The Columbus Times lias and interesting
letter, dated Portsmouth, Va., May liO,
troni a member of the Columbus City Light
Ciutuds, which gives some entertaining par
ticulars of Sewell's Pcint affair :
The City Light Guards were in the fore
most car ol the train that brought us into
the borders of Virginia, and our feet was the
first of all the Georgia troops to press Virgin
ia soil. We are proud of this, but it is not
our chief glory. We have tired the first gun
at the enemy, aud share the honors of the
tirst glorious \ ietory achieved for the South
ern Confederacy in the good Commonwealth
of the good “Old Dominion.”
At eleveu o’clock yesterday morning just
as our ehamplain—lfev. Thos. H. Jordou—
had commenced his sermon to our battalion,
at our camp at Tanner’s Creek Cioss Roads,
(whither we were ordered last Friday) a mes
senger from General Gwynii notified Maj.
Hardeman that one company from his battal
ion would be needed immediately at Sewell’s
Point. As Capt. Colquitt is, by commission,
the senior officer among the companies com
posing our battalion, the eager desire of his
company to go was yielded to. W ith one
day s rations, we were ready in fifteen min
utes for the com maud, “march.” It was
given, and with a very quick step, we reach
ed the Point, seven miles off, about half-past
twelve. As we neared the fort, we march
ed half bent, so as to conceal ourselves from
the enemy, and we were kept in ambush
uutil the firing commenced. A two.masted
steamer-the Monticelio—was lying oft about
three quarters of a mile from the fort. Un
usual activity was manifested on her deck.—
Large crowds of men were running about,
some with glasses iu their bauds, others were
sighting and adjusting the guns, and every
thing indicated active preparations for an
attack. From the same anchorage she had
the evening before attempted to demolish
tort Beauregard—the construction of which
had commenced only a day or two ago.—
As there was not then a single gun there,
and none but negroes working on it, the work
was suspended, and she was allowed to wast
her powder on it. Rut altogether a differ
ent reception greeted her guns yesterday
AN e had all been working on the interior of
the fort and mounting guns from the moment
we landed.
We kept the embrasures closed with color
ed blankets so that our movements and the
number of our men could not be discovered
by them—At 6 o'clock P. M., private Cleve
land of our Company went out in front of
the battery, to shovel away a large bank of
sand that obstructed the sighting of oar guns;
and this act was the last “hair that broke the
camel’s back” of their endurance. An eight
inch shell came whizzing from the boat,
struck the battery, and exploded, immedi
ately English Lockhart seized our flag, ( that
flag — THE flag) ran out and waved it three
times, and planted it—our men all mounted
the ramparts, pulled off their caps and shout
ed three cheers for having been accomodated
with the tirst fire. Each squad ran to their
guns, and waited the command “fire P’ and
when it was given, it was hearty good will
that “pulled the strings,” of the live guns in
our battery(three Cinch columbiads and two
small rifle cannon.) Our men were so impet
uous and hasty in their movements, that all
our shots,for several rounds,were aimed either
too high or too low ; but all of them were
line shots.
The enemy had three 8 inch columbiads
from which they kept up a rapid and inces
sant firing. Their guns were aimed with
remarkable precision. Any one of their shots
would have struck a boat the size of theirs ;
but, thank God! not one did its diabolical
work among us. Almost half of their shot
struck our battery and several shells explo
ded on the top of it. One tremendous bomb
hit the muzzle of the cannon which Lieuten
ant Moffet aud myself were working, and
exploded in the embrasure, not three feet
from us, covering us with the turf and splin
ters of the battery, and so tearing up the
embrasure as to make it large enough for
three guns. Another shell passed within a
foot of Robert Lockhart, as he ran out to
plant the flag a little further to the left than it
had been waving. He did not have time to
get hack behind the battery after the cry
“lookout” was given, and before the ball
came. He fell flat on the ground, and that
saved him. Privates Mayo and Portor had
one ball to pass between their legs while
they were shoveling away sand from in front
of their gun. The trees near the fort were
completely peeled and trimmed by the grape
and shell. A chain came whizzzing just a
foot above the battery, struck a tree ten feet
off, and cut it in two, as smoothly as you
could cut a sprig of asparagus. The shell
and grape and ’22 pounders rained down
among us all the time as thickly as hail,
and all of us are the posessors of some of these
trophies, gathered on the ground of our first
successful battle-field.
