ADDRESS TO THE PFOPI.E OF
GEORGIA.
Messrs. Cnbb, Toombs and other mem
bers of the Provisional Government
from Georgia have issued an aduiess
to the people of the State intended, no
, doubt to rally the spirit ol the State
but which must have a depressing cl*,
feet, wherever their influence extends.
The tone of the whole article runs ap
parently upon the forgone conclusion
tbit we’havc nothing to animate us 1 ut
dcspair— nothing- to hope, but from des
peration.
The Cicular will be found in another
col uni,

less and the press is I rgmn.:. t • cry
“Up and at them.” Whetl; -r an offen
sive wir at the outset would have been
best for us or not it is useless to dis
cuss. There can be no doubt that a
defensive war is best for us now. at
least while the winter las!s. The South
would be as hopel ;sly do-cab d by
Northern invasion at this.season as Na
poleon was in Russia.
The Yankees have availed themselves
of our mild winter season to invade the
South. Let us stand on the defensive
and the approaching seasons will drive
them back to their colder clime. 7/z-a
the Southern armies may follow tin-m
without undergoing hardships worse
than battle.
■We have not lost faith in the wisdom
of the Confederate Administration. On
.ho- contrary- WO -think Tin wwnrrrmctit
ever presented stronger claims upon
the gratitude of its people cither in
what it done or left undone.

our currency may greatly, depreciate
the government will incur a heavy debt
and taxes will be more, burdemiome
fhanvi our previous history ; But, the
South will haw saved j more than tin:
war will cost. Assuming the point
that our productions during the war
will not [tall short, in value, of previ
ous average, we would be ready to re
new now or twelve months lu-iu-.; a
prosperous commercial business on the
B-mnd'basis ofjl these producti-.ns. In
the meantime while we arc spending
millions to carry on the war it is be
yond question that we are saving mill
ions by the very privations which the
war involves We may regret the sub
stitutes for coffee, and the absence- of
heavy stocks of Dry Goods —but the
South is saving the money, and Norths
ern shipping and manufactures arc the
real sufferers.
This buoyant, condition ol the South
is even now apparent. The limited
operations in all branches of mercantile
business is not owing to (he absen e of
demand, but to the difficulty of procur
ing supplies. There is now sufficient
demand and means to back it to aliogd
the most flourishing business even done
in the South.
At present our M relmuts arc com
pulled to procure stocks under great
disadvantages. Domestic ; with a limi
ted supply have greatly advanced in
price and foreign supplies are ncccs
sarily in the same condition. Still,
with advanced prices, the demand ex
ceeds the Hiipplv.
The largest business is done in heavy
groceries owing to the large supplies
furnished by the South —but in all
• branches unexampled prosperity will
prevail with the return of ample sup*
plies and low prices. Our biu,iii<;
men may be putting their houses in or
der. The war must come to a close
and when it does the Southern people
j., will require the utmost stretch of mer*
Tcuntilc enterprise.

