in Lhc meal tub, he was willing to volun
teer-in such a company, if the proclama
tion wits carried out in good faith, and to
secure this, he moved that a sheet of blank
paper be laid on the Chairman’s stand, and
that all persons over the age of 45 bo re-
4*06ted.to enrol their names to form and
-tender a company under the Governor’s
proclamation.
VJ&oy, John Corn arose and said, in sub
stance, that he did not suspect a cat in the
meal tub ; that,in his judgment the Govern
or and President saw the necessity for the
services of the class of men,called, and
tihat they would,deal in good faith by and
with them, that he differed fro^Col. Jame
son—thought the call made to all—felt that
it was4iddrcssed to himpersonally^rto ev
erybody between 16 and 18, and to every
man from 46 to 100 years of age, capable
of rehderifig one week's service. Col. Jameson
asked.to explain j said he too regarded the
last call to those between 40 and 45; but,-in
as much as they were subject to be placed
Jaf any time in the provisional army v and
ordered any whore, that hb proposed not to
have them mixed up in this company for
the fear they might be the means of sliding
or dragging the whole company into the
regular provisional army— thought he had
how made himself undorstood. Rev. Mr.
Corn now resumed. Thought we should
hold up the hands of our State and National
Executives instead of casting doubts and
suspicious Upon them—stiU urged that the
call was to all—that our county was one
most likely to bp attacked, and therefore
all should volunteer; and moved that a
paper be placed upon the stand, and that
all boys between 16 and 18, and all men
between 40 and 100 years of age in the
county proceed at once to enrol their names
ns volunteers in one large and good com
pany under penalty of being considered
licity, no mass meeting of our citizens oc
curred on the first Tuesday of July last,
hence a pubtie meeting was announced for
the following Friday.- From tho same
cause also this meeting was but sparsely
attended. A meeting, however, was or
ganized, and qn motion of Maj. Jpsiah Car
ter, Judge 0 C. Wyley was.called to the
Chair. . .' .
The chairman explained the object of the
meeting to bo, the adoption of .means to
promptly organizo a company of 44 men,
from this county, in response to the Gov
ernor’s call for 80**0 volunteers from’ the
Str*.»<tff Col. 8. J. Smith then submitted the
following motion : That it oe regarded as
the sense of tiiis meeting, that the militia
officers aided by tho civil officers, proceed
in obedience to the Governor’s proclama
tion, to visit the arms bearing citizens of
the county, and request tItem to volunteer
as members of such company, And that
those who signed the respective rolls of
theso officers, as well also as those who did
not volunteer as members of said company,
be requested by said officers to upile in
iwiligFri-%
county mass meeting op the following
day (17th July,) for the purpose of organ
izing, first the county’s quota of 44 men
called lor by the Governor; ahej second,
that, in the judgment of the meeting, it
became the duty of those who had not vol
unteered to make up the county quota, to
organize at once for home defence against
earK' prospective raids of the enemy. Col.
S. T. Jameson opposed this motion upon
the ground that it imposed unnecessarily,
heavy duties upon the civil--and militia
officers.. To this objection, Col. Smith re-
E
The Chairman arose in his places—fully
endorsed the viewt? presented by Mr. Corn
—urged all to volunteer at once, and in
one. large company—said our county would
be the first ..territory entered by tho raid
into Northeast Georgia ; therefore all loy
al men would join, and join nowin obedi
ence to the Governor’s requisition—let the
44 be swelled to two, nay, - [three times
that number—let it contain all the men
in the county capable ot bearing arms
and doing orie week’s service, Gent loiuen
may suppose they can join at any time, but
they are mistaken—they should join now
and escape the merited charge of disloyal
ty; they would not be taken in the future
when the company was made up. Some
may suppose they can join some other
company, which would do as well, but he
wanted it distinetly understood that this
was the company to be organized in re
sponse to the Governor's call,and that oth
i or companies organized fur home defence,
would be mere do-nothing companies-Bpl
The muster roll was then opened and 56
instei^l'of rapidly enrolled their
names, ap Volunteers in said company.
Col. Jainueson then stated, as arms and
ammunition were indespensablo to tlie effi
ciency Of lhc company and as a requisition
could not be made for them until tho of
ficers were elected, and the company fully
organized, he tberofore moved that we
proceed to the eleetioh of officers. After
considerable di&cussion, andan-abortive
effort to postpone the election until, the
following Friday, the motion for immediate
organization was put and. pronounced
carried. The vote having been confined
lied by reading this injunction of His exclusively to tho members of the company
Ixcelh-nev: the cnniinunrW.in.t'hiar tr»n.» Col. Jameson then proposed thb following
xcellvnoy, the commander-in-chief, to the
militia upon the failure of any county to
meet on the first Tuesday in July, and
added that visitation vvas imposed as a duly
not by the meeting, hut by the Governor,
wliom he believed had not heretofore been
charged with-having imposed extraordina
ry Or onerous duties upon tho militia
officers. Other parties, however, expressed
the opinion that, the call of a mass meeting
on tho following Friday, would be found
all sufficient, and Col.£. withdrew so much
of his motion as made it the duty of the
civil and militia officers to visit the citi
zens. On motion of Mr. H. R. Kirasey,
the simple motion for tlmcall of a mass
meeting for Friday (1.7th July) was sub
mitted and carried.
Tho Chairman then requested the cki
zons piesont to circulate as widoly as possi
ble the call for a muss meeting on Friday
(17th July,) and the fact that the express
object was to raise the county’s quota of
44 volunteers, and thus avoid the humilia
tion of a draftdn the ooiinty.
On motion, the' meeting adjourned to
meet again on the 17th July ensuing.
General publicity having been given
from the pulpit aud othervviso, a consider
able portion of the citizens if-the county
convened at the court housem Iliwassee, to-' l

