GEN. SHERMAN AND Gov. BRowN-The reply Of
Gov. Brown to the proposition submitted to him by
Gen. Sherman, for meeting with view to consul
aton for separate peace, explodes the report that
the proposal was received with favor. Gov. Brown
expresses very just views of the relation which Geor
gia sustains to her sister States and avows a vir
tuous and manly determination to discharge the
duties of that relation with the utmost fidelity.
There is one part of his letter which excites un-
pleasant sensations ltiI that in which Gov. Brown
StoOpS to communicate to the miserable Sherman
his complaintSo of the Confederate Administration
thus laying family differences before the family's
bitter enemy! 1t may be Said 1t was because
Sherman presumed upon these differences that he
submitted his proposal, and that therefore, it was
pertinent for Gov. Brown to refer to the subject by
way OF correcting Shermans inferences But this
involves the confession of grave improperly on
the part of Gov Brown, in having pursued a course
that rendered him liable to be thus misunderstood
1t is no compliment to Governor Brown, and Mr..
Stephens, and Senator johnson, that they should
have been singled out by SheTman, and invited
by him to an inadmissible conference and although
the dlShOnorabe proposition was unouali6ediy re-
Jected the fact that t was made showed that udg-
ing them by their course Sherman considered those
to whom 1t was add occupying eQuivO.
cal position. He is now taught his mistake; but
we trust he has also taught them that citizens hold
ing positions SO prominent should be aoove the SuS.

not to compromise themselves and encourage the
enemy, by exhibitions ofseeming factiOusneSs ard

The Sentinel is the organ Of President Davis, and

and consultation. Gov. Brown is exceedingly dis
liked in Richmond because he has favored peace
measures, and defended the rights Of his State.

The COnfedcracy has placed its destiny in the
hands Of President Davis We have no desire to
transfer it to other hands, Conservative.
We deny The proposition. The Confederacy has
not "placed its destiny" in the han IS of any one
man. It's destiny is in the hands of the army, of
the Congress, and of the people generally. Mr.
Davis is merely an Executive officer. He is no

quently acts as The were one.
The ConserU Uatire says it has no desire to see our
destiny as people transferred to other hands We
differ with that paper. We should be much graft
fed Mr.. Davis would resign, and let Mr.. Stephens
cent Southern speeches. that he did not desire to be
Prcsident-that he felt he had military talent
and that he preferred to serve in the field. The
time has come when the services of every man Of
military genius are needed.
We do not see how the Conservative can claim to
he Conservative in its principles and sentiments
while it thus unequivocally endorses the admins
tration of Mr. Davis That administration has been
uniformly and bitterly hostile to every principle
held by the Conservatives of this State, and has
made name in history by its special opposition to
those great princ pies of civil liberty which the
Conservative party was established.

Scope of the Sab Jath.


At the recent Sabbath Convention held
in New York, President Hopkins delivered
a discourse on the scope of the Sabbath
which was received With she rsrnes. er-ss
nendstion, aaa Published aa one ssrt4air
permanent documents. We give one of its
most comprehensive paragraphs:
"rhe Sabbath is not as some seen to
suppose, an sinstitation slightly connected
with the other nrrsngemHnts of God for the
elevation and we'll being of man, bnt is in
separately blended with them all. Like the
cir, and the light, and the water, in the
simplicity aud yet variety of its applications
aud uees, it bears the evident impress of
the hand of God It's Law CT rest is en-
stamped upon the physical organization of
Gil beings capable of labor 1t is adapted
to the laboring man in his toll, to the young
man in 'hie temptations, to the business man
in his perplexties, TO the scholar in bis ex-
hsugsing processes of thought, and to the
statesman as bearing the burdens Of pub
lie life. 1t is adapted to familiea, consecra-
tIS AVhS' "H~ SNl"S opportunity lOl i@A'-
lily instruction. It is sdapted to communi-
ties as the individuals composing them are
related at once to each other and to God,
and SIS needing opportunity both for public
aud private devotion. 1t blends the social
and religious nature of man, and fits him
for social heaven. 1t is related to the
Bible as. book requiring study, and so
time for study Il connects man with the
past by reminding him Of the great events
which it commentaries with the future by
its qlimpses and foretastes of that Heaven
which 1t typiGes. Kept as God commanded,
it would improve the individual man pbysi-
calIy, Intellectually, morally. In bis social
relations, it would secure purity and har-
mony in his civil relations, security and
freedom. 1t would unite man to man, and
all men to God. Surely, whatever be may
intend, he who fights against the Sabbath
fights against the best interests Of his race,
and against God bimself.'
