Mitchell, E*n., and others : Gentlemen /—You. ; of the 2-3d inst., is before J me. in which you nay : “We specially request the privilege of presenting your name, to .the peo ple ot Georg.a, as a candidate for Governor, al 1 the n»*xt ‘ lection. ’’ For such an exr-ression of ! coiilid nee ai. , xiv,.. . i o.ik * that, tender to you, and to others who have manifested a like feeling, *\v grateful acknowledgements, auO ! beg yon, auo each o' you, to be assured, that j whatever may be the fortunes of the ib»ue iuvolv- j ed, that I ghall ever entertain grateful reinem- j brances of the voluntary tender of distinguished j honors tram my fVUow-citizeos aDd neighbors. I am called, unexpectedly, to settle a v*?ry grave ' question 'i he partiality of a few friends bad | brought to the cousioeration of the country, my name, in connection with *he Gubernatorial chair; . but to one who had been ho long in private life, ! and so little a politician*, as to have hud no iden- j tily with either of the great parties of the State, for many years, there seemed to be littie proba i bilitv of a call ot tins sort. The communication:* j through the public journals, or those more private j iy made, bad only excited an emotion ofgratitude ] j *o such friends, lor kind remembrances, in such j | honorable connectiop. Your communication, j joined with he evidences flow ing in many I j quarters, assures rm* that the purpose, is one tuk ! ‘ mg hold of t. * public miud, and tliat I must give i this question a Htrou- consideration. Under I these circumstance., lain asked by you, gentle- I men, in sober earnestness, if I w ill serve my coun try, by becoming the Governor of my native .State. It you had asked me it I would volunteer to light her battles, I should have felt that the question wovld have implied a mortifying doubt, for, I hold all that I have and am, is pledged to my country —that there is no demaud, in the present emer gency, which she can make, that i would not honor. B :t when you ask me to be your Governor, I I would not be the man which I profess to be, if i j did not hesitate, and tear to accept a trust so ! large —so responsible—involving so much of care, and labor, and thought, in keeping the machinery : of this great “ Empire State of the South ” all in | order, and to drfenu and promote the interest and the happiness of so great a multitude of people. | lo view of these responsibilities, if left to my own feelihgs and preferences, I am unaffectedly sin- 1 "ere when 1 say, that I should have remained iu i private life. But, gentlemen, you have rightly ! judged, when you say, “In times like tRe present, ! no patriot desires to live unto himself alone, but j mupt. feel that he is the property of histcounl; v, ! and should go to that post of uuty to which bis 1 cooritrymen may call him. We know you too well to suppose that you will desire to hold your self an exception to this law of duty and of pa triotism. 0 Conceding the correctness of this principle, I commit to God and my countrymen the settlement of this question. Ido not seek the Hppomtment; if conferred, I could not decline it. My name and mv services art at. your disposal. Very respectfully, your ob’t s rv’t., James M. Chambers. Russell’s Second Letter on tiie Manassas Bat tle. —Russell’s sesond letter to the Londou Tunes on the Battle of Manassas, is published in the j Northern papers. It is made up merely of his .own speculations o f the probaole result of the | battle on both parties, and a kind of review of | the operations of both armies at Manassas as he | gathered them from Northern reporters. Such a pretended report as this we have not thought worth encumbering our columns w ith, as no facts ca.u be gleaned from it, and no intelligent opinion even found that has not be* a better stated in oth er quarters and u not far more reliable.

