Tuesday Morning, Fcptcrcfcer 13, 130*4. All persons, in Baldwin- county, indebted to us are requested to call at our office and make payment. Will 2«c do it! Will the President, or Gen - Bragg, reinforce Gen. Hood’s Army ? Gen. Johnston was removed by President Davis, and Gen. Hood put in his place. r I he Country understood, by this change of’fcummanders of the Army of Tennessee, that the President intended to hold up the hands of Gen. Hood, and render him all the assistance that the occasion demanded. Gen. Hood has befcn as piwerless to prevent Sherman’s flanking opera tions, as Gen. Johnston was. But i-e do not pro pose to discuss the wisdom of the change of com manders ofthe’Arniy of Tennessee, at tbis time.— More serious and weighty matters press upon our [ attention. Sow that Gen. Ilood has fought, 10 , the best of his ability, *to defend Atlanta, and lost ! many thousand good troops, the question comes j up. will the President re ir.force him, so that he may j retake Atlanta, or at least prevent Sherman from occupying the only remaining line of Kail Read ommunication between the We«t and the Past ? Is Virginia of more importance to the Confedera cy than the States of Georgia, Alabama and Mis- sissippi, to say nothing of the Trans Mississippi States 1 Will the possession of Richmond atone men of mi ,ria had been ; ,d have been-rwe mean all not necessarily 1 a i,j usefully engaged or detailed otherwise—Uen- I eral Johnston would not have found occasion for j retreating, nr General Hood would ere this have j hulled back the foe. Atlanta, so long as it was i a safe site fur speculation, and extortion, and mammon.worship, was thronged with men who ' could and should have gone to the front—as 60on as danger approached, Atlanta was abandoned in hot haste by tho street loungers and money changers whose business was to depreciate Gen eral Johnston and the currency. We have no feais for Georgia or any other State invaded or ilireatened : if her true sous will awake ;n earnest to their duties, and onr Generals will learn the me of the spaifc and the shovel, and mattock, and the editors will cease clouding or befogging all minds with ‘ situation’’ articles, and give the truth pure and plain as far as propriety permits utterance concerning military evicts and issues [Charleston Courier. Considering all the circumstances, this is a rare specimen of ignorance or impudence. Every man who knows anything about Georgia at this time, knows that every man who is-liable to do military duty, and mauy who are not liable, are in the armies of the Confederacy or the State. Perhaps in no other State or nation has the entire military power of the people so nearly been put in requi sition as fn Georgia at this time. Thousands who on account of age or other infirmities are. unable to endure the hardships of war have rallied to the call of the Governor and are now confronting tlie hosts of tho memy. Every time that tho soil of South Carolina 1 ai been invaded, the enemy has been met and drove back by Geotgians, and if all tlie sons of Georgia who have left their State to tight t he battles of the Confederacy were now in : Georgia, and at her disposal, wo would ask no i help (rom any quarter to drive the emmy from i our. borders. But whilst the brave sons of Geor- ttbcrutuu’n txcaci-nlship. That Sherman is a greet Agger and a great flanker, nil admit; but where lias ho displayed any but bad generalship in the fi-flJ ? A lew days ngo he had an opportunity to strike such a.blow on the army of Ten nessee as would have nearly annihilated it. Gen. Hood’s Army was cut in twain. One part above, ti e other below', Sherman's.victorious host. Never had a General such an opportunity to checkmate n:s adver sary. Yet, what do we see? We see Gen. Ilooii’s upper section quietly march round Sherman, and ei- fect a junction with the lower section, without a gun being fired at them! Th^ North is just now too jubilant over the fall of Atlauta, to talk about anything else. But we predict that, whpu the fever subsides, the press will open their heaviest batteries on Sherman for allowing Hood to escape, after lie was caught in a trap. Mai kit: Sherman will be as badly abused as any of their Generals who have failed to “crush out the rebellion” at one blow. Death of Gee. Morgan. The great soldier was betrayed by a woman, at whose, house he and his Staff were staying all night. The woman, Mrs. Williams, got up in the night, evaded the picket, rode to Bull’s Gap, and piloted the enemy to her liou.se. In the at tempt to escape Morgan was killed. We learn that Judge Clark has ordered the adjournment of Lee and Calhoun Courts, unlit the “Courts in course.” Surgeon Grisrral n Office. The Office ©f the Surgeon General of the State of Georgia, lias been removed to the "office of George T. Dames, Esq., on Jackson street, No. 2, Warren Block, Augusta, Gn. Gen. John II Morgan killed. The telegraph this morning announces the death of Gen. John H‘ Morgan, the Partziun, at Greenville, in East Tennessee. Diiring some months past this chieftain has been almost idle, or at most., occupying a position where little could be effected. — His command had been dissipated and distributed to other leaders, and the General’s operations thereby materially curtailed. H is death will cast a thrill of sorrow over the land,for the romance of the war had its embodi ment, in his many strange and often successful adventures. As the greai partisan ranger and inimitable rai der, he made a name which will remain forever indpntitDd with the history of our revolutiot gia are everywhere lighting the battles of the j Shorn of iiis life in the prime of manhood and in for the loss c f Atlant- Macon, Columbus, Augusta j and* Montgomery ? 