wliic li would be obaeived as I bad In p- d.
The principal point to which I drew .Mr.

' MI 1 were actua ly etilisled in the seivice of the State
! CVnstilution. would give the State the right to
iaiseand maintain Hoops.
I commence my military career, as you are
j phased to term it by accepting service under the
1 flag ot the < unfedetale States, and I recognize
■ otices for each Somhein port t*s sooiias thei
a. taul blockade i f it should commence.
1 h»- n-ply w-lih-b I receivid was, ilm* tbe prac
tice of tbe I’ni ed Stales was not to issue such
notices, but to notify the Ido. hade ,„diyid..a:ly «<• | p reiille ^ ,/ //,, Confederate States
eael. v,s-sel approaching the l.loekad. .11 port, and nj| (/ „ wl „, m lhe Coustmilion (to
to u,scribe a in- niorai dnn. of the notice having | wG . i pa ft V ) ‘ - -
b- eu givt ii on tin ship's papers. No vessel was
liah'e to seizure w lii.-h had i ot been individually
warned. This plan bad, I was assured, been
found tube, in pracliee, tbe most convenient and
ihe faiiest for al! parries The fact ol there being
blockading ships pre-elit to give tbe warning was
the best notice and the best proof ihat the port
was actually and t ffectnally blockaded.
The piineipal objection to the plan appeared to
me to be, that it might in some case expose foreign
vessels to tht loss and incoiiveuienee of making a
useh ss voy age, which a more general and public
announcement of the blockade would have pie-
venlt d.
I observed to Mr Seward that the limits ol
blockade which it was intended to establish were
not clearly staled. It was not easy to uinierstand
exactly to what extent of coast the expnssioti
•the ports within” the States mentioned was ap
plicable. Mr Seward said that it was intended i
to b'oekade the whole coast trom Chesapeake Bay j
to the momh ot ibe Rio Giaade. I observed to j
him that the extent of ibe coast between thes- two
points w as. I suppose, about 3,0 I) miles, ‘sure'y t
the L'niu il States bad not a naval force sliffiei-lit
• o establish all .-ft* clive blockade of such a length
i t coast. Mr .- ewaid. however, maintained that
tbe whole would be blockaded, aud blockaded ef
fectively.
I may. perhaps, lie allowed to refer your lord
ship to a clear declaration ; f (lie principles of tin
United States on such mattet*. which is contained
in a til le fiom Mr. Bui'liaiian. dated 'z!Mi Decem
ber. irGli.atid tiansuiitti d to the Foieign Office in
Sir Uieiiaid l’ackeiilmm's dispatch of the same
date.
Mr. Seward assured me that all foreign vessel.-
already in port when the blockade should t»e set
on foo*, would he allowed l«> come out with tin ii
cargoes I asked whether tiny would be allowed
to come out with caigms shipped at.ei th} block
ade was actually establish, d. Mr Sew aid did nm
speak positively on this point; what he said
seemed to imply th it the lime at w Inch the cargo
was shipped would not be inquired into. 1 said
that 1 soppi sed that it was clearly understood that
fmsign ships coming out of bit ekadi d ports in
wliii Ii ilieie was no United States customs am bin i-
tics would not be interfered with on the plea ot
their lining without iIrarance or othi r papets re
quited hy tin revmiie law s
Mr. Seward said that it was tlm honofide inten
tion ot ill • Government to allow- for* ign vessels
already iu port w hen the bluekaile was established
tod. part without mol. station
lie did not -ay that any paiticular term would
be fixed al ter the expiration of which tor* ign ves
sels would no longer be allowed to quit blockaded
ports.
lie did not repeat to me the assurance he gave
some time ago t - one ol my colleagues, that ves
Be s arriving without a knowledge of I fie hlockad-
would he allowed to go into a blockaded poll and
come cut again.
Nor did tie say anything of the intention, which
he ex pressed to another of my colleagues, of pro
posing to the Legi-laiure that the United Stans
should adhere to the declatatiuu of the Congress
of Faii* on maritime law. j point their field . flic

