I am not in favor of restoring the constitutional relations of slavehold ers to the Union, jior of the war to that end. On the contrary, I am ut terly and forever opposed to both.

It set- 1 ties the law technicality in a (pieetion of this kind can stand. The war lias utterly dissolved the connec tion between the North aud Soutli, and rendered them separate and inde pendent powers iu the world.

The principle is laid down by Vallet as follows: When a nation becomes divided into two parties absolutely independent and no longer acknowledging a com mon superior, the State is dissolved, and the war between the two parties stands upon the same ground, in every respect, as a public war between two different nations—Book III, chapter 17, page 42S. It is not to be won dered at therefore, that so learned and profound a jurist as the honorable member from Pennsylvania (Mr. Ste vens) should express the same opinion.

This fact, however, of fers no obstacle whatever to such a separation as is involved in indepen dent political jurisdiction, on the con trary it greatly facilitates it. Before the Federal Union was established, all chances of the Conservatives in the the Statcs were independent, and ks- election, far superior to that of the ad- ministration. Great reliance is placed by the latter on the vote of the sol dier; but, in my opinion, this is delu sive. The soldiers will be affected in like manner with the rest of the pee- | pie, and moreover, will be tired of j sociated.under articles of Confedera tion, in tbe nature of a treaty. The arguments now adduced to show the impracticability of present separation, between the North and South, go with equal force to prove the impossi bility of what then actually existed military service, and anxious to return ! aild was accepted tn the case of thir- home.

A volume entitled “YVest Point and* Political Generals,” soon to be issued by a Southern publishing house, gives a brief summary of the exploits of Morgan, the great Kentucky Partisan. They border on the marvelous; yet they are strictly authentic. He began with a small body of horse, which be raised himself, and during bis career has brought from within the lines of the enemy, and turned over to the Confederate service, nearly 5000 men. He has generally been at the head of less than 1000 men—in bis famous raid on Kentucky lie started with S75, and re turned with 1200. He lias within two years fought more than fifty battles—and killed or wounded more than six thousand of the enemy, and has made upwards of fourteen thousand prisoners. His expedi tions have always been of the most daring description ; yet he has never, but on two occasions, been forced to fight when he did npt wisli it. Many of his battles Lave been of the most desperate character, and he has been uniformly victorious. He has frequently operated hundreds ot miles from support, in the midst of overwhelming bodies of the enemy, whose strength was greatly enhanced by the possession of railroads and telegraphs, stretching around him like a web, and almost indefinitely fa cilitating their power of concentration, while in the same degree, it complicated the dangers of his situation. The sagacity by w bicli be lias always been enabled to pluck triumph from the very jaws of these.mul tiplied dangers, indicates tho military genius of the highest grade. The following is a summary of Morgan’s exploits iu the’ six months, beginning 4th July, 1S62, and ending 4th January, 1S63 : Between 12,000 and 15,000 pris oners and 18,000 .stand of arms, captured; and 89,500,000 worth pf stores, destroyed ; j no- —° u raised witlun tlie enemy's lines, and armed and equipped by himself, he having received but 200 saddles from the Government, Kighly Tli!lio:in RSsi«*hrl« of Corn. YVllO wants tho amount 1 Georgia next October, for twelve ensuing months.— Fifteen millions bushels for the people of the State : fifteen more her pro rata, to sustain the soldiers; forty millions for horses and cattle, and ten for hogs and pork. YVliereas vovn has to be moved we must allow twenty per cent loss—that is sixteen millions. Suppose an ordinary cbtton crop had been planted last year what with the drought in Cherokee and other places would have been our condition this ISth of February or rather three months hence 1 Not a busheljwould have been for sale. Famine would have stalk ed abroad from the sea-board to tbe moun tains—from Savannah to Chattahoochee. Our brave boys would have been worse off than at Fort Donelson—too feeble to make a charge upon their assailants, from strained efforts sixty hours—now it would be for want of food. Never was such a crop produced in the State aud yet it it holds out to October, we should-be full of gratitude to the Father of mercies, who blessed the labor of our hands. It was the result of true patriotism that controlled our people to abandon a cotton crop and plant so largely in corn. God lias rewarded this patriotism with hia blessing upon our labors ; but three fourths less in corn would have proved our over throw ; to day thousands would hare wit nessed famine in all its horrors. “But we shall have peace in three months and tbe cotton will bring 16 to 20 cents.” Let no such illusions deceive you; the wily foe may be holding out these omens on purpose to deceive and ruin us Odi onines o/nuns Danaoram—the lute to destroy, A corn crop is worth more than a cotton crop at 81 per bushel. Three acres of cotton may produce 1600 pounds in the seed ; 100 ginned, at 15 cents, is worth $60—Those three would produce GO bush els corn—860. If you estimate tbe cotton at 20 cents then 1 estimate tbe corn at SI 50, and tho corn is most profitable.— But four times the labor is required to gather three acres of cotton which the ‘ corn demands. This would enable you to plant 12 in corn; then you are 100 per cent, better off. But I appeal to your love of country— to your willingness to sacrifice a little lon ger in this good cause to save your coun try by sustaining the soldiers. Don’t let avarice tempt to barter what you have suffered so much for, to get money for your cotton cmp. 1 conjure you by all that is sacred in home, country, liberty—both civil and religious—I conjure, you to plant *orn and thus 6ave all ; for without food, we are a prey to our unrelenting foes.— Our temporal salvation depends on a good corn crop for 1863. YY’c have done and suffered too much already to be led astray by the avarice of a cotton crop.—Corn, com, cor.v, for 1S63.—Atlanta Intelli gencer. The Louisville Democrat' says that there is a growing conviction that the party in power at Washington have no expectation or desire to succeed in putting down this rebellion. They intend to do all the harm to the South tlmt they can, in the remnant of time left them, and then acknowledge the separation. By this means they hope to hold power in the remnant of the Union.

A target, plated with eight inches of iron, was penetrated with the powerful projec tile fired from the gun, at a distance of eight hundred yards! It was first charged with fifteen pounds of pow der, then with twenty, and finally with twenty-five; but the twenty pound charge was found to be the most effective. Administrators Sale.
