COLUMBIA, S. C.,Nov.9.-The Speak
er of the House last night received dis
patch from Virginia rendering the ser
vices of volunteer crops in the event
of South Caroliana seeding.
Edmund Rufin made a secession
speech here last night, and was raptu-
rously received.
Efforts were made yesterday in the
Legislature to wait for the cooperation
of other Southern States, but they failed.
A State Convention is to be called and
secession is certain. The election of del
egates will probably be ordered on the
4th of December, and the convention will
meet on the 18th. Messrs. Boyce, Bon
ham and Keitt urge the calling of con-
vention and immediate action.
CHARLESTON, Nov. s-A large body
of citizens called on the resigned feder-
al officers last night, and cheered them
loudly. These officials returned thanks.
A dispatch in the Courier from Wash
ington says that the President will resist

CHARLESTON, Nov. 8.-The barque
james Gray, owned by Cushings of Bos-
ton, lying here, under instructions from
the owners, hoisted a Palmetto flag and
saluted it with fifteen guns.
CHARLESTON, Nov. 8.-James Con-
nor, United States District Attorney
Collector Colcock and Deputy Collector
Jacobs, have notified the President Of
their designations
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-Letters con-
tinue to be received from respectable
sources at the South by the administration
asserting that South Carolina will posi-
lively secede from the Union. As vet
there has been no formal consideration
of the subject by The Cabinet, and there
fore no course of action in view of such
a contingency has yet been adopted.
Notwithstanding the reserve of the Cab
met officers, it is known that on the dis
tinctive legal question of secession they

vived the rumor that Secretaries Cobb
and Thompson are on the eve of resign
ing, but the rumor is without foundation.
No troops have been recently sent to
Southern military post, nor is such a
movement contemplated.
MILLEDGEvILLE, GA, Nov. 8.-Gov-
ernor Brown has sent a special message
to the Legislature. In it he expresses
the opinion that but few States will be
represented in the Southern Convention,
and does not recommend the appointment
of delegates from Georgia. He thinks
the Constitutional rights of the people
of Georgia have been violated by several
nonslaveholding States, to the extent of
justifying, in the judgment of civilized
nations, any measures necessary for the
restoration and for future protection of
their rights. 1t refers to the origin of the
Government and portrays subsequent IN
constitutional and unfriendly acts. 1t is
pointedly severe on Massachusetts laws,
and says if the laws of Massachusetts
cause the plumber of Georgia citizens,
that State must be compelled to compen-

He says let US meet unjust aggression
and unconstitutional legislation with just
retaliation. He recommends the enact
ment of laws authorizing the seizure of
such amount Of the money or property of
any citizen of such offending or faithless
State, as will idemnify losses. He re-
commends such Legislation as will drive
the manufactured articles of offending
States from Georgia. He says Georgia
has the right as soon as Northern goods
are brought there to tax them as she
deems proper. He advises the passage
of law taxing goods and merchandise
25 per cent. after the LIST of January, if
manufactured in or brought from Massa-

Should such legislation prove ineffec-

parts of the civil code protecting the
