The message of Governor Brown, @f Georgia, to the Legislature of that State, has startled Rot only the administration, bat the peopie gonerally. A despatch received here to-day from Georgia, by a Gentioman in an official position, states that the views and sentiments of tho members of the Legisiatare now in Bese ion are stronger than thore contained in the Gover- ‘wor’s meseage. Nearly every mao who participated in the meoting at Gavansah was leading and prominent in the Union + Movement in 1851. It ie aiso significant that the most olive men in the digunion and secession movement in G@eorg's, Alabama, Miesissippi and Florida were lading Uston men in 1861, ‘A bigh furctionary of the government informed me this morning that he bad no donbt that five Southern States ‘would go cat of the Union. They would not wait, either, for Convention of the Southern Slates. They wore for separate State action. Many idle apd extravagant reports are in circulation Telative to the avowed intentions of the administration upon thie exciting and delicate subject, bul I am satistiod ‘that there is not a particle cf foundation for any of them ‘The President can take no potice of them uniess they at- tempt to obstruct the federal laws, or sttempt to interfere with government property. Should they attempt the latter the army and the navy would doubtless soon be ordered in that direction, The administration, however, | do not antic!pate anything of the kind. Tho South knows | her duty too well to tnterfere with or obstruct the fede. ral laws. ‘The President ia frequently interrogated by people, from the North as well as the South, as to whal he in tends to do, Ho lavarisbly answers them that be has no @athority to prevent a Stat» from seceding, and therefore Be can do nothing In care of nullification, he says, the matter would be differcat. He will most ‘he emergency ‘whenever it shail rigo promptly, and do his whole duty. ‘The Cabinet had s protracted seeston to day, ond it w ‘enderstood that they had under consideration the present serious and alarming attitade of afiairs in the South. The @4ministration do not believe the South intend to take hasty or precipitate action, but that they will act ovolly Gnd deliberately. Tt appearn, by intelligence recece!ved this evoning, that Breckinridge bas carried every Southern State, excepting Kentucky and Mirseuri. It is conceded that he bas car- hed Maryiand and Virginia, Wasmsyorow, Nov. 9, 1860. ‘The rumor that the Secretary of the Treasury will re- @ign ‘is entirely unfounded. 1s i# seid, algo, that be Qdberet to the views and sentiments expressed in his ‘Manon letter of 1861, lately repablished here. ‘The Cabinet had a protracted scasion to day, del!berat tug on the condition of tne country; and though the par tioulars of their consultation have net tracepiret, the | people may be assured that the admiolstration will mate |e every effort to preserve the public peace as woil as the fategrity of the Uaion. | Nomerovn earnest appeals are going from this city to te Bouth urging moderation and caution.

