e. Governor Brown of Georgia has
again come in collision with the conteder-
ate authorities. He refuses to allow the
Consumption law to be enforced in his do
minions, and says that citizens of Georgia
shall not be driven to the battlefield
against their will. JEFF Davis considers
the matter of sufficient Importance to call
for long letter, in which he defends the
law as just and constitutional, but does
not hint that measures will be taken To
make Georgia submit to it. Such con-
fiicts of authority are natural CONSEQUENT
ces of the doctrine of State rights, upon
which secession is based.

FROM JAMES IsLAND.-The Richmond
Dispatch of the 25th altimo has intelligence
from Charleston of the same date to the fol-
lowing effect;
"All was quiet along the lines on Jane.
Island up to Sunday night The situation of
affairs there, however, is such that another
conflict may occur at any moment. On
Saturday afternoon one Of the rebel gun
boats crossed the bar at or near the Ship
Channel, and steamed up along the beach of
Morris Island, keeping up rapid fire of
SHELF toward the ridge of sand hills on which
the confederate battlements were planted
during the siege of Fort. Sumter. After fir
ing about twenty rounds, the gunboat turned
about and went to sea. The Mercury says
this gunboat reconnaissance, taken in connec-
t4on with the frequently reiterated threats of
an early demonstration against Charleston,
is sufficient.

THE NEGRO QUESTION IN GEN. But
LER's DEPARTMENT.-At test case in RET
erence to the treatment of fugitive negroes
has been reported to Washington by Gen.
Butler for the decision of the Govern
ment. 1t appears that on the 18th inst
about one hundred and fifty negroes, COM
prising men, women and children, had
collected near the camp Of Gen. Phelps,
at Carroton, where they were likely to
experience much suffering from want of
food and shelter unless Government aid
could be extended to them from the lines.
One party, seventy five in number, repor-
ted that they were sent over the river by
a planter named LIE Blanche, who gave
them their choice of leaving before sun
down or receiving fifty lashes each. Gen.
Phelps sent a communication to General
Butler on the subject, with request that
it should be transmitted to Washington.
With this request Gen. Butler has COM
piled, accompanying the letter of General
Phelps with a statement of his own
He says he is informed by the friends and
neighbors of Mr.. LIE Blanche, and by
Jack lie Blanche, his slave, who is the
leader of the party of negroes, that Mr..
lie Blanche claims to be loyal and to have
taken no part in the war; that he has
son in the rebel army that his house was
searched by the order of Gen, Phelps, for
arms and contraband of war; and his
neighbors say that his negroes were told
they were free if they would come to the
Generals camp; that thereupon the ne
groes, under the lead of Jack, determined
to leave, Mr. LIE Blanche making no OPP
position and assisting them to get across
the river.
Gen. Butler concludes as follows.
THE account of Gen. Phelps is the
negro side of the story that above given
is the story Of Mr.. lie Blanche's neigh
bors, some of whom l know to be loyal
men. Gen. Phelps, I believe, intends
making this test case for the policy OF
the government. l wish it might be So

subject is a source of trouble.
