Gen. Johnston Las been placed in command of
the forces at Charlotte, N. C. As the officers of
the army of Tennessee Lave been ordered to re
port to him, wn conclude he has been plr.cod in
command of the Army of Tennessee. The whole
country will rejoice to hear this good news.

Gen. Cobb, by order ot Gen. Beauregard lias
issued an order, requiring all soldiers belonging to
the army of Northern Virginia, who are at home
on furlough, otherwise, to report to him at Col

Consrriplion nni! Hjm-cuIuIioii.
Conscription and Speculation are the twin sif
ters from whose prolific w omb have issued all our
woes. The one lias nearly ruined the Army, the
other has demoralized both the army and peo
ple.
Whatever may liavo been said in favor of the
conscript Act, originally, all agree note that the
act, as a Military measure, is a failure. It has
not brought men into the army, and it has kept
thousands out of it. No measure of furce can
make an army in these Confederate States. The
policy has had a fair trial, and it lias failed. Shall
it he tried further? That is the question. We
say not. Any other system may prove equally
abortive. But let it be tried. Let us see vvlietli-
et fnen will volunteer to fight for the independence
of the Confederacy, and the liberties of the peo
ple. If thpy will not, wo lose nothing by the ex
periment. There are tens of thousands of men
who ought to be in the service, who are not. 'Con
scription has failed to get them. Any other plan
cannot prove worse. Now. we say, give us .-fti-
otii*T trial. We have seen how things have work
ed under the volunteer system, and all was right:
let us try it again. If able bodied men
will not f.ght for the cause, the sooner we
know it thebetter. But we believe they will vol
unteer and fight. l Jf there has been a deserter from
any volunteer company that left this county, dur
ing the War, we do not know him,—we have nev
er heard of him. All the descTters, so far as our
information goea, are from conscripts. And it
would have been far bettir for the country, :
the county, that these conscripts had been per
mitted to stay at hotne.f They have destroy eJ
thousands of dollars of the property of our citi
zen*, and have never contributed a do lar to the
cause since they were mustered into service Let
the vplutrtcer system be tried. And if the States
cannot get their men in that way, let a draft ho or
dered. The men must come in under one or the
other system. But suppose we fail. We can be:
no worse off then than we are now. The deser-I
ters will have no longer a reason to hide in the
swamps and thickets, and will como home, some
to labor and others to go in the Army.
What shall we say of Speculation, that missha
pen monster who feeds on strong men’s groans
ami children’s tears? Can justice be done tlie
subject by any pen? This curse of the country i*
to be our ruin if we are overcome at last- It will
paralyze the energies of the people at home, and
unnerve the soldier's arm, so that both people and
army will be ripe for the conquerors sickle Is
there no way outside of legal enactments (for
they do no good) by which the evil can be miti
gated, if not entirely corrected? Is there no way
by which the producer and the consumer can ha
brought directly together, and the middle man, or
speculator, thrown out of the way? Producers
are in many eases speculators, but when they’ sell
to the middle man the consumer is double taxed
with the gains of beth the producer and the tra
der or speculator. If the patriotic and wealthy
people of the country would combine, in real ear
nest, they could do more to sfop speculation in
necessaries than any other agency. They must be
willing to give some money and some time to the
business cf purchasing and selling to tlie people
at cost ad'1 expenses. It will not do to g > about
such a matter in a lukewarm way. Let men take
hold like they were striking for life itself. Let
them use all their efforts and influence to kdep up
an association for the purchase of supplies If
this plan CAnnot be relied on, we invite any of our
rcalers to suggest a better. We tell them all this
solemn fast—Men, women atiJ children, will not
starve with plenty in the country. Where they
cannot buy they will take by force, and public,
sentiment will sustain them. If this monster -
rvil of speculation goes on in its present nncuibed
aud reckless race to ruin, the time will soon come
when might will make right, and anarchy and
bloodshed be the closing scene in the Revolution.
To put off the evil day, we appeal, not to men’s
patriotism, for tbeie is no spark of such a virtue
iu the heart of a man bent on coining money
outoT blood and tears and suffering—but we ap
peal to their fears, aye, to their fears,—to their self-
interest, and warn them to pause in the mad raco
for riches, and ask themselves the questions, am
I not sowing for others to reap? Will I be per
mitted to keep what I have made at such a tearful
sacrifice of my couutry’sand my neighbor's good?
And well may they pause. The soldier will have
a day of reckoning with the blood suckers of the
land—tho vampires who have paid nut, lied out,
dodged ont of the service iu order to speculate and
grow rich at the expense of the soldier and liis
family. Let the wretched speculators and extor
tioners beware. The last feather breaks the cam
el’s back.
>rgro<» for tlie Army.
As this question is engrossing much attention
from the Press and Congress, we propose to ghe
our views in brief. We are utterly opposed to the
propositiou. If it is done. Slavery is virtual!)
abolished in these Confederate States, and no
power, under Heaven, can ressurrect it. I ut them
in the Army, in auy capacity you please, bearing
the same relation to the white man they do now
(that is as servants.J and we shall offer no olj?c-
tion. Put them in as soldiers and the relation
of master and slave ceases. Because, if you do
not male the slave tie promise of his freedom, can
lie be kept in the service of his owner? Will be
not go where La can have better terms? It mat-
teis not, then, whether lie goes in the army as a
slave, or goes in wi:h a prospect of freedom, in
either case, the result is fatal to those vvno own
him. As cooks, as teamsters, and nurses—even
as sappers and miners with axes, and spades in
their hands, under the supervision of white men,
and we see no objection that can be offered a-
gainst the policy. If the Government, Confeder
ate aud State, would use its authority to remove
all tlie negroes fioin the vicinity ol the enemy,
thee conld be no such argument used in favor <>!
arming the negroes, As that, “if we do not use
them to fight for us, the enemy will use them a-
gainst us.” The authorities must interpose to take
the negroes out of the reach of the enemy. If
they do not, of course the enemy will get them,
and make soldiers of them. There is no strouger
blow that can be struck against the very structure
of uui political inatitutiono, than the 011c, propos
ed by some, to put the negro in the army as a sol
dier. At.anc tiier time we will discuss the sub
ject fuller. Our own mind is fully made up. We
only notice it at present to add our mite to the
weight of objection brought to bear against it.
Poor Cor Brown.
If we were compelled to decide whether Gov.
Brown was a traitor, a fool or a madman, by tho
evidence of liis enemies, we should ask permis
sion of the Court for further consultation and re
flection. Some call him a traitor, some a fool, Olli
ers a madman. Now, you man who would con
sign the Governor to the uncomfortable domicile
of Shadrick. Meslifck and Abednagc. and you
roan who would swing him up with Arnold the

