Preposed Contribution for wants of soldiers
Proportionate share of each County,
Comptroller General’s Office, ?
■Milledgeville, May 22,1861. ’ )
Mis Excellency Joseph E. Brown.
Sir:—In compliance with your request con-
tamed m an address to the People of Georgia, un
der date of the 1/th lust. I herewith furnish vou an
approximate statement of the “amount which would
te the just proportion of each county, should each
detcrmifle to contribute its part of the one million
tloBavs proposed [by your Excellency] to be rais-
e ’i to be used by the State in equipping and
and providing for the wants of the Georgia troops”
now or that may hereafter be in the service of the
country, during the present war.
1 his statement is made upon the basis of the nett
amount of tax paid into the State Treasury from
the several counties, for the year 1 SCO. It is only
an approximate apportionment, however. The
liile in this office in relation to prompt payments
by Collectors is quite stringent. The consequence
is, that, if on the 2Utli December in each year, (the
day ol 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
the whole amount of the tax of their counties, after
deducting the Deceivers ryid Collectors coni mis
siuns. T his 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 settlements
in this way. Many have already sent forward their
insolvent lists, and have had the amounts of their
over-payments refunded to them, while the Gener
al Tax ot 1800 is still indebted to a respectable
number ot 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 mate
rially, were ail these over-payments refunded :

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, )
Adjutant General’s Office,
Milledgeville, Ga., May 18, 1861. )
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 ougut, when mustered
in, for his own comfort and health, to be sufficient
ly provided with articles of uniform and dress to
meet his immediate wants, and for the probable
necessities of at least three months.
It is therefore recommended that each Volunteer
will, as far as practicable, present himsclfat (heren
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 je the uniform.)
2 pr. Trousers.
1 Forage or Fatigue Cap.
2 Flannel Shirts.
2 pr's. Drawers.
3 pr's Socks, Woolen or Cotton, Woolen best.
2 pr’s Bootees, Ankle or Jefferson, or Brogans
with full broad soles, and low fiat broad heels.
2 Colored pocket Handkerchiefs.
1 light Black Neck Tie.
1 Comb.
1 strong Pocket Kuife.
J small Tin Cup.
1 Iron Spoon.
1 Kuife, 1 Fork.
It would be well, also, if each man took with
him a iiannel band, of from 8 to 10 inches wide,
provided with strings to be worn over the abdo
men, (next the skin,) for the prevention of camp
diarrhoea or dysentery when exposed to damps, or
on the first indication of a change of habit.
Bed for flannel shirts is to be avoided, as it pre
sents an excellent mark for the enemy'. Gray or
blue are the better colors.
High or narrow lieels 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 in
summer. . , .
Such articles as are not worn or carried about
the person to be neatly packed in, or to be attach
ed to the knapsack or valise.
To facilitate arrangements for securing a regu
lar supply of clothing from home, it is recommend
ed to Companies to consider the advantage ofturn-
ingover to the Captain, orother responsible agent,
their commutation, as paid, to be applied in such
manner as inay have been determined upon.
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, and physically exercised.—
The two first can be attained by dividing each
Company into four or more squads or messes, and
assigning to each a subaltern, or iiou-comuiissioii-
ed officer, to supervise the persons, habits, and di
et of the men. who by a word ot friendly counsel
when required may correct neglect in either. The
third, or physical exercise, rests with the Captain
or Commander of the Company, who, fer his dis
cipline and efficiency, should iu some manner or
other employ bis men actively every day.

tered value, any law of Congress to the contrary
notwithstanding.

