j Little more than two months have passed, since
J Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated as President
of the Lnited States. In his Inaugural, he prom
ised to preserve the Union, and protect the public
property. And in order to make his promise more
empLatic and binding on him, he declared that he
had an oath legistered in Ileaven, that he would
protect the public property. Hoiv has he redeem-
e 1 his promise? 8'ince he recorded that oath not
0:ll J Slate after State has left the Union, but mil-
iionsot tfcj public property have been destroyed by
-'^ r - Lincoln s own agent*. It lias become the
principal employment ot those officers of the Army
and Navy, who still adhere to Mr. Lincoln, to burn
slid destroy all of the public property they can
lay their hands on. The scenes of destruction at
Harpers berry and Norfolk, were disgraceful to
the age and notion, and perpetrated near the Cap
i a, ‘d probably by Mr. Lincoln's own order.
J At the Capital, under the eyes of Lincoln, the vul
gar hordes of Northorn rowdies called volunteers,
l are quartered in the marble halls of the Capitol
and Treasury Department, and are defacing these
splendid buildings in a manner that would dis
grace Arabs or wild Indians of the prairies. No
thing like the conduct of Lincoln and liis inercen
anes, has ever before been enacted in a civilized
country. IfLincoln registered in Heaven an oath
to protect the public property, and preserve the
I nion, he is a perjured villain, for he has done
neither, bnt has b>*en greatly instrumental in de
stroying both. We fear that the administration
of Abraham Lincoln and his party, will bring a
stigma upon the American name, that years can
not efface. They have become a disgrace to the
age aud nation in which they live.
Who in Itrnrral Lcr?
Within a few weeks pa-t, honorable mention
has been made of Gen’l. Lee of Virginia, in con
nection with the defense of the Confederate
States. Our readers would, doubtless, be pleased
to know the history of a man, who, if this war is
protracted, will be the leader of our Annies.
Robert Edmund Lee, the present Major
General and Commander of the Virginia forces,
is Ihe son of Harry i-ee of the Revolution. lie
entered the Military Academy at West Point,
from Virginia, in the year I'dS. Graduating
with distinction at the head of his class in ldii'.l.
he was brevetted a second Lieutenant in the Corps
of Engineers, from which time to the present, be
has maintained his ascendancy iu the service.
Among the public duties assigned to him in his
career, in all of which he exhibited talents and
character of the highest order, are the following:
In le351ie was Astronomer for fixing the bound
ary between Ohio and Michigan ; A fir«t Lienten
ant in Sept. I8Jfi: Captain in July, 1S15: Chief
Engineer of Gen’l. Wool's Army iu the Mexican
War, ldlti: Brevet Major for battle of Cerro Gor
do, April 1''47 : Brevet Lieut Colonel for battle ot
Contreras and Churubusco, August l-HT ; Brevet
Colonel for battle of Chapnltepec, in which he
was severely wounded. Sept. Id47; Snperinten
tendant U. S. Military Academy at West Point,
1352: Lieut. Colonel of Cavalry, 1355.
It was General Lee who emphatically led Gen
Scott from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico. Ht-
was the General's right hand man, planning, de
vising, counselling. Laborious, patient, indefati
gable, always good-tempered and se!f-po*sessed.
General Lee won the admiration and esteem oi
the Army, and deservedly the reputation of bein
the first military mind in it, not excepting hi*
great Commander, Scott. He is now ac-knowl
edged as the master military mind of this conti
uent, and under his guidance our Armies will
march with confidence to victory. We see that
the Congress at Montgomery are engaged with
the proposition of creating the office of General to
command all of the Troops of the Confederate
States. This office is no doubt created with thi
view to General Lee’s appointment to it. Wt
commend its wisdom.
The above facts were kindly furnished us by
Adjutant General Wayne.
Itloveiurnt of Troop*.
It has been suggested, and wisely too, by tin
Richmond Whig, that the newspapers in the South,
should omit ail mention of the movement of troops
in our borders. We trust the suggestion will bt
acted on Oy our papers. Let us not keep the en
emy advised of our movements. We have a good
man, a wise statesman, and a military genius,
directing our military, in whom all have confi
dence. Let us trust to him, and keep our secrets
to ourselves.
illnr} laaifl.
We sympathise with the trying position in
which our little sister is placed. There are plenty
of true men in her borders—biave hearts who
leap to be with us. Her time is not yet. The
following from the Lynchburg Virginian speaks
the truth :
THE POSITION OF MARYLAND.
We fear that this gallant little State is in th<
coils of the serpent: from which, she cannot at
present extricate herself. Let no one judge hei
harshly. Her position is peculiarly trying. Hu
sympathies are unquestionably with the South in
this momentous struggle, and.tif she shall not be
able at once to take her stand with us, she may be
of great service. Her people can aid us, and
many of them will fight in our armies. Let ii
once be determined that the State, through ^ ree
of circumstances remains with Lincoln, and
thousands of her patriotic people will rally to our
standard—furnish men and money for our cause
The interests of Baltimore are with the South—
with Virginia especially. We command the en
trance to the Chesapeake. Three hundred miles
cf her great feeder, the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, lie in our territory, and she knows that thi?
great w ork could be made to debouch at Harper’s
Ferry in the direction of our Virgiuiacities The Olo
Dominion is the best customer she has. The north
west, the valley aud tide water region, are all trib
at.ary to her vast commerce. Let these and tin
trade of the South generally be withdrawn, as
they would he in one contingency, and Baltimori
be compelled to compete with New lurk and
Philadelphia for Northern trade, and she will soon
be a second Palmyra. The Baltimoreans kuow
this, but they must he withdiawn from the read,
of the guns of Fort McHenry, which are now
leveled upon their beautiful city—which would be
swept with the besom of destruction—before the>
can do more. Let us not estrange the gallant
Marylanders They are our brethren.
Our ^In*tcr»— to be.
If the papers in New York city, edited by Ben
nett, Greeley, Raymond, and mahogany stock
Webb, tell the truth, then are all of ns to have
masters in a very short time. Our negroes are to
be set free to live among ns as equals; our lands
are to be divided out among the outpourings oi
the jails and penitentiaries of the North, and s
thousand other horrid punishments are in store for
U'. Well, we are people unuse d to such treatment
and it would go hard with us for a while to sub
mit. We are a strange people in some respects
We are right hard to whip, when we see our little
ones and their mothers clinging about us crying
for help to save them from brutal hands. When
we fight under such circumstances, we do fight
sure enough. Before Abraham gets us in his
bosom, lie will have to kill the last white man
that treads our soil, and then he will have to kill
the niggers, for they will fight for their masters
aud nistresses with all the zeal of the white man.
and when this work is all finished, our women will
fight them to the last ditch. Such a people may
be whipped—may he subjugated—may be made
slaves of, but no man now alive will see the .day
that jriugs all this.
Gnat Excilrmenl—Tkrratru'il Arrest of
t'. M. Officer*.
Ti e new s of theanest of a citizen of Savon
nah ii Philadelphia, on a charge of high treason,
which reached here Saturday, created no little
commotion. The matter was much talked of on
the streets, and much indignation was very
naturally expressed. Towards night the excite
ment increased to the culminating point, and a
very- general desire wan manifested to retaliate in
some way, should an opportunity offer. It having
been ascertained that two gentlemen, who came
by the Florida boat, had registered their names
at the Pulaski House as officers of the V■ S
Army, the exasperated crowd soon collected in
and around the establishment, resolved to capture
and retain them as hostages until our own citizen
should be set at liberty. The Mayor, hearing of
the movement, and apprehending some tiouble,
immediately repaired to the hotel and had an in
terview with the strangers in a private parlor.
He soon reappeared and addressing the ex
cited crowd, stated the two gentlemen, whose
names are Samuel F. Mills and C. Hook, both
Lieutenants, were in extreme bad health, had been
spending the winter in Florida, with the hope of
bettering their condition, and, as confirmed in
valids, were now returning to their homes and
friends ; it was, therefore, due to Southern hospi
tality as well as humanity, that their persons be
held sacred, and that they be allowed to remain
unmolested and depart at their pleasure.
The crowd was perfectly satisfied with the
statement, and immediately retired without fhe
slightest disorder-

