no violence to truth in modeatly
the distinction.
But war—the reproach of Christian civili
zation ; the the dcspoilcr of the noblest mon
ument* of human progress—has swept over
her mountain, and her plains, desolated her
citie* and her field., wasted her accumulated
wealth, destroyed the labor system whence it
sprung, immolated thousands of her strong
men and her brave youths, draped in mourn
ing her matrons and her maidens, and caused
the crest she cist wore so proudly, to droop
in temporary despondency. All honor to her
heroic dead, and sympathy immeasurable for
the gentler sex, who bedew
with the tears of aficction!
Theac deprcwing reflections are indalgetl
inno spirit of reproach or repining. Snch
mischievous pastime can heal no wonnds, re
pair no injures. I sketch Georgia as she was
and as the is, because, from her abject pres
ent her glorious past must be re-produced,
and excelled in the future. Thla day the
mighty work of re production begins. Its
incepliom-sofaras depends upon governmental
agen-ty, is devolved upon us; and it were well
that we look the Herculean task steadily in
theface.
I advert to the desolation that now broods
over our beloved Stale, for the further pur
pose of impressing upon a suffering and ex
pectant constituency, the peculiar embarrass
ment* that beset the service* they demand of
na Whilst they hope yet again to see “the
w ilderness and the solitary place made glad
for them, and the desert rejoice and blossom
as the rose,” let them remember tbat all this
is the work of time. Let them bear in mind,
moreover, that whilst it is tbednty of gov
ernment to protect and foster individual en
terprise, tint is itself the great reproductive
agent which must lay under contribution for
the general weal the forest and the axe, the
soil and the plough, the mine and the forge,
the waterfall and the loom, the locomotive
that annihilates space, and the steam that
hisses at the burthens with which men seek
to task its latent power.
Then, Senators and Representatives, fully
appreciating the difficulties that encompass
us, modestly estimating our ability to sur
mount them, relying upon the patient indul
gence and just judgment of a magnanimous
constituency, and, above all. trusting to a fa
voring Providence, let us earnestly address
ourselves to the work before us, nnappallcd
by its magnitude.
In the urief survey, appropriate to this oc
casion, of the field of operation upon which
wc are entering,_ we are I«1 to consider firtt
our tederal relations, and ueotuHt/ our home
interests. The Constitution of the United
States defines the former, and the Constitu
tion of tlie State of Georgia indicates our du
ty concerning the latter. In these two great
charters of liberty, -there is no inherent cause
of conflict. As according to Republican tlie-
oty all government is hut popular agency, so
these instruments construed together present
to the mind of the inquirer, a clear, satisfac
tory division between the governments they
severally institute, of all the powers necessary
to the public exigencies. Yet we arc admon
ished by history written in* blood, that con
flict has arisen in the past. Originating part-
ly > n the too ejgcr advocacy of abstract thco-
ncs, partly in the sectional jealousies and an
tagonisms, and'enlisting the evil passions of
humanity, it waxed fiercer and fiercer aa it
progressed in a series of yean, and culminated
in the attempted separation of some of the
American States from the remainder. Mem
ories of common sufferings and common tri
umphs, and anticipation of an exalted, desti-
S within the reach of a united, but tmattain-
le by a divided people, alike lo*t their pow
er over men's minds. The desire for triumph
in the strife thus engendered, on both sides,
speciously assumed the guise of patriotism,
and inspired men using a common Shibboleth
with mutual aversion. Five years since Rea-,
son abandoned, and the Sword assumed the
tliescal of oblivion! How the wager of bat
tle is over, and the award is against its aapar-
ties to the issue, our whole People have risen,
up, accepted ft as hy (he Will of one man.—
Wlmt valor failed to achieve, wisdom has
promptly renounced, anil truth herself basset
her signet to the attestation of the deed,
r .In the recent remodeling of their Constitu
tion, the people of Georgia have acknowl
edged the Constitution, constitutional laws,
and treaties of the United States, as their
niprme In>r. This means something more
than a yielding ofa contest, or an overture for
restoration. It nienus fidelity to tlie supreme
law in all future legislative, executive, and
judicial action, and in all future movements
of the People en matte. It implies a recogni
tion of duty to, and interest in the whole coun
try, ns well as to anil in the State of Georgia,
it is of course predicated upon a reciprocal
obligation on the part of those to whom till-
pledge is renewed The institution of sla
very, the fruitful source of discord in the
past, has been effectually eradicated from our
social and political systems. It can never
again disturb the harmony of -our national
deliberations, without which 'the Federal
Union must be a curse instead ot a blessing.
If the whole people, repressing all promptings
ol sectional feeling and interest, will faith
fully observe and obey the Federal Constitu
tion, coming events may lift the veil which
nflw rovers.recent demonstrations of Provi
dence, and disclose to their rectified vision,
in striking contrast, ruin caused by human
folly, and renovation wrought by Divine Wis
dom. After weeping that has endured
through a long night of civil strife, jov may
come in the morning of reunion.
Let not our people yield to discouragement
in view of the tardy progress of reconstruc
tion. or of the suspicion and distrust so pal
pably mauifested towards them. Sustained
by; conscious rectitude, let them maintain
with calm and resolute dignity the position
they have taken, and await the result. A tem
pest of unsurpassed fury has swept over our
land. The elements do not subside into their
normaiquiet instantaneously- with the lull of
the*wind, the sleep of the lightning and the
hti-li of the thunder. The smoke ofa hundred
battles does not vanish in a moment. But
the atmosphere will clear erelong; those who
CAnnot now see how men who recently fonght
with such desperation against the" United
States, can so soon become its leal citizens,
-will then look at us through a rectified me
dium. It will-occur to them that Valor and
Truth are twin sisters, bom of magnanimity,
whose womb never did. nor ever will con
ceive treachery. They will then remember

