Sempra! of the meet bitter enemies of Gov. Brown

of Govertii/r upon the Legislature. They have no
hopo «?f defeating him by a vote of the people, but
they hope by having many candidates in different
parts of the State to prevent au election by the peo
ple and throw it upon the Legislature. In pursu
ance of this scheme they have called upon nearly
every prominent man in tho State to allow them
to use him as a candidate, Col. Garlrell, Judge
Cabaniss, Judge Love, Geu’l. Colquitt and Judge
Jenkins, have alt been solicited to run but all re

Messrs Editors•: The opponents of Gov. Brown
have been trying hard to make s.lie capital against
Gov. Brown, because of bis difference with J’resi-
ident Davis as to the constitutionality and expedi
ency of the Conscript Act, and they pretend to be
lieve that things would go on better if the State
had a Governor who had no nerve of his own, or
who believed that l’resident Davis never had done
wrong, and could not do wrong, Ac.
Well, it would seem that all the balance of the
States in the Confederacy have had just such Gov-
eruors as these opponents of Gov. llrown,"in Geor-
kia, so much deservA). And wiiat have they done ?
Gov. Brown, after South Carolina seceded, was
not only the tiist to seize all the Forts and public
property of the United States he could get hold oi,
but his example was such a good one, atl the bal
ance of tho Governor* followed right after him.
But, they would not, or did not, loilow him ; fur-
by
his experience and untiring energy
and the soldiers understand this,and they will cast

The people j aes ’ 8 f eam boa*s, and took upwards ol 20,01)0 mas-

them over to the Confederacy. What other Gov
ernor did as much, or did half as much, in render
ing aid to President Davis, in this xvar. But this
is uot all. In the early part of last year, President
Davis (before the passage of the Conscription Act)
called upon the Governors of the various States
for their quota of volunteers—asking from Georgia
12,000. Notwithstanding the State then had about
10,000 state troops in the lield, at Savannah, guar
ding that City and the coast, thereby relieving the
Confederate Government, to a large extent, in de
fending Savannah and our sea coast ; Gov. Brown,
by his energy and the spirit which lie infused into
his Military officers not only raised, at the proper
time, the 12,000 troops called for, but tendered
about 3,000 more than were called for, while all
of these par exnltence, “ Administration” Govern
ors did not and could not furnish even tho quota
called for by the President, and in many of the
States the quota was notjurnished, until their sol
diers were forced into tlwscrvice by the Conscript
Act. And, more recently,when the President call
ed for 8,000 men from Georgia,? ,000 from Alabama,
and a due proportion from the other States, to
organise for State defence, where has any State
come up to Georgia's standard ! Notwithstanding
Georgia lias in the service, perhaps, a larger num
ber of X’olunteers than any other StatQ, according
to her population, and also had 2,000 State troops,
in tho field, in the upper part of the State; yet by
the extraordinary exertions of Gov. Brown, not
only the 8,000 but 15,000 liavo been raised. What

To the Howe Guards note called into service :
1 have had a correspondence with President Da
vis upon the subject, and lie has decided that as
you were organized under liis requisition upon the
State tor troops, for home defense, and have been
mustered into Confederate service, it is liis right
to appoint the general officers to' command you
Ho therefore denies my right to command you, and
advises me that, he has directed Brig. Gen. Howell
Cobb to attend to the organization of the troops
now called out.* Whatever may he my opinion ot
my lights, or the rights of the .State, in connection
with the command in tho present state of the or
ganizations, l can have no conflict with the Con
federate authorities in the face of the enemy—when
they are upon our own soil, threatening our homes.
1 have, therefore, in compliance with tho direc
tions of the President, turned over the command to
G*n. Cobb, an eminent Georgian, well known to
ycSti all, who is now in Atlanta, to whom all future
communications in reference to supplies, detail,and
other matters connected with tit*; organizations,
should he addressed. I shall render Gen Cobb all
the assista:me iu my power, and am ready to do all

will give them a whole -sheet, as heretofore, as

Mill to procure a supply. We will spare no ex

us to publish a large and well filled sheet, and we
have, with groat reluctance, resorted to a half
sheet. If the Marietta Mill, as we trust it will,re
sumes operations at an early day, we are assured
of a supply. If it does not, we shall make ar

We invite attention to General Orders No. 1 .and
the address of Gov. Brown to the Home Guards ; to
be fontjd in this paper. Gov. Brown’s address
breathes the right spirit. It is another evidence of

President in the great struggle for independence
now going on. Let those who charge the Govern
or with “ tactions opposition” to President Davis,
read his address, and forever cease their grum
blings and accusations.

