GEORGIA AFFAIRS.

We Icy before the readers of the
UxIox this morning an address from
Ex-Gov. Brown to the people of Geor-
eia, and brief report Of aspeeoh made
at Atlanta on Monday last by Provis-
ionsl Governor johnson.
Gov. Brown bows with becoming
grace to the verdict of the Nation
against secession and slavery and gives
the people wholesome advice If they
act upon his advice honestly, and faith
fully discharge the duties flowing from
the new condition of their civil and
domestic relations, they viii coon again
be in the paths Of prosperity and hap
piness.
We must cay that it gives US much
qualification to find Gov. Brown SO well
satisfied of the determination of the
National Government to enforce the
decree Of freedom to the slave, and of
the necessity and duty Of all to acqui-
escs It is only by this acquiesence that
further contentious and strife can be
avoided. We have respected Governor
Brown for the candor and manliness Of
his conduct as the Executive Of Geor-
gia, whilst condemning his principles

A Mysterious Providence.

NEWTON DEVER, the subject of this notice,
died Frilay mig ht the st ult, at the residence
OF Richard H. Dudley, Esq, near Mt. Scion, in
the 22d year of his age. He entered the army of
the Confederacy ct the commencement of the war,
as a volunteer in Company C, of the 5th Va. In
fantry, and was unsurpassed as brave, faithful,
and obedient soldier respected by his officers
and esteemed By his conn AIDES. He participated
in all the prominent battles of the war, in which
the immortal corps 1.-THE old Stonewa,) to which
he belonged, was engaged He received one or
more wounds, and for more than year suffered
the untold ardships of an Imprisonment at Fort
Delaware. On Wednesday last, whilst engaged
in labor on the farm of Mr.. Dudley, on the Glade,
be was entering smith shop, where he had left
his basket containing his noon-day repast, when
he met with tn e accident which resulted in his
death. A family living on this farm of Mr.. DIS.
in preparing for sale of their effects, had secured
flesh, fork amcng other kitchen utensils, and in
attempting to suspend it by hole in the end of
the handle, placed it on peg near the door, too
large to permit it to hang vertically. but caused
it to stand out almost at right angles to the wall
On passing in the door with his attention at
traeted in another direction, a prong of the fesk
pierced the of the right eye by the pas
sing thro' its cavity, and severed the opthamc
artery of the left eye, ounding the base of the
brain and sufusing it. He extracted it instantly
by violent effort by turning his head in an OPP
posite direction, but the death wound had been
received, and the brave soldier who had never
blanched before the grim monster amid the iron
and leaden hail of a hundred battle fields, was
destined by an inscrutible Providence, to fall by
an unusual and simple weapon. He fingered in
intense agony for more than thirty six hours,
when his spirit passed away. The kind family,
in whose bosom he died, did all that friends could
do, but the av ful fat had gone forth, from which
there is no appeal. His captain and comrades in
arms and bis many friends, with sorrowing hearts
committed his mortal part to the tomb in Messy
Creek church yard, where sleeps many of his COM
panions of the tented field. May the sod press
lightly on the bosom Of the hraue soldier boy

CHURCH EMUTE IN WINCH ESTER,

A correspondent Of the Baltimore 4meri-
can tells Of somewhat exciting occurrence
in that town Wednesday, growing out of a
question Of ecclesiastic jurisdiction. Bishop
ClarL, of the Northern Methodist Church,
had appointed Rev. Mr.. Creaver to the
charge of the cougre cation; but Rev. Mr..
Wilson, of the Southern Church, not relish
ing the proceeding, took snap Judgment,
by getting possession Of the desk, before his
brother Creaver. The Presiding Elder had
announced that Mr.. Creaver would enter up
on his charge, in accordance with Bishop
Ciark's appointment, last Sunday; but the
Rev. Mr.. Wilson entered the pulpit and COM
menced the services, announcing that he
would preach in the evening and on each
succeeding Sabbath. On the conclusion of
his sermon, Rev. Mr.. Lanahan (the Presi.
ding Elder made a statement to the congre-
cation. and in the evening Rev. Mr.. Creaver
entered upon his duties as pastor Of the con-

Tournament and Picnic.

