The letter of Gov- Brown f • the Secve’ y of War which we publish to-day concludes the co*respOndence on the subject of a requisition- by the latter upon the former for the Reserved militia of Georgia. There are great questions and principles <’ : <cussed "i this co; es- poudeuce, with ability, and some spirit, on both sides We think the Governor has decidedly the advantage 'T the controversy, and p’l fair minded men will agree with us. The VIilitsiry going ahead. Some of our excbftges ]>ropose that the sol diers notr’nate a Governor. Tbe meaning of tP g is, that a few officers under the dictation of the President, shall nominate a Governor. This, is the way that Governors P r e. chosen in those Stales overrun by Lincoln’s army. A tew officers under his dictation nominate the .candidate and a few soldiers elect bim? A very rfis’Hj* niict sale kind of palri*!*****- There arc a large number ot men in tbe country who wish to lia^e the name of being brave«nu patriotic, but who are not willing to risk tlnor l.ve| m^the army for the sake of be.ng cal .d brave: nor are they willing to part with any of -heir property to be calleJ patriotic These men have invented a cheap and very safe bind of pa- ■liotism. They »-nagitie that they can make them- seives famous by abusing Gov. Brown. Many of thc-in are poiific.il vagrants who have dodged md skulked from State to S' Ae, lrom city to city’, and from town to town, to keep out of the army. They have used all sorts of influences to get 6ome appointment to k’ep them out of dan ger, and then imagine that they atone for all of their sins by abusing the Governor. They kav- discovered that this is the safest and cheapest kind of paliiotism, and that which pays best with the government. Men who have nid in swfnp9 to avoid doing their duty whilst he was labeling night'and day, assail "his pa''iotism. Is not th’s a very safs and cheap kind of patriotism. The seizure of the “Camel’' n!

In reply to an enqu ; :y of W. H. B; nes, Esq., as to tbe facts in the case, Capt, McDuffie writes to the Coti/n^racy, giving the statement above. It appears .' om the official correspondence between Capt McDuffie and Gen. Cobh, that the foi ner, after ha' ‘ ig act las before stated not fled Gen. Cobb. Gen. Cobb replied that the -'Comet” had official despatches to Savannah, and that Capt. McDuffie had no l'glit to interfere v Hb rn officer acting under h's (Gen. Cobb’s) orders.

Cobb to ' ifown I 'm whether the trade in cotton w ith the Yankees was, or not, a violation of law. If it was, *v»s it not the duty of all good c“izcns to pievent it &c. Capt McDuffie speaks out like a man who had right on l ; s side, and so far as Hie correspondence goe-, up to the present writing, has all the advantage. But. le* us hear Gen.

I have just finished reading this somewhat noted production of our “talking ’Sen ator. I should think he did not expect this ex hibition of his scholarship, natriotism and gal lantry to appear in print; but how could the “d-ar Miss Evans” withhold from the public such a com pliment to herself from such a source? The Senator is “comfortable” in tbe belief that by his “talking” he has been ot some service to the people of the dear old State, which he is proud to know gave Iter birth, and happy to feel gave Atm birth. Wei'may any State boast ol tbe pro Auction of ruch prodigies as these two most extra ordinary personages. It can detract no 1 liing from the meiitofthe production of the one, or the statesmanship of the other, that the vulgar herd, consist .g of nine-tenths of the people, have scarcely neard that the dear Miss Evans had w rit ten a novel, (much less readmit) or that she was born in Georg : a; or that none ot them can point out a single measure for the success of our cause or tbe re ief of our people, wr ; ch has. originated with the Senator. But how can the igooraree of the people on these points affect the great t-.r.Hi that these two illustiious Intellects were born in Georgia? In compailson with this proud boast on the part of the dear old State, how ^significant is the fact, • flat, such men as Jackson, Froup. Clarke. Craw ford, Cobb, Lumpkin, S ephens, Toombs, Johnson, Jenkins, and ail that class of second rate intellects were born in Georgia? The communication to the world of the ilnporta.it fact of the birth place of both these individuals was qr ; te sufficient to justi fy her in the publication of the letter of the Sena tor. But Jet us oxr nine the compliment paid by one of these truly great minds to the other After men- tioi'Mig tho hai rest of p-o’od derds, kind words, and ee-m-st foititude, ' O ric.i, so abundant and so ripe, the Senator excle :_ n8. : “I eongra.alate you, wy dear Miss Evans, that, w IMi the truest strokes of the longest blade, you are mowing in»the richest of the field. Ah! my gifted happy friend: you r-e beating.away sheaves that will make a feast at wl' : ch the angels would glutton! May God spare yon to your country, free you' country to you.” W uat grandeur in tl-'ls h nguage! VVe scaice- ]y know which to adm : e most: the depth of pa- tilotism and bv ; Rg love of con try which pron:p ted these grnd conceptions, ’be poetic thought, magnificence of idea, sub ,; ir : ty of sen-iment, the elegance > id finish of the production, the softness and tenderness of affiC’ : on, or the Senatoilal dig nity, so conspicuously displayed. Think of the gi..ed and happy Miss Evaus with lhat “longest blade” of hers. slT.k : '>«r- the “truest strokes,” (heavy!) and piling up rich sheaves for the feast and the'n imagine the angels spreading their gol den wings and gathering around the' pile,” anx ious to “glutton”! Ain’t that grand? The coun try owes Miss Evans a debt of gratitude for giv ing publicity to this chaste, beautiful and digni flea production, winch detracts nothuig from the importance which the world will never fail to ac cord her name and labors. The letter also shows the great difficulties with which great minds have to contend in this tenible struggl". The patiiolic Senator tells tlie more than patiiotic flovelist that the “recre; ts” (the mean cowardly pa t of our people j :»-e ■ « “two to the faithful one,” and that tho recre: nts will in crease, while the faithful will diminish What a sad reflection to ihe devoted pat. lot! They have to conduct this great revolution to a successful is sue ao-ainst the wishes aud without the rid ot over two-tcirds of our people who are mean cowards. In view of this state of public feeling, well may the Senator excls s m. ‘Do avoid conventions now as you would reoonsfi action, for they mean the same tFng, as now proposed—the fi.st being tbe means, tbe second the end.” Avoid conventions now—at a time when the people ve so cowardly, mean aud cor; apt. How unpp donable in Gov. Brown to say, he was not af aid to trust the people in convention! Senator.IIill and the dc Miss Evans know the danger of trusting the people w.ith the manage ment of their own affairs. The Senator commrq- irates. it to her, and she with praiseworthy pui- denc j communicates it to the public. Those who are charge?! with the management of the public in terests of the people, should fully rea ,: ze the \lru- s mes- norant. ) with the consideration and di rection of the?’’ own aff-’rs. Tl ’s dangerous heresy hr 2 cost the Senator a great deal of “talking” and has no doubt cost Miss Evans many sleepless hours Such outrages on the part rf Gov. Brown are irn- nardonable, ::Bd do most justly b.ing upon ids nead the me.'ted scorn and contempt of that gif ted class whose duty it it is to save the country without the r hi of over two-thirds of the people; and who Re r e bot a to the sublime but laborious task of th : iking and > cling for the people, wiio have neither the cot age nor'ke patriotism to act for themselves.

