MlLLlDarviLLl, Deo. 1. Mr. Sprayberry in the House to-day moved an amendment to the retaliatory biH as 4 And whereas, a compact broken by one party ia no longer binding politically, legally, morally, upon the other parties to it; And, whereas, in the opinion of this General Assembly, the States enumerated in the bill have grossly violated the compact of Union by refusing to deliver up fugitives; Be it enacted, That the State of Georgia withdraw its confederated faith from all the States which interpose obstacles to the recovery of our rights under the Constitution. And it is hereby further enacted and declared, that all officers of this State, civil and military, who have taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, are hereby relieved and absolved from the obligations of such oaths in all cases in the courts of this State where States oi the citizens of States who refuse our Constitutional rights arc parties, or are otherwise concerned.

Mr. Sprayberry's amendment was lost ayes 36, nays 89. The retaliatory bill passed the House. Tallahasske, Dec. 2.

The Legislature has unanimously passed the Convention bill. The Convention is to meet on the 3d of January. Milledgeville, Dec. 2. The bank bill authorizes the suspension of specie payments, and suspends the legal collection of all debts till December, 1861.

The Temple was taken possession of by the Union men, who psssed resolutions de-uonncing John Brown, justilying his execution, and lauding Virginia for the act. Fred Douglas, Reilpath, Frank Sanborn, and other well known Abolitionists, vainly endeavored to be heard. Lincoln's Administration. A letter from a Democratic gentleman ot Springfield to a friend in Virginia assures him in tbe most earnest manner that the South has nothing to fear from the administration of Lincoln. He says that he knows Lincoln well, and as a friend of the South and a friend of the country, he feels it his duty to express the firm conviction that Lincoln's administration will be national, patriotic, and give no just cause of offence to any section.

The Springfield writer is a gentlaman of the highest personal character, and a life-bng Democrat. Baltimore American. MEETING IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY. At an adjourned meeting of the citiiena of Cumberland county, held at the Court House ia the town of Fajetteyille, the folio win groceed-inga were had: Alex. Johnson, aa Chairman, haying expressed a desire no longer to serve the meeting in that capacity, on motion ok D.

G. Mc-Rae, a committee of five was appointed to report permanent officers for the Convention, which committee consisted of the following persons, to-wit: D. G. McRae, Jas. W.

Strange, Wm. McL. McKay, David Murphy and Neill McDugald, who after consultation reported the following as permanent officers of the same: Hon. Jessr'G. Shepherd, President; Dan'l McWarinid and Joel Williams, Vice Pres'ts; Jas.

C. Dobbin and J. A. Pemberton, Secretaries. The Convention was then duly organized.

The first business before the Convention being announced as the report of a Committee appointed-at a former meeting, it was moved by M. J. McDuffie, that by reason of informality in the appointment of said Committee the same be discharged, and that the President do now appoint a committee consisting of one from each Captain's District to draft resolutions for the action of the Convention; which motion being carried, the President appointed the following gentlemen to compose said committee: B. R. Huske, Peter Munroe, Duncan Murchi-son, Neill McDugald, Alex.

R. Smith, Wm. G. McDonald, Wm. Cade, David Murphy, Wm.

Alderman, Jas. W. Strange, B. W. Robinson, Charles D.

Nixon. On motion ot Maj. Jno. H. Cook, the Court House being insufficient to accommodate the Convention, it was adjourned to meet forthwith at Farmers' Hall.

The Resolutions of sundry District meetings having been offered, were, on motion, laid on the table. It being announced that the committee appointed to draft resolutions were ready to report, it was moved and carried that the report be received. The committee, through their Chairman, B. R. Huske, reported the following Preamble and Resolutions: Wbireas: The recent election has resulted in the success of a sectional party whose p.ist history is writ ten in a determined and persistent aggression upon the interests of the South, ami whose avotctd policy is totally inconsistent with the preservation of our most sacred rights obtained by force of amis ami soleranH guarantied to us by a Constitution, binding alike upon the whole country: Therefore, be it Resolved.

