The mississippi Convention.

The Mississippi State Convention assembled in
jackson on Monday, and the proceedings were
opened with prayer by the Rev. G. K. Marshall
of Vicksburg. Hon. II. T. Elliott was appointed
President pro TEN, and the roll being called 81
members answered to their names.
Hon. W. S. Barry, of Lowndes, was elected
President on the third ballot-who, on taking the
chair, returned his thanks in handsome manner.
Mr.. f. A. Pope, of Holmes, was then elected
Secretary, and Mr.. Westbrook, of Octibbeha,
elected sergeant-at-Arms, and Mr. Poole, of Kinds,
Doorkeeper.
The President then announced the organization
of the Convention.
Mr.. Lamar, of Lafayette, then submitted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolred That a committee of-be appointed
by the President, with instructions to prepare and
report as speedily as possible, an ordinance pro-
viding for the withdrawal of the State of Missis.
sippi from the present Federal Union, with view
to the establishment of New Confederacy, com.
posed of the Seeding States
The blank was then filled by inserting the word
"ftteen," and the resolution carried. .-
On motion, Of Mr.. Clayton, of Lowndes. com.
mittee of three was appointed to inform the Gov.
ernor of the organization of the Convention, and
ascertain from him whether any communications
have been received in his department, which he
deems necessary to bring before the Convention.
The Convention then adjourned to Tuesday

But the removal of which we now speak is entirely
arbitrary, and at the will of the Secretary of War
He has this power OF removal from one place of
deposit to another, in order that the United States
troops may be more readily supplied in case of
emergency. No other honest purpose would Justify
the expence of such removal from an arsenal
where there is no danger, to points where treason
or negro instruction might make them positively
dangerous to the peace of the country, and where
IN fact there were no United States troops-not
even enough to protect them from decay. What
became of the $4,000 deposited in Charleston we
have already seem They are as carefully guarded
as the $4,000 bonds in the treasury and we shall
have just as good an account of them.
1t will be seen, then, that from the Springfield
armory alone there have been sent to the points
where treason had made its appointments lbs 900
muskets; and not one single mnsket to any United
States arsenal in a Northern State except 20 600
to New York. But what of New York? These. like
those from Troy, were not to remain in New York
but are sold to the traitors for the paltry sum of
81 50 each! If anything was needed to arouse our
people to the frightful treachery over which they
have been sleeping let them ponder on this state
ment
We have only disclosed what has been done by
the War Department at the Springfield armory
We have no means of access to the facts connected
with Harper's Ferry. But arms are not in the
habit of coming North! Will some of our Senators

THE WETuMPKA TRAGEDY-A letter from We
tumpka to the Montgomery Mail gives the follow.
ing particulars of the murders committed by Peter
Schwen, the fact of which we have heretofore
published:
Editors Maa-Peter Schwen, the Wetumpka
butcher of whom you gave brief notice on the
LIST nst was out cunning with his little son on Sat
urday last. After returning home, he drew the
charges of bird-shot from his own double barrel
and his sons single-barrel, and reloaded with
buck-shot. Then calling up Dick, fine, likely
negro man, he blew his brains out. His wife
rushed up, and asked him why he shot Dick? He
Immediately turned upon her, pursued her through
the house. out of the house to the Kitchen the door
of which she closed against him, and he dashed in
at the window ; she fled again, he still pursuing,
and finally fired upon her, shooting her through the
abdomen, from the effects of which she died on
Monday morning.
Still under the influence of some demon, he then
picked up his single-barrel, pursued and fired at,
but fortunately missed, his negro woman who had
taken refuge under the house. With his unoaded
gun, he then chased his little son. lad of twelve,
who outran him, Hurting the gun after the boy,
he fled to the woods, and slept out those cold
nights, Saturday, Sunday and Monday; but learn
ing that men with pack of hounds were after
him, he came in and delivered himself up. Yester.
day he was examined and fully committed on the
charge of murder
