PRESIDENT DAVIS TO GOVEE- MOR BROWN. “In conclusion I take great ])leas- urein 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 jast as the purposes ot the builders of the tower of Babel, and the purposes of Alex ander, of Julius Ctesar, and Bonaparte, to acquire universal dominion, were frustrated ? If so, why heap up odium on those who vo ted for a dissolution of the Union ? C. And, finally, does not the lion. B. II. Hill, remember that in that published speech of his, delivered in Millcdgcvillc during the session of the Legislature immediately pre ceding the Convention that took Georgia out of the Union, counselled resistance to Lin coln, which, if carried out, would inevitably have produced civil war; that he was for marching up with a Southern army to Wash ington, and forcing Mr. Liucoln to act con stitutionally ? Has Mr. Hill forgotten that document? If so, let him refresh his mem ory? Does not Mr. liill remember the feelings with which he himself regarded at that time the election of Mr. Lincoln ? Has a change since then eomc over the spirit of his dream ? In the name of our bleeding country, in the name of our soldiers who suffer every privation on long marches, and who offer up their lives on the altar of their country, in the name of the dead who fill honored graves, and of their families who will be honored for the sacrifice; in the name of justice and truth, cease your reproaches, Mr. Hill, on the secessionists of Georgia!

THE ELECTION TO MORROW. The voters of this Sonatorial Dishict will be called on to morrow to cast their votes for a Senator. They should not fail to do so; every man in the district entitled to, should exercise liis elective franchise,'with an eye to the best interests of the district and the State. Nor should the great interests of the Confederacy be forgotten in this election Of Col. Calhoun, it is said that he is one of the supporters of Mr. Joshua HiU for Cover nor. 11 so—and we have no doubt of it—we trust that lie will be signally defeated, for it is our firm belief that the election of Mr. Hill would prove pred judicial to every inter, est of the State aud the Confederacy. On the other hand. Col. Walk * ns favors the elec tion of Gov. Brown, and possesses every qualification which a constituency could de sire iu a representative. No man mthc State is more familiar with its past legislation than he ; no man more sound or firm in the main tenance ol those principles for which so much Southei n blood h is been shed, aud for which he, at the head of his gallant regi went, perilled his own li r c and shed his own blood, lie is.beforc the people of this Dis trict as.a candidate, with nothing to conceal, answering lrankly and freely all questions propounded to 1dm by its voters, and is ev ery way worthy and qualified to represent the district We would, therefore, urge upon the voters of this district to elect Col. Wat kins. Should the people fail to elect a Gov ernor. of which though we have no fears,the voters of the district know now where Col. Watkins will be found, should he be elected* and that Mr. Joshua HIU can nci:r get his vote. The contrary will bo the case in the event Col. Calhoun is elected. Then,voters of Cobb, Fulton, and Clayton, rally to the support of Col. Watkins and elect him by a handsome majority. Principle sliould gov ern every man now, iu casting his vote, aud every voter should be certain to vote. The times indicate trouble, as they do the forma tion of a party headed by the Hills, which is to war upon secessionists—upon those Special Correspondence of the Atlanta Iutehi£cac*r ASHY CORRESPONDENCE The X.lualion Front—Enemy fortifying and reinforced—What should, could, and might have been done— Why the Enemy was not put sir l, dec., cfr. Camp before Chattanooga, ) Oef 1SG3. ) Our army still occupies its position before tlie enemy, remaining in statu quo antebel lum. The enemj*, however, is hot idle lie has been bard at work finishing the fortifi cations on the various heights which we had commenced, and is pushing forward his lines ol entrenchments. Since the late re freshing heavy rain, the sky has become clear and without a cloud, enabling us to have a more perfect'view of the enemy’s lines and his works. His nearest work is on Ike first height of the ridge across the valley intervening between Missionary llidge, which we occupy, aud the heights of Chat- tannoega, which is hardly two miles distant, and not a mile from cur’picket line. This fort is in the shape of a star, aird it is said they have cascmated their guns. During the night, and early iu the morning, a heavy impenetrable mist rises over the valley, of which it is said the enemy takes advantage to advance his works. The e nemy’s lime coniront U3 from the Northwest, and from the increased number ot tents, and fires at night, there is no doubt but that they