Our Regiment is goino- to Have a very rough time of it, and nothing but the strongest sense ol patriotism and its stern duties, could induce me to stand it. Ramsay s Regiment (1st Geo.) and ours art: the •mly troops encamped hen*. His Kegimunt is m-Mily disorganized, the men having* suffered so x verely in their retreat from Laurel Hill. They wen- live days without a morsel of ordinary food, marching all the time. Consequently, there is a great deal of sickness among those here, and con- M-ierable mortality. I feel a great sympathy for them, among whom I find many acquaiutauees. Looking on the map of Virginia, we may ap pear to be i.i a civilized country, hut if you will trace a double rams horn and iwist it, you will ity pci ies the larger but in many of the counties it will be much smaller. I think the90,000 voters at the ballot box are much more competent to mnke a judicious *eie«*tion than the 4,4fc.i who mu y assume to aci for them in Con vention. It may be said, however, that the whole people of the county have a right to attend the meeting, and it they do not, they most be bound by the action of those attending. I deny this. There may be but ten men in the county who de^ir^or favor a Convention. There may be fifteen hundred who do not attend the meeting, because they condemn it. Surely no one would contend that thc-ten have a right to bind the fifteen hundred, because the ten go to the meeting and the fifteen huudred refused t*> go. From the considerations above mentioned and oth ers which I might enumerate, did I not fear to weary your patience with a long letter, I am of opinion that it is impolitic and unwise to attempt to hold either Gu bernatorial or Congressional Conventions, while onr people remain united and party spirit is dormant. Should such Conventions be field in the manner.above described, no one would be bound by their action, but the whole people would be left free at the ballot box, iu the manner pointed out by the Constitution, to se lect their owii rulers, without any regard to the ac tion of these self-constituted assemblies. Should the country again be unfortunately divided into ]>olitical part ies, they may find it necessary to revive these caucus nominations to secure the success of the princi ple for which either may contend.

Atlanta, August 10th, 1861. To His Excellency, Joseimi E. Brown: Dear 8n: I desire, your views for publication on two points: First: Is it, in your opinion proper, under exist ing circumstances to bold a Convention, as pro posed by some of the public journals of this State, to nominate a candidate for Governor; and to bold Conventions, in the different Congressional Dis- iricts, to nominate candidates for Congress.— Second: If it should be the wish of the masse* of the people without regard to old party differ ences. would you, in the present critical period ot our history, consent to serve for a third term in the Executive office' I trust you will, at an early day, answer the above questions and consent to its publication. Yours truly, JARED I. WHITAKER. Camp McDonald, Aug 13th, 1861. Dear Sir: Your letter is before me containing two inquiries, to each of which you ask my reply for publication. 1st. Whether, in my opinion.it is proper under existing circumstances to hold a Convention, in- proposed by some of the public journals of thi State, to nominate a candidate for Governor, and to hold Conventions in the different Congressional Districts to nominate candidates for Congress. tJnd Whether, if it should be the wish of the mass of the people of Georgia, without regard to old party differences. I would, ill this critical period of our history, consent to strve for a third term in the Executive office? To your first inquiry AT reply that, under exist ing circumstances, there is, in my opinion.no necessity for a political State Convention cr Caucus to nominate a candidate for Governor, nor is there anv necessity for such Convention or Caucus in each Congressional District to nominate candi dates for Congress. Thes? political caucuses or conventions, have been the instruments in the hands of political paities for maintaining their organization and consolidating their strength in important elections, when a division of strength on two or more can didates of the same party, would have caused the defeat of that party, enabling the party in the minority in the State or District, by a consolida tion of its whole strength, to succeed over the the majoiity with its strength divided. In this view so long as party organizations were pro per. and while our people were divided upon gr -at political questions, conventions or caucuses were necessary lor the preservation of party discip line and party power, liotli parties, especially the party in the ascendency in a particular locality, found it necessary to adopt the practice to pre vent defeat. Fortunately for the country, tve have at length reached a period wheu party differences have passed away. With them I trust the vituperation and bitterness to which they gave rise, will soon find a common grave. The people of the South, as one man. are engaged in a mighty contest, in volving not only their lives, th ir liberty and their property, but the destiny of their posterity. If we stand together, firmly and resolutely united, we are invincible, and with the aid of Divine Providence, we shall soon achieve a grand, glori ous, final victory over a revengeful and relentless foe. The King of kings has given to the united arms ol our Confederacy, the most triumphant suc cess. He has inspired onr soldiers with courage, and has scattered beforo them the so-called grand army of the l uion with a great General at its head, as of old, He scattered the terror-stricken hosts of the Assyrian before tfee small army of Isarei. Let us. then, with devout gratitude, for this evidence of Divine favor, press forward, with or. heart and one voice. Let us avoid everything that may revive party divisions and strifes and vie with each other only to d< tonnine who shall do most in proportion to his ability for the advance ment ol our glorious, common cause. How, then, shall we best avoid parly divisions? Surely, not by using the very instrumentality, which was, formany long years, employed to keep them alive. But it is said, that the Convention soon to as semble, is to be a Convention of the tchule people of I he Stale without regard to pa.*t party divisions. If this were so, and the tchule people would partici be fi-ld.

