THE SENTIMENT OF A PATRIOT.
From Judge Nisbet’s Letter of Acceptance.
** IF I HAD BEEN CALLED OUT BY A CONVEN
TION, HAVING IN View THE revival of old,
OR THE ORGANIZATION OF NEW PARTIES, I
WOULD, WITHOUT HESITATION WITHHOLD MY
NAME. I COULD NOT LEND IT TO SUCH PUR
POSES. FORTUNATELY, PARTIES IN OUR GREAT
STATE ARE EXTINCT, AND HE WHO, UNDER EX
ISTING CIRCUMSTANCES, WOULD SEEK TO DRAW
ANEW THE OBLITERATED LINES OF POPULAR
DIVISION, OR OPEN ISSUES CLOSED BY THE SE
CESSION OF THE STATE, OR AROUSE PREJUDI
CES AND ANIMOSITIES LAID TO REST BY THE
WAR, IS SCARCELY LESS A TRAITOR THAN THE
MAN WHO WOULD APPLY THE TORCH TO THE
STATE CAPITOL OR, DWELLING AMONG US,
WITH THE REPUTE OF A LOYAL CITIZEN, GIVE
AID AND COMFORT TO ENEMIES.”
Not So.
The " Intelligencer” of yesterday morning
has a short communication from “Jonas”
about the meetings at the City Hall, in con
nection with the call which was published in
our columns for one to be held there last night.
This correspondent says: “ First, they (the
editors of the Confederacy) wanted a meeting
to send delegates” to the Convention. If this
writer does not X.now that we didnot want that
meeting, be is very ignorant, for everybody
else in this community knows it. He further
says, that we now “come out and call on all
those who approve of the late Convention to
meet at the City Hall on Saturday.” JPe have
made no such call. A call for a meeting last
night was inserted in our columns. We put
it in as we would put in other advertisemenfw
—for the money. It was distinctly marked
with the number of insertions, as all adver
tisements are which every reader could see.
Wo did oppose the meeting of the Conven
tion, and were opposed to any meeting held
anywhere to send delegates to it. This the ed
itors of the “ Intelligencer" knew, and we sub
mit: Was it fair and candid in them to admit
into their columns an article stating that we
called for a meeting to send delegates, know
ing we did not? This writer says the call is
for “ all those who approve of the late Conven
tion, io meet at the City Hall on Saturday." He
quotes these words as though he bad taken
them verbatim from the call in our columns,
when it contains no such language. The call
is to “ all those who approve the recommenda
tion’’ of the Convention, of Davis, Stephens
and Nisbet, for President, Vice-President and
Governor; and not to all who approve the
Convention. We approve the recommendations
of that Convention, but we opposed the Con
vention, and shall continue to do the same
thing towards all other Conventions; and
while we are free to say that it had loss of the
characteristics of a nominating Convention
than any that ever was held in Georgia, we i
are by no means reconciled to a Convention, i
Entire harmony and good feeling prevailed. ,
There was no scrambling and no cliques—no ]
bargaining and corruption, and no attempt to (
cheat the people out of their choice. It was ,
conducted fairly, and a patriotic spirit pre
vailed at every step. It had none of the ob
jectionable featarcs of a Convention about it— '
none. We speak what we know on this point 1
Withall this, we should greatly have pre- 1
ferred no Convention at all. We did what we 1
could to prevent it: but we are not so foolish 1
as to kick things to pieces and do mischief 1
generally because we can’t have things exact
ly our own way. When we can’t get what we
want, and believe honestly to be the best for
the country, we will take the next best in ev
ery case. We have no partisan ends to serve.
The good of our country alone is at heart. We
oppose Gov. Brown just as we did the Conven
tion. think the third term as dangerous
to our liberty and well being as a Convention,
and a little more so.
We have no war to make on Gov. Brown or
his administration, and we by no means in
sinuate that he would do worse for another
term than he has in the past; but if ever this
barrier is broken down and disregarded, one
of the strongest safeguards of liberty will be
irretrievably lost.
It to. however, just as reasonable to ask us j
to concede that Conventions will always be !
patriotic and make good nominations, as to
:n torse the third term doctrine. We believe
in one about as much as the other.
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
We oppose the Convention, and we oppose
the Governor holding his office three terms.—
What are we to do? We take choice of evils
and go for what we think best for the country.
If the editors of the “Intelligencer,” and
those whom they allow to use their columns,
will not misrepresent us, we shall not com
plain.
Didn’t Answer.
The Intelligencer thinks our question was
“flippant.” We don’t so understand it. Flip
pancy is defined to mean “fluency or volubil
ity of speech.” Our question was -souched in
respectful lunguage and contained but few
wards ; so it could not have flippant.
