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, 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.

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. ^flu%rh -uv't ifitr.

From the Goldsboro" State Journal. 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.

Ilia eor.gratnlatery address in our paper to-day show* fhat h* U advancing *B JSew Qrlepns, 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 ler the Beast. 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.

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. Mr*. R. P. 2 Dozen Eggs. Mr. Jo*. Lane, Packing box. “ J. M. Gutnm, Lot Onions.

All w a* quiet at Baltimore on SOlh, and the opin ion was expressed that no part of the rebel army was within 20 miles of the city. Gilmore, Hoff man and several other prominct secessionists had been arrested. The defences of Baltimore are represented as am ple for its protection. The drinking saloons have been closed. The Bairimore and Washington rail road has be-n cut in five different places, and it will take •on e time to . repair it. The Laura! and Poin t B- tr:cli bridges v ere burnt by tho Confederates oil I2th inst. The Chronicle says, the “crack of th" rebel rifles j arc- heard in the very environs cf Washing ton.” The Star of the 12th says : “Along the entire lino this morning, the rebels present a much bold er front than on yesterday ” Prisoners taken by the Yankees represent the rebei forces iu the vi cinity of Forts Stevens and DeRu>sey, near Wash ington, as numbering 46,030. Lincoln’s wife and several members of Congress rode to the front to watch the tight on Tuesday. The Chronicle of 14th States that the rebels commenced retreating from Washington on Tues day night, .seventy five of whose wounded was left at Silver Springs, residence of F. P. Blair, Sen. The country scat of Montgomery Blair, Post Master General, was burnt—said to be a heavy loss. The Yankee papers claim great benefit to their cause from the invasion, byuniting the Northern people. Forrest and S. D. Lee whipped the Yankees at Tupelo. Miss, on 15ih inst. Nothing special from the Georgia front. The enemy failed in two attempts to cut the rail road near Nevvnan.

SxsFoaa, aged Id years, sou of Benja min F. and Rebecca Sanford of Island Creek, Hancock County He was on duty as a soldier. 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 battle ct the Wilderness, Lieutenant P. Buti.hr Holmes, (Oglethorpe Light Infantry) 8th Georgia 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 er to him, than his own life, and nobly did he sus 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 ed that at the batJe of Gettysburg, when the air raissiis of destli, and men were ike Autumn leaves, the stand- ment was shot down only a instantly springing to the ifted again the fallen nent was then fail- numbers of body liag tri field. Charlie was while in ihe army a genelal favorite with both officers and men, always cleerfnl, ever ready to oblige, and never shirking! duty ; truly hs was a model soldier. Here w hntla comrade in arms said of him, “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 the pride of both officers and men. he was alway s cheerful and no braver man ever faced an enemy, his glory was centered in one sole object, the re demption of his afflicted country. Rest assured, though Charlie is no more, he still lives in lln- inemory cf ihose of us who yet survive him, though Chanie was a soldier three years he did not have the pleasure of returning home but once during his long absence, in March 1864. only two mouths previous to his deaih, although the term of his enlistment had not quite expired he had re- inlisted for 40 years or the war, and while at home he expressed a wish to fight through the war and if it were the will of providence that ids country should be subjugated he wished to die in the iast b ittiBut now his warfare is done, calmly he sleeps far from his youthful home beneath Virgin ktV rimsonld sod no more shsli his rest be dis turbid by the crash ct uiusketi v nor the roar of I'-SLA.IRiR.IEID , In this city on the 10th inst, by P T r Thomas Turk, Esq. to Miss Sarah PgAi.no,',, 1 , ^ At the brides residence in Worth On,,.» ^ on 25th air... by L.
