Bragg remained at Chattanooga, Roaecrans
might have crossed Hie mountain, directed
his march to Dalton,forced Bragg to fall back,
and been iuapesilion to unite with Burn

combination with a man whose opinions as
expressed in his recent expose, he is diamet
rically opposed lo, to bo a candidate and
risk his election. Alas, that our passions
lead us to such strange inconsistencies!
We find nothing particularly to applaud
or censure in the sentiments of Major Fur-
low’a address. Like nearly the whole of
our patriotic population ho is lor the prose
cution ot the war, heart-rending though the
straggle be; but we look in vain in this ad
dress for any evidence of profound states
manahip such a3 the helm of our State at
present needs. Major Furlow was cs
nally a secessionist he says, and is one stil 1
why, therefore, wc again ask docs he con
sent indirectly to combine with one holding
sttch different views from those which ho
himself cherishes, for the purpose of dt
feating a tried statesman V And will the
people become privy to such a course to de
feat' their own chosen method oi electing
their Chief Magistrate ’? We shall see ore
long. •
Major Furlow giveau s the main point in
the policy which he would pursue as Gov
emor. He would screen no man from con
scription that the Confederate Government
should declare subject The question might
be asked has Gov. Brown ever shielded any
such ? He interfered it is 4 true to prevent
the militia officers from conscription, and
the points ho made were admitted by the
President, and those officers ot every State
were not conscribed. Why Gov. Brown
interfered in the behalf of this class of ohr
fellow-citizens, he himself has informed us
in hie speech at tho dinner to the Vicksburg
soldiors, a synopsis of which we published
It was not to make pets of Militia Officers
that Governor Brown desired that they
should cot be conscribed, but to provide for
the very contingency winch ha3 happened,
and which he foresaw might happen- -the
neoesoity for providing for the organization
of troops for local defence. And the wisdom
of this measure is made manifest by the
ease with which double the number of troops
asked lor by tbo President.^>r„]ocal defend
was raised in Georgia. Notwithstanding
Gov. Brown believed in the uneonslitution-
ality of the law, and flaw no necessity for it,
and believed that the spirit, of volunteering
and the resort to drafts by Slates would
raise all the troops possible to be raised, yet
ho has never interposed any obstacle to the
free exercise of the not in Georgia, aud has
even lent all the aid in his power to len
der it more effectual. Nov what more
could Mr. Furlow do, if he were Governor,
toward rendering the conscript act effective?
Major Furlow, we are glad to learn from
his address, would provide for the wants of
the soldiers and soldiers’ families if he wGre
elected Governor, though he did vote, as we
see by the Journal of the Senate, against the
motion to strike out the smallest amount na
med iu the bill, which motion did prevail,and
a larger amount was inserted. Now when
Mr. Furlow is a candidate for Governor, he
is willing to do all lor soldiers’ families in
his power, but when, as a Senator, lie was
called on to vote to strike out “two millions,”
which was deemed by the Senate too small
an amount, that three millions might be in
serted, Mr. Furlow votes in the negative, for
what good reasons let him explain to the
people, or let the “Recorder" at Milledgcville
do so tor him!

Our government and our generals have
uniformly set a laudable example of prudent

reserve has sometimes met tho disfavor of
the people and the press—possibly, to some

