AUGUSTA, GA.
SUNDAY MORNING, NOV. 25, 1860.
Mr. James V Mils.
Yesterday's issue of the Southern Field and
Fireside was the first number of that excel
lent family paper under the direction of Mr.
Ells as its Literary Editor. It contained a
modest and graceful “Introductory,” from
tho new Editor, and “A Word to the Public,”
from his pen, which, with its general con
tents, justifies our commendation a lew days
•incc of his taste, ability and skill, in the
management of so important a department of
the paper as that over which he presides.
Wo doubt not its readers will be pleased with
its visits, and that Mr. Ells will succeed in
retaining not only their patronage, but in
■ecuring that of thousands who have hereto
fore overlooked its substantial claims to pop
ular favor.
No man in the country. North or South,
has a higher reputation than Dr. Lee us an
agricultural writer. Ilis department of the
paper is always interesting and useful to t o
cultivators of the soil. To speak of his abil
ity nnd tlio value of his labors is to utter
what is already Known to every reading and
intelligent man. Now, when the South has
to look to herself for the protection of her
endangered rights and the very safety of her
people, we hope the Field and Fireside will
be remembered and substantially cherished.
Meeting; at Louisville.
The proceedings of the meeting held at
Louisville, Georgia, on the lfth instant, did
not roach us until the 21st. That will ac
count. tor their insertion at so late a period.
Yesterday, and the day before, our columns
were occupied with matter already on hand.
Wo ins it them with much pleasure, especial
ly as they take the true Southern position.
IvTTat Should Satisfy the South t ‘N
r Some of our writers and speakers semi to
tb ink that the South ought to he satisfied, if
Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Con
necticut, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York,
New Jersey, Vermont, Khoile Island, and
Wisconsin, will repeal I lie Personal Liberty
Bills which prohibit their citizens, under
heavy and degrading penalties, from execu
ting the Fugitive Slave Law. Does any man
of sense believe that they will repeal those
laws? Has any step been taken to that end?
Has any Black Republican in public or pri
vate life, has a single Black Republican news
paper intimated, in the remotest degree, that
it will be done? He who expects it is delu
ded by the shadow of hope; is blind to the
teachings of the past, and is not a fit leader
fora crisis like the present. Leaders, now,
Should be meti of practical sense and not of
fantastical theory.
The people who were so lost to all constitu
tional obligations, so phrenzied with fanati
cism, so bitter in their hate of our peculiar
institutions, so regardless of Southern rights
and feelings, so destitute of fraternal regard
for their equals, in the Confederacy, as to cti
aot laws imposing fines from 1,000 to 5,000
dollars am imprisonment from two to fifteen
years upon those who should aid in the exe
cution of one of the plainest and most palpa
ble provisions of the constitution, will not
repeal those laws and would be unworthy of
confidence if they did. They have sunk
themselves to the depths of infamy by the
most wilful perjury. They could be convict
ed of that crime in any court of justice.
With all the civil disabilities to which the
perjurer is subjected by our laws, we are
called upon by some in ottr midst, to trust
Northern j. -r'ur- is and live with them ns ottr
equals and brothers- The people of the
South will not and ought not to trust them.
They wilfully violated their oaths to support
the constitution, and they would not hesitate
to do it, again, in the future, even if they
oould now cringe low enough, for lucre, to
repeal their infamous laws, and, in doing so,
admit their perjury before the civilised world.
Why do these Northern fanatics wish to
keep the Southern States in t lie Union? the
reason is patent and obvious to every man
whose mental faculties arc not becloud 1 with
stolid stupidity. Could anything 1 more I
remarkable than that a Southern sound-mind- j
cd man should desire to fraternize with per- j
jurors nnd deadly enemies ? It. is not unrea- |
•onalde that our people should wish to bene- |
fit friends, but it is degradingly irrational j
that they should desire to bestow, annually
upon their deadliest, foes, from one hundred
and fifiy to two hundred millions of dollars;
monstrously and criminally so when the fa
vors conferred give sinews and means and
power to those foes to overwhelm and destroy
them.

uicnt from CJeorgia.
[CONOUTOKII.]
