IN
S-p>a,rt<SL ? Oa.
rriHE METROPOLITAN HOTEL has re-
-1- cently been thoroughly repaired and enlarg
ed, so as to furnish accommodations for a large
number of guests. It is now one of the most com
fortable and convenient Hotels in the up country.
1 here is a Barber’s Shop attached to the Hotel i
also, good Stables and open lots for the exhibition
of Horses and Mules.
Conveyances to he had. at the House at any time.
The tabie will be furnished with tbe. best that
the Hancock county Market affords, and that serv
ed up in a style to suit the most fastidious.
The proprietor, thankful for the very liberal en
couragement he has received daring the short time
he has been in the business, hopes to merit a con
tinuance of the same; aud by sparing neither
pains or expense, to render all comfortable who
may favor him with their patronage, intends that
this Hotel shall be second to none in the State.

Proposed Contribution for wants of soldiers—
Proportionate share of each Cenntjr,
Comptroller General’s Office, }
Miiledgevilie, May 22,1861. $
His Excellency Joseph E. Brown.
Sir :—In compliance with yonr request con
tained in an address to the People of Georgia, un
der date of the 17th iust. I herewith furnish you an
approximate statement of the “amount which would
he the just proportion of eaeli county, should each
determine to contribute its part of the one million
dollars proposed [by j our Excellency ) to be rais
ed,’’ “to be used by tbe State in equipping and
and providing for tbe wants of the Georgia troops”
now or that may hereafter be in the service of the
country, during the present war.
This statement is made upon the basis of the nett
amount of tax paid into the State Treasury from
the several counties, for the year 1860. It is only
an approximate apportionment, however. The
rule iu this office in relation to prompt payments
by Collectors is quite stringent. The consequence
is, that, if ou the 20th December in each year, (the
day of the “final settlement,”) Collectors fail to
have their insolvent lists at this office as the law
requires, they have to pay into the State Treasury
tin- w hole amount of the tax of their counties, after
deducting the Receivers and Collectors commis
sions. This enables the Collectors to take their own
time to obtain their insolvent lists without detri
ment to the State; and the same are allowed, if
correct and in due form, and the money refunded
for them whenever presented at this office. A
large number of Collectors make their settlemeuts
in this way. Many have already sent forward their
insolvent lists, and have had the amounts of their
over-payments refunded to them, w hile the Gener
al Tax of 1860 is still indebted to a respectable
number of counties for their insolvent lists. Until
these come in, there is no arriving at the precise
amount to be apportioned to each county ; but hav
ing made allowances for the same, I think the fol
lowing apportionment would not be changed inate-

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, )
Adjutant General’s Office, '
Miiledgevilie, Ga-, May 18, 1861. j
As the Confederate Government does not, at
present, furnish clothing in kind, to the Volunteers
called into its service, but a commutation therefor
in money, every Volunteer ought, when mustered
iu, for his own comfort and health, to be sufficient
ly provided with articles of uniform and dress to
meet his immediate wants, aud for the probable
necessities of at least three months.
It is therefore recommended that each Volunteer
will, as far as practicable, present himself at the ren
dezvous, where he is to be transferred into the ser
vice of the Confederacy, provided with the follow
ing articles of uniform and dress, viz:
1 Coat, or Jacket, (as may be the uniform.)
2 pr. Tronsers.
1 Uorage or Fatigue Cap.
2 Flannel blurts.
2 pr’s. Drawers.
3 pr’s Socks, Woolen or Cotton, Woolen best.
2 pr’s Bootees, Ankle or Jefferson, or Brogans
with lull broad soles, and low fiat broad heels.
2 Colored pocket Handkerchiefs.
1 light Black Neck Tie.
. 1 Comb.
1 strong Pocket Knife.
1 small Tin Cup.
1 Iron Spoon.
1 Knife, 1 Fork.
It would be well, also, if each man took with
him a flannel band, of from 8 to 10 inches wide,
provided with strings to be worn over the abdo-
meu, (next tbe skin,) for tbe prevention of camp
diarrhoea or dysentery when exposed to damps, or
on the iirst indication of a change of habit.
Rea for flannel shirts is to be avoided, as it pre
sents an excellent mark for the enemy. Gray or
li/aearethe better colors.
High or narrow heels to the boots or shoes should
not be worn, as they are injurious to the feet.—
Bootees are far preferable to boots of any kind iu
summer.
Such articles as are not worn or carried about
the person to be neatly packed iu, or to be attach
ed to the kuapsack or valise.
To facilitate arrangements for securing a regu
lar supply of clothing from Lome, it is recommend
ed to Companies to consider the advantage ofturu-
ingover to the Captain, or other responsible agent,
their commutation, as paid, to be applied in such
mauner as may Lave been determined npon. ,
It is essential to the health of the soldier, wheth
er in barracks or in camp, that he be clean in per
son, regular in habits, aud physically exercised.—
Tbe two first can be attained by dividing eaeh
Company into four or more squads or messes, and
assigning to each a subaltern, or non-commission
ed officer, to supervise the persons, habits, and di
et of tho men, who by a word of friendly counsel
when required may correct neglect in either. The
third, or physical exercise, rests with the Captain
or Commander of the Company, who, for his dis
cipline and efficiency, should in some manner or
other employ his men actively every day.

Louis XI, when young, need to visit a
peasant, whose garden produced excellent
fruit. Soon after he ascended the throne,
this peasant waited on kirn with bis little
preseut, a turnip, the produce oi his owu
garden, of an extraordinary size. Tbe
King, smiling, remembered the boors of
pleasure he bad passed with him, aud or
dered a thousand crowus to be given to
him. The Lord of the village, hearing of
his liberality, thought within himself—“If
this peasaut gets a thousand crowns for a
turnip, I have oidy to present his Majesty
with a handsome horse, and my fortune is
made.” Arriving at court, he very polite
ly requested the King’s acceptance of one.
Louis highly praises the steed, and the
donor’s expectations were raised to the ut
most, when the King exclaimed—“Bring
me my turnip!” and added, as be present
ed it to the nobleman, “there, this cost me
a thousand crowns. I give it you in return
for your horse.”
The servant at No. 1 told the servant
at No. 2 that her master expected his old
friends, the Bayleys, to pay him a visit at
Christmas ; and No. 2 told No. 3 that No.
1 expected the Bailies in the house every
day ; and No. 3 told No. 4 that it was all
up with No. 1, for they couldn't keep tbe
bailiffs out; whereupon No. 4 told No. S
that the officers were after No. 1, and that
it was as much as he could do to prevent
himself from being taken in execution, and
that it was killing his poor dear wife ; and
so it went on increasing, until it got to No.
33, where 4 it was reported that tbe detec
tive police bad taken up tbe geutlemau
who lived at No. 1, for killing his poor
dear wife with arsenic, and it was confi-
dautly hoped and expected that be would
be executed, as tbe facts of the case were
very clear against him.
There was a singular problem among
the stoics, which ran to this purpose:—
‘‘When a man says, ‘I lie,’ does he lie or
does he not? If he lies, he speaks the
truth ; if lie speaks the truth, he lies.”—
Many were the books wriiteu upon this
wonderful problem. Chrysippus favored
the world with no less than six; and
Pbiletus studied himself to death iu his
vain endeavors to solve it.
As tho ditnond is found in the darkness
