Mr. J. N. Moore, who has befen connect

has made a good Governor, and that he lias
been active and energetic in the discharge
of his duties; that he fully understands his
business and is always ready to attend to
it. But say his enemies,he has had it long
enough. So Governor Brown (bought, and

sire to defeat an election of Governor by
the people, and this lie must know is the
object tor which these men wish (o use
him. He must know that he could not
get more votes than Gov. Brown and Mr.
Hill both together, and if lie did not do
that he could not be elected. Mr. Furlow
also knows that in the present state of af

disastrous to Georgia, to have the election
of Governor devolve upon the Legislature.

l atididalfH for the IIitrr
Some of our contemporaries are oppos- :
iug, with some spirit, the election of offi
cers or soldiers in the service, to seats in j
the Legislature. Very properly, as we
think the Constitution forbids a seat to all
such. Bat it may be well said, that they ;
are the only persons who can afford the
luxury in these times- Members will get
s x dollars per day, and pay eight for
hoard. As officers iu the Army get pay
while on furlough absences, they could
stand the expenses and not whimper.
yir. Hill’s Endorsers in Sumter Coun
ty.
dir. Geo. M.Dudley, Billy Patterson, and
some live or«six other men in Sumter,have .
endorsed Mr. llill, and advised everybody
t" vote for him. They say they know Mr.
Hill's position exactly, atul that he is all
fight. Now how came t lies a men away
ii»wu in Sumter county to know so much
more about Mr. Hill, than his neighbors
m dasper, Morgan, Putnam and Baldwin. 1
Mr. Hill has been in Millcdgeville since lie
was announced as a candidate, and some cf
iiis old political friends, we are informed,
tried very hard to find out how he stood on !
several important questions, hut could get i
no satisfaction, and we have not heard from |
the first one that will support him. The
Recorder had kept mum on the Hill sort
ition until after Mr. Hill left, and then
that paper raised the name of Tim furlow,
of .Sumter for Governor. We judge from
this, that even the Recorder could not ;up-
pjft Mr. Hill, and when the Recorder re
fuses to support an old \\ big. in opposition ,
to (i.iv. Brown, his case must be a very sus
P'cious one. We have seen several gen- ‘
tleinen from Jasper and Putnam within a
t , , , 1 , „ btate
tew days, and they say that mail} 7 ot Mr.
Rill’s old personal and political friends will
11 >t touch him with a forty-foot pole. When
Mr. Hill's old neighbors and friends refuse
to endorse him, there is something suspi-
critical period, decide that the old com-
! mander.who had carried them safe through
many storms, had had the office long
enough, and turn him out and put in u new
and inexperienced man ? Or suppose,after
he has led them in triumph through so
many bloody battle fields, the Army of
Northern Virginia, when the enemy were
: making preparation for an attack, should
sty Gen’! Lee has had command long
enough and select a new and inexperien
cod man, to command them, would not such
■conduct lie the climax of folly? Neither
the experienced Mariner iu the one case,
nor Gen'i Lee ill the other, would he re
tained in position for his own benefit, hut
for the good of those whose lives and for
tunes are at stake. So with Gov. Brown ;
he should not he retained in office for his
own interest, hut that lie tnay use his past
.experience to promote the iuterest and pro
tect the rights and property of tho people
of the whole State. But we have said
that it is very strange if the soldiers and
their families desire a change. No oils has
labored more faithfully in any- cause than
Gov Brown lias, to protect their rights aud
promote their comfort. When the cry
came up from the army that tdie soldiers
were suffering for clothing, he urged upon
the Legislature an immediate appropriation
for their relief, and never relaxed his efforts
until the appropriation was made, which
has enabled hitn to relieve those who were
destitute. Looking at the prospect of suf
fering by Georgia soldiers, the coming win
ter, he is now exerting every energy in his
power and using ail the means at his com
mand, to have a supply of clothing in read
iness by' the approach of cold weather, and
it is confidently believed that he will be
able tc make the necessary arrangements
to have clothes enough on hand by- the
coming of Winter, to give a good suit to
every Georgia soldier in the field, who
eauuot he supplied by-, the Confederate Gov
ernment. When soldiers’ families were
suffering for food, Gov. Brown urged an
appropriation for their relief and obtained
it. We need not say what has been the
result; hut for the relief afforded in this way-
how much they- must have suffered. They
all kno-.v this and know how they got re
lief. When they needed Salt last year
and had no means of getting it, by- active
energy- he has procured and furnished them
a supply. .Now when they- arc again in
want lie has made ttie necessary provision
and is again distributing it among them,and
has on hand some for every soldier’s fami
ly in Georgia, which they- will get as soon-
as their names are reported by the Inferior
court of their respective counties. There
lias been much difficulty- in getting cotton
thread to make clothes. By an arrange
ment with the factories flic Governor is
now procuring and distributing thread to
all the destitute families of Soldiers in the
In addition to this lie is having

