To the Reserved Mil'tiz ef Georgia:
A Into correspondence with the Ptesident of the
Ceaf'derate Suren natislie* niv mind that Georgia
i* to bo loft to her own resource* to supply the re
inforcements to (Jon. Johnston’* army, which are
indispensable to the protection of Atlanta and to
prevent the State from being overrun by the ovar-
whel aiing -.'umbers now under command of th*
Federal Ge-t<*rnl upon our soil. The officer*, civil
and military, who eonsrituie, in a great degreo,
»ho remaining active militia force lelt the State by
the different acts of conscription, have alroady
been calle.'’ out and have rendered effective ser-
vioo, while they, as well as the two regiments of
the State Line have distinguished themaelTea by
tool Courage and intrepid valor when attacked by
the eneaiy. _ But then, is need of further reinforce
ment*, a* will be Been by the accompanying Utter
ef Gen. Johnston; and while a very large pro
portion ,©f the gn 'atit and chivalrous sons ofGeor-
gia aro on distant fields defending the soil of oth
er States, it becomes hty dnty to call forth every
man in the State able to bear arms as fast as they
raa ho armed, to aid in the defence of our homes,
•nr altars and t he graves of our ancestor*.
I am fully aware of the importance of the grow
ing crop of the Mate, and have delayed this call
a* ior.g as the exigencies wiii possible permit, to
enable the people ta do ilw labor necessary to se-
earvthe tr> -p. is the Sot.thorn portion of the
State, it i* fcsdove.l ti-is wii! be accomplished by
th* tune rhU procb.maTion can be generally pub
lished, while, ten .lays or tw.. week* longer will
enable those i:. rhe N(«'t-!teta half of the States to
da most, of their leimr ucca-aary to make the crop.
I the. ff-'.io, by virine of the authority in me ves
ted by the ier. of riffs State, do hereby order ict>
ftctiooMfintniy service a!, that part of the reserve
militia of this Hih*c i: etwees .lie ages of 50 and 55
years, arc .-\tl between it e ages iffsixteen and »er-
•ntecit ye vs. win reside fo-vith of a ilac running
Fast and West across the territory of the Stxt'e.
pacing through tl'o airy ofMecon, to report to
General G. >V. Smith m Atlanta, with the least
possible dr lay 4 aud i further order, that all per
son* between said ages subject to militia duty,
who reside North Of of said line, report t* Gen.
Smith, each leaving his home on the 2®th of this
month, and repairing to Atlanta by the nearest
and speediest route.
I also order all free white male persons in this
State between the ages- of seventeen and fifty
years-w ho are exempt from confederate Conscrip
tion, and are not absolutely unable to do militia
duty, which disability must be shown by tha cer
tificate of a gorged, properly appointed under tha
lasTs 6f this State,to report with the militia of their
respective bounties, as ihey are subject to Stats
miiitiaduty. . And I further require all frte whit*
male persons between said ages in this State, not
ia actual military service of the Confederacy, ex-
espt as herein exempted, to report also, as I cannot
suppose the President will claim as exempt from
militia duty m this great emergency, the large
number of able bodied young men who have Con
federate details to attend to Tarious industrial av
ocation* and pursuits, in which they have no mili
tary service to perform. It cannot surely bo th*
intention of the Confederate Govormnent to place
a large, number of yonng men able to do service,
is the organization to keep them out of the bullet
department. Henee, I claim thoir aid in th* field
till this emergency is passed, and direct, in case of
th*ir refusal to report when others embraced in
the-call respond, that their neighbors who are go
ing to camp, arrest them and compel them to go.
The time allowed, enables those of them who are
plasters, to lay by their crop*, or to approximate
s* aear to completion, that serious injury cannot
gr#w out of tneir abscence. While little damage
will be done by the temporary abscenee from their
places, of confederate Tax Assessors, Collectors,
Tanners, Mechanics,secret service men, See., &e..
as their business mast eease entirely, if the enemy
everrass the- State. All whe respond to this tail,
are reqaired te arrest and cairy with them all de
serters within their power at the time they start to
damp.
The tallowing persons are net embraced in this
•all. All commissioned officers of the Csnfodor-

