[From the 'hxv.-n C -ler t-cy ] KXBMPT»O>H FROM VO »KKI)KRAI K *ER*' Vli K »V STATE AtITHOKII V. The Richmond Enquirer, which is usually * at Richmond, on receiving the telegraphic gynopnii of Gov. Browns mee-age, indulged in a string of ill-natured, scurrilous and unjust remarks about him and the Slate of Georgia, shall take occasion hereafter to no tice. For the present, we shall consider only the subjoined extract from the article ; While Gov. Brown pretend < that there tire only 14000 exempts in the State, and most of these over age, the records of the Conscript Bureau exhibit 8229 > eX‘ nHitioUß ot able-bodied men, between the agesot 18 and 45, exempted hy State authority rn the Si,tie ot Georgia as annexed : Jindices of the peace 1850 Tax Collectors • 1350 Militia officers 2751 Clerks, etc,, of Courts 1581 Governor and State officers 270 Justices inferior Courts 000 Deputy Clerks Superior Courts 101 Total 8,220 This is a fair speiiincn o: the xecklessn -a with which the Adm umtration jMcsis o Vir ginia persistently misrepresent 05v. llrown and the people of Georgia. We have not the records ot the State before us, not do We know the precite number’ot persons exempted Iroin Confederate servi jh—w>t by the Governor, tor he does not make the exemptions— hut y the Legislature, which ‘has dec!»red who iiili be exempt. Home time since thy Got fernor published a letter which he had addressed to i lon. \Val ter U. Htaples, of Virginia, that gentleman had stated, in his place in Congress, that Georgia hud exempted liile»n thousand men from conscription, iucluduig the militia. He, too, got his figures from the records of tae Conscript Bureau, iu his letter tlie Covered showed that the whole number exempt'By the Htate from military service was i. o. ui 115(1 Now a Virginia editor <r, .»< -i iit.-s ex erupted 8221) oflicers. *5.:. -i leave but, <5771 militia, according to Nlr.- Htap.ori, when we all know that the Governor ima some 10,- 000 organized, lhat Conscr.pt Bureau, must have several sets ot records so as to suit any occasion. The Governor m rep y to Staples, showed tlmt only about 1150 were exempt from military service by Htate au thority, and that these were made so by the Legislature, not him. Let us now examine the Enquirer’s exhibit. To show its utter untruth fulness, in all re spects, it is only necessary to notice two of die items, which are but specimens TJkj organ editor asserts that the records of the Conscript Bureau show that there are 1350 lux Collector exempt. Now, every man in icorgia knows that wo have only ouo Htate Tax Collector in each county and that the.e are but 132 comi ties in the Htate. bake 132 from 1350 and iii leaves an error of 1218,' w ich the editor makes against the Hint , in a single item.. But the error Is greater than tills; for it is well known that a large proportion ol these 152 Tax Collectors are not able bodied men, but are invalids, wounded imd disabled soldiers, or men over conscript age. Another item is 1581 “Clerks, etc., of Courts.” Now vv e have 132 counties. Bach county has a clerk of (be Superior and a ciesk of the Inferior Court, which lit must could be only 264 ; but it must be recollected that in a largo number of the counti ts—probably* a ina joruy of them—these two cieikmbps are liiiod by the same man, and he often over military age or distpialilied for service by wounds or other disability. Wo s say tin re is in this item, an error against the iitate, which cannot possibly be less than 14000. We give the foregoing as a . ... obac i illus tration of the conduct oi those pusses m other States which abuse Gov. Brown and his ues sage—some of which will uofpubhsh the mes sage, and all ol which are afraid ot the power ol truth uud will not let their readers a* v They tjre elthtr very badly posted üb.mt. Geor gia alwirs or have uoregaul loi author pro priety, as exhibited in ihoir wanton a- mils upon the Governor and people of ; - ..do Ui.u bus given more blood uud treasure to luo Con federate cause than any other Hi at. We advise the Enquirer to post itseil'better on its laets, make a heavy tall on its ligures, and not make any more state-luents about, i: matter till it ascertains the correct number ol exempts in Georgiu, declaim to bo mu. 1 .-, not by the Governor, but by ihe Legi i tuie ami the Hupreme Court ol the State. TUB COM II l« l'. * 00V. BROWN ANl> Tilt* PRESIDENT—TUB RK'.iUDY PROPOSED BY EACH. At th« commencement of Che sp< <■ ial h. ion of the Legßlc.ture.wliioLi has but jus: dosed, Gov.

Convention of the people bo called, that they, whose lives, liber ty and property were at stake, jnb.Ul advise what was best to be done. When the Gov ernor's message was published, tlioso men who live upon the patronage and enjoy i'no special favors of the President, were very indignant They iinmediatly declared (ho Governor a traitor for having taken such a gloomy and discouraging view ol our national affairs ; sard his message was calculated to discourage our people and make our soldiers desfrt. and that the Governor ought to be hanged as a tom— In a hip weeks President Davis -.. ■* te> Con gress a special message iu 'which he takes a more gloomy view of our public • cun Gov. llrown did, and the same mo who de nounced the Governor lor ar-v; :> < x >r * situation to the enemy aud to the worm, onol aud praise the President to the kks for \- ing done the same thing, and in their tion what was (reason and deserved -i. iu o r in the Governor, was magnanimity and m: .me patriotism!! in the Pi evident, t-u-nis can dor aud such the consistency of tin o.e ou Presidential favors- But let us look at the remedy by the two meu.

Hill has again “appeared in: print” His letter addressed to a young ladv ; ,j| Mobile, mis a column aud a halt in some of om exchanges. H“ is a generous patron oi the daily press. Editors should feet under re i newed obligations to this young Senator, i |y should make the customary ackuowl edgemtnts He would not destroy the press. Mejwouid conscribe it, and place ft under I the die';* urn of the Hecretary of War. He I vvculd . tablieh a censorship over it He would have H to speak oniy the language of I unqualified eulogy. It must hot aspire to | freedom of thought and open discussion. It | must learn ta bend the supple knee topo wer that | ‘thrift may foliown tawing.’’ He maybe right, I but herein we differ : We concede Lia right, j under our system of government, to entertain I and express nis individual opinions, however j much they may be at Variance with our own. iHe would deny tbi- privilege to the press. | His reasons are, substantially, that all editors | and others who write for the public press can j not dissent from the opinions entertained by I himself and Mi. Davis without working great injury to the cause. But to his last epistle. W e extract: “Since my arrival I have been almost con stant ly engaged going, talking and speaking, to antidote-the poison of our Governor’s late message.” I his js the only count in his bill Os indict ment -against Gov. Brown’s Message It is ••poison ' Mr# Hill happens to be * Senator. He takes it for ‘granted that any assertion which he may see proper to make, needs no ,specifications or evidence to support it. ihe young lady to whom he writes will believe whab he asserts, ihe public will of course be i'-veit. Why trouble himself to controvert utements, produce facts, or dedif ••,; argu ments.' He did not come to Georgia to analyse the “poison ” Hi? simply came ,to “antidote Hie poison”'by “going, talking and speaking.” in this, he says he has “reason for tjie eomior iuh.-u belief t .at he has been of some service to the, people of the dear old Hi ate.” • Further on, in this epistle, Mr. Hill says; “Burdens have been heavy,and must he hotv ;<‘i. | he. recreants, even now, are as two to the laitaful one; and the first will increase, and the latter-diminish. ivory an l : “A mean sipited, cowardly wn;toh; one who yields in combat and cries for mercy.’’ Ye gods! and two -Hurds' of the Southern people—especially those ol Ge rgia --are of this stamp ! Woise stili, t hose two thirds “wui continue to increase.” while the faithful third “continue to diminish ” *This must bo true, for un honorable Senator hath asserted it, and who would dare to question the correctness of any assertion he msy make? •Alas, then, tor our boasted-“chivalry.” Well may Mr. Hew.-iil file tills epistle away along side with the President’s Macon speech. Os course it, will give no “aid and comfort to t,lie enemy.” ■ Further on Mr. Hill says that : .“We have native traitors apd immigrant spicii in cur midst holding high offices and editing ou? papers,-and adroitly, earnestly, sowing i he,seeds ol disaffection and disunion among our people; and these traitors and spies will iocri use in number and boldness.” Cannot Ur. Hill be a little more specific in hischirge? ••Native trailers.”