Our attention having been called to communi
cations and editorial remarks iu the columns of
the Columbus Sun, and the Enquirer, which do
Gov. Brown great injustice, we have euquired
into the facts connected with the tender and the
acceptance of the services of the Guaids, and the
facts in connection with the organization of the
Regiment of Volunteers now in service at Sa
vannah, and are authorized by the Governor to
say that the following is a correct statement of
the whole matter;
The statute of this State fixes the rank and file
of a Volunteer Corps of infantry, for service, at
not legs than fifty, nor more than eighty men.
The Convention of the people of this State
recognized this rule, by directing that a Company
in the Regiments of the Georgia army, should
consist of alike number. This, then, seemed to
be the settled policy of the State. Acting upon
this rule, the Adjutant General of this State, by
direction of the Governor, limited a Company, in
express terms, by general order No. 5, to a num
ber not less than fifty, nor more than eighty
rank and file. It was under this order that the
Guards reported for service. The list of the
Company filed in the Executive office by Lieut.
Ellis, now Capt. Ellis, contained only seventy (70)
names, rank and file. When Lieut. Ellis filed the
list and made the tender, he told the Governor
that the list did not contain the names of all the
Company : and asked him if he would not receive
more than eighty men. The Governor replied
distinctly that he would not. lie asked if he
would be permitted to divide his Company, and
go into service as two Companies, saying he
could soon recruit enough to make two full Com
panies. To this proposition the Governor replied,
distinctly, in the negative : telling him that this
would be doing injustice to other Companies in Co
lumbus who were anxious also for service. The
Governor then begged him to press neither propo
sition ; and said to him, distinctly, that he would
be obliged to reject the tender of the Guards al
together, if they insisted on a violation of the
statute, as the law limited a Company to eighty
rank and file; and that.it his Company weie ac
cepted, it must be with the express order that it
should not exceed that number. Under this order
Lieut. Ellis tendered the Company aud the Gov
ernor accepted it.
After Lieut. Ellis had returned to Columbus.
inr it ore: It.,, —1 11. U. J. o._.. 1... a,

