Will the President, or Gen - Bragg, reinforce
Gen. Hood’s Army ? Gen. Johnston was removed
by President Davis, and Gen. Hood put in his
place. r I he Country understood, by this change
of’fcummanders of the Army of Tennessee, that
the President intended to hold up the hands of
Gen. Hood, and render him all the assistance that
the occasion demanded. Gen. Hood has befcn as
piwerless to prevent Sherman’s flanking opera
tions, as Gen. Johnston was. But i-e do not pro
pose to discuss the wisdom of the change of com
manders ofthe’Arniy of Tennessee, at tbis time.—
More serious and weighty matters press upon our [
attention. Sow that Gen. Ilood has fought, 10 ,
the best of his ability, *to defend Atlanta, and lost !
many thousand good troops, the question comes j
up. will the President re ir.force him, so that he may j
retake Atlanta, or at least prevent Sherman from
occupying the only remaining line of Kail Read
ommunication between the We«t and the Past ?

cy than the States of Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
sissippi, to say nothing of the Trans Mississippi
States 1 Will the possession of Richmond atone

I eral Johnston would not have found occasion for
j retreating, nr General Hood would ere this have
j hulled back the foe. Atlanta, so long as it was
i a safe site fur speculation, and extortion, and
mammon.worship, was thronged with men who
' could and should have gone to the front—as 60on
as danger approached, Atlanta was abandoned in
hot haste by tho street loungers and money
changers whose business was to depreciate Gen
eral Johnston and the currency. We have no
feais for Georgia or any other State invaded or
ilireatened : if her true sous will awake ;n earnest
to their duties, and onr Generals will learn the
me of the spaifc and the shovel, and mattock, and
the editors will cease clouding or befogging all
minds with ‘ situation’’ articles, and give the
truth pure and plain as far as propriety permits
utterance concerning military evicts and issues
[Charleston Courier.
Considering all the circumstances, this is a rare
specimen of ignorance or impudence. Every
man who knows anything about Georgia at this
time, knows that every man who is-liable to do
military duty, and mauy who are not liable, are in
the armies of the Confederacy or the State. Perhaps
in no other State or nation has the entire military
power of the people so nearly been put in requi
sition as fn Georgia at this time. Thousands who
on account of age or other infirmities are. unable
to endure the hardships of war have rallied to the
call of the Governor and are now confronting tlie
hosts of tho memy. Every time that tho soil of
South Carolina 1 ai been invaded, the enemy has
been met and drove back by Geotgians, and if all
tlie sons of Georgia who have left their State to
tight t he battles of the Confederacy were now in
: Georgia, and at her disposal, wo would ask no
i help (rom any quarter to drive the emmy from
i our. borders. But whilst the brave sons of Geor-
ttbcrutuu’n txcaci-nlship.
That Sherman is a greet Agger and a great flanker,
nil admit; but where lias ho displayed any but bad
generalship in the fi-flJ ? A lew days ngo he had an
opportunity to strike such a.blow on the army of Ten
nessee as would have nearly annihilated it. Gen.
Hood’s Army was cut in twain. One part above, ti e
other below', Sherman's.victorious host. Never had
a General such an opportunity to checkmate n:s adver
sary. Yet, what do we see? We see Gen. Ilooii’s
upper section quietly march round Sherman, and ei-
fect a junction with the lower section, without a gun
being fired at them! Th^ North is just now too
jubilant over the fall of Atlauta, to talk about anything
else. But we predict that, whpu the fever subsides,
the press will open their heaviest batteries on Sherman
for allowing Hood to escape, after lie was caught in a
trap. Mai kit: Sherman will be as badly abused as
any of their Generals who have failed to “crush out
the rebellion” at one blow.
Death of Gee. Morgan.
The great soldier was betrayed by a woman, at
whose, house he and his Staff were staying all
night. The woman, Mrs. Williams, got up in the
night, evaded the picket, rode to Bull’s Gap, and
piloted the enemy to her liou.se. In the at tempt to
escape Morgan was killed.
We learn that Judge Clark has ordered the
adjournment of Lee and Calhoun Courts, unlit
the “Courts in course.”

