STATE OF GEORGIA, ] Executive Department, {- Millodgevillo, Nov. 19, 1864. J The whole people understand how imminent is the danger that threatens the Slate. Our cities are I being burned, our fields laid waste, and our wives j and children mercilessly driven from their homes I by a powerful enemy’ We must strike like men for freedom or we must submit to subjugation. Death is to be preferred to loss of liberty. All! must rally to the field for the present emergency or the State is overrun. I therefore by virtue of the authority vested in me by the statute of this State, hereby order a levy en matscc of the whole free white male population i residing or domiciled in this State between sixteen j (16) and fifty-five years of age, except such as are I physically unable to bear arms, which physical do- \ feet must bo plain and indisputable, or they must! bq sent to camp fyr examination, and exoept those engaged in the Legislature or Judicial Departments i of the govrenment, which are by the recent act of 1 the'Lcgislature declared exempt from compulsory service. j All others are absolutely required, and members j 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 j emergency is sooner passed. The statute declares that all persons hereby calleP 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 j battalions, regiments, brigades or divisions will be accepted for (40) forty days, if they even approxi mate to the numbers in each orgaization which is r< quired 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 hold to be liable to State militia service and bound to obey the call of the Governor. All such refusing to report will be arrested by the police force or by any Aid-de- Gamp, or other officer of this State,' and carried immediately to the front. The necessary employees of Railroads now actively engaged, and t'ae necessary agents of the Express j Company, and tolegraph operators are from the ne- ; oessity for. their services in their present position, | excused. All ordained ministers of religion in charge of a ! Church or Sjnagogue are also excused. All Railroad companies in this State will trans- ; port all persons applying tor transportation to the j Front, and in case any one refuses, its President Superintendent, lagents and employees will be im mediately sent to the front. All Aides-de-Camp and other State officers are 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 all persons hereby ordered to the front. The enemy has penetrated almost to the centre of your State. If every Georgian able to bear arms would rally around him, he could never escape. (Signed) JOSEPH E. BROWN, Governor.

HILL, dec 6 ts Agent. # ■ ■ ■ ■ From oiir Richmond Correspondent. Richmond, Ya., Nov. 23, 1864. The news from Georgia this morning, though confirmatory of the rumors of yesterday, is, in some particulars, more cheering. If the rains of the last few days have extended to that section, Sherman’s movements must necessa rily be much retarded. This will afford time to concentrate at vital points on his line of march, and in the meantime forces on his flank and rear may hasten him to the destruc tion which seems impending. Information has reached here from a very reliable quarter that the people in some portions of the State most imminently endangered are not displaying the energy and spirit which the exigency should develop. Greed for gain and dreams of peace are not the most powerful stimulants to an elevated and unselfish patriotism. Officers from the lines this morning report the quiet unbroken. The atmosphere in this quarter is a present redolent with pistols and coffee. “The member from Tennessee,” Mr. Foote, a few days since, in replying to some editorial re flection in the Examiner upon one of his recent performances, took occasion to assail John Mitchell in a violent and offensive man ner. Mr. Mitchell sent a note to F. by Mr. Swan, of Tenn., which F. declined to receive, upon the ground that Swan was not a gentle man—whereupon Swan used his umbrella on F's head. Parties interfering, the fracus was ended. To-day the parties all appeared in the Mayor’s Court and were bound to keep the peace. Subsequently to the fracus, F. refused to receive a challenge from Mitchell by the hands of an officer of the array, sheltering himself behind his privilege as a member of Congress. The latest on dit is that a message from Foote to Swan will result in a hostile meeting outside the limits of the State. With* out Mr. Swan is more expert in the use of arms than bis adversary’s past performances have proven him to be the prospect of blood letting is not flattering. The work of legislation progresses slowly. Congress will probably remain in session un til late in the spring. It will thus releive it self of the charge of hasty and inconsiderate law-making and at the same time be fully advised as to the developments of the late Northern election, and the probable demands which will be made upon the country for the next campaign. Military men are divided in opinion as to whether anything more will