On account of the extreme inclemency of the weather aud our bad health we did not hear Guv Johnson speak last Thursday night. We under stand, however, that there was a large and atten tive audience out to hear him. We hive been told that he spoke with his usual eloquence, power and fervor. Wo understand the speech was reported and will be published. If so, we shall take an early opportunity to lay it before our readers. Anxious to be led into Temptation. The Editor of the Savannah Republican appe rs to think that being State Printer is calculated to corrupt a man, and yet lie was very anxious to In placed in that position. His prayer was, ltad no into temptation, aud I will risk the evil. ('niching np. We give up a large portion of our paper to day to proceedings of the Legislature. We have been compelled to publish other matter to the exclu sion of the doings of the Legislature; but hope now to catch up. Our editorial space could not be tot ter tilled than with ai> account of the doings ol the present General Assembly. At the C'npilnl. Vice President Stephens, and Senator Johuson spent several days at the Capital last week. Their numerous friends were glad to take them by the hand. TOr. IV. A. Campbell'* I.filer. We publish a letter from this gentleman, ma king certain charges, ot the truth of which we are ignorant. The matter appears to be a public one. If there is any rejoinder by oilier parties, we promise to insert it, if it is of moderate length Chriulmna Holiday*. The practice of giving our negroes a week’ s holiday at Christmas, has never been productive of any good in the past. The present is an op portune time to discontinue if. We believe that the negroes should have their holidays; but we do notbilieve that there should beany particular time set apart for the enjoyment of tins relaxation from labor. Ltt every man who owns a negro agree upon his own time for a holiday; and iet him fix it so as to suit his own convenience, and as often as he pleases. The congregation of large numbers of negroes in our tow ns and vil lages during Christmas week, is hurtful to the negro and the master If, instead of giving the negroes a whole week dm nig the month of De cember, tlieir owners would permit them to have every Saturday afternoon to work their crops, and do their little jobs of handicraft, the negroes w ould be better satisfied and their owners better remunerated. About Christmas is certainly an inopportune time to give our negroes a holiday. It is “hog killing” time, anu moving time—tto busiest time of all the year—it is the time when hired negroes arejpreparing to return home, and when others arc about to find new homes. Espe cially at this time should our people be more rig- eious than ever with their negroes; anu our city and town corporations should be vigilant in look ing after this portion of our population. Cot. Pickens on Hilts of Credit. Governor Pickens in bis late message to t’ e Legislature of South Carolina says r “There is no reason for our continuing to issue State bonds to be taken up by the banks, and our giving them seven per cent, forlhtir paper in exchange. It is in substance giving them the credit of the .St; te i;i exchange for their credit, and seven p> r cent- difference besides, when in fact the credit of the State is better, or ought to uc, than that of any of tire hanks with which it is exchanged. I there, lore urge you to take up this subject, and use our own State credit in some such way as I have stig- g sti-d. True the Constitution says that no State shall ‘emit bills of credit’, but a ‘bill of credit' lias a distinct commercial meaning and form. The form in which I propose to use our State credit on tin bills of our our bank already in circulation is not strictly making 'bills of credit.’ ” Will some one of our Carolina exchanges do us the favoi to inform us in what Article or Section of tiie Constitution Gov. Pickens finds the prohi bition that “no State shall emit bills ot credit”? Under the recommendations of Gov. Brown this State is issuing Treasury notes or “bills of credit” and we are not aw are that it violates any provis. ion or clause of the Constitution. We think., our sister State need resort to no shift to grJ r-id pf a constitutional prohibition which does not exist W e suppose Governor Pickens f und the ptohi bition in '.he Constitution of the United States, and not in the Constittnion of the Confederate States. Confederate Currency—« Clcprlu! sipn. The Richmond Examiner of the 1st inst , gives the public the following gratifying intelligence. It will not be appreciated by the speculators, who have invested their ill gotten gains in all scuts of property, which will go down, down, down, as the Confederate currency goes up; but tlx-great ma jority of the people, whose highest ambition is. to sae the country prosperous, will he delighted by this encouraging sign of hotter times ahead. T-.e F.tamiuer says: “The issue of Confederate notes fundable in eight per cent stock, is now at an end, and those •’ready issued, though still convertible in t ight per cent, stock will soon cease to be so through the action of the financial law passed by the late Con gress. Under its prt ssure an enormous invest ment in Confederate bonds is now in progress, and there is no doubt that the currency is about to he relieved of that redundancy which has nearly bro ken it down. The vast issue of Confederate mon ey now in circulation will lie absorbed iu the bonds; the currency w ill commence alresh; and the notes hereafter issued by the Government will for a long time be insufficient for the demand ot trade. The depreciation ot Confederate notes has already ceased, and we will soon witness a prodigious rise in their value, and consequent lall inthepticqof all real and personal properly. This result will be hailed with satisfaction by the country, but will cause terrible loss to those who have hoarded goods purchased at present prices in expectation of a still further rise, and w ill in flietdeep mortification on others who, when pos sessed of Confederate nrtes, have wildiy hasten ed to invest them in town lots and houses, from the fear that these notes would soon be worth noth Against this absurd practice we have per sistently advised the public: and, under present circumstances, we »re justified in reiterating that advic* with mors emphasis than ever.

