He says that offers of volunteers ai.i coming in from all quarters of the South, an.l that a distinguished officer of New York city haa volunteered his command 10 assist iv Bfhtiac thehettieeof s*mtb Uarolina. As the State does not at present happen to be at war, illegal lain vol aa leers will be duly informed when their services wiil be needed. Ths QoveTßor does aot look lie a man who will seek a light, but whew oiloe in ior it his friends sny he is one of the very last men who will yield. He is one of the pillars of tbe at. Iv Church in this State, immensely wealthy, and ia represaated as not caring a iig for an v tnmg but the welfare of the people and the honor uud integrity-of the Palmetto Stale. The character seeoadiß tinte to tiie Gover nor appears to be tha venerable Edmand liuf tin, ot Virginia, who, witb bis long flowing Whits loCBa sad Bis blue cocxade, is the ob served of all observer*. As soon as he had cast bis vote iv Virginia for Tresident, Mr. RufUn came on here. He has the pnvilege of the floor in both Houses, and appears to be iv- Ceseaai la his labors for secession. What is most remarkable, ihe people of South Carolina do not desire to have the Na tional Capital of the new Conlederacy within her borders. They say that Uie possession of and scramble for office will only tend to cou t.iminaie her people. The knowingones name Atlanta, G.-i., as the place at winch the llrst Soutnern Cougrei-e will assemble. That such a body will meet ere long there seems to be uo doobt here. No people could be more deter mined than those of South Carolina. Times look gloomy, indeed. The age.us for Northera Uousee are not selling enough to pay their lin tel bills, and many have already lelt the Sou Hi i->r (Bear homes. MR. YANCET ON SECESSION. Mr. Yancey spoke at Montgomery, Alabama, ou Saturday last. He Began by iwiablishlng the right «-t a "sovereigu" State to withdraw from the Union when the terms ol the con tract were broken, arguing tha.. ali those Si.-ttes which had made laws obstructing the action of the Fegittre Slave law had already nullified the bond ol union. He advised a convention of alt the Gulf States, to the end that after a separate State withdrawal, a new Union might be formed, aud a Sonthem Re public, lie stated that the border Stales would not immediately secede, but would actus a bul wark to those further South, and that they had bjund themselves to permit uo Federal army to cross their territory. He stated, fur thermore, that ihe present Administration, conceding the right of individual States to se cede,would i-ike no offensive measures, and that tue unit Congress, having a Democratic majority, would render such measures impos sible Oil the part ot Mr. Lincoln, lie slated that he would rather die m><u become a slave to the North. He (iefi~d the bayonets of ihe coercive officer, and closed with an announce ment of the South Carolina Convention for January 8, and the resignation of Toombs.— Theentbnsfaem ofthe meeting was unques tionable, ami if the State were to be controlled by the feelings of its capital, secession would b-i inevitable. THK FLAGS. From the Charleston papers of Saturday, we take the following items of interest: The Hags are increasing bravely. In fact, so rapidly have represeatatic ns of the Ftl metto and "L me Stars" made their appear ance on our thoroughfare.-, that we have been unable to keep ap with tuein. Yesterday morning a new one was raised by tbe Mercu ry, it consists of a blue ground, with the motto, "S.-ntherii Confederacy," in let ters, and one star for each ol tbe Soutuern States, it has attracted universal attention, and ia emblematical 01 tbat lor which every true Southern patriot must earnestly strive.— A haiMtsoßM Hag bus b.-eu raised on the tower of the South Carolina Railroad Depot. Three gans were fired la honor ot the occasion. It is a white field, with a Palmetto tree, sur mounted by a single star, the haroiug.-r of the Southern constellation soon to appear iv the political firmament. The Eagle Fire Compa ny have also '-flung to the breeze" a flag, oin playiag three large stars, and bearing the mwtto Semper Petrous. Mr. G F. March.