IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE—AN EXPO SURE. We earnestly invite the attention ol the peo ple of Georgia to the correspondence which we publish to-day in another column, head ed as above, between A. G. Mcrbat, of Griffin, in this State, late Editor of a paper iu that city, which was suppressed by its pa triotic citizens for the utterance of disloyal sentiments, andCoL. Jambs M. Smith, now in command of the gallant “Thirteenth Ga. Regiment, which, under the immortal Jack son and General Lee, has won in many a hard-fought battle, enduring renown This correspondence discloses to the peo ple two important facte: First, that there is a eecret organization in the State ready to ■propose peace to the North, “being tired of the war” ; and, second, that the meeting held at Jonesboro’ was designed to be that sort of a “conservative” move, which, from what was ■publicly made known of it, toofc a different direction, the secret movement of the “conser vatives” attending it not having yet been communicated to the press, and, ra all prob ability, never will be by them This exposure, as embraced in the corres- jwndence referred to, ought to mantle the cheeks of the arch c&nspwators concerned in it with shame at the knowledge that it will reach the people’s ears. Men who have never yet struck a blow in defence of the rights of the South during the war; men who have never smelt gunpowder^Bince the war begun; men who, like the writer of the audacious letter to-Col. Smith, have been at their homes since the war opened, enjoying all the ease and comforts thereof, while the blood of our bravo soldiers lias been spilled upon every battle Held to defend their lives and their property; these are the men to talk about being “tired of the war," and to initiate trea son which can be snuffed in every line they write, aud as far as the eye can trace their whereabouts. Such men to propose peace to the Lincoln Government! Verily it will prove a peace more intolerable than the most ferocious war which the Lincoln Gov ernment will make ! When the committee from Kentucky recently waited upon the miserable autocrat, Lincoln, to learn his ulti mate purposes, our neighbors of the A r ppeal say, “The Gorilla took time to make up his answer, aud at the end of 24 hoars replied that the war was now to be waged for the abolishment of sla very, and to make the prop erty oi the South pay the expenses; that eman cipation and confiscation would be his watch words, nnd short of this accomplishment, his armies would not stop." Who talks ot proposing peace alter this, must be recreant to the South! The New York “Caucasian too, boldly proclaims what Lincoln’s policy is, and will bo, towards the South. Let the reader pe ruse tlio following from that paper, and then judge for himself what estimate shall bo placed upon those men, who, like the re creant Murray, are conspiring to reduce the South to degradation and slavery. “We know very well what the policy of the administration will be towards every State so soon as it falls into their power.— Missouri, Maryland and Louisiana are vivid examples of their hate, cupidity, injustice and tyranny. First, the people will be dis armed , and then, when helpless, their pro perty will be seized and confiscated, and their homes, lands and ancestral acres turn ed over to the rapacious Yankee speculator. Their organs of public opinions will be sup pressed; their tribunals of justice over thrown; their State laws set aside, and their State Constitution ignored. In place of all these, sits one Supreme Semi-Military Judge like Peabody in New Orleans, appointed at Washington, who, under the mockery of the forms of justice, simply registers the edicts of the vile Abolition cabal at the cap ital. The whole theory of self-government is overthrown at a single blow. The right ot the free expression of opinion, which every American claimed as inalienn.hiA is THE DRAFTED MEN- gySee the order of CoL Reed in our ad vertising columns, and govern yourselves accordingly. _ EAST TENNESSEE We differ materially from our neighbor of the Appeal, that “the loss ot East Ten nessee would be the death blow to the Con federacy.” . , .... While acknowledging that the loss of this important section of our country would be severely felt, we see no reason why itakould be the “death blow.” The loss of East Ten nessee could never change the result of this war. If our people are stilf determined to be true to their country and to the cause of freedom—although we may have to suffer hardships unparalleled in the annals of war —so long as a single county remains in our possession, so long will we be hopeful; and not until the last band of patriots is crushed, and our leaders lie in the graves of martyrs, will we relinquish all hope for Southern In dependence. But such a result, after more than two years of bloody war, we can never for a mo ment dream of. And, trusting in the aid of Almighty God, though East Tennessee be lost and