them as they were; and it was t/ien that Gov.

them to the President upon terms which he
wasjauthprized to accept. This is our un
derstanding of the matter; and this is why
we askad-if. that brigade experiment wa& .AO
cording to law. The “Intelligencer,” by
a4ying^d» as i'ui’ deprived it
<
If it was for State defense, why was it
turned over to the Confedernte'Govern'ment aF
all ? The time when it was,reasonable to sup
pose the ; State would bri invaded, was much
neater when the brigade was' disbanded and
turned over to the Confederate Government,
than When it was.first organized, for State de
fense. The statement of the “ Intelligencer”
is a.sfultification.
Now, if the “ Intelligencer ” undertakes to
set this matter right, let it not simply make
assertions and unsupported statements, which
will no 4 even stand alone. Let it produce,
the documents. Let us nee the evidence, so
that we can judge of it.
As to those catnps bf instruefion, we dbn’t
by any means’objeet io them. President Da
vis tas the authority to establish them ; but
had Gov. Brown, either for Slyte or Confed
erate service ? If the State is invaded, or in
imminent danger, be has the power to call
out the.militia, and put them into service; but
has he authority to put men in camps bf instruc
tion, to train them for State defense, when we
are neither invaded, nor in iminent danger ? It
may be well enough to have men trained, but
did he have the authority to do so 1
He had no authority to organize them for
Confederate service. Why, then, did he so
licits the President to accept them thus organ
ized? And why did he organise the brigade
—-wh'tre was the necessity—if it was not for
Confederate service, 7 We would li)ie to have
these q'uestions answered.
As to our putting these questions “at a
late, Uny”—‘‘almost on the eve of election”—
we repel the imputation. We would scorn to
do s.s unfair a thing as is here intimated, and
Slinill never be guilty of anything so disrep
utable. If the people think proper to re-elect
Gov Brown, let them do so. We have pq
deavonsd to prevent ii, but we have taken no
unfair hr dishonorable step Io do so, and shall
not. We put these questions just at the time
we had good reason—something very nigh the
strongest evidence—to believei there was “ a
fault somewhere.”
For Congress in Tennessee-
Hou. Win. G. Swan, of Knoxville, whom we
have known for many years, as an old-time, .
consistent secessionist, is a candidate for Con

strong Union man, is a candidate against him.
He now gives in his adhesion to the Confede

; AgWHMtohim, is the Hon. E. A. Nisbet, one
of Georgia’s purest and best men, most gifted
statesmen, soundest Constitutional lawyers,
ablest judges, of ripe experience, and first
class executive ability. He has been most
intimately connected with our whole revolu
tion, and knows as much about it, and the
wants and necessities of our State as it Is pos
sible fer Gov. Brown or anybody else to know.
This plea of Gov. Brown and his friends about
his being acquainted with the duties of his
office, is utterly worthless against an-y man
who Js fit to be Governor at all; but if it was
of any force, could not be against Nisbet, for
he is this day better posted on all such mat
tersthan Governor Brown can be. He is one
oft he foremost, ablest and most trusted coun
sellors and legislators, both in our ofrn State
and the Confederate Congress, from the incip
iency of our revolution till now.
The vote you will give to-mqrrow will be
most important—the first under the Confeder
ate Constitution. Be careful to lay aside all
.passion and prejudice, and vote for the best
interest of the whole State, without being coil-'
trolhd by any narrow sectional views.
For the Stale Senate, Gen. A. J,.Hansell,
of Cobb, is a candidate on the Brown ticket, as
announced in the “ Intelligencer,” Governor
Brown’s organ in this city. With the same
announcetnen], appears the names of Dr. 11.
W. Brown and S. B. Robson, Esq , as candi
dates for the lower House, as Brown men, on
the-Brown ticket, and run on the merits of
their being Brown men. We had hoped all the
candidate! would tun oti their own merits,
without being bitched on to any man’s coat
tail, or made tools of to promote ihe interest
of any taau or party ; and we deeply regiet
that these three estimable and highly respect
able gentlemen have allowed their names to be
thus used by a mereclique.of brokenduwn, pap
sucking political expectants We have no ob
jeclion on earth to them voting for Governor
Brown, and electioneering for him if they
think proper—i tis is their right'; but we do
sincerely rogret lhat they have allowed thfe
use of their names to bl ip Gov. Brown, and
he to help them—thus dividing our people into
parties, by sauciicning a revival of the most
dangerous of all party customs —that of run
ning one mau because he is iu. favor of anoth
er ; and we.hope the people wilt so cast their
votes as gently to admonish these gentlemen,
for the future, thus to “ sin no more”—for
this reason alone.
