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. Headquarters, Georgia Militia, ) . Augusta, Ga., Nov. 23, 1864. } Getter at Orders, No. I.

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. From the AtlaDta Era.] 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, It. B. Bullock, W, W. Dews, W. U. Whitehead. 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 phase.