Our supply of ammunition was short, and
we ceased tiring for fifteen minutes once, ex
pecting that we would need the five or six
rounds left for other boats despatched to the
assistance of the Montecello. Up to this
time not. one of our shots had taken effect.
Our men had been too eager. Capt. Col
quitt commanded silence, told us we must
aim better, and tire more deliberately. He
then aimed a gun himself, pulled the trigger
and the hollow, rattling sound told where
the ball had gone. Indeed, we could plain
ly see daylight through the hole which the
ball hail made just above the water’s edge.
Two other shots aimed by Capt. Colquitt
made their mark as plain as did this. Al
most ail of our shots now struck the boat or
passed hard b}’. The steam began to rod
from her smoke-stack, her firing became
more languid, her moorings began to loosen,
and she moved sluggishly down Hampton
Hoads. As she fired her third shot at us
she sent up rocket signals, and just as she
began to move off two little steam tugs from
the Fortress came alongside to bear up the
drooping wings of the poor wounded bird.
One of the impudent little thiugs—the one
on the starboard and next to us—tired a
shot at our battery, which was aimed too
low and fell short; we returned it, and she
tired another and began to “bout.”
Just as she gave us a fair broadside pre
sentation a shot from one of our rifled can
non tore away her colors, smoke-stack, and
what else we know not. But she plowed
the waves with all the steam she had after
that, and thus euded the tight. That the
I Monticelio was badly crippled was evident
from the zigzag, languid manner in which
she “rode out of the Roads.” We testified
our sympathy for her condition by mounting
the ramparts and sending up one long, lound
an! grateful shout of victory, which God
approved and the over an hiug heavens echo
ed back. And now is not. “He that is fvr
us mightier than they that are uyuinxt us'/”
If would be invidious to mention the
bravery ol any particular uue of our corps.
Perfect composure and cheerful intrepidity
mantled every brow. Our Captain's orders
were announced with as much cheerful com
posure and grace as if he bad been drilling
us at dress parade. A small detachment
from three Virginia companies were our
companions in the engagement. Our com
mander, however, hud charge of the united
forces.
EXEOUTIVE DEPA RTMENT, \
Milledgeville, May 17, 1801. )
To the Peteple of Georgia ;
By the wicked and unprovoked aggres
sions upon oui rights, our Northern neigh
bors have driven us out of the Union estab
lished by our fathers, and are now waging
an unjust, and unholy war upou us, and at
tempting to overthrow the government of
equality established by us for our own pro
tection. They are collecting a large military
force upon our borders. They threaten to
invade our territory with large armies ; to
sweep over it with lire and sword ; to incite
our slaves to insurrection and murder; to
violate the sanctity of our homes, and to in
flict the most cruel and outrageous wrongs
upon our wives and daughters. They appeal
to the very basest passions of the human
heart for the purpose of exciting their soldiers
and preparing them for the execution of
their diabolical plans of rapine and plunder.
They promise to apportion our lands and di
vide our substance among their base mercen
aries, as a reward fur our extermination and
butchery. In some of their largest cities
“beauty and booty” are made the rallying
cry to induce the lowest rabble to enlist
against us.
Iu aid of the Government of Mr. Lincoln,
now a military despotism disregarding all
Constitutional guarantees and restrictions,
w hile engaged in an unholy crusade against
us, the people of the North are making large
contributions from their private funds to
equip and to support troops in the field to
fight against the South.
The Government of the Confederate States,
which is the Government of our own choice,
and is entitled to the fullest confidence and
most cordial support of every true Southern
heart, hu.s called for troops to meet these
wicked invaders in the field of battle and to
drive them back.
Georgians have responded nobly to the call.
Thousands have already left their homes,
their friends, their wives, their children, and
all else that was dear to them ou earth, and
are now’ in the field submitting to all (lie
privations of camp life and enduring all the
hardships aud fatigues of war for the defence
of our glorious common cause. Thousands
more of our fellow citizens must soon follow.
