He deceived our Commissionets at Washington. He openly lied to the Peace Com- >-ioii r rs sent from Virginia, to know what his i.-y was.

In the North every scruple of reason, humanity, ,. v, S ate Rights and religion is pro-trated hy • iaw. and no man dare pub! c’y say lie is op 'd to invading the Soutli. Fanaticism infuris dtopbrenzv—« spirit of dead'y animosity to oui lion—lust of plunder and murder—the ruffians the city stews and the still more vicious bigots : t»e rural regions—a compound of ignorance and unity—have now possession of all the resour s of the United States Government and will w M them wiihotit scruple. The Cabinet at Wash- a."i,n has given the cue by instructing its minis- • s at St. James and Fiance to declare this a war r i in an liberty.—George the 26 invoked upon ■devdteu colonies the fury of the savages, but a v declare they will improve upon his example. A ■ inly the vow is registered that the termination ■ t s war shall leave the South a desert and a T - miserable wretches who make these boasts * fatten our soil with their blood if they come ! urute them. But there is no doubt that this •s the plan of the war, and they flatter themselves -nat it ran be duly executed.—The North is mad. anJ it is the dictate of prudence and reason to pre r-are oar minds and our affairs for a struggle which s going to tax our resources and energies to the utmost. Let tis, then, brace ourselves to the: occasion. T. . i, 0 time for idling, apathy and listlessness. ■ tiy man must- make himself useful and shape ., p iii y with a wLse reference to the prospective ■r. lition of affairs.

Business men should cast i . -it them for the means of supplying other wants ' the community. We want leather, shoes, cio- 'i.iiig, J, ts, blankets—and it is only a question of much inconvenience it will require to punish tin into making them. Why wait to suffer it? i I.- probabilities are that we shall have plenty 'f tr-ps for active service—spontaneous self ot- : uf a gallant people. But at home we have ■ v duties—patrol duties—duties of general v._- , e which must be exercised. It is the doty : every wbifo man and white woman now to " detain tlmir fealty to the South beyond question « suspicion. In the North they punish an ex- j ptmsiuiui of sympathy for us by mob law. 1 he i South has hitherto been indulgent, and those who | taunt In with rigor in this particular, know cot j *li-reof ‘hey affirm.

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. 1 Roll of the “Blues.*’ 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. — ——— - Well ilaar. .Ifnrsa. The city of Macon hue uontril;u£»J abnnt Five Hundred meg to defend the rights, honor, mid homes of the South. Noble, gallant men .' God grant that not one may fall before the foe. But where duty calls they will be found ; aud come weal or come woe, they will encircle their brows with a wreath of glory which shall never fade, while patriotism and honor are revered. 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 less and bad men who are now upholding the flag of Abraham Lincoln. We have everything dear at stake. We ronst live freemen. We will not 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. AI.EXS5DBIA, Aprils* Gov.~Letcher has re- aeived offers of 65,000 troop* for this State. (communicated.] Trar Patriotism.

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 V s * * ^L 0 C A L . A Good TIore. 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.

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. Roll of the Baldwin Blues.

COMMUNICATED. 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- Large I now proceed lo give some of the reasons why, [ . Alexandria, Va.

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 been accepted by the ISeeretary of War. “ Our Northern Friends (?)’’—The fol lowing extract from tlte New lork “World” (a miserable abolition sheet) will serve to show Southern Merchants how their great liberality is being appreciated Tlie (Southern man that would invest an other dollar in A.

'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.

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.
