FOR GOVERNOR :

PRESIDENT DAVIS TO GOVER
NOR BROWN.
‘‘In conclusion I take great pleas
ure in recognizing that the history
of the past year affords the amplest
justification tor your assertion, that
it 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
that it has been my duty to make
on her, and to you, personally, as
her Executive, I acknowledge my
indebtedness for the prompt, cordial
and effective co-operation you have
afforded me in the effort to defend
our common country against the
common enemy.”—Jefferson Davis.

HOWELL COBB-THE GEORGIA STATS
TROOPS.
We‘ arc gratified at feeling authorized to
announce the promotion by President
Davis of Bn to adieu General Conn to the
rank of Major General, and of his being
assigned to the command of the Georgia
State forces, now being organized into regi
ments, brigades and divisions in this vicin
ity. The news of the merited promotion of
this distinguished and gallant Georgian will
be received with unusual gratification by
Georgians in the Confederate Army wher
ever they may be, while we are sure that no
appointment to command our State forces,
which the President could have made,
would have been, to say the least of it, as
popular and as acceptable to them. We
have conversed with a number of the officers
and men attached to tUcsc forces, and they
all assure us that they arc delighted with
the knowledge that they arc to be led by
General Cobb, a:-ul will enthusiastically fol
low wherever he may lead them to defend
Georgia from the invading foe.
I3F’ Col. E. P. Watkins’ answer to the
query propounded to the candidates in this
county lor Senator and Representatives in
the next General Assembly, as to who they
will each vote for Governor, appears in an
other column. It i3 brief aud to the poiut.
Col. W. will vote for Governor Brown.
THE SITUATION IN FRONT.
A GREAT BATTLE IN GEORGIA.
We have received from numerous and
trustworthy sources some particulars of the
great conflict between our forces and the
enemy’s, which commenced on Saturday the
19tli, continued all day Sunday, aud which
wo confidently hope will be brought on this
day (Monday) to the glorious consummation
of victory to.our arms. From our owu cor
respondent, “299," who is near the field of
strife, we have obtained some information
which is given iu its proper place. Other
particulars we now give.
The attack on the enemy’s lines was made
caily Saturday morning about 8 miles north,
west from Ringgold on this side of the Chick-
amauga, on Frazer’s farm, by the forces un- I
reach us. For instance, we can hardly be
lieve that the report of General Wofford
being killed is true. He was in this city only
two days ago, but had gone onward to the
scene of conflict.
Since writing the above, we have received
the Press reports which differ, to some ex
tent, from the accounts given above, and to
which we refer our readers.
Again ! We are assured that a large num
ber of Yankee prisoners have been captured
—1500 ready for shipment and more arri
ving. The latest news is cheering indeed !
The work goes bravely on!
TO THE VOTERS OF GEORGIA.
“How shall I, by the casting of my vote
best subserve the good of ray country, and
insure, so far as I may be able, good gov
ernment for myself and my children
We earnestly invite the attention of the
voters of Georgia, iu and out of the army, to
the article which we publish in another col
umn, taken from the Augusta Constitutional-
ist, headed “Tn e next Lkgisl vture” It is
from this article we quote the words that
appear at the head of the appeal which we
will uow make to those who, at the ballot-
box, must determine in a few days iuto
whose hands the Legislative aud Executive
branches of our State government will be
cast. We are in the midst of perilous times.
Our wisest, purest, aud most patriotic meu
should be selected to legislate for the State.
The fell spirit of party should not be permit
ted to influence a solitary voter. Faction
should be suppressed. Personal animosities
should cease. Every voter should ask him
self the question, “How shall I, by the cast
ing of my vote, beat subserve the good of
my country, and insure, so far as I may be
ble,good government tor myself and my chil
dren V” aud then conscientiously east his
vote. Georgia has now become an invaded
State. A powerful invading army this day
treads upon her soil,threatening subjugation,
desolation. Is this a time for party contest,
tor factious political contention ? Forbid it,
voters of our State; by all that is patriotic,
by all that you hold dear in the surround
ings of your homes, forbid it, lest the best
interests of your State may be sacrificed !—
In voting for members to represent you in
the next General Assembly, sec to it that the
men of your choice are influenced, in asking
for your suffrages, by no other motives than
to promote the public good ; let there be no
croakers among them—no malcontents—no
ambitious, disappointed men, influenced by
desire tor personal aggrandizement; but vote
for capable men, honest men, good men, and
true men. You will thus secure an efficient
and patriotic Legislature that, instead of
wasting time in strife, aud contention, and
idle legislation, will go to work in earnest to
promoto the public weal.
And, in regard to the ^faction of a Govcr
nor, be you influenced, voters of Georgia, by
the same rule of conduct. Ask yourselves, in
cashing your votes, ‘^osv shall I best
subserve the interesW^rol good of my
State? If you should deliberately come
to the conclusion that you can do this by
electing Mr. Hill, then vote for Mr. Hill;
or by electing Mr. Furlow, then vote for Mr
Furlow. But you have now not only an
able and faithful, but an experienced Chief
Magistrate iu the Executive Chair, who is a
candidate for your suffrages, aud who, thus
far, has successfully, iu the stormiest days
Georgia has ever seen, sat at the helm of the
‘Ship of State,” aud safely piloted her
'through the breakers that have threatened
her on every side, and that now threaten her
with ten-fold more fury. Is this, their, a
time for change t Are the great interests of
the State—her financial, her railroad, her
every varied interest—to be trusted to an in
cxperienced.hand; arc they to be entrusted

