GOVERNOR Nous STATEMENT.

Mr.. Wright, in bis report to Mr.. Craw-
ford, president OF the Georgia convention

tied for the third time Annapolis, the seal
of government (having failed. while there
on a former visit on the 2lst TO meet the
exccutive), and waited upon Governor
Hicks, and after personal interview and
pretty free interchange Of opinion with
His Excellency, | handed to him the ordi.
nance Of secession with which | was in.
trusted, and also written communication
in which | endeavored to justify and ex.
plain the action of the State of Georgia
and attempted to show that the material
interests of Maryland would be greatly
promoted and advanced by her co-opera.
ton with the seeding States. TO this
communication have received no reply,
although, upon a suggestion of Governor
Hicks that he would favor me with re-
ply at his earliest convenience, | have
waited for two days TO receive such COM
munication as he should be pleased to
make to your body.
ain the absence of any written reply to
my note of the 25th ultimo, l can only give
your honorable body the result of the per-
sOnal interview had with the Governor,
and | regret to say that found him not
only opposed to the secession of Maryland
from the Federal Union, but that if she
should withdraw from the Union he ad =
yised aud would urge her to confederate
with the Middle States in the formation of
central confederacy. He almost in
formed me that he had already, in his
official character, entered into orrespon-
dence with the governors of those States,
including New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Delaware, Virginia, Missouri and
Ohio, with view, in the event of an ulti-
male disruption Of the Federal Union, to
the establishment of such central confed-
eracy.
"He thought our action hasty and i'll. ad-
vised, and not justified by the action of
which we complain, and that we were at
tempting to coerce. Maryland to follow
our example; but he had great confidence
in the Peace Conference then in session in

VERY IMPORTANT
DOCUMENT FOUND,
Efforts Made to Establish a
Central Confederacy.
VIRGINIA AMONG The
STATES.
Active Interest Taken by Maryland's Exec
utive aud Others to Form the FRO
posed New Government.

A document has recently been published
in an obscure portion Of the "Records oil
the War Between the States" which shows
that Just prior to the outbreak OF the con-
lict between the States negotiations were
begun looking to the formation OF Cen
trail -Confederacy, in addition to the South
ern Confederacy, in event of the dIssolu-
ton of the Union. The States included
in these negotiations were Maryland
Pennsylvania. New York, New Jersey,
Delaware, Virginia, Missouri and Ohio
70 most historians the fact that such 2
Confederacy was in contemplation II
surprise, aud for them awaits the task oil
tracing out the beginning, the progress
and the termination Of the negotiations.
The only document which has thus Tar
come to light and in which any reference
to the proposed COniederacy is made Is
the report Of Mr.. Ambrose Il. Wright
dated at Savannah, Ga, March H. Iool'
and addressed to Hon. G.. W. Crawford
president OF the Georgia Convention, by
which Mr.. Wright had been authorized 10
visit Maryland and to induce this state II
possible, TO join the Confederacy OF the
cotton growing States Of the South. Mr.
Wright visited Maryland, and at Annapolis
he had an interview with Governor HICKS,
in which the latter referred to the propos-
ed formation of the Central Coniederacy.
Maryland's action at that time, whether
it would throw her fortunes with the South
or remain in the Union, depended to a
great extent upon the addition OF Virginia.
which had not at the time of Mr.. Wrighfs
visit to Maryland separated from the
Union. The most reasonable explanation
of the termination of the negotiations was
the secession of Virginia few weeks alter
Mr. Wright's visit. With the loss OF Vr-
ginia to the projected Confederacy the
whole scheme evidently fell through.
