After the performance or “Dixie” l>y the “Mil
ledgeville Silver Band,'’ L Carrington, Esq., at
the request of the Chair read Gov. Brown's ap
peal to tbe citizens of Georgia. Our immediate
Representative, in the Congress of the C. S. A
addressed a few remarkt pertinent to tbe immedi
ate objects of the meetiig, and explained in detail
the bill of the Congres* asking subscriptions in
Cotton for a loan to the L'onfederate States. He
concluded, by preseuting/fhe list, and asking the
Planters, hot few of who® were present, to enroll
their names with the respictive amounts they were
willing to invest. Col Ii. A. Jordan headed the
list with one thousand biles. A lady put her bus-!
band's name down fort.v) hundred bales. A young
lady, who lias a separate/ estate ol her own, sub
scribed fifty hales. Ktyii planter present pledged
not less than half, and many the whole of their
crops. We did not see the list, when the meeting
adjourned, but learn that between two and four
thousand bales were sub-cribed.
Col. L. Ii. Briscoe then addressed the meeting
as did also Capt ’This W. White, upon tbe duty
of our citizens to espond to the appeal of Gov.
Brown.
Ou motiou of Cait. White tbe following Reso
lution was passed ttianimously :
Resolved, That Baldwin county responds to tbe
appeal ot Gov. Bnwn ; that, we hereby pledge the
county to pay tbe assessment ($8,760) which by
Our country is invaded by a ruthless foe,
•' .it threaten, to disregardjevery rule of civilized
warfare, and overwhelm and lay waste this fair
I ,nd with tbe besom of destruction- In this our
hoar of trial thousands of our bravest and best
ecu have volunteered to, drive back the invaders
■ r perish in the attempt. But our soldiers must
. ■■ clothed mid fed, and their families must be sup-
. rted in their absence. These supplies cannot be
raised by taxation without calling together tbe
Legislature, and this would take time and be at
tended with considerable expense. To avoid this
■ tv and expense, and tc meet the pressing ne
cessities of our volunteers, Gov. Brown has ap
p-aled to the liberality of the men and xvomen of
Georgia. W’ehaveno doubt this appeal will be
inet in tbe spirit in which it is made. The Gov
ernor and bis wife have set a noble example, and
the citiz ns of old Baldwin last Wednesday re
sponded nobly. They have already determined to
■Jo their full proportion ot the glorious work, and
k- trust tbe citizens Gf other portions of the State

their offerings upon the, altar of their country,

Hi and jliolding tight their pursestrings. But
wiil they escape ? Not at all. If tbe country is
c inquered, their property will be confiscated, and
go to pay for our subjugation, or to enrich our
conquerors. Better, a thousand times better, as a
•peculation to give a part for the protection of the
balance, than to save all for the enemy. But some
may suppose they may avoid both* they may think
that others will fight, and others will give, suffi-

Milledgeville, June 1st, 1861. 2 tf.
For the Southern Federal Union.
Messrs. Editors : I observed in tbe last issue of
your paper a list of the company of Captain Tom
linson Fort, who left Milledgeville in September,
1812 serving his country with distinction in that
war; it being the first company that marched to
the seat of war from Milledgeville. You state
that Captain Benjamin Beck has now organized
a company, awaiting marching orders, called after
the company of Captain Fort, the “Baldwin Vol
unteers.”
I have known-Captain Beck for a number of
years, and I feel confident he will never disgrace
the name of his company by any act of bis. He
leaves Milledgeville with as gallant a set of men
as ever went forth to battle to defend their couti

this amount, will lomplete the one million dollars

proposed to he cie of eighty-seven to pay one
hundred dollars eich, to raise the amount imme

Col. Kenan, thn the amount would be forthcom

the business, vr.: S. K. Talmage, Chra’h., T. W.

Col. McKinliy next addressed the meeting. Al

preceded him, recommending the ladies to cast
into the treasury their jewels, plate. &c , he was
authorized by ihe ladies to say, that they would
give in jewelry, plate, &c., as much as the gen

The I.incolia l>rs|»otism.
The Richmond Whig desires that its readers
should not for a moment foie sight of the flagrant
usurpations committed by Lincoln, in bis war
upon the South. It is. true, we have no further
interest in the Constitution of the United Slates:
but tlie infractions of that instrument by the Ex
ecutive. who professes to seek only its preserva
tion, will throw light upon the animus of the spc-
tiona'i party, in possession of Washington. We
have adverted to various instances of violation of
the Constitution by Lincoln; but the last and
most outrageous case is contained in his last Pro-
claination. When he called out 75,000 militia he
pretended that he acted under a law for suppress
ing insurrections; but in directing an increase of
the standing army and navy, he does not ex'en
condescend to make an excuse.
By the Constitution, the power “to raise and sup
port armies'’ is expressly confined to Congress
Congress, at its last session, had the subject under
consideration, and deliberately refused to raise
any new army, or make any addition to that al
ready existing But Lincoln, without regard to
the Constitution, in his proclamation of tbe 3d
May, makes the following order ;
“And I also direct that the regular army of the
United States be increased by tbe addition of
eight regiments of infantry, one regiment of cav
airy, and one regiment of artillery; making al
together a maximum aggregate increase of twen
ty-two thousand seven hundred and fourteen of
ficers and enlisted men ; tbe details of which in
crease will also be made known through the De
hat those who refuse to come up to the help of i try, or redress their country’s wrongs.

