The rights ..f our citizen*, however, have been vindicated and pro tected by the action of the Governor, before the Gov ernment at Montgomery has eveu been recognized by the Governmeut at Washington. Iu ihis case, therefore, as in all other leading act* of his administration, success has vindicated the wis dom ot the policy of the Governor, ami he has not only secured the rights of our citizens, but lie ha.- triumph •*d over his enemies, whose clamors will again be hushed in the outbursts of popular applause, which will respond to his acts with a hearty amen. lie considers the duty nnd obligation of allegiance and protection between those who are governed, anti those who govern, ns mutual and reciprocal. TLt allegiance of the citizen is due to the State: he is bound to pay taxes, to obey the laws, to do military patrol, and jury duty, and all other duties necessary to maintain the government of the State. In return for all this, the State is bound to protect the citizen at home and abroad, in the full enjoyment of his life, liberty, and property. This protection tlie Governor is determined the citizens of this State sb?ill enjoy while he occupies the Executive chair. The New York authorities seized the guns belong ing to the citizens of this St'ite, and refused to deliver them up on demand of tlie Governor. ITe then seized the ships belonging t«* N»*w York,- and notified the Governor of that Slate that he would sell the ships, and indemnify the citizens of Georgia out ot the proceeds of the sal *, if the guns were not de livered up by the 25th day of this present month: he also advertised the ships for Male on that day, mid . *e could crave.

And as if to add to ring and com mrcial depression at the . Congress lias enacted a Tar ill, known as rrill,” which is creating quite as great a i as the secession movement did a month TIr. I.inrolus Policy, is it Pence, or War? We have read old Abe’s inaugural Message carefully, and we have read car -fully the various comments upon that very singular document made by Senators Clingniau, Douglas, and Mason, and we have come to the conclusion that neither the Presidentelect, nor the leaders of his party, h:iv< settled down upon any particular lino of policy to be pursue.] towards the Southern Confederacy They undoubtedly have the disposition to involve the seceded States in all tlie horrors of war, but they have discovered, that they can not do this without involving themselves iu certain destruc tion, and they recoil from the abyss into wbicb they were about, to plnnge. It was very easy and natural for them to urge coercion and the enforce- ment of the laws upon Mr. Buchanan. Then they hoped to enjoy the pleasure of a war upon the South without being held responsible for the consequences, but uow, I hoy have discovered the difference betweeu talking and acting. They have long been anxious to have control of the govern meat, but now when it has been thrown upon them, they find themselves entirely incompetent for the work. They are bewildered and know not what to do. They are ready and willing to grasp the spoils and emoluments of office, but are to tally unfit and disqualified to perform the duties of office. The Black Republican party have neither the talent nor the honesty sufficient to ad minister the Government of the United Slates in such a maimer as to sustain (he credit of the country and retain the respect of foreign nations, and th<- people will find this out before they are in office a single year. The leaders of the party have no confidence in each other, nor in themselves. It the policy of the President and bis cabinet was peace it would be their interest to proclaim it iui mediately, because such a policy would evidently ! strengthen their cause in the border slave States, but as yet not a single Senator who presumed to speak for the administration, lias made any such declaration. They have all remained dumb as oysters, evidently because they did not know what to say; they did not know what was the pol- ■ amialne Abraham is far from a happy ; c y of flic President and the administration, foi the very good reason that the President and his Cabinet have not yet any fixed policy beyond the division of the spoils. Mr Lincoln and his coun sellors have evidently found the difficulties which surround them, (too great and too complicated for their capacity, and they have concluded to talk, aud promise, and threaten, and let tilings rock on, and if the ship of State drifts upon breakers, they intend to plunder whatever they can carry off, and take to the boats. This we predict will be their policy, unless some accident, or some of their awkward blunders should involve the country in a war, when they may be made to walk a plank This state of masterly inactivity will l>e adhered to for the double purpose of keep ing their party together, and in the hope retain ing the border slave States within their power If they declare war against the Southern Confed eracy, they will lose all the slave States, and if they acknowledge the Southern Confederacy and make peace, they split their own party, and lose poweratthe North. Under ail these circumstances we do not believe we shall have either war or peace immediately, but a little of both, unless war should be precipitated upon us by some accident or blunder. But how long will the people of the United States suffer in all of their business rela tions, for the sake of retaining the Black Repub licaus in office? From the result of the New Hampshire election, we should think they were willing to suffer some time yet, but the end ot their eudurance will come, and then let the abo litionists look out. 11 is hod is not one of roses, and if his con. .t on is not equal in durability to some of those < I., split thirty years ago, and which were pa- m ub so much pomp and circumstance pen- _ the election, he will succumb to the pressure a, and go out of office and this world, as Harr,sou and Taylor. The cormorants who i - house are beyond calculation, and can- re appeased with empty promises. And in mid-t ol all this harrassing pressure from place ■s, is heard the distress from manufacturing ■.mi the “nobody is suffering’’ cry rings in ’ earof Abraham like the corses of the niiu.,'4. If old Abe does not take to his heels aud v pretty soon, he will fall a martyr to a dis- •-£ that has killed far better men.

