Alabama Legislature.

Montgomery, Jan. 19.
--The House to-day passed a bill to provide against the invasion of the State by sea; declares that pilots bringing vessels into Mobile are liable to a fine and imprisonment in the penitentiary, and also authorizing the commander of Fort Morgan to destroy the beacon and landmarks in his discretion, and contract for the construction of a telegraph line to Point Clear, in order to more speedily communicate with Fort Morgan.

It is understood that J. J. Hooper, Esq., of the Montgomery Mail, will be a candidate for clerk of the Southern Congress. He will be strongly supported by the secessionists.