Capt* Hatteras is the elbow’ of a triangular isl and, forming the seaward limit of Pitqlico Sound. The whole series of islands which girdle the coast of North Carolina are desolate and barren. To the northward, between the main island aod Nar row Beach I-laud, stretching down from Cape Henry, lies Currituck Sound, fifty miles loug, and two to ten miles broad. West of tiii.-, running inland, in Aibermarle Sound, sixty miles long, and from five to Jhteen miles broad; its waters are fresh and not. suuject to tidal influences. These Uvo souuus communicate with PimiiCo Sound, which lies south of Currituck; it is eighty six miles long, aud from ten to twenty broad, nih a general depth ol twenty feet. But nut igatio.i is much impeded by shoals within it. It opens to the ocean through Ooracoke Inlet, wi n-' is considered the best navigable pass north of Cupe Lookout. entire shore of these sounds is indented b\ rivers end branches, which are navigable for vc& sels of light draught. The Chowan and Roanoke Rivers i uipty into Aibermarle jsound ; the former, which is made by the union of the Nottoway and Meb* rrin, admits small vessels to Murfreesboro*, iu Hartford county, aud the latter is navigable, for similar craft, for thirty miles only. Elizabeth City, on the Pasquotank River, is ..Iso a place of importance. The far and Nenst Rivers empty iutu Pimlico Sound. Washington is the principal port on the former, and Newborn on the latter. From Ihe last named port a l:o*gc trade iu grain was transacted with Charleston. Besides, there was a very large foreign and coast, wise trade .in naval stoics, lumber and grain lumi the ports ol Beau hi, den lon, Elizabeth Citv, Washington aud Plymouth.

Iu Florj. 1 Mr. F. F. I'lorv, a citizen of Beaufort, well | i known to many readers lor his efforts m Grape oulture in this Slate, has lately returned, after some experience of the features and blessing* of the Lincoln Government. It was reported some time since that M’\ Flory was arrested in New York, charged w partioip'iting in the attack on Fort Sumter, r-1 i other off* ncos which were unpai donuble m < ■ j eyes of tho great potenate Kennedy, who ad mini.Lt. rs the the* government now sulTjred by | Now Yorkers. Thu facts of tho case briefly are ; as follows: ; Mr Flory was a member of the Beaufort Volun j tear Artili oy, but left for bis native laud, France, j ou special business on the 23d February, 1881, on ! the ship Emma, from this port for Havre. I Returning, he left Havre on ihe 21st May, in j the ship Kentuckian, foi Mew York. | Some ot his fellow-passengers, as natural on a voyage, became familiar and songht acquaintance. Mr Flory, being a gentlerouu and ot a candid, honest mind, did noKsuspect that he was associa ting with spies or Yaukees, and accoidingly an swered all question* with per feet frankness ; aud, with other information, ?:;ld Ids companions, no doubt, * hat be bad served in *i volunteer corps in South Carolina. This was enough, and, as soon as the vessel touched the dock at New York, on the 2<>th Juue, iutormatiou which induced bis arrest was given by some of these contemptible sneaks who laid sought h.s confidence, aud enjoy ed such favors as it was in his power' to perform on sh’pbourd. He was arrested and taken to the Metropolitan police station. If he had ouly been arrested iur | murder or arson, a little money well applied would have secured 1 .s release, cither with or without a trial as preferred, but New York jus tice does not look with shah complacent wink on any one charged with secession. He was detain ed without any pretext ot warrant or legal pro ceeding--, bis trunks were *e;.retied and after some time returned to him deprived of every thing of value. The petty spile cf the Metropolitan police was indulged especially against the fhumetto but tons, .Mr. Fiory’s uniform coat, which be had taken abroad for the gratification of his friends in France. These buttons were valiantly cut off, and will no doubt be retained as mementos by the policemen, unless some appeal in monev should prevail. One of the trunks contained a rifle and brace of pistols, intended as preset;u for friends and as specimens of French art in this iiae. These of course, were appropriated by the honest police men. Alter repeated efforts to induce him to take the oatli, arid to eolist for the United Stales, he was permitted to depart on paying the usual com plement to the itching palms of ihe police, aud ! od leaving a dagnerrotype of himself. He reach- I ed this city on .Saturday, delighted to rtucn*a! country where tue person of the citizen or re. i j deut is protected against police operations of 1 * New York order, where spies and sneaks are in" in the majority, and where tho habeas corpus is in spected. Mr Flory informs us that while in confinement he made acquaintance with a young Southern gentleman, by name Ruggles, and lately in the Uuited States. Navy, who is a native *f Virgin a, where bis relatives now reside. Mr. Ruggles was detained without known charge or cause, and re quested this report to be published, in order to react! his friends. Mr. Fiory’s recollection is not distinct as to tbo Dame, bur we give what he- be lieves to be the case.

