WHY THE SOUTHERN MOVE
MENT FAILED.

Gen. Johnston ascribes the cause
Of failure to a Encouragement OF
financial means others more vague
", bnt truly, ascribe it to Jate. We
will again venture TO assign the true
cause.
Just before his death, John Quin-
cy Adams encouraged the abolition
lists and warned the South, by say
ing that the former "could never
reach slavery as il existed u''der the
Constitution but that they could
agitote the subject until they urged
the South to secession and that then
under the scar posOer, they could de-
stroy slavery" OF course, no one
will question, that the primal cause
of all the disasters following seces
sion was "the abolition movement
nor, should they doubt that seces>
sion involved, inevitably, all the re-
suits which ensued; its voluntary
offerings, then its CONSUMPTION and
impressments and its final efforts in
summoning all its warlike strength
"from the cradle to the grave. -
The South, defending slavery, in
stead of adhering to the defences Of
the Constitution, plunged into Seees'
sion and staked its fate, before ar
unsympathising world, upon the IS
sue, and it is useless to stop short o
this in tracing the links in the chair
of causes leading to the final result
That was the mistake upon whicl
all our disasters hinged.

GEORGIA NEWS.


The controversy between Ben.
Hill and Mr.. Stephens promises to be
very acrimonious.
"A colored ventriloquist and
sleight o'hand performer has done a
Wilkinson county man out of horse
and buggy.
The late rains damaged Harris
county FIVE thousand dollars worth,
but as the county is out of debt she
can stand it.
The Messrs. Smith, of Rome,
have received a consignment OF Cor
dova coffee, worth about 30 cents
per pound. 1t was grown in Mexico
by Confederate emigyes, who went
there after the close of the war.
Mr.. w. L. Fenley, of Albany,
feeling unwell, procured what he
supposed to be thirty grains of qui-
nine and took a large dose of it.
The medicine proved to be morphine
and Mr.. Fenley came near losing
his life in consequence of the mis-
take.
The Carroll County Times
saws: ave are informed by the
Postmaster at this place that the
Post Office Department is now re-
ceiving proposals to carry the mail
from this place to Dark Corner,
Powder Springs, and Villa RIGA, and
that it is the intention of the de-
partment to put on the service the
first Of July"
Quite a sensation was created
in Covingtonron Thursday last, by
the arrival of a young man from
Tennessee, who claimed the hand o.
certain young lady of that place il
marriage, and upon the young lady's
refusal to comply with his request,
the ardent lover made rather unbe
coming threats, whereupon he was
quoted by an arrest by the sheriff
Coercive marriages, it is to be pre-
sumed, are not tolerated in that
community.

"The chief cause of this step is
that, not being able to employ
editors, we have determined to dc
our own writing"

EVIL TIMES.

This strong and pointed language
is, from the Union-Herald "That
we are in evil times, in bad way, is
unhappily evident. That corruption
does exist that the public moneys
are shared out, as ifthey were the
leg itimate spoils of plumber; that
men 20 into office with single shirt
and come out in a few months with
SPLENDID houses. royal carriages,
magnificent horses, palatial furniture,
diamonds, jewelry, broadcloths, silks
satins, and laces, on salaries that
can hardly pay their board, is not
only true, but is glaringly, defiantly
insolently true. The blood Of this
poor people is becoming hot and
angry, and the hear Of free and
generous country is beginning to pity
their sufferings and misfortunes.-
1t is a sad, sad extremity, and we
must be up and doing, or we shall
fall, if not from outside pressure or
inside desperation, then just from
the awful load we have to carry"

THE HAMPTON ROADS CONFER
ENCE

Mr.. Stephens has just written q
letter in reply to Mr.. Hills late "his'
toricap speech in which Mr.. II. said
that the history of the conference
between Stephens and others and
Lincoln and Seward at Fortress Mon
roe chad never been written" Mr..
S. is indignant at such statement
in view of his carefully prepared mar
rative as published in his "war be-
tween the STATES"
We agree with Mr.. Hill, however,
in believing that the material facts
controlling the conference, have not
been published. We do not under
stand yet, 'ehy it was got up, who got
it up, or aohat it was got up for.
We have no means of information
touching these facts; but we do re-
member that just at the time, it was
stated, that majority of the Confed>
crate Congress were in favor of the
GEORGIA Policy" for terminating
the war and that Mr.. Stephens had
finally given his sanction to it. This
policy, in view of the impracticabili>
ty of negotiations between the two
opposing executives, proposed Con-
vention of all the States, North and
South, to terminate the conflict and
measures were about to be taken to
give it effect. just at this time Mr.
Davis, somehow or other, got in
communication with Blair and to-
gether they got up conference in
which Mr.. Lincoln was to insist upon
the integrity Of the Union and Mr.,
Davis upon the recognitio" q the
Contaderacy and Mr.. Stephens was
chosen to represent Mr.. Davis in
thus defeating the "Georgia Policy"
We do not know il this is any part
of the uuwritten history but such
seemed to US the explanation.

GOLD MINING IN GEORGIA

The gold fields Of Georgia are now
developing 10 more systematic and
energetic manner than heretofore. -
The principal operations are on the
Chestatee river, viii ch rises in the
Appalachian mountains, in Lumpkin
County, and flows southwark to Hall
county, where it empties into the
Chattahoochee. Both these rivers
traverse the gold belt, mostly al
right angles to the strata of the gold
veins, and rich deposits are found
in their beds. The Chestatee from
its mouth to its junction with the
Tesnatee has not been worked ex-
cepting at the shoals, which yielded
largely. Two companies are now
engaged in preparations to work the
bed Of this river one from Ohio,
which is cutting canal and tunnel
ing through ridge SO as to make
available three miles of good depos-
its; the other, controlled by j. X.
Bartlett, of Boston, who has engross>
ed nearly ten miles of the river
Other companies are preparing to
operate in the same region, and DIR.
nj. +. Stephenson, formerly assayer
at the United States branch mint,
says that when these extensive gold
fields are put under the hydraulic
process the yield will be enormous.
Tho conditions in which gold is
found in Georgia demolish the theory
held by several celebrated geologists,
that the metal was brought to the
surface only a short period before
the appearance of man ON earth
One vein which yields gold of ex-
traordinary tineness, is in hornblen-
die gneiss, the oldest formation of
stratifed rocks; while in another
minc the gold is diffused through
granite in paying quantities for
miles, and in still another il is found
in feldspar over one hundred miles
from any everything rock containing
organic remains.

THE HIDDEN TORTURE.

There is nothing SO remarkable in
man as his power Of concealing mem
tai torture. What is unsaid is ever
nearest the greatest. The soul is
beset by some hideous remorse--
consuming care--warnings of dis
ease-fear of death-rejected love-
vile pecuniary distress or the an
guish of anticipated shame. The
dark thing is not merely in the
background; it's presence never
withdrawn, its grasp never wholly
relaxed, it occupies the citadel OF
thought and feeling and all that
is beyond its sway is but outlying
and unconsidered precincts. Mean
while, the man plays his part in so"
ciety as other men do; is polite, gay,
affable and, if he is really strong
and able person, is as much like his
ordinary self, himself before this
dark thing had any hold upon him,
as it is possible to be.