1.11 of these cities must tall | into the hands of. the uiemy, in tho event Gen. Sherman occupies Maci i and the Rail Roads tnat j center in that city. It is not necessary for a man j to be a Statesman, or a great Military genius, to j know that. But it is possible for one man to be | so wedded to a particular line of policy, as to |. overlook other ai_d far more important measures ; of public safety. President Davis, we know, is j determined to hold Richmond, at all hazards, and , to the last extremity : but it is by no mean^im- possible for him to do this, and still save Georgia | from the grasp of Sherman. Is tho experiment ; not worth a trial ? Georgia has troops enough in \ irgmia and I South Carolina, who if brought upon their own soil, would drive Sherman and his hordes over | the Tennessee liver in dismay and utter route.— j Must the brave Georgians in Gen. Lee’s army, j who have clone so much to defend the soil of Vir ginia, and especially the city of Richmond, he compelled to witness, in a distant land, tho subju gation of their Fathers, Mothers, Sisters, Wives and Children, and fellbw citizens, because tlio President considers the city of Richmond of more importance than the security of tire great’Stateol’ Georgia ! Let the Press speak out. We are not discussing political questions with the President; but demand to know of the President if ho intends to let (he Empire State of the South die inglotiously. Her people reiterate the ques tion in thunder tones. Gov Brown has done all he eau do to aid the i Army of Tennessee. He has done fir more than be was expected, or even asked, to do. He has [ g] sent old men fi.om their homes, and their oceupa- W tions, to lie in thertrvnches, or if necessary, to | fighr, side by- side, with the veteran Confederate soldier. Georgia has done her whole duty in this mighty Revolution ; and site asks nothing in return but protection, when protection can be af forded. Aside from her own peculiar self interest, she asksj that the Cause of tiif. Confederacy shall not be put in peril by the fatal policy of tho National Administratiou. Georgia must not. die. Jf she falls, along with her fall the great, and gal lant States of Alabama and Mississippi. If to save these States Richmond must fall, then we Bay. perish llichmond.a hundred times. But we do not believe tho fall of Richmond in evitable, in the event reinforc«ni-nt.s are sent to Georgia from Virginia. Both Ga. and Va. may be saved.’f this is done. If it is not done, and that speedily, Georgia will soon be as completely under the heel of the oppiessor as Tennessee is to day. r Confederacy, her territory is abandoned to tbe en- my, and Georgia is told she most fight her own | battles. The EJitor of the Charleston Courier can sit in safety in Charleston and slander and Ko more at present, (hank you The Richmond Ernminer. alluding to tlie hap py effect, on the Northern mind, of tlie late inva sion of the enemy’s country, says, “it would be prudent and wise to burn a few more towns in Pennsylvania.’-’ We are of the opinion, tint the best thing for our cause, at' present, would bo to drive Gen. Sherman out of Georgia. It is folly to be talking about burning towns in the enemy’s country, when our largest inland city has been captured by Sherman, is at present held by him, and all Georgia threatened with occupation by the hated foe. If Gen. Bragg has a man to spare; in Virginia, beyond tho defeusc of the fortifications at Richmond, let him be sent to Gen. Hood at the earliest practicable moment. I£ Gen. Early can not be sent to Georgia, let Gen. Longstrect, or A. P. Hill, with a corps come along in double quick time. We would prefer to have Early, be cause he is skilled in tho same science, flankinr, that Sherman practiced so successfully against Johustou and Ilood Sherman must be flanked. The Rail Road in his ; ar must be held by an in fantry force, and Gen. 1 irly is the man to do tLo work. Will Gen. Bragg let him come ? “A little more grape Capt. Bragg,” aud be in a liinry about it- Almost home. We have before ns a copy of the Hurt ford Post of the 27th of August, in which we find considerable boasting of the early crushing out oftlie rebellion. The • Editor says, “We can almost see tlie promised land of permanent peace.” He had not heard of (he full of Atlanta at that time. Of course lie ran see the “prom ised land” very plainly now. The Post lias extracts from letters from Shermau’s, Burnside’s, and Foster’s Annies, all expressing the utmost confidence Chat the. rebellion cannot survive many days longer. This may be whistling (o keep up. the cour age