For the
Hints Relative to a Military System for
the State of Georgia.
Georgia has no military organization, or non?
worthy of the name. And although every oth
er man is a Colonel or a Major. (God save the
mark.j there is little or no military pride and
spirit in the State To the honor, however, of
certain communities and counties be it said,
that, chafing at the unworthy and unpatriotic
apathy manifested op the subject by the Legis
lature and the people at large, they hare or
ganized volunteer companies that in material
in spirit and in drill, are inferior to none, and
to whom the people look with confidence for
protection in case of any expected or unexpect
ed trouble, internal or external which may
call for their services. But is the protecting
power sff-rded by these miLtary companies
sufficient * Is their number even enough to
form a nucleus for a military organization of
the people, should they be called out to protect
the interests and honor of the State ?
The-e companies are mostly confined to the
larger cities and towns, as Savannah, Augusta.
Macon. Atlanta and Columbus, and occasional
ly one is found in the smaller towns and vil
lage*. They are chiefiv infantry, heavy and
light, with now and then an artiherv or "caval
ry c napany. The writer has no statistics be
fore him, but, from his general knowledge on
the subject, he thinks it may tafelv be as
sumed. that there are not more than forty effi
cient, fully rranued. volunteer companies in
th- State, averaging fifty men apiece; ‘and that
the Stat--- could not, to-morrow, arm from her
arsenals more than one thousand of her citi
zi-tisu In case, then, of any sudden etneraen
ey. tna Stau could not call into the field more
tftan two thousand armed men, having a par
tial ac.piair.unoe with their duties as soldiers,
and could not. from want of preparation, call
to their aid more than one th<»usand raw re
cruits Is not this an astonishing fact * Have
our people rejected upon it ? Are our authori-
Ue' aware of it : A sovereign state with a
p pulation of one million, not abie to arm and

we to rely upon our fowling pieces and the or

The time has eome and we now must grapple

masses of the North shall rescue the ballot box

behold the sections in hostile array.
Shall Georgia postpone preparation until the
I hourfor action has actually come? Shall she
I ever be timorous and undecided, afraid to place
I herself shoulder and shoulder with her South

watchwords be organize, prepare ; re*iftanee
to is erery from retry #t#wree,
and at erery hazard.
The following outline of a military system
for the Slate is respectfully submitted to those
who may take an interest in such matters.
1. Let the State procure, as soon as possi
ble. weapo* of the different arms, and all
other munitions of war and necessary equip
merits in sufficient quantities to arm in the
most approved and efficient manner and equip
for the field at least fifty thousand men. Let
her lay in the most abundant supplies of jpow
der and ball and ready made cartridges for
small arms. Let her proceed at once to tu.an
ufacture her own p>ow-ler and weapons of war
>f every description.. Why should she depend
upon the general government and Northem
manufactories for her supplies ? In the event of
a collision with the General Government, or a
dissolution of the Union, or an extensive ser
vile insurrection supported by our Northern
brethren, they would be cut off. Lkpots of
these arm* should be established at convenient
and accessible points in different portions of
the State, and each have a suitable and suffi
cient guard.
2. Let the State require the organization in
ach county, by draftins if a sufficient number
■ of volunteers do not present themselves, of at
least one cornjiany of infantry of not less than
seventy men, and one of cavalry or artillery
; of not less than thirty-eight men, furnish them
wi h arm* and camp equipage, require themjto
drill a certain number of times por annum arid
to adopt a common uniform, to be specified by
the >:ate. and organize them into regiments,
brigades and divisions by providing for the
election of the field officers of the different
grades.
The State should encourage the training of
these troops, endeavor to inspire them with a
generous and noble spirit ■ f emulation in the
discharge of their dutie.'. and require the offi
cers to rtnu h a high standard, of proficiency.
Thus the State will always have at command
fourteen or fifteen thousand well trained troops.
. be secure against internal and pre
pared for foreign or external aggression.
I pon the members of the so or
ganized, should be conferred certain
they should be exempt from road, jury, and
parrel duty -. be allowed to bold property to the
amount of one thousand dollars free from taxa
, t; a. and to the amounx of five hundred dofiars
exempt from levy and sale. All free white male i
; citizens between the ages ot twenty-one and I
; forty-five, who are not members of any compa-
I ny. but who are capable of mi itary dutv, should
be required to pay annually into the military
fund of the county in which they live, a milita
ry tax of— dollars, as an exemption fee from
: 'iich service. The State should also encourage
the formation of as many volunteer comftanies
in the several counties, as the citizens thereof
may choose to organize, equip them, place them
upon the same fooling as the State troops, and
confer upon them the same privileges.
| Thus would the military spirit be diffused
throagh the whole mass of the people; the pro
fesJon of arms would cultivate a noble and ;>a- j
triouc spirit in sous and sires; we would be- .
come a nation of warriors, not for aggression, =
but for defence; and proud in the con«-caoto ness
ot our strength. Guarded as we would be by
might and right, we would receive dietaxion or i
interference as to our interest, our rights and
our honor, from m omree.
lhe military school should be organized on
xhe most thorough basis; the officer* of the
State troops should be admitted to its privileges
of dnil and instruction; benefi iaries should be
received from the several count.es or Congres
sional Districts, who should, after jraduatinz.
be brevetxed as third Lieutenants, attached to j
; some company in their counties or districts, and
required to give for a certain specified term,
such instruction on military subjects, as the
commanding officers of the companies to which
they are attached, or the commanding officers
of the regiments, brigades or divisions to which
' they lyi<>ng, may require. In other words,
make them for a limited time* superintendents
of school* for the military instruction of the
Stole troo[«s.
Ibe above is a mere outline of a mere collee- ,
tioo of hints, with respect to a military svstem !
if r the State. Imperfect as it is. the subject is I
! of such importance, that it should receive the
earnest attention of all who have the interest,
the safety and the honor of the State and the
South at heart.
Submis*.(mists of every shade and color
those who believe the Union to be "the para
mount political good." and the faithless of every
degree, may sneer at its warnings and sugges

hoped there are true men enough in the State
to lay them to heart, and act upon them.

husband had just died, and that she lacked the
means of decent buriaL Her tale of woe so
wrought upon the lady, that she proceeded to
visit her immediately, to satisfy herself there was
no imposture. On entering the apartment she I

of the bereaved woman, she lett her> considerable
