MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 6, 1865.
Theatre.—O ir readers will 3ee that we
are to be favored with two theatrical repre
sentations commencing I his evening by Miss
Kemble, Miss Marshall and others. ‘‘Damon
and Pythias a,d other popular features are
announced for to-night. The reputation of
the performers is too well known to require
comment.
Benning’s Brigade,
At a meeting of the 2d, 15th, 17th and 20th Ga.
Regiments, composing Benning’s Brigade, the
following resolutions were unanimously passed.
Ist. That the war in which we are engaged is a
just and righteous war—that we are battling for
our rights, our lives' and our independence.
2d. That the same principles which induced us
to take up arms at the beginning, prompts us now
to persevere. If we then judged that the enemy
intended to impoverish and oppress us, we now
knoto that he proposes to subjugate, enslave, dis
grace and destroy us. There is no retreat but in
chains and slavery.
3. That we will never consent to a peace which
proposes a denial of separation and independence.
That to secure independence, we are willing to
brave all—endure all.
4. That we appeal to our government to lose
no opportunity, to.‘spare no efforts to fill up the
depleted ranks of these regiments, reduced by so
many battles. To the Southern people we send
greeting and assure them of our unabated zeal and
our unwavering devotion to political freedom and
constitutional liberty. We call upon our beloved
State to prove by her example, that, though her
soil may be overrun, yet the spirit of her people is
invinoible. We solemnly exhort her citizens to
cultivate a unity of sentiment and concert of ac
tion. We exhort them net to magnify defeat into
hopeless disaster. With “brave hearts in our
bosoms, and God overhead we are certain to tri>
umph.”
5. That to submit now would be te yield the
right of self government; to brand our comrades as
traitors ; to forfeit the glories of an hundred battle
fields; to give up independence, now nearly in
our grasp, and bring shame and dishonor on our
country. Therefore, in the language and spirit of
a sister brigade, unsubdued by past reverses, un
awed by future dangers, we declare our determina
tion to battle to the end, and not lay down our
arms until independence is secured.
“To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or or late,
And how can he die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods ?”
6. That a copy of these resolutions be furnished
the Governor of Georgia, our Senators and Repre
sentatives in Congress, and that they be published
in|the Richmond Examiner and Georgia’papers.
Maj. P. J. SHANNON,
President.
Capt. C. B. Mitchell, 20th Ga.

Consolidation Bill. —Passengers who left
Richmond on the 18th, report that the Con
solidation Bill has passed both Houses of
Congress, but had not yet been signed by the
President ; but it was thqjight he would do
so. The office of Adjutant is retained, that
of ensign is abolished. All companies that
have not forty-two men will be consolidated.
The minimum of a company to be 64 men,
the maximum 125. Officers who are thrown
out of commands are to be allowed their
choice of service within a limited time.
The Central Enquirer of the 23d ult. says :
We understand that on Friday last, three more
men were killed in Shelby county, near the
dividing line between that county and Bibb.
This is eight or nine men that have been kill
ed recently, it is supposed by men commanded
by a Captain Blackburn, who are catching up
deserters.
The Mississippian of the Ist says: Owing
to the damage of the railroad bridges, caused
by the recent heavy rains, the cars, we learn,
will be unable to run between Selma and Me
ridian tor several days. Telegraphic commu
nication between Selma and Meridian, via
Demopolis, has been re-established.
A letter from Monterey says Hon. Pierre
Soule bas arrived in the City of Mexico, on a
mission tor the Confederate States.
At Seima, on the Ist, the Alanama was
higher than known before this winter, and
was rapidly rising. It was reported that the
greater portion of Cahaba was under water.
The water was almost as high as during the
great freshet of 1844, aud was still rising.
An Extknsive Robbery. —On Saturday
night, says the Constitutionalist, one of the
Government warehouses in this city was rob
bed of twenty-seven hundred blankets. The
thieves were very deliberate in their move
movements. They first proceeded to the pub
lic stable on Ellis street, took out a pair of
mules, hitched up a wagon, and proceeded on
their mission, returning the team very hon
estly after the work of stealing. Finding it
impossible to secrete one of the bales of blan
kets, they coolly tossed it in the street.
Prisoners from Montgomery. —The Selma
Reporter of Wednesday says a gentleman in
that city is in receipt of a letter from his wife
at Lime Kilns, dated 25th ult—last Saturday
—who writes that four Yankees were captur
ed in the following manner: had camp
ed near Mr Tharp's residence, a mile from the
kilns, on Saturday night. Sunday morning
Messrs. Tharp and Thompson went down to
where they were, and the \ankees asked them
if they were Union men. Mr. Tharo answered
that they were, whereupon the Yankees in
formed them that they were escaped prisoners
from Montgomery, having got away by bnb
ing the guard. They w ere making their way,
on the line of the Central road, towards Hunts
ville. , , I
Mr. Tharp returned home and reported the
facts to several gentlemen who joined him
and immediately went in pursuit of them with
a pack of hounds. They were overhauled at
Bragg's Station, about nine miles distant

