Irom the Mobile Advertiser. The Fensacola Forts. Popular interest in warlike movements now centres nearer at hor?S-^than when Charleston was the only poMmJfcs which radiated the war excitements of the day. The immense interest of at least three States?Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida ?is becoming alive to the importance of occupying the forts within the borders of the latter commonwealth. "We see re? peated at Pensacola the manoeuvre of An? derson at Moultrie. There are three forts at Pensacola, a Navy Yard, and a re? doubt. Commandant Armstrong has aban? doned the Navy Yard and Fort Barances, removing munitions, and spiking guns, and transferring his forces, amounting in the aggregate to between two and three hundred men, from tho main land to San? ta Eosa Island, has prepared to make ?good his position within the immensely strong fortifications of Fort Pickcns. "Whether he has abandoned Fort McCrce. also, we are not advised,but we doubt if he has. This fortress is a powerful and cas? tle-like masonry erection, built on a low sand-pit of the main land, and appearing to rise out of the water. It is further sea? ward than Fort Pickens, of which it is the vis-a-vis across the channel, and a ves. sei entering must needs run the gauntlet of its guns before approaching the latter, which, however, of itself effectually closes the harbor against the admission of an enemy of even very heavy force. Fort Pickens is designed to mount no less than two hundred and twelve guns, and under tho protection of its immense batteries the ships of an enemy could make good their harbor in the Bay of Pensaco? la, or if they did not care to run the risk from shore batteries, which could not be in very dangerous range, they could not land forces and supplies on tho fort to the eastward of Santa Eosa Island-, which is some forty miles long, and thus throw in reinforcements and rendezvous even an army at the fort without interruption, un? less of a force intrenched on tho Island itself, in the rear of the fort?which, how? ever, is almost if not quite as defensible from rear as front. If wo arc to have war, the seizure of this stronghold is, of course, of the first importance, for unless it is occupied by us, it will secure to the enemy a base of operations along our whole gulf coast, and keep open a road right in the heart of the South, which cannot bo obstructed by any fixed fortifi? cations. Once within the gates of the harbor, and an army could be disembarked at any point on the wide bay which it might select. It could run up beyond the Escambia river and land many hours ahead of any opposing force which might be at Pensacola; besido placing a wide river between it and the latter?or even two rivers, the Escambia and Blackwater ?by going far enough up. Hence, with a start of at least forty-eight hours, it could march into Interior Alabama. An enemy holding Fort Pickens could ren? dezvous a naval force there and keep up a blockade of all the ports of tho Gulf unless wo could meet it on the sea. News from "Washington of tho position of the Administration should very soon advise us whether the risk of bloodshed is to be incurred in. seizing Fort Pickens, or whether we shall find reason to delay the alternative of appeal to that terrible der? nier resort in a fair prospect of peaceful cession. If it is to bo seized by direct power of arms, it will not be by a force coming under its guns from the water ap? proach. It must be stormed by a heavy force concentrated on tho Island to the eastward, which will take it with a Zou? ave-like rush in double quick time?pour? ing into it in such numbers as to at once overpower every chance of resistance on the part of the garrison. Though done in the night, and with the quickest movement, and though escaping loss from the batteries in the approach, the work at the walls will be a bloody business if the garrison have a mind to make it so. The commander has committed the same act of hostility that Anderson did at Moultrie, but we do believe that he will soon sur? render the fort, as the commandant at Baton Eouge did the arsenal, on the grounds of tho presence of an overwhelm? ing force and the/ plea of avoiding useless bloodshed. He is reported to have said that he would not fire on his countrymen. "We do not believe that he will. The Traitor.?John N. Herriman, re? cently Collector of this port, no-w in jail for playing the part of a traitor and a spy, has been rogarded by our citizens gener? ally, for several years past, as an unprin? cipled scamp; his component parts being, one-third knave, one-third fool, and the other third 'whiskey?the combination producing tho first traitor in the Com? monwealth of South Carolina. "We had intended not to publish Merriman's crime, being unwilling that the world should should know that a traitor could live upon our soil, but lest our silence should be mis? construed, we now say that wo have not language to express our detestation of his heinous offence. Wo had rather be tho meanest irrational creature that crawls upon the earth than Hemma? the Trai? tor.?Pee Dee Times. -??fr-.

