on inviting the people of the Confederate
tates to observe Thursday, the 13th day of
une next, as a day of fasting and prayer, by
uch religious services as may be suitable for

We are requested to state, that on ac-

Wednesday, 29th instant.

Another- Battle.—On the night of the 19th
nstant, the Federal steamer Baltimore with
wenty men aboard, got aground at the mouth
,f the Potomac, when she was attacked ya
impeller manned with Confederate troops,
vho killed four of the Federal soldiers and
mortally wounded five others. Three othei
Federal troops were slighly wounded.
Kemoval of tbe Capital
The Confess of the Confederate States has
c ,novel the Capital from Montgomery to
tichmond, Virginia. Congress is to assemble
lt the latter place on the 20th of J uly, or soon-
:r, if called by President Davis.
Au Appeal to Patriotism•
Wc commend to the attention of the citizens
of Washington county, a short article unc er
the caption of “Sinews of War,” winch we
publish in another column of this weeks Geor
gian We learn from that article that Judge
Starnes and cx-Gov. Johnson addressed the
citizens of Burke at Waynesboro on the 16th
instant, appealing to capitalists “for their W
aid in behalf of the Confederacy.” A commit
tee of three from each district was appointed
to canvass the county for the purpose ol ascer-
certaimng to what extent the people would re
spond. Why cannot such measures be institu
ted in Washington county ? Is it because our
citizens are less patriotic than their neighbors?
Is it because they are too selfish to aid wit
their mosey in defending their homes from the
desecrations of a brutal soldiery, and averting
from their families a fate to which death were
preferable ? Are they insensible to the voice
of humanity, of patriotism, and satisfied that
others shall bear the burdens and privations ot
war, at no expense to them ? We will not an
swer these questions, but leave them for he
consideration of our citizens, satisfied that the
response to each and every one of them will be
such as will do honor to people battling for life,
liberty and independence. .
Wc will not believe that any community ot
people in the Confederate States are so obliv^
ious to the great interests at stake m t m pres
ent unparalleled contest as to inglor.ously and
ignominiously, at a safe distance from the im
mediate horrors of war, revel m " ca ‘
luxury, while everywhere around them, and
from every quarter throughout the nation
comes up the busy note of preparation to as
sist the brave volunteer who has perilled all in
defence of his country's interests and honor.
Lawyers, doctors, farmers, editors, printers,
cx-congressmen, legislators, mechanics-all
classes in the Confederate States are offering
their all in their country’s defence. Thousands
who cannot assist in a pecuniaij " a y aic o"
ing that which is above all price—their lives—
i in the cause of liberty and the-South. In many
communities thousands of dollars have een
freely given to assist volunteers in equipping
themselves comfortably, and to support tlieir
families in their absence. An almost universal
desire prevails to see who can do most towards
protecting the honor, and securing the inde
pendence of the Confederate States of Amen
ca This is no less the duty than the interest
of all our citizens ; and he who is abundant y
supplied with the wealth of this world should
feel the heavier obligation resting upon im
to defend that wealth from the grasp of the
invader. All-rich and poor-however arc
interested in the struggle, and the mite of the
poor will find honor alike with the heavy purse
of the rich. We sincerely trust that our citi
zens will be alive to tbe importance and neces
sity of taking steps in this matter, and will not
permit it to be said that ours is the only county
where no “material aid” has been rendered for
tbe support of our volunteers, and their fami
lies, and for the general cause of the South
We know they only need to be properly aroused
to nobly vindicate themselves. There are now
several' companies in the county that will
shortly be ready to answer their country , call-
LA the patriotic people of W ashington see
that they and their families arc properly cared
for, as other counties in the State have done
and we may rest assured that our army will
triumph ou every field.
A meeting is called at the Court-house in
Saudersville on the first Tuesday in June to
raise contributions for volunteers and then
families, and for other purposes. Those de
posed to assist in achieving their country
freedom will then have an opportunity. Sc
the notice in another column.
Governor Brown's Address.
Governor Brown, in his able and patriotic
address—which we publish elsewhere-poiuts
oat the mode in which contributions may be
made by the citizens of Georgia to aid in our
cause. Let all read it and act upon its recom
mendations. The suggestion that not a bag of
cotton should be shipped during the war, is a
wise one, and merits the consideration of every
patriot. The effect of this measure being car
ried out would do as much to aid us in van
quishing onr soulless enemies at the North as
any other policy which could be pursued. When
England finds that she cannot have her cus
tomary supply of cotton, because of the crazy
doings of the Kaugaroo and his clan of marau
ders,°slie will not be very apt to split hairs with
them about disregarding the paper blockade
That the North may provoke a quarrel wi,h
England on this subject should be the devout
wish of every Southron. At present there is a
very fair indication of such a result, for #e see
it stated in the Charleston Mercury that there
was a violent rupture last week between Lord
Lyons, the British Minister, and Seward, Lin
coln’s fugleman. The Liverpool Times of May
4th states that there were then but twenty-three
weeks’ consumption of cotton on hand iu Eng
land. If that be the case, and there is no
doubt of it, Abraham will shortly have his at
tention diverted eastward.
It is by no means improbable that the Con
cress of the Confederate States will buy all the
next Cotton crop with Confederacy bonds.
Those, therefore, who have plenty and will not
aid the Government in its extremity for money
to carry on the war, will be compelled to assist.
People who think more of filthy lucre than
country may ponder upon the subject. ^ .
Another wise suggestion of Gov. Brown’s is,
that so soon as the wheat crop is harvested, let
every farmer plant an early kind of corn so as
to increase the crop. None will question the
wisdom of this, and, if acted upon, as we trust
it will be, the country will be the morestrengt
ened against our fiendish enemies.
A Despotic Act.
Lincoln has caused the record of all the tele
graphic dispatches, official and private, that
have passed over the lines at the North w
in the last twelve months to be seized. A
simultaneous descent was made upon the offic
in every city and town in his territory.
this we need not cross the Atlantic to apeak of
Russian and Austrian despotism. This meas
ure was taken to discover who were sympathi
zers with the South, and of course affects only
his own people. Wise man, that Lincoln. It
he could only be permitted to have his own
way in everything, the Confederate troops would
have very little to do but gather up the accou
trements of his invading hordes as they drop
them in their haste to place a safe distance be
tween their cowardly carcasses and the bound
ary of the Southern Confederacy.

