ing off quietly in this city, there being no op.
position to the secession ticket. The most re.
liable information that can obtain leads me
to believe that the separate secessionists will
elect seventy-ive delegates out of one hundred
The ordinance will probably be passed on the
9th day of January. 1t is thought that Missis
sippi will secede on the same day.
There is no. truth in the reports Of large
Union gains in Georgia. On the contrary, it
is thought, by wellinformed men in that State
that the rejection by the Republican Senators
of MIR. Toombss proposition for constitutional
amendments will induce Mr.. Stephens to de-
clare in favor of immediate secession.
Governor Moore issued proclamation to-
day, convening the Legislature of Alabama, to
provide by State laws for any emergency that
may arise from the action Of the Convention
The Legislature will assemble on the l4th

Black Democracy In Convention.

AFTER great efforts TO forostall the action
Of delegates by sitting with closed doors

of admission, signally failed In their Of

of tho party. Their sessions were
stormy, personal and vindictivc, and ut

tho party and applied by their grcatcst
leader, Calhoun, finally prevailed, and
tho "cohosiyo power Of public plumber

The most mastery and eloquent argu.

mir north oftho northern boundaries of
Tennessee and North Carolina. Hence,
they can only be raised IN your State
by being placed in heated consorvato-
ries OF greenhouses during the winter
