a large public meeting was held in Hunts
vile, Alabama, on the 10th, at which the
following resolutions we're passed BY large
majority:
WHEREAS, information has reached US that
the Convention, now in session in Montgoms
cry, will enact an Ordinance Of separate State
secession, without submitting the question to
the vote of the people at the ballot box,
ResOlDsd, That the refusal to submit the
question Of secession TO vote of the people
at the ballot box directly, is usurpation Of
power on the part Of the Convention-that
the act argues a distrust of the people, and is
q violation Of the fundamental principles Of
our Government. ,el"a...
ResOIesd That to submit quietly to this act
Of Convention, itself unoonstitutionally
called, is the beginning of q system of sub
mission which viii end in the overthrow Of
popular Government and the establishment
Of despotism. --.--.-.
RssolUed That as soon as the Ordinance
shall pass separating the State of Alabama
fromIthe other States Of the Union, unless the
question Is submitted to vote of the people
Of the Stale at the ballot box, then our dele
gates 10 said Convention are requested to con
suit with members friendly to cooperation
and the sovereign right Of the people through
the ballot box, the propriety Of Withdrawing
from said Convention, under protest. ~

Tho Springfield Republican narrates the

The Springfield Republican narrates the
experience of Mr.. John D. Mcknight, who
has just returned from Georgia, where he
attempted to collect bills for the clothing
house which he represented. He describes
the excitement as intense throughout the
State, and had numerous narrow escapes
from falling a victim to the suspicious of the
FirS-Eaters. He came to the city by the
steamer State Of Georgia, on its last trip from
Savannah. Among his fellow passengers was
a Nova Scotian, resident for years in sayan-
nah, who was only a few evenings before
waited upon by the "owls," one of his own
employers heading the rUffanly gang. he
saved his life by showing pluck and loaded
weapons, but he seized the earliest moment
to escape Another was a Northern man, an
officer in the Savannah Blues; and it would
have been his turn next day 10 go to Fort
Pulaski; be fed without settling up his
affairs, and, like the first named, was glad to
get of thus well. The passengers now began
to relate the horrors they had seen in their
several localities. One had seen three IN
Northern men shot down like dogs;
and all agreed that the half had not been told
OF the frenzy and madness of the Southern
people. Mr.. Mcknight says be would not 60
through another such week of terror and

Rance Of 6oialssIas shon Guns.

Tbs furthest range Of q hundred pound
shell, even at an elevation Of tbirty-fve
degrees given to the gun, is Z, 4,s2s yards; the
time Of hight being thirty-6Vs secbnds.--
The great tWelVs-inch Columbiad, the largest
gun made, loaded with twenty-five pounds Of
powder, shell Of l72 pounds and the piece
- an elevation Of thirty-6Ve degrees, has
msds range Of only 6,4Oe yards the projec-
tile occupying thirty-tWo seconds in its flight.
By increasing the elevation 10 thirty-nine
degrees only 100 yards more was gained in
ra1gs. From the same gun Of $50 pounds
aud an elevation ofthirty- i've degrees, a range
Of ,67l yards has been attained, and at an
elevation of thirty-nine degrees arrange Of s.
76l yards (three and third milesl, which is
the greatest that has ever been accomplished
By any gun in our service. The flight oc-
cupied thirty-siE seconds. Charleston is
therefore perfectly safe from the guns of Fort
Sumter. If itwere even within the furthest
range Of those guns, the angle Of elevation
necessary to accomplish such a distance is 50
extreme that TO nit the city would be mat
ter Of extreme uncertainty. The guns of
FortSumter can only be raised to an elevation
Of thirty-three degrees on account Of the
CasematSs, and consequently could DO no
damage beyond about two miles and a
half ,.t-r
A ten inch Columbiad at an elevation Of
tbirty-three degrees, viii throw a shell about
three miles. There are no such guns in
barbette at Fort Sumter, and ifthere are an y
casemate guns of that caliber no such ele-
vation could be had. Tne upper surface Of
the gun would strike against the top OF the
embrasure at an elevation far short Of thirty
three degrees. l

MARRYING IN FUN.-An Erie paper tells
how at an evening party in that vicinity
recently, as matter Of run, proposition to
marry was entertained by two parties who
had then for the first time met. In carrying
out the joke it was suggested that the cere-
mony be Immediately performed-the preach
er residing near by. They went to the house
of the minister to consummate the joke, found
the reverend gentleman in bed, woke him,
and bad the ceremony performed in the spirit
Of joke, and paid the fee in a joke, but
the best part Of the joke is they have since,
learned that the marriage was legally per-
formed, and is binding upon the parties
engaged therein. It is supposed the parties,
who are both respectable, will mend mat
ters BY eventually assuming in earnest what
was intended as a jest the true relationship
of man and wife. The gentleman is named
Doane, resident of New York State, and
the lady is a Mas Wheeler. This is a warn
ing to folks who are fond of jesting and
especially in affairs OF such deep moment as
thsceremouy Of marriage.

An Insult o CIeYeInnd.

