Cut who could have looked for the act? What sane man could have ex- pected it? Once on the road, Mr. Davis would rot ii ruse. It was still possible to prevent fur h n damage in Georgia; but in a set oration be inhumed the public that he had seen flood, and found his strategy ‘-good;’’ that he would ! c * s'aerman’s communications much furtlmr ' Sorth than the enemy expected,* and would ! r-.u-.c the retreat lic.m Atlanta to be more |(1 iv-.trousthan that of Napoleon from Moscor. I Hood's state ;7 is now well known: Hood went to >T:i-hville and Sherman to Savannah—with theresultrat present visible.

Fifty thousand men detached from iioe’s army, would liave ;.;jde nn impassable barrier to t-h« enemy. One battle would have exhausted his ammunition, and his destruction been inevitable.

It ] is published in the Savannah ltepr blicaa : Headq’rs, Military Div. of tbo Missis- i sippi, fc t’*.e field* j Sxvasxau, Ga., January S. 18C3. ) A W.— Fj:j County, #nt : Dear Sra : Veins ol the M i instant is re ceived, and in answer to your inquiries, 1 beg to state : ~ I am merely a military commander, and can only at* in that capacity; nor can 1 give any assurances or pledges affecting civil matters in the future. Tuey wiil be adjusted by Congress when Georgia is again represented there as of old. • Georgia ij) uot out of the Union, and there fore tho talk of*Teco:i3tiucti<u)' appears to me ioappropiiate. ootno of the people have been aa I still are iu a state ot revolt ; and as long as they remain armed and organized, the United States must pursue them with armies, aud deal with then* according to military law. But as soon as they break up their armed or ganizations and return to their homes, I take it they will be dealt with by the civil courts. Some of the rebels in Georgia, in my judgment, deserve death, because they have committed murder aud other crimes which are punished with death by all civilized Governments on earth. 1 think this was the course indicated by Gen. Washington iu reference to the Whisky Insurrection, and a like p»iciple seemed Io be recognized at the time ot the Burr conspiracy. As to the Union of tWstat.es under our Gov ernment, we have the high authority of Gener al Washington, who bade us to be jealous and Civoful of it, and tbe still more emphatic words o’s General Jackson, ‘‘The Union must and shall ho preserved.”. Certainly Georgians can not question the authority of such men, aud should not suspect our motives, who are sim ply fulfilling their command. Whenever ne cessary, force has been used to carry out that end, aud you may rest assure*l that the tfuion will be .preserved, cost what it may. And if you aro sensible men you will conform to this order of things or else migrate to some oilier country. There is uo other alternative open to the people of Georgia. My opinion is that no negotiations are neces sary, nor commissioners, nor convention?, nor anything of the kind. Whenever the people of Georgia quit rebelling against their Gov ernment; and elect members of Congress and Senators, and these go and take their seats, then tho State of Georgia will have resumed her functions in the Union. These are merely tny opinions, but in confir mation oi thorn, oi* 1 think, tue people of Goor gia may well consider tho following words, re ferring to the people of tho rebellious, States, which 1 quote from tire recent annual mess age of President Lincoln to Congress at its present session: “They can sit any moment have peace simply by laying down their qrms and submitting to tho national authority under the Constitution. After so much, the Government could uot, if it would, maintain the war against thorn The iov-al people wo.uid not sustain or allow it., It questions should remain, we would ad just them by the peaceful means of legislation conference, courts and votes.

Here is a copy of the official order: Headquarters Department of 1 South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, r Charleston, S. C , Dec 80, 1NII5.) His Jumlteney Jo*. Brown., Qouerm/i' of Georgia. Sir: There w&3 in Savannah a considera ble amount of cotton, for tha most part, prop erty of pilvato individuals, which, for want of transportation, it was impracticable to re move and v/h ! ch, being stored in buildings in various parts of the city, could yiot be destroy ed when Savannah was evacuated, without destroying the city. There can be little doubt that the cotton has been taken possession of by the Federal authorities nod will be applied to the use of the Federal Government. To prevent a recurrence of this, I have re spectfully to urge, as a matter of precaution, that all Cotton in Augusta or vicinity, to he reuK<ved;to> place of security, and that you will give the people notice, that in case Augusta should be endangered, all Colton will be de stioyed by the military au!ho:ity.

Fifty pounds is the tine inflicted by the Brit ish court upon the parties guilty of furnishing and fitting out the pirate Georgia to prey upon American commerce. There was no doubt whatever of the agency of the firm in the crime with which they were charged. Our countrymen can now estimate the exact cash value Brit ish courts set upon the good faith and honor of their nation. So says a Northern paper. By an order of the British Admiralty, a di ver has been appointed to every iron clad The armies of Europe have A total of 4,G!H,- 000, men costing annually $425,000,000. Rus sia has the largest army, numbering 1,200,000 men. That of France numbers 750,000 men. An elephant and bull fight took place lately at Saragroesa, Spain. The elephant was walking quietly about the arena when the first bull was released, and rushed at it with all his might. The elephant received his antagonist with great coolness, aud threw him down °with the utmost ease. The bull arose again and made two at tacks, which the elephant resented by kiiling him w,th a thrust of his tusks. The conquer or did not seem in the least excited.