The Situation in Front—Skirmishing with
the Enemy—The Impending Battle—Ru
mors of the laking of KnoxviUe—Sick Sol-
diet's—A Screw Loose in the Medical De
partment: Whose Fault is it? Qen Henry
C. Wayne, tic.
Tunnel Hill, Ga., Sept. 19,1863.
Our whole line was engaged skirmishing
with the enemy yesterday, and from the
rapid and heavy firing this morning, there
arc indicationeof a general engagement.—
Oar forces are drawn up about six miles in
front of Ringgold. It is yet doubtful whe
ther the whole strength of the opposing forces
will meet us iu a decisive battle at this time.
It is supposed that Rosecrans will wait un
til he is joined by Burnside’s forces, which
arc said to be on their way to form a junc
tion with him. A report reached here yes
terday that our forces had re-occupied Knox
ville, after a severe engagement with Burn
side, iu which we captured 3,003 prisoners.
The forces on our side engaged were suppos'
ed to be Gen. Sam. Jones’ Division. But
there is no confidence to be put in this ru
mor, as similar ones had previously prevail
ed. It is only known .that a large force of
our troops have entered East Ttnuessee from
Virginia; but whether it be those of Gen.
Jones, who was in command of the Western
Department of Virginia, or some other com
mand from elsewhere, is not ascertained.
The cuemy is evidently aware that we
have been reinforced, aud it is supposed that
a portion of Grant’s army is moving up also,
to join llosecraus, but of this no positive in
formation has becu received. It is evident,
however, that the impending battle will be
the most desperate and bloody of the war.
Some 120 men came down yesterday on
the train from the front, all on the sick list,
with no surgeon or officer in charge of them.
Many of these men had only been slightly
indisposed with cliolie, &c., aud confessed
themselves recovered, and yet they are to be
sent to Atlanta, when fully capable of doing
duty. This is a great outrage ou the part of
our surgeons, aud shows the carelessness
and heedlessncss with which they attend to
their duties. At this rate our whole army
might be put on the sick list and sent off.—
There is evidently a screw loose in the Med
ical Department, which should be tightened
up. There is no excuse on the part of the
proper medical officer, whose duty it is to
attend to these matters, for permitting a num
ber of men thus to be sent to the rear with
out any medical attendant to care and pro
vide for them, as well as to send back those
who arc found to be sufficiently recovered.
The surgeons iu charge of the Atlanta hos
pitals should send those well men back to
the army immediately, for every man that
cau be raised will be wanted iu the coming
conflict.
the conflict was renewed by moonlight, and
continued for two hours. Walker’s, Hood's
and Cheatham’s divisions were principally
engaged. The light extended along ouv
whole line towards Lafayette. The heaviest
fighting was on our right and center. The
enemy’s left-was driven back, but ou the cen
ter they made a most desperate and stubborn
resistance.
Gen. Walker is reported to have taken two
batteries, which were again retaken by the
enemy, but we succeeded afterwards in se
curing one of their batteries.
As Gen. Walker crossed the Chickamauga
night before last, it is supposed the battle
took place on the other side of that river.
Gen. Forrest in the front attacked the cn
cmy seven miles from Chattanooga. Gen
Wheeler was guarding the gaps on our left,
and had a skirmish with the enemy’s caval
ry which had advanced towards Lafayette,
and tlig citizens were reported running from
that place.
It is supposed that the strong resistance
made by the enemy is to cover Rosecrans’
retreat, but it is impossible to get any cer
tain information from the numerous rumors
afloat It is reported that we lost a Tennes
see General yesterday, name not recollected
Ou Friday, the 18th, the fighting was also
very severe. It occurred in front of Leet’s
tauyard, 7 miles from Ringgold, and 4 miles
from Nickajaclc Gap. It is reported that
Walthall’s brigade lost 73 out of one regi
ment
The fight has been renewed this morning,
and heavy and rapid firing has been heard
since 8 o’clock, which continues up to this
writing, 12 meridian. A desperate engage
meat is no doubt progressing. A courier
lias just come in, who reports that we drove
the enemy back last night 4 miles, and to
within six miles of Chattanooga, and that
Gen. Bragg is driving the enemy to the wall
Gens. Longstreet and Hood arc^bolh on the
field. Gen. Benning, of Hood’s division, is
reported wounded. Several of Hood’s men
have come in wounded.
I shall leave by first conveyance that
starts towards Ringgold.

