From IVashiugtou. "Washington, January 18.?It is under? stood that Hon. A. B. Greenwood will accept the portfolio of the Interior De? partment, at the urgent solicitations of some Southern men. who hope, through him, to be able to check any precipitancy on the paat of Buchanan's Administration. Greenwood is a strong eooperationist, but is opposed to coercion. Holt declares that his views have been misunderstood in the South, and that he is not responsible for the existing state of things. He" is much mortified at the scene that occurred in the Executive Ses? sion of the Senate, yesterday, and yet it is said that to-day's doings in the Senate were but a repetition of those of yester? day. Hayne has postponed sending in his communication to the President until Monday. In the House of Representatives, to? day, Sherman made a regular war speech boisterously, in allusion to the Morris Is? land affair, for protection to the United States flag. Crawford's reply was a mas? terly defence of the course of South Caro? lina. He fastened the responsibility of the whole affair upon the Federal Admin? istration. His speech produced quite a sensation. Dr. McDowell was confirmed as Consul to Lyons. Reagan, of Texas, left here this after? noon for home. He goes back to urge Texas to act with promptitude. "Washington, January 10.?In the Sen? ate, Mr. Sumncr introduced a resolution for information relative to correspondence ?with foreign authorities, concerning clear? ances from Charleston. It was adopted. Mr. Mason introduced a resolution, looking to a suspension of the exercise of Federal functions in the seceding States, and announced their secession by procla? mation. It passed to a second reading, and was ordered to be printed. The Kansas bill was debated and amended. It will pass on Monday proba bly. In the House, the Army bill was pass? ed. Many Union petitions were present? ed. Some private bills were passed. The House then adjourned. "Washington, January 20.?Col. Isaac "W. Hayno, Commissioner from the State of South Carolina, has sent his communi? cation to the President. It contains nothing of importance except that affairs ^in Charleston remain in statu quo. Col. Haync is still here, though nothing new has transpired in relation to his mis? sion. The Post-Ofllee Department , intends to exact the same rigid obedience to the laws by the States which have seceded, on pain of the withdrawal of the Postal Laws, as in the case of South Carolina. The Georgia Delegation will probably withdraw from both Houses on Tuesday next. There is no truth in the report that Alabama had requested her Congressional Delegation to return to the floor of Con? gress. Not c:ao of them has been present in Congress since the passage of the Or? dinance of Secession by the State Con? vention. "Washington, January 20.?The action of the Virginia Legislature creates intense excitement hero. The question is now brought to a practical issue. The Repub? licans declare that the North repudiates tho terms that arc proposed. The South? ern men are satisfied that the North will refuse, and that a separation must take place. Ex-President Tyler is expected hero to? morrow, to' endeavor to restrain the Ad? ministration from coercive measures.? Other Commissioners will start South from Virginia, to check, if possible, the seceding States. The President is delight? ed at the prospect of dodging the respon? sibility and again deluding the South. The Special Committee on the South Carolina " Treason," and tho President's Special Message upon that subject, havo had several sessions, but have not yet be? gun taking testimony. They intend by delay to hold the rod over Buchanan. They hope, by .the apprehension of im? peachment, to control his policy. The President says now that he stands by the action of Virginia, and will keep the peace, if the seceding States will do like? wise! Lieut. Hall has returned to "Washing? ton. No timo has'yet been fixed for his departure for Charleston. He awaits the termination of Hay no's mission. "Washington, Jan. 21.?In the Senate ' to-day Senator Hunter, of Virginia, with? drew as Chairman of the Committee on Finance, on acconnt of the action of his State. The Senators from Florida, Mississippi and Alabama withdrew from the Senate. It was a most affecting scene. Mr. Slidell, of Louisiana, moved a reso? lution censuring the President for the ap? pointment of Holt as Secretary of War. In the House the Kansas bill was amended and passed. The Alabama delegation withdrew from the House, in accordance with the action of the Convention ofthat State, Mr. Colfax, of Indiana, introduced a resolution, looking