We understand that Governor Brown is send
itt| in atl directions through th© State, for th®
return of all aims which have heretofute be«.n
iaiuei to Volunteer Companies and which have
not been considered proprr for the Confederate
service. Almost every village in Georgia can
respond to this requisition with its hundred of
old muskets, and we doubt not that, upon a care
ful and thorough scrutiny, at least five thousand
oould be mustered in the State. Many perhaps
most of them are of the old flint and steel pat
tern, and we learn that the Governor has arran
ged with Messrs. Hodgkins & Son in Macon for
their rapid conversion to the percussion lock.—
Wtth this change, together with whatever repairs
may be needed, these guns will be as good weap
ons as a soldier has any use for, and thousands
of Georgians will exultingly receive them and
march to avenge the invasion of Virginia.

BICHHOW CORRESPONDENCE.
Richmond, June 15.
The proceedings in our State Convention to
day were of a most interesting and exciting cha
racter. It was ascertained that the traitor Cai
lisle of th® Wheeling District was among tie
Ohio vagabonds who have taken possession of
Romney, with a view to the seizure and occu
pation, by stealthy marches, of the Virginia and
E. T. R. R , by which cur brave Southern war
riors are transported either to Richmond or any
other important point now held by us. Carlis ©
boasted publicly, that, if Gov, Letcher would
dara to arrest him for high treason, (for which
the order was issued last week) he could escape
under the hnbeas corpus act. Well, our criminal
coda in Virginia, never contemplating the ex
istence among her own children of traitors and
rebels, is inadequate to provide she proper pen
alty, unless an overt act can be proved by two
competent witnesses. IJeae® th® fancied secur
ity of this infamous traitor. To-day, a Mr.
Treadway moved in the Convention tbes raising
of a committee of seven to report an ordinance
furtwiih providing legal and proper means for
bringing to condign punishment all the traitor
ous sons who plunge the dagger of Northern fa
naticism in the bosom of their mother. Ibis
Committee will report on Monday, and the means
they will suggest will apply to Gon. Scott, as
well as the traitor for whom it is intended.
A rumor reached here at quo o’clock P. M. to
day, that our force bad evacuated Harper's Fer
ry. It may go to Columbus and lead to misap
prehensions and doubts. It will be officially
corrected to-morrow. My infounation is from
®a official source, Yf© intend to get to Balti
more at once, Yesterday (Friday) 3,000 men
were f-ont over to Winchester to catch the vil
lains who have invaded Romney, and 2,500 to
tbe Point of Rocks three wiles from Frederick
Md. Enough is left at tbs Ferry to successful
ly resist 100,000 men. This is tbs true state Os
things. Oar policy or plan is a rush on Baltr
mora where 120,000 men await up, and then a
flank movement on Washington simultaneously
with an attack on Georgetown Heights from
Manassas Junction, wails Generals Henry A.
Wise and John B. Floyd will take good cars of
Nrth Western Virginia, and open. tbs eyes of
the border counties of Ohio. Rely on this nd
tell our people to ba of good cheer. Vfe will
whip them wherever we meet, and shall not stop
until we receive their submission perhaps ftm.d
thß ruins of what is now Philadelphia.
I met to-day with soma soldiers from York
town. They are enthusiastic la their encomiur/s
on Cwl. Colquitt of your S ate. A finer soUlur
or a truer type of the Southern gentleman, they
say, does not exist. My word for it he will give
a good account of himself and his gallant com
mand.
Gen. Scott is reported to Lave informed the
Cabinet at Washington that he will be in Rich
mond July 15. He may as a prisoner, but never,
never a3 a victor. We feel here so certain of ulti
mate triumph, that many of our companies are
filled up with brave boys not over 15 years old.
Oar victory at Bethel, near Hampton, is greater
than wa had supposed. The enemy reports 1000
killed, wounded or missing. It will bs remem
bered they had 4,000, and 800 in reserve, while
w j had 1,100 altogether, and 300 of them held
back. Hurrah for Souther n soldisis when they
meet Yankee cut-throats.
