Mothers. — Each mother is a historian,
writes not the history of Empires or
rations, upon paper, but writes her
, wu history on the imperishable mind of
i )er child. The tablet and that history
•sill remain indellible when Time shall be
D0 more. That history each_ mother
shall meet again, and read again, with
eternal joy, or unutterable grief, in the
coming ages of Eternity. This thought
diouM weigh upon the mind of every
to ther, and render her deeply circum
,,M.ct, and prayerful, and faithful, in her
so j eai n work of training up her children
j or Heaven and Immortality. The minds
..f children are very susceptible and
asily impressed. A word, a look, u
{Vown. may engrave an impression on the
mind of a child, which no lapse of time
can efface or wash out. You walk along
die sea shore when the tide is out, and
you form characters, or write words, or
names, in the white, smooth sand, which
j s spread out so clear and beautiful a
your feet, accord ipg as your saucy may
dictate; but the returning tide shall, in a
few hours, wash out and efface all you have
written. Not so, the lines and charac
ters of truth or error, which your conduct
imprints on the mind of your child.
There you write impressions, the ever
lasting good or ill of your child, which
neither floods, nor the storms of earth, can
wash out, nor Death’s cold fingers erase,
nor the slow, moving ages of Eternity
Illiterate, llow careful, then, should
each mother be in the treatment of her
child 1 How prayerful, and how serious,
and how earnest, to write the Eternal
Truth of God on his mind—those truths
which shall he his guide and teacher
when her voice shall be silent in death.

PROCLAMATION.
BY THE GOVERNOR.
Whereas, notwithstanding the Executive Proclama.
tion of September 14th, 1868, many lawless acts have
occurred in violation thereof, whereby tiio lives and
property of citizens have been destroyed, the right of
tree speech impaired, the performance of the duties of
the offices to which citizens have been elected, denied,
the lives of citizens so threatened as to cause them to
abandon their homes and property;
And, Wheheas, “The protection of persons and
property is the paramount duty of Government, and
shall be impartial and complete;"
Axd, V hkrkah, The Sheriff of each County is, by
law, charged with the preservation of life, property,
and peace, In each county:
Now, therefore, I, Rufus B. Bullock, Governor, and
Commander-imChief of the Army and Navy of the
State of Georgia, and of the Militia thereof, do hereby
issue this, my Proclamation, charging and command
ing the said Sheriffs, and each and every other civil
officer in every Connty in thfs State, to see to it tha
the lives and property of all citizens, and the peace ol
the community, are preserved; and that all persons
are protected in the free exercise of their civil and
political rights and privileges. And, further, to make
known that, for failure in the performance of duty, the
said Sheriffs and other civil officers will be held to a
strict accountability, under the law. And, to charge
upon every person, resident in this State, that they
render prompt and willing obedience to the said
Sheriffs, and other civil officer, under all circumstances
whatsoever; and that they demand from said officers
protection, when threatened or disturbed, in their
person or property, or with denial of political or civil
rights; and, that sidling to receive such protection,
they report the facts to this Department
The following extract from General Orders No. 27,
dated October S, 1868, from Headquarters, Department
of the South, is published for the information of Civil
Officers and the general public, by which it will be
that said Civil Officers will, in the performance of
their duties, be sustained by the military power of the
United States.
Given under my hand, and the Great Seal of the State,
at the Capitol, in the City of Atlanta, this !>th day of
October, in the year of our Lord, eighteen hundred
and sixty-eight, and of the Independence of the
United States the ninety-third.
Rums E. Bullock,
By the Governor ;
David G. Cottino,
Secretary of State.
“HBADQ’ii.s, Department or the South, )
Atlanta, Gboeoia, Oct. S, 1368. )
General Orders No. 27.
Whereas, By an Act of Congress of the United
States, approved March 2d, 1863, it is made the duty
of the military authority to preserve the peace at the
polls at any election that may be held in auy of the
States; and, whereas, this duty has become the more
imperath e, from the existing political excitement in
the public mind, from the recent organization of civil
go > eminent, and from the fact that Congress has, by
statuce, prohibited the organization of military forces
in the several States of this Department, it is, there
fore, ordered,
“That the several District Commanders will, as soon
as practicable, on the receipt of this order, distribute
the treeps under their commands, as follows:
*****
In the District of Georgia ;
One company 16th Infantry, bo Albany.
One company 16th Infantry, to Columbus.
One company 16th Infantry, to Macon.
One company 16th Infantry, to Augusta.
One company 16th Infantry to Washington, (Wilkes
County.) "
One company 16th Infantry, to Americus.
One.company 16th Infantry, to Thomasville.
One company (C), sth Cavalry, to Athens.
The company at Savannah to be reinforled, should
occasion require, by such number of the men at Fort
Pulaski as can be spared from the post.
*****
“Detachments, when necessary, may be made to
points in the vicinity of each post; but, in no case, nor
on any pretext whatever, will detachments bo sent
without a commissioned officer, who will be fully
instructed by his Post Commander.
“The troops wili lie considered as in the field, and
supplied with the necessary camp equipage; tho men
to be furnished with common tents, if practicable, and
if not practicable, with shelter tents. Commanding
officers are permitted to hire quarters, temporarily*
when .1 can be done lor reasonable rates; but this will
hot preclude the necessity of carrying tents, as the
commands, in ad cases, must be in readiness to move
at the shortest notice, with all supplies required for
their efficiency.
“District Commanders will instruct Post Com
manders in their duties, and the relative position of
the civil and military powers. They will impress on
Post Commanders that they are to act in aid and co
operation, aud in subordination to the civil authorities;
that they are to exercise discretion and judgment, un
biased by political or other prejudices; that their
object should be exclusively to preserve the peace and
uphold law aud order; aud they must be satisfied such
is the object of the civil officer calling on them for aid;
that they must, in ail case3 where time will permit,
apply for instructions to superior authority; but they
must, at all hazards, preserve the peace, knd not be
restrained by technical points, when, in their consci-
»MBIB ©f ffßi jgffiwrcra
entious judgment, under the rules above set forth, it
is their dnty to act. Post Commanders, on being no
tified of the proposed holding of political meetings,
may send an officer, and, if necessary, a detachment,
to watch the proceedings, and see that the peace is
preserved,
“To the people of the several States composing the
Department, the Major-General Commanding appeals
that they will co-operate with him and the civil
authorities in sustaining law and order, in preserving
the peace, and in avoiding those scenes of riot and
bloodshed, and the wanton destruction of property
and life, which has already, in some instances, been
enacted in the Department. He urges abstinence
from all inflammatory and incendiary appeals to the
passions; discountenancing the keeping open of liquor
shops on days of political meetings and of election; the
abstaining from carrying arms, and asserting the indi
vidual right of construing laws by force of arms. No
just cause is ever advanced by resort to violence. Let
there be charity and forbearance among political op
ponents, whatever may be the result; let each good
citizen determine that all who, under the law, have the
right to the ballot shall exercise it, undisturbed. If
there are disputed points of law, let them be referred
to the Courts, and let not mobs, or political clubs, or
other irresponsible bodies, construe and undertake to
execute the law. This appeal is made in the earnest
hope that the Major General Commanding can rely on
the good sense and correct judgment of the mass of
the peopie, and that he will not be compelled to resort
to the exercise of the power with which he is intrusted,
and which he will most reluctantly employ. But he
thinks it his duty to make known, that, so far as the
power under his command will admit, he will not
permit the peace to be broken, anti that he will not be
restrained, in the conscientious discharge of hi.s duty,
by technicalities of laws made when the present
anomalous condition of affairs were neither anticipated
or provided for.”
By order of Major General Meade :