Hqn. Samuel Lawrence, of Cobb, is. a can
didate fpr the Senate. In former days be was
well known as an old line Democrat. G. B.
Haygood, Esq . of this city, is also u candi
date for tne Senate—well known in the three
counties. These men are 'both in favor of
Judge Nisbet. In selecting between these two
clever and excellent gentlemen, we should try
to centre on the one who, all things consider
ed, has the best chance of being elected, as
they are about the same age, freight and ex
perience.
course everybody has heard, by some
tneabs, that “Cousin John” is a candidate,—
As John can talk better than we can write, we
will leave him where he belongs—iu the hearts
of the people
Col. Pitts is a candidate for the House. He
is a modest, well informed representative than,
and an old legislator. He is intimately con
nected with the mechanicae interests of AL
Lanta. » ■ ■ r
All these last named candidates for Senator
and Representatives, will vote for Nisbet. We
support them—not because they will
vote for Nisbet, but because they are capable
and faithful and are running On their own i
merits, and not as Nisbet snen; and have not
asked the support of the people on that score.
Not one of them has, at any time, asked us
to place his name on the Nisbet ticket in our
-paper. Although they are for Nisbet, they
have not hitched themselves on to Ins interests
arid made themselves a part of the Nisbet
ticket.
We consider all the candidates to he worthy
gentlemen, and have no personal unkindness
towatds any, and no disparaging word to say
of either of as good citizens.
With these remarks we leave the question
to ihe people, whose province it is to choose
whomsoever they will.
Avtvxn —The “pale descending year, yet
pleasing still, a gentle mood inspires,” and
leads us to declare that the heat is modera- |
ling, the days getting shorter, leaves begin to
fail, and the evenings becoming deliciously
cool and irTigorating, shewing the gradual '
approach of Autumn, “best portion of the va
rious year.” Every passing breeze wafts the
pleasing coolness amongst us that whispers
benignly the departure of mid-summer’s heat,
and the coming es Indian summer. A few
day# hence Ihe sweet zephyrs of October will j
begin to chant the dirge of an eventful Sum
mer as was ever entombed in the vast abyss
■of time. Beyond that lies the biting wind to
. mock October, the noblest, sweetest month of ,
' the year. We have, however, now only to do
i with the preseat, and of that we may say with
i the poet:
1 “ Thou art bearing hence thy roses,
I Glad santmer, fare the well; -
Thou art singing thy last melodies
In every wood and dell?"
[For the “Confederacy.”]
Go.v. Bruwn:w*id Judge Nisbet in the Up-
Country.
Editors u Southern Confederacy I notice,
in a late issue of the Atlanta “ Intelligencer,”
a communication purporting to be written
, from this place, in which the writer states
that WhitfiSld county is V all right ” for Goy.
Brown;.that it will give him a “large niajori
ty ” at the approaching election. This -I know
to be a mistake. Whi.field county, from my
own persona) (fiowledge— for Have- r-ecehtly
(since the nomination of Judge Nisbet) been
over the' greater port ion and ha veJriatle
diligent enquiry as to Brown’s strength—will
• not give the Go/rirnoy exceeding tw.o hundred
and fifty votes. Judge Nisbet, 1 confidently
BeHeve, will carry the CoOnty 'by at ledst f've
h^,^ridy^uri/y, and perhaps hundred
This.i' not only -■.-// optnlj |n, but it is the opin- i
ion “other gentlemen,” (to
quote frouiGov. Joe’s electioneering let-,!
ter,) who are candidates for the Legislature,
and have recently thoroughly canvassed the
county, drain ope end to.(he other. f \
Arid not only will Governor Brown’s votevfer
small in Whitfield, but I am informed, by a
geullemari, in whose B.UHBhient the-tqost im»
plicit confidence may be pla'ced, that Walker,
Murray, Gilmer, Gurdbn, Dade, Catoosa, and I
Chattooga, (counties in which business of a
leg/d nature called me much witbiu the past six
weeks,) will give Nisbet, handsome ma
jorities. It will be recollected that iu these
counties Gov. Brown received very heavy tna~
joritieß two years ago.
