The article, under the above caption, presents the issue, m the great contest now progress ing in its true light. Head it thoughtfully- ' is from the Richmond Examiner. Ciov. Brown s Letter to Judge Clarkf It seems there are a lew white-livered cowards of malicious falsehoods ate character. Judge in South Western Georgia who were disposed to skulk and dodge from their* duty of defending the the state, when invaded. The legislature had put these men in the reserved Militia, and made it toe Governor’s duty to call them out in ease the State was invaded. The Governor ha* tried to make all of these men do tbei' duty, and, ot course, ns Mii-rcJ up their »**•* «““'*! “ J " order to avenge tKiase.ves on Hun for mal .1 g thepi do their duty, they have reported and prop- abated ft looj* stiit against the Governor‘s priv . Clarke bearing these reports continually circma ted, wrote to the Governor and informed him what these men were saying about him. The Governor in answer, has given the lie 'direct to a 1 .he charges, and has permitted Judge Clarke to Publish his letter, which will he found in our paper to-day, Tli^e who have propagated these slanders, will now have to prove their charges, or stand before the world branded as public: slander ,.rs We have noticed that those who ave ,he most to say against the Governor and his pets. ' when the trial'came, and the enemy were in. oor midst, were first to skulk and dodge from then duty. “In time of Baids. ’ We copy some sensible and timely advice, on thi, .object, from .1.0 Macon Daily Confederate. There is one suggestion which we would act Let every farmer and planter, or overseer, when he hours of the approach of the Raiders, mount every horse and mule on his plantation with ne groes, and go with all haste to the nearest city or Town, if such places be within a day s ride. His horses, mules and negroes will be much safer with Confederate soldiers, tl„n in the hands of the enemy. He, too. can take his gun and ammuni tion and aid organised forces in repelling invasion Very few men will remain, on their premises du ring a visit from the raiders, and they might as well be twenty, as two, miles from home, so far as, the safety of their homes and property is con cerned. It would be well for the men at home, m every Militia District, to form themselves into in one District, th.i - neighboring district in the same county, Grant's last strong trump. The whole North was in a high state of jubilation at the prospect of cap turing Petersburg by blowing up i'eauregard’s fortifications Grant felt certain of success. But the utter fai.ure to carry his point, and the coun termining of Beauregard, sent him off to meet Old Abe' at Fortress Monroe, fora consultation.— It was then and there decided that the campaign wAs a failure, and that a change of base to the Potomac, was the ‘’next best thing” to do. We look for Grant's Army to turn up somewhere in Northern Virginia, and then fora repetition of the sliding process down the Rappahannock, Rapidan &c., if Lee will allow him to travel that route un molested. Lincoln may believe that Lee intends to invade the North from the Valley, iu good earnest, and may keep G'ant on the Potomac, hilt we believe Gelt. Early will retire just far enough to draw Grant into the embrace of Gen. Lee’s in vincible veterans. At any rate, tbe campaign against Richmond is a complete failure, and even the siege of Petersburg, if it is continued- will draw its slow length along, through,' ut the summer, if the miasma of the swamps about t.he James and Appomattox Hoes not kill off the besiegers. Oh, that Gen. llood could make such an exhibit as Gen. Lee presents to the gaze of an admiring world ! Grant’s Campaign. (ten. Grant's campaign in Virginia, is considered by the people of the Solith a stupendous failure. The Northern press (we know not the real sentiments of the people) is slow to acknowledge the great truth that, of all the attempts to capture Richmond,Grant’s is the most complete miscairiage, whether considered witli reference to the loss oflife, or the material advantages opposition gained. Grant could have begun his cam paign exactly where he now lies, without the loss of a man. The North well understands what Grant’s change of base, from the Rapidan to the South side of the James, means. Rut it is agony for the North to con cede Grant’s failure. He was the “coming man.” the “man on horseback,” the “Savior of his country-”— He had the best equipped, best fighting Army on th e plrnet; certainly the largest which Yankee energy and money lind been able to put in motion si flee the war began. From the capture of Richmond, the cam paign has changed to the siege of Petersburg ! We snv the North knows Grant has blundered stupidly, hut will he slow to own up, and call for a new leader.— Some of the Western and New York papers have spo ken out freely and fearlessly lor .several weeks ; but at length the New England papers give utterance to fhe long smothered fires of indignation and resentment. Rerc is the language of a Connecticut paper. It tells the story unvarnished. The Hartford.Times says : “What indeed can be said of a campaign of two months, which.while it 1ms gained for 11s no advantage lias sacrificed 80 00(1 men. of whom a lc-aiful propor tion are slain ? The attempt to establish for him claim to generalship is as idle and utterly empty as the tale of his successes, or his speedy capture of Richmond.— Leaving Washington and the great railways running As we go* to press we have no important news from any quarter. Movements are on foot, how ever, .whichawill soon be heard from, that promise glorious results to our cause- Be patient for a few days. Stanton, the Yankee Secretary of W ar has re signed. The N. Y. Herald calls on Lincoln to come down ; and says he stands no chance to be elected. Another Convention is spoken of. Mc Clellan is growing in favor. The Cndrtn. The Cadets of the Georgia Military Institute, have been ordered to MilledgeVille. Arrival of tbe. military. A considerable force of Infantry and Artillery arrived here on Sunday night, which with the lo cal force, we think is sufficient to meet any raid likely to be sent against ns. From Mobile. From the Advertiser we copy .the following particu lars : From Below. The gunboat Morgan succeeded in renching the city last night, though chased and tired at by the enemy’s fleet. Her only casualty in the fight was one engineer slightly wounded by a shot which passed through the ship near the galley. The Gaines crew havealso come up iu her launches. No officer hurt. The Tennessee was completely disabled in Ibe light, being surrounded by her powerful enemies. She had four killed; have not learned how many wounded. An enemy's monitor and one gunboat were sunk. The advices from Fort Morgan are cheering. Tie* casualties are astonishingly light, the enemy firing wildly, and seeming intent main Ivon running past. Captain Johnson, of Fredericksburg, Va., command ing the Water Battery, was slightly wounded. One man was killed and two slightly wounded in side the fort. The garrison are in tine spirits and con fident. Lieut.Smith, at Fort Morgan, lost one of iiis hands. Center from below.

