This hypothesis, aloue, can account for this jutdden * and complete abandonment of the tavorll# object whieti ha and his party have jtad in view both before and since the war— the abolition ot slave!} —-the abandonment of Jdnoolu's eui&u* Ipatiou proclamation and all that has boon effected under it lu the way of fleeing the slaves ot Southern masters.

Nothing but the prospect of inevitable defeat to his party, ami his own political power and influence, could have ex tarted such a concession from his lips. * Tr. K IMESIIItVI's SPIMCIf. j 7'he eccentricities of genius and the obli quities ot public tuuctior.aries, have ever been subjects of wonder and remark. President- Bavin has ttartled tiie people of this f.'onfcde iaey by a speech, wlihji to say tiie least ot i ( , ii mat feed l»y scan: exfr&ordinary pecuinrities. We venture to say tliat it is the mo?t remarka ble speech that ever fell men executive lips. Y ielding Ho ponatitutional. petuliance, to the luipuissy. of iiersonal prejudice and acrimony, he has descended from the dignity of his posi ti; i: so far as to assail with terms of unde i abuse and unjust reproa.'h two individu als of thaiingnisi-ed official character, who rmjoy -i large share of tho confidence aid esteem oi, the Southern people. . Our wortliy Governor is the first object of the President's ire fl la his proclamation call iac out tfie mititiu for lire defence of the ■Slate, lie intornird our 'citlMlis, in order to stimulate them to rrspond, that lie iird been .rjii’.ftllv liotifled that Georgia must furnish fflo additional troops required for her own de fence. in adverting to this statement, which Governor liiowu is doubtless prepared ti^ suhsteutiate, tho President indulges iu such acrimonious expressions as, “Miserable man ; The infill who uttered this was a scoundrel. He wan not a man to save our country.” It i* unnecessaiy io comment upon the bad taste and glaring impropriety of such ex pressions applied by the President of tire Con lederacy to a Governor of tho sovereign State of (leoigiu, in a speech delivered upon her own soil, and before an audience of her' own people. They are apparent to even his own . effost ardent adndreis and servile apologists. It is equally unnecessary to defend Governor Brown against euch assaults, in the midst of consritin,r.cy, hy whom he is so well known, and has bi.cn so long honored and trusted. The people e! thja Slate will not be disposed to yield lo President liavis, himself, Pie superiority over our noble and imlepou dent chief Executive in pure aiuTioftv patriot ism and unflinching and unswerving intogrity. •Suc-h expressions as lie has chosen to apply to the Governor ol this State, will only excite, the regret of all sensible ami just persons that he should have so far forgotten what was due to his own position and to the public as to have used them. Gen. Joseph K. Jehnston is the next illus trious victim of the President’s ill-natured and ill lined reproaches. I!“ remarks of h’m with luthlc*X*Rui,iicr, ‘ ip 1 knew a General did not possess the 'i;ia ! iti.w io Wtatfir"} tnH' lihWTi'. Vu iVi'o'ng IT no was nod removed ?” T here J.< a wide and irreconcilable diuecence of opinion between tfie 1 ’resident and both lln army and the people, as to t he qualiflca Lions of Gen. Johnston. They adhere to the conviction that lie is eminently fitted to com mand an uttti.y, and the vimlictiml enunciation of ITosident D.ivis will in nowise tend to shake that conviction. Since the fill of At Inula, they die more convinced than ever of liis whdom and ability. This unjust and un heedmiug attack upon liis fair fame will only strengthen the belief that he has been the victim of person iW prejudice and ill-will. Animated l>v (he same deep rooted preju dice against this able and patriotic General, the ITosident also remarks: 1 Jtaow tin* deep disgrace felt by Georgia at ourlvmy falling back from Dalton to the in terior of the State ; but 1 was not of those who considered Atlanta lost when our army crossed the Chattahoochee. 1 resolved that jt should not, and i then put a man iu command who L knew would s'like au honest aud manly blow for the city, and a Yankee’s blood was matte to nourish tho soil before the prize was won. T he President is peculiarly unfortunate in this allusion to ti>e facts connected with’the tall of Atlanta. Gen. Johnston, with a wise foresight, billy justified hy subsequent events, saw that it would be necessary, with the inad ffp'iite force then under his command, to c\ac uate Atlanta. But the President, laboring tinder a mistaken apprehension of Ihe situa tion, thought otherwise. He says “h° rfo solved that Atlanta should not be lost, and put u mail in command who he knew would strike an hi lo st, anil manly blew for the city’, and ninny a Vankee's blood was made to nourish the soil before tho prize was won.’’ Aye and the blond of many a noble son of the South ii co noun bed the soil before the President’s seFem" of holding Atlanta against the odds opposed, was proved vain ami abortive. (fed. J.ihnston would have saved ail that blood, ail that needless sacrifice of valuable wen whom we could so ill spare. Ho would have fallen back fioni Atlanta with his itviny intact, unbroken in ruinberr and spirit. liy disaster ; iu>l then would have undertaken the execution of the very flank movement which is now iu progress, lie would not have u!l nud .'lierman.the time which-hits been af forded him to accumulate supplies, but wan'd with the reinforcements sent to Hood have fallen at once upon the rear of ti e enemy jfod compelled his retreat, by cuttiug his communications. This was his plan. Subse quent events have fully corroborated its wisdom, and shown that it would have been better for us Jf Gen. Johnston had been per mitted to carry out his masterly strategy. Now, after needless sacrifices, and after (lie enemy has been permitted to acquire the pres tige resulting from the forcible capture of At lanta. the President is forced to adopt the plan ofthe modern Fabius, with diminished resour ces, with a weakened army, and under less favorable circumstances. Never was there a proscribed Genenl mere completely vindicated by subsequent events than is (fen. Johnsiou at this moment, in the public estimation. Ibis nngeuirous attack of the President will but serve to clear bis mili tary reputation of the slightest shadow of blame or reproach by directing public atten tion (o the actual facts of the case. This sin gular eoutroveisy has been unprovoked and n#sough«J|l this worthy and patriotic servant of ; the people/ It has been forced upon hint by the president, who manifests an unbecoming eagsruetw to crush a valuable and deserving subordinate, for the.gi#ifiration of hi? own irascible and nuappeas ible temper. Rut Gen. Johnston will come out of it with unblemished escutcheon, and enjoying a still greater meas ure of the confidence and regard of his coun trymen. We have commented freely upon these ob i' Ctibnrdde portion* of the President « speech influenced by a sense of duty to tire public, and to the distincuLJied parties whom be has chosen to asfciil. We Hold that the President, cp. !!y with every other servant of tb< people is amenable to them for his acts and tyeeche am! equally liable to be arraigned -at the bar of public opinion. We repudiate with scorn •he dogma of parasites and sycophants, that the President, like the King, can do no wrong, nnd that it is treason to the government to make ’ "dicta! ■■"?»•! Cur subject oj free an;l impar tial criticism. There are other poinls iu this speech which we may notice hereafter. WHO ih TO BLAME t That there is someone to blame for the pres ent lamentable condition of affairs, in the State of Georgia, is a self evident proposition to our mind, it is our firm conviction, ttnt it could have been averted. And, entertaining I his conviction, we can aot repress a feeling of deep hut just indignation, at seeing a vast in vading army entrenched in the heart of our Slate, the country ravaged and devastated in i every direction, and tiie proud sovereignty of Georgia humiliated, It has all along been apparent to the most superficial observer, that a very moderate reinforcement sent to the army of Tennessee. could have checked Sherman's advance.- We have abundaut warrant for stating, that the responsibility for this fatal amission, does not rest with the late comm inder-in-chief. He begged in vain for more troops. He ex erted all ills influence lo obtain a force to be thrown in the rear of the enemy, without Euccess. I: Is wise recommendations and earnest entreaties were unift'eded byjthe Admin istration, and tiie enemy was permitted to ad vance to Atlanta, despite his utmost efforts to retard liis progress. Gen. Johnston, like a true patriot’, conznibE luted the country on his own removal from command, hoping that tho Administration would give to his successor tlui support which was denied to him. It ia in vain to allege that -,ve have not had the forces to spare, to send to Georgia. Gin. Lee was ho stiong before Petersburg f.nd Richmond, that wan able lo send an army for tiie invasion of Maryland. Why was it not sent out to relieve this iilate from an in vasion, threatening her deirtrftctionf The Federal* have withdrawn all their forces from he Trans-Mississippi department, and sent them to reinforce Grant and Sherman. Why aver'.' i.hpi.. “ct fc•jtv.vetl hyii f Kastoi potties ■ ? Kirby Smith’s arm j? Why was not Forrest permitted, when Johnston asked it to fall upon the enemy's rear, which we know he was anxious to did Surely some other cavalry leader con'd have attended to the f.tica whip ped and routed force threatening us from Mem phis. It is in no ■ spirit of fault finding that we write, hut from a deep sense of duty to the public. IVe call upon the President to awake, aud send the forces at his command to the re-< lief of Georgia. She has a right ts ‘demand this, and does demand it.. Overrun by a rutlr-, less aud destructive sos, .she has a right to speak out. and will. Her sacrifices entitle ter to a hearing. The vast national interests in volved in her safety, demand instant action— the prompt employment of all the forces, now aavilable, for her deliverance. In these strictures, we utter no crude opinions of our own, we indulge in no impertinent interference in military matters—but simply reiterate the conclusions of the best military capacity in the country, and cf common sense. A BearSfor.t.