ticular deters many civil oiHcers, who would be willing to

"While it is the duty of the State's to make provision to
compel deserters and persons absent without leave, to re

on them to make such provision for the families of the needy

ROBBER BANDS of I7ESEIWERS AND STAGGLING CAVALRY.
It is a lamentable fact that bands of deserters
from our armies, and small bodies of cavalry belonging
to the Confederate service are constantly robbing and plun
dering our people of their stock, provisions and other
property. This is generally done by these robber bands
under pretext of exercising the power of impressment, in
the name of the Government or of some General, who not
only knows nothing of their conduct but disapproves and
condemns it. They go armed and take what they please
by intimidation and force, having regard to neither age,
sex nor condition. The are not amenable to any civil pro
cess as there is not generally sufficient force at home to ar
rest them, and they pass on and cannot in future be iden
tified. If arrested and committed to prison they will aid
each other to e^ape by force if necessary. They arc law
less banditti ana should bo so treated.
I therefore recommend the passage of an aet declaring
all such outlaws, and authoring any citizen or association
of citizens whom they may atter^t to rob, to shoot them
down or slay them in any other way in their power, and to
baud Vogether and follow them when they have committed
a robbery in any neighborhood and slay them wherever
found. This is the only protection left our people at Jiorr.e
against the depredations of these incorrigible thieves.
RANK OE THE QUARTERMASTER AND COMMISSARY GENERAL.
The gentlemen who fill these positions have labored in
cessantly and faithfully to serve the State and promote the
public interest. I feel quite sure no two better officers
fill similar places in any State in the Confederacy.
The Code only gives them the rank of Lieut. Colonel and
allows the Governor no discretion in raising their rank no
matter how deserving they may be of promotion. As 1
know of no othei; State which has failed to give higher
rank to officers in these positions, I respectfully recommend
as au act of justice that their rank he raised to that of Brig
adier General.
GEORGIA MILITARY INSTITUTE.
Upon the advance of the enemy, in the direction of Mari
etta, I directed the Superintendent, Professors commanding,
and Cadets of the Georgia Military Institute, to report to
the Military commander for orders, and to aid in the de
fence of Atlanta, or such other points as they might be as
signed to. The order was obeyed with promptness and
cheerfulness, and they were, for a time, placed at the bridge
at West Point, then at a position on the River in front of At
lanta, and finally in the trenches. In every position, they
acted with coolness and courage, and won the respect and
confidence of-their commanders. Finally, when it became
necessarv to place troops at Milledgeville, for the defence
of the Capitol, against the raids of the enemy, I ordered
them to this place, where they are covered with tents, enga
ged in study part of each day, and the balance of the time
attending to their duties as a battalion of troops. I have
ordered them supplied with provisions by the Commissary,
while engaged in this service, and it will be necessary to pay
the Professors out of the Military fund, or to make a special
appropriation 1br that purpose.
STATE LINE.
The two Regiments of the State Lice have greatly distin
guished themselves, for cool courage and intrepid valor upon
the battle-field, and have rendered important service in the
defence of the State. The ranks of these gallant Regiments
have been decimated, and they are now greatly reduced. In
the short period from the time they reported to General
Johnston at the front, till the fall of Atlanta, they lost upon
the battle-field nearly 500 men, many of them as gallant as
any wbo have bled in freedom’s cause. For a mere detail
ed account of their services and losses, you are referred to
the able report of the Adjutant and Inspector General of the
State.
TIIE MILITIA.
The report of the Adjutant and Inspector General will
afford all necessary information, connected with the organ
ization of the Militia, which would have been a most thor
ough and efficient one, but for the interruption growing out
of the Conscript Acts since their organization, and would
have enabled the State to bring into the field, for her own
defence, when Atlanta was threatenecf, a force of some’ 30-,
000 men. after making all reasonable allowance for disabili
ty, &c.
Notwithstanding the difficulties with which the State au
thorities have had to contend, about 10,000 of the reserve
Militia were armed and sent.to the front, to aid in the de
fence of Atlanta, and other important points in the State.
No troops in the service discharged their duty more nobly
and faithfully. They received the commendation of Gener
al Johnston, General Ilood, and their immediate command
er Major General Smith, for their gallantry and good con
duct upon the battle-field. When '‘Atlanta fell they held
the post of honor, constituting the rear guard, which brought
off the reserve artillery of General Hood’s army. After
they had been ordered back to Griffin they were furlough
ed for 30 days, and have again assembled under their gallant
leader, and are in the right place nobly defending the soil
of their State.
In the Constitution of the Confederate States each State
has reserved the right to keep troops in time of W ar, \\ hen
actually invaded, as Georgia now is. Our fathers who form
ed th$ Constitution of the United States, from which we
have taken this provision of our present Constitution, fore
saw that no State could part with this right without an
unconditional surrender of her sovereignty, which they were
careful to provide against. The right of the Confederate
States, if we admit the. power of conscription, >and of the
State to raise troops, is mutual and concurrent. Each, in
that case, has the same right in war when the' State is inva
ded, to enlist troops into its service, and neither has the
right to take them out of the custody of the other, when
regularly received into its military service. This does n jt
of course admit the right of the Confederate Government
to enrol or interfere, with the officers, or necessary agents,
of the State government.
As the present organization of reserve Militia is the only
remaining force left to the State, she should, under no cir
cumstances, turn them over to the unlimited control of the
Confederate Government, or any other power. But she
should retain the control over them that she mav send them
to the field, when the Military exigencies require it, and
withdraw them at proper intervals, when her agricultural
and other material interests, imperatively demand it.
I turned over the organization first to General Johnston,
then to General Ilood, and now to General Beauregard,
giving each the absolute command and coutrol of the force,
reserving only the right to withdraw it from their com-
mafld, when, in my judgment, the safety of the State *o
ionger required it in the field. This right will, of course,
l>e exercised with due caution, after free conference with tfc#
commanding General, as was the case when I granted »ii-»
thirty days furlough, after the fall of Atlanta. Thisenabie.i
the troops to save a very important crop of the State, much
of which would otherwise have been lost, and caused no
embarrassment to General Hood, in the execution of his
plans. :v
CONVENTION OF GOVERNORS.
I transmit, herewith, a copy of Resolutions, adopted by
the Governor’s of Virginia, North Carolina, South Caroli
na, Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, convened in Augus
ta, on Monday, the 17th of October last, and respectfuliy
recommend the enactment of such laws as ifre necessary to
cany these resolutions into practical effect, so far as they)
contemplate action by the Legislatures of the respective
States. I also request the exercise of your legislative influ
ence to induce Congress to carry out such portions of the
recommendations as are addressed to that body. It is prop
er, in this connection, for me to remark, that I do not wish
to be understood by either of said resolutions, that I advo
cate the policy, in the present condition of our affairs, of
arming our slaves. I do however advocate the use of them
as teamsters, cooks, hospital servants, and in every other
menial capacity, in which their services can be made useful,
or in which they can relieve freemen from such pursuits that
they may take up arms.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion I earnestly invoke the blessings of Almighty
God upon your deliberations ; and humbly pray that He
will endow you with wisdom ffom above, and will guide
and direct all .your councils, till they result in the adoption
of measures, and the enactment of laws, which, while they
strengthen our forces, and give victory to our arms, will
lead to wise and just negotiations, which may stop the war,
with all its horrors, and secure the independence of the
Confederacy, with the rights and sovereignty of the Stater
unimpaired, thereby enabling us to maintain, to the latest-
generation, the inestimable blessings of civil and religious
liberty, protected by adequate Constitutional guarantees.

