" Thus much' for our cause, our determination and bur strength. Our enemies may well believe that time will not ' weaken ' them. Necessity is often a rado, but sometimes a kind master ; and this difficulty with the North will teach the South to rely upon her own resources. Up to 1,840, Tennessee and Kentucky ranked first and second aM.no grain and meat States of the Union; and theyere not now far behind any. They still rank above all others in mules and horses. The South can raise ten bushels of grain where she needs one; and henceforth she will do it. . It feeding nor people, she is equal to any and every emergen cy; and the great North west, bich bas always found; her tho best customer, need no longer count upoH her as a buyer. When six ,or seven mil lions pf people withdraw, their trade .front the States of the Ohio valley and rely dpbn themselves, that valley must soon' feel the damaging effects of such a movement; for they: have but litae to sell buf the products of agriculuire. Nofi so wilh the South ; ?b not only becomes thus independent of her enemy, but she ' still retains the eommand of the. commerce of tho world in raising the great articles of our export wealths-cotton, tobacco, sugar and rice. In .brief, while the Sonth is supporting herself at homersbb knows that Eu rope nnitt hare hor great staples of export ; while the North j in losing her 'best custoners, is oob selons'that she cannot supply thir place. As all this may be said of the agricultural re sources of the two sections, it may be also said of their mineral and mechanical resources. The best coal, lead, and iron mines, are in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas; and it would be idle to suppose that, in an issue like tb js, bur people will not call out all their inventive-talent and ingenuity, and turn them,' to the most valuable account The evidence of this determination is seen in tjie' fac that at various points iVthe Sooth, mett;are tiow 'industriously engaged in' casting guns of all sizes, and prepar ing all the implements of modern warfare. In one? yejjr; fr&uM this dat,- Xklt j revolvers and Minnie and Sharp's rifles will be In the hands of hal&the military torces of odr Southern land. Bo will it be with furniture, clothing, hotfter hold goods and utensils which the South now ob tain? from her northern enemies ; and tbe North, when too late, will awaken- t the fact, that in trying to subjugate us she has aroused that spirit among us which will make us really and truly independent, whiLe that independence will cost her vastly more than she ever bargained for or dreamed of. The North thinks she has caught us without arms, and places an embargo on their importation She will, perhaps; learn in due time, that if our own arsenals can not supply us in time, England can. Cotton commands gold. It will command anything else Europe has to sell. . England can not afford to let four millions, of cotton spinners and weavers starve for the want of cotton, merely to gratify Lincoln in his war upon the South ; and tbe South may rest assured that if she will de mand arms instead, of gold for a portion of her cottony the, army will come. . , Thus in any and every aspect of tho question, the South, in this unnatural contest, has the van tage ground ; and the North will soon feel and acknowledge it. : SOUTHRON ' MEDICAL CONVENTION.

