examine these old customs, these ancient tradi
tions, and see what they amount to. There is no
law, or Constitutional provision against electing
a man Governor as often as the people please.
They elect Judges attd Clerks, and Congressmen,
and members of tlie legislature, repeatedly, and
think they gain by electing a good man that lias
been tried, over one that has never been tried,
and they act wisely. Why then should they act
differently in electing a Governor? If we will ex-
nmine the history of the case, we shall discover
the root of the matter. The Banks have had a
great deal to do with tlie legislation of Georgia for
the last forty years, and many, very many of the
most active politicians have been ditectly, or in
directly connected with the Banks, and they have
ha 1 two objects, in establishing a custom among
themselves, that no man should be elected Gov-
er mr more than twice. One object was as we
have said before, that as many of them as possible
might have a chance to be Governor, and the other
Wts, that if any Governor should ever presume to
oppose tlie Banks in any of their schemes t<> fleece
the people, and the people should sustain him.

A simple plan has been successfully tried in
Miliedgeville for getting a box of religious read
ing for the soloiers. whieh is now* noticed, in the
hope that other communities will try the same ex
periment.
It was announced in the Church and at the
Soldiers’ Prayer Meeting, that a box of -religious
books was about to be made up for the aimv.
All who had a testament, or small bible, religious
bonks or tracks, *fct;., to spare, wi re invited to
leave them at a particular store, for the box.
The result is, we have made up, without any
body's spending a dollar, a well filled box contain
ing thiriy-oue testaments and bibles, one hundred
and nineteen religious books, some three or tour
hundred tracts, and forty-three miscellaneous
Reviews. The box is now on its way to our
Georgia Regiments. Almost every house among
church going peepie, have some books in it that
can be spared for so noble a purpose. Many a
soldier iu bis times of leisure or of sickness will
read the words ot truth and s iberneas,even tho’ he
may have neglected them at home. The plan ot
procuring religious books for the army, so suc
cessful in Miliedgeville, is earnesiiy commended
ro all our communities. Let notice be given in
the Jliurches—a place be designated for leaving
the books, and the books will come. Then l**t the
box be forwarde 1 either to some particular Regi
ment. or to the Editor of some religious newspa
per, who will upon request, give it such a direc
tion as will place it where it is needed. L.

their eff.u ts in behalf of the brave defenders of

vain or ambitions spirit, with humility would say
we have only done our duty and pleasure, aud our
only object in giving it publicity, is to inspire
those who have not given to'do so note. The va
rious members of the Society have engaged heart
and soul in their duties, and with generous purses
and willing hands ma le up and forwarded to their
respective companies the following articles, viz •

There are quite a mi inner of garments in the
iepository, but not sutfieent to supply the de
mand for winter use. We are anxious to procure
blankets for our soldiers, and not having sufficient
funds frr the purchase, we appeal to our citizens
to furnish them If everybody in the county would
give but a single blanket, the quantity needed
could be raised. Let us not ask in vain, but let
one and all send in blankets to tho President.—
Vt a recent meeting of the Society, the Ladies re
solved to send a box to Judge Starnes for tho sick
and wounded of our Georgia men. All who feel
disposed, (and who are not !)to contribute to this,
will send to Mrs. Fort, or to the Vice President,
Mrs. J B. Trippe, who will seyd on the box in the
course of ten days From our friends in the coun
try, we would soiicit aid—they have proved them
selves so liberal in contributing to the comfort r.t
our soldiers, we feel assured they will give for the
relief of the sick and suffering. Such articles as
pillows, sheets, pillow cases, old soft undercloth

