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, Oil 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.”
The Intelligencer.
Our neighbor is respectfully informed that
we do look to our “ own position, and main
tain our own consistency.” We were not on
ly “recently the opponent of a Convention,”
but we are now, and expect to be through all
time. This we have said again, and again.—
Then why say we were recently opposed to a
Convention.
From the first article against Conventions
which appeared iu our columns, to the pres
ent time, we have distinoly stated that though
we were opposed to Conventions we should
support them nominees, whenever we saw
fit and oppose them when we should think
proper. Then how is it that we occupy our
present position at the expense of consisten
cy ? Please tell us.
That journal says that we were once neutral-
We have heretofore corrected this unfoun
ded assertion of the Intelligencer, but it re
peats it again regardless of the facts which its
e iitors well know.
We say again, that a man’s preference for
Governor, ought not to be a test of his fitness I
to make laws; but we also say that a man’s
bting tn favor of Governor Brown being run
on the Brown ticket, as a Brown man, is no
sort of quantisation for a legislator ; and that
no man should run on this score. The candi
dates should have the priviledge of voting for
whoiusaever they please and no one should
question their right to do so ; but they should
not be supported by others, because they are
in favor of re electing Gov. Brown. The In
telligencer has made that issue ; we have not.
That journal assumes more than it knows, ■
when it intimates that we would not have sup
ported them any way. We are perfectly wil- ’
ling for them to vote for Gov. Brown and do
all they can to induce others to do so ; but we
do object to the Intelligencer advocating their
claims before the people on this score—thus
introducing the worst possible of all partisan
features—that of running men for office cn !
the merits of their being in favor of some
body else.
The Intelligencer advocates,
Andkkw J. Hanskll, of Cobb, for the Sen
ate.
Dr. 11. NV. Brown and S. B. Robson, of

ducing this dangerous corrupt old party cus- ■

revival of parties, and introducing the most
objectionable corrupt and dangerous custom i
that parties were ever guilty of producing.
Fulton, for the House,because they are Brown
men; and has put them on the Rrown ticket
according to the most odious feature of par
ty custom in its worst days.
Concering these gentlemen’s personal quali
ti cat ions and fitness for the offices to which I
they aspire, we have nothing to say, we otjly
repeat what we said before ; if they allow their
names thus to be used by the Intelligencer in
its endeavors to inaugurate political parties
and revive the most odious features of corrupt
party practices, they are purNer/, i
in this unholy work. That's all.

THE LATE SECRETARY WALKER HIS LACKS
OF ADMINISTRATIVE ABILITY AND FORE
SIGHT SAME FAULTS WITH THE Q. M.
GENERAL AND MEDICAL DEPARTMENT
NOT SO BAD GEN. SMITH AN EXPLOIT
VARIOUS ITEMS OF INTEREST, ETC.
Army of the Potomac, I
Near Fairfax, Sept. 20, 1801. )
The resignation of Mr. Secretary Walker is ■
not regretted in the army. His fidelity, puri- |
ty of character, and general disposition to do
all he could to advance the interests <f the !
country no one questions. His office has not I
been a sinecure. The labor he has undergone
was immense, and his heaUh has been the sa
crifice. It cannot be denied, however, by any
one who has mingled in the army and observ
ed its operations and the workings of the War
office, that the Secretary, with every disposi
tion to do his duty, has not been equal to the
occasion. He does not possess administrative
talent; and without that qualification it were
impossible to discharge the onerous and com
plicated duties of the position. Things would
have been worse than they have been, but for
the experience of President Davis. Besides
the lack of administrative talent, Mr. Walker
did not possess the requisite foresight, I hap
pen to know that he had an opportunity some
months ago to procure several thousand blan
kets, and a supply of small arms; and that
he failed to avail himself of it, because he did
not think they would be needed. At this time
he would pay any price to get them.
This want of forethought runs through other
offices connected with the War Department.
Since the battle of Manassas, the Quartermas
ter General might have procured 5,000 wagons
and teams, if he had made the necessary ef
fort in the States further South. Instead of
doing that, he has confined himself to Virgin
ia, and especially to the counties ccnvenient
to Manassas—the last place he should have
applied to. The wagons and teams here should
have been left for an emergency. Meanwhile,
the farmers would have been able to harvest
their hay and small grain, (both of which are
indispensable to our army,) and to render such
casual assistance in the way of transportation
as the exigencies of the service required. As
it is, all the wagons and teams within reach
have been impressed, and consequently the
forage crop in the immediate vicinity of our
lines, where it is most needed, has been imper
fectly harvested, while our means of transpor
tation is still insufficient.
