Tli» Chronicle A Sentinel in an article under
tie above head, makes a desperate attempt to
zzali for the Bank«, bnt makes a decided fail
a We should think it was a very unpropitions
time to shout for the banks, when not one of then
pretend to redeem their promises to pay, and
m an cannot pass through Augusta without having
& contemptible shin plaster thrust into his face
If a traveler buys a ticket at the Railroad office,
mid offers a Note of one of these detestable banks
for pay- he is told he must make his own change
or be taxed from 10 to 25 per cent, on his money
Xhese are the glorious fruits of the banks, they
refute to redeem their notes according to promise.
Mid then tax a man for not having the change,
tl,r.s taking advantage of their own wrong. The
Chronicle A Sentinel praises the banks for ex.
changing their own notes without interest, for
Confederate bonds at 8 per cent, interest. We
should think such an arrangement was greatly ti
:: eadvantage of the banks, when it is known that
he banks do not pretend to redeem their notes
ind it is very uncertain when they will redeem
them, if-ever. The Chronicle A Sentinel says tha‘
denouncing the banks does not pay now. It nev
er did pay, and that is perhaps the reason why
many people never do denounce them, when the\
deserve it ever so much. The article of the Chron
•tie A Sentinel very forcibly reminds ns of an ad
venture of Dougald Dalgetta in the legend ot
Montrose. Maj. Dalgetta was taken prisoner and
put in a dungeon in a castle belonging to the
Ifuke ot Argyle. Jn a little time after ho was
locked up, his prison door was opened, and a gen
tleman entered and beg"n to praise the Duke.and
persuade Dalgetta to enter liis setvicc. Dalgetta
heard him for a short time, and then gravely re
marked, that he had traveled much, and seen a
preat many men, but had never heard one praise
the Duke of Argyle before, and he strongly sus
peeled he must be the Dnko himself or some ot
i.u near relations. We strongly suspect that the
writer of the article in the Chronicle A Sentinel
must be very intimately connected with a bank
himself, for we have seen a great many men with-
it the last six months, and don’t remember to
ave beard any one praise the banks until we
<aw that dry effort in the Chronicle A Sentinel.
Is not the writer a bank man, or a very near re
lative to one ?
Ito*. Brown, never a favorite with the t'ot-
itiriailK.
We see it frequently announced with a bitter
supercillio'-s sneer, that Gov. Drown was not the
first choice of the Convention that nominated him;
but was after a long contest among tho friends of
several leading politicians, taken up as a compro
mise candidate. This is true, and it speaks vol
umes in favor of Gov. Drown. Ho was never a
favorite of the politicians. He was not one of
them, and could never be moulded and twisted
and fashioned to suit them. He did not belong to
an aristrocratic family, but was emphatically, and
truly one of the people. Hence he was never
t-'ie first choice of the politicians, but was taken
up by them for the purpose of saving the Si^te in
a very hard contest. He has always been a favorite
"i:h the people, because they have always found
him honest and faithful to their interests. In ev
ery cjntest between Gov. Drown and the politi
cians. and they have been many, and bitter, the
people have always triumphantly sustained him ;
*ul the sequel 1ms always proven as clear as a sun
b ’.ni. that the Governorand the people were right,
and the politicians wrong. We ask the honest
voters of Georgia to look back and review the nu-
m.rous conflicts between the Governor and the
hanks and other monied corporations, and see if
events have not shown that the Governor was right,
and was in all of them the true friend of the people
h ever there was a man in Georgia that deserved to
called the Tribune of the people, that man is
Joe Drown. He has manfully and faithfully
food forth the champion of their rights, oft times
against fearful odds, and frequently as his ene
mies believed and hoped, at the risk of his own
good name and fame. Hitherto the people have
a.ways sustained him over the hea !s, and in spite
the efforts of the politicians. And shall we now
distrust the people of Georgia ? Never .' To be -
tve that the people of this enlightened and pa
triotic State, will throw away their faithful and

