Gen. HIRAM WALBRIDaE, Of New York,
concludes an address to the War Democracy
as follows:
If, then, there be those hitherto Of us who
propose henceforth to act with the party
which encouraged the rebellion at the outset
by resolves and assurances Of sympathy
which exultingly predicted that it never
would nor could be subdued-which opposed
and denounced every vigorous measure Of re.
sistance to the programme Of disunion, but
condemned with especial vehemence and
unanimity that most necessary and effective
Proclamation Of Freedom to those held In
slavery by rebels---I wish to be understood hs
not Of their faith.
On the contrary, I recognize in the Union
party, with which we have gone through this
memorable contest, the true, essential de-
mocracy, faithful at all times to the Repub.
lie, faithful now to her defenders, and es.
pecially to those who have Valiantly passed
through the Red Sea Of battle to the Prom.
ised Land of liberty. These are the nations
loyal children. The perfection and perpot.
uation Of their freedom is the nations So
cred, imperative duty. The party now seek.
ing to cover with the mantle of Democracy
tho rottenness of the last Chicago platform
repudiates the obligation and denies the duty.
l stand with those who desire and demand
a reconstruction which shall endure forever,
because based on. universal and absolute
Justice; who do not regret but rejoice that
the reproach of human bondage is forever
removed from this broad land, and that to
Congress has been specifically confded the
duty Of guarding and maintaining the per-
sonal liberty Of every denizen Of these United
States. In the faith that this high trust
will be nobly fulfilled, and with firm re-.
solve that to this end no effort on my part
shall be wanting, remain, &c.

CorToN.-The cotton business continues
very active at all the shipping ports, as it
will undoubtedly until the old crop is ex-
hausted. 1t is probable that when the trade
restrictions were removed there was not
more--rather, indeed, lesS-than 800, OOO
bales on hand within what had been the
rebel lines. This must soon be exhausted,
and as the crop of the present year must
necessarily be wholly inadequate to the de-
mand, we look for cotton famine-and a
great advance in prices-by April or May
next. At New York the receipts thus far in
the current week have averaged 4, 529 bales
a day, making ll9, O46 bales since October l,
against exports of 50, 954 bales in the same
time leaving an estimated stock on hand,
and on ship-board not cleared, Of 1876, 900
bales.
Thus far in the current Cotton year. be-
ginning with September l, the receipts at all
the shipping ports reach 800, 900 bales, lin.
cludipg 23O, 900 bales at New York; against
exports of l37, 900 bales, including l2s, 900 to
Great Britain, 1000 bales to France, and
2, 900 bales to other foreign ports. The esti
mated stock on hand and on shipboard not
cleared, at the shipping ports, at latest da tet
was 1886, 900 bales.

The market is less active, and extreme

Of an active demand. Stocks are insignif'

Superior styles are neglected. Broad

broken up the assortments. Black and white

southern,.- reaehsr. and thelr Lesson

Southern Teachers and their Lessons,
A late number Of the Columbus Enquirer,
iureference 10 the action Of the county con,
vention, says the Georgia Convention will
yield nothing to radicalism Of the stiH re
serusd rights of tho state or the people,. Il
was quite unnecessary for it to define what il
meant by "still reserved rights" We al
know it is the right of secession. 1t meani
that surrender was not abandonment, only
postponement. The jackson MiSsiSappian
means the same thing when it says:
"DessrtcrS ostd detamers Of tie confederate
cause may read their doom in tho elevation Of
Gen. Humphreys. True, the war was fail
ure, but it was a gallant and glorious strug-
gle for all that was dear to the South, and
the men who Struggled longest and 6rapest
for tie independence Of their country ioiii
erer Be cherished as tie idols Of a gralej~l
people," "
''Deserters and defamers Of the confederate
cause" refers to Southern mon who were loyal
throughout - President JOHNSON, Admiral
FARRAaUT, General THOMAS, and the rest.
And thus it proceeds to glOrify HUMPHREYS:
while politicians were contriving plans
for the elevation Of another, the people turned
their attention to the secluded but gallant
old brigadier. He modestly assured then
that he was not eligible to the office, ant
| avoided the acceptance of the gubernatOriG
honor proposed but his name once on tn,
breeze, the shout for Humphreys echoed from
every hamlet in the State, and every mothe
and every mothers son who had ever seen o.
heard battle in the cause Of the South pusheC
on the column to the polls. So quiet and ye
so powerful manifestation of popular Sentt
D9e'st has seldom occurred In political life.
And the New Orleans True Delta, determ
ined to DO not one whit behind, in view o.
the action of the people of Mississippi, sug
gests as follows:
We respectfully suggest that the above
recites an example worthy of imitation il
Louisiana, 1t points moral and adorns 4
fact 1t is, besides, Gerry cyeditaJls to tn,
rioters Of Mississippi 1t proves they ar,
not ungrateful for services rendered. ThS
+ politicians tried to make them ingrates
but they refused. They took to their heart
Of hearts the man who, above all others, wa,
, dearest to them"
And then it ventures a prediction, which
q is quite likely to prove true:
1--WE have agallant bGttie-Scarred old her,
In this State, who had been announced as
c candidate for Governor, but the politicians
don't like him, and are contriving plans 70

A took their co-workers in Mississippi. Th

PROVISIONAL GOVERNOR JOHN
SONS MESSAGE AND PREsI-
DENT JOHNsON'S DISPATCH.

The full text of the message of the Proyis.
ional Governor Of Georgia, JAMES JOHNSON.
has been published, and in its material points
its language is in consonance with the views
of the President. Governor JOHNSON declares
that the people of the State have no legal or
moral obligation to pay the debt created dur
ing the war, and says that ito call n refusal
on the part Of the State to pay these extinct
demands reputation is but peryersion Of
the use Of language" ~ 20.
He calls upon the Convention to ordain
solemnly and deliberately that no LegiSlR-
ture, now or hereafter shall, directly or indi-
rectly, in whole or in part, assume to pay in
any manner these demands.
He also declares that in her return to rec
onciliation, allegiance to the Government re.
quires Of Georgia "that the act of secession
be cancelled, and all other acts done and per.
formed in aid of the rebellion be declared
void and of no effect" ...
1t is to be presumed that the convention
will ignore the rebel debt. They will Ger.
tainly do SO, If they have any regard for the
President, whose despatch on that subjecl
forwarded to Governor JOHNSON the 26th
ult. appears in another column. That dis
patch is most emphatic, and We know thai
President JoHSsoE is thoroughly determines
in this matter. .......... .......,.r
He sincerely desires the restoration Of tn
South, but he cannot for moment listen t
propositions that the right. of seees
sion and consequent liability of the people @
revolted State to pay debts contracted 70
powder and ball to batter down the Govurn
ment. Our readers will perceive from tn
dispatch referred to that the President take
high and patriotic ground upon this Subjec
that he is decided and in earnest,
He expresses confidence in the people {
the South, but evidently puts no trust
their political leaders, and it is to save tn
people from the ruin that their politician
would bring upon them that he appeals I
them to place themselves on such n footir
that they will be received back into Ii
Union by Congress. ; @... ..
