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.

In it yon may find valuable aid. I commend it to your serious considera tion. 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. promise you, and through you, our no- over to the Lunatic Asylum the first money sissippi; Rev.

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 las’s slave, and of indecorum as a fn ndniaii I 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! : red a stays DKIiti uadi _ am about to as- rln jour appointed onfreration.

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 delegates as having appeared nnd been en- rtjfcrf:'- 1 ' 11 "T r STKOD OF ALABAMA. .
