General Bras? and the Press.

August 55, 18(52. \
To the Editor of the. Montgomery Adverti
ser:
. Sir: xonr letter on the 2<1 inst. has been
referred to me by the General command
ing.
1 our correspondent was arrested for a
gross violation of well known rnles in all
armiea not to declare to the enemy tb
movement of troops. It is well ascertained
that the enemy receive your paper and
others regularly, and by that mcai s arc
kept constantly advised of our operation*.
As long as you confined yourselves to per
sonal abuse and detraction, though
false and malignant (see your article on
the relief of Gerf. .Beauregard by Gen.
Bragg, charging collisions between the lat
ter and the War Department), Gen. Bragg
cared nothing for it. But when you as
sail our cause, and expose our plans to the
enemy, it becomes liis duty to interfere
and you may rest assured he will do it, re
gardless of the support you have in the
Cabinet.
I am. very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Jas- E. Slaughter.
Brig- and A. A. Inspector General.
Advertiser Office, »
Montgomery, Aug, 11, 18(52. )
Gen. Braxton Brags.
Dear Sir: Your letter of the 8th through
Brigadier-Genera! Slaughter, lias been
received.
Allow me to say that, the arrest of our
correspondent, on pretence of giving in
formation to the enemy, can only be re
garded by all free thinking men as anoth
er exhibition of that petty tyranny and
vindictiveness for which you have gained
an unenviable notoriety. No one doubts
the correctness of the iule of the army
not to give irformation to the enemy, bui
all will question its application to
this case. 'J'he necessary inference from
your words is that Wallace Screws is a spy
and that the people in the heart of the
South, for whose information be was wri
ting, are enemies to the country. The pub
lic will spurn both of these imputations as
unworthy of the position you occupy and
the struggle in which we are engaged. The
offence of our correspondent, if offence it
may be called in repeating vague and un
certain reports about the movements of
ycur troops, is not so grave an offence as
that previously committed by yourself in
in authorizing the publication of a des
patch that your army was on the move.
Here is a dispatch which appeared in our
columns July 25th, by order of General
Bragg.
“Mobile, July 24.
“There lias been unusual activity at
Tupelo with in the past few days- 1'he
grand army under command of Gen. Bragg
is on the move, and the loyal people ot
Memphis may soon have occasion to re
joice. One or more divisions will pass
through here in a day or two rn route East.
I was not in the office at. night when this
despatch came, or we should not have
published it. Every body I met on the
street was surprised that such a piece of
information should be given an opportuni
ty to go to the enemy. On inquiry, how
ever, 1 was informed that the telegraph
operator at this place bad at first rOTused
to receive the despatch, but was assured
from Mobile it was by Gen. Bragg’s order.
Now no impartial man can read that des
patch and then read the following extract
from the letter of our correspondent, pub
lished July 20th, to which it is understood
you take exception, without ascribing more
guilt to you than to him, if your move
ments were made known.
“It is reported that a portion of Bragg’s
men came in to day, and that large num
bers are on the way.”
This report, it should he recollected, is
stated in the middle of a Ion
this pretension is, that whenever General
Bragg gets ready to interfere with me or
my paper, for the free criticism of men or
measures, I will very quickly test the ques
tion whether we are living under a repub
lican government or military despotism.
General Bragg perhaps forgets, or in the
ardor of his ambition to be made railjtary
dictator, he may be “regardless” of the
fact, that the right of habeas corpus, and
nf trial by jury, still exists in this country
He may imagine that he is developing
something of Jacksonianism by substitu
ting his will tor the regulations of the ar
my, hut if he will examine the record he
will find that Jackson disregarded the civ
il autnortv hut once—that was in a plain
case, of military necessity and when the
occasion had passed, he quietly give him
self t:p. It would be wise for weaker
minds not to venture to do as a rule what
Jackson did as an exception.
T he allusion of Gen. Bragg to the Cab
inet is entirely gratuitous and uncalled tor,
no reference having been made to it direct
ly or indirectly in my previous letter. I
am not in the habit, as is well known, of
going to the Cabinet or any other body of
men for my views. But after the mani
festation of ill-temper and defiance which
Gen. Bragg has thrown out, the country
and the army will he thankful to him for
the information, that there are men in the
Cabinet who are not “regardless” of.the
rights of freemen for which we are con
tending. And if those in authority have
even a small portion of the Constitution
and laws for which tiiev are given credit;
they will soon put a limit to your “little
brief authority.” My dear sir, you have
mistaken your opinion of yourself for great
ness, and in this you are as wide of the
mark as in attempting to substitute ser
vility for discipline.
Excuse me for the space which I have
devoted to your note, as I really felt that 1
could not do the subject justice in any
shorter compass. The time has come when
military martinets must be exposed and
denounced, or they will take charge of the
country. I am sure that the lives and lib
erties of citizens would be very unsafe at
the mercy of such men, and therefore
consider that I do the cause a timely ser
vice in protesting against them.
With respect, &c.,
Your obedient servant,
Samuel G. IIeid.
The Losses at Baton Rouge.—A i
correspondent of the Mobile Tribune,!
writing from Grenada under date of!
August 12th, speaking of the losses!
sustained at Baton Rouge by each at- :
my, says :
Our loss at Baton Rouge is now as
certained to be about 2-50, including
one Brigadier and three Colonels
wounded. Col. Allen, of the 4 th Louis
iana, is reported to have been reduced
to the necessity of having both of his
legs amputated, and will now probably
not recover. The enemy lo.- f one Gen
eral (Williams) and two Colonels.killed
outright. They acknowledged, under a
flag ot truce, received on the 10th inst.,
that their loss in men was about 1,000,
Your readers can thus judge for them
selves what is the nature and extent ol
the victory that is claimed for our arms
at Baton Rouge.
Correspondence of the Atlanta Intelligencer.
Knoxville, Aug. 28, 1862.
It is a most difficult matter to obtain in
formation that you confide in from a place
not more distant from this point than Cum
berland Gap, (fifty-seven miles). Officers
of the army and couriers arrive here horn
the Gap almost daily, yet the information
j-ou derive from even, these sources one
day, is very likely to be overthrown by the
accounts you will receive from a similar
source in the next twenty-four hours.
Deserters are coming over to cur army
A Word to Conscripts
It has become fashionable to imag
ine that there is something disgraceful
in being a conscript, and the boys by
the wayside consider that they have
full license to scoff and jeer at an enrol
led squad on its way to a camp of in
struction. We award that unspeaka
ble admiration and gratitude, which
is his due, to the volunteer who so
gallantly and spontaneously rushed to
the battle field at the call of his coun
try’s need ; but vve are not disposed to
think that there are none among the
conscripts who are not as brave and
patriotic as he. There are many—
who shall say not a major proportion 1
—among the conscripts whose hearts
are as fully in their country’s cause,
and who would as fearlessly battle tor
it as any volunteer, but who have not
engaged in the war simply for the
reason that their private obligations
and the necessities of their dependents,
rendered it absolutely impossible for
them to do so without sacrifices which
they had no moral right.to make; and
without reducing helpless persons
looking to them for support to want
and suffering. Their consciences
would not allow them to abandon
their individual obligations, and they
felt that when their country imperious
ly required their services, it wdultl
call for them in such manner that
they would be obliged to go, and all
the responsibilities of abandoning
what made them feel it necessary for
them to stay at home until the last
moment, would rest upon the govern
ment, and not upon their consciences.
Few voluntarily choose to endure the
severe trials that they can make up
their minds to bear cheerfully if obli
ged to.
We are reminded in this connection
of Scott’s reference in “Marmion” to
the feudal yeoman of Scotland, who i
owed compulsory military service, in i
his description of the gathering of the j
Scottish army before the battle of j
“Flodden.”
“Sober he seemed, and of good cheer,
As loth to leave his pottage dear.
And march oti foreign strand;
Or musing who would guide his steer
To till the fallow land:
Yet deem not in his thoughtful eye
Did aught of dastard terror lie—
More dreadful far his ire,
Than theirs, who scorning danger’s name,
In eager mood to battle came,” etc., etc,
Such conscripts, and we are glad to
believe that the majority of ours are
such, well vindicate the name of con
scripts on the battle field. The gal- j
lant soldiers of France are all con
scripts. It is an unpleasant feature!
of conscription, however, that the good
men in whose behalf we speak are in
the same category with the cowards j
and skulkers, and unpatriotic and dis-:
loyal, who deserve the contempt,
which has called down a shortsighted
opprobrum upon the whole class of
compulsory recruits, without except
ion: But let the public constantly
remember, that the conscripts are of
three classes—those who would have
gone to the war if they could ; those
who would not go if they could, and
those who could have gone and would
not. There are thousands of con
scripts who will prove before the war
is over, that they are worthy to be the
“comrades in battle” of our bravest
volunteers.

