Thou art beautiful, Leola ! thou art very fair ; i’lio shades of midnight linger iu thy soft dark hair, While tby large, bright eye, of deepest, clearest blue, Has caught from the noonday’s sky its loveliest hue. When I hear the wild melody breathed iu thy song ; When the music of poesy dwells on thy tongue O tln-n I listen to thy soui-thrilling voice, And I know that the Muses have hailed thee their choice. Thou art nature’s true lover, thou art genius child : Then art a model of women, gentle and mild, Vet higher and purer than tale it or art. Is the light of truo Christian love, deep in tby heart. O what more can’st thou wish for ? Leola, the fair. While thy best friends are all near,to shield thee from care; While angels of peace guard thy bright happy hours, And thy young heart is fresh as the dew on the flowers. Sweet “bird of the South,” thou art all that I’d have, Thou hast beauty and youth, with a heart full of Love; There’s nought I could wish thee, but tliy own blight mind, Combined with the Has woman, the Christian, the friend !

Come view the bright spirits ’twixt the earth aud heaven ; ’Tis on a bright ciondlet the guests we behold— And the beautiful white cloud seems fringed with gold. O none but pure spirits are assembled there, Bright spirits of nature, of earth aud of air ; What festival is this in nature’s bright regions? What spirits are these ? their name must be legion. The Dame hath four daughters, pure, lovely and bright, '1 hue, fair as the dawn, one, dark as the night; And one ims been summoned-to visit the earth, To drive away wintry-winds, coldness and dearth. The fairest is chosen lo leave her bright sphere, Her mother, her sisters, to dwell with us here ; Her hair is bright golden, her eyes are soft blue, With a smile ami a tear she bids them adieu. Her garlaud is flowers, her sceptre a ray, Which she playfully snatched from the “God of the day,” And now she deeends on the rainbow’s bright wing ; O welcome, thrice Welcome, thou beautiful Spriii". '“enforced.” The reirwiuing provision —the ratification of tlie 15ih Amend ment—is a condition precedent to rep resentation m Congress. The Act does not make ihe Govern ment provisional. It gives to the Gov ernor no new powers butt he two I have named. It does not effect the election of Senators, or oilier past action, or laws, of the Legislature, except lo an nul the action relative lo the expulsion of colored memheis. It does not add to or take from the Governor or Legis lature, any power which they hold un der the State Constitution after this Act shall have been executed, hut both are remitted to their u3ual duties un der the State Constitution. The Act is not satisfactory to Gov ernor Bullock or his extreme partisans. The warning of the coining attempt at usurpation is given by Governor Bul lock in the public degradation of his office and the assumption of the title of Provisional Governor. They hope for some pretext of violence or disorder to supplement the Act of Congress with marshal law and the lest oath for all State officers. But failing iu t*'is, they expect to se cure unlimited power and exemption from responsibility to the people, by an unscrupulous majority of the Legist lature. Exclusions, bribery and threat* will each have their allotted work.— The democrats are to be reduced to a small majority. The white republi cans are relied on as willing instru the experiment of universal suffrage are incurable, because w e cai t ,oi com mand either the sympathy or u u ] n | ,j K “Free Slates.” The equivalent of the 15th Amendment is fixed upon us^ nay, more : the 15th Amendment leaves to the State the rLhi to pre scribe qualifications for office. Shall the Union with our consent remain an unequal Union ? If we cannot rise to the political equally ot our co-States shall we not bring them lo our level, so that all the States shall share the common burdens and blessings of the Government, and have a common in- teiest in correcting whatever evils may exist? If their are blessings in uni versal sofferuge, shall tlie Southern Slates monopolize them? If there are evils, shall we not adopt the only means iu our power to correct them ? Shall vve hereafter constimtue. the only land of promise—the political heaven, to which the disfranchised and discarded populations of twenty-six States shali eventually flee ? Situated as we arc,the 15th Amend ment cannot hurt us, hut would belter our condition by restoring tlie political equality of the Stales in the Union. Very Respectfully, Your Obedient Servant.