have been largely reinforced within the past two days. If Burnside has joined ltosecrans, and it may be that a portion of Grant’s army has also reached him, their army is probably equal to our own, and they will be soon be able to resume the offensive and make a flank movement. In this case, we would have to fall back in order to draw the ene my out, when another bloody struggle must ensue. I have no idea that an attempt will be made on our part to storm the enemy’s works, though we may try the effect of a few shells upon them. Hemmed tip as they are, if wc had only a battery of 100-pound Par rott guns, we could easily shell them from the town. It is said that the enemy has also strengthened liis fortifications over the river, opposite the town, so. that in case of a retreat, he could shell * us from his balteiies across who brought Georgia out of the old Union. Bee Mr. Ben II. Hill’s letter ior evidence of I the river, aud prevent us from following this, and then go and vote against every can- him » or holding Chattanooge. A flank move- didate in your district who supports Mr. 1 raent on our l 5art would therefore seem to b Joshua Hill. Rally to this work on to-mor row, and you will do what duty to trict, your State, and the Confederocyfim peratively demands of all who are determin ed never to submit to Northern domination, never again to live with the Northern Aboli-. tionists as one people! 18 IT TRUE? The Hon. B. H. Hill, in his letter endors ing the condidacy of the Hon. Joshua HiU for Governor of Georgia, says it was the “spirit of controversy” that made the South ern man a “seccder.” Now what say facts ? 1. It was almost impossible for the Sma tors and Representative* from the South ern States and those of the Northern Slates to transact; the necessary business of government long before the dissolution o/ the Union. Every impartial observer at Washington must have noticed tb*s; and Mr. HU1 could not have been ignorant of so patent a fact. 2. The moral status of the two sections had become by training essentially different. The whle North regarded slavery as a moral, social and political evil, to be put down at any sacrifice. Scarcely one at the South held to such an opinion Is Mr. Hill awareotthat? If so, why did he charge on the South a spirit of controversy, or, iu other words, when he costs opprobrium on the “Northern fanatic,” why does he include in the same category the “Southern seceder ?" Does Jdr. Hill hold the South to be as guilty as the North in this war? His language clearly implies as much. a. The burdens and profits of the old gov ernment were unequally distributed—the Sooth bearing a greater share of the former, and reaping a less share of the latter than her proportion. Does not Mr. Hill think this had something to do with the alienation of both sections, and the final dissolution of the Union ? 4. Does not Mr. Hill know that the peo ple of the two scctiou3 arc not homage neons —that they arc diverse in everything neces sary to constitute them a separate people ? 5. Does not Mr. Hill believe it was in ac cordance with the designs of Him who rules as well among the inhabitants of earth, as • the hosts of heaven, that the purposes of mmn iq erect this into a government, the most gigantic on earth, should be frustrated the only way of dislodging the enemy.— What is to bo done, should be done quickly, as every day gives the enemy superior ad vantages over us. It is now rumored that large reinforcements are on the way to Rose- crans from Meade’s army, and that the ene my is determined to make tip's the fi oal struggle of the revolution. A large force thrown into East Tennessee from Virginia, to proceed to Nashville, and come down on the enemy’s rear, would be our salvation; and it is not yet too late, it done immediately. Had Ewell’s enrps mov ed in lliat direction at the same time that Longstreet joined us, the great struggle in the West would have ended, leaving us in full possession of Southern soil up to ilie northernmost line of Kentucky. It is evi dent that all our movements are too slow.— The only great strategy to be learned by the powers at Richmond i-, to mass our forces and strike the enemy quickly— suddenly and effectually. However, there is no use of speculaling.or animadverting on army move ments. Everybody w ill tell you what ought to be done, what might have been done, and the general question is, “why don 4 t they?” The only answer to which is, that the nu merous ifs and huts are the great stumbling block in tho way, and the only great fact that we do know is, that it is not done. * tite Yallev of Chattanooga ) October 1st, lSG'J. ) Mr. Editor: To help kill the monotony of camp life and keep my hand in, in the way of epistola r y exercises, I send you a few items of camp news, which may not be unaccep’ .blc Our brave and heroic army is still