FOR GOVERNOR:
JOSEPH E. BROWN, c
THE POSITION IN FE0NT-
The position of affairs in front is assum-
ing a most grave and serious aspect. From
the close proximity of the two armies, a bat
tle is iminent—a battle which must prove in
its results the most glorious or the most dis
astrous which our Confederacy has yet met
with.
Roseeran : , with a boldness never betore
attempted by any Yankee General, has cross
ed a heavy column ot infantry across the
Tennessee at Bridgeport, and turning the
chain of mountains by Will’s Valley .between
Lookout and Racoon mountain?, is march
ing on Georgia in the direction of Rome.—
In the meantime, Gen. Bragg’s army is on
the move also, he having anticipated Rosy’s
movement and sent a division in advance of
him, through Will’s Valley, thus flanking
and checking his right wing, while all our
forces are concentrating in that direction,
the enemy being Between our forces and the
Tennesse river, while a corps of our army
was previously on its march to Rome, in
Broomtown Valley, in the vicinity of La-
Fayettc, Walker county, Ga., which is 38
miles north of Rome.
KGen. Buckner, who commands our right
wing, has gradually fallen back from Char
leston and Cleveland, as our‘special dis
patches from “200” inform us, in order to
be within striking distance,Jaud.to concen
trate with Gen. Bragg, thus abandoning
temporarily all of East Tennessee. Col.
Scott’s brigade of cavalry fell back 1o Cleve
land yesterday morning, according to pro
gramme, after burning the bridge over the
Hiwassee at Charleston. All the stores
were safely removed from Charleston to
Dalton.
. The enemy, to conceal the movement of
liia right wing,' has kept up a demonstration
in front of Chattanooga, and unmasked
some batteries, which opened last Monday
on the town, which was shelled with great
er severity than at any time previous. Da
ring Monday afternoon heavy firing was
heard m the direction of Little Wills Valley,
which it was said originated from an en-.
gagement with the enemy by Wheeler’s cav
alry supported by Gen. Cleburn’s division.
That night, Gen. Bragg having completed
his arrangements, evacuated Chattanooga,
pushing his army by tw T o routes towards
Rome. It is anticipator that a battle will
be commenced to-day.
Col. Campbell Wallace, President of the
E. Ten. & Ga. Railroad, through his indom
itable und indefatigable exertions, has re
moved safely to Dalton all the machinery
and rolling stock of the road, not having
lost even a screw—the locomotive and four
Tfld cars, captured by the enemy at Knox
ville, belonged to the E. Ten. & Va. Road.
He arrived in this city this morning, to ob
tain the aid of the Georgia State Road to
assist him in removing his stock from Dal
ton, and it is to’be hoped he will meet with
that generous success, which his exertions
deserve.
it is not to be concluded that great alarm
and agitation exists in the surrounding
country by our late military movements
and the near approach of the Yankees. But
our people must understand that the with
drawal of our military stores and machine
ry from Knoxville and other points in East
Tennessee is but a precautionary measure.
The strategical movements of our army are
of course a mystery to all outsiders as they
most properly should be, but we have au
abiding faith and confidence in the present
operations of Gen. Bragg, and have the
strongest assurances that we must be victo
rious in the outcome.
There is no danger to be apprehended on
7 he line of our right wing, though many
persons are moving from sections of E. Ten
nessee to, Georgia, for fear of the enemy’s
raids.
There are a thousand reports and rumors
afloat, entitled to no confidence. The best
advice we can give to our people, is to keep
up a stout heart, be full of hope, and trust
to Providence, while they must rely on their
own stout arms and keep their powder dry.
ces, undertake to answer,
without any equivocation.