But if the Quartermaster’s office has been
inefficiently administered, the Medical De
partment has been infinitely worse. I will
not discuss these matters now, however, but
shall claim the privilege of doing so at a fu
ture. day.
It is not yet certainly known in e imp who
will be the successor of Mr Walker. Gen.
Cooper, the Adjutant General of the Confede
rate States, and Gen. Polk, (the Bishop,) are
both named in connection with the office. The
former is one of the best officers in any depart
ment, civil or military, of the public service,
and would make an excellent Secretary of
War. But little is known of Gen. Polk as a
military man. His education, talents and en
ergy, however, commend him to the army,
and it is believed that his appointment would
be received with favor.
It is now hoped and believed that the hitch
at Richmond alluded to in my last letter was
not so serious as at first reported, and that it
will not prevent, though it may retard, those
military movements foreshadowed in former
communications.
G. W. Smith, formerly of the U. S. Army,
has been appointed a General and ordered to
duty on the Potomac. He is a native of Ken
tucky, and was induced some years ago to re
sign his office in the army and take the ap
pointment of Engineer and Street Commis
sioner of the city of New York, at a salary of
$12,000. He is said to be an officer of rare
ability, and stood next to Gen. Sydney John
ston in the estimation of military men.
1 predicted some months ago that the pres
ent war would abound in acts of individual
heroism. One of the most gallant feats yet
I performed, occurred near the Great Falls, on
the Potomac, above Washington, two days
ago. The parties to the affair on the Confede
rate side were six men, including two ‘Tigers,’
belonging to Gen. Walker’s Brigade of Louisi
anians. They had gone up to the Falls on a
visit, and while there discovered twelve of the
enemy cruising about in the river in a bat
teau. They concealed themselves until the
Yankees got near them, when each one selec-
I ted his man and fired. They killed six the
' first fire, and subsequently captured four oth
' ers and wounded another, leaving only one
who escaped to tell the tale.
The Ist Georgia Regulars went to Munson's
’ Hill, day before yesterday, on picket duty.—
' They took their blankets aad five days rations.
The Sth Georgia returned last night from the !
same duty. A few days ago, the enemy’s :
pickets in that vicinity got a piece of stove !
pipe, which they pointed at our pickets as it I
it were a cannon, hoping to give them a scare.
The ruse was a failure, however. But our
men, not to be outdone, also procured a section i
1 of stove pipe, mounted it upon a pair of old
wheels, run it out in full view of the pickets i
’ on the other side, and commenced to swab it :
with great energy: whereupon the Yankees
took to their heels and scampered off over the
hill, after the fashion of regular Bull Runners,
i The Federals are very sore under the name
l of Bull Runners. Last week one ot their pick
! ets called to one of ours, saying to him, ‘-what
are you about there, you d d ragged seecs- ;
! siomst?” The only reply the Confederate
made was to put his hands up to his mouth,
and call out at the top of his voice, “ Bull
; Run 1 Bull Run!” The fellow immediately
j “dried up,” and went about his business.
The days are very warm and the nights very
! cool. Last night I found two blankets and a
, shawl insufficient to keep me warm. The dews
are heavier than in Middle Georgia, and the
! fogs unusually thick. Chills and fevers are
likely to be the consequence. General orders
i were issued yesterday to have fires kept up at
night until tattoo, throughout the camps, and
for a small opening to be cut in ail the tents
j opposite the entrance and near the lop. This
i is the first order I have heard of from Head
quarters that shows the General in command
| ever bestowed a thought upon the health of
j his troops. More of ibis, too, anon.

Camp Davis, Lynchburg, Virginia, (
September 15, 1861. j
i Dear Confederacy: The scene now in the
i various camps is truly lively, exhibiting anx-
I iety cf mind now greatly lessened, and long
looked for hopes realized, for the order to
“raarcA” has come. To-morrow we part from
the different regiments stationed here. Co).
