Camp Ogle-thorp was thronged with the elite cf the city and surrounding country A fiiend who surveyed the beautiful spectacle from an emi nence, says that the thousands of gallant soldiery seemed lost in the vast crowd. The Governor, with his suite came upon the grounds at four o’clock in an open barouche, bscortcd by the Bibb Cavalry, G’apt. Napier, and found the Regiment and Battalion drawn up iu line with standard . dJ. 3 pj a yed. After review they were marched ii) column by Com panies, (thirteen in number—the Dahlonega Company not having yet arrived —) past the Governor and staff. The Regiment and Bat talion, were then formed into three sides cf a hollow square, and an invitation extended to the spectators to fill up the intervening space, which was done with no little rapidity. IIi s Excellency then addresed the whole in the very appropriate speech we append below, which was frequently iuterupted by the plaud its of the auditory and soldiery. The Governor’s concluding address to the soldiery was most effective, and met with a stirring response from the gallant defenders of their country's rights. They Lave, indeed, the reputation and honor of Georgia in their keep ing. Wh© docs not feel what lusture the gallant Palmetto Regiment in Mexico reflected upon South Carolina, and how it was the mis* fortune of the Indiana Regiment to inflict a lasting stain upon the escutcheon of that State ? The gallant Georgia Regiment and Battalion, number in tanks many of tlie brightest intellectsand most chivalrous spirits in the proud Empire State. A large part of them leave homes cf luxury, case and refine ment, for the hard fare of the private soldier in camp. One of the companies, the Bain bridge Yclunteeis, uniformed in coarse flannel shirts, and pantaloons of the coarsest negro clctb. are said to represent over a million of dollars in real and personal estate. But we have no space for further discourse. The fol lowing is the . , Governor’s Address. Officers and Soldiers ~ The circumstances which have called for this rendezvous are of a peculiar character,— Our fathers bequeathed to us the wisest and best Government on the face of the earth The foundation upon which that Government was based, were the equality of the States, and the equal protection of the rights of the citizens of every section of the Union. Equality of sovereignty, equality of rights, and equality of protection, are all that the South ever demand ed. She has borne much, and endured long, but her stern decree has at last gone forth that with less than these she will never be con tent. In the hope of a returning sense of justice on the part of the people of the North ern States, and for the sake of the Union, the South has long submitted to unjust Congres sional legislation, which has plundered her o! millions of dollars annually, to build up and enrich her N irthern confederates. Southern industry has been taxed for lhe benefit of Northern interests, until onr confed erates there, sustained by our bounty, and pampered ly our liberality, have grown rich and haughty. Not content with all the advan tage affordc 1 them by our tariff acts, naviga tion laws and o’Uer legislation, !nt nded to tax us for theii benefit, they Lave even grown insolent, and despite our frequent warnings and remonstrances, have assumed to exercise the right of regulating our domestic affairs, ao c: i ding to their own notions of propriety. Not only so, but they have assumed to themselves exclusive ownership and control over the whole territory cf the Union. When Southern blood arid Southern valor had won a rich and added it to the common territory, they appropriated it ail to their own use. and insisted on excluding the sons of the South from all participation in it, unless they would consent to occupy it upon terms of inequality. We demanded an equal participation in the common property. They refused to allow it. We then offered to divide it by a line giving them much the larger por tion. I hey tpurned the offer and by superior numbers in Congress attempted to drive us from every inch Qfjt. Nor was. this all, a portion of their number invaded the soil of a Southern sister State, and attempted to incite insurrection and rebellion, and with fire and sword, to spread devastation and ruin over the fair fields of our native South. A. powerful political party sympathizing with this outrage and even deifying the demons who perpetrated it, planting.itself upon u free soil platform, and adopting fcr its watchv/ord, Northern superior ity and Southern inequality, has trampled down our friends in the Northern States, proudly triumphed over us at the ballot box, and then taunted us v/ith its arrogance about Northern strength and Southern weakness. But one of the two aiternat’ves v/as left.. — We must cling to the Uniion, and become slaves in it, or we must sunder its ties and live, freemen out of it. We chose the latter, an 1 Seven gallant Southern States have refntmed the powers delegated tc the Federal Govern ment, which had been so wantonly abused by it. Sovereign and independent as each then was, they all met in Convention; and have formed a new Confederacy upon the basis of the old Constitution, making such modifica tions only, as the experience of three-quarters of a century had shown to be absolutely ne cessary, and such as might have preserved the olil Union pepetually, had they been incorpo rated into the old Constitution, and faithfully carried out in practice by the Government.— The wisdom of these changes is so apparent to all, that even our enemies arc obliged to ac knowledge the superiority of our statesmanship and sagacity. The revolution is complete I A new nation is born ! Civil and religious liberty are established 1 A government of equality exists! And a Statesman and warrior of splendid in tellectual powers, great prudence, commend able caution, and enlarged experience, who has won by his valor in the field, and his wis dom in the Sen: te, a reputation which has ex tended far beyond the limits of our continent, lias been called to watch over this infant giant in its tender years. Who is not proud to rally arbiind the flag of his country, when Jefferson Davis directs the sword, and presides over the Cabinet? But I must not forget that Georgia’s I greet statesman whose brilliant intellect, clear i head, pure heart, and eloquent tongue have excited for him the plaudits of millions of free men and the admiration of civilized man every where, occupies the second place in the Coun cils of the Confederate States. 