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.

And another and larger class still hate him because he is honest and firm, and cannot be turned to the right hand or the left from what he believes is his duty. It may seem strange that there should bo men in any country who object to a man on account of these qualities, but the fact that there are many such is as old and as well established as any other fact in history. It was a feeling akin to this which caused Cain to kill Abel. The Athenians banish ed Aristides from their country because they were tired of bearing him called tho just, and many men in Georgia would banish Gov. Brown if they could because they are tired and vexed at hearing him called the model Governor. Some men think whenever they hear another praised for his justice aud honesty it is a standing cert at distant and remote points, in the minds of all be prepared to make many allowances and sac- ] rifices. We must take what vve can get, and lie j satisfied. (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 we believe it is both. erauon. Your candidate, Messrs Editors, Governor Brown, is a faithful and true man: but 1 think we ought to adhere to the time honored usage of only j two terms. It is also understood that he would j feel greatly relieved, at the present time, to be ; allowed to lay down the onerous cares that have j pressed so heavily upon him by reason of the j j greatly increased duties of the Executive Chair. J i If Judge Nisbet will consent to serve the State. I A foilvention our ouly hope. We heartily endorse the following from the Ma con Telegraph of the 12th inst. A scrub race will [*> be our ruin in Georgia : and » scrub race we will have if a Convention is not held A few fossiles like the Recorder and the Chronicle Sr Sentinel op let all postpone their preferences for other candi dates. and let us give him a unanimous and hearty vote for the Gubernatorial Chair.

The Telegraph says: “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 !

Soldiers will do well to read the following notice from a gentleman now in our army in Vir ginia. These side arms have always appeared to 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 field, always doing more harm to ftiend than to foe.

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 ing the army round to buy pistols of the \oiun teers when orders are given to dispense with them, which orders are issued a3 tast as the Different reg iments arrive in camp. It will he money thrown away to buy pistols. Those who are here buying are doing so for speculation, knowing those to whom they sell them will not lie allowed to use them.

We notice that our Abolition cotemporaries foiled to notice iu their columns the proceedings had last Tuesday in the case of the seized schoon er Cren»aw, in the U. S District Conrt of this ’city. The significant language made use of on that case by Daniel Lord. Esq., one of the most eminent members of the New York Bar—and one. 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 property of his clients. The importance of the question and the neces sity tor taking the formal preliminaries of plead ing to bring it properly before the Court, induced the postponement of the argument until next week, when it is possible the President may find that Ills endeavors to play the Dictator are destined to encounter still 'nrtlier Yebukes from the only safeguard of their liberties and property left to’ the unhappy people of this country—an independent judiciary.

(States Rights) of this city, of Thursday morning, ihe-following telegraph dispatch appears, received the night previous. It says that the. fight in the Soutli-West commenced at 10 o'clock, A.

The conflict resulted in the Federal troops being completely routed and with great slaughter. The Southerners pursued them fourteen miles to a point two miles beyond Carthage, where night ended the conflict. The Journal learns further by a letter from Gen. Parsons said to have bean received in Jefferson City, that he (Gen. Parsons) after pursuing the Federalists s me distance, surrounded Zeigle and his forces, and demanded their surrender. Gen. Zeigle stipulated for the surrender of his men without their arms; but Geu. Parsons insisted on an unconditional surrender which was complied with. Among the Federalists killed were Col. B. Oratz Brown, Solomon Kail man. and Wolf. MISSOURI AFFAIRS. QltSCY, July 12.—Capt.

[ Telegraph, 12?A. The Cavalry Skirmish near Williams port.— In confirmation of the reported Cavalry engagement in which the two A-dibys, Richard and Turney Aslibv figured, we ntay state that n 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. The War in .Missouri.

DEATH OP GOvTioHN W. El- X.X3 OF NORTH CAROLINA. The Wilmington (N. 0.) Journal, of Ju ly Stii, comes to us in mourning for the 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. Confederate Appointments.—Colonel Maxry Greggs has received the commission ot Colonel in the Confederate army, and Dr. J.

The war correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga 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.
