Cot. Brow n’ii Letter.
We don’t Uke it*t the >'g bt of good thing
sbouli be bid under a buebel, and rather than be
thought inimical to the interests of Got. Bnotry,
cbeerfnllt-giTe the bcneSt of our large circulation
to bis recent Utter oj a rpUinc* of the nomination
60 unanimously tendered him “by persons of both
political parties”—more familiarly kne-rn as that
übiquitous myth.Sary Gamp’s Mrs. Harris. What
the Governor means by “both political parties” is
not vtrv clear, in face of the fset that laat year
there acre political parties in Georgia, more
recently two, composed of former partisans of dis
tcrent parties, and in face, too, of his declaratioo
that, fortunately for the country, we have at
length reached a period when party diftrtncet
hare pass'"! away.” Why, then, lug m loth par
ttee, when there ate cone? but we let this seem
ing blunder pass, as we have no disposition to be
captions or hypercritical.
The Governor's argument against a Convention
seems to us very just and sound, and most of it,
to our mmd, is equally applicable against the
justice and propriety of conventions at any time,
for the purpose of nominating candidates. But
the Governor thinks that these conventions, in
party times, “were necessary for ths preservation
of party discipline and party power" —that is,
were necessary to force the people to cast their
votes for two candidates only, and thus enable
” the party in the ascendancy, in a particular
locality,” to “prevent defeat,” by preventing a
division of their votes upon those they preferred,
and securing a concentrauoo upon those whom,
in ali cases, a minority of the party commanded
them to support. The Go-*.rnor evidently knows
ail about these conventions and caucuses, how
tbaj are get up, aud who appoints delegates, and
he comprehends as feny la any one, that they are
the minority, conspiring to coutrol the majority
of the people, aud to elaud between them and
tho.r nonest choice, li-s understand* fully what
a fafee is this thing of deiegat.-g from the people,
when to fact, “the people were at home attending
to their business, while the politician* and office
seeker* were at the Court Hou*e assuming to re*
• present them, aua to exercise at another time and
plac**. the prerogative whit;, the Constitution gives
the people, of .selecting their own tuiersat the
ballot box.” Aud Gor. Brown knows this is
true always of all conventions. We ore glad to
hare his aid and assistance in breaking up, we
hope forever, this whole caucus business. The.
Governor comprehends it ail so thoroughly, that
wt are mors than tempted to believe that be mast ;
bs a conetant reader ts the Chronicle <k Sentinel — ,
though perhaps oh the */y, to avoid suspicion.
But the kernel of the Utter is in the proposed !
acceptance of the burden of Gubernatorial duties ,
for two years more, if called opon, notwitbstand j
ing toe chances of losing reputation. Although
the concluding portion of the letter is a little
cloudy aod ambiguous, we make out from it that
tbs Governor will accept the otfice if elected, for
while he “can neither enter into a canvases nor
into any political combination for the office,”
he “could not refuse to serve, if the rnaoses
of tbo people, without regard to old party
line-', were bv their united suffrage* at the ballot*
box, to demand my services for another term”— ,
which wc tuk-to meu:, “not to put too fine a,
point on it,” if he ge’ a majority of votes at the |
October eieutiou. it i* possible, however, from j
the pc -ill:;;! phiiin< ology.us* (1, that the Governor !
might reiuo to serve” another term, if elected
only by a bare msjyrity instead of by the “unite !
stiff ■i i But we hope he does not mean any
dodge of that sort.
Spiteful people, obitiuate opponents of Gov.
Btow*v, may say there is a great deal of egotism,
vanity und self-sufficiency in his parading thus,
iii his letter of ecceptanc *, the reasons why be
should be thf in again to rule over us. But we
are unable to discover any thing of the kind, tor
the Governor uses, aud expressly nays so, not his
own arguments, but trie reasons given by the
aforesaid Mrs. llauri*, otherwise called “persons.”
Another convincing evidence that these argu
ments do net indicate originality, egotism or
vanity in Gov. Brown, is the fact that they lmve
been used before, every oueofHhein, to our certain
knowledge, by “penons,” nnd they are the only
ones over used. It might indicate perhaps a
paucity of numbers among these “persons,” wefe
wo to tell how few they are, but this is unimpor
tant. Gov. Brown is now fairly in the held for a
third term—beat him, who can. lie usks no odds
of Conventions, politician* mad office-seeker*, but
is able to go it blind, play it aloue, and will re
ceive the unanimous and undivided support of
txMO newspaper*, nnd of every man — that votes for
him. A better mau may beat him, a worse may
not. A free tight and no favors, is the rule of the
game. Turn loose.
A letter to the Southern Confederacy from Mon
terey, where Ucu. llknuy U. Jackhon is in com
mand of some 4,500 soldiers, including our
Georgia hoys of the First Regiment, says about
two die daily, usually from typliod fever. The
Georgians, who were generally allowed a short
time ou furlough, for the purpose of recruiting
their health, have not suffered to much from sick
