IVc omit the Pt.ciflc States, (California r.nd Oregon,) as entirely exceptional, and of no value for com parison. They have been filled up by emigra tion from all parts or the world, tho South in cluded, in almost equal proportions. Let us take the tliree great sections—the En gland, Middlo and Northwestern States, and wo shall aee that with the benefit of all the im mense foreign immigration, thoy hnye received an access to their population in the "last ten year's, amounting to short of 37 percent, while the slavcbolding States, without this iinmigra tion have increased 34 j per cent Thus, it is made apparent that but for the foreign immi gration which has swelled the Northern num bers immensely, the slaveholding States with this “terrible incubus” resting upon them, would have far outstripped the “free North' the progress of population. The abolition sta- tieians will, sputter in vain over these figures to maintain a solitary theory they may advance of the depressing effect of African servitude on the fortunes of the South.

The Connecticut .election will, satisfy every sensible tuan in the seceded or border States, who lias been indulging ti c hope'of recon struction, of the utter absurdity of all such an tidpationa.. In this contest there was a thor ough union of all the anti-abolition forces, and entire confidence of success. The Black Re publicans themselves expected to be beaten.—* The party was believed to be divided by the partial distribution of the spoils, and by the development of the administration policy,— Moreover, they had seen tho triumph of aboli tionism rend the Union in twain, almost' aiini- . hilatc every branch of mechanical industry in their towns and cities, and turn thousands of industrious operatives out Into the streets to idleness and penuiy. The newspapers were full of alleged secessions from the Republican ranks. It was confidently declared that the people had~ been deceived and betrayed info voting for Lincoln. They had no idea what they were doing, and what was to be the effect of their vote. If they had dreamed, for one moment, that the election of Lincoln was to be followed by such consequences, they would never have voted for him. But they had been told, by their leaders, that the Republican par ty was the only national party in existence, and seeing all ths rest divided and factious, they naturahy fell info the mistake of sustain-' ing Lincoln, Give them but one more chance, says the co-operationist, and they will bury Republicanism too deep for resurrection.— Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and the old North Slate, thought it foul shame in the Cot ton States to dissolve the Union just oil account of s temporary aberration of the Northern people, which a little time would cure. Now, what shall wo say, Mr. Reactionist ? II Connecticut were ever going to repudiate political abolitionism, would she not have done it under tho immediate pressure of the horri ble public and privato calamities it has brought upon them ? Would she not hare done it even under the ordinary reactionary influence fol lowing the mcreexhauttion of a party which has just carried a Presidential election ? The history of parties in the United States may be safely challenged for an exception to the rule that a triumphant party, in a great national election^ will experience reverses immediately afterwards.

' Tho parting of the Company from friends must have been pretty hard, if we are permitted to judge by the re marks of one young man, who said that he would be willing to attack Fort Pickens twice and fail each time, rather than to go through the trying ordeal of leaving friends again. IVhat we say of the Southern Rights Guards is applicable to all tho companies with whom we are acquainted. In the “ Bainbridgo Inde pendents” we noticed Col. Munncrlyn, member to tho Convention from Decatur county, who is one of the wealthiest planters in the State, and tho whole company is composed of plan ters’ 60ns and worthy members' of society.— In tbo Quitman Guards,- of Forsyth, we ob serve the same self-sacrificing spirit, as mem bers of the bar, merchants and planters are marching side by side witji the honest, liard-tis- ted mechanic, who has no pecuniary interest to maintain, but the honest conviction of right. The Washington Rifles, Captain Jones, -of Sandersville, arrived at half past twelve, and were escorted to the camp ground, by tho Ma con Guards, who were kept on duty until their arrival This is a tine looking body ol men, and appear able to undergo almost any amount of hardship. CAMP OGLETHORPE. Here all appears -bustle and confusion-— There is a large crowd of spectators on the gTound who are evidently well pleased with the unusual sight of over ltidO men, rushing by in all variety of uniform. In one place tents arc going up, at another, some young soldier is frying his hand at cooking for the members -of his “mess," and the left-handed compliments which he receives, are not Well calculated to make him over vain of bis debut in the culina ry deportment One soldier remarked that he was cooking for bis “mess” and it toould bo a before lie got through. In passing through another company’s tents, we overheard one of them enumerating what he had for dinner. The bin of fare, as reported, was hardly up to the La nier House; but like other instances, the fault was properly attributed to the cook who is get ting his hand in, and will do better in.time. The Drill of the Oglothorpe Infantry. Tho Oglethorpe ♦liuniry. Capt. Clara, of Augusta, marched out from their quarters at 4 I*. M., to drill This was the ouly - company that drillod yesterday, and the way in which they performed their evolutions, made some of the boys look shady. Augusta nuy well be proud of the Oglethorpes, for a, finer looking or a better drilled corps is not on Camp Oglo thorpe to-day. The election of Colonel of the Regiment comes off this morning, and at present it promises to be an exciting aflair, as there arc several candidates in the field. It is under stood that Gov. Brown will review