( In assigning command, at this critical juncture, ol the Military Division of the West, I appeal tomycoun- I trymen oi all classes and sections, for their generous i support and confidence. i:, assigning me to this responsible position, the President of the Confederate States has extended to j me the assurance of his earnest support; the txecu | live of your States meet me with similar expression!, of their devotion to our cause; the noble army in tht field, rompoM-a of brave men and gallant officers, are j no strangers to me, and 1 know that they will do ali that patriots can achieve. The history of the past, written in the blood of their i comrades, but foreshadows the glorious future which iies before them. Inspired with these bright promises oi success, 1 make this appeal to the men anawomruol [ my coiintiv, to lend n.e the aid of their earnest aud j co-operation Enable to join in the bloody .conflicts ! of the field, they eau do much to strengthen our cause, till up our ranks, eneonrage our soldiers, inspire confi dence, dispel gloom and tl ns hasten on the day of our ’final success and deliverance. The army ol Sherman still defiantly holds^the city of Atlanta, lie can and must be driven from it. It is only lor the good people of Georgia and surrounding States to speak the word, and the whole is done. We have abundance of provisions, and there are men enough in the country, liable amiable for service, to accomplish the lesalt To all such, 1 earnestly appeal to repot t promptly to their respective commands, and let those who cannot go, see to it that none remain at home wtio are able to strike a critical and decisive hour. To those soldiers of the army, who are absent from their commands without, leave, 1 appta! in the name ot their brave comrades, with whom they have in the past, so often shared the privations of the camp and the dangers of the battlefield, to return at once to their duty. ‘J o all such as shall report to their respective commands in response to this appeal, within the next thirty days, an amnesty is hereby granted. My appeal is to every one, of all classes and con- j bilious, to ( nine forward treeiy cheerlully and with a good heart, to the work that lies before us. . ■ My cjiUDtijmen ! respond to this call as you have dene in days that have passed, and with the blessing ot | a kind and overruling Providence, the enemy shall he i driven lrom your soil, the security of your wives and I daughters, (torn the insults and the outrages of a bra- j tal toe, shall be established, soon to be followed by a | permanent and honorable peace. The claims of home j aud countiy, wife and children uniting with the be- ! ads of honor and patriotism, summon us to the field ; j t fail to respond.

Unparalleled in the annals of war is this act oi brutal tyranny ; aud no act ot vandalism has .secured as laige an amount of sympathy from our people. A great number of these poor exiles were with out any means of subsistence. They were thrown out upon the world without«any provision for their | support. They turned their eyes in agonizi g anxiety to the peopie for whom their naturalpre lectors vverojighting, or who had yielded up their Iive3 in their defence.

In addition to all this, 1 am informed that he has performed an immense amount of labor in the department of which he is chief.

By the Presidf nt : . J. P. Benjamin, Secretary of State. — —— ♦ — — We take the following well-penned remarks from the Richmond Whig of the 4th inst: RICHMOND AND ATLANTA. Suppose, instead of being baffled again in an “On to Richmond,” Grant actually entered the city, sacked its private dwellings, burned its pub lie buildings and polluted its loyal streets and beautitul squares with the tread ot his negro sol diery, would the Confederacy, we ask, have been conquered, or Lee and his army dismayed ?