ident Polk,'for distinguished services at the battle
of Churubusiio, Mexico, and was raised to tbe rank
of first Sergeant iu the third Artillery of the Uni
ted States.
Were I to serve in this war, I know of no man
whom I would sooner serve under than Captain
Benjamin Beek, for 1 believe him to be fully com
petent to fill any station that may be assigned
::.aiked in all coming time.
“Living, they shall forfeit fair renown,

New is the time to get ready, before the enemy is

Li.led and equipped to meet the invader. New
t. ;npanieg should be organized wherever fifty or
more men can be got together. Our friends in
tie country must not depend on the people of the
city for too many men. The fanner and planter
have as much at stake, or more, than any oib-‘r
c'ass of our people. They have done well in some
cainties, but in many others they have furnished
very few soldiers, and less money to carry on the
' v ar. Some men must stay at home ; but only a
lew are necessary to remain to see that tbe
negroes make good crops. If they can t go, let
tu rn equip, and support tbe family of, some poor
man who will go.
The President in Virginia.
President Davis arrived safely in Richmond on
Wednesday morning last. He was received by
G ■. Letcher and the people of Virginia with 0 f the Republican. Gov. Brown, we opine, ap
unbounded enthusiasm. His presence ou tbe soil j predates President Davis ns highly as be who
Virginia is equal to a small army. He will has opposed him bitterly in the past, while at the

Who Nhall hr Garrrnor ? I.cl uk be united,
Messrs. Editors Southern Federal Union :
We are soon to elect a Governor. Who is tbe
man for tin times 7 The people are beginning to
discuss tie matter, nnd in ordinary times this
would be ight, and even now men will talk about
it. They will have their preferences. The press
will occationally give utterance to the sentiments
of the people. All this may do no harm if con
ducted in a proper spirit. But is it not well to see
in time v hither we are drifting 7 May we not,
before w( know it, get into bitter partizen and
personal controversies about men 7 and if there be
danger ii this respect, bow shall we avoid it.' Who
is to leaf off on this subject / Somebody must do
it; som« line of policy must bo laid down : some
fair and plausible plan uf operations must be de
vised and carried out. We must have no contro
versies on this question. We must steer clear of
all strifts. contentions, political discussions and
partizar bickerings.
Now, Mr. Editor, bow shall this be brought
about 7 Who shall lead the way ? Who shall be
the Palinurns to pilot us safely through these
breakers that seem to be just ahead of us 7 In
my hcratde judgment the. man who can accom
plish tois will do more for his country than he who
goes to the “tented field,” at the head of a regi
ment <f “armed men.”
Wliat is our condition 7 ls>ita time for politi
cal strifes among ourselves 7 We are iu the
-midst of a war. All we have is up ! Our lives,
our fortunes and our liberties are all staked on the
issue.

“And I further direet tbe enlistment, for not
less than one or more than three years of eighteen
thousand seamen in addition to the present force,
for the naval service of the United States. The
details of the enlistment and organization will be
known through the Department of the Navy.”
The usurpations of the Lincoln dynasty are be
ginning to attract attention in the Northern
States. Tbe idea is forcing itself upon consider
ate minds there that if Lincoln will set at naught
the express provisions of the Constitution in his
zeal to subjugate the South, be will not hesitate
to turn upon them if they do not bow to his imperi
al behests. The Cincinnati Enijuirer, of the 12th,
says:
We have several letters before us in which the
writers express a desire to be informed where tlie
President gets his authority to make his lato call
for forty-two thousand volunteers to serve for three
Years, aud his authority to increase the regular
force of the Army ar.d Navy. The desire is a
very natural aud proper one; and with a people
jealous of the encroachments of power on popu
lar rights, aud watchful of their Constitutional
freedom, must be gratified. We suppose the polit-
cal friends of the President can have no difficulty
in giving tlie information—in pointing out. the pro
visions of the Constitution and the law which au
thorize him to make the call. We have no idea
that the President, who is bending his whole en
ergies to put "down usurpations of power and at
tempts to defeat the operations of the Constiti:
tion and the laws, will himself be guilty of usur
ping power and vi dating the Constitution and
the laws’ He will afford nn such pretext to others
to do violence to our polilical system. The Tres
dent, on the 4th of March, took a solemn ojfh to
“preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of
the United States,” to tho best of his ability, and
that Constitution makes it his special duty to
“take care that tiie laws he faithfully executed.”
We cannot suppose that the President, in so short
a time, has forgotten that oath, and proved un
faithful to the obligations it imposed upon him
The inquiry as to his power has been made and
we hope some political friend of tbe President will
point it out. It imparts great coufidence to the
country, and strengthens the hands of the Admin
tralion, to know that the safeguards upon which
the people rely for the protection of their liberties
and reserved rights, are not encroached upon by
those in whom they have confided power for their
defense and protection.