Gar. Broicn :

remaining sixty urge you to accept them. You
must do it.
M. J. CRAWFORD.
To which Gov. Brown replied:
Milledueville, April 15th, 1861.
I can accept hut eighty rank aud file, so told
Lieut. Ellis.
JOSEPH E. BROWN.
Hon. M. J. Crawford, Columbus.
The next the Governor heard of the Company,
in violation of express orders, it was on its way
to Savannah with over one hundred men. When
he heard this, he immediately telegraphed to the
Adjutant General, then in Savannah, to inform
General Lawton of this fact; and to say to him,
distinctly, that the Company was not tendered for
service unless it obeyed orders, and reduced its
rank and tile to eighty men.
While we presume that the facts here stated
will not be satisfactory to newspaper correspon
dents whose business it is to find fault, (a thing
very easily done,) we are willing to have all mili
tary men, and all unprejudiced persons, decide
w hether a military Company has a just right to
complain when it is required to obey a legal order,
of which it is notified before entering the service
But it is said, on the authority of the Macon
Citizen, that the Governor's Guards had been
granted the pnritege to increase their Company to
oue hundred men, aud why not give the Columbus
Guards the same privilege ? To this we have
only to reply th»t we are authorized to state dis
tinctly, that no such privilege or authority has
been given by Gov. Brown, or by his order, to the
Governor's Gnaids, or to any other Company iu
Georgia. The litter Company was accepted by
the Governor, tiuder an express order that it
should not exceel eighty men, rank aud tile. If
it has left the St&e with a larger number, it did
so in violation of orders.
fi
Again, it is said that Capt. Colquitt carried with
him over one humked men. If so, we are author
ized to state the Gbveruor had no kuowiedge of
the fact. His Conpany was called into the field
under a sudden requisition from the Secretary of
War, and upon verf short notice. They respond
ed gallantly. Tiny did not rendezvous in the
State; and the Governor never heard the report
that the Company tousisted of over eighty, till
they had reached Vrginia : when, it is said, some
followed and joined the Company after it had
gone beyond the baits of the State and had en
tered the service of the Confederate States. The
tender of the Company filed in the Executive
office, aud accepted by Gov. Brown, has only
sixty-seven names, rank and file. Gov. Brown
has distinctly notified the Secretary of War, of
the number which «onstitutes a legal Company

