The letters of General Dix and Major Moore
will furnish you with the proper information
for a reply to Gen. Lee’s complaints in regard
to the treatment of Prisoners at Fortress Mon

has never authorized any extortion of oaths of
allegiance or military paroles, and has forbid

that end.

The report of the Postmaster General dis*
closes Ihe embarrassment which resulted in the
postal service from the occupation b\ the ene

territory ol the different Stales. The measures
taken by the department for relieving these
embarrassments as far as practicable, are de
tailed in tins report. It is a subject of con
gratulation that during the ten months that
ended on the 3d ol March last the expenses of
the department were largely decreased, whilst
on the pretext that the inquiry was insul- its revenue was augmented, as compared with
a corresponding period, ending on the SUlli
June, I Mil, when the postal service was con
ducted under the authority delegated to the
United States.

ed.
Il.e exasperation of failure lias aroused the
worst pa-sions of our enemies; a large portion
of their people, even ol their clergymen, now
engage in urging an excited populace to the
extremes ol lerocity; and nothing remains but
to vindicate our rights and to maintain our ex
istence by employing against our toe every en
ergy and every resource at our disposal,
I append for your information a copy of the
papers exhibiting the action of the Government
up to tlie present tunc, for the repression of the
outrages committed on our people. Other
measures now in progress will be submitted
hereafter.
Inviting your attention to the legislation
which the necessities of our condition require,
those connected with the prosecution of the war
command undivided attention.
The acts passed at our last ,-ession intended
to secure the public defence by general enroll
ment, and to render uniform the rules govern
mg troops in the service, had led to some uncx
peeled criticism that is much to be regretted.
The efficiency of the law has been thus some
w hat unpaired, though it is not believed that in
any of the .States the popular mind has with
held its sanction from either the necessity or
piopricty of our legislation. K is only l>y liar
inonious as well as zealous action that a Gov
ernment as new as ours, ushered into existence
on the very eve of a great war and unprovided
with the material necessary lor conducting has
lihlies on so vast a scale, can fulfil iLs duties.
I poo you, who are fully informed of the acts
and purposes of the Government, and thorough
ly imbued with the feelings and sentiments of
the people, must reliance by placed to secure
this great object You can best devise the
means for establishing that entire co-opera-
linn of the State and Confederate Governments
w Inch is so essential to the well being of both
at all times, but w hich is now indispensable to
their very existence.
And if any legislation shall seem tjyou ap
propriate for adjusting differences of opinion,
it will he uiy pleasure as well as duty to co
operate in any measure that may be devised
for reconciling a just earn for the public dc-
trnee it iih i deference lor tin- most scru-
p tilous susi^tihilities of the Slate authorities.
The 11 |H,rt of the Secretary ol the Treasury
will exhibit in detail the operations of tliatde-
parti, lent. It will be seen with satisfaction
lhalliie credit of the Government securities
remain unimpaired, and that this credit is ful
ly justified by the comparatively small amount
of accumulated debt, notwithstanding the mag
nitude of our military operations.
The legislation of the last session provided
lor the purchase of supplies with the bonds of
the Government; but the preference of the
people for Treasury notes has been so marked
dial legislation is recommended to authorize
an increase in the issue of Treasury notes,
which the public service teems to require.
No grave inconvenience need la- apprehend
ed from this increased issue, as the provision
of law by which those notes are convertible
into eight per cent. Bonds forms an vlliojeiit
and permanent safeguard against any serious
depreciation of the currency.
Your attention Is also invited to the means
proposed l>y the Secretary for facilitating the
preparation of these notes, and for guarding
.lo-in against lorgery. It is due lo our people
to ,-tate, that the manufacture of counterfeit
notes exists w ithin our limits, and that they
are all imported from the Northern Ktales.
The report of the Secretary of War, which is
iibmitted, contains numerous suggestions for
the legielalion deemed desirable, in order lo
add to the efficiency of the service.
I invite your favorable consideration espe
cially to those recommendations which are in
tended to secure the proper execution of the
(kmscript Law, and the consolidation of cotn-
panirs, iwitalions anil regiments, when so re-
,lived in stirngth as to impair that uniformity
^'organization which is necessary in the army,
llule an undue burthen is imposed on the
oasury. The necessity for some legislation
_ to the vacancies in some of the offices of
the agents and superintendents, delay has oc
curled in the payments of the annuities and
allowances to which they are entitled. 1 now
advise some provision authorizing payments to
he made by other officers, in the absence of
those specially charged by law with this duty.
We have never ceasing cause to be gratelul
for the lavor with which God has protected our
inlant Confederacy; and it becomes us rever
ently to return our thanks and humbly to ask
of 11 is bouiitcousness that wisdom which is
needful for the performance of the high trusts
with which we are charged.