to Dr. Green without a trial, suppose you hold
The l.rginlttlsrS.
This body lias, been hammering away at the Code,
a id altering county linfe, much of its present session.—
We see but few public and general matters acted upon.
Tne House Las passed s bill altering the mode of
electing Aldermen in this city—the elections hereafter
will be by ge»ieral ticket instead of by Wards, as for
merly.
A bill has passed the House extending the time of
redeeming the State Treasury notes, to Ma-cli 1st 1866.
Also a bill to exempt resident widows, who have sons
in the Army, from taxation on property under the valu
ation of A-MSMt. Also a bill to allow persons to distil
grain into spirits. Each head of a family is allowed to
distil five giiHous, and one gallon for each ten persons
in the family after the first ten are provided for. Tl.e
Senate paa-e.l a bill authorizing Adair's Exr’s &.C., to
pay debts against estates, with property at its value
in 1360. Also a bill increasing the pay of teachers of
poor children, to Tikis ft day. The House passed a
bill to increase tlie pay of Tax Collectors and Receiv
ers. Also to pardon Terry L. Cox, confined iu the
Penitentiary for the crime ol murder. A bill to tax
dogs was lost. (More of tlie demogogisin that has
characterized the legislation on this subject.) The
Senate passed a bilL increasing the fees of sheriffs
clerks, and jailors. 100 per cent, payable in Confederate
inouev. Also a bill to authorize the Governor to ap
point an agent in each county to attend to the distri
bution of tlie funds for the relief of indigent families
The Senate passed tlie following bills.
A bill to authorize the Judges to hold Superior Courts
at other pintles than county sites. _
A bill extending the time of receiving election re
turns from the army, to twenty days.
A bill to compel hotel keepers to give checks for
bag^vg", and make it p.-rial to rufuse to Ju so.
A bill to remit tax ou property destroyed by the
eUemy.
The House took up the following:
A resolution (reconsidered) in reference to the pay
ment of the members of the General Assembly. It
provides that they only be paid one Hollar per difm
in gold or silver or its equivalent, at the rate of thirty
for one, releasing the State from the payment of the
other five. The resolution was adopted. Yeas 03,
navs-V. The Senate did not concur.
The Committee appointed to examine into the Peni
tentiary, and report upon the same, made a report bv
resolution, and recommended that the question in re
gard to the abolition of the same, be left to future legis
lation. They propose that the remnants of damaged
property be sold, which would be sufficient to make
all repairs necessary—the sale to be made at public
outcry.