"We Lave been favored with a copy of tho following interesting correspon? dence : ?Nasiiville, Teun., Jan. 18,1SG1. Son. F. TV. Richens, Governor of the Re? public of South Carolina, Charleston : Allow mo the very great pleasure, if you please, sir, to place the -within check of II. and 33. Douglas, on tho Chemical Baak, city of ISTcw York, in your charge. The Bank of Charleston will willingly pay you one thousand dollars in the coin of the former United States of North Amer? ica for the check. I desire this fund shall be used in such way as you and your im? mediate State advisers may determine,.as most likely to promote the greatest good to the greatest number of the brave peo? ple under your Government. I feel that I am not performing hali my obligation to your glorious people for their efforts in demonstrating to me that it is even possible for my native State, Vir? ginia-, and the State of my adoption, Ten? nessee, to resist the designs of*the vilest but most powerful organization with which America has yet been cursed. I am the father of five fearless and strong-minded, and yet stionger-armod sons, either one of whom can bring his game from the tallest trco with a ball from his rifle?three or four of whom can be with you and 3rour noble people, at my expense, when you may need them, if it be beforo their native State, Tennessee, shall require their services. I have also two intelligent negro men. who would willingly and efficiently fill any vacancy when one or more of their young masters may be disposed of by the enemy. And I rejoico to be able to tell you trulj-, that there ai'o ono hundred thousand more of the same sort of materi? al in Tennessee. I will not longer trespass on your most valuable time, except to say to you, that it is quite evident to mc that your State has hit on the only mode of settlement. My heart is with you; may Cod Almighty direct and bless 3-011 and your great peo? ple. I am. most respectfully, BYRD DOUGLAS. State of South Carolina, ~) Executive Office, Treasury Dep't, [? Charleston, January 21, 18G1.) Sir:?I am directed by his Exccllcncy the Governor to acknowledge the receipt of one thousand dollars enclosed in your letter of the 17th inst. The cordial sympathy with our people which 3-011 express adds greatly to the value of tho donation, and I am in? structed by his Excellency to con V03' to 3-011 his high appreciation of your generous patriotism. The warm interest 3*ou evince in our common cause gives cheering assurance that no long time will elapse before cveiy true-hearted son of the South will hold the same elevated and patriotic sentiments which 3tou have so nobl3" displayed, and that Tennessee, Ken? tucky and Virginia will come up to vindi? cate that common cause. Allow mc, also, to extend the same grateful acknowledgments to 3-0111- brave and efficient sons, whoso services Tennes? see ma}- well be proud to claim in her hour of need, and whom we honor not the less, that we at present do not avail ourselves of their generous offer. To such. lo}*al hearts and strong arms the South may fearlessly confide her defence, and by such disinterested prtriotism and generosity will tho cause of tho South and freedom triumph. With assurances of high consideration and respect,your obedient servant. C G. MEJOLTNTGER. Byrd Douglas, Esq., Nashville, Terin. -?> Letter from Ex-President Filmoue. ?The Hon. Millard Fillmore was, a few weeks ago, suggested b3' a Union meeting in New York as a suitable person to send to South Carolina to tender the people of that State the assurances of tho citizens of New York that the North would re? spect and uphold the constitutional rights of tho South. This mission Mr. Fillmore declined, and in his letter remarked: "What thc3r want, and what I want is some assurance from the Republican party, now dominant at tho North, that they, or at least the conservative portion of them, are ready and willing to come for? ward and repeal all unconstitutional State laws; live up to the compromises of the Constitution, execute the laws of Con? gress honestly and faithfully, and treat our Southern brethren as friends. "When I can have any such reliable assurance as this to give, I will go most cheerfully and ,urge our Southern brethren to follow our example, and restore harmony and fra? ternal affection between the North and the South. At present, our labors should be hers. Let us put ourselves right, and then we can with more confidence and justice appeal to them. Out of the Union.?Five States have already passed ordinances of secession. The following is tho area in square miles of the States that have seceded: Georgia, 58,000; Florida, 59,263; South Carolina, 28,000; Alabama, 50, 722; Mississippi, 47, 151?making a total of 243,141 square miles. The territory embraced in these five States is larger by 39,000 square miles than the impirc of France, and is just twice as large as Great Britain and Ire? land. Tennessee.?The Tennessee House of Representatives hasi accepted the Senate amendment to the Convention Bill, that delegates he elected on 9th and assemble in Convention on the 25th of February. The following resolutions have been adopted by the Legislature: Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee, That this General As? sembly has heard with profound regret of the resolutions recently adopted by the State of New York, tendering men and money to the President of the United States, to be used in coercing certain sov? ereign States of the South into obedience to tho Federal Government. Resolved, That tho General Assembly receives the action of the Legislature of New York as the indication of a purpose upon the part of the people of that State to further complicate existing difficulties, by forcing the people of the South to the extremity of submission or resistance, and so regarding it, the Governor of the State of Tennessee is hereby requested to in? form tho Executive of the State of New York, that it is the opinion of this Gener? al Assembly that whenever the authori? ties of that State shall send armed forces to the South for the purpose indicated in said resolutions, the people of Tennessee, uniting with their brethren of the South, will, as one man. resist such invasion of the South at all hazards, and to the last extremity. -.