In the foregoing Table, the Cavalry Companies
are not included,—one from Baldwin, one from
Clark, one from Dougherty, and one from Rich
mond, which occur to us at present. There may
be others of which we have no knowledge. Out
of 132 counties, only a few seem not to have furnish
ed any companies at all. Besides the Regiment ot
Regulars commanded by Col. Charles J. Williams,
there are several other Regiments not counted iu
the Table, say Col. Wofford’s, Col. Boyd’s and
Col. H. Cobb’s, together with Col. T. R. R. Cobb’s
Legion, consisting in all of not less than 70 or 80
companies, which added to those represented in
the Table show above 300 companies, or about
30,000 men from Georgia, now in the field.
We shall supply the blanks iu our Table, doing
the counties justice, as soon as we obtain the ne
cessary figures. In the mean time we have given
the Table all the accuracy which our present means
of information afford, anti hope it may prove ac
ceptable to our readers.

The roll of officers in this Table is believed to be accurate; but it is possible that a few errors _
be found where the examination was so extensive, amid entries made with great rapidity, to keep
the record of commissions issued since the war commenced If any errors arc perceived, they will of
course be corrected on notice of the tact. Officers are sometimes changed by promotion, which
cumstauce is aot always notified to the Executive.

REPORT.
COMPTROLLER GENERAL’S OFFICE, (
Milledgeyille, Oct. 21,1861. )
To His Excellency, Joserii E. Brown, Governor:
Sir : In compliance with the previsions of Acts
of December 28th, 1943, and December llib,1859.
I have the honor to lay befote your Excellency a
statement of the receipts and disbursements at the
Treasury during the fiscal year 1861, showing at
the end of the year, a
Cash balauce in the Treasury of $324,105 86
The appropriations undrawn amount to $,303,-
220 00; leaving a balance in the Treasury of
$20,885 86. after paying all appropriations for
the political year 1861.
Good Assets belonging to the Stale.
In compliance also with the Act of 1859,1 here
with furnish a statement of the “Assets belonging
to the State,' 1 as shown by the books of the Treas
ury and Comptroller General's office, viz :
1,833 shares of stock in Bank of State of
Georgia, $183,300
890 shares ot stock in Bank of Augusta, 89,000
186 shares of stock in the Georgia Rail
road and Banking Company, 18,600
6,500 shares of stock in the Atlantic and
Gulf Kailnad Company, 650,000
Bonds of Rail Roads of other States,
bought from Penitentiary under
Act of 11 tii December, 1*158. 11,000
Central Bank Assets, estimated by Gen
eral Bethune, Agent, at $1 500
$933,400
Also, the Western & Atlantic Railroad
(value not be put upon the same by
the Comptroller or Treasurer) This
Road, however, paid into the State
Treasury as net*, earnings in 1859,
$420,000 ; I860, $ 150,000, aud in
1861, $133,000.
In accordance with law, the Finance Committee
of the last Legislator , directed that certain worth
less assets, hereto'lire r-ported, be left out of the
future Reports of the Treasurer and Comptroller
General, and the same have beeu omitted, as also
the old and worthless tax ii fas heretofore alluded
to and reported upon. A large number of small
Arms, Cannon, &c., have been purchased by the
State within the last year or two, but as they are
now in the hands of the soldiers of the State and
Confederate States, and as the war is still going
on and no satisfactory or reliable report can bo
made at this time relative to the same, these “as
sets” are uot included in the above statement.
Statistics of Taxables, Sfc., in Georgia, 1861.
It will be seen that the total decrease on the ,
whole property returned this year (1861) upon that
of last year, notwithstanding we are, and have
been during this year, engaged iu a war, is but
$28,418,779 or a little over four per cent But that
it may be seen upon what items of property the
greatest decrease aud increase have been made, I
herewith submit a small table of comparison be
tween the returns of I860 and 1861.

By the above exhibit, it will be seen that while
the items of money and solvent debts, and stocks
and manufactures, ar c! city and town property
have been increased, the remainder of the items
have decreased in value, and especially slaves and
merchandize. When the former very high priee
of negroes is taken into consideration, and with
free access to the world for cotton and other pro
duce, while on the other hand, when we look to
the fact that our Ports have beeu blockaded by the
enemy, and that there was and is no certainty as
to the blockade being raised this winter, sothaio ir
cotton can reach the usual market, the decrease in
the value of slaves is very small indeed. As to
the decrease in merchandize, that is easily account
ed for, from the fact that our merchants did uot
bring goods into the 8tate this spring ao hereto
fore.
The increased number of slaves in 1857 over
1856 were 9,831, the increased value was $ 13,401,-
089 ; the increased value was but $3,629,204 ; the
increased number in 1859 over 1858, were 11,240,
while the increased value was $44,154,478; the
increased number in leOll over 1859 is 6,669, while
the increased value was $31,074,450 ; the increas
ed number in 1861 over 1860 is 10,755, while the
decreased value is $30,679,365. The average val
ue of slaves in the whole State was, in 1856. $505
21: 1857, $524 97; 1858, $526 39; 1859, $612 63;
aud in I860 it was $672 61; and in 1861 it is
$590 33.
The increased value of land in the whole State
in 1857 over 1856, was $4,960,973 ; 1858 over 1857
$2,169,011: 1859 over lo58 $10,687,910; I860 over
1859, $12,217,075 ; and in 1861, the decreaso from
1860 is $140,711. The average value per acre of
land, in the whole Slate, ia 18o6, was $4 09 ; 1857,
$110; 1858, $411; te59, $4 43, and in I860, it
was 4 85. Iu 1861 it is $4 80.
The increased value ot City aud Town property
in 1857 over 1856 was $3,857,447 ; 1358 over 1857
$73 180; 1859 over 1858 $2,019,070; iu i860 over
1859, it was $3,010,101; and in 1861 over 1860, it
is $371,284.
The increased return of Merchandize in 1857
over 1856, was $2,634,811 ; the decreased return iu
1858 from 1857 was $1,368,380. The increased re
turn in 1859 over 1857 was $1,679,788 and over
1858, $3,069,176; and the increase in 1860 over
1859 was $2,045,506. The decreased return in
1861 from 1860 is $2,856,570.
The increased return of “money aud solvent
debts” in 1857 over 1856 was $5,819,295; 1858
over 1857, $5,867,286; 1859 over 1858, $7,361,-
904 ; in 1860 over 1859, it was $11,211,557; and
iu 1861 over I860, it is $5,025,619.
The increased returned in the item of “all other
property not enumerated,” Ac , in 1857 over 1856,
was $1,266,270,1858 over 1857, $2,078,041 ; 1859
over 1858 $ 4,386,233 ; iu I860 over 1859, it is $3,-
112.206 ; aud iu 1861 tiie decrease from I860 is
$822,548.
The total amount of property returned on the
Tax Digests for 1856, was $495,516,224 ; 1857,
$528,927,965,1858, $539,055,114 ; 1859, $609,589,-
000; in 1860, it was $672,322,777 ; aud in 1861 it is
$643,803,998.
An Abstract from the books of this office accom
panies this Report, as required by an act of the
23d December 1839, setting forth tbe amouuts of
the several appropriations both common aud spe
cial under their respective heads, the dates and
amounts of Warrants approved, in whose favor
drawn, and the balance undrawn of each appro
priation.
As required by act of the 26th December, 1821,
a Table "will be found showing the amount of tax
es which the inhabitants of each county iu the
State stand charged in the digests returned to this
office by the several Receivers of Tax Returns for
the year 1861 ; from which it appears that the tax
assessed in accordance with the Act of the 19th De
cember, 1860 amounts to $706,854,53. The per
cent, levied this year on property returned on the
Digests being ten aud a half cents on the $100 val
ue thereof.
Annexed to this Report will also be found a ta
ble showing the amount of per diem and mileage
of members, and pay of the officers, Clerks, Ac ,
of the last Genera! Assembly.

Showing a surplus at the end of the year of 305,-
384 42.
In the above exhibit of the anticipated receipts
and expenditures for the ensuing fiscal year of
1862, it will be seen that only the ordinary re
ceipts and expenditures of the State are included.
If the war continues, of course our expenditures
will be much heavier, and may perhaps exceed the
anticipated receipts, and another loan, or a higher
tax, may become necessary. These things, how
ever, are dependent upon future events; aud, our
enemies being so uncertain and unreliable, aud as
I bavo no idea how soon or how lato they may
come to their senses, and be satisfied that a further
war upon us i3 useless and unprofitable to them,
I have not thought it material at this time to at
tempt au approximation of what we may have to
spend next year, on account of their hostilities,
Ac. But, were the war brought to a close a month
hence, without a further expenditure than the
balance of the $1,000,0000 appropriation, this
surplus can be very advantageously used in pay
ing off the Public Debt. For, although there is
but $143,500, (6,000 due in 1859, and 10,000 due
this year and uncalled for,) of the Public Debt
due the ensuiugyear. still the State can, if it chooses,
at auy time, force in and redeem $461,560 of its
Public Debt—the State having, in 1843, reserved
to itself the right to redeem certain Bonds, at any
time after 10 years. These Bonds are due in 1863,
18C8 and 1872, as will be seen by a more full
statement, under the head of “Public Debt, in
Bonds.”
Tbe Begimeots ef Volunteers ia the Service
ef the Confederate fisieroaeot.
While reporting the expenses of our State for
Military purposes,—although not required by law,
yet I desired, if it was possible to do so, to present
the organization of the various Regiments of Vol
unteers received into its service by the Confeder
ate States Government—that is, to give the name
of tbe Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major, and tbe
Captains and Lieutenants of Companies in each
Regiment, the counties from which each Company
came and, also the number of each Regiment as
given it by the Confederate States Government.
As much of this information could only he ob-
Phillips’ do. —Win. Phillips, Army Kanawha.
L Battalion—Lt. CoL J. B. Villepigue, Pensacola.
2. do. —Maj. Hardeman, Norfolk.
3- do. —Maj. Stovall, Lynchburg, orders
[Army Kanawha.
Besides several independent companies in Vir
ginia uot yet organized into Battalions or Regi
ments.
Although in the above statement Col. Benning’a
Regiment is put down as at Lynchburg, yet for
several weeks past it has been at Manassas, and
Col. Wright’s third Regiment lias lately been at
Roanoke Islaud, N. C. I have only added to the
statement received, the word “Independent” op
posite those Regiments that were leceived by the
Confederate Government directly, and not through
our Executive.
The Regiments alluded to in the foregoing state
ment, as “nut reported,” Ac., no doubt are,
Col. T. J. Warrhen’s Regiment,
“ Levi B. Smith’s “
“ David J. Bailey’s “
“ Littlefield, “
now in Camp of Instruction in Georgia.
Iu addition to these, there is another, more than
full, Regiment, commanded by Col. Cary W.
Styles, stationed at Brunswick, Georgia, in the
service of the Confederate States’ Government.—
Also three “Iu.b'pendent Regiments” not yet full,
but iu Camp in Georgia, viz :
Col. Wm. II. Stiles Regiment, 5 Companies,
Col. E. L. Thomas “ 7
Col. Aug. K. Wright “ 6 “
Also, Col. C. A. Lamar “ 7 “
Receivtd by the Confederate Government through
State authority.
Besides these there are already three (3) Regi
ments in the service of the State, on or near the
coast to he increased to six (6) Regiments within
the m ."t twenty days, for the purpose of protect
ing the seaboard of Georgia.
Thus it will be seen that our State has at this
time thirty-four full Regiments (some more than
full) and four partially filled Regiments, together
with three Battalions, aud other independent com
panies iu \ irginia and Georgia, amounting in all
to about forty (40) Regiments in the Confederate
Government service. And besides this, there are
three (3) Regiments now in the State service to be
increased to six (6) Regiments within the next
twenty days, for the defence of her sea coast.
Of the Regiments and Battalions in the Confed
erate Government service. Georgia has armed,
accoutred and equipped twenty-one Regiments,
three Battalions, and several Companies attached
to full Regiments— all of which accoutrements,
equipments, Ac., and a portion of the arms, have
beeu paid for out of the $1,000,000 appropriation,
as will be seen in the Abstract accompanying this
Report, and from the Reports of the Quartermas
ters General

strongly recommend you to follow the an-
alogy of the body in seeking the refresh
ment of the mind. Everybody knows that

and falling asleep, or endeavoring to fall
asleep, be changes tbe muscles he puts ia
opciation ; if, instead of level ground, he
goes up or down hill, it is a rest both to the
man walking and to the horse which he
rides—a different set of muscles is called
into action. So, I say, call into action a
different class of faculties, apply yonr mind
to other objects of wholesome food to your
selves as well as of good to others, and de
pend upon it, that is the true mode of get
ting repose in old age. Do not overwork
yourselves ; do everything in moderation.

An extraordiuary, and, as it appears to
us, a most unprovoked war has been open
ed in Richmond upon tbis distinguished
Georgian whose name beads this article.
The Examiner, of that city, we regret to
find lending its talents and influence to
tbis war. On tbe whole roll of Southern
statesmen, it would have been difficult to
have selected a purer or more shining
mark for attack than Alexander H, Ste
phens. His powerful and lnminons intel
lect is only equalled by the elevation and
purity his character as a man aud statesman.
He has been always beloved by his neigh
bors, among whom be was born and raised,
admired aud trusted by his compeers in
public life, and unfalteringly sustained by
an intelligent and devoted constituency.
In bis whole public career, calumny bag
not been able to fix a speck of moral strain
upon bis escutcheon. In abort, be is a
good upright, liouest man, with a noble
heart aud brilliant intellect, that has al
ways obeyed bis mandates, and yet be is
a mark for virulent attack and detraction?
\Yo care not where it comes from, or what
the motive that prompts it, we repel it as
unjust and undeserved.
We have confidence that the people of
the Confederate States will vindicate tbe
character of tbe great and good man, by
electing him to the Vice-Presidency, which
it is the object of these assults upon him
to prevent.—Mobile Register Sf Advertiser.
Talents and Genius.—Who in tbe

what none eisc can, has genius.
