It must-have- been between 4.000 and 5,000. Twenty-eight pieces vs artillery about 5.000 muskets and nearly :>OO. 000 cartridges; a garrison Hag and 10 .'olors were captured on the field, or in the pursuit. Besides these we, cap tured 64 ar-illery horses, with their har ness 26 wagons and much camp equip age, clothing', B’..d property abandoned in their flight. The officers of my staff deserve high iOinmcndation for efficient and gallant , service during the day and 'lie cam- | paign, and I beg leave to call the atten- j tion of the Government to then meiits. Major W. If. C. Whiting, Chief Engin- 1 cer was invaluable to me tor his signal . ability in his profession and for his in ; 'lefatigablo activity before and in the i battle.

A ith these was my gallant friend, < aptain Barlow Mason, who was mortally wounded. I have already menti med the biat e death of ordnance officer Colonel I*. J. Thom as. I was ranch indebted also, to Col onels J. J. Preston, Manning, Miles, and Chisholm, and Captain Stevens, of the Engineer Corps, member 5 * oi ~ Gen eral Beauregard’s staff, who kinly prof sered their services, and rendt red offic iant and valuable aid at different times during the day. Colonel G. W. Lay, of General Bonham’s staff, delivered my instructions to the troops sent in pursuit and to inteceipt the enemy with mnch intelligence and courage. It will be remarked that the three Brigadier-Generals of the army of the Shenandoah ware all wounded. 1 have already mentioned the wound of Gen Jackson, painfully wounded early in the day, commanded his brigade to the close of the action. Gen. Bee, after great exposure at rhe commencement of the engagement,was mortally wounded wdas-w rcuiforccmcuU wore. Cuming up. , _ . , The apparent firmness of the United States troops at Centreville who had not been engaged, which cheeked our, pursuit, the strong forces occupying the works near Georgetown, Arlington and Alexandria, the certainty too that General Patterson, if needed, would reach Washington with his army of hirty thousand men, sooner than we could, and the condition and inade quate means of the army in ammuni tion, provisions, and transportation, prevented any serious thoughts of ad vancing against the Capitol. It is certain that the fresh troops within the works were in number, quite sufficient for their defence; if not, Gen. I’attter son’s army would certainly reinforce them scon enough. Thia report will be presented to you by my Aid-de-Camp, Lieut, J. B. Wash ington, by whom and by Gen Beaure gard’s Aid, Lieut. Ferguson, the captur ed colors are transmitted to the War Department.

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 teresting, the latter especially so as it 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 parade will be drafted en masse—next the unmarried men and then married men, if the number is not sooner made up From all wo can learn Cobb has not reached the draft point. More than half the requisite number one hundred and ninety 7 two have already volunteer ed. Several gentlemen, Messrs. J. M, Johnson, G N. Lester, T. K. Appling Lemuel Kendrick,. Hoie, and others, are rapidly organizing companies which, when completed will.make a regiment. Old Cobb seems to have resolved al most en masse to be ' in at the death.” SUICIDAL. lhe Constitutionalist commenting on the madness which prompts the des truction of our cities which may possi !dy fall into the hands of the enemy and especially with referem c to Savannah remarks: “ lo such a step, we here enter a sol emn protest. We protest against it as unwise, as fruitless of any good result, as not calculated to be of any 7 serious disadvantage to the enemy, while it would inflict a stupendous, permanent ’’’.jury upon the people of the city’ and of the State. It would involve a des truction of buildings that otherwise mignl stand hundred of years to beauti fy that fair city, and subserve the uses of her people for ages after the present atrocious set of Yankee vandals have been ignotninously driven back to their Northern homes. To destroy the city under the presumption that it could nev er be won back, would be to act on an unmanly fear, and to imply a doubt of Southern prowess and courage. lhe stone fleet blockade, is denounced throughout christendom as vandalism against all mankind, because it seeks to destroy a beneficent provision of na ture, designed for the benefi of all ages. The destruction of a city of brick and stone by its own people, woul . be van dalism against its own posterity, unless the hope of winning back was ab, ndon ed. But there could be no such aban don'ng of hope by our people, even though one hundred thousand Yankees were in possession of Savannah to-mor row. It was once in th possession of the British —so was Charleston ; but our patriotic forefathers did not lose hope in their lecoveiy. The British finally evacuated both cities, and their I obstinate old King was compelled to ■ sign a treaty, acknowledging the inde : pendence of the American States.— What George the Third did as regards them, Lincoln will be finally compelled to do as regards the Confederate States, and all their cities, now blockaded and threatened, will resume their commerce with the world, and commerce a career of prosperity they have never yet known. have argued upon the contingen cy of the capture of Savann .h. But we are strong in the confident assurance, that Savannah will be successfully de fended against any force by land or wa ter, with which she may be assailed. ■> MB ■ I—— 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 made known at the time. The Com ms tiding Officer will also receive from ! the Adjutant and inspector General, 1 instructions as to the class next to be! detached in case a sufficient number! has not been offered, when tiiis class is exhausted. Each Justice of the Peace in each county i-4 also lien by charged with the duty of attending 'b • parade and repor ting to the Commanding Officer the names of any persons in his district subject to do Military duty who are not 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. In this hour of n .tioiml peril, when I our danger to iminent trusting in God, who ah-ne is able to reive us vic- I tory, but who will not asssist us un less we humble enrselves in his pres ence, tnd exert all the strength with, which he lias endowed us; I warn you of the daiiget which surrounds von, my c untry, an* as your Commander-in t hies. I exhert you to lay aside, when necceasarry, every o her eml loyment, and 1 now summon you immediately to arms Strike before it is too late, for your libi.-rlics, your families, yom homes and your .Itars. .

While reporting the expenses of our State for Military purposes—although not required by law, yet I desired if it was possible to do so, to present the organization of the various j Regiments of Volunteers received into the service by the Confederate States Government —that is, to give the name of the Colonel; Lieutenant Colonel, Major, and the Captains and Lieutenants of Companies in each Regi ment, the counties from which each Company i came, and, also the number of each Regiment ! as given it by the Ctwfedcra'c States Govern ■ ment. : As much of this information could only be I obtained from the Wer Department at Rich ' niond, I have used iny host exertions to obtain j the same from that point, without success.