We wanted to know if the Intelligencer and
the friends of Gov. Brown were going to sup
port the Davis and Stephens electoral ticket
recommended by the Convention at Milledge
ville, but it has failed to respond. The editors
say there is time enough yet to determine this
question, and so there is ; but we wish them to
say now. Do they aim at ignoring the ques
tion till after the election for Governor and
then to get up an opposition ticket to the one
now before the people ? If they intend to
wait till then to give their suppoit to that
ticket, they might as well not give it at all.—
After then, neither their support nor opposi
tion will be needed or regarded.
The editors have discovered a motioe in our
question, which they say is “apparent,” &c.
We did have a motive in it, which we made
not the slightest attempt to conceal. We sup
posed, when we wrote it, that everybody would
at once see the motive ; therefore we are not
surprised at the editors of the Intelligencer
making the discovery.
But come, tell us: Are you going to support
the Davis and Stephens ticket, now before the
people, or are you going to oppose it ? It will
cost you but a word to say yes or no. We ex
pect to press this question till you answer it.
You might as well do so at once and let us
make the most of it. Come, friends, show \ our
hand. Let us Know how and where you stand.

Occupation of Mayfield.
Mayfield is in Graves county, Kentucky,
about 25 miles from Paducah, 30 from Colum
bus and 35 from Hickman, Kentucky, and
Cairo, Illinois. Get your map and look at
those various points, and you will at once see
that Mayfield is a most important strategic
point.
On the morning of the 13th Sept., quite a
number of regiments, battalions and compa
nies, belonging to General B. F. Cheatham’s
brigade, left Columbus, went to May field and
took possession of the place. The importance
of this step cannot be overestimated. Lin*
coin’s troops are on the soil ot Kentucky in
three or four places. Openly they are recruit
ing and arming the men to make war on our
friends in that State, destroy their property
and crush’them entirely out; and then make
a descent on Tennessee. It is to our interest
to keep the war off our own soil and go to the
relief of our friends in Kentucky at the same
time.

TER AND THE TENTS ENEMIES IN GEOR
GIA HE ALTH, AC., AC.
Camp Bartow, )
Manassas, Sept. 12. j
Dear Confederacy: 1 have received your
paper with great regularity, now since the
partial righting up of things at Manassas,
which, since the memorable 21st, has been
confusion confounded, ruin disordered ; in
deed, destruction seemed a part of affairs.—
Boxes, bales, regimental and ordinance stores,
forage wagons, without horses, tents, old
lumber, otlal, hides, and every conceivable
variety of other stuff, was thrown out, in and
around, in the greatest profusion. Now, how
ever, shanties, express offices, sutlers’ tents,
freight depots, with many other buildings of
minor importance, have been erected; the
grounds freed, comparatively, from rubbish
and disorder, now shapes itself into regular
ity. The encampment, for half a league out,
is under guard, so that those whom curiosity
had brought hither, are made to hustle out
sans ceremonie, whilst the issuance of new or
ders forbid the arrival or departure of any
one, on any errand, or from any quarter, with
out a special grant from headquarters. This
is as it should be, for, before this, imposition
after imposition was practiced, in open day,
upon officials, Jyr a system of dodging, known
only to the timid and cowardly. Hundreds
have escaped thus—some to their homes, oth
ers to parts unknown, and many to regions
uncared for, even by themselves.
Points of interest relating to the disposition
of our forces in this division of the Army,
are scarce, yet, under the eye drift circum
stances that must, some day not very distant,
make events. To the Potomac all eyes are
turned, hopeful of some healthier exercise than
that of nursing arms ard airing tents. Gens.
Beauregard and Johnston are here, busy map
ping out our destiny. To-day, they and suit
swept by my humble canvass (osnaburgs)
gauntleted and spurred, looking after some
thing yet unknown to us.
Camp Stkphbks, )
41 miles S. K. of Fairfax C. 11.,
September 13. J
Since writing the above, orders a ere re
ceived to strike tents and take up our line of
march towards the modern Jordan, which, if
you remember, is a small stream thet divides
Paradise from Pandemonium ; but, before
reaching its sacred border, our Georgia wedges
were thrown, base down, on a rich field of
clover, hedged in on all sides by alternate
clumps of pine, brambles and pit-falls, and
the brigade camp, named in honor of our
worthy Vice-President, A. H. Stephens. The
brave fellows, however, had scarce two hours
rest, when summoned in all baste to march to
—they knew not where.
Leaving camp at 9.30 P. M., they hurried
on, as on every previous march, through a
drenching rain, without food, and scarce one
blanket to a mess. Mystery seemed to en
velop affairs, whilst the night put on a double
darkness, that pained all eyes. Groping their
way over hedges, along muddy by-paths, un
der dripping cedars, and through corn fields,
a point was reached, which they supposed was
buttheselndgeof the enemy’s camp; but, alas!
hard labor, with grounded arms, was required ;
for, no sooner than a halt was made, was
a counter’inarch ordered to Fairfax station,
2| miles, to unload a train of Ordnance and
provision stores, just arrived from Manassas.
