KKMAHKSOl'* lllE UOVKUNOK MUSIC AND PYROTECHNICS, Lust ovening, through the exertions of u low citizens, an impromptu call was made upon Uov. Johuson at the Puluaki by a delegation ol loyal men, accompanied by the line band of tho 47th Pennsylvania Veteran Volunteers, now stationed iu this city. The object of the call was simply to manifest the joy ol the people at the return of a loyal civil magistrate, who, in a measure, holds the future destiny of Georgia in his hands, and to pay the Governor the complimout of a sere nude. After the band had perfoimod several ap propriate pieces of music, loud calls and cheers were given lor the Governor, who at length ap peared, and in a few brief remarks thanked the assemblage for their demonstration ol respe. t.and intormed them that, being wearied with traveling he begged to be excused from making any formal speech. Before bidding the crowd good night, the Governor informed them that it would be his pleasure to address the people to night at the Theatre, where he would slate his position and give his views on the state of the country. Upon retiring, the crowd applauded and cheered the Governor lustily, while John son square was ablaze with the discharge ol tire works, the shooting of rockets, roman candles, and the illumination of blue lights, gave the scone a very brilliant appearance and made that vicinity of Savannah lively for otto hour. At a late hour the crowd quietly dis persed to their homes, well pleased with the impromptu ovation to the Governor. Governor Johnson was afterwards introduced to a large number of army officers, each ol whom ex presses the wish that the day was near when bayonets would not be necessary to maintain order in Georgia. The Governor, who is a most unostentatious gentleman, spoke very encouragingly of the future, und shook hands with all who were introduced.

We regret tho the government, and slavery has given way. He could not if ho would remand it u> its for mer-tutus. lie knew that some whom he now addressed looked upon him a' a great people's nun and a radical. But, however unpleasant it might ho to them, he bad no hesitation in saying that hetore and alter ho entored public life ho was opposed to monopolies and perpetuities und entails. For this ho used to ho dttnoun cod as a demagogue. Wo had a monopoly South in slaves. Though ho had bought and held slave?, he had never sold one. From Magna Chnrta we had derived our ideas of freedom of speech, liberty of the press and unroasotiahlo soarches, and that private property should not be lakeu for public uses without just compensa tion. Jlc had those notions fixed in his mind, and was therefore opposed to class legislation.— Doing providentially brought to his present con dition, he intended to c*ert tho power and in fluence of tho government so as to place in power tho popular heart of this nation. Ho proceeded on tho principle that tho great masses aro not tho miwhrouins about a stump, which wot weather supplies. JIo believed that this nation was rent ou a grout mission—to afford an example of freedom and substantial happiness to all tho Rowers of the enrtl .

He did not intend to servo any particular clique or interest, lie would say to tbu delegation that slavery is gone as an institution. There was no hope that tlie people ot South Carolina could he admitted into the Senate or tlie House of Repre sentatives until they bad afforded evidence by their conduct of this truth. The policy, now tliut the rebellion is suppressed, is not to testore the Stale government through military rule, hut by tbu people. While war has emancipated slaves, it has emancipated u large number of white n't-n. Ho would talk plain, as tho delega tion hud said that was what they desired. He could go to iiicii who hud owned lifly or u hundred slaves, und who did ii t care us much for the poor white man us they did for the negro. Those who own the land have liie capital to em ploy help, und thereiore some of our Northern friends are deceived when they, living afar oil', tiunk they can exercise a greater control over the Ireedmen than the Souil.i rn men who have been reared whet* the institution of slavery has prevailed. Now be did not want the lute slave holders to control the negro voles unuiiisf white men. Let ouch Slute judge of the depository of its own noliticul power, lie was for emancipa tion. He was for emancipating the white mail as well as the black. Mr. Holmes asked: Is not that altogether ac complished ? • The President replied that he did not think the question tally settled. The question as to whether the black man shall be engrailed in the constitu tion will be settled as we go along. He would not dt gut o the fact that while lie had been per secuted and denounced at the South as a traitor, lie loved the grcul muss of the Southern people. He opposed tlie rebellion at its breaking out, und fought it everywhere, and now wanted the princi ples ot the government carried out und main tained oiuerly and well behaved, and our cilizetiu were pleased with their demeanor TIicBcnilcmanlj- conduct of tho olliccra Imvo won for them n host of friends of both sexes in Auvunnnb.

