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.

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 : B.
