President’* Mc**a*e.
L'p to Saturday wo liad not received a
cipy of the President’s late Message to
Congress. We cannot, therefore, give it
to our readers in this issue. It is said to
be short. No- very important develop
ments are made in this document. The
President congratulates the Country on
the working of the currency measures of
the late Congress, and the cheering signs,
which everywhere appear, of our final
triumph over our rapacious and cruel
foe.
We will publish the Message in our next
paper.
“T lie Illa. K I,inn.’’
We know that onr readers, one aud all,
will thank us for publishing the beautiful
story on our first page, entitled the
“Black Linn.” * We have no doubt that
there is more truth than fiction in this
story. But whether a transcript of a real
scene in life, or a creation of the imagina
tion, it is a good and pretty story, with
a good moral, and will he read with pleas
ure.

A private Uftgiam was received litre on Sunday
.irt, coni eying the saxl intelligence of tli : death of Col-
K \V. Folsom, of the 14tb Ga. Itegt.
Col. Fob' >m has borne a conspicuous part in nearly
ft!' the battles on tin- .-oil of Virginia, Maryland rind
PBimaylvania. Heiiad hitherto escaped most mirac
ulously. Hut the fatal shaft has sped, and Death hr.*
claimed a noble victim. We will not enter the siered
preeineds of private grief, farther than to say that his j
,,ay sister, v.dio dwells in our midst," has our most
heartfelt ryntpatliy, in this, to her, irreparable loss.— ]
tVe suppose he was killed in Friday’s fight.

The Concert last Wednesday Evening.
There was a large audience present to
witness the performance on this occasion.
We are sorry to say that there was much j
noise and confusion in the crowd, which 1
marred flic interesting exercises: The
young ladies were dressed with much good \
taste, and sang and acted .their parts well-j
They have the pleasant consolation of j
knowing that they have largely contribu- j
ted t“ a noble charity, giving a home
and some, comforts to the orphan children
of a Soldier, who fell fighting for his Coun
try’s honor, rights and independence,
Mrs. Dr Mitchell, who was chief Directi ess
on this occasion, deserves aa praise for her
energy, tact”and good taste.
The net amount raised by the Concert
was about $500
Th* U»y BtMival.
According to appointment, the children
had their May Festival in the Capitol
Square, on Tuesday afternoon, last. The
day was charming, a little too cool, per
haps, for the advent of the Queen of Flow
ers. A large number of our citizens were
present to witness the ceremonies, which
were admirably conducted, with a few
exceptions, and that was no fault of the
children or the managers. The stage was
so rudely crowded,that modest people could
neither see nor hear. $uch impolite peo
ple ought to have been shut out by a rope,
like they have in the shows when “Dandy
Jack is about to let the ladies see what
he can do.” With this exception, and
the gabbling of a few silly geese while the
children were speaking their pieces, all
was faultless. The little Queens and their
courts were beautifully decked off, and
■with confidence and animation recited
their allotted parts. Miss Fair and Mrs
Moffett were the managers, and deserve
great credit. After tlie crowning ceremonies
were over, the tables were spread with all
kinds of good things, and the little girls
first turned loose upon them. Then they
were respread, and the boys “pitched in,”
and then again, tvlien the old folks took a
bite,—yea, several bites, if our eyes did
not deceive us. The collation was boun
tiful, and everybody and his wife went
off full—and some more than full, running
over.
The children speut the evening on the
green carpet of the square in plays and
other pleasant pastimes. The young la
dies and the boys spirited ’up a “Band”
and retired to the Representative Cham
ber, where they danced till night drew
down her sable curtain and pinned it with
a star. The oid folks generally talked
about Kirby Smith’s victories over Banks,
and wore happy countenances for Tide
day.
K»c**rngi*g Praopcrl*.
The President, in liis Message to the
new Congress which assembled on the 2nd
of May, says the volume of the currency of
the Confederate States will be reduced,
by the 1st ofiJuly next, to £230,000.000.
This immense reduction, equal to two
thirds of the whole amount in circulation,
in so short a time, must have a decided ef
fect upon prices. If the President’s recom-
endatiou to Congress, that the circula
tion should not be increased beyond the
amount which it will reach on the first of
July, is adopted by Congress, ll/ere can be
no doubt of an immense decline in prices.—
fhia decline in prices may not come sud
denly, but it is as sure to follow, in a few
months, as day succeeds night. Specula
tion, and combination of traders can no
more 8top this decline than they can stop
the ccurse of the Sun or the waters of the
Mississippi. Planters and Farmers may
hold to their produce with a death grip,
but it will still come out. There is no
scarcity of provisions in this State. The
Tithe Taxes in Georgia tell the taie.—
The tithe, of corn, in the county of Burke,
we understand, is one million of bushels.—
This would show that the corn crop of that
county, alone, is ten million bushels.—
Producers have turned up their noses at
Confederate money, preferring to give their
corn to the rats and their flour to the wea-
vils, rather than sell for Confederate mon
ey, even at the euormous rates which have
ruled in the market for these articles of
prime necessity. The day is coming, and
not tar ahead, which shall bring a change
over the spirit of the dream of all doubters
and extortioners. God speed the coming
of this day of relief.
The News.
Official intelligence from Gen. Kirby
Smith has beeu received. IIo whipped
Banks ou the 8tli and 9th of April, and
again ou the 17th. Thb enemy’s loss
was 15.000. He lost 21 pieces of Artillery.
We also captured 10,000 stand of arms,
1200 mules, 300 wagons and many stores.
Banks had crossed Red River at Grand
Eeore, and was retreating on Xatclies. Our
loss in these engagements is put at 2200
killed. Gen’s. Mefbtou aud Green were
killod on our side. Three Yankee Gen
erals were killed. The Gunboats of the
enemy had got up the river aud couldn’t
get hack. Tenor twelve had been either
captured or destroyed.
Gen Trice it is reported had also whip
ped Steele badly, taking many prisoners
50 wagons and the enemy’s baggage, am
munition and supplies.
An interesting son of President Davis
was killed by a fall from the back porch
of the Executive Mansion, on the 31st of
April.
Prices arc tumbling all round. NY e
hear of Bacon selling at $2.00 per pound
where it had been as high as $6,00 and
flour has fallen nearly 50 percent. Thank
God for these cheering indications.

