DAILYJTiMES. J. W. WARRE.V, - - - Editor. COLUMBUS: Tuesday Morning, November 29,1864. The Winter Campaign. I- rorn all indications at present, says the Mem phis Appeal, the winter campaign promises to be little lesß active than those of the spring and sum mer. Tho Mail has information direct from the army of General Ilood, stating that tho army had crossed river at- Florence, and is now probably on its march to Middle Tennes see. Its destination is known only, of course, to the commanding gener ; i!s. though it is thought it will strike., directly for Columbia and Nashville. We shall eudoav&r t > keep our readers posted in regard to its movements and operations. We have information, also, through our cor respondent at Grenada, that a formidable expe dition is fitting out in Memphis t® operate against the Mobile and Ohio railroad, which, if successful, will cut. off the only remaining line of communio ation which General Hood has with the South, but we pre: umo measures will be taken and preparations made to thwart the de signs of the Yankees in that quarter. Our military authorities in Mississippi will hardly be caught napping when they have this timely warning. In Virginia, too, according to Federal accounts, there is to be no in Grant’s ef-.rts against Richmond and Petersburg. Rut this may be a mere boast or ruse to hold Lee’s army where it is and prevent his sending troops in pur suit of Sherman. Very little or no progress can bo made in a winter campaign so far North as Virginia, and we should not be surprised if even a portion ol' Grant’s army is sent South to co-operate with Sherman, and help' him out of the country. For the present, all eyes arej chiefly turcod to the movements of this military chieftain, whose career will probably bo run within the next two weeks. Whether it prove either sweet or bitter, it will at least be short. Wo are in possession of in formation that leads us strongly to hope for his utter discomfiture. If he does not succeed in so baffling our generals by his movements as to pre vent them from concentrating their forces in time and at the proper place, he and his army will never get out of the country except as prisoners of war. Should such be his fate, it will be a glo rious termination of the fall campaign in the Southwest, and will give our cause an impulse that can never be checked. The enemy could hardly recover from such a blow during tho win ter, and we would be enabled to open the cam paign in the spring under the most favorable and flattering auspices. Tho discomfiture and capture of Sherman’s army would secure a speedy ex change of prisoners, which would add somo forty or fifty thousand troops to our ranks, and give us a force with which wo could easily march to the Ohio river. In view then of all the advantages to be derived from his defeat, wo can but believe that the Government will strain every nerve and use every effort to effect it ; and with the hearty co-operation of the people, the States and Confed erate authorities, we think his cescape is im possible. [From the Charlotteville (Va.) Chronicle.] The Confederate Story. We do candidly think that the defense which the South has made in this war, is one of the most remarkable in history. The Dutch in the sixteenth century resisted a monarch who was 1,500 miles distant—and that, not only before the days of railroads but even before the days of turnpikes. The Prussians resis ted the combined attacks of Austria, Russia, France and Saxony for seven years; but part ot the time they were helped by the English, and lor the whole of it were led by the great Frederic, who not only commanded in the field, but was also the ruler in the State. For three years and a half the South has been as sailed by the North on a scale that throws the contest in the Netherlands in the shade, and even transcends in magnitude the operations of the allies against Fiederic. The Uniied „States has called out, iu these four years, a million and a half of men, not a Persian rab ble, but disciplined Anglo-Saxons. Its naval preparations have been commensurate with its levies by land. Its turreted monsters, its iron clads, its gunboats—backed by four hundred wooden ships of war—have blockaded all our coasts, and patrolled all our rivers. A few of the former have severed like a line of forts, the entire Confederacy by theiiue of the Mis sissippi river. A few of them attending their main armies have on many occasions served as so many moveable fortresses to receive those armies in the hour of defeat. The ability to wage war depends on the tem per of the race, on population, and on wealth. In spirit we have foundjthat our enemies were not deficient, as many ignorant persons among us at first assumed. Their population was twenty-four millions ; ours was eight millions ; for it was not the whole South that withstood them. Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, cne third of Virginia, a part of Tennessee, joined their arms against ours. Os the eight millions (or less) on our side, three millions were ne gro slaves, who could not bear arms, who were • neutral, if not hostile, in feeling, and who abandoned our territory when opportu nity offered, and of whom two hundred thous and are now in the Federal armies. In wealth, the preponderance in their favor was still greater. Their property amounted to $16,- - 000,000,000; the property of the Southern States was less than $4,000,000,000. We Know that it was fashionable to tell us that we wore rich, and that they were poor. But our figures are fro pi the census of 1360. We are not rich now. and we never were rich.— No purely agricultural people ever were rich. The ciphering about the cotton crop—the twaddle about exports—were only some of the sophisms which used to be indulged in, anu which did not make us rich any more than Mr. Memminger's badly printed notes supplied us with money. The North had within its limits great em puiitihius of wealth, like Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, Pittsburg, Buffalo, Newark, Louis ville, Albany Detroit—the property in Phila delphia alone equallingall the property in the State of Georgia. The whoie country was alive with trains of railroad cars, canal boats, river steamers, coasting vessels, flouring mills, foundries, cotton factories, and workshops of every description—while its foreign commerce whitened the Atlantic, the South Pacific, the Mediterranean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Asian Seas. The South was a great forest— with three or four considerable towns and numerous petty villages and court houses, and straggling clearings constituting the plan tations. There were some railroads, but the business was small, and an occasional train only broke the silence of the forest through which they passed. There was no canal of importance. The highways were rude coun t’)- roads, almost impassable. There was no soil or smoke stack on the broad rivers, save the Mississippi—which was then the common highway for the two sections. The Potomac, the Janies, the York, the Roanoke, the Neuse. the Santee, the Savannah, the Alabama, were barely broken by a ripple. There were no factories or workshops; no coast trade; no •ships to foreign ports. it required no arithmetic to settle the rela tive wealth of the two sections. A few weeks travel soon established the conclusions of the most careless observer. If, however, there were questions then, there can be none now. Ihe South is wanting even the commonest agricultural products, although her cotton lauds are planted in corn. Articles of apparel, C utensils of every <iav life lux uries. are stu; r.;re. Tne North is filled with corn, flour, beet, pork, sugar, cotton and wool en iabrics, silks, hides, hardware, tea, coffee, spirits, furniture, equipages, horses, mules, cattle, sheep, paper, candles, glass ware, jew elry, fruits, books—all that we mean by wealth. With her great population, with these immense resources, with ship ioads of immigrants and arm3 ani ordnance stores from abroad, she has put forth for more than three year3 her whole strength against our sparse population, our slender means, and our rude industrial contrivances. We had no ships—wooden or iron ; we had no gunboats to ascend her rivers, or to pro tect our own ; we had no arsenals to fab ricate cannon and small arms; we had no factories to weave our cotton and wool; we had no tanneries to prepare our leather ; we could not manufacture, except by slow pro cesses, shoes, gloves, hats, buttons, stockings, sewing thread, needles, pins, knives, canteens, wagons, caissons, ambulances, pontoons, spades, ploughs, ammunition ; we had no means of pushing after our armies all those necessaries and numberless conveniences, which conduce so much to their health and efficiency. We did not even have medicines for our po >r wounded soldiers—for those lan guishing v, ith disease in the hospitals. When we came to a river, we could not cross it; the cutting of a single railroad ha3 frequently necessitated a retreat of our armies. The loss of a railroad engine has been seri ously felt. We have preferred 2500 beef cat tle to 2500 Yankee prisoners. Our very tobacco has spoiled on our hands for the want ot the material to preserve ic. We have to j strip our dead enemies of tlieir shoes. A cav alry man takes the bridle off his f'oeman’s horse before he wipes his blood 3tained sabre. Such 13 the great contest we have sustained. No grander military exhibition has ever, been witnessed. No more brilliant struggle adorns the great romance of history. We stand to-day a conspicuous mark in the long succession of the human drama. Sink or swim—live or die. Grecian triumph or Car thageniftD doom; Batavian victory or Samari tan ruin ; Prussian glory or Circassian exile —our record is complete ; we stand before the world, and will live with posterity, as an example of gallantry that will awaken admi ration wherever the bloody Confederate story is breathed among men. Latest from the United States. SHERMAN’S CAMPAIGN. The “startling” campaign which the Yan-» kee newspapers promise their readers, that Sherman has now fully inaugurated, is thus laid down by the Herald—veracious and en tirely reliable at all times : PLAN OF THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST COLUMBUS. General Sherman occupied Atlanta in force on September 2d. He was hardly well located in the “Gate City” before he began to plan his fall campaign. It was generally understood that his intention was to move against Col umbus, Ga., and upon the Chattahoochee river from that point to the Culf of Mexico. The occupation*t>f this city and possession of this river would practically sever the country west of the river from communication with the eastern part of the Confedei acy. By the river he could draw his supplies from the Gulf, and thus establish a base uuai which to operate against Mobile or Macon The dis tance of Atlanta from the supply depots of his army preclude the idea of depending upon it as a base, and, with a view to further move ments into the interior, anew base of opera tions became indispensable. hood’s ESCAPE FROM SHERMAN. After detailing the main features of General Hood’s marGh on Sherman’s lines of commu nication, the Herald says: On October 23d, Hood moved from Gads den, through Lookout Mountain, towards Gunter's Landing and Decatur, on the Tennes see river, near the last of which places he formed a junction with General Dick Taylor’s army, which had meantime quietly moved up the Mobile and’Ohio railroad to Corinth, and thence to Tuscumbia, the new base of sup plies. He thus placed himself far in General Sherman’s rear before that officer could take steps to transfer his army to the new front of the lebeis on the Tennessee. Hood’s advance had probably reached the Tennessee before General Sherman positively knew that he had abandoned Gadsden. Undoubtedly it was much to his surprise when on October 25th, he tried the gap and found it abandoned by Hood. The position was certainly startling. He dared not follow, thus abandoning his line of supplies to venture in a mountainous country, through which a large army had just passed. It was impossible to transfer his entire army to Hood's front, in time to meet him, and thus hold his communication intact. The position demanded resolution and action. He was not slow to resolve and act. “Let him go North,” he exclaimed to his council, “our business is down South.” BHERMAN’S ROLAND FOR BEAUREGARD’S OLIVER. He represented to his officers that the sit-* uation of affairs justified him in considering his column an independent one, without a foe to confront, ltosseau and Wood’s corps, with Morgan’s division of the Fourteenth and Twenty-third corps, entire, were in Tennessee, along the line of the Tennessee river. They more than equalled Beauregard's forces.- Gen. Slocum’s corps was in Atlanta, feebly besieged by Iverson’s cavalry. He remained with the flower of his army—with the corps that stood at Chickamauga with Thomas and the corps of Grant’s old army that besigsd Vicksburg and relieved Chattanooga, lying in what Governor Brown calls the “heart and railroad centre of the South,” with only the Georgia militia—the mere shadow of an army —to oppose him.. He determined at this im portant juncture to resume his original inten tion, and ignoring the very existence of Hood, carrying out his offensive campaign from At lanta. He determined to follow Hood no longer, but bade him “speed” on his journey North. “If he will go to the river,” he said, “I will give him his rations,” but failed to intimate that he proposed to consider them rations to prisoners. The resolution was promptly formed and the preliminary movements as rapidly execu ted. By November Ist the Army of the Ten nessee had left Rome and was en route to At lanta. On November 4th the five corps—the 14th, loth, 16th, 17th and 20th—had been concentrated at the last named city, and rapid preparations were made to begin the march. Sherman felt in the highest spirits, and tele graphed his intention in these remarkable words: “Hood has crossed the Tennessee. Thomas will take care of him and Nashville, while Schofield will not let him into Chattanooga or Knoxville. Georgia and South Carolina are at my mercy, and I shall strike. Do not be anxious about me. lam all right.” This is his adieu. The Rebel papers already announce that he has started on his march. — Where is he going ? SHERMAN’S FIRST DESTINATION ANDERSONVILLE. Never, during the war, has the South been taken so completely at a disadvantage ; and with the legs of such soldiers as Sherman has he can go anywhere he may desire. To the right lies Montgomery, Mobile and Columbus. The two first are the supply depots of Beau regard. The last is the great arsenal of the South. Within a few hours’ march of Ander sonville. the great Rebel pen in which 20,000 of our men are confined as prisoners and treat ed as dogs. Sherman is not likely to pass it by. He wrote but a few days ago to the President of the St. Louis Sanitary Commis sion : “I thank you for the prompt fulfilment of the request to send certain articles for our prisoners at Andersonville. Things have changed sinee. and I may have to go in person to deliver these articles to the priso ners.” It may be considered a fixed fact that whether Mobile or Savannah, or Charleston be his des tination, Gen. Sherman will