sippi, calling an extra session Of the Leg
isature of that State:
Whereas, the people ofthe non-slavehcld-
ing States have, iu various forms, declared
purposes hostile to the institutions of the
slaveholding States, and the State Govern
ments of nearly all the Northern States
have evinced a settled purpose to evade
their constitutional obligations and disre-
gard their oaths in carrying on this war on
the rights and institutions of the Southern
States.
And whereas, the recent election Of
Messrs. Lincoln and Hamlin demonstrates
that those who neither reverence the Con.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF Gov.
LETcHER.-A proclamation from Governor
Letcher, calling an extra session of the
Legislature, to meet on the 7th Of Janua,
ry next; is published. He gives, as one
of the reasons for this action, the sale of
the James River and Kanawha Canal to a
company of French capitalists, which re-
quires the sanction of the Legislature to be
rendered perfect. The next reason We give
in his own words:
"And whereas, in consequence of the ap-
pointment of electors, majority of whom
are known to be favorable to the election
of sectional candidates as President and
Vice. President of the United States, whose
principles and views are believed by a
large portion of the Southern States to be
in direct hostility to their Constitutional
rights and interests, and in consequence
thereof great excitement prevails in the
public mind, and prudence requires that
the representatives Of the people Of this
Commonwealth should take into cousidera-
ton the condition of public affairs, and
determine calmly and wisely what action
is necessary in this emergency-1, John
Letcher, Governor, by virtue Of the au-
thority aforesaid" &c.

NORTH CARoL1NA.-We are indebted
to friend in Shelby for the full proceed
ings of meeting of the citizens Of Cleve-
land county, held at that place, on the 18th
instant. The meeting was addressed by
DR.. W. j. T. Miller, Rev. Joseph Holmes,
DR.. Williams and others. At the close Of
the speaking, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That the election of Abe Lin
coin to the Presidency should be the cause
of immediate secession by all the slave
States.
Resolved, That we now instruct our Rep
resentatives and Senator elect to the Legis.
lature to use their utmost endeavors, so soon
as they are organized, to pass a law requi'
ring the citizens of this State to vote as
soon as may be practicable, on the propriety
of the States seeding from the Union.
Rev. Joseph Holmes closed the meeting
with prayer. He prayed devoutly and fer
vently for Heavens most propitious bles-
sings on us, the South, and South Carolina
10 particular, and our country generally.
We have not seen the Message of Gov.
Ellis. The Charlotte Bulletin Of the 2lst
says:
The Message recommends the calling Of
Convention of all the Southern States,
and ou the failure of the meeting of such
Convention, it recommends the sending of
Commissioners to each of the different
States, in order to effect concert of action
1t also recommends the calling of a Con-
vention Of this State. 1t suggests and re-
commends that reorganization Of the mi
litia system should be at once Effected
that an amount sufficient to arm and equip
10000 men be appropriated.
The portion of that Message referring to
Federal Affairs was referred, on yesterday,
to joint select Committee.
There will be bill introduced to-day
into the House for the purpose of removing
the present restrictions against the Banks
suspending.
The rules will be suspended the bill
will pass without any opposition.
Some of the banks have received instruc
ions to suspend.

Richmond Enquirer, of this morning, pub
fishes an important letter from Governor
Letcher, of Virginia, in reply to John S.
Brisbin, Of Pennsylvania, who had previous

idea of secession, and stating that two hun
dred Virginians had rendered him their
command in the event of dissolution, &C.
The Governor, in his reply to Mr.. Brisbin,
administers severe rebuke to Nothern null

the part of the North is the prime cause OF
our present troubles.
He advises the Northern people to cor.

Urge the South Carolini-

course of the citizens of Savannah is dicta-
ted simply because they see that free port
at Charleston would absorb every thing in
all the Southern Atlantic slope. Tell the
Carolinians that Virginia volunteers will
cover their soil entire, if they are needed.
This will be disclosed very soon. The SEN
timents of our people are changing rapidly,
but it will not be up to the proper mark in
time to do any good, but no fear of coer-
