The Campaign in Georgia.

Does any one suppose the Ccnfeder.
acy can exist without Georgia? 1t is
impossible. Georgia is the largest,
richest and best State remaining 10
the rebels and in Georgia are tho
main depots of materials and resour-
ces. The advance of the army from
Chattanooga then, is as important an
that of the Army Of the Potomac. It
is precisel v similar movement to
that on Vicksburg. Notwithstanding
all the talk about Joe johnson, he has
been hauked and driven back by gen.
eralsbip. 1t was impossible to hold
Dalton when we were moving in be-
hind Resaca. Thus the most defcnsi.
bic mountain ridges in the world have
been taken from the enemy by superb
or skill and firnness. From the time
Rosecrans commenced his march from
Murlreesboro to the capture of Resaca,
the rebels have been completely out
witted and outgeneraled. The gaps of
the Cumberland were taken from them
by Rosecrans. aud he took Chattanoo-
ga by outtlanking. Then came the
descent of Colonel Stanley's (of tho
18th Ohio) night boats, by which
Lookout Valley was taken then
Hooker's "battls above the clouds /"
on Lookout Mountain /; then the storm
of Mission Ridge now the fanking
of Buzzard's Roost Ia right name for
the rebels the fanking of Resaca,
till johnson finds himself by some
mysterious process moved sixty miles
to the rear. But johnson, like Lee.
will fight if hs gets a chance. He
will probably fight at Etowah river /;
he may fight again. and then, If he
goes into Atlanta. comes the siege of
that last resting-place Of all the scoun-
drels who have followed the retreatiug
army of Bragg.
Here the reader will probably call
up ono of those historical retribntions
by which Providence seems to Justify
the ways Of God to man. More than
thirty years ago the Cherokee nation
dwelt on their mountain ridges and
rivers. They were a peaceful, COM
paratively happy people. having their
home on the Chicamauga, the Etowah
and the Coosa. The Georgians, who
have no idea of public justice, wanted

existing state of things, we are hor
rorstricken and amazed, at what we
see to be the most certain issue OF
events Who can for a moment give
it credence !? That the negro element
in our social compact will absorb en-
tirely if not wholly the Anglo-Saxon
element on the western hemisphere
That such will prove the issue in
course Of time is a truth which cannot
be resisted and If we look impartial
ly and enquiringly into the array of
truths which are to give birth to such
issues we shall prospectively witness
its. demonstration. Two abstract
truths tell the whole talo.
First, it is q known and conceded
fact the world over, that the physical
power Of endurance of the black race
is beyond that. of the whites !; and sec
ond, that their propagation is much
more rapid than the whites. This be-
ing the case it is easy to see that, it is
only q question of time, and not of fact,
that is to be consulted in view Of the Ger.
tainty Of the philosophical fact pre-
missed above. In the history Of the
progress Of the two races it has al
ways proved that the black race has
outrun, and, where there has been
sufficiently protracted period, has
quite absorbed the white. Such was
the case in Egypt at very early date.
And such are the demonstrations in
the career Of the two races in our
Southern countries where equal facili.
ties have ben afforded. -....-.
1t is clear case that, If there are
4 ,000, 900 Of blacks within the bounds
of the slave holding territory, and
100000 whites, and, if the black
element is confined there for any con.
siderable period, the latter will pre-
dominate and ultimately entirely alb
sorb and extinguish oil national traits
of the former. And then in distant
future ages should not extensive wars
Of extirmination prevail against the
black race their borders will enlarge
until the whole southern portion Of
the Western hemisphere will be peo-
pied with their pos sterity.
Are any startled at this? Let it be
understood that these arc only the de-
ductions or the certain events of the
philosophy of fate. They are the GER
tainties arising out of a series of ne
cessities. We may think and feel as
we please--onr posterty in the far
distant future of coming ages willtre-
alize the full demonstration Of these
views.
How exceeding shallow were the
speculations of the slavery ,propagand-
lists touching this question in the
days of their prosperity. They were
wholly void of moral principle or they
never took one thought for the future.
And now the present generation has
to grappel with the giant evil. God
help Us through. aE ..# .

MistslIanp.
A Practical Religion.

