We are cited to Gordon, Toombs^
and others, who it is claimed, cham
pion or are in lympathy with the
Independent movement in Georgia.
So lar as the first named gentleman
is concerned we do not believe he
has ever expressed himself in sympa
thy with that movement. In regard
to the latter, while he has an intel
lect inferior tc none on the continent,
it is sometimes misdirected, as wit
ness his speech in Milledgevidc before
the war in which lie said he would
“drink all the blood that would be
spilled in a war between the States.’’
We ask if Im was not grievously mis
taken, then, and may he not be mis
taken in his policy now ?
We submit th • fact that all Un
political misery inflicted upon the
Stale of Georgia alter the war was in
consequence of a division of sent intent
in the State. A few said, “let us
unite and meet the enemy.” The
many said, “let him severely alone—
be will die of his own corruption.”
What was the result of this non
action, this want of unity ? One
• liberty after another was wrested
from us, our Treasury fell into the
bands cf thieves, and the last vestige
of freedom see ned ready to escape
cur grasp. What did the people
do ? They organized from the moun
tains to the seaboard, presented a
solid front to the enemy and to-day
wc enjoy the rich fruits of vietoiy
which gave hack our State into the

hope of being able much longer to

effect of these victories has been to
attract the tlcutiou

medilaiing upon the question ns tn

—The expression, “so-long,” used
sometimes in the sense of good-by in
the Southern S.ates, was borrowed
from negroes. It is a corruption ol
the Turkish wool “salaant,” which,
with the spread of Mahommedanism,
traveled to the west coast of Africa,
whence s ave cargoes were procured.
The expression became also common

Turkey is i delitcd to England for
her fine navy, and of course the latter
power is, in the matt r of dollars and

or not the Turkish Navy shall fall

are tbe latest English Press telegrams
with reference to the attitude of that
power towards Russo-Turkish affairs:
London, December 30.—The Nero
Times of St. Petersburg reproduces
vir ons reports current in ibieigu
Newspapers that England intends to
occupy certain points in the Ea-t,
among others Gallipolis, C tuxiatino-
pie and Batoum. The Nero Times
considers that the occupancy of Con-
st/.ntinople or Batoum will be equiv
alent to a declaration of war.
The semi-official Agence Russe says:
“The report tiiat England has notified
the Powers of her intention to
occupy certain stations m the East is
to pay the soldiers
who were called out to quell the la
bur riots last July is ueary §310,000,
provided the Legislature decides to
allow full pay tor the fractional mo. th
over fifteen days. Should the troops
Im* paid for actual service only, $225,-
000 will be required. The feeding
the militia will ccst about $110,000,
and the entire expenses incident to
the riots nearly $500,000.

recalled to St. Petersburg all Russian
la.lies who were studxing a) the
Berne Polytechnicnm, threatening
with severe penalties all those who
did not speedily obey the command.
Ei*;ht of these ladies, belonging to the
best families, have’been condemned

charge of being members of secret
societies—six of them to exile in Sibe
