■*«» a Fair Fight.
The Abolitionists, or as they call themselves the
Black Republicans of the North have commenced
a War of extermination upon tho People of the
Southern States. We accept the isnie, and intend
to give them as good a ti»ht as we can. But in
this irrep.essible conflict, we protest against any
interference from outsiders. The Democrats and
conservative Whigs of the North have no lot not
port in this fight. We have no grudge against
them, and we do not want to fight them, if tliey
" ill hsvp out of the. fuss. .T.nst let them stand out
of the way, and let the Black Republicans and the 1
Southern people fight it out, and we promise them j
they shall see rare sport. If they will only stand j
nentral, and let us have a fair fight, with the Ne-,
gro thieves, Abolitionists and free negroes, we i
promise them in about one year to drive them to j
Halitax, where their ancestors the Tories went be-,
fore them. In all of onr former wars against a i
foreign enemy, the Abolitionists have stood back, |
and done no fighting, it is but fair now', as this is '
their war, to let them do the fighting. Let the
Northern Democrats and Conservatives remember
poor Tray, and keep out of this fight.
Definition of Treason—Judge Frazer, of Rusk
county .Texas, recently delivered a charge to the
grand jury of Rusk county, in which he defined
treason as a crime to be looked after in the event
of the State w ithdrawing from the Union. After
the State has fully and unconditionally severed
tho connection between the titate and the Federal
Government, then all who adhere to the Union and
so manifest the fact, are guilty of the crime of trea
son—subject and liable to indictment by trie
Grand Jury under the Constitution as it now ex
ists. After secession, any word, deed or act
against the independence of the State would be
treasym.
It would be well enough fur some men in Geor
gia, to read the ordinance on the same subject in
Ibis State. Our Judges of the Superior Courts,
in making their Charges to the Grand Juries,
would be only doing their duty if they would de
clare what is Treason. There are some men
among us whose tongues are not guarded enough
ou this subject. A word to the wise is sufficient.
Gov. Browu to Ai'Unni*a„.
We hop-e the length of Gov. Brown's letter to
the President of ths Convention of the State of Ar
kansas, will deter no one from its perusal. It
is an admirable document, worthy the head and
heart of our excellent Chief Magistrate.
“Ilarmoiij'.”
The communication of “Harmony," will attract
attention. His suggestion as to a nomination tor
the next Governor, meets our enlire approbation.
What do our brethren of the Press think of it?
Departure of Ihe Soldiers.
The most touching and impressive scene of onr
whole lives was enacted "“at the depot in this city
on_ Friday morning last. At least a thousand
people were assembled to bid adieu to friends aud
kindred, nnd pay the respect of the citizen to the
high patriotism and valor of the’ soldi r. At 8 A
V. M., the train arrived from Eatonton, bearing
the Brown Rifles, Capt. R. B. Nia.bet. Their
jrtiva! was welcomed with the firing of cannon,
and the hearty huzzas of tiie iiniiien.se crowd.
The Blues, escorted bv the Governor’s Horse
Guards, marched up, followed by hundreds of
triends and relatives. Lieut. Caruker bore it
beautiful wreath of flowers iu front. At the depot |
they formed into line to receive tlte last good bye: i
and then suiJt tears were shed ! Old men and •
yout.g men. women and children, poured forth j
the deep aud earnest tear, as if their very head
were waters. Rev. Mr. Elinn made a snort ad
dress,and offerred a most feeling prayer in behalf of
the Military about to leave their homes, kindred,
a nd friends. At length the last kind word was
spoken—the last “God bless you, my boy,” from
mother and father died upon tlie balmy morning
air: the word of command, from Capt. Dob-s,
was given to march, and the gallant Blues were
lost to our sight. The busy note of preparation
was ended—the shrill whistle of" the engine was
heard, and as the caution belched f.irlh the signal
for departure, the precious freighted train moved
slowly away. The very air whs rent with shouts
‘rom the immense crowd, aud with the waving
of hats and handkerchiefs, the scene closed* . NV^e
heard several of the Blues say, that they had
rather meet the foe a hundred times, than again
pass through such an ordeal. The Brown Rifles
carried 80 men, besides officers. They were a
aohle looking set of men. They have been or
ganized but a short time, and with promptness
tendered their services to the Governor. In
their rauks aro some of the best men of Putnam
county. God grani that they may return to tbtir
ailiiutoJ friaujo and ralativt a. Ulii.armed by III
enemy’s balls, or the more dreaded missiles ol
disease.
