GEORGIA WEEKLY OPINION THE WEEKLY OPINION. Justice, not Courtesy,—There is no ftpecies of joornutistic warfare that is ut once so annoying and disreputable as »»/•- repreeentatlon. A conscientious and able journalist, will scorn to misrepresent an adversary, even when that may secure the only possible way of rebutting a statement or refuting an argument. In many In stances timt have recently fallen under our observation, these misrepresentations have been wilful; in others, they have grown out of carelessness, or want of capacity to comprehend the real position assumed by a sup posed opponent. Another species of unfairness is the practice of certain Jour nals in making garbled extracts, and so framing comments thereon as to create an entirely different impression from that in tended by the author. If. In such cases, critics would have the fairness to repro duce tile article entire, upon which they design commenting, the public mind could not be misled, though perhaps, in some In stances. the purpose of the critic might not be subserved. We do not charge the Savannah “Repub lican” w ith cither of the offenses above specified. But If the editor of that pa|>er will take the trouble to compare our origi nal articlu with Id* extracts from, and comments upon the same, he can no; fail to see that he has done both the Opinion and General Porn gross injustice. A* jus tice. (not even courtesy.) is all tlmt the Opinion demands, we Iio|k! oui* esteemed confrere will not hesitate to correct the false impression which Ills article of the •4th is so well calculated to make. Ukn. Pope ani> thk Souk Heads.—'The efforts of (idi. Popk to arrest the progress and folly in the Alabama Convention, meets the unqualified approbation of intel ligent. and conscientious men everywhere. His course in this particular is not only approved but applauded by every man in and adjoining States. Those H0BAC8 OKEKLfcY AND HIS AUT0-BI0G- I HAPHY.

The example of ids work-day life, is worthy of imita tion. The genius of his industry merit* ad ml rut Ion. Those who arc ignorant of the true character of Mr. Gjikklky and his history, will hardly appreciate our e* I- matt* of him. Discarding prejudice, bis life, independent of Its political aspect, is replete with Instruction. His knowledge, not hounded by the limit of political sci ence. is as extensive as the capacity of hi* intellect Is enlarged, ills acquirements arc as uneirctimscrihed as the prolific Holds of science and literature. Mr.GiiKKi.EV, as a public man, we do not propose to discuss; our present purpose with him, neither in volves nu approval nor condemnation ot his political course. It is of the self-made, successful representative Mr. Grkki.kv. we would epettk. His auto-biography is an epi tome ot these terms. It unveils the sccrctot success. It reveals to our American youth the hidden means through which a poor boy, born among the granite hills of New Hampshire, without fortune or fame, yet relying upon the spirit of industry and the genius of enterprise, struggling with adversity, often Imlllcd, but never over come, at length succeeds in raising him self to prominence in the world of letters; a man and a pit losopher, above reproach in the purity of his character, and with out a polluting stain on the ink-grit* ot his life. Looking to the law of success. young men would do well to read in this unaffect ed narrative the impress of its highest style; and. taking example of the b'*son it recites, press boldly forward with a firmer faith in the accomplishment of tiie life- task before them.

More over, everything which lie says in tills message he has said before. After summing up the counts lu Mr. Johnson’s bill of Indictment against Con gress, the same paper continues: The effect of this portion of the Messege will be to widen the breach between the President and Congress, (If, indeed, that be possible.) and to increase the chances tlmt the action of the latter will lie as unwise and inconsiderate as the words of the for mer. The President could have done noth ing more certain to ilestroy all chance of his exerting a wholesome influence on Congress than he has done In this vehe ment and vlturpcraHve denunciation of the action It lias already taken. The writer concludes us follows: As a whole, we regard the Message as the least satisfactory—as, calculated at this particular crisis In national affairs, to do the least good and the most harm, of any which President Johnson has sent Con gress.

We would impress the people of the South with the importance of adopting a change In their system of Agriculture, Im peratively demanded by the necessity of thu times. If they would prosper, as In the past, the producing class must turn its attention to the growth of all the essential commodities of life. It is worse than idle to assume tlmt the climate ami soli are not adapted to the growth of cereals. Three- fourths of the area hitherto given to cot ton should he planted in corn, wheat, rye. oats, potatoes, peas, and such vegetable ns liter largely into the consumption of sections. Our farmers should raise They 1 more attention to the breeding of stock, Wherever grass will grow, it should be grown.

It h is been suggested that tills gathering may contem plate the passage of an ordinance of Seces sion. tiie appointment of a minister to Coventry, or mayhap for the rejection of the Ten Commandment*. It may be cither, all. or none of these.' I cannot say.