shown it to have been wise.
On several memorable occasions, such as
the movements fromCentreville,from York-
town aud from Corinth, silence in campaign
ing has proved a golden virtue. It involved
some sacrifice of property, but with what
grand results! Nor is scarcely anything in
our military history finer than the perect
order, confidence and buoyancy with which
the troops made those long retrograde
marches, in utter ignorance, but trusting im
plicitly that every backward step was taken
only to acquire new v.gor for an early ap
proaching onset. Such conduct would have
been creditable to an old army, but it was
glorious for a new one.
M A J. FUELOW’S ADDRESS.
l ia- enemieB of Governor Brown have
long been exercised to find some one candi
date, or a number of candidates with whom
they might deteat the election of his Excel
ienoy at ilui-pojls in October next, and loav
to the"General Assembly of Georgia the
business of deciding who shall be our nest
Governor.
For this purpose the first- candidate they
brought forward was the Hon. Joshua ftill
of Morgan county, the other, Maj. Furlow,
r of Sumter county; and ihe reason they have
not brought iorward others, is that the rtis
tinguished men whom they desired, to use
lor the purpose, doubtless felt a degree of
repugnance to being.made parties to any
such transaction.
Two, however, have consented to tho use
of their names, and however diverse their
sentiments on the vital questions which have
been forced on the people by a few malcon
tents, they arc both agreed in that one dear
and cherished object, to prevent the election
of Governor Brown by the people, or other
wise ; and arc, therefore, so far as this ob
ject is concerned, par nobilo fralrtim, a no
ble pair of brothers. They do not unite, but
they\combine; but whether the objoct lor
which they combine is a laudable one, or
otherwise, it is for the people in October to
determine.
Maj. Furlow goes so Tar as lo administer a
scathing rebuke to liis partner, Mr. Hill.—
He informs us that he had never heard that
the Union was broken up in order to render
it more permanent, until it was broached by
Mr. Hill iu liia recent letter to Mayor Cal
houn and others, of this city, and then goes
on to argue against such an idea with great
zeal—altogether forgetting the mean
while, his copartnership with Mr. TTill, whom
he terms “ the distinguished Georgian.”
Mr. Furlow is coo conscientious to con-
‘ * al anything rtf opinion or design, or to re-
*°ri, to any claptrap of studied silence, or of.
concealing uia opinions, ardently as he may
desire to prevent the re-election of the pres
ent Chill Magistrate, hy the people—for we
cannot seriously 3uppc.ee that he regards his
own election by them ,, Hmnng X thill ^
A WORD OF ADVICE AND CAUTION.
Now that the enemy is within tiie borders
of our State, we would call the especial at
tention of every citizen to the subjoined re
marks, extracted from a number of that ex
cellent publication, tho Richmond “Recor
der,” and would add, not only is a discreet
reticent* due from every patriot, but that on
every occasion where news of the strength,
movements or machinations of the enemy
may be in possession of any resident, let him
immediately convey it to the nearest high
military authority; let him not deem it of but
little importance, because he and his whole
neighborhood may chance to know it; for
foots of but little importance in the eyes of
the citizen, may be of the greatest momenbin
a military point of view; and that so cur
rently known in a smali neighborhood, and
which could very speedily be communicated,
might bo Searched for by a commander for a
long time in vain.
As an instance, the other day some 2500 of
the enemy might have fallen into the hands
of Gen. Forrest, if some citizen of the neigh
borhood through which they passed, had
given timely knowledge of their strength.—
And as an instance of the lack of reticence,
we might mention the iase ol the Postmas
ter at Tunnel Hill, who, we are informed,
when the Yankees came into the place,-in
stead of secreting or destroying the irdli!, as
ho might easily have done, atouce met them
at the door with it, thus unwittingly giving
them probably the very information desired
with regard to the progress of their move
ment:

