Sr. Lovis, Jan, 9th. The Mississippi Ordinance for immediate secession was agreed upon yesterday in Convention. Excitement intense. Sr. Louis, Jan, 10th, 10 a. mM. The steamship Star of the West, in ate . tempting to enter Charleston harbor, yesterday morning, was fired upon by the garrison ou Moore’s Island and by Fort Moultrie.

At eleven o'clock Major Anderson senta flag of truce, by Lieutenant Hall, to the Governor. A private interview took place. The . known, but Star of the object of the interview is not not supposed to refer to the West. The interview lasted two hours. Hall returned to the wharfina carriage with the Governor’s aid. The people were greatly excited, but no demonstrations were made against Hall, though there was great curiosity to know what he had came for. A Norfolk dispatch of the 9th, states that the sloop of war Brooklyn, bad just put to sea. She pasred the Capes at 2 Pp. M. A Washington dispatch of the 9th, states . that the object of the departure of the Brooklyn is supposed to be to bring back troops and Star of the West to Norfolk, in . case entrances is resisted by South Carolina authorities, The Mississippi ordinance of secession passed on the 9th Iifforts to postpone were voted down, The ing it unauvimous.

Ona test vote the secession ordi. . nance will probably pass by a small majoriity. Five volunteer companies, requested . by the Governor of Florida, have left for . Pensacola. in the midst of a great revolution; that he had no alternative but to collect the reve. Due and protect the public property as far . as practicable under existing laws; that the “power devolved on Congress to remove grievances which may lead to war; recommends the Missouri Compromise line as an . adjustment of difficulties; says the forts and . arsenals have been seized by aggressive ‘acts; that Congress should endeavor to settle the difficulties; Major Anderson had faithfully but imperfectly performed his duty. His reasons for not sending troops to . Charleston, was a belief that it would give a pretext, if not provication, for aggression. The message was discussed in the House, . andamotion to refer to a special committee to inquire into the whole subject, with power to send for persons and papers, pass‘ed by a vote of 103 to 62. In the Senate there was an exciting discussion, King compared the South Carolina Commissioners to Arnold and Burr. . Davis denounced the President bitterly. Sr. Louis, Jan. 12th. The Albany Journal announces officiaily, Seward’s acceptance of tbe position of Secretary of State, which was tendered last December. Sr. Lovis, Jan. 11th. On the 9th, Major Anderson senta note to Gov. Perkins, demanding an explanation in regard to the firing into the Star of the West. proceeding, when Anderson agreed to refer . the whole matter to Washington, and Lieut. Perkins gave his reasons for the by a vote of 84 to 15. . The President, on the 9th, sent a special . message to Congress, stating that we are . } Talbert set off immediately with dispatehes. Four shots struck the steamer, It is . thought she will be sent back immediately . with a naval force, if President Buchanan does not change his mind, Military expeditions have left New Orleans to seize Forts Jackson and Pike and . Baton Rogue arsenal. . Forty soldiers have been stationed in the . Sub-Treasury at St. Louis, by order of . General Scott, entirely as a precautionary measure. Fort Thursten, in North Carolina, was seized on the night of the 8th, by the Smith. well Guards. The steamer Joseph Whitney left Boston on the 10th, stopping at Fort Iadependence for munitions and troops, sapposed to re. inforee the Florida forts. The Charlestonians are engaged-in converting vessels into gun-boats, anticipating . the arrival of the Brooklya, and determinA. H.

The subject . was fully discussed yesterday, without con. clusion. The New York Legislature (not Virginia) has voted one million dollars for milita‘ry parposes, St. Louis Jan, 11th, 11 a. ws. Louisiana forts and arsenals were seized . to-day without resistance, . The New York Legislature, to-day, by a vote of 115 to 2, passed a resolution intro. duced by Speaker Littlejohn, denouncing the hostile proceedings of the Southern States as a declaration of war; applauding the firm course of the President ; tendering . men and money to uphold the laws, and . thanking the Southern States that have not joined the secessionists, Tuk TuL.arg Counrry.—As mining ope. . teturns made in from fifteen will sign the ordinance to-day, mak. rations grow less profitable, and opportuni. ties for engaging in mining become less numerous, the attention of people is being directed to the agricultural portions of the State. The Russian River, Napa, Santa Clara, San Joaquin and Tulare Valleys, SMITH’S GARDENS, co-operationiste was appointed to draft. have been filling up gradually, and their capabilities found out. But yet not one hundredth part of our fine agricultural lands have been occupied, and it shall be . our object occasionally to point out to immigrants sections of country where the ag. riculturist can locate in expectation of en. joying a& prosperous future. The Tulare . Valley during the last four years, has attracted considerable attention, aod particalarly hag it been brought into notice by the ‘Southern Overland Mail route and telegraph. which run directly through it. This valley is about 150 miles in length by 50 miles iu width, and, from one extremity to . the other, can boast of the finest soil in the world. The nomerous streams running from the Sierras to the Tulare Lake are . well timbered; the vast prairies afford extensive grazing facilities, and the bottom lands are equal to those of the Mississippi . for purposes of cultivation, In the last . four years the population and wealth of Tulare county alone have quadrupled, and . Visalia, which not long since was a mere . camp, is now a fine town supporting two journals and giving every evidence of pros. perity. As will be seen, this valley con. tains about as much territory as does the State of Massachusetts, and nearly every . foot of it is capable of cultivation with but little difficulty. It is not extravagant to say that it could support with ease a population of a million souls, . ‘True ss Preacuina.—An exchange says, . within the past halfcentary, our population has increased five-fold, while our federal office-holders have increased nine-fold. Thus it would appear that the bonds which bind . the Union together are multiplying even faster than its inhabitants ! Perrect Ivsrecment.—It seems almost certain that the violin is a perfect instrument, since, although more than 250 years bave transpired since its origin in taly, and countless attempts have been made to improve its construction, it remains without material change, . irra ettns Loup Cau. vor AYES aNnp Nogs.—At a late ball given by @ gentleman moving in ‘the first circles’? of Arizona, one of the dancers had the end of his nose bitten off . and his eyes nearly put oxt.
