Secession and DisaszsIOHa.

AltO OIclGC vi 0OuGiL CdlOlIIld, WHICH
has been in condition of disquietude
for over thirty years, is, at present,
making great buster. The Legisla-
ture in session have adopted sundry
measures looking to secession. Below
will be found extracts showing the state
Of feeling;
COLUMBIA, S. G. Thursday, Nov. s.
The speaker of the House last night got
a dispatch from Virginia, rendering the
support of volunteer corps, in the
event of South Cardinals secession.
Edmond Ruffin spoke last night. He
said southern independence had been
his life long study, and he thought it
could only be secured by the secession
Of South Carolina. His speech was
rapturously applauded. Other stirring
addresses were made.
Efforts were made yesterday in the
Legislature to wait for South ern COS
operation, but failed. A State Conven-
ton is to be called, and secession is
certain,
CHARLESTON, Nov. 9,-The Senate
has passed bill calling convention to
meet in this city or the 18th of Janua-
ry. The election of delegates is to take
place on the 18th of January.
INTELLECTUALLY, Ga, Thursday Nov
8.-Gov. Brown, in q special message
to the Legislature, thinks but few States
will meet at the Southern Convention,
and does not Recommend the appoint
of delegates from Georgia.
He recommends the enactment of
laws authorizing the seizure of such
amount of money or property of any
citizen Of such offending and faithless
State for indemnifying the losses of the
citizens Of Georgia. He recommends
the Legislature to drive the manufac,
tured articles of such offending States
from Georgia. He says Georgia has
the right, as soon as Northern goods
are brought into Georgia, to tax them
as she deems proper.
He advises the passage of law tax
ing goods and merchandise twenty five
per centum, introduced after the first of
January, if manufactured in Or bought
from Massachusetts, Vermont, Michigan.
Maine, Rhode Island, New York, Wis
consin, ar other unfriendly States, and
the tax to be RENTED when the un>
legislations are repealed
Should such legislation prove inefectu-
al, he recommends the repeal OF all
parts of the penal and civil code, pro
tecting the lives, liberties and properties
of the citizens of the States where such
laws exist.
The message fills % closely printed
octave pages. A full review of often
sive Northern legislation concludes
thus :" For the purpose Of putting the
State in defensive position as fast as
possible, and preparing for the emer>
gency which must be met sooner or
later, I recommend that the sum of
million of dollars be Immediately appro-
priated as a military fund for the ensu-
ing year, and prompt provision made
for raising such portion ofthe money as
may not be in the treasury, as fast as
public expenditures require. Millions
for defense but not one cent for tribute
should be the future motto of the South |
ern states. To every demand for future
or compromise of our rights,
we should reply, The argument is ex>
hausted and we now stand on our
arms"
COLUMBIA, S. c., 1O.-On the open
ing of the House of Assembly to dav.
for business, the Speaker announced he |
had communication from VIM. Ches-
nut, resigning his position as Senator of

ton that the resignation be accepted. |

would be regarded with regret.
would only be recognized as an act Of
loyal devotion to South Carolina. Nj.