others, wounded.

ham. and Hood, and lasted alt dav. Nr. 1* urlow, have ever yet demonstrated any
administrative talent, and neither of whom,
ham, and Hood, aud lasted all day.
On Sunday the engagement became gen
era!, aud Listed ail day. The cannonading
was represented by those who heard it as
being terrific. Our two wings drove those of
the enemy back several miles; but the ceu
tie of each army remained firm ou Sunday
at night
We have information from a reliable source
that our troops being very much in want of
water, made a desperate charge on a portion
of the enemy’s forces stationed on Pea Vine
creek, aud routed them at the point of the
bayonet, aud obtained their position on the
creek. Iu this charge it Is raid we lost from
twelve to fifteen huudred, and the loss of the
enemy, who made au obstinate resistance, is
represented as exceeding auylhiug our iu
. formant ever beheld. It is also supposed by
this success the enemy’s supplies from Chat
tanooga have been cut off.*
It is expected that Gan. Longstreet will
renew the attack this (Monday) morn'ag ou
the enemy’s centre with a large reinforce
ment of fresh troops.
We have heard our entire loss up to Sun
day night, (we think extravagantly) eslima
ted at from 5 to 9 thousand. Wc know no
tbiug of that of the enemy except that it is
reported much heavier.
Wc have to mourn the loss of some of our
most distinguished officers, General Preston
Smith is certainly killed; Generals Walthall,
Wofford, aud Preston are reported killed.—
General Hood is reported to have lost a leg.
General Gregg received a severe but not
dangerous wouud, and has been brought to
Marietta.
We have taken two or three thousand
prisoners, aud have lost none of our men as
prisoners.
All the men were represented on Sunday
evening a3 being excited to the highest degree
of enthusiasm, feeling that on this battle may
rest the issue, not of the independence of
our Confederacy, but of a prolongation ot the
war.
Wc have found it difficult, amid the nu
merous and conflicting rcpoifs of the great
battle which, at the time of this writing,
is doubtless still raging, to write more; and
even what wc have written, except where
we have made positive assertions, is to be
received with some degree of Allowance, so
varied and contradictory are the reports that
in point of ability,and the possession ot those
qualities required of a Chief Magistrate in
times of peril like these, no unprejudiced
man will pronounce the equal of Governor
Brown ? We answer, no 1 We cannot be
liove that the voters of Georgia will be so
regardless of the. interests of the State.—
From one cud of the Confederacy to the
other, the most unlimited confidence pre
vails in Gov. Brown. The opposition that
he meets, and has met with, in Georgia, par
takes mostly of factious opposition. Nei
ther Mr. Hill nor Mr. Furlow, can supply
his place. We are bold enough to proclaim
this, despite the eulogies that have been pro
nounced upon these gentlemen by their
friends. Then why this contest for Cover
nor ? Voters ot Georgia, see to it that the
spirit which has brought it about, be rebuked!
See to it, that the mau who has been thrice
tried as iu a furnace of political fires, and who
has come out of them all purified, be agaiu
inaugurated your Chief Magistrate, and let
no change, and least of all such change as
some would bring about, threaten the best
interests of our glorious old commonwealth.
We invite the attention of our read
ers in this Congressional district, to the fol
lowing note, from which it will be seen that
the friends ot the Hon. Hugh Buchanan,
who had announced him as such, have
thought proper to withdraw the name of;
that gentleman as a candidate for Congress.
Outrage by a Yankee Brute of a
Colonel.—Wc have reeived a letter from
a responsible source, dated near Manassas,
Sept. 8th. giving the particulars of outrages
attempted to be perpetrated upon the per
sons of respectable ladies by an infamous
brute, named Murphy, a Colonel in the Fed
eral army, now stationed near Union Mills.
This representative of Y&nkecism, with
drawn pistol, and threats of death, attempt
ed the accomplishment ot hid brutal purpo
ses, but was foiled by the interference of
other persons who were brought to the spot
by the cries of those insulted. This Col.
Murphy has burned the house of Mr. Kinche-
loe, father ot Lt. Kincheloe, and also the
house of another gentleman who has a son
in the same company with Lt- K.—Richmond
‘Sentinel.
The Lincolnites are venting their spite
against the peaca Democrats of Maine by i
hauging them—in efflgv.
The skill and expedition with which Gen.
Henry C. Wayne has organized and put in
thefield the State troops of Georgia,deserve a
passing notice. Gen. Wayne, the present In
spector and Adjutant General of the State of
Georgia, commanding at Resaca, has no su
perior for administrative talent or as a field
officer. He graduated at West Point in 1838,
and was a First Lieutenant in the First Ar
tillery. He was Captain and Assistant Quar
termaster in Mexico; served lor a time on
the staff of Gen. Scott, and fitted out the ex
pedition to Vera Cruz wifii Capt. Heitzell.—
He enjoyed at that time the highest confi
dence of Gen. Jessup, who considered him
one of the most superior officers in the Quar.
termaster’s department.
It was Geu. Wayne who first in Iroduced
camels iuto this country for the overland
route to the Pacific, which had the plan
been carried out would have proved a
success. He afterwards had charge of the
arsenal at Philadelphia, and attended to the
transportation ot munitions of war through
out the couutry, eucouraging whenever in
his power Southern labor and manufactures
over Northern. On the secession of his
State he immediately resigned, and in De
cember, I860, was appointed Inspector and
Adjutant General of Georgia. He took
charge of and superintended the fortifica
tions at Brunswick, in September, 1861, and
was completing these important works when
interrupted by the President, who placed
General Mercer in command over him, and
who failing to complete the key to the
works, that important seaport town fell into
the hands of the enemy. Commodore Du
pont in his official report ot the taking of
Brunswick, expressed his surprise that a
place so strongly fortified should have so
easily fallen. Gen. Wayne had pat over
40,000 troops from Georgia into the field,
conducting personally all the minutia of
their outfits and organization. Though the
government at Richmond wo9 anxious to
secure the great ability of nis services as
Quartermaster, they were only willing to
give him a subordinate position. In 1862,
he was offered a Brigadiership, which a pro
per regard for his profession and his own
self-respect compelled him to decline, and it
was lucky for Georgia that he did so, as no
man daring the war has rendered the State
more important service.
Last night was very cold, and had the at
mosphere not been so very dry we should
have had hard frost Now is the time lor
our Quartermasters to sec that our brave
boys in the field shall not suffer for shoes
and clothing, l^et the contractors work
hard that there be no lack of supply—it is
as little as they can do, who are making all
the mone3 T , to see that our gallant soldiers
suffer not for shoes and raiment. 290.