The Alabama and Mississippi Situation.
The Mobile Advertiser and Register, of the'
Ist inst., says:
“ There is nothing more to be said than has
been said. The whole argument of the “situ
ation” in this portion of the battle scene is
comprised in a nutshell. laukee armies are
preparing to overrun and conquer, and hold
and possess Alabama and Mississippi, for the
benefit and behoof of Lincoln's Abolition con
cern. Their armies will only succeed if the
people of these States fail to take measures to
defend them. These States have men enough
to drive the whole Yankee force into the salt
water of the Gulf. If these men will rise like
freemen, and rush in that storm of vengeance
upon the enemy which hi3 past enormities and
future designs are so well calculated to arouse
then Alabama and Mississippi are saved,
and their people will be covered with glory.
If they do not, and supinely await at home
for the handcuffs and the lash of their coming
masters, then the two States are “gone up,"
and their people are not worthy of one drop
of brave blood to secure rights and liberties
which they will not fight for, and could, there
fore, neither appreciate, maintain, nor rightly
enjoy. This is ‘the situation,’ and a thousand
folios of rhetoric oannot enlarge or abridge it.
Something New.—A new costume was
brought out by a lady in this city yesterday,
which attracted no little attention. A close
fitting garment, fashioned similarly to the
“ swallow tailed” coats with which gentlemen
were wont to deck their persons in the elden
time, before Confederate gray .became fasoionable
through neceisity, was all there was of it, but to
see it worn by one of Eve’s fair daughters, was a
novelty. From one of the tail pockets floated a
c-oodly share of a dainty combric handkerchief.—
The General verdict was that a Parisian exquisite
could°not have sported his “latest agony” more
gracefully, and everybody wondered what next?