sffiesrs and others exempt from militia dnty by

Letter fr#m Looisiana.
CmaroK, La., June 20th, 1834.
Major General Cauby, who was sent down from
Washington as a sort of overseer over Banks and
Steel has brought back a portion of the whipped
army of the frontier, which Banks was tremen
dously hurrying to New Orleans, it is conjectur
ed that eur •‘Commissary General” was atraui of
au advance of Confederate troops upon ti.e city
by way of Doualdsonvillo aud the river reads,
aud so ho hastened on down hitnseif, leaving his
army to follow behind. Cauby came down and
arrested the movements, stopped the troops at
Point Couppce Lavish, and n;id reinforcements
from New Orleans brought up. Banks, however,
still remains in the city, his last appcarai.ee there
being at a big “nigger” celebration at I laced’
Ariues. Who hall immediate coixinifli'd ot the
Yankee troops on the other side ot ii.r riv r is;
uncertain. Buell was ordered down, hut liuKi f
became disgusted on some point of rank, it is said, j
and has either resigned the service, or ticen thrown
overboard altogether.
The Yankee army is now cowering on the wfst
bank ot thr river, afraid lo go :m > i .<- interior on
account of Lick Tay ler, who is watch:t.g * .>r them
to come out from the protection ot tn-j:) gunboats,
like a cat watching for a mouse to come out from
his hoi*. Meantime, I learn from very good au
thority that desertions from the enemy to 1 aylor
are constant. The. deserters are su-nt te Texas,
where there is plenty to eat, and plenty ot wo;k to
do. Desertions occur on this side of the river from
Baton Rouge and Fort Hudson, and for several
week* they have been coming here at trie rate of
from two to six a day. Yesterday a Lieutenant
cam* in—a Kentuckian—who could stand it no
longer. A day er two ago four came in, with
their horses, guns, pistols and ammunition. Gen
erally, however they sell their horses and arms
for whatever they can get, buy citizeus’ clothes,
and seek employment on plantations.
Banks is not only weakening Iris own army, but
strengthening ours. A threat of a draft, or some
thing else, ha* caused an exodus *f a considera
ble number from New Orleans and Baton Rouge,
who preter fighting on our side, if tight they must;
and our forces aro thus made daily strouger. It
is hoped that Lincoln will not remove Banks from
Now Orleans—for, in addition to being the best
commissary and provider of ordnance the Con
federate armies svsr had, his services as recruit
ing officer for us will ever be held in grateful re
membrane®.
Marmaduke’s batteries up the river, which ar
rested navigation for a week or two, finally be
came so troublesome that au expedition was sent
there to drive them off. Marmaduke hearing tLey
were coming, quietly retired with his guns, and
“fell back” into the interior. Just as the enemy
wore songratnlating themselves that the naviga
tion ef the river was once more unobstructed two
batteries opened on their boats nc-ar Port Hudson
ob this side of the river, and for two nights gave
every passing craft—gunboats and all—a most
lively and interesting time. Damage was done,
too, but how much we do not know. Probably
Maraiaduke will turn up again in a few days, in a
fresh place, and we shall hear another Yankee
howl ef indignation at the conduct of the “guer
illas.” T rnTy the navigation cf the great river,
like th# way of the transgressor, is hard.

