policy of tho Government and the popu-
lar sentiment ot Urn country <*n the eub*
iert of tho emancipation of tho slaves of
tbo South, ami I hog to as-uro you thorn
ts no diva-ion of opinion upon tho subject
of immediate abolition, it is dec rood
alike by the Government and Uto people.
They have tho power and they nrn deter
mined to exercise it, and to overcome all
obstacles which we may attempt to throw
in tho way. Indeed, they trout it as an
accomplished fact, under tho proclama
tions of the into President, i:sued us wmv
measures, necessary to tho life of the
Government. As matters now stand, to
tight against it is to contend against mani
fest destiny. He-idoa, slavery has been
so disturbed,§nd tbo slaves so demoralized
during the war,that it i a matter of great
doubt whether they could ever be kept in
a tUte of proper subordination and the
institution mado profitable in future.
I nder theso * ircuinsiarccs the question
arwos, what shall wo do? Nothing that
wa ran do will prevent tin* ro«u!t,nna it is
my opinion that any effort on our part to
thwart tbo Government on thin great
qun»ti.»n, will only add to our miseries
and our misfortums. Tho slut* smun.liko
the husinc*.- man, should take a practical
vo w of questions os they arise,and do lor
thus© dependent upon aim the best that
can be done under all tho circumstances
by which they are at tho lime surround * 1.
Applying this rule to our present condi
tion, and remembering that revolution
and war often sweep away long • tnblish-
ed usages. dnmolLh theories and change
institutions, it i*, in my judgment, tho
best that wo accept the fate imposed upon
us by the fortunes of war, and that wo
givo up slavery at once, by the action of
the convention which, it i« supposed, will
assemble under tbe call of tbo provisional
governor appointed to reorganize the
Stato government; that wo organize a
system of labor speedily hs possible,.

During my sojourn there, T found
among tho peopio of tbo North much less
bitterness than I had anticipated towards
the people of tbe South, ltd we act pro-
denily, and do nothing to cause unnoce*-
agitation, or to provoke angry, un
profitable discussions. I think there are
strong reasonn to hope that a sentiment of
justice and liberality will prevail so soon
a* we have given up slavery and the pas
sions engendered by the unfortunate and
wicked aua»sinalion of tho late President
kave had inno to subside.
In making up th**ir judgment, upoh
Wol inflection, it should t)o emembere i
by just tti«u in tho North that they are
silting as judges in their own cause; that
their adversaries’ side of ibuquealiou has
oe«sed to be represented or heard, and
that if they would restore unity, harmony
a*4 permanent prosperity to the whole
country, they must, while flashed with
victory, exercise magnanimity to their
fallen foes, whose neroum they are obliged
respect. Other wise, though hutd in tne
Union by force, they could not expect tbo
pauple of tbe South and their posterity to
“•at them in future iss friend* and urn-
br«oe them as feilow-eitiz^ns. I trust

