C|raruck & SentkL PUBLISHED DAILY AND WEEKLY, BY W. S. JONES. WEDN’SDAY MOKN’G, DEC. I*, 1860. Tlie Siate of tlie Country Is truly appalling and sorely troublous to every thoughtful patriot’s heart. Day by day the storm still rises—rises higher, and grows blacker. And still the blinded strife—still the blinding strife, goes on, over all this goodly land. The storm broods and waits, but it must burst, sooner or later. There is one relief—the fiercest storms are usually of shortest continuance. One of the sad dest things to us, in the whole history of the times, is that some of the best, the truest, the most honorable, the best-beloved patriot-citizens cannot, will not, see, and feel and know the full extent of the peril, and the real nature of allairs. They will persist in shutting their eyes to facts will persist in crying peace, peace, when it ought to be plaiu to all men that there can be no peace. No peace, except upon two conditions, both of which are in the hands of a Higher Power. The first condition to peace and the perpetuity of the Republic is a regeneration—a change of heart —of the Northern people, which shall forcibly in cline them to give us justice in all respects, and to let us alone absolutely. The second condition is that the Southern people shall have their hearts inclined by that same Power, .to have faith in Northern professions, to have confidence in the Northern people. We have heard a great deal about rights, wrongs, remedies—but all this talk is a mere delusion. Georgia, to-day, would not give a penny-whistle for the Fugitive Slave Law of iSoO, or all the fugitive slave laws Cougress eould pass. She cures absolutely nothing at all about tlie Personal Liberty Bills of the North, consider ed as a matter of interest ; for since the forma tion of the Government, she has not lost, in fugi tives, as much as she has lost on her cotton crop within ten days, by reason of the excitements of the times. Neither is it Lincoln that Georgia would resist—there is no degradation or dishonor to any of her sons, that Lincoln got a majority of the electoral vote, unless he got them by some act of ours. Our opposition is to the animus of the North, as exhibited in thepassage of Liberty Bills, and finally in the election of an irrepressible con flict representative, as the Chief Executive of these States. Another sad thing to observe is, that those who are determined on immediate secession have not the coolness, the capacity or the nerve to propose something after that. Wo must secede, it is said, but what then we are to do nobody knows, or at least nobody says. This is extremely foolish and more wicked than foolish. All sorts of business are going to wreck and ruin, because of the uncer tainty of the future. No statesmanship has ever been exhibited yet, so far as we know, by those who will dissolve the Union. Carolina considers it her policy to court a collision with the Federal authorities, for the purpose arousing the South from her slumbers. Never was greater mistake made. The Cotton States, or a majority of them, are already sufficiently uronsed—those who think differently do not know the people. Many are unwilling to trust the people—are opposed to waiting to hear from the grog-shops aud cross roads. Why? Because they believe the people have uot sufficient virtue and intelligence to do that which is best for their own interests. Per haps they may say nay, we are only afraid that demagogues may mislead the people. Well, all sorts of demagogues have their lair chance with the sovereigns, and if any set can beat the seces sionists, do they uot deserve to rule ? In any event the answer presupposes thnt the people are in capable of doiug what is best for them—incapable of self-government. Why not then set about some other plan of government ? We have endeavored carefully to note the pub lic sentiment of the North, since the election, and to form a correct judgment of the feeling there, as well as here. In the great city of New York there are four Conservative Journals, of limited circulation, the Express, (all honor to it for the past, the present, and our best wishes for the fu ture) the Journal of Commerce, News, aud Pay Pooh. The Tribune is as determined not to suc cumb as ever, but it has sense and philosophy enough to say that if Southern States wish to go out, the North has no interest in attempting to keep them in the Union. The Post is rabid, and the Independent, a religious paper, is the most ultra, fanatic and intolerant of the whole lot.— Webh, of the Courier iO Enquirer, is disposed to be conservative, und curses the Abolitionists.— The Times is also in favor of repealing the Per sorfkl Liberty bills, aud restoriug the Missouri line, extending it to the Pacific Ocean, and paying, out of the county treasuries, for all fugitives not r emanded. Weed of the Albany Journal first proposed this—but both are now backing down, seeing the feeling of their own people. Weed says the fugitive law of 1850 must first be made more acceptable to the North. The leading New- Euglund Republican press is against surrendering any thing to the threats of the South. In tlie Noyth-west the respectable Republican press is somewhat disposed to conciliation, though some of the most .infamous ot the party are in that re goin. The great mass of the Republican people every where, so far as we know or believe, the bone and body of the party that elected Lincoln, are op posed to surrendering the victory. They believe that they have got the judgment of the country against slavery, and they are, to a man, unuttera bly hostile to its extension to any of the Territo ries—hoping thus to extinguish it finally by peace able means. And the leaders of the party, even most conservative, seeing and knowing the sentiments of their constituents, are determined calmly to await the issue, satisfied that nothing can be accomplished. This being the state of facts North, how can we and they live together? Sure ly it is impossible, unless the great change pre viously spoken of shall take place. There seem but two courses for us to pursue. Still none should be unconditionally committed to any par’ ticular line of action. For the man who aspires ti> be a statesman, and claims to be governed al ways by abstract principle is a fool or a cheat.