It is not enough for the black hearted leaders of this war to occupy the public buildings in Wasbi.igton, and desecrate the sacred precincts of the ancient temple of Liberty itself—they must inva le the soil of a sovereign State, and carry fire and sword through the peaceful homes of free men.

P®Or I.iftlr Xarylnnd !!! 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.

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. - ' “The Republicans are all departing for fat con sulships, lucrative ministerial posts, and snug berths in custom-houses, while the Democrats are departing South, to eat bard biscuit, and do hard fighting.” “The clearances at the Boston Custom House last week show a ialliug off ill tbe sales of boots and shoes of 15,171 eases on the same week iast yo’tf - 4 A* it] Hn»f7’* __ _ to be met with a fate more terrible than betel the Ids j c ‘ t ‘ l ' s u ‘ Sodom aDd Gomorrah.

There has been considerable glorification in Northern newspapers over a brigade of Kentuck ians that they said was to be organized, and tbe command given to Maj. Anderson.

All of this praise was probably well deserved, but these brave and skillful Kentucky Riflemen will State at Mi Hedge ville. placing in each box a letter giving tbe name of tli.- county from which it comes I cannot doubt that the Railroad and Express Companies in this State, with their accustomed iioerality. will forward all such packages to the Capitol free of charge.

Tlie Republican papers, whenever they speak of the affairs of the countiy. use the words “will,'' “must,” “shall,” “shant,” “may,” and speak with a tone of ou- '.Iwrity that not a monarch on any throne in Eu rope uses. The Boston Courier advises the New York sen sation press to enlist. “Let the Tribune raise a Bran Bread Battalion, or a Shawl Brigade. Erh er would look well, with the delegate from Oregon to lead them on.” “The way the soldiers are “accidentally shooting people in Washington will, we fear, ren der it necessary to remove the army “out of harm’s way.” “If we believe that we shall not find, in this war, a foe every way worthy of ours steel, we shall surely cheat ourselves. We must make up our minds that, in the South, theAstors will goto the war themselves. They will go and take thoir sons with them. The war will be upon tbeir own soil, in sight of their own homes, and everybody will be in the fight.” “No. There is not a Unrig man that can il< m- onstrale to the itason of one single rutionul man among us that southern soeirty, or so-called slarrry, bos ever disturbed Ihe interests or invaded the fr'C- tiomofa northern citizen in our whole history. “The editor of one of our exchanges says : ‘ Thank God, the Capitol is safe, and we breathe again.'’ As we have not believed it ; n danger, we did not stop bn-atiiing.” H.

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 North, has become as flat as stale beer, and we are waiting lor the next. Thr Troup Artillery. This Company have been accepted by the Gov ernor, and expect marching orders every momeut. 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 fltarrrillitu. Those of our people who are compelled to stay at home and look after their crops and other busi ness. should organize themselves into Guerrilla bands. An invading army cannot stand a Guer rilla wtjrfare. Let us prepare to attack them from every hill side and mountain fastness; from every thicket and hiding place; and we can decimate an army of the greatest number the enemy can march into our territory. join Lincoln is composed principally of Dutch, and vagabonds from Ohio. Of tbe two Colonels that are raising these regiments, one of them is a vagabond from Ohio, and tlie other an ex-editor of jment, with a statement of the reasons whylt is 1 so enrolled. I will also cause the names of each of the nine ladies making thu most valuable donations next alter tlie one above mentioned, to be enrolled, each, on a separate leaf, in like manner in tbe or der in which the honor is awarded to each by the thiee officers above mentioned. My next appeal is to the gentlemen. I propose that they raise by contribution one million oi'dol- lars immediately, to be used by the .Mate in equipping aud providing fur the wants of the Geor gia troops. 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. Tlac Banks and Ibr V.onii. We are pleased to learn that the Bauks of Au gusta and Savannah and the Bank of Colum bus and of Athens have each agreed to take ten per cent, upon the amount of tlmir cnpltul stock of the bonds of the State of Georgia for the relief ot the State in her financial embar rassment in conducting her military operations and preparing troops for tbe field. The Bonds our woithy and much respected fellow-citizen, Dr. Benjamin A. White, whose means are ample to accomplish much good for his country, in the fol lowing note: “I am willing to appropriate, if necessary, for the success of the great struggle in which we are now engaged with the Government of the United States, the whole of my income beyouJ that which may be required for the support of my family, for all future : ami if that should be insufficient, any part or the whole of my property, together with any personal services which it may be in my power to perform. BENJ. A. WHITE. April 22, ]3fil.” We take occasion to add that another citizen of Milledgeville has promised to eouip eighty men tor the field, to see that they leave with a heavy puise, and furthermore effers to devote to the cause all of his income, except enough to cover his current expenses, during the war.

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. The Kcpublimii mill hard to plcaac. Our authorized article of last week headed “Gov. Brown and the Greiner case,” in which we stated Gov. Brown's fixed determination to re taliate promptly for the protection of otrr fellow-cit izens if any ot them are imprisoned or banged in Northern States for having obeyed his military or 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. The Governor is well aware of the fact, and is pleased to remember that he was the warm politi cal friend of Mr. Davis while the Editor of the Republican was groping his way in the darkness - L —- V,,,I,,qjiism. We have no flnnl,f Af- Davis will do liis duty nobly, and in this opinion we know that Gov. Brown fully concurs while be warmly supports his administration, and his elec tion by tlie people for a full term. We would remind the Editor in turn that there is such a State as Georgia, and such a person and official as her Governor, who will continue to do bis duty, and to protect the rights of the State, and of her citizens at all hazzards, without regard to the opinions of fault-finders, who are determined notto be pleased and therefore cannot be pleased 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. JOSEPH E. BROWN. Cribnte of Respect. Milledgeville, G.v., \ May 17th, 1861. j At a called meeting of Benevolent Lodge, No ll, A. Y.

[CIRCULAR.j EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, Y Ahjltant Generals Office.;' Milledgeville, Gu., May 18, 1861. ) 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.

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.

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. LAFAYETTE CARRINGTON, Foreman. Thomas B. Lamar, Jesse norton, Richard M. Orme, Jr., Eliphalet Chandler, James M. Gumm, Benjamin F.

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. Yours respectfully, r. f. Seay, m. d. Sundersville, On., Jan. 7, 1858. Gentlemen : This is t«> certify that mv mother was afliioUxJ with Dropsy for a Jong time, and that all 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 fair trial. Respectfully, JNO. W. RCDIS1LLE. Greensboro, Ga., Jan. 30, 1860. Gentlemen : This is to certify that in the year 1853, I had a negro man afflieted with Dropsy. I gave him Broom’s Anti-Hydropic Tincture, which I believe ef fected a permanent cure. This negro was treated by other physicians, but to no effect, and I cheerfully re commend any one who has the Dropsy to try Broom’s Anti-Hydropic Tincture. [32 ly.] Respectfully, NANCY BICKERS.
