Many strong secessionists yielded to the choice of Mr. P., with a hope of saving the Union. H. Deskins has no opposition in Floyd, B. F. Wyson none in Pulaski. He is for secession if the Commissioners at Washington fall. We have had any quantity of snow and rain this winter. Last night, a small snow.

The Southern Confederacy Convention. Montgomery,Feb. 5.--The Convention met again this morning and proceeded to business. During a discussion on the adoption of rules, Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, said "the rules were made on the Principle that we are a Congress of sovereign and independent States, and we must vote as States." Pending a discussion on the adoption of resolutions providing for the appointment of a committee to report a form of Provisional Government, the Convention went into secret session. A bill appropriating $500,000 to the cause of Southern independence passed both Houses of the Alabama Legislature to-day. The Governor has signed the bill legalizing bank suspensions. The stay law was defeated in the Senate, but an effort will be made to-morrow to reconsider it, which, it is thought, will be successful.
