“Iff conclusion I take great pleasure in ie
cognizing that the* history of the pnm year
affords the amplest Justification for your n?-
sertion, that il tbe question had boeu, whe
liter the conscription lawwas no-pssary in
order to raise men in Georgia, the answer
must have been In the- negative. A’our no
i»le .State has promptly' responded to t very
• all tiiat it has been my duty to m ike on
iter, and to you, personally, as her Execu
tive, 1 acknowledge my iudeh edness for the
.prompt, cordial and effective co operation
you have afforded me in the eliort to defend
<)iir common country" against the common
enemy.*'—JtjTer&on Davis.
When we reflect that our people have
f»aen engaged in a revolution nnparallelled
m magnitude, unequalled in devastation and
unknown in atrocity -homes desolated and
dea roved- property laid waste and whole
families murdered l»y worse than a savage
foe. When wc remember ftml contrast the
prosperity and happiness our country en
joyed with the depredations and misery
which they have endured, what they lmve
neou and what they are, how deficient in ail
the elements necessary to successful rctH-
lance—how averse to war and zealous of
peace. Wo will search in vain for a resem
blance in history exhibiting the 'fortitude
and the heroism which has characterised
our people trom the iucipieuev to the pre
sent moment ot this momentum struvgle.
The compliment of the Chiel Magistrate^ of
the ronfederato States to tlu> State'of Geor
gia ia enough to animate every sou with
pride to suHtain her in ttie lof.y position she
JiAS won. ami rekindle their determination
to justify the praise she has r.o Itonnrahh re
ceived and so fichly deserveti.
But the President has not only invoked
lie- kind remembrance of every Georgian, in
the meritorious homage ho lias acknowl
edged m the services of her people, but he
has inspired their gratitude for tha Justly re
corded tribute he has paid to Hie Chief i'No-
ciuive who has bo ably sustained her char
acter in this great contest. Jf Governor
Brown had never rendered nuy ot her ser
vices to the State which has k«> profusely
lumoretl iiim, this acknowledgement above,
from one occupying President Davis’s pod _
tlon, would give him a con'-picuous place in’
the Pantheon of history. But 1 desire not to
t»o the eulogist of any one. 1 propose topre
a?nt a lew reflections which suggest them
selves, why the voters of Georgia should j
syiiitinuo their confidence In 11»r* present j
ruief Magistrate of the Slate.
i deprecate any and everything like hos
tility to, or collision between the Conlede
rate and State Executives—it is no time to
iudulge in personalities or animosities ; the
cause demands a prompt cordial, and efi'ee-
tlve cooperation between the people and
ilwt! rulers, and no mau is imbued with the.
spirit CRSenlial to our linal triumph who
harbors opposition to those who have boon
made to assume the responsibility of con
ducting the afi'airs of either tiie Coaled rate
or State Governments. In another month
tiie voters of Georgia wil bo ca bd upon to
soloot a Governor for two years more, and it
Docotncs every freeman to select tiie man!
who will faithfully and ably discharge the |
duties of the oflioe without favor or partial!- j
ry, and will an eye single to the j
iuihlir interest. Governor Brown has alrca- !
t1y held the office six years—how he has dis- !
charged the trust has become a matter of j
history—with what fidelity is almost a pro
verb, and with whar ability every otv re-
i numbers.
Tne low murmur sometimes whispeied
tiiat he has already held the office long
enough, ie undeserving comment and un
worthy retort. It. has not the dignity of ob
jcctiuji, and is beyond the reach of reply —
What, ha? he done. and. how lias he done it,
are questions upon which Up is ready to be
judged, and upon which he must stand or
talk Ho haa, by his indomitable en rov, his
inflexible integrity, and his unsurpassed !
abdity, given to Georgia the proudest posi j

has responded quickly and energetically to ;
t'very call which has been made upon him i
in a way to merit the approbation of the (
whole country. Instead of creating difflcul j
lies, he lias remove*! obstacles which appear- i
ed alnuxst insurmountable. He has maui- j
fea'od a zeal and patriotism which has j
j4aced under obligation, or rather the bo- j
knowledged indebtedness of the illustrious |

ATLANTA, GEO.. SEPTEMBER TO. 1863.
