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.

Republicanrnstitutious. ; 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 CHEROKEE. Htall on, September 29, 1861. , 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- • ring them on, and that Incongruous “phiiau » j thropy" which they are straining as an excuse i for fighting A’ ichmond Eraniuer, Septembtrf ' 25fA.
