A PROPER MovE.AfAvices from Mont gomery say that the buthern Congress, aow in session at thas place, have made arrangements for loau'of fourteen millions fl dollars by the firss5of March, at which sime the southern Lconfederacy will have 30.000 troops in ,eadiness to march against
 Washington C5y, in the event "Old Abe" attempts to blockade southern ports.
 We appyove this step. It is bold and a wise ore. No cringing-no timid coun- ae's sLould prevail now. The Rubicon has beea passed, and bold decisive measures eiohe will win. Georgia has proved this {aiready The authorities of New York seized the trls purchased by Georgia in New York city and detained them, but Iwhen the Governor of Georgia retaliated ! by sezing the shipping at Savannah belong ing to citizens of New York, the arms were not only delivered up, but promply shipped to their proper destination.

HEAD QUARTERS ARK. MILITIA, Feb 26, '6I.
 Being impressed with the belief that great con- trariety of opinion exists amongst the people of this commonwealth touching the vital question of union or dsunon still pending and to be adjusted by delegates assembled at the capital 4th March, proxi- mo-and believing that dscord and sectional ami mostly may be engendered by an incautious display of military parades, or assembages of armed cit {. zens, for any purpose, in the vicinity of the capital think proper, in my capacity as Governor of the State and Commander-in-C Chief of the Militia thereof, to exhort my citizens purposes of peace and quiet-that their deliberations through their delegates may seal more effe ctually the bonds of unity. and eoncord-thereby perpetuating the dignity and power of the State-the better to se- cure their ultimate safety and happiness, whether in or out of the Union.
 Internal and domestic strife, is much more alarm ing and dreadful to contemplate, than impending aggression cOInfng fun II0st foTmdaijie for= eign foe.
 That conflict and evil may not ensue, it is there fore commanded, that from the 4th of March until the 20th of that inst, without further orders, no parade, muster or driii of any of the militia or volunteer forces of this State, shall take place in the county of Pulaski under arms, nor unfurling the national ensign any other adopted colors or inse-nia.
 Exciting incidents of this character may lead to unpleasant or serious consequences. And I cannot permit myself to doubt, that pa triotsm tempered with wisdom, will admonsh my eountrymen of the propriety of yielding cheerful obedience to this order.

MT. Lincoln Tells Kentucky to Prepare
for War.

The dispatch in our Fridays edition is confirmed by the following particulars from the Louisville Courier, of the 11th inst:
 LET HER PREPARE FOR WAR.-Mr. Thomas Hutchison, wealthy and emi- nently respectable citizen of Boyle county. in this State, and member of the Union party, was in Springfield, H., few days; and feeling deeply interested in the main- tenance of peace, and anxious for the re- storation of the Union, and knowing the question of peace or war is substantially in the hands of Mir. Lincoln, through the in- fuence which his position gives him over the members of his party, he sought an in terview with the President elect, never doubting that he would learn that the pat riotism, and good sense, and sound iudg- ment of that distinguished gentleman were equal to the emergency, aud capable of car rying us peaceably and safely through the crisis
 He las returned home oiMom hope for Me future.
 Mir. Lincoln, in the conversation, refer red to the anti-coercion resolutions passed through the House of Representatives at Frankfort by vote S7 ayes to noes, and asked his visitor if they expressed the sen- timent of the peopel of the State.
 Mir. Hutchison replied that the people of Kentucky are for the Union; that they will cling to it as the sheet anchor of their hopes; that they would make any sacrifice which freemen could make to preserve it; but he thought, if any attempt should be made to coerce the seeding States by fed eral arms, they would make common cause with the South-that he believed the reso- lutions expressed the sentiment of the State.
 MT. Lincoln then said, with emphasis: elf Kentucky means to say that if the federal government undertook to recapture the southern forts and collect the revenue and war ensue, she will unite with the south, LET HER PREPARE FOR ! WAR"
 It needed not this emphatic declaration of the President elect of the united states to convince the people of Kentucky, that if war ensue between the North and the South, they cannot avoid being drawn into the conflict.
 The North will require Kentucky to send her soldiers and furnish her money, to aid them in their desperate attempt to subju- gate the South; and if she refuses to obey, then she will be deemed rebel, and he1 sons will be compelled to defend their homes against the Yankee mercenaries of Abra- ham Lincoln!
 It is possible-barely possible-even yet, that by bold and manly action on the part of Kentucky, peace may be preserved; but if war should come, she will have to choose whether she will fight for the free States ol with the slaveholding States.

The Election for the Convention.

II Owing to the fact that the members elec- Ited to the convention have been made the messengers to bring the vote for the con ivention to the capital, we have not received lEfull and perfect returns by the mails H Enough however has been learned to justify Ius in the belief that the convention has sbeen carried by large majority The sovereign people of Arkansas will meet in Iconvention on the 4th day of March next, Ito consider their grievances, and to take Isuch action as they may deem the necessity sof the case requires.
 E Tho complexion of the convention will sbe about what we thought and predicted FOver thirty of it's members will be for i'm hnediate secession from the Union, over twenty will be for secession when all pros lpects of justice in the Union shall have vanished, and not more than fifteen have Ebeen elected who are for unconditional sub- omission.
 Is Under the circumstances, when it is re- hnembered that this question of secession shas never before been presented to our peo- lple, their action we regard as in the highest lHegree honorable to the State Had the whole subject been brought up before them two or three weeks ago, and been fully and Ably discussed, there is now no doubt but fhat the voice for immediate secession Iwould have been overwhelming. \ We look upon Arkansas as already a Emember of the southern confederacy. She fs, in heart, if not in fact The convention
 to assemble here next 4th day of March Twill but reflect the will of large majority Fofour people when they take her out of the IEpresent Union and make her member of N the confederated States of America. D yIhere may be few who will oppose this |kstep because they prefer the northern to the southern republic-and there may be a Few more who, fearful of responsibility, Pnay desire to postpone and delay, but a
 Large majority of the convention will be for at once vindicating the honor of the Estate by placing her, where she ought to
 be, along side of her sisters of the South.
 The people of Arkansas are not vacil- Hating, time-serving people. The recent Ielection has vindicated them from this stain. They have not taken council of those who
 would wait for the action of the border
 slave States. Feeling themselves compe-
 tent to manage their own affairs, and pos
 sessing the independence to rely upon their eown resources, they have acted for them
 selves.
 In less than twenty days Arkansas will
 be with her sisters of the South, an honor
 ed member of "The Confederate States of
 America" Nine times nine cheers for Ar Kansas.
