The President predicates tbit call npon Ihe
different nets of Congress for local defense,
and not for general defense. ^No volonlecr,
under the requisition; wilt be^phlled into no
live service, except in case, otjpresf-ing emer
gency, and then only until tlui emergdnpy i*
pwseti. ■ lii case a- raid is pitvde upon ft pftr-
tieul&r point in Ihe State, tbe/rroops nearest
that point and tho-e masc accp.sihle to it will
be eatlcd out, and those more remote will not
bo disturbed, unless the force of ttieenemy
is so strong, as. to render it absolutely neceA;
sary. In no - case is it pxpt^ted to call out
this force to guard bridges, . <*{ other ptib'.ic,
works. longer than theoueniy ip in the vicini
ty, or threatening-an early .Kish upon it.—
The State troops, now in servUe, are regard
ed sufficient for such guard duty.
Tbe Government anpreoiatea. site deceasily
of leaving tbe productive laltor*f the oountrr,
not subject to conscription, as flee as possible,
to make nil the provisions and other supplies,
of clothing, Ac., which can be wale, and it is
joot intended to call this class of laborers-from
their occupviva* at any time for a longer p«
riod than is in dispensable At* drive the enemy

tear lest he'bo marked oe -dlstoyat to the land
of his bin h, and the Goxerainebt that throws
orer him the aegis of its protection.
The object ot mustering this force into the
service ot (lie Confederate Stales.is to havo it in
readiness, that it may be relied upou, and to af
ford to the volunteers the protection, in case, of
capture by the enemy, which is enjoyed by oth
er troop* in the service, including the right to be
exchanged as prisoners of War.
l’ay, rations and transportation, will be allow,
ed to all, when on active duly, but no one wiit
receive any pay or allowance* whitest home,as
each is expected te bo, most of bis lime, attend,
ing to his own business.
The command of the troops now’ required of
this Slate will, under th'e act of Congress, be
long to'tho President and not to me, so toon as
they hsve been organized and mustered into ser
vice. Tbe President, however, having called
upon me to organize the. troops who volunteer,
under the acts of Congress, in this State, has
thought proper to nay, through the Secretary of
War, that he places the execution < f theorganU
zation entirely under my snperrieion and con,
trol. For the purpose of maintaining order and
system in theorganization.’andthad may know
when the lull nuraoer required has been raised,
it becomes necessary that alt companies, bital-
iions and regiments which have lately organized
and tendered to the President or to any Confed
crate officer for local defence in this Stale, as
well as all hereafter to be organized, report to
me.without delay. By virtuedf the authority
vested in me, I therelorejrequireall anchorgani
zations, as well those heretofore formed «s those
hereafter to be formed, to report immediately
to (be Adjatat and Inspector General at thia
place, with their master rolls made out in com,
lormtly to law, accompanied by their election
returns, il they have not already received com
missions. And I request the commandants of
the different military posts in this Stale who
have accepted the tender of volunteers for local
defence lo see that the companies, battalions or
regiments accepted by them comply wilh this
requirement ns soon.as possible. Cordial co
operation and assistance oil the part of all Con
federate officers is essentisl to ar.cecra in the
prompt formation of the organization required
by tho President.
All .militia and civil officers of tiffs Stale are
hereby authorized, and are expected to unite
wilh these organizations for home detenae, and
to be active and energetic in assisting to form
sneh organizations. Furloughs-of six months,
unless sooner revokrd, sre hereby granted to. *11
Militia officers of this Slate, from the time they

this call, which they have shown in response to
every previoug call. As it ia not expected that

Georgians, I appeal to Juur patriotism at d
your pride. Let the people of no ether Slate
excel yon in promptnesj of action, cr in th'
overwhelming numbers tendered, in response
to the President’s call. Your brethren iu the
field have undergone hardship?, and endured
privations to whioh- you have not been' exprs

of their State, when in deadly conflict with
the enemy: The timo has now arrived, when

Afajor—l have the honor to cnolofc- ths ra
ports of the commanders of troopn under-mo
on the 9th instant, in the battle near (his
plaoo, and to submit such remarks as-seem
pertinent lo the occasion.
At daylight the report nf small arma' in tbe
direction of Bevorly's Ford indicated a serious
attack. Knowing the park of 'division artil
lery was without other protection than the
piokets in front, its safely was doubtful. The
Cth Virginia cavalry was on picket S', the
time, and the 7th Virginia cavalry was grand
guard. Going to tho scene of action at the
top of their speed, the tith aad 7th Regiments
•e found rapidly approaching tho position
the enemy, only a few hundred yards be-
JrgjMfeo artillery. Tbo batteries being n@i
th’fready for aotiou nor movement, it was a
matter of the utmost importance to gain time
Mijor Flournoy, in command of the (lib, was
ordered down the Boverloy road, and to its
right, and Lient. Col. Marshall on his left.
Both were directed to attack with vigor what
ever force they encountered.- At the same
tm i, direction a were' sent lo the artillery lo
withdraw as quickly sia proetio able from the
edge'of the woods. Tho oavalry did its work
well, but- with considerable sacrifice. The
artillery took position near the brick church.
Cipt. W. Br. Marlin, A. A. General, having
ordered np the 11th and 12th Rogiments and
35th Battalion of Virginia oavalry, they were
posted in support of the artillery. When tbe
6th and 7lh could no longer withstand the
greatly superior numbers of footmen in tbe
woods, .they retired to the right and left of
the position held by the remainder oi the
brigade. By this time the enemy Ini pene
trated through the woods, showing himsetf iu

