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 ii.»n m the sisterhood of Htate^ Tie has! armed and equipped her soldiers in such manner as to excite the admiralioji c-i all, and extort praise even of his enemit He 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 | I *xeaidentot the Confederacy,for the“f rompt ; ordial and eileetive co-operation lie has at lorded in his eflort to defend <<ur common ; r wintry from the common enemy.’’ Not j oaly this, lie has looked to the comloit of; your Boldiery alter they had become the wards of another guardian. Not satisfied W th what they were entitled to receive at tie hands ot the Confederate Government, Be has exercised a parental care creditable alike to his statesmanship and his humanity “SHROI^ CEA8BB TO BJfi DaNOJCBuUB WHBW SJJAfiOM YOL. IX. 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; self devotion of the small but undaunted 1 On whatever side I look, then, I see no Commonwealths of Greece? j omen of discouragement, but, on the con- lf over a people 'had apparent cause for !trary, new grounds of assurance, with re despondency, it was the people oi Rome gard to the ultimate and certain triumph of had the advantage cf an open and unre 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.