To come now to this humble service was al
most too much for their now thoroughly
warmed up natures to bear. Yet the task was
performed so rapidly as to shame old Time
himself. I found the whole two regiments,
9th and 11th Georgia, back fretting over their
16 mile march, when Dr. C. and myself reach
ed camp.
We are now sleeping on our arms, to move
at a moment’s notice. Brisk times ahead.
Skirmishers report the enemy in full force,
80,000 strong, just across the Chain Bridge.
Beauregard and Johnston are ahead of their
respective divisions, just in advance of us.—
All are on tip-toe, and some sick.
The fight at Munson’s Hill, on the Potomac,
or rather South of Alexandria, was a hand
some affair. The rumor in camp is to the
effect that some of our boys threw a few sam
ple shot into 4,000 cavalry, infantry, and one
battery of McClellan’s forces. The old tri
pod Me. could not stand such imposition—
such impudence. Gathering courage from
impulse, he made a bold strike, to brush us
off the hill, but the few braves that held it
stood up to the scoundrel, and sent him back
on a double-quick ; leaving nine dead on the
field, some few pieces of artillery, a number
of guns, small arms and camp equipage.
This fight, doubtless, brought our Brigade
thus near the (to be-fought) battle of Lodi.
I see, in your issue of 4th Sept., an extract
from my letter of the 20th of August, with
comments thereon, by Q. M. Gen. Foster, in
which he censures, or rather corrects me in
very respectful terms, relative to the tents
furnished us by the State of Georgia. He as
sures the public that Gov. Brown has nothing
to do with the tents, or their manufacture;
and that, hence, 1 did him injustice, when I
asserted that the wedges now in use were of
inferior quality. It was not my intention to
blame any one, in thus exposing an evil so
annoying to myself, the eimfort of the men,
and so ruinous to health. Now, without ad
ditional complaint, I will simply remark, by
way of correction, that those tents occupied
by the companies mentioned in my letter, are
of ordinary osnaburgs, and, save those of the
officers, are without flies. I must, therefore,
respectfully insist upon being correct in my
first statement. lam here, honestly endeav
oring to do uiy duty—withholding nothing—
by way of manual aid, or the open exposition
of evils that exist, let them cotue from any
source whatever. I admit that facilities for
obtaining suitable material for making tents
are exceedingly limited; yet, certainly no
difficulty can possibly exist as to propoi lions
and patterns, as this has nothing to do with
the texture of the goods used in their man
ufacture.
One or two companies—the Houston Volun
teersand Walton Infantry—have tents of large
dimentions, with wall and fly, which answer
every purpose desired. lam aware our re
sources are few, and that the army we are so
suddenly called on to arm, equip and feed is
enormous ; but I must insist upon the propor
tion and the uall and fly, let the texture be
wbat it may.
I hear it whispered that there are certain
parties in Georgia, having loose capital at
command, who are, and have been for some
time, buying up Georgia State bonds held by
parties North, at 40 cts. in the dollar, hoping
thereby to reap a rich harvest when our diffi
culties shall have ended. This system of fi
nanciering is a bold species of robbery, and
should be taken hold of and corrected now
while incipient. I credit this simply from cir
cumstances alone, such as have come to my
knowledge within the past two weeks.
The health of the Regiment has much im
proved now since a fight seems certain. The
boys treat the prospect sportively, evincing
their anxiety by laughter, mirth and song.—
You may rest content in the belief that should
a brush take place, the Eleventh Georgia will
leave many a scar to tell the tale of their
bravery. Before this reaches you. I shall
probably have left for the fight mapped out as
but a few miles off. MORE ANON.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM “ELBERT.”
THE HEALTH OF THE ARMY.
Maxassas, Va., Sept. 16th, 1861.
Afcssrs. Editors: The necessary privations
, of camp life and perils of the battle-field are
: borne by the Southern troops with the most
patriotic fortitude ; but there are some affairs
conducted in a manner which patriotism can
neither suggest on the part of those wbo con
trol them, or prompt endurance of on the part
of those who are most directly affected by
them. At present I shall only allude to such
things as are connected with the health of
soldiers in the camps.
The past month has been one in which there
has been a reckless waste of life in the army,
! in consequence of which our cause is now suf
fering. The want of regulations which might
; have been enforced, has doubtless sent trou
; ble to every Southern heart, besides drawing
largely on our resources in men and money.
In the first place, unmerchantable provto
i ions, such as no one would dare to offer in our
markets, have been occasionally thrust upon
' the army.
In the second place, the hygienic regula-
lations of the camps are mainly left in the
hands of the soldiers, who have not the requi
site amount of philosophy about them to ap
preciate the deleterious influences which nat
urally arise in large collections of people, or
to guard against their effects on the human
system.
