Jan. 8. The Southern Confederacy (published at Atlanta, Ga.), a paper which has been fighting most gallantly for the Union and the laws, says of the late election for members of the Georgia Convention: It is a notable fact, that, wherever the Minute Men, as they are called, have had an organization, those counties have voted, by large majorities, for immediate secession.
