INFLUENCE OF SLAVERY.
JIiiiv agencies combine in the formation tf
araciei'i and it is necessary that it should be so,
there would be no criterion by which to dcier-
the influences that mould it. If mere purpose,
dilating in the mind, was competent to give
jiijtpe and practical direction to our individ-
]., v . t jj t . r e would be no difference in the force of
h—uo diversity of action—nothing original in
l l0 ; r fortunes. Ail would be moved by common
impressions,—all would see and judge alike—all
U p.. inferior, ordinary or elevated alike, be-
se (he same influences would produce a similar
result in all. Thus men who are accustomed to
,l,,-v orders lose all confidence iu their own judg-
J t aL1 J ultimately become mere living maehines
•vuich are put in active motion by the will of otlr-
^ .Such men become more contracted in their
views of life from daily habit. What fac-
u ti:-s of expansion they once liad, have perished
. ,r the want of nurture ; and men of this class take
their level in society, from which they have no pow-
escape, however strong the desire after wit
ting the advancement of others.
On the other hand we maintain that the posses-
s j lllt nu d exercise of authority gives quite another
tuI „. to character—to individual life. Where can
ve tind a specimen of easy and graceful manners
eipial to that afforded by the officers of the Army
iiul Nuvv, " ho have long exercised command !—
Xliev are conscious of their own strength and ve-
sotirces by repeated tests where their will was the
supreme law which admitted of no faulteriug, and
tl,e least symptom of disobedience or of murmur-
j U fr was promptly punished. This rigor is essen-
t; a l to the duties which the army and navy have to
perforin. The Arm, decided voice and bearing of
d commander infuses energy into the nieu, and «*u-
a lil,-s them to execute the most difficult undertak
ings, even the sealing of a rampart or the spiking
of a battery in the midst of the lrotest fire.—
'j’liis action of mind upon muscle has been il
lustrated in many a battlefield, and also on occa
sions of <neat hazard iu civil employments. It in
sensibly begets an elevation of principle and ad-
( ] ross which no other lot in fife can impart to a man.
similar effects on character will always proceed
fj'.jin similar influences.
1W shall not keep our readers in suspense as to
tliv application we intend to make. Domestic
Slnrrry in the South is the basis on which we stand
to prove the correctness of our views. The pres
ence of an inferior race among us who have no
mental capacity and no moral perceptions to dis
charge the duties of civilized life,—who could
never cast aside degrading habits anil lieathernish
superstitions, if left to themselves, and who are
physically constituted to endure allot climate, and
to perform servile labor without impairing their
self-respect, and without losing cast among them
selves ;—the presence of such a population in our
miilst. and the uses to which they have been ap
plied by ilie superior race, have the effect of pro
ducin'! a peculiar elevation and refinement iu slave
owners, and iu all intelligent men and women who
properlv feel on the subject, which cannot be found
where the whites employ and serve each other in
the menial drugeriesof life.
At a future time we shall specify the reasons
more in detail.
CROP PROSPECTS.
We have recently travelled through most of the
adjoining counties and are happy at being able to
state for public information, that the grain crop
was never more promising. Wheat and fall oats
are now heading out finely, and as yet, no disas
ter threatens either. We have seen wheat fields of
titty acres, or more, that we are certain will pro
duce from lf> to 20 bushels per acre. One heard
of, containing 100 acres, it is thought will quite
average the latter quantity. Iu less than a month,
after harvest shall have commenced, we hazard
nothing in saying, that corn must materially fall
hi price.
The stands for com the present year are gener
ally good. Planters are now plowing and bring
ing their corn to a stand, while a few are even
chopping out cotton.
While not yet too late, let them by all means be
sure to have all .other provision crops raised iu
abundance, that they may raise tlieir own pork
and whatever else they may need,—the only means
of becoming truly independent. It is only for
tiicui to will it. to make themselves so.
MAJOR ANDERSON’S VICTORY.
Our readers will find in to-day’s paper the ac-
count given by Maj. Anderson undone his offi
cers. Capt. Doubleday, of the bombardment and
evacuation of Fort Sumter, so framed as to make
Maj- Andersou appear the victorious party ! That
lie abandoned the Fort was enough for us. Our
army sought nothing more than its possession, and
having obtained that, we are satisfied without im
posing terms of humiliation on a defenceless party.
