from neqeeetioaed authority, that they have

eailed out 75,000 men, they any to protect tbe
public property now in their poMeation, and to
retake and protect that which they hare bean
forced to give op; yet, wherever they erenow,
they have prepared to deatroy tha property,
and have deetroyed, or attempted to deatroy,
all that wa hava compelled them to relinquish,
because of their intention! to use it for the pur

I find that you are fully np to the music, that
you thoroughly comprehend our condition, and
are resolved to do your whole duty. I find our
people every where are alive to their intereeU
and their duty in this crisis. Such a degree of
popular enthusiasm was never before seen in
this Country. I find my fellow cltixeus a!l along
the railroad line, eager to hear the news and to
speed our glorious cause with their services.
This is the fifth speech which I have made since
I left home this evening at six o'clock. In my
town yesterday, a meeting was held, a company
wus organized, and their services tendered to
oar government A flag was made in two hours
by our patriotic ladles and presented to the Com
pany, and 12^00 was raised to equip the Com*
pany and take care of the needy families of Sol
diers who may go off to fight for oar Country.
My friends! forget not the Soldier! 8end him
contributions to make him comfortable while
he U in Die service. Take care of his femily
while he U absent Employ your bands and
your substance in doing works of charity in this
day of your Country's trial. If any should loll
in the battle, remember the orphan and the
widow, and take care of them. God will bless
you in such noble performances of a patriotic
duty.
My fellow citizens, I must close these remarks.
I am gratified to meet you to-night. I am gratifi
ed that Geoigia, and all the South is a unit. I
rejoice to be able to tell you the welcome news
that Virginia is a unit. Nearly every single
member of her Convention will sign her Ordi
nance of Secession. And now with my best
wishes, I bid you good night.
His speech was rapturously applauded
throughout; aad aa be retired, three oheere for
Stephens were given with a will.
In a few moments, in response to urgent so
licitations, he again name on the platform and
•aid:
The news from Washington is very interest
ing. It has been stated in the newspapers—
first, that the Virgioie troop* had occupied
Arlington Heights, joUacrow the Potomac from
the President’s House; and again, that Lin-
eoln’s troop# had occupied that point My in
formation it, that both these atatemenU are
incorrect Lincoln, however, has occupied
Georgetown Heights He has from fifteen to
twenty thousand soldiers stationed in and
ubout Washington. Troops are quartered iu the
Capitol, who are defacing its walla and orna
ments with grouse and filth, like n set of van
dal horde#. Tha new 8enate Chamber has been
oonverted into n kitchen and quarters—cook
ing and sleeping apparatus having actually
been erected and plaoed in that elegant apart
ment. The Potent Office it oon varied into
Soldiers 1 barracks snd is ruined with their
filth. The Postoffice Department is made a
storehouse for barrels of flour and bacon. All
the departments are appropriated to base
usee, nod despoiled of their beeuty by those
treeeherous destructive enemies ef our coun
try. Their filthy spoliations of the public
buildings snd works of art at the Capitol, and
their preparations to destroy them, are strong
evidence to nay mind that they do not intend
to hold or defend tho place; but to abandon it
after having despoiled and laid it in ruins—

A company of frea negroes at Pe eraburg,
Virginia, volunteered tkeir aerticae lo go lo
Norfolk lo render the State any service* they
could iu auy capacity, either as servant a, la
borers, or aa soldiers. They are uoder Ike

gentleman of Petersburg. They are one hun
dred in number, and look their departure on
Thursday, tha 2tith April. A beautiful Con
federate Slates flag was presented lo them,
which had been made by (ha fair ladies of
Bollingbrook street for the purpose. It was
acoompaniad by an appropriate epeeoh from
John Dodson, Esq.
Charles Tinsley, one of iheir number, step

aaid—“ I could feel no greater pride, no more

This was truly a patriotie apeecb, coming
from the source it did, and was reeeived with
a general outburst of sheering and applause.
The men were then marched down Syca
more street to the tune of “ Dixie,” to the
depot, where, in the presence of an immensa
crowd of darkies, they took their departure.
They number just one hundred.
Much feeling was shown, and many affect

at parting.

