We are indebted to onr young friend, Willmm E. Eari.k, of ths University of Virginia, for n copy of the eloquent address of .Hon. P. W. VooriikkA, of Indiana, "The American Citizen," delivered before the Literary Societies of that Institution, July 4th, 1860. Also for a copy of the University Magazine for October, in wldcli we find many very intcreetiag articles. ' THE PALMETTO FLAQ. The citizens residing in West Greenville, erected a Liberty Pole on last Saturday afternoon, npon the top of which floats the Palmetto Flag. The Lope Star has a place in the pieture, underneath which ie"Seeeeelon," nnd the Palmetto Tree. Other atars arc to be added as other States wheel into flic movement to establish a Southern Confederacy. Shortly after it was raised, the Uuiversity Riflemen came along, and after saluting it with a volley frem their rifles, gave three cheers for the new Republic. RESIGNATION OF SENATORS. We are rejoiced to see that our Senators in Congress, as well st Senator Toombs, of Georgia, have resigned their pieces in the Senate, determined no longer to set in council with men who have no regard for their section. The resignations of &|rs*r*. Ciiiesnut and Hammond, we presume, will take place immediately. Mr. Toombs will leave (he Senate on the 4th of March next.? These are no idle,acts. They are occasioned by a sense of duty which these gentlemen owe to the Svuth and to their States, and will no doubt he followed by similar nets on the part of other Senators and members of Congress. No true Southerner will hold office under a Black Republican President GEORGIA. The poeltion of the State cf Georgia is a proud one. Her Legislatnre, in refnafng to eleet a U. S. Senator in the place of Senator Tvkrsox, has shown more determination to witiidraw from the Union than all the resolutions that eould be passed. She baa indicated that ah# now intend# to aot. With Georgia to follow or lead, the State of South .Carolina need not fear to sever her connec* 1 (ton with the Union. Her people are arou ? ed to a sense of their danger, and we hare no idea that it ia their intention to submit to ihe domination of Ijxcalx'i adrninistratlon. ftlwo to secession, and bar honor, safety and independence alike forbid that aba *hoold now fetter in tho discharge of duty. We rejoiee that <J corgis \ is in tho South?a ad tliot her eitizono wilj be true and loyal to tin sootioa in whioh they live. If oho welnUku the proud position he now occupies, and we believe she will, it shall be nor brightest joy to efaitn her as th? Stats of ear nativity.

Gn? hasboeit brought forward aa a suitable place, by a oorres|*>ndcnt of thn Guardian, but in deference to the opinions of others, wo think that Columbia has superior claims to any place yet mentioned. Let the new and magnificent capitol become the seat of government for the Southern Republic. It is accessible from till points, and its location for health and 6cencry is unsurpassed l?y any in the South. A CONVENTION CALLED. The Legislature of South Carolina has. by a unanimous vote of both Houses, culled a convention of the people of the State. The election for delegates will take place on the 6th T>eeeinber, and the lltli December the time for holding the same. The unanimity which greeted this measure is indeed most gratifying. Our people ore now, wo believe, a uuit in regard to resistance to Northern oppression and fanaticism. There may he n few who yet, in the delusion with which ITope sometimes bewilder men, believe that the' feeling which now burns in the hearts of Southern people, will dio out, and that THE UNION will yet continue I Til ERE IS NO UNION. A fierce and powerful maturity in the Northern States, of what was once a great and glorious confederacy, have proclaimed that there Is a war between them and us? that it is an " irrepreasible conflict," in which one or the other is to conquer.? iiruccivrwi mere in iu i/c uu uauiu c?Nii|iru inisc*. The <1ia has been cast. To link ourselves with them in a Union where there is no equality?ia to submit to wrong And utter ruin. In (he separation, we at leant perceive the path of honor. There woe a lime-whan to apeak of Diaunion was to We accused of madness. There was also a lime when the hopeful among us thought that the battle for equality of the States could be fought in the Union. With a Black liepublican President and Cabinet?with a Judiciary from the same party?with an overwhelming Republican nod Abolition majority in Congress, where ia the scintilla lion of hops for the snoceas of such n warfare. The Union is now virtually dissolved. It ia a meaningless phrase. We may speak of the glories of the past?dwell upon the bright pages of our country's history, but should we ever hear the praises of the rnrstNT U.nion rung in our ears, the feeling it will produce will not be of contempt or of scorn, hut like the sensations one expe. rienccs when he hears thj maniac scream for the lost idol of his household. Let our wisest and beat men be sent to the Convention. Let them be men fearless and independent. Wa want no man who will ignore the dangers which he*?t us, and go for submission and consequent degradation. The occasion will require men of sober judgment, who by their wisdom, prudenee and discretion, will secure'the co-operation of all our people. We have such among us. Let them b? sent to the ap* proaching Convention. Messrs. Allen A Dial, of Columbia, imported by the John Eraser, about four thou snnd dollars worth of ironware. On this they had to pay one thousand dollar* to tha Federal Govcrnmont, through which it ia disbursed at the North.

