Mu. Editor : —The following com
munication has accidentally fallen into
the hands of your correspondent, and,
although not prepared or intended for
publication, is so full of that setftae
rificing spirit, ardent devotion, and
disenterested patriotism which should
inspire the heart of every one through
out the. length and breadth of'the jQon
federate States of America, that I have
ventured, without the consent of its
author, to ask its insertion in the col
umns of the Georgia Weekly.
Read it, ye Mothers and Fathers !
and let its heroism, true and genuine ,
mitigate the pangs of separation from
sons, impelled by such convictions,
let its determined spirit cheer your
despondent hearts, animate your hopes
and relieve your fears as to the result
of the conflict.
Young men ! ponder well its touch
ing, moving, stirring appeal, let it
awaken your judgment—quicken your
consciences—excite your pride —arouse
your ambition —fire your patriotism —
develop your manliness —and then
responsive to duty—the demands of
justice and all the ennobling incentives
of generous natures, will many move
of you be ready, willing and prepared
as is tliis noble young hero, to go out
iu defence of constitutional liberty,
redressing your country’s wrongs, and
illuminating every page of her history
with records of noble deeds and undy
ing devotion, thereby securing your
selves the approval of conscience—-the
meed of praise—the smiles of beauty
—the love, gratitude and admiration
of this and eorning generations.
Vox Populi.
Gaßuxvru.E, Ga, Junc22, 1861.
Mr Dear Aunt -Accept my
thanks for the note written me this
morning, urging me, on account of my
youth and feebleness, not to join the
‘‘Jackson Blues.” But “the die is
east, the deed is done,” and I am a
“ Jackson Blue,” and the only regret
1 have is that I had not joined sooner.
The lines of the Poet
** Breathes there a man with soul so dead,
TV ho never to himself hath said,
Ybisifl toy own, my native land ?”

me to respond to that country’s call.

No Compact between McClelland and

their passage through the State j but
that Gen. McClelland has entered into
; no agreement with General Buckner,
restraining his Government or him
self in any movement in that section.
