THE NEWS.

Reports from Pensacola, received through
dispatches from NewOrleans, indicate that
the Governor of Florida has determined to
risk a collision with the federal forces at Fort
Pickens, unless that fortifcation shall be
speedily surrendered to the State authorities.
He has already assembled a force of two
thousand men in the vicinity, and Major
Chase, Commander of the State troops, has
telegraphcd to the Mayor of New Orleans for
two thousand additional men, the aVowed pur-
pose being an attack upon the fort. Troops
are also constantly arriving from Mississippi
and other points. The Pensacola pilots have
been notified not to pilot United States vessels
into the harbor on pain of death, and the
steamer HVand0tte is reported as lying at the
entrance Of the harbor, with the families of
the United States officers or board, out of
coal and supplies,-s not being permitted to
enter The Florida forces had twenty-five
heavy guns mounted at the Navy-yard, and it
was believed that Fort Pickens could be ia
ken with loss of not more than three hun
dred men. The latest account, however, ex-
presses some doubt as to there being any fight
Jog, the prevalent belief being that the officer
in command of the fort would surrender 1t
is of course impossible to surmise how well
this belief may be founded. Dispatches from
Washington assert that efforts are being made
there to prevent the catastrophe of collision,
though great apprehensions are entertained
that it will occur
The Georgia State Convention adopted the
secession ordinance at ? p. m. on Saturday
Ayes, 20S Nays, SO. A motion to postpone
the operation of the ordinance till March 5
was lost. Among those who voted against
the ordinance were Hon. Alexander II. Ste
phens and Hon. Herschel V. Johnson. Res
olutions in favor of continuing the present
postal and revenue system, and all the civil
Federal officers, till otherwise ordered, were
adopted. The event was celebrated at Mil
ledgeville and elsewhere in the State with
cannon, pyrotechnics and speeches.

MR.. SEWARD'S SPEECH.

The speech of Mr.. Seward on the present
political crisis, an extract from which may be
found in another column is regarded as one of
the most eloquent and able that ever fell from
the lips of the distinguished Senator His
positions may be understood from the follow.
ing points:
l. His adherence to the fugitive slave law,
and his opinion that state laws in opposition
to the fugitive slave clause and laws ought to
be repealed.
2. That slavery should be left to the State
laws, and his willingness to vote for an amend
ment of the Constitution depriVng Congress
hereafter of power to interfere with it there.
8. His third point, in regard to the organi-
zation of two States, which should include all
the territories except Kansas, is practically an
nulled by its numerous qualifications aud re-
Servations; but last, and to his mind best of
all, would be a convention Of the people after
secession and disunon have run their career to
be assembled in pursuance of the Constitution
to consider and decide whether any and what
amendments of the organic law ought to be
made
4. He is willing to vote for laws preventing
and furnishing the invasion of States by citi
zens of other States
5. Physical and material bonds being frmer
than written ones, he would vote for two Pacific
railways-one northern and one southern.
MIR. SEWARD inasmuch as he foreshadows
the purposes of the incoming administration
has gone as far in favor of concession as is
consistent with the principles of the party
too far to endeavor to win back the allegiance
Of a band of rebels who openly defy the go
Vernment. AS ardently as peace is to be de
sired, it is too great price to pay for it by
concessions of any kind, which will have to
be repeated whenever they choose to make
new demands Mr.. Seward with his ncom-
parable rhetoric, may stay the storm for
time, but he cannot avert the struggle which
must finally come. The true way Of settle
ment is for the North to accept the aterna-
tive, which has been insolentIy given them,
and decree a slaughter Of traitors If there
is any pluck in Northern men the whole ques-
ton is now on the eve of final and lasting
adjudication. Let there be no backing down.
If the government is worth preserving at all,
is only on the basis of the principle for which
we have fought aud conquered-the principle
of liberty which forms its cornerstone.

How VESSELS ARE CLEARED AT THE Gus
TOM HOUSE, CHARLESTON Some curiosity ex-
lists as to the forms at present adopted at the
Charleston Custom House for clearing vessels
We have been shown the clearance papers of
a vessel just arrived from Charleston, which
throw some light upon this subject. The blank
forms supplied by the Treasury Department TO
use at Charleston. but the words :" in the
eighty-ffth year of the independence of the
United States of America" arc struck out
with dash of the Collectors pen, and in
their place are interlined with pen the words
" "eightyffth gear Of the sovereignty and inde-
pendence Of the State Of South Carolina ~
The clearance papers are signed by w. f. Col,
cock, Collector, and John Laurens, Naval or

ARKANsAs.-A Washington dispatch says
The news of the refusal of the Arkansas Sen
ate to pass Convention bill, produces pro-
found impression in secession as we'll as Union
circles Senator Rusk's previous letters pre-
pared him somewhat for this action, which is
here attributed to the Prciic Railroad bill
now before Congress, the road as proposed
posing through Arkansas 1t is the opinion
however, of we'll informed Southern gentlemen
that Arkansas cannot possibly stand against
the overwhelming secession sentiment prevail
ing in Mississippi and Louisiana.

