reys and many Others Of the late military leaders not
so widely known. So likewise Hon W. W. Boyce, OF
this State, TO whom due the credit OF having been one
Of the first TO see the inevitable troubles Of the future
his advice very early was to bow before the storm
Governor Orr has several occasions made known his
views on the subject Ex-Governor Marrath, an able
counsellor aud "one OF the judges Of the people Is
understood TO be in favor Of accepting tho propositions
Of Congress though no has never made his opinions
public. SO also Ex-Governor Aiken. There are other
leading in the State, who we know hold the same
somo Of them have openly advised this course;
from false shame fear Of being charged with political
backslding have not yet made public profession Of
their faith.
In Georgia we ind Ex-Governor Joseph e Brown, .
bold independent and far sighted leader Of the people
He stepped forth promptly almost upon the very day of
publication of the act and counseled acceptance,
showing that he had well considered the subject during
the years OF its preliminary agitation, He Of
few public men Of the South who have part in the
history Of the past fully equal TO the demands OF the
present who that the issues for which we went TO
war gone-have been swept entirely of exist
euce that world has moved onward during those
or years, Notwithstanding the blockade of the
Southern cotton ports Governor Brown is abreast with
the times, and OF those mon who comPrehends that
when the timcs change people should change with them.
Tho other side nnds a very large representation in
Georgia, much larger than South Carolina. Here
only have Mr. r. Perry openly and decidedly pro-
nounced against reconstruction and perhaps one or two
newspapers OF circulation and influence In Georgia the
greater part Of the press the papers
in the State, are in the opposition. OF public men,
Governor Jenk ex-senator b. II. Hill and Cover
nor Herschel " johnson known to be on that sde
So also Alexander H. Stevens, who however, has stud
ously avoided giving any public expression Of
much. and their arguments have extensively
copied, not in Georgia only but by papers favoring
'spassivism all over tho South. The result of their
teaching is seen in the small NUMBER Of whites who

Mischief Of the Northern Democracy,
From the Charlottesville tva) Chronicle
Irresponsible persons are much more violent than
tween themselves and others. We this in the
Northern democratic press; IL bitter gall II Is
cans urges the non-acceptance by the south OF the
reconstruction bills But the South, which has TO act
which has 10 feel the consequences OF incorporate Ian
guagc winch has to weigh the whole business calmly
practical question affecting it's very existence, is quiet
and silent Tho same fact is illustrated within state
limits Suddenly the valley has become our South Caro-
Ina The press OF the valley Is much more 'unrecon-
sructed" than that of the East The Stanton papers,
esanst convention Why is thisq At the North the
democracy afford 10 talk and TO denounce and
up OF martyrs. Tho radical storm can only burt
their heads In the shape OF election No military
viii rule in their households; negroes will uptnrn
their social structure. In The valley there few
groes and this explains why they not much dis
turbad the people south Of James river This Is why
Mr. Baldwin is not as exble as sir Flournoy Mr. Flour
TO deal practically with social cloud
Baldwin only looks at it like an astronomer through
glass II s the difference between playing the martyr
and writing on marlyrdom 1t IS the same thing in Ma.
ryland and Kentucky They are the only confederates
left now. If Congress takes them in hand and ruins
them they will become as mellow the Charleston Ner
This is the reason why our ladies' aud the clergy
have been violent They do not bave to act dhe
clergy are comparatively Withdrawn from secular affairs
The ladies' merely give vent to generous sentiments
often with no sense in them They did much by their
thoughtcs5 ardor to bring on the war. They did much
to prevent an adjustment during the war; So with the
1'haca elias dnat tha and
with real confronting difficulties The ladies' took II for
granted tho thing would end like q nove-in some
pleasant, heroic way. DR. Dabney is writing on s.
cession now There Ia no calculating the mischief the
Northern democracy are doing MS now. The republican
the New York Drv Box or the National Iutsigencsr
talks as the Southern press talks The Inference ia that
rife for another fight and stili struggling and
kicking. IL is great mistake.
What n Z" Fighting Rebel" Thinks.
A writer to the Columbus Ga Inquirer, who styles
himself fighting rebel, pitches into ex.United State
Senator Hill Of Georgia. who seems 10 think, by his
letters and speeches, that Southern war against the
North has just commenced, as follows:-
You keep throwing up to secesh that 1--WE arc the
most submissive Of ALL" We know We are, because we
recognize right OF the North to alter. to make and
unmakc their constitution equally with the South
and because we PRIDE ourselves upon honor and
chvary and not gong to retain the stakes after we
have put them up to tho sword and lost so lar rom
upon II as the highest evidence we can transmit to pos
,ey OF our high sense Of honorthat we submitted as
none but gentlemen can TO unconditional surrender
Withholding nothing not even bar OF gold left hid in the
camp and claiming nothing not even iie-for If we are
slain like MAMMALIAN, Is nos because our lives are
forfeited by unconditional surrender but because
the character OF our adversarie5 Is different We are not
a lawyer but have never heard Of powerful nation
going % vatte Blackstone ask what to do with
their prisoners they have generally acted according TO
their Interests and fears Does Mr. Hill fur-
get when he Is asking TO play 'the mule, that he Is
talking TO nation OF gentlemen who disdain after sur
rendering up everything TO their conqucrors depending
on their magnanimy, 10 beg for life property
We glad SIR Hin s getting ready TO fight He did
hght for southern constitution. But when bs
gets ready die for the Yankee constitution that
left c will find that the South cannot be whistied the
battle field by any that did not bear her be-
loved banner TO her sacred fields Of freedom
bad Advice.
