From the South.

Augusta, Ga. Nov. 25
--Mr. Memminger has recently made a speech at Greenville, S.C., in which he advised secession, but said it was impossible for South Carolina to secede without a war with the General Government. He greed thorough preparations, and said South Carolina could only be attacked by water. He trusted her citizens in the mountains would be ready to march to the protection of Charleston.

Milledgeville, Ga., Nov. 25.--The House, Saturday, resolved to elect Electors next Thursday.

The Bank bill which passed the Senate, has not engrossed to a third reading in the House. It repeals the law forbidding Banks from ending their notes out of the State for the purpose of discounting drafts; repeals the retractions against selling anything but sight decks, and, in view of the monetary troubles and apprehensions of succession, suspends operation of the act inflicting pain and forfeiture of paying specie, it prohibits levying in favor of or against suspended Banks favoring their suspension, provided, in either way satisfactory security can be given. It is believed the bill will pass.