We presume it was miserably pro- ■ vided ; and yet i? might have expected an attack, I uml ought to have been prepared for it. Aa priva teer? had been in tho habit of taking prizes in at Hutterus and vessels running the blockade there, it might very naturally be supposed that Lincoln’s forces would make an attempt to stop the business, and the taking of the fort was a very important move on their part to this dud. The North has got so few advantages in this light, so little to hU'iv about, this capture by Bit i.i:r v ill serve them very well for that purpose, a id will be us».d to revive their drooping couiage. B yoi. thut, anti enabling them to cheek our privateering operations and to make the blockade more effective, we don’t see that it will answer any purpose. It certainly will not draw a single one of our soldiers from Virginia, though it has drawn 4,000 of Lincoln’s from Fortress Monroe, a number could well spare, but which Lincoln will soon feel perhaps had much better be en taken to Washington. What Butler will attempt now we can scarcely conjecture. That he will march his force inlaud seems scarcely probable, though there has re cently b. a a talk among the Lincoln war jour nals of reducing Norfolk. But llutllr’s 4,000 at Hatteras inlet will be able to do very little, we should think, towards an attaca on Norfolk from the South. They could scarcely reach it, but they might threaten, and thus prevent any of our forces leaving Norfolk for the Potomac, if any such design has been entertained. Perhaps Geu. Butler will repose on his Hatteras laurels; but he is a quick-moving fellow, drunk or sober, and he may attempt something further South—per hu, salute Fort Pulaski, or pay his respects to Brunswick. The taking ot Pulaski would cer tainly' be an advantage to the Liucolnites, but perhaps the advantage may be outweighed by the risk of fe< Iv.ujf Gen. Lawton’s shot raid shell. It i is difficult so imagine wlmt could be accomplished ; at Brunswick beyond a sort of Jon.v Brown , thieving raid on *' cattle and chickens Butler will doubtless r<\>: awhile at least, at lliß i teras, which he has attacked judiciously as our weakest point, and if he tniuks of coming South, will perhaps dt.'uy until he sees if the Carolinians , are mdined 'o sau Ue bun out. In such an event, he would i . eil b's ships, it not his men. So we [ may got expect him in Georgia within a week or ‘ ten days pn-h.-cbiy, ;.nd when he does come, if j ever, we hope the Georgia boys will be ready to j receive him. In toe meantime, all the Slate forces ! may well concern rate on jthe coast, and let us have at any rate something like an equal contest as to numbers. We think it very probable, though, that Benjamin will not come to Georgia this time, but postpone his visit till a more convenient sea son. We wonder, too, if tho little fellow hasn’t bunted since taking Hatteras? Kem( tuber ilto Soltiaor. That there is, and has been, a frightful amount of sickness and suffering among the soldiers in Virginia there can be no doubt. Among such a vast number of men; so little accustomed to camp life, this was to have been expected. That it has been greater and more violent than it ought to have been is doubtless true. Tho Government has probubly exerted .ts fullest capacity to help the sick and wounded, and will continue to do so, but it has not sufficient and tho right sort ol means at hand. Consequently the appeal of the poor soldier comes directly to tho people. And the people have not been slow to hear and an svver. They have done well - they will do better still, when they more fully know the wants of the soldier, aud more perfectly understand the whole matter. Each State is beginning now to move for the relief of its own sick and wounded. Georgia bus j made a noble beginning, and will nut weary in • wet 1-doing. It is futile to say let the Government j provide. It does provide as best it can ; but it must be recollected that our soldiers are no com- j .