Richmond is in a rat© of thorough defense and
would repel an a lack of 300,000 men. They
will not trouble us, my wo-d for it, nor wi.l
they ever go fur.her South unless the infernal
regions bear on that point of the compass. Let
you • planters and farmers, therefore remember
that he who feeds an army is as pa?riotio and
useful as be who leads it—garner their crops and
save their cercsls for our brave boys. We must
depend on our own soil for food, as we do upon
our sons for defence.

Proclamation of Gov. Jackson, of Missouri.,.so,ooo
Troops Called oat.
St. Lotus, June 13.—The following Proclama
tion from Governor Jackson, is received to-day.
Jefferson City, Juno 12.
To the People of Missouri :
A series of unprovoked and unparalleled out
rages have been inflicted upon the peace and
dignity of this Commonwealth, and upon tbe
rights and liberties of its people by wicked and
unprincipled men, professing to act under the
authority of the United States Government.
The solemn acts of your Legislature have
been nullified; your volunteer soldiers have
been taken prisoners, your commerce with your
sister States has beeu suspended, your trade
wi fa your own fellow-eiiisens has been and ig
being sut jec;ed to the fcarrassing control of an
armed soldiery; peaceful citizens bav© been im
prisoned without warrant of law, unoffending aad
defenceless men, women and chi drea have been
ruthlessly shot dawn and murdered, aud other
unbearable indignities have been heaped upon
your State and yourselves.
To all ihesa outrages aud indignities you have
submitted with patriotic forbearance, which has
only encouraged the perpetrators of thesegrevi
oua wrongs to attempt btiil more during usur
pations. It has been my earnest endeavor,
under all these embarrassing circumstances, to
maintain the peace of tbs biate, and to avert,
if possible, from our borders the desolating ef
fects of civil war. With that object in view, i
authorized M*j. Gen. Price, several weeks ago,
to arranged with Gtn. Harney c< mmanding the
Federal forces in this State, terms of agreement,
by which the peace of the State might be pre
served. They came, on th© 21st of May, to an
understanding, which was made public.
Th© State auihontiesafiave faithfully labored
to carry out th® terms of the agreement.—
Th® Federal Government on the other hand not
only manifested a strong disapprobation of it,
by th© dismissal of the distinguished officer who,
on ita part, entered into it, butt it at ones be
gan, and has unremittingly carried out, a sys
tern of hostile operations, in utter contempt of
that agreement and in rook less disregard of its
own plighted faith.
Thes© acts hava latterly portended revolu
tion aud civil war so unmistakably that I re
solved to maks on® mar® effort to avert thee®
dangers from you. I therefore solicited an in
, terview with Brig. Gen. Lyons, commanding th®
Federal army in Missouri. It was granted, and
on the iO.h last., waiving all qu®gtioa of person
al official dignity, I went to st. Louis, accom
panied by Maj Gen. Price. IV© had lu inter
view on th© Ilth inat., with Gen. Lyon and F.
P. B!av. Jr., at which I submitted to them this
proposition :
uiiu i would disband tb© Stat© Guard and
break up its oiganizatioa j that I would disarm
ail companies which have been armed by th©
stats; that I would pledg® myself not to at
tempt to organise th© mmda under th© Militia
Bifi | that no arms or muni dons of war should
ha brought into the Scat© j that I wou.d protect
ail citizeus tquaiiy so ail their rights, regardless
of their political opinion ; that I would suppress
all insurrectionary movements within the Stats;
that I W“*uld repel ail attempts to invade it from
whatever quarter and by whomsoever mad®, and
coat I would thus maintain strict neutrality la
th© present unhappy <on test, and pressive th®
peace of he State; and I further proclaimed that
L would, if necessary, invoke the assistance of
the United Stales troops to carry out these
pledges. All this I proposed to do upon te® con
dition that the Fedtral Government would un
der! ak® to disarm tb® Horn© Gaatds, which it
has illegally organised and armed throughout
ihe State, aad ptedge itself act to o.capy with its
troops any localities in the Stat© occupied by
them at this time. Nothing but th© most ear*
nest desire to avert the horrors of civil war from
our Siats could have tempted m® to propos®
these humiliating terms.
