The painful rumor* which *0 much excited our community lust evening, relative to the capture of Aquia Creek by the Hesaiana, were explained by intelligence received later in the evening. The enemy have, for the past few days, appeared in the waters of the creek in large nutnbcrN,’ but, having before tried the metal of otir belteriea at that point, were ahy of laud. One of these vessels, the Resolute, went dow'n to Matthias Point, and sent a boat with six men ashore. When they approached near enough our boys Mazed away at them, killing five nt the first fire. The steamer then shelled the beach, destroying the only house within the range of their guns.

This movement has been closely watched by Banka’ Hessian* on the Maryland shore of the river, and where ever an opportunity offered, they have crossed the ford and pillaged, plundered, or destroyed everything moveable and immoveable, that come in their .way. Anticipating a surprise from our cavalry scouta, they have generally gone over in bodies of from 000 to 1,000. The enemy is sending large reinforcements •long the Maryland side of the Potomac. This is believed to be a mere feint, us he cannot spare the 20,000 men that would he required to keep the lower Potomac counties in subjec tion. The attempt at MnUhiua Point was merely to ascertain the number and character of our battaries there. He left disappointed mvnut fiye men, for what is the use in displaying our masked batteries, when a Minnie musket will drive the enemy from the ahores. The house be destroyed has berm ioug since abandoned. The mortality among our soldiers is dimin ishing daily. The fit.

This has excluded all the quacks in pre sent!, and will continue to exclude them in future. The number of the Federal prisoners now in our temporary jails, is iuoreasing so rapidly by daily accessions, that when the 1,700 marauders from Leesburg come on, we know not where to confine them. Besides, they are eating up our provisions and diverting wholo companies for guards, whose prceenoe is required elsewhere. It Is suggested by the Charleston ladies, through the public press, that these prisoners be distribu ted throughout the Confederate States, and be subjected to precisely the seme treatment that our prisoners experience at the bends of the Northern tyrants. Handcuffs, manacles end chains where they set theexsmple. in addition, I would suggest that prisoners taken in fair bat tle, as at Manassas, should lie treated differently from muraudering and thieving parties such as lien. Evans at Lovittsviile. The lat ter should be at once placed in the chain gang. It is but Just that, in view of the treatment of our brave men, who are daily paraded through the streets of Philadelphia and New York, hand cuffed and chained, we should forbear our ten der solioitude for the comfort and subsistence of such of their prisoners as fall into our bands, Publie necessity is Inexorable, and its require ments must be met with firmness.

Mr. Hoteler, as soon as he could drees, presented him •elf at the door, and demanded to know by whose authority this outrage upon his person and fami ly was committed. This they declined to give, und ordered him tu iu mediately accompany them.

Whether, ih my ofdnion, it ivpnqor under ! exi-tmg eireuineune*-< tu held a Convention, as j proposed by -*m* of the public journals of this | State to nomina'e a candidate for Governor, and j to hold Oonvm’ion* in thedilT-rent Ongrepsion• j at JnetrU**. 2nd. Whether, if it should be the wish pf the iush- of the people of Georgia, without regard to old party difference?, 1 would, in this critical period nt onr history, consent t * svrre for a third term in the Executive office ? To your first inquiry, J reply that, under exist ing circumstances, there i.*, in my opinion, no necessity for a political BrateConvention orcau oui to notninatti a candidate for Governor, nor is there aoy ne>-e*ity for such Convention or cau cus in each Congressional District to nominate candidates for Congrcr*. Too political caucuses -.r Conventions, have been the instruments io the hands us political parties for uiaiulaiug their organization *ud con solidating their Ktrength in important elections, when a division of strength on two or mure can didates of the tame party would have eaused the I defeat of that party, enabling the party )u tha minority In the State or District, by a curuuHda-. lion of it* wbol*i strength, to succeed over the | majority “Ub its strength divided. In view us I the question and for this purpose, so long a.’ par ! ty organizations were proper, and while ourpao | pie were dirld.dupoa greut political questions, Convention* yf caucuses were necessary for the j preservation of party discipline and party puw ; *r. Bulb parties, especially the party in the a* j ceedoacjftu a particular locality, lound it nc ---i es*ry to adopt the practice to prevent dot cur. Fortunately for the country, we ham.-at length ; reached a perioJ wheu party differences hate j passed away With them, I trust the vitupera ! turn and bittern**.* to which th*y gave rise, will I soon find a common grave. Tbe people of the South, i- one man, are engaged in mighty con test, io valving not only theirlivas, their liberty, : aud their properly, but the dost my oi their pns- I tartly, ll w stand together, firmly and re*., I lately united, we are invincible; aud, with the i aid ot Divine provhDuce, we shall soon achieve , a grand, glorious, final victory over a revongefi.l j and relentieo* toe. Tbe King of Kings has giv { en to the united anus of our Confederacy, the most triumphant succesr. 11k has inspired oar j soldiera with courage, aud bus scattered before them the so eatled grand army of tbe Union, with | a great General at its head, as, of old, He scat i tered the terror-stricken host* of tbe Assyrian > before tbe small army ot Israel Let a-, then, I with devout gratitude for t his evidence ot Divine ! favor, press forward, with one heart n>! one j voice. Let Us avoid everything that may revive perty division* and strifes, and vie with each ! other only tu determine who ahull do moat in pro i portion to bis ability for fh*> ad of our 1 gloriou-. c>mm >n cause.

