While we considered him j cnce a report on tlic subject of the Southern emphatically the man for the place—peculiarly adapted to the discharge of its important dutim, with credit to himself and the State, the people have seen fit to place htm in the gubernatorial chair, and wc cheerfully invite the support of nil to his administration; the aid and encounocment of tlie people, in hi* efforts to promote their security and well being. TIIE ItEABON WIIV-LEG1SLATIVE ACTION I That it would be necessary for the people of the Southern States in order to secure an early restoration of their civil government, freedom from martial law, and a speedy asso ciation with their sister States, to honestly . accept the requirements of the national ad ministration, could not, for months post, have been doubted by any close observer of the policy of President Johnson. From time to time, as occasion offered, he announced the principles that would control his action to ward the State*. From the 1 commencement of bis administration he evinced a friendly spirit toward the Sooth, so ftr in advance of the stains of republican leaders, that it soon became apparent tbc true policy of tlic South would be to accept his views and support his administration. Wc cannot forget that it waa through his policy the rigors of military rule were greatly modified; that the work of wholesale con fiscation waa permanently suspended, and many estates returned to owners; tliat the operations of tlic freod men's bureau were cir- rnmacribcd to legitimate limits; that unre stricted trade was granted, and tlic collection of taxes in arrears suspended. These relaxa tions of the vcngfcancc vindictive and unscru pulous enemies would have visited upon ns, arc entirely due. to the magnanimity and firm ness of a single mail. Through him, also, and to the great chagrin of tbc radicals, was the question of the qualifications of electors left to the States. Tlic ism of negro snffrage wns crushed by him. And to-day wc find him liattling the hosts of radicalism, and ready to stand by his settled policy, despite the politi cal odds arrayed against it. Tlic interest of the South should have led to a cordial endorsement of the President, and the adoption ot his policy, to the letter. nave wc so acted, or are wc disposed so to act! The announcement 1ms keen made Unit the provisional governments of Mississippi, Ala bama and tlio Carolina*, are to lie continued TenneNcc, Arkansas and Louisiana arc con- tinuedon probation. And wliy 1 Tlic only antwri is—all tin--e States have failed to re spond to Hi. re - construction platform tender ed them. Wlu thcr the Georgia convention acted acceptably 1ms not been declared from Washington; init wo tear she, too, will lie “kept out iii the cold,” or, in other words, thsthrr |" >]>lc u ill continue under provisional and military rule, until such time as leg islative action shall placp the State erect side by side with the administration. Such arc the indications at present, and while all tlic friends -I civil law and order sincerely regret the p' -'iMUty of such a thing, they cannot -hut their eyes to the danger. Wc infer from the tone of the administra tion journals of the North, that the failure of the various State conventions to provide by constitutional provision, that the legislatures should adopt the amendment to the constitu tion of the United States, forever prohibiting -lavery in any of the States, is one cause of dissatisfaction at Washington. This is known to be one of the president's cherished ideas, lie desired the question forever put at rest by provision incorporated in the organic law of the nation. A prohibiting provision in u State constitution may be changed by the people of the State any time. The congres sional amendment oneo accepted, separate State action could not change it. Hie con sent of three-fourths of the Ststcs would be necessary. And another quest ion upon which the administration is licing rarely pressed, is that of the admission of negro testimony in the courts. This concession, too, may be asked of the Southern States. Tliis is mere speculation, it is tree, but we repeat, the indications ore tlwt what wc fear lor Georgia wilt be realized as it lias liccn by lu r -Irtcr StatK. But study her people and public men will take a comprehensive view of the situatibn. and act as becomes statesmen. Our leaders can certainly extricate the State Rom its present entanglement. They surely’ r-'iupri head th.a to remain under our present mixed n it ary and civil Christian Adcocate. The report recommends the sale of that paper to J. W. Burke & Co., of this city. The report was adopted. By the terms of the sale, J. W.

