Executive Depai'iinent. Milledgeville. May 17, 18GI. I To the People of Georgia- By their wicked and unprovoked aggres i ions upon our rights, our Northern neigh- I bors have driven us out of the Union estab -1 lished by our fathers, and are now waging i an unjust and unholy war upon us, and at- I tempting to overthrow the Government of I equality established by us for our own pro -1 tection. They are collecting a large military force upon our borders. They threaten to 1 invade our territory with large armies; to | sweep over it with lire ami sword: to ineit | our slaves to insurrection and murder; to vi j olate the sancity of our homes, and to in flict the most cruel and outrageuos wrongs j upon our wives and daughters. They ap peal to the very basest passions of the hu man heart for the purpose of exciting their j Soldiers and preparing them for the execu tion of their diabolical plans of rapine and ■ plunder. They promise to apportion our lands and divide our substance among their base mercinaries, as a reward for our exter mination and butche’y. In some of their largest cities, “beauty and booty” are made the rallying cry to induce the lowest rabble to enlist against us. In aid ot the Government of Mr. Lincoln now a military despotism, disregarding all Constitutional guarantees and restric tions, while engaged in an unholy crusade against us, the people of the North are mak ing largo contributions from their private funds io equip and support troops in the field to fight against t he South. The Government of the Confederate States which is the Government of our own choice, and entitled to the fullest confidence and most cordial support of every true Southern heart, has called for troops to meet these wicked invaders in the field of battle and to drive them back. Georgians have responded nobly to the call. Thousands have already left their homes, their friends, their wives, their chil dren, and all else that was dear to them on i earth, and are now in the field submitting ! to all the privations of camp life and endur ing all the hardships and fatigues of war for I the defence of our glorious common cause. Thousands more of our fellow-citizens must ! soon follow. While our gallant soldiers have our warm est sympathies and our most fervent prayers, ' shall they not also have our material aid, and shall we not see to it thatall the actual wants i of themselves and their families are sqppli €•• I. The Government of the Confederate States 1 having been but recently organized, and hav , ing to encounter an expensive war during the*fi.rst months of its existence, cannot be expected to supply promptly all things necs ! essary to the comfort of large armies in the field. I 'flie people of Georgia pay less tax in pro i portion to the value of their property than j the people of any other State in either Con- ■ | federacy. The aggregate value of our pri i j vate property is nearly eight hundred mil , lions of dollars. We would contribute ten NUMBER 14, • ■ millions of this to the support of our soldiers [ of free will offering and feel none the poor er. Let us not then subject ourselves to heavy taxation, or our posterity to heavy debt, but let us show to the world that we have the ability and the will, by private subcription, to clothe and feed our glorious and gallant troops m the Held and their families, at home while they are defendingour wives, our chil dren, out- homes and our altars. People of Georgia, as your Executive, I ap peal not to your legislators to tax you, but I appeal to your patriotism and your well known liberality in behalf of the soldier and , the Soldier’s family. The soldiers must have clothing. My appeal is first made to the ladies, whose fervent patriotism, burn ing zeal, and energetic action in our glorious struggle, rekindle in our minds the memor ies of the immortal women of the Revolution of 1776, and convince us that while their daughters have improved upon their intel ligence and refinement, and have more pe cuniary ability to act, they have abated noth , ing to their patriotism and their devotion to the cau.->e of freedom. I know therefore that my appeal to the women of Georgia will meet a hearty and cordial response. I request that each lady in Georgia prepare • at as early a day as she conveniently can, ' such contribution of soldier’s clothing as she may desire to make of such material and oi such color she may be able to command -—any kind of home made cloth will be ac ceptable—and that each one deposite her contribution with the Clerk of the Superior Court, of the county of her residence, who is requested to act as agent to receive it, and to keep a book in which he will enroll the name of each contributor with an account of her contribution. The Captains and Justi ces of the Peace of each Militia District in the State are respectfully requested to ap point meetings in their respective Districts, and to bring this question before the people and to act as agents for the ladies of their districts in forwarding their contributions with a correct account of the articles contrib uted by each, to the clerk of the Superior Court of the County. As the contributions are brought in, the Clerk is requested, at con venient intervals, to box and ship them at the expense of the State, to the Quartermas ter General of this State at Milledgeville, placing in each box a letter giving the name of the county from which it