 Secession Movements. To J I A mammoth pole was erected near the .I Charleston Hotel, last week, and the State flag hoisted on it. Prayer was offered by Rev: MT. Gadsden, speeches made by number of cltl- jzens, 100 guns were fired, the band played the Marseilles hymn, and afterwards the Mlserere from Il Trovatore for the Union. All the large hotels have hoisted the Palmetto flag. Seces- sion badges are universal. Not ship in the harbor flies the Federal flag "
 The purpose of Virginia is to maintain an armed neutrality until she is prepared to act as Mediator. Meanwhile she will prepare for the worst and if the States now threatening to se- cede adopt her programme and the North refus- es compliance herewith, Virginia will unite in embrace the repeal of all statutes nullifying the fugitive slave law-as guarantee of it's faithful enforcement and the protection of slave prop erty in the territories ','.
 fen thousand stand of arms are being distrib- uted in Mississippi by order of the Governor. Accounts represent the stato almost unanimous l for secession. 4E"sg s, IS-.Haf B Ya .s
 CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENTS IN GEoRcIA.-The largest meeting eyer held in Green Co.,, Ga., took place last Friday. The most influential men in the county participated in the proceed ings, Resolutions of a conservative character were adopted by an almost unanimous vote. They urged that State Convention of all par ties be called, calmly consider the present condition of affairs, and the movements which threaten to destroy the Union. They appeal to the people of the Union to discard from their councils the schemes now being agitated by po- litical demagogues of all sections, and to rally to the assistance of the imperilled government.
 They say that politicians have stirred up this excitement and created mutual distrlst between the North and South-that they have pandered to the passions and prejudiccs of the people, and have kept each section ignorant of the pa l triotic, conservative, and Catholic feelings of the otherzsthat the two sections are mutually exasperated by the incendiary representations of hungry office seekers, and find themselves forced into this controversy. .. ayu..3.- 5 At very largo meeting in Hancock County on Saturday, resolutions of a firm conservative nature were unanimously adopted. They deny that the mere election of Lincoln is q cause for disunion. ->
 | A majority of the county meetings favor se- cession. Many, however, are strongly conserv- ative. Ali are in favor of State Convention, and all oppose any attempt at coercion of sece- ding States. 55s-. ......-.,.- .l.....

 | CABINET MovEMENrs.--The correspondent of the Express telegraphs that the city IS alive with ramsrs of grave disagreements in the Cabi- net. The President maintains the illegality of secession well as it's mpolicy, and is resolved to earnestly. rebuke it. Secretaries Cobb and Thompson threaten to resign unless he suppress es the Condemnation of the secessionists pro- ceedings. Postmaster General Holt, to some extent, dissents from the Presidents position, but it is doubtful whether he will carry his op- position so far as to resign in case the President adheres to his sentiments. l A Washington despatch to the Times says that distinguished Southern Senator, now in Il Washington, not only denies the right of secess- huf pka hot s. fault in not giving the refractory States to un- derstand at once that the whole power of the Federal Government will be used to sustain and preserve the Union. %s's- -The speech of Mir. Rhett, in which he saws that Gen. Lane has rendered the services of himself and sons to South Carolina in the event of secession difficulties, is being much commen- ted on in political circles. 't.'' l
 The latest advices from South Carolina say that every nominee thus far to the Convention. has openly avowed his anxiety for immediate secession, while the excitement on the subject increases, and full confidence prevails that Geor- Egia, Mississippi and Alabama will join in the movement. oss .F ,. I -Clapp, Fuller Browne of Boston, who : are in the Southern trade, say in a communica- , ton to the ISanscript: " We take up our morn- ing papers, filled with secession talk from the South, and go down to our office afterwards and are surprised every day to find remittances from l Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, Natchez, New
 Orleans, and from all parts of the South, as usual.
 These facfs are worth more than the telegraphic reports, which come from no one kno,cs actere. Our letters also say that those persons who make
 their living out of politics. and have everything
 to gain and nothing to lose, are those who talk ' the loudest, and are in favor of immediate se- f fcessions. Merchants and all practical men dis n countenance 1t"
 If The Boston Post says. We hear of several
 furniture orders this week. from the South-and
 more than that, from Charleston-and more | than that, accompanied by remittances In the piano forte trade, also the Southern orders seem < u interrupted"
 The Vicksburg (Miss.,) Whig continues to
 light steadily for the Union, and insists that Mis- r sssppi if the question were submitted to her, 3 would condemn disunion schemes by 5000 ma l. tiority. These questions of Union and dsunion,
 taxation and conventions, peace and war, seces-
 sion and revolution are not party issues--they effect every citizen alike; and while Mississippi may vote for democratic candidate for presi- . dent because he is democrat, it by no means U follows that her people will precipitate them selves into a civil war; because he is defeatcd.- 3, Again we say, there need be no fear of Missis- . l.sippi. She will vote down dsunion, whenever il the factionists make the issue by an overwhelm- ! ing majority. Let them make the issue, then if : they dare." ,5s -. - i,----
