After a suspension of two months, we
unfurl the old banner, and, under our old
name, resume our weekly publication. It
is true we have not yet been furnished
with mail facilities by which onr paper
can reach interior and distant portions of
the State, but we have strong hopes, now
that a Provisional Governor has been ap
pointed for the State that the Post Office
Department will soon put in operation the
postal machinery in Georgia. In this re
lief we resume publication, I or the pres
ent we will publish but a half sheet; but
in a few weeks we hope to be able to fur- j
uish our readers with a large and band- j
some sheet at Hlie low prico»ol '1 href, i
Dollars per year. AVe would thank
such of our contemporaries as see this is- !

To make her groat and prospermia. in short to
make her a model State, was his ambition whilst
he was her Chief-Magistrate. In this laudable
ambition lie was in a fair way to be successful
when interrupted by t! e withering blast of war.
When the late war commenced Georgia was fast
becoming a model State. All of her public works

It'is the anxious wish of Gov.* Brown that every
good an 1 wis“ citizen of Georgia, who has not
been excluded by the I’resid'-nt's proclamation,
will qualify himself and take an active pais in en
deavoring to restore our beloved State to her
former prosperity and glory. Gov. Brown has
now and always has had some very bitter and rua
ligrant enemies, but he has also many, very many,
warm and devoted friends : and what is strange,
his enemies are his enemies for the very same rea
sons that Us friends are his friends : on account
of his virtues. We have no doubt, However,
that it is the sincere desire and prayer of. a very-
large majority of the people of Georgia that he
