Tho question of secession is iu bo laid before the people. ? .. ' . . The Sewn. Our indivkVftnlopinions arc crowded out front week to week by the siipor-nbitudusiceof news with which we are railed upon to fill our Columns. The eagerness for the current news of tho day on the part of our friends aud patrons is, wo take it, n good omen. We liko to see them manifesting an interest in what is going on in the poSticnl world; add when once ported "and properly informed, wo Lave no fear bnt 'they will he '-all right." They say to us "give j us the news,'we must Iwive the news, we de-ire | to be Informed npon tlio great questions now being discussed by our prominent and lending men. lVc desire to know something nhont tho questions which nre of such vital impor 'tance to tho people? to nil of m?." S: ch is the language of those of our patrons with whom "wre have communicated. Wo shall, therefore, devote ottr time and space te a condensation of tho news of the w?ek as we receive it. CforlouM Xeum. As wc confidently anticipated, Florida, Mis -aitsippi nnd Alabama, each in their sovereign character, have resumed the powers delegated | by tl?ein ,to the Federal Government, nnd de- j olSTcd themselves free, sovereign nnd indepen- I dent.' Side by side with South Carolina, they ( have taken their position, and to the wide world proclaim that they^ackntrw ledge the right of .peaceable accession ; their right to judge of the infractions of the Constitution, and their ' inflexible purpose to stand by the construction 1 which Madison and our political forefathers 1 placed uj>ou that instrument. With such allies, ' we do nut regard t ho coercive threats oft ho 1 It lack lU'publicans, nor the simpering* of these 1 Unionists who love tyranny in the aggregate, butter than independence, separate and defiaut, ' in simplicity. Not only are we sustained by ' these gallant States, but vrc rejoice to learu 1 that throughout the entire South, the "hells of 1 secession" ore ringing out tones of music to 1 our quarter, while they throw Into the startled ' ear of the North the discordant sounds of resis- 4 dance and disloyalty. From North Carolina we - diear that the feeling of secession is increasing i everywhere. Ilcr " mountains are on fire. * . s and her wators reflect tlie light und sheen of | t patrio'ic kindlings from ths interior and sea- J ' boar J. " I 1 in old Virginia, the motlier of Presidents, u t 'Convention Bill has been passed by tlie llonse ' of. Heprescuiutives, providing "the reference of jts action in relation to secession, to the peo- ' pit for approvul." On tlie Uitli iustuiit the ' tame bill passed thu Sctiute, fixing February 111 " tor thu assembling of the Convent ion. The I dispatch further any? Virginia bus formally ' called her Stale Convention." j I Texas C'MidiJatos liivoring a Southern Con Uirrar.y obtained a majority at Galveston. We j ? c;iu lind, in ttotisidering probabilities, no ground 1 for the hold itka that she or any other Southern ' i State will set u|> for themselves. If slio should, t we will admire her pluck, and entreat blc-*ing* 1 upon her youthful brow. But such a course * no Southern Slate will take, we helieve, all be- * iqg of tlu; same sisterhood; identified iu feel- 1 tug and interests, we feel and think, the result { of the grand movements 11 w taking place will 1 be the creation of a Coutederucy beautiful in i its proportions, and glorious iu its recordings < Ivyoud tho power of lmuian prophet.