For a long time the Union men in the border Slave States have been waiting, like Mr. Micaw- ber, for something to turn up. Well, something has turned up, several times, and they still con tinue to wait. First, they waited to see what Congress would do to couciliate the South, but they soon found that the Black Republicans iu Congress would make no terms with the South Then they sent the Peace Congress to Washing ton, to settle all difficulties, but the Biack lie-pub licans refused to hear the Peace Conference. Not discouraged, they waited for Mr. Lincoln’s Inaug ural. The I ■augural his com-: auj brought no consolation, but rather threateoings of vengeance, with it. Every hook upon which they could liaug a hope of redress, has given way in their grasp. Their situation is everyday getting worse, and the eyes of the world is upon them, noxiously en quiring what they are waitiug for. Perhaps they are waiting for a reaction in public sentiment at the.North. Vain delusion ! The election that has just taken place iu New Hampshire, should open their eyes to the truth Ween the Ethiopian shall etiange Ins skin, or the Leqjmrd h s spots, then may we hope that Abolitionists will return to rea son, and repout of their own sins, aud leave the slaveholders to repent of theirs for themselves What are they waiting for now ? Do they expect something to their advantage will turn np ? The St. Louis republican says: There is no disguising the fact that the river trade of St Louis is not so prosperous or extensive as it was four or five years ago. Tne legitimate river com merce lias fallen off, and the number of steam boats has decreased iu proporliou. Five years ago we wanted more levee room than the city had river front. Since that time it has often happened >n business seasons that we had not: boats enough to make a respectable show at our port. Ogklhsrfc I'aircrnlr.

Gov Brown’s particular merit is bis superior ex ecutive powers, why not promote him to a wider field for the display of that pecnliar talent T Why not advance him to a position where he will have an opportunity in tlie exercise of those executive powers, to serve ndt only his own Georgia, but the entire Southern Confederacy * ‘ Tinins my sentiments,’’ Messrs. Editors, and they are not only my sentiments, hut they are the sentiments uf hundreds and thousands, not only in Georgia but in every one of the Confederate States. Not of the politicians, perhaps, but of the piof/le. What other one cf our leading men, if in the Executive Chair during the perilous crisis of the last few months, what other one but Gov. Brown, wonld have had the boldness to conceive, or the firmness to execute, such a step, (before the State had actually seceded.) as the seizure of Fort Pulaski f The trholr idea originated "with Gov. Brown, he was its author and prime mover, and yet there are some among our envious and diminutive politicians in this State, who would rob him of this well earned trophy. Where is the other man in this State, who. if in the Executive Chair, wou'd have thought of so speedy and so efficient a mode of retaliation for the detention of our arms by the New York authorities, as that of the seizure ol the New York vessels, and yet we see that jealous Congress at Montgomery endeavoring to pluck this bright feather from bis cap ’? The motive for these attacks is well under stood ; it is envy, nothing hut sheer envy on the part of the leading politicians of tlie .^tate. Gov., Brown would today have been Picsidi-nt oi the Confederate States, had it not been tor the. opposi tion of our own delegation at Montgomery. All the other States were tor him. tlm outside pressure was tremendous, and nothing prevented his unan imous nomination, but members of his own Geor gia delegation. Thais so, aud will not be denied’ Now I am for carrying out tin- wishes ol the people, and not. like Mr. Trice, that of the politi cians. who want to keep Gov. Brown out of their way, tied down to the Gubernatorial Chair. lain lor advancing hi in, as lie deserves, to the Presi dential Chair, placing our present worthy Execu tivo where lie ought to he. and where no one could compete with him as Commander in-Chief of our Annies. S. HUNTER. SECESSION VOTED DOWN IN ARKANSAS. Little Rock, Ark , March 25.—The secos ordinance was voted down to-day amid great ex- j a,10t ’ ier auAhunzin citement. A compromise was subsequently made c,1 I'y- nse ant * ‘ 10 '“ by which the people will vote on the 1st of Au gust for secession or co operation. Del- gates are to be sent to a Border State Con vention.and to report to an adjourned meeting of the Convention, to be held ou the third Monday in August next. l’he Convention has adjourned to that time. Popitar Movements.—The movements of the people in all parts of Virginia, instructing their delegates to go for secession, indicates tlie vast change which has beeu wrought in the public mind. V\ r e little doubt that a popular vote in slavehold- ing Virginia, would carry the Stale out by twuity thousaud majority.