The following Orders have been received from ,,Headquarters Mi itarv Division of the West:” For the purpose of collecting and providing for the prompt restoration to their several Regiments, Battalions or Companies all absentees4rom Lee’s, Stewart’s and Cheatham’a Corps, the following measures will betaken without d;lay: I. Brig. Gen Mackai.I., P A C. S, in addition to his other duti< s, is specially charged with the general supervision o‘‘ the s> rvico involved—his Headquarters being at Macon. Georgia—and he will take all practicable steps to recall to their colors all who are absent from any other cause than actual disability for field service, Or on prop erly gi^tited furloughs. To this end he will es tablish camps at Coiumbos, Atlanta, Albany, Ma con and Augusta, Ga ; Montgomery, Selma and Mobile, Alabama: at Jackson, Macon and Colum bus, Mississippi; and such other points as may be found expedient to which absentees living in the vicinities respectively- “hall be required to repair and report, and to which will be sent all those who may be collected.by neighboring Enrol ing Offi cers, who will be called on to give assistance under the regulations of tbe Conscript Bureau, lie will also require all officers and men to repair to the nearest rendezvous appointed who may be absent by any authority less than that of these Headquar ters or of the Commander of the Department of Alabama, Mississippi and E >st Louisiana; in which case be will make a requisition for such absentees upon that Commander, to whom he will communi cate a copy of these Orders, with a request for the necessary orders to enable him to execute his duties within the limits of that command. II. All officers and men collected at the several rendezvous, established under these orders, south and west of Montgmery, Ala , will be concentrated as soon as practicable at that place, and those brought together in Georgia will he assembled at | Augusta. I. In obedience ta the above order, M-jor E. j D. Willet, 4 >th Alabama Regiment, lias been directed to take command < t the Rendezvotise at I Montgomery, Alabama, to which place all officers I who have already been sent to collect absentees I belonging to the three corps in Tennessee, Missis | sippi and Alabama wifi send them in squads often | cr twenty, the number to depend upon tbe ffiffilify I of transportation from the centre of their field of j operations, and the practicability of subsisting j them at the point of assembly. 5. (.’amps of Rendezvous will be established ! as early as practicable at the following points, viz: , Columbus. Atlanta, Albany, Macon and Augusta, Georgia; Monfgomory.SeltnaanJMobile.Alabama, and at Jackson Macon and Colunibus, Mississippi. Tho officers and men collected in them will be for warded, those reporting in Alabama and Mississip pi to Montgomery; those in Georgia to Augusta cr Macon. Until these camps are established, officers and nten will report to the nearest Post Comman ders or Enrolling Officers, who are requested to forward them as above directed. 3 The officers on duty under tfiese orders will •tiake a weekly report of the absentees collected, giving name, company, regiment, and brigade, the time at which tiiey report aud the place to which oont. The commanders of the rendezvous at Mont gomery and Augusta will make a weekly icpcrt of the officers aud men received during the week, and the strength of the camp at date of report. 4. Po3t commanders are requested to direct their quartermasters and commissaries to give all necessary supplies called for by officers engaged on this J-i'v within the limits of their command. 5. I d that tbe officers sent to me for this duty, nave been selected for their special fitness. It is, therefore, not necessary to urge upon them devotirn to the service and earnestness in their endeavors to assist in bringing their old comrades backfto their colors, but as the very na ture of tbeir service sends them to the vicinity of their homes, I may warn them of the danger of al lowing themselves to lose one day in the fttjoy- ment o: home, which should be devoted to tilling the ranks, by nhidf homes are to be defended. 6. AH officers and men returning are urged to bring in their arms, or any arms they may find in the country. They will the sooner be enabled to join their colons. W. W. MACKALL, Brigadier General. ITS 63 All papers in Georgia, Alabama and Mis sissippi are requested to copy for one week—six times; those iu Georgia will send their accounts to Post (Jhartermaster at Macon; those in Alabama to Post Quartermaster in Montgomery; those in Mississippi to Post Quartermaster at Columbus for payment. » a c W.W.M.