Rice, tea, jellies, pickles, jams, sage, flax seed, ar
row root, corn starch, medicines, soaps, brandy
and wine, and cordials, <tc. All these articles
will be gratefully received—money will be well
applied if given. Then let us, whilst our gallant
soldiers are nobly sustaining our high reputation
abroad, earn by our patriotism and sympathy a
name and character at home rivalling the lieroiues

and inability have been his misfortune, v. e corn
mend him in his course of retiring from tiio ser
vicet aud will ever reverence him as a patriotic
gentleman, and an efficient officer, whose laudable
instructions will prove valuable in the hour ot
conflict.
And be it further Resolved, That, we earnestly
invoke the blessings of Heaven to repair his
health, so that if he is not able to serve Ins conn

his spirit of philanthropy by his indefatigable en
ergy to his professional diuies.

accomplished by the Southern rights party, and
as members of that party the voters of Chatham

Virginia is also good—the enemy is everywhere | addressed to the patriotism and^ liberality ot our

and also to raise
ifiiizens.ztails loudly fur immediate and united
action, it should not be forgotten that the cold
weather will commence in the mountains of Vir
ginia much sooner than in our section. It is al
ready upon our brave volunteers. We learn that
frost has already been seen in the camps. There
is, therefore, no time to lose. Every hand should
be busy until the comfort of our boys is assured.
The following is the appeal oi Geneial Anderson :
To the Friends and Relatives ot the First, the
Seventh, and Fourteenth Regiments. Captain
Hart's Independent Rifle Company, and Capt.
Alexander's Rangers, composing First Brigade
of Tennessee Volunteers iu Yirgiuia.
The near approach of the cold season in the
mountains, admonishes us that preparations should
he made against the rigors and hardships of a win
ter campaign. And whilst it is not doubted that
the Couf* derate States will amply meet all our
wants, yet ttie work ot preparing supplies for the
large armies now iu the field, is no oi dinary one,
aud liberal contributions from patriotic cilizeus,
would tend much to relieve the Government. Each
an evidence of their sincere* soldier now here will require from two to three
blood hounds bard upon their heels. In Eastern
Vi*(*inia, things seem to be preparing for great
events. We shall probably hear of some impor
tant movements before long. In Georgia, the
Ban kites are collecting their forces tor a grand
caucus at Miliedgeville, on the 11th of Septem

against Governor Brown, but this campaign will

Tbe Grand Jnry recommend that a meeting of

The Grand Jury, as an evidence of their sincere

blankets or yarn coverlids, woolen gloves, two
flannel shirts, two pair heavy pants, a heavy pair
of shoes or boots aud one felt or wool bat. Many
of the firesides and the libenies of the peopl
threatened with destruction. In the full knowl
edge of f rriicomiiig results we gave our entire
support to the movement: but in doing this we
did not contemplate a curtailing ot our own free
dom of speech or tlie pen. or that the rights pre
viously enjoyed by citizens should have to under
go the Scrutiny ot self inaugurated censors, who
have assumed powers not granted by, aud alto
gether unauthorized by the laws of the land. We
have evi-r cherished the enjoyed freedom of the
post, and we wish to transfer it intact, if possible,
to our children, and we hope that ihe people of
Geuigia will keep a vigilant eye upon all open
ami hidden attempts, to curtail those rights en
joyed by and bequeathed to ns, through the suffer-
iugs and blood of our ancestors.
f are men among us who are great admirers
o. British examples and their institutions, and
who are fascinated with the glare attending King-
,y power, men who would not scruple to see a
recognized aristocracy created to rule and dotni-
ueet over the people, provided that they them
selves should be the recipients. Aware of the
spread ot these sentiments, we opposed and voted
against o reduction ot the Senate of Georgia, as
tt rea. y ended, in our opinion, to the weakening
o powei of the masses, and to an increase ot
further usurpauons in favor of the few.

