LCO M MU NICATED. J
Atlanta, September 4, 18G1.
To the People of Georgia
We now have in the service of the Confeder
ate States twenty-five Regiments and three Bat
tallions, who have gone under State authority,
and six or seven Independent or Confederate
Regiments, who have gone under direct tender
to, and orders from the Secretary of War, mak
ing together about 30 ,Oso gallant Georgia
troops. Over 20,000 offthis number are now
in Virginia.
They are our fellow-citizens, our neigbbors t
our triends, our relatives. They are enduring
all the hardships and toils of a Soldier’s life, in
defence of our wives, our children and our com
mon country. Winter will soon be upon us;
and it will he impossible for them to get, es
pecially in Virginia, with the money allowed
them for that purpose by the Confederate Gov
ernment, such supplies of clothing, shoes and
blankets as are absolutely necessary in that se
vere climate, tu their health and comfort. Shall
we permit them to suffer for the necessaries of
life, while we have plenty at home! Never!
To prevent this I propose, at public expense, to
purchase for them, such supplies as can be had
in Georgia, of such articles as are most essen
tial.
Some of our manufacturers are making a
good article of plain woollen cloth ; others are
making leather and shoes, while our ladies, who
have acted so noble a part, are in different parts
of the State making quantities of woollen jeans
cloth. The soldiers need all we can spare. I
wish to purchase for them 30,000 pair of good,
plain, serviceable shoes; and woolleu cloth, in
cluding country jeans; enough to make 30,000
suits of clothing, together with all the good
blankets that can he found in the market.
I therefore invite all manufacturers of shoos,
or woollen cloth, who cau assist in supplying
the demand, and all persons having good blank
ets for sale, to inform me of the supply which
each can furnish, and the price at which each
of the Superior Court in each county to act as
agent for the purchase of woollen jeans from the
ladies, and to inform me at an early day of the
price of that article in his county. It is hoped
that the ladies will use every reasonable exer
tion to make a supply of this very desirable arid
useful article, and will furn’sh delivered at the
offices of the Clerks of the Superior Courrs at
reasonable prices all they can spare. Prompt
action is respectfully solicited.
The supplies above mentioned are intended
alike for all Georgians in the service, where
ever they may he, embracing as well those who
belongto Independent or Confederate Regiments,
as those who belong to regularly organized State
Regiments. Assistance to be afforded first to
those found to be most needy. Copies of this
address will he forwarded to the Secretary of
War with request that he send them to the Col
onels commanding regiments from Georgia, who
are respectfully requested to report to roe at
the earliest day possible, such necessities of
those under their respective commands as can
not he supplied with the means at their dispo
sal.
I am informed that large numbers of soldiers,
from this State, are now sick in Virginia, far
aw ay from their homes and friends. They must
have prompt, attention. A patriotic and humane
association of Georgians at Richmond have ta
ken steps to establish a Hospital there, for our
sick and wounded. They have informed me of
the facts, aud appealed to trie for assistance, and
I have promptly ordered the funds which are
necessary to establish the Hospital to be placed
at their disposal. They will need supplies of
sheets, blankets, coverlets, and such other ar
ticles as may be necessary to alleviate the suf
ferings, and add to the comfort of the sick and
wounded. I appeal to the ladies of Georgia to
take from their own household supply, and send
enough, at once, to relieve the sick aud woun
ded’ Let the donations from each locality, be
boxed and sent, with the names of the donors,
and the use for which they are contributed, to
Quarter-Master General Ira 11. Foster, at Atlan
ta, who will forward them to Virginia at pub
lic expense, together with any contributions
which may be made to the soldiers by their
friends.
