DELxeArKs TO THE GEORGIA CoSvKSTIoS.-We
Zee IL stated that the Hon. Mcssrs. George w.
Crawford, Chas. J. jenkins, John p. King, and
Andrew J. Miller, will probably be the candidates
of the Union men Of Richmond county, for dele
gates to the convention and that the Hon. Robt
roombs, the Hon. Garnett Andrews, Col. l.. NJ.
Hill, and j. t. Irwin, jr, esq, are spoken OF as the
candidates in Wilkes county.
The convention promises TO be composed OF the
very frs, men in the State, and will probably con-
tain more talent than any body Of men which has
ever convened within its limits. IL may be well,
after all, that IL has been called, as u will enable
the true men Of Georgia TO relieve her from the
ridiculous position in which the last Legislature
placed her. II such shall happily be the result Of
It's deliberations, will hail its action with
greater 10Y than ourselves. All admit that Calior
mia came into the Union in opposition 10 the wishes
Of the southern people generally but the question
arises, docs her admission present justifable pre-
tert for di solving The Union We think not and
the day viii come when men, and southern men
too, will be surprised that such thing ever
contemplated. Even at this time, such a thing as
a convention would never have been thought OF, II
the Legislature, with the view 10 intmidate Con
eress. bad not provided for its assembling. The
people OF Georgia would have acquiesced with great
readiness, ss doubt not they will yet do, in the
action Of Congress but for that miserable bundcr.

This is the season for fires. Stoves and fire.

Great care should be taken.
AS for the fire companies, they appear to have
waited in vain for the action of city, necessary
to their safety and protection. They will have to
go on as of old, we suppose and the old scenes
of violence and murder REL enacted.
