1t is asserted that Georgia has seceeded
from the Southern Confederacy. 1t
would not be at all surprising to know
of such an occurrence. yet we presume
such is not the fact as yet. Gov. Brown
has undoubtedly got his back-up at jeff
Davis for infringing upon his royal pre-
rogative to appoint the field officers Of his
own State, and has called home the Geor-
gia teOOps from Virginia. He has also
disbanded a Brigade of Georgia soldiers
becaute the commission of its General,
Philip, was dated at Richmond instead of
Atlanta. According to the principles
established, Georgia has a perfect right
to go out whenever she sees fit, and she
must not be coeTced.

he mean 10 carry out compromise, and by
his acts drivs patriots from him and his
political associates, and then censure be-

other. If your natural tendencies are to

Plain Speaking.


This is the day Of plain speech. Let
US be thankful that the people will tole-
rate it. For that reason we like the fol-
lowing, which we clip from a letter Of 'Oc-
casional,' in the Philadelphia Press:
81 have just been looking over names
of the officers who are to command the
fifteen reserve regiments of Pennsylva-
MIA. Some will do honor to the service,
but there are others that / am ashamed
to see coming from my native State
Perhaps / am doing injustice to those
gentlemen, and if so, you shall have my
apology. But, I must say, judging from
what ] know of their ~antecedents, that
they are no more capable Of leading a
regiment, or even a company, into the
field, than / am Of t%ranslaling ~Shakspear
into the Sanscrit. These men may be
great in their way, but their way IS not
that of a soldier. They may be great
politicians, and giants in a Ward Con-
vention, or precinct election. They may
understand the whole System of political
engineering, and teach you how to ex-
tract the largest number of votes from a
given number Of voters, bat they are not
the men to be ensrusted with the lives Of
our volunteers and the honor of our flag.
| am glad to know that an army commits
sion has been appointed, to examine into
the military qualities Of these and other
gentlemen, ambitious Of military distinc-
ton, and that the Investigations of that
commission will be made. and adopted by

Verdict OfTIme UDOn TRAITORS.

Nobly as the great body of the people
of all parties have rallied to the support
Of the Government in its time of trial, it
is known to every one that there are
hundreds and thousands of men, distrib-
uted all over the North, whose sympa-
thies are warmly with the traitors now in
arms against it, and who would take up
arms for the rebels if their courage was
equal to their will. These men chuckle
at eveoy reverse to our arms, and are
undoubtedly in correspondence with the
rebels, giving them such aid and comfort
as circumstances will admit. They lose
no opportunity to embarrass those who
are struggling TO preserve the Union,
and labor earnestly, though insidiously to
destroy the public confidence in their in
tegrity. But there is a day of retribu-
ton coming for all these traitors.
Though summary punishment may not
be meeted out to them at once, the ven
geanCe of the people will sooner or later
overtake them. Arnold escaped the
gibbes, but a more dreadful penalty than
death awaited him. The scorn and ha
tired not only of his own countrymen, bat
of the whole civilized world, rests upon
his memory, and his name has become in
famous. All in whose veins ran a drop
of his blood shared the odium of his
Such will be the fate of the men
at the North whose hearts are known to
be IN the rebel cause. They will be des-
pissed when living, if they meet with no
more summary punishment, and when
dead their memories viii be e~xecrated.
Let these ingrates and traitors take war

some biographical information concerning

father of Beauregard was a Mexican
bandit, balled BoregaIlio, who acquired
great wealth by his de~predations In the
mountains of Sierra Madre. At his
death, the gang broke up, and his son,
Boregallio, jr., emigratod to New Or

fortunate enough to marry a lady Of
high parentage, and at once gained great
influence among the foreign poPulationof
Louisiana. As with his property, so
with his offspring; the first child name
was Taunton, the second Beauregard. and
