Tne Legislature f Georgia will no doubt duly conider Gov. Brown' topic of addrefp. It will i e aided by the presence and instruc tion of tuch men as Gen. Cobb, and Mr. Vice President Stephens, and it will enact such resolve as will show to' the country that Georgia finds better employment for her j -triotic resource thau in carping and fawn tiuding ; and that nhe means to stand, as hi tojd, among the foremost in the tnaiu tenancy r-f the nation's true interest. Georgia has no peace position gafcr or 1 t ter thun that set forth iu the Congressional ad dresa. By this she will abide ; and political part'zana who, for selfish end.s, ara divid ng t!i country o.i tticse fanciful schemes, such k Mr. Linton Stephen' propoiiious, will bo ie ruembiredno more vWieo tiie nation tttko atf count of her jewels. We concur with tho Richmond Whig whose article we publish, that impolitic and, unwise as U the "Georgia discoutent," there i u vast ditTereuce between it and the "recon struction" or secession attitude of Mr. lloldeti and hi followers in this State. In Georgia, dbcoutent stop with a legitimate expression of apprehension or disapprobation ; but hftre it has gone the length of tierce denunciation ot the gevernment itself, of startling propi tious for its disruption, for tho surrender t a portion of the estate of Virginia, and all of Kentucky, and Missouri. This Mr. Ilolden has advocated broadly and open 1 j, and the Progress has followed lead. And here in Xcrth Carolina au attempt, capable of proof as against the leaders, has been mado to get a tJvnventionfor the purpose of making Us own terms with the yanke'e government, to the ever lasting disgrace of the Slate. Cumberland Gat. A rumor prevailed iu Richmond on Weduesday, which was believed highly probable, that Cumberland Gap had been recaptured by our forces ; but no ofEcial iufornation ot the fact had been teeeired at iho War DeparttttcnU : . . ? Ike Press. The Greensboro Patriot comes tons with . ie ran. of Governor Vaace hoibted as its SUndidab'. So far, every press which has J. okeu has either indicated aupp?rt of Gov. ance, or in one Instance a strict neutrality, and iu one other a would -if-we-cou'd, or half-and-half. Th'a last is the position of the Progress, "No one is placid in a more per plexed pobition. " It would cheerfully sup port either of them would rather, if p sm ble, as ft does in mo-t cases, support both side; but thi is impossible; and there i tie PEh flkxitt. Really, to ehus perplex ed, " is the most distressing thing alive. And then, " tte don't waut to take any part be tween them." We don't w.mt to l it not tre won't do it w may b obligel to -but very much against the grain. Such is the dolefully perplexed strain of "a hah-and-half. " And the fuuu'est art of thia whole thing is, that in the very mid rijiht iu the centre of thi very perplexing problem the I Progress is supporting Mr. Uoldeu with, ail ltd might, and don'l know it dou't dr-am j of it i wholly unconscious of it, wi.h a f whole col urrn-and-a-half of out-and- ut sup i port right Wore its eye. It looks as if tho j perplexity were put in 1 y thi Editor, after I the rest waa all written. I One thing is certaic,ihero is not a paper in ' the Confederacy, that we have seen, not a meeting of any b dy of people nor of the j o!iier, that l ave given to Mr. Ilclden the j slightest repono b Lis nomination. Seil- created a self tyiOoc t fit: didate, he cannot t ee the reflection of himself in a fcinie out-4 j npukon reception from the pubiic. We have l.eard that he was invited to go to Chah.ini, but declined. We .have heard the resign. s, ' but forbear to publiah them. "If his name ' is before the people iu August," between this and then he ill have invitations to nieet ; Gov. Vance, that he will not be able to de cliue on any ground that he has yet given to the public.' Thai ia an encounter that f.e must prepare to luce. The puMie, informed of his earnest, istrot g and continued fupp rt and commendation of Gov. Vance in the last cauva?, will want to know why l now r.p : poses him; and; as he luis bu.peuded his jaotr j and left his subcribers withuid an or,ran, the pecp'e witl call upm him to come in person. We hiie lieard that a secret Weekly Stan dard of the last week i.- in circulation in the 'yrcA.

The Libby Prison. If Gcueral Dix and that portion of his com mand in New York, known a the wivcr, mothers aud sisters of the Union League Club, whose avocation seems to be the manufacture of "colored troops" out cf free negroes and runaway slaves, could only look into the Libby, thay would discover that this extensive and commodious mansion has been so arranged a to accommodate that very idea of free nation ality'' which affords such attraction to their syuipifthies Here is to be found a special provision for the Yankee officers of the colored troops the pitch and oakum heroes, anrf the nigger brethren, all iu one compartment where, commingling; iu unrestrained and jolly inter course, eating the same mess, drinking froru tLe same cup and sleeping in the same bed, auon fuming the same pipe, these free nationals luay cultivate with alacrity " the ardeut congeniali ties so grateful to the chivalrous General and his susceptible subordinates of the "Union I Lsague."

Southern Literary Messenger. The March Dumber of thi sterling periodical pre sents an unusually attractive appearance, and is replete with instructive' and interesting reading matter. Among other attractive feature-, the M;sseuger contains a beautifully executed reprint of the latest Parish Fashion.

Tney are evidently determined tv spare nothiug which energy and a liberal expenditure of means can supply, to make the Megj-enger attractive to all clase of lb Southern people. If they are not sustained by a liberal encouragement it will constitute a reproach to our national pride for which there can be no justification.

Among otiier things that have contributed iothe trtmebdous reaction now going on in the public sentiment e Korth Carolina, per-h-ps nothing has bad a more controlling influence than that exerted by the soldiers on furloughs to visit their families and friends.

Wo' regret to se signs of dissatisfaction in Georgia. The telegraphic synopsis of Governor Brown mes sage is not pretty, and Mr. Linton Stephens' proposal to offer peace after every G-n federate victory shows-. to much anxitty to proffer what is not wanted, or, at leas', has never been asked for. Would it bo ill-advised cr precipitate to wait until the first gre.-tt Cm federate victory had been won ? What does Mr. Linton Stephens propose to tit) atter every Confederate defeat. The people of Georgia mistake the people of Virginia, precisely as they did in 1860-'6l, when Virgiuia seemed and was reglly loath to secede. Who quarrels notf with Virginia's at tiiude towards the North? Georgiau fancy V:rgit)iai.s r-ave forgotten George Mason and Patrick Henry and John Raudoh h, and bav left to Georgia the proud task of upholding the standard of State Right.
