IMPORTANT POSITION OF SENATOR SEWARD. The Propositions of Messrs. Davis and Toombs. SENATOR DOUGLAS’ PLAN. Arrival of the South Carolina Commis- sioners at Washington. from the Republic of South Carolina, Action of the Sovereignty Convention. Adoption of an Important Ordinance Relative to the Customs. THE SECESSION FEELING IN ALABAMA, &e., &e., &e, Wasmmcton, Dec. 26, 1860. ‘The position of Senator Seward in the Senate Commit- tee of Thirteen, on Monday is highly importaat, occur- ring as it did immediately following his speech before the ‘New England Society at the Astor House, New York, on Saturday evening. He offered the following proposition, with a view to aid in the settlement of the existing diffi- calties:— Firt—An that it sball not be hereafter amended, 0 as to give power to the foferel. serene to Sever ne Bers this provision to be made per- ye an amendment to the Fugitive Slave law, removing obnoxious teatures, and @ jury trial for the fagitive. et fairs Mo ine their statutes, an WS with the constitution and laws of the United States. The first article was adopted, only Messrs Toombs and Wigtall voting against it. The last twp articles were rejected, the republican members yoting for them, and all the others against them. ‘The adoption of the first article goes for nothing, inas- much as the rejection of the two last carries the ‘first down with it, the three articles being a single proposition. Tam authoritatively informed that the statement that the meeting of seven republican Governors resulted inan agreement to push their extreme anti-slavery sentiments and make war upon the Seuth, is erroneous. The moct- ing alluded to was social, and in great part accidental, nor were the Governors all together at any one time. No purpose was hinted at of endeavoring to make a national policy, much less to pursue any measures of aggression, but all were determined to do their duty in aiding the maintainance of the Union and the rights of all States and people under the constitution of the United States. ‘The Secretary of War recently ordered the Superin- tendent of the Springfield (Mass.) Armory to deliver to Major Thornton, of the army, twenty thousand muskets, ‘as condemned ordinance stores, and to be sold. Major Thornton has charge of the military stores in New York city. It is said that the State of Virginia has purchased them at two and a half dollars each. They cost the government twelve dollars each, are known as the mode of 1842, and could be changed to the latest and best model for seventy-five centa each, by the simple process of rifling the barrel. As there has hardly been time to make the five hundred boxes in which to pack them, it is doubtful whether they have yet been removed from Springfield. - ‘Two hundred thousand muskets have been taken the Springfield armory, by order of the Secretary of War, during the last year, and distributed over the Southern States. About the same number remain there at the pre- sent time, all of which, with the alteration alluded to above, may be made serviceable. Governor Dennison, of Ohio, left here yesterday, and Mr. Andrew, Governor elect of Massachusetts, left here this morning, en rowe for Boston. Ex Governor Steele, of New Hampshire, has just ar- rived, after a lengthened tour through North Carolina. ‘He came as far as Richmona last night in company with Messrs. Barnwell, Adams and Orr, the South Carolina Commissioners. They tarried in Richmond over night for the purpose of consulting prominent Virginia politicians, and arrived here to-day to lay their case before the Pre- sident. Governor Steele says the mountaineers of North Carolina are not thoroughly tinctured with secessionism, Dut that the feeling is spreading rapily, with no effort to check it. The Commissioners will, among other ‘hings, attempt to treat with the President for the conveyance of mails through Soath Carolina, the surrender of the fortifica- tions, the recognition of her independence, the establish- ment of @ treaty of amity and commerce, Sc. From a visit to the Navy Yard today, I juteo there is not a very strong force at hand to protect the public property in cage of attack, however efficient those on duty may be. The yard is in command of Commander Buchanan, an experienced officer; and the marines, whore numbers vary from time to time according to enlistments and departures, are commanded by General Marris. Northern republican members of Congress, returned to- day, report the tone of their constituents hostile to any compromise. Hon. Mr. Buffington, of Massachusetts, re turns confirmed in his anti-slavery convictions. ‘New Hampshire members write home, advising a re. organization of the militia, to reader them more efficient in case of emergency. Political transitions are assuming extraordinary shapes. We have it from pretty good authority that Senator Douglas will resume the practice of the law, selecting some Southern city for his abode; aud Senator Andrew Johneon, Of Tennersee, it is currently reported, will es- tablish himself in a Northern city As evidence of the little regard felt for human fife in Washington, it is only necessary to refer to the fact that a couple of men were shot near the Navy Yard yesterday, within sight of the National Capitol, in a polition! emeute, and an officer of the municipal authorities was nearly Deaton to death, without eliciting scarcely a passing’ re- mark from usually well informed citizoas. ‘The row cecurred near the Navy Yard, but was not par. tictpated in by the government employes. It