NO. 236.
i here is not a mother in the land who is for a period of seventy odd years; tnat all
not indebted to Gov. Brown for the relief he
has aiforded and the suffering he has mitiga
ted in the camp and in the hospital—duties
outside of and beyond the legitimate tenure
of his office. Besides, he has givoa his at
tention to the wants of those who have !>een
deprived of their protection and support,
and the joy he has imparted, by the suffer
ing ho iiaa relieved, fully attest the benevo
lence of the man and sagacity of the states-
man. Time would fail me were I to attempt
to record hiR virtues or euumeraie his chari
ties. Tiie people me familiar with hia pub
lic acts, and many a gladdened heart rejoices
m was beneficence, in your tiaance-j lie haa
exhibited a wisdom wliiehjfew possess, and
none have more successfully bestowed. In
u time of war, when public agents, quarter:
masters aud commissaries grow rick at the
public expense—when men seem to have
lost all regard tor private virtue And public
honor—when ihe plummet of integrity is
made to vary, and (ho balances ot deceit
supply those of justice, no breath of suspi
cion attaches to hia escutcheon—he stands
firm, inflexible and erect, with every dollar
accounted for in the right way and at the
right time. No statesman in this or any
other age presents a better reoord or is enti
tled to a more • nduring monument. Why,
then, should be not be reelected? The
would-be irienda ot the Confederate Execu
tive, with more zeal -than prudence, with
more devotion than wisdom, more faith than
patriotism, and m. -ru pinna indignation than
honesty, affect to l*elievo that an honest dif
ference o{ opinion «Sn the fconslitutioualitj 7
of t he Conscript Law*, embarrasses the Con
federate Executive and end angers the cause,
it is not necessary to Gov. Brown’s vindica
tion to enter into any discussion touching
the difference between him and President
Davis on the constitutionality of the law in
question. He has made his record, and is
willing to abide iho just judgment of his
constituency when wild war’s alarms are
hushed and peace ensues.
His administration, even under this difi'er-
once of opinion, haa received the honest
acknowledgment of promptness, cordiality,
and effective co-operation in defending our
common country against the common ene
my, from i he very best authority. But those
who pretend to urge this objection to Gov.
Brown, exhibit no solid friendship for the
Confederate Administration they would de
fend, much less for the .-4,1130 they wonid do
anything for, except to tight or to die. From
the manifestations that have lately trans
pired, it seems that the opposition have set
tled upon a gentleman as the competitor of
Governor Brown, whose loyalty up to a late
P-iriod, at least, was questioable, aud whose
silence to the present, to call it by no harsh
er name, is embarrassing. Docs any one
believe that Governor Brown, with his dif
ference of opinion, would embarrass Presi
dent Davis and endanger the causa hall as
much as Mr. Hill, with hia antecedents and
hK painful silence ? Can any one suppose
that an Executive that has given a prompt,
cordial, and effective co-operation to. every
eflort of President’Davis to defend our com
mon country against the common enemy,
ran be improved by being succeeded by one
who has never publicly manifested any in
terest i n the contest. I have no desire to
speak harshly of Mi. Hill personally, or
treat wi h severity his lormer opinions; but
1 honestly appeal to the voters of the State
to look to the effect of honoring him with
even-a complimentary vote—his well-known
antecedents neither entitle him to your con
fidence or your cause to his keeping. But
it is a waste 0! time to argue the question,
aud I have alluded 1o the subject only to
show the extremity of Gov. Brown's oppo
nents and the hollow heartedness ot the
opposition.
We are in a contest, the magnitude of
which i he living feel and the 'dead have vin
dicated. The issue in liberty or death, and
the petty jealousies and worse than petty
aspirations which animate men should re
ceive, as they richly deserve, the condemna
tion of a suffering and heroic people. If
Gov. Brown has proved worthy, inspire bis
future efforts with n unanimous approval.—
It he has been faithless to the trust, seek
some one more deserving his mantle. His
irieuds point you to the record of bis official
life; challenge the strictest investigation,
and seek and desire the closest scrutiny,they
make no appeals to your gratitude, to add
to his honor by the continuance of your con
fidence; they solicit no favors for the ser
vice? he lias rendered, but they place it upon
‘the higher ground of duty to your State and
fidelity to the cause. Away, theD, with
these spasmodic efforts to get up opposition
to a faithful and honest public servant; they
can cause him no injurymor the country any
good. Let U3 rise to the greatness of the
contest, and with one mind and one heart
show to our enemies aud to the world that
we are united, compact and firm in our de-
termiuation to sustain our country, in sup
porting our rulers honestly and sincerely;
that with them we make and uphold a com
mon cause, and with them we are ready and
willing In share a common destiny.