To Keep Britaxia Metal Bright. —Dip >*
clean woolen cloth into the best and cleanest
lamp oil, and rub it hard all over the outside
of vour Britania ware. Then wash it well in
strong soap suds, and afterwards polish with
finely' powdered buckskin. The inside ot
Britania vessels should be washed with warm
water, in which a little pearlash has been
dissolved. They should be set open to dry
in toe suwand air If not kept very nice this
metal wdl communicate a disagreeable taste.
There is much copper in its composition, that
teapots or coffee pote of china, or white ware,
are preferable to britania metal.
How the Yankee Army is Repleted and
Depleted. —We obtained some interesting items
on this twofold topic, yesterday, from a youth of
our acquaintance, whom we met after a long inter
val, apparently just from the army. And so he was
but it was from the Yankee army. Having been
taken prisoner in September, he was kept about
two months in the hospital, attending to the Con
federate wounded, after which he was sent off en
route for prison. He jumped from the train, on
the passage, and having obtained shelter awhile
with a Southern sympathizer, proceeded to the
nearest Yankee city, intending, as soon as suss
picion was thrown off the scent, to return the way
he eame But his disguise was penetrated by the
sharp eyes of a Yankee detective—sharpened no
doubt by the prospect of making a good thing of
it—who proposed to our young Mobilian the alter
native of being arrested as a spy er being piut, as
a substitute into a Connecticut regiment. He ac
cepted the latter horn of the dilemma, his captor,
of course, pocketing the bounty, and was sent to
Butler’s army. After lying some time before
Richmond, he was sent to the second attack on
Fort Fisher, and before he had been landed an
hour, the day before the assault, a big Yankee
corporal being killed close by him, he availed him
self of the “demoralization” which ensued, to bid
his Yankee friends good bye.
His experience, so far as it goes, is entirely con
firmatory of Mr. Pollard’s observations. There is
no real recruiting in the Yankee army except from
the negroes, who are chiefly bought up as substi
tutes. The white accessions to the ranks are all
bounty jumpers, who make no secret, among their
comrades, of their intention to desert at the first
opportunity and get another bouncy. Such sol
diers can be no more made to fight than Peter
Pindar’s razors to shave ; they are only made to
sell. There is a scanty remnant of old troops—six
in the company to which our informant was at
tached— who fight from discipline as all old sol
diers will do.— Mobile Advertiser.
It is not the darkness adumbrated by our
long succession of reverses that multiplies
our perils, but it is the demoralization of the
public mind. Did we brace ourselves against
Ike shocks of the terrible inroads made by the
enemy, and maintain the equanimity accors
dant with the sentiment befitting the exigen
cies of the hour, there would be no danger of
subjugation,even though a million of Hessians
stood upon our territory. But we fear croak
ing has become chronic and despoudency so
widespread, as to cripple, in some measure,
the energies of the Government. Now there
is a crisis upon us. We are balanced, as it
were, upon the pivot of destiny. There is a
little time allotted us to decide finally and
forever, whether we will be free men or slaves.
There has never been a time in the history of
the globe, when interest so varied and mo
mentous were to be decided. We are the heav
en-appointed guardians of a treasure in which
posterity, and indeed ail mankind, are vitally
interested We dare not shrink from the is
sue ; we must meet it like men. —Selma Re
porter.
“ Corporal Saprelotte ’ writes very patriot
ically and bravely in the Montgomery Adver
tiser. The following application, which he
makes of an old story, is excellent:
One frenchman who no speak moch english
—he went to London. He got a quarrel with
one englishman who propose fight with what
you call fists. Ze frenchman he always fight
with ze sword, like a gentilhemme, but he very
brave, he accept. He know nothing about ze
fist fight. Ze people make one ring around
and say, ze man who get enough, say so, and
ze fight shall stop. Zey fight. Ze frenchman
he got hit in ze nose, in ze eyes, he see thou
sand stars dance around, he cry “Go ahead !
go ahead !” Ze more he cry, ze more ze eng
lißhman hit. Ze frenchman got exasperate,
he make one grand effort and he whip ze eng

General Orders, )
No. 2. j
In entering upon the campaign about to open,
the General-in-Chief feels assured that the soldiers
who have so long and so nobly borne the hardships
and dangers of the war require no exhortation to
respond to the calls of honor and duty.
With the liberty transmitted by their forefathers
they have inherited the spirit to defend it.
Ttie choice between war and abject submission i3
before them.
To such a proposal brave men, with arms in their
hands, can have but one answer.
. They cannot barter manhood for peace, nor the
right of self-government for life or property.
But justice to them requires a sterner admonition
to those who have abandoned their comrades in the
hour of peril.
A last opportunity i3 offered thorn to wipe out the
disgrace and escape the punishment of their crimes.
By authority ofthe President of the Confederate
States, a pardon is announced to such deserters and
men improperly absent as shalUretura to the com
mands to which they belong within the shortest
possible time, not exceeding twenty days from the
publication of this order, at the headquarter? of the
department in which they may be.
Those who may be prevented by interruption of
communication, may report within the time speci
fied to the nearest enrolling officer, or other officer
on duty, to be forwarded a? soon as practicable;
and upon presenting a certificate from such officer,
showing compliance with this requirement, will re
ceive the pardon hereby offered.
Those who have dese ted to the service of the ene
my, or who have deserted after having been once
pardoned for the same offence, and those who shall
desert, or absent themselves without authority, af- !
ter the publication of thi- order, are excluded from ,
its benefits. Nor does the offer of pardon extend to
other offences than desertion and absence without
permission.
By the same authority, it is also declared that no
general amnesty will again be granted, and tho e
who refuse to accept the pardon now offered, or who
shall hereafter desert or absent themselves without
leave, shall suffer such punishment as the courts
may impose, and no application for clemency will
be entertained.
Taking new resolution fromlthe fate which our,en
mies intend for us, let every man devote all his en
ergies to.the common defence.
Our resources, w sely and vigorously employed,
are ample, and with a brave army, sustained by a
determined and united people, success, with God’s
assistance, cannot be doubtful.
The advantages of the enemy will have but little
value if we do not permit them to impair our reso
lution. Let us, then, oppose constancy to adversi
ty, fortitude to suffering, and courage to danger,
with the firm assurance that He who gave fseedom
to our fathers will bless the efforts of their children
to'preserve it. R. E. LEE,
mar 5 6t General-

