The consequence was that no •operate action was taken in dictating terms of peace, but the Confederation carried on a success, ful war and obtained a honorable peace at its close by establishing a government of the United States. Vr e are glad to see that Gov- Brown sets himself right on this question in a letter written to Gen. Colston. See what he says on the separate State action advocated by tbs He!den party in North Carolina - But while these are believed to be the views of a vast majority of tbe people of Georgia a? to the course proper to be pursued by the Confederate Government, neither her people at home, her gal lant troops in the* field who have so tong borne - the privations and the hardships of the camp, nor her government, has any intention to ignore the Confederacy or to open negotiations as u separate State. Georgia entered into the revolution with her Confederate sisters, and she will standby them to the last, and will never agree to any >erm3 of settlement which do not meet the approbation and secure the independence of all the States, poinding the border States which choose to cast their lot with the Confederacy and hare its fortune for weal or woe. The motto inscribed upon Georgia's proud ban ner should be; Perpetual separation from the rot ter. and corrupt Government of the United States tko maintainunce of the sovereignty of the States and the indepondence of the Confederate States, with a faithful observance by that Government of all its obligations to respect the rights and liber ties of the people of tho States. Georgia was among the first to take up arms to maintain those principles, tnd she will be the last 1o lay down her arms till they are established. She wont into the revolution a sovereign State, to battle for indepen - dence, and her glorious troops will stand side by side with their comrade 3 from other States, till she comes out of it a sovereign State, confederated with sovereign sister States. She will have no Dictator, no King, no Emperor, no Mazier. # Rev, Dr. Harrison's Lecture. Rev. Dr. Harrison entertained h large audi ence at Temperance Hall with an admirable address on Tuesday evening, on Miscegena tion. The proceeds of the leetuyo ($269,00,) Were distributed to indigent soldiers’ families. The speaker has most perfect cord rol nfawell balauced mind, and on this occasion (as on all others when it has been our good fortune to hear him) he threw a flood of light and learning on his subject, Hi3 delivery i ; agree able, and language unexceptionable, using the precise words to convey his thoughts, and when an idea is once advanced, his audience feel that it cannot be improved in diction His style is so easy, pure and natural that his ideas appear to flow spontaneously and without effort or previous study ; but when his discourse is taken as a whole, it shows method, profound research and great learning. In diction, method, style and ienruing. Dr, Harrison is an admirable speaker. His l«ctvn?e auggw**.* to vi- ■an inew, willcft af fords a wide field for usefulness in our city. Lst the Mechanics’ Union, which is doing so muoh good in distributing charities among th® indigent families of the craft, invite Dr. Harrison, Dr- Marshall, Dr, Higgins. Dr Hawks, Rev. Mr, Key, Rev, Mr. Devotie and others to deliver a series of lectures weekly before them at Temperance Hall and appro priate the proceeds to indigent detailed sol diers and their families, and Indigent mechan ics, and their families, or such other useful charitable objects aS the Union may suggest. Let the leading objects of these lectures be connected in some way with the dignity of la bor and the encourgement of ths mechanical arts of the South, showing their incalculable power in a nation. We have seen one of the gentleman named, and he argrees to deliver the first lecture in the series on the subject stated, and doubtless the Union can get tbe other gentlemen nani^d. We hope the city pres? will lend its influ ence to this noble work. We give the follow • inn abstract of Dr. Harrison’s, lecture which will be concluded to-morrow : ABSTjs CT nr LiTTURE O , MIOIOEVATiOV. The present war has added at least tko words to the vocabulary of the English lan guage—word? -likely to be incorporated into j the tongue and to "survive the war, viz: ] detdJte and raise eg •nation. The first of these, j awkward ns it looks in print, i? a legitimate j word, derived, regularly from the'Greek verb *kid*dzo h which mssrir to scatter, dissipate, disperse We find thr word -hedadzo used prei.;,ely j cnr.e ~t a defr.it, rout of an army in Jx&ek ant hors. For example, Herodotus. reterritf« ’to the debated-soldiers of the lonian*, after Uu tail at riarflio, says : Those who e?