was a ren contre between democrats and republicans, and a feud of Jong existence. In an attempt to diswerse the crowd police officer Thompeon was assaulted, when he fired his revolver, three shot taking effect in the leg of one of the aeaailing party. Another received a shot in the back of the head. The persona wounded belonged to the repub- lican side. One is expected to die. The affair creates no epecial excitement here. Wasterworam, Deo. 26, 1 ‘The South Carolina Commissionors arrived noon. They were expected in the Treeontt, late acting Secretary of State, was in with a carriage fo receive them, but they remained Richmond over night, as stated in @ previou deepateh, ‘and did not reach here until about three o'clock P.M, Jeaving Richmond at seven o'clock A.M On arriving here they repai od to a fine mansion on Franklin row, near the President's house, and adjoining that of Golonel Drinkard, chief clerk of the War Depart. ment. The houte has beer engaged for a number of days, pérhaps woeke, for the nse of the Commissioners. Tt Ie not at present positively known when the Presi. dent will feonive the Cummiosioner’, It may be to.mor- row, and possibly sot until Friday, although to-day, at balf-past two o’clock, was designated for the interview by the President, and it would have then occurred had the missioners will keep open house during tho holidays, at any rate, and as it is not known when finally determine upon the subject matter of sion, they may hospitably entertain their the advent of ‘(Honest Old Abe,” on the 4th of March, when matters will assume an altogether different phase. Hon. Thaddeus Stevens has returned from a holiday visit to Pennsylvania. He says he did not mect a man during his absence who advised any ‘back down” on the part ef the republicans. He is as firm ag ever in tho anti slavery faith. ‘It is not known or believed here that any troops have ‘been ordered to the forts in Charleston harbor, nor is { at present the intention of the administration s0 to do. On the contrary, {t is asserted that the President believes that such a course would serve to inflame the Southern sentiment, which is particularly to be avoided at tho present moment. In relation to the affair of the guns at Pittsburg, the manufacturer contracted to deliver them at certain Points where requisition was made, and any opposition or restraint in their delivery by citizens will inure to the injury of the contractor only, should the service wafer by delay. ‘Waserveron, Dec. 26, 1860. ‘The proceedings of the two Congressional select com- mittees on the crisis excite no particular interest, as it is not supposed that they will be able to come to any satisfactory conclusion, and as the extreme Southerners are at present opposed to any eompromises, The secessionists are much comforted by private ac- counts from Maryland, Virginia and other Southern Btates. ‘Since General Cass has retired from the State Depart- partment the visits to him from distinguished gentlemen have been numerous, including the representatives from foreign goveraments, who evince for him the marked consideration which commenced with their offi- cial intercourse. An address or recommendation has been prepared by authority, to submit to the memoers of the border slave States for their signatures, requesting the respective States, by enactment or otherwise, to appoint Commis- sioners 10 meet at Baltimore on the 13th of February, for conference relative to the secession of all the cotton ‘States, and devige a programme of action for the border States in case of such of emergency. It is thought, how- ever, that not all the members will sign it, but still there will be enough from each delegation to induce a favorable response from their re«pective States, Captain Ingraham, of South Carolina, in command of the sloop-of-war Richmond, attached to the Mediter- ranean squadron, has ueked and obtained leave to return home. THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE SENATE CRISIS if COMMITTER. Wasmworon, Dec. 26, 1860. ‘The Senate Committce of Thirteen had another meeting to-day, and discussed further the general subject of re- conciliation; but nothing was adopted which would an- swer as a basis for permanent peace. Mr. Davis offered the following resolution, which he held to be necessary as an elementary principle of any adjutment that would satisfy the South, unless it was division of Territories:— such by the local law of any of foe ed ar rg same foot! _ jeral relations as any other species of property so re- Soguiped, and, tte ofr yy, shall nck be subject to be divested or impaired by the local law of other State, either in escape thereto or of trensit or saloura of the owner therein; and inno case Se ol subjest to be divested or impaired lative act of the United States or of any of the Ter- ritories thercof. The republicans voted unanimously against this reso- Iation, and all the others for it. The following resolutions, offered by Mr. were voted on, the republicans all voting in the i the resolutions were defeated under the rule. Fint, That the people of the United States shall have an equal right to emigrate to and settle in the present or any future acquired Territories, with whatever property Sy pay ees, eens slaves, and be securely tected in its peaceable it until such Territory ag a State in no Union, with or WRBOSs sin very,ascthe may determine, on an equality with all x end Bates. : > gah Second—' That 'y in slavea shall be entitled to the the ted slates all of tt ts, ko