comes I cannot doubt that the Railroad and Express Compa nies in this State, with their accustomed liberality, will forward all such packages to the Capitol free of charge. So soon as the donations in each county ceased to be made, I request the Clerk of the Superior Court to transmit the book contain ing the names of the donors, with the ac count of the donation of each, to the Execu tive Office, to be deposited among the per manent records of the State. If each lady in the State should contribute but a single garment, the supply would be abundant for all our troops. While a few may not be pre* pared to contribute, many will doubtless do much more than this. To the lady making the most valuable con tribution of clothing before the first day of August next, to be judged by the Quarter master Geneneral, the Treasurer and the Comptroller General, I will present a beauti ful golden cup, and will cause her name to be enrolled on a blank leaf of the Book of Minutes of the Executive Department, with ; a statement of the reasons why it is so en » rolled. j I will also cause the names of eacL | nine ku-Ues num-kiug mu ma>tVutuable dona* Ntions next after the one above mentioned, be enrolled, each, on a seperate leaf, in like manner in the order in which the hon or is awarded to each by the three officers above mentioned. My next appeal is to the gentlemen. I propose that they raise by contribution one million of dollars immediately, to be used by the State in equipping and providing for the wants of the Georgia troops. I request the Justices of the Inferior Court of each county, or any two or more of them to act as agents for this purpose, and to ap point such persons in the different Militia Districts as they may think proper to assist them. I suggest that books of subscription be opened in each county on the first Tues day in June next, or so soon thereafter as may be convenient, and that public meetings be held in each county for the purpose of discussing the question and soliciting sub criptions. I have requested our able and faithful Comptroller General to make out from the tax books and publish a statement of the amount which would be the just proportion of each county, should each determine to contribute, its part of the one million dollars proposed to be raised. The Treasurer of this State, on being informed by the Justices of the Inferior Court of the amount of the do-> nation of the county, will direct the manner of its transmission to the treasury, and will receipt for the amount. The Justices in each county are respectfully requested, so soon as the books of contribution are closed to transmit them to the Executive Office that they may be preserved among the per manent records of the State. As the Executive of the State, 1 will pre sent a beautiful flag of the Confederate States to the county making the largest do nation in proportion to the value of its taxa ble property. To the gentleman making the largest do nation before the first day of August next, I will present a golden medal with appropriate inscriptions, and will enroll his name with a statement of thecause of its enrollment upon a blank leaf in the Book of Executive Min utes I will also enroll in like manner the names of the nine gentlemen making the next largest donations in the order in which they are entitled by the amount of their con tributions. Another suggestion, and I have done.— Our enemies are blockading our ports and cutting off our supplies from abroad. A kind Providence has blessed us with means of making within our own limits almost every thing necessary to our support and comfort and with a monopoly of the great staple which the world cannot do without. It is said our enemies exempt cotton from block adge. Why? Because they cannot do with out it. I appeal to our planters, therefore, to refuse to ship a bag while the blockade Lists. This will soon remove the blockade from our ports, and the increase of price will amply reward you tor the loss you may sus tain while you keep your cotton on hand.— 1 trust our people will hold public meetings and petition the Government at Montgom ery to lay an absolute embargo upon cotton permitting not one bag to pass out of the Confederate States while the blockade is maintained. I appeal to our capitalists to go to work vigourously and prepare to man ufacture such articles we most need. I also appeal to our planters to redouble their en ergies for the production of all supplies of provisions necessary to support our people at home and our armies in the Held. The prospect is most flattering for an abundant wheat hayvest, Let each planter so soon as his wheat is cut, break and plant a few acres in an early kind of corn. This would add hundreds of thousands of bushels to tho crop let each also plant a large crop of peas and turnips, and look dilligently to the culture ot everything that wjllsustain tho life of man or beast, that we may be entirely indepen dant of all supplies from abroad. Finally, I appeal to all—ladies and gentlemen—to practice strict economy: dispense with every unnecessary luxury and devote all to our country till the battle is won and our in dependence acknowledged by all the civiliz ed nations of the earth. Wc hope for an earty peace: but, if we are disappointed, God has given us the physical yhr 4tkchhi puiihiSnED EVERY THURSDAY MORNING OFFICE SECOND FLOOR OF FORt, FRfcEMAN & LIAR GROVE’S NEW BLOCK.

