wholly without authority, and ought in be
tlisregaided, and contemned, and resisted.
Inimc.lialelv upon the secession of the sev
er.il States funn ihe(iovernmeiit of the I’nited
States, the present Confederate government
was framed almost precisely upon the old
model. Alter the interval ol a lew months,
during, which a provisional government pre
vailed. it was ratified. The President and Vice
President were elected, and the new govern
ment was toimally organized. Wo accord to
it all its lights. We recognize its authority.
We shall susWiin it lo the lull extent ot our
ability in its proper sphere.
Rut beyond this we shall not go. That gov
ernment ought to lie administered under the
fullest inspiration of the Constitution. It is a
government of s'lictly limited powers. The
existing war lias demanded the exertion of all
its strength, audit is to div engaged -actively
in detemUic.; our lenito.-y.
At the same time it must he said that Con
has conf.-iU'd on the administration am
pie powers. Money lias been voted without
stint. The acts of Congress to organize forces
lo serve dining the war, commonly called
- Conscription Laws,” give to the odmiuistia-
Foti authority over the whole lighting popula

So of the war. Kveiy act of Ihe Adminis
tratiun is j.istilie.l because ol the war. That
the Administration ought to receive the steady
and generous support ot the country in its
strenuous efforts to repel the enemy, no oue will
question. But. at the same time, it is true that
the rights of the "citizen ought to be respected.
Ihe gieat lanluiarks of constitutional liberty
ought to be left standing. When these are
overthrown, tyranny triumphs over right. A
lawless government is always a dangerous
government. Nor is that a "less dangerous go\ -

Rut those gentlemen, with a partiality and in

would have Mr. Boyce tried, condemned.ami

We have something to say iu reference to the
resolutions and speeches of this Columbia

They call for a sterner rebuke than auy thing
Mr. Boyce has written or spoken. Their rabid,
imprudent, and unjust denunciations of meas
ures looking to peace, and of the peace party
ol the North, are well calculated, coming from
thequaiter they do. to injure, our cause and
furnish capital to our worst enemies. We have
not a doubt that they grossly misrepresent the

been made to exchange immediately ten thou

is to be the point of exchange, and Captain

Cei. A. \\ T . Haliris of Worth County am n
Guv Brown'.--Ttie Albany Patriot a shoil
time since published a reported statement by
Cot. Harris charging G iveinor Brown with
partiality in shielding his own son from mili
taty sei vic» d*. la tlie Macon Intelligencer
of the 1 Ith we lind the following denial and
refutation of tlm ( barge. *
Tois statement is most unaccountable, and
we must iu charity suppose that Col Harris
levs been egregioiisly misrepresented by tlie
E litor. A plain statement of facts will show
that either Col. Harris lias done the Governor
groat injustice, or tlie Editor Las committed a
great wiring against him.
Governor Brown entered Ids s m in the Uni
versity High School at A* liens when he was
lift cti years of ago. At that time neither the
militia laws of the State, nor tlie Conscript
Acts of Congress, made him subject to milita
iy duty till he was eighteen years old. So
much lor the charge that the Governor entered
his sou at shool to shield him Item military
duty.
li.it this is not all. The school was conduct
ed as a Military Institute, and llis boys were in
service as part o‘s the local force, with the ope
ratives in the machine shops and factories in
that place, for the defence of Athens. Thus
the Governor's sou was placed in military serv
ice three years before he was liable. During
the past summer lie was almost as much of his
time under aims to meet threatened raids upon,
and to guard prisoners brought to Athens from
the section of the country above Alliens, and
fiom the raiding parties of the enemy, as he
wait at his hooks. Since the fall of Atlanta the
school has heeu moved to South Carolina, and
the Governor, refusing to send his sou out of
the State. transferred him to lire Georgia Milt
tary Institute, where lie now is, with the youths
in that school, under the command of Gen.
Gapers, forming part of the guard of the Capi
tol against raids. He does not ev. n board at
homo, though he is stationed in sight of it, but
remains day anil night on Ihe field as regular
ly as any member ol any oilier one of the nriii
taiy companies at that place, and is lvguhuly
in service, receiving only soldier’s fare, lie
has not yet attained au age which subjects
him to Confederate conscription, having just
entered his seventeenth year.
A word now- in reference to ihe sickly broth
er of Col. Harris. He is not in the ditches ;
was not when the- expression was used ; and
indeed never has been. Gov. Brown has been
tlie faithful iriend id the taaiily of Col. Harris,
when the militia were called out, upon a rep
resentation of the facts in the case of the bro
ther of Col. Harris, by Judge Harris, the fath
er, be promptly appointed nim a courier in bis
own otliee. where he now is. and lias been ever
since the militia were ordered to the front, the
Governor seeing that he was iiulit for active
field service, by reason of ids health. Col
Harris's brother, therefore, now holds a posi
tion in the Governor's otliee which the Govern
or could with propriety have given to his own
son, if lie desired to “shield him from service
as charged Instead of this, he put ins oVa
son in service, and has Col. Harris's brother do
ing duty in his own offlej where he is not ex
posed to any of the lulvors, dangers, or duties
of the ditches.
The statements attributed to Col. W. A. Har
lis, by the Editor of the Patriot, are so utterly
at variance with tho facts in the ease, and
shows so much deep ingratitude, that we are
obliged to think, the Editor is the party at
fault and that he owes it to Col Harris to
' retract the statements that Uo him so much
wrong.