Richmond, Ya., August 30.— Dispatch
es from Wilmington say that offi
cial intelligence has been received there
this morning, stating that Hatteras battery
was taken at 11 A. M., yesterday, by the
Federal forces. They took 535 Confeder
ate prisoners, including Com Barron and
Col. Bradford. Later reports from Hat-
teras says that Forts Hatteras and dark,
two miles North, were both taken by the
Federalists. Our men fought bravely.
The loss on our side is supposed to be 40
killed and 20 wounded. Another report
says that there were 80 killed and woun
ded. The balance of the forces, some 600
to 800, were taken prisoners. Only 10 or

iVclmsle Scales Atfirer-
; Agency.
Atlanta, Ga , August *2Jtb, 1861.
The object of this Agency is to effect a direct
trade alliance b tween the European and the
Southern Press, through the medium of advertis
ing. The most practicable mode oT in trod u cing
the Merchants, Manufacturers, Capitalists. Insu
rance Companies, &c., of foreign countries, to
the Southern trade, is by an organized, classified
and libera! system of advertising. Trade, like
time and tide, wait for no man. The commerce of
the world will not pause iu ruinous inaction, but
will commence its irresistible ebb and flow the
moment peace is established. One of the most
dangerous, corrupting and insidious means to be
used by the North, will he the medium of adver
tising n Southern papers. Advertising agencies
are already organized-in every Northern city, and
only bide their time. We must see to it that our
papers are so tilled with foreign advertisements
and the advertisements of Southern Importers,
Dealers and Manufacturers, that there will not he
space left in any Southern newspaper for the ad
vertisement of a single Yankee notion. Then will
our papers present to their readers a faithful mirror
of Dealers, Manufacturers, *£c., in the Old World,
and of out business men at home, and thus attach
to Southern interest that mighty lever “the Press,”
arid disrupt the tie which by means of Northern
advertising has hadso much influeuco in binding
the South to dependence upon its enemies.
Through the medium of a liberal advertising
patronage, our Southern editors can be maintained
against the stagnation in their business, which
proceeds from interrupted or disorganized trade.
The object of this agency is threefold:
1st. To advertise European Merchants, Manu
factures, Hotels, Railroads, Insurance Companies,
Bankers, &e , &c., in Southern papers.
2nd. To advertise Southern business, property,
&c., in Europ an journals.
3rd. To advertise home industry and Southern
enterprise in onr own papers, and thereby build up
the ciiies of our Confederacy, instead of those ol
our enemies.
Onr arrangements abroad are all completed
We now* address you this preliminary circular, to
ask you to send us duplicate copies of your paper
accompanied by a private letter (which shall be
strictly confidential,) stating your terms of adver
tising, &c-
We will soon appoint agents in each important
seabord and inland cily. Atlanta, at present, is
selected for the Central Office, on account of its
geographical position. We respectfully ask for
this enterprise your hearty co operation and as
sistance, and guarantee, iu return, strict integrity
in all business transactions
By order of the Board of Directors.

Peace .'loreatenta at the IVorsh.
We clip the following significant article from a
late Boston journal:
The position taken by tho Democratic party
in the great States of New York and Ohio in
opposition to ihe proposal of the Republicans
to nominating joint tickets in favor of the Union
and a vigorous prosecution of the war, excites
considerable comment in political circles. We
understand, also, that the Democrats of New
Hampshire, or a portion thereof, will, in all
probability, taken a similar stand. The resolu
tions adopted at a recent Democratic gathering
at Alfred, Me., indicate a like purpose by the
Anti-republican element in that State.
At this gathering it was declared as the senti
ment of the meeting, tiiat “the reconstruction
of the Union by fo-ce against the embittered
feelings and the united strength of nearly one
haif the States is a pa'pable adsnrdity, and an
utter impossibility, and even if the revolted
States should be overrun and subjugated, they can
be held to their allegiance only by changing our
Government to an unlimited monarchy; aud while
pursuing this delusion of re-uniting the States
by coercion, a standing army has been raised with
out color of law, the freedom of speech has been
abridged, the right of protection of persons by
habeas corpus, the right of safety ill home, papers
and effects, tlie right of petition for redress ol
grievance—all these great constitutional rights on
which our freedom test ate being violated, and
unless aud immediate check be placed upon these
usurpations, no remnant ot our once free govefu-
ntent will remain to us.
Resolved, Tiiat the only end to be attained by
tbe present coercive policy of the Administra
tion is the entire prostration of our commercial,
industrial and material interests, a lasting separ
ation, and an unconquerable bitterness of feeling
between tiie different States, au enormous sacri
fice of blood and treasure, and the complete sub
version of our government.
Resolved, That wo are in favor of a General
Convention of all the States, to take into consid
eration measures for the immediate and amicable
settlement of tbeexistiug difficulties.”

