COBB COUNTY TROOPS.
Our county is beginning to wake up in earnest.
Besides the Acworth Companies, and the McDonald
Guards, there has been a company just organized
for the service es the South in R iswell, with full
ranks. At Powder Springs another is nearly- ro
ganized, and in Marietta, we have a new one al
most ready to be mustered into service.
Deposition of Sam Houston.
' lie circumstances attending the deposition of
Sam Houston as Governor of Texas, were qu'ffe
dramatic, and in some respects ludicrous and
comical. The Convention ofTexas, called by the
loud voice of the people against the denunciations
and opposition of Governor Houston, having pass
ed the act of secession, and accepted and ratified
the Constitution of the Confederate States prescrib
ed a form of oath to be taken by all the State of
ficers. This oath included a renunciation of all
allegiance to all foreign powers, and especially to
the Government of the United States, and declara
tion of fidelity to the Constitution of the C. S. A,
When the oath was proposed to Governor Houston
he peremptorily refused to take it; whereupon the
Convention declared the office of Governor vacant,
and Lieutenant-Governor Clark, under tEe Consti
tution, having taken the prescribed oath, succeed
ed to the office. Governor Clark was not slow in
entering upon the Gubernatorial functions, and
proceeding to the Governor’s office, assumed .the
chair and entered upon the duties of the office. By
and by, the deposed Governor came hobbling to
his office —old Sam’s San Jacinto wound having
broken out afresh, a- it al ways does on occasions
of political trial Perceiving Governor Clark occu
pying the chair, Old Sam addressed him :
‘•Well, Gvuu’nor Clark,” giving great emphasis
to the title ; “ you are an early riser.”
‘‘ Yes, General," replied the Governor with a
great stress upon the military title of his predeces
sor. ”1 am illustrating the old maxim, ” the early
bird gathers the worm.”’
“ Well, Governor Clark, I hope you will find it
an easier scat than I Lave found it.’
” I ll try to make it so, General, by conforming
to the clearly expressed will us lhe people ot Tex-
The General, having brought a large lunch bas
ket with him, proceeded to put up numerous little
articles of private property, and to stow them away
very carefully. Catching his foot in a hole in the
carpet and stumbling, the General suggested to
Gov. Clark, that the new Government ought to af
ford a new carpet for the Governor’s office ; where
upon the Governor remarked that the Executive of
Texas could get along very well without a carpet.
Approaching the washstand, the General called
the attention of Governor Clark to two pieces of
rtoa p—one, the Castile soap, was his own private
property; and the other, a perfumed article, wa
the property us the State, and added, ‘•Governor,
you.- hands will require the very frequent use ot
this cleansing article;” whereufion Gov. Clark,[mint
ing to the washbowl, which was full of very black
and dirty water, remarked: ‘General, 1 suppose
that this is the bowl m which you washed your
hands before leaving the office.”
Having gathered up all his duds, old Sam made
a little f..: .well speech very much in the style of
Cardinal Woolsey, declaring his conviction that
us in the past, the time would soon come wheu
Texas would call him from his retirement, aud he
hoped GoV. Clark w.,uld be able to give as good
an account cf his stewardship as be could now
render. Halting at the door the general made a
profound bow, and with an air of elaborate dignity,
said, “Good day Governor Clark.” “Good day
General Houston,” was the Governor’s response.
And thus the “Hero of Sun Jacinto” concluded
his political career?— N. O. Deßn.
Meeting of Citizens.
A meeting of the Citizens of Cobb County was
heli this day at the Court House in Marietta■—
Hon. David Jrwin was called to the Chair, and Juo.
S. Wright appointed Secty.
The object of the meeting having been eloqent
ly explained by the 1 Chairman on motion of Col.
A V. Brum’y it was Resolved that a committee of
five, of which the Chairman of thia meeting shall
he one, be appointed to report business for the con
sir.eratien of the n eetirig. The Committee appoin
ted were, Col. A. V. Brumby, Rev. J. M. Daniell,
Col. A. A. Winn and Thos. 11. Moore, Esq.
The Committee haying retired, the meeting was
entertained by A. W. HoleomEe, Esq., in an elo
quent and patriotic speech on the crisis, the mag
nitude of the object for which the South was con
tending, and the duty of every one with regard to
it.
.The comniitttce having returned, reported the
following preamble and resolutions which were