three quarters of the Confederacy be covered with the graves of her defend ers, we will never despair of the final suc cess of the sacred cause in which we are engaged. . THE CONREDERATE SOCIETY. We publish in another column the ad dress ot the “Confederate Society,” ot En terprise, Mi8s.,to the people of the Confed erate States, and request the attention of our business men to it. The gentlemen signing the address are pledged to do just as is set torlh in it. Cannot some of our business men in At lanta be fonnd patriotic enough to do the same thing? -very American claimed as inalienable, is tyrannically subverted, and the privileges we claim for ourselves inhumanly and wick edly denied to others.” Commenting upon the foregoing, the Au gusta Chronicle <£ Sentinel says: 4 How do you like peace, Messrs. Submissioniats and Croakers, on these terms ? Perhaps you may be willing to accept peace on any condi tions, but you will find the patriots of the South are not.” So say we. A PATRIOTIC LETTER. In another column oar readers will see a letter addressed to us by the Hon. John W. Lewis, which breathes the spirit of patriot ism and benevolence. Of one in ancient times it was said, “he was the noblestRom&n of them all,” and of this gentleman we will say that if there be one within the bounda ries of our State more eminently devoted to the cause of Southern Independence, than he, we know him not. Declining to be a candidate for Congress, we take the liberty of suggesting to the good people of his county, on account of liis practical ability, o make the effort to induce him to consent to serve them in the next General Assembly as one of their representatives In that body ho could do the State valuable service. We call attention to the patriotic communication of Cor.. A. M. Wallace, which appears in another column of this paper. No man could better serve this county in the Legislature of our State, but with all our partiality for him, personally, and his character as a patriot, we are con strained to y ield that in declining to become a candidate, he illustrates the true Southern man in these trying times of war, his pref erence being the post of danger, and not civil station. Correspondence of the Atlanta Int jiligtaec?. ARMY CORRESPONDENCE. 7 he shelling of Charleston—General exodus of the people—Present aspect of Charleston. A quiet day—Latest proceedings—A night without shelling, &c., &c. Mills House, Charleston, 8. C., ) Monday, Aug. 24, Midnight. )' I have nothing to add to my report of the Shelling of Charleston this morning, which closed at 2 A. M. The distress and terror among the poor families of the city was very great, and, indeed, the dismay gener ally was increased, from the fact that the shelling was as unexpected as on the first' night, it having been generally understood that we were to have until 11 o’clock to night for non-combatants to leave, instead of last night. No one required further no tice, after the terrible fright of last night, and this morning a general stampede took place, all the ladies who could leave having departed on the trains this evening, while every place of resort, 50 miles from town, has been largely sought after, and applica tions for quarters, by telegraph, made in every direction. To day a large number of families were moving from that portioe of the city within the range of the enemy’s shells, to safer points near the outskirts.— There are hundreds of poor families who have not the means of leaving the city, and who will have to be removed beyond our lines of city defences. Charleston is fast assuming the appear ance of a beleaguered city, and as the sun went down this evening, the city seemed to bear a more sad and desolate appearance \han it has yet presented. What few stores were open in the city are now mostly clo sed, many having moved off their goods. The few shops open are principally owned by foreigners or low Jews, who care but little for the fate of the city, and who would be jurt as willing to make friends with the Yanks, if they should ever reach here. But few people are seen on the streets, which wear the stillness of a Sabbath day, All transient persons have left, and the hotels are nearly deserted. The array of beauti ful and elegantly dressed ladies who were wont to promenade the City Battery; the dashing equipages and liveried turnouts, containing fair forms, enjoying with luxu rious ease soft cushions and the sea breeze, as they rolled along the fashionable drive around the battery; have all departed, leav ing loneliness and sadness behind them. There is no “Sunny Side” to the picture here, which your city contains, and which would be such a delightful relief to this gloomy city by the sea side. The Charlestonians are determined to re sist the enemy to the last, and before Char leston falls, it will become another Monte- rey, and the battle be fought from street to street, and from housetop to housetop. The enemy has been unusually quiet to day, the