quarters of the Department, at Hilton Head.
Major Gray proceeded by land, two miles
and a half from Hand Bar Ferry, where the
Jeff Davis got aground.
Gen. Upton had taken command before
Major Gray arrived. Communication by tel
egraph was established with Gen. Wilson at
Macon.
We have received by this arrival Augusta
papers of the 3d, from which extracts arc
given In another colurn.
Macon is full of Confederate soldiers and
offlceis. Only a small force of Union men
i9 there, but with the assistance of the local
authorities it seems amply sufficient for the
maintenance of order. The greatest harmo
ny seems to exi9t.
Confederate money is regarded as worth
less. It cannot be passed at any price. A
good male wa3 sold the other day at auction
for two dollars aud a half in specie.
The inhabitants arc very anxious that
genetal communication should be re-opened
with Havannah aud the North.
Gen. Molineux was on his way up on the
Amazon, and has probably reached Augusta
before this.

How “Bkss" Diyiio —lu describ
ing bow Queen Elizabeth dined, a historian
tel s us that “a gentleuuu entered the room
1 ►earing a rod, and auotbcr with him who
had a tabic-cloth, which, afier they had both
kueeled three times, with the utmost venera
tion, he spread upon the table, nod after
kneeling again they both retired. Then came
two others, one with a salt cellar uud a plate
of bread; when they kneeled as the others
had done aud placed what they had brought
upon the table, they too retired with the
same ceremonies performed by tbe first. At
last came an uuuiArried lady (we are told
she was a Countess,) aud along with a mar
ried one, bearing a tasting-knife; the former
was dressed in white silk, who when she had
prostrated herself three times in the most
graceful manner, approached the table and
rubbed the plates with bread and salt, with as
much awe as if the Queen had been present.
When they had waited there a little while
the yeomen of the guard entered bareheaded,
clothed in scarlet, with a golden rose upon
their backs, bringing in at each turn a course
of twenty-four dishes, served in plate, most
ot it gilt; the dishes were received by a
gentleman iu the same order thev were
brought, aud placed upon the table, while
the lady taster gave to each of the guard a
mouthful to eat of the particular dish he had
brought tor fear of poison. During the time
that the guard (which consisted of the tall
est and stoutest men that could be fouud in
- all England, being carefully selected for this
service; were bringing dinner, twelve trum*
peis and two kettle-drums made the hall ring
lor bull an hour together at the end ot all
this ceremonial, a uumher of uumarried la
dies appeared, who with peculiar solemnity
lifted the meat off the table aud conveyed it
into the Queen's inner and more private
chamber, where, after she had chosen for
herselt, the rest goes to the ladies of the
court. The Queen uines and sups alone
with very few attendants; and it is very sel
dom that anybody, foreign or native, is ad

A PROCLAMATION TO THE OFFICERS AND MEMDER3
OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The magnitude of events that have oc
curred since your late adjournment and are
now transpiring in our public af irs, affect
ing as they do so seriously the safety, secur
ity and welfare of the people of the State,
render it highly proper and expedient that
the General Assembly should be iu session
again at an early day, to consider of the ex
isting state of things, and to provide the best
means which they, in iheir wisdom, may be
able to devise for meeting the exigencies of
the times.
The two most distinguished Generals of
the Confederacy, commanding the armies
upon which we mainly relied lor the defence
and maintenance of o'ur cause, having been
compelled by overwhelming numbers to
capitulate, it now devolves upon staUsmeu
and patriots in the civil departments of Onv
eremnent, to do all in their power to prevent
anarchy, restore and preserve order, and
save what they can of liberty and civiliza
tion..
You are therefore hereby required to con
vene in extraordinary session at the Capi.ol
in Milledgeville, on Monday, the twcuty
seeond day ot this present mouth
Given under my hand aud the Great Seal
at the Capitol ot the State, this third day of
May, 1865. Joseph E. Brown.
Lawlessness Everywhere.
Protect thf. Hospitals. —We learn that
at Covington the Government stores and offi
ces have been sacked by the populace. The
Hospital was stripped of everything. This
is very unfortunate. The hospitals through
out the country should be protected, as a
large number of sick and wounded 3oldiers
are yet to pass through the country on the
way to their homes, and many will perish by
the way, unless they receive the care and at
tention which can lie afforded only by keep
ing the hospitals intact. Citizens should look
after this matter.
Fbom up the Road. —Every depot up the
Georgia Railroad, we arc informed has been
cleared opt. The illegal operations should
be stopped at once. To our friends in the
country we will say, bear with pstlence these
ills, and protect yourselves the best you can
for a few days. A sufficient force has al
ready started for various sections of the State
to protect the peaceably disposed citizens
from outrages. 9

Editorial Comments on the Occupation of

“One of Gen. Upton’s most important du
ties will be the preservation of public order
aifo the protection of the citizens.
Voluntary organizations of citizens can ef
fect a great deal, but there will lie no se

stationed at this poiut. Some parties we
learn are very sensitive with reference* to
this matter, but have no doubt a vast ma
jortty of our citizens would greatly prefer
the arrangement suggested.
Gen. Upton, however, will do that which
he coucetves best for all parties concerned,
and we bespeak iu his behalf a hearty sup

