though they have changed their camp several

they have had no forced marches, and have been

Again. “We have been opposed to the corrup
tion and rascality of conventions for many years,
and expect to remain so forever. Their tendency,
design, and object is to take power out of the
harms of the people, and coneentratf it in those of
a few politicians, whose highest ambition is to se
cure to themselves the spoils of victory
The people have always been opposed to these
cunning devices of the devil, and the politicians,
and have only tolerated them heretofore because
it was claimed they wet necessary to party success
It i3 now contended that wu have no parties.—
What excuse thou, is there for a convention?
We hope the penjilc will tako this matter in
hand, And whoever the office holders, office hun
ters, and political tricksters may nominate, no Uf,ath
matter how good a man he may he, rejuct by an
overwhelming majority. Let them have a candi

with his associates in everything tending to pro
mote the interests of the corps: made bimselt a
favorite among his tollow-soldiers. one whose
loss cannot easily he supplied: and Lis noble
qualities of head-arid heart, his lively social dis
position, his unselfish, active generosity ot nature;
ever ready, forgetful of self, to accommodate or.
oblige, had won for himself ao. onviuhle chsrac-
amoug a wry extensive acquaintance ; and a
name which will be remembered hut to loved by a
large circle of triends. At the commencement of
the present, political difficulties, ho warmly es
poused the cause of Ills adopted State and section;
and, although lie had, by reason of failing health,
been exempt, for some time, from active duty in
his company, mid sustained an honorary relation
to it only; yet he was anxious to accompany his
brother soldiers to the seat of War, and to engage
in the activities of sanguinary conffict in defense
of tbe rights and honor of his beloved Southern
home; hut was dissuaded by his comrades from
doing so, on account of iiis feeble health, and
reluctantly consented to remain behind: lint,
when the demand for additional troops called the
Baldwin Volunteers to the battle-field, be could
no longer repress his patriotic impulses, bnt at
taching himself to that company, eagerly advan
ced with them to meet the foe
Arriving in Virginia, it was soon discovered
is health was rapidly failing under the fa
tigue and exposure of camp-life; and he was
obliged to accept an honorable discharge from
the service, and return to Millcdgeville ; where
he suffered for two or three weeks, surrounded by
Kind and sympathizing friends, and then fell into
his last, long sleep—dying where he had long
loved to live—lamented by all who knew him.
Therefore, he it Resolved, That in the death
pro tanto,” and evidence will be put in
jthe hands of the debtors of this-fact, and
•'preserved npon the books to be kept; anti
further, the Government wifi do whatever
i.s necessary by Treaty, when peace comes,
to protect in fall its own citizens, who
thus obey her Laws. Those who refuse or
fail to comply with the requirements of
tho act, leave themselves snbjeqt to the
process of the courts, and the penalties de
clared for delinquencies. t-
The law condemn? all property, credits
and rights in partnership or not. except'
Confederate and State bonds. It applies
to all persons in the free States, nnd not to
'slave States ; except such persons as bold
commissions, civil or military, under the
Lincoln Government, or snch as arc Cp-
gaged in aiding and abetting that Govern
ment in its wanton and mad attempt-to
subjngate the South. When that day
comes, we shall need no lafv or conrt?, for
then her brave sons, witli their fathers,
will all sleep in death on her countless bat
tle fields.
Alas! the convention, and a mighty small one it ! of our late brother. Charles Ogden, this company
was, met. It did not dictate to us, a farmer, or a
new man, hut one, who while we confess he is n
Christian patriot, and learned gentleman, we great
ly respect, yet one. vhn has often grazed upon the
rie/i pastures, drank of the rrfnshtng streams, and
feasted upon the golden fruits of party and of nfp.ee.
But IDtfUi, “The race is narrowed to a contest
between Gov. Brown and Judge Nisbet. The. chief
objection we have to the latter is the fact that he
was recommended by a convention. It is claimed
however, that it was not a party convention, and
-that the log-rolling, and other rascality so com
mon in these bodies were carefully avoided in tho
late ona. Tiiis'may all he so; but we are still op
posed to conventions,with the, lights now before us
If wo vote at all, we are compelled to choose be
tween Gov. Brown, who is running for a third term
sndjwho was never acceptable to us,and Judge Nis-
bot, one of the oldest men in the State, who has had
tho misfortune to have hern recommended by a
convention. We think it ip our duty to vote for
the laiter, ntider protest against all sort of con
ventions. Wo hope he may be elected.”
Southern Watchman Sept. 2i>.
Many other papers, that oppose Gov. Brown
have from, some cause, followed the same course,
heaped terrible abuse npon conventions, and then
yielded to king caucus. We earnestly hope the
people will now decide the matter, whether con
ventions, caucuses and politicians, are to govern
the State.
Judge Nishet may fin elected, the great loaf of
the Empire State will be cut again, a«d the tempt
ing slices axe to be handed out by its great almo
ner, Judge Nisbot, embryo Secretaries, Comptrol
lers, Superintendents of the State Road, then will
ha a perfect clamor among a new pet for office.
God grant, the proud name we hold in the other
Statos, may still he ours, that we may continue to
cost the Coufodeoncy as little as we do. thatour
sea coast may be as minutely examined, the State
Road continue to pay as it does, and if elected,
the Judge’s enemies, (if he has any) may be able
to say after a trial, as do Gov. Brown's, he has
made us a good Oarcrnvr. i
In selecting the Watchman, to refer to,,we have
: no particular motive. The Chronicle & Sentinel
has pursued a Jim Crow course in .Tcgard to con
ventions. The Macon Messenger, and various
other papers have acted on ilie same principle. It
would almost appear, as if there had been for some
purpose an understanding to cry down. conven
tions to tiic people, and then to support tlie nomi
nee of one. Even the Recorder,of, July 2d telly
us—‘-We notice there is sonie difl’uretice of opin
ion among our editorial brethren, and their corres
pondence, relative to the mod* of presenting a
candidate for tbe executive chair of Georgia. A
greeing with several of them in the opinion that
tlie people are tired of tlmse logrolling dictatorial
'conclavea known as conventions, and that they
intend this year to select their own candidate, and
elect him without tho volunteer aid of the politi
cians, we suggest the name &c.” Vet the Recor