At a meeting of the “Baldwin Volunteers,” held
this evening, Capt. Benj. Beck presiding, tlie fol
lowing preamble and resolutions, reported hy the
undersigned Committee through their Chairman,
were unanimously adopted ;
Whereas, in iiis inscrutable and allwiso provi
dence, the great Ruler of the Universe has seen
tit to remove from our ranks our young and gal
lant fellow-soldier, James DARNELL, and where
as onr own feelings of sad regret at his untimely
en has well as sympathy with his relatives and
friends in this their irreparable loss, call for some
public expression; therefore, be it
Resolved, By the death of James Darnell, a
sad and melancholly gap has been made in our
ranks, ilis soldierly bearing and gallant spirit,
which not even the npproafii of death could chill,
but which would light his eye and flush his cheek
at the sound of the rolling drum, even while tlie
cold death damps were gathering on his brow
to**ther with his cheerful and genial disposition
havbndeared him to every heart, and being the
youngest of our little band, we feel that we have
lost a companion whose place can never be sup
plied.
Resolved, While we mourn with heartfelt sor
row the loss of our comrade, yet there are many
circumstances which tend to soften our grief.
True he is dead : but he died in a cause so just
and true, that those who die in it, are embalmed
as martyr heroes in the hearts of tlieir country
men. His young form reposes silently beneath
the solemn lorests and surrounded by the magnifi
cent scenery of grand old Virginia: but he has
merely been transferred from the ranks of our
Southern armies, whose leaders though brave and
true are stiil of earthly mould, to swell the col
umns ot that great Captain whose mission, pro
claimed in the deep-toned thundeis of the decree
of eternal Omnipotence, is "to forth conquering
and to conquer.” He sleeps iu a patriot's grave,
but his young and gallant spirit is even now wan
dering “o'er fame's eternal camping ground,”
amid the glorious “mahalla of chivalry.”
Resolved, That saddened as we are by tho fall
of this new victim of the reaper Death, we will
still bow with linnib e submission to the will ot
“Him w ho doeth all things well.”
Resolved, That we tender to his afflicted rela
tives our heartfelt sympathies, and assure them
that his death was surrounded by all the ameiia-
tory circumstances w hich kind and willing hands
could give.
Resolved, That the Miliedgeville papers be re
quested to publish the foregoing preamble and
resolutions, and that a copy be sent to the relatives
of the deceased.