Prom Major Anderson’s statement to the Secretary
of War, Gen. Beauregard ,had communicated the
terms on which the Fort might be evacuated, be
fore the guns were opened upon it, which being
declined, the attack was then made, and after
thirty hours of severe cannonading on both sides,
Maj- Andersou then agreed to the terms. It was
magnanimous in Gen. Beauregard to forbear more
stringent exactions when he had all the power
The North is unable to appreciate anything like
chivalry.
If it can afford the North any consolation to per
vert historical defeats into imaginary triumphs,
we are willing to share similar failures for the
sak e of rendering our enemy content with him
self. It would be cruel to deny him the cheap
privilege of praising his legs after they had per
formed so useful a service as bearing his body
from a conflagration which would have consumed
him had he remained a few hours longer in Fort
Su niter. A retreat could not be honorably ef
fected without legs, and gratitude requires that we
should speak well of our benefactors.
BALTIMORE EXCITEMENT.
The reports have beeu so various and conflicting
as to the collisions in Baltimore between the citi
zens and the administration troops passing through,
that we are at a loss what version to credit. The
facts have no doubt been greatly exaggerated, as it
"as at one time stated that the whole 7th New
^ork Regiment had been cut to pieces and taken
prisoners by the outraged citizens. This turns
out to be incorrect. The Baltimore Exchange of
20th inst. says, that in the assault there were elev
en citizens and three soldiers killed, and nine sol
diers and three citizens wounded, and that six of
the military died after the departure of the train
tor Washington.
The scene of violence is described by the Balti
more papers as presenting a fierce and sanguinary
conflict. Mr. Richard T. Davis, a respected mer
chant, was killed by a shot from one of the ears
while conversing with a friend. Hi,s death caused
a great sensation, and the stores were closed in
hoiiur of his memory. Gov. Hicks and the Mayor
had issued Proclamations to preserve the peace of
the city. Quiet had been restored.
STAY-LAW OF NATIONS.
Bile a state of war exists between the Unit< d
States and the Confederate States, it is a crime un
der the Law of Nations for a citizen of any State
against which war has been declared by President
Lincoln, to pay a debt due to an enemy, as it af
fords him and his Government the means of sus
taining the war, and of doing an injury to thedebt-
or and his Government. It follows of course, that
any merchant, machinist or trader, who owes alle
giance to the Southern Confederacy, subjects him-
• s vlf to indictment as for a misdemeanor, and to
severe punishiueut by the Courts, for paying in
vein, bank notes or by bills of exchange any debt
or obligation which he owes to a citizen of the Uni
ted States, however able and willing he may be to
make payment. A sense of houor and pride of
credit to avoid a protest, must yield to the para
mount Jaw of Nations.
Bur readers are referred to Gov. Brown’s Procla
mation on the subject, in to-days paper, and we
cordially endorse it as a measure demanded by tbe
circumstances of tbe country.
BALDWIN BLUES.
On Friday morning, at 9 o’clock, a very large
concourse oi our citizens, aud a number from the
vicinity, assembled at tbe Railroad Depot, to wit
ness the departure of the Baldwin Blues for the
seat of war in Virginia, or elsewhere, as orders may
require. Captain Doles was justly proud of his
company, as he marched them iu gallant style, with
banners aud music, to the Depot, preserving the
ranks unbroken, though an opportunity was given
lor taking leave of their friends iu line- The la
dies were present in gieat numbers, and many tears
were shed on the occasion. Wives parted with
husbands, mothers with sons, and sisters with
brothers, aud we have reason to believe that a very
tender sentiment, not yet matured into special rela
tions, lurked iu sundry bosoms which made the fan -
well scene not less trying because it was inadmis
sible to give utterance to emotion in such cases.
I he “ Blues” were'escorted by the “ Governor’s
Ilorse Guards,” Captaiu DuuilJNOX, who made
a handsome appearance, as they always do,
whether on parade, or on special occasions like
the present. The arrival of the train was announc
ed by a discharge of Artillery, and a friendly greet
ing was extended to the “ Brown Rifles,” of Pat*
nam, who were commanded by Captain R. B.NiS-
BET.
Before the “ Blues” stepped into the cars, they uu_
covered their heads, when Prayer was offered by
the Rev. William Funk, who liad been request
ed by the company to act as their Chaplain in the
service. We feel authorized to say that the request
has had its influence on the Rev. Pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, several of whose flock, as
well as members of other Churches in the city, be
long to the corps, aud that it is quite probable
he may follow iu a short time, when a regulation
to that effect shall be adopted by those in authority.