A contrary course will be damaging to

There is a good deal in the Northern pa
pers about the plot to burn Philadelphia, but
the subjoined article seems to contain all the
facts, and pretty much all the speculations.
(From the Philadelphia Age of Tuesday.)
Rtunored Plot to Burn Philadelphia.
Information was received from Washing
ton on Saturday afternoon, setting forth that
there was an organized plot to lay our city
iu ashes, the same as had beer, attempted in
New York. Major Gen. Cadwakler and the
Mayoi were officially notified and toots every
precaution to guard against any such calami
ty. The various government establishments
were placed under double guard, and the
whole police force detailed for duty during
Sunday night. The hotel proprietors were
notified, aud suen measures immediately
adopted that if there had been any such de
signs meditated the incendiaries would have
been most certainly foiled.
The new-s of the alleged plot spread like
wildtire, aud wa9 announced during the af
ternoon from several church pulpits. In one
church in the Eighteenth Ward the an
nouncement caused the greatest consterna
tion. Several females fainted, and the con
gregation were dismissed. By ten o’clock
on riunday evening there' were very few who
had uot heard the news. Still a request was
made by the authorities that no mention of
the affair be made in the public prints. This
ilemaud was complied with, aud yesterday
morning, much to the astonishment of our
citizens, not a Philadelphia paper alluded to
the subject. The news would no doubt have
been excluded even to-day from the Phila
delphia press had not the silence been broken
by the New York dailies, which appeared
yesterday morning in full display, informing
the public ot the whole affair. To is of course
renders it necessary for the city papers of
to-day to state what they have learned iu
regard to the matter.
From what we can gather It seems that
th£ plot was to have been carried out on
Sunday night. As we have stated, every
necessary precaution was taken, although
the autuorities were inclined and still con
sider that there is no foundation whatever
for the report. Still howover, they acted
wisely and timely, making every arrange
ment anu preparation as if they "knew the
thing was actually to occur. One or two
suspicious individual, were arrested,and after
being subjected to a strict examination were
found to be ail right, and consequently al
lowed to depart. From the reports made by
the police and military yesterday morning,
nothing occurred duriug" the night, to verify
the belief that any such organized plot, as
stated, was really in existence. The only
thing ot a really suspicious character, and at
the present time an unexplainable mystery
that occurred, happened at the Schuylkill
Arsenal. Here, as at other government
boiklings, an increased guard was put on
duty, under the command of Captain Mo
rin.
Between 2 and 3 o’clock yesterday morn
ing a suspicious individual was discovered
lurking in the neighborhood ot the building
occupied as the knapsack department. The
fellow was hailed twice by the guard, but re
fused to answer either time. The guard then
fired two shots. The intruder retreated,
jumped a fence and got into a brick yard,
when the discharge of a pistol was heard.—
This, it i3 thought, he fired at the guard.
An attempt to cut off’ liis retreat was un
successful, aud he escaped. Whether his in
tention was to rob the place or to fire it has
not yet been ascertained. The authorities
will still continue to exercise tlia precautions
adopted on Sunday night, and if any suen
diabolical design has been concocted we
feel confident that it will just so surely be
frustrated.
An association has been formed here for
the purpose of erecting in this city a suitable
monument to the memory of the late Presi
dent Lincoln. The following are the officers
-wf-the association : Richard Wallacli, Mayor
of Washington, President; Crosby S. Noyes,
Secretary, and George W. Riggs, Treasurer.
It is proposed to raise for this purpuSe a sum
of at least one hundred thousand dollars by
subscriptions, to limited in amount from one
to ten dollars per individual contributor.—
Such is the general solicitude to contribute
for such a purpose, that it is uot doubted ti e
amount requisite can be promptly raised, and
the monument erected Immediately. Per
eons throughout the country desiring to con
tribute are invited to scnd theircoutrlbutloua
to the treasurer of the association.
SHARP WORK.
La3t week Gen. Patrick, Provost Marshal
General at Richmond, summoned Mr. Smith,
of the Whig, before him, and ordered him at

coat of arms.

No. 53. j
Hereafter, no private buildings, except sufh ns aro
abandoned or coufiscab'e, will Tie used for miNtarvor
Government purposes within this Department. It D
believed that there are, at all the Military Posts, suffi
cient public buildings and abandonetr or confiscable
private ones, to answer all the needs of the service.
The use of buildings owned by loyal persons subjects
the Government to claims for rent, and thus becomes
an unjustifiable source of expense.
Each Post and’ District Comm. nder will forthwith
report to these Headquarters, all buildings used by
hlmseif or the officers of his command, with mil state*
meets of the location and size of sued buildings, the
number of rooms In each and the name ol the owner
or owners, with such information as he can obtain aa
to their residence and loyalty or disloyalty.