That the elect ton of Abraham Lincoln, the candidate of this party, to the Presidency of the United States, fhould be productive of serious consideration and unceasing vigilance upon the part of the South, and although not in itself cause for the dissolution of the Union, yet any attempt upon his part to carry out tbe policy of his party, will meet with our most determined resistance. Resolved, That while the Union of these States is dear to us as a heritage bequeathed us by our forefathers, dear to us by every tie which can bind a people to a government, best for us as a nation, and to mankind as an example, so long as its terms are faithfully adhered to; yet that our lives, our liberties, and our honor are dearer to us, and for the preservation of these we must, if the direful necessity be forced upon us, surrender our adherence to it. Resolved. That hoping and believing that a portion of our fellow-citizens of the Northern States love vthe Union aa well as ourselves and are not lust to all sense of justice and humanity, we are willing to make every appeal to their good sense and patriotism to remove the canses of our past differences and present disturbances; but that we are not willing that the present crisis shall pass away without a perfect understanding as to what we are to expect in future, and a definite settlement of the whole slavery question. Resolved, That we recommend to the Legislature of North Carolina, the calling of a State Convention to take into consideration our entire Federal Relations, at as early a day as practicable.

A minority report of Wm. Cade and Charles D. Nixon was offered and received, as follows: Wheeias, The present state of the country demands expression of publio opinion, and it being a privilege guaranteed under the Bill of Rights, and consecrated merican Flag. At this juncture re our national troubles; the flag6f tT8 Urn ia. being treated with contumely and t' asiJur give.

place to "those that were tised Li i cL; spf our colonial vassalage, thei following extract Irom the speech of Mr. Poinsettdelivered at'Charles-ton, S. during the nullification excitement, will be perused with pleasure by al friends of the Union: ''vi "Wherever I have been, I have been proud of being a citizen of this Republic, and to thS, remotest corners of the earth have walked erect nd secure under that banner which our opponents would tear down and trample under foot. I was in Mexico when the town was taken by assault. The house of the American Ambassador was then, as it ought to be, the refuge of the distressed and persecuted; it was pointed out to the infuriated soldiery as a place filled with their enemies.

They rushed to the attack. My only defence was the flag of ray country, and it was flung out at the instant that hundreds of muskets were levelled at us. Mr. Mason (a braver man never stood by his friend in the hour of danger,) and myself placed ourselves beneath its waving folds, and the attack was suspended. We did not blench, for we felt strong in the protecting arm of this mighty Republic.

We told them that the flag that waved over us was the banner of that nation to whose example they owed their liberties, and to whose protection they were indebted for their safety. The scene changed as by enchantment; those men who were on the point of attacking and massa-creing the inhabitants, cheered the flag of our country and placed sentinels to protect it from outrage. Fellow-citizens, in such a moment as that would it have been any protection to me and mine to have proclaimed myself a Carolinian? Should I have been here to tell you thin tale if I had hvny out the Palmetto and Single Star? Ba assured that, to be respected abroad, we must maintain our place in the Union."

It is mv settled conviction, that without such a power we do not afford that protection to those engaged in the com-Bierce of he country which they have a right to demand. Election of Mmbus or Concuss.

I again recommend to Congress the passage of a law in pursuance of the provisions of the Constitution, appointing a day certain, previous to the 4th March, in each year of an odd number, for the election of representatives throughout all the States. A similar power has already been exercised, with general approbation, in the appointment of the same day throughout the Union for holding the election of electors for President and Vice President of the C. S. My attention was directed to this subject from the fact, thai the 35th Congress terminated on the 3d March, 1859, without making the necessary appropriation for the service of the Post Office Department. I waa then forced to consider the best remedy for this omission, and an immediate call of the present Congress was the natural resort.