to a discontinuance of mail service in the seceding States. Tho report of the Committee of Thir? ty-three being up, Mr. Corwin made a speech of a conservative character. The post oftico at Pensacola is abolish? ed and service discontinued by order of the Postmaster General. ?Washington, January 21.?Numerous applications continue to be made by post? masters in the seceding States for supplies of postage stamps. Before the orders are filled, an affirmative response is necessary to the question, -whether they do flow, and will continue to, hold themselves re? sponsible to the Government, in conform? ity with existing laws, for all postal reve? nue received by them ? The example of the postmaster at Charleston is cited. Thus far, postal communication at the South is uninterrupted. Judge Glenwood still has the tender of the Secretaryship of the Interior under consideration. -o From the Columbia Carolinian. The State wants Money?Hew to Kaisc it. "Wo, the pcoplo,"ghavo forced the State to .secession, and it behooves us to sustain her in it. Eevery man is bound to do what he can to support her in the stand which she has taken. The young are rushing to the field with alacrjty. Very well, that is their part. The poor can do nothing for her 1 lit help Jill her ranks; and many of them cannot even do that without leaving their families in want. Very well, let them stay at homo and constitute a home-guard; and let them perform this sendee as cheerfully as the young men perform military service. Then there are your men in office, and old men of ample means, who can neither fight nor watch. To this class I belongs and I will show by example, instead of precept, what I think thoy should do. I will give one-sixth of my income this year to the State. One-third pnyablo on the third of April next, another on the third of July, and tho other on the third of October. Xow if tho men who are able to spare this much, without afflicting their families, will do so, then, before the end of the year, the State will have at her disposal near a million of money. When I speak of my income for tho year, I mean over and above my debts now due and payable this year?or rather 1 mean the proposition to be thus qualified so far as it respects others; for. as to my? self, I mean to give the sixth, irrespective of debts present or future. The subscrip? tion book will be found in charge of Wil? liam H. Talley. Esq., at his office. Let subscriptions upon like terms bo opened in every town ami village in the State; and I mistake the character of the people of South Carolina, if she has to sell a sin? gle bond, stop a single poor man to an amount that he will feel. Here are our women, God bless them, old and young, going about with subscrip? tions, ami working with their own hands, to furnish our troops with clothing, arms, flags, &c, &C. And what are old logics" doing? Shelling out five dollars, and ten dollars, and twenty dollars, and receiving their sweet thanks, as though we had done them a great favor. We are all great patriots; lotus now see how our patriotism willenduro a touch of thepook ct-norvc. All tho papers of the State will publish this gratis, of course, and help to give ii effect in every District. SFX EX. -? Utah and South Carolina.?When that abominable nest of murder, incest and polygamy, the Territory of Utah, which it is no figure of speech to call a Sodom, was in open rebellion against the General Government. Mr. Buchanan sent Peace Commissioners with the army to offer Utah the olive branch before the sword was drawn. To South Carolina, a sovereign State, one of the most civilized, virtuous, and exemplary of Christian communities, where, so great is the puri? ty of domestic lifo, not a divorce has oc? curred since the Revolution, he sends no Peace Commissioners?he sends only the sword?and when she semis Peace Com? missioners to him, his officer in Charles? ton harbor avails himself of their absence to commit hostile acts, and the expostu? lations of the Commissioners are received in such a manner by the President that they arc compelled to give up the mission, and return, as they came, to their home. ?Rich in on if Dispatch. Gen. J). E. Twiggs?The Augusta Evening Dispatch says: This brave and gallant officer has de? clared his purposes to adhere to the State of Georgia, and will resign his position in the present army whenever the State shall secede. Should Butcher Scott and his myrmidons attempt to force us to submit to Federal depotism at the point of tho bayonet, the long experience and military knowledge of Gen. Twiggs will pre-eminently entitle him. to the command of the Southern army. -?--?

