COL4UITT & WAR REM, Proprietors. Volume XVI. cotvatßca.TvnßAT.Areisr 20. m\. MANASSAS COKMSPONDENCS. Camp Walker, Manassas, Aug. 11. &rur 7\t*e* : I havo boon moving about bo eoiistautlv since my last, that T have not had an opportunity of writing to you. I might, per haps, give you a better reason fir my silence, that is the total absence of auything like news. This is the locality to whi:h the public uiin<l is attracted for great movements, but the last place to find out what they are or aro to be is—Ma nassas- an impenetrable mystery conceals every thing. Beauregard knows what Beauregard in tends to do, and Johnson is apprised of John son's thoughts, but I doubt very much if the outside of the brain of either has themo.-t in definte idea of the internal cogitations of either of articles of mental mechanism.- - We have men by the acre and camps by the quarter section, hut what camps or men, nobody knows. Your best friend may be encamped with in six hundred yards, and you may enquire for the denizens thereof, in a half day’s ride and not find anybody who can give you the least in formation. The form divine, in these parts be comes reduced to a mere piece of mechanism, of which Beauregard and Johnson hold the. key, and when the\ set it in motion it moves by ones i*r one hundreds or thousands iu the precise sphere to which they may allot them without the slightest idea of what that sphere is or why it is to be occupied, in short, the man that comes to Mana-vaa to find out whnt is going on, discov ers two things : oue that he can learn nothing, and the other, that it is very hard to get here, and perfectly impossible to get away. By dint of labor and enquiry, I have found out a few of our friends. I learned, for instance, that Capt. W N Nelson, formerly of Columbus, but now of the 2d Virginia regiment, who was shot at the buttle of Maua.-*aa -the ball passing through liis left breast.iust above the region of the heart, is nearly well of his wound and will soon be able, in another battle to give to his cavalry the bene fit of hi* gallant presence. I saw Capt John A. Jones and Capt. Strother, both in lina health, accustomed to the routine of a soldier’s life and perfectly ready to try the first field on which honors may be won and services rendered.— Sergeant Mims was elected to a 2d Lieutenancy, which he well deserved for his faithful attentiou to the arduous duties of Orderly. I saw in Richmond, Col. Setmne.-’ regiment, it went through battalion drill in presence of the Presi dent, who expressed much .satisfaction at the perfection of their drill, and as a Georgian, 1 was gratified with their soldierly appearance and deportment. Georgians, however, find causes of pride and self-gratulation in overy department of the public service, whether civil or military, for Georgians do most certainly occupy a front place in the great historical picture that is now receiv ing the hold touches of a revolution’s startling events. Here, at Manassas, where every State is represented By its citizen soldiery, a practiced eye, however impartial, must rest on the Ist regi ment of Georgia Regulars, and give to them the praise of being one of the best drilled regiments in the service, if I were to speak alone from my own personal observation, which has been ex tensive, I would say the best drilled.)hut as there are others which I have not seen, I think I am safe in saying that there is no better dri.led regt giment in the service, and when the hour of tiial comes, if perfect discipline, complete harmo~ ny and a burning de#ireto do ordie for the causo and Georgian’s honor be sufficient incentive upon 1 what to predicate for this corps a bright page in the history of the revolution, then can 1 say in the truth that ail these elements are here, and I am more than mistaken if upon the first bloody field, they do not write for themselves a name which will redound to their own and their coun try’s honor. I wish Miss Howard could be here to soe tho beautiful regimental colors escorted to the front of the regiment, and see with what pride and love the officers and men regard It.— She would be more than compensated for the patriotic impulse that induced her te present it. ft will never go down to the dust while there is a man left to bear il to the breezo. God send that it may ever be tho semblence of victory ns it is now the ensignia of State right* and a Confeder ate Republic. Id a word, Georgia may be proud of the Ist regiment of Georgia Regulars. At the officers of (he regimen! are entitled to great credit for ita discipline and soldier like appear ance, and as they will be responsible for Its con duet on the field, I have thought that as the offi cers <>f all the other regiments in the State have been published, that I would take the trouble to obtain a correct list of those in Commission in this regiment. You will find it enclosed. (We will publiab the list to-morrow—Ed.) The health of the regiment is exceptionally good, and T attribute this to the well regulated practice which is so strictly enforced. The Ist Georgia Regulars, Col.. Williams; 2d Georgia Volunteers Col. Semmes; 16th Georgia Volunteer*, Col. The#. W. Thoma*: and a battalion under Lieut, Col W 1) Smith, will compose a part of Toombs’ Brigade. (Jones and Strother are in the latter,) so that when the battle come# off in which Toombs’ Brigade is engaged, scene* will be en acted in whioh Columbu.i will have a deep and abiding interest. YoOfs truly, REMUS. N'. B.—Derry Lamar is here, he in a sou of 0* B. I.juiar, nod a Cadet in Geu. Toombs’ .Staff.

