Seccsslnn ninhn RnrY.

The seizing of vacant United States forts
and unguarded arsenals, was found to be
such light, genteel and easy employment
for the chivalry, that it might be expected it
would spread. But the principal effect of
taking vacant forts is to shut up their own
hnrbors. The United States Government
can stay out as long as thsy can afford to
have it,
The seizing of an empty fort where there
was nothing to risk, and some chance to
steal, hardly approaches sufficient import
ance to be regarded as a State act and so
far, these do not seem to be State acts. They
are demonstrations which any ra6ble of a
dozen or two, inspired by whisky, could ac-
complish. They are merely outbreaks of
the lawless materials which the general
breaking down of law in the South has
brought to the surface of society; and are
probably a mild diversion of the reign of
terror which they exercise over their own
people.
1t is easy to see, however, how easy this
might have been prevented by little firm
ness on the part of the Government. But of
course that could not be, when traitors in the
Cabinet were preparing these forts for seiz-
uTe. Secession has grown to what it is by
the weakness of the President in its early
stages, and the treason in the Cabinet, and
chiefly by the fatal policy of encouraging
actual rebellion by promising it conces-

Wisconsin LesisIature-GsvernO Rau-
dalps Message.

OnlPB meHSuHe'
MADISON, Wis, January 1O.-The Wiscon-
sin Legislature met and organized to-day.
Governor RandelPs Message was delivered
at noon. He commends the subject of mill
tary affairs to the wisdom and discretion of
the Legislature, and says the signs of the
times indicate that there may arise con-
tingency in the condition of the Government
when it will become necessary to respond to
call of the National Government for men
and means to maintain the integrity of the
Union and thwart the designs of men en-
gagged in organized treason.
On the subject of Secession, he says: "This
is not league of States, but government
of the people. The General Government
can not change the character ofa State Gov
ernment or usurp any power over it nor
can any State change the character of the
United States Government, restrict or in
crease its Jurisdiction, or impair any of its
rights.D
He argues that the election of Lincoln was
legal, and is no just cause for complaint
from any quarter. The Constitution makes
no man a slave. Slavery can not go into a
free territory under the Constitution, neither
can it exist outside of local law; therefore
the personal---very. laws are found, or should
be, upon the statute of every State. Every
human being has the right to legal test
whether he is free man or a slave. Should
the Legislature think the personal---very.
laws Of Wisconsin in conflict with the
United States Constitution, they should be
made TO conform Herewith; but no fear, no
hope of reward should induce free people
to break down the walls of their protection
We will make sacrifice of feeling to con-
ciliate, but no sacrifice of principles. The
right of State TO seeede can never be ad.
mitted. Once in the Union, State mus
remain until the Union is destroyed. The
message gives great satisfaction.

BAITIMoRs, January 10.-The Union
metting to night was immense aud enthusi-
astic, arc uucqualed by any demonstration
in Baltimore for many years. Not less than
10000 people were present and The parties
who attempted TO distutb the meeting by
disunion cries were hustled ont in double
quick time, amid cheers for the Union and
Major Anderson, and an immense cheering
for Governor Hicks
A proposition for cheers for Yancey caused
rush for the proposer that caused the po-
lice to protect the party from violence. The
Secessonists soon abandoned their purpose
of disturbing the meeting, and speeches
from ii. Collins, Reverdy johnson and A. w.
Bradford, ebounding in Union sentiments,
were listened TO aud applauded to the echo.
The resolutions embody the sentiments of
Wsshingtons Farewell Address, cohcluding
as follows
+ "Resolped: That the present condition Of
our country demands, from all who love her,
a spirit of fairness candor, conciliation, con-
eession, and self-sacriice and that we hail
with thankful and hopeful hearts the patri-
otic efforts now being made in Congress fora
settlement, as we trustforever, of the danger
Gus question at issue, on some constitutional,
just, and equitable principle, and that such
of our rstatesmen and States, whether of the
North OF the South, as may contribute most
place in the affections of the country, and
those who may refuse to lend their aid to
this holy purpose may justly expect, as they
will be sure to receive, the condemnation
and reprobation Of the present as well as
future ages.
"ResolUed, That various Northern States
have passed laws, usually called PERSONAL
liberty laws, which we believe to be in vio-
lation Of the Constitution of the United
States, of acts of Congress, passed pursuant
thereto, and with the sacred obligations
which those States owe to the common
country; and that we appeal to the constitu-
tional duty, patriotism, honor, Justice, and
the brotherhood of the people of these States,
respectively, TO repeal those laws, and by
every means in their power to put down the
aggressions of their people on the peculiar
institutions of the Southern States, as the
only way TO remove the well-foun6ed discon-
tent and complaints of their brethren of the
Southern States, and which, if not removed,
will prove fatal to our Union, as well as those
vital interests which ought to bind us TO-
gether as one people.