Lebanon, August 13.—Our unusually quiet
town was thrown into qcitc a high state ol ex
citement last evening, bv the capture of a noi
sy chap familiarly known as “Sonny Phillijis.”
hailing from Utica, a settlement north of this
place.
Sonny Phillips was spreading himself about
town, denouncing the government’s action in
regard lo the coming draft, expressing his sym
pathies for the rebels, and declaring that no
recruits would be furnished from his section by
voluntary enlistment or otherwise, and that he
and his friends were ready to resist at any time.
He w as tolerated by the by slanders as long as
possible, w hen he was “moved” up street by a
crowd of young men. When near the court
house, he turned and began stoning his follow
ers, striking one young man a severe lick.—
This was an invitation for an onset, and Sonny
being a man patterned after Goliah, of immense
stature and strength, was expected to fight on
the rebel terms (one to five), but now, showing
the white feather, he took to bis heels. Dodg
ing his pursuers, he ran into the Billmire
House, rushed up stairs, and secreted himself
under a bed, thus evading bis pursuers for a
time.
After considerable -carcb be was finally dis
covered, taken be.m e a U nited States commit
sioner and committed lo the jail for using sedi
tious language in strongest expressions against
the government, there to await instructions
from the proper authority, llis pursuers, and
the attendant crowd were dispersed, but col

