SUNDAY MORN’G, DEC. 16, 1860,
The Bill
—providing for an Agricultural and Geological
surrey of the State, and appointing a Chemist and
Geologist at a salary of £6,000 peT annum, we are
happy to learn passed the House Friday by a
handsome majority, and we sincerely hope it
may pass the Senate, and receive the Governor’s
sanction, of which latter there can be little doubt,
as this is one of the special recommendations ol
Gov. Brown in his Messages. It is really a most
important bill for the interests of the people.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are now annu
ally expended by our farmers and planters in
commercial fertilizers. Necessarily ter\ many
who use these fertilizers are unable to form any
correct estimate of their probable value, previous
to use. They have neither the means nor the
capacity to analyze them, and therefore purchase
blindly, aud often very injudiciously. No honest
manufacturer, importer or dealer will hesitate to
submit his fertilizers to a chetfiical test, and when
the test is made by a competent man, and a man
in whom the people have confidence, they will not
then be cither afraid to buy, or be willing to buy
at hap-hazard.
Besides, it is well known that Georgia is rich in
miuorals, many of which lie still in their primeval
bed, because the owuers of the land either know
Eotkiug of their existence, or are unacq minted
with their probable extent, the of getting
them, and the chances of making their working
profitable. Many acres of land have been sold
for a mere soug, because of the ignorance of the
original owners, which have become fortunes to
the better informed purchaser.
We conceive also that it is important aud de
sirable that farmers and planters have at least
some general idea of the, nature of their soil,
which can only be found out by actual experi
ment, frequently at great cost, or else by examina
tion by a competent and skilled Chemist and Ge
ologist. We do not think that a thorough analy
sis of soils is requisite, nor do we believe that chem
ical “science is so fir advanced as to enable even
the most skillful manipulator to state with accu
racy positive formulae, by which the cultivator
may be at all times guided. But a knowledge pf
the Geological formation on which either the soi
rests, or from which it was formed, by drift or
otherwise, is likely to prove of general and par
ticular advantage to the interests of the State and
people. While other States are making rapid ad
vances in skilful cultivation, and profitable farm
ing and planting, it becomes Georgia to look to it
that she does nt lag behind in the race.
Our correspondent writes that Dr. Joseph
Jones, Professor of Chemistry in the Medical
College of Georgia, at Augusta, and Chemist to
the Georgia Cotton Planter’s Association, is spo
ken of as the person likely to receive the appoint
ment under this bill, should it become a law. We
are truly glad to hear it—for a more competent,
laborious, skillful, painstaking man, cannot pro
bably be found in the State. Dr. Jones is yet
young, with most of his reputation to make, but
still he is already widely known as a most learned
and accomplished man and Chemist. He would
truly do the State service, if he will accept the
position.
Web ave received a copy of the circular, which
we give below, that has been sent, as we learn, to
a number of members of the Geuerfil Assembly.—
The idea is certainly a most important one, and
has, perhaps, not been considered by the Legisla
ture. The Convention will undoubtedly be the
most important one ever assembled in Georgia
since 1768, and it is most assuredh- desirable tlmt
our best men, Judges, Attorneys, and the most
trustworthy citizens of each county, should be
come delegates—many cf whom may possibly be
prevented from serving by the fact of having their
Courts to attend. Let the Courts stand over,
thou, so that the Convention may not only have
the services of such men, but that the members
may none of them be hurried in the important
business of their assembling, by having legal aud
udicial matters pressing on their time and atten
tion :
CIRCULAR.
On the 16th of January- the delegates of the
people of Georgia will assemble to determine
upon the time, mode and measure of resistance to
the aggressions made upon, or threatened to, her
rights.
Never were more momentcus interests commit
ted to anv assembly. The State should have the
services of tier ablest, most experienced and most
trusted citizens. Many of these, whose qualities,
moral and in to Uo ctual, indicate them as the very
men fa - the Convention, are connected with the
ordi lary administration of the laws, as Judge.
Counsellor, members of the Grand Inquests of
tk ir counties, Ac., Ac. In some, perhaps many,
instances, the sessions of the Courts with which
they are connected will coincide with that of tiie
Convention. Must the people lose the services of
such men in this their most solemn assembly ?
It has been suggested that the extraordinary state
of the times —the propriety of giving additional
solemnity to the sittings of the Convention, make
i; most desirable that the General Assembly
should, by joint resolution, express its will that
the sittings of all Courts should be suspended du
ring the session of the Convention.
