FROM NASHVILLE,
Dr Paul F. Eve reports to thgUonsti
tutionalist of Augusta that
"On Saturday night last, the welcome
news received that our troops were
fighting bravely, and that the fort was
still safe ; but on Sunday 7 morning a
dispatch was received by Gen. John
ston, stating that, during the eight, the
enemy has surrounded the fort, and ihat
it had fallen. The people of Nashville
were about going to church, but they
met in the street, and the question was
freely put, whether they should submit
to the enemy, or defend the city. The
submission party having the majority,
General Johnston dispatches so the Fed
eral General, McLernand, ( fiering to
surrender the city, on condition that
private property would be respected.—
No answer had been received up to
the time that Dr. Eve left Nashville,
but it was, of course, presumed that the
terms of capitulation would be readily
accepted.
As long as the river was low, the
people felt confident of safety, but the
river commencing to rise on Sunday
morning, with 8 feet of water in the
channel, sufficient for the enemy’s gun
boats to reach the city, hope fled, and
submission wispreferied to allowing
the city to be shelled, particularly a s
the enemy was approaching in two di
rections—from Fort Henry ami Fort
Donelsot, as well as from Bowling
Green.”
Other verbal reports say a fight will
be made at or near Nashville?

Fill a large p'U'tion of our space this
week ; but, they will be found very in

addresses itself p.rsonaly to every
Georgian capable of bearing arms.—
The Governor is manifestly very anx
ious that the twelve regiments should
be made up by volunteers and it is in
‘very point of view desirable that the
• State thoud not be compelled to resort-
■to compulsion to procure soldiers for
the war. The Governor, however is
not’the man to hesitate when his mind
mad' up, and the requisition must be
me tin one form or the other.
THE REQUISITION,
Gen. Wayne invites Voluntcr Compa
nies to tender theii services before the
4th of March. All received will be de
ducted from the county apportionment.
Companies not to contain less than 78
nor more than 114 inen
If a draft in any county be necessary
to make up its quota those absent from