Gentlemen: Yonr letter ef th* 14th inst., for-
mnlly notifying me that I have been nominated
by the convention you represent, for the Presiden
cy ef the United States, for four years from the
4th of March next, has been received. The nom

the esnvsntian, called the platform, are heartily
approved. While the resolution in regard to the
sapplantiag ef the republican government upon
th# Wsetern continent is fully concurred ia, there
might be misunderxtanduig were I wot to say that
tbs position ef the Government in relation to the
action ef France in Mexico, as assumed through
the State department, and endorsed by the con
vention aineag the measures end nets of the Ex
ecutive, will be faithfully maintained so long as
th* stats of facts shall leave that position perti
nent aad applicable.
I am especially gratified that the soldiers end
seamen were noi forgotten by the Convention, as
they forever must and will be remembered by the
grateful comntry for whose salvation they cevote
their lives.
Thanking you for the kind and eomp'imentary
terms in which yoa have communicated the nom

HOLDEN’S TREASON PROVED.
It has been rharged by Governor Vance ir
speeches that Holden’s declared pu pose i;
Convention peace movement he inaugurate!
j*ar. was to take the State of North Carol in i
of the Confederacy It wd be renienui; rod
whilst iu Raleigh, the State journal - ‘n :..>d
again charge* Holden with treasonable pntpn- «■
and cautioned the people and the an dm; it,ion
against him. Let that pass, however, f tbs ; i.»a
ent aad let a* come to the charge or.eniy m ,.'r by
Oov. Vanrc, Holden unequivocal', do* imi iho
charge in ihr two Iasi issues of his ; d Go-.*
Vanes was put to the ne**..*sss.-y of pre-v ; >v r -—ami
th* proof is now before us in the columns of the
Raleigh Conservative, which w« yester
day from a passenger by the Palelyh ‘Min.
Itsesms that Gov. Vance made tic* charge upoa
the authority cf four members of the pre.-ent
House of Common*—Messrs Hampton anti AVt l-
born. ef Wilke* ; Mr. Horton, of Wautauga, and
Mr. Gentry, of Ashe—all‘‘Conservatives.” Hol
den. with his usual disregard for truth, having
denied th# charge, we have in the paper before us,
letters from each of the above gentlemen proving
th* damnable treason of Holden in the most posi
tive manner. Vfo will lay this testimony before
our readers to-aiorrow and let them see that the
gallows had been so far cheated out ef its full
ansa.
X. J. Walk**.—Robert J. Walker has not ig-
■red seech in tke papers of late—indeed, hardly
bean heard ef at all. Ws know the reason now.
Last Ostobsr his health was impaired by- an osenr-
rence in London. Hs went up in a balloon,being
ovor^parsuadsd by some of his friends. The bai
lee* rose tw* end s half mite* within about seven
asiusts*. Owing to tbs fact that the Governor
had ret provided himself with a ehange of cloth
ing. aad th# fall of the thermometer 28 degrees,
aad th* increased rarefaction of the air, conges
tisn of the lungs snsiiod, followed by a copious
flow eEblood from them. He left for Italy on the
1st ef March. But it was not uatil he drew near
te Alexandria, Egypt, that his health materially
improved.
War tbx Pirates Bobu Prizes.—CaptSemme*,
of tk# rshsl stsamer Alabama, requested the Lon
don Times to insert the reason* why rebel ernis
•rsburm tkeir prises and his suggestions for a
remedy. The eommuaication fills two column*
and e half ef the paper. Ho *ays it was bis in
Untie* to have sent all his prizes for adjudication
into th* ports mo*t convenient for the parties
concerned; bat bis intention was frustrated by
the British Order iu Coaueil. Capt. Semmesasks,
was it expected that be woeld abandon the right
ef capture altogether, or that he would bo guilty
•f the cUild’a play of capturing the enemy’s ship*
with one hand and releasing them with the other?
Farther, He inquires what inconvenience to Great
Britain, for example, could possibly have grown
ent ef the fact of th* eaptur«d vea*ol lying quietly
in the pert ef Liverpool in charge of a ship keep
er aud prize agent tin'-il she could he adjudicated ;
and if she should be condemned, why .should nhc
not have been a» quietly gold as if she had been
seised and sold under any elocution for debt.
Capt Sen me* takes credit to himself and hi* offi
cers for every ship set on fire, insomuch as they
sacrificed their own ehances of prize money to the
