To the gentleman's request who re

lines occur:
“I am told that St. Valentine:

If you wish to know the author of youf
Vulentine,
Yon cun find her out by this descrip
tive rhyme,
She thinks this the better way ileriolf
to reveal,
And thereby "'save you tlio troublo of
breaking a seal.
Her name is written with letters lour—
And cnii be seen upon her father’s
door.
’ Pis the name of a beautiful (lowering
tree,
And when she spells it, she. begins
with tho letter "E.”
To-morrow she will go upon the streot,
Dressed iii blue from her head to her
feet ;
Her bonnet U trimmed with blue, whito
and red.
And she will wear It upon tho back of
her head.
Her right hand.will be Without u

Nor left.wiU hold n flower, the emblem
of love.
ller coinploxion is fair —her eyes ure
brown,
And if she'moots you, she will look

Ho tresses are ns beautiful as ever were
made— •
All flowing-in curls, when not dressed
in braid';
Her teeth 'are pearly, uiid her nose

guardianship of the State and of the I L“"
Confederacy, hereby . orders all tho
militia officers of tlio Stato (except
tliose already tendered to, and accept
ed by General Beauregard) including
General, Field, 'Stuff mid Company,
Officers, to repnir forthwith, without,
hesitation or delay, to tlio city of Suv-
niinuh, and report to Gen. Beauregard,
to be organized, under 1*is direction,:
into companies, ns hereinafter directed
for duty m the defence of that city, un
til tlieir services cun be dispensed with.
II. Tlio officers of tho thirteen Mili
tary Divisions of the State will bo or
ganized at Savannah into, and will
constitute thirteen! companies, to be
officered as follows : Tiie. Major Gener
al of each Division will net as Captain
of i hr company formed of his Division,
witii bis Brigudier Generals, and so
many of the field, stuff' and company
officers, according to grade and rank,
as may bo requisite, acting as bis lieu
tenants, sergeants njpl corporals, al
lowing four lieutenants, six si-rgonts
and six corporals to a ooinpnny—the
officers faking position according to
tho dates of tlieir commissions in- tlioir
pules, and tiie supernumerary "officers
ailing into the ranks as privates.—
Should a Division be without, a Major
General, ns may be tiie case in two or
three Divisions, tlio senior Brigadier
General of it will act us Captain, and
so on in order of seniority aoeordii.g
to grade.
III. Transportion to Savannah will
bo furnished to tho Militia officers on
reaching tlio lino of uny railroad, on
their exhibiting to tho agents or eon-
ductors’of the trains their commissions;
or if tlieir commissions lie lost, on a
certificate previously drawn out, setting
forth their rank, and tho district, regi
ment, brigade and division to which
they are attached, furnishing also tlieir
names; which information will bo no
ted by the agent or conductor, and
lot-warded to this office fur comptrison
with its records to form a basis of set-
tier croeeUr red in our generation and
never will 'occur again. Show the
spirit and energy of a people worthy to

