FOR GOVERNOR:
JQS3SPH K. SHOWN,
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 for your assertion, that
if 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 lias been my duty to make
on her, and to you, personally, as
her Executive, I acknowledge my
indebtedness for the prompt, cordial
ami effective co-operation you have
afforded me in the effort to defend
our common country against the
common enemy.”—Jefferson Davis
GEORGIA STATE TROOPS.
We invite the special attention of the
Volunteer Companies of the State, under
the late call of the President; as well those
who organized into battalions, regiments
&c., and are now in service, as those who
have tendered their services to the State, but
‘have not yet taken tin field; to “General
Orders No. 7,” from Major General Conn
commanding the same, which appear
this paper to-day. We are gratified to see
in these orders, quite a complimentary no
lice taken by the General commanding, that
with a “solitary exception”—would for the
the honor of old Georgia, there had
been none—the State troopi called in
to the field, have promptly waived their
territorial boundaries, and manifested, Gen
oral Cobh remarks, “ their willingness' to
defend the soil of their State wherever as
sailed.” Notwithstanding, under the tw
acts of Congress passed over a twelvemonth
ago, territorial limits were prescribed by
many of these companies when they ten
dered their services to the State, yet neither
at the time those acts wcrcApassed, nor at
the time the companies volunteered, was
the situation of affairs so perilous, so abso
lutely exacting that all territorial bounda
lies should be waived, and that as one
man, all should proudly and resolutely
rally to do service to the State wherever the
foe should threaten or make his appearance.
Rut we rejoice to know that there is only a
solitary instance of dereliction, and we trust,
however hard it may appear to those who
have faltered or refused to stand by their
brothers, under their gallant leader, to go
wherever he may order, reflection will con
vince them of error, that they too will be
found in the front with “onward for Georgia"
their defiant battle-cry.
We would also call the special attention
of those volunteer companies not called into
active service to Gen. Cobb’s requirements
relative to their.immediate organization into
regiments. This should be ettected by the
first of November next, if not sooner.
Georgia has now a tine body of troops in
the field. They arc composed of men. who
will bravely maintain her honor and the in
alienable rights of her people to “life, liber
ty and the pursuit ’of happiness.” One gal
lant brigade, under a gallant Georgian as
its leader, has already departod for active
service—where it matters not, but wherever
it has gone, there, in any emergency, it will
render a good account of itself. Others, a9
occasions require, will follow—follow, re
gardless of any original intent as respects
boundaries, but wherever they can best de
fend the State from the polluting tread of
our abolition foe.
BE JDST.
We have noticed in our exchanges a great
many articles copied from the Intelligencer
which are either credited to the other pa
pers of this city or published as original
matter. We have now before us the letter
of our correspondent “ 290,” on the battle
of Chieamauga, copied in the Montgomery
Mail and credited to the Atlanta Appeal.—
We go to a very large expense in keeping a
regular army correspondence, and think it
but au act of justice to give the rightful
credit to us when our correspondence is
copied.
in the Columbia South Carolinian we liud
the same correspondence copied, which, al
though, gi ving the due eredit to this paper,
curtails the article aud ends it with the con
gratulatory address of Gen. Bragg, signed
by film, thus making it appear as if Gen.
Bragg wrote the letter himself. Such neg
lect and errors are of a common occurrence,
and shows a great want of attention on the
part of those making extracts from ex
changes.
We feel highly flattered wheu our- edito
rial articles, or those of our special army
correspondent, “ 290," are copied aud pub
lished as original, but would much rather
the parties committing the plagiarism
would give “the devil his due,” and credit
them to our paper.
“THE MODEL COLONEL.”
We have received the following commu
nication from Griffin under date of Sept.
23,1863, making inquiry in regard to our
‘‘model Colonel ” :
“ To the Editor of the Intelligencer—
Gear Sir : Iu your paper a few weeks
ago you spoke of a model Colonel. Will
you please tell us in your next issue whether
he was in (Le fight in upper Georgia or not,
and how he came out, and oblige many la-