MOSSY’S LAST SAID, IN WHICH HE WAS
WOUNDED.
On the 25th of August, Maj. Mosby took
25 men, aud retaining 10 under his immedi
ate command, gave the command of 15 to
Lieut. Turner. His scouts had informed
hfm that there was gamo in the neighbor
hood, and for three days the men lay in tho
pines watching for it to come within their
toils. On the 25th, when nigh Goodwya’s
Store, six miles from Alexandria, a drove of
horses, about two hnndred in number, was
descried coming up tho road from the direc
tion of Alexandria. A guard of seventy-live
cavalry accompanied the drove, with fifteen
men mounted and leading. Maj. Mosby
quickly disposed of liis command, sending
Lt. Turner to the front, and himself making
a detour, and getting in the rear. Mosby,
with his usual dash aud impetuosity, attack
ed a little too soon, before Turner could get
in their front. With his handful of ten men
he drove the Yankees back two hundred
yards, when half of the men .dismounted and
took to the tavern and out-buildings, from
which secure cover they oponed lire on Mas
by and his uncovered men. While charging
upon the house Mosby was struck in the side
the ball inflicting a flesh wound. lie eon
tinned to fight- on, and was again wounded
this time in the thigh, but lie Still retained
his seat in the saddle.
Meanwhile, Lieut. Turner had attacked
and charged tho enemy. He came down
with a volley and a yell. The horses were
stampeded, and tho sand being very deep in
the road, such a dust was perhaps never
kicked up before. Friend and foo wero
hardly distinguishable. As soon as iho Yan
kees saw him coming they dismounted and
formed a breastwork of their horses, lashing
them together by the bridle bits. Lt. Turn
er charged, firing right and left, and-cutting
and slashing, effected a junction with M09-
by on the other side. The Yankees, w.ho
had not galloped oft, or been cut down, then
surrendered. The fight l isted about thirty
minutes, and in that tiine Mosby’s men killed
fifteen of the Yankees, wounded as many
more, took twelve prisoners, and one hun
dred norses—all our men could lead away
and manage, their number being so small.
The Yankee captain and four sergeants were
killed, and toe four remaining sergeants ta
ken prisoners. Mosby’s loss was private
Charles Shriver, of Frederick, Maryland,
killed; Lt. Smith, mortally wounded, and
privates Colburn and.Semon, slightly woun
ded.
After th'-' fight was over. Major Mosby
called out Surgeon Dunn, of his command,
and rode off about two hundred yards,where
he dismounted and laid upon the grass, and
Surgeon Duan applied bandages and madi-
cinaL applications. Immediately after dis
mounting, Major Mosby’s horse fell down
and died on the spot, from wounds he
shared with liis daring rider in tho fight.—
Surgeon Duun dismounted aud gave up his
horse to the wounded Major. He was then
conveyed from thence to his father’s home
in Amherst county, where lie remains for the
present.
Tho Yankees, learning the route Mosby
had taken, sent two brigades of infantry and
one of cavalry to cut oil' and capture him,
and also sen!, one regiment after Lieutenant
Turner, who had started off towards the
moutains with the prisoners and horses. It
is well known that both succeeded in es
caping.
The following incident related as .hav
ing taken place after the surrender of the
Yankees. The Yankee Captain surrendered
to Dr. Jones, but immediately after drew
his revolver and fired every barrel at him.
Jones had emptied his revolver, but not to
be outdone in compliment, threw his pistol
at the Captain, who tref'w his in return, and
both went, at it a 11 Heenan and 8ayora.—
Some of Dr. Jone J men coming up, tho
Captain was shot down dead for tea trea
chery.
' Lieutenant Turner sot out on another tan
gent bn Saturday, and tho Yankees have
heard from him ere this. Mean whim the
wounded Mosby is chafing like a caged lion
longing for his accustomed hunt.
THE POLISH WOMAN’S PATRIOTISM-
“Suwloiska, open the window ; I desiro to
die in the sounds of the church bells!”
Suwloiska had not courage to obey. Bhc
looked pensively nt her mother.
“My daughter, is not this the Sabbath .
The hour of prayer has come. Help the oiu
mother to prostrate herself before our goo a
Godand, pious child, the young woman
helped her mother to kneel.
“Suwloiska, I implore thee, my daughter,
open the window, in order that I may ne»
the hymns of the church.” ...
She opened the window on the puoiio
square in which the church was situated,an
tnen returned, and sat* down at the feet
her silent mother. .
“Suwloiska, I do not hear the sound ol me
bells.”
“Not hear!”
“It is the cannon.”
‘‘Yes, mother, they have come flow n in m
the steeple of tho church to kill the hns-
sians.”
“God is with us.”
The mother listened again.
“What has nappened, my daughter t'mn
a single chant, not one voice In the church.
What is oiir priest doi<>g‘'"
“He has turned soldier.”
“Let us pray to God for him. Ho has
prayed for us often enough. It was ho who
blessed thy marriage, my daughter. on
well do I remember it. Thou wert bcauti
ful; I had dressed thee myself Then tho
bells rang out joyfully. Then on tby knees,
before the altar, thou didst promise fidelity
to tby Suwloiski.”
“I have kept my oath,” replied the young
woman, blushing with pleasure.
The aged mother pressed the hand of her
daughter closely in liers—but,suddenly start
ing, sho exclaimed in a shrill voice, “Where
is thy wedding ring ?”
“I have given it away,” said the daugh
ter, holding down her head.
Suwloiska, has God reserved such a por
tion for my old age 1 Oh, my daughter, who
has caused thee to forget, to such an extent,
thy duties as a wife ? That ring the token of
an eternal covenant between Suwloiski and
thee! what hast thou done witli itV To whom
hast thou given it V
“To Poland,” and she raised her head
with confidence. “Our husbands are soldiers,
our church-bells have been melted into can
non, our collars, our ear-rings, our pearls
have beon bartered for muskets. We wives
had no longer anything to give, and never-,
tholes?, Poland lacked powder. Well, there
are aixthonsand of us already, who have for
our couutry made a sacrifice of the only
property which remained to us, that which
a woman esteems of all ornaments the most
precious in the world, our marriage rings.—
We have, given the n up to purchase pow
der.”
Tho aged mother slipped from her finger
the golden covenant, wnich she had thought
she should never part with; and after having
kissed it repeatedly, she wiped her eyes and
said ;
“Buwloiska, tako this ring; sell it with
1 bine. Go, my daughter, toll our victory;
for the country in which wives sell their
wedding ring9 to buy powder is lree. Perish
the Russians; Suwloiska, open all the win
dows. I desire to die in the sound ot the
cannon.”

