Rl HOI SK. BQIcnfc*. SISBET & €0., State Printers. Tuesday Horning, January. 31, 18B5. t V* So* 1 our now advertising: rates. C’nn the Country Survive it! In the Constitutionalist of the 20th inst. we find the following: item of news: “Gen. Pemberton lias been assigned to active duty.” When Vicksburg wna surrendered to Grant, and twenty seven thousand, (just to think of it!) brave Southern soldiers were turned over to John son’s Island, r.nd other northern Bastilcs, to sut- fer, sicken, and die, away from home, friends and Country, oh, how the Confederacy reeled and stag gered under tho blow! That day, that aw ful 4th of July when Pemberton opened the gates of Vicksburg and gave his sword and soldiers to Grant, was the darkest in the history of this War. Where are those twenty “odd thousand men? E'’ho answers, where? Thousands are dead—died of cold, starvation, and man s inhumanity to man, Some still remain in Northern prisons, and hun dreds are suffering at home from diseases eoritrac* ted from the rigors of a Northern climate, and closely crowded prison accommodations. J3h, that they could all be brought into line, just as they died, and just as they live—those twenty seven thousand brnies at cue w att of a magician's wand—would you like to hear their response to the announcement—‘‘Gen Pemberton is to be as signed to active duty!” What a shout would rend the Leavers! No! no!! a thousand tirce.Sj No! would make tho welkin ring with vocal thuu- ders. Have we not troubles already enough, to test the courage, fortitude and manhood of any people? Have we not drank to tho dregs the misery of bad Generalship? Why add lo our moutitain of woes the torture of Pemberton? - Pemberton who gave millions to Merchants, and mule meat to men! Pemberton who would not listen to the advice of Jos. E. Johnston, whereby he could have saved an army.—Pemberton—but we sicken, we faint— too nauseous is the draught. All we can say is: Pemberton goes back to active duty. More vic tims are wanted to swell the mournful procession tinder the banner of the gaunt spectre of starva tion, and Pemberton is the man “to rake ‘em in.” More teais. and groans, &ud wailings of despair are needed to swell the anthem of a Nation's chorus on the nest 4th of July, and Pemberton is the man to furnish the music. Our armies are too ponderous and powerful, therefore they must be reduced to ln’allbful proportions by purga tion, and Pemberton is tho purging draught. Ob, epare us this last, cruellest, unkindest cut of ail Give us anybody else, but for God's and the coun try’s sake ke-. p Pemberton's sword in its scab bard. Cenfjffcrnlc Officers from orgin cl I.oos*- ri«!<-, Ky.. Col. Cunningham of Gen. Lyon's command furnishes to the Uriel a list of all tho Confeder ate officers eaptured m Tennessee daring the re cent campaign They bad arrived at Louisville. The list was published in the Louisville Journal. a!i people subcud i qually in this war, all would be united: All wouid be brothers. The closing of the port of Wilmington, and the end of block ade running, which must follow as a consequence, will go a great ways to abate the evil to which we have just referred. The luxurious*iivers, and the admirers of costly dresses, must get ready for the change of times and circnmstauces. Tho idols they have so long worshipped must be upset, and nobler ones substituted in their hearts and their stomachs. , .72 i v.u na mr n i If we are whipped—if the Southern Confederacy must yield to the superior prowess of the Yankees, then the heads of the Confederate Government will have to shoulder a great responsibility. If :be autliori ties at Richmond are our masters are they nut respon sible formilitary results, be they good or be they bad ? WemakS all due allowance for the errors of judgment, but we do not, and will not make allowance for errors, committed without cause and forewarned. Lias Presi dent Davis and Secretary .Seddon control of the troops in the Trans-Mississippi department? Of course they have. Then why lias the thirty or fur v thousand troops under Kirby Smith. We.-t of ti e Mississippi, been pemitted to remain in idleness, while the very life of the Con ederaey was in danger? Is it replied, that Missouri was t - . be invaded? Suppose it true. Mis souri was invade*! by General Price, but did he even relieve Arkansas ? No : a hostile Army still rests at Lit tle Rock. But when Price got back to Arkansas, why was his force permitted to go into Winter quarters, when the Yankee force that had driven him out of Missouri was permitted to march round by St. Louis and Louisville, and join Thomas just in time to meet Hood and keep him out of Nashville ? Will not the Traus-Mississippi troops fight East of the Mis sissippi, for tiie whole Confederacy ? Are Richmond, Wilmington, Savannah. Charleston and Mobile, noth ing to the Trans-Mississippi troops? If not, then in the name of God, justice and humanity, what is this War carried on lor ? Has the President or the Seen-' tnrv of War ever ordered the Trans-Mississippi troops East of that river ? We ask and demand to know if any such order 1ms ever been given. We have dili gently asked for this information and have never re ceived an answer. We make it again: We demand to know the reason why the Trans-Mis.-issippi Army was permitted to rest in “inglorious ease,” after Banks was defeated, when Sherman was drawing from the Federal forces, on that side of the river, to push John son back to Atlanta. It was reported, and we have never seen it denied, that the Confederate troops West of the Mississippi, refused to cross to the East of that river. Then who is to blame ? Is Kirby Smith ?