The address which the Virginia members
of Congress sent out TO their constituents will
probably have the effect intended, that OF
precipitating that state into the arms Of the
seceders.
Mr.. Leake, Of Virginia, in his speech in the
House, this afternoon, said all he could in
confirmation Of this intention, and anticipa-
ted that his state would be out Of the Union

THE AUGUSTA ARSENAL.

The arsenal at Augusta, Georgia, surren-
dered to the State troops, was until October
last under the sole charge of DR.. J. n. Gait,
who has been twelve years in the service,
and guard of nine men.
On account of the impending troubles,
Mayor BlOdgett, of Augusta, with the advice
of the City Council, wrote to the then Secre-
tary Of War, Gen. Floyd, and stated that the
local authorities would not be held respons-
ible for the government property there unless
there was a reinforcement OF United States
troops Accordingly Company e, Captain
Arnold Ely, then stationed at Font Smith,
was ordered to repair to the Arsenal, which
was occupied by that corps in the latter part
OF October, who held it until the surrender,
as just trepOr'ed.
The property is one of the best held by the
government in the interior of any Southern
State. The grounds comprise some seventy
acres of the most eligible and valuable land
in the vicirity of Augusta. The buildings
are mostly Of brick, large and commodious,
and the barracks are in fine order for the ac-
cOmmOdation OF troops. The parade ground
is only equalled on this continent by the
Champ de Mars at Montreal, and is hanked
by fine groves of trees. There were on the
premises in October a full battery of four
pieces, six and twelve Founders, which in
1850 was part OF Major Ronalds command,
Company L of the artillery. There were also
twenty thousand muskets and two thousand
rifles. The muskets were made in 1922, flint
locks, and altered in Is4O to percussion. The
rifles are designed for the MIME ball, and are
in good order.
The place was bought for the United States
in 1924, by Captain Payne. 1t was then the
property of Col. Henry Walker, gentleman
distinguished for political and military SER
vice in Georgia

unionists

We have received several communications
taking ground against our remarks, day or
two since, upon Wendell Phillips late
speech, in which he denounced the Union,
and hailed South Carolina as the hrst State
that had the courage to dare do right. We
quoted from the speech to show that the Re
publicans could not be charged with fellow
ship with Abolitionists, following the lead Of
Mr. Phillips. At the same time, it's but
right to say that there are two classes of Alb.
oiitionists-the disunion or Garrisonian Alb.
oIitionists, and those whose creed does not
demand Of them an unconditional onslaught
upon the Constitution and the Union, butwhO
pray for the speedy abolition Of slavery, 5y
any lawful means. OF the former class Wen
dell Phillips stands at the head the latter
includes very many Republicans, and even
many shareholders, who desire to be rid Of
the curse that IS resting upon the Southern
portion Of our country. All AbOlitiOnists
should not be held responsible for the dis
union sentiments of Wendell Phillips, any
more taan all shareholders for those Of Yam
cey and Toombs

THE EMBLEMs AT YALE.-Some of the Yale
students, about week ago, caused several
large secession cockades to be displayed about
the College in positions more conspicuous
than honorable. On Sunday morning last the
Southern students retaliated by raising
Palmetto flag on one Of the towers of Alumni
Hail and .barrieading the entrance. The
reasonable emblem caused considerable ex-
citement. The tower was speedily carried by
assault and the flag pulled down and torn
into fragments.

secer.iop In California.

The lively correspondent of the New York
Times, who writes from California, thus de-
scribes the reception Of secession news there:
@The secession news is eagerly devoured, Of
course, but it would be straining point to
say thatit crates any excitement. We shall
MI be as sorry to part with South Carolina as
a man is to lose big molar, rotten at the
root vet into which his dentist has thrust and
packed a mint Of gold-mighty sorry to part
with a member that has cost him so much,
and besides, be takes a pleasure in showing a
perfect unbroken set. But if it will grumble
night and day, its room will be more accepta-
bic than It's company. l have hunted in vain
for she first Republican who hopes that Lin
coin will set his flag an inch lower than the
level of the Chicago platform. As TO Pa
ci6c Republic, we are as innocent Of any
such reasonable thought as the regenerated
State, with its hands newly washed, is Of the
sin Of Dr.. Gwin's presence in the Senate.
We have no grievance -nothing but little
State repentance to do. Give US q railroad,
make Schuyler Colfax PostmasteT-GenerAl,
and we shall be az grateful, as happy and as
proud as a boy with two pockets in his first
pair OF breeehes."

UniveraaI WHINE suffrage 20 be Abolished
The Southern Literary Messenger for jan
uary, published at Richmond, in Virginia,
has just been revealing some of the purposes
ofthe slavehOlder rebels, in breaking up the
Union. One Of them, and the main one, is
% abolish universal white suffrage It de-
clares the experiment Of Republican Gov
ernment, based upon the universal suffrage Of
the white man, to be a disgracefal failure
and openly avows the design Of the rebels tp
be to create a Southern Republic, upon .
white suhrage limited to men Of sufficient
property for annual Subsistence upon usu-
fructi In other words, the policy OF these
rebels is, to reduce society in the Slave states
to the feuda1 condition again, with African
Slavery for its basis, and to adopt such legis-
lation as will compel the poor white man to
emigrate, and to confne the dominant class
to the fsEcst possible numbers. This is bnt
a natural sequence of the policy of the dis
unionists rU-

The position Of Kentucky in the crisis is
looked for with much interest especially to
Ohioans. The present condition Of political
matters in the Legislature is as follows:
On the 2Ist inst Nr, Leach, Breekinridge
Democrat offered the ALLOWING resolution in
the House Of Representatives:
Rssclusd, That the Committee on Federal
Relations be instructed TO report a bill pro-
viding for the election Of delegates to a State
Convention, to be convened in Frankfort on
the - day OF February, 1861, 10 take into
consideration the interests of Kentucky in
the present crisis, and to determine what
measures of redress Kentucky viii demand,
aud what position she will occupy in the
event that no honorable and satisfactory ad-
iustment of Ofexisting difficulties can be effected,
said Convention bill to provide that the ac-
ton Of the Convention to be elected under its
provisions shall be submitted to the legal
voters of the Commonwealth for their ratii-
cation or rejection.
Mr.. Massie, anti-secessionist, moved to lay
the resolution on the table, and the motion
was sdopted-Yeas 81, nays 36.
Mr.. Hill then offered the following reso-
luton:
Rssolped, That the Committee on Federal
Relations be instructed to inquire whether
the present posture Of Kentucky, and the
necessities of her condition, does not demand
that the voice of her people shall be heard
Immediately, and tor that purpose to report a
plan for calling Convention, either by bill
or resolution, as by them may be deemed
most appropriate. m
This was referred to the Committee on
Federal Relations and subsequently, the Leg
islature refused to call a Convention. Gov.
MagOfin on Friday last communicated to the
Legislature the Virginia resolutions.