Our esteemed and usually accurate cotcmporary, the Columbia Guardian, fell into error one day last week by stating thai the '?Palmetto Riflemen" were from Greenville. This corps hails from Anderson, is of genuine Anderson material, and hailing thus, would, be an appropriate company to send on a complimentary visit to the valiant Major of that name now stationed at Fort Sumtcr. We know "the boys" would feel highly priviled to partici? pate in the mission. Will the Guardian do us the favor to correct the mistake ? -. Rev. Thomas A. Hoyt. The numerous rriends and admirers of this gen? tleman, formerly of Abbeville, will be pleased to peruse the Sermon which we publish this week, delivered by him on the 4th inst., the day appoin? ted by the President as a "Day of Fasting. Humil? iation and Prayer in Ihe United States." A un? live Carolinian, he has not forgotten the teachings imbibed in early life in her institutions of learn? ing, nor turned aside from the principles upheld by her through the political change* of half a century.

The]>ro tern, ami co-proprietor of the Abbeville Banner, in acknowledging the reception of a cata? logue of an institution located in that District, lias the temerity to '-speak out. in meeting," and in the following not very honeyed terms : "Such 'favors' as the sending of Pamphlets or Catalogues lo editors are usually understood (by the editors) as acts of courtesy on the par! of the senders. The senders, however, in nine cases out of ten, arc 'guilty' of no such intention, and mere? ly desire to elicit a small 'puff.' So it must have been in this case, as we had before sccu the matter of the above catalogue, and like the story of the grindstone, it looked quite ?familiar,' for we have a distinct recollection of being allowed the privilege of 'bidding' on the work. Dm it seems we were only -bidding' it an adieu, as it was carried to the Capitol, where facilities for doing such work arc better, and prices consequently lower?a slate of things that will always exist, while our friends persists in carrying patronage away from our very doors, and giving it to strangers. We arc not dis? posed to quibble about small matters, but we think those who ask should reciprocate favors." .-* The ladies of Charleston have sent a Carolina Flag to Head-quarters, with the following note at? tached. From the Ladies of Charleston to the Minister of II'(//-, ///.; Hon. J). F. Jamison: This Flag was made expressly by them to be open?d for the first time on Fort Slimier. THE UMPIRE STATE IS WITH HS! lOO Guns fbi* Georgia! THE VILLAGE ALIVE WITH ENTHUSIASM ! SPEECH OF HON. J. L. ORR! &C, &C, &C. iieceptiox of run news. On Monday evening last our villuge was over? flowing vritii enthusiasm, the gratifying intelligence having been received that tlie great and glorious Slate of Georgia had passed the Ordinance of Se? cession by ll'.i majority. Immediately after the mail arrived, bringing the cheering news, guns commenced firing, hells ringing, and every mani? festation of joy indicated. Friend greeted friend with the remark, "Georgia has seceded." The glad tidings was upon every lip, and I lie evidences were nol wauling that our people fully appreciated the noblj conduct of our gallaut ncigbbor. Tbc cannon l>clchcd forth in honor of the glorious re? sult ; the solemn tones of the town bell reverbera? ted over hill and dale, and the shouts of old and young mingled freely in the general rejoicing. the aox. james i.. onn. The Simc train which brought the news that Georgia had seceded, bore along with it (be person of our distinguished and honored fellow-citizen, the Hon. James Lawrence Our., who was just re? turning from Millcdgcvillc, whither he bad gone as Commissioner from this State to Georgia. It was understood and circulated over town that Col. Oitn would address the citizens that evening in the Court House, and at an early hour the building was tilled with cagir face?, all anxiously wailing to bear from eloquent lips (be particulars of the scene which produced such animating influences. At 7 o'clock p. m. Col. Ottii entered the Court room amid the most intense applause. Hound af? ter round of hearty cheers greeted him as lie passed up to the Judge's bench, and il was some minutes before silence was obtained. When quiet reigned, the Col. rose and addressed his fellow-citizens in an hour's speech. To say that this effort was master? ly, eloquent, able, impressive and vastly interest? ing, is but rendering a tithe of the compliment it merits. We listened as for one man, and forgot for the nor.ee that we were an editor and might be ex? pected to report at least seme of tbe many graphic, touching and cheering point.