TheonunHtee reported onehundred and twelve delegates present, with properly authenticated cer tificates. Whereupon, Mr. "Walter F, Leake, of Rich mond, nominated Hon. Weldoo N, Edwards of Warren, for President of the Convention. Mr. Badger added to the nomination the Hon. Wm. A. Graham of Orange, and the Convention proceeded to vote viva voce, tbe above committee acting as tellers. The result was announced as follows: 112 votes cast, of which Mr. Edwards re ceived 65 votes, and Mr. Graham, 47. Mr. Edwards having been declared duly elect ed, was conducted to the chair by Messrs. Leake and Badger, and returned his thanks in an elo quent and patriotic address, f. At the conclusion of Mr. lEd wards' remarks, Mr. Badger presented a papeJjJwhicb. he desired to be reai. . Mr. Venable suggested that the Convention now be opened with prayer. Mr. Osborne - thought the organization of the Convention should be completed at once, and pro ceeded to nominate for Principal Clerk, Mr. Wat tor L. Steele of Richmond. - j, '' ' MK Reid moved that two tellers be appointed to superintend the election. r Mr. Barnes moved that Mr. Steele be appointed Prineipal Clerk and Mr. L. C. Edwards, of Gran ville, assistant. The President decided the motion out of order, the convention having agreed to go into the elec tion of Principal Clerk. Mr. Barnes moved to reconsider tho decision of the Convention to go into tho election of Princi pal Clerk, and the motion did not prevail. . , Mr Battle, of Watys, then . nominated J. H. Moore. ' ' ' j Messrs. Winslow and Thompson, ot Wayne, were appointed tellers tosupcflhtend the election,5 and the Convention' iberi proceed to vote viva voce, and resulted in the election of Mr. Steele. The.Coavention then proceeded to the election of Assistant Clerk. Mr. Reid nominated 31r. J. A. Engelhard, of Edgecombe r: Mr. Venable" nominated Dr. 8. A. Williams, of G ran ville; Mr. Miller nominated Mr. J. A. Fox, of Mecklenburg; MrBarnes nominated Mr. L; C. Edwards, of Granville; and Mr. Brown nominated Mr; M. H. Pinnix of Cas well; subsequently tho latter nomination was withdrawn. ' Messrs. Miller and Barnes, were appointed as tellers to superintend the election, who reported .On motion of Mr. Biggs, Mr. Page, of Tlan dolpb, Mr. Itovoll, of Surry, and J. C. Moore, of Wake, were appointed Door-keepers. Mr. Venable then renewed his motion to open the deliberations of Convention with prayor, which was concurred in. Rev. J. W. -Tucker, of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, then by invitation, offeroi a most solemn and impressive prayer for the support and guidance of the Snpreme Dispenser of events, in the deliberations of this body upon the great and 'momentous questions which would be brought be fore it. :. 'I. '. ,' ! A communication from the Hon P.J.Moses, Commissioner from the State' of South Carolina, was announced by the President, which was road by the Clerk. The President appointed Mesurs. Venable and RufHn to wait on Mr. Moses, and invite him to a seat in the convention. The committee having discharged their duty, tbe President on behalf of the Convention wel comed tho Hon. gentleman, who responded in quite an appropriate and patriotic style, and pre sented his credentials with the ordinance of se cession passed by the Convention of the State ol South Carolina, and invited the co-operation of .worm uaroima merem. A resolution inviting the Clergy of the City to open the daily sittings of the Convention with prayer, was passed over informally in order that the committee to prepare rules for the govern ment of the Convention might report the same. Mr.Meares suggested that the rules of the Con vention of 1835 be adopted for the government of this body. . . . Mr. Biggs said he thought there was no neces sity of adopting rules to-day ; the Convention ought to pass an ordinance of secession immedi ately; he was opposed to any delay in thia matter. Mr. Craige expressed his concurrence in the remarks of the gentleman who had just taken his seat. There was perfect unanimity of senti ment on this suject thoughout the State. He was in favor of making a declaration of independence from the old federal Union on this day particu larly. He said he had an ordinance of secession which he would present to the Convention. The President decided that the paper introduc ed by Mr. Badger (which was an ordinance of separation,) was first in order. Mr, Craige thought that Mr. Badger's resolu tions were not regularly before the Convention, but desired that they should be read, and if i they expressed his views he would vote for them, but if not, would move his as a substitute. Mr. Badger's resolutions were then read. Mr. Ray ne? suggested the propriety of the pro ceedings on the resolutions being conducted in secret session. No action however was taken in this matter. ' Mr. Craige then offered'-bis resolutions as a substitute to those of Mr. Badger : j MR. TRAIO'9 SUBSTITUTE TO MB. BADGER'? RESO LUTION.

He said he thought that the voice of this' convention should go forth as the Unanimous expression of the will of the people, and this would be better bfiected by the discussion on this subject being conducted with closed doors.? . . ' . a ' Mr. Reid said he differed , from the gentleman whd had iustspokw, relative ta the propriety xt goJng intd'sefcret session. , T There was perfect unanimity on thesobjec't 6t secession ; there was only a differ-unco of opinion in regard t the manner of expressing iL Htf de manded tletyftas and hayi pon the motion v. .The President said there was no rule adopted by.tbe Convention by which the yeas and navs mldbKteratU 4H!JQuld,09ly,lMiv tham doredby a majority of the Convention. .

He sapposed that evfery ' Psfeg? ired, M bavejiiiyojte, .Oftitjsaoriei. upon the Journal. Mr. Graham thought that the- Convention might adopt the rules of the House of Commons by which a call .for. the yeas and nays might be ordered and eftbinilted a motion to that effect.?

