A correspondent of the Memphis Appeal, in the course of a well written letter, dia- : eotirsee a-* follows on the mission of the ; ' The press of tl»e South has a pi'eat re- U'. lilitv ting upon it at this time. ]f eve; Uieirc was a period in the history of the .-wur.trv when it moulded public opin i i. :hat period is the present. The peo i.ie. whatever ma> bo their iralitical opin >oi . look to the press of the country for adviee as well as information. This is the d.ue in which it 'can do incalculable good fny the cause of civilization and humanity. tVietl. oi. moderation and kindness should | ;ii-:k ;t® course. Denunciation and vitu peration cannot do good to any cause. I rennet -e<> so much vituperation in some ! of the Southern press against individuals. ! It cannot do any goed. hut rt-ally docs s hr- in. A candid mind, though it may dis ! fer from a writer, can read his productions V ::h pleasure when he discusses subjects ! with candor, dignity and moderation, and does not descend from the consideration ot measures to the denunciation of individu » • v>ut vituperation and bitter aspersions a7: disgusting, and always damage bun v ho deals in tiiem more than they do his ' aiversaiy.” There is much force in these suggestions. The Southern press, which, so long as we aro denied official representation in Con -geess. is well nigh the only organ and rep r tentative of Southern opinion, should 1 exercise great caution and .forbearance i . .. T.d daily and hourly combat those na t-.rai Impulses which prompt poorhumani j to return reviling and slander in the . u -. e - coin— more mrticularlv those sweep j i.e.: and Lroadcji-t renunciations which, relieved of all the mollifying influences of j I articular offense shown, and a discrim inating«cnsure, are calculated to widen the j breach so unhappily existing between the eifi’en-nt sections of the country. It is not in human nature when a sectional politi- ; cum stands up in Congress, in triumphant l alive, to defame the Southern people; or a Northern radical newspaper vent* its j fanaticism in studied vituperation of the ; •South, in the dissimination of falsehoods j and the perversion of facts —to remain ; silent. Nor should wc do so. It is a duty ! the press owes to tho South and the country, to maintain the truth and to de fend the honor and reputation of the South ern jx*oplo. But such vindication should not take the shape of retaliatory accusation of the Northern people as a people. It is enough for the purposes of truth and justice that wc coniine our animadversion to the charges made and the particular source from which they emanate. Bet the gener al toue of the Southern press'towards the North, as a section, and the Northern peo ple, as a community, be marked with as much forbearance and conciliation as the orovocations and*irritations of this unhap py crisis will admit. One pojiit more in this connection : The .-Yu lhcrn people themselves are not yet fully up to all the results of the great social revolution which lues been forced upon us. Old usages and old habits of thought cling to us all. Bet the Southern press, then, combat those old habits anu associations, first in itself and then in the public mind. Wiiii a wise and prudent forecast let us re cognize this change in all its legitimate ami inevitable consequences, and in the spirit of practical devotion to the substan- Tal interests of the South, not only ab . lit; from all pandering to old prejudices, but as much as in us lies insist upon a prompt and sagacious conformity to the existing order. Let us go in for fair play on the universal freedom basis. True, wo don’t like it; but that must now be the rule of tho game, and the sooner we adapt ourselves to it, the better will it be for ail concerned. To some extent, the Southern ; press has' an unpleasant and unpopular duty before it, but wtjpbeiieve it i tier wisdom mid the integrity to discharge i its legitimate offices with freedoip, hold j ness and independence, .and mi euJjight ieu ed regard .tu the gen eza! ,w eMare. tThi ?, !Lu tho song r.uj,i, will he. tone, poiiey. like j people wiiii reppect n; press \s\vhd6h ■ ideals | plainly .iuid houiesilyhy thesp, -maid JthougJ i lUs ccaiueeJsizajiy haiainwidooMay, tJthey.Aiiii I carry .lull the ;iaaikl amahkwii.ty o<i>i‘ ■ j.xraii.!.