good ef th# iebe! government.
INVASION OF MARYLAND!
A force under Gen. Early has g**ne into Mary
land, occupying several towns, and levying con
tributions from the inhabitants. A requisition
was mad# on Hagerstown fi»r $20,0*0 (in specie)
and fifteen hundred suits of clothing for the Con
federate soldiers, which was paid. Much damage
has beeu done to the Ohio and Baltimore railroad.
All communication with Baltimore by railroad
and telt ?raph has been ent off, except on th# line
to Washington, and no doubt this haa been done
before now. There is a general panic among the
Union inhabitants, whi'e tke $eerasi*nis!s are
quite cheerful.
A train from Philadelphia was raptnred, witb
Gen. Franklin as a passenger. Oea. Tyler, wbo
had been previously captared, made his escape.
The Banks and Insurance eflire* in Beltiaaore
have removed their effects t<* a vessel, to await the
course of events. Refuges* are poeriug into the
city from all quarters. Arrangements had been
made to remove th* public archives from Annap
olis.
Gunpowder bridge on the Philadelphia railroad
was burned on th* lith and also a in* ears and
the mail.
The fine country residence of Gov. Bradford,
near Baltimore, was burned, ia retaliation for th*
burning of Gov. Letcher’s mansion in Virginia.
The house of Mr. Cochraa, th* Naral Agent, was
burned. The Confederate cavalry were withia
three miles of Baltimore.
The distance between Baltimore and Washing
ton is forty mile*. It is probable that Early’s
forces were divided, as part ef them war* in line
of battle near th* first tell gate on Seventh street
road, three miles from Washington, eit 11th iast.
Their shells were falling withia tw# mile* of the
centre of the city. Eight or tea hensse aear Xar-
ly’s lines had been destroyed hy the Yankees to
prevent their boiug used as a dsfeace to th* rtbtls
We anxiously await farther intslligeae# from
this new field of operatioas.
fir Gen. Early, in command ef Ewell’s corps,
infantry and cavalry estimated at If,000. has cap
tured Harper’s Ferry, with its valasbl# stores, and
has gone into Maryland, heading toward Pennsyl
vania, to the great eenstsrnatisn ef th* Yankees.
Gov. Curtin has celled eat the militia of his State
aud Gov. Seymoar of New York has called ent 11,-
000 militia for 100 days to stop th* marsh of the
rebels, into Yankeedom. Ws ere net safflcisntly
advised of the purpose ef the expedition, te say
whether Baltimore or Washington, or seat* other
locality is the main object in view. It is quite
probable, however, that a di»#rsi*n of Grants forc
es from Petersburg has had its influsnscea the
movement.
In the Thomasvill* Tieiss ef 7th inst we
noticed more than two coluais filled with acknowl
edgment* of contributions from tha eitissns of
Thomas county, for the sisk and wexadid soldiers
of Gen. Johnstoa’s army. Net. only was tkere a
large variety, such as turkeys, chickeas, eggs, but
ter, lard, sugar, coff.-e. rie*, vinegar, fiour, meal,
bread, crackers, pies, potatoes, rxt*up, pepper, ar
row-root, sage, honey, onions, mu*tsrd t dried beef,
peas, jellies Arc., but the quantity seemed to be
without stint. We counted 153 hams, which at
an average of 12 lb would amount to 1836 pounds.
At $3 per pound, the valuu of ham* alone would
be $5,508. Other things wore in proportion. One
gentleman gave 23 gallon# of rrine, and mei# than
a dozen others gave liberally of this refrashir.g ar
ticle. Syrup was al»o freely esntribnted, from
quantities of 5 gallons, down. In this list th* la
dies are prominent as donors.
9 GORDON SOLDIERS’ WAYSIDE HOME.
We have the pleasure t* announce te our Wil
kinson friends that Col. A. II. Kenan has received
subscriptions to the amount of seven thousand
dollars for this patristic establishment.
Gen. Dix has been arrested hy warrant un
der the instructions of fllor. Seymour, for his late
order suspending the publicario* of the New York
World.
H e** Lincoln has declared Martial Law in Ken
tucky, a,.d has appointed th* 4th ef Augmtas'a

L5F* Capt. Ssmmes ef the Alabama, challenged
too U. S steamer Kearsage. Capt. Winslow. The
vessel* engaged about ten miles »ff Cherbourg,
France, and after exchanging sh*ti far an hour,
ihe Alabama sunk, with some twenty or thirty of
her crew. Capt. Seuinies was saved by the Eng

mediately raised to rsplaee the sword he had
lost. It is expected that h* will ssaa take charge
of a better vessel.

