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.

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.

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.