"■ the banks, selected by bank agents, and bank
attorneys, is to believe them incapable of self-gov-
ruinent. We believe the people of Georgia know
ibeir own interest too well to commit political
‘aicide. They will support and sustain Governor
Brown, not so much on his account, ns on their
own. They want a man that can sustain the fman-
c • credit of the State. Gov. Drown lias shown
that he can do this, if any man can They want a

vert it into a political machine of no benefit to the
.'t.ito It is therefore risking too much to make
t* e c mnge at a time like this, either to please
tOv. Brown’s enemies, to gratify the ambition of
some new man who wants the office, or to sustain
i us tof, or wbi/h no provision was made either in
the old constitution of the State, or the new con*
stitution lately adopted. Only a little over one
mont since, the people of Georgia at the ballot
ox acknowledged that the usage was not bind
ing. by adopting a constitution which makes the
Jovernor eligible fora third term if elected bv the j
people.
•>. Gov. Drown has managed the finances of the
State well, and has refused to permit politicians
>r others, to pluuder-the State Treasury under the
forms of law. Some persons who desired tore-
•.eive special favors which were not granted them,
or who desiied office and did not get it, are now
'pposed to Gov. Drown: but such men plead the
usage as a reason why he should not be. re-elected,
concealing from the people the true reason of
their opposition.
J. Governor Dro/vn’s course in connection with
our federal policy and the war, has been bold,
energetic and decided, and lias saved the State
nillions of dollars, and, probably, hundreds of
valuable lives.
»>. Defore l*ort Pulaski had been occupied by
tederal troops, and before Georgia bad acted,
Gov. Drown risked every thing and boldly seized
'he Fort, and occupied it by Georgia troops. This
imeiy net has kept the foot of the invader off the
oil of Georgia. In the adjoining state of South
Carolina, on one side, the federal troops got pos
session of Fort Sumpter: and it cost a battle, and
the expenditure of over a million of dollars, to get
it back. In the state ot Florida, on the otherside.
he federal troops got possession of For Pickens:
md it has taken nearly ten thousand men to guard
-hem, and has cost but little short of five millions
t dollars, and we are not yet in persession of the
t ort; while in Georgia half a regiment in Fort
tilaSki, ho,ds it uuiotly, and defies Lincoln’s
roops to attempt to enter. The Governor's worst
enemies are compelled to admit that Georgia is
indebted to him alone for her present proud posi
tion in this respect, and that Lincoln’s troops
.vould now, in all probability, be in tho Fort, and
i large army of our forces lying around it at an
immense cost, with a prospect of heavy loss of
ife in retaking it. hut for his hold, decided,fearless
action.
6. When tho property of citizens of Georgia
was seized by the authorities of New York, Gov.
Drown seized New York ships, and held them til)
he compelled the authorities there to do justice to
the citizens of Georgia, by returning the property
which they had forcibly taken from them.
7. Soon after Georgia seceded, Gov. Drown
went vigorously to work and purchased an3
brought into the State, saltpetre and sulphur
enough to make several hundred tons of powder.
The Confederate Government and the Govern
ments of all the other States in the Confederacy
taken together, have not done as much in secur
ing powder material, as he has done. Without a
supply of powder, we must have been conqueted :
and without the material which Gov. Drown pur
chased and turned over to the Confederacy, it
would probably have been impossible to procure
a supply. Tlie Governor’s bitterest enemy cannot
deny the above fact. As a prominent member ot
the Military Hoard of another State remarked a
few days since, “the whole people of the Confed
eracy owe him a debt of gratitude for bis iar-seeing
wisdom in providing in advance of all others, a
supply of powder material; without which the
success of the Southern cause wouid have been
an impossibility.” In addition to this, he laid in
a supply of powder and lead amply sufficient for
all the necessities of the State.
8. Gov. Drown has sent more troops into the
Confederate service from Georgia, fully armed,
equipped and accoutred, than have been sent
in similar condition, from any other State in the
Confederacy. It is a sourep of just pride to every
Georgian who visits Virginia, to hear it remarked,
as he frequently does, that the Georgia State troops
have come to the field better provided for than
those from any other State in the Confederacy.
9 As old party lines have been obliterated, and
to prevent a revival of old party jealousies which
would naturally spring up in the contest between
new men seeking the office, things that are doing
well enough should remaiu as they are till our
troubles are over.
10. In this time of peril, when all we have is at
stake, and we have a man at the helm who has so
far carried the ship safely through the storm, the
people of Georgia should, as the people of Ten
nessee have done, refuse to change out of mere
respect to ? usage an administration which has
bjen eminently successful, for a new one which
may be much worse, but which they cannot rea
sonably hope will be better. At such a time, ckang r
should not be made merely for the sake of change.
11. Governor Drown has been in the office now
nearly four years—is well acquainted with the
financial condition of the State, and with her mil
tary affairs, and knows the practical workings of
all the machinery of the Government; and it is
impossible for any new man to take the position in
the midst of the revolution and become as well ac
quainted with these matters in six months, as Gov. |
Down now is. For want of practical knowledge, i
a new man might commit serious blunders, before |
he could acquire it, which would result in the j
greatest misfortunes to the State.
12. The defeat of Gov. Drown would be hailed j
with gladness by the Lincoln Government, and all j
the hosts of our Northern enemies, who hate him.

