Commissioners. The President.--Gentlemen of the Convention, in pursuance of a resolution adopted by your body, I now introduce to you the Hon. Fulton Anderson, Commissioner on behalf of the State of Mississippi. Mr. Anderson, after a graceful acknowledgment of the reception, said he intended to detain the Convention but a few minutes, for the purpose of briefly discharging the duty imposed on him by his State, and would then yield the floor to the Commissioners from Georgia and South Carolina, States older and more distinguished, and having a more ancient claim than the State he represented.--They would present more conspicuously than be could the causes which operated on the States which have recently taken steps in vindication of their rights. In the name of the people of Mississippi, he expressed sentiments of admiration and esteem for the ancient and renowned Commonwealth of Virginia. Nothing that concerned her honor failed to create a deep interest in his State. H

Able speeches were delivered by Hon. Fulton Anderson, of Mississippi, and Hon. Hemet L. Benning, of Georgia, sketches of which will be found in our report. The Convention will be addressed to-day by Hon, John S. Preston, Commissioner from South Carolina.

The slave Trade in South Carolina. The Northern Republican journals are chuckling hugely over the conceit that because a few gentlemen in South Carolina desire the re-opening of the slave trade, therefore she will secede from the new ConfederacSouth Carolina desire the re-opening of the slave trade, therefore she will secede from the new Confederacy, which has at once planted itself in opposition to the measure. This is either amazing ignorance or willful misrepresentation. We have published already the most explicit statements from the most reliable sources in South Carolina, that the vast South Carolina, that the vast preponderance of public sentiment in that State is against the renewal of the African slave trade, and our own personal observation in South Carolina has satisfied us that she is no more in favor of it than Virginia. The enemies of the South need lae is against the renewal of the African slave trade, and our own personal observation in South Carolina has satisfied us that she is no more in favor of it than Virginia. The enemies of the South need lay no such flattering unction to their souls.

tising columns of the Charleston Mercury of Friday. The name attached to it is that of the President of the South Carolina College, and who, about the time that the Brooklyn was first rumored to be preparing for a visit to Charleston, published a pamphlet imploring the authorities and citizens of that city not to oppose her entrance to the harbor, and avoid thus the responsibility of initiating civil war: Fort Sumter.--The time is approaching when Fort Sumter will probably be attacked. Let the assailants remember that the garrison, are in the main, poor hirelings, bound to obey the orders of their superiors, and, doubtless, not disposed to fight if they could avoid it; that they are not responsible for the acts of the President, or of the United States, and that not one of them should be put to death, but as a necessary measure to secure the fort to South Carolina. Let not one be killed after the fort is surrendered; let as little blood be shed as possible. A. B. Longstreet.
