GEORGIA.

The telegraphlc news OF to-day Is most
cheering to all Union men, but very dis
couraging to the prospects of the so-called
Democracy of the Pacific Coast. 1t is
damper upon their enthusiasm, and bellies
the assertions Of Robinson, Tilford, Brad
ford, and the lesser lights that preach
treason daily on our streets, and in the
copper bottomed club rooms; that the
South cannot be conquered by Northern
men. under the command of Grant. Sher-
man and Sheridan, guided BY the wisdom
of Lincoln. These pretended followers of
the noble Douglas, tel the people that
Lincoln has violated the Constitution by
atresting democrats, and suppressing
reasonable papers, edited by worshippers
of jeff and his treason, and consequently,
the South cannot be conquered until all
are killed and the country laid waste.
Every man of sense knows that these as
sertions are false as hell itself: for Geor-
sia, the keystone of the Arch that upheld
the Confederacy, has by the strong blows
dealt bv Sherman and his brave followers
upon the scions Of Southern chivalry,
been forced to cry for quarter, and ask
pardon of the powers that be for crimes
committed against the flag, the Consti-
tuition and the laws by its acts of treason.
And to carry out the intention, and will Of
the people of Georgia, Governor Brown
has sent an official order to Gen. Sherman
in which he says that Georgia is no longer
member of the Confederacy, that here
after its armies, ports, ships, and all It has,
belongs TO the Government of the United
States; and that the army Of Georgia is
now at the command and subject to the
orders of Sherman~ Thus crumbleS the
Confederacy. Its strongest prop has
fallen. The State that held its enemies at
bay. tina: held its ports open for blockade
runners, that furnished ammunition, arms,
clothing, etc, etc., in fact was the main
STAY of the rebellion, has, like the prodigal
son, returned TO the mansion of its father,
asking not to dictate terms Of compromise,
but asking only the right TO again be
called, and treated as citizens of the Union.
So fades the glory Of the Confederacy.
It's last hopes gone, its armies surrounded,
its capital besieged, its cause forsaken By
all except conscripts in the South and Nc
ClellaniteS in the North. Its days are
numbered. and its counterpart or CO.
workers in the North. with down cast
looks and sorrowful hearts, contemplate
the fate that awaits them and begin to
quake with fear at the certainty of peace,
and Union without slavery. The acts of
Gov. Brown has sealed the fate Of the
Confederacy. has taken the Democrats by
surprise. and filed them with sorrow and
dismay; for now their hopes Of success :
IN November are blasted. Mcclellan has
no chance of success. The war will soon
be over, the country be saved, the Cop !
perheads remembered only to be despised. !
Lincoln and Johnson will be elected, and !
future generations will yet rise up and
bless our noble leaders and counselors;
will revere the noble dead, scorn the
Northern traitors, and wonder that in an
age like this men could be so vile as to be
traitors to their Government, or vote for
nominees of Convention like that held
in Chicago, where Vallandigham, the Ben
edict Arnold Of the nineteenth century,
was the leading mind. Georgia-rich in
mineral and agricultural wealth-has re-
turned to her allegiance, and others will
soon follow in her train. and JEFF. Davis !
and Mcclellan will be left without follow
ers or admirers.
