In all parts the Sure swell is manifesting itself CoirespoDdenceoftheTelegraph 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 ?

Why tell us, as our oral rs frequently da. that we are the most warlike ptreple upon the face of the earth; that from rue nature of the circumstances which sur round us. we are soldiers from our very birth, .four rulers do not furnish us with the mea.ns . displaying our warlike ability, and do not prepare us for the necessity of doing so ?

His prayer was not answered. The time has eome and we now must grapple with the foe. The first lias already been ■ fired—the first blood hi * already been shed— a Southera State has been invaded, and the I shades of her slaughtered citizens cry for ven geance. Another year, unless the conservative masses of the North shall rescue the ballot box es from the fanatical horde that now control them—an iher yeir will, in all probability, 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 ern sisters? Weakness, indifference and irres olution invite contempt and aggression. i Energy, decision, strength, courage, resolu ! tion and preptration command respect and fear. Shall we become a hissing, a reproach, a by word to the free and the brave for all time to come? If not kt us be up and doing. Let our 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 tions. undenalue and oppose them, but it is hoped there are true men enough in the State to lay them to heart, and act upon them. SOUTHRON. TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION. We read an account lately of a new method of '•raising the wind.’’ which takes down anything in the did«Uing line we hat e heard of for some ti me. A female called lately on a lady of some in fluence; and told a sad and plaintive storv of suf fering and privation, and moreover, that hex 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 beheld the coffin, and was satisfied that al was right; and not wishing to borrow the feelings of the bereaved woman, she lett her> considerable sum of money and immediatriv departed. Af ter passing two or three blocks from the dwel ling. thinaing all the way of the strange com plexions to which we are liable, she missed her pocket-hankerchief, and returned to s«e if she had not dropped it in the house. The stairs were ascended hastily, and the room entered without much ceremonv. when what did she be hold?—He rowwn’e titling up in the eoffin. eouAZing <eter the money. . couple wishing to be married last week, j tn Dubuque, found that their favorite minister ■’ bad just started for the East.