degeenen Ns pov pes rppend: per Aya wd i & to every State to . tect slavery within ite limits. Third— such persons flee shall be the test of criminality. Several members offered Yesolutions recognizing the duty of Congress to pass laws to suppress and puniah in- vasions of one State by another, and the fitting out af hostile expeditions of one State against another. For this provision the republicans were all willing to vote, ‘Dut in consequence of an amendment engrafted pn the proposition by Mr. Toombs, extending the principle to any not against the laws of nations, the republicans voted against it, and it was lowt under the rale, Mr. Toombs submitted another resolution, to the °” that fugitive slaves aball be surrendered, under th aw of 1860, without being entitled to writ of habeas corpus, or trial by jury, or obstruction of any law by State Le cislatare, Against this Mr. Seward and all his friends voted. No action was taken on the programme of Mr. Douglas. It seems to be understood that his main proposition, in reference to the government of the Territories, will not be acceded to by either side. Mr. Crittenden intimated a desire to modify his first proposition, the Missouri line. ‘The committee then adjourned to ten o'clock on Friday , to give bim an opportunity to do so. ‘The prospect of a settlement is by no means bright, and yet if the republicans wonld only agree to a division of territory of the United States, as proposed by Mr. Crittenden, by wh.ch the North would get nine hundred thousand square miles, and the South about two hundred and eighty thousand square miles, it Is believed the whole difficulty would be settled in thirty days time, and the whole country restored to peace. The members on the committee from the cotton States again indicated thetr willingness to accept this compro- mise, if the republicans would offer it and go for it in good faith. ‘The South Carolina Commiseionere are now (10 P. M.) in consultation with friends and sympathizers. They are at home to,but few others. Nothing will be done until to- morrow, when the Commissioners will receive their friends and others who may call upon them. Senator Wigfall, of Texas, was among those closeted with them to- night. The Commissioners will no doubt call upon the Presioat informally, and have some conversation with him, bat thet they will obtain any official recognition rom him. exeept thay present themselves in character of agents of one of the United States, no one believes. It ie nol expected that a quorum of either House will be present to-morrow, but that both will adjourn over to Mon’ay Mr. Donglae has placed upon the journal of the Com- mittee of Thirteen a statement that he declined voting for abstract propositions not reduced to the form of amendments to the constitution, because he had himeclf offered amendments in due form which covered all the points In Mr, Toombs’ resolutidhe, Tt was for thie renaon that be did not consider it neoresary to recdrd his ‘yote upon Mr, Toombe’ proporition. ‘The republicans had a conference today upon Winter Davie’ proposition to admit Kansas ae a free and New Mexico as a eiave State, but came to no definite conclu. sion. MR DOUGLAS’ PLAN OF ADJUSTMENT. On Monday, December 24, Mr. Douglas introdnced a Joint resolution into the Senate proposing amendments to the constitution of the United States, with a view of, restoring pence and preserving the Union. His propoat- tion was read @ first and second time, and referred to the ‘Commnittee of Thirteen. It is aa follows:— JONST RARDLETION.

THE ALLEGHANY ARSENAL EXCITEMENT. Preranone, Dec, 26, 1960. ‘The guns have not yet been sent from the Alleghany Arsenal, but the public mind is still agitated upon the subject. Strong hopes are entertained that the order will be revoked by the Secretary of War. Wasitiwotor, Dec. 26, 1860. ‘The War Department can take no action in reference to the recent movements at Pittsburg until official infor- with law and regulation, without any reference whatever to political occurrences. THE PEOPLE OF ALABAMA DECIDE IN FAVOR OF SECESSION. Mowroommny, Dec. 26, 1860. Returns from all the counties in the different sections of the State, thus far received, indicate that straight ont secession has ewept everything by fifty thousand, in East, West, Middle and Southern Alabama, Hardly one opposed to separate State action has been elected. ‘The majority in the Convention for immediate seccesion will be at least fifty. Alabama will follow South Carolina ‘on the 10tb of January. To-day passed off very quietly. Nodisturbanes amongst the negro population, and no apprehension of any. Governor Moore has issned his proclamation for an extra session of the Legislature, to couvene on the Mth of January CONVENING OF THE TEXAS LEGISLATURE BY GOV. HOUSTON.

SHIPMENT OF MUSKETS FOR THE SOUTH. PALSITY OF THE RUMOR IN REGARD TO THEIR OBSROT. A rumor prevailed in the city yesterday that five hun- dred caste of meRets had been purchased by private agents in.thi ety, for the South, and abipped on board one of the sceamers for Savaunah, Some Tittle excite. ment wee caured, and an intimation was conveyed by fome of the evening papers that the arms were to De used for hostile purporos by the Southern secessionists. Tho rumor, however, proves to be without any truth tn this latter t. The arme alluded to were manufac- militia of Georgia, in accordance with an order ivsaed in May lust, and wore shipped from this city on the 16th of the present month, for Savaunah, by the steamer Ala. ‘bama.

