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. Postau* Stamps. —The new postage stamps I oive cents) will, we understand, be issued by the Department in Richmond to-day. The col or is red—the design is the bead of President Davis, with the words “ Fve Cents” printed ‘ below.— cm Mercury, SOM tdftsw. 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?" —■ —— [From the Educational Journal.] REV. 11. C. lIOKXADY. This estimable minister of the Gospel has visited us, and preached to our people several very acceptably and impressive sermons. He is a self-made man, and deserves much credit for the energy and perseverance which have raised him to his present position of eminence and usefulness. He is now Editor and proprietor of * The Banner and Baptist,” published weekly in At lanta, and is one of the best religious papers ia the Confederate States. Price $2.00 per annum in advasce. —• • . 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. ♦ ♦ - Patriotism in the North is acomtnodi ty upon wnich the everlasting Yankees are speculating in every way.

Election Returns. FULTON COUNTY. Governor. Brown,' 1,083 Nisbet, 976 Senate. Haygood, 473 Lawrence ~ 307 Hansell 760 House. Robson, 507 Dr. Brown, 548 Thrasher 1,007 Pitts, 955 We have not been able to procure the vote at each separate precinct; when we do so, we will publish it. It will be seen that Brown’s majority in this county is 107. This is no indication of his strength among the voters of our own county. There are two regiments of soldiers in this ’ county, a majority of whom voted for Brown. His real strength can be approximated by con trasting the average vote of Robson and Dr. • Brown with that of Thrasher and Pitts. This will give Nisbet a majority of 453 in Fulton— i which is about the relative strength of the two i candidates in Fulton county. DE KALB COUNTY. Brown, 641 Nisbet, 302 Senate. 1 Alexander, 420 . Gay, 421 House. Candler, 49!) Rngsdale, 311 (One precinct to hear from.) The vote of Candler and Ragsdale is a true • Index to the relative strength of eazh precinct in this county.

Brown loses largely in Murray, Whitfield, Cass and other counties in Noath-West Georgia. 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. j A. 8. JOHNSTON. ; General Commanding the Western Depart- i 1 i ment of the Army of the Confederate States | of America. ♦ ♦ A Street Dvel ix New Ori.eaxs.—The Pic- | ayune of the 21st instant, says : At half-past five o'clock yesterday afternoon two gentlemen, named Edgar Deforge and Ed- , ward Dussumier, met on Rampart street, be tween St. Philip and Ursuline, and exchanged j four shots each with revolvers. Both were . mortally wounded, and were carried to their I residences. We were unable to learn the cause of this I melancholy affair. [No. 268.] AN ACT to require the receipt by the Post masters of the Confederate States of Treas ury Notes, in sums of five dollars and up wards, in payment of postage stamps or stamped envelopes, Section 1. The Congress of the Confeder ate States of America do enact, That so soon as the Postmaster General shall procure pos tage stamps and stamped envelopes, that the Postmasters throughoutthe Confederate States be required to receive the Treasury Notes of the Confederate States at par, for said stamps and stamped envelopes applied for shall be five dollars or other sums for which the Confed erate Treasury Notes are issued. Section 2. Be it further enacted, That the endorsement by a member of Congress of his name on newspapers or other printed matter sent by him through the mail, shall not by reason of such endorsement, subject him to letter or other increase of postage. ♦—♦— « 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.
