When the liberty of Rome was cloven down
after living seven llun lred years, and all Italy
overrun by the i>ai barous mercenaries of the
tyrant, the grand old Senate dispersed into for
eign countries; a section of it lit upon tin?
shores of Africa, and there met to consult what
more to do for their country in its tenjble ca
lamity. The stern old patriot Cato, was for
rallying as many Romans as could be found,
and return to Italy, and there try again the for
tunes of war. Other Senators represented the
attempt hopeless, they must inevitably perish
before the relentless cohorts of’Ciesar! “We
have no country now, better perish with liber
ty than survive it. “Oh, Sena lores ! dulee et
praclarum est pro patria mori! ” cried Cato,
and n* all after ages good men have agreed with
Cato, that it is sweet and glorious to die lor
one’s country.
Comrades ! I don’t hesitate to say, that our
late heavy reverses are owing to the incompe-
teney, or worse, of our officers in the army and
in the Cabinet, they have been too ready to
“give up the field.” With competent officers
the patriot soldiers would have never surren
dered. There is no spirit of surrender, or
giving up in them. We shall have to shoot a
few officers for cowardice, incompetence or
treason, if things don’t mend, or we shall be
sntnugatol.
I have been disgusted with the twaddle about
West Pointers, and military education. Good
strong common sense, and a clear intellect, are
worth more than all the military schools on
earth. A military t-’ 'zation is necessary for
engineers, not for lighting men. No man was
ever more learned than the great Napoleon, yet
in the field lie tlp-ew his hooks to the dogs ; so
much, so that old Melas, the Austrian Genc-
ralisinio, complained bitterly that his marches
and manoeuvres were wholly unaccountable,
and ran counter to every rule in the hooks !
that he was beating up his quarters when he
ought to have been abed, that he attacked his
rear, when, according to Marshal Saxe, he
should have,appeared in lront!
Lord Macaulay, in his review of Lord Nu

Lieut.G. Si. Martin, (whose company is now

which he handled his gun. The wadding hav-

THE BATTLE OF DOVER.
(jn the 14th inst., the enemy were busy
throwing his forces ol every arm around us,
extending bis line of investment around our
position, and completely enveloping us.
of this dav wc ascertained that
gained by the enemy was a most commanding
one, being immediately in the rear of our river
battery and field work for its protection.
From it he could readily turn the intrenched
work occupied by Gen. Buckner, and attack
him in reverse or advance under cover of an
intervening ridge directly upon our battery and
field work. While he held this position it was
manifest we could «ot hold the main work or
battery. Such was the condition of the armies
at night fall after nine hours of conflict on the
loth inst, in which our loss was severe, and
leaving not less than 5000 of the enemy dead
and wounded on the field. We left upon the
field nearly all his wounded, because we could
not remove them. We left his dead unburied
because wo could not bury they). Such con
flict and courage has perhaps never before oc
curred upon this continent. We took about
300 prisoners and a large number of arms.
We had fought this battle to open the way for
our army and relieve us from an investment,
whicli would necessarily reduce us and the po
sition by famine. We had occuDied the whole
day to accomplish onr object, and before we
could prepare to leave, after taking in the
wounded and the dead, the enemy had thrown
around us again in-the night an immense force
of fresh troops, and recccupied his origin il
position in the line of investment, thus again
cutting off out retreat. We had only about
12,000 troops all told. Of these a large pro
portion we had lost in the three battles. The
command had been in the trenches night and
day for five days, exposed to the snow, sleet,
mud and ice water-without shelter, and « itiiout
adequate covering and without sleep.
lu this condition the general officers held a
consultation to determine what we should do.
Gen. Buckner gave it as his decided opinion
that he could not hold his position one half an
hour against an assault of the enemy, and said
the enemy would attack him next morning at
day light. The proposition then was made by
the undersigned to agairt fight through the en*
emy’s line and cut our way out. General
Buckner siid his command was so worn out
and cut to pieces affd demoralized, that he couhl
not make another fight; that it would cost the
command three-quarters of its present numbers
to cut its way through, and it was wrong to
sacrifice three-quarters of a command to save
one-quartei; that no officer had a right to cause
such a sacrifice. Gen. Floyd and Maj. Gilmer

said tiiat lie would turn over the command to

condary importance. Ils chief value no doubt
would consist in its locality in a stratcgetic
point of view, and-in that point of view nearly
as valuable without as with the improvements.
The moral effect of its destruction, as showing
the spirit of the people and the utter hopeless
ness of subjugation, would be something; but
that spirit and tbat hopelessness have been and
will he sufficiently demonstrated w ithout a sac
rifice so costly. What the State expects there
fore of the people of Savannah is that they de
fend it, and if captured that they retake it.—
The flames of Moscow conquered Napoleon, but
because they left the grand army no shelter
from the icy storms of a Muscovite winter. It
mms a noble sacrifice. But what would have