« <ype*t .from the battle wore dispersed e. skedaddled) throughout the citiesf Her. Terp. 102. So also, I’hoeyai des, 4, 56: ,v :! A garrison which offered resist ance about Oolyrta and Aphrodisio, though it terrified by an attack the Mattered (i, e. the skedaddled) crowd of light armed «tddkus. yet retreated again,fre Again, dc-: crihir.g tfie 'Sticking of a city, he says: fi thy. rest of the mr.ltit'.tdc spread (i c. skedaddled) in all diiße turn alike.' 1, Ll 2. Thus the word, being of good parentage, and expressing the idea very forcibly, is destined to live. The second word nuseeyenmwn is a com “pound of tho Lntiti s ?rb misceo to'mingle, and a race—-hence. -the word moans tbe mingling of races. The word emciccmatkn. hitherto used, properly refers to the mining cf metals, and is specifically applied to the gath ering of gold dust by forming an amalgam v» rth quicksilver. the doctrine of m .roe a-?io tic-:. ns propounded at the North is «imply the union of the white and negro races upon the supposition that the qualities in which tbe whites are deficient will be supplied by the negroes, and Abhorrent a? this ’ I '■ *-’•:© may,.appear io viu time has . erne - bar. u gravely advof**c'yljg irvir.;-;- states'- j ‘’u-n. a..thcrs_. and people of innueace at the j f 41 lC r ®A»«d to practice the cense- ! ’ei- l * t0 f cw * Ai=ation can scarcely be con- ! d< RF " the nt *te bosslble result will be the ‘ extinction ot tbe olerk race flnf > r . . he i ...» race, and the moral ’ iocial > iDa meGtai debasement of Hie while ' The population cf the world has been ui- I 7ided by Blumenback into five classes, ov * I rAces : The Caucasian. Mongolian, American. (Indian) Malay. Etbiopie or African. Os; these there are torn two pure race's: tbe Cau casian and the African. Examined in the light of science, the Caucasian race stajtd? first in mental and moral endowments. &n<i i the African is tbe lowest in tbe scale. Dr. j Morton, a distinguished ethnologist derter mined tho capacity of the skulls ot these fDe races, lie filled the skull with white pepper seed, and ascertained the capaciti - ' of the Af rican to be 78 cubic inches ; the American Indian 30 in.; the Malay, 81 .; the Mongolian, 83 ; the Caucasian, 87. Thus, there is a dif ference of no less than 9 cubic inches between the capacity of the ’African skull and that ot the Caucasian. The inferiority ot the Alri can, demonstrated by science, is fuller proven hv the history of the race. Nowhere has the Negro prospered out of a state of servitude. Barbarism or slavery ia the alternative—if he i? rescued from barbarism, be mnst be reduced to slavery—if he is released trom slavery lie relapse? into barbarism. It is true, that the negro he? not al ways prospered in a state of slavery. Hu mane masters and proper treatment are ■neces sary for the possible development of tbe Afric&n race. Asa proof of this, we re fer to the statistics of several nations. Great Britain, for example, imported into her West India Islands no less than 1,700,000 negroes from Africa, during the period of 178 years, the duration of slavery in those Islands. At the expiration ©f that period, when emanci pation took- place, there were but 060.000 ne groes remaining in the British West Indies! Thus, allowing no increase whatever, during ITS years, British slaveholders destroyed 1,040,000 negroes by their inhumanity! If the inerese of these negroes had been one half as great as those in these Confederate States, there were not lta?. than 8.000,000 of negroes destroyed by tho British system of slavery! Nor is the picture more_cheering in Brazil, the only empiw* besides our own, where African slavery exists, except Cuba. Brazil, in 1330 it is estimated, had not less than ; 2,000.000 of slaves: she imported from 1830 to 1867, not less than 50,000 annually from Africa, yet at that period. 1857, the number of slaves in Brazil amounted to only 2,600,000, being an increase of about 30 per cent, in 27 years, whilst there wa? an accession of not less than 1,300,000 slaves from Africa. We cannot account for this absolute decrease by supposing that the negroes are manumitted, for-in 1830 there were 380,000 free negroes, and in 1857, only 1,120 000, a legitimate increase only There can be nr. question, however, that the policy of the Brazilian government tends to ultimate abolition, and in this fact is found the chief cause of the decrease of negro population. Wherever the negro can readily procure hisfreedom, or is elevated to social equal ity kith the white race. the laws of nature doom his Mice to extinction. Thus, in Brazil, the negro buys his freedom readily, and when free is socially the equal of the white man. Any office, civil or .military’-, in the gift of the crown is open to bun. This fact accounts for the diminution of thft race, and now that the slave-trade is suppressed in Brasil, the logic of statistics demonstrates the approach of negro annihilation in the Empire. Jamaica, one of the West India Islands, had 311,000 negroes emancipated in 1833—in 1844, roars afterward, the census showed but 293,000 negroes on the Island. Thus