ness as the Virginia regiments. The first Georgian
was, August 9tb, under comraaudof Major Harvey
Thompson, Col. Ramsay being in Richmond, aud
Lieut. Col. Clakke, abseut ou business at Staun
tou. It is highly probable that our force in West
ern Virginia, 15,000 strong, under Gens. Lkk,
Wise, Jackson, Loinino and Floyd, will soon
surround Robkncranz and Cos.
Second Gkokuia U to; a ext.—The Columbus !
papers auuounce, on the authority of a private j
dispatch, that the Second Georgia Regiment lett on j
Thursday, 15tb, for Aquia Creek.
Os this regiment, the Richmond correspondent |
of the Charleston Courier says : “ I went out ye*:
terday e’ mug to fee the troops eucamped near
the reservoir, and was present at the drill aud
dress parade oi the SecoudOeorgia Regiment,Col.
Seoime*. They bear the palm lor drill. The uni
veisal testimony of all who have seen them is,
that they are the best drilled Regiment that has
becu in Richmond this summer. They moved
with so much accuracy and precision, and so
much ease, it was beautiful to watch them.”
More “Pocket, Flic**.”— Ten more of those
huge 82 pouu tart pa si‘d through here to-day, A
ball from oue of these fellow* striking a rntfn m
the bread b.sket, would produce, w© should say,
a **<.ieueed unpleasant sensation.”
Four car loads of chains and anchors, probably
for our young Navy, which the Federalists aftect
to despise so heartily, were also ** rout* for some
point where they can be made useful.
No Battle at Lbesßukg.—The Savannah Vnp
of Moudttv baa a special dispatch to the effect
that the report of a tight at Leesburg on Wednes
day lust whs entirely uutouuded. Richmond pa
pers of Saturday also fail to give confirmation to
the report.
Gen. Zollicoffer, at Cumberland Gap, ha* ta
ken stands of arnes intended for the Union
men cf East Tennessee, and has oaptured eighteen
of the ring leaders of the rebellion in that quarter.
The Riyir.—The abowery weather of the past
few days, is beginning to tell upou the Savannah.
It was at about 6 feet at 10 o’clock this morning—
not very high water, certainly, but many thiuk
we are to have something of a flood, and refer to
the frequent and copious rains to sustaiu their
opiuion. The belief obtains, also, that we are
now having our equinoctial storm. As for any
practical beuedt accruing to commerce from hav
ing the Savauu.ih iu “good boating order,” it may
** well “dry up” in its bed. Our atearmers have
a great rush of uothing to do just at present.
Our friend Kicu, the Bridge Keeper, informs
■us that frequent calls were mane upon him
through last night to learu how high the water
was.. The planters fear a rise which would be
exceedingly disastrous to the corn crop on their
bottom lands. A flood now would doubtless do
serious injury iu this respect, and we trust the
calamity may be averted.
Ww< a.\d Gossip op ihk Pat. —The Charles
ton Jfrtvury of the 14th iost., says ‘ —Our “mer
ehant* aud politicians were all agcg yesterday on
the subject.- of the war, the blockade and the for
eign relations of the Confederate States. There
tv at plenty of news afloat, but whence or on what
authority it came, seemed to be a mystery. That
the faces ot the knowing ones were not brightened
by causeless rumors, would seem to be proved bv
the fact that many of them were readv to back
their oouvictious of the state of affairs by prttty
heavy wagers. One gentleman offered to bet upon
the recognition of the South by France and En
gland within iorty days; while another, still more
sauguiue, was anxious to wager that within Iwenij
days a British vessel, laden with merchandize
would find her way, blockade or no blockade, into
the port of Charleston. The talk, also, was that
the Confederate States have succeeded in pur
chasing in Europe two first-class iron clad war
steamers, and that aims, shoes and other needful
articles, in untold quantities, were being cleverlv
spirited into Pixie Land, somewhere between the
Potomac and the Rio Grande. We do not vouch
for these Tery gratifying rumors, but merely re
late them as we beard them.
Notwithstanding the orrcular intimation in a
city upper, which was “confidently of the opinion
that no change or proposed -hnnge in martime
laws and international compacts has been adopt
ed by Congress,” the impression was very gen
eral, among well informed men, that such a change
had been adopted by Congress—and that it was a
change of no small significance. W e shall, doubt
less, ere many days have passed, know more about
the motives which led to the adoption of this im.
poriant measure.
Prof. H- H. Teem has been appointed, aud
has accepted, the appointment of General Agent
for tbs Georgia Relict and Hospital Association,
and also that of Special Agent for the Sixth Con
gressional District.
The Confederate Suttee, at Griffin, suggests that
the Nominating Convention be postponed till the
Vlth September, to avoid the difficulty suggested
by Gov. Bbown, that the delegates appointed on
sale day in September could not reach Milledge
ville by the 4th.
Ksockeo into “It.”—Some malicious wretch
the other night entered the office of the Southern
Ul ion, at Griffin, and tumbled all the type imo
pt- Things ere so badly mixed up that the pro
pnetor eaya it will take full a month to get them
property adjusted.
The Barri-Guards, Capt. W. H. McCcllocoii,
64 men, pasaed through here this morning ; also

