I hare many things I would Uke to say to you, but my strength will not permit, even if It ware necessary for your encouragement—but It is not I find that you are fully np to the music, that you thoroughly comprehend our condition, and are resolved to do your whole duty. I find our people every where are alive to their intereeU and their duty in this crisis. Such a degree of popular enthusiasm was never before seen in this Country. I find my fellow cltixeus a!l along the railroad line, eager to hear the news and to speed our glorious cause with their services. This is the fifth speech which I have made since I left home this evening at six o'clock. In my town yesterday, a meeting was held, a company wus organized, and their services tendered to oar government A flag was made in two hours by our patriotic ladles and presented to the Com pany, and 12^00 was raised to equip the Com* pany and take care of the needy families of Sol diers who may go off to fight for oar Country.

Take care of his femily while he U absent Employ your bands and your substance in doing works of charity in this day of your Country's trial. If any should loll in the battle, remember the orphan and the widow, and take care of them. God will bless you in such noble performances of a patriotic duty. My fellow citizens, I must close these remarks. I am gratified to meet you to-night. I am gratifi ed that Geoigia, and all the South is a unit. I rejoice to be able to tell you the welcome news that Virginia is a unit. Nearly every single member of her Convention will sign her Ordi nance of Secession. And now with my best wishes, I bid you good night. His speech was rapturously applauded throughout; aad aa be retired, three oheere for Stephens were given with a will.

All the departments are appropriated to base usee, nod despoiled of their beeuty by those treeeherous destructive enemies ef our coun try. Their filthy spoliations of the public buildings snd works of art at the Capitol, and their preparations to destroy them, are strong evidence to nay mind that they do not intend to hold or defend tho place; but to abandon it after having despoiled and laid it in ruins— Lot them destroy ii-eavage like—if they wiU« We will rebuild it We will make the struc tures mors glorious.

It was acoompaniad by an appropriate epeeoh from John Dodson, Esq.

The men were then marched down Syca more street to the tune of “ Dixie,” to the depot, where, in the presence of an immensa crowd of darkies, they took their departure. They number just one hundred.

Whibkas, by tbe oppressive and wicked eonduot of tbe Government and people of that part of the lets United States of America known as the anti-slavery Slates, war actually exists between Ibsm aod the people of the Southern States, and whereas, the l’resideot of the United States has issued bis proclama tion, declaring his determination to blockade the ports of ihe Southern Siaiee, and is now oolleotiog federal troops upon Southern soil, for tbo purpose of subjugating and enslaving os; aud whereas, properly belonging !0 ihe citizens of tho Slate of Georgia wherever foued within tbe anti-slavery Sistei, is seized and foroibly taken from its owners; and whereas, all contraois made with ths enemy daring tbe existence of hostilities, ers, by tbe law of na tions, illegal and void, and all remedies for the enforcement of contraets, In our Courta, between citizens of this State and citizens of tbe Slates now making war upon ns, which were made prior to the commencement of hos- tiliiiee, are suspended till the terminntion of the war; and whereas, in the language of the law of nations “the purchase of bills on the enemy’* country or the remission aod depos it of funds there, is a dangerous and illegal act, because it may be cherishing tbe resour ces and relieving the wants of the enemy; and tbe remission of fuods in money or bills lo subjects of the enemy is unlawfuland whereas, sou&d policy, as well as international law, absolutely forbids that any citizeo of this State, shall, under any pretest whatever as sist tbe enemy by remitting, paying or fur nishing any money or other thing of value, during the continuance of hostilities, to the government of our people of the States which have waged and are maintaining a most un natural and wicked war against us; aud whereas, justice requires that all sums due from citizens of this S'ste to individuals in such hostile States who do not uphold and •uslain the savage aud cruel warfare inaugu rated by their government, should be prompt ly paid so soon aa hostilities have ceased, and the independence of the Cenfederate States is recognized by tbe government vf Ihe Lotted States. Therefore, iu view of these considerations, I, Joseph E. Drown, Governor and Comntau- der-in Chief of the army aod navy of the State of Georgia, do issue ibis, my proctama lion, commanding and enjoining upon each citizen or inhabitant of this ate, that heab- §ta ; n absolutely from all violations of the law above recited, and that he do not under any pretext whatever, remit, transfer, or pay to the Government of the United States,or any one •f (he States composing said government, which is kdown as a free soil State, iuclwding among others the States of .Massacbasalts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio; or to any citizen or inhabitant of any such State, any money, bills, drafts, or sny other things of value, either in payment of aey debt due or hereafter ie become due, or for, or on aocount ef, sny other cause whatever, until the ter mination of hostilities. And I hereby invite eech citizen or in habitant of this Stale who is indebted to said government; or either of said States, or any sitizsn or inhabitant thereof, to pay the amount of such indebtedness, whenever due, into the Treasury of Georgia, ia any funds bznkable in Augusta or Savannah, or to de posit ths same subject to the order of tbe Treasurer of ibis State, in any of the solvant Banks of either of said cities, or in any legal ly authorized agency of either of said Banks; aod upon the making of any such deposit at the Treasury, or upon presentation of any •uoh certificate of deposit, theoTreasurer of this 8tste is hereby directed snd required to deliver to suoh person a certificate specify ing the sum so deposited; which I hereby de clare the faith and credit of this State will be pledged to repay to euoh depositor in funds bankable in Augusta and Savannah, with sev- ven per eent. interest from the date of the de posit, eo soon as hostilities shall have eeased, and it shall again be lawful for debtors to pay tbe eeme to creditors in ths hostilo States above mentioned. This will not only afford lo sock of our citizens as owe money to North ern creditors, whioh international law and public policy forbid them at present to pay, n safe investment end the highest securi ty for its return to them at the end of tbe war, but it will enable them, io the mean time, to perform a pat riot io duty, and to aesiat the 8tato, and through her tbe Confederate States, in raising the ftindo necessary to the susosm- ful defense of our homee, our firesides, and eur altars. Aod I do further command and etrioily en join upon all and every chartered Bank in this State, whioh may be ia possession of any note, hill, drift, or other peper binding any citizen of thie State to pay money to any one of eaid hostile Stolen, or auy Inhabitant or corpora tion thereof, or belonging to soy such State or person, lo abstain from protesting any suoh draft, bill, note, or other paper ; Pro*idtd % the person liable oo suoh bill, draft, note, er ether paper, will exhibit to snob Dank or any ef Do age seise, hating tush paper in posses sion, a oerttfltate showing that ho has dspos itsd ths amount duo on such paper, in tbe Treasury of this State, or In an; one ef tbe Banks above mentioned, to ibe credit of tbe Treasurer, or will at the time suoh paper ease duo, make euoh deposit.

