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 following confession of murder, may be useful to those who may capture any of Stokes’ men.] * 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. £Su?\ Rep. \blh.

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. A Vice President Hugged.—Du ring Mr. Stephens’ kite visit to Milledge villo, lie was met on the street one day by a warm admirer of his, who was an Irishman. Pat knew Mr. S. sight 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 any other man living; and, faith, Mr. Stavcus, its meself that is afther hugging ye!” Whereupon he clasped Mr. Siu his close, warm embrace and hugged him to his heart’s content.— Confederacy. ♦ • - - Maxamillian and Mr. Slidell.— It-is stated upon authority of a Yankee Paris correspondent that Maxauiillian had consented to an interview with Min ister Slidell but Napoieou objected. From Florida. — Reports of another battle iu Florida have been rumored on the sifeeta for some days pust, bu" we feel very safe iu stating that uothmg ut the sort has over oceured. \\ e nuve as late, and perhaps as authentic, uimdiciai inibroutioii as has been received troui that quarter, and it Jett everything quiet. How Joug matters Will remain .0 that condition is another question. We have accouuts of the arrival of a considerable number of reinforcements at Jacksonville, but we are inclined to the opinion that the Yankees will not risk another general engagement. They are doubtless inten ded lor raids iuto certain unprotected (as they supposed) districts of the State, and will be confined to such operations until they are severely punished—and they will be.— Savannah Republican. The engineers on the various railroads cen treing in Chicago have been on a»strike. In the course of it, the trains on several roads ceased to run for a short while, but so far it has been only partially successful and promises to be temporary in its influence. Every indi cation shows that the mob spirit in the North is on the increase, amt we may tie prepared, during the next six months, to hear not only ot the broils oi associations, but political dis turbances that will rack the whole North. 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. [Suonunaii Hap ublican. 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 < - Act requiring that all t. x p vus a i< m their property for taxation tills year a! a -at it would have brought in Confederate Tr< . u ry Notes oti the Ist of April, instan; in sequence, however, ot ibe p -sag i , di gress of the Currency .ict u ;uu* - hi ey 33} per cent, a fie . i & u • , i many lax payers are unde; ; ■. . 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 m Noticed by a Grand Jritr. —At the late Su perior Court of Putnam county, the Grand Jurors thus pay their respects to the Governor in their general presentments: 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. Tue Last Chance op* the War. — Now tha Grant is in the place of power, it is the country’, duty to sustain him in it, heart and soul. Aroun’ this great leader the eountry must rally, with th<l last man and the last dollar, to end the wur at once : for if We do not end it now we never can. N. Y. Herald.
