The editor of the B'un asks “ how many
families in Georgia have been benefited by
Governor Brown’s salt contract with the
works in Virginia?” We answer, having
received our information from the office of
the Commissary General of the State, Col.
.). 1. WuiT.VKUit, whose duty it has been to
receive and conduct the distribution of the
salt, that, under the first distribution made
in 1*32, three thousand six hundred and
seveuly (3,(170) widows of deceased soldiers
were supplied, each with a half bushel salt,
amounting in all to 1,833 bushels; and that
under this same first distribution thirty-sev
en thousand three hundred and twenty-four
(37,324) wives of soldiers, and widows having
a son or sons in service, were also supplied,
with a half bushel of salt, amounting in all
to 18,002 bushels. To various charitable in-
siif.ut.ions, the blind, destitute, heads of fam
ilies, &c„ 9,102 bushels were also distribut
ed, making in the aggregate 20,599 bushels
distributed under the Virginia salt contract
during the fall and winter ot 1802—the wid
ow.. of deceased soldiers receiving their dis-
ti ibutive share free of cost, while the wives
of soldiers and widows having a son or
sons in service, charitable - societies, &c.
were supplied at the low rate of two dol
lara per bushel—all others paying wliat the
salt cost the State, covering expenses also,
So much lor the distribution of 18G2.
Under the Governor’s order of July 24th
18G3, another distribution of salt has been
made by Col. Whitaker. Up to this time,
■1,340 widows of deceased soldiers; 21,877
wives of Soldiers; 4,114 widows having sons
in the service ; 735 dependent families, and
427 disabled, discharged soldiers, have each
been supplied with a halt bushel of siflt, at
rates' to coyer cost—in the aggregate making
15,8741 bushels. Forty-threo counties in the
State remain yet to be supplied, of which no
t iee has been publicly given. For these coun
ties, when the authorities of the same shall
apply for it, and comply, as the other coun
ties ol‘ the State have promptly done, with
the regulations prescribed by the Conunis
nary Department,governing the distribution,
their distributive share is ready, and will
be delivered to them, as it is now in store,
only waiting their implication for it.
Tims it. will be seen that, iu all, under the
Virginia Salt Contract, so derided by the Ed
itor ot the Columbus Sun, there have been
distributed to the widows of soldiers, wives
ol soldiers, widows having sous iu the ser
vice, indigent and dependent families, dis
abled, discharged soldiers, &c., 45,473a bush-
vis of salt by the Commissary Department
oi the State, and that it has still an abun
dance on hand to supply the 43 counties
bat have not yet applied for their distribu-
i i ve r.b are. Amid embarrassments in regard
to the transportation of this salt, and the
manufacture of it, that often threatened, and
did for a time prevent both, the utmost ener-
ay has characterised the State’s Agent at the
Salt works, and the head of the Commissary
Department of tne State, Col. Whitaker, to
secure the largest quantity for the State that
could possibly be secured ; and .then, ou the
part of the la*ter, to place it in the hands of
i Lose Tor whom it was designed by the beii-
.• a- f nee rtf the State. The stupid assertion

imaginations or electioneering squibs of that
paper, who, iu its abuse of Governor Brown";
Omy he considered as having no equal in
• iu. State, rabid as some one or two others
may fcp*et down iu that lice. -‘What else"
the Salt contract has produced, we have
shown in the foregoing statement, and we
thus leave the Editor of the Sun in the posi
tion of one who, in his malice, aims and
shoots the poisoned shaft, bnt for lack both
of skill and force, the arrow does not reach
its object. Gov. Brown can never be injured
in public estimation, through assaults so ap
parently malicious in intent, or groundless
in point of fact.
