now on duty at Camp Jackson, Virginia. -When
the Blues were ordered to Virginia, he stepped
forth with wi'.liugn-ss. notwithstanding he was
then a great sufferer from the terrible malady
which ended his life, and left his business when it
most demanded Ins attention, lie remained with
his corps in Virginia as long as his officers would
permit, and came homo but to die. He was
devoted to his Company, and died, as he had lived,
a true Blue. Though a stranger in a strange land
without a tie of consanguinity on this side of the
ocean, it is consoling to know,that bis last illuess
was softened aud mellowed by the hand of sym
pathy and affection. The Baldwin Blues, Jr.,
with full ranks, buried him with military honors;
a squad of the Old Blues acting as pall bearers.
Quite a number ot our citizeus attended the
funeral services, and attested their respect for the
memory of the deceased, by joining in the pro-
cession and following the remains to their last
restiug place Stricken down in the full vigor of
early manhood, just as the tender buds of Hope
were unfolding their crimson leaves to the sun ;
with a patriotism all aglow for the cause of his
adopted country, his grave is bedewed by the tears
of a gratciul community, and bis memory will
long be hallowed in the hearts of his bereaved
comrades \vho>e fate and fortunes he craved to
share. The Confederate flag over the Armory of
toe Blues hung at half mast during the faneral
services. Green be the sod above bis grave.

in Georgia would banish Gov. Brown if they
could because they are tired and vexed at hearing
him called the model Governor.

(For the Southern Federal Union.)
HON, E. A. NISBET, Foit Governor.
Messrs. Editors: I have read in the papers, and
h-ard in conversation the names of some fifteen or
twenty gentlemen, suggested by their friends res
pectively, as suitable candidates for our next Gov
ernor. Many ot these are men of distinguished
ability, who would honor the office: and I am proud
as a Georgaiu that vvedtave so many able men from
whom to make our choice at this impoitant crisis.
For if we ever needed superior leaders iu every
department, now is emphatically the occasion —
The present time demands the best talents we can
command, especially for the Executive Chair.
In travelling through Georgia, 1 have lately dis
covered a singular unanimity without previous con-
rebuke to them aud hon<*»thcT hale film. But the
enemies of Gov. Brown do not come out, at least
but few of them, and give these true reasons why
they object to him: they know the people would
discriminating and influential citizens, who had
no personal ends to gain, but the best good of the
ritaie, in favor of Judge Nisbet as the proper man
for the Gubernatorial Chair. I do not know if lie
would like the post, but as a true patriot he should
r .- , , . not decline the call of the country,
not sustain them: they prefer to raise a tog about u , ,. ,
J r ” He will prove, I am inclined to nt
some venerable custom against electing him. and
then to operate against him under the cover of
that fog. Venerable cus oins, when examined
carefully, frequently turn out to be venerable Hum
bugs. So it will he foiiud in this case. It is said
prove, 1 am inclined to believe, the Jirst
choice of a majority of our citizens, and the se
cond choice cf a large proportion of those, who,
from persona! considerations, would prefer anoth
er man.
Judge Nisbet is familiar with the wants of the
S ate, and has lately served our State Convention
that it has been the custom ill Georgia to elect a jand the, Confederate Congress with laborious and
Governor but twice ; this has no doubt been sane -j marked ability. He is at once a firm and conser-
tioned bv the politicians to give a great many of i va ^ ive man. He first offered the secession Resoltt
_ . , „ tion m the State Convention. He is a gentleman,
them a chance to become Governor; but is it for ,. , , , , - ,
a finished scholar, an able jurist, an experienced
statesman: and his pure and elevated moral char
acter makes him a fine model for the rising geu-
but is it for
the benefit of the people? We think not.' If a
man makes a bad Governor, the people will not
want to continue him in office, but if he makes a
first rate Governor it is their right and their privi
lege to re-elect him as often as they please, unless
the office of Governor was created for the benefit
of th-s politicians, and not oftiie people. The exam
ple of Washington which is brought up, has not
the least application or analogy to this case. The
President of the U. 8. has the Army aud Navv, an
immense revenue, and the patronage of millions
at his control, and there is danger in continuing
him in office more thau eight years. But the
Governor of Georgia has no standing Army and j
Navy under his control, has very little patronage,
and no sane man would believe he could change
the Republic of Georgia into a monarchy in two
years, which is all the time lie would have to op
erate between elections. Other States have elect
ed their Chief Magistrates, some three and others
more than three times, with great advantage to the
people, and there is neither law, nor gospel, nor
reason, nor common sense, opposed to it in Geor
gia, if it is the wish aud interest of the people, and