* Statesmen govern their policy by circumstances— by facts as they arise— and do the best they can in all cases. We have scarcely a doubt that the nullifying States of the North are already, dejure, out of the Union—no longer entitled to any of the privi leges of this Confederacy, because they have prov ed faithless to their obligations. They have no just right to elect a President, and we should be justified in holding on to the Government and driv ing them out. The only objection to this is, that it necessarily involves war j and war is to be avoid ed, wheu it can honorably be done. The only pleasureable aspect about such war is that it most begin in the Halls of Congress, by and among those who have bronght the troubles on us. Some say that this is unconstitutional, but those who suy it ure uot usually great sticklers for the Constitution. They, as well as we, may wisely prefer the other course (failing remedies, <kc.)because it promises, if prudently conducted, to avoid war—that is, to secede, to throw oIF the Government of the Uuiou. The first course is war certainly, the latter may not be. We do not doubt either the right to drive out faithless States, or to throw oft’any government which is oppres sive. The latter belongs to all people—aye, even to every individual—wheu oppression is intolera ble, and the oppressed has power to rebel success fully. The hederal Government, as now constructed, has no legal authority to coerce a State into re maining in the Union, for there are ito laws to that effect on the Statute Book. The reason is that this government is really no government at all—it has no power to enforce itself against its creators, and has existed for three-quarters of a century simply on sufferance—simply by acci dent—because the citizens, in an organized capaci ty , have never attempted to overthrow’ it. There may be war, it is true, between the North and the South, but there is no gooa for u nQr circumstance, except one, likely to to caua ', war. We do not propose to invade the Norm , if there be war, the North must invade us, be cause the government manifestly has neither power nor will to do it. Has the North this power and will? Certainly she has power to make war, but not a successful one, for no such people as we of the South has ever been s lbjugated. Know ing the war must be unsuccessful, the North has no will to make it, becuase there is nothing to be gained by it. There is this chance, however, that when tens of thousands of laborSrs are out of work, clamorous for bread,Jthe North may find it good policy, aye even a necessity, to arm these men and precipitate them on us. Before Spring great multitudes of men in the North will doubt less be in a state of revolt, and it might be money better spent to send them here as soldiers, at a cost of ten millions, than to feed them at home.— That is the only source of danger, as to war on us, as we believe —and we may possibly have a taste of the same state of things among ourselves perhaps. However, we may probably be able to feed cur unemployed without much trouble, till times arc Letter. Finally, then, look at things as they are, inform yourselves to the best of your opportunity, keep cool, and don’t commit yourself to anything rash ly and irrevocably. We feel bound to inform our readers as far as we can, and this is the best in formation and the best adxjce we can now give you. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst, work for what is in sight. What you can’t cure, you will, as sensible people, do all you can to make tolerable. OPINION OF THE: ATTOKNEY'GEN’Lt [official paper.] Attorney-General’s Office, 1 November 20, 1860. ) Sir : I have had the honor to receive your note of the 17th, and now reply to the grave questions therein propounded as fully as the time allowed me will permit. Within flicir respective? spheres of action the Federal Government and the Government of a State are both of them independent aud supreme, but each is utterly powerless beyon l the limits assigned to it by the Constitution. Ir Congress would attempt to change the law of descents, to make anew rule of personal succession, or to dis solve the family relations existing in any State, the act would be simply void ; but no more void than would be a State law to prevent the recapture of fugitives from labor, to forbid the carrying of the mails, or to stop the collection of duties on imports. The will of a State, whether expressed in its Constitution or laws, cannot, while it re mains in the Confederacy, absolve her people from the duty of obeying the just and constitu tional requirements of the Central Government. Nor can any act of the Central Government dis place the jurisdiction of a