jured, aud with the proud ooucious
ness that tire honor of their State
ha* been unstained, and that their
gallantry lm* been shown by the no
ble manner in which they have man
ned the batteries for their country's
independence It is to those men
and those officers that we one every
thing; amt I do not pretend to saim
anything myself, except tlfii’t my
heart has been rilled with deep anx
iety; and I nave spent luf night* in
painful and constant examination
of all the details and ull the points,
that might be ncgossitry not only to
save the lives of our brave men, but
to d“f'Mid the independence of iny
country, and when the day had come
at the proper time to strike, and to
strike for her independence, at any
and at every hazard, let the conse
quences be what they may. [Pro
longed applause]
We have now taught a great les-
Wmftothis Confederacy. It is now
clear that nil purposes of justice of
equality and of common liberty, our
American institutions arc as strong
as any that have ever been offered
for the government of man. Put
when they perverted to the purposes
of injustice and fanaticism, of insult
and wrong, that those same institu
tions are powerless; and that when
they lose that power which comes
from right, that as far as the Amer
ican people are concerned they are
impotent and imbecile, because the
heart of "the Ameriern people in re
ality, beutß for wfimt isjright. [lm
mense cheering.] We'then stand
upon the right. We stand upon the
iualicnablo right of a people to
choose their own institutions, and
that all just government rests upon
the consent of the governed, and that
any government that attempts to
exercise power without this consent
not only is unjust to a brave, true,
and patriotic people, but that peo
ple can defy that power, and they
can conquer, and they can triumph.
[Applause.]
But let me say again, fell nv-cit- j
izans, that I am in rather a poor j
condition to apeak at this time of
night, under the confusion that |
comes from u noisy street, and I re
turn you my thunks, and hope that
there may be no events to sa Idcn the
future, but that the present priori- j
oils dsy .will ever be remembered a:id
sink so deep into the hearts of a
grateful people ns to show that by
virtue and firmness, they not only
can be* free, but prove to the world
that they deserve to be free. j Loud

Revolved, That the Richmond

espeeiail due, and are hereby tender

manner in which they entertained

Departure o r the Burlffc Sharp Shooters
Friday the T9th was an eventful |
day with our jdoinmunity. <,A day,
iu its record, associating mote soul- j
than any in
the half century of onr history. It
was the day of the departure of the ]
first volunteer company from onr
county, for the site of war-—(the;
Burjce Sharp Shooters) repress li-1
ing the best citizenship old Burke 1
—the first in education, intelligence, 1
moral position and wealth.
The company after forming on the ;
public square of the village, was cs- j
cor ted by a detachment of the Au
gusta Hussars and our Burke
Guards, to the Depot. There n
large concourse of our citizens con
vened to bid them adieu. Many
courtesies appropo to the occasion,]
were tendered them, among which
was a patriotic and eloquent address;
by R.iliert Reynolds of onr county.
Amidst the adieus of friends and !
relatives; the bustle of preparation]
and tlif din.pf drums r.u&l 'fi'figy sh-Y
assembly seemed strikened with I
much agitation, and as we gazed up
and down the line scanning the mar
tial we were struck with a
buoyancy of youth mantling in the
rich fragrance of manhood, in al
most every form. Though the warm
heart had lit up every feature with!
the glowing pride of a gallant fu
ture, yet the soft shadows of those!
tender endearments soon to be bid'
adieu to, flitted off as if afraid j
to leave, yet dureiug not to stay.
The glistening tears of fathers, i
«i piers, brothers and even
dearer-ones, and the burning cheers j
of devoted friends, commingled with!
the soul's warmest benedictions,
peemod more irresistible, than the j
crushing batteries of a malignant ;
foe.
We heard a gallant mother in the
aspirations of a bleeding heart, as
she stood gazeing on the proud bear
ing of the idol of her bosorq, ex
claim, “ Mothers smile away your
tears, we should pray we had forty
sons for such a glory 1” What may
such hearts not achieve, impressed
witli the sacred obligations of duty,
and incensed by the blow of a cra
ven, ruthless invader.
Verily ! the scene was one inten
sified with those trying reflections,
which can be written only in the
! hearts of the noblest conformations
of our uature. Tho train for their
transportation bore nnother detach
ment of the Augusta military (the
Clinch Rifles) which forming with
the Hussars and tho Burke Guards,
tendered an imposing salute.
Then soon, all were aboard, and
away they passed from us amidst
showers of hoquets, bright cheers
and a thousand blessings, which we
here repeat, invoke! ng the protecting
.'Bgis of the God of battles to o’er
shadow them “even unto the times
when perils shall come no more.”
We give the following list cf
names below, as they are enrolled on
vellums in our country’s achives.—
Borne wo may omit, because, from
the hurry of preparation their sig
! natures were not taken. The editor
I of the News and his attaches are all
members of the company, and if the
pride ot country and a keen suscep
tibility of Southern honor, be the
true safe-guards cf our liberties, then
is our cau«o confided aright in the
■ trust W. A. Tompson, and those

So longer is the win*;. conjecture,
and in an earnest reality does the
black serfdom of Northern It publi
can ism dash its unholy fury upon
us. The treacherous brigans of the
“irrepressible cot ilict” have unfurl
ed their dark banners to the tempest
and the proud spirit of Southern free
dom has at last cast off its shackles
of forbearance and spurned the as
sault in its wonted gafffftW. The
call is for Southern sons to the de
fence of her liberties aud her honor,
and now the rush to her banners is
like the coming of mighty waters. —
Every soul i* 1 evened with theextu
cv of the glorious panorama, and
ivJtile tlie martial clart nnshcaths
thousand swords, its shouts peal up-**
wards to but. one Goddess and but'
one God.
Old Burke has been called to meet
the surging wave, and already does
she await its daubing fonriWipon here
breast. The Burks Shitrp. Shootefii
are in the field aud “ere the modi'
shall fill her horns” another galllnt j
band (The Bnrke Guards) will un- !
furl its colors to tho invaders front. 1
Victory, seduced l>y the caresses of
a fickle fortune, may perch upon the
standards of the ignoble and the
craven, but defeat nor death can
i never leash a Southerners loyalty to
a tyrants cur. The Northern free
| boOtcr may enlist his minioned mvr
mvdous, and riot fo~ awhile in his
lust of murder and plunder, hut the
j vengeance of insulted honor will yet
. throttle the base curl and thus
strangling the filthy vampire, wipe
I out the fetid stain from Southern
i soil. The call not onlv demands
strong arm." and willing hearts, but
a ! so open purses, and of those who
have it to give.
Patriot ism nor gallantry canno^ 1
sustain our liberties or protect our
j property without arms, food and
raiment, and we cannot think there
i is vet n Georgian so lost to honor or
| his own self interest, who will refuse
Ito contribute to the defence of the
; one or the safety of the other.' We
have meu in our county who have
I given both their money and their
jsons, and self, to the common cause,
and yet there aro others with their
.thousands who have given neither.
We ask such ! will they incur
their country’s scorn and the con
-1 tumcly of their race f Yea, even
dare the vengeance of tlnar j>eople,
1 now to refuse their just quota to the
irmir.t' iiifUi'seitif their nWn liberties
and fnr-lures? Wijl they permit
! their fellows to sacrifice their blood
! and treasure upon the attars of car
j their thousands may yet.

\ret believe not? and now as the
demand **j.up«>n us, beseeching yet
, impendive—we swear by the God
iof otir liberties, that we do not be
lieve there is u single being in our
county who will not cheerfully con