When the train started, another gun was fired,
and amid tears, and the waving of hats and hand
kerchiefs by the multitude, our military friends
passed from sight on their way to the field of action’
where they will be certain to give a good account
oi themselves by deeds of valor.
V e think it only just to our foreign boru citi
zens to remark, that of flic sixteen Germaus in our
city capable of bearing amis, six of them have gone
as members of the company. One of them, Mr.
Mauler, the Artist, has served in the Austrian
army, and was severely wounded iu battle.
“ YOUNG GUARD.”
Capt. A. H. Lee, of Covington has written us the
following note, under date ol' 22d inst:—
I here is due to the company of the Young
Guard an explanation why, in your corrected iiitf,
our name was omitted.”
The gallant officer will perceive, on a re-exam
ination ot the list of \ olunteer Companies published
in the Recorder on the 2d inst. and continued week
ly since, this entry at the bottom of the Roll, just
where the Alphabet placed his company—
“ Young Guards, A. H. Lee, Newton.”
We beg to inform our correspondent that if there
had in fact been omission, such as he imputes, it
could not have been from design, as we take pride
iu the martial spirit which animates our young men
and leads so many of them to tender their services
to the State, defending the Southern Confederacy
from aggression. We have seen this patriotic Corps
of eighty men handsomely noticed in the papers.
IIAYTI vs. THE SOUTH.
About seventy years ago the Island of St. Domiu-
go belouged to the French, when an insurrection
of the blacks took place, aud all the white settlers
were either massacred, or fled for their lives. The
Government of the United States up to March 4,
1861, had never recognized the independence of
Havti under her black rulers, and therefore never
had any diplomatic relations.witli the “Republic,”
as the government of St. Domingo was called.—
But we see it stated tiiat Mr. Sumner, faithful to
his negro freedom sympathies, has advised Presi
dent Lincoln to recognize at once the Haytian
Government; and of course when this is done,
there will be a black Envoy Extraordinary and
minister Plenipotentiary to the Lincoln Court at
ashingtou,—a very appropriate accession to the
official society of the Federal Metropolis, as at
present constituted. Negroes and white men are
equal in Mr. Lincoln’s estimation (as he has often
declared in his electioneering speeches) aud he can
now practically enforce his doctrine.
OFFICIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
We give to-day the notes between the Commis
sioners of the Confederate States, aud Mr. Seward,
relative to negotiations for the peaceable adjustment
of all questions between the two Governments. It
will be seen that the responsibility of the war has
been cast altogether on the administration—the
Commissioners having used all proper means to
avoid the painful alternative. The Hon. John A.
Campbell, Judge of the Supreme Court of the
Uuited States, delivered the verbal message of the
Commissioners to Mr. Seward.
The correspondence between Gen. Beauregard
and Major Anderson is also laid before our readers,
showing the terms proposed in the case of cvacu-
tiou of Fort Sumter. These documents should be
read iu order to understand the straightforward and
manly course of the Confederate officers, and the
evasive policy on the other side.
NORTHERN JOURNALS.
In the city of New York mob law seems to be
predominant, as every newspaper establishment is
compelled, from threats of violence, to hang out
the flag of the United States. No neutrality is per
mitted. Even the Hotel keepers and merchants
are subjected to tbe same treatment, whatever may
be their convictions or sympathies in favor of the
South. Harder aud more unreasonable still, South
ern men sojourning in the city are forced to
hang out colors which do not represent their loy
alty.
We suppose the Northern people consider union
among themselves as vital to their cause as we of
the South do to ours. Among us there is no dissen
sion. We are all of the same mind, and equally
intent upon the defense and preservation of our
rights. There are many Northern men residiug at
the South as merchants, teachers, mechanics, clerks,
agents, &.C., who experience no such indignities,
and to whom we hope none will be offered, so long
as they deport themselves with propriety. What
ever may be the rashness of the North in this res
pect, our people can afford a better example, and
still maintain their cause against the wild fury ol
fanaticism.
A GALLANT EXAMPLE.
No instance of patriotic devotion to the South
has come within our knowledge, more entitled to
honorable mention, than that of Gen. John W. A.
Sanford of our city, who will in a few days tender
himself to the “Baldwin Blues.” now iu Virginia,
as a Private in their company.
