Tuesday Morning, September 10, 1801. • The War on llic Bnnli* revived.’» IVj.T the above head, a writer in the Augusta , , u .-;tutiona!ist labors through more than a c nnin of special pleading and sophistry, in the vi ; n endeavor to cover up and hide the truth of a . ;ort sentence which appeared in this paper The ;rnth must be very troublesome to the bauxites. „lien they take such pains to conceal it. It must ;. very powerful, when it requires a whole column •t hank logic to combat six hues of plain truth, lint v.e will state the issue between ourselves and n attorney for the banks, and let the people de- -.vliich has made a true statement, for we ad- D .: that both cannot be true. The sentence h gave rise to the column ol special pleading •, the part of the banks was as follows: “We ask , honest rotrrs of Georgia to look bark anil review the numerous conflicts betircen the Governor and the is'.j. and other monied corporations, and see if ■ r uts hare not slioicn that the Governor was right, eedteas i« oil of them the true friend of the people." p; s was the whole sentence which brought forth a:, linlerof more than a column from the bank r.; n. In the rejoinder the writer says : “In look. : z hack we first find a conflict between the Gov ernor and the banks, which proved in the result il.at the Governor was on one side and nearly all the people on the other. We refer to his famous veto message of 1857.” Now, if the writer really did find as the result of the veto message, that the Governor was on one side and nearly all the pe .ple on the other, he found what we suspect no PtLer man in Georgia ever found before. It has n generally admitted that the people sustained i* i jv. Brown in his veto message of 1857. But h tunately for the truth we are not left to conjec- • i e in this matter. In the political campaign nii . ii followed, the bank question was made the miii: 1- ue. and the people sustained Gov. Brown •gainst the whole influence of the banks, by the .ncest majority evei given to any Governor in • .. State, in a contested election. This the pub ic records will show. IIow then can this writer maintain that on that issue the Governor was on ne side and nearly all the people on the other? We admit that in nearly all of his controversies with the banks, a majority of the Legislature lias b.-en against Gov. Brown. But this is a very dif ferent tiling from a majority of the people. Ti e p-nple and the members of the Legislature have generally differed on the subject of banks. The people frequently elect men to the Legislature who are bound to the banks, but the people do not know it at the time of the election. I’robably more than one half the Legislature are frequently ao directly interested in banks that they w ould no! be competent to serve on a jury when a case agaiust the banks was on trial. There are many t ank officers and attorneys who receive large fees from the hanks, and mauy men who owe the banks more than it is convenient to pay, in the Legislature, besides those who own a large amount of stock. All of these men would be di rectly interested in a question of bank suspen s on. Their interest would be directly involved in - issue, and if men are generally biased by their interest, it is not surprising that most of these men should vote for the banks against Gov. brown. But a large majority of the people are not under this strong bias, and therefore they 1 ave stood by the Governor against the banks. But the bank man says that the people elected another Legislature friendly to bank suspension. This is true, but the people did rot intend it. In many counties they kept those at home who had voted for the former suspension, and sent those whom they believed would sustain the Governor, but many of the new delegates deceived the people who elected them. They were under bank milueuees when elected, or were brought under soon after. It is this assurance which the bank men feel, that they can always control a majority .:' tl.e Legislature, which makes them so dange rou*. Many others besides the editors of the C hrqn cle & Sentinel have found out that opposi- TIm- Krai Objection to CSov. Brown. Lvery intelligent man iu Georgia knows that the third term about which some of the Bank men make such a fuss, is all a pretence and a humbug. They don’t want Gov. Brown because they can t manage him as they please. They want a very soft, pliable man that they can twist about like a nose of wax. What they say about a third term is merely to deceive and draw off the attention of the people from their real object Gov. McDonald was nominated for a third term by the Southern Lights party, and no one object ed to him on that account. He was defeated he cause his party was iu the minority, not because he run a third time. This objection has been raised against Gov. Brown because they can’t find anything else to say against him. Our Coaal Drlruec*. Gov. Brown with Gen. Wayne, and Capt. Mc Intosh of the Navy, left here last Saturday morn ing on a tour of inspection. They will be joined in Savannah by Commodore Tattnall, and