‘THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: THURSDAY. .....--:-+-++- January 3, 1961. ————————————————— Spirit of the Morning Press. The Intelligencer speaks of the recommendation of the Richmond Enquirer to invade Washington ‘as nothing more than the exaggeration of polit- feal rhetoric,’ and says that no armed force, either for preventing or insuring the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln, would be tolerated by our citi- zeus The Constitution is not pleased with the speech of Senator Baker yesterday, and says, “his matter and manner are alike inferior.” The Republican, under the head of “Revolv- tionary @roceedings In Maryland,’ notices the revolutionary project announced yesterday in the editorial columns of ‘the Baltimore Sun, the organ of the Maryland disunionists.”’ — +20 —— To-morrow will be observed in this city asa day of festing, bumiliation and prayer, in ac- cordance with the recommendation of the Presi- dent cf the United States. The Star will not, therefore, be issued on to-morrow. pss aren abr deci sear) Revotvtion tn Groreta —The following dis- patch reached us last evening : et = oops of Georgia now occupy for! sielant an0 Sentoon. and the u.s get at Savannah.” We have to say, that yesterday morning we were informed that the leaders in the current revolu- tionary movement had decreed that in the course of that day (yesterday) all the fortifications of the United States in the South should be taken pos- session of by armed mobs. This dispatch con- firms the truth of that design on their part. The telegraph will shortly inform us where else they may have successfully carried out the plan. We submit, that such action out of South Carolina (which Is the only State that sets up the pretense of having seceded) is neither more nor less than naked revolation—the voluntary inauguration of civil war on the part of the disunionists per se. That the disunionists per se were known to con- template thé seizure of the U.S. fortifications in States that have not pretended to have seceded, meaning as it does that they have usurped the Government there without awaiting the action of State Conventions upon their schemes, explains’ why the working classes of citizens in Louisville, Ky., have been called on to band themselves so significantly against the plots of those who would deprive their families of bread, and reduce them to the condition of common soldiers ina time of profound peace and universal prosperity, without the slightest shadow of lawful right to do so. ‘These lawless, desperate and over-ambitious men are, indeed, working evils for the people of the South, for which, sooner or later, they will be held to an awful responsibility by those with whose lives, bread and property they thus seek to Play with, as at other times they play with car at the poker table. Manvvactusine CaritaL For Disuxton —On the morning after the election of delegates to the Alabama State Convention to assemble on the 7th inst., the telegraph assured the public that the im- mediate secessionists had carried the State by an overwhelming majority—at least 30,000—of the popular vote. It now turns out that the anti-im- mediate secessionists claim a majority of from ten to fifteen of the Convention. Their strength lays In the popalous counties; in the northern section of the State, where the proportion of negroes to whites is far smaller than where the disunionists per se control popular sentiment. So it is already clear to us that when an bonest expose of the re- sult of that election is before the public, it will be found that the majority vote of that State Is against, and not for thedestruction of all southern property and prosperity, in furtherance of the settled plan of the disuniunists per se that has been in course of being worked out, step by step, for the last four rs. Last night brought the following despatch from Charleston, pretending to give the result of the election throughout Georgia, that took place only yesterday’ CuarLeston, Jan. 2—The returns of the elec- tion in Georgia, for members of the State Conven- tion, indicate that Georgia bas gone for immedi- ate secessian' In one week it will be evident to all that there is no more truth in it, than in the Alabama election bogus despatch above referred to. Amos Kenpau’s Lerrers on Sacussion.—In response to numerous calls upon us for a new edi- tion of the able Letters of Amos Kendall upon Secession, published in this paper, we notify the public that we are preparing to print the whole of them in a single extra number of the W xEx.y (Dotrar) Star We shall print no more copiesjof the extra number, than may be ordered (and paid for when ordered) at the Star’s counter, or by letter The price will be 3 cents per copy; $2 5 per hundred copies; or $20 per thousand copies; and in proportion for any other numbers; each copy to be done up ina wrapper for mailing, if so re- quested. We will keep our book open to receive orders for them until Tuesday next; after which time the extra will go to press. Thus. those only can get them who may send in their orders, with the money, between now and Tuesday evening next. mn They will be worth their weight in gold in bringing about in North, South, East and West, the healthy state of public sentiment so absolutely necessary, now, for the preservation of the Union. Tue Mest important Movement oF tHE Ses- stom was made to-day by Mr. Crittenden, in the shape of submitting a preamble and joint resolu- tions for the action of Congress, as follows: Whereas, the Union being in danger, and it being difficult, if not im, le, for Congress to concur by the requisite majority so as to enabie it to take such meesures to recommend to the States such amendments to the Constitution as may be necessary to avert the danger; and whereas in so reat emergency the opinion and judgment of people aes to be heard: Therefore, Resoived, pt ie be unade by law, with- out delay, for ing the sense of the people, and submitting the fe ing resolution [1 now well-known Crittenden resolution—Ep J asa basis for the final settlement by the States of the dis- pute that now disturbs the country aud t the existence of the Union. ——— ‘This must lay over foraday. We b=lfeve that there can be but few votes in either House against it. —————_____ Tux Tave Position.—At the meeting of the members of Congress from the border States, held st Willards’ Hall a few evenings since, we learn the Hon. John T. Harris said he was one of those who ardently desired a settlement of the present difficulties and the preservation of the Union. He appealed to members to come forward and do their duty to their country, to themselves, and to thelr God; and thus preserve the Union and save the country from the horrors of civil war and total destruction. He held dhat they could do it, and they ought to do it, and that unless they did, history and posterity would write them down unwise and unpatriotic men. ia Tux Cotnection or tux Cusroxs Duties at CuAaRLEston.—It is to be taken for granted that if the Senate to-day confirm the nomination of is now here, and may be aboard ship and off for his post in twelve hours after the Senate act upon his nomination We have no ides that those of the Senate who oppose the collection of United States duties at Charleston can delay action on his nomination longer than to-day. A Nomination oF 4 LECTOR FOR THE Port oy CuaRLeston, 8.