—E. llarkncss, jr„ and Frank Simms, while on a shet burning excursion near their hay ranch, fourteen miles west of I.oke Tahoe, on June 30, came in contact with a large grizzly bear. He was first seen Dy Ll,it knees, and was;about forty yards off. He had a few days before before put a bullet hole through the heart of a bear at the distance of one. hundred and fifty yards, but this time the baW struck a little *bove the heart, only en raging the animal instead of killing him. — The brute, in his agony, made rapid strides towards his assailant,, who stood bis ground considering what was best to be done under, the peculiar and very unpleasant circumstan ces.' When within striking distance the bear reared upon his hind feet, and seemed to offer a fair fiistienff. in accordance with the rules of the ring. The chivalrous challenge was mot by the hunter thrusting the barrel of his rifle a foot or more down tiie bear’s throat. While bruin was in the net of resenting this insult by smashing the stock of the rifle and mark ins the barrel with his teeth, the hunter after a little rc-fle.c’ion, thought it prudent to retreat. At this qritioal Juncture, Simms an experienced hunter, who was about seventy ftvs yards dis tant, lodged another ball in the body of the beast, Who immediately turned and made a. plunge towards the report of his rifle. Simms dodged behind a tree, the bear passed forward evidently without seeing him. although mor tally woumded, the animal escaped down the side of the mountain through the underwood , and granite liowld*rs. —Sncminmio 'Union. Ax A mil-tick. — 'The people of both sections desire au aimistice. They believe that if hos tilities suspended for six months the war would be virtually ended. Should such an ar mistice be declared, and-the South refute to go back into the Union, it is questionable whether the party th.it supports McClellan would go to war again to coerce the seceded States; whilst it is almost certain that the re publicans could not rally the people to the support of the war, the failure es which would have been admitted by the very declaration of the armistice. Nor would the Republicans support tne war for the purpose restoring the Union as it was, with slavery and the fugi tive slave law included.

After hearing the statements of Mr. King, the Governor replied : Please make to General Sherman an ac knoledgment of my obligation tor the per sonal courtesies which you sr»y he proposes to extend to me. But as lie is only a General commanding an army ia the field, and I the Governor of a State, neither the Constitution of his country nor of my own, confers upon 11s any power to negotiate a treaty of peace. We pWbably hold but few sentiments in common, but if wo should agree in rfvery. particular, we would have power to bind no one by any com pact we might make. As our interview could therefore result in nothing practical, I most decline the invita tion. YVhrle the portion of the State now in the Year of Gen. SiicrmuL's army is held by him and the execution or the, taws of the State suspended by armed force, I know of no ser vice which I coulcj'rend- r to the people of that section by a personal vi it. If 1 could better their condition or mbigate lhair sufferings, I would, on their account, cheerfully go at the expense of any inconvenience or personal sacrifice which the trip might cost me. To the remark that General bherman doee-not. wish to be compel&d to overrun and 'desolate more of the-territory of Georgia, l reply that no compulsion rests upon him to attempt this unless it be the cruel orders of ins Government. If he makes the effort, lie .wi ll find much great er difficulties in the way of iEs advance for tbo next hundred tfcoso e^eo»a4t-r<-4- durriig lift march frdlfl Dalton to Atlanta.