Thursday Morning, September 17, 1*€R- FOIt GOVERNOR: JOSEPH K. BROWN. 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. CoL Bilbo closed amid deafening shouts ol applause. Major Campbell was then called upon to For the .Atlanta Intelligencer. OLD CHEBOKEE- AiR_"Bonnie Bhte Ft'ig." When Northern arn>les moved so near.

C., Sept. 1~, oJ. ) 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. address the audience. He rose aud said that after the eloquent remarks to which he had just listened it wai; altogether superfluous to add anything aore. Nor would he by anything he should adfl, weaken the impression w hich he had no doubt bad already been made upon the minds of those who had had the pleasure of listening to the speaker who had, just ta ken his seat. He would, therefore, at the suggestion of another, move that the meet ing do now adjourn. The President put the motion, ami it, was carried.

He has two toothers in the Confederate service—Rich- Tnond Sentinel. fid. me say to the good people of Carrol, carry out your resolutions respecting the furnishing absent soldiers’families the ne cessaries ol life at the low prices mentioned, and let . the p$>ple of every county in the State of Georgia, aiid every county in the Confederate Stales, follow this noble exam ple, and you will deserve and obtain an equal share with the soldiers in the glorjps 'Which'bdr independence will bring; be true to yourselves, and let tho3e things he done, aud the blood-stained but victorious South ern soldier will receive no more of tfiose de 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 ble the bravery of the poor soldier, and straggling in time of batth^wiil be far less than it has been.
