it shall appear that a majority of the qualified
voters of the State have erted the Constitution,
then the Governor shall issue his proclamation de-
claring that fact, and shall notify the President of
the Confederate States that said Constitution has
been ratified by the people of the State Of Louis
lana. And in case of its rejection, then the Gov
ernor shall Immediately notify the President Of
this Convention of the fact and the President shall
call together this Convention at as early day as
practicable, with the view Of determining upon
the best course Of action for the future welfare Of
the State.
Mr.. Moore, of the Committee on Southern Con-

Confederacy, etc. he explaining that the resolu-

Convention had shown satisfactorily enough how
Louisiana stood in her relations to the Cenied-

submitted number of documents which had been
duly enrolled.
The Convention then, on motion, adjourned.

THOSE COMMITTEES.

We referred yesterday to the composition Of the
Comrnittees in the Senate Of the United States, and
the way in which the Southern Senators were al
together ignored in The chairmanshps. Further
inspection Of them shows that a new rule has been
adopted, whereby all the Black Republican
Soma tors are nut first on the Committees, end the
OpDosition Senators last--the latter, Of course,
being always in the minority. Individual cases OF
meanness are also visible in the constitution OF
nearly every Committee. Thus, Senator Hunter Of
Virginia. who has been chairman Of the Finance
Committee for eight or ton years, and universally
admitted to be Que Of The most efficient charmen
in the Senate is degraded to the position Of fifth
IN the iist~-aud as if to make the insult still more
patent. Powell of Kentucky, a gentleman, but u
new Senator, is placed ahead of him. Breckenridge
who las for four years occupied the second office
of the Nation s placed on two Committees, but
made the last man on each. Virginia. for the first
time we expect since the organization Of the
Government, is not represented on the Committee
on the District Of Columbia at all, though she lies
alongside of il. We do not sec Ma9on's name
upon any Committee whatever. There are other
csse3 Of insult and meapness, The former Black
Republican Speaker of the House, N. p. Banks,
had the decency to make Gen. Quitman chairman
of the Military Committee, but the Black Republi-
rams of the Senate have carried proscrp ption
farther than we have. ever before known. This may
be regarded as a small matter, but it is large
enough to show the spirit Of Abolltionism, and
what it wonld do il ii had the whole South in its
clutches,

MILITARY RESOURCES oFTHE SOUTH
The New York Herald Of the 8th inst. has the
following remarks concerning the military re-
sources Of the Southern States:
An erroneous idea generally prevails at the
North that the new Conederacy, in preparing for
military defence, will experience some difficulty in
procuring q supply Of artillery stores and muni-
tions of war. For the information Of that class TO
whom we refer, we say that the Anderson iron
m works, near Richmond, Va, are WORKING their fur.

columbiaoa of the heaviest calibre and exquisite
finish Several of these guns and five ten-inch
mortars have already been forwarded to Charles
ton, and before this are in battery, ready to parcl
pate ii the bomhardnent OF Fort sumter. Inc
Iredtgar iron works, near richmond, are also
busiiy employed in casting hollow shot and shell.
Several tons have already been forwarded to
Charleston. The machine shop Of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad, near Newbern, n. c.,
has been transformed into military arsenal, where
several hundred hands are now employed IN alter
ing muskets and casting shot and shell. The alter
a0ns Of the old style musket to the Mimic style,
compared with similar alterations in this State,
give the superiority to the former in every respect
The samples Of shot recently exhibited included Il
siXty-fOur-pounder and six-pounder, and forty
pound shells. The casting was taultleSs Inc rail-

biads, concluded to try one"of them and see how
they fired. Accordingly, he belched forth one of
those fronting Fort Pckens which shook every

that fort was manned Col. Forney was astonished
at hearing the gun from Fort McRea during hours,

what was the matter, but found nothing hurt

The crew of that vessel is composed almost en-
tirely of aholitionisis, and have become very OBJ

treat respectfully those who were kind enough to
honor them with visit.
The ladies of the Military Aid Society here are
daily engaged in their patriotic work Of making
cartridges and the exhibition of patriotism is
manifested even in the little girls, two Of whom
