The President and tlie Blockade again.
We have seen no serious effort made by any of
onr cotemporaries to defend the extraordinary
conduct of President Davis on the subject of his
blockade of State vessels except in the Savannah
Republican. This Administration organ whose
Editor feels bound, while fie holds a good office as
Collector under the Presidenf.jp defend all he
does, right or‘wrong, with his usual unfairness,
publishes the correspondence between Governor
Brown and-the President through Mr. Memtnin-
ger. and withholds from his readers the memorial
addressed to Congress, on the subject, by the
Governors of Mississippi, Alabama. Georgia and
North Carolina, which was concurred in by the
Governor of South Carolina in his correspondence
with the Senators f.om his State.
The Editor, like the Cuttle fish, which, when
pursued, has a sack of slime whieh it throws be
hind it and muddies the water till it can make its
escape, attempts to get out of the difficulty "by
his usual expedient of personal abuse of Gover
nor Brown.
The Editor speaks of the “ridiculous implica
tion that a State is not bound to pay export du
ties,” and savs "nobody dreamed of denying the
obligation until tlie flood tide illumination of Joe
Brown taught ns the novelty.’ The Editor is in
blissful ignorance of the fact, that the highest
courts’and the ablest jurists have decided that the
General Government has no power to tax the pro
perty of a State, or he is as uncandid and unscru
pulous in this matter as he generally is in his as
saults upon the Governor. If he had published
the memorial Hoove mentioned, he would have
shown his readers in the very case before him.
that Governor Clark 01 Mississippi, Governor
Watts of Alabama and Governpr Vance of North
Carolina, as well as . Governor Brown of Georgia,
all deny the right of Congress to tax State pro
perty.
But he attempts to defend the conduct of the
President by saying, that the proviso in the act
of Congress, which says “that nothing in this
act shall be construed to prohibit the Confederate
States or any of them from exporting any of the
articles herein enumerated on their own account,
does not mean that the President may not prolnu-
it such exportations by the States if they refuse
to comply with the terms he dictates, requiring
The Situation.
The situation in Georgia is not so favorable as we
c mid d,esire ; but that there is any cause for alarm we
deny. Georgia, in the first three years of the War, was
more favored than any State in ihe Confederacy.
Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri have
been overrun, and a large portion of Virginia, North
Carolina, and Florida, have felt the presence of the
invader most severely. But the loyal Southern men
in all these States have patiently borne their losses
and Buffering. Cannot we of Georgia, Alabama aud
South Carolina exhibit as much fortitude and faith as
our sisters have shown ? If the war was to end to day
how many thousands and tens of thousands in Geor
gia, Alabama,South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida,
and Texas, could say that th-v had not, comparatively,
really felt its effects ? To expect to gain independence
without some sacrifices, is neitlier wise nor patriotic.
Atlanta may fall, aud other of our cities come under
(lie yoke of the invader, but the struggle will go on.—
Wecannotcrvout “enough.” and ask for terms. Those
who have been appointed to conduct the nffaiis of
the Confederate Government, will never succumb,
while there is a man left to fight the Yankees. We
must, therefore*, prepare for the same fiery ordeal our
sisters hare experienced, and remember that a people
never won their liberties without putience under afflic
tion. *
Death of Col.W W. Williamson.
One of the oldest citizens of Georgia has passed
away. Col. W. W. Williamson died at his resi
dence in Wilkinson county, on Friday morning
last.
Col. Williamson was born in Wilkes county,
Dec. 1-lth IT?!?, and was therefore in the 81st. year
of his age. He represented Greene county several
years in the Georgia Legislature. He was ap
pointed by Gov. Troifp one of the Commissioners
j on the part of the State to make a treaty with the
Creek Indians, in the year 1825. He with Gen.
Coffee commanded the State force in Cherokee, to
protect the Gold mines against intrusion - While
representing Cherokee county in the Legislature,
he was appointed by Gov Towns Principal Keep
er of the Georgia Penitentiary. These are some
of the public positions held by Col. Williamson —
His health had always been good up to a few
weeks previous to his death. A few weeks ago
his second son by his last wife, died at Griffin,
where he bad been removed from the frout,<md
the heavy blow broke the old man’s heart. He
was a man of strict integrity and a firm believer in
the efficacy of the Saviour's blood to save hi* soul.