They were rejected by the Federal officers.—-
They demanded not only th® discsganization of
th© State militia und th© nullification oi th© mil
tary, but they refused to disarm their own horns
guards, and insisted that the Federd Government
should enjoy unrestricted right to move and sta
tion th® troops throughout th© State whenever
••nd wherever they m-gtit, in th© opinion of its
officers, be necessary, titber for the protection of
loyal citizens of the Federal Government or for
the repelling of invasion; and they plainly an
nounced that it was the intention of th® Admin
istration to take .military occupation, under these
pretext?’, of the whole State, and reduce it,
avowed by General Lyon himself, to the exact
condition of Maryland. The acceptance by me
of these degrading terms would not only have
sullied the honor of Missouri, but would have
aroused the indignation of every br&’i© citizen,
and precipitated iba verv conflict which it has
been my aim to prevent. We refused to accede to
them and the conference was bioktn up.
Feiluw citizens, ail our efforts towaids concil
iation have failed. We eaa hope for nothing
from tbe justice and moderation of the agents of
the Federal Government in this Slate. They
are energetically hastening the execution of their
bloody and revolutionary schemes for the inau
guration of a civil war in your midst; fertile
military occupation of your Slate by armed bands
of lawless invaders, fur tho overthrow of your
State Government, and for the subversion of
those liberties which that Government has always
sought to protect, and they intend to exert
their whole power to subjugate you, if possible,
to the tee military despotism which has usur
ped the powers of the Federal Government.
Now, therefore, I, C. F. Jackson, Governor of
tbe State of Missouri, do in view of the forego
ing facts, and virtue of tL® powers vested in ma
by the Constitution and laws of th® Com
monwealth, issue this uiv proclamation cal ing
the military of the State to tbe number of 50,«
000 into active service for repelling said invasion
and for tbs protection of the lives, liberty and
properly of th© citizens of this State, and I ear
nestly exhort all good citizens of Missouri to
rilly under tbs flag of their State fur the protec
tion of their endangered homes and firesides, and
f.>r the defense of their most haired rights and
dsarest liberties.
la issuing «h-s proclamation I hold it to be my
solemn duty to remind you that Missouri is sill
one of the United States, that the Executive De
partment of th© Sta - © government does not arr =
gate to it.elf the power to disturb that relation;
that power has been wisely vested in the conven
tion, which will at the proper time express your
govere gn will, and that meanwbisit is your du
ty to obey all Constitutional requirements of the
Federal Government; bat it istqually my duty
to advise you chat your first allegiance is due to
your own State, and that you are under no obli
gations whatever to obey the unconstitutional
edicts of tl e mlifary despotism which has en
throned itself at Washington, no? to submit to
the infamous and degrading sway of its wicked
minions in this State. No brave and true heart
-6 i Mi*a >ur ao will obey the one or submit to the
other. Rise, then, and drive out, 'gaominiouely,
®. traders who dared to desecrate the soil
w ..on jour labors have made fruitful, and which
is consecrated by your homes.

This is a question which has engaged tha pro
loundest attention of our statesmen snd finan
ciers. Tnese investigations have resul.ed in an
adm ssiou of the fact, not generally before un-.
derstoud, that the sinews of war, as well as the
elements ot prosperity in peace, at© in tie hands
of cotton planters of the fcouth.
Th® government appeals to them, the eyes and
the hopes of ihe co miry ate now turned to them.
They must furnish the nuans to sustain the
army and carry ihe war to a successful clos\
Ilia then eitarly their right and duty to fake
counsel together—to consider the whole question
in all its practical operations, and determine f r
ibem?eivtß haw they will raise the means, and to
what ex «nL
Wetherelore cordially In vita the cotton planters of
the South—indeed, we uig« our friends in every
Qoucty i. ourown State, as willas the people of
ad the Confederate Ft ties, to send up delegates to
the proposed Convention to be heluin Macon ou
the 4th ay of July next.
Let them send able t.nd good men, and in such
numbers as they may think proper. In ths
appointment of ©©legates no special furiiia!iik-3
need be »fe?erved. \S hat we want is a meeting
of the cotton planters, to consider their own power,
and properly to apply it.
Arrangements are m progress, in addition to
th® regular debates of the Convention, to procure
addresses from th© most eminent craters ©ad
statesmen of th© bouth.
