Sunday ornlnjr, September 13, 1S5S FOR GOVERNOR: .JOSEPH E. BROWN. THE SITUATION IN FEONT. The enemy now occupies the whole line of East Tennessee, from Knoxville to Chat tanooga, and from that point towards tlie Northwestern portion of the State of Geor gia, in the vicinity of Broomtown Valley.— We have removed all the public stores from Dalton, which is still held by a large force of our cavalry, anticipating the advance of the enemy’s cavalry, which had passed through Ringgold. It is reported that, day before yesterday, there was a fight near Catoosa Springs, be tween a portion of the Confederate cavalry • and' the enemy’s. Our-forces fell back to Tunnel Hill, where they were .reinforced, and it was supposed we would engage the enemy’s eavalry yesterday. We learn that all the bridges oh the rail 4 road, between Tiinuel Hill and Chattanooga, have been burnt by tlie enemy, as well as the eating house of Mr. Ililburn, at Catoosa Station. . . Gen. Brag&’s army is in the neighborhood of Sumrtierville, Chattooga county, 48 miles south-west of Chattanooga, and 16 miles north-east of Rome. The enemy’s forces are but six miles distant, west of, and in front of Summerville. Every day brings matters to a more criti cal position, rendering the impending con lliet so precarious, that the grand battle of the revolution may begin at any moment.— Neither army, it would seem, is exactly in position to strike, and it may be some ten days yet before the grand conflict com. monccs. We have just heard that the Yankee van dals have burnt the Tsion Cotton Factory, live miles above Sumtnqrville, owned by, Marsh & Algood, together with 2700 bales of cotton. This was done by. Yankee cavalry supposed to be 3000 stroM£. THE MARIETTA FAFRR MILLS. We lay before our readers the following letter just received from Mr. Edmonston, the Agent of the Marietta Paper Mills. We trust that such action will be taken by both the‘State and Confederate authorities, as to remove the difficulties in the way of the en terprising proprietors of these Mills, so that, at an early day, they can resume the manu facture of paper, without which the inter ests of both the State and Confederate Gov- -ernments, as well as those of the people, will sufTer mor than even the newspapers. Mr. Edmonston’s views are sensible: Marietta, September 10th, 1863. Editor of Intelligencer: I have on hand a few bundles of paper, which 1 will ship you, and this will be the last for some time ; for when we shall re sume again I cannot tell. My^hands volun teered in the Home Guard, to protect the country against raids, and are now called out to guard stores and prepare the defences of your city,-I understand. In the first in stance, at the commencement of the war, I was disposed to aid all in my power and encouraged two of the hands to volunteer in Confederate service. This left hardly hands enough to get along with, when all were well. Afterwards we lost two or three hands, and this left us short of hands, and one machine has only ruu when our hands have worked eighteen hours in the day.— We applied for the detail *of the hands ■ which lias no*, been done, though the Gov- . .eminent has been urgent for paper, and we have strained'every nerve to supply. Short- handed, .we have done the best we could, and now all our hands are taken, of course we are obliged to stop. 1 do not exactly comprehend how it is that Government agents insist upon the absolute necessity for the Government to have paper, and yet re fine us onr hands. You know Paper M;& ers are not to -be had South, and are not like Shoe-Makers, and many other callings which give exemptions to so many thous ands, and cannot be learned after the Con script officer take3 after a fellow. Well, if the Government needs our hands to dig ditches more than the paper, patriotism and our comfort answers. All right ! I trust you will be able to get your supplies qjsewhere, as we shall not resume, until we get hands ' enough to get along with without being pressed and kicked to death. Respectfully, A. S. EDMONSTON, Agent. P. S.—Call round to the ditches and sec how friend Buekhalter handles the spade and shovel. A. S. E, GOV VANCE, OF NORTH CAROLINA, AND THE TORIES. A numberof public meetiugs were recently held by the tory reconstructionists in North Carolina, iu most ot which resolutions were passed threatening resistance to conscription and to the collection ot taxes. In view, of this, Gov. Vance, although at a rattier late date, has issued a proclamation in which lie informs the people that he has sworn to see all the laws executed, and intends to. He acknowledges their right to hold. meetings and consult for the common good, but de clares that the Constitution of the Confeder ate States and all laws passed iu pursuance with it, are the supreme law of the land, and that resistance to them by combination is treason, lie concludes fcy appealing to them uot to do anything that will create discord and civil war in the State. On the whole, the proclamation is a very well written one, but in the abstract, we think the Governor’s style of addressing the parties who were holding Union meetings in his State very weak, and a little too conciliating. A little wholesome hanging would do more towards silencing the dastards than all the proclamations is sued. In connection with the foregoing, we are pleased to see the following in relation to that traitor sheet, the Raleigh Standard, in yesterday’s “Confederacy” .