admired your free i:i-t'rntions and have gln.l
ly witnessed your rise us i poopie to emiuenco
in wealth and political iiower. Von ;ir * of the
Sux'io blood, ar.d we hoped that you would
make the new world renowned for true great
ness. Von promise I to become one mighty
people and a meat nation, fined for the lib
erties of its citizens, tin- triumphs of peace,
and tlie conquests of its commerce. VVe felt
that you were doing honor to the “mother
country.” When, therefore, this unfortunate
wor began, our hearts were more inclined to
ward you than toward your sister States, be
cause we believed with you that the action of
the South was but the work of a faction
’I he events of tlie si aggie, however, have
convinced us that a more united people than
those of the Southern States never rose up in
defence of their rights.
When you asserted that secess’on was - the
work of disappointed sirn-liit *>n, and promised
to quell it within sixty days, we accepted your
assurances in good faith, and looked for" the
speedy restoration of peace We did not wish
to sen tint American Union broken tip
Rut fur from this promise being fulfilled,
(and yc-ur Htot is to accomplish it have been
great,) peace and tlm restoration of the Union
are apparently more remote than ever.
Surely there must lie many now among you
who share with us the conviction, that it is Ut
terly impossible to subdue the South, or to re
store the American Union as it was in the past
davs of the Republic.
You have tried sufficiently and found the
gulf between you and the seceded States to
widen with the effort that is made to subdue
them
Is it not time then to pause, and after calm
ly reviewing all that you have accomplished,
(lie distance which you have traveled from
your well known landmarks, and the diflicu!
tics and dangers that arc yet before von— is it
not time, we ask, that you should take counsel
togethei as to the best means of restoring
peace?
We cannot forget that the question of peace
or war wa ; never submitted to \ou for your
serious consideration he "ore hcstiltles had ac
tually commenced - that they came upon,you
little iiy little—and that both government"and
people found themselves plunged into this
fearful contest a'most unaware-;mor have you
as vet had ao opportunity of consulting, togeth
er in general for ihe putpose of
making and wishes about
ot it.
The war has the present at least)
the character of your government. What has
become of tlie freedom of speech, your free
press, and the in estimable right of the habeas
corpus ? ®
What, permit us - to ask, are the Southern
people doing beyond following the precepts
and example taught and practiced by your fa
thers and Iheirs. when they withdrew their al
legiance from the mother country, and assert
ed tlieir right lo establish a government of
their own ?
The declaration of Independence, which you
hallow atul celebrate every fourth dav of July,
asserts, as self evident, the right of the Soutli
eru people to set up a government of their
own.
But we would ask you, tuppose you should,
at the end of ano'lter three years ami a half,
succeed in subduing the South and restoring
the Union by force of arms, might you not th-n
tied out, when it w -s too late, that those pil
lars noon,which v ests your form of Govern
ment had been violently tom down, and that
your liberties had been buried in the ruins ?
If you will run the parellel between the South
now and the Colonies in 177 1! . and compare
t,iie course pursued by the North now and the
mother country then, we inink you will dis
cover some striking resemblances;'and among
them, that with you now-, as with the Crown
then, vests the privilege of giving peace to the
American continent.
Why not then, without further delay, recog
nise the duty which attaches to yont- high pri
vilege ? We appeal to you in the name of re
ligion, liurqanUy, justice and civilization, and
believe (hat we shall not appeal in vain.
Peace he unto you.

