The Action OF Georgia..

The Committee on the state of the Republic, in
the Georgia Legislature, issued an address, re-
%questiug q conference of some Of the eminent men
Of Georgia in Milledgevi!le. The result of that
conference is a bill to call a Convention to meet
on the 9th January, the election to AXE place on
the Goth December.
The preamble to the proposed bill says.
Whereas the present crisis in our National
affairs, in the judgment of this General Assem-
bly,, demands resistance ; and whereas it is the
privilege of the sovereign people to determine
upon the mode, measure and time of such resis
lance.
This bill is endorsed by such men as Governor
Brown, Hon. C. j. jenkins. Hon. Alfred liver
sou and others of similar position and influence.
There is little doubt expressed as to its adoption
by the Legislature.

PAPERS.

The Southern Presbyterian has been removed
from Charleston to Columbia, and placed under
the editorial management of Rev. A. A. Porter.
We have received the first two or three numbers.
Mr.. Porter promises to make an able and useful
editor.
The Guardian and Carolinian have both made
arrangements to give full and accurate reports
of the proceedings of the Legislature at its regu-
lar session. They will be furnished during the
session, for one dollar free Of postage. Let those
who are interested most in disseminating politi-
cal knowledge among our people. get up a large
club for these staunch Southern Rights journals.

by that test also and the work itself now proves
that the hope with which we greeted its an
nouncement some months ago had the best of
foundations-a true idea Of the ability of the
accomplished and gifted writer. 1t takes a poet
to appreciate poets, and culture to do justice
to culture. We were always proud of our
Southern women; and in this gem book we rec
ognize q fit tribute to them and an honor to her
who has paid that tribute so handsomely.
Townsend and North, of Columbia, have the
work on sale.
The same Booksellers have placed upon our
table the last novel-"Will He Find Her" one
of the sensation class. 1t is of the style called
thrilling; Astounding in abductions, murders,
burglaries, adulteries-a blood and thunder kind
of thing. 1t is written by a gentleman of New
Orleans; and the scene is divided between that
city and New York. Lucrecis, the heroine, is a
finely defined and we'll chosen character, wrong
ed and struggling against the tide of life, one in
whom the interest never flags, and in whose ul-
innate fate We cordially sympathize. The range
of scene is wide-from the dr.. ring rooms of
Upper-teadom to the drink-holes of Five Points.
Some fine pro-slavery sarcasm and some calm
logical inquiry will commend the book to South
ern readers. The characters are largely for
eign--French, Spaniards, and Creoles. The
work is dedicated to Judge Meek of Mobile, and
is written by one nom-de-plume-ing himself
Winter Summerton. He promises US another
novel, to appear soon. evil He Find Her 7" is
a neat duodecimo of 400 pages, published by
Derby and Jackson New York, at a dollar and q
quarter. Townsend and North have it.

SPRINGFIELD, November 13.-Mr. Lincoln, in
conversation with some friend yesterday, while
deeply regretting the excitement that prevailed
at the South, did not, at the same time, deem
it e1pedient that he should say anything publicly

mer writings and speeches, and from these to the
platform Of the party which elected him-a com
~bination, he thinks, sufficient for all purposes.

Unfounded Rumors.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-The story
that the President has said that he re-
CARDS secession as a notification of the
Federal laws, and would resort to coer-
cion to prevent it, is without any foun-
dation in fact. There has been no Cabi-
net meeting on the subject, and the is
sue of secession has never yet been for
mally before the Cabinet.
A dispatch from Springfield, Illinois,
informs us that Lincoln said on Satur-
day last, in reply to some gentlemen
who were questioning him in relation
to his course, that during the last six
years his policy had been known asa
public man, and hat if his past asser-
lions obtained no credit, his present
ones would be treated no better. He,
therefore, fatty refuses to make any
public exposition of his views until his
Inauguration takes place.