Gen. Sanfoisd, until his resignation a few mouths
past, commanded a Division of the Militia of this
State thirty years as Major General, with great ef
ficiency, and with marked benefit to our citizen
soldiers. His first connection with military life
was in 1827. when he was the confidential Aid-de-
Camp of Gov. Troup. He was subsequently
elected a Representative in Congress, but resigned
before taking his seat, to accept a Special Agency
tendered him by' President Jackson as Commit -
sioucr of Indian Reserves in tbe Creek Nation. Iu
the Cherokee District he also had a Special Milita
ry command under the administration of Gov, Gil
mer, which lie performed with credit to himse.l
aud with advantage to the public. More recently
Geu. Saneoud was appointed by the Georgia Con
vention as Commissioner to Texas, aud through his
able and zealous efforts, the people of that State
were fully aroused to the work of secession, which
was soon nobly accomplished at the ballot box.—
Such a soldier, and such a gentleman of the most
eleVated character, seeking to serve his country as
^Private in her armies, is a sublime picture to con
template !
The Custom House at New Yolk refused on
the 18th to graut auy clearances for ports iu tie
seceded States.
LIBERAL DONATIONS.
V c learn that the sum of three thousand dollars
has been contributed by the citizens ot this coun
ty toward cqupping the *• Baldwin Blues” for ac
tual service, and for the aid (during their absence) of
the families of such of them as depended on their
personal earnings for a support. Of thfs fund, the
sum of five hundred dollars was paid to the
“ Blues” as a purse for their comforts on the march,
with liberty to draw for the like amount, if they
deemed necessary, after reaching the seat of war.
We take pleasure in referring to the liberality of
L. A. Jordan, Esq., who advanced five hundred
dollars tor the benefit of the “ Blues,” with an as
surance that as long as he had a dollar, their fam
ilies and sweethearts should not be neglected. Be
sides this act of generosity, we understand that
Mr. Jordan has equipped an entire Volunteer
Company elsewhere, aud aided in fitting out an
other for the field, llis immense wealth could not
be used more honorably to himself, or usefully to '
his country. N y1
CONFESSION OF U. S. SOLDIERS. \ j
A young man named Ward was shot by a sol- !
dier, in the late collision at Baltimore, and on see- J
ing the deed a friend of Ward fired his revolver at
the soldier, who fell mortally wounded. His last
words were, “I have got what I deserve; I
left a peaceful and happy home to come here and
invade the land of iny brother.”
Another soldier, who had failed to explode a cap
in trying to shoot a citizen, was run through with !
his own bayonet by tbe citizen. When dying, the I
Irish soldier called the bystanders to witness, j
“ that he thanked his God, although he was dying !
himself, that his gun had not exploded; that he j
never desired this service, aud was pressed into it 1
under threats of death : that the people of Balti- J
more did right, and that the rest of the troops de
served his fate.”
Such is a specimen of the feeling entertained by
the soldiers who, from the necessity of hunger or
of force, are drawn into Mr. Lincolns army. A
fearful retribution awaits the author of the mis
chief!
U. S. “BARRACKS!”
When iu 1814, the Capitol aud other public build
ings were burnt by the British, it was called a
great outrage by the civilized world,—and so it
was a barbarian outrage. But Mr. Lincoln has 1
thought proper to excel the enemy in vandalism,
by converting the Capitol into barracks for Lis ab
olition butchers from New York, Massachusetts
and Pennsylvania, who are now quartered within
its walls.
It is a shame to humanity that such vile desecra
tion should be permitted. The noblest edifice in
the world, once devoted to the noblest purposes, is
now prostituted to the basest,—the sheltering of a
fanatic soldiery whose design is to overrun the
South without any provocation whatever. The
Capitol must have cost $50,000,000 or more, aud
its internal structure, and its thousands of com
partments, possibly, set off with richest finish and
embelishments, render it one of the very grandest
piles of architecture in the world. Mr. Liucolu is
of their rifles, thereby indicating their intention to
cherish and protect those gentle confiding ones
even at the point of the bayonet. Near the time
the train was expected, they were again assembled
and had a short exhortation and Prayer from Dr.
Thompson, committing them to the care of our
Heavenly Father, who rules all things for our
good.
