“In conclusion. I take great pleas
ure in recognizing that the history
oi 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 has been my duty to make

her Executive, I acknowledge my

haen favored for publication. “The ring of

R-
fine the overwhelming mas3 of fresh troops
brought by the enemy against us on the
second day, although the day before we had
gained a signal and glorious victory. At
Murfreesboro’ the sains thing occurred, for
had Bragg’s forces been 10.000 strouger, the
enem) ’s centre would have been compelled
to give way before us. And just the same
thing prevents us from storming the enemy’s
works at Chattanooga. We have men
enough to do it, but alter it was done, our
army would scarcely be able to march to
Nashville, and we must recollect tliat Rose-
craus, after being driven from his works at
Chattanooga, is able to cross the Tennessee
river and assume the same position that he
had prior to the evacuation of Chattanooga
by the Confederate forces. Although not
aware what Gea. Bragg’s intentions are, but
taking everything in consideration, we think
that the idea of storming the enemy’s works
at Chattanooga, is a Vain one, and we would
earnestly recommend to our cotemporaries
of the pi ess, to pause awhile, and think be
fore they cadi far impossibilities. Aud to the
stay-at hoiae patriots who are so busy ex
pressing their op.uion of what is right and
what is wrong, we would say that they are
the very men who are preventing Gen. Bragg
from following up his late victory. Instead
of hiring substitutes and pleading over age,
hail they acted with that spirit which should
characterize a people fighting fair liberty,
not only would Bragg be able to fallow up
hia. victory, bud lher£. wouhj havejiecn^no

We are heartily .sick and Ured ot hearing
mg these over-age and substitute men spgak
in terms of disparagement of military men.
I or heaven’s sake have done with all such
folly! If they cannot manfully aid okr
brave boys in gaining their indept ndeuce,

and censure on movements and actions on

DEMANDING IMPOSSIBILITIES.
There appears to be a desire among some
ot our peoplo to censure Gen. Bragg for not
throwing his army on the cnjjtny’s works at
Chattanooga, and several ot our exchanges
are calling for a move on and capture of
that place at every liaz ird.
So as to satisfy all these critics and bar
room general?, we will enter into, a full ex
planation^ the causes which it is apparent
still throw obstacles in the way of General
Bragg, and also the only cure we have for
those drawbacks and disadvantages, which
are, as we will hereafter show, entirely out
the power of Bragg to overcome with the
present means at his disposal.
After the battle of Chicamauga, the enemy
retired into Chattanooga with the remnant
of his army, still an army of considerable
force, and immediately threw them into. Ike
entrenchments which had been builts by us,
and which were acknowledged, to. he almost
impregnable. Within this liao-of works he
has budt three more, so. that in the event of
his being driven opt of the first, ho can fall
hack into the second, and so on to the fourth
For our aynay to storm these works will ne
^esaitato a sacrifice of life that could only, if
even we were successful, leaye m entirely
too crippled to follow up.our advantages,aud
what is of great consideration, deprive ns of
the services of at least 25,000 men, that being
the smallest number estimated as the cost of
storming the enemy’s works around Chatta
nooga. It may be very well for stay at-home
generals and newspaper writers to say
•‘Bragg must storm lioaecwma’ works, and
drive him out of Tennessee at any hazard,”
without knowing the hardships, soul dangers
which an army has to confront in" storming
works. From tho past history of this style
of warfare,-we feel certain that it would re
sult in the sue-ritijce of nearly one-half of
Bragg’s army, were he to attempt the taking
of Chattanooga by assault; aud after that
sacrifice, it is doubtful if he, would succeed
in. the attempt. Gen. Bragg knows this, and
he also knows that we cannot afford the km
of men that would necessarily result from, such
an enterprise. With this knowledge he has
invested the eueihy, and will no doubt en
deavor by a series of strategic movements,
to gain all that is necessary to complete i j
the fullest manner possible the total annihil
ation and defeat of the enemy. And if even
the enemy should get reinforced before h s
plans have matured, it cannot affect us ma-
terialty, as we are certain of victory, and it
would perhaps be better if Roaecrans could
receive all the available reinforcements pos
sible, for once defeated after that, we
would have no fear of having to fight freah
troops before the enemy were driven out of
Tennessee.
It may be said that we cannot expect*to
gain any advantages by delay, and that the
sacrifice of life would be fully compensated
if we gained the position at Chattanooga.—
It would ceit&inly compensate us if we had
in the field men enough to replace those who
tell in the assault. This has always heeu
the grand preventive to our successes being
followed up. It has been the want oj men in
the field.
In every victory we have gained this war,
the some unfortunate drawback has present
ed itself. At 3hiloh, for the want of more
men, we were compelled to fall back be-
in this State ; as important as the moment
ous events transpiring around us. threaten-
ng oar existence as a sovereign State, and
the subjugation and ruin of our people, can
make it. If it he important, iu the midst of
the present B&n^ninarv wo —. -— »....a..m.-

