The Election.
It is over, and we rejoice at it. The people
have decided who shall be Governor, and in
that decision, no matter what it may be, we
shall cheerfully acquiesce. Whether Judge
Nisbet or Gov. Brown bo elected, we shall
give a cordial support to the administration in
every measure or policy it pursues that we
think right, and promptly condemn what we
think wrong, and whatever the public good
requires to.be condemned. If Nisbet be elect
ed, ho shall have no more support from us in
his administration than we shall give to Brown
if he is elected. Whoever is Governor shall
be measured by us according to his merits.
We take this occasion again to say that our
journal is not a party political sheet and nev
er shall bo. We have not hitched our fortunes
on to the coat tail of any man dr party. We
have undertaken to publish a news journal
for the people. This is our mission, and we
shall undertake no other. The people want to
see the news, and we shall supply them with
that. If it is possible, we shall furnish a pa
per that will be interesting and instructive to
everybody.
We shall be entirely independent in what
ever course we shall pursue on political ques
tions. We shall advocate whatever men or
measures we think best in every case, utterly
gardless of any partisan prejudices or section
al views whatever. When we advocate or
condemn men or measures, it shall not be as
partisan papers do—merely because the party
does or does not; we shall bo governed by
higher and more patriotic considerations in
every case.
We have opposed Gov. Brown’s reflection
because wo were honestly opposed to the
“ third term.” We do believe it is a danger
ous precedent. If he is defeated, wo shall
think the people have given a correct judg
ment on a case involving principles of the
greatest importance to our future well-being,
and the cause of constitutional freedom in the
Confederate States. If he is elected, we shall
cheerfully acquiesce in the decision of the
people. Wo shall hope that no harm in the
future will come of this dangerous example.
We shall have the same Governor as those
who will have chosen him, and can, and will,
endure whatever they can without a murmur.
In this country the people have the right to
choose their officers, and we shall abide by
their choice in all cases.
In conducting the canvass, we have made
no war on Gov. Brown’s administration, and
indulged in no scurrilous abuse of him. We
never shall towards any man who is tit to be
recognized as an associate in decent society.—
Wo have written but one article against him
in which we indulged in any severity—that
was our review of his last manifesto. It was
very unpleasant to us in that case—as it will
be in all such cases, should the necessity arise
—for we have no taste or liking for that kind
of employment. We did it then under a sense
of duly, for we did think it was in bad taste
and temper—altogether unbecoming the Gov
ernor of Georgia. This was our only reason
for indulging in those strictures. We promise
our readers that we shall not, in future, in
dulge in severe remarks, unless a similar case
arises—one that demands it—where it is plain
ly our duty.
Wo congratulate the country upon the fact,
that the canvass has been generally conduct
ed in better temper, and with more fairness,
than any that ever preceded it. We have no
ticed only throe journals whose course has
been unfair, undignified and unbecoming to
respectable journalism. This is a far less
number than is usual in a State canvass. We
hope there will be not a single instance of
this kind to “make a note of” in the next or
any future canvass.
If we have said anything that has been of
fensive to any, wo solicit their pardon. We
shall go back to our news, and when the next
canvass comes along, we shall take whatever j
side we honestly think best, or take no side at i
all, if we think that best. Our enterprise is ’
not dependant on the success of a party for its
existence: hence, we shall net be controlled
by the same motsTes that such newspapers are.

SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
Flag Presentations.
On the 25th ultimo, a beautiful Confederate
Flag was presented, by Mrs. Candler of Deca
tur, to the “Dekalb Murphey Guards.” Au
account of the presentation, with the address
delivered by Col. J. M. Calhoun in response, on
receiving the flag, on the part of the Company,
appeared in the columns of the Intelligencer of
the 29th ult., with the reqwest that we copy.
Since then we have been furnished with cop
ies of the addresses of Miss Issabella C. Smith on
the occasion of presenting a flag to the Camp
bell Grays, and the response, on the part of the
Company, by Lieut. R. W. Tidwell—at Mount
Gilead Church, in this county.
All these we would be glad to be able to pub
lish, if we could consistently. These flag pre
sentations, however, at this time, are not in
teresting to the general reader, as they were
when the war first commenced. They fill up
a large space in a paper, costing us largely,
and then are not read only by the persons im
mediately interested. We would gladly ac
commodate our friends; but we hope they will
excuse us for the reason named ; and further,
as it is far more painful to us to decline in such
cases than it is to those concerned, we hope
our friends will not ask such favors of us in
the future.
Price’s Victory.
This splendid achievement is not to be over
estimated. It is, in many respects, equal to
the battle of Manassas Plains, and, in some,
takes the shine oft’ thatcelebrated engagement.
The Hessians have now no stronghold in Mis
souri but St. Louis—though they have their
forces stationed at other points.
Price’s manner of approach! ng and surround
ing the fortifications of the enemy, are entirely
original—the like never having been attempt
ed before in the annals of American warfare.
He took the bales of hemp from the warehouses
in the city. His men got behind the bales and
rolled them whenever they were ordered to go,
in perfect safety. On reaching the desired
point, breastworks of the bales were speedily
erected with impunity, and in utter defiance
of all the lead their muskets and artillery
could shower at them.
This excels all that Gen. Jackson, at New
Orleans ever attempted or dreamed of doing
with his cotton bales. Those who are defending
our coast should make a note of this.
John Mitchell and Thomas F. Meagher.
These men were among the Irish “Patriots”
in 1848. They were both banished from their
country, and sent to Van Diemen’s Land,
charged with an attempt at revolution. Mitch
ell escaped, and Meagher, we believe, was
pardoned. They are both exiles from home,
and will remain so to the end of their days.
The Dublin “Evening Mail,” of the 20th of
August, says :
All the world knows how it is when Greek
meets Greek ; but, until recently, it was doubt
ful what sort of a “ tug ” would come, should
Irish meet Irish. The affair at Bull’s Run has
settled that question. When such of a collis
ion takes place, one of the parties incontinent
ly wheels to the right about and flies. The
Diomed of Waterford encounters a GZaucus
and a Sarpedon out of Monaghan ; and, eager
as he is for the fray, he somehow finds his
case—
“ Like honest Teague’s,
When he was run away with by his legs.”
The legs, indeed, of a whole battalion of Z >u
aves (Zouave qui peut) carry him will-henill-he
out of the field, and never stop till they land
him safely in New York—all lost but honor !
The Mitchelites remain masters of the situa
tion. Well, what says Hudibras—or is it Ilud
ibras who says it ?
“ He that fights and runs away,
May live to fight another day.”
Meagher, as we read, is rallying his well-wind
ed troop in Mike Phelan’s “superb billiard
room, corner of Tenth street.” No doubt, they
are playing cannons there, to the admiration of
all admirers, while their chief consoles him
self, perhaps, with the proverb of his natal
soil, “ The worse luck now, the same another
time.”
There is a canard from the Yankee camp -a
regular canvas back, it seems to be—that the
Mint at Washington is busy striking medals
for the boys of “the Run.” Why not as well
bodizsn the heroes of Sanfidaro here in old
Christendom ?
But is it not worse than Fontenoy to see the
mutual onslaught of green Erin’s patriotic ex
iles, in a quarrel which pertains not in any re
spect or degree to them ? Two sonsof Mr John
Mitchell bore arms in that memorable conflict,
where one side fled and the other did not pur
sue. Their battle-cry was Alabama, not with
out a dulcet recollection of that object of their
sire’s concupiscence—in seal is pendent is habe
noe. One of the promising young “ nigger
wallopers” was even brevetted on the ground
for his exploits.
“ Strange,” writes a sort of literary Machcath
in the Morning News, not knowing with which
of the heroes he ought to be the happier—
“ Strange, that they and Meagher should first
do battle on the same field, and if not as ene
mies, at least under different flags.” Oh, very
strange; but as strange things happen every
day.
“ Who’d have thought it?” said another wor
thy, in astonishment, when the gamecocks,
which he was carrying to the pit in one bas
ket, pecked each others eyes out: - Who’d
have thought they’d quarrel, when they were
both backed to fight in the same cause?"

Reh sed. —The Columbus Enquirer says :
We learn that President Davis has refuse! to
comply with Gov. Brown’s call for the return
of five Georgia regiments, with their arms, to
defend the coasts of this State. This is re
ported upon the authority of a private letter,
which adds that the Gov’ntfr is enlisting troops
I for six months’ service for the coast defence,
and that some companies already organized
with a view to service in the Confederate Ar
my have tendered their services to Governor
j Brewn for this purpose.

