To THS MEN OF CoUB, PaULDINO, ( AHBOI.T.
ANU Sl KROVNDINi; COUNTIES, - GEORGIA.
You all now |.crceive that we of the
Confederate States are engaged in a
war involving tfic dearest rights of man.
W e are engaged with a cruel, relent
less and desperate in compari
son with whoso pretensions, the tyranny
id’ the Old World pales in insignifi
cance.
W’c must fight—we must carry our
ean.>e though.
You all know that the subject of .-.la
very first caused the breach which has
ended in the destruction of the United
States. They have abandoned that sub
ject entirely and h ire by their acts con
vinced the world that if they had our
cane and cotton fields they 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. What 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 the 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, bm all of you
who have watched the course of events,
must see that the coining season is one
that will cal! for r newed vigilance and
a more determined effort in mir glorious
cause.
In al! probability the <’ecisivo result
ol tin’s war will bo ascertained by the
lirst of next September. We must meet
them—we must hurl them back and
firmly establish our freedom.
Tr> meet the vandals proir.ptly and to
fight this war with a determined resolve
to conquer or (lie, must surely be the
resolve of every true hearted Georgian
who loves his home and country.
We who are now serving in the 7th
Regiment-Gcorgia Volunteers, although
our hearts long for home, feel that while
this war continues we cannot long re
main away from the tented field. Know
ing that our dearest lights are imper
illed we cannot long yield to the pleas
ures and blandishments of home (dear
as they are) but must “off to the wars
again.”
We now write in advance to w rn
you men of Cobb, Paulding, Carroll,
and surrounding counties to hold your
selves in readiness to shoulder arms
during the month of June From expe
rience we know that in actual service a
legionary formation possesses peculiar
advantages, which you will soon appre
ciate and understand when in the field.
We therefore publish this to advise you
of our determination, us soon as our
present term expires (31st next May)
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 pieces Field Artiilery.
Said companies not to bn 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 there arc
enough of good men in our district to
fill up the ranks of this legion. The
good men of this 7th Regiment will be
in it, and thus being all from one sec
tion ttie hardships of the campaign will
be materially lightened.
The organization of this legion will
lie upon the most libera] 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

To the Mayor and City Council of Ma
rietta elect for the year 1862.
Gentlemen :
Owing to some unavoidable delay- I
have not received before this the Re
ports of the Treasurer and Tax Collec
tor for 1861. I herewitli a traiisinit them
to you as soon I have obtained them.
The Finance Committee has failed to
report.
zlt my induction into office in 1860,
the indebtedness of the city was about
§3OOO. In that year it was reduced to
about S2OOO, In 1861 a further reduc
tion has been made, and as reported by
the Clerk it is now about $1450,00.
Nothing has been added to the in
debtedness of the city during the two
years of my Administration, and al
though no improvements have been mack
it was thought best to devote the limi
ted resources of the city to this reduc
tion of its indebtedness, as by. reason of
the delay in payment of its obligations
the credit of the city was suffering. I
leave the Treasury of the city it better
condition than I found it. You will >f
course be the judge of your own policy.
Referring you to the accompanying
Reports for details.
I am very respectfully yours.
SAMUEL LAWRENCE,

Gen. 1’ rice.—Gen. Price is, beyond a
doubt, a live General. All hail to Gen
Price ! He is the man who, with limit
ed means, always accomplishes remark
able results, and with overpowering ar
mies around him, always gives a gootl
account of himself. Without dispar,
gement to West Point Generals, we
must be permitted to believe that once
in a while Nature makes a General just
to show 'Vest Point how it ought to be
done. General Price Ts one of Nature’s
specimens. How do you like him ? We
believe in West Point to a certain ex
tent ; but are no idolaters. Neither
Ciesar nor Alexander ever graduated at
a military school, aqd Napoleon would
always have been Napoleon, if lie had
never seen the inside of an academy.