-* Tennessee Moving foh Secession.? lion. Senator Borland, a distinguished co-operationist, of Tennessee, writes to his paper, the Memphis Enquirer, from Washington City, in which ho advises Tennessee to act immediately. That "war is at her door." That Tennessee must go with, the North or the South, lie says: As to And}* Johnson, Emerson Ethc ridge, and the few who, in the base hope of getting office under Lincoln, sympa? thize with them in their Black Republi? can proclivities, let them emigrate, before the fate of the torics of the Revolution overtake them. But as for Tennessee, as a State, and nine hundred and ninety nine out of every thousand of her people, arc all Southern in principle, in interest, in honor, in feeling and destiny. As such, every man is expected to do his duty? and woe to him who fails to do it. Time was when we might fairly and safely differ anfing ourselves upon questions of policy, but that time is now past, the is? sue upon us is one of life and death; and to doubt, now, which side to take, is to be damned. The enemy is at our door, and he who is not for us is against us. The Georgia Protest.?All the mem? bers of the Georgia Convention signed the Ordinance, excepting six,who entered the following protest; Mr. Simmons, of Gwinnctt, asked that the following protest might be spread up? on the minutes: We, the undersigned, delegates to the Convention of the State of Georgia, now in session,whilst wo most solemnly protest against the action of the majority in adopt? ing an Ordinance for the immcdiatcyuid spcrato secession of the State, would have preferred the policy of co-operation with our Southern sister States; yet, as good citizens, we yield to the will of the major? ity of her people, as expressed b}- their representatives, and wo hereby pledge "our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor " to tho defence of Georgia, if nec? essary, against hostile invasion from any source whatever.

Milledgevillc, Ga., January 22, 1861. i -o Secession in Illinois.?The Springfield correspondent of the Chicago Times says, that at the session of tho present Legisla? ture the collection of persons from all parts of the State reveals some startling facts. In case a Southern Confederacy is formed of all the slave States, there is a strong probability that the State of Illinois will be divided. The people of Northern Illi? nois have been in the habit of tauntim the Egyptians with ignorance, and pha? risaically arrogating to themselves all the intelligence and virtue. - These things rankle in the minds of the citizens of Southern Illinois, and create no little hos? tility. A large share of Southern Illinois ?is peopled with men from or descended from citizens of the slave States, and they naturally sympathise with the South. The opinion is freely expressed that an army of ten thousand men from Northern Illi? nois, marching against the South, could not reach the Ohio river. Hundreds are ready to fight in the defence of tho South, and arc tendering their services. -o What True Northern Men Say of Coercion.?In the Illinois Legislature, on Friday, in the debate on the military bill, Mr. Green said: "Should this State, Illinois, be invaded by tho South, his constituents residing on the border would repel the foe and defend the honor and majesty of the State; but," said he, "should you of the North attempt to pass over the borders of our State, to subjugate a Southern State, you would be met this sido of the Ohio Piver, and you should not shed the fraternal blood of our Southern brethern until you had first passed over the dead bodies of the gallant sons of Egypt." An Imposing Scene. Senators .Davis, Yulec, Mallory, Clay and Fitzpatrick yesterday formally with? drew from the chamber in which they have honorably represented States. There are now ten vacant seats in the Senate; ten mute witnesses to the reality of se? cession. Four others, perhaps six, will be speedily added. Unable to comprehend the significance of the movement, Mr. Lincoln is reported to have congratulated bimsclf upon the retirement of Senators who might have been expected to obstruct the proposed anti-slavery appointments. To those who scan events more closely, the withdrawals of yesterday, succeeding others at short distance, cannot but sug? gest painful emotions. It were bad enough, if in the ordinary mutation of politics the Senate were being stripped of its most il? lustrious members; statesmen who have earned distinction by the ability; the pat? riotism and the purity of their career, and whose voices have been ever potent in op? position to the current demagoguism of the day. But the spectacle witnessed yesterday, and to be witnessed again ore many days pass over, is far more sad, far more solemn, in its character. It testifies to the fact that the JLTnion has been brok? en?