IO THE PJ-lOBtB OF GEORGSA,
Fellow Citizex’S :-In a few days the
Provisional Government of the Confed
erate States will live only in history.—
With it, we shall deliver up the trust
we have endeavored to use for your
Lem-fit, to those morb directly selected
by yourselves. The public record of
oiiracts is familiar io you, and requires
no further explanation at our hands.—
Os those mattersSvliieh policy has re
quired so lie secret, it would be impro
per now to speak. I his address, there-•
lore, will have no persona! reference.
Wo are well assured that there ex
ists no necessity for us to arouse your
patriotism, nor to inspire your confi
dence. We rejoice with you in the una
nimity of our State -in its resolution
and its hopes. Ai dwe are proud with
you that Georgia ’mis been “illustrated,’’
and we doubt not will be illustrated
again by her sons in our holy struggle.
The first campaign is over—each party
rests in [dace-- while the winter’s snow
declares an armistice fr -m on high.—
The results in the fields are familiar to
von, and we will not recount them.
To some important, facts we call your
at t ent ion .
First. The moderation of our own
g’overnmen ami the fanatical madness
of our enemies have di-parsed al! differ
ences of opinion among our people, and
united them for ever in the war of In
dependence. In a few nordcr stat -s a
waning opposition is giving way be
fore the stern logic of daily developing
facts. The world’s history does not
give a parallel instanceol a Revolutian
based upon stich rmauimity among the
people.
Second. Our • homy has exhibited
an e'nergv, a perseverance, ami an
amount ol resources which v.u Lad har
dly expected, aiid a disreg it'd of Con—
st'itnti ui an ' Laws which we can h'tir
dly credit The result of both, howev -
er, is that power, which is he cl arm--,
teristic element of despotism, and ren
ders it as formidable to its enemies as
it is d'-struetive to its subjects.
Third. An’immense army has been or
ganized for our destruction, winch is
being disc.ipih.ed to the e.iitlimki.ig-sto
lidity of regulars. M till ike cneinsive
possession of the seas—our enemy is
enabled to throw upon the shores of
every State (lie nucleus of m army.—
Ami the thraet is made a,nd donbthms
the attempt will follow in early -priii ■■
to crush u ; with a giant's .grasp by a
siinultam ous 'novi n mt al<mg our en
tire Lord- r.s
Fourth. With wb:iicvei alacrity our
people may rush to arms ami with what
ever energy our Government may use
its resources, wo cannot <xpect t.> cope
with our enemy either in nn -C
--equipments or munitions or war. To
provide against those odds, we must
took to desperate cotjr.-.ge, unflinching
daring, and uvit-ers: 1 s-ls sacrifice.
Fifth. i’lie prospect ol I'ure'gii in -
terferrenee is, at least, a remote one,
and should not be relied, on. If it come •-
let it be only auxilary to our own pre
parations for freedom. To our God and
ourselves alone we should look.
These are stern facts—perhaps some
«>f them are unpalatable. But we are
deceived in you would have us to con
ceal them in order to deceive you. —-
The < lily question for us ami for you
is: As a mat on and individual! y,what
have we to do? We answer:
First —As a nation, we should be un
ited, forbearing to one another frowning
up- n all factions opposition and cen
sorious criticisms, and giving a truthful
ami generous’ confidence :o those selec
ted as our leaders in the camp and tl*e
Council-Chamber,
Second—We should excite every
nerve and strain ever muscle of the
body politic, to maintain our financial
and military hcalthfuln -ss, and by rap
id aggressive action make our enemies
feel, at their own firesides, the horrors
of a war brought on by themselves.
The more impoi tant mat;er for you,
however, is your individual duty.—
What can you do?
The foot of the oppressor is on the
sod of Georgia He comes with lust
in Lis eye, poverty in his purse,ami hell
in his heart. He C'-mes a robber and a
murderer. How shall you meet him?—
With the sword at the thresh' Id
With death for him or for yourself.
But more than th s—let every woman
have a torch,•every child a (ire brami.
I.i-t Ihe loved homes of our youth be
made a- lies, ami the fields of our heri
tage be made desol tie. Lot blackness
and ruin mark y.mr departing steda, if
depart yon must, am! let a d••serf, inure
terrible Ilian Sahara w leoine the Van
dais. lel every city be lev illcd by
the flame, and every village be lost in
ashes. Let your faithful slaves slgue
your fortune and your crust. Trust
wife ami children to the' sure refuge
ami protection of God in-eteErftib
even for these loved ones thc jefliffm'l
liousc as a home, than io.'thsomTp’Vas
d:tge to a nation already sunk below
t ie contempt of the civilized world.
I'his may your terrible choice, ami de
termine at once and without dissent,,
a-i honor and patriotism, and duty to
God require.
Fellow (Jitizbm-i : —Lull .1 yourselves
into a fatal s<icnrity. ! prepared ibr
every contingency. This is our only
hope for a sure and honorable peace.—
If our enemy was to day convinced
that the feast herein indicated would
welcome him in every quarter of this
Cuulctlci UUJ -\V< I. I. .XV lit c-Imiiu..
ter well enough to feel assured he would
never come. Let, then, the smoke of
your homes, fired by woman’s hands,
tell the ajtproacliing- foe, that over
sword and bayonet they will rusji only
to fire and ruin.
"Wo have faith in God and faith in
vou. He is blind to every indication of
Providence, who lias not seen ami Al
mi ,'liiy hand controlling inc events of
the past year The wind ; the wave ;
tin* cloud : Ihe mist j the sunshine and
the storm have all ministered tp .our
necessities, and frequently succord us
in oiii distresses. \\ e deem it unnec
essary to recount the. numerous instan
ces which have called firth our grati
tude. We would join you in thanks*
giving ai.d praise. “If God be lor us,
who can be against, us?”
Nor would we condemn your confident
look to our armies, when they can meet
will; a. foe not too greatly their superior
in numbers. The year past tells a sto
ry of heroism and success, of which our
nation will never be ashamed. 1 hese
considerations, however, should only
stimulate us to greater deeds and no*
bier efforts. An occasional reverse wo
must expect ; such as hasdepre ■■■' >1 us
within Ike last, few days. This is only
temporary.
We have no fear.-; o[ the result ; the
final issue. You and we may have to
Sacrifice our lives ami fortunes :n the
holy cause ; but our Loner -.-ill be
saved miiarnished, ami cur ctrddrcn’s
children will rise up.to call us ‘blessed.’

