patriotic and timely appeals of President Davis

in his bosom, to go back to. the s’ent and nnwew

WKi'.RE GEOfiUI 1 Is TO UK DKFI;\»KB.
From an editorial in the Rebel of the 7th inst.
We make tbo following extract:
In tb s crisis we rely upon one man more than
say oiuer. Georgia has* to-day a Governor o
< courage and ability. We believe Joseph E. Bi„Wi
to be a true patriot and a sagacious man. Georgia
Is ibe Egypt ol the rsoutu, and he is its Jusepu
in peis 'u, as wet! as m mime. It ho would de
tenu Georgia-dun post is along the tine ot th>
( Tennessee river. Let him cume und look for him
Beit. Ue will see a net worK ot bills, the ao>
potent oarricsdL* usinre ever devised tor loco
deience. He will distuver no other point wbiet
presents any part ol the advantages held ou
along tbo line now wisely chosen. Ho will not
fall lo observe that ibis onsc lust, all Georgia it
lost Tutn let bun return, put his hand and urns
clea to the work, muster fits fellow-oil,zsn i, a>
buss coutiuuua and march hither. It only to
three mouths, it wilt be sudicient, und he and hit
peupio will have re.gum lo ble-a God lot the ene
ot tneirdoys.
Tbo views expressed ia the above in xelation tt
the deieuee of Georgia nro correct; for if the lint
of the Tennessee River and Cumberland Moon
tains is loet, our own elate will then become tin
theatre of war, and North Alabama and Georgia
Will be laid ojrea lo the predatory inclusions o
the enemy. If we would save our State ironi thi
horrors of iuv&siou it must be successfully de
fended on the soil of Tennessee.
. THE GOVtll VOn OK ALABtMt
There is no gouijt oi ttte election oi Hon. Thos
H. Watia to the Guoernatoruil chsir of Alabama
for the iwo years ensuing. Mr. Watts is at pre
sent Attorney General for the Confederate States,
to which olbca he was called from the army bj
President Davis. His majority is very large—
probably larger ihan any man has ever receiver
lb that State. Considering tno high charnctei
*f his predecessor, and ihe absence of any vita
Jitusa cell re the people, bis election is a higl
compliment lo bis distinguißhed ability and ex
tilled worth. An exchange justly remaika thai
the Slots of Alabama bss no troer, better mar
within her borders. He Is thoroughly honest ano
COBscimticuß, and has, perhaps, loasof selfiib oi
prrty tricxery about atm than eoy other public
Ssa ol bis day.

We make ite loliowiug extract from an editor
rin! la the Richmond Sentinel ot Piiday ;
laa late number of the Cbarieeton Mercury, n
correspanclem ol that paper gave to me puolic a
report that d ?»ied through our etreate for a dav
or two, to the cil«*ct that the Pre.-.;Jbnt and Gen
eral Lee had a quarrel, and that General Leshad
tendered bis rcMga&uou. In the Mercury, of the
8d lust., tbe comßpondfcooe follows up the sub

“It ia >aid the dithculiy beuveeu Davis ancl L*?e

It aould give great disireM and uneasiness tc
ihe Country so believe that General Leo was ai
war With the Freaiueat, übd ihreateamg to resign,
by the wuoie force of ihegroat estoem which iht
people feel for General Lee, aud their conddenc
in him, it would dishearten them to bear of each
