Laftirday Horning, September yon GOVERNOR: iosepii e. brown. THE COFFIN REGIMENT.” The time was, an.l it i9 well remembered iii Georgia, wlien, in a bested political con- test, during which the timos we now live in were predicted soon to come, that “ The Collin Regimdnl” was a term of political re proach with some,, and of honest pride with oilier?. The figure then drawn has become a stern reality now. How many “coffin regi ment''. 1 ’ this war has produced ! How many alas! havafaallcn,and coffinless have been consigned to their mother earth ! The great popular orator wl o, fifteen years ago, utter ed the sentiment that gave birth to the em phatic term at the head of this article, and who so clearly predicted these evil days, now sleeps the sleep that knows no waking, and yet he still lives, lives in his two gallant sons who have led l Cc>jjin Regiments” to the field; lues-in tlie hearts of a gallant people who cherish the heroic sentiments so often ut tered in their hearing, and which arc now being practically carried out by Georgians in the field. Walter T. C >l«j lilt ii no more! Would that he were now in the land of the living, with his “ Coffin Regiment” at his back ! — Would that liis life could have been spared to witness the heroism^ his sons, and the practical illustration of his sentim.enta.— When, at the head of the gallant “ Sixth Georgia, 1 ’ over two years ago, wc saw one of liia sons, Alfred, now a distinguished Brigadier General in the Confederate army leaving this city for Richmond, we thought “ there goes one of the ‘Coffin Regiments* under a most gallant leader, to illustrate Georgia and his father’s sentiments.” Per haps, too, few Generals have fought as many battles, and few have made so many escapes. Had he been a Virginian, his gallantry in the many bailies he was engaged in there would not have passed unheralded. And' had he been a South Carolinian, the press of that Stale wou\I long since have noticed hia gallantry in the assaults or the enemy upon Wagner. At Seven Pines his clothes werp perforated with bullets, and at Sharps burg he lost," in killed and wounded* every officer of his brigade, save a Major—his own horse being shot under him, while gallantly leading his men. “Coffin Regiments” com- pose, arid have composed* his brigade, and though he has been, to our certain knowl *;dge, urgently solicited,and often, to become a candidate tor the highest office in the government of the people of this -State, lie prefers still to lead them battling for that independence lie has pledged life, fortune, and sacred honor to win, leaving the helm of the ship of Slate iu the hands of one who thus far has patriotic illy, and ably, and skillfully, directed it. Another “ Coffin Regiment” lias been led into the field ot active service, by Col. Pey ton il. Colquitt, the younger brother of the General, who has already won distinction in the service, and who is now with his gal. hint command at Rome. We predict lor this second son of the great champion of the South and Southern Rights, in Georgia, from the days of Troup up to the period of ids death, a brilliant career too in the army, hike his brother, he has won 'many honors in civil life, and like his brother, he will lead and fight side by side with “Coffin Regi ments' 1 till the great victory shall lie won which will give independence to the South. What was jeered at by some iu a period of political strife years ago, as we before remarked, is now become a stem reality in deed. The Georgia regiments in the field, and the gallant regiments of all the Slates of the Confederacy, may ^now be termed “ Coffin-Regiments.” I i they do not literally carry coffins upon their backs, they go into the bloody strife preferring that each man shall fill his own, rather than yield.to. Yan kee domination. “COBB”—THE 35th SENATORIAL DIST. “Cobb.” whose brief article appears iu another column, expresses'his regret that General Hansel! has withdrawn from the canvass, declining to be again a candidate to represent this Senatorial District, in the next General Assembly of our State. Wc, too, :i3 well as numerous other citizens of At lanta, have to express the same regret, and for the same reason—because of the “abili ty, industry and dignified deportment” which characterized General ITansell while serv ing this district in our State Senate the past 1 wo years. Rut while General Hansell (le- decimes being a candidate, he is still iu the field, and will use all honorable means to promote the election of Col. Watkins, with whom, upon the political issues of the dav, lie agrees, and who will prove his worthy successor iu the next General Assembly, the next tor we have no doubt of Lis triumphant election. We say this much, at present, iu order to apprise numerous friends of Gen. Hansell in Cobb, and Pulton, first, that Gen. Hansell is no candidate for re-election, and, second, that lie will not sanction the nomina tions made ia Jonesboro by a portion