I have sent you by telegraph ‘ho latest olection returns received bere from the interior of the State. As I stated im my despatch, they extibit such large galas upon the democratic vote of the Jast gubernatorial election us to render the success of Breckinridge in the State a mat- ter of certainty, This indeed ia a great victory, consider ing that two formidable opponents had to be encountered im the persons of Douglas and Sell. The vote of the former in the State, from present data, will not stop far sbort of fifteen thousand, whic of courae ig a diminution of Breckinridge’s strength by that mumber. Yet it is eat'+ mated that Breckinridge will carry the State by at leat four thousand. Notwithstanding the drcisive character of this victory, it ie producirg no more en'husissm in this city than would the election of a member of ourfenlightened Oom- mon Council. I have witnessed more eathusisem, in fact, at any municipal elec ion that has taken place here within the last eight ycars tian at the present Presiden- tial election. This, of course, proceeds from s conviction"that any mere State trivmph now cannot effect the general resuit nor avert the impending doom. It is ominous,too, of » coming storm, the like of which bas never before been experienced. Revolution is upon us; {t is useless to‘deny it. South Carolina, as you will have awertained bofore this reaches you, has taken the initiative, and "she wil! be sustained by most, smd alt'mately all, of bor {sister Southern States. She ts now on the vergo of & collision with the genera) gov: rament, and she will push matters to that foous immedia‘ely, Mi rk the prediction. Three of the principal fevers) officers in the State have already resigned. Their places must be filied. From where? Not from South Caro''ns, for no man there would dare to ac- cept any of these offlces if so disposed. Will they be filed from without the limita of the [State? Thoy probably may; but their fimstions must be discharged under the protection of fe eral bayoacte. This wi! make collision of the S.ate and federa! cuthorities im ninent— nay, inevitable, Fy the shed sing of the’ firet drop of blood the grand purpose of the disunionists will nave been acoomp'ish:d, 1 state to you a fast withia my own knowledge when I say tha’ the disuaion’ party in the South Lave vever entertained a hope of a poxceful sepa- ration; nor do they now, They have always admitted, and do now a'mit,'ba’ if the question of Uoion or dis- union were put to @ vote of the people tn any Southern State save Fouth Csrolins, the latter scheme would te defeated by Gftern'o|wenty. With this conviction they could not be su pes od foolish enough to resort to ruch a Procedure. Their polley was fist to await a proper pre- \ext, Or more correctly @ #'Fon¢ incentive to diaunion, and then haying ob'ained it, to push matters forthwith to ao extremity, Tois incentive is furniehed io the olection of Lincoln. The pablis mini of the South is now arouses tothe very verge of rvolatioa, ant it; needs but the Spark—tbe sheddinz of one dro) of blood—to precipitate the coustry into civil war, Ard this drop of blood wi) be shed. The disunionists will mot let this epleudit op- portanity pass without profiling by it. Mattersare jo t now at the very focus to which they have long beon tr. - ing to bring them, and they will make « fsa before ‘time can be given for negotistion. “Prectp'tate tho rev. lution—delays ere danger us.” This ie their motto, ad, mark my words, they will adhere to |t. 1 had @ conversation to-day with a gentiemis, « native of Virginia, and undoubtedly the best portet man in re- gard to the political history of the country, of, probab y, any In it, He isem’oently consirvaiive, cod bee bom for nearly thirty years a prominent member of the prevs, Some four years of that perio! were pent in Alioama as chief editor of one of the leading papers of that Sate, aid during that time be ‘ook am setive part in the politics of tho State, During my acquaimiance with him, which co. vers a perfod of sbout elghs years, I pevor know him to countenance foram \ns'ent emy movement that did not bear (he broed s!:m» 0’ conve yatiem aad Uaion.

The simile far- niebed by my friend, however, is @ forcible, though an | alarming one. Relative local circumstances, which may sggravate or diminish the fery of the conflict, cannog affect the truth and faithfulness of the simtie, Many,! ave no Goubt, on reading thie will be struck by {te force, f they do not shudder at the very thought of #0 terribie 4 consummation. Bat } is most awful im the contemplation of this drcadfel prospect is, that the impending evil te now bo yond remedy “The die ie cast.” Lincoln is elected. No time is left for negetiations. South Carolina, as I have said, will precipitate the revolution.

H» claims seccesion as a right, and con‘ends that such an act cin be exercised with safety as well as advantage 10 the Southern Btates. A great meeting was beld at Macon last night, at which it was unanimously resolved to call a convention of the people without delay, 80 as to accomplish secession before ‘the inauguration of the President elect. EXCITEMENT IN AUGUSTA. Avavers, Ga., Nov. 8, 1960. ‘The telegraph lines are down south of Augusta, ani we bave nothing in consequence from Milledgeville. Meetings are being held all over Georgia for forming Minut) Men corps. A meeting has been called for Augus- ta tomorrow night. It will be managed by the most ‘talented and conservative citizens, and decided measures, looking to tae ee cession of Georgia, will be adopted. A bigbly exciting scene occurred in this city this after. moon. A Northern man, named Thayer, a homeopathic doctor and former resident, recently returned, was charged with uttering abolition seutimen's, Thursday might he was ordered to leave the city. Refusing, he was waited on by a crowd this afternoon, The crowd, which increased to several hundred, was ad dremsei by several citizens, some urging summary treatmen’ and others a milder course. While the crowd ‘was engaged listening, Thayer was conveyed off to the rear of the boo! and escaped. The citizens aided his safety in consequence of the entreaties of Thayer's wife and children. It is presumed he is off safe. ‘The feeling is gradually widening and deepening into hostility to the Yankees among all parties. A Miltary Convention of the State will be held next ‘Tuesday, at Milledgeville, Gov. Brown’s special message has been approved.

