PRESIDENT DAVIS TO GOVER
NOR BROWN.
. ‘‘hi conclusion I take great pleas
ure in recognising that the history
<>f the past year affords the amplest
justification for your assertion, that
ii the fjnestion Iiau been, whether
tiie conscription law was necessary
in order to raise men in Georgia,
the answer must have been in the
negative. Your noble State lias
promptly responded to every call
that it 1ms been my duty to make
on her, and to you, personally, as
her Executive, I 1 acknowledge my
indebtedness for the prompt, cordial
and effective co-operation you lmve
afforded me in the effort to defend
our common country against the
conmion enemy."—Jefferson Davis.
DEATH OF MAJ. JOHN S. ROWLAND.
We arc pained to announce the death of
t iiid /gentleman, who expired at Ids residence
m Harlow county on Friday evening, after a
: lort but severe ilines?. In Ins death tlie
State has lost a faithful public officer, who,
as Superintendent of the State, or Western
iV" Atlantic Railroad, labored most efficient
ly to promote the public interests, as well as
those of the Road. He lias died full of
years, honored and beloved by all who
knew him. Peace to his ashes !
How many families in Georgia have
been bcncfilled by Gov. Brown’s silt con
tract, with the works in Virginia ? it has
produced pamphlets, a ml electioneering doc
uments, but what else?—Sun.
Our cotemporary exhibits in the above
s juib an amount of ignorance which Was
hardly to be expected of an enlightened
journal. For the special edification of our
neighbor wc will state that 588 families in
Muscogee county (time are beneficiaries of
“ Gov. fifbwn’s salt contract,” each of that
mmib-T having received, or will icceivc on
application this year, one half bushel of the
prettiest salt in the - world. These facts we
got from ('apt. James Everett, who, as agent
of .the “ Columbus Relief Association,” .is
charged with the distribution of.the salt..—
We modestly suggest that wove our 'cotem
porary to pay less attention to “ pamphlets
and electioneering documents,” and give
more time to the study ot facts, lie might
commit fewer errors.— Col. Times.
We clip the foregoing from the Columbus
Times of Friday last. Well may that paper
charge upon the Columbus Sun “ an amount
of ignorance which was hardly to be ex
pcctcd of an enlightened journal.” But
what i3 the public to expect from a journal
that exhibits as much of malevolence as
ignorance, whenever it refers io matters con
nected^ with the affairs ofl our State, or to
Our public men, especially to Gov. Brown ?
The. “ Sun's ” editor is too recently a citizen
of Georgia to “ assume the proportions ” lie
docs, lie had better “ bide his time” and
‘ perpetrate” something upon which lie can
lay “the flattering unction to liis soul,” that
his censures are not praise. Among his other
petty squibs, we notice that he charges
“Gov. Brown’s organ at Atlanta,” with
having “originated” the ciy of “traitor,”
and says “ the term was intended to cmtPTace
all those opposed to it in its choice for Gov
ernor.” Doubtless the Editor of the “Sun”
meant this journal when he wrote “Gover
nor Brown’s organ in Atlanta.” We there
fore reply that we are the “organ” of no
man, and as for the stupid charge tlial the
term “traitor,” wlicu used by us, “ was
intended to embrace all those opposed to it
(us) in its (our) choice for Governor,” we
have only to pronounce it false, involving as
much “ignorance,” or want of sense, as his
salt paragraph does. When we use the term
“ traitor ” in the future, as we have done in
i he past, no sensible man shall misunderstand
i<> whom we design to apply it. The “galled
jade will be sure to wince”—none oilier.
Upon the salt question we shall, in a lew
days, give such information to our readers
as will make the “ Sun ” slied am more rays
of light, if it, under its present Editor, ever
dhl shed any.
A PATRIOTIC LETTER FROM THE HON. T. H.
- WATIS, GOVERNOR ELECT OF ALABAMA.
“ Whispered,” as it was immediately aner
the late-election in Alabama for Governor of
that State, in this and other sections of Geor
gia, by designing parlies, that the successful
candidate, the Hon. T. IJ Watts favored
“reconstruction,” and circulated, as the base
report was, secretly' by “reconslructiouisfs”
among the timid and Weak-kneed, in order
to effect a political purpose; Col. Ira R.
Foster, Quartermaster General of this State,
addressed a letter to Mr, Watts on this sub
ject, apprising that distinguished and patri
otic gentleman of the false charge, which,
w ith Col. Foster's note to us, we give to our
‘readers:

Q. M. Gen. of Ga,
Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear Sir.—I have today received your
letter of the 1st inst., forwarded to me lrom
Montgomery, Ala., and hasten to reply.—
You say that my name, since the Alabama
election^ lias been freely used by many in
connection with “reconstructionmeaning
thereby that some people in Georgia sup
pose I am in favor of re union with the
Yankee Government of the North. I am
surprised and mortified that anybody in the
South should so interpret the Alabama elec
tiom If those who claim my election as in
dicating any such feeling in Alabama, had
real my letter of 21st March to Gen. Law
ler, and my short address to the people of
Alabama, dated Sth June last, they would
never have entertained such false notion.
It is due to the gallant people of qyy State
to call attention to the resolutions of the re
cent called session of the Legislature, passed
unanimously, pledging all the men and re
sources of the Stale to prosecute the war
until the independence of the Confederate
States is fully established.
For myself, 1 will not forfeit my self-res
peel by arguing the question of “ rcconstruc
lion.”
lie who is now, deliberately or otherwise,
in favor of 41 reconstruction” with the States
under Lincoln’s dominion, is a traitor in his
heari to the State of his residence and to the
Confederate States, and deserves a traitor
doom. If 1 had the power; I would build
,up a wall oj fire between Yankcedom and
the Confederate States, there to burn, for
ages, as a monument ol the folly, wicked
ness and vandalism of the puritanic race
No sir! rallicr than re-unite with such a
people, 1 would sec the Confederate States
desolated .with fire and swo*d.
When the men of the South shall become
such base cowards as to wish for such re
union, let us call on the women of the South
to march to the battlefield, and in the name
of the God of justice, bid them fifffii under
the ‘banner of Southern liberty ! The call
would not be made iu vain. Let the patriot
sires, whose children have bared their breasts
to Yankee bullets, and welcomed glorious
deaths, in this struggle lor self-government,
rebuke the foul spirit which even whispers
reconstruction”! Let the noble mothers,
whose sons have made sacred with their
blood so many fields consecrated to Free
dom, rebuke the fell heresy ! Let our blood
stained banners now unfurled “to the battle
and the breeze,” rebuke the cowardice and
cupidity which suggest “ reconstruction.”—
The spirits of our heroic dead—the martyrs
to our sacred cause, rebuke—a thousand
limes rebuke, “ reconstfaction ” /
We have little cause for despondency
none for despair! Let us nerve ourselves
afresh for the contest; and let .us not forget
1 that
-‘Preeilnu’s battle, once begun,
Bequeathed fron: bleeding sire to son,
Though bulled oft, is ever won !’’
If wc are true to ourselves; true to the
memories of the jiast; true to our homes
and our firesides, and true to our God, we
cannot, wc will not be conquered! In any
and in every event, let us prefer death, to a
life of cowardly shame !

T. H WATTS.
If auy traitor in our State, or any “recon
structionist” can find a foord of comfort in
the foregoing, let him enjoy it! Of.all men
in the South to select as a ‘reconstructionist*
Mr. Watts, we think, should be the last; and
when lie is assigned such a position it is only
by some evil-disposed and treacherous indi
vidual, or what is as bad, by some base pc-
Litical trickster, who, to accomplish an ob

graceful.

