Capers, of Sandersville, Georgia: TRIBUNE OFFICE, NEW YORK, January 5, 1867. MY DEAR SIR: Yours of the 27th ultimo has but just reached me. I have been long absent at the West, and only returned this morning: meantime you Lave doubtless seen some of the articles and letters I have written bearing on thc great topic. In my judgment, your people begin at the wrong end. You bor? row needless 'rouble concerning your relations with thc Federal Govern? ment. Your first and great concern is, peace and good will among your own people. Make the great mass of Georgians, whether loyal or once rebel, white or black, contented, har? monious and kindly toward each other, and you need not much care what is done or left undone at Wash? ington. Hence, go to work, every mau, woman and child of you, and grow at least twice the cotton, and put up twice the meat you did last year, and let Congress do its worst acts, wait and take its own time for it. I speak from the depth of a hearty good will. Pray try to bu able to write me soon that almost every one in Georgia is hard at work, deter? mined to live and let live, and eon ceding to every one else a perfect equality of rights. Yours, very re? spectfully, HORACE GREELEY. PARIS POLICE.-A Puris letter speaks of- the superiority of French to English police regulations, as fol? lows: "You will soe r?citals of the horrid occurrences at London during the season of icc and snow. People drowned by squadrons and compa? nies, and whole crowds of passers-by surrounded, penned up on a bridge and robbed by wholesale-are among the incidents of the cold snap, lint we have no such occurrences here. If the police tell the people not togo on the ice they do not go. Better than that, wc have a system of pre? vention which checks hi the bud the development of the class of rowdies and pickpockets which are the curse : of English and American cities. This ?ort of people are not known here, for the simple reason that the police, by means of its rkouchard system, holds them with a hand of iron, and because the law against criminals is executed inexorably, and without the intervention of teolini Icalities." j It is stated in a Massachusetts pa? per that Charles Sumner is to retire j I from political life at the close of his j Senatorial term, and spend several years in Europe; that ex-Uovernor ! Andrew will be a candidate for his j place, and also Governor Bullock; that Hon. John B. Alley will tuen ? be Governor of Massachusetts; that General Butler will be the next nom? inee of the Repulican party for Pre? sident, and that E. G. Walker, one of the colored Representatives in the Legislature, will run for Congress in Banks' district v. hen his term ex? pires. We are born crying, live complain? ing and die disappointed.
