ates, under the Constitution for the Government of the same. Mr. Stephens moved that the bill be put upon its passage, and that the vote on it be taken by States. Mr. Withers, of S. C., said he presumed the official evidence of the passage of an Ordinance of Secession by the State of Arkansas was in this Convention, and he desired to have the fact so announced. Mr. Stephens, of Ga., said that all the official papers were here. The President stated that the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Stephens) had in his possession the Ordinance of Secession adopted by the Convention of Arkansas, and also the ordinance adopting the Provisional Constitution. Mr. Withers.--I am satisfied. It is best always to know that the official papers are present. On the call of States, the vote in favor of the admission of Arkansas was unanimous. On motion of Mr. Stephens, the delegates from Arkansas were then sworn in and took their seats. The delegates are-- R. W. Joh

irmish, but the readiness of our men in fighting evinces a spirit of resistance worthy of comment. The Monticello, it is said, has gone seaward. It is presumed she sustained heavy damages in her engagement, which induced this move. I rather believe she was mistaken in our strength. It is numerously thought the design of our enemy in making these little "brushes," is to invade us by land, and finally to take possession of our Yard. This, I regard, impossible. Under the eye of Major Gwynn, it has undergone the strongest fortification, and Lincoln's cohorts can never prevail. I am pained to say another one of the young men Smiths, of Georgia, has died. Out of the three brothers who nobly came to the rescue of our beloved State, only one survives to mourn their loss. God be with the parents to strengthen and sustain them in this their deep affliction. In a distant land, our sympathies respond, and we consign, with bitter tears, this loved one to the silent grave.

The spirit of '76--the Old rifleman. We are indebted to gentleman of Columbus, Ga., for the following lines, by Frank Ticknor, M. D., of that city, which has the ring of the true metal. Every old Virginia rifleman, and every descendant of a Virginia rifleman, of '76, should take down his old gun, and talk to her as our Georgia friend does to "Old Bess:" The Old rifleman.by Ben. Now bring me out my buck-skin suit! My pouch and powder, too! We'll see if seventy-six can shoot As sixteen used to do. Old Bess! we've kept our barrels bright! Our trigger quiet and true! As far, if not as fine a sight, As long ago, we drew! And pick me out a trusty flint! A real white and blue. Perhaps I will win the other tint. Before the hunt is through! Give boys your braze percussion caps! Old "shut pan" suits as well! There's something in the sparks; perhaps There's something in the smell! We've seen the red-coat Briton bleed! The red-skin indian, too! We never though

. The battery at Sewell's Point was again the object of interest yesterday evening. A steamer from the baboon's squadron about Old Point and the mouths of our rivers, approached this battery and shots were exchanged. The respectful distance, however, maintained by the infernal invader, proved to be without the range of our guns. This was a source of regret, for we did not wish to waste a grain of powder. Captain Colquitt, the gallant commander of the accomplished Light Guards from Georgia, now has charge of this battery. In the former sparring he had to cool the ardor of our braves. He made them an eloquent speech of fifteen minutes, which had the desired effect, and then suiting the action to the word, himself aimed the shot which told upon the Monticello. The shell which the steamer tired yesterday evening fell near the battery without exploding-- the fuse having re fused, and thus thwarted the devilish designs of its operators. I saw yesterday the two fine-looking