Day be fore yesterday, t - . w< II- ■ tj amg ne- ■ gro men, when ]Ki*sing a -1 *•.•! house not a hundred miles ire i I eon. were most insultingly addressed by the whitt lads of the school with the cries “come out those boots”— “wash yourselves and give us some ink,’ yetc. The negroes parsing on quietly without any notice of the in sults, these noble seictis i.u tl e white rec*.. became enraged, a:id one of iltem running directly In fr< nt oßthe four, opened upon them a tirade of Uackguardism. The four ; freedmen scjk .attu iu tlic centre and pass ed him, but one of them happened, in passing, to jostle the helllgernnt a little, whereupon the latter called out loudly for a gun. A gun brought him by his com rades, aild h*e was about to level it at the freedman, in mere bravado, sup pose,) when these young negroes, who had uttered not a word before, turned round and appealed to two young ladies who were behind them upon the side-walk, for pro tection—culling them to witness that they had said or done nothing to justify the : rudeness with which they had been treat i ed. Thus appealed to, the young ladies j came forward, and by their indignant re ! monstrances shr.med these disorderly' white lads into decency, and the negroes 1 passed on without further molestation. Bet the youth ot Georgia, while insisting ! upon proper respee? ml belt a \ our from the ; colored race, be eavcful to nudthain self-re- 1 sped and decorum themselves. The ‘ meanest of all bullies and iasuiters is be i who shelters under superior strength or I higher social position. The generous mind | is more careful of ihe weak than of the j strong. It is related that Chief justice j Marshall, when passing along a street in’ Washington in company with a Northern friend, pulled oli'his list to return the sal- : utation of a negro man. “What,” said his friend, “doyou bow tonegroesV” “Sir,”said the Chief Justice, “3 can never permit a ne gro to be more polite than I am.,’ Let the traditional decorum of the Southern whites to ihe negro be maintained, and frown upon the first dawning of an unhappy hos tility of races -which shall disclose itself in such a disgraceful, unmanly incident as above noted. A3fOTHEii-C--v.su. —On the same day an old negro man passing up cotton avenue, was bailed by a if. fc>. white soldier and commanded to stop. The negro, not un derstanding the summons, which was en tirely unlawful, was fired upon by the sol dier. The ball fortunately missed its ob ject, anu penetrated an outhouse on Mrs. Wm. A. Loss’ lot, again happily without damage to sundry colored women who were at work in the house. tiOVEKMisYESSAGE IN BEFEEENOZ TO THE MANUS. * JKXECCTiVE DEnAItTMJEXT, 1 A( (JUJUiCiYYJJIYY GKOKOIA, S ifebru.-.ry, oth, lt>ot>. j To the General Assembly : With tins communication, 1 transmit copies of the proceeding* iff the Stock holders of the Bank of Augusta, the Au gusta Insurance and Map king Company, tile City Bank, and t he Mechanic's Bank, located in Che city of Augusta. .It will be seen that f ae two former make positive surrenders of their charters ; that the two latter have taken initiator,! steps to ihe same euy, and mat they ail diave provided for of their apset-s, real and personal,''- brSihe benefit of J heir creditors; tha; . awtex! - -X. ./ date of their eomuiUuicati&L coyjklen-d by the lTesi.,i«.j.. ..nd J>l .gustaJhs>>v>...

