From South Carolina. Charleston, Jan. 2 --The Convention reassembled this morning, and the President announced that Commissioners to Georgia and Texas had been elected by ballot in secret session. The Columbia Artillery, 50 strong, arrived to-day at 1 o'clock, and proceeded down to the harbor. They are ordered to otical relations. This step, the Committee says, by no means arises from presumptuous arrogance, but from the advanced position which circumstances have given South Carolina in the line of procedure for the great design of maintaining the rights, security and very existence of the slaveholding States of the South. The Constitutiotop the execution of the opinion of the Supreme Court; that it presents a complete scheme of confederation, capable of being speedily operated. The people of South Carolina cherished and felt safe under it in their own hands, on the interpretation of the Administration, especially the portions that have been, by permission, made

ortion of the immense number and magnitude of railroads in this country has been made between 1860 and 1860, and almost altogether between 1850 and 1857. To show this clearly and strikingly, we will present the length of railroads in each State. In each of the years 1850 and 1860, as near as we can ascertain them. The following table presents that view, viz: .1859.1860. Maine116 miles.476 miles.

f the nullifying acts of the North, because they do not lose any negroes by escape. Well established facts prove this to be a mistake. According to the census of 1850, those States suffer nearly as much as the border States in this way. In 1850, the whole number of slaves which escaped was 1,011, and they were from the several States as follows: Alabama29 Missouri60 Arkansas21 Delaware26 Florida18 Georgia89 Kentucky96 Louisiana90 Maryland279 Mississippi41 North Carolina64 South Carolina66 Tennessee70 Texas29 Virginia83 Total1,011 The New York Times thinks the number has since increased full fifty per cent., which would give 1,500 a year, the aggregate value of which is $1,500,000. It will be seen that while the loss of the border States is of course much the greatest Georgia, in 1850, lost within seven as many as Kentucky, and Louisiana within six as many; so that the popular idea that the extreme Southern States do not suffer in this way is erroneous.

Pryor's resolution adverse to coercion produced quite a scene in the House yesterday.--There was some danger of a fight. McClernard of Illinois, and Barksdale of Mississippi, were ready to begin at a second's notice.--Both are men of undoubted pluck. All the members, I am told, go armed now. Pryor's resolution was tabled — the Abolitionists being unwilling to "face the music," and record their votes in favor of what they at heart desire. There was some talk of a mob attack on the South Carolina Commissioners last night, but it proved to be "all talk and no elder." Trescott has gone to Charleston on a secret mission, and the Commissioners await his return. Anderson may be removed, but Fort Sumter will remain in command of a U. S. officer.--Holt, the acting Secretary of War, is a Kentuckian by birth, but in fact a cosmopolite, having lived abroad too long to retain much love for any section of the Republic. He inclines to coercion, but there are private reasons which will forbi

La Belle France. If the Secession movement of South Carolina has clearly demonstrated that the South has no friends of its institutions in the Old World, and that it ought neither to expect nor desire alliances in another hemisphere, it is, at all events, gratifying to find that there is one nation in Europe, which, however it may differ from America in its form of government, in its laws and language and in its ideas about slavery, is in reality a true and faithful friend, showing itself such by counsels and by language, which are the evident utterances of unaffected good will and good wishes. This nation in France, our old ally, the most chivalric and the most martial power of Europe, a nation of soldiers and gentlemen, who have been misunderstood and misrepresented in this country, because through England all our views of continental nations are derived, England, which is the most ancient and unforgiving rival of France, and whose journals never hesitate to defame any race or

Pennsylvania arming. The statement that Pennsylvania proposed to raise one hundred thousand troops and appropriate five or six millions of dollars, (for the subjugation of the South,) must, we suppose, be received with considerable qualification. It was only the other day that the Republican papers proved that it would cost South Carolina six millions a year to keep up a force of ten thousand volunteers, just the amount on which, according to this highly probable statement, Pennsylvania proposes to raise one hundred thousand! If the calculations of the Republican journals are true, then, instead of a loan of six millions, Pennsylvania will have to borrow sixty millions; a pretty round sum to begin with. She would do a good deal better to employ that amount, if she can raise it, in building works of public improvement, instead of preparing to attack other States. It must never be forgotten that when we hear of one of those Northern States arming, it is not for purposes of

iken. It has already been stated that Capt. Coste, of the United States revenue cutter William Aiken, at Charleston, had resigned his commission. It is now alleged that he subsequently swore in his crew as sailors of the independent State of South Carolina, and hoisting the Palmetto flag, proclaimed the vessel and her appurtenances the property of the said independent State. The officers under Captain Coste were--First Lieut. Underwood; second Lieut. H. O. Porter, (a son of the late Commodore Porter,) and third Lieut. H. J. Gambrill, of Md. It is stated that when Captain C. took possession of the brig in the name of South Carolina, they immediately retired to the city and notified the Department at Washington of Coste's act, themselves a waiting further orders from the General Government.