At half past eleven the cars arrived with compa
nies from Eatonton, Twiggs and the Baldwin Blues
front your city, with one general huzza for old Wil
kinson. We there had a scene which beggars des
cription ; a combination of joy aud tears—all in
good spirits however, with the will aud strength
to do good service iu the cause of our country’s
freedom Lincoln’s armies may walk over their
dead bodies, but conquer their brave spirits never,
never.
A hearty God speed to you, gallaut young sol
diers, our sympathies and prayers go with you;
Should you return worn down by fatigue, aud per
haps disease, there are others to fill your places, for
“ our country a nd our rights,” is our motto forever.

form, plain, neat aud substantial. Thursday the
25th inst., they all met at the Court House to re
ceive marching orders from their gallaut Comman
der, Capt. Win. O. Beall. Several speeches were
made, aud assistance given, in what was more
substantial—money for their benefit; over one
thousand dollars was raised. Tbe Capt. stated that
he had Bibles from Dr. Thompson to distribute
among them. Rev. Mr. Hughes was called ou to
offer prayer in their behalf, as it was perhaps tho
last time they would all meet iu their company

devoted prayer it was.
Orders were given for every man to meet at Sta

friends-that assisted them.
On Friday the crowd collected early at the Sta

present, from old men aud women, down to little
children. The company was formed near the
Ware house, and an address made to them by Miss
Thompson. I did not have the pleasure ot hear

COMPANY ROOMS, l
Baldwin Blues, April 25th, 1861. )
At a called meeting of the Baldwin Blues, regu
larly organized, and fully attended, the following
Resolutions were read and adopted :
Resolved, By the Members of this Corps, unani
mously—now that we are on the eve of departure,
to join the Volunteer forces of the Confederate
States, that language is inadequate to express our
gratitude for the abundant manifestations of kind
ness ou the part of our fellow-citizens generally.—
Not only have our hearts been animated by words
of confidence and praise, hut our acknowledg
ments are due and are hereby tendered for still more
substantial endences of good-will. It will be our
highest pride to justify, by our bearing in every
emergency, this exalted confidence in our patriot
ism and bravery.
Resolved, That the liberal contributions to our
Company, desigued especially to protect front
want the families of.our needy volunteers, elicit
our profoundest thanks. It will inspire the
soldier’s heart and nerve lus arm with power,
when he reflects, that the segis of friendly protec
tion is over “loved ones at home.”
Resol veil, That we are indebted in au especial
manner to the fair daughters aud noble matrons
of our community, for their kindly offices, encour
aging sentiments, aud fervent benedictions, in pre
paring us for tbe perilous duties ot our mission.—
Tbe recollection of such kindness will animate us
.o deeds of victory, or console us in the hour of
death.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting
be published iu the newspapers of this city.
Capt GEO, DOLES, Chairman.

JOHN BELL IN THE FIGHT.
Unanimous Feeling of Resistance to Mr. Lincoln's
War of Subjection.—It having been made known
that Hon. John Bell would address the people at
the Court House last night ou the condition of
public affairs, an immense crowd assembled. He
spoke for about three-quarters of an hour, stating,
in effect, so far as present duties and responsibili
ties are concerned, the past is a sealed book. The
time for action and unity of action in the South had
arrived, and he was for standing by the South and
defending the South, all the South, against the
unnecessary, cruel, unjust and wanton war which
is being forced npou ns. He recounted, at some
length, the efforts which lie had made in the past,
aud especially with the present administration, to
avert this war, aud the hopes he had cherished for
the preservation of peace; but those hopes had
now vanished, and our duty was to defend our
selves and to make common cause with all our sis
ter slaveholdiug States of the South against a com
mon invading foe. lie advocated a strong and
effective military league, or union, among all the
slaveholding States, for the successful prosecution
of the war; but declined to discuss the question
relating to the time and manner and character of a
political connection, which he considered more ap
propriate for a future time. He was for arming
the State, and organizing and equipiug the militia,
in the amplest and most effective way possible tin
der tbe circumstances.—Sashcille Pat. '24th inst.
Position ok General Scott.—The Richmond
Dispatch of Monday has the following report from
Washington, which is undoubtedly correct.
On Friday, a Virginian here, in company with
Robert Oultl, the District Attorney, called ou Gen
eral Scott. The Virginian said :
“ General, I have here in my hand the evidence
of Virginia’s secession. Do you iuteud to support
your State ?”
Geueral Scott, looking np very petnlautly re
plied :
“ No sir; I intend to support the Stat s and
Stripes of my country.”
