Public Meeting in Campbell County* Campbellton, Sept. 3, 1861. A public meeting of the citizens of Camp bell county was held in the Court House on the first Tuesday of this instant. Rev. John A Smith was called to the Chair, and W. J. Camp was requested to act as Secretary.— The meeting being regularly organized, the following preamable and resolutions were ad opted : Whereas, The present condition of our country is such that our government requires soldiers to protect and defend our rights, hon or and independence ; and, whereas, many of our soldiers who have gone and are going, are poor, and have families to support ; also said soldiers need equipments, and some have been equipped for said service by our county, there fore be it Resolved, 1. That we highly approve of the action of our Inferior Court, in levying a tax of one hundred and fifty per cent on our State tax, for the aid and support of our soldiers and their families ; believing it to be about enough to pay three hundred dollars to each company—which has been and will be appro priated—and also to support their fatnilias un til about the first day of January next. Resolved, That we further recommend the Court to issue bonds to the amount of that tax, all of said bonds to draw no interest, ex» cept those for three hundred dollars, said bonds to be issued from one dollar to such oth er amounts as needed by the families and when needed ; each bond to be numbered in the or der issued, with the Clerks official signature and county seal on it. Resolved, 8. That we recommend the Infe rior Court to appoint three suitable men in each District to look after and report the wants of families ; said men to be empower ed by said court, to give an order on the Agent or Clerk of said Court, as the case may be, stating whM amount, and who for, &c., said Agent or Clerk to be empowered by said Court, upon presentation of a majority of said men or committees’ report, to issue scrip or bonds for such amount as reported. Resolved, 4. That we recommend the Court to issue bonds after the present tax is exhaus ted, from time to time,as the necessities of said families demaud; said last mentioned bonds to draw interest from the time issued, to be paid out of next years taxes. Resolved, S. That we recommend said Court to instruct the Tax Collector to take said scrip or bonds in payment of the tax levied for the support of families and soldiers. Resolved, 6. That we approve of the plan adopted by the Court of giving three hundred dollars to each volunteer company and we re quest that the Court give the same to all com panies gone or that may go hereafter ; we re quest that an order be granted for the said Bum for James Beall’s compruy, on the ap— plica*ion of Moses M. Smith, Dabney I*. Jones and William Jackson. Resolved, 7. That, we recommend our mem bers to the Legislature to introduce and sup port a bill legalising the action of all the In terior Courts in the State, iu levying taxes to support the war, and that said bill shall be ! based upon the principles of equality, viz: | That each county in the State shall pay in ; proportion to the property held and owned j in said county. Resolved, 8. That we protest against the s Tax Collectors receiving any commission on I the amount of tax collected for soldiers and ; families aid and support. Resolved, 9. That we believe the citizens who have formed themselves into associations for the aid of soldiers should be released from ! any further obligations to pay and contribute i in that way, as they are taxed in common j with other oitisena; and that such persons > should be reimbursed for provisions and mon- ■ ey furnished soldiers families heretofore. ■Drolvrd, 10. That, in view of the present | SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY necessities of soldiers families that the Infe rior Court meet to-day and appoint the com mittees in each District, for the purpose of giving immediate relief to such families. On motion, the foregoing was unanimously adopted, as a whole, with the request that the Atlanta “ Intelligencer” and “Confederacy” will publish the same. The meeting then adjourned. JOHN A. SMITH, Chairman. W. J. Camp, Secretary. For the Southern Confederacy. James S. George, 4th Sergeant Atlanta Grays. The unnatural and unnecessary war which is entailing sorrow, and suffering, and bereave ment throughout the Southern Confederacy, is marked by many revolting facts. Among these, and by no means the least revolting, is the difference in social position, family influ ence and moral and intellectual worth of those composiqg the two armies arrayed against each other. As a general fact, the Black Re publican army consists of mercenary hirelings, unprincipled blackguards, whose high ambi tion is plunder and the destruction of domes tic happiness, and whose most animating watchword is “Booty and Beauty” In the army of the Confederate States are to be found in large proportion, men of property, educa tion, talent, private worth and commanding influence. Hundreds of these men occupied positions of usefulness and honorable distinc tion. All of them, with but little exception, comparatively, are beloved and cherished at home, as sons, brothers, relatives and friends, of the best families in the land. Among them are no hirelings— not even a drafted soldier an swers to his name when the roll is called.