. Vice Presi dent Stephens and Governor Brown aie both natives of Georgia. Did he mean those two gentlemen by “native traitors holding high offices ” ll not, whom did he mean ?• Again: Among the nine editors connected with the leading ptesses ot Georgia, we can find but otu; who was born North of the line Why, then, does Mr. Hill employ the plural form? Among the five Georgia editors who have committed the unpardonable sin oi clit f; ring with the President concerning the vs •lorn ol ttie policy set lorth in his lute Message, (>■ ' the propriety of certain appointments to office, we find but one wfio is not a native Huuthrou i tuee of the five are- native G- or giaus.

Parker vs. Raughmunn—Clark vs.. Brady : Habeas Corpus.— L. The power of Congress to raise armies by conscription is nut restricted to men able for a five service in the field, but extends to such also as, though unable for that service, are capable of performing the duller of “provost or hospital guards, or clerks, or clerks’ guards, agents, employees ar laborers in the commissary, quartermaster or ordnance departments, or ol clerks or employees of navy agents, or the djuttes requisite in the execution 6t the enrollment Acts, or other similar du ties.” The Bth section of the Act of Feb. 17, 1864, entitled “An Act to organize forces to sejrye during the war,” is therefore constitu tional. . 2. In executing that section of the Act, It is necessary that the report ol the Board of Sur geons should 1 specify the particular duty for which each man is capable. A report in gen - eral terms, fbat the conscript is fit for light duty, Is not sufficient.

We Lave refrained Jiitherto from any ex tended comment ou this remarkable document, oec »use we first desired to spre'ad it before our readers iu our own columns, in order that they might the bettor judge of our proposed stric tures. Haviug done this in a late issue, we are no w ready for an intelligent aud .dispassionate discussion of its merits. Some men seem to be “bora out of due time.” Ca.irles I. ot England, aud Louis XVI. of France, are memnraVito truth. i’Ut: former, iu the age of the Tudois aud Fiautaganeta, would have been esteemeil i model monarch ; and the latter, at almost my other-period than the latter half oi the eighteenth century, wmdd have ranked with the most illustrious sivereigns of France, Be ing misplaced in point of time, they both brought ruin on themselves, their adherents, and their country. We fear that impartial his tory will place President Davis in the same category, yet we trust with a train of le§s dis unions results. No man can ilse up from a perusal of his late special message without a. profound conviction that he has well nigh de spaired of ihe Republic ; and that he is wholly incapable of grappling with the tremendous issues of this great struggle.' Despite the cus tom.uy prophecy of ultimate triumph, there ia iu the message a virtu tl oontessiou ot our weakness ; or, rather we might say, an acknow ledgement of disappointment and failure. Such an admission, coming from that quarter, can not but have a depressing effect on the whole country ; and already.we are told that the Nei thern press is jubilant over the ingenuous utterances ot this unprecedented document. Having stated the perilous condition of tho country without reserMfc or mitigation, he pro ceeds to urge the adoption of a series of meas ures, the least of which can only be justified on the hypothesis that the Government itself ia on the brink of utter overthrow. A single glance at them will satisfy the most servile partisan of the President that they arc incompatiblg with any or all constitutional limitations of Executive power, and render him is fact if not in form aB absolute as a Ro man Dictator, or even a Russian Autocrat. Two of these measures would lor him the unlimited control of the whole military power of the country ; the reserved militia so necessary to the execution of the laws of the State, and deprived of which it hardly pos sesses evon the semblance of sovereignty, is claimed as a matter of strict constitutional right. Furf-hermoie, Congress is asked to re peal all class exemptions, which would em power the President