bo attempted by Grant before spring. It is said that the con dition of the roads present a bar to any for midable movement on his part, but we shall see. Hood’s campaign is(undoubtedly closed. It is certain that its close was not marked by the energy which characterized its initiation. Whether this can be attributed to natural and insurmountable difficulties, or is the part of a plan of deep laid strategy, the future can de termine. A slight snow last night; to-day, bright, windy and cold. A few of the fair sex graced the galleries of the House this morning. An order for secret session soon re-called the sombre hues to the scene which had been briefly dispelled by their presence. This sets out on its destination by a flank movement, Sherman’s capers in Georgia, hav ing temporarily interfered with Mr. Reagan’s energetic endeavors to supply the good people of your section with prompt and reliable mai facilities. JIM. The Situation. —The enemy in South Caro lina (says the Savannah News of the 3d) have retreated back to Port Royal and their vessels. Their effort to go to the relief of Sherman has most signally failed and come to grief. Sherman is still away in the middle of the State, where he has been for more than a week. He occasionally, from day to day, feels round from side to side, like a rat trying to hunt the way out through every crevice of the trap in which it is caught. Wiikelsr and Kilpatrick.—We are unable to gather any definite account of the recent engagements between the vigilant end ener getic Wheeler and the boastful bragadocio who commands the cavalry of Sherman's army. Suffice it to say, however, that enough has been gathered to warrant us in stating that in every engagement between the cavaliers, Kil patrick has received a severe chastisement, and been driven in full speed towards the main body of Sherman’s army. From an intelligent gentleman, who arrived in Savannah yester day from Millen, we learn the following: On Saturday information was received in Millen that the enemy were advancing in force, led by Kilpatrick’s cavalry, in tiiat direction, and, in consequence of which, our force at that place fell back to s|, and there made a stand. During the remainder of that day and throughout the forenoon of Sunday, nothing definite could be heard of the advancing col umns of Sherman’s army. On Sunday after noon it was ascertained that Kilpatrick had advanced from below Louisville, going in the direction of Waynesboro’, and had probably lost his route by taking a small branch road which led into the main road from Waynes boro’ to Millen. He was here attacked by Wheeler, who successfully repulsed and drove him towards Buckhead Church, where he crossed the creek and destroyed the bridge behind him. Wheeler coming up, entered the church, and taking the seats, constructed and cast across the creek a bridge, over which he crossed his command and charged the enemy's works, which they had hastily thrown up alter crossing. General Wheeler drove them for five or six miles in full speed towards Waynes boro'. from this place, fighting them at ever v step. The brave and gallan l Wbeefrr i- fast using up the cavalry of Sherman s army. Re is ever vigilant, and confronts the Yankees in every direction.

Richmond, Dec. 2.—Official dispatches received here state that a force of Yankees were badly whipped at Grahamville, in South Carolina, en Wednesday. It is presumed here that it was this force reported to hare moved from Port Royal. ROSSER’S CAVALRY AT WORK. New Mabkt, Dec. I.— Gen. Rosser captured New Creek and Piedmont stations on the Balti more and Ohio Railroad, with eight hundred pris oners, eight pieces of artillery, two hundred wag ons and ambulances, a number of horses and mules-and eight hundred small arms of all kinds. New Market, Dec. 2.—Gen. Rosser's captures arrired here to-day, with fifteen hundred horses, fifteen hundred head of cattle and eight stands of colors, besides his other plunder. The sth and 6th Virginia Yankee cavalry and their colors were captured by the sth and 6th Vir ginia cavalry of Rosser’s brigade. Liout. Baylor, of the 12th captured Charles town on Tuesday night, with thirteen prisoners and thirty-six fine horses. STONY CREEK CAPTURED BY GRANT’S FORCES. Petersburg, Dec. 2.—Yesterday about noon the enemy having made a long detour on our right with infantry, artillery and cavalry, attacked and captured the garrison at Stony Creek, the present terminus of the Petersburg and Weldon Railroad, twenty miles below here, consisting of about two hundred men. They burnt the depot containing some Government and private stores, and also the railroad bridge at that point. Our forces wero quickly in pursuit, but the enomy soon retired after a slight skirmish with our forces, in which we captured some prisoners and inflicted upon thorn seme loss iu killed and wounded. This morning Gen. Gracie, of Alabama, was killed by a shell whilst inspecting his lines. The same shell killed a captain and a private. Gen. Lee did not demand Pryor’s reloase. Gen. Wiloox, in