Their virtues shall prompt us to a faithful discharge of

aiding to fight our battles, at the same time that they
are providing for the comfort of our soldiers. With

We commend to the attention of the people of
Georgia an article under the above caption, taken
from the Mississippian. It is as applicable to
Georgia as to Mississippi. Governor Brown long
since brought these truths home to us in an ad-
d r ess to the people of Georgia. Many of onr cit-

He seldom retires till I! A. M . and not then till

a visit from his home friends. He is doubly
pleased to have Indies visit his camps, but thinks
the wives of the officers and privates should not
do so, as their presence would seriously interfere
with sterner duties. Any lady may visit the
camps without fearing to see or hear anything in
delicate or offensive. Oh. no ! Southern soldiers
never insult or offend a lady.
Capt. Caraker performs his duties with punctil

the rigours of the climate to which they have
gone for the purpose of driving from our borders
a cruel, barbarous, invading foe. The health and

comfortable overcoats. But we are destitute of

Newton county, held at Covington the 6th inst.,
did me the honor to place me in nomination for
the office of Governor of the State of Georgia, at
the aproaching election. I have occasionally seen,
within two or three months past, in the gazettes
of the State, anonymous articles suggesting the
same thing, but regarding them only as the ex
pressed preference of a few partial friends, not
iike'.y to induce concerted action. I did not feel
called on to reply.
But now, that a public meeting of my fellow-
citizens, assuming to speak for one ot the most
respectable, influential counties of Middle Geor
gia, have formally nominated me, and asked foi
me the suffrages of the whole people, continued
silence on my part will probably be construed in-
to acquiescence in a candidacy. Fully appreci
ating the distinguished honor with which that of
flee invests its incumbent, and profoundly grateful
to those who have adjudged to me worthy of it 1
nm*l, novortl»<iI6ei», rctiro from the position in
which they have placed me.
It is due to those valued friends that I should
not thus thwart their purpose, without assigning
a reason for so doing. To say that I do not desire
the office, and that there are probably others who
would less reluctantly and more worthily fill it,
would, I think, entitle me to their indulgence.
But I stop not there. The names of many dis
tinguisbed Georgians have been proposed by their
friends, for the same office—so many that the pub
lic mind is really embarrassed, distracted. It is
rery desirable, in the present condition of public
iffairs, that there should be no heated contest for
office—as little division among our people ns pos
ble -
The great struggle for independence, in which
we are now engaged, should compose all strifes,
unite all hearts.coucentrate in one locus all minds.
But how are we to escape from the dilemma in
this election/ A Convention, without a distinc
tion of old parties, is proposed. Bat it is appar-
nt that many are opposed to this measure, aud
there is a doubt whether it will give general satis
faction. I sincerely hope that in this or some oth
r way, public opinion may be concentrated upon
some worthy citizen, who, on taking the oath of
office, shall look neither upon vanquished oppo
nent nor disaffected voter. I verily believe that
the best service I can render in the piemises, is the
unqualified withdrawal of my name from the long
list of the proposed.
This is not ali. If my services, in the position
I now- occupy, have not been acceptable to my
fellow-citizens, there is little hope that I could
make them so iu the higher one just alluded to.—
If they have b-en so, 1 respectfully submit that
frequent changes on tho bench of the Supreme
Court ought, as a matter of State policy, to be
avoided There ought to be p more pressing ne
cessity than can exist ill this case, to justify the
transfer of a fudge, against his will, to a higher
position. All will be charitable and just euougli
to understand me, not as assuming that the people
desire thus to transfer me. but as addressing those
who propose to attempt the transfer.
The term for which I was elected has nearly ex
pired If it be the pleasure of the appointing pow
er to renew my commission, so let it oe. If not,
it is better that I return to the retirement whence
I came to the bench. 1 have frankly stated my
opinions, and my wishes, and am certain I shall
not in vain, ask my worthy friends of Newton
county, and others elsewhere, to let my name dis
appear entirely from the competition tor nomina
tion and for election to the Executive Chair.

