MILLER, ftuiew M the >K\V VIIHK THIOIRK AMO MR. imaKLBT’l SPIRIT or CONCILIATION. We publish to-day a private letter late ly given to the public, for the first time, through the columns of the New fork Ttjhune, written by Mr. Greeley in April, 1865, and the comments of the Savannah jVVir* upon it. Oar ootemporsry of Savannah, it will be recollected, was one of the reluctant supporters of Mr. Greeley for the Presi dency last yesr; hence, his oom mentajnpon this letter may be the more interesting to our readers. It is not our purpose at present to make any remarks upon either the ~ditorial of the hem or this important letter of Mr. Greeley, which has so raently and strangely oome to light. Oar opinion of the priuc:plea of Mr. Greeley, and of all the contioiling members of the “Liberal Republican party,” so-called, are well known. It needs no repetition. It is sufficient to say that it is unchanged \Ve think of the leaders of this party their principle^ purposes and objeota, as well as of the spirit of that kind of reconciliation advocated by them, jnst as we did last year. The only thing we have now to say upon the subject ; a to repeat oor argent remonstrances against the Democracy’ ever permitting themselves again to go forth in a political canvass nnaer snob leaders The very name assumed by these malcontent Radical chiefs, is bat chest and a fraud. Who were ever i the past or present, more extremefin,their fanatical, consolidating *ud revolutionary doctrines, which have brought such troablen not only on Louisians, but througuout the laud, than those Radi cal malcontents who would now be the leaders of the Democratic Party, under the fascinating but guileful appellation of “ Liberal Republicanism ” ? Evtry day’s disclosures add to the conviction so often heretofore expressed by us, that the political salvation of the whole country, as well as the existence of the Democratic Party, depends mainly upon their striot adherence to, and firm maintenance of their own principles under their owu organization.

There seems to be considerable misun derstanding in regard to tbepre-payment of postage on all printed matter. The Washington Chronicle, in the column of “Departmental News,” states that tran sient or miscellaneous printed matter must be fnliy prepaid at the mailing of lice. Regular publications, known ss newspapers or periodicals, may be sent to sulatcribers now and after the 30th instant unpaid, and the postage collected quart eily of the subscribers. Newspaper excliHUots may be prepaid quarterly at the office of mailing or delivery. Tbe Chronicle says the requirement for full prepayment on transient printed matter is statutory, not departmental, and therefore cannot be abrogated by the Postmaster General; and that it is made the duty of all postmasters to col lect all deficient postage at the office of delivery, whether upon letters or print ed matter, more or less such matter be ing inadvertently transmitted in the mails. It is not shown that more is col iected at the Washington office than is legally due, or more than at other offi ces, in proportion to the quantify of sach m..uur delivered. 1. any statement has been made that no papers will be sent without prepay ment, then a mistake has been made, for large numbers are sent daily to sub scribers as provided by law. MAJOR z. H. HARGROVE AND THE romr roiTurrick. The readers of Th* Sun are aware that uot long since, an agent of tb<. Poetoffioe Department visited Rome, and after mak ing some investigation reported charges against Major Z. B. Hargrove, and recom mended his removal from offioe; the cl targe being that he b*’ deposited tlrt money of the postoffice in a bank for safe keeping, instead of keeping it in his possession in tbe office. As we before stated, it seems that there is an old long standing law of Congress making it a penitentiary (>ffeuoe for a postmaster to deposit the revenues of his offioe in bank, of the existence of wtiich Major Har grove was ignorant. It seems that the agent of tbe Department found all his aocouots correct and the money all on baud, and nothieg lacking in the way oi discharging his duty; but in depositing the money of his offioe, for sale keeping as he thought, he unwittingly violated a law, and laid himself liable to a very se vere penalty; and on this charge alooe, his removal was reoommended. Tnis is the case, as we wnderstand it. To oar mind (though we know nothing of th* facts), some one was trying to compass his removal to ttcuie Lis place. We are glad, however, to be able to state reliably that the autnorities at Washing ton did not act hastily on the case, bnt took time to investigate it very tally and thoroughly, the result of which is they became fully satisfied that Major H. trad faithfully, with unswerving integrity, discharged his duty ss a postmaster, not only with credit to himself and to the tisfaction of the Department, but also to the satisfaction of tl e great mass of the peoplo receiving mail matter through the Rome poetoffioe; and that his de positing public money in a bank, c rn- trary to law, was not with the intention ot defrauding the government, or doing anything wrong, but with the good in tention of keeping it safe, and in igno rance of tbe law. The Department, therefore, fuiij exonerates him fr.m blame, and leave a him in possession of the postoffioe at Rome. We are glad cf this. Major H. is a Grant Republican, and we differ very widely with bis politics; but we regard him as an honest man. His efforts to bring the plunderers,under Bullock’s ad ministration, to punishment, deserve tbe lasting gratitude of the honest people of Georgia; and we have no doubt they will see to it that he is yet properly compen sated for this great service, as well as tbe money expended by him out of bis own private purse, refunded.

