Gov. BROWN AND THE CLERaY.-The pastors Of the
several churches in Macon recently addressed note
Gov. Brown inquring whether regularly ordained min
listers liable to military duty under any law OF the
State or OF the Confederate Government.
GOV. Brown responded as follows:
In reply to your inquiry, state that there is Con-
federate law yet published to the country that makes
ordained ministers of religion in charge OF church
churches liable to military duty, and they ere under no
obligations to report for duty, or to obey any officer
The late act of the Legislature of this State authorizing
levy en- masse of the free white male inhabitants
OF the State for forty days service in the emergency,
does not mention ministers OF religion exempt bat
have exempted them Glass;" by my proclamation.
It is not intended to compel any minister in charge of
g church. or ary ordained minister who s in the regu-
lar discharge of ministerial duty to report soldier
fox military service. Their mission s of Peace, and
am satisfied GOD will never bless Government which
compeis His ministers to leave their high vocation and
enge &c in bloody strife. JOSEPH E. Brown

The idea Of Employing all classes of the population
here in defence of the country fenced shall require
has very much agitaed many of our enemies. They
have thought We valued particular sort of property
more than we did Liberties, and indeed, that the
struggle for independence is only the incident with
and not the main and overshadowlng idea. The fol-
lowing is from the st. Louis Republican:
WASHINGTON, November, 4.-The agitation OF The
rebel leaders and the press of the policy of drawing
upon their able bodied male slaves for fighting men,
received by many able minds on our side with omnous
torebodDgs of the while the interest end
attention is kn0 to excite in official circles leave
no doubt that The government fully appreciate the ad
vantages the rebellion will derive from the proposed
measure and OF the same time feels itself poorly pre-
pared to counterfeit them
Mr. Lincoln and his supporters have time and again
defended his emanc patton aud negro soldier policy
upon the plea of naked necessity. They have repeat
eddy asserted that the could not put down
the rebellion without the assistance of negro soldiers
am satisfied this var cannot be waged successfully
according to Democratic arithmetic" said the Pre-
sident lie referred the opposition of Democrats to
ensting negroes and to the probability CT their refus
ing the assistance OF those already madesoders in the
event of Succeeding to the administration of govern
nent and the prosecution Of the For the sake of
argument let his assertion stand. Now, how about
has arithmetic He has confessed he cannot succeed in
the war without The assistance of the 100000 negroes
now in Federal uniform. Suppose the South puts
three hundred thousand negro troops in the field and
more than neutraize The military power Of bis two
hundred thousandf Why, then, according to his own
premises 1t mil be impossible TO put down the rebellion.
No wonder the prospect Of the South calling her
slaves strikes him with CONSERVATION.

OAx THE ETHIOPIAN CHANGE H1s SKIN I've

the fact that there Is old negro on one of our river
steamers who has followed the business of pilot since
1919, whose skin is now likewise changing from jet
black to the farest white His neck and arms as far
down as his fingers are of smooth SOFT delicate white
ness that would rival that of the tenderest pures. Cir
cassan His lips are Of soft ruddy hue, and his face
and body beginning to show the radical wonder

cases OF accidents to boats the Ryer

ISK.-The friend who some weeks since gave to the
Courier receipt for elder berry ink, wrote lately on
business and remarked, This s the ink made of elder
berriss and copperasit appears to improve BY stand
ing"
The letter containing this notice was written with
ink which in cIearness and toue ofcoor all that
could be desired. The elder berry will certainly fur
nish good black ink, and by proper chemical addi
lions would doubt yield cciored nike, and perhaps
dyes pigments It s destined to become useful and
noteworthy for several purposes, and the farmers will
find it worth while, ere long, to give little attention
to and incerease and extend it's growth.
CoIorng matter OF all kinds for inks and dyes will be
in demand hereafter and can and should be in great
part supplied from our own fields and forests. It ia
desirable also to increase the supplies of alcohol pure,
of beverages and household drinks without resort to
our food producing cereals exclusively, and in this
view the elder berry wi be found valuable soon
the proper attention and intelligence and efforts ap
piled to it.
The ways and means for employing the elder berry,
and otter Offering Of flora, deserves and will repay
the aentiona and efforts of all good farmers citizens
who go to work under proper directions and advice.
Another friend 10 whom we lately referred, has pre-
sented bottle of his cheap new ink, which can be
made cheaper n an from the elder berry, posi-
BILE, where that is not very abundant. We hope be
will fad it convenient to furnish specimens to Offices for
full trial. and also to test his process and newly applied
material for colorcd inks and for dyes.
