Now, the proclamation may not amount 10
any thing, or it may be the "negiuuny OF the
end" In our judgment IL is ominou, of the most
ser Gus disturbance in the camp OF the enemy
and we arrive &C this conc usiUu as much from
the circumstances under which it appears 10 have
been issued as the spirit in which the jeff DAVE
orRens receive aud comment upon 10. In the
first place, from the very face of tho document,
Il is clear that the orders were issued without
consultation with General Hood, and that the
order itself was the first notification the Rebel
commander had OF an iutenJi N 10 take such
step. His promise to return them within thirty
day Is easier made than complied with, if, in
deed, be intends TO do so.
How Hood will receive this bold step we arc
NOT as yet advised. II he quicly ba Ks down,
and permits Joe Brown 20 come inio his camp
ard turoueh 10000 men, il is an evidence Of
extreme weakness which We had not hoped 90
see developed so soon. II he refuses 90 rGcog
Bize the Governors authority, the publication OF
the order will be regarded Oy the militia as an
invitation 10 dtseriiOn, If not muiny. Viewed ia
any light the Union has everything TO gain by
this practical application Of the principles Of
STATE tov' reignty and cmphatc disregard Of
plain statute Of the Confederate Govern uent To
appreciate the real importance Of the procamt-
uon we have only to Imagine similar one on
our side from Governor Seymour, of New York.
The Chattanooga Rebel is extremely severe on
GOyCrnOr Brown, and we infer that that paoer
only rcitcraes the opinions Of the JeiI Davis
parry and of General Hood.
The Rebel says
1--WE once heard drunken soldier shout, what
is uecdcm WihOut liberty, nnd what is liberty
without independencep Governor Brown saws
what is Independence without sorghum, and how
is sorghum TO be saved without the melish ?"
And again -
awe have heard of men Saving their bacon by
getting out of a fight, but Governor Brown has
called his militia from the front to save their sor
Rhum. This flank movement on the sorghum
is certainly 'sweetener.'"

SORGHUM SYRUP AND THE MILITIA.
| Tumultuous horror hTookcd Ter the van,
fresaging wrath to 90 rsH and TO man.
"Oh Heavens cried Joe. tive sorghum save
" there no hand on high tO save the brlve2
What though esruction sweep these lovely plains,
Whats liberty to MS II sorghum yet uansy
BY that sweet rame We rase our knives on high,
Ana swear 10 reap II while live and suck 10 die
We hepe our correspondents may be able 10
obtain future numbers of the Rebel organs, so
thar we may be able to lay before our readers the
action of the peop. of Georgia aud of the Rebel
authorities on the questions which the document
under consideration has undoubtedly raised
Chattanooga Gdzette.