of the citizens of Clayton eaunty, of either Mr. Hill for Governor, or of Col. Calhoun for the Senate, but will oppose them both. This statement, we trust, will remove any erron eous impressions that have been made upon individuals in this or aav other county of the district in regard to the position of our late distinguished Senator. with a lot of cattle from Middle Tennessee. Some Yankee cavaliy followed the Doctor near Athens, Tenm, and succeeded in cap turing one man and thirty head of cattie which had nearly given out on the route. The Doctor brings sad news of the depre dations committed by.the Abolition infidels on the poor unprotected women and chil dren who were loft at the mercy of these wretches in Middle Tennessee. Not a farm house, or cottage, however humble, but what lias been sacked and pillaged, and the wives sisters and daughters of our brave soldiers ruthlessly insulted. Tennesseeans! remein- lier this in the coming battle, and avenge the outrage perpetrated on your kinsfolk by these fiendish barbarians. TELEGRAPH REPORTS. We have frequently noticed the practice of telegraph reporters giving their own opin ions in their dispatches to the Press, and not confining themselves to a statement of facts. This style of sending reports should not be permitted, a3 when the press receives the dispatch, if it is required they, will comment on it, without the aid of the reporter. Hon. Jno. T. Monroe.—We learn that this noble hearted, lion spirited gentleman, who defended the honor of New Drbj^ns to the last, alter the city had been ignomini- ously surrendered is now in Richmond, and has received a cordial welcome at the hands of the President. We hope that seme solid manifestation of the President’s fi ieausliip, and appreciation of the gallant avA brave part borne l>y May or Monroe, in maintaining unsullied the es cutcheon of his State, for which he suffered a long imprisonment and the loss of all his his property, will lie conferred upon this de serving gentleman. a FROM MIDDLE TENNESSEE. Our old friend, Dr. D. W. Strader, Gov ernment Agent, so well known iu Knoxville arrived safely in our lines a lew days ago- NEWS FROM THE WEST. Our friend, Dr. Strader, has kindly fur nished us with a Louisville Journal, of the 21st nit., from which we make the following extracts of interest: Imkortant Order.—An important order lias just been issued from the War Depart ment in regard to .the reduction of the amount of transportation for troops in the field, which indicates an active fall cam paign. A new schedule is adopted, givi ug to the headquarters of an army corps for transpor tation, two wagons or eight pack animals ; the headquarters ot a division or brigade, one wagon or five pack animals; field and staff of a regiment, one wagon or four pack animals, twelve company officers, one wagon or four pack animals; eighty non-commis sioned officers and privates, one wagon or five pack animals. This is to include’ transportation lor nil personal baggage, &c. All excess over this allowance now in the army is to be turned over to the Quartermaster’s Department. Commanding officers of corps, divisions, &c., arc required to make immediate inspec tions, and will be held responsible for the strict execution of orders. Commissary stores, lorage and ammunition will be trans ported by' tiains. This order also directs the mode .of carry ing rations by infantry, and provides that in ordinary marches, where troops can re ceive daily issues from trains, they will carry only two days’ rations; but in the imme diate vicinity of the enemy, and where it may be necessary to move without baggage or teams, men may be required to carry with them eight or ten days’ rations, meat licing driven along on the hoof. The order concludes thus: “By increasing the ordinary meat ration and levying contributions of flour and meal on the country passed over, bread and small rations carried by the soldiers may be made io last from twenty to twenty-five days. “In proper season bread rations may be partially dispensed with by ^substituting green corn, wbiels ean be foraged in the fields. “Moveable commas in the field should be furnished, with a hand or horse mill for grinding grain which they procure in the country.