prompt and energetic jetion in the present crisis

Messrs. Editors', As the election of Governor
is near at hand, and the people of Georgia soon
will decido which of the candidates they prefer
for their Kxecntiye for the ensuing term, it be
hooves each and every one to calmly and dispas
sionately view the record of each, the qualifica
tions of each, and then select tho best man.
1 do not propose lo disenss in this article the
past records of oither: Lot (the people do that for
themselves. I merely intend bri«fiy to call atteu-
lion to a few facts in relation to our great State
Work—tlie “W. & A. R, R.”
This Road in all times past has been the great
hobby upon which politicians of all grades have
rode, in and out of power. At the end of every
previous administration! charges of favoritism,
corruption, culvert contracts, and a thousaud
other similar complaints liave been advanced
against the management, and urged as arguments
why certain patties should he -‘oiutud,” &c.—
This is a well known fact, and needs no elabora
tion. ; j.-
How is it now? Notwithstanding that Yapks,
corporations, politicians and newspapers preusing
every effort to defeat the present Executive, riot a
w ord is aaid about the State Road. The reason is
very plain. • Tfifi affairs' of this work' have been
managed with so much prudence, skill and ener
gy, that it has paid handsomely i,utn the Stato
Treasury, reduced the taxes of the people, and
ererybody knows it, and the opposition feel it would
weaken their cause to argue against it when eve
ry tax-payer would see the fallacy of their argu
ment.
That this Road has never paid heretofore every
one knows ; that for tbe last four years, it has
become a valuable source of revenue to our State,
- f immense good, through a judi-
cw.u- ie. is also freely
admitted by all. . * v ~n
to him who by jealously gnarding thein,«.,.-
the State, by lopping off the useless encumbrances
of this work, and replacing drones with efficient
business men, lias succeeded in making the State
Road a profit instead of an expense? This ques
tion let the people also decide.
Itut say some, because we get a new Governor
it does not follow that we will get new officers for
the Road ? This >s a very protty argument to
deceive the masses of the people with, bnt politi
cians know better The people may he led to be

the same officers, and still pay its handsome
monthly earnings into the Treasury, and the faxes
will stiff be reduced, and tho benefits to the conn-

remnin the same on the line.
Those who listen to tbis.doetrine and vote with
this impression, and n change of Governors is
made, will be most wofnlly deceived. They will
find tiiat the eld adage “to the vietois belong the
spoils,’’ is not ont of date, and that if a new Ex
ecutive takes his seat, lie will bring with him a
host of friends and hangers oil who as such con
sider themselves peculiarly adapted and “called”

of the State Road, with inexperienced and iheom-
petent men to manage its affairs. Look at the re
cord of tlie past, and answer for yourselves.