* Disloyalty in the Press.—The Raleigh Standard, with its treason, has been tolerated until it has found encouragement and strength, and then has been incited by vain threats and emboldened by exchange of epi thets until it has enlisted a formidable mob, and now we have a dispatch for the press, in the shape of a “bullying” threat that if the soldiers make any further demonstrations, there is no knowing where the matter may end. Now there was a way to have prevented Ibis strife. If there was tangible evidence of Holden’s treason, be should have been disposed of without cavil or delay; if not there was no propriety in throwing out jeer ing insinuations and pandering to a conten tious spirit In fyture, we hope that there will be a more judicious policy in regard to treason in the press, and that it wyll be nip ped in the bud before it assumes such gigan tic proportions. For our own part, wc do not hesitate to say, that such men as Ilohlen should be sum marily dealt with by the authorities, and only when the latter refuse to do their duty to the government and people, or persist ently neglect to do so, should the people take the offenders iu hand. We have a govern meat; one whose constitution lias been rati lied by the people, and whose laws in pur suance thereof, should be obeyed. Attempts to overthrow that government can be noth ing less than treason, and punishment of the traitors should f ill speedily upon them in ac cordance with law, if possible; and if not, outside of the law to the extent of the sup pression of all such disloyal sheets .as Hol den’s ‘ lialeigh Standard.” the oath to observe the Constitution of the ! sents a fair ease for the appointmHt of a GEN- HOWELL COBB. Our neighbors of the Confederacy are mis. taken in stating that this distinguished Geor gian has been assigned to the command of the S(ate troops recently called into the field, through Gov. Brown, by the President, fftd who are now moving to different posts for organization. To Gen. Conn the duty only of organizing these troops lias been assigned for the present. Possibly he may be ap pointed to command them, though up to this time, he has received no orders to that effect. gWWe again call attention to General Order No. 9, issued from the State Adju tant General’s office. 1 Special Correspondence of the Atlanta Intelligencer. FROM RICHMOND. Richmond, Sept. 7th, 1863. Mr. Abraham Lincoln’s (Hank’s) letter to the Springfield Convention, reviewing the course of his administration, and attempting to justify it, was published here last Satur day evening as an. extra, supplied Sunday reading to our quidnuncs', and elicited much comment. It iythe production of a little and malignant mind, elevated by circum stances above its proper, level, and sharpen ed by the necessities of his situation. A con viction that he occupies a high position, and holds it by a pretty firm tenure, seems to render him indifferent, especially in the use of his mother tongue, if he was ever ac quainted with its proper -use, which is not probable. The way in which he throws off his ungrammatical sentences, and his incon sequential reasoning, should be a caution to future Presidents, if they have any Jear Of the critics before their eye3. A man, who is at once a scholar and a statesman who com mits a literary blunder may be pardoned for it, but a booby President who attempts to utter English through the organ of the press, and utterly fails, ought to be condemned outright by the whole world. The whole of Mr. Lincoln’s letter is silly and contemptible, and does not rise in merit to the grade of a schoolboy performance. A child in the first form ought, to be whipped who could not produce a better composition. There is an evident effort to be epigrammatic* and jocose, but the grin of. the President is like the grin of a monkey, and produces no answeriug smile irom the human species.— One ot his peculiarities is to propound ques tions, and then to answer them as if he were himself interrogated. This habit he has bor rowed from the Yankees, and it character ises all liis efforts to exhibit his logical pow ers for the admiration of the present age and of posterity. . Thus his questions include the major propositions of his syllogisms, his an swers the minor, and his inferences from his own answers, his conclusions. For example, in the letter before me, lie addresses those whom lie supposes to lie his old political friends, and says: “Are you for suppressing the rebellion by the form of arms’?” This is his major proposition. Assuming the affirm ative as their reply, he proceeds: “If you are, so far arc we agreed.” This is his minor pro position. But should they venture on a nega tive, he is prepared for so astounding a re sult, and says: “If you are not for it, then we are not agreed.’* This is his conclusion.