EFFECT OF THs EMANCIPATION PsocLA.
MATIoN.-Ths following ia an extract from
letter received by Georgian, now q resident
Of Boston. from Z fellow Georgiou, q resident
Of New York. dated July 22d:
The exodus from the South, Won once pre-
dicted. has fairly sst In. Every day almost
come new face drops in. They generally
come from the upper part Of Georgia, aud
seem glad to get here. ! know Of six gsntle-
men who are from one place. One Of them
says the emancipation proclamation Of Lincoln
struck JEFF. Davis the hardest blow hs has
received. He says it has caused 4 large 70.
duction in the Southern army by dpssrtion.
moro 20 than the people Of the North have
any idea Of: He says the poor white psopls
are determined to fight for the negroes no
longer. They have no interest iu them, and
look upon the war a. ons brought on by dem.
agogues and slaveholders, to ride. over the
rights Of The poor white people. He says he
has heard repeatedly the soldiers cay openly
they would not any longef fight for tho dad
niggers and their masters. The upper paft
Of Georgia has but few slaves, anyhow, and I
suppose the people there think more Of their
own comfort. aud len Of the rights Of The
slave owners, than in tie lower country. I
was surprised, however. to hear from this old
resident. and one who il close observer q
events, that the proclamation tended TO divide
the people OF the South rather than unite
them. The effect, doubtless, wss different on
the seaboard. according to information from u
competent judges there. but Cherokee 0sor.
