the hopes Of the secessionists must be ex-
tremely feeble.
Georgia is their main hope. The peo-
pie OF Georgia have been warmly excited.
Her Legislature took emphatic grounds
on Southern questions, and by a solemn
Legislative act directed the calling Of
State Convention in the event of the adop-
tion of certain enumerated measures by
Congress. The acts which Georgia emu
merated as among the grounds of an Inn
mediate recurrence to State sovereignty to
discuss the means of redress-are said by
the secessiofists to be distinctly included
among those which Congress has now en-
acted; and the demand is made of the
Governor to execute the law and call the
0unVeItiuH, ur W1IfUh Ine purpose OF It's
supporters is avowed to be to organize dis
union by leading off in secession!
Upon the action of Georgia therefore,
much depends. Towards her all eyes
will be directed with intense anxitv, and
yet with the hope that she may as ef-
fectually stop, the movement for disunion
there as Texas will do on the Western
frontier. The sentiment of that State is
to be tested by popular election. If
Gov. Towns summons the convention, the
choice of delegates must be made bV the
people, and it will be no speculative dues-
ton Submitted to them, like that Of the
Nashville Convention, on which nine
tenths of the people of the State refused to
vote; but direct issue whether they will
remain in the Union peacefully or 90 out
of it by force if need be. That question
will not 60 by default, and whenever it is
put to the people of Georgia we doubt not
that a great Union party will rise up, strong
enough to control the convention, or at
least to prevent the success of any violent
measures against a powerful and united
party of peace and union. In that contest
the omens are already encouraging that
mighty influence Of reasoning and patriot
ic men, possessing large share of public
confidence, will be found on the side Of
concilliation and union.
Some of the very measures in Congress
which are the ostensibfe grounds for dis
union received the vote of three of the
Georgia members of Congress-nearly all,
in addition, were vigorously sustained by
Speaker Cobb. OF the absentees; one,
Mr.. Hackett, is considered emphaticallya
Unionist, and another Mr.. Stevens, in
late speech has brought down the censures
of the secessionists, by declaring that,
however opposed to these measures, he
should yield Submission to them as laws
Of his country.
There are strong hopes, therefore, that
Georgia; which is reckoned upon as leader
in this disunion movement, will be able
efectually TO check it within her own
borders, and thus merit immortal honor
and gratitude.

From the Washington Repubhc.

We copy from the Savannah Georgia.,
another of series of articles in that pa
per urging upon the South the policy Of
encouraging the growth of manufactures
and the mechanic arts in its midst, as the
most efectual security for real indepen-
dence. We are glad to see evidence in
other quarters that this idea is Spreading.
If the present irritations shall as seems
likely to be the case, procure greater at
-tention to suggestions of this character
than heretofore, great good viii come
out of evil. We shall have pleasure in
laying before our readers, from tine tc
time, articles advocating the diversi6cation
of industry, as well at the South as else.

it is put by loaded, perhaps for weeks, the
powder fretting against the damp and dir
ty sides--foul when it was charged-put
in damp room till it is completely rusted
within and without, and in that state dis
charged, is it any wonder that the gun
should burst? 1t would be wonderful if il
did not. Never, in any case, put gun
by charged. Always draw the charge, and
rub the barrel, lock and pan perfectly dry,
cork the muzzle, and stop the touch hole,
to keep. out dust and damp. No gun
should be fired more than twenty times
without cleaning. In the field, after fire.
quent firing, wipe the barrel and pan out
with piece of cloth, (not tow,) while the
barrel is warm from the last discharge,
and before the vapor condenses.
Always clean your gun yourself, and
trust not to servants. In cleaning, first
wash it with cold water, next with hot
water, or soap suds. Rubit well with a
wire brush, to get off any lead that may ad-
here toit--or put fine sand and bits Of soap in
it, and rub itup and down, the touch hole
towards the light; and if perfectly clean,
well dry it inside and out. Rub the out
side with little neatsfool oil, which must
be rubbed off in twelve hours. Attendto
the lock in the usual way, Put it in a
leather case, which is better than woolen
one, and be careful to keep it from damp
By attending to these rules, you have
nothing to fear from the gun,. only from
yourself.

