dueed by <hu border wars of Euglaml uni --eot- I
land, or the baronial contests of France and j
Germany ? What greater results were achieved !
by the guerillas of Spain ot Mexico ?
Napier —no mean authority on a military
question —has expressed the belief that the
guerilla bands of Smun were a i ositive disad
vantage to the Patriot cause during the Pentn- ;
sttlar war ; and he likewise esteemed it a sig- j
nal benefit to the Allies that they were finally
discountenanced by the Court of Madrid, i
•Judging from these lights of history, we are |
prepared to condemu the guerilla policy in,its '
application to our revolution,.
Indeed, it would with us he attended wbh 1
peculiar h-izirtls, because of the existence of a
servile population amo- u - doubtful loy

last that a portion ot tUse .-b»vee

conclusion is, that we, should, in no ev< i tvt, da
part from cur present plan of fi.. bring-nvititegr*

have before urged, to embrace i o earliest
opportunity to adjust the controversy on the

As time elanscM. uud people’s beads becoui-. 1
I cool, we are gradually ariivin.; at someth-iur
| like the truth regarding the extent of th ■ late
j battle befjte Richmond. From a g-nt < man
I who was tb<re during the fight ami took part
j in the evacu it ion consequent there trom, we
obtain the !ol:owing paiticulars :
It appears, according to our info in mi. that
j it had been ibo settie l determination of the
| Confederate Government to r. main in Rich

Pr, parntioas looking to its possible caotnra

disast-i cannot bu fully estim u.M, but, it is
1 stated that in killed, wound -d, au 1 prison.-s'...

| tin- H spitais id Richmond aiot-e there were
! about twelve thousand sick and wounded pa
I tk n.s, who ail fell into the hands of the c..»
I my ; while it is stated by those engaged in ib -
. fight, that when the work< on our ligiit were
i stormed and carried, the slaughter among our
: tinuked, retreating battalions, was, for a time,
: te iiblo. Idome seventy guns were captured by
J the enemy iu the tight, and aw many mo e
; vveie it f y our troops—it being found impos
-1 sibl • to it move them in time for a • successful
| ietreal A number of stores of all kinds were
burned.or left behind, though the io.-s in this
1 particular is not so great as we would have
S imagined, owing to the fact that the Govern
j meat had previously transported -all surplus
j stores to Charlotte and other points, as a pre'
| cautionary measure.
Ow’ng to the suddenness of die evacuation,
and the- consT rnation and’ eonfusiou
among a'l classes incident to the defeat of on*'
hitherto invincible soldiers, many mombere.of

about forty thousand.

\Ue learn that an instance of this sort has
lately occurred in Orangeburg District,.S C.,
m which a very estimable citizen, Mr. G. A.
N cutler, was a party. This gentleman has been
engaged tor a short time in bartering corn
and peas with tho Grauiteville uauulacturing

We presume from the above, that the fine
dinner spoken of, was for the common soldi irs,
and that they are to get such dinners .every day
instead of rations.
Also that the same abundant provision i6

ii is stated that the fight began on the op

back. The enemy pursued them so slosely
that our troops were unable to burn the

were captured on the bridge, while fighting

were accepted by certain Abolitionists of the

, There is. or was a striking coincidence of
thought between the Southern secessionist and
Northern abolitionist. The one would crush
out the ha’ed Yankee nation in thirty days ;
the other would ci ush out and entirely exter
minate the hated Southerner in tuesame time;
thus showing what delectable judges tUey
were of the character of their countrymen.
But notwithstanding the promises of these

me of the renowned Knight of Lamancha, and

ot chivalry. Oa one occas on they stopped
where there n pswture ft’id trirfcfcd tho
Knight’s celebrated Rorinant-e and Sancho’s

at the same place and turned their horses
loose for the .se, when Rosiaante
began to amuse himself with the horses in the
drove, which so enraged the carriers that they
fell upon him wi.h staves and beat him so
severely that they !e4t him oa the ground for
dead. At this, the Kniarht heoaine exceed
ingly filled with wrath, but preserving his
dignity, for whi h he was so remarkable, said
to Sancho, “Do you take my sword, and inflict
upon them a sufficient punishment for their