The appointment of the corps of special
deputies, whom Marshal johnson yesterday
swOre into Office, was a gross insult to CIeve-
land, and is so considered by all the better
pOrtion''of our citizens They do NOT feel ag-
grieved that ffty-hTe men were appointed to
preserve the peaee, but that ffty-fve men
were appointed and invested with Office, a
majority of whom had no more idea of the
duties pertaining to their post than to swing
club and knock down every colored man
they could find. If deputies were to be ap-
pointed, Why in the name of all that is de-
cent, could rot men be called who had some
respect for themselves and Cor the honor Of
the city, as well as for the strict enforcement
of the law. If the call had been made, ,ffty,
or one hundred, or one hundred and fifty
business men could have been found who
would guarantee to preserve the peace; and
who would not have been themselves dis
turbers Of the peace.
Instead Of this, what was done yesterday
One Of these deputies struck a negro, not two
feet distant from him, not with his fist, but
with q sIuzg-sh0t Another of these depu-
tics knocked an unOhending negro down,
and was in the act Of striking him again with
q club, when one Of the city police stopped
the blow. Others of the deputies, whose
chief delight is to get into a fight, could not
miss the GLORIOUS opportunity they,
therefore, would surround quiet, unofend-
ing negro, ieer, push and hustle him until he
was forced to defend himself when they would
knock him down and arrest him. One par
ty thus surrounded a colored man who was
looking On the crowd, and hustled him until
an officer arrested him mot them, and took
him of to jail. We saw, ourselves, a deputy
knock man dewn with club (the man
was running, with the rest of the crowd,
away from the officers, and then Bit him
another heavy and OOwardly blow after he
was down. A Democrat, who was wituess
Of the scene, tells Us that party surrounded
a eolored woman, and leased and pushed her
until she pulled handful OF snuff out Of her
pocket and threw it at them instantly /
score Of deputies pounced upon her, as If she I
was a Wild beast, and bore her of to jail
Such are some Of the official aCtiOns Of
these oGesra In heavens name, if we are
to have an infamous law forced upon Us, let I
It be done in christisn manner, and not BY |
rouehs who viii cram it down our threats as /
they would brother lighters teeth. Some
Of These men have been inmates Of our jails
and prisons
There were We are happy to say, q few
honorable exceptions to the above rule.

- Furlrlre So -.

Elsewhere will be found q full report Of
the case Of the unfortunate woman Lucy,
the alleged fugitive slave. The case was
continued till Thursday, for the purpose o,
enabling the counsel for the prisoner to OBJ
tain testimony, BY which 70 prove that Lucy
was brought to Beaver by her mistress, and
consequently Wasmade free by this voluntary
act As we anticipated they would do, the
people Of Cleveland submitted to the man
date Of that justee-deiying and infamous
law, the Fugitive Slave Act There was no
disturbance Of any consequences, except that
which was caused by the surging of a crowd
Of people, and the brutal behavior Of the
prisOn-rspscalliors comprising the corps Of
special deputy marshals.
We would here take occasion to express
our appreciation OF the fairness and justice
exhibited BY Commissioner White in grant
ing a continuation of the case, at the request
of Judge spalding, the counsel Of the woman
Lucy although the vile law be was enforcing
required that the fugitive should be given up
in a summary manner. We venture to say
that this spirit of fairness and justice will do
more to alley the excitement than all the
military Of tho city could do.
The people of Cleveland and of the West
ern Reserve viii submit to the enforcement
Of the Fugitive Slave lsw, when every facil-
ity is given its victim ofproving his freedom,
and time is granted to enable him to obtain
testimony; but tho people viii not submit, if
United States officers should endeavor to en-
force the Law in the manner that it was at
tempted to be enforced in Oberlin two years
since, when a colored man was kidnapped Al
the dead hour Of midnight and hurried out of
town. Neither win the people allow a pack
Of unhung sco1ndrels, sctingas Q. s. Deputy
Marshals, in a sneaking manner in the night,
to kidnsp q whole family ofcolored people, and
do it in such haste as to cause the miserable
mother Of the family to drop her infant in
field, where it was afterwards found almost
starved, as was done in Erie county last Sum
mer.
The people viii demand for the fugitive as
fair trial as possible under this unjust law.
The slave-hounds of the South, and their
Northern tools need not exyect hereafter to
have things all their own way.
The North has submitted to the infiction
OF the fugitive law, and will continue to sub
NIT, till it is either repealed or modified, but
only on condition that the South is compelled
to give the necessary guarantee that North
ern citizens shall be protected fomgbeing
hung, and tarred and feathered and that she
be compelled to obey the laws also, even il
It should require the whole military strength
of the government to oblige her to do so; and |
that the leading Southern traitors be tried
and hung according to law, as promptly as
were the citizens Of Oberlin punished for be-
ing engaged in the Wellington Rescue case.
On no other terms will the peOpleof the West
,rn Reserve submit to the enforcement ofthe
Fugitive law.

dated
NASHVILLE, Jan. 9, 1861:
l am sick and tired of this trip. No
money, no goods wanted, and nothing talked
of but the distracted state Of the country.-
There is a gloom over every person and eve
ry person, and cannot and do not feel com
Portable. This State, with the mass Of the
people, is conservative, but they say they
must be guaranteed in their constitutional
rights, or they will be obliged to 60 out with
the other Southern States. The Legislature
meets tomorrow, but what their probable ac-
ton on the Southern issue will be, have
not been able to learn, but Gov. Harris is
said to be rather inclined to secession.
The northernCp part of Alabama is also con-
sentative, but the northern part Of Missis-
sippi is red-hot for secession, and will go Out
tomorrow or next day. Iwas at Oxford, 60
miles from the Tennessee line, and was very
glad to get out of the State, and felt quite
believed when got back to this State. This
part Of the country has had no crop for two
yeats, and no good crop for four and yon
may well imagine that money is scarce, bust
ness Frustrated, and provisions high. Corn
80 to 80 cents; pork y to cents, and other
things in proportion. There is much dis
tress among the poor of this city, and the
end, fear, is not yet. God help them.