in Boe of battle before the enemy, bivouacked in the valley of Chattanooga. The enemy oc cupy the opposite ridges, or heights of Chat tanooga, and their camps aud fortifications are plainly iu sight. From the top of Mis sionary Ridge you have a perfect view of of the Moccssiq Bond of the Tcnn /see river, which lies at the foot of Lookout Mounlaiu. The enemy has a pontoon bridge at this point, and two others further up the liver, one being ia Iront of the town, but which are not visible. There was an appa rent movement on the part of the enemy- yesterday, and it is supposed they were massing their forces on their light towards Lookout Mountain, to prevent any attempt on our part to storm their works from that direction. They have already added strong lines of entrenchments to the fortifications we had buPt, and their position is conse qucntly very powerful, and could only be carried by a great sacrifice of fife. Our men are becoming vwy rest 1 s and discontented at remaining idle so long, and are anxious to pu:h forward at any hazard. Indeed, after the fight Sunday night, as fa tigued and Jungly a - ? our men were, they all say they would rather have pushed for ward aud beat the enemy to Chattanooga, than have remained behind to waif for our supplies to com3 up. If that had b cn done there is hro ely a doubt but that we would have beaten the enemy in the race to Chat tanooga, : ’• they were scattered in every di rection an 1 perfectly panic s' acker* They ran belter skelter into Chattanooga, like so many rats into their holes, and allowed us to loliow at lcisuie the next day, and the day ^flowing, Tiv sday, to approach close enough to take possession of Lr okout Moun tain, wc having follower? them on their track over Miss'onary Ridge. It is supposed wc have important move incuts on hand,- but of course as our Generals keep t Heir own secrets nobody knows what the}” are One thing is cer tain, we must soon make some movement to winter our army iu Middle Tennessee or Kentucky, as it cannot exist here There are camp rumors prevailing that our forces iu East Tcmic 3sce, supposed to be Gen. Sam Jones’ have occupied Knoxville and Kiugstou, having defeated Burnside, aud taken 8,000 prisoners. But. no confi 'cnct can be put iu camp rumors. It would be the salvation of our army, if not the coun try, if we could yet send Ewell’s corps by East Tennessee crossiug at Kingston to Sparta and Nashville, taking possession of that city, and moving down to the Tennes see river, iu the enemy’s rear, destroying all liis supplies, while our army, pushing Rose- crans in front, and thus totally destroying the Yankee array between the upper and nether millstone. But we never do anything until too late. This movement could just as well as not have been made at the lime that Longstreci’s corps was sent out to us, and thus won lor us Tennessee aud Kentucky, with troops to spare for the redemption of Mississippi y t fferday was a great day here for the Georgia boys. Gov. Joe Brown, of that State, it seems, came up here to look after the comfort and welfare of the Georgians aud see that all their wants are attended to aud cared for. This is the right sort of a Governor to have, and Governors of other States may well copy, after him. Yesterday il Uncle Joe,” as the boys call him, visited his Georgia pets, and as he rode down in front of the lines ol “ fighting Billy Walk er’s” division, his coining having been an nounced, lie was received with heartfelt and unbounded enthusiasm. Such was the wild cheering and vociferous jells as the Cover nor rode along the ianks bowing to 1ms gal lant and brave citizen soldiers, that the mountains re-echoed again aud again with the shouts of cordial greeting. Indeed, so wild was the enthusiasm that his presence produced, that the boys of an adjoiain brigade not understanding the cause of the shouting, wondered what the Georgianshad opened their battle cry for, and one remarked that they had better “dry up,” if they didnt want the enemy to throw a bombshell among ’em, as the euemy would surely think we were going to storm their works! No wonder that the Georgia boys are so devoted to Gov. Brown, for it must be ad mitted on aft sides that no Governor of a State has so nobly and resolutely stood up lor the rights of his people, and so bravely maintained them. He has been the first Governor in this Confederacy who has ever sho?/n Uiat the first duty of a Governor was to look after the rights of his people and sustain them with a jealous care, instead of wish 1 If there be such in our midst, and it is said there are, it must be the cause why onr armies are not more victorious; until and wc such vil- never w ; H conquer a peac lainous traitors, the reward lot whosefleep damnation should be fathomless, ^speed ily ji-posed of by citizens firm and resolute enough who surround them.

