THE EMPIRE STATE OF THE SOUTH.

The mail on last Monday evening brought
US the welcome intelligence that the State of
Georgia. great and powerful ally. had sece
ded from the Federal Union. This Ordinance
of Secession was passed by one hundred and
nineteen majority. Immediately upon the re-
cepion of tho news o.:sAlute of one hundred
guns was fred. At night there was brilliant
display Of fireworks in the Public Square, and
our town was brilliantly illuminated. Several
ofour citizens, Hon. D. L. wardIaw, and others
were called on and made speeches on the occa.
sion.
The decisive action Of Georgia, we think,
has great s1iminis ished tho chances Of o collis-

IMPORTANT FROM WASHISGToN CITY.-Wash-
ington, January COS cveral Southern Seun-
tors do not hesitate TO declare that they will
vote against Mr.. Crittenden's proposition,
when it comes up on Mondy, knowing ms they
do that the Republicans never had any inten.
tion of allowing them to be submitted to the
people, and they den5unce any such at tempt
to deceive the country into q futile hope of
continued confederation.
The Republican Scnators and Representa-.
tives openly assert That they will never adopt
Mr. Crittendcns proposition; that after eight
years of hard Struggle for power, they are not
disposed to yield single point Of the platform
which they fought SO hard to conquer upon.
AS proof of this. although Mr. Cameron
moved u reconsideration of Mr.. Crittenden's
proposition last Wednesday, he and every other
Republican voted against the reconsideration
ON Friday.
All eyes are now turned towards Virginia,
as there is no hope of the return of the sece-
ding States, except upon reeonstruction of
tAe Union, which can only be attained by the
prompt secession fall the border States This
is On impeeal view of the case as it now stands
here. :.
1t is reliably stated that the garrison a.

panies of Light Artillery, two of ca avairy, aud
five of Infantry. several'of these have already
arrived here. Another company of Artillery
will leave West Point for here tomorrow.
