HEADQUARTERS POST, 1
Columbus, Ga., April 2d, 1864.)
The attention of all persons between the ages of
sevontoen and eighteen years, and between the ages
of forty-five and fifty years, is called to the follow
ing paragraph of General Orders No. 33, from the
A. and Inspect. Gen’ls office, Richmond, Va.:
111. Any person liable to enrollment under this
act may join any company for local defence which
has been formed under General Orders No. 86, issued
22d June, 1863, for the war, or any other company
for local defence which has been accepted into the
service, and which, by the terms of its enlistment,
is liable to serve anywhere within the State; or
persons of this class may form new companies for
local defence and special service, under General
Orders No. 86, (1863) for the war, and select their
own officers.
The undersigned will give persons wishing toiorm
companies for local defence under this order all as
sistance in his power, and would earnestly request
that such companies be organized, and old compa
nies, organized under General Orders No. 86,1863,
be filled up to the maximum number. The benefit
that would accrue to regularly organized companies
or battalions, should the reserve corps ever be called
into active service, is too obvious to be urged.

To The Patriotic Citizens ot Columbus and

The great benefits which have attended the labors
of Relief Committees on the battlefield, in protect
ing and administering to the care and comfort of
the sick and wonded, have been forcibly illustrated
in some of the great battles of the present war. To
secure to our gallant soldiers the aid derived from
such associations the citizens of Columbus and vi
cinity are earnestly requested to unite in forming
one or more. Relief Committee, who will hold thr m
selves in readiness to accompany the Reserve Med
ical Corps of this Post to “tho front’ - whenever the
occasion may demand.
Transportation for themselves and all articles for
the comfort of the sick and wounded will be fur
nished.
The articles most necessary to be provided are
old linen lint, cotton batting, bandages, light wooden
splints, tea, coffee, (ground) wine, brandy or whis
key, and such delicacies as may be usesul.
Any Committee which may be organized can re
port itself to this office, so that the members may
receive information when their services will be re
quired.
Individuals desiring to form associations can re
port to this office, where a register of their names
will bo kept until a suffieientinumber to organize a

TFrom the Louisville Journal]
Death of an Infamddb Rram. w*.
lished ft few days ago an account of the defeat
of Champ Ferguson’s command, and the exe
cution of summary punishment on the cap
tured guerrillas by Col. Stokes’ Tennessee
cavalry. AVe have since learned that the af
fair was more brilliant than then reported.—
After the defeat of Ferguson’s command, the
guerrillas scattered, and were eagerly hunted
down by Colonel Stokes’ men. AVhenever
one was takeu, ho was shot without ceremony.
On the capture of one of the gang the next
day after the fight, he was told to prepare for
death, when he began to plead piteously for
his life. He informed the cavalry that if they
would not kill him he would conduct them to
a house where Ferguson was concealed.
They agreed to the proposition, and soon a
squad of Colonel Stokes’ men had surrounded
the house in which the guerrilla chief was se
creted. A party entered and found Ferguson
lying on a bed in one of the rooms, suffering
from the wound received the daj' before.—
They immediately surrounded the bed and
riddled his body with pistol balls. The act
may seem inhuman, but we must recollect
that Ferguson first instituted this mode of war
fare by deliberately murdering all Union pris
oners who fell into bis hands. The fiendish
idea of wholesale slaughter conceived and ex
ecuted by him has recoiled upon him with
three-fold vengeance, There is not a Ten
nesseean in Col. Stokes’ regiment who has not
suffered from the atrocities which he commit
ted, and as the curse came home to roost no
rebel marauder can complain,
An Impassable Gulf.—The New York
News gives the War Democracy no comfort.
It declares them out of the party now and
forever. Let no War Democrat cherish the
illusion that he is a Democrat in anything
but the name. He is simply an Abolitionist,
and with an Abolitionists the Peace Democrat
has no fellowship, as witness the News :
The War Democracy of its own accord has
foresworn our company. -It ha 9 passed within
the unhallowed citcle of Abolitionism, and
there assuredly the Peace Democracy will not
follow. It is now impossible for peace men,
without the sacrifice of their own consistency
and principle, to resume the companionship
thus cancelled. Henceforward the Peaee man
and the War Democrat are twain. There is no
tie between them, there is no identity of pur
pose between them, there is no conformity of
action. The Peace man cannot stand shoul
der to shoulder with an abolitionist in politi
cal battle. Distrust, antipathy and antago
nism are now the political condition that
exists between them.
The steamer Alliance, which left Nassau on
Thursday last, in attempting to run intodhis
port, on Mdnday night, through Calaboga
Sound, grounded about 10} o'clock, and, as
the tide was running out at the time, all ef
forts to get her off, proved of no avail. Mr.
John Makin, the Pilot, and a boat's crew left
for the city about one o’clock this morning,
and arrived safely. There being but one
small boat, the rest of the crew remained on
board the steamer, which was no doubt taken
by the enemy, as she was in full view of Fort
Pulaski.
We learn that her cargo consisted of shoes,
clothing and medicine. She had no passen
gers on board.
The Alliance was a small steamer drawing
but faur feet nine inches, and formerly used
as a British transport. The place where she
grounded is supposed to be Mongin’s Shoal,
immediately north Cockspur, in the direction
of Dmifuskie, and under the guns of the Fort.

