A Great Need, Since the surrender by General Johnston of the army under his command, remarks the Augusta Constitutionalist, there has not been throughout all this Southern country, so far 3S -.ve are aware, a single organized attempt to resist the auibority of the United States. Ja this State of Georgia, at least, there has been no such attempt whatever, and in con templation of so sudden and entire an accep tance of the fate of war, we venture little in saving the South stands a notable exception in history to all other lands that have been anhappi y the prey of revolution. Elsewhere, when the main struggle ha# terminated, a scattering conflict has been carried on for months, and, sometimes years, before the flat of victory was entirely concurred in, but with us in one single day the last shot was fired the last drum beat, the| last flag waved. It pleased God to give the verdict agains l and no man has been so mad as to pro pose an appeal from that decision. Consid ering the fierceness, the devotion, the obsti nacy with which our people fought their bai t’s to the bitter end, and the unanimity with which the event of that conflict was received, one is led to notice a very remarkable com bination of qualities in the Southern charac tsr-a union of extreme impulsiveness and jiroDg common sense The ardor and im petuosity ot this peculiar temperament hur ried us into war and sustained us amid all the hardships and perils of four years of bat tle but as soon as that war was over the very opposite quality ot good common every day sense led every one to see that the only wise course was to accept Corporal Nym's excellent philosophy, that “things must be as they may." , , , ... The idea of a fresh revolution is something we utterly scout. Nothing under the hey* e s would ever produce such a cahmity swve an intolerable oppression that we will not tt.n for a moment suppose the Government would be guilty ot. Our people are settling down every Where, They are taking to the plough and the forge, the merchant s mart aud tne professional man's office, the toils ot the brain and the work ot the hands, on everv side. They are striving to forget old issues and seeking honestly and fairly to bring themsel.es into harmony with the 1 That they may be enabled to do so more effectually than Is now possible, there is one thing necessary above *llotbera—an exten sion of postal facilities Especially w Geor gia is this the case. With our larger towns and those intei mediate points lying on the main routes of travel, there la mall commu nication as ot old, but tbe great bu k of our people lie off from the railroads and can only be reached bv a resumption oi the lesser mail routes. At this particular time the anx iety of the public to know what is gmug on j, especially great, and yet we hear that, away from the towns, the prevalent iguorance as to the present position, prospects, and duty or the couutry, is something really dis tressing. The election of delegates lor our convention Is approaching, and the most intense interest will be felt hence forth in matters political until the State shall, in the way pointed out, have become fully rehabilitated as of yore. Then, too after the convention will come the election of a General Assembly and of a Congres sional delegation. Then Congress is to meet, aud before each and all of these bodies ques tions of the most vital importance will come up for discussion and settlement. In all these things our people have a deep aud abiding interest, and for their Bakes we would ra< st urgently lay this great need of postal rtaumpi ion before the proper author ities. Ignorauce is the parent of dissension, apprehension and disorder, and to remedy the present defective mail communication, which renders it a necessity for so many of our people, would redound as much to the good of the government as it would to the best interests ot this portion of the. country sub ject to its control. Georgia—'Hor Fast, Her Present aiwarcd, and Possible Future. A series of papers is now being publishes In the Now York Metropolitan Record, from which we select some interesting para graphs : GEORGIA AS A COLOST. When the young colonies outgrew their childhood, and resolved to manage their own affairs, irrespective of the wishes of their whilom guardian, Georgia marched under the banner ot freedom, and throwing off the shackles of'‘tue mad king,” came forth into the sunlight which, in 1781, dawn ed in new glory upon the young republic. Rich in all the vigor and spirit of sturdy life, she stepped to the side of her eider sis ter, Virginia, aud vied with her in the race to greater power and greater glory. With each succeeding year her strength grew aud her glory expanded. Age came, but she was more potent and more vigorous than la youth. The lapse of eighty years found her with another and a nobler name— the Empire State of the South. Then war came, and trod with bloody hoof upon her besom, and pierced bar heart with reeking swords, aud spread his horrors through the dwellings of her children. She struggled, and buckled the armor upon her sous und seut them forth to bleak the power of tbs enemy, but he was stronger than they. slave labor a 1752. But when,in 1752,the Government reverted to tbs Crown, the same general privileges that were previously, secured to the other colonies were extended -to Georgia, and thenceforward her prosperity grew apace.