—Pet. Erpress. Flag Language.—How our new flag of the Confederate States is regarded abroad, may he judged by the following from the New York Her ald : The Jesigtiis striking, and tlie Gag has tlie mer it of originality as well as durability The upper and lower sections, composing the “fly” part, are red, the middle section white, while a blue union, containing seven stars in a circle, reaches from the top to the lower red. This flag presents an herald ic significance not probably comprehended by the uniniated. The blue union signifies firmness, constancy, faithfulness; the white, purity aud peace; and the red is emblematical of war With the seven st rs in the blue, this flag can be read as follows : Blue—seven States have entered into a covenant of good faith. White—to promote the general welfare in time of Peace. Red—to pro vide a common defence in time War To assist the reader to interpret the flag more fully, we would state that in engraving heralding devices, it is rnleable to make the portions delineating blue in horizontal lines, and red in perpendicular ones CHILLS AND FEVER! CHILLS AND FE VER !!—One of the greatest remedies that lias ever been fetid before the public for Fever and Ague, and which have received the highest encomiums from the press aud the people, is DR. J. HOSTETTERS CEL EBRATED BITTERS. Who wonld endure the tor tures arising trots this terrible disease, when it cun be so easily cured ? Who would endure sleepless nights, burning fevers and iey e.liills alternately, when a iuin dy can he obtained lor a nrere trifle? And yet how many families linger ont n painful existence under this deadly blight, and nothing lmt gulp down quinine, until it becomes as common as daily men Is. and yet tin-vare not relieved.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE STAVE COWfiSTIOH. Savannah, March lfi, 1861. Editor Telegraph-.—As you are aware, the Consti tution adopted by the Provisional Congress for the permanent government of the Confederate States, was,.on motion of Judge Kisbet, made the. special order of to-day. At the suggestion of the Chuir, the Constitution w.is read by the Secretary, aud at the conclusion the same was open for remark. So perfect is the instru ment considered. however, that it elicited wo debate Tiie entire Convention seemed to tie satisfied with its provisions. Whereupon Mr. Alexander, of Upson io- ti'.duocd a resolution to appoint a committee of seven to fl ume and report au ordinance adopt iug ami ratify ing the Constitution. The resolution was adopted unanimously, when the Chuir appointed the following gentlemen on the committee, to wit: Messrs Alexander of Upson, Fleming, Rice, Craw ford, of Green. Warner, Clark, aud Reese. Tho committee immediately withdrew, ns it was the general desire of the Convention that the Constitution should be ratified during the session of to-day. After nu absence of an hour they returned, and through their ehainnau reported the following: AN ORDINANCE To adopt nnd ratify the Constitution of the Confed erate States of America. Be it ordained by tlie people of Georgia, in Conven tion assembled, nnd it is hereby ordain. *1 by tho au thoritv of the same. That the Constitution adopted bv the Congress at Montgomery, in tie- S ute of Ala bama, on the eleventh dnv of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one, for “the permanent federal government” of the Con federate States of America, t>e and the same .is here by adopted and ratified by the State of Georgia “act ing iu it* sovereign and independent character.” .Mr. ALEXANDER moved that the Ordinance be read twice and put upon its passage, which was done ; when, upon motion of Mr. Hull, tne Convention pro ceeded to vote by ayes nnd nays, in order that event delegate might have the privilege of recording his vote in favor of tlie adoption of the "Constitution.— Upon the conclusion of the call of the nves and hays, tiie President armoilneed the State to be unanimous for the adoption nnd ratification of the Constitution. Tiie auouucement was received with applause throughout the Hall. Upon motion of Judge Nisbet, the President was requested, a* soon as the Ordinance should be properly enrolled upon parchment and signed by the delegates, to forward the same to the President of the Ctjaited crate Slates at Montgomery. At 2 o'clock, a salute of seven guns was fired by tiie Bhatham Artillery, in honor of the unanimous adoption of the Constitntion. Thus the great State of Georgia has solemuly linked her fate, for better or for worse, with the Confederate States. The prayer of every patriot heart is, that her future career may be peaceful, prosperous and honorable, ’ ** . . • — Cleveland, March 21.—Sherman was nominated last night at Columbus aa U. S.

