From Judge Nisbet’s Letter of Acceptance. ** IF I HAD BEEN CALLED OUT BY A CONVEN TION, HAVING IN View THE revival of old, OR THE ORGANIZATION OF NEW PARTIES, I WOULD, WITHOUT HESITATION WITHHOLD MY NAME. I COULD NOT LEND IT TO SUCH PUR POSES. FORTUNATELY, PARTIES IN OUR GREAT STATE ARE EXTINCT, AND HE WHO, UNDER EX ISTING CIRCUMSTANCES, WOULD SEEK TO DRAW ANEW THE OBLITERATED LINES OF POPULAR DIVISION, OR OPEN ISSUES CLOSED BY THE SE CESSION OF THE STATE, OR AROUSE PREJUDI CES AND ANIMOSITIES LAID TO REST BY THE WAR, IS SCARCELY LESS A TRAITOR THAN THE MAN WHO WOULD APPLY THE TORCH TO THE STATE CAPITOL OR, DWELLING AMONG US, WITH THE REPUTE OF A LOYAL CITIZEN, GIVE AID AND COMFORT TO ENEMIES.” Not So. The " Intelligencer” of yesterday morning has a short communication from “Jonas” about the meetings at the City Hall, in con nection with the call which was published in our columns for one to be held there last night. This correspondent says: “ First, they (the editors of the Confederacy) wanted a meeting to send delegates” to the Convention. If this writer does not X.now that we didnot want that meeting, be is very ignorant, for everybody else in this community knows it. He further says, that we now “come out and call on all those who approve of the late Convention to meet at the City Hall on Saturday.” JPe have made no such call. A call for a meeting last night was inserted in our columns. We put it in as we would put in other advertisemenfw —for the money. It was distinctly marked with the number of insertions, as all adver tisements are which every reader could see. Wo did oppose the meeting of the Conven tion, and were opposed to any meeting held anywhere to send delegates to it. This the ed itors of the “ Intelligencer" knew, and we sub mit: Was it fair and candid in them to admit into their columns an article stating that we called for a meeting to send delegates, know ing we did not? This writer says the call is for “ all those who approve of the late Conven tion, io meet at the City Hall on Saturday." He quotes these words as though he bad taken them verbatim from the call in our columns, when it contains no such language. The call is to “ all those who approve the recommenda tion’’ of the Convention, of Davis, Stephens and Nisbet, for President, Vice-President and Governor; and not to all who approve the Convention. We approve the recommendations of that Convention, but we opposed the Con vention, and shall continue to do the same thing towards all other Conventions; and while we are free to say that it had loss of the characteristics of a nominating Convention than any that ever was held in Georgia, we i are by no means reconciled to a Convention, i Entire harmony and good feeling prevailed. , There was no scrambling and no cliques—no ] bargaining and corruption, and no attempt to ( cheat the people out of their choice. It was , conducted fairly, and a patriotic spirit pre vailed at every step. It had none of the ob jectionable featarcs of a Convention about it— ' none. We speak what we know on this point 1 Withall this, we should greatly have pre- 1 ferred no Convention at all. We did what we 1 could to prevent it: but we are not so foolish 1 as to kick things to pieces and do mischief 1 generally because we can’t have things exact ly our own way. When we can’t get what we want, and believe honestly to be the best for the country, we will take the next best in ev ery case. We have no partisan ends to serve. The good of our country alone is at heart. We oppose Gov. Brown just as we did the Conven tion. think the third term as dangerous to our liberty and well being as a Convention, and a little more so. We have no war to make on Gov. Brown or his administration, and we by no means in sinuate that he would do worse for another term than he has in the past; but if ever this barrier is broken down and disregarded, one of the strongest safeguards of liberty will be irretrievably lost. It to. however, just as reasonable to ask us j to concede that Conventions will always be ! patriotic and make good nominations, as to :n torse the third term doctrine. We believe in one about as much as the other. SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY We oppose the Convention, and we oppose the Governor holding his office three terms.— What are we to do? We take choice of evils and go for what we think best for the country. If the editors of the “Intelligencer,” and those whom they allow to use their columns, will not misrepresent us, we shall not com plain. Didn’t Answer. The Intelligencer thinks our question was “flippant.” We don’t so understand it. Flip pancy is defined to mean “fluency or volubil ity of speech.” Our question was -souched in respectful lunguage and contained but few wards ; so it could not have flippant. We wanted to know if the Intelligencer and the friends of Gov. Brown were going to sup port the Davis and Stephens electoral ticket recommended by the Convention at Milledge ville, but it has failed to respond. The editors say there is time enough yet to determine this question, and so there is ; but we wish them to say now. Do they aim at ignoring the ques tion till after the election for Governor and then to get up an opposition ticket to the one now before the people ? If they intend to wait till then to give their suppoit to that ticket, they might as well not give it at all.