I am, very respectfully, your fellow citizen JOSEPH E. BROWN. The River of Tears. BY REV. W. M. BLACKBURN. There is a river—a broad crystal river, A river that flows not over earths soil, It flows through the life of humanity ever, ‘Tis known to the children of sorrow and toil. Il takes not its rise from the springs of the mountain; It gathers no rill from the meadow’s green sod: It is well like the rain, with the clouds for a fountain. Eor the rain is the beautiful rain of God. Its springs were in Eden, first] field of sor row. By drop and by drop has it sweled thro’ the years, A tide runs to day, and a flood runs to mor row Deepen and broaden the River of Tears. On the breast of its tide the dear dead are all sleeping: And the beat of the living heart hastes them away 0 the sighs and the cries by tho river of weeping! On its banks walk the desolate wailing to” day The drops on the brown dusty cheek of the toiler. Which falls as he plows through the wither ing corn The tear of the widdow wrung out by the spoiler, The tear of the maiden forsaken, forlorn; The tears of the poor who must fight with Starvation, Or of comfortless orphans who never may sing— The tears of a patriot, shed for a Nation From whom Freedom’s Eagle hath lifted her wing; The tears of the parting when loving lips quiver, And the gushing of joy when true is the dream; All these find their way to the deep crystal river, They sparkle and mingle upon the broad stream. But brightest of all are the tears that are burning On a wanderer’s cheek as he feels the heart sting; Ihe tears of the prodigal homeward return ing. The gush of the penitent lowliest bend ing Bedewing a pardoning Lords weary feet; The tears of the dying whose soul is ascend ing In rapture of triumph the angels to greet; All these glisten bright in the eye of the Fa- Afirt how they twinYile Uhx-ougU all our dark years. From all the vast climes Jehova will gather These drops to make crystal the river of Teras. Blest tears in Jehova’s remembrance forev er! Each one, withits grief, or its joy, is a word; Weep on! lot thine eyes be a fount to the river, For to it were added the tears of the Lord. From the Norfolk Dag Book, May 30th. Additional Particulars of the En gagement at Sewell’s Point. / Yesterday (Sunday) evening, about four or five o'clock, a small chooner from below,-' I passed up, and when near the Monticello zv she fired a gun which passed over the bat tery. It is not known postively whether she / fired at the shooner or at the battery though it is asserted by some that the schooner was acting in the capacity of a lookout for the steamer, and had sent a boat alongside of her before she fired the gun.— The idea is, that the schooner got as near the fort as possible, and sent a man up on her mast-head to spj’ into the fort, those in side being unconscious of what was going on and deeming her a friend. However, the first gun was taken as a banter, and the bat tery answered it with much spirit and rapid ity as convenience would allow, the second ball, we undestand, taking effect in her rig ging, much of which was cut away. The fi ring continued for some considerable time, by both of the steameis and the battery. The two rifle-cannon, it is said, did the most execution, a shell from one of which it is reported bursted striking the steamer’s rigging, though it is not known whether it proved fatal. The steamer was struck in her hull several times, nearly amidships, and one hole we understand was knocked into her side, large enough for a flour barrel to enter. The steamer’s battery was finally si lenced, and about that time the two little steamers, the Yankee and the Young Ame rica, came up, both of which we understand fired a few balls at the fort. They all three then started off’ down the river, towards Old Point. It is the general impression that the Mon ticello is seriously crippled, from the manner in which she was creened over when sheleft and probably from her having ceasing her fire so quick. The shot and shell from the steamers flew over the battery, many of them striking a mile in the rear. One shell bursted near the battery without injury. A piece of it, weigh ing four or five lbs., we saw last night. The tops of the pine trees in the neighborhood were pretty well cut down by the shot and -hell from the Yankees, and the boughsand aplinters were scattered about with a good deal of activity, though with no bad results, except the scratching of the hand of one the staff officers who was present. It gives us plesure to hear so glowing a re port of the spirit of braverj’ which was . brought out in this engagement. We feel satisfied our cause is in the hands of the right kind of men. During the cannonading, we understand, some of the Infantry sailed out on the beach and discharged their small arms (Minnie rifles, wo presume,) at the Monticello, she being, what was considered at the time within range. It is said that every man en gaged on shore acted the part of a hero ; the only regret being that they were not more thoroughly prepared for the occasion, by having their heavy ordnance in better con dition for the reception of the enemy. The only injury, we understand, with the exception of the staff’ officer, was that re ceived by Mr. Wm. Morris, of the Woodis Rifle corps, who got his ankle bruised by the rebound of one of the big guns. We under stand tho injury is very slight. Not a shot of the enemy struck the works to injure them, most of them passing far over the head. “Nobody hurt” on our side, though wo don’t believe we could say the same thing for the enemy, as the apparent confu sion on board seemed to indicate otherwise. It is thought by some that this attack on our battery is intended as a ruse to draw our
