Taa Sentinel, the accredited organ of the
administration at reffirriond, has devori > a
(Jolumn of malignant abuse to Gov. Brown and
ourself. This tirade of misrepresentation and
calumny has been adopted t>7 the Constltu
tlonqUst, having been trac'dtrred to its edi
torial columns, it may, therefore, be con
sidered ir. a joint attack by the two organs,
one bring principal and the other endorser.
We accept it an such, and shall treat it accord
l.'igiy.
A mote malicie ■<, un*crupulou?, and unjust
attack ucou a l-'.blir- ehjt'.' ’f*-. we do not re
member to have Been, than this arsauU upon
the fair fame of the Governor of Jfficrgia. It
is a tissue of wholesale min -presentations. To
jup.ve this, it is only net :wyto quote a
friugle extract ns a sarupto of £fao whole. The
Ben tin el rays :
While Virg'-nia banco nearly stripped hcr
relfof her officiate, white Alabama and Missis
lib- pi have done t!;o cam'-, the Governor of
Georgia'ha- kept lift eon thousand men out of
the servio-. 1 While this has bee? the earn, he
lias indulged in very a- rhaonijun criticisms, be
cause the defence of Virginia and other States
wan not abandoned, and our troops concentra
ted upon Georgia. Who can tell what differ
ent fortunes might have attended Gen. Jobn
tton and Gen. Hood, had Gov. Brown, allowed
these fifteen tb-.-usao-l 1“ mb proofs to have
ffoue into the b. ii ice That Georgia vrj, in
vaded at nil may bo faitly charged _ upon he.r
Governor. Why ho e uhl have disimUo per
dorm so unequal ;t part in t*-o war, to withhold
tifttf-A thousand menfro-.t she public defence,
lor purposes which in. Vim’nia require on-y
fourteen hundred, in Atetemm about a thou
sand, in ,->]l- .- sippi a buodrrd an-i ten, is odd
i ult to unlit rotund, and i.- slid harder to i* oou
ctfe to a be; oming Bence of honor and cf duty.
Jt is hardly necessary to etiy to the people of
Georgia licit too assertion of the Sentinel, that
Gov. Brown has kept dflevn thousand men out
of Uio service, is totally dertitute oi truth.—
Tjiey know that, lie has kept none out of the
service who should bo in it, but on the con
trary has order; and all from sixteen to fifty-five,
capable of bearing arms, to take tho field
sgainta the inva-ler.
As fir back i-.s last spring, when Sherman
began bis advance into Georgia, lli-.i Governor
ordered nearly ail tho . I.ac- olbcevs, including
the officers of the militia, to take the field for
th%defence of tli« Stale, jn response to that
call, a largo fore.- was crg.ttizdd under tho
command of Gt -i. Gustavos W. Sffliih, which
rendered gallant end efficient service in the de
fence of Allan! i. receiving the highest expres
sions of approbation from noth Goua. Johnston
and liood.
And since tho fall of Atlanta State
force, composed of these .--one State officiate,
ae foully aba ;--l and misrepresented by the
Sentinel, has been engaged in cheeking tho
advance of an army four ti.nea Its size, and
lighting I ittlea with I m courage and heroism
of veterans* And at this moment U is gallantly
j) u ticipating iu Ilia d-.d'euco of Bavaunaii.
■ Vet, jn tlio'la-j-i of tii.taa notorious facie,
kumvu to thew/hole’.couulry, and which have
already .pi-orai into history, the government
organ levs tlm assurance to bouul and taunt
those noble and patrlot-e man as bi n j-nroofs,
m skulkers fron»their c lu-u-yh; per.-ice, under
ouver of tho Governor'a exemption. At the
very moment, perhaps, when their assailant,
ealely ensconce 1 behind his editorial desk,
wan penning tbi* insulting epithet, the men to
whom he apple'l it, wovo with a courage and
.gallantry which b tvj elicited the admiration
and appla use of their countrymen, baring lhuir
breasts to*he- bullets of the enemy , am! lighting
with tho constancy of veterans, to belt dfofl!*.-sr
It iroio Georgian* who are now battling in de
fence of th-irbttU ■ .1 country, and of Ihe gal
l.int dead who have i'.i!!-mi io tho struggle, we
repel this opprr-bvioud in.v.-!!, and call upon tho
Sentinel and its backer, the Constitutionalist,
tj prove or retract;their assertions.
