THE GEORGIA WEEKLY TELEGRAPH.
-*?■■£**
(Georgia uolrrlihif rlrrcapa.
A DISCOURAGING PROSPECT.
For thirty years this goodly land has bden
coined with unceasing agitation on the sub
ject ofslavcry. It kept the people of the two
sections in a perpetual broil, and engendered
alienation and haired, until it finally resulted
in the bloodiest war on record. Fonr long
years did the strife of brother against brother
last, and the contest resulted in the overthrow
of the South, the weaker party, by mere force
of numbers, and the reestablishment of the
Federal authority over every part of the
country. Slavery being the great disturbing
cause, the South, though reluctant, gave it
up in order to restore the Union and preserve
harmony for all future time. This and all
other conditions of peace she has promptly
acceded to, with the determination that noth
ing should be left undone on her part to avoid
collisions in our coming history ns a nation.
She earnestly desired a finality to discord,
and resolved that she would withhold no sac
rifice, save honor, that would contribute to
that long desired consummation.
Such are the feelings with which the South
ern ]>cop!c gave in their adhesion to a gov
ernment which they had fought so desper
ately in the late unexampled struggle.—
How have they been met at the very thresh
old of reunion f Are their overtures recipro
cated, or arc they spurned ? Does the North
exhibit a correspondingly friendly and bar.,
monions spirit, or does she give evidence of
continued alienation and n desire to protract
the strife ? Let the course of her representa
tives in Congress answer these questions, hi
it not of a character to produce the convic
tion on tho minds of the Southern people
that peace is not only for distant,
hut impossible—tlmt the leaven of hate
remains in the hearts of their who
hypocritically exhort us to live with them as
brothers, and that they are resolved that
there shall be no peace between the North
and the South ? Verily, tho signs of the
times indicate anything but a cheering pros
pect for tlic future. They show, if we may
take the course of their public men as a test
of popular sentiment, that there is really no
sympathy or affinity between the two sections,
and that nothing we can do will molify or
conciliate them. If we are to re-enact in our
future career as a nation, the scenes of strife
that have characterized the last thirty years
ol our history, and ended in results so dis
astrous, the prospect before as is indeed
gloomy and cheerless. "Wc confess that to
our mind it is anything but hopeful. If mat
ters go on ns they have commenced, wc shall
soon have a country that no decent, right-
minded man would be proud to call Ins own.
The result will be, we shall either be driven
into other revolutions, or, despairing of peace
in tlicir native country, all the best and pur
est of our people will take refuge in foreign
lands.
The rEon.E of the Xorth have this whole
matter in their hands. It is with them to say
whether, living under the same government,
we shall be friend or foe—whether this great
Republic of tho A Vest shall be tho pride of
'our people and an example to tho world, or
whether the wise and good of every land
shall regard it with pity or turn from it in
disgust. If such men as Sumner and Stevens
and Farnsworth arc to be continued os the
exponents of their sentiments and the
representatives of their will in the
councils of the nation, then wo may
bid adieu to all our hopes for the future.—
We appeal to them as men, as patriots, and
as brethren. Are New England fanaticism
and puritanic bigotry to override the whole
North, whip in ail opposers of her will, and
keep the whole country in cternnl commo
tion ? Wc hope there is some manhood, if
not patriotism, still left to resist this priestly
usurpation. If there be, let the people out
side of New England speak out in their pub
lic meetings and legal assemblies, and rebuke
now the fell spirit that is turning our para
dise into a hell. The South asks nothing buf
tvlint id ronOAnnlvlA an/1 in.'t Z r _ 2 •
contemplates a commercial feature—the di
reel importation oflalrorers possessed of some
capital to Savannah—and the export direcly
from the same port, of Souuthem products
in out-going vessels which have discharged
their freights of emigrants.
»- Passing.
The True Cause of Good Luck at Sea.
The Savannali Herald has some remarks
on this subject which wc extract in part for
the benefit of all concerned. It says:
“We have a remarkable instance of what
prudence, care and good management can do
towards preventing “acidents” in the Canard
steamship line. Many of the readers of this
paragraph must know what d voyage across
the ocean is, and particularly during the
winter. Besides the hazards of tho winds,
which for a part of tho year harry the Atlan
tic like so many furies, and of the waves, that
are tossed to the skies by so many mad mon
sters, these very large steamships incur pecu
liar risks from fire and from the breaking of
machinery. Wlmt are the dangers of our
steamers ranning coastwise, in sight of land
compared with a voyage across the ocean f—
But mark the triumph of human genius
guided by good sense and care. The Cunard
steamship line began its transit across the
ocean, if wc have been correctly informed, in
the year 1840, and has been consequently just
twenty-five years, or a quarter of a ccntuiy
in operation. During that time its ships have
made about three thousand passages. They
have passed over more than seven millions of
miles of route, which is equivalent to about
twenty-eight times around the entire globe.-
In this enormous course they have carried, at
all seasons and in all weathers, some -flour
hundred thousand passengers. Well, during
the time (let out steamboat men read rnci
ponder):
1st. They have never failed to sail on the
appointed day, and almost at the appointed
hour.
2d. They have never lost a passenger by
any conduct of their own. Once or twice
passengers have fallen or jumped overboard,
and once the Europa ran into another vessel
during a dark and stormy night.
8d. No injury has ever occurred to any
passenger from accident to, or arising from,
the machinery.
Now, these frets may seem extraordinary,
and, measured by the standard of our usual
American practice, they are extraordinary.
But they arc none the less easy of cxplnna
tion. The managers of that line, knowing
the laws of nature—knowing, too, the usual
experience and dangers of thc'scn—take care
to provide against them ns far as human in
genuity can do so. The consequence is “good
luck,” ns it is called, er an almost complete
exemption from those preventable casualties
which we call accidents.
They have no accidents, simply because
they provide against them by adopting means
to that end.
what is reasonable and just, and if a majori
ty of the North are unwilling to concede her
that much, then may we give up the cause of
the country in despair.
Letter trom Millcdgeville.
, AfiLi.EDOEVH.LE, Jan. 11, I860.
Editor* Telegraph :—Five days from now,
these quiet and stagnant streets will be throng
ed with the'legislators of Georgia, who will
then have re-asscmblcd in the Capitol. The
Christmas and New Year holidays arc over;
and, the busy throngs of freedmen who then
enlivened the streets for their pleasure, now
have disappeared to their respective places of
occupation under contract. The Frecdmcn’s
Bureau, under the admirable management of
Cspt. Tom White, the agent for Baldwin
•county, has a busy time in acting upon con
tracts submitted for approval. The freedmen
are generally entering into contracts, a large
per ccntage with their former owners. Their
behavior in this respect in this region lias
Vieon better than was expected; also, in re
spect' to orderly and quiet deportment. There
appears to be no hostility of feeling between
the races in this region. We have the strong
est hopes that labor and capital will harmon
ize in this county so as to produce results
mutually beneficial. It was remarked by
many, however, that the late Christmas was a
sad one lor the negro. lie had less money
and more care tlinn he ever had at any pre
vious Christmas, and bis saddened counten
ance showed it.
Wc presume the struggle for U. 3. Senator
wall occupy the first place in the thoughts of,
the Legislators soon to assemble,
Congressional Proceedings.