assault upon the building with stones, etc.,
breaking windows, doors, and all that could be
lestroyed outside, then rushed into the com
posing room, they pitched everything into the
street that could he handled—the outsiders
cheering as the work went on—until the es
tablishment was cleaned out During these
acts great excitement prevailed, but no direct
opposition was shown until to-day. when the
news was received that Phillips' friends were
coming in to rescue him, consequently the peo
ple ate standing up to the scratch, and a heavy
guard is placed around the jail. Pickets arc
placed upon the several roads, in apprehension
that his friends may attempt the rescue, or fire
portions of the town. The Democratic Citizen
was an ardent supporter of Vallandigham, and
not a true democrat as it should have been.
II KAMI CARTERS 0E TUE AliNV U. S., (
Washington, August 7, lSt>2.)
To Gen. II. E. Lee, Commanding, Ac.:
General—Your letter, of July Gth, was re
ceived at the Adjutant General's office on the
11th, but, supposing from its i ndorsement that
it required no fui liter reply, it was filed, with-
: out being shown to the President or Secretary'
of War. I learn to day, for the first time, that
aid letter had been received, and hasten lore
I piy-
No authentic information has been received
in relation to the execution ol either John Owen
or Mumford, but measures will be immediately
taken to ascertain the facts of those alleged
executions, of which you will be duly inform
ed.
I need baldly assure you, General, that so
far as tbe United Stales authorities are concern
ed this contest w ill be carried on in strict ac
cordancc with the laws and usages of modern
warfare, and that all excesses will be duly pun
ished.
In regud to the burning of bridges with
in our lines by persons in disguise as peace'
ful citizens, I refer you to my letter of the
22d ol January last to General Price. I think
you will find the views there expressed as not
materially differing from those stated in your
letter. In regard to retaliation by taking the
lives of innocent persons, I knowof.no modern
authority which justifies it except in the ex
treme case of a war with any’ uncivilized foe,
which has himself first established such a bar
barous rule. The United States will never
countenance such a proceeding unless forced
be discharged on parole till exchanged.
Scarcely had that cartel been signed when
the military authorities of the United States
commence!, a practice changing the whole
character of the war, from such as becomes
civilized nations into a campaign of indiscrim
inate robbery and murder.
The general order issued by the Secretary of
War of the United States, in the city of Wash
ington, on the very day the cartel was signed
in Virginia, directs the military commanders
of the United States to take the private proper'
ty of our people for the convenience and use of
their armies, without compensation.
The general order issued by the Major-Gen
eral Pope on the 23d day of July, the day after
signing of the cartel, directs the murder of our
peaceful inhabitants as spies if found quietly
tilling tbe farms in his rear, even outside of his
lines, and one of his Brigadier Generals, Stein-
wher, has seized upon innocent and peaceful
inhabitants to be held as hostages, to the end
that they may be murdered in cold blood, if
any of his soldiers are killed by- some unknown
persons whom he designates as “Bushwhack
ers.”
We find ourselves driven by our enemies by
steady progress towards a practice which we
abhor, anil which we are vainly struggling to
avoid. Under these circumstances this Gov
ernment has issued the accompanying general
order, which I am directed by the President to
transmit to you, recognizing Major General
Pope and his commissioned officers to be in the
position which theychosen for themselves,that
of robbers and murderers, and not that of pub
lic enemies, entitled, if captured, to be treated
as prisoners of war.
The President also instructs me to inform you
that we renounce our right of retaliation on the
innocent, and will continue to treat the private
enlisted soldiers of General Pope’s army as pri
soners of war; but if, after notice to your Gov
ernment that we confine repressive measures
to the punishment of commissioned officers,
who are willing participants in those crimes,
the savage practices threatened in the order al
luded to be persisted in, we shall be reluctantly
forced to the last resort of accepting the war on
the terms chosen by our enemies, until the
voice of an outraged humanity shall compel a
respect for the recognized usages of war.
While the President considers that the facts
referred to would justify a refusal on our part
to execute the cartel by w hich we have agreed
to liberate an excess of prisoners of war in our
hands, aksacrod regard for plighted faith which
shrinks from the semblance ol breaking a prom
ise precludes a resort to such an extnnity, nor is
it his desire to extend to any other forces of the
United States the punishment merited by Gen.
Pope and such commissioned otlicers as choose
to participate in the execution of his infamous
nldrr.
I have the honor to be very respectfully
your obedient servanL

we have learned the names of Lieut J. W.
Brewer, and privates Taylor Marshall, Walter
Chambers and II. Ross. Four artillery drivt rs
were also killed. The enemy were driven
across the Rappahannock, at Berkely’s Ford,
and were in full retreat in the direction of Alex

As our troops approached the rail road bridge
over the Rappahannock, the enemy common c*

after it had terminated, heavy firing was heard
on the left, or in the direction of Warrenton,

Jackson at Warrenton, to hurry up the re

at that point to feed the whole force for some

In the pursuit of the fleeing foe our forces
captured several hundred prisoners, who were