proceed down the coast to examine the state of onr pre paration to give a warm reception to any of Oid Abe’s thieves, who may take it into their heads to visit the coast of Georgia. Our people through- cut the State may prepare for such a visit during the coming Fall and Winter. They know the cnaracter of the enemy, and their reception should be every way worthy of their character. Wo may probably find out before next January that Gov. Brown has not been one whit too careful of the guns belonging to the State. Wf ni'Iinowlr(lt;r Ilie corn. Ihrrr is one ex cept ion. In a recent article we made the following state ment, which was then strictly true: lie hare, never list found a man in Georgia who denier! that Gor. Itroicn had done well, all admit that hr has made a first rate. Governor. The Savannah Re publican of oth inst., denies our whole proposition. He says "we believe Georgia never had a Governor tr,ho managed her affairs with less ability, and cer tainly she has nerer had one who made us oftenrr the laughing slock of the whole intelligent public." We hasten to make the correction, we have found one man, viz. the editor of the Savannah Republican, ihat denies that Gov. Brown has done any thing well. We admit, also, that Gov. Brown has, no doubt, unintentionally, made the editor of the Re publican “the laughingstock of the whole intelli gent public.” If the editor of the Republican chose to show his spite and spleen, and make a Judy of himself generally, how could the Gov ernor help it ? Ilovv can any man expect to avoid being a laughing stock to the public, when he makes such assertions as this : “ Not one of his (the Governor's) recommendations has been approved and adopted, every solitary one since he went into office has been toted down.” These strange assertions were iu the Savannah Republican on the5th inst, when the records of the country will show that a great many of Gov. Brown’s recommendations have been approved and acted upon, and are now the law of the land. Mil Cloth. Messrs. Cyphers & Kidd of this city are in the daily receipt of orders for their oil cloth garments for the soldiers. They are now prepared to fill all orders on short notice. They have made a large number cf coats, blankets, &c., which, so far as we have been able to hear. Lave given entire sat isfaction. We would suggest to gentlemen hav ing large linen sack coats that they send them to Messrs. Cyphers & Kidd to have them made water-proOf and send them to our soldiers. WilkiitMou County. It will be seen by a communication, in to-day’s issue, over the signature of “Wilkinson,” that this county is doing her duty nobly. She has sent about 400 men to the war, subscribed about 2500 bales of cotton, raised by voluntary contributions near ly $8000, and has levied, by the Inferior Court, a tax of about $9900. O. A. Lochrane, Esq., of Macon, has been appointed bv Governor Brown, to fill the unex pired term of Judg. Lamar on the Bench of the Macon Circuit. Mud Arf-idml. We have received a letter from Laurens Hill, ion to the banks don’t pay, and peiliaps a few j stating that a young man by the name of may have found out the converse of this rule, at any r»te the hanks have fur many years refused to redeem their bills whenever they pleased, and a majority of the Legislature have sustained them against tne known wishes of the people. But this bank man says nobody has been hurt by their suspension. He reminds us of one Abe Lincoln, who amidst the crash and ruin which had been brought upon the country, facetiously declared that “nobody was hurt.” lie, being like Lincoln, one f the few that had been benefited, could not feel that: cv one was hurt- lie probably had never been torced to pay from 3 to 5 percent for exchange, and bring connected with a bank or a rail road, •:>s never been taxed from 10 to 25 per cent at a ticket office for not making change. If this is tho best showing which the bank men can make for their client, their case is a very ■ad one Their special pleading is like their mk bills, fair upon the face, but false and decep tive when put to the test. They promise to pay ’ is bearer on demand, but when the demand is mad-*, the money don't come. The bank men pruuisotodo great things for the country, but upon investigation, it turns out that they are i ring gieat things for themselves. H hi the People will vole for tfar. Brown. The people intend to re-elect Gov. Brown be cause they believe he cau manage the affairs of the State daring the next two years better than any other man that can be elected. I his is reason enough, without any other. In less than six m mths it .s highly probably our State will be in- T aded by a merciless and vindictive enemy. Gov. brown has been at the helm tor the last tour years *ud knows our resources of men and money b«‘t t*r than any other man in the State. The people know his energy, his industry, his iron will, his honesty and his pure patriotism. These are the 'cry qualities that will he wanted to meet the ‘'•’i'ii. The Governor of Georgia for the next two .'cars, w ill have a load of