-; made in the speech. He recounted the result and incidents of Iiis mis? sion, detailed the action of the Convention up to the time of passing the Ordinance of Secession, and related several happy events which transpired in connection with his visit to the Empire State. In his concluding remarks, flie Colonel dwelt at some length cu the position, power and weight of Geor? gia in pushing onward tho cause of Southern inde? pendence, and paid a most glowing tribute to the intrepid (Jov. BltOWX, whom he pronounced as pos? sessed of more JAckscx-likc qualities than any statesman in America. The speech of Col. Onn was frequently interrup? ted with r.pplnusc. When he had concluded, the audience gave vent to their enthusiasm in prolonged cheers. Some repaired to their homes, but Voting Carolina intended to make further demonstrations in honor of our t win-sister. Tilt: FIKIXG Of CAXXOX. A goodly number sought the old fold near the Female College, where the cannon bad been sta? tioned. Arriving there, it was determined to re? move to tbe vicinity of the Depot, in order that the reports might be more distinctly heard at a dis? tance from town; and accordingly, the Secession mouth-piece was hurried through the streets, to the opposite pari of town, amid the shouts of scores who were following. Having been plan teil in a suitable position, report after report was made in honor of Hie leading Stale of the South ; and we learn that toast ami sentiment flowed freely among the participants in the joyous demonstration. incidents of ri!e occasion'. Shortly after dusk wcobscrved that our patriotic neighbors of the Gazelleoflicc had illuminated their building, thus manifesting their gratification at tl e result. In the afternoon, a good-sized (lag. beam? ing the once glorious "stars ami stripes,"' was dis? played upon the square, in the hands of a lad - the object was soon apparent?another hid, a few paces off, was levelling his " double-barrelled " at the ensign, and instantly the colors of the late United States was riddled into shreds. Many other scenes transpired worthy of men? tion, but we forbear the risk of .tiring the reader. The occasion was happily spent, with nothing to spoil its enjovmenf. ??--O Aifaiis at Charleston. The condition of public matters at Charleston continues tc excite considerable interest over the country. The Stale authorities have by no means given general satisfaction in the course pursued latterly in regard to the occupancy of Fort Slim? ier by a hostile and treacherous power. It is now clearly ascertained that the garrison of the Fort arc allowed to obtain market supplies from the city, and privileged in other respects, while the faithless administration at Washington distinctly avows a determination to hold Fort Sumter to the hitler extremity. We cannot, regard the action of our Executive in any oilier light than that of com? promise and timidity. The troops of South Caro? lina should be in possession of Fort Sumter at once?regardless of the opinion and proffered ad? vice of Southern politicians at Washington, and equally regardless of the threatening attitude of coercive Union-savers ami subordinate army offi cers. The position assumed in allowing Major Axor.it scx to receive supplies from the city market is simply ridiculous. He is as much the enemy of the Slate now as before our last Commissioner went to Washington, and he should bo so regarded and dealt with. If his victuals run short, let his command starve, unless the crippled, tottering shadow of a Government, at Washington can send him supplies with another Slur of the West. And in case that was attempted, ths gallant Carolina boys will shew no hesitation, no vacillating spirit, and no puerile regard for the feelings of Major Axdeusox or anybody else, in estopping the vessel and sinking its freight in Charleston harbor. If wc arc not privileged to occupy Fort Sumter by the force of our strong arms and stout hearts, for God's sake let us show no craven spirit in humbling the Stale before a subaltern in the United States army, and politely steer his market-man in and out of Charleston ! Rather, if the "present tlahu is to be maintained,'' cut olF all intcrcouse between Fort Sumter and the entire world, until we aie prepared to make an assault and gain an? other victory ! Then strike the blow, and the Pal. motto l ids will have Fort Sumter or nobly die in the attempt. --O A Patbiotic Editor.?Wc have missed the Kingstrcc Slur from our exchange for several weeks past. On inquiry, wc learn that the editor, Mr. Logan, his foiemail and Printers, have all taken up arms in tin service of the State. The paper will consequently be suspended for several weeks. I Municipal Election.?At an election held on Monday last. W. M. Ilnddcn, Esq., was elected In? tendant, and Messrs. H. A. Gibson, L. C Craig, E. E. Alexander, and C.N.

There is tremendous enthusiasm here to-day over the action of Georgia in passing the ordinance of secession. Everybody is in high glee, and in all quarters nothing is talked of bul Georgia, her glo? rious action, and a great ??Southern Confederacy."'

