COLUMBUS:
Tuesday Morning, July 21, 1883.
Party M«iiU«»Utlaut,
There have recently been twu or three
palpable tnanifoitations of a desire !<> di
vide tb* people of O'*or«i*5nio njitago-
nlatie p«#liUuJ partita. Wu are glad t *
aay, however, tiint the fte.lr.rn put forih
by pplAiciabt. directed P* t..it end. have
L««n but very fifthly seconded. Wc trust
that tf toe divi^on* which they
are m »ro directly and alrungly urged
upon th« people, ‘hey will ravel iwith h
moil withering add signal rebuk**. The
bite in pi at thU time to form domestic
party di.iston*can only 1>* mischievous
uad hurtful; and whoa measures alieady-
adopted and constituting the war policy
vi tbe Con fed orate Administration are
wade the prime cause of such divisions,
they tnuat ojvefrate to the giving of “nid
nad comfort” t•> the enemy. Whatever
may he our opinion* of the constitution
ality nr the expediency of the Conscrip
tion and Tax in Kind Acts it If our duty
to observe and uphold them while they
arel*w ; and ill* evident that any or
ganization of a parly based > o opposition
to them will ut thi# tiino have the effect of
encouraging rebalance to their execution.
We mu."!, in afirno like this, yield indi
vidual opinions and pro for Once* to Um
Judgment of the majority, in casrs in
which an obstinate adherence to our own
notion*and wishes will weaken or om-
barns* Um’nation in it* prosecution of
the great struggle that comprohonds and
ab*orb* nil lesser iifuittf.
One of the ma.nifc#talion* to which wo
refer I* ft rocent appeal by the Con/<d< rote
Cnion, published at Milludgevilic, to the
Democracy of the .Stale to ofo't none hut
friend* of Dot. Drown to the next 1-
latere ot Georgia—- urging them, «*pecial-
ly, to defeat such nntl-Bruwn Whig# »»•
Akin of Bartow, Cabinofsof Monrop, and
L*« of Muscogee. It is singular that the
l’nio,i docs not iiema a single old Demo
cralic opponent of Gov. Drown whom i
wishu* to have defeated, though tn< r<
wero a ndmbor among the promt’-cm
member* of lno last Legislature; and still
inorosingular tlmt it has *o hooii over-]
InoLed the fact that Governor Drown was
elected tor his third term by a* many
Whig «r. Democratic vote*—that ha would
nothjva been re-elected at all, in 1801,
but fora heavy Whig voto and the sup
port of counties largoly Whig, it is a
lather cool proposition to tolerate oppo-
aition to Governor Brown among old
Dmrecmiic legislator*, hut to cull wpm

Vni' ii it them wem many ot them.
The next maiifmtailon of a desire to
draw p«»rtj d. visions is a more aoriou* af
fair if |vin, though it is not yet
so oi’Oitly avowed. We allude to «vi-
dunces (which wo do not care to *pocify

of 40 i-nd 40 yenr* 'Ibis will malorially
reduce the number of citlxensfrdm whom
the 8,000 troop* for local defence will

there arc how nope left to join the or
ganisation* for homo defence, except ex-
cm pi* und those who ha ve employed
substitutes, and tho number of these i»
believed to be wholly inadequate. It ie
clear that many men over do will have
to bo enrolled for lofd defence. But
there I# yet no law, State or Confederate,
to enforce tho enroll moot of toon not lia
ble to militia duty. Will it be -ufa to
rely upon the patriotism of ‘hese men to
come forward voldntarily and make up
the quota for home dofcnce ? A few
d-.ya will determine this question. If
they do not come forward before tbo l#t
of August, it ft ovidtnt thut measure* to
coinppl their enrollment for this hervlco
will Wo necesiiary. One ot our city co-
temporarios ha* already ruggestod a cali-
od sowion of the Legislature to pn** the
law which the otia-ion will probably
demand. It suggest* the enrollment of
all men under fib capable of bearing arm*.
Wo think the bettor limit would he

that all men c.*paldo of doing service
should bo enrolled, rcgardle.-.a of ftge.
But this is a matter for Legislative de
liberation. The primary suggestion of a
call of the Legislature to act upon th*
subject seem* nt present to bo one that
wi l have V« be adopted.
According to the Uuited State* Ccnxu-
for I860, there woro at that time 18,880
white male* in Georgiabotw 'en tho age*
of d0 and fiO. Tho number between 40
and 4fi D BOt given; but wu fnd that the
numhm* for each doc ado after thu period

diminution, end wo therefore conclude
that the majority were botweon 4<* and lo
Allow a liberal margin for increase of
population, the number of white male
between W und fiO In 18*13 fan hardly bo
estimated ut over 22,000—of whom, per*
Imp*, 12,000 urn under und 10,(00 ovor 40.
But from these uumber* must bo deduct
ed some who uro nlready in tho sorvico,
other* who nro exempted by virtuo of
t.helr occupation*, and Olliers still who
arc physically unable to perform the
auties of a soldier. We do not think it
would bo mi reasonable t>* tatiinatu that
wo have now In Georgia not more than
8,000 men belwonn 40 and io who w
conscripted in ptirsuance of tho 1

Kicumoxp, July 17th.—The return of

■ornpUidied without serious moles

brought over safely. The rear guard was
attacked by the enemy's cavalry. Du
ring the melee Gen. Pettigrew was badly
wounded.
At Winchester yesterday it was report
ed tho Yankees were crossing the Potomac
at Shepherdstown, whether in largo or
small numbers was not known. It is sup
pos’d their object is to wat/ h the move
ments of our army in that direction.
Yesterday’s Examiner says the aban
donment of the invasion gives a sense of
relief to the majority of our people. Tne
Potomac is no longer between the army
and its base of supplies.
The Dispatch inukes a similar remark.
The Sentinel consider* the movement
a matter for general gratification, in view
of the swelled condition of the PotoniHC
and tlio constant rain* which h*vo hin

The Whig »ny», politically the move is
a good one, us it take* from Lincoln ail
excuse for conscription. In a military
point of view it i* doubtless no loss good,
since Gen. Lee made it.
These comments convoy the sentiment
of the community in regard to tho move