responsibility upon his •boulders that would crush any ordinary man I be people have tried Joe Brown, and they know that ho can sustain almost any load that can be P aced upon him. As has been well said by tlie sagacious editor of the Corner Stone, Gov. Brown 15 cither a very good judge ot men, or he lias been tcniarkably lucky, for he lias generally placed the fight man in tbe right place. This is a very im- poriaut qualification iu such times as we are ap- proaching. Noordinary man will do. We must kave a man at the helm of the State, that is not afraid of lesponsibility, but will decide and act at °uce When everything is at stake, men ought b* lay aside their old prejudices and old maxims 4,1, i put that man at tho helm who can steer the Elbert Lamb came to his death, a few days since by the accidental discharge of his gun. How- many accidents occur by the careless use of fire arms ! It appears that tills gentleman was at tempting to reach a bunch of grapes with one hand, and sat his gun down below him with the other; it is supposed the sudden jar caused the o-nn to go off lodging the entire contents in his left side, killing him almost instantly. LARGE Corn.—Mr. E. Chandler has presented us with 10 ears of corn weighing 15 pounds. I'lir Convention to inert on rtlursilay. As yet we have received reports of only about tbiriy counties that have appointed delegates.— There will probably be others represented by vol unteers, by proxies and by Hocus Pocus. Iu no county meeting to appoint delegates so far as we have he*rd, were one fifth of the voters present, in many counties, less than twenty men got up and managed the whole affair—they appointed large delegations that they might make a great show, and this will be called an imposing demon stration. It is imposing, and was intended to impose on the people. But will the people be im posed upon ? Not many of them. They know that tlieir old friend Gov. Brown, is in the field as the independent People's candidate. They have tried him and know that he will do, and they will vote for him in spite of the caucuses, and Conven tions of the Bank men. j:pe R t . v c -\v.

Communicated. ATHENS, Ga., Sept. Cth, 18G1. Gentlemen : We must have Hon. Joseph E Brown for our next Governor, regardless of conventions and nominations. He has proven himself worthy and wiU be elected again. Many of both the old par ties will give him their suffrage and they want no one else. No doubt bank men will oppose him, but we might as well have this issue now. for it must come sooner or later. Our country has been duped quite long enough by designing men, and now this is is an age for reformation. Use all your efforts to put Brown forward, as there are many of tho Pi ess led by the nose by bank men Respect ful ly, MANY VOTERS oi Clarkfe, Jackson, and adjoining counties, PUBLIC MEETING.

Stetson, or either of the com mittee and who will inform the ladies what they can prepare to subserve the best purpose. bosoms, the hardships of warfare, and the duty of those, who are permitted to remain at home, to ex ert all their powers to relieve, in every possible way, the trials of those who are perilling every thing dear, to save, and to tiansmil to posterity, tlie liberties that have been purchased for u.s by the toils of our revolutionary sires, and cemented with their blood. These letters were written in the nnresfrained confidence of friendship,.and only intended for the domestic circle, with no thought of their ever meeting the public eye—but extracts from them will do good, in shewing the material of which our Southern Army is composed, and in enlisting our prayers and our efforts in behalf of the sons and relatives of our friends and neighbors, whom we know and love. A young soldier from Milledgeville writes to his sister as follows : “I have read your letter very carefully and with much interest, and will keep it and read it again, for it accords with tny own ideas of life. I am now in my twenty-first year, and it is becoming a time when I should begin to think and act fur myself. There is milch in a large camp like ours to injure a young man in many respects ; the men are becoming*verv reck less on account of the time and fatigue of *our tainp. I lead a hard life, but one that I am not dissatisfied with, for there is an under current through ail of this, which is a spirit of patriotism that compensates me for any fatigue or hardship that I endure. * * * We have moved many times since we left Winchester, and have marched about through the country, and are now encamped three miles from Manassas. Our tents have reach ed us at last, and we are under good shelter. * * Winter seems to be fast approaching high up here among tlie mountains. The nights are fast get ting cool, and the rain is cold. The weather is damp and disagreeable. * * The anxiety you shew for me, my sister, is very consoling to me. and wherever I am and in whatever situation I am placed, 1 still kuow that I am cared for and thought of by my family and friends at home.” Another young sollierin Virginia from Milledge- ville, writes to his