While our gallant soldiers have our warm
est sympathies and our most fervent prayers,
shall they not also liavj our rnatarial aid,
und shall wc not see to it that all the actual
wants of themselves aud their families are
supplied ?
‘J he Government of the Confederate States
having been but recently organized, and
having to encounter an expensive war during
the first month of its existence, cannot be
expected to supply promptly all tilings neces
sary to the comfort of large armies in the
held.
‘I lie people of Georgia pay less tax in pro
portion to the value of their property than
the people of any other State in either Con
federacy. The aggregate value of our pri
vate property is near eight hundred millions
of dollars. We could contribute ten mil
lions of this to the support of our soldiers as
a freewill offering and feel none the poorer.
Let us not then subject ourselves to heavy
taxation, or our prosterity to heavy debt, but
let us show to the world that we are fully en
listed iu the noble cause of freedom, and that
we have tlie-ability aud the will, by private
subsetiptiou, to cloth and feed our glorious
and gallant troops in the field and their fam
ilies, at home, w hile they are defending our
W'ives our children, cur homes aud our al
tars.
People of Georgia, as ycur Executive, I
appeal not to your legislators to tax you but
to your patriotism aud your well known lib
erality iu behalf of the soldier and the sol
dier’s family. The soldier must have cloth
ing. My appeal is first to the ladies whose
fervent patriotism, burning zeal, and ener
getic action in our glorious struggle, rekin
dles iu our minds the memories of the im
mortal women of the Revolution of 17i0,
and convince us that while their daughters
have improved upon their intelligence and
refinement, arid have more pecuniary abili
ty to act, they have abated nothing of their
patriotism and their devotion to the cause
of freedom. 1 know therefore that my ap
peal to the women of Georgia will meet a
hearty and cordial response.
I request that each lady in Georgia pre
pare at as early a day as she conveniently
can, such contribution of soldier’ clothing us
she may desire to make out of such material
and of such color as she may be able to com
mand—auy kind of Lome made cloth will be
acceptable—and that each one deposit her
contribution with the Clerk of the Superior
Court of the county of her residence, who is
requested to act as agent to receive it, and
to keep a book in which he will enroll the
name of each contributor with an account of
her contribution. The Captains und J ustices
of the Peace of each Military District in the
State are respectfully requested to appoint
meetings in their respective Districts, aud to
bring this question before the people, and to
act as agents for the ladies of their districts
in forwarding their contributions with a cor
rect account of the articles contributed by
each to the Clerk of the Su}>erior Court ot
the county. As the contributions are.
brought in, the Clerk is requested, at con
venient intervals, to box aud ship them at
the expense of the State, to the Quarter
Master General of this State, at Milledge
ville, placing in each box a letter giving the
name of the county from which it comes. 1
cannot doubt that the Railroad and Express
Companies iu this State, with their accus
tomed liberality, will forward all such pack
ages to the Capitol free of charge.
So soon as the donation in each county
has ceased to be made, I request the Clei k
of the Superior Court to transmit the book
eoutainiug; the donors, with the account of
the donation of each, to the Executive Office,
I to be deposited among the permanent records
lof the State. If each lady iu the State
should contribute but a single garment, the
supply would be abundant for all our troops.
While a few may not be prepared to con
tribute, many will doubtless do much more
than this.
To the lad} r making the mast valuable
contribution of clothing before the first da\
ot August next, to be judged by the (Quarter
Muster General, the Treasurer and the Comp
troller General, I will present a beautiful
gulden cup, and will cause her name to be
enrolled on a blank leaf of the book of Min
utes of the Executive Department, with a
statement of the reason's why it is so enrolled
T will also cause the names of each of the
nine ladies makiug the most valuable dona
tions next after the uue above mentioned, to
be enrolled, each, on a separate leaf, in like
manner in the order iu which the honor is
awarded to each by the three officers above
mentioned.
My next appeal is to the gentlemen. I
propose that they raise by contribution one
million of dollars immediately, to be used by
the State iu equipping and providing for the
wants for the Georgia troops.
1 request the Justicesof the inferior Court
ot each county,or auy two or more of them to
act as agents tor this purpose, and to appoint
such persons in the different Militia Districts
as they may think proper to assist them. I
suggest that books of subscription to be
opened in each county on the first Tuesday
in June next, or so soon thereafter as may
be convenient, auti that public meetings be
held in each county for the purpose of dis
cussing the question and soliciting subscrip
tions.
