Kditor of the Recorder: —In your last
issue I see you published the speech of
Hon. I*. 11. Hill, delivered in this city
before the adjournment of the Legisla
ture. As Mr. Hill in his speech has at
tacked my official conduct, and has
charged that 1 had “no authority of
law” for ihe organization of the twelve
regiments of troops, for which requisi
tion was made upon me by the Secretary
of War in February last, I claim space
enough in your columns to meet the
, charge, and lay before Ihe public the
law under which I acted.
Mr. Hill says: “15ut even with, this
help how did ihe Governor proceed‘J l
have not the proclamation before me, hut
I cannot mistake or forget its character,
lie allotted a portion to each county, and
designated a day when all, 1 believe, of
the militia age, should be called out, and
the offer should be made for volunteers.
If they volunteered, all well; if not, they
were tobe drafted!— conscribed —and this
is the first instance of practical conscrip
tion during this revolution in the Con
federate States, known to tne. The sys
tem proposed by the Governor ill one
feature is similar to the conscription
acts, for those acts give every man an
opportunity to avoid conscription by
volunteering, 15ut iu all other respects,
the conscription acts are far preferable
and more in accordance with the genius
of our institutions. Mr. Davis would
never think of draft or con
scription without legislative authority.
The Governor had no authority ol law
for his order. Nothing was ei-er more
illegal. Again, his draft classified very
arbitrarily, if not worse, and by execu
tive order limited the right of suffrage—
thus making a refusal voluntarily
to respond to an executive call, an oc
cessiou for forcible seizure of the person
—a discriminating seizure of persons,
and an excuse for depriving the person
so seized of the right to vote-all, I re
peat, without legislntire. authority l rider
to these facts, not to make a charge
against the Governor, but to show how
these troops were raised, and how little
of the volunteer spirit was manifested. —
.Other States, 1 am informed, never did
fill Ihe requisition of the President.”
Was there no “legislative ’authority”
which authorized me lo order ;i draft or
detachment from the militia of this State,
to till the requisition, when the State
was actually invaded, and the Secretary
of war had made requisition upon me
for twelve regiments for the service ot
the Confederate States? Let the Statute
Book answer. I quote from section 29
of the act of 1818, Cobb’s New Digest,
718 and 749:
“That his excellency the Governor be
authorized and empowered, on an inva
sion or insurrection, or probable pros
pect thereof, to call forth such a number
of the militia, and from such county or
counties, and such manner, either by
companies or htj drafts, as he may deem
proper.” •' *
“Orders for the militia lo be called
forth as aforesaid, shall be sent lo tlie
commanding officer of the regiment,
brigade or division, with a notification
of the place or places of rendezvous, who
shall immediately lake measures for de
taching the same, with the necessary
number and rank of officers, by regular de
teti/s, drafts, or volunteer enlistments, as
he may be ordered."
Sections 44 and 45, on page tol, are
in the following words: “When any de
tachment of millitia may be required of
this State by tin! el ' authonty, lor
the service of this, or the Un.'! fit * •'Mutes,
(now Confederate States,) it shall be the
duty of the Adjutant General to appor
tion the number required from the sev
eral divisions and brigades; and the
Governor shall give orders to the com
manders of divisions for carrying the
same into effect.”
Section 20: “It shall he the duly of
the Colonel of the regiment or regiments
from which said militia are taken, to
make out an alphabetical list of all the
men so detached, and to transmit the same
to tlie Executive Office within ten days,
and the Governor shall officer the same
out of the line of officers, out of which
such officers are required, within the
regiment or regiments from which said
men are taken. And it shall lie the duty
of the Executive, when a Brigadier’s
command or a Major General’s Is called
out, to appoint a Brigadier or Major
General, out of the Brigadiers or Major
Generals then in command in the State,
to command the same.”
Again, on page 745, is the following
enactment: “And in addition to the
foregoing, all non-commissioned officers
and privates, who may be hereafter
drafted, who shall refuse or neglect to
appear, agreeable to such order as may
be issued with Biicli object, shall in every
respect be considered as deserters, and
fie liable to the rules and articles of war,
in such cases provided ; excepting in the
case of privates, where a good and suffi
cient substitute shall be furnished.”
