REPORTS FROM ALABAMA AND GEORGIA
| MoNTGOMRRY Dec. 2f.-The election is pass
| ing off quietly in his city, there being no op-
| position to the secession ticket. The most re-
! liable information that can obtain, lelds me
| 10 believe that the separate secessloIlsts Will
! elect seventy y-fve delegates out OF one hun
| dred. The ordinance will probably be passed
| on the 9th day OF January IL Is thought that
| Mississippi will secede the same day.
! There is no truth in the reports OF large
| Union gains in Georgia. On the contrary, IL
| is thought by Weli-intormed men in that State
| t1aI the rejection by the Republican Senators
| OF Mr.. Toum bs proposition tor consul tuilonal
| amendments will induce Mr. Stephens 10 de-
| clare in favor OF immediate secession.
| Gov. Moore issueo u proclamation day,
| eonvening the Legislature OF Alabama, TO pro
| vide, by State laws, for any emergency that
| may arise from the acton OF the ConN Nenttop.
| The Legislature will BILE on The ii Of
| January. The Convention meets on the 7th.

fayette ever painted. This is from the easel OF
Professor Morse. His very title OF "Profes-
sor'' comes from the fact that he was the ap-
poin ted Professor of Fine Arts at the tounda-
ton Of the New York University.
