the SEIZURE or THE GEORGIA FORTS.
A PREMEDITATED AFFAIR.
The Attack upoa the Federal Capital

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6, 1861.
The following dispatch, dated at Savannah, Ga,
on Saturday, the 5th, reached Georgian gentle
man here last night, who has allowed me to copy
it for THE TRIBUNE:
SAVANNAH, Saturday Jan. s. 1851.
The pretext that it was necessary to take the
forts here because the people would rise against
them is the merest subterfnge The only trouble
was the people were not forward enough, and 1t
was necessary to create an excitement in order
TO bring them to the proper pitch The whole
movement was but part of wel-digested pian'
clearly understood among the leaders Of treason
in the South, to take advantage of the inactlon
of the Administration, and put power into the
hands of the rebels before reenforcements could
prevent the seizure Of public property.
The ostensible preparations of the Georgia
troops to march to the assistance of South Caro-
lima were really made with view to the act now
done in this State. 1t is believed that the move
ment was fastened by dispatches from the South
Carolina Commissioners to the leading traitors IN
this city, and by the necessity of crowding the
people toward immediate secession. The pro-
gramme will now be rapidly carried out the
mask having been flung away, and all pretense
of waiting for State action will be discarded.
Uncommon talk Of the town declares that all these
movements are but preliminary TO on attack upon
the Federal Capital. Having friendly country
through which to march, and having possession
of the forts and arsenals, they say that conquest
would be easy. They rely on the supposed weak
ness of the Administration, and are elated with
the ease with which they have gained the forts
already taken. / give these as rumors only, but
where there is 80 much smoke there must be
some fire.

War Meeting at jefferson.

Mr. EDwoR:-The people Of Southern
Grant are not behind the times. The war
spirit has infused itself into the hearts Of
the people. Pursuant to notice, ''war
meeting" was held at the school house in
Jefferson, town Of Hazel Green, on Tues
day, Sept. 10, the object Of which was to
get volunteers for the Grant County Sixth,
now forming at Platteyille. 1t was an
nonnced that the Hon. S. O. Paine, OF
Plettesilla would address the meeting, but,
probably owing to the bad state of the
roads, he was not present. The people
were somewhat disappointed BY the abb
sence Of the Judge, for old, young and
raiddle-aged, had assembled, anxious to
hear the causes Of the great strife in our
land, and our ability to stand our ground.
The time was occupied proftably, no.
wilhstanding the absence Of tue speaker.
Music swellcd forth upon the evening
breeze, inspiring every heart WITH a nobler
fnd holer patriotism.
lhe meeting was called to Jr1er and
Or. I. G. Stephens called to the chair, af-
ter which Mr.. Henry Mitchell, Prof. ID.
Gray Purman and Mr. Augustus Tyler
addressed the meeting, setting forth the
causes which have produced the war, and
the duty Of those who have 10 greater OIL
legations, to 90 aud sustain this glorious
government, and enioining on those who
are about to leave us never to be wounded
in the back. The time intervening between
speeches was occupied by the musicians /;
the Star Spangled Banner" was joined in
by all who could sing. Three hearty
cheers were given for the music, three for
the volunteers, and three for The Union.
A committee was appointed to draft reso-
buttons in reference to the young men who
had enlisted for the war. The committee
reported the following:
Whereas, Several Of our young men
have responded to the call for the Grant
County Sixth, thus offering their lives, il
need be, to their country, therefore,
Resotped, That we, the citizens Of jeff
erson and vicinity, do offer them our heart
felt sympathy and bid them God speed,
believing they will conquer or die.
RESOLVED That we ask the prayers Of
all good men for them, that in their love
for their country they may not forget their
duty to God. ". W.
