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 edema bl*ak kef of QmBeqk of Minutes ef ***«£*« fewflgW, *1* % ****** nine ladles making the most valuable donations 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. Praying Hie divine protection, lot as bumble ourselves in Hie preeeneo, Implore Hia aid in our straggle, and with a firm raliaaoa ia tho justioo of our oaueo, let us resolve to achieve our independence or euffer extermination In the patriot lo effort. I am, very respectfully. Year fell©w-oit lien, JOSEPH B BROWN.
