The Convention passed the Ordinance for
immdiate Secession by a vote of 84 to 15.
All nrnminent claces are illuminated. Can
nons are being fired, and fireworks displayed
generally. The delegations from South
Carolina and Alabama were Invited to take
seats in the Convention. The efforts to
postpone action were voted down. , The
fifteen opposing votes will sign the ordinance
to-morrow, making it unanimous. The
Capital is full of intense excitement.
N. Y. Times ComaEsroNDiscK. In the
Senate to-day the reading of the Meseage
created a irreat fluttering on tne soumern
aide. The allusion in it, to the gallant Maj
Anderson, was greeted with hisses and ap
clause.
The attempt of Senator Davis of Miss , to
get the letter of the S. C. Commissioners to
the President nlaced on the Senate record,
was admirablv prevented by Senator King,
who denounced their acts as worse than the
treason of Arnold and Burr. The failure
of Senator Davis' proposal to read them, is
regarded as an endorsement of the Presi
dent bv the Senate.
The appointment of a special committee
by the House, to investigate the statements
of the wbole subject, is" regaraea as an en
doraement of the message in that branch
The Chairman, Mr. Howard, ia a 6taunch
Republican.
The whole messace received almost uni
versal commendation from the Union, and
censure from the secessionists. Tie latter
regard the declaration of the intention to de
fend and hold the Federal property, but as
tie declaration of war and coercion.
The whole amount of taxes levied for the
year 1859 and 1860 was 081,188 13. Of
taxes Isviea . for tne xormer yesr, mere re
mains stfll uncollected, some 623,000. As
it is bardie probably any considerable por

We understand that petitions are being
circulated in this and other counties, in
such places as it will do to circulate them,
asking a change in county lines. Thoee
who are opposed to a change in the lines of
Breckenridgfi county, had better be on the
look-out. for "delav8are dangerous." Get
out your remonstrances at once, if you ex
ppct theni to be of any service, for the
county line question will be one of the first
things attended to by the Legislature now in
session. Americus Sentinel.
We like cool things, we do, but the a
bove is altogether too refrigerating for this
wason of the year. It ought to be preserv
ed for the dog days. We would like to hire
the writer of the above next summer for an
ice-crearn freezer.
That portion of the people of this county,
for whom the Sentinel is the mouth-piece
brought out a candidate for the Legislature,
and placed him squarely on the platform of
n. cl;anrr of countv lines. Another

candidate was brought forward, and placed

The last Legislature passed, the objec
tions' of the Governor to the contrary not
withstanding, "An Act to .Prohibit Slave

nntarv servitude, except for crimes, dec.
sun Fri rover nrnh ihited." If. at the lime
of it nassatre. the rinht of property in
slaves legally existed and it is generally
nnroAiA it did the-act is clearly uncon
stitutional; for, in such case, it seeks to im
mediately destroy a legally existing ngntoi
property, without rendering a just compen
sation therefor. If, on the other hand, no
such right existed, then, the act was and is
unnecessary. But, waiving an omer rea

For vears have thick growing clouds been
darkly gathering round the destiny of our
country, until at length, with lurid ligbt-
n nir flashes and deep tbunaer aeionauuns,
the storm, wildly terrific, has burst upon
us. So long as fraternal sentiments pre
vailed among the states, the Republic was
prosperous the people happy. But now,
all is changed. Where Peace prevailed,
now Discord reigns. The Northern States,
with nn or two excemions. have declared
that "a house divided a gaint itself cannot
stand" tbat the Union, consisting of part
free and part slave States, though now so
divided, is not to fall, but is to be made
harmonious, by the termination of an exis
ting irrepressible conflict, in either render