The express “legislative authority”
above quoted, gives the Governor lull
power, in case of “invasion or insurrec
tion, or probnble prospect thereof,” to
call forth the militia hy details, drafts,
«br volunteer enlistments ; and to order a
detachment of tlie militia from the several
divisions aud brigades, when required of
this State by proper authority, for the
service of the Confederate States.
I trnst your readers will have no diffi
culty in determining how much of jus
tice and truth is contained in the charge
I above quoted from the speech of Mr.
{NO. 167
Hill, when, in connection with tho fore
going “legislative authority,” they take
into consideration the fact, thut, at the
time the requisition was made upon me
for the twelve regiments, not only the
Confederacy, but the State of Georgia,
was actually invaded by ihe enemy
that Ihe requisition was made by the
“proper authority,” the Secretary of War,
by order of the President; and that part
of the troops required were employed,
as soon as organized in the service of
the Confederate States, upon the soil of
this State, to repel the invasion.
Under the requisition, 1 called for the
troops by volunteer enlistment , but or
dered, in tile event enough did not vol
unteer, that such number as might, be
necessary, with the volunteers, to till
ibe requisition, l.c detached or drafted.
For Ibis order, so far as the draft is
concerned, Mr. Hill says 1 had no au
thority of law. His language is, “Mr.
Davis wowld never think of ordering a
draft or conscription without legislative
authority. The Governor had no au
thority of law for this order.” Whether
this charge is true ot- not, 1 leave the
reader, after he has examined the stat
utes to judge. So much for the charge
that 1 had no legislative authority to
order a draft.
TI her charge made in the billow
ing quotation isequally destitute oftrutb.
lie says: “Again, his draft classified
very arbitrarily, if not worse, and by
Brer,itive order limited the right of suffrage.
Thus making a refusal voluntarily to re
spond to an Executive call, an occasion
for forcible seizure of the person—a dis
criminating seizure of the persons, and
an excuse for depriving the person so
seized of the right to vote —a*. I repeat,
without legislative authority.
Now I affirm that the Statute itself ex
pressly denies to the draftee or detached
men the right to vote, and that had l given
them that right by my order, it would
have been "oil without legislative author
ity." Mark the language of the Statute.
Orders for calling forth the militia us
aforesaid, “shall be sent to the command
ing officer of the regiment, brigade or di
vision,” who shall immediately take
measures for detaching the same, with the
necessary number and rani of officers by
regular “details, drafts, or volunteer en
listments, ns lie maybe ordered.”
Again, it is made the duly of the Col
onel of the regiment, or regiments from
which said militia arc taken, to make out
an alphabetical list of “all men so de
tached,” and transmit it to the Execu
tive office within ten days, and the “Gov
ernor shutl officer the same," that is, the
men so detached. How; by permitting
them to vote for officers, and thus make
their own choice? No. The Statute
says he shall officer them “out of the line
of officers out of which such officers are
required, within the regiment or regi
ments from which said men arc taken.”
In other words, he is to select or detach
the necessary officers from those iu com
mand in the regiments from which the
men are taken, and nssigu them to the
comma ml of t he men so detached or draft -
e*l; or if ns much ns a Brigade or Divis
ion is detached, he shall appoint, a Brig
ndier or Major General from those in
command in this Stale, and assign him
to the command. Tin's right, safer only
ns the Generals aro concerned, is now de
nied to the State by act of Congress.
But again, Mr. Hill says, in my order
for Ihe draft 1, classified very arbitra
rily if not worse.” Now, in making the
classification, if I only exercised a dis
cretion given me by the Statute, my con
duct was not arbitrary, but was in con
formity to law. The Statute uses tho
terms “detail,” “draft,” and “detach.”