States shall recognize that power of the “tates, and make the people of the country aware of the Mist by plBpler mation. A motion was then made to go into executive session for the purpose of considering the com- munication of the President, but was finally with- drawn, when the Senate adjourned. Hovsz.—After our report closed— Mr Sherman baving appealed from the decision of the Speaker, in relation to the withdrawal of Mr. Davis’s resolution— Mr. Adrain moved to lay the appeal on the table; which motion was lost. Mr Hill moved to reconsider the vote upon the motion to lay the appeal on the table, and called for the yeas and nays Mr. Anderson, of Mo., desired to offer a resolu- M moved that the House resolve itself into Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union. Mr. Sherman said be would withdraw his ap- J, if both resolutions (Mr. Davis’s and Mr. olman’s) were referred to the select committee of five. Mr. Howard, of Mich., desired to have the res- olution referred to the select committee of five, with the following instructions; That a select committee be appointed to inquire whether any demand of the surrender of- the forts and public property in Charleston had been made; w! Mr. Grow G any had been given that no reinforcements shou sent to forts; where the United ‘States ships are now stationed; whether the public Laer pote n Charleston bas been seized. &c , &c ; empowering the committee with full power to send for persons and papers, as they shall deem necessary. Mr. Houston objected to the appointment of any committee with or without instructions. Mr. Sherman sald if his appeal was sustained he would not press a vote upon Mr. Holman’s resolation, but would take either. Mr Houston would enter into no com which would overrule the laws of the set aside the decisions of the Speaker. After some discussion, the resolution was re- ferred to the Committee of Thirty-three. A vote was taken to reconsider the vote by which the House refused to lay Mr Sherman’s appeal on the table, with the following result— yeas 78, nays 75. The question then Ls | on the motion to lay the appeal on the table, the yeas and nays were called —yeas 80, nays 82. A motion to Lag he was again made, and while the roll was being called— Mr. Briggs said he was in favor of the resolu- tion of Mr. flolman. but he would not overrule what he thought to be a just decision of the Chair. He voted aye Mr. Howard, of Mich., said he would vote to adjourn if the vote upon the decision of the Chair was made the special order for 1 o’clock to-day, (Thursday ) The motion to adjourn being agreed to, the House adjourned at 4 20 p.m. ‘omise louse or ———— Tuvnspay, January 3.

Mr. Saker, of Oregon, resuming his remarks of yesterday, wished to know the grievances of the South because he felt sure that he was willing, under the Constitution, to remedy them. He quoted General Cass as sustaining his views. Hovsr —The Speaker presented to the House an invitation from the Chaplain to attend the re- ligious services to be held in the Hall to-morrow.