Upon enquiry, however, I ascertained that 15 out of the 33 States composing the Confederacy were. without representatives, and that, consequently, these fifteen States would be disfranchised by such a calL These fifteen States will be in the same condition on the 4th March next. Ten of them cannot elect representatives, according to existing State laws, until different, periods, extending from the beginning of August next until the months of October and November. In my last message I gave warning that, in a time of Hidden and alarming danger, the salvation of our insti- I unions might depend upon the power of the President nsedialely to assemble a- full Congress, to meet the ewgeacy. It is now quite evident that the financial seeeasiUea of the gov't will require a modification of tae tann during year present session.

lor ine purpose; of increasing the In this aspect, I desire to reiterate the recommendation contained in my last two annual messages, in. favor of imposing specific instead of ad valorem duties on imported articles to which these can be properly applied. From long observation and experience I am convinced that specific duties, are necessary, both ta protect the revenue and to secure to oar manufacturing interests that amount of incidental encouragement whisk unavoidably results from a revenue tariff. i As aa abstract proposition ttaaev be admitted that ad valorem dnhes would, in theory, be the ncct jut and equal. Bat If the ex perieece of this and of all other commercial nations has demon -mated that such duties caaaot be Msaaisit and collected without peal frauds upoa the reveaaa.

thea it ia the part uf wisdom to renin to specific duties. Indeed, from the very nature of aa ad valo-rea duty, this must be the result. Under It the inevitable eonse sueaca is. that foreica goods will be eatered at less thaa their true tsIbw. Toe treasury will, tnerefiire, lose tae duty oa uae siuereacc tetweea their real aad fictitious value, aad in this rxteat we are rfrauded The tumptallusw which ad valorem duties praseat to a dishnaest taporter are trresistibie.

Bis object is to pass his goods throuf the cuuioi-bnase at the vary lowest valuation accessary to save them insa cooSseatjoa. Ia this he too often succeeds in spits of the vigi-ua of the revenue rafvears. Henea the resort iu false knvoces. one )bt tae purchaser aad Bother fix the ctutoro house, aad to other esstients to defraud the gov't. The hoaejt importer produces his wuce to ins collector, stating the actual pries at which he par-anas' the articles abroad.

And barn it may be observed au i very large proportion of the aaaaamciures imam-ted from mi are consigned lor sale to roaimimiiia mcrchaais who are sat treats employed by the manufacturer. Ia snch cases no ac nsi as has been msds to Sx their value.

They dispense with aay Inquiry at the oMsnx-hoose into tbe actual cost or value of the article, aad It pays an precise amoaat of daty previously hsed by law.

Nothing can be more Great Britain glories ta free trade, ami yet her whole revenue frmn imia-ta isatthe present moment collected under a trsteni of specific duties. It ia a striking fact in this connection that, it the cuuiiiiercial treaty af 33d iaauary iWiO, between France and bKitna, ooe ol tne arucxea provaoes tne aa vaioreui amies which it impresses shall be converted Into specific dnties within six aonUu from iu dale, aad these are be ascertained by malting an average of the price for six aiMttefrevkms to that time. The re-'ere nf the proposition would be nearer to tbe truth, because a inch larf -r a. mount of revenue wuuid be collected by merely coo- ren.nt he ad valorem duties Of a tariff into sasnivalent specinc an ws.

To uis extent the revenoe aenid be incrcsierl, and in the ume pmpurtioa the speofle duty might be dimiaished.

62UT THCKSDAT msm; DICXMBIR I860. Coaoasss Nearly all the Senators and about two hundred Representatives were present on Monday; all the South Carolina members present except Mr. Miles, who was on the way. Nothing was done except appointing committees to wait on the President, Good feeling is said to have prevailed on all hands. On Tuesday, the secession portion of the Message reierrcu 0j opeaKer to a Committee of one from each State.

In the Senate its reading waa followed by a speech Mr. Clingman complaining of it and in favor of disunion. Mr Crittenden replied. The Message is attacked by extremists and defended by conservatives of all parties. The telegraphio reports from Washington are that hope of the Union is gone; the extremists say that the Message is "the last drop that overflowed the cup." Oixckai Assembly.

The Message necessarily excludes the usual summary of Legislative proceedings, which contains nothing of importance mere matters of private interest, which we will bring up in our next. Yesterday. Mr. Courts was elected Treasurer; and a resolution was pending to send commissioner! to the S. C.

