Wo arc requested to state that ttio ; e of our
citizens who may favor the formation ot a
4 ‘Home Guard” are invited to meet at the
Court House to-morrow morning,at 10 o’clock.
As many will probably be called from our midst,
to fight the battles of our country in other and
more distant quarters, it is the duty of those
who necessarily remain, to organize for the
protection and defence of our homes and fire
sides from dangers which may possibly arise. I
' We earnestly hope, therefore, that the meeting ,
alluded to will be largely attended and by those
who arc ready to co-operate in its object.
Ought to be Attended to. — We not cc
every Sabbath day, when the train comes, a
crowd of negroes about the train fur news, and
to find out what is going on, and from the train
they usually go up towards the Post Office to
hear what is said among those about thcie.—
Now we would like to know what business
negroes have in town on Sunday ? 1 his is no
place for them, and their owners ought not to
allow them to coine here unless they have
something for them to attend to, and when
' they do, give them orders to return in a stated
time, ami the Council ought to pass a law pre- (
venting negroes from staying in the place on '
that day, and inquire the Marshal to take i
them up and punish them whether they have a
pas? or not;
Am and Comfort.—We arc authorized to
state, says the Savannah Republican, that two
pentlbtn’m of this city will pay annually, in
semi-annual puymt nts, to the government of
the Southern Confedei aey, two hundred dollars,
for five years, or so long as the war may last,
if one hundred men in the Slate will join with
them in the arrangeirients. These two gentle
men, who aie brothers, exempt from militaiy
duty, but with their sympathies ali enlisted in
so holy a cause, are still willing to contribute
of their means foi' its success. Who will be
the fust to come forward and join tlie.se patri
otic < itizens ? Send your names to the Repub
lican.
Sentiment in Tri»uv*sc<*.
We wish that evei v man ui Tennessee couln
have witnessed the enthusiasm and unanimity
bf the citizens last night. It was the lar
gest and most enthusiastic meeting we have
ever seen in our city. Many of thd most ac- •
tiVc participators were those who, until vest,er- ;
day, have been the most devoted adherents ol
the Union. We have never heard such shout
ing, we have never seen such tossing up ol hats
hs wasl occasioned by the introduction of the i
broad and beautiful flag of thh t
States. The spiiit which prevailed in that
meeting authorizes ns to send greeting to the
Confcdeiate States and bid them God speed in
their struggle for independence. A I n-

President Davis’ Proclamation.
Montgomery, Ala., April 17, 1861.
Whereas Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States, has by proclamation announced
his intention of invading this Confederacy with
an armed force for the pin pose of capturing
the forts, and thereby subverting its independ
ence, and subjugating the free people thereof,
to the dominion of a force power, and whereas
it has thus become the duty of this Government
to repel the threatened invasion and to defend
the rightsand liberty of the people by ali the
means which the laws of nations and the usage
of civilized waifarc place at its disposal, now
therefore, I, Jeffebson Davis, President of
ti e Confederate Sta'cs of America, do issue
this my PrOclaination, inviting all those who
may desire byseiviee in preventing privatcer
iitg in armed vessels on the high seas, to aid
tlrs Government in resisting so inhuman and
wicked aggres ions, to make applications for
commissions or letters of marque and reprisal
to be issued iv der the seal of these Confeder
ate States.
And t do further notifyr.il persons applying
for letters of marque, to make a statement, in
writing, giving the name and a suitable des
cription of the character, tomige and force of
the vessels, and the name and place of residence
of each owner concerned therein, and the in
tended number of tlic crew; and to sign said
statement and deliver the same to tbe Secreta
ry of State, or to the Collector of any Port cf
Entry in these Confederate States, to be by him
transmitted to the Secretary of State.
And I do furthermore, notify all applicants
aforesaid, that where any commission or let
ters of marque is issued to any vessel, the
owner or owners thereof, and the commander
for the time b ing, will be required to give
bond to the Confederate States, with at least
two responsible sureties, not interested in such
vessel, in the penalty of five tho s iml (5,000)
dollars; or if such vessel be provided with
more than one hundred and fifty (150) men,
then in the penalty of t<-n thousand (10,000) o
dollars, with lhe condition that the owneis,
officers and crew, who shall be employed on
bond such commissioned vessel shall observe
lhe laws of these Confederate States, and the
instructions given to them for the regulation of
their conduct ; that they shall satisfy all dam
age done contrary to the tenor thereof by such
vessel during her commisson and deliver up
the same when required by the President ot
the Confederate States.
Ami I do further specially enjoin on all per
sons holding offices, civil and military, under
the authority of the Confederate States, that
they be diligent am! zealous in discliaiging the
duties incident thereto. Ard Ido moreover
solemnly exact good of these Confederate States,
as lhev love their country —as they prize the
bfc sings of free government —as they feel the
wrongs of the past —and these now thic-atened
in aggravated form by those whose enmity is
more implacable, because unprovoked that they
cxei t themselves in preset ving order ; in pro
moting concord ; in making the authority and
efficicit-ncy of the laws, and in supporting and
invigorating all the measures which may b_-
adopted for the common defense, ami by which,
under the blessings of Divine Piovidenee, we
may hope for a speedy, just and honorible
peace.
