Jan. 19. The State Convention of Georgia has adopted the secession ordinance by a vote of two hundred and eight against eighty-nine.--(Doc. 22.) A motion to postpone the operation of the ordinance until the 3d of March was lost by about thirty majority. Alexander H. Stephens and Herschel V. Johnson are among those who voted against the ordinance. The ordinance of secession is ordered to be engrossed on parchment, and to be signed on Monday at noon. Judge Linton Stephens says that, while he approves of the ordinance, he sees no reason for its adoption now. He therefore will not vote for or sign it. Unusual demonstrations of approbation are being made at Milledgeville to-night in honor of the adoption of the ordinance, including the firing of cannon, the letting off of sky-rockets, the burning of torches, and music and speeches.--Richmond Enquirer.

The President assented to Mr. Seward's view, and it was withheld till the fall, when it was issued almost precisely as originally prepared. The one to which Mr. Chase supplied the concluding sentence was the final Proclamation, issued on the subsequent first of January. The Legislature of Georgia in both branches to-day adopted Linton Stephens's peace resolutions, earnestly recommending that our government, immediately after every signal success of our arms, when none can impute its action to alarm instead of a sincere desire for peace, shall make to the government of our enemy an official offer of peace, on the basis of the great principle declared by our common fathers in 1776, accompanied by the distinct expression of a willingness, on our part, to follow that principle to its true logical consequences, by agreeing that an

mac or the Ohio is attributed to the same desire not to arouse the war spirit of the North. Mr. Stephens, the Vice-President, was decided in his views that the Confederacy should ally itself with theracy being willing thereto. In the Georgia legislature a series of resolutions offered by Linton Stephens defined very clearly the position of the South, and said, We hail with gratification the jupeace entered upon, that very moment we would approach nearer to an auspicious result. Vice-President Stephens zealously supported the policy that some decided and prominent action should be taken boccasion which required him to allude to the subject. It must be kept clearly in mind that Mr. Stephens and others who associated with him in urging the Confederate administration to initiate durincure peace on this continent for ages to come. In every view I can take of the subject, said Mr. Stephens, I regard the success of the State Rights party at the North of the utmost importance to us.

e of Mr. Davis in his aptness for this kind of work had not been misplaced. After the close of the war General Browne engaged in planting near Athens, Ga., at the same time editing and publishing a periodical called The Farm and Home. He was a member of the first political State Democratic convention held after the surrender. It met in Macon on the 5th of September, 1867. He was also a member cf the Democratic convention of 1870, and was appointed on the executive committee of which Linton Stephens was chairman. General Browne was about this time elected professor of history and political economy in the university of Georgia, which chair he filled at the time of his death at Macon in 1884. He was a journalist of note and the author of an interesting biography of Alexander H. Stephens. Brigadier-General Goode Bryan Brigadier-General Goode Bryan, born in Georgia, was a cadet at the military academy at West Point from 1829 to 1834, when he graduated and entered the United Sta

"When I goes shopping," said an old lady, "I allers asks for what I wants, and if they have it, and it is suitable, and I feel inclined to buy it, and it's cheap, and can't be got at any other place for less, I most allers takes it without chappering about it all day, as most people does." Wm. P. Marrow (not Wm. C. Marrow, as reported yesterday) is the name of the gentleman so inhumanly treated by Lincoln's hirelings at Hampton a few days ago. It is a bad sign to see a man with his hat off, at midnight, explaining the theory and principles of true democracy to a lamp-post. Hon. Linton Stephens, of Georgia, has been elected Captain of a military company in Hancock county, of that State.

rn Commercial Convention, Atlanta, Nov. 13. --The Southern Convention failed to meet yesterday. No delegates made their appearance. This, however, is owing to the Convention movements throughout the South. Georgia. Macon, Nov. 15. --The Joint Committee on the state of the Republic agreed unanimously to report a bill for calling a convention of the people, with a preamble recommending resistance. It is understood that Gov. Brown, A. H. Stephens, H. V. Johnson, Linton Stephens, T. R. Cobb, and all other leading men, have endorsed the bill, and that it will pass unanimously. The legislators differ somewhat on the mode of resistance, but the immediate secession men have a large majority. A. H. Stephens spoke at Milledgeville last night. He favored the State Convention demanding of the States which have nullified the fugitive slave law to repeal their acts, and upon their refusal, which was certain, then the South could go out with clean hands.