MAJ. FURLOW’S LEGISLATIVE RECORD-
-We are particular in making public the
Legislative record of Maj. Furlow, who is
now put forward by those disaffected to
wards the administration of the affairs of
the State for the last six years by Governor
Brown, because, however well he may be
know n in his own locality of Southwestern
Georgia, Maj. Furlow is entirely a “new
man,” so far as the largest portion of the
State is concerned—his name even having
never been beard by thiee-fourths, if not
nine-tenths, of the people of the State. In
such trying times as these, when the man of
the most indomitable energy, wisest states
manship, intellectual fitness and certain and
tried qualities; is needed when, too, the pa
triotic, thewise, and the good all over the
State, both in public and in private, in civil
and in military life, are rallying around
the man for the times, generously fir-
getting all past differences; the man
we say, or the men by whom the re-
election ot Governor Brown is sought
to be defeated at the ballot box by
the people, and then by the General Assem
bly of Georgia, ought to have bis pub
lic life well vcntillated, lest the great mis
take lie committed of putting one at the
helm of affairs, at this crisis, who shall prove
unfitted to take care of the great interests of
the ?o/w>fe3tate; unequal to the task of prevent
ing those interests from suffering; and a man
shall be defeated who lias proven himself,
during the whole six years of bis adminis
tration, equal to the emergencies by which
he lias been surrounded. Is Major Furlow
th*:man J'or the times? Can the people ol
the whole State trust Major Furlow for such
times as these?
To enable our people to answer this ques
tion, we have been examining his Legislative
record, and thus far we have proven him to
be too sectional in his predilec! ions and views.
We have shown that the soldiers themselves
cannot safely trust a man who, when he is a
candidate for-Governor, promises them his
regard, should he be elected, yet, when he
was legislating for them in his place in the
Senate of Georgia, fell short in his views of
what their families ought to have for their
support the present year, by one million dol
lars, of wbat a majority of the Senate
thought was due them; and fee hundred
thousand dollars of what the whole Legisla
lure did grant them. We have shown that
a man is not to be trusted for the adminis
tration of affairs for the good of the whole
State,who, when the distillation question was
up for consideration in the Senate, was op
posed to leaving the number of gallousto.be
distilled out of the corn made principally in
his own section, for medical, chemical and
, mechanical, necessary purposes, to the dis
cretion of the Governor, but moves to insert
a proviso, that the Governor should be “ di
rected ” to issue licenses for the manufacture
of one million gallons of whiskey, all of
which would inure to the benefit of his own
section.
Intimately connected with the question of
raising a sufficient quantity of provisions for
the people of Georgia the present year, was
the cotton question, or the restriction of the
number of acres to be planted in cotton to
the hand by Legislative enactment. And
how stands the Major’s record on this all-
important question ? Do we still see him
laboring for the interests of his own section
—secure, as it is, from hostile invasion,
abounding in the freshest and most fertile
lands of the State, and with a good crop of
provisions garnered, and by this devotion to
the cotton planting interest, in which he
himself has so large a personal interest, do
we find him willing to jeopard the superior
interests of the people of the'great State
itself, even their very lives and liberty, which
have ever liuug more ou the issue of hunger
than on that of battle ? Let us see !
During the regular session of the Legis
lature in November and December of 1862,
an act was passed restricting the number of
acrc3 to be planted in cotton to the hand, to
three acres. This was a great boon obtained
for the upper half of the State, which had suf
fered throughout the entire section from the
drought that had cat off their crop fully one
half, and also a portion of that section in
which the negro population is the smallest,
fully as much from the withdrawal of the
laboring class composed of white men, for
army purposes, as from the drought itself.—
The Legislature before adjourning, had pro
vided for au extra session in May. The
Governor finding, before the appointed time
of meeting, that Gen. Bragg had been forced
to fall back after the battle of Mur-
freesboro’, and our limits for the supply
of food was becoming every day more
contracted, and that Middle Tennessee it
self would in all probability full into the
hands ot the enemy, convened the Legisla
ture at au earlier day l)y r about six weeks
than the time it. had agreed to meet, to wit,
the25lh ot March. His object in doing this
was, as his proclamation showed, to have
the restriction ou the planting of cotton fur
ther increased, and allow only a G f aa acre
to the hand, which ha thought the exigen
cies of the times demanded. The Governor
very Tightly reasoned that the Act ou.the
ubjeet which had been previously passed
not only tolerated the planting of so much
cotton to the hand, but actually invited, the
cultivation of the three acres; and that far
mers and planters might put their best land
in cotton,, and all their manure upon those
lauds, and thus a large crop of cotton would
be raised. Wc know further that the law
was regarded by some persons as defective •
that while it prohibited the planting of “a
greater number of acres of laud in cotton
than three (3) for each hand owned and em
ployed, Ae., : ’ it made no provision against
n excess* in fractional parts of an acre, and
thus nearly lour acres to the hand might be
planted, instead ot three, throughout the
whole State.
