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. gen. 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 Special Correspondence of the Atlanu Intel Ugencer.) ARMY CORRESPONDENCE. 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. 290. N. B. The Lieut. Col. of the 3Gth Ala. is wounded; also Gens. Gregg and Hood, aud others, wounded.

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. —«»«» COL W ATKIN’S REPLY TO “MANY VOTERS. Atlanta, Sept. 21,1863. Mr. Editor : I am called upon by “Mauy Voters” to express my prefereime for Governor. My opinion onpublic questions shall be uttered when Wmauded. Whatever might be my personal prefer ence for another, under existing eiicumstan ces, I feel it my duty to cast my vote for 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 ty of cither of the other candidates, they can do no more; my judgment is therefore averse to the experiment of change in this hour of our country’s peril. Your obt. svt., F.P.WATKW3. A CARD. New nan, Ga , Sept. 18,1863. Editor IntelVgencer : About the first of July last I authorized yon to announce the name of Lieut. Hu. Buchanan, of the county of Coweta, as a can didate to represent tho 8th district in the Confederate Congress, over “Many Voters” of Coweta, Henry, Campbell, Carroll and other counties of the. district. . 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_ my nnvr bleeding and struggling for the in dependence of our loved Confederacy to go into a scramble for civil position, particularly with his friends and fellow-soldiers, who have suffered the hardships of camp life upon the tented field, and spilt their blood upon the battle-ground In the lifeand death strug gle for Southern independence. I there fore, alter [conference with his many iriends, who agreed upon announcing his name in their behalf, authorize yon to discontinue the publication of the card in your paper announcing him as a candidate, and here say to the voters of the 8tli Con grcssional District that Mr. Buchanan is not acaudidate in the ensuing election.

Since then a cavalry force has been 8 ® n * the Railroad to within a few miles ot Bris tol, capturing some three locomotives and twenty odd cars. Another force, composed of two regiments of infantry and two regi ments of cavalry, I brought to this place in person to reinforce Gen. Shackelford, who was here with two regiments of cavalry, Col. De Coury being on the Kentucky side, with a brigade which I started in that direc tion before leaving Kentucky. The infant ry brigade marched from Knoxville to this place—sixty miles—in 52 hours.

Those North of the river there are crossing. W. S. ROSECRANS, Maj .-Gen. RESIGNATION OF BURNSIDE. The Cincinnati correspondent of the Her ald, under date of the 10th, saj’s: “ Gen. Burnside, upon completing the re demption oi' East Tennessee by the capture of the rebel force defending Cumberland Gap, tendered his resignation to the War Department by telegraph.* His hearty co 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 measures by the Government, but did not take it until he could leave the service with out discredit to himself, after expelling the last armed rebel from his department.
