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 , ; i5 competent ?

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. Mr. D’Antignac was President of the Augusta Insu rance and Banking Company, and was much respected in thUeommunitv, where he leaves a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn his loss.—Constitution alist. For the Coast.—The Irwin Cow Boy« pass ed through last night, from the camp of instruc tion at Griffin, to join Col. Lamar’s Regiment, Savannah, for coast defence.— Telegrpah. 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. For the Southern Federal Union. 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. UPEJOIE. [For the Southern Federal Union.] tion and all of its abominations, and asks, what j Messrs. Editors:—in the Savannah Republican 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 ting it up, was considered by every body a deci ded failure. Nor is it strnnge that the Telegraph should be mortified and angiy at such a dead fail ure of its plans and promises. Nor do we blame this writer so much for the spite and spleen which ho exhibits towards ns for exposing the weak points of the Convention. This was probabij’ what might have been expected under all the cir cumstances. Bet we do blame him for putting some of his own folly and fiction into our mouth, in order to have them believed. This is decidedly wicked, and may deceive many honest people; inaDy men seeing these statements made as com ing from us will believe them, when if they knew thev were the production of the Telegraph writer, would take them for just what they are worth We beg of the Telegraph, whatever else you may do, do not make us responsible for ichat you say, vie can stand almost anything, but tee can t stand that. fjftieY.

Ladies especially invited to attend. 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.

Lawton, Commd' 1st Reg’t Geo. Volunteers, Savannah. 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.

CHARLES IVEY. In Milledgeville on the 1-th inst., by the Rev. C. W. Lane, Mr. John Wood to Miss Mary A. E. Johnson. oSr 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.

Cash* Davis, near Lynchburg, Va., ( September 17th. 1861. J 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. LOST POCKET BOOK. GROCERIES!