— Thus by his questions and answers he has concocted as fair a specimen of logic as a per son half man and half monkey is capable of and if his old political friends do not recog nise in liim another Aristotle or Wliately, aud are not of opinion that the best way to secure peace is to put down the rebellion by force of arms, it is all over with them- It is enough that he, President Lincoln, agrees to the proposition that peace is only to be en forced at the point of the bayonet. Their opinion against his dear sighted judgment, has uot the weight of a leather in the scale. There is one acknowledgment which Mr. Liucolu makes in this letter, and which he says he makes freely, at which you and your readers wooid be inclined to smile, if the matter were not too grave for jesting. He says : “I freely acknowledge* m> self to be the servant of the people, according to the bond of service—the United States’ Consti tution—and that as such I am responsible to them.” Why, at this time of day, make such an acknowledgment at all? Every one knows that he could not have entered on his duties as President " without taking United States. But for a high functionary who has ruthlesslyjMmpled on every prin ciple of the Fed^BConstitntion in the course of his vile flEnistration, to volun teer the statement twit he is bound to ob serve the express limitations of that instru ment, and that he is responsible to the peo ple for their violation, would be ludicrous in the extreme, ii the effrontery of the state ment did not overshadow the folly of it, and were we not satisfied that a reference to his responsibility proceeds from the ranklings of an agitated conscience, or, what is more probable, from the fears of a coming reckon ing with an outraged people whom the usurper, proceeding step by step, has at length deprived of all their constitutional rights. He may well look forward to that day of reckoning—the gibbering monkey— with trembling limbs and terror at his heart. It he freely acknowledges the responsibility now, he will be certain to shirk it, if he can, when the hour comes in which he shall be called to answer for the numerous crimes he has committed iu the name of liberty and the Federal Constitution. Having expressed his opinions as to the inodes of procuring peace, 1st, by form, the mode lie approves; 2d, by imaginary com pfomises, which are rendered impractica blc by the opposition that would be raised by the Confederate army; and, 3d, by giv ing up the Union, or allowing it to slide, a course which he reprobates as cowardly and disloyal, he next ventilates his opinions about the negro, and starts with the ex pression of a wish that all men, negroes in eluded, should be free. Apparently over looking his promises, or disregarding them he next affirms, contrary to the generally re ceivcd notions of abolitiouists, that slaves are property, and being property, are like all other property of the enemy, liable to capture.in war. Although property, being men, they are subjects of emancipation, and he maintains, without assigning any grant of power for the purpose ip the Constitu tion, that their emancipation is Constitu tional. His “old political friends,” he says do not think it Constitutional, but he docs and that is enough. “ If it is not valid,” i. c., constitutional, “ it needs no retraction,’ i. e., it is not liable, like unconstitutional laws, to be set aside by the Supreme Couit on the ground of unconstitutionality. It forms part and parcel of a President’s proc lamatioD, having the force of law, but is not to be set aside by any power but the Presi dent himself, and being valid, i. e., consti tutional, it cannot, he says be retracted any more than the dead can be brought to life. When, then, Mr. Lincoln is able to bring the dead to life, then, and not before, the world may rest satisfied that the emancipation proclamation, the great and distinguished- measure of his administration, will be re tracted, and that he has done something that did not entitle him to immortal fame. Having emancipated the slaves by his own fiat, he next justifies his course in putting them into the army on a footing with white men, and intimates that his white conscripts would be insufficient to put down the re bellion without the aid ‘ of the negroes, af firming that some of his Generals have pos itively declared that “ the emancipation poli cy'and the aid of the colored troops consti tutes (?) the heaviest blows yet dealt to the rebellion,” adding that one of their most jm portant battles would not have been gained without “the aid of the black soldiers!” He then congratulates himself and his old political friends” on what he calls “the signs!” “ The signs,” he says, “ look bet ter. The Father of Waters again goes unvex ed to the sea; thanks to the Great North west for it; nor yet wholly to them (?). Three hundred miles up they (?) met New England, the Empire, Keystone and New Jersey hciosng their way, right and left.”— Them and they refer, I suppose—thanks to the President’s grammar—to the Great Northwest. But what shall we say to New England, the Empire; and the other great powers enumerated, hewing their way?— They had long since, I thought, passed that that point in the progress of their civiliza tion. “TheSunny South, too, iu more col ors than one, lent a hand on the spot,” i. ei, in hetolng their way. 'Iheir-tf) part of histo ry was “ jotted down in black and white.”