take Andersonville in his way. Savannah lies to the left, only fifteen days march. Charleston is in the same direction and not over twenty-five days distant. Let him go whichever route he ma\ he can reach the ocean, or the Gulf without a 1 battle. Written for the Columbus Times. Lines. I leve to hear ’mid poplar groves Melcdious bird3 sing madrigals, Sitting by hoarsely murm’ring streams, Whose babbling fills the intervals. I love to lay mid meadows green ; * Beneath a birch tree’s pleasant shade, And liet all day, (’twould weary not) To the cicadas in the glade, I love to muse on one who died In the sweet springtime of her life, And who passed away to ’bide In heaven, from discord and from strife. I love, when spikey blades appear, And when the lawns their green renew ; To wander to her darling grave And pluck the flowers wet with dew. Those precious blossoms, which myseH Did’st set with care, 0 Ella dear ! Within thy tiny garden spot, Affire they were transplanted here, 0 precious child, an angel now ; Sporting in amaranthine ways ; Sitting by sweetly flowing brooks ; Stringing thy harp to heavenly lays. Thy grave is green, it may be seen Fast by the churchyard’s ivied wall— The litti® mound above the ground Is green as at thy funeral. O Ella, dear, thou art not dead, I hear just now, thy airy wings, Thy mellow voice rings in my ear, Soft a3 the harp that Houri strings. Auburn, Ala. H, L. O. Impressments in Alabama. The following resolutions have passed both branches of the Legislature of Alabama : Joint Resolutions in relation to Impressments and the Schedule of Prices fixed by Confede rate Commissioners. Section 1. Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Stale of Alabama in General Assembly convened , That the right of the Confederate Government to impress the private property of citizens for the public use is conceded ; and when the public service re quires it, but only in such cases, that right should be exercised and always as the Con stitution requires, with just compensation to the owner of said property. Sec. 2. Be it further resolved, That the good faith the Government a3 well as good policy, requires that citizens should receive the compensation awarded them for impressed property at the time it is taken ; and that the policy which has heretofore been adopted, of paying for impressed property in mere certificates of impressment which cannot be used either in the payment of public dues or private debts, is alike a vio lation of the rights of the citizen and the con stitutional obligations of the Government. Sec. 3. Be it further resolved, That the new schedule jof prices fixed by the commis sioners of several States, is arbitrary, unequal and unjust, and should be immediately revised fixing the rate3 of compensation upon the basis of a fair market valuation for impressed property in the neighborhood where it is im pressed. Sec. 4 Be it further resolved, That all certificates of indebtedness issued by the Gov ernment in payment for .property taken for public use should be receivable in payment of public dues. Sec. 5. Be it further resolved, That his ex cellency, the governor, be, and is hereby re quested to forward a copy of these resolutions to each of our Senators ani Representatives in Congress. An occasional correspondent, of the Selma Reporter, at Oxford, Alabama, writing under date of the 21st instant, gives the following items of information, obtained from scouts: The vandals have completely destroyed the railroad between Marietta and Resaca, and burned all the wooden buildings in those places, as they have also done in Rome. A large wagon train crossed the river at Chat tanooga on the loth instant. On the 16th they laid a pontoon below that city, upon which, they say, they will cross the remainder of their train. There is no enemy between Chattanooga and Atlanta. Four corps were sent to the latter place. General Steadman commands a negro brigade at Chattanooga, while at Bridgeport there is only a small brig ade, with one regiment of cavalry at Lookout station. From the vote given in the late election, it is thought that the average strength of their army corps is not more than 4.000 ; hence, the force advancing from Atlanta will not, prob ably, foot up §iore than 25,000. It is scarce ly probable that this army will be suffered to reaeh either Savannah or Charleston in safety, as it is their only way of escape, the back route through East Tennessee being complete ly blocked up. The Memphis Bulletin, of the 15th instant, mentions a rumor current in that city, to the effect that Beast Butler was to supercede Ans dy Johnson as military governor ot Tennessee, the latter being now ineligible in consequence of his election to the vice presidency. Bad as Johnson has been, we hope Butler may not be elected his successor. The Bulletin, how ever, discredits the report, and says it under stands Butler has rented rooms tor himself and suite in New York for one year. - All citizens below the lines of Grant are living in a constant state of apprehension and dread, especially in the country between Blackwater and Portsmouth. The Yankees are out raiding every week, and neither their persons or property are safe. A meeting held in behalf of army missions, on Monday last, in Augusta, resulted in the collection of something over five thousand dollars. Gambling in Blood.