inner. A portion of the able-cloth used was brought over on the "Mayflower." Among the speakers were James W. Soutler, President of the Old Dominion Society, (on whose introduction nine cheers were given for "Old Virginia,") Hansinal Hamlin, Judge Pierpont, and Wm. H. Seward. The speech of Mr. Seward was a complete evasion of the questions of the day, the closing paragraph being, perhaps, as clear as any. This is it: We have a great many statesmen who demand at once to know what the Nortun which has set since that time has set on mollified passions and prejudices, and that if you will only give it time, sixty days more suns will give you a much brighter and more cheerful atmosphere. [Loud and long continued applause.] Judge Pierpont made a speech in which the "Pilgrim Fathers" did not get more than their share of glorification, and their sons got the following: The sons of sires who endured such evils and such sufferings, as cannot be described, to give us this her

urg. Pittsburg, Pa.,Dec. 24. --Intense excitement exists here to-day, in consequence of its being made public that United States Quartermaster Taliaferro was negotiating for the shipment from the Alleghany Arsenal, of seventy-eight guns to Newport, near Galveston Island, Texas, and forty-six more to Ship Island, near Balize, at the mouth of the Mississippi river, the apparent object being to strip the Alleghany Arsenal, and place the guns where the secessionists could get them. Major Symington, of Maryland, in command of the arsenal, declined to give the press any information on the subject. It seems the points referred to are new forts, never yet mounted. These guns were designed for their armament. The guns are ten-inch Columbiads, and carry thirty-two pounders. Carriages for them are being made at Watervliet, N. Y. General Moorhead, our member of Congress, immediately telegraphed Mr. Stanton, Chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs, for information in r

General Moorhead, our member of Congress, immediately telegraphed Mr. Stanton, Chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs, for information in regard to the matter. Leading Democrats telegraphed to Washington to have the orders countermanded, saying that the people would not allow the guns to be removed. A call is in circulation, addressed to the Mayor, to convene a meeting of the citizens, to take action in the matter. The call is signed by prominent men of all parties. The feeling agai

ain, leads me to believe that the separate secessionists will elect seventy-five delegates out of one hundred. The ordinance will probably be passed on the 9th day of January. It is thought that Mississippi will secede on the same day. There is no truth in the reports of large Union gains in Georgia. On the contrary, it is thought by well-informed men in that State that the rejection by the Republican Senators of Mr. Toombs' proposition for constitutional amendments, will induce Mr. Stephens to declare in favor of immediate secession. Gov. Moore issued a proclamation to-day, convening the Legislature of Alabama, to provide, by State laws, for any emergency that may arise from the action of the Convention. The Legislature will assemble on the 14th of January. The Convention meets on the 7th. Mobile, Dec. 21.--The election for delegates to the State Convention, took place to-day.--The separate State Secession ticket in this city is elected by a thousand majority.

stion on that subject, but to hear complaints, to redress them if they ought to be redressed, and if we have the power to redress them, and I expect them to be withdrawn if they are unreasonable, because I know that the necessities which made this Union exist for these States are stronger to-day than they were when the Union was made, and that those necessities are enduring, while the passions of men are short lived and ephemeral. I believe that secession was stronger on the night of the 6th of November inst.--when a President and a Vice President who were unacceptable to the slave States were elected — than it is now. That is now some fifty days since, and I believe that every day's sun which has set since that time has set on mollified passions and prejudices, and that if you will only give it time, sixty days more suns will give you a much brighter and more cheerful atmosphere.

y seek to amuse you with delusive hope until your election, that you may defeat the friends of secession. If you are deceived by them, it shall not be my fault. I have put the test fairly and frankly. It is decisive against you now. I tell you upon the faith of a true man, that all further looking to the North for security for your constitutional rights in the Union ought to be instantly abandoned. It is fraught with nothing but ruin to yourselves and your posterity. Secession by the 4th day of March next should be thundered from the ballot-box by the unanimous voice of Georgia, on the 2d day of January next. Such a voice will be your best guarantee for liberty, security, tranquility and glory. R. Toombs. The Minute Girls of South Carolina.

Montgomery, Dec. 24. --The election is passing off quietly in this city, there being no opposition to the secession ticket. The most reliable information that I can obtain, leads me to believe that the separate secessionists will elect seventy-five delegates out of one hundred. The ordinance will probably be passed on the 9th day of January. It is thought that Mississippi will secede on the same day. There is no truth in the reports of large Union gains in Georgia.

Senator Trumbull is having his residence put in order for the reception of his expected guest, the President elect, who is expected here in February. Mrs. Lincoln will be accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Edwards, from whose roof, by the way, she eloped with "Old Abe," then a briefless attorney.--Cor. Philadelphia Press. Spending Christmas.

he young ladies came down in yesterday's train, a distance of over a hundred miles, to see what was going on here, and, as a speaker said, to cheer the sterner sex on to duty. The band, accompanied by a large crowd, serenaded them at the Assembly House, and the young ladies appeared on the balconies with the letters M. G. on the front of their jockeys, and cockades on the side, and gave the assembled crowd a most vigorous reception.--The compliment of the serenade was acknowledged by the Rev. Dr. Curtis, on behalf of the young ladies, in a speech that was well calculated to make warriors out of all who heard him — not even excepting the girls. Other gentlemen followed in short speeches, and the fun was kept up until nearly midnight, the crowd leaving with three cheers and a tiger for the "Minute Girls of Carolina."