Patriotic.—A gentleman from Deeatnr, Alabama,
informs the Xashville Patriot that lie saw at that place
four young men, from Lauderdnle county, on their
way to Virginia to join the 4th Alabama Regiment.
Each one hail a brother killed in the battle of Manas
sas, aud each one went to take his dead brotuer’s place
in the ranks. A nation represented by such men as
these cannot be conquered.
Menacing Hostility of the English Oovernment
and Press towards the United States.—The New
York Herald, of Friday las', has an editorial with
tbe above captions, of wbieu the following is the
conclusion:
We learn by this arrival that Kingston, in Can
ada, is to be made a naval as well as a mili’ary
station, aud that a naval force is to be stationed on
the lakes. Does this look like neutrality/ We
further learn that the English Government has
sent out reinforcements to her already immense
fleet npon our coast, numbering some thirty ships
—two of them ships-of-the-liue, DO guns; several
of them frigates, and most of them armed with
the powerful Armstrong cannon. The whole
number of guns is now about 5011—a force, con
sidering the quality of tbe ships and armament,
more than sufficient to break the blockade iu every
port, and sink our whole fleet. Thanks to the
imbecility of the Navy Department at Washing
ton. Then there is the powerful French squadron
here, which we arc assured will co operate with the
English, because the exports of France in wine
and other articles have fallen oil’ more than one-
b-ilf in consequence of the interruption ot the
American trade by tlie war and because, with
out the tobacco which French agents are now
buying up in Virginia, the whole financial system
of the French Government would be deranged—a
vast propotion of its income beiug derived from tin-
duty ou that article. We are informed by Lord
Palmerston's organ that a perfect understanding
on the subject has been arrived at as to the com
bined action of the two Governments towards that
of America, and that “this co-operation is (o be
prosecuted on both sea and l ir,d." Yet we do not
believe the Emperor of the French will take any
step hostile or injurious to us, unless the English
Government leads the way. Miould England
enter npon such a dangerous career, she will rue
the day-t hat her rulers have committed her to a
deadly struggle with this young giant Republio.
CAPTURE OF FEDERAL CAVALRY.
Richmond, Aug. 22.—The Washington corres
pondent ot the Baltimore Exchange, says that
two squadrons of Federal Cavalry were captured
by the Confederates some days ago, within two
miles of Alexandria.
New York, Aug. 22.—The New York Tribune
says that private advices liave been received here
from Kentucky- which say that the Union men in
that State are rapidly receiving their arms. Four
or five regiments are now ready for service.
FOREIGN INTERVENTION IN AMERICAN
AFFAIRS.
Washington, Aug. 22d.—Intelligence has been
received here of the inteniion of England. France,
ami .-pain, to actively interfere in Mexican affairs.
It is also stated that the action of these Govern-
meats isentended to embrace in some shape, the
recognization of the Southern Confederacy, if the
assuiance can be had that the South will not at
tempt any conquest in the direction of Mexico.
NEW YORK AFFAIRS.
New York. August 23.—Tho steamer North
Star has arrived.
George Miles, of Petersburg, and John Garnet
Guthrie, of Richmond, collecting agents for to
bacco houses, have been arrested and sent to Fort
Lafayette.
Guthrie is a heavy dealer, and has heavy con
signments in New York, Philadelphia, and Haiti
more. Heraised §114,1160 on shipments, which
through friends and agents, he invested in Con
federate and and Southern States’ bands.
Miles was agent tor .Tames: Thomas, and had
collected $25,008. He had also made a liberal in
vestment in Confederate bonds.
About $175,000 was recovered from Guthrie
and Miles, principally in bonds and sight drafts,
Virginia paper money, and $1,000 in gold. A
number of letters addressed to persons in the
Southern States, were found upon their persons.
New York, Aug. 23.—The Washington corres
pondent of the Tribune says tlie Provost Marshal
flatly refused a pass to Mr. Russell to cross the
Potomac.
Washington. Aug. 23.—It is rumored that the
New York Daily News, and tbe Day Book, are to
be suppressed by the Government.
It is intimated that tbe Government will no
longer allow Kentucky to remain neutral.
Potnh r and Tjcad in Xorth Carolina.—
We learn from tlie Raleigh Journal that
Gov. Clark recently ordered Professor
Emmons on an exploring tour, with a view
to ascertain whether and where a supply
of lead and the essential elements of pow
der, suited to the present exigencies could
be obtained ; and the result is most cheer
ing. Prof. Emmons reports that he is ful
ly satisfied that enough oftlie munitions
of war can be obtained to slioot all the
Yankees and tyrants in the world. In
view of this, so satisfactory are the pros
pects, that a company has already com
menced, or will soon commence, the erec
tion of a powder mill at a suitable point
in North Carolina, Gov. Clark having
contracted for a large quantity of powder
at a fixed price.

