GEORGIA REGULARS.
This Regiment is commanded by Col. Charles J- Williams, and has been stationed afc Fort
Pulaski, and Tybee, until recently, when it was ordered to Virginia by the Secretary of War.
IND E P END ENT RE GIMENTS.
'Under an act of Congress, President Davis has accepted a number of companies from G eorgia,
which have been formed into Regiments. The organization ot. the latter has not been reported to
the State Executive, and therefore the officers cannot be ascertained from.the Adjutant General’s of
fice. The Regiments are generally known, however, as Bartow’s,.Conner s, McLaws’, Printup’s and
Ector’s the latter being called the Toombs Regiment. In addition to these, there will soon be in
the field, T R.-U. Cobb’s Legion, Gov. Cobb’s Regiment, and several others now in process of forma
tion Gen. Phillips’ Brigade has been several weeks in camp of ^instruction "ear Marietta, and is
soon to receive marching orders. All these show a force of about 25,000 men which Georgia has fur
nished the Confederate States, and more than double this number can be raised when necessary.
The roll of officers in this Table is believed to be Accurate; but it is possible that a few errors may
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 are perr-eived. they will of
course be corrected on notice of the fact. Officers arc sometimes changed by prp motion, wlilC^ cir
cumstance is not always notified to the Executive.

In the foregoing Table, the Cavalry Companies
are not included,—one from Baldwiu, 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 in our Table, doing
the counties justice, as soon as we obtain the ne
cessary figures. In the mean time wc have given
the Table all the accuracy which our present means
of information afford, and hope it may prove ae
ceptable to our readers.
For the Southern Recorder.
Bartow I lie Brave.
BY ISAAC H. WATKINS, OP LAURENS COUNTY.
Remember the glories of Bartow the brave,
Though the days of the hero are o’er ;
Now lost to his country, and cold in his grave,
Lo! he returns to his kindred no more.
That star of the field which so often we saw,
Its beams on the battle have set,
But enough of its glory remains on each sword,
To light us to victory yet.
The Author of Nature embellished the tint
Of the field where the battle was fought;
Nor did He ever intend a tyrant should print-
The tracks of white slavtry there.
No,—our Hero’s brave cause we’ll never resign,
Go, tell to our invaders the same ;
’Tis sweeter to bleed for an age at thy shrine,
Than sleep for a moment in chains.
Forget not our fallen companions who stood
In the day of distress by our side ;
While the moss of the valley grew red with their
blood,
They stirred not, but conquered aud died.
The sun that now blesses our arms with his light,
Saw them fall on Manassas gory grave;
Oh let no one blush wheu he Lear’s of the fight.
But rejoice that the Georgians are brave.
Among them our Bartow, the fearless, is dead,
But stem Beauregard lives to defend
The soil our patriot fathers did tread,
And their heritage with justice to mend.
Then why should foul tyranny invade,
To enslave the free sons of the South !
Rather like Bartow’ die, than ever to fade
Our green laurels wou from the cannon’s mouth.

COMPTROLLERS REPORT.
[CONTINUED. J
The Duties of the Comptroller General.
Having alluded above to the duties of
this office. Aud stated that in my opin
ion they were more than auy one man
ought to he called upon to perform, I
have deemed it not inappropriate at this
time to present the testimony in relation
to the matter, of the only twelve States I
have been able to get the information
asked for.
Judging, from the Reports of the Comp
trollers aud Auditors of the various States
received at this office, that the duties of
the Comptrollers aud Auditors in the seve-
States, were similar to those of the Comp
troller of Georgia, aud in many instances
did not equal or exceed the duties of this
office—and feeling, from experience, that
if the duties of this office were properly
attended to, one man has but little if any
time for lest or recreation, uulesshe employ
ed assistance, which I have found it neces
sary to do at different times, every year
since 1 have been in office. A year or two ago
I addressed the several Comptrollers and
Auditors of the different States, enquiring
of them as to the Salaries and Clerk hire
of their own, aud other State House offi
cers iu their respective States. I designed
at the time to present the facts thus gath
ered, in my ensuing Annual Report, but
not getting returns from all the States, I
omitted doing so. But in view of the fact
that for several years past the different
Legislatures have been putting additional
duties to this office, without any tcomplain
whatever or allusion to the same, in the
reports from this office—in view of the
fact that the Code, to take effect on the
1st of January, proposes to largely in
crease these duties, without providing any
additional assistance—aud in view more
over of the facts that the new Constitution
of the State lately adopted, authorizes the
Legislature to "consolidate any two" ot
the present State House “offices, and re
quire all the duties to be discharged by one
officer," aud presuming that the ensuing
Legislature will act upon the same—lest
my continued silence may be misconstrued,
and my acquiescence be claimed for a
seemiug popular idea that "one man" in
the Comptroller General’s office “can do
everything" I have deemed it due to the
State, due to myself, if re-elected, and
due to any other officer that may suc
ceed me, to remain silent no longer ; but
to “speak out,” and state that the duties al
ready required of this office, are altogether
out of all proportion to that required of
any other unassisted State officer, and that
the same is acknowledged and provided
for iu other States by the difference'in
salaries and clerk hire given to the several
State House officers by them. And as
the best way of substantiating this state
meut, I have thought proper to present
the following exhibit from twelve States,
from which I have the information, Geor
gia included.