Atlanta, Sept. 21,1863.
Mr. Editor :
I am called upon by “Mauy Voters” to

My opinion onpublic questions shall

Whatever might be my personal prefer
ence for another, under existing eiicumstan

Gov. Brown.
In his election no cavil can arise as to the
true position of Georgia. Wc know his
proudest ambition is to keep our banner un
furled to the breeze until our independence
shall be won.
Whatever may be the patriotism or abili

This I did after free consultation with the
voters of this portion of the district without
the consent of Mr. Buchanan, unless he could
be elected without a contest with his friends.
Seeing the names of two gentlemen of the
district announced as candidates since Mr-
Buchanan’s was, and having no expressed
desire from him that ho would leave the ar_

“ Gen. Burnside, upon completing the re

operation with Gen. Rosecrans forbids the
presumption that this step originated in any
diflerence as to relative rank and command.
It is supposed that he has contemplated this
course lor some time in consequence of the
constant political perplexities that beset him
in the administration of his department,
through the repudiation of certain of his

take it until he could leave the service with

tion of Arkansas ”; the “future campaign
in Texas,” &c. It reprints the letter of Mr-
Rives, and the message of Gov. Letcher—
to show the desperate efforts the “rebels”
are making to put a good face upon their
affairs.
The immediate fall of Charleston was an
ticipated ; but they had not y et heard of the
barge attack on Fort Snmler.
There were some rumors afloat yesterday
that Charleston had surrendered, bat no
such news was received at Washington.
Toe same success that is illustrating Union
arms at Charleston, Chattanooga, Knox
ville and Cumberland Gap, is also attending*
our expeditionary forces under Gen. Blunt,
in Arkansas. The telegraph informs us, un
der date of Leavenworth, bept 10, that Fort
Smith has been recaptured by our troops,
and that the rebel army has evacuated Little
Rock, the capital of Arkansas, aud is sup
posed to have fallen back southwestward to
the town of Washington.