—» Under the system of slave tatag, the swamps and lowlands were brought under cultivation, and made so *|iyductive that bt ten yean from the time tfie system Was established, the exports bad increased from about three thousand pounds to fourteen thousand five hundred pounds sterling per annum, and the imports liom fourteen thousand to forty four thousands In 17a» the population was less than niue thousand, and in 1775, when the colony separated from the mother country. It numbered seventy-five thousand, an lu ciease ot eight hundred per cent, in twenty three years. But though her prosperity arose mainly lrom her connection with England, she did not hesitate to join her Northern sisters. When they declared their grievances too great to be mnger home. >v nauso* or twenty thousand 'white labor ers, of the clats usually- employed at the North, If scattered though upper Georgia, could, in a few years, make that region the most jmiAWdve and Inviting south -ol the rouxwc- Ttoe mineral Resources of tfee State are also of great value, and these can be jproperly developed only by white labonfl Gold has been found all along' the mountain line towards the Tennessee &Dd North olina border. Coal beds are also numerous in the same region, and immense deposits of iron ore are found in the counties watered by tbe Etowah. There is no more fertile or in viting region In any part of tbe South than that comprised within the counties of North ern Georgia, and no better field for the em ployment of capital and w bite labor. The negroes, it-eeems, will not work except un der a compulsory system, and therefore the people—the land owners—of Georgia, but especially those living in tbe northern coun ties, should Invite emigration from Europe., The class that coaid be in this way addea to the population, would, in a few years, be come very useful industrious aud conserva tive citizens. Such laborers are to be found for the asking in Ireland, England and Scot lord,and should be <&rouragea to make their home in a section that is comparatively new, and which offers attractions unsurpased in any other State of tbe Union. fora-ano*. if , Nine year* after the close of the Revolu tionary war, Georgia had" a population of 82,648, of whom 29,204 were slaves and 298, tree blacks. The decennial increase from 1800 to 1860 is shown in the following table: Census. | Whites. | tree Colored! | suites. | lolai. 1800 101,074 | 1,010 50,404 I 1810 | 145,414 ) 1.801 106,218 258,383 1820 | 180,504 , 1,707 140,050 ;340,433 1830 ; 204,800 I 2,484 217,531 1557,823 1840 1 407,005 1 2,763 280,904 |091,392 1850 | 521,572 | 2,931 381,082 | 906,181 1800. Free population, 015,336; slaves, 407,401 ; total, 1,182,787. i The value of slaves in 1850 was $210,538,- 634, and in 1860 about $275,000,000. In the former year there were 51,768 farms and plantations In the State, of which 14,578 were cotton, and eighty rice plantations. LOYALTY OF FLORIDIANS. We occasionally see something from some “penny-a-liner,” charging the want of “loy alty" upon Floridians. Loyalty means adherence and obedience to a government, with no hostile Intention or purpose against the same. We tieel assured that there are not three men to be found in all Florida, who enter tain the least hostile purpose towards the Federal Government. That a people should feel sore, when just emerged from a great struggle, in whioh they have lost millions ot property, and have had destroyed tlieir ideas of constitutional government' and of civil liberty, Is not a matter of surprise. But even while regrets over tbeir disasters may be felt and expressed, still hostile design or purpose, are not logical resu ts; nor are they indulged. To win back tbe love and the en thusiasm of a revolting people, when sub dued, requires time, and gentle, and gener ous dealings at tbe hand of tbe victor. Floridians fought gallantly while there was hope iu fight. That hope having been destroyed<rthey yield gracefully to tb*> force of circumetanoes; not meanly and cringing! y, “bendiug the supple hinges of the knee, that thrift may follow fawning,’” but proudly, as brave men yield, from the promptings oi true manhood, and a high sense of duty to them selves, to their State, and to the government under which they live. —JaekeotuiiUt (Fla.) Herald. Completion of the tables of the Depart ment of Aqmcclture. —The Department of Agriculture has just completed its tables, showing the condition of the crops on the Ist day of August, as reported by its corres pondents. At that time the harvest bad not been secured, but from tbe correspondence since then, it is believed that the wheat crop had not received additional injury, except ing, perhaps, in WiaiOisln aud Minnesota, where the rains have extended since the Ist of August. ANOTHER CIRCULAR ISSUED. Tbe depftrtmept has issued another circu lar, which will be returned on the Ist day of September, renewing Its Inquiries relative to tbe wheat aud other crops; also to the amount of old wheat in the country ; and when this circular shall be received, the in formation will be more definite and com plete, and it is believed that the deficit will not be less than is now reported. Tbe table formed on the August circulars show the following decrease of the crops ot 1865 lrom those of 1§64 : Crop of 1864, (bushels)...,. 160,695,823 Estimates for 1865, da.-..A ~..134,454,125 Decrease..!... 26,241,698 The loss is as follows : In tbe N.

