PRESIDENT DAVIS TO DOVER-
NOR BROWN.
k *In conclusion 1 lake great pleas
ure iii recognizing that the history
,,t the past year affords the- amplest
justification for your assertion, that
if the question had been, whether
the conscription law was necessary
in order to raise men in (Georgia,
the answer must have been in the
negative. Your noble State has
promptly responded to every call
lliat it has been my duty to make
on her, and to yon, personally, as
her Executive, I acknowledge my
indebtedness for the prompt, cordial
and effectivc co-operation you have
afforded me in the effort to defend
our common country against the
comm on enemy.”—-Jtffersou- Davis.
THE SITUATION IN FBONT.
\Ve have rumors a plenty, but nothing re-
liable from the front to-day. A general ira-
pressiou prevails that Rosecrans is falling
back, hard-pressed by the forces of Gen.
Bragg. The heavy tiring heard on Sunday
last, in Ihe direction of Wills Valley, is not
yet satisfactorily accounted for.
Siuce writing the above, we have received
intelligence relative to the movements of
our army in part of a cheering character,
but which it is impolitic to :uakc public
through tlit* press. We can venture, how
ever, 1o say that the “wily Rosecrans” has
been baftiled in all his recent movemeuts,
and, we trust, will soon be at the head only
of a fleeing army.
“KNOXVILLE DALLY REGISTER ”
This spirited paper, now published in this
city, takes the place of the “Atlanta Ga
zette,” that paper having been discontinued
and merged into the Register. On “Georgia
polities,” its Editors says :
“The Register, therefore, except to can
vass independently such views of the candi
dates and our cotemporaries, as may have
a bearing upon the cause of the whole
country, will be neutral in the pending po
litical contest in this Slate. Among such
topics in connection with Ihe election as we
may feel at liberty to ventilate, we may
mention that the heresy of ‘reconstructions
is one. We cm assure both our Georgie
and Tennessee readers, that we shall givy
no countenance or encouragement to an-
candidatc for office in this or any other com,
munity, whoso antecedent, present reticence
or avowed sentiments Jmay attach to him
any shade of suspicion of his being willing
under any circumstances to return, ‘like the
dog to his vomit/ to the corrupt union of
the United States.
“A 9 , between con leading aspirants who
have clear records—wlio have given evidence
of their unwavering devotion to the cause
of Southern independence, wo have no
claims to espouse.' Bui as between the
wavering on the non committal, the snbmis-
sionists or the compromisers, and the pa
triots who have embarked in this revolution
to sink or swim, survive or perish, with the
cause of an independent South, the influence
of this journal will be always and unheal
tatingly for the latter.”
The foregoing “hat the ring of the tru e
‘DietaV in it, aud we cordially extend the
“right hand of fellowship” to'the “Register,
tendering to it all the courtesies of the pro
feasion, and wishing it a prosperous career.
to a country. You are a mean and bad citi
zen.” The cowardly scoundrel slunk off
and our people applauded the Yankee.—
Verily, we would much rather take the open
armed foe by the hand, and welcome him,
than to show an act of kindness or courtesy
to the enemy who, at home, reduces our
currency. The Yankee rebuked him prop
erly.
One fellow, on being asked what he was
fighting for, said, “ the Union.” A German
alongside him said, “ te Union wash blayed
out,” he “ was vightin for tirteen tollors a
month.” Honest Dutchman. The greater
number'of the prisoners are dogged, mean,
cut-throat looking devils. *
THE VICKSBURG PRISONERS.
We arc glad to learn that the prisoners of
the Vicksburgjfarflson whbf^ravc been ex-
ehangatkare promptly reporting to th«ir re
spective commands, and that in a very short
time the different brigades will be ready for
active service. The spirit which animates
these men is an unanimous one to wipe
away the stain of their late disaster at Vicks
burg—a staiu, nut on the valor of the-tnen,
but upon the deplorable circumstances ihat*|
caused defeat and capture.
'there arc still a few who ai enquired to
hasten to the place of rendezvous, and we
trust that the}' will not bo found absent when
the hour arrives t$ go jn "active service. It
js absolutely necesshry*1tlat the men who
were taken prisoners at Vicksburg should
he ready to march against the foe as soon as
exchanged. From the noble manner in
whieh the}' stood the storm of shell pouring
in upon them at the rate of 30,000 per day,
we are certain that no lire of the enemy
could now daunt the heart ot one, and we
feel confident that as soon as they are
marched against the enemy nothing will
atay them in their onward movement.
