Important From south Carolina.

CoLunBIa, Monday, Nov. 26, 1860
Thu city has presented an unusually busy appear
ance to-day, for the MEMBERS and other persons in
terested in their deliberations, have been arriving to
&c present. at the opening Of the Ler1.Sure tonl7a
That body is now in session. IT, deliberations Will De
principally confined to the ordinary bufiness 81 tie
State and no direct action be taken regarding the
secession movement, for the Legislature has already
gone tothe extent Of IL jurisdiction in having issued
the call for Convention.
The Leci laluIe however, has Just read, for the
first tine bill to ann the State, and to raise sfOOOO
for thai purpose.
Ont Of the I67 members there is not a single man
who IL Known to be cooPeraionisti every one Il IN
favor Of uneoadional secretion. II is believed that
if single member avowed biz sentiments to be other
wise he would be summarily dealt with. There Is
little sad here, however, upon the great question
which now agita ~ the nation. TIE people have re-
posed into qeud, but il the repose OF settled con-
yiction and calm, deliberate determination
There is but one sentiment peryading the minds Of
the entire community, aSentment that Is enterthheu
alike by all classes Of citizens and that IT, that Sonh
Carolina will not, un0er any circumstances, remain
in tie Union There ar many men in South Carolina
who have been dearly devoted to the uuon, men
who deeply deplOre tbs necessity that nag eH,
listed for it, dissolution. There are very few In al
the State who would not have preferred that South
Carolina could have been permitted to sit under the
protecting wings of the parent coniederasy; and
the great heart Of the State, as represented IN the
thousands Of her people has bcd as che has been com
PEELED to deliberately ana cOnsc<DtlOusy resolve 'nbt
she could not remain another day ia the Union But the
question narrowed down to TIM point that she must
either give up the Union give up al elements OF her
vitality and the first law Of nature demanded that
she should protect herself Therefore South Carna is
now out of the Union as much az she can be. ADtha
remains to be done il the simple declaration Of the fact
by the Convention which il to meet en- the 18th OF
December. No human power, nothing bat an interpo-
stion Of Providence can avert It, IL Il great pity
that the North did not and does not will not,
derstsnd the South and her institutions in their trne
character; fos if they did matters would certainly
never have come to this lamentable condition.
The State is making active preparations to resist any
demonstration on the part of the Federal Government.
Tenders of aid from other States continue TO come to
the Governor, and strong and so universal If the
feeling, that the moment the command shall have been
gwen 10 600 soldiers within her own boundaries from
the mountains to the sea, will come forward to the de-
Tense Of South Carolina and they all would sooner die,
the State subjugated province than passryely
submit to continuance OF Northern encroachments on
her tights.
The Governor will send in his Message at o'clock
tomorrow. He will recommend that the Legislature
should to extent, foster and encourage direct
trade with Europe and the Continent, BY taking upon
itself q part Of the losses that might flow from the
establishment of such direct trade To this end the
proposition of some citizens Of Charleston to establish
tine Of between that port and Liverpool Is
favorably thought Of.
In the event of traitors arising within the State after
she sha have asserted her sovereignty. it il probable
that he will advise some Legislation in particularly
defining reason to the State and settling the punish
ment for that offence 1t is believed that he will recon-
mend that a law be passed Furnishing summalily and
severely-rerhaps with death-sny person who circu-
lates incendiary documents, avOws himself Adolf
ZIONIST or u any way endeavors to incte the slaves
to insubordination or nsurrection; and that South
Carolina shall bind herself to take fifty thousand
dollars worth of arms annually for five years,
from Major Ripley in accordance with the pro-
position of that gentleman; and that negotiation
be entered into between South Carolina Georgia
and Alabama, to fix upon a site for the armory. He
probably will recommend what the Legislature has
already anticipated him in, that Is to the State at
the earliest practical period to prepare for the
first overt act on the part of the Federal Government
1t is relieved. however, that the State If well armed
already for in addition 10 the in the arsenals,
many of which are OF the approved pattern the
existing law under which the military of the State is
organized requires each to have his own firearms