of yesterday, and will perhaps arrive in this

MUCH SICKNESS FROM “EXPOSURE TO A DRAFT.
Of the “Danger ol exposure to a Draft’ we often read
That it generates disorders which are very bad Indeed
Dot the “Danger of Exposnre to a Draft' was ne'er to
great.
As, I judge from indications, It has grown to be of late.
Of all our “loyal citizens,' I think Icaimot toil
Of more than half a dozen who are “feeling very well,”
And so various are the phases of the illness itom one
cause,
That 1 wonder if Dame Nature still is steadfast to her
laws.
One is halt, and one is blind, a third as deaf as any post;
A fourth gone in consumption, and can hardly walk at
moat;
A fifth is dying dally from a weakness of ihe spine.
And a sixth is lading slowly in a general decline.
There la Jenkins,stalwart looking, standing six feet in
his shoes;
And his cheeks, so plump, look ruddy as the sunset s
J ;oiden hues:
as ! tbe fond delusion! ’tie a hectic flush we see—
’Tis a pulmonary Jenkins, who ere long must cease
to be.
There Is Muggins with an abdomen protrusive and ro
tund.
One would think his "constitutionas it is” disease had
shunned;
Hut the droMy. that deceitful and Insidious complaint.
Has begotten his distention—you may ask him if it
ha'nt.
If Jell Davis was a man of any gumption he would know
That be wastes his ammunition when he shoots a dying
foe;
Just let him halt in Dixie till a few more months are
aped,
And I'm sure our “loyal citizens'’ will nearly all be
dead!

McClellan s retreat.
Speaking of McClellan’s final retreat from
the Peninsula, P. W. A., of the Republican
says:
He sent the greater part of his forces down
the river on transports; the remainder, estima
ted at 15,OUO men, he marched across the
Chickahominy, blew up the bridge, and then
proceeded down the Peninsula in the direction
of Williamsburg and Fortress Monroe, lie
abandoned a number of horses and mules, and
destroyed vast quantities of commissary and
quartermaster’s stores, tents, wagons, medi
cines and other valuable property, llis camp
was defended by a series of most elaborate
works, exceeding in extent and strength those
by which he had surrounded his position on
the Chickahominy. To hold these works he
left behind a few “men of straw,” who were
skillfully pasted, so as to deceive our scouts,
who might venture near enough to obtain a
glimpse of them. The evacuation was elfect-
to do so by the barbarous conduct of an ene- L .j evidently, in great haste. A good many

IIEADpi AKTERS ARMY Or TUE “C. S.,’’ 1
Near Richmond, Aug. 2, 1SG2. j
7b the General Commanding the Army of the
United Suites, Washington :
General.—Un tbe 29th of Juno last I was
instructed by the Secretary of War to inquire
ofMaj. Gen. McClellan as to the truth of alleg
ed murders committed on our citizens by offi
cers of the United States army. The cases of
Wm. B. Mumford, reported to have been mur
dered at New Orleans, by order of Major Gen.
B. F. Butler, and Col. John Owen, reported to
have been murdered in Missouri, by ordei of
Maj. Gen. Pope, were those referred to. I had
the honor to be informed by Major General
McClellan that be bad referred these inquiries
to his government for a reply. No answer lias
as yet been received.
The President of the Confederate States has
since been crodibly informed ttiat numerous
other officers of the army of the 1 mted States
within the Confederacy have been guilty ol
felonies and capital offences which are jiunish-
able by all laws, human and divine. I am di
rected by him to bring lo your notice a few of
thase best authenticated. Newspapers receiv
ed from the United States announce as a fact
that Major General Hunter has armed slaves
for the murder of their masters, and has thus
done all in his {tower to inaugurate a servile
war, which is worse than that of the savage,
inasmuch as it superadds other horrors lo tlie
indiscriminate slaughter of all ages, sexes and
conditions.
Brigadier General Phelps is reported to have
initiated in New Orleans Un- example set by
Major General Hunter on tbe coast of South
Carolina. Brigadier General fl. N. Fitch is
stated in the same journals to have murdered,
in cold blood, two peaceful citizens,because one
of his men, while invading our country, was
killed by some unknown person while defend
ing his home.
I aui instructed by the President of the Con
federate States to repeat the inquiry relative to
the cases of Mumford and Owens, and to ask
whether the statements in relation to the ac
tions of Generals Hunter, Phelps, and Fitch-
are admitted to be true, and whether the con-
luct of these Generals is sanctioned by their
Government.
I am further directed by his Excellency, the
President, to give notice that, in the event of
not receiving a reply to these inquiries w’ithin
fifteen days from the delivery of this letter, it
will be assumed that the alleged facts are true,
and are sanctioned by the Government of the
United States. In such event, on that Gov
ernment will rest the responsibility of the ret
ributive or retaliatory measures which shall be
adopted to put an end to the merciless atroci-
ties which now characterize the war against the
Confederate States.
I am, most respectfully, your ob’t serv’t,
[Signed] R. E. Lee,
General Commanding.