Gen. John II Morgan killed.
The telegraph this morning announces the
death of Gen. John H‘ Morgan, the Partziun, at
Greenville, in East Tennessee.
Diiring some months past this chieftain has
been almost idle, or at most., occupying a position
where little could be effected. — His command had
been dissipated and distributed to other leaders,
and the General’s operations thereby materially
curtailed. H is death will cast a thrill of sorrow over
the land,for the romance of the war had its embodi
ment, in his many strange and often successful
adventures.

determined to hold Richmond, at all hazards, and ,
to the last extremity : but it is by no mean^im-
possible for him to do this, and still save Georgia |
from the grasp of Sherman. Is tho experiment ;
not worth a trial ?
Georgia has troops enough in \ irgmia and I
South Carolina, who if brought upon their own
soil, would drive Sherman and his hordes over |

who have clone so much to defend the soil of Vir
ginia, and especially the city of Richmond, he
compelled to witness, in a distant land, tho subju
gation of their Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Wives
and Children, and fellbw citizens, because tlio
President considers the city of Richmond of more
importance than the security of tire great’Stateol’
Georgia ! Let the Press speak out. We are not
discussing political questions with the President;
but demand to know of the President if ho
intends to let (he Empire State of the South
die inglotiously. Her people reiterate the ques
tion in thunder tones.
Gov Brown has done all he eau do to aid the i
Army of Tennessee. He has done fir more than
be was expected, or even asked, to do. He has [ g]
sent old men fi.om their homes, and their oceupa- W
tions, to lie in thertrvnches, or if necessary, to |
fighr, side by- side, with the veteran Confederate
soldier. Georgia has done her whole duty in
this mighty Revolution ; and site asks nothing in
return but protection, when protection can be af
forded. Aside from her own peculiar self interest,
she asksj that the Cause of tiif. Confederacy
shall not be put in peril by the fatal policy of tho
National Administratiou. Georgia must not. die.
Jf she falls, along with her fall the great, and gal
lant States of Alabama and Mississippi. If to
save these States Richmond must fall, then we
Bay. perish llichmond.a hundred times.
But we do not believe tho fall of Richmond in
evitable, in the event reinforc«ni-nt.s are sent to
Georgia from Virginia. Both Ga. and Va. may
be saved.’f this is done. If it is not done, and
that speedily, Georgia will soon be as completely
under the heel of the oppiessor as Tennessee is to
day.

The Richmond Ernminer. alluding to tlie hap
py effect, on the Northern mind, of tlie late inva
sion of the enemy’s country, says, “it would be
prudent and wise to burn a few more towns in
Pennsylvania.’-’ We are of the opinion, tint the
best thing for our cause, at' present, would bo to
drive Gen. Sherman out of Georgia. It is folly to
be talking about burning towns in the enemy’s
country, when our largest inland city has been
captured by Sherman, is at present held by him,
and all Georgia threatened with occupation by the
hated foe. If Gen. Bragg has a man to spare; in
Virginia, beyond tho defeusc of the fortifications
at Richmond, let him be sent to Gen. Hood at the
earliest practicable moment. I£ Gen. Early can
not be sent to Georgia, let Gen. Longstrect, or
A. P. Hill, with a corps come along in double
quick time. We would prefer to have Early, be
cause he is skilled in tho same science, flankinr,
that Sherman practiced so successfully against
Johustou and Ilood Sherman must be flanked.
The Rail Road in his ; ar must be held by an in
fantry force, and Gen. 1 irly is the man to do tLo
work. Will Gen. Bragg let him come ? “A little

Almost home.
We have before ns a copy of the Hurt ford Post of
the 27th of August, in which we find considerable
boasting of the early crushing out oftlie rebellion. The
• Editor says, “We can almost see tlie promised land of
permanent peace.” He had not heard of (he full of
Atlanta at that time. Of course lie ran see the “prom
ised land” very plainly now. The Post lias extracts
from letters from Shermau’s, Burnside’s, and Foster’s
Annies, all expressing the utmost confidence
Chat the. rebellion cannot survive many days
longer. This may be whistling (o keep up. the cour
age ot the Lineoliiites, among whom the Post is prom
inent. But we think it well enough for our Military
authorities to stretch every nerve to meet the emer
gency. The draft at the North will Vie enforced, and
new Wies will be sent South in a few day«. j^re we

