SLEIGH RIDEs.-A party of over thirty complies from
Dummerston, passed through this village Tuesday
OF last week, bound for sleghrde, to Burrows and
dance. We have sufficient authority for saying that
in all the departments of their entertainment they
were more than satisfied From the tinkle of the
bells "ayont the small hours it is inferred that their
host did not strive hard ITO speed the parting guest
party of sixteen couples of young people took a

GEORGIA SECEDED-4aT heGeorgia convention
passed the secession ordinance on Saturday.
The ordinance follows nearly the language used
by other states. 1t declares that the ratification
OF the U. 5. constitution in 1885, by Georgia,
and all subsequent acts of the legislature rela-
tive thereto, are abrogated; also that the Union
between Geor ia and the other states is dissolv-
ed, and Georgia is in the full possession of all
inc rights and sovereignty that appertain to in
dependent states. This was carried by 20S
against 80, which is more than the strict party
vote OF l65 to 1870. A motion to postpone the
OPERATION OF the ordinance to the Sd OF March
was iDst ny thirty majority. Alex. II. Stephens
aiu iielscnei V. Johnson were among those
VINO voted against the ordinance. A resolution
was adopted to continue the present nostai and
revenue system until otherwise ordered also
TO continue all civil officers of the federal gov
eminent Benz. II. Hill (Union) introduced n
| substitute for the ordinance which was Lost
He subsequently voted for the ordinance. saw
ing that as Georgia had determined on seces-
sion he would share in it for veal or woe
Linton Stephens though approving of the ordi-
nance, saw no reason for its adoption, but would
vote for or sign it, The ordinance will be sign
ed on Monday. The convention then had a
secret session. There were unusual demonstra-
IONS OF popular appreciation at Milledgeville,
Saturday night with cannon, rockets music and
speeches.
The Georgia convention, on Monday, unani-
mously adopted resolution declaring that the
vote on the secession ordinance indicates differ
ence OF opinion not as to right claimed, but as
to the mode of redress; and it being desirable
to give proper expression to the feeling of all
in the convention to sustain the action of the
state, therefore it is resolved that all the dele
gates, whether voting for or against the passage
of the ordinance, will sign the same as pledge
of the unanimous determination of this con-
vcntion to sustain and defend the state in this
course, without regard to individual approval or
disprovnl. This was signed by all except twelve.
Alex II. Stephens, Judge Linton Stephens and
Gov. II. V. Johnson signed the ordinance

Honor TO NORTHERN MrCHIGAN--By a
private letter which we have been per-
mitted to peruse, we learn that Company
f, 18th Mich. Reg't--Capt. Richardson's
Tuscola Company = did most efficient
service during the fight near Leesburg,
and that in ferrying our retreating troops
across the river Capt. RICHARDSON, and
Capt. Tnos. Hunt, Of Port Huron, with
their men, worked from dusk till daylight
next morning, as only hardy lumbermen
and backwoodsmen can work when they
are in earnest. Capt. Richardson's men
took the last load off just before daylight.
We have known Capt. Hunt since he was
lad, and wo know that lie, like the
General, is ig-bodicd, big -souled man,
who can fight, or work, OF entertain 3
friend with zest which small minded
humanity can neither understand nor APP
preciste. 1t is good for such men to be
together, and if the 9TH is composed of
companies like theirs, tho honor of Mich
gan is safe in their hands. Par mobile

is scarcely possible that we shall not soon
hear of some cheering results from that