"What docs the I’rmdenl Buy about nogr« suffrage f” I asked ol tho chairman of one of tho numomui delega tions of Boutho'uori in the oily. "Well, bo don't •ay much; ho asks us if iisoomi fair to utuko the negro fight and then refuse to lot him vot»; and he lulls us that protty niiioh all you Northerners seem to be in favor of letting him vote, and hr »uy# |tA<if thnuijh he ham'i let him rote iu A’orlh Carolina, hr way </o so louicw/icre rite," lu to- TheVn.»id..|U mimk'dllwl llm friction ol tho "l l »otlotlio idea i,i tlioao Jut itnlloin.d word,, I rnhcliimi liud rubbl'd uluvory mil, hut il would bo “■* ■»* '“*> ■ “now llio Pni.{.l.,i, r.m.rln„l lo » heller m> to decline by law.

Judge Frost said, Hiibslunttallv : The object of our prayer is Um appointment ol a Goverupr.— The Stme of South (’urolitia will uecept these conditions <n order that law and order may he restored, and that entcipii.se and industry may bo directed to useful ends, \Yu desire restora tion as soon as possible It is the part of wisdom to make the best ol rimittistaiious. Certain de lusions have been dispelled by tho revolution; umong them, that slavery is an eU-meiit of politi cal strength and timtal power. It is very certain that the old notion respecting States rights, in the maintenance of which those who made the rebellion in South Carolina erred, has ceased to exist. Another delusion, viz: rhut cotton is king, lots likewise vanished in mist. Wo aro to come buck with these notions dispelled aud with a new system of labor. The people of South Carolina will cordially co-operate with the government in making that labor effective and elevating tho negro as much as they can. It is, however, more a work of time than the labor of cnthitsi- neiti and fanaticism. Tho people ot' the South have the largest interest in the question. NYe are willing to eo-o: orate for scliisli, if for no higher motives. Wc have taken the liberty, encouraged l»v your kindness, to throw out sug gestions by which the policy of the government will be most surely and effectually subserved. I repeat that the new system of labor is to he inaugurated by sober, sound and discreet judg ment. The negroes are ignorant. Their minds are much inllamed with liberty. They are apt to confound liberty wiilt license. Their great idea is, I fear, that freedom consists of exemption front work, lie will take in good faith und carry out your intentions with zeal, and hope for the best; and none will rejoice more than the people of the South if emancipa tion proves successful. Freedom to the slave is freedom to the master, provided you can sup ply a motive for industry. The people ol'South I’arolitia, from their fidelity to honor, have sub mitted to great sacrifices ; they endured all. II c arc delealed and conquered by the North, who are too strong for its. 'Rite same good taith which animated them in the contest will not ho found wanting iu their pledge of loyal support to tlie government. There may grow out of this blessings which you have not foreseen, and some pleasing rays now illumine the horizon. I suppose the oath of allegiance wiil he taken with as much unanimity in South Carolina as anywhere else, and we will submit to the eon <iiti«>it of things which providuncolut* assigned, and endeat or to heliev e All discords harmony not understood. And pariiaLtwil universal good. II e cheerfully accept the measures recom mended, and would thank you t<> nominate at your convenience a Governor to entry out the wishes you have expressed. President Johnson asked the delegation to submit whom they would prcier to have as Provisional Governor. To thi- they replied they had a li t of live men. viz Aiken, iMoClahanv. Hove*. Colonel Manning, late Governor, and 15. F IVrrv. All ol them were good men, luit woo had been more or less iioolvcd in the rebellion. .Mr. Perry was a District Judge in tin* < 'onlcdonicy until a few weeks before it said to have always been a and a gentleman of .strict integrity.