The “Blues" carried about seventy men. Tliey
are nustly poor men, but th-ir hearts aie in the
right place: and long, long, will the people ot
this city bear in kind remembrance their jseif-
sacriflcing and patriotic spirit. Heaven guard
and protect them. Good angels tend them, and
keep their every step from harm, is the prayer
of him who pens this feeble tribute to their worth
and valor.

In another place we publish the muster roll of
the Baldwin Blues. Lieut. Briscoe, and one or
two piivates, were detained by physical infirmity.
They will join their Company as soon as tliev
are able to do so.
Oar Oorrrxpomlrncr.
We have on hand original matter sufficient to
fiil a whole paper. We must beg our correspon
dents to bo patient. The stirring war news ol
the dav is looked for by our readers, aud that
must have tlie precedence over all other matter.
Gov. Brows'* Proclamation—n. loan from
Ibc enemy.
We invite attention to the important Proclama
tion, in another column, of liis Excellency Gov.
Brown, touching the pay ment of debts hy South
ern men to the North. We are under no obli
gations to give the enemy weapons to attack ns
with : but at the same time that we withhold the
money we owe them, we provide for the payment
of every dollar due them, when they cease to
make war upon ns. This is one wily of conquer
ing a peace, which the North never dreamed of in
its philosophy. Gov. Brown is not apt to over
look any measure of relief to o r people iu the
trying crisis which is now upon us.
Vewlos County.
We understand that this county has already
five organized Volunteer Companies in its limits
A subscription of upwards of ten thousand dol
lars bas been raised for aiding such military
corps. Newton was a strong Union county, but
she is a unit now in defence of the Confederate
States.
Liberal Subsrriplioa.
About three thousand dollars were subscribed
here to the Baldwin Blues, on their departure for
Virginia. This generous donation will be ap
preciated by the Blues.

A Glarious Canin',
Never did a people have a more glorious cause
to cel 1 them forth, and nerve their arms, than the
South has. Patiently and without murmuring wc
hare borne the taunts and aggressions of the reck

be slave* to obey the behests of a tyrant.
We must strike for oiir altars and our fires, the
green grave of onr sires, and for God and Liberty.
Be ye Ala* Beady.
No one can tell how soon our city and county
may be called on to furnish another company to
defend our country. The Blues have just left.
The Troup Artillery must fill np its rauks, and be
ready for service, either at home or abroad. Our
citizens should do all in their power to aid this
new corps, and put it on a war footing. Now is
the time for men of property, and especially those
who are unable to give their own services in the
field, to fly to the aid of military associations. Mo.
ney thus invested will bring a good interest.

A BALDWIN BLUE.
Albany, April 2-ltb, 1861.
Friend Tinsley :
Slit: Your favor of the 21st inst., reached me
this morning. In reply I will say that I am here
fitting out a Company,' and aiding the Albany
Guards, preparatory to leaving—awaiting the call
of our Governor. Say to the Baldwin Blues
my heart and soul is with them, and if I never
see them again iu life, I know I shall hear cf
them doing their duty on the battle ti Id, fighting
like nmn—like soldiers—like patriots If they
leave before I come, say to them farewell 1—but
I hope not forever.
Put my name down for five hundred dollars,
and if they need more, tell them their homes,
their wives, or their sweet hearts, shall not suffer
as long as I have to give.