It will thus he seeu that while the pay
of the State House officers in the above
named States is higher and largely in ad
vance of that paid in Georgia to similar of
ficers, it will also be seen that the aggre
gate pay ot the Comptrollers or Auditors
in these States is more than 50 per cent,
over that of the State Treasurer, aud with
in a very small fraction of 100 per cent,
more than is paid to the Secretaries of
State. When it is known too, that the
State Treasurer has to give a very heavy
bond for the safe keeping of the public
money, and is responsible for ali errors, in
payments from the Treasury ; this large
discrimination, in the various States iu fa
vor of the Comptrollers or Auditors over
the Treasurers, is remarkable, but it is so,
nevertheless. If then, there was, or is any
doubt about the matter, aud if the duties
aud responsibilities of the Comptroller are
not much greater than the others named,
is it not very singular, and most extraor
dinary, that all of these States heard from,
(and I doubt not it is the sauie case with
others not heard from.) should thus make
such a large discrimination, aud difference
iu the pay of these officers '!
As none of the above named States, ex
cept Pennsylvania aud Georgia have a
Surveyor General, and the State of Geor
gia having granted all of its land except a
few small fractional parts of Head Rights,
and the duties of the Surveyor General’s
office of Georgia, for several years past
having gradually decreased, until there is
comparatively little to do; and as the
whole busiuess passing through that office
per annum does not pay the salary of its
officer by $887 50 as will be seen by an
other part of this Report I have not thought
proper to draw any comparison in r«:latiou
to that office.
However liberal, then, Georgia may
have been for the past fifteen or twenty
years in the payment of salaries to her
other public officers, judging from the a
hove exhibit from other States, it cannot
he truthfully said that she has been very
extravagant in the salaries paid to her
State House Officers. From 1S42 to 1859
the salary of this office was $1600, no
Clerk hire being allowed except when call
ed for during the session of the Legisla
ture. But, iu 1S56 and 1858, additional
duties having been put upon the office, aud
iu 1859 a bill having been introduced into
the Legislature putting further additional
duties upon the Comptroller, aud requiring
him to make out certain statistical tables
annually for the use of the Legislature, it
was referred to the Judiciary Committee,
and that Committee after looking to the
duties of this office aud the additional la
bor imposed, reported the bill back to the
House, allowing the Comptroller General
$500 per annum for such addition service,
and recommended the passage of the bill,
and it become a law. But the Code, while
retaining these duties, aud putting further
additional duties upon this office to take ef
fect iu January next, has actually reduced
the jray ot the Comptroller $100, by plac
ing the salaries of both Treasurer and
Comptioller to $2,000 each, and omittiug
any Clerk hire.
Sum of the new duties prescribed hy the
Code.
Under this head, the Comptroller enu
merates certain new and burdensome du
ties put upon the Comptroller’s office by the
Code, which he considers not only unnec
essary and profitless but very miseheivous
in their tendencies, and calculated to des
troy the “checks and balances” now exist
ing between the Comptrollers and Treas
ury offices,— aud which he recommends the
Legislature to modify and repeal. He
then concludes the subject as to the duties
of the Comptroller, as follows :
A Condensed Statement of moslof the Du
ties of the Comptroller.
But it will be seen that it is the duty of
the Comptroller to ascertain the amounts
due by all persons indebted to the State,
and give receipts upon the Treasurer's
certificates for all moneys paid into the
Treasury daily or otherwise—To examine
and audit all accounts against the State
that may he daily or otherwise presented