Things are v changed. We all profess to be governed by same principles, and the only division among .deciding upon the best men to carry out our ..r.-cjples. This would seem to do away with the i• -eseity of a Convention for the present. But . ciuter.ded by some that a Convention is necessary to unite tlm people upon ono loan. Tni* it desirable, but fiom present appearanees, a Convention, so far from uniting us, will most cer- tainly cause party divisions, and again create party ,:nte and bitterness There is no prospect that the Convention to assemble on tiie llli of Sep- Mulerv'iti represent ouo tenth part of the peo- • f of Gei>rgia. Many portions of the 8tatc will in be represented at all, and in many counties where delegates have been chosen, they have been j-.ected iiy a few luon at some town or village meus, when the great majority of the people of v.ecounty had nothing to do with the meeting Theminds of the people are now absorbed by the »ir, and it is impossible to get the great mass of • -people to take any interest in a Convention to r itni'iRte a Governor. These things being known i i admitted by everybody, a Convention as- j-miSied under such circumstances would not carry any authority or force with it, and so far !roai harmonising the people, will only create con- •. nand discord. As partisans, as Democratic : sans, we were always iu favor of Conven- iis, because they were necessary to combine r rtrengtb and for the success of our cherished nciples. and if our State should again be uivi- Jed into parties advocating opposite principles shall, under such circumstances, again be iu .cor of Conventions as the means of the success ur principles.

I largest number ol t ie people in each county won d hi' likely to assemble The sale day in September comee, 1 believe, the day before the time proposed for the Convention. Delegates appointed then, in the different counties in ibe .State, could not pos sibly leach the Convention. Sale day in August is past, and, so tar as I am iufoimed, Very few counties appointed delegates, and in most ot those tho meetings were composed of a very small number of persons. It is evident, therefore, that, if the counties generally are represented, it will be by delegates appointed by cliques of village wire workers and office seekers, meeting together iu small numbers without the knowledge of the honest, laboring masses of tiie people, for whom they w ill assume lo act, and iu many cases, ap pointing only such delegates as will undertake so to cast ti e vote of the comty as to serve their particular views. If two-thiidsof the couniies are represented, even by delegates appointed by these small meetings, I predict that quite a number will be represented by proxies, or men living in other counties who have only the request of a few per sons to act and w ho are not acquainted with the wishes or preferences of the people whom they undertake to represent. I have heard of but two or three connties in this K rt of the btate that have appointed delegates. each of tb> se, it is said that trura twenty to fifty persons met, without any previous notice, and ap pointed delegate who are to represent in each casee from fifteen hundred to two thousand voters, with out their knowedge or consent. A Convention thus constituted, eannot be said te be a Convau- bcen but a usage, as their is no Constitutional difiiieul ty in the way of the same peison holding the office for a third term. I have had no inclination to violate this ii*nge. It I have made no character in the offi lour years, I may not expect to do so iu six. If I have made any reputation during that time. 1 have, t! something to risk by holding the office for another term in tiie midst of revolution. This nnd other pri a ate considerations I have often urged upon friends, who have demanded of me, that I again eonsiiit to the use of my name. These objections have been met with the reply, that I have been in the office till I un derstand its duties; that the country is now in great ti nancisl trouble which may cause a very heavy in crease ot taxation, and that under mv administration, the faithful officers whom I have selected to manage the State Road, are paying into the State Treasury, from its net earning-, over four hundred thousand dol lars per annum, which would have to he raised by in- erenst-d taxes if not made by the Road, and that a chauge is to lie feared lest it might not be for the better. It is also urged that I am now familiar w ith the finan cial affairs of the State, nnd that in these dark days of revolution, w hen it is most important that no mistep be made, it might lie risking too much to place a new man in the position, wholly HI.acquainted with the prae heal details of the office, and with the condition of the military, financial and other affairs of the State Again, it is urged that I,as a secessionist, had much te do with the withdrawal of Georgiu from the wicked and oppressive abolition government of the United States, which brought upon us the present revolution, and it issaid that, as the State has entered into it un der my administration. 1 have no right lo consult my personal interests or inclinations anil to retire in tin- midst oi tin* revolution, shifting its burdens upon the shoulders of another, but that I should remain at the helm andendure,without complaint, all the responsibili ties, toils and hardships necessary to carry the old ship State triumphantly through the storm. It is nlsoelaini- ed that the example of oursister State of Tennessee isentitled to respect, the people of that gallant State unwilling to change a tried man fora new one, having, within the Inst few days, re-elected Gov. Harris for n thirdterm by an overwhelming majority. It is also urged that the use of my name may tend to harmonize conflicting claims, and may prevent a canvass that can only engender strife and contentions among our peo ple wheu unity and harmony are of vital impor tance. Feeling that there may be some force in these and other considerations urged upon my attention by men ol all shades of past political opinion, and that it is the duty of every citizen in a great emergency like the present, to serve the State in any capacity iu which lie may be most useful, while I can neither ent'-r into a canvass nor into any political combination for the offict I could not refuse to serve if the masses of the people without regard to old party lines, were by their united suffrages at the ballot box to demand my services for another term. I am very respectfully, Your fellow-citizen, JOSEPH E. BROWN. Hon. Jakeii Inn in Whitaker. ANOTHER GREAT RATTLE. Southerners Victorious. OFFICIAL REPORT OF TIIE BATTLE OF SPRINGFIELD.

