The C.acr.
It is contended that Gov. Brown should not he re-
•cred becauseit has not been the usage to elect a
vernor for a third time. Gov Irwin was Gover
nor three terms, but it lias not been the usage, it is
-ue, since that time, neither has it been the usage
ha\e revolutions and a change of government
rith ail invasion of our soil. There is no provis-
n in the old or new Constitution of Georgia
Inch prohibits the same person from holding the
Hire three terms. Gov. Iirown was elected Gov-
rnor twice under the old Constitution of the State
m i while tho Slate was one of the old United
-ute.v Since that time the whole government
ms become completely revolutionized, the State
is gone out ot the old Confederacy and entered
. new Confederacy, and the people of the State
ue even annulled the old State Constitution and
rmed a new State Constitution. In a word old
ing« have passed away and ali things have become
■w. As we are just inaugurating anew govern
.-nt. each citizen of the State is eligible to office
••thuut regard to wliat lie may have held in the
1 government. Gov. Brown, therefore, iias as
such right to bo Governor under the new Gov-
rnni lit as any other man in the State, and as he
mows all about tbe duties of the office, and on
• ■■•uiit of his experience in the place, can dis-
l urge them better than any new man, and
is we are now in the midst of tbe revolution,
“lien a change is unsafe, the people have a l ight
require him to remain in the office tor another
■fun.
Tennessee lias acted upon the same principle
•-cisely, and the people, by a majority of over
irty thousand, have, at the ballot box, required
11 v. Harris to serve for a third term, when the
•age there, as well as here, has bec-n for the
c' man to hold the place only two terms,
since the days of Gen. Jackson, it lias been
■ unbroken usage for the same person to hold
l’re«i lencvonly one term. Neither of the last
: Presidents of the United States lield the
~’e more than one tern*. The Constitution of
- Confederate States ouly permits the President
iioidone term. Mr. Davis and Mr. Stephens
we the office now for the short term under the
•ovislonal Government, and still everybodv
'ks to them to hold it for another full term, be-
•‘®*e we are. in the midst of a revolution, and
•ages are dangerous at such sic time. All the
®|ilaint made about the violation of the usage
made, not by the people, who are satisfied to let
. enough alor.c, but by those who want office,
1 consider nothing well enough that does not
.t them in office. They want Gov. Brown out,
they may get in. Let them wait till we have
•ice, and it will then be time enough to make
,'eriments and try new men.
But it is said to be a reflection on other getitle-
|| in the State to elect Gov. Brown again, as it
• i:valent to saying that lie is the only man fit
■'tovemor. This is a mistake. It is only sny-
i 'hat he is fit, as his conduct in the office has
<*dy shown, and that we are unwilling to
a,l ge a tried man for an untried one, til! we are
I of the war. But why is it a reflection upon
■t gentlemen to permit Gov. Brown to hold
,::e office six years ? Have we not frequently
! ncted the same man United States Senator two
■‘‘fee times, where the term is six years, and
II kept him twelve or probably fifteen years in
Was this a reflection on all other genfle-
in the State ; and did it prove that no one else