— If so, all riirht. Ifwwknow oar hearts we would be n thousand times obliged to know that the blame could be fixed on any cue .Military leader in the Confederacy. But it is not so. The President and Secretary of War had full and fiee communication with Kirby Smith for months after the defeat of Barks. They knew the situation and tin y had full power to-order his victorious and idle troops to the East of the river. They preferred to scdu a marauding party into Missouri. They did so; and what is the result ? Missouri, which was over run bv Price, has just voted to abolish Slavery by GO to 1; and Price has retired to the Indian nation, to go into winter quarters, where nobody will disturb him, if he stays there a thousand years. Price with 30,0<>Q mm returns to the Western borders of the Confederacy and stacks his arms while the very heart and soul of the Confederacy is threatened by the most formidable ar mies the Federals have ever had in the field. Now, we ask every sensible rqan who reads our paper, if somebody is not to blame ? Who is it ? It is the same authority that kept Bragg in command until Tennessee was lost It is the same authority that kept Pember ton in Vicksburg until the place and 27,00(1 Confederate soldiers were lost to the cause. It is the same authori ty that kept Forrest in Mississippi while the heart of the Confederacy was being pierced through Georgia. It is the same authority that removed Gen. Johnston from the command of the Army of Tennessee, arid i turned it over to G.-n. Hood, who, while a brave and gallant man, butchered it around Atlanta and at Nash ville. It is the . line authority that, to-day, permits Kirby Smith to remain idle while Sherman and Thomas are gathering their hosts to march on Richmondtry a movement in the rear. » AVe dislike to be tedious. We seldom write lengthy articles: but we ask the forbearance of ofir readers, for the sake of the caui-e. Official mismanagement has caused all our woes. "We do not miscalculate the good : that has b*-cn done ; nor are we so exacting as to de- I maud results which eoalu not, by any use of means at hand, be prevented. But wc do fay, while forgiving and forgeting errors that are incident to human f.ue- eignt, the heads of this Government have stepped into errors again and again which have been plainly point ed out to them. They have trusted the forbearance of the people until forbearance lias ceased to be a virtue. If President Davie and tire Secretary of War, Why <lo they fear the People f There are two or three newspapers in Georgia whose columns are continually filled with warn iiigs and threateiffngs against every den onstra tion of the people. Wby is this f C*-itaiuly Un people are very much interested in the present state of affairs. Their honor,their property, their liberty, the very existence of themselves and fam ilies are at stake, and is it wonderful that they should desire to look into their own affairs, and see how those servants to whom they have com mitted such important trusts, hive managed them ? Ah ! there is the rub. These servants of the people do not appear willing to give an account of their stewardship. They say tvery j thing is going on well. Why should the people j trouble themselves about their affairs ? Those I who manage for them know what is b- st lor them, j All the people have to do is to fight, pay their tax. I es, and lie low and keep dark, we will manage tor j them. This is in substance, the language which. J Vio.sc who profess to be in the confidence ot the 1 Administration, and who publish “by authority” I have hem holding to the people for several years, : and the people with au enduring patience, and a ] confidence in their rulers beyond that exhibited I by any other people on which the sun ever shone, j have trusted, and paid, and fought, and suffered, ■ without coinplaiuing, until many of them have : very little left but their lives and their honor.— : In these trying times, many wise and ffcod men, j believe it is time to take an observation, and see | w hither wo are drifting: To overhaul the records, and see if we can, w ho has been faithful and true to the cause and who has been acting for himself j YVe hear none talk of deserting tho great and ! glorious cause iir which we are embarked, but only i of correcting abuses, and giving a new direction to tilings that are going wrong. And who are tin men that would deny the people the right of look ing into their own affairs ? Are they not most oi them men who have comfortable offices under the Administration, where free from danger, they ftp gathering up large fortunes out of the suffering people ? Tires, men fear the people, and web they may : they do not want the books overhaul ! ed ; they do not want to give an account of tlmii j stewardship, for fear they may no longer be per- | initted to be steward. They want things to. rock I cn. they are doing well enough, but the people ! have begun to find them out, and hence they b-ar ! the people. We have not urged a convention ot the people, because we could not see how such a convention could assist us iu prosecuting the war in which we are engaged, to an honorable issue ; and to do that, we were willing to suffer and forbear as loDg as suffering would do any good. But if the people want a convention, it is their right and their privilege, and we are -pot tj be unworthy, exalted to places of high posi tion,.whilst the honest and worthy are cast down and thrown out of employment, they can not help ice!ing discouraged. But we reiterate, there is no tisioyalty to the c»use among the people. -If they could only feel assured that the resources o’ men and money put into the hands of the Administration, would not be squandered or thrown away upou unworthy favorites, but would be used to carry on the war successfully, there is no honorable sacrifice they would not be rea-^y to make. The people of Georgia who have been robbed, and insulted, and ruinnd hy the enemy, could bear it all with fortitude, if they knew that hy their suffering. th**y had procured any bentfi f ro the cause. But when they see that the sam- had ma : agernent wnich laid Georgia ooen to t 1 e enemy sent Hood's gal!ant*armv to perish in Ten nessee. they have no solace for th ir sorrows — A’hat the country needs, is wisdom Justice and prudence in he r rulers. The people are brave and patriotic, and will do their duty. If our rulers in Richmond will do theirs all will b<* well If officers in whom the soldiers have confidence •ire appointed to lead our armies, there will He hnf little straggling or desertion Bn» if self- conceit, prejudice and madness, are suffered to rule the hour in Richmond, then all is lost Augnata. By a circular fn.m Maj. Gen. D IT. Hill, which we publish elsewhere, it will be seen that all non combatants are requested to leave the city imme diately. Tins looks as if the enemy was ap proaching the city, and the forces under Gen Rill stripping for the fighf YVe do not hclieve the city will be given up without a stubborn resis- unee.

