Our absent friends, the “Blues.” are informed
that their gallant flag floats every day from the
staff over their Armory. It is a pleasant reminder
to ns of our departed friends. When any good
news comes to us, it seems to float more proudly
and defiantly than ever. We are preparing to add
another star to its noble constellation.

The People of Augusta and the Volunteers.
We visited the camp of the Volunteers on
Tuesday night of last week, aud found the boys
feasting upon the good things furnished them by the
kindness of the citizens of Augusta. Of course
the ladies were foremost in this, as in every work
of benevolence. We saw many of them at the
encampment, enquiring if the soldiers needed
anything, and seeing with their own eyes, if
anything was wanting to make our bravo volun
teers comfortable. Oa the oth-r haud we never
saw- men more impressed with gratitude, than
oar Baldwin Blues were toward the ladies of
Augusta. They will cherish their kindness to the
latest hour of their lives. But these acts of kind
ness were net confined to the ladies, merchants,
mechanics ; all classes of citizens, seemed to vie
with each other in their labors of benevolence.
Even the servants seemed anxious to do some
thing for th? Volunteers. We heard some of the
Baldwin Blues relate what they considered a very
remarkable tact, viz: that they had got several
B *-? khmI tliati-i. on nffarlnpf them pay
for their services, the N groes promptly refused
to take any pay, and said they wished they could
do more for them. We heard but one or two excep
tions to the general rule of kindness from the cit
izens of Augusta, and these were confined to the
keepers of hotels, of whom, we regret to say,
there were many complaints. We know not
what excuse, or explanation, these hotel keepers

If we could do no better, we would copy some
of the articles of the leading abolition papers of
New York city, that our readers might have an
idea of the tone and language which they use in
reference to us. Falstaff is not to be compared to
the Editors ot the Herald, Tribune, Times and
Courier & Enquirer in the use of brave words.
These valiant knights of the quill hurl their terri
ble missiles at us, as if they realty meant to put
some of thsir bold breath into their cowardly arms.
! lie}- fight for pay: but they take good care that
(ho weapon they use is the pen, and that their val
orous bodies are ont of all danger from the ene
my’s bullets. The North, we doubt not, intends
to fight. She is able to fight, and would be dis
graced and degraded beneath contempt if she does
not now fight. We wish onr people to beli-ve
that the North is going to fight. We must not un
derrate the enemy's strength or valor. Our surest
dependence lies in full and complete preparation
to meet the enemies of the North. While we can
have only contempt for the bluster and bravado of
these Editors who fight on paper, and kill and con
quer millions of people as easily as they cross a t
or dot an i, still we must not put too mean an esti
mate on the courage and prowess of the soldiers of
the North. We have no fears of the result of a
conflict with them, to our own volunteers, if we are
thoroughly prepared to light. President Davis
will no doubt see to it, that we have men and mu
nitions of war to make our blows effective.

It is stated that Grt-ely has proposed a plan for
the campaign against the South, which will strike
terror into every Southern uiau’s heart. It is this.
There is to be an army of 400,000 men from the
free States. One division, composed of 200,000,
is to start from Washington to Richmond—take
that city—plunder and kill—proceed to Raleigh—
thence to Charleston—thence to Savannah—thence
to Macon—(why do they ignore Milledgeville?) —
thence to Columbus, Montgomery, and Pensacola,
and there join the other division, which is to arrive
at the same time by way of the Mississippi, New
Orleans, Mobile, &e. Now, reader, is'nt this a
grand idea! We stand appalled before its magni
tude and practicability! Don Quixote never con
ceived an id-a so replete \vith chivalrous incident.
Well, we rather like the idea. The Guano trad?
will be interfered with by the blockade, and as our
worn out lauds in this section, must have some
thing to rejuvenate them, the dead bodies of sev
eral thousand of Lincoln's men will make as good
substitute for manure as any tiling we know of.
just now. Greeley can get plenty ot men down
South, who will take stock in such a scheme as he
proposes. Send ’em along Horace, our niggers

for the exercise of too much economy at Savannah,

Gov. Brown has ordered nu master workman, en

charged too high a price He has fixed no price
for labor at the fort, nor has he fixed any price for
seasoned timber for gun carriages. Iu each case