her mountains, by a powerful and implaca
ble enemy, to have the ablest and best coun
sel, and to concentrate all tine resources and
energies of the State Ioj the purpose of de
feating our foes, then it -is important that in
this election our ablest ami best men should
he chosen to serve v» In our legislative halls,
aud our most tried, able, best candidate,’
should be called to. the Executive govern
ment of our State.
The mats whom we should elect, as Gover
nor of Gseorgia, in these times of trials and
oi dinger, should be a man oi tried charac
ter, and experience, of iron will, and indom
itable moral courage, and of disinterested
philanthropy and patriotism. Gov. Brown,
by six years of faithful service, amidst good
report and bad report, has shown himself to
unite these characteristics in an emiuent de
gree, and to be the most suited for our Exec
utive Magistrate, at this eventful and per
ilous crisis. If ever man showed him
self politically honest and upright, dar
ing to fulfil the behests of his con
science and act out the convictions of
his judgment, in defiance of consequences,
Brown has showed himself to be that man
by many trying and infallible tests. Such a
man, when singled out and known, by a long
: conrse of distinguished service to his coun
try, should ever have a prominent place in
the administration of piibiie affairs.
On what occasion dkl the fear ot his pop
ularity or paltry views of expediency ever
warp him from the upright, even tenor of
his way ? In th& first year of his term,when
the Banks had! suspended specie- payments,
and assumed a position calculated to distress
and injune «>uc people, and the commercial
influence- of strong capitalists of our State
were against him, and when many of his
leading political friends endeavored to hedge
up,hia way, where do you find him ? You
find him, in the face of the strongest opposi
tion, the people’s man, and opposing, with
all his energies, the exercise of privileges
and. Ujununiiiaahvwmithy. corporations, de-
nied to the private citizen.
Ho never has failed to sit as a faithful sen
tinel on our constitutional rights. When
they have been assailed by rash or crude or
hasty legislation, he has ever had the nervo
to interpose his veto and stop the evil.
At critical and dangerous moments to our
country, wliea the clouds of war were gath
ering over us, he never Jailed to assume the
responsibility,. which the public safety de
manded. At that moment, wheu a conflict
of arms with our enemies had become inevi
table, and wham some preliminary movement
in the w&g-of acquiring arms and making
needful {separations to meet the crisis was
demanded, we find him bold, vigilant and
active. The forts and arsenal? of the enemy

