GENERAL WRIOHTS PROCLAMATION.
Augusta, Ga.. Nov. 21, 1864.
I. Hi* Excellency, Gov. Jos. E. Brown.
Governor and Commander in Chief of the
Militia of the State, being cut off from
oommnnication with that portion of the
State East of the Oconee river by the in
terpoeition or a hostile army, it becomes
my duty, as President of the Senate and
Ex-Offieio Governor, during the disability
of the Governor, to assume command of
all that part of the State thus left without
the jurisdiction of the Governor ; and as
the prompt and faithful execution of the
recent Act of tho legislature, providing
for a lev} en masse of the arms bearing
people of the State is of vital importance,
Ido therefore issue this order, revoking
so much of the Governor's proclamation ns
provides for the reporting of all troops
raised under it to Major General G. W.
Smith, and do order, that men in all tho
counties East of the Oconee river, except
such as may be already reported to Major
General Wayne, report immediately to
me, at this place, when arms and equip
ments will be issued by the proper officers.
11. The Aids de-Camp in the districts
East of the Oconee river will proceed at
once to seud on all men liable to service
under the aforesaid Act.
111. A Medical Board will be established
at this place for the examination of all
men, when fituesb for the service may be
considered by the Aids-de-Camp as
doubtful.
IV. The emergency is such that the
delay even of a single day will in no oase
be permitted—all must be sent forward
a tonoe.
[Signed] A. R. Wright,
President of the Senate and Ex-Officio Gov.
during the disability of Gov, Brown.

WHAT THE “ EX-OFFICIO " SAID TO THE
GOVERNOR.
Augusta, Ga., Nov. 24,1864.
To His Excellency, Jos. E. Brou-n, Macon,
Ga.:
Governor—Finding that you have been
cut oft' from communication with the eastern
portion of the State, upon consultation with
the leading citizens and jurists here, I deter
mined to take the authority of assuming
the command of all the Militia East of the
Oconee; ns President of the Senate, and
have changed so much of your order as
required all the Militia to report to General
G. W. Smith, and have ordered all East of
the Oconee river to report to me at this
place. I also received a telegram from
General Wayne, then at Gordon, asking me
to adopt this course, as he was cut off from
you.
I have established a Camp here, and am
organizing them as rapidly as they come in.
As yet very few have reported. Enclosed, I
send you a copy of my published order.
I am very anxious to have you here to
take command, and have only temporarily
interfered to aid you in your efforts to save
the State. I think we will be able to hold
this place. We have a considerable force
already here, and General Bragg is on the
way with reinforcements. I have a dispatch
from General Wayne this morning ; he is
at Oconee, and was fighting Kirkpatrick all
day yesterday. We still hold the Oconee
Bridge. As soon as I can get a considera
ble body of the Militia organized, I will
communicate further with you, and take
such action as you direct. Please let me
hear from you, and say whether you approve
my course. The Stute stores and powder
which were sent to this place, have been
sent on to a place of greater security. Let
me know what yon wish done, and I will
take pleasure in attending to it.
I have the honor to be,
Very respectfully, etc.,
(Signed) A. R. Wrigut.
what the governor told him.
Executive Department, 1
Macon, Ga., Dec. 3, 1864. j
Hon. A. 11. Wright, President of the
Senate of State of Georgia, Augusta :
On my return from a trip to South
Western Georgia, I find your letter of the
24th ultimo. As the *• communication”
between this place and Augusta has not
been destroyed, but the line only length
ened, by way of Thomasville and Savan -
nab, which is kept open and id daily nse,
as is shown by your proclamation of the
21st of November, and your order of the
23d, which both referred to my proclama
tion dated 19th ultimo, which was pub
lished in the Macon papers on the same
day, showing that my proclamation and
order published in this city were received
in Augusta the second day after they wctc
issued, I cannot admit that the contingency,
contemplated in the constitution, has hap
pened, which authorized the President of
the Senate to nssume and exercise the
functions of Governor.
My proclamation published in this city,
on the 19th November, directed tho militia
to report to Major General Smith. Yours
dated at Augusta, 21st, declared part of
mine revoked, and ordered all East of the
Oconee, who had not reported to Major
Genera) Wayne, to report to you at
Augusta. This looked more like disap
probation of my orders, than want, of
knowledge of what they were, or the
means of communicating with my head
quarters. My aobse-jnent ordon of tho
25th November, wbioU changed that part
of my proclamation which required all to
report to Mqjor General Smith, and estab
lished four camps of organixation in the
State, were issued after full consultation
with Gen. Beauregard, Lieut. Gen. Taylor,
Major General Smith, and Major General
Cebb, vho were all present at the consul
tation, in this city.
These orders were published with tho
full sanction and approval of General
Beauregard, who expressed the opinion
that they provided for the best disposition
of the militia that conld, under tho circum
stances, be made for the defence of the
State against the oommon enemy, and
against straggling bands of robbers, scat
tered over a large part of her territory,
plundering and stealing, and doing more
injury to defenceless citizens, than any
like number of tho enemy.
As your orders conflict with both mv
proclamation and my orders issued with
the sanction above referred to, I cannot
approve them.
That portion ol the Militia able to
endure the hardships of the camp in front
of tho enemy are to bo sent forward from
the camps of organization established by
my orders, to Major General Smitli as fast
as possible. Those not able to endure
hard service are to bo üßed for the protec
tion ol property against robber bands,
'till further direction from General Beau-
regard.
You will send forward to Major General
Smith all you have organized who are able
to do field service, and discontinue the
camp at Augusta.
I will be obliged, if you will report the
muster rolls of those you have organized
to these headquarters.
I am sir, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
(Signed) Jos. E. Brown.