James Ticaddily, The ; bridegroom, Lieut. Samuel Wilde Hard ing, who is about 30 years of age, was an officer in the United States Navy, holding the rank of Lieutenant on board of the American war steamer Connactacu. The lady, who is about the same age as tbe gallant bridegroom, was tbe daughter of Gen. Boyd, of tbe Southern States army, who lately expired in prison, having been made prisoner by tlie Federate. The la dy’s career is full of the most eventful, heroic and romantic features. Her father Gen. Boyd, who possessed vast estates in the territory, of Virginia, early embraced tire cause of Southern independence, and was soon entrusted with a command, ob taining the rank of General. His daugh ter, the btide enthusiastically embraced the same cause, followed her father to tho field, and accompanied him throughout bus campaign with the celebrated Stonewall Jackson, and on two ocaasions, heroically, as a modern Joan of Arc, led on the troops to battle ; she was, however, hi a skirmish, captured and made -prisoner, and con veyed to Washington, where she was im prisoned. Here she remained thirteen months, when she was exchanged for Gen. Coch rane, who had been made prisoner by the Confederates. On her return to the South, she went on board the Greyhound, a Con federate steamer which was captured by the Federal steamer Candactacu, while running the blockade. Lt. Harding was sent on hoard the Greyhound as prize master, with his young heroine asaprisou er. At this rate what would he left of us when we have made free the whole foilr millions? Will it not be like the Kilkenny cat fight ? Will there be any more left than the tails ? Camp Stephiks, > Near Gnflin On.

Good Advice.—If tie body is tired, rest; if the brain is tired, sleep ; if the bowels are loose, lie down in a warm bed and remain there, and eat nothing until you are well; if » n action of bpwels does not occur at the usual hour, eat not an atom till they do act, at least for 36 hours, meanwhile drink largely of cold water and hot teas, exercise in the open air to the extent of a gentle perspiration, and keep this up until things are righted' This one suggestion, if practiced, wou.d save myr iads of lives every year, both m the city and country. The best medicines in the world are warmth, and abstinence and repose. and Hon.Thcs. Hardeman as Speaker of the House. A quorum was found to be present iu both houses, end business was proceeded with. Tbe Governor's Annual Message was received and read, and or dered printed. The several portions relative to Finance, Confederate relations, the Judiciary &c, were referred to the Committees on the same. The following bills of general importance were introduced in the House on Friday. Mr. Hardeman, a bill to repeal so much of the act reorganizing the Militia, as authorizes the Governor to call into active service the militia be- | tween the ages fifty of and sixty years. Mr. Burtts, a bill to repeal all acts restricting the i planting and cultivation of cotton, j Mr. Russell of Chatham, a bill tc amend an act to prevent soldiers in set vice from being double taxed, and for the relief of such as have beeu 1 double taxed.

Mr. Gartrell, Resolutions, referring portions of tho Governor’s Message to Committees. In the Senate, on Friday, Mr. West introduced a bill to extend tho time allowed Tax Collectors for settling with the Comptroller General. Also resolutions referring to Resolutions adopt ed in 1863, relative to the determination of the people of Georgia.to carry on the War, &c. The Governor’s Message was referred to appro priate Committees. That portion in relation to the meeting of the Governors at Augusta, was re ferred to a special Committee composed of Messrs. Chambers, Walker, Groover, Barr, and Nisbet. Mr. Pottle offered a bill to pardon Richard i erate Grey, because more in consonance with | their beloved and beau-tiful Capital; but still with Richmond taken, the Yankees would have ! found armed men to meet them at every step as ! they advanced in the interior. While Richmond can never be taken, in onr ; opinion, let us not for the future continue to nur- i ture the foolish, delusive and pernicious idea that ; its fate settles once for all the fate of the Confed eracy. On the other band, neither let us place i'our sole reliance and dependence for victory in the precarious existence of any General, however great, skillful and fortunate. We have vet men, without rank, groping in the trenches, who may, perchance, elipse a.I who have essayed as yet to take command in our mighty struggle. The great Jackson fell, and his dearii caused a wide spread gloom, but others immediately came to the sur face, competent to mee4 the very best generals the North has produced during the progtess ol the war. Stuart followed him, having filled his meas ure of glory, and, lo !

By an Act, approved January 22, 1852, the div idends arising from the stock belonging to the State in the Bank of the State ot Georgia, the Bank of Ahgusta, and the Georgia Kail Road and Banking Company, were “set apait as a perma nent fund for the education of the poor." This fund was distributed as a “Poor delrool Fund” up to 1858.