From Richmond.

RICHMOND, VA, January I0.-Governor
Letcher communicated to the Legislature
dispatch from the Mississippi Convention,
stating that Mississippi by nearly unani-
nous vote of her State, has seeded uncon-
ditionally from the Union, and is desirous on
the basis of the old Constitution to form a
new Union with the seeding States.
Mr.. Catcher's joint resolution, deprecating
the display Of military force against the
South, was taken up.
Mr. Thomas offered a substitute, recon-
mending Congress to repeal or suspend all
the laws constituting ports of entry, &c, and
that the President abstain from the exercise
of all powers calculated to jeopardize the
peace and quiet of the country in its present
excited condition. Laid on the table and
ordered to he printed.
Mr.. Stewart offered a resolution, request
ing the Governor, in case he shall be salts
fed of the purpose of any citizen of Vir-
ginia to engage in such lawless enterprise as
the seizure of the Federal property, and in-
vasion of the District of Columbia, &C., to
employ all the power with which he is in
vested, to prevent the same from being car
ried into effect Laid on the table, and Or
dered to be printed.
A bill was reported providing for State
Convention.
The following passed the House:

each of the Southern States to the end, if
possible, that peace may be preserved, that
they respectively and reciprocally eommu-
nicate their assurances in response,
Also that the status quo of all the Gov
ernments tending to collision, and concerning
the forts and arsenals OF the nation, should
on either hand be strictly maintained for the
present, except to repel actual aggressive
attempts; also that the Government COM
municate by telegraph Immediately these
resolutions to the President and Governors
of the Southern States. The news from
South Carolina was read and received with
loud cheering. One or two arrests were
made by the Sergeant-at arms. The Con-
vention Bill was debated, but no action has
yet been taken on it. The city is much ex-
cited

News from the Sent of NNnr.

Our city was thrown into what the ele-
rsnt Ma1talim would call "a demd state.
yesterday morning, by The announcement
on tie bulletn-boards at the newspaper
ofices, that the star Of tie West had been
fred on, in entering Charleston ha1bor with
troops for Fort Sumter, and had been driven
back. AS The telegraph from Charleston al
ways reports, after some gang of poor
whites bss managed to make raise for a
fresh Liprer Of turpentine whisky-"the
excitement is increasing There was a
running to and fro and knowledge was iu-
creased, thus wonderfully fulfilling the
Scriptures.
Major Anderson's flag Of truce to Charles
ton, wss generally held TO be a presentation
of his compliments, and request not to do
tlat again, or lie would be compelled to
open FIRE on Fort Moultrie, and perhaps on
the towr. Anxious inquiries were made
whether bis guns could reach Charleston, and
knowledge Of gunnery was in much de-
mand. To q philosophical mind, it was
rather interesting to observe the effect of
this news on the public. Coercion CRATES
harshly on the ears of our people, aud the
thought of shedding fraternal blood is ut
tcIly rcpugnsnt TO their feelings; yet if the
news had been followed by the intelligence
Hat Major Anderson had wiped out Fort
MoUltric, and had, by a few shells, brought
the town TO terms, our citizens would prob
ably have had 10 bold q mass meeting at
once and nominate him for the Presidency
in 1864, in order 70 give vent TO their feel
ings. Yet we are all opposed TO coercion,
ard especially to spillipg drop of fraternal
blood.
There is something queer in this. We
noticed 'he same singularity when the news
arrived that Major Anderson had transferred
his command TO Fort Sumter, and was then
fmpregHRble. We are all anti-coercionists,
and We know that the Union can not be kept
together by force; but every body rejoicod
at the movement of the gallant Major, aud
every body's confidence in the Union went
up about fifty per cent.
Yet Fort Sumter is not necessary to the
Government for purposes Of negotiation with
South Carolina, nor for concession, concilia-
ton and compromise. Therefore it could not
have beeu for these purposes that the people
applpuded Major Anderson. Nor is it neees-
sary that Ae should be re enforced for those
purposes.
The Star Of the West with 200 soldiers, is
not concession nor Cancellation. Yet our
people felt that Major Anderson would have
10 fire on Fort Moultrie and any thing else
South Carolinian within his reach, in order
to enforce the steamers entry to Fort Sum-
ter; and from the heavenly temper mani
tested yesterday, without distinction of
party, We rather think that intelligence that
he had done so, would be regarded as in the
right line of Cancellation and concession,
and not at all as coercion.