<m oi t. They arc not hireling soldiers, they j are not mere machines that Governments and Generals and Surgeons cau treat after the man ner of-other soldiers. They are, many of them, our best people ; they/ire figh'ing from prihciple and a high sense cf duty, and lighting for the liberty of us all, not even for mere glory, still leas for pay. And they deserve, aud should re r. *'.ve, and will receive, every thing that our peo ple can do for their comfort, n i a preventive, and for their relief when sick and wounded. There is nothing we have got that is too good for the soldie r who has gone to fight our battles —nothing that wvhould not cheerfully give him to pre- j ycwo his health, to make his lot us tolerable as | po- h'< > in camp, and to relieve him when dis ch or wounds have become his portion. Georgia alone may expert always to have a thousand or more of her soldiers on the sick list., w'r He the war lasts. And to provide for these, in addition to what Government does, an organized, systematic movement has been started in ' the State, having its chief direction in this city.— The Georgia Soldiers Relief aud Hospital Asso ciutum bun already sent to Virginia Surgeons, m dicines, clothing, food, wine, Ac., in large amount, for her soldiers, and the good work has only just begun. Every day contributions in money and proper Hospital stores are being re ceived and sent forward, and the business con ducted in such manner as to insure tho most, and the most immediate, relief. Aud let us bear in min'd that not only tho sick and wounded require our aid, but those who are w 11. This is just the season for bilious fever, typhoid fever, and such diseases. • The weather has recently been very wet. in Virginia, and it is even now gelling quite cool, especially in the mountain:;. And right void tho soldiers need good bltfuket. and flannel shirts almost as much as th y o or will. Woolen shirts, nextto the skin, and small ration of whitby each day, are the beui. preventives of ii ftluiious lover, in our opin ion, whatever the medical men may p ay. Iu an army, of course, it is Absolutely important to pre vent oxcutsivo drinking, and drunkenness, iu of ficers or tin q should bo severely 1 uhished. But vve think the sMdiors ought to have a gill of pure cheap whisky / . borne do not drink, and while it might Im !. liursh to give them whisky as a preventive £ edic : 0 against their will, they might be giv. mdio y instead, so as to prevent iLt iv -'vl'i-g fiicw inky ration to their comrades. Ii typho J lever we would rather trust td pure cpints*as preventive and as u cure, than all the medicines in the shops. It has be ell urged that as biaukots are very scarce, if incit ed it be possible to buy them at all, the people should give their own to the soldiers. We agree to thin heartily, and when families can not afford to givs them, lot them sell their blank ets. Every family can readily furnish from one to half a dozen, and use comforts, or something of that sort for themselves. Blankets are the only covering that will answer for the soldier in camp, and these ought to bo lined with oil-cloth if pos fcible. Comforts, sheets, .coverlets and suchlike, should be contributed for hospital purposes, but the blankets alone for the soldiers in service. Re member the soldier, and provide liberally and fully for dll the wants of those who are fighting for us who stay at home. ICctreiichuiciit.

At in. A e bad thought, not, to say anything more, ut * duct just yet, about the proposed Milled*^©-! ville uonaiualing Convention. But our excellent! friend of the Savannah Hepubhca» t vt:. $e opitt- j ioud wo alwa\s respect, and whose got-d opinion | of us we highly value, has taaclcd us about our position, anu courtesy, if nothing else, st ems to require a reply. We wish to be distinctly under stood in this matter, and shall use our utmost exertion to make our position plain to all. Aud in the first place then, we are opposed to Conventions for the purpose of nominating can d:dates for any office, on principle. We have cast off’ an old Government and established anew, and ;ve sincerely desire to get rid of all the evils ot the oul. Mo want to secure for ouruelves and ourchildren and for our neighbors, un i for the wuolc people, all the good that is possible, and to ! avert all the harm we cun. For whatev*; i Uov- I eminent may be in theory, whatever m :v b - its j form, its good or evil to the muss j : . m- ; vd h its pract Wei ! forms and theories—the actu i- • - ;Ah | concern is the main point. F\, • ; ; taught us all that we need i. ; .> , , . ■ . n j the theory but iu the practice o».:i ,-j. n i ~o in i Goyerument. And we believe the cab . ludyn.eLt of every honest heart this day B, that *: ~,4-4 evils Which ever afflicted tho old tui , u ..l the j greatest which shall afflict us, grew, aud will [ grow, Trom the fierce rancor, the intolerance, the irrational bitterness, the headlong fatuity, of party . We are asked then, perhaps, do we piopose to | abolish parties? Certainly not, for the simple j reason that we know we are powerless to accoin- j pl.sh that. Parties will exist, and gr.