During the temporary stagnation in bust
ness, which has succeed the great struggle
in which our people have been recently en-
gagged, it is pleasant to lind the young men
devotipg some of their leisure hours to such
innocent amusement, as is afforded at Pic
MICS, and Tournaments. Politics and war are
forgotten in the excitement incident to the
duties of the gallant, at the table, and OF
the knight in the tourney. None of the nu-
merous tournaments, which have recently
called together the "Deauty and the chivalry,'
of old Augusta have been more successful
in affording innocent and healthful amuse-
ment, than one which was held on the 7th
inst. at Mr. JAS Patrick's On South River.
The ground for the riding was excellent and
the horsemanship displayed, could only be
rivalled by other Knights, who like most of
these have been spending much of the last
four years in the saddle. Thirty-three young
men splendidy mounted, appeared in the
lists and were addressed in most elegant
and appropriate manner by II. W. Shelley
ESQ, whose handsome tribute to the gallant
and chivalrous Stuart, awakened sad and
pleasant recollections in the minds Of many
whom he addressed.
After the announcement by the Chief
Mars hal, Col. McCune, of the rules and reg
ulatons, the contest began, and resulted as
follows:
The lst honor was awarded to James ". Wead.
End to F. NJ McComh Ord to VIM. Hanger 4th
to Saml Whitmore; 5th to Dewitt Turk; 9th
to Alex Turk.
The whole assembly then removed to sui table
grove in the neighborhood where every prepara-
ton had been made by the managers for suita-
ole close oe the ceremonies. The successful
knights then escorted to the platform the ladies
of their choice and crowned them in the follow
| ing order:
| Queen Of Love and Beauty, Miss Kate Estill LIST
Maid of honor Miss M. E. Brooks ; End Maid of
honor Miss Sally Mowry; 3rd Maid of honor
Miss K. Yount; 4th Maid of honor Miss Sally NJ.
Wead 9th Maid of honor Miss Ella Kennerly.
These, followed by hundred or more Of the
fair sex, were escorted to the extensive tables
which were arranged with great taste and well
filled with every thing which hungry Knights or
dainty maidens could desire. After doing full
justice to the provisions, the dancing was be-
gan and continued in spite of threaten ing clouds
and occasional thunder, till the day was gone and
the evening star winked the signal for retiring.

We have noticed that your people have nomina
ted old Augustus able and distingu ished son, A.
Fl. II. Stuart, as Candidate for Congre ss in this
District He will prove the right man in the right
place His rare genius, his great experience and
profound craftsmanship, his conservatism and
practical good sense evinced in his of State
and National Legislator, eminently qualify him
for Representative in this trying period Of our
oonntry's history.
Mr.. Stuart is truly representative man orig
inaly opposed to the policy of secession, he brot
all his great powers of mind and of action to bear
against it, as well as to effect settlement of
difficulties, with the view of saving oceans of
blood and millions of treasure.
When, however, the coercive policy of Mr. Lin
coin arrayed his States and all the Southern con-
servatives in opposition to coerced Union, then
were his sympathies manifested for his people in
their mighty struggle for separate Independence.
When we had political parties, always acted
and voted in opposition to Mr.. Stuart; am,
therefore, not biased by any old attachments
growing out of former party afinities. Rockbridge
will edo honor to whom honor is DUE" and give
him, we predict, an almost unanimous vote.

Sensible of the press on the columns
of your paper now, we shrink from trespassing on
Them. We think we will touch responsive chord
tn every breast in the county, in asserting that
the suffrages of Augusta are eminently due to N.
K. Trout, Esq, as a candidate for the Senate.
Retiring, shrinking. modest he has never asserted
a claim to such position, when all wi admit it
has been stronger, much, than that of some who
have been the recipients Of trust at the hands of
the people. He has been every body's man, as a
faithful and accommodating servant, had like to
have said drudge and no one rich or poor who
has gone to him for counsel, or for advice, has
gone empty away Especially has this been true
since the war, when the number of those capable
of giving it has been so much lessened. Has he
prefted by it as some we could put our hands up
on, have done9 No he has rendered more SER
vice Of all kinds gratuitously than all the bar OF
Staunton together, and we do not regard the as
sertion ex travagant. He will make CAREFUL eff
cisnt, accurate, useful member of the Senate.
