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 feat 1 At the call of the President, our troops have rallied to their country’s standard, and are ready to shed their blood if need he, in their country*.* cause.

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.