1 have requested our able aud faith.ul
Comptroller General to make out from the tax
books and publish a statement of the amount
which would be the just proportion of each
county, should each determine to contribute
its part of the one million dollars proposed to
be raised. The Treasurer of this State, on
being informed by the Justicesof the In
terior Court of the auiouut. of the donation
of the county, will direct the manner of its
transmission to the treasury, aud will receipt
tor the amount. The Justices in each coun
ty are respectfully requested so soon a? the
books ot contribution are closed, to transmit,
them to the executive Office that they may
be preserved among the permanent records
of the State.
As the Executive of the State, I will pre
sent a beautiful Hag of the Confederate
States to the country making the largest do
nation in proportion to the value of its taxa
ble property.
To the gentleman making the largest do
nation before the tirst day of August next, 1
will present a goldeu medal with appropriate
inscriptions, and will enroll bis name with a
statement of the cause of its enrollment up
on a blank leaf in the Book of Executive
Minutes. 1 will also enroll in like manner
the names of the nine gentlemen making the
next largest donations in the order in which
they are entitled by the amount of their con
tributions.
Another suggestion, and I have done —-
Our enemies are blockading our ports and
cutting off our supplies from abroad. A kind
Providence has blessed us with the means of
making within our own limits almost every
thing necessary to our support and comfort,
and with a monopoly of the great staple which
the world cannot do without. It is said our
enemies exempt cotton from bloekadge.—
\\ by t Because they cannot do without it.
I appeal to our planters, therefore, to refuse
to ship a hag while the blockade lasts. This
will soon remove the blockade from our ports,
and the increase of price will amply reward
you for the loss you may sustain while you
keep your cotton on hand. I trust our peo
ple will hold public meetings and petition
the Government at Montgomery to lay an
absolute embargo upon cotton, permitting
not one bag to pass out of the Confederate
States while the blockade is maintained. I
appeal to our capitalists to go to work vigor
ously and prepare to manufacture such arti
cles as we most need. I also appeal to our
planters to redouble their energies for the
production of all the supplies of provisions
necessary to support our people at home and
our arms in the tield. The prospect is most
flattering for an abuntant wheat harvest.—
Let each planter so soon as his wheat is cut,
break and plant a few acres of his best wLeat
land in an early kind of corn. This would
add hundreds of thousands of bushels to the
crop. Let each also plant a large crop of peas
and turnips, and look diligently to the cul
ture of everything that would sustain the life
of man or beast, that we may be entirely in
dependent of all supplies from abroad.— j
Finally I appeal to all—ladies and gentle
men—to practice strict economy : dispense
with every unnecessary luxury and devote all
to our country till the battle is won aud our
independence acknowledged by all the civil
ized nations of earth.
We hope for an early peace; but, if we
are disappointed, God has given us the phys
ical strength, and the material resources, audl
the means of support, which will, with pro
per energy, enable us to live and defend our
selves upon our soil for the next twenty
years to come. I’raying lli3 divine protec
tion, let us humble ourselves in Ilia presence,
implore His aid in our struggle, and with a
firm reliance in the justice of our cause, let
us resolve to achieve our iudependenee or
suffer extermination in the patriotic effort.
I am, very respectfully, your fellow citizen,
JOSEPH E. BROWN.
Sa vk the Garden Seed. —lt seems hardly
necessary to remind our people of the im
portance of saving all the garden seed which
they may be able to save. We are not yet
used to relying ou small matters, and many
may neglect to attend to so novel a duty as
saving garden seed. But we can get ho moi e
garden seed from the North unless we hus
band our own, will fall short, of the supply
next spring. Let then, everybody save en
ough and to spare of this year’s crop, of all
kinds of seeds, and take good care of them
through the winter. Those who follow our
advice in this particular, will have cause to
thank ourselves,and congratulate themselves,
when the next seed sowing time comes round.