It will be seen that Brown’s majority in this

strength among the voters of our own county.
There are two regiments of soldiers in this

His real strength can be approximated by con
trasting the average vote of Robson and Dr.

will give Nisbet a majority of 453 in Fulton—
i which is about the relative strength of the two

Proclamation of Gen. A. s. Johnston.
Columbus. Kv., Sept. 22, 1861.
Whereas, the armed occupation of a part of
Kentucky by the United States, and the pre
parations which manifest theiateniion of their
government to invade the Confederate States
through that territory, have imposed it on
these last, as a necessity of self defense, to
enter that State and meetthe invasion upon the
best line for military operations ; And where
as, it is proper that the motives of the gov
. eminent of the Confederate Slates in taking
this step should be fully known to the world ;
Now, therefore, I, Albert S. Johnston, Gener
al and Commander of the Western department
of the army of the Confederate States of
America, do proclaim that these States have
thus marched their troops into Kentucky with
no hostile intention toward its people, nor do
they desire to seek to control their choice in
regard to their union with either of the Con
federacies, or to subjugate their State or hold
its soil against their wishes. On the contra
ry. they deem it to be the right of the people
of Kentucky to determine their own position
in regard to the belligerents. It is for them
to say whether they will join either Confeder
acy, or maintain a separate existence as an
independent sovereign State. The armed oc
cupation of their soil, both as to the extent
and duration, will therefore be strictly limit
ed by the exigencies of self defense on the
part of the Confederate States. These States
intend to conform to all the requirements of
public law and international amity, as be
tween themselves and Kentucky, and accord
ingly I hereby command all who are subject
to my orders, to pay entire respect to the
rights of property and the legal authorities
within that State so far as the same may be
compatible with the necessities of self de
fense.
If it be the desire of the people of Ken
tucky to maintain a strict and impartial neu
trality, then the effort to drive out the lawless
intruders, who seek to make their Slate the
theatre of war, will aid them in the attain
ment of their wishes. If, as it may not be
unreasonable to suppose, these people desire
to unite their fortunes with the Confederate
States, to whom they are already bound by so
many ties of interest, then the appearance
> and aid of Confederate troops, will assist them
, to make an opportunity for the free and unbi
, ased expression of their will upon the subject.
, But if it be true, which is not to be presum
ed, that a majority of those people desire to
adhere to the luited States and become par
ties to the war, then none can doubt the right
of the other belligerent to meet that war
i whenever and wherever it may be waged. But
harboring no such suspicion, I now declare in
the name of the government which I serve,
that its army shall be withdrawn from Ken
tucky so soon as there shall be satisfactory
evidence of the existence and execution of a
1 like intention on the part of the United States.
By order of the President of the Confeder
i ate States of America.

Official Restraints.
There is some degree of reserve and respect,
.by common consent, accorded to those who
are restrained, by official duties or position,
from replying to attacks or accusations.
In reply to some strictures of the Richmond
Examiner, Gen. Henry R. Jackson writes a
card, from which we take the following ex
tracts, as indicating the position of our mili
tary officers :
I deeply regret that while the “proper reti
cence” to which you refer in the same column
of your paper, has saved me from figuring so
prominently before the public, as having been
instrumental in “disconcerting Gen. Lee’s plan
of operations,” I am prevented by an article
in the “ Army Regulations” (see clause 151)
from going into a discussion of my personal
relation to that “plan of operations.” How
exceedingly rejoiced I should be to challenge,
and to have a full investigation of, that rela
tion, is well known to all who are officially
connected with me here, and who are thereby
advised of what I have really done. Assured
ly, however, it cannot be contemplated that
representations wholly false to history, should
go uncontradicted to the world; and, there
fore, I claim a place in your columns for the
following simple corrections as to facts :
Ist. It is not true that “the plan of opera
tions was disconcerted by the failure of the
column led by me to attack the enemy’s posi
tion on Cheat Mountain.”
2d. It is not true that “ I had made the re
connoissance ‘myself,’ but, on reaching the
enemy’s position, found him defended by a
stockade fort.”
3d. It is not true that my “column was
withdrawn” thus “entirely disconcerting the
movements of Gen. Lee.”
4th. But it is altogether true that the col
umn led by me discharged, to the last letter,
the duty assigned it in the “ plan of opera
tions;” that it proceeded successfully, though
with difficulty and exposure, to the position
it was ordered to take, driving in the pickets
and outposts of the enemy, of whom it killed
and wounded a considerable number; and
that, for three days and nights, it continued
to hold the position, ia the immediate pres
ence of the enemy, and did not leave it until
withdrawn by me, in obedience to an order
from Gen. Lee himself
In conclusion, I beg to suggest, ia no spirit
of unkindness, that while officers are engaged
in the anxious discharge of most arduous duty
upon the field, with sealed lips, editors should,
in common justice, be cautious of inflicting an
undeserved stab upon the humblest reputa
tion, knowing, as all men must, that in the
rapid movement of events, when the atten
tion of the public is from moment to moment
diverted to some new thing of excitement, a
name once dragged in the mire may be hope
lessly sullied.
I am, sir, respectfully, your obedient ser
vant, HENRY R JACKSON.