Bragg has won a great victory and I.pander:ng to their own political ambition. fJpnrijm from the hand of the ruthless I I am told “ Uncle Joe ’ became the guest of saved Georgia from the hand of the ruthless invader. Why he did not follow up his vic tory is easy to ask ; lie has his own reasons for it, ami the people should suspend their opinions until time shall deyclope the facts, when they may juge for themselves. There are many conflicting opinions on this sub ject for aud against, and arguments on each side arc equally strong, principally support cd by ifs ou the one hand and '*«/? on the other. The other day oar pickets took a squad of 9ome fifteen Yankee prisoners, who were found robbing a sweet potatoe field. Oa be ing told to surrender, they complacently re- Gcu.

Falling weather wdl soon set in, when our troops will .require plenty of shoes and clothes, and I oifly wish that our Governor f Alabama, as well as others, would imi tate Gov.

Where is the reconstrue- ss£ l£m 3T R H. HiU. open the Gabernato- rial Question.” It seems to bo a letter Horn Senator llill in answer to one from J. A. Billups, of Madison, asking the publication of the fact that he favored the election of Joshua llill for Governor, together with his reasons for this preference. Mr. Hill urges three reasons against the re election of Gov. Brown, which are unworthy any reliable statesman: 1st, “There ought to be entire harmony and unity of action proceeding and pending this struggle. Even the appearance of divisions encourage the enemy, and it has never been possible tor Gov. Brown to unite our people iu lime.” Does any one believe that Mr. Dili can be sincere in such an ob jection ? Is he really lor entire harmony and unity of action, to prevent encouraging the enemy by even the appearance of divis ions, when he opposes a man who has been thrice elected Governor by unprecedented majorities, aud who has fulfilled his triple trust with an ability and fidelity which is without parallel in the pest history of Geor gia? Gan any one imagine that Mr. llill is honest, when he wants to defeat Gov*. Brown for fear Ids election will give aid and com fort to the enemy ? The whole Yankee na tion would hail the defeat of Gov. Brown as the strongest indication of opposition to she war—next to the President, and that on- , ly from his position being Governor of only one of the sovereign States. He is the soul and centre of a vigorous prosecution of the wax*. Ue has left no effn t unemployed.— He has worked every energy of his nature, and inspired those around him with the same spirit. He has even infused into some of the departments of the Confederate Govern ment a determination and will in this con test, which has won for him a renown that will be forgotten only when these seenes and these times are obliterated from the memory of man and the page of history. Anti yet the Hon. B. II. llill ha3 the assu rance to express the timidity that his elec tion will encourage the enemy by the ap pearance of division. I do not desire to in dulge iu any bitter or aci imoniou srellectioas, but Senator llill, by such a letter, with such reasons, has placed himself beyond the pale of a liberal charity. It is unworthy the po sition he holds, and the attitude he now oc cupies to the people of Georgia. And how does Mr. llill propose to produce this har mony and unity of action he so much de sires, and tin reby avoid this appearance of division which he fcai3 will encourage the enemy ? In no other wav, fellow-citizens but by supporting Joshua Hdl for Governor, who, it he is not tinctured with disloyalty to his State, at heart embodies all that the Yan kees concievc opposition to this war. I have no disposition to criticise Mr. Hill’s position. The part he took when Georgia seceded from the Union is well known He was "alone in the Georgia delegation who believed liis State i^Ldonc wrong, aud denied her sove- reigntyliy remaining aftert he delegation withdrew. If Georgia had a r ight to secede from the Union, Mr. Hill’s seat ia Congress was vacant the moment the severance took place. By his act of resigning his seat in Congress ho denied the sovereign act of the State, and the implication that Georgia was entitled to the representative seat ia Con gress which he'had vacated by resignation. If Mr. Hill’s theory is correct, Lincoln is do ing nothing but his constitutional duty in whipping the refractory State back to its al legiance. Will the people sanction such prin ciples in the Gubernatorial chair at this time, or even at any time ? Yet Mr. B. II llill believes or pretends to believe, that his elec tion, or rather Governor Brown’s defeat by such a candidate will dissipate all encourage ment on the part of the Yank* e3 that w r e are divided. I might take up