SPECIAL NO TICES
U
Not to mk Conquered.—The imp«sta
bility of our subjugation, remarks the Rich
mond Whig, is shown, among a thousand
other proofs, by the increased difficulty with
which objects *are accomplished now, that,
in the beginning of the war, were achieved
with comparatively inconsiderable trouble.
With the indifferent ordnance .and inexperi
enced artillerymen at his command, General
Beauregard compelled Fort Sumter to sur
render in a day and a half. Now the same
work has withstood for two months a tem
pest of the most destructive projectiles ever
used, from soa as well as shore, and still bids
defiance to its assailants. So in the first
sumtnor and fall of the war, earthworks at
Hattoras Inlet and Port Royal were reduced
in a few hours by United States vessels oi
war. But Fort Wagner, built in the same
way, withstood for more than 50 days the
combined cannonading of the land and na
val batteries, and repulsed repeated efforts
to carry it by storm. As the war goes on,
we grow in skill, in endurance, in the art of
seLf-proteciion, and in obstinacy of purpose.
Tho enemy makes progress, but it is slower
and slower, like tho moving of a body whose
momentum is nearly spent. This slacken
ing and waning or power to advance will
grow more perceptible as they get further
nland, and as hy compression we'are forced
into the policy of concentration. Every
movement then wifi make them weaker and
ourselves stronger,, till a point is reached
when they can advaqpe no further. Then
wifi come our opportunity. Too distant
rom their own country for safety by flight,
and too remote for succor, they will be at
our mercy—and our armies, Jike savage ani
mals driven to bay, will spring on them and
tear them in piece?.. Let us be patient. The
time will yet come when a revenge that
would satiate the most merciless wilf’be m
our power.