Thii Vile Wnr !
We give the following from the Concord (N. II )
Standard of the 3rd, as the article which caused
that paper to be mobbed :
‘Men of New England! Iris a war waged
against your interests, your pockets, your future
prosperity: the welfare of your families, the fn
tore ot your wives and little children. The sad
loss of life at Bull Run—nay the thousands ot
brave heaits which are yet to be sacrificed, it
Black Republican demagogues and treasury plun
derers are permitted to carry out tht ir programme
of blood—are but as a feather m the balance when
weighed against the demoralization, the prostra
tion, the. crushing destruction, which this infernal
war will surely bring upon every New England
home. Fathers I God protect your dear wives
aud helpless children who will have to suffer most
from this infamous, fratricidal war.
Rich men—those who are reputed to be such
Where is your fancied wealth ? Y\ hat is your
real estate worth, to-day ? Where can you find a
purchaser for it. at anything like its cost. ? Where
can you find one at any price / Will your in
comes pay insurance and taxes, if tins miserable
war continues until next May ?
Men of moderate means. Where is your in
come to-day ? What store keeper in Concord has
made enough for the past fortnight to pay his bus
iness expenses, to say nothing of those of his fam
ily ? Have your profits paid the grocer, tlie baker,
the butcher / If they have, then the deserted
streets of this city, for the past fourteen days, have
lied, and yet you have only begun to get a peep at
the beginning of the end. If this cursed, nigger
war continues auother twelvemonth, grass will
grow in Main Street. Even the government tax-
gathers will not be able to tread it down, for by that
time, may be, you will have ceased to be able to
pay their demands, and their occupation will be
gone.
You must then repudiate, willing or unwilling.
Mechanics 1 You like to read about the war, per
haps. in the unreliable sensation city press. You
would have rejoiced over a different result at Bull
Run—exulted at a successful northern forward
march to Richmond. But reflect a moment, se
riously—reflect I Would that have done more
than gratify your sectional pride, or political ani
mosity / Would it have tended to revive your
crippled business / Would it lmve ensured to
you better wages for the coming fall and winter,
fuel for your firesides, food and raiment for your
loved ones ? Think seriously about this. Look
at the taxes which this damnable war is daily
piliug upon your shoulders—count the figures—
mark tlie plunderers who have plunged their arms
to their pits in the public treasury, while our sol
diers starve and go almost naked—count the cost,
if you know how to do sums in simple addition—and
then answer, how long do you expect to stand it!
Will it pay ?
Poor men—you who depend on your daily labor
for your support, God help you I We feel for you.
because we are one of you. Where do we find
our dollar a day now, unless we enlist as officers
for this plundering war ? Where shall we find our
shilling a day if it conlinues six months longpr,
when the frosts and snows of another winter fall
around us and our families?
In this city, not a day has passed for the last
week but what the family of tli" writer of this ar
ticle has been called on to give bread to famishing
children—on two occasions to honest appearing,
grown men, out of work and without a cent.
They would be glad to labor, but they cannot find
a chance in the present general stagnation.*—
Where are our charitable associations? Let them
arouse themselves—nay, even now at midsummer,
when poverty never before asked alms in Concord
This crying shame—one of the results of this
Devil’s war—has got to be met This money
which has been contributed for tracts which they