Respectfully yours,
L. A. JORDAN

We see that in all the cities where our Volunteer
Companies have been called into service, the citi
zens, many bevond the age. are volunteering to
fill up the gap, and thus form a reserved force, to
defend our soil if it is invaded, or march to the as
sistance of cur armies if it shall he necessary. We
hope tlie citizens in Milledgeville, will not be be
hind those ot her sister cities We have material
here for another company, in case the Blues leave
us. (We understand to-day, Wednesday, they
have been ordered to march ) Let us have a good
company to take their place, if it be necessary to
relieve them. Now is the time to organize. Who
will put the ball in motion? _
Strswbrrrin.
We thank Mrs. Stetson, for a present of straw
berries, received on Thursday last. They were
the first we had seen, aud were highly acceptable.
It fs a blessing to be an Editor, when the fruit sea
son begins, and to have such good lady friends.

serve their Fair character (Garaker) for a brisk
corps (Bris coe)—may they nev* r be without
Cash-, may iheir Butler and Gardner furnish
them a cantinuSI feast; may they meet the ene
my and maul her {Mahler), haul {Hall) down

their shin-bone {Shon hien,) and their visit to
Washington will be a Green spot in memory s
waste.
Allrftiug Sffnr*.
We saw many things at the depot on Friday
last that would have drawn tears troni a heart ol
adamant. We heard several old gentlemen and
young ladies, address Lieut. Caraker, in such
strains as these: “Jake, take care of my boy.
“Mr. Caraker, take care of buddy,” &c. One ot
our stout-hearted volunteers said, he could stand
anything but a weeping woman. Several young
ladies who had dear friends in the ranks, perhaps
lovers, were overwhelmed. “Ah. woe is me, ’
cried one young lady.

XonnoHiion for (iorrmor.
Messrs. Editors :—Permit me through your
columns, to suggest a mode of making a nomina
tion for our next Governor. It is this/ Let
every voter at tlie election to be held tho first
Tuesday in July next, on the adoption or rejection
of tho .State Constitution, endorse on his ticket
the name of the person who is his choice l'or Gov
ernor, with tiie understanding that the two re
ceiving th ■ highest number of votes, shall be taken
in the October election, as the people’s candidates
for Governor.
J bis plan, if carried out, would have a good ef
fect, in many ways. In the first place, it would
insure a fair expression of the popular will; a
result which, by the old convention, or caucus
mode of nominating, was seldom obtained. Iu the
next place, it would have no tendency to harrow
In your letter accompanying these Resolutions,
you i. quest that I will lay them before the Legis
lature of this Slate, at tiie earliest convenient mo
ment. I will with pleasure, comply with this re
quest, when our Legislature meets, ou the first
Wednesday in November ne-xt.
You also do me the houor to say. that “you
wonld be pleased to hear from me. touching the
political affairs of the Country, and of the propo
sed remedies for existing evils.’’ In compliance
with this requ st, I have to state, that in the opic
iou of the Convention of the Fepple of this Siate.
there was but one remedy for existing evils, and
that was immediate Secession from the Union,
when it passed into the hands of a Black Repub
lican Administration.
