Mi'iiedguviUo, couijKiaod of de lug a lea lYum th
Volunteer Corpaotthis State, to and Lou as a plan
for the iltoruugb organuulioit ami eijuipuioiit of
our troops, iu lime of i>uuuo prepare for war, is
the motto of all sue aud ouligblened govern
luouL. Had uot the good old L'otuui on wealth of
Vtrgiuia observed this precept, had she scouted
the idea of keeping up an armed force within her
iunits, uad she discouraged every seutiment of
yoututul heroism auvl dampened the military teal
of tier citueus, to day, she would have presuuted
the pitiful speoUioie of a great .'Slate iuvadud by
lusarreutiouists without the ability to crush them
with her uou heel. Tbauks, however, to the
noble Voiuuleers, in three hours alter the alarm
of the approach of the abotitiouist upon Charles
town to rescue CupL Brown and accomplices
was heard and the order issued by tho Governor
of Virgiiiia, re arms f to amis ! four well discip
lined corps with their knapsacks and acooutru
meßt* and LrivGmff bayonets and haary loaded
pieces were on their way to the soeno of notion.
Such promptness, such ijuiekncss of movement,
such readiness for duty, suoh discipline, tells a
tale in favor of a thorough military organisation
iu every State that puts to blush those idle dream
ers, who see nothing but ‘‘fuss and feathers” iu
the displays of the oitisen soldiery, and who give
them no word of comfort or support.
We trust that tho Convention, which assembles
to-day, may maturua plan for the discipline of our
State troops aud their encouragement, which will
awakeu a deep interest iu the minds of our peo
ple. ‘J bo necessity for volunteer* in every coun
ty oannot be doubted. There is u sense of secu
rity and protection to those communities, whore
organised, disciplined corps arc in thoir midst,
that is net felt outside of'them. The Volunteor*
should be encouraged ! This is language of tho
messages of Governors Johnson and ilrown, this
is the language of the poopio of Georgia to-day,
ami we trust that our legislators may organise
the military ot the .'state upon a basis which will
accomplish this wise end. W<- rejoice to see that
our Bunator, iton. Hines Holt, has made a step
in thw right direction, and is warmly enlisted in
the cause. Ho will receive the tribute of praise
from the Yuluutecra iu the State, who hare long
tall the necessity of ome action upon thin <(Uea
tion. To abolish the Militia system and encour
age the VultiirtatM - is the settled policy of tho
State of Georgia.

used the expression “many members of the leg

front the log-rolling policy of accomplishing their
purposes. A disclaimer was made at the name
time of any intention to impugn the integrity of
any one. This is satisfactory, while a garbled
extract would put us in a false position.

to participate in the religious service* set apart
for that day. Alter reading a portion of the

people in suoh a case; yea, happy is that people
whose God is the Lord/ The learned snd elo
quent speaker contended that the happim-ss of a
people depended upon their virtue, aud that the
only sure and indostruotible basis for a Govern
ment to rest on was undetlled Religion. He do*
soauted at some length on the character of trans-
Atlantic Governments, and proved hy history
that no people ever bad lon known to prosper
for a great while, whose God was not t,be Lord - -
His sermon was marked by great ability; was
clothed in faultless language, and eloquently du
livered. It was listened to with more than ordi
nary attention. We trust the committee that in
vite-1 Dr. Higgins to address the General Assem

the Governor of Mouth Carolina, tendering any I
amount of military aid in defence of Virginia.

soring the Governor that Virginia win? able to

Tho Richmond military wore all ordered home i
yesterday, hot the people protested, declaring
that if there wa* any necessity for them to come,
that necessity still existed.
Tbe result was, that Gov. Wise ordered two j
Richmond companies to remain, and also the I
Petersburg artillery.
Several of the Richmond companies started
for home tUD morning, and other# will go to
morrow.
Gov. Wise and stall left this morning. Ifc ex