We have examined tlie Public Offices, and find tliem propeily attended to, and the papers neatly arranged and in good orfler, no far as we are capable of judging. i'l We And tbe Court-' House in good order, but would recommend-the propriety of having seats prepared for- llie accommodation of witnesses before the Grand Jury. In regard to the Poor House, the Grand Jury take groat pleasure in testifying to die good management of the paupers. The houses are neat and in good order, tlie pauper* comfortable, and tho Commissioners deservethe thanks of The District for the faithful discharge of their-duties. We woald recommend that the yard in the rear of Steward's house be fenced in, ns well as the other buildings ; also, that the front fence be repaired, and' the chimney of the Steward's house be torn down and rebuilt, and that the Grave-yard be substantially enclosed. It has been reported to the body that a bridge is much needed at the Creek near Slush's Mill; also, that the lioad near Dunham's Bridge is in bad condition. The Grand Jury begleare to suggest to the Legislature the propriety of having Free Negros removed from the Slf.le, ns they are a great nuisance. We would recommend that tbe various offices in the new Court House, be whitewashed. as well u the passage*. The Grand Jury would reepectfully suggest that the various Beat Companies elect a Magistrate in tbcrir respective Beats, and that they be required to give bond with good security for the faithful discharge of their duties. All of which is respectfully submitted. WM. GOLDSMITH, October 26, 1860. Foreman. What Our Emmies Predict.?We clip the following from the Philadelphia Enquirer. We clip it frrim an article in which that paper ridicules the idea that anything will he clone by the Southern States. We commend it to our readers : " Georgia says to Alabama, * you go first Alabama says to South Carolina, 4 you go first,' and Soutb Carolina seem? to be divided between the adroeates ol * separate ' nud ' co-operative ' secession, with a certain number of so-calU>d 4 suV missiontsta,* probably large enough tc 3nash all action. But something must be one, and we have no doubt something will be. High-stomached and full ol ire are these gentry, and it will never dc to back down after all their high sound' ing threats. Thete romsin* the usual safety-valve of Southern politicians? resolutions. We have no donbr, therefore, that a convention of some sort will assemble, which will pass the most reso lute resolutions, make and listen to th? most fierce ?n<l fiery speeches, which will be dolv printed io the New Yorkl I fere Id end oilier rtniation paper*, after which tbey will adjourn to meet again! on the * mine of the Capitol,* end dieunion will die* natural death."

M I thought in (he past, that she was hot-heaJed and foolish," says oi^e, " but now I recognise her sagacity and foresight." 44 I was prejudiced against South .Carolina," says another, 44 believing that she complained without cause and magnified mole hills into mountains, bat, it is clear she saw the danger ahead and wished to prepare against it. I sin with her now. It is common to hear such expressions as these fall from the lips of those who formerly looked upon South Carolina as a blustering bragadocia, who carried n dagger upon tbe tongue and cowardice in tbe beart. Now, how differently is she estimated, iler narrow limits are covered with hero*, and friends may be counted by thousands who would fly to her rescue and make common cause with her in the defence of common interests and honor so imminently imperilled.?Augutla Democrat. Aftkii Secession.?The position of the Southern States, after secession, is thus noted by the New York Uerald : 44 From all sources of intelligence to which we have access, and from every sympton and sign of the times, it appears highly probable that a considerable number of the Southern Stales will withdraw from the Union between tbe period of Mr. Lincoln's election awd that assigned for his inauguration. II only two withdraw, they will be followed by others, and at last by all, if any attempt should be made to coerce them by armed force. In that contingency the*Capitol, with all tbe public records, archives and State papers in the departments, would fail to the lot of the Southern Confederacy for the District of Columbia would then be within its territory, and the Northern Slates would be shut out from Washington. Thu* the prestige .of. 1)14. National Capitol, as well m the national wenltii, would be triiU the South, and a Northern Con greee would be only a Hump Farlia ment. The English and French governinenU would at one* recognize lb? independence of the South and court its friendship!, for the take, of ita cotton and market for their manufacture*, foi five million* of British population arg depending on Squthern cotton for em .pipy ment. Georgia Actinu, wot Talking.? The South Carolinian bays : " A letter was received by Governoi Gist, frpm Governor Brown, of Georgia staling that he had added a clause ti hit message, recommending the immo diato call of a Stale Convention. \V< hope tho citizens of Georgia may move promptly, and sever a connection wbici trammels not only their propeity, bu that of every other Southern State Let public-spirited men rise^o its con sideralion, as a great matter of public policy. There is no reason why tin New England States, and some other! should be any more prosperous an< llourisbing than the Canadian province! and tbey would not be any in advanc of thein but for the long and svstemnt ic operations of the Federal Govern ment, through which capital, and will it population nud power, have been ac cumulated there. The longer the Un ioji lasts, the stronger and more hoslil do our enemies become. We hope tli< leading men of Georgia, and the otbe Southern States, irrespective of old Fed cral parlies, will now think, speal write, nnd act for the interest, tafot} and independence of the South." a \(nn...w p.