These men havo endured a seige not only
tlnparallelled j n the annals of this war, but
almost unheard of in the history of modern
warfare, and their services are now looked
upon the government as absolutely necessa
ry to the success of our cause. Let them
all, therefore, report with alacrity. The
country looks to them for deeds which will
surpass any yet performed thi3 war, and we
earnestly hope that they will not disappoint
the expectation of their countrymen.
A YANKEE REBUKE.
At Adairsville we met .several car loads of
Yankee prisoners on last Sunday. A large
number ot persons were eagerly conversing
with them, and amongst the items we no
ticed, were the following.
One contemptible fellow amongst oar cit
izens, was attempting to bargain (in an un
dertone) with a shrewd, intelligent looking
Yankee, for greenbacks. The Yankee, in
undisguised disgust, and in a lone of voice
sufficiently loud to be heard by all whostood
about, remarked to him: You area disgrace
to any country. Any man who does as-you
have done, offer two dollars of your own
money for one of greenbacks, is not entitled
MEETING OF EAST TENNESSEEANS.
The proceedings of the meeting at the
Athenaeum, on Tuesday, which we publish
elsewhere, exhibit a gratifying spirit on the
part of these noble exiles who have found a
temporary lodgment in this city. It is
enough to rebuke the spirit of repining too
common in more favored portions of the
Confederacy, where the feet of the ruthless
invader have not ye‘ trodden. It will be
seen from the resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted, that ihe proud and defiant
determination to be free has not forsaken
the men who composed the meeting, not
withstanding they have been forced tempo
rarily to flee from their home*, and leave the
objects of their affections behind. We trust
.that their separation will be of short dura
tion. One linds much to admire in the reso
lution which declares that they cheerfully
submit to the military necessity which led
to the abandonment for a season, by our
army, of Ea9t Tennessee.
The President of the meeting, Hon. Win
G. Swan, Representative in the Confederate
Congress lrom the Knoxville District, on
taking the Chair addressed the meeting as
follows:
“Gentlemen—While thanking j r ou, as I do
most heartily for the honor you have con
ferred on me in calling on me to preside oyer
the deliberations of this meeting to day, it is
right and proper that l should indicate to
3 r ou very briefly the reasons that actuated
you and me in assembling on this occa
sion.”
Some of us who are here are iu citizens'
gartyitliers arejhereas soldiers. You who are
here 03 soldiers, are here because )'Oti have
been ordered to rendezvous at this place, iu
order that very soon yon may again take the
field. Those of us who are not soldiers are
here because we have beeaylriven from our
homes. Each oi us, whether citizen or sol
dier, has left behind iu East Tennessee loved
ones—3ome, their wives and children, oth
ers, their fathers and motheis; and
still others, their brothers and sisters. But
all have left our homes.
It is right and proper that we, occupying
now a stand point altogether different from
that occupied by those we have left behind
us, shall, if possible, indicate to our friends
who are absent the view which we take ol
the great conflict now impending between
the two armies on the borders of Georgia and
Tennessee.
We may be certain that the enemy will
seek to impress our friends at home with the
conviction that their occupation of our
country is permanent, and that in no condi
tion will those thus driven oat ever make
their foot-prints again upon the soil of East
Tennessee. There is danger, then, that
those who are timid, faint-hearted, weak-
kneed may yield to the power of the op
pressor; and may feel that nothing is now
left for them but to make the best terms
■they can with the Government of the Unit
ed States. As we feel that the late ol our
loved on63 is, in some degree, involved in
the terms which those at home may wiali to
make with the enemy, it is our duty to im
press them, if we eau, with the conviction
that when this impending conflict shall take
place, it will result in victory to our arms
We are here also to send a word of encou
ragement to our soldiers, and to assure them
that the confidence whieh we have hitherto
ropoaed in the prowess of their arms re
mains still niiihakea. I have no hesitation
in sayiug to them, from what I know, that
the day ot their deliverance cannot be far
distant. I may say to them that our troops
have already moved through Bristol, and
have passed this side of Greenville; and the
probability is strong that those under Gen.
Jones are as lar West as Strawberry Plains,
giving us the assurance that soon they
will occupy the city of Knoxville; and I
say to you, turther, that the enemy under
Rosecrans are being pursued by Gen. Bragg,
and are falling back oa Chattanooga.
This being sex may we, not assure our
friends that.though exiled from our homes,
we have- tradiminished confidence in the
ChrislkiUipatriotism, as well as skill of our
Piesident?. May we not assure them that
opr army which is marshalled oa the bor
deis of Georgia, aud which has been so long
compressed for the want of numbers]
that compression having been removed, it
will rebound into Tennessee, driving before
them the army of Rosecrans, and will not
9top until our enemy has been driven across
the Ohio. Such is my belief. Besides giv.
ihg these assurances to oar friends, would it
not l>e well for us, exiled as we are, to give
assurances to the people in whose midst we
are spending a temporary^sojourn, that ex
iled though we are in the States of Miasiss
ippi, Alabama and Georgia, we have abated
nothing of onr confidence in our* President,
in the love of our country, the success of our
arms, and the righteousness of onr cause'?—
Borne good result may proceed from our
meeting."