-that there will henceforth beseparate confederacies?and that men who have adorned the councils of the country under the Union are now engaged in the work of building up another organization, and conducting anew the experiment of self government, free from the sectional ani? mosities which have produced the present wreck.? Washington Constitution. -<o The Worthy Daughter of a Hero.? All who are familtiar with our revolution? ary history, must bear in grateful and en? thusiastic memory the great services, the heroic courage and splendid achievements of Gen. Nathaniel Greene, who led the chivalry- of the ?South in so many terrible conflicts and glorious victories over the British. A Rhode Islander by birth, Gen? eral Greene was sent southward by Gen? eral Washington as his mostreliable chief, and by his brilliant generalship and vir? tues so endeared himself to the people of this section that he ever afterwards resi? ded in the South, and his descendants have ever been distinguished for their de? votion to the honor and rights of the South. "We have now before us a letter from a venerable lady, says the New Orleans Delta, the last surviving child of Gen. Nat. Greene, who has reached the advanced age of eighty, in which, addressing one of her descendants she uses the following noble language: " Bather than hear that Fort Moultrie was taken from South Carolina, I would have myself dragged there, and sit on the parapet until the last gun was fired." -?-; The Brooklyn.?It has already been announced by telegraph that the U. S. steamer Brooklyn had sailed forthe S?ulh. The Portsmout Tnxnsorijtt of Friday, in' noticing her departure from Norfolk, says: " The U. S. steam sloop-of-war Brook? lyn, which had been lying off Fort Mon? roe since her return from Charleston, went to sea yesterday on another peaceful mis? sion. She is ordered to intercept Gov? ernment vessels heretofore authorized to go into Pcnsacola and prevent their do? ing so, in order to obviate trouble?first, by the attempt which the Floridans may make to seize and hold them; and, sec? ondly, as a consequent upon this State action, bloodshed and other serious losses. Before leaving Hampton Roads, howev? er, she rccicvcd on board, from the fort, two companies of artillery, under Capts. Vodges and Langborne, a step which, wc presume, is only precautionary." -o Recognition of the New Confedera? cy".?It has been already noticed that the Toronto Leader, said to be an influential joural, announces that the new Cotton Confederacy will be recognised by Great Britain as soon as formed. ? The "Washington correspondent of the Richmond Examiner,& very reliable source, says : "I hear from reliable authority that the Powers of Great Britain, France and Rus? sia will recognise promptly the indepen? dence of the new Southern Confederacy. Assurances of this have been given in a way which leaves no doubt as to the re? sult. It may be counted on with certain? ty that any attempt to block up Southern trade will be put down by England and France. They must have the cotton." -0 The Impressiveness of Secession.? The formal withdrawal yesterday of sev? eral Southern Senators from their seats, which they had occupied in the United States Senate, in obedience to the ordi? nance of secession adopted by their sever? al States, was an event in the history of our country which future generations will read and ponder over. It was mark? ed with an impressiveness and solemnity unlike anything ever before engrafted upon the history of our country. It pro? claimed in grave and unmistakblc terms that our Union, having heretofore, nur? tured the seeds of disintegration, was was now reaping ^he fruits. It is a mel? ancholy acknowledgement that no mind can conjecture the extent of this disinte? gration.?

IPUBLISH now my annual Prospcctui of THE DAILY GLOBE, and tho CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, to remain subscribers, and inform those' .who may desire to subscribe, that Coigrcss ?will meet on the first Monday of nest December, when I shall resume publishing the nboTe-named papers. They have boon published so long, that most pub? lic men know their character, and therefore I deem it needless to give a minute account of the kind of matter they will contain. THE DAILY GLOBE will contain a report of the Debates in both branches of Congress as taken down by reporters, equeal, at least to any corps of | short hand-writers in this, or in any othpr country. A majority of them will each, be able to report, verbatim, ten thousand words an.hoar, while the av? erage number of words spoken by fluent speakers rarely exceeds seven thousand five hundred words an hour. When the debates of a day do not make more than forty-five columns, they will appear in ? The Daily Globe of the next morning, which will contain, also, the news of the day, together with' such editorial articles as may be suggested by pass? ing events. THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND ATVT.S DIX will contain a report of all the Debates in Con? gress, revised by the speakers, the Messages of the President of the United States, the Annual Reports ] of the Heads of the Executive Departments, the Laws passed during the sessions, and copious in? dexes to all. They will be printed on a do'uble royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto size, each number containing sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is believed, at least 2,000 pages. This is acknowledged to be the cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a reprint or printed from manuscript copy, taking for data the average num? ber of words it contains. The coming session will, without doubt, be an unusually interesting one, becausethedebates will, in a great measure, be upon the policy of the Pres? ident elect, and The Globe will be, as it has been for many years past, the only source from which full debates of Congress can be obtained. THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPEN? DIX pass free through the mails ef the United States, as will be seen by reading the following Joint Resolution passed by Congress theGth of Au? gust, 1852: Joint Resolution providing, tor (he distribution of the Laics of Congress and the Debatet thereon.
