The vote in this State on the assembling of
a Convention is very close—yesterday the
news from Little Hock indicated the votimr
down of the Convention, while this morning
the reverse is the rumor. We hope that it
has been called.
Navigation of the Mississippi.
The Southern Congress at Montgomery, on
the 22d ult., passed an aet declaring and es
tablishing free navigation upon the Mississippi
river. This conduct, so characteristic of that
liberulty and purity of feeling which is known
to pervade that assembly of statesmen, is
nothing morg' than was to he expected from
them. /
Hon Albert Pike on the Crisis.
A political pamphlet, written with the
vigor peculiar to him, lias just been issued j
by linn. Albert Pike, addressed to tliepeo- j
pie « ' this State. It is by far the ablest doc-!
uniont that has been written on the present!
crisis. His analysis of the causes which have |
produce1 the present divisions of the two sec- j
tions ia made with the sagacity of a true j
statesman. He says, It is the common cry j
that the dissolution of this Union will be the
signal failure of our experiment of free gov
ernment. On the contrary, we are now prov
ing that our institutions are not a failure.
The world never saw such a drama as is now
being enacted in the South. Without anarchy,
without disorder, without interruption of the |
free and ordinary course of the laws, without!
suspension of the habeas corpus act. or troops
to prevent or punish popular excesses, or even
an increase of the police, the separation of a .
groat confederation of sovereign States goes I
quietly on. with all the forms of law. all the j
solemnities of deliberation, all the decorum j
that could characterize the most ordinary pro- j
cecdings in a period of profound peace.”
If war results from it. it will not be by our
fault, but in consequence of Northern avarice i
reluctant to let those who have so long been
its tributaries go free, and resolute to substi-1

forefathers made. The new republic, which
is now being erected by Southern patriots,
the rival in arts and arms of the Northern
government, and surpassing it in its truly
republican institutions, will be the sole evi
dence on this continent of the capacity of
man for self-government.
“TTe have fair millions of slaves. How
many years will elapse before we have ten
millions? These—all—are henceforward to
bj confined to the present Southern States.
No doubt it will he well enough so. during
our lifetime ; but how will it be with our chil
dren ? Are we ready, in order to purchase
quiet and peace for ourselves, to bequeath
sueli a calamity to them, as the perpetual
confinement of slavery within its present lim
its would be? Shall we. to avoid a present
danger, and that we may be permitted to fold
our hands and sleep in dishonor, devise to
them this accursed legacy? I. for one, will
not consent to it. Better were treason against
an unrighteous government, than treason
against our own children !” He argues that

plant new States. “It is God's law; and the
attempt to stay its operation has already shiv
ered the I'nion. as one shivers a vessel of fra
gile glass.'1
From the result of his of observations at
the Federal Capital, Mr. Pjke affirms most
emphatically that which we have rcpeatedlv
and earnestly urged upon fair readers, viz :
that the delay of the border States encourages
the Republicans, and that as soon as Lincoln
is inaugurated he cannot help hut attempt to
coerce the seceding States, if the border still
delay. He says : “Emboldened by the hesi
tation of Tennessee, Kentucky. \ irginia and
Maryland, we can see that the Republicans
become more insolent, and speak in bolder
tones of rebellion and coercion. Titkrsites
Hale talks bravely; Lincoln objects to any
compromise; and the very fact that any States
have seceded is ignored. The names of their
members are still called in the House. Blame
South Carolina as much as you will, the atti
tude of the North, and all the acts of the Re
publican party go very far to prove, even to
those most reluctant to believe it, that the
separation of the Southern States has not oc
curred a day too soon.”