The sixth reason assigned by this meeting
is closely akin to that immediately proceed
ing it in puerility of sentiment. A humane
solicitude for the cit zens of Greene county is
promptly rrigendcied in our boßotns upon
noting their exhibitions of fear and constcr
nation. Fully appreciating tlieir perilous
condition, they turn tlieir eyes to the North,
and calmly, kindly and earnestly admonish i
them that they ought, as far as possible, to
redr. . their grievances; failing ill this, they
seek the sympathy and condolence of a pow
eric s minority; and then, happily, they be
think themselves to appeal to Foreign Pow
ers, first proving to them that no blame rests
upon them in the matter. Verily this would
boa wise course for a free and independent
people to pursue—first appeal to your op
pressors for aid, and then to your disinter
ested neighbors, Arc wo children, that wo
can only pluck up courage in view of reserved
assistance from a big brother or a father ? Or
have the citizens of Greene county lost tlie
spirit of independence ? Arc they seeking a
stale of vassalage ? We would remind them
that the elements of strength and of heroic
defense are indigenous to the Sunny South—
that we are amply provided for in the strength
of our wills and of our own right arms. We
want no foreign help, particularly if it can
not be obtained without whining appeals for
it. lftiie justice of ourcause and the truth of
our position are not sufficient to command the
sympathies of nations, then let us struggle
and die without them.
We pass over the seventh reason with the
remark that “unnecessary and indecent haste”
is not commendable in tlie most trifling acts
of life, much less “in so scrii us a thing as
the overthrow of this government.” Our
friends in Greene need not be alarmed: we
don’t mean to be indecent—we mean to secede
in good time to keep Old Abe from exercising
any power to prejudioe Southern interests or
impair our rights. If we can get out before
lie gets in, it is pin in that be can't hurt us.
On the other band, if be gits in before we get
out, lie may damage us considerably, and
then our friends ill Greene county would cry
out for succor to anybody and everybody.
In regard to the eighth reason given, we
would remark that the popularity of tlie dis
union cause at the South, heretofore, has
nothing to do with the question of submission
to Lincoln’s administration. However un
popular it may have been heretofore—no
matter how many thousands have regarded it
as a “watchcry of politicians,” it is certain
now that Lincoln's election has given a con
vincing popularity to it recently. And at
’ this very moment the ranks are filling up,
and, undoubtedly, will continue to swell un
til sufficiently full to set at complete defiance
the rule of a Black Republican. The power of
Mr. Lincoln to affect us even diminished by
majorities against him in both branches of
Congress, should not be considered in the
question of resistance to oppression. Our
State governments are now preparing for
| tlieir defense—they are enacting wise laws
for the alleviation of commercial distress, nnd
when they become components of a Southern
Confederacy will be as efficient for national
| purposes as they arc in the present Union,
i Yen, they will lie a little more so—the same
j amount of revenue that they now contribute
| will be continued,and in its distribution they
I will receive a lion's share instead of tv mere
| pittance. All bounties that are to be paid
will he for their special benefit, and not for
j those who are always injuring them by every
possible means. And in a thousand different
•
I ways—in all the various operations which are
i carried out in the governmental administra-
I tion they will he abundantly blessed.
; We shall not stop to individualize the three
i succeeding reasons, carrying out as they do
i the same loose generalizations that character
| ize the antecedent ones, hut proceed to
notice a single paragraph forming the conclu
sion of the twelfth reason. In this reason
entire, is an enumeration of evils likely to bc
| fall us in the event of a dissolution, highly
| magnified by its author. After a long recital
of them, it concluded as follows: “The most
! careless thinker must perceive that the pc
! euninry embarrassment and domestic distress
which must result from a sudden and unex
pected upheaval of the whole social fabric,
would be such as is seldom paralleled in the
history of man. With this appalling pros
pect, immediate and unpremeditated destruc
tion of this government on the mere ground
of Mr. Lincoln's election, or, indeed, on any
ground, would argue a puerile indiscretion
an I headlong rashness on the part of the
actors, which would indicate anything but
their fitness for their position, and prognosti
cate anything but the success of their opera
tions.”
How many of the readers of this article
will now object to its heading? Is it unjust ?
Is it untrue? This distinguished meeting of
our loyal fellow-citizens, after declaring our
grievances in a most positive manner—the
ruinous and degrading tendency of anticipa
ted power if unchecked—after giving nearly
a column of flimsey and foolish reasons why
we should not resist the most burdensome of
our grievances, finally, in a secluded portion
of a paragraph, gives utterance to the senti
ment that an “immediate and unpremeditated
| destruction” of the government on account of j
I Mr. Lincoln's election, “or indeed on any
I //round would be unpardonable rashness. |
I .Southern men—citizens of Georgia—where
| arc we drilling? Have the surgings of the
j abolition waves reached to our midst ? Are
| these not the wlii-peringli of the co-workers
jof frecsoilism ? Union men of Georgia, shall I
iwe arraign you upon this sentiment? If so,
we tell you that we will dare to meet the foe
in our midst. Will you murmur if we call
your organization a “Lincoln Aid Associa
leiation?” This is the very doctrine that
vpnr ally would have you promulgate at
‘present, that immediate disunion ought not.
to occur on any ground.” Turn your cars to
ward the North, and catch the echo ns it re
peats your declaration. Every Biack Repub
lican will nurse your patriotism, and Long I
John Wentworth—Mr. Lincoln’s right hand
man—will declare that there is no longer
need ot the terrific suit of John Brown in
Georgia, but tender I heir condolence for the”
very existence of a few dern.