sister as follows: “I could write to you a volumue describing to you the hardships and privations of a soldier’s life in this cold moun tainous country ; but it would be only the repeti tion of a “thrice told tale, ’ and is the burden of many ft letter which reaches home. It would shock some of our sensitive young gentlemtn, who stay at home, to think of the number of men who die from hardships, and the consequence sickness An Alabama Regiment near us. has in three weeks lost It? men. The 11th Regiment, Geoigia Vol unteers in onr vicinity has lost in 25 days 41? men. The truth is that at at! hours ot the day the dull sound of a plattuon over the grave of some poor soldier, strikes upon the ear. The Regiment to which belongs buried two men yesterday — The world can never know of the poor fellows who have sickened and died, when a little atten tion and the roughest comforts at home would have saved the mail’s life. Every one is stirred to tlieir innermost depths of National pride at the news of the battle of Manassas. All Geoigia mourns the loss ot the brave fellows who fell from the 7th and 8th Regiments : and yet both combined did not lose as many as the II th, and that too infighting a foe more insidious, and therefore, more to be dreaded foe. But who in Georgia ever hears of the 1 i tli Regiment or of their dead. History too will neglect them, but many a vacant place around their firesides and the rough pile and rude carving on wood or stone at their heads will call upon the careless passer by to pause an’d view the resting place of a poor soldier. Do not for oue one moment think I am disheartened or low-spirited. I endeavor to take the matter with as light a heart as I can. A young soldier in Virginia writes to his moth er in Milledgeville : “We arrived at. the Manassas Junction just after the battle was ended. It was a matter of great mortification and annoyance to me that the rest of our Brigade were engaged iu the battle and we were not. but we could not help it. On arriving at Manassas we immediately commenced a march of ti miles to Bull Run, near the battle giound, and encamped. As soon as our guns were stacked each mess commenced to make a tent out of the green branches of trees to shelter ns from the lain, and our fire being made, each ot ns laid down upon the ground to sleep. We are still encamped in the same place, and the weather is fine, and our tent is a good one. I am becom ing accustomed to this kind of life and do not mind it much. On the hill behind our camp lies the battle field, about half a mile off and extend ing several miles at length. I went up on Tues day evening and walked for several miles up and down the battlefield, and truly it was a sight that I shall long remember. The field was covered with the dying, the dead and the wounded. Nearly all of our troops were moved off and buried by tlieir friends. The number ot the enemy’s dead on the field was truly very great, and the correct statement of the dead, I suppose, will never he given. All of the Northern men were dressed very well and with their haversacks full of provisions. They seemed very neat in their wearing apparel. It was certainly the flower of the Northern army. The wounded men that I spoke to seemed to give no excuse for fighting against us. and appeared to have done so unwillingly. Nevertheless they fought very bravely. Around the point where the Shetman battery was taken, the men and horses lay together iu great heaps, and all seemed to have died at their guns before they were taken. Some had died as it were in the act of striking— some suing for mercy—and others in binding up tlieir wounds had crawled off and died. Although they were our eneinios, the sight of the wounded men was euough to melt one’s heart in pity for lliem. All their dead were robbed of tlieir val uables by thousands of camp scavengers : as for me I touched them not—there was something ap- paling in robbing the dead * # * You might have seen a brother who belonged to our army weeping bitterly and wringing his hands over the stiff and blackened corpse of his brother who had fallen on the other side. It was a sight truly pit eous to behold. The poor fellow was shewing us some of his brothers letters to him, full of kind ness. This civil war is a terrible thing. Every house for miles around is converted into a hospital. * * * * It is said that Bartow called out for our men in the battle when he was wounded, but we were far away from him. As a compensation for our absence from ihe battle we have the promise of being the head and front of the next battle.” I close these extracts, which I have been greatly tempted to continue, with the simple enquiry, can we consent that such soldiers shall be exposed to all the liabilities of military life without doing every thing in our power to minister to their com fort, and to mitigate the perils to which they are exposed ? T. of State through the breakers. We believe a b1e person to represent the County in the House ‘ n all sincerity, that four fifths of the people of Georgia believe in their hearts that Gov.