Whittaker, and his Excellency, Joseph K j Brown on the subject of nominating Conventions for Governor and other offices. This correspon - deuce was, doubtless, a private concoction of the Governor, to enable him to offer himself a candi date for the third term of the Gubernatorial of fice, and he has very artfully used it, to demon strate ths /act, that he means to run for the office. “nolens vote**,” in spite of what the Convention may do in the premise*. He, in truth, reptidi ades Nominating Conventions ani distrusts the capacity of any net* ♦<* to fill the Executive chair, as well as he has done R ! This position of Gov. Brown is the more remarkable, as he is himself the creature of a Convention. Had it not been for a Convention, Joe Brown would never have been Governor, even a# a compro. mise between other aspirants How it shonld happen, then that be should now kick away the ladder by whioh he climed into power, is only explained on the, supposition that the usage of party or nominating eonven ventlon* i* adverse to his third term aapirations. Be this as it may, opposed as we are to Gov.

There in apparently a lull in active operations in the army, yet Richmond is full of rumors about projected Movements. We feel assured that Beauregard and Johnston are about to do something startling in Maryland; that Lee is not idle in Western Virginia, and that Magru der has frightened the Yankees on the peninsu la. The spynx-likesilence of the Government about future military movements is very proper, and no good Southerner will find fault with the policy. All we know is that a large quantity of scaling ladder- have l>een .went down to Magru derj ‘hit Beauregard has made a heavy requisition for wagons upon the counties near Manassas, and that every traiu from Richmond carries him numbers of these moveabUs, and that troops aro being constantly sent West to the White Sulphur and thereabouts, where Lee is organizing the army of Western These are floating tacts and we can draw from them any deductions that may suit our fancies. The impression is, however, that in the course of a couple of weeks the country will he convul sed with another euddeu movement, another great battle, and probably another great viotorv.

Treops continue to arrive from the South by every train. Kicbmondi and the suburbs is tilled with fresh regiments. They come silently. Not even the enterprising little Dirpateh itemizes their advent. They sojourn a few days aud then depart as silently os they came, lor some unmeutionably locality or localities. About every other regiment arriving here from the South seems to come from the little State of Louisiana. 1 believe the I'elieans have done better in proportion to their population, than any other Confederate State outside of Vir ginia. They are generally the handsomest uni iorrned of our regiments, aud there is a Fretich ly flavor pervading the whole of them. Two regiments, lately from New Orleans, are made up slmostly entirely of Frenchmen. Not mere ly the Americanized Gaul of thirty years’ stan ding or descent, but the genuine, unadulterated article from the banks of the Seine.

General Bob Wheat greatly distinguished himself as commander of a New Orleans artillery oorps at Manassas. Major O llara, of Cuban fame, has a commission in the army. Col.