no strife in our Legislature over the elec
tion of Governor. The very men who have
hypocritically professed to he in favor of
harmony, are now striving by every means
in their power to stir up excitement and
strife, and we do not believe that Mr. Fur
low will consent to he used by them for
that purpose. But even if Mr. Furlow
wished to he a candidate, wc do not believe
he would wish his name announced in the
Southern Recorder, because the announce
ment of a candidate for Governer by the
Recorder has always been the death knell
of his hopes.
Impressments.
Some people of good sense get in a pas
sion and say hard things against Govern
ment agents for impressing their wheat,
bacon, horses &c, and paying them good
prices for the same. Now, how foolish it is
to abuse the Agent for doing his duty faith
fully ? Ilow illiberal; how unkind. Would
these same men abuse.their overseers for
di'charging their orders? No, indeed.
I’iien why- abus^iie A£ent of tin: Govern

his instructions? Abuse can do uo good.

Is Gold “ Current?”
Webster defines the word current, “run
ning or flowing; lienee passing from one to
another as current opinion ; generally re
ceived, as current coin.” Now, wc would
submit, that if gold was current, according
to Webster, then we would have scen it
going about and had some of it, too. The
truth is, gold is not current. The Banks
may have some in their vaults ; and a few
sharpers who are engaged in the Blockade
trade, may have gold, but who else has
any. How many citizens of Georgia ean
siiow ten dollars in gold or silver? Pre
cious few. Then what nonsense to say
that t here is such a tiling amongst us as a
gold and silver currency. How foolish io
say that gold and stiver should regulate the
price of Confederate money, when such
things do not exist in the country. And
the yankces are hut little better off’iu this
respect. It takes a dollar and thirty cents
of green backs, to buy a gold dollar in New
York, provided the gold dollar is there to
buy. Property is the basis of the Confed
erate currency. As.long as the property
is good, the money is good. Every man,
therefore,who has a dollar’s w.orth of prop
erty is directly interested in keeping down
the expenses of the Government. Some
men seem to believe just the contrary, as
they try to make the Government pay
eight or ten prices for everything it buys of
them.

She Public laws.
Mu. Editor: So far as I can ascer
tain, the laws passed at the last Regu
lar Session of the Legislature of Geor
gia, which adjourned about the middle
of December, 1S62, and those passed
at the Extra Session, which ended
about the 20th of April, JSG3, have not
vet been, distributed among the peo
ple. Upon the Fast Day, which was
appointed to be observed during the
Extra Session of the Legislature, two
very able addresses were delivered be
fore the members by Bishop Pierce and
Dr.- Palmer. These addresses, by a
resolution of the House of Representa
tives, were ordered to be printed, and
to be distributed with the laws. From
certain causes affecting the reverend
gentlemen personally, a considerable
time elapsed before their addresses
were put into the hands of the public
printers; blit I am informed that they
were received by them more than two
months ago, and yet they are not iorth-
coming. The members of the Legis
lature did not suppose that the effect
of their resolution would be to retard
the distribution of the laws; yet it
would seem to justify the printers in
the course they have adopted in keep
ing back the laws. But I would like
to know what has delayed the distri
bution of them up to this time, if it be
true that the Fast Day addresses were
placed in tho hands of the public prin
ters more than two months ago ?
We take the above from the Savan
nah Republican of tbe 2nd. The pub
lic Laws, Journals Ac, were all turned
over to tbe State authorities the 1st ol
August. By resolution of the last
General Assembly it was ordered that
the Sermons of Dr. Palmer and Bishop
Pierce should be sent out with the
Laws and Journals. These Sermons
have also been iu the bands of the State
authorities more than a month. We
understand that the Governor is wait
ing,to send out with the Laws, for the
finishing up of the binding of the Code
of Georgia, which is progressing as fast
as possible. Mr. Seals, the contractor,
having failed to bind the Code, the
Governor placed the unbound copies
iu the hands of a binder in this city,
who is doing the work as fast as he can.
A. Political Fraud Attempted.
The Atlanta Gazette, the organ of
Mr. Joshua Hill, publishes the follow
ing us a part of a speech of Mr. Hill
delivered in Washington, before the se
cession of Georgia:
“If my own Slate, acting through
the deliberate judgment of her people,
should proceed to sever her connection
with the Federal Government, I BEG
HER FOR HONOR’S SAKE—I BE
SEECH HER CHILDREN FOR
THEIR OWN SAKE—I IMPLORE
HER SENATORS AND REPRESEN
TATIVES, to have the manliness, af
ter the act is done, TO REFUSE TO •
TAKE PART IN ANY RECON-
sentence is given, of whiclr the above
from the Gazette is only a part. This
is the real sentence :
“If my own State, acting through
the deliberate judgment of Iter people,
should proceed to this extremity, I beg
her for her honor’s sake—1 beseech her
children for their own sake—I implore
her Senators and Representatives to
have the manliness, after the act is
done, to refuse to take part in any re
construction of this Union,and to stand
out an isolated nation in the world.
There is dignity in that position, if !
there be not safety.”
It will be seen that Mr. Hill wished, j
if Georgia seceded, to have her “ slant/ j
out an isolated nation in the world.” Now j p r ; vato j ^ Sperlin.
why was this last portion of the sen
tence left out of the extract it) the Ga
zette ? Evidently for the purpose of
deceiving the readers of that paper,and
making them believe that Mr. Hill
meant one tiling, when in reality he
meant another.