The Legislature met according to the pro
clamation of the Governor, and listened to
the reading of the message of his Excellency
which ably ieasoned upon the subject of re
stricting the planting of cotton to one quar
ter of an acre, showing the necessity for such
a measure.
A joint committee was appointed from
the Senate and House, which promptly re
ported a bill to carry out substantially that
judicious recommendation. Major Furlow
Was the Chairman of the committee on the
part of the Senate; but to the bill as re
ported by the majority he was opposed, and
was one of the minority of the committee
to - introduce a counter report. In that mi
nority report may be found the following
extract: “The message of his Excellency
the Governor fails to disclose any new rea
son, and none has occurred to our minds,
justifying this sudden change of the law
So blinded was Mr. Furlow by the cotton
interest in which himself and his constitu
ents were interested, that the advance ot
Rosecrans southward,‘ the probable loss of
Middle and East Tennessee—an event that
has since happened—and the greater need
than ever that Georgia should raise all the
provisions in her power, was no argument
with him for reducing the culture of cotton
below the limits prescribed in the act of the
Legislature at its regular session. II is con
duct in this respect is stikingly in contrast,
with that of members of the Legislature
eveu from his own section, whose names we
might mention.
Nay, further Mr. Furlow, as we have been
credibly informed, fis if iu mockery and de
rision of the entreaties of a large portion ot
the State for reduction in the planting of
cotton, actually introduced a bill, and had
it printed, to compel every farmland plant
er in the State to plant three acres of cotton
to the hand. Whether this* was done as a
.good joke (for Major Furlow was the wit
and punster of the session), or whether lie
was serious iu its introduction, we do not
know; but in cither event it was out of
place in so serious a matter as was that be
fore the Senate, and we doubt not Mr. Fur
low felt it himself, as he withdrew it before
any other action than that on its printing
could be had hyUhe body to which it was
offered.
Despite the efforts of Major Furlow to
prevent any iurtker legislation for the re
duction of the number of acres of cotton to
the hand, although the bill, as reported by
a majority of the joint committee, failed—
in tlie House of Representatives by a very
small majority—still some other legislation
wasjdoue, which, it wa3 thought, in conjunc
tion with the act that was binding, would
be equally as effective for the further reduc
tion of the quantify of land in cotton, and
at the same time would not be letro-active
in its effect towards those who had already
planted the quantity allowed in the act.—
The Legislature decided to apj^int a com
mittee to prepare a stirriug twmress to (he
people of the State, urging them to plant
little or none of the Vmcl in cotton which
the law allowed.
Wc have thus exposed to public view Ma
jor Furlow’s record on the cotton question
because we do got think a man so blinded
by his own interests or those of bis constit
uents, who failed to see any reason for clian
ging the law in April from what it was in
December, is the man to be placed at
the helm, when our ship of state is being
assailed by contrary and tempestuous w inds,

SURRENDER OF CUMBERLAND GAP.
We tiud in the Richmond Examiner an
account of the surrender of Cumberland
Gap, which, tf correct, demands prompt in
vestigation. It appears that the position
was held by Georgia and North Carolina
troops under a Mississippi Brigadier named
Frazier. According to the correspondents
of the Examiner at one time Gen. Frazier
was ordered to evacuate the place, but on
his asking leave to hold it, as he had a large
supply of provisions, he was directed to de
feml it to the last extremity, and informed
that he would bo shortly relieved. Shortly
alter, the Yankees, to the number of seven
regiments, or about thirty-seven hundred
men, invested the place, and it was surren
dered without a blow being struck. Sever
al hundred of tiro men escaped with their
aims. They all believe that the place was
betrayed, and denounce Frazier in the most
unmeasured terms. They state that he con
suited none of the officers about the sur
render, and that the first intimation they
had was the change of flags.
We did feel fomewhat surprised that a
position of such remarkable strength should
have been surrendered to the enemy with
out making a desperate defence. Wo trust
that this disgraceful surrender will be in
vestigated and strict punishment inflicted on
those who through treason or cowardice
surrendered the most impregnable position
ou the American Continent.
Since writing the above we fiud the fol

It is with deep mortification that we an

information we can gather, there was 2,100
men in the garrison when it surrendered.—

[COMMUNIC ATED. ]
Marietta, Ga., Sept. 21,18G3.
