THE SECESSION MOVEMENT SPEECH BY CALEB CUSHING. LETTER FROM GOV. WISE. FEELING IN LOUISIANA. Correspondence of The N. Y. Tribune. New-Orleans, Nov. 20, 1860. The memorial to Gov. T. O. Moore, of this State, asking him to convene the Legislature at the earliest possible date, was signed by about 500 persons, the greater part of whom are men of wealth and good standing. Whatever weight it may have with the Governor, an extra session would doubtless have been called without it The Governor arrived in the city yesterday, accompanied by Gen. Palfrey. He will very shortly return to Baton Rouge, and thence issue his proclamation, calling the Legislature together on the 10th of December. A meeting of the Southern Rights Association is called at Odd Fellows Hall on the 23d. A meeting was held lately at Bayou Grosse Tete, at which resolutions were passed warmly favoring an immediate separation from the Confederacy. Col. R. A. Stewart and T. Johnston, Esq., addressed the audience, and advised every one to prepare for any emergency that might arise. It was determined to organize a military company. At Baton Rouge, also, there are military movements. A man named Foster who has for some time been an assistant editor of a German paper in this city, the Zeitung, left suddenly upon receiving several hints that a longer stay might affect his breathing apparatus. It was ascertained that he had written several letters to a German paper in New-York, in one of which he said that Abolitionism was thriving in New-Orleans, and that the day was not far distant when the trees would be bent with the weight of slaveholders hanging by the neck. Another side of the story is that he owed certain little amounts which he found himself unable to pay. The Mobilians disturbed the tranquility of a piano turner the other night, and urged him with revolvers and double-barreled shot-guns to go away. The offense was the utterance of Abolition sentiments. He and his son were started for this city, but the authorities here forwarded him without delay up the river. A grand march, composed by E. O. Eaton, and dedicated to the Minute Men, has been published, and an afternoon paper remarked that it is a spirited martial air, and calculated to freeze Lincoln's blood when he hears it. I am told that the feeling through the agricultural parts of this State is generally for immediate secession in as cool and quiet a manner as possible. Reports from Texas say that the lone-star flag has been raised in Gonzales and other places, that the agitation is very great, and that the feeling is almost unanimous for secession. If Texas withdraws, Louisiana is bound to follow. Identical interests dictate the same policy.