JOSEPH E- RROWN,
FROM THE flRONT.
The Columbus Inquirer has verbal reports from Gen. ITood’s
army up to Monday last. Everything was then going on prosper
ously, and the new developments were not at all significant of
Sherman’s ability to turn bis course southward this winter.
The Montgomery' Mail says that Sherman appears to be fol
lowing up tbc rear of our army, imagining it retreating and he in
pursuit. It is said that his cavalry had already made an attack
on Wheeler, who was protecting Hood’s rear, and that the Yan
kees were repulsed. T his apparent change of the aggressive
should give no uneasiness. It would perhaps be ‘‘contraband” to
disclose what we hear of the present position; but suffice to say
that even if Sherman should reach Blue Mountain.it will not
at all incommode or disconcert General Hood and his army.—
The advance would only render it much more difficult for Sher
man to extricate himself. We regard it as a settled fact that
"Sherman cannot now recover the line of communication between
Nashville and Atlanta. A few days more will develop the facts
upon which this opinion is based.
Generals Beauregard and Hood addressed the army the night
before leaving Gadsden, promising to lead them to the ac
complishment of deeds which would gladden the hearts of the
people at home and strike terror into the Souls of our enemies in
the West. They were cheered lustly from time to time, and the
greatest enthusiasm prevailed throughout the several corps.
The telegraph line upon the rout from Selma to Blue Muntain
has been completed, and the office has been moved from Talladega
to Oxford. Aline of couriers have been filling up the gap here
tofore.
A courer from Hood’s army has reached Blue Mountain, who
states that Hood had captured Decatur a few days since, with
four thousand prisoners.
It is reported that Wheeler had driven back the raiding party
which was advancing on Jacksonville, defeating them in a smart
little fight near Ladiga.
A Tax Question Settled.
Some of the Confederate tax collectors have been requiring
payment in the new currency of all fractions due for taxes be
tween the hundred dollar certificates. For instance, if a man’s
taxes amounted to one hundred and seventy-five dollars, they
would not take a two bundled dollar certificate or two one hund-
dred dollar certificates, in payment of the tax, but, would required
seventy-live dollars in treasury notes. The injustice of this
course is manifest, but we presume that collectors were acting
according to their instructions as they understood them. The
Columbus Enquirer learns however, that the Commissioner of tax
es, in answer to an appeal made by a tax payer or two in Georgia,
has decided that the collectors must receive certificates tendered
when they amount to all or more than tire tax due. If the tax
payer is wiling to pay in the whole certificate of one hundred
dollars or larger, when only a fraction of it is required to pay his
taxes, the collector must receive it. This decision meets the ap
proval of Secretary Treuholm, and no doubt instructions to ac
cordingly have beeu or will be sent to tax collectors.
We have read a leterfrom Mr. Allen, Commissioner of Taxes
(which was endorsed by Secretary Trenholm) to a gentleman in
this city, which corroborates the statement made above.