We hope, therefore, that General M

that the President and Cabinet will

‘-'i'fic Crisis at Hand,”
i rider this head one of our contem.-
jmrarii s says that the pinch of the
struggle is just no<w comin...-- in Ken*
tucky and on the co nst -and it the Hes
sian armies are defeated, the war is at
an end. This is true ; but it imiy tilso
be truly said that every--m imtntofwar
i- a erinir, since, however slowly, th
-of success or rlisast'-r arc de
veloping. Thus the failure to ’properly
obstruct the inside approaches to Sa
vannah river, though it might have oc
curred in midsummer, was a ‘‘crisis,”
tin.ugh nobody know it, which will
give a great deal of trouble. The war
itself may be determined l»y a colloca
tion of little events, just as it was oc
casioned. Few .supposed the split in
the Democratic party of G'harleston,
was going Io be the occasion (not the
cause) of a civil war ; but it was.—
w.. i,. ~,i ~r ... nn
the “Macon'Alarm' C’oimrifttce” who
were badly hooted at lor the apprehen

that; split might grow It was a big
crisis--but not fully appreciated at the

Beauties of the Stay Law.— A writer
in the Raleigh Standard gives the fol
lowing instances of the working of the
Stay Law :
“Only yesterday, a man refused to
puy his hotel bill upon the ground that
(he collection of it could not be forced
by law, whereupon the creditor felled
the party to the ground with his fist,
and forced him by personal violence to
pay the debt. This affair gives rise to
a criminal prosecution some, day, and
possibly to a civil suit for damages.—
Last weik one party went and forcibly
ejected a man and his family from a
house and premises, the possession of
which was unjustly detained and re*
fused upon the ground that the remedy
was distant r l his gives rise to three
or four’suits. In an adjoining county the
most violent outrages have been com*
mitted upon a public officer for simply
doing his duty under the act. These
offences are not isolated and few in
number—they are frequent, and give
cause for serious alarm to every good
citizen. And the fear is too well foun
ded that this act gives such unrestrained
license to offenders against criminal and I
civil justice, that in the end it will bo
extremely difficult to restore order, har
mony, and a due observance of the law.”
Hoggish.—The Shelby (Cleveland
County) .’.onutain Eagle, of the 23d
inst., says :
“A drove of hogs from Tennessee,
numbering nearly four hundred, passed
through our town last week for some
point South. The Owner said he be
lieved he would take fourteen cents lot
two lame hogs, but did not wish to sell
under 16 or 17 cents—rather tall pork
in' ihe hair.”
That man ought to be turned into a
swine, and the devil ought to be turned
into that, and the whole arrangement
ought to be ’.urned info the sea. Where
does that man expect to go when be
dies ? mlngtoit Journal.
Good- but if all the soulless extor
tioners who are now preying upon the
South were put in the same herd,.there
would be a sensible dirnunitiou of our
population. --Savannah Neir-s
Backing Down.—A correspondent of
(lie .Now York Herald states that there
is an ardent disposition on the part of
the govci nment io conduct the war as
vi. orously.-is possible, yet on as hu
mane prim ipies as is consistent with
-.he grea- object in view—the restora
tion of the Union. At a recent Cabinet
meeting on" of the in discuss
ing tin pi-.'\ item - qm-stion, isjlundcr
sto >d to have remar :cd in substam-c :
e are str ring to rest--re the Fiii-.m
and preserve the Constitution. We all
trust to see the Cnionj once more res
tored ; but in order to succeed in achiev
ing his great result, we must leave no
festering wound behind to rankle and
corrode for generations to come. No
such wound lias Act’been inflicted on
either side ; but the hanging of prison