Colonial vassalage before Territorial slavery : England rather than the United States will be the determination of these States whenever they are unable to cope with the enemy. Rich mond Enquirer. Vassalage in any form or to any power, is the most abhorrent and repulsive fate which we can imagt no for our beloved South. We are unwilling to entertain the thought for a moment that such a destiny is in reserve for her. We repudiate the idea<-f its possibility. The gallant and Christian people of the South, reared in the atmosphere of freedom, intelli gent, brave, aud free, were not nta ’e for vas sals. They have no adaptation to such a de grading condUian, and coni 1 not be reduced to it by any human power. Never will they to abdicate their own manhood aa to submit to it. In vain do visionaries propose it to them as an alternative iu any contingency. We religiously believe that ihe Providence which watches oyer us, intends for us a desti ny far higher-arid nobler than this. But of all vassalage, colonial—vassalage to a European monarch, to a foreign despot—ia the most odioH3 and inadmisaable. We have, been reared with au inborn hatred of monarchy, and all its pomps, its hoary abuses, and' ex acting tyranny. We ban never voluntarily sur render the priceless heritage ot republican in stitutions. Wo have experienced too much, wo have too strong and ineradicable a persuasiou of their intimate and indissoluble connection with national ireedom, prosperity and happi ness, to voluntarily give them up. Whatever may bo tho fortune of war we will most assur edly try to preserve them for ourselves and our children. Wo can imagine uc more degraded or piti able condition fov otirsaives than to become the subjects of a foreign Prince; receiving out laws from liis hand; with no other guaranty for our rights than his-royal patent; onr in terests subordinated to those of a loreign and alien Kingdom, to be sacrificed to its selfish views and aggrandizement; our peace sus pended ia tho doubtful balance of European policy. Aud how could our sturdy republi canism ever endure in our midst a titled he reditary nobility, the inseparable adjunct of royalty, with nil its iusufferaUfb pride and arrogance, its exclusive privileges and haughty assumptions. The very idea is preposterous. The whole scheme is wild aud visionary in the extreme, But the very fact that such a /oheme fc openly advocated in our Confederate capital, that it receives the sanction and support of such an old and influential journal as the En quirer, admonishes us of the necessity for the into position of the wisdom and couservatisrp. of the nation in tho present critical state of our affairs, to save us from self destruction, from tho evil effects of rash and intemperate counsels, of mad and visionary schemes. The cardinal aim of all should be to pre serve intact tho free institutions bequeathed to us by our father*, and not to suffer them to be wrecked in the whirlpool of passion. What ever emergency may come upon us, wo should prepare to meet it with dispassionate season and far-seeing prudence. We need practical statesmanship and deliberate wisdom. The people should consider well -and carefully what course will best subserve their own in terests and those of their posterity, and not permit their liberties and well being tobe bar tered away by panic stricken and reckless leaders. They are sovereign, the masters of their own destiny, and should hold the reins ia their own hands, giving no heed to <he indiscreet proposals of rashness and des peration. 'I’ll:; Rccoiit).—As yet we have seen but a single vote of the G.mfedjrato (’oagress, on the habeas corpus question, and this we place on record, that the people may know how their servau's bland, and for future reference. On the 25 til of December, Mr. Leach, of North Caroliu i, offered a resolution declaring that the writ of habeas corpus ought not so be sus pended, except in extreme cases, when Die public safely imperatively demanded it; that the people are united in a great struggle for liberty, aud that no exigency exists justifying its suspension.

