IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON

IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON CITY.
WASHINGTON, Feb S.-The day appears to be
dawning when the rights of the South are about to
be indicated by her decision and firmness. The
vital interests of the North have been touched, and
her moneyed men evnce remarkably earnest dis
position to give any guarantees required for the per-
manency of the Union
Virginian of high reputation remarked tonight
that Mr.. Astor, of New York, told him he would
give million of dollars if necessary to that end
The most astute Republican members begin to see
that unless they satisfy the demands of the capt.
talists the government will be without resources.
Mr. Kellogg's speech to-day fell like bombshell
in the House, causing CONSERVATION nj the Repub-
lican ranks.
The Peace Conference is still earnestly engaged in
the consideration Of plan of adjustment, and the
delegates hourly grow more hopeful. A patriotic
spirit prevails Notwithstanding all this, no one
has been yet able to define the magic plan which is
to restore peace. But "where there's Will there's
a way" and it is very evident that the twill is
not wanting now among the leading politicians and
monied men of the North. Let Virginia remain
firm, and "takc no steps backward" till this new
inspiration assumes definite and satisfactory form.

A SHARP TRANsACrIoN-Georgia has got the bet
ter of her sister, South Carolina in the secession
business. Instead of ordaining the abrogation of
the Federal revenue laws when she went out o. the
Union, (?) as South Carolina did, she agreed 70 OBJ
serve them faithfully until otherwise ordered. The
consequence is that Savannah is doing lively and
prosperous trade receiving and selling goods, ship
ping cotton, and clearing vessels as usual in the
name of the United States, while Charleston is
Stunned by commerce as the seat of pestilence
No foreign vessel will dare to clear from Charleston
with papers signed in the name of the ind ependent
State Of South Carolina; nor will vessels go into
that port for fear of being seized and pressed into
the service of the State New beginners seldom do
thing right the first time. South Carolina tum-
bled into secession in the most awkward way i'm
aginable 1t was new business, and she wasn't use
10 it. Georgia is just much out of the Union as
her impetuous sister but she retains all the prac-
tical advantages of a connection with the Union,
while South Carolina in her folly, has sacrificed
them. --Richmond Wing.

The Mass Meeting on SATURDAY Last

We invite attention to the proceedings of the
Union meeting held in this City on Saturday last
This of the largest meetings held in the
County. The people were here in large numbers,
and the people had their own way in the meeting.
The vote was by ballot and every voted for the
men he preferred There were no committees to
nominate, and no electioneering for nominations
The people from all parts of the County without re-
gard to party nominated and the people without re-
gard to party will elect the ticket
The speech of Mr.. Badger on the occasion, accept
ing the nomination one of the ablest and most
interesting we have ever heard. helsrge audience
testified their approval of its sentiments by frequent
and hearty applause
Mr.. Busbee spoke briefly, owing to the lateness Of
the hour but he will be heard from at length during
the campaign.
We refer our readers, especially those of them in
Wake County, to the resolutions adopted by the
meeting. They contain the true Constitutional
Union doctrine They neither dsunion nor sub
mission We believe the people of Wake County
will endorse them at the polls by an i amense ma

CHATTANOOGA, Feb. IL, 1861.
Tennessee has gone for the Union by popular
majority of fifty thousand The people have re-
fused to call Convention.
The people of that State voted on Saturday last
for delegates to Convention, and also for and
against Convention. 1t seems that they have elect

No Convention will, therefore, be held.
Virginia spoke first for the Union. Tennessee
has spoken for it also, in eIecting Union dele
gates; and North Carolina will utter similar voice
on the 2Sth.
All hail to Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and