State Constitutional Convention
Atlanta, Jan. 27, 1868.
The Convention met puisuaut to adjourn
ment, and was called to order by the Presi
dent.
Prayer by the Chaplain.
The Journal was read.
On motion, the special order of the day
was taken up—the same being the report
of the Committee on Relief.
The reports of the majority and minority
on relief were read.
Mr. Harris, Chairman of tho Majority
Report, added tho following proviso, to
come in at the end ot the report, and
desired it to form a part of the original
report :
Provided , That tho Legislature may give
the courts jurisdiction where the debt has
originated from a trust, and the trust prop
erty is in the hands of tho trustee.
Mr. Holcombe moved to go into Com
mittee of the Whole on the report of the
Committee on Relief.
Mr. Bryant moved as a substitute that
the proviso, offered by Mr. Harris, be
printed, and that the Convention go into
Committee of the Whole on tho Bill of
Rights.
Mr. Bryant, with the consent of tho
Convention, withdrew his motion.
Mr. Holcombe’s motion to go into Com
mittee of the Whole was lost by a vote of
yeas 56 to nays 83.
The question of relief was then taken up,
when the following report from the Commit
tee on Relief was read :
Your Committee to whom ' was referred
the subject ot Relief, beg leave to report the
following:
Whereas, By the late disastrous war tho
people of Georgia have lost over four hun
dred million dollars of taxable property,
also a vast depreciatiou of real estate, and
the total loss of four years’ labor, thereby
throwing into hopeless confusion the equ’ta
ble relations of debtor and creditor ; and,
Whereas, The indebtedness of the State
to her citizens has been repudiated, and
her most solemn contracts violated, and
sanctioned and sustained by her ablest
jurists, thereby leaving the people to bear as
best they can the increased burdens thus
imposed ; and,
Whereas, The low price of cotton, tho
scarcity of money, the unsettled condition
of the political affairs of the State, and the
derangement and inefficiency of labor,
render it impossible for the debtor to make
even partial payment; and
Whereas, To undertake to force the pay
ment of indebtedness would only result in
bankruptcy and utter ruin of the great
masses, and concentrating into the hands
of a few the little remaining from ruthless
war; and
Whereas, All, or nearly all, the indebt
edness was based either directly or indi
rectly upon the property thus depreciated,
while the amount of indebtedness is held
undiminished: therefore,
We, the people of Georgia, in Convention
assembled, do solemnly ordain „that, from
and after the passage ot this ordinance, no
court in this State shall have jurisdiction at
any time to hear or determine, or render
judgment against any citizen of this State,
upon any contract or judgment made or
entered into, or for any tort or injury com
mitted prior to the first day of June, 1865 ;
nor shall any court or ministerial officer of
this State ever have jurisdiction to enforce
any judgment or execution rendered or
issued upon any contract or agreement, or
for any tort or injury committed prior to
said first day of June, 1865.
John Harris, Chairman.
C. H. Hopkins,
N. P. HoTCHKrss,
W. L. Goodwin,

Also, the accompanying resolution]:
Be it resolved, That tiie Committee on
the Judiciary be, and they arc hereby in
structed to insert in that part of the Con
stitution which defines the power of the
Judiciary of this State the following sec
tion :
No court in this State shall have juris
diction at any time to hear or determine,
or render judgment against any citizen of
this State, upon any contract or judgment
made or cßtered into, or for any tort or
injury committed prior to tho first day of
June, 1865; nor shall any court or minis
terial officer ot this State ever have juris
diction to cuforce any judgment or execu
tion rendered or issued upon any contract
or agreement, or for any tort or injury
made or committed prior to said first day of
June, 1865.
Mr. Akerman moved the report of tho
minority as a substitute for that of tho
majority, and addieased tho Convention in
behalf of his substitute, and against the
proposition contained in the report of tho
majority on relief. Before concluding hiß
remarks, the hour ol three p. m. having
arrived, Mr. Akerraan gave way to a
motion to adjourn.
Mr. Mii-leu moved to adjourn, which
motion prevailed, and the Convention ad
journed till half past nine o'clock to-morrow
morning.
-*A New York dispatch of last evening
says that the will case of Madame Jurael,
wife of Aaron Burr, has assumed anew