At this time I propose only a reference to
prominent points demanding attention, and
general principles which should govern our
action. And first, I present to yon a well
merited plea in behalf of the emancipated
African. Hitherto the faithful bondsman of *
the nee from whose personal dominion he
bas just been disenthralled, but upon whose
.benignity and justice he still depends for
protection and advancement, he stands before
you an object of peculiar interest.

immeasurably elevated above the cotempora
ry native of Africa, descended from the same
ancestry, he looks anxiously to his future,!
and feels that it is still measurably in the
hands of the proprietary race. It hs undeni
ably true, that during all the years of his
enslavement, be baa been marvclloudv quiet,
profoundly content with his condition. And
what shall be said of bis deportment during
the last half decade of sad memories I Whilst
your strong men were in the tented field, far
away from unprotected wives and children,
he cultivated their lands, tended their house
holds, and rendered all servile observances as
when surrounded by the usual controlling
agencies. And since the fiat of emancipation,
which he neither forced nor implored, al
though sometimes unsettled in his purposes,
and inconsistent in his service by contract
(the natural result of a transit-on s> sudden
and sp thorough), I take yen »H t> witness
that, in the main, his conduct nas Deen praise
worthy, beyond all rational expectation.—
Tell me not of instances of insubordination

that have transpired in certain localities, or
characterized particular individuals. These
arc exceptional eases, the general rule being
quite otherwise. Do our own race render
unvarying obedience to the mandates of law?
Arc onr own oflspring, through the years of
minority, always subordinate to parental au-
thority ? Shall, then, the less cultivated
African be held to a stricter accountability,
or be judged by a higher standard of moral
rectitude 1 Tel! me not the race is ungrate
ful. The assertion is against the - truth of
tradition and experience. I hero declare
that, in my- judgment, their fidelity in the
past, and their decorum under the distressing
influences of the present are without a parab
lei in history, and establish for them a strong
claim upon our favoring patronage. As the
governing class, individually and collective
ly, we owe them unbounded kindness, thor
ough protection, incentives, by moral sua
sion, by appeals to their interest, and bv just
legal restraint, to do right, that they may do
well. Their rights of person and property
should be made perfectly seenre—so secure
that they may realize their freedom and its
benefits; and of it they should be encouraged
and stimulated to make benefit. To thisend
the Courts must be opened to them, and thev
miist be allowed, in the assertion and defence
therein of their rights in civil and criminal
cases, the testimony of their own race. As
essential to their well being, they should be
guarded, on the one hand, against the crafty
machinations of the designing, and, on the
other, against the fatal delusion of social and
political equality.
If there be any pseudo-philanthropists who
arc inclined to infuse into their minds this-
unfriendly delusion, or to preuch to us the
duty of entering upon this leveling process,
lie* them open their mission by pointing to
examples. Assuredly, there is not one to be
found beneath the broad expanse of onrCon-
stitution. The necessity of subordination and
dependence should be riveted on their con
victions. Such degree of legal restraint as
may be requisite to this end, is enforced upon
form the high obligation! :

GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE PRES
BYTERIAN COTRCH.
The General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church of the (late) Confederate States—hav
ing been prevented by the condition of the
country from convening in Slay list—assent
bled in the Presbyterian Church in this city,
yesterday, the 14th inst., in pursuance ofthc
call of its officers.
The proceedings were opened with an im
pressive prayer by the Rev. John S. Wilson,
D. D., the Moderator of the last Assembly ;
at the conclusion of which the hymn—“Arm
of the Lord awake, awake”—was sung by
the choir. The 60th chapter of Isaiah was
then read by the Sloderator; after which
prayer was made by Rev. Dr. Geo. Howe, fol
lowed by the hymn—“Hail, mighty Jesus.”
The Rev. Dr. Wilson then took for his text
the 1st verse, 13th chapter of Joshua—“There
remametb much land to he possessed”-—and
proceeded in an eloquent and forcible manner
to address the members of the Assembly and
congregation present. He gave a history of
the present condition of the Presbyterian
Church, South, dcplqred the devastated state
of the Southern country, and the paucity of
means and laborers in proportion to the rich
fields spreati out for religious culture. He
also gave his reasons why this General As
sembly should endeavor to maintain an or
ganization separate and distinct from the
Presbyterian Church North. That a majori
ty of that church had no sympathy with the
Southern people, but stigmatized us ns the
greatest of sinners.
He also thought that the claims of our col
ored population upon tlic Church should not
be overlooked, but should receive the earnest
ntteiition of the Church! He hoped the
evangelization of our own people should be
first accomplished, though the demands of
foreign missions should not be ignored. The
religious wants of the Indians on our borders
should also command attention. These In
dians had generally cast in their lot with the
South, and like ourselves had suffered tho
same disappointment.
In the scarcity of young men to take the
places of those in the ministry who had gone
nnd were going, wc could look for no help
from the North; not one hundred ministers
reared in that atmosphere of fanaticism could
be found, who wouki'he ’ acceptable fo our
people.
The Reverend speaker closed with exhort
ation to the ministry to be zealous in their
labore for the advancement of Christ’s King
dom, and not let secular cares divide the at
tention which should be solely devoted to
the salvation of men.
The exercises were concluded with prayc r
and the singing of the hymn—“Zion’s King
shall reign victorious.”
After tlic benediction, the Assembly was
organized by thoModerator, Rev. JohnS.Wil-
son, D. D., who offered up aprayer for Divine
ddano! in. their deliberations.
The Permanent Clerk, from tlie Committee
on Commissions, thgn reported the following

The election of Stated Clerk was made the
order ofthc day for this morning.

of which the general buincse of the conven

When the assembly adjourned, with prayer
by Rev. F. A. Ross.
The sessions of the Assembly will probably
continue six or eight days, and there seems to
be bnt one mind upon the subject of perfect
ing their separate organization and proceed-'
ing with the work of the church upon the
old Presbyterian platform, holding that the
Church of God is a court of Christ, and need

through Arkansas and Slissonri, by the South
ern route. Referred to the Committee on the
Pacific Railroad, and ordered to be printed.
Sir. Wade introduced the following, which
was referred to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs.
Whereas, Ill a letter of instructions, dated
July 30th, 1862, directed to the General com
manding the French forces in Slexico, tlie
Emperor of the French indicated his policy
concerning tho affairs of this continent by de
claring it was lii3 intention to establish a
monarchy inSIexico, which would restore to
the Latin race on this side of the Atlantic all
their strength andprestige, guarantee securi
ty to the French West India colonies and
those of Spain, secure tlic interesta and es
tablish tho influence of France in tho center
of America, and prevent the people of the
U. S.,from taking possession of the Gulf of
Mexico from which they would com
mand tlie Antilles and South America, and
become the only dispensers of the products
of the Now World; nnd whoreas, in pursu
ance of said policy, an effort has been made
to establish a monarchy in Mexico contrary
to the wishes of tho people and to support
Slaximilian in his usurpation by European
soldiers; and whereas, among other acts
contrary to the spirit of the age and humanity,
tlic so-called Emperor of Slexico, by a decree
dated September 5th. 1865, practically rc-es-
tnblished slavery in his dominion, and, by a
decree dated October 3d, 1865, lias yiolatcd
the usage of civil law by denying to tlic
Slexican Republican troops, the rights of bc-
ligerents, and ordering their execution
wherever found within twenty-four hours af
ter their capture; therefore be it
llcmlrcd by the Semite and Ihnifr. of Ucpn ■
tentaticet of the United Statei, 1. That we con
template the present condition of affairs in

found solicitude. *
. ■ A That tlie attempt to subjugate one of
the Republican Governments of this cuhli-
iient by a foreign po.wer, nnd to establish on
ita ruins a monarchy, sustained solely byEuro-
pean bayonets, in opposed to tlie declared
policy of the United States Government, of
fensive to our people, and contrary to our in
stitutions.
8. That the President of the United States
he requested to take such steps concerning
this matter as wilt indicate tne recogniz.ed
policy, and protect the honor and interests of
our government.
On motion of Mr. Howard, the President
was requested to furnish the Senate with all
tlie correspondence in the possession of tlic
government .touching tlic occupation oi Mex
ico by the French troops.
Mr. Cowan submitted the following resolu
tion, which was objected to by Mr. Sumner,
and goes over under the rules:
Rcsolted, That the President of tlie United
States be, and he is hereby, requested to fur
nish to tlic Senate information of the state of
that portion of the Union lately in rebellion;
whether rebellion has been suppressed, and
the United States put again in possession of
the States in which it existed; whether the
United States Courts are restored, post offices
re-established nnd the revenues collected, and
also whether tlie people of those States have
reorganized their governments, and whether
they arc yielding obedience to the laws and
government of the United States.
Mr. Elliott introduced a bill declaring the