The first consequence of subj ugation, as
distinctly stated in Mr. Whiting’s letter, is
the total abolition of all State lines, and the
reduction of the whole extent oi country
embraced in the seceded States, to a territo
rial condition, subject afterwards, to be ad
mitted into the Union with such boundaries
as the Northern States may designate, and
such constitutions as may be acceptable to
the Northern Congress, repentance and
atonement having been first satisfactorily
rendered for the crime of rebellion. Says
Mr. Whiting in his letter, “ So far as this
Government (United States) is concerned,
civil war obliterates all lines of States or
countries; the only lines recognized by war
are the lines which separate us from a pub
lic enemy.” And again, this functionary of
the United States Government, holds this
strong language: “If you concede State
Rights to your enemies, wliat security can
you have that traitors will not pass State
laws which will vender the position of^the
blacks intolerable, or reduce them all to
slavery V”
This brings us to the second scene ot the
bloody drama, as proposed by Mr. Whiting,
that is to be enacted in case the seceded
States are subjugated, or are ad mi; ted back
into the Union on their own application for
reconstruction. The sine qua non of recon
struction on either of the above conditions
is the emancipation of all the blacks through
out all the Southern States. On this point
Mr. Whiting is urgent. lie reminds the so
ciety to which he was writing that llie gov
ernment of the United States, “in the war
measures sanctioned by the President, to
which he has more than once pledged his
sacred honor, and which Congress has c-n
forced by solemn laws, is the liberation of
slaves.” He then urges that to fail to ac
complish this end thoroughly and effectually
woind be to break the nation’s faith with
Europe, and with colored citizens and slaves
in' the Union—a depth of unfathomable in
famy from which he earnestly hopes they
may be saved, despite whatever disasteis
may befall their arms, or humiliation be in
store for them.
As for Gen. Hovey, who claims to repre
sent the sentiments of nine-tenths of the
army, his proposition forms the third and
closing scene, the finale of our subjugation.
It Is the partition of our lands among the
Northern soldiers. We will let' hi a speak
for himself, for his language is as explicit
and unambiguous as it is possible for us to
employ:
“A word iu regard to the properly of rebels.
In ray opinion they have forfeited all, and
their wealth should be soused as to prevent
a repetition of their crime. Their personal
property should be used in defraying the ex
penses of the revolution. Their slaves must
be releas^HBfd liberated, and their lands, as
fai as prl^TOable, divided among out^ol-
diors who have nobly sustained the Go^rn-
ment in the hour of its sorest trial.”
These three propositions then, namely,
the obliteration of all State lines and the
reduction of the whole country of the se
ceded States to the territorial condition;
the em mcipation of all the slaves, and the
partition of the lands of the South among
the soldiers as rewards for their services,
fill up the entire programme, which, to use
a figure of speech, has been published and
placed in the hands of every soldier now
fighting in the Northern army.
This, they will., have a light to expect,
would be faithfully carried out by the North
ern Government in the event of the subj uga
tion of the South, and even if Lincoln and
Seward had the disposition to depart in the
least iota from it, of which they have never
given us the slightest reason to suppose,
than that army, already consolidated and
thoroughly infused with those grand ideas
which have served as their beacon in all
their mad schemes of invasion, would have
it in their power to demand that it should
be carried out to the last jot and tittle of
the record.
We lay thiajmef statement of the designs
of our enemy before the people of Georgi a,
to let them see for what they are fighting
and what they are fighting to avoid.
THE FATE OF THE 80UTH—-WHITING’S
AND HOVEY’S LETrEBS.
Some of the most prominent, men at the
North are discussing what is to be the fate
of the South in the two events of subjuga
lion or reconstruction. Two very explicit
letters have been written on this subject, one
by Mr. Win., Whiting,Solicitor of the Federal
'Treasury to the Union League of Philadel
phia ; and the other by General Alven P.
Hovey to a Democratic meeting in India-,
napolis. The first of these letters is semi-
'official; the second is lordly less important,
as it proceeds from the “hero of Champion
Hill,” and claims to represent the opinious
of nine tenths of the Yankee army.