In times of such great excitement and war like preparations, let ua not be unmindful of our obligations to tbe God of all our mercies as well ae the God c f battles In tbe Constitution of thie Confederacy, the wise heads and patri ot! i hearts who framed that instrument, were not unmindful of this great principle—remem bering that “righteousness exslteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” When we calmly snd dispassionately look upon tbe scenes that are daily occurring around us—the sound of the mar.ial drum, the glit tering muskets and the tread of the soldiery ee they pass through onr streets, doubtlesz many timid hearts may quake, but let no fearful fora- bodinge of the future nnnerve as for the con flict. JOar came is just—it is the cause of religion, oor home* snd firesides—the protec tion of our mothers, sisters and children. My fellow countrymen, we have struggled for more than twenty years to evade these very difficulties which are now upon us with such fearful consequences— and, as the last effort to secure tranqaility and panes with our Northern brethren, we have withdrawn from them, trust ing that this would turn aaids the evils which we have so much deprecated. Even this Is unavailing, and ibe cry now is—blood f and nothing but l>lo<>d ! If Dotliing else will do them, with firm steps aud brave hearts we will meet them on tbe battle field and struggle for Ihe victory. Ours is thv cause of tbe Bib/r, tbeirs of fuuaticUm. Oura ia tbe cause of rigkt t theirs of wrong end rfivyrer*. We ere for sus taining an inntitution which was created by God himself. They deny this principle snd dsoy the oraolee of Jehovah. With euoh facts as these arrayed before High Heaven, and Submitted “to a candid world,” when the strug gle comes, 1 verily believe th it God the Etern al will be, to our artnfee, a •• pillar of cloud by day, aod of tire by night; while thousands will fail before them, and tens of thousands flee at their pretence.** To a.d in (hie work of redeeming our coun try from Ihe difficulties into which we have fallen, I would suggest to our vsrioueOhristian denominations, over the entire Confederacy, the propriety of assembling together on the Jir*t and laet Sabbath nights in each month during tbe waft, for tho purpoaeof invoking the blessings of Almighty God upon our common country—the protection of our armies fiota sickness and slaughter, and for our final su# ceasful and glorious victory. Lei these meet ings be especially set apart for these purposes alone, where g// tAt jnepb may go hp end wor ship in the beauties ot hdliftest, “For without me ye can do. nothing." Also, let three meet ings bp alternately at the different churches. With ah army in the field, as brave as ever fared tho cannon’a month, aad tha prayers of millions going up to heaven in their behalf, aurrets will perch upon onr banners, and the topmost stone ef the second Tam pie of fdherty will soon go up with “shouts of graee, green unto ft."
