The Tory press at the North is boasting that,
Maryland is subdued. Maryland is conquered,
Union is rampant in Maryland ! But how has all
this been brought about? By brute force, by
a foreign invasion, by an inroad of the Goths and
Vandals. The Legislature of the once free State
ot Maryland, lias been driven from its ancient
Capital by a Massachusetts army, and her legis
lators threathened that if they did not legislate to
suit Gen. Butler, he would disperse or bang them.
Hear this, all of ye Union men at tbe South : if
you do not legislate to suit the Abolitionists of
Massachusetts, you are to be imprisoned and
hanged as traitors. This is what is called liberty
at the North, this is what is in store for Maryland,
and this is-what will be offered to Kentucky and
Missouri, if they hesitate to join the South. This
is what Maryland lias got by waiting; she is sub
dued by the moral snasion of 75,000 bayonets
These cowardly miscreants have not dared to set
their foot upon the soil of a single State that has
seceded. We have set all of their threats at defi
ance : we bid them come at their peril. We de
spise alike tlie tyrant whom they serve, and the
cowards who are mean enough to do liis bid-
ding.

Ttie following are clipped from Kditoral articles
in that sterling and true paper the New York
Day Book. The fear of tlie vicious mob cannot
drive him from tlie path of duly, or close liis
mouth against the iniquitous War now bfdng
waged against the South :
“Let us not fool ourselves with tlie idea that
the South cannot obtain alt the money she will
find necessary tor her purposes. It is an ill thing
for us to do, and speaks not much for our sagaci
ty, to say that those States which have always
furnished more than two thirds ot all the export
wealth of the whole United States, are unable to
procure means. And it is equally ridiculous for
us to pretend that the South cannot put a fortni-
dablearmy, ot at least uUD.ODUO men, in tbe fieid.
A population of 8.000,000 cf the character of the
Southern States, will find it, when the great pinch
comes, uo impossible task to raise quite as effi
cient an "army as can be raised out of 18,000,000
like our northern population. Let ns not be de
ceived by tbe readiness with which wo can raise
200,000 men. With us, it is mostly the floating,
loose population which enlists. Our Fifth avenue
Dons do not enlist. They will not Neither
will their sons, to any extent. Our men of wealth
aud business, with the fewest exceptions, will not
go to tlie war. Tlie men who go about our streets
pumping up the war excitement, have no idea oi
patting up tilt ir own bodies to be shot at. Let
us tell the truth.”
“The great Virginians of the Revolution are
well represented in the southern army at the pres
ent time. John A Washington, tlie only living
representative of the Farther of liis Country, is
an aid to General Robert E. I ee, who is himself
the son of the famous “Light Horse Harry” of the
war of independence: a grandson of Patrick
Henry is a Captain in the Virginia forces ; tlie
great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson commands
the Howitzer Battery at Richmond ; there are
many descendants of Chief Justice Marshall in
the ranks and in command. In this connection
the curious fact may be mentioned, that while the
son of Daniel .Webster commands a regiment of
Massachusetts volunteers, the sons of Henry
Clay and John C. Calhoun are in commands in
the southern forces. - '

There has been considerable glorification in
Northern newspapers over a brigade of Kentuck

this connection much praise was bestowed upon
the bravery and skill of the Kentucky Riflemen.

rnre in Krw York.
About the middle of April the city of New York
appeared to be afflicted with a sort of military
delirium tremens. Suddenly tlie drum beat to
quarters, and the whole city became one military
encampment. Whigs, Democrats, and Black
Republicans seemed possessed by tbe demon of
destruction. Every body was anxious to destroy
the cities, burn the towns, marder the inhabitants,
and ruin and utterly destroy the entire South.
Neither age nor sex nor condition was to be any
protection, all, all, were to be utterly destroyed,
and wiped out of existence, unless we would
bumble ourselves before the great Rail Splitter in
Washington, and consent to pay tribute to the
North. These were hard conditions, and we were
given only twenty days to deliberate, which to
choose, slavery or death. Well, the time passed,
and we concluded to take neither, and what will
New York do about it? Tbe troops sent to sub
due us, have been successful in their attacks upon
pig pens and hen roosts, in Maryland, anti some of
them have frightened the women and children in
Washington city, but not one of them have dared
to put bis foot upon tbe soil of the seceded States.
They boast of defending tlie capital against an im
aginary foe ! This first great movement attlie