IMPORTANT FROM THE CAPITAL OF SOUTH CAROLINA. PASSAGE OF THE BILL IN THE HOUSE CALLING A | STATE CONVENTION—EIGHT HUNDRED MINUTE MEN UNDER ARMS--IMMEDIATB RESISTANCE ADVOCATED— THE GEORGIA FEDERAL OFFICERS ABOUT TO B&- SIGN, BTC., ETO. Corvus, 8. 0., Nov. 9, 1860. In the Senate to.day Mr. Garlington, from the Commit | tee on Federal Relations, reported a bill calling a Conven- tion of the people of the State to take into consideration the dangers incident to the present position of our State tp the Union, and to take measures which may be neces. wary and proper for providing against the samo. Tho bill provides that the Conven: ton shal! assemble on the seoond Monday in January, and the election for delegates cocur on. the Tuesday previous, the number of delegates from each district to correspond with the number of its Senators and representatives in the Legislature. The last provision of the bill reques's the Goversor to communicate a copy to the Executives of the slaveholding States, and urge their co operation in providing for the future safety, welfare and independence of the South. After a brief discussion concern'ng the time fixed, the bill parsed by yeas forty-four, nays one. The dissenting Senator differed about ‘be time only. In the House, Mr. Trenholm’s resolutions, to send a commirsioner to Georgia, was taken up, and a sharp de. Date ensued between the co operationists and separate State action men. Mr. Gray opposed the resolution. Separate action, he said, was the doctrine advocated by Calhona and KcDute, and recognized by De Tocqueville, He hoped South Ca- | rolim) would throw off the odious federal yoke, and seek | and livertics. Mr. McGowan said South Carolina wishe! to recede lopg ago, but for ten years ber policy bad been to await co operation. Now on the eve of success, it would be the height o’ madness to wait to unite with her Southern sisters. The history of Peleponesia, Poland, modern Italy and Central gmerica proved the truth of the maxim, | “United we stand, divided wo fall.” He was ready, bowever, 'o abide by the deciai»n of the Convention. Mr. Muiling thought tne attempt to secure 00 operation ‘would be disastrous, and cited the case of the Comms sion tent to Virginia, If we wnited for other Mtates to lead slavery would be abandoned, and the South oppress: | od like India by the East India Company, Ho felt the importance of action, and thought it would be time | enough to send commission ars when they had formally declared the Union broken. Suppose Georgia declined | acting, what policy would bis friend purruc? | Mr, McGowan did not indicate any policy, His idea | was to proceed, part pasew, with Georgia. | Mr, Malling replied that we could not with dignity ask | co-operation watt! we bave ourselves acted. | Te consideration of the resolutions was thon postpoood | Ul to morrow. In the Senate the bill calling & convention was referred to the Committee on Federal Relations. Mr. monton gave notice that he would introduce a bi!)

The secession movement has begun in carnest—of that you may be certain. The news of the resolt in New York and Pennsylvania was received this morning shortly after midnight. 1: caused no sensation, except, perhaps, one of relief from a perplexing suspense. ‘The stern and sullen feeling of defiance to a seotional mi jority, #0 universal on the seabcard, ie quite as prevalent here, and stil] more andiaguieed. On every hat you meet # the bright bine cockade—the ob) vielng with th | safety under the Palmotto fiag—the mgis of our rights | message, urging the Leginiatore of that } Young, and the despairing with the horeful, in giving prominence to the badge. From ‘his day you may count South Carolina as out of the American confederacy. The formal step i# not et taken, but the popular will has ‘upmistakeably decreed it. An army of ready made so) diers are prepared to back the action of ‘he State with their fortunes and their ives. With regard to the other cotton States, people here regard their sewssion as a foregone conclusion. The last spark of devotion to the old federal Union bas died out from’ amongtt us, and it is a little strange to contrast the vast masses who lately moved up your Broadway, keeping sicp to the mosis of the Union, with the +mall, resolute and well armed bands who nightly patrol every village im the South, with but one aim and one hop —to wrest, at all bazards, their respective States from a Union in which they deem their honor trample! upon and their rights dealed. It 19 @ mistake to suppose that Carolinians, in precip!- tating the dissolution, are led on by any delusive hopes of great and beneficial results to be achieved immediate: ly. The belief here ts very gen:rally en er ained by ‘thinking men that the dread catastrophe w® ch will fol Jow Linocoln’s success will at first bring in its train a series of disasters for us which could only be equalled by the degradation and ruin of submission. But we are also convinced that the bitter dregs will not be all for us. In the melee of the coming revolution 1: is possible that our Iittle State may be shaken to its very foundations, social ty and politically; and no one here denies or at:empts to conceal this fact. Bat it isa thought whioa gives cona- dence te our people and nerve to our legisistors that the shock felt by us will reverberate fearfully through the length and breadth of ths great Commercial and manufacturing section, inhabited by those whose blind fanaticism is alone to bo held respon- sible for the general craab. This is the spirit that ani- ‘mates at this time the people of South Caroline, As for the threa‘s of coercion, whether made by Douglas or by Lincoln presses, they have become « jest and a byword throughout the State, They have loceed from their loyaliy to the Union thousands of those who six months ago would have freely shed their blood to pro ferve it. Too late the abolitionized North will find how dangerous a game it is to attempt to bully into submission ‘ brave and chivairous people. In the choice of electors yesterday there wag not the lightest jarring of opinions visible. The caucus nominations were confirmed in General Assembly without a single dissenting voice. There fe great deal of the good old fashioned pomp and ceremony, which has come down to us from the days ef the cofonies, visible in the routine of pro ceedings of our Legisiature. The sessions of the two Houses are he'd in a very large and ornate, though now somewhat dilapidated, frame building, called the State House. The bails are adorned with # rich profusion of gold and drapery, resembling that of the old Hall of Re- presentatives at Washington. There are no lob vice here. ‘The President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House ‘and the various clerks of both branghes, still retain the graceful flowing gilt acd purple robes of the olden time, ‘and the sententious toves in which their entry 1s heral tod aloud{by the pompous mace bearer seem like the echoes of other days. Speaking of the State Houre I should mention the new structure now nearly Sinished, and situated close to the cite of the present edifice. It is built of solid granite, in the most substantial and costly style, and will, when con- pleted, be the Snest State work in the South. Wao knows but that it may ere long be the Capito! of tue Southern confederacy. Columbia certainly te blest with many of the requisites for a Southern federal capital Central, situated in a fine, hilly country, healthy in the highest degree; st a proper distance from tbe coast, !ald out with wide aod regular streets; abundastly supplied with railroad facilities and growing very rapidly in trade, extent and population, it certainly presenta at- vantages far greater then those of any other place of tue fame size in the South, Theao, however, considerations of which nobody thinks at this time. Poople intend to get the State out of the Union in the quickest and most direct way, ani leave the arrangement of the details of our goverumeat to be settled afterwarde. | IMMENSE MASS MEETING IN CHARLESTON.

