announces tho formation of another
company soon to lie on the heels of
the Miller Volunteers. It hears the
h:
meat, Inamoof our fellow-citizen Col. Eze-
mlter, eyes, ducks, chickens, gees ij; t i Williams. This distinction,
lor turkeys, will
be taken for sub
scription to I ho Independent South,
or for any debts duo this office; and
the highest market prices will b.
paid for ihetn. '
tendered this gentleman, is hailed
*ho LejlslaiturD.
The Honorable General Assem
bly, commonly known as the Geor
gia Legislature, a body nf wise Pa
tricians, convoked by the voice of the
people, at their Capitol, (Milledge-
villo) to devise in their wisdom, nnd
enact such policies, ns should best
subserve their country’s weal in the
oppression of her woes. Tile inter
rogation is rife in tl)c land. “What
have they brought forth in their
long travail?” and the annunciation
by our citizens as one most deserv
edly appropriate, not only as giving
expressing to accredit d merit, hut
as exhibiting that botli our heart and
treasure, is enlisted in our cause.
This gentleman with many others
who occupy nn imhicntinl position
in cur social oi . * is evinced a
most lively interest, in our perilous
contest, and his munificent generos
ity with our patriotic townsmen,
was foremost in erecting tho first
company (the II. S. S.) which left
our county, nnd since, their liberal
ity has been registered to every effort
which has been instituted in our
community for the maintenance nnd
of their calendar, is the onlv response, , . ,
’ ‘ . J advancement ol our righteous strug-
whichis offered just now. We in- J - .
terpret, it does not. at least, commit
a Bill of Attainder to lay upon
tho patriotism of Southern blood,
nor does it ordain any now military
order to be conferred upon the
“masterly inactivity” of our patient
and enduring armies. But it evinc
es miieh cautiousness nnd careful
consideration, in flic husbanding of
our scanty monoylnry resources. It
suggests an apprehension that the
ermine of our Judiciary and Execu
tive officials may he “led into temp
tation” by that “root of all evil,”
and have therefore impoverished
their stipendaries, that the virus
may bo starved out, and in the uni
versal purgation, they have subjected
their own §5 per diem to .the same
(ittrfllV(IS) niltl tv/ tliv.tr
lating they have discovered, that
there is no decidua of the baneful
infection. This is at least a lucid
if not a magnanimous solution of the
boasted fundamental of our system
of equality, “that a community of
benefits should impose a community
of privations.” Besides they have
incorporated arnunicipality of a pop
ulation of 38, niutl talked long nnd
furious on the woman’s Bill. Both
these labors, no doubt, are designed
by a reversionary process to aggran
dize their afflicted country, thus:
the longer the session, the longer
tho draft of the per diem, upon a
lean treasury, and tho surer tho dis
tress of our battling yeomanry, from
exhausted resources, but then tho
more certain tho repulse of our mer
cenary foe, for he has vowed tha’t
“if there is no sugar, there will be
no soug.” What a comprehensive
policy this? What a wonderotts
spectacle of self-denial and personal
sacrifice to our country’s strength?
While the land is groaning under
the persecutions of a heartless de
spoiler, our Honorable General As
sembly, is entrenching its exchecquer
with proscriptions on its stipends
and fortifying its power with tho
contents of its coffers, thus stifling
tho venal lust of tho invader with
tho empty vaults of its treasury.
Then! who will say, that this is
not a glorious Government of ours?
gie for independent equality. This
company will number the fourth,
which has been enrolled in our ar
mies bearing upon their banners tho
testimonial of such individual pat
riotism. The Poythress, the Batt
Jones, the B. 13. Mii|er, and tho
Williams Volunteers.
Buell names will ho embalmed
in tho manuals of our devotion,
and their memory will perish
only, when our children shall
forget their country, their lib
erties and their God. To us the
idea is preposterous, that we can be
subjugated, panopiyed in tho glory
of such strength. Our treasure and
our honored social influence at home.
The hopes of our pride and the
wealth of our hearts in the.front of
tne roe. 'luremonirv: o: uor uomo
sires and the chaplets of their proud
deeds yet fragrant on the altars of
our country’s glory, and the incen
tive of a Heaven-decreed cause, all
conspire to nerve every Southern
heart a shield, and every arm his
country’s fortress.
v an the vandal herd of menial
mercenaries, begotten in tho adult
erous embrace of puritanical bigotry
with modcAi Yaiikeeism, educated
in the creed of a vile profligacy,
reared to the apprenticeship of pri
sons, festering in the crimes' of his
youth and stenchyig with the incar
cerations of bis manhood, a wretch
whom no philosophy can humanize,
no charity beguile, and no religion
restrain; and even leagued with the
ITollov linen—
Which U-ir.i;n istinkei fr.im her per;
It» full in ili.,'niiy la r.mUlo Iww,”
can such a Heavon-anathmetized
rabbel subjugate a people whoso
Norman gallantry has been the ad
miration of centuries whoso mag
nanimity and chivalry has been the
watchword of patriotism? They
may! “as soon as B imam’s woods
shall move to Dunsinanc,” or a
Ruler shall arise in Linooludom
whose creed shall be aught but here
sies, whoso'practices aught but base
Villanies.

Capt. Schley and Lieut. L. R.
Collins, of^tlio Miller Volunteors,
Ho mendicant, supplicating for min- { have been a few days with their
ist erial robes. .No cringing dema-1 fiends at home, gathering up re-
gogue, crouching to tho sinecure of
of State. No truckling partizan,
bartering conscience for a place, and
the love of country for the participa
tion in her plunder. With such a
bright phase in our political firmu-
nent, we may portend in tho lan
guage of an eloquent barrister, that
the blight and ruin of our wintery
day bus passed to tho fond anticipa
tion, when our prostrate land shall
stand erect among the nations, fenr-
i and unfettered; her brow bloom-
j "IB with tile wreath of science, and
he) path stiewen wni, tlm offerings
ofi’.rt; tho breath of Heaven blessing
her flag, the extremities of earth ac-
kniiv, Ir'ihdny' he; h"i .icM:-
cruits to swell their roll. Their
company is stationed at Camp Sa-
tilla near Brunswick. No band of
our brothers has left our county on-
compassed with more hlfessings of
warmer hearts, than this one, and a
prophetic aura pervades, our com
munity, that when the ruthless in
vader shall dare their avenging steel,
they will mark his cschutchcon with
the infamy of his defeat, and in
scribe upon our history a glorious
record, ofold Burke’s chivalry.
