Even the fur loughs promised them were not allowed. And ministers of religion who made a contract with the Government to serve for one year, and c*hers who agreed to to serve three years m the ranks, are held after the expiration of their time, when they would be embraced in the exemption act, which protects those at home, if tiie Government Imd kept its faith and discharged the In according to tlie contract.

At the commencement of the special session of the Legislature which has but just closed, Gov. Brown in his message gave the Legislature and the people of Georgia a glimpse of the situation of the whole Confederacy 1 his statement of facts was necessarily gloomy and discouraging, and in this hour of peril to the country, ho ad vised that a Convention of the people be called, that they, whose lives, liberty and property were at stake, might advise what was best to be done.— When the Governoi’s message was published, those men who live upon the patronage and enjoy the special favors of the President, were very in dignant. Thev immediately declared the Govern or a traitor for having taken such a gloomy and discouraging view of our national affairs; said his message was calculated to discourage our people and make our soldiers desert, and that the Gov- ans j ernor ought to he hanged as a tory. In a few anything, it is intended to mean that the call was | weeks President Davis sent to Congress a special made on me for the troops to servo for the tear, j mesg;! <re In which he takes a more gloomy view of with obligation as the glnerale rule, to do service I, " b ]j c a {f a i r8 than Gov.

Gov. l>rown as we termined to keep him in liis place during tJi9 w*ai* if he will consent ’,o serve them. The l{**cordei bad as well be patient and submit as gracefully is he can to the wishes of the people. The Re corder wishes to know how many men are exempt from military service by State authority. We can inform the Recorder at one; that there is not one- Urnd a* many pxernpt by State authority a * there i« by the President. He has abused that powei until Congress could uo longer trust him w ith it and thev have by solemn act taken it from him. We notice t'iat our friend of the Columbus Times is informed that Gov. Brown does not in tend to inn again, and the Editor kindJy pi*#inij“s if he docs not that his administration will not be assailed by his successor, A c. This is very dir ferent from the views of the Recorder; he warm the Governor defeated in order that his adminis tration may he assailed. We do not know upon what authority the Times makes this statement •We have not heard that the Governor has express ed any deterinT.ation about being a candidate for another term. We do not know that he wishes it, but we feel satisiied from the reports we hear from different parts of the State, that a very large majority of the people wish his services and we feel it is their right to have them whilst these perilous times last. We have no doubt the Gov ernor will duiy appreciate the kindness of th** Editor of the Times exhibited in his anxiety to relieve him from the harrassing and distracting cares of office so graphically depicted in his edito rial. It will no doubt, however, appear strange to the Governor as it does to us, that th** Editor of tho Times should feel willing to heap upon the devoted head of one of his neighbors and friends all of these evils from which he is so anxious to relieve the Governor. ■ I— O !■■■ “Truth ia ami will prevail.” The power and durability of Truth has not only been the theme of poets and sages, but has re ceived the sanction of holy writ. Good men and wicked men both believe in the power of truth. On that account the former try by every’ honest means in their power to circulate and spread the truth among the people, whilst the latter endeav or to suppress it. The frienos and ’the enemies of Gov. Brown both believe in the power of trnth. and this is the reason why his friends try to circu late his Message and his correspondence with the Secretary of War among the people, and why his enemies are so very anxious to keep both of these documents from the people. We are receiving applications for these documents from various parts of tho State and from tho army, and corn plaining that they are suppressed and kept from the people. To answer these demands, we are publishing a large edition of the Message and the ate time, a volunteer force organized under the law lor local defense and special service, ot at least au **qnal number, be mustered ;md reported as subject to his call for service within your State. 'This does not lock much as if" the call was ninde i for troops for the. irar'. Was it for troops to serve • as a general rule throughout the StateT 1 quote Iron 1 have seer, proposed to refer the whole matter to a convention of the people. The President propo ses that Congress suspend the writ ef Habeas Corpus, abolish all class exemptions, and 1* ave hi:;; to decide v.-lm shall be allowed to publish a newspaper, to preach the gospel, to doctor the of the enemy.

Tlie authoress is, or was, nu unhappy woman or marriage, else her “Confessions” had not been made. Why. or wherefore, we are silent, because ignorant.— V. h ippy woman would never have opened to the world ; hat inner sanctuary of the heart's most sacred adora tion. A married woman who can find time to carry on all the “flirtations” which “Mrs Edward Leigh” tells us she indulged in. cannot be happy at home. -titlier cares nothing for her husband, or he cares noth ing lor her. If the latter be the case, upon this ground •done, will any mercy be extended these “Confes sions.” Ifshe ha tied to some “heavy” man, some clodhopper who cannot appreciate a woman of spirit and ambition, but who leaves her, in seeking pursuits that give him pleasure, to seek and choose her own, then she inay be excused a little bit for bringing bStore the public gaze transactions ofn private nature. “Mrs E lward Leigh” certainly managed her gentle- meu admirers with great adroitness—but we question if any of them, save one or two” will ever return to graze in those green pastures of pleasure, provided they recognise themselves in the “mirror” as readily Pg their neighbors do. But. again we are led to inquire-, what was tlie B-mk written for ? If as au act of pub lic penitence, that was not necessary. The good Book does not d -main! of sinners a public confession of sorrow, and pledge o r repentance : the closet is the proper place t-sr that. Was it written for revenge 1— Who will be benefitted ? Certainly not her male or female detractors. Was it written to show the wor’d bow imprudent a lady can be, yet be guilty of no criini. □a! act ? The experiment is fraught with danger, and v dozen might fall where one walks securely. Was it w.iiten to discourage matrimony ? If so, there was no necessity n> waste time and paper to do that. The Apostle Paul, could he write a Book, to-day, of Morals, against marriage, would not deter men and women from “committing matrimony,” when they feel in tlie humor. Was it written for lack of some thing to do? Were there no stockings to be knit, or small clothes to be made, for “little feet dancing over rhe floor,” or no sweetmeats to be conjured up for the mouths that had been singing “I want to be an An gel Surely such an intelligent ludy as “Mrs Edward Leigh” could find employment for her idle Lours in studying the Beauties of Literature, or the -ccoinplish- •nents of Miss Leslie. We cheerfully accord to the correspondence on purpose for the people, and } authoress candor, truthfulness, penitence. We even will sell- them for barely the cost of laboi* and I admit s!

Brown is “fixing” to run lor v i ve.oor, again. Every time lie has run, tiere- tofore, he has been fortunate in having some side issue, upon which he has been elected . lie has always avoided making a direct issue with the administration.

This is just as we would have it. \Ve wish the issue made distinctly, and plainly, so that there may be no mistake. Pr. Davis stands for the Confed* racy, and Gov.