W. was serenaded this evening by & large Ooncourse of citizens, and replied in substance as follows:—I thank you for this manifestation of kindness, and attribute ® to the deep intercet which you take in the present condition of affairs; and, indeed, the condition of our country je such as to demand the earnest oonsi- deration of every lover of his country + In all human pro ability the nominee of the biack republican party is at this moment elected President of the United States. From this fact arises the greatcat question which we, the of Soath Carolina, can poesibly be called upon to decide—one which I ‘we will consider and de- (ermine among ourselves ip & spirit of fraterpal kindness, with all cue allowaoccs for the opirions of all classes of our people, whatever their opinions may be. In my opinion the South cannot submit to the election of Lin- coln, beceuse he is the nom!nee of a sectional party—a party conflued altogether to the Northern section of this confederacy. It was pot into euch « Union that our an- ceetors entered—it was not a Union of one section dom! Lantover apotber, that Washiagton, Madison, Rutledge and other great men entered; and if there is no other ob- Jection this slone would be soificient. Why stay in = Union where we are to be subjected to another section? This is pot the only objection to this party. Besides beirg eectional, it ie a party filled with anim eity to the South and her inetitutioog—it is a party which hates us and would delight in our ruln—a party which would rjotee to nee the torch applied to our dwellings. To such @ party why should we submit? If we sudmit to this we will submit to even greater evils. It is a party founded upon a system destructive to our whole social fabric, ard which would resuce the besutiful South to a bowling wilderness, Cun we eubmit to such a party? In my pinion, we sbonid not ask if that party hates us. I te!! you, ip proof of wha: I eay, you can refer to their tocieties Lovk to their press, their public speakers; Jock to their sympathy expressed, uot ovly by mobs and wolenes, but by reprerentative bocies, in their courts of justice, as evidence of this Tnere you fod the John Brcwn feeling.

The question then is, ®hat are we to do? In my opinion, the Soath ought not submit, If oa intend to rest Teri#t ip earnert le to et; tho way to enact revola- tien Is to stare it in the face. I think the only policy for ue \m to arm as toon as we reesive authentic intelligence of the election of Lincolm Ib is for Sewth Carolus, in the quickert manner and by the most direct means, to withdraw from this Union, then we wil m teubmit, whether the other Sourbern States will ect with us or our euemies. They canact take sides Witb our enemies; they must take sides wih ve. When an epeient philosopher wished to tnavgu- rate & great revolution, his motto was to dare! to dare!