abuse Georgia, and lias no fears of the invader,
because Charleston is guarded by Georgia troops:
and whilst theoid and the young, the strong and
tlie feeble in Georgia are all in the armies of the
Confederacy or the State, the militia of South
Carolina aro enjoying their otium enm digr.itale
in their shops or on their plantations. If the Ed-
i itoraf the Charleston Courier is a fair specimen
of the South Carolinians of the p/esent day, we
j can say with the Psalmist of Israel, “How are
| the mighty fallen.”
The Season .of Oisnstcr.
I Jt is strange, but true, that all the disasters, of im
portance, that have befallen nur Armies, have occur
red in the Fall aud-Winter. No matter iunv brightly
the year opens for our cause, it has been invariably tlie
i case, that disasters come with the close oftlie year-
j We whip the enemy throughout, the Spring and Sum
mer. but it seems that we break down by Winter.
Why is this ? We are at a loss to account for the re
sult, unless it be owing to the fact that the Yankees
can boast more endurance and perseverance than we
Jiavc. They are not downcast when defeated. They
do not give up an object because they have failed
once or twice, or even a dozen time*. They display
more energy' after defeat, than after success.
The Season of disaster is again upon us. We be
lieve the present Fall an# Winter will prove an ex
ception to the general rule and that Sliermau will be
driven from the soil of Georgia before the 1st of De
cember. He must not - winter amofigst us. Gen.
Bragg must know that Gen. Lee's Army is supported
j from Georgia and Alabama, and that Richmond must
fail in the event oftlie loss of Macon and the central
line of communication through the State. Again we
sav, wake sip General Bragg, and do something
t. '
,!u«l lirgnn his Woili.
The Yankees are wasting a good deal of gunpowder
at the North, in r< joicingnver the full of Atlanta. Tlie
Herald goes into exstacies, and soys the victory has
put down the rebellion. It is our opinion tliat Sher
man has just entered upon the heavy part of his work.
If we have studied the people of Middle and Southern
Georgia aright, and if we do not greatly mistake, the
wisdom of President Davis, Sherman is yet destined to
meet a bloody defeat in central Georgia. Ilia very
confidence will yet bo his ruin. Before Georgia is
overrun and brought into subjection to Lincoln's
authority, her rivers will run red with Yankee blrod,
and the graves of her foes will billow the land from
the Savannah to the Chattahoochee. Let the people
be firm and true. A good time is coining as surely as
God reigns in Heaven.
Doings in Allanfa.
From public and private sources, we learn that
the Yankees, and a few of the citizens of Atlanta,
have, been having a ‘high old time” in the Gate
City*. We understand that, the Mayor, James M.
Calhoun, headed a Committee of ten or twelve
who went out to meet the Yankee General and
escort him into the city. There was a grand Ball
at the Trout House, at which Sharinan was
present, with some of his corps Command
ers. There were only a few white women
in attendance. It is said that many- female
“American citizens of African descent” were pres
ent and joined in the merry dance, “first upon tbe
'heel tap, then upon tbe toe.” We learn, from old
citizens of Atlauta, that every man in the city"
who has gone to tho Yankees, was kuown *o be
in sympathy with them long before the Federal
Army came into the JStato. Wouid better
things of Mayor Calhoun, and wo trust tba*
his position is
From the Front.
Our loss in the recent battles near Jonesboro’, it i 3
said, was greatly exaggerate 1. Two thousand iu
killed, wounded and prisoners, will cover onr entire
loss. The enemy, from being the attacking party, lost
more heavily. Gen. Hardee fought his corps with
great gallantry, and may be truly said to have saved
the Artny of Tennessee from destruction,
Sherman has fallen back to East Point, where he is
fortifying. lie is also fortiiying at Decatur, and re.
pairing the Georgia Kail Road. Northern accounts
state that Sherman’s Army needs rest, after 4 months
of Imrd marching and fighting. By the first of Octo
ber. it is said, he will be ready {o march Southward-
He will, no doubt, have large reinforcements in a few
weeks, and we hope that every effort will be made to
put Gen. Hood’s Army into a perfect condition of dis
cipline aud strength. -Every minute is valuable to usi
and as we use the time allowed us well or ill, will the
result of the next caiupnign bo glorious or disastrous
for Georgia aud the Confederacy.

Intelligencer.
in Important Decision by Judge Book.
Annexed we publish an important" decision by
Judgo Hook in a case of exemption by contract
with the Confederate Government:
David E- Gumming j)
vs. > Habeas Corpus.
Reuben Mayo. .j
The facts in this case show that the* petitioner
has been enrolled as a conscript, and exempted as
an overseer for twcjve months from tlie Confede
rate service upon the payment, of fire bundled
dollars; and that he relies upon this to exempt him
from wtrvice in the militia of the State. I have
already decided where a citizen is exempt from
Couf- de>ate, he is liable to State, military control.
But it is insisted that there is a necessary viola
tion oftlie contract involved in this case, in that,
the petitioner cannot perfoim his duty as overseer
and the paity who paid the five hundred dollars
does not get full compensation. Strictly speak
ing there is no violation of the contract, certainly
none, by the contracting parties themselves If
the sovereign Sta'te of Georgia sees fit tor the pub
lic good and safety in a great emergency to place
parties in a condition that they may not comply
with their contracts, eitl>er with individuals or
government, what legal authority can he produced
questioning her right so to act ?
Wlio will not saj' that the State may not com
mand tho military service of her citizens, even if
by so doing she interferes with contracts they
made ? How many thousand of noble and gallan t
spirits are now in the army that have had to forego
the privilege of complying with contracts they
had made with their fellow citizens or, (in sc’ine
case) w ith the government.
All feel that, the public yea tho national life de
mands it, and hence the common sense oftlie
people—proclaims it right. The emergency must
be first met, arid then all subordinate questions
will meet their proper solution in accordance with
the local principles which may control them.— ;
Bui concede, for the sake of argument, that there |
is a clear violation of contract in the case, yet the I
case rests and must turn upon high principles,
looking to the very existence of th State. The
safety of the State is of higher import and .signifi
cance than the private interests ot atiy individual
citizen. “Salus populi suprema Lex.” This great
principle is akin to anoth-r which in time of im
rninent peril sways and controls the actions of j
men. That principle is familiarly expressed in |
this wi«e “Self preservation is the first law of na- j
tore," and is a principle clearly recognized by all j
laws human ami divine. These principles were j
fully recognized by our Congress when they adop- |
ted the anti-substitute law, and by onr Courts I
when they affirmed the constitutionality of that
act.
I have (as before remarked in decisions recent
ly made) held that when a person is exempted
from Confederate, he is liable to State control;
and for the simple reason, that when exempted,
he is out of (for the time being) the military juris
diction of the Confederate government, and that
the State’s authority attaches as a necessary con
sequence. For if this be not true the monstrous
consequence might result, that a sovereign State, |

No sadcler task can be committed to the hand of
friendship than to record the death of one whom
we have long known and loved. We feel that
the grave has swallowed up a" material part of our
own existence and personal enjoyment, and that
henceforth we are daily to walk among assoeia-

have sustained. The conpanions of our boyhood,
one by one drop out of the throng in the thorough

A PROCLAMATION.
By Joseph E. Broun,
Governor of Georgia - .
The distracted condition of our country aaJ
the calamities which have befallen ns, are evidence
that our individual, and national transgressions
have provoked the displeasure ot Almighty God
who rules the destinies of nations and"states»s
w ell as ft! men- He is usiog fur oar chastisement
our wicked but powerful enemy who has overran
a large portion of the territory of our own state,
as well ns of the confederacy, and has. laid waste
or greatly damaged our cities, towns.-tillages .md
fields. God s word, however, is of pri'Uii*
that if we vyill turn from the error of owN^aj*
and humble ourselves before Him, and implore
His pardon for our sins as a people, and in our
aggregate capacity as a State, as well as in our
private character as individuals, will acknowledge
Him as Lord of Lords and King of Kings, he
wi 1 hear us in Heaveu, his lofty dwelling place,
and answer us iu peace. *
In the hope, therefore, in-this time of great
public calamity, if our whole people will unitTin
the name and through the merits of our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ, iu impl .riDg pardon ard
divine aid in our great struggle, that GotF vrill
hear tfs, will give victory to our arms, and bj
confounding the counsels of eur enemies, ar.d
causing terror and dismay in their ranks, will en
able us to triumph over them, and to dr>ve them
from the soil of our beloved 8tate. I issue this,
my Proclamation, setting apart THURSDAY, the
15th day of this present month, as a day of fasting,
humiliation and prayer. And I request that ail
secular employment be suspended on that day,
and that all business houses and public offices he
closed, and that the entire people of this Stale-
both male and female, do assemble at their respect
ive places of public worship, and .with all their
hearts aud all their souls, (hat they invoke the
favor and aid of Almighty God. And I especially
request the reverend clergy of all sects and de-
nominations, to attend and lead in religious ex
ercises appropriate to the occasion. I also most
respectfully request that General J. B. Ho-D. and
the army under his command, and alj other Con
federate and State officers and soldiers upon thj
soil of Gecfgia, unite with the people ot this
state iu the appropriate observance of the d«/-
tlie purposes above mentioned. Whilst our en
emies rely for success upon their superior n" m '
bers and-their great resources, if w> - will pi«^ e
our trust in the God of Israel, and do eur whole
duty towards him and to e-n/h other, the day 01
our deliverance will be near at band.