-iut, of tbe Caarlestou Theatre, Baa tin g out a ban ner, made out ot ihe Sues! tabric. It is com posed of three stripes, blue, white and red.— The blue and red ground each bears a star — Un 'he white stands a Palmetto, resting on two bales of Cotton. Above Uie tree is a brilliant star, which represents South Caro lina. Underneath the tree is the Hollowing apothegm, Dieuet Nos Droits. The scarlet cockade and steel button has bo. n unanimously .adopted by the. Edgefiel 1 Riflemen, and is now a pledge by tbem to re sist BlasK Republican rule m or out of South Carolina. Tiie motto is, "lilood and Steel "— a reliable cure lor present troubles. We noticed, yesterday, quite a number of gentle men wearing a plain blue silk ribbon ou the coat tappet. The Palmetto tree, ttie lone star and thecoiled ratilesnuke, appear io gold upon tbe face of the badge. A train of about twenty drays loaded with cotton, started from the South Carolina Rail road Depot early Thursday morning, on tbe way to the wharf, the head -of each animal decked with a Palmetto Hag, and the owner of the days leading the van. It had quite a ujvel appearance,and attracted much atteu tlOli. THK PRESS. "There is no retreat," says the Sumpter (S. C.) Dispatch, "butiu submission,and submis sion now is rum and dishonor. While we write this article the Colonial Hag, with its crescent and lone star, k- floating gaily at our office door, aud the sentiments and resolves Wbicb that Bag indicates, lie deep within our h som, and pant for utterance and action.— Oh. shades of McDuftie, and Hamil'on, unci Hayne, aud Calhoun ! Oh, shades of the mighty ! this is theday ye long desired to see— tbe day of deliverance and of jubilee! The New York Tribuue professes to be will ing to let the South go out of the Union. It says: Sill we say, in all earnestness and good faith, whenever a wtiolu section of this Re public—whether a half, a third or only a fourth—shall truly desire and demand a sep aration from the residue, we shall as earnestly lavcr such separation. If the fifteen slave States, ar erea the eight cotton States alone, shall quietly, decisively say to the rest, "We prefer to be henceforth separate from you," we shall insist that they be permitted to go iv p<sace. W r ar is a hideoue necessity at best,and a civil conflict—B war of estruuged and embit tered fellow-countrymen—is the most hideous of all wars. Whenever ihe people of tbecot toti States shall have definitely and decisively made up their minds to separate from tbe res. ot us. wh shall urge that the proper steps be taken te give full effect to their decision. Let ns, iheu, have no reciprocal taunts, re proaches, nor menaces; uo bitterness; no pas sion. If the South really prefers to "go it alone," we urge that the North should not, and we believe that she will not, undertake to pass Judgment upon the validity or sufficiency of law reasons alleged for such alienation, if the Union be really oppressive or unjust to ihe South—nay, if the South really believes it so—we insiAi that a decent self respect should impel the North to »ay, "We thick you utterly raisiaken; but you have a right to judge for yourselves; so go if you will." Nothing so much tends to confirm the South in her mista ken notion that the North is eniichedat ber coot by th*t Ui.ioii, as the sordid, merceuary t-ruuuda on which the Union it too commonly glorified at the North as tbe source aud seal of our material prosperity Bad progress. Th a Is as ttlse as it is mean. Our commercial deal ings with the coi ton region are no more ad vtui tagfous to oue side than to the other, and they are not at all dependent on the U ion — If the South werw to feet up for herself, she would still havecotton. rice, tobacco and augitr to *-eit aiid would want to exchange them lor corn bacon, hardware, g.\>f>rif» aud dry goods, she would trade with us ju#t *.ssbe does now, orovided she could do better here than elsed where • and, as she could not then expect us to catch her runaway slaves, nor to prmeiid to idolize her "domestic institutions." »he would Lrobaoiy *»*• fewer grievances to irritate her, iewar fancied sTraWfj to mjreas, than now.