Nelson Tiff. To the Legislature, the Tress, and the People <if Georgia: There is ftriw but one issue of iir»- portunee in our State. The Governor and his eft-workers in iniquity', vs. the people of Georgia. Let us for tho time being, at least forget all minor differ ences, anti co-operate for our mutual protection. The Act of Congress “To piomote the reconstruction of the State of Geor gia,” bad as it is, was stripped of its worst features—the “Iron Clad” oaR* for the Legislature—a test ontli fo r all State Officers, a provisional ment for the State, and the “niilitia” and “armed forces of the Lnixed Slate, placed at the disposal of the Governor —in the Senate Judiciary Committee. The scope and meaning of the act as finally adopted is, that the government of the' United States takes violent pos session of “the State of Georgia,” and makes use of ibe Governor ot the State of Georgia” as their willing instru ment : , , 1st. By “protdamalion lo summon all persons elected to the General As sembly of said Siate, as appears by ihe proclamation” of General Meade, to appear on same day certain at Atlan ta .* ; ' 2d. To apply f (, r United Slates forc es to be employed by the President, if nec essary, lo enforce and execute the pro visions of the first six sections ol the Acl. These are the sole duties en trusted to ihe Governor by the Act- The “said General Assembly” is charged with the remaining provisions of the Act—the application of a test oath lo the members under pretence of enforcing the 14l!i Amendment of the Constitution—reorganization of the two Houses, and prohibition of exclusion of colored members—these are be rifice of the honor anti the rights ofthi people, they are lo he whipped in or pilloried by the loyal Governor as un repentant rebels and traitors lo the par ty. The colored members are expect ed to leave behind them tber common sense and all personal responsibility for their position, and lie the unques tioning tools to do the dishonest and dirty work of the faction. With such a programme—confident ofsuccess—the slanderers ofour peo ple, the plunderers of our State, the traitors to constitutional liberty, gloat over the misibrtui.es of those whom they tleern to be already in their [low er, and pollute the air with their rev els in the anticipation oflhe consum motion ot their devilish designs. But as a just God lives and reigns over all, this scheme of iniquity will not succeed. The Georgians, tlie men who will form the remnant of the Leg islature—democrats and republicans— white and black—will remember that the fate of Georgia is temporarily in their keeping; that the eves of the people are upon them ; and tha> the faithful discharge of their duties, be sides the reward of a good conscience, will bring upon them the approval and blessing of a generous and grateful peo ple. And they will remember too, that, the betrayal of their trust, by unit ing with the enemies of the people for the destruction of their rights and lib erties, will make them infamous in the sight of all good men, and will bring upon them the just retribution which, sooner or later, follows tyranny, op pression and crime. My opinion of the duties of the Legislature, looking lo the best in terests of Georgia, is, that every. . member elect who can honestly take j sl< JL_ unl1 . semt)r has dineu. tlie oath prescribed, should do so, aid I . bsmations maoe by Mr. Moffat, in the reorganization of the Lctiislature, | ,! ! < - M,nt, iiL,aiio;i «f bis account of the and otherwise comply literally with j n, S lu already mentioned, agree the act of Congress, lnciudinglhe adop- tire ground, with as much ease as eat would carry a mouse, leaping with out any difficult across a ditch, with his load in his mouth. Ofien they will curry off'a -heifer without letting her feet touch the ground, any more than a mouse’s feet do when the cat carries him. Leonine laic—respect for age and pow er. How do these lions manage to share the plunder, in their expeditions so of ten made in common? With a certaiu degree of equity, one is compelled to think, since the habits of association continue. When an old male conducts tlie band, as he reserves to himself the chief part oflhe work, he gives to the others his leavings; and if lids is not charitable, it is just. This is the way in which the affair is managed, us de scribed by a native: “When several lions together come upon some game, the oldest of ihe troop crawls toward the game, whilst the others lie down quietlv on the grass. If he succeeds in becoming master as lie usually does, he leaves Lis victim aud retires for a quarter of an hour or so to take breath; during this lime the other lions approach and lie down at i respectful distance.. When the chief) has finished his repose, he begins an | attack on rc »! cuts «j their early struggles for ocm V'1S |C > ' !1 their unex- tho ‘Njieirnbandonmentof ,lf?“ CU ' !”"!>■ ' v, \cl. raise,) them l ,f nvc , is similar u ri r<T ree that wouhksuggest that iK f g . .i - Gb 11,1,1 ll V fates worked same un cut theK^lestiny under t happy aus f ;^ es .