Sept. 3rd MANY CITIZENS. For the Southern Federal L?nion. Messrs. Editors: Having seen nothing from old Wilkinson of her actiug and doing in regard to the war, &c., I concluded to make a few state ments through your paper. altho’ a weekly, yet the most reliable when it does come, and decided ly tbe most popular in this section for its manli ness and boldness in opposition to a power which is now crowding the people of Georgia worse than any on* power—I mean the Bank influence. Wilkinson has now about 4(l(t men in the War. She subscribed about 2500 bales of cotton; has raised by voluntary subscription nearly $81100, and has, through her Inferior Court, levied a Tax of about $!?000 to be collected by our Tax Collector; this was humiliating, yet it had to be done to reach some in our county who are worth their thousands, and who have never contributed anything, if any, not more than $30 or $50, and yet holding thous ands in ready cash, that they refuse to give, or loan to those that would give, and it may be, waiting till the property c.f the liberal, or even poor soldier, might be put upon the block, and then, the Bonds being closed, buy it in for nothing. I hope this is not so ; yet there is money enough From the Savannah Morning News. Operations on the Potomac. We are doubtless on the eve of stirring events, It is belioved the Generals in command of the Army of the Potomac are now ready for a for ward movement, and already have the advanced posts of both armies been in conflict. On Mon day last the Maryland iegiment took possession of Munson's Hill, two miles from Bailey’s Cross Roads, near Alexandria. This j movement was followed, on Tuesday, by the occupation of Ma son's Hill, by the advanced Confederate forces, under General Longstreet, probably four or five thousand strong. The advance guard, consisting of two companies of the Maryland reigment, and four companies of Col. Hill's (Virginia) regimpnt, had quite an animated skirmish with about four hun dred Federals, who retired before them, leaving ten on the field. Our loss was about six killed and wounded. All day Wednesday our troops were under arms expecting momentarily to be ordered to the sup port of Longstreet, who had every reason to an ticipate an attack. Thus stands the case at last accounts. I have a letter dated 29th, from a member of Col. Williams’ regiment, (First Georgia Regi ment,) which has been stationed hitherto about a mile and a half from Head quarters, Manassas J unction, saying: “We are just ordered to prepare for a march with three day’s cooked provisions—there is a rumor a fight has been going on in the direction ot Fairfax Court House.” The Position of the Cotafrtlerntea. [From Special Dispatch of the Pliiia. Inquirer.] Washington, Aug. 29.—It is more than likely that in tho course of the next tivo days there will be some important military movements in the immediate vicinity of Washington. It will be interesting, theretore, to know the exact po sition of the enemy's forces. With the aid of the maps of the vicinity of Washington, heretofore I ublished in the Inquirer, the reader will be able to follow our description. It must be borne in mind that it is now five weeks since the defeat ot our army at Bull Run ; that that defeat has had the effect of an electric shock throughout the whole South; that it has aroused the enthusiasm of the South to a higher pitch than ever; that, during the last five weeks troops have been pour ing into Virginia from all the other Southern States; that the Confederates have nowin arms, according to their own accounts, forces distribu ted about as follows : No. of men. Beauregard’s forces, west of Washington, 89.000 Johnston's forces, at or near Leesuurg, 40,000 Magruder's forces at Acquia Creek and Fredericksburg, 20,000 At batteries on Potomac, York, James and Rappahannock rivers, 12,000 At Yorktown, 12,000 At Norfolk and Portsmouth, 10,000 At Richmond. 5 000 Forces ot Generals Lee and Floyd, in Western Virginia, 50,000 At Lynchburg (Camp of Instruction,) 10,000 Total, 239.000 The disposition of the forces in the immediate vicinity of Washington is apparently in the form of a crescent, the horns resting near the Chain Bridge and Shooter's Hill, and the crescent near Ball’s and Bailey’s Cross Roads. There are strong detachments at Falls Clinrch, at Vienna, at Fairfax, at Centreville and at Germantown. The great Parrott gun captured by the enemy at Pull's Run has been brought up by them to Bai ley's Cross Roads, and was placed in a position there yesterday behind their intrencbmenls. It is nut believed, however, that these preparations in dicate any design of an immediate attack on Washington, but only a closer approach to it on all sides, in order to be ready for ail attack, if that measure is finally decided on. RECONNOISANCE AND NEW POSITIONS. Washington. August 29.—Matters near the Un ion line on the Virginia side of the Potomac re main pretty much as they were yesterday. The enemy still continue to show themselves near our pickets, and occasionally fire at them. No move ment of importance, however, has yet been made by our troops. The enemy have not only established their old line of pickets, as before tbe battle of Bull Run, but have actually encroached upon the territory in the countv to relieve the wants of everybody, ; formerly held by ns, nearly one-half mile nearer but it can’t'be bad at any sacrifice, but tot e 1 tonifications.