NeWsp..; et reporters are often request ed to suppress names by the parties themselves from the reports of Courts, when they have been connected with dis creditable behavior. This request is too often granted, in onr opinion; tbst «, if it is right to publish names in such con nection or transaction at ail. Our idea is that all names should be suppressed or &U published. One ck tfcb other policy^ is right, and in adopting either the rale should be indexible. We do say that it is tot right for the press to nuke distinction* iu such mat ters. The suppression of names before tin Couits for dismeanors should no;, we think, be confined to those who “have friends.” We do not see that they or their families deserve to be shielded from public odinm any more than tl’ose who are Wes prominent. These reflections OQfne to onr mind from reading similar remarks in the Sa vannah Weirs and tbe Columbus Sun. ^ , UKtrs in North Georgia. —We learn from a gentleman, who has jnst returned from a visit to Cedar Valley and aloDg the line of the .ielma, Rome A Dalton Railroad, that the corn and cotton crops are very good, bnt wheat is poor. An exceptional patch of the latter he no ticed near Cedar Town. It contained cnly three-fourths of an acre aDd will pr< dace on the lot twenty five bushels. Ibis was in a great measure owing to the extra attention bestowed and in fer tilising. Review of the Markets. The main articles of oommerce at the present time are meat, oorn and flour. All the heavy transactions are done in those three commodities, and we find that mach activity prevailed among our wholesale merchants the past week Cora tbe past week was steady at 80 to 82 cents for white. There is no prospect for any material change for some time to oome. The floor trade has been a little Detter the past week than +he former, and we think it safe to prediot an advanoe within the next month. The wheat crops throughout the Booth and Northwest are poor. Tbe prospects in the Northern States, east of tbe Mississippi are gener ally good. It is sale for parties to bay at present prices, and do hot tl'ihk they will get anj lower. Bicon remains firm. The last hog crop netted about one thousand million of pounds, of wbion a little over five hundred and thirty millions oi pounds have been exported, leaving tbe stock tn hand now leas than the stock of the cor responding period of last year. Owing to tbe large crop cat at Chic*go, St Louis and Louisville they have baen free sellers, and have not only sold out tneir stocks, bnt have sold largely lot future delivery, consequent the operators cl those three cities as* moving Heaven and eaith to depress ttfo market and break down prices in order to cover their khekts. Ia this they have been partially svooess- ful. Exports still continue largely, and the consommers in the Gotten States bought heavily in January rad February, which supply is now abcut exhausted, ana from henceforth they must be buy ers. Consequently prices will be com pelled to advance. The supplies in this market are light, while tire demand is fair. A material ad vance is confidently expected within the n-xt few weeks. Tbe following letter, from fhe late Horace Greeley, never before printed, is published by tbe Me# York Tribune, to snow “bow early be took the poeit on of advocating the largest clemency towards those who had taken part in the re bellion ” It will be seen by the cate, says tbe Tribune, “that the letter was written while Abranam Lincoln was mov ing home to Illinois in his last triumph, and Andrew Johnson was clamoring for the blood of traitors Naw loax. April 71.186$. Mt Friend : I have your letter. We must pat down tbe Rebellion ; we mast make an end of Slavery; for t> t go- d of the whoie human race requires both of these ; bnt do not let ns seem to do in wrath what is dictated by love. We may have to kill more of the Southern sava- gee, luciudkg their chiefs ; bnt let u* not drink their blood and imbibe there from their spirit. I say in all truth that I would gladly let them all go unpunish ed (by war) to-morrow if they would but give up