ported on the left by ihe 3-5tit 'Battalion-snd-
llth Regiment. Ab the head of Cal Harmau’s
regiment reached the woods, it received a
severe fire and wav immediately charged by
cavalry. The prompt arrival of support soon
turned the. tide of batt’e in onr favcir The
enemy lost here very considerate/' te kilted-
and wounded and heavily in prisoners .
About this time Gen. Hampton took position
on my right, and W. II. F. Dee notified me that
lie was on my left. lie was requested to keep
up connection with me, which wss for some lime
done, our fires making a right angle at the junc
lion. - The enemy now made his appearance in
our rear, at Brandy Station and Miller’s house.
This was ihe force which,early in the day, wai
reported by Capt. Grimtley, through mo, to Oen.
Stuart, as advancing ftom Ketlysville. Two
regimentshaving been called for to meot this
force of the enemy, the 12th regiment and 3>tb
battalion were sent, and the Gth regiment soon
followed in support. Gen. Hampton hiving
withdrawn to tha east aide of the railroad, this
part oi the field was left in my charge with only
a section of artillery and one regiment of caval
ry (ihe ltih) the 7th regiment being well to the
left, more in connection with Ged. Lee than
with myself. My position becoming'' isolated,
and mv force inadequate, I had started, to make
closer connection with Gen. Lee, on my.left,
with the view of extending his line to join our
forces with those near Brandy Station and Mil-
U r’a house. The arliilefy was moved on the
Jefferson road, so as to' secure the height* be
tween Barbour’s and Thompion’js houses.
Orders coming now from Gen. Stuart lo move
all my artillery aud cavalry on Miller's house,
the 11th regiment was at once put in motion and
the artillery recalled to follow.- The 7ih regi
meat was ordered across.the hill to the same
mint, and Gen. Lee notified of the movement.
1 arrived id time te see thefilh and 12 h regiments
and the 35th battalion clearing Aliilcr’s Ini! ol
Gen. Pleasanion'fl divisions ol Federal cavalry.-
This charge was followed up by the 11th regi-
ment under Col. Lomax. In this he captured,
the thud and lasuime, a battery of three pic.-cs,
the Cth regiment and 35th battalion having done
to before him. Fashing his success, he divided
his regiment, sending Capt. McDonald wiih a
squadron after the fugitives chst of the railroad,
while, with-the remainder of his regiment', lie
assailed three regiments ot cavalry awaiting
him near the depot. He routed this'whole force
completely. Having driven them off, he sent,
by order of Gen. Stuart, 200 men to Cui, cncr
Court Home, and went himself with the remain
der of his command tognard against another at
tack from tbe dircc’uonof Stephensborg. The
12th, 6th aad 7th regiments were irom. tbia time
oa, held in reserve, alternately suppartine the
artillery at Miller's bouse, and reinforcing Gen.
Lee on our extreme left.
The serions lighting being over, the brigade
took no farther ac i re part. It -remmod it*

esrncst application to ijilmeu to bo allowed to
take afewbesvy guns, sad station them at a
point whoro the curmy’fl transport (l«et could
be destroyed, offering to works* a private and
R gumer. Holmes’ army was doing nothing—
nevor was doing anything, Imt ilying, rnuairg
and being captured, as at Arkansas Post. Bui
Col; Taylor's application, was refused un (he
ground that tin enemy would land and burn
tho'country. ' (They did not burn 'Mississippi
homes and plantations !) Gen. Prion then
went in pers'ou to second Col. Taylor’* appli
cation. ‘‘ I will go,” said ho, “ and takemiy
division with me; and let tho enemy land if
he dare; I’ll whip him bock into tha rivei.”
But Holmet would not 'allow anythiny of- the
kind to be attempted: ' ^
This is only one out of thousands t'f in
stances where that old imbecile bos thwarted
all tho efforts of tho best, officers and bravest
men in tbe 8oath to aid in Baying the country.
He had at one time 40,000 mflu—earnest, de
termined, undaunted, fighting men, mmy of
whom had run the gauntlet of-death to reach
his army; end that, host was soattcro.i, held In

when Geu. Price reached Arkansas. Now,
when our fate trembles in tbe balanc e, 13.000

neither help Qenoral Kirby Smith opposite

.Now, Mr. Editor, wo all have something at