-The Recorder on State Exemptions.
A STUPENDOUS FALSEHOOD TI T DOWN
BY A FEW PEA IN' FACTS.
In the columns of the Southern Re
corder of last week we find that the
Editor, or Editors, (for there are three
of them.) under the heading of “State
Exemptions” states that Gov. Brown
has exempted from military service
twenty-five thousand one hundred and sixty-
seven men. As the Editors had free ac
cess to the public offices and laws,
and the truth, had they wished to state
the truth, was entirely within ttteir
reach, we were somewhat taken aback
by such an assertion, especially as it
is made ostensibly with great cau
tion and a Christian regard for truth
and charity. Imagine then, our aston
ishment on enquiry, to find that neith
er of the Editors had made an effort to
obtain correct information, but with
sanctimonious hypocrisy, had manu
factured out of whole cloth the entire
humbug. The Recorder puts down
fifteen thousand six hundred (15,000)
Militia Officers as exempt by the Gov
ernor. On enquiry at the Adjutant
& Inspector General’s office, wc find
there are but two thousand seven hundred
and twenty-six Militia officers in the
State, and it is well known that a Targe
portion of these, on account of age,
infirmities and other causes, would
haye been exempt without the inter
position of the Governor. Of all the
Militia officers in the State, it is not
probable that fifteen hundred would
be liable to conscription if they did
not hold that office. But suppose
they were all liable, then we find the
Recorder has told only twelve thou
sand eight hundred and seventy-four
falsehoods in one sentence, which is
pretty well for the Recorder. To
make his showing appear plausible,
the Recorder puts down 13 Generals
of divisions, and twenty-six Brigadier
Generals. Now there is but one Ma
jor General in the State, who is also
the Adjutant General; and there is