By a Proclamation from the Governor, which wo pnbii.-di to-day, it will be seen that the Leg'sla Hire will assemble in Macon on YVednesday, 13th of February, at lf> o'clock. A. M. YVe understand the Legislature is to he convened afraid to trust them. If there is any foundation | ;,t "lacon at tr.e request of miny Members. YVe for the report put forth by some of tho adminis tration journals, that there is a disposition in some quarters to sell us out, or give us away to England, France and Spain, and turn us over to colonial vassalage to those powers, then certain ly the people have a right t be heard in conven tion before the transfer is made. Or if that other report is true that our rulers have received propo sals of recognition on condition of the abolition think the change from this place will not be so ac- ceptab’e as it would seem to be at first sight YVhen the Members find out what they have to pay for board and extras; they will conclude that the swap was decidedly disadvantageous. Public .ISerring. A largo meeting of the citizens of Baldwin County was held at the Council Chamber, on Sat- of slaverj*, then the people should be heard in convention, before any such bargr.in is-made : for neither tl e President, nor Congress, nor both to gether, have any right or power to abolish slavery without the consent of the people. But why should the Administration Journals entertain such great jealousy and distrust of the people ? They are certainly as capable of judging of their own interest, as these men are to judge for them : and we do not believe there is any danger of tlieir j u! Jay last, composed of men of all past party complexions. A Preamble and Resolutions set ting forth the principles on which the war be gun. and ought to be continued, wore offered and adopted w ithout a dissenting voice. We have not time at present to publish the pro ceedings They will appear in full in our next The sentiment of the meeting was opposed to re-unioa with the U. S.

BlorJiade Funning.—While blockade running ha» contributed materially to our means of defence, and towards clothing oar soldiers, it has not been a good unnnxed with evil, says the Macon ‘Tele graph;'* but f-r that it is very doub'fr.l whether our currency would have reached present depre ciation. to which we .earnestly believe it is mainly attributable. Many of the goods, though preten ded to have been imported from Eqrope, were in leaiity irom Yaukeedom; and trading with our en- mics, readily enabled thorn to put the value upon our currency—the great depreciation of w hich has dampened the ardor and depress! d tho spirits of many au undoubted patriot. There is another view of the subject which the - writer of the above paragraph failed to consider. It is this: With the exception of the goods brought through for the Government, almost every other article imported has been a luxury. Men who have speculated and grown rich by extortion, are tho only ones who could buy these luxuries, ex- cept, perhaps. Government officers whose pecu lations lravo put money iu their purses, at the peo ple's expense. The good and true men of the Country have made every sacrifice demanded of ihem by the emergency. They deny themselves alt the luxuries while their neighbors boast, public ly that every day they enjoy them as fully a ’ n d free- ly as they did before the V. T ar. YVe have only to look around us. to see that there is no equality of sac rifice, no equality of sufferiug k for the cause, and on account of the cause. This state of things begets dissatisfaction, and leads to murmuring, and to despondency deeper than the surface. If the people, then all is lost. Magicians and necro mancers may deceive the people n r a while, but the stem truth that they are deceived will still remain. YVe may be asked, what is o.tr remedy ? YVe reply.use the forces of the Confederate Government with judg ment. Don't plaster the toes, nnd rub the fingers with stimulants, when the heart is “beating funeral marches to tbc Ajrave.” YVukc- up. Concentrate the forces while yet they can be concentrated. And, oh, for God's sake, don't wait until the Chattahoochee, the Alabama and the Savannah Rivers, shall be placed as a barrier between Richmond and the Cotton States. If we can'f whip every Y'ankec force wherever it comes agairst'ns, let ustnke them one at a time. Just now Richmond is in danger. Hurry rp the men East nnd YY’est, North and South, and put. them after Sherman. If this is nut done, lot somebody else kill the next Percy. The flgbtni Fori J'iiSirr.

From tho Chattanooga Gazette of the 5th of_ January, which we have before ns, we gather the following item of goc.l news for our sido. The Gazette says a rail was made the day before on the < Government cattle which were grazing at a point H miles from tbe town. The raiders were about 400, said to be under the command of Gatewood and Tom Polk Edmonson. They captured 800 beeves, and killed wounded and captured nearly all the guard. Gen.