An English filllbuster, one Major Atkins, a tall, big whiskered, loose trowsered, “haw haw” specimen of a Londoner, who was with Garibaldi in Sicily, and who is “just over,” fought gallantly by the side of Wheat at Manassas. Lori Lyons’ Sinjialrhm Rrliting to Maosss.* W e had a telegram a few days ago, through the Associated Prr .that Lord Lyon -‘dfepatoh os relating to the battlo of Manassas had been seized as “contrabiud,’’ aud that he bad deman ded his passports. The following extract from a letter received in St. Louis, published iu the Bul letin of that city, and regarded by that paper as entirely reliable, is an intelligible explanation of the telegram WasirrauTox, Aug. It. Among tho on Jit# circulated in this city L one of much importauco us showing tho wisdom of our Premier in his, conduct of foreigu negotiation*. It appears that the day of tho battlo of Ma nassas w:> that fixed for tho sailing of the Ca nard steamer. The news at first received was so much in favor ofthe Federal#, that certain prom inent Northern men raised SISOO to pay tho ex pense# of detaining the boat till Monday, and telegraphed the arrangement to this*city When the tide of battle turned, ami it became evident that tho “Forward to Richmond” meant “Back ■ to the Potomac,” an imperative message wn# sent by the authorities, here to send the steamer off immediately She sailed therefore without any new#. The British Con ul at New York immediately telegraphed this fact to Lord Lyons, who in turn dispatched to Halifax to detail the steamer nt thnipoiut until hi i dispatches should arrive there. When he had received correct information re garding tho battle, he took a dispatch to the tel graph offico and supposed it would be rent im mediately. Something occurring to arouse hi# uspieions, he, accompanied by hi# secretary, drove to the telegraph office, nud requested that his dispatches should be repeated from Halifax. Thin forced the operater to acknowledge that they had not been forwarded. “By whose order# are my dispatches suppressed 7 ” quoried the in diguaut Briton “By those of Secretary Sew ard,” was tho reply. The British representa tive drove immediately to-the State Department, and inquired of the Premier if such orders had been given. He replied in the affirmative. “My passport#!” wn# the stern demand of Knglaud Seward hesitated. A Cabinet consultation was hold. Tho dispatches were sent, and Lord Lyons reluctantly withdrew his demaud, but informed the astonished Cabinet that he should refer the mutter to his Government. Hcrlioct Ihr lloiior.

Butler by the Secrotary of War \Vahhinutx, July 8. IB6i. Genhrai The important question of the pro per ‘disposition to be made of fugitive# from ser vice in Htute# in insurrection against tbe Federal Government, to which you huve anain directed my attention in your letter of July 30th. has received my most attentive oonsiderution. It is the de#ire of tho President that all cx ixting right# in all the Slate# be fully, respected and maintained. The war now prosecuted on the part of the Federal Government is a war for the Union and for tho preservation of h>! the constitutional rights of State# and of the citi/.en* of tbe State* in the Union. Hence no question can arise as to fugitive# from service, within the States and Terr.tor.es in which the authority of the Inion hi fully acknowledged. The ordinary forms of judicial proceeding, which must be run posted by military authorities alike, will suffice for tbe enforcement of legal claim*. But in States wholly or partially under insurrectionary control, where tho law# of tho United States arc so far opposed and resisted that they cannot be effectually enforced, it is obvions that rights dependent on tbe execution of those laws must temporarily fail, and it is equally obvious that rights dependent on the laws of the Htatc® within which military operations are conducted, wind be necessarily subordinate to tho military ex igoncies created by the insurrection, if not wholly torfeited by the treasonable conduct of parties claiming them. To thin general rule, rights to service# can form no exception. The a-t of Congress approved August <ith, 1801, declares that if persons held to service shall be employed in hostility to the United the right to their services shall be for leited, and such person# shall be discharged therefrom, it follow# of necessity tout no claim can be recognized by the military author ities o! the Union to the services of such per sons when fugitives. Auiore difficult quettiou is presented in respect to person# escaping from tiie service of loyal masters. It is quite apparent that the laws ofthe State under which ouly the services of such fugi tives can be claimed, must needs be wholly,or almost wholly, suspended un to remedies by tbe insurrection and the military measure# ne cessitated by it; aud it i# equally apparent that tire substitution ofthe military for judicial measure#, for the enforcenionl of such claim#, must be attended by great mcouvenierices, em barrass luonts ond injuries. Under these circumstances it seem# quile elear that the substantial rights of loyal mau lers will be best protected by receiving such fugitives, a# well as fugitive* from disloyal masters, into the service ofthe United Stales, and employing them under such organization# and such occupations as circumstances may suggest or require. Os courses record should be kept, showing the name uud description of the fugitives, the name aud the charucler a# loyal or disloyal of the master, aud such facts a# may be necessary to a correct understanding of the circumstances of each case after tran quility shall have been restored. Upon the return of peace, Congress will, doubtless, properly provide lur all tue persons thus received into the service of the Union, and lor just compensation to loyal masters. In this way,only, it would seem, can the duty and safety of the Government and the just right# of all be fully reconciled and harmonized. You will, therefore, consider yourself instructed to govern your future action in respect to fugi tive# from service by the principle# heroin sta ted, and will report from time to tirns, and ut least twice in each month, your action in the premise# to this Department. You will, however, neither authorize nor permit any interference by the troops under your command with the servant# of peaceful citizen# in houseor field, nor will you, in any way encourage such servants to leave the law ful service of their master# ; nor will you, ex eepl-in cases where the public safety may seem to require it, prevent the voluntary return of any fugitive to the service from which he may have escaped. I am, Generul, Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, [Signed,| SIMON CAMERON. _ Sec’y of War Water on Santa Rosa.—An officer in Wil son’s Zouaves writes to the New York Herald that water “is plenty” on the Island.