-atly we I deplore them, wo cannot prevent; and so, hav ing nothing at heart but tho greatest good »>t our beloved country, wo aro and. .unto 1! • \ ri M idling, and which holds out some »ivsp*. ii I ac complishmeut—that is, to mitiy-.it,' 1 \ nd.to this end wo propose to battle for a » .', ..i cU is designed to l-rtak the lines, and e?u i. .i;; iy, at leas*, to let the captives go free. We si' 1 overt all our power, not for our own benefit, but for the good of all—which doubtles sounds very strange ly to the politicians—und fhull continue the ex ertion, until it becomes manifestly n hop.less un dertaking, to destroy forever all tho machinery, tho ap(liances, the means, (caucuses. Conven tions, wire-pulling, log-rolling, Ac.,) by which the absolute fealty of the mass has been cow-', aud by which the passions of the people, aud the ig noranco of the people, have been played upon, and thus used, by the mere office seekers. We hope friend now understands, and appreciate<, our position as a matter of princip . Those who merely seek to -use the people for their own pur poses, who pander to their whims, arouse their passions, play upon their iguorance, ho roue/li ly despise them all the time, may laugh at the idea of our innocence ; but we dou’t put our the Republican iu that class. ■ Now, as to this particular Convention, which it is hoped may produce harmony, unless Governor Brown persists in his candidacy, wo want our position not misunderstood. We want harmony, we are not advocates of Gov. Brown, and we have no candidate o our own. Our friend says that to produce harmony, where tln-rc is no pariy and no need of any, where there are no issues, and where several persons have been named ior the office, a Convention of the people slnrnld select the man, ' aud thut it is tho only course. We regret that : our friend is not so constant a reader of the ; Chronicle <£ Sentinel as his remarks would seem j to indicate—otherwise he might have discovered that another mode of seouriug this harmony, it ! not “Hitherto known or practiced,” has been “thought of,” and suggested iu our . columns. ' Perhaps our inode—for half a dozen of the lead ing papers t*o suggest a proper candidate— maj be objectionable, for the reason that they could not agree upon a candidate, although, as our friend says, “the people care very little who is nominated, so that he be a good aud true man, I qualified to administer the affairs of Government.’’ j If six newspapers, honestly desiring nothing but j the best interest of Georgi i, can not agree, h< w l are the delegates from twenty or this , uouutn-a ! to agree, without “intriguing,’' “‘logroll- ir.g,” > We must confess that we are quite a novice in these matters of Conventions, Caucuses, &c., and as for wife*pulling and log-rolling, we kuov. no thing about such things, except by iuNu.-.ay. But i with our extreme youth and inexperience, we j never knew a no-p&rly Convention that was not designed, and carried through, for the benefit of a certain party. Perhaps we are over-cautious, but we don’t intend to ,be gammoned if we can help it, nor allow our friends to be. And there fore, besides tho general objection to Conven tions, we have cautioned our friends ag dust this one as a possible trap for gudgeons, and advised them to maintain an “armed neutrality.” It does i not follow, by any means, that wv shall oppose the | nominee of the proposed Convention, if one be | held. On the contrary, we hone that we may be | able to support him cordially and cheerfully. If he be a good man, and a capable man, noi put forward by intrigue amt lobbying, but .m a sug gestion to the people, by a portion of themselves in general consultation, we could support him in preference to Gov. Brown, notwithstanding oni determination to oppose party Conventions ou principle. Because, Gov. Brown jg not opposed to Con ventions on principle, but ouly in tnis particular case, and ho is a third tepm man, which we object to ; so he could not, for these and other reasons, expect our support, except his election we r e Bps an evil, in our judgment, than the election of the other. l Ve aim too, to be practical, and with all our opposition to cnucus nomination if the Mil ledgeville nominee should be a props man, wo might not be able to defeat hiu w.th nn anti- Convention, anti-three term man, and in irra tional opposition to him