The seizure of ships at Savannah. The following is the letter written by Gov. Brown in ordering the seizure of the New York ships, at Savannah, on the 21st: Executive Department Milledgeville Feb. 21st, 1861. Sir On the fifth day of this month I directed you to call out sufficient military force, and seize all ships then in the harbor of Savannah belonging to citizens of the State of New York. The reasons for the seizure were briefly stated in the order. Citizens of this State had been robbed of their property by the police of New York, acting under the authority of that State. I had demanded the restoration of the property to its owners. The Governor of that State had given an evasive reply, excepting to the form of the demand sent by telegraph; which clearly evinced his disposition not to comply by ordering the restoration of the property. If the protection of this State were not in such case afforded to its citizens, it not only invited further aggressions upo

Frozen to death. --Mrs. O'Toole, an old lady residing in Utica, left her home on the morning of the 8th inst., to visit her sick daughter two miles distant. She started to return in the afternoon, but was not seen again till Saturday noon, when, about sixty rods from her home, shocking to relate, they discovered the body of Mrs. O'Toole standing against the fence, frozen stiff! The ruthless storm had made rude havoc with the grey locks of the old lady, filling them with sleet and frost, and then piled the snow about her lifeless form.

by citizens of New York, met my highest approval. The seizure was made on the morning of the eighth of this month. On the evening of that day, I mailed to the Governor of New York, at Albany, a communication stating the fact of the seizure, with the reasons for it; and that I should hold the ships till justice should be done the injured citizens of this State, by the restoration of the property of which they had been robbed by the police of the city of New York. On the night of the ninth inst., I received a telegraphic dispatch from G. B. Lamar, of New York, whom I had appointed agent to receive the guns seized by the police, if delivered up by the authorities, stating that the guns were then at the command of their owners, and asking me to release the ships. At the same time I received a dispatch from Mr. John Boston, the Collector of the port of Savannah, stating that he had just been informed by Mr. Lamar, that the guns had been delivered up. Regretting the necessity w

From California. Fort Kearney, Feb. 23. --The Pony Express, from San Francisco on the 9th, has arrived.--No more failures are reported. The next shipment of gold will be light. In the Legislature the Douglasites had made a favorable movement for Mr. Denver. The day for the election of Senator had not been appointed. All the workmen at the Navy Yards, forts and other public works on the coast had been discharged.

Terrible tragedy. --We have been informed of the outlines of a terrible tragedy which occurred in Sumter county, near Adamsville, on the 13th inst. A man by the name of Andrews, who was until recently a Methodist preacher, killed, on that day, two persons, Messrs. McLellan, and G. M. Condry, and wounded two others, Lang and Clyatt. He was immediately arrested, and hung on the following day.--Fernandina Floridian, 20th.

rmation from abroad as to prices, styles, numbers and kinds of cotton yarns saleable in foreign markets. The Convention was addressed by Messrs. Fulton, Brumby, Bayton and other gentlemen. Mr. Bayton made a statement of the financial, commercial and industrial issues, bound up in the political future of the South. He argued that separate political existence, unaccompanied by financial and commercial independence, was but the shadow without the substance of liberty. A resolution was adopted in favor of a Cotton Spinners' and Planters' Convention, at Atlanta, on the 19th ult., --and inviting all the Cotton States, in favor of Direct Trade, to send delegates. There is palpable truth in the argument of Mr. Batton. "Separate political existence, unaccompanied by financial and commercial independence, is but the shadow without the substance of liberty." The practical sense for which Georgia is pre-eminent will never rest satisfied until it has accomplished this essential object.

Reinforcement of Fort Sumter. The Boston Journal, of 20th inst., says: "We have information in which we place confidence, that the United States steamer Brooklyn, on her way to Pensacola, landed a detachment of troops with provisions at Fort Sumter. They were put into the fort by night, in boats propelled with muffled oars. One of the boats was fired into on the way, but no damage was done. The shot was fired at random, and the secessionists probably made up their minds that it was a false alarm, as the bombardment was not continued. The secret has been well kept by the officers of the Brooklyn."

George D. Shoeman and Solomon Hessingro, hucksters in the Second Market, were carried before the Mayor yesterday for violating a market ordinance, by obstructing 6th street, on the night of the 22d, with their wagons.--Hessenger owns a stall, and put a wagon loaded with a bag of potatoes adjacent thereto, to keep off rivals. Shoeman found the wagon and removed it, substituting his own loaded vehicle. Hessinger thought the big of potatoes constructively load enough to exempt him from pecuniary damage. Unfortunately the Mayor did not coincide in opinion with him, and a fine of $5 was assessed. Shoeman was discharged.