Editor Intelligencer ;
The great battle which the country be
lieves to be the turning point, in our favor,
of the tide of war, is, or is now upon upon
the eve of being fought. The contending
hosts on other parts of our beleaguered
frontier have ceased a9 by mutual accord the
mortal strife, and the gaze of fTiend and foe
i9 directed with fixed, breathless and intense
anxiety to the impending contest on the bor
ders of North Georgia,upon the issueof which
whether in favor of either party, depend
consequences of such vast import. The war
riors of the North and of the South test upon
their arms and view the struggle from a dis
tance. as did the armies of the besieged and
besiegers before Troy, as iEaeas strode for
ward to meet his antagonist in single com
bat, the issue of which was to decide the fate
of his city. Will the broad stream of the Ten
nessee prove the means of separating the
combatants, 4s did tne fabled veil which was
thrown over .TEacas by 'his godmother and
protectress, Venus? I believe not. llose-
crans, wiley as he is, has to cope with a
General nowise his inferior in strategic abili
ty. For the first time General Bragg con
fronts his wary antagonist on a footing of
equality. The result is marked. Every
manoeuvre of Rcsecraus has been completely
thwarted thus far by a counter-manoeuvre on
the part of General Bragg. With the most
consummate skill General Bragg lias invei
gled him in a net work from it is almost im
possible for him to escape. Like a wall of
fire, General Bragg’s army menaces the ene
my in both front and flank. The abrupt
banks and turbid waters ot the Tennessee
sever him from communication in the roar.
Rosecrans may attempt to recross the Ten
nessee liver in the event of being hard pres
sed. by means of pontoons. History, and
the ablest military writers, prove this to be
the moat perilous and difficult of military
manoeuvres, particularly in presence of an
enemy flushed with success, and filled with
enthusiasm for the cause in which they are
engaged. Gen. Bragg will not fall to reap the
fuit3 of the advantage he lias so successfully-
gained. History will point out this campaign,
result as it may, as one of the most remarkable
in point of strategy, that has occurred in the
course of modern warfare.
The country has just reason for feeling as
sured and satisfied as to the result. Our ar
my, officers and men, with few exceptions,
entertain the utmost confidence in. the ability
of tlieir Generals to cope successfully with
the wiley Rosecrans; and this confidence
has been increased to admiration by the able
manner in which he has thus far conducted
the oparations of his army, preparatory to
more decisive action. In every minor en
gagement which our forces have had with
the enemy during the past ten days, up to
this date, we have been victorious, and by
this means alone, have inflicted no incon
siderable loss upon the enemy.
But while victorious in these desultory
engagements, our own. loss has not been in
considerable. Among several officers of prom
inence, it is with feelings of mournful sad
ness that I chronicle the death of Brig. Gen.
Preston Smith. He was a Tennesseean, and
was distinguished as a brave, gallant and ef^
ecient officer. I learn that he was much loy
daud respected by those under/his com
mand, and that his compeers looked upon
him as an officer of considerable ability and
fine promise. His name adds but one more
to the long Tut ol heroic spirits whose names
will be cherished amid the bright galaxy of
martyrs that will adorn the pages ot the fu
ture history of Tennessee. Shade of the gal
lant dead, rest in peace 1 Thy funeral dirge
was chanted in the wild roar of battle, and
the sullen boom of cannon composed the
mournful requiem of the departed. The hero
takes his last rest, and will “ne’er wake to
glory again.”
Gen. Pillow has returned from Mississippi
where he lias been for some weeks past en
gaged in the organization of that part of his
Bureau. His Bureau is now in full opera
tion, and the effects of his system can al
ready be perceived in the crowded trains
which arrive from the West. The Govern
ment has been inquiring into the details of
Gen. Pillow’s system of conscription, and it
is thought by many^that it will be adapted,
and the General himself put at the head of
the whole Bureau of the Confederate States.
The appointment would certainly be judi
cious, and would doubtless give universal
satisfaction. Gen. Pillow’s individuality is
bis untiring and indomitable energy, com
bined with a quickness of conception in the
smallest and most minute details of business
which is really remarkable. Add to this,his
being a man of great administrative ability,
and I do not think his equal can be found for
a position of this nature in the country.—
Borne idea may be formed of the energy
with which he works,'.computed With that
f the Richmond Bureau, when Geu. Bragg,
in a letter to the Secretary of war, states that
Gen. Pillow, in six 'Weeks, had reinforced his
army with ten times as many men as the Rich
mond Bureau had in ten monthsThis let
ter was written in remonstrance to the stop
yage by the Government of Geu.Piiiow’s op
orations last Spring. He combines all th 1
requisite qualities essential to such a posi
tiou; promote him to the rank of Maj. Gen
eral, and put him at the head of the Bureau,
of Conscription, ot the Confederate States*
and without doubt, Gen, Gid. J. Pillow will
be tne “right man in the right place.”