and Gov Blown, we might fail to beat both, and thus, in spite of all our labor, have either a Conventionist or Gov. Brown. And we might well for yo ;; doubtful effort against the Convention system in this case, because the party organizing under it now will likely bn a mere waif, not heard of again after the i election. And so it may Itiru out to be wise and right to reserve our fire against Conventions, 1 until parlies are more permanently organized. I Tirno will soon tell. We are free and neutral, and | await the action of the Convention with our usual j equanimity. We shall choose our course, after j the nomination, not in a partisan or factious | spirit, but with a view to the greatest good and the least evil, looking not only to the prerent but | to the far future. New Rifled Cannon. j Mr. Thomas Sumner, an employe in the Georgia j Railroad Machine Shop, iu this city, bos invented I and completed u rilled cannon, which we were ■ kindly permitted to inspect this morning. To ' givo anything like a detailed description of this 1 gun, ;s beyond our power, but a brief sketch ol its main peculiarities may be of interest. The cannon is made out of a crank axle of the j first engine ever used on the Georgia Road, and j is therefore of the best wrought iron, as well ns | the carriage, Ac. It has a vibrating breech with two chambers, and the loading is “sent homo” in each compartment by means of lever?., and t lever also for mowng the breech. Either fuse, cap, or any other practicable method oi firing the piece can be adopted. The loading and firing can i be done with the greatest Vapidity—a fact which , must make the invention of undoubted efficiency | on the battle-field. A screw adjusts the sight to a ! nicety, so that oue can “ draw a bead” on a dis ! taut, object and be pretty sum of mi iking it. | The ball is conical in shape, of cast iron, and weighs about five pounds. Near the small end is Ia circle of lead which projects from tLo surface, ; and this is used so that the iron will ndt come iu j actual contact with the sides of the itiUrior, toils ! injury. Mr. Humkek also uses the same principle iu al ; tering muskets or rifles, and be has now a musket ! altered from an old piece, which 110 intends to ex { hioit, with the cannon, at the Guninuiiera’ Con vention in Atlanta tO'inorro.v. He say-, gun • ai tcred by his method can be mad- t qua! to three ordinary pieces. We arc cd op: j< n the inven tion, roost important as it is at this time, will produce a sensation,and will ensure the fortune of ; the worthy inventor, who i« an industrious, hard | wording man, and deserving of success. Ha has 4 filed h caveat and will secure u pat. nt for i: iu vect.ion.

A;, tho same time, with per | feet candor, and without a particle ot prejudice to waip our judgment, wo entertain well-grounded doubts whether ho could, so readily and so thor oughly as some cither gentleman, concentrate in his support all tjie non-partisan people of Geor gia—that is to sjay, u!t thoso who have uo malice to gratify, no »>|d prejudices to nurse, uo private ends to gain, uotbiug but the greatest, good of the State and a.! its citizens to subserve. It lift to our own choice, wc should undoubted |ly prefer a capable and honest man, with whom 'we have most nearly agreed in all political mat ters, since his and our political existence. This is but uatural. But we cau not hope for this; aud 'consequently, we prefer tog u.o our support to some oue not so absolutely ti opposite of us on all past questions, and who also stuuds some chance of an election. It were unwise to throw away labor, which promised no return either pre sent of future. 1’ is a duty, however, to support thi right under all circumstances, aud to battle for men and principles that promise no immediate triumph, when cither such course promises ulti mate success, or when circumstances make that the oul}’ course left without a compromise of self respect, independence or consistency. There are uo principles involved iu the coming election— that now .occur to our mind—of great importance, except to secure the bed man for office, to free tho people as much as possible from all exciting in fluences and unjustifiable interferences, and to put under ban that extravagant lust of power which seeks to authority in the same hands, regardless of all consequences. The pre sent condition of affairs makes it very difficult to secure all these in the present election. Aud so wo remain independent and untrammelled...