BICIIMIIMI CORRESPOSRIXCB. Richmond, Aug. J 4. Congress met at the usual hour, Vice-I*re#i dent Stephen# in the Chair. The secret *o*. sione were immediately resumed. There i# some bustle to day about A ;tiia Creek. I cannot find out it# character or ex tent, but have been informed that the Mourn tug Yankee, coining 100 close upon tho t Jeorge Page, lying at Aquiii Creek, was yesterday sunk by that gallant little Southerner. All 1 caii learn to-day ia, that several vessel# of war have made their appeurauce in the vicinity ot the creek, and the rumor is they mny have re newed their hitherto unsuccessful attack# up on our batteries there with the expectation of being able to land their troop*. The 2d and 12th Georgia Regiment#, and one or two North Carolina Regiment# left at S o'clock this morn ing in the Fredericksburg car#. They had on ly a few hours notice, and yet they moved and marched as briskly as if they were ordered to Washington City. Four companies of Wig fali’s Texas Battalion also left in the aaine train, but for u different destination. The movement* on the left of our lines, es pecially those directed from Fairfax Court House, are viewed with a suspicion which be trays much alarm, by McClellan and Banks; they are stationing pickets all along the line from Harper* Ferry to the left ofthe Arlington fortifications, on the Maryland ride. These re ceive no notice from our advancing column*, who command the whole county from Centre vllle to the Potomac, and within a few miles of these fortifications. The most extraordinary efforts are now being made to guard against any Invasion of Maryland on the lower Potomac. All tha towns and villa ges along the river, and back in tbe country from Upper Malbro to Leonard town, the former 16 mile# from Washington, the latter near the mouth of the Potomac, are oooupied by Federal troops and pickets kept up along the whole linos. This will prove a fearful hardship to the loyal people in that region of oountry, as tbey*aro all loyal f and aiooe tha war commenced, have rendered Invaluable aid in furnishing means of transmit ting from shore to shore men and munitions of war. Whatever programme our Guard* have adopted will neither be interrupted by an attack on Acquia Creek, was changed by the Potomao pickets. Os this I have positive assurance Nearly the whole of Western Maryland is as loy al at tJouth Carolina, and she mast be be'ped, that she may be able to help us. Kly is ia tear# and terror since tbe outrage perpetrated by Seward in the arrest of Mr. Faulk ner our late Ministgr to France.

Before being released on parole, Nelson, the reformed traitor tookthooath of allegiance and proinisod to issue a circular to the people of East Tennesse# advising them to submit to tho deoided majority agftinst them.— I am not at liberty to say whore the two Georgia Regiments were sent this morning; but by this time, they aro the companions in arms of the Walker Legion or the 2d Tennessee Regiment under Col. Bate# BKFTUB. Governor Brown's letter. This l# the richest production of the age. It i put# all the Governor's messages and State pa- I per# in tho shaJe. Gov. Brown repudiate# a I Convention to nominate a candidate for Govern j or. He says that “under existing circumstan ce” there i# no necessity for such a Convention, lie denounces Conventions because they are gotten up by “cliques of village politicians, wire worker*, and oflico seekers, moerting together in small numbers without tho knowledge of the honest, laboring masses of the people” etc. All such Conventions are, in the present estimation of Gov. Brown, corrupt and dangerous instru ments in the hands of a few, to dictate to the many, and to destrory the public liberties—and yot, will it be believed that Gov. Bruwu owes all his distinction, hi# present elevated office and hi# comma luting position to just such a Conven tion, gotteu up in the very manner and orninat iug from tho very sourco which ho now 30 loud ly condemn# ? Who and where wa# Joseph E. Brown in 1M57? He was un obscure circuit Judge and scarcely known or hoaad of outside of his judicial circuit, lie wu# nominated by a convention of that year Governor of Georgia aud elected. In what respect did that convention differ from the one now proposed or any other, in the mode aud mauner of electing or choosing the delegates to it ? They wure appointed by primary meeting# in the sevoral counties, gen erally caliud through the newspapers or in some other public method. Whoatteuded them? It may be solely asserted ‘hat on an average not fifty inou iu each county selected tho delegates to that fatitou* convention at Milledgeville to which Gov. Brown owe# all his public position. Gov, Brown was the nominee of that convention and accepted