I ti other words, the liillcrciice in opinion in the Ala bama convention was one between im mediate secession and secession a lit tle later, and after the convention had passed the ordinance many of th?' co operation delegates came forward and pledged themselves and their consti tuents to its support. ? : Foin ?IA N'KXT. Georgia was the next State to secede, which she did on January ll', IStil, by a vote in her convention of L'OS to Si?. Alexander II. Stephens, afterwards Vice President of the Confederacy, and h?s brother. Judge Linton Ste phen-, being the leaders of the S??. Immediately after thc ordinance was passed Judge Linton Stephens intro duced a resolution in which it was de clared that those who had opposed it did nut ?leny the right of a State to secede, nor thai th?1 Southern States did not have cause for secession, but that they only thought that it ought not to be cx?'rciscd until every ?'Hort to preserve peace ha?l been exhausted. (lt must be remembered that at that very time the Senators and Kcpresen tatives in Congress ?if all the border Southern States, including Virginia, wen- making every efTnrt to induce the North to guarantee thc rights of thc South in thc Cniou by constitu tional amendments, but which the North utterly failed to do, though had it becu done peace would most assur edly have been preserved.) Ami then Judge Linton Stephen's resolution in the Georgia convention went on and declared that as evidence of thc faet that those who had voted against se cession did not deny the right ?>f it, nor that the Southern States had cause for it, that all of those members of the convention who had voted against it as well as those who had voted for it should sign the ordinance which had been passed. That resolu tion was adopted and under it all of the three hundred and one delegates who had favored the convention of Georgia, (there had been four absent when secession was voted on) signed the ordinance except six, and even those six signed and placed on record a paper in which they declared that they would support the State in her action. Georgia, thercf?irc. went into secession with practically thc solid support of her people as represented in convention. Louisiana followed Georgia and seceded on January Uti, 1S151. Thc light in that State was altogether between immediate seces sion and co-operation, such as it had bi en in Alabama, the I'nionists, if there were any of them in thc State, being too weak to make a show. Those who favored immediate se?'cssion won over thc eo-nperationists in thc elec tion and the convention passed an ordinance of secession by lill to 17. Thc six States which have been named met together in Congress at Mont gomery. Ala., on the 1th of February, IStil, and formed the Confederate States of America, and in the mean time thc'lVxas convention held on the 1st of February passed an ordinance of secession by a vote of lilli against 7. 'Hut as thc Texas ordinance was to he submitted to a direct vote of th?' people on February 'J::, that State ?lid not join thc Confederacy until after SS SECEDED. 111 \ i >st Ci l S( ? > Y ?< ?ri t n / Thu, ?. that ?lat?s.

I |u\. Thc nexl State- tu -ccede was Vir ginia. After all efforts for peace had failed, after tin- action ?d' the "I'eaeu Conference, ' which sin: had declared herself willin-j te accept, had been . "iii| letely ignored hy the North, the \ irginia convention passed April 17, I sill, an ordinance nf secession by a vote nf ss to ??, there being one mem ber who asked to he excused from voting, and eight absent: al' ol'these lat d r afterwards asking ?o have their vote- recorded in its favor. Of the ?? members of the convention who voted against secession the majority ol' them tl'2) were from what is now West Vir ginia. And among the twenty three who were from what now constitutes \ irgiuia were no less personages than Cen. .Inhal A. Karly and William C. Wickham, both of whom were after ward- among the stanchest Confede rates. Again, when the time came for tin- signing of the Virginia ordi nance, of tin- original I?L' delegates to thu convention 120 signed it and 211 refused, including thc one who had asked to be excused from voting. ( )f the twenty-three who failed to sign, only one was from the Slate of Vir ginia, as now constituted, the remaiu i der being from what is now West Vir j ginia. Hut though a majority of thc West Virginia members did not vote i for secession, a majority of them did ! sign thc ordinance after ?twas passed, j l'or what is now West Virginia had 17 ! delegates in that convention, of whom 2? signed it. Resides these, when some of these delceates from West Virginia, who had voted against the ordinance, left the convention, and went where they began to take steps looking to a division (d' the State, they were expelled by thc convention, and their places lilied by others, who signed the ordinance. So that in all there are really l-l.? names attached to it. On May li.', 1801, the Virginia ordi nance of secession was submitted to a direct vote of the people of the State including, of course, what is now West Virginia-and ratified hy a ma jority of ?17,000, the present State of Virginia being well-nigh unanimous for it, and there was even a strong vote in its favor in West Virginia, many of the counties there going for it. Arkansas followed Virginia, se ceding in May li, 1801. That State had elected a convention long before, which was pretty evenly divided be tween immediate secession and co operation, and as a result the conven tion had decided to submit the ques tion as between the two to the popular vote on August 1, 1801, and had then adjourned, subject to the call of ita president, in case developments justi fied it. After the passage of tho Vir ginia ordinance thc Arkansas conven tion SK&?U set, MO vi then, as ?a s been stated, passed an ordinance of seces sion May 0, 1801, the vote being OH in its favor to 1 against. North Carolina was the next State to secede and join thc Confederacy, which it did on May 20,1801. The people there the preceding February, when there wns still a prospect for peace, had by a very close vote voted down the call for a convention, the majority against it in thc State being only 420. But after all prospect for peace had vanished there was a tre mendous change in sentiment. A convention was called by the Legisla ture in extra session, and of thc hun dred and twenty members which the people elected to it one hundred and eleven of them met at Raleigh and voted unanimously for secession. Tennessee was the last State to se cede. She, like Virginia and North Carolina, hesitated as long as there was any prospect for peace, and her people voted down a call for a conven tion by a good majority which the Legislature had submitted to them. Rut when it became evident that the people of the North would give no proper constitutional guarantees for the tights of the South in the Union thc Legislatur?' ?d' Tennessee--the same Legislature which had before re fused to call a convention without first submitting the question of its ?-all to thc people-met in extra session and voted t" submit di reel ly lo the people be question a- to whether Tennessee hoiild secede atari election to he held lune istil, ?iud though Tennessee ?iud in it a fur larger Inion sentiment that: wa- to be found in any other Mate which -eecilcd, ?ts |.plc VOtcd, when ihe 'ipestion wa- submitted to them for -..> .?--inn. lol.'.?bi. against I7.'j;*~ which wa- considerably more than two to one.

