Greeley and the ReF ublicans first got il
up it's their patent, and have more re.
spect for them than for such scoundrels as
Vallandigham, who want to steal their
ideas" Mr.. Toombs spoke at some length
in this style. declaring finally that the
people of the South could never be brought
to accept the constitutional amendments as
finalities, and that if the Democratic party
took that ground they would have nothing
to do with that party. "What do you
look forward to in the future?" / asked /;
"How can you escape the results of the
war 2" '.We will fight you again Just as
soon as we can get ready" he answered !;
"and | believe we can get ready much
sooner than most people think" "You
cannot seriously believe that the South
will attempt another warp "I certainly
do, and | believe that shall live to see
Southern independence. Many of our
people are losing the hope that they will
see Shiloh 10 their day, but they are train
ing their children to take up the work."
General Toombs talked in the most bitter
way against the Republican party, which
he denounced as composed of thieves, rob.
bers aud prison convicts.
RENEWAL OF THE WAR HOPED FOR.
! asked if he thought any considerable
number of meu in Georgia agreed with him
in desiring renewal of the war, and in
still hoping for Southern Independence.
"Two-thirds of all the white men in the
State and in all the South are of this way
OF thinking" he replied, sand il you will
go in the country among the planters, Won
Will find what say is true. In the large
towns the editors and business men talk
bat they know nothing of the
of the people"
NORTHERN EMIGRATION NOT WANTED.

esirable for the South "No," he replied. |

GEORGIA BONDS WORTHLESS.
He finally got upon the subject of the
resent State government of Georgia.
overnor Bullock, he said, had stoen.S S TO-
90 900 from the State for himself and his
lends. The bonds the Radicals had is
led would never be paid. 1t amused him
see the Wall street bankers buying
lem at 80 and 80 cents on the dollar,
hen they were not worth copper. No
AN here would give dime for a bushel
them. He hoped Bullock would forge
t of them, and give the New, York yam
'es all they would take at any price. 1t
as way of foraging on the enemy that
, liked to see. Not dollar of the debt
since the war would ever be
lid.
why can't you let us alone p he went
excitedly. "If your idea of fgovernment
nota lie, stay away and let us manage
II own affairs. We don't want to have
ything to do with you. We had the
of killing more than 200 900 of