LETTER FROM MR RIVER*
We are permitted to make public the fol
lowing letter from Mr. Rives to a well
known gentleman of Lynchburg. It ia as
encouraging in its opinions and in Its his
torical citations, as it is elegant in style and
aide and patriotic in sentiment. Its ap
pearance, too, is fortunately timed, and it
cannot Ik* without the happiest effect on the
public mind. It would u.? well 11 a eepy
it should fall under tUe eye of every citizen
of tha < 'onfederate States, and. we are sure
that our cotemporaries ot the press will
gladly aid in giving it Ilyr widest circula
tion.
>1 v Du ah Sir: 1 learn from yon with
great, regret ihat some of om fellow-citi-
/ens an' a good deal discouraged by recent
events in our military operations, while you
yourself, 1 am glad to see, retain your ac
customed erectnesa aad buoyancy of spirit.
Are we not. in some degree, the *poikdcJiil-
dn n of that marvelous good fortune, which,
ov the gracious providence of God, has, for
the most part, attended ns sines the com
mencement pf this gigantic conflict V And
have notour very successes, long continued
r.rf they have been, unstrung our minds tor
the discipline of these occasional reverses,
which none can hope to esrjpe amid the in-
exhorable vicissitude? of war :
When we recollect, not merely the dispar
ity ot numbers and material wealth between
ui and our adversaries, but that they were
in p ^session of the whole army and navy
of the United States, the creation andjoint
effort ot contribution
with them ; and that at the same time they ; whon Hannibal, with his Carthaginian host,
t '“ 1 41 *—*— ~ r after three successive victoi ies on the Ticmo,
the Brescia, and Thrasymene, in his trium
phal march towards, the Capital, almost an
nihilated the Roman army in a fourth at
Canuro. leaving forty thousand Romans dead
on tiie field, including one of the Coni-uls in
command, many Senators, Protore, Gxdiles,
and others of the highest rank. But amid the
consternation of so terrible a calamity, the
spirit of the Republic never blanched When
the surviving Consul, whose rashness had
been the cause of the disaster, appn ached
Rune, withe wreck of his army, the 8enaie
and all ranks ol the people went out to meet
mm and thanked him for not having de
spaired ot the Commonwealth. And xn *he
ead it was not Rt»me, but Carthage that per
ished in the conflict.
So. too, when we come down to modern
history. Is it possible to conceive a struggle
more unequal in numbers and material re
sources than that between the insurgent
Netherlands, and the whole power-of the
Spanish Monarchy in its meridian of splen
dor, when in addition to the resources ot its
large dominions, it wielded the riches.ot
Americ a and the Indies. And yet, by the
peresevorance of the inhabitants, and in
spite oi every disaster, which tried to the ut
termost the heroic stuff of which they were
made, leaving them no other resource than
by cutting their dykes to call in the- aid of
tne ocean, they redeemed their native land
from a despotism more ferocious than the
sea, established and constituted a common
wealth which for two hundred years, held a
first place among tha 1 owers ot Europe.
If we wish further to see what a spirit of
national independence can accomplish, loqk
at the same people u,nder Wifnam III of
Orange, bidding defiance to Louis XIV ot
France, and Charles It, ot England united;
look at Prussia, under Frederick If, in the
Seven Years' War, successfully contending
against Austria* France, Germany, Sweden,
and Russia, all banded together in the inva
sion of her territory; look again at the mira
cles ot valor, accomplished by revolutionary
France, in vindication of the right-of na
tional self-government, against a second
combination of all Europe, both insular and
continental.