* The attention ot all officers commanding forces in the field is called to this order, and they will adopt details instructions ia fit ting out their commands for movements which are to be made rapidly and without the ordinary transportation. Stevenson, Ala., August 20. General Rosccrans pitched his headquar ters at this point yesterday evening. The supply trail came over the mountains from Winchester, arriving last night and this morniag. The road over the mountains— the same traveled by Gen. Buell—was seri ously blockaded by the rebels, who fell trees over the road at several points, compelling tne pioneers to eut^new roads for the passage of the wagons. Our camp is a short distance from Stevenson,’and three miles from the Tennessee. It is said that the enemy occupy a promi nent bluff near the crest of the mountains us a signal station. Four deserters swam the river to-day, and surrendered to oar pickets. They say the belief is, that Bragg will give us battle at Chattanooga, and, if severely punished, will retire on Rome or Atlanta. His army is now encamped along the railroads radiating from Chattanooga, and his pickets are visi ble on the banks of the Tennessee. A correspondent, writing from Vicksburg, says: 1 have just arrived at this place per steamer Albert Pearce, the first boat carrying a through United States mail from St. Louis to New Orleans since the opening of the Miss issippi. From Cairo to Vicksburg the ap pearance of the country contiguous to the river, as contrasted with that which it pre sented two years, or even eighteen months since, is striking, and is oi itself a forcible reminder of the melancholy fact that we are at war, and that, too, among ourselves. A2 stream continually traversed by gun boats, bearing upon its bosom large num bers of military transports, the banks of the river lined with frowning batteries, barren fields, depopulated villages, and a general suspension of business, gives but a poor pho tograph of the appearance of the country try, late the theatre of hostile contests.— From Cairo to Vicksburg, a distance of six hundred miles, not a score of human beings residents of the territory between these’ points, appeared ou the river shores, with the exception of negroes, most of whom were women and children. A Picture—The Journal says-- “The meeting of Grant and Banks m the loot ol the frown mg bluffs at Vicksburg j “a noble theme for the painter; We apTccViti, the Philadelphia Bulletin that no’s,-me of the war so well deserves, tne immortality of A grander scene for the artist, which we yet hope to witness, wouki be the meeting of these worthies at the foot of gallows; but history has already painted them on its paee immortally infamous. Ssxvard in a Lawsuit.—The New York Herald says: A suit jp which Mr. SecretauSeward is defendant, will in all probabilistic brought before the Stuucme Court on Monday next. It i3 a str mj^to see a Cabinet minister in a court of justice as defendant or plainffff; but it will be still more strange to sec Wil liam H. Seward defended by James T. Bra dy, his ancient political foe. There is another Supreme Court before which Seward will shortly be summoned, when it would be a still stranger sight to see him defended by his ancient political friend, Satan, who would undoubtedly throw off yflMa.se to get his own. Yxnkee Taxation.—In Nashville, pub lic women, by order of Gen. Granger, are required to furnish surgeon’s certificates of health an,l procure license. Four hundred dollars have baen rlfceived to date since the 14th. Tup Women Take the Field.—The scarcity of farm laborers in some parts of Massachusetts has resulted in the employ ment of females for some of the out-door work usually performed by men. Women reap, weed onions, and thin carrois, with groat eclat in the neighborhood of Green field, in-that State. Summer life on board the iron clads is more than tropical. In those unventila ted hulks the temperature for days lias mar ked 112° Fahrenheit. WILLIAM BARKER, THE YOUNG PA TRIOT. A TERRIBLE ROMANCE, IiV ATiTEMITS WARD. The following “short and sweet” romance in two chapters, points a moral and adorns a thrilling tale, which will not be lost upon our government contractors and others who desire to contract au alliance with a matter o’, money. I. “No, William Barker, you cannot, have my daughter's hand in marriage until you are her equal in ■wealth and social posi tion.” € The speaker was a haughty old man of some sixjy years, and the person whom lie addressed was a fine looking young man of twenty-five. With a sad aspect the young man with drew from the stately mansion. II. Six months later the young man- stood in the presence of the haughty old man. “What! you here again?” angrily cried the old man. “Ay, old maD.” proudly exclaimed Wil liam Barker. “Iam here your daughter’s equal and yours!” The okl man’s lips curled with scorn., A derisive smile lit up liiscold features; when, casting violently upon the marble centre liable an enormous roll of greenbacks, Wil liam Baker cried— “ Sec ! Look ou tills wealth. And I’ve tenfold more! Listen, old man ! You spurn ed me from your door. But I -did not de spair. I secured a contract for furnishing tlie army of tlie with beef ” “ Yes, yes!” eagerly exclaimed the old man. , - - : . “ and I bought up all the disabled cav alry horses I could find ” “ 1 see ! 1 see!” cried the old man. “And good beet they make too 1” “They do! they do ! and the profits are immense.” “ i should say so !” “And now, sir, I claim your daughter’s fair hand!” “Boy, she is yours. B'rthold! look me i a the eye. Throughout, all this have you been loyal ?” “To the core!” cried William Barker: And,” continued the old man, in a voice husky with emotion, “are you in favor of a’ vigorous prosecution of the war “ I am, lam !” * “ Then, boy, take her ! Maria, child, come hither. _ Your William claims thee. Be happy, ray children I and whatever our lot in life may be, let us all support the govern ment !” • From Wisconsin.