The Ordinance ot Secession, passed by the Con
vention of the people ot the. State of Georgia, is an
irrevocatile deert-e: and there is not the slightest
probability, that this State will ever return to the
old Union, or reunite with New England, or the
other abotiiion States. The pro-siavery and the
anti-slavery States iu the L'nion together, have
long presented the spectacle of a house divided
against itself. The Bible declares, that a house
in this condition canuot stand. In this instance,
as in all others, the declarations of Divine inspira
tion as revealed in that book, have proved infalli
ble. The people of the anti-slavery States, espe
cially the lising generation ol them, have been ed
ucated to abhor the institution of slavery; aud
to regard it not only as a political and moral evil,
but as a great National sin. From the Pulpit
and by the politicians, they have been taught, that
while they remain iu tiie same government with it
they are morally responsible fur it; and that it is
heir duty to wage a war of extermination against
it. In other words, they have been taught that
ihe conflict between the so-called free Slates, and
the slave States is irrepressible; and that it is tin ir
duty to see that slavery is abolished in all the
States where it exists. They have not been taught
to believe that they owed the same duty to Cuba
or Brazil, because they were not united with them
in the same government
On the other band, a great change in favor of
slavery, lias been wrought upon the public mind
of the South, within a short period. A few years
ago. many xjood meu iu the Southern Siates. re
garded the institution as a moral and political evil:
and apologized for it on the ground that it was en
tailed upon us by our ancestors, and that we must
make the best we could of an evil which we had
inherited, and of which we were unable to rid our
selves. The constant assaults made upon us on
account of the institution, at length awaked iu
the South a spirit of investigation of the subject.
In this investigation, our most learned and pious
Divines of different denominations, have tested it
by the standard of eternal truth, as revealed in the
Bible; and have become thoroughly satisfied, that
it is an institution established and sustained by
God himself; that it has existtd since the days of
Noah, when it was established by Divine decree,
as an institution which was toeudure forever: that
it was fully rceoguized and regulated by the Jew
ish Tiieocracv, which was a law given by God for
ilie government of liis people; that our Saviour
while ou Earth, referred to it as being an existing
institution, without the slightest disapprobation,
that Paul, and oilier inspired writers, laid down
rules for the regulation of the cuiiuuet between
master and servant; and that John in his Revela
tions, looking forward to the winding up of all
things earthly, still saw t!i£bondman aud the free
man. These investigations, have, theiefore, led
to the conclusion, that whatever may be the abu
ses for which individuals may be morally responsi
ble, Slavery is an institution which was estab
lished by Divine decree, and declared perpetual,
aud caunct in itself, ba immoral or sinful. These
conclusions of th- Southern mind, founded upon
the truths of the Bible, are the very reverse of
those ti the Northern mind, above referred to,
which have been formed in opeu conflict with the
teachings ot the Bible, and to sustain which the
Bible has been openly repudiated.
While the people of the two sectionsof thecoun-
trv, were embraced in the same political Union,
the conflict between them upon this great moral
question, was vital and irreconcilable. The agi
tation was perpetual. The people of the South
only ask'd to be let alone; the people of the North
refused to comply with this reasonable request;
they had superiority of numbers; they formed a
sectional party, and seized the whole power of the
Government in their own hands. New Yoik and
Massachusetts, with other Northern Slates, claim
ed the right to dictate laws to Georgia and Arkan
sas and other Southern States. By force of num
bers, they had the power to do it. We denied their
right to dictate laws to us; and sooner than submit
to its exercise, Georgia and six other Southern
States, resumed the powers which they had dele
gated to the Federal Government, on account of
the abuse of those powers by that government.
The house was divided against itself, and it fell.
The seven Seceded States have formed a now Gov
r-rnment upon the basis of the old Constitution;
which I trust, will commend itself to the good
people of Arkansas.
The people of Georgia, entertain for the people
of Arkansas, the most fraternal feelings. Many of
them are “bone of our bone and flesh of cur ti sh,
wtio went ottt from among ns, to Seek their for
tunes in the far off fiel s of the West. We have
watched their success with constant intcres!', and
doubt not their minds have often reverted with
pleasure to tho scene of their youthful enjoyment
in our midst. W e an an Agricultural people; so
are you. We arc slave-holders; so are you. That
which promotes your interest promotes ours: that
which affects you injuriously, affects us injurious
ly. In a word, we have common interests, com
mon sympathies, common institutions, and a c ‘tri
llion destiny. Abolition fanaticism, has made war
upon ns. We are now invaded by a Black Ke
publican army, because we retuse to submit to
black republican rule. If we are subjugated or
exterminated, because vre are slave holders, and
you stand by and see it doncTwhat can you prom
ise yourselves in future? Think you that the sac
rifice of seven gallant Southern States, would qui
et the morbid sensibilities of abolition fanaticism?