.Kinim In tlir Mem.
The strength of the enemy in Western Virginia
is believed to ho between forty and fifty thousand.
There aie now under Gen. Reynolds, in and, abont
Randolph county, about twenty-five thousand
Gen. Cox had between six and seven thousand in
the KanawJia Valley, and Gen. Koseneratz is said
to have fifteen thousand—some say eleven to
twelve thousand. Thus there aro not less than
forty, and there may Le nearly fifty thousand of
the enemy’s forces operating in Western Vir
ginia.
We will not, for prudential seasons, present in
ddtail a statement of the-strength of onr forces in
tiiat quarter. Suffice it to say tiiat Gens. Lee and
Luring have a superior force to cope With, aiiil
tiiiat Gens. Floyd and. Wise are laboring under the
disadvantage of a considerable disparity of mum
beis. We tindersioiid that several regiments have
been ordered from Lynchburg to reinforce our
army beyoud Lewishurg ; and that still further
forces will he scut forward to this same cestination
very promptly.
The news brought down by the Central train
yesterday was that Gen. Lee had again fallen back
upon his former position, his forward movement
having been desisted from for some stragetic
reason not transpired.
The army of Generals Floyd and Wise have
changed their position from Sewell’s Mountain to
Meadow Bluff, which is on this side of the Sewell,
hut further to the West, in the direction of Sum
merville. The position they now occupy is upon
what is called the Wilderness rohd, leading into
Greenbrier county from Summerville, along which
Gon. Koseucrantz is approaching with a part of
eleven regiments. It was with a view to meet
bin: on his inareh that Generals Floyd and Wise
have proceeded up t he Wilderness road to Meadow
Bluff. If the movement of Gen. Kosencrautz
ha correstly reported, we may expect to hear ef
another battle in that direction in a few days.
The enemy considerably outnundmrs us, and the
fight will come off. if at nil, before the reinforce
ments just ordered on to Gen. Floyd will be able
to reach him; but notwithstanding these circum
stances, we are very confident thut onr brave little
army, whose mettle has been twice tried and
proved, will give a good report of itself.

The Stcqueali-atioii Act.
Hon. S. K. Oockrill, one of the receiv
ers for Tennessee, appointed by the Dis
trict Court of tlie Confederate States, in
response to inquiries made, publishes the
following, which, says the New Orleans
True Delta, is the most explicit and de
finite expose of the sequestration act we
have yet seen in print :
Nashville, Sept. 15.
Dear Sir: In reply to your communica
tion of yesterday, I state readily the out
line of a policy that will best accomplish
the object .of the government, in my opin
ion. I am, however, an agent, subject
to the control of the court; still, I de
rive my information from the spirit of the
law.
The Northern States are waging a fa-
Gcnl end vindictive war on the Southern
-"itions and desolations on
our border a. __ . i , - «fl

will be.
It is tbe doty of our Government to in
demnify her own citizens; though unwill
ing to. adopt such a remedy, no other
course was left, after the action of the
Northern Government.
Those engaged in supporting and main
taining this war agaihkt us, have propcTty,
reil and personal, debts', rights and fran
chines in the Confederate Slates; these
the law directs shall be subject to the con
trol of the court and its officers, for the
purposes contemplated.
In carrying into effect this provision, it
is Dot designed to oppose debtors; a pol
icy that establishes the fact that the debt
ors recognize the Confederate States, as
creditors, and not “alien enemies em
bracing time that accords with a reasona
ble ability to pay, will best accomplish this
end. Securities from merchants may well
consist ol notes on solvent customers, to
payin reasonable installments, and such
other laciiities as will make their country
debts available in their protection. The
debts will be payable in the notes of the
Government, and not in metal as at pres
ent. War suspends the right of “alien en
emies” to their debts, but this is a suspen
sion only, not payment. The interest of
the debtors is promoted by the plan and
policy above referred to. Liabilities
should not be forgotten, this will keep them
in a train of liquidation, and with as little
inconvenience to debtors as the object and
spirit of the new law will admit.
Commercial credit is naturally sensitive,
and a faithful and effective discharge of
duty doe? not require tbat inventories, of
liabilities, reported by business men,
should be left open to the gaze ofthepnb
lie. I will see that strict propriety is ob
served on this point. Reports required
under, the law will contain correct aggre
gates, and. not names. A competent cop.-*
ndential clerk will keep under key reports
of j liabilities.
