Johnson, Sec. Griffin, Ga., Aug. 1J, 1SG3. Cbarleston to be Defended to the Last Extremity. Various reports from •Chailestou were in circulation, but tip to ten o’clock iast even ing we bad received no telegraphic news from that city We do not care to repeat the street rumors. From persons who came ftora Charleston within the past few days, and front private letters received here, we learn that a formidable attack is daily ex pected, and that tlie- utmost exertions are being used to place the city in readiness to successfully resist tbe worst. Extensive wotksare rapidly approaching completion, which will add greatly to the strength of our defences, and a spirit of determined rc- sistance, to the last extremity,animates the troops and citizens. Tbe Mercury, of Saturday makes the following extract from the report adopted by tbe South Carolina Convention last winter: . “ That it should be expressed, as the sense of the People of South Carolina, as sembled in Convention, that Charleston should be defended at any cost of life or property ; and that in tlieir deliberate judg ment, they would prefer a repulse of the enemy, with the entire city in ruins, to an evacuation or surrender on any terms what ever." The Mercury reminds its readers that resolutions in conformity with these views were passed by the Convention and unani mously concurred in by the Governor and Council of State, by whom'certified copies of them were transmitted to the President of the Confederate States, the Secretary of War, and to the Confederate Generals in South Carolina. Tbe Mercury adds : General Beauregard lias recently urged tbe departure of all non-combatants from Charleston, and prohibited the ingress of any more. There should be no mistake concerning his views, either as to the irnnti- nency of tlie danger at this point, or as to the character of the defence that lie will make. Let it be distinctively understood by ev erybody that Charleston is to Lie defended to the last extremity. If the harbor is ta ken,the city is tabe fought street by street, aud house by house, as long as we have a foot of ground to stand upon. It is high time that public attention should be directed to this subject. AYe were pleased to learn that the gentlemen j composing the Commission met yesterday, j We trust that in their efforts to make ! Charleston ready forthwith to stand slid- I lirig, they will have the co-operation and assistance of our entire population. Noth ing could stay us and the country, in the event of its fall, but the most heroic and devoted exertions; nothing can save Charleston but a desperate defence. One and all, let ns bestir ourselves, and make ready at once for the rapidly approaching stmggle. J.et none ho caught napping,and no obstacles be thrown in the way of our militSrv authorities. A Cnndidnlo at I.ail. We observe that certain opposition pa- per», as they termed themselves during tiie great controversy for Southern rights and Southern equality, which resulted in the secession of the Confederate States, have put forth the name of Joshua Hill as their candidate for Governor. The an- | nouncement of Mr. Hill’s name is formally j made at the head of the editorial columns | of the Atlanta Gazette, with an editorial I endorsement and the assurance that he | will serve if elected. In an editorial nrg- ' ing the election of Air. Hill, the Athens j Watchman says: | “We are learning by hitter expetience that hotspurs and demagogues ate unfit to govern a country. Such men brought us in to trouble, and seem to bo incapable of taking us out. They were suffered to lead the country in 1S61, and none of the bless ings which they predicted have been real ized, while most of the evils apprehended by more considerate men have come to pass. Our next Governor should be taken from tlie latter class. Mer. who were ealin when others were excited, who saw clearly when others were blinded, who kept sober when others were intoxi cated, have given evidence of the sagacity and soundness for which the public mind instinctively calls. Events are daily prov ing their wisdom. They, if anybody, can deliver us from that gulf of trouble in which we are plunged. There is no worth ier represetative of this class than Joshua Hill, of the county of Morgan, and he is hereby proposed to the people as a suita ble man for Governor.” AVe would ask the intelligent reader whether the above does not sound very much as if the editor was addressing those whom he supposes to he opposed to the action of the people of Georgia in TS61’ aud iu favor of retracing the steps that ‘b,ought us into trouble.’ Can it be pos sible that the Empire State is to be dis graced with a ‘reconstruction’ candidate- for Governor. AA’e know very litlie of Mr. Hill, having entirely lost sight of him after the close of his brief career in the United States Congress, during which he was only distinguished for bis abject sub serviency to the Northern Anti-Southern rights party to which he belonged. If we remember rightly, be voted against several prominent Soot hern ^measures, and even went so-far as to vote with or for Henry AVinter Davis, the 3Iaryland traitor, for Speaker of the House ot Representa tives. A\ 7 c remember that his course in Congress was strongly reprobated by leading men of both political parties in Georgia aud throughout the South, and was made the subject of remonstrance by the State Legislature. AA’e shall deeply regret the inaugura tion of a political controversy in Georgia at this time, more especially if a party can be found in the State to make the issue so manifestly hinted at by the Watchman. AA’e warn all true patriots to beware. fSavannah News. [BY AUTHORITY.] ACTS AND RESOLUTIONS OF THE CONGRESS OF THE CONFEDER ATE STATES, PASSED AT THE THIRD SESSION—1863, COMMUNICATBIL Gov.
