Jackson, January 12, 1861
The Commissioner from Alabama addressed the Convention today.
The Convention will probably be in session two weeks longer.
Nothing of importance was done today.
The artillery was ordered to Vicksburg by the Governor early this morning to hail and question passing boats.
A salute of fifteen guns was fired last night on the reception of the news from Alabama and Florida. There is great excitement.