A Proclamation.
By Joseph E. Bbowm, Govshnob or Gkokkia.
Whibkas, by tbe oppressive and wicked
eonduot of tbe Government and people of that
part of the lets United States of America
known as the anti-slavery Slates, war actually
exists between Ibsm aod the people of the
Southern States, and whereas, the l’resideot
of the United States has issued bis proclama
tion, declaring his determination to blockade
the ports of ihe Southern Siaiee, and is now
oolleotiog federal troops upon Southern soil,
for tbo purpose of subjugating and enslaving
os; aud whereas, properly belonging !0 ihe
citizens of tho Slate of Georgia wherever foued
within tbe anti-slavery Sistei, is seized and
foroibly taken from its owners; and whereas,
all contraois made with ths enemy daring tbe
existence of hostilities, ers, by tbe law of na
tions, illegal and void, and all remedies for
the enforcement of contraets, In our Courta,
between citizens of this State and citizens of
tbe Slates now making war upon ns, which
were made prior to the commencement of hos-
tiliiiee, are suspended till the terminntion of
the war; and whereas, in the language of the
law of nations “the purchase of bills on the
enemy’* country or the remission aod depos
it of funds there, is a dangerous and illegal
act, because it may be cherishing tbe resour
ces and relieving the wants of the enemy;
and tbe remission of fuods in money or bills
lo subjects of the enemy is unlawfuland
whereas, sou&d policy, as well as international
law, absolutely forbids that any citizeo of this
State, shall, under any pretest whatever as
sist tbe enemy by remitting, paying or fur
nishing any money or other thing of value,
during the continuance of hostilities, to the
government of our people of the States which
have waged and are maintaining a most un
natural and wicked war against us; aud
whereas, justice requires that all sums due
from citizens of this S'ste to individuals in
such hostile States who do not uphold and
•uslain the savage aud cruel warfare inaugu
rated by their government, should be prompt
ly paid so soon aa hostilities have ceased, and
the independence of the Cenfederate States is
recognized by tbe government vf Ihe Lotted
States.
Therefore, iu view of these considerations,
I, Joseph E. Drown, Governor and Comntau-
der-in Chief of the army aod navy of the
State of Georgia, do issue ibis, my proctama
lion, commanding and enjoining upon each
citizen or inhabitant of this ate, that heab-
§ta ; n absolutely from all violations of the law
above recited, and that he do not under any
pretext whatever, remit, transfer, or pay to
the Government of the United States,or any one
•f (he States composing said government,
which is kdown as a free soil State, iuclwding
among others the States of .Massacbasalts,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio; or to any
citizen or inhabitant of any such State, any
money, bills, drafts, or sny other things of
value, either in payment of aey debt due or
hereafter ie become due, or for, or on aocount
ef, sny other cause whatever, until the ter
mination of hostilities.
And I hereby invite eech citizen or in
habitant of this Stale who is indebted to said
government; or either of said States, or any
sitizsn or inhabitant thereof, to pay the
amount of such indebtedness, whenever due,
into the Treasury of Georgia, ia any funds
bznkable in Augusta or Savannah, or to de
posit ths same subject to the order of tbe
Treasurer of ibis State, in any of the solvant
Banks of either of said cities, or in any legal
ly authorized agency of either of said Banks;
aod upon the making of any such deposit at
the Treasury, or upon presentation of any
•uoh certificate of deposit, theoTreasurer of
this 8tste is hereby directed snd required to
deliver to suoh person a certificate specify
ing the sum so deposited; which I hereby de
clare the faith and credit of this State will be
pledged to repay to euoh depositor in funds
bankable in Augusta and Savannah, with sev-
ven per eent. interest from the date of the de
posit, eo soon as hostilities shall have eeased,
and it shall again be lawful for debtors to pay
tbe eeme to creditors in ths hostilo States
above mentioned. This will not only afford
lo sock of our citizens as owe money to North
ern creditors, whioh international law and
public policy forbid them at present to
pay, n safe investment end the highest securi
ty for its return to them at the end of tbe war,
but it will enable them, io the mean time, to
perform a pat riot io duty, and to aesiat the
8tato, and through her tbe Confederate States,
in raising the ftindo necessary to the susosm-
ful defense of our homee, our firesides, and
eur altars.
Aod I do further command and etrioily en
join upon all and every chartered Bank in this
State, whioh may be ia possession of any note,
hill, drift, or other peper binding any citizen
of thie State to pay money to any one of eaid
hostile Stolen, or auy Inhabitant or corpora
tion thereof, or belonging to soy such State or

