Milledgeville,Oct. 27, 1863 43 4t
The following Preamble aud Re.o-
lulions were passed in tlieSenate unan
imously:
Preamble and Resolutions of* Mr. Ad
ams, ol’the23th District,-introduced in
the Senate and read Tuesday, ihe 10th,
1S63.
Whereas, at a session of the General
Assembly of the Stale of Georgia, in
theyear 1861, the iollowing resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
General Assembly, that the separation
of these States now forming the Con
federate Slates of America from the
United States is, aud ought to be, final
and irrevocable, and Georgia will, un
der no circumstances, entertain any
proposition from any quarter which
may have for its object a restoration or
reconstruction oftlie late Union on any
terms or conditions whatever.
Resolved, That the war which the
United States are waging upon the
Confederate Slates, should be met on
our part with the utmost vigor and en
ergy, until our independence and na-
From tlie New York Herald.
The New York Democracy, against the
Richmond Rebels—The Issue /airly
made and squarely met.
The Richmond Enquirer, in one of
its recent issues, devoted an editorial
article to‘the questions of peace or war,
setting out clearly and succinctly the
only terms on which the war could he
brought to a close and peace restored
to the country. It lays down its prop
ositions in the following language.
e> o o
Save on our own terms we can ac
cept no peace whatever, and must fight
till doomsday rather than yield an iota
of them and our terms are:
Recognition by the enemy of the in
dependence of ihe Confederate Slates.
Withdrawal of the Yankee forces
from every foot of Confederate ground,
including Kentucky and Missouri.
Withdrawal of all the Yankee sol
diers from Maryland, until that Slate
shall decide by a free vote whether she
shall remain in the old Union or ask
admission into the Confederacy.
Consent ou the part of the Federal
Government to give up to the Confed
eracy its proportion of the navy as it
stood at the lime of secession, or to
pay for the same.
Yielding up all pretensions on the
pari.of the Federal Government to that
portion of the old Territories which
lie west of the Confederate Stales.
An equitable settlement, 041 the basis
of our absolute independence and equal
lights of all accounts of the public-debt
and public lauds, aud Ihe.Aadvantages
accruing from foreign treaties.
It will be seen that there^ is no un
certain or equivocal demand here—no
clause capable of a double construc
tion—no room lor the enlerance of the
least little bit of a doubt.
“Submit to all we ask or have ever
asked, or else we will fight you till
doomsday.”—That is the formula of
the Richmond rebels, as announced
through their principal organ—the En
quirer.
What response to that challenge
conics fioin the loyal States ? The
friends of the Administration, the Re
publican and the Abolitionists, need
not be enquired of. But how about the
Democracy ? How about those who
are stigmatized as copperheads and
rebel sympathizers ? Let us see. Ou
the very evening of tfieuday the Enqui
rer arlicie was published in the journ
als of this city there was'a great meet
ing of the Democracy the Cooper
Institute—a meeting in Avjiich some of
the most ultra copperheads of N. York
participated, and where cheers were
given for Vallandigham—and there,
among other resolutions reported and
adopted, was the following:
“Resolved, That the Democracy of
the city of New York, in general meet
ing convened, again reiterate and de
clare their unyielding opposition to all
men and to all factions who in any
manner, seek to impair or destroy the
glorious Union of the United States as
a great Confederate republic; that vve
will uphold and maintain the Union at
all times and under all circumstances,
by all the means in our power, and
that we will never consent to or permit
any arrangement by w filch it shall be
either destroyed or endangered.”
It was from the Democratic party of
the North that the first secession of
Southern fire-eaters took place, in the
National convention at Charleston and
Baltimore, in 1S60. The Democratic
party of the North has since supplied
many of the ablest generals, truest pat
riots and bravest soldiejrs to the work
of subduing the rebellion. And now
again vve see—despite some miserable
defections.like those of Vallandigham
and others—that the Democratic patty
of the North is the most resolute and
determined in the policy of conducting
the war so as to “uphold and maintain
the Union at all limes and under all
circumstances.” The rebels may make
up their minds, therefore, that they
have no friends at the North, and that,
however desperately and obstinately
they may persevere in their wicked at
tempt to destroy the republic, they
must eventually be crushed under the
mighty resources oftlie loyal States.

