The DARKEST Hour is JUST BEFORE DAY
LlGHT.--'The State ofGeorgia stands in an at.
titude of fearful peril, from which nothing can
rescue her but the virtue and valor of her sons
Pushed to the wall, bearded and defied by ag-
gressivc legislation to which she has virtually
and solcmnly sworn she will not submit, be-
trayed and deserted by majority, it not by
every one Of her representatives in Congress,
she stands with the Scylla Of dishonor and sub
mission OH the one hand, and the Charybdis of
violated rights and swift-coming ruin on the
other. She has to choose between the two, and
the choice is to he made in a few weeks Sub
mission and disgrace to be followed by fresh
abolition assaults as the penalty other imbecility
and cowardice or brave and manly strike fol
her honor, her rights and her independence.
Such is the alternative now-a bright or
gloomy one, as the people may prove worthy OF
the rich boon of liberty, or too base and degen-
crate to dare aught to attain it. II is the hour
before day-the dark hour. Shall it be sue
ceeded by glorious morning, or shall clouds
and darkness lower like a polar night over all
the future of the South ? Georgians Your pre-

Abolition North will follow you TO your doom

The Pacific Courier says:
On Tuesday evening Aug. 1877 it was under
stood that an attempt would be made 10 release
the prisoners. The Mayor, Woodland, and others
early yesterday morning repaired To the brig, IN
order to resist any such attempt The squatters
made their appearance, were driven IN, and then
retreated up street, the crowd increasing, and the
mayor and the citizens on the pursuit. The squat
tiers proceeded far the corner or Attn and
street, when they made stand, and the battle
commenced with firearms on both sides.
AT the time of our informant s leaving the place.
at three clock, p NJ :. the squatters had gathered
at the corner of and 9th streets, some nine hun
dred strong, with arms, and were determined upon
resistance to the death.
Lieut.. Governor McDougal had declared mar
taI law, and ordered cannon TO be placed at the
foot of j street, to sweep II with grape shot
THAT all nome ombatants should not appear IN
the street, and that all citizens should Immediately
repair to the City Hotel, and register their names
for immediate duty.
The Lieut. Governor came down in the steamer
to Benicia for the purpose OF procuring arms and
| soldiers to quell the mob. The Gold Hunter was
hailed on her passage up, IN Suisoon bays ana
came back to Benicia, for the purpose of convey
ing soldiers and aaonitioas Of war to Sacramento.
The most ofthe soldiers are at Nappa Valley and
could not be ready for starting this morning. A
letter was received here, which we have seen, re-
questng Mr.. Howard Of the Guards, to send up
fire arms by the return boat, and at oclock this
morning, Messrs. Elleard and Beers started on an
express to the Governor at San Jose.

San Francisco papers. In supplemental the

! This information was derived from Mr.. Nor
cross, one Of the editors Of the Pacific News, who
was passenger by the Carolina. We are OF
course unable to say what reliance is to be placed
upon the correctness Of this intelligence, but Mr..
Norcross doubtless had confidence in its accuracy,

extract from the AIta-California given above, il

OF Rights under our constitutional bond of union,
and determined resistance to all who oppose them"
II Is high time that the people of Georgia aud
OF The South were acting in this spirit of union
among themselves for their own protection.
lie TINE FOR TANNING SIDES HAS FULLY COME.
Who rallies undert the banner ofthe GREAT South
ERN REPUBLICAN PARTYw This is no time to
hesitate or falter. He, who is not with the
South at this crisis, is against her. "A ruthless
majority has long been infringing upon our
rights aud denying justice to our section. The
decree that slavery shall be no farther extended
has gone forth--never, in our opinion, will ano-
ther slave State be admitted into the Union.
This issue must be met, and to be successfully
met, the South must be unit-a unit IN spirit
and cadeavor We ask then, who will fail to
rally, at the call of duty, to the banner OF the
great Southern Republican party, who will hes
late one moment to join party OF the South,
devoted to the South and laboring heart and
hand for the South! Who will not lock with
heart-swelling pride upon banner unfurled
and given to the breeze, bearing no motto but
Justice to the South, and equal rights in the
Union! Who among us will not lay his hand
upon the Southern altar and swear eternal al
legience to her cause! What son Of Georgia will
betray his State? What daughter will prove false
to the domestic hearth.
we Tear not the hna result. The South can
never submit to gross injustice. Her people
placing themselves upon the broad platform OF
the Constitution--the bond of just Union
will protect their rights and sustain their honor
by sail the means which the God of nature has
placed in their hands" Let union prevail among
them and all will be well--the NORTH will fall
back before an indignant and united South, as
the awless mob recoil from the stern tread and
! firm columns of soldiery Those who think that
the question is settled, even if the South submits
to any former indignties, are altogether mista-
ken. This is one of the questions which vii
never be settled Fanaticsm will never cease
its bitter attacks upon us--the evil will grow
| its open object is THE ENTIRE EXTINCTION OF
SLAVERY This is to be brought about first by
not permitting it to enter any more the common
territory. Do not people Oft the South see this
1t cannot enter the territory of New Mexico-i1
cannot enter Utah--it cannot enter the rich and
fertile territory of California. From all this
territory tie South is excluded-and yet she
helped to secure it--yea, she spilled her best
blood to obtain it! The next step will be to
forbid the slave trade between the Southern
States No outlet can then be obtained and the
institution is doomed
