LITTLE Rocx


 The ordinance of secession is still in the han of the Committee.
 Another ordinance, written by Judge Ha3ly, offered today.
 Thomasson's proposition to call a convention of all the States was discussed, but is generally regarded utterly futile
 Able secession speeches were made this after noon by Thomas Grace, Flannigan and others. A resolution offered declaring that ia view of the Union majority, nothing could be done that ought to be done; that the Convention was nuisance, and ought to be abated by an imme- diate adjournment sine de, and rendering the subject back to the people, who are now ready to secede by an overwhelming majority.
 Senator Johnson addressed a crowded audi ence in the Hall of Representatives this evening He counselled secession in the strongest terms, and made profound impression.
 The secession fever is evidently increasing throughout the State, and whether this Cony en tion passes the ordinance or not, the people will do it in thirty days.
 It is thought that the ordinance will pass. and be submitted to the ratification of the people
 LITTLE ROCK, March II. Various resolutions of little importance were offered to-day. Some speaking on the main ques- ton indulged in on both sides Nothing is expected of the Convention, and unless the peo- pie vote on the question again, Arkansas will not spaede