fa it Gov. Brown, and alter full consideration the
vote was taken, and the meeting determined to
have nothing to do with the Convention. After
i his a small meeting ol anti-Brown men met and
appointed delegates who went to Milledgeville
and pretended to represent the county. Again
in the county of Cass a meeting of twenty-eight
persons convened in the Court House, without
any previous notice, and appointed delegates, w ho
professed to represent the whole county, which
votes nearly two thousand, and it will now be
contended that these two thousand voters are
hound by the action of these twenty-eight men
ot which they had nonotice, and with which they
had nothing to do. These counties are mentioned
only as specimens, many others were represented
in a similar-way, while others were represented
by proxies, or persons not living iii the counties
which they professed to represent, and not au
thorized by even a respectable meeting of village
politicians to speak for the county. From the
best estimates that can he made, the public meet
ings held in the different counties to appoint del
egates did not average twenty persons each, some
had more arid some less. Twenty times fifty-
eight makes eleven hundred and sixty persons,
which is about the whole number of persons in
Georgia, which could be got to endorse the Con
venrion after months of political scheming and
intriguing. Has it come to this, that eleven
hundred and sixty persons who are the personal
or political enemies of Gov. Brov- n. being about
one in every thousand of the voters of the State,
shall assume to represent the whole people ot
Georgia and to dictate to them who shall be tlieii
Governor, for whom they may vote, and for whom
they may not vote? When we had political ■ par
ties, and politicians he'd caucusses and Conven
tions as instruments to maintain party ascenden
cy, the party wss considered bound by the ac
tion of its leaders, and it was expected that al!
would support the nominee. This was no attempt
at dictation to the whole people, as the other par
ty was always left free to fight the nominee be
fore the people, and to beat him if they could, as
only the party nominating him was considered
bound to his support. The case is very different
now, the whole people of Georgia constitute at
present only one great party, and as every man ir
Georgia belongs to that party, when it is bound
every man is bound. Ifoiv ridiculous the claim
that eleven hundred and sixty persons scattered
over fifty eight counties, are the guardians of tin-
whole people of tlie State, and that they have a
right to choose the Governor, and that all arc
obliged to vote for him! Will not the people
promptly frown down all this kind of political
trickery, and for one time teach the politicians
that they are able to make their own selection, in
the manner prescribed by the Constitution, at the
ballot box ? What say the voters of the seventy-
four counties w hich were not represented and ti t
vast majority of the voters of the fifty-eight conn-'
ties, for a vast majority even in those counties
had nothing to do icitli the caucus ? Shall we en
courage these attempts of aspirauts and place-
hunters to divide and distract us, at a time wher
verything that is dear to us depends upon unity
and harmony?
Though it may not serve the purposes of inter
ested parties, had we not better let things remain
as they are, in the hands of a man who under
stands his duty thoroughly, and has shown him
self equal to every emergency, than to risk a
change, by putting every thing in the hands o!
new man, who may make an entire failure
when he attempts to take hold of. and adminis
ter, the practical affairs of the Government in the
midst of a revolution? If a man has an experi
enced lawyer conducting his case in Court, who
has prepared it thoroughly, made out the interrog
atories, examined the witnesses, and marked all
the points of law which apply to tho case, who
has studied all the facts in it, and prepared all his
briefs for the trial, would he, on the trial, dismiss
his counsei and risk his case before the court and
jury in the hands of a new man, who has ncvei
studied it, and cannot, from the nature of the case-
know the facts ? Or would a man having a
sick relative, whose physician fully understands
the case, and is treating it well, turn him off when
the patient is doing well, and place the case in
the hands of an untried man 7 Or would a man
having a good overseer, who understands all
about his farm, and is conducting himself well,
turn him off at a most critical period to his crop,
and take in an inexperienced man in his place ?
Certainly no one would be guilty of such folly ;
but tho folly in such case, would not be halt so
great as that which the politicians now propose to
the people of Georgia, when they ask them to dis
place Governor Brown, who lias four year's expe
rience in the Executive office, and is fully posted
on everything connecteJ with it, and put a new-
untried man in his place, when the life, liberty
and property of every man, woman and child in
Georgia, may be seriously endangered by the
change. We are obliged to raise large sums ot
money to support the war, and our taxes must be
burdensome. Governor Brown is paying into
the State Treasury from the State Road, nearly
half a mil'ion of dollars a year. If this money
w ere not paid in by the Koad.it must be raised,
in addition to the slim now raised by increased
taxation. If it is said that any one else can make
the Road pay as well as Governor Brown, the re
ply is, that no oue else ever did do it before he
came into office, and it may be very doubtful, if
we may judge of the futuie by the past, whether
any one ever will do it after he goes out. For
the first two years after he commenced paying in
those large sums, his enemies said it was not so,
that it was impossible for any body to do it.—
They found, iiowever, that the figures condemned
them, and that, the people condemned them, and
they then changed their tone, and they now say
auy body can do it. Their attempts to deceive
the people, will doubtless meet tbe eondemuatiou
which it deserves, and the people will retain in
office in our present perilous and stormy period,
the experienced and faithful public servant, who
now occupies the Executive Chair. He has done
his duty faithfully, and they will say at the ballot
box, well done thou good and faithful servant.
Dcnth of an Old Citizen.
We regret to announce the death ot an old citizen
of Augusta, Mr. Wm. D’Antignac. This event occur
red yesterday, at the Bailey Springs, Alabama, where
he had gone for his health.