dies. Yours, respectfully,
A P A.”
We reply to our fair correspondent that
the “Model Colonel” icas in the battle of
Chicamaugn, Imre a gallaut part in that
bloody strife, and received a severe wound
on his person.
GOVERNOR BROWN.
At no time has Gov. Brown stood higher
in the estimation of the people than at pres
ent, and at no time has he been more de
serving of their good will.
A few enemies ot the Governor have sung
out “tyrant,” “clogging the interest of the
army,” in “ opposition to the administra
tion,” &c. These hunters of spoils, these
seekers to Guild parties, or enemies to peace
and quiet among onr people, find neither
the people uor the press, to their morlifica
tion, uniting with them in their efforts, to de
feat Gov. Brown. Joe Brown ! why he was
tried when the sea was smooth, the sky
cloudless; and sailing sale, and now, when
dark clouds surround our Ship 'of State—
when muttered thunders arc.he&rd.and viv
id lightnings seen ; in storm as in su nshine,
true to his people, his State and his govern
ment, he stands wise, energetic and efficient.
When the horizon becamejlarkened—when
the enemy threatened to overrunJNortli Ga.,
did he stand back, alarmed, and troubled to
now what to do? No! but with a smile
on his calm face, and,hope in his stout heart,
his actions and his words of encouragement
nerved many an arm. Two years ago, the
N. York papeis abused the Governor of Ga.
Voters ot the State, will you now rejoice
the hearts of Northern people by defeating
a man they dislike ?
Arc the people in any of the counties Hold
ing meetings, crying out, Let us defeat Gov.
Brown ? Day after day we converse with
meu who tell us, Two years ago I bitterly
opposed Brown, but he manages so well
exhibits such industry, and is so enlisted in
the cause, we can no longer oppose him.
Great exertions have been made by the
Governor’s enemies to misplace him: what
-wonderful stories they told of his unpopu
larity; what evidences of his tyranny, and
what proofs that he could he easily defeated
An effort was made to bring out Lester,
Cobb—a talented, tried patriot; a glorious
soldier; wounded in his country’s cause —
Cabanis?, energetic and true; but these men
could not be duped into the belief that lau
rels could be gained, or spurs won, in a con
test with Gov. Brown.
Col. Furlow has unfortunately permitted
his name to be used in opposition to Gov
Brown. A very nice, true, but unknown
gentleman, very well qualified iu times of
peace to fill the Executive office of Georgia,
Col. Hill is also a candidate, unfortunate in
the termination of his service in the ol
Congress,also in his friends, who write com
munications to the papers, and recently
more unfortunate in his letter spread before
the people of Georgia, We hope wc do the
letter no injustice in thinking it breathes a
spirit of regret at the secession move, and a
sadness at the idea that reconstruction is im
possible. In his letter, Mr. Hill says—‘‘The
war, with its train of suffering, privation,
and death, has served to eradicate all idea of
reconstruction, even with those who mad
it the basis of their arguments in favor of
disunion.”
What class of secessionists Mr. Hill aims
at we do not know. We heard many seces
sion speech es, read many arguments, yet
this is the first time wo have heard that any
man used secession as an argument for re
construction. We are satisfied Mr. Hill is
not upTo,neither is lie the man for, the times.
Mr. Hill may think the people are at times
wooed” and woa by the wrong men. ’Tig
not often the case. As to who is the best
qualified to administer the government of
their great State, m October, they will
promptly respond—he wbo is now making
every exertion for ns and for our interest—
Joe Brown.
No disloyal or untrue man will support
Governor Brown—men lukewarm in the
cause will not support him. Iu short a large
majority of the voters of Georgia are unwil
ling to risk any new man. The people are
satisfied that the cry of Brown’s being a ty.
rant is ridiculous—of his throwing obstacles
obstacles m the way of the army, is absurd—
of his being unpopular, is a humbug—and of
his being at war with the President, is false.
To-day, we arc satisfied that no Southern
Governor stands as Governor Brown in the
estimation of the President; and were it pru
dent for Mr. Davis to express an opinion, he
would say to the people, “Re-elect Governor
Brown.” And rc-clcct him they will; for
they have confidence .iu the energy, the
ability, the promptness, the physical and
moral courage of him they have tried aud
found true to them, to their cause, their
interest, and their Confederacy for several
years. GEORGIA.