State, because the laws of the United States are supreme and binding only so far as they are passed in pursuance of the Constitution. Ido not say what might be effected by mere revolutionary force. I am speaking of legal and constitutional right. This is the view always taken by the Judiciary, aud so universally adopted that the statement of it may seem common-place. The Supreme Court of the United States has declared it in many cases, i need only refer you to the United Sta’tes vs. Booth, where the present ChiSf Justice, express ing the unanimous opinion of himself and ail his brethren, enunciated the doctrine in terms so clear aud full that any further demonstration of it can scarcely be required. The duty which these principles devolve not only upon every officer, but every citizen, is that which Mr. Jefierson expressed so comppndiouslv in his first inaugural, namely, to “support the State Governments in all their rights, as the most com petent administrations for their domestic concerns, and the surest bulwarks against anti-republican tendencies,’’combined with “ the preservation of the General Government, in its whole constitu tional vigor, as the sheet-anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad.” To the Chief Executive Magistrate of the Union is confided the solemn duty of seeing the laws faithfully executed. That he may be able to meet this duty with a power equal to its performace.he nominates his own subordinates and removes them at his pleasure. For the same reason, the laud and naval forces are under his orders as their commander-in-chief. But his power is to be used only iu the manner prescribed by the legis lative department. He cannot accomplish a legal purpose by illegal means, or break the laws him self to prevert them from beiugviolated by others. The acts of Cougress sometimes gives the Pre sident a broad discretion in the use of means by which they are to be executed, and sometimes limit his power so that he can exercice it only in a certain prescribed manner. Where the law di rects a thing to be done, without saying Low, that implies the power to use such means as may be necessary and proper to accomplish the “end of the Legislature. But, where the mode of performing a duty is pomted out by statute, that is the exclusive mode, and no other can be follow ed. The United States have no common law to f ill back upon when the written law is defective. If, therefore, an act of Congress declares that a certain thing shall be done by a particular officer, it cannot be done by a different officer. The agency which the law furnishes for its own execu tion must be used to the exclusion of all others.— For instance, the revenues of the United States are to be collected in a certain way, at certain es •■iblished ports and by a certain class of officers; J the President has no authority, under any circum ’ stances, to collect the same revenues at other ’ plrces, by a different sort of officers or in ways | not provided for. Even if the machinery furnish i ed by Congress for the collection of the duties should by any cause become so deranged or bro ken up that it could not be used, that it would not be a legal reason for substituting a different kind of machinery in its place. The law requires that all goods imported into the United States within certain collection districts shall be entered at the proper port, and the dutv thereon shall be received by the Collector appoint ed so” and resiling at that port. But the l'unc. tions of the Collector may be exercised anywhere at or withui the port. There is no law which confines him to the Custom House, or to any oth er parlienlur soot. If the Custom House were burnt down, h*. might remove to another build ing; if he were driven from the shore, he might go on board a vessel in the harbor. If he keeps within tiie port he is within the law. A port is a place to which merchandise is imported, und from whence it is exported. It is created bv law. It is not merely a harbor or haven, for it may be es tablished where there is nothing but an open roadstead, or on the shore of a navigable river, or at any other place where vessels may arrive and discharge or take in their cargoes. It com prehends the city or town which is occupied by the mariners, merchants and others who are en- gaged in the business of importing and exporting goods, navigating the ships, and furnishing them with provisions. It includes also so much of the water adiacent to the city as is usually occupied by vessels discharging or receiving tlieir cargos, or lying at anchor and waiting for that purpose. The first section of the Act of March !, 1833, authorized the President in a certain contingency to direct that the Custom House for any collec tion district be established and kept in any se cureplace within some port or harbor of such dis trict, cither upon laud or on hoard any vessel. 