USTIMELY DIsSENSIONz.

The pubic mas Qouot4esS peeu " tt'o "'
prised ct the recent sudden uprising Of various
citizens against regulations which fad meek
without dispute adapted, aud submitted mere
to IN quiet. All st ono: Te are VeheEicEtt1
lcctured upon the noIi eXis!eEc Gu OF TIE pow
or Of martial law, AID Upon tGc :efIibio ty'
ranny Of requiring travellers &c ob'sic pass
ports.
These Queries coms in many instance,
frou those who clamored Tor martial law il
our endangered cities and communities, ane
v.xed the public ear with daily conp:ain1s o.
he !snitv Of It's enforcement.
Il seems Us if somo Of our ciiiLens HAYS
called of their attention from TIC public
oncny and hre trying 10 engage theit
apprehersions with u new object. Whether
this be from fckieness, Or whether they
imagine the external danger diSsiuatsd, We
know not. In either case it is great error.
Some there are who engssa in these uu-
ti1n=ly attacks upon ou: o~a operations, aS-
dor tho inhueace Of Il disappointed Sllbit'on
tint cannot brook success IN another, aud
can $50 no merit where o;hers wear the hon
ors. There are some, too, wha vet IRON q
II a'syolsnt, fault-fading dspo ';.lo:i that is re-
solved never to be PLEASED, snd lives IN an
s,lnosphele Of universal hate. These last tw"
classes are weak in numbers, but very messy.
They are inouraole, and have ro INFLUENCE 50
soon as understood. ..
But to the disiuterested and air-iiinded o.
our fellow ~citiz.ns, the appeal IN behalf OF
country and Of right, may always be made
with con6deace. OF them We would ask
what means this strange questioning OF al
most everything which has obtained in the
conduct of the var till now Are we So
secure of SUCCESS Rs to Be able to discsrd
that unanimity and deviation which have
brought US 20 our present happy fortunes :
Arc we so carcl, SIS Of al carly peace. as {"

sition. We trust that tie fs9p.'Gt large vail
have nothing 10 do with it. Let tho Govcin-
ment, in its Efforts to secure the Confederate
safo:v, have this fll! support Of the "t"p!r's
patriotism.
50 far has opposition been carried that 10
Georgia a Judge has undertaken to pronounce
tina law unGsr which our srny now eSsts
void aud of no force, and has ordered Il sol
der to be, therefore, discharged Ii this
opinion he has but followed where Gr@c:nnr
Brown, Of Georgia, leads. Establish tha doc
.rine for which they have been 50 soi;::bnus.
aad Tomorrow we will not have 4 lnsu il
the field.
Tho Citizens OF Georgia, We are persuaded,
will not 81 nIath!ze an this decision Of ti.=ir
Judge, the etc: Of which is to withdraw her
troops from the field, where thsy are battling
BY the side Of their brethren for the cuinG!on
safety. We trust, at all events, tha. Governor
Brown will find SONS way in which he can
permit himself to cooperate heartily in ID"
pubic service without requiring every ono
else irs: 10 yield to bis peculiar v:ews, ani
adopt his measures. The GeoTgiaus wish TO
TO do their whole duty, and want fair
chance
We are The more encouraged to L>!ie"a this
from the tone of the Gsocgia papers. We have
now before US one in which the Spirit OF cp-
position to which We have referred is strong
- denounced. Governor Brown himself
comes in under the charged employing mere
Arbitrary power very freely in carrying out
his own wishes, teuderly sensitive a. lie i:
w:iers the Confederacy is concerned.
1u: we will let the writer in the Rome
SIS 1~utherner" speak for himself, and, we will
add, 70: bis country. The article Will lie