—Through the polite ness of Lt. Sam’l J. H. Hall, of the 1st Lou isiana Cavalry, we have received the South Western Local, published at Sbullsburgh, Wis., of tlie -list July. It. is a strong Val- landigham paper, and opposes Jjitterly Lin coln’s tyranny and oppression, but we find in if no local items of interest. Why was not this thing done at Montgom- j cry v Sir. Stephens told us at Savannah they were the wisest, boldest, most prudent, j firm and patriotic set ever convened, and a , unit. Why did not Mr. Toombs propose it. ! Has he studied political economy since he has become disgusted with military Rfe, or is it that while in office he lacks the qua . ties to do, what, out ot office, he urges on others? If so, it is a fearful responsibility tefa trusting people. And this brings me o my third conclusion: Mr. Toombs can be of thrice the good out of office that, he wiL be in office. However this may be, IV r. Toombs’ views are eminently sound ant inline ntly important, and can’t be ad opto. too soon. ’ This letter may seem egotistical; be it so. It is true, and cannot be gainsayed. Very respectfully, JOHN A. JONES. [COMMUNICATED.], ! Fatrie Knowe, Aiig. 28, 180-i Mr. Editor ; . I have just been reading Mr. Toombs’ views on impressment and currency. They are eminently sound and practical, ami must bf; familiar to every student of political , economy; to evcry’reader.of Fay, Smith, Mill ' or Ricardo, and should be listened to atten tively, and adopted by the government as soon as possible. ' 'luxation is the basis of cre dit. I have known it tor fifty years, and in all wed conducted governments it is consid ered as necessary to the financial health of the body politic, as food and sleep to the physical man. 1 rated Judge Nesbit, in Ma con, soon after the adjournment of tlie usurp ing Congress at Montgomery, for not taxing the people directly, instead of imposing on us the odifwd?, unconstitutional, and corrupt protective tariff system; which he acknow ledged could produce no revenue, but be said was imposed to inaugurate the sys tem. I urged the same views upon Mr. Trios. Cobb, at the Big Shanty, saen after the first encampment there, it was just before he left for the Congress at Richmond. I told him to issue $100,000,000 of Treas ury notes, levy a direct tax of one per cent, on all the property in the Confederate States, and pledge tlie proceeds for the redemption of your notes. It will produce annually 00 to $80,000,000, and on it you can base a cir culation of $500,000,000—it would not have been needed, for prices would have been lower. Mr. C. seemed to approve the view presented. He went to Congress. The thing was not done. The usurping Congress of which Mr. Toombs was a member, had not what Mr. Toombs considers requisite— “ The wisdom, firmness and courage which. tti3 crisis demanded.” The history of this war and the history ot this government lias convinced me ot two or three things: 1st, that we have au abundance of astute party politicians, who understand how to get of fice ; but no statesmen, no financiers. 2d Mr. Memminger may be an able lawyer and an astute party politician, but no financier. While reading Mr. Toombs’ letters, a ques tion seemed pertinent to me, which I think Mr. Toombs will find it hard to answer. Fo.- the latell'g ueer. HON, JOSHUA HILL’S LETTER. Mr. Editor : I read this extraordinary production in your paper of the 3d inst., and although I do not care a brass button whether Gov- Brown is re elected or nob and shall not go twenty steps out of my w% to vote for him, I think this letter of Mr. Hill of such a strange character that I cannot resist pen ning a few word's to point out its glaring ab surdities . In the first place, allow me to remark that the main burden ot the letter is to cre ate an issue which never existed. No sane secessionist ever dreamt of reconstruction after the first step was taken. The step of secession by the * Southern States from the Northern and Eastern, was' intended, from the beginning, to be final, conclusive, and forever. So that till that part of Mr. Hill’s letter is surplusage, and goes for nothing, uriles3.it is intended as mere gas, expended for Buncombe. Mr. Hill says : “It is charged that I was m favor of a reconstruction of the Union—op posed to the prosecution of the war—And to the administration of President Davis.”