9 goes to-day and all will ask what has he DONE and
what does he leave to hope for ? &c. e.. II
t--' We must reply to these queSticns and we must
reply tTuthfuiy before heaven and our common
country. We consign the result to our columns
with the deepest regret and heart full of anxious
ferebodings He has done nothing He has toyed !
with the danger that hangs u.s. and consented
to its continuance. He has not lifted hand or Ut
tered word to help to stay the evil that to day
threatens the centre and heart of the Southern Con-
fedefAcy He departs. having made few minor
changes which mean nothing and effect nothing. SO
far the great vital issue is concerned Polk takes
Hardee's place and Hardee takes Polks
Forrest goes to an almost barren scene Of labor |
hopeless of early results Bragg remains as the in
competent head of the greatest army of the Con-
federasy, placed at the. post of vital Danger. On
two occasiOnS-one to General Bragg himself and
once to the Presdent-Hearly all of the general Of
feers of that army have given expression IN writing
to their belief of the incompetency Of Gen Bragg
as acommanaer. The press has everywhere spoken
nanfuly its distrust The people, with hardly
dissenting voice, have asked for a more assuring
leadership.
President Davis "serene upon the frigid heights
Of Al hnPertursbe egotSm," is deaf to the uniVer-
sal call Of the country, and will not be driven"
into any step or measure necessary for the common
safety.
What are the resultsp We unveil them at the
risk of being accused of giving information to the
enemy, but well assured that our watchful foe has
seen them even before they came to our knowl-
edge. We have been reticent so long there was
hope of action On the part of President Davis. He
has departed without taking action adequate to the
emergency, and now our only hope is in ourselves.
We shall do our duty. Others mayhod back, and
accuse US of an indscreet fear. We reply that we
risk as much as does the President or any man
Our lives and the lives of all we hold DEAR are
barked in the holy cause of our country, and our
and their fortunes are involved in imminent peril.
The President can risk no more. so
CO. What the results? Thew are persistence in
the military blnnders which have cost us Ken
lucky and Tennessee. Napoleon says the art of
consists in knowing how to separate to subsist,
and how to unite to fight The art of Bragg has
been to unite to starVe, aud to separate to be whip
ped He has held bis army united before Chaaa-
nooga until movement or starvation stares him in
the}ace He must fall back to subsist, or divide his
forces.
Therefore, to-day, we see the astonishing specta
Gle of one wing of army sent into isolation in
East Tennessee and the other ordered to q similar
position westward along the Tennessee river. The
weakened centre and isolated wings each left to
meet, unaided, attack from Numerous, power
full and vgifAnt foe. Ii is but the repetition of the
military policy which gathered for the fruitful
results of Perryville, Murfreesboro Shelbyville and
TulAhoma What, from this, can Georgia expect?
r We reply that she has to expect the results that
tod1y are witnessed in poor desoatsd, down trod-
don Tennessee -+ '- ..,.
There is but one hope left for us in this emergen-
cy. We must save the government from the dan
ger 70 which it is exposed by the nanty Of the ad-
b ministraton; and this be done only by rousng
the spirit of opposition to the administration before
the feeling ripe already among the people becomes
curdled into an opposition to the government. We
must save the State by and through the immediate
action Of the State authorities and the latent ener
gies of the people. r~ = . .".. p -.'r.'
Governor Brown must call out the reserves A
perfect military organization, independent Of the
Confederate government and the inanity of Gen.
Bragg must be at once created if we desire to hold
the homes of Georgia, the heart of the Confederacy
and the rear Of the chiValrous Bsauregard safe from
ruthless foe ... - -
The men, the leadership, and the resources are
ready at-hs call The responsibility of our safety
now rests with Governor Brown and the State Leo
isiature. That body meets within week. Lett

We want now action, immediate action energetic
action, to save us from the perdton to which the
President and his chosen faEertes threaten to con-
sign US. ,.-. ... -. . 90. -.