adopted unanimously.
Whereas. The President of the United States,
by refusing to receive Commissioners from the Con
federate States, and by notifying the authorities
of this Government of his intention to provision
Fort Sumter, with the manifest design of inaugura
ting sectional war .And whereas, by calling for 75,-
000 troops, by blockading onr ports, and by the
most rapid and extensive preparations for war, evi
dently intends to qse all the means in his power to
subjugate the Southern States: therefore
Resolved, That the people of this County will
meet the struggle with their full proportion of
whatever amount of men and means the State of
Georgia, niay be called upon to furnish.-.
Resolved, That suitable measures be taken at
once, in different parts of the county, to enroll a
large number of’Volunteers, to be organized, drill
ed and held in repdness tq respond promptly t’o
any call from the Confederate States for an addi
tional number of troops.
Resolved, that a Committee of ten be appointed
to solicit funds to be used in uniforming and equip
ing such volunteers as may not be able to uniform
themselves, and to assist their families during
their absence in the service of the country.
Resolqed, That this meeting highly apprises of
the plan of forming companies of "Silver Grays,”
composed of men over 45 years of age, who shall
not go into active service for any speeitiid time, but
shall arm themselves and meet together from time
to time, tor drill or other purposes, and hold them
selves in readiness to meet any emergency that
may arise in their own county.
Resolved, That said Committee shall have power
to appoint such Sub-Committees as may be necessa
ry to carry the foregoing resolutions into full ef
fect. It is further
Resolved, That all Committees hereafter appoint
ed shall report all contributions received for the
purposes aforesaid to the Committee. It is further
Reso’ved, that said Committee have full power
t<> make all necessary rules and regulations to give
effect to the objects aforesaid ; and it shall be the
duty of said Committee to make and keep a per
fect list of all such families as may be the object of
this bounty; and to keep a strict account of all
sums received, and fruin whoni, and of all sums
paid out. and for what purpose ; and to report the
same to the citizens of this county when culled
on,
The committee appointed under the third resolu
tion are, Town District, A. W. Holcombe; Lemon’s
J. M, Daniell ; Powder Springs Jonathan L ndlev;
Uox’s R. Mobley; Oregon Jno. Dai by ; Acworth
A. M. Northcutt; Big Shanty A. A. Winn ; Grit
ter R. Lattimer ; Roswell C. Dunwoody; Merritt’s
J no. Y. Alexander.
The stirring appeal by Col. A. V. Brumby on
the threatening attilttlJe of the South, and the im
portance of inilita y organization and thorough
drill, was felt and fully appreciated by every one
present.
A paper having been presented for the
of such as were willing to Contribute means to the
objects contemplated in the resolutions, over tinea
thousand dollars were subscribed on the spot, and
since the adj mrnment the list is being rapidly aug
mented. Indications are thus furnished that Cobb
County will not be behind in men or means in the
present contest.
During the meeting, the McDonald Guards, now
organized and ready for service filed in the Court
House, and a thrilling speech from the gallant Capt.
Johnson, elicited outbursts of applause.
O motion the Marietta Advocate and Statesman
were requested to publish the proceedings us this
meeting.

The Chairman of the Provisional Commit
tee appointed under above resolutions, requests

Prompt Action. —The Secretary of War of the
Confederate States called on G >v. Brown, by tele
granh,on Friday evening, for two or three Compa
nies of volunteers, to march immediately to Nor
fb’k. Virginia. In three hours the. Go,verier res
ponded that he had four Companies really, which
he ordered. They were accepted, an lon Satur

a prompt re-porise by the g. llant Volunteers.—
These four Companies, Hardeman, and Smith, of
Macon. Colqtiitt of C"lumhus. ai.d Doval of Griffin,
are among the finest C- 1: panics in ♦he State, and

The Union men cf Delaware are in a bad fix
though the population is largely for the Union.—
The State arms a-e in possession of the secession
ists, transferred by the Governor, who has not
responded to the requisition of the President, and
will not. The Union men hope the Goverrnent will
take possession of the upper part of the State in
order to secure the powder mill at Brandywine, at
which the secessionists evidently airn.

Gov. Moore have arrived.— Mont Adv., 24th.