Artificial Limbs—How to Hake
Them.
From the April number of the Confed
erate States Medical and Surgical “Jour
nal” we copy the following:
The establishment of an association to
provide, gratuitously, artificial limbs to all
officers, soldiers or sailors, who have been
mainied in the service of the Confederate
States, has been already noticed in these
columns. The fact of its successful oper
ation should not be without its effect on
operative surgery in the future.
Up to this stage in the war, the priuci
pal aud paramount consideration with each
conscientious surgeon, who amputated a
limb was that great deformity, or a speedy
and miserable death, could only be pre
vented by this mutilation. The possibility
of the early adjustment of an artificial
substitute for the limb by a skillful me
chanician was not then realized as it will
be in future, and will now compel the
surgeon to look beyond the operation and
recovery from the wound he makes. AF
ready, nearly ten thousand maimed men in
the Confederate States carry with them
stumps which will be examined soon by
those specialists, who are experts in this
limited field of anatomy and mechanical
philosophy. The stumps will he all sure
but silent witnesses of skill and watchful
ness, or inexperience and neglect.
These considerations should cause more
deliberate attention to be paid to the place
of operation, whether of election or neces
sity, the various methods of amputation,
the progressive steps of each, and the
natural or possible changes in the several
structures, as bearing on the desired re
sult, viz: a successful stump, or one that
will enable the patient to wear an artifi
cial limb with comfort or convenience.—
Its being for locomotion and the bear
ing of pressure, a good stump should, as
far as possible, be long euough to secure
an abundant leverage, be well covered,
perfectly even, and of the slippe of a trun
cated cone, to equally diffuse the pressure
and support over the entire circumference.
The socket of the artificial limb, being
well padded, is made to lit this stump in
every portion of its periphery, the extrem
ity being free in the interior cavity. The
place of election are authoritatively poin
ted out in operative surgeries, but I have
seen no clearer or more comprehensive
instructions on this or kindred subjects
than those published by Palmer, of Phil-,
adelphia, in “instructions to operators for
formation of suitable stumps in amputa
tion of the leg and thigh.” The surgeon
unfortunately, rarely has this power of
election, aud iu 0140 k oircumstanocs, must
leave as much substance as he can.
Artificial limbs resembles those of the
msecta in that the skeleton is without.—
There structure is generally of wood, cov
ered with leather, but sometimes of heavy
wire-cloth. Strong and well secured
joints at points corresponding with those
in the lost limb, move with ease and ex
actness through the medium of cords, le
vers and springs of metal or
the whole being in symmetry and function
a faithful representation of the natural leg
with the exception that the artificial leg,
being but the work of man, is a more
simple apparatus. The complex parts
and functions of the natural leg could not
be so constructed and co ordinated.
Palmer; of Philadelphia, obtained the
prize medal at the World,s Fair, in Lon
don, in'lßso for the best artificial leg,
The Academy of Medicine, ot New York
City, in 1800, after a‘careful examination
of specimens of all well known varieties,
pronounced one made and patented by
Dr Bly, of .Rochester, as quite as simple
as any r and superior to all in possessing
valuable improvements in the lateral mo.
tion given to the ankle joint. Among
those there inspected were Selplio's,
Wilcox’s 4 Ord’s and Jewett’s legs. The
artificial leg found on the body or Col.
Ulric Dahlgren, U. S. A., was of Jewett’s
patent, January 9th, 1857, and May 7th,
1860.' Its Substance is wood, painted
flesh color, and heavily enamelled to re
semble porcelain; the metal joints were
silver-plated and very strong. Thus its
symmetry and finish gave it an appear
ance of elegance; but its mechanism and
action are inferior to that of legs manu
factured under some other patents.
The legs can be made very easily by
any good locksmith, gunsmith, instru
ment-maker, or ingenious mechanic, and
good specimens are now being made at
various points in the Confederate States
by persons recently inexperienced. Oth
ers, as Hanger, of Staunton, and Wells of
Charlottsville, claim to have made valua
ble improvements on any hitherto known
patent. They certainly make legs com.
bining lightness, strength and symmetry,
that are worn with comfort and satisfac
tion by officers and men in the field, and
in every station of life, civil and military. !
But the manufacturers now in operation
are not able to fill one-tenth of the de
mand that will be made on the Associa
tion.
To meet them, a manufactory on a
large scale will be established, and the
directors of the Association refered to have
also invited manufacturers, throughout
the Confederacy, to send in to them, at
Richmond, Virginia, as soon as practica
ble, specimens of their work, with pro
posals, stating the number they can fur
nish, at the time and place of their deliv
ery, with the cost of the same.
The United States Patent Re
ports, in every large library in the Con
orate States, contain diagrams of all pat
ents of artificial legs and their descriptions
and an experienced draughtsman in Rieh
monb (Mr. H. M. Baker) will furnish
copies all of them, at a very moderate
cost, to any one proposing to commence
their manufacture.

