GEORGIA..

The information which our correspondent in Sa-
vannah gives in the following letter, is confirmed
by the details Of the convention, which appear in
the Georgia papers Among the journals which
take notice of the convention, and anticipate gori-
GUS victory, are the "Athens Banner" and the "Ma-
con Telegraph" The former says, ''the large num-
Der of delegates shows that public interest fully
awakened. The candidate nominated is one Of
Georgias most distinguished sons, who will do hon
to the party and to the station and the unanimi-
iy with which the nomination was made, gives
strong of corresponding unanimity in the
party at large, and consequently Of success. With
Mr. McAllister at our head--and that, too, by the
united voice of his political friends--we may boldly
encounter the present incumbent of the executive
chair, or any other candidate whom our opponents
shall venture to put forward, confident that
we shall redeem the State from the incubus
of whiggery"-The Telegraph" thanks the
convention for its noble spirit, for we believe
that it cannot be too highly commended, es-
pecally at moment of the deepest interest to every
true-heared American, to every republican, to every
Georgian At moment when great questions OF State
and Federal policy open and unsettled-when
our institutions are threatened by men at home, and
from beyond the sea--when foreign nation has
dared to NEEDLE with our afairs-and when her min
istry have sent an insulting defiance the At
lantic, we deem firm and unbroken union among
republicans, such that displayed by the convention,
ofthe highest importance; and hail it with exutaon,
renewal of the sacred to support the consti-
tuition, and to defend the only true temple Of liberty
ever erected upon the earth, at any and every haz-
ard The nomination of Matthew Hall Nc
Allister, of Chatham, as the republican candidate
for governor will be hailed with enthusiasm through
out the State. He needs no putting; his worth is
known by all who have watched his course in the
Legislature, or who have heard him at the bar
or upon the hastings. His powers as a polit.
ca writer debater, defy the assaults Of political
opponents, and never fail to give renewed ami.
nation and courage to his political friends. The
history of Mr.. McAllister's political course since
his first appearance in public life, is the history Of
a consistent and answering repubcan-ardenty
attached to that sacred compact Of JUSTICE liberty
and security, the constitution of his country; ant
his course while member Of the legislature as wei
as when out of it, has shown him equally devoted
TO the true interest and honor Of his native State
and the prosperity and welfare Of her citizens Al

II is impossible to pass over the powerful and
touching sermon, which was delivered by Bishop Pot
ter the lately elected bishop of the docess of Penn
sylvania, in St. Johns church, on Sunday last. II
was of the highest order Of pulpit eloquence. The
arguments drawn from the uniform belief of man
kind in favor of religion, and illustrating the i'm
mense benefits which it sheds upon the human
race, were pressed with fervor and a pathos
which we have never heard surpassed The por-
trait of Gen. Jackson, rising from poverty to the
summit of human wishes, and dying amid all the
consultations of our holy religionfollowed up by the
pictures Of the death Of General Harrison, and the
fate ofthe Princeton in this vcintyhrilled with an
irresistible force upon an awe-struck and affected
congregation. We congratulate the diocess of Penn
sylvania upon the master spirit whom they have
called into their service.
We presume the late bereavement, and the dying
bed of General Jackson, have formed the subject Of
many a sermon, in this city ard elsewhere, on the
last Sabbath. We have heard the able and eloquent
discourse of the Rev. Mr.. Sprole, of the Presbye-
rian church, also commended in the warmes strains.
1t has not fallen to our lot to hear Of any
other orators who may have addressed their congre
cations on this memorable occasion.

MONDAY, JUNE %, 1916.

The court, on being opened this morning, was
Immediately cleared, for the purpose of completing
the reading Of the testimony. At two o'clock the
court was again opened the reading of the testmo-
ny having been completed. Captain Voorhees, was
then sent for and, in his presence the judge advo-
cate presented and read paper in reply to the per-
sonal remarks contained in the defence by Mr..
Coke. The Judge advocate referred to the trial of
Captain Porter, in which Mr.. Coke was Judge adj
vocate, and had been severely censured by General
Walter Jones, counsel for Captain Porter, for do
ing his duty in that case; and he consoled himself
with the reflection that he had so good precedent
this to relieve him from the effects of the gentle
mans remarks-it being matter of course that,
when case was tried with becoming energy and
decision by judge advocate, he would always be
rebuked by the lawyer for the defence II was also
shown, from the record, that but fourteen obiec-
tons had been made by the Judge advocate
to questions of testimony-in ten Of which he
had been sustained by the court; and that no
testimony he had offered had been rejected by
the court as nadmissibe, except the official report
of Captain Voorhees,, which he had offered at the
request of Captain v. The tenor of the reply was
kind and conciliatory to the accused. At the sug-
gestion Of Commodore Stewart, the president of the
court this paper ordered to be appended to the
record, after the defence.
The court was then cleared for elaboration on
the finding and sentence, and continued with closed
doors till about four o'clock, when the court was
opened, and adjourned till ten o'clock, Tuesday
morning. The result cannot be known till it is APP
proved by the revising authority.

LONDON, June g. ls45.
The Hbernia is in since last Saturday night; and
the news is quite refreshing to English They
talk here about war, religious men do about the
devil America may eventually have all the claims,
provided she does not ask too much at once. There
is assuredy at this moment, no feeling for Ameri-
ca in England but just as little disposition to have
brush with us. England talks loud, because she
does not mean to act. She was naughty and inso.
lent when she was aggressive; she is now doomed
to be polite and generous. The slavery stipulation
with France exhibits such instance of British
generosity. "They have so few colonies, say the
English papers, speaking of the French people,
.s'lhat they cannot be supposed to carry on the
lslave trade; and there is therefore, no reason why
we should search their vesselsn What pity Eng