Wo go farther, and defy either ot thorn to
point 1 out those fifteen thousand Georgians,
otherwise liable to military duty, who rue
kept out ot the service by Gov. Brown. The
(wseition is a sweeping on \ It is made with
arithmetical exactness, and without any abate
ment or exceptions. It is specific and unequiv
ocal. Let us then have the proof of it, or
let it be retracted us the unfounded misrepre
sentation which it is.
Tho honor of Georgia is involved iu this
serious charge, emanating from the organ of
the administration at Uxhtr.' i.d, and vouched
for by one of her own newspapers. Ho great
er elur coil'd Iks* east upon her character
than that in this hour of her extreme peril,
when engaged in a death struggle with a pow
erful and rulld- i ? fao on her own soil, fifteen
tnousaud of her able-bodied citizens are with
holding their arms from her defence, under
exemptions from her Governor. But we me
J.nppy to be able to pronounce the charge as
baseless as it is malignant. The public pro
clamations of tho Gov, i a or, pit served among
tho archives of the State, and the record of the
prevent struggle, will enable the future histo
rian to give it a flat contradiction .■
It 13 BBMCfiSSHy for U3 tO DOtIOO tilO lilt U
etroud assertion of the St:iitin«-1, *• I hat Georgia
was invaded at aU may be fairly charged on
licr Governor." Ite historual falsity isf too
jialpable to require refutation. It is a dis
covery undreamt of before, that Georgia lias
failed to furnish her full, quota of troops to tile
Confederate armies. ’I bis will be newS to
her thousands of brave sous in Virginia who
for four years have been gallantly defending
that Mate. The slur comes with a bad grace
from a Virginia newspaper, lint we ven
ture the assert ion, without fear of successful
contradiction, that Georgia has come as fully
up to her duty in lids particular as Virginia or
any other State: and that Lor Governor has
been excelled by cone in his untiring .real and
efforts both to raise and sustain troops for the
defence of the South.
can ascribe this viru.erit p.ivl unscvu.'U—
lous attack of the administration organ upon
our worthy Governor to but one motive—a
well founded jealousy of bis great and in
creasing popularity throughout ihoSoiiib. the
result of his ardent devotion to the cause of
Southern independence, ami the manly stand
he has taken; in defence of ths rights and
sovereignty of the States against the attempt
ed encroachments of the central government.
At all hazards, his increasing popularity muit
b) chicked. But we would caution the organ,
in its future attacks to keep a little more with
ir the bounds of truth ard probability ; ar-d,
before it again a'leinpts id meddle with the
affairs of Georgia, to at least possess itse'd of
soino correct information in reference to them.
As to the animadversions and slurs upon
ouiself, we regard them with equal indiffer
ence and contempt. We adhere to the position
that a sufficient share of the military forces of
to a States has been committed to the hands cf
the President, and tint Geo: gia should retain
the con'rol of the remnant left for her own de
•e-c-i. tad tee maintenance cf her sovereign
ty. We are happy to know tha'.Gov. Bonham
of South Carolim has taken the same position,
and is austaii edin it by that State.
The rebuke which we gave Mr. Staples, the
introdurtr of an important resolution intended
to dictate to the Governors of the States, as to
the officers necessary for the administration of
their respective governments, has been moie
emphatically reiterated by the' Confederate
House of Representatives, in Us rtjectiou of the
resolution.
The stale and oft answered slur upon us that
we are from New England could only emanate
from an -opponent bard pressed to sustain
a tottering cause. What that has to do with
she correctness or incorrectness of our posi
lions, a diecerntug public is uuufbe to see. We
regard with equal scorn and defiance the nar
row spirit that would seek to
make invidious distinctions among our people,
and excite prejudice and distrust against
Southerners of Northern birth who, as officers
and privates in our armies, and as citizens at
home, are giviug their blood, their means and
influence so (he support of the Southern cause,'
and have indentified their fortune? and their
nil with iis success.
Such a base and unworthy effjrt to excite
sectional jealousy and prrjudico among our
own people could only have originated from
ttu editor fresh from tho purlieus of Washing
ton city, ibat political Sodom, reeking with
political corruption, chicanery and trickery.
Tho Sentinel editor, when he started South,
ought to have left his bad traits and vicious
tricks behind, lie will find they will do him
no good ottside of Richmond.