A communication was received from the Trinity Church (colored), Augusta, asking tjiat the titles to their church property be made over to said choreli. The communica tion also asks that the church he relieved from tlic charge of tlic Georgia Annual Con ference. The report was referred to the special com mittee on the colored population. Rev. A. M. Thigpen stated to the Confer ence, that, without any instruction on the subject, be would represent that tire colored cburck of Atlanta bad withdrawn from the Conference, and tliat their church property stood on tlic same footing as that in Augusta and Savnnnah, and if the wishes of the col ored churches of those two. cities should be respected, the colored church in Atlanta wns entitled to the same consideration.

A Nobthers Correspondent Begins to Discover tiie TnrTH.—The concspondents of the Northern pnpers, traveling in tlic Sooth, begin to liarc an inkling of the* truth at last. The New York Timet has a letter from Alabama, from which wc make the fol lowing excerpts: I will commence by telling you who are the most inclined to do right—they arc the ofiicers and soldiers who have fought in the armies of -, the late Confederate States. Two- thirds of them not only confess themselves whipped, but gracefully acknowledge that they have been fairly dealt with, and are pre pared to do anything honorable in return for the magnanimity displayed by the president of the United States and the majority of the Northern people, citizens and soldiers. They all talk alike—major generals, brigadier gen erals, colonels, captains and privates—all ac knowledge that they have been whipped, and whipped fairly, anil are to a man in favor of peace and an obliteration of the past. * A a + , .. - “Extremes lneft. While sticking to it tliat the most loyal men in Alabama, (and they form more than one-half the voters in the State,) are those who have fought the hardest, I must refer to another class, The blood-and- thundcr crowd. For, really, the most savage ly disloyal men in the State at. present, and those who wish the niggers were all dead, and the d—il Yankees all in h—1, are those composing the stay-at-home platoons. They area desperate set; They are in favor of fighting it out. They were in favor of fighting it out to the bitter end—at home. In fact these Wellington dc Boots, were in favor of everything—at home. These cowards have the impudence to tdl one-legged fellows and empty sleeves that it was d—d Jnonsense to give it up so soon. These muffin-faced shrimps want to know why Gen. Lee didn’t cross the 3Iis$iasippi and fight it out. It is these gander-legged mutton-heads who lisp “Wc were overpowered—the Yankees were too strong for us—they had too many Dutch men for us—we arc not whipped,"’ and the like. These are tlic men who are opposed to reconstruction. But they can do no harm- they lived on milk too, long."’ After all, these “blood-and-thundcr"" fel lows (of whom there are only two or three in a thousand left) arc perfectly harmless compared to those sneaking, prowling incen diaries, sent out by the radicals, who go about stirring up sedition among the negros, telling them they are entitled to a division of all the * CARD. Persons interested in the history of the late war, who have military or naval reports, orders and maps, places of campaigns, bat tles and scigcs, private letters from tbe army, congressional documents, nnd messages oi the president and governors of the Southern States, would confer a great favor, besides contributing somewhat to the vindication of the truth of history, by sending them to me nt this place.

S.—I nuist again appeal to my friends of the Southern press to give this card general circulation. P. W. A. Gen. Tilsox, the chief of the freedmen’s bureau in this State, recently delivered a speech to the negroes at Athens. An im mense number of them crowded near him.— He informed them that their expectations of having the lands in the South divided and apportioned amongst them is a fallacy. He explained to them that freedom did not mean idleness and vagrancy; that both were criminal acts, punishable by law, and that the bureau would require them to perform labor of some character, by which they conld make support. lie also informed them that insubordination would lie severely punished and insolence to and infringement on the rights of white people would not be permitted. The speech was filled with sound and sensi ble advice, and though the expressions dis- appointed (the negros) yet tliey quietly ae- j property in the South, exciting thorn against ccpted the definition of their status, and j their former masters and present employers, doubtless art sensibly in the matter. jy The Washington Constitutionalist has been informed by Col. 3rcPherson, the clerk of tbe house, “that lie docs not hesitate for a moment to say that liis path is simple and _ government, j c lcar; that he has neither the right nor desire ul nun the wnole people.