Brown, (says the Recorder.) tor we believe he has
faithfully administered his office, and that it is
now proper he should retire at the end of four
This is neither good logic, nor good
sense Men donotactin this way in managing
their own affairs, therefore we must believe they
are not honest when they make this as an objec
tion. Can any man believe that these men who
make this objection, would refuse to embark on
board of a ship for a perilious voyage, because
the Captain aud pilot had been four years engaged
in navigating that coast. What should we think
of a niau, who, when about to go on board of
a steamboat, for a loug voyage, in stormy weath
er, should say, I object to this captain, pilot, and
crew, because they have made this voyage fre
quently before, and have always had good luck?
People would consider this a very poor excuse,
and believe the man who made it was either a
very foolish, or a dishonest man. The men who
make this objection, must either have forgotten^
or they disbelieve the parable of the talents as
related in the XIX chap, of Luke Christ says
ter the faithful steward, well done, thou good
servant, turnuse thou hast bun faithful ocer n lit
tle, I mil make thee iuIct onr much. The way
these men who object to Gov. Brown serving a
thiid time because he has done well twice, would
have dealt with these servants 'according to their
reasoning would have been thus: They would say
to him that had gained the five talents, you have
done well, you have doubled our money, and you
cau afford to retire, just step aside, and give place
to him that had the one talent. It is true that he
lias done nothing yet, lie has not shown any ca
pacify for business. We know you would do
well, for you have already doubled our money,
whilst ho kept it hid in the ground, but we have
decided to take all of our money from you. who
hath done well,and give it to him who has done
nothing. If according to divine inspiration, it.
was right and proper to reward him who had been
faithful over a little, with increased authority, it
is certainly right and proper to reward a man who
has twice been a faithful Governor, with th- same
authority again.
C'anmioM Neasr.
What would have been thought of President
Davis if at the battle of Manassas, when ho saw
Beauregard and Johnson displaying the ability
of efficient Generals, he had ordered them from
the field, and sent in their places other Generals,
equally brave and skilled in war, but ignorant of
the plan of the battlo of the position of the men
and the arms, of the reserves and resources in the
event of disaster ? Such act would have been
pronounced by all, one of extreme folly aud
madness
And such will be the verdict of all men of com
mon sense, should Georgia in this the crisis of the
battle between the North aud South, turn out ot
her Executive Chair one who, (his enemies being
judges,! has wisely and nobly led Georgia’s wiug
in tbe general fight, and by the past has given
an ample guaranty for the future, and put in that
chair one equally wise and patriotic, but who
from necessity is totally ignorant in a thousand
essential matters, which could be learned only by
experience.
Gov. Brown has already marshalled on the field
an army of 3!),000 of Georgia’s sons. He has
formed, and is successfully prosecuting, his plans
for clothing and otherwise promoting their com
fort. He is now bringing to the field for State
defence another army of 10,000 of Georgia’s sons,
and prosecuting his plans to clothe and feed and
arm aud render them efficient. He has made him
self familiar with the coast to be defended, the
best plans of defence, and the men who must di
rect it. Is it wise in the midst of the fight to or
der him from the field?
Our Folilirul Overseer.
The prudent and successful farmer or planter
never turns off a good overseer while he does well
and makes good crops. The imprudent and un
thrifty may do so, but they only who are the
slaves of passion and extreme folly will turn off
a good overseer when their crops are overgrown
with grass.
Farmers and Planters of Georgia our crop—our
crop ot liberty, is in the glass. The euemy is
threatening to subjugate us. He who is our po
litical overseer has dona all that mortal man can
do for us. While the crop is in the grass, let us
not be guilty of the foily of discharging him.
“Is it not Time tSmf vvr were done with nil
sorts of Ilumbugerj f”
The above question is asked by the Chronicle
& Sentinel of the 17th inst. We answer it is
time. The hnmbugery against which the Chroni
cle & Sentinel has been warning its readers for
weeks and months, is caucusses and Conventions.
Those who have read that paper lately can testify
that it has cried aloud and spared not against
these abominations. The Chronicle lias shown
beyond dispute that Conventions were calculated
and intended to deceive the people, and cheat
them out of their choice of rulers. He has shown
that they were calculated to divide and distract
the people and to keep alive parties. The Chron
icle tfc Sentinel was veiy much in favor ot inde
pendent candidates, uutil Gov. Brown was an
nounced as an independent candidate, when his
faith in them began to waver, and lie kept wa
vering until now lie is out. in favor of the Conven-
necessary to have a man of tried energy and ex
perience, now at the helm. Iu answer to tiiis call
of the people, Gov. Brown has consented to serve
them if elected. But the wishes of the people
were disregarded by many of the politicians and
office seekers. They had in times gone by deci
ded. who should have office and who should not
an I they were determined not to let the power gc
out of their hands. For the purpose of retaining
the power in their own hands, they called together
those who had long wanted office and been disap
pointed. and those who wanted king caucus to rul
the State, and called this grand caucus a Conven
tion This combination of men, who are determined
to rule or ruin the State, nominated Judge Nisbet,
for Governor. The Judge is a good man, but on
this occasion he has been found in very suspicious
company. We are now ca led upon to vote for
Joe Brown the people's tried and faithful servant,
or for Judge Nisbet, the untried Convention can
didate. Which will you choose?
The Day and the Alan.
The first Wednesday of October will be a very
important day to the people of Georgia. On that
Jay they decide by their votes at the ballot box,
who shall stand at the helm, and steer the old
ship, the State of Georgia, for tho next two years
In all probability the next two years, will be very
important to the future well being of our State.
In such squally times as these, it is very impor
taut who we shall put at the helm Shall vve take
a new man who has never navigated the coast,
and who knows nothing about tiie ship, or the
dangc-rs of the navigation ? Or shall we take an
old and experienced officer, who knows all the
ropes, who has already made many successful
voyages, and knows how to shun the rocks and
quicksands that lie in onr path. Men of Georgia
if we are wise and prudent, we shall not in this
fearful hour dismiss a faithful and good Governor,
aud trust our foituues to untried hands. If you
vote for Gov. Brown you know yon vote for a
tried and good man and risk nothing. If you
vote for a new man, without experience or prac
tice, yon risk everything. Act like wise men,
vote for him who lias been tried and found all
right.