It is hoped that these views will meet with your
approval, and that you will aid in giving them ef
tl'ect in the manner proposed, or in any other that
would be equally efficient.

meeting in Oglethorpe.
Lexington, Ga., Dec. loth, 1360.
The people of Oglethorpe who are opposed to
separate State action, convened this day at the
Court House ia Lexington, for the purpose of
nominating delegates to represent the county in
the approaching State Convention, when upon
motion of Dr. Z. P. Landrum, Mial Smith, Esq.,
was appointed Chairman, and 11. Kiunebiew, was
requested to act as Secretary.
Dr. Lamlrtim having staled the object of the
meeting, proceeded to address his fellow-citizens
upon the issues of the day, in his usually eloquent
and spirited manner, after which D. Mathews,
Esq., read the following resolutions, which were
adopted by a meeting of the citizens of Ogle
thorpe, on the 10th day of November, and pro
posed their re-adoption by this which
was agreed to unanimously :
Whereas There exists in this Government a pow
erful sectional party, bound together by “the
great, principle of antagonism to slavery,” based
upon the one idea of “irrepressible” hostility to
the institutions of the South, which lias made it
penal by the enactment of the State Legislatures
for a southern man to attempt to recover his fugi
tive slave under the Constitution and laws of this
Country, which has elevated to the highest office
in the Government a man representing the ultra
aggressive and revolutionary of his
party, and which must, in a few years, by the
multiplying of “tree labor” States, obtain the en
tire control of the Federal Government. There
fore,
Resolved, That the South ought not and will
not submit to the administration of Abraham Lin
coln.
Resolved, That we approve of the suggestion to
call a convention of the people of Georgia, to de
termine the policy of the State in the present per
ilous position of the country.
Resolved, That we believe the true policy of the
southern States, indeatified as they are in interest,
is Union* co-operation, and concert of action ; ami
we, therefore, recommend our Legislature, now in
session, to invite, by appropriate resolutions, all
the other southern States to meet Georgia in con
• vention, at an early day, to take counsel together
upon the State of the country, and to determine
upon line ot policy for the maiutainauce of their
rights.
Resolved, That we believe the States forming
this Confederacy, are co-equal and sovereign, and
as such, may rightfully resume their delegated
powers, and assume the position of independent
States, among the nations of the earth, whenever
such a course is necessary, in their judgment, for
their safety and houor ; and we will, therefore,
abide the will of Georgia, when fairly expressed
in her sovereign capacity, as to the mode and
measures of redress lor our present grievances.
Resolved, That we entertain sentiments of pro
found respect for those brave patriotic meu of the
North who stood tiruily by the Constitution and
the equality of the .States in the late Presidential
election, and who did all that true men could do
to roll back the tide of Abolitionism and fanati
cism to defeat Lincoln and save the country.
Upon motion of ZTTI. Clarke, Esq., the follow'-

Family Government—Filial Obedience.
A SERMON
Delivered, by. the Rev. Joseph R. Wilson, D. D.,
Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of
Augusta', on Sunday , December 9th, 1860.
1. Children, obey your parents In the Lord ; for till* Is right
2. Honor thy father and thy mother: which la the first com
mandment with promise; , , „ ,
3. That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long
on the earth. .... . ~ ...
4. And, ye father*, provoke not your children to wrath . but
bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters ac
cording to the flesh, with fear aud trembling, in singleness of
your heart, as unto Christ;
’ 6 Not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but as the servants
of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
7. With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to
! knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the
same shall he rec. ive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.—
EniESiANs vi. 1-8.
The most important institution on earth is that
of the family. If you were to desire a total dis
organization of society ; if you wished to render
all laws a nullity ; if you were bent upon destroy
ing the value of property ; if the madness of any
heart could resolve upon the attempt to bring
about anew era of universal barbarism—onlv one
thing would be necessary: abolish the family in
stitution. The parental” and filial relations pre
serve and strengthen all the looser relationships
of general society. And usually, in any commu
nity, the disorders of the family are the parent of
every other species of disorder.” Hence has it al
ways been the care of wise rulers to guard with
solicitude this fundamental and institu
tion-knowing that its ruin would"espeak the
ruin of the dearest interests of mankind.