— Wiihout wishing to repeat that charge, (and lie does not pretend to determine its truth or falsity) the writer would here remark that he has looked carefully through Mr. Hill’s letter, and-canuot find any direct denial of the charges—mere excuses and palliations throughout. But I do find Mr. Hill to state in that letter, directly, that he had “often ex- pressed7m honest convictions that the destrue- of the Union would be followed by a long and bloody war, disastrous beyond prece dent ia its results to every section; and that the idea ofrfissolving the Union with a hope ot reconstructing it on a basis more perma nent, and protective of the rights of States, was fallacious and absurd.” He docs not say that lie ever expressed one, word, or gave any counsel, how such calamities were to be avoided. He says—“I compared the effort to accomplish such an impossibility to the folly of taking the most delicate glass vase and crushing it to atoms, in the vain hope of collecting the scattered fragments, and, by re-uniting them, make the shattered vessel more comely and durable than be fore ;”but Mr. Hill does not tell his readers that he ever made tlie least effort to prevent his Northern friends from prostituting this delicate vase to the vilest and most degra ding purposes—efforts which they have been making from Mr. Hill’s childhood. Mr.JHill stands up for the pluck of the Yankee. He says—“I knew that time was, when they had fought, and I believed that by collision with cur brave troops, they would learn to do it again.” Then you be lieved, Mr. Hill, what has not taken place.— The Northwestern men, the Irish, and other foreigners in the Federal army have gene rally fought well; but if the South had had no other men than the Butlers, the Banks’s, the Shermans, and their Yankee -associates to encounter, the war would have been end ed long ago. CLAYTON. FROM NEWBERN-NO SIGNS OF AN AD VANCE OF THE ENEMY. The Kinston correspondent of the State Journal, who has been warning the authori ties day aftei. day for some lime that the Yankees at Newborn were preparing to ad vance into the interior with a force variously estimated at from 8 to 16,000, has just dis covered that the reported advance was all “bosh.” In his letter of the 3d instant, lie says: The complexion of things have materially changed down here as regards the move ments of the Yankees below', since my letter to yon of yesterday. The impression is prevalent here this morning, based upon the news that came up from below last night, to the effect that the roost of the enemy’s available forces have left Ncwbern, Fytliia the last five days, -.ad gone to reinforce the expedition off Charles ton. And the loress at New'bern at this lane are composed chiefly of negroes and conscripts; and that* the Yankees them selves, through their friends and allies amongst us, instigated this advance report as a feint, for tl^Lnurpose of causing our militiamen to ^Ptheir fodder by being called out at this season of the year, and also to cover tlieir movcnionts towards the cDitst of South Carolina. However, my own impression is that there is something rotten in Denmark, and that our mil-.tary authorities should constantly be on the alert, lest they should be taken unawares. If this news be true, we hopo that Gi v. Vance will release the militia men, at least for a sufficient time to go home and finish saving their fodder. For it is distressing in the extreme to witness.the extensive fields of fodder now drying up for the want of hands to save it in this section of the State. “PRO BONO PUBLICO.” PEOPLES TICKET.

The South has too many maimed youtlis, grief-stricken fathers, bereaved mothers and widows and helpless or phans, ever to clasp the bloody hands of our enemies in political fellowship. The bare suggestion would be ant ing too much of human nature, andisrepellant to every principle of manhood. It is no time now to ask or dis pute about who brought on these troubles; whether it was too late or too^ioon; the vindictive, cruel, selfishness of tlie Yankees as developed in tlie 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 s to secure our triumph in arms. Tlie army tiioaid be, must btftpiaintained, and the wives and children of the stldiersjn the field, protected and cared for by wise and jast legislation. These thiegs will require heavy taxation. The right sof producers too, and of business and commercial mtnjshou’dbe protected agaimt al! arbitrary, vexatious and unnecessary seiz ures and improper interference. All official3, both civil and military should be held strictly to the discharge of the duties which come withtn their respective pi ovinces."* 411 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 a3 those concerned keep the key to their own secrets. A3 appli cable to this view cf the subject tlie State Railroad, the extraordinary increase of executive patronage aiising from the organization of a State army wiih the numer ous regiments for Confederate service require the serious consideration of the people who are opposed to the one man pon ee which is ever daDgerous to republics, think a little-airing and erubbing up of the Executiv mansion once in four years at least, would contribute largely to the health and well-being of the body politic.