—The Richmond Ex aminer says of Grant; To him war is analogous to the game of faro. Persons who have seen him playing at the latter game say his rule is to light a ci gar, select two or three cards and put down his money on them, no matter whether they win or lose, until his last cent is gone. As soon as his purse is absolutely empty he rises from his chair, lights a fresh cigar, takes a big drink of brandy and water, and walks out the gambling hall as cool and impertubable a3 though nothing ha<f happened. But he never leaves the table while there is a dollar in his pockets. Faro was Grant’s bane in California, and war will be his ruin yet, if Lee watches his game well. Men are no more to him than so many “chips,” and all our com manding General has to do is to put no limit en his game and he will soon sacrifice his last man as readily as he has dene his last cent a thousand times at faro. What commis eration does he feel for the myriads of wretch ed privates under his command ? Is he not the great Lieutenant General commanding all the aimies of the United States, and must he not be amused ? Kentuckians Going to Foruest. —Thel New Albany (Indiana) Ledger says that al Confederate battery is reported on the Mis sissippi at Brandywine Point, above Island 37. | The steamers Chenange and Platte Valley were attacked in going up. and two persons killed. Gunboats are now at the bend, an?, further trouble need not be apprehended. The Henderson (Kentucky) News says that the great bulk of drafted men in Kentucky are going into the rebel service. General Lyon has his headquarters at Paris, Tenn. ; with 1 seven hundred men and eight pieces of ar t tillerv. THE CITY- T- J. JACKSON LOCAL EDITOR. All citizens of Columbus not subject to the call of the Governor for military duty and tcho are Killing to report at an alarm of fire to the Engine Home of the several Eire Companies to which they j will be assigned, are requested to call at the store of Rosette, Lawhon A Cos. and enroll themselves I members of the Fire Department during the ab j sence of the Firemen from the city. J. L. MORTON, Ch’s Eng. Fire Dep’t, Columbus, Ga. Nov. 23th, 1864—3 t Theatre. —Mr. Crisp’s Company will appear to night in the grand five act tradgedy of “Bertram, the Outlaw,” in which a fine cast of characters is promised, to be followed by a laughable farce. An interesting treat doubtless awaits theatregoers. See advertisement of Mrs. Knight, who offers a lot of desirable furniture and'a house in the city for rent. Mr. L. M. Biggers advertises for sale a desira ble piece of real estate ten miles frem Columbus. See advertisement. Post Office Removal. —We notice that the Columbus Post Office has been removed from Broad street, to the large three story brick build ing lately occupied as the Arsenal. This change will doubtless be very acceptable to our as the position will be more central and therefore more convenient to a majority of our city people. Our Difficulties. —Owing to the absence of the editor, Mr. Warren, at the Georgia front, and the non-reception of our eastern exchanges, as well as the interruption of telegraphic communi cation east of Macon, we shall doubtless be seri ously embarrassed in the way of keeping up an interesting paper, but promise to do the best we can, which is all that can be required of anybody Under the circumstances we shall have to crave the indulgence of our readers, and live in the hope that our present troubles may’soon be obvi ated by the annihilation of Sherman’s army This we shall confidently expect to hear in a few days, unless by masterly strategy, he manages to elude the snares being laid for him. Sales To-Day.— Ellis, Livingston & Cos. ad vertise two likely negroes and several barrels Florida fish at auction to-day. River News. —We were glad to see the steam boat Indian at our wharf yesterday, after an ab sence of several months, during which time she has been overhauled aud repaired, and is now in fine running condition. We regret to learn, how ever, that she struck a snag on her trip up which will render a little more repaifs necessary. Capt. Fry expects to have her all O. K. in two or three days. We learn from tho officers of the Indian that the “Shamrock” continues to have bad luck. She is now lying up at Otho, Ala., undergoing repairs, having had another accident to her steampipe.