by a well arranged sys tem of details, to regulate the pulpit and press, rendering these grand moral iustrumentalitiee wholly subservient to Presidential designs. Again, he asks for such a modification of the impressment policy as will enable him to ap propriate to the use of the army such portion of our agricultural piwducts as he may deem necessary. Nor is this to be done upon pay . ment of just compensation, as the constitution requires, but, as we conceive, in a manner in the last degree arbitrary and oppressive. Mr. Davis him ?elf allows that this measure is ob jectionable, but thinks it jus.ified by au impe rious necessity. Another measure is urged upon Congress, which is evidently a forced loan under color of a Tax Bill, it levies a tax of twenty five per centum on the coin in the Confederate States, to be paid iu kind; and this in addition to the other grievous burdens already imposed ou the capital industry of the country. It needs no elaborate argument to show that as a strictly revenue measure, such a Tax Bill de feats itself. Every possible shift and evasion will be resorted to for the purpoao of escaping its enormous injustice; and it will turn out that its oniy financial value will consist i l the loan which may be obtained from heavy capitalists and our various moneyed corporations. Lastly, he renews aud presses with earnest ness hiri application for authority to suspend the writ of habeas corpus. He asks for this, however, not only for himself but in behalf of every District and Department Commander —thus placing the personal liberty of every citizen of the Confederate States at the mercy of a host of irresponsible officials. The base proposition shows what alarming progress we have made in the direction of centralized and absolute power. Ail the grievances which our section,endured under the old Uuion, and they were r.oUlifr few nor amall, were trifica in comparison with such an act of tyranny as this would prove, Verily the little finger of Rebo boam would be mightier than the Sol omon. Shell an act of tyranny would reach every firesidq m the land, ‘and convert every County and State prison Into a bastile as dreadful as the dungeons of the Spanish In quisition. This batch of measures we do not hesitate to say would revolutionise our Government. Whatever might be its constitutional form, it would in sot,, r truth become a monarchy as absolute -ts the Stuarts or the Bourbons ever desired Thank God ! that there was sufficient firmness in the Senate to reject some at least of these odious measures, and that there was honesty enough at the same time to administer a most withering rebuke to the au thor of them. Let us cherish the hope that this timely admonition will induce more mod erate ecu use la thau have lately prevailed at Richmond, so that in future there may be no occasion for such criticisms as we have now written ‘more in Sorrow than in anger.” AC* nok.-—We leam that Gen.

To the parties who abuse us we say as Undo Toby said to the officious fly as he put it out of the window, "“Do thy way, poor insect, tfipre is room enough in the world for me and for thee.” Why DO THEY lIiCFU ;H TO PUBLISH IT?-W 6 have not seen the correspondence between Governor Brown and the Sectetary ol War iu reference to the Militia, published in the col umns of a single paper in or out of this State which actively supports Mr. Davis' policy. Why is this? The correspondence is a highly important; one, upon a great Constitutional question of present practical interest. It seems the ft dministraf ion journals aranot pleas ed with the the manner in which the Secretary of War succeeded in this discussion. The truth is the Secretary, acting under the direction of the President, was on the wrong side, and was badley beaten in the argument, and ihe organs of the aduiiniatuiti jn do not care to have the people read the discu sion. They suppress it as many of them have Governor Brown’s mes sage. They abuse the Governor soundly for telling the truth, but are afraid to r let their readers see the message and read it for them, selves.

It will be seen that in this their fir3t effort at legislation they take issue with the Conf,-derate and slate Governments, who have widely adjudged that certain classes had better remain at home.