The “inspirations of slavery” are, accord
ing to Mr. Seward, the inspirations of the
Devil himself, and the doctrine that “ all
men, of whatever color, are free and equal,”
is studiously applied by the saintly Secreta
ry to the children whom he left in Georgia,
when he was engaged in the respectable pro
fession of a pedagogue. Although Mr. Lin
coln, from whom it detracts nothing, that
his purely eaucasion lineage, has been drawn
in question,) is virtually sovereign of the
United States—an absolute despot, invested
with the power of lire and death over his
subjects, and who has'already abolished lib
erty of speech, liberty of the press, person
al liberty, and the rights of property, hold
ing complete control both of the purse and
the sword of the nation, yet it is a great
satisfaction to his Machiavellian Secretary
that vulgarity is redeemed by the force of
cunning, and that the nation of the United
States, like some kingdoms, is ruled through
its premier, that it is the integer placed on
the left baud of the ciphers lhat'imports to

such Generals as Lincoln has sent into the
field during this war, McDowell, McLellau
Pope, Burnside, Hooker, Meade, Bosecrans
— all of them Napoleons, and never were
armies which fought with half so much val
or and gallantry as the armies which these
godlike generals led on from victory to vie
lory. Mr. Seward instructs his ministers to
be sure and instruct foreign courts as to the
character of the Yankee generals, their in
vincibihtv and the halo of glory that sur
rounds their brows, aud will surround them
through all coming times; to compliment in
fitting terms of praise the bravery of the
Yankee troops, not forgetting to advert In
pointed terms to the fact that they have gain
ed nearly all the battles that have beenfought
since the war began; that they have taken
Vicksburg and Port Hudson, and are going
to take Richmond, and Charleston,’and Sa

heart of the American Confederacy, and to
destroy all the railroads by which the rebels

bring in African reinforcement to supply the
deficiency. They are to. make these and
many other representations to foreign gov
ernments, and to inform them that if they
“seek a renewal of commercial prosperity
through the lestoration of peace in Ameri
ca,” they must “withdraw support and fa
vor from the insurgents, and lBftve the ad

FROM RICHMOND.
Richmond, Sept^galK 1S63.
Mr. Seward lias issued a diplomatic circu
lar to the ministers of the United States at
foreign courts, in which he has exhibited all
his ingenuity as a special pleader. It is fox
like and plausible, bearing the impress
throughout of his peculiar mental organiza
tion. He is angry with foreign government
for having recognized the belligerent char
acter of the Confederacy from the com
mencement of the war. lie stigmatizes our
citizens as “rebels,” “insurgents,” aud “trai
tors,”. and the act of sovereign States in
withdrawing Ivom the Union, as “sedition,’*
aud the President of the Confederate States
as the ringleader of “ilie sedition,” and styles
his cabinet at Richmond “a cabal.” In his
opinion “a rebel” is one who denies that
there is any original inherent sovereignty in
the Federal Government, and enforces that
denial by overt acts—a traitor is identical
in malignity and character with a rebel • an
insurgent is one who stands upon his Slate
rights, and a seditious person one who is
disposed to protect those rights at all risks
and hazards. There is no governing power
in this country bat the nation .ot the United
States, and the legislation, execution, and
judicial powers of the United States are le
gitimately exercised only by the President
and his cabinet, Congress having parted
“All that can be said, at this moment, of
Northern exultation, ia, that the Federate
have taken two places ou the Mississippi, af
ter seiges three times as tedious and costly
as they werv expected to be,, aud that they
have not had their own Capital occupied by
the enemy, as seemed highly probable two
months ago. In point of facts, taking one
field with another, the South has had a great
er share of victory than the North.” This
response from the most influential journal in
Great Britain to the wilyjSecretary’s Circu
lar, will be sufficient to satisfy tLe British
public, if they were not satisfied of the tact
before—that his representations are suspi
cious, his pictures are colored, and his at
tempts to dictate to foreign nations, the
course of policy they are to pursue iu'uua
quarrel, impertinent and intolerable.

