I T appearing to tlie Court from the Petition of
Arthur W. Johnson, that Jesse Collier late of
said county, made and executed fiis last will and

said will for Probate in solemn form. It further
appearing from said petitioner that one of said
heirs and legatees of said Jesse Collier, tow it:
Southern property for payment of their
debt—for the reward of their conquering
soldiers. It is the expiess promise of
(arms in tLe South that has-brought, and
is bringing inytiad,s of hungry foreigners

are now lighting directly and solely for ]

j would not desire—and if any other gov-
i eminent were to succeed it to-morrow, that
! other government would not dare—to
make any peace which would disappoint
, those German and Irish of the estates
which they believe themselves to be cut-
i ting out with their swords. To disband
such an army, give them their arrears of
pay, and say to them, “No further occasion

I convulsion and revolution.—and they all
know it. Be it peace or whr—submission
now or cpnquest hereafter—it is Southern
estates which the Yankees want and must
have ; every acre, every kit, built or un
built, every herd and Hock, and mine, and
mill and barn—the accumulated wealtb of
■ tbis luxuriant Sauthern land—the whole
i of it becomes at once a fund for satisfying
those European mercenaries, aud uphold-

meditate groveling in this way, eating dirt,

Cbarleston to be Defended to the Last
Extremity.
Various reports from •Chailestou were in
circulation, but tip to ten o’clock iast even
ing we bad received no telegraphic news
from that city We do not care to repeat
the street rumors. From persons who came
ftora Charleston within the past few days,
and front private letters received here, we
learn that a formidable attack is daily ex
pected, and that tlie- utmost exertions are
being used to place the city in readiness to
successfully resist tbe worst. Extensive
wotksare rapidly approaching completion,
which will add greatly to the strength of
our defences, and a spirit of determined rc-
sistance, to the last extremity,animates the
troops and citizens.
Tbe Mercury, of Saturday makes the
following extract from the report adopted
by tbe South Carolina Convention last
winter: .
“ That it should be expressed, as the
sense of the People of South Carolina, as
sembled in Convention, that Charleston
should be defended at any cost of life or
property ; and that in tlieir deliberate judg
ment, they would prefer a repulse of the
enemy, with the entire city in ruins, to an
evacuation or surrender on any terms what
ever."
The Mercury reminds its readers that
resolutions in conformity with these views
were passed by the Convention and unani
mously concurred in by the Governor and
Council of State, by whom'certified copies
of them were transmitted to the President
of the Confederate States, the Secretary
of War, and to the Confederate Generals
in South Carolina. Tbe Mercury adds :
General Beauregard lias recently urged
tbe departure of all non-combatants from
Charleston, and prohibited the ingress of
any more. There should be no mistake
concerning his views, either as to the irnnti-
nency of tlie danger at this point, or as to
the character of the defence that lie will
make.
Let it be distinctively understood by ev
erybody that Charleston is to Lie defended
to the last extremity. If the harbor is ta
ken,the city is tabe fought street by street,
aud house by house, as long as we have a
foot of ground to stand upon.
It is high time that public attention
should be directed to this subject. AYe
were pleased to learn that the gentlemen j
composing the Commission met yesterday, j
We trust that in their efforts to make !
Charleston ready forthwith to stand slid- I
lirig, they will have the co-operation and
assistance of our entire population. Noth
ing could stay us and the country, in the
event of its fall, but the most heroic and
devoted exertions; nothing can save
Charleston but a desperate defence. One
and all, let ns bestir ourselves, and make
ready at once for the rapidly approaching
stmggle. J.et none ho caught napping,and
no obstacles be thrown in the way of our
militSrv authorities.
A Cnndidnlo at I.ail.
We observe that certain opposition pa-
per», as they termed themselves during
tiie great controversy for Southern rights
and Southern equality, which resulted in
the secession of the Confederate States,
have put forth the name of Joshua Hill as
their candidate for Governor. The an-
| nouncement of Mr. Hill’s name is formally
j made at the head of the editorial columns
| of the Atlanta Gazette, with an editorial
I endorsement and the assurance that he
| will serve if elected. In an editorial nrg-
' ing the election of Air. Hill, the Athens
j Watchman says:
| “We are learning by hitter expetience
that hotspurs and demagogues ate unfit to
govern a country. Such men brought us in
to trouble, and seem to bo incapable of
taking us out. They were suffered to lead
the country in 1S61, and none of the bless
ings which they predicted have been real
ized, while most of the evils apprehended
by more considerate men have come to
pass. Our next Governor should be
taken from tlie latter class. Mer. who
were ealin when others were excited, who
saw clearly when others were blinded,
who kept sober when others were intoxi
cated, have given evidence of the sagacity
and soundness for which the public mind
instinctively calls. Events are daily prov
ing their wisdom. They, if anybody,
can deliver us from that gulf of trouble in
which we are plunged. There is no worth
ier represetative of this class than Joshua
Hill, of the county of Morgan, and he is
hereby proposed to the people as a suita
ble man for Governor.”
AVe would ask the intelligent reader
whether the above does not sound very
much as if the editor was addressing those
whom he supposes to he opposed to the
action of the people of Georgia in TS61’
aud iu favor of retracing the steps that
‘b,ought us into trouble.’ Can it be pos
sible that the Empire State is to be dis
graced with a ‘reconstruction’ candidate-
for Governor. AA’e know very litlie of
Mr. Hill, having entirely lost sight of him
after the close of his brief career in the
United States Congress, during which he
was only distinguished for bis abject sub
serviency to the Northern Anti-Southern
rights party to which he belonged. If we
remember rightly, be voted against several
prominent Soot hern ^measures, and even
went so-far as to vote with or for Henry
AVinter Davis, the 3Iaryland traitor, for
Speaker of the House ot Representa
tives. A\ 7 c remember that his course in
Congress was strongly reprobated by
leading men of both political parties in
Georgia aud throughout the South, and
was made the subject of remonstrance by
the State Legislature.
AA’e shall deeply regret the inaugura
tion of a political controversy in Georgia
at this time, more especially if a party can
be found in the State to make the issue so
manifestly hinted at by the Watchman.
AA’e warn all true patriots to beware.