Never.
The Southern States must-all stand together, or
all fall together. They are one people; and it is
unnatural that they should fight against each oth
er. The ultimate and perpetual separation of all
the pro slavery iStates from the anti-slavery States
must, therefore, he regarded as a fixed fact. The
question, then, naturally arises, What is to be the
iiottre ot the two sections? Can each maintain it
self as a separate and independent government,
and maintain arid perpetuate the republican insti
tutloiis bequeathed to the country by the fathers
of the Republic? I entertain the belief, that the
Northern section cannot maintain republican insti
tutions; but that the Southern section can, and
will maintain and perpetuate tlie institutions of
nur fathers, to the latest generation, and I will, at
the risk of trespassing upon your patience, biiefiy
give you the reasons foe this opinion. So soon as
the Southern States no longer act as a balance
wheel in the Governmehit, the conflict between
capital aud lalior in the Northern section, is una
voidable and perpetual. Upon a great portion of
that section ot the country, the | opulation is al-

onr present republican form of government.
In this state of things, the capitalists of the
country must naturally look to a stronger govern
ment for protection. They will thru be ready to
unite tbe whole of their capital, as the strong pil
lar «f a throne to be mounted by seine bold lead
er, who will engage, by the aid of the purse, to
wield the sword for tbe restoration of order, the
suppression of rebellion, the triumph of capital,aud
the subjugation of labor.
In this rapid review of the causes which must,
in my opinion, result, at no distant period, in the
prostration of republican government iu the North
ern States, I have omitted to mention tlie blind
religious fanaticism of the l’uritnii character; the
natural excitability of the Northern people; their
proneness to worship foreign Princes or Nobles,
who may travel among them, and tbeir inclination
to run wildly after every new ism that iainventtsl
or propagated in their midst; none of which are
favorable folhq perpetuity of Republican liberty
pends npon the price of labor. Each Capital
ist who is a Slave-holder, is. therefore, directly in
terested in keeping up the price of labor; because
he has property in the person of the laborer. If la
bor is high that property is valuable If labor is
so low as only to sustain life, that property >s
worthless—nav, more, it is an absolute burden.
Allow me to illustrate:—A. B owns one hundred
Negroes—if labor is worth one dollar per day, his
negroes are worth an average of $l,fl(>d each; and
he has in them an estate nf jplJWUflldO for his cbil
dren. If labor is worth only a half-dollar per day,
they are worth only §500 each, and his estate is
worth only §50,000. If labor is so low that it will
h.ird'y support the laborer, then Lis slaves are a
burden to him, and liis estate is worth nothing.
This is not only true of the s aves he now has, hut
as lie is raising more, and his estate increases with
the increase of their number, he is interested in
keeping np the price ot the labor; not only of the
present but of succeeding generations.
Having. I trust, succeeded in showing that it is j Tliey have been informed
the interest of the Capitalist and Slave-holder, to
keep up the price of labor, I now remark lliatY
tor this very reason, it is the interest of every free
white laborer in the South, who is nut a slave-hold
er, to sustain and defend the institution of slave
ry. If the work of the slave is worth only twenty
fiveceuts per day, the work of the white man will
command no more, but if tho work of the slave is
worth one dollar per day, the work of the white
man in the same occupation, is worth as nni^b
Hence, every white laborer is interested in sustain
ing the institution of slavery; since, by so doing,
he makes it the interest of every Slave-holder, to
strive to sustain and keep up tho price of labor
Here is noton v perfect harmony between capital! r,j JOSEPH E. BROWN,
aud labor, but all classes of society are harmonized
with each other, and linked together by the evafai
of interest, which, after all that may he said, is thv
great motive power in government
Not only are tfie Slave-holder and the free white
laborer, mutually interested in sustaining each
other, but tho Slave himself is interested in the
common welfare of both. If his labor is worth one
dollar per day. the master has, in addition to the
common sympathies of our nature, a strong motive
of interest prompting him to treat tiie slave well;
to look well to his health and comlort, and with
a view to liis long lift. to see that he is not over

A PROCLAMATION*
Oarer nor of Georgia.
