Governor Brown. Of Georgia, il not
the only Rebellious Southern Chief
with WHOM Jefferson Davis has trouble
in these troublous times Of the Con
federtcy His Ezcelleney; Governor
CLARK, d Mississippi, emboldened by
the stand which Brown has taken,
gross impudent toward the central
power at Richmond, and considers 1t
oyerstepping the bounds Of law and
justice. During the late raid Of Gen
Davidson through Mississippi Clark
called out the militia to oppose
the Union troops, and when the
danger was passed he ordered
them to disband. But Davis vas
on the alert, and thinking The eppor-
nifty Of securing these men for service
in the Rebel Amy TOO good 20 be 1os''
he despatched 5 demand 10 Governor
Clark that the State forces should be
turned over 70 the Confederate an-
thorities.H This was unlocked for IS
sumption Of power on the part Of the
rebel President, and Governor Clark
properly indignant, refused to comply
with the demand He insists that be
is the rightful ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of
The militia, and expresses his deter
mination 10 assert and stand by bis
rights This is [ old movement and
Governor Clark proves himself bold
msB. What will Davis dot Is the
question But 70 make worse the I'm,
pleasant situation regarding domestic
affairs IN the "Confederscy," Governor
Watts, o. Alabama, turns up IS re
fractory spirit He, too, looks on Davis
as encroaching further upon the rights
Of the States than is altogether agree
able OF lawful With Brown and
Clark, be resolves to maintain the
rights Of State sovereignty intact
The legislature Of the State supports the
Governor in his opposition TO the rebel
authority, and refused at lis late session
to amend the militia laws, sdjourning
without taking any action whatever
upon the subject Thus twill be seen
dissatisfaction, if not open rebellion
against the Rebellion, exists to an
alarming extent in the South. The
three great States of Georgia, Alabams
and Mississippi have given an enoT
nous humber Of men for the war, and
the people have about arrived at the
conclusion that the draft upon them
has been sufficiently heavy. They see
that all the men furnished the Rebel
Government have failed to accomplish
anything more than to supply them as
food for powder, and they are naturally
becoming disguised ana weary of the
contest
In this condition Of sentiment, the
doctrine Of State rights Gomez in most
fortunately. Davis certainly should
not find fault with Governors. Brown,
Watts and Clark. The doctrine is his
Own pet, and be should not repUdiate
it nov, no matter how inopPortunely it
Is applied. Il is hard to bear the suub-
bling which his fractions Governors
have given him, but we incline to the
belief that Jefferson Davis will have to
pat up with it and pocket the insult

0meIaU Var BuIleGin-Re Rebel Report
Of the Fall Of Fort Fisher.

WAR DEPARTMENT, January !, 9 P n
To Major General Dix, New York
The Richmond Wing Of this morning
contains the following account of the
| capture Of Fort Fisher by the naval
and land forces of the United States:
The unwelcome news of the fall OF
Fort Fisher, commanding the entrance
TO Cape Fear river, was received this
morning, snd caused a sensation Ofpro-
found regret The capture of this fort
is equivalent to the closure of the har
Dor Of Wilmington by the enemy feet
Its situated about eighteen miles be
low the city, but was the main defence
of the entrance to the river, and its fall.
therefore, will prevent in future, the ar
risal and departure of blockade run
ners. sa.
How far the reverse nay prove inju
rious to our cause Iemsins to be seen,
but at the present, we regard 1t rather
| an unfortunate than disastrous event.
The following is the official report;
HEADQUARTERs NORTHERN VIRGINIA,

Bragg reports that the enemy bonn
barded Fort Fisher furiously all day
yesterday. At4 P X their infantry ad-
vanced 70 the assault, q heavy demon

against their rear by our troops,
Gen. Whiting reports that their at

being strengthened with fresh troops

to excite all their ancient prejudices and reoS'
tablish the old and painful issues. 81 wish,
said noted Southern leader, recently, 81 wish
never again to hear the word3 South. Hence
forward this is the great American Republic, and
I am an American" If this feeling could be in
troduced into our new political relations 1t
would be blessed thing; but with narrow,
contracted, unjust policy, doing wrong to four
millions of our w-countrymen, the moral
sense of the country can never rest content.
Our American system needs further purifcation,
and to this our politics must hereafter be de-
voted.
While there are many things that we would
have otherwise, yet there is much in the politl-
cal situation to make us thankful. The future
is easy sailing compared with the past, and all
the moral contests to come are nothing when
compared with what we have undergone. we
live in hope. God will never allow History to
write at the erd of this chapter that all our sa'
cred dead fought and died in vain.