The oat crop is very large, and the hay crop in the West is much injured by the wet weather, bu? is still abundant. The above is published by authority of Isaac Newton, Commissioner of tbe Depart ment of Agriculture, Scene in a Theatre— Exciting Scene.— Friday night, at Metropolitan Hal), a most extraordinaiy scene occurred, which illus trates veiy forcibly the utter lack of discre tion and common sense on the part ot some people la moments of emergency and peril. The performance had progressed to the clos ing farce, and the curtain was down, while the actors behind were changing their cos tumes—preparatory to their appearance in the last piece. The hall was crowded, and among the audience were a number of ladies. Suddenly one of the gas footlights flickered aud flashed up into a flame, igniting a play bill, it is said. In au instant some individual, who had, perhaps, been asleep and just waked, shouted ‘fire!’ from pne of the lower seats. The audience rose en masse, and swelling into the passage way a made a wild surge for the doors. The doorkeeper, ticket taker and his box of tickets were wafted into a corner like feathers, and out into the rotunda and portico rushed the crowd. The reporter ac knowledges, with no little mor'ifleution, that he was one among the first who leached the open air. Meanwhile, it would seem neither the manager, Mr. Gardner, nor the perform ers, were aware of wbat was going on, nor of the summary flight of the audience, until some of them came before the curtain and W#re astonished to find the hall nearly de serted. Several negroes in the gallery, frightened out of their senses, were about to dash their brains out on tbe bricks below, when order wae restored and the perturbed audience was seated. The performance pro gressed {pits cJoae without further interrup tion. Several persons wsre slightly injured by being crashed against various obstacles, and one lady had her skirt torn entirely from her person- We are of tbe candid opinion that the farce played by the audience on this occasion waa equal it not better than that pisyed by tbe troupe.— Bichmond Whig. ..

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 25, 1865. THE INDIANS. Gen. Sally's Expedition—The Sioux In din^— Their Various Bands und Xuu ber^ •The correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, accompanying Gen. Sully> expedition, writes unde’ date of July 23: I propose to speak of the Sioux nation, and to begin I would here say that there are but few in this nation who know what the word Sioux means. AmoDg themselves they are called Dakota, or La-ko-ta. The Indians on the west side of the Missouri river are called Te-tons, and are made up of the fol lowing bands : the Oealalla Dacotahs live in tbe vicinity of Fort Laramie, on the Platte river, and Lieut. G. K. Warren, Topographi cal Engineer, who explored this country in the years 1855-6-7 and 8 (now Major Gener al Waireu, of the volunteer array); computes their numbers at two thousand eight hundred and eighty. These I know but little about; they seldom come over to the Missouri river. Among the Indians they are called O-ke-da-ta. Immediately north of these, and on the head waters of the Rapid or Niobrara River, tbe White Earth and the Sbeyenne Rivers, are the Sans-arc tribe, and the Miui-Kanyes, who remain about tbe B ack Hills of Dakota, where they find buffalo, elk, black-tail deer, and big-horn or mountain sheep, in great abundance. The mountainous character of the country, together with the great amount of pine and other timber found here affords excellent shelter for game, as well as Indians The Brule or Se-chan-que Dakotas inhabit the country between the Niobrara and White Eanh Rivers, but frequently are found among other bands. The O-be-no-pa or Two Kettle Bind claim the country between the White Earth and Sheyenne Rivers. North of the Sheyenne River there are an unusual number of rivers and creek?, all of which rise in what is called the Bad Lands, and run into the Missouri River on the west 'side, every five or ten miles, until within a few mile's of the Yellowstone River. Tue most impoitant ot these streams are beginning at the lowest) the Moreau, Grand River, Ram part Creek, Cannon Ball |River, Heart Riv er, Big Knife River laud Little Missouri. Fort Rice is about eight miles above the mouth of the Cannon Ball River, and the couutry west of It had never been explored by white men until