Ax Incident.—A correspondent of the

Bragg’s dispatch we published by itself to
the world uuder the telegraph head of
nearly every city paper in Confederacy,
where every-body’s atttention was at

that our papers arc received regularly
by the enemy, and if they are, they de
rive no information horn them of the move
ments of our troops. This the thousands
lions issued to the soldiers of the enemv is! from the camp near Richmond, relates
“an incident that occurred a few eve

But on the other hand, it is said that a day
or two before Gen. Smith got in the rear of
the enemy, a provision train of three hun
dred wagons reached the Gap, and that
the enemy have three weeks provis

It may be that the two apparent differ

of daily readers of this paper can testify the enemy Lave three weeks provision for

you, labeled as your own property, to be
used with impunity as long as you “con
tinue” to be surrounded by bayonets.
Gen. Bragg knows as well 1 do, that the
article to which he refers in relation to the
relief of Gen. Beauregard by himself does
him entire justice. It is notorious in the ar
my that his collision with the War De-
department had become so frequent pre
vious and subsequent to the retreat from
Corinth, that he was ordered to an inferior
command at Vicksburg, which order was
prevented from going into execution by
the interference of Gen. Beauregard, who
said Gen. Bragg could not be spared at
that time, as he, himself, would have to
ask for sick leave. This is a fact which
t should not have adverted to at this time,
hut for the vulgar terms in which Gen.
Bragg has been pleased to deny it.
When General Bragg intimates that 1
have assailed our cause and expose our
plans to the enemy, he invents a weak pre
text for the exercise of unwarranted au
thority. The idea of a man who every
day flagrantly violates the Constitution
and laws of his country—by usurping the
power for the. appointment and promotion
of officers—by making arbitrary arrests
without charges, and inflicting cruel and
unusual punishment without trial—the idea
of such a man imputing to me a want of
fidelity to the cause and threatening to as-
*ume a censorship over the public liberties
is supremely farcical. Ail 1-have to say to
how blissful was childhood’s uncon
sciousness of the pains arid sorrows of
life. Its sky is ever bright, its flowers
are ever blooyiing, and as we hear its
joyous shout and unstudied laugh, how
few of us sigh out.