A committee was ap pointed to draft resolutions for a future meet ing. __ [TBLEQBAPUIC Dl9r ATCHKB ] Southern I mum, n ial « onvrntion. Atlanta, Nov. l:i.—The Southern Con vention tailed To meet yesterday. No delegates made iheir appearance. This, however, la ow ing lo the Convention movements throughout the South. Oeorgia. Macon, Nov. 15—The Joint Committee on the state of the Republic agreed unanimously tv report a bill for calliug a convention of the people, with a preamble recommending resist ance. It is understood that G-ov. Brown, A. H. Stephens, H. V. Johnson, Linton Stephens, T. R. Cobb, and all other leading men, have en dorsed th« bill, and that it wiil pass unani mously. The legislators differ somewhat on the mode ol resistance, but the immediate se cession men have a large majority. A. H. Stephens spoke at Milledgevillo last night. He favored the State Conveution de manding of the States which have nullified the fugitive slave law to repeal their acts, and upon their refusal, winch was certain, then tbe South could go out with clean hands. The crowd called for Mr. Jackson, of Sa vannah, ami a sharp diecnseion followed, Mr. Jscksoa speaking strongly for immediate se cession. Important from Alabama. MoBTOOBtBBT, Nov. I(l.—The disunion feel ing is on the increase. The people are more _uiet than ever before known, but all are de eermined to act. The State Convention of the Baptists-,a very large and inflneatial religious denomination in thin State, met ou the 13'b, aud resolved unanimously ia iavorof disnnioß. They i-eiit their resolutions to Governor Moore, who pro nounce it the most importaat disunion rno\e ment yet made in Alabama. The* contest between the co-operation men and the dumniouists has nut yet commenced. It will begin as soon as candidates are put fort!i in the. different counties. It is ihougbu here that South Carolina will undoubtedly secede on the Hth of December, and tbis add* #reat strength to the secession feeling iv A interna. 'i...i-- ut Charleston, Chabxbstob, Nov. 18.—Preparatioiia are steadily progressing for the Convention- There will be but little eonllict of interest in the election of delegates. Iv most districts one ticket ii nly will be ruu, and every man on it w ill be pledged to vote lor Instant action.— It is a curio us circumstia.ee that many of tbe delegates cli osen will bit ministers of tue Cios t.-l. Mr. Orris a candidate for the Convention, ai.d pledges bimself to vote for Immediate State action, Mr. Kcitt is also a candidate, and will cert vinly be elected. The reports telegraphed North relative to the Suite bank;' about to suspend, are utterly wiihout fonndation. The strength of the banks was never greater. Their reluctance to ct'th even sight cotton drafts i n the North, as heretolore was usual, has forced shippers to demand specie in exchange for cotton consign ments, and g.*ld is daily received iv large quantities from the North a.'il England. Cavalry ar.d infantry are la the streets to diy drilling in large numbers, Each company halted and saluted the immem c Hag of South ern Confederacy floating from the Mercury office. There are illuminations to-riij."»it in various portions of the city in honor of t "io encourag ing news from Florida. The laiest private intelligence nveived here warrants the belief that every <jai.' State will certainly secede. E Iward liuftin arrived in Charleston to-day, anil was enthusiastically received. Tbe banks are wailing the action of .-Phila delphia and New York. Specie con tniues to arrive freely. Tuere is no trouble on tl*at *core.

Tbe peopie here are unanimous against submission to Lincoln's election.— From all parts of the State we have most cheering accounts. Party names and issues have been dropped iv tbe face of the daugei s which threaten to overwhelm ns utiuer Black Republican rule. Our people will present to the insolent foe a united and determined front. Will it not be a glorious spectacle to see Flo rida standing shoulder to shoulder with her gallant Palmetto sister, iv defence of our common Constitutional lighbs .

Resolutions were unanimously passed, ex pressing a determination to resist Lincoln's and endorsing the actiouoi South Carolina. Ihe people are entirely united on these issues.