WILKINSON. Richmond. Sept. 6.—Passengers from Manas sas, by the afternoon train, report that a courier reached there yesterday forenoon with the news that Shnter’s Hill near Alexandria, was taken by the Confederates on Wednesday. The Federals loss in killed and wounded was 400, with 399 prisoners. The Conlederate loss was 120 in killed and wounded. Col. Wheat who fought so bravely and was wounded so badly at the battle of Manassas Plains, has arrived in this city and is much improved. Canvas Shoes for the Army — The Quartermas ter General's Department in Richmond has receiv ed there 5009 of a new kind of Shoes, of a rather curious description, that promises to answer well in the great scarcity of shoe leather. The upper portions of the shoe are made of canvas instead of leather. The canvas is prepared so as to make it impervious to the weather, and is said to equal in comfort, durability, and all respects of wear, the best of shoe leather Cross Roads. Proceeding from this point, over tilled fields and through heavy woods, the line of pickets continue to Munson's Hill, one and a quarter miles from Bailey’s Cross Roads, on the Leesburg turnpike. On this hill the enemy are constructing works, cannon at the southerly face of the hill, from which for the past few days they have kept up a desultory fire on our troops at Baiiey's Cross Roads. Proceeding in a north western direction from Munson's Hiil, ahont one and a half miles, we reach a small mountain, the summit of which commands the country for four miles around, overlooking the famous Union works at Arlington. The mountain three days ago was in the easy grasp of our troops, but since that time has been seized by the rebels, and upon it they are constructing large fortifications. This point is of immense strategical value to the rebels, in obstructing tbe march of our troops inso the interior of the State, should such a meas ure be adopted. From this mountain the enemy’s line ot pickets stretch along, in a northwesterly direction, to the faim of Basil Hall, and from there, iu a westerly direction, to a point opposite Chain Bridge. Along the route referred to, the enemy have several depots of supplies and rein forcements, at least three new fortifications, and probably double that number concealed and under construction. From a personal reconnissance, made by onr special correspondent, of the enemy’s force at Munson's Hill, he discovered that it consisted of seven hundred cavalry, oue thousand infantry, and three pieces of field cannon. Of all these rebel movements Gen. McClellan is fully apprised, and he will, no doubt, when tbe proper time ar rives, pay his respects to the enemy. NOf.RIKRS RELIEF SOflETV.