From the N. o. Picayune
The SeceSsiOnists.

The storm which has so long and so
fearfully conyulsed the country has spent
its fury at last. The reign of reason and
moderation has succeeded to the strife Of
wild passions and fierce contentious, which
for ten long months made the halls of Con-
gress the theatre Of desperate struggle,
wherein all the regular functions of gov
ernment were obstructed, the most frantic
excesses were threatened, and the hearts
of the whole people. were filled with a.
larms for the disruption of the Union, and
all the frightful consequences ofthat dread
full issue. We rejoice the more at the
escape from these pefils and distractions,
because the peace whichit brings is peace,
as we conscientiously believe, on honora-
bic terms. We can agree that in some Of
their parts, or in some of their consequent
ces, there may be reasonable grounds Of
repugnance to these terms, but in their
scope, their aims and their results they
compromise no permanent interest, offend
no just pride, and violate no constitution
al opinion of any part of the country.
While they foil the aim of those who
have looked to civil discord as an element
| for the furtherance of guilty ambition in
the formation of new Governments to be
| framed out of portions of the broken Un.
| ion, and confound the schemiugs of thai
meaner class Of huckstering politicians
who use the greatest public questions fol
mere purposes of personal electioneering
l-mousers. who would nibbIe away. the
foundations Of the nobIest and loftiest hu.
man structures to get at the granary. in
| the ceflar--they satisfy the conscience
and the heart of the great majority of the
masses, whodisinterestedly love their coun.
try, her true honor and permanent pros,
perity. And among those who resisted
this settlement to the last, there are doubt
less, thousands and tens Of thousands who
having exhausted all forms of legal oppo.
sition TO laws in which they could not con,
cur, viii yield an unreseryed acquiescence
| in the law of the land as enacted; nay
viii join heartily in the vigorous support
| if need be, of the same laws, as the frs
duty of goood citizen.
It is plain, too, that they may be called
upon to manifest this determination, in ar
emphatic manner. All the elements o
discord have not by any means subsided
Agitation is unquestionably determined
upon by a numerous portion of the South
ern opponents of the adjustment, and ii j.

FORGIVE AND FORGET.
BY TUPPER.

! BY TUPPER.
| When streams Of unkindness, as bitter as gall
Bubble up from the heart to the tongue,
| And Meekness is wreathing in torment and
thrall,
BY the hands of Ingratitude wfung,--
In the heat of Injustice, unwept and unfair;
While the anguish is fostering yet,
None, none but an angel of God can declare,
q now nforgive and forget"
But, if the bad spirit is chased from the heart,
And the lips are in penitence stepped,
With the wrong so repented the wrath will
depart,
Though scorn or injustice were heaped;
For the best compensation is paid for an i'll,
s. When the cheek with contrition is wet,
And every one feels it is possible, still,
AT once to forgive and forget.
20 forget! Ills hard for man with a mind,
However his heart may forgive,
Toblot out all perils and danger behind,
And but fort the future 10 live;
Then how shall it be? for at every turn
Recollection the spirit will fret,
And the ashes of injury shoulder and burn,
Though we strive to forgive and forget.
o, hearken! my tongue shall the riddle unseaI
And mind shall be partner with heart,
While thee, to thyself bid conscience reveal
And show thee how evil thou art;
Remember thy follies, thy sins, and-thy crimes
How vast is that infinite debit
Yet Mercy hath seven by seventy times
Been swift to forgive and forget
Brood not on insults or injuries DID,
For thou art injurious too:
Count not their sum till the total is told,
For thou art unkind and untrue,
And,f all thy harms are forgotten forgiven.
F Now Mercy with Justice is met,
o, who would Eot gladly take lessons Of
Heaven,
/ Nor learn to forgive and forget.
Yes, yes; let man when his enemy weeps,
Be quick to receive him friendl
For thus on his head in kindness he heaps
Hot Goals, TO refine and amend;
And hearts that are Christian more eagerly yearr
As a nurse on her innocent pet,
Our lips that, once bitter, to penitence turn,
And whisper, "Forgive and forget"
