The editor of the Carolinian
has conversed with a gentleman who brings cheering news from the Executives of
the above States. Gov. PETTUS, of
Mississippi, on the receipt of the news of LINCOLN’S election, will immediately
convene the Legislature. The Disunion
vote will be overwhelming. The Governor
of Georgia will call for a large appropriation to arm the State. Gov. MOORE, of Alabama, will immediately
issue writes of election for a new Legislature.
In Louisiana it is thought that the Disunion movement will prevail, and
Florida is said to consider herself in advance of South Carolina. We have no fears of Southern co-operation. The cotton States at least must be united.