We need not protest that we have all proper
; respect for the Gveruor of Georgia, ami the able
ami distinguished gentlemen who constitute the
i Senate “Committee on Internal Improvements,”
I and who have published to the public of Georgia,
i “Mr. T. Butler King’s Report on Statu aid.”
If is known to our renders that the Timas
I newspaper hu* heretofore und uiton staked what
ever ol character it possesses for inteUigonqe aud
devotion to tho interests of Goorgia, upon an Un
compromising opposition to the policy of Stato
Aid. Our present convictions of public duty are
such that we cannot forbear to review this “Re
port,” Wo appeal to the Legislature of Geor
gia to pause and consider, if butficient m/wws
have been adduced to justify the wild specula
tive udvouluro proposed by his ExoolJency and so
warmly an.l elaborately endorsed hy Mr. King
and liis Committee. We answer that whatever
of merit it possesses has Hecu developed iu this
Report —that gentlemen of known ability of- those
| Committeemen have presen tod the strongest ar
gument the ease is susceptible of—that Congres
sional reputation and admitted character for
great tiiouiciul lore and experience have not been
thrown away in a crude and half considered argu
! mont in behalf of what is assumed to boa “most
important subject.”
If we succeed in showing the Report to bo
fiiiinttf and utterly irrelevant to tho issue of State
aid, as we regard it, it will not follow that such,
men as Gov. Ilrown, Mr.T. Butler King, Mr. ,J.
L* Seward and thoir honorable compeers of tho
Committee, aro not very able and justly esteemed
Statesmen, hut that they have eapottsod n most
questionable policy- -not that they aro wanting
in i-ithcr strength or skill, but that the position
1 which they have undertaken to defend is utterly
indefensible. Indeed the Committee seemed to bo
I conscious of the weakness *f its position. It
..pons its argument Dolby ahold avowal of the
merits nf the co#c, but k shrinking, almost do?
pairing appeal to the authority of the Governor!
Nor is their cause benefittod by a cunning and
luwyerly pin* that hi* late and triumphant re
election is “the best oriduh r” that “the people of
Georgia” have “maturely considered’’ this policy
an*l given in its favor a “decided expression of
, tlm popular will.” which “must ba a# gratifying
to hi# E.xcelleucy as it is sure to- place him m the
front rank of tho friends of progress.”
Hold ai this assumption seems intended !<• bo,
the Committed evidently shrink from it* unquali
fied assertion. With a trembling hand it scatters
this holy water upon the Rod Sea, fearful that the
restless spirit of opposition will not sleep under J
the power of its magic. A dreamy iniproßsrion
seem* tr Imunf the imagination that “those op*
; posed to this policy’ may venture to contend ‘that 1
! it was not the ruling question in the canvass.”
! The spoftoh was begun with the lofty gesticulation
; and imperious tone of a “Hero”—it closes with
I the stammering accents and down-east eye of
f poor “Davit*.”
1 If State aid hud been the o/y issue in th** lnt*
| Gubernatorial election, it might lie safely inferred
! that a majority of tho “people of Georgia” ap
! prove tho polio/ so earnestly urged by tho Re
i jort, atnl if tho Legislature eottbl feel itself au-
I tliorlzod by Hie orsrunic la w to eugago hi such
! wholesale and reckless spuetilatimi, and could
1 justify sneh n smirw hy the great essential prin-
I elplos of Uonstiiotloftul liberty, we should not
’ on our nioiitbs upon Hie subject, but be th#
silent spectator of the madness of the people an*i
| the ruin Jo which misguided counsels would doom
1 our noble State.
If “State Aid” had beon “tho ruling issue,”
1 soui” just approximation might be made to a
conclusion, that this “sturdy boggftr” g<*es witli a
popular introduction into the halls of legislation.
; But it was notoriously no is*tie. at mil. There was
i on this subject essentially aud practically no ex
pression whatever of opinion “by the great mass
of tin* people.” They knew tht tho whole mat
ter lay with the Legislature and not the tiueernor
uud they could not antieiparo such a aur rentier of
indvjtrnde.ne.a in the Legislative Department of
the Government, us is implied by Uie opening
tug iment ol the CoiumitUte. “’J'lie people of
! ‘Jcorgiu” never imagined for a moment that it
i would bo said by the Legislature—“the Govern
or propones and wa therefore approve—“the Leg
islature approves uml 1 uni thr ref ora right.”
The Governor ha* taken the responsibility
which belong* to bis station and recommended
ihi* policy to the State. Let the Legislature not
’ shrink froiu it* just responsibility bchiud thu
i shadow of tho Executive and fail to subjoct this
| recommendation to the severest te.sts of loglg and

bility end prurient ambition Lo otand ‘in tho front
rank of the friends of progress, M “JuUtly to nalf
rd,” could betray him into a desire to dictate to
tire Legislature on (hi* vital subject..