1 u ail y VCBSCI. But this provision was temporary, and expired at the end of the session of Congress next after wards. It conferred upon the Executive a right to remove the site of the Custom House, not merely to any secure place within the legally es tablished port of entry for the disirict—that right he had before—but it widened his authority so as to allow the removal of it to an yport or’harbor within the whole district. The enactment of that law and the limitation of it to a certain period of time now past, is not, therefore, an argument against the opinion above expressed that you can now, if necessary, order the duties tojbe collected on board a vessel inside of any established port of entry. Whether the first and fifth sections*of the Act of 1833, both of which were made temporary by the eighth section, should be re-enacted, is a question for the legislative department. Your right to take such measures as may seem to be necessary for the protection of the “public property is very clear. It results from the pro prietary rights of the Government, as owner of the forts, arsenals, magazines, dock-yards, navy yards, Custom Houses, public ships, and other property which the United States have bought, built and paid for. Besides, the Government of the United States is authorized by the Constitu tion (Art 1, Sec. 8,) to “exercise exclusive legis lation in all cases whatsoever * * over all places purchased by the e nsent of the Legisla ture of the State in which the same shall be, for the erection of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock-yards and other needful buildings.” It is believed that no important public building has been bought or erected on ground where the Leg islature of the State, in which it is, has not passed a law consenting to the purchase of it, and ceding the exclusive jurisdiction. The Government, then, is not only the owner of those buildings and grounds, but, by virtue of the supreme and para mount law, it regulates the action and punishes the offences of all who are within them. If anv one of an owner’s rights are plainer than another it is that of keeping exclusive possession and re pel'ing intrusion. The right of defending the public property includes also the right of re-cap ture after it has been unlawfully taken by anoth er. President Jefferson held “the opinion, and acted upon it, that he could order a military force to take possession of any land to which the United States had title, though they had never occupied it before, though a private party claimed and held it, and though it was not then needed nor pro posed to be used for any purpose connected with the operations of the Government. This may have been a stretch of Executive power, but the right of re-takiug public property In which the Government lias been carrying on its lawful busi ness, and from which its officers have been un lawfully thrust out, cannot well be doubted; and when it was exercised at Harper’s Ferry, in Octo ber, 1859, every one acknowledged the legal jus tice of it. I come now to the point in your letter which is probably of the greatest practical importance. By the Act of 1807, von may employ such parts of the laud and naval forces as you shall judge necessa ry for the purpose of causing the laws to be duly executed, in all cases where it is lawful to use the militia for the same purpose. By the Act of 1795, the militia may be called forth “whenever the laws of the United States shall be opposed or the exe cution thereof obstructed in any State by cornbi- V'*i>us too powerful to be suppressed by the or vest£n 9 f judicial proceedings, or by the upon the ira P OS , eB ciding whether the exigency n£ Mifohtjr of de quires the use of military force; and fn pT,, ,^ t re ‘ to the magnitude of that responsibility will be his care not to overstep the limits of his legal afnd ;iust authority. The laws referred to in the Act of 1795 are manifestly those which are administed by the judges and executed by the ministerial officers of the courts for the punishment of crime against the United States, lor the protection of rights claimed under the Federal Constitution and laws, and for the enforcement of such obligations as come within the cognizance of the Federal Judi ciary. To compel obedience to these laws, the courts have authority to punish all who obstrnct their regu’tr administration, and the Marshalls and their Deputies have the same power as|Sher iff sand their Deputies in the several States m ex ecuting the laws of the States. These are the or dinary means provided for the execution of the laws, and the whole spirit of our system is op posed to the employment of any other, except in cases of extreme necessity, arising out of great and unusual combinations against them. Their agency must continue to be used until their inca pacity to cope with the power opposed to them shall be plainly demonstrated. It is only upon clear evidence to that effect that a military force can be called into the field. Even then its opera- tions must be purely defensive. It can suppress only such combinations as are found directly op posing the laws aud obstructing the election thereof. It can do no more than what might and ought to be done by a civil posse, if a ctvu posse could be raised large enough to meet the same opposition. On such occasions, especially, the military power must be kept in strict subordina tion to the civil authority, since it is only in aid of the latter that the former can act at all.” But what if the feeling in any State against the United States should become so universal that the Federal officers themselves (including Judges, District Attorneys aud Marshals) would be reach ed by the same influence and resign their places? Os course the first step would be to appoint oth ers in their stead, if others could be got to serve. But, iu such event, it is more than probable that great difficulty would be found in filling the of fices. We can easily conceive how it might be come altogether impossible. We are, therefore, obliged to consider what can be done iu case we have no courts to issue judicial process and no min isterial officers