Thr Troup Artillery.
This Company have been accepted by the Gov

The ranks of the Company are not as full as they
should be. There are about 54 names on the
roll. About 15 more are needed. Will not our
young men’in the conntry come forward and help
the great cause in which we are now engaged ?
Everything that is dear to them is at stake: home-
parents. sisters, friends, property, all call upon
them to rally to the standard of their country.
Tbe Troup Artillery go as Infantry, and all are
provided with uniforms who enlist. We hope the
Company will not have to leave without 70 or
75 men

Those of our people who are compelled to stay

thicket and hiding place; and we can decimate
an army of the greatest number the enemy can
march into our territory.

I request the Justices of the Inferior Court of
each county or any two or more of them to act as
agents for this purpose, and to appoint such per
sons in the different Militia Districts ns they may
think proper to assist them. I suggest that books
of subscription be opened in each county on the
a dirty abolition sheet from Indiana. These are
the men that are reported to be raising a Ken
tucky Brigade for Lincoln, and this is the boasted
Kentucky brigade of which Maj. Anderson is to
be the commander.

I have requested our able and faithful Comp
par. In this state of the case Gov. Brown is of | troller General to make out from tbo tax books
opinion that tlie State ought to pay seven percent
and lie lias agreed in consideration that the loan
bo taken at pur that lie will recommend the next
legislature to change the rate of interest on those
bonds and pay seven per cent., the State reserving
the light to redeem the bonds at her option at any
tune after five years. This recommendation the
Legislature will, no doubt, carry out promptly
Tlie Confederate States Government now pays
eight percent, with a mortgage upon the whole
cotton crop of the South for the security of the
debt. It is but just then that tlie State pay seven
per cent.
The action of the Banks in this prompt response
to the call of the Governor for funds to be used
in tlie defence of the State, and in assisting the
Confederate Government by preparing troops for
the field,-cannot be too highly commended. It is
alike patriotic and honorable, and reflects the
highest credit on all concerned We presume tbe
Banks of Macon, Atlanta, Rome and other inland
cities and towns will not long remain behind
• hose above mentioned, but will conu: up promptly
and do their part.
We have already recorded the patriotic course
.of the Central Railroad arid Banking Co., through
its high-toned President, R. R. Cuyler in taking
one hundred thousand dollars of those bonds in
advance of all others.

stated Gov. Brown's fixed determination to re

ders, again brings down tbe Republican upon the
Governor. No changes of times or circumstances
can it seems ever change the Editor s disposition
to attack him. He reminds Gov. Brown that there
is such a person and official as Jefferson Davis.

We would remind the Editor in turn that there
is such a State as Georgia, and such a person and