But the writer of the note was Junius, which Tilghmati could not have been because, among a thou sand other reasons, the Junius letters began before his arrival in England and continued after his return to Amer ica. It follows, therefore, that Fran cis was the writer; and thus, after the secret has been kept an impenetrable mystery lor just a century, a trivial accident has fed to its discovery and lo the absolute demonstration Francis was Junius. We may thm we have ourselves compared the fac similes 'of the note with those of the feigned hand of Junius, and that of the vc numerous «ontomporaneous Tiigbman now in the posses- relations in this eft)’, and we the opinion ol the London ex there cannot be a doubt of tin in cither case—LippincoiCs Aj The “ Lost Tribes”—One of i and affected the spirit that gave birth and vitality to the Fugitive Slave- Law. Both these cx-Presidents were horn in the most humble positions possible in American society; both struggled into eminence through the severest sac rifices and by indomitable energy. Both could, and can, remember the bitterness of their own early life; and yet, both apparently forgot, while Presidents, to sympathise with the poor and enslaved toili r- But litis si range parallel does not end here; for, while Andy Johnson, as a boy, was working upon tin- bench as an apprentice to a tailor, Millard Kill- more, somewhat older in years in the western wilds of New York, was sweat ing over the mechanical operation of dressing cloth, which could be fashion ed into garments fry the art which Au- irew Johnson was (earning in ihe then desolate regions of Tennessee.

It would give'confidence'in the validity of our laws, provide full representation in our Legislature, and secure the State a- gainsl further plunder. The good people of our Stale, whilst they will maintain peace and order with the firm and qu.ici dignity which has characterized them, will not be idle spectators of the coming crisis. They will see tlieir representatives in the Legislature, and impress upon them the resposibility and importance of their present position. They will send their wise and good men to Atlanta lo to hold up the hands of their faithful representatives and cheer them on in the good work of State .redemption. As my opinion on the subject of the 15lh Amendment have been referred to, and perhaps misunderstood, I give them briefly and frankly. It that a- mendment of the Constitution were proposed to Georgia as a free and equal State in the Union, 1 would oppose it as a surrender of an important e'ement of State sovereignty and Stale protec tion. But a majority of the Slates have fixed upon the Southern States the brand of inferiority. They have been deprived of the control of tlie t leelive franchise, whilst the Northern and Western States retain. Wc are now parlies to an unequal union—they are the superior* wc the inferior members ; and so ffing as this inequality exists, whatever evils may be developed in entirely with the above singular state ment. Evidences of shame and ambition in a lion —instruction, by an old Hon. Tlie same native, saw onn day a lion creeping towards lire stump of a tree of a blackish color and not unlike a humon form When the animal hat) approached within about twenty five yards, he sprang forward, and missed his mark by a foot or two—Avbiefi ap peared lo mortify him very much. After smelling the object and discover ing his mistake, he returned, all j ashamed, ifr his starting point, made another leap, with no more success— began again—and at last, at the fourth attempt, succeeded In putting his paw on the imaginsrv prey. Then satisfied with himself, he went away. Another Hottentot relates that a troop of zebras was going along a straight path leading to the margin of a precipice. A fine stallion formed the rearguard; when-suddenly, from a rock ten or twelve feet high, a lion tprung at tlie stallion and missed him. The path wound round the roc ft j and the lion comprehended that if he could scale it at a single bound, a second spring would bring him on lo tlie back of his victim. He made the attempt, Rut could only get sufficiently high to see the zebra galloping away, beating the air with his tail. He then made a secon 1 leap—and a third—until hfl succeeded. During this time two oth er lions had arrived, and chatting to gether after lher .i fashion, the oid lion made them tasc aLuru roung the rock; then, leading them lo the starting point, he mrde the leap 'once more in their presence to show them what must be done in future on a like oceasion, ‘They were evidently talking together’ said tlie African, “but be ng «» a vefjf low tune of voice 1 c«uW not hear a word of tlieir conversation,--and fear ing they might discover me, ami lake a fancy to exerdfse their art at my ex pense^ silently retired, leaving them in the uridst of their deliberations.” “M.

The Identity of Junius cud Sir Phi/Hp Francis Fully Established. The conclusive proof ofthe identity of Francis and Junius is as follows: Upon the publication of the fac similes of the famous “feigned hand” of Junius, a Mrs. King (nee Giles), of Youngbury in Essex, at one recogniz-’d iL as the handwriting of an nnouyrnons note which she had received in 177p, at Bath, with a copy of verses enclos ed, written in a different and unknown baud. From various circumstances sire had always believed and stated that ibis note came from Philip Fran cis; but as the evidence on that was not satisfactory, the st >ry attracted t)o great attention. Upon the publics tioa oflhe “Lite of Sir Phillip Francis” about two years ago, however, two lines of the verses m question were found quoted in a letter from Richard Tilghmati of Philadelphia (elder broth er of the late Chief Justice Tilghmati), to Francis, dated September 29, 1773| in a manner pianily implying tkf 1 Francis would recognize them, f - ,,s led to a renewed examination l)i original papers, wiien it w;‘ s that the copy ot verses w»? 111 -J '^gh- ■uat.’s handwriting!