Rebels in Connecticut.—The following pla
card, according to the New York Express, was
posted about the streets of New Haven on
Wednesday night:
“Let the standard of the Confederate States
be carried beyond the boundaries of tlie Con
federate States of America, that we may de
mand from the Federal Government our rights
and our recognition, and that the traitor Lin
coln shall kneel to us, while we dictate to him
our terms.”
Another was as follows :
“If we are drafted, we shall be treacherous to
the Government
Southern Independence or Death.”
The other:
“The Federal army is again defeated !
GOOD!
Long live Stonewall Jackson !
Down with the Abolitionists!”
< iov. Magoffin.—According to the statement
of the Northern press, (iov. Magoffin’s message
lo the legislature of Kentucky now in extra
session, condemns the invasion of tlie State by
Gen. Morgan, and says Southern men disap
prove of it. He reviews the present position of
the Federal government regrets the arrests ol
citizens without civil process, and recommends
the adoption of the Crittenden resolutions as a
standing proposition of peace and settlement
At the close he says : 1 hazard nothing in say-
ing I have been more untiring in my honest
efforts to preserve, and have made more propo
sitions to prevent a dissolution ot the Union,
and which promised to be successful if they
had been adopted in time, than all my busy,
brawling calumniators who have their vile pur
poses to serve.
“The News from the Rebel Capital.”—The
following is a sample of the daily bulletins the
Y’ankec papers give of the news from Rich
mond, and by which they manage to keep up
the excitement in the North:
From a gentleman who left Richmond on
Friday, and escaped to this city, we learn some
interesting particulars of affairs at Richmond.
The rebel army*Vhich numbers about 200,-
000 men, is in a state of fearful destitution and
sickness, owing to a want of food and the dis -
eases consequent upon imperfectly cooked food.
Meat is so scarce as to be a luxury.
In cousequence of the sickness among the
troops the general headquarters and a large
proportion of the army have been removed
(torn the city to a mill on the south side of the
river.
A fearful pestilence is raging among the in
habitants, and hundreds are dying daily. The
utmost despondency is felt, and in some cases
the people consider themselves in imminent
danger of starvation.