Yaxeru Cotton Tkach Reuclattons—The
Louisville Journal gives us an entirely different,
version of the rules prescribed by the Yankee
Government to regulate the cotton trade, from
that lurniahed by the Memphis journals some
ilays since. Three agents are to be appointed,
to ha located severally at Nashville, Memphis
and New Orleans. They are to purchase, on
account of the Government, all cotton brought
into them at two-thirds cf the current rates in
New York city on the day of delivery. But
the cotton in districts yvhere slavery has been
abolished under tho proclamation of President
Lincoln must have been raised by compensated
labor, if it is the product of the present yeai.
Tennessee is excepted from the scope of the
proclamation, as Kentucky and other States
were by tiiat instrument. Tho payments to
bo made by tho Governwenf agents fur those
purchases, will be one-third in cash gad uvo
tiiinfs iu certificates of indebtedness, which
certificates will he taken up r -s BWP as the
agents have time to send the cotton to New
York, t-ffi ct its gale, and receive proceeds of
s.du If th. t (oltcn is brought from the States
iu Insurrection, and it is the wish of the seller
to receive in exchange or in part payment of
goods, he will be permitted to transport Bitch
articles as are not contraband of war tuwlhe
amount of one-third of ids sales. These are
the chief features of the regulations. *
fa ■( up tub Road.— Welt urn from genlle
raen up the road that the people are returning
to their old homes.
The Georgia Railroad track has not been ns
badly damaged in some sectious as at first re
coiled. The road from Stone mountain to
Lithonia is in good running order, with the
except ion of about one mile, which General
Slocum’s corps destroyed afUr k-aving the main
army, in their route tor the east side of Yellow
riv r. From Lithonia to Alcova bridge tho
road is completely destroyed. From theAl
cova down to Oconee it is only tapped occa
sionally, and can bo easily repaired.
A Nkw Confeokrata Steamwb— We are in
i', lined officially, by tbo London Index, that
Lieutenant Waddell, of the Confederate States
Navy, hoisted his flag on a now steamer, the
SliPiiundoah. She received her crew, armament,
&e., on the high seas,far from any neutral juris
diction, and is said to V>o a better vessel than
the Florida.
Latest feom Gen. I’kice.'s Abmy. —A letter

G- n. Price had returned from Missouri with

'—We ler.rn that Mr. Campbell, ot the tele

f> Atlanta to re-open the telegraph office in
that city.
The Fall of Crsbobsb. —A nobler and a
b v a soldier never breathed iho atmospheres
of the bat*la field than Major General Patrick
Cleburne, who fell in the light of Harpeth
Or€t*k.
General Cleburne’s history, civil and milita
ry, is too well known throughout the whole
biographical sketch at our hands. Ho was an
I ilhman by birth, and a fcouthciner i y adop
tion—a soldier from choice and by education.
I- r * serv 'd when quite a youth in the Br.tish
service, where was inculcated those soldierly
tinaii'ies ot discipline and training which have
leudered him distinguished in the present war.
Wiiea he first emigrated to this country he
settled in Arkansas, where he studied and
practiced law, and .in that profession had pre
vious to tiie struggle, formed a partnership
with the present Major Gsn. T. C. Hindman.
When the war commenced, he enlisted as a
private, was made Captain ol his company, was
afterwards elected Colonel of his regiment,
and hem one grade to another gradually rose
to the eminent position he held at the time of
Ids fall. Among his contemporaries he was
distinguished hr soldierly quality and fora
correctness of judgment in tue council of war
and upon the field of action, which gave his
opinion areat weight and influence. He en
deared himself to hiadevoted troops, and was
the admiration ami respect of every soldier in
; the army, by attention to their general welfare
! and by his gallant bearing upon ihe field, and
dsis cool, intrepid behavior in the horn of bat
tie. The country has not sustained a greater
loss since the death of ihe lamented Jackson.
The nrn>v of Tennessee monras the loss of its
right arm, which has iwice saved it from dis
aster. The Confederacy weeps over the hero
ic form of her adopted sou.— Mai.

ITor. Waller R hippies, of Vinjbiia.
Sia: -In what purports to be a published
synopsis of a recent discussion in the iiuuso of
Representatives in Congress you are reported
to have stated that the number of persons ex
empt from conscription by- raa in this State in
cluding the Miiiiia in State service, amounts
to about 15,000 men.
As this publication has produced a very er
roneous impression upon the public mind, and
as I cannot suppose you intend to misrepresent,
or to do injustice to a State which has cone
her whole duty to the cru-e and to ti e Conled
erucy. and which, I inir.ir, - may say ut
ciisDarageme: t, has had under arms (luring the
past summer and fall, a larger proportion to
her white male population than nnv other
State in *fce Confederacy ; I take the liberty to
publish this note addressed to you, to coirect
an error into which you have fallen.