If the Treasury vaults do not suffer more from this organization than Ins “rebel” armies, old Abe will be lucky. There is but one thing more needed to make this battalion complete—that is, to mus'er in Old Abe's Con gressmen when they return to Washington. A alcji in ihc right direction. Gen. Ilood is gathering up quite an army from the cooks and teamsters. If the. Quartermaster and Commissary departments w^e filled by clerks who had been disabled in battle, thousands ot able bcd : ed men could be added to the Armies ot llood and Lee. An order has been issued for the hiring of negroes as teamsters. The Govern ment offers $23 per month, with food, clothing and medical attention, and guaranties the value o f the negro against loss by battle or the accidents df War. If tiie negro s are not voluntarily hired, fhev will be impressed immediately Caninrrd. Maj. Davidson's ccm nand were captured near Atlrens, Ga., and sc-nt to Macon last 1 hursd.y. This is the party that destroyed the Central Rail Road from Gordon to the Oconee bridge, and which passed in 2 miles of Milledgeville ' on their .retreat towards Shermau’s lines. W« learn that the Quate-rmaster escaped. H>* had with him $15,- O;i0 "taken from the Government at Gordon.— Many individuals lost money and other valuables by Davidson’s thieving band. Davidson islroin Illinois. Tbe Jews* There was a night attack on our lines near At lanta on Saturday evening, and oil the morning of the 7th three different attacks were made, all of which were repulsed, with great loss to the en emy, and but small loss on our side. T he whole number of- Raiders captured is about 3,000. Yankee accounts of the 9th, say that General E*rly is retreating down the Valley. Grant and S aff were at Harper's Ferry, on Sunday the 7th. Tills looks as if Grant was about to change Use again. The siege of Petersburg will soon i e. ended, and Loth Armies will meet in Northein Yirghiia for a trial of strength on the old battle grounds.

The cane crop is the largest god most promising ever known iu this State. to those who assail Us private character, and who had succeeded in pursuading some good persons that those assaults were justly made. Gov Brown's history has been a peculiar one.— lie has been more abused for virtues than most putdic men have been for vicetr. When he was first elected, there were those who condemned him tor living plainly, and refusing to give splendid entertainments, and to' keep an expensive estab lishment. Having but a small estate, and having a family to provide for, he persisted in what he believed the best course for an honest man to pur sue, and lived within his income. Shortly affer entering upon his office, there were those who ridiculed him for ordering the employees of the State Railroad to gather up the was*e iron that lay from one end to the other. But ho kept up this business until the whole was gathered and brought at public sale many thousands of dollars to the State Treasury. Lately it has been ascer mined that he has purchased some lands in South Western Georgia. Although many , good men have done the same, his doing-so, has been crit icised by many persons, and the most unjust spec ulations have been indulged as to the sources from whence he obtained the money wherewith to pur chase them. His letter shows where it came from, and every man who legardsthe preservation of h's own seif respect, will hereafter let his name in this connection rest. Upon some matters of pub” • policy, Governor Brown has differed from tlie-Confederale Govern ment. Being an honest man and a Christian, he has felt himself bound by his solemn oath to op pose that policy. Those persons among whom it has become a habit to deride constitutions, have blamed him lor this conduct, and attributed it to ambitious motives. It has been wifli his enemies no set off that his administration has saved to the State more money titan any preceding administra tion had saved ; nor that Georgia soldiers and their families have been better provided with the necessaries of life thair muse ut* nr,.- -u... . nor that in every great emergency he has more effectually aud more promptly brought out. the strength of the State than any Governor of any flther fctato lias done, and by Jhese means, has rendered the very greatest co operation that lias been rendered the Confederate Government in resisting the invasion of our enemies. His en- mies have persistently tried fur seven years to ruin him ; and the lesser politicians who frequent the cities, who squander their substance upon their precious persons, and whose debts go un paid, have never tired in rifiiculii g those virtues wh eh have enabled him to secure a heartier sup port than any Governor of Geoigia has eve/re ceived from her people. They, the people, know him to be an honest man, and a just man, and a brave man, and the popular heart will always stand by an honest, a just and a I rave man — Gov. Brown has been sustained by them because be has unflinchingly tried to do those dirties which he owed to God, to his country, and to his family. The citizens of other States are frequently surprise 1 at the opposition and the cheractei of the opposition that a small party in the State.has always brought • gainst liira, and it is notorious that there is not a State in the Confederacy by whose people lie is not mo-e esteemed thair any oilier governor out of that State. lo say that he will ultimately triumph over all such unprincipled hostility [would not be strictly true. He ha** already triumphed over it. It is not- only true, but a large majority of the people of the Confederate States know it lo he true, Hint, lie has in his public career, made fewer mistakes than any other public citizen who has dohe asuaaffy public acts as he has, and no civilian of this generation lias ma.de more progress Wards an exalted end rapidly enduring fame.-— * He is getting it fairly and honest!}! and if he should not choose to throw it aw ay, there is no man nor party that can deprive hiinofit. It is and will continue to be his highest praise that his enemies have no other policy of hostility than the 'no ot assailing bis virtues* He fears God, he loves las country, ho docs what he can to supply its poc-r with the means of subsistence, and he arovides for his own family. If doing these kings will ruin a man. then 'is Joseph E. Brown destined to he lcst in this world and in the next.