grow best and very abundantly on the poor

Our fruit crop is abundant, and now bids

Characteristic Anecdote of “Wilson's
Zouaves. —A correspondent tells this rath
er adamantine story :
’J he other day a Methodist clergyman
went to exhort them. Hilly Wilson drew
his men up and called “ attention !” The
parson then gave them a very edifying and
appropriate discourse, to which, in obedience
to the Colonel’s commands, they listened at
tentively. \\ ben the parson had finished,
Billy gave the “boys” a short talk, .some
what in this wise : “ Boys, I want you to
remember what the minister has told you.—
It is all for your good ; take his advice, and
follow,’ it ; for there is no knowing but what
in less than six months every d—d one of
you will be in h—ll !” Here a voice from
the ranks called out. “ Three cheers for
h—ll !” and they were given with a will.—
The pastor, astonished aud angry, a-ked
what it meant. “Oh,” says Billy, “ tho
boys don’t know much about Scripture.
They think h—ll is somewhere between
Montgomery and New Orleans, and they are
d—d anxious to get down in that, neighbor
hood!”
Stuthei u Alert hunts. —\\ e regret to see
the publication of articles reflecting upon the
geueral integrity of Southern merchants.—
That there are exceptions, w lie re advantage
is taken of the present, unhappy state of the
country, we do not question; but we are
convinced that the ratio is exceeding small in
comparison with those who consider them
selves as justly and morally bound to pay
their debts, whatever legislative act may be
passed to annul them. We are satisfied of
this by personal information derived from
our own traders; and as a class, we feel sure
the merchants of the Smith are gentlemen
possessing every trait of character which we
deem honorable among ourselves. The pub
lication of unjust strictures upon them, there
fore can only be productive of evil, engen
dering personal animosity, and increasing
the bitterness of feeling between the two sec
tions. We trust our journals, in vigorously
upholding the integrity of the Government
—and’ which integrity will lie maintained
by the entire North at any cost—will not
detract from the private worth of our Southern
brethren—because, in defence of what they
deem tp be a just cause, they are arrayed in
arms agaiust us.— Boston Post.
JNT’We clip the following from the local
columns of the Richmond Dispatch of Fri
day. The seem to have made a
very strong impression on our Richmond
friends :
The Oglethorpe Rifle Battalion, from Sa
vannah. Georgia, arrived via Petersburg Rail
road last night. They are fully armed and
cquiped. Wo should judge there were about
500 of them in line.
The Petersburg Express thus notices the
passage of the corps through that city :
The “Oglethorpe Light Infantry,” Capt.
F. S. Bartow, from Savannah, Georgia, and
numbering 10*2 men, arrived on the south
ern train yesterday afternoon, and passed on
to Richmond. This is one of the finest com
panies the Empire State of the South can
boast of, and truly, the members are all in
perfect trim, and look as if they can well sus
tain the honorable renown of their gallant
State. An amusing addition to the company
was a monkey in full uniform, who, we hear,
willingly volunteered in the ranks to act as
scout on all proper occasions, and especially
for the purpose of catching his near kins
man, the baboon in Washington, known to
the public as Old Abe.
The State Road. — We are authorized
to say that the following amounts of money
have been paid into the State Treasury, from
the earnings of this great work, for the last
three months, to-wit : In the month of
31 areli, $40,000; in April, $50,000, and in
May $50,000, making the sum of $140,000,
for the three months. Leaving on band a
good surplus to meet any contingency that
may arise. This is exclusive of the amount
for the transportation of the Confederate
troops. The management and practical work
ing of this Road reflects great credit upon

“ He said, although not fn the habit of making

had been so tiauering that he must say something
on this occasion. The situation he had been placed.
} n | IP „ould have willingly shrunk from, on ac
count of its responsibilities, but Providence had
placed him in the situation, and he had tried to do
l.is duty. Since the lull of Fort Sumter he had
received many very bitter letters from the South,
on account of his refusal to join his destiny with
theirs. lie had never said anything to indicate
that he would unite his destinies with the South.
At the outset of the slavery troubles he did sym
pathize with his Southern friends, thinking that
tin re was too much Northern interference with
subject, and that if slavery was an evil it attached
to the South alone. At thejpresent crisis, neither
slavery nor party politics have anything to o wit
the subject. The question is government or no
government, and he felt satisfied that w en
present crisis is passed we shall be again a ppy
