PRESIDENT DAVIS TO GOVER NOR BROWN. “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.

Henry 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 on the soil of Georgia. 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, let them at least keep still, and not cast blame and censure on movements and actions on the part of military men, that (hey are pro foundly ignorant of. to their aid thrill forward and wil- aml our TO THE VOTERS OF GEORGIA. f “ P«7» all things, and bold last that which is good. ’ The election now .about to take-place is Jackson to command the First Brigade of lhe mnat important that ever has Georgia Htate Troops, and which is now in active service, we are gratified to learn, is received with favor by the command, as\vo lelt it would he when it was made by the l lesiilent. ll military experience, combined with military skill nod eKivolrle i—-.- a on the tie Id, wiili generous consideration for the men of his command, will endear a General to ltis men, we are satisfied this first brigade of our State troops will come out ot ihe service wilh the highest appreciation of and confidence in, their commander, aud who, “ native and to the manor born ” doubt less feels honored in hemg appointed to his present command, composed, as it is, of Georgians. occurred 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.- gia lias been invaded on her seaboard and in 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 are seised, with their libera) supply of arm?. Important contracts arc made for munitions of w&r, and on active preparation to meet this impending storm was made with an energy and determination skat: exacted the approbation and applause o3 has bitterest po litical enemies. And when wa3 he ever wanting in sym pathy for oui; soldiers ? uadi where did lie ever neglect or forget their poor and de pendent families? We. all remember the warm Tell me not of Brown’s wantof co-opera- tion with ourConfederateGover»® en l in this great struggle. The truth i9, hia^hole heart and soul have been in the struggi® from the very beginning. Whenever the president has made requisitions upon him for wen, he has responded in a number of noble and ptriot- ic volunteers, for more than wfe either ex pected or required. The ente-pe® of this nobleCommon wealth, Seeling ^(unreserved devotion ot Brown to the caused bis coun try, in the midst of its trials a oil I s dangers, have ever been aroused-and sti deepest depths by his animator ing appeals.

On this question he did differ fi a the Pres ident moat radically. Hebei fid, firmly, that in the constitution of tin irmiea for the defense of the Confederate Sates, com posed as they are of State i lereignties, there should lie a positive e!em i ot States inftaence, and that he, as the 1 (cutive or gan of this State, had the rig! under the Confederate Constitution, by s commis sioning of certain important t ers of the armies to maintain and faster t influence.

Do you ask why make know, fhis objec tions to tins measure oi the < mfederate Government, if he intended to af*w its full operation within onr borders? ' 'fore were abundant reasons—reasons that l*who runs might read. Gov. Brown’s opinfcu on this question was founded on a priccAlc which he believed vital to the security ofStates . a is pnnciniA i, itrawu from the State lor the national de fence, should never be permitted wholly to lose the impress and influence of State in dividuality—should never bo permitted to become wholly the creatures of_the Confed erat&Governmei.t. Wheu he saw this prin ciple violated by the inauguration of the conscription; although for tho sate of the cause, which involved everything which we hold dear, he deemed it his duty, fir a time to yield his opinions in deference tothe dan gers that were assailing us on evjry side yet he was unwilling that this polief should become a precedent in-the future administra tion of the Confederate Government Hence under the pressure upon him, altli&ugh he yields.. jmu. ———*— marked and solemn condemnation policy. Brown knew that after tie estab lishment of our independence, armies mu9t be raised and organized, even ia Imes of peace. He knew that, though an indepen dent nation, we should be cotermifous to a people that would envy our prosperity, and rankle with bitter and aggravatiaflx-mcm- brances ofthir own humiliation anddisgrace He knew that against such a peoplfi, as our near neighbors, even in times of peace, it would be always necessary to be prepared for war; and he knew that the poli^ which placed the armies of evur peace establishment exclusively under Confederate influence, might imperil the rights and soverffgnty of the States. Hence he yielded to he con scription policy, i» the midst of th& desola ting war, with a mental reservation as the Executive of the State, expressed it strong language, that would leave the question open and natvammeled for future? adjust ment. That he should, iu the focgjpf such strong constitutional objections, hav? allow ed this policy full operation within pur lim its, and so. to- have directed aud controlled the military resources of the 3 tats, as to have received* the approbation anc thanks of the President, shows that the opinion of the Governor on Bias question neveram pair ed his efficiency as commander in chief of otirurmica-in ~ nCYBr will, lie is willing to co-operate,Willi al years with all our military and martial re sources worth nothing ? Is his experience and the success which he has had in the management of our public great work, worth nothing? Is the strong devotion of our armies to him worth nothing? Is the strong position lie occupies in the esti mation of the other States worth nothing? How long would it take anew incumbent of equal abilities to acquire Brown’s experi cnce and familiarity with our affairs ? and can wc afford, at this moment, when our dearest rights ariFm danger, an inter regnmu of ignorance and inefficiency ? Major Fnrlow is an amiable gentleman.— Against his political principles we have nought to say. He would be, if elected, faithful and true to the full measure of his knowledge and abilities. But Major Fnrlow if elected, would be in a position to which he has been totally unaccustomed. If we elect him, we shall have to take him on trust, and without any strong evidence that our trust is well founded. He might administer the government wilh ability and success; he might, at this perilous crisis, ‘ be weighed in the balance and found wanting.” What folly to be governed in casting our votes by trust, amidst the various uncertainties which hang around the candidate, when wc have the solid coin, “the riug of the true metal” before us ? CHICAMUGA. 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.

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 of a^mSTirmgr'*^ naTrn " n> 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.