THE PEACE CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Peace Congress are
progressing very leisurely with their labors. They
however, assembled at ten o'clock this morning.
and after remaining in session two hours proceeded
shortly after twelve o'clock, in body, to pay a
complimentary visit to the President of the United
States. On arriving at the Presidential mansion
they were conducted to the East Room, where they
were introduced to the Chief Magistrate of the
ton by Mr.. Tyler the President of the Convention.
The interview rather of personal than official
character, and there was no expression Of opinion
either Sde as to the position of national affairs.
They returned to Wizards about one O'clock and
subsequently paid visit to the Capitol
Great is taken to keep their proceedings from
the public the desire being to prevent the Congress
sional meddlers at the other end of the Avenue from
exercising any influence their deliberations
1t is however, said that Governor Chase of Ohio,
who has been deemed one of the most impracticable
members has, since his emphatic remark congratu
la6ng President Tyler, promising " to follow where
Virginia leads" made speech Of the most marked
conservative character.
The rules of the Convention which adopted the
Constitution of the United States have been adopted
for the government of the Peace Congress They
are very rigid and formal Members are precluded
from reading newspapers pamphlets, or crossing
the hall whilst any is speaking, and all rise
when the President passes out
The President has somewhat rereated from the
position assumed protecting the public property"
ana now rejects the demand OF SouthCarolna on
the ground that the Federal Government has exclu-
sive jurisdiction in Fort Sumter
As to selling Fort Sumter to the State of South
Carolina, suggested by Col. Hayne, the President
says he could sell Fort Sumter to that State
than he could sell the Capitol of the United States
to the State of Maryland. He concludes his reply
with the following emphatic declaration:
eff, with all the multiplied proofs which exist of
the Presidents anxiety for peace and of the earn
estness with which he has pursued it, the author
tiles of South Carolina shall assault Fort Stunt ter
and peril the lives of the brave and loyal shut
up within its walls and thus plunge our common
country into the horrors of civil war, then upon
them, and those whom they represent will rest the
reSponsibility"

Senator Crittenden on the Prospect

SENATE, Jan. %, 1s6l.-My Dear Coombs: l
feel under many obligations to you for your many
letters, and beg that you will continue the CORE
spondence, notwithstanding omissions. What
with business, consultations, and unavoidable COM
pany, have in truth hardly time to write line to
the best friends, or even to draw free breath
Your letters have freshness about them that makes
me feel and see the things you tell me. All things
here are in chaos and darkness, yet have every
confidence that though my resolutions may not pass,
they will be the root out of which settlement will
grow.
The news from Frankfort is that you will not call
a Convention. l am glad of it There is no cause
why we should hasten out of the Union at this time
and, unless that is intended, do not know what we
want with Convention. Preparations made often
induce US to do things from which more considera-
ton would have restrained us. Old Kentucky has
too much dignity and history to be drifed about by
every changing tide in politics. Her movements in
the present crisis ought to be well measured well con-
sidered, and marked with steadfast manliness. We
ought to see clearly what to gain by disunion
before We abandon Union in which we have en-
joyed much liberty, so rhuch prosperity, and so
many blessings write in haste and must conclude.
Your friend, j. j. CRITTENDEN.
GENERAL L. CooMBs.

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE WHAT CONCERNS


Shortly after leaving Augusta, Ca, last Christmas
day. fell into conversation with intelligent farm
er of South-CarOina, who was returning home with
his slaves from their work near Savannah. Of
course the troubles and movements of the day furn
ished the main topics for remark. Considering the
circumstances of time and place. | was very much
struck by the earneStneSS with which my compan-
ion uttered the following sentiments:
"Sir, these discussions between the North and
the South, about slavery and trade and all that
Germ the people of our States. They and they only
ought to settle them, and if the politicians will let
us alone, will settle them, no doubt wisely, any
how satisfactorily to ourselves and if the people
satisfied no one has right to grumble. But when
they begin to consider these questions the politi
clans raise such fuss that we can not hear any
thing Alright and they kick up such dust that we
can not see Alright One tells us to come his way,
and another tells us to go his way, and another a.
loos at US to believe what he says and another cries
out the truth is all his side. So the people are
blinded and deafened and confused and they do not
know what to say or do Now if these politicians
would let the people have time to get the noise out
of their and the dust out of their eyes, that
the people quietly think of what is before them,
the people will get out of the troubles which reck
less politicians have got us into"
Now, Mr.. Editor, how many other intelligent
farmers in South Carolina would have been glad Of
a chance to consider and decide about the doings
of their late Convention without being hectored for
their decision The people of North Carolina owe
you and your colaborers debt of gratitude in that
they have chance to review the acts of their repre-
sentatives in Convention, and that with some
time wherein the dust can be wiped out of their eyes
and the din be hushed in their ears.

Lulportnnt from the South.

CHARLESTON, Feb. 9.-Gov. Brown, of Georgia,
seized at Savannah yesterday five vessels owned in
New York, consisting of the briggs W. R. Kibby and
Golden Lead, barques D. Calden Murray and Ad-
iuster, and the schooner Julia A. Haock. Gov.
Browns order was executed by Col. Lawton's mill
tary The order reads thus:
ITO Col. Lawton: Order out sufficient military
force and seize and hold, subject to my order every
ship in the harbor Savannah belonging to the cti-
zens of the State of New York. When the property
of which our citizens have been robbed is returned,
the ships will be delivered to the citizens of New
York who own them"
The Georgia property has been restored by New
York, and of course the ships will be released.
