| tions the following interesting facts -
| During the war there was a secret
society organized in the interior of Georgia,
called the "United Americans,' mostly
composed of poor people. This society was
consistent throughout, even in the most try
| ing times, in its adherence to the old Union
| and its active opposition to the Rebel Gov
eminent. The sentiments of its members
manifested themselves in several localities
in persistent, and sometimes successful
opposition to the execution of the conscrip
ton laws, and are said to have been on the
point of breaking out in open Instruction
against the Confederate rule about the time
when General Sherman's army passed
through Georgia. These people have re-.
NAMED faithful, and are at the present
moment, as understand, in good faith fur
thering the objects of the national Govern
ment. But they are in no hurry to see the
State Government reconstructed, and to see
sion times restored to influence and power.
They would, on the contrary, prefer con-
tinuance of the military rule, until the peo-
Pile generally have come to better under
standing Of their situation"