this, and that moderation and wine conn-

wo tin not propose to discuss, there are
but two terms which can bo applied to tbo
luto war—one rebellion,Ibo *»tber tivil iour.
That this war was not tlm former, but llm
latter, leaving out td consideration tho
right of a Slate to secede, wc apponl to
Valid to show. This groat jurist is gu
iicUnowledgod authority tho world over,
on nil mailers touching tho law of ualioiii;
wo will hear him speak. Ho sayl, ill bis
Law of Nations, p.-420:
“When a parly is formed in a stato, who
no longer obey tho sovereignty, and are
poT.-nifticd of sufficient strength to opposo
him—or whon, in a republic, tbo nation
is divided into two opposite factions, and
imtli tides taken up arms—this is called
civil war. Gome writers confine tliis lorm
to u just insurrortiou oT ibo subject*
against their sovuroign, to distinguish that
lawful resistance from rebellion, which is
an open and unjust icsistanco. Hut what
appellation will ibey givu to a war which
arises in a republic torn by two factions—
or in a monarchy, between two compe
titors for tho crown? Custom appropri
ate* the term ol "civil war'* to every war
between ihe members of ono and tbe same
political society. Il it bo between part of
the citizens on tin* one fide, and tbo sov
ereign, with those who continue in obedi
ence to him, on tho other—provided the
i.iHioontanu h«vo any reason for taking
up arms, nothing further t* required to
oQtilln «uch disturbance to tbo name of
civil u'<ir t and not that of rebellion. This
latter term is applied only to such nil in
surrection against lawful authority, as is
void of all appcaranio of justice. Tiie
sovereign, indeed, never fails to bostow
the HppollHtn.ii of rebels on all such of LD
subjects as openly resist him; but when
i he I alter have acquired sufficient
strength to give him effectual opposition,
and to oblige biin to catry on tho war
against them according to tho established
mien [». e. t*> recognize them as belliger-
ents. ] be must necessarily submitt to tbe
uso of the term civil war."
Judged by these rtiloa tnltnn from tho
writings of tbo acknowledged standard on
the law of nations, the late war between
the Nwrlh end South, if it was not a war
•between sovoroign and independent .States
will bo ('ailed in history a civil war, and
iiol a rebellion. For it is evident in the
language of Vatt**!. that the .South "was
poss(‘"si)d of sufficient strength to give
him, (the Prooldnnt) offectual opposition,
and to oblige him to carry on the War
against them according to the established
mienand hence to adopt tbo conclusion
of thin Jurist "ho must necessarily submit
to the UNO of the term ‘civil war.’" If
Mens. Vnttel lied wished to select an ex
ample of civil war with which to illustrate
tho page*; of his erudite work on "The
Law ol Nations," he could not, undnr tho
abrogat ion of tho right of a State to so-
code, by the arbitrament of tho sword,
havo selected h more pertinent one, than
the Into war betwnon tno North and tho
South.—Macon 'i'rlcgraph.

nr© many incidents of crime brought to
our notice almost daily occurring in our
land, wc do not know that wo havo over
been so shocked us wo wero on ynstordny.
when the following incident was related
to us by a friend, as occurring at Carters-
ville, in this .Stato, on Monday ovoning
last.
A number of poor suffering women bad
collected at that point to receive rations
being distributed to thorn by agents
nr officers of tho Government, when tho
proMuro becanio so groat umong them,
ouch to procure hor share, that much nn-
gry fouling and struggling ensued in tho
eflorto all wero making to approach the
distributing agents or officers. One poor
unfortiiimtu woman, it scorns, had suc
ceeded in gutting in ndvancj of anotlior,
which so infuriated tho latter that sho in
stantly drew from her person a knife,and
plunged it sevoral times into tho body of
the woman who precodod hor, causing
almost in«tunt death. The woman who
committed this horrid deed hud iu iier
arms at tho limo u small child, At the
desperate and bloody act, the populace
around becamo so enraged that, whon our
informant loft, il was appruhoudoa that
they would inllict upon tho criminal sum
mary punishment by banging hor to a
tree. NVo tru«t this second tragedy did
not occur. Hloody m was the deed, wo

Id a published* legal argument, I held that
tbe convention of Georgia "wa* not abso

that "tho sovereignty of the people* had

which the delicacy of iny position de

This is an immense duty, rising from i

lost it may nover roturn. It would be, in
my judgmont, the darkest outrage a uiun
could commit against humanity to coun
sel any rosisluncc to the restoration of
peace ready to flow through the channels
of tbe law. Conscience will sting In tho
grave hlin who in this hour docs not lend
a willing hand to restore the constitutional
functions of the country. The voice «*f
family, country anu posterity appeals to
averv one who holds a plaqa in luo organi
zation of power to bung back, with cor
dial ©o-ojinration, the guarduns of tho
nubile weal,‘to heal th© wounds, comport*
the dissentient* and restore tu« lineriy of

We ©an admit© the po* try of feeling that
loves a cause with all the idolatry of a
mistress; hut tho passion is not i*o lofty as
tho reasoning and steady affliction of a
wife. _ We may go too far, and when wo