SEASONS OF THE HEIST.
BY BESSIE B
Suggested by the remark of a friend that the Spring
of the Heart was past with him.
When in youth’s first blissful dream
All things were a golden gleam:
When no thorn the rose displays,
When no cloud obscures the days;
When Lore first itself discloses,
And ’mid budding hopes reposes;
When each chord's a tuneful string,
Then the “Heart is in its Spring.”
When in after years we find
Fruits that were a golden rind
Were not all with sw eetness tilled ;
Yet from flowers a balm distilled
Disappointment's wounds to heal,
And New source of joy reveal:
When we learn that clouds may bring
Gifts to make the glad heart sing;
When each link hath been refined
Of the chain youth's passion twined,
’Till the dross hath left the gold,
Aud it’s purity doth hold
Nought that can the soul debase
From its own primeval grace,
But with brightest lustre glows—
Then the Heart its summer knows..
When the brow is seamed by care.
And by Time is blanched the hair;
When, though ofteu called to mourn,
Trials have Deen with meekness boru,
While thanksgiving heavenward went
For many blessings lent;
When the soul hath victor been
Over many a daiviug sin ;
When the flesh hath been subdued.
And both mind and will renewed;
When your patient toil hath wrought
Deeds with blessings amply fraught
To the rest ofhuinan kind,
By unselfish love refined,
“Harvest home” the heart will sing,
And ripe sheaves the Autumn bring.
O’er your heart may never fall
Winter’s cold, though glist’uing pall!
What if we have been betrayed,
Must we always stand arrayed
In the armor of distrust,
Watching for a fancied thrust,
Or by doubt's chill influence freeze
All that’s good above the lees ?
Though with withered hopes ’tis strewn,
Through its aisles let uo sad moan
Sigh in tones disconsolate
That the heart is desolate!
In the hour of trial look up,
And you’ll find the bitter cup
Hdny in its depths concealed,
When you deemed all joy congealed.
Pine Cottage, Florida.
[For the Savannah Morning News. J
FOR THE LITTLE ONES!
He is acting o’er the battle,
With his cap and feather gay,
Singing out his soldior prattle,
In a Blockish manly way,—
With the boldest, bravest footstep,
Treading firmly up and down,
And his banner waving softly,
O’er his boyish locks of brown.
And I sit beside him sewing,
With a busj r heart and hand.
For the gallant soldiers going
To the far off battle land,—
And I gaze upon my jewel,
Iu his baby spirit bold,
My little blue-eyed soldier,
Just a second summer old !
Still the deep, deep well of feeling
In my mother’s heart is stirred,
And the tears come softly stealing
At each imitative word !
There’s a struggle in my bosom,
For I love my darling boy ;—
He’s the gladness of my spirit;
He's the sun-light of my joy !
Yet I think upon my country,
And my spirit groweth bold—
0 ! I wish my blue-eyed soldier
Were but twenty summers old !
1 would speed him to the battle—
I would man him for the fight;
I would give him to his country,
For his country’s wrong and right!
I would nerve his hand with blessing
From the “God of Battles” won—
With His helmet, aud His armour,
I would cover o'er my son!
O! I know tbere’d be a struggle,
For I love my darling boy :
He’s the gladness of my spirit,
He’s the sun-light of my joy!
Yet, in thinking on my country,
O ! my spirit groweth bold:
And I wish my blue eyed soldier
Were but twenty summers old.

Sensible Advice.—Prof. Silliman, of
N. Haven, recently eloseil a Smithsoni
an lecture, giving the following excellent
advice to the young ;
If, therefore, you wliish for a clear mind
and strong muscles, and quiet nerves, and
long life, and power prolonged iu old age,
permit me to say, although I am not giving
a temperance lecture, avoid all drinks
above water, and mild infusions of that flu
id ; shun tobacco, opium, and everything
else that disturbs the normal state of the
system ; rely upon nutrious food, and mild,
dilated drinks, of which water is the base,
and you will need nothing beyond these
things, except rest, and due moral reg
ulations of all yonr powers, to giveyou long,
happy and nseful lives and a serene even
ing at the close
No human being, however exalted his
rank and fortune, however enlarged and
cultivated his understanding, can long be
happy without pursuit. Life is a ladder,
on which from hope to hope, and by ex
pectation strive to ascend to enjoyments ;
but he who lias l'aucied he has reached his
highest hope, or who enjoys the utmost of
his wishes, is miserable indeed ; for many
who have been most successful in their re
spective undertakings, have given the
gloomiest description of the emptiness of
human pleasures. The pursuit alone can
yield true happiness, and the most trifling
object that lias power to fascinate the
hopes of man ij worthy his attention.
Dress and Merit.—Girard, the famous
French painter when very yonng- was the
bearer of a letter of introduction to Lan-
juinais, then of the council of Napoleon.
The young painter was shabbily attired,
and his reception was extremely cold;
but Lanjnniais discovered in him such
striking proofs of talent, good sense, and
amiability, that on G’s rising to take leave,
he rose too and accompanied his visitor to
the antechamber. The change was so
striking, that Girard could not avoid an
expression of surprise. “My young friend,”
said Laujuinais, anticipating the iuquiry,
“we receive an unknown person according
to his dress—we take leave of him accord
ing to his merit.”
Let not one failure discourage yon.—
He that has had a fall may stand as up
right as be ever did.
.Time never passes 60 slowly aud tedi
ously as to the idle and listless. The best
cure for dulness is to keep busy.

