GOYERNOR BROWNS MESSAGE.

Him..
We have already given q teIegrsphic
abstract of the late message of ths-rsbel
Governor Brown, Of Georgia, which has
provoked such excitement in the Confeder-
acy. We add some extracts. It win be
observed that he stacks JEFF. Davis and
the Coufedsrats Government with the
greatest bitterness The document is an
evidence of the intestine qusrrels which
nov distract the leaders Of the rebellion:
Rebel coEsCRTPTTeN POLICY DENOUNCED.
So fatal have been the results of our
wretched eonscription policy, which, how
ever wen adspted 70 control European
seFfs, or those raised to be slaves of power,
is 80 rspngnant 10 the feelings and spirit
Of free people thatit has driven our men
In despair to delinquency and desertion;
til the President hs1tnformed the country,
In his Macon speech, that two thirds Of
those who compose our armies are absent,
most of them without leave IF this be
true, it shows 9 lamentable want of patriot
ism and courage on the part Of the people,
OF an unwise and injudicious policy on the
part Of the administration, which imperils
the very existence Of the Ooniederacy, and
calls, for prompt Rad energetic action on
the part of the people to compel change
Of policy, which, if longer persisted in,
must result In utter ruin.
DAVE MILITARY EXPLOITS REYIEwED.
The President has been as unfortunate In
his generalship, planning military cam
paigns, as he has In his policy of recruiting
his armies. All remember his Arst appear
snee on the field as Command SIM Chief,
at the close of the battle of first Manassas,
when Gf reports are reliAble) he prevented
our generals from taking advantage of the
complete Generalization Of the Federal
army to march upon Washington City,
when it must have fallen into our hands
with bat little resistance. he visited the
army In Middle Tennessee and divided it,
sending part Of it TO Mississippi too late tes
accomplish any good result there, and left
General Bragg 30 weak that he was forced
to eYscuste tennessee which, together
with Vicksburg, fell into the hands Of the
enemy. He again appeared at Missionary
Ridge, and divided the army when q supe-
rior force was being nassed in its front.
General Longstreefs corps was sent into
he was out Of reach, when he fell upon the
remnant Of Bragg's army and drove it
back into Georgia, opening the way for the
advance into this State, and then sent
troops and drove Longztreet out Of East
Tennessee, and made himself master of
that invaluable stronghold of the Confed-
sracy. - -1~l

The President having failed IN his mil
itary administration and brought the coun-
try 70 the verge Of ruin BY his military
policy, should be relieved OF that part Of
his duties by an amendment ofthe Consti-
tuition to provide, for the appointment OF
Ander-in-O Chief Of the armies Of the
OonfederaeE by the President, by and
with the consent of two-thirdS Of the SEN
ate, who shall be entirely free from the
control Of the President and removable
only by the same power by which he was
appointed. This would place the best mil
itary talent Of the country in command of
her armies, not IN name only, but in TACT,
and would save Us IN future from the