In conclusion this meeting says: “Having
given these reasons why wo think the Union
ought not to he hastily dissolved tor any
cause, and especially on account of the elec,
tion ot Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency, and
yet, feeling that our grievances demand re
dress, we proceed now to slate what we think
is the proper course to he pursued.” We
shall not comment upon Iho wisdom of their
suggestions ns to a proper course to ho pur- j
sued, but would simply state, that as that 1
course is founded upon the louse, ludicrous i
and foolish reasons which wo have examined, |
that it, too, must he erroneous and of wrong |
policy. The premise is erroneous therefore 1
the conclusion is also false. As tor ourselves. i
1 we think that the quickest cure for our pres
• ent evils, and the most summary redress for
i our grievances, are alone to be had in ihe
i shortest road to separate independence,
i We have felt constrained thus to pass un
der review the work of this meeting, he
. cause of the tendency which it might exert
i in some quarters, in misleading other coun
s ties. There are perhaps a number of our
fellow citizens who are not decided as to the
■ best course to be pursued in the present
’ question, and it is under the npprehensioti
> that these might be deceived, by the apparent
multitude of reasons why Lincoln's inaugu
ration should not be resisted by secession,
that we have attempted to expose their flim
ziness. Let this class beware how the}’ con
sult too freely the Union men, for there are
members of them who, entertaining a servile
admit alion for tlie Union, would sacrifice
every other inter st to it. And yet these
men, in some c.ises are upholders of the in
stitution of slavcty, hut rather than dissolve
this glorious, harmonious Un.on, they would
willingly give up this necessary element of
Southern existence.
We would not be understood as charging
this upon our friends of Greene county, nor
indeed of questioning tlieir loyally to thS’
South. We make no charge against them;
we believe that many of them, when they see
the indirect eneouiagement which their po
sition ; i sto the enemies of their I.tsti uiion
will, iriiui mutters of policy, if for no other
reason, alter it. We have only endeav
ored to .sh w the Southci n people where such
positions would place them. Wo accord to
the citizens of Greene tlie same magnanimous
exoneration from a want of fealty to the
South, that they accord to our Northern
brethren in the election of Lincoln. This
meeting declared ill it if they (the Northern
people) had known that disunion would have
followed Itis ei otion, they never would have
elected him. Rowe declare that if they (the
people of Greene) had known that they were
giving encouragement to the enemies of the
South, and were leading Southern men ar
ound them astray, they would never have
done so.
Since writing the above, the issue of tbe New
York Sun of the 31st, a Black Republican
sheet, lias been placed in our hands, which
contains a telegraphic dispatch from Augus
ta, Ga., heralding this meeting, us one of tho
largest “ever held in Greene county, and ap
plauding the conservative spirit evinced in
tlieir resolutions.
A similar notice of a meeting in Hancock
county is also given. And as its legitimate
effect, thee ditorial of that issue is published
under tlie flaming word Reaction, and reads
thus: “The telegraph informs us Hint the
people in Greene and Hancock counties, Ga.,
have risen against the politicians, and in
convention denounced secession agitation. It
is proable that these mectihgs arc bnt the be
gintiing of a conservative reaction through
out the Cotton .States. Wo are confident that
if the people in that quarter will really speak,
the politicians will he compelled to hold their
tongues or follow suit.” Above, Georgian o
wo anticipated an echo, and to our chagrin
and mortification, we are greeted with its
baneful sound before tlie ink is scarcely dry.
Like vultures, in search for prey, these hell
hounds of abolitionism arc eagerly grasping
every straw of anti Southcrnism that may be
found upon our stirring waters, and are dil
ligently appropriating them to tlieir nefari
ous purpose. The work of secession is no
longer confined to the politicians, we, the
people, have it in hand, and it will surely
succeed. “Its blood be upon us and our
children” Rouse! Georgians; shake off
your lethargy ; the enemy of your firesides is
wooing for traitors in jour midst. Let us
face them in their open declarations, nnd let
us baffle them in their attempt at wiley
seductions. “Shall we lie supinely upon our
backs until our enemies have bound us band
and foot ?”

Meeting at I.ouisvitlc, <;a.
