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. Lieutenants. Butts, Jones, Conner. W. H.

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. WRIGHT & BROWN.

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.

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.

Having thus exhibited the operations cf the Treasury for the past twelve mouths, I have deem ed it not inappropriate to allude to, and make an approximation to tbe ordinary receipts and expen ditures of the ensuing fiscal year. The anticipated receipts into tbe Treasury for the fiscal year 1862, may be stated as follows: From general Tax of 1861, $585,000 00 Net Earnings Western A A. Rail Road, 438,000 00 Tax on Banks, 31,000 00 “ “ “ Rail Roads, 11,688 56 Bank Dividends, 27,141 00 Rail Road Bonds bought of Penitentiary, 11,000 00 Miscellaneous Items, 5,000 00 Add Balance after payin'; tions for !e6L $1,111,83256 appropria- 20,885 86 $ 80,000 00 74,050 0(> 16.000 Ou 25.000 00 143,500 00 231,865 00 12,000 00 8,000 00 7.000 00 2.000 00 2,500 00 5.000 00 150 00 1.000 00 800 00 300 00 400 00 And we have a Total of, $1,132,718 42 The demand upon the Treasury, for the same year, will approximate as follows: To pay members of the Legislature, “ Civil Establishment. 1862, “ Contingent Fund, 1862, “ Printing Fund, 1862. “ Reduction of Public Debt, “ Interest on Public Debt, “ Support of pau, er patients, Lu natic Asylum, 20,000 00 “ Salary of Superintendent, Luna tic Asylum, 2,100 00 “ Salary of other officers and ser vants, Lunatic Asylum, “ Support of pupils, Deaf and Dumb Asylum, “ Support ot pupils, Academy for the Blind, “ Support of the Cadets, Ga.

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 How to get Repose in Old Age.—I strongly recommend you to follow the an- alogy of the body in seeking the refresh ment of the mind. Everybody knows that both a man and a horse are very much re lieved aud rested if instead of lying dowu 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. Lord Brougham. ilex, II. Stephens. 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.