It could not, therefore, reach Savannah as soon as
the Guards did ; while it had the same right to
participate in the organization of the Regiment
The Governor consented that General Lawton
should take the command of the troops without
Regimental organization, till all the Companies
arrived. He did not even know who would be
candidates for the field officers of the Regiment
He neither wrote a letter nor expressed a prefer
euce to a living person, upon the subject. He
probably heard some one say that General
Semmes, who is supposed to be the gentleman
alluded to as the favorite of the Guards, (and very
justly so,) would be a candidate for Colonel. We
presume he is the gentleman against whom the
Governor is accused of attempting to exercise
influence. The Public can judge of the sincerity
of this charge, when it is remembered that Gov.
Brown, having the whole State to select from, but a
short time since, appointed General Semmes a Brig
adier General of the volunteer forces of the State,
under the Act of the last Legislature ; whicli fact
must have been known to the writer when he
made the charge above referred to If the Gov
ernor's appreciation of Gen. Semmes' ability, and
his kind personal feelings, induced him to select
General Semmes, over all other persons, to com
mand a Brigade, with how much candor can it be
charged that he would interfere in a Regimental
election against him, to prevent him from obtain
ing the command of a Regiment!
But we have already made this article much
longer than we had intended. The assaults made
upon Gov. Brown have been so unjust that we
felt it our duty to him aud the public, to make
the above authorized statement. We think
it but justice to Gov. Brown that such editors as
have published the assaults, will also publish this
statement of facts.

editors doff’ the Ass's skin, and put the Lion's on
their recreant limbs? If these three editors will
go into the army, and fight for Lincoln, we will
promise to protect them from the rage of our
women and children. We can’t promise to pro
tect them from the rage of our negroes.
Our Fhy.*irinii*.
We owe an apology to a portion, if not to all
of them. We understand several had already
tendered their services free of charge, to the fam
ilies of the absent soldiers, when our article
advising them to do so was written.
I!Ioo<!. blood, i* iIm* cry!
The Abolition hounds of Lincoln cry blood,
blood! Nothing will appease their thirst but the
blood of Southern men. women, and children.
Let us give them blood for blood. Let us not be
content with killing the apes and savages that
fill the army of Lincoln. Let us carry the war
into tho heart of the North, and give the coward
souls in the back country a taste of the bayonet
and bowie-knife. If blood is what they crave
let us feast them on the fluid until they cry hold,
enough !
IYIit don’t they piiblixh it ?
We have looked, but looked in vain to see the
Message of President Davis, published in some
of the Northern Newspapers. Why is this ? Are
they afraid to let their readers know the truth
They have told their readers a malicious falsehood.
They have told them that the South was making
war upon the North. The Message of President
Davis exposes this wicked lie, and the Abolition
press at the North dare not let their readers know
how they have been imposed upon. Bnt where
are the conservative Journals, and what has be
come of the boasted independent press of the
North? All dumb as oysters, all silenced by the
black Abolition despotism which now reigns at
the North. The Message of President Davis is
conservative and respectful, and it is as important
that the Northern people should read it, as any
human production that ever was written, and if
there are any Newspapers at the North that have
not been muzzled by Abolition tyranny, we call
upon them to publish it. If they dare not do it, let
them remain silent, and by their silence admit to
the world, that they are cowed and silenced by a
military despotism, and that their boasted free
dom of speech and the freedom of the press is a
cheat and a humbug which knaves make use of
to deceive fools.

Mr. Greiner was one of the soldiers in Savan
nah who, under the order of the Governor, occu
pied Fort Pulaski in January last. He lately visit
ed Philadelphia to see some of his sick relatives,
and was there arrested under charge of treason
against the Government of the United States for
having discharged his duty under the order of
Gov. Brown iu assisting to take possession of the
Fort. He has just been discharged from arrest
on giving bond for ten thousand dollars for his
good behavior, Ac.
We speak by authority when we say that the
Governor of this State has watched with close
attention the progress of this case. The bond he
will consider a nullity, aud if the authorities in
Pennsylvania attempt to enforce collection upon
it, Gov. Brown will seize property belonging to,
or debts due any of the citizens of, Pennsylvania,
in this State : aud if Iris officer has, at Augusta or i an( j convert the same iuto money and pay to Mr.
elsewhere, received and mastered iu a larger
number, iu a Company, it was done without the
Governor’s knowledp; or consent, and in violation
of his express order When a Company, Bat
talion, or Regiment, * tendered to the Confede
rate States, it is tendired under the State organi
zation ; and that Govarnuient has no Tight to insist
on changing the Stat: organizations ; but must
accept the troops, if it all, as organized by the
laws of the State. Wien they are mustered into
the service, it becomes the duty of that Govern
ment to equip, feed, anl clothe the troops, while
in its service; and the State authorities lose all
command and control ot them, for the term for
which they are receive! into the service of the
Confederate States -
It has been made father cause of complaint,
that the Guards are placed on Tybee Island, where
they have not an immediate prospect of meeting
the enemy.
It is only necessary t! state here, that Lieut.
Ellis was in Milledgeville when the requisition
from the Secretary of War was received for a
Regiment for Savannah, aid was informed when
the Company waa accepted, that it would be
ordered immediately to Sarannah, in obedience to
the reqeiaition of the Secretary of War ; and be
made no objection. The Governor lias ordered no
Greiner, or his securities all sums extorted from
them on the bond with all costs and damages
which they may incur; and in the event Mr. Grei
ner, or any other citizen of Georgia, is imprison
ed in Pennsylvania, or any other Northern State,
for having obeyed his orders iu the matter of Fort
Pulaski, or auy other military order given by him,
he wiil, if to be found within the limits oi this
State, or elsewhere within his reach, arrest and
imprison two of the citizens of such State for ev
ery Georgian so confined, till he is discharged.
And iu the event Pennsylvania, or any other hos
tile State shall take the life of any citizen of
Georgia iu any such case or upon any such pre
text, Governor Brown will order the seizure and
prompt execution of two citizens of such State
tofpay the penalty, Upon this the authorities ot
such hostile State may tely with implicit confidence.

