It is the duty, and certainly it is the interest.
0 f every citizen of the Conledeiate States, to as-
the Government, by ali the means in his pow
er. in bringing the war to a successful i-sne. It
„. i not bo denied that the Govornmertt is doing
;-s duty: and our bravo and self-sacrificing soldiers
in the field are doing their whole duty, ltso! p-
pens that by far the largest class of our citizens,
out of the service, is composed of men ot capital
and wealth: and they have it in their p iwr to a
sist the Government as effectually as if they
were in the field. Theycandoso by giviug li'>
erally of their means to support the families ot sol
diers, and by contributing to clothe the soldiers—
many have done so, and will continue their liberal
donation* in this way. But there is another way
in which they can render very valuable assistance
to the Government; and it is to this point we in
tended to direct our remark* at the outset. One
great impediment to the successful operations of
t !,.. Government, and indeed to the progress of
the war, is the *>dnnd*ncy of our currency, and,
c msequently, the high prices of every article that
is needed to sustain the life of man and beast
Sow. if our rich men, and especially our .capitai-
i<ts, will invest their money in Confederate bonds,
aul convert their Treasury notes into the-e bonds
at si, or even 7 percent interest, they will re.duce
the tremendous circulation of Confederate -Notes,
bi-lp to sustain the credit of the Government, and
bringdown the price of articles oipim-ne-
cessityjto something like a living standard. Cori-
f-derate Notes, issued at any time pri- r to the first
of December, 1862, can be converted into bonds
bearing 8 per cent interest, until the 5
1-G:t, and after that time into bonds 1
cent interest. We would prefer to

Then let these men. and all other men who have
money at their command, come up to the support
of the Government. Let them convert their
Treasury notes into bonds at 7 per cent, it they
cannot get 8, and thus reduce the mighty bulk of
Confederate money now in circulation 1 hey
will help themselves, strengthen the hands of their
Government, and gr-atly lessen the distress so
prevalent in the country, owing to the increased
pncr-8 of all articles of prime necessity. If a man
buys a confederate bond, lie can realize money
ua.in it whenever he may wish to use it, or he
can sell it to his neighbor, or pay his debts w ith
it. The primary object is to reduce the currency
—unclog the wheels of the Government, and

of no way by which so much good can be done at

The iliffurriirr.
1 ho Washington correspondent of the Chicago
. i imes tells the world that Abe Lincoln, President
or the United State-*, is attended to, and from
the Executive office by a score or more of troop
ers, thoroughly armed and equipped. While the
President of the so called United States is moving
through the streets of his capital attended by a
strong guard. Jeffers n Davis, oui President, is
travelling alone, from Richmond to Jackson, Mis
sissippi! What a contrast! One is a despot, and
lie knows it. He tleetn when no man pursueth
for his conscience tells him he is an enemy to the
peace of the world, and the murderer ot the in
nocent. The other is the friend of mankind and
t i" idol of his people. His hands are unstained
by the lilood of man, woman or child. He fears
no evil, because his conscience is clear. He feels
a: safe in tiia streets ot Richmond or Chattanooga,
though he walk alone, as if lie had the Army of
(Jen. Lee as a body guard. Talk about freedom
in Lincoln's land! The miserable creatures who
do the bidding of the tyrant at Washington, know
that they lie when they proclaim their lord and
master the ruler of a free people.

1'ofton’and lVoal Card Manufactory iu tbo
(Jcor^in tN uilnifiary.
On last Saturday, theSJth inst.. we were shown
a pair of Cotton Cards manufactured at the Geor
gia Penitentiary. They were of Whittamore pat-
t rn. and appeared as good in every respect as the
original Whittamore Cards. We were assured
that in a few days they would be able to turn out
from two to three hundred pair a day, and in a
f w months they hope to increase the machinery,
r*o as to manufacture nine hundred per day if they
c m obtain the neces«ary quantity ot skins. For
the manufacture of Cards, sheep, dog, or goat
skitis are necessary, and people who want Cards
are requested to bring to the Georgia Penitentiary
th- skins of sheep, dogs or goals, either tanned or
untanned for which a libera! price will be given,
and those persons who pay iu skins will have the
preference over those who pay in cash, until there
are Cards enough to supply all. Bring
hides find procure Cards immediately.
By this paragraph of the Constitution, the
States reserve to themselves, in language strong
ana plain as could be used, the right to appoint
their officers to command their militia when erri-
pl iyt.il in C’c service of the Confederate States.
Each State is left, to appoint its officers in such
mmuerasit may select.
Tiie old Constitution of this State, after provi
ding that the General Officers should be elected by
tin: people subject to miiitia duty, declared that all
other officers of tiie miiitia should be elected in
such manin-r as the Legislature might direct, and
she i!d be commissioned b) tiie Governor
The new constitution of this State declares that,
“All miiitia and c muty officers shall be elected by
tii- people in such inanuer as the General Assem
bly may by law direct ”
Die Statutes of this State in accordance with
these provisions of the Constitution, provide for
the eloctiou of all such officers by the citize:-s lia
ble to bear arois: an J t iiat whenever any vacancy
shill! happen by death, resignation or otherwise it
shall be tilled bv election by the citizens liable to
bear arms, who shall become subject to the com
mand of such officer when elected.
By the above reference to the constitution and
laws of this Stale it will be seen that the policy
iixel by her. and incorporated into her fundamen
tal law for tho selection of officers is that it be
done by election, by those who arc to be subject
to the command o! the officer to fie appointed.
I'lie wisdom of this policy cannot. I think, besuc
cessfully questioned. If onr troops have confi
dence in their officers, and are cheerful and con
tented, it is naturally to be expected that they
will display more distinguished valor, and do bet
ter service ihan they could do if discontented and
unhappy, undej officers assigned to command
| them, without their consent, who have not their
! confidence, and have no fellow feeling with them.
Under the above mentioned provisions of the
I Constitution, of the Confederate States and of
I this Slate, and of the Statutes of this State, tiie
i ight to elect officers to fill vacancies is as express-
E guarantied to ttie militia ot this State eniploy-
J in the service of the Confederate States, as is
lit to select their officers by election at the
j organization of the regiment, battalion or com-
I pany.
’l’ne President of the Confedente States has
I made frequent, requisitions upon me for regiments
j ot troops, as part of the quota of Georgia. I have
| iu every such case promptly and fully responded
I to such requisitions, and have sent *“**i*in of tms
State as / ohiuUvra organized, with officers, in ac
j cirdanee wiih tier laws, into the service of the
I Confederate States.
These troops have generally been intelligent cit
izens of this Slate and have entered the service
with full knowledge of their constitutional rights,
and with a guaranty that this Stale would protect
tliemin tho exercise of their tight of electing
those who are to command them.
This right is now expressly denied them by the
j conscription act, and i.i most of tiie regiments it is
| practically denied them, by the orders of the Con
federate Generals, v.lio command them. Offieeis
are now put upon them by promotion or by ap
pointment of the President, who in many instances
have not tLeir confidence, when, it their constitu
tional right of election were not denied them,
they would seket those who in sercice have shown
that they a'e much more competent, and who
would have the full confidence of those by whom
they might be chosen.
if Georgia’s troops who have nobly responded
to her call, and have entered the service ot the
Confederacy as organized 1 • the laws of the
State, are pait of her militia, “employed in tiie ser-
for from the State, under the recent act ot Con
"■ress. are, iu my opinion, to be commissioned by
tiie Governor of Georgia, as they are Slate troops
tendeied to the Confederate Government.” The
i right of tiie State to appoint the officers to com
mand her militia now “employed in the service
: of the Confederate States” is, therefore, admitted
by the President, and the Secretary of State, and
I has been decided by the General Assembly, and is
| too clear for'doubt or cavil Yet this rixlit is de-
; nied by the Conscription act, and our troops are
depriffeJ of its benefits.
i This is a practical question of tile utmost im
portance to tiie troops They feel aud know that
they are deprived of an important right. Tl
panies ro be made up within the couu
j ties of Gilmer, Fannin, Union, Towns,

I J therefore submit the question for your calm

tiie dignity and sovereignty of the Stale and pro-

It may not be inappropriate for me to remark
j in conclusion that the abolitiou government at
I Washington front which we seceded on account
| of its disregard for, and violations of. State rights,
I has in this respect shown itself more attached to
; tiie rights of the States, and more careful not to
I violate them than onr own Government which
i had its very origin in this great doctrine, as will
i be seen by tefereuce to paragraph 1648 ot tho
i regulations of the War Department at VVashitig-
i ton, edition of 1861, which isin the following words:
I “Vacancies occurring among tiie comrnis-
i sioued officers in volunteer regiments will be fill-
: ed by the Governors of the respective States by
j which the regiments were furnished. Iuforma-
! tiou of such appointments will in all cases be
j furnished to the Adjutant General of the Army.”

country to say how soon this much needed.chang '

The highest expectation of the enemy is to
s’arvc us into submission; and we must vnntc: s
that present appearances encourage tiie Li'n.c,
t> believe that their expecta'ious will soon b • tul-
fi led. A large portion of Virginia, North, East,
a.M West, is overrun by the vandal foe, who.
with the sword aud the torch, is sowing destruc
tion broadcast over that fertile Commonwealth.
Iu North Carolina the enemy is pushing his col
umns with great energy, aud threatens to overrun
tire State. Tennessee is almost entirely occu
pied by our own and tho enemy's troops. Very
little grain of any kiud can be cultivated iu that
great corn and wheat section of the Confederacy.
Louisiana is lost to us for the present. So is Tex
as. so is Arkansas. A large portion of Mississippi
is overrun by the enemy. Georgia, Alabama and
South Carolina and" a part ot Florida, a.one re
main UDContaniinated by the presence of the iuva-

Confederacy another year? 1 be prospect is iu
deed gloomy. Our soldiers will fight our ; <qne
will fight—tight desperately, fight ever wbii-
body and soul can be kept to gether. But can
meu fight who have npfhing to eat? Such a corn
crop was never made in this country as b.essed
the labors of the husbandman tbe past year
Cau it be expected that such another crop can be
male, even with propitious seasons? Certainly not
because tbe same amount of laud will not be culti
vated. But suppose the season is unpropitious,
what is to become of us' It is tha most solemn
duty of every man who owns one or more acres ot
open ground, to plant it in grain. If this is done
we may escape starvation another year. It men
vill plant cotton, twelve months troni this day
will see us a subjugated people. We will have
brought ruin upoii ourselves, arid nothing will
atone for onr shortsightedness—nay our sell de
struction. While we can feed our people we can
hope to whip the abolitionists; but when w
to produce enough to keep starvation lrom or
doors, then we are ready for chains and slavery
Who will be so base as to plant cotton, in view of ;
such a catastrophe?

Admit tiie correctness ot ttie decision ot botli ^
branches of the General Assembly, aud I do not
[ question it, that these m _
militia of this State, and it cannot be denied that
i the regiments, battalions and companies command-
j ed by them are part of the miliiia of the State, now
i iu Confederate service, and tiiat tiie other officers
| in command in these regiim-nts are also officers of
j the militia ot this State, employed in the service ot
j ihe Confederate States: aud in case of vacancy, that
j it is tiie ri.ht of the State to appoint the officers
to till such vacancy. «uul that according to her
constitution and laws, it is tiie right ot tiie men
who are to be cotnin inded to elect llie ofbeers to
tiil these vacancies, and have them commissioned
by the Executive authority of tiiis State. And if
this be true, it must also be admitted, that the pro-
vision in tiie Conscript act. which denies to the
State tiie iigl-.t of appointment, .-.ml to t ie men
the right of eHclion, and gives the appointment to
tiie {'resident by promotion or otherwise, is un-
constitniional aud void. If it were necessary to
quote high authority to sustain the decision ot the
Geneial Assembly on this question, I need only re-
f-r to the opinion of Eierident Davis, and the Sec
retary of tat.e, Mr. Benjamin.
In his letter to me of 29th of May last, the Pres
ident says: ‘-Congress then has power to provide
for organizing tiie arms-bearing people of the
State into militia Each State lias the power to
f officer and train them when organized.” Again,
’ lie sa.vs: “The teiin niiliria is a collective term,
meaning a bony ot men organized ’ Again: “Die
litia may be cai'^d forth fti whole or in pait,
into the Confederate service, but do not thereby
become part or the "armies raised”, by Congress,
they remain miiitia, and go home militia, when
tiie emergency that provoked their call has pass
ed.” And again: “During our whole past history
as well as during our recent one year's experience
as a new Confederacy, the militia “have l>een call
ed forth to repei invasion” in numerous instances,
Htd never came otherwise than as bodies organ
izedby the State w ith their company, field and gin-
end officers, and when the emergency had passed,
they went home again.”
far as tiie General Officers are concerned, the
President jnust be understood to refer to our
“whole past history.' and not to “our recent one
year’s experience,” as I am aware of no instance
, Aud be it further ordered, that quarantine duty
Seif with Olie of the first fifteen coin- be performed and strictly enforced at the Newton
panies to be formed as above provi
ded and tendered to the Governor, he
vviii be considered as discharged from
service without cost to the State. Any
company failing to tender as one oi the
first fifteen will be rejected, and the |
individuals composing it will no long- j
er be considered as in the service of the ]
State.
As these jiegiments may be needed
during the war or for a shorter period,
they will be taken into service-for no ]
specified term, but until disbanded.
The pay and allowances pi the ofii
cei’s, non-commissioned officers, *msi
cians and privates of thes/ Regiments
