Georgia has probably ero this ; I passed her Ordinaire of Secession. Her | Convention assembled on the 1 tith ; lion. 1 Geo. \V. Crawford, u secessionist, was, ou the lirat day, elected President by ncclamntion. The majority of members for Scces- i siou was variously estimated *ut froiu 100 to 125. The secession oi the conservative and powerful Statu of Georgia will im- ! tncnsely strengthen Iho revolutionary move- j meats now going on, and w ill ensure the ; speedy formation of a Southern Confederacy. The Virginia House of Delegates, on the l'2tli inst, passed the Hill calling n Convention of the people, with amendments, providing that the action relative to secession shall he referred back to the people for rat- i Mention or rejection. The Senate on the j following day passed the House Conven- j tion Hit' with an amendment fixing llio 13th of February as the time for the assembling of the State Convention. A llill foi the call of a Convention is ho j fore tho North Carolina Legislature, and it is believed that it will eventually pass. The House of Representatives of tho !

The chief hope of the j favorers of nailed South* rn action, as op posed to immediate disunion, was in carrying the city for the co operationists. The canvass of votes, which shows twenty immediate secessionists to live co operationists?a majority of fifteen in the Convention, from this parish ?settles the point, that Louisiana w ill bo xvitli the seceding States as fast us the forms id' making the e'nactmri.t by ordinance can be got through i at tlio Convention, on the 23d. The devel opments around us, in every direction, arc | sufficient indications, however, thai this wan only a question of tiiqe. The section1 ' nl majority in Congress and the triumphant Republicans <^f thu Northern State#, have | ao willed it! that there ,is no Union party left ill thy Soyth^yn Stales. . The Arkansas Ju'oulatiiru. on the MiiJj , inst., unm.iuiyusly passed a Dill submitting the Convention question to the people <>u | the 18th of February. If ^10 majority favors a Convention, the Governor will appoint the day of meeting. A bill for the call of a Convention has ( p.iHsett me wennte in the .Missouri t.egisiatnrc by h handsome majority.