Ulavery, stop the Rebellion, oome back and behave themselves. And I am not very good at that. If 1 were better I should probably be willing (as I once was) to pay them something lor tLeir slave; now I think they havet&khu their pay in rebellion and must be satis fied with that O nay iriendl remember “ Father for give them. ” We might be as they are bad we been nursed on the tiger’s milk of Slavery. Now let ns be satisfied with the inevitable woes of this terrible war. Yonre, Horace Greeley. Mti. M. M. WkifpU. This letter to his friend, Mrs. Whipple, is characteristic of its author, aud under the guise of philanthropy exhibits his deep hatred i f “tne Bontbern savages” whom he would have killed for defend ing their rights and liberties, but whose blood be would not drink for fear of im bibing therefrom their spirit. Unfortunately for Mr. Greeley’s memo ry, there are avowals in th<s private let ter utterly inconsistent and irreooncilable with his public professions. It is well known that he, as well as Mr. Lincoln, and tht leaders of the RepnLlican party, so-called, persistently disav< wed any in tention to interfere with the institution of slavery in tbe States. Tuey indig nantly denied tLat the war which they were waging for tbe maintenance of the Union, embraced in its objects the over throw of tbe domestic institutions of the South or the plunder of her people of tbe hundreds of millions of dollars iu vested in slave property, originally pur chased from the slave-traders of New England. It will be remembered that when such a purpose wan charged upon tbe party daring the canvass of 1860, Mr. Lincoln, in more than one of his political speeches, emphatically denied any intention or dt sire, declaring that the institution of slavery was recognized and guaranteed by the constitution ; that it was not in the power of Congress to disturb it. and that for himself, “he oould not if he would, and would not if he oould,” interfere with slavery where it existed iu the States. Mr. Greeley pro fessed the same lespect for the guaran tees of the Constitution as affecting the institution of slavery in the States, and persistently denied auy intention on the part of the Republicans to interfere with the local government and domestic insti tutions of the South. He heartily en dorsed the diplom itic cii cular ser t abroad daring the war containing the resolutions of Congress, in which that body declared that the war against the South was not waged for purposes of conquest, nor for the overtbw of the institutions of the South, but simply and solely lor the maintenance of the integrity of the Union and the life of the nation—that all the Government required was that the South should lay down ner arms, cease to res'st the Constitutional authorities and return to her allegiance, with her rights of local self-government, her domestic in stitutions and her relations to the Feder al Government unimpaired. Such were the pretences trader which the Radical revolutionists waged war □pon the South—such we-e the profes sions they made to tbe governments of Europe and to the people ot tho North higber-Uw fanaticism to tbe insidious rad specious teachings of wuit-b we owe th" overthrow of onr Btuubhcan form of government, and the political, social, and moral degration which has brought disgrace on the Ameri can name rad character. Tbe phart-aic- al invocation “O my friend! iem«mber * Father forgive them,’ We might be as they are bad we been nursed on the ti- eyi gera milk of slavery,” is a characteristic and a fitting close to a letter at owing such setimenU.

And, as a natural consequence, weeds and grass are making rapid pro gress—though the farmers are using much industry and skill in managing their crops. Extra labor in demand, but none to be had. The freedmen are working, well all, permanently employed.

The wheat harvest will not be as abundant as was expe<‘.ed at sowing.

The oat crop will be ohort, as the fall sowing was near y all killed by the heavy freezes through the win ter. The spring crop will be good, though but few were . o va at that time.