ers will inflict such a wound.’’ This
remark and the arguments and illustra
tions by which it was accompanied, is
said to have produced a powi rful ef
fect on the minds of the other members
T.ie President himself is 'understood to
be in favor of placing the privateers*
men in the same category as other pris
oners of war.
'File Burnside Expedition,
I om-mss Monroe, Jan. 28.—8 y the*
a rri val of the •steamer Eastern States
we have the most direct ami official
intelligence of arrival of the Burnside
expedition at its des. ina; ion. ihe
Eastern State left Ilatieras Inlet last
night, and arrived here late this even
ing-.
'1 he recent storms were umiwilly se
vere at Hatteras, uiid consequently de
layed and crippled the cxped ; ion; but
when the Fastrnn State left,everything
looked favorable.
The expedition sailed from Hampton
Roads on the 11th and 12th instants,
and consisted of one hundred ami twen
-Iy-i;vc vessels of all classes. They ar
rived at Ilatteras between the 16th and
17th, having been greatly r< tarded by
ko'-cri’ storms and adverse- winds,
which' pi■evniled about, that time, .fl
ter th.-ir arrival, they expcrieiic-ed a se
ne; ol storms ol such iinparellclr-d se
verity ’.ha; for two days in succession,
on more than one occasion, it was im
poss u > le to hold comm mi ica t ion between
any two x'essels of the fleet.
Alter the first storm it wa:; discov
ered that, instead of vessels drawing
eight ami a half feet being able to go
over the swash, or bars, as Gen, Burn
side had been informed,.no vessel draw
ing over seven and a'quartcr fee: coni '
pass in Pamlico Sound. No vessel
either, could pass the sidebar drawing
over thirteen feel, unless skilfully pilot
led; coiiseqiii utiy the .steamer C’iiy of
New A’ork struck on the bar, loaded
will: a cargo valued al $200,000, and
e.m J ding of powder rifles, ami bombs,
ami proved a total loss. The ( 'iptain
and crew, after bravely remaining w in
the rigging- for forty hours, were sav< il.
The gunboat Zouave draggi <1 her I
anchors, stove a holo in her bottom, I
and sunk, proving a total loss. Her
crew were sa veil.
The stoanu r Pocahontas went ashore
near (he light house, ami became a to
tal wreck. Ninety valuable horses be
Imging to the I’hode Islam! battery,
were cn board, and were all drowned,
including- several valued at live hun
dred dollars each.
Ci-n.)>-sh>l purled her li:nvsi-r. by
which she was towed, and went down
at sea. Iler crew were saved.
An unknown schooner laden with
oats and another schooner, also un -
known, were all lost on the beach. Six
of the crew ol' the latter perished.
The steamer Louisiana sTuck on the
bar, where she still remains. The re
port of her having been burned is in
incorrect. She may be got off.
The Eastern Queen and also the
Voltigeur are ashore. The latter will
probably be got off.
'I he water vessels had not reached
their destination when the Eastern
State left, and had it not'bcen for the
condensers on board of some of the
vessels and on shore, terrible suffering
would have occured. As it was, the
xtater casks were old whiskey, cam
pliine, and kerosene oil casks. It is
ihought that the Union pilots of Hat
teras have proved themselves traitors,
having intentionally run several ves
sels ashore.
One of the storms can only be described
as terrific. The waters in every direc
tion were covere 1 with foam, the
waves dashing with a clear sweep
ac o s the Hatteras shore, anccimpletc
ly cutting off the Post from all outside
communication. The current was rush
ing at the rate of five miles per hour
ami the chop seas prevented GeM, Burn
side from answeiing any of the sig
nals, of di tre s >r communication with
his Gem rids. At on time flags would
appear Union down on a number of
vessels, indicating a want of -Avater,
coal or provisions.