— Quite poetical and complimentary to the South aud their habits. “ The goal was a great national one, and let none, be banned, who bore an honest part in it,” i. e., the goal. What stuff is this! But this is not all: “Uncle Sam’s noble fleet must not be forgotten. Not only on the deep sea. the broad bay, the rapid river, but also up the. narrow bayou, and wherever the ground is a little damp, they have been, and made their tracks.” The Liucolu fleet has realized, in part, what antiquity held to he ridiculous impossibility. By the privilege of damp aud oozy grounds, under the tricks of the ape, it has hunted “ Dolphins In gioves wild boars In the streams.” In conclusion, Mr. Lincoln expresses the hope that “peace will come soon and come to .stay.” “It will then have been proved,” he says, “that among freemen there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and that they who take such an ap peal al*e sure to lose their case aud pay the cost.” If Mr. Lincoln is sincere in thi3 ex pression of his views, no one lias it in his power to make peace come more easily than himself. The people of the 3oulh has , never had the slightest inclination to appeal from the ballot to the Imliet—a practice, that during this controversy between the i sections, was inaugurated by the blood-, thirsty usurper himself. The South has done nothing more than s^and upon her rights, prepared to defend them at any cost. That Mr. Lincoln is insincere in professing a desire fof peace is evident from his double- dealing and contradictory assertions, affirm ing, in one breath, that peace can only be obtained by a resort to force, and, in the next, that those who appeal from the ballot to the bullet, pursue a losing and a costly game. The conclusion to which we are led by comparing these and other conflicting assertions of his letter, is, that if he ever possessed any sense, he has lost it, and pre- commission of lunacj'. The evacuation of Battery Wagner, of which we have just received information, has producod considerable sensation here, but it is generally believed that the occur-, rence, however much to be regretted, does not involve the loss of Fort Sumter or of Charleston. It is reported that both the Alabama and the Florida are on the English coast. It is surmised that they are intended to protect our iron-clads that have just been launched in British waters, on their passage across- the Atlantic. The Virginia Legislature convened yes terday in extra session, at the call of his Excellency, Governor Letcher, whose mes sage to both branches has been greatly ad mired for its ability and patriotism, and to which I shall advert more particularly in my next letter. CLIO. From the Charleston Courier. - NEWS FROM THE ISLANDS. The enemy has refrained from firing since his uusucessful assault on Fort Sumter.— Our batteries on JameF and Sullivan’s Is lands, together with Fort Moultrie, keep up a study, lire on the Morris’ Island works. • The”enemy is reported busy at work .on Batteries Gregg and Wagner, having erected a urge platform for his guns on the latter, and thrown up an extensive^ sand enibank- meat on the lormer. The Yankees are also said to be working on their batteries on Craig’s Hill and building embrasures for guns pointing to Sullivan’s Island, which it is believed will be the next point of attack. - The Ironsides was lying in her old posi tion yesterday, opposite battery Wagner, receiving ammunition from a schooner a- longside of lid!*. The Monitors remain at at their old anchorage. One ot the enemy’s steamers appeared busy yesterday transport ing guns aud ordnance. According to the prisoners’s accounts the expedition against Fort Sumter consisted of twenty-five to thirty boats, with an average of twenty to each boat. The details of men were made from the blockading vessels out side, with officers lrom the fleet inside to command them. The men knew nothing of the proposed expedition until they had fin ished their dinner on Tuesday, when they were called up for ordei‘3. The boats with their crews afterwards pulled up alongside of the flagship to receive instructions. Lieut, Williams, iu command, took the lead. They expected they say to meet not more than a simple guard of about one hundred men. •They also expected to be able to go through the breach without difficulty or hav ing to climb over. The night was misty-and favorable for a close approach* without no tice. Their calculations they say all proved incorrect. About fifty marines from the United States steamer -Powhatan form the greater majority of the prisoners taken. They state also that the Monitor ashore dur ing the fight Tuesday was the Weehawken, the same vessel that took the lead in the at tack on the 7tli of April. They admit that the fire from Sullivan’s Island in ihe last fight was veiy accurate, one of the Monitors having been struck on the turret twenty-nine times, without, they say, doing any damage. One Monitor had her smokestack blown off entirely The Ironsides was struck fifty times without, they say, inflicting any serious damage.