of her citizens at all hazzards, without regard to

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
Milleugeville, May 17, 1861.
To Ihe People of Georgia:
By tbeir wicked aud unprovoked aggressions
upon our rights, our Northern neighbors have driv
en us out ot the Union established by our fathers,
and are now waging an unjust and unholy war up
on us, ami attempting to overthrow the Govern
ment ot equality established by us for our own
protection. They are collecting a large military
lorce upon our borders. They threaten to invade
our territory with large armies; to sweep over it
with fire aud sword; to incite our slaves to insur
rection ami murder: to violate the sanctity of our
homes, and to inflict the most cruel and outrageous
wiongs upon our wives and daughters. They ap
peal to the very basest passions of the human
heart for tlie purpose of exciting their soldiers,
and preparing them for the execution of their dia
bolical plans 4f rapine and plunder. They prom
ise to apportion our lands and divide our substance
among their base mercenaries, as a reward for our
extermination end butchery. In some ot their
largest cities, ‘beauty and booty” are made the
rallying cry to induce the lowest rabble to enlist
against us.
In aid of the Gnvernment of Mr. Lincoln, now a
military despotism, disregarding all Constitutional
guarantees and iestrictious, whiie engaged in an
unholy crusade a^ninst us, the people of the North
are making large contributions from their private
funds to equip and support troops in the field to
tight against the 8outh.
t he Government of the Confederate Stales,
which is the Governnent of our own choice, and
is entitled to the fuil-st confidence and most cor
dial support of every true Southern heart, has call
ed tor troops to meet these wicked invaders in the
field of battle and to trive them back.
Georgians have retponded nobly to tbe call.
Thousands have already l.-tt thoii- homes, th. ir
friends, their wives, thee children, and till else that
was dear to them on eargi, andaro now in tbe field
submitting tu all tbe pnvations of camp life aud
enduring all tlie hardship and fatigues of war for
the defence ol our gloriotfe common cause. Thou
sands more ol our feilowicitizens must soon fol
low.
While our gallaut solders have our warmest
sympathies and our most fervent prayers, shall
they nut also have our material aid. and shall we
not sec tu it that all the actual w ants of themselves
ami their families are suppiitJ
The Government of the Boifcderate States liav-
iug been hilt recently organiied, and having to
encounter an expensive war du$ug the first months
of its existence, cannot be eipected to supply
promptly all things necessary' to the comfort of
large armies in the fieid.
The people of Georgia pay le* tax in proportion
to tlie value ot their property Ann the people of
any other State in either Gonft d*acy. The aggre
gate value of our private propelty is nearly eight
hundred millions ol dollars. \\U could contribute
ten millions of this to tbe suppiit of our soldiers as
free-will offering and feel none .lie poorer.
Let us not then subject ouist'ves to heavy taxa
tion, or our posterity to heavy d-bt, but let us show
to the world that we are fully enlisted in the no
ble cause of freedom, and that ve have the ability
and tlie will, by private subscri|tion. to clothea%d
teed our glorious and gallant roops in the field
and tbeir families, at home, whie they are defend
ing our wives, our children, our homes aud our al
tars.
People of Georgia, as your Exicutive, I appeal
not to your legislators to tax you but I appeal to
your patriotism aud your well ktown liberality in
behalf of tlie soldier and the solder’s family. The
soldiers must have clothing. Myappeal is first to
to the ladies, whose ferveDt patlotism. burning
zeal, and energetic action in ourgorious straggle,
rekindle in our minds the memorifs of theimmot-
tal women of the Revolution ol 1776, and con
vince us that while their daugliterthave improved
upon their intelligence and rt-finaient, and have
more pecuniary ability to act. tb* have abated
nothing of their patriotism and tltir devotion to
the cause of freedom. 1 know thkefore that my
appeal to tbe women of Georgia wfl meet a hearty
and cordial response.
I request that each lady in Georga prepare at as
early a day as she conveniently cat, such contii-
bution of soldier’s clothing as she may desire to
make, out of such material and otsuch color as
she may be able to command—anytind of home
made cloth will be acceptable—and that each one
deposit her contribution with the Clek of the 8u-
mid publish a statement of the amount which
would be tbe just proportion of each county,
should each determine to contribute its part of the
one million dollars proposed to be raised. The
Treasurer of this State, ou being informed by tbe
Justices of the Inferior Court of the amount of the
donation of the county, will direct tlie manner of
its transmission to th- treasury, and will receipt
Tor the amount. The Justices in each county are
respectfully requested, so soon as tlie books of
contribution are closed, fo transmit them to tlie
Executive Office that they may be preserved
among tbe permanent records of the State.
As the Executive of tne State, I will present a
beautiful flag of the Confederate States to the
county making the largest donation in proportion
to the value of its taxable property.
To the gentleman making the largest donation
before the first day of August next, I will present
a golden medal with appropriate inscriptions, and
will enroll his name w ith a statement of the cause
of its enrollment upon a blank leaf in the Book of
Executive Minutes. I will also enroll in like
manner the names of the nine gentlemen making
the next largest donations in the order in which
they are entitled by the amount ot their contribu
tions.
Another suggestion,and I have done. Our ene
mies are blockading our ports and cutting off our
supplies from abroad. A kind Providence has
blessed us with the means of making within our
own limits almost every thing necessary to our
support and comfort, and with a monopoly of the
great staple which the world cannot do without.
It is said our enemies exempt cotton front block-
adge. Why ? Because they cannot do without it.
I appeal to our planters, therefore, to refuse to ship
a bag while the blackade lasts. This will soon re
move the blockade from our ports, and the increase
of price will amply reward you for the loss you
may sustain while you keep your cotton on hand
I trust our people will hold public meetings and
petition tlie Government at Montgomery to lay an
absolute embargo uphn cotton, permitting not one
bag to pass out of the Confederate States while
the blockade is maintained. I appeal to ottr cap-
itali-ts to go to work vigorously and prepare to
manufacture such articles as we most need. I also
appeal to onr plauters to redouble tbeir energies
for the production of all the supplies of provisions
necessary to support onr people nt home and our
armies in the field The prospect is most flattering
for an abundant wheat harvest.. Let each planter
so soon as liis wheat is cut, break and plant a few
acres of bis best wheat land in an oarlv kiiuinf
corn. This would add hundred* ot thousands of
l i i. u-- ftrr each also plant a laige
crop of peas and turnips, aud look diligeulty to the
culture of every thing that will sustain the life of
man or beast, that we may be entirely independent
of all supplies from abroad. Finally, I appeal to
all—ladies and gentlemen—to practice strict econ
omy: dispense with every unnecessary luxury
and devote all to our country til! the battle is won
and our independence acknowledged by all the
civilized nations of the earth.
We hope for an ecrly peace; but, if we are dis
appointed, God has given us the pliy sical strength,
the mateiial resources, and the means of support,
which will, wvtli proper energy, enable us to live
and to defend ourselves upon our own soil for the
next twenty years to come. Fraying His divine
protection, let us bumb e ourselves in His pres-
-nee, implore His aid in our struggle, and with a
firm reliance in Ihe justice of our cause, let us re
solve to achieve our independence or suffer exter
mination in the patriotic effort.
I am, very respectfully, your fellow-citizen.