front of whose lines he was captured, sent a statement in regard to his capture to Gen. Grant and asked his release. Grant referred the application to Meade, who endorsed that Pryor was captured while violating the orders of both armies,and in retaliation for Burbridge captured by us, and could not be released. FROM THE UNITED STATES. Richmond, Dec. 2 — Northern papers, including the Baltimore American, evening edition of the 30th, are received. A Nashville telegram of the 23th says nothing has been received from Hood’s army or from our front since yesterday evening. The rebels made an assault on our works at Co lumbia on Saturday, and were badly repulsed. Rosser’s and McCauslaod’s cavalry destroyed a considerable amount of valuable machinery and other property ;at New Creek and Piedmont. Prior has been sent to Fort Lafayette. Gen. Banks has been ordered back to Now Or leans . The impression prevails in the North that Hood is making his way to East Tennessee. Gold in New York on the 30th, 220. CONGRESSIONAL. Richmond, Doc. 2.—Nothing of interest was done in either House of Congress to-day. From the United States. Richmond, Nov. 30.—New York papers of the 28th, and the evening edition of the Bal timore American of the same date, has been received. A Washington telegram of the 27th, states that eleven officers of the Florida had been sent to the Wachusett, lying in Hampton Roads, and that it is understood that Com mander Cumniings has been ordered to return to Bahia with his quasi prize, together with her crew. A telegram dated the 28th, says this state ment is without foundation, and another of the same date contains an official statement that the Florida had been run into by an armed steamer, v and sunk in nine fathoms of water. Beast Butler despatches that, the steamer Greyhound wa3 destroyed by fire in James river, Sunday. Butler and his staff were re ported aboard, but escaped. Apprehension exists at Washington that the War Department buildings will be fired by rebel incendiaries, and measures had been tv ken to prevent it. Seward has declined to receive the peace address sent from Englan f. It will be pre sented to Congress. Lieut. Governor Jacobs, of Kentucky, re cently banished from that State, is in Gaili- the Rebel authorities having refused to receive him as an exile. A Washington telegram of the 26th. says : We have fallen back behind Duck river. A part of Forrest’s forces have also crossed the river on our right flank and are aiming to strike the road in our rear. Hood’s main army is supposed to be mov ing on the Pike road towards Shelbyville and Wartrace. i Gold in New York at the first board, on Monday, was quoted at 227 U Richmond, Nov. 30. — A special despatch to the Whig, dated Mosey Creek, Nov. 28th. via Jonesboro’, Nov. 30th, says: Sherman or dered every house in East Tennessee to be burned and the country to be desolated.

The enemy came .against us with fully five to our two. A large portion of our forces were raw, undrilled militia, who had Dever seen a battle. They waded into the work vigorously and heroically, and covered themselves with honors immortal. Their praise is .on the lips of all. When the full history of that battle is written, it will be shown to have been one of the most hotly con tested. against the most overwhelming odds, and resulting in the most complete triumph of any fight during the war. The Repulse ot.the Enemy at Grakamville. We gave in our paper of yesterday all the facts that had reached us in regard to what appears to have been a signal repulse of the Yankees by our forces. From wounded men who arrived in the city yesterday morning, we learn that the fight which lasted from early in the morning until late in -the evening, was sharply contested on both sides, our men, mi litia and veterans, fighting with unfaltering valor against vastly superior numbers, driving the enemy from his entrenchments and strew ing the ground with his killed and wounded. From indications in the Yankee fleet it was believed that the fight would be renewed yes terday morning, but it seems the experience of the day previous, and the certain prospect of a still woise handling by our brave men, deterred them from a second attempt, and they lost no time in getting back to their gun boats. From the wounded officers and men in hos pital here, we learn some interesting particu lars of the battle, but while they are income plete, a publication of them might disclose facts which our military authorities would prefer that the enemy Bhould find out for themselves. So far as we are concerned, we prefer that the Yankees should realize the fact that they were repulsed without knowiug what troops whipped them or where they came from. Before Sherman gets through his grand triumphant march through our bor ders, he will come to the conclusion that fight ing men are plentiful in Georgia. We have no very definite information of the movements of Sherman, further than that he is closely watched, and that be has not mate rially changed his position during the last eight days.