by a warm admirer of his, who was an

having seen him frequently, but he had
never had an opportunity of shaking
hands with him. This seemed to Pat to
be a good opportunity, as both were alone.
So halting in front of Mr. 8., he held out
his hand and said, “llow d’ye do. Mister
Alex. Staven, sure its moselle that wants
to spake to ye, for I lovejo bether than

his close, warm embrace and hugged him
to his heart’s content.— Confederacy.

Tlie Fruit of Folly.
Governor Brown’s message and “tho Geor
gia Resolutions” have got to New York, and
are published as a delicious morsel by the
Abolition journals ot that city. They are con
sidered as infallible evidence of the failing
purpose of the Southern people, aud a pre
cusor of our speedy submission to the Yankee
yoke. The enemy in the midst of their bank
ruptcy. national and individual, their defeats
in the field and general gloom all around
them, have taken iresh heart under those En
couraging documents, and are rallying all
their remaining strength to give the last fatal
blow to our liberties as a people. How long
are Georgians to tolerate such aid and com
fort to the enemy in the very midst of a strug
gle for all that is to them as freemen?
How long will men be kept in public life who
would thus sally the-reputation of their State,
encourage the foe iu time of war, and peril
the most sacred cause in which the blood of
man has ever been shed? Have we not alrea
dy suffered enough by this protracted war,
that, our own people should be allowed to
build up the hopes of our destroyers ? God
forbid that any mau, or any thing, should be
allowed to stand between this brave people
and the independence for which'they are striv
ing!
But we tell our infamous foe that they are
deceived. These are false lights, and will
isuiiAjr lend to They may re
sult in adding livers of blood to the mighty
streams that have already flowed from every
battle field, but that blood will be freely shed
rather than compromise one iota with their
- foul dominion. These few Georgia politicians
who have thu3 in an evil and reckless hour
placed their State in a false position, do not
represent the sentiments of her people. The
entire army, with three fourths of the citizens
at home, spit upon and repudiate the whole
movement. Let the enemy but trust to it as
an evidence of failing purpose to conquer or
perish in this war—they will soon find out
their mistake. The people of Georgia, and of
the whole Soutlr, stand shoulder to shoulder
in the great work of deliverance and lib -rty,
and no number of mar-plots and miser :ef
mabers will succeed in weakening the bonds
of their union or unnerving their manly arms.

Taltmfloit of Taxable Propevly.
The Milledgeville Confederate Union gives
the following which is interesting to tax pay
ers generally, as tac opinion of taj* Governor
and Comptroller General:
The Legislature in Deo.tubs < -

that they are to value tbt ir pi p. ay ,a a
it would have brought in Confederate Notes
on the Ist of April, after deducting 33} per
cent. We learn that the Governor end Comp
troller General have decided that ail property
must be returned at its Value in Confederate
; Treasury Notes on the Ist of April without
i the deduction of the 33} per cent. The Gov
i ernor and Comptroller decide' this to be not
1 onJy the State law, but they contend that the
old issue was the only Confederate currency
on the Ist of April, or the Act of Congress
did not take said currency 33} per cent, until
after the Ist of April
We don't know that it makes much differ
ence whether this opinion of the Governor
and Comptroller General be acquiesced in. or
repudiated, but it strikes us as being a rather
curious decision whifth requires property to
be mined in one kind of currency and the
tax to be paid in another.
Pooh Santa Anna.— This celebrated per
son has tor several years been living at St.
Thomas, in a quiet manner, enjoying to tho
full hia fondness for cockfighting. Thinking,
| however, that a chance for his peculiar talents
' wa3 made by the invasion of Mexico and the
occupation of the French, Santa Anna went
there, but was summarily dismissed by Gen.
Bozaine, who sent him out of the country.
The French seem destined to extinguish Santa
Anna. At the bombardment bv them of Vrr.i
Cruz, under the reign of Louis Phillippe,
Santa Anna lost his leg; now, under Louis
Napoleon, he loses his head —politically

thus pay their respects to the Governor in their

It is with sincere regret that we have observed, of
late apparent disposition, on the Executive of Geor
gia to array the State against the general Govern
ment. Having full confidence in the wisdom and
integrity of the Confederate authorities, and regar
ding the late action of Congress as fully ju tilled by
the necessities of the country, we feel a-surod that
the present is no time for division and discord.

duty to sustain him in it, heart and soul. Aroun’
