r, I tender you our services, as stated in said paper. This is a copy taken by me from the original, which I retain for the purpose of enlarging the number. We expect to increase the number to fifty. 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. We are looking with the greatest anxiety to South Carolina, and it would greatly cheer and strengthen us if we can be apprized that she will promptly secede. Yours truly.

Virginia, believing that South Carolina will be the first to raise the standard for States-Rights and Southern liberty, against the encroachments of Northern fanaticism and Federal tyranny, do hereby tender their services to fight under her flag whenever she shall signify her wish to receive them, unless Virginia shall first require their aid. "Nov. 8th, 1860." The nominations for the State Convention in South Carolina have commenced. In Richland and Sumpter districts the candidates nominated are "all pledged to secession." In the latter district two of them are ministers of the Gospel. The excitement in Charleston continues. The Evening News of Saturday says: The first liberty pole that has ever been raised in the city, has been inaugurated to-day, amidst the smiles of lovely women, the hearty applause of men, the firing of cannon, and the sweet strains of music. Never have we seen the countenances of all express so much joy and pleas

Mr. Jackson was 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 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. While, as yet, no particular mode of relief is before us, on wh

That the passions and animosities engendered by recent contests may soon give place to reason and patriotism; that calm and wise counsels may prevail, and fraternal feeling be restored; that the Constitution may be preserved inviolate, and the Union maintained forever, is the ardent hope and fervent prayer of your friend and fellow citizen, "S. A. Douglas. "New Orleans, November 13, 1860." Cockades in the Pulpit. The Clayton (Ala.) Banner says that on Sunday last the Rev. Alexander McLennon, of the Methodist persuasion, preached in the Methodist Church of that town, with "the tricolor rosette conspicuous on his vest." Hon. John Forsyth advertises in the Mobile (Ala.) Register for eighty able-bodied men.--He wishes to form a military company for the protection of the honor and rights of Alabama.

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 revolutionary declaration.) "He dwelt at some length on slavery as the cause of our difficulties, because it had been misunderstood — thought it was growing stronger every day, and he was willing to submit it even to the 'irrepressible conflict' of Seward. "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 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 intellect or truer heart in Georgia, and then let us adjourn."

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 county:
