We find, in tbe Mirdi:eviUe Union, the following interesting atatement ol ibe views and recent action ol tbe tiavernor ol Uwnrgia :. Wben Uoveruor Urown was notified by tbe Secreta ry of war of the passage Ol the Conscription Act, and tbat all the State troops between 18 and 35 years ol age must go into the Confederate service! be yielded to tbe necessity and promptly transit r red the ettate troops to the Confederate ueiiera: ratber than bare open eon diet in tie face of the enemy. He, however, promptly notified the f resident that he considered the Act a violution ot the Constitution of the Confederate States. and a severe blow at the rights of tbe States and tbe fundamental doctrines for which we aie contending; and tbat be should have nothing to do with the enroll' ment of the Conscripts j that Le should do no act to commit tbe State to the policy, but should rtservt the questioa of the tonstitutionulity ol the act and Us binding force upou the peopla of tbe State,, for their decision at tbe eurlitst period when it can be dene with but serious e m hurras in nt to the Copied racy in the prosecution of the war; that Oeorgia, in response to every call made upon her, had furnished more troops than the 1'iesidcut asked lor, and that she would have furnished 20,000 more, it her Executive had been called on as part of ber quota for so large number, No plea of necessity ecu d, tberelore, in the opinion of tbe Ucv ernor, be set op for the passage of the Act, es fur as Uetrcia is concerned. It is a well known, fact that the rrrs'ulsnt bag hot arms enough to arm all tbs troops now in the field. Tbe Conscription Act will csll into the field a very larsre unarm! force, and take these men all from their farms at a time which will cause many thousands of acres of land to lie idle, when it is ol tbe utmost import ance tbat they be cu.tivated to produce supplies or pr visions. The Governor bas written the President, call ing bis attention to the importance of exempting such overseers as are necessary to govern our slaves, and cause them to cultivate our lands and inakeprovigiotis The President bas replied, referring him to the Exemp tion Art. which does not exempt them and declining to five any assurance that tbey will be exempt. I be uovernor is ot opiuion mat we mue. never oeen in danger for want of men, but that our deficiency bas been the want of arms ; sad if the dtftntwt polity is to be persisted in, and large numbers of men forced to leive their farms and go into camp for the summer with out arms, wben tbey are so niuca neeJed in their fijlds, be seriously fesrs that we are io greater danger of being overcome with hunger than from any other cause. For tbe last twelve months Governor Urown has favored a more active, and aa acgressive.policy, and his opinion now is mat ine nest thing mac eeuu possiDy be done would be to throw a column ot mty to seventy five thousand of our best trained men to Chattanooga, n the shortest time possible, snd put tbem under Uen. Price or someone elte who has shown thaVcature made him a Oeaeral. and march tbem rapyfily by way of Nashville upon Louisvillj and Ciocionti. This would throw them into General Buell's res aod be would be compelled to .IcJIow tbem into Kentucky. General Beauregard could then follow close after Until. This would compel tie .Federal column operating against East Tennessee Lj fall back towards the Ouo. and Gen eral Kirby Smiln could follow, and in thirty days there would not be a Federal soldier in Tennessee. The tflect would be not only to liberate that noble State, but to arcu her whole people and the people of the whole Confederacy to renewed energy and activity. We are now supporting our own armies and a large portion of the Liucola array, from tbe productions of the Cotton States. Tbe proposed movement would drive back the Federal army and place our own army in the rick fidJs aod green pastures of Kentucky, where supplies would be abundant ; while tbe railroad connection would be re-opened into the heart of Tennessee and enable ns to draw supplies from ber rich valliee for the support of our people at borne, now so bard pressed for provjaioos. It may be objected that we bave not tbe i5.000 men in the fjeld to Bpare. We can readily concentrate tbem by withdrawing them from places where they are guarding points which must fall when attacked by tbe gunboats of the enemy, and which are of but little value when compared with the grand object to be accomplished. We bave simply hinted at the outline of a policy to which we may recur at a future tima. ..1 Ia Floriai, guerilla parties occapy nearly every hammock and cross-road in tba east, and have already struck terror to the enemy by their bold attacks npoa their pickets.
