THE CONFEDERATE UNION,
(Corner of Hancock and Wilkinson streets.)

Tuesday Morning, July 12, 18G4,
* Fine Rain.—The thirsty earth was refreshed
by a fine shower of rain on Friday afternoon last.
The gardens will be greatly benefitted, and the
forward corn, which was suffering, be put out of
danger. There was a heavy wind, which blew
down much corn,.but otherwise did no damage.
Thj President and the Blockade again.
We have seen no serious effort made by any of
our cotemporaries to defend the extraordinarj
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 he holds a good office as
Collector under the President, to defend all fce
does, right or wrong, with his usual unfairness,
publishes the correspondence between Governor
Brown and the President through Mr. Meminin-
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 which it throws be
hind it and muddies the water till it-can make its
escape, attempts io 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 says “nobody dreamed of denying the
obligation until the flood tide illumination of Joe
Brown taught us 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 lias 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 above mentioned, he would have
shown his readers in the very case before him.
that Governor Clark 01 Mississippi, Governor
Watts of Alabama rind Governor Vance of North
Carolina, as well as Governor Brown of Georgia,
all deny the right of Congress to tax State pro
perty.
But be 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 er porting any of the
grticles herein enumerated on their own account,”
it such exportations by the State* if they refuse
to comply with the terms he dictates, requiring
one half the stowage room of the vessel to be
given up to the Confederate States, but was onlv
intended to relieve the States from giving bond
merce? The Constitution says Congress shall do
it Congress by three distinct acts has authoiized
ttie States to export cotton without restrictions by
the President. The President set a-ide and dis
regarded the first, vetoed the second, and when he
<hw the third would .be passed ov> r hi« veto he
nickeled it at tbe heel of the session tfn refused
o send it back to allow Congress to overrule him
These are the acts of a man who owes his pres
ent elevation to his former advocacy of State
rights and State sovereignty. An acquaintance of
Mr. Davis seeking power would have great diffi
culty in recognizing Mr. Davis in power as the
-ame man, if he compared his professions out of
power with his acts in power.
We publish to-day the communication of L.
taken from the Savannah News, which shows that
while Mr. Davis refuses to let ships chartered by
the Governor of Georgia go out unless they sub
mit to his unjust terms, he does permit vessels of
Virginia and North Carolina to go without these
restrictions; and while he lets North Carolina
freights pass through the Custom House without
the payment of import duties he holds Georgia
goods till import duties are paid. If L. is correct
in his charges we should like to know upon what
piinciple of uniformity Mr. Davis justifies tbis
•discrimination against Georgia. If he is guilty
of it, it can only be to gratify personal malignity,
and his conduct is uuworthy the high positiou he
holds.
The Situation.
The situation in Georgia is not so favorable as we
c >uKl (lt-nirw -..but Hint there is any cause for alarm we
deny. Georgia, in the first three years of the War, was
in ire favored than any State in die 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 louses
and suffering. Cannot we of Georgia, Alabama and
Soulh Carolina exhibit as much fortitude and faith as
our sisters have shown ? If the war waste 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-y had not, comparatively,
really felt its effects ! To expect to gain independence
without some sacrifices, is neither wise nor patriotic.
Atlanta may fall, and other of our cities come under
t lie yoke of the invader, but the struggle will go on.—
Wecannot cry out “enough.” and ask for terms. Those
who have been appointed to conduct the affaiis 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 have experienced, and remember that a people
never won their liberties without patience uuder afflic
tion.
Death of fof.W. IF. Williamson.
One of the oldest citizens of Georgia lias 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. 14th lT-'J, .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. Troup one of the Commissioners
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 —

weeks previous to his death. A few weeks ago

Wo say we are surprised at his retreat, but do
not imagine that we are finding fault. We know
that he has done the best he could, and we are
satisfied none of our Generals could have done
any better. It was an agreeable surprise to us to
see him stop above Marietta, after he left the
south bunk of the Etowah. We expected to see
him retire to the Chattahoochee then, and onr 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-

A PROCLAMATION.
EXECUTIVE* DEPARTMENT, J
• IIilledgeville, Georgia, . >
0 July 9th, 1S64. )
To the Reserved Militia of Georgia*
A late correspondence witty th® Presidenf of
tbe Confederate States satisfies ray mind that
Georgia is to be left to her own resources to sup
ply the reinforcements to Gen. Johnston's army,
which are indispensable to the protection of At
lanta, and to pre' ent the State from being over
run by the overwhelming numbers now under
command of the Federal General upon our soil
The officers, civil and military, who constitute, in
a great degree, tbe remaining active miiitia force
left to the State by lire different acts of c.mscrip
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 valor
when attacked by i|#e enemy. Bnt there is need
of further "reinforcements, 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 on distant fiqjds defend
ing the soil of other States, it becomes my duty
to call forth every man in the State able to bi-ar
arms ns fast as they can be armed, to aid in the
defence of onr homes, our altars, and the graves
of our ancestors.
1 am fully aware of the importance of the grow-
ing crop ot the State, and have delayed this call as
long as the exigencies will possibly permit, to en
able the people to do the labor necessary to secure
the crop. In the Southern portion ot the State,
it is believed this will be accomplished by
the time this proclamation can be generally
published, while ten days «>r two weeks longer
will 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 Jn me
vested by the laws of thi^ State, do hereby order
into active military service all that part of the re
serve militia of this State between the ages of fill
and 55 years, and all between the ages of six
teen and seventeen years, who reside South of a
line ♦mining Emit and West across the territory
of the State, passing through the city of Macon,
to report to General G. W. Smith at Atlanta,
with the least possible delay ; and I further order,
that all persons between said ages subject to mi
litia duty, who reside North of said line, report
to Gen. Smith, each leaving his homQ.on the 20th
of this month, and repairing to Atlanta by the
neaiest and speediest route.
I also order all free white male persons in this
State between the ages of seventeen and fifty
years who are exempt from Confederate Con
scription, and are not absolutely unable to do mi
litia duty, which disability must be shown by the
certificate of a Surgeon properly appointed under
the laws of this State, to report with the militia of
their respective counties, as they are subject to
State militia duty. And I further require all tree
white male persons between said ages in Ibis State,
notin actual military service of 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
large number of able bodied young men who have
Confederate details to attend to various industrial
avocations and pursuits, in which they have no
militaiy service to perform. It cannot surely be
the intention of the Confederate Government to
place a large number of young men able to do
service, in the organization to kpep 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 others em
braced in the call respond, that their neighbors
w are going to cauip, arrest them and compel
them to go. The time allowed, enables those of

