A Fearful BIpw6.ssssOy. BroWR-HIS
Message not VFbrth Publishing.



At last accounts Gov. Joseph &. BroWr
was as we'll as eouldhe expected nnder the
circumstances. BE has delivered himself
Of another political enmmary-hAs written
in fact, good carping editorial for the
mouthers, who seem more willing to fight
the administration Of the confederate
states than to fight 5herpan or any OtkeT
Yankee, GOV. Brown 10 Bstill harping on
my daughter. State rights seems, in his
estimation, to be almost 10 as much peril
from men who really understand aud ap-
preciate the doctrfns Of the sovereignty OF
states, as the State pf Georgis was in her
financial affairs, from the balance sheets of
the bank officers. The fears Of Governor
Brown in his early message about the dis
honesty of bankers hecause fOEsooth they
made their books balance is about on 9
par with his charging JetfeFgon, Davis with

that Joseph B. Brow in BIS blind and IN

pIe for whom he has lost everything but
honor, is only worthy the contempt 1t is
receiving aud bouhd'to receive throughout
the length and breadth of the State. The
patriotism of the President is above the
comprehension of, Gngereds aud splenetic
mediocrity, and will always be. While
Sherman was organizing powerful army
st Atlanta for the purpose of marching
through and devastating the fruitful fields
of GeOrgia-Of burning aud laying waste
with the hand of demon and the pow
or of the whirlwipd, Governor Brown
was indicting, at Milledgeville g
special message to the Legislature,
devoted solely to an assault upon the
desire of the President to increase the
armies of the Confederate States IN this
hour of her sorest trial. filed with declar-
ations aud personal inhendos against the
President as pure patriot and upright man.
Failing to get this precious document be-
fore the Legislature OF Georgia in an oHic'
ial form, because of the advance on the
capital OF this same Sherman with his de.
stroyiug Yankee army, he hes decended
from the g6bernRtorial chair, in manner
unheard Of, and sent this unPresented and
unread aao uuoficiRl message to the
political press for publication, and at a
moment, too, when the minds and hearts Of
all true men not only in the State, but in
the whole South, were bending every ener-
gy to meet this destFoYipg Yankee,arny OF
Sherman, and destroy it, if Possiblet Let
the people make their own COmments-aye,
let the soldiers, whose country, more than
all others else, this is, make their com.
mentsl We shall not publish this special
message of the Governor. Had he argued
this question of class exemption in q man
ner becoming the chief executive ofa great
State, without charges which would, II
proved, make Jefferson Davis, the very
leader of this grand rebellion, black
hearted traitor to it and every principle
for the defense of which this people took
up arms; had he been the Governor, and
not the enraged and disappointed man in
this message. weWo1ld have gladly laid his
argument before our readers; but now We
leave them to find it elsewhere, remsrking
only, that when they read it, to do so only
as meu earnest in their desire for the in
dependence of the confederation of States,
that the States themselves may be tree,