myth CONGRESS—Second Session.
Washington, February 19.
Senate.—A proviso was added to the
clause concerning Treasury Notes, that the
time for issuing be limited to June 30, 1862. j
An amendment increasing notes to fifty dol- j
lars, instead of twenty, was agreed to after a
sharp debate between Chandler and Clark in
favor, and Clingman against—twenty-two
against twenty.
The tariff bill was taken up, and a duty of
forty per cent, was placed on all wines. A
long discussion on the amendment placing the ;
duty of .sixteen cents, ad valorem, on wool !
worth less than twenty-five cents was lost—
nineteen against twenty-three.
31 r. Bingham offered an amendment, plac- j
ing a duty of five per cent, on all wool under
eighteen cents.
Mr. W ilsun argued against it. as injurious '
to the manufactures, and of no benefit to wool
growers. The amendment was adopted—
twenty-three against twenty.
31 r. Powell offered an amendment, repeal
ing the fishing bounties. Lost.
O O
Some other amendments were adopted,
when the bill was reported to the Senate.
Adjourned.
Washington, February 20.
Senate.—31 r. Doolittle presented the cre
dentials of Timothy L. Howe, Senator elect
from W isconsin.
On motion of 3Ir. Wade, the House bill to
authorize the Postmaster-General to discon
tinue mail service in States where it is liable
to be interfered with, was taken up.
Mr. Green moved to add that the Secretary
of the Treasury he directed to prevent any
attempt to collect revenue in such States.
31 r. Douglas suggested that this was nut
the proper place to offer this amendment.
31 r. Green said the hill was a direct attempt
to strike at States claiming to he out of the
Union. Is there insurrection in any State, or
obstruction to the mail service? Even if there j
was, the Postmaster-General or President has
no power to interfere unless asked by the
Governors of these States.
31 r. Hemphill offered the following:
Whekkas, several States have withdrawn
from the Union, and the laws of the United
States are no longer enforced, therefore
Jitso/red, That the Postmaster-General he
directed to discontinue the postal service in
said States, and make arrangements with the
governments of the same for inter-postal com
munication therein.
3Ir. Green withdrew his amendment.
31 r. Clingman said lie believed those States
were out of the Union, and foreign States as
much as Great Britain, anil thought the mail
service ought to be stopped. He wanted to
alter the bill and strike out insurrection and
insert as a reason for the discontinuance, the
secession of certain States.
Mr. Fitch suggested, say a refusal to ac
knowledge the laws, so as not to recognize
secession. Also, strike out the words “postal
laws maintained." so as to give no reason to
employ force.
Mr. Olingman accepted.
Mr. Mason said the bill was a declaration of
the House, of insurrection on the part of those
States. Jlc trusted that they would look upon
this question as it is—one of the most grave
ones ever before the country, lie said the
facts were, those States had confederated;
had a Congress in session with as much power
as we possess. Vet the bill calls it insurrec
tion, and assumes that there is no empire;
but that the Federal power is still inexistence
in these States. lie proceeded to argue
against anything which plunged the country
in a civil war.
At 12 o’clock the tariff bill was taken up.
The committee's amendments were adopted,
except a few on which separate votes were
taken. That on reducing the duty on sugar,
and placing it on tea and coffee, was agreed to.
The amendment placing five p^r cent, on wool
umw carried by twenty-*1* *a mnfltwui 'I
amendment for lifteen per cent. <nl valorem
on books, periodicals and watches, was
carried.
Mr. Lane offered his amendment, which
substitutes essentially the tariff of 1 *40.
Mr. Hale moved that the stationery and
paintings of American artists to be free, but a
duty often per cent on all others. Adopted.
A duty of live per cent, on copper ore was
adopted.
Washington, February 20.
House.—The House resumed the conside
ration of the Volunteer bill, reported from the
Military Committee.
Mr. Boeock said he considered the passage
of the bill a foregone conclusion. He opposed
it in consequence of the effect its passage will
produce on the peace and prosperity of the
country, lie opposed it above all, and more
than all. in consequence of tlie policy it indi
cates. if it does not in the strongest degree
; initiate. He yesterday characterized the bill
as a declaration of war. and having since care
fully read it, he reiterated tlie remark. He
I continued at some length, saying the Union
was already divided, and thought the border
States should join the gulf States, to presen e
; whatever hope may have been cherished of a
j peaceful solution; it will-be diminished by the
passage of the bill.
The report of the Committee of Thirty
| three was taken up.
Mr. Vallandingham favored conciliation
and compromise, and advocated the adoption
of his proposition, dividing the Union into
four sections.
The Senate’s amendments to the Navy bill
was taken up.
Mr. Garnett offered a proviso that the new
sloops-of-war shall not be used to execute the
! Federal laws in any seceding State.
A long debate ensued, in which Mr. Stan
I ton took it for granted that (he next adminis
tration would not recognize the constitutional
i right of secession, and will be treated as rev
olution.
Mr. Garnett spoke several times, stating
that Mr. \, incoln, both in his speeches and
private conversation, had foreshadowed a co
ercive policy, and intends to make war on the
South.
Mr. Anderson, of Kentucky, asked Garnett
if he was for the Union.
Mr. C iarnett—1 am for the immediate seces
sion of \ irginia. [Hisses and applause.]
Several motions were made to clear the
galleries. The chairman cheeked the demon
strations.
Mr. Anderson did not believe in the right
to secede, and was for the Union, the Consti
tution, and the enforcement of the laws as
long as they were in the Union. [Applause.]
Mr. Morse advocated the Senate’s amend
ment.
Mr. Garnett’s amendment was rejected.
The Senate’s amendment was rgrecd to—one
hundred and eleven against eighteen. Recess
till 7 o’clock.
During the evening session, Mr. Ruffian, of
North Carolina, made a strong secession
speech. Adjourned.