Wood, the "Yaukee" school teacher, whose ar rival at Boston from South Carolina was noticed Saturday. The facts are as follows: There cume passengers on the South Caro lina Mr Wm. C. Wood aud Mr. Blodgett, a prftlucp dialer. Mr Wood, it appears, weut South for the purpose of teaching. He was a graduate of Harvard College. He was destined for Four-Mile Branch, Baruwell District, South Carolina. He took passage iv tbe cars from Charleston for his destination, iv com pany with Mr Blodgett. Ou the way, inad vertently, he expressed his preference for Lin coln as President. Au individual was no ticed, intently listening to his conversation, aud at the next stopping place, where the cars tarried tor three quarters of au hour, he was waited upon by a committee, who questioned him as to bis politics, but he declined to give them any satisfaction. Mr. Wo.d thougfit no more of the question ing to which he had been mi hjt'cted. and con tinued on his journey. Ou arriving at "F in Mile Branch" the place was found to Le ter ribly excited, a telegraphic dUpaih having probably informed the citizens ol the opinions of the new comer among them. He was mi mtdia'ely waited upon by a committee, who told him th Hit would be impossible to per mit his stay iv tbe place, aud advising bim to leave as his br-stcour-e. They, however, did not insist on his immediate departure, arid of fered to defray the entire expeuse of his rt turu io the city. Mr. Wood concluded thut he would ratract bis steps wltboatd#lay, *** experienced no insults in he cars on the way to Charleston, except from a fe* rough customers, as an offi cer bud been provided to protect him. Ou reacbiug that city, at the suggestion of frieuds he occupied apartments iv the Guard House, the iiight previous to the sailing of tbe steam er that b**|iig the safest retreat during the ex isting excitement.

Thk Romance of Rascality.—g 1,200 worth of jewelry has been taken trom a gentleman's dwelling-house, in New York, in broad day, while the family were ia another apartment, Soon after the robbery was made known to the police, they arrested ihree young me n, named Joseph Schallis, Samuel Mossop, and Frank Swazey, who were remanded tor a nearingat some future time. Tbe subsequent efi'oiis of the officers to ferret out the guilty parties and recover the stolen jewelry led to the discovery ot a regularly organized band of thieves, who have their rendezvous in a small obscure room in a stable in S>*coiid street, E. D. The band consists of ten members, who are regularly enrolled and banded together for stealing — Tbey havea written constitution and by-laws tuid a set ot rules, (ieiluing each man's duties and privileges, and the obligation ol each to ward the other. A number of well planned schemes for committing larcenies were writ ten ob t, Oneof tbeir favorite plans ior pro curing information regarding houses they in tended to visit, was for one or more members of the club logo round with i .rniture polish, and offering it for sale at soma houses of re apsc'abVs appearance, they would propose to exhibit the qualities of the article by renovat ing any piece of furniture in the house that the mmates were willing to have experiment ed upon. In this way'hey would pick up a ?reat amount of information that tbey would sub-equeiitly turn to good account. A num ber of citizens w-Uo have been robbed within tbe peat few months can now recall to mind the previous visit of a vender ot furniture polish. Five of this baud—including the three already named—have been taken iuto cusiody and committed for examination. Tub Chin-ess Ruiiikls and tub Chinbsb Trapk —Com.

Trade was thus stopped, and no improvement could be expected until the rebels are expelled from the great cities wbicb sustain the business of Shinghai.