Messrs. Editors:—The time for the election of
Governor draws nigh, and I am happy to see that
there is but little excitement upon the subject
among the people. Allow me a corner in your
paper in reference to the condition of the canvass
in this section of the State.
Old party lines are totally obliterated. There
are now but two candidates in the field—Col.
Chambers having retired from the canvass. Gov.
Brown and Judge Nisbet must run the race alone.
The best informed among us believe that Governor
Brown will carry the present 3rd Congressional
District by a handsome majority. The opposition
to Gov. Brown is mostly in the cities and large
towns. The people in the country—the honest
and unsophisticated farmers are generally inclined
to go for Brown. And this will probably be found
to be the case throughout the State. If you will
look at the composition of the late Convention,
you will find that ali the cities and large town's in
the State were fully represented in the Conven
tion. It is barely possible that the Banks and
Bank influences may have had something to do
with this, as they are supposed not to be on very
friendly terms with Gov. Brown.
But the people, the bone and sinew of the land
—tho real tn.c payers, are moving silently, but
majestically along in solid column, for their friend
and the true friend ot the Slate, Gov Brown-
These people have no word ot abuse for Judge
Nisbet—not a word—blit they are for “honest Joe
Brown” against the world for Governor.
They say he has made not only a good, but a
model Governor. That we are now in the midst
of a great revolution—that our all is staked upon
the issue—that they de-ire to see no change iu our
State policy at this great crisis That under the wise
Administration of Gov Brown the old “Empire
State” has nobly done her duty, and has taken an
enviable position among her sister Confederate
States in this great emergency.
They say that no man can put his finger upon
an official act of Gov. Brown, and say that by his
act the State lias received any detriment. That
no man alive could have managed the finances of
the State to better advantage than Gov. Brown—
that a wise and rigid economy has marked every
stage of his Administration for four years—and it
you wish to be relieved from burdensome taxation,'
vote for Brown.
Would you have your brave men called into the
field to tight ) our battles ? Wonld you have your
soldiers in the field equipped, clothed and fed ?
Would you relieve the pains and sufferings of the
sick and wounded of your brave defenders?—
Gov. Brown has ever been at the right place at
the right time to attend to ail these things
Is your sea coast threatened by the invader,
Gov. Brown is at once on the spot to see that all
is made ready to give him a pioper reception. In
a word, the people say, they leant uo change at
this time.
When appealed to upon the “third term,” they
respond, that as long as they can hear the clash
of arms on our borders, they will not stop to ar
gue about ‘'third terms,'’ or any other terms, but
that they are ready to vote lor the * right mar. in
tlie right place" lor the fourth term, rather than
run any risk in a change of the order of battle
in the face of tlie enemy.
Messrs. Editors, I am one of the people—I move
daily among them—I hear their conversations,
and I think 1 know their feelings and sentiments
And from the work shops—from the corn and cot
ton fields—from the valleys, and the hill sides, I
distinctly hear the still small voices of the labor
ing people swelling up upon every breeze, lliat
Joseph E. Brown has proved faithful so far, aud
that he must and will he elected torn third term.

