Tfyou eiamiue attentively the structure of his

^particular fprm in which the pps'sfbility of peace
.with the North is presented. Contrary to the
phraseology used in his previous message, Mr. '

* independence of the Sduth as the only'way by .
which pence can be reached; but he substitutes
t . % for'the word': independence the word right, .

to those with large families, with ill-clad bodies and

to cover their nakedness or preserve thoir exposed feci

winds. We hope God-will bemerciful to Lh?a?

% Augusta, Nov. 21.?A raiding party of the j
ancniy lapped the Georgia Central Railroad at
Gtriswoldville.at 3, o'clock Sunday afternoon.? j
A lutuber train was captured and destroyed. !
Notliing else is known except that heavy fir
ing was heard there a fe.>v hours afterwards. 1
* The movement of Sherman upon Macou
was Bimply a feint, for the purpose of concentrating
our forces at that place, ana the raid
upon the Central Railroad is for the purpose
of keeping them there, whilst the whole force
of the enemy moves upotja nd captures Augusta
or Savapnah. . r?
^Sherman did not advance his infantry farther
down the Mac6n and Western Railroad than
Sriftin, but his cavalry came as far as Barneaville.
.
irle has crossed the Ocmulgee, with his in-J
Pantry, on that line* near Indian Spring.
The whole force of the enemy is moving in
this direction. Their iidvrihce was three miles

The .atcst Noithern dates say that the large i
Dumber of captures of blockade runners off
Y\ ihnington is owing to a new method which
has been inaugurated by the new commander

which thus far seems to work well. hat the ,
method is the Admiral keeps to himself. I

The tendency of the age, the march of the
American people is toward monarchy ; nnd unless
the tide be stopped we shall reach sonicthing
worse than a monarchy.
.Every stop wo have taken during the last i
four years has beyn in the direction of a mili!
tary despotism.
Half our laws are unconstitutional.
Four-fifths of the popular prejudices of the
tilllOO urn 'Ol.
( v.....mey spring troni passion.
I Tliey ffre begotten by unnatural agents.. Tln-ir
whole course is illegitimate. Men- arc not
brave.enough to tell the truth. They are only
of la^e^growing more liberal, courageous and
honest. i
If a man of. genius were suddenly to spring
II up in Ameriea and grasp the reins, he would
I destroy every vestige of the present, and per!
haps lor the better; but unless some such pow- .
j cr infuses itself into our system, it is the ??rt
? , - ---- I
! o? wisdom to suffer as .few encroachments us
possible. , .
1 The clause in the Message of the President
! which refers to a rep a I of all class exemptions,
is the most extreme proposition that has yet
emanated from the Executive. Its adoption
j hjr Congress would convert.the South into a
j howling desert. It would destroy liberty, content
and'Union. U would bring about resistance
and a counter revolution. It eould not
benefit the army because it would not strengthen
the line of battle. On the contrary, it
J ' "
would Jill tlio ambulances add hospitals. * i
It is preposterous.
We have no idea that Congress, will pass it. t
.The arguments ifgainst it are so clear, those in
favo" of it are so few, that it cannot surely re- i
ceive a respectable concurrence lrom auy body
ot representative men. <
So far as it relates to the pres*, we have not '
r a word to sav. We should like to see all the
newspapers suddenly stopped, jii'st to show to
the people, the army and the Gover nment how
illy eitiicr can do without ihein. The. press is ,
a war power, and no professional journalist in i
the land feels the slightest gratitude for his ex- ^
eruption. The eans<*f and not himself, is benefitted.
It might he. added that.no thoioughiy
independent man would-accept a detail *o edit
a newspaper.* The busiue-s of journalism in
the latt. r event would be to putt' the personnel
at Richmond, and to let the Government, the
country and the people slide. That is about
the gist of the whole matter.
