Mr. Hill makes the assertion iu his speech at
Lagrange, hut Mr. Hill ’* i« the habit of mak.ng
asst ttions without any foundation for them to

Seward or Lincoln are very reliable witnesses when
they testify against any of our statesmen, but h
they i"e good against Gov. Brown as Mr. Hib
seems to think, they ate also good against Presi
dent Davis. In a late number of the New York
Tribune, it is stated that ; f “President Davis had
been bribed to write a Message on purpose to dis
courage the rebels and to encourage the friends
of the Union every where, he could not have
written anything better for that purpose than his
late special Message to Congress.’ t"0 the friends
of the President had better keep Greely out of
court lest he may prove too much. We have nev
er seen anything from Greely which proved that
Gov. Brown had j^ven them any comfort, but all
such assertions came from some of our own peo
pie. When a man. is very anxious to testify
against another, and what is tailed a swift wit
nc-ss, it is right to examine into his character and
motives- Mr. Hill we believe is not considered
a very reliable politician. He frequently tries, it
is said, to be on both sides of important questions'
until lie can discover which side is most popular.
The people have r.ot yet forgotten Ins peculiar
tactics on the conscription law nor the scathing
rebuke he received in the Senate from Mr. \ancy
on that subject. It appears^he dodged the ques

here and made a speech in favor of conscription.

Messrs. Editors,
Your criticism last week on the “Confessions of a i
Flirt" induced me to read the book, and i have come j
to the conclusion that yen Jjtlie writer (unintentional
iy no doubt i some injustice. You cannot perceive any
laudable reasou for presetitiug to the world those ex
periences which made up t* e staple ol *be book. Tin-
authoressgives.tts I conceive, the true reason, viz. t-
warn others of her sex from pursuing the same ghldft
heartless and dangerous road. It is impossible for one
(.as I am) wholly unacquainted with the writer or any
ot-those real characters who (as she says in the pie
face) figure under.sli/lit disguises, to snv howmnen ol
those experiences are truth anil how much fiction. To
my mind, far the greater portion appears to be fiction.
If I could dare to trespass on ) our time and new-
paper space, I could point out at least titty paaange*
constituting the very strongest internal evidence that
the book is mainly' fiction, whatever maybe said in
the preface to the contrary. That the characters were
suggested in some instances by real persons, I do not
doulu. The principal characters in all woi ks of fiction

When Gov. Brown’s message appeart
r mies cried cut “treason
hang him, some bury him in the grave with
John Brown. But all with one accord exclaimed*
how imprudent in the Governor to say things that
would cause desertion, and encourage our tni my
to persist in his efforts to subjugate us! Ail these
toadies of the President seemed to forget how im-
I rudent the Piesident Lad been in his Macon
speech. But it w as not long before President
Davis sends a special message to Congress in
which bespeaks very candidly of the dangers that
beset the Country, and says very many things
that will do mere to discourage our own people
and encourage our enemy, thau anything Gov.
Brown evei wrote. But it seems that was not
enough to satisfy the satellites of the Piesident-
Mr. Ben Hill, who had belter been at Lis post look
ing after the interest of the Country, must come
to Georgia and mount the stump to show the peo
ple how far he could surpass botlifresidcnt Davis
and Gov. Brown in saying discouraging things
about our condition. The difference betweeu Ben
Hill and the Gov. is, that the latter only stated
facts, while the former makes the grossest mis
statements. Here is one of Ben Hill's slan
ders:
“Burdens have been heavy, and must be heavier.
The recreauts, even now, are as two to the faith
ful one: and the first will increase, and the latter
diminish.’>
What is a recreant’ The Columbus Sun gives
the definition as follows: “a mean spirited, cew-
. ardly wretch, one who yields in combat and cries
for mercy.*’ Ben Hill says tiro thirds of the peo
ple of the Confederacy are “cowardly wretches.” I
r-ady to give up to the Yankees. The President i
says two thirds of tlie armies are absent without |
leave, and his man Friday, Tliil, declares that two.
thirds of the people are “cowardly wretches.’’
Now, what could any man, in high position, say, j
more damaging to our cause, than the above’ It,
will be a sweet motsel for Greeley and b'ewara to j
roll under their tongues. Had Gov. Brown said
the same. Ben Hill would h%ve denounud it as-J
“poison” and hurried tff to apply his anti- 1
dote!
But let Ben Hifl speak again: here is another
dose of “poison ” Ben says:
“We have native traitors and immigrant spies
in our midst holding high offices ami editing our
paperd! and adroitly, earnestly, sewing the seeds
oMiisaffection and disunion among out people:
and tliesa traitors and spies v,ill increase in nuir
hers and boldness ”
Of course Ben means such men as Gov. Brown,
and Vice President Stephens, when lie uses the
words “native traitors," “holding high offices."
These gentlemen need no defence against such a
notorious trickster and defamer as Ben Hill. But j
how considerate and consistent in Ben Hill to !
K
abuse Gov. Brown for telling truths, unpleasant !
though they were, w hile he publicly declares to
t ie enemyatid to the world that our -‘high ofii !
ces” are tilled by “native traitors", and our ne w j
papers edited by ‘'immigrant spies,” who -‘will j
in-rea-e in numbers and boldness." Naughty
boy, Ben! to have told such tales out of school ;
It is “monstrous” for Gov. Brown io-state unplens- ;
ant truths in a public message to the Represents- j
lives of the people, but it is all right for President
Davis to do the same thing and for Ben Hill to I
of authorship. As a warning to her sex, if read in th
spirit the authoress intends, it cannot fail to exercise
« beiuffieutl influence. Her style is agreeable, the
characters well drawn, and Ihe touching pathos ol
aunt Tabithn’s -flirtation evinces serious powers of n
high order in the writer's mind. J. Ik
Editors of THK CoxrF.nF.RATF. Union.-'—Firs:
I notice in your paper of this week quite a long
criticism on “Confessions of a Flirt. ’ Don’t you
von think you spent too much time oil it,—a mere
pamphlet, and that too, written by a woman? As
I am not a scandal-monger (although I live in this
community, and am a female) f do not take otic
particlo of that chapter rebuking our sex t-i mv-
sell. The rest of the hook reminds nte very much
of my yonns days, and I ha'e, therefore,, for Mrs.
Leigh, a fellow-feeling; and hence, with (or with
out j your permission, I attempt a woman's de
fence of one of her sisters.
On reading the preface, I immediately came to the
conclusion that the book is nothing but fiction.
Why? Because the writer says it is tiur. The
characters are natural, and can find tin ir originals