Further from the Rappahannock.
The intelligence brought down by the train
from Atrdonsville, on yesterday, adds to the
ion already received of the operations
Jackson and Longstreet against the
on the lines of the upper Kappahan-
The enemy’s retreat was being conduc
ted under tbe cover of a strong rear guard of
infantry and artillery. On Saturday moriM^
the enemy crossed the river, the rear ginffd
giving battle, after crossing, to our forces, un
der Gen. Jackson, who were in close pursuit.
The lighting continued nearly all day, our
troops succeeding in crossing over about one
o’clock, at which time the result of the day’s
battle was decidedly in our favor. During the
retreat of the enemy, Gen. Stuart’s cavalry
made a successful detour against the enemy’s
provision train, and is reported to have captur
ed one hundred wagons, a quartermaster, and
other prisoners, and about $35,000 in specie.
The railroad bridge over the Rappahannock
was destroyed by the enemy’s shell, but the
turnpike bridge was uninjured, and was of
course of vast service in admitting of a speedy
pursuit by Jackson’s forces. General Long-
street crossed on Sunday.
About four hundred prisoners were taken in
Saturday’s fight, and the losses on both sides
were severe, the enemy suffering a very disas
trous reverse, and portions of our army in the
beginning of the fight, being subjected to a gall
ing fire. It is reported that the 4th Georgia
brigade commenced a charge upon the enemy’s
principal battery, halt a mile off, and after ad
vancing with heroic gallantry’ in the face of the
lire, to within a few hundred yards of it, dis
covered that ii was on tho opposite side of the
river. They were compelled to reticat, there
being no means of crossing the river, and suf
fered severely.
One company- of the Washington artillery is
reported to have been seriously’ cut up.
Large numbers of the enemy’s dead and
wounded, with many arms, fell into our hands.
The unhurt prisoners were started down on
Sunday for Richmond.
The enemy is endeavoring to reach the Po
tomac, but the pursuit by our army is being
conducted with the determination to cut him
off at Manassas. General Jackson’s headquar
ters were on yesterday at Warrenton Springs,
and Ins division was advancing towards Manas
sas. At present the indications are that Pope
will be forced back upon Fredericksburg, if not
cut off entirely.
Thus it will be seen that within the space of
the Atlanta Intelligencer.)
present below a brief synopsis of an im
t decision of the Hon. O. A. Lochrane,
of the Superior Court, Macon Circuit
question arose on a writ of habeas cor
y an alien to discharge himself from the
ederate service.
In delivering the opinion of the Court, Judge
Lochrane denounced unsparingly the pretext
of foreign allegiance as an exemption from mil
itary service. He said, after a review of the
doctrines of allegiance held in various coun
tries, that they illustrated nothing that would
control Courts he^^id that every Government
had the power o^^weribing and perfecting
its own system of granting citizenship ; no rule
of international law was laid down or adopted.
In view of this fact, it was proper to ascertain
the law of Georgia on tlie subject.
At the time of the secession of the State, the
law of citizenship was controlled under the U.
S. Constitution by uniform rules of uaturaliza
tion ; but when Georgia became a free and in
dependent sovereignty, and prescribed for her
self the manner of conferring citizenship, with
a policy of enlarged patriotism, she adopted an
ordinance making every person, at the time of
secession, residents in her borders, citizens of
the State. This was not acompulsory act, but
a gift of privilege to be accepted by residents
of foreign birth in the nature of letters patent,
under the English system, where citizenship
was e.c donatione regis.
The persons not desiring to become citizens
were required to give notice of the facts by j
filing in the Clerk’s office ol the Courts their
papers to that effect. The status of each indi
vidual was important to be known. Relying
on the fidelity of her citizens, Georgia was de
sirous of ascertaining all who disregarded the
obligation. Under this ordinance the petition
er became a citizen of Georgia; he was within
the scope and jurisdiction of the law, and fail
ed to file aoy paper of contrary impott. As a
sovereign power, the Judge held that Georgia
had tlie right to pass the law, for questions of
citizenship were solely and exclusively within
her own mode and manner of legislation. The
petitioner having accepted the citizenship con
ferred, became, on the entrance of Georgia in
to the Confederate States, a citizen of the Con
federate States, with all the obligations of cit
izenship legally and morally resting upon him.
In strictness of language he was not an alien
but a citizen "ex donutionc regis." He bad
accepted the benefits of tlie law, its immuni
ties and privileges, and he, and all in his con
dition, must, in the opinion of the Court, stand
up to the responsibilities it entails. That mil
itary service is the duty of the citizen of Geor
gia, is too plain for argument. The thousands
who to day endure the hardships of the camp
and the perils of the field attest it. The peti
tioner being a citizen by act of the Convention
and his own acceptance, then he is liable to
military duty. AJiens have always claimed the
right of expatriation and spurned foreign feal
ty, ignored Monarchs and Kingdoms, and
proudly accepted the American doctrine or the
right of carrying their allegiance with their
persons wherever they might go. But the
“change coming over” them comes too late. If
they owed allegiance to foreign powers when
Georgia passed her act of citizenship, why did
they not say so ?
In the opinion of ihe Court,men offoreign birth
in Georgia at the time of secession, owe their
allegiance to the Confederate States by reason
of their citizenship in Georgia, and the act of