patriotism, and .dctotion to our Straggling

VERY APPROPRIATE FOR OUR STATE.
Under the heading of “A hint to all whom
it may concern,” a correspondent of the
Richmond Sentinel takes the liberty of call
ing the attention of our legislators to an old
law, the re-enactment of which may have a
tendency to suppress a prevailing mischief-
The law referred to is “An Act against df
vulgers of false news,” passed 27th Decem
ber, 1792, and which is as follows:
“Whereas, Many idle and busy-headed
people do forge and divulge false rumors and
reports, Be it therefore enacted by the General
Assembly, that what person or persons so
ever shall forgo or divulge any such false re
ports, tending to the trouble of the country,
he shall be by the next justice of the peace
sent for, and hound over to the next county
court, jyhc^,if he produce not his author, he
shall be fined forty dollars, aud besides, give
bond for his good behavior, if it appear to
the court that he did maliciously publish or
invent it.” F.
The passage of such au act by our State
Legislature at its next session would, we are
sure, have a good effect on our State, filled
as it is with men, whose sole object appears
to be the manufacturing of rumors that
either create undue elation or cause the peo
ple to feel dispirited. Here, iu our own good
city, the news mongers aud “busy-headed’»
people arc from morning till night forging
reports of some disaster to our arms, or some
reat victory that was won only in their im
aginations. The first of these are promul
gated by traitors, the second by our enthusi
astic stay-at-home patriots, but each of them
are baneful and disastrous in its effects, and
tends to weaken the confidence of the peo-’
pie, or, what is worse, to buoy them up for
a moment with rumors of victoiy which,
proving false, acts upon them, if anything
worse than evil reports.
The passage of such au act worded so as
to compel every man heard giving publicity
to rumors, that the majority of the public
are ignorant of, to tell where he got his in-
SpeoUl Correspondence of the Atlanti Intelligencer.
FROM RICHMOND.
Richmond, Sept 13th, 1863.
In the Senate of Virginia, on Friday, Mr.
Dulaney,of,Fairfax, introduced a timely pre.
amble and joint resolutions on the war and
its present aspects, pledging Virginia to lis
ten to no terms of peace and compromise,
short of the recognition of the separate in
dependence of the Confederate States. The
war has now lasted two years and a half,
and ha3 served to try severely f not only the
feelings, but the principles of our people.—
It is well tliftt some such test as these Reso
lutions supply, should be employed by our
Legislatures in order to separate the dross
from the pure gold, both among rulers and
people, and to ascertain who are the friends,
and W'ho the enemies, of the Confederate
cause. In a w r ord, it is time that every man
be seen. The principal objection to the pro
position probably is, not that ii might not
contribute largely to sustain the credit of
the Confederacy, but that by establishing a
money partnership between the Confer cia
cy and the States, it would destroy the rela
tion which now exists between them as prin
cipal and agent, and confound the separate
functions of the Confederate and State gov
ernments.
Mr. Ilaymond, of Braxton, introduced a
resolution which produced no little fluttering
among the brokeftj and blockade runners,
viz: that it be referred to the Committee of
Courts of Justice to inquire into the expedi
ency of punishing by imprisonment in the
Penitentiary parties dealing in Federal mon
ey; and of making traffic in bank-notes,gold
and silver, a high misdemeanor, and also of
the propriety of abolishing brokerage in the
State. The passage of such a resolution by
the Legislature of Virginia is called for at
this time, and if its members have courage |
enough to pass it, they will do themselves
credit’and the State much service.
There seems to be a disposition iu the Leg
islature, I am 1 happy to say, to dispatch busi
ness, and to confine itself to the important
subject recommended for its special consid
eration by the Executive.
A rumor i; in circulation in town to day
that the great gun recently placed iu position
on the Charleston B rttery, and which was
expected to deal destruction among the ene
my’s fleet, has exploded under its first charge

to the whole con ntry, where he is to be found,

Unnecessary; but I speak more particularly
of those States where the Southern rights
cause is. in the ascendancy, and where its
enemies avert or covert, are in a minority—
where,.consequently, we have not only the
right to insist on allegiance, but to punish
treachery and all kinds of resistance to law
ful authority. Tories, ». c., Unionists, aud
Recoustructionists, are to be found, not only
in Western Virginia, where they have thrown
off all disguise, but they are known to be
lurking about, in larger or smaller squads

