tport, on the Cherokee, for Mobile, an old gentleman, 70 years of age, came to him with one son and two grandsons, and enlisted them in the company, and then being unable to restrain his feelings, shed tears, remarking to the Captain that he did not cry because the boys were going but because he was too old to go himself. Judge Roosevelt, the present United States District Attorney for New York, has resigned his office, the resignation to take effect on the 4th of March next. Lieutenant Jewett, of the navy, has arrived in Washington from Pensacola. He states that he was arrested by the authorities of Florida, who held him in custody until he gave his parole of honor that he would never take up arms against the State of Florida. The facts in the case have been communicated to the Navy Department. The New York State Democratic Convention--interesting Scenes.

heir power to avert civil war. Concession, conciliation — anything but that — and no man amongst us in his dying hour will regret that his conscience is clear, and that he can lay his hand upon his heart and say, "I did all in my power to turn from the bosom of my country the horrible blow of a civil war." Immense sensation followed the remarks of the venerable old Chancellor, and the deep silence that had attended his remarks was followed by an enthusiastic outburst of applause. Mr. George, of Orange, and Mr. Souter, of Queens, each natives of Virginia, responded in touching terms to the remarks of Chancellor Walworth, and a large portion of the Convention gave vent to their feelings in tears.--The scene was rendered yet more impressive and affecting when Mr. W. H. Carroll took the floor, and with all the eloquence of deep feeling appealed to the North to stay its hand ere it did any act to plunge the country in civil war.

ot down by my side. I know, then, the horrors of a foreign war, and they are nothing as compared with the horrors of a civil war. A civil war is a war among brethren. We are all brethren in this confederacy of States--the people of the South are our brethren — not only nominally, but actually our brethren. In Georgia alone, I have the names of one thousand citizens whose ancestors were the near relatives of my own. In the same State alone, are over one hundred relatives of the family of Hillhouse, whose name is known as that of one of the patriots of the Revolution, and whose descendant now occupies a seat in our State Senate. And so, scattered all over the Southern States are the near relatives of the men of the North, and perhaps there is scarcely a member of this Convention who has not some such ties in the States of the South. It would be as brutal, in my opinion, to send men to butcher our own brothers of the Southern States, as it would be to massacre them in the Northern S

John Boston, Collector of Customs for Savannah, has resigned his post, and been returned by the Georgia authorities. The Portsmouth (Va.) Transcript, of Saturday, says, that on Friday a steamer ran into Old Point and took off a quantity of ammunition. It is not known where it was sent to. Capt A. C. Jones informed us, says the Demopolis (Ala) Gazette, that when about to embark his company at Eastport, on the Cherokee, for Mobile, an old gentleman, 70 years of age, came to him with one son and two grandsons, and enlisted them in the company, and then being unable to restrain his feelings, shed tears, remarking to the Captain that he did not cry because the boys were going but because he was too old to go himself.

up a fire on Sumter from these three forts for twenty-four hours before an attempt is made to assault the stronghold of Uncle Sam. The impression is that a breach can be made in the walls, and that Major Anderson's limited garrison will be so worn out by the severe labors of working the guns incessantly for so long a time, that the storming party on rafts will be able to accomplish the escalade without much difficulty or loss of life. Fort Moultrie, under the skillful direction of Major Ripley, with his black brigade of picks and shovels, has thrown up breastworks and mounted heavy guns to such an extent that the whole appearance of the for has changed, and has almost attained its utmost state of efficiency. Huge heaps of sand-bags surmount the ramparts, faced with Palmetto logs and covered with hides, from the embrasures of which the grim dogs of war protrude their muzzles, nine of them levelled direct at Fort Sumter. What is conceived to be the weakest point in the granite

amendments to the Constitution of the United States. The resolutions strenuously oppose civil war, and urge the seceding and non-seceding States to join hands in staying the progress of dissolution. On the resolutions being read, Chancellor Walworth appeared on the platform, and his venerable looks claimed instant attention from the Convention, and he was received with an outburst of enthusiastic applause.--He said: Gentlemen of the Convention: I am far advanced in years and not cellor, and the deep silence that had attended his remarks was followed by an enthusiastic outburst of applause. Mr. George, of Orange, and Mr. Souter, of Queens, each natives of Virginia, responded in touching terms to the remarks of Chancellor Walworth, and a large portion of the Convention gave vent to their feelings in tears.--The scene was rendered yet more impressive and affecting when Mr. W.