of the Legislature, us the Report •eenm to im]dy,

with stntitilfc*. It i* quite uniiccoH*ar.v that w
should do so. We propose to answer the argil
ment of the Report before us. and suggest a few

Whatever might be said in favor of such a

We advert to this passage in tho history of our

circumstances, she trembled on the verge of this
fathomless abyss. May Georgia prove herself as

from the perils which now environ her ! We re
peal th# time is inauspicious for this experiment,
waiving, for the sake of argument, our objection#
to such schemes, upon tho ground ot principle.
We submit that wo have answered tho argument
of this formidable Report! It is easy to make
flour i-lies upon paper about “any stem of improve
ment and material progress fer Georgia, far hu
pu ior, in the wisdom o‘‘its provision und limita
tions, to any heretofore adopted, by either of her
sister States”- a system which will give “encour
agement and aid t*> great anil important works,
art*! hold out no temptation# to those who would
recklessly embark iu unprofiUhlo undertakings,”
but with deference, these magnificent promises are
not arguments, but bold assumptions of the very
thiug# to be proven. Wc coulees wc do not see
why tho “reckless extravagance,” with which
many of the “Interior Skates of tho Uuiou have
entered on a system of Railway improvements
and unguarded issue of State credits,” are not

us at any other tinio. It spent# to us, that these
admitted examples *f “reckless extravagance.*’
ought to warn'us of tho danger ahead. We are in
vited to navigate a sea tilled with wrecks.
The Committee in evident four of facts very
adroitly admits them, and attempts to itrgms them
•vwuy. Other people, they think, are not so wise
as we are. They did not take so “prudent and
proper 11 view” of their “geographical pvsitli*u”(!)
They were guilty of “a total neglect or disre
gard” of such “important considerations,” us their
“geographical position, with respect to commu
nication and intercourse, with adjoining States,”
aud their “connection with tbe commerce of the
I world, both domestic ami foreign.” If is to b
hoped that wo may prove Tiirreolves wiser .than
such people! Perhaps they would accept our
protection ‘( All else in this Report Is simply s

ment is to simplify its cuds and means alike, to
keep it disentangled from the oorrupting and
hazardous association of corporations and cur-
rouey.
Much stress is laid upon Railroads to “increase
the value of taxuble properly” of the States.—
Thin is greatly an illusion. They do not iucreaxe
the productive capacity of oar laud*. They af
ford convenient means of transportation, and arc
worth precisely much and no more, a tb*y

They thus enhance the nominal mn, let value of

history of the Republic, before Railroads were
built, as it has since, and now iucreosus even
more rapidly in new Htutcs, where there are few

are chequered by them. Alabama is to-day, in
spite of heavy taxes arid with comparatively lit
tle Railroad, increasing n* rapidly in wealth arid
population as Georgia. Thu Railroad* which
Georgia ha* .built have bcnelitted other States
almost as much as our own people.
Lot us not be misunderstood. We are not op
posed to Railroads. We are their earnest advo
uatoa and true friend*. In proper localities, and
springing up spontaneously to answer the de
mand* of commerce, they are very useful, but
like everything else, they may and have often
been overdone. They do nut convert bar Ten

The Report talks about “the present exorbi

their reduction by competition.
If this business is in -o profitable a way, which
we have not hitherto learned, the Htate may well
lot it alone. It need* “no aid.” If it is no so
prosperous, the adventure might Dot pay.
We deem it unnecessary to suy a word shout the
absurdity of bringing cotton from tho Mik*itdppi
Vnley, by Railroad. The Report shows that, that
calculation i* a failure, mid wt thought nore so