South Carolina is not the only State
which does not pay its mail expenses. The

NO CONVENTION.
- /,
Our Tennessee exchanges, as they come ^
hand, nearly all bear evidence of popular
dissatisfaction at the ^1C Eon\ ention.
We give a couple of extracts from the columns
of <wo influential papers. The Clarksville
Chronicle thus talks out:
“ The signal defeat of the Convention has
taken us somewhat by surprise. Even where j
the immediate secessionists were supposed to
be predominant—in Memphis, for instance
the result lias been the same. W e regret its ^
defeat, not because we favor immediate seces
sion, but because we fear that the failure to j
call a Convention, taken in connection with
Andy Johnson’s speeches, may have the effect
to strengthen the backbone of the Repubii- ,
cans, and increase the difficulties ot a settle
merit.”
The Columbia Herald, the leading paper in
Maury couuty, says :
11 Upon its face the late election is an em
phatic and unmistakable declaration, on the
part of the people of Tennessee, that they !
are willing to submit to the rule of Mr. Lin
coln, Chicago platform, negro equality, coer
cion, or what not. And that, too, without
any guarantees whatever. 4?uch is the inter
pretation put upon it by the Abolitionists;
hence they are firing cannon and building ;
bonfires, and exulting with exceeding great
joy; such is the interpretation put upon it
by the citizens of the Southern Republic;
hence, some are heaping curses loud and deep
on Tennessee; all are filled with sorrow and
regret, and many are humiliated and cha
grined, for Tennessee lias many sons in those
States. Are the Abolitionists right ? .Vie
the Southern people light • ttoes J eiuicssce
mean to be abolitionized ? AV e answer, no .
Our people have been deceived—misled. Had
they foreseen the effects of the vote they
cast last Saturday, never would it have been
gi\en.”
NEW ORLEANS AS IT IS.
The New Orleans Picayune speaks of the
present aspect of business ar.d trade in that
city as follows :
*• The sounds of busy, thriving industry
are heard on every hand. Our stores and
warehouses are plentifully stocked with goods,
wares and merchandise. The commerce o!
our noble port remains unobstructed. Ships,
and other sail vessels, steamships and steam
boats, laden with valuable cargoes, are contin
ually arriving and departing. The products
of the great valley, and importations from
abroad nour in unon us. Mercantile trails
actions, on that extensive scale lor which this
city is noted, are continually occurring. '1 lie
vast extent of our magnificent levee, so admi
rably adopted for and properly dedicated to
commercial purposes, is fully occupied. *
* * * - * During the pre
sent winter the habitual detractors of New
Orleans had a fine opportunity to display
their malicious ingenuity, and, in justice to
them, we must say that they have labored
with a zeal worthy of a better cause, i heir
inventions, some of them very absurd, with
a view to our injury, have been numberless,
and therefore we cannot begin to recapitu
late them. The task would be too formid
able and too nauseous. Since Louisiana se
ceded from the Federal government, the
whole country has swarmed with rmmrth
in reference to this city and her citizens,
all evidently designed to deter the people
from coining here. With timid and not
well-informed persons, these, of course, in
some instances, have been too successful.
Nevertheless, we have had crowds of visi
tors this winter, and still they come. '1 hey
find our commerce unobstructed, as we lie
fore said, lively, and on as large or larger
scale than ever.
MARSHAL HINDERS ON THE CRISIS.
Marshal Rynders made a speech in New
York the other day. Wc quote from it a
single passage, which will show where the
Marshal is :
‘ True Democrats at the North will never
fight against the South. If it is treason, let
them indict me for it. or if it is misprison of
treason, let me be doubly indicted. The
Democrat who would fight against the South
is more than half a Republican. If a Demo
cratic company volunteers to go South to sub
jugate the South. 1 say to them, you are trai
tors to ; o tr (0 mtry, and 1 trust that the de
stroying angel will pass over you in the night
time, like he did over the host of Sennache
rib, and that the ri.-ing sun will look down
upon the upturned faces and fixed, glaring
eyes of your corpses.”
A voice—u You area political demagogue.”
Rynders—“ 1 won’t go on till that man is
put out. Are you Afraid to put him out.you
d—d cowardly set?” Man is put out. Three
cheers arc given for Rynders, who proceeds :
Who brought this trouble on our land ? Not
urselvcs. We had no hand in dissolving the
l uiou. We did all we could to avoid these
troubles. Rut if war comes, and 1 have to
fight, I will fight to the death for South
| Carolina.”
Southern Confederacy to re Recog
nized.—The following letter is from Colo
nel Ilennocque, a Senator of the French
Empire, to l’rof. Dubos, of South Carolina:

sion of South Carolina struck every one
here with surprise, and I must say it was
at first received with somewhat of a dis
dainful sentiment. But a reaction has tak
en place since in the public mind, in con
sequence of the explanation given by 31 r.
Gaillardct, the former editor of the Courier
des Etats Unis, of New \crk, and of your
correspondence, that was published and com
mented upon by several newspapers. We
do not see why South Carolina should not
have the right to secede from the Union as
well as several States of Italy have done
with their government. You may rely that
the policy of the Emperor is not only to sym
pathize with oppressed nations, but also to
prevent intervention against them ; and that
he will recognize your Government as soon as
it is regularly organized and constituted.
- m ♦ m
Lincoln’s Cabinet.—From all that we
can learn, the only Cabinet appointments
which have yet been made by the President
elect arc Mr. Seward and 31 r. Bates, the head
and the tail of his ministerial establishment.
The body of it still remains to be chosen..
Meantime there is a desperate movement
afloat among the Republican radicals to get
Seward overboard; for they regard him as the
unfaithful prophet Jonah, who may other
wise sink the ship. The radicals are also
moving heaven and earth to keep Cameron, a
conservative, compromise man. out, and to
get Gov. Chase in. who is a full believer in
the Chicago platform. Thus the President
elect hangs fire, and he may be compelled to
resort to the Peace Conference at Washing
ton to compromise the present squabble among
his own household. [N. Y. Herald.

Richard Ten Broeck, the noted racing
man, is at present in New Orleans. The
Picayune understands that he has been add

by the purchase of several new and good

long hear favorably.
■nxo3f PEXSA COLA.
* Fort Baraxcas, Feb. 12.
Last Saturday another bearer of dispatches
arrived from Washington, and demanded a
passport and conveyance to Fort Pickens. He
was at once sent over by Col. Lomax, but the
character of his dispatches is not yet known.
Some two hours after his arrival, a signal flag
was raised upon the Fort and a heavy gun
fired. At intervals through the day the gun
was fired, hut lor what purpose we could not
learn. The next morning the masts of the
Wyandotte came in sight, and immediately
after another gun was fired from the Fort. |
the “stars and stripes” put at half-mast, and,
although daylight,. a rocket sent up. 1 he
Wyandotte came secretly into the harbor, and
under a flag of truce, run up to the Navy
yard, and a little to the Fort, where she is
now lying. Nothing new appears this morn
ing, except the smoke of several fires upon
Fort Pickens, and two extra derricks and
sling-carts, for the purpose of mounting heavy
guns. They seem to keep busy over there,
and mount two or three guns a day. Now
they have more than double the number than
when we came, and in addition, two heavy
Cocorn mortaas. [Cor. Columbus 1 imes.

Tiie submissionists show tliier pluck by
abusing the South. That, however, is a very
poor sign of spirit, as it is very doubtful
whether they would venture to do even that
if they were nut backed by the North.
