LOCAL DEFENCE,
A sensible arti< b-on this subject will be
found inanothi r column from the Knox
ville Register. There ip one other essen
tial t<> local and general defence, not al
luded to in’ 'hat article, but which is of
vital importance, W c may increase onr
army<md drill.at home ; but it is equally
import mt that we raise supplies wi h
out which onr armies cannot remain in
the field. |he man who raises more
corn this year than he consumes will
be found, perhaps as necessary to the
South as the soldier with h's mu<k<-t. -
Ix>t the distilleries bo stopped—and let
all who can, nut corn in the ground.
A GOOD SUGGESTION,
The following sngges'iou from the
Angns'a Constitution d : st is applica
ble to a nnmbo.-of incomplete compa
nies now being, f< i m’ng in Cobb. Sever
al companies have been or will be com
pleted ; but there will remain a large
number of volunteers on Afferent lists
who should combine in time to effect
their organization.
“We have been requested to suggest
that all of our citizens who are su'j-ct
to draft under the Governor’s Lite pro- I
cl.nmafion assem' le in from of the Citv
Hall on Mo„day next. Fob 24 h, and
there ascertain how many volunteers
can be obtained. Af'er this in done, the
persons who volunteer can proceed t >
elec.t their own officers This snggi>s»
tion is a good nne [ t w j|| t j )P
matter at. once, and prevent confusion.-
As it is, there are several companies
organizing, some or all of which mav
not be enabled to fill up their ranks to
the requisite number,.and thus render a
draft necessary whereas, by concert of
action, one, two, .or three volunteer
companies may bo organized before the
day of enr d’lri.ont -the 4th of March
nex‘, and the parties , volunteering can
have the privilege of choking their
own officers. It is earnestly to be
hoped that old IJicfim* nd will not have
to be drafted ; but it is only by prompt
*nd united action that it can be aver
ted.
If the above suggestion nv ,o 's with
approval, me sun s should be taken by
those interested to call he meeting on

THE MARIETTA WEEKLY ADVOCATE.
C.yMf “Sam JoyDs” Vi„ )
Fein uarV 17, 1862. )
To HI ' - MEN OF CoBR, I'aL'I.DING, CaRRoLI,
and surrounding counties,- Georgia
You all now | erceive that, we of the
Confederate State's are engaged in a
war involving the dearest rights of man
We are engaged with a cruel, relent
less and despersi-te en-my, in compari
son with wh >se pretensions, the tyranny
of the Old World pales in insignifi
cance. -
We must fight—we must car'-y our
cause though. •
You all know that the subject of sla
very first caused the breach which has
ended in the destruction of the United
States. They have abandoned that sub
ject entirely and h ve by their acts con
vinced the world that if they had our
cane and cotton fields hey would work
our negroes more relentlessly than
Southern men ever could do.
They now wage a war of subjuga
tion— think of it Georgians.and go ask
your mo hers, wives, sisters and sweet
hearts what they think of it. " hat do
you think of a war of subjugation? We
know what your thoughts and feelings
are - before you will be subjugated by
the mongrel cars of tin.* North, you
will “raze every house—burn every
blade of grass,” and leave them a des
ert for their conquest.
Under the good Providence of God
and our own right arms, we have so
far beaten them back, bn all of you
who Lave watched the course of events,
must see that, the coming season is one
that will call for. r newed vigilance and
a more determined effort in <-ur glorious
cause.
In all probability the decisive result
of this war will be ascertained by the
first of next September, We must meet
them—we must hurl them back and
firndy establish our freedom.
To meet the vandals prdn ptly and to
fight this war will) a determined resolve
to conquer or die, must surely be the
resolve of every true heart'd Georgian
who loves his home and country .
We who are now serving in t'.t" 7th
Regiment Georgia Volunteers, although
our heart* long for home, feel that w die
this war continues we cannot long re
main away from the tented field. Know
ing that onr dearest lights are imper
illed we cannot long yield to the pleas
ures and blandishments of home (dear
as they arc) but must “off to the wars
again.”.
We now write in advance to w rn
you rn nos Cobb, Paulding, Carroll,
and sin rounding counties to hold your
selves in readiness to shoulder arms
during the month of June From expe
rience we k ow hat in actual service a
legionary formation possesses peculiar
ail vantages, which you will soon appro
ciate anil understan 1 when in the field.
We therefore publish this to advi-e you
< f our determination, ns soon as our
present term expires (31st next M y)
to organize a legion to be called the
Georgia Legion, to be composed of the
following members and description of
troops.
Six. Companies Infantry.
Four “ Riflemen.
Four “ Cavalry.
Six p’eces Fi«-ld Artillery.
Sai'l companies not to !> • less than
80 to 120 men each and thus swell the
legion to 1500 to 1800 men. Twenty
five hundred will not be received.
We feel confident that th re are
enough of good ineif in our district to
fill up 'he ranks of this legion. Ihe
good men of this 7th Regiment will be
in it, and thus being all from one sec
i tion the ardships of the camp dgn will
be materially lightened.
| The organization of this legion will
be upon tie l most liberal principles to
. engage good practical men.
Any one desiring information can ob
tain it by addressing either of the un
dersigned.
The Georgia Legion must “go in.”—
So make your arrangements according

