The speech aud the Abolition rejoinders created dead, h rom the first it was against the Consti tution and laws, and without validity ; and all proceedings under it were aud utterly are null and void, and of no effect. I he indg.nant voice of condemnation long since went forth form the vast majority of the people and press of America-, anff trom ail free wmiiuicn-tii Europe with entire unanimity. And mure-recently, too, the “plattorm” of an earnest, numerous and most formidable convention of the sincere Republicans, and still further, the. em phatic letter of the acceptance by the candidate otdliut cnttueiiriaii- c y Presidency eight years ago, upon the rallying cry of free speech, and ti tree press—give renewed hope that at last, the reign of arbitrary power is about to be brought to an end in the United States. It is neither just nor fit, therefore, that the wrongs inflicted nnder “Order Thirty-eight,” and the other "edids and acts of such power, should any longer be endnred—certainly not. by me alone. But every ordinary means of redress lias first been exhausted : yet either by the direct agency of the Administration and its subordi nates, or because of want of jurisdiction in the civil courts to meet a case which no America i ever in former times conceived to be possible here, all have failed. Counsel applied in my be half to an unjust judge for a writ of habeas cor pus. It was denied; and new the privilege of that writ is suspended by act of Congress and the laws of Congress. If it be in the execution of the compact made by his agents abroad, by which he is compelled to deliver cotton at five pence per lb. ip Wimington for which he could get two dol lars per lb. there; then, all nyill admit, he has added another, to many previous, demonstrations of his unfitness for hia office. Those bonds were selling in London recently at 65 per cent., (more than one-third less than par) so that parties deal ing in them, get their cotton in Wilmington for less than seven cents per lb. His cotton transactions have cost the Govern ment ten times the first C06t of the cotton in the etcess ot cost of tho provisions for the army, caused by the outlay—and if this be a samp'e of ic convention of Ohio, one year ago, by a resolu tion formally presented through a committee of your best and ablest men, in person at Washing ton, demanded of the President in behalf of a very large minority of the people, a revocation of the edict of banishment. Pretending that the public safety then required it, lie refused, saving, at. the same time, that it would afford him pleasure tecomply as soon as he could by any means be made to believe that the public safety would not suffer by it. One year has elapsed ; yet this hollow pretence is still tacitly asserted, and to-day I am herd to prove it. unfounded in fact. I appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, aud because Congress had never conferred jurisdiction in be half of a citizen tried by a tribunal unknown for s’ch purposes to the laws, and expressly forbid- tlu slaughter became ineffectual. This was owing to the fact that the piles of dead were heaped so high in front of our works that onr meii could not get high enough to shoofcover them. Gen. Bullie seeing this state ofaffairs, with that mas terly strategy and intuitive military skill thnt bus ever been his inert prominent virtue and' that lias saved this army on several previous occasions, seized a 20 pound parrot gun. and followed by A.

Mr. Editor -.—At the request of tlie Secretary I send you the Minutes of the Meeting held in Gordon, to-dav, to organize n Soldier’s Wayside Home in this place. To say that a Wayside Home should be organized here is not saying enough, to say one must be orga nized is perhaps saying too much, but, to use the lau guage is pe of the" President jjlio (feu by the Constitution, jt were- powerless to fe me as a citizen of Ohio and of to demand, and by iny own act to vindicate, the rights, liberties and privileges which I never forfeited, but of which for so niady j great excitement The three hundred dollar clause is to be repeal- [ cd. tion in Lincoln’s Cabinet, and we could place Mr. Memminger there, that would be a roup de ; wnie, ,‘ * never tomi^a, out < main, that would scon smash up that tottering - months 1 have been deprived, concern—and I am sure, as far as despotism is wUo wits elected, (Colonel Rivers) “Where there is “will there is a way.’ Wilkinson County has made a pretty good start for only three districts, the subscription in the same amounting to over ($5,000,) five thousand dollars, but she can and will do more.

C<>1 Rivers the President elect is the very man for the place. * He r- an active, energetic working mail and to add to these qualifications he is devoted heart and soul repeatedly with the steamer A. L>. Yarn e. The steam er Little Ada is, to all inteiita and pun oses,the-prop- erty of the Statqof Georgia. 8he has oeen chartered by the State to take out he' cotton exclusively, aud so long as that charter exists so long does she, own and control her. Mr. Sneed says, “soeaie'iil has been the Secretary of the rights anti cvr:i feelings of the State,’’ A:c. I beg to lake issue with him on that point so far, ns the State of Georgia is concerned. Mr. Memminger 1ms “uniformly:permitted ihe. States of Virginia and North Carolina to import supplies duties /rte, yst the Collector at. Wilmington wandim-tednot to permit the blankets and other supplies ot the State of Geoigia lo to-delivered fo her agent until ihe duties were paid. Mr. Sueed further says—“the whole mutter in. eoutre- versy is simply whether the Confederacy shall have equal rights of shipmentun bunjdthe Little Ada with. tJui^y;tatg_o£ Georgia.” .How rtends the case T The chartered her at. T am saffsnea, TUfhe ("Oitrehemcy will join the State on equal terms, the State will relin- quislione half of her charter in the steamer to her- By such an arrangement, the Confederacy will getout ten times as much cotton as she now does under her regulations. But for these regulations the 10,000 bales of cotton that were destroyed in Wilmington would have beeu on the other side Hnd to the credit of tho Government and its citizens. If the pioviso of the act, intended to place the State on equal teirns with the Confederate States, why does Mr. Memminger refuse the State of Geor gia that privilege which he is daily assuming for the Confederacy, viz - The chartering of ships to take out whole cargoes of cotton? Would the Sec retary yield one half of such room to the State of Georgia, were slie fo demand it, and that, too, at a freight less than one forth of what be pays the owners of the vessels? If he would not. then why and upon xvhat grounds docs he demand such terms from the State of Geoigia? Mr. Sneed’s blind prejudice against Gov. Brown may cause him to continue his assaults upon him, but they will not deter the Governor from protec ting, when he has the power, and when be has not, of protesting against any assault made upon the dignity and sovereignty tf the State of Geor gia. — »i^—■—— ■■ — Evacuation of Roswell.—We have just met our young friend Capt.

You have already vindicated your rigid to hear: it is now my duty to assert my right to speak. Wherefore as to the sole of fense for wbich I was arrested, imprisoned and banished—free speech in criticism and condemna tion of the Administration—an Administration fitly described in a recent public paper by one of its early supporters, aa “marked at home by its disregard of constitutional rights, by its viola tions of personal liberty and the liberty of the press ; and its crowning shame, by its abandon ment of the right of asylum, a right especially dear to all free nations abroad.” 1 repeat it here to-day, and will again* and jet again, so long as I live, or the Constitution aud our present form of government shall survive. The words then spoken and the appeal at that time made and now enforced by one year more of taxation and debt, and of blood and disaster, entreating the people to change the public servants and their policy, not by force, but. peaceably, through the ballot- box. I now, and here reiterate in the utmost exr tent, and with all their s'gnificaney. I repeat them, one dud all, in no spirit of challenge or bravado, but as earnest, sober, solemn truth and warning to the people. It was pioposed to organize permanently aud Col. J.