The
“Error craars so be dangerous when reason
is left free to cduibnt it.”
This maxim uttered by an illustrous statesman of the
b«-tt<-r days of the Republic, has been considered one
of the pillars of the democratic faith. From our boy
hood we have read it iu the political text books, and
then the soener we get Abe Lincoln appointed as j heard it a hundred times thundered from the forum
our Guardian, the better. But we contend the | and the huntings. It is a wise saying. How little re-

make a fuss about nothing. If Brown is a traitor,
« fool and a madman, Le stands no more chance to '
convert the people, of Georgia to liis notions, than
a new horn infant to catch the radiaifce o* a star
iu its tiny fingers. It's all nonsense to make such
a tempest in a teapot. Gov Brown is right, or he j
is wiong. If he is wrong, let the people tako ;
counsel together and put him out of office. If ha 1
is right, then all the abuse, and all the malignity
of his enemies will be as powerless against him, j
as would be a new bom babe against the coils of an
anaconda.

We have one consolation for our trnubles*np toward
Richmond. There i* a pretty fair prospect of Sher
man's catcliing our Congress. II he will just-let Rich
mond and Lee alone, be mnv have our Congress and
nothing to pay. A more useless concern never clogged
llie wheels of any inacl inc. It has been iu session for
three months, and wt have yet tost-- one thing it has
done for the good ■ if the country. The members of the
ernor
try exception of an editorial
review of the message, by the Columbus T imes, all the
criticisms pronounced upon the message by its oppo
nents. have beeu but tissues of dehnneiation and per
soual abuse of the Governor. If the Governor has not
stated facts he has told untruth*. If be hail not sta
ted facts, how easy it was to have proven his state
ments false. But his enemies do not use “reason” to
combat the “errors" they charge upon the Governor.—
They denounce him personally, and pass by iu silence
all the arguments of the message. Some Editors do
nut even publish the message, but trust to (heir wither
ing epithets to convince their readers of its dangerous
j heresies. Now, gentlemen, this mode* if warfare will
j not serve your purpose. Reading and reflecting men
j are accustomed to jnuke up their opinions by what
wwJ luow, l>-r what tber ale rvtit anil <tl-
i rented to believe. If you desire to combat tlie prin-*
ciplcs and policy of the message, come out nni] discuss
its merits and demerits in the spirit of men seeking only
■ tlio truth, and desiring ouly Hie triumph of right.

A mnjiMhy df the inunbeis of the Legislature
have refusal to the people decide whether they
will have a Convention or not. It is ce-taiu that
a very respectable portidti of the citizens of Geor
gia were anxious that a Convention of the people
j should be called. Everythirfg dear to freemen is
at stake, and they believed they bad a light to be
I heard. Whether a majority of the citizens of
Georgia are in favor of a Convention, ia yet un
certain. It was to settle that question, that tlm
resolutions of Judge Stephens and Mr. Adams of
Clarke, were proposed. They wished to leave the
’ question to a vote of the people, bnt a majority
1 of the Legislature refused to givo the people the
power to decide the question This was taking
from them one of their most sacred rights. A m/ .
; jority of the Legislature no doubt have mode the
I s imc mistake which other Legislatures have done.
! They havn mistaken the clamor of two or three
! newspapers who publish.“hy authority” for the
: voice of the people. If a majority of the people
' wp.nt a Convention, as we believe they do, the
| Legislators that voted against giving them a
i chance to decide that question for themselves,
have assumed a heavy responsibility, and if < nr
| military affairs are managed as badly tho next six
i months as they were the last, they will he made
tj feel the responsibility. We do not know why
members of th^ Legislature should fear to. trust
H«nor m wliaui honor-due.
Those who wr ro most opposed to trying nego
tiation, now admit that the sending ot Commis
sioners to treat with Lincoln on terms of pe;tce.
bos done great poed by arousing our people to
greater energy and uniting them, in a vigorous
prosecution of tho war. If all cf-these benefits
have arisen from the attempts at negotiation, to
whom arc we indebted for them ? Certainly to
thise men w ho first proposed negotiation, and
who, hy the pressure of public opinion, forced it
upon the Administration. To Gor. Brown and
those members of the Legislature who acted with
him, are we indebted for whatever of good hns
come flora negotiation. Not to those who opposed
and ridiculed negotiation as tha resort ot traiiors
and re-ecnstrnctionists, are we indebted for any
of these benefits,

