We regard it as extremely unfortunate lor the harmony of our counsels, as well as the ■ucoess of our arms, that at this critical junc ture of our aflairs a class of politicians and presses should commemw -a concerted and sys tematic attack on tne honored Executive of Georgia. Foremost iu this band of assailants is Mr. Hill, who by some singular mischance, or by deep plotting, scheming and trickery was elevated to Senatorial rank a few years agO ( over the head of wiser and worthier men. He has made hirnseli conspicuous of late by bis servile adulation of President Davis and his policy ; and to such a degree of absurdity has he curried his servility, that it cannot bo oth erwise than disgusting to the seusi He men even of his own party. Quite recently, however, he h.as undertaken to play the role oi Thersites, and it muot be conseased la at no possesses uo meuu qualifications loi tho undertaking. Gov. Brown is an object of special dislike to tine doughty champion of the Administration ; and in a lato speech delivered at LaGrauge, he ex hausts the vocabulary pi Billingsgate in his vindication ol our excellent Governor. . He does - not scruple to brand him with treason most foul and dnmuiog. and ventures the in sinuation that tie in Little n at all better than Lucius Sergius Uataliae, or Benedict Arnold. The raving ot the Senator hardly deserves a serious refutation, but we apprehend so clearly the mischievous tendency of ta,s stiile which Ur. Hill and his iriends are seeking to foment, that we shall obey tho precept of Solomon, and for once answer--we will not say a ioof, but a very siliy feiiow according to his fully. What then, we inquire, is the often je of Gov. Brown, that his honor should be impeached, and even his loyally anaigned ? It surely will not be alleged that in his official conduct ne has iuiied to sustain tho revolution which he helped to inaugurate. When did he refuse compliance "with any constitu tional requisit iou lor troops ? is it not a fact known even to Mr. Hid, established by tho muster rolls in the Adjutant General’s office at Richmond, that Georgia has furnished more than her just quota of troops for the defence of the country '! We pauso for a reply. Or docs Gov, Brown’s delinquency consist in his failure to look alter tile weliare of Georgia troops in tho held, or die comfort of their families at home ? We challenge contradiction when we assert that in both these respects he bus surpassed the Governor of any other State in the Confederacy. Why then rhis fierce out cry from tho whole Richmond kennel—this yelping of Tray, Blanch, and Sweetheart—thi s snapping and snarling of even “curs of low degree V Tho reply is at baud, Gov. Biowit has lmd tho manliness to defend lhe reaeived rights of Georgia, and the courage to expose and re buke the blunders of the Administration. This is the extent of his oil'endiug, and for this lie is pursued by a patty of scribblers and stump speakers, as tierce as the bouuds h os Acteon, aud as relentless as the Furies ot Orestes. The Governor’s opposition to lhe polioy of Mr. Davis may bo best understood from ilia late message to the Georgia Legislature. He therein urges the repeal of the conscript law, and opposes the enlistment ot negro soldiers. The former law he regarded as ad admitted failure, nud the latter as a most hazardous ex periment And yet, while he disapproved of the conscript law, he acquiesced iu its enforce ment, and facilitated its execution according to the letter and spirit of the congressional enactment. As regards the negro soldier ques tion, who is wise enough to lorettee with cer - tainty its practical results ; and who can con fidently assert that it will not prove the grave of our liberty aud the vuiu ui our Indepen dence. But he has also denounced the general suspension of tho writ of habeas corpus as a needless infringement of tho liberty of the people. For this offence, he Is accused of fa voring sedition and conniving at treason. (£ueer logic this, as though ii was compatible with hi* sworn obligations to sit still and tamely suffer tin dearest right of freemen to be wrested from them, lest ho might, bo accused of disaffection to the causa of the country. Another portion of the message which has given great offence, is that which relates to the failure of peace negotiations and the calling of a Sovereign Convention for mutual consul tation on the affairs of the nation. He does not believe that an honest effort has yet been made for the adjustment of our difficulties aud differences with tho North, and that which he believes he has the boldness to speak. He thinks, too, that the time has arrived w hen the aid of diplomacy must be Invoked to second the efforts of the sword and bayonet. Statesmanship, noaless than generalship, has a part to play in this bloody drama. Despair ing of any settlement, that will be houomble and peunanent without the intervention of the States, he desires to engage them in an ef fort to restore quietness to the country. Gov. Brown is ot the opinion, as he state s iu his special message-which is explanatory of his general message on this point—that a conven tion will be demanded by the people, and he deemed the present time a most favorable period for such an assemblage. If no other good was attainable, it would at least unite the people and remove those causes of diseen sion which were known to exist. Mr. Hill, however, is atraid to entrust the people with the keeping of their own honor and the direc tion of their own destiny ; and accordingly sees in the proposed convention uothing less than leoeßetructlon. Uc is evidently by the ghost of the old IT jiou, and no measure he thinks will appease its manes aud lay it quietly to rest in the 11 tomb of the Capnlets" butthe Immolation of Toombs and Stephens, anTrMte hanging and quaitering of Joe Brown according to the law of treason as expounded by a drum heao court martial. He does not •ay this, but this is his meaning as well as it may be ascertained under the mass ot verbiage which encumbers it. It may be wise to force these issues on the Executive of a sovereign State, but we beg leave to enter our solemn ! protest against a policy jo plainly suicidal. We warn these selfish agitator* asalnst persist ence in such a course. By their folly they ' have brought our affairs to the brink* of ruin, and it ill becomes them to be railing at better ! men— especially is this true of Mr. Hill, who has yet to acquire the alphabet of State rights doctrines Like all new converts, be exhibits a /.eal which we fear is only affected, and which we are certain is not according to i knowledge. Gov. Brown has devoted hie po litical life to the maintenance of the identical principles on which our Government is found ed. He may therefore be safely trusted at all times. And as anciently a Roman citizen, who bad Been thrice honored with the Con sulate, was ISwked upon as above reproach — so a man who has so fiequently been honored with the Chief Magistracy by his as Gov. Brown, may safely despise the calumnies and critic’sHii of such an enemy as Beniamin H. Hill, although he may be clothed with Sen atorial rubes. t'HOM tIHARLK *TOV From late numbers of the Charleston Cou rier, we extract the annexed news : Prompt mea-,ures are being taken to remove all garbage and other matter irorn the city which will create sickness.