MILD AND MEEK!
For twenty or thirty years, a very pious gentle
man by the name ef Brownlow lias been instruct
ing the public in the double occupation cf editor
and£ preacher, iu East Tennessee. He lias beer,
soslous in Securing the political welfare of men
while liVing. and their happiness after de;vrh.—
About six years ago, lie visited Philadelphia to
overthrow, in personal argument, the errors of an
Abolitionist by the name of Pyre or Pryne. A
book was published giving the controversy,which
is said te have yielded a hands, me profit to Mr.
Brovrnlovr, the honest champion of slavery as
taught in the Bible.
When the war between the North and the South
commenced in 1861, Mr. Brownlow was still editor
and preacher, habitually observing the courtesies
of the press and the pulpit. Ilis amiable temper
was proverbial. That so placid and gentle a char
acter should be excited, even by the atrocities ot
war, was & great public misfortune. He should
have persevered in his meek and affectionate ex
ample. to win men to virture and humility. That
Mr. Brownlow has been throw n off his guard on
several occasions during the war, aud that he 1 as
uttered rash thoughts, is too generally known for
successful abnegation. Not concurring wi.h the
people of his native South Mr. B. has become quite-
a favorite in the North, where he has been feasted
and exhibited as a prodigy. He lately \i.-;ited rlie
city of New York, where he addressed a meeting
for the relief of sick and wounded soldiers in r he
Yankee army. His refined nature gushed foi th in
the following strain of universal empire :
Aad if 1 had the power, Sir. I would arm and
uniform in the Federal .habiliments, every wolt,
and panther, and catamount, and tiger, and b?ar
iu the mountains of America; every crocodile in
the swamps of Florida and South Carolina ; every
negro in the Southern Confederacy, and every
devil m hell and pandemonium.
This war, I say to you, must he prosecuted with
a vim and a vengeance, until the Rebellion is pul
down, if it exterminates from the face of God Al
mighty’s green earth every man, woman, and
child south of Mason and Dixon's line. [Cheers. ]
You have not felt the effects of the w ar in the
loyal States, but you are going to now I know
that little man Grant—he is the right man in the
right place. I am willing to see Richmond cap
tured by hint ; but, if 1 had my wav, I should
skoose that Richmond and Charleston should be
taken alone by negro troops, commanded by But

