We publish to-day an additional fund of information bear ng upon the election today. Before another sun ‘shal! rise the citizens of this city and of the Union will have decided whether a sectional and fanatical President and party shall rule the destinies of the nation, or a con- stitutional party, active for the equal administration of federal affairs to all States, regardless of sectional boun- daries or places. We hold the above as the important and absorbing question of the day; but in the din of the election battle we must not forget the fast that our Con- Greesional, State and county oflices have also more or leas importance. To preserve our constitutional obliga tions intact we must, from the least to the greatest, ig- nore everything tinotured with black republicaniem. OUR CITY NOMINATIONS. 'm. Walab. 38—Wm.

C., Nov. 6 1869. The Legislature me} to-day. There is an evident dis position to act instead of talk, The Legislature or- ganized, and rece'ved the Governor’« Message. Therein he suggests that the Legislature ahould, in view of the threatening aspect of affairs, remain in session, and tako action to prepare the State for the crisis. He earnestly recommends, in case Lincoln 1s elected, an immediate call of a Convention to determine the mode and measure of redress. He says he, individually, considers secession the only alternative left; that the indications show the secession of South Carolina would instantly bring about that of the entire South; and that if the general govern ment attempts coercion, our solemn duty is to meet force by force; and he promises to carry out the Convention’s decision during the remainder of his term, regardless of bazard, He recommends military reorganization, and that every man in the State, between the ages of eighteen and forty-five, abould be armed by the State with the most efficient weapons of modern warfare. He recommends raising immediately ten thousand yolua teers, to be in readiness at the shortest notice, with other Preparations, conscious that we are contending for our firesides. We may, says the Governor, trust our cause 0 the keeping of the Supreme Disposer of events. The message was made the special order for Tuestay noon, and the Legislature adjourned. The conviction of the necessity of secession it hourly gaining ground. The federal officials of Charleston are said to have their res/goations written. at celebration in Savannah of (pe completion of the Charleston and Savannah Railroad, the Mayor of Sa- vapnah pledged fifty thousand Georgians to rush to the assistance of South Carolina if coerced. Collector Col cock, of Charleston, mace gn eloquent disanion speech. Mr, Buchanan was toasted as the last of ap illustrious jie. There is the greatest enthusiasm for a Southern confede racy bere. Every bat bas a cockade, and all minds are resolved to fight. Covemnia, Nov, 6—12 P. M. A caucus was beld t night, at which it was ascertain- ed that a large majority of the Legisiatare are for imme diate secession by State action. An immente crowd assembled this evening at the Con- garee House ana serenaded Senator Chesna’. He spoke Jong and eloquently, declaring the last hope of the Union gone and resistance unavoidable.

He spoke over four hours. ‘and was vory severe on Job Minor Botts, whom he de. clared was worse than Seward. He protested that he would never tubmit to Lincoln’s election. He closed his speech amid the wildest enthusiasm. Resolutions relating to Lincoln's election were then submitted, and some one offering to speak in opposition aod pronouncing Wise’s speech & political harangae, bis voice was los) amid the wild shouts of the excited multi. tude.

The Anxiety Respecting the Contest in New York—The Secession Feeling in the Galf States—Oar Relations America—Admissions to Corps of the Navy, &c., &e. Wasninotox, Nov. 6, 1860. All thoughts, al! feelings, all desires—whatever usually ttirs the federal metropolis—are ail merged in the uni- verea! anxiety about the verdict of New York to-morrow. The Union electoral ticket supporters are critically placed in the only aperture where republicani¢m can be success- fally repelied—in the Thermopylw of the nation. Hopes and fears agitate the whole country. Advices from some quarters are encouraging and inspir- ing; from other quarters we are prepared for defeat. The suspense will be almost agouizing until New York’s decision is known Let every New Yorker appreciate the duty of this ert- sis, and contemplate the consequences of his vote, They involve peace, credit, business interests, pablic safety and personal prosperity, ‘THE DIBUMION VRRLING IN ALABAMA, Accitizen of Barbour county, Alabama, writes:—“Our People are becoming more excited every day. The most prominent Bell men are for disanion in the event of Lin- coln’s election, The country is waking up, and as the crieis approaches they are more determined, Justice and right are on our side. God is with us, and I believe ai will be well.’? This is the sober, serious, deliberate tone of the Gulf States, aud of large portions of the whole South. Will New York precipitate such men into revolution? THM TONE OF THE SOUTHERN PRESS, The Southern papers teem with articles in favor of fecestion, Many are boyish, eloquent affairs, worthy of young men at college—very unworthy of business men; but they show what measures the South is con- templating for future dealing with the federal govern- ment. THE YRESIDRNT AND THE CRISIS. The despatch from Richmond, published in the Heaaup, iptimating that ‘‘the President is alarmed,” was founded on quite erroneous joformatioa, Most persons who con- verge with the President would think him perhaps rather stolcal on the general subject, and certainly akepti- c,l as to any serious attempt at disunion by avy conside_ rable number of States. OUR TREATY WITH NICARAGUA. Advices received by the government from Mr. Dimitry, our Minister at Nicaragua, indicate that there will be oon- siderable difficulty in getting Nicaragua to ratily the Lamar treaty. From some cause or other she seems averee to it, notwithstanding Martinez, who {s at the bead of affairs, is strongly in favor of it. OUR TREATY WITH NEW GRANADA. The exchange of ratificasions of the New Gransdian treaty took place to day at the Department of State, Gen. Jones left for New York this afternoon, and will Sail in the steamer of the 1&h for bis post, carrying with him @ copy of the treaty for that goverument, MARNBY APPOINTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF THE WHET. General Hartey, having been offered either the Depart. ment of the West or the Department of California, has finally accepted the former. He loft here for New York to-day, and from thence will proceed to St. Louis YROMOTIONS IN AND ADXISSIONS TO TU ENGINERR CORPS OF THE NAVY. The Board of Chief Engineers, which convened in Phila- delphia on the 18th September, for the examination of Assistant Engineers for p-omotion, and candidates for ad- mirsion to the Engineer Corps of the Navy, have just con- cluded their labors, Of the candidates for afmiesion the Board found twenty-three qualified for admission.