Fourteen of those who voted nay-—lli.it is who voted to further trample upon tho liber ties of the people—are members of States who have never legally seceded, or whose States have voted themselves back into the Union again. It is by tho votes of meu who have no light to seals in the Confederate Congress that all our bad and despotic laws have been passed. Laws passe*! by- tbe votes of those members of Congress who have no right (o vote are un constitutional —even if their provisions did not make them such. They are no more binding upon the States and the people of jhe Con federacy than the edicts of the Emperor of China or Czar of Russia. The people of Georgia want good govern ment. They are willing to submit to consti tutional law. They are willing to give a hearty and undivided support to the same. But when they have a batch of unconslitutioil al and tyrannical laws forced upon them by men who have no legal right to say anything in the matter, they do not feel disposed to sub mit to them. The people hays rights. Lot those rights bS respected. Afl will then be well. Rcmobbd Fo»a»ixo Parties.— It is rumored in Macon that a large Federal foraging party of four thousand cavalry and numerous wag ons had gone into Montgomery county. I tuts:;;OH OK SPUE* H I’l l' UOIVA U\ TOE U.i\ iffiEl*. A fi w days since we beard the startling news that a meeting of the citizens in Jackson couu- i ty had been broken up—and that without resist ance—by the interference of a military com mander iu that section. Wo were loth to cred |[t such a roper;, aud did not at the time. V. r e could not believe that any Southern soldier had so far lost sight of the great principles we are struggling for, as to be guilty of such con duct. We could not believe that any body of Southern citizens had so far lost ail reff-respect as to submit to such an outrage wi'hout re sistance—and it need be without defending their rights from despotic power by force of arms. The facts in tbe case, as we learn them; are t.'uesa. A meeting of the citizens of Jackson was called lor the purpose of instructing the representative of the county to vote* for a State Convention, in case Gov. Brown should con vene the Legislature in February. Gen. Glenn hearing a rumor that a “Union' ’ meeting was to be held, determined to suppress it. and tor that purpose cin icd a detachment of men to Jack son on the day appo’ntod. The citizens fear ing a disturbance did not hold tho meeting. The action of Gen. Glenn iu the matter, if wo have been correctly informed, was highly reprehensible. It is deserving of the severest censure. In the first place he bad tto business to interfere with a citizens’ meeting, no matter for what purpose it had been called—much less to interfere with a meeting called for the purpose the ono in Jackson conn ty was. In tho second place, if the meeting in Jackson had turned out to* be a treasonable meeting, no one had any light to take actesn in tho matter except the civil authorities. Neither would they have any light to inter fere upon mere hearsay rumor, aa the Con federate (ffieial did, but they would have only the right to interfere upon good anil sufficient evidence. But what have we here ? What fact are wo c-alicd upon to record t We are called upon to record the fact that tho free people of Georgia have boon prevented from exercising au indisputable and inalienable right by the interference of a military power! Well may every true lover of civil liberty stand aghast upon reading it. Well may every true patriot exolwm : Hut it come to this !] Is this the entertainment we wore invited to! Is this the k-nd o! liberty we arc fighting for! Is this' tho freedom our leaders are striving to estab lish ! Is it for this that so much blood ha g been spilled, so much treasure wasted! Is it for a government of this kind Dial we have struggled for for four years! Truly, as wo look around aud see the real condition of affairs, wo shudder at tho enormi ties committed in the name of liberty— enormi ties wiiich would shako the throne ot every European despot to its very centre and cause it to toiler and fail. It' things continue to pro gress hs the direction they have (or sometime past, wo shall be freemen in name—that is all. And Die most dchasc-ff nations that we rea-i of in history, are (hose who have allowed theii liberties to be wrested from them by their Own leaders. People ol Georgia ! Are you jeady to tame ly submit to such acts as these ? Ale you,ready to allow your blood bought libsi'ties to bo trampled under foot by a mliituiy official, no matter what may bo his station? Are you willing to set cileut'y by and see free speech and i'ico discussion crushed under the iron heel of a military despotism ? If not, tako ac tion in this matter. t And take it in such a way that your action will not be misunder stood. Give ihe military authorities to plain ly understand that you know what your rights are; that you arc ready to defend them from being infringdU upon; and what is more, that , you will defend them in case you aro forced so ito do. You have a right to bold conventions whenever and wherever you desire. You have a right to discuss whatever matters or public topics you choose. And if you be firemen, “worthy sens of worthier siren,” you will hold conventions whenever you please and discuss as you sco fit, without fear or restraint—always guiding your actions by tho constitution and constitutional laws. The Governor of Georgia should tako action in this matter as well as the people, The blow struck is a blow aimed at the very vitals of civil liberty. It is a blow given to tho founda tion of gpod government. Wo trust be will examine into Die affair at once; and if every thing is us reported, we hope his action wiii be prompt and decisive—and so effectual that even the I’reaident of the Confederacy would not even dare do in the future what one ts his officials has dono in tho past, Lot the Governor of Georgia announce in the name of tho Sovereign State over which fie presides, that despotic * kets of all kinds must cense upon her sacred soil. The people will rally around and sustain him in the posi tion. Know.s’ isy i-iikiu Dkkoj.—A at 9 are every tiling. Names aro nothing. A man should be judged by his deeds, not by his profession*. If a man claims to advocate one principle, and shows by bis acts that he advocates another his very course proves that bo its not to ire trusted. Deeds always iq»eak louder than words. Tb** e'istenco or non-existence of arbitrary government docs not depend upon the title or di'BOiuination bestowed on the chief of the .State, but-upon the quantum ol power wiiich lie possesses and wields. Autocrat, sultan, emperor, dictator, king, doge, president arc all .note names, in which the power, respectively possessed by them is not to bo found. The name by which a ruler goes docs not show what he is. It ra his acts. A people living under au emperor may be more free than a people living under a President, ’the President of this Confederacy is endeav oring to concentrate all the authority in his own hands—notwithstanding the constitution expressly denies him that which he is seeking. He desires to absorb and engross tho whole power in Isis own person and through his of ficial agencies tcaUercd throughout the land, and absolutely subjected to his control, to exe cute laws of his own suggesting according to his own pleasure or oaprioe. He is anxious to have matters arranged so that his own will alone will predominate in and animate the whole community. If this be not despotism despotism of the most absolute kind, then we Cannot conceive or define what despotism is. m~- A The Admission or Louisiana.— The New Or leans Picayune is advised from Washington, • that at last a bill has been framed upon the subject of a reconstruction of the Southern States, which will meet the approval of a ma jority of the members of Congr’-as, and will, therefore, be certain to pass.