last, summer, when the expedition under Gen. Sully passed through from here to the Yellowstone River, crossing that river about fifty miles above its junction with tbe Missouri. Here is an area of about forty thousand square miles that is occupied by these Dakota Indians, and constitutes by far their most important hunting grounds. The most of it is claimed and occupied by the Uuka-pa-pa and Si-ha-sa-pa Dakotas. These and oilier bands roam over it during the summer, and find buffalo, elk, deer, an telope, mountain sheep, black and grizzly bears and three kinds ot wolves in countless numbers, especially the wolves and bus- faloes. On the east side of the Missouri river, and commencing next the settlements, sre the Yankions, numbering 2,300 persons. These are located on a reserve containing 40,000 acres, knd have some houses built by the government, and raise, when tbe season is favorable, considerable corn. Several at tempts have been made to educate some of them, but to very little puipose. They are peaceable and well behaved so long as there is a military garrison located near to watch them. Tne massacre by the Ih-Sauntee Dakotas in Minnesota, during the summer of 1862, resulted in removing all that baud from the State. The friendly portion, of them were located on an extensive reservation of land, laid out on the ceded ands bordering on the Indian lauds, near Fort Sully. There were about one thousand six hundred sent there, besides an equal number of Whine Dagos.— The balance ot the Ih-S*untees are in North east Dakota, and along the line separating our territories from the British possessions.- These are a source of great trouble. They are constantly supplied by British traders from the Red river of the North, and en couraged by them, to keep up the war. On the east side of the Missouri river—ex tending from Medicine Knoll river nine'miles below Fort Sully to Fort Berthdld—ls the country of the Yanklonais, the most power ful band of the Sioux nation. The lower portion of this band are quite Iriendly, and are called Unk-pa-te-las. The upper por tion are caUed Cut-Heads, and many of them are hostile, These ten bands consti tute tbe Sioux nation. They live in lodges made of buffalo and elk skins tanned and sewed together with sinews, and look some thing like a Sibley tent. The average num ber of persons to each lodge I think may be put down at seven, and the number of warriors is variously estimed at from one and a half to three for each lodge. From a careful examination, I am of the opinion that there are two warriors to every lodge. Taking this as a basis, the strength of the Dakota Indians will be us shown by the following table: No. of No. of No. of Name of Band Lodges. Souls.

[From tbe Hartford Tlme3, Aug. te.) On Sunday morning a young woman com mitted suicide by jumping from the Granite State and drowning, when the steamer was off Fort Schuyler, near New York. The body was recovered on Monday,on the shore opposite tbe place where she jumped off.— There is a mystery about her history, which remains unsolved.' It appears that she took passage for New Yotk on the Granite Stale at Hartford on Wednesday, came back again on Friday, and remained on board and went down again on the Granite State on Satur day. On her upward trip, on Friday, she gave her name as Spencer, and on the down ward trip, on Saturday,changed it to Bowen, and said she was traveling for herhealtb.snd belonged in Turkey Hills. Her unusual ap pearance attracted the attention of the cham bermaid, who found her out forward on tbe upper deck quite late in the evening, talking with two gentlemen,and when informed that it was time to close the ladies' cabin, she went i» with apparent reluctance. About 4 o’clock in the morning she was again dis covered by the chambermaid outside of the ladies’ cabin, aft. She had crawled through tbe window to the washroom. When inter rogated. she replied that it was close In the Cabin aud she was out to take fresh air.— Soon after this a New York pilot taken on board, and while Walking ait he heard a sudden splash, and looking astern discover ed wbat appeared to bim tbe form of a per son struggling in tbe water. On investiga tlou the woman couldn’t be found, but her Jockey and cloak and other portion# of her clothing wet# discovered on the boat- Her hair was cut short in tbe neck, and she had ‘quite large front teeth, was quite bouse and appeared to be in ill healt h.
