[Gen. Murgmi’i Command*
rln other sections of the State,we are glad to see,
the people are responding liberally to the call
made upon theta to aid in mounting and equip*
ping the command of this renowned chief. The
citizens of Macon and Savarmah, as we observe
from the stlbsoriptions published in the papers o
those citi«J, ha’ o met the call in q generous and
patriotic spirit. Tlfe timely and just appeal of
Rev. Mr. P rice, which wo publish to-day, pre
sents to our citizens an opportunity of co-opera*
ting in this great and useful work. Every body
must appreciate the value ot the service to our
causo whWi G o. Morgan is competent to per*
form, if re-established in command of his dashing
trooperj. As i.is field of operations will doubt
less be in tbo rear of Grant's line, the people of
Georgia h ive a direct interest in the matter, and
should urge forward his equipment with all pos
sible dispatch, YVe hope that Columbus will do
her duty.
Something to thinlc About
Do our readers ever think while sitting around
their cosy fires, and lookiag through their glass
windows at the falling rain and sleet, that up
in the bleak latitude of Northern Georgia there
are many hundred of our noble soldiers who
are 'without socks and shoes and blankets ?
Throughout these long, dreary, freezing nights
these brave m p n, barefoot and blanketle33, hud
dled arovnd log fires, stimulated alone by the
hope (of ton a vain one) of keeping soul and
body together until they can striko another
blow for their country’s freedom. Most of these
|jfferer3 are from Texas. Arkansas and Louisi
ana. They are far away from home and the
loved ones who, but for the distress and diffi •»
cullies which teparate them, could minister to
their wants. But these mon are holding the
enemy at bay on the frontier of our State. Thoy
are protecting our homes from invasion and deso
lation. Reader they are protecting you in the
enjoyment of the pleasures of homo and society
When they are gone the torch will be applied to
the dwelling in which you now resido so se
curely, and you and your wife and children will
become wanderers upon the earth. Have you
blankets and will you not send them with all
haste to these men ? Can you shut yoar ears
*o their imp lorations for help ? Think 6f it and
act quickly*
COMIIUNICATKD.
' An Appeal for Morgan's Men.
In compliance with ah order of the General
Commanding the Army of Tenn., a camp of
rendezvous for the men of Gen. John H. Mor
gan’s command, not attached to any other cav
alry organization, has boon established at De
catur, Ga., for the purpose of arming, equip
ping and mounting them. In carrying out this
purpose, a most pressing need of horses, blank
ets, clothing and everything that contributes
to the comfort and efficiency of a trooper is en
countered.
The men Included in the order above alluded
to, consist of a portion of the command—which
from the jttdod '.condition of their horses
or they being on detached service, or from
some other oause, did not accompany Gen,
Morgan on his late expedition into the North.
These men have been dismounted and scattered
through the different regiments of the army of
Tenn. Besides these there were about 300 meu
who eluded the enemy by swimming the Ohio
river and reached our linos in safety. Anothe
but smaller portion of the command, consist* of
men, who, at different times, have effected their
escape from the various prisons of the North—
and made their way back into our lines—usu
ally on foot, r>mi in a very destitute condition.
Theco threo classes constitute a very respec
table naolfu/s for the reorganization of the
command. The government does not furnish
horses to cavalry, and has not been able to sup
ply its soldiers adequately with blankets and
clothing. 1 have accordingly been ordered by
Col. A. R. Johnson, t a commanding officer in
Gen. Morgan’s absence, of ibe comma ad at Don
catur, to travese lha Siacos of Georgia, Alabama
und soliciting contributions of
these indisp* usable articles for the benefit of the
command, O; their pas uchei venae tits, it is need
less'’ to speak, they form a part of the history
of the Confederacy. This much, however, we
may say, confidently, that no command in the
Confederate jorvibc—certainly no cavalry com
mand— has tendorod more efficient service—in
flicted greater loss upon the enemy, or reflected
brighter lustre upon our arms.
