TO TUB PEOPLE OOP GEORGIA.
Extctrrnrt Dipaxtm*xt, 1
MilftdgenlU, Mag 17, 1S«!. /
Bytkelr wicked and unprovoked aggression*
upon sur rights, ourNortharn neighbors bar*
drive* bm out of the Union established by eur
faihsrs, and are now waging an unjust and uo
holy war dpoaus, and attempting to overthrow
tbe Government of equality established by us
for eur own protection. They are collecting
a Urge military fore# npon our border*. They
threaten to invade eur territory with large ar-
mie*; to sweep over it with fire and sword; to
incite our slaves to insurrection and murder;
to violate the sanctity of our homes, sod to
ioflict the most cruel and outrageous wrongs
upon our wives nnd daughters. They appeal
to th* very his st passions of the human
heart for the purpose of exciting their soldiers,
and preparing tb*m for the execution of tbeir
diabolical plans of rapine and plunder. They
promise to apportion our lands and divide our
substance among their base mercenaries, ns a
reward for our extermination and butchery.
In some of their largeat cities, “beauty and
booty ” art made the rallying ery to indue#
tko lowest rabble to enlist against us.
| tin aid of the Govern meat of Mr. Ltnoolo,
now a military despotism, disregard*ng all
Constitutional guarantees and rsstrioiiona,
while engaged in a unholy crusade against us,
the people of the North are makiog large eon-
trihutione from their private funds to equip
and support troops in tbs field to fight against
ibo South.
The Government of the Confederate States,
which is the Government of our own choice,
and is entitled to the fullest confidence and
moat cordial support of every true Southern
heart, has called for troops to moot these
Invaders in the field of battle and drive then
back.
Georgians have responded nobly to the cal).
Thousands have already left tbeir homes, tbeir
frieads, tbeir wires, their children, and all
else that was dear to them on earth, and are
now in the field submitting to all tbe pri
vations of loamp lift and (enduring all the
hardships and fatigues of war for the defence
of our glorious common cause. Thousands
more of our fellow citisens must soon follow.
While our gallant soldiers have our warmest
sympathies and our most fervent prayers,
shall they also have eur material aid, and shall
we not see to it that all the eotual wants of
themselves and thtir families are supplied?
Tbs Government of the Confederate States
having been but recently organized, and hav.
ing to encounter an oxpeneive war during the
first months of its existence, cannot be expec
ted to supply promptly all things necessary to
tha comfort of large armies in the field.
The people of Georgia p^y less tax in pro
portion to tbe value of their property than the
people of any other State ia either Confeder
acy. The aggregate valuo of our private prop
erly is nearly eight hundred millions of dol
lars. Wt could contribute ten millions of this
to ths support of our soldiers as a free-will
offering and feel none the poorer.
Let us not then subject ourselves to heavy
taxation, or our posterity to heavy debt, but
let us show to tho world that we are fullv en
listed in the noble cause of freedom, ana that
wo have the ability and will, by private sub"
soription, to clothe and feed our glorious and
gallant troops in the field and their families at
home, while they are defending our wives, our
ehildren, our homes and our altars.
People of Georgia aa your Executive, I ap
peal not to your legislators to tax you, but 1
appeal to your patriotism and your well known
liberality in behalf of the soldier and tho sol
dier's family. The soldiers must have cloth
ing. My appeal is first to ibo ladies, whose
fervent patilotiam, burning zeal, and energet
ic action in our glorious struggle, rekindle in
our minds the memories of the immortal wo
men of the Revolution of 1776, and eonvince
us that while tbeir daughters have improved
upon their intelligence and refinement, and
have more pecuniary ability to act, (bay have
abated nothing of their patriotism and their
devotion to the oause of freedom. 1 know
therefore that my appeal to tbe women of
Georgia will meet a hearty and cordial response.
I request that each lady in Georgia prepare
at as early a day as she conveniently can, inch
ooniribution of soldier’s olothing as she may
desire to make, oat of euoh material and of
such oolor as she may be able to command—
soy kind of home-made cloth will be accepta
ble—and that each one deposit her con
tribution with tbe Clerk of the Superior
Court of the County of her residenoe, who
is requested to act aa agent to receive it,
and lo hasp a book in wbiob be will en
roll the name of each contributor with an
acoount of her contribution. The Captains
and Justice* of th* Peace of each Militia Dis
trict In the 8tet« are respectfully requested to
appoint meetings in tbeir respective Diet riots,
end to bring (hie question before the people,
end to eet as agents for tha ladies of tbair dis
tricts ia forwarding tbeir contributions with*
correct eocount of tbe articles contributed by
each, to the Clerk of tbe Superior Court of tho
County. As the contributions are brought In,
tho Clerk Is requested, at convenient intervals,
to box end ship them at the expense ef the
8iaie, te the Quarter-Master General of this
State at MiUedgaville, placing ia each box a
letter giving the name of tbe county from
which It comes. I cannot doubt that the
Railroad and Express Companies ia the 8lato,
with their eeonetomed liberality, will forward
all auoh packages to the Capital free of charge.