Reconstruction and subjugation, though
regarded as different and distinct, are realiy
one and the same thing. The proposition
to reconstruct coming from the South when
subjugation had been accomplished, or even
when it was imminent, conld only be re
garded as a hypocritical proposition, and
the idea of reconstructing the Union and
endowing it with thd vitality which it pos
sessed in its palmiest days is fast becoming
a defunct idea everywhere throughout the
land.
The very interesting inquiry then arises,
in case of our subj agation, what terms would
the North allow us t aud *it is this very
question that these two important letters
emanating from the highest Northern sour-
THE STATE SENATE-COL. E. P. WATKINS.
Mr. Editor: I have learned with much
pleasure that Col. E. P. Watkins has con
sented to be a candiate for the State Senate
at the coming election. I am pleased because
I feel confident the constituency will elect
him, and that when elected will he. faithfully
serve them. I base these comments and of
fer these predictions upon the knowledge 1
possess of the candidate and the confidence
I repose in the good judgment and discre
tion of the constituency.
I modestly suggest that ainoug the names
spoken of lor our Senate, none are as wor
thy the position as Col. Watkins. In sup
port of this suggestion, I respectfully refer
to the fact.
1. He is intellectually qualified for the po
sition. Now, it matters not how true he
maybe to our glorious cause, how gallantly
he may have battled on fields of blood for
bis country, how severely he may have been
wounded, if he is not intellectually qualified
for the office, its honors should not be be
stowed upon him, nor its responsibilities en
trusted to his oversight. Col. W. has alrea
dy faithfully served Georgia as her Secretary
of State, and his position previous to this
calamitous war has clearly proven him wor
thy the trust now sought to be placed in his
hands.
2. He is a soldier of his country. Unlike
babbling politicians who boasted the shed
ding of the last drop of their blood for the
Sunny South,” but who zealously avoid the
shedding of the first, he gallantly entered
service two years and seven months ago, aud
never once abandoned the ranks until shot
down while gallantly leading his regiment
theSdth Ga., at the battle of Baker’s Creek!
Far be it from him to abandon his post now.
He reports himself a soldier for the lour. If
honors are to be conferred, upon whom shall
we confer them—all things being equal ?—
Upon politicians who hav£ shrunk from the
trials; suffering and dangers of the soldier,
sleeping upon their beds of down and feast
ing upon the good things of their bountiful
ly supplied larders, or upon those gallant
I men who have left the comforts and endear
ments of home, betook them to the fields of
blood, and there, mid ice and snow, storm
and hunger, bravely struggled to repel the
ruthless invader, who pants for the biood of
our kinsmen, the disgrace of our women
and children, and the pollution of our fire
sides and altars - In the natural accom
plishments for such high positions, Colonel
\\ atkins is equal to any who oppose him,
but in these latter qualifications he.infi nite-
lv their superior. He is a soldier who has
gallantly suffered, fought and bled for his
country, aud who is willing to do so again
so soon as the wound from which he suffers
will permit him to return to his regiment,
who are proud of their Colonel.
3. lie is a true Southern man. We have
heard xfiueh of. reconstruction lately. We
have heard it whispered about gentleiaen in
Georgia, and in this district. We have also
seen letters written after the peculiar Sew
ard style—a display of words concealing
important facts. But of E. P. Watkins not
& whisper has been breathed derogatory to
his character as a man, a soldier and a pa
triot. GEORGIA.

FROM RICHMOND.
Richmond, Sept. 4th, 1863.
