BALTIMORE, Nov. 26. An association call
ing themselves the Southern Volunteers dis
playing the Palmetto flag from their place of
meeting to-day. A large crowd were attract
ed by the novelty Of the thing, and the flag
was greeted with groans and Kisses from the

Capt. Jones, of the bark Isabel, also dis
played the Palmetto flag from the mast head
of his vessel this morning, when all the ships
in the vicinity Immediately ran up the stars
and stripes.
CHARLESTON, Nov. 26-The city is quiet
to-day, the members of the Legislature have
mostly gone to Columbia. The regular ses-
sion opens tonight. The Governors message
| will be read on Tuesday. 1t is rumored that
troops are coming from Fort Moultrie. 1t is
now evident that none will be sent to the Con
vention, unless strongly committed to seces-
sion.
COLUMBIA, s. G. Nov. 26.-The Legislature
has Just read for the first time, a bill to arm
! the State and raise 100000 for that purpose.
| Tenders of aid from others States continue to
come to the Governor, and so strong and uni
versal is the feeling, that the moment that the
command shall have been given, 10000 soldiers
| within her own boundaries from the mountains
| to the sea, will come forward to the defence Of
| South Carolina, and they all would sooner die
/ or see the State a subjugated province, than
passively submit to a continuance of Northern
encroachments on her rights. The Governor
will send in his message at l O'Clock to-mor-
/ row. He will recommend that the Legislature
should to some extent encourage and foster dl-
rect trade with the European continent, by
taking upon itself part of the losses which
| might flow from the establishment of direct
trade, and to this end a proposition of some
citizens of Charleston, to establish line OF
| steamers between that port aud Liverpool, is
/ favorabIy thought of. In the event of traitors
arising in the State after she shall have assert
ed her sovereignty, il is probable that he will
| advise some legislation in II: ire particularly
defining treason to the State, and settling
the punishment for that offenSe. 1t is believ-
ed that he viii recommend tia: law be pass
ed furnishing sun,marily and sever, ly and heay-
lly, perhaps Will uetlAn, ANY ptfoon Wuo crcu-
| lates incendary documents, avows himself an
abolitionist, OF in any way cntieavors to ineite
the slaves to insufrec,ion or characterization,
and that South Carolina. shall bind herself to
take $4,000 worth Of arms annually for 5
years, from Maj. Ripley, in aceorclance with
the proposition OF that gentleman, and that a
negotiation be entered into between South
Carolina, Georgia and Alabama, to fix a site
for the ermory. lie probably will recommend
what the Legislature has already anticipated
him in, that is to arm the Stale at the earliest
practicable period, SO as to prepare for the first
act on the part of the Federal Government.