The Decay ol Nations.
The most observable feature in the condition of
Grecian society, just previous to the tall of the Re-
bublic was its desperate fickleness, levity and
veDality Men seemed possessed by the Demon of
Instability and Restlessness. In one continuous
whirl, they were forever rushing from one mad
follv of pleasure or passion to another. The chief
business of her rulers seemed to bo, to occupy the ■
mind of the masses from hour to hour and day to
dav Public games, plays, exhibitions of all airts,
and on the most expensive scale, was the daily
routine of the populace To pause m he mad ca»
reer was like stopping an engine at full speed. It
was to ensure destruction to the government. The
faithlessness and fickleness ot the Greek became
proverbial. They seemed but to live for some tem
porary excitement. And in the pursuits the pub-
lie mind, like a drunken man, swayed to and fro
at every step- Greece was drunk with prosperity.
Effeminate in habits, emasculate in mind, all man
hood was sunk in levity and licentious imaginings.
The fall of the Roman Republic, and still more,
the fall of the Roman Empire, exh.b.td these same
characteristics of society. It is the sure indication

Alexandria, Virginia, on the 24th, o • ’ ■'
worth, of tlie New York Zouaves, attempted
to pull down a secession flag floating over the
Marshall house, owned by a Mr. Javkson, o
that city. Jackson shot and instantly killed
Ellsworth, but was himself cut to pieces by the
Zouaves, who completely riddled him with their
bayonets. Thus has perished Ellsworth, a
prominent leader in this execrable war, and
commander of tbe most villainous and fiendish
sot of cut-throats that ever disgraced any coun-
by toir presence. The memory of ‘ h « I