. Charleston still holds out bravely, aud
Forts Sumter and Wagner, notwithstanding
the demand made for their surrender, are
not yet taken. The public, in this quarter
is much indebted to your able correspond
ent, “200,” who keeps it . promptly advised
of everything of moment that transpires be
tw'eeu the assailing party and Our gallaut
troops. The opinion here is growing stronger
every day, that Charleston is not to be cap
lured aud destroyed by Lincoln’s armada
during this expedition, aud that Gillmore
aud Dablgreu will be shortly compelled to
retire beiore the concentrated fire of our
battenes, crestfallen and shorn of thei4^h
rels. There is every reason to believe that
sevei%l of their lauded monitors have been
badly damaged, aud it is now well known
that the enemy lias not yet had a practical
demonstration (temporarily held in reserve)
of our power to assail^ts well as defend.—
When the favorable moment comes for that
demonstration,the Ironsides and other boast
ed vessels which are constantly brought into
the foreground and paraded for our humili
ation, may be penetrated through and thro’
and sent to the bottom with the speed of a
thunderbolt. It is not the tallest masts aud
the most proudly careering war ships, spout
ing fire from their bellies, that escape the
lightning vengeance of heaven. Might gives
place to stronger might, especially wher^the
latter is seconded by an all-powerful arm
stretched out to aid it in its conquests, and
the Devil recedes, howling and vanquished,
belore the well aimed and death-dealing
missiles.of a superior power. The aspect of
the heavens this morning seems to intimate
strong!y that the equinoctial gale, so de
structive on our coast, is brewing, atfd may
soon summon the angry elements of nature
to unite with the powerful and still fierce r
passions of man in sweeping from the sur
face, and bringing in the depths of the ocean
the whole of the enemy’s fleet. May that
Unseen and Beneficent Power that main
tains Right and Justice, and has thus far
watched over and protected the interests
and honor of these Confederate States,speed-
ily send forth the winds and tempests of
heaven on this important mission
I understahd that Gov. Foote is out with
a letter to the President, and that it is pub
lished iu a letter to the Richmond Whig,
have not seen it, but am inlorraed that his
Ex-Excellency and Representative m the
lower house of Congress from Tennessee,
has ventilated himself in respect to the ad
ministration of affairs in general, and the
administration of President Davis in partic
ular ; and that the character of the missive,
while it is largely imbued with fervent pa
triotism, is critical and fault-finding in res
pect to the'geuerals of our army, and the
incumbents of the President’s cabinet. He
insinuates^ it is said, that his Excellency the
President is actuated by his personal partial
ities, and doe3 not rise superior to the influ
ence of prejudice, in making appointments
in the army, and in retainining doubtful and
incompetent officers in their places. He
thinks, and ventures to intimate, that the
President should have called around him
“ the ablest and most accomplished men
which these Confederate States could fur
nish, as his cabinet advisers—men of the
purest morals, of the most disinterested pa
triotism, of tne greatest weight of character,
and of the most extended fame.” The edi
tor of the Richmond Enquirer is unkind
enough to imagine that Gov. Foote consid
ers himself overslaughed by. not himself
having received an appointment in his Ex
cellency’s cabinet; but no person, who is
acquainted with the disinterested philan
thropy of the Governor, can, for a moment
attribute his strictures on men aud things to
motives of personal ambition. We might
as well as well attribute such motives to the
brilliant editor of the Enquirer himself who
hi the same paper that contains this fling at
Gov. Foote, announces to the public, apolo
getically, that he “ cannot swallow the whole
of the Presideul’s cabinet,” and that “Mr
Benjamin would choke” him; by which
announcement it is charity to believe that
he intended no personal reflections, Rut re
ferred only to the capacity of his own gullet.
Governor Foote is a capital parliamentary
pugilist. I have often admired his resources
which are inexhaustible, and his fluency*
which is unparallelled. But the Governor,
it seems, sometimes mistakes his friends for
his foes, and hitting right and left indiscrim
inate^’, often deals blows on those whom he
most vehemently admires, and injures the
cause to which he is most devotedly attached.