never to wear the collar of abolition
despotism. Defond your fair and

questions, and wo trust settle them to
tho honor of tho State. But who can

and physically to grasp a weapon and
take a part in tiie argument-. Respond
ut once to the appeal of tlio gallant
Beauregard. Rally to tiie dolunces of
your city before it is too late.
We also find the following in tlio
same paper:
TO THE ISRAELITES Of MACON.
Fellow Citizens f—The appeal of tlio
heroic Beauregard points out too cleur-
ly the duty of every oitizen nble to
bear arms in this crisis o leave a dou.t
upon any candid mind. 1 call upon
you, us you love tlio country of vour
adoption, und uro willing to hurl bnok
in the teetlL of those who make them,
tlio ungenerous aspersions upon tlio
citizens of.the Scuth of ouv race mul
lineage, to join ivith me in securing for
tlio defence, of otlr sister city of Ba-
vunnali a strong and gallant delegation
of tho Israelites of Macon. .Lot us
get her our arms .qpd ammunitions,
propsi-o our nrovislohs, mul report as
tloment by the Quartermaster's Depart- 80 ,?. n n.s j lossihlo lor auty. Let all who
incut. Railroad companies, are* ro
quested to take special notice of this
paragraph; and to protect themselves
Irom imposition, will scrutinise care
fully tlio commissions and certificates
of all claiming to bo Militia officers.
IV. Eaob officer will take with him
to .Suvmituih a blanket, sln-t gun or
rifle, or other serviceable wenpon. But
that there may be no delay for the
want of nn arm. preparations will be
made to supply nil tlint report, with an
etfieicnt.figliting wenpon, with which,
as General Botuiregnru suggest,, ho nan
"Kill enemies or protect Ills fitends.”—
Each rii'ilii, moreover, will thlco with
him provisions enough to feed himself
until ho reaches .Savannah, where, on
reporting, lio will' be subsisted by tlie
Got!federate* authorities.
.V As tlio comp: idea are organized,
muster rolls of them will bo made out
by tile CaptuUis for payment and other
purposes ; i lie officers and men being
paid us Captains, Liiui-oiiuiits,..Sergeants,
Corporals nnd Privates, according to
tiie positions actually held by them in
the companies while in service.
VI. Any Militia Officer not obeying
lids summons,' and reporting imme
diately, us herein ordered, will, if with
in tlieugo I'orcoiiseription, be no longer
exempted, bul will bo reported to tiie
proper officer for enrollment in tlio
Confederate service; and if lie be be
yond tlio conscript ago, lie will be tried
by Court Martini for Uisobedieneo: of
orders. Tlint there may be. no excuse
for disobedience on tiie plea of ignor-
once of the order, newspapers through
out the Slate are requested to give it
immediate publicilv, (each will insert
once and send in bill..) and patriotic
ciiizens.ai-e urged to make it known
thiough tlieir counties:
VII. All abb* bodied citizens, wheth
er suijject lo military duty.or not, uro
earnestly invited Jo volunteer I II the
nmvijany is pussetl, in answer to Gen.
"Hcauieguid-'s eloquent and patriolio ap
peal! All who volunteer will be ex-
peeled to conform for tho time tlieir
services are needed to tho Miles which
govern troops in service, and' to-' such
organizations as the Commanding Gen
eral may find it necessary to order. To
facilitate their journey to .Savannah*
the Raili-oiids-will bu authorized to pass
all volunteers who -present certificates
of Militia officers thnf they are ■ volun
teers oil then way to Savannah. The
uertificato must in ouch cast* give tiie
name of the volunteer, and his place of
residence, nnd must give tire name and
rank of the .officer; with.- tho. county of
his residence, or it will not bo recog
nized when presented for payment.
VIII. If this order is promptly carried
out it is expected that from two to
three -thousand able-bodied, eft’oetivo
men will bo added to the forces at
Savannah, in time to assist in repelling
the assaults of tlio enemy. Tho high
character, intelligence and military
training, of the,persons of whom this
force will bo composed, justifies tho
will go leave their names at my placo
of business forthwith. Tiie occasion
is urgent; tho detention ut Savannah
will probably bo brief. In a few days
the beaten and discomfited enemy will
draw off and abandon the assault upon
our coast as hopeless, or have whelmed
our cities in ruin and desolation, and
planted a permanent army of occupa
tion upon our soil. Awake, then, and
devote a few days to the service of
tho country. You that liavo sub
stitutes in tlie field can now wipe away
the reproach of campaigning nloiie hy
proxy and without material sacrifice
lo yourselves, prove your own disposi
lion to stand by the land of your adop
tion in bet trials an•; dangers-, (beg
yon lo come lot-ward at once, and let
us do our whole duly in this erent

A New Method or Amputation.’—Dr.
Olnissnieiaie, Surgeon to the Hospital
.Liiriboislere, lias published a paper ill
the liiedieril journal on a now method
of ani])ulaliiig limbs without tlio aid »f
the knife. For this purpose he uses
wlmt lie calls a caustic bracelet, consist
ing of. u ring, round which ure placed
litile crystal cues of n rectangular form.
Tiie ring is upplied to tlio exact place
where iho amputation is to tuko place ;
a pledget of lint, impregnated with tv
solution, of, porchlorido of iron nt
thirty-live degrees, is placed above and
under the.i-ing, and the cups are then
charged witii fragments of the Fithos
cans tie. The member lobe amputated
is subjected to a considerable degree of
cotnuression, which removes some
of lira liquids of the body from the
diseased part. As the caustio proceeds
in its notion copious bleeding might
ducur, to remedy which, tlio operator
or his assistants exeicisc a digital pres-
urc nn the principal' artery until the
opt ration is completed. There is con
siderable difference hi the behavior of
a inusrfe separated by the knife dr bv