“VER.”
THE NEXT LEGISLATURE-
It is proper at all times that the people
should be deliberate and dispassionate in the
choice of their law jnakers, for it any evil
flows from a bad selection, it falls upon the
whole inhabitants alike, the innocent as well
as the guilty. If prej udice, or the blind rage
of party force the electors into the choice ol
incompetent men as public servants, the i’[
effects of their incapacity, or want of fideli
ty and honesty of purpose, come home equal
ly upon their supporters and their opponent.
Good laws benefit all, except evil doers—bad
laws are detrimental to the individual and to
community. In ordinary times, therefore, it
is the highest duty of the voters to choose
their servants with an eye single to the pub
lic good, in which all are interested; and the
neglect of, or inattention to, which cannot
be compensated by any pride of victory, nor
even by the spoils of office, which at best
can fall to the lot only of a lew.
But if ordinarily it be so important that
the voter should act conscientiously and
honestly with himself, how much more im
portant, aye vital, it is that the great fran
chise ol the freeman should be exercised
now not lightly,not captiously,not with bit
terness and heartburning, but judiciously,
dispassionately, faithfully. In former times
men’s judgments were clouded, and their
actions perverted to evil, in this regard, by
the fell spirit of party, which overrode all
other considerations, and from which our
very best citizens could scarcely free them
selves. This spirit was at once the worst
and most deeply rooted of all the springs
which moved the American heart. It alieuj
ated old friends, outraged good principles]
sowed discord iu families, and even arrayed
, son against father. In heaven’s name, we
have had enough of it, and the people must
kuow and feel that this is so. Happily we
have now no issues dividing the people into
parties, and hence no partizan feelings, nor
any excuse for any. Wc must chain and
keep down this spirit of old, or wc shall
never lie able to long maintain a good gov
ernment whatever be our forms.
The times are truly perilous, lull ot anx
iety and danger, as all men- kuow, and all
good men appreciate. The crisis of the
revolution is upon us, and nothing but unity
and devotion, and the casting aside of all
selfish and personal and partizan notions,
can carry us safely through the great strug
gle. We believe the people understand and
appreciate, to some extent, the exigencies of
tlie condition and the requirements of the
times, but we are fearful lest some should
lose sight of the straight and narrow path
way. We would exhort every voter, there
fore, to sift and purge himself, and his own
motives, and to come up to his present work
with only the single thought and the single
question: “How shall I, by the casting of
my vote best subserve the good of my coun
try, and issue, so far as I.may be able, good
government for myself nud my children ?
This is the sole consideration which should
influence every voter in the coming October
election.
That we shall have a good Governor for
the ensuing two years admits of no doubt.—
The people have fully'made up their minds
for the triumphant re-election ot Governor
Brown over all opposition, .and they will see
to it that the Executive who tor six years
has so ably and so faithfully and success
fully guided the helm ol Stale shall be con
tinued at the wheel. He has two opponents
—both gentlemen of unimpeachable charac
ter, of great personal merit, and of ability.—
Neither of them has a sounder judgment,
more will or capacity,than Governor Brown,
and neither of them has any administrative
experience, while Governor Brown has.—
There can be no question, therefore, about
the election for Governor: and while we cor
dially and earnestly support Gov. Brown,and
think the people should unanimously elect
him, we do not think it becoming in such a
time to make opposition to gent lemen who
stand in nobody’s way. But a good Gover
nor cannot accomplish as much good as he
otherwise might, Unless aided and supported
by a good Legislature. We therefore earn
estly invoke the voters ot Georgia to ask
their own consciences candidly wliat is their
duty in the crisis, and then honestly follow
out that answer, by giving their support to
their ablest, most faithful and upright citi
zens, for representatives and senators, put
ting far away all old grudges and animosi
ties, and any lurking devil of party, looking
steadfastly to the good of the country, and t«
that alone.