and a beggarly one to a king.
lr. Rauell’i 8th Letier to the London Tines.
Montgomery, Capital op the Confede
rate States of America, May 8, 1861.
In my last letter I gave an account of
such matters as passed under my notice
on my way to this city, which I reached,
as you are aware, on the night of Saturday,
May 4. I am on difficult ground; the
land is on fire, the earth is shaking with
the tramp of armed men, and the very air
is hot with passion. My communications
are cut off, or are at best accidental, and
in order to re-open them I must get farth
er away from them, paradoxical as the
statement may appear to be. It is impos
sible to know what is going on in the
North, and it is almost the same to learn
what is doing in the South out of eyeshot;
it is useless to inquire what news is sent
to England. The telegraphic communi
cations are now broken, so are the mail
routes. Newspapers and letters now and
then reach well known people here from
New York iu six or seven days. Events
hurry on with tremendous rapidity, and
even the lightning lags bebiud them.
They firmly believe the war will not
last a year, and that 1862 will behold a
victorious, compact slaveholdiug Confede
rate power of fifteen States, under a strong
government, prepared to hold its own
against the worlc^l or that portion of it
which may attack it.
I now bat repeat the sentiments and ex
pectations of those around me. They be
lieve in the irrepressible power of Cotton,
in the natural alliance between manufac
turing England and France and the Cot
tou producing slavo States, in the force of
their simple tariff, and in the interests
which arise out of a system of "free trade,
which, however, by a rigorous legislation,
they will interdict to their neighbors in
the free States, and ouly opeu for the
benefit of their foreign customers.
Commercially, and politically, and mili
tarily, they have made up their minds,
and never was there such confidence ex
hibited by auy people in the future as they
have, or pretend to have, in their destiny.
The people of the South, at last, are
aware that the “Yankees” are preparing
to snpport the Government of the United
States, and that the secession can only be
maintained by victory in the field. There
has been a change in the war policy.—
They now aver that “they only want to
be left alone,” and they declare that they
do not intend to take Washington, and
that it was merely as a feint they spoke
about it. The fact is there are even in
the compact and united South men of mod
erate and meu of extreme views, and the
general tone of the whole is regulated by
the prepouderance of oue or the other at
the moment. 1 have no doubt on my
mind that the government here intended
to attack and occupy Washington: not
the least that they had it much at heart
to reduce Fort Pickens as soon as possible.
Now some of their friends say that it will
be a mere matter of convenience whether
they attack Washington or not, and that,
as tor Fort Pickens, they will certainly
let it alone, at all events for the present,
inasmuch as the menacing attitude of Gen.
Bragg obliges the enemy to keep a squad
ron of the best ships there, and to retain a
force of regulars they can ill spare in a
position where they mast soon lose enor
mously from disease incidental to the cli
mate. They have discovered, too, that
the position is of little value, as long as
the United States hold Tortugas and Key
West.
Listen to their programme :
It is intended to buy all the cotton crop
which can he brought into the market at
an average price, and to give bonds of the
Confederate States, for the amount, these
bonds being, as we know, secured by the
export duty on cotton. The Government,
with this cotton crop in its own hands,
will nse it as a formidable machine of war,
for cotton can do anything, from the estab
lishment of an empire to the securing of a
shirt button. It is at once king and sub
ject, master and servant, captain and sol
dier, artilleryman and gun. Not one bale
of cotton will be permitted to entre the
Northern Stated It will be an offence
punishable with Umtnendous penalties,
among which confis^nion of property, enor
mous fines and even the penalty of death,
are enumerated, to send cotton iuto the
free States. Thus Lowell aud its kindred
factories will be reduced to ruin, it is said,
and the North to the direst distress. If
Manchester can get cotton and Lowell cau-
not, there are good times coming for the
mill owners.
The planters have agreed among them
selves to bold over one-half of their cotton
enp for their own purposes and for the
cnltnre of their fields, and to sell the other
to the Government. For each bale of cot
ton, I hear, a bond will be issued on the
fair avefage price of cotton in the mar
ket, and this bond mast be taken at
par as a circulating medium with
in the limits of the Stafes. This forced
circnlation will bear interest at ten per
cent., and they will be issued on the faith
and security of the proceeds of the doty of
one-eight of a cent on every pound of cot
ton exported. All vesssels loading with
cotton will be obliged to enter iuto bonds
or give security that they will not carry
their cargoes to Northern ports, or let it
reach Northern markets to their knowl
edge. The Government will sell the cot
ton for cash to the foreign buyers, and
will thus raise funds amply sufficient, they
contend, for all purposes.
I make these bare statements, and I
leave to political economists the discussion
of the question which may and will arise
out of the acts of the Government of the
Confederate States. The Southerners ar
gue that by breaking from their unnatural
alliance with the North, they will save up
wards of $47,000,000, or nearly .£10,000,-
000 stealing, annually. The estimated
value of the annual cotton crop is 8200,-
000,000. On this the North formerly
made at least 810,000,000 by advances,
interests and exchanges, which in all came
to fully five per cent, on the whole of the
crop. Again, the tariff to raise revenues
sufficient for the maintenance of the Gov
ernment of the Sonthern Confederacy is
far less than that which is required by the
Government of the United States. The
Confederate States propose to have a tariff
which will be about I2| per cent, on im
ports, which will yield 825,000,000. The
Northern tariff is 30 per cent., and as the
South took from the North 870,000,000
worth of manufsetured goods and produce,
they contributed, they assert, to the main
tenance of the North to the extent of tbe
difference between the tax sufficient for
tbe snpport of their Government and that