to execute it. In that event troops would certainly be out of place, and their use wholly illegal. If they arc sent to aid the Courts and Marshals, there must be Courts and Marshals to be aided. Without the exercise of the func tions, which belong exclusively to the civil ser vice, the laws cannot be executed in any event, no matter what may be the physical strength which the Government has at its command. Un der such circumstances, to send a military force into any State with orders to act against the peo ple would be simply making war upon them. The existing laws put and keep the Federal Government strictly on the defensive. You Jean use force only to repel an assault on. the public property, and aid the courts in the performance of their duty. If the means given you to collect the revenue and execute the other laws be insufficient for that purpose, Congress may extend and make them more effectual to that end. If one of the States should declare her inde pendence, your action cannot depend upon the rightfuluess of the cause upon which such declara tion is based. Whether the retirement ot a State from the Union be the exercise of a right reserved in the Constitution or a revolutioary movement, it is certain that you have not in either case tlie authority to recognize her independence, or to absolve her from her Federal obligations. Con gress or the other States in Convention assembled, must take such measures as may be necessary and proper. In such an event I see no course for vou but to go straight onward in the path you nave hitherto trodden, that is, execute the laws to the extent of the defensive means placed in your liadds, and act generally upon the assumption that the present constitutional relations between the States and the Federal Government continue to exist, until anew order of things shall be sc tablished, either by law r or force. Whether Congress has the constitutional right to make war against one or more States, and re quire the Executive of the Federal Government to carry it on by means of force to be drawn from other States, is a question for Congress itself to consider. It must be admitted that no such pow er is expressly given ; nor are there any words in the Constitution which imply it. Among the powers enumerated in Art : cle I, Section 8, is that “to declare war, graut letters of marque and re prisal, and to make rules concerning captures on land and water.” This certainly means nothing more than the power to commence and carry on hostilities against the foreign enemies of the na tion. Another clause in the same Section gives 1 Congress the power “to provide for calling forth the militia,” and to use them within the limits of the State. But this power is so restricted by the words which immediately follow, that it can he exercised only for one of the fallowing purposes : 1. To execute the laws of the Union ; that is, to aid the Federal officers iu the performance of their regular duties. 2. To suppress insurrections against the States; but this is confined by Article IV., Sec. 4, to cases in which the State herself shall apply for assistance against her own people. 8. To repel the invasion of a State by enemies who come from abroad to assail her in her own territory. All these provisions are made to protect the States, not to authorize an attack by one part of the country upon another; to preserve their peace, and not to plunge them into civil war. Our forefathers do not seem to have thought that war was calculated “to form a more peilect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” There was undoubtedly a strong and universal convic tion among the men who framed and ratified the Constitution that military force would uot only be useless, but pernicious as a means of holding the States together. If it be true that war cannot be declared, nor a system of general hostilities carried on bv tlie Central Government against a State, then its seems to follow that an attempt to do so, would be ipso facto an expulsion of such State from the Union. Being treated as an alien and an enemy, she would be compelled to act accordingly. And if Congress shall break up the present Union by unconstitutionally putting strife and enmity anil armed hostility between different sections of the country, instead of the “domestic tranquility” which the Constitution was meant to insure, will not all the States be absolved from their Federal obligations? Is any portion of the people bound to contribute their money or their blood to carry on a contest like that? The right of the General Government to pre serve itself in its whole constitutional vigor by re pelling a direct and positive aggression upon its property or its otlicers cannot be denied. But this is a totally different thing from an offensive war to punish the people for the political mis deeds of their State Government, or to prevent a threatened violation of the Constitution, or to en force an acknowledgment that the Government of the United States is supreme. The States are col leagues of one another, and if some of them shall conquer the rest and hold them as subjugated provinces, it would totally destroy the whole the ory upon which they are now connected. If this view of the subject be as correct as I think it is, then the Union must utterly perish at the moment when Congress shall arm one part of the people against another for any purpose be yond that of merely protecting the” General Go vernment in the exercise of its proper constitu tional functions.