Os the 15,000 men’to whom you refer, ail but
about 1,450 are the Militia who now are, and
most of them for months past have hern in
ac'ive military service under the command and
control of a Confederate General, confronting
the enemy.
These 1,450 are composed of Judges of the
Supreme and Superior Cc-u. it, Justffi sos the
1 Inferior Courts, Sheriffs, Clerks, Ordinaries,
Tax Collectors and Receivers, and are abso
lutely necessary to the existence of the- Stats
Government A largo proportion of them are
over 50 years of age, and would not if out of
office be subject to Confederate conscription.
The Miiitia organized and in servioe, are
composed partly of county officers under fifty
years of age, partly of Confederate bonded
exempts, and partly of men detailed by Ihe
Confederate Government as a-irieulturlsts, So.,
who are held by the Supreme Court of this
State, to be subject to miiitia duty, and have
been ordered by me into active service as part
of the militia. Much the larger part, how
ever, is composed of boys between lo and 17.
and old men between 50 and 55 years of age,
who, under the laws cf Congress, a-e not sub
ject to Conlederate service. Ail these must,
in your estimate, bo set down as exempt bv
the Governor from service in the Confederate
armies, when they arc, in fact, exempt both by
the laws of Congress and of the Stati?Legisla
ture. I will remark further, in this connec
tion, that the State officers in Georgia are de
clared exempt from conscription', not by an
thorifV of the Governor, but by a joint resolu
tion of the General Assembly of the State.
Georgia seceded from the old Union to protect
her rights and maintain her sovereignty, ami
she will, in her new alliance, neither permit
the “entire machinery of her State Govern
ment to be stopped,” her “Courts of Justice
closed,’’ the •• authority of bet Magistrates
suspended,” nor her “ State lines to be oblit
erated.”
Neaily fifty regimenis of her sons have
spent years under arms in Virginia, apd those
of them who survive are now defending the
Capitol of that glorious old Oommonv. ealth,.
while a powerful array marches through their
own beloved State—occupies and desecrates
tbeir own Capitol—burns their cities and vill
ages, destroys hundreds of miles of the Rail
roads of their State, and plunders them of
their property, leaving their wives and child
ren without bread.
Their Executive asks for aid, and especially
that the sons of Georgia may be p-irmitted to
return and strike a blow in her defence. It is
denied, and she is le*'t without an infantry
force, while her Capitol-is the headquarters ot
General Sherman, to confront his powerful
army, except the Confederate Reserves in the
State, and the State offl :er» and the Miiitia Re
serves, amounting in theaggiegate to a few
thousand men, many of them with but little
physical strength to endure the hardships of
the camp. Not a thousand men of alt her large
number cf splendid regiments and battalions
of veteran infantry in Confederate servio:,
ware left upon her soil, or permitted, prior s■'
thi occupancy of her Oapßol by the enemy,
to return to her, when her territory was being
overrun', her cities, towns, villages and private
dwellings sucked ar.d burned.
With these facta before you, I leave it to
your own judgment ash, nisnof candor, which
your character ns a Virginia R;.presoSt“ ,iv o
authorizes me to assume, whether your pub
lished remarks do just’ce to a State whose
suns have acted as gallantly, and made as
great sacrifices as any others, upon the soil of
Virginia, and whether my State should with
her late sad experience, turn over to Confed
erate control her State officers, and her old
men and boys, to bo taken from her limits;
which would leave her perfectly powerless
even to ward oif the blows from vital point.-,
should the armies of Uio enemy again p iss o\ax
her territory.
Had tho-sons of Georgia been permitted to
return to tho soil of Georgia, as asked by her
Executive a short time since, the.army ot Gen.
Sherman would never have passed over it, nor
desecrated her Capital.
Very respectfully, &c„
Joseph E. Iffiowx.
Diplomacy. —We positively tefiise to accept the
theory of Mr. Davis and his adherents that to
gain independence wo must light to the last
man and to tbejast ditch More than that, we
believe but, few w bo found willing to car
ry the war to that desperate extremity before
making further efforts at negotiations. BUta-te
demagogues may bellow (ill they grow hoarse
that the advocates of diplomacy are traitors
end recor.fitrnci ionist?, tut it will not check
the advance of reason. It is idle to deny that
the evar is unpopular, and those politicians are
mad who imagine that the people can bo in
duced tosacrifice the last drop of blood in the
last diich without lurther effort to Fettle the
war by negotiation r-s well as by brute force
Ascertain as the rising of the sun, the senti
ment of the country everywhere is for peace.—
The soldiers oi the army think of it and dream
of it. The anxious mother and sister and
lather talk of it at ways. The people will at
length tako this matter out of the hands of
politicians end parly lcadeis. The change is as
inevitable as doom.
