The Daily Dispatch: December 10, 1860., [Electronic resource], A pension certificate returned. (search)
A pension certificate returned. --Andrew J. Secrist, of South Carolina, a pensioner of the United States on account of disease contracted in the Mexican war, has returned his certificate to the Commissioner of Pensions, and relinquished any further claims on the general government, on the ground that a dissolution of the Union is inevitable. Secrist was a lieutenant in the gallant Palmetto regiment, and for his gallantry in the five hard contested fields in which his regiment was engaged between Vera Cruz and the city of Mexico — Chepultepec, Churubusco, Belen, &c., he was awarded a gold medal by the State of South Carolina. At the city of Mexico he was discharged in consequence of disability for continuing the service, and returned home. Hoping that his youthful vigor would overcome his disease, he declined applying for a pension until the year 1854, but was then driven to it as means of support for himself and family, who were dependent upon his individual exertions for a

e Gulf Shore," and "Lines to Mary," make up a sufficiently varied poetical entertainment. The leading editorial article is a discussion of Disunion, in which the editor advocates immediate secession, and strongly commends the position of South Carolina. The following opening sentence is the key-note of the whole article: "The days of the greatest and happiest Republic the world ever saw are numbered; the fiat has gone forth, and the inexorable fates (reversing the famous exclamation of Andrew Jackson.) have issued the stern and unchangeable decree, "The Union must and shall be dissolved." The article then justifies the attitude of South Carolina, closing its reference to the Palmetto. State thus: "And because her attitude is manly, because her action is wise, because it is expedient, because it is prompt, but in no wise precipitate; and because it ought not to have been postponed, we believe it to be the part of wisdom and of manliness in every Southern State to a

To show the temper of the South, I relate an incident which occurred at the caucus of Southern members night before last.

o pay the salaries of the Customise officers of that port, the receipts for a week being insufficient for the purpose. The Southern Senators held a caucus at the Capitol Saturday, for the purpose of consultation and interchange of views. Although pad selling prevailed, there were no indication leading to the belief that there was any harmonious action among them. Messrs. Powell and Crittenden made strong appeals. To proportion requiring a vote being put forth, the caucus adjourned without affording my hope or prospect of a continued Union, and the full belief is that at least seven cotton sales will leave the Confederacy. Hon. John M. Botts, of Virginia, has written a letter, in which he denounces secession, and says that Virginia should not secede. He invites that the position of South Carolina is held and daring, and that in case of rebellion there he thinks the Federal laws should be replaced. Mr. B. is very bitter in his denun- of the Secession party in that State.

Secession movement at the South. Warlike Preparations--Rev. Dr. Breckinridge--Miscellaneous Items, &c., &c. The mails from the South bring further "note of preparation." The Norfolk (Va. ) Argus is "credibly informed" that the various offers to Governor Gist, of South Carolina, of the personal services of Virginians, in case she should need them, already embrace bands comprising in the aggregate 16,000 men. The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail says twenty-five hogsheads of gunpowder, for the State of Alabama, was received there last week. The steamship Montgomery arrived at Savannah, Ga., a few days since, with 1,000 Sharpe's carbines and 40,000 conical balls, from Hartford, Ct., for the State of Georgia. A letter from the Rev. Dr. Breckinridge, the distinguished Presbyterian divine, of Kentucky, to a friend in New York State, is published. He thinks if the North insists on using the National Government to put down slavery — or if the South insists on using it to perpetuate and

The Georgia and South Carolina Conventions. Charleston, Dec. 6. --The Georgia Senate has rejected the bill calling a Convention of Southern States. This is received as an indication of the intention of Georgia to secede separately. The election for Delegates to the South Carolina Convention was a quiet one. A very full vote was polled. The result will not be known till to-morrow. It is generally conceded that Judge Magrath will lead the ticket. W. Porcher Miles, it is alsashington to the Legislature of that State, announcing that upon learning at any time of the determination of Florida to dissolve connection with the Northern States, he will promptly and joyously return home to support the banner of the State to which he owes allegiance. Col. Blackburn, Federal Marshal for the Northern District of Florida, is closing up the business of his office, preparatory to resigning. The secession feeling in Florida is quite as universal as in South Carolina.