Citizens of Georgia, our cause is the cause of
religion and humanity. The struggle in which
we are engaged, is the struggle of a great and
free people, to maintain the heritage of Liberty
and Independence, transmitted to us by our
Revolutionary fathers of 1776. The effort of
the Lincoln Government is an effort to subju
gate us to tyranny and oppression. The cause,
of the Confederate States is the cause of every
patriotic citizen ol the South. We believe God
is with us, and presides in our councils. Let
us try to live near to Him and implore His con
tinued favor. We have at the helm of State,
the distinguished Statesman and invincible
warrior, Jefferson Davis. By his side we have ;
Georgia’s own great Statesman, Alexander 11. I
Stephens. They are worthy of our fullest con
fidence. Let us all with one heart and mind,
by universal acclamation, continue them in the
proud position they now occupy. Their suc
cess is our success, their defeat would he our de

made in vain ? I know 7 it will not.

By request we publish the following from the Prim
itive Baptist:
From a Slave.
Rocky Mount , A r . C., June 30, 1861.
Dear Bro. Temple and all to w hom this
may come :
Enclosed you will find a one dollar bill, of
Greensboro’, for my subscription to the Primi
tive, for which my time has run out a little. —
I hope you will look over, as I could not get
any one to write for me before. Also brother
Temple, I have been writing for you, in my im
perfect way and stammering manner, and you
have thought enough of my pieces to publish
them, I have also been trying to bring up the
Primitive faith and order ; and I have also been
trying to do my duty to bring up a servant’s
duty towards his master : and in doing this, I
have to begin at. Genesis ix. 20. “And Noah
began tube an husbandman, and he planted a vine
yard : (21st verse.) And he drank of the wine
in his tent. (22nd.) And Ham, the father of
Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and
told his two brethren w’thout. (-’Sid.) Anl
Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it
upon both their should-ers, and w r ent backward,
and covered the nakedness of their father; and
their faces w 7 ere backward, aud they saw not
their father's nakedness. (24tlr) And Noah
awoke from liiswine, and knew 7 what his youn
ger son had done unto him. (25th.) And he
said, Cursed be Canaan ; a servant of servants
shall he he unto his brethren. (26th.) And he
said, Blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and
Canaan, shall be his servant. (27th.) God shall
enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents
of Shem ; and Canaan shall be his servant.” —
It seems that this was the way that servants
were brought into the world ; and God has or
dained that there should be servants among his
people from that day until this, for the benefit
of both master and servant. For a proof of this,
Abraham was a man of God, and had servants.
We read in Gen. xiv. 14, “He armed h s train
ed servants born in his own house, three hun
dred and eighteen, and pursued them unto
Dan.” Also in Gen. xxiv. 34, “And he said,
lam Abraham’s servant.” Also in Lev. xxv.
44, “Both thy bondmen, and thy bondmaids,
which thou shalt have, shall he of the heathen
that are round about you; of them shall ye buy
bondmen, and bondmaids.” (45th.) “More
over of the children of the strangers that do so
journ among you, of them shall ye buy, and of
their families that are with you, which they
begat in your land • and they shall be your
possession.” (46th.) And ye shall take them
for an inheritance for your children after you,
to inherit them for a possession ; they shall be
your bondmen for ever.” So it seems that this
is God’s law, which he gave to Israel when they
went into the land of Canaan ; that they should
possess their servants and when they died their
childien were to inherit the same rights; and
that being the law of the Old Testament, we
will also come to the New Testament to prove
that there are servants, and their duty a9 ser
vants ; for the church at Ephesus had both
masters and servants, and Paul exhorted ser
vants to be obedient to their masters according
to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in single
ness of heart, as unto Christ. So, my colored
friends and brethren, we should fear our mas
ters as we would Christ in doing his will ; not
with eye-service, as men-pleasers, hut, as the
servants of Christ, do the will of God from the *
: J • |
heart. I understrnd Paul here in saying, Not
by eye-service, as men-plcasers, to mean this :
There are some servants that use hypocrisy. —
While in sight of their masters they pre
tend to be better servants than they are- They
idle away their time, and are very careless. Os
such there is no confidence to be placed in.—
Dear colored brethren of the Primitive order, if
there should be any among you that bear 6uch
a character, try to awake to your duty to your
master, ia the flesh and to your God, in order
to avoid their frowns upon us. For Paul also
Whatsoever any good man does, the same
shall be received of the Lord, whether he bo
bond or free; and the servant’s good things
consist, in pare at least, ia being obedient to
his master, and being careful towards his mas
ter, and being careful towards his service. Al
so Paul’s epistle to the Colossians, 3rd chapter
and 22nd verse : “Servants, obey in all things
your masters according to the flesh ; not with
eye-service, as men-pleasers ; but in singleness
of heart, fearing God. (23rd.) And whatsoever
ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not
unto men.” I take Paul to mean that if a mem
ber or professor of a church, being a servant,
walks disorderly to his master’s command, is not
worthy of the Christian name, and our Primitive
church should not fellowship such. Also,
Paul’s epistle to Titus, ii. 9: “Exhort servants
to he obedient unto their own masters, and to
please them well in all things ; not answering
again” So for this cause I try to exhort my
colored brethren to their duty towards their
masters; for I think Paul here means by ‘“not
answering again,” that the servant should not
speak crossly and in anger to his master ; for
Solomon says, “A hard word stireth up strife,
but an easy word appeaseth wrath.” So we
should always answer our masters with, as good
words as we can. “Not purloining, but show
ing all good fidelity : that they may adorn the
doctrine of God our Saviour in all things,” I
understand the apogtle to mean by “not pur
loining,” not to steal any thing; for 1 think
that is the way for servants to he, to adorn the
• it x i
Also Paul says, “For the grace of God that l'ring
eth salvation hath appeared unto all men, Teach
ing us that, denying ungodliness and worldly
lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and
godly, in this present world.”—Titus ii. 11, 12.
Paul says also in his Ist epistle to Timothy vi.
1 “Let us many servants as are under the yoke
(ount their own masters worthy of all honor,
that the name of God and his doctrine he not
blasphemed. So I my colored brethren,
by dishonoring our masters, we cause the name
of God to be blasphemed. Also the same chap
ter, and 2nd verse, “And they that have believ
ing masters, let them not despise them, because
they are brethren ; but rather do them service,
because they are faithful and beloved, partak
ers of the benefit.” I think Paul here means,
that if we and our masters both are professors,
that we should do him more service if possible,
for we are brethren in the Spirit, and should
promote him with all honor, as Eleazor did
Abraham, his master.
These things did Paul tell Timothy to teach
and exhort; and these things, brother Temple,
I think should be taught in this day to ©ur col
ored brethren and sisters ; and if you should
think this worthy of publication in your paper,
you can publish it: if not cast it aside. Cor
rect all mistakes for me if you should publish it.
I write it to be read in all of the Southern States
by those who may take your paper to their ser*
vants, as an advice to my colored brethren and
sisters and friends. “And if any man teach
otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words,
even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and
to the doctrine which is according to godliness:
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about
questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh
envy,strife,railings, evil surmisings, perverse dis
putings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute
of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness :
from such withdraw thyself.”
Dear brethren, let us withdraw ourselves
from all such professors as them.
Brother Temple, we have been in a cold state
at Falls church, but at our last meeting, the 2d
Saturday and Sunday in this month, brother ft.
D. Hart was with us, and two young converts
came forward and gave in their experience, waa
received and baptized on Sunday, by brother
Hart. On Saturday his text was in Isa. Ii ii. 1,
2: “Who hath believed our report? and to
whom is the arm of the Lord revealed ? For h,e
shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and
as a root out of a dry ground : he hath no
nor comeliness ; and when we shall see him,
there is no beauty that we should desire h’^. u
And on Sunday his text in Rev. xii. \ . “And
there appeared a great wonder ; a
woman clothed with the sun. ‘ D( j moon un
der her feet, and upon her a cro^a of
twelve stars.”
Yours, truly.