A war without quarter would be an irretriev
able dishonor to the age, ami a blighting re
proach to Christianity. A war on our part,
however, which recognizes no surrender will
he inevitably triumphant, ami is an indispen-
sible necessity. No regiment should be allowed
to return to their lioipcs as exchanged prison
ers— ro t captured, but surrendered soldiers—
without incurring the odium of cowardice or
treachery. No one feels the melancholy seve
rity of such a requirement more than I do. Tlie
necessities of our position imperiously demand
tiiat such a sentiment should pervade the camp
and tlie country. The prodigious resources of
sacrifice will, I know, piert*; the heart of our
people with the deadly agon$ of steel, but alas!
what remains to us but suffering or subjuga
tion ? Surely when we give the flower of our
youth and the chivalry of our manhood to the
-word—when the affections, bleeding and quiv
ering, are laid upon the altar—no greater sac
rifice remains. No soldier *hould esteem his
ifo his own, so long as an invading foot treads
the soil of Georgia. Five- millions ol people
influenced by a common consent to die rather
iban surrender, are equal to a world in arms.
The moral power of national and personal
tillery could react! the battery and inner field
work, enveloping the inner work and (he town
of Dover, where our principal supplies of quar
ter and commissary stores were-in deposit.
These works, pushed with the utmost possi
ble energy, wore not quite completed, nor my
troops all in .position, though nearly so when
Brig. Gen. Floyd, my senior officer, reached
that station. The works were laid off with
judgment and skill by Maj. Gilmer, were well
executed, and designed for the defense of the
rear of the work, the only objection • being to
the length of the line, which, however, from
the surroundings, was unavoidable. The length
of the line and the inidequacy of the force lor
its defense, was a source of embarrassment
throughout the struggle which subse
quently ensued in the defense of the posi
tion.
I had placed Brig. Gen. Buckner in command
ol the right wmg, and Brig. Gen. Johnson in
command of the left. By extraordinary efforts
we had barely got tlie works in a defensible
condition when the«nemy made an advance in
force around and against the entire line of out
er works.
THE BATTLE OF THE TRENCHES.
The first assault was commenced by the en
emy’s artillery against the center ot our left
wing, which was promptly responded to by
Capt. Green’s battery of field artillery. After
several hours of tiring between tlie artillery of
the two armies, the enemy’s infantry advanced
to the conflict all along the line, which was kept
up and increased in volume from one end of the
line to the other for several hours, when at last
the enemy made a vigorous assault against the
right of our left wmg, the position assaulted
being a bight commanded by Col. Heiman, and
defended by his brigade, consisting of the 10th
Tennessee under command of Lieut. Col. Me-
Gavock, Col. Voorhiees’ Tennessee, Col.
Hughes’ Alabama, and Col. Head’s Tennessee
regiments ot* volunteers, atgi Capt. Maney’s
field battery.
Tins assault was -vigorously made, and ill
one ot wtncti we must take in leaving
position. We knew that he had massed in en
campment another large force on the Union
Ferry road, opposite the centre of our left son '
wing, and another in front of the left of our
right wing. His fresh arrival of troops being
encamped on the bank of the river, two and a
.half miles below us, from which latter encamp
ment a stream of Iresh troops was continually
pouring around us on his line of investment,
and thus strengthening his general encamp

campments and on each road he had in position
a battery of field artillery, and twenty four
pound iron guns on seige carriages. Between

A PROCLAMATION.
By Joseph E. Brown, Governor of Georgia.
Information has reached me through various
reliable channels, £hat in the inidsf of our per
ils, the distillation of corn into ardent spirits
has grown to be an evil of the most alarming
magnitude.
In the richest grain growing section of our
State, the number of distilleries has increased
to an almost incredible extent, and the quanti
ty of grain consumed by them is enormous.
In a single county, which is not probably worse
in proportion to its population than many oth
ers, I an^credibly informed that seventy stills
are now constantly boiling. These consume
more grain daily than is required as food for
every human being in the county. At this
rate, our bread must fail in the month of July,
when we have no substitute to sustain life.—
But this is not to be the full extent of our
calamity. If the evil cannot be suppressed,
that wiiich is absolutely necessary for our sup 1
port is to be converted into “strong drink,”
which divine inspiration tells us is “raging,”
which dethrones the reason of our Generals,
in the hour when they lead our armies to bat
tle, degrades and demoralizes our troops, and
causes them to be slaughtered, and our flag to
trail in the dust before the enemy.
Without the corn, which is being thus do
stroyed, it is impossible to support our people
at home, and our armies in the Held. Destroy
the supply while our enemies press hard upon
us on every side, and our soldiers with heavy
hearts must fight our battles on short allow
ance, while their wives and children at home
cry for bread, and the poorer class of our peo
ple weep bitterly with hunger.