What any of these people accomplished,
we are capable of accomplishing* We have
the same love of liberty; we have the same
devotion to ournnative land; we have the
same martial ardor; we have the same, aud
even greater, motives to exert every faculty
for our deliverance. With the most of them,
the great mistake involved was national in
dependence and polit.eal rights. With us,
in addition to all this, everything precious
to the human affections every thing sacreicU 1
to the human heart, is at issue. From th^
ruthless spirit in which this war has been
waged by our adversaries; from the speci
mens we have had of tbeir infamous pro-
:?3nsnlar governments in parts of our terri-
tory occupied by them; irora the appeals
they are now making to the vindictive and
brutal paosions of an uncivilized race as
their allies in this unholy crusade against
us, it is impossible fbr the imagination to
picture a fate more horrible than ours would
be, if we were once subjected to their pow
er. T know no language which, in that
case, could adequately paint the depth of
our degradation and tne extent of oar
wretchedness, unless It be those burning
lines of an English poet, in which he gave
vent to his feelings of horror and indigna
tion, when deprecating the iron rule of a
vulgar and hypocritical tyranny in his «>wn
land;

stricted intercourse with the rest of the
world to supply any deficiency which might
exist in their resources; while, at the com
mencement of the war, we had not a ship
or a soldier, were without the munitions of
war, or any existing establishment for fiur-
nishincr them, even to percussion caps, and
cut oif from all foreign supplies by the
blockade of our whole coast—the extent
and magnitude of what we have accom
plished ought to be a matter of grateful as
tonishment to ourselves, as it is of special
wonder to the other nations 0! the earih.
With all these odds against us, what a long
and dazzling roll of victories have we fur
nished for the per. oi the future historian
of the war!
Virginia, embracing the sent of Govern
ment of the Confederacy, has been the se
lected object against which the most iormid-
able and imposing enterprises oi' the. enemy
have been directed. How “lame and impo
tent” the conclusion cf al l these vaunted-ex:-
peditions, so often and so pompously gotten
up, for the capture of Richmond, and the
subjugation oi Virginia, let Bethel, Manas
sas, I/eesburg, in the first year ot the war—
the plains of Williamsburg, the bloody pan
orama of battle fields around the beleaguer
ed! Capital, the blaze of successive t^ciories
which Jackson lighted up the Valley of the
Shenandoah from Harper’s Ferry to Port
Republic, Cedar Mountain, Manassas again,
the closing and ovenvhelming.difcomfiture
at Fredericisburg in the second year of the
war, and tne grand route, after four
continuous conflict, of Chancellorsvilie and
Marye’s Heignts, in the present year, fbllow
ed by tho enemy’s third expulsion lrom the
Valley—let these memorable, fields, with
solemn and truthful voices, tell.
During this period, too,, the army of
Northern Virginia, under its illustrious lea
der, made two bold and successful incur
sion? into the enemy’s territory; levied con
tributions upon if, gave battle to his concen-
traied legions on his own soil, crippling and
inflicting heavy losses upon him ; and then
returned at leisure to resume Its attitude of
calm defiance and proud* invincibility at
home. 8uch is a general outline of the his
tory oi the w r ar on the Atlantic side of the
Confederacy. Outskirts and fragmentary
territory have, in some instances, been tem
porarily and reluctantly abandoned to the
enemy, as not justifying the attempt to de
fend them at tne risk of the central aud
more important portions, but in no case has
the heart or grand interior of the territory
been yet penetrated.
In the Valley of the Mississippi the course
of events has been more chequered by al
ternate good and bad fortune. Springfield,
Columbus, Shiloh, and even Murfreesboro,
were noble successes for 113. Fort Donel
son, Corinth,'New Orleans, recall the re
membrance of sad disasters; and to these
has been recently added the loss ol Vicks
burg and Port Hudson. 1 have no dispo
sition to extenuate the gravity ol' any of
theae disasters. But looking at them in their
very worst aspect, t here is nothing in any
or all of them to givq rise to a feeling of de
spondency. The enemy is as far as ever
from the great object he had in view—the
free and unmolested navigation ot the Mis
sissippi for commercial purposes, its banks
are still accessible for hundreds of miles
within onr territory to our sharpshooters
and moveable batteries, that can and will
prevent the use of the river by trading ves
sels, and effectually ir.terd^ i it to all prac
tical commerce. The inhabitants of the
country are more roused tfian ever by the
outrages of the enemy; and redoubled ef
forts will be made to render his local suc
cesses bootless to him. We have two pow
erful and noble armies under Johnston and
Bragg on the Eastern side of the river, which
are strengthened daily both by the Confed
erate conscription and by the zealous co
operation of. the adjacent State Govern
ments ; whi[e on the western side of the
river are the enterprising ‘an indomitable
commands of Price, of Kirby Smith, of Tay
lor, and of Magruder, to strike wherever the
enemy may present himself.
When this situation is compared with the
many unavoidable reverses and endles diffi
culties which our brave ancestors had to en
counter, end 90 gloriously surmounted, in
their struggle for independence, who does
not feel his spirit rebuked at the slightest
thought of discouragement under our pres
ent circumstances? " Recollect the condition
of Washington in the second year of the
war of the revolution, when, after success
ive and severe disasters on Long Island, at
New York, at White Plains, and thevloss of
Fort Washington, on the Hudson, with its
garrison, he was compelled to retreat through
tne Jerseys, “pushed.” to use ftisown ex
pressive language, “from place to place, till
we were obliged to cross the Delaware with
less than three thousand men fiLrfbr duty,”
and the reluctant confessions was'Tsftoned
from his firm and manly breast that unless
14 a new army can be speedily recruited, the
game Ia pretty nearly up ’’- even in this ex
tremity there was no despondency, iio dis
eouragemenk The pressure and magnitude
oj the dangers only supplied new energies
ot action, and stimulated to redoubled e xer
tion, and in a few days the brilliant achieve
ments of Trenton and Princeton redressed
balance of victorv.
In every period of the revolutionary con
test a large portion of our territory was
overrun and occupied by tie enemy, la
the South, Greene was compelled to retire
before Cornwallis, as Washington bad done
before the Howes in the North Georgia,
South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia,
each and all of them, East of the Blue
Mountains, were overrun for a time by the
armies of the enemy, while all the chief i
cities in ihe North and in the South—Bos- j
ton, Newport New York, Philadelphia, |
Richmond, Norfolk, Wilmington, Charles- j
ton and Savannah—were all ior a longer or
shorter period in his possession. But if the
country was overrun, the hearts of the peo
ple were not overawed. With them and
their trusted servant?, whether in the coun
cil or in the field, there was no despair of
the republic. They felt a? Washington,
when most oppressed by the complicated
difficulties of his heart, in writing to bis
brother: “ Under a full persuasion of the
justice of our cause, I cannot entertain an
idea that it will finally sink, though ir may
remain for a lime under a cloud.”
the great cause in which we arc embarked.
We may have occasional reverses in the lu-
lure, as we have had them in the past,—-
These are often salutary trials of our con
stancy and faith, and uecalul admonitions
to increased vigilance and exertion. Even
heroic Charleston, for whose fate every bos
om is now yearning with anxiety, may fall
under the extraordinary means concentra
ted for her destruction. But if she does, it
will be In a blaze of glory that will irradi
ate the remotest corner ot the Confederacy,
and fight the way to retributive victories
elsewhere, while ?ne herself will be dtstin-
ed to rise again with increased splendor
trom her ashes. The capture oT Athens by
the Per.-ians usheaad in the glorious dayfc
ot Salamis and Piataes. and when re-occu
pied, streugtin-ned and adorned by the pious
hands ot her children, she was more than
ever the eijvy and admiration of the world.
No local or occasional disaster can check
the onward progress of a great cause, bles
sed with tho approving smiles of Heaven,
and sustained by 3tout. hearts with unceas
ing vigilance and unfaltering faith.
I remain.

An" Ufl-Al.i:,
lu tbe foregoing remarks, it Las been as
sttmed that tiie enemy’s forces were, in
number, much greater than ours. This has,
undoubtedly, heretofore been the fact. Bat
1 am firmly persuaded that, notwithstanding
the immense difference in the actual popu-1
lation of the two countries, we shall hence !
forward have an army in the field at ail j
times fully equal in number to theirs ; and j
that, surely, ia all we need desire. The en- j
ergies of the South are just beginning to be j
thoroughly aroused. W e already see a pro ;
position in the Legislature of Alabama to ■
extend the limits ol the military age below j
eighteen years to sixteen, and above forty- I
five to sixty. This was the old Spartan rule,)
and prevailed a long tiqie in England, until |
the institution of standing armies, and her j
insular situation, made her careless with re- ■
gard to the militaiy organization of tk f ‘ i ,he °,-h Oisnirt ic iii
mass of her population. But our circura j
stances may well justify a recurrence to the |
ancient rule, so tar, at least, as to call out j
the supplementary classes for local defence, j
The spirit of the people, there can be no |
doubt, would nobly, respond to such a call, i
while tho demands of the f risis, appealing
