Kor some lime past the counties of Washington, Jefferson Johnson ami iiuike in Middle Georgia have been excited on llie subject of a negro insurrection growing out of the conduct of a loading cohued man named Morris, who eauscd a placard to be circulated calling upon the < Jeorgia militia to assemble and listen to addresses from him and Major(Jeneral Prince Rivers of South Carolina. As the militia did not assemble the excitement died away until last week when an unsigned letter was picked up advising a general massacre of the whites. A general panic was created in Jeflerson, and the whites sent to Augusta, Macon and Atlanta for aid, and the UL'm U13 IWUIV iw L 11C JUUJ}. UUVUIIIUJ Smith seems to have acted with great prudence, and lifts avoided sending armed men to the disturbed districts, but has been active in urging all to abide within the law. Judge II. V. Johnson and .Ex-dovernor Johnson and the United Slates marshal have been active inj arresting persons implicated and in calming the fears of Ihc people. I n all the copnties except Burke, the excitement has subsided. Near Waynesboro, in that county, Morris, the leader of tho proposed insurrection, is said to be surrounded by 150 to 200 negroes, lie is represented as only anxious to escape, but unwilling to surrender. In Washington county leading citizens have united in a sensible address to the people of both races. They urge forbearance on the part of the whites, and a return to peacelul labor on L t. i. .. P I 1. 1 . 1.. UIHl ?>I IM(J UiilvKS. The white people generally have ae-J ted with commendable spirit, and have retrained from all acts of violence. The ringleaders have been arrested, and we see tlmt an extra term of the court has been appointed by Judge Johnson, where the matter will be fully investigated. - +<2?>* ? The Lien Law. The Greenwood New Era, the (/reoivifie News and the Union Times have all been discussing the policy of the .Lien Law; the first named journal advocating ils continuance as a very noc I'Vll, JtllU LllU WlJICl iwu JUUI UtUS urges its repeal. According to the jYcw Jjra, the I/ien Law is a part of tho prevailing system of credit, ami grows necessarily oiu of the present condition of the farming interests which necessitates the n.-e of borrowed capital. It grows, we may say, necessarily out of the present excessive cultivation of cotton, to which it is as well t lie necessary ally, as the legitimate ollshoot. It is alike the parent and the oflspring, the cause andj ctr.H-t of the present exclusive devotion j to the cultivation of a single staple, j which furnishes neither bread nor meat, I nor the means of obtaining them. Abolish the Lien Law, and the credit! system on which this excessive cotton' culture rests for its support goes with it,!; and our farmers will he forced to raise their supplies, the means of subsistence! will become primary objects to the far-J: nier, and our barns will be tilled with i, wheat and oats and corn. We will be!, independent of the credit system, for!, our surplus earnings will be spent at:, home, to enrich our farms and to build! up every industrial interest. We will J1 pay as we go, and get value received! for every outlay. The repeal may' work a temporary inconvcuivnec but', must result in histing good. j, ? j j I' Tjik defeucc of Jolferson Davis by the" yew York Herald is an act of character isiic magnanimity. None but a great! journal can afford to be independent, und the Herald is great enough to be ] magnanimous?groat enough to lead;] public opinion and not wait to follow it. ? It is a noble vindication of the repre-jl scntative man of the South. ' II Release of Edward F. Stokes. Tliis well-known member of the! jireenville Bar, who has been fora long! iine in prison forrefnwJ to -answer cer-j sin legal interrogatories in relation to j lis property, has nt last Leon released! rom confinement by Judge C'ookc. H?' Vns a second time examined by a mediral Hoard under the order of (he Judge, uid the Hoard represented that he was nboring under "partial,ideational in-! ?uiity.M (whatever that -may lie,) and I eeoinmended his discharge. Ill the jourseof his remarks to the prisoner ho .1 udge said : "Kither your olvdinaey or peculiar' ondition of mind has entailed this punishment upon you, against every laudauie effort on the part of the court to relieve you. Amidst the trying duties of the bench, your case has most Iftrgely contributed to its unpleasautries. And if the finding of the medical board be correct, of which the court entertains no doubt, your relatives are responsible [ for tlie sore ordeal Ihrough which you have been made to pass. Some of them, il is fair to presume, are largely indebted to you, and were importu nod by the :ourt to settle the demands against you. Yes, even the decree of the court has l>een rendered?directing the payment >f your debts?which, if attended to, would have resulted in your discharge long since. Again, why your relatives tailed to take the necessary steps to have >*ou declared as a lunatic, can not be accounted for by the court, instead of availing themselves of these diU'erent] modes of bringing relief to you, you liave been pennitte'd to languish ui Uncommon prison, without an ettbrtonl Lheir part to relieve you*" The Judge thereupon directed his discharge until the further order of the court, and ordered that he show cause at. [lie next term why lie should not be stricken from the roll of attorneys, and I i reeled further that judgment he en-j Lered up for the costs of two examinations and dieting the prisoner. Ex Governor Hoffman on the Situation. The F.x-(iovcrnor has been 'interviewed by a correspondent of the IteriId, and gives it as his opinion that Allen will be elected in Ohio, and electid in spite of his inflation views?that linanciul questions will be prominent in ihe next Presidential election, and that upon these issues the Democratic party will maintain its ground as a hard money party. He says: 41 rn 1. ...? ,-wvf in ?vn? inilfYinnnt llwi -- 1 IICTU l? Ilia, 111 V..Vlightest (lunger of the democratic party of the country becoming an inflation party. There are districts and parts of States where such doctrines are popular, just as a high tariff has been popular with many Democrats in Pennsylvania, for instance. Hut the democracy of the country generally arc sound as a gold dollar on the finance question. They know they can't afford to occupy any compromise ground 011 it; to be hard money men with soft money principles. They know there are bul two ideas to this question?for good money and for bad money; and ii in some quarters there appears to be a clamor for what is bad rather than for what is good it makes it all the more their duty to resist it. They know the present depressed condition of the business of tlie country is the result to a great extend of having a currency irredeemable and of uncertain and unsteady value, and that the best cure for it? though they may not favor violent or immediate contractions?is the speediest wiucihld return In snt'f.ie uavinonts: a thing which perhaps can't be forced, but will come before long if the country sets its face unmistakably in that direction instead of the other way, as some leading men in both parties would have it do. They know that it WOl'lD HE NO DEMOCRATIC VICTORY to get into power on any other doctrine. When the democratic party given up its hard money principles it repudiates Jefferson and Jackson and has neither apostles nor creed left. You may depend upon it, the democratic party will not go into the next Presidential issue under any inllution banner. One of its chief mottoes will he ''speediestpossible return to a currency founded 011 gold." Kvery thinking man ought to, and every honest man ought to declare tti the people, that every day the. country uses money of an uncertain and unsteady value it cheats the laborer of hi? justdue, confuses all kinds of legitimate business and prolongs a condition ol things which makes capital timid and idle, and so deprives the workingman of an opportunity to work.

You know also that there are a great many men in this State now who don't care for Democratic or Republican, but for good government. Well, my idea is that people are preparing themselves for the grand revolution that is toconie next year, and these men will vote in such a manner as to give the weight of their suiTrages against the rotten republican party and administration. These men know that only by the defeat of the Republican party can they remove republican misrule. Besides, and apart from this fact, you must remember that New York is decidedly a Democratic State.
