NOTES FROM PRIVATE LETTERS.

in reference to the recent Secession meeting there's
"Carey w. Styles who figured largely In the res:
of Capt. Farrham, made telling speech lie told
us he had hundred men down in the wire-grass
country, ready at a Minutes notice TO sustain Savan-
nah in any action she might take Among them were
five ministers of the Gospel who enlisted in the
cause. There is much room for conjecture as to the
turn affairs win take. More depends, perhaps, on the
position Stephens and johnson may take. II they OPP
pore the movement there will be a severe struggle,
and they may carry the day. but If they come out In
favor of secession, earthly power can successfully
resist it."
A prominent lawyer in Vicksburg, Miss, writes to
his correspondent in this city as follows
"Ihe result of the Presidential Election Is producing

A banker in Vicksburg writes as follows:
"Ihere is considerable excitement to-day, az We
fear Lincoln is elected and have Just learned from
jackson that GholsOn and Griffith United States Judge
and Marshal are TO resign tomorrow, but we suppose
there will he foand enough Democratic patriots to hold
these offices and all others in the State, either under

"Some of our people are making great Efforts to
kick up fuss but it win all blow in short time
Some of our leading politicians die hard, and it's moth

The Bank Of New-York has received letter,
of which the following is extract, from one of its
correspondents in the interior of the State Of South
Carolina;
81 deem it duty unanimously approved Of by the
Board of Directors of this Bank to say to You that
under any emergency that may arise, this Bank will
not countenance the liquidation OF or refusal to pay
any note, draft bill sent here for collection by any
every ntmaion of the kind, and force, to the full
tent Of the law, the protection Of their commercial
rights against citizens who may be indebted
10 them. We have understood that the lawyers are, in
many towns refusing TO collect Northern paper and
that more merchants have resolved TO repudate their
obligations. / can safely say we have such hypo
critical bankrups with us; and know the Judiciary
of South Carolina will raise their strong against it,
Ii has been minated that the banks should also refuse
TO collect Northern bills notes due by Southern mer
chants. do not entertain the opinion that they

An eminent Washington banker writes to friend III
New-York that
Many Of his clients have sold ont their various

other customers' but does not-as ia quite natural
desire to do 20 until prices shall have sunk 10 their
lowest quotations. The bankers letter further said
that the Cotton States, with the exception of South
Carolina would be mainly governed in their action

Secessionists making fuss in the Palmetto Com
monwealth Let the fire burn itself out, is the sub
stantia and common-sense advice given by Of the
master minds of Southern Finance. Mississippi will
not Join South Carolina unless Georgia advances pari
pdssu and the public opinion Of Georgia Is
aye that Of the Empire City. Alabama Louisiana,
and Florida have their fortunes commercially and geo.
graphically bound up with those Of Mississippi that
as Mississippi acts in concert with Georgia, which
bitterly opposed TO Secession South Carolina will have
TO take the initiative OF Disunon, and maintain herself
in that position alone"