firing from his batteries having been very slow, and principally directed on Sumter and Wagner. Our batteries on James Island, Cheves, Haskin’s, and Simkins, have been- chiefly engaged shelling the enemy’s works on Morris Island. Strong breezes from the Southeast have kicked up a heavy sea, and consequently, none of the enemy’s fleet were engaged to-day, not even the Ironsides, giv ing Wagner a* shot. Adjutant H. C. Boyl- ston andfLieut. E. S. Fickling, of the 1st 8. C. Artillery, belonging to the garrison ot Sumter, were botli wounded yesterday, the former seriously, and the latter slightly. It is expected that the enemy will open on the city again in the course of an hour, though a heavy rain has set in since 10 A. M., which may prevent him. At all events, people are kept in dread anticipation fearing to retire until assured that they will not be awakened by another howling serenade—a most charming state of affairs, you will ad mit. Just think of having a 200-pound shell lodge nlong side of you as a bed-fel low 1 Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2 A. M. The rain lias continued up to this time, and the enemy has not yet told us “good morning,” so I coiclude that he intends to slight us on this occasion—at all events, I shall wait no longer for his salutation, and recklessly throw myself into the arms of Morpheus. 290- PATRIOTIC LETTER FROM THE HON. J. W LEWIS. Cabterbville, Ga., Aug. 24,1863. Editors Intelligencer: I authorize the Mayor of the City of Charleston to draw on me for one thousand dollars, to be expended either in the pur chase of refreshments for the noble soldiers now fighting in our defence, or if uot thus seeded, then to go to the relief of the poor and.suffering of the city. I authorize, and respectfully request of the Governor of Georgia to draw on me for one thousand dollars to be expended in the pur chase of salt for the wives aiid ^widows of Georgia soldiers, and hopefuTff* trust that others will do likewise, by thousands. As to myself, I feel that, to a certain extent, I belong to my country, yet I respectfully de cline the invitation of many friends to be a candidadate for Congress from this district; at the same time, though, feeling grateful for this manifestation of their confidence in me. I believe that I am at present in the proper position to do most good for the country; and now, having very briefly disposed of these matters, I ask some space in your col umns to treat upon a subject of vital inter est to the whole country at the present pe riod, to-wit: the embarrassed condition of our finances, and what in my best judgment, is the proper remedy. And in tne first place, I remark that, iu a great and sudden revolution, such as we are now involved in, thinking men would not only calculate certainly upon financial derangement, but also derangement and suffering in every department and position in life. All things considered, with the bles sing of God, we have sustained ourselves be yond all precedent in the history of the world; and if true to ourselves and to our cause, we shall recover-from our recent re verses, and when done with gunboat fight ing, and the enemy gets spread out into - our country, in the woik of devastation, the tide of our affairs will change, and many of our foes will get a possessory title much less to be desired than a confiscatory one, to a por tion of our soil, three by six feet or less. The truth is, they have no right, no just causo to invade us, and we shall whip out this terri ble fight if we can but get rid of those among us who have been whipped all the time, without ever having fired themselves a sin gle gun. But to my subject. The States, in their State character, sepa rate, and alone, can bring back our money matters to a healthy condition; and after long thinking, and as close thinking as have been capable of doing, I am satisfied that the States only can do it. Congress has already voted the entire credit of the States in their confederated character, and any fur ther vote in that direction will but add ad dttional depression to its credit. The Con federate circulation must be reduced, and greatly reduced; this can only be don|j by the States, and done in this way: The Legis latures of the States, each for themselves can loan their credit to the Confederate Government by the issue of its bonds, bear ing a low rate of interest, and sold for Con federate notes—the State governments to loan these notes to the Confederate Govern ment, taking in place thereof Confederate Bonds bearing a low rate of interest. Titus we can relive ourselves. To show.the differ ence between State and Confederate credit it is only necessary to look at the market value of State and Confederate securities. I have thus stated tlie text of our financial relief, and will promise to elaborate it in its details, if any way desired by the public, ei ther in writing or speaking, as far as I may be able. The truth is, we must nave money, and for myself, I am