IN MEMORY OF PRIVATE PATRICK GAN
NON.
Mr. Editor: Allow a friend to pay a
sad, farewell tribute to the memory ot the
gallant, enthusiastic young Irishman whose
name appears at the head of this brief notice.
In common with the majority of his country
men, who emigrated to the South .[with a
view to make their home among our people,
and to share the* destiny of our country,
when the tocsin of war was sounded, he was
with the first to enroll his name as one ot the
stalwart defenders of our holy cause, and
manfully did he perform his duty on the
classic soil of Yirgrnia. He joined the Jack-
son Guards, in Atlanta, in June, 1861, par
ticipated in the seven days’ battle around
Richmond, and was present in every subse
quent engagement where liis regiment con
fronted the foe. Of his bearing on the bat
tle-field, his officers speak in the most lauda
tory terms, representing him to be self-pos
sessed and brave even to a fault—a char
acteristic of liis race. la camp, he was ev
er obedient to the orders of his superiors, be
ing cheerful and prompt in the performance
of his duty. By his candor and generosity
he endeared himself to liis comrades, and no
man in the rank3 stood higher in their esti
mation.
His health being impaired by the fatigues
and exposures incident to the arduous ser
vice through which lie passed, he received a
furlough -in August to visit liis family and
recuperate his exhausted energies. Having
repaired to this city, through the kind atten
tions of his relatives, he rapidly improved
and hoped in a few.day a to be present with
his command, ready to battle with the ene
my in defence of our cherished and right
eous principles. But alas how short-lived
are our iondest hopes and brightest expecta
tions. Wishing to pay a brief visit to a fond
and devoted sister in Atlanta, before his de
parture, he visited that city, was taken sick
with congestive fever, and after a briel ill
ness expired ou the 4th of Sept., in the 22J
year of his age.
It is sad, it is peculiarly distressing, to
chronicle the death of a friend under any
circumstances, but particularly so under the
present. Had he fallen on the field of battle,
lighting for the liberty of his adopted coun
try, the announcement of his death would
not bring so much sorrow to his friends.—
To bo cut off in the prime of manhood, in
the midst, of his family, is indeed distressing;
but an All-Wise Providence doeth all things
lor the best, and it is the duty of His chil
dren to submit with cheerfulness to His de
crees. 4 Our young friend is dead, but his
memory will never bo forgotten by his com
radcs iu arms, or by those who had the
pleasure of meeting him in civil life.
In the demise of private Gannon the Con
federacy lias lost a gallant, Christian soldier,
who was willing to sacrifice his life for the
independence of his country. To his fami
ly the loss is irreparable; but the recollec
tion of liis having done his duty to his coun
try, and illustrated the prowess of his coun
trymen on the battlefield, will be a proud
aud consoling reflection when our indepen
dence is acknowledged and peace spreads
her benign influence over a free and pros
perous people.

OBITUARY.
Maj. John S. Rowland, late of Bartow
county, Ga., was born in the county of Ruth
erford, North Carolina, on the 6th day of
August, 1795, and departed this life in Ear
tow county, Ga., at his residence in Etowah
Valley, on Friday the 18th of September
1863, and in the G9tli year of his age. He
resided with his father, Thomas Rowland,
until he was about 14 years of age, when,
with his fathor, he removed to Greenville
District, 8. C., then a new county, when the
family settled upon Saluda river. Here he
aided his father in putting up every house,
and in the general improvement of the place.

His means of education being of a* very lim
ited chaiacter, all the attainments which he
ever made were lor the most part acquired
by his own exertion; the time not neces
sarily devoted to business being given to the
improvement of his mind.
When 17 years of age, he taught school,and
was compelled to study hard in order to keep
ahead of his pupils, and to be enabled to give
them the necessary instruction.
At the commencement of the war with
Great Britain, in the year 1812, though not
yet 18 years of age, he volunteered as a pri
vate ia the service of his country,and march
ing from his home on foot, was ordered to
Georgetown, was soon promoted for his en
ergy and ability to the position of Adjutant
of his regiment, and serving with honor to
himself until the close of the war, returned
home, and was soon appointed Collector of
the Direct Tax of Pendleton District, S. C.
He was then appointed Assistant in the
Clerk’s office of the District for some time,
and then removing to Rutherford Court
House, N. C., performed the business of the
Clerk’s office of that county under his uncle,
Col. Richard Lewis, where lie remained un
til his marriage, on the 21st November,1816,
with Miss Frances M. Lewis. He then re
signed his office and engaged succsssfully in
farming in Spartanburg, District, 8. C., was
elected to positions of trust and honor by the
people and Legislature, whenever he desired,
and filled public offices for eighteen or twen
ty years.
Iq 1838 he purchased land in Georgia,and
in 1839 removed to them (Cass, now Bartow
county,) and settling upon the banks of the
Etowah, devoted himself to his agricultural
interests and private affairs. From the quiet
enjoyment of hb beautiful, romantic and
highly improved home, he was called by
Gov. Brown to fill the responsible position
of Superintendent of the \V. A A. Railroad,
aud while in the energetic discharge of its
onerous duties, he was taken suddenly very
ill and reaching home, there, surrounded by
his affectionate family and weeping friends,
he quietly and gently passe i away Iron*
His aged and most estimable wife and three
sous and three daughters with numerous
grandchildren, survive his loss. The State
and the county of which he was so val
uable a citizen, are now deprived of his
eminent services, and mourn his sudden
and unexpected departure from our midst,
but the wife and the children and the ser
vants left behind him feel a deeper, keener
pano - in the los9 of the gentle husband, the
affectionate father, and the kind and care
ful and benignant master.
Just in his dealings, he rendered to every
man his due. Mirthful and social in his.re-
lations, he was a delightful and entertaining
associate. Energetic beyond most men, he