We have lately conversed with a gentleman who
is direct front Gilmer county, and he reports a very

avowed Union PXRTY in several of these coun
ties. They are openly in favor of a return to the
old union, and agaioet prosecuting the War any
farther. They have union candidates for the Leg
islature. All of these nnion tuen arc in favor of
Mr. Joshua Hill for Governor. The contest be
tween the friends of Gov. Brown aud the War, mid
the friends of Mr. Hill and Union is very bitter
and fierce, and our informant believed Mr. Ilill
and union would get a majority in several coun
ties. Mr. Furlow is not spoke < i, nor thought of,
in all that region. This is an alarming state of
facts and shows that Mr. Hill’s friends arc more
numerous and dangerous than many of us have

What has the other States, besides Alabama,done ?
We hear of no troops raised by them. And yet,
all this, does not close the months of those who
don’t like Gov. Brown, who want their particular
friends, or old party friends.to have controll of the
affairs of State. But, notwithstanding Mr. Davis
is well pleased, notwithstanding Gov Brown is

Brown. ITis candidacy, therefore, increases Hill’s
relative ■ strength and adds to the chances of his
election. A few true and loyal men can be found
among Mr. Hill’s sup|>ort>-rs. but. that he will get
the vote of every man who is disaffected to the
Government, opposed to the war and in favor of
reconstruction or submission,we have not a doubt.
As between Gov. Brown and Mr. Furlow we be
lieve the foimer to be much tire strongest through
out the State ; and because of this superiority, and
believing that by supporting him we shall best
subserve the object of rebuking and throttling this
spirit of disaffection, or treason,we are for Brown.”
EW The devil quoting scripture lias always been
regarded as the height of moral absurdity, but
such an expedient on the part of his Satanic Ma
jesty for the purpose of deceiving and duping weak
sinners is not more ridiculous or absurd than the
professions of a certain class of old hack politicians
and editors, who are fotever prating of their espe
cial friendship for President Davis, and endeavor
ing to create the impression that all who may at
any time have differed in theii views on questions
of expediency from the President are enemies of
“ the Administration,” aud of course hostile to the
Confederate Government. XVhat can be more su-
premely ridiculous or more disgusting than to hear
the advocates of Joshua Hill, men who have never
entertained a political opinion in common with
President Davis, and w ho have spent the years of
their prime in bitterly opposing tho principles
which have placed him in his present position as
President of the Southern Confederacy, denoun
cing such men as Gov. Brown and others, whose
w r hole lives have been true to tho doctrines of
Southern Rights and State Sovereignty, as hostile
to ths Confederate Government. XVhen we read

To ilic I oters of the 4th Congressional Dist:
At the instance of friends, I announce myself
as a candidate to represent you in the next Con
gress of the Confederate State* If elected, 1
shall advocate such measures as are best calcula
ted to bring the war to a speedy and successful
close—shall seek to promote the harmony and
efficiency of all departments of tlie government,
ana by the cultivation of closer relations with
friendly foreign powers, to secure their aid and
co-operation in the struggle in which w’e are eb-
gaged.
Regarding the condition of our finances as one
of the most"important subjects now demanding
the attention of Congress, I shall labor diligent
ly to improve the currency and keep tiie
public debt within safe and legitimate bounds.
The wants and welfare of our soldier*, with
whom 1 have so long served, and whose sufferings
and self-sacrificing devotion I have had so many
opportunities of observing, will receive a large
share of my time and attention. Nor shad I be un
mindful of the interests of the industrial and pro
ducing classes of our people upon whose
skill and labors our success so largely depends.
In a word, if honored with your suffrages I shall
devote myself earnestly, faithfully and assiduous
ly to your service—actuated no less by my sense
of duty as your representative, than by my heart
felt desire to secure the independence and the
happiness of our beloved Confederacy.

Excitement in Georgia.—The election ex
citement in Georgia reminds us of. the old time.
It is getting so warm that “traitor” is not an un
common word of the vocabulary of tho papers.
For Congress and the Legidatttre the candi
dates are as thick as autumn leaves There is no
way of enumerating them. For Governor there are
imely, Joseph E. Brown, the
I ill; and a hto noptinte, Ma
jor T. A1 Furlow. The excitement is mainly con
fined to litis branch of the popular service. Every
one taiows what Brown's position is. He is the
Governor, and as jealous of the rights of tlie State
as a lien c in be of her one chicken. If lie err, it is
on virturo’s side. 11 is whole soul seems to he oc
cupied by oue purpose, and that is to defeat the
the Yankees.—Having a profound respect for the
loyalty ofGeorgia, we have a ri^ht to expect that
ho will ho elected by a large majority.
Hill is a man of marked ability, lie is an ac
complished gentleman in the management of our
English tongue—a scholar, doubtless, more than
a man of action. He splits on terms, and is very
careful hisjusie of tlinp.’A recent letterjdefinirig his
position lacks a good deal of what we should think
the loyal people of Georgia desire, and is certainly
liable to a construction which implies, it not
proves, a want of earnestness in the cause of the
country
Major Furlow has also published a letter, and a
very well written one. The central idea of it is
respect tor the President, and a determination to
give him hearty support.
'Ibe election is to be held on tlie first XX’edues-
day of next month. The soldiers of the State
no matter where they may he, have a right to
vote. In all probability, they will support-Gov.
