Tlie General Assembly of the New Seliool Presbyterians adopted the subjoined d?clar?t iou and resolutions, on the 25th ult., without a siugle dis? senting voice. One member did have the grace to suggest that the third resolution, calling for the blood of "the chief fomenlors and representa? tives of the rebellion" ought not to be adopted; but he was not listened to. When men, professing to be Christians, are governed by such feelings as this action of the Assem? bly manifests, it is not surprising that such men as Thad. Stevens, Chandler and Sumner should thirst for, and demand, the blood ot' tho brave but unfortunate men who sur? rendered to tho armies of the United States upon the faith of the promises contained in President Lincoln's pro? clamation; but who have since learned that those promises were a snare and a delusion. Tho Committee on the State of the Country proposed to the Assembly tho following declarations: This Assembly records its devout gratitude to Almighty God, that he ?uti delivered us from the calamities and horrors of civil war, and restored peace throughout our borders. That He has so far quelled the spirit of secession that the supreme and rightful authority of our benefi? cent National Government is now re? stored in all our States and Territo? ries, and we remain, as we were in? tended to bo, ono nation, with one Constitution and one destiny. That he has so overruled tho pro? gress and results of this unparalloled conflict as to make it manifest that our republican institutions are as well fitted to boar the stress and shock of war as to give prosperity and increase in tunes of peuce. That, by His wise and constraining Providence, guiding ns iu ways we know not. Ile has caused the pas? sions and wrath of man to onuro to the welfare of humanity, so that a whole race has been emancipated from an unjust and cruel system of bondage and advanced to the rights and dignity of free men; so that now involuntary servitude, except for e mo, is illegal and unconstitutional wherever our national authority ex? tends. That He gave to our people snch a spontaneous, impassioned and tui bought loyalty-a loyalty that can neither* be forced nor feigned-such resolute and abiding faith, and such a supreme consciousness of our na? tional unity, that we were able in the darkest hours to bear with cheerful patriotism our heavy burdens and our costly saeritices, so that our very sacrifices have knit ns more closely together and made us lovo our coun? try more. That He has purged and enlight? ened our national conscience in re? spect to our national sins, especially the sin of slavery ; and lias also made . os recognize more fully than before the reality of Divine Providence, the sureness and justice of retribution for national guilt, and the grand fact that a nation eau be exalted and ?af?! ooje aa it yields obedience to His ridwteous laws. That He bestowed such grace upon our churches and ministry that, with singular unanimity and /.eal, they upheld our rightful Government by their unwavering testimony and effec? tual supplications, identifying the ?neceas of the nation with Hie welfare of the church. That, above these things, He has, according to His gracious promise, watched over His church and kept it safe during these troublous times; so that not only has our American Christianity been vindicated, our faith and order maintained intact, and our Christian benevolence en haneed, but our purpose and plans for the future have also been enlarged in some proportion to the ueeds and growth of our country; while, to crown all these favors with His special benediction. He has also, in these latter ?layH, ruined down spiritual blessings,, in abundant measure, upon so mauy churches all over the land. Tb? Assembly, while humbly re? cognizing tliese judgment? and mer? cies in the past and the present, also bears testimony {Sin respect to our urgent ueeds and duties as a nation iu view of the new era upon which we ar* now,entering, as follows, viz: '1: Our most solemn national trust concerns that patient, race so lung held in unrighteous bondage. Only as w? are just to them eau we live in peace and safety. Freed by the na? tional army they must be protected iu all their civil rights by the nation? al power. And, as promoting this end, which far transcends any mere political or party object, we rejoice that the active functions of thc Freedmen's Bureau axe still conti? nued, and especially that the oivi] rights bill has become the law of thc laud. lu respect to the concessior of the light of suffrage to thc coloree race this Assembly adheres to tho re solution passed by our Assembly o! 1865 (Minutes, p. 42) ; "That.theco loree! man should iu this country enjoy the right of suffrage, iu cou nectaon "vyith all other meu, is but i simple dictate of justice. The As sembly cannot perceive any goo< reason why he should be deprived o this right on the ground of his colo or his Face." Even if suffrage'ma; not be universal, let it at least be im partial. 2. In case such impartial snffrag is not conceded, that wo may sti; reap the legitimate fruits of our mi tioual victory over secession au slavery, and that treason and rebe] lion may not ouure to thc direct p< Ittical advantages of tho guilty, w judge it b> be a simple act of justic that tho constitutional basis of reprt Mentation in Congress should be a far altered as to meet the oxigenen growing out of the abolition < slavery; and we likewise hold it tot the solemn duty of our National E: ecutivo and Congress to ?ulopt oui such methods of reconstruction i shall effectually protect all loyal pe sons in thu Suites lately in revolt. 3. As loyalty is the highest civ virtue and treason the highest ci\ crime, so it is necessary for the dt vindication and satisfaction of u tional justice that the chief fomo tors aud representativos of the relu lion should, by due course and pr cess of law, be visited with condij punishment. 4. The Christian religion beiug t underlying source of all our pow? prosperity, freedom and natioi unity, we earnestly exhort all o ministers and chu relies to consta and earnest prayer for the Preside of the United States and his cons tu tional counsellors; for the Sen: and House of Representatives Congress assembled; for the Judi of our national courts; for those tl bear rule in nur army and navy, u for all persons intrusted with ? thority; that they may l>e endow with heavenly wisdom, aud rule the fear of the Lord, and so adm ister their high trusts, without st seeking or partiality, that this gr Republic, being delivered from enemies, may renew its youth, n put forth all its strength in the w? of truth and righteousness, for good of our own land and the v faro of mankind. 