Irwinton, Ga., » April 20th, l^ul. | i In accordance with a previous call, a l large and respectaLle portion of the citi- 1 zens of the county of Wilkinson, met in the Court Housc- When on motion, Col (1. B. Burney, j was called to the Chair, and Iverson II j I'leetwood, lenuested to act as Secretary. 1 Being regular Drill day of the Wilkin- ; ! son Rifles, they were then formally reqnes- •: ted to take seats in the meeting which they l did. Dr. R. J. Cochran, was then called up on to explain the object of the meeting, which he did in an appropriate and feel ing manner. And then offered the following resolu tion :— Rcsolred, That the President of this meeting appoint a Committee of three, from each district, whose duty it shall be to open a subscription for the purpose of raisirg money, to aid the Wilkinson Ri fles, who are. on the eve of leaving their homes to defend their country—which res olution was adopted unanimously. Col.N. A. Carswell, then offered the fol lowing resolution : Rcsolred, That the President appoint an Executive Committee of three, Whose duty it shall be to receive the fund raised and disburse the same accord ing to the best interest of the Company and their families, in the event said com pany should be called off. Which resolution was adopted unanim ously.—Mr. Carswell also offered the fol- lowing resolution: Rcsolred, That the citizens of this coun ty, have the highest confidence in the courage and patriotism, of the Wilkinson Rifles. And we pledge them and theirs, should they be called off, our succor and support. The Wilkinson Rifles, upon retiring, j through their Captain, Win. 0. Beall, re- ! turned their thanks, for the cordial manner \ in which they had been received iu the ; meeting. The President having appointed the; Committees called for in the above resolu-1 tion, the meeting then adjourned, subject i to the call of the President. Moved, that the Federal Union and Southern Recorder, publish the proceed ings of the meeting; adopted. G. B. BURNEY, Pros’t. Iverso.vH. Fleetwood, Sec'y. The hour having arrived, when the la- j dies of the county, were to present the i Wilkinson Rides Company with a flag — j I he people in mass followed the Company j to the parade ground in front of Mr. T. Ji. t Beall's residence. When Miss Maxa A. Beall, having been selected by the ladies to present the flag, j was conducted to the 1’lattorui or stage,! that had been erected for the occasion, j And on presenting the beautiful dag of the Confederate States to the Company.— Delivered the following address, with a clear and distinct voice, which not only j reached the heart of the Corps, but all : who heard her; tears could be easily seen j upon the cheeks of many iu the large as- j seinbly : Address,—Amid the general distraction of National affairs, and the prompt and vigorous preparation for coining events, it j may not be. inappropriate, on an occasion : like this, for woman to raise her voice in ; defence of rights as dear as home and as j precious as life. To breakup any political organaization. under which a nation has increased in wealth, power, respectability, is at all times hazardous; and no people compre- ■ disiriifu" 1 Rending and appreciating their position in the family of nations, will overturn the ex isting form of government, or annul time- honored compacts, unless forced to do so in defense of cheiished rights or in the es tablishment ot great and fundamental prin ciples. The right of self-protection and of pursuing and obtaining happiness, iin- j plies the right of change, w hen Govern : i rnent fails to secure these ends. We hold j ! this truth to he self-evident, whenever ive | 'are restrained in the exercise of our Na-; ; tional rights by a central power, or by ma- : ; jorities which disregard our equality and the solemn compact of nationality, such j acts become tyranny, and the people so oppressed, have an inalienable and inde feasible light to institute Government—to alter, re’orni, or totally change the same, when their safety and happiness thus re quire it. To deuy this right of change or reform, is to insist upon oppression and tyranny, without a mode of redress. The attempt to enforce submission to wrongs, injuslice and tyranny, drove our fore-fathers to arms and separation from England. The causes which led to that separation, are too fresh in the pages of our country’s history, and the spirit that animated them has been too purely trans mitted from sire to son, for this generation to suffer similar national Yvrongs to be prac ticed upon a great and free people. We are not persecuted emigrants from foreign lands, recently released from a tyrant’s yoke, and accustomed to the sceptre and crown of royalty, but wc arc the legiti mate sons and daughters from that land of freedom where imperial thrones have never stood and where power and place arc not dispersed by a monarch’s nod.