A Timely Scqestion. -The Wilmington Jour
nal warns those who have meat to put up this
fall that they ougiit to use at least fifty per cent,
more, taking the nominal bushel as a standard,
than they formerly did of the Liverpool or
Turk’s Island salt. There is at least that much
difference in weight This suggestion, says the
Journal, wc are requested to make by one who
knows, and we know ourselves where some as
lino meat as we ever saw came to spoil for want
of sufficient salt, it having been put up, pro
bably, with the saute measure of Sound salt
that had formerly been used of the heavier sack
salt This is well worth thinking of and at
tending to. Much may depend upon iL
showing too timid a respect for the rights of
foreigners to release them from military duty,
when under the laws of Georgia, no difference
is known between her citizens from whatever
clime they hail. In return for the immunity,
privileges, and protection granted and guaran
teed to them, they must recognize an allegiance
which is legal aud should be natural. This is
no time for foreign citizens to falter on the
road of duty. In the hour of sunshine and
peace, Georgia was the home of their adoption
and choice, and now that the storm of war
howls upon her mountains and smokes along
her shore, they must illustrate their adoption by
acts of patriotism, and not disgrace their loyal-
ty by pretexts of foreign allegiance.

MYSTERIOUS INTIMATIONS.
The following is supposed to refer to the flight
of Pope. It appears first under the Herald’s
“situation” article:
There were rumors in town last night of a
very important movement connected with our
army. We have not received the particulars,
but have reason to believe that it is a movement
of immense importance. The probability is that
there will be some developments of it in a day
or two, perhaps to day.
Bennett’s -Washington correspondent tele
graphs.
1 have heard a report of great importance
from the army. What it is 1 am not at liberty
to state,but I am led to believe that some move
ment of the highest consequence has taken
place. 1 will send the particulars as soon as I
feel authorized to do so.
We are informed, and have every reason to
credit the report, that Gen. Butler will soon be
recalled from the Department of the Gulf, and
that Gen. Dix will take his place there, with
Ids headquarters at New Orleans, and that he
will he associated in the administration of the
local affairs of Louisiana with Hon. Reverdy
Johnson, as Provisional Military Governor of
the State.
A Gallant Printer.—Mr. W. G. Whidby,
formerly local editor of the Macon (Ga) Tele
graph, has gone into the service of his country.
W ith a constitution so delicate that it would
have deterred many, and refusing to avail him
self of the protection Governor Brown threw
over the militia officers, and declining every
subterfuge to escape enrollment, he patriotical
ly volunteered for his country’s defence, and
will, no doubt, do his whole duty in tbe day of
trial.—Chat, Courier,
adonis the ermine lie wears, will, we think,
put to j "t in Georgia this question of the du
ty of foreign residents, which have been raised
only by a few who fear to take up arms, or
wiio ar<> traitors at heart to the South.
Lise mx and Redpato.—The Washington
co'rcsp I..lent of the Springfield Republican
rela'es the following as tbe best thing be has
beard of President Lincoln :
Rtdpath came to tell the President that tieff-
rani, the President of Ilayti, would send a
white minister to this country if Mr. Lincoln
especially desired iL “Hayti is so grateful,”
says Kedpath, “for her recognition at your
hands, that lie was authorized to say that if
you desired it as a favor, a while minister
should be sent instead of a colored one. Of
course, Hayti prefers to send one of her own
children, but she will be generous even to the
prejudice against color I” Mr. Lincoln turned
drolly in his chair and replied : “Well, you
camjkll Mr. Geffrard that I shan’t tear my shirt
if he does send a negro here!” Isn't that re
ply Lincolnish through and through V
Plre British.—The London Times calls the
Y’ankees a “mongrel race,” and speaks of us as
the genuine descendants of Englishmen. We
certainly have much more English blood in our
veins than the Yankees; or rather English,
Scotch and Welsh—that is British blood.—