Boyd is ordered to Manassas: Col. McMillan,
and Col Phillips’Legion of Cavalry and Rifles,
and Col. Russell’s Mississippi Regiment are
going to North-Western Virginia. The activity
displayed and the joyful satisfaction manifes
ted by each one at this gooff news, would lead
yon to believe that the boys were going to whip
out Yankeedom by themselves. Shout after
shout echoes and reechoes in these valleys and
on these mountains, and prayers are being of
fered up in the churches to-day for the safety
and well-being of our brave Georgia and Mis
sissippi troops; and many, very many “God
bless yous” will be uttered by the citizens of
Lynchburg when the boys leave, for they have
become warmly attached to all—more for their
gentlemanly bearing than anything else. How
many dark-eyed and blue eyed maidens will
steal away in a corner to hide a falling tear
when he leaves who has pledged a return of
affection, I know not; or how many brave sol
diers have left their hearts in the metropolis
of beauty and affection, deponent saith not;
certain, that many eyes will be dimmed, many
hearts almost broken at a parting so sad I
That God will grant the boys and their sweet
heorts a fine realization of ail their dreams, is
my earnest prayer.
We poor fellows are left to guard the spot so
recently occupied by the others, so it appears ;
for they will al! be gone by next Sunday, and
the prospects are that we will still be here.—
This delay, we presume, is owing to the fact
that our artillery is not yet complete in its ar
mament, lacking some few horses and one rifled
cannon. We are yet in Lopes of having our
Battalion organized as a Regiment; and why
the Governor does not, or will not, send us four
or five companies, is the mystery here. If this
great end could be, by any means, accomplish
ed, we could now be where we would be of ser
vice to our country.
Au amusing incident occurred here on last
evening. Our drum major (by the by, a per
fect type of Maj. Jones in his courtship) rush
ed into camp, yelling at the top of his voice,
“a prisoner captured! a frog-eating French
man has been captured by Colonel Running's
Regiment, and swears that Lynchburg will be
attacked by 20,000 Yankees, and that before
two days.” This astounding intelligence awoke
some of us from our lethargy, and we shook
the bondage of laziness from us “like dew
drops from a lion's mane.” Some believed it
and some did not ; but there was the serious
face of our drummer, with eyes peering at us
from behind the curtains o' Lis tent speaking
volumes of truth. We told him to let them
come, we were prepared for them ; and the en
thusiasm was getting so high that we verily
did believe that we, a few handfuls, could
stand our hands against large odds. We ques
tioned him closely as to where he procured the
information, and after dodging here and there,
evading this question and that, we finally
summed up his evidence to be this: that he
did go to town the night before, and did get up
at reveille this morning; besides, he heard
three officers declare, on oath, that with the
force now in and around Lynchburg wo could
stand our hand against 20.000 Yankees, and
this was all he recollected; for he had sot n a
Frenchman, eat supper with a Frenchman;
and positively, on honor “never touched a
drop, 'pon honor." Our fears, of course, were
relieved, and visions of blood, murder, French
man frogs, alligators, Ac., disturbed our slum
bers.
This is the month for sickness in the State
of Virginia, and hundreds are dying and being
sent off from Manassas and N. W. Virginia
Typhoid Fever is on the increate, and it is
wonderful and Providential that more do not
die. The days are intensely hot, and the nights
are intensely cold for this season ; and blan- |
kets are in demand. Col. Boyd’s sick list num- j
bers over 300 down with measles, mumps, Ac.; !
but no very serious cases o’’ fever —happily |
biing free from typhoid. Over one-half are |
convalescent. The other regiments are doing I
very well. Our Battalion is fl mrishing. Not;
: one death has occurred since its organization
i or one serious casuality ; and I still hold to the
I opinion that the grand and most essential ele- I
ments requisite for health in or out of camps, i
! is pure, fresh air, cleanliness of quarters and I
; person, and pure water, with more confidence
' in nature and good nursing and less in medi- i
| cine.
The Mississippi Regiment, stationed on cur ;
i right, drew arms yesterday, and Major Clay. |
; commandant of this post, declares the outfit ;
; the most complete he has seen in the way of
i arms accoutrements, Ac. I learn, since com- i
; mencing this letter, that Col. Boyd is ordered .
I toleaveon Wednesday next, and report to Gen. ■
Johnston of the Army of the Potomac.