is to hinder us from rallying as one man to the of the Iffth inst there appeared an editorial article,
J B stating m substance, that there were in the
support of the nominee of the Convention?—
There is nothing to prevent the Chronicle and
Sentinel from doing so, but consistency, honesty,
patriotism, truth and a few other old cardinal vir
tues. Weshould think all of these old fashioned
virtues would be in the way of that paper's sup
port of the nominee of the Convention, if he was
iu earnest in all he said against Conventions in
the past. But perhaps his former objections to
caucusses, and conventions are the very humbugs
which he now thinks we should have done with,
or is it the Conventions, or the Chronicle & Sen
tinel. Which of all of these humbugs do you
mean !
“Ail Anxious Han Comforted.”
The above caption appeared at the head of an
article in the Macon Telegraph of the Ibth inst
When we first saw it, we were rejoiced, hoping
that for once something good had come out of
Nazareth; but upon further examination we dis
covered that the Leopard had not changed his
spots, nor the Ethiopian his skin, but had only
disguised them a little. Instead of the dove, with
the olive branch in her mouth, we saw the wound
ed pigeon fluttering and writhing in anguish.
We published the official proceedings of the Con
vention, which irritated and sorely vexed this
writer tor the Telegiaph.and we do not wonder at it
in the least. Nothing injures a bad cause so
much as a plain statement of facts. The Tele
graph man had been drumming and fifeing and
fiddling for many weeks, trying to draw a crowd
to the Convention. He had prophocied that it
would be largest aud most astonishing Conven
tions that ever assembled in Milledgeville. Well
after all the postponements, and all the efforts
made to draw a crowd, delegates from a little over
one third of the counties in the State reported
themselves at the Convention. Many of these
were not regular delegates, but came to the Con
vention by hook or by crook. It is not strange
that such a Convention, after so much fuss iu get