that in this capacity ihey may institute some

In all this I sympathize with the neopie and

That Government will then be sinaplv guilty of
the murder, in the estimation ol
its own people, oi every :an that is killed in
the further prosecution ot the war. Think
you then, that a united South would not stand
prepared in the language oi uie veto! it'ion to
win by t. ieir swoi'.D tin.'j i;t mo vsure o their
rights or fi I patriot giavea? Yon would then
have a disunited North vyun a united .south.
Ihe result of the siru ;le, it continued unaer
these circumstances, can easily be tuietoid.
But, say the opponents of the« Convention,
teirns have been offered and lejocted al-eady ;
they will be rejected, and it will oe degrading

lam not so sure of that. Measures mav be
inaugurated that m.r u timatelv result in
peace; and as to being by doing r.ght,
I have yet. to learn that a people can be ueg'-a
ded by doing right, be it "ever 60 often. Is it
not the duty ot every Christian man never to
weary in their efforts to stop tnis awlul effu
sion o blood? Withdraw as far as practica
ble the questions at issuy lrotn the arbitrament,
ot the swo' and, aud refer them to the umpire of
reason. • Fighting atone will never end this
war. I tell you so and I tell the North so.
The war men on both sides think and fferently ;
but you are mis.akeu. Should the North, by
superioi numbers, destroy our great armies,”
then wtli follow for years, possibly ag.-s, that
awlul" guerilla warfare, too hortid to contem
plate, and which they can never put .down.
Oh, that I had'theqpogue of a trumpet and ihe
voice of the w urlwind, that, tffsa gieat truths
might be sounit and in every Northern ear.
Bat I am still m*-r,*by the opponents of the
C'juveniion wiui objections Fiist, they aye
afraid that the people ot Georgia wiii Uive the
State oit of the Ooufederacy and join Hie
old Union. If the people wdl'it, they have tile
unquestioned right to do that thmg—as much
rigat to rej >in the old Union as to secede from
it. This is the right- ol s cession you are light
iug for. Again lam to. u that the people may

Mr. Lincoln smci.ro in this offer. Ii he expects
tho people of Georgia to accept this offer, f.
would point him taa scene that occurred a
few days since within a few tubes u my resi
doi'ce. A uumber ot negroes freed by his
proclamation o tuio to tho house of cue of 6ur
most ostUuabio cumene, advanced in year -, a
man that t suppose, ha inm an enemy iu tho
world, noted tor bis kindly nature, called him
out at midnight aud shot him dead,' in his
own piazza iu iha pre-cnoe of It Bwife and chil
dren, aud for no emit'.' that vVo know of, and
lrotn this scene 1 wpuk ;c. him take Lis ans
wer.
Mr. L. knows that to emancipate the negro
and leave him in our initis , a war of races
begins at on o, and either the white or the
black must, and will be extermmJted li is
the inierest of the North tint the negro
shouhl not tie’emancipated.' They, under the
oid Union, got ail the benefits of slavery, with
none ot irs inconveniences.. Apart trom the
feelings engeudere 1 by tlte war, a majority ol
i-ho North never wo dd have commuted to
emancipation without one consent.
But T am fold, again that a Convention will
divide the people a.id prevent union. 1 tail
you the people arc already divided. Let them
come together and do or cause to be done what
they think ought to be done, aud you will have
a united South By my resolution you do not
call the Convention ; you simply allow them
o call it themselves, if they want it, by en
dorsing '‘’Convention’’ Ou their ticke-.s It
they desire it, whence do we derive the powei
to hinder them ? You may dam up the Missis
sippi; you may chuaa the lightning ot heaven;
but you cannot chain the minds of the Ameri
can people.
Seuiiioia—Georgians—l appeal to y<,n with
all the earnestness or my naLtue, iusi-ired by
iho solemnity of the oocaiiou and tho . uonaen
tons issues involved in the question urmer con
sideration. I pray you stand not between the
people and their constitutional rights. I invoke
you in the name of humanity, religion ana
country, deny not to the peopie thoiy liberties.
They are quite as intelligent, quite as patriotic,
quite as deeply interested, aud quite as com
petent to judge of the great questions at issue
as you possibly can be. He who of old could
rend the o.ik, dreamed not of the rebound. -
Should you refuse to giant to the people their
rights, you will raise a storm that will sweep
you from p.iwer. I pray you pausa before you
shall do this great wrong. Allow the people
their rights. You say yo’ir Government has
made all podhibie efforts to make peace, but
have failed. Now let the people, through their
Convention, try. They may succeed Then
love, harmony and peace will shed their hea
venly influences over our distracted laud, and
mnuons yet unborn will rise up and call you
blessed.