But God ordained this institution, not only for
the general good of mankind, but also that it
might lie, in a particular manner, at the founda
tion of the church, and become one of His best
instruments for elevating the race to some proper
conceptions of the divine Fatherhood, and of an
eternal home beyond the skies. Accordingly He
teaches us in His word to praise Him for “ placiug
us in families”—and to praise him more for this
than for all the other acts of His providence. In
truth, the family is nothing less than the church
in miniature. When Joshua was drawing near
the close of his eventful life, he gathered all the
tribes of Israel together at Shechem, and informed
them that if they should be so mad as to fall
awny from the true God and merge their religion
in the idolatries of the heathen, he with his fam
ily would not follow them, but instead, would re
tire to their home and reconstruct the church
upon the family altar : “ As for me and my house,
ice will serve the Lord.” At first, when the church
was receiving its beginnings in the patriarchal
age, its ordinances were ali found within the fam
ily circle. The father was the priest to offer sac
rifice, and his wife and children and servants were
required to be obedient to his commands as the
minister of God. Even after the escape from
Egypt, when the organization of the chosen peo
ple as a nation took the plaeo of looser arrange
ments, each tribe, while it wandered in the de
sert, was regarded as one large family, governed
by a patriarch and controlled by religious influ
ences of which he was the centre. And subse
quently, under the more fixed dispensation which
followed the conquest, the whole of the people
taken together, constituted a state in which it
was a leading principle of government, at least
theoretically, that the judges and kings should ex
ercise authority as parents over a numerous and
dependent family. Indeed, the principle extends
itself beyond even sucli conceptions ot national
ity; aud both in the Old Testament and the New
are we taught that all mankind, covering the
globe with countless millions of human beings
who have never seen or known each other, bear
the relationship of “ kindred,” descended from
common parents, and never losing their essential
brotherhood in the lapse of time or in the changes
of history. Hence the Psalmist, standing upon
that spiritual elevation from which he could ex
actly trace these bonds of a united humanity, ad
dresses the world in the words : “ Give unto the
Lord, all ye kindreds of the people, the glory due
unto His uame.” And you remember with what
cure the Savior confirmed this view in his parable
of the Samaritan, wherein the truth shines as clear
as noonday, that the most distant Hindoo is as
much my brother as is my next door neighbor.
Everywhere—take what view you may of God’s
government over men—you discover the idea of
family union and family order and family con
cord, standiug out in front of every other—you
discover, in other words, that the whole earth is a
grand house, filled, or intended to be filled, with
the same glory of heavenly love and peace as is
seen in the individual household of some humble
Christian —that this smaller and lighter frame
work of society is the type or model of that larger
and heavier :—au idea “to be fully and blissfully
tealized when earth shall have given way to heav
en, and all the relationships of that divided fam
ily which was driven from Eden, shall be re
reconstructed in the brotherhood which Christ has
established for the saved and sanctified people
gathered home in the Father's house above.
But we must descend from these general views.
M > object is to fix the attention of the member
ship cf this church upon the duty of making the
families which they compose all that they should
tie under the gospel plan, which looks forward to
the day when household religion shall contribute
its essential proportion of influence in tilling the
world with the ordinances aud blessings of that
church of which the domestic institution is the
grand and indestructible pattern.
It appears that the family is, when properly
organized, composed of three leading elements.
At least it is then nearest its absolute perfection
when so constituted. These three elements are
noticed in the text. The most important is pa
rental authority as lodged in the love and wisdom
of “ father and mother.” The next in conse
quence is filial obedience, ns required of the de
pending and affectionate children. The third is
the relationship of servants, who are to be subject
to the head of the household as their master.
I propose to notice and discuss these three es
sential attributes of family order, in two or three
brief discourses.
I will begin with the duties and obligations
of children— as these are first referred to in ray
text.
The foremost duty of children is obedience.
“ Obey your parents.” The relationship is such
as to make father and mother the lawgivers of the
household, with only one principle of restriction
to control their authority. Their requirements
must not interfere with the law of God. The lim-
itaiion, therefore, “ Obey your parents in the
Lord,” is expressed, in order to prevent their ju
risdiction from passing over into abuse and wrong.