Let me try to answer your question, “What
was the book writtes for”? Certainly not as an act
of public penitence, for who ever saw a woman,
however sorry she may be for youthful follies,
ready to confess them? Was it written for revenge?
No. Who will be benefitted? Her purse. Was it
written to show how imprudent K lady can be,
yet guilty of no criminal act? I agree with you
in saying that was not necessary for every wo-
j man liastriecl P at experiment. It certainly was
not written to discourage matrimony, else the last
picture of the married life of Ella Leigh would
not have been so paradisiacal. “Was it for the
lack of something to do?” Perhaps it was. I
rather think she was in the same predicament in
which I am now, with nothing to nqake “small
clothes” of. And as for “knitting,” she could
write ten books while she was knitting one sock,
it she is like me. “Sweetmeats”! Why. my
friends, don't you know that nobody nowadays is
rich enough to buy sugar tor sweetmeats except
Quartermasters, Commissaries, Doctors, and
Printers! Who has use for “Miss Leslie" in these

of a!! honest men who value the liberties of the people
and independence oflheir country.
While it 1ms ever been onr pleasure to sustain the
President wherever and whenever we could consist
ently with onr ideas of propriety, we have never yet
been able to perceive the hcinoiionoss of the offence
of differing in onimoh with Him on other questions.—
We have lived tnroughout the Administration* of sev
eral Presidents in the old Republic, and cannot remem
ber any one with whom we or any ether lamest man
ever Hgtced in ail things-we never expert to see such
a Pro- idtnt. Ni*r do we remember that nny man's
patriotism was. ever called fh question because lie
happened lo differ with the President, until within the
past veer or two. It is a new idea, and one well wor

however, suit the latitude where it is so.iglg to be im
planted. The People are not such dolt* and fools as
to be deceived by the miserable clap-trap of men whose,
ideas have never expanded beyond tlie limited circle
of i*airrv : but. like a blhid horse in a bark mil!, pursue
the.r a'lotted round, perfectly unconscious and indiffer

thousands of the glorious patriots in very distress
ing circumstances. Many of them had tom up
their blakets and tied them on their limbs in the
stead of pants, wliicn they had not. Many had
no shoes or socks, and had tied tip their feet with
rags, pieces of blankets, etc., using the lark ot
trees or twisting up swdmp grass to tie cn these
coverings for their feet. This is the vyay our men
are doing, this is what they are suffering for the
cause of liberty and independence.
The General succeeded in relieving the wants of
almost every needy Georgian in the army find
many wore the blessings bestowed upon him for
his energy and the kind iutercst lie was manifes
ting in the welfare and comfoit of our brave and
true men, blit particularly upon the State by these
noble sons of hers, for her munificence and consid