Brig. Gen’l. Geo. T. Anderson:
Sir:—I hereby acknowledge the
receipt of your letter of the 14th ult.,
accompanied by the resolutions which
purport to have been “almost unani
mously adopted'’ by the men compo
sing your Brigade, condemning my ac
tion in convening the legislature in ex
tra session in March last, and denoun
cing my message and the action of the
legislature as “unwise and unpatriotic”
and intended to “subserve partisan in
terests.” The preamble also speaks
of the willingness of those whom you
denounce to sacrifise everything to
“self-aggrandizement and personal am
bition” and of “prostituting the digni
ty of high office to the accomplish
ment of unholy ends.”
Those who deal thus witii the ac
tions and motives of others should be
prompted only by the most lofty pa
triotism, and the purest motives,.and
should themselves be above suspicion
of “personal ambition for self-aggran
dizement,” or of a desire to “sub
serve partisan interests.”*
JIow will the motives and acts of
those who were the originators and
managers of this meeting and who cov
ered the President with laudation so
fulsome as to be offensive to modest
merit, while they denounced the acts
and impugned the motives of the Gov
ernor and legislature of their own
State, stand the test of the just rule
above mentioned? If I mistake not,
the name of the chairman of the meet
ing, who is a Brigadier General, has
been mentioned by his friends for pro
motion to the position of a Major Gen-
eral. 'Neither the Governor nor leg-
no t a single Brigadier General in the j i s ] a tu re of his State has any power,
State. Ail then which the Recorder under the acts of Congress to grant
right to enquire into the cause of the
imprisonment, or to. place the case
upon the docket, and give the accused
the benefit of the s[»eedy and impar
tial trial guaranteed to him by tbe
Constitution o*f bis country. This is
not the Constitutional liberty which so,
many Georgians have died to defend.
He who possesses this control over the
personal liberties of the people, has in
his hands the powers of a monarch,
call him by what name you may.
Again 1 apprehend the private sol
diers under your command, whose of
ficial promotion and self-importance,
do no.t depend upou the continuance
of the war, will be unable to discover
any dishonor in the resolutions of the
General Assembly of their State upon
the subject of peace. The legislature
has declared that negotiation as well as
the sword, has its proper part to per
form in terminating this bloody strug
gle. The terms of adjustment pro
posed by the legislature, arc the ident
ical terms by which South Carolina.
Georgia, Virginia, and the other
States of the Confederacy stood the
day that each seceded from the Union.
If they were right then, why are they
wrong now? What soldier who
wears no stars, and has no office,
would not be glad to see the struggle
transferred upon these principles, from
the battle field to the ballot box, as
proposed by the Resolutions of the
legislature of your State, which seem
to meet your hearty condemnation?
In conclusion, permit me to remark
that I have the most reliable informa
tion from your Brigade since the meet
ing, that what purports to be the al
most unanimous action of those who
compose it meets the sanction of but
a very small fraction of it. The Reso
lutions were, as 1 am informed, pre
pared by some of the officers before
the men were convened. When called
for to ratify what the officers, without
consulting them, had eoncopted, a
comparatively small part of the Brig
ade attended, and of those present, a
smaller part voted, and of that smalt
number, part voted against the Reso
lutions, and the meeting adjourned

The accounts from the battles in Virginia, be
tween General Lee's and Grants Armies, are too
meagre to form a clear idea ot the result. Tbe
first eng agement took place on Thursday, the cn,
emy crossing the river and attempting to flank
General Lee. In this engagement, the enemy
was repulsed. Toe fight lasting from 12 M. to
night. The fight on Friday was more general,
and the enemy fought stubbornly. General Lee
despatches that the enemy were repulsed at all
points. Our killed was small in comparison to
the number wounded. The ground being unfa
vorable ior Artillery, the fight was made princi
pally with musketry. General Longstreet was
severely wounded in the shoulder by some of Ma-
hone’s Brigade, our own men. General Jenkins
of S. C , was killed by the same Brigade. Tbrs
is a sad feature ot the fight: Another Stonewall
Jackson affair. The enemy's plan was to turn
our right and get between Lee’s Army and Rich
mond, but the plan failed, as Gen. Lee says tbe en
emy was [defeated at all points, his dead and
wounded falling into our hands. The \ankee
General, Wadswarth. was killed, aud his body is
in our hands. We have no further particulars ot
the last baiJe.
From th West we hear that General Price h^d
General teteele surrounded and had demanded his
surrender. Steele was willing, if his negio
troops would be recognised..Price refused. At
the last accounts General Price bad submitted the
whole matter to General Smith. There seemed
to be ho escape for Steele, and it is believed his
whole is army captured. This is mere rumor, and
must be received with much allowance.
There was a heavy fire in East Macon on Fri
day. Two large warehouses and a number of
otherjbuildings were destroyed; also 5,000 bales
of cotton. Whole loss about $2,000,000.
Further news from tbe West, reports the re
capture of Fort DeRussey, by General Smith.—
Banks was in full retreat upon Natches. The
Yankee Gunboats were being destroyed by the
wholesale.