necessary to get the work done with the utmost
dispatch, stand on no question of cost till the Fort is 1
secure against attack. He has furnished every gun,
shot, and shell, that lias been carried to the Fort,
since it has been occupied by Georgia troops
Not one lias been furnished by the government of
the Confederate States. It may be as well further
to state that it is not the duty of the Governor to
arm, equip, clothe, or feed the troops, after they
are mustered into the service of the Confederate
States. When they enter the service of that gov
ernment, it is the duty of that government to
supply them. If it is not done, Gov. Brown is
not responsible. lie will do all in his power to
make the troops comfortable, so long as be has the
command of them, or they are in the service of the
State: after they pass from under his control, he
will insist that the government which they serve
provide amply for them, and trusts it will not fail
to do its duty.

Messrs. Editors:—Having been requested by
numerous frieuds of Old YY'ilkinson, to write them
at this place, and owing to the confusion in Camp,
it is impossible for me to comply with ray promise
so to do, 1 have concluded to impose on your col
umns as a medium of iulormation to ail.
After having gone through the painful ordeal of
separation from Wives, Children. Parents, Broth
ers and Sisters, the Wilkinson Rifles proceeded ria
C. R. R.. to Milieu, tbeuce to this place. There
were with ns quite a gallant Military band of the
Georgia Y’olnnteers. The Baldwin Blues, Capt
Doles,—Brown Rifles, Capt. Nesbit—Twiggs Y’ol-
unteers, Capt. Folsom. Our Companies were re
ceived ou the lines at the various points, with dem
onstrations of Fernal patriotism seldom witnessed
Especially do we remember those dear iadi- s ot
Waynesboro’, who waited our arrival at that place
with flowers beautiful and gay. but with smiles
more than cheering to tho Soldier. Particularly
do 1 return to that beautiful damsel, who present
ed mo with a Bouquet, my sincere thanks. Not
knowing who she is. or who is the prettiest of all
the fair I saw, I say to the fair ladi s of Waynes
boro’, I desire each should suppose herself tho one.
We arrived at the Augusta Depot, about night,
from whence we were escorted to the Globe Hotel.
YVe were received by the Soldiery of Augusta with
lively demonstrations of respect.
And for the encouragement of our little Irwin-
tou Soldiers, I will say, that we were highly de
lighted to witness tiie manoeuvreing of the Augus
ta Guards, a Corps of Y’o'uuteer lads, led by Cap
tain Leckie.
We are and have been, for several days, living
in tho YY’are-IIouse and eating at the Southern
States Hotel.
Our Soldiers think we are faring rather badly
between two blankets, but I hope it may be no
woise.
I am fully satisfied we shall never have to pass
through so painful an ordeal as we passed through
ou the 2bth,atNo. Hi. C. R. R. 1 bad rather attack
any fort or any city in Y'ankeedom. than to leave
YVit’e and boy again.
Now Mothers, t-isteis and Daughters of old YVil-
kinson, 1 say to you, be of good cheer, for in the
Camp of the W. K., there are perhaps more Bibles,
ami they read more than in most any other Camp;
then bow can wo materially err, if we make it the
rule and guide of our faith and practice, as well in
Camp ns in forum.
YY’e feel exceedingly obliged to tho fair ladies of
Augusta, for their kindness to us, especially to
Mrs. William Gibson, Mrs. A. R. Wright and Mrs.
Ford, for refreshments furnished our Corps. May