St. Louis, Aug. 13.—A rumor is current on the street, in which soma reliance is placed, that Gen. Lyon's command in the South west lias been total ly routed by the rebels, and Gen. Lyon himself killed, and Zeiglein full retreat with the remnant of the Federal forces. This in formotion is said to have been received hero by the secessionists last evening, the messen ger who brought the news having killed four horses between Springfield and Rolla, in a rate with the Government messenger. It is also reported that Gen. Fremont received dispatches about midnight, corroborating the above, but their contents were not divulged. Great anxiety is felt by the Union men here, and most serious apprehensions are indulged f >r our army. We will probably get something reli able by the train to-night.

Richmond, Va., August 14.—The following are the names of tho Confederate soldiers buried here since the !?th inst., as stated iu this morning’s pa pers : John Gladden, 2d Florida Regiment; Barnard Thacker, jldth Louisiana Regiment: Henry Flem ing.

The writer conversed with a neutral, who left Washington on the -1th of August, a man of probi ty—no matter where the intelligence was given. He says a great reaction is goiug on in the public mind in favor of peace. The public affairs are iu the hands ot imbeciles: distrust is the consequence. The repeal of the Sub-Treusurv, and allowing the money loaned to remain in the Banks, will pro bably repeat the crisis of 183!). The first of the Treasury Notes are selling at four per cent, discount. Wliat will the last sell at/ Those who are willing to use their means for a sixty or ninety days war now pause, aud will soon reject the purpose to continue it. Tho wonder of military men is that the Con federates did not cuter Washington. No doubt all tbeir movements were matters of deliberation. Tiie condition of things on Monday aud Wednes day following the battle, it is impossible to de scribe—the streets were filled with soldiers open ly proclaiming-tile cowardice and treason of their canMns'-.iIers— unit «' imy timo. if tho pjry "Da vis” had been heard, at one end of the Avenue, the whole mass would have lied at the other. Such was tho demoralization, that experienced European officers say the pages of history afford no parallel The movements of the Confederate troops, though they are within a few miles of us, are wrapped in profound silence. Where the next blow will fall, no one knows—some think in West ern Virginia. It is thought with great confidence, by moder ate men that unlass some great reverse, the Euro pc,an powers will acknowledge our independence before November. The narrator said a few weeks ago Sumner was boasting to the French Minister about the appro priation of five hundred millions for five hundred thousand men. and asked with an air of triumph if this would not convince Europe. 1 'Ves,” said Merrier, “we always told our Government that Southerners we belligerent, and now they will know they are very belligerents. Every attention is paid to Southern prisoners by friends particularly ladies. The many propositions lookiug to a peaceful adjustment have reached nearly fifty supporters in Congress. Many look for a revolution in the December meeting if peace is not made before. The cry of the West is, that with corn at ten cents they cannot pay taxas. The discipline under McClelland is illustrated by sayiDg that even ibe mules turn out their toes in marching. A. Z. The Iasi Prize of the Jeff Dacis.—The prize master of the bark which was captured by the privateer Jeff. Davis and run asLore on the beach of Amelia Island, reached this city yesterdaj’. lie informs us that the vessel was the Alvarado, Capt. Whitting, of and for Boston, from the Cape of Good Hope, having a cargo of wool, old cop per. sheep, and goat skins, &c. Early on Mon day, the 5th inst., when nearing Amelia Island, made a sail iu the chase of the Alvarado, which is supposed to have been the sloop of-war Vincen nes. In consequence of the wind being unfavor able, and the sloop-of-war outsailing the bark, they were compelled to beach berm order to pre vent her failing into the hands of the enemy. The prize crew and the former officers and crew went ashore on Amelia Island, when the sloop-of-war ent armed boats alongside the bark and set fire to her. It is supposed that a part of the cargo and material will be saved. Played Oet.”