FOII GOVERNOR,

OF 8188 COVNTV.
FOR SENATOR OF 3ITII DISTRICT,
WILLIAM M. BROWN,
OF MARION.
The Cotmor'i Ul.
liov. Hr own diitruffli'ng the ini diligence or
shrewdness of'the presses enlisted in his ad
vocacy, has written another nlertioncrring
document, the chief object ot which seem#
to be to prove that the unanimous tender to
Mmol tbe nomination for Oovernor by Jared
I. Whitaker. i of higher authority nnd con
tains <a more imperious cal] than that offered
to Lugeutua A. Niibet by the unbotight and
unbiased choice of one hundred and aeveniy
live delegate* representing fifty eight counties
iA the State.
The first hail of hia letter in devoted to the
abuae of Convention* in general and tliiff one
in particular au<) is ju*t auch a diatribe a”
might be expected from n man who rend in
it* item hat jut decree, hi* political death
warrant, and who wroto under the baleful in
epiration of anticipated defeat. We feel no
deposition to criticise this branch of the Gov
ernor'* manifesto farther than to nay that in
tbe outset ba has employed the transparent
and vulgar sophism of‘‘begging the question.'’
For iuslance, be says: “when principles are
no longer in issue, and the people have only
to choose between men” Ac. Now Governor
Brown knows, or ought to know, that the only
ueue which the people have been disposed to
make with him is purely doctrinal, and grows
out of hit repudiation of a principle which has
been maintained with unrelenting tenacity in
Federal and State administrations, throughout
all the viciaailudas of war and peace, from the
foundation of the old Government till now
True this principle has no higher or more po
tent sanctum than precedent, yet it has receiv
ed the assent, and guided tbe conduct of the
millions to the old United States for nearly
three-quarter* of a century—it is rn adjudi
cate by the concurrent judgment of three gene
rations. Gov. Drown huose f, in his first let
ter admitted the ffiet and force of the prece
dent and hesitated to incur the penal y of its
violation until Mi. Whittaker persuaded him
that he Whs a regular “buster,” and forced a
surrender of hit a<*rupl e. Yet Got. Drown
bus the temerity to decide hat there i* no
principle involved in tin*’ canvass’
The remaiodn o* this remarkable paper >9
filled with little tlie than fulsome uduUtion ot
himself, such as D-irnuui oould scarcely equal if
he bad tha Governor on exhibition. No stomach
b*4lt of frailer or less sensitive material than live
ook could breok the weight of a solid column c-f
the nauseous stuff, and wo, therefore, aerre to
our leader* only one or tiro of it* moot delicate
morsels. The floftraer 11*3-* :
“But ‘it Is Insisted with such <-artie.rtite# L.y
the advocates of the convention that it ba*
net been the ueayt lor the mine person to hold
the office ot Governor for three term.*. This i.<
certainly true; and It is equally true that it linn
not been the uta /• to have revolution or to have
s wicked war waged upon u*. and the soil ot our
own State threatened to l* drvii'hed with the
blood of her sons shei by an invading army;
aur has it beau tbe uagi for tiaorgiu to have in
the field, thirty thousaud troops called out by
her Executive, whose duty U is to know when
and with what preparation each company went
tAi the field, what has been supplied to them, and
what they lark, and to know the condition of the
t,nances of the State, and her present means ot
affording the most speedy assistance to her *uf
‘•ring troops as omergein icH may require prompt
action.”
Here the Oovernor intend* for theiufercuce to
be drawn (otherwbc the paragraph would be
rnaaolngles*} that he is the ouly man in the
Elate, who, If placed In hi* position, would know
what he above declare* it to be the duty of the
Executive to know. In respect to the first item
f Intelligence—when ami with what prepara
tion each company wont to the field—we nro
fury to know that Uovernor Brown lias no in
formation w hatever. In proof of this assertion
wa have only to refer to the fact that, about
three week* ago, the Uoveruor called on the Ma
rion Uuards, Capt. Blanford, to rendesv <.u* at
‘■ha Griffin camp of iustruction when thut com
pany Ifl'f Ifni mi 1 iijinlu mote Man - *u'%il
month prevwue to ike date of kis order.
Well, if the (lovernor don't kuow “when aud
• Ith what preparation” tho companies left, lie
• n*t know what they have aud what they lack.
In regard to the financial condition of tbe State,
If any man of ordiusry intelligence and any bb
•dnaa* capacity whatever, cannot ascertain it in
•>ae hour by an impaction >f the record# in the
Treasury Department, then indeed, we are in u
sad condition, and the sooner we break up the
ueet and give thing* an airing the better, llut
we have no idea that such ia the ease. Tin* im
putation which a fair construction of (lovernor
Brown’s latter would cast upou tho officer* in
that Departaoetis unjust and wo repul it.
Again tha Governor say-
If I have read correctly the published resolu
tions peered be tbs Convention, my administra
tion wa* found by them to be faultless, us they
did not venture te condemn it. or to make an is
sue end go before the people censuring a single
set of it. It is a just conclusion, therefore, that
the only reason winch induced them to seek a
bang* was their great desire to maintain th#
weegr end have th other offices in the State die
iributed over sgtln
It was positively wicked in Governor Brown
ikua to abuse the ekatl y of tha Convention.—
That body, doubtlF, was willing to endorse bi
admlntatrafion tn lie a>iu,hut a-# he suj pos<