We want religion that goes into
the family and keeps the husband
from being spiteful when the dinner
is late keeps the wife from being
fretful when the husband tracks the
newly washed floor with bis muddy
boots, aud makes the husband mind
ful Of the scraper and the door-mat
amuses the children as well as in-
structs them wins as we'll as gov
erus them projects the honeymoon
into the harvest moon, and makes tho
happy hours like the Eastern fg tree,
bearing in its bosom at onco tho
beauty of the tender blossom and the
glory Of the ripened fruit. We want
a religion that bears not only on the
sinfulness Of sin, but on the rascality
of lying and stealing religion that
banishes all small measures from the
counters, small baskets from the stalls,
pebbles from the cotton bags. clay
from paper, sand from sugar, chickory
from coffee, beet root from vinegar,
alumni from bread, lard from butter,
strychninc from wine, and water from
mlik-canS. 70
The religion that is to advance tho
world will not put all the big straw
berries and peaches at the top, and
all the bad ones at the bottom. 1t
will not offer more baskets of foreign
wines than the vineyards ever pro-
duced bottles.
The religion that is to sanctify the
world and pays its debts. 1t does
not consider forty cents returned for
ono hundred given, is according to
gospel. though it is according to law.
1t looks on a man who has failed i'm
trade, and who continues to live in
luxury, as thief. 1t looks on a man
who promises TO pay fifty dollars on
demand, with interest, and who neg
lects to pay it on demand, with or
without interest, as liar.

The Brave at Home.
By Z. n. RRAp.

The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain dissembles
The while beneath her drooping lash
One starry tear drop hangs and trembles
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart shall shed drop as dear
Z I As ever dewed the field Of glory. -.
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And gravely speaks the cheering word.
What though her heart be rent asunder--
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of war around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood no e'er
Was poured upon the field Of battle ~
The mother who conceals her grief,
When TO her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes few brave words and brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedoms field of honor.

Communications.
Correspondence of the Charles City Intelligencer.
From the 9th Iowa Infantry.

.- yIcKsBuRG, May 25, 1864.
FRIEND HnpRErH My last letter
was written from Gran-de- Core, and
it is probably necessary to apologize
for seeming neglect to write After
we had fallen back upon Alexandria,
the rebels planted batteries along the
river below Alexandria and prevented
communication. You will therefore
blame the rebs and not me for not
hearing from me again at an earlier
date. 4.''~,-s "-.4' ~
Alexandria was evacuated on the
18th inst, but like many Southern
towns left by our troops, we can say
to Alexandria-Peace to its ashes. The
rebel army harassed our retreat as
much as possible. We finally reached
Simmsport on the Atchafalaya river
on the l7th inst, and on the 18th the
enemy, thinking their force sufficient
to whip ours. opened upon our lines
with shot and shell. The battle was
conducted, on our side, by Gen. Now
er, and resulted in completely routing
the enemy and driving them back four
miles. The particulars you have pro-
baby received. Our regiment lost
three killed and fifteen wounded.
Capt. Slocum had joined his Company
the day previous, and in this battle
was struck by piece Of shell on the
right leg. His wound was not serious
aud he is doing well. On his return,
the Captain was cordially welcomed
by the whole regiment, and especially
by Company G.. We hope he will
soon be able to resume command. He
is worthy officer, and we regard
him as true compatriot. Good for
tune attended the ranks of Company
G--no one was injured. <
On the goth, the troops marched to
the landing on the Mississippi river,
and on the 22d we embarked on trans.
ports for Vicksburg .n. w..
We moved quietly up the river the
weather pleasant, and the rebels quiet
On the 2sd our boat stopped opposite
Rodney and we buried the body of
John Mitchell Of Company G, from
Floyd. He died April 22d, of bloody
flux.
We arrived at vicksburg on the
23d, at midnight, and now remain
here awaiting orders. 1t is reported
that this detachment will be sent to
reinforce Gen. Steele at Little Rock !;
but this is only rumor. ga.li es9..J.
Gen. A. j. Smith is with US, and the
troops will continue in good spirits so
long as we have . trnsty leader. 1t
was remarkable to witness the differ
ence of feeling manifested towards
Generals Banks and Smith during the
retreat. When Gen.. Smith would
pass the 18th and 10th Corps the air
would resonnd with shouts of Hurrah
for Smith 1" When Gen. Banks rode
through the lines, the 18th and 10Th
would remain silent. while some rude
boys Of the 10th would remark
/" Have you got any moro paper COL
lars ?n syai# fats#s st 81 lfaaa s@4ts
You have probably heard the story
Of the paper collars. 1t was reported
that, ON the 9Th of April. when Banks
was SO badly repulsed, there .wss in
the train captured by the enemy six
mule load of paper collars. 'sE al
Gen. Candy having now assumed
command Of this department, il is to
be hoped that ere long he will be able
to bring order out of the present mas.
Of confusion. Yours truly,
GEORGE.
