Southern population, can afford to make it so perfectly unsafe for any person or busi ness firm to give them credit, us that no argument is needed wisdom of establishing rather than destroying credit at the South. As it is not impossible that the counsel of such men as Senator Wilson, Judge Chase, and j others, would be greatly heeded by the leading getber. Our country would cease to have any j claim upon the confidence of men. It would ! make the war not only a failure, but a farce. : This language of the President, applied to j Congress, I suppose all good men in the South j will say is true orthodox doctrine. ! Then let us see how the same orthodox doc- | triuc will appl}- to the South. The motto of j the leading secessionists of the South, who I ruled our country at that time, xfas that every Tollar in iKo Co*.Ak1v*»*o^ vroo atcxHxr, anil that the poor man had as much at stake as the rich man—that if the South went down we would all go together. This motto drew thousands into the army of the South. We believe now, with the President, if in the hour of our trouble we drop our motto, it makes our acts of no effect and our motto a perfect fraud. Y'et some of our greatest men, after eight-tenths of the property of the South has been repudiated, keep crying out that it is against the Constitution of Georgia and the Constitution .of the United States to repudiate any more. I am no lawyer and know but little about law, but we had an unprecedented war and we lirrd a Convention that repudiated the negro and State debt, which we suppose was all un- [Oct.26-6m. I constitutional. The North did not object to ' but required it. They said it was unconstitu tional for the State to raise money’ to sup port a rebellion. We, by our acts in Conven tion, have agreed to the North’s construction, and we cannot believe now, after they’ have decided it was wrong and we have assented to it, that they would tuz-n right around and say it “was right for a company of men or an indi vidual to raise money for the same purpose that they have condemned in a State.

It being understood that onr honest and patriotic Chief Magistrate, having been driven from the position to which he had been called by the people, by military force, would leave our city on Frida}- for Augusta, the citi zens of Milledcevflle turned out en masse to visit him on Thursday night. The campus in front of the Executive Mansion was filled with citizens. The Governor appearing upon the front step3 of the Mansion was greeted with three cheers by the people. Tbe Mayor of the citv. Mr. T. Newell, in a short but appropriate address informed the Governor that his neigh bors and feilow-citiz c ns had come to take an affectionate leave of him for the present, and also to testify their unqualified approbation of his conduct as Governor of Georgia. Gov. Jenkins thanked the citizens for their approval of his conduct, and then in a speech of con siderable length, told his audience herw hard he had endeavored to get on in peace with the military commanders : that he had received letters fiom every part of the State asking him to hold on to tbe office as long as possible.— He said that he had submitted to many things that were very humiliating and disagreeable to him for the sake of the people of Georgia, and it was only when asked to do what his conscience and his oath of office forbade that he refused. He said he belived Gen. Meade was doing what he bt-lieved to be his duty, and that his conduct towards him had been marked by great politeness and courtesy. The Governor exhorted the people to stand firm in. defence of their constitutional rights, and trust to Providence and a returning sense of justice in their countrymen to vindicate ts~ir wrongs. The vast crowd was greatly affected by tbis address of their beloved Governor, and retired to their homes more than ever impressed with admiration of their patriotic Governor, and with loathing and detestanon of tyrany.