will never read—the liberal eontribu'ions which
have been made for under-clothing, for havelocks,
for lint which cowardly, run away surgeons didn’t
stop to use at Centreville—all these contributions
must soon be made over and over again, ten times
and ten times ten times, for the benefit of our suf
fering poor. Again we say, God help them, for
our city and town authorities don’t do it. Already
the alms houses are not large enough.”
Lithographic -Stone.—A short time since tlie
Charleston Courier made inquiries concerning the
Lithographic Stone, a quarry of which, it says,
was opened some years ago in Alabama, asking
whether it had been worked, and if the stone was
now to be procured in tlie market. In answer to
these inquiries, a friend informs us that a quarry
was opened some years since on the land of Dr.
Henry McKenzie, of Talladega county, and that
the stone obtained was pronounced equal to the
best lithographic stone in use. We ptesutne tlie
quarry has not been worked recently as the busi
ness of lithographing has been left almost entirely
to the Yankees, but under present circumstance
we have no doubt the owner of the quarry would
find it greatly to his advantage to re-open it and
bring the stone into market. We are informed
that it can easily be obtained in large quantities.
—Montgomery (Ahi ) Adcertiser, August 1!).7».
The Habeas Corpus in Washington.
—A writ of hub can corpus was applied
for in Washington on Tuesday last and
issued by Judge Wayne, of the United
States Supreme Court, directing Colonel
Gorman, of the 1st Minnesota reginTent,
to produce the body of a certain Stevens,
a soldier of his regiment. It appears that
the men of this regiment originally en
listed for three months, aud about three
hundred of them are determined to resist
the attempt made to detain them for three
years. The Deputy Marshal who served
the writ made his return to the Court, and
stated that the officer refused to obey the
writ and cursed and swore roundly, dam
ning the courts and all civil authorities.
An attachment was issued by Judge
Wayne, the result of which was, that Col.
Gorman made his appearence with the sol
dier.
The New York Express, in an article on the of
ficial report of the battle of Manassas, remarks :
The more we hear of the conJuctof some of our
officers ami men at Bull Run, the more we are in
clined to let the curtain drop on the whole affair,
and cry out with the Thane of Cawdor, "Bring in
no more reports.” **»#»»
With disclosure of this discreditable character
crowding upon us, we think the reader will sym
pathize with the wish we have already expressed
that Bull Run should drop as soon as possible into
oblivion. The country has heard enough of it.
“Bring in no more reports.”
An “Efficient" Blockade.—The brig Santa Clara,
captured by the Jeff Davis, arrived in our port
yesterday morning, in charge ol Capt. Stone,
prize master. She was at the time of her capture,
bound from New York from Forto Rico. Her
cargo consists of 201 hogsheads and 75 barrels of
suguar, and 40 hogsheads of molasses Hurrah
for Abraham’s blockade!—Sac. News, 2iW.
It appears bytbe examination of the two Volunteer
bills that the President has power to call l,(MX*,000 men
intothe field, although that extent of authority was not,
it is believed, designated.
The express states that Mr Greely, of the Tribune,
has been very ill of bruin fever, but is now recover-
ering.
A voice from Long Island.—We find the follow
ing cnmmuncation from Long Island in the New
York News: I he battle of Bull Run lias its effect
in the North for peace, if I may judge other coun
ties by old Suffolk.
The Democracy of old Suffolk are working man
fully against this inhuman, political war, this war
to break up the Union, to trample our once glori
ous Constitution underfoot. We are not afraid of