that were ever wojpti by aiSenlighteued people.
Let no one hope to escape by mean abandon

All sncfi dreams are worse than delusions. Three
quarters of a century of expel ienee has proved
that no covenant, agreement, or constitutional
compact will bind the people of the Northern
States, as communities, longer than it is their in
terest to observe the obligation. It would take all
the property of the South to pa} - the immense war
debt of tiie North, and to satisfy Yankee cupidity

tion is nothing h/f stSbmissioit, and submission
plunges ns intoyfiie defpest.Jcgradation, and the
most abject poverty iffid ipfsery. If there he any
who favor su^u meaifs to strurif peace, let them re
member me sentirmeiit of the great Carolina
statesmans It is ttie peace which the kitegivis
to the J6ve, the wolf to the lamb, Russia to Ro
land, and death ta its victim. If we prefer to die
free rather than J’ve slaves, we must put forth our
whole energies In this crjrfisiof our fate.
Georgia ha^'uever failed To *r , spopd to every
call made by.lbo President for troops from the
commeneetntfnryf th* war Iff the present, day, and
she has, in every cafce wlnSu a call has been made
for voluutEers? tendered more than the number re
quired. In response to the late call for 8.000 men
lor loeaffdefense. I shall have the gratification to
tender to life President over 15,000 without count
ing the drafted men. Tbe draft was only neces
sary in a few localities to compel each county to
do its just part, when some had tendered three
limes the number required, and to compel a few
inen to enter service who could not otherwise he
influenced to do so. The result has been a tri
umphant vindication of (he characti r and volun
teer spii it of the State. There yet remain in our
beloved State, including the oigauizatiuus formed
for home defense, over forty thousand men ahie to
bear arms in an emergency. If but half this num
ber will rtinforce the Confederate army now on
our border, we can drive the enemy out of East
Tennessee aud tree our State from threatened in
vasion
Georgians, you wbo remain in tbe Slate,
owe this to the gallant men wlio have left
their homes and gone to distant fields to
njeet tbe foe. lou owe it to tbe orphans
of tbe immortal dead wbo have lost their
lives in your defense. You owe it to tbe
noble women of Georgia who with hearts
full of patriotism, have by their untiring
energy clothed tiie naked, and cpntributed
millions Mi dollars to tbe support of our
cause ; and\dio like guardian angels, have
ministered to the coinfmjfr and soothed tbe
agony of the sick wounded of every
State, wbo iu tluillf passage over our terri
tory have eom^within their reach. You
owe it to y/flr own wives and children, to
the fanners of our soldiers now in service
ates, and to unborn posterity.*
wiir “you not rise in youf.might and put
.forth all your manliness foY. this glorious
consummation ?
Having been asked by tbe authorities at
Richmond, to call out the Home Guards,
to assist in this emergency, 1 invite their
attention to the accompanying order of
the Adjutant and Inspector General of
this State, and direct that it be promptly
obeyed.
Men of Georgia, —illiD’' 1 stout hearts
and strong arms, when yotMwk^e your
farms and your merchandise to assist in
driving the vandals from onr borders, the
remembrance of tbe fate of New Orleans,
Nashville, and other places which have
surrendered to the enemy, must unalter
ably fix your determination,that they shall
not occupy Georgia territory, and tyran
nize over Georgia’s citizens; and must
nerve your aims for the contest, and impel
you to strike for the preservation of your
homes, the protection of your property, the
purity ot your wives and daughters, aud
the transmission of your liberties to the
latest prosterity.
Dark clouds hang around us and wc arc
passing through a trying ordeal, hut truth
aud justice are on our side, and if every
man will put his trust iu God, aud do iiis
whole duty, our cause will triumph, and
we shall not only conquer a peace, but we
shall establish Constitutional Liberty, wit fa-
out which our struggle will have been iu
vain.

Resolved 1st, That we their companions

lost some of its noblest defenders, and so
ciety its most elegant gentlemen ; and to
their bereaved relatives and friends we

and will continue to live, while men love
liberty and despise tyranny.