Western Virginia.
The Lynchburg “Republican” of the 27ih
ultimo, says :
“ A gentleman who came over on the Orange
Railroad on an extra train yesterday morning,
informs us that Gen. Lee had effected a junc
tion with Generals Floyd and Wise,near Mead
ow Bluff, and that they had marched their
combined forces for the purpose of attacking
the Federalists under Rosencrans, who occu
pied a strong position some few miles distant.
It was reported that a heavy skirmish took
place between the advanced guards of the two
armies on Tuesday, resulting in the defeat of
the Federals, with a considerable loss.
It was further reported by a gentleman di
rect from Jackson's river on Wednesday morn
ing, that information was received at that
point before he left, that a combined attack
was to have been made by Generals Lee. Floyd
and Wise on the enemy on Wednesday.”
The same paper on the 30th ultimo says :
From a passenger from Charlottesville ou
Saturday, we learn that reports had reached
that place, that the enemy had been repulsed
in their attack upon Gen. Wise’s column, of
which Gen. Lee had taken command in per
son, on the Big Sewell on Tuesday, and had
renewed the attack on Wednesday with the
same result. Again on Thursday morning ear
ly the fight recommenced, and was raging
with fierceness when the person who brought
the report left the neighborhood of the battle
ground.
The Federal loss is said to have been very
heavy, while Gen. Lee, protected by his posi
tion, bad suffered but very little either in kill
ed or wounded.
Safety of the “ Sumter.”
We have been much gratified to learn that
the Navy Department has late and authentic
intelligence respecting that merciless plague
of Yankee skippers, the Confederate steamer
Sumter. But lately the Yankees announced
that she was at the bottom of the sea, and
went so far as to say that Providence had
something to do with it. On both subjects
they appear to be badly informed. The French
war vessel which came up the Mississippi the
other day, brought direct news, received from
the British vessel of war Solent, that, on the
11th instant, the Sumter was coaling at Trini
dad, one of thejwindward isles of the West In
dies. The Solent had just come from Tarini
dad. We presume by this time the übiquit
ous rebel craft is again on her trackless war
path, carrying terror and destruction before
her. She is well worthy of the old partizan
name she wears ; now here, now there, going
where she is at least expected or desired, and
making as many morning calls upon her ene
mies as a fashionable lady, and, like the lat
ter. generally leaving an unpleasant remem
brace behind her.— Lynchburg Republican,
Sept. 30.
XHu The South Carolinian learns that an
English vessel, having many good things on
board, with a large supply of quinine, opium,
Ac., lately arrived in the Confederate States,
; and has been cared for.— New Orleans Pica
yune.
It would do Mr. Lincoln’s heart good to know
at what point this vessel arrived, and make his
' mouth water to learn whatother “geod things”
she brought besides “quinine, opium, 4c ” He
will find it out in good time.

will be withheld that will add to the attractive
ness and interest of our paper. To reimburse
us for the heavy expenses we have incurred—
not simply the ordinary expenses of publishing
a paper, but for our correspondence and tel
egraphs, we must rely in a great measure upon
receipts from subscriptions. We ask our friends
everywhere to assist us in getting subscribers.
Every man who takes our paper, so far as we
know, is pleased with it. We feel very sure
that we have not a single subscriber that could
not at least send us one more with but little et
fort, while many could send us a dozen or more.
Let every friend be assured that with the in
crease of our circulation, our ability to make a
better paper will be greatly enhanced, and such
means shall be used to the best advantage. We
hope those who have subscribed for our Daily
for a short time, will renew their subscriptions
and
Go it for the Whole Tear.
It will benefit us more, and save considerable
trouble in erasing and re-writing names, on our
mail book.
We have every possible facility for obtaining
correct news. This, however, costs us heavily,
and we hope every one who is so anxious to get
war news will admit the equity of subscr bing
and paying for our paper.