Joiinuon’a letter, which we pub | lish, places him ou tho same grouud. it is a a iso ! and just oue. RSe Prepared. Tho Chrome'- and; Sentinel, we believe, was among the first papers iu Georgia, after the war, which we all hoped might bo avoided, bud actually 7 begun, to urge the imp 'aiice, the necessity iu deed, that every oue capable of doing military duty should set about preparing to make himself as efficient a soldier as possible. Frequently since we have urged the same idea, uot that it was pro bable wc should be ail needed, but that such a thing was possibl : uml upon the ground that we ought to make ©very reasonable exertion for de fence, aud that to bo thoroughly prepared for all emergencies was the ■•[fisl plan. Wheu the mo ment for actual conflict should arrive, it would then bo too late to prepare, and nothing would re main but to fight the be.-i we could under such, and isad van lagoons circumstane<*s. It wan well Known that for long years there had bean little or no military enthusiasm among Georgians. Mustering bud gone out ot fashion, the mditia « elem Wf3 obsolete, and almost th. ouly military feeling among us was confined to* tho few crack volunteer companies of tho towns and villugcn. After the fall of Sumter and the uprising of the vindictive war spirit of the North, our people, not only in Georgia but tho Got federacy, arounsed themselves to the great duty before them the duty of protecting their homes, llioir property, their families, threatened by despotic fanatics with subjugation, and ot sm enring, by arms, the only resource left ug, fuff, final, eternal separation from, and independence of, those with whom we could uo longer associate without dishonor and min. Georgia has done nobly in furnishing volunteers to fight tho battles of the Confederacy. Already between twenty and thirty thousand of her bravo sous have offerc and thernsr.lve.i as n sucriflce, if need be, and hr//« • gone to endure the hardships and dangers of this camp and the field, lo encounter disease and pe lence and wounds and death. While vv» have I’.us met fully every requin ment of the State and Confederate Government, there aro y**t at iuu-l fifty thousand arma-bearing men in Georgia, w’. ought to bo put in a eoudi ! tion of efficiency for tho defence of our own | State, which in a few weeks may bo invaded. U> | ar.! glad, therefore, to see that Gov. Brown bus determined to have the militia laws thoroughly enforced, and t" have all the mi lit a called out at regular intervals for parade and drill. This is eminently right and proper, and wo trust all militia officers and ail tho people w 1 act promptly and heartily in this matter, and that wo shall no longer have militia musters turned into a farce. It is not certain that, Lincoln’s myrmidons will attempt to invade this State durin tho early fall. It is probablb that the army of Virginia aud the ar my of Missouri willgive to all thebireliogs Lincoln can bring into the field just as muoh aa they can hi ♦end to, wiihout any to spore for attacking Georgia and Carolina. But the bare possibility that the- - treacherous foes may attempt a landing on our e Hrt when the frost conies, should teach us all to prepare for whatever may be in storo for ua.— Every in.in uml hoy subject to do military duty ough to drill, and become accustomod to tho use of .“l ay , and to acting in concert A mere mob of men, hastily gathering up arms, without being used to act together, to act tubject to ord<r t and to obey implicitly their officers, make a very ineffi cient army--are a very poor mean* of offence or defence. If invaded, it may be «aid we shall not have sufficient arms. But the Governor has made, and is making, arrangements to gather up the com mon arms of the country, and the old State mus kets, and to have them altered toas to carry* Minnie balks, and there can bo little doubt that by frost we shall have 20,000 or SO,OOO effective weapons. That number of gunti will he sufficient t > arm nil the mon w ? e shall probably need to de fend our coast, in addition to the volunteers now on the coast. But if we only need, and can oolv arm, 10,000 men, that is no reason why all should* not be getting ready for tho work, nor why any Uaould attempt to shirk so important a duty. Let t ic militia mu6ter full ranks, and let the officeraf devote all their euergks to make them speedily" efficient.
