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- ■Such are the facts, though we have no doubt if troops to Tybee.

These soldiers are composed of the scum and otfsconritg of hu manity.

Is not this a glorious Union, and shall we not always remember those dear brethren at the North who promise to do so much for us ? We certainly never shall forget them, and if any of these interesting volunteers shall put their feet upon Southern soil, we will give them such a warm reception, that they will never return. •>'». Ilrown mid the Foluiiittn* (-uniul*. uml oilier \ otuuleer I (,iii|iuiiii-*. 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, the following telegram : Columbus, 15th April, 1661. Gar. Broicn : Guards number hundred and twenty men, the 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 Companies composing it, could reach Savannah. ducements to remain in the Union with them They propose in the first place to hang everv one I lr ^. m lne . . , , , ii,,,. . , • State.

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. For the Soutliern Federal Union. Putnam Co..

Some of the Northern papers persist in'impress- ing their readers with the idea that tho Southern States will yield before the superior forces and prowess of the armies of the North. One thing is certain: somebody will be de ceived when the Soutliern States are invaded. If Greely aud Raymond and Webb are determined that the North shall be deceived, ive are willing.

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.

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.

Hardeman elected Major.—A special despatch to the -‘Citizen" reports that Capt. T. Hardeman was elected Major of the Georgia Battalion at Norfolk yesterday by a majority of seventy-nine votes over Capt. R. A Smith. 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 uiy grandfathers having served in the Revolution —an J ii" my country demands the sacr.fice of both my sons, she shall have it. Thank God 1 no tory blood pollutes tny veins, and by His help, the 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 TUo attainoon bctorc the Company left Ivitoil- ton, the Rev. Mr. Wynn delivered a beautitul ad dress. from the words “Fear not. for they that be for us are mightier than they who are against ns,” and J. A. Turner, Esq , presented a tlag in behali of the ladies. Lieutenant Turner responding 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 FROM THE FIRST.

Private Williamson w r as anxious to accompany the Blues to the field, and participate xvith them in all the privations and glory of the service.

By reference to General Wayne’s order, among our advertisements, it will be seen that no more Volunteers for onr. year, will be accepted by the Confederate States. The tender of service is 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.

SAMUEL R. METHVIN, Adm’r. May 6th, 1861. 51 6t. 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 hundred and sixty-one, and of the independence of the Confederate States of America the first.
