Among the prizes taken at Fernandna was
the following letter, from ex-senator Yulee to
one Finegan, member of the Florida "sove-
reignty" convention 1t shows that secession
was foregone conclusion with the cotton
states. and that the only effect of the peace
convention" and compromise propositions of
the winter of 1861, was, to get up issues upon
which the border states might also be dragged
into secession -
WAsHINGToN, Jan. L 1861.
My Dear Sr,-On the other side is a copy
of resolutions adopted at insulation of tile
senators from the seeding slates-in which
Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Arkansas Tex
as, Mississippi, and Florida, were present.
The idea OF the meeting was that the states
should 90 out at once and provide fC + the ear.
ly organization of a confederate government.
not later than the 10Th February. This Time
is allowed to enable Louisiana and Texas TO
par icipate. II seemed TO be the opinion that
il we lett here, force, loan, and volunteer bills
might be passed. which would put Mr. Lin
coin in immediate condition for hostilites-
whereas, by remaining i'll our places until the
4th OF March, it is thought we can keep the
hands OF MIR. Buchanan tied, and disable the
republicans from etfrcting any legislation
which will strengthen the hands OF the incom-
ing administration.
The resolutions will be sent by the delega-
ton to the president of the convention. |
have not been able TO find Mr. Mallory this
morning. Hawkins, the member from Flori
da, is in Connecticut. l have therefore thought
it best To send you this copy OF the resolutions
In haste, yours truly, ID. L. YULEE.
Joseph Finegan, Esq, Tallahassee, Florida.
The following were the resolutions -
Resolved, That in our opinion each of the
southern states should, as soon as may be, Sc
cede from the Union.
Resolved, That provision should be made
for convention TO organize contederacy of
the seeding states, the convention TO meet
not later than the 10th OF February, at the
city of Montgomery, in the state of Alabama
Resolved, That in view OF the hostile iegis
latlou that is threatened against the seeding
states, and which may e consummated be
fore the 4th of March, we ask Instructions
whether the delegations are to remain in con.
gross until that date, for the purpose of defeat
ing such legislation.
Resolved, That committee be and is here
by appointed, consisting of Messrs. Davis,
Slidell, and Mallory, to carry out the objects
OF this meeting.

MR.. STOVES DESCRIPTION OF ROME
One of the new chapters of Mrs. Stoves
"Agnes OF Sorrento" contains the following
beautiful description of Rome
"A vision rises upon us from the land of
shadows. We see a wide plain miles and
miles in extent, rolling in soft pillows OF green,
and grded on ali sides by blue mountains,
whose silver crests cleaning i'll the sitting
sunlight tell that the winter yet fingers on
their tops. though spring has decked all the
plain. So SILENT so lonely, so fair is this wav-
ing expanse, with its guardian mountains, it
might be some wild solitude, an American
prairie, or Asiatic steppe, but that in the midst
thereof, on some pillows of rolling land, we
discern city, sombre, quaint. and old-a city
oil dreams and my s,eries-a city OF the living
and the dead. And this is ROME, weird, won.
deriu, ancient, mighty once by physical force
and grandeur, mightier now in physical deca-
dence and weakness by the spell OF potent
moral enchantment,
AS the sun is moving westward the whole
air around becomes flooded with luminous
ness which seems to transtuse itself with per.
vading presence through every part of the
city, and makes all its ruinous and messy age
bright and living. The air shivers with the
silver vibrations of hundreds of bells, and lie
evening glory goes up and down, soft footed
and angelic transfg uring all things. The
COtutuHo VI OnG HuTulD Sttul u swirl
in golden mist, and luminous floods fill the
Coliseum as it stands with its thousand arches
looking out into the city like so many sight.

tender light poHrs up streets dark and i'll paved
into nOSome and cavernous dens called
houses where the peasantry of to-day vegetate
in contented subservience. 1t Eliminates
many dingy courtyard, where the moss is
green on the walls, and gurgling fountains
fall into quaint old scuptured basins. 1t lights
up the gorgeous palaces of Rome's modern
princes, built with stones wreuched from an
cient ruins. 1t streams through wilderness
of churches. each with its Ioilng prayer-bell,
and steals through painted windows into the
taZziing confusion of pictured and gide1
gories that glitter and CLEAN from root and
wall within. And it goes, too, across the Ii
ber up the filthy and noisome Ghetto Here,
hemmed in by ghostly superstition, the sons
Of Israel are growing up without vital day,
like wan white plants in cellars, and the black
mournlul obelisks Of the expresses in the villas
around, il touches with solemn glory. The
castle OF ST. Angelo looks like a great translu
cent, luminous orb and the statues OF saints
and apostles on the top OF ST. John Lateran,
glow as if made of living fire, and Sc IN to
stretch out glorfied hands of welcome to the
pilgrims that are approaching the holy cross,

lies stretched like misty veil around it,

the latitude, as well as the sentiments Of our
neighbors up the harbor, holding out most
tempting inducements to cultivate taste for
that delightful beverage. As matter of eau
ton, however, he urges me to add. that lie
hopes, that if the liquor be Of good quality.
you will not venture to taste it, as he mi"ht
thereby incur much risk in losing it altogether
"a privation which, however agreeable to
yourself, would be attended with serious in.
convenience 10 himself, during the prevalence
of the prevailing 'nor'easters.' S. B."
In publishing this epistle the Journal says
We are glad the bagged rebel is in such
good humor. He evidently feels great deal
more comfortable now than lie has felt for
many months, and hence, from being sullen
and morose, he actually undertakes TO laugh
aud jest. Perhaps he experiences sense of
relief on account of being quartered in a safe
retreat. where hostile bayonets CLEAN not nor
hostile bullets sing and hlstIe; aud yet how
he can manage to employ his time without
WEAKNESS where there are no bridges or locks
or dams to blow up, no railroads TO destroy,
no wagons to seize and confiscate, no horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs to steal, is really more
than we can conceive. We hope HI will en-.
tighten us upon this point in his next epistle.
AS for Roger Hanson's message to us, it shall
of course be attended to. We did promise
Roger some fne whskey, and it is on hand.
1t is already jugged-like Roger himself.
