The Cnti*c v* the Leader.
It is not strange that men, in the whirl of a Rev
olution, should associate the herd of the Govern*
ment with the cause in behalf of which the Revo-
Intion began. It is natural that men should be
strongly attacbod to their leader in any great Rev
olution. unless he proves a traitor to the cause in
behalf of which the Revolution was initiated. Bu^
men are only human. One man cannot be infalli
ble. If President Davis when lie took the oath of
office had said, my countrymen, you have fixed od
me as the head of your Government, and by your
act yon have invested me with the powers of a
- Monarch, and in no case, can you, during (lie pro
gress of the Revolution, question my abso'uleatu
thority, what would Itavo been thought of him?
Would not the popular response have beon, “Mr.
Davis, you are our agent: in your hands wo lihve
reposed a great trust: if you so discharge the re
sponses duttes of the important office, to which
the people have called you, tee shall rejoice, and
your name shall descend to the latest of our pos
terity as wortlfy of all honorable praise. But
suppose the people, (not your personal or poli'i- j
cal enemies, Mr Davis) thould pause in the whirl
of the Revolution, and demand a different policy
from that which had characterized the operations
of the Government, since its installation into be
ing? Shall not the people be heard? Is the crea
ture greater than the creator? Who is President |
Davis, and who is Gov. Brown, or Gen. Lee, or
Gen. Cobb, or any other official born of the Con
stitution and laws of the Government? They are
only agents—the fiduciaries of a trust: Suppose they
err in the management of the trust confided to their
keeping shall every man shut his eyes,and his ears,
and hold his tongue, because some men may say’,
that it would be impolitic tv tel!
the President made serious mistak
friends admit he has. He cannot therefore be in
faille. If he has made mistakes, may not those
mistakes bethecausa of our ruin? Shall we", as a
people, having at stake our lives, our fortunes
and our sacred honor, remain silent in the very
crisis of the Country's life? Certainly not. No
man, in his private transactions, would continue j 8 ® riptl .°| 1 "
to employ aa agent to transact his business, or a J
physician to attend Lis family, who had failed to
discharge the trustreposed in them. It is time to

ted, excited and delirious. In this highly mesmeric
state, they have performed many antics as unbe
coming as they were unworthy of their position.
In these highly ludicrous performances, the Sa
vannah Republican has generally taken the lead,
and the Macon Telegraph has played second fid
dle: but as the organ of the Republican is now
out of time, the Telegraph has consented to take
the lead, and bids fair to rival its illustrious pre
decessor. Like him, the Telegraph cavorts, rears
aud pitches, blushes, pities, feels ashamed, and
finally goes into fits over the message. If we
could approach our unfortunate brother of the
Telegraph in one of his lucid moments, if*he has

liberties ot the people, comes in for the larges!

the opponents of the Governor, usually wind np
their stribg of abuse !>y declaring that they are in
favor of obliterating State lines and placing the
power in the hands of one or more men to carry
this war to a successful termination. Now the
Governor is as anxious, as any man in the Confed
eracy, to briug the war to a successful termination,
but he does not think that is the way to do it.—
He thinks wo ought to whip the Yankees and pre
serve the rights and liberties of the people too,
and in his recent message he tells bow this may
be done. But he cannot see how our cause will

If the members of the Legislature do not be- !

We have a variety of ruunors from Sbermnn’s move

A Nnggrntsnn.
We copy from the Constitutionalist an able ar
ticle in opposition to the Conscript system. The
writer has failed to notice one of the strongest
reasons for the repeal of the Act. Tho law has
filled the country with thousands of deserters.—
These men are doing more harm to the material
wealth of the country than so many of the enemy
conld do. They are plundering," robbing,, and
murdering our citizens. They have to rteal to
live, and to steal they sometimes have to com
mit murder. A repeal of the Conscript Ac’
would bring in all these men, or the most of them!
from the thickets and swamps ; and if they did
not go in the Army, they would go to work, and
become producers. They are now the very worst
class of consumers,
it is believed by inr.ny. that lie is sti iking directly for
Richmond, by way of Danville. A *cp„rt i* current
that Gen. Lee has evacuated his works at I'efer.-fcr.rg.
and is moving a force down to meet Sherman. We
know that Gen. Lee will dot lie.stili and let Shennau
get possession ef Danville. He will, dpuktless. leave
n fore * at Richmond, f-lrong enough to hold its de
ft nets, while lie moves off with the larger part of his
army to attack Shennan.

The l»e»t 9Is*eary of llic War.
The best history of the present war that has been,

found in the newspapers of the Confederacy. Any
man who has a complete file of any good newspaper
that has beeu published uninterruptedly duriug the
War, lias the best and most complete history of tho
Revolution that will ever bo written. He owns an
invaluable piece of property, which will serve to tench
his children not only the great events that occurred in
the progress of this unparalleled War, but to afford
them a narrative more intensely interesting than any
romance that was ever written. And yet how little

people against the Governor. Here is an instance:—
! In the issue of the 23d inst he says, speaking of tho
| Message, “but he ays nothing-of the several flue plan-
■ tations he has made by speculating since the inception
j of the.-'War, together with a half interest in tho Mill-
1 edgcville Factory, which the Yankees loft standing
1 because .Joe Brown owned an interest in it.”
I As to I lie plantation matter, we doubt not Gov.
i Brown made his money to buy them quite as honestly
j ns J. W. Fears, Merchant, did his to buy out the A!-
j lianv Patriot, which as a bomb proof was in high de-
I mnnd. If any soldier’s wile aud orphan children, ever
i suffered by Gov. Brown’s speculations during this
1 War, we have never, heard of the instance. Can