A PROCLAMATION.
Bg JOSEPH E. BROWN,
Governor of Georgia.
TITHEREAS, by the oppressive and wicked
YT conduct of the government and people of
that part of the late United States of America
known as the anti-slavery States, war actually
exists between them and the people of the
Southern States, and whereas, the President of
the United States has issued his proclamation,
declaring bis determination to blockade the ports
of the Sonthsrn States, and is now collecting
federal troops npon Southern soil, for the purpose
of subjugating and euslaving us: and whereas,
property belonging to the citizens of the State
of Georgia, whenever found within the anti-
slavery States, is seized and forcibly taken from
iti owners; and whereas, all contracts made with
the enemy during the existence of hostilities, are,
by the law of nations, illegal and void, and all
remedies for the enforcement of contracts, in our
Courts, between citizens of this State and citizens
of the States now making war upon us, which
were made prior to the commencement of hostili
ties,are suspended till the termination of the war;
and whereas, in the language of the law of
nations -‘the purchase of bills on the enemy’s
country or the remission and deposit of funds
there, is a dangerous and illegal aet, 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 un
lawful;’’ and whereas, sound policy, as well as
international law, absolutely forbids that any
citizen of this StRte 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 the gov
ernment or people of the States which have
waged and are maintaining a most unatnral 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 aud 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 tho United
States.
Therefore, 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 if sue this, my proclamation, com
manding Rnd 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 governin' nt of the United
States, or any 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 dne 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 whoia indebted to sail government;
or either of said States, or any citizen or inhabi
tant thereof, to pay 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 tho
Treasurer of this State, in any one ot the solvent
Banks of either of said cities, or in any legally
authorized agency of either of said Banks; and
upon the making of any such deposit at the
Treasury, or upou 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 sum so depos
ited; which I hereby declare the faith and credit
of this State will be pledged to repay to snch
depositor in funds bankable in Augusta and
Savannah, with seven per cent interest from the
date of the 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 as owe money to Northern
creditors, which international law and public
policy forbid them at present to pay, a safe in
vestment and the hieheat 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 the
successful defence of our homes, our firesides, and
our altars.
And I do further command and strictly enjoin
upon all and every chartered Bank in this State,
which may be in possession of any note, bill,
draft, or other paper binding any citizen of this
State to pay money to any one of said hostile
States, or any inhabitant or corporation thereof,
or belonging to any such State or person, to ab

DR. J. B0VEE D0DS’
IMPERIAL
WINE BITTERS
A RE COMPOSED OF A PURE and uuaduitered
YVine, combined with Barberry, Solomon's Seal
Coinfrey, Wild Cherry Tree Bark, Spikenard, (’ainmo-
mile Flowers and Gentiau. They are manufactured
by Dr. I)ods himself, who is an experienced and suc
cessful Physician, and hence, should not be classed
among the quack Dost nuns, which flood the country,
and against which the Medical profession are so justly
prejudiced. These truly valuable Bitters have not
been fairly before the public for one year, 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. Duds'
Wine Bitters, and am now using them freely and suc
cessfully in my practice. As a medicine for Females
I consider them oneqiialed.”
Dr. Guernsey, No. 16 West 23d Street, says:
“I have used Dr. Duds’ Wine Bitters in my practice,
and in all cases where a tonic is required, I consider
them unsurpassed, and cheerfully recommend them as
a valnableVaiuily Medicine.”
I)r. Meachaui, of Florida, says:
“For several years 1 suffered all the horrors of Cron-
ic Dyspepsia. I used all other remedies without avail.
I discarded prejudice and need Dr. Duds' W ine bitters
which have greatly benefitted me, and I believe will
cure me.”
Mr. G S. Weaver, of Albany, N. V.says:
“My wife was sinking rapidly with coiisnmytion; the
best physicians iu Albauyand New Y’urk city pronounc
ed her ease liopeb-ss. She used l)r. Duds’ Wine Bit
ters; and is cured.' ’
Mr. J. B. Staats, of Newark, N. J.,says:
“My daughter was extremely ill; she had been at
tended by four of our best physicians; her disease was
Inflamntion of the Bowels, which had produced ex
treme debility. Her case was considered hopeless by
all who saw her. A friend recommended Dr. Duds'
YVine Bitters; she used them and is well.”
Mr. Brittain, editor of the Banner of Light, iu Boston
says:
“Dr. J. Bovee Duds’ Wine Bitter* have cured me of
Piles of the worst and obstinate character.”
A distinguished lady of Mobile, Ala., writing to a
female friend says:
“I would advise you to use Dr. J. Bovee Dods' Im
perial Wine Bitters. 1 have used them, aud consider
them a blessing to our sex.”
We might write a small volume, and then would oot
give one fourth of the Testimonials in our possession, as
to the virtue of these Y'aluable Bitters, but we will on
ly sav that they are approved of by our best Physicians,
are doing much good in all parts of the country, and
earnestly entreat the afflicted to try them.