'IAT# ER HAS, by the oppressive and wicked
it conduct of the government and people of
that part of the late United States of America
kuffwn as tlie anti-slavery States, war actually
exists between them mid the people of the
Southern States, and whereas, the President of
the United States lias issued his proclamation,
declaring h?s determination to blockade the ports
ut the Southern States, and is now collecting
federal troops npon Southern soil, for the purpose
f subjugating and enslaving us: and wherea:
worked or abused. The anecdote of the Negio! prf p er ',y belonging to the citizens of the State
and the Irishman, may better illustrate my mean-! ,,f Geotgia. w henever fonnd l within the anti-
ing:— _ j slavery States, is seized and forcibly taken from
Ihe master o'dcred Cutlie, to go down into the owners; and whereas, all contracts made with
well and clean it out; Cutiie replied, Master, I the enemy during the existence of hostilities, are,
think you had better hire the Irishman, he will de (,y ji, e | aw 0 ( nations, illegal aud void, and ail
it fur a dollar. It he gets killed you lose nothing;
but if you send nte down and I get killed, yon
lose a thousand dollars. The argument was sat
isfactory, and the Irishman was employed.
' It tbe price of labor is reduced so low that the
negro is no longer valuable, and he is emancipa
ted, the owner loses his property iu him, aud is
greatly damaged. But how does this affect the
fiee white loborer 7 Several millions of laborers,
who are content with a bate subsistence, are set
free in our midst, and at once come in competition
with him iu the labor market. Then the whole
aspect ot things is changed. I do not now speak
of the social degradation to which our free white
laborers would then be exposed by the necessary
contact and competition which would follow be
tween them and the black race. The whole cap
ital of the country would then combine, as it now
does in tbe North, to depress labor to the lowest
possible point. The capitalist would then no
longer have an interest in the person of the black
laborer or his increase, but only an interest iu the
day’s labor, which he would desire to get at the
lowest possible price; nor would lie any longer
have a motive beyond that of common humanity,
in looking to the comfort, health, or long life ot
the laborer himself. Nor would be longer be
liable for the support of tho laborer in case of
, ol-J or other in ■ bjliily to labor. It
is very evident, therefore, that a complete har
mony between capital and labor, aud a communi
ty of interest between the different classes ol
society, exist in the Southern States, winch do
not, and from the very nature of th ir social and
industrial fabric, never can exist, in the Northern.
The existence of this harmony, is the strongest
guarantee for tine pApetuity of republican libertv
in the South ; w hile the absence of it, is the inos:
certain evidence pointing to the destruction of
republican institutions in the North. Here
most of the menial labor is done by negroes,
who do not belong to the ruling class,
and who are intellectually our inferiors. While
they are docile and manageable, they are physi
cally able to perform alt the duties required ol
them in their station. They are generally tin
educated, (is is the class who do most of the
menial service in every government. And while
they supply a most important place in society,
they feel and acknowledge their intompetency
for self government; aud they neither claim no-
deserve lo exercise political rights, or iu any way
to interfere in the government of the State. It
is true they are required to do reasonable. labor ;
but they are well fed and comfortably clad ; they
aspire to nothing more, and are, therefore, con
tented and happy. Tbe superior intelligence of
the white man directs the physical strength of the
negro; and his pride at th " ballot box, is stimu
lated by a consciousness of the fact that he
belongs to the ruling race, and that, however poor
he may he, there is a menial class below him, who
are neither politically, socially, nor intellectually
his equals.