From all wo can learn Cobb has not

Johnson, G N. Lester, T. K. Appling

A PROCLAMATION.
EXECU 1 IVE DEPARTMENT, )
Milledgeville, Feb. 11th, 1862. j
To thk People of Georgia :
The outrageous usurpations of pow-.
er and aggressions upon our rights,
committed by the Federal Government,
and the absolute degradation to which’
the Southern people were exposed if
they submitted to the rule of Mr. Lin
don, who was elevated to power by the
abolitionists and protectionists of the
North, compelled the State of Georgia,
in commo:, with her other Southern sis
ters, to wi hdrawfroni a Union in Which
the constitutional rights of her people
were no longer respected, and their lives
and property no longer secure. After
the secession of the South tii States
and the establishment of the Confeder
ate States Government the tyranical
despotism which rules at Washington
waged a wicked and bloody war upon
the people of these States, because in
the exercise of one of the most sacred
rights of freemen, we threw off’ the yoke
of bondage attempted so be fastened up
on us and our posterity, and refused to
be "hewers of wood and drawers of wa
ter” for a haughty and insolent people,
who claimed lhe right to compel us to
render obedience to their mandates
In their attempt to subjugate us the
Northern troops have been permitted to
disregard all the rules of civilized war
face. They have not only stolen our
property and laid waste the country be
hind them, where they have advanced
within our territory, but with fiendish
malignity, they have on several occa
sions, in cold blood, shot down unarmed
and unoff’nding women and children.
Not only have they disregarded all the
dictates of humanity, but with sacrile>-
gious infidelity, they have even dose
crated the altars of God, and have de
filed, and polluted our churches and pla
ces of public Worship.
VMiile the troops in the field have
been perpetrating these enormous
wrongs, the Lincoln cabinet has in vio
lation of the plainest principles of the
constitution, suspended the writ of ha
beas corpus, and has ordered the seizure
and inijirispinuent, yf Southern men, and
.'i-ill lit.l 11 WOllldlj ililll Wlicll tVB o'lll pit"
thize ■with us, for an indefinite period,
without the verdicts of juries, the judg
ments of courts, or the sentence of courts
martial. Some of the noblest and tru
est sons and daughters of Georgia are
included in the number, whose rights
have been thus wantonly outraged.
But these outrages are not confined
to the troops and to the cabinet. The
Lincoln Congress has passed laws con
fiscating a very large portion of the
property of (be Southern people, and a
bill is now pending before that body, if
it has not already passed, to assess an
exceedingly burdensome tax against the
lands of every man in the South, to as
sist them to carry on the War for our
destruction ; and if the tax is not paid
into their treasury after a short period,
the bill declares that all our lands shall
be confiscated, and taken from ns, and
authorizes the President as fast as he
gains possession of the country by force
of arms, to seize the lands, eject their
Southern owners from them, and colo
nize them wi:h Yankees and Foreigners,
who are to hold them under the authori
ty of the United States, and to take pos
session of our negroes and
to cultivate the lands taken from us for
the benefit of the Northern Government,
lhe object of this act, is the general
confiscation of all the lands of the South,
to the Lincoln Government. If con
quered, we are to be driven from them ;
and leave them to be occupied by our
most deadly enemies. It is already the
public boast of one of the Northern
Generals, who is also a U. S. Senator,
that it is the settled policy of t’m Gov
ernment, to make the lands of the sunny
South, the home of a colony of negroes,
belonging to the North, under mast-rs
and rulers appointed by that Govern
ment. 'fo accomplish this it. is proposed
to arm thy negroes, and incite them to
destroy our wives tied our children.
Not content with deprivi: ggns of al!
our lands, it is the known policy of that
Government, to take the balance of our
property to pay the debt which they
have contracted, in preparing for our
subjugation. This debt already reach
es nearly on-; thousand million "of dol
lars. If then we tire overcome, we not
only lose all the lands and all the o'her
property we possess ; but we must be
driven from the homes of our ancestors,
and must leave their graves, and the al
tars which'.hey have bequeathed to us,
to be trampled under foot by our inso
lent masters ; and wfiat is still infinite
ly worse, we lose our civil and religious
liber ies, and musftransmit an heritage
of bondage to our posterity. Will
Georgians ever submit to those out
rages ? If we do, while there is a man
in the State able to bear aims, a lady
able to work to clothe him, and a dollar
with which to support him in the field ;
we have degenerated, and are unworthy
our ancestors. Nay, more, we are un
worthy the sacrifices which have been
►made for our protection ; by the noble
sons of our State, who on many a battle
field have lately poured out their life’s
blood, a willing offering in illustration
of ( nr character, and vindication of our
cause.
But, my countrymen, if we would
avert the calamities to which 1 have al
luded, we must awake from the slum
bers of false security, and thousands
more from Georgia must immediately
fly to arms.
The Lincoln Government now has
over half a million cf men in the field,
armed, accoutred andequipped, wiUi all
the outfits necessary for the soldier.—
These troops are enlisted for the war.—
Most of them are becoming well trained.
That government also has a large na
val force, and has the control of the
seas around us, and of part of our in
land waters Our ports arc blockaded,
Tile territory of almost every State in
tire Confederacy, including the territory
Cd our own Georgia, is now invaded by
a heavy .threatening- force. Soon the
blow is to be stricken with terrible fury
on many a bloody field.
To meet this vast force, we have a
smaller number. Os this number a
large proportion entered the service for
a term which expires during he ensu
ing spring, 'l he enemy looks to this
fact with great interest, and expects to
strike the decisive I.low, when we are
weakened by the discharge of more than
hull our entire army. This we must not
permit-, but without delay, we must
much more than fill the places of all,
whose terms expire, and who cauno
re-enlist. Our troops now in the field
have shown a noble self-sacrificing dis
position, and I cannot doubt that every
one of them who can possible do so, will
respond cheeifu'ly to their country’s
call in this solemn hour of trial, and
promptly re -enlist for the war. After
this has been done, many more will
still be needed, and we must not deceive
ourselves, by supposing that those now
in the field can do all that is required.
With a view to meet the present
emergency, the President of the Con
federate States has made a requisition,
upon the Governors of the different
Stales, for such additional force, to
serve for three years or during the, war,
as in his judgment is sufficient for the
present crisis.
In carrying out this wise' policy he
has called upon me as your Governor
to furnish twelve additional regiments,
from Georgia forthe long.h of time above
specified, by the 15th ol March it possi
ble. lam requested to order the troops
into camps of instruction, and am an
thorized by the Secretary of War to
say, that they will furnish them at the
expense of the Confederate St ates with
‘•clothing, equipments and arms” and
that a bounty of fifty dollars will be
paid to each volunteer private, so soon
as his company is mustered into service
and that transportation will be furnish
oH tn onch from his home to the place
of rendezvous. The law also anthoris
zes the volunteers to elect their own
officers. In compliance with ihe re
quest of the Secretary of Aar I will
establish three camps of instruction.—
One at Camp McDonald, seven miles
above Marietta on the W. & A. R. Road;
one at Camp Stephens, near Griffin;
and one at. Camp Davis hirly miles
from Savannah, on the Central Railroad
Under this requisition from the Presi
dent it becomes rny du y to call upon
the chivalrous sons of the Empire
Slate who still remain at home, to em
ulate the noble example of those who
have gone before them to the field and
contribute their part to sustain the high
character won for Georgia by tiie
valor of her troops in every contest
i where they have met their country’s
foe. In view of the past, I cannot per
mit myself to entertain a reasonable
doubt, that the whole number required
will immediately respond as volunteers
Surely no true patriotic sonof our State
when all the property he possesses,
his life and the liberties of his posteri
ty are at stake, will wait to be forced
into the field by draft. Were Georgia’s
sons capable of this I cannot believe
that the noble women of the Slate,
who have done so much for the can t*,
would ever tolerate such delinquency.
Should I have the mortification to
find that I am rnistak-:n in this most
reasonable expectation, I shall imme
diately proceed to detach or <Zra/7, such
umber from each regiment or indepen
dent battalion in this State, as may be
iieccessary with the number who
volunteer, to make up the quota requir
ed from such Regiment oi Indepen
dent battalion. The statute does not
require that, the d a/'t be made by lot
!>ut leaves the mode of making' the
detachnumi or d-aft t t > the discretion of
the Commander in Chief.
Let it be remembered that no bounty
is paid to the soldier who has to be
forced by a dralt to defend his home,
and that the proper authority lias the
right to assign to him the officers by
whom he is to be commanded. The
bounty and the elective franchise belong
under the law, only to the brave volun
teer. That the question may be deci
ded without delay, and the required
regiments be raised immediately, either
by the acceptance of volunteers, or by
detachment or d aft-, the Adjutant and
Inspector General, under my direction,
will proceed to issue orders to the com
manding officer of each Regiment or
Independent Battailion in this State and
if the regiment or battallion, is not ful
ly organized, then to the Senior officer
entitled to the command, informing him
of the number of men requiried from
bis command and directing him to call
out the Regimental or Battallion par
tide ground on Tuesday the 4th day ot
March next, and each and- every mat
in Georgia liable to do military du y
is hereby required to take notice t.n '
attend at the parade g'round of th.
Regiment or Independent Battallion t
which he belongs on that. day. When
ll) 1 i’eg tnoiit or B.t alien is assemnled i
the Comtnaudingofficcr will be required
lo call for such number of volunteers as
are required from his command. If a
sufficient numtier do not n'Spc-nd to the
call he will be directed to de ach or draft
the balance of the number n< eded, tak
ing down as drafted, first the names of
all who are subject to do Military duty 1
w) o have been notified of the time and
place of such parade and are absent
from it, except for Providential cause

