determined altitude o. "e
People.
BALTIMORE. Jan. 2.-The special cores
pendent Of the american at Charleston writes
that military operations are actively gong on,
and every poin, Of Importance is fully man
ned. The news Of Secretary Floyd's resign
alton was received with sorrow. The attitude
of the administration is regarded as warlike.
If the worst comes. South Carolina will meet
it. and though her people are cast down, they
will fight to the bitter end. A censorship is
exercised over the telegraph, and the city is
nightly patrolcd. 1t is proposed to starve
out the troops at Fort Sumter, and then at
tack them on RATS, with the aid Of batteries
already erected. A battery Of earthwork,
composed of logs and sand. has been erected
on the end of Salivan's Island. The cutter
Harriet Lane is expected tonight Monday
and it is determined to sink her if she at
tempts to enter the harbor. No clearances
of vessels have been made under the new
regime. The first vessel arriving from Liver
pool will, it is expected, create rumpus.

THE CHARLESTON CONVENTION ADJOURN
ED.-The Secession Convention at Charleston
adjourned on Saturday last. All power in
relation to postal matters was vested in the
Legislature. Five thousand copies of the
correspondence Of the Commissioners with
the President were ordered TO be printed
The Convention adjourned subject to the call
of the President We suspect, from present
indications. that when next they are called to-
gether it will be for the purpose of repeating
their reasonable ordinance of secession, and
instructing their Ministers to the L. s. Gov
eminent to negotiate for a peaceabe re-
turn to their fathers household. Secession
is already troublesome thing to South Car
olina, and in less than two months time will
be not only played out, but pretty well starred
out. We hope the U. S. Government will
protect its own property within the State from
any attack from the traitors, and just leave
them to themselves, to work out their own
destiny. Repudated and scorned by the
whole civilized world, they will soon enough
sec the uncomfortable position they have
placed themselves in, and be glad enough to
seek protection of Uncle Sam. Then, and
not till then, will be time to talk about "com-
promises which should be made by con-
cessions and ACKNOWLEDGING from the South,
who are constantly disturbing the country
with their reasonable designs, and not from
the North. who are as true to the Union as
the needle to the pole.
/ p. S. In confirmation of what we have
stated above respecting the secessionists be-
ing starved out, we append the following
NEW YoRK Jan s -The Tribune has private adyces
from Charleston the effect that parties Of minute men
are entering private houses in that city and perempory
demanding food and money also that Governor Piokens
has written officer Of high rank in the army ma
tive Of South Carolina. requesting him TO come 10

their allies, to prevent a declaration of the

and the protection Of the property OF the
United States
In the Senate, the first Republican Senator
from Oregon Baker made very effective
speech against secession.
Henry Winter Davis Of Md, has addressed
his constituents by letter, ardently defending
the Union.
THURSDAY, Jan. 3.
The President Getting Pucly.
have before called attention to the evil
dence in Floyd's letter that the President had
promised not to garrison Fort Sumpter, &c.
The President now says that "the agreement
was made by Secretary Floyd, who had no
right to make il, and the leaders of the mob
at Charleston, who had no power to keep it,"
Yesterday the President nominated Peter
Mcintyre of Philadelphia as Collector at
Charleston. The Senate has not acted on
this nomination.
Il is rumored that a war steamer is ready
for service at Norfolk, and that troops now
there will be sent to garrison Southern forts.
Also that the President had proposed to the
s. c. Commissioners to withhold reinforce
ments if South Carolina will reinstate the U.
s. flags over the Forts, Arsenal Custom
House and Post Office at Charleston 9TH
erwise that the rights of the United States
will be enforced. Doubtless this was de-
clinod. At any rate it is announced that the
Commissioners left the city this morning on
their return to South Carolina. This indi-
Gates that the President has told them that
there can be no accommodation. In fact he
refused to acknowledge them officially Jas
Commissioners at all.
Secretary Holt, on advice from Gen. Scott
has appointed an officer to organize the mill
tia Of this District to repel invasion, suppress
instruction and protect the public property
A city paper announces a threat and sup
posed attempt to assassinate Senator Wade
There were good reasons for the statement,
which had been known to some Of the Sona-
tors friends for some days. There teas
threat from Mississippi, and there was an at
tempt made to get access to Senator Wade by
Southron who refused to give his name
The affair was put into the hands of the po-

FRIDAY Noon, Jan. a.
The State troops Of Georgia, by order Of
the Governor, have occupied the forts and ar
senal at Savannah, to prevent them from be-
ing taken by mob. But this leaves the
forts in dubious condition, to say the least.
