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: STATE OF GEOIIGIA, , OlWUTEUMASTEK GENERAL’S OFFICE, [- Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 10,18153. ) ludltni J.-ifCligenecr : 1 herewith-enclose you for publication a letter from Hop.

IRA R. FOSTER. Confederate States of America, ) Department of Justice. [- Richmond, Sept. 12,18G3. ) lion. Ira ll. Coster, 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 ! Your obt. servt., 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 ject, would use any means, however dis graceful. QUOTATIONS FROM THE RICHMOND MAR KETS. Gold is selling at f 12 by brokers, the price paid being $10. Silver is dull at $0. No sale of bank notes is reported. Confederate bonds of the cotton interest loan sell at 150; 100 million loan from 105 to 112i and interest. Bonds of 15 million loan at 185 and interest. The flour market remains unchanged from our last quotations. - Wheat is quoted at from $5 to $G per bushel. Corn and oats have declined to $S 25 and 5 50 per bushel. ^Tobacco is unchanged. patriotism, and .dctotion to our Straggling cause penned. Every true son of the South j'ormnlion, and inflicting a fine, should he be 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 —also that Chattanooga, in Tennessee, aud Rome,, in Georgia, have been captured by .

Nor will our noble women fail to exclaim, “Governor Watts is right; rather Ilian be subjugated we .will march to the field ot strife and bare our" bosoms to the ! ullots of the cruel invader.” unable to give his author, or source of infor mation, would speedily silence the army of men engaged incoming reports cither ad verse or favorable to our cause. Dyptheria is prevailing to a great ex tent iu some portions ot \ irgiuia. abandon all concealments, all time servin policy, and say, not only to lm friends, but to the whole con ntry, where he is to be found, aud under wh it banner he lights in this great controversy. I do not refer to Mary land, which has been under the iron heel of the despot, Jand been unable to move hand or fool in vindication of her Southern rights since the war commenced, nor to Missouri and Kentucky, aud portions of Tennessee who, for most of the time, have been placed under‘like painful circumstances, and where the promulgation of their opinions by our friends would be, for the present, unwise and 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 aud factious, all over the Confederate States men who go for the stronger party in this great sectional quarrel, whichever that par ty may turn out to be, and who, in the mean time, endeavor to curry favor with both parties. 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.- Our city Juv3 been thronged, for several days and nights past, with Confederate troops passing im their way to unite their forces witli the army of Johnston and Bragg in Tennessee—now the great center, of milita ry interest to the Confederacy, anil from which wc hope shortly to hear good and cheering news of a great victory obtained over the enemy. The last number of.“the'Record”' con tains a spirited piece of poetry entitled “ the Guerillas,” containing some .five stanzas.— It is not, however, equally good throughout. A very spicy review of “ Iviuglake’s Crime an War,” appears in this number—also commander Maury’s excellent letter to the Editors of the London Times, on the pres ent prospects aut( resources of thc Southern Confederacy. The present number of the Record is very valuable. It contains twelve large quarto pages, beautifully printed on fiue paper. 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.
