B.IKHES, SIa« PrinGrs Tcrais—?3 00 Per Innnm, In Advarce. How to hrlp the tisTcrniuciil n:iil hrIp Our- iirlTfx. 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 who owes a dollar pay it to I but while" the miserable stay law remains statute books, it is vain to expect men to pay their debts, notwithstanding they money they do not know what 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 cheapen lile-sustalning commodities We know of no way by which so much good can be done at so small a sacrifice. Interest, duty, patriotism c^ll upon the men who remain at homo enjoying their ease, to come to the rescue of their so fieri n g country, whenever it call* for help. It calls now. Tne Finances of the Government are, and must .Wo Cause l« »mp«n<t. If our forces arj so netim s overpowered, th» disaster should not <-au-e us to despoud Think o; the defeats the enemy h s su-Ui.e-d since th beginning of last summer.

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. (tor. Etroivn*. Npi-cial tti-.,nge.

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, | Rabun, Habersham, White and Lump- ; kin, as somi as tendered, it made up ; within a reasonable time—say thirty ! days from the date of this order.

All must admit that the State owes it to ! her people, and especially to her brave troops, to i see that their plain constitutional rights are re- ; spected. I J therefore submit the question for your calm j consideration- and earnestly recommend that you ; take such action in the premises as will vindicate tiie dignity and sovereignty of the Stale and pro- i tect those rights, which are so vital to her citizens ! under arms for the defence of all that is dear to a j people. 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.” i Thus it wil! be seen that the Lincoln Govern- j inent does not d ire to violate the rights of the re- I maiuing States of the old Union, bv tsl<>' These eighteen ganized, together of Bridge Guajd will be formed in 1 omcers to command their volunteer militia when employed in the ser vice of the United .States, aud yet we say that Government is fast tending to military despotism.

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.

Certainly not because tbe same amount of laud will not be culti vated.

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 will he the same as army. The following oa i our iisnus auu vmciai 13th, 1862. 4 G.