— We hope to see her again at our wharf a in a few days. Gen. Von Zinken. —We learn that our Post Commandant, Col. Von Zinken, has been made a Brigadier General, and left Macon on Sunday last with a suitable force for a point where he caa render good service. He will make his command felt if he gets a chance. The Printer. —The printer the adjutant of thought ; and this explains the mysteries of the wonderful word that can kindle a home that no song can—that can warm a heart as no hops—that word “we,” with a hand-in-hand warmth in it, for the author and the primer are engineers to gether. Engineers indeed ! When the little Corsican bombarded Cadiz at tho distance of five miles, it was deemed the very triumph of engineering. But what i3 that paltry range to this, whereby they bombard ages yet to be ? There he stands at the case and marshals into line the forces armed with truth, clothed in im» mortality and English. And what can more noble than the equipment of a thought in sterling Saxon—Saxon with the ring of 3pear or shield therein, and that commissioning it when we are dead, to mova gradually! on to “the laM syllable of recorded time !” This is to win a victory from death, for thi3 has no dying in it. a The printer is called a laborer, and th* office he performs is toil. Oh !it is not work, but a sub lime rite he is performing, when he thus “sights” the engine that is to fling a worded truth in grander curve than missiles ever before described— fling it into the bosom [of an age unborn. He throws off his coat; indeed ,• but wonder the rather that he does not put his shoes from , off his feet ; for tliß place whereon he stands is holy ground. A little song was uttered somewhere long ago . it wandered to the twilight feebler than a star : it died upon the ear ; but the printer takes it up where it was lying there in the silence like a wounded bird, and he sends it forth from the ark, that had preserved it, and it flies on into the fu ture with the olive-braneb of peace, and around the world with melody, like the dawning of a spring morning. Tribute of Respect. Macon, Ga., Nov. 22, 1864. At a meeting of Capt. Pemberton’s company, Lieut. A. G. Itedd was called to the Chair, and Sergt. C.

STATE OF GEORGIA, ) Executive Department, l Milledgeville, Nov. 19, 1864.) The whole people understand how imminent is the danger that threatens the State. Our cities are being burned, our fields laid waste, and our wives and children mercilessly driven from their homes by a powerful enemy - Wo must strike like men for freedom or we must submit to subjugation. Death is to be preferred to loss of liberty. Ail must rally to the field for the present emergency or the State i3 overrun. I therefore by virtue of the authority vested in me by the statute of this State, hereby order a levy en massee of the whole free white male population residing or domiciled in this State between sixteea (16) and fifty-five years of age, except such as are physically unable to bear arms, which physical de fect must bo plain and indisputable, or they must be sent to camp for examination, and except those engaged in the Legislature or Judicial Departments of the govrenment, which are by the recent act of thelLc-gislature declared exempt from compulsory service. All others are absolutely required, and members of the Legislature and Judges are invited to report immediately to Major General G. A Smith, at Ma con, or wherever else in Georgia his camp may be for forty (40) days service under arms, unless the emergency is Jboner passed. The statute declares that all persons hereby called out shall be subject after this call to all the rules and articles of war of the Confederate States, and on failure to report, shall be subject to the pains and penalties of the crime of desertion. Volunteer organizations formed into companies battalions, regiments, brigades or divisions will be accepted for (40) forty days, if |hey even approxi mate to the numbers in each orgaization which is required by the militia laws of this State which were in force prior to the late act. All police companies formed in counties for home defence will report, leaving at home for the time, only those over 55 years of age; and all personshav ing Confederate details or exemptions, who, by the late decision of the Supreme Court of this State, are held to be liable to State militia service and bound to obey the call of the Governor. All such refusing to report will be arre. ed by the police force or by any Aid-de- Camp, or other officer of this State,! and carried immediately to the front. The necessary employees of Railroads now actively engaged, and the necessary agents of the Express Company, and telegraph operators are from the ne cessity for their services in their present position, excused. All ordained ministers of religion in charge of a Church or Synagogue are also excused. All Railroad companies in this State will trans port all persons applying for transportation to the Front, and in case any one refuses, its President Superintendent, [agents and employees will be im mediately sent to the front. All Aidcs-de-Camp and other State officers aro required to be active and vigilant in the execution of the orders contained in this proclamation, and all Confederate officers are respectfully invited to aid State officers in their vicinity in sending forward a persons hereby ordered to the front. The enemy has penetrated almost to the centre of your State. If every Georgian able to bear arm* would rally around him, he could never escape. (Signed) JOSEPH E. EROWN, Governor. tiGU Each paper in the State will publish the above Proclamation. nov 22 It. UNION SPRINGS PROPERTY FOR SAFE!