Men of reason and judgment begin to sec
that the exhaustion policy may wear us out
long before it does the enemy. We piosnm*
‘no man will undertake to dispute the.! the North
by ap immense vote, has determined to enter
ihe war for another four years. Docs any sen
sible man bsjive the soldiers of the army are
willing to serve another four years’ appren
ticeship, without an effort at negotiation on
the part of those who manafeo the Govern
ment? Are the unfortunate people (f the bor
der, oppressed by the presence of the foe, anx
ious for four moio years of these tender mer
cies, without some other tiiitn Ihe long defer
red promise iof the returning Confederate arm
ies which never come? Are we prepared to
stand four more years of block uh ? Have we
four years’supplies ol clothing for the troops?
In a word, qau thocountry stand four more
years of such a war under such a management
as the present bluudeiing r.nd threatening
and accoinptislfing nothing either by arms or
diplomacy;
It is worse than folly io tell the people there
is no alternative for them but annihilation or
independence. They know better. The pub
lic servants had as woll turn their attention to
this question of peace, and if lhey cannot de
vise temedies for the relief of the difficulties
which surround us other than the eacrilioe of
the last soldier and the last reserve, they had
at least better evince a disposition to make an
honest efiort. —Mordgomery Mail.
Secbet Sassioxs.—This abomination, which
has changed our form of Government, and
subverted the Constitution of the Confederate
States, is still pet suited in by a majority of
the members of Congress. We have uo longer
a Representative Government—the Represen
tative responsible to, and the servant of his
constituents!. By a bold coup d‘ (fiat, the tables
have been turned, and the servants have be
come the masters of the people. Are the pa
tient. tax paying, loyal people ot this Confed
eracy, who have poured out their life blood
like water, tmd lavishly expended their sub
stance, to save the land from the despotic rule
of Abraham Lincoln, to be cheated r.nd en
slaved by a set of miserable political mounte
banks and jugglers, as corrupt and contempri
ble as the Illinois rail splitter himself? Are
they willing to see the theory of Representa
tive Government practically subverted?
But how can they help themselves? Let
them hold meetings, and request every mem
ber of Congress who favors secret sessions to
resign at piise.—jJMcts Watchman. •

A Few Thoughts foit -ra« People.—A waiter
in the M'tmlg.dneiy Appeal, in un at tide upon
tbo l’l'i't-idcnthnnerfeage, makes some mtpges
tions worthy of ctn*kly*:*Uou. Mere they are :
Let the public citiaider the slate of thi. gs
when any officer of Government, high or low,
shall be clothed with the power and changed
wiih the duty of deciding what divlnp shall
continue to serve bis congregation, what ptiy
tiician shall heal the sick, who sba’l till the
earth, ;v!-;d quantity of t od ami clothing shall
be produced, and vho shall he chosen to pro
duce them, and-who are most fit and most re
quisite to instruct the children of the land 1
What knowledge short ot Divinity is equal to
these tasks, what justice ot that God is
fit for theirdhchaigo?.
A people so lost to all virtue as to submit
(osuch power, would have lost all c#pac'ty for
> isber independence or freedom. The public
press would become hushed into silence or
would but echo the voice of a despot. Q.iiet
might reign, but it would he the quiet oi the
night.
Let us not 11-for onnlvn with the dobis'ci
that a people’s f, dom will bo preserved when
(bey cease to be its sentinels. If we look to
our own eventful history, we s,o»a continual
desire of the President to have the writ of ha
beas corpus kept suspended; wo see every vil
lage infested tv till a parcel < f minor military
subordinates who do little rnoco than impede
the Government and infringe upon the liberty
of ihe people; Audit,!* nosy proposed to destroy
the freed- m of the press by placing it immedi
ately under the will of the Executive; to tub -
mit the religions worship of the country, iia
education, and even ifs bread and ms at and
clothimr, !o lbe President's will.
The President's zeal has blinded him, and his
tr inliuf and ambition in one direction have
misguided him. The way to win onr confi
dence >s not to crush the spirit of freedom.
Liber! y has never been won c-r preserved by
acts of despotism. The goal st which wo are
aiming is that of freedom. It is for this v. e are
seeking independence.