Filial obedience is, indeed, founded in nature, bn*,
it must be under the control of principles higher
than nature. It must always be checked and lim
ited by the higher and truer service which is due
to God. Ihe rolatiou which nil persons—however
they may stand related by blood or nflection—
bear to their Maker, is first in order, in dignity,
in importance, in results—is the first in perpetu
ity and blessedness. Children are therefore bound
to their Creator before they are bound to the mere
instruments of their creation. They are attached
by everlasting ties to the eternal Father, and all
other attachments must give way to this by the
force of every necessity of being and well-being.
The child must obey in all things, while the pa
rent confines bis commands within the limits of
the divine precepts. He is under obligations to
disobey the inferior, whenever a conflict shall arise
between the jurisdictions of the Father above and
the Father below. The family monarch has no
dominion over the conscience. The law of the
household must never interfere with the law of
the Bible. Whenever, therefore, childreu come to
the age of reflection, they are bound to do as they
are told bv those who gave them birth, with the
single limitation which the supremo will of Jeho
vah casts around the parental authority. Hut
obedience “in the Lord ” refers not alone to this
idea of limitation. It carries an explanation of
the true grounds of obedience. It conveys the
master-thought that all household service is found
ed on the will of God—that perfect obedience
springs not from fear, or from natural affection,
or from transient circumstances of life—but from
religion —and is then what it ought to be when it
refers to the Lord of the universe for its sanction
and its seal, and when it docs not go beyond his
sanction in any matter or break the seal of his pre
eminent authority. Or, as it is further explained :
“ Obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.”
The child is not to obey, because of the personal
character of the parent, nor because of his parent
al kindness, nor because it is expedient to do so,
all things considered. Such are not the sources
of his duty. All duty is grounded in what is
right, independently ot circumstances. It is right
to obey.
Hut how are children to reach such a concep
tion of their obligations? Their parents are to in
struct them in the superiority of God and in the
supremacy of His will, and that they govern in
the household simply because they have received
authority fro.n heaven so to do. This will ensure
prompt, intelligent, consistent, and finally, reli
gious obedience—will make everything peaceful
between parent and child.
Hut what, objects one—am I to obey my pa
rents, even though they be irreligious and unlov
ing? Yes— such is the teaching of Scripture,
which you are to learn at the mouth of God in his
word and church, if you do not learn it at home.
It is, I graut, hard to obey some parents. They
are unreasonable, passionate, cruel, exacting.
They are one thing to-day, another to-morrow.
They seem to have no fixqil rule of government
for their families but the ocnousrule of selfishness.
They are neglectful of every parental obligation
but the easy one of issuing commands and enforc
ing them by hard words or hard blows. It is very
diuicult to yield a prompt, cordial and untiring
obedience, to such fathers as bear the name, but
who have lost the affections of parents. But even
this is right. The obligation to obey lies beyond
even such considerations. It arises out of our
connection with a better and truer Father—even
Him who is the Father of us all. He has express
ed His will in the matter, in the very nature of
the relation between parents and children—a rela
tion which demands subordination under all cir
cumstances, except where the command is given
by the maddened head of the household to disobey
God. Then, so far as this command is concerned,
the relationship is broken up, and the child obeys
upon its peril.
This duty of obedience on the part of children
is so important as to be included m the brief sum
mary of the moral law given by God on Mount
Hinai. The same finger engraved it upon the
table of stone which had just a moment before
written above it: “ Thou shalthave no other gods
before me.” He was resolved to set forth the
filial relation in one of those ten commandments
which was to be forever the rule of life to all man
£'ud, easy to be remembered and universally to
be practiced —the foremost one, indeed, of those
five rules or Morality, which, following the state
ment of a five fold V K her obligation to Himself,
1 to be the enduring 0 f ,J 1 *ooiety
and of all wise legislation among the nations of
men for the preservation and improvement and
enjoymentjof society—the key-stone of the arch
which supports every portion of the structure of
human government. I say, the essential element
in this key-stone itself, is the command, “ Honor
thy father and thy mother.” Accordingly, any
flagrant breach of this command was, under the
Mosaic economy, punished with death, as being
the innermost kernel of high treason against the
state, and of schism in tne church. To rebel
against the lawful authority of the parent is to
rebel against God. No provocation on the pa
rent’s part is admitted as an excuse for dishonor
ing him or her by flagrant disobedience. The
head of the household carries the authority of
heaven : it is despised when he or she is despised;
and is, therefore, one of the highestcrimes against
both God and man which can be conceived—be
cause the daring hand which strikes the blow
here aims a stroke at divine supremacy, and at
the very life of society and religion.
