The lateness of the hour at which the document reached us last evening will not admit of any criticism at our hands. A portion of the message appears a little ambiguous, and if there be one fault greater than another in the document, it is the sin of omission, not commission. Evils of magnitude exist, which must soonor or later be abolishe , but Gov. Johnson forbears suggesting any means for their abatement. The general tone of the m - sage is sufficiently hopeful to encour age our people to drop all ee ‘ g o tional animosity, and begin at once m good earnest to prepare our noble State lor the career of gigantic wealth and keepers. -One abounds in pearls, another in diamonds, mid another in all sorts of precious stones; and the dial, case and interior of each differ from that of each of the others.

The Governor speaks flatter ingly of thef present condition of the Western and Atlantio Railroad, and the energy and fidelity of its agents. The proposition of the Governor to take the control of this great railroad artery out of the hands of the Executive, and have a Commissioner appointed to man age it, who shall be elected by the peo ple, we consider a good one. The sug gestion is timely, and we trust will be acted upon by the Legislature. We ate sure our people will feel grati fied at the Governor’s eloquent allusion to that noble institution of learning, the State University—the pride of Geor gia. The appeal in behalf of the Uni versity should find a response in the heart of every well-wisher of our State, and we shall wait with no little anxiety to hear the action of the Legislature on this matter. The necessity for a change and modifi cation in many of the old State laws is pointed out. The Governor alludes m emphatic style to the pemicions habit of procrastination in administering justice in the Circuit_Courts. The Governor also strongly recom mends the restoring and beautifying of our State Capitol at Milledgeville, and where there is so much need of im provement no-doubt prompt action will be taken to carry out this most laudable suggestion. By far the most important section "of the message is the one advocating the passage of the Constitutional Amendment prohibiting involuntary servitude. The orompt ratification of this amend ment is now a nolens volens condition to our re-entrance into the Union, and in cheerfully complying with the desire of Government to have this matter Lilly and forever disposed of, will be found the which they need not pay an til it is known whet is drawn ana its value.

There are books on which the fata of nations has turned. How many revolutions have grown out of onr Bible—how many mar tyrdoms, crusades, bloody wars—aad not less commerce, arts, the planting of nations, and public and private greatness. There are books of dry chronicles that cannot be praised; there are books upon books that are weariness; there are worthless books that defraud us of onr time. Only genuine books, written from the life of the author, are tolerable. The poorest poem is better than the best criticism made npon it.