At near ly the same moment, and iu a similar manner, the national colors tiamed up ou the Biazza di Venez la, opposite the palace ut the Austrian Embassy, on the Biazza Trajauo, ou the Jolty siair in front of the Trinita dei Mouti, and ou various other squares and open places in Rome. Iu the Corse many of the inhabitants illumined their window s. There were some pickets of Pa pal gendarmes about the Corso, and one of six men near the Via degli Conventite, another ol eight ou the I’iazZa Sau Lorenzo, in Lucina, and a tin d lower dow n, towards ihe Biazza del Bopo io. When the heart-felt slmut of “lira T Itulia!” ran through the air, ihey seemed a good deai taken aback, aud as if hesitating what to do. This lasted for a moment, and then they quietly disap peared from the Corso. It was just as well, for tlm people's blood was hot last night, a great many had arms concealed about their persons and mis fortunes might easily have bappeend. I hear there was oin-small encounter, in which an offi cious gendarme received a box oil ibe ear, which he pinvlentiy pocketed and made off, glad to esc pe. t here were bodies of men walking about in fours in a sort of military order, and any ill-judged in terference on tlie part of the papa! authorities would havo led to serious results. Two Papal Zouaves, wiio drove into the Corso from the Biaz za del Bopoio in an open cab, were received with hisses, and with veiy threatening cries, whereup on, they drove down a side street, and were not fol lowed. When the demonstration had taken place some French gendarmes (there are about fitly of these iu Koine,) began to expostulate with the people, and to urge them to disperse, sayi g that they had done what they wauled, aud that ft was t,mo to go. The French gendarmes, well-behaved and good-tempered, are far from sharing tho ha tred and execration in which the Romans hold the gendarmes of the Pope, and the throng listened to them, and, attending to their recommendation, be gan to separate. Presently some French patrols arrived upon the scene. A very strong one, consisting of several companies, marched on to the Biazza Colonna, placed pickets there, which allowed people to quit the Corso, but not to enter, aud llu-u the re mainder of the patrol marched slowly, with a wide front, dow n the street, aud was cheered by tlie crow d, which quietly dispersed on its approach. By about o 1-2 o’clock the Corso had resumed its usual appearance at that hour. Everything had gone off most satisfactorily. The demonstration bad been complete. The Italian colors had been displayed, refulgent and unnristakeable, on tho principal squares, and high places of Koine; they had llained under the very nose of the Austrian Ambassador, to whose nostrils their odor can hardly have been grateful; they had beeu public ly saluted by acclamations for Italy aud its King; tlie peace had nut beeu broken, and there was not a single catastrophe, to deplore, 'i lie rivals giv en for the Emperor Napoleon aud for France were doubtless all tho heartier by reason of a re port which had been widely spread in theafler- noou, that tho French Chamber ot’ Deputies had voted, by a vast majority, the withdrawal of the French army Tom Koine. This report was too good to bo true, aud so afterwards was eoutta dieted, but tor a moment there were persons ea ger to believe it, even against their own convic tion of its improbability.