Mr. Joshua Hill’s letter which appears as an advertisement to the people of Georgia, and show that it is not inconsistent with reconstruction—for in his figure of the broken vase, he only puts it on the ground of impossibility. We have no expression that at heart he would be oppos ed to a re-union. Collect the broken frag ments and re unite them, aud he would be willing to have it done. Nevertheless, Sena tor HiU finds in him all that will discourage the Yankee nation; but if Governor Brown is elected he is very much alarmed lest our enemies will be encouraged by the appear ance of division among us. It is cnly neces sary to state the two names of Joseph E. Brown und Joshua Hill to show to the peo ple of Georgia the hollowness and heartless ness of Mr. B. II. Ilia’s timidity on the occa sion. Second—“Again, Gov, Brown ix too full of the spiiit ot controversy.” Mr. Hill. says he has had controversies with eveiy legisla ture wbiehdias assembled since he has been Governor, if by controversies he means that he has vetoed many of their measures, he has only exercised the prerogative which the constitution gives. He might in the same manner object to President Davis, for no Congress has assembled since he was elected. President, whose acts have all received liis sanction. This objection is cot only futile, but puerile and beneath notice, except that the man holding the position of Senator is entitled to notice from the reflection which the honor casts or bestows under this objec tion ot “the spirit of controversy.” Mr. Hill urges the stereotyped charge ol non support ing the present Confederate administration. On thi9 point it is useless to argue. Every one knows or ought to know that the only controversy between President Davis and Governor Brown was upon the constitution ality of the Conscript' law, and even here Gov. Brown would not ana did not permit this difference of opinion to intervene be tween him and his auty* to the Confederate government ia a faithful and vigorous prose cution of the war. After the President kce.v what Governor .Brown’s opinion was on the law in question, he placed oa record th s high ana do less deserving compliment— “ Your noble State has promptly responded to every ca’l that it has been my duty to make oa her, and to you personally, as her Executive, 1 acknowledge ray indebtedness lor the prompt, cordial and effective co-ope ration you have afforded me in the effort to defend our common country against the com mon enemy.” Can Mr. Hill show anj’such acknowledgment for bii candidate Lorn ‘resident Davis? Will he point out to the oiers of Georgia any prompt, cordial or ef- -Ctive co operation Mr. Josh Llill hasaftbrd- d in the effort to defend onr common coun ty against the common enemy ? Unt.l he an, away with this miserable c-xcuse for shelter uuder the wings of President Davis The third and last objection to Governor Brown is that the Confederate Constitution has matlc “Executive officers” ineligible to re-election, and custom ia Georgia allowed but one re-election of such officer. The Con federate Constitution has made only tho President ineligible and if Mr. Hill means by executive officers the President and Vice President it shows that be does not know the constitution which he helped to form. — Whether this mistake is the result of his ig norance or that convenient forgetfullness which characterizes his statement of laws and facts I have not timo now to discuss, but leave it with the people whom he pretends to instruct. His vindication of Mr. Joshua Hill against the charge of unworthiness on account of his Union sentiments are upon a par, in force, with his objections to Gov. Brown, and if his friend is satisfied liis ene mies certainly have no objections. But it is not only Gov. Brown, but Mr. Farlow also to whom Mr. B. II. Hill D opposed and he lets slip the cause of his opposition —“for he” of the straightest sect of that religion, “was a secessionist”—and this is fixe reason Mr. Senator Hill that you oppose Gov. Brown and Mr. Farlow both—they were secession ists. This is the issue you wish to make ia this election—if this be good ground of op position why not oppose President Davis; he was a secessionist “of the straightest sect of that religion.” Docs Mr. Senator Hill ex pect to give to President Davis effort to de fend our common country against the com mon enemy a prompt, cordial or effective co-oproation, by electing a Union man over Gov Brown and Mr. Farlow because they were secessionists “of the straightest sect ot that religion ?” If so he is mistaken and if he wifi leave the matter to President Davis who belougel to the same school of politics, he wifi ilad that he would prefer either to Mr. Joshua Llill, who Mr. Senator llill has discovered has “great talent