SECOND DESPATCH
PROBABILITY OF THE IMMEDIATE PASSAGE or THE sB-
CEssGON ORDINANCE.
MONTGOMERY, IAN. 1O.-It is understood that the
Committee of Thirteen reported an ordinance Of
secession to the Convention, in secret session, this
morning. that it will be debated and perhaps adopt
ed to-day. 1t is also understood that minority
report will be presented. The majority report is
for prompt secession, and requests a convention of
delegates from all Southern States, to be held at
Montgomery oorly in February. 1t ie believed
that the majority report will be adopted by about
twenty majority. Some of the prominent co-ope-
ratlonlsts will, in the event of secession, take a
prominent stand in defence of the position which
the State assumes
1t is reported here, on what is deemed reliable
authority, that Florida will pass secession ordi-
nance to day.
SALUTE IN HONOR OF MISSISSIPPI.
AUGUSTA, Jan. 10.-A salute of one hundred guns
was fired here to-day in honor of the passage Of the
ordinance of secession of Mississippi.

VOICE OF KENTUCKY.
The following is the position taken by the Louis
vile Journol Of the sth instant. 1t will appeal very
strongly to the sentiments of the people of Mary
land:
A mighty republic is at this moment reeling upon
the brink of destruction. The wild and ultra por-
tions of the North and South are in the derium of
fever aud know not what they are doing. The
miasm of forty Yeas ISLANDERS and sectional misre
presentation has filled and corrupted the life blood
of the nation. If blood must be shed to aIlay this
fever, bleeding will be etfectual which does no
bring the patient to the very verge of deat tn. Time
~ pacifcation or universal ruin and desoation is
the alternative before
But who can command the peace, and whose word
will be needed while the rifle and the bayonet are
passing into the hands of. angry men? Let Ken
tucky speak, and she will be heard respectfully,
alike by the North and the South. Now, as in
1882, it devOlves upon Kentucky to shield the peO-
pie OF South Carolina from the penalty which they
have madiy provoked, and thereby save the ma
ton from the utter desolation of civil war; De-
serted by of her sister States in the hour of
peril, Kentucky must their retreat, and thus
protect both North and South from calamites
which transcend all calculation. She must say in
tones of thunder that shall not be declared be-
tween the conservatives who would save the Union
and the secesSiOnsts who endeavoTing all rash
ly and unwisely to preserve their independence
from apprehended dangers
More especially should Kentucky address the
DDrHpr WI thn nTpCS 1r into
in the question of peace or To Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri, disso-
luton along the line involves civil war and desola
ton. To New Jersey, PENNSYLVANIA, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, there is nothing but ruin in the pros
pect of such a dissoluton-wide-spread and total
financial run-wholesale slaughter and endless
debts to crush their progress for the remainder of
the century.
Ii these twelve States-the heart and body of the
UniOn-are faithful, patriotic and firm, why should
they allow themselves to be involved in the war
like excitement Of the extreme North and
South?
Should they not at once come to a full underz
standing with each other, review and perfect the
compromises of the Union in friendly discussion,
and resolve that come what NAV, the Union, so far
as they are concerned, shall not be broken, or
weakened-but that if the centrifugal force shall
carry off the outside States, the great central body
shall stand in adamaLtine strength and extend the
olive branch in either hand to the separated frap-
ments of the Union?
We say then that the great duty of Kentuckians
to-day, while sister States of the South are pro-
baby flying from the field and leaving the border
States alone is to send forth words of kindly greet
ing along the border line to all who are willing to
stand by the Constitution, and assure our sister
States that Kentucky will never forget the words
Omitted we stand"

learn that their constituents are strong for
the Union, while at the same time many desire a
Convention to be called constitutionay, and after
due time has been given to the people to choose the
proper men to compose the Convention. The peO-
pie wish to take this subject out of the hands and
