: TIE INFAMOUS SEyENrEES.--We had
hoped that Georgia would be spared the
shame and disgrace which Q few of her
sons, in hes own seaport, have cast upon
her fame. From the track of Sherman's
desolating march through her borders
from the houseless women and chill
whom he has scattered from his path, no
craven note is hea-d-no wall for re.un-
ion with the hated foe. Beref5 of proper
ty, home, even of shelter, these people are
still true to the cause. Their love is even
enhanced by the injuries they have suf
fered, and they look forward, hopefully,
for the coming of the time (Which God
speed! when righteous retribution shall
oYertake the despoilor. Butin Savannah,
city where intelligence, refinement and
wealth have been dispensed with boun-
tiful hand, where the first note-of indepen
.dence was sounded in the State, where
the chosen emblem of our nationality has
been increasingly displayed to the gaze Of
its citizens for four glorious years Of na.
tional life-in this city a few men land
we thank God they are SO few) have bow
ed down and worshipped the Goldon Calf.
Encouraged BY the reward, but not warn
ed by the fate OF their base examplar,
they have sold their brthright.for alncss
of poltage. They have given another IL
lustration of the painful but historic truth
that, in all ages Of the. world there are
found men whose souls can be accurately
estimated in dollars and cents, end who
are ready to sacrifice liberty, honor, eve.
rythiog that manhood holds sacred, they
be but permitted to pursue q peaceful!
! path to unmolestetl and degraded opu
lence.
/ Wetrust that GowDrown will take
an early opportunity to spit upon .,theil
base recommendation and to,show then
and the world that Georgia takes no coun
sci of her dishonored and rccreant sons

SAssArRAs.-An exchange paper is un.
der the impression that in the colonial
times sassafras svas al article of COM
laerce. This is true; it was so largely ex-
ported to England that it was becoming
4 rival to tea, and by the influence ofthe
East India Company an act was passed
putting a stop to the trade. The blooms,
or tender buds were gathered and dried
for expectation, and these are said to
make better beverage then the bark.

Since the fall of Fort Fisher there
seems to be lull in the war clement and
quiet rcisns along the lines. The fierce
part of the coinbxt is-yet to come. Elated
with their success thus far, the Yankees
will soon, doubtless, put to'th another
effort to beat back our troops. With the
reinforcements continually arriving, aud
the position our lines have assumed, we
trust his next effort will be. a futile one

patriotic Sentiments.

JULIAN HARTRIDaE, member OF
Congress from Georgia, in letter to mis-
constituents, speaks, manly sentiments IN
the annexed extracts:
Independence is as dear and desilable
now as it was when you first entered upon
this struggle; aye, far dearer; because OF
this contest has developed all the fiendish
passions, and brought to light the foul
purposes of the people with whom you
are at war, and has proved the wisdom OF
your action in severing your connection,
with them. They offer you no terms ex-
cept,unconditional submission or extermi-
nation. They openly avow their purpose
to enalci pate. your slaves, and brihg You
under constitution changed to suit their
own views. There isno hope for you in
submission or compromise. You cannot
resume YOUR position in the Union, upon;
tho same footing you formerly occupied;
A powerful and fanaticsl majority will
control the affairs of the nation to your
dearadationsand ruin. Nopaper guaran.
tiesSor constitutional clauses can protect
You. Whst position would your repre-.
sentatives occupy in the Federal Con-
eressq No men of honor or self respect
would expose themselves to the Insults
and contnmely that would be heansdupon
them. Picture to yourselves the recep-
ton they would meet with from sneer-
ing aad exulting majority, looking with
contempt upon the representatives of o
conquered people. What service could
they render you against the encroach-
nents of 3 majority who have shown that
they pay no regard to the sanctify Of .
Constitution?
Our only hope is in: the attainment Of
our independence. And / firmly believe,
my COUNT :ymen, that this glorious result
is in store for us. God,z in his, wisdom,
may see to afflict us with more and
greater miseries; but never will he desert
cause so pure and just as ours, and
sancti6ed by the blood ofso many patriot
martyrs. Wecan not and will not fail.
In the vocabulary of freemen, struggling
for all the rights which are dearest to
man, and melted by suck glorious exem-
plarsa IS have illustrated our history, there
is no such word as fail.
There isno justreasop for desp6ndency.
The enemy is no nearer the attainment of
his object to-day than hew four years
ago, The capital Of your e6nntry still
stands proud and defiant, surrounded by
the gallant sons ofeyery State in the Con.
federaey. The army under Hood is still
powerful and uncoRauered, in spite of the
boasts and false dispatches of the en-,
emy. Although the enemy occupy stht
seaport of Georgia, the whole Of the in
terror is freed from their presence. Sher
mans further advance will be contested
inch by inch, and ] trust and beEsse sue
cessfully.. Your sons and brothers in tht
field hsye no thought of submission. Fol
years they have perilled -liis and limb il
our cause. Let ot.us at h,me weaker
them by dependency and doubt.