, As the first to sign this -address, in the fer

Three hundred thousand names were appen

have obtained those, of nine-tenths of our
country. They comprise, men of all ranks,
classes, religion and polities, and emanate from
every part of the United Kingdom of Great

It is cup carm\-;t desire that, your excellency

you may deem expedient, with a view to se

lIKAU'qRS Mll.ll'iky Rt\ IrtlON ok nip West i
October 17th, Ist; I
In assuming command, at this critical junc
ture, of tlie Military Division of ihe West I
appeal to my countrymen of all clas.vs and
sections, for their generous support and ci u -
lidence.
In assigning me toll D responsible position,
the President ot the Confederate States ha .
extended to me the assurance « f his earn A.-
snpport:the Executives of your States'meet
me with similar expressions ol their devotion
to our cause.; the imtde army iu the field, ei m
posed of brave men and gallant Olivers, are no
strangers to me. and 1 know that they will Mo
all that patriots can achieve.
The history of tlie past is written in the
blood of their comrades but Inreshadows (in
glorious future which lies before them In
spited by these bright pyom'ses of success, 1
make this appeal to the men uud women of mi
country to lend me the aid of their earncsi
and cordial co-opeialion Enable to join iu
the bloody conflicts of the field, they can do
much tostrerigthen our cause, till up our ranks,
encourage onr soldiers, inspire couii fence, dis
pel gloom ami thus hasten on tin* day of ons
tinal success arid deliverance.
The army of Sherman still defiantly holds
the city of Atlanta, he can and must he driven
fiom if. It is only for the good peop'e of
Georgia and surrounding States to speak the l
word, and Ihe work is done.
We have abundance of provisions, and there
are men enough in Ihe country, liable arid able
for service to accomplish the result, l’o all
such. I ea-nestly appeal to repott promptly to
their respective commands, and let those who
caunut go, see to it that none remain at home
who are able to strike a blow iu this critical
and .decisive hour.
To those soldiers ol the army who are ah
sent from their commands without leave, I ap
peal iu the name of their brave comrades, with
whom they have in the past so often shared the
privations of the oauip and the dangers of the
battlefield, to return at once to their duty. To
all such as shall report to their respective com
mands in response to this appeal, within the
next thirty (lays, an aipOesty is hereby granted.
My appeal is to every one, ot all classes and
couditi ns, lo come foiwatd freely, cheerfully,
and with good heart to the work that lies be
fore us
My countrymen ! respond to this call as you
have done in days that have passed, and’ with
the blessing of a kind and overruling Provi -
dence the enemy shall be driven from your
soil, the keeurify oi' your wives and daughters
from the insults and the outrages of a brutal
foe shall be established, soon to lie followed
by a permanent and honorable peace. The
claims of home and country, wives and child
ron, uniting with the demands ot honor and
patriotism, summon us to the field ; we can
not, dare not, will not fail to respond.
Full of hope and confidence, 1 ci me to join
hi youp struggle, share your privations, and
with your brave and tine men, to strike the
blow that will bring success to our arms, tri
umpli to our cause, anil peace to our country.

has been known for some days past that L'eiit.
Gen. Loogstreet has returned to Virginia, after
an absence of some months, in the South, J
whither he repaired to recruit his health and i
favor the convalescence of his wound, rcceiv- ;
ed near Fre lericksbiug, in Hay last. The sol- j
diers of his old command will gladly welcome !
him hack among them, and the country will ,
be r< juiced to learn that lie is once more in the '
field again, as the following general order will ’
show :
The undersigned, with deep and grateful
emotions, resumes command of his army j
corps . ’ ;
Although separated from it since the first
action of the past eventful campaign, the his- \
•tory of your share in that campaign is not un
known to him.
He has marked with pride and pleasure Hie
success which has attended your heroic efforts
under the accomplishecP commander who has
so worthily led you.
Soldiers ! let us not go backward ! Let the 1
Ist corps be always true to itself ! We have j
in the past a brilliant, an unsurpassed record.
lait our future eclipse it in our eagerness for
glorv, ouj- love and! country, and our determina-'
lion to beat the enemy.

Important Hark as Corpus Cases —The ofli
.cers of the various banks in this city, within
the military age, having been conscripted by
Opt. Anderson, applied to Judge Wingfield, of
the Bedford Circuit Court, for writs oi habeas
corpus, which were granted, and made return
able before Judge Marshall, at Campbell Court
House, on Tuesday next. The ground upon
which the applications for discharges by these
gentlemen is based, is that they are State offi
cers, and therefore not liable to service in the
Confederate army. The cases ate novel ones,
none of a like pharacter having heretofore, we
believe, come before the Courts in Virginia, aud
excite much interest. — Viiifuihot.
