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.

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.

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< that it or • solitary individual in the State jusi>fl<.. or approves his eonduo* tu n-fvreoce to the Pbi.

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.

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 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.