Pursuant to call, a portion of the citizens of Columbia comity assembled at Appling on Tues day the 4th December. Judge Wm. 11. Murray was called t<. the chair, and John E. Benton requested to act as secretary. I)r. Casey offered the following preamble and resolutions, which were carried, viz : Whereas, A crisis having arrived in our Govern mental affairs, presenting to the people of the slaveholding States the necessity of holding coun cil with each other as to the course of conduct they shall adopt for their own safety, we, a por tion of the citizens of Columbia county, irrespec tive of party, responsive to the call of” His Excel lency, Joseph E. Brown, have convened this dav at Appling for the purpose of couferring with one another, and to adopt preliminary measures to have our county represented in the State conven tion ; without further preumble, it is therefore : Resolved, That in our opinion ttie bare election of a man to office, elected, too, according to the prescribed forms of the Constitution, is not, a jus tifiable cause for secession. Resolved, That while we heartily deplore the election of Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Ham lin to the office of President Vice President and consider it only a disgrace to the office’ but to the nation ; yet we are disposed to go be hind the election, and to antedate our cause of complaint to the State enactments, which arc to be found on the statute books of several ofthefree States ; which unjust and odious laws are pre judicial to our interest, subversive of our equality in the Union, and are in direct conflict with the spirit and letter of the Constitution of the United States. Resolved, That in our judgment the convention should demand of those States which have passed these unconstitutional laws, a repeal of them ; and iti case of a refusal or non-compliance with’ our demands, then, and in that event, we strike for in dependence. On motion, the convention proceeded by ballot to nominate suitable delegates to represent this county in the State convention, the three receiv ing the largest number of votes to be declared the nominees. Upon couuting the ballots, it was found that Dr. Henry R. Casey, Dr. Wm. A. L. Collins, and Richard S. Neal received the largest vote, and were declared the nominees of this con vention. On motion, it was ordered that the proceedings of this convention be published in the papers of the city of Augusta, and in the Georgia Herald. The meeting then adjourned sine die. William H.

No medicine existed which could speedily, permanently, ef fectually and radically cure and expel these diseases from the system until Dr. Green made known his discovery of the OXY GENATED BITTERS. Such is its remarkable power and peculiarity, that cases which for years have baffled the most potent medicine and the highest professional skill, yield to this remedy as readily as if the disease were hut of a day’s standing. For all diseases of the Stomach and digestive organs, and for Genetal Debility it Is equally salutary and certain. [From W. A. Ilarp, Esq., Editor of the Covington (Ga.)

BT Fever and Ague, and all Fevers, are oured by perseverance with BRANDRETII’S PILLS, wldch takes all poisons, of whatever nature they may be, from the circulation. Mr. John Y. Haight, Supervisor of Newcastle, Westchester county, New York, says, Nov., 1858 : “ I was two years ago attacked with Fever and Ague, which, notwithstanding the best medical advice, continued sorely to afflict me for six tedi ous months; I became as yellow as saffron, and reduced to skin and bone. Medicine and physicians were abandoned In despair. As an experiment, I concluded to try a single dose of six of Brandeth’s Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed to arouse all the latent energies of my exhausted frame. I feared the worst—their purgative eflect was different from anything l bad ever used or heard of. At length this effect ceased, and I sec m ed lighter and breathed freer. That evening I was indeed ren sibly better aud slept soundly all night. The next day I fol lowed the same course, and continued to take the Pills in th Is way about three weeks, when I found myself entirely cutcd. My health has been surprisingly good ever since.” Price 25 cents per box.