Corn! Corn
We cannot too often reiterate to our
planters the injunction to slant corn!
The probability is strong that Kentucky
and Teniicsse an- to be the battle field
of this war as it lasts, and it is not iin.-
possible they may be lost to the Con
federacy. If so, there are no provis
ions to be looked for from those quar
ters.
The wheat crop, we are told, looks
promising and covers a. large breadth
of land. We have al ways noticed that
the wheat crops which looked most
flourishing at this early season of the
year, are those which turn out the'
we,rst. The warm,«wet winter has not
passed yet and the frosts of March,
catch it in “theliool'' most critical seas?
on, may ruin it as late frosts have fre
quently done within a few years past.
The wheat crop would really be mare’
p omising if it was less flourishing.
But we have that best of God’s ce
real gift to man, Indian Corn, to fall
back upon, and two months in this lat
'tudc it, can be planted with almost a
certainly of a crop —and we again and
again beg of faunors that they plant Dot
only large crops, that they may have
the advantage of both the “early and
latter rains.”
The Macon Telegraph treats this sub
ject with force in the subjoined arti

i
Corn Crops.—The even’s of the last
few days have added pith and force to
the consideratTons we have addressed
to planters on the subject of their next
crop. Recognition and open ports may
now be laid on the shelf for the present.
The rapid progress of the Federal arms
will no doubt suspend any movements 5
of Europen European Governments
looking to recognition, and we must al
so recollect that the enemy are rapidly
penetrating the cot'on region, and it is
by no means imp- ssible that he may
draw upon the Confederates for a con
siderable supply of the staple. We
may, at least accept i as a most pro
bable conclusion that the Confederate
market for cotton is closed for indefi
nite period. Why. then .-oi.v nL»»(<>.«• .
aUuaid aouiemplHte- ’-ptTt+ing -' andfTfer
Cotten seed in the ground this year, he
must answer, for we cannot.
Furthermore, in the future progress
of the war, wo ought in prudence, to
take the contingency of further reverses
into consideration. We ought to look
at the possibility that we may yet be
driven back to territory of the Cotton
Stat ’S, which in that case, must feed or
starve tiie cause of Southern Indepen
dence. Which, are we to do? Starve
it we must, unless a complete revolu
tion m onr agriculture takes place.—
Cut off from Tennessee and North Car
olina want of food alone would be fa
tal to our cause, unless wt? can, in
some way increase our production ten
fold. Ami in any case, whether cut off
or not, what dependence ought we to
repose on the agricultural resources of
those regions embarrassed as they will
be by the fierce struggles of contend*
ing armies?
Fhese are serious considerations.—•
When the press was urgingthe subject
upon planters las’ year and received so
many assurances that their words were
heeded, we felt no manner of doubt but
that food would be plenty Add tothis
more coin was actually produced than
was counted upon by the planters by
reason of the propitious season. But,
alas, what a delusion! Not a fifth part
was grown which should have been
ruined by this tune for lack of food!—
Thus nothing but gcod fortune saved
the Confederate army from starvation
this year. The cause would have been
gone, if it had been left to the provi
dence of our planters to support it, eith
er with c un or meat.
T esc reflections fill us with appre
hensions for the future. Are we to
stake our all on the chapter of acci-“
dents? If so, you may as well be mak
ing out your quit claims in favor of
Lincoln and the abolitionists. There is
no chance—for a desperate struggle of
arms is before us. Our soil is to be dis
puted inch by inch with a malignant
foe, of twice onr numbers, and if, at
the same time, our brave troops are to
suffer hunger and orr armies to be em
barrassed at every step by want of
provisions, we may as well give up
the struggle now as then.' Go on and
raise your cotton, and the abolitionists
will come and take it at their own
price, which is nothing, and then take
you ami your plantation besides 0
that planters would wake up to this
sul iect.
The Federal Union of Milledgeville
is authorized to say that, “all persons
liable to do military duty, who have
gone to the const since the order of the
Governor was issued to stop recruit
ing for companies there, without a spe

rctnain there under pretence of being in
service till after the 4th of March, will
be drafted at home as absentees, and
be compelled to enter the services for
the war No special order have been
given to authorize recruiting for State
service except to two or three compa*
nies which had been tendered and ac
cepted a few days before the Gover