But the extreme importance of filial obedience
is not only set forth in the command and its pen
alty. God would do more than lay the hand of
His authority upon the child in order to secure its
subordination to the parent. He would go far
ther than point out the awful consequences to all
concerned when the child shall rise up in rebellion
against the author of its being and take the law
into its own hand. The divine heart comes in to
the aid of the divine will. The heavenly Father
woos by a premise as w r ell as drives by a com
mand. He points to the blessedness of obedience
as containing an argument for it beyond the perils
of disobedience. “ Houor thy father and thy
mother (which is the first commandment with pro
mise) that it may be well with thee and thou mayest
live long on the earth.” The apostle says that this
is the first commandment with promise. He
does not mean that it is first in order. He rather
means: “this is the chief—the prinfC—command
ment ; the first in importance among those relat
ing to our social duties ; and it is so important
that it alqne has a specific promise annexed.” It
is, in fact, the only one of the whole ten which is
crowned with the attractions of a winning prom
ise :—probably for the reason that God foresaw
the extreme liability in the human heart to break
a commandment which depends, for its integrity,
more upon the affections of the soul than upon
its sense of authority ; —as well as for the addi
tional reason that the stupendous consequences
of obedience to it would be so easily overlooked
or disregarded amid the iusane desire of every
wilful child to assert and maintain a species of
domestic independence. He says: “ Obey, be
cause it is right —but, if you cannot appreciate the
righteousness of obedience, then obey because it
is your interest; it will contribute to your happi
ness ; it will be a capital element in the mainte
nance of a free and joyous and successful life.”
When this law was announced from Sinai, its up
holding promise ran : “ that thy days may be long
upon the land which the Lord thy Cod giveth thee.”
It had specific reference to prosperity and length
of days in the promised land which was so soon
to be given to the people for their inheritance in
Canaan. But the apostle takes it out of this par
ticular form and generalizes it. lie makes it a
promise, not confined to one laud or one people,
but intended to encourage and bless obedient
children everywhere. It is now a promise of
well-being in the broadest sense, as well as of
long life iu special cases. It carries the inspired
assurance of divine favor to every obedient child.
It sends into every well regulated household the
warm smile of the Father’s face who sees in fam
ily concord the image of heavenly peace, and of
earthly purity. It is a promise which says to the
faithful son and daughter, “Your obedience to
your parents is that obedience to me which in-
sures my benedictions forever.”
Now see what reflections flow from this short
discussion. One of them is terrible. It is to be
reßiembered that the command to obey parental
authority is a part of the moral law ; aud this
moral law God can never allow any oue to break
with impunity. It is this law which lays special
hold upon conscience and thunders wrath through
aud through every disobedient heart. It must be
kept, or certain destruction will ensue. The com
mand to “ honor” parents with a true and abiding
reverence, carries, therefore, as much of the thun
der of Sinai as does the command “thou shall not
kill,” or the command : “ Thou shall worship but
one God.” No power on earth—no power in hea
ven—is competent to change these command
ments; because they are all founded in the very
nature of right, ami spring directly from the ho
liness of God. It is, then, a terrible reflection,
that an everlasting condemnation necessarily
awaits those sons and daughters who have ceased
to give due honor to the controlling and restrain
ing authority of their father aud mother. You
may break a law of nature and escape— you may
cast yourself over a precipice and possibly sur
vive the mad deed—you may violate a ceremonial
law and obtain easy pardon—but you cannot come
off without bearing tlie penalty of eternal death,
whenever you transgress the moral law—for this
is a transgression which nothing can atone for
but- the blood of Christ.