Grsnd Jury Presentments.
AUGUST TERM, 1661.
YI7E the Grand Jury of Baldwin county clio-
T » sen and sworn for the present term beg
leave to make the following presentments *.
The .Jail we find neatly and cleanly kept and
in good order, with the exception of ihe root, win
dow sils, and fences around the lot, whieh are
needing repairs, and we respectfully call the at
tention of the Inferior Court to the same.
The roads in Ihe comity are generally in good
order, with the exception of the road leading from
die Oconee River ' Bridge to Green Medltng’s,
which we recommend the Commissioners of said
road to have put in thorough repair.
We would also respectfully call the attention of
the city authorities to the roads of lli9 town
common, particularly the road leading to Mc-
Coinb’s Ferry.
The insolvent list returned hy the Tax Collec
tor has been examined, and allowed, to wit.
$10 57. S*ate, mid $13 31 County tax.
We would earnestly urge the call of a meeting
of tho citizens of this county, on Saturday the
7th day of September next, for the purpose ot
appointing a committee, consisting of one or more
from each Militia District, whose duty it shall be
to solicit funds and necessary articles for the use
and comfort of the sick and wounded soldiers now,
or who may hereafter be in tin* service of onr
country. The necessity for the establishment of
a Hospital at some point in Virginia, to be known
as the "Georgia Ho-qiita!,” is forcibly presented
to the mind of every good citizen, and to establish
and provide all necessary means and comforts for
such a hospital, will require liberal and prompt
action upon the pan of the whole people. Many
ciliz*-ns and counties have put. the ball in motion,
and we feel confident that old Baldwin will not
fall behind in her liberality. And as evidence of
onr sincere desire to contribute to the comfort of
the sick attd wounded soldiers, from onr midst,
we have subscribed one bundled dollars to the
Hospital fund, and we fitrtlier pledge ourselves,
that as long as we have a dollar to give, our gal
lant army shall not suffer for anything.
Our thanks are due. are hereby tendered to the
Ladies of Baldwin, for their patriotic and humane
exertions in procuring funds and clothing for the
support and comfort of our gallant soldiers in the
field, and as Grand Jurors, we pledge ourselves to
aid them in thatmoble and patriotic enterprise.
To our afflicted soldiers, we tender our warmest
sympathies, and trust that a kind Providence will
soon restore them to health and usefulness: and
to onr gallant army we pray that tiie God of hat
ties wilf shield and protect them, and that they
may return safely to their quiet and peaceful
homes.
We tender to iiis Honor, Judge Harris, our
thanks for his able and efficient administration ot
the laws, and commend his patriotic devotion to
the cause of his country.
To Solicitor General Lofton we return our thanks
for his politeness to our body.
We request our presentments to be published in
the city papers.

GENERAL ORDERS, ?
No. 13 )
The Governor and Comniauder-in-Chief directs
the Major Generals, Brigadier Generals, Colonels,
and other officers of the Militia of the State to
take immediate and earnest measures for the bet
ter organization of the Militia within tlieir several
Districts, as required by law. The necessity for
thorough organization is urgent as the period is
approaching when the enemy, no longer deterred
by fears of climate, may aitempt au invasion of
our coast.
The attention of all of the officers of the Militia
is, theiefore, called to the laws regulating the Mil
itary organization of th : State and especially to
thei 1th and loth sections of the Act of 1818;
the 1st Sec of the Act Dec. 20, 1824, and the 3d,
4th and 5th Secs, of the Act of Dec. 22d, 1840.
In pursuance of these enactments the command
ing offieeis of companies will immediately enrol
every able bodied white mHc citizen, as”well as
aliens, between tlie age of eighteen and forty-five
years, except such as are exempt by the laws of
the Confederate States, and of this State, within
his District; and will report the enrolment, by
the tenth of September next, to the Lieutenant
Colonel, or Major commanding iiis Battalion, who
in turn, if not independent hut attached to a Reg
iment, will make a full return of the Batallion to
the Colonel by the 15th of September.
“Home Guards” wi' : be composed exclusively
of exempts l/y hue, and will be incorporated in the
Battalions ot the District in which (hey exist, but
will not be called out except in case of actual ne
cessity. Able bodied men liable to miiitaiy ser
vice, will not be permitted to avoid duty by at
taching tlienist-lves to “Home Companies.”
Generals of Division and of Brigade will see to
the execution of this order, and issue the necessa
ry instructions for filling any vacancies that may
exist within the limits of their commands; (see
Act of Feb. 11th, 1850, p. 770 Cobb’s New Digest:)
that the Divisions and Brigades may be thorough
ly organized and lielJ in readiness to meet any
details or drafts ordered by the Governor. They
will also report by letter to this office, at once,
their post office address, and furnish complete
lists of their stuffs.
By order of the Commander-in-Chief:
