Our duty to the O.rernusent.
,1 ^ ar ° °ftcn astonished to hear men speak of
m ar in which we are now engaged as a trivi
al mattii, and to .see oth-rjact as though there
'as soma royal road to peace, which they expect-
• Mr ene.als nnJ brave soldiers to find, with
u t» eir an —their money or their strong arms
•v 0 Lankly tell all such, that we can see r,o pros-
p et of an early peace: and we as frankly tell
t i.m that if they cherish the hope of peace*with
out pecuniary loss to themselves, they are wofully
mistaken. It matters not what might have been
done in the past to have avoided this war. It
nutters not what may t,<- the merits of this revo
lution—whether right or wron
we are all “in for it note
our blood alone can carry us safely through it.
1 ho Tax gatherer must be paid. The sinews of
War must bo supplied, and promptly too. Men
rn ght as well pay their taxes cheerfully, for there
is no way to avoid their payment. It is folly to
-say “I have no money to pay my taxes.” Men
who have anything to sell can get money, and
sell at first rate prices. The decision of the issue
upon us involves all we have—all we hope to
have. Money, property, liberty, happiness, life
its. i , all are at stake. Tiie miser who gloats over
his buried treasures, will be as poor as the poorest
if the issue goes against us. The man who hoarJs
his gains from extortion, or legitimate and hon
orable trade, has as much at stake as the man
w hose means are put to tli" severest test to pro-
•ide daily support for bis family Ail of us are
embarked in the same boat. We must be all
-aved iogetber, or share a common ruin. The
man who plants only cotton, and the man who
plants tobacco, or sugar; the Merchant, the Gro
car, the Banker, the Speculator, all have a com
mon interest at stake, and must all suffer or pros
per together. Neither class can or should expect to
escape the burthens impc- 1 by the War, or seek
to withhold tlieir just from the Govern
ment to enable it to p j the War with vig
or to a successful issue. uere can be no step
bickward now. “He that dallies isadastard.be
that doubts is damned ” Those who cannot give
personal services to the country must open their
differs and give liberally of their wealth. The War
is not ended by the few victories our brave meu
lave achieved over the enemy. Indeed the ene
my is stung and maddened by defeat, and is now
preparing immense fleets in Northern harbors to
send down upon our coast this winter, to invade
tire Gulf States and carry desolation, distress and
ruin over this fair land We must not look to
England or France for help. Tney are broken
reeds to lean upon. Our own brave hearts, strong
arms, and inexhaustible iesouro'3, must be our
great reliance.
Let the fanner or planter who has any life sus
taining article for man or beast which he can pos
sibly spare from his cribs, bring it to market
Buyers are plenty, and high prices will be paid.
Let him pay his taxes from a part of the proceeds
of his sales ; State, county, and Confederate. The
cotton cannot now be sold, except in small quan
tities. If it never can be sold, which is hardly
probable, the planter will not be so unwise as to
cover his land with it any longer, but will devote
ois time and his labor to the cultivation of more
profitable crops. But the idea we started out
to impress on the reader is, that the Governmsnt
must have money to carry on the War, and oui
people should cheerfully pay all taxes required of
hem. We will save more iu two years after we
•onquer a peace, than the whole war will cost the
Toveiument. We are loaning the Government
our means, which will be restored to us with com-
•ouiid interest. If no more patriotic view than
his be taken of the subject, it is sufficient to bring
■veil the most dilatory man up to the measure of
bis duty and the requirements of the law. It is
true that it will bear hard upon many to pay their
tsxes during the War; but tbe rich man ought
not to complain while he sees the poor man suf
fering for the necessaries of life. All must suffer ;
some more than others, but in what a noble
cause!
This War has just begun. We are getting to
that period in its history when the Lincolnites
have boasted we would get sick and weary of it.
We are just beginning to find out that we are in a
fate of War. Some articles we have all al<n>»; had
without difficulty, cannot now be had for “love or
money,” and many other articles, heretofore ac
•essihle to the poor even, such as coffee, meat,
candles and sugar, are becoming luxuries on the
tables of the comparatively rich, many of whom
have abandoned the uso of them entirely, or use
them in moderation. We must suffer still more :
but if onr people are true to themselves and their
country ; if they will dedicate their lives, tlieir for
tunes and their sacred honor to its defence; this
lark cloud of war will soon pass away, and the
blessed sunlight of peace will break in upon ns
and gladden our hearts with plenty and prosper-
.ty; and we will have built up a Nation greater
and grander, in all the elements of true Civiliza
tion and Religious Liberty, than any upon which
the Sun now shines.
I-'or Oongrc**.
We place the name of Hon. A. II. Kenan at the
bead of our columns, for Congress in the 4 th Con
gressional District. Col. Kenan is our pres
ent representative. He has been with the
Government in its formation, and we see no reason
why he should not be elected to (ill the same seat
now that the Government has become fully or
ganized. His ability is admitted,and so far as we
have beard, no objection lias been urged on tbe
score of inefficiency or inattention to the duties of
iiis post. Wo do not offer his name as the can
didate of any party, or because he was nominated
by a Convention. We do so because we believe
him qualified, and for no other reason.
A grnllc hint to our SubMrribrrs.
We would kindly remind those of our subscri
bers who iiapp-'n to lie a little behind hand with
ns. that they will have a safe and convenient
chance to send us up a dollar or two by their
members, and others coming to the Legislature.
We mention this not in the nature of a dun. We
never dun anybody, and wo despise dunning;
but the times are hard with us, as well as others.
We have to pay cash for paper, ink and labor,
and the only way that any of us can live through
these hard times, is to help each other. Every
planter or farmer that has provisions of any kind
to sell, can get the money for their provisions,
and then they can pay their Mechanics. Mer
chants. and even their Printers, if they please
We make these suggestions for those that are hon
est, and disposed to do right. Whilst the Stay
Law is iu force, there is no way of making any
but honest men pay tlieir debts. We do not ex
pect those that are dishouest will try to pay us,
or anybody else, whilst the Stay Law is in fash
ion. So these hints are not intended for them,
and we do not expect them to pay any attention
to what we say. In fact we do not write for tlieir
benefit, it is only for the wise, the good, and the
honest that we labor. Every patriotic and good
man wants to have the news in these exciting
times, and we hope all such will continue their
subscriptions, whether they pay us now or not.

Atlanta Intelligencer.
In this article the Intelligencer has done injustice
to the facts, and unwittingly, to Gov. Brown-
Gov. Brown did not remove his headquarters to
AtlantaV'owing to tb'. necessities of the public
service.” Gov. Brown was in bad health and
went to his mountain home to recruit, and to save
those persons who ha I business with him. from a
tedious ride to Canton Ga , he concluded to make
his headquarters at Atlanta. It wa3 charged in
this place, pending the election, that Gov. Brown
had moved the capital of the State to Atlanta.
We denied it and gave the true reasons why he
was located at Atlanta. But even with this expla
nation, Gov. Brown lost a great many votes in
this county. We are happy to see the Governor
a* the Capital of the State looking better, and if
his health permits lie will spend the next two years
at this place. Our friends of the Intelligencer
m ist not take the capital away from us just yrt.
We have a little war business on hand just now.

Aio Parties—A KriuarU:ittlc Coiiirirfcurr.
Se.veral of our contemporaries who are contin
ually shouting that old parties are a:l done away,
are very busy nominating candidates for Presi
dent of the Senate and Speaker of the House —
Now it so happens that those papers making these
nominations all belonged to the old Whig and
Know Nothing school, when it was fashionable to
have such parties, and what is still more remark
able, all of the men tlioy nominate for high offices,
also once belonged to the same old parties. This
is eery remarkable.

purposes before named, and who would put it in
circulation if they could get it. Once in circula
tioii, it would go from one to another, and pay ma
ny debts and relieve much suffering. But the
stay-law, in its present form, enables those having
it, to hold and speculate on it. (shaving notes and
buying property at a great sacrifice to the owners j
and to realise large profits on it, while they are on
ly paying? pr et to the needy creditor. The law
does not relieve the man who is compelled to raise
money. It is true, his creJitor cannot levy upon
his property and sell it at a sacrifice, bnt that does
not stop his children from crying for meat, when
it can only be had for the cash which lie is unable
to get from his merciless debtor, neither does it
pay his taxes, or exempt his property from selling
for it. To meet these straits, he has to subject
himself to the money lender and extortioner, and
make as great sacrifices, perhaps greater, than he
would to let his property go upon the block. But
say you, the little money that is among the peo
ple will not pay all the indebtedness, and if yon
allow executions to be levied, they will be sold
out and ruined. Well, I will suppose you are right
though it is not quite certain that volt are. for our
debts, that art- collectable now, are altogether do
mestic, and a small sum of money will pay from
one debtor to another throughout the country, un
til many hundreds will be said by it, and it will
still be in circulation, and undiininislied in amount.
But I will admit your proposition,which will brings
me to the remedy which I propose. Almost any
man, by exerting himself can raise ten, fifteen,
twenty or even twenty five percent of his indebt