throughout the
lionaiity are unconditionally acknowl
edged by the United States.
Resolved, That Georgia pledges her
self to her sisier Stales of the Confeil-
thal she will stand by them
struggle—she will con
tribute all the means which her resour
ces can supply, so far as the same may
lie necessaiv to ihe snppoit of the com
mon cause, and w ill not lay down arms
until peace is established on the basis
of ihe foregoing resolutions.
And, whereas, the enunciation of
said resolutions are as truly the expres
sion oftlie people aud position o! Geor
gia to-day as at the time of their adop
tion—and, whereas, the meet ing of an
other General Assembly of the State,
after the lapse of two years more of
si niggle lor independence, presents an
occasion peculiarly appropriate to flic
renewal of these declarations, aud that
the world may know that Georgia does
not tire of the war until her purpose is
accomplished,- nor abate anything o'
the spirit and determination manifested
!»v said resolutions. Wherefore
Resolved, That this Senate and House
of Representatives in General Assem
bly met, with a fixed and unalterable
purpose to stand by them, do re-aflinn
and re-udopt said resolutions in their
letter and spirit.
Resolved, That the Governor cause
copies of these resolutions to be trans
mitted to ihe President of the Confed
erate States and to the Governors of the
several Stales oftlie Confederacy, and
also to the President oftlie Senate and
Speaker of the House of Representa
tives in the Confederate Congress, with
the request that the same be read be

Chief Coleejctoiis’ Office, )
Forsyth, Nov. 3d, 1863. f
Rdiior Telegraph .*■ Perhaps some per
sons may desire to learu the progress of
the collection of . the Confederate tax in
this State.
Collections were not commenced until
about the 1st of September. Thus far the
monthly collections have been as follows :
September $486,758 16
October 863,795 39
$1,350,553 55
The first 3 days of Nov. 152,897 71
$1,503,451 06
In a little over two mouths, oue and a
half millions of dollars have been collected
and deposited with the Confederate States
Depository in Augusta. There will he
collected in Georgia probably hot less than
$20,000,000 annually. Rut this tax, heavy
as it may seem, ought to be increased, and
iu conjunction with fttudiug, the present
inflated state of the - currency may be re
duced.
Under tbe circnmstauces by which we
are surrounded, the only absorbents of an
excessive issue of notes by the Govern
meut are taxation and funding, or loaus to
the Government. No other can be advis
ed. It is not iu tlie power of the Govern'*
ment to reduce the circulation by contrac
ting its issues aud refusing loans and catl
ing in its debts, as it is iu banks in their
ordinary business.
Tbe people must pay taxes heavily, and
cheerfully, and willingly. No one expects
them to board Confederate notes as they
do specie. They must then come to tbe
relief of the country by making loans to
the Government—in other words, by fund
ing. It is a duty they owe to themselves
as well as to the Government. The amount
of the notes now in circulation must he re
duced, or ruin will iuevitably follow; and
when there are but two ways to effect the
object, patriotism, duty, self-interest, all
call for their adoption. Then jet tbe tax
es be increased, and paid without com
plaining. Let loans be freely made to the
Government, and all will yet be well.
If any fact I have communicated, or any
thing 1 have said, will tend to give confi
dence in Confederate notes, I shall be grat
ified. E. G. CABANISS,
State Collector, C. S. Tax.
Saving Stock.—In impressing beef and j
bogs for tlie army, au eye should be had
to tbe importance of preserving a suflicien
cy of stock for breeding purposes. In some
sections of tbe country, nearly all tbe
milch cows have beeu takeu for beef cat
tle, and iu others scarcely a hog is to he
found. If the war continues two or three
years longer—-as. it probably will—the
great mass of the pcoplo will be compelled
to live on little or no meat.; and in order
to do this, they ought to plant out orchards
and vineyards, cultivate Chinese sugar
cane exteusively. and devote great care to
the raising of poultry of every description.
We are iu for a long aud wasting war, and
to come out of it successfully, those who
are not lit for field service must determine
to live frugally, and to spare no efforts to
feed and clothe the soldiers who have to
do the fighting.*,
What disposition do the Legislature of
Georgia propose makiug with the “Dog
bill?” Dogskins are now. in- great do
maud, and are almost necessary to the
manufacture of cotton cards. Dog oil is
also very useful for tanuing purposes.
Wool getting very scarce, and cauiues
continue to increase daily. Provisiuus
also are getting alanniugly, scarce, and
whilst there arc thousands of dogs in
Georgia, all of which have to eat, there are
thousands of poor orphan childreu who cry
for bread. What say our new legislators
on this subject l We hope that portion of
them who pledged their faith on this
question will not become oblivious.