there was a decrease of 18,000 in ten years, and six years after the census of 1844. the idleness, filth, and diesipltion. of the ne groes exposed them to the ravages of cholera and small-pox,, and upwards of 40,000 perish ed ia a single season—more than one-tenth of the whole population! In New York city, by the census of 1850, (here were 13,800 free negroes-—in 1860, the census showed only 10,800—-a decrease of 23 per cent, in 10years, In 40 years the negro population of New York, not swelled by accessions from abroad will be extinguished ! This is the history of every attempt at eleva ting the negro to the blessings of freedom. By nature improvident, with a small brain, no inventive genius, no administrative ability, if he be not a dependent in the family of his master, he dwindles away, and is finally swal lowed up by the operation of causes which neither the white nor the black man can resist, because they are the laws of nature, M e have, however, a notable instance of the experiment of negro freedom and capacity for self-government, in the history of IJayti, that j magmiioent Island of tne v\ esc Indies, which In fruitfulness is exro]Je4 by no portion of Hip earth There the favorite, g.sheme oi thr Ab olition is ts has been carried out, au.J with-what resu its Y Tire stem logic- of figures must here, too. bear testimony \n the folly of mart, and ; the madness vrhi.li urt - nme? to subvert the established order of naturae laws. and sul.*- | stmiie rhe chimeras of erafr.p'd brains in their •sb c ad \> hat {in' s been the result of ne^Toin dependence in Hayt’i? In 1790, the French portion of this inland then called St. Domingo, had a population 0f590.000- after 70 years of practical iudeponder.ra, and do years acknow ledged freedom, the population is estimated at 550,000 —a n_ i nor ease of about 9 per cent, for 70 years, or \ of 1 per cent, per annum whereaa the inoueaac of the negro ra<v*. a* ihe South dm iny the same rime lias been OOCr per cent., or more than 3 per cent, per an mum !

In 1860, 29 per cent, were mulattoes, yet there were j t&utr mulattoes in 1860 than in 1850!

More than four thousand years , igo lbs Almighty declared by the mouth ot Soah that Canaan >!mul«l be the .serro.-t of j servant? i. e, the shtce of his brethren. The descent of the African negro is plainly traced to Gasman, the son of Ham. They were ex pelled from the land of Canaan by Joshua, and migrated south-westward to To we have the testimony of the Scriptures, Herodotus, Josephus, Philo Judaeus, and others, in Africa they are in bondage to one another. Asa race, they have nfl language—no history—no government. Barbarism is their normal estate—slavery t moral, iutelli < tual and physical perfection. With this degraded, inferior race the Yan kees propose to mingle tbe pure blood of the Caucasian. The Caucasian has a language, a history, and a government. Take our own language as an example, for the pedigree of languages is the pedigree of races. By suc cessive steps we ascend from modern English to Anglo-Saxon, thence to the Teutonic tongues —the Gothic, parent of all. Here we find a large family of cognate tongues: Ger man. Dutch. Danish. Swedish, Polish. From .the Gothic we ascend to the Sclavonic, thence to the Scythian, or Tartar languages. Here we find a marked similarity with the Hebrew, and as we trace the history of language we trace also the history of the Caucasian race. From America to England, thence to Germa ny, thence to t he shores of the Black Sea. and finally to Armenia, on one of whose moun tain?, Ararat, the ark of Noah, rested, and there Japliei established his family. If we return to the. period of the Norman conquest, 1066 A. IX. we have the Norman French in fused into Anglo-Saxon. Frbm the French we descend to the Latin, thence to the Greek, from the Greek to the Phrcnician, and thence to the Hebrew again. Now, to this Caucasian, or Japhetic race, God has given the dominion of the world. -God shall enlarge Japhctf say? the. inspired patriarch, -and he shall dwell in the tents of,Shorn, v i. e. he shall be i tbe lawgiver and ruler of Shorn. How re markably has this prophecy been fulfilled! '[From the Memnlm Appeal.! Where Will (He Blow Fall f We regret very much to see the persis tent effort ot' a large portion of' the press, and particularly our lliehmond eotempo raries, in endeavoring to create the im pression that all the attention of the Fed eral commander in chief, and the whole of the military energies and resources, of ! the Federal Government, are to he em ployed in an attempt to overthrow the Confederate during the coming campaign. Public expectation “ has, by the representations that have been made, become directed almost wholly to the sit uation in Virginia, and if we thought the attention of our authorities was as exclu sively given in the same way, fears as to the safety of our armies at other points would be