held as early as possible, which shall con-
Sder and agree upon a statement of griev-
ances and the manner of obtaining redress,
whether in the Union or out of it."
The above were referred to Committee of
Thirteen.
Mr. Baker offered resolution requesting

Il statement of the number of arms purchased
under the act Of the last Legislature, as well
as their character, description and price;
also, what other arms, &C., are under his
control
Mr.. Jamison moved an amendment, re-
QueStirg information as to the number of
companies and soldiers that had offered
their services to the Governor and been ac-
cepted.
The amendment was accepted, and the in
formation directed to be communicated to

Mr.. Yancey moved an amendment, asking
for information in regard TO the amount of
ordnance and ammunition owned by the
State, and the extent Of the Federal property
in Alabama, and what portion of it was
found at Fort Vernon and Fort Morgan.
Mr.. Jamison' resolutions were so amended,
and adopted.

il vas calculated to brilg their lacteal Sc
cretioDs into operation at once. They had
either to disown the firing into the Star of
the Fed which would be equivalent to a
back. down in their war demonstrations, or
to avow TIE act which is equivalent to a
declaration of war, and a commencement of
actual hostilities. In the latter case they
are probably aware that it puts on them the
oaus of beginning the war, and that Major
Anderson's position is such that he can
make them very unhappy.
He can blockade the harbor, cut off water
communications with Fort Moultrie and the
new batteries lombard Fort Moultrie at his
leigure and drop his shot into Charleston, if
il becomes necessary. IL is easy to see that
be can make the Charleston people very un-
comfortable, and that they will be under the
necessity Of taking Fort Sumter. 1t is not
to be supposed that the Empire of South
Carolina is going to stop her proud career
for fort with sixty or seventy men, and Of
course she will have to take it; but that is a
different job from making Secession speeches.
1t is even much more serious than to defy a
world in arms; which is about as small a
defiance as South Carolinisn ever talks Of
1t will be seen, however,th that Gov. Pickens
is plucby in the correspondence. AS this,
however, is South Carolina's strong point, it
could not be expected that she would fail in
that.
The status of affairs is, then, that the people
Of South Carolina have both declared war
and begun war against the United States
Government They have voluntarily as
sumed the guilt of rebellion, and have pro-
voked retaliation by the horrors of war. The
guilt is upon their own heads.

The Latest from ChnFleStOn-H the
NGVysOf the Sailing Of the Brooklyn was
ReceIyed-PrepnratiOn for Hostile
Reception.
CHARLESTON, January lO-Dispatches
stating that the United States slooD-of. war
Brooklyn is coming here with an armed
force, creates intense excitement. Great
preparations are being made in the harbor to
receive her.
A large steamer, called the Marion, of the
Charleston and New York line has been
purchased by South Carolina, and ordered
to be rugged for a man-of war. Her cabin
is 70 be taken off, and she is to be supplied
with complete armament. The buoys in
the harbor have been removed. The Brooklyn
will be fired into. Fort Sumter will then
open on the South Carolina Notifications,
and the fight will become general. The
people are preparing for it and for the worst.
The Brooklyn can not come in without a
great fight. Major Anderson will protect
her. He only pledged himself not to pre-
vent communication between the South
Carolina forts until Lieutenant Talbot came
back. A steam tug called the Aid, left the
wharf tonight, for the purpose of recon-
noitering. She is mounted with one gun,
and is under command of Lieutenant Ham
iltOn, formerly of the Federal Navy. There
is much talk Of sending to Savannah for
tug. boats to take the place Of gun. boats.