— The prisoners manifest a great deal of con fidence in the ability of General Gillmore to take the city, So confident were they of success in the late expedition that two boxes were received under flag of truce, one addressed to “Lieut. E. P. Williams, commanding Fort Sumter,” and another to “Ensign Benjamin II. Por ter, Fort Sumter.” These were packed with lemons, jellies, liquors, &c., ail evidently prepared for a general glorification. Mobile Market Scene—The Moble Tri bune furnishes the following : The market continues be abundantly supplied with every variety of vegetables of the season, plenty of good beef, mutton, fish, &c. Speaking of fish, we heard of a scene that is said to have occurred in the fish market a short time since. It was told to us .about as follows: One of the conscript officers learning that there were several ot the fishermen subject to the military laws, on the following Satur day evening, posted himself with a couple of guards in that locality, lie placing himself near a stout fellow who vended crabs. In a few minutes a, lady steppped up and asked the price, whGn the young Diego re- marked-- “Two dollar a dozen, mann.” “My gracious, it isn’t possible you ask two dollars lor one dozen crabs?” “You no lika, you no taka, you no want to buya, go away, la no want youa money. It is no mora two dimes, tree year ago. The lady became disgusted and left.— Several other purchasers came up and they were treated in the same uncivil manner.— Finally, the - conscript officer, who heard all the conversations, stepped up to him and asked— “Do vou. belong to the service, sir ?” The Diego knew him and his business at once, so he attempted t) evade the inquiry by replying— “I no cara for a fewa fish a. Youa want him, youa taka him lor one dollar and six bits.” “I don’t want your fish ; .1 asked if you were attached to any military compauy.” “You want do fish, taka dem for a dollar and a half.” “No sir. I want to know whether you are a soldier or a citizen.” Well taka djs buncka lor yourself. I no cara for a baclia of fish; taka de fisha—taka as mucha as you wanta for noting,” and at tempted to escape, but "it was no go.

A CARD- Having been announced as a candidate for the rep resentation of this county in the next ^Legislature, Itake this method of saying to the people that I would like to be elected. Should it be yo ur pleasure to place me in this position, I shall vote on all questions of public in terest upon their merits alone, without regard to who favors or opposes th&L, according to my own conviction of duty. I now consider it the duty of every private individu al, as well as public men, to shape his actions so as tp give the greales amount of aid in freeing the country from the dangers which now enviren us—to establish our complete independence and eternal separation from the fanatics 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 sals for all time to come. The South has too many maimed youth9, grief-stricken fathers, bereaved mothers and widows and helpless or phans, ever clasp the bloody hands of our enemies in political f ellowship. 1 he bare suggestion would be ask 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 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 soldiers jin' the field, protected and cared for by wise and just legislation. These things will require heavy taxation. The right sof producers too, and of business and commercial men should be protected against all arbitrary, vexatious and unnecessary leis ures and improper Interference. A11 officials, both civil and military should he held strictly to the 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 end 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 subject the 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 ever dangerous to republics. I 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 vote for the present incumbent, but sfial! cast my vote for G overnor for one of the other candidates that I think mesfc likely to carry out'such measures as will secure cur independenoe and best in terests. * belong to no party or clique, but propose to “tote uiy own skillet,” and do not intend by any combination to be impliedly or otherwise bound, if elected, to vote for or against any measure because it is a party meas ure. This po'lcy has been one of the greatest curses to to the country. I go free or ntt at a l I shall enter into no bitter contest for the office. 1 f this schedule suits you, you can “govern yourselves accoreingiy.” Respectfully, SeptlO-dSt G. W. ADAIR. ATHEN/EUM.

A. correspondent in Rotle’s (Battle’s) brigade, waiting to the Selina Reporter, says: An amusing incident occurred, a short time ago. which was related by a captain, who commanded n. party sent to the nioun tains in search of deserters. In order to be more successful in detecting deserters, the aptain determined to play deserter himself. On the mountain he met a young man dres- sed ic uuiform, whom lie asked who he was and what he was aud what he was doing. He replied that he was a soldier, had been wounded, and was at home on -furlough, and then asked onr captaiu who he. w*a3 aud what he was doing there. The captain said he had become very tired of t he war, want ed to go home, and had concluded to de sert. The young soldier looked at the cap tain very seriously, ami said : “ I am verj’ sorry for ft: it is indeed hard for our men to suffer so' much and be de prived <Jf the comtorts and pleasures of home, but I’ll tell yon,my friend, you ought to go back; this thing of desertion is a d—d shame.” Of course this was perfectly satisfatory to the captain, as he only wished to test whether or not the man was a deserter him self.