great sectional quarrel, whichever that par

time, endeavor to curry favor with both

Some of them, entertaining thc belief that
the Federals will ultimately prevail and
subjugate the South, are preparing M ad
vance to secure their favor by holding se
cret correspondence with them and com
municating important intelligence to them,
but whether still on the fence, looking now
on this side, now on that, and doubtful as
to the side they will ultimately take, or
whether actually committed by covert and
criminal acts to espouse the cause of the en
emy; whether they are inclined to the cause
of the old Union, openly avowing their pre
dilections, or have only whispered them to
their friends under injunctions not to betray
them ; whether they are menof feeble prin
ciple or of no principal at all, and indifferent
to the result of the present contest, provided
only they subserve their own interest, it is
very certain that au inconsiderable number
are to be found in every community; some
of them politicians aspiring to the honors of
the Government, and all of them pursuing
the means of a livelihood among us, and all
either uuviliable men or raise-hearted knaves
and who tve generally to be classified as
tories, Unionists, reconstructionists, ene
mies to the South—men cither of doubtful
or dangerous characters and aims. While
our Generals and soldiers have been prose
cuting the war to the best of their ability,
and the Government has been providing
them with means to enable them to do it
with advantage, these men have been watch
ing the course of events at home, concert
iag their plans, and preparing for any emer
gency that may occur, Legislatures may put
their own members through the crucible by
subjecting them to the test which is pre
sented by the passage of such resolutions as
those of Mr. Dulaney, but this not enough
to check the progress and defeat the aims of
party secretly or openly opposed to the
Confederate cause and to the recovery and
maintenance of our separate independence.
Fine and imprisonment, banishment ami
confiscation of goods, are the penalties to
which such timeserving, double-dealing,
two-faced traitors should be summarily sub
jected. The mere denunciation of their
purposes aud acts will be of little avail, un
less the Government takes hold ot the mat
ter with a strong hand and furnishes, in the
shape of positive enactments, remedies or
preventions of the evils complained of, and
which are approaching and invading the
very seat of life of the body politic.
In the House, the same day, Mi. Woodley
of Upshur, brought up a resolution of im
portance, offered by him a few days ago, to
instruct the committee on Confede rate Re
lations to inquire into the expediency of
opening a correspondence with the other
Confederate States ot America, as to the
propriety of issuing State bonds to the
amount of the outstanding bonds ot the
Confederate Government, with a view to
the absorption of the same; and farther
with a view of recommending to the Con
federate Government a system of taxation
for the future, according to the estimates to
be made by its Executive to the Congress
thereof annually. How far the other States
of the Confederacy, or Congress, may be
disposed to entertain suggestions or recom
mendations in reference to this subject, com
ing from the State of Virginia, remains to
’ wants confirmation, which, 1 trust, it will
not receive.-

It is not, however, equally good throughout.
A very spicy review of “ Iviuglake’s Crime

commander Maury’s excellent letter to the
Editors of the London Times, on the pres

Confederacy. The present number of the
Record is very valuable. It contains twelve
large quarto pages, beautifully printed on

Fernando Wood has published in the New
York papers liis correspondence with Abra
ham Lincoln in December last, about which
so many unfounded rumors were circulated
at the tirnr. Mr. Wood says that on tlio
25ill November, of list year, somebody—he
does not say who—but a reliable gentleman,
informed him that the Southern States would
send representatives to the next Congress
provided a, full and general amnesty should
permit them to do it.
Mr. Lincoln replies, that he suspects Mr.
Wood’s information will prove groundless ;
but, if otherwise, aud a wish should be ex
pressed to reconstruct thc Union, no imped
iments would be thrown in the way by him,
and the war would thenceforth cease. While
he should not object, Lincoln says, to have
his letter, dated Dec. 12, ’62, made part ot
history, he thinks it would be better to post
pone its publication.
There is no danger, certainly, that Mr,
Lincoln will, in our day, be called ou to aid
iu the reconstruction of the Union, or that
any efforts on his part to that end, will make
part of history. CLIO.

Fight near Jonesboro’.—The Abingdon
Virginian of Friaday last says that Gen.
Jackson telegraphed to Bristol on Tuesday
night that, with the aid of Giltner’s Ken
tucky caxaly, he had succeeded in capturing
thc whole marauding force that has infested
upper East Tennesseee for thc last ten days.
Having recived information that the enemy
were.at Telford’s Station, some live or six
miles west of Jonesboro, quietly regaling
themselves. Col. Gillner made a flank move
ment to their rear, and Gen. Jackson com
ing up in front, a short but fierce battle en
sued, resulting in the capturo of the entire
Federal force, consisting of four hundred
regular soldiers and about one hundred
East Tennessee tories. The “Virginian”
says: .
Since the above was put in type we have
confirmation of the fact, and learn that 250
prisonsrs are to be s§fit to this point for safe
keeping.
We learn this (Thursday) morning, that
the prisoners passed here after midnight on
their way to Richmond. Whether or not
tiie two hundred and fifty comprised the
whole we are not informed. All previous
accounts concurred in estimating them at
fair or live hundred.—Rich. Eng.