the nomination. Where then was his virtuous indignation against the cliques of small fry “village politicians, wire workers and office Beekers” who g t up the convention ? and the convention in 1859 by which ho was again nominated. What was there to redeem that from Gov. Brown'# wholesale and retail charges of selfishness and corruption now exhibited by him against nil such bodies? How many men in each county met to elect the delegates ? notone in ten of the people or party whoso convention it was. And yet, Gov. Brown accepted the nomination of that body and was re-elected to a second term. He has availed himself of those corrupt and dangerous instrument* to ride into power aud give himself a name. But now, when he apprehend# or fears that a convention oi the people may not nominate him a third time, Conventions “stink in his nos trels,” and he can see nothing in them but cor ruption and ft th, and all uucleanness. They aro u “raw head and bloody bones” which will destroy the liberties of the people. “Obconai#- tency, thou art indeed a jewel.” Os all* men in Georgia, Joseph K. Brown is the very last one who ought to turn his back or spit upon oon venti ns. But lor those condemned and con temned assemblage#, He would probably never have ranked higher than a Circuit Judge, a cir cuit court lawyer or member of the Legislature. Gov. Brown labors hard to prove that conven tion# are objectionablo and ought to be discoun tenanced because'of tho alledged manner of se lecting tho do egates. The counties, according to his version, “are represented by delegates ap pointed by cliques of village politicians, wire workers and office seekers, meeting together in small number# without the knowledge of the honest, laboring masses of the people, for whom they assume to act, and in inauy cases appoint ing such delegate# us will undertake so to cast the vote of the county as te serve their political) views.” There is not a word of truth or sincerity in this wholesale charge. It is a wilful slander up on the people hik! rertuiuly an ungrateful denun- | oiation of those through whose favor be was brought into notioe. It may he safe to assert that no meeting bus ever been held to appoint Dele gate# to niiy Convention in Georgia, that was ■ not culled in a public manner and full notice giv on to the people. All are invited to attend and i alt have the Id or y and opportunity to attend j The 01./tci of lie .meting i# always stated, and if the majority of tho people of the County are opposed to the Convention, they can readily at tend and vote it down, ns wu# attempted at the late meeting held in Columbus. It* nay he, that in many instances only a few attend the meeting and appoint the Delegates. They feel more inter est in the subject, they h ive warmer xel in the cause, whilst others from indifference, businesx nr other motives stay away, willing to acquiesce in the proceedings. The writer ha# been present and seen many of these meetings, und iu every cute they represented truly the public sentiment of the party or people of the Couuty, aud were probably a# far from the imputations east by Gov. B ah any meeting ever held in any county. Aud certainly now, when there are no parties and no man in Georgia except dor. /frown is seeking the office of Governor It would lie strange if tile people cannot meet in printury assemblies and act without the controlling intrigues of “vil luge politician#, wire worker# aud office seeker#/ There never was a greater variety of opinion in regard to who shall be the next Governor of Georgia, than exist# at present. More than fifty name# huve already beeo suggested in tho pub lie Fre;- e. It is the only time for years that no political combinations or personal arrangement# can be brought to bear in County uioetinga in favor of aspiring leader# or selfish demagogues’ Patriotism aud the public harmony demand that the public voice should be concentrated and set tled upon someone of the great number presented and this can only be done through a Convention. But the inconsistency of Gov. Brown’s course is equalled only by his extraordinary egotism.— More than one half of this long letter of Gov. B. is taken up in praises of himself apd argu ments in favor of his own re election ! True tboy are put in the mouths of others; but who does not see through the thin veil? It presents the most striking, I bad almost said, disgusting in stance of ambition, vanity and egotism which has ever been exhibited by any publio man, and notwithstanding all tbegood aets of Gov. Brown, in my opinion the presumption and arrogance exhibited In this letter ought to be condemned aud rebuked by a general repudiation of Gov. Brown's extraordinary claim to an election for a third term. CIVIB. Communicated.