“THE SCR till RACE.
The scrub race for Governor in Alabama is
likely, we fear, to be attended with unfortunate
consequences. The canvass between tlie friends
ot the rival candidates is already waxing warm,
and the New Y ork Hessian amuses itself aud read
ers with a bird’s eye view of the contest. \Ye are
sorry to see any division among our people upou
politics or men, at such a time as this. Let Geor
gia permit a race ot this sort, and we shall not be
surprised if it becomes as embittered as any ot the
old party canvasses. How can this he avoided, ex
cept hy a Convention of prudent patri -tie men re
commending a candidate to the harmonious sup
port of the people ! Few now are warmly enlisted
for any particular man ; and the selection of a
good nominee, by a respectable body of delegates,
would unite the State. If left to a scrub race, we
shall have divisions and contentions, and finally
an administration bearing the endorsement of only
a minority of the people."

Soldiers will do well to read the following
notice from a gentleman now in our army in Vir

us unnecessary. They confuse the soldier in
battle, when his attention should be directed to
his musket and bayonet. They are also the cause
of many accidents, both in the camp and in the

Editors of Atlanta papers:
Gentlemen: Allow me through your columns
to mforin all volunteers who have not purchased
side arms, that it is useless for them to do so, as
they will not be allowed to carry them alter they
are mustered iuto service. The money each
would spend for a pistol will do them great good
if brought in money. There are men here foiiow

which orders are issued a3 tast as the Different reg

too, whose political course has rather assimilated
with their v ears heretofore—was, perhaps, unpal
atable to our war presses. Mr. Lord, in a very
few and well pot words, demonstrated tho legal
point that the blockade of the Southern ports is
without any lawful sanction, since the blockade is
an act of war. and the President of the United
8tate3 lias not the power to declare war, which
power is vested in Congress alone.
There being no war and no blockade, in con
templation of law, Mr. Lord demanded the release
of the tobacco captured on board tbo Crenshaw

The importance of the question and the neces

the postponement of the argument until next

gentleman of this town mentioned to us yester
day afternoon, the receipt of a letter from a gentle
man of high character, cognizant of the facts,
more than sustaining ail the telegraphic or printed
accounts. Richard Ashby with a scouting party
of five men was drawn into or fell into an ambush
and was charged upon by a troop of Lincoln’s
Cavalry through which the little band cut their
way. two, however, being killed outright, and
Captain Richard Ashby supposed to bo mortally
won tided. It is said that his brother Turner
Ashby, who happened to be in the neighborhood
with some ten or twevle mounted men, was so
maddened by the death of his brother, that he de
termined to be revenged, and with his determina
tion, rather than with any hope of victory, lte
cbarged the troop with his handful of men,ac
tually killing five of the enemy himself. The
desperation of the attack actually appalled the
enemy and they fled, leaving seventeen dead on the
field. This, iu substance, says the letter. It
differs hardly at all from the published accounts,
save in showing the additional motive which added
to the fierceness of the impulse that hurled Ttirnei
Ashby on the foe.