To -lilli Up, lei pOO plc Wei'' ever more united MI favor 'd' any ote' thing than were tin- people of the eleven States which secsdod in favor of the Confederate cause after they had em barked in it. For theru was thou practically ii" Inion sentiment amongst them, except in ICast Tennes see and ,i few e-outities in Northwost Virginia, now a jmrt of West Virginia? K very where ulse among them, what ever sentiment ol' that kind there may have- bee li. rapidly disappeared. Thc four border Southern Status ol' 1 ?da w?re. Maryland, Kentucky ami Mis souri did not secede, ami lhere can hi ?o doubt that at lirst a majority ol' the people of each of them were op posed to it. And it may have been that the I nion sentiment continued to prevail in them even after thc war commune _'d. though lhere is great reason to believe that such was not the case in the States of Maryland. Kentucky und Missouri, as there were certainly many changes in them from thc I'monist to the Secessionist ranks, as in thc cases of lien. Sterling I'rice, of Missouri: lien, Huckner, of Ken tucky, and many others. Hut be all this as it may, those three States liad no chance to secede after the war be gan, no mutter if a majority ol' their people lind desired it. I'or being in the 1 'nioti they were practically in possession of the federals when the war started, and were held on to by them with a timi grip. Had they have seceded, and had their people been as thoroughly united in favor of the Con federacy as those of the eleven States which did secede, there is nothing more certain, unless it bc something which has already taken place, than that there would have heeu to-day two Anglo-Saxon republics on this conti nent where there is now only one. Because, notwithstanding its vast superiority in numbers-several hun dred thousand of which superiority was obtained by enlistment among the 1'nion men and negro population of those border Southern States; and notwithstanding it had that which the Confederacy did not have-the aid of fleets to co-operate with its land forces, and which co-operation most certainly saved (iraut's army from uttter aud complete destruction thc first day at Shiloh, and saved McClellan's army from final capture after its defeat in the battles around Richmond, besides which its fleets enabled it to blockade thc ports of the Confederacy, and thus prevented them from shipping their cotton to Kurope and obtaining the supplies which they needed-in spite of all those and other advantages, the North had a close, a very close, call in thc struggle, so close that had the full weight of the three populous and wealthy Southern States of Mary land, Kentucky and Missouri, with all their other great resources, been thrown into the scale on the side of the Confederacy, it would have been a sure winner. W. Richmond, Va., March 15, 18W. Bees As Weather Prophets. As forecasters of the weather, bees never make a mistake. They know what the weather for the day will be without consulting the direction of the wind or marking of the barometer. If there is going to be a rain they will not go to work, no matter how fair the sun may shine in the morning, and if the weather is going to be clear, the thickest clouds in the morning do not keep them at home. Go to the beet: in the morning, and if they are going out and coming in as usual, it is safe to make hay or to go to the picnic. If they are loafing about home as if they intended to take a day off, depend upon it they know there is going to be rain soon. Sometimes they will be seen rush ing home, as if in a hurry, but none will be noticed flying away to the fields. When this happens u hard storm is threatening, one of those sud den electrical storms that form and break almost without warning.-Farm ?'r's lotVe. - mm? . mm Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

General Order Relating tn the Annual He I nion. THK INTEMJUKNCKH is in receipt of tlie following, dated ''Headquarters South Carolina Division. I'nitcd Con federate Veterans,'' and designated as ''(?cuera) Order, No. IO." lt is sign ed hy C. Irvine Walker, major gen eral, and is attested hy dames G. Holmes, adjutant general, chief of stall I. The ninth annual re-union of the I nited Confederate veteran"* will he held in tin* "Cradle of Secession," ; Charleston., S. C., commencing on thc i morning of May lo. ISP!?. The headquarters "1 the division ? during the ro-union will be at Market ! Hall.