Their gallant leader having by his own inge
nuity snd during extricated hiiucelf from the
clutches oftbo batbarous foe, is again in our
midst, and burning, as he doubtless Is, to
avenge the indignities heaped-upon him. What
he has .already done is but an earnest of yet
more brilliant achievements in tbo future. The
lengthened communications of the enemy, as
they penetrate our country, render tbo mode of
warlaro iu which Gau. Morgan has shown him
self so proficient more important than ever. Cut
off as this command is, from their homes in
Kentucky, whence they have heretofore drawn
their supplies of horses and clothing, I appeal
confidently in their behalf to the enlightened
patriotism and UW**lity of the people of ibe
south.
I observe in the papers a proposal of a refugee
residing atoMacon, Ga , who slates that he h&s
lost everything except some servants, and that
be will have to sell one of these to comply with
his proposition if accepted. lie proposes to be
one of ten who will contribute $2,003, to this
cause. Will there not boa response to this lib
eral offer, by some of the wealthy citizens of
Columbus or vicinity ?
By a recent order of the War Department
reducing the number of horses allowed army of
ficers, a number of horses have been ihrown up»
on the market. So that in certain localities,
good horses may be purchased for from five to
six hundred dollar?. Are they not others who
wili contribute this amount, to mount one of
Morgan’s troopers ? Contributions of blankots,
clothing, leather or shoes, are much needed and
will)be gratefully received, but chiefly horses or
money to buy horses. Ihe former articles only
contribute to the comfort of a cavalry soldior,
the last is absolutely indispensable to his effici
ency.
I will remain in Columbas eevcial days, and
will wait upon the citizens as far as I am ab e.
Contributions may be left at this office, or lor
warded to Col. A. R. J hnsen, Decatur Ga.

pKBHOKAii.—We have had the pleasore.of tak
ing by the hand Capt. Robt. N. Howard, of the
2d Ga., who has juat arrived from Longstreet’s
coinmandjn East Tenner .-ee. We are glud to
see our friend in such good health, and to learn
from him that all that Is left of Gen. Benning'e
gallant Georgians are in like condition. Gapt.
Howard says the boys have endured a good deal
in East the way of exposure to the
weather, heavy marching and forced abstinence,
but that their sufferings have neither impaired
their health nor affected their spirits. We learn
from him that the rumor that Henning’s brigade
had been ordered to Georgia for the purpose ot

Address to the Uemoursts of Kentucky.
Th« Peniocrats ot Kentucky, through a
committee appointed lor that purpose, ha-t
issued an .‘lidffs** to iho people aDti Con
gress ot the United States. Tne document
gets forth the wrongs of the citizens of that
State in the deprivation of their civil rights
in the military occupation of the polls and
the exclusion irom the rights of suffrage of
all who were not in the judgment of Lin
coln and Burnside, “loyal” in the arbitrary
arrest of citizens, and in short, in all the
outrages that ever were or ever can be per*
petrated upon a conquered people,
The oppressed and down trodden people
of Kentucky are truly to be pitied. None
but themselves, however, are to blame for
their occupying the degraded position they
now do. They were warned of the evils
(he unmanly neutrality would bring upon
them, and were told time and again of the
bitter fruits of submitting tamely to Lin«
coin’s despotism. Their Tionor and liberties
are now hurried under abolition fanaticism,
and the only way left for Kentucky to re*
gain what she has lost is to appeal to the
sword. The time for her to discuss mat
ters has long since passed Dy.
The Richmond Enquirer appropriately
refers to the address in the following lan
guage:
The record is distressing to every man
who values the freedom of election; but,‘as
the people ot Kentucky brought it upon
themselves, and tamely submit to its con
tinuance, we must say that our pity is
much modi tied, and “serves them right”
rises in spite of all pity and affection for
that people and if in the effort to secure the
former they have lost the latter, and if now
neither property nor liberty is secure; it the
people are now oppressed with more than
Austrian despotism, the same remedies are
theirs which have broken the chains ot the
oppressor, and sets the people free in other
countries.