On motion ot Col. Jameson Judge O. C.

44 men from Towns county.

organized and bfiUots received and counted

of tho- parties designated. Non-commis

Wo have thus, Mr. Editor, given as
briefly and faithfully as possible liter facts
and declarations of the leading men con
nected with this organization, of the quota
called fiir from Towns county, and whilst
we leave the public to draw its conclusions
exclusively from the facts submitted, we,
nevertheless, maintaiiethat neither censure
liiflr odium can properly attach to-the
county or its patriotic citizens, from the
siraplo fact that the company organized
was not reported by the proper officers.
When O. C. Wyley was announced by tho
managers of the election.as duly and legal
ly elected Captain, hebecamo the organ cC :

Ins own declarations and those of the lead-

Who authorized Col. t now corporal) S. Y. ;
Jameson elect to take these papers, to I
Milledgeville and dictate to tho • Governor
the terms on which it should bo accepted. •
Who authorized Corporal Jameson, in the ;
event he found that tho Governor would i
claim tho right to order us, if accepted, out
of Towns county, to suppress or withhold i
from the proper authorities our muster roll?
•If, in accordance with its unrestricted ac
tion, tho company was tendered in good
faith, by yourself or Corp. Jameson, why,
O, why was it not accepted ? If the com
pany, with its_^nrestnet.ed boundary was
not accepted by tho Governor, for whom
it was expressly organized, who, wo repeat,
authorized Corp. Jameson to return by
way of Athens and tender our company to
Professor Moll, commanding what wo, in
our simplicity thought had been very im
properly denounced as the do-nothing com
panies. Was this brilliant millitary pro
gramme adopted in full council by our
chivalrous officers, who considered them
selves personaUy and specially called to tho
great work of special service and local
defence, and whose experience and fiedeli-
ty bad been so fully and generously guar
anteed by Corp. Jameson ? Was the ques
tion of the authority of tho President and
Governor to draft men over 45 fully dis
cussed and settled against them in said
council, and hence discovered that gentle
men over 45 or with gray hairs, had not
sufficient physical abilities to perform mili
tary duty even for one week, although some
of them are known to exhibit the most
marked vigor and physica! agility in a race
for civil office for honor and profit-? Was
it also determined in said sage council of
war that experience was as indesj.ensable
to ihe private soldier as to the officer, and
hence that the good and honor of tho
country demanded that these experienced
gentlemen over 45 should remain at their
peactful homes and that the county’s quota
of 44 ; men should be made up by drafting,
from the bed, the maimed, bait, ileaf, scar
and battle worn soldiers who have been
honorably discharged from service, and'
drag their emaciated forms in which there
but lives and. pulsates a lofty patriotism
not born to die; from the ensanguined bat
tle-fields of the republic, t o die as they sup
posecl, in peace among their admiring, kind,
and yenerouF-couhtrymen at home. -
As citizens, and members of your com
pany/Captain, weresped fully request an
answer to the foregoing interrogatories,
as true.friends of our noble, diseased and
battle-wrecked relurried soldiers whom
your, action has subjected to draft, we de
mand it, and in conclusion, Captain, as
speculative philosophers, we beg to be
informed if, ini your conelaveof experienced
coifoifollbrs, it was fully and definitely as
certained, that patriotism and courage do
certainly ooze out at the exact age of 45.
Believing, Mr. Editor, that the reputa
tion of our county and the cause of truth
and justice demand-that these facts should
be madeknown, we again most respectfully
request this publicuti--i: in the Oalums of
your paper.

say “Never mind, your, honor, I will be

horse needs special care and attention.
His feeding must be as regular as the meas