Tuesday, Nov. 2, 10 P. M. J
The first intelligent account we have received of the where
abouts and situation of the Army of Tennessee, reaches us through
a private letter to a well known gentleman of this city.
On the 23d ultimo, Hood's army passed Brookeville in North
Alabama. At this point it separated in the columns, all making
for the Tennessee river at three different points—Decatur. Whites-
burg and Gunter’s Landing.
Sherman's army followed nearly up to the Coosa river. His
advance skirmished with WHeeler’s cavalry up to the vicinity of
Gadsden. Here the Federal commander halted, and then went
hack, apparently neapHiased at the movements of our army.
By this time it is #ipposed that the three columns of our army
are safely over the river, and that they have converged some
where m the vicinity of Huntsville. The general impression is
that its futnre course will be in the direction ot Tuscumbia. Ev
erything was progressing favorably and all were in confident
spirits.

• Strange bot True.
A correspondent of the Columbia South C-arolinan writing
from Gary’s brigade; near Richmond, October, 16, vouches for the
following.
I must- tell you of a most carious adventure that lately befell
Lieut. Munnerlyn, acting Adjutant of the 7th South Carolina vol
unteers. In the fight on the 7th inst., the 7th, regiment had come
upon the led horses of^a regiment or two of “that Dutchman
Kautz.s” men, and was charging down the column, stopping the
riders and shooting those who refused to surrender or sought to
make their escape. Lieut. Munnerlyn, riding beside a fellow
who refused to give up, snapped his pistol three times, ineffectu
ally, close to his ear. Drawing his sabre, he then struck him a