It is tlie intention of Lt. Hardings, with Lis bride, to leave this country at the latter end of September to run tho blockade, and enter the service of the Southern States. Tho marriage cortege was comparatively private, being confined to tho bridesmaid and two or three lady friends, and the bridegroom, being attended by a number of American gentlemen ccnuccted with the South. After the conclusion of the ceremony, the parties repaired to tho Brunswick Hotel, Jermyu street, where the bridegroom lias resided since his so journ iu this country, and partook of an elegant dejeuner—Liverpool Post, Aug. 26. A MOTHER PI TS CtT THE EYES OF HER SOY TO KEEP HDI FROM THE WAR- [From the Indiana Banner.] -A deed to make humanity shudder was enacted recently in the neighborhood of Terre Haute.—Mrs John Eastwick, tlie wife of a respectable fanner, was the moth- re of seven children, all boys. In the early part of tho war two of these enlisted and served with Buell in Kentucky. One of them, the eldest, Ezra, died of exposure in camp, and his brother Thomas soon afterward suffered an amputation of the right leg from injuries received in a cavalry skirmish. These casualties operated up on Mrs. Eastwiek’s mind to such a degree that she lo3t all fortitude and presence of ! mind, and sat during whole days weeping I and full of forebodings.—Among her pre- : monition was a curious one that her third • son Stark would die in battle.

Tho Act of 1858 also provides, that in addi tion to the sums above specified., whenever tbe Governor redeemed any portion of the Bonds of the State then outstanding, he is to issue, in lieu oi iu o«ini8. other Bonds to be deposited with the Secretary of State as iuc Trustee ror me Kituen- tioual Fund of Georgia, and the interest on the same at 6 per cent, per arlnum, is to be annually added to this Fund, and be distributed. The issue of these Bonds t6 go on front year to year, in pro portion to the amouut of the Public Debt redeem ed, until the whole debt (atnountidg in 1858 to $2,627,000) is paid off. At which time, in addi tion to the $100,000 from the Road, and the Bank Dividends, tho whole interest of this $2,627,000, amounting to $157,620 00 annually is tube ad ded to the fund. In addition to these sums, the Governor is authorized annually to add any sur plus that may be in the Treasury at the time the apportionment is made. Up to October, 1863 however, only $397,250,00 of the Public Debt in Bonds had been redeemed since tbe passage of the Act of 1838, and there fore, the condition of this Fund for this year stands as follows: From*Bank Dividends $ 37,2S5 00 From interest on $387,750 Publie Debt redeemed. 23,235 00 From Western & Atlantic Railroad. 100,000 00 $ 160,520 00 Gen. Lee at his Headquarters.—A cor respondent, describing a recent visit Bo made to the army around Petersburg, writes the Mobile Register : We fouud General Lee quartered in a grassy yard, bis tents shaded by noble old trees. General Lee was in his tent, which is by no means a pretentious one, at tbe time of our visit, and my cousin and my self strolled by in order to get a look at Mrs. Xastwick’s fears grew intense. Finally the first draft came , the State had filled its quota in almost every district aud Stark promised his mother that under no circumstances, would be go to the field. But a second draft being projected tho mother’s excitement augmented. She en deavored to persuade her son todeave tho country and make a voyage to sea. He endeavored to pacify her, and left home for a time.—On his return, finding her in the eam® melancholy tram© of mind, he threatened, in jest, if she made further re ference to tho matter, to enlist voluntarily.

Some ofthe Northern papers are getting tired of the war being waged for ‘ nigger freedom.” Tbe New \ork Herald even relieves itself ofthe following on^he sub ject : This war to free the niggers has now raged relentlessly’ for three years, and what is the result ? There where at tho commencement four millions ot niggers in slavery. It is estimated that tho war has made one million free. But even all of this million have not been able to stand the ordeal of their passage from slavery to freedom. Two or three hundred thou sand have porisbed meanwhile by famine, disease and bullet6.