Hut with tbnae, tho peoplo reduced to
poverty, must son tho spirit in which their
interests aro to bo protected, before we can
anticipate either pride or enthusiasm. The
institutions of tho land will be reorgan
ized, the constitutions of the States chan-
R ed, and in tlio policy foreshadowed by
)0 President of tho United Btatetl the
masses of the people will have a voice In
fixing and settliog their own rights and
destiny. The wisdom of tho heart, and
the logic of necessity, will counsel their
notion. Though now tossed upon the
waves, we trust soon to see the Dove over
the waste of waters, cortiing with broken
wing again to shelter in the Ark, and the
State, launching forth to a new destiny,
will carry the freighted hopes and prayers
of the people.
Cle
oared for action in the field of indus
try and enterprise, Georgia will soon re
sume hor position, and wealth and pros
perity pour again into her lap. Tho na
tion is young—the dews of its baptism
scarco wet upon its forehead—and we look
to a manly stride over tho troublea of tbe
oust, and ati unwearied murcb to prosper-
ity* Uur fields will soon resound with
tho hum of industry, our unvHs ring with
the music of labor, our peoplo won back
to peaceful pursuits by family associa
tions, and tho influoncos of religion give
a jjew impetus to civiiizition; and under
thu Inspiration of fortune, the nation
plum© itself and arch ks nock for a flight
to immortality. Such, i trust, will bo our
dostiuy, counselled by "wisdom, justico
and moderation,’’ aim may Ooa in his
infinito uicrcy send angels to lift every
shadow from our path to tbe destiny that
awaits us.
My prayer for tbo country is tho invo-
cation of my heart, for you havo honored
me; and with Georgia, as I would have
almrod her glory, I will remain to share
hor into. To sit by her sick bed, is a duty
tlio instinct of honor prompts. To coun
sel her for prosperity, tho instinct of rea
son equally deuiunds. I would bo untrue
to duty, myself and you, if 1 permitted
prido to blond with my counsels, or freezo
tho streum of con victim that flows from
tho inmost rocossos uf my soul.
I thoroforo counsel, with ull tbo asseve
ration of truth, obedience to tho laws and
constituted authorities; a choerful acqui
escence to the designs of Frovideuco; an
unmurmuring assent to tho docroo of fate;
and by our roadiness to accept the position
God has assigned us, illustrate our desire
for the restoration of law, order and gov
ernment, that wo may enter our career,

bocome u mockery,if men nr© not allowed j U?n or i!l. m t. l i l iT .?.!!
to abuse nnd talk as they plenvo. This “
mutter bus nlways in practice been misun
derstood. Tho lioorty of reason anu mu
ilia are not more distinct. Tho tnndnmn
does us bo pleases, but it does not mi low
that every »onnible man rnuy act like bo
whs innd ; tbo iitw restrains evuu passion.
Vituperative epithet* on public men are
twi evidences of liberty of speech; offi
cials ate representative muu embodying
tbo dignity uud representing tho power ut
position, und tho outpourings of disup*
pointmeut and malice should be restrain**
ud. Liberty of cqtiuion docs not consist
in conceptions ot but© which rankle into
crime. Opinions ripeniug into acts must
bain viow of law, pacific—aud tolerance
in opinion is ono ot tb© elements of peace;
muu may differ, like l\>lybiu« aud rliny,
U(>on every subject, moral, social and re
ligious, aud remain, like ilium, tbo warm
est and most devotud frklids.
When we sue tbj present condition of
our people, we aro forced to ultor our
earnest cuiiviclions against all crimination
and recrimination, it is not to be hoped
that tbe leaching, education and training
of an age can bu thrown aside in an hour,
or that a man can shako of)' his opiniou*
like apples from a true. These opinion-
may reiuaiu, nay, will remain. Tbo rea
son and judgment, however, of the poo*
pie, will see the necessity of subordina
ting them to the crisis. Amelioraliuns of
ooudition may exist without systems of
violence, and our red ciion tenches that
liberty consists mu in uesirMctioiis, but
equatilitfA—equallUea political, civil and
religious; equalitius of order, based on
tbu respect of all and each. 1 Lr practical
must take thu place of theory, and econ
omy thu place of politics.
We learn by experience, that a too
ovurwo«*mng uslimale i f one’s sell or
country, may produce pride und obstina
cy, ana that thus©, either in nations or in
dividuals, generally ©nd in concussion. Iu
our coi.-'lion, however, I d*' iff't appre

path of progress. Hut yet much lut* been

twiau iu aru*s of song around, much for
glory iu tb© future. Th© world will Vec-
oguigo the grandeur of this naliou, its
power be felt aittid the courts of foreign
demanded.
