Georgia Election.

Abiding to the re election of Governor
Brown, the Richmond Enquirer says
Without disparagement to either of his
competitors, we, as allies and confedsrates
Of this good State of Georgia feel entitled
to congratulate that State on the result
Governor Brown is, beyond dispute, man
of great administrative ability, and, by gen
eral consent, has done very much to i'm
prove the resources and industry of the
Commonwealth OF this the Georgians are
the best and sole judges; but, in the inter
est of the common cause, where we are all
leagued together, it must be satisfactory to
all Confederates that Georgia has again Civ
en- herself Chief Magistrate so prompt
and zealous in the common cause, and one
who has so lately checked the insolent in
termeddling Of pretended foreign 'Consuls,
who were no consuls, and whose dismissa
followed so quick upon Governor Brown

ECONOMY TO BE PRACTIcED.

From the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
In such times as our country isnow pass
ing through, when the utmost efforts are
necessary to feed and clothe our armies in
the field, it becomes communities and indi
viduals to practice the most rigid economy.
individuals should live upon less expensive
food wear less costly raiment, and the
Corporations of cities and towns should
abolish the supsrAuous avocatons that
grow and flourish during the "canker of o
long peace" This is our only safety. In
dividuals must not be slow to make sacrifices
suited at the times. Families though reared
in the lap of luxury, must curb their desires
Ladies must eschew fashions, and gentlemen
their expensive habits We must all
economize, if we would win our freedom.
Let US practice selfdenial at home that
they may have the more to give our gallant
defenders. Even now there is much suffer
ing among them. More warm clothing.
socks and blankets are needed. Let our
people continue to give eheerfully as they
have in times past.

FROM NOTRH CAROLINA.
The Raleigh Progress of the Sd says:

The Raleigh Progress OF the 81 says:
Not word of news from Kinston on
yesterday, and all quiet in the direction Of
Newbern We hear, on reliable authority,
that the enemy have disappeared entirely
from the eastern section Of the Chowan
River, but that they are reinforcing at
Plymouth. From the western part of the
State we have no additional news, not a
being received at the Executive Office or
elsewhere yesterday. We have seen a
gentleman who left Ashevlle on Wednss-
day, and from conversation with him we
have but little doubt that the enemy had a
brigade at the Warm Springs, thirtyseven
miles below Asheville, the first of tbs last
week; but whether they will attempt to
advance on 4shevile or return to Green
vile, Tennessee, we, of course, cannot say.
Our impression is, however, thatLthey have
determined on giving the people of Western
North Carolina taste Of war; and unless
Gov. Vance is given sufficient force to
drive them back and keep them back, we
may expect to see that section Of the State
overrun,

! Lee, &c,
The Washington papers Of Wednesday
evening contain nothing of moment from
the army of the Potomac. The Star notes
| this rumOr:
"a report has been in extensive circula
ton to day to the effect that body OF D.,
| 600 Confederate soldiers Of Lees army had
advanced to our outposts and voluntarily
laid down their arms. The story needs con-
frmaticn though it would not be surprising
| if many such occurrences should take place
ere the winter is through" -..-
A correspondent of the New York Iri-
buae writes, under the date of the 9Th inst:
.Bufords cavalry division returned from
its reconnaissance to Culpeper at noon to-
day. having driven the enemy before them
down the Sulphur Springs road to within
mile Of Culpeper. A portion Of the enc
my's infantry with artillery, was encounter
ed last night about sunset, near Culpeper,
and in the skirmish which ensued We sus-
tanned loss of about twenty-five killed
and wounded. But small portion were
killed. Lieut.. j. II. Butler Of Battery G,
Second IT, S. artillery, was struck in the leg
by shell, rendering ampntation neces'
sary. 80
In the opinion of the officers accompany
ing the reconnaissance, the main body OF
Lees army will be met this side OF the
Rapidan, although portion Of their troops
occupied Culpeper.

ed the country from the forks Of the river
to the north of Culpeper The report that
he has surprised and captured 400 prisoners
at Elys Ford lacks confirmation.
Another letter to the same paper from
Warrenton Junction says:
On Saturday night while the l43d Penn
sylvania regiment was on picket about hall
q mile from here, seven OF the soldiers
stacked their arms and were standing around
the fire, when horseman in the dress oil
Union officer rode between them and their
arms. and with drawn revolver commanded
them to surrender and 90 with him. They
all obeyed, and he marched them to- q house
wrote out parole, which they accepted,
and then sent them back to camp. When
they returned it was found that three
of them had reyolyers in their pockets

put under arrest for cowardice.
A correspondent Of the New York Times
writes;
Seventeen hundred muskets have been
gathered as fragments of the recent fight,

A rumOr was current amongst the
rebels of our city last Saturday, that an
attack had been made upon Charleston,
by the Federal iron clads, &c, and that
it had resulted in repulse with heavy
loss. The rumor could not be traced to
any responsible source. Somebody had
heard somebody else say that some per-
son had told him that some gentleman
had heard another say that he had seen
some one who had heard lady say she
had talked with n man who had read a
statement to that effect in tn at veracious
sheet, the Chattanooga Rebel. Our rebs
were as lively over the re,es, IS pullet
over her first egg. They rsiigiously be-
lieved it. They were sad enough, how
ever yesterday when adyices by tele-
graph from New York and Washing ton
rendered it not improbable that Charles
ton is at present occupied by Federal
forces, "To this complexion it must
come at last" IL is it not so now. The
head of the serpent must and will be
crushed.