The number of arms in the U.S. Arsenal, now in full possession of the State, has heen exaggerated. They do not exceed 25.000 s Instead of 70,000, and many of them old locks. The city is nightly patrolled by the military. Ti b there is no fear of the or any ene- the cily, itis thought to ew recruits in all the stern realities of the sol- dier’s life Prepsrations sre making to fortify some of the points of the harbor wih cotton bales, covered with a foot of earth, so as to prevent their contia- gration from hot shot that may be used from Fort Sumter. Chevaur de frise and other obstruc- tions are being devised to drop into the Channel to ent any vessels of war from coming in. All the buoys in the channel are being removed, and the =H on the coast will be extinguished so soon as itis ascertained that any naval vessel is approaching. The coast is the most danger- ous in the country. The military on the coast, unused as they are to such exposure and hardships, aresuffering greatly. ‘The weather has beeh quite cold, as well asdamp and disagreeable, and their relatives in the city are in great distress about them. The realities of practical secession are already found to be much more serious than was anticipated, although the the first gun has not been fire t. As yet have been no clearances of vessels made out under the new regime. All vessels that have cleared since the 20th did so under United States pa made out and issued to them befere the act of secession. The first vessel that arrives from Liverpool will create a rampus, though it is presumed no attempt will be made by Major An- derson to prevent her passing into the city. The Charleston Courier of Monday says: There were a variety of rumors afloat on Sunday concerning Fort Sumter. Some went so far as to say that the United States troops would be unable to hold out two weeks; that their provisions were of the most scanty character. and that water was scarce. If this be so, and if it be true, as re- ported, that the larger one of the cisterns is ren- dered useless because of the salt water that makes way into it, the soldiers cannot, by any possibil- ity, hold*out longer than ten or fourteen days Allthe points from which pee can be ob- tained are rendered inaccessible There is a strong guard of the Charlrston Rifle- men stationed at the light-house on Morris’ Island, even if a battery has not been erected there by this time, as was contemplated. Detachments of South Carolina troops are in possession of the post at Fort Johnson, while Sullivan’s Island and Mount Pleasant, as well as this city, are rendered inaccessible to them for supplies. The remain- ing cistern of the fort it is said 1s so befouled with stagnant water that to drink of it would be to partake of death and disease. The only re- maining tee them to procure water or pro- visions will by boats or vessels, andeven this mode will be cut off by the smal! crafts and steamboats that are constantly cruising around on the watch. In deserting Fort Moultrie, military men say Major Anderson did as little harm to the works as it was possible for him todo. He might have blown up the work, or might have injured it to such a degree that it would have been rendered worthless, even after a year’s labor had been spent in repairing it. As it now is, to-morrow nigut will see it almost as strongly fortified as it was on the 20th. Contrary to expectation, none of the guns of the fortare materially injured. Those that were spiked were rendered useless for the time being only. The ipstruments used to stop up the touch-holes were simply wrought nails, most of which have already been taken out. None of the guns were injured by the application of tar either inside or outside. In relation to other points of defence in the har- bor, a great deal has been said on the street, and since the affair at Fort Sumter, there has evidently been a disposition to grumble because more active steps have not been taken in throwing up breast- works and batteries on allavailable points. Those who consider the subject, however, will see that until the act of evacuating Moultrieand occupancy of Sumter was consummated, there was a mutual agreement between South Carolina and the federal Government, which bound us in honor to take no active warlike steps After faith was broken by our opponents all the dispatch requisite bas been used by a prompt admintstration to fortify the harbor as completely as possible The South C: ima Convention. Cnarveston, Jan. 2.—The Convention met at the usual hour. The President announced the result of the balloting for commissioners to cer- tain States in secret session. A second ballotin; = then had for commissioners to Georgia an ‘exas. The Convention has adopted as amended the report of the committee to recommend proper Measures to be adopted to ensure the establish- ment of a confederation of the Southern States, os follows :—To appaint commissioners to all the States calling conventions to consider snd de- termine on their future political relations. This step arises by no means, says the report, from pre- sumptuous arrogance, but owing to the advanced ition which circumstances have given to South ‘arolina in the line of procedure for the attain- ment of the great design of maintaining the rights. security and very existence of the slavebolding States of the South. The iostrument called the Constitution of the United States is suggested a8 asuitable and proper basis to be offered for the establishment of a Pro- visional Government, and the following principal considerations have induced the committee to give it preference: That said instrument {s the work of minds of the first order in strength and accomplishments; that it was most carefully con- structed by comprehensive views and a careful examination of details; thatexperience bas proved it to be a good form of government for those suifl- ciently virtuous, intelligent and patriotic to con- sent to be fairly and honestly construed and iin- rtially administered; that the settled opinion of ‘his State has never been adverse toa plan of gov- ernment for Confederated States on account of anything in the structure, but ber dissatisfaction is attributable to the false glosses, dangerous mis- interpretation and perversion of sundry of its pro- visions, even to the extent, in one particular, of so covering up the real purposes of certain legisla- tion (meant to protect domestic manufacturers in one section) as to estop the Supreme Court in its opinion from judicially perceiving its real design. That it presents a complete scheme of confeder- ation, capable of being speedily put in operation. That the people of South Carolina cherish it, and felt safe under it in their own hands for interpre- tation and admiuistration, especially as the por- tlons that have been, by permission. made patent for mischief and oppression in the hands of ad- verse, inimical interests, have received a settled construction by the South.