— Prompted by no sordid considerations, and un affected by unworthy motives of any sort, they constitute an army of self-sacrificing and devoted men, presenting a bulwark of defense against the vile invaders of their common country—a noble band of volunteers, whose highest ambition is their country’s indepen dence, and whose most inspiring watchword is “ Liberty or Death.’’ An illustration of the truth of these remarks is to be found in the subject of this article— Serg’t James S. George, who left his native State, Georgia, on the 22d of May, as a mem ber of the Atlanta Grays. Serg’t George was quite young, being only twenty years old on the 22d of December pre ceding the memorable battle in which, as a soldier and a patriot, he offered his life a wil ling sacrifice upon the altar of his country— He had just entered upon the arena of public life as a competitor for distinction in the pro fession of his choice. Having received a re spectable elementary education, he com menced the study of law under Col. Printup, of Rome, and concluded his legal course at the Law School in Athens. During the few months of his residence and practice in the city of Atlanta, he had many valuable friends, and had given flattering indications of his fu ture success. In the bloom of youth, sur rounded by relatives and friends who loved him, the cherished son of an aged father, with talents above the ordinary standard, and pro fessional prospects growing brighter every day, he heard the call of his country for her young men to repair to her borders and repel the invasion of an insolent and disappointed despot. Prompt and cheerful to respond with others like himself of our noble State, he obeyed the call, and was among the first who went forth to meet the .daggers and liabilities of the camp and battle-field on the soil of Vir ginia. At Harper’s Ferry, and Winchester, and Darkesville, he was always at his post; and in the hour of threatened attack, was ever found ready to act his part in the expected struggle. He contributed his full share, brave ly and nobly, in giving enviable distinction to the gallant Bth Georgia Regiment, and side by side with the dauntless Bartow, on the Plains of Manassas, poured out his heart’s blood in defense of his country’s rights. As a mess mate he was beloved by his comrades for his mild, generous and manly bearing. As a pri vate, and afterwards a subaltern, he enjoyed the confidence and respect of his superior offi cers, and the friendship and esteem of his companions in arms. He was one of those who made the almost unparalleled forced march from Winchester to Piedmont—who waded the Shenandoah in the night—who has tened with noble, generous impulses to the scene of strife, and who, weary and faint from hunger and continuous exertion, boldly dash ed into the thickest of the fight, and glorious ly “ illustrated their native State," by a stern, unflinching courage that claimed and received from the magnanimous Beauregard the high compliment—“ 8/A Georgia, I salute you.”— Poor George! he heard not that proud recog nition of his valor and self-devotion, for he lay upon the battle-field, stricken to the earth by the death wounds he bad received. The battle of Manassas Plains will occupy its page in the record of great and triumphant achieve ments, and when the names of its heroes are registered, let not the name of James S. George be forgotten. A. T. HOLMES. — What Mid Campbell has done for the War. Editors Confederacy : I desire to state, thro’ your excellent journal what Campbell hasdone and is doing in support of the cause of South ern liberty. Nobly baa she responded to her country's call, by offering her brave and pa triotic sons as a sacrifice upon the altar of Li berty. Already has she three fine companies upon the battle-fields of Virginia. Four more I have organised, and are now earnestly seek i ing admission in regiments forming. One of ! these, the “Bartow Invincibles,” Capt D. B. i Henry, has been receive! in Col. Thomas’ Re | giment, which will soon rendezvous in Atlan i ta. They bear the honored name of Bartow, i Like him, they go to “illustrate Georgia”— I like him, they will die, if need be, defending I “Dixie.” They are composed of the flower of • the county—of men who are actuated by prin ciple—meu who fully comprehend the impor tance of the issues involved in the present i struggle, and who have resolved, as their I name implies, to be “ invincible.” Upon the 9th inst., the ladies of Cedar Branch presented the company with the finest fl*< we have yet had the honor of seeing. As its sacred folds were unfurled to the breeze, the inscription, “ Bartow Invincibles, to the I rescue,” met their gaze j and as they thought of the fair donors, emotions too deep for utter ance swelled their patriotic hearts, while de picted upon every countenance could be seen the noble resolve to return with it or die de fending it. Campbell has not only furnished and uni formed these seven companies, but in addi tion to this, our Inferior Court has levied a tax of one hundred and fifty per cent, upon the State tax, to support the families of those who go. Under these wise regulations, the man of a family has some assurance that his wife and children will be provided for during his absence ; hence, the alacrity displayed by this class in volunteering. Thus, it will be seen that Campbell has con tributed one-half of her voting population to repel our Northern invaders; and should it become necessary, when these have fallen upon the gory battle fields, her remaining brave and patriotic citizens will hasten to sup ply their places. She will also make corn sufficient over and above her wants to supply those seven com panies with bread during the war. Consider ing these things, we are all proud of Camp bell. W. G. R Cedar Branch, Ga., Sept. 10th, 1861. Letter to Dr. Hoyle, of Decatur. Camp Cobb, near Richmond, 1 September 7, 1861.

