HEADQUARTERS POST, \
Columbus, Ga., April 2d, 1864. j
The attention of all persons between the ages of
seventeen and eighteen years, and between the ages
of forty-live 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 compan7 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 lias 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) foe the war, and select their
own officers.
The undersigned will give persons wishing tolorm
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 PfftJ'iotie Citizens of Columbus and
Vicinity.
Tho great benefits which have attended the labors
of Relief Committees on the battlefield, in protect
ing and administering to tho cai;p and comfort of

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 Conunittes, who will hold the m
selves in readiness to accompany the Reserve Med
ical Corps of this Post to ‘‘the 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 necegsary to be provided are
old linen lint, cotton batting, bandages, lightwooden
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 be kept until a suffieientjnumber to organize a

CAPTURE OF FORT PILLOW!
Eater from Texas and Mexico.
Mobile, loth,—Western advices announce
Chalmers' capture of Fort Pillow, with two
regiments of 800 to 1200 negroes, 8 guns, and
the destruction of two transports.
Houston, Texas, April 4th, via Summit
April 14th.—The present state of affairs in
Mexico may be briefly summed up as follows :
Juarez, after his quarrel with Vida uni, re
tired to Colemella and laid claims to [Pedran’s
negroes], the present, port of trade between
Mexico and'Texas. Yidaurri was at last ac
counts organizing an army to contest it with
him. They have each about 3000 men. The
French have demanded the surrender of the
State of N.ewiesar, of which Yidaurri is Gov
ernor. He replied that hq would leave it to
the people. A vote has been taken at which
but few ballots were cast, but as far as heard
from they favor the Empire. On the decision
being announced the French will march to
take possession—peaceably if they can, forci
bly if they resist. ■_
Hamilton, the Lincoln Military Governor,
has established his seat of government at
Brownsville, appointed his officers, &c. Judge
J. B. McFarland is made Judge of the Federal
Court at Brownsville and Corpus Christie, and
the work of confiscation has commenced.
The bulk ot the Yankee force has been
withdrawn from the coast of Louisiana, leav
ing about 4,000 or 5,000 men for garrison and
offensive operations. They profess an inten
tion of marching on San Antonio and Houston.
A Yankee force of 300 attacked Saredo on
the 10th and were signally repulsed by Col.
Benairdo, with a iorceof less than 100.
The Yankees evacuated linlianola on the 13th.
They are still in force at Fort Esperaza.
Messrs. Publes, Baiduro and Seuoneo, who have
been for sometime under military arrest for trea
sonable designs, appealed for a discharge to the
Supreme Court,]_on a writ ofjlabeas Corpus; it
was not contested and they were discharged, only
to be re-arrested under tlio new law suspending
that writ.
The cold weather has made *he crops in Texas
somewhat Backward, »u.i rendered the prospect
less flattering than last year.
The enemy is now advancing on the Northern
and Eastern borders of the State. They took
Alexandria, La., on the 16th.
It is said that a part of Sherman’s and all of
Bank’s army, are operating in Louisiana while
Steele is advancing from Little Roek.
The new currency and tax laws are causing
quite a financial sensation. Gold is now twenty
five for one in this city. It is said to bo twenty
for one in San Antonia. *
The spirit of the people is good, and all are de
termined to resist the enemy in his advance against
the State and fight the War through to the end.
Butler’s Proposition. —Gen. Butler pro
poses to call for 100,000 men to enlist solely
for" the purpose of taking Richmond, and
whose term of service shall expire when that
result 3hall be act-oinplisbed. We think, says
the New York Daily News, Butler will find
the 100,000 rnen Ijard to get for Hint precise
purpose, but he cfin easily find .that number,
or even 300,000, who are perfectly willing that
somebody else should undertake the opera
tion. There are 5,000 clergymen who have
not the slightest objection to furnishing men
out of their congregations for that purpose;
there are 10,000 government contractors who
are perfectly willing that any other 10,000
men should enlist to take Richmond ; and
there are not less than 500,000 abolition edit
ors and office-holders, who are patriotically
anxious to take Richmond, provided somebody
else will perform the operation. Butler can
get any quantity bf this class of men to take
Richmond in this; manner within the next ten
days.