For twenty-three years old Jake Willard has cultivated the soil in Baldwin County, and drawn therefrom n support for himself and wife He i> childless Not long ago, Jake left tile hous- in search of a missing "cow. His route led him through an old, worn out patch of clay land, ot about six acres in- extent.in the center of which was a well, twenty five or thirty feet deep, that, at some time, probably, hsd furnished the inmates of a dilapidated house near by with water. In passing by this spot an ill wind drilled Jake’s “tile" from his head, aud maliciously wafted it to the edge of the well, and in it tnmbied. New Jake had always practiced the virtue of economy, and he immediately set about recovering the lost hat He rati to tlie well, and finding it was dry at the bottom he uncoiled the rope which he had brought for the purpose of captu ring the truaut cow, and after several attempts to catch tliebat with a noosu, ho concluded to save time by going down into the well himself. To accomplish this, he made fast one end of the rope to a stump hard by, and w as soon ou his way dow n the well. It is a. fact, of which Jake was no less oblivious than the reader hereof, that Ned Wells was in the dilapidated building aforesaid, and that an old blind horse, with a hell ou Lis neck, who had l»een turned out to die, was lazily grazing within a short distance of the well. The devil himself, or some other wicked spirit put it into Neds cranium to have a little fun; so lie quietly slipped up to the horse, unbuckled the strap, and approached with a slow and measuring “ting-a-ling’’ to the edge of the well. "Daugthe old blind horse !’’ said Jake—lie’s a cornin’this way, sure, and aint got no more sense nor to fall in here Whoa, Ball!” lint the continued approach of tlie “ting-a-ling” said just as plainly as words, that old Ball wouldn’t “whoa.” Besides, Jake was at the bot tom, resting before trying to "shin" it up the rope. ‘ Great Jerusalem !" said he, “the old cuss will be a top o me ’tore I can say Jack Robinson Whoa ! dang you, whoa !” Just then Ned drew up to the edge of the well, and with his toot kicked a little dirt into it. “Oh! Lord!” exclaimed Jake, falling on his knees at the bottom of the well; “I'm goue now L —Whoa !—Now I lay ine down to sleep—Whoa ! Ball—I pray the Lord my goal to—Who* Oh. Lord have mercy on me !” Ned could hold in no longer, and fearful that Jake might suffer from his fright, lie revealed himself. Probably Ned didn't make tracks with his heels toward that well. May he Jake wasn’t up to tin- top of it in short order. May be not I don t know. But I do know that if Jake finds out who sent you this, it will be the last squib you’ll get from tne. innn of siu!" based, and groaned and went away.

There is a pretty little saying, which if not very common, is, I am sure, very true: it is this: “If we speak kind words, we will hear kind echoes!” “How is this, and what does it mean?” I fancy I hear a youthful voice exclaim: Well now, I will show yon. If 1 could take you all at once to a deep valley be tween two high hills, or put you in some little nook between lofty mountains, or if I could place you in a boat on the lonely waters of a quiet lake, and then bid you to shout your name with all your might, you might hear it repeated once, twice, aye, even several times, growing fainter and fainter each time, till it died quite away on your ear. You might think that you had only spoken, and yet several seemed calling. Surely it is some one mocking; but no! it is only yourself with now— ) our °" u little voice, doing it all; so there is no need to be offended. You see what a wonderful power you have of making yourself heard. This, then, is the echo. If you were not to speak, you would hear no echo. (4od has kindly made all these wonders, and they ought to teach us a useful lesson, if we wonld only think about everything we see and hear. Kind ness is like a sweet soft echo; if little chil dren speak loving words, they come hack again to them; and if they do kind ac tions, they come back again. I suppose 1 must add a little tale by way of illustration; so here it is: There was once a little girl at school in France, a great many years ago, and she was walking out one day with her com panions in some beautiful, large public gardens. It happened that a poor soldier was there on duty, and not being able to leave his post, he begged the young ladies to be so kind as to bring him a little water The companions, however, heeded him not, except to say how exceeding imper tinent it was ot a common soldier to speak to them. The little girl; however, had a kind and tender heart, and could not think of leaving a fellow creature iu want when she might asssist him She therefore ran and procured some water, her compan ions, meantime, deridiug her for doing so. When she brought it to the poor soldier, he could not utter half his gratitude, he was so surprised and thankful; but he ask ed her name and address, and then she went away. Not many days after, a dreadful massa cre took place iu that city, of all the Pro testants bnt that little girl was saved; and how do you think? The poor soldier had not forgotten his little benefactress; the kind action had gone deep, even into the heart of one accustomed to scenes of blood shed, and the little, girl felt the glad echo amidst the sad desolation and gloom of that very eventful day. Now go and practice my story, dear children; let your lips breathe forth only gentle tones and words, and be ready at all times to do an act of love and kindness toward any human being. Speak gently.' 'tis a little word, Dropped in the heart's deep well; Tire love, the joy that it may bring, Eternity will tell. Merry's Museum. A safe man to insure.— By a steamboat explosion on a Western river, a passenger was thrown unhurt into the water, and at once struck out lustily for the shore, blow ing like a porpoise all the while. He reached the bank almost exhausted, and was caught by a by-stander and drawn out panting. “Well, old fellow,” said his friend, “had a hard time, eh?” “Ye-ycs, pretty hard eonsiderin. Was’nt doin' it for myself, though; was a workin’ for one o’ them insurance offices in New York. Got a policy on my life; and.I wanted to save them.

I, “marriage is agin your rules, I believe, m arm!” “Yay.” “The sexes liv strictly apart, I spect?” “Y’ay.” “It’s kinder singler,” sez I, puttin on my most sweetest look, and speakin in a whinin voice, “that so fair maid as tliow never got hitched to some likely feller.” [N.