this writer so much for the spite and spleen which

Arsenal here, a large number of arms, JLe. In a
note, which you kmuiy published in your last
paper. I stated that the Editors had been misin-
informed iu regard to the arms here. I supposed
that this would be a sufficient contradiction, with
out any thing further from me. Butin his paper
of the I9:h, he attempts, very unsuccessfully,
with liis legerdemaiu pioeess, to pervert wliat I
intended as a contradiction into a confirmation ot
his eironeous statement. He draws largely upon
the gullability of liis readers when lie makes such
an attempt.
• 1 am very much averse to controversies in news
papers, but as I have been very much misrepre
seined by the Savannah Republican. I respect
fully ask a little space iu your paper, to enable me
to p ace this matter in a shape that will have noth-
ing “equivocal” about it. It is stated in the
Savannah Republican of the J2ih inst., as follows:
“We learn that there is sufficient arms in the old
Arsenal at Milledgeville, to supply several regi-
ineuts. and teat there is a large number in the
new Aisenal at that place,” &c. Now I pro
nounce that statement to be positively and abso
lutely untiuc.
In the Republican of the J’Jth, the Editors, in
alluding to me,says:—“He acknowledges there are
enough arms still remaining, to arm Hie men who
are to be ordered out for tlie defence of the sea
coast.” 1 made no such acknowledgement; aud it
is very strange, that any one, who has any regard
to truth, should attempt such a palpable, aud per
haps wilful, pt-rversiou of what 1 did say. Noth
ing perhaps, but iiis familiarity with legerdemain,
could induce him to undertake it. I did not use
the word "enough,” at all, and made no allusion
to the quantity of arms. How could 1 know how
many men would probably be ordered out? That,
I presume, would depend upon the nature of the
invasion—if small, or formidable, the number of
Hoops ordered out would piohuhly be iu proportion.
1 simply stated that I understood the arms, fit for
use, would be placed iu the hands of ineu ordered
out for the deteuce of tlie coast, I did not say
there wero “enough” for 1,000 or5,000 men. And
1 do hope, hereafter, that the Savannah Republican
will not missiate aud pervert what 1 say to suit
bis owu purposes..
Now, in regard to the complaint, that volunteer
companies have been disbanded, because they
could not be furnished with arms, as I know some
facts about this matter it is proper I should state
them. Ail tho arms in tho Arsenal, with a few
exceptions, have recently been brought iu, by ex
traordinary eff'oits of tbe Governor to make the
necessary preparations for deiending the ijtate. A
large portiuu of these arms needed repairing, and
they have been repaired as rapidly as possible, and
we are still going on with this business. If they
bad been sent out to companies to drill with, they
could not have been repaired and put in order for
immediate service.
Some (time ago, when large requisitions were
made upou Georgia, tor men to go to Pensacola
and I lrgiuia, and when some fifteen or more, reg
iments, had been armed and sent off', it was ascer
tained that arms would soon become scarce, and
that thi-re would not be sufficient arms to supply
the regiments going into active service, and also
supply volunteer companies at home for drilling
purposes. There were not enough for both; for the
number of companies applying tor arms L almost
incredible. Tho Governor decided to give ihe
guns to those men who were matching to the
battle fields, for our defence; and I tbiuk he de
cided correctly.
iiuch are the facts abont the arms; yet the Sav.
Republican is ever ready to grumble and complain.
It reminds me, very much, of an unruly, baulky
horse iu a good team—always kicking, floundering
and pulling hack, when our cause is one in which
washonld all pull harmoniously together. Bnt
Gov. Brown is our lead horse iu the Georgia team. J 0 |j, e VolfrS Of Baldwin i'OUDtj l
rle has. with a patriotic zeal unbounded, and in- •
dustry and perseverance untiring, guided us thus ! As there is but one candidate ir. tlie field to rep-
far. safely and successfully, in our struggle for onr i resent Baldwin county in the next Legislature,
rights: aud I have no doubt he will continue to do ; and that is my friend L. II. Briscoe, Esq., a law
yer of talent—a taleus that is capable of doing
good service to ills professional brethren of the
bar, in preparing an easy way for' a living indi
rect from the soil.
But the interest of the law profession is not the
interest of tiie laboring classes, who should also
be represented in the Legislature. Looking then
to the futuie prosperity of our country, seeing
that it has become burtbeiied with too many of
this professional class, who are thronging our
Legislative halls, making long speeches ou smail
matters, to show their laleut, delaying time and
so, until this unnatural contest is over, and we
have triumphantly secured our national inde
pendence. T. M. BRADFORD, M. S. K.