A lste correspondence with^ tire President of
the Confederate States satisfies my mind that
Georgia is to be left to her owu resources to sup
ply the reinforcements to Gen. Johnston s army,
which are indispensable to the protection of At
lanta, and to prevent the State from being ovef-
run by the overwhelming numbers now under
command of the Federal Genera' rpon our soil
The officers, civil and military, who constitute, in
a great degree, the remaining active militia force
left to the State by the different acts of conscrip
tion have already been called out and have ren
dered effective service, while they, as well as the
two regiments of the State Line have distinguish
ed themselves by cool courage and intrepid valoT
when attacked by the enemy. But there is need
of further reinfoYcemen's, as will be seen by the
accompanying letter of Gen. Johnston: and while
a ver> large proportion of the gallant and chival*
rous sons of Georgia are ou distant* fields defend
ing the soil of other States, it becomes my duty
to "call forth every man in the State able to bear
arms as fast as they can be armed, to aid in the
defence of our homes, our altars, and the graves
of our ancestors
I am fully aware of the importance of the grow-
ing crop of the State, and Rave delayed this call as
long as the exigencies will possibly permit, to en
able tbe people to do the labor necessary to secure
the crop. In the Southern portion of the State,
it is believed this will be accomplished by
the time this proclamation can be generally
published, while ten days or two weeks longer
wii) enable those in the Northern half of the State
to do most of their labor necessary to make the
•rop.
1 therefore, by virtue of tho authority in me
vested by the laws of this State, do hereby order
into active military service all that part of tbe re
serve militia of this State between the ages of 50
and 55 years, and all between tbe ages of six
teen and seventeen years, who reside South of a
line running East r,iid West across the territory
of tbe State, passing through the city of Macon,
to report to General G. VV. Smith at Atlanta,
with the least possible delay ; and I further order,
that all persons between said agi-s subject to mi
litia duty, who reside North of said line, report
to Gen. Smith, each leaving his home on the 2l)th
of this month, and repairing to Atlanta by the
nearest and speediest route.
I also order all free white male persons in tins
State between the ages of seventeen and fifty
years *who are exempt 4rom Confederate Con
scription, and are not absolutely unable to do mi
litia duty, which disability grant be shown by the
certificate of a Surgeou properly appointed under
the laws of this State, to report with tbe militia of
their respective counties, as they are subject to
State militia duty. And I further require all free
white male persons between said ages in this State,
notin actual military service ot the Confederacy,
except as her in exempted, to report also, as I can
not suppose the President will claim as exempt
from militia duty in this great emergency, the
larcre number of able bodied young men who have
Confederate details to attend to various industrial
avocations and pursuits, in which they have no
military service to perform. It cannot sluely be
the intention of the Confederate Government to
place a large number of young men able to do
service, in the. organization to keep them out of
the bullet department. Hence, I claim their aid in
the field till this emergency is passed, and direct,
in case of their refusal to report when othprs em
braced in the call respond, that their neighbors
who are going to camp, arrest them and compel
them to go. The time allowed, enables those of
them who are pianters, to lay by their crops, or
to approximate so near to completion, that serious
iujury cannot grow out of their absence \vhi:o
little damage will be done by the temporary ab
sence from their places, of Confederate lax As
sessors, Collectors, Tanners, Mechanics, semet
service men, &c , &e., as their business must
cease entirely, if the enemy overruns the State
All who respond to this call, are required to arrest
and carry with them all deserters within their
power at the time they start to camp.

GEN. j IJHNSTON’S LETTER.
Near Chattahoochee, 7th July, 1864.
To His Excellency, J. E. BROWN, Governor:
I have the pleasure to inform you that the State
Troops promise well, and have already done good
service. While the army was near Marietta they
were employed to support the cavalry on-the ex
treme left and occupied a position quite dist net
from any other infantry of ours. According to
all accounts their conduct in the presenceVif tbe
enemy was firm and creditable. Such Federal
parties as approached the crossing places ot the
Chattahoochee guarded by th^m have been driv
en back. These proofs of their value make me
anxious that their nnmber shall be increased. Is
it possible? You know that the distinguished
officer at their bead is competent to high command.
