POSTSCRIPT.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
The Atlantic arrived at Southampton yesterday. Her advices state that the crisis in the Southern States continues. At Charleston prepa- rations were steadily progressing for the Convention. Cavalry and in- fantry were in the streets in large numbers, drilling. In Mobile, a meet- ing of all parties unanimously favoured secession. Resolutions to await the action of other States were voted down and withdrawn. The stu- dents of the University in Virginia had held a meeting, and adopted reso- lutions approving the action of the seceding States. In Georgia it was agreed that no Union party should be formed, and that the delegates elected for a Convention should be untrammelled by pledges. At Ala- bama the disunion feeling is on the increase. The people are more quiet than ever before known, but all are determined to act.
