jENTilAL GEORGIAN. ’ aa.Mr.-WM.P-PeTOUBH iathe duly au thorized agent of the Georgian for Washington countv. Public Meeting.. The citizens of Washington county are in vited to meet at the Court-house in Sanders- ville, on Tuesday, the 25th of June, at U o’clock, M., to take measures towards investing in Confederate bonds, and for other purposes. May 29th, 1861. Citizens, to Your Duty A public meeting of the citizens of Vasb- inirton county will be held at the Court house in°Sandersville, on TUESDAY, the fourth day of June next, for the purpose of adopting means to raise funds for the families of vo.unteers, appointing vigilance committees, an o «r. AH Invited to attend. purposes. A.' ■ , many citizens. May 29, 1861. See the postal advertisement of Major 1 rookies, in another column. gjgy* Several communications, obituaries, Ac., are unavoidably crowded out tins week. Our friends must have patience. Some ol them were banded in too late. We myite the attention of our citizens o the communications of “ N.” and “ Pro Pa ula” in this paper. It is time our people should act upon the measures Uiey recommend ^ The Ordinary of Putnam has recorded ac names of all the volunteers who hare gone -om that county to the seat of war. U hy houid it not be done in every county ? Rg®» President Davis has issued a proclama- 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 he occasion. We are requested to state, that on ac- > 0 unt of tbe disturbed condition of the country, he teachers and trustees of the Washington institute have thought best to make tbe first :erra consist of only five months, closing on Wednesday, 29th instant. The Fall term will open at tbe usual time, (last Tuesday in July), and continue five months. 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 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.