Each of these words, among other defin
itions given by standard authors, is de
fined as follows: Detail—to detach, as
t roops for a particular service. Draft—
to draw or select, as men from one corps
to complete another; to detach or select,
as men from any company or soci
ety. Detach —to separate men from
their companies or regiments; to draw
from companies or regiments, as a parly
of men, and send them on a particular
service. The Statute, therefore, gave
me the power, by order, to select or sep
arate the number of men required, from
their companies or regiments, without
prescribing how it should be done.
I might have ordered it done hy lot,
ur by classification between certain ages,
or certain heights. The manner of tlie
selection was left entirely to my discre
tion. just ns it is left to the discretion of
a General in command of an army (o
detach men for a particular service in
such mode as he may direct. But so far
from the classification Vicing arbitrary,
I submit K> tlie judgment of the public
whether it was not reasonable aud prop
er, as well as lawful. The order was,
that those he first detached, who, having
been notified of the time and place of
the parade, were absent from it exeept
for providential cause. Second, from
die unmarried men, bachelors, present,
exhausting two-thirds of this clasaße
fore entering upon the third class.
Third, from the married men and widow
ers present.
I have shown that (he Slatute gave
mC full authority, and made it my duty,
' . ordev the draft; that it
if necessary, io ” to the drafted men
ItKQiUHKi. me to den, .\, U - LV officers ;
Ihe prjvilcge of voting for ’ a «atiou
and that it authorized the olossi..,
which 1 ordered in ease a draft became
necessary. Mr. Hill says, “nothing was
ever more illegal. 1 ’
I will not charge Mr. Hill with wilful
misrepresentation. The more charitable
supposition is, that he was ignorant of
the law. But Ido insist, that his posi
tion made it his duty to know the law of
his own State, before he made an asser
tion so reckless and unfounded.
It is virtually .insisted by Mr. IlilHliat
I claim for Georgia the right of conscrip
tion or draft, and it may be said that the
Statute above quoted shows that the
State of Georgia has that right. No one,
so far as I know, ever denied that each
severrign State in the Confederacy pos
sesses this right, lt is only denied that
the States delegated it to the Confedera
cy.
Mr. Mill says he refers to the above
facts to show how little of the volunteer
spirit was manifested” in raising the
regiments. As this was the last call
made upon the Slate for troops, before
the passage of the Conscription Act, it
became important for Mr. Mill, as the
advocate of conscription, to show that it
was not filled by volunteers before he
could establish the necessity for con
scription. This difficulty was seen by
him, and so hard pressed was he to is
cape from it that he was obliged to yield
that supposed stronghold of the con
scriplionists, or to deny lo Ihe March
volunteers all credit for volunteering.
He prefer ed the latter alternative. As
the Executive of the State, 1 protest
against this injustice to her brave volun-
teers.
The requisition was not only filled «i
every county in the state, with, 1 think,
a single exception, by volunteers, but a
: large per cent, upon the quota responded
iu addition to the number called for. If
they volunteered under coercion, with
but little of the “volunteer spirit,” as
charged upon them by Mr. Hill, they
are of course entitled to no credit as vol
unteers. But if this were true, as charg
ed, why did they not stop when they
had filled the requisition ?
They continued to volunteer till they
added largely to the number required,
and I had to send a special request to
the President to accept more than he
called for, which he kindly consented to
do, or \ should have been obliged to or
der part ot them back to their homes.
It also became necessary for Mr. Hill,
before he could establish the necessity
for conscription, to charge that “other
States, he is informed, never did till the
requisition of the President.”
If this charge ugainst “other Slates,”
is as unfounded ns that made by Mr. Hill
against the Executive and volunteers of
his own State, the duty of seeing that
justice is doue to the volunteers of those
States devolves upon others, and not
upon me. Georgia has ugver failed to
fill tvith volunteers every requisition
made upon her, from the commencement
of the government to the present day.—
Nor is the volunteer srißir yet ex
tinct in the State.