1 see before me many sons, many daughters,
children who have not yet reached the years when
they may safely go out from the enclosures of pa
rental guardianship. Reflect—O in time reflect—
upon the awful obligations you are under to ob
serve the strictest rules of obedience to your pa
rents. Every time you disobey—every time you
wound a father’s heart or mar” a mother’s peace—
every time you cdst off the restraints of home and
give loose reins to your unallowed independence—
whenever the command to do this or that is set
aside for something else—whenever the parent
speaks to you in vain of your evil conduct, and
unsuccessfully eudeavors to direct your feet in
the paths of virtue—when he tells you to give up
that evil companion and you do not; or to cease
from nightly outstaying he knows not where, and
you give no heed; or to break away from some
enticing pleasure and von laugh at bis anxiety—
when in any one of a thousand he would
throw around you the guards of timely counsel,
or spur you with the goads of wise reproof, or lav
upon you the restraining band of strong and tjo.sL
tive authority, anu you lid yourself of them all,
by either bold disobedience or adroit evasion,—
remember that thereby you condemn your souls to
death, leaving yourselves no place iu which to
repent save the wailing abodes of the lost—unless
you fly to Jesus for the sprinkling of atoning
blood. Oh, what an awful reflection it is, that,
there arc so many disobedient children who have
never been conscience troubled for their disobedi
ence—many who have reached man’s estate and
arc themselves parents, whose repentings have
never been rightly kindled at the remornbraucc
of by-gone days of broken domestic laws, and
who are to this day carrying the burden of their
parents’ tears upon their undisturbed hearts.
Every groan wrung from the lips of abused fath
ers and mothers bus gone to the throne above to
plead for the untold punishment of the guilty
children who struck at their just authority ! Let
us all think of this.
2d. Another reflection arises out of this subject.
It has reference to the responsibility of parents,
and the various teachers of youth who have it in
their power to influence them for good or evil.
How many parents are caretul enough to school
their children in the knowledge of their duties
to those who are over them in authority ? What
father takes bis son aside and reminds bis con
science of the law which God imposes upon it in
the fifth commandment of the decalogue ; telling
him of its tremendous penalty when disobeyed;
or paintiug before him the blessedness of its’pro
mise, when faithfully kept? Or, if the father’s
instructions and the mother’s entreaties do bring
before the child the warning and wooing words ot
this neglected law, how many patents are them
selves ao scrupulously exact in keeping the other
commandments, as to set before that child the
spirit and temper which he should cultivate in
keeping the one in question !
Oh parents, as you love your own offspring,
neglect not tlie duty of leading them to riirlit views
of their duty to you. They would not disobey, if
you w r ere careful to guard them from the snare of
disobedience which their own ignorance or their
own passions, or which your remissuess, niav
lay for them. Take care that ye be not responsi
ble for their disregard to your own commands !
3d. Hut there ia a third and last reflection aris
ing out of this subject. I am not one of those
who believe that the days which have fallen upon
vs are the worst days of the world’s history. On
the contrary, it is susceptible of clear proof that
the world has, in late years, been rapidly pro
gressing along the line of a true prosperity. The
laws which govern life and property are better
defined —the materials of wealth and the advan
tages of education and the facilities for spreading
general knowledge, are more abundant—above
all, the truths and disciplines of Christianity are
more generally acknowledged and felt in their re
straining and converting influences, tliau ever be
fore. There are many evidences of the fact that
the earth is preparing herself for the glories of the
millenium dawn—that the church is with greater
earnestness of love getting her garments ready for
the celebration of her everlasting nuptials with
the Lord—and that events generally are hastening
ouward towards that day of final adjudication
when the renewed masses of men will sit down at
the right hand of God.
Hut still, there are many evils rife and rampant
iu society. Wickedness has become energetic in
proportion to the shortness of the time which re
mains for its evil works. Corruption of morals,
wherever existing, exhibits itself in all the forms
of opposition to holiness with a variety of appear
ance and an effrontery of face which leave noth
ing behind to be brought out hereafter. Religion
is at no loss to find her real enemies—so open and
industrious and so noisy are they. It does seem
as if, soon, tjie closing war between evil and good
is to be fought.
I believe, however, that one of the chief sources
of alarm and danger is to be found in the one well
known and formidable spirit which is everywhere
clothed with the armor of destruction—every
where, and especially in our own country. lai
lude to the spirit of domestic insubordination
which is so common and so marked. We are
greatly mistaken, iny friends, if we imagine that
the disunion of these States is the evil which we
have most to fear in these days of agitation and
distress. Political organization is not the greatest
good of man—nor is political disorganization his
greatest curse. There is good and there is evil
Ding deeper than these in the heart of society.—
The civil changes of a country are only indica
tions which point to causes operating at the
dations of rule and subjection.
We may be sure that all wrong begins where
a blow falls upon that moral taw which binds
us all alike to a higher throne than any
earthly one. That law has only two princi
ples, each of which is easily understood.—
The one is : the supremacy of God’s authority over
all His creatures ; the other is the divinely dele
gated rule of parental government, given into the
keeping of heads of fumilies and by them trans
ferred again, in part, to head of governments.
