Must be free.

--Gov. Brown, of Georgia, was inaugurated Governor of the State for the fourth term on the 4th inst. He closes his inaugural address as follows:

‘ Remembering the sacrifices we, as a people, have made, the sufferings which we have endured, the noble Southern blood which our enemies have split, the deadly hate which they feel toward us, the cruel wrongs which our females have encountered, and the degradation, bondage, and chains which await us and our posterity if we are subjugated, let us humbly and fervently invoke the aid of Almighty Power, and, laying aside all past differences and personal considerations, let us gather around our country's altar, and while we ardently desire peace upon honorable terms, let us here again renew the solemn pledge to each other that come life or death, come weal or woe, we will never sheathe the sword till constitutional liberty is established, Georgia is free, and these Confederate States are recognized by all the world an independent power.