Friday for Augusta, having been iu camp since
Monday. Nothing was neglected that could con
duce to their comfort and happiness during their
brief sojourn iu our village. Although in daily
expectation of marching orders, when the
Wednesday's train ushered them in, they found
the Company unprepared, trom the fact that the
accessions were so rapid the uniforms could uot
be completed. As soon, however, as this was
known, the ladies volunteered at masse to assist
in sowing. And if "old Abe" had heard us talk,
he would have thought us anything but scared
(I understand he thinks the women at the South
are frightened to death, as if a Southern woman
could be made afraid!)
I can scarcely realize the fact, but it is so—in
the proud straggle for our rights, I have a repre
sentative in the person of my big boy, as I am
wont to call him. At the first threat of "old
Abe” and his minions, his youthful spirit took
fire, and impatiently has he waited the call for the
Company of which he was a meuibei. And now
he is gone, perhaps never to return—but if it is
the will of my Heavenly Fattier that he should fill
a soldier's grave, no murmur shall estape my lips.
The blood of '76 flows freely iu my veins—both

hitherto untarnished name shall be preserved
pure, to band down to my posterity, as long as
life enough is left in me to raise my baud and
exhort my sons to fight in defence of their rights

Each member of the Company was also presented
with a bible by the ladies The flag presentation
took place in the Church grove, before a largi
concourse. The exercises at the Church aud
grove were the most solemn and impressive 1 ever
saw, but the scene at the cars the next morning
beggars all description. Tl e Company was
drawn up before the platform at the depot, and li.
A. Davis, Esq., tendered to them the farewell of
the community. The first whistle, then blew,
and then followed a scene that no pen can
describe. Friends pressed around to grasp the
hands of the lion-hearted soldiers who were so
gallantly going forth to maintain their rights;
wives received the parting embrace of their hus-
bauds; mothers and sisters clung to the loved
ones, while scream after scream told in a fearful
mauner of the conflict that was going on within.
And among that valiant band stood nty own
brave boy! True bis lip quivered, and the tear
coursed down his cheek, but more manly forms
than his bowed beneath the surge of feeling that
swept over that vast throng! Seaiee eighteen
summers lias passed since his tiny form was laid
in my arms, and his infant wail called forth all
those tender emotions which lie concealed in a
young mother’s heart. Scarce eighteen summers
have passed since a proud father knelt beside his
first born son, and toying with his frail fingers
gave utterance to those aspirations in which a
fond parent alone can indulge. Alas! but a few
years were allowed that father to cherish the
young idol of his heart, when the grave claimed
him as its own ; and to other hands was commit-
te.d that sacred gift which none know so tenderly
how to handle, as those to whom it is first en
trusted ! For long years that widowed mother
looked forward to the time when her orphan boys
could claim for her those rights of which a woman
is often deprived by the death of her husband.
But just as the oldest bad assumed a manly form,
and that mother has just began to lean on him
for support, his country demanded his help, and
freely was the claim surrendered.
I am no stoic, for my heart, was bursting at the
soul-sickening scene around me, but no tear es
caped my eye, as I stood by my brave son and
encouraged and exhorted him to be a brave sol
dier and a good boy. 1 determined no show of
weakness on my part should unman him for the
great coutest in which he was about to enter.
And if ever there was a proud moment of my
life, it was when lie bewed his head to my in
junctions, as the train movtd off, with the (lag ot
onr Confederacy proudly floating iu the breeze '
"Good bye, please don't come home without bring
ing father and mother old Abe’3 scalp,” burst from
some one who stood near me. But “old Abe”
will not give any one a chance to scalp him, tbo’
old Scott will, and I think bis scalp wifi hn a
greater prize than ‘old Abe’s,”
Do not suppose we areglcomy or low-spirited
in this section. The parting with our friends
was a sad one, but the hope that they will return,
flushed with victory, dispels the gloom that might
otherwise overshadow us. And rest assured that
if unflinching firmness on the part of women,
united with untiring effort, can be of any avail
in the mighty struggle for liberty, you shall have
it. m One who was a Secessionist

