rth Carolina and Virginia, he said: We see North Carolina proverbially slow in joining in this cause; but I fully believe she will be with you before long. If North Carolina is slow, she is sure, and when she makes a move she can be depended upon. A portion of that State, I believe, was the first to proclaim the separation of the then existing union with the mother country. If the citizens of North Carolina claimed, as they did, to be sons of the patriots who declared independence in 1775, at Mecklenberg, and did not follow South Carolina, they would give the lie to their fathers, and show themselves spurious progeny of noble sires. [Applause] I do not believe that North Carolina will take that position. As to Virginia, would to God I could give you a better account; but there are many reasons that do not influence you why the border States should hesitate before taking this step.

And, in this declaration, we heartily, deliberately, unanimously and solemnly Unite. Virginians in the field. In Charleston, Friday night, Mr. Edmund Ruffin was serenaded, and replied by a speech. In speaking of North Carolina and Virginia, he said: We see North Carolina proverbially slow in joining in this cause; but I fully believe she will be with you before long.

In a letter, replying to one from a number of citizens of New Orleans, asking his views relative to Lincoln's election, SenatSenator Douglas says: "I do not anticipate, nor do I deem it possible in the present condition of the country, that, under the administration of Mr. Lincoln, any act can be perpetrated that would destroy or impair the Constitutional rights of the citizen, or invade the reserved rights of the States upon the subject of slavery; buthe Constitution may be preserved inviolate, and the Union maintained forever, is the ardent hope and fervent prayer of your friend and fellow citizen, "S.

k, objected to Mr. Jackson's having the stand, when he stepped upon the top of a desk and proceeded amid a scene of confusion which was quite exciting, and came very near being serious. The speech of Mr. Stephens in the main met the approval of those who are not for immediate action. His policy, if carried out, will either restore the Government to a constitutional basis or force us to a dissolution. The Baptist State Convention of Alabama, in session at Montgomery, on the 14th inst., adopted a preamble and resolutions, presented by Rev. Basil Manly, which set forth the following: From the administration of the Federal Government, as things are — especially with reference to our peculiar property recognized by the Constitution — we can no longer hope for justice, protection or safety. We have supposed ourselves entitled to equality of rights, as citizens of this republic. We are not willing to surrender them, even at the risk of life and all we hold most dear.

Mail says: The whole indebtedness, to the North for goods is virtually and by common consent postponed until we all get straight at the South. In some places, lawyers send back Northern notes sent them for collection; everywhere business men refuse to pay such, on the ground that our interests at present require that we should have no draft on our resources. Besides this, specie is pouring into our Southern Banks, as we learn on the best authority. Thus, after a very little while, our monetary affairs will become as satisfactory as ever; the coin will come from Europe, and cotton will command fair prices. The Charleston Courier says: The difficulty lately experienced here in negotiating even the shortest exchange on New York and Boston, may have occasioned some temporary inconvenience, but its results, otherwise, have been most gratifying. Every steamer from the North brings in heav

Our people in this county, I think, are in favor of immediate secession, but need to be aroused. We have active friends, earnestly at work, whose labors are telling with striking effect. We have invited Gov. Wise to address us on the 22d. The subject will be publicly discussed next week in Greene, and the week after in Culpeper. I think it quite probable that a Convention of this State will he held. The immediate secession of one or more cotton States will greatly strengthen us in Virginia.

During the speaking processions poured in from different sections of the city, with music and cannon, each saluting the Palmetto banner. On the dwellings there are hung out banners with such mottoes as "Now or never;" "No step backward;" "The argument is ended;" "Stand to your arms;" "South Carolina goes it alone — her trumps, McGrath, Colcock and Connor — with these she claims a march."--The tricolor flag was hung out from the theatre, with the words inserted-- Dieu et nos droits. Secession badges have become universal.--Even children are all adorned by mothers with the blue ribbon. All classes are arming for the contingency of coercion. Revolvers and patent fire arms are selling like hot cakes. Not a ship in the harbor has the federal flag flying, but far down the Bay it can still be discerned flying over Fort Moultrie. There

Oh, God! our fathers have declared unto us the noble works which Thou didst in their days. Continue Thy goodness to us their children, and make us that happy people whose good is the Lord, through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.--Amen. After the prayer, speeches were made by Messrs.

C., Saturday night, after the opera of Norman, Miss Annie Milner appeared with the Palmetto flag and sung the Marseilles hymn, slightly altered to suit the times. The effect was tremendous. The Executive of South Carolina is daily in receipt of letters from various Southern States proffering the services of volunteers to the State, in the event of the secession of South Carolina.