5. Aud we further exhort anti monish the members of our ch ure to diligent and personal efforts the safety and prosperity of nation, to set aside all partisan j sectional aims and low ambitit and b> do their full duty as Christ freemen ; to the end that our Ch lian and Protestant civilization i maintain its legitimate ascendei and that we become not thefprej any form ot' infidelity, or subject any foreign priestly domination; t tue sacred interests of civil and i gious freedom, of human rights justice to all, of nat it,nal loyalty national unity may be enlarged perpetuated, making our Chris1 Commonwealth a praise among initions of the earth, exemplify and speeding the progress ot Kingdom of our Lord and Savit Jesus Christ. The Prentice wing of the roslin ed Whig-Un ion-Constitution a Democratic Pro-Conservative Pro-Johnson party met in Cou tion at Louisville, Kentucky, on V nesday of last week, and atiemj to form a coalition with the mode Republicans, for the purpose of feating, in the coming election that State, the conservative pu beaded by tue Courier and the D zral. The Convention was small, the efforts lora fusion with the lernte radicals were attended 1 indifferent results. -.--? ? ? ? The Mo-bile Tribune says the I irn shore is alive with flounders, -hat they can bo caught in fabu lumbers by the aid of a sharp-p( >d ?tick and u pine torch. Tile Carama "C on st li utioixnl Amrmi* incut." The radic?is in Congress are already counting tipon four ol the Southern States to ratify their con? stitutional amendment adopted re? cently in the Senate caucus. They make no concealment of their confi? dence in the ultimate passage of their "plan," and have marked out Louisi? ana, Virginia, Tennessee, and Arkan? sas, as States that will ratify it. On the other hand, the opponents of the radical measure declare that nt least four of the non-seceding States will refuse their assent to it. The radical argument 'why the States named should ratify the constitutional amendment, would seem to be based on the supposition that they are pre? pared to go to any lengths for the sake of securing representation iu Congress. It is more probable, how? ever, that the revolutionistsjwish to keep the Southern States deprived of representation, and have, therefore, taken the means of securing their end through the provisions of the caucus amendment. The passage by the Senate of the substitute for the third section which substitute declares that no person who, having held office nuder the United States Government and having taken the oath to the same, participated in the late war, shall be allowed to hold any office under the United States-seems to indicate that tho supporters of this substitute are bent upon closing the door as tightly as possible against tho South. This wanton usurpation of authority and disregard of the rights of those who have been admitted to the benefits of Mr. Johnson's.amnesty will, naturally enough, meet with tho opposition of those in the South affected by the substitute; and, as these constitute the leaders of opinion in tho South? ern States, it is not difficult to decide as to what course they will pursue and what policy they will advocate. The radicals, then, need look for no ratification of then* project from any of the Southern States-even if tho tempting bauble of representation in Congress be held out as a temptation. Tho South ia not prepared to swal? low the bitter pill of negro suffrage just yet, and of this fact tho radicals are well aware. Hence their propo? sition of admission to Congress, in exchange for ratification of their "plan." There is one chance, however, whereby the people can break np this whole combination. And that is, by a support of tho President's policy in the fall election. A vindication of Mr. Johnson's policy of reconstruc? tion at the polls {will kill radicalism beyond redemption, and will restore quiet once more to the country. [New York News. CHOP PROSPECTS IN SOUTH-WEST - ERN GEORGIA.-We clip tho following paragraph from an article written by tho editor of tho Macon Messenger, on his return from Mitchell Court: "As the Court was not our only at? traction, wo would add to the above some items probably of a more gene? ral interest The prospects of crops, now in cultivation, is the absorbing one. Mitchell County is not consi? dered tho 'grain growing County,' but wo saw some very fine fields of wheat and oats, which were then being cut, and without any sign of rust or other injury. Some complaint is made of this in Dougherty County, but it does not exist to any consider? able extent, although in some places the crops do not present avery favor? able aspect. This may be generally attributed to the quality of the ID nd and want Of proper cultivation. With the reverse of this, the crops of corn and cotton in all that section are very promising. Tho land planted is pro? bably three-fourths of that of tho better days of freedmen, (now past,) and a reasonable amount of it is in provision crops. But few seem to have forgotten that 'King Cotton' cannot pay for corn or bacon, with the burden of five cents tax on his back, with more in prospect. If any are committing this folly, let them look to it in time to provide against an inevitable future, that is as appa rent as if past, and its history writ? ten." MARRYING BY SQUA?.S. - At Freed? men's Village, Tvev. J. T. Johnson is performing the ceremony of marrying the people, of which 300 couples will be married bv to-night, and making legal the old marriage relations. The spectacle is really emusiug. Squads of twenty or more couples stand up and are married at once. These con? sist of old and young, tho aged and the infirm, arrayed in all manner of gew-gaw and cast-oft' finery that they could pick up. Many enter upon the ceremony with reluctance, and only consent to tho regulation, which is insisted upon by the Freedmen's Bu? reau, when informed that it is neces ?ary to their new condition of freed? men.-National Intelligencer, 2il.