* GEN JOHNSTON’S LETTER.
Neab Chattahoochee, 7th July, 1864.
To His Excellency, J. E. Brown, Governor:
1 have the pleasure to inform yon that the Sate
Troops promise well, and have already done good
service. While the army was near Marietta they
were employed to support the cavalry op the ex
treme left and occupied a position quite diet net
from any oilier infantry of oars According to
all accounts tbeir conduct in the presence of tbe
enemy was firm and creditable. Such Federal
parties as approached the crossing places of the
Chattahoochee guarded by th-m have been driv
en back. These proofs of their value make tye.
anxious that their number shall be increased. Is
it. possible? You know that the distinguished
officer at their head is competent to high command
Most respectfully your obedient servant,
J E. JOHNSTON.
Inexplicable.
It seems strange to ua that a succesffnl demon
stration in Sherman’s rear cannot be made - A
few hundred men could get a strong position oil
some mountain side, and plant batteries so as tn
rake the railroad. Sherman cannot defend the
entire Load. 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 Shcrmautdoea
at this day. But it seems that no army ever had
so inefficient a cavalry force as Gen Johnston’s
The public has looked and looked in vain to tbe
cavalry of that Army to strike an effective blow
in Sherman’s rear. But despair has settled down
upon the people, so far as this.hope is concerned.
Where are the bold partisans, who, at the begin
ning of the War, took Gun boats and transports
on rivers ? Can’t they attack and capture trains
on Railroads just as easy as they did boats on the
rivers ? Trains carry no big guns, and gnn boats
do. The woods in Northern Georgia, along the
State Road, furnish an excellent cover for squads
of daring men. Can’t Gen. Johnston organize a
few scouting parties for the special purpose of
destroying trains on the Railroad in Sherman’s
rear ? Something must be done soon, or the en
emy will overrun the State.

about a State giving bond or submitting to “on
orous or other stipulations"?
The proviso is a plain exemption of the States
from all the provisions of the act, and from all
the hindrances which the caprice of the President
might throw in 'the way of exportations by the
States, as every candid, honest man. who under
stands the English language is obliged to ad
mit.
The Constitution gives to Congress and not to
the President, the power to regulate commerce —
Congress gave the President power to prohibit
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 the
States from exporting cotton Ac. Every sensible
man knows that the President has no power to
prohibit exports by tbe States, unless he gets it
from Cougress, and Congress has expressly de
nied it to bim by the proviso in the act. But ha

responsibility. However weighty the reasons
each man might be able to give for remaining at
home, there are more important reasons why he
should hasten to the front if he is able to travel.
Georgians, you must reinforce General John
ston's army and aid in driving back the enemy,
or lie will drive-yon back to the Atlantic, burn
your cities nnd public buildings, destroy your
property, and devastate tbe fair fields of your
noble State.
If the Confederate Government will not send
the large Cavalry force (now engaged in raiding
and repelling raids) to destroy the long line of
Railroad over which Gen. Sherman brings his
supplies from Nashville, and thus compel him to
retreat with the loss of most of his army, the peo
ple of Georgia, who have already been drawn
upon more heavily in proportion to population
than those of any other State in the Confederacy,
must at all hazzards and at any sacrifice rush to
the front, and aid the great commander at the
head of onr glorious self-sacrificir.g ar*y, to drive
him from the soil of the Empire State.
I beg you, fellow-citizens, to reflect upon the
magnitude of the issue.
If Gen. Johnston’s army is destroyed the Gulf
States are thrown open to the enemy and we are
rained- If Gen. Sherman’s army is ent off tbe
West is thrown open to ns to the Ohio River, anc
all raids into Mississippi, Georgia and Alabanm
will at once ceaso. If every citizen of Georgia'
will do his duty and the President will permit
Kentucky to rest free from raids for a time, anc
will semi Morgan and Forrest to operate upon tie
Railroad line of commnnication, nearly three
hundred miles, in Sherman’s rear, which paster
over many bridges, through a country de*titnt>
of supplies, the grand army of invasion can be
destroyed, and not only our own State bnt the