Xrmi for the Volunteers.—Wft are glad to la form ibe volunteer infantry of tbe State that SjOM amooth-bore percussion muskets, pur chased by the Commissioners from tbe U S. Government, have b~en received at the Armo ry ii> this city. Exiienenced .Ulcers of the regular service consider this a belter weapon for volunteers than the rifled musket. Al though lta range is less, and its accuracy when flrii.it at smalt objects is not so great as the rifled inii-ke'. in the hands of a good rifle shot, yet, in tiring at masse* at ordinary ranges and with unpractised troops, it is more > fftctent. Inasmuch as it can be loaded witb more rapid ity, does not foul or lead, carries both bail and buckshot, and is uot so delicate and so liable to get out of order as the Minnie musket. Be this as it may, however, It was the only reliable musket tbe Commissioners could get, and they bad no option but to take it. The Government will not sell Minnie raaskets. there being no law authorizing such sale, and no private arms company can get ready to manufacture rifled muskets wbicb will stand tbe Government proofs, sooner than it can be done ai tbe Armory here. We are informed that requisition has been made on the War Department for l.fHJuraore of the smooih-bure percussiou mu«k>*i, and it i» supposed that there are about 4,uou vow iv the bands of the volunteers. We shall soon ha\e. therefore, 111,0011 of them. Hi.ihki flin' lock muskets, of the United Sates make, equal Ui quality to tbe others, and witb lln.ii. iv ii.-.'ii. have been reserved by the Commission ers ;rjui the arms sold to Mr. Andersou, until o.'jot of the new rifle mnsket have been munu tactiued. These reserved muskets are au. has tbe Army used iv Mexico, and are considered, by high authority, as uot at all inferior to the percussion musket. A contract has been mad-for tbe requisite accoutrements, ".no sets of winch have been delivered, and tbe delivery will progre-8 at ibe rue of at least 9W sets a week until the wants of tbe voiuuieer-i are supplied. The State, therefore, Ii neatly ready to send infantry to the Held. 11. addition to thirty or forty bronze field pieces already possessed by tto State, the Com missioners have purchased tbiruc.'i iron-ritled ileld guns of the Parrott patent, \jvith IUO rounds of the Keid shell for each, acd have obtained b> requisition six twelve pouuderr, uavy howitzers, oue of them rifled. Tbeec last are not only provided with navy car riages, which enable tbem to be put in'boats and used la onr creeks and rivers, but will soon have army carriages, and will constitute a lorinidable batter.v oi mountain howitzers. f iiey canuot be transported on horses, but will be light enough to tr-iverse our mountain re gions with Base. Without counting the large number ot smooth-bore irou pieces of various calihre in our Arsenals, we have at k'-ist sixty BfOBBS and iifled field-pieces and ho witzers, and can equip ten batteries of six. or fifteen of four ptsesß each. A contract has been made lor 3 (MM shells and shrapneil, beside.' those pur chased with the Farrott gurs. Arrangements have been made to manufac ture btomun fuzes here, and to pure!. ;lfl * fric tion primers lor the artillery, and ba.'ls arid percussion caps for the infantry. And, as we have heretofore stated, five hundred barre.' B of Dupout powder have beeu purchased a. 'd sored in magaziues built for the purpose here and at Lexington. Nor have the cavalry been neglected. Two thousand new sabres have beeu purchased, aad one thou*aud old ones, of excellent temper, have beeu cut and Bcabbarded. One thousand revolvers,ot the pat tern used in the English army, known as tiie Dean k Adams pistol, have also been bough?, aud are vow iv the Armory undergoing s. final inspection before being paid for. Two hundred light artillery sabres, of the United States pattern, have been bought, and thet-e, as well as the cavalry sabres, were inspected uniter a special order procured from the War Department, by the United Suites inspecting ollicers,aud passed all ot the Government tenia. From itu foregoing statement it will oe seen ihat we car., at this preseut time, arm effi ciently about twenty-five thousand men of ail Bfaas. Thisisabuit IJ_ percent otoureutire population—v proportion not