willing to be taxed one tenth—one-fifth—one-half—all! yes, all, if necessary to gain our independence. Respectfully, JOHN W. LEWIS. g^THon. John Forsyth, editor of the Mo bile Advertiser and Register, writing to his paper from Montgomery, speaks of the Leg islature of his State now sitting in session, in the following manner : In answer to the insinuations and suspi cions as to the want oi soundness in the Leg islature, the country will receive the com mentary of its actions. It will leave no meas ure untried, within the scope of its authority, to sustain the war oi independence, aad to give vigor and win success in Its prosecu tion. it will draw the sword against extor tioners, and the depredators upon the na tional currency; it will legislate to succor the families of soldiers; to aid in the arrest of deserters, and bring them back to the ranks and colors they have so disgracefully deserted; and it will pass a military bill which will amount to a levy en masse of the fighting force of the State for home defence, Does any man demand better pledges of loy alty and devotion than these? Can the sol diers in the armj T ask more than that, eveiy man capable of bearing arms in the State should be put under military law for the de fence of their homes and their iamilies, while they are fighting our battles aid winning oi t State laurels on distant fields? I write with pleasure on this theme. It makes me proud ol the State and the people, and it holds up to my longing eyes .a beacon of hope, en couragement, victory and independence.— My motto is, that besides the will of Heaven, there is but one thing that conquers a peo pie like ours: and that is their own apathy or cowardice. It is easy enough to be whip ped, if we fold our arms, bend our backs to the lash and our necks to the yoke. The Pu ritan, of all others, is *he task master, who will take most delight in laying on the stripes. If with a quarter of a million of brave soldiers with arms in their bands,and a reserve of fighting men of twice the num bers, we yield to the degradation. History will write us down a degenerate people,born for servitude and unfit to be free. But I have faith that the pen is not fledged to in dite that bitter historic page. I see now, in the temper of these representatives fresh from the suffrages of the people, the signs and pledges of recovery from a passing and enervating despondency, and a revival of the war spirit with which to begin the com ing foil campaign. If we are united, and in earnest, “we are invincible to any force the enemy can bring to bear against us.” J. F. THE DRAFT. The list below has been drawn to fill the quota of drafted men for this county: 2o the Editor of tite Atlanta Intelligencer In your special notice column I am called on by “ Fulton ” to become a candidate for the Legislature. I certainly feel thankful to Fulton for the kind and complimentary tone of the call. Such endorsements are pecu liarly flattering, when they come unsought and unexpected, as this has done. I beg leave, however, to respectfully de cline any and all connexion with civil and political offices, preferring that such posi tions should b3 conferred on those perma nently disabled, or who, by reason of age are unfit for more important service. On the 12th day of. February, 1861,1 en listed for the war, and for twenty-fife months was constantly in active service. God has most mercifully spared me in life and limb, and while thousands have been made to mourn for their loved and gallant dead, my two young sons, (one of whom has seen much hard service,) have been spared.— Besides, I am only forty-three years of age, and still able to work in the good cause.— Under these circumstances, it would be do ing violence to a good conscience to permit any temptation to swerve me from assisting our struggling, war-worn brethren in the field. Allow me space to say a few words to the people touching these civil elections. Let no. party rancor enter into them. Select good and true men to represent you in the State and Confederate councils. Where it is possible, elect men of honest hearts and clear heads, who have by the fortunes of war become unfitted for service in the field Yote for no man who has staid at home and made money out of the necessities of your families. Sustain our honored President and patriotic Governor, each in his proper sphere, in all their efforts for our indepen dence. Believe no tales as to the incapacity or disloyalty of our leaders. Dont despond in adversity, or think we are subjugated when a city or fortress is taken. Pay your taxes cheerfully, and pray to God fervently for our deliverance. Above ail, kick out of your presence and out of the country, all croakers and disloyal persons who plct trea son by undermining public confidence in our holy cause. Do this, and in dne time the day-dawn of deliverance from a fate at which humanity shudders, will break upon our be reaved people, and compensate them for all past sufferings.