Tb? discipline ani efficiency .>■ the army have
been greatly impaired bj men ieiving their proper
commands to join others in which they find service
more agreeable.
This practice, almo.-t as injurious :n its conse
quences as the crime ..f d'-seruon, |.y the article- of
War exposes the offender to a similar punishment,
and subjects the officer reeeivi g him to dismissal
from the army.
It i« therefore declared that the provisions of
General Order No. 2. of this due. fr- m iruy head
quartered, apply t such aeu as have left them
proper command? and joined other? without being
regularly transferred. They will receive the par
don promised in that order upon complying with
its condition?, or suffer the consequences attached
to The names of such absentees will be forthwith re-
Dorted to these headquarters by 'he officers with
whom they ’are serving, and umneoiate measures
taken to return them to their proper command?.

Mobile, March s.— One hundred and sev

ers arrived :u this city at ten o’olock last night.
From Columbia. —The Constitutionalist i3
permitted to make the subjoined extract from
a letter ot Dr. R. VS. Gibbes, to a gentleman
in Augusta:
The enemy has destroyed our city—two
thirds at least. There are thousands of wo
men. children and old men without food. I
know that Augusta will help us if it can.
Send us meal, and anything to eat. Ask the
Quartermasters to lend us wagons and mules
to haul wood and provisions.
The enemy is reported to have divided h:s
columns. One column going towards Wil
mington, the other towards Charlotte.
If possible, send garden seed for those who
remain.
T rial of Polish Insurrectionists. —A Ber
lin letter says:
The trial of the Polish “conspirators” was
concluded on Friday, the 23d ult., with much
the same result as was anticipated in my last
report. Eleven of the accused were condemn
ed to death, among whom are Count Dzielin
ski, the greatest land proprietor in Prussian
Poland; Guthier, member of the Polish Na
tional Government, and of the Prussian Cham
ber of Deputies, and Taczauowski and Seifri
ed, who distinguished themselves as leaders
in the insurrection, they not having appeared
tor their trial being considered an acknow
ledgment of their guilt. Os the accused act
ually present, 28 were found guilty of acts
preparatory to the commission of high treason,
and sentenced to an imprisonment varying
from one to two years. All the other prison
ers, about 100 in number, were acquitted : but
lor some of them the attoruey general moved
proceedings in anew cour».D; }
“What’s in a Name!” —A correspondent of
the Augusta Constitutionalist says : Congress
has passed a joint resolution of thanks to
Gen. R. M. Cano for services in the Cherokeo
Natiou, including the capture of large wagon
trains, stores, prisoners, &c., and the official
record spells his name “Guano”—that’s rather
rich and might fertilize a joke ; but then the
General is used to such outrages upon his
patronymic. I remember when he was the
gallant commander of the 3d Kentucky caval
ry, that he made a list of twenty-three differ
ent ways in which his name had been spelled;
but he never imagined that it would come to
“Guano.” Pray do not let us have it so on
his tombstone.

Columbus, March 2d, 1865. 1
This city, it is supposed, is threatened by a raid of
t e enemy. I have a battery, without horses, which
is needed for its defence. It requires sixty-four
horses. If I can obtain this number from citizens
in the city and the adjoining country, both in Geor
gia and Alabama, to be used only in ‘an emergency,
I am authorized by the Post Commandant to say,
that such horses will be exempted from any order
of impressment. Until the emergency may arise,
they will be needed only once a week for drill.
Leave all offers in this behalf at the office of Post
Commandant, Enquirer office, or with me at Dr.
de Graffenried’s. J. F. WADDELL,