The tirst , gun of I he "second revolutiou" has heen tired, i and every body takes it for gnintod that a j l>loo<ly war" will ensiio. Having had mmie experience as a "soldier," 1 place but little confidence in lite many conflicting rumors (bat Are always set afloat during such exciting occasion* as the present, and really believe nothing bttt what 1 sec, and that which comes from ' headquarters.*' Since 1 wrote you, wo (the lticldnnd Rifles) have had a hard tiiue of it. The night preceding the day upon whieh the forces si itioned at Morris Island fired into the steamer, "Star of the West." our company was ordered to proceed immediately to (lie extreme end of I the Island, in order to prevent the steamer from 1 landing her forces at that point. Having ar- I rived at the a]'pointed } l?op, we had to remain upon the Wach the whole night, encountering the cold breexe and heavy dew from the sen lor at least ten hours, whieh was anything hut plcusaut, 1 can Assure you, nnd not at all conducive to health. About seven o'clsck in the morning we were removed front the beach a distance of about one hundred and fifty yards, where we remained two days and nights, with scarcely anything to eat and no place to sleep, ' except in the open air upon u thin pair of binuk'-ts. when we ha l an opportunity'io do so. every man in the company having to "stand guard" at intervals daring the time we were stationed there. At the expiration of the time stated, we were relieved by the Darlington ' Uuards and march' <1 lurek to our present and originalquart* rs. alt feeling very linn h fatigued from the performance of the heavy duty that . ha<l been imposed upon us. The firing into the steamer created no little excitement, and everybody thought that tliu ; ' appointed time" had arrived, because everybody was fully impressed with the belief that Fort Sumter would open fire upon Fort Moultrie, if the latter Fort, or nny Fort or forces in the possession or service of South Carolina attempted to impede the progress, or harm tiny vessel iu the employ of the Federal Government, and great wonder is universally expressed that she did not do it. ("it vui.rsToN, S. t'., .Inn 10, .r> pm. Maj. IVm. II. Tuiumikk :?The excitement here still runs high. A despatch was received this morning from Norfolk, Virginia, in whieh it is said that the 1.

President Buchanan adaits that Maj.

Tho loiter vessel reached the city about 0 ' o'clock. As she came opposite Morris Island, a shot was thrown across her bows from that fortress, which brought her to, tor inspection. ' The Slur of the West readied New York yesterday. I'.ut two shots :tut reported to have taken eticct upon her, which injured Iter considerably. It is reported that she will soon re- ! turn with an escort sufficient to effect her seen- | rity to Fort Sumter, hut this is a matter of cuii- I sidcrahlc doubt with the authorities here. j Preparation* arc being made here daily to | strengthen the fortitieations in the possess'on 1 ol'the State, aud every hour <#f delay on the ' part of the Federal Government is fraught with gain to our State. The messenger from Fort ' Sumter, Ueet. Talbot, reached Washington I t'ity yesterday. The result of this mission is not yet known, nor even the object, but to a few persons. Another messenger was scut by ' Maj. Anderson yesterday to \s asliington, to- j geiher with one sent by Gov. Pickens Att'y. j Gen. ITiiyue is the man sent by the Governor, : and I..cut.

J,et us thou in tui;iirato this unanimity in.our organizations, so that we may have no jealousies, no heart-burning* in the selections of our superior officers, With this view, being in the Itogimcnt about to lie raised in the Hth llrimtde. desirous to i>rniu<ito li-iriiiotnf in,I at the huiuo time secure competent officers, 1 beg to leave to nominate, as a candidate for Colonel, the accomplished officer and gentleman Maj.

M., whose pructieo and experience as a drill officer, extending bach to the Brigade encampment system, have secured h?r him the reputation of being one of the best drill officers in the Brigade, while his courage, coolness and patriotism justly entitle him to promotion in die regimeiit that is expected to maintain the boner fthe districts who claim as their heritage the battle-Bold* of Cowpcus, Blackstock and Kings Mountain. That no district from which the Ueginient is tube raised, shall have cause of complaint, I would suggest as a candidate for Major, Capt. J. \\ . Co-*, of the Johnson Kitles, of I uion, wloi is well known as a gentleman and mii officer, whoso zeal and patriotism in organizing lie Company of which he is Captain, has shown that iic deserves honorable promotion, and will Jis charge the duties of Major with ability and fidelity. I sincerely hope, therefore, that the officers and soldiers of the new Uegiiueut, will, ii^iuu man in that spirit of harmony, so honorable among soldiers fighting tor their dearest rights, tin ir homes and their tain lies, lay aside ail personal feeliugs and am- J hition, and select mi u t<.r their ? fficers we know to be competoiit, and 1 am sure there are noil more so than the three gentleman above nahied, and I hope they will Ir elected without opposition.
