VICTORY OR DEATH.-The following are the
concluding passages of the inaugural address
of Governor Brown, of Georgia. on being
sworn in, for the third time, as Governor of
that State
Let US lay aside all past differences upon
minor questious-as brethren confer freely
together, and, as band of patriots, bury in
one common grave every personal aspiration,
and every feeling OF ambition, pride, or jeal
ousy which may tend to hinder united and
harmonious action, for the defence of our
beloved old State the triumph of our glori-
GUS arms, and the independence OF that
grand constellation of Southern Confederate
States, in which Georgia shines as one of the
most brilliant stars
Were We disposed 10 yield, 1t is now too
late to calculate the cost of submission. He
would but feebly enumeEate the results OF
our subiugatiOn, who would remind US that
il would fasten upon US the entire expense
of the war-load our industry and that of
our Prosperity for generations to come with
burdens and taxation too grievous to be
borne-snbject us to military despotism, and
compel as to maintain standing armies quar-
tered among u.s. to insult US with their in
science while they riVeted more securely the
chains of our bondage deprive Us of our
self-respect, and break our spirits with the
crushing weight of our degradation.
Sooner than submit to this, let the last
man In the Confederacy die nobly at the
point Of the bayonet, and let our wives and
our children, and all the property We pos
sess. perish together on one common funeral
pile; aud let the winds that pass over our
graves, and chant our funeral dirge, tell to
other generations in other chimes, that We
lived freemen, and we died freemen.

But, notwithstanding all these circumstaa-
ees,fBey would prove terribly annoyingsto an
invading foe already confr0nted By ragalar
troops With three bandrsd thousand Esgl-
lar troops in front of the invader, dispdting
every inch, and with a reserve of i've or six
hundred thousand on his TANKS. intsTcepting
his supplies, picking off his men, and con-
founding all bis operations, the invader will
find the task he has embarked 10 a most Diff
cult and losing one.
1t is obvious from these facts that the safe
ty of the South lies ia the prompt and ener-
getic adoption of such me assures as viii util-
lie the strong force of men that she has in
reserve The first great object, of course, is
the provision of arms and ammunition; the
next is the proper organization of the reserve
force The old militia system has fallen into
such disfayor that il seems as hopeless as use
less to attempt its resuseitatien.- Ii has been
found worse than useless wherever it has been
tried in the progress of the present war
Some other system must be devils I'd for call
ing the reserve force of the country into &C
ton. Ia emergencies, where there is not time
for anything better to be done, the voluntary
rallying OF the people for selfpr0tection must
be relied npon. The true policy OF the Gov
ernment is to begin at once, with reference
to next seasons campaign. the work Of or
gauiZing an army OF half million by draft.
An army raised by draftand organized upon
the thorough plan of regular military
establishment, is the only safety for the South
in this struggle. We have reserve force of
men ample for an army of four hundred thou
sand rank and file in addition to the force
we already have in the field; and we doubt
not that Congress will take measures for
organizing such a force for future cam
paigns
With reference to the Immediate eXigency
of the presen. moment, the enemy will have
to be met, wherever he appears in numbers
too heavy for the regular forces we have OPP
posing them, by the people, banded together
in volunteer organization, or called out by
the officers of militia. We have abundantly
shown that the people have numbers greatly
on their side; and there are but few districts
10 which the enemy can appear in force su-
perior to those which we can bring against
him. In these few districts, without refer
ence to age or station, young men and old
must shoulder their guns and rifles, and If
they cannot stand up in solid column against
the serried columns of the enemy, bristling
with artillery, they must hang upon his
launches, dog his steps, and cut him up in
detail.
