THE Pass Christian Minute Men.

Ed. Crescent-A very large meeting of the citi-
zens of Pass Christian and vicinity was held Decem

organization, as volunteer company, subject to
the requistion of the Governor of the State Of
Mississippi in defending rights either in or out
Of the Union. - 4.-s.
Mr.. j. E. Seaman was, unanimously, elected
Chairman, and Mr.. F. sutter, appointed Secretary.
The Chairman after having explained the object Of
the meeting, continued his remarks in warm and
decided terms in favor of Southern Rights, and the
necessity of prompt and efficient action, in order
to secure full, ample and unquestionable guaran,
ties for our future safety and equality in the Union
or else to achieve our independence out of the
Union. He deprecated violent and preeptate
measures, and urged the Importance of joint de-
liberation and action of Southern men in genera
convention
r. Seal, Esq, being called upon, made strong
stirring address in favor of immediate secession
which was received with great enthusiasm. Ii
order to test the sentiments of those present upol
| this question, he moved in favor of the immediate
secession of the State of Mississippi from thu
Union, which was carried almost unanimously.
VIM B. Lightfoot, Esq, next responded to tn
call of the meeting, and in very interesting an
impressive manner, dwelt upon the propriety an
necessity of the proposed military organization.

gentlemen promptly came forward and enrolle

the twadde of England getting supply from AUS
tralia 1t is Of no for some folks attempting to
weaken the very strong position of the great South
by talking Of raising cotton way offin Australia to
meet Englands wants. 1t is idle to talk Of such
suggestions.
The arrivals of steamers for the week have been
numerous. Produce from the West is in abund-
ance and more coming; though some OF the upper
tributaries of the Mississippi are under an ice en-
barge, the varied productions Of the West and
Northwest will flow into our market, as usual, all
through the season. Even after the great Southern
confederacy is organized, New Orleans will be an
open port, as heretofore. New Orleans is not going
to lose any of its merchants, citizens, capital or
facilities from continuing the great trade with the
West.
On the great levee it was active yesterday,
though at one section of the steamboat landing
there was not much business doing This is readily
accounted for. Planters from Red river and Qua
chita river sections have not got a 1.-THE of their
cotton to market. Then again, when they visit the
city, they will purchase only moderately.
There was something doing down among the
girnlet rangers Sugar is moving freely; in fact,
under very good inquiry. There are purchases
| daily and hourly for the Western markets. The
| Black Republicans are quiet. Now and then one
comes to the depot, but they pursue the part of
| discretion by keeping their ideas to themselves.
All they appear to want is the sugar, for which
| they have to pay in hard money The great sugar
dealer, Gov. 81 D. Morgan, of New York, would
not be trusted for q hogshead of sugar, though he
has been interested in many thousands purchased
| in years past on our flags or on plantations.
There are four or five owners of sugar estates in
Louisiana now permanent residents in New York
