TIE SOUTHERN EXCITEMENT.
The conviction grows stronger here every
day that souc satisfactory solution Of the
present excitement in tue South will yet be
lound- .
Precautions have been taken to prevent any
collision between Federal and Stu1c authorl-
ties In South Carolina or to excite jealousics
which might provoke difficulty. There IS
very stron. disposition there among the more
discreet leaders to postpone any dc1nonstFa~
ton which might test the issue practically un-
til tho close oi h{r. Buchanan's term, while
those more rash, like Mr. keitt, are anxious to
precipitatc it, expecting hc will remain pa6-

Gle, the movement to be made Immediately
on tbs assembling Of Congress. The impress
sion is, this would arrest my further proceed

All such pal1iatives, however. do not reach

sires to scccdc, and ID now committed to mike
ter be settled decislvcly, rather than suffered

Mr. Buchanan's friends deny cmrhaslcally
that Mr. keitt hnd any authority for his state
ment in Columbia last night, that the Prcsi-
dent was ''plcdgcd to accession"
One Of the Banks here refused to take South
Carolina bills at my rAte Of discount to-day
In fortnight more they will deprcciate 70 per

PARTIES N GEORGIA.
There will be reconstruction Of parties In
Georgia upon the direct Issue of Union or Dis-
union, in which the latter faction will be de-
featad worse than in ISL.
