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.

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.

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.

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.

We advert to this passage in tho history of our sister State, because it seems to us that our pres ent position is uot unlike lnir*. when iu similar circumstances, she trembled on the verge of this fathomless abyss. May Georgia prove herself as circumspect as Alabama did ill 1857, and in the evept of a general European war, of a dissolution of tho Union, a commercial revulsion from any other cause, realise ns she did, a happy escape 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 t.*> be feared in Georgia as any w here else, and now 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 pretentious and rut her exaggerated display of the advantages of lUiirnnd*.

Tho true theory of Govern 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 are cheaper than other mode* of transportation.

Our population increased as rapidly in the earlier 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 or un Railroad*, than in thu older Status, which are chequered by them.

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.