regiment, ami Surgeon F. S. Weller,
with a4>oat’s crew, and the second
mate of the .Ann E Thompson, when
they found that, the troops needed wa

From the C unptrdller. General’a Rep irt.
The Heghnents-ef Volunteers in tb« So
vice of the Confederate (Government.
AVhile reporting the expenses of oiti State
for Military purposes—ahhouglinot required
by law, yet I desired if it was possible to do
so, topresent the organization of the various
Reghiicnts of Volunteers received into the
so’-ylco by the C-ms - lcrate (States Government
—that is. to give the name of the Colonel,
Li»e<tei ant Colonel. Major, anil the Captains
and Lieutenants of Companies in each Regi
ment, the c unties from which each Company
came, ami, also tbe number of each Regiment
as given it by the Confederate States Govern
ment.
As much of this information could only bo
obtained from the Wqr Department at Rich
mond, I have used my best exertions to obtain
the same from that point, without success. I
have only been enabled to get an official state
ment of the nuwbering of the various regi
ments, reported or received at that Depart
ment, up to the Ist of October, together with
the stations of the Regiments mimed. As
the numbers of many of the Regiments are
different from tho.'O given them when they
left Georgia, amt as in all reports of the Con
federate officers, they will only bedcsignated
and kdswn by the l umbers given them b
the Confederate Government, 1 have conclud
od to submit (lie informal ion received upon
bi-} point, which is as follow.::

Although in the above statement Col. Ben
ning’s Regiment is put down as at Lynchburg,
,yet for several weeks past it has been at Ma
nassas. ami Col. third Rvgiment has
lately J,ecu at R anoke Island. N. C. I have
only adu.kd to the etatea-.ent received, the
word “Independent” oppcsic these Regiments
that were received by Confederate Govern
ment direct!; , anti i.ot not through eitr Ex

The Regiment alluded to in the foregoing
statemeat, as_“not reported,” Ac., no doubt
C J. T. J. Warthen’s Regiment,
Levi B. Smith’s “
“David J. Bailey’s “
“ Littlefield “
now in Camp of Instruction in Georgia.
In addition to these, tiers is another, more
than full Reg.mcnt connnrnded by Col. Cary
W. St.les stationed; at Brunswick Georgia in
the service of Confederate Statc.s’Government.
Also three ‘Tedcpendenf Regiments” not tye
full, but in camp in Georgia, viz:
Col. IVin. H. Stiles Regi’r, 5 Companies,
Col. E. L Thomas -‘ 7 “
Col. Aug. R. Wr.gnt “ 6 “
Also, Col. C. A. Lamar *'. 7 ' “
Received by the Confederate Goverrnment
through State authority.
Besides these there already three Regi
ments in the .-erviee of the State, on or hear
the coast to be increased to six Regiments
within the next twenty days, for the purpose
of protecting ihe seaboard of Georgia.
Thus it. will be seen that our State has • at '
this lime thirty-four full Regiments, (some
more than full) and. four partially filled Regi
ments, together w ith three Battalions, and
other independent companies in Virginia and
Georgia, a-m unting in all to about forty Reg
iments in the C nlederate Govcrnmou ser
vice. And besides this there are three.Lsgi
moots now the ijiatc service to be increased
to six Regiments within the next twenty days
for the defence of her seacoast.
Os the Regimeets ami BaUaliins in the
Confederate Government service. Georgia
lies mned accoutred and equipped twenty
cne‘Re.glincnts three Battalions, and several
Conipa.des attached to full Regiments—all
of which nccourtemelits, equipments, &c,,
and a portion of the arms, have been piad
for out of the SI,O<M»,OUO appropriation, as
will be seen in die Abstract accompanying
tins Rvi'ioi-t, and from the Reports of tbe
Quarter-masters General.
