By YESTERDAY EVENINGS MAIL

MILLEpeEy1LLE, Jan. 21.-In the Con
vention to-day, the following preamble
and resolution, written by Hon. A. H..
Stephens and Judge Linton Stephens, and
presented by Judge Ncsbit, was adopted,
as follows:
Whereas, from lack Of unanimity in ac-
ton, this Convention, on the passage OF
the Ordinance Of Secession, indicates Il
difference of opinion amongst the mcm-
hers of the Convention, not so much as to
the rights which Georgia claims, or the
wrongs of which she complains, as to the
remedy and its application, before resort
inc to other means Of redress; and where
as, it is desirable to give expression to that
intention which really exists among all
the members Of the Convention, to sustain
the State in the course Of action which she
has pronounced to be proper for the occa-
sion, therefore, be it
Resozred, That all the members Of the
Convention, including those who voted
against the Ordinance Of Secession rs we'll
as those who voted for it, will sign the
same as pledge of the unanimous de-
termination of the Convention to sustain
and defend the State in this her course
and remedy, with all its responsibilities
and consequences, and without regard to
individual approval or disapproval of its
adoption.
The Ordinance was signed by all ex-
cept about a dozen Of the delegates, who,
it is believed, will sign it tomorrow. a.
H. Stephens, Linton Stephens, ES-Gov.
Johnson, and other gentlemen who were
associated with them in action, signed the
Ordinance The demonstration tonight
will be'on grand scale.

met he clearly has none. That Govern
met has broken its faith with us, and we
car never, nerer rely upon it again. 1t
has basely trined with our good faith, and
wecan neither forget nor forgive it. 1t
has broken It's faith with its own Cabinet
Officers. and no thanks TO it, but thanks
to cur own true guns, the Star Of tie West
could not consummate the treachery.
AS an individual officer of the U. S. Az
my, he has no claim upon us for his sup
Pills. On the contrary, he has dcibor-
atey forfeited any he may have had Ac-
corc;ngly to his own statement he, apo"
his Osn responsibility (and. without any ne
ccssiv), shut himself up in Fort Sumter,
after wanton destruction and abandon
mcnt 6 the very property his Government
seems 20 solicitous to protect. AS long
as he Was at Fort Moultlic his supplies
were ulfnterrupted-and why? Because
he did not occupy 4 hostile attitude: but
preserved the statns which his Govern
mcnt was pledged to preserve. Such is
not his petition now.
His evacuation Of Fort Monltric, and
the attendant circumstances, has been ap-
proved by Buchanan. Scott, valiant to
the last, longs to see the red blood flow,
and Congress clamors for coercion. The
olive branch las been disdained and cast
aside, and Anderson cap be viewed in no
other light than that of an officer of a hos
tile Governmcn5. What is his actual po-
sition? Is there point within range i'll
this halbor upon which his guns do not
bear? Is there Il fort, brcastworll or po-
sition upon which they do not frown !?
What has busted him since his possession
of Fort Sumter? Preparations Of q most
hostile and threatening nature. AT one
time he actually threatened cur Govern
mcnt with his batteries if we dared TO fire
upon another Str Of the Vest. Are all
these things to be forgotten Is this ac
tual state of things to be overlooked mere
Iy to crafty a few politicians in Washing
ton, who wish to sec Anderson and his
men as comfortable as Federal gold can
make them? In Gods name, Mr.. Editor
we trust not.
Sir, let us begin with furnishing the
Major with q choice surlpiu then = haunch
and pair Of turkey from thevcry swamps
in which Marion was content with dry
potatoes; indeed, give him every facili-
ty," and you will soon hear of Mr. Colcc-
tor Mcintyre being handsomely enter-
tancd at Fort Sumtcr; or, perhaps, even
more startling news may reach US of his
Supremacy Lieutenant General Winfield
Scott taking "a hasty plate OF soup" on
the ramparts.
Seriously, Mr. Editor we trust that no
representations, however strong. Will in
ducc the authorities of this State to afford
any facilities to troops who are kept in
our harbor for no peaceful purpose. Rath-
CT let It be treason e give them aid and
comfort. They arc soldiers; let them be
content with soldiers fare. Give them
hot steaks to-day, and tomorrow they
will give you hot shot with less compunc-
ton. We arc told TO pray for our cne-
mics, and all good people do, BUTT is only
the foolish WHO feed them.

WASHINGTON, January 2l.-Thc Ala
bama Delegation will leave this evening,
having presented the following letter OF
withdrawal to the Speaker Of the House:
Having received information that Al
ALBANIA, through the Convention repre-
senting her sovereignty, has adopted and
ratified the Ordinance Of Secession, BY
which she withdraws from the Union
known as the United States of America,
and resumes the powers heretofore dele
gated to the Federal Government, we
deem it proper that we should communi-
cate the same to you, and through you to
the House of Representatives, over which
you preside, and announce our withdraw
al from the further deliberations of the
body. Causes, in the judgment Of the
State, render such action necessary. We
need not relate them. 1t is sufficient to
say, duty requires our obedience to her
sovereign will, and that we shall return
return to our homes and sustain her pco-
pie"
Signed by TIE whole delegation from
Alabama.

The Congressional Delegation from
Georgia will remain, and await the reccp-
ton of certified copy Of the Ordinance

To the Editor Of the Charleston Nercn,y

To the Editor Of the Charleston Kercnry
We find the following among the tcc-
grams in this mornings papers, and, when
viewed in connection, we think there is
something decidedly cool in the advice
that the garrison at Fort Sumter should
be allowed "cvery facility for marketing
and other domestic supplies"
Major Anderson is ordered ''to defend
Fort Sumter and protect all government
property. The Administration has con-
cluded to send no reinforccments, and the
g,xsent status is TO be maintained. Mat
ters are to be Just cs they non'stand 9
The troops will not be withdrawn from
Sumter, and the post is ordered to be de-
Tended"
Again: "It is believed that strong rep
reservations have been made within the
past few days. urging the authorities Of
South Carolina to afford Major Anderson
every facility for marketing and other do
mestic supplies" &C., &C.
Now, sir, since matters at Fort Sumter
are to be 'just as they now stand" we
hope matters here relating to our market
and Major Andcrsons domestic supplies
arc to pc likewise '.just as they now stand
The question is cvident-why should the
authorities of this State change their rcla-
ton with Anderson, when the pcrjucd
Government he serves will not change its
relation with this Statc?-will noVeven
recoqnized our Commissioners IS it be-
cause few Southern politicians in Wash
inoton advise it? The less we have to do
with Washington the better; and we sim
cerelv trust that no more Commissioners
are to be sent there to breathe it's noxious
. atmosphere. Let any intelligent and can
did man review the whole course Of the
Federal Government towards this State,
and towards our Commissioners; let him
read the published correspondence and the
forcible comments of your correspondent
uGeorgia," and tell us what claim Major
Anderson has upon the good people OF
this State for his marketing and domestic
supplies.