The sale day iu i September eouies, 1 believe, the day before the time propusad for the Convention. Delegate? appointed then iu tbu different counties iu the , i State could nut possibly reach the Convent ion. Sale day in is post, and, so far as l am j I informed, very lew ooti&tias appoint*.! delegate/. ; and in most ol those the meeting!* were composed - of a very small number of person-, jt it evi dent, therefore, that if the countm* generally are repre.euuid it will U by delegates .-ippointetl j by cliqttas f village politician:*, wire-worker* and office seekers, meeting together in small numbers, without the knowledge of the honest, j 1 laboring ui-wi ol the people, for whom they will usiutme Io act. and in many case.?, appoint ing only uch delegates as will undertake so to , oast tho vote of the county as to serve their poli- I Goal views. If two-thirds of the counties, are raprr-tntcd, aveu by delegate., appointed by tbe .-.mall meetings, I predict that quite n num ber will le reprttfented Uy proxies, or men liv , ing ia oilier counties who have only the request i <*f * fw persona to act, and who are n->t ac quainted with the wishes or proioroncf* of the people whom they undertake to represent. 1 have heard of but two or three counties in this part of tbe State that have appointed dele gates. iu each of the.<c, it is said that from twenty to fifty perioio* nut, without any previ ous notice, aud appointsd throe who are to rep resent iu each case from fifteen hundred to two thousand voters, without their knowledge or consent. A Couvontiou thus constituted, can not be said to be a Convention of the whole peo ple without regard to party differences. The pieoplo were at home attending to their business, while the politicians aud office suckers were at tbe Court House assuming to represent them, and to e.\erci<e at another place tho prerogative which the Convention gives the people ot select ing their own rulers at tbe ballot box. There are probably 114,660 voters who are citi zens of Georgia. tf this number, neatly 24,068 are now in the service of the Confederate States, leaving abput 66,666 still in the State. There are IS2 conutie* Suppose that two-third* (88) of these counties represented, and that In each of these fifty persons participated in the ap pointment of delegates. Fifty times eighty-eight will be 4,460, who will select the Governor for the ninety thousand. Would thi* be a Conven tion of the whole people ’ f venture to eay, and ask the peoplo *.f the different counties to uotice for them.olvea, that the meetings will not aver age fifty person?. In some of the cities and stronger counties it will bv much smaller. I think the 60,660 voters at the ballot box are much ffiore competent to make a judicious selec tion than the 1,400 who may assume tn act for them. It may l>e said, (hat the whole people of the county have a right to attend tho meeting, and if they do not, they must be bound by the ac tion of those attending. I deny this. There may be but ten men In the county who desire or favor convention. There may be fifteen hun dred who do not attend the meeting because they condemn it. Surely no one would contend that the ten have a right to bind the fifteen L un dred, because the ten go to the meeting and the fifteen hundred refuse to go. From the considerations above mentioned,and others which 1 might enumerate, did I not fear to weary your patience with a long letter lam of opinion that it is impolitic and nnwise to at tempt to hold either Gubernatorial or Congres sional Conventions, while our people remain uni ted and party spirit is drowned. Should such Conventions be held in the manner above de scribed, no one would he bound by their action, but the whole people would l*e left free at the ballot-box, in the rnanuer pointed ut by the Convention, to select their owu rulers, without any regard to the action of those self-constituted assemblies. Should the country agein be unfor tunately divide*! into political parties, they may find it necessary to revive these caucus nomina tions to socuro the success of tbe principles for which either mav contend, This is not now the case, and in the hope that it may never be, let u adopt the language, “Sufficient unto (be day is the evil thereof.” A word in reply to your second inquiry which is personal to mysalf. I have beeu repeatedly solicited by persons of both political parties, to consent to serve in my present position for another term. I have stated truly, that neither tny personal lutettst fiof in clinations prompted me to give my consent. In the days of your honored grand-lather, Jared Irwin, who served with *<> much ability us Gov ernor of Georgia, there wae oo such usages as that of a first or second term only, for he was called tu the Executive Chair the third time.— The political usage has sme# been for the Execu tive to retire at tbe end of the first or second term. 11 has, however, been but a usage, as there ia no Constitutional difficulty in the way of the same person holding the office for a third term, r have had no inclination to violate this usage. If I have mills no charade* in the office four years, I may not ai|>ect to do so in six. If I have made any reputation during that lime, I have, then, something to risk by holding the of fice for another term in the midst of a revolu tion. This aud other private considerations I have often urged upoii friends, who have demanded of me, that I again consent to the usn of my name. Thane objection* have been met with the reply, that I have been in tho office till I understand its duties; that the country is now m great financial trouble, which may cause u very heavy increase of taxation, and that un der ruy administration, the faithful officer* whom I have e!e*fled to manage the State road, are paying into the Plate Treasury from its n<‘t earnings, over tour bundled thousand dollar * per annum, which would have to be raised by increased taxes if not made by the road, and that a change ia to l*e feared lest it might not be for the better. It is also urged that 1 am now famiitar with the financial affairs of the State, •uid that in these dark days of revolution, wheu it is most important that no misstep be made, it might be risking too much to place anew man in tbe position, wholly unacquainted with the practical details of the office, and with the condition ot the military, financial sad other iffalrs of the State. Again, tl is urged that I, as a Sect- *.mist, had much to do with the withdrawal of Geor gia from the wicked aud oppressive abolition {.’owrnmeut ofthe 1 ‘mted iitutes, which brought upon us the present revolution ; and it is said that, na the State has entered into it undermy administration, I have no right to consult my personal tulerest# or inclination', and to retire >n the midst of lbs revolution, shifting its bur dens upon the shoulders of another, blit that I should remain at the helm und endure, with out complaint, all the responsibilities, toil.’ und hardships, to carry the old ship of State trium phantly through the storm It is also claimed that the example of oursister State ofTenne*- see is entitled to respect, the people of that gallant Stale unwilling to change a tried man for a naw one, having, within the last few days, re elected Goy. Harris for a third term by an overwhelming majority. It is also urged that the use of luy uame may tend to harmonize conflicting claims, and may ptevent a canvass that can only engender strife and contentions among our people, when unity and harmony are of vital iitqwJriuuce. Feeling that there may be some three id these and other considerationa urged upon my atten tion by men of all shades of past political opin ions, and that it is the duty of every citizen in a greet emergency like the present, to serve ihuiSistem any capacity in which tie may be moat useful, while I can neither enter into n canvass nor into any political combination for the office, I could ml retime to serve if the masses of the people, without regard to old party line*, wer*, by their united suffrages at the ballot box, to demand mv services for an other term. 1 I am, very respeeljltlTy.