The magnet parr /ui, big 1, littlu You and

by egotism alone. He might have indulged this

On the contrary he characterizes those who

It may uot be uninteresting to state that we
learn, by a private letter, ehat since the nomina

the volu (or Hovarnor taken in the 2d Ueorgia

Bio HK'vr.LL MoL’KTaiy, tiept. IG, 1801.
I closed my last lotter midnight, Thursday,
12th, amid great commotion; such a rooking,
pocking up, and hurrying to nud fro, is not of
ten visible in even camp life. The question was
passed from mouth to mouth, what's the mutter f
what's up? whore are we going? At last we Are
off and on the back track, what could it mean.
By diligent enquiry and influence nt high places,
1 ascertained that Gen. Iloaencrnn/, after finding
(Jen. Floyd had fallen back to Dogwood, deter
mined to take the wilderness road to Meadow
Bluff, and cut oil our supplies, while Gen. Cox
advanced to attack us in front. Owing to the
bad ntate of tha roads, our wagona were making
alow progress in hauling provisions, and we had
out three days rations. Although we were com
pelled to fall back, yet the bristling bayonets or
tbe rifle cannon of the Yankee invader whs not
the cause. We held a fortified position that one
thousand men could hold against ten thousand
a pas* in the mountains. As loug as wc held
our position there, tha Yankee* dared not show
tight. Like coward* as they arc, they preferred
inarching 36 or 40 miles by a wilderness road to
our rear, with the iutent to etarer n out. They
ou'tiuinbered us three to one, but dared not at
tack. Two week* ago we were compelling (lon.
Cox to fall back to Gouley Diver, and in ten daya
more wo would have beou masters of Kanawha
Valley, where we could have supplied the army
with provision* and grain. Now, by Kusau
> rautx sudden movements our a r r*ngcnient* are
totally frustrated.

could bring them now to a fight, we would lie
successful : their plans do not agree with our
hlca of warfare, and 4<> “cut utl the supplies” Is
far better than a pitched battle with the almost
certainty of defeat.
With all their rapidity to reach Meadow lUuff*,
they have Digitally failed so far. Whether they
found wt- were failiug back rapidly to the Blufl
and would roa-’h it first, or whether tho r>ad
proved too hard to travel, is a problem The
militia on the wilderness road turned out on tins
occasion and established a “blockade'* by cut

The primary nnd principal object ot me late
otate Convention wu to effect a harmonious
union of tlie people of Georgia , it was with
that object in view that we support it* nomi
nee now. That Convention was composted of
men of all the old political parties oi the Wtate
—men who went there to canvass the claims
of those whose name# had been suggested in
connection with tha Gubernatorial candidacy.
They nominated a mnnnpon whom all the vo
ters of Georgia can unite—they nominated on
electoral ticket upon which the voters of Geor
gia cun unite—and, having completed their la
bors, adjourned.
The friends of Gov Brown, L’ vever, are

has been air. ,< ly successfully done ia ftie c-duuma
of this and other journals ; and it is, therefore,
uuueceF nry lor u- to repeat th# argument* upon
that subject.
YVc simply intend to show here that those who
advocate ihe re-election of Governor Brown ri
atill sowing tbe seed* of dis-rord in our inidat by
their oppoaiiiou to and abuse ol baukiug institu
tion* ; while, on the other hand, the odvoi ales ot
the people’s candidate for Governor are endeav
oring to bury the hatchet c-f discord, and to unite
our people for ou*e at least, free from theshackel*
of party, upon u Gubernatorial candidate win-is
admitted to be every nay worthy of the public
oonfi lence. And while showing this—to pro
test, at the ’sine tune against that policy which
seeks to array onoeiai* of the community against
another -which seeks u> array capital against
labor.
The people of Georg have 4 t in their | -wer
to rebuke this policy, anil tbi ofiort to disturb
• heir harmony. They have before them, in the
person of Judge E. A. Nisbet, a candidate whose
election will bo the aurr-t and most effectual
method of aduiiuistoting that rebuke. YYe pre
sent the case to them, and Ccmiaend tho subject
to their most anreful and aiteutive consideration.

“Advices from Western Y’irglnia to-day ar#

for the third rime. The causes of this failure arc
two-fold. First, the inadequacy of our rnihurj

Th* Raleigh papers publish a longutaiemc.-.
from Gen. Wader Gwyuo, of his Iranoaciion*
iu regard to the coaat defences of North CV
olirim. The Uegister thus alludes to it:
Thi# statement makes most astounding dr*
closure# of gross negligence Ou the part - .
some of the authorities of this State and m -t
triumphantly exonerates Gen. Gywun fr.;,i
any, t lie slightest Marne for the disaster at li*:-
teras. According to this statement, acarcelj
a recoiumendstion or requisition made by Geo
Gwynn was ever c omplied with by Iheauihot
itiea hav.ng jurisdiction io the premisi-s. Ha i
the advice given l-ecn followed, and ‘he reqo.
silion* nado by Gen. Gyi-u complied with,
Uatteras would tn, all probability, have be*-a
now in our possession, instead of that of the
enemy. It would a'mrrt seem that Hatterr*
wa* given away.
The reader will be struck with that port.,,
of Gen. Gwynn’* statement which relates (
the condition of Fort Uatteras. It was current
ly reported ufter the surrender that the fort
was given up because it waa not bomb proof,
and the garrion were in momentary apprehen
slot* of tha explosion of the magazine. The
statement shows that the fort now stand# in
tact, aud that, in fact, it is a stronger work tha:
any of those erected for the defence of char’c •
ton and the siege of Fort Sumter.
Taking it altogether, the lo a of Uatteras -#
on# of the most extraordinary events of the
time*. The disregardofGen.Gwyan’s repent
ed and almost importunate riqu:silions; the
disregard of the plan ItiJ down by him for tbo