Id pr. et. v. Y i.. ut luither legis-> lation only the tax of one year wifi now bo collected, and the process of collection iu Georgia, from th< >,-.*»]-ie directly,- has commenced, though but liuie has , l»ecn made in it. Several of the North rn and Western j States have, ns i am informed, ae-utiby as sumeu its ecdlectiou and payment. My information is. tha. the Secretary of the Treasury dec-lints, without express leg- ; isiaiion on the point, to permit this as- j sumption by the tetutes lately hostile to the Culled States. Such legislation may, during the present session, be entertained by Congress, and i although iu our present status, we shall, i .standing without-, witness a practical sep aration between the power of taxation and j the privilege of representation, hitherto i considered iuseperabie in j free governments, we may indulge the. hope, that whilst our voices are suppress- | ed, our just claims will not be ignored.—J On this, as on other points, patiently. awaiting the prevalence of more liberal j counsels, it is our part, as it is the unmis-! takabie purpose of our constituents, to uis-! charge our whole duty to the Government j of the Uuited States. Should tire privilege ; be accorded, it may be after your adjourn ment, and in that event, any action you j may deem it proper to take on the subject, j must necessarily be hypothetical. Should our people, in their present ex- i hausted condition, be called upon to pay j i this Federal tax in the coarse of the year, I and another at or near its close, for the j i support of ihe State government, in the | ! next rolltieal year, the burthen will i'alAj j heavily upon them. ' M livottr present financiaUeonditionf it is ] i apparent that whatever relief, whether | ti-mporary or permanent, pop may deter mine to give, must be accomplished by ex tension of tlic State’s credit. Should you incline to extend relief in some form, and led no other .embarrassment than that re sulting from the uncertain action of the Congress, there arc two alternatives,either of which would accomplish tlie object. First, you may authorize ihe Executive, in the event, that the privilege be accorded to the State, to borrow, upon her bonds, a sufficient sum to pay the quota. If this course be adopted', it would be ex pedient, without loss of time, by resolu tion, to request a grant of the privilege to assume, and a suspension of the collection directly from the people, until the qustion be determined by Congress. Secondly, leaving the people to meet for themselves this Federal tux. you may re lieve them fmm the pavmynt of any State tax during this year, for the uses of the next, and rely upon a loan to supply that deficit. The material ditiferenee between the two expedients would be, that although upon either alternative, the people would be relieved from one tax, upon the second, they would have to meet the payment be fore realizing the fruits of the year’s labor. Very far from countenancing the general policy of‘reserving to the credit of the State, rather than to the pockets of the people, for the support of the government, I yet fool, that a stale of things, without a parallel in the past, and I trust in the fu ture, may justify its present adoption, without giving it the dangerous authqrify of precedent. " That late of thingsi'siirn ply this : On the one hand, a people, Shy ing their individual pecuniary resoßbes temporarily exhausted by a prdtracteiMucl deplorable war; on the other, a K'tatejßbn stitatod of the same p-eqjde, having %ge permanent resources, and very smaibhln debte.lness. and therefore entitled-to alton daat credit.

One-fourtli of all debts may be collected before January, 18(>7, and one-fourth each succeeding Janu -1 ary, until all is paid. Forney Preparing for Martyrdom. From the Buffalo Courier, (Kep.)] Forney is rejoicing over the passage of the bill enfranchising the negroes in the District of Columbia. He recites with great glee, that the whole Union party rallied in its support without a dissenting vote, and that, “the work of political freedom will be carried forward through all the North ern States.” In a letter to the Philadel phia Press, written on the 20tli instant, he declares that the people must not hesitate “to organize Christian liberty for the vic tims of slavery,” and adds : Are you ready lor the issue, my country men?*] do not fear your answer. The contest will be moslacrimonious, and prob ably some of us may fall victims to our Honest devotion to the truth. But the duty is ours to discharge, and we dare not post pone it to posterity. What a field for the young men of America! How, in tliecoiUT mon controversy, alii be fundamental prin ciples of our government, all the immortal maxims taught and practised by the early teachers of genuine Democracy, will arise, to inspire, to guide, anti to strengthen them ! Tlie very magnitude of the stake will give a rapture to. the strife, and the end will he a government in which all classes will.be entitled to the same privi leges, and will rise by their virtue and in telligence, or fall by their ignorance anti vice. • '. ~, | We venture the assertion that, if in tho new war which the Radicals are laboring' to inaugurate, any one falls a vatfiiimjo honest devotion to tlie truth, that mah will not he John W. Forney. 'The issue which the Northern disunionists have raised is not sufficiently pronounced in the bill en franchising the blacks in the District of Columbia.