The speaker then touched on some other
topics to which we do not deem it prudent
to allude.
After the resolutions had been passed, the
audience called loudly and repeatedly for
Col. William N, Bilbo, who, it -appears, is
a favorite orator amongst the East Tennes
seeans. Mr. Bilbo was unable to resist so
flattering an invitation to speak, and accord
ingly ascended the stage and proceeded to
address a highly appreciative audience. He
said:
H Tennesseeans! I can feci, after the dis-
tinguisned compliment which yon have paid
me, only regret that I had not been fore
warned, and must therefore speak from the
impulse of the moment.
I am truly glad, soldiers and citizens, that
I have met so many of j’ou here to-day, as
fit representatives of the spirit of chivalry
which actuates our people. I need not, Ten
nesseeans, the aggregate of the whole State,
or even of one half, or one third, to be pre- ’
sent, but I look upon you as the impersona
tion, the incarnation, the soirit, the sopl of
Tennessee.
1 need not compliment you especially as
soldiers. Your names, aud your deeds are
all above any compliments which I am able
to bestow upon you. They are written in
the memorable and imperishable records of
nations, and they will be written in every
history of the word. It matters not how
obscure may be the nation, iP the}* contain
any recorda of the history of the efforts of
a people to be lree, they will read with won
der the heroic deeds of Tennesseeans in this
war. As 1 have learned, Tennessee has
contributed more monc\ r , and more of the
sinews of war, for the prosecution of this
war, than an}' other State. (Applause.)
Her soldiSrs have poured out their blood
on every battle field, her sick are to be found
in hospitals iu most, if not all, the States ol
this Confederacy', and they may be-found
upon the streets of all our cities, with one
arm and one leg, aud constitutions impaired
forever, living as exiles from.their homes.—
But wherever they are found, whether in
one State or another,-or even if on board of
ships on the ocean, wherever they arc, there
is the old glorious Commonwealth of Ten
nessee. And, fellow-citizens and soldiers, 1
do not desire any'other Common wealth, any
other country.
Suppose disaster, defeat'comes, and Ten-
nesseaus arc driven from their homes, is that
any reason that brave and indomitable men,
such as Tennesseans are, should lose any ol
the love of liberty and independence for
which they' have been ever distinguished ?
No, fellow citizens ; let us ralher imitate the
example of even the Mexicans, who made
the great sacrifices which history has re
corded to obtain their independence. Let
us cherish the indomitable spirit which will
not yield, and we shall be invincible. The
disposition never to yield to oppression is
what makes a people great, and worthy of
record in history.
Sir, when was it that the spirit of the Ro
mans shone out with such brilliancy as to
attract the admiration of all succeeding
ages? Was ifcrgtot v.’lien Hannibal, victo
rious over twenty nations, having slaugh
tered consul after consult with the armies
whieh they bro^rbt against him, marched
to the very Avails, of Rome and Scipio swore
on his sword that Romans never should be
slaves, and his soldiery firmly resolved to
have victory or a glorious death r And are
we inferior to Romans ? Did Rnmanslove
their country more than we love ours
Were they truer to their wives aud children,
truer to their love of liberty and the rights
of freemen than those whose representatives
I now see before me ? 1 will not disparage
you by r such a comparison. No! if we are
but true to ourselves, true to the manly in :
stinets with which the Creator himself ha3
endowed us we will in time achieve our li
berty and independence.
I! the soul be not conquered, the man can
never be conquered. That spirit which
makes us resolve to be free, makes us lree.
Suppose we have lost territory; that is but
one of the incidents of war; suppose we
have lost property, that was to have been ex
pected, and even exile itself is nothing but
what we might have looked for in a revolu
tion like the one m which our country is now
involved. So far from disheartening usjhese
should rather be regarded as the inseparable
incidents ol the war, and should nerve us to
more heroic deeds to recover that wind? we
have lost; but it should never impair our
spirit of liberty and independenc;. Those
are the gods which we should keep before
us And follow, and following- which, we shall
assuredly be led to victory.