ot the Lineoliiites, among whom the Post is prom inent. But we think it well enough for our Military authorities to stretch every nerve to meet the emer gency. The draft at the North will Vie enforced, and new Wies will be sent South in a few day«. j^re we ready to meet them ? Crowded. Owing to thejjreat length of the Report of the Med. leal Examining Board, of Jlrown Hospital, we arc compelled to leave out much othe^mattcr in hand. abuse Georgia, and lias no fears of the invader, because Charleston is guarded by Georgia troops: and whilst theoid and the young, the strong and tlie feeble in Georgia are all in the armies of the Confederacy or the State, the militia of South Carolina aro enjoying their otium enm digr.itale in their shops or on their plantations. If the Ed- i itoraf the Charleston Courier is a fair specimen of the South Carolinians of the p/esent day, we j can say with the Psalmist of Israel, “How are | the mighty fallen.” The Season .of Oisnstcr. I Jt is strange, but true, that all the disasters, of im portance, that have befallen nur Armies, have occur red in the Fall aud-Winter. No matter iunv brightly the year opens for our cause, it has been invariably tlie i case, that disasters come with the close oftlie year- j We whip the enemy throughout, the Spring and Sum mer. but it seems that we break down by Winter. Why is this ? We are at a loss to account for the re sult, unless it be owing to the fact that the Yankees can boast more endurance and perseverance than we Jiavc. They are not downcast when defeated. They do not give up an object because they have failed once or twice, or even a dozen time*. They display more energy' after defeat, than after success. The Season of disaster is again upon us. We be lieve the present Fall an# Winter will prove an ex ception to the general rule and that Sliermau will be driven from the soil of Georgia before the 1st of De cember. He must not - winter amofigst us. Gen. Bragg must know that Gen. Lee's Army is supported j from Georgia and Alabama, and that Richmond must fail in the event oftlie loss of Macon and the central line of communication through the State. Again we sav, wake sip General Bragg, and do something t. ' ,!u«l lirgnn his Woili. The Yankees are wasting a good deal of gunpowder at the North, in r< joicingnver the full of Atlanta. Tlie Herald goes into exstacies, and soys the victory has put down the rebellion. It is our opinion tliat Sher man has just entered upon the heavy part of his work. If we have studied the people of Middle and Southern Georgia aright, and if we do not greatly mistake, the wisdom of President Davis, Sherman is yet destined to meet a bloody defeat in central Georgia. Ilia very confidence will yet bo his ruin. Before Georgia is overrun and brought into subjection to Lincoln's authority, her rivers will run red with Yankee blrod, and the graves of her foes will billow the land from the Savannah to the Chattahoochee. Let the people be firm and true. A good time is coining as surely as God reigns in Heaven. Doings in Allanfa. From public and private sources, we learn that the Yankees, and a few of the citizens of Atlanta, have, been having a ‘high old time” in the Gate City*. We understand that, the Mayor, James M. Calhoun, headed a Committee of ten or twelve who went out to meet the Yankee General and escort him into the city. There was a grand Ball at the Trout House, at which Sharinan was present, with some of his corps Command ers. There were only a few white women in attendance. It is said that many- female “American citizens of African descent” were pres ent and joined in the merry dance, “first upon tbe 'heel tap, then upon tbe toe.” We learn, from old citizens of Atlauta, that every man in the city" who has gone to tho Yankees, was kuown *o be in sympathy with them long before the Federal Army came into the JStato. Wouid better things of Mayor Calhoun, and wo trust tba* his position is From the Front. Our loss in the recent battles near Jonesboro’, it i 3 said, was greatly exaggerate 1. Two thousand iu killed, wounded and prisoners, will cover onr entire loss. The enemy, from being the attacking party, lost more heavily. Gen. Hardee fought his corps with great gallantry, and may be truly said to have saved the Artny of Tennessee from destruction, Sherman has fallen back to East Point, where he is fortifying. lie is also fortiiying at Decatur, and re. pairing the Georgia Kail Road. Northern accounts state that Sherman’s Army needs rest, after 4 months of Imrd marching and fighting. By the first of Octo ber. it is said, he will be ready {o march Southward- He will, no doubt, have large reinforcements in a few weeks, and we hope that every effort will be made to put Gen. Hood’s Army into a perfect condition of dis cipline aud strength. -Every minute is valuable to usi and as we use the time allowed us well or ill, will the result of the next caiupnign bo glorious or disastrous for Georgia aud the Confederacy. Latent from the Front. Gen’s Hood and Shermsu have agreed on an armistice of 10 days. . Sherman has ordered all citizens of Atlanta to leave the city at once —eith er to go North or come iuto Gen.

