Hill resided at Madison, on the main road to Augusta, andseemed to realize fully the danger; said that further resistance onthe part of the South was madness, that he hoped Governor Brown, ofGeorgia, would so proclaim it, and withdraw his people from therebellion, in pursuance of what was known as the policy of"separate State action. " I told him, if he saw Governor Brown, todescribe to him fully what he had seen, and to say that if heremained inert, I would be compelled to go ahead, devastatin...g theState in its whole length and breadth; that there was no adequateforce to stop us, etc. ; but if he would issue his proclamationwithdrawing his State troops from the armies of the Confederacy, Iwould spare the State, and in our passage across it confine thetroops to the main roads, and would, moreover, pay for all the cornand food we needed. I also told Mr. Hill that he might, in myname, invite Governor Brown to visit Atlanta; that I would give hima safeguard, and that if he wanted to make a speech, I wouldguarantee him as full and respectable an audience as any he hadever spoken to.
