THE GEORGIA CONVENTION.

1t is evident that the Presidents policy Of
pardoning everybody who could get elected to
a Rebel State Convention was a good policy in
this respect, that il encouraged airanknesS OF
utterance and an independence OF action on the
part of the delegates which they would not have
eyinced if still subject to penalties for their re-
cent treason. We have been enabled TO judge
how much of the newborn Southern loyalty is
genuine and how much is affected aud
spurious. Not a State Convention but has been
turned into a debating school wherein the
choice spirits of Secession took the stump IL Gu
logy Of their departed institutions not one
that has not by more than one overwhelming
vote proclaimed that it accepted the issues OF
the war with an angry sense of humiliation,
with unconcealed reluctance, and with an oh.
stinate effort to save all that could be saved
from the wreck of the Confederacy.
Georgia supplies the latest illustration. 1t
happens that the proceedings Of her Convention
have been most fully reported in journals Of the
conservative stamp, and if the verdict is un-
favorable it cannot be charged 20 radical hostil-
Ity. Two letters lie before us summing up the
work of the Convention. One says: With
every disposition to charity Of Judgment, l
must pronounce it very far from being
good" Another, still more emphatically:
" The Georgia Convention has terminated its
laboYs. ] think il would have been better had
it never have met" However that may be,
this much is clear, that it has left plenty OF
work for its successor. Georgia can never re-
sumo its place in the Union till another Con-
yenton has oyerthrown the work of that which
has Just adjourned, or till this has reassembled
and reconsidered its action. AS the record
now stands, the State has not fully complied
with q single one of the conditions which the
President has declared indispensable TO her re-
admission. Much less has she done anything TO
entitle her to favor in Congress which may
prove disposed TO exact substantial guarantees
in behalf of the emancipated blacks
The truth is that Georgia has refused to null
lily her act Of Secession, and has simply re-
pealed it, She has not abolished Slavery. She
has recognized its abolition by the war, with a
proyiso that her acquiescence in the action o.
the United States Government is not to DO con-
strued az a REIMBURSEMENT Of her claim TO com
pensation. She has not ratified the Constitu'
tlonal Amendment, but left that question un'
touched. And finally, although the Con
yention has been reported by telegraph
as having repudiated the Rebel War Debt,
the telegraph did not tell the whole
truth. The debt is left in such q shape
that there will be no difficulty hereafter in
adopting the whole Of it, Georgia, therefore
has in effect declared that she chooses to wait
for readmission till she can be admitted On hel
own terms. She does not yet know that she ID

nerfectly welcome to leave it.

Two or three weeks ago, the active supporters
of Messrs. Murphy aud Dean for Senators
yehemently assured us that they were as
earnestly favorable as we were to rally OF
our citizens irrespective of party for Municipal
Reform; but they thought it best not to raise
that issue in the State Election. "Only wait
till the Charter Election" they urged, "and
we will all BIO with YOU We did not think it
wise or well to seek party advantage from the
division Of our opponents founded on the devo-

THE REVIVAL OF TEMPERANCE.