Hence we have few paupers, no mobs no riots,
and no rebellions. Rulers aro obeyed ; govern
merit is supreme: civil and religious liberties are
firmly established : and all the great interests of
society, harmonising with, and sustaining each
other, are moved forward as one grand harmonious
whole.
In conclusion, (for I have already occupied too
mne-h of your time,) permit me to express the earn
est hope that the gallant and glorious young State
to which you beiong, and to which every true
son of the South nctf looks wlfllso much interest,
stimulated by tiie example so recently set hy
our noble old sister State of Virginia, justiy
styled “the mother of States and Statesmen,” may
soon arise with giant strength, shake off ths
chains which political fanaticism has forged for
her, and assume the prond position to which she
is so justly entitled, as one of the brighest stars
in the splendid galaxy of Southern States.
I am, very respectfully,
your obd’f serv't ,

Montgomery, April 25.—Thirty priso
ners of war, captured with the Star of the
remedies for ihe enforcement of contracts, in our
Courts, between citizens of-this State and citizens
of the States now making war upon ns, which
were made prior to the commencement of hostili
ties,are suspended till the termination of the war:
and whereas, in the language of tlie law of
nations “the purchase of bills on tbe enemy’s
country or the remission and deposit of funds
there, is a dangerous and illegal act, because it
may be cherishing the resources and relieving the
wants of the enemy; and the remission of funds
in money or bills to subjects of the enemy is uu
lawful;” and whereas, sound policy, as well as
international law, absolutely, forbids that any
citizen of this State shall, under any pretext
whatever, assist the enemy by remitting, paying,
or furnishing any money or other thing of value,
during the continuance of hostilities, to tbe gov
ernment or people of the States which have
waged aud are maintaining a most unatural and
wicked war against us; and whereas, justice re
quires that all sums due from citizens of this State
to individuals in such hostile States who do not
uphold and sustain the savage and cruel warfare
inaugurated by their government, should be
promptly paid so soon as hostilities have ceased,
and the independence of the Confederate States is
recognized by the government of the United
States.
J hereforc, in view of these considerations, I,
Joseph E. Brown, Governor and Commander-in
Chief of the army and navy of the State of
Georgia, do issue this, my proclamation, com
manding and enjoining upon each citizen or
inhabitant of this State, that he abstain absolutely
from all violations of the law above recited, and
that he do not under any pretext whatever, remit,
transfer, or pay to the government of the United
States, or an.y oue of the States composing said
government, which is known as a free-soil State,
including among others the States of Massachu
setts! Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, aud Ohio: or to any citizen
or inhabitant of any such State, any money, bills
drafts, or other things of value, either in payment
of any debt due or hereafter to become due, or
for, or on account of, any other cause whatever,
until the termination of hostilities.
And I hereby invite each citizen or inhabitant
of this State who is indebted to said government;
or either of said States, or any citizen or inhabi
tant thereof, to psy the amount of such indebted
ness, whenever due. into the Treasury of Georgia,
in any funds bankable in Augusta or Savannah,
orto deposit the same subject to the order of the
Treasurer of this State, in any one of the solvent
Banks of either of said cities, or in any legally
authorized agency of either of said Banks; aud
upon the making of any such deposit at the
Treasury, or upon presentation of any such cer-
tificate of deposit, the Treasurer of this State is
hereby directed and required to deliver to such
person a certificate specifying the snm so depos
ited; which I hereby declare the faith and credit
of this State will lie pledged to repay to such
depositor in funds bankable in Augusta aud
Savannah, with seven per cent interest from the
date of ihe deposit, so soon as hostilities shall have
ceased, and it shall again be lawful for debtors to
pay the same to creditors in the hostile States
above mentioned. This will not only afford to
such of our citizens ns owe money to Northern
creditors, which international law and public
policy forbid them at present to pay, a safe in
vestment and the highest security for its return
to them at the end of the war, but it will enable
them,in the mean time,to perform a patriotic duty,
and to assist the State, and through her the Confede-
erate States, in raising the funds necessary to tbe
successful defence of our homes, our'firesides, and
our altars.