Chase, the commander of Florida Stale forces, saying that two thousand men could be raised in this- ciiy in forty-eight hours for the assistance of Florida, if llu: latter Slate would furnish the necessary equipments. The Governor requests ibal the for? ces be sent immediately. Great excitement pre? vails here. Large meetings will be held cu to? morrow. The pilots of the harbor of Ponsacola have been prohibited from piloting any United Slates vessels into the harbor under penally of death; There is a vessel ashore fifteen miles cast of Fort Pieken*. She is supposed to be the Supply store-ship, with officers of the Navy Yard aboard. It is expected that Lieutenant Slimmer, the commander of Fort Pickcns, will surrender thai fortification. The Florida State forces have twen? ty-live heavy guns ready for service. In the Legislature of Mississippi, the Committee on Southern Confederacy reported a scries of res? olutions to provide for u Southern Confederacy ami the establishment of a Provisional' Government amongst- the seceding Siafes, and also proposing the assemblage of a Southern Convention at Mont goniary, on the fourth of February, proximo. -* Noblo Sentiments. The annexed paragraph is from the laic speech of Senator iluxTBB, of Virginia, on the groat issue now before the ctfuutry. lie speaks truly in "thoughts that breathe and words that burn :" "As lo tl e action of his own Stale in this junc? ture, he had no authority now to speak : but he would say at least this?that once before, in Ihe Revolution, she had not spared her efforts in be? half of Boston, when the cause of lloston was the cause of all; and he believed that she would again be ready to imperil her all in defence of her liberty ami independence. If the day should ever come when the bloody sword of power should be waved before her, he felt it were better that her name and her fame should perish together. Why were these threats against the South so vindictive? What had the South done to deserve them? Had she not fulfilled her obligations to Ihe other States before this Organization now going on '! Had she ever injured them'! And yet she was menaced with fire an I sword. For the struggling Spanish republics, for far olf Greece, the North had sym? pathy and regard, but none for their own breth? ren. Put let that pass. Sooner than yield. South? ern men would wrap their houses in flames, and deluge their land in blood, and, like the Dutch who opened their dikes and laid all Holland beneath the sea, they would suffer any extremity, and dare death in any form, rather thau submit to any in? vasion." --O Personal. A correspondent of the Laurensville Herald, (whom we recognise as a native of this District and a valued friend,) writing from Fort Moultric, among many other items, gives the following: "Your craft is well represented in every compa? ny. Among them 1 recognized an old accpiain tance in S. N. Carpenter, formerly of the Gazette office in Anderson.

The Empire State. All hail to Georgia, the Empire State of the S?ufh! In our telegraphic columns to-day our readers ?will find that which will please every resistance man in the South. The promptitude and decision with which this great State has moved to the res? cue and preservation of her imperilled institutions, bring.-, gladness to the heart and joy to the face of every Southron who bears a soul within his ribs. It is the charge of the "Tenth Legion" of victory. The Southern blood is up.*Thc people arc.rising in their might. They have bur*t the bonds of par tics, and thrown oir the colonial vassalage to the North, which fanatics and demagogues have sought to iiapose upon them. Henceforth the South must and will be free. But while uttering our congratulations at this great accession to the cause of Action, let us not forget that much is yet tobe done. Many troubles and difficulties lie along the path that leads to a Southern Confederacy. To securing this grand ob? ject, beyond peradventure, let us bend our best cti'oris. Let us sttflcr no minor considerations to divert our thoughts or turn us aside froPi pursuing; and accomplishing the end. The danger most to be feared is. the insidious counsels of those quas* secessionists, whose sole object it is to guide the popular feeling, which they cannot now check or control, to the oblainment of a mere party tri? umph in the old Union, reconstructed under new and deceptive guaranties. The course and advice of such will be directed to defeat a Southern Con? federacy, and drag as back. Could we but close the door upon these Washington plans, and cutoff all hope of a reconstruction of the Union with our enemies, we should be rafc. In alluding to Georgia, we cannot omit the op? portunity of expressing our admiral ion and plea? sure at the effective and lion-like coarse of Sena? tor Too.mbs.
