MACON, August 10, 1864.

President DAVIS:

Your dispatch to your aide, Colonel Browne, referred to me, only reached me yesterday. His presence is most important now in view of efforts of Governor to force a conflict with Administration. Colonel Browne has conducted controversy with great prudence, and baffled every attempt to entrap him. Unless you need his services very urgently I respectfully request he be continued in Georgia.

HOWELL COBB,

Major-General.
