Important from Alabama.

Montgomery, Ala.,, Jan. 19.
--The House passed to-day a bill to provide against the invasion of the State by sea. It makes pilots liable to fine and imprisonment who bring foreign vessels into the harbor of Mobile, and authorizes the commander of Fort Morgan to destroy the beacon and landmarks at his discretion.

A resolution was also passed to make a contract for the construction of a telegraph line to Point Clear, in order to effect a more rapid communication with Fort Morgan.

It is understood that Mr. Hooper, of the Mail, will be a candidate for Clerk of the Southern Congress. He is warmly supported by the secessionists here.

It is impossible to get any information of the secret proceedings of the Convention.