DEATH OP GOvTioHN W. El-
X.X3 OF NORTH CAROLINA.
The Wilmington (N. 0.) Journal, of Ju

death of Gov. Ellis. The Journal thus
briefly, but feelingly, alludes to
event.
Heath of Gov. Ellis.—The telegraph
brings us the painful intelligence of the
death John W. Ellis, Governor of North
Carolina.
Gov. Ellis had gone to the Virginia
Springs for the restoration of his health,
never robust, and recently impaired by
close condncinent to liis oiiicial duties, ren
dered more arduous aiid responsible by the
present peculiar position of the country.
The virtual outbreak of hostilities, con
sequent upon Lincoln’s proclamation of
the loth of April, found Governor Ellis
prostrated in health; sick almost unto
death, but unwilling to yield. In that
state, lying on a sofa iu his oftice, he dic
tated his noble reply to Lincoln's insolent
demand for North Carolina troops to co
erce tlie South—he ordered the occupation
of the forts, he rallied the military spirit
of the State.
Ever since, a dying man, he has stood
like a martyr at the stake, concealing as
far as possible his sufferings, and dying,
we honestly believe, a martyr to his de
votion to the cause of the South. He was
a true North Carolinian, a brave man, a
noble patriot.
John W. Ellis was, w e think, about for
ty-one years of age—a native ot the old
country of Rowan. The duties of the of
fice devolve upon Mr. Clark President of
the Senate.

zette fuini.rii -s the following summary of the
position of the opposing forces in Western Yit-
ginia •
Readers who care to understand the movements
now in progress iu Western Virginia will remem
ber that ilie Confederate force has mainly con
centrated at Burlington aud Laurel Hill, thirteen
miles South of Phillippa on the main road leading
through Beverly, Huttonville. the Citeat Moun
tain Gap. and tlieuco on through the heart of Vir
ginia to Stauton, and tho beginning of direct
railroad communication with Richmond. At this
Conlederate camp, there are now near nine t’uons
and soldiers, and there seems little room to dcubt
that they are really under the command of the
redonbtable Wise. Besides this force at their advan
ced camp, they have also troops at Beverly, Hunt
tonville and the Gaps, though in what numbers
now it is impossshleto tell. The probability is
ihat they have concentrated all their available
strength at the a vatice camp, merely leaving be
hind foem men enough to garrison the towns and
keep ilieir communications open.
The Federal forces,on the other hand, are con
centrating at two points, Phillippaand Clarksburg.
When I tell you that, with the exception of th*
troops absolutely needed to guard the road and
hold Grafton, and of one regiment stationed at
Cheat river, all the troops in Western Virginia
have gone to Phillippa or Clarksburg, you will
have little difficulty in comprehending the con
templated movements. In addition to this I may-
add that the column from Clarksburg commen
ced moving yesteruayjune 2tilli.

iilin, late member of the Baldwin Biues, now-
serving in Virginia; which committee, consist
ing of Lieut. Moure, Sergt. Wm A. Fair and
Private John Grieve, made the following report,
which was unanimously adopted :
“An inscrutable dispensation of Providence has
removed from our midst, in the bloom of his man
hood and usefulness, onr friend and fellow-citi
zen, Frederick Shof.nbein. Though * for
eigner by birth, and encouraged by prospects of a
hopeful future to remain in the quiet walks of
business life, his heart was fired at the wrongs of
his adopted section, and he was among the fiisl to
fall into line of battle, when the aggressive move
ments of the North called for resistance and re
venge. As a member of the Baldwin Blues, he
discharged his duties with fidelity and zeal till a
fearful disease, aggravated by the hardships of the :
service, compelled him to retire. In the absence
of that Company he loved so well, aud whose j
honored name we hear, we have enjoyed the |
mourntnl privilege of consigning his remains to a
soldier’s grave. We would feign weave a more
enduring chaplet to his memory.
Resolved, That as friends we mount the untime
ly fate ot the deceased, whose amiable disposition,
unobtrusive habits and gallant bearing won the
respect of all who knew him.
Resolved, That we sympathize with the Bald
win Blues, our honored seniors now in service,
who by this new bereavement, will mourn the loss
of one of its most useful, devoted end chivalrous
member*.
Resolved, That these Resolutions be published
in the city paper*, and a copy transmitted to tb*