For the Advocate.
TO ARMS! TO ARMS I!
The hour has come for putting forth
all our strength 1 The preparations of
our qnemies for subjugating and ensla
ving u are assuming the most gi
gantic proportions—assuming propor
tions almost without paralle'. H<’
has already, it is stated, 700,000 men
armed and eqtiiped, anti most of them
mustered in for the war.
Sons of Georgia, the grand question
s before you - would you rather live as
slaves, or as freemen ? There can
be but one response from every true
Southern heart. Life is without value
if purchased by' dislmi or and coward
i<T Lives there a Georgian so base
that would seek to own a home on
1 Georgia’s soil, if subjugated by the
d< tested Yaskees ?
Let i:o one be deceived ! The con
stant cry at the North is rentu. atiun f
the 'ld Union. Some at the South may
suppose it practicable, and that possibly
the old condition of things could be re
stored Miserable error! The resto
ratioirof the old Union is utterly and
foiever impossible. If the North sue
coeds she South in enslaved— that is
dear. African slavery will be abolish
ed. and Southern property be confisca
ted to pay the expenses ol.the war, and
Southern men may starve or be serfs,
menials and boot-blacks 1
Sons of Georgia ! The grand issue
is upon us we cannot escape it. Let
us lise in onr, strength ! Let us meet
and des roy onr tyrants! "e have
been ti listing, perhaps, in a false seen
ri’y. The apparent delay and inactivi
ty of the enemy was a trap by which
suddenly to precipitate Lis hordes upon
ns, and finds us unprepared. We can
not doubt the cunningness of our foe
if we doubt his bravery
1..et 4 th»‘ mind of every citizen rise
to the magnitude of our position, Let
every heart burn with a noble and un
selfish patriotism. We cannot delay.
Let us make up our aiiids at once to
tl:e hardships and perils of the camp-
L-t every citizen feel himself a S"!d er
W’fietlii-r called to the field or not Let
our militia organizations be perfected.
Let every citizen have In's gnu, and as
much ammunition as lie can secure.—
Let us lie prepared to act as guerrillis.
We may be compelled to gome tv h it,
to harrass and waylay an invading force
that is (l< sulating our land.
Jlestoraiion of the Union ! A sea of
blood sepal ates the present from the
past. ! Separates the North from the
South ! 'Ve can never never—la'one
again. If the Noith succeeds the South
ern States become conquered provin
ci s, and « anding armies will be main
tained in our midst to keep a miseiable
people in slavish snbjec ion ! Sons of
Georgia, would you rather live as slaves
: or die as freemen ? K.

Local Def nee.
Wo have lost Fort Donelson, and
borne upon the tide of our swollen riv
ern be exultant enemy has obtained a
foot hold in Middle Tennessee, which
we did not anticipate which we deep
ly deplore. But vain regrets will not
help us to retrieve the past. The same
exultant and powerful toe threatens
East Tennessee. The caven hearted
man is paralyzed by fear. The brave
never despair. Troops are coming to
our assistance We must make a stand
here. It is not too late to accomplish
something although we have been so
long supine. It would Le something to
be proud of in all time -it would Le a
golden leaf in the early history of our
m w reprbl c, that s ctild bear the
record that East Tennessee, rent as i'
has been by difference of opinion on the
question ol the revolution, should yet
successfully resist the insolent inva
der, before whom our brethren of the
Middle section, with all their vaunted
patriotism, have been cornpelh d to fly.
We urge again the matter of local de
fences. Should a sufficient force come
to our aid, let them find us making some
preparation to co-operate with them.—•
Should we be left unsttpp uted to the
mercy of the enemy, they wiil respect
us none the less tor finding ns in earn
est in the cause to which we have given
so much lip-service. If then' ate half
a dozen sensible men in Knoxville, they
will go to work and try to organize
many of the aide bodied citizens as arc
not abject cowards, or secret or open
sympathisers with the cause of the abo
lition enemy, into some kind ol a corps
of resistance.
The Sick Soldiers.
Some five hundred sick and convales
cing soldii'rs are now in our city. Our
citizens almost en masse have manifes
ted the liveliest interest in contribn ing
to their wants. Mayor Calhoun had
everything done that was poss ble, in
the way of procuring rooms, fuel, bed

and I’r f Joi es gave every assistance
that skill, experience and labor could
lender. The various committees ap
pointed by the Mayor, have peformed
their duty frU’lifully ami effectually.—
ITundieds of heads of families, corn

The three are loca ed in the form cf a

that he has not directed the evacuation
of Columbus. The rumor to that effect
is a inistidce. The position will be