I.ettcr» from Ihr Arm). Army of the Potomac, ? Alanassas, Aug. 29. j The eyes of the whole Confederacy are turned to this point; every one is anxious to hear from Alanassas : and yet there is very little news—that is. very little that it would be wise to publish— All the spies and tories have not yet been weeded out along the Potomac. For many years, the Yan kees have been emigrating to the eastern counties of Virginia, and large numbers of them still re main. They are neither fish, flesh, nor fowl, in this war—a sort ol amphibious creature—political hermaphrodites—who go neither with the South nor with the North. It is necessary, therefore, for correspondents to observe great can'ion in their communications from this point. Virginia is picketted all over with resident traitors, that “na tive and to the manor born,” but the false and ly ing spawn of New England Abolitionism. None of the Southern States are wholly exempt from the presence of these people. They form a kind of connecting wire between the two nations, along which treasonable communication is main tained. And hence the importance, even in the very heart of the cotton States, of preserving a strict watch, not only over these miserable go-be tweens, but over ourselves, lest we speak or pub lish something that might inure to the benefit of the enemy. Of one thing you may rest satisfied—the splen did army now here, has not been raised for mere holiday parade. It is intended for service, and not fora Rpectade. There is work enough before it, and it will not remain idle longer than is nec essary to put it in a eonditicn to move. Many of your readers, doubtless, feel impatient. They long to hear that the army has advanced—that it lias crossed the Potomac, and is driving the ene my out ot Washington. This would he pleasant news to all of us. But they should remember that a great army cannot be extemporised in a few weeks or months. Time, and money, and pa tience are necessary to raise, equip, and prepare for service such au arinv as the Confederacy now has in the field. The future historian will be struck with amazement when he comes to write the history of the present revolution. Never be fore, in alt the former annals of the world, has such a miracle been witnessed as is now passing before our eyes. We behold a revolution accom plished. a Government organized in all its parts, Without bloodshed among ourselves, a magnifi cent army brought upon the field, and two splen did victories won over superior forces, and all within the space cf a few months. The wonder is increased, when we remember, that the enemy with whom we are contending, is provided with a navy, a thorough military organization, a regular established Government, which is recognized by all the world, has means and credit, and outnum bers us two to one. Let your readers then possess their sou’s in patience. A Government and an army, that have already accomplished more than any other Gov ernment and army ever did, in the same time and under the game circumstances, may well be trust ed in the future. To say nothing of the time nec essary to clear the land, it requires a whole year to plant, cultivate, and gather a crop ot cotton, ere your planting friends can realize the proceeds of tlieir labor. Let no man suppose that it requires less time to raise an army, conduct a great war ex tending over a line ot 1,500 miles, and conquer a lasting peace. But let me give yon such non-contraband news, as oue can pick up in this advanced p«>et. The army of the Potomac is divided into two corps d'armce, the first of which is commanded by Gen. Beauregard, and tbe second by Gen. John ston—the whole, however, being under the com niand of Gen Johnston, the Commander-in-Chief in this department. The first corps will take po sition in front for the present. Gen. Toombs commands the Cth Brigade, which is composed of the 1st Geergia Regulars. CoIoiipI Williams : tiie 2d Regiment Georgia Volunteers, Col. Sennnes ; the 15th Regiment Georgia Volun teers, Col. Thomas : and tlie Regiment Geor gia Volunteers, Col. Smith : the last of which has been detached and ordered forward for special service. General Toombs has his headquarters about a mile and a half from this place, on the railway leading hence to Alexandria. It is a pleasant camping giound, and is well supplied with good water. Within a half a mile of his headquarters are the 7tli, 8th. 9th, and 11th Georgia Regiments, under command of Brigadier Gen. Samuel Jones, who is represented to be a good officer. Within a few hundred yards of the depot is the Snmter Flying Artillery. Captain Cutts, from Georgia. This company has been supplied with a battery of six pieces—four brass aud two iron guns—captured from the enemy in the battle of the 21st July. Capt. Cutts has his company out for drill twice every day, and military men speak in high terms of the manner in which he and his men acquit themselves. It is probable that the battery will bo attached to General Toomb’s Bri gade. Gen. Wm. H. Walker arrived here two days ago, and has been assigned to the command of a brigade composed of the (5th. 7th, 8th, and 9tli Louisiana regiments, Maj. Wheat’s battalion of New Orleans Tigers, and a section of the New Orleans Washington Artillery. Among his aids. I notice the gallant Captain ITartstene, of the old U. S. Navy, and Captain Robert Anderson, late of the U. S. Army, and a son of Hon. Jno. W. An- erson. of Savannah. Gen. Walker’s brigade will constitute a part o t the corps d’armce under Gen. Beauregard. Gen eral Toomb’s and General Jone’s brigades wil. forma part of the Second, under General John ston. You will