While the comrades of the di . vision will he the guest- of Charleston, ?and indeed of the people of the State of South Carolina) none the less they must play the part of hosts, and be prepared to share their blankets, and . the contents of their haversacks and canteens with the visiting comrades from other divisions, and with all 'Confederate veterans who may join us in commemorating the memories so dear to us. III. In order to take part in the proceedings and have thc right to vote, camps must pay their dues of 10 cts. per capita to the CC. V. organization, j either direct to Major General George j Moorman, A. G. end C. ofS., I*. C. V.. ! New Orleans, La., or through thc di vision adjutant general. Hues of ? cents per capita to the division, to bc paid to tho division adjutant general, (with arrears for those camps that have not done their part heretofore in sus taining the division) ; all must be paid before April 1. 189L?. IV. Camps and comrades are urged to bring with them any Confederate battle flags they may have, as well as their camp colors for the parade, es pecially as they will be wanted in the ceremonial of Memorial Day, May 10, (the -anniversary of Stonewall Jack son's death) the day observed in this city.

Miss Mary Carwile, of Edge field, daughter of Brigadier-General T. W.- Carwile, commanding Second Brigade, is announced as Division Sponsor for the current year, and Miss Lula Cassels Lake, daughter of Colonel George IL Lake, as Maid of Honor. The honorary maids of honor (for the Charleston lie-union) will be Miss Minnie Agatha Wright, of Gaines ville, Texas, and Miss Lulie Wagener, grandniece of the late General John A. Wagoner, of Charleston. The com rades of the division arc to be con gratulated upon having as sponsor and maids of honor four young ladies who will worthily represent names that appear on the honor roll of the Con federacy, and they will vie with each other in honoring them. To Miss Wright the thanks of thc comrades are due for her modest but effective efforts to influence the vote of the Texas delegation Rt At! SU ta in fnvor of Charleston and her acceptance of the sponsor's invitation to serve as one of the honorary maids of honor, is another pleasing evidence of her graoious consideration for thc Confed erate veterans of our State. VI. The camps of the division are earnestly called upon to put them selves in position to exert the full in fluence this division is entitled to, as the representative of the first State to assert itself for state rights in the six ties, and all Confederate veterans in the State, not now members, are fra ternally invited and urged to join one of the camps of the division, or to form new camps. VII. The commanding general of the division suggests, that as many of the camps as can do so, uniform their members in a simple and inexpensive suit, or sack only, of Confederate gray, with a dark hat. This seems to be the sentiment and custom of many camps in other divisions of the U. C. V. Each re-union shows more uniformed camps, and the South Carolina division should keep pace with the growing sentiment. To Cure Earache. Take equal parts of glycerine and laudanum, slightly warmed, and pour into the car from a teaspoon ; insert thc cotton afterwards. This is better than wetting the cotton with it, be cause ic will reach the intermost parts of the car and soften the wax, which is frequently tbo cause of the pain. If thc ear itches inside do not insert any hard substance, but chew until soft one end of an ordinary wooden toothpick and use that instead. Again, if a bug or guat or any foreign sub stance gets in tho ear, immediately fill thc ear with melted lard (not too warm.) This will instantly kill any insect, which will, by turning thc head to one side, pass out with the lard. .V/o-.w, in Orangt ,/mltf Parmi r. - Thc Chinese divide the day into ll* parts of two hours each.

Liuenby good rights should be dried only enough to make it possible to iron it well.' It is well nigh impossi ble to iron out wrinkles that have Qncc dried in ; even with good sprinkling this is a difficult task to do, as anyone may know who has tried it. After the linen is washed and rinsed until quite clean, then let it hang in the sun if possible until just dry enough to iron nicely. Have the iron hot ; a luke warm iron will not do. Fold the cloth lengthwise, if at all, for the first pressing ; preps hard and iron smooth 1}', until the linen is quite dry; unless it is perfectly dry it will not have that luster and brilliance that all well-iron ed linen has. Fold the cloth length wise until it is narrow enough to suit thc taste, and then crosswise folding is allowable. The only points to be observed are these : Iron the linen before it in dry and iron it until it is perfectly dry. This will assure perfect work. -v. :_ i-. - ,"-;A .I< uiu aiaiviu lu nucu aa juu r?

Strike Quickly. " On the instant when m lion shows his tem per" said a famous lion tamer "cut him quickly over the face. Don't wait until he springs at you." This is equally good advice for treat lng the lion of disease. Many an attack of dangerous illness would be headed off if at the first premonitory symptoms the victim would strike quickly. Those severe coughs, bronchial affections and wasting diseases which merge into consumption would never get their savage teeth into the constitution if their early signs were headed off by Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery. It provides such an abundance of rich nourishing blood that tuberculosis germs have no chance to get any lodgment in the lungs, it clears the skin and purges all thc impurities from every organ. It invigorates the liver to expel all bilious poisons from the circula tion. It creates healthy tissue, vitalized nerve fiber and gives solid strength. " I have thought fora long time," writes Mrs. Rose Petty, of Lockville. Chatham Co.. N.
