The Military Bill.

Wo publish on our first page the Bill
recently passed by the Legislature to raise
nn srmed Military force in this State. 1.
will be seen that provision is made for the
raising of ono company from each Infantry
Battalion la the event Of war, two com
panies under this Act will be required from
this District. Up to this time one full com.
pany OF Infantry has been raised and lis
aorvics rendered to the Governor also, ono
company of cavalry, or Mounted Minute
Men. It is not probable that the services
OF the latter will be accepted. We have no
doubt but that two compan es of volunteers
can readily be raised when the acquisitions
Of the Act nrs generally known, aud il all
sections Of the District contribute alike they
can bs rp ised without materially diminish.
ipg the etfectiyo force at home, sh ouId from
any cause there be Feed of military prepsr.

WAsHINGTos, December 81, 9P. NJ
The news of the changes At Fort Moultrie,
created the most intense excitement in
Congless, and throughout tho city. On
the hoor of the Senate might be seen knots
of Senators gathered here and there, with
anxious faces and engaged in the discussion
Of the all absorbing topic. AT the War
Department all sorts OF inquiries were
made The Presidents house was throng-
ed with Senator'S and members Of Con.
gress. The papers issued extras, and tho
streets were alive with excitement.
Che house was also scene of excite.
ment and confusion. The great important
question was, who authorized the change
In the command from Moultrie to Sumter.
The demand was answered by Southern
Senator'S and others, including Yulce and
Trescot. The War Department was rs
founded at the information, and dispatches
flew across the wires thick and fast.
Governor Floyd and the President knew
nothing Of the change contemplated, and
remained in doub. as to the reason until a
dispatch from Col Anderson settled the
matter. He stated that he acted in his
own defence, believing it impossible 10 de-
fend Fort Moultrie against an attack.
The President and Secretary Of war as
sert most solemnly that Col. Anderson act
ed not only without orders but against or
ders The Cabinet is now in session, and
the matter Will be fully discussed.

The Ordinance of Sec ession.

Our readers will find this important State
paper on our first page, set up in double
column, with the names Of the signers at.
ltpcbed. We would suggest to each sub
scriber the propriety OF preserving it in
this form idIlturs ages the 2olh Of De.
.cember 1860 may be regarded as the dawn
of new and prosperous existence of the
section Of country now embracing tie
Southern States. Whether the act be for
veal or woe, there is one feature connect
ed with it which will distinguish it for all
time to come from tho net of any similar
body; 10 wit: the unparalleled unanimity
with which it was consuinmuted This
unanimity is without precedent in the histo.
.ry Of deiiberative bodies. Among one hun
dred and sixty nine members Of the Con.
yention, there was not one dissenting rOice
1t is in vain that the North talks about co.
ercing people thus united they may be
overridden by might and aunihia,et, but
sabdued, never.
