Georgia now has within her limits a pop ulation of about one million and twenty live thousand persons, including about f oar hundred and forty--five thousand sia*.. vex, who are protected in life and limb, j and against cruel treatment, by her own humane and wholesome laws, who enjoy more happiness, and are more civilized, more Christianized, and more elevated in the scale of being, than the lifc-enumbcr of their Wn raw on any portion offhe Globe OTOapt In oar Southern sister States, whose institutions are identical with our own.— Her Lunatic Asylum, her Academy for the Blind, and her Institution for the ed ucation of the Deaf and Dumb, are monu ments to her greatness and to the noble Christian charity of her people. Nowhere beyond her limits is there to be found a purer gospel ministry, than is to he seen in Her midst; and nowhere is the power and influence of Divine truth mcuo &}t or more respected. In view of theso, and all the other evidences of her greatness, who, that is a citizen of our noble State, is not proud to say, at home or abroad, I am a Georgian? Amidst this high career of prosperity, if we cast our oyes sreund up on tbeftrraa»<»t,aMfeserenely bright, ex cept Upon our Northern horizon, where a cloud hangs, which, I fear, portends evil in future. Our fathers consented to enter the Confederacy of these States, only upon terms -of perfect equality; and we, as their sons, wotfld be unworthy of our sires, if W« consented to remain in the Confedera cy a-day longer than this principle of c • quality is recognized. Prompted by am bitious leaders, who are willing to sacri fice their country for place and power, a majority of the people of the Northern States have formed themselves into a great sectional political party, which virtually dchics our equality in the Union. This Black Republican party is now struggling hard for the reins of government. Its suc cess would make the heart of the sturdi est patriot tremble. But one obstacle stands in the way of its triumph. The National Democratic Party, like some no ble ancient pyramid, with the Constitu tion for its base, and its summit rising to wards Heaven, has long stood, as a migh ty Gibraltar, against which the waves of fanaticism have lashed their fury, and been broken and driven back. Some of its lea ders, have, at times, proved treacherous ; and like an army with unfaithful Generals its columns have been broken, and its en emies have pointed to its confused ranks, and joyously proclaimed its destruction. But so soon as its masses could be heard at the ballot box, they have repudiated such ambitious and unfaithful leaders, and have hurled them from power; while, lihoHiir-like, the partv has again risen from its own a 1 m ami <: U n w.th : PrWV-d OuW-cr ' t iVr-.d-’ -nr ehampi- i- of t>” ■■ ■ n nniv'.al rights of every section of the Union.

Peterson’s Magazine. We are in receipt of this popular Lady’s Magazine for December. It is a splendid number. “Petr- oon” has a circulation al ready, of nearly 100,000, but will be great ly improved in 1860. It -will contain about 1000 pages of double column reading mat ter, 14stecl plates; 12 colored steel fashion plates; 12 colored patterns in Berlin work, embroidery or crochet; and 800 wood en gravings—proportionately more than any other periodical gives. Its stories and nov elets are by the best writers. Its fashions are always the latest and prettiest. Its price is but Two Dollars a year, or a dol lar less than Magazines of its class. Sub scribe for it and save a dollar. To clubs, it is cheaper still—viz: three copies for §5, or eight for $10. To every person setting up a club, the Publisher will send two splendid engravings of Niagara, of a size for framing. One of our exchanges has an ar ticle headed “ The Harper’s Ferry Dif ficulty.” We don’t see the propriety of the expression; (says the Mobile Mercury) the conspirators found no difficulty in seizing the armory ; the military found no difficulty in capturing the conspirators; the jury hare found no difficulty in con victing Brown; the sheriff will find no dif ficulty in hanging him; and the devil will find no difficulty in providing for his ac commodation afterwards.

We observe with interest, that the in telligent and sagacious senator from Hous ton, Dr. McGhee is moving on the subject of a Geologist Wc trust that every Sen ator and Representative and especially those from Cherokee Ga., will give his hearty co-operation and support to the measure. Georgia has the minerals and is able to bring.to her aid the science and practical skill, which will certainly point a finger to the localities where those trea sures lie. : Thousands of dollars, and years of time will thereby be saved to the citi zen, which be now uselessly spends and wastes—" prospecting” and.testing.

But as our treaty with Tunis placed our Consuls on a footing with the most favored nations and this fact having been explained, the authorities cheerfully accorded the salute to both Captain Lavellette and Consul Nicholson. The carriages of the Bey were in waiting at the landing where our offi cers were received by persons ef the high est rank and escorted to the palace. The interview was very satisfactory, the Bey saying that he should endeavor to culti vate the most friendly’ relations with the United States.

It is not so long since wc ourselves had good proof of this, and the ignominious dismissal of Mr. Crampton by the Washington Cabinet, might have suggested the wisdom of say. ing nothing about submitting to insult or about American humiliation. No power in Europe would dare to offer offence or insult to the Western Republic, for they well know that it fears them not, and is ever ready to defend its interests and vindicate its honor when either is me naced. What wretched stuff, therefore, is this about Mr. Ward humiliating his country and himself by going to Pekin in the way which accorded with Chinese law and custom! The Americans, who know how to make their rights respected by- strong governments, know also how to respect the peculiarities, or even prejudi ces, of weak ones. They know that ia China they have no right to insist upon the observance of Western forms, and that if the government at Pekin chooses to con sider itsell of celestial origin;, and, there fore, superior to the rest of the world, it is no buisness of theirs to go to war with it on that account, so long as- it performs its engagements and acts in a spirit of friendliness. That it has done so towards Amer icans is in no degree doubtful, for the A- mericans have never bullied, bombard ed, and extorted there, as wc unhappily have done. As to the silly story, invent ed by some witless Frenchman, of Mr. Ward having been taken on to Pekin in an enclosed box, it can impose upon no body who has any knowledge of tlie ens- tomary mode of travelling in China. The Celestials have not arrived at the sort of civilization which rejoices in express trains post chaises or statu carriages, as means of conveyance ; they’ use for that purpose what was not long ago considered amongst ourselves a far more dignified and grand style of locomotion for persons of rank ; and Mr. Ward, witiiout any doubt. 5-itimf himself earned to the capital in the hon orably’ yellow sedan chair which the art less Frenchman aforesaid has, with dismal humor, dubbed a box. most deplorable state of morals in, Texas.