As tbe Confederate Government does not, at pres
ent, furnish clotliiug in kind, to tlie Volunteers culled
into its service, but a commutation therefor in money,
evory Volunteer ought, \yiien mustered in, for liiR own
comfort and health, to be sufficiently provided with
articles of uniform and dress to meet his immediate
wants, and for the probable necessities of at least
three months.
11 is therefore recommended that each Volunteer
will, as far ns practicable, present himself at the
rendezvous, where he is to be transferred into tlie
service of the Confederacy, provided with the fol
lowing articles of uniform aud dress, viz:
1 Coat, or Jacket (as maybe the uniform.)
2 pr. Trousers.
1 Forage or Fatigue Cap.
2 Flannel Shirts.
2 pr’s. Drawers.
d “ Socks, Woolen or Cotton, Woolen best.
2 “ Bootees, Ankle or Jefferson, or Brogans with
full broad soles, and low flat brouii heels.
2 Colored pocket Hankerchiefs.
1 Light Black Neck Tie.
1 Comb.
1 strong Pocket Knile.
1 small Tin Cup.
1 Iron Spoon.
1 Knife, 1 Fork.

tery when exposed to damps, or on tlie first indication
of a change of habit.
lied for ffannel stiirts is to be avoided, as it presents
an excellent mark for the enemy. Grog or blue are
the better colors.
High or narrow heels to tlie boots or shoes should not
be worn, as they are injurious to tlie feet, liootees
are far preferable to boots of any’ kind ill summer.
Such articles ns are not worn or carried about the
person to be neatly packed in, or to be attached to the
knapsack or valise.
To facilitate arrangements for securing a regular
supply of Clothing from home it is recommended to
Companies to consider the advantag- of turning over
to the Captain, or other responsible agent, their com
mutation, ns paid, tube applied in such manner as
may have been determined upon
It is essential to the health of the soldier, whether in
barracks or in camp, that he be clean in person, regular
in habits, and physical exercised. The two first can
be attained by dividing each Company into four or
squads or messes, aud assigining to each a
subaltern, or non-commissioned Officer to supervise the