justifiable. We hope this is not the ease, yet cannot but regret the prom inence that is given to the movements in Virginia. We admit the capture of Richmond is ardently desired'by the Lincoln govern ment. It is a part of the history of the struggle that no less than seven different attempts to accomplish its downfall have been i rust rated*--that seven pet generals have been successfully retired in disgrace in consequence of the failure of movements under their direction—that hundreds of millions in money has been spent, and that the hones of more than a hundred thous and Federal soldiers, who have fallen be fore our gallant armies, are bleaching on the hills and in the valleys between the Potomac and the north bank of the James. All this is line, but as great efforts have I been expended in other directions, and j we may reasonably expect, nay, it is mor ally certain, they will be again. ! Whether a defeat of our army in the j .East. is regarded by Lincoln as of more } importance than that of any other of our i armies, or whether he would estimate the capture of Richmond as of greater moment than a dismemberment of the Confedera cy by a successful advance from the Fed eral position on the* Tennessee, it is use less to speculate. Grant has the choosing and he will select that point where the least preparation is made to receive him. Or, he may mass an immense force East and West, and make simultaneous moves. I The option is with him, and we cannot i have it otherwise. The capture of Richmond would prove | of greater importance to our enemies in a political point of view, than in any other sense. With our capital in their posses sion we would find additional influences brought to bear against us abroad. Rut as a material loss, its fall would in no man ner compare with the disadvantages which would result from a defeat of Gen. John ston, and the occupation of Georgia that would follow. The first point is near our 1 boundary lines; the second is our great center. To lose the one would be as the | loss of n limb: should wc be driven from I the other, it will be a terrible blow at our j most vital point. This we must admit, i and our enemy knows it. What, then, are we justified in antici pating, uud to what extent will it be pru dent to either not strengthen, or weaken, other points, to render our arms invulner able in Virginia? We have noted carefully the statements i as to the movements of troops in the West. made by the journals of the Northwest ; that have so frequently fallen into our bauds. These have from time to time I ■ developed the concentration of quite large ' : numbers of troops at ihe camps of in | struetion in the different States during the winter. They have also betrayed, occasionally of late, to the careful obser ver, the movements of these troops. The going home and returning of re-enlisted veterans has also been chronicled. All these items we have put toget her in making ! up our opinion. And, in addition, it is | well known io all that Grant’s enormous j army of the Mississippi has been with- j drawn from that section to the Tennessee ; line That ail of these—'the new troops ' from the camps of instruction, the re en listed veterans of ihe Western Federal armies, ana the remains of Roseeraas’ Tennessee, and Grant’s Mississippi armies —are now in Middle Tennessee, garrison-) ing the various cities and towns and hold-, mg positions on the river .from Loudon to Florence, but all within supporting dis tance, and where they can be easily con- i centrated, we have no doubt, We repeat ! we have carefuUy scanned the Northwest tern journals with reference to this matter mil our opportunities have been great, find we cannot withdraw our attention from ; what we believe to be important facts, for the purpose of giving it entirely to the po- j sition of affairs in Virginia. Entertaining these views we cannot j avoid regretting to see attention so par ticularly directed to one point. A con- ' centration of our entire means of defense j is not necessary, at any place threatened to repel the foe. We must have the lighting material, if properly distributed, to meet him successfully wherever lie ; may choose to advance. And this wc would have so disposed of. Instead of concentrating our detached forces almost wholy at one point, wc would prefer to see all our great armies strengthened, so j that whenever and wherever the blow is struck we shall be ready to meet it. Wc would ask, thcreiorc that our authorities do not lose sight of everything else through a desire to save the* capital, which in our opinion, we can better af ford to lose than other points just as seriously threatened, and call upon our c-otemporaries to glance over the whole military situation. A little more diver sity of general attention can at least work no harm. lEELSORAFEIS. Reports of the Press Association. Entered according to act of Congress in tho year 1803, by J.