The Collapse oe Yankee Finances
—The End 65 the War. —All editori
al in the New York Times, of. the 2nd,
speaking of the extravagance that pre
vails in the United States, says: •
This ostentation is kept up mostly hy
foreign fabrics, which only gold cau buy.
The specie basis, which alone can sustain
currency and credit, is being more and
more largely drawn away; and without
currency and credit, no war can be effec
tually prosecuted. The disproportion
between gold and paper cannot govern in
creasing for a great period without pro
ducing a financial collapse. And should
that collapse come, the war, we may be
sure, will straightway end. Our Gov
ernment can practice no such repudiating
shifts as the rebel Government is now es
saying. There is too much moral prin
ciple yet left in the Northern people to
tolerate any national turpitude of that sort.
When it conies to the point that this war
demands repudiation, the war will he
abandoned, and all the sacrifices our sol
diers have made in it will go for naught.

A Baby in a Basket—• A Small
Fat astro pile.
The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian has the
following good story among its poliee re
ports:
As Mrs. Esther Stransbury, residing in
a court i u fining from Race, below Sixth
street, was about to bring a bucket of wa
ter from the hydrant last night, &bo found
a basket suspended from the knob of the
front door. Putting her hand into the
basket, she felt something alive and kick
ing, so wrapped up in rags that no further
discovery could be made without unwrap
ping (jie object. A piece ol paper folded
like a letter lay by the side of the anima
ted bundle. Mrs Stransbury immediately
returned into the house, and by the light
of the lamp examined the billet. It was
directed to her husband. She tremulous
ly broke the seal and read as follows:
To Joe Stansbury —Sir: I send you
the baby which you will please take good
care of and bring up right, so that it may
turn out to be a better man than its daddy.
Oh, Joseph ! what a sly old rat you are !
Who would think that such a sober old
spindlcslianks could be such a tearing
down sinner: The child is yours —you
may swear to that. Look at it—its Joe
Stansbury all over. You deceived me
shamefully, Joe—letting on to be a wid
ower ! But do a father’s duty by the young
one, and I 11 forgive you.
Your heart-broken
* .Nancy.
P. S—. Don’t let that sharp-nosed wife
of yours see this letter. Gammon her
with some kind of story about the baby.
Mr. Stansbury was in the basement of
the kitchen quietly eating his supper, and
little imagining what a storm was brewing
over his head. The door of the kitchen
was violently thrown open and his wife’s
voice yelled out :
“Stansbury, come up here, you villian
—here’s a mess for you.”
The astonished Stansbury hastily obey
ed the summons.
“Don’t you want to see Nancy, the
heart-broken Nancy?’-! cried Airs. Stans
bury, when her guilty husband hobbled
into the room.
“Nancy ! what Nancy’s that?” said the
sly old rouge, in well feigned astonish
ment.
“Why Nancy, the mother of this baby
that’s hung up at the door, Mr. Stansbury!
O, you look mighty innocent; just read
that letter, and look into the basket! Don’t
be afraid, it won’t bite you, its got no
teeth; poor thing. You’ll kuow it, for,
as the hussy says, it’s just like you all
over. Please goodness, I’D cxpoac. 7 ou
before everybody.”
In less than five minutes Mrs. S. had
collected a room full of spectators —half
.of the inhabitants of the court —to witness
the process id unwrapping the baby. Anx
ious expoetat ion sat 'on every countenance,
as the jealous lady tore away rag after
rag from the body of the fondling, the
vigorous movement of which astonished
everybody.
“Its full of the devil already,” said
Mrs S., that shows its his. You’ll soon
see that it is like him in everything.”
At last, all of the swadliog clothes be
ing removed, out jumped the baby, and
made its escape through the open door.—
It was a big tom cat!