The Old Taint.
Blood will tell, and so too will corruption ot
blood. The old taint will break out no * and
j th * h • it be dormant for a generation or
|W3 it beems impossible for it ever to be entirely
eradicated, unless possibly by a large infusion of
new and vigoroob and healthy blood. We have
been led to these refle tions by the recent exhibi
tion in Sew England, and the threat of it in New
o*k, of the old intolerant spirit of Furitauism,
which generation* ago burnt and drowned women
as witches, persecuted ana maltreated Quakers,
and warred on Baptists, Methodists, aud all who ,
differed in op nion from the canting hypocrites,
who fled from oppression in Europe but to in- j
augurate it themselves in America. We allude to
the destruction of two anti war presses in New I
f Hampshire and Maine, and the cowardly threat, ;
| instigated by the Herald and Tribune, to do the ‘
same for the New*, Day took nnd Journal of Corn - i
merce, in New York city.
This is bat tLe breaking out afreh of the old
witch-burning Furitanism of the decendants of the
Mayflower passengers, and other early settlers of
New England. It is the very spirit of bell itself,
toe absolute incarnation of mobocracy, which de
fies law and gospel, mocks at God and truth and
just’ee, deifies its own evil nature, and demands
that, its behests be law for the time. It is a*com
pound, wherever and whenever found, of hypo
cricy, self-righteousness, bigotry, intolerance,
cruelty and cowardice. It i* the Kpirit which
wars on the weak, on women and .children, on
unarmed men, and in number* of ten to one, or
even as cowardly as a hundred to one. It re
quires absolute agreement of all to its opinions,
assumed to be infallible, end demasds obedience
to its insane, turbulent will. It is the enemy of
government, the enemy of peace, the enemy (ft
social order, and of private rights. No Govern
ment which is not willing and strong enough to
quell it, or, failing in that, to bring its instigators,
aiders and abettor* to condign punishment, is j
worth a copper, nor does it deserve the allegiance
of any true mao.
This is nothing more than we have expected of
the North, and is but the beginning of what we
| predicted of that lawless people, in these column*?
a year ago. They are not fit for liberty : they do
j not deserve it, and they have well nigh lost it.—
They have submitted to the usurpations of their
) elected Executive, submitted out of hate to Os,
aud because public virtue is too feeble in their
midst to raise it* voice, or raising it, to prevent
its being drowned in the hoarse roar of the pas
sionate mob. The people of the North, in their
heedless fanaticism, have brough these things on
i on themselves, and now they arc powerleas to
enforce tbeir own laws and maintain order, and
I well deserve tbeir fate. The outrages committed
1 in Concord and Bangor, and threatened in New
York, are but the beginning of the end. The law
i is dead ; and the brutal, c-uel, coward mob must
obey the behests of its own fury. It may,"almost
surely it will, change its attack, but the spirit
will be there still. The Tribune, which doubtless
feels a savage gloating at what is done, will find
itself attacked by this same demon by-aud-by. It
is the usual course—it is the universal law.—
While the object of the mob’s fury changes, the
mob'eontinues unchangeable—true to iis'instincts,
it wreaks itself on its first opposers, and then
turns again to send its original instigators. They
must bow in the dust, its most abjeet cowardly
slaves, to save themselves, and even then are
never safe. Like a frightful phantom the mob
follt-ws them waking or sleeping.
These people are living under a Government
with a written Constitution, which declares the
inviolability of conscience, speech and press, sub
ject, of course, to punishment by the law, for abuse
of those great and vital civil rights. But the mob
cannot wait for the law, cannot wait for jury trials
—it constitutes itself at once law-maker, judge
jury aud executioner. And'so to certain de
struction the people go, given over to greedy self
immolation. Because the press—a very small
portion of it—dare speak of peace, tluit worst of
tyrants, (because most remorseless and most cra
ven,) the public, not satisfied with abuse and at
tempts to over awe aud to ostracise iu
must needs proceed to the last argument* of a
coward, an armed attack in superior numbers
upon the property of those they hate, but caunot
couvii.ee by argument or frighten by threats.-
Alas, alis, that a people should be bo utterly given
over. Os course not all in Yankee land, or born
there, are possessed of this wild, t un-mad diabol
ism. But it is true, too true, ot the Yankee na
tion, taken sea whole. They are, as a class, to
which there are exceptions, a meddling, interfer
ing, intolerant, conceited race. And tbeir faults
and fruilties are not by any means confined to
New England or the North ; but wherever on the
wide earth yon find self-righteousness, byprocri
sy, cant, bigotry, cruelty und cowardice combined,
you have found the very tesence of Puritanism, or
Yankeeism, no matter where the man was born.
Barbee’s “Coquette.”- We learn from the
Riedmond Dispatch, that this splendid work of
art, the production of a n&tive Virginian, was to
be offered for saie at public vendue, in Richmond,
on the 10th. Lovers of the tine arts, even in
these stringent times, will desire to possess them
selves of so fine a production. The “ Fisher
Girl,” by the same artist, was pronounced an ex
quisite piece of statuary. Even Northern Art
Critics are magnanmioua enough to concede the
gift of genius to Barber. We have other South
ern artists, too, of whom the world should know
more. The lesson in sell-reliance we aro now
studying will perhaps, in good time, develop a
a better taste for art and a realization of the bene
fits springing from a cultivation of the love of it
among our people. The useful arts first, and then
the beautiful and ornamental.