Be aooa aa the donations ia each eouniy
haw* teased to he made. 1 request the Cletk of
the Superior Court to transmit the book con
taining tho nsmea of tho donors, with tho ac
count of tho donation of each, to tbo Execu
tive Office, to be depoetted among tho pertna
loot records ef the fitiia If each lady la ibe
Stale should contribute a single garme*!, the
•apply would be abundant for all eur troop*.
While a tew may not he prepared #o con tribute,
many will doubtless do muoh more thee this.
Te the lady making the most vslueble eee-
tributloa of olothing Wore the first day of
August next, te he judged ef by the Quarter-
IIasset General, l wlH pswesut a Waettfol gel
dea eup, smi will epwae her nstmeta beeswett

next after the on* above mentioned, to he en
rolled, each on a separate loaf, in Hke mea
ner in the order in which tbe honor fta award
ed le cash by tho three oil oars above men
tioned.
My next appeal is to tho gentlemen. I pro
pose that they raise by contribution one mil
lion of dollars immedlatrly, to bo wood by tho
Ntate in equipping and providing for the
wants of the Goorgfe troops.
1 request the J net lees ef th* Inferior Court
of oaoh county, or any two or more of thorn to
act as agents for this purpose, and lo appoint
•uoh persons in the different Militia Districts
as they rosy think proper to assist them. I
suggest that books of subscription bo opened
in oaoh county on tho first Tuesday in June
next, ur so soon thereafter as may be conve
nient, and that publie meetings be held in
eaob county for tbo purpose of disoussing tho
question and soliciting subscriptions.
I have requested our able end fhltbfol
Comptroller General to make out from tbe tax
books and publish a statement of the amoaat
which would be the just proportion of oaoh
county, should oaeb deitrmio# to ooatributo
it* part of tbe one million dollars proposed te
be raised. Tbe Treasurer of tHs State, on
being informed by the Justices of the Inferior
Court of the amount of the donation of the
country, will direet tbe manner of its inns*
mission to tbo troaiury, and will receipt for
tho amount. Tha Justioes in oaoh county are
respectfully requeued, so soon as tha books of
contribution ere elosed, to transmit them to
tbe Executive Office that they may be pre
served among the permanent records of the
State.
As tbe Executive of the 8tale, I will present
a beautiful flag of tbe Confederate Slate# to
the County makiog the largeat donation in
proportion to the value of its taxable proper
ty-
To the gentleman makiog tbe largest dona
tion before the first day of August next, I will
present e golden medal with appropriate in
scriptions, and will enroll his name with a
statement of tbe cause of its enrollment upon
a blank leaf in the Book of Executive Minutes.
I will also enroll in like manner the names of
tbe nine gentlemen makiog the next largest
donations in the order in which they are en
titled by the amount of tbeir contribution*.
Another suggestion, and I hava done. Our
enemiei are blockading our ports nnd outtirg
off our supplies from abroad. A kiod Provi
dence has bleeeed us with tbe means of mak
ing within our own limits almost everything
necessary to our support and comfort, and
with a monopoly of the great staple wbioh the
world cannot do without. It is said oar ene
mies exempt Cotton from blockade. Why ?—
Because they cannot do without it. I appeal
to our planters, therefore, to refuse to ship a
big while the blockade lasts. This will soon
remove (be blockade from our ports, and the
increase of pnoe will amply reward you for
the loss you mty sustain while you keep your
Cotton on hand. 1 trust our people will hold
publio (nestings and petition tha Government
at Montgomery to lav an absolute embargo
upon Cotton, permitting not one hag to pass
out of the Confederate States while the block
ade is msintsined. I appeal to our oapitelista
to go to work vigorously and prepare to man
ufacture such articles as we most need. I al
so appeal to our planters to redouble tbeir en
ergies for tbe production of all the supplies of
provision! necessary to support our people at
home and onr armies in the field. The pros-
peot ia most flattering for an abundant wheat
harvest. Let each planter ao soon aa his
wheat is out, break and plant a few aeree of
hia beat wheat land in an early kind of corn.
This would add hundreds of thousands of
bushels to tho orop; let oaoh also plant a largo
crop of peas and turnips, and look diligently
is culture of everything that will sustain
the life of man or boast, that wa may bo en
tirely independent of all supplies from abroad.
Finally, I appeal to all—ladies and gentleman
—to practice strict economy ; dispense with
every unnecessary luxury sod devote all to
our country till the battle is won and onr in
dependence acknowledged by nil the civilised
nstiona of the earth.
W# hope for an early poses; but, if we am
disappointed, God has given ue the phyeteal
strength, national roeouroae, and the meaoe of
■upport, wbioh will, with proper energy, eoa«
ble ue to live and to defend ourselves npon
our own soil forth* next twenty years to come.