I am authorized agent of the Government of the
Confederate States, to receive subscriptions of Cot
ton for the defence of the country. I append to the
note, the form of a subscription, prepared at the
Treasury Department. You will see that its terms
are few and intelligible. Each person willing to aid
in defence of onr soil, our families, our religion,
subscribes a paper in which it is stipulated, that he

selves, we shall not waste our time and exhaust, be deposited, lie agree
our energies in contentions about the question, as
to who shall he Governor.
Let the strife rather be, who shall do most for
his country 7 Who shall do most to nerve, the arm
of the Executive, whoever lie may he 7 Who shall
do most to arm aud equip our young men, who
are rushing to the battle field, and to create the
"sinews of war” to sustain them in the field 7
Let this he the strife. At the same time we have to
elect a Governor. We want a man of experience.
We want a Statesman—a man of action, of nerve,
of prudence, and one who will have the confidence
and love of the people 7 How shall we select
him 7 We have no parties now—only one—a par
ty all for their country! Thank God for that!
There are now no whigs, no democrats, no Airier- j

shall he sold on or before thi
dny deeigueii; and the proceeds, after deducting ali
charges,paid to the Treasurer of the Government,
or his agent. And the Government stipulates, that

bonds will run for twenty years—will he negotiable,

The Nnvnnnnh Republican and Bor. Brown
In tiie daily Republican of the sixteenth inst.,
occurs tiie following fling at our model Governor:
“We beg leave to remind him, [Gov. Brown.]
that there is in existence such an individual as
Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate
States of America: and furthermore, that the past
history of the said President affords ample as
surance that the lights of ali the citizens of the
Confederate States will he protected abroad.
This may he news to the Governor, but it is
nevertheless true.”
This fling is in keeping with tlie astute editor

suggestion could be unanimously responded to.
Why should it not bo so 7 It is now no time to
talk of the usages of political parties that have
passed away. There is no law, there is no con
stitutional provision against electing a Governor
for a third term. He is eligible so long as the
people see fit to elect him. Gov. Brown has been
twice elected, and has nearly served out the second
term. He has “done the State some service.” He
has made a “model Governor.' In times of peace
bis administration has been a model administra
tion. In war he has shown himself equal to an^
i mergency. He has intelligence, sagacity, expe
rience and prudence, and more than that, he has
what is needed ill these times, the icill and the nerve
that reminds us ot the palmy days of “Old Hick
ory," ot blessed memory. Why then should there
he any objection to his serving a third term? Why
this opposition to him? He may have personal an J
political enemies, and what man of action and nerve
does not have enemies? Washington had ene
mies, so had Jefferson ; Jackson had bitter ene
mies. But it is to be regretted that these enmities
should be indulged at this time. Are we as fickle
and ungrateful as the ancient Greeks who banish
ed their best friend and benefactor because they
got tired of hearing the people praise him 7
But what is to he done 7 Some say it will not
do to break over the time honored custom not to
elect a Governor fora third term. Some say they
want “lion, st Joe Brown ’for some higher place
Some suy the Confederate States wili have a use
for thi* “young Hickory " where his talents can
he exci ted to better advantage. Others say that
old party feuds will break out again if Gov. Brown
is a candidate again. What is to be done.’
Mr. Editor, as much as I admire Gov. Brown,
having twice voted for him and prefering him
above all others for a third term, I would not have
any strife over this matter. At any sacrifice “let
this cup pass" from us May tbe Lord deliver us
from a scrub race with candidates on the stump ex
citing the political passions of our people against
each other at this time. That would engender
strife without end.
The people must take hold of this matter and
put down ali contention. They can do it if they
will, and the only question is, how shall it be
done 7
I propose a Convention of tbe People. The peo
ple can bold a Convention as well as a party. We
are now all of the same party, and if not we must
become so. Let the citizens of each county meet
and select Delegates, say. Jive Delegates for the
counties having ttco Representatives, and three
Delegates for the counties having one Representa
tive. These Delegates are selected by the people
at large. They witl represent all the opinions aud
shades of opinions of former parties Let them
meet in Convention at Milledgeville about tbe 1st
of September. Then it will be a very simple pro
cess to select a candidate for Governor. When
that is done onr strifes are at an end. The nomi
nee of such a convention will have no opposition.
Covfederate States.
We, the subscribers, agree to contribute to the de
fence of the Confederate States the portion ot our

the nett proceeds of sale, we direet to he paid over to
the Treasurer of the Confederate States, for bonds for

