POPULAR MAJORITY FOR SEcEssIoN.-Fiye Of the
seven Congressional Districts in the late election for
Delegates the Convention gave decided maorities
for Secession whilst only two, to wit the 9th and
9th gave majorities for cooperation.
Ia many Of the large counties, which are known
to be almost unanimous fsr secession, such Bar
bour, Calhoun Macon, Montgomery, &c, the Co-ope-
rstionists did not give any regularly opposition and
therefore the vote was not drawn out The vote
which has been given, however, shows to those vino
are best acquainted with the matter that upon full
VOTE there are the following maorities for secession
in FIVE Of the Congressional Districts,
First District. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 5000
Second District. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 5000
I Third DiztrIct. ....................,,. 1000
Fourth District. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS O0

The tables Of the trade Of the port for the past
week are remarkable for the large amount of pro-
duce exports and the revival Of spscie shipments.
The export of produce is the heaviest on record;
export Of corn one Of the heaviest Of the year. 1t
is not likely that we shall continue 10 export much
coin; but the active movement of produce ON our
railways justifes the belief that our shipments of
food will continue to be large throughout the win
ter. 1t is evident that Europe will need all the
produce that we can send across the water. The
imports show considerable falling Off from those
Of the corresponding weeks of last year and the
year before. The heeviest items are guns, sugar