But as long as the people quietly submit,
the world will not stop to read “addresses”
or to take an account of grievances which,
however, great on paper, dq not rouse the
people to strike for action. Kentucky must
strike for her freedom. All the Jeremiads
that Committees can write will never at
tract one half the attention, or win one
tithe of the respect that the heroic gallantry
of her Breckinridge and other noble sons
has won on the battle Held. It is the sword
and hot the pen; artillery, not “addresses,”
that strikes down the oppressor; and liberty
won upon the battlefield Ji the only free
dom worthy of the “eldest daughter of Vir
ginia.”
The despotism and tyranny of Russia
has nerved the arma of oppressed Poles,
but they have not been satisfied with “ad
dresses”—their ultima ratio is tbo musket,
•the sabre and the cannon. Is liberty, free
dom and the respect of the world of less
value to Kentuckians than property? It so,
“addresses” are useless; silent submission
will leave them undisturbed b) the mortifi
cation of the world’s contempt.
If the grasp of oppression is too firm for
organized resistance, surely the guerrilla
warlaro now made so terrible So Russia by
the Poles can be resorted to by Kentuckians,
The people of Kentucky have allies and
friends ready to aid them, but the people ot
the Confederate States cannot be expected
to fight the battle for Kentucky. The tyr
anny of Lincoln and iiramlette can never
bo overthrown by the pen; the sword must
cut the cords that bind the people. Then
to arms, Kentuckians.
Vftic Yankee Oougiees,
Wo find the following in the Congressional
proceedingsjof the Yankee Congress on the 15:h
uil. Garre! t Davl?, it Will be seen, isiosing con
fidence in Lincoln quite fast:
Mr. Davis) ot Kentucky, called up the reso
lutions in relation to the exchange of prisoners,
arguing vehemently against the policy of refusing
to exchange our suffering white soldiers, the lan
guishing, starving ana diseased white men, be
cause t ,lO iobci • ro:\ise to cx.haug© the negro
captives. Ito denounces at length thip policy of
the Administration upon the coversl points in
which the negro is affected, characterizing its
position as moustreu;. utitl rstcnijig to tho present
ora as the rciga oi Ati-ahum i. He averted that
his own loyalty was uaapotteo; that he hated with
undying vigor the cuaio of secession. It Was
evident that this policy was only a pare of the
design to perpetuate tho party power of the Ad
ministration. Tie closed with an earnest and in
dignant protest against refusing to lib-rate thou
sands of varying and dying white men for the
sake of a tow negroes.
Mr. Johnson deemed it perfectly clear that
humanity, which is the highest policy, demanded
the continuance of the exchange of prisoners.
lie proceed- and to combat tho opinions of the Sen
ator from Kentucky. Mr. Dae is, that those men
should not be protected. He corrected his view?
ol the power of the President by quoting from
the Constitution relative to the executive and
legislative powers.
Mr. Davis replied, saying the preamble of the
Const! u, lion confers no power on the Government.
The Supreme Court had so interpreted it. He
also claimed too ir\ sident had no right !o sus
pend the habeas corpus, which was a legislative,
not exccnt.vc iunctiun. Tho powers to be exer
msej are conferred by the Constitution alone, and
mere are no power, i-, ti, a Government
which are not conferred by t)re Constitution,
hence the f re-ident cannot raise troops or armies
nor has he the power to organize any measure to
put down insurrection without the assent of Con
gress. It was the determination of the party in
power that the war shall continue till the next
President ial election. The war would have been
brought to a close long ago, if the aduiinistraiion
had singly and in good faith devoted itself to the
principles announced in the Oritier.den resolution
at and it the commanders of tbe armios haa not been
selected, not because of lueir hostility to the
re els, but because of their opposition to sla
very.

Aliens.