The Privateers and their Prizes.
The following is ft correct list of the
prizes that have been brought into our
port up to this time : Prizes of the steam
ship Calhoun—the ship Milan, from Liv
erpool, with 1500 sacks salt, vessels worth
about 620,000; bark Ocean Eagle, from
Rockland, Maine, with a cargo of lime,
worth about B20,000, schooner Ella, from
Tampico for Pensacola, with a cargo of
bananas, oranges, &c,, vessels and cargo
worfh about 65000.
Prizes ofthe armed steamer V. II. Ivy
—ship Marathon, from Marseilles, in bal
last, worth 635,000; ship Abolition from
Boston, with a cargo Qf ice, vessel worth
about 620,000.
Prizes of the armed steamer Music—
The MarshtiiJ^a splendid new ship from
Havre, in baWnst, worth at least $50,000;
ship John H. Jarvis, from Liverpool in
ballast, worth about $20,000.
A number of onr prominent citizens own
stock in these lucky privatears, and they
have never known before such a profita
ble business. Their investments have
been more than double in a week, and
-will probably go ou like a snow ball rol
ling down a long hill. This great success,
too, will give vast encouragement to many
capitalists who have not yet embarked in
privateering to do so. As the distant
squadrons of the United States navy have
been generally recalled, and the Xortli
has no war vessels, to spare for the protec
tion of its ships, every sea on the globe is
a fruitful field for captures, aud at the end
of the war the South will have a splendid
commercial marine of prizes 'within her
own ports.—.V. O. Bee.

mon from Havana was fired upon by the Federal
steamer Brooklyn, brought to, and boarded. She was

To the Delegates of the recent March Convention,
from the Counties of the 7th Congressional
District:
Gentlemen : As agent and representative of
the 7th Congressional Distiie.t I solicit your
active co operation ia obtaining “subscriptions of
crops for defence of the Confederate, States.” The
caption of the lists, this day forwarded to you,
fully explains the object and terms ofthe subscrip
tion. By the proposal, our Government, asks of
her citizens no tribute: hut simply an endorse
ment of the cause, in which we are all embarked—
receiving her bonds, at 8 per cent, interest, for
the coming crops an act, which will give aid
and strength to our Government, and remunera
tive interest to the planter—illustrating the proud
boastof our positiou—ttiat our crops can sustain
our soldiers in battle, and maiutain our commjrce
in war! Feeling every confidence that the patriot
ic hearts of our people will respond cordially to
their country's call, I am.
Very Respectfully Your*.

THE SHORT WAY.
[From the New-York Courier and Enquirer.]
“There are two. ways putting down the
present rebellion and saving the Union.
Tbe one is, to call from seventy-five to a
hundred thousand troops into the field,
and consnmate two or three years in
seientificalJe terminating the war at a fear
ful loss of life, an enormous cost in money,
besidess destroying the business of tbe
country pending the war; which, in itself,
would amount to untold hundreds of mil
lions of dollars. The other and the wi
ser, and the cheaper mode is, to call out a
quarter of a million of volunteers, and
double that number if necessary, and bring
the whole matter to a close in a few
months. The latter is the cheaper mode;
and when accomplished, business would at
once resume its natural channels and we
should again be a happy, united, and pros
perous people, a Nation commanding the
respect and admiration of the world. And
this latter course, is the one which the peo
ple will insist upon. We entreat of the

In Macon, on the 17tb of May, Mr. James C.
Edwards, aged 55. He had long been a resident

community in which he lived, as a good citizen,
and a cons stent member of the Presbyterian
Church. ' From the nature of his disease, his suf
ferings were great: yet he exhibited the most
patient fortitude and resignation to the will ot
God. He remarked to his distressed and afflicted
wife, that it was appointed of all men once to
die, aud that his time had come: That he was
passing away. He then said, “I believe in God
the Father, Almighty, in Jesus the Saviour and
the Holy Spirit—the Comforter—my Redeemer
who died for my sins—He is all in all, I desire
nothing more;” and raising his hands “nothing
less ” His desire was tfiat God’s will be done.
His faith was strong till the last. To a covenant
keeping God he was enablid to commit his dis

that all would be well with them; and sinking