Our tront is beyond Jonesboro. the best flays of his strength, lie is added to the long list of martyrs to the hate and vengeance of the Yankees. His fate will be regretted, his sad end deplored, and his name forever retained as an honorable lieir loom in the annals of our country. Intelligencer. in Important Decision by Judge Book. Annexed we publish an important" decision by Judgo Hook in a case of exemption by contract with the Confederate Government: David E- Gumming j) vs. > Habeas Corpus. Reuben Mayo. .j The facts in this case show that the* petitioner has been enrolled as a conscript, and exempted as an overseer for twcjve months from tlie Confede rate service upon the payment, of fire bundled dollars; and that he relies upon this to exempt him from wtrvice in the militia of the State. I have already decided where a citizen is exempt from Couf- de>ate, he is liable to State, military control. But it is insisted that there is a necessary viola tion oftlie contract involved in this case, in that, the petitioner cannot perfoim his duty as overseer and the paity who paid the five hundred dollars does not get full compensation. Strictly speak ing there is no violation of the contract, certainly none, by the contracting parties themselves If the sovereign Sta'te of Georgia sees fit tor the pub lic good and safety in a great emergency to place parties in a condition that they may not comply with their contracts, eitl>er with individuals or government, what legal authority can he produced questioning her right so to act ? Wlio will not saj' that the State may not com mand tho military service of her citizens, even if by so doing she interferes with contracts they made ? How many thousand of noble and gallan t spirits are now in the army that have had to forego the privilege of complying with contracts they had made with their fellow citizens or, (in sc’ine case) w ith the government. All feel that, the public yea tho national life de mands it, and hence the common sense oftlie people—proclaims it right. The emergency must be first met, arid then all subordinate questions will meet their proper solution in accordance with the local principles which may control them.— ; Bui concede, for the sake of argument, that there | is a clear violation of contract in the case, yet the I case rests and must turn upon high principles, looking to the very existence of th State. The safety of the State is of higher import and .signifi cance than the private interests ot atiy individual citizen. “Salus populi suprema Lex.” This great principle is akin to anoth-r which in time of im rninent peril sways and controls the actions of j men. That principle is familiarly expressed in | this wi«e “Self preservation is the first law of na- j tore," and is a principle clearly recognized by all j laws human ami divine. These principles were j fully recognized by our Congress when they adop- | ted the anti-substitute law, and by onr Courts I when they affirmed the constitutionality of that act. I have (as before remarked in decisions recent ly made) held that when a person is exempted from Confederate, he is liable to State control; and for the simple reason, that when exempted, he is out of (for the time being) the military juris diction of the Confederate government, and that the State’s authority attaches as a necessary con sequence. For if this be not true the monstrous consequence might result, that a sovereign State, | II nSlMflL COMMITTEES Arranged by the Ladies SepV 13th 1864, Break fast and Dinner io be served each day.

The distracted condition of our country aaJ the calamities which have befallen ns, are evidence that our individual, and national transgressions have provoked the displeasure ot Almighty God who rules the destinies of nations and"states»s w ell as ft! men- He is usiog fur oar chastisement our wicked but powerful enemy who has overran a large portion of the territory of our own state, as well ns of the confederacy, and has. laid waste or greatly damaged our cities, towns.-tillages .md fields. God s word, however, is of pri'Uii* that if we vyill turn from the error of owN^aj* and humble ourselves before Him, and implore His pardon for our sins as a people, and in our aggregate capacity as a State, as well as in our private character as individuals, will acknowledge Him as Lord of Lords and King of Kings, he wi 1 hear us in Heaveu, his lofty dwelling place, and answer us iu peace. * In the hope, therefore, in-this time of great public calamity, if our whole people will unitTin the name and through the merits of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, iu impl .riDg pardon ard divine aid in our great struggle, that GotF vrill hear tfs, will give victory to our arms, and bj confounding the counsels of eur enemies, ar.d causing terror and dismay in their ranks, will en able us to triumph over them, and to dr>ve them from the soil of our beloved 8tate. I issue this, my Proclamation, setting apart THURSDAY, the 15th day of this present month, as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer. And I request that ail secular employment be suspended on that day, and that all business houses and public offices he closed, and that the entire people of this Stale- both male and female, do assemble at their respect ive places of public worship, and .with all their hearts aud all their souls, (hat they invoke the favor and aid of Almighty God. And I especially request the reverend clergy of all sects and de- nominations, to attend and lead in religious ex ercises appropriate to the occasion. I also most respectfully request that General J. B. Ho-D. and the army under his command, and alj other Con federate and State officers and soldiers upon thj soil of Gecfgia, unite with the people ot this state iu the appropriate observance of the d«/- tlie purposes above mentioned. Whilst our en emies rely for success upon their superior n" m ' bers and-their great resources, if w> - will pi«^ e our trust in the God of Israel, and do eur whole duty towards him and to e-n/h other, the day 01 our deliverance will be near at band.