I !• SJtOU SAVANNAH. A s-eutleman from below gives us the an nexed news : Our scouts have become very strict. But little, if any cotton or tobacco can now be run into Savannah The country people are allowed by the scouts of both sides to go into the city to trade and get ? uppHes. They are not allowed to bring out things by the wholesale—only enough for family use. A large quantity of goods are being re shipped from Cue city North, on account of no market. Confederate money is selling in Savannah twenty-five for one. It is said to be quite scarce even at these rates. Our scouts have become very trouhle<iome to ; the Yankees, and their picket lines ab not now extend more thau three miles from the city. Seveial of the Yankee piekets have beeu killed. Our picket lines aiv about twenty miles from Savannah. < hir scouts are said to be very active. The ground between the iwo picket lines is occupied by stray scouts of both sides—watch ing ior someone to send on “their long journey, from whence uo traveler’ returns.” Large numbers of runaway negroes are eith er captured or killed by, our scouts daily. There is but little it any chance for them now to get into Savannah. The Yankee for ce in the city is said to be about twenty five hundred —two-thuds negroes. There are uo guards now. in the streets ex cept around buildings in which are commissa ry stores. , • . The oilmen* are not now required to carry passes in the' streets.

C, Mills, ail old citizen of Sa uah, formerly a citizen of this place, died a few days since. The Yankee Commander has had the city thoroughly cleaned. The Yankees have erected anew line of for tifications within our old lines running them through the Catholic cemetery.

The Savaunali Republican is now printed on a large double sheet on new type. It presents a very neat appearance. From a number of Marc ; fill we collect the annexed items : A general order closes the market at nine o'clock in the moramg until person who kills an animal is required to reg ister the fact. The clerk of the market is held responsible for the correctness of the weights. Persons selling at higher prices than establish ed rates, forfeit their rights to sell in the market.