Convention. The County Meeting. The meeting on Tuesday last was probably the largest county meeting ever held here. The resolutions adopted embody the sentiments of the moderate men of both parties of those who desire to preserve the Union if that can be done consistent, ly with justice and honor. The resolutions of the secessionists were rejected very decidedly, as was every movement in favor of an endorsement of Qov.

Ellis's late message. -A number of persons engaged in the dis-oussion, which was limited to five minutes speeches, except in the cases of the movers of the two sets of resolutions, B. R. Huske Esq. of the majority and Neill Mo-Kay, Esq.

of the minority, who were not restricted as to time, and spoke each nearly an hour. The meeting, hough pervaded by a deep feeling-, was in the main orderly, owing doubtless in a great measure to the urbanity and familiarity with the duties of the chair, of the presiding officer, Hon. J. O. Shepherd, and to the confidence reposed in him by both parties.

Robeson County Union!" Misting. We have received a verbal message from a friend in Robeson county in regard to the publication of the proceedings of the late oitiiens' meeting in that county. We would cheerfully have published the proceedings if they had been sent to us; but they have not come to hand. Public Meetings. Our exchange papers furnish the particulars of numerous meetings in this State on the present condition of the country.

That in Raleigh on Saturday evening was addressed by Henry W. Miller and Hon. Z. B. Vance.

The resolutions, introduced by W. W. Holden, Esq. as chairman a committee, are conservative. At Charlotte, the resolutions, by Gen.

Young, chair man, recommend a State Convention, for the purpose, primarily, of preserving the Union, if practicable; and secondarily, if not practicable, to adopt measures for the protection of our rights. Sensible Cosclcsions. The Charlotte Democrat, replying to some intimations that it is not strong enough a favor of secession, concludes as follows: 'If any one expects ns to advise immediate secession. without deliberation and without the co-operation of the Southern States, he will certainly be disappointed. And any one expects us to show our devotion to Southern rights by threats and menaces, he, too, will be disappointed.

Aa a native and citixen of North Carolina, we expect to abide by the decision of a Convention of her people, whether it is in accordance with our notions of right or not. But what that Convention ought to do, we shall, at present, leave to older and wiser heads to say. If a Convention says North Carolina should withdraw from the Union immediately, we are ready; if it says wait, we are for waiting. We intend to take thing coolly anyhow, though we are anxious that such a course ball be pursued as will unite the South in action. Personal Libeett Bills.

The Legislature of Ver mont rejected a bill to repeal the "Personal Liberty act'' of that State, by a vote of 125 to 58. The act was passed in 1843, seven years before the passage of the fugitive slave law in 1850, and of course without any reference to it. This decision is deeply to be deplored and complained of; but there are two encouraging signs connected with it, 1st, that 25 Republicans voted for the repeal, showing that there is an awakening even in hat party; and that a committee was afterwards appointed to inquire whether the law waa unconstitutional, with a view to its repeal, if so, at the next session. i Brooks and Scmnbr. It may be doubted if the country will for many years feel tne last ot the evils resu ting from the attack of Brooks upon Sumner in the Senate chamber.

One of those effects, of a notable character, is slated in a late Boston Traveller, vix: that a bill to repeal the Massachusetts "personal liberty bill" was before the Legislature of that State and had passed one branch by a majority of 15 votes, when the news of Brooks's assault arrived and produced such indignation that the bill to repeal was rejected. But for that attack, Massachusetts would have repealed the offen sive and unconstitutional law, (aa she ought to have done in spite of it,) and probably the other States would have followed her example, and the country might never have arrived at that deplorable state of enmity thatsnow exists. We have no doubt, also, that Lincoln's election is directly traceable to that assault, for it alone made half a million of Republicans so a friend at the North assured us last Summer. Turbbd iVDEiTT.

'SP SHlypd FSEWING MACHINES. 1 1 J. HINSDALE, Ag. BepWll, Not for Sale. A subscriber residing in the State of North Carolina writes to us, under date of the 26th ultimo, that he observed in one of the papers of the day a rumor to the effect that Mr.