The violation of either of these brings confusion,
distress, ruin. Insubordination which kicks at
the control of the universal Father is attended by
disasters which may not fully appear in this
world - . But insubordination, which breaks loose
from family restraints, if it become general among
the youth of any people, must lead to the very
upheaval of society. The history of hell will dis
close the result of the first and higher species of
insubordination, the history of civil discord in a
civilized country reveals the evils of the second
and lower.
Now, I have long desired to see someone rais
ing his voice iu this land, to warn its Dopnlation
against the insubordination of their children and
youth in the matter of parental authority. Who
does not know that this has come to bo quite
general, iu a variety of forms? What penetrat
ing thinker has failed to observe that family order
is as much in the hands of an offspring which
seeks a premature independency, as it is in the
bands of fathers and mothers who are only joint
rulers with their children? I do not, indeed, af
firm that in this is found the secret of every mis
carriage in the experiment of free government.—
But I do not declare my conviction that our own
civil affairs turn more upon this aspect of society
than upon’any other hinge that can be named.
Our riots, our despite to law, our contempt of
religious restraints—while these majr be due iu
some degree to the geuius of our institutions,
which clothes every man with a sovereignty—are,
I think, mainly traceable to the fact that young
men go out from their homes with nothing of the
just strength of parental authority controlling
their will or bridling their passions. A son will
honor nothing who does not “honor his father and
mother.” And to dishonor them, directly or in
directly, is to fail of the promise of loDg life and
of life’s well-being in any shape or degree.
I will not further discuss these views. Take
them for what they are worth. Make them at
least seeds of reflection—O ye sons and daughters
of the land, and ye fathers and mothers, who are
responsible for their conduct to a greater or less
extent.
[communicated.]
The citizens who convened at the City Hall, on
the evening of the 10th inst., in a meeting, intend
ed to include all parties, but necessarily, on ac
count of the hour at which it was held, unat
tended by most of that large class of our citizens
who live out of town, passed resolutions binding
their candidates, if elected, to vote for the imme
diate secession of the Slate of Georgia. It is a
matter of surprise, that, after the passage of such
resolutions, so much time was consumed by the
meeting in selecting candidates, and that the
friends of prominent gentlemen should havo covet
ed the nomination for their favorites. W r heu the
duties of delegates, so instructed, were to be
purely ministerial, when discretion touching tho
all important question was denied them, the first
three men of common integrity, that one might
meet in the street, would have represented siich
constituents as well as the profoundest statesman.
The meeting, however, was at some trouble to se
lect nominees, and the choice of three well known
and most respectable gentlemen was the result.
These gentlemen can be personally objectionable
to few, and the writer hastens t® say that he is
not among the few. He thinks, however, that
the nomination, under the circumstances which
attend it, dees not represent a majority of the
people ot Richmond.
The nominees of the meeting stand bound to
secessiou before the 4th of March next. But se
cession is not the only expedient that tho times
admit, or may demand. The Convention of the
State of Georgia is called to consider all the ex
pedients which the heads aud hearts of her wise
men and patriots may suggest. But as far as
Richmond county is concerned, it has cut itself
oil from participation in all schemes but oDe,
though they be characterized by wisdom and
honor. Let the gentlemen now in nomination be
elected, let them go to the Convention and there
become convinced, that the interests and houor
of Georgia demand that she remain in the Union
till after the 4th of March. They cannot, without
betraying their constituents, vote for the scheme
which the interests and honor of Georgia would,
in that case demand. Tho Convention was called
to confer and deliberate, ns well as to vote. It
was intended, that the members of the Convention
should determine the best and most honorable
mode of resistance, iu this crisis of our affairs.
Had it been intended that the primary meetings
of tho people should decide this question, the
Stito Treasury would not have been burdened
with the pay anu mileage of the delegates at a
time when every rat is needed for other pur
poses. The Convention was called for conference,
touching “resistance;” but the nominees of the
recent meeting cannot confer. Had they been
left uninstructed, they might in their wisdom
have represented all parties and have satisfied
all. But now, how can they represent those who
believe, that God in his Providence will yet avert
disunion altogcth’ r, if we are true to ourselves ?