if elected, would be in a position to which he

without any strong evidence that our trust is

TG THE VOTERS OF CLAYTON COUNTY.
Jonesboro, Oct. 1st., 186:>.
Mr. Editor:—I notice in the “Southern
Confederacy” of yesterday a letter from Tlios.
Johhsoa addressed to the voters of Clayton
county. He intended ita3 a reply to certain
charges which have been made against him
by some ot the citizens of this county. One
of the charges is that Mr. Johnson is in favor
of a reconstruction of the Union. One of
the reasons why the people regard Mr. John
son as a reconstructionist, is. because short
ly after he became a candidate for the Legis
lature he was asked by one of our citizen?,
if he was elected aud a bill should come be
fore the House recommending a reconstruc
tion of the Union on the old basis, would he
vote for it ? He replied that lie vias not pre
pared to answer. Nor is ho prepared to an
swernow. If he is why did he not answer
it in his card to the citizens of Clayton ? lie
evades it very skillfully. Instead of giving
us an exposition of his own views upon the
heresy in question, he simply says, “1 have
vindicate as we now have, and above all,
with the Lord Jehovah on our side, as He
certainly is, to fail ia impossible.
3. That we earnestly recommend all Chris
tians in general, and those of our denomina
tion in particular, to make constant and Im
portunate prayer to Almighty God in behalf
of our bleeding country and of our suffering
soldiers now in the field.

his forecast in keeping the question open for
final settlement in time ot peace, tfhen no
detriment can arise from the differences and
discussions necessary to put this ijuestion
finally at rest.
Now is Ihe time in electing our Governor,
in which, it possible, we should take noth
ing on trust. We have to deal on every
hand, with stern and stubborn realities. And
when we have fenown/rom a long course of
official conduct, that the mao offered for our
suffrages is the man for the times, and the
man we need, what folly to reject suth a can'-
didate for him whom we have never triad,
struction party. Why not come out like
man and say “I am no reconstructionist.”
He also says, “I am for peace on honorable
terms, and no other way.” A very- indefi
nite position indeed! Mr. Johnson don’t
tell us what lie regards as “honorable terms.’’
Some men think that this revolution was
wrong in the beginning and has continued
so ever since, and that it would bo honora
ble for hs as a people to eiofaas our error,
and ask Mr. Lincoln to take us back into the
Union under a promise to do better lor the
future. Others think we can have no hon
orable peace except upon the basis of Inde
pendence and an everlasting separation from
the Abolition Government. But what Mr

Now, it seems to me that, in reply to as
grave charges as those brought against Mr.
Johnson, he might have been more definite.
This is no time tor equivocation. 1 her
should be no hesitation, among candidates
upon as plain an issue as the one now' be
fore the people. What is there to compli
cate it ? Why hesitate, as Mr, Johnson did,
to answer one-of the test questions *?
On the other hand, Capt. McBride’s posi
tion is well known. He was originally- a
Union man; but when Georgia went out,- he
went with her heart and soul, and from that
day to this he has had no “chanyo of heart."
He has never despaired of our final indepen
dence. He has never been a croaker. .When
our arms met with reverses, he was. never
one of tho3e who cry out y r%r TToI(T ’you so.”
Citizens of Clayton, what do your sons
say in this matter? They have been with
him in camp and in battle. They have fol
lowed his gallant lead in many a bloody'
charge. They have stood together" around
the grave of your heroic sons who fell in the
conflict. What is their testimony ? That he
is v gentleman—a soldier, true and tried—a
patriot, who has never quailed before de
feat, or lost faith in our fiual success.
Next Wednesday you will decide between
these candidates. A9k yourselves what each
has done tax anccAP33. and vote tor the most

[The color-bearer Richard O. Camp, men
tioned in the foregoing, is, we iearji, quite a
youth, who was a telegraphic operator at
Dalton, aud thus exempt! from mtlitary du

lie determined to volunteer and pet il his life
for his country, not content, as" he stated to
his patents, to remain at home, while others
were in the field to battle for the Independ
ence of the South. This brave youth, who
is the son of Major and Mrs. W. A. Camp
of Cleveland, Tenn., wo are told, displayed
great bravery upon the field of battle—with
the colors of hia regiment, he was ever in
the advance, cheering his companions on

the fight.—Ed. Int. j
