GEORGIA SECEDED.-The Georgia con-
vention passed the secession ordinance on
Saturday. The ordinance follows nearly
The language used by other states. 1t de-
clares that the ratification of the U. s. con-
stitution in 1888 by Georgia, and all subs
equent acts of the legislature relative there
to, are abrOgrated; also that the Union be-
tween Georgia and the other states is dis
solved, and Georgia is in the full possession
ofall the rights and sovereignty that APP
pertain to independent states. This was
carried by 208 against 80, which is more
than the strict party vote OF los to 1870. A
motion TO postpone the operation of the or
dnance to the Sd of March was lost by
thirty majority. Alex. II. Stephens and
Herschel V. johnson were among those who
voted against the ordinance. A resolution
was adopted to continue the present postal
and revenue system until otherwise order
ed also to continue all civil officers under
the federal government. Benz. II. Hill
(Union) introduced substitute for the ordi-
nance which was lost. He subsequently
voted for tie ordinance, saying that as
Georgia had determined on secession 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 OIL sign it. The ordinance
will be signed on Monday. The convention
then had secret session. There were IN
usual demonstrations of popular approba-
ton at Milledgeville, Saturday night, with
cannon, rockets, music and speeches.

LET THE UNITED STATES PURCHASE
THE SLAvrs.-Instead of making slavery
perpetual, by so altering the Constitution
that Congress shall have no power TO abol-
ish slavery in any place under its exclusive
Jurisdiction or 10 prohibit the traffic of slaves
between the States, why should it not pro-
pose to pay fair value for all the slaves in
those States which will, within a given time,
adopt emancipation We think the North
would go for such measure in mass

ROB ANDERSON, MY 10.

Rob Anderson, my 10, Rob.

To drink so many juleps
In praise Of Halloween.
You need all your wits, Rob,
To keep the forts, YOU know
But they II slip through your fingers,
Rob Anderson, my j..
Rob Andersen, my 10, Rob
When first We were aequaint,
You were a sweet cadet, lob,
And always Dill your stint
But now your shanks are shaky, Rob,
You staggrr as you go--
Your tongue is thick, your eye is glazed,
Rob Anderson, my jo.
ouce in the brush with Black Hlwk
You fairly did your share;
And so with 0sceola, Rob,
Whose bones you have in care.
You got fame among the greasers, Rob,
Though with wound or so;
But now we'll wound your honor,
Rob Anderson, my 10.
Fort Moultrie is jewel, Rob,
Fort Sumter is n gem,
But with RATS well made of cotton bags
Ven surely conquer them.
They now are In your keeping, Rob,
But soon as cocks do crow
Well ease you Of the burden,
Rob Anderson, my 10,
We've watched you in tie Nina, Rob,
That away you might not steal,
FOR We know when you're yourself Rob,
You are a cunning chiel.
But this night you are harmless, Rob,
Sleep Oh your drunk, you fool
While we steam away to Charleston,
And keep our bonny Yule.
Thus sung the Boosting heroes
or the palmetto and snake,
And never dreamed that Robin
Was such "Wide wake"
They gone, he reused his mettle,
And while they took their swipes
He stole a march upon them,
And saved the stars and stripes.

There is no offence in the United States
that passes rnder the name of petty trca-

TO which that apella,ion could be given, ex-
cept an offence against the government OF
one of the states, 10 which it could not be
properly applied, since these governments
are, in some respects, supreme. Treason
can Ike committed only bya subject Of the
sovereign power, or citizen of the state

only against such sovereign state or country !;

daw considered as participators, who are

Such is the position in which ali persons
place themselves who undertake to step out
of fhis Union, and to take up arms against
our government. DO they know the po-
eition. and do they think Of the penalty ?,
1t seems to me that they could not have

t. The state Of the country during the
last ", tx pr srnts secession to be the same
disunion humbug, which il always has
been. Several senators and representatives
from the cotton states have left congress,
but with the evident expectation, in most
cases, of returning, after frightening a sutii-
cie,t number of the northern members into
making some miserable compromise. Al
lhe seeding states, thus far, allow the fed
rral government to carry the mails as usual,
and Georgia has expressly provided that
the collection OF customs and postal arrange
ments shall continue as they are for the pres
ent! Even the, secession Of state now
creates no sensation, and stocks actually
rise during the operation In North Caro-
Ina a few union meetings have been held,
and their own state stocks rose this week
from II to so cents.

THE RESULTS 1T A PROPHECY?
There is divinity shaping the course of this
war, ana we must accept its fortunes and its mis-
fortunes with equal trust and hopetulness. There
IS one thing, and onl one, at the bottom of the
highland that is the negro. And vet, both North
and South are studousy ignoring the fact and de-
celvlug themselves and trying to deceive the world
as to the cause of quarrel. The South pretends to
be lighting for independence-but IL is yhtng for
the establishment of human bondage as the basis of
republican government. The North, or loval
States, claim to be Shting for the re estabsbmen
OF the Constitution and laws, and have tn ought
OF property or social institutions in their minds
But thev KNOW that until slavery changes its rea.
tlon 10 Government, and becomes its complete sub
Ject instead of its arrogant master, the peace and
safety ot the Republic are Impossible.

shall we strike the monster where he is vulnerable?
snail we thrust in our spear where the cancer of his
crime invites to surgery? Shall we eight the devil

Let psralyzed army and a reeing nation answer.
WHO WON THE VICTORY?
Exnggeration played its usual trick with the
news OF Sundays battle. In the light OF more de-
tailed and authentic advioes, it may fairly be con-
sldered doubtful whether either party gained
victory.
The disaster simply and only the effect of
wild panic; it was not defeat.-Tribunc.
We have fought and been beaten. God forgive
rulers that this is so, but it true; and cannot
be disguised. The cabinet, recently expressing, in
rhetoric better adapted to a love-letter fear of
being drowned in its own honey, is now nearly
drowned in GORE Tribune.
Thus, adds the New York World, in parallel
columns, the Tribune blunts the edge of its own
mendacity.

that the County Commissioners had made arrange.

accordingly the courthouse was soon made the

artillery to fire, and then rising, discharge their
muskets and charge bayonets in splendid order.
Some of their evoutions were superb, and per-
formed with perfect rapidity, coolness and discp.
line.
The Government has made provision for at least
three thousand. They have taken the old build
ings formerly occupied by Congress, and built a
big fence around, making, in fact, a perfect pen.
The prisoners are in admirable spirits, forming a
striking contrast with the depression aud demorali-
zation of their captors.
Many stragglers were coming in during the whole
of to-day. Some of them took the wrong road,
and ran at least six or eight miles below Alexan-
dria.
There is much uneasiness in Washington this
afternoon. The fact that the bearer OF the flag ot
truce was not permitted to enter the Confederate
lines is considered as suspicious. An attack on
Alexandria is anticipated, and many people are
coming into Washington, giving the impression
of an advance toward the city.
The enemys lines closely picketted all the
wav up to Leesburg, and much anxiety appears to
b. entertained about attack from that direction