Burnett, who is authorised to receive them by Simeon Draper, special agent of' the Treasury Department. tu the columns of the Republican we find the aunexea important trade ovMr just issued by Gen. Grant, under date of March 16 : First.

By Commaad of Lr. Gbn. Grant. In speaking of the country trade of the city the Republican comaMte thus: peHrauce. The number of country o*rts load ed with eggs, poultry, tallow, hides, beeswax, pork. Ac , is “proof conclusive” that our cit izens are not likely to suffer for the oomforts of the “inner man,” while the country people have the privilege to bring in to our lines such supplies. * We counted on Wednesday no less than forty-four country caits around the mar i ket, and at cne time during the day the num i her must have beeu larger. The lively scene reminded one of the good old halcyon times of peace. Many of these carts were driven a ! distance of forty milefc, coming from Bullock, Emanuel. Liberty and Bryan counties.

The Wilmington Multi., u. —fn the columns of ths Charleston Corn ier, we find au account ot the meeting of the citizens of Wilmington a*ter its c ptnie. it was held March 14th. The assemblage was said to have been a large Qne. All Yankee officers and soldiers were prevented Horn entering the hail by a Piovost Guard. The ladies occupied the galleries. The stage was draped with .the U. S. flag. Three bands from various corps furnished the music. The meeting was called to order by Mayor John Dawson. Iu his speech he stated the object of assembling the citizens together was to counsel as to the course to be pursued, that would best subseive the interest of the city and the .State and promote the welfare of' the Federal Government. The United States forces held the city, and he advised all to forget the past and to henceforth endeavor to secure peace and promote the prosperity of the country The preamable sets forth that Wilmington is occupied by the forces of the United States. The first resolution councils ail to stay at home and obey the laws. The second resolution tells the people if they will do so, it will be better for them iu the end. The third resolution sets forth the fact again that the U. S. troops have possession of Wi 1- mington, but that the people of that city do not consider themselves subjugated, but that they elaitn all the rights aud privileges guaranteed to them by tho Constitution of the United States, and the proclamation of Lin coln. The fourth resolution calls upon the people of North Carolina to unite with the people of Wilmington and endeavor to stop the war. It protests against the course of Gov. Vance and says the continuance of the war will only rea der the ruin caused by it “more remediless in the end,’’ it also says the war is now waged for the “benefit of a Government in which life people have greatly lost confidence.’ The fifth resolution urges the State of North Carolina to yield to the fortunes of war, aud return to the U. S Government “where the masses of the people always wished her to be.” The sixth resolution states that a large num ber of the residents of Wilmington and vicinity havel een deprived by the war of all they have, and urges that the Yankee government allow the port of that place bo opened as soon as compatible with the military movements and general interest of the country. The seventh resolntion speaks of the good behavior of the Yankee officers and troops while in the city. The orders the proceedings of the meeting to be sent to Lincoln aud ,Gov. Vance. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. After some remarks by a few speakers, the meeting adjourned. Moke Lawlessness. —Recently a force of women, fourteen strong, armed with guns, pistols, knives aud tongues, made a descent on a mill about four miles from LaFayette, Ala-, and relieved the establishment of a lot of flour. We regret much to see these acts of lawless ness. Tffey are but stepping stones to darker deeds of outrage and crime. Every good citi zen should do all in his power tgprevent them by endeavoring- to remove the causes. To those who have a plenty we say, give cheer fully and liberally of your abundance to the poor. By so doing you will prevent much suf fering; will prevent much wrong doing by al leviating the hunger and want which forces the suffering to commit crime. While domg what we can to prevent the devastation of our foe, let us conduct matteis at home ii such a way that anarchy will never reign supreme in our midst. ** Fkom North Carolina. -Schofield, according to official dispatches, occur.ied Goldsboro, N. C., March 21. No resistance was made. Several engines, a large number of railroad cars, Ac,, were captured. Gens. Sherman, Schofield, and Terry, formed a junction March 25. The Con federate troops retreated towards Raleigh on that day. Sherman's wagon train had arrived at Kinston. The Confederates destroyed all railroad bridges, but left tracks uninjured. IIMM —i * Gborgia not vet Disgraced.—Notwith standing the lamentations of she enemies of Governor Brown, over what they call his degredation of Georgia, it seems that General Robert E. Lee believes he is doing a good work for the Georgians in his army. Why don’t Gen. Lee write letters to some other Governors thanking them for similar favors ? Because most of them talk while Governor Brown acts. “Truth is Mighty and will Prevail.’ —The power and iurabilty of Truth has not only been the theme of poets and 6ages, but hrs re ceived the sanction of holy writ. Good men and wicked men both believe in the power of truth. On that account the former* try by every honest means in their power to circulate and spread the truth among the people, whilst the latter endeavor to suppress it. The friends and the enemies of Governor Brown both believe in the power of truth, and this is the reason why his jfriends try to cir culate his Message and correspondence with the Secretary of War among the people, and his enemies are so very atoxious to keep both of these documents from the people.

