Below we give a «lip received from the office of the Sumpter Republican, in advance of the new* from Macon, an nouncing that the Senate had stricken out the main body of the tjeorgia bill, including the Bingham Amendment, and simply remanded the State back under military rul* It is provided also that general elec tions shall be held in September next, which thus curtails the career of our carpat-bag Executive, and euu les all the people of the State to have a voice this time in tho choice of their ruler*. Though entering a solemn profeet against anj congressional interference with a Bovoroign State, yet we are free to confess that of the two a'ternatives, the dominion of the sword is infinitely preferable to that of the contemptible radical ring who for many month* have lorded it over the old Commonwealth of Georgia. And now be it the patriotic aim and object of all to disabuse our colored liieijds of their prejudices, and impart to them the wb<4«.sa ne lesson, that henceforth our political amt mate rial inturc ts sro identical and insepara- ble.

Oglt*th’<>rpe in 1732. *• At regular intervals, miniature parks or breathing spaces were left, which are planted with beautiful trees, and carpetted with luxuriant bermuda grass. These are th* daily resort of hundreds of pretty children of every age and sex who disport iii«m th* green, and aif>rd living exemplifications of the health fulness of the place. Indeed, Savannah furnishes a remark* able in dance of the sanative effects of thorough drainage, and the smoke of a dense population, in neutralizing mala rial exhalations. Aside from occasional yellow fever visitations, her pe >p!e enjoy a singular exemption from diseases, and her mor tuary report* will compare favorably with those of any Northern city in high latitudes Yet strange to say, fen* and marshes, and rn ora*Hes, redolent of nox ious vapours, utmost surround the city, and those who live on the outskirts be yond the influence of the smoke, are af flicted with chills and fevers. No city in the South with the excep* tion of the m nth room growth of At lanta, has adv»need since the war with greater rapidity, in population and ma terial prosperity. The- wrecks, and the sunken obstruct* tions in tlie channel of the river have all been removed, and a powerful dredg ing apparatus is ever at work, ueep. etiing tin* bed of the stream. We witnessed the performance of this curious machine Which is propelled by steam, and literally cla\p* up from llie bottom, and elevate* to the surface, stones, timber, mud, tt|id all the deiris which ages tn >y have accumulated. The water approaches to the city, arc thus constantly improving, and this port i* really very little inferior to any on the Atlantic coast, while it* tniguif icent river, navigable for bandied* of miles into the interior, give* it udvun tages which no other possesses. Os the rapidly extending commerce ..ff S.iVatm ih, we have spoken fully in a former article. .

The market, to >, presents a busy scene ol bustle and excitement, and the d'ts p ay of vegetables, meats, tisti, venison, poultry, tor rap us, prawn traits, and Wares of every UcsqriptTon, would seem to banish all danger of famine and scarcity. Here lha epicure may surely find full scope for his gastronomical taste* and genius.

With what party, or ia what interest will it probably be c.ast, when the h y-dey of jnl»il ;l ti,m is ov r, when men return once more to their sober sense* and universal suffiage becomes policy of the country ?»- I hese are questions seldom asked, be cause they ate supposerlto admit of but •me answer, and are-scarcely worth the trouble to auk The common under standing is that the negroes, as a body, will adhere to the Ha ical party, but even a common understanding rn.iy not always provw the corr<*ct one. The argument addressed to the sertsf hilities of the « >!ored race, that the\ cannot do otherwise than sustain the pa ty. which brought about their free dnm and enfrgnubi-ement, oppose the ptirty which reluctantly assented to these m**usures. is a powerful as well as a specious argument, and consequently, if tlie Radical leaders are able to con trol this vote pretty much to their own liking, for some time yet, it will be qi. Hia't-r of Barpri»e. With an advanced intelligence, how ever, and better information, the negro will sooner or later ascertain that the elective franchise gives him but a sham advantage and is only a degrading priv ilege, unless its exercise is b ised upon the entire free will of the voter, mid that it may not always be safe, as it is in no sense wise, to bold tins great pro* n gative ut tlie die! at ion of another. The la e colored convention at Chica go showed a creditable appreciation of ttiis thing when it congratulated the jatople ‘th it the v-*xed q test ion ih‘ c 4-*r *as taken out of the political offtlw cotm try, mid could n . longer be made the iii->trnittMiit of demagogues.’ Nit only iu Chicago, lag else w Imre, are tlie black* getting their eyes open to ttie fact that iustead of being freemen in the true sense of tlie term, they are like ly to become Ini' the instruments of the demagogues who made thorn voters to secure their vot< s. The colored man is hound to fiad out at last, that the war between tlie North and the S mth, iu which his freedom was tho apparent bone of contention, was, after all, but a struggle for jiolitt cal domination, ami that he figured in it simply as a means to an end, and not the end its* If The record of the suc cessful party since the war, will con vince him that orrty so far as he could be made useful in perpetuating the sue cess ot tiiat party had it an interest in his einuucipation; and that his g-tmioe abolition friends in this long agitation were men who stood wholly aloof from the field of battle and of politi.-s. He will find, moreover, as soon as tne ques tion of reconstruction is settle*! and the enslaved white men of the country are restored to their rights, that however antagonistic th'- Oeniorratic party has been to the doctrines ■ f tmlitie.al ' quali ty, it will tie the first to recognize- his practical rights under the n-w system and that especially in the Southern Slates ho will tie tr ated by it with a far more generous o< mpieh mine, of his wants than ho can -ever expect to be by Ills so-called liberators. He tvill learn that hi* obligations to hi* ltiiu htal friends are not such that h«* need bind ip:for all ii tie to come to th.-ir dictation : even if im does it .t, as In-justly tn iy, coi.u ludo *b it thedeh of gratitii'i *is quite the ol he." way.

The se’fin* Merest, the insincerity, of liadicalis n is everywhere conspicuous in its at empt ed m iuipglati >ti of the colored vote.— II must eventually grow into a lasting impression upon tlie mind of ev rv Mack matt who gives the matter intelligent consideration! and exercise no sm »l in fluence in determining, his future politi cal action. The negro once a slave, w *ll knows that his best h *me to day, wh*m he m so fortunate as to get it, is upon the farm or in the family of his old mastei ; and in- his political affiliations, if he is equally fortunate, he wid. find the best guaranty of his rights with the men who bust understand bis nature and al factions, his real needs—-the old con servative element of our people.