From presenl indications if the nroposed bill, per
mitting aliens to leave the Confederate States, be
comes a law, i here will be found a large army ofthls
class who have heretofore been considered as true
and loyal citizens of the Confederacy. If reports be
true, quite a number have already taken French leave
and thousands more will iollow out. Perhaps this
is a good thing, as thereby it enables us to see and
know who is for and who is againt us in this strug
gle. It lias become a question of some interest to
know how any one manages to get out of the lines.
They go through Richmond and seemingly without
any difficulty. It has been insinuated that &s money
n.akuj the mare go, so money makes the alien go.—
It would be fine picking for independent scouts.
Increase the Army.
In some quarters, there is a great hue and
Cry TOT &n inwenw vs iho wrmj to in««i aud rp
pel the invading hosts of the enemy next Spring.
It is very easy to clamor for a point, and it is
also very easy for the law-making power to pan
der to it by passing laws placing a mutket in
the hands of every man and child from 16 to 60
years old. All this is very easy, and there are
indications that the present Congress will act
up to it. After Congress shall havo placed the
whole;population under arm?, and made Mr-
Davis Military Dictator, and he shall add one
to two hundred thousand more men to the army,
another question of importance rfrisos.
How shall the army thus increased be provided
with supplies ? If it is found difficult with thu
present white force now remaining at home to
properly care for the wants of tho 'army, s wo
want to know how in ihe name of common sense
men expect to provide for an increased force,
with a decreased producing force ? There may
be some rule by which this thing can be worked
out, but we confess our apprehension is too duil
for its disentanglement. Is it presumed that tbo
removing of any more white men from home wiil
cause the negroes to labor any more indusirious
ly or produce a bushel more of grain, or a pound
more of bacon ? Itthire beany holding such
an opinion, it would be well for them to give it
up at once.
The truth of the whole matter is, that while
we have an artny in the field, we must also keep
a standing army at homo for police purposes.
Already have the rural districts become depopu
lated of whites-to an alarming extent; so much
so that it is almost an impossibility to execute
properly the patrol laws of the State, and if any
further’ demands are made, tho results will be
exceedingly dangerous. If we have to call out
from home a second army, it will t>« fa* )>
to negotiate some terms of a peacoable settlement
so that everything shall not b.e saerified,
But we do not believe either of these aro nec
essary. The army is strong enough, if properly
fed and clothed, which can only be done by put*
ting every negro in city and country in the corn
field, as far as land and working tools can be
had, and send the surplus to the artny in ;ho ca
pacity of laborers, cooks, nurses, teamsters, and
if need bo, form thorn into regular companies,
battalion and regiments, and lot them fight as tho
whites do. Whatsit they are taken prisoners or
stolen trom us ? It is but a negro gone—say
two or ;hree thousand dollars, at best. If we do
not whip tho fight, he will be a lost any how. It
is better, then, that a thousand, or,ten thousand,
negroes should be fust in battle, if thereby wo can
gain the day. thaa that, keeping • them all at
home, wo loose the entire population, which is
certain, if we are unsuccessful. A man’s aogro
is of no more value than his neighbor’s ton or
husband. Why, then, shall the white race alone
sftffer all the hardships and fatality of the war.
If a man’s gold represents him in tnewar, why
not his negro, which can be of rnoro real service?
Our motto is, no more increase, unless it be of
negroes.

Corn tor tho Poor,*
There are quite a numbor of destitute families

consumption, at the present prevailing rates.—
Some two or throe gentlemen have beoa nobly
serving them from their cribs at reduced rates,
but their supplies have.very nearly* given out,
and some other sources must be hunled up to
furnish them. Are there not other liberal hearted
planters in the country who wr![ furnish corn to
the families of soldiers at a nominal price ? Lei
us remember that the noble and brave soldier has
sacrificed everything tor the preservation of our
property, and if we are blest with bounties, it is
in consequence of his preseuco in the field. While
he is fighting our battles, it should be our earn
to see that his wife and little ones want noth
