The MssT IMPORTANT MOVEMENT OF THE SEs-
SION was made to-day by Mr.. CritteDden, in the
shape Of submitting preamble and joint resolu-
tions for the action Of Congress, as follows:
Where's, the Union being in danger, and It
being dimcult, IL not impossible, for Congress to
concur by the requisite majority to enable it
10 take such measures to recommend to the States
such amendments to the Constitution as NAV be
necessary 10 avert the danger; and whereas In SO
the people ought to be heard: Therefore,
ResoIred, That provision be made by law with
out delay, for taking the sense Of the people and
submitting the following resolution 1.-THE now
weil-known Crittenden resolution-Ep / as a basis
for the nnal settlement by the states OF the dis
pute that now disturbs the country aud threatens
the existence Of the Union.

REVOLUTION IN GEORGIA following dis
patch reached us last evening:
"The State troops Of Georgia now occupy forts
Pulaski and Jackson, and the U. ,. Arsenal al
Savannah"
We have to say, that yesterday morning we were
Informed that the leaders In the current revolu-
tionary movement had decreed that in the course
Of that day yesterday all the Notifications OF the
United States in the south should be taken pos
session of by armed mobs This dispatch con-
firms the truth Of that design On their part. The
telegraph will shortly inform rs where else they
may have successfully carried out the plan We
submit that such action out Of South Carolina
(Which is the only State that sets up the pretense
Of having seceded) 10 neither more nor less than
naked revolution-the voluntary Inauguration Of
civil war on the part OK the disunionists per Sc.
That the disunionists per Sc were known to con-
template the seizure Of the L. 3. Notifications In
States that have not pretended to have seeded,
meaning as II does that they have usurped the
Government there without awaiting the action Of
State Conventions upon their schemes, explains
why the working classes Of citizens In Louisville,
KY, have been called OH to band themselves so
significantly against the plots Of those who would
deprive their families Of bread, and reduce them
to the condition Of common soldiers in a time of
profound peace and universal prosperity, without
the slightest shadow Of lawful right to do SO.
These lawless, desperate and over-ambitious men
are, indeed, working evils for the people Of the
South, for which, sooner later, they will be
held to awful responsibility by those with
whose lives, bread and property they thus seek to
play with, az at other times they play with cards
at the poker table.

CHEAP MANUFACTURES OF HEROES Bal
timore Sun seems disposed to give the mechanics
and labOrers who have just returned to Baltimore
from Fort Sumter, credit for feeling Of a rather
more exalted character than the facts would Sc m
to justify. The Sun says:
g They state that II was intimated to them that
IL the fort was attacked they would be expected
II ASST In its defense, and as they sympathized
with the South In the crisis, concluded to leave
forthwith"
In the Star Of the 9th ult. we published letter
written by one Of the party engaged upon the
work at Fort Sumter, to his mother in this CITY,
by which It will be that the indisposition Of
the Baltimore party to fght, even at that date,
(Dec 49, was general one, ''high above party
Hnes' and that their i'big search was the subject
Of no little merrment on the part of their com
rades, as the following extract will show:
"There are great many of the men who came
with us from Baltimore here that would i've any-
ming TO be home once more. They are very much
frightened for fear they will have 10 fight as there
10 so much talk Of a civil war between the North
and South. A. and myself plague them almost 70
death. They are all well who came with ms:

MANUFAcTURINe CAPITAL FOR DIsUNIoN On
the morning after the election Of delegates to the
Alabama State Convention to assemble on the 9TH
inst the telegraph assured the public that the i'm
mediate secessionists had carried the State by an
overwhelming majoritY-at least 300O0-of the
popular vote. II now turns out that the anti-im-
mediate secessionists claim majority Of from ten
10 fifteen of the Convention. Their strength lays
In the populous countless in the northern section Of
the State, where the proportion Of negroes to
whites Is far smaller than where the disunionists
per control popular sentiment. So ii is already
clear to US that when an honest expose of the re-
suit of that election is before the public IL will be
found that the majority vote OF that State Is against
and not for the destruction Of all southern property
and prosperity In furtherance Of the settled plan
Of the disuniOnists par that has been In course
Of being worked out step by STEP for the last four
wears.