the troops at 4 o’clock this evening. ing w —nrd without halt or hesitation, over the fragmentary ■ Q f t j lc coun t r y i the Const! tution, and all their own interests>— Ito you now tell us about reaction, or will such CUTTING OFF THEIR OWN FINGERS. The refusal of the Free-Labor States to con sent to the further Territorial extension -of Sla very has been made the occasion, or at least the.pretense, for tho attempt now'on foot to break up the Union—that Union which hither to has been the pride and boast of the Ameri can people, and the hope everywhere of alt who have faith in the possibility of popular nelfgov- ernment. The Disunionists also allege a dispo sition on the part of the Free-Labor States to employ the powers of the Federal Government not merely for the restriction of Slavery within its existing limits, but so as gradually lo con tract those limits, and to drive that institution, by degrees, into a corner. How, under the Fed eral Constitution^ tills object is to bo accom- tion forever? The Connecticut election is an other evidence that the South did not move for her own self-protection a day too soon. This result will doubtless stiffen the backs of tho cocrcionists, and materially increase the probabilities of a bloody arbitrament of the sectional strife. . SECTIONAL HATRED. • • Looking at the present embittered condition of sentiment among the southern people to ward their fellow countrymen, somo have ar gued that this, is a hatred arising altogether from the antagonism bolween slaveiy and free institutions; others that it is a mere temporary excitement, to pass away as suddenly as it has come to their notice. Io our opinion the cause of it is more definite, and it will not readily wear out . assuming that such is the wish anif intent.. the Republican party, they assume at the same time that means and pretenses will be found for giving olil-ct t<> that wish and intention. It is ... . perhaps natural enough that they shourdjudge ment 0 con *° ltdatt l ? te Kntiment of the law of G&d. And wc see in the almost rnirac ulous success of the movement from the seces sion of the first State to this moment a special interposition of Providence. Behold what God has wrought! Jt will require a greater pqwer to overturn this Government, than was that which subverted the old Union. This struc ture has no cement of suffering. It has no baptism of blood. Its foundations arc right justice and equality. It was reared amid the rites of-peace, and Christianity has consccrat ed it to Liberty. How beautiful, bow grand, bow sublime is this temple, almost it would seem, made without hands 1 Beneath its shel tering arches stand the Churches ot the living God. The people of -God look no where else for whatever of secular protection they need.—•' Freedom of opinion, and the right of conscience — morality—the Sabbath and literature derive their guarantees from this source-alone. In a merely human view of her destiny, the inter ests'of the Church aro inseparably bound up with those of the new Government: These things being so, vhst is the duty of the chris tian with reference to the Government ? This question is pregnant with significance. IVe liave passed the crisis of mere inauguration, and we will assume that tne outside wodd will leave us to pursue our destiny in peace. There remains still one. (carful ordeal, through which we are to pass.' That is the ordeal of re-action. All new governments involve some jostling of the relations of society—some derangement in the business affairs of the people—some sacrifice of accustomed ease—some shock to pro-conceived opinion and some temporary increase o£ tax' In our case there are peculiar grounds for ap prehension. We all loved and revered the great old ensign of the Union—the stars ahd stripes. It will be with soqio a hard task to substitute fbr it, the banner of the Confederate States—the stars and the tri-color.. Old asso ciations will not wholly disappear-^-olij memo ries will revive. We will linger. in feeling along the bright line of American glory. • It will require time for the people to become ac customed to the new order of things, and until they do, small causes may create more or less disaffection. * • . • . . Besides, we arc a people of parties. _ The wars of party with us have been fierce—nay relentless. Selfish, active, and able men have never beep wanting to feed, the fires of strife. It is to be hoped that old parties aro dead and buried without the resurrection power. But it may not be so. These elements of discord may bo directed upon the Government, and partiue may spring up lananth iIk.wine. ***** Vut it in folly unfurled. So that it Is manifest, that there is danger of reaction, which may test the strength of the Government Now wc do not believe that it will come. We think that the heart of the people is with the Government, but no man can shut Ms eyes to the fact, that this is one of tho perils we have yet to encounter—perhaps the only serious periL What is the duty of Christians? We an swer, at all proper times, with serious, outspo ken frankness, to recognize tho government, and profess fealty to its constitution and laws. We are called, upon by. the exigency of tho times to speak out. We may not halt between two opinions. Neutrality now, _iS moral trea son. . The world undervalues the opinion of tho Church in politics. The united sentiment of Christians, in the Confederate States is more potent than the tricks of the canvass or the thunder of the hustings. They should know tliis and realize their strength. Now is the ume to pur it wrta, i»t tpiiij me cause of Hie country is the cause .of God. The avocation of tho Christian denominations at. this mo tile snake must have a stronger stomach. The whole business, however, is frightful The Tribune correspondent auji have dreamed bad dream or heanVsomcthing horrible. Is it possible the States of the Union'arc going to be “ sucked in” in that way ? .What has aroused the Tribune’s suspicions ? Who told him -the little Confederate State' anaconda vis going to swallow the big Union calf? It .has a little of that appearance down this way, but who told the Tribune ? Where did he get the idea that his big Northern Union was getting » lit tle shaky—threatened with demoralization ? Rebeluos in SrmsoriEU).