t_« H The Macon Telegraph, a paper, whose Edi
tor has been but a short time a citizen of Georgia,
presumes to instruct the people of this State as to
their duty, touching Gov. Brown. As the people
of Georgia have four times chosen Gov. Brown as
thoir Chief Magistrate, and as Gov. Brown lias
been for many years a citizap of the State, we sug
gest lo the Editor of the Ttltgiaph and Confeder
ate, that he tarry awhile at Jericho, before ho en
ters upon the responsible position of preceptor to
• people who usually think and act for themselves,
aud who have but a slight acquaintance with
Jiim, ’
! j e, especially, an mgood in mini, we don’t think | the people with their own affairs. There is no
danger of their doing anything to Injure them
selves, at.d they cettainly ought to know
their own interest. They are, in every couulry,
the great conservators of Liberty, aud are dan
gerous only to tyrants.
tie !ii-ar" n srrnl ilcnl tSint ia not trn -.
The Editor of the Albany Patriot says, be hrs
h'ard that Governor Brown has been buying cot
ton Larurr^v for himself. That man certainly^iears
and publishes many things about Gov. Brown
which arc not true; and when he finds out tfcey
am false, be does not correct bis errors. He heard
and published a report that the Governor had sent
a Commissioner to the North to treat with that
i government, or people. This was all false; but
we have seen no correction yf it in that paper —
He heard and published that the Governor sent
other boys into the trenches, but kept his own
son out. This was known to bo false; but he did
not correct it. He heard aud published that
that Governor Brown owned a part in the Mil
ledgeville Factory. This was false from begin
ning to eud; but ho lias not corrected it. Dors
tho Editor really believe that a lie well stuck to
is as good as the truth ?
t COMMUNICATED.]
l\Jrssrs. Editors : The man who writes the Ed
itorials for the Macon Telegraph, has within a few
days, made some very important discoveries for
which he should have tlie credit of being the first
discoverer. He has discovered that Gov. Brawn
encourages our soldiers to desert, and that he ard
ail who agree with him on the subject of a Conven
tion or tho people, are traitors. lie has discovered
that Judge Stephens is a very poor speaker. And
worst of ad, he has discovered that the precepts of
t/.c jYeic Testament are not binding or ,f good au
thority in time ot mar. Such an array of impor
tant new discoveries has not pei haps flashed up
on the woiId since tho days of Columbus. Can
you tell us who this genius is ; where he come
from, and upon what food ho feeds, that he
has grown so fast? Is I10 on post duty, or does
lie occupy one of the President’s bomb-proofs ?
OBSERVER.
We are as much in the dark on this subject as
Observer, and can’t answer any of his questions.

Fora week ths water has been eo high Hint tl.e

innumerable, were halted among*- us, for the space of

bnrtful. Wehopctli ? po::‘-»on bridg-s will be ert-mn-d

If there isnriv “wayfaring uinn, though a fool” among
the renders of tlie Reporter, lie may “err” very se
riously if he takes the Reporter's version of the Gov
ernor's Message, without reading the Message for him
self. When Jjd the Reporter place his Excellency “on
the record” ? Has he published the Message ? Why
did he not put-his Excellei.ey on the record ? When
men are told by an Editor Hint a public document is
wicked and hurtful, the Editor should give his read-us
an opportunity to judge for themselves. Editors aud
readers do not alwnys agree, ns we think would bo the
case of the Reporter, if he should put liis Excellency
ou tlie record iu his own column--.
A Flash in the Pnn.
When the Editor of the Macon Telegranh enm-
p ire.l himself to Abo Lincoln as a Joker, bo mado
a Hash in the pun. lie may be like Lincoln in
many things, but in telling jokes, be lacks two
essential elements of n good Joker: wit and orig-
inality, both of which Lincoln possesses. Lin
coln’s jokes arc rich, racy and original; his, stale,
flat and flashy. Lincoln's Juki* excite mirth and
laughter; his, pity fir their author.