THE CHA! ESTON CONVENTION. Cuanuaron, 8. C., Des. 26, 1660. ‘The Convention reassembled at eleven o’clook this morning. A prayer was offered up, asking the protection of God over a Southern confederacy. ‘Mr. Sram offered a resolution that the Governor be re- quested to communicate to the Convention in secret sos- tion apy information he possesses in reference to tho condition of forts Moultrie and Sumter and Castle Pinck- ‘Rey, the number of guns to each, the number of work- men and kind of labor employed, the number of sol- diers im each, and what additions, if any, have been made since the 20th inst.; also, whether any assurance has been given that the forts will not be reinforced, and if #0, to what extent; also what police or other regula- tions have been made, if any, in reference to the de- fences of the harbor of Charleston, the const and the State. Laid on the table for consideration in scoret ses- sion. Mr. Brown offered a resolution that all citizens of the United States, domiciled within this State on the adoption of the Ordinance of Secession, on December 20, 1860, be and the same are hereby declared citizens of South Carolina, entitled to all the privileges and subject to all the liabilities incident thereto Mr. Brown said that there was a number of merito- rious citizens in the State who are citizens by adoption, and that there were a well founded wpprebension in their minds as to the extent of their allegiance. ‘There were two methods by which individuals could be- come citizens of Eouth Carolina—by birth and adoption. Birth gives unqualified citizenship in the State, and a re- lative citizenship in the United States. By naturaliza- tion persons were made citizens, and by virtue of being euch were made citizens of South Carolina. In 1832 the constitution of South Carolina was amended and foreigners ‘were required to take an additional oath of State—one of true allegiance to South Carolina, or so long as they con- tinued citizens thereof, and sometimes in another me- thed—that of atest oath. Mr. Brown said also a period must be adopted for the subject. I don’t mean nor con- template making involuntary citizens of those acciden- tally domiciiated at the period of the adoption of the Ordinance of Secession. Mr. Kenmanrp moved that when the Convention adjourn to-morrow it be until the 18th proximo, or until such time ag the President should order it to reassemble, Laid ‘on the table. Mr. Ruerr offered an ordinanoe providing for the hold- ing of aConvention of the slaveholding States of the United States, for the purpose of framing a constitution and forming a Southern confederacy, and moved to lay it on the table without reading it. ‘Mr. Muanoxose doubted if there was authority for re- cetving a paper in a public deliberative assembly without having at least one reading of it. Mr. Ruerr then read the ordinance himself. It pro- ‘vides as follows:— Fird—That the Conventions of the secedi paling of the United States unite with South Carolina Convention at Montgomery, Alabama, for the pur- ‘the said States appoint by their FS lina, in convention assembled, do is hereby declared and ordained Firt.—That all citizens of this State, connected with the Customs, under the ge ment of the United States,’ within the limite Carolina, he and they are hereby appoi & i ; iE nted vo hold, the went of this State, exclusively, without any fur whatever, with the govern ment of the United States they fll until otherwise directéd, and that they receive fame and emoluments for their se: —! until this convention of general assembly shall otherwise prévide, shall appoint to all vacancies which may cccur in such offiees.

Further revelations show that Russell, Majors & Oo.’s contract has two years to run. The alleged acceptances of the Secretary of War are said to consist of mere memo- randa, stating that #0 much money would be due on the execution of certain service, under the contract for the transportation of army supplies, which Russell from time to time used as collateral security in borrowing money. Such memoranda, or certificates, have heretofore been given by the other departments under like circumstan- cos. Godard Bailey, in his letter of confes- sion to Secretary Thompson, enys that no officer of the government had any complicity or the slightest knowledge of the fact of his having abstracted the bonds, and that it was confined to the persons direct- ly implicated and heretofore named. As to the bail required of Russel, it having been agreed w take two hundred thousand dollars outside the juris- diction of the court, Senator Green and representatives Woodson and Barrett, all of Missouri, bave gone his seou - rity for this amount. Despatches from Russell's friends in Miasouri this even- ing announce that indemnity bonds, representing two millions, were sent by mail this morning, as guarantees to parties who should go upon the required bail bond, and no doubt Russell will be released before to-morrow night. More recent developements in the case of Bailey having convinced the authorities that the present bail was entirely inadequate, the amount will be largely increased. After a careful examination it has been ascertained that the apprehensions of a defalcation in the Treasury Department are entirely groundless. It is scarcely pos- sible to default, under the present act, in the coin de- partment, as @ stri¢t count of all coin, in presence of three persons, if frequently made. Equally falee is the report that an officer has been dis- patched to arrest Governor Cobb, who is allleged to be a defaulter. They are coined out of whole cloth. ° Secretary Floyd ie preparing a letter, which will be communicated to Congress to-morrow or next day, stating all the facts so far as his Department is con- cerned in regard to the acceptances found in the Interior Department, with the Indian trust bonds. “He ly exculpates himself from all taint of suspicion, and throws the responsfbility where it justly belongs—upon the Interior Department.