FOR THE WAIL
The propriety of this change no one can doubt
who will reflect upon it. The Lincoln govern
ment has fixed their term of service for three yctirs,
while ours, continued at one, would leave us, at
the expiration of that time, to fight experienced
and disciplined troops with raw levies, to say
nothing of the great peril the country would be
exposed to with an army in a state of disintegra
tion in the midst of the war. The campaigns ot
Jackson, and most of the Indian campaigns,
were more embarrassed by slioit terms of service
than by the enemy. Give us Southern veterans,
aud they will prove themselves the best troops the
world ever saw.
It is obvious the Lincoln government contem
plate a long war and a death struggle. We are quite
confident their plans will meet with sudden and
unexpected interruption, before a twelve month
has passed ; but every dictate of prudence and
self-preservation impels our government to act on
the hypothesis that the war is to be a protracted
and exhausting struggle. If so, we can only say
we have confidence in Southern strength, valor,
and patriotism—and predict that the South will
come out of the fight in better condition every
way than their invaders. Mark the prophecy and
see if it don't turn out true.— Telegraph.

1 PROCLAMATION.
By JOSEPH E. BROIFN,
Governor of Georgia.
TirHEREAS, by the oppressive and wicked
*1 conduct of the government and people of
that part of the late United States of America
known as the anti-alavery States, war actually
exists between them and tho 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 Southern States, nod 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
iu owners: and whereas, all contracts made with
the enemy during the existence of hostilities,are,
by tho law of nations, illegal aud void, and all
remedies for the enforcement of contracts, in onr
Courts, between citizens of this State and citizens
of the States now making war npon 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 et emy’s
country or the remission and deposit of fnnds
there, is a dangerous and illegal act, because it
may be cherishing the resources and relieving the
wants of the enemy; and the remission cf 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 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 the gov
ernment or people of the States which have
waged and are maintaining a most unatural and
wicked war against us; and whereas, justice re
quire* that all sums due from citizens of this State
to individuals in such hostile States who do not
uphold and sustain the savage and crnel 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 Comniander-in-
Chief of the army and navy cf 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 any one 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, and 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 pay the amount of such indebted
ness, whenever due. into the Treasury of Georgia,
in any funds bankable in Augusta or Savannah,
or to deposit the same subject to the order of the
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 upon presentation of any such cer
tificate of deposit, the Treasurer of this State is
hereby directed and reqnired 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 such
depositor in fnnds bankable in Augusta and
Savamiah, with seven per cent interest from the
date of the deposit, so soon as hostilities shaft 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 onr citizens as owe money to Northern
creditors, which international law aud 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 fnnds necessary to the
successful defence of our homes, our firesides, and
onr altars.
And I do further command and strictly enjoin
npon 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
stain from protesting any such draft, bill, note,
or other p.-.per: Provided, the person liable on
such bill, draft, note, or other paper, will exhibit
to such Bank or any of ite agencies, having such
paper in possession, a certificate, showing that
he has deposited the amount due ou such paper,
in 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
and require all Notarys Public in this State, to
abstain absolutely from the performance of any
official act for the protest of any paper of the
character above mentioned, under such circum
stances as are hereinbefore specified.
Given under my hand and the Great Seal
of this State, at the Capitol in Mil
ledgeville, this twenty-sixth day of
April, in the year ot onr Lord eighteen