Corwin, of Ohio, is negotiating with the proprietors of the National Intelligencer for the purchase of that venerable journal, with the intention of converting it into the organ ot Mr. Lincoln. Our correspondent, apparently thinking the statement "important it true," desires to be authentically informed in the premises, and further requests that we will "define our position." Protesting against the amenability to which our correspondent seems to hold us, in calling for any notice at our hands of the idle rumors daily written or telegraphed from this city to the "sensation press" at the North to excite a momentary interest and then be forgotten, we beg to say, for his personal satisfaction, that the paragraph he refers to has no foundation whatever. Mr. Corwin has uever intimated to us any such purpose, and, we are confident, never entertained any such; and, to prevent any mbconceptionon the subject, we may as well add that the National Intelligencer will never pass from the control of its present proprietors into any other hands while life and health last unless, indeed, sharing in the common ruin in which unhappily political eveuts now threaten to involve all the interests of this great country, the Intelligencer shall sink with the rest, and its property pass through the bands of the sheriff's officers.

That day, we trust, is far distant. As to "defining our position," we have been defining it during forty years, and any one who desires to know it may satisfy himself by examining the files of the paper for any year during that period, and learn what it is by what it has been. The principles of the paper have been the same under Presidents to whom it was opposed as under those whom it favored. Its principles will remain under Mr. Lincoln's administration what they have always been; the same that they have been under his predecessors, and the same that they will be, we hope, under many of his successors.

National Intelligencer. New York (CVy) Pulpit. We devote a large roportion of our space, to-day, to sketches and reports of some of the many able sermons preached in the city churches on Thanksgiving Day. ith but tew exception, these discourses, in deal ing witn tne impending crisis; it is a pleasure to say, breathe the true spirit of Christianity, and as such, we may indulge the hope that they will do something to pour oil upon the troubled waters and help to calm the tearful agitation which is now shaking our beloved country to its centre. One of the most powerful, impressive and appro priate of these discourses, was delivered by Kev.

Dr. Hawks, of Calvary Church, his theme being the perils which threaten the people, the Union and the government. It drew tears from many eyes, but was received with favor or otherwise as it harmonised with the views ot his hearers. We felt every word he uttered to be not only solemn truth, but God's truth, especially when he traced step by step the causes of present public disaster, and laid these causes at the doors of those whose prejudices, passions and partisanship have pro- prejudices, passions and partisanship have produced the threatened and almost certain dismemberment of the country. He did not believe the South to be without faults, nor altogether blame less in producing the present state of affairs.

Justice and equali ty in the Union would satisfy all her statesmen, ana tne majority oi ner people, rsut so long as there were inequality, crimination, and an absence of love, there could be no real unity. He hoped tor the bestnd thanked God heartily that there were sipns of receding from the extreme positions which had been taken. N. Y.

Express. A Novel Case at Law. Mr. Church, of Mont-Tille, owned a hen. The hen took a no tion to set.

Mr. Church encouraged her in it to the extent ot giving her sixteen eggs to com mence on. With commendable industry the hen went to work setting. For one week she do-voted herself to it without interruption. At the end of the week Mr.

Tinker's turkey came along mat way, and erowdmg ihe hen off her nest, took the business of incubation under her own wings. Being more "on her muekk" than the hen, she maintained, her position until a brood otebickens stepped out of the shell and peeped. The turkey then took the chickens in tow, and returned to awa au vuva.cua ww, uu rcvuiuw her own and Mr. Tin.ker"a residence Mr. Church brought ah action of trover for the chick 1 ens, claiming them on the ground that his ben laid I the eggs and did thJ best part of the settiDg.

It was moved by Neill McKay, that the min ority report be received as a substitute lor the report of the committee; which motion was not agreed to.

It was then moved that the report ot the committee be adopted. Pending this motion Neill McKay offered the following Resolution as an amendment to the same, which was agreed to: Resolved, That we recommend a re-organiiation of the Militia, and the formation of volunteer corps with a sufficient appropriation for arms and equipments, if in the opinion of the Legislature the same is necessary. The report of the committee as thus amended, after sundry motions to further amend the same, which were voted down, was adopted. On motion of D. Q.
