Provided, That if the President in calling out troops into the service of the Confederate States shall first call for only a part of the persons between the age of 3-5 and any other age less than 45, and appotion the same be tween the several States, Taking into consideration their relative population between the ages of 35 and 45, and the number of troops already furnished to the army bv the respective States tinder former acts—so far as the same may be practicable without departing from the principle of calling out troops according to age; and Provided, further, That in estimating the number of troops called out under former acts, each State shall be credited with all the companies mustered into ser vice from said State. Sec. 2.

Sec. 3.

It is no doubt true, as charged, that the exorbitant prices of food and the miser able spirit of speculation rampant in the land, are in part due to the excess of the circulating medium, .There is too much money about; and here we may say, en passant, that note is the time for every body to get out of debt. The unhappy man who neglects this golden opportunity to pay hi- 0 debts because he can neglect it, and leads until he is compelled to pay, is a ninv, and will discover the fact in dne time.

S. A : Sir—I have the honor to acknowledge j the receipt of the enclosed resolution of; the Senate, requesting you to give them j information concerning the pay and ap pointment of Provost Marshals. The army regulations provide for the employment by a Commanding General or a General of Division, of Provost Mar shals, who are charged with the custody of prisoners, and the performance of po lice duties. In garrisons non-commission ed officers are usually assigned to these duties, but, with armies of the field, de prived as they are of the assistance of the civil authorities, and often incumbered with large numbers of prisoners, the du- 1 ties become more difficult aud important and commissioned officers are detailed for their discharge. It will be observed that Provost Mar shals are employed, and appointed; other wise officers of the army, already hold ing commissions, could not be assigned to such duty without holding two distinct appointments from the government. It having been found that large amounts of public property at our principal depots, and the peace and good order of many of our towns were endangered by the numer ous stragglers from the army, and camp- followers hanging about them, and that desertion from the army was encouraged by the want of persons at those points au thorized to make arrests, the Department employed Provost Marshals, and vested them with authority over all persons in the army found within their respective limits. They have no authority whatever over persons not in the army, except where mar tial law is in force in which localities their police powers are extended to citizens as well as soldiers. Whether martial law exist or not, they are expressly prohibited by a general or der from exercising civil jurisdiction, and the Department has checked them in all cas«s in which the exercise of such juris diction has been made the subject ot com plaint. Many of the Provost Marshals of posts where martial law is not in force have fall en into the error of supposing themselves to be clothed with general police powers, but the Department has invariably inform ed them when such cases were brought to its attention, that they could derive the power to arrest citizens from the civil mag istrates only. Their compensation is usually fixed at that of a captain of infantry but in some few cases they have been allowed the pay of field officers. The reference to the ar my grade is merely for the purpose of fix ing their rate of compensation and does not confer on them grade or commission. The employment of Provost Marshals and provost guards is essential to the pre servation of public property, to the peace and good order of our chief towns and to the very existence of the army. They are paid by the Quartermaster’s Department because the army regulations require that department to pay the inci dental expenses of the army, including generally all proper and authorized ex penses for the movements and operation of the army, not expressly assigned to other departments. Provost Marshals being essential to the operations of the army and not being chargeable to any other department, seem properly to he assigued for their pay and allowances to the Quartermaster General’s Department. Very Respectfully, Your obedient servant, GEO. W. RANDOLPH, Secretary of War. From the London Times. THE CIVIL WAR IN AMERICA. If the object is to damage the South, and to inflict as much damage to property, and loss to life as possible, then, no doubt, the President may go on, giving blow for blow years to come. Men can always light with one weapon or another, so long as they are alive and able to use their limbs. It is a mis take to suppose that money, or tolera ble supplies of food, clothing, or ordin ary comforts are necessary to the work of cutting throats, blowing out brains, Distressing Accident.—We were pained few days ago of the sudden death of Mr. Thomas C. Billups, <>t this place, under the following painful circum stance: Mr. Billups was a member of a cavalry company, stationed in Liberty county. He with some of his comrades, was on his way home, on furlough. Having been on , guard duty one or two nights previously, j the party went to sleep soon after getting j on the cars. When they arrived at Mil- j Jen, Mr. Billups was missed. I pon re turning, his companions learned that lie had fallen from the cars when they were running at the rate of twenty miles per hour. It is well known in the circle ot Mr. B’s acquaintance that lie was an habit ual somnambulist, and there is no doubt that he stepped from the train while asleep—Athens Banner. The Yankee Government—Abraham and the Press. The New York “World” claims its Republican privilege of saying “it is not always safe for the anti-Admin- istration press to say so much”— that “President Lincoln and Iiis chosen advisers must be less tenderly dealt with. The must be held more sternly to their responsibilities. They must be made to feel something of the dreadful earnestness which surcharges the heart of the people. They must learn to respect the right of the peo ple, and’ to treat the people as their masters, and not as their servants.— They must tolerate freedom of loyal speech, and renounce all idea of intimi dating the loyal press.” “We have shut our eyes to much that, in our sober judgment, was worthy of blame believing that almost any evil was less injurious than dis trust, and hopiug that time would amend all errors. Time did not amend them. It aggravated them. When it at last brought the Arbitrary arrests of loyal men, we could hold our peace no longer. Faithfulness to the cause forbade it. To our mind such a violation of law aud justice was con trary to every principle this war seeks to vindicate. It was robbing loyal minds ot their highest ideas, and loyal hearts of their holiest supports. ; It was arming the rebels with new arguments. It was providing foreign ers with new sneers. It tended to nothing but discouragement ; disgrace and ruin. We protested aginst it.— We shall continue to protest against it. We shall protest against ail things like it. From this time forth we shall do our whole duty in respect to this Administration. We shall criticise without reserve—approving and con- deming, applauding and denouncing, as freely as in the days of peace. The conviction has been forced upon us that so only can we fitly discharge our duty to the country in its awful perils. “The people are now realizing the bitter consequences of undue con fidence in the management of the administration. The abandonment of free criticism, which followed the disaster at Bull Run, and the disposit ion to trust everything to the discre tion of the President, have terminated in an accumulation of disaster and disgrace that appals and sickens every heart. • Magnificent armies beaten, incomputable treasure wasted, and two hundred thousand lives sacrifice, the capital still beleaguered, the bor der States lost, loyal States menaced by invasion—all this, too, when the enemy started with an almost absolute destitution of every war-necessary, and is still imperfectly equiped, ragged, and half famished—it is enough to drive even calm men mad. Consider ing the available means and tbe actual results, it is the most disgraceful fail ure recorded against any government in modern history. And this is the requital of the people’s confidence.— This is the fruit of deferential silence when Abraham Lincoln chose to re lieve his subordinates by making haste to assume the responsibility. It is high time that this passiveness was ended.” Legislature of Georgia. Senators. President of Senate—Hon. John Billups of Clark. Secretary—Jas. M. Mobley, Esq., of Harris. I. Chatham.