who was responsible for taking Fort Pulaski, we
publish below the following order from Gov.
Brown, which coufirms all that we said ou that
subject. The Republican and Chronicle & Sen
tinel must try again.

Sill: In view of tlie fact that the Government nt
Washington has,as we are informed upon high au
thority, decided on the policy of coercing a seceding
State back into the Union, and it is believed, now has
a movement on foot, to occupy with Federal Troops,
the Southern Forts, including Fort Pulaski |in this
State, which if done, would give the Federal Govern
meat in any contest, great advantages over the people
iu this State. Totheeud therefore, that this strong
hold, which commands also the entrance into Georgia,
may not be occupied by any hostile force, until the
convention of the People nt' Georgia, which is to meet
on the ltith instant, has decided on tlie policy which
Georgia will adopt in this einegeney, yon are ordered to
take possession of Fort Pulaski, ns by Public Order
herewith; and to hold it against ail persons, to be aban
doned only by orders from me, or under compulsion
by an overpowering hostile force.
Immediately upon occupying the Fort, you will take
measures to put it in a thorough state of defense as far
as its means and ours will permit; anil for this purpose,
you will advise with Captain Claghom oltlie Chatham
Artillery, who has been charged with all matters rela
ting to Ordnance and Ordnance stores, and their sup
ply.
You willfnrtlier arrange with Captain Claghom, a
series of day ami night signals for communicating at
all times with the City of Savannah, lor the purpose ol
calling for reinforcements, or other necessary purpo
ses. And you will arrange with Mr. John Cunningham,
Military Purveyor, for the employment ot'a Steam
boat or Steamboats, or other means of transoprtntion,
bv land or water, that may be necessary for other sup
plies, (except for Ordnance, for which you will call up
on C’npt. Claghom l that may be required.
Relying upon your energy, patriotism and sound dis
cretion, I commit this important trust to you, until it
may become necessary to call out a larger force, and
higher command. JOSEPH E. BROWN.