With a clear track before him, and a given
subject, be it liberty of speech or the press,
habeas corpus, or the functions of the three
departments of the government, no states
man can vindicate the truth, and denounce
injustice, with greater eloquence and force,
nor run before the wind with greater elec
tric velocity. But the Governor, with alj
these noble traits, is mortal, and sometimes,
I fear, i3 influenced by those very partiali
ties and prejudices, which it is so hard for
any of us to subdue, and which we are apt
to condemn with such unsparing severity in
others. Hence it would be wise in the Gov
ernor to allow the President, who is omnis
in illis, to make his own appointments in his
own way, and, as the State of Tennessee bus
honored itself, and honored him, by send
ing him to Congress to aid his peers in fram
ing laws for our new Confederacy, under
circumstances that call into exercise the
highest powers of our most gifted statesmen^
to confine himself, as far as practicable, to
that most responsible function.
The premature cool weather, which we
have lately enjoyed, after the enervating
heats of summer, seems to have wonderfully
braced up the intellectual energies of our
great men in various parts of the country.
In the present momentous crisis of the Con
federacy, their recovered vigor, stimulated,
it seems, by the inspirations ot patriotism,
must have some kind of vent, and the press
and the people are certainly greatly indebted
to them for seizing the earliest opportunity
, to unburthen their minds of the weighty
opinions they entertain en the subjects of
government, war, the currency, impress
ment, aud other affiliated topics, and espe
cially to Messrs. Trescott, Tyler, Rives’
Foote and Toombs, for the concentrated
light which, like a galaxy in the heavens
they have suddenly shed upon these rccon-
. dite themes. The subjects and the occasion
have called them out, and they have
promptly obeyed the call, and have pre
sented their best and most mature thoughts
and suggestions as au offering of their pa
triotism. I have not yet read Mr. Toombs’
jitter to the Editor of the Constitutionalist,
and are consequently unprepared to express
an opinion of its merits, but in times past
I have been a great admirer of liis energy^
eloquence and statesmanship, aud am sorry
to hear that lie has retired, like Achilles, to
his tent, somewhat dissatisfied with public
life.
The intellectual and patriotic element in
our Confederacy that earnestly demands an
opportunity for development should not be
confined to the channel of the press alone.—
Tht statesmen should be heard by word of
mouth. After engaging a long respite, jhe
Congressional mind is refreshed and ready
for action, and there seems to be an unanb
mous call, both from the people and the
press, for an extra session of Congress, to be
convened as soon as possible. It is thought
by many that in consequence of this expres
sion of public sentiment, and the exigencies
of the country, the President will think pro
per to convoke the Confederate Legislature
to meet an early day.*- The state of the cur
reucy imperiously demands prompt congres
si^al action, and, as I informed you in
It—e letter, another subject requires action
quite as prompt and instantaneous. I al
lude to the fact that Congress adjourned, at
its last session, without making adequate
provision for the support of the civil depart
ments of the Government; in consequence
of which, incumbents in office are, in the
present depreciated state of the currency
without the means of living, being reduced
Dearly to thepoidt of starvation. Humanity
as well as justice, and, not less so, public opin
ion, demand that if we are to have a gov
ernment, its officers should at least be sup
plied, even in a time of war, with the neces
saries of life, especially in a country abound
ing in all kind of supplies.
ince writing the above I have seen and
read the letter of the Hon. Mr. Toombs, ad
dressed to the editor of the Augusta Consti
tutionalist, and transferred from that news
paper to other of our public journals. It
contains some suggestions of the greatest
weight, and deserving the prompt attention
of our legislative bodies, State and Confed
erate. As confirmatory of the views I have
myself expressed, I beg leave to cite the fol
lowing passages:
“That commodities will rise or fall in
proportion to the increase or diminution of
money, I assume a9 a fact which is incon
trovertible.” This i3 the language of Mr.
Ricardo, and he is supported by Adam
Smith and all of the great writers and think
ers on currency who have flourished within
the last hundred years. The same great
truth is daily pressing itself upon our ob
servation, and demonstrating itself before
our eyes every day. The pay of our officers
and soldiers, the pay of the civil employees
of the Confederate and State governments,
the compensation of all, cither in military
or civil life, at wages established on the old
basis of a sound currency, has diminished,
daily diminishing, in real exchanega-
ble value, to a sum for which the actual ne_
cessaries of life cannot be purchased. They
feel the misery and generally know not its
law.”