A large proportion of the fatality of the ar
my arises from want of the proper enforce
ment of hygienic regulations, such as the ju
dicious selection of locations for camps, prop
er construction and arrangement of tents and
strict regimen.
Now, I am not forgetful that the Govern
ment is in its infancy; and having the bur
den of a great war on its shoulders, cannot
extend its powers into all the minutiain every
movement of the army; that this particular
juncture is not the most favorable time for the
introduction of systematic regulations in all
the sanitary details of camps and hospitals,
nor, that relief associations are making large
contributions to the hospital department; but
the Government has the power to intrust the
health of the army to efficient men, and the
whole people are entitled to, and ought to de
mand the faithful discharge of, each duty of
every public servant, no matter what may be
his rank.
Although it may often happen, as at the pre
sent time, that other matters than the health of
and comfort of soldiers may claim the first at
tention, there can scarcely be a combination of
circumstances, in which there cannot be some
means available by which great good could be
done in preserving the health of soldiers. Truly
the good people of Georgia are acting a noble
part through their hospital and relief associa
tions, but in order that soldiers may realize the
comforts thus offered, there must be a co-ope
ration on the part of those intrusted with the
care of those for whom they are intended.
There is a remarkable want of vigilance in a
a great many particulars connected with the
welfare of the army, and consequently, the suc
cess of the enterprise in which the country is
engaged; but the greatest evil of all is in the
neglect of proper sanitary measures.
Great wars in civilized nations have almost
uniformly confirmed the opinion that the per
ils of the battle-field are not so great as those
of disease—then, all must admit that more at
tention and greater ability should be engaged
in preserving the health of the army than in
the military direction of the campaign.
One illustration will serve to make the point
more forcible : At the close of one of the bat
tles in the present war, a regiment was kept
lying in the entrenchments day and night with
out any kind of relief, or the accomplishment
of any good, until the men were worn down
with fatigue and exposure in the mud and wa
ter. Subsequently, when they resumed duty,
only ninety men were able to muster.
Where good can be act omplished, no essen
tial sacrifice is too great, but where no advan
tage is gained, every loss is irreparable.
Our cause is worth all that we can expend in
money and life, and our success depends on a
judicious expenditure of both; then let every
one who can aceompiish anything in the right
direction contribute his mite.
The war news will be very interesting during
this week. Heavy cannonading is now going
on in the direction of Alexandria. The tele
graph will doubtless bring you stirring news
before this reaches you. The 15th Georgia Re
giment is on the move. You will get further
news from them soon. ELBERT.

federate States of Amer’ca.
A PROCLAMATION.
WHEREAS, By the provisions of the 3d
Section of an Act of Congress, approved
August 30tb, 1861, entitled “An Act to collect
for distribution, the moneys remaining in the
several Post Offices of the Confederate States
at the time the postal service was taken in
charge by said Government, it is “ made the
duty of the Postmaster General to make pro
clamation that all persons who are citizens of
the Confederate States of America, and who
may have rendered postal service in any of
the States of this Confederacy, under contracts
or appointments made by the United States
Government before the Confederate States
Government took charge of such service, shall
present their claims to his department, veri
fied and established according to such rules as
be shall prescribe, by a time therein to be set
forth not less than six months, and requiring
the claimant to state, under oath, how much
has been paid and the date of such payments,
on account of the contract or appointment un
der which said claim occurred, and what fund
>r provision has been set apart or made for
the further payment of the whole or any por
tion of the balance of such claim, by the Gov
ernment of the United States, or of any of th
- and they shall also state, on oath
whether they performed fully the service ac
cording to their contracts or appointments du
ring the time for which they claim pay, and
if not, what partial service they did perform
and what deductions have been made from
their pay, so far as they know, on account of
any failure, or partial failure, to perform such
service.”
Now, therefore, I, JOHN H. REAGAN, Post
master General of the Confederate States of
America, do issue this, my proclamation, re
quiring all persons having claims for postal
service, under the foregoing provisions of the
3d section of the above named act, to present
said claims to the Auditor of the Treasury for

the amount thereof, as required by law.
Blank forms for presenting and verifying the
claims will be furnished on application to the
Auditor of the Treasury, for the Post Office
Department
And I hereby require all persons who have
heretofore collected moneys as Postmasters in
the States now composing the Confederate
States, and which they had not paid over at
the time the Confederate States took charge of
the postal service, to make out, under oath,
and send to the Auditor of the Treasury for
the Post Office Department, on or before the
13th day of October next, a general or ledger
account with the United States, for the service
of the Post Office Department, up to the time
the control of the postal service was assumed
by the Confederate States, in accordance with
the general regulations of the Post Office De
partment. issued May 15th, 1859, page 106,