From all that I can gather—and I have la
ken some pains to inform myself qpou the
subject—this Congressional District will give
a very heavy votp against ; Brown ; and nut
only in this District, but almost every county
this side the Chattahoochee river will, if my
information be correct, roll up decided major
ities against him
The people in this end of the Stine have
no particular objection to his administration
—with only a’ few of his acts are they dis
pleased ; but they think, and very justly, too,
that Jn# time is,out, and he ought to retire—a
thing they intend to force him to do, if it can
be accomplished by their voting against him.
Aside from tne custom of a Governor re
tiring at the end of his second term—a pre
cedept which has been scrupulously observed
so long by our best men, as to give it almost
the sanctity of a Constitutional provision—he
should riot, in my opinion, be re-elected a
third time, because of his conduct with ref
erence to the arming of regiments for the war.
flis conduct, in this particular, I regard as
reprehensible in the extrenie, and should be
promptly rebuked at the ballut-box, by every
honest voter in tht? State. I believe it will be
rebuked*by the people, and that. Judge Nisbet
will be our next Governor

An Affecting Incident.
One of those affecting incidents occurred ut
the departure of the Yankee prisoners for
New Orleans, that, whet her concerning friends
or foes, must move the stoniest heart, zk young
lady, of Northern blrtli, who has been for'
•ometime a resident in this State, and, having
a luenuive occupation, preferred to remain
here after the war broke out, discovered, by
some means, that her brother was amongst the
pri&oners in this city. She had made several
ineffectual applications and attempts to see
him. Owing to the necessity of military law
in such a case, her most urgent requests had
been refused. For some weeks the poor-girl
had been too unwell to leave her home, but
was recovering.and sitting at her window just ’
'he prisoners passed by, on their way to
the depot. An impression seized her (bat her
brother was am oust, them, though
©f several years and the difference of dress
and circumstances rendered recognition diffi
cult. A misgiving, however—one of those im
pylsesjof the heart that are,peri to be stifled—
.caused her to start to her feet, and, hastily
throwing on her shawl, and bonnet, she
summoned p friend and hurripd to the depot.
There the guard was so watchful and the line
bo ! strict that she was tinable to approach with
in leu yards; but, with straining eyes aad
anxious love, did the poor girl endeavour to
scrutinize each probable form, until a mutual
gaze met her#, and revealing the object of her
search. Her brother recognized her. Dart
ing forward, but repulsed by the guard, each
precious moment threatened to sever them,
perhaps, forever. Who cap judge oft he agony
of the poor stricken sister! Some of the by
standees, becoming interested iu the scene,!
used their influence to permit- a message to be
conveyed to the prisoner. “Oh I is there any
thing I can do for him ?” she exclaimed. But
the wants of the prisoner were few. With
loss of liberty, what else could avail him ?
“ Take bim this,” said she, “ it is all I have
in the world.” And she handed a small, a very
small packet. So they passed to the prisoner
a few dollar bills, with some small change, not
knowing whether the poor boy would ever find
any need for it, or an opportunity of spend
ing it.
Soon the cars were ready ; open cars, with 1
seats arranged upon them, and a boarding
round the edge for security. He took bis seat
with the rest, in full view of his sobbing sis
ter, and the cars began to slowly move. With
an irresistible impulse she darted forward ■
Sympathy governed stronger than Ihw, the
crowd who were watching the departure ; an
opening was made through the guard, and she
: reached his hand. One grasp, so firm, so tight, ;
was fastened upon the hand thit she was
i drawn along the track, as the quietening mo- j
: tian of the engine was bearing her long ab- ;
sent brother yet further from her presence,
and not until her arm was well nigh s'raibed
i from her body, and the poor prisoner, as he j
j leaned himself towards her, was in danger of *
• being dragged from the car, could that long,
i loving grasp be loosened.
If Lincoln and his war advisers could but j
! have witnessed this heart-rending scene, and i
did they but reflect that thousands and ten
thousands of their countrymen and ours are i
I daily suffering sorrows such as these, and
even worse bereavements, must they not pause
and question the fanaticiem that is now ur-