liiililiceuu lit. some definite information for th* |
guidance of British merchant vessels, lie pr. mised
has conferred the
tig til fu command me.” It is true* that I tender
ed, under instructions from my company, their
Si rvice to tlm Confederate 8taies through you,
in the fiist instance: this, however, was simply_
because ihe Piesideiit had adopted ihat mode of
obtaining troops as a matter ot public conveni
ence and »ml heruu-e there >rcr jcos any Consti
tution or law winch rrijinred him to appeal to
the Slate Executives: still less is there any
ground for your asseitiou that the rights of the
.-states aie violated by the Piesident receiving
troops directly, without the intervention of tho
Governors. „
You labor, and have constantly labored, under
the erroneous impression that Tut are the STATE
he Geoigia. 1 beg leave to protest against this
conclusion, ill which, I assure you. lean never
concur. By tbe Constitution of the Confederate
States, to w hich Georgia has agreed, the Confed
erate Government is olone chargeable with ques
tions of peace and war, and lias the exclusive
i ig hr, except iu case of invasion, to raise and main-
ain aritii. s. 1 he Congress, and nut the Guver-
oois ot Slates, are entrusted with the power to
raise these armies: and as rbc Constitution is
broad and unqualified in this grant of power, the
Congress is.unrestricted in the mode hi which it
shall be exeicised. The-President of tiie Con
federate Mates is tiie Commander in-Chief of
riiesn armies, thus laised, for a common cause;
and the Governors of Statts have not, so fat as I
am aware, any jurisdiction or power over tins
sul.j.-ct, <snjiL so far as pa'riotism may induce
them to co-operate with tho General Government
in times of great emergency and danger. A’our
conclusion, therefore, that “the act of Congress
under w hii ii 1 go, is a palpable encroachment up
on the rights ol the States,” does not tti tho least
disturb me. Neither upon reason or authority do
I consider the opinion of much value. I think
most, people will prefer the judgment of the Con
i'derate Congress and the Piesident of tho Con-
| fedcra'e States, w ho gave the act their deliberate
{ sanction.
! You have fallen into another error upon this
jsuij-ct. A'ou say “ihat I proceeded to the Coii-
! federate Coitgiess, of which 1 am a member, and
that a bill was passed, you suppose,chiefly by my
uifluenci, which authorizes the President to re-
j.t-ne the military forces of the States over the
I bead and independent ot State authority.” You
timber say that, “under tbis act I was accepted
into service, without your consent, and peimit-
t- d to leave Savannah and go to \rirginia.” I
assue y ou. in passing, that 1 shall never think it
necessary to obtain your consent to enter the
set vive of my country. God forbid that 1 shou'd
ever fall so low.
But to ym.r charge. I know not to what act
on leter. as the one under w hich I was accept
'd itpo service; but I will inform you that the
act under which 1 serve is entithd. “An Act to
raise additional forces to serve daring the war ”
I hisaet. to the best of my remt mbrance. contains
no allusion to the State authority, nor does it nl-

tin-iy strategical, and f *r the purpose of giving
C<»l. McClellen's co umn battle before tbe latte,

under these two able mid efficient officers is *-x
pected to take place on smile day during this
week, yon will probably get news of the battIt
before this r*-acin s you But our friends shotih
understand and appreciate the main object foi
which Harper’s Ferry has been evacuated.
The enemy opened tire again on yesterday fron
the Kip Raps, and shot eleven of Sawyer’s shell*
at the Sewall’s Point batt- ry. The tiring began a
11 .j o'clock, a m, and continued at interval.-
from 111 to Io minutes until 2 l o’clock, p. in. A
number of the shells fell near the battery, sum.
ot them fell within a f- w hundred yards nf out
camp. The firing occasioned iittlo else ihat
amusement in our camp. The oblong shellssen
to the F'oyd KiS s and Macon Volunteers’ Armor
ies are the Sawyer shells.
Hon. Howell Cobb visited our camp on day
before yesterday at 4 p. ni , and remained nnli
G o’clock on yesterday, p. m. He made a fim
speech ti) our Battalion on tin* first evening,aud it
was cheered with much enthusiasm. He was
serenaded by a number of our amateur musicians
at night He was here dur.ng tbe ti ing of th*
enemy fr m the Kip Raps. Gen Huger visited
our camp soon after the firing ceased. He stated
that the gun fired by the enemy was offered to
and iejected by him while he was in the U. S
service and stationed at Fortress Monroe.
Besides those mentioned. Miss Evans, tiie
authoress of Beulah, and her mother, Lieut. Col
Lomax, and Cap . Andrews of the Mrd Regiment
Alabama volunteers, visited our camp on yester
day.
Gen. Huger advised Major Hardeman to move
his camp from its present location, and according
ly w e shall move this afternoon to a better ground
nearly three fourths of a mile distant.
We were gratified to learn from the General that
fifteen pieces of artillery and three Artillery Com
panies are stationed about two miles from our
campground With these and our Battalion we
shall be able to give our enemies a warm recep

the present crisis, as Geo-. M. Dalfas. lat*
American Minister to the Court of St
fames, who lias just returned to this conn
try and who is fresh from communication
by virtue of his position, with theJeadin*
statesmen of that nation. What he say*
of matters is thus stated in tlte Philadel
phia correspondence of the New Yorl
Tribune who writes:
Mr. Dallas converses very tin reserve dh
about the feeling of the British Ministry
toward this Government. He believed
the Ministry to be hostile to ns, and that
Lord John Russell’s early recognition o
the rebels as belligerents was not a pre
mature declaration to be repented of here
after, but a deliberate policy to be adlier
ed to, a-s far as it goes. He is disposed t*
believe that the great arbiter is Cotton—
that as the stock on band will keep tin
F.nglish mills employed until November
rite Ministry will not npeniy countenance
the rebellion until jt is ascertained wlietli
er the new crop is to be expoited or not
If we crush the rebels and permit tlte new
crop to be exported, all will be satisfacto
ry to John Hull; if we fail to do so, ant
John Bull has to do without cotton, tliei
some occasion will be found to get up t
difficulty and force tbe. blockade. If tin
war here continues until November, Bui
will keep tolerably quiet, making only at
occasional roaring. Hence, as tbe tiint
for shipping the new crop approaches, tbe
question of bow England means to act
will be more clearly answered. Mr. Dallas
thinks that if tbe Ministry were to be- too
openly for the rebellion now, Exeter Halt
would turn them out forth with, while, un
less they made some show of favoring the
Cotton lords, they would do tlie same
thing; so as it is for office, after all, that
they*are contending, their future policy
will be just such as they may think the
most likely to insure to them a continu
ance of power. He is of opinion that