Geu. Scott, it is said, is not on friendly terras,
or even holds verbal conitnnnication with three
members of the Cabinet, viz : Seward, Chase and
Cameron.
Rhode Island.—The Legislature of this State has
met in extra session. Gov. Sprague appean d at
the opening of the session, and made an address
to the Senate, impressing npou the members the
duty of sustaining the Government iu this crisis.
His remarks were warmly applauded. A bill was
immediately passed antlioiizing the raising of a
regiment. It is understood that $500,000 will he
appropriated. >

Arrival of Iht lllliiary.
The Georgia railroad train of yesterday evening
brought to our city two voluuteer companies—the
Banks County Guards, Capt. Casulzr. and the
Madison Home Guards. Capt. Rein. They were
escorted to their quarters by the Kiehtnond Hus
sars and the Irish V olunteers.
The Augusta and Savannah railroad train also
brought several companies—the Baldwin Blues.
Capt. Doles, the Twiggs Volunteers. Capt. Folsom,
the Wilkinson Rifles. Capt Beall, aud the Brown
Rifles, Capt. Nisbet.
These Companies were received by the Clinch
Rifles, aud are now quartered in camp near the
Augusta and Savannah Railroad Depot, where, we
presume, they will be mustered into service.
The Banks County Guards left for Savannah
last night.
The West Point Light Guards are expected to
arrive ltere this morning, by the Georgia Railroad
train.—slug. Con. 27th.
Defences of New Orleans.—The New Or
leans Delta says the government of Montgomery
has appointed a Commission forthe augmentation
of the naval strength of that city. It is composed
of Commander L. Rousseau. Commander E. Far-
ren and Lieut. Chapman. The commission has
for its object the purchasing or contracting for a
certain number of gun boats, ship-rigged propel
lers of 1000 tons burden, capable of carrying at
least one iU-iuch and tour 8-inch guns. These
vessels are to be well built, t f light draft and great
speed, suitable for our waters. Their plan of con
struction is such that they will be able to cope with
the largest ships, while they will afford one of the
chief, if not the only protection to our city in case
of a maratime invasion.
This Commission, which Is now in New Orleans,
has already entered upon its duties with great
alacrity. The ship-builders of Algiers have been
visited, aud plans and specifications have beeu
drawn up and entered upon, and everything ne
cessary for the transmission of the contractors’
bids to Montgomery has been arranged
Mrs. Gen. Gaines.—“Hertford,” the Wash
ington correspondent of the Petersburg Express,
says Mrs. Gen. Gaines, the successful termination
of whose case before the Supreme Court was treat
ed of in a late issue of the Express, is now prepar
ing to leave for the location of her newly reclaim
ed wealth. It is said that in less than twenty-four
hours after the case was decided in her favor, she
had au otter for marriage. Whether or not she
accepted has not yet come to the eyes of the pub
lic. Certainly her suitor displayed great taste, uot
only for woman but for gold.
Death ok Capt. McCoxxei.l.—We regret, says
the Mobile Register of Sunday, to be under the
painful necessity of chronicling the death of this
gallant officer, which occurred at the residence ot
Major Hessee yesterday. The deceased was an
accomplished officer and gentleman. He was for
merly of the United States Army, and resigned
and became the Commandant of the Georgia Mili
tary Institute. At the time of his death he was a
Quartermaster in the Confederate service. His
funeral takes place at ten o’clock this morning,
from the residence of Major Hessee. The Mobile
Cadets will form a military escort.
Kerosene Oil, which in its pure state is uot ex
plosive, lias recently been adulterated by dealers
with camphene aud other cheap substances, mak
ing it very explosive. Several accidents have re
cently happened in consequence, causing injury
and even death. The effect of such unscrupulous
conduct in dealers will be to discredit Kerosene,
aud cause its disuse by any person who has a re
gard for his life.
Patriotic Ladies of Sashcille, Tr.nn.—Th’e ladies
of Nashville, to the number of upwards of three
hundred, met on Saturday last, and organized an
association for the purpose of making clothing,
and rendering any assistance iu their power to
those who may volunteer to defend the South.
Mrs. Jas. K. Polk was elected President.
The Tennessee Riflemen, a company composed
entirely of German residents ot Nashville, Tenn.,
were the iirst to tender their services to the Gover
nor, for the defence of the 8tatu and the South. All
honor to our true-hearted adopted citizens!