The Legislature, at its last session au
thorized me to raise two regim’tsof troops
for State service, without regard to the
conscription acts. 1 issued a call for vol
unteers. The whole number called for
has already responded, with a large ad
ditional number, and 1 am almost daily
having to reject companies of brave vol
unteers, who arc uuxious to serve their
country, if they can be received as vol
unteers, with the right to elect their offi
cers, which the constitution of the Gou
fedcruoy, in connection with tho consti
tution and law of their own State, clear
ly confers upon them. Georgians have
never shown an unwillingness to enter
the service. They have only shown an
aversion to being dragged in as con
scripts, iu violation of their constitution
al lights.
One of flic chief objects of Mr. Hill’s
speech, seems to be lo denounce all who
do not agree with his views, and those
of the Government, upon the conscrip
tion acts, as politicians, and captious
fault finders, while the inference which
he intends the public to draw no doubt
is, that he and those who agree with him
are lar-sceing, disinterested Statesmen,
fur removed i'rotn tho degree of voliti
i ian. This has has been the pharisaic
cry raised by the advocates of usurped
power, against those who contend for
constitutional liberty, in all ages. In
the British Government, in 177 ti, those
self-styled Statesmen, who were vain
glorious of their capacity to make popu
lar harangues in advocacy of the usurpa
tions of ilie ministry, no doubt denounc
ed Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Han
cock, Franklin, Henry, and the other
advocates of Constitutional liberty, as
captious fault-tinders, seeking to “pro
voke the jealousies” and “alarm tftc
fears” of the people. The advocates of
the usurpations of power, which have
produced the present revolution, have for
years denounced Stephens, Toombs,
Hunter, Yancey, Breckinridge, Davis,
Ore, Benjamin and others, who then con
tended for the Constitutional rights of
the South, against, the usurpations of the
Government, as “new lights” seeking to
“provoke jealousies,” and “produce con
tlicts.”
Mr. Hill says, “history will record the
fact, that it, (tlic conscript law,) saved
the Stales, and saved the country.” He
was in the Senate when the law was
passed—placed there by the people of
Georgia, in the dark hour of revolution,
to support such constitutional measures
ns might be necessary to “save the States
and save the country.” lie argues that
there was no constitutional difficulty in
the wiiy of the passage ol the law, that
the necessity for it wns overwhelming,
und that the country must have heen
ruined without its passage. Why thou
did he in so ci itical a moment, refuse to
vote for, and vote against so indispensa
ble a measure ?
But lie says he “did vote for a milder
form of conscription.” lam not advised
what was this “milder form.” Whatev
er it was, however, Congress considered
it. unwise, and refused to adopt it, and iu
lieu tlterool, adoptcdjhe present furm.—
if Mr. Mill's position iu his speech is
correct, that the necessity for tits pass
age of a conscript law was overwhelm
ing, and the salvation of the country de
pended upon its enactment, and there
was no constitutional objection to it in
the form adopted by the majority of Con
gress, why, I repbat, did he vote against
it, Y Was it, from “ambition, interest or
caprice V” Or was it because he pre- ,
ferred to see the States and the couutry
ruined, rather than yield his opinion
about the proper form of the act, itnd
vote for a form of conscription which
did not originate with himself. But he
says “with Ihe lights now before him be
doubts whether the milder form of con
scription for which he voted, would have
been sufficient for the crisis.” When he
got these “new lights,” we are not in
formed.
The first Conscription Act was passed
Kith April, and the second,27th Septem
ber, 1802. Over five months’ experience
should have sufficed to impart the neces
sary light. But it seems, darkness still
prevailed, as the records of Congress, if
1 am not much mistaken, will be searched
in vain, for the name of Mr. Hill, in fa
vor of Ihe second conscription act upon
its passage— -I »UI not udviHed whether
lie then even voted for tho “milder
form.”
Whether the extreme reluctance oi tlie
Senator to place himself upon the record
in favor of tho conscription act,resulted
from the remarkable caution of the
Statesman, or the subtle designs of the
“politician” who was in doubt about
public sentiment, is a question that the
people may be as little embarrassed m
deciding, as tbc Senator in reconciling