posed of “niggers” and one of white persons,
officered by selections from volunteers. Two
new regiments of cavalry arc to be white and
two of colored persons, and in the infantry
there shall be eight regiments composed of.

ing that by the acts of secession and rebellion
the Southern States had destroyed their func

JAMES VAN VALKENBURG
Died at bis residence, in the city of Macon
Dec. Vth, 1865. lie was born in Lexington, Green
county, New York, May 19tb, 1801, and was,
therefore, at the time of his death, in bis 62nd
year.
The subject of this notice was impressed with
a sense of his kins and the importance of his
soul’a salvation when quite young. lie sought
and found the peace of God through faith in the
merits of a risen Redeemer, and without delay
publicly espoused his cause. And from that day
to tbe day of his death, tbe period of upwards of
forty years, if I mistake not, his life was conse,
crated to his Savior.
Bro. VanValkenburg was a pious, intelligent
and active Christian, and most devotedly attached
to the church and cause of Christ. I have been
somewhat intimately acquainted with him for
the last six or eight years, and I have never heard
fall from his Ups, or witnessed in his general de
portment anything in the least derogatory to the
simplicity and propriety of a Christian life,
have been thrown in his company in many
places, on various occasions, and under various
circumstances, af.d I have always found him
ready and anxious to converse upon the subject
of religion. His views of scripture truth, the
beauty aud purity of the Gospel and of Christian
propriety were remarkably clear and correct,
.and his general knowledge of men and things
connected with the church of Christ extensive.
Ho was a great lover and a strong advocate of
the pure doctrines of grace, and of man’s moral
agency and accountability. He loved the cause
of missions, and believed that overy christipn
was under tbe strongest obligations, from every
consideration that could possibly be brought to
bear upon a rational being, to contribute and do
all in his power to promote the cause of Christ
in the world. Bnt if there was any one thing
connected with the church of Christ and tho
general spread of divine knowledge over the
earth, that he espoused more heartily, defended
with greater zeal, or entered into more indofati-
gably, it was the Sabbath School. Here espe
cially he moved in a sphere most congenial to
his pious heart, and to which his talents seemed
best suited. But few years have passed over his
head since he first espoused the cause of Chris
tianity that he has not devoted more or less of
its sabbaths to training tho young mind to the
knowledge ahd fear of the Lord. And the pre
cious seed that be has in this way sown besido
all waters will doubtless bring forth fruit for
years to come, while souls, who have been
brought to tbe Savior through the instrumental
ity of divine truth imparted by him in tho Sab
bath School, and who have passed over the
stream of death before him, are now gems spark
ling in his “crown of rejoicing.”
Bro. VanValkenburg was a most energetic
man, the most so of a man of his age than any I
have ever known. Whatever his hands found to
do he did it with his might. He was no idler,
either in matters spiritual or matters secular. In
his life was exemplified to no insignificant ex
tent tho sacred and Heaven inspired maxim,
"Diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving I
the Lord.”
The last hours of this good man was full of
hope and comfort. lie bore his afflictions with
becoming Christian courage and fortitude,sweetly
resting upon the promises of tbe Gospel,- many
of which he remarked frequently to his compan
ion and others who visited him during his ill
ness, were unusually sweet and precious to his
soul. He died with an unshaken faith in Jesus
Christ, and a strong hopo of going to rest
He leaves behind him to mourn his departure
an affectionate companion and several children.
May Go<l, by his grace, comfort and console them
under their trying bereavement, and prepare
them all for that clime of light and life where
darkness and death never come.