has not been offered, when tiiis class is
exhausted.

duty of attending 'b • parade and repor

present.
the commanding officer will cm that
d <y be required to make out a complete
roll of al! the names tjfe-r.sons under
his command liable t
and forward a copy t anta nd
Inspector General’s office.’
J caimot close without repeating my
ardent hope, that a number of volun
teers sufficient to till the entire requis
ition, will promptly icspond. This is :
required to sustain the h nor of Geer- '
gia, her proud position as the Empire
State, and lhe imrnor alityoi glory al
ready won for her arms by the brilliant
deeds, and heroic dating of her troops,
in the field
Let none be discouraged on account I
of our late reverses. We cannot ex- !
pect always to be Victorious.— j
We have had the most ch ering cvi-I
denccs of the interposition of Divine I
Providence in our favor;while our arms :
have been crowned with a succession ;
of victories which find but few paralels i
in history. True, the en< n y has the j
advan ago of us upon the waters, but
before he can subjugate us, he must
expose his troops, where we can meet
them hand t > hand, and drive them
back, Iny >h use of aid steel in close
quarters, liewt his courage fails him,
and here it is that 'nr troops have
shown a most wonderful surperiorty,
and a most remarkable heroism. Here
then let- every Georgian go forth resolv
ed to grapple with him- and with that
true courage t’nat nerves the patriot’s
arm, here let ns force him to decide the
contest. If we do this and are mind
ful of the a reng'tli of that Almighty arm
upon whose assistance we should hum
bly and confidently rely we cannot fail
to drive the invader from our genial ■
territory back to his frozen home.

While reporting the expenses of our State

—that is, to give the name of the Colonel;

and Lieutenants of Companies in each Regi

Bes ides several independent companies in
Virginia not yet organized into Battalions or

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

are-
Col. T. J. Warthen’s Regiment,

the service of Confederate States’Government.

Besides those there already three Regi
ments in the'service of the State, on or near
the coast to be increased to six Regiments

mote than bill) and four partially filled Regi
ments, together ii ith three Battalions, and
o'her independent companies in Virginia and
Georgia, a tt-miiiing in all t >ab mt forty Reg