and should be called to tho duty.” But the closing paragraph ot Mr. Senator Hill’s letter is the climax ot impudence and disloyalty and well worthy the past history and the present position ot ttiis most unsafe and unreliable demagogue. “A glorioiu victory has just crowned our arms ou the soil of Georgia 1 Even now it is inspiriting the hope and gladdening the hearts of our people. But ah ! my friend, let me tell you we have another enemy to drive back, to conquer, to destroy, before peace and stable government can ever again bless us with assured aud permanent pros perity. Ims that same restless, si epless, ac cursed enemy, which has produced all our woes. It is the spirit of controversy’, the proneuess to make issues, to create aud paa- der to prejudices, the crimination of extreme opinions, and the pliant art of fomenting jealousies and keeping up divisions, not to benefit the country, but to enable that seven headed dragon of republics, the de'magogue, to get office and to keep office. Wc can, we must, we wifi defeat the Yankee invader, but shall wc also drive forever away this other enemy whose ambitious wiles made the Northern man a fanatic, and the South ern mao a seceder, aud now mocks in tri umph over the slaughter of his millions?” Read it, voters of Georgia, and remember that iu the beginning of this letter he preach cd harmony and unity of action as the best mean3 of discouraging the enemy, and yet he places Joshua Hill before you and rc-o pens the issue of union or secession which was settled by the convention which separa ted Georgia from the old United States — Was it right iu Georgia to secede ? A ma jortty thought so, or tho State would now have been in the old Union. Many who opposed it at the time, now think it was right, and have stood by her with a fidelity equal to the struggle >u which we are now engaged. Mr. llill, however, is for punish ing them as he would the Yankees, and pla ces them in the same category with the Northern fanatic. Ho complains of the is sues and the spirit of controversy which made the Northern man a fanatic and the Southern man a seceder, and invokes and disturbs the sanctity of the grave to arouse your prejudices. Who! “ mocks in triumph over the slaughter of his millions” but B. II Hill?—who places Jefferson Davis by the side of Abraham Lincoln—the Southern se- cedcr aud the Northern fanatic, and is ready to whip the one with the bayonet and the other with the ballot ? It is not such men as Mr, B. H. Hill or bis candidate, Mr. Joshua HiH, who has lately crowned our arms ou the soil of the State of Georgia with a glorious victory. The men that have done this are your Jefferson Davis and your Joseph Browns, aud those who ATHEI Lessee anel Nam (Also of the Mobil* anl r, - XV. H. CRisj Montgomery Theatre*.'

But it is your I 1 A OOO Hills, par nobite fratrum, who can sec no ' difference between the Southern seceder who would defend your homes and your altars even to death and the Northern fanatics who would burn the one and overturn the other. How different the languages of au eloquent Christian statesman aud Divine. Alter sur mounting theevils which we had borne from the North, he says: “At last we determined to strike for our homes and our firesides,but not until a party had been organized and was triumphant which threatened to overturn our whole domestic and social life. Which party was right in all this? The Northern . — States, in their persistent aggressions, or we WANTED FOR SOLDIERS FAJWH IFS in our persistence ? Can any man, with any • - i i nmiLitu sense of justice, hesitate how to decide ?- What else ciuld we do? Could wc permit cverytliing'that made fife valuable to be torn from us, and we all the while stand mute and impassive ? Wc did what every high- minded people would have done- -transfer red the question from the courts of earth to the Courts of Heaven, and committed our cause to Him who reigneth in righteous ness.” And such every man felt, whether seceder or Union man, who had any sense of justice aud such every man will feel whose notions and sentiments rise to the magnitude of the struggle in which we are engaged. The let ter ot Senator Hill demonstrates there is a party in Georgia opposed to the war, and to who arc giving to President Davis’ effort to defend our common country against the common enemy, a prompt, cordial and ef fective co-operation. The lime is at hand, voters ot Georgia, for you to decide under the banner of w'hich party you will enlist— If opposition to the war, and consequently reconstruction, take the advice of Senator Hill, aud vote for Joshua Hi il; if for a vig orous prosecution of the war, and thereby a gulf as wide a3 the one which separated Laz arus and Dives, between us and the Yankee nation, vote lor Joseph E.