— After then, neither their support nor opposi tion will be needed or regarded. The editors have discovered a motioe in our question, which they say is “apparent,” &c. We did have a motive in it, which we made not the slightest attempt to conceal. We sup posed, when we wrote it, that everybody would at once see the motive ; therefore we are not surprised at the editors of the Intelligencer making the discovery. But come, tell us: Are you going to support the Davis and Stephens ticket, now before the people, or are you going to oppose it ? It will cost you but a word to say yes or no. We ex pect to press this question till you answer it. You might as well do so at once and let us make the most of it. Come, friends, show \ our hand. Let us Know how and where you stand. — Occupation of Mayfield. Mayfield is in Graves county, Kentucky, about 25 miles from Paducah, 30 from Colum bus and 35 from Hickman, Kentucky, and Cairo, Illinois. Get your map and look at those various points, and you will at once see that Mayfield is a most important strategic point. On the morning of the 13th Sept., quite a number of regiments, battalions and compa nies, belonging to General B. F. Cheatham’s brigade, left Columbus, went to May field and took possession of the place. The importance of this step cannot be overestimated. Lin* coin’s troops are on the soil ot Kentucky in three or four places. Openly they are recruit ing and arming the men to make war on our friends in that State, destroy their property and crush’them entirely out; and then make a descent on Tennessee. It is to our interest to keep the war off our own soil and go to the relief of our friends in Kentucky at the same time. Special Correspondence ot the]“ Confed eracy.” COMING TO “RIGHTS” REMOVAL TO CAMP STEPHENS THE MODERN JORDAN THAT MARCH AND ITS RESULTS SLEEPING ON ARMS MUNSON HILL FIGHT GEN. FOS TER AND THE TENTS ENEMIES IN GEOR GIA HE ALTH, AC., AC. Camp Bartow, ) Manassas, Sept. 12. j Dear Confederacy: 1 have received your paper with great regularity, now since the partial righting up of things at Manassas, which, since the memorable 21st, has been confusion confounded, ruin disordered ; in deed, destruction seemed a part of affairs.— Boxes, bales, regimental and ordinance stores, forage wagons, without horses, tents, old lumber, otlal, hides, and every conceivable variety of other stuff, was thrown out, in and around, in the greatest profusion. Now, how ever, shanties, express offices, sutlers’ tents, freight depots, with many other buildings of minor importance, have been erected; the grounds freed, comparatively, from rubbish and disorder, now shapes itself into regular ity. The encampment, for half a league out, is under guard, so that those whom curiosity had brought hither, are made to hustle out sans ceremonie, whilst the issuance of new or ders forbid the arrival or departure of any one, on any errand, or from any quarter, with out a special grant from headquarters. This is as it should be, for, before this, imposition after imposition was practiced, in open day, upon officials, Jyr a system of dodging, known only to the timid and cowardly. Hundreds have escaped thus—some to their homes, oth ers to parts unknown, and many to regions uncared for, even by themselves. Points of interest relating to the disposition of our forces in this division of the Army, are scarce, yet, under the eye drift circum stances that must, some day not very distant, make events. To the Potomac all eyes are turned, hopeful of some healthier exercise than that of nursing arms ard airing tents. Gens. Beauregard and Johnston are here, busy map ping out our destiny. To-day, they and suit swept by my humble canvass (osnaburgs) gauntleted and spurred, looking after some thing yet unknown to us. Camp Stkphbks, ) 41 miles S. K. of Fairfax C. 11., September 13. J Since writing the above, orders a ere re ceived to strike tents and take up our line of march towards the modern Jordan, which, if you remember, is a small stream thet divides Paradise from Pandemonium ; but, before reaching its sacred border, our Georgia wedges were thrown, base down, on a rich field of clover, hedged in on all sides by alternate clumps of pine, brambles and pit-falls, and the brigade camp, named in honor of our worthy Vice-President, A. H. Stephens. The brave fellows, however, had scarce two hours rest, when summoned in all baste to march to —they knew not where. Leaving camp at 9.30 P. M., they hurried on, as on every previous march, through a drenching rain, without food, and scarce one blanket to a mess. Mystery seemed to en velop affairs, whilst the night put on a double darkness, that pained all eyes. Groping their way over hedges, along muddy by-paths, un der dripping cedars, and through corn fields, a point was reached, which they supposed was buttheselndgeof the enemy’s camp; but, alas! hard labor, with grounded arms, was required ; for, no sooner than a halt was made, was a counter’inarch ordered to Fairfax station, 2| miles, to unload a train of Ordnance and provision stores, just arrived from Manassas. To come now to this humble service was al most too much for their now thoroughly warmed up natures to bear. Yet the task was performed so rapidly as to shame old Time himself. I found the whole two regiments, 9th and 11th Georgia, back fretting over their 16 mile march, when Dr. C. and myself reach ed camp. We are now sleeping on our arms, to move at a moment’s notice. Brisk times ahead. Skirmishers report the enemy in full force, 80,000 strong, just across the Chain Bridge. Beauregard and Johnston are ahead of their respective divisions, just in advance of us.— All are on tip-toe, and some sick. The fight at Munson’s Hill, on the Potomac, or rather South of Alexandria, was a hand some affair. The rumor in camp is to the effect that some of our boys threw a few sam ple shot into 4,000 cavalry, infantry, and one battery of McClellan’s forces. The old tri pod Me. could not stand such imposition— such impudence. Gathering courage from impulse, he made a bold strike, to brush us off the hill, but the few braves that held it stood up to the scoundrel, and sent him back on a double-quick ; leaving nine dead on the field, some few pieces of artillery, a number of guns, small arms and camp equipage. This fight, doubtless, brought our Brigade thus near the (to be-fought) battle of Lodi. I see, in your issue of 4th Sept., an extract from my letter of the 20th of August, with comments thereon, by Q. M. Gen. Foster, in which he censures, or rather corrects me in very respectful terms, relative to the tents furnished us by the State of Georgia. He as sures the public that Gov. Brown has nothing to do with the tents, or their manufacture; and that, hence, 1 did him injustice, when I asserted that the wedges now in use were of inferior quality. It was not my intention to blame any one, in thus exposing an evil so annoying to myself, the eimfort of the men, and so ruinous to health. Now, without ad ditional complaint, I will simply remark, by way of correction, that those tents occupied by the companies mentioned in my letter, are of ordinary osnaburgs, and, save those of the officers, are without flies. I must, therefore, respectfully insist upon being correct in my first statement. lam here, honestly endeav oring to do uiy duty—withholding nothing— by way of manual aid, or the open exposition of evils that exist, let them cotue from any source whatever. I admit that facilities for obtaining suitable material for making tents are exceedingly limited; yet, certainly no difficulty can possibly exist as to propoi lions and patterns, as this has nothing to do with the texture of the goods used in their man ufacture. One or two companies—the Houston Volun teersand Walton Infantry—have tents of large dimentions, with wall and fly, which answer every purpose desired. lam aware our re sources are few, and that the army we are so suddenly called on to arm, equip and feed is enormous ; but I must insist upon the propor tion and the uall and fly, let the texture be wbat it may. I hear it whispered that there are certain parties in Georgia, having loose capital at command, who are, and have been for some time, buying up Georgia State bonds held by parties North, at 40 cts. in the dollar, hoping thereby to reap a rich harvest when our diffi culties shall have ended. This system of fi nanciering is a bold species of robbery, and should be taken hold of and corrected now while incipient. I credit this simply from cir cumstances alone, such as have come to my knowledge within the past two weeks. The health of the Regiment has much im proved now since a fight seems certain. The boys treat the prospect sportively, evincing their anxiety by laughter, mirth and song.— You may rest content in the belief that should a brush take place, the Eleventh Georgia will leave many a scar to tell the tale of their bravery. Before this reaches you. I shall probably have left for the fight mapped out as but a few miles off. MORE ANON. I Special Correspondence of the Southern Confederacy. ANOTHER LETTER FROM “ELBERT.” THE HEALTH OF THE ARMY. Maxassas, Va., Sept. 16th, 1861. Afcssrs. Editors: The necessary privations , of camp life and perils of the battle-field are : borne by the Southern troops with the most patriotic fortitude ; but there are some affairs conducted in a manner which patriotism can neither suggest on the part of those wbo con trol them, or prompt endurance of on the part of those who are most directly affected by them. At present I shall only allude to such things as are connected with the health of soldiers in the camps. The past month has been one in which there has been a reckless waste of life in the army, ! in consequence of which our cause is now suf fering. The want of regulations which might ; have been enforced, has doubtless sent trou ; ble to every Southern heart, besides drawing largely on our resources in men and money. In the first place, unmerchantable provto i ions, such as no one would dare to offer in our markets, have been occasionally thrust upon ' the army. In the second place, the hygienic regula- lations of the camps are mainly left in the hands of the soldiers, who have not the requi site amount of philosophy about them to ap preciate the deleterious influences which nat urally arise in large collections of people, or to guard against their effects on the human system. A large proportion of the fatality of the ar my arises from want of the proper enforce ment of hygienic regulations, such as the ju dicious selection of locations for camps, prop er construction and arrangement of tents and strict regimen. Now, I am not forgetful that the Govern ment is in its infancy; and having the bur den of a great war on its shoulders, cannot extend its powers into all the minutiain every movement of the army; that this particular juncture is not the most favorable time for the introduction of systematic regulations in all the sanitary details of camps and hospitals, nor, that relief associations are making large contributions to the hospital department; but the Government has the power to intrust the health of the army to efficient men, and the whole people are entitled to, and ought to de mand the faithful discharge of, each duty of every public servant, no matter what may be his rank. Although it may often happen, as at the pre sent time, that other matters than the health of and comfort of soldiers may claim the first at tention, there can scarcely be a combination of circumstances, in which there cannot be some means available by which great good could be done in preserving the health of soldiers. Truly the good people of Georgia are acting a noble part through their hospital and relief associa tions, but in order that soldiers may realize the comforts thus offered, there must be a co-ope ration on the part of those intrusted with the care of those for whom they are intended. There is a remarkable want of vigilance in a a great many particulars connected with the welfare of the army, and consequently, the suc cess of the enterprise in which the country is engaged; but the greatest evil of all is in the neglect of proper sanitary measures. Great wars in civilized nations have almost uniformly confirmed the opinion that the per ils of the battle-field are not so great as those of disease—then, all must admit that more at tention and greater ability should be engaged in preserving the health of the army than in the military direction of the campaign. One illustration will serve to make the point more forcible : At the close of one of the bat tles in the present war, a regiment was kept lying in the entrenchments day and night with out any kind of relief, or the accomplishment of any good, until the men were worn down with fatigue and exposure in the mud and wa ter. Subsequently, when they resumed duty, only ninety men were able to muster. Where good can be act omplished, no essen tial sacrifice is too great, but where no advan tage is gained, every loss is irreparable. Our cause is worth all that we can expend in money and life, and our success depends on a judicious expenditure of both; then let every one who can aceompiish anything in the right direction contribute his mite. The war news will be very interesting during this week. Heavy cannonading is now going on in the direction of Alexandria. The tele graph will doubtless bring you stirring news before this reaches you. The 15th Georgia Re giment is on the move. You will get further news from them soon. ELBERT. By the Postmaster General of the Con federate States of Amer’ca. A PROCLAMATION. WHEREAS, By the provisions of the 3d Section of an Act of Congress, approved August 30tb, 1861, entitled “An Act to collect for distribution, the moneys remaining in the several Post Offices of the Confederate States at the time the postal service was taken in charge by said Government, it is “ made the duty of the Postmaster General to make pro clamation that all persons who are citizens of the Confederate States of America, and who may have rendered postal service in any of the States of this Confederacy, under contracts or appointments made by the United States Government before the Confederate States Government took charge of such service, shall present their claims to his department, veri fied and established according to such rules as be shall prescribe, by a time therein to be set forth not less than six months, and requiring the claimant to state, under oath, how much has been paid and the date of such payments, on account of the contract or appointment un der which said claim occurred, and what fund >r provision has been set apart or made for the further payment of the whole or any por tion of the balance of such claim, by the Gov ernment of the United States, or of any of th - and they shall also state, on oath whether they performed fully the service ac cording to their contracts or appointments du ring the time for which they claim pay, and if not, what partial service they did perform and what deductions have been made from their pay, so far as they know, on account of any failure, or partial failure, to perform such service.” Now, therefore, I, JOHN H. REAGAN, Post master General of the Confederate States of America, do issue this, my proclamation, re quiring all persons having claims for postal service, under the foregoing provisions of the 3d section of the above named act, to present said claims to the Auditor of the Treasury for the Post Office Department for examination, on or before the loth day of March, 1862, in order that I may make a report to Congress of the amount thereof, as required by law. Blank forms for presenting and verifying the claims will be furnished on application to the Auditor of the Treasury, for the Post Office Department And I hereby require all persons who have heretofore collected moneys as Postmasters in the States now composing the Confederate States, and which they had not paid over at the time the Confederate States took charge of the postal service, to make out, under oath, and send to the Auditor of the Treasury for the Post Office Department, on or before the 13th day of October next, a general or ledger account with the United States, for the service of the Post Office Department, up to the time the control of the postal service was assumed by the Confederate States, in accordance with the general regulations of the Post Office De partment. issued May 15th, 1859, page 106, exhibiting the balances in the possession of such postmasters.
