eat and exciting assemblage Milledgeville, Ga., on Thursday night. The Mon. A. M. Stephens addressed the meeting in opposition to succession. We copy an abridged re "The feelings and passions of the audience were evidently stronger against Mr. Stephens than for him at first, but he was listened to attentively and greeted with men let us adjourn." This gallant act showed that though he differs with Mr. Stephens on public policy, he still cherishes him for the admiration which the noble s compelled, by the calls for him, to speak, and replied to the allusions of Mr. Stephens, to the divisions at Charleston, and to other points which we cannot notice. Some of the Committee who invited Mr. Stephens to speak, objected to Mr. Jackson's having the stand, when he stepped upon the top of a desk and proceeded amid aich 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

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.

ere erected, and the principal merchants took seats. The flag was then hoisted, amid the tremendous cheering of the populace and the greatest excitement ever known here. When the cheering succeeding the hoisting of the flag subsided, Rev. C. P. Gadsden made the following prayer: O, God! our refuge and strength, the shield of our help and the sword of our excellency, we come before Thee to express our dependence upon Thy succor, and our need of Thy guidance and defence. The libertil express so much joy and pleasure as when the flag of South Carolina was raised to the truck of the lofty mast, and flung out to the winds at Heaven, bearing as it did our illustrious motto.--" animus opibusque parati." After a prayer by the Rev. C. P. Gadsden, speeches breathing the mast devoted patriotism were made by Col. T. G. Barker, Dr. F. M. Robertson, and Col. F. Canneau, who was speaking when we left. The enthusiasm of the day and occasion we have never seen equalled. The flags a

The Convention will probably sit a week, but the first thing done will be secession.-- McGrath is much talked of as the commissioner to settle with the government the terms of secession. He is learned, firm and cool. Public confidence in the success and beneficial results of the revolution grows stronger daily. At Columbia, S. 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. The Columbia Guardian says: The following from Virginia, is accompanied by the subjoined tender, in form, signed by a number of citizens of Madison
and who would, therefore, have power to appoint Breckinridge Democrats in the Cabinet, and other offices. He answered Mr. Toombs' argument against fishing bounties and navigation laws, by showing that the South had supported them, for the purpose of encouraging men to become sailors, and to build up our marine; but agreed with Mr. Toombs that the time had come when they should be repealed, and regretted that his distinguished friend, equalled in eloquence and power by no man in the Senate, hadhis friend, that he would appeal to his sword for redress, if his State denied it to him. (Here the stentorian voice of Mr. Toombs, who was sitting by the stand, was heard to say, 'I will,' and the hall thundered with applause in response to the revo was listened to attentively and greeted with much applause. "At its close loud calls were made for Jackson — when Mr. Toombs ascended the stand, and waving his hat, said--Three cheers for my honored friend — than whom there is not a brighter in

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 was another great demonstration tonight. The stand near the pole was beautifully illuminated. Speeches were made by Captain Thomas, of the State Military Academy, who assured the audience that the Cadets were ready at a moment's notice; also by Chancellor Carroll, and Messrs. Mikell, Cooper, Tennent, Kirkwood and others. To-day the citizens are raising a great clamor for the banks to suspend now. It is supposed that it may be done about the middle of next week. The notes here, however, are as good as gold. The Bank of Charleston to-day hoisted the State flag. Notwithstanding the stringency in money affairs, the city is lively and business quite brisk.

Avert from our land the horrors of war; but whatever we may be called upon to endure be Thou our fortress and defence. 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. Barker, Robertson, Canneau, Hammond and Northrop. The Washington Artillery paraded, and fired one hundred guns as the flag went up. Bells were rung and the band played the Marseilles Hymn. This fired up the French element of our population. After the Marseilles, the band played the "Miserere," from " Trovatore," for the Union. The flag is white, with a Palmetto tree in the centre, and bears the words "Anim

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. 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 mo