Mr. Badger obtained ' the floor abd spoke 15 defence of his resolution at some length. , Tbe reportei hopes to be able to obtain a synopsis pt Mr. B's remarks hereafter. . U Mr. Craige replied in defonce of his resolution. He thought it would be better that a simple ordi nance of secession should be passed now. He offered the substitute because Mr. Badger's reso lutions while they embraoe many and strong rea 60ns, they did not set forth all the reasons for a sparation. They did not seem to intimate that cause ex isted for the separation prior to the proclamation of Lincoln issued on the 16th of April, while there were many members of the convention who believed that causes did exist for a separation prior to that time. Therefore, while many would dissent from the views of the preamble of Mr. B's resQlutions, they could all cdncur in a simple declaration of secession contained in his substi tute. Mr. Ruffin said that difficulties might exist in members in voting for either of the the minds of members in voting ordinances. He thought that reasons for a sep aration should be set forth in the ordinance, but was not prepared to accept those in the preamble of Mr. B. without amendments. There were many and strong reasons for a sep aration that were not set forth in the preamble. He would therefore more to lay both tne propo sitions on the table for the purpose of introducing resolution: ssinvply declaring the state of N. C. out of the old Federal Unidn and for the ap pointment of a committee .to frame and present to the convention ja formal declaration of secession, setting forth the ivasor.s for such separation. The yea and hays were; ordered upon the res olution ol Mr. Ruffin and resulted. yeas 4 1, nnvs 49.. ': J Mr. Ferebee called for.idivision of the question, and the question being put upon striking out, resulted in the affirmative. Yoa; 72, nays 3f. ; Tbe question then recurred on the adoption of Mr. Craige's substitute. The substitute was road. Mr. Ruffin objected to .that part of the ordi nance which repeals the action of the convention of 1789 adopting the Federal Constitution. He thought we did not go out of the Union by vir tue of any such repeal, we had no constitutional right technically to repeal that ordinance, but we went out simply; because we willed it, and moved that that portion of the substitute which repeal ed the ordinance of 178&be stricken out. Mr. Venable said there was no necessity for striking out He claimed the right to repeal the ordinance and also to go out of the IT r ion simply because we willed it. Both the clauses might be retained. The question then recurring on the proposition of Mr. Ruffin to strike out, be withdrew it. Mr. Graham renewed it. Mr. Ashe demanded the yeas and nays, yeas 4T nays 65 ; so the motion to strike out didnot prevail. . The question; was then taken directly on the substitute of Mr. Craige, and unanimously adop ted 115 voting. Mr. Leake, of Richmond, thon called for "throe cheers for the State of South Carolina tho noblest Roman of them all," which were heartily given. Mr. Smith, of Halifax, moved that a committeo on credentials be appointed which was adopted, and the chair appointed Messrs. Howard, Thorn ton, Barnes, Battle, of Wake, and Biggs. Mr. Rayner moved that the Ordinance of Se cession just passed bo enrolled . upon parchment, so as to be ready for the signature of the mem bers of the Convention at 12 o'clock to-morrow. The motion was amended by the appointment of a committee to have the Ordinance properly enrolled and presented for signature as soon as practicable. The committeo consists of Messrs. Barnes, Rayner, Venable,, Ruffin and Craige. Mr. Barnes presented papers concerning the contested election in HaKfax.'which were referred to tho Committee on Credentials. On motion, a committee consisting of Messrs. Reid, Graham. Meares, Gilmer and Biggs were appointed to prepare rules for the government of the Convention. "Mr. Meares introduced an ordinance providing for the adoption of the provisional Government of the Confederate States of America, and tho same waa read. BY MR. MKABES OF BRUNSWICK.

The General says, "whilst disclaiming all do sire or intention to interfere with the, preroga tive of the Stateqf Missouri, or with the functions of its Executive, yet I regard it my plain path of duty to express to the'people of Missouri, in respectful but decided: language, that-within the field and scope of my command the supreme law of the land must and shall be maintained, and no subterfuges whatever in forms of legislative acts or otherwise, can be permitted to harass or oppress the good and law-abiding people.of Mis souri." ; 1 1 " .'