• Most w-speclfully your obedient servant,
J E. JOHNSTON.
Inexplicable.
It seems strange to us that a successful demon
stration iu Sherman’s rear cannot be made* A
few hundred men could get a strong position on
some mountain side, and plant batteries so as to
rake the railroad. Sherman cannot defend the
entire Road. It is inexplicable to us, why the
enemy are not harrassed day and night between
Chattanooga and Marietta. No General ever oc
cupied a position so full of peril as Sbcrmanjdoe*
at this day. But it seems that no army ever had
so inefficient a cavalry force as Gen. Johnston’s
The public has locked and looked in vain to tbe
cavalry of that Army to strike an -effective blow
iii Sherman’s rear. But despair has settled dowff
upon the people, so far as this hope is concerned.
Where are the bold partisans, who, at the begin
ning of tbe War, took Gun boats and transports
on rivers ? Can’t they attack and capture trains
oh Railroads just as easy as they did boats on the
rivers ? Trains carry no big guns, and gun boats
j do. The woods in Northern Georgia, along the
; State Road, furnish an excellent cover for squads
‘ of daring meu. Can't Gen. Johnston organizes
few scouting parties for the special purpose of
destroying trains on the Railroad in Sherman’s
reat ? Something must be done soon, or the en
emy will overrun the State.

Congress gave the President power to prohibit satisfied none of our Generals could have done
all exportations of cotton and other commodities
named in the act, except upon such uniform reg
ulations as he might prescribe as to exports by
individuals or companies, but expressly said that
this power should not be construed to prohibit tbe.
States from exporting cotton Ac. Every sensible
man knows that the President has no power to
prohibit exports by the States, unless he gets it
from Congress, and Congress has expressly de
nied it to him by the, proviso in tbe act. But be
sets aside tbe act of Congress and usurps tbe pow
er to prohibit the States from exporting cotton
unless they submit to such terms as be dictates,
and notifies the Captain of tbe Ada when loaded
with cotton of the State of Georgia, that she shall j
not pass out by ihe guns of bis battery, until she
submits to bis terms.
Under the act of Congress, Governor Brown
had a perfect right to have ordered out the ves
sel independently of the order of the President,
and if she had been fired iuto the act would have
shewn Mr. Davis to be a worse usurper than
Lincoln. But the Govcrnoi refused to do so, and
chose to submit to the outrage npoD the rights-of
bis State rather than h ive a conflict of arms with
the Confederate Government.
He and the other Governors then referred the
matter back to Congress, and Congress, which
has the right to regulate commerce, took np the
any better. It was an agreeable surprise to ns to
see him stop above Marietta, after he left the
south bank of the Etow|^i. We expected to see
him retire to the Chattahoochee then, and our own
people, as well as the enemy were surprised when
he stopped above Marietta. Sherman telegraph
ed Stanton that he had driven Johnston across the
Chattahoochee, and public opinion seemed to a-
gree with Lim. But Gen. Johnston saw proper
to ma ke a stand at Kennesaw and right well did he
maintain his position for several weeks, costing
Sherman ns less than ten or fifteen ihousand men.
while our own loss was not more than one third
of that of the Yankee General. That the croak
ers and the faint hearts will grow very solemn
and doleful over the retrograde of Johnston’s army
is to be expected We have thesame confidence in
our General, and his noble army, that we have ev
er had, since it confronted Sherman’s invaders.—
We believe it is destined to whip the enemy
before the Summer is over, if he presisls in his el-
forts to capture Atlanta. With superior numbers
to urge liim on, and confident of the demoraliza
tion of Gen. Johnston’s Army, Sherman will come
on—will cross the Chattahoochee, and give us bat
tle. When he doe» though the odd* be two to
one against us. we have no doubt as to the rasult.

Railroad over which Gen. Sherman brings his
supplies from Nashville, and tlnis compel him to
retreat with the loss of most of liis army, the peo