Sherman has got the finest army in all the world
—not less than 150,•()(), all told. He is gradually
advancing into the heart of the Southern States.
He will take that country, Grant will take R.ch-
mnn4. And we will crowd them into the Gulf of
M exico and drown the entire race as the devil did
the hogs in the Sea of Galillee.
When we come out of the w ar we will come out
with 500,000 or 600,000 of the best of soldiers, who
have got their hand in and would as soon have
their hand in a little longer as not. Then I am in
favor of giving Old Englad a turn. [Cheers.]
We can whip the Southern Confederacy ; we
•an take in France and England, the whole civil
ized world, and I want to carry it on iffitil we whip
out all Ged’s creation.
TST We hope that a cheerful response to the
calls of the Governor of Georgia will be given by
all Georgians who are able to bear arms. The
time has arrived for every citizen to become a
soldier. Tke post of honor and ot duty is now at
the front. This is no time to discuss political ab
stractions. Our very existence as a people is in
jeopardy. \Te shall triumph, if every man is
faithful to his trust.
iy Gen. Bragg is in Atlanta, where he arrived
within the last week. He has had an interview
with Gen. Johnston, at the headquarters of the
latter.
NEGRO HELP.
The New York correspondent cf the London
Time# thus refers to a late speech made by Wen
dell Phillips who is the princa of Abolitionists :
Mr. Phillip* confessed his shame and humilia
tion at the thought that twenty millions of white
people iit the North had gsue down on their knees
aad implored the assistance ef black men and
slaves for the work of conquering half the number
of white men in the South. It might be thought
that Mr. Phillips, entertaining such seEtiments as
these is ready to do what Messrs, Lincoln, Sew
ard, Grecly, Everett and others were ready to do
iu lbfiC—let the South depart without further
hindrance, recognize its independence, and ad
vise his countrymen to do the same. But no word
te that effect is to be found in his remarkable
speesh. He compared North and South to an ea
gle and a fish chained to each other. The eagle
eonld not live in the water, nor the fish in the air ;
and one of the two had to die, in order that the
other might live. But why, i f might sc asked,
should either die? Cannot each return toils own
element by the severance of the chain that con
nects them? Mr. Phillips meant as much bin
sseais to have lacked the courage to say so.
WHIPPING THE YANKEES.
Messrs. Editors Recorder: For months past, the
veterans uader the well known, far famed and
efficient General Johnston, have held the over-
wkel ming numbers of the vandal hordes of the
North at bay. None of us doubt the military skii!
and ability of the strategic Johnston None of "s
want confidence in his gallant army; but we learn
that more men are wanted, not because those al
ready iu.the field are not as good as ever shoul
dered a musket or drew a blade, but because wr-
need more iu numbers. Now, 1 propose that we,
the slave owners of Geoigia, proceed at once to
the front with every negro that is physically able
to bear arms, and make our negroes (that are ful
ly competeut) whip out their Northern biefltreu
at once and be done with it. I am an old man.
I have been once, and am willing to ga again and
take my negroes with me, and think every other
man friendly to the cause should do likewise.
Please urge this thing upon the readers of your
paper and our cause is safe. J. S.
Iruinton, July 11 th, 1864.
Messrs Editors:—Again I hare the pleasure of
acknowledging the following donations for our
sick soldiers. And now tiiat we have so many
with ue, lot us exert ourselves in actual practical
benevolence ; let each enter with a generous ri
valry with his neighbor in the good work of tak
ing care of these our noble defenders.
Let the people from the country come in with
their fruits and vegetables, chickens, eggs, butter
and fresh meats, and those in the city be active in
preparing these articles for the sick. To our 1 -
dies w# make no appeal, for we are certain they
will do all that charity or kindness demands; al
ready have the hospitals been thronged w ith those
who are ready and anxious lo watch and tend the
sick, and cheer them with their presence. Then
•t nene of us be backward in the good work ef
soothing and comforting them in their loneliness.

A comrade in arms (Joseph Bond Beall) writes
“Every one that knew hitr. loved him both officers
and men,” He was a brave and upright youth,
and leaves many friends to mourn his early death.
A brother of the deceased was killed in battle last
year, in Geu, Lee’s army of Northern Virginia.
Died, on the 7th June, at Staunton, Virginia,
from a wound received on the 6ti: of May in the

Regiment, aged 25 years and one mouth.
Private Chas.T. Mason, aged 24 years and 8
mouths, was killed during the severe artillery fire
at Spotsylvania, on the 1 Ith of May, 1864.
Charlie was au ardent secessionist, and volun
teered at the first outbreak of the war, determined
to sustain, to far as lay in his power, tiie great
cause of Republican independence—a cause dear

tain his patriotic resolve. As a member of the
glorious 10th Ga. Regt. for three years he partici
pated in its ever varying fortunes, and with the
exception of the first Manassas, lie was >: partici
pant in every g^ieral engagement fought in the
Virginia and Maryland campaign. He always
bore himself witi that bravery characteristic of
the true Southern^. The writer has been inform

“Let me say as a stuarger to you, though a friend,
none were loved and respected more than Charlie
was by all who knew him, iti his company he was