Dunwoody about the same time near ly to the same purport in substance. Long himself, recently stated to Judge .

A Captain in a Texas regiment, and a clerk in the Quartermaster’s depart ment, at Richmond, deserted near Fredericksburg, on Friday night last, and went over to the enemy. They make all sorts of disclosures, as usual. A Washington dispatch says that it is no longer a question that the Army of the Potomac owes its failure to cross the Rappahannock promptly at Fredericksburg to the inexcusable delay in furnishing the means of trans portation. It is rumored that Gen. Meigs has been removed, aud Gen. Woodbury arrested for causing this delay.

The Treasury Department is unable to transfer the stock as rapidly as it is bought, aud is still sev- ctal days behind in its delivery. The new seven per cent, notes are not ready. In deed, they have not yet been printed. They say at tbe Treasury that they will be ready in two or three weeks, but it is not likely they will be prepared iu suffi cient number to enable the Government to begin paying them out before the 1st of January, 1863. Leaf Tobacco— The amount of Leaf Tobacco offering this week is not so great as during tbe last, but the prices still keep up for all grades except fine shipping, which suffered a slight decline yesterday. The following quotations for yesterday we obtain from Mr. John M. Sheppard, com mission merchant: Inferior Lugs, 7 00 to 9 00; good, 11 50 to 13 00; fine Lugs, 15 00 to 17 00. Leaf-'-inferior, 17 00 to IS 00 ; good, 20 00 to 23 00 and 25 00; fine shipping, 30 00 to 37 50; fine manufactur ing, 40 00 to 50 00. A few hogsheads of fine manufacturing were sold yesterday at 60 00 and 67 00. Manufactured Tobacco.--The market I for common grades has not been animated this week. Fine grades maintain their prices. The transactions iu dark sweet tobacco have been large, speculators seem ing to have come suddenly to the conclu sion that there is money in the article. There are at present a number of South ern buyers iu the city. At a large sale on Monday, at the auction house of Mr. Samuel D. Hicks, the following prices were obtained; Dark sweet, 35 to 69 cents, common grades, 35 to 50 cents; good, 75 to 85 cents ; very line 90 cents to 81 10. .: insurgents as biJIigetents, would soon re- ! cede from that position ; but temporary I reverses to tbe national arms have delay- j ed that act of simple justice, j Our struggle, he says, has been eon- : template;], by foreign nations, with refer ence less to its own merits than to the j supposed effects on those nations. The organization of banking associa tions to which the Government might furnish,circulating notes on the security of United States bonds deposited in tbe Treasury, is recommended. Those notes being uniform in appearance, attci security, and conveitible always into coin, would protect labor against the evils of a vicious currency, and facilitate commerce by cheap and safe exchanges. In his inaugural address, says lie briefly pointed out tbe total inadequacy of disu nion as a remedy for tbe differences be tween the people of the two sections. This language is repeated. He says that there is no line, r*"night or crooked suitable for a t ational t. undary upon which to divide. '1 he fact of separation if it comes gives up on the part of tbe Seceding section, the fugitive slave clause, along with other constitutional obligations, upon the Section Seceded from. Another objection to a separation into two nations is the people of the great interior region would be cut off from tlieir inlets to tbe coast by embar rassing trade regulations. After a further discussion of tbe subject, lie says : “Our strife pertains to oursel ves, to the passing generation of men, and it can, without convulsion, * be pushed forever, with the passing of. one genera tion. He then recommends that Congress propose amendments to tbe Constitution, providing for abolishing slavery before the year 1900- the owners to be com pensated, and all slaves of disloyal own ers, now enjoying actual freedom, to be forever free. This proposition is discuss ed at length to show that it would shorten the war and perpetuate peace. Neither the war, nor proceedings under the proclamation of Sept. 22d, will be stayed because of tbe recommendation of this plan. He closes as follows : “We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We know liow to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We say we here hold the power and bear the r®oponoibility and we sh-Jl nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed ; this cannot fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, jitst---a way which, if followed, tlie world, will forever applaud, and God will forever bless.” NOI.D3EKM KES.SEE-’ SOCIETY. The Soldier?
