From the South.

.s DAroN hOCGE, Jan. ~.
The Governors message was read in the
Legislature, to-day. He says: "Our enemies
will find that throughout Louisiana VIC are
one people, one heart, one mind, and are not
to be cajoled into the abandonment of Our
rights, and not to be subdued. All hopes
are at an end that the dissenson between the
North and the South is to be healed. All
propositions of moderate men have been con-
temptuously rejected. The cry of the North
is for coercion. There is no longer any doubt
of the wisdom of that policy which demands
that the conflict shall be settled now"
RALEIGH, N. G., Jan. 20.
The call for Convention is more doubtful,
On account of disagreement as. to time; one
party IS for hasty and the other for deliberate
action. The Senate agrees, on the 2lst of
February, to elect delegates, which will likely
kill it.. 1t was debated in the House, to-day,
but no action was taken. North Carolina
will prove conservative but not submissive.
Everybody is for secession, if it becomes
necessary.

The True WAR POLICY. The Philadel-
phia Press thus speaks Of the most practi.
cable mode to bring the rebelliops Cotton
States back to their allegiance: "fhers is
no necessity of sending down armies from
the North, as some propose; we have better
and more effective means. Let the Presi-
dent issue a proclamation, and declara the
ports Of entry of the seeding States closed,
warning ell foreign vessels, under penalty Of
confiscation, to enter any one Of them, and
the Seceders will soon find out that it is
better to be in than out Of the Union. No
vessel will then be permitted to ship their
cotton and import the necessary things
which they do not manufacture themselves.
Times are hard nov with them, but they will
be worse then. Coupter-zeyolntlons will
soon follow in their own midst"

A LOcOfOcO Plot.

A political plot is being concocted at this

little city has been selected As the theatre for

The Bank Vote.

Not having seen published statement
Of the vote, in November last, on the proposed
amendment to the General Banking Law, we
wrote, some days ago, to Mr.. Sells, Secretary
Of State, for statement Of the vote. He
informs us that there we're 8, l5S votes in favor
of the amendment and 4, Sl5 against it. leaving
the majority against it 1852. twill be seen
that the vote was exceedingly small. The
result was, however, as it should have been.
The amendment proposed was to allow the
establishment of banks with capital of
$4,000 instead of $4,000, as at present
required. We claim the credit of defeating
the measure. Muscatine county gave nearly
thousand majority against it, and the sur
rounding counties, where our paper circulates,
also went against it, although the vote was
very light.
