UPSON COUNTY.
Among the Grand Jury presentments of this old
and patriotic county, at the late session of its
Superior Court, we find the following:
We also recommend the Inferior Court to levy
and assess, (in addition to the ordinary Tax for
county purposes) such a per centum upon the State
fax, as they may deem necessary lo raise a suffi
eient amount of money, to provide for the needy
tannlies of volunteers, who have gone or may go
into the service of the Confederate States, from
I oson county, or for defraying the expenses of
equipping and uniforming said volunt.-ers, and
that assessing the same, the property of the said
volunteers, be exempt from such extra tax.
We cannot refrain from au expression of our
feelings in regard to the all-absorbing idea of war.
We greatly deplore the existence of this war—we
would have preferred peace; but our people pro
claim with one voice, that the position we have
Liken a* a people, shall be defended, and the soil
of the Confederate States shall not be desecrated
by the tread of our Northern foes with impunity;
that in tbe language of the immortal Emmet, *e
will immolate them in their boats, should they
effect a lauding; we will dispute the territory inch
by inch, and the last intrenchnient of liberty shall
be our graves.
Jepfersoxvillk, May 17th, 1801.
Messrs. S. Rose & Co.: —You will please notice
the following in your paper, for such is the spirit
that should animate us all in these trying times:
A Max of the Riuut Spirit.—ln speaking of
contributions to soldiers, when asked how a man
shouhi act when he had debts to pay, Mr. John
Chapman, of Jeffersonville, (who has the needful)
said, “ I have debts to pay too, but the soldiers’
cau*e is my cause, and he shall be paid first.”
With such a man, aud tho9e too who are the heads
of families, who are willing, not only to send their
sons, but to contribute freely to the poor soldier
their money and sympathies, we can and will bid
defiance to Lincoln and his horde of abolition
demons.
Being animated by such nohle sentiments as
these, the world combined cannot subjugate us
without waging a war of extermination.
Yours truly, Joel J. Denson.

Refusal to I’ekuit Free Blacks to Pass. —An
application made by private parties in the Ftstern
States to Governor Curtin to permit bodies of free
blacks to pass through Pennsylvania, has met with
an unconditional refusal. Great satisfaction is ex
pressed here with the Governor’s refusal, by men
of all partiev. The object of these applications
was to rouse slaves in the Southern States to re.
hellion. So says a dispatch from Harrisburg, Pa,
Joint ICaiidolpli on Nt ccHsion.
In 1833, John Randolph of Roanoke attended
a public meeting at Charlotte Court House, Vir
ginia, and introduced sundry resolutions, the fourth
of which is tbe following:
“That Virginia ha 9 never parted with the right
to recall the authority so delegated, for good and
sufficient cause, nor the right to judge of the suf
ficiency of such cause, and to iteeede from tbe Con
federacy whensoever she shall find the benefits of
the Union exceeded by its evils.” .
A Good Movement.— We perceive the Inferior
Court of Bibb county have levied a tax upon prop
erty outside of the corporate limits of Macon, to
correspond with the one fixed by the City Council
upon those living in the city, for the relief of the
necessitous families of soldiers—that is, one fourth
the amount of last year’s State tax.
This is all right. War is waged for the honor
or interest of all, and its burthens should be borne
by every citizen, in such manner a- his ability
shall justify. Direct taxation is the equitable plan,
for while the large majority of the southern people
are willing voluntarily to contribute their full share
for the support of war, there arc those in every
community who contribute to nothing, except un
der the compulsion of law.— Sao. Republican.

Portsmouth, Va., May, ’6l. )
The following preamble and resolutions were
unanimously adopted :
An all-wise, though inscrutable providence,

the unfading wreath of Victory—we desire, while
we bow with reverence and submission to the
behest of Him in whom we trust and in whose
hands are the destinies of men and nations, to
hear an humble tribute to our departed friend and
brother soldier; therefore
Ist. Resolved, That in the death of private,

upright and high-toned gentleman.

his virtues, and endeavor so to live that should we

more glorious encampment above.