—Under this caption, tbo Bal timore South exposes the falsity of the representa tions coming from Washington in regard to the filling up ot the depleted ranks of the “grand army.” After giving the causes which reduced that army to its present condition and shewing that the Government is forced to resort to ficti tious means to keep up au excitement among the people, the South says : While the army of the Potomac has been un dergoing a steady drain frem these causes, the fresh material which is being supplied to till the places made vacant by the refusal of regimeuts to re-enlist for the war, and by the desertion of in dividuals, is of the most trilling and worthless description. With few exceptions, the new regi ments that hive passed through this city on their wa v to the Capital, are regiments, the formation of which was commenced soon after tire 19th of April, but which—through want of means, tho incompetency of their officers or the disreputable auspices tinder which they were started, languish ed, never reached their proper complement of members or were rejected by the Union Defence Committee of the Government. For the rest, the draw upon report this newsearrent there, and generally credited Some say a large nu-nbsr of wagons were sen: up to convey down th? property which was captured. DEATH OF A. J. BOGGESS. Richmond, Ang. 15.—A. J. Boggess, Surveyor-Gen eral of the State of Georgia, died Here this morning of Typ hoid Fever. Two Terrible Casnallim. This morning, about the hour of ten, a man of the name of Rowell Bates, from the country, was knocked down and run over near Nisbit's Foundry, by the South-Western train backing iu to its position at the passenger depot, nnd instantly killed. His head was ' nearly decapitated. He was stunding on the track looking at the'departure of the Macon A Western train, nnd did not hear or heed the warning to get off the track rill too late. About the same hour, near the switch on the Central Railroad, a lad of the name of William Ferrell, sou of Mrs. Ferrell, in this city, was run over by the Central train going out, and dreadfully mangled. He lived bat a little while after he was conveyed to his mother’s reeideooe.—Jfaarn Citizen 10<A. A aacond regiment of Fire Zouaves is forming ta New York.

All this, it will be confessed, does not look much like an early capture of Richmond, or the speedy sub jugation of the South. (MISSOURI AFFAIRS.

We trust our people will be prompt and generous in giving all the assistance in their power for this purpose TO TOE PCBI.IC. Under au appointment made by our fellow-citi zens, we have been some time acting iu the man agement of a Hospital Fund, which has been raised, and is being raised in ottr State, and ap plied for tbe benefit of the sick and wounded of the Georgia forces in tho field. This has been called the “Georgia Soldiers Hospital Fund,” and we respectfully ask that you will assist us, by organizing au auxiliary committee, or otherwise acting in your county. We have at present two surgical directors, aud several assistants or nurses, who, by permission of the Secretary of War. are in permanent attendance on the Hospitals. These not only afford the necessary ministrations to our sick and wounded, but supply them with such extra comforts as are proper in their situation. As the number of the sick and wounded increase, there will of couise be an increased demand for such services and such comforts; and we appeal to our fellow-citizens in all parts of the State, (for ive make no distinction iu onr ministrations, and know none: every son and soldier of Georgia having the same claim upon us, and equally re ceiving tiie attention of our agents.) to aid us in this interesting work. A patriotic and humane planter has suggested in one of the public gazettes, that tbe planters of Georgia should contribute each one bale of Cotton to this Fund, so as to put it upon an entirely secure and independent basis. Upon this many have acted, and have sent us subscriptions. If others choose to do so. we will thankfully receive them, aud promise that we will dispose of them to the best advantage iu aid of this pious charity.

Inordinary times 8100,000,000 boriowed for railroads would reproduce itself with the interest. Money borrowed for war is mere waste. A val ue equal to five years of California gold products is thus thrown away in one trans action. To 6tatc it briefly, as Mr. Chase is an Ohio man, the whole amount of the wheat crop of Ohio for twenty years is to be given to Mr- Chase aud Mr. Belmont to keep 400,000 men destroying lives and property for three months.