We have spent v »st .suras of money, and lost hun dreds of valuable liv es, on these gunboats, which might have been, saved to the Government and Country. The expei iment has, indeed, been a costly one". It is to b e hoped that no more money will be thrown, away on these “man traps.” We agree w itli a writer in the Republican, who say;-: Though toe chivalric men of the navy may point with pride to their record, yet they must remem ber lit at they are contending with the first naval power on earth—that the odds are fearfully against them. England only expects every man to his du ty; then why should we expect one man to do six men's duty. Until we can concentrate atone point a force equal to auv that the Yankees c m send against it, and ourselves take the offensive, we cannot expect any thing more than has •'cretofore been accom plished. By all means let us abandon the scat tering policy; and if we have any more such vessels as the Morgan. Gaines and Selma let them be sold, given away, burned—anything to be rid of them at once. In the name off- mercy, let al I such floating slaughter houses be abandoned. It is unfair to demand of men that they risk their lives in such traps, with boilers, engines and mag azines exposed to an enemy’s tire. Itcv. Si. If. ISi-onks’ School.

She has plenty to do in the kitchen. All tUe rest of the house 1 run. To be sure things look a little nasty and slovenly, but what of it ? I can do as I please. I go to tlie saloon.; drink beer; play draw poker ; romp with tlie servant girl ; thrash the young ones; wear dirty shirts; smoke a a e in tlie parlor ; hang my hut on the floor ; spit «ccojuice outlie hearth ; go to bed witti my boots on ; go to’dance and home with the girls ; play seven up with my oldest hoy, and do just as I please.

One policeman is allowed for each 500 negroes in .each county. All men between 55 and 60, able torideynd carry a gun. are to act as a police force in their respective counties. The Aids de Camp are spe cially instructed to order them upon this duty, and any man between these ages able for service, who refuses, wiil he sent to the front.. They are to ride all through the county, confining them selves to. no particular district or plantation, and are to give their whote time to this business. As they can sleep in houses at night, they can do this, dirty, vyhen they would not be fit for other military service. J hey will visit the plantations, correct insubordinate negroes, and do all in their power to protect property- and preserve order. It is believed there are but few counties in the State,- in which there are not in the county, one man able for service for each 500 negroes. If there should not he that number in any county, the Inferior Fourt will recommend for detail a number of men subject to the late call sufficient to make up the deficiency. .These should be select ed from such overseers and others as have most control over the negroes. The recommendations of the courts must be sent to these headquarters, where they will be allowed, if the evidence of de ficiency in the number of old men is satisfactory:* The court must accompany the application for the detail by a certificate, giving the following facts. 1st. The uumher of slaves in the county! 2d, The number and names of the old men be tween 55 and (30 in the comity, with the name of each, who is too feeble to ri.de through the county. 3d. The names of the persons recommended by the courts to make np the deficiency, if any. All details granted ty the courts without an order from these headquarters, are void, «nd will be so treat*! by all Aids d**-Camp and other State offi cers who will send all sucli detailed men to the front immediately. As tbe late interruption in the Railroad trans portation may have caused some of 'the militia who had started to Macon to return home.for want of transportation all such are required to press forward to Macon without delay, as the channels of communication will be open again in a day or two. All officers at home will exercise great^ energy in sending all men subject to the call forward promptly, under arrest when necessary. henry c wayne, 12 It Adjt. & Insp.
