Wayne, by spirited manoeuvres, succeeded in wresting the statthe latter, Wayne, with his small but trustworthy corps, joined the standard of Greene. His successes had been gained by troops who had neither regular food, nor clothing, nor pay. In South Carolina, Greene and Wayne and Marion, and all others in high command, were never once led by the assassinations committed under the authotrade of blood, and would rather spare one poor savage than destroy twenty, and Greene, who longed for the repose of domestic life, strove to reconcile the Carolina patriots to the loyalists. The complaints of Greene respecting the wants of his army were incessant and just. In January, he wrote: Our men are almost naked for waicipated, and confidence had been squandered away. In spring he had written to Greene, but for whom he thought the line of Virginia might have been the boundary line

r, I tender you our services, as stated in said paper. This is a copy taken by me from the original, which I retain for the purpose of enlarging the number. We expect to increase the number to fifty. Our people in this county, I think, are in favor of immediate secession, but need to be aroused. We have active friends, earnestly at work, whose labors are telling with striking effect. We have invited Gov. Wise to address us on the 22d. The subject will be publicly discussed next week in Greene, and the week after in Culpeper. I think it quite probable that a Convention of this State will he held. The immediate secession of one or more cotton States will greatly strengthen us in Virginia. We are looking with the greatest anxiety to South Carolina, and it would greatly cheer and strengthen us if we can be apprized that she will promptly secede. Yours truly. "To the Governor of South Carolina:--The undersigned citizens of Madison county. Virginia, believing that South

Georgia Legislature. Milledgeville, Nov. 29.--Mr. Meloney, of Clarke, introduced a bill in the House to-day providing for prohibiting the levying of executions issued from United States Courts, on the property of citizens of Georgia, prior to December, 1861, declaring void all such processes. The bill to protect the rights of citizens of Georgia was debated. Mr. Lewis, of Greene, ordered an amendment, extending the provisions of the bill to citizens of every State that voted for Lincoln, which was agreed to. Mr. McDonald, of Lumpkin, opposed the bill and amendment, and expressed warm Union sentiments. He offered an amendment proposing to fine every Georgian two thousand dollars who sells a bale of cotton or a barrel of apples to any person north of Mason and Dixon's line! The amendment caused much commotion, and during the discussion which ensued conservative sentiments were freely uttered.--The bill was made the special order of the day for Friday next, when an exciting

e that all this fuss is about them, entered into the rejoicing, and almost forgot that the whites have the best right to the sidewalk. Fire companies, with blazing torches and decorated engines, wended their way slowly through the throng. Young and old participated alike, and by the omnipresent light, we recognized many a fair lady, much better used to the drawing-room than the jolting of an excited crowd. As for the children, they forgot to get sleepy. All the streets, lower Broad, Greene and others, were bright with frequently occurring illuminated mansions, and there were scores who showed their sympathy with secession on a smaller scale. The fine effect of the four hundred guns fired, was doubled by the rapidity of the fire. One hundred guns in six minutes is pretty good for four pieces and a citizen company. The Union is gone; we have buried it out of our sight, and fired cannon over its grave. Let its tomb be marked with the simple inscription: Hic Jacet--The Past.