enthusiastic gratitude of the poor fellows ter: j it will give rest to yoursplvae, and relief and health
whom they have relieved. Nor do they
grow weary in well-doing, although tbis
labor of love grows daily on their hands.
But it is perfectly obvious that the
work of charity may be expected soon to
assume proportions by which their strength
will be utterly overwhelmed. YVbile Cul
peper has furnished her due share of vol
unteers for the war, it is not fair to expeet
this one neighborhood of the country to
be burthened with the whole care of
the sick of a great army, drawn from a
large part of Virginia, South Carolina,
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. It
seems to me as much as we can ask of
them, to bestow their time and labor for the
relief of those whom Providence thus
throws upon their Christian charities,
while the people of all the region from
which these troops c<>me, should take upon
riiemselves, as a privilege, the providing of
ill the materials needed for their benevo
lent ministry. J, therefore, take this me
thod, unsolicited by the people of the
place, to suggest to the charitable, and
especially to all the Christian females, as
i most appropriate way of doing good, the
eontribution ot such tilings as are needed
in a large hospital, i.et each wife, sis
ter and mother, throughout the South,
*vho extends her aid to these generous
sisters in Dulpeper, remember that, per-
uaps, ber husband, her brother, Iter son,
may be in tbis hospital before the cam
paign closes, to feel the bitter need ol
such comforts. Let me assure them, that
if all the sorrowful incidents of war, the
military hospital, even under the best
regulations, is the most mournful; it is far
more dreaded by the soldier titan the bat
tle-field.—With all that an abounding
charity can d<* to alleviate its evils, untold
discomforts will still be endured by mul
titudes; and that hy men who, at home,
have been accustomed to eve y comfort.
In every war, tlie “pestilence that wal-
ketli in darkness” destroys more than
“the destruction that wasteth at noon
lay.” Hence it follows, that to save the
precious lives and health of our sick sol
diers is the best generalship,‘and the tru

ease, amidst the scores of strangers sick,

your friend.

Mr. Editor . Agreeable to previous no
tice, tbe volunteers known .as the DeKalb
Guards convened at tbe Church, in the
45tIt District G. M. of Bulloch county, on
the 22d inst. for the purpose of organi
zing the aforesaid company, consisting of
eighty in number, who were ordered into
line by tbe First L eutenant, and a finer
company was never seen in said District,
and should the issue come when it is nec
essary for the DeKalb Gnaids to meet
tlte hireling hordes of Black Republican
fanaticism, 1 predict for them in the annals
of future history a place, for which they
will rejoice. The music was anima
ting and cheering to the company and
■ spectators during the exercise.
Tbe volunteers were marlied and coun-

on Wednesday, June 19th, at deem competent as an officer, in the pres
ence of about Jour -"hundred spectators,
one half of tvhom weie ladies. The com
pany, after being exercised about two
hours, were imited to a sumptuous and
well prepared dinner, with i very luxury
necessary, which was prepared by the
ladies. '1 he Rev. John G. Kimbrell was
called f«ir by the officers, and he made a
few feeling and appropriate remarks, and
craved a blessing fiom the band of Prov*

That thrilling song of Freedom

And we’ll sound its notes once more,
’Till our men and children shout it
From the mountain to the shore.
Sweet eyes are filled with tears, men,

As our wives and sweetlo-arts bid us
Go meet w hateVr bolide—
Go meet whate’er betide.
And God onr guide shall be.
As we drive the toe lit-fore ns

.VI i I i 111 ry Appointment.
Richmond June 25.—Bishop Leonidas
Polk, of the Episcopal Diocese of Lousi
ana, has been appointed Major General of
the Provisional Army, to command the
Department of Bed River and Missis
sippi.
Bishop Polk is ore of the most distin
guished prelates of the Episcopal Church,
in the South, and associated with Bishop
Elliot, of our own State, was mainly in-
stiunn ntal in raising the fund for the es
tablishment i f the University of the South
at Suwannee, in Tennessee, where his
house, with that of Bishop Elliott, was bur
ned by abolition incend:aiies. That
cause must be just as patriotic that en-
Lsts the hearts and hands of such suppor
ters. Since writing tlte above we learn
• hat BiiJiop Polk is a regular graduate at
West Point, and some time held an ap
pointment in the U. S. army.—Ed.