Before the wicked passions of men had caused the devastating scenes of war to be enacted open the earth,—when God’s great master-piece—the first human crea ture—stood forth in the Garden of Eden, encompassed by all that was essential to hi* wants and transceudent.lv beautiful to behold, that Creator saw fit to add yet an other drop to his already brimming ettp in the person of the peerless Eve. When in an evil hour he transgressed Heaven’s first estate and was driven into the world to “contend with thistles and thorns,’’ that judge who ever ‘‘seasons justice with mer cy,” permitted this lovely though fallen creature to accompany him into his ban ishment. From that time until the pres ent, her daughters have every where striv en to lighten the burdens and sorrows of their natural and sternc associates, and j yvc do but turn aside from our duties as j soldiers to-day, to rvitness and receive an- j other manifestation of the fulfilment of the j mission of woman on earth. Truly we j hear with delight her voice in these troub- : it is guarded by a high and strongly-built rampart, which is surrounded in its turn by a broad and deep fosse, over which are placed drawbridges leading to the princi pal gateways. Arrived in Calcutta, a raw griffin, of coarse I went to inspect the li ons, and among others the fort. The fort is often the scone of animated festivity, fiom the presence of native jug glers. renowned for their surprising skill and dexterity. The performances of these strange people have been so often descri bed, that I shall only mention a few, for otherwise I might tire the reader. One of tb cm struck me as being curious from its having a strong resemblance to the feats recorded in sacred history, as having been performed by the magicians of Egypt, in the time of Moses, and in presence of Pha raoh. Indeed, it is well known that the Hindoo tricks have been handed down from the most distant ages, from father to son, and there is little wonder that such r similarity can exist. The particular trick] alluded to is the apparent conversion of aj brass coin into a snake. Tlie juggler gas'e | me the coin to hold, and then seated him-i self about five yards from me, on a small; rug, from which he never attempted toi move during the whole performance. 11 showed the coin to several persons who] were close beside me on a form iu front of] the juggler. At a sign from him, I not; only grasped the coin 1 held firmly iu my right hand, but crossing that hand with} equal tightness with my left, I inclosed them as firmly as I eould between my knees. Of course 1 was positively certain that tlie small coin was within my double fists. The jugglers then began a short incantation, accompanied by a monotonous and discordant kind of recitative, and re Ions times, pleading for the rights of home i peating the words “Rani Sainmn,” during and its blessed accompaniments. As a people, we have not severed the bonds which hound us to those who are j now our most unrelenting enemies, with- j out timely consideration of the consettucn j some minutes. He then suddenly stop- i pen, and still keeping his seat, made a (nick motion with his hand, as if throw- I ing something at me, giving, at the same i time, a puff with his mouth. At that in- NY e. have looked into the history of slant i felt my hands suddenly distend CCS. the past and found that such disruptions have always been synonymous with revolu tion, with bloodshed, and for the time be ing the most dire results that could befall a people. On the other hand, we behold our dearest rights assailed, our mainsprings of national prosperity crushed, and threat- ed with extinction, by the will of a major ity in power, who wielded that power as oppressively, as if it were the iron heel of despotism itself. aud become partly open, while I experi enced a sensation as if a cold ball of dough, or something equally as soft, nasty and disagreeable, was between my palms. 1 started to my feet in astonishment, and opening my hands found there no coin ; but, to my horror aud alarm, (for of all created things 1 detest and loathe the] j genus, (1 saw a young snake, all active— j oh ! aud of all snakes in the world, a cor- j I hra-de-capello, folded, or rather coiled; not buy them; they flow out m the deepest fountains of the heart; they are the life springs of a fresh, healthy, and generous national character.—Edtrard Ereretl. t*M la Preach. The papers tell a story of a member of the Primitive Baptist persuasion who, am bitious of ministerial honors, was once praying in the woods for some Divine man ifestation of a call to preach. While so engaged, a John Donkey set up one of those cries for which his race is peculiar, which Walker mistook lor an affirmative answer to his appeal and a call to preach. W hereupon he applied for a license, when the following colloquy occurred between him and the interrogating Preacher; “Pastor. Do you believe. Brother Wal ker, that you are called of God to preach, “as Yvas Aaron?” “Walker. Most sartinly I does. “Pastor, Give the Church, that is, the brethren, the proof. “Walker. I was mightily diffikilted, and I was determined to go into the woods and wrastle it out. “Pastor. That’s it. Brother Walker. “Walker. And while there wrastlin,’ Jacob like, I hearn one ov the curiousest voices I uver hearn in iny horned days. “Pastor. You are on the right track. Brother Walker. Go on with your nora tion. “W"alter. I couldn’t tell, for the life of me, whether the voice was up in the air, or down in the sky, it sounded so cu rious. “Pastor. Poor creature! how he was dif fikilted. Go on to no rate. Brother Walk er. How did it appear to sound unto you? “Walker. Why this away: “Waw- waw-ker—waw-waw-ker! Go preach, go preach, go preach, go preach-ee, go preach- sah, go preach-un, go preach-nh-ee-nh-ah- ee. “Pastor. Bruthering and sisters, that’s the right sort of a call. Enough, said Brother Walker. That’s none ov yer col lege calls, nor money calls. No doctor ov divinity uver got such a call as that. Broth er Walker must have license for sartin and sure. “The license was granted, the story goes, and Walker is now doubtless making the mountains ring with his stentorian lungs. African at Home. Tlie following, from the descriptions of Captain Burton, the celebrated African traveller, does not afford much encourage ment to those theorists who preach the equality of races, and who mourn the loss of the native simplicity of the savage: The main characteristic of this people is undisguised selfishness. He has no sense of gratitude, but deems the reception of a favor the proof of the weakness ot his bene factor, and his own strength. Hence, he does not recognize even the hand that feeds him. Hospitality, except for interested motives, is a viitue of which he does not know the name He is exceedingly im provident, taking no thought for the mor row, through inveterate carelessness and studipity, yet so greedy of gain that he will not tell a traveller the road without a present of beads. But not even the love of gain can overawe the levity and laxity of his inind, or operate as a stimulus on his ingrained laziness. Marriage with this people is a mere matter of buying and selling.

Now that the stmui has hurst upon us, i round, trembling with rage and fear, as tf already bit by the deadly reptile, whicb began immediately to crawl along the ground, to the alarm and amazement ot every one present. 'I be juggler now got up for the first time since he had sat down, and catching hold of the snake, displayed its length, which was nearly two feet—two and we are called upon to fight for the i feet all but one inch and a half. lie then rights we have had the temerity to claim j took it cautiously by the tail, and opening i his own month to its wiriest extent, let j the head of (he snake drop into it and de liberately commenced to swallow the an- ! imal, till the end of the tail was only visi- ! ble ; then, making a sudden gulp, the i whole of the snake was apparently swal lowed. After this, he came up to the as our own and inalienable, we are none the less deteimined.

Vigilance Committees visit the houses of the wealthy, and eve ry man is heavily assessed for the support of the families of those who have volun teered their services to the Administration. Assessments of 8.5,000, $3,000 and S2.000 on large houses are said to be very com mon.
