What a Georgian SAYS.

A Mobile paper contains the following
extract from letter written by dis
tinguished Georgian:
| have no real fear of the future. /
cannot conceive that the great body of
the Northern people can be so utterly
destitute of sympathy for their own race
and color as to do the very terrible things
which some OF their leaders threaten.
They have accomplished by the war all
that they desired except one thing, and
that is the breaking of our proud and
naughty spirit. Whateverit is necessary
to do to retain power, that they will do,
and they would be glad to have us prop.
erly subdued, that they might retain it
forever. told the President q year ago
that he had but one thing to do, and that
was to keep close to Gen. Grant that the
latter could not hurt him. If he can do
this, he can be elected in 68 if not, he
must be beaten. Grant is really the man
for US to form on if we can do it. He is
the great man of the North, and his work
is law whenever he chooses to speak. If
we can form party with Grant at its
head, he will crush out all lesser lights.
johnson has done all he dared do for us;
had he dared more he would have been
stronger He dallied too long with the
great questions before him. He saw them
from the beginning, and ought to have
taken his position promptly and made
issues for the Congress. in place Of allow
ing Congress to make them upon him.
They will make no serious attempt to
impeach him. They will talk, introduce
resolutions, and perhaps present articles
of impeachment in the House, but with
out intending to send them to the SEN
ate. Impeaching the President is big
thing"-it has its dangers as well as its
advantages to them, and they will not be
likely to do anything that will affect the
three thousand millions of pablo debt
held by their constituents. The cur
tain has fallen only upon the first
scene in the great political drama.
The grand principles for which
we fought were lost, not because
they were wrong, but that their vindica-
ton was attempted upon questions in
volving slavery, and thus identified, the
former we're lost sight of in the world S
hostility to the latter. But the curtain
must rise again upon other scenes where
in that plague spot will not appear,
and then will come our vindication and
our triumph; else selfgovernment is a
failure, and the divine right theory is
established in the worlds history.

We publish it however more for the deserv-

I circulation Of any paper in Northern Tex

midst Of the most fertile country west Of
the Mississippi river. all the proposed

years, have done much u bring that desir-

| largely contributed to the prosperity and
/ growth Of that town and the surrounding

our humble mite has been contributed to
the same desirable end, and shall feel our
selves amply rewarded by the simple fact
Of being a cO-uorksr IN the same cause,
though less potential. Many years ago,
and hundreds Of miles distant we first
learned the ADVANTAGES Of this cuuutrr