Mr. iMiiutmr was undouhtodly told that hutwcon Itimsulf and tho Presidont tlioro is no difference of opinion on thu question that justico and expediency aliku would sanction 'tho extension of tho suffrage to nogroo*. Judgo Yorgor, of Mississippi, was to'd that no good reason, aside from tho prejudices ol the people, could be given for excluding them from the right of suff rage; and it was said to an Alabama gentleman that he would ito well to use his influence in preparing tho minds ot his peo ple lor quiet acquiescence in general suffrage. The President, however, is at present clearly of opinion tliut ho has no power to say that the negroes ><111111 vote. The States have never been out of the Union, though tlicit “proper prnctieal relations" to the Union have been, for the tinto being, suspended. He can do no more, he holds, than set them hack whero they were before they passed ordinances of Secession. Yet, inasmuch ns the people of the State have been in rebellion, ho can, as the executive head of thu Government, say that, as punishment fur crime, they shall not now roto. He cun '• nltoltl the right of suffrage from certain cwisacs heretofore exercising it, but he cannot extend it other classes excluded by Btute con stitutions.

They meant, mainly, to force the President mto extending the privi* lego of fufl'rngo to tho negroes of the South.

To the Citizens of Geor gia ! The termination of a sanguinary contest, which for the past four years has presented an impassable barrier to all social or commercial intercourse between the tw o great sections of our country, having at length happily cleared away all obstacles to a removal of tho*> rela tions which formerly hound us together in a fraternal union, I take the earLcst opjiorl unity afforded me by this auspicious event, to greet my Southern frietnls, and to solicit from them a renewal of that extensive business connection which for a quarter ol a century lias been uninterrupted save by the great public ca lamity lo which I have adverted. 11 is scarcely necessary, oil the threshold of a busi ness reunion. I should repent the warning so often giv en to my friends -to In-ware or all those spurious and deleterious conqiouiids which, under the s|x>cious and false titles of Imported Wines. Brandies, Holland Gin, Liquors Jci\, have been equally destructive to the health of our cltk'en* an prejudicial to the interc-ts of the legitimate Importer. Many years of my past life have been expended in an open and candid attempt to expose these wholesale frauds; no timo nor c\|iciisc has been spared to accom plish this salutary purpose, and to place liefore un friends and the public generally, at the lowest possible market price, and iu such quantities as might -nit their convenience, a truly genuine iuqmrtnl article. Twenty-five years' business transactions with the largest and most re«|icctal>lo exporting houses iu France aud Great Hiitain have nfi'ordcd me iiiHiirpns«- ‘‘d facilities lor supplying our home market with Wines, Liquors and l.lqmitres of the best and most approved brand* iu Kurojic, iu addition to my own di« tillery in Holland for the inaiiufactiire of tin* "Schie dam Schnapps." The latter, so long tested and approved by the medi cal Faculties of tin* United States, West Indies and South America as an invaluable Therapeutic, a whole* some, pleasant and (Mirfectly safe beverage iu all cli mates and during nil seasons, quickly excited the cu pidity of the home manufacturers and venders of a spurious article under the same inline. I trust licit I leave, after uiiirli toil and expense, *»ur- I'ott tilled all my importations with safeguards and di rections which, with ordinary circumspection, will in- sine their delivery, as I receive them from Europe, to all my customers. I would, however, reiotniijeinl iu all cases wln’r*; it is possible, that orders hi; -cut direct to iqy Depot, Beaver struct. New York, or that purchases tie made of my accredited agents. In addition to a large stock of Wines, Brandies. ,tc., in wood. I have a considerable supply of old tried for eign wines, embracing vintages of many past years, j Bottled up before the commencement of the war,which | I can especially recommend to all connoisseurs of these rare luxuries. In conclusion, 1 would s|iecially call the early atten tion of my Southern customers to the advantage to tn* derived hy transmitting their orders without loss ot time, or catting personally at the Depot, in order to in sure tho fulfillment of their favors limn the present large ami wuIIoeiected assortment.