ernor for the Legislature, iu which he is

improvements in the Revenue Laws, as

under their appropriate heads, all warranta
that he may check aud pass, together
with the fund on which it is drawn, the
time, amounts, and iu whose favor drawn,
aud make all entries necessary to a true
exhibit of ihe finances of the State. The
Comptroller General must also make out
in his Report, for the use of the General
Assembly, a Table, containing the Taxa
ble Property aud other items on the Tax
Digest of each county, for the year in
which he makes his Annual Report—also
a Table, annually, of the polls in each

the Treasury, and the total amouut of net
tax paid into the Treasury for the year
preceding by each county. Also, to fur
nish such other statistical information con
nected with his office as may be useful to
the General Assembly, £cc. See. Iu addi
tion to these duties, aud while performing
them, the Comptroller General has to keep
up a heavy correspondence, in writing to
receivers of Tax Returns aud Tax payers,
while property, &c„ is being returned for
Taxation, aud replying to their various
and numerous enquiries as to the construc-
tiou placed upon different portions of the
Tax Laws, at this office ; Responding to
Tax Collectors aud Tax payers as to er
rors in the Digests discovered while col
lecting the Taxes, and informing them
how the corrections are to be made, allow
ed, Sec.,— Sending receipts for taxes to
the Collectors aud giving them statements
of their accounts from time to time ; And
also replying to numerous other parties
giving them information upon other mat
ters connected with the affairs of the State,
and the^Comptroller’3 and the different
officers at the Capital. When it is thus
seen what duties the Comptroller! Gener
al hn? to perlorm, I think that your Excel
lency and the Legislature and all others
will agree with me, that this office has
more duties put upon it than any other
“unassisted” office in the State, and appro
priate as may be the putting the addition
al duties upon this offee of receiving the
Returns of aud looking to the prompt pay
ment of the taxes from Banks, Rail Roads,
Forcigu Agents, Companies, &c. &c., the
Comptroller General, without employing
assistance (which as I have before remark
ed, I have had to do every year since I
have been in office,) has but a limited
chauce to look out and detect defaulter-
ing agents of Foreign Banks. Foreign In
surance Companies, See., See., in different
parts of the Stato.
In w hat r have said above as to the du
ties and responsibilities of this office, and
while exhibiting the course of other States
uamed, in relation the sameand other State
officers, I do noc wish to be understood as
doing so for the purpose of suggesting or
recommending .any increase ot salary or
additional assistance to this office, at this
time. Such is not my purpose. For how
ever proper such a course wonid be in or
dinary times, (and I think all who will
read this exhibit, will agres with me that
under a different and more prosperous con
dition of tho country, such a suggestion or
recommendation would be eminently prop
er,) still while we are engaged in war, I
do not think that, if it can be possibly
avoided, there should be any increase of
salaries or pay auywhere, and therefore
I do not recommend it. But, for reasons
stated in the first part of this subject; and
feeling that in years past, the duties and
responsibilities of this office have not been
properly appreciated, either by the Legis
latures or tho public generally ; and, es
pecially as I think the ensuing Legislature
will in all probability take into consider
atiou the propriety or necessity of “con
solidating two of these offices, and require
all tbe duties to be discharged by one offi
cer,”—that the Legislature may have all
the information at my command upon the
subject, in compliance with that portion of
the statute, calling upon the Comptroller
General to “furnish” in his annual report
“such other statictical information connect
ed with this office as may be useful to the
“General Assembly,” 1 have thought it
proper at this time, while recommending
the Legislature to make certain amend
ments iu tbe Code, relative to the Revenue
Laws and the keeping of the accounts be
tween this office and the Treasury, to
submit tbe facts and figures above alluded
to, at tho same time.
The Boston Traveller says letters have
recently been received in that city from
the Sontb, which bad been sent to the
British Provinces iu vessels that run th§
blockade, and from there by mail.