THE CHARLESTON CrsroM HoUsE.-By ia
statistics accompanying the last report Of ID
Secretary of the Treasury, it appears that ID

the National Government more than $1,000
600, although it is still unfinished, and mor
than 100000 would be required to compe
it. This is one Of the buildings which the

movements, and the Palmetto flag now wsrs
over it in triumph.

The BATTLE OF NORRIS IsLAXD.-One is
really disposed to forget the serious aspect
of the affair, in reading the Charlestonian YER
sion of the firing into the Star of the Vest
The Courier gives solemn account of what
it calls the engagement" and describes the
heroic courage OF the men who manned the
battery upon Morris Island and fred seven
teen shots at an unarmed steiner. 1t is attempt
ing to create the impression that battle has
been fought, and that the South Carolinians
have won q signal victory. We may expect
to hear soon that medals have been struck for
the survivors, and that monument will be
raised to commemorate this great event in
the South Caronian war Of independence.

MAJOR ANDERSON DID IT THoRoUGHLY.-If
the truth must be told, the South Carolinians
cannot drill out the gnnS of Fort Moultrie
50 as to make them serviceable. Major An.
dersOn did his work so well. He not only
spiked the guns, but he plugged them up and
left their cavities filed with powder Now,
then, an explosion is certain, when the drills
coming in either direction, reaches the powder;
and daring rs the Secessionists are, they will
not risk or waste their precious lives in this
manner. So the only report likely to cone
from the guns is they are unservicable. Three
more for Ma jor Anderson.

We know Of a northern born and northern
raised lady, who married a southern planter,
and who, with her husband, make their abode
at a point lust back OF ? certain CITY on the
Mississippi river, not A hundred thousand
miles above New Orleans. This LADY has
never let an occasion slip on which sha could
abuse and yilify the Southern ConfeGeracy.
A short time since she was on a steamer going
up from New Orleans, and was, as usual,
wagging Der tongue at 2:40 rate against our
section. Among her auditory was a lady Of
the rue southern grit, who listened to the
barsngue, while her cheeks grew pale and red
by turns, and her teeth made deep insertions
in her coral lips. At last, when she could
stand it no longer, the southern mstron rose
from her seat, and walked over to where the
female speaker was letting of her abolition
gas, and, shaking her finger in that lsdy's
face, slowly and distinctly said:
"Madame, I have a husband, two sons ami
three brothers in the army of the Southern
Confsderacy. They are fighting for their
country, and If they are killed, they will die
like gallant men, and however great the loss
NAV be to me, ! shall have the consolation of
knowing they fell in a good cause. You are
a woman, and you talk as you do, because
You know that no southern gentleman will

The lsich mOuntaIn AFFAIR.

From the ". o. Detail
In the midst Of our rejoicing over vicroLles
gained elsewhere, let us not lose sight OF oJner
noble deeds, and fail in proper commentator
aud gratitude TO those gallant men Wuo' dI
Laurel Hill and Rich Mountain, held an over
vbeIming force of the enemy at bay Tor many
bonr=. and only succuLbed when all their ON
GERS we're shot dow at their guns.
These pslsnt men were all volunteers, men
Who had never before been under fire, but who
yUere fghting for their homes, for the honors
and freedom Of their country, and they noolY
sacrificed themselves in that cause. Ii Ma
nassas has proved our Marathon, let Rich
Mountain be regarded our Thermopy'G. The
heroism Of LeonIdas has had its parallel In
that OF Garrett, whileFthe high s~oldierly viz
tues Of BeauregaId displayed on the field Of
Manassas, have entitled him to the rank as
the Mittisdes of this war.
Let both be duly honored and applauded BY
an true patriots. Let the name Of the hero
who fell at his post, protec- ing the retreat Of
his little army, IS the heroic Nsy stood, as "the
rear guard" Of the grand ARM Of France, be
held in grateful esteem and be hOnOred as all
martyrs in d righteous cause are honored by a
brave Deople. No better soldier, no trUer pa
triot. no more heroic citizen, will fall in this
war than Robert S. Garrett. The most diff
cult and dangerous post in the war was con-
ndH1 70 UlU1. WIN uls eudi anu LcstHe u
ganized force, it was a despeTat task which
was imposed on him to arrest or check the ad-
vancing column Of the enteTprising officer who
led the invading hosts which had penetrated
Virginia and established Itself in a section dis
affected toward our cause.
The duty demanded d sacrifice, and that
sacrifice was freely made by the gallant Gar
nett. Il Is evident that the enemy, in claiming
an ingloTious victory, could not conceal bis
virtual defeat, in the sudden arrest Of bis on
ward and victorious march. The noble men
who fell at their guns at Rich MOuntain-the
heroic general who, with his face to the foe,
Welded up bis life to secure the safety Of bis
little f5rcc-ars the real v~iCtoTs, and their
names and deeds will be honored aRd applaud
ed in history when those Of the barbarian in
vaders are consigned to oblivion or to infamy.

"Virginia is first to be cleared of the confed-

ment Of Virginia, which b. already recognized
by congress, iE to be sustained. Operations to
this end are 2 ing on, and are to be prosecuted

the Insurgents on the Mississippi river, and
on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts,
In order to carry cut this game to a success

lose q single trick. At the outset, they have
lost. at least, TIVE very important ones, and
they must play the rest against a good hand
held by experienced players.
