a friond in Boston as follows : ' Our people are bent on their purpose. There is no flurry. It is the flow of a deep and angry river. Thcre is no I conade in Georgia. Our people have been very quiet Their anger has beeu aooumulating since the passage of the first personal liberty bill. The eleotion of Lincoln has been but the occasion, j dueiug utterance of the accumulation of years. Georgia hasdearly loved tlie Uniou ; she has been taunted by coterminous States, east and west, with being ; reant to the iuterosts of her section. I fear now she is extreme in the opposite directioD. The newspaper have not j aggerated the state of aifairs our people i are all arming ; the State is buiding armories ; she is buying corn to establish public granaries; she is buying steamers in Eurore. Every preparation is beiug coolly aud wisely made for extremitiea. What does all this mean ? It mesns that, in less than six mouths, your son aud mine, in whose veins the same blood runs, may be ari ayed agaiust eaeh other in deadly hostility on the field of battle. - Secession meaus war ; the one is certain to follow the other ; and war between )rethreu is most unuatural and terrible."