A PROCLAMATION.
By JOSEPH E. BROWS,
Goccrnirr of Georgia.
W HEREAS, by the oppressive and wicked
conduct of the government and people of
that part of the late United States of America,
known as the anti-slavery States, war actually ex
ists between them and the people of the Southern
Suites, and whereas, the President of the United
States lias issued tiis proclamation, declaring his
determination to blockade the ports of tbe South
ern States, and is now collecting federal troops up
on Southern soil, for the mirpose of subjugating
aud enslaving us ; and wlwcas, property belong
ing to the citizens of the site of Georgia, w hen
ever found within the anti-sfcrery States, is seized
and forcibly taken from itsmvners; and whereas,
all contracts made with the iSemy during the exist
ence of liostilith s, are, by tli«aw of natious, illegal
and void, and all remedies f« the enforcement of
contracts, in our Courts, beft een citizens of this
State and citizens ofltite Stati* now making war up
on us, w hich were m^^^triur K> the commencement
ot hostilities, are susj^fodedKill the termination of
the wars; aud whereas,language of the law
of nations ‘'the purchase nKbills on thevnemy’s
country, or the remission all deposit of funds
there, is a dangerous aud act, because it
may be cherishing the resowcesrtod relieving the
wants of the enemy; and tie reimksiou of funds
in money or bills to subject; of thcNmeinv is un
lawful;” and whereas, sottid policyXes well as
international law, absolute^ forbids that any eiti-
izen of this .State shall, tinier any pretext whatev
er, assist the enemy by remitting, paying, or furn
ishing any money or othej thing of value, during
the continuance of hostilities, to the government
or people ot the .States which have waged and arc
maintiiining a most unnatural and wicked war
against us ; and whereas, justice requites that all
sums due from citizens of this State to individuals
iu such hostile States who do not uphold and sus
tain the savage and cruel warfare inaugurated by
their government, should be promptly paid so soon
as hostilities have ceased, aud the independence
of the Confederate States is reeognized bv the fov-
erumeut of the United States.
Therefore, iu view of these considerations, I,
Joseph E. Blow n, Governor aud Commander iu-
Chief of the army and navy of the State of
Georgia, do issue this my proclamation, com
manding aud enjoining upon each citizen or inhab
itant of this State, that lie abstain absolutely front
all violation of the law above recited, and that he
do uot under any pretext whatever, remit, trans
fer, or pay to the government of the United States,
or any one of the States composing said govern
ment, which is known as a ftee-soil State, inclu
ding among others the States of Massachusetts,
Rhode Island. Connecticut, New York,New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, and Ohio; or to auy citizen or in
habitant of any such State, auy money, bills,
drafts, or other thiugs of value, either in payment
of auy debt due or hereafter to become due, or
for, on account of, any other cause whatever, un
til the termination of'hostilities.
And I hereby invite each citizen or inhabitant
of this State who is indebted to said government,
or either ot said Stat-’s, or any citizen or inhabitant
thereof, to pay the amount of such indebtedness,
whenever due, iuto tin* Treasury of Georgia, in
auy funds bankable in Augusta or Savanuab, or
to deposit the same su^ect to the order of the
any one of the solvent
ities, or in auy legally

positor in funds bankable inMttgusta aud Savan
nah, with seven per cent interest from the date of
the deposit, so scon as hostiliti® shall have ceas d
aud it shall again be lawful for|ilebtors to pay ti e
same to creditors iu the hostile States above men
tioned. This will not only afford to such of our
citizens as owe money to Northern creditors, w h ch
international law and public policy forbid them at
present to pay, a safe investment and the highest
security for its return to them at the end of the
war, but it wilj enable them, in the mean time, to
perform a patriotic duty, and to assist the State,
aud through her the Confederate States, in raising
the funds necessary to the successful defence of
oar homes, oar firesides, and oar altars.
And I do farther command and strict Ur enjoin
upon all and every chartered Bank in this
State, which may be in possession of any note,
bill, draft, or other paper binding any citizen of
this Slate to pay money to any ene of said hostile
States, or any inhabitant or corporation thereof,
or be I raging to any such State or person, to ab-
-U : b from protesting any such draft, bill, note,
or other paper: Frvmdcd, the person liable 'B
such bill, dm^^ote, m other paper, will exhibit

from the performance ct anv official act for the
protest of any paper of the character above men