But above all, gentlemen, let us remember
that our country is under the eye of the
Great Intelligence, and though it is not to
be expected in auy war, however just as it
may be, that success wifi always he granted,
yet a revolution like this, involving the lives,
the liberty' and the happiness the mural and
social well-being of a great people like oars,
it is not to be supposed that IIe, who num
bers the hairs ot onr head, and'suffers not a
sparrow to lali without his notice, if he takes
any cognisance of the acts and doings of
nations, will sutler such a people as ours to
be enslaved. If it be true that He will lis
ten to the pmyer of th?iiu%ible, and not suf
fer right aud justice to l>a removed lrom the
earth, w-e shall survive these shocks of bat'
tie and come out ol the revolution. all the
brighter for the hardships through which he
ha § suffered us to pass in gaining our irde-
peadence. As sure as there is a God iu
heaven, we may expect that He will ptotect
us. and that, a bright and gloriou 3 , future
will await ua.

Editor Intelligencer :
It is with feelings of pride, satisfaction aud
renewed hope that, we notice iu your daily
of the 9th inst., the patriotic resolutions of
our good people in the noble old volunteer
county of Carroll, to sustain the families of
oar brave soldiers in the field by selling to
them the necessaries of life at almost old
prices; to frown down all who are so ignor
ant or base, treacherous and cowardly as to
sec-k peace through a reconstruction with
the old Union, which means subjection to
the most inhuman and relentless foe w T ith
whom any brave and patriotic people ever
contended for file, liberty', honor, and all
else a noble race can hold dear.
Old Carroll is poor, in the common accep
tation of that term, but she has proven her
self rich in this coutest in the strong arms
and brave hearts of her sons. Scarcely a bat
tle-field in Virginia, Maryland, the South or
South-West, hut the bones of her slaughter
ed sons are mouldering beneath the sod or
bleaching upon its surface. In this regiment
alone she has lost two companies, the Carroll
Guards and the Villa Rica Gold Diggers.—
These two companies came into the Confed
erate service with about seventy-five men
each ; as their ranks have been reduced by
the casualties of the battle-fields, aud the
ravages of disease, engendered by the hard
ships and exposures of camp life, they have
been filled by the brothers and kinsmen of
the slain till each company lias received
as many recruits as it originally had
numbers, and to-day neither company
has af many names upon its roll as when it
first came into service, and many of those
upon the roll are forever lost to the service
iu consequence of the los3 of limbs, and oth
er wounds received in battle. There are but
very few men in these companies, or iu the
regiment, but bear honorable scars, and to
day we are, if possible, more determined to
be free than when we first entered the ser
vice in June, 1861. The Carroll Guards did
not wait for the enemy to come to their
homes, but met them on Virginia’s Northern
confines, on the dark and bloody waters of
.the Potomac.
The Villa Rica Gold Diggers poured their
glittering dust on one side of the balance
scale, and Liberty on the other, and discov
ered that gold was chaff compared with
Liberty; they, in connexiari with their
brothers of the Carroll Guards, and the bal
ance of this noble old Regiment, met and
assisted in defeating the enemy in seventeen
destructive engagements,[whilst it composed
a part of the glorious old army of Northern
Virginia, and the day after we arrived on
this island, twenty-four of the Gold Diggers
met in open field and killed and captured
between sixty and eighty of the famous 64th
Massachusetts Negro Regiment.
Our old regiment has participated in eve
ry defeat of the enemy in his attempts
against our capital, and we only await his
attempt to take Charleston by infantry, to
prove to him that men who are so depraved
as to fight side by side with negroes,'cannot
stand before the white man of the South in
arms.

moralizing letters from loved ones at home,
complaining of hunger and wrtehedness,
but he will reeeive letters of encouragement;
and if the exigencies of the times will not
admit of his having & furlough, he will be
satisfied to remain in the field and fight on
to the last; he will have confidence that if
he should fall iu the service of his country',
his friends and neighbors at home would
care for and protect the desolate widow and
helpless orphans; these assurances will rob
the battle field of half its terrors, and redou

To the Home Guards note called into service :
I have had a correspondence with Presi
dent Davis upon the subject, and he has
decided that as you were organized under
his requisition upon the State for troops for
home defense, and have been mustered into
Confederate service, it is his right to appoint
the general officers to command you. He
therefore denies my right to command you,
aud advises me that he has directed Brig.
Gen. Howell Cobb to attend-to the organiza
tion of the troops now called out. What
ever may be my opinions of my rigid s, or
the rights of the Stale, in connection with
the command in the present, 3late of the or-,
ganizations, I can have no conflict with the
Confederate authorities in the face of the
enemy—when they are upon our own soil i
threatening our homes. I have, therefore,
in compliance with the directions of the
President, turned over tha command to Gen.
Cobb, an eminent Georgian, well, known to
you all, who is now in Atlanta, to whom all
future communications in reference to sup
plies, details, and other matters connected,
with the organizations, should be addressed.
I shall render Gen. Cobb all the assistance
in my power, and am ready to do all I can