Daring the French invasion and occupa
tion oi Spain, nothing so much Interru ated
tbe continuity and marred the completeness
ot the successes ol' the foreign army, as the
difficulty of obtaining information of the re
sources and designs ot the Spaniards. Nei -
ther the local newspapers nor provincial gar-,
rulity, ever ungardedly betrayed a fact that
would aid the enemy in their military opera
tions, nor could the fear of death itself extort
from a native anything that it would be ser
viceable for them to know. Even village rr os-
sip was hushed in the presence of tbe foe or
the informer, and the patriot nursed liis
wrongs in silence.
A similar experience attended our armies
in Mexico, among a people retaining some
thing of the caution ot the parent race. To
the United fetates troops, all outside of their
encampments and the roads that lay bet ween
them, remained during the war as unknown j
as uncertain, and dangerous, as if hostile ar
mies pervaded the whole territory. Unfor- |
tunately for us of the Confederate States, j
our people, like the Athenians of old, are* j
lovers of news, gossip and discussion,’ and j
have not learned as citizens or soldiers, the i
vital importance of reticence in their publi
cations and correspondeaces’; in their ctmp-
fire talks, nor yet in their personal inter
course with the enemy. It would not be
difficult to point out disasters, which may
be directly traced to improper, careless state, business.
Excjtemtcnt in Georgia.—The election
excitement in Georgia reminds us of the old
time. It is getting so warm that “ traitor”
is not an uncommon word of tho vocabulary
of the papers.
For Congress aud the Legislature the can
didates are as thick as autumn leave?. Thet
is no way of enumerating them. For Gov
ernor there are three candidates; namely,
Joseph E. Brown, the incumbent; .Joshua
Hill; and a late nominee, Major T. M. Fur
low. The excitement is mainly confined to
this branch of the popular service. Every
one knows what Brown’s position is. He is
the Governor, and as jealous ot tho rights
of the State as a hen can be of her one chick
en. If lie err, it is on virtue’s side. His
whole soul seems to be occupied by one pur
pose, and that is lo defeat tho Yankees.—
Having a profound respect for the loyalty of
Georgia, wc have a right to expect that he
will be elected by a largo majority.
Hill is a man of marked ability. Ho is
an accompfished gentleman in the manaoe-
mect of our English tongue—a scholar,
doubtless, more than a man ot sc lion. He
splits oa terms, and is very careful in his use
of them. A recent letter defining his posi
tion lacks a good deal of what we sinmld
think the loyal people of Georgia desire, and
is certainly liable to a construction which
implies, if not proves, a want of earnestness
in the cause of the country. .
Major Fallow has abo published a letter,
and a very well written one. The central
idea of it is respect for the President, and
a determination to give him a hearty sup
port .
The election is to iji'heid on the first Wed
nesday of next month. The soldiers of the
State, no matter where they may be, have a
right to vote. In all probability, they will ■
support Gov. Brown.—SfoMla Tribune..

W orks.—a. Lancaster correspondent of the

with an account of the destruction of “Hon.”

of that State. The following paragraph, if

Tim order was given to remove all tho

roiling saw mill, blacksmith shops, storehoa-
‘ Bes i wagon houses, and sheds were reduced

In providing for a large and profitable
olast, Mr. Stevens had at great expense
laid in a large stock of anthracite and char
coal, and provisions and stores lor the com
ing seasoD, all ot which were carried away
or destroyed. Several hogsheads of bacon,
sugar and molasses and several thousand
bushels of wheat, rye, oats and corn were
appropriated tor rebel use. The fences and
some of the dwelling houses were torn down
and heaped against the piles of coal, and
thus reduced to ashes. Wood was piled on
oaeh of the platform scales and fired; and
thus even to the smallest degree nothing was
lets undone to make the destruction of Mr.
Stephens’ property complete. The loss, as
estimated by the manager, amounts to ninety-
thousand dollars.
It is indicative of rebel spite against the
proprietor that o'the three extensive iron
works within the sweep of a seven-miles
radius, only those belonging to M r. Stevens
were destroyed; tho other works guttered
no damage beyond tho loss ol horses.

By an estimate made by the Adjutant Gene

furnished 16.U92 soldiers to the Army of the
Confederate States. The largest vote ever
polled in this State waa 12,898. Florida,
then, has furnished to the Confederate Army
3,194 troops in excess of her entire voting
population. In the foregoing estimate are
not included the men between forty and
forty-fire, recently called into service.—

Permanently disabled from rejoining my
regiment, in compliance with the expressed
wishes of many triends, as well as in accord
with my own feelings, I announce myself as
a candidate lo represent you in the House
of Representatives of the next Confederate
Congress.
My physical condition will prevent, me
from visiting the several counties of the
District, and seeing my lellow-citizens, ci
ther at public meetings or in private inter
course.
Should it be your pleasure to’ elect me, I
can only say that I will discharge the duties
of the office to the best of my ability.
But, whether elected or not, whether in or ;
out of Congress, I wish it distinctly under- j
stood that I am utterly opposed, and will I
never consent, under any cirumstancep, to ■
any compromise or settlement with' the
Abolition Government at. Washington, short i
of a full and complete recognition ol our In- ;