The disturbances in Pesth, Hungary,

Indiscreet Gratitude.. —Citizens or
soldiers, or escaping prisoners who may
receive kimines and assistance from frieqds
outside our lines, and naturally prone to
express their gratitude publicly, and in
some cases the particularity of their de
scription almost identifies those by whom
they have been aided. We have receiv
ed a message for our people and the press
from one thus situated, imploring us ail
to avoid a course so fatal to out friends.
Let it be announced even in general terms
that the citizens in this place or that
place give comfort to a Confederate, and
immediately Lincoln’s curs arc-set upon
them and his spies posted on all their
paths. That gratitude is kindest and J
therefore most sincere, which is most j
silent now; the time will come when we j
may speak to the praise ofour friends with j
out unloosing wild beasts against them..
Till then let usbe content to wear them in j
our hearts, — Rich. Sent.
Me. Mason in London. —The Lon
don correspondent of the New lork
Herald writes.
It is to,be noted in connection with
these movements that Mr Mason, the
Southern Commissioner, has been instruc
ted to return to London, ' here is aru
mor of some new diplomatic movement
of the Emperor, and, in spite of the news
of the Federal victories, the Confederate
stock is rising, and is being exchanged
for the Mexican. It issaid with a degree
of confidence which certainly surprises
that Mexico and France will and must
acknowledge the independance of the
Confederate States. I do not see the
grounds li.r the assertion, and it may rest
entirely upon supposed necessity—the
necesssty of interposing a friendly pow
er between the Mexican Empire and the
iv.it Northern Republic—the necessity
lor a balance of power on the Western
►continent.
Padocah. — A gentleman who was for a
time a prisoner at Paducah, says that it is the
depot of depots Os supplies for all the south
western armies. A year ago the \a ue o
grain and other supplies there was estimated
at fifteen million?* o t dollars, feinee that time
the amount is said to have increased to some
twenty millions. Forrest burned all these
store-houses military headquarter!,
Later (ruin Europe.
Four new paddle steamers, built of steel
and of great speed, were about to leave
Liverpool to engage in running the block-
“ade. They are named the Badger, Let
Her B, Fox, and Let Her Rip and were
built for the service.
The London /Star” says that the Chan
cellor, of tho Exchequer s surplus, will be
very large—considerably in excess of any
amount that has yet been raised. There
is every reason to believe that the excess
of calculated income over necessary and
probable expenditure will be between
three aud four millions.
The Florida arrived at Santa Cruz,
Teneriffe, on the 4th of March, and sailed
again on the sth. The Tinted States ship
St. Louis reached Santa Cruz on the 6th.
The Earl of Aberdeen is dead.
Lord Ashburton is dead.
The London “Post” says: “Five hun
dred thousand bales of cotton are stated #
to be now in the hands of the Confeder
ate Government, while two hundred thous
and bales would suffice to pay off the whole
loan. A large amount, of bonds has al
ready been delivered, aud cotton received
in exchange, according to agreement.—
There is, apparently, increased facility for
running the blockade, and the difference
between the delivery price of cotton in
the Southern ports and that obtained for
it iu Liverpool may stimulate the purchase
of bouds; indeed, the principal buying for
the last week has been on Liverpool ac
count. There are also, as we have before
stated, other negotiations in progress, to
which we shall probably" before long have
again to refer.”
It instated that the four new blockade
runners, ready for sea at, Liverpool, were
going to have a grand trial of speed, in
the shape of a race to the Isle of Man, on
the 26 of March.
The London “Star” says that the hark
Saxon, which was seized by the Vander
bilt, will b i surrendered by the Federal
Government.
The London “Times, in an editor.al
on American affairs, says that if any
point ot the case is clearer than it was two
years ago, it is this: that the coutest will
be a long one, and the end is not us yet
so much as foreshadowed. It argues that
as yet the Federals have affected very lit
tie towards the subjugation of. the South
or the termination of the war; and as re
gards the chances ot the approaching
campaigns, it thinks that they are almost
as promising for one side as (he other.
It concludes by T stating that the Americans
must have learned by this time that they
have nothing/ to fear from tin. intervention
of Europe , and that the results of the
struggle, whatever they may prove, will
have beer! worked out exclusively by them
selves.
