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 ly- W. W. White, Capt. Co. I 7th Ga. C. S. Jenkins, Capt. Co. D. 7tli, Ga. B. F. Bishop, lit. Com. Co. 11. 7tb, Ga. J. B.

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, Ex-Mayor. 1861, To the Mayor and City Council Os the city of Marietta.

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.

XIX—NO. 9, From the Chronicle & Sentinel. 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 cle: 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.