And I do further command and strictly enjoin
upon all and every chartered Bank iu this State,
which may be iu possession of any note, bill,
draft, or other paper binding any citizen of this
State to pay money to any oue of said hostile
States, or any inhabitant or corporation thereof,
or belonging to any such State or person, to ab
stain from protesting any such draft, bill, note,
or other paper ; Prodded, the person liable on
such bill, draft, note, or other paper, will exhibit
to such Bank or any of its agencies, having such
paper in possession, a certificate, sbowing that
he lias deposited tho amount due OU such paper,
iu the Treasury of this State, or in any one of the
Banks, above mentioned, to the credit of the
Treasurer, or will at the time such paper becomes
due, make such deposit. And I further command
aud require a.l Notarys Public in this State, to
abstain absolutely from tho performance of any
official act for the protest ot any paper of the
tliaiavtoi oboro mcntioDoJ, untinf auoh otroum

IMPERIAL
WINE BITTERS
A RE COMPOSED OF A PURE and nnadnltered
Wine, combined with Barberry, Solomon » Seal
Comffey, Wild Cherry Tree Bark, Spikenard, Cammo-
mile Flowers nnd Gentiau. They are manufactured
by Dr. Dods himself, who is an experienced and suc
cessful Physician, and beuce, should not be classed
among the qiuick nostrums, which flood the country,
and against which the Medical profession are so justly
prejudiced. These truly valuable Bittern have not
been fairly before the public for oue vear, and yet
there is a heavy demand for them from all parts of
the Union.
Dr. Frink, No. 30 West 35th Street, New York,
says:
I have been greatly benefitted by using Dr. Dods’
Wine Bitters, aud am now using them freely ami suc
cessfully in my practice. As a mediciue for Females
_J consider them uneqnaled.”
Dr. Guernsey, No. IS West 23d Street, says:
“I have used Dr. Dods - Wine Bitters in my practice,
nnd in all cases where a tonic is required, I consider
them unsurpassed, nnd choerfully recommend them es
a valuable Family Medicine."
Dr. Meacham, of FI. l ida, says:
“ For several years 1 suffered all the horrors of Cron-
ic Dyspepsia. I used all other remedies without avail.
1 discarded prejudice and used Dr. Duds’ Wine bitters
which have greatly benefitted me, aud I believe will
cure tne.”
Mr. (}• S. Weaver, of Albany, N. Y„ says:
“My wife was sinking rapidly with consumytion; the
best physicinnsin Albanyand New York city pronounc
ed her case hopeless. She used Dr. Dods' Whio Bit
ters; amliscureti"
Mr. J. B. Stoats,of Newark, N. J., says:
“My daughter was extremely ill; she had been at
tended by four of our best physieiaus; her disease was
Inflaniation of the Bowels, wbieh had produced ex
treme debility. Her ease was considered hopeless bv
all who saw her. A friend recommended Dr. Dels'
Wine Bittern: she used them and is well.”
Mr. Brittain, editor of the Banner of Light, in Boston
says:
“Dr. J. Bovec Dods’ Wine Bitten* have cored me of
Piles of the worst aud obstiuate character.’’
A distinguished lady of Mobile, Ala., writing to a
female friend says:
‘ I would advise yon to nseDr. J. Bovee Dods’ Im
perial Wine Bitters. I have n*ed them, and consider
them a blessing to our sex.”
We might write a small volume, aud then would not
give one fourth of the Testimonials in our possession, as
to the virtue of these Valuable Bitters, but we will on
ly snv that they are approved of by our best Physicians,
are doing,much good in all parts of the couutry, and
earnestly entreat the afflicted" to try them.