Troup Artilllery| ....Athens] The soldiers, generally, are well pleased with all the officers. Strict military discip line is enforced in the camps Cobb’s Legion is, I think, superior to any body of soldiers that has left Georgia, and the Stephens Rifles is about the best company in the Legion.— When marched out to parade, it is the admir ation of all. This company received, to-day, five valuable recruits, namely : Daniel L. Plas ter, Richard M. Head, G. L. Goodwin, James P. Brockmyn, and Joseph S. Langford The companies composing the Legion have ac quired considerable proficiency in drilling, Ac. J. F. Jones, a member of the Gate City Guards, passed through here to day, on his way to Monterey, t> join his companions in arms. A serious accident happened to John 11. King, one of Capt. Glenn's men, yesterday ev ening. In going out to shoot at a target, while climbing a fence, he let fall his rifle, and at tempted to recover it. He unfortunately grasped the piece, with his left hand, imme diately over the muzzle, when it was accident ally discharged, by some means, shattering his hand terribly, and rendering amputation necessary. The operation was skillfully per formed by Surgeon White, and the patient is doing well. In regard to mortality, our Legion appears to be peculiarly blessed. Though there are 150 cases in the sick list department, not a sin gle one has, nor is likely, to result in death. A great many have the measles and other mild diseases, but none are to be considered dan gerous ; and, in case of a near approaching engagement with the enemy, I think two thiftls of those on the sick list would throw off the shackles of disease, and seize, with avidity, the opportunity to strike deep the avenging steel into the hearts of the des picable foe. The Dragoons, of Atlanta, are getting on finely. I visited their camp to day. Wm. D. Wright, one of their members, goes home in a few days. He has chronic rheumatism, is un fit for effective service, and consequently has received an honorable discharge. I have no very important news to write at this time Yours as ever, J. HARDMAN. Our Special Army Correspondence. GENERAL A. 8. JOHNSTON DESIGNATIONS OF BEAUREGARD <fc JOHNSTON’S FORCES PRECEDENCE GEN. A. S. JOHNSTON’S QUALIFICATIONS HOW TO TREAT VOL UNTEERS TREATMENT OF PRISONERS EFFECT ON THE NORTHERN AND NORTH WESTERN MIND THE TAKING OF WASH- INGTON, AC. Army of the Potomac, » Manassas, September 8,1861. f Gen. A. S. Johnston, as you have doubtless already announced, arrived In Richmond two days ago by the overland rout from California. The Richmond Examiner says, the opinion pre vails in military circles that General Johnston should be sent to Missouri, where it is thought his splendid abilities could be turned to the greatest advantage tor the public service. While I do not take issue with the Examiner as to what may or may not be the judgment of mili tary men as to the proper field for this officer, it is but just to say that there is a very general de sire in this quarter, that he should be placed at the head of the Army of the Potomac. The forces now here are divided into two corps , i d'armee. The first corps is commanded by Gen. I Beauregard, and the second by Gen. Joseph E. | Johnston. The latter being the ranking officer I by seniority of appointment, would be entitled, i under the rules of the War Department, to take : supreme command in case of a battle. Before his departure from Winchester, his corps was designated the army of the Shenandoah, and the ' distinction is kept up, I understand, since his ! arrival here, Gen. Beauregard’s division being known as the Army of the Potomac. I have disregarded this distinction in my letters here tofore, having dated such of them as were writ ten here, from the Army of the Potomac. Bonaparte said that one poor General was bet ter than five good ones with a divided and equal command. This saying might have received a most disastrous illustration upon the Plains of Manassas, but for the good sense of the officers in command. During the thickest of the fight, it is said that Gen. Johnston sent word to Beau regard to bring up his reserves. Little Beaury returned word that it was his (B.’s) fight, and for Johnston to bring them up They met and arranged the matter in ten seconds, and General Johnston brought up the reserves. This was creditable to both parties. Had they been dif ferent men, the battle might have been lost up on a point of precedence. Gen Alberts. Johnston, however, is generally conceded to be the finest field officer in the Con federate States, if not on this continent. Gen. Taylor considered him the first man in the army, and it is known that Gen. Scott and the officers of the old army looked upon him as “the coming man” among the younger men in the service.