The Independent Georgia. —This excellent company, of which wo have spoken of so favor ably on many previous occasions, it will be remembered, bad the good fortune to win the first prize—a beautiful silver trumpet—ou the late anniversary parade of the department. Tuesday night, the gicmbersof the company, and a large number of invited guests, assem bled at the hall,on Washington street, aud had a most pleasant and social jollification of the event. Among those present we noticed Aldermen Smith, Reed and Denning, Assistant Chief Engineer Roberts, Captain Sheehan, of No. 7 ; Captain Byrnes, of Hook and Ladder; Captain Kircb, of No. 1; Captain Hortoo, of No ft; Captain Moore, of the Mechanic; Lieu tenant Dunbar, of No. 4 ; Captain Phillips, o' No. 8 ; and many other members of tbe Fire Department. The press was represented by Mr. John L. Ells, of the Transcript, and Mr. Martin V. Calvin, of the Chronicle A Sentinel An agreeable unexpected event was the pre sentation of two large photographs of ex-Prc- Ridont Davis, by Mr. James Cole, of tbo firm of Perkins & Co., to the Georgia and Mechanic. In behalf of the donor, Mr. Martin Y. Calvin prosonled the pictures to the Georgia and Me chanic, accompanying tbe presentation by an appropriate tribute to the sterling qualities ol ex President Davis Capt. Roswell King, in a few eloquent remarks, reqoived the gift in behalf of the Georgia, and Mr. Thomas Fisher returned thanks in behalf of the Mechanic. The presentation of the photographs over, Lt. Dodd, of the Georgia, gave an order to charge tbe table at the end of the room, which was groaning under the weight of some pala ( able substarit.inls and choice wines. The order was promptly oboyed and the good things ra pidly disappeared. After the removal of tbo cloth, several gentlemen were called upon ami delivered ihcmselveß of speeehes and senti ments which wero vociferously applauded.— Want of space, however, prevents our giving the names of ihe speakers and the natnro of their remarks. Suffice it that the utmost good feeling and hilarity prevailed throughout tho ( veiling, the social gathering winding up with what is termed a stag dunce, and the members and guests departing homewards at the small hours well pleased with thomsolvos and “the rest of mankind." Long live the Georgia. Pctsonal. —We h>rd the pleasure of rfceet - ing our clever and worthy friend, Mr. E.

Affairs in New Orleans.— A letter from New Orleans says : “The amount of properly for sale in this city is really wonderful. Auc tioneers ami real estate brokers have theii hands lull, and ouo sees their announcements of sales on a large number of lots, stores, ware houses and dwellings. As a general thing property in the city commands a good pricn, and finds ready sole. I was told that oi < auctioneer here Bold ne<rly a million dollar*- worth of property last month. The most ol this is bought up by Northern men." Letter from General Forrest. M. C- Callaway, Editor Avalanche: On my arrival in Memphis, a few days 6ince, from my plantation, a copy of the Ava lanche was shown me, in which I am repr< - seated as having fled the country. I tbar.k you for the kind manner in which you vindi cated ray name from misrepresentation. Ow ing to the relations you occupied towards n.e daring the last thrte years, I know of no ope Letter calculated to do me jostice than youi self. Tour representation of certain incidents in my military career are true, and will be corroborated "by every man in nay command, and by most of the colored troops, somp oi whom are men in my employ. Bat in defend ing me, I regret that you should suppose fore moment that I could be induced to leave the country. Certainly no act or expression ot mine could have furnished ground tor sneb u Supposition. In surrendering my command in AC’ril last, in a public address to my troops, 1 urged them to return home—to be true t iheir obligations, and, as they had made good soldiers, I knew they would make good, law abiding citizens. No soldier of my command h»3 btt-u false to his pledges. I have certain ly been true to mine, for, since the surrender, 1 have been silent and unobtrusive, quietly laboring upon my farm, and I regret my seclu eion is so often disturbe Iby reports in ibe newspapers, which are as unjust to the goy y cinmi-nt aa they arc to my own character. *1 have never committed an act, uttered a word, or entertained a sentiment notin strict accord ance with the mose humanizing military usages, and tear no investigation into my conduct. 1 pertainly do not intend to leave the country, • fa" my destiny is now with the great Ameri can Union, and I shall contribute all my in fluence toward Strengthening the government, sustaining its credit, and uniting the people once more in the indissoluble bands of pet.ee and affection.

The President’s veto ol* the Freedman’s Bureau has brought matters to a crisis between tbe President and the dominant party in Con gress. This veto has. created an immense sen sation hero. Tue Conservatives are jubilant Radicals are about as mad as men can well get to be, who have any regard to their own comfort. They denounce the President as a’trator. Wade, in the Senate,said the Presi j dent wanted to introduce white-washed triators in Congress, and was no better than they were. The RadidWs were taken all aback by the veto. They expected if a veto was sent in it would he a milk afjbd water affair, founding itself on feme of theyletails of the not resting on essentials, pus keeping the door of reconcilia tion half -dpen. But the President’s sledge hammer mode of doing the business has dis sipated these pleasing illusions, and they see that there is a gulf between themselves and the White House. They see and feel that the gulf of separation is too wide and profound to be bridged over by party tactics. The war be tween the Executive is now fairly inaugurated, and the country is destined to pass through a tremendous political struggle. The war will increase in bitterness every day. Already the threat of impeachment is heard, but the fate of tbe bill in the Senate shews that the necessary two-thirds cannot be connted upon to dispose of tbe President in the last resort. There is nothing left then but the appeal to the people. Tbe President has on his side the common sense and statesmanship of the question, and the power of patronage. Besides, he has a great advantage in his own ability, which is far su perior to anything his opponents can bring to bear against him It would seem, therefore, that the victory would ultimately be with the President, especially if the South will act her part with wisdom. The great points the Radi cals will mAke is that the people of tbe South do not in spirit and in truth accept tho new order of things, and that to leave the freedmen defenceless in tbe hands of tbe Southern peo ple is to deliver the lamb tothe wolf. By pur suing a wise course on both these points tbe South can strengthen the President’s hands im mensely. Indeed, it is not going too far to say, that the South, by her wise and masterly conduct, can insure the triumph of the Presi dent. It is difficult to exaggerate the import ance of the crisis to the South. If the Radi cals carry tho day and trample upon the Presi dent, the falure will bo gloomy and alarming 10 the South ; hut if the President carries the day, ihe future will be full of light and hope to the South. In his recent visit hero to testify before tbe Reconstruction Committee, General Lee was troated with the greatest respect by his oppo nents. And his triends, who are numerous here, made the3trongesC demonstrations of attach ment. General Lee was in good sj irils and spoke in the highest term 3 of both the Presi dent and General Grant. General Lee is very anxious to see the country entirely harmonized, and advises the most prudent and loyal line of action. It ie thought by tbe knowing ones that the Cabinet must go to pieces. It fs thought Stanton and Harlan and Speed will certainly ffiH Aiit ,sU«w<kr<l HursMA'ißtf ihft Pr«wd6nt. A public meeting takes piaoa to-day in G»;« cn.v to sustain the President--.'THA people hero are overwhelmingly for the President. The propo sition to turn the hordes of negroes on them as voters has stirred them up profoundlv. They take it most unkindly. Tho more prob ability of the calamity appeared to exert an in jurious influence on the price of real estate. It is their sympathy with the supposed opinions of the President on this point that makes them such ardent friends of the Prosident. Tt is a noticeable fact that the employees of tho government here generally side with the Presi dent. Peihaps they know which side of their bread is buttered. Mr. Pollard has been here to get the inter diet laid on the Examiner removed. He had interviews with the President aod General Grant. The paper will commence its issue again on the understanding thatrit is to be somewhat more circumspect in the future. You have seen, doubtless, General Grant’s order for the suppression of such papers as run counter to the p ;)icy of restoring harmony. It would be well if he would extend his attention in this particular to certain Radical papers, such as the Washington Chronicle, the New York Tribune, who propagate, with the most untiring zeal, the religion of hate. If the Southern papers are put on their good beha vior,|they should be required to haul in their horns a little. All the good manners and con sideration should not be required on ono side. The rule should be general in its application.

We now print the letter of President Johnson in reply to the invitation sent to him, declining th 5 invitation, which will command general attention : Executive Mansion, 1 Washington, D. C.. Jan. 2, 1866. / Sir: I take pleasure in acknowledging the receipt, from the Ancient Society of Tammany, of an invitation to attend their serai centennial celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of New Orleans.

Tbe inspirations derived irom the contem plation of common trials, common victories, and national traditions encredly cherished by every American,cannot fail to exert an import ant influence in healiDg the irritation of sec tional wounds and strengthening the feeling of devotion to the Federal Union, the maintain tnce and preservation of which, in all its dig nity and pnrity, was tbe sole aim of the in trepid and incorruptible patriot,‘Andrew Jack son .