In answer to a call made by a respectable
number of the citizens of this county, a
large number of its voters, irrespective of
party tics, assembled at. the Court House, to
deliberate upon our federal relations. Cap
tain J. W. Bothwell was called to the Chair,
J. 11. Wilkins, Esq,, acting as Secretary.
In order that business might bo expedited,
it was moved and carried that .Mr. Beniah
| Cars wo 1 should act as a Vice President.
Up n the motion of W. A. Stokes, tlieChair-
I man appointed a committee of nine to pre
pare business for the meeting, which commit
tee were as follows: IV. A. Stokes, Jas. G.
Cain, W. P. Johnson, U. P. Little, John Al
exander, Henry G. Wright, R. W. Cat-swell,
W. 11. Bailej-, and Owen P Fitzsimmons.
The committee reported, for the constdera
t.on of the meeting, two sets of resolutions—
a majority report advocating a withdrawal of
the Southern States from the Union; and a
minority report fnv ring submission to the
election of Lincoln to the Presidency.
There being much speaking, nn-i conse
j qucntly g a at coninsion and excitement, the
('hairtn:in (’apt. But’ well, re-igned his seat.
. The t ic • Pres.dent, Mr. Carswell, thru took

Mr. Carswell, having left the house with
those in favor of stthmiss.on ) J. 11. Wilkins
Mill acting ns Seeivtarj-. upon the motion of
J- G. t’.-iin the fallowing ievolutions were ul
uiost unnniniou-ly adopted:
WHEtit-ns, Iruour opinion the election of
Liiieo’u and Hamlin to ti e Presidency and
Vice Presidency of the United States raises
an issue which can lie decided only by the
voic.’ of the people of our State, and believ
j ing that there should he til au early day an
’ expression of that voice—
: Ji so'v and, That in our o) inion there should
.*’ a State Convention held at an early day
to express the determined judgment of Geor
| gi.i upon the issue land -and presented hy the
late e'ec.ion for President and Vice Presi
dent of the United Stales.
I Reso.’red, That as good and lojal citizens,
’ we will await to hear the judgment of our
! State, and when given will use our best en
deavors to fully and perfectly obey and car
ry out Ihe same.
Reeolveti. That while we will submit to the
judgment of our Stale, as anticipated in the
previous resolutions, still we are decidedly of
the opinion that there should he at this time,
or at least hy the 4th of March next, a per
fect and unanimous withdrawal on the part
of all tiic Southern Slates from this Union.
Resolved, That previous to the day of elec
tion of delegates to a State Convention, a
day be set apart for fasting and prayer to
Almighty God that, asa people, we may hum
ble ourselves before him nnd implore His
guidance and protection in this fearful emer
gency.
Upon motion, it was ordered that these
proceedings be sent to the True Democrat,
published at Augusta, and the Louisville Ga
zette, with the request that they bj published.
The meeting then adjourned.

By reference to our columns will be seen
the proceedings of one of the largest, most
influential, and enthusiastic? meetings ever
held in Athens, held at the Town Hull, on
Saturday the 17th lost., to consider nnd ex
press what is our solemn duty in the pres
ent condit ion of the country, consequent on
the elect ion of Lincoln. Many hundreds of
the wisest, most reliable and influential, the
oldest as well as the young men were present
from the counties of Clarke, Banks, Madison,
and Jackson. All the stores in town were
closed during this council of the people.
With wise counsel, with a culm trust in God,
and with firm determination, they marked
out their course, that the secession of Geor
gia from the present Union, (onorby the 4th
of March next,) is demanded botli l>y our
honou and tlie absolute safety of our people.
We rejoice that tbe blood of the revolution
and the spirit of independance is not yet ex
tinct. When the venerable President of the
meeting. Gov. Wilson Lumpkin, and the hon
ored Chairman, of the committee of fifteen
on resolutions, ihe Hon. Asbury Hull spoke,
who did not feel the solemnity of the occas
ion, and with his heart pulsating with pride
for Georgia. On being called upon, the Rev.
Dr. Hoyt gave us his counsel, and pointed us
to God always, for our guidance. The Rev.
Mr. Hinton gave us truly a great address;
profoundly augumentative, eloquent, convin
cing, boldly spoken, for the immediate inde
pendence of Georgia—it was worthy the no
blest, patriotic (lays of the Republic.
The resolutions were seconded by T. R. R.
Cobb, Esq., nnd at the conclusion of his
speech, were passed unanimously, amid pro
longed cheers and the greatest enthusiasm.
The address of Mr. Cobb was one of the
ablest ever delivered in the Slate. While he
touched the heart with the living fires of pa
triotism. he convinced the mind—the reason,
hy facts and arguments that arc unanswera
ble. Would that every man in the South
could hear them from him. They would as