The concert I told you of did come off, end '
\ the success, as usual, was good—a full house I
and an appropriate audience. We have deter- ■
mined to call our club “ The Hill Barnet Second
Edition Club." In Rich meed they have ur-
I ganized another, and so the good work goes
bravely on.
Your paper still continues to arrive regular
lv, and cheers our hearts by its familiar face.
We are all generally satisfied at the proeeed
! ings of the Convention aud the nominatives
mere particularly as reported iu your daily ;
in any event, we hope that Georgians will
make a good Governor. T. D. W.

Messrs. Editors : You wil! please permit me
for the benefit of friends, to make known
through your columns our movements, condi
tion, &c. I prefer doing this to writing the
many letters otherwise necessary.
We will leave here to-day sometime, to join
Gen Joseph E. Johnston’s division in the ar
my of the Potomac. We received orders on
the 11th inst, to prepare for moving the next
day (yesterday.) We were told yesterday
morning that we would leave at BP. M. Our
tents were all down and stacked by 5 P M ,
at which time the news came it was impossi
ble for us to go then. The disappointment
was great, for all had their consent to go, and
were at the height of excitement.
But what strikes heaviest upon us, we can
not take all cur men by a great deal. The
propriety of going now at all was first doubt
ed, because we had nearly 400 men on the
sick list. We have, however, concluded to go
and leave the sick behind. The measles and
mumps are the diseases with which they are
afflicted. As all will wish to know, I wil) give
a list of the names of the Palmetto Guards
we will leave behind :
Serg’t Mobley, H Owen,
W D Bond, G B Grantham,
R R Bond, W B Tatom,
A J Griffith, (at home) C W Stephens,
G B Sparks, J T Stephens,
T A McKerley, T King,
J Renfrow, L F Floyd,
JPK Carlton, E II Bailey,
A Willingham, W M Bullard,.
J McMillon, M Yancey,
J F Leatherwood, B F Wilkerson,
J W Pruett, A B Smith,
G P Herrell, James Hayes,
J V Harden, C W Randal,
B R B Lokey, S H Bourton,
The most of them have just recovered from
an attack of the measles. But for fear of a
relapse, the Surgeons refuse to let them go. If
begging can do any good, perhaps some of
them will yet go. They say that they can
fight as well as- they ever could.
We go, I am told, to take the place of the
“gallant Eighth.” You may know that if it
can be filled, it will be done by Georgia’s 19th.
We are soldiers—every inch of us Southern
soldiers. As we buckle on our armor to meet
the foe, we feel more like men than ever. We
are about to be participators in a contest
upon which the eyes of the whole world are
turned—upon which depends, to a great de
gree, the future destiny of this great Repub
iic. We feel that much depends upon indi
vidual exertion. Stung by a sense of injus
tice, and then animated by such considera
tions, these hearts of ours shall become as
firm aad immovable as the solid hills around
us —these arms as strong as the steel they
bear.
However soon the contest, I believe that
Southern chivalry will bo victorious. Why ?
Because of tiie common, yet significant, an
swer, that our cause is just. Justice is one of
the attributes of God, and the great pillar
which supports His government. As well
might you expect to see one of the great laws
of gravitation changed, which would occasion
a mighty wreck and crash of the universe, as
to see this mighty pillar (justice) of God’s
throne broken, and His government fall. That
poet had not a full conception of the infinite
power of justice, who said :
“ Thrice is he armed whose cause is just.”
the writer of inspiration saw deeper when be
said: “One shall put Zen thousand to flight,”
Ac. But I must not prolong :
Col. Benning's Regiment, of Georgia, left
this morning tor Gen. Johnston’s division.—
Phillip’s Legion will go into Western Virgin
ia to join Gen. Wise, I presume. I must close.
Our flag will soon float to the breeze, our
drums soon beat, and fifes play our advance
The wagons are now here to take our baggage.
We will go to teach the foe that stripes are
mere straws were float the Southern bars;
that the stars of darkness and treason always
set when those of light and liberty arise.
Now, friends, in behalf of the Palmetto
Guards, we bid you farewell. Many of us may
fall before you hear from us again. But know
if we do, that we will fall with our breast to
the foe; and with a last lingering- glance of
affection resting upon the “Bars and Stars”
aud a prayer upon our lipa that they may
■ wave long over a people free, prosperous and
• happy, we will “ look proudly to heaven from
! a death-bed of fame,” aud depart.
Yours truly,