Those men have a strong hope and faith in bet
ter things than seces - ."can bring. They wish
the assembled wisdom and moderation of Georgia
to tc3t the grounds of their faith, and not until
the great council of the State shall have pronounced
that their faith aud hope cannot be realized con
sistently with tlnriionor ot Georgia, will they be
willing to relinquish them. How can they be rep
resented by gentlemen, who go to the Convention,
instructed to turn a deaf ear to all schemes save
one ?
There nre others, who have a strong faith even
vet in the sense of justico of tho people of the
North. They believe that the masses of the North
ern States liave had the misfortune, hitherto, even
more Ilian ourselves, to be led by demagogues,
whom they have followed blindly and thoughtless
ly ; and, that now, aroused by the excitement of
the Southern people, they will think and act for
themselves, and justlyo Such men (and there are
such among ns) are not afraid that their courage
will be impugned because they hesitate to make
war on their fellow-citizens. They believe that
charity hurts no cause aud is compatible with tho
truest courage.
If they liave been injured, they do not give
themselves up to uncompromising hatred, and
they are not unwilling to give their enemies room
for repentance. They know that at the North we
have friends, outnumbering, as the recent Presi
dential election has shown, all the voters of the
South united—-true friends, who have fought our
enemies in their strongholds. They are unwilling
to turn their backs upon these friends, and over
whelm them (if results are to be what some sup
pose they will be) in indiscriminate ruin with our
enemies. These true friends, (they hope) deriving
from this crisis in affairs, a moral power such as
they have never had before, may aid in obtaining
all we have ever demanded. Why then be so
thankless aud ungracious as so treat with con
tempt what they may offer of aid and comfort ?
How cau the present"caudidates for tho Conven
tion represent those who yet have hope in the
aroused elements of conservatism at the North,
when these candidates are instructed to disregard
any proposition not looking to immediate seces
sion, even though it should satisfy the most sensi
tive houor ?
There are others, who do not entertain tho ha
tred, which some secessionists do, for. the Union.
They believe that in the Union they have been as
prosperous as auy people could be. They believe
tha. we owe our prosperity to tho Union, and
they know thut we are indebted to it for all the
consideration we have abroad. They know, that,
united we nre strong, and they fear,"that, separa
ted we shall be weak. They fear further, that the
first act of a Southern Confederacy, its ports be-
ing blockaded, and it having no navy to open
them, would be to throw itself into the'arms of a
European power for protection—a thought most
repugnant, and wnich never entered their minds
till secessionists suggested it. They wish the
wise and honorable men of Georgia to determine
whether so great an evil may not be averted.—
How can the present nominees, with their narrow
instructions, represent such opinions and feelings ?
Thor# are are many among us who believe that
something is due to other Southern States, which
must bear the brunt of the troubles that follow
secession. If the seceding States are to be assail
ed by the Federal Government, would Georgia
have to bear the bitterest of the trouble? Would
South Carolina? By no means. Virginia, North
Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee stand between
us and the quarter whence comes the greatest
danger.
The Governor of Virginia has already declared
that no troops shall pass through her territory,
whatever position she may assume in this contest,
for the invasion of seceding States. All the bor
der States would assume this altitude. How our
courage dwindles down iu this respect,—when we
think of the strong bulwark of States, behind
which we shall shelter ourselves from u storm of our
own raising. llow disrespectful, how ungenerous
to bring troublo upon States that are ready to de
fend us and will defend us, come what may, with
out a word of counsel with them. Mauy believe
that these people, who would have more at stake
tliau we have, who would fight our battles in the
midst of their homes and families, while ours
were afar off, should have a voice in this matter.
Hundreds of the voters of Richmond county de
sire conference with the other Southern States.
The present nominees ore virtually forbidden to
confer with them. How can they represent the
county of Richmond ?
There are others in our midst, who do not for
get what a day may bring forth, who know that
changes for better or worse are taking place every
day, who wish to bo in a position to take advan
tage of any change, which may occur before the
meeting of the Convention. How can they be
represented by the preseut candidates, committed
as they are, to an unbending line of conduct?
To represent the people of Richmond county,
there should be another nomination.

beet medical advice, continued sorely to afflict me for six tedl

skin and bone. Medicine jmd physicians were abandoned in
despair. As an experiment, I concluded to try a single dose of
six of Brandetb’s Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty
stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed to arouse
ail the latent energies of my exhausted frame. I feared the
worst—their purgative eflect was different from anything I had
ever used or heard of. AtleDgththls effect ceased, and I arrm