JOSEPH *. MOWN;
For th« 8outh«rn Confederacy*
Union Prayer Meet luge.
In times of such great excitement and war
like preparations, let ua not be unmindful of
our obligations to tbe God of all our mercies as
well ae the God c f battles In tbe Constitution
of thie Confederacy, the wise heads and patri
ot! i hearts who framed that instrument, were
not unmindful of this great principle—remem
bering that “righteousness exslteth a nation,
but sin is a reproach to any people.”
When we calmly snd dispassionately look
upon tbe scenes that are daily occurring around
us—the sound of the mar.ial drum, the glit
tering muskets and the tread of the soldiery ee
they pass through onr streets, doubtlesz many
timid hearts may quake, but let no fearful fora-
bodinge of the future nnnerve as for the con
flict. JOar came is just—it is the cause of
religion, oor home* snd firesides—the protec
tion of our mothers, sisters and children.
My fellow countrymen, we have struggled
for more than twenty years to evade these very
difficulties which are now upon us with such
fearful consequences— and, as the last effort to
secure tranqaility and panes with our Northern
brethren, we have withdrawn from them, trust
ing that this would turn aaids the evils which
we have so much deprecated. Even this Is
unavailing, and ibe cry now is—blood f and
nothing but l>lo<>d ! If Dotliing else will do
them, with firm steps aud brave hearts we will
meet them on tbe battle field and struggle for
Ihe victory. Ours is thv cause of tbe Bib/r,
tbeirs of fuuaticUm. Oura ia tbe cause of rigkt t
theirs of wrong end rfivyrer*. We ere for sus
taining an inntitution which was created by
God himself. They deny this principle snd
dsoy the oraolee of Jehovah. With euoh facts
as these arrayed before High Heaven, and
Submitted “to a candid world,” when the strug
gle comes, 1 verily believe th it God the Etern
al will be, to our artnfee, a •• pillar of cloud by
day, aod of tire by night; while thousands will
fail before them, and tens of thousands flee at
their pretence.**
To a.d in (hie work of redeeming our coun
try from Ihe difficulties into which we have
fallen, I would suggest to our vsrioueOhristian
denominations, over the entire Confederacy,
the propriety of assembling together on the
Jir*t and laet Sabbath nights in each month
during tbe waft, for tho purpoaeof invoking the
blessings of Almighty God upon our common
country—the protection of our armies fiota
sickness and slaughter, and for our final su#
ceasful and glorious victory. Lei these meet
ings be especially set apart for these purposes
alone, where g// tAt jnepb may go hp end wor
ship in the beauties ot hdliftest, “For without
me ye can do. nothing." Also, let three meet
ings bp alternately at the different churches.
With ah army in the field, as brave as ever
fared tho cannon’a month, aad tha prayers of
millions going up to heaven in their behalf,
aurrets will perch upon onr banners, and the
topmost stone ef the second Tam pie of fdherty
will soon go up with “shouts of graee, green
unto ft." J. W. P.
