elit-to those ot the Georgia Militia who have been
the teceipients thereof. The Governor, however,
has thought proper to interpose, and interdict the
further pursuance of a policy that has worked sc j
advantageously to the sick and wounded of the j
Georgia Militia, that have been, and are now in !
the Hospitals,and t! at would wotk well for those ■
who may yet bo sent to them. But calumny has !
her n busy, and the Governor, acting upon tin i
principle, we presume, illustrated iu the saying
that "Ceasar’s wile must he beyoud suspicion,’ (
has vetoed a practice which Las done no one any I
injury, and our sick ami wounded militia men in j
the hospitals, great good. And so the bittei
tongue of slander always works. Let those who
have indulged in its use not liatter themselves
with the thought teat they have accomplished
ought than the depriving our sick and wouuded ot
many allt utioiis aim comforts they would other
wise receive! The Medical Director, and the
Boaud over wlrch he presides, show by the ex
iiii.it made in the following Correspondence, that
they aie beyond the reach of the shafts directed at
them by those whose disposition itistochaige
corruption upon officials, upon the merest hearsay,
and without any knowledge of facts upon which
to base the reports they either originate, or ln-ai
to c.rculate. When they read the following
j correspondence, they may well bang their heads
' in shame.
t.and replied, in addition, that he was not oftiy
able and willing, but desirous of contributing ti
the telief of uur brave defenders in our hospitals;
ind that he would either furnish the negro, with
the supplies. Ate. or, if preferred, he would con
tribute in lieu thereof an equivalent in money,.for
the use of the sick and wouuded in the hospital.—
Believing that there would lie. as in fact then,
was, an excess of negroes, I accept! d the prefer
red handsome donation of tSflMJO. And this was
the inauguration of the symtein of contributions to
the hoard. I do not pretend to give the precise
words of Mr. Austin, hut believe I have stated sub
stantially what he said. He was entitled, f. om
his extreme debility, to au unconditional dis
charge, butpreferred to he assigned-to light duty,
responding to that assignment iu the tnanuer spec
ified. If there is any wrong in allowing this, I
alone am responsible for it. A day or two after
tins I li-ft Macon for Milledgeville, ou my way to
my home, in Columbia county. On parting with
.ho Board I stated to them they could continue
i he. policy of accepting negro nurses, in lieu of the
personal services of men assigned to light duty.—
On returning to the Board I was informed that
the men who had been discharged, unconditional
ly, had, in many instances, come forward of their I
own accord, and freely donated sums of money, j
for the use of that hospital, ranking according to j
their ability or inclination, from >'20 to $15^0 j
each. '1 hese contributions have been forwarded j
from time to time, to Dr. Massey. The $1000
handed me by Mr. Austin I promptly turned over !
also to Dr. Massey, to he used for the benefit of J
the hospital.

to fifty-five - T he middle class comprized men, in
most cast s, broken down in the Confederate ser

home ties, identifying their own with the best in

They were a citizen Soldiery, called out for the
emergency (o serve for the defense of and within
their own Slate, aud amongst th ir own families

either that the force was composed of tlie material

Confederate Hospitals are subjected, or that, in
fact, in their case, it was necessaiy. Wilh these

To use his his own word, he referred this depart

ever necessary, to use'Tns name.
When therefore the men reported under the last

the nurses, and of the efficient working of this

in Brown Hospital, to bear witness This policy,
permit me to say, was also the subject of marked
approval by the gentlemen composing the Exam

S ' Some few days after tlie Board had entered
upon its labors, a Mr. Austin, from Columbus, and
I think a refugee from Florida, presented himself
for examination A casual observer even, would
at once have pronounced him unfit for any milita
ry duty He said he did uot wan* to be duoltarg
e'd in full, for that he thought it his duty, aud the
imperative duty of every man, to help the great
cause, in some way. That if he was not called to
the trenches, there were other ways ir; wh.ch he
conld serve his country in her hour of penl. I
mentioned my policy of allowing substitution o.
service, of negroes, for the persona sirviceso
the assigned men. Ha seemed to fully approve of
and wounded of Brown Hospital, and who, but for that
would have suffered.
Sima* writing ti e above I am informed hy a high
official in Brown Hospital tiiat one of the malingers of
the S out Hospital at Midway unable to obtain the
money due tiie Hospital by the Confederate Govern

tlie Mtteou examining board was advanced for the

that the benefit arising from this fend is uot confined
to the .State troops but also exteuded to the inmates of
a Confederate Hospital.

sonal ambition mixed up in tho movement of Se
cession, as there must generally he in the manage
ment of political affairs, yet I do not doubt-that it
was mainly determined hy an honest conviction in '
the niinds of these who engaged in it that the con
trol of the Government had passed permanently
j into the hands of a national party that would
soon trample on the political rights of the South.
The apprehension was shared iu l»y a very large
; portion of the people who did uot favor secession,
and who were so anxious for the preservation of
the Union that even coercive measures, iftemper-
; ed hy justice and mercy, would not have enstrang-
; ed them. Under these circumstances tlie use of
j military force to put down armed resistance wai
; not incompatible with a restoration of the Union
I with its former glories arid affections, provided
i the means were employed iu such a manner as to
; convince the peoplo that their constitutional rights
i would be respected. Such a policy, therefore, in
the use of force, if force must be resorted to, had
i the manifest advantage of weakening the power
i of the rebellion and, strengthening the Govern-
I uieut, independently of tho moral force which dig-
| nity and justice always lend to authority.
' A policy which recognized the principles wm
I wisely declared byCougress in the beginning of
the war; and from a fervent desire for the preser-
j vation of the Union in w Licit pride of country and
all my interests as a citizen centered, not less than
j from a natural impulse I gave that policy my earn
est support.
Unfortunately.it was too ofteu cheated of it*
due effect by the intrusion of sectional rancor,
aud the injudicious or unfaithful acts of^gents of
the Governmeut ; aud when, at the expiration of a
year, a system of spoliation and disfranchisement
was inaugurated, iL»c cause was robbed of its sanc
tity. and success rendered more difficult of attain
ment.
You have in these few lines an explanation of
the motives of my conduct while I was in com*
mand, as wjell as of the step which, after twenty-
three years of service, has closed my career as a
soldier, and broken up the professional habits
and associations to which I was educated and
in which I have passed the larger portions ot ■ ay
life. I am very tar from casting unfavorable re
flections upon the thousands who Hie in theser-.
vice, who, perhaps with views similar to my own,
have not chosen my course. Few of them have
been similarly situaied : and 1 rather commend
the patience with which they have struggled on
iu positions which must otherwise have been fill
ed by less scrupulous men, and in which they
might mitigate some of the calamities which tb*y
could not wholly pievent.
Very truly yours,
D. C. BUELL.

the Register, in the number, and size of its pages.
Its typography, aud all the other features which

one who desires to have, and preserve for binding,
the most useful of weeklies. . *