The evacuation of Richmoud commenced Sunday afternoon. President Davis and Cabinet arrived here Monday. Very few persons were able to leave the city, except Government, officials iu consequence of the suddenness of the movement. The enemy broke through Lee’s lines Satur day night near Petersburg, after several days hard fighting, aud it. made it neurssary for him to withdraw so as to uncover the capital. The position oi The army is now unknown. No telegraph beyoml the junction. * The Richmond arsenal has been removed. The valuables of the Banks iu Richmond were brought away, and the specie belonging to the Government. The la6jt passengers report a great mob in the city, burning mills and warehouses, and plundering This was done by foreign ers and low classes. The rolling stock of the Richmond and Dan ville Railroad was all saved. The enemy had not occupied the city at last accounts. The President will probably remain hero for the present. All the Richmond newspapers were left in the city. Gov. Smith went towards Lynchburg. The archives of the State Government were left behind. PRESIDENT DAVIS’ ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. The President issued au address this morn ing to the people. He says the General-in-Chief found it ne cessary to make such movements of troops as to uncover the capital. ‘ It would be unwise to«conceal the moral aud material injury to our cause resulting from the occupation of the capital bv the en emy; and it is equally unwise and unworthy of us-to ailow our own anergies to falter or our efforts to become relaxed under reverses, however calamitous. For many monilis the finest army of the Con federacy, under the command of a leader win o presence inspires equal confidence in the troops and people, has been greatly trammeled by the necessity of keeping watch over the ap proaches to the capital and has been forced to forego more than one opportunity for promis ing enterprise. It is for us my countrymen to show by cur bearing under reverses, how wretched has been the self denial of those who have found us less able ,lo endure misfortune with fortitude than to encounter danger with courage. We have now entered upon anew phase of the struggle. Relieved from the necessity of guarding particular points, our army will be free to move from point to point, and to whip the enemy in detail far from bis base. Let us but will it, and we are fre*' Ani mated by that confidence in your spi.it and fortitude which never yet failed me, 1 an nounce to you, fellow countrymen, to maintain your cause with my whole heart and soul. That I will never consent to abandon to the enemy one foot of the soil of any of the Slates of the Confederacy. That noble State whose ancient renown has been eclipsed by her still more glorious recent history, whose bosom has been bared to receive the main shocks of this war. whose sons and daughters have exhibited a heroism so sublime as. to render her iiiu? i feus in all time to come—that Virginia, by she help -»f the people and by the blessing of Providence, shall be held aud defended ; and no peace will ever be made with the infamous invader of her homes by the sacrifice of any of her rights or territory. If by superiority of numbers we should ever be compelled to abandon or withdraw from her lines, or those of any other border States, again and again will we return until the baf fled and exhausted enemy shall abandon in despair his endless.and impossible task of mak ing slaves of people resolved to be free. Let us then not despond, my countrymen, but relying on the never failing tae:cy and protecting eare of our God, let us meet the foe with fresh defianee, and with unconquered and unquerable hearts.