says about these Generals aud their
numerous staff officers, is sheer fabri
cation, without one word of truth to
sustain it. The Recorder has also a
long list of Division and Brigade Quar
termasters, Paymasters, Commissaries,
Judge Advocates, Surgeons, &c., &c.,
not one of which has any existence ex
cept in the columns of the Recorder;
they have all been manufactured out
of Buckram for the occasion. As to the
10,400 Sergeants and Corporals which
the Recorder has paraded for effect,
every body but a fool knows they are
not commissioned, and of course, are
not exempt. Of the civil officers of
tlic State the Recorder greatly over
rates their number. Many of them
hold two or more offices, and a very
large proportion of them are not lia
ble to military d\ity. Many of the
militia districts have been consolida
ted so that there is not near the num
ber of Justices of the Peace, Consta

corder, and some of the offices there
mentioned do not exist.

the promotion. It can come from the
President alone. The Secretary of the.
meeting, himself a Lieutenant Colonel,
cau be made Colonel only at the w\H
of the President. The orator of the
occasion, now a Captain, cannot ex
pect promotion from the State author
ities. The same may probably be
said of most of the others who were
promineut in this meeting. While I
do not charge upou them a desire to
“accomplish unholy ends” for “self-
aggrandizement” I must leave it to
others to say whether the judgment
of condemnation pronounced by them
was entirely unbiased by “personal
ambition” and a desire for self-promo
tion. I apprehend the way-worn pri
vate soldier upon his weary march by
day and his lonely watch at night,
who serves his country only for his
country’s good, and while he meets
the enemy- in deadly conflict at the
hazzard of his life, can look for no per

portation to them and save their lives
Was this an “unhallowed purpose”
and did it accomplish an “ unholy
end?” I am willing for the hardy
sons of toil who obey your orders, and
whose wives and little ones at borne
are dear to them, to- judge, and I am
content to abide their decision.
The Governor and legislature of
your State whom you denounce have
appropriated for this year nearly ten
millions of dollars to feed, and clothe
the suffering wives and wjdows and
orphans of soldiers, and to put shoes
upon the feet and clothes upon the
backs of soldiers themselves, who are
often destitute and cannot get supplies
from the Confederate Government. Is
this an ‘f unholy end” for which they
deserve your denunciation ?
But you aud those who act with you,
complain of the resolutions passed by
the legislature iu response to my mes
sage, on the subject of the suspension
of the habeas corpus, and those rela
tive to the terms upon which peace
should be sought.
Whatever may be the opinions, of
those officers who managed* the meet
ing over which you presided, I ven
ture to say, that not one privite sol
dier in every ten in your Brigade, be
lieves it is right for Congress to sus
pend the privilege of the writ of ha-
amid cheers which resounded through
your camp for him whom it was the
purpose of the managers of the meet
ing to condemn.
All know the great advantage which
the officers have over the men in the
management of au affair of this char
acter. The officers are accustomed
to command, the men to obey. They
can not meet their officers upon an
equality and condemn their action,
but it seems they cau, by spontaneous
acclamation iu tne camps, when they
feel that injustice has been done, tes
tify their disapprobation without be
ing individually marked by those who
have the power over them.
Begging you to assure the men un
der your command, that I shall con
tinue to do everything in my power
to protect aud defend the great prin
ciples of Constitutional and personal
liberty lor which they are fighting,
aud to clothe aud feed their helpless
wives and little ones in their absence,
and to relieve their own wants when
they are suffering for clothing which
they can not get from tbe Confeder
acy.
I am very respectfully,
Joseph E. Brown.