The character and lile of Mrs Amanda J. Hobbs
who died recently at her residence in Albany.
Georgia, illustrates many of tlie graces of Chris
tianity. In not a tew particulars, her example is
worthy of imitation. These lines are penned as
encouragement and guidance (brothers, who still
pursue tlie pilgrimage of time. They are few,
very few, compared with the record which would
do justice to the merits of the deceased. She was
thu eldest child of the late Richard K. Hines,
Esq., ot Macon, Georgia. Her mother was the
daughter of Dr. James Nisbet, who died some
years ago at Athens, in this Slate. She was
raised under the influences of religion, and ac
cording to the torins and usages of the Presby
terian Church; yet with extreme, almost excessive
tenderness. It was not until she reached the age
of some twenty years that her character was tully
developed. Before that tune, she was amiable,
affectionate, respectful, cultivated in her tastes,
and remarkable lor conversational talent. AtHic-
tions visited the family, and then it was that her
character began to display its strength Her
mother died, and she assumed at once her place in
the family. Iu a few years thereafter her father
died, and lett her the head of the household
Most of her brothers and sisters were young, and
all needed the counsel and sympathy of a wise and
true friend. Unused to care and responsibility,
she became their assiduous, painstaking friend
and instructress. Self-sacrifice was now the habit
of one, who for the greater part of her life knew
not what it was to have a desire ungratified. She
was a mother to her brothers aud sisters, a kind
and provident mistress, and an esteemed and use
ful member of the society in which she lived—a
noble illustration of sacrifice, love and energy.
Sbe had not as yet made a profession of religion,
but it is doubtless true, that so many viitues were
the fruits of Christian principle, early and per
sistently inculcated. She having married, the
family removed to Albany; and there she united
with the Presbyterian Church, in whose com
munion she lived and died Asa wife and Chris
tian, she was most exemplary. She was always
ready for all good works, prompt, prudent, aud
beyond most persons efficient. Hospitable, cliari-
lable, judicious and enterprising, she gave her
time, the labor of her bauds, and tho conclusions
of her vigorous mind to the service of God. and
the happiness of het fellow-creatures. Energy
and benevolence were "the prominent traits of her
character. Although of delicate physical organi
zation, her labors were abounding. She loved
much, arm therefore she accomplished much. She
had a strong will, hut it was guided hyp. sound
judgment and subjected to the law ol God. Her
life was short, but long enough to achieve salva
tion through faith in the Son of God, and to leave
ts beneficent traces upon the circle in which she
moved. She illustrated in her walk and conver
sation the beauty of Christianity, and died in the
peace of the Gospel. Verily, she has not lived in
vain.
Her husband and many, many friends weep over
her grave, but. there is no hopelessness in their
gia, will please accept this small package of socks, j tears. Her body rests in the family burying
ns a donation from Mrs Ada Sanford, the oldest
lady now living in Hancock county, Georgia, aged
i-5. She is a Virginian, blit not of that biood
which has lately disgraced the Old Dominion, by
clinging to the Union and the yankees. She em
igrated to Georgia, with her family, in 1811, but
has never lost her love for the old Stale. She is
familiar with the points where the late battles
were fought, and the mere mention of Alexandria,
Leesburg, Winchester, and Harper’s Ferry, in
their perilous condition, gives her deep trouble.
This good lady, so old aud infirm, knit the socks
herself, and is glad to be able to do this much with
her own hands for some poor soldier, who now
treads her native soil—perhaps relatives may
wear them, as she has grandsons and a great
grndson in the army, one of which lias already
been sacrificed in defence of liis eountrv
round in Rose Hill Cemetry. at Macon, and her
spirit, glorified, rests in the bosom of God.

Messrs. Editors :
I have just seen an article copied from tiie Ma
con Citizen grossly misrepresenting Pi iilips’ Le
gion, to which the Governor’s Horse Guards are
attached.
The article alluded to states that we are not yet
mustered into the Confederate service, aud that
we cannot be received on account of not having
the requisite number of men, and furthermore
that we are now iu camp at the expense of tho
State of Georgia.
A statement more unfounded and false could
not be penned.
nor. ihe strength and refinement of her mind
and the earnestness and zeal of her pious life.
No one intimately acquainted with her would fail
to recognize these as prominent in her character,
and to omit either would do her manifest injus
tice. In ail the relations of wife, mother, mistress
and neighbor, she was a true woman, amiable
and compassionate toward her servants, minis
tering to the poor and visiting the sick. Those
who knew her best loved her most. In all her
ways as well as her words she spoke the truth
in her heart. She never spoke evil of auy, nor
took up a reproach against her neighbors. Thus
she lived, in all good conscience, before the world
and before God. until she was called to enter into
the joys of her Lord.

The fouitli Brigade were mustered in Georgia
for tiie war, and has not been re-mustered lieie. the
muster in Georgia being all that was necessary.—
We arc not only “in service,” but have received
orders to report ourselves immediately to Gen.

transportation (to-morrow or next day) we shall
leave here for Lewisburg.
Except the Artillery Battalion, the whole of the
fourth Brigade are now either in actual service or

The Artillery Battalion are only awaiting their
full equipment of horses, which they are daily re

We did send a recruiting officer to Georgia, not
because we did not lnve a sufficient number of

have the maximum allowed by Confederate regu