1 Mischievous Story Contradicted.
Nochaway, Nov. 14, 1863.
Mr. dishy : I understand there is a re
port in extensive circulation in S. W. Geor
gia, and published in tbe Sumter Republi
can, that I bave lost fifteen negroes from
tbe use of Chinese cane syrup. As your
paper is very generally circulated in this
section of ibe State. I hope you will pub
lish this note correcting tbe report. There
is not one word of truth in it. It is whol
ly and gratuitously false, and I am tbe
more anxious to correct it, because I sus
pect it was put in circulation by some de
signing, heartless speculator, who wished
to alarm the planters, and thus secure their
syrup for less than its market value. I
give each one of my grown negroes a quart
per week of it, ami they are very fond of
if, ami I consider it a nutritious aud per
fectly harmless article of diet. Indeed, I
am so much pleased with it as an article
of food, amt tlie large quantity which can
so easily be made of it. that I bad long
since determined to raise it more exten
sively next year than over before.

A SmitiTED Tennessee Woman.—Short
ly alter tlie Federals occupied Knoxville,
oue of their officers had tbe presumption
local! upon a Miss Luttrell, one of tbe
belleS of the city. Her fathci is a straight
out Unionist. Miss L. is, however, a strong
Southerner in her feeliugs, and treated her
Federal admirer accordingly. A corres
pondent of the Knoxville Register writes
thus about the affair:
“Not very many days ago, au external
ly elegant Federal officer called on Miss
Luttrell, beAdilig in iris card. Miss L. was
passing through the hall as the negro ser
vant girl handed her the carte de cisite. At
that instant too, the Yankee officer enter
ed. Miss L. turning to the black Judy,
said, iu tlie hearing of the exquisite, ‘Here,
Judy, ibis card is yours; attend to your
beau/
The officer, in blank astonishment, stared
for a moment into tbe face of grinning Ju
dy, ami suddenly left in iuteuse disgust.
The cowardly villain sought to avenge
himself by insulting Miss Liutrell on the
street afterwards. Of course nothing else
could have been expected from him. Miss
L. served him right.
Obi. Jeff. Forrest, the brother of Gen.
Forrest, whose death lias been so univer
sally deplored, still lives. He was shot
through the hips. He is now at tbe house
of Oapt. Steele, a mile and .a half from
Tuscuinbia, and is doing well. On tbe
first day ot bis scries of fights, he had with
him five mon, and Forrest pursued by a
large number, took refuge in an accessible
mountain cove. He and his comrades
killed twenty-eight of tlio enemy, among
them a Colonel, a Major and two Cap-
taius.—Knoxville Register.
The Pkisoneks of War in Richmond.—
Tbe Richmond Dispatch of Saturday says:
“The morning report of tbe Libby prison
yesterday shows the following number of
Yankee prisoners now in the prisons in
and around Richmond : Prisoners of war,
12,747; citizeu prisoners, 3; negroes, 22;
total, 12,775.' Among these are 953 com
missioned officers of different grades, from
Brigadier General down to Third Lieu
tenant. There are also SI smgeons in
the lot. Seven hundred of these prison
ers were yesterday sent to Danviile, aud
700 will be -sent daily to that point until
4,000 are thus disposed of. It is under
stood that several thousand will also be
sent to Lynchburg.”
Roman Catholic Generals.—‘The N.
Y. Herald says that four of the most im
portant; Federal military departments are
comma tided by Roman Catholics—South
Carolina by Gen. Gilmore, North Carolina
and Ei stern Virginia by Gen. Foster, tbe
Army <:f tbe Cumberland by Gen. Ilosen-
cranz, »nd the Army of the Potomac by
Gen. Meade.’

Dreadful Calamity.— We are inform

Punishment of Extortioners.—The
Legislature have decreed to punish the
keepers of gambling bouses with the lash,
and jt is a pity they had not adopted a
punishment as severe for the worst kind of
gamblers—speculators and extortioners.
The “tiger” ruins a few people, who
have themselves to blame as much as tbe
tiger tor tbe distress which they suffer.
But the extortioner fastens his fangs upon
innocent victims, aud grows fat upon the
life blood of tbe wholo community. The
most efficient punishmeut which can be
adopted for these criminals is to put them
all in the army. Not one mau convicted
of such practices should be permitted to
remain in civil life. It would then be
Yankee fight Yankee, and if they were
all slaughtered, the world would be better
and happier.— Rich. Dispatch.
“A Prussian officer, who was w'alking
in tbe garden at Potsdam, during the vis-
itol the Statistical Congress, eutired into
C mvcrsatiou with an English savant. The
latter, after a time, expressed his surprise
at finding a Prussian officer speak English
so well. The officer replied that there
was nothing astonishing in that fact, as
his wife ami his mother iu-law were both
English. ‘Might 1 veuture to enquire the
uaine of your inotber>iu-law ?’ said the
English savant. ‘Queen Victora,’ replied
the officer, who was no other than the
Prtuce Royal of Prussia.