— He is thoroughly posted in the details in every department of the army; and what is of vastly more importance, he knows what to do with volun teers. A short time after leaving West Point, he retired to private life, and did not re-enter the army for several years. In the meantime, lie mingled freely with the people, and now under stands their feelings and dispositions as w ell as any man in or out of the army. This, I fear, is not true of his namesake. A rule may be a very good one when applied to the regular service, into which men enlist for the pay, and yet be very unwise when applied to volunteers, and especially such volunteers as make up the Confederate Army. Indeed, the regulations of the War Office were adopted for the government of regulars—men who were fish ed up from the lowest walks of life, and who fought for money. An attempt to engraft these regulations upon the volunteer system, would not be more unwise than an effort to govern white men by the same rules that our people adopt for the management of their slaves. This distinction between volunteers and regulars is not always fully appreciated by officers in the regular service. Gen. Albert S. Johnston,how ever, is believed to be an exception to this rule; and it is for this reason that many sagacious meu would like to see him placed in command of the chief division of the army. A portion of the Southern press, as you have doubtless observed, has been clamorous ever since the battle of Manassas for greater severity in our treatment of the prisoners now in our possession. They exij«geratc the treatment shown to Confederate soldiers confined at Wash ton and Fort LaFayette, and then call upon Pres ident Davis to mete out the same measure to the Yankees in our hands. An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth, is their doctrine; and very good doctrine it is, if their premises were only right. If the Federal authorities should cause a single one of our men to be executed, I should say, hang up ten of the enemy. But they will not touch a hair of the head of one of them. They dare not do it. Neither our cause nor our Government will lose anything by the course it is pursuing. Two wrongs never make a right. Let us do right our selves, and we may well appeal alike to the judgment of men and heaven. The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the righteour arc bold as a lion. This was shown in the cowardly rout of the enemy at Manassas when no man pursued. We profess to conduct the contest upon the principles of civilized warfare, and not upon a narrow, vindictive and barbarous system. This policy is having a salutary effect upon the Northern mind, even in New England, and es pecially in the North-W est. It is strengthening the hands of our friends beyond the Susquehan nah and Ohio, and adding volume and power to the peace movement. In the North-West the war is becoming un popular. Newspapers, public mettings and po litical conventions do not hesitate to express the growing condemnation by the people of the policy of the administration. Sentiments are daily avowed in Cincinnati and Chicago which, if expressed in Philadelphia and New York, would secure the author a cell in Fort LaFay ette. If the war should continue much longer, the North-West will imitate the South and set up for itself. Cincinnati, in a free State, is soun der to-day than Louisville in a slave State. Our policy in view of these facts, is an obvious one. While we prosecute the war with the ut most vigor, .wc.should be careful to do nothing that would hurt our cause among the civilized nations of the earth, or check the ground-swell that now convulses and distracts the Northern mind. I have met intelligent persons who even doubt the policy of attacking Washington. An aggressive movement on our part just at this time, they seem to apprehend, would have a tendency to re unite the people, and stop the disintegration which has commenced. While this may be at least partially true, the better opinion would appear to be, that the seizure of the Federal City, and the planting of the Stars and Bars upon the dome of the Federal Capitol, would strike terror into the Northern heart, de moralize their public authorities, and bring dis credit upon their Government throughout the world. But in regard to the treatment of our soldiers now in the hands of the enemy, there is reason to believe that there is but little foundadion for the intemperate appeals which appear iu a por tion of the Confederate press. I have myself seen private letters from Washington which con tain assurances that our friends arc receiving as kind treatment as prisoners of war can expect. ‘ This is all we have a right to claim. I find that there is an error in my last letter but one, in regard to the number and locality of the Georgia troops now in Virginia, which I shall endeavor to correct in a few days. The ar rivals from Georgia since I left Richmond, have been greater than I supposed. The papers there say but little of the disposition of newly arrived regiments, otherwise our means of obtaining in formation here from points in the rear are ex ceedingly limited. A. Horwe* for Sale.
