Mr. Editor:—Some of the Brown men
aro complaining of the friends of Mr. Hill
for dividing the Stato at a critical time
and thus weakening onr cause. If they
are sincerely desirous of harmony, they
can have it just by withdrawing Gov. Brown
and leaving the track dear for Col. Sill.—
Every reason of propriety is in favor of
his course. Hill is the older man, the
riser man, the more modest man. Brown
has had the office long enough. He has
beenoften in quarrels with the Confederate
Government,-with the. Legislature,' with
the lamented Bartow, and with everybody
else who has stood in bis w$y. He has
been cried upas a man ofy great military
genius. Then let him quit the Governor’s,
chair and join the army. He is within
the consoript age, tough and hariy, and
prefers deat h to submission. He would
make a capital soldier.

Letter from Hon. Joshua Hill.
Madison, Ga., August, 31st, 1863.
GentlemenI am in receipt of your
favor calling my attention to .certain
charges made against we jiy wme of ray
assailants, and .asking me to reply, and
allow you to publish my vindication. Oth
er mends have written me letters ofsimilar
tenor. In order to relieve all honest mis
apprehension, I make the following state
ment, which I. trust will at least. be satis
factory to all who are willing to' think
favorably of me. Saoh.of my correspon
dents as remain unanswered, will please
consider this as an answer to them.
A few of the public journals of this State
have suggested my name as bile' fit to be
voted for in the approaching election for
Governor, It hae been done without any
agency or management of mine. Perhaps,
it has proceeded from a tew ardent friends
wlio had dotermjned to compliment me
with their votes—without regard to any
reasonable prospect of success. That I have
so mo such devoted friends, t have reason
to know. To these I .have always said,
while I could not complain of a well in
tended kindness—I would not consent to
occupy tho position .of an aspirant of seek
er for any office.” I now repeat that de
claration. Not that I was afraid or ashamed
to disclose my opinions on public affairs
but that I felt contempt, and disgust tor
the business of wooing popular support.
I have but little of self-reproteh on that
account—and am resolved not to add.to it.
l am well satisfied that our present condi
tion as a people, is mainly attributable to
the prevalence of thatdemoraluingcustom
The people have themselves, to blame—
that they have generally bestowed their
confidence upon those who were most
adroit in this despicable art. Have they
had-enough of it?*
I have never felt the desire to occupy
the Executive office, even in ordinary
times. Now, with its vast responsibilities
and its immense patronage,.it is surely not
a place to be coveted by any modest, con
acienlious man. He who accepts ii with
any other view than to devote his time uh!
talents to’the welfare uud happi iinj
people is unworthy of the stall >n.
It suite the purposes of those accustom
to kill-thoir adversaries by detraction, to
ascribe opinions and designs to mo that .1
never enterCrtinedl And friends, who have
had sufficient experience to know how lit
tle reliance is to be placed on pledges and
platforms^ ask for a sign.” It is charged
that I am in favor of a. reconstruction of
the Union—opposod to the prosecution oi
the row, arid ^Jqythe 'Administration of
President Davis. I answer these charges
to gratify a class of friends, who are really
ignorant of my sentiments, aud not with
tne hope or desire of appeasing the wrath
ot enemies, who regard mo as having de
signs on their commissary department. Men
will fight desperately tor subsistence.
Sinco my resignation of my seat as a
member of the Congress of the United
States, which occurred immediately upon
the withdrawal of .my colleagues, I have
taken no active part in polities. I had
often expressed my honest convictions,
that the destruction of the Un ion would*,
be followed by a long and-bloody war,
disastrous beyond precedent in its results,
to every section ; and that the idea of dis
solving the Union, with the hope of recoh-
etructiog it, on a basis more permanent,;
and protective of the rights of tho .slave
States, was fallacious and absurd. I com*
pared th^ effort to accomplish each an im
possibility, to the folly dl taking the most
delicate glass Vase.and crushing i 5to atoms,
in tbo vain hopo of collecting the scattered
fragments, and, by ro uniting them, mak
ing the shattered vessel more co nely and
durable-than it was before. It was a
strange delusion—without which the.
Union could not have been broken. I be
lieved what'£ said of the impossibility of
reconstruction. Time and events have

Hon. Joshna Hill.
Since it has become inanifeet. that!, the
Hon. Joshua Hill will receive a strori * sup
port for Governor, certain ne wspapers have J
labored to show that.he is a very - unsafe
man. They do wot deny that he has tal
ents, and experience, and integrity,, arid
patriotism, and coui-oga; and in this they
are prudent,for nobody would believe them
if they did. But the .substance -of their
chargee is that he was against secession.
So he was. He thought that it would
remedy none of onr wrongs, and would be
attended with an immense amount of evij,
and had the courage to say so. And this
is just what we like him for. A clear head
and ft brave and honest heart at a time,
when many were fielnded and many quail
ed, prove him fit to lend the- country in
tliese^stormy days-
Mr. Hill has never deceived the periple.
He never cried peace, when there was to
be no peace. None of the miseries of this
war can.be charged ort him. We have
been ruled by men ot a different sort—by
“ hotepurs. ao<f demagogues.” Where is
the peace and prpsperity-Which they prom
ised uaif we wbuld only soccde ? We must
maintaiu-with our best efforts the stand
whioh oar State has taken. When: w.e sire
sinking in the mire, it is more important
to.get out. than to learji ho y ye got in. :
But when tho men Who pat as in are-bbtms

not help giving them a slight touch of

To the -Editorof tke Watchman: v
I can searcely-open a paper without see-,
ingftn editorial article or tho account of a
^public meeting,’denouncing the re-edn-
structiotusts. What doeethiH rriean ? Oar
editors and citizens would never take .so
much trouble to crash a weak heresy, arid
I must therefore believe that thero is a
considerable party in. favor of re-construc
tion. This .is startling. A division at
homo on sp vital a subject is on all accoui. ts
to be deprecated. But'-permit' rue to sug
gest thatthe wrong course has been taken
to prevent it. To threaten the disatiected
with Violence and banishment when they
are already strong oriough to make head, is
only to make.them more desperate and da’h-
S rous. P-ersecutioo often reacts against
oiio who use it.