1 might refer with pride, to the Cabinet, with the giant Georgia intellect at its bead, but I forbear.-r --\Vith the blessings of Heaven upon us, and, with such men as Davis, Stephens and Toombs at the helm, who can fear the result of the uoyage? But why are you soldiers ? Is it for the purpose cf invading the territory of the United States, or plundering their people’— No. We are not the aggressors. We tally onlv in defence of Southern homes, Southern fire-sides, and Southern altars, which arc threat ened with invasion and destruction. We de precate war. Bui if war is forced upon us, I we are prepared for it, and when once coininen -1 ced, we swear by out altars, it shall never ter minate till those who provoked it shall have ' been the greatest sufferers by it. In its prose cution, should we be compelled, in self-defence, to “carry the war into Africa,” and seize .the Federal Capital, or ev<n to devaste Northern cities, it will not be our fault. We have only asked to be permitted to depart in peace from th sc with whom we could no longer live in peace. In the language of Abram to Lott, we have said to our Northern brethren, Let there be no strife between us we pray thee. Is not the whole land before thee i if thou wilt take the kft hand, then we will go to the right, or jf thou depart to the right hand, then wc will go to the left. How have they responded to these peaceful overtures ? They deny our right either to de part ’n peace from them or to live as equals in peace v\ith them. They claim the right to ex ecute their laws wiihin our jurisdiction, to garrison our Forts with a black republican array, and to blockade our cities with a black republican navy. Nay, more, they threaten to vindicate this assumed right at the mouth of the cannon and the point cf the bayonet. — You have rallied, soldiers, to rneent them upon this ground, and if necessary to drive them back by force of arms. 1 You are not called, however, to meet- them upon the soil of Georgia, for wo arc proud to knots that no Federal troop desecrates her soil, and no Federal flag waves over any portion of her territory. Wc not only occtipy- our own forts and arse nals in Georgia, but by virtue of the moral power which sleeps in those stalwart arms of yours, you have enabled me, as your executive, to extort respect, for our State even from our enemies, and to compel the public officers of a great freescil State, who had plundered one cf your fellow-citizens, to make prompt restitu tion. We must not ferget, however, that some of our sister Confederate States are less fortunate, and that United States troops now occupy some o.f their strongest fortifications, while that Government threatens further reinforce ments. The cause of all the Confederate States is now opinion cause. W heu one is invaded all are invaded. It is for the common defence, therefore, that you have been called to arms, and most nobly have you responded to the calE Fifteen thousand other bravo volunteers, with, arms in their hands, will stand ready, at a moment’s warning, to ; . march to sustain you, and fifty thousand.more will respond whenever their services are needed. .Soldiers, you are novV soon to pass from my command, and leave for a time the territory of cur beloved old State. Would that I could accompany you, and share with vou your toils, and participate v,i.,h you in your glory I My whole soul is in this move ment, and my heart swells with emotions which I cannot utter, when I am obliged to bid you adieu, and return to my field ot labors else where. But you, in common with the people of Georgia, have assigned me other duties than those which you are now called to per form, and I must obey your belies., and dis charge them to the best of my ability. As I am not permitted, therefore, to gowitji you, I must commit to your hands, upon „ha field, the flag of Georgia, and the homor of Georgia. In yoiir custody 1 know that the orio will ever wave victorious, and the other will never be tarnished. While the eyes of a mil lion of persons in Georgia will be anxiously turned towards you, the prayers of our church es, our mothers, our wives, our daughters, and our sisters will constantly attend you. None will contemplate your defeat, but the hearts ot all will leap with joy at your success. Take, then, that flag in your hands, and re member that, in presence of this vast audience I here commit the honor of Georgia to your keeping-. Go, then, and may the God of battles go with you, and lead, protect and defend you, til! the last foot-print of the invader shall be ob literated from the soil of onr common country. BrnecT Trade with Charleston. — The fol lowing is an extract from a letter to a gentle man in this city, dpted— “Dundee, March 14, 1861. “tt 1 ..i now some time since I bad any commu nication, with’you but I have been watching the progress of events in the States in the hopo that in whatever Way they might terminate, it might be such as to encourage a good direct trade between this place and Charleston. As far as I can judge from the accounts which we have received in this country, there seems no prospect of a re-union between the South ern and Northern States, and if there has been any expectation of this entertained lately th6 passing of the new tariff must have effectually dispelled them. The goods, therefore which the Southern States have been in the habit of receiving byway of New York, must now be imported direct. I think I explained to you be fore, that almost all the goods sent to tho i States from this neighborhood, have been sent ion consignment to houses in New York, who j And their customers in the different States of J the Union; but as goods for tho Southern States cannot now be sent in this way, our manufacturers will naturally look for an out let in Charleston and in other Southern ports.’* n nen »i— in Representatives or members of North ern houses arrived in this city ou Saturday and Sunday to the number of twelve or fifteen.