inferior to the s'nnding armies of tiie great military Powera ol Europe, and a force greater than the Stute Couid keep iv tbe field. We learn, also, ihat the model of the new Virginia musket has been deterasinsd on, after coaaaitatioa with ih»f lid nance officers of tbe regular service, with our Master Armorer, Mr. Adams, aud wub Mr. Durum, ttie lute Master Armorer ot the great Enfield estab lishment, in England, and after experiments at Lexington with the U. S. Minnie musket ana the Enfield musltet. The Virginia musket will be a combinati a of the U S rifled BBBSket and th« British En field ro asset, and it is hoped wili possess the advantages of both. The model is vow ben.g eoastracted at Springfield, under Mr. Adams' supervision, and by special permission of th. War Department, the Slate detraylug ths cost. When completed it will be used in get ling up iho machinery for our Armory here, lv determining lUe model arm, ihe Com missioners were necessarily obliged to decide upon llie relative merits of tnuzzie-loadii g and hrwevjß load ins arms for ialaatry. Wish ing to be governed by practical experience in this matter, and not hy theory, they applied tv the War Department, through our Senatoi s, Messrs. Mason and Hunter, for information as io the usages of the European armies in this particular, and leariiej from the Ordnance Bureau tbat so far as tbe Department was in formed, ail tbe great arm lea of Europe ad hered to the muzzle-loading musket for in fantry. Ihey then instituted a ourse of experi ments at Lexingtou, under the charge of Mrtj Colston, to teet the relative merits ot Baoaale and breech-loading muskets, and the reßult was a report from him, recommending most decidedly au adheieuce to the muzzle-loadicg musket. , Hustings Court. —ThisCourlof Justices con cluded its November term on Saturday !»»:, after disposing ot the following cases, to wit : Donald McKt-nzie, indicted for s raisdt roeans, nolle prossequi entered by the advice of the Court, on the defendant's paying cost.

Miss Caroline Rlcbii gs played ihe par', of M>d ira, unci Mr. Richings tha- of ihe Mirqnf* Posl liipo Th«» plot of in* piece is «*u*assi in tricate, bat lie novelty renders H la ere* Hag. The acting aud riugiug of Miss Richings was excel leu l, as it always ia ; and Miss Kate New ton and Mrs. Dellar are also de*ervii.g of compliment for the manner iv which they sus tained tbeir part*. With regard tv tbe scenery, we heard but one expres*iou of upiniou ; It is superb. The view of Veuica by moonlight may be particnlarly mentioned. Everything paeeed off as well as could be expected oa th* first production of a piece combii.ing such a variety of mechanical effects and ao many changes of costume, until theclose of the tbiid act. The cnrtain now remained down until the patience of the audience was well uigh ex hausted, and the orchestra strove In vain to quell the noisy roanlfestatioi.s in tbe second war. At length tbe b II sounded, and the rla* of the curtain disclosed the reason of the de lay. Mr Ricbings was observed t<> move as if iv great pain, and coming forward with diffl culy, be informed the audience that at the close cf the previous »eer?e he received a very severe injury in one of bie limbs, yet be would go on if it wa* desired, and do the best be Could, though he might have to sit down. Im mediately there was a general cry of "Stop the play." Mr Richings, however, made another attempt to proceed with tv- part; but stag gering against .oie of the wing*, he w:i. caught and borne to aaeat by Mr. Meldrnm, who (ben came forward aud informedthe andteuce ihat it would be impossible for Mr. Kichmg* to go on. This ua.ortunate termination wumu.-n regretted, aad great sympathy was expressed for Mr. R In his mißiortuue. We were gratified to learn yesterday tbat the accident would not prevent Mr. Richings from appearing in the piece tonight. Tbe "Magic Bridal" will be repeated, ana we en tertulu uo doubt tbat it will go off in first-rate style. Lady Jane Franklin, relict of Sir John Franklin, arrived in this city ou Friday last, from Washington, accompanied by her niece. Miss Cracroft and a female servant, and took .ip-irimei. is at tbe new Spotswood Hotel. Sbe is a pler«ant lady of bo or To years, ar.d of pmall stature.