— Georgia may possibly he overrun, but never can be subjugated, and her peoble will never treat with a conquerer upon her ‘ oil. Asa sovereign State, she had the undoubted right to dissolve her-connection with tho Gov ernment of the United Stater, when the com pact.had been violated by the other States of the-Confederacy. and to form anew compact, which she has done. She is as sovereign to-d?y as she was the day she seceded from the old Union, and has the saute power, hy a conven tion of her people, which she then had to re sume all delegated powers, ana-all the attri butes of sovereignty, and then to decJare*war, negotiate .treaties-of peace and do all other #cts w hich a sovereign Slate may do. While Mhis power rests in her people who are the original source of all sovereignty, tier Constitu tion formcd.by them, ha« confcrred.no such pow on her Governor. The fact must not be overlooked however, that while Georgia possesses the sovereign pow er to act separately, herfftitlx which never has, and I trust never will be violated, is pledged by stiong implication", To her Southern sisters, that she will not exercise this power without eonsent on their part, and concert of action with them. In league with her Southern sister States, she entered.into this contest with full knowledge of ail the responsibilities which at tached to the act; and come weal or woe, she will never withdt*tv from it in dishonor. How ever unequal may be the proportion of suffer- sacrifice which her people mav have to euentre, she will never make separate terms with the enemy which may free her territory from invasion anil leave'the Confederates in the Lurch. ■' Whatever upiybe the opinion of her people as to the injustice done her by the Confederate administration, site will triumph with her Cou fedi'H'te sistevf, she will.sink with them in one common ruin. The,intelligent people of Geor gia already understand, and her enemy will soon learn, that the’independent expression of condemnation of errors, to use no stronger ternj, of the administration is one thing, and disloyalty to our sacred cause, is another, and buitc a different thing. While the people of Georgia think for themselves and wiil pot blindly applaud the mismanagement o( tiu-r lulers, they will never violate principle for ex pediency, nor accept dishonor for reward. The Inundations of cur Government and the liberties of the people, rest upon the soverign ty of the Stated, as their chief corner stone. Destroy the sovereignty, of the Stated, and the whole fabric (alls to the ground, and central ized, power with military .de*ppti-m takes the place of Constitutional liberty. When the passions of the people North and South have sufficiently subsided, we may m ike peace by negotiation, but never b keyword. if Mr. Lincoln would have peer and pros perity re established upon a firm basis. M him stop the war, • and planting himself upon th»* principles of tire Declaration of lod-'pendencn" of 1770, let him recognize the sovereignty of the States, ami agree to leave each sovereign ■ State to determine for herself, by a convea- I tion of lw people whose delegates shall be ; fairly chosen by the legal, voters of the State, ! without military interference or intimidation, i what shall be her future connection—-whether she will remain in, ,qr if .ouf , rctumrto the old Union or adhere to her present league. There may be doubts whether Kentucky, Missouri, and probably other States, de sire to continub their connection with the United States or to cast tfieir lot with the Confederate States. The Only just mode of solving these doubts, is thexuie above indica ted. If these or aay other Os the Southern States, should in solemn convention decide to go with the United States, neither theConfeder are Government, cor the other States can ob ject. Ww cannot govern. Kentucky for in stance against her will,; unless we can subjug ate her. ’ '" 1 'This, we have no power todo with the North ern States at her back: and if we had the pow er, we have no right- to coerce a sovereign State into a connection which is hot of her own choice. If thip were done, we must in future, govern her people by the bayonet, which would convert our republicanism kita the worst species of military despotism. So it must be with the North if Mr. Lincoln should succeed iu bis policy of conquering ug.

Robert, master, discovered the raH—their signal for tunately, mill flying, and despatched a boat to their assistance. Tenderly were they lifted in to it, and from thence transferred to the ship. It would be but reasonable to suppose that misfortune had now done with them. Not so. For whilst the officers and seamen of the Claire could not he too kind, dressing their wounds and in every possible way administering to their comfort, the master treated them with* harshness and severity uncalled for, most cru el under the eircmfiEtariCes, and with a nig gardliness that evinced a most mean tmd con temptible nature.

His o&cera were reprimanded for tak ing medicines from the ship's cbm for their relief.

It may seem improbable that life should be sustained so long under suck privations, but the Consul assures the "Journal” that there is no cause to doubt the truthfulness of the bar rator. “Had you listened to the sailors word--,’’ he exclaims, ‘ and seen his still attenuated frame, his blistered face, and limbs yet swoll- ! •u an< i scarred, with partially healed sores, j there would have been no room for skepticism ! in your mind.