“Commanding General.”—Tlie bill recently
introduced in Congress, creating the office of
“Commanding General of the Confederate
Slates,” provides that the said commanding
General shall be appointed by the President,
with the advice and consent of the Senate, and
the said General shall have all the control of all
military operations, and the distribution of
,. UFF i;»i ttoarmins of tlie Confederate
States. The pay of the said commanding offi
cer shall be — dollars if the said coni- advancing
inandcr shall be selected from among the otll-

Can this evil be suppressed by the process
of our Courts under existing laws? Clearly it
cannot. Can public opinion frown it down?
Not while the corn which tlie distiller purchas
ed at less than' one dollar per bushel, which
he withholds from the soldier’s family and tlie
suffering poor, pays him after it is distilled,
nearly tive dollars per bushel. Nor will the
seizure of the corn tor public use effect tlie ob:
ject. If you seize what he 1ms and pay him
for it he will buy more, and pay a higher price
for it, than the poor are able to pay for bread.
If the tap-root is not cut, this noxious plant
will continue to thrive, and feed upon the vepj-
vitals of society. It must be done, or we shall
be surrounded by scenes of hunger and misery,
appalling to human nature, and an amount of
suffering will be entailed upon us, which must
curtain the'Heavens and carpet the eat th about
us, in tlie darkest habiliments of mourning.
Charged as I am with the exercise of Exec
utive power at a time of great peril and respon
sibility, I cannot turn a deaf ear to tlie repeat
ed remonstrances of good men against tiiis grie
vous wrong to society. The cries of soldiers
families and destitute persons oome up before
me or every side, imploring that the evil be
suppressed, tiiat the cup of destruction may
thereby be dashed from the mouths of their
husbands and fathers, and bread bo placed in
their own.
It is the duty of government to protect the
rights and as far as possible to promote tlie
happiness of those who are governed: and in
the midst of revolution and great public calam
ities, by ils strong arm df power, to throw its
shield around the people, and ward off every
blow wliicli is struck at the foundations of so
ciety.
Influenced by these considerations, I feel it
my duty to issue this my proclamation, and to
conunand each and every distiller in this State,
on ahd after the fifteenth day of March next,
to desist absolutely, from the manufacture of
another gallon of ardent spirits, until tlie next
hieeting of the General Assembly of this State.
I shall use all the power I possess to enforce
obed ence to this order, and in case of each re
fusal to obey it, I shall direct the seizure of the
stilt by military authority, and thus abate the
nuisance. This I have a perfect constitutional
right to do, as the material of which this spe
cies of private property is composed, is now
greatly needed for public use.
VV r c need more cannon with which to meet
the enemy. Gun metal, used in the manufac
ture of field pieces, is composed oi ninety parts
of copper, and ten of tin. The copper stills in
Georgia, wiiich are now heavy Colutubiads of
destruction aimed agafnst our own people,
would, if manufactured into cannon, make ma
ny a battery of six pounders, to be turned
against the enemy. Upon this material thus
employed in our holy cause, we could invoke
God’s blessing. Upon it as now employed we
can only expect his curse.
I charge all civil and military officers in this
State to be vigilant in detecting every violation
of the order herein contained, and if any dis
tillery is found in operation, after the time
herein specified, the military officer who com
mands the District in which it is located, is
hqrehy directed to seize the sWy immediately
and report to these Headquarters, and orders
will be issued lor its conveyance to the foundry
in the city of Rome in this State, to be con
verted -into cannon.
I further direct that on and after the date
above mentioned, the Superintendent of the
Western %nd Atlantic Railroad, which is the
property of the State, do absolutely prohibit
the importation o( whiskey over said Road in
to this State; and I request the .President of
each company Road in this. State to give a sim
ilar order, applicable to the Road which he
controls.
I strictly enjoin upon each officer in command
of any portion of the troops now in the service
of this State, to use all his power and influence
for the suppression of the use of intoxicating
liquors By the soldiers under his control. And
1 direct each General in command, to see that
the Army regulations against drunkenness, are
stringently enforced among the officers under
his command, and that all quantities ot intoxi
cating liquors brought near the army for sale,
be immediately seized and emptied upon the
ground. ’
In assuming the responsibility in reference
to’distilleries which I now take without hesita
tion, and in announcing my fixed determina
tion to execute the above order, I am aware
that I come in conflict with the interest of a
large and influential class of persons, who have
disregarded alike the dictates of humanity and
the promptings of patriotism, in their eager
thirst for gain. 1 must therefore expect their
denunciations. But feeling conscious ot the
rejtitude of my course, in the discharge of an
important duty which I owe to the people of
this State, I appeal with confidence to every
Christian, every patriot, every good citizen, and
especially to every mother, wife and daughter
in Georgia, to aid and assist me, in extinguish
ing the burning liquid stream of*death, wiiich
is spreading desolation and ruin throughout
the whole lengtli and breadth of the land.

of thisState, at the Capitol in Milledge-
ville, on the 28th day of February, in