On Thursday evening last an immense meet
ing Of the friends of Temperance was held IN
the Rev. T. l.. Cuylers church, on Lafayette
ave, Brooklyn. Over 1900 were present. num-
bering many of the most prominent citizens.
The Mayor, Col. Wood, presided. DIR. Charles
Jewett Of Norwich, Conn, delivered powerful
scientific address on the nature of alcoholic
beverages. He demonstrated that alcohol con-
tains no nourishment; that, being the product
Of decay in vegetable matter, it tends to decay
and destroy the human frame, and always pre-
disposes those who use it habitually to cholera
and violent diseases. DIR. Jewett was followed
by the Rev. Mr.. Cuyler, who pleaded for total
abstinence, on the ground OF self.denial for the
good Of Others.
This large meeting is one Of the many signs
of general revival of the Temperance Reform.
A new National Temperance Society and
Publication House" has lately been organized in
New.York. Its President is William +. Dodge.
Among It's Vice Presidents are Gen. Howard,
Gov. Buckingham, Bishop James and Gen. +.
Cary. William II. Booth is Treasurer and
the Rev I. L. Cuyler Chairman of the Execu-
tive Committee. The Board Of Managers is
composed of men representing the various de-
nominations and the different temperance
orders" and societies in the country. The
payment Of one dollar year constitutes an
annual member-of twenty dollars, constitutes
liie-member-and of ono hundred dollars, a
life-director.
The new society proposes to open publica-
ton room in New-York for the issue Of total
abstinence books and tracts similar TO the
National League" in Great Britain. Ii also
proposes to work through the Christian churches
and Sunday schools. Lecturers will be en-
ployed and efforts made to awaken q temper
ance conscience" in the community. The
society will go into full operation and issue It's
new paper on the first OF January. The Rev.
j. b. Dunn (No. ls6 Nineteenth.st.) is the
temporary acting Secretary of the organization.

From Richmond pansrs.

New YoRK, Jan. 24.-The Richmond En-
quirer of the 2Oth, says: The reticence of
the rebel war department concerning events
current in the south, indicates the fact
that important movements are in progress.
If Wilmington falls there will be no pan
ic though much sorrow for the inhabitauts
The idea that there is an immense amount
of cotton stored there is an attractive in
huence, to say nothing of that port as
base, which is now alluring the invaders
towards it. There is a combination in the
matter which Involves Charleston as WELL
and Sherman is on foot in 1.-The matter. If
these places fall it will be after the exhi-
bition of much strategy,for Sherman is al
ways at it, and we hope our army is also.
Shermsn's feints are in fact realities, for
while aiming at various places, meaningto
take all, it hardly matters with him
which he takes first.
The Richmond Sentinelsays: The Senate
resolution creating the office of commander
in chief of all the armies, has been con-
CURED in by the House, also recommending
the reinstatement of Gen. Joe Johnson.
The Worlds Savannah correspondent
says, the rebels expecting an advance on
Charleston. are making preparations to
eVacuate that city, and have already COM
mencd removing government property.

No Heart to Enter Into Details.
NEW YoRK, Jan. 24.-The Wilmington
Osroliuian OF the 18th, Gays: Fort Fisher
fell last night after an obstinate resistance
Gen. Whiting and staff, with about 5000
troops, are now in the hands Of the enemy.
The conflict within the fort was very Sc.
we're one, and lasted for two honrs,
hand to hand fight with the enemy. We
have no heart to enter into details, nor to
comment on the disastrous event. We may
tell our readers, however, that the gallant
Whiting did HE duty, but had to succumb
to their force of numbers, having been as
saulted on his sea, land, and rear faces by
the soldierP, sailors and marines of the
enemy.
We are glad to learn, says the Lynch
burg Republican, from an authoritative
source, that the salt works will again be
in successful operation by the 1st of Feb
ruary next, possibly before, 80 slight was
the injury to them by the late Yankee raid.

NEw YoRK, Jan. 24.-The Herald's des-
patches from Fort Fisher say the naval
feet end the army commenced moving
towards Wilmington on the afternoon of
last Wednesday. There is yet no confirm
alton of the report that Gen. Terry had
occupied the place, but on the day the
movement commenced explosions in that
direction were heard, and 1t was supposed
that the rebels were blowing up their for.
tifcatiOns, preparatory to evacuating the
town.
A large earthwork on the west side of
Cape Fear River had been occupied by the
troops, who met with little opposition. A
chart of the river has been found, showing
where the rebels had sunk the torpedoes,
and many of these had been taken up. a
number planted in the ground above Fort
Fisher had also been removed.
Two gentlemen who were lately doing
business in Wilmington as merchants ar
rived in this city yesterday. They got
outside of the rebel lines when Fort Fisher
was taken. They say the town was not
we'll provided with works or troops.