In conclusion, he says:
“ We must act, and that quickly; the pub
lic interest and public safety will no longer
allow’ delay. Our present system is utterly
insupportable; it is upsetting the very foun
dations ot private rights, weakening daily
public confidence in our cause at home and
abroad, sowing dangerous discontents among
the people, which are daily deepening and
widening. Patriotism demands that all
good men should unite to coirect these
evils.”
If, then, the President should not convoke
Congress at this time, it is believed and ex
pected by many that that honoiable bodj.
will come together of its own accord, and ?
knocking at the doors of the Presidential
mansion, will ask permission to be allow cd
to attend to the public interests, and, in times
of public danger and distress, imperatively
demanding the‘exercise, not only of human
ity but of the highest wisdom, see to it, ne-

A CARD.
Having been announced as a candidate for the rep
resentation of lliii county in the next^Legidature, Itake
tills method of saying to the people that I would like to
be elected. Should it be your pleasure to place me in
this position, l shall vote on all questions of public in
terest upon their merits alone, without regard to who
favors or opposes them, according to my own conviction
of du ty.
X now consi Jer it the duty of every private lndividu al,
as well aspubllc men, to shape his actions so as to give
the grea*03 amount of aid m freeing the country from
the dingers which .now environ us—to establish our
complete independence and eternal separation from the
fanatic 3 of the North, who seek to emancipate our slaves
obliterate our State lines, annul our municipal laws, con
fiscate our property, and make us and our children vas
.sols for all time to come.
The South has too many maimed youths, grief-3t:lcken
fathers, bereaved mothers and widows and helpless or
phans, ever to clasp the bloody hands of our enemies in
political followship. The bare suggestion would be atk
i»g too much of human nature, and is repellant to every
principle of manhood. It is no time now to ask or dis
pute about who brought on these troubles; whetherit
was too late or too soon; the vindictive, cruel, selfishness
of the Yankees as developed in the progress of the two
years war, leaves us truly to regret we had not made
greater preparation at an earlier day. The only alter
native is to fight out of it. Hence all legislation should
be so directed as to secure our triumph In arms.
The army should be, must be maintained, and the
wives and children of the soldlersjin the field, protected
andcared for by wise and just legislation. These things
will require heavy taxation. The right of producers too,
and of business and commercial men should be protected
against all arbitrary, vexatious and unnecessary seiz
ures and improper interference. All official*, both civil
and military should be held strictly to th<f discharge of
the duties which come withtn their respective provinces.
All offices of large patronage should occasionally change
hands, for where one man retains power and controls it
too long, abuses tnd corruption are sure to creep in,
and cannot be discovered or remedied as long as those
concerned keep the key to their own secrets. As appli
cable to this view of the subjeetthe State Railroad,the
extraordinary increase of executive patronage arising
from the organization of a State army with the numer
ous regiments for Confederate service require the serious
consideration of the people who are opposed to the one
man power which is over dangerous to republics,
think a little airing and srubbing up of the Executive
mansion once in four years at least would contribute
largely to the health and well-being of the body politic.
Therefore, I shall not vo:e for the present incumbent
but shall cast my vote for Governor for one of the p:h
candidates that I think m st likely to carry out such
measures as will secure cur independence and best in
terests.
I belong to no party or clique, but propose to “tote
my own skillet,” and do not intend by arty combination
to be impliedly or otherwise bound, if elected, to vote
for or.again3t any measure because it Is a party meas
ure. This policy has been one of the greatest curses to
to the country. I go free or not at all I shall enter
into no bitter contest for the office. If this schedule
suits you, you can “govern yourselves qccoreingly.