be glad to learn that Lieut. Colonel Gardner’s wound is doing well, and that Lieut. Colonel Stephens, of the J5th Georgia regiment, is improving. They are both in tlie same house Vice President Stephens has been here some days in attendance upon his brother. Did you ever publish the facts connected with the capture of Gen. Gardner ? If not, they will interest your readers. He was struck by a Aliunie hall below the knee, an.1 both bones broken. His regiment, the Sth Georgia, having been compelled to fall back, lie was left on tlie. ground. When tiio enemy came up, four or five Zouaves placed him on a kind of litter about as wide as a plank, and started with him to the rear. This he could not.stand, be ing in great pain; and he did not want to be ta ken prisoner. He told them this frankly, and rather than be carried to Washington, he begged them to take him out aud shoot him ; they declined to do this. When the main body of the enemy moved on, however, he opened a parley with his guard, and told them if they would move him out of the way and take care of him, he would see that no harm should come to them, and that they should ue sent back to their friends. Whether he offered them any other inducement, I cannot say. But they did take care of him, and when the battl*- was over they were all provided for, and sent on to Richmond and thence to Norfolk and Fortress Alonroe, without a parole or conditions of any kind. This was right and honorable to all par ties WELLINGTON. Tribntc of Respect. At a meeting of the “Albany Guards,” held at Camp Jackson, headquarters of tho Fourth Regi merit Georgia Volunteers, near Portsmouth. Yir ginia. on August 3i)tb, 1*61, the following Pre amble and Resolutions were passed unanimously: Whereas, God, in His wisdom, has taken from our midst our comrade in arms, John L. Hill, whose pore patriotism induced him to embrace the first opportunity to offer himself as a volunteer iu tho service of his country, and who lint a few days ago was ill the full vigor of life, and engaged in the active performance of his duties; theretore be it Resolred, That in the death of John L. Hill, we deplore the loss of an energetic and patriotic- soldier, and a trustworthy and noble-hearted young friend. Resolred. That we sincerely sympathise will: his mother and other relatives in their deep affliction, and we tender them our condolenca iu their sad bereavement. Resolred. That a copy of the foregoing be sent to his mother, nnd copies be forwarded to the Mil- ledgevilie papers and the Albany Patriot for pub lication. A. J. Robert, ) » M. E. Vason, ’Committee. B. M.

In July last, Dr. Lewis, the Superin tendent of the State Road, paid into the Treasury, at Milledgeville, SEVENTY- TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS! A day or!two ago; for the month of August, be paid into the Treasury, the sum of SIXTY TIIOUSaNDDOLLARS ! We .gall the attention of the PEOPLE the TAX PAYERS of Georgia to these facts —-fart that even the enemies of Governor Brown dare not dispute. We call their attention especially to them, for the rea son of the war now waging in the State against Governor Brown and his appoin tees to office, forwithhthe defeat of the Governor, rests the hope that the manage ment of the State Road will fall into other hands. That the prosperity of our great State work is owing to the watchful care of Governor Brown; the abilitj', integrity, and untiring—nay, sleepless energy of its worthy Superintendent, Doctor Lew is, must be admitted by every observing man, and every citizen watchiul of tbe management of tbe Road. In bis man agement of the road, the Superintendent has thrown aside, fearlessly and independ ently, every shackle that fastened it, heretofore, to the policy of private corpo rations, entering into no combinations, and governed by no arrangements, that, in the slightest degree, conflicted with its inter ests. The Hoad was, and is the people’s, and its interests alone, neither by coaxing nor threatening, could he be diverted from protecting and maintaining. Governor Brown’s wisdom in the appointment of Dr. Lewis, and other officers of the Road, tlie people will recognize and endorse in his triumphant re-election. We have not a do'.ibt, that those who hunger and thirst after the offices of the State Road, will be sadly disappointed. Turn the present in cumbents out, in their hungry howl; hut no response will come from a majority of the voters of the State itr October, save the one we read of in the Good Book.— “well done thou good and faithful servant.

He says— “And now, addressing myself to the representatives of the people of Kentucky, I protest, in their name, presence, and in the name of constitutional liberty, and in the presence of Ileaven and earth, against all and every of the President’s usurpa tions and unconstitutional and illegal acts; I protest, furthermore, against the prose cution of a war profe'ssedly fertile object of restoring the government—an object utterly impossible of attaiument by such insane means as a war of coercion; and I protest, morever, against Kentucky be ing made the camping ground, or the path way for the movement of forces by either of the belligerents; and I recommend ear nestly to the General Assemby the adop tion of prompt resolutions requiring both belligerents to keep off our soil, and res pect, in good faith, the neutrality which the people of Kentucky, with the unexam pled unanimity, desire to preserve.” Death of Washington King.—Washing ton King, agent of the Adams Express Company, and at one time Mayor of St. Louis, died very suddenly at his resi dence on Tuesday evening.
