Tho Departure of (he Volunteer*.
[ Ou Sunday morning last, the ten com
panies comprising the Georgiu Regiment
which have .been rendezvoused at this
place, took up the line of march for Che-
haw, thence to proceed by Rail Ilaad to
Montgomery. 1 They were accompanied
by a large train-of 60 Baggage wagons,
and made a truly imposing appearance;
our streets and the Bridge were thronged
with the citizens who assembled to wit
ness the departure of the favored of Geoc-
iia’s sons; who so, nobly and speedily
tave responded to the call of their coun-
ry. To many the departure . wns an
Heeling one, as husbands; tons ami bro
thers, who have sacrificed some of tho
dearest interests, bfdife, wrong the final
parting.! Their enlistment is alone suffi
cient evidence of a fervent patriotism.

to confess iheir ntisluke, und avow lliul
the course of guvermneul was the wisest
that could tyve been taken. One oflhcm,
the Observer, of Saturday last, says;
“ The trrins of tho treaty are not quite
so favorable to Great Britain as were
offered by Mr. Gallatin in 1S27, and liad
our'proposal, made a few mouths ago,
liecn accepted, the conlrovccsy would
have been adjusted on quite as favorable
terms at that lime.
We agree with the National Intclli-
genccr-in the opinion that ‘the arrange-
incut will lie found to !>c a just and cqui-
table one, maintaining the honor and se
curing the essential rights of both parties;
and ttys is just what it ought to he.—.
Reasonable men in both countries will
approve it, and good men all over the
world will rejoice that war has been,
averted, and that the amicable relations
uf two great lending nations have been
preserved. Certainty it is a blessing of
Providence upon all mankind.* .
“ Nations will learn limp this result
that there is a more excellent way of run
ning tyres than with bayonets. , It has
been the motto af our government, from
Washington's administration downwards,
IQ ask nothing but what is. right, and ad
herence to thnl principle would save us
from the necessity ol submitting to that
which is wrong. The reference of this
vexed question to arbitrators'was declined
oh the ground tha) negotiation had not
been exhausted, and we now have the
pleasure of teeing that tbo matter is ad'
justed much earlier, and with far greater
prospect of. permanent satisfaction, than
rf it had hern loll to a third-party; to split
the difference In Such a way os to please
neither.’*',‘ 1 r ' "