ALL HAIL niSMtIRI!
, But recently the Governor of Missouri has de-
I dared that, a Free, Sovereign and Independent

doubt of our victory, the death of Lrox,
the flight of Seigel, and the total rent and

A Richmond correspondent of the Columbus
Times says: “By the way, I hear, in different

any Georgia regiments unless its officers, high
aud low, accept commissions from him, instead of
from the Presideut of the Confederacy. I have
not been able to get at. the bottom of these com
plaints, but they exist and are freely made, and

the schooner, which they thought bad run on a
shoal, but a sadden squall, coming up, compelled
them to return to their vessel, to better secure
their own safety. The Adeline, however, con

consist* of coffee, cigars, fruit Ac., aud is worth
between forty and fifty thousand dollars.
The Adeline brought a* passengers, J. A. G,

Nxwoabxlx, County, N. Y., August 11, 1860,
Dr. B. Brandreth- My Dear Sir: I am now seveuty-nlne
years old, and for the last tweLty-eight years have been a con
stant user of your Vegetable Universal PILLS when sick,
fully realizing the advantage of enforcing purgation with a
medicine, which, while harmless in its nature, remove* all im
purities. I can safely say that the vigorous old age I now en
ioy has been caused mainly by the use of Bramlreth’s Pills. I
have had in these last twent) -eight years several fits of sick
ness, and occasionally some infirmity of age would press upon
me. At these times I have always found your Pills asure
remedy, giving me not only health but strength. I consider
them, not only invaluable as a purgative, but also as a tonic. I
nave never during these last twenty-eight years used any other
medicine whatever, being convinced, by experience, that none
was as good. Brandreth’s Pills have also been free y used by
iny neighbors in every kind of sickness, and have been never
known to fail when promptly administered.
Yours, truly, Nathasid, Htatt,
Justice of the Peace for forty yeara in Westchester co., N, Y.
