General Ohders, No. 7.
The commanding General considers
it due to the army to state that the
temporary reduction of rations bos been
caused by circumstances beyond tbo
control of those charged with its sup
port. Its welfare and comfort.aro the
objedts of his constant and earnest so
licitude: and no effort has.been spared
to provide for its wants. It is hoped
that the exertions now being made will
render the necessity but of short dura
tion, but the history of the army has
shewn tb‘at the country can require no
sacrifice too great for its patriotic devo
tion.

Cheering Signs..
Our telegraphic column of this morn*
ingi contains much that is both inter*
esting and suggestive of much that is
encouraging. | The sudden advance of
the Confederate cotton loan in England
from forty to fifty cents, the refusal to
grant a new trial in the case of Alex*
andria, the resignation of Wenatof Bay
nrd, of Del., rather than take the hew
test oath required by the Yankee Sen
ate, the mustering out of service the
9th Federal army corps,' the withdraws
at Wilson’s motion for the expulsion of
Garrett Davis, of Kentucky, and the
general indisposition of the Yankee
qoldivt s to re enlist* are all most encour
aging signs, and go to show that the
powers of Lincolndom are sadly if not
hopelessly on the wane.
The principle involved in the cose of
the Alexandria, if we mistake not,'also
applied to and would determine the
fate of tho Confederate rams, seized up.,
on some time ago by the British Gov
ernment, and held to await, the deci
sion of the court. As tho Alexandria
lias been released under this decision,
so-we have a right to expect that tho
rains will also be at once liberated.
It is this fact. In all probability, that
has caused the sudden jump in - the
Confederate loan, as it gives promise of
an early opening of ono or more of our
ports, whereby cotton may be got out
in safety, wherewith to meet this loan.
In addition t* all this, wo look for
ward to an early collapse in the Feder*
al finances, accompanied with a gener
al burst up that, will bring despondency
and dismay to our dastard and ruth loss
invaders.—Memphis Appeal.
The Situation.
t>ay by day the prospoct grows bright-,
er before us. Cloud after cloud vanish
es frotli the horizon. Full soon “the
sun of AUsterlitz,” tho harbinger of vic
tory, will shine upon us in uncloudod
splendor.
Ouvtroops everywhere nre ro-enlist
ing for the War; (ho Yankeo troops at
Chattanooga and other points refuso to
ro-enlist.
All accounts represent ben. Lee’s
eran army as being in splondld condi
tion.
Tho same may bo said, and is daily
said of the Army of Tennessee. »
The forces undei General Lengstreet
are rapidly sweeping .the enemy from
East Tennessee.
Gen. ForreOt, We learn, will have a
force of ten thousand men, well armed
and mounted.
Gen. Morgan will soon be ‘upon the
war path against tho head of a large
force, all handsomely equipped.
The tide turns in oup favor. Gener*
al Jones has captured two Yankeo
forces in Western Virginia, ono of them
consisting of 500 men.
Gen. 'Pickett has obtained a brilliant
victory in North Carolina, as stated in
our telegraphic dispatches ofyesterday.
Our Dalton correspondent, "290,”
telegraphs us that the Yankees say they
will be’com'pelled to abandon Chatta*
nooga and fall back to tho North side
of the river.
The enemy ha* abandoned North
Mississippi, and the people -there', so
long subjected to bis tyranny, are-once
more free.
Charleston—tho brave and bSatitlfUl

, Cotton Cards. -
We understand, says the Milledge-
ville Recorder, that the increased num*
her of machine* constructed in the
Penitentiary, for the manufacture of
Cotton Cards, will do much towards
supplying n great pubtltffteed, and that
Cards may now be bud at tbe sale-room
at the Old price of 8lx dollars a pair,
half in skins, and the dtlier half in
money. This is u ehutigo of the for
mer rule; which required th* whole
price io be paid ih skins. For the ben<
eflt ef those desiring Cai-ds on these
terms, atid th no other way can they be
obtained at the Penitentiary,) we again
state the quality of skins, and tfio
price, to buy a pair of Cards:
For sheep, goat, dog or deer skins,
rsw.^tbe price ayowed is 25. eonts for
22 inches in length and five inches in
width; and for tanned skins of the
same description, the sum is fifty cents.
The skins must be sound, aqd without
holes, It. will take from two to three
skins, according to size, to bring three
dollars in exchange; the other three
dollars will be received in money for a
pair oi Cards, under the present regu*
lations. Address Thomas T. Winsor.
One dollar additional must be sent for

‘‘We have had the coldest weather,

quite warm. To give you an idea how
cold it was I will relate a circumstance.
We have in oUr regiment a veryunpop-

spoken would fresze before they could
travel two feet. The men took that
occasion to approaoh close to (he offi

To Gen. S. Coopor: On the 30th, Gen.
Rosser captured 93 wagons loaded with

CIRCULAR.
State of Georgia,
Adj’t and Insf’r Gen’l’s Ofeice,
Milledgeville, Jan. 30th, 18G4.
As the enrollment prescribed by tkia
Act, will not, of itself, in any manner
interfere with the ordinary avocation
of Citizens.; and as they cannot bo dis
turbed except in cases of extreme ne
cessity,' tbe Governor declines to grant
any exemptions or details until such
contingency may arise as. shall force
him to call the militia into active ser
vice. Thqh lie will be better able to
judge, whether or not the public in*
terests, at that time, Will warrant special
exemptions or derails from service in
the field.
Independent or volunteer Companies
are not permitted by the Law re-organ
izing thS Militia—one uniform military
system throughout tho State/haring
been prescribed by taw.
Very respectfully,
Henry C. Wayne,
Adjutant and Inspector General ,
Resolution of tho Last Legislntnre as
to Sheep nnd. Dogs.
Tho last Georgia Legislature adopted
the following joint resolution,'viz:
Resolutions requiring Tax Payers to
make returns of the number of sheep
and dogs owned by each Tax Payer
Whereas it is highly important to
tho interests of the citizens of this
State to be informed as its present con.
ditio'n and future prospeets with regard!
to a supply of wool, and ns to the best
means of increasing the same.
Be it further Resolved, That it shall he
the duty of tho Tax Receivers in the
several counties of this Stato, when they
take in* the return of Tax-payers in
their respective counties, to require all
tax payers to -make a return of the
number of sheep which they may own
at the tine of giving in ; also the num*
her of sheep which-they may' have had.
killed by dogs within one year previous
thereto; also ths number of dogs own
ed hyphen! or on their premises. -
This is a good resolution, and it is to
be hoped all tax-payers will mako a
full nnd fair return to the various Re.
oeirere of Tax Roturns. If this resohn
tion is fairly carried out, our tax books
in the fall will settle the “vexed quest
tion" os to which wc have most of in
tho State,- sheep or dogs. If a tax
payer has a dog or dogs and no sheep,
he has to return them: if he has both,
l^e has to return tbe number he owns
of each. .
8@- Gov. Watts, of Alabama, has
telegraphed to a citizen of Selma, that
Mobile will probably be attackod very
Boon by tbe enemy and as it is desirable
that noncombatants should be absent
during tho siege, it will be incumbent
upon the people of Selma to extond
suoh hospitality to those of the junfor
tunate refugees, as the intelligence and*
generosity of all good men and women
will diotate under the circumstances.
Glass Factory.—A Glass Factory has
been established in Columbus, Georgia,
under favorable auspices. This, wo

is, in a measure, simple and tho mate