Grand Jury Presentments*
Adjourned Term. Ala y. 18(31.
W E the Grand Jury chosen aud sworn for the
May adjourned term have no special present-
/bents of a local character to make.
Owing to the stringency of the times we concur
fully with the Iuferiur Court in deciding not to
rebuild tlie Court House at present. Our citizens
may feel assured that their interests will suffer no
material detriment, by this decision, as in the in
tervening time, ample and convenient rooms for
the county offices and the sessions of the several
courts may be provided w ith but little difficulty
aud at merely a nominal cost, and the delay will
allow ample time to mature the plans, and provide
the ineaus. to meet this extraordinary expenditure
of money. We respectfully recommend to the
Inferior Court, that it, at its earliest convenience,
make arrangements for rooms as above intimated.
The Jail is reported to be in a safe, and cleanly
condition, needing uo repairs at present.
So tar as it has come to our knowledge, the
roads and bridges are generally in good condition.
We are gratified to leant, that iu many of the
Districts, a vigilant and active patio, has been or
ganized, in terms of tlie law, and that every effort
is being made to preserve the peace and quiet of
our population. In these times, it behooves every
good citizen to exert himself in preserving law
and order, aud we earnestly request the pioper of
ficers in the various Districts, which linve not yet
attended to the matter, to put in immediate com
mission, responsible and trustworthy persons, who
will police onr rural districts and the suburbs of our
towns and effectually guard against any and every
violation of the law, and bring to punishment all
such, if any there be, who would wickedly incite
any portion of our population lo any unlawful
acts.
The limited time of our session, has rendered it
impossible, tor us to exercise the usual vigilance in
ferretting out various violations ot law and order,
many of which have been brought to our notice,
in an informal manner. We earnestly hope that
all our citizens, impressed with the importance ot
maintaining the supremacy of the law, and of pro
moting the general good order of society, will ab
stain from every act that may savor of lawless
ness and immorality. To offenders we would say
in all candor, “cease to do evil and learn to do
well." The law is powerful to ponUL a>ul Future.
Grand Juries may', aud doubtless will, pursue in
vestigations which, from the shortness of the
time, we have but commenced.
We revert with pride to the gallant company
(Baldwin Blues) which has recently left our midst
turthe seat ot war, aud cannot too highly com
mend their patriotic efforts to d. feud our homes,
our firesides, and onr oft insulted honor. And in
this connection, we highly approve th® liberal
spirit with which our citizens responded to the
call for means to equip the company and to pro
vide for the maintenance and support of the fam
ilies ot those whose means were inadequate, du
ring their absence, to provide for their families
thus left destitute.
We hear with pleasure, that tlie Troup Artillery,
Captain Beck, have already, or will very soon
tender its services to the Confederate Army, du
ring the war; and that all our citizens may have
an opportunity to aid in the great cause of South
ern Independence, we respectfully recommend to
the Inferior Court to levy a tax of one tenth of
one pel cent, upon the taxable property of the
county; the same to be collected by the Tax Col
lector, when lie is collecting other taxes, and said
sum when collected, to constitute a military fund
to be used at the discretion of said Court, in equip
ping said Artillery, and such other company or
companies, from this county, which may enter the
service of the Confederate Army, and for the sup
port of tlie families of members of such compa
nies, who may need assistance The percent, re
commended above, will raise a fund of $5000—
and while we are measurably convinced, that the
Inferior Court has no power to enforce the collec
tion of this tax, we are fully persuaded, that no
considerable portion of our citizens are so w anting
in patriotism, as not to yield a cheerful acquies
cence in so reasonable an exaction, if that can be
called an exaction which will so materially
strengthen the arm of defence, which tinder the
blessing of Providence is to achieve the Indepen
dence ot the South.
In taking leave of his Honor Judge Harris we
tender him our thanks for his able and efficient
administration of tho laws, we commend him for
his love of reform, and his sincere, honest and pa
triotic devotion to the cause of his country ; and
to the Solicitor we return thanks for the uniform
politeness manifested towards our body.
We request the presentments to be published in
our city papers.

Joseph II. Broom, Esq.—Dear Sir : This is to cer
tify that in the year 1856, I had under my care a ease
of Dropsy, which I directed to be placed under your
treatment. The above ease was placed under vour
care and treatment, nnd in the space of six or seven
weeks you made a tinul cure. The above specified case
lias since been under my notice, but no sign of Dropsy
hits since been visible, i would therefore direct all who
have the Dropsy to give you a trial, for I think your
medicine the greatest ever discovered for Dropsy.

the medical skill which could be procured was exhaust
ed, and her recovery was regarded as hopeless. She
was induced to test the virtue of Broom’s Anti-Hy
dropic* Tincture, and found in a few days she grew
better, and through its us«e a perfect cure was effected,
and she Jived several years afterwards. I cheerfully
recommend tliose afflicted with Dropsy to give it a