—There was small revolt in Springfield yesterday, and for brief period the 4 ’powers that be" were pros trated. Some boys were playing marbles near the establishment of the Mayor, when he went out and ordered them off. Thoy did not move with the alacrity showing a proper reverence for official authority, and his honor seized one oi the largest" by the collar, when the boy clinch ed in and laid the Mayor prostrate in the snow. Ilis honor recovered himself and returned to the charge a second time, and the graceless young-democrat put him on his back a seoond time. The boy did not take any unfair ad van tage, however, and tho Mayor got up, summon ed assistance and had the insurgent taken to the lock-up.—Republican. “ The Worid” says that, and daily manifests its liberal sentiments to the “ Southern people ” by complimenting tiicin as thieves, rebels, trai tors, and so forth. But in spite of all this abuse tiicro has not been, for twenty years, so liberal a feeling towards the North as exists in the South just now. The South feels she has got rid of the abolitionists, and the political ties which bound her to them being severed, she can preserve her composure and “let them rip " to any extent they may think desirable, with no more concern in their politics than we have In those of Exeter Hall! _ The negrophil- ism of both will stand on a par, an i wc shall get excited over the one no .more than over the other.; Now if our late “fellow countrymen” of the North will take the same view of uiHurs, there is no reason why peace should not exist between the sections, although qnc continues veryiiTUch opposed to slaveiy and tho other very much in favor of it It was the fact that the North sought to make a common govern ment the organ and expression of their views, 'that called into existence tho “embittered con dition of sentiment” which the World believes now to exist, but which on our part is fast pass ing away. _ , • ' others by themselves; anil no doubt, the same system of interpretation which has feupd in tho Constitution the doctrine of nullification, the indefeasible right of slaveliolding to intro duce itself into all tho Territories of the Union; and the right of Secession, might easily dis cover in that instrument a power on the part of the Federal Government of direct interference with Slavery in the States.—A r «c Yori Tri bune, ’1 he above is in the beginning of a long ar ticle intended to show (hat tho seceding States have impaired the securities of slavery by se cession. They have lost all chance in tho ter ritories—forfeited Cuba and Mexico, and ruined the institutidfi in the border States. If the Tri bune will take itself four months ago for author ity, jt was triumphant republicanism which was going to d6 not only all this, but a-good deal more for the downfall of slavery. . Mr. Seward in his Boston speech thought the whole could be accomplished in the course of a single Black Republican administration. Tho fact is, secession has wondcrfally confused and con- fonnded the course of Black Republican argu ment—insomuch that we now see even the 7W- Sune intimating that slavery had guarantees under the constitution which can not be des troyed. That is an admission we may search that paper in vain for before tho seceded States came to the conclusion that the North was blind to tlicir existence. THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY FLAG, The special Committee of the Southern Con federacy appointed for the purpose, ban report • - -;'"U a I! ip for Hu-new Confederacy. The design is striking, and the flag has the merit of originality as well as durability. The up- per ami lower Section, composing the ‘flv’ country, in favor of the Government, anti when that is firmly seated in the respect of nr. tious, and securely lodged in the affections of the people,- it will be their higher and holier duty,'by those appliances which appertain to them only as sacred organizations, to sanctity it, for the service of God. “ ARE IYE UNITED?” In an editorial response to this question the Savannah Republican noting the stuff furnish- ed-by correspondents of tho Northern papers about dissatisfaction in the South, says : “Wo aro sure we speak tho truth when wo say that should a vote he taken <>n secession in Georgia to day, it would bo mors popular than ever. A distinguished gentleman from New York has been travelling through Georgia for two montlis for .the purpose of informing him self upon the subject Ifo is a Union man, and being engaged in a commercial pursuit, was naturally thrown with-those who would bo apt to entertain opinions similar to his own. The result of his obs, nation-, he stated to us, was that ho had found but four men’in tho State who were Union men, and only two of them for tho Union as it was at the time of dissolu tion. We beg those at the lSorlh who are vainly hoping for a change of sentiment, to lay thesfc facto to heart. -AVc ask for nothing but peace at home.

Washington, April 1.—The Tribune’s cor respondent at Washington, says that the Pres ident reserves to himself his ultimate decision in regard to the reinforcement of Fort Sumter. It is well known that, with one exception, the Cabinet was unanimously in favor of reinforc ing the Fort. But different views having re cently been presented, they have abandoned the reinforcement idea, but still retain an im pression favorable to the feasibility of intro ducing men and supplies. The correpondent adds that several leadin'* officers express the belief that the batteries hich guard the entrance to the Charleston harbor might be run by, in steam vessels with out more than ordinary risk; but they agree that the enterprise should be executed at night This view is entertained by the agent who was sent out to make a personal inspection for the sat isfaction of the administration.
