FROM THE SnUTU


CoLUyUiA, D e. Is Considerable gloom appears to
prevail anoag al c5ses at present. owisg TO the preva-
suce OF the small poI, which is lettering hundreds from
coming 70 the city.
TIE lower house of the Legislature yesterday by a
small ms0rty voted in favor of the adipurnng Of the
Legislature TO Charleston. The Senate may concur on
Monday. But few delegates TO the Convention have vet
arrived. Nc Cobb and Mr.. Niles here, also Mr..
Hooper Commissioner from Mississippi and Mr.. Elmore
from Aabtua The beginning and end Of all converse
tons is South Carolina viii promptly pass ordinance
Of secession vhe her veal or betidc, and at
resume her powers Of sovereignty.
RALuGH Dee l7-In the Senate the bill TO arm the
State, which apprOpTiates 100000, there
citing debate. The order for tomorrow at is Il e
resolution declaring the right Of secession.
CoLuvuI,, Dec. IA heavy and almost obscurirg
fog hangs pilxe the city, creating general gloom
The smapo panic Is intense among citizens and stran
gers Macy members Of the Legislature have gone home.
Strong hors will be made to-day TO adjourn the Legs
laure aud Convention 10 Charleston II this is done
then the Convention will probably pass the ordinance Of
secession aud adjourn to-day.
sEcoSD DISPATCH
CoLUyBIA Dec. l7-There is hardly doubt about
:he small pox being epidemic here. lt also prevails
in Camden. general stampede from Columbia may be
anticipated and then the disease may spread the
State.
The Convention assembled at noon. General Jamison
chosen temporary Chsirman and the call is progress
ing for the delegates from districts and parishes to
roll their written invitation from the Legisla
TO the Convention to participate in the Inauguration
Of Governor, al o'clock. laid on the table, until
the Convention had organized The enrolling Of names
vas then continued The outside attendance was small
Some members Of the Convention are young in appear
ance but they generally middle aged So far every
thing il uumpassioned in the Legislature and nothing Of
interest has transpired in either branch.