Parties who arrived at New York from the South, have furnished the New York Commercial with the following dtscriptioa of a novel imple uirntof war intended to operate against the Mock* 1 adiug fleet • At Algiers a formidable instrument of destrur j lion u being prepared, and was expect and to be ; launched about the 20th. The tug boat Enoch Train, Imilt in Boston, and one of the most pow j erful tugs of her class, ba* beon converted to a i purpose never intended by her builder or the gentieuian whosp name she bears. The upper portion of the boat has been covered with rail road iron and perfectly shielded from the attack of an ordinary eann>>nade. At the bow a rum has bean constructed. The bow has been built out to the extent offive foot, heavily framed with timber, and then covered with heavy wrought metal. At the extreme end a formidable mats of iron projects in the form a knob. Beneath this knob and beneath the surface of the water two atong grapples have been arranged, so fashionsd that on ('(.Hiding with a ship the claws will fasten info the side of the vessel u firm hold. Ptolected by these grapples in a manner not unlike an insect’s lat.ee or sting, there projects an auger connected by means of shafting, with an independent ma chine on tba boat. Tbit instrument is intended to operate as follows, fpon the attachment of the grapples to the sides of the attacked vessel, the auger will be set in rapidjnotion and bore its way into the side. When one hole has been fore through the aftger can he withdrawn, and by means of an independent axle, the position will be changed so as to operate upon another portion of the ship, thus boring holes rapidly and large enough to link the vessel. The boat will bavaa crew of six men, who will be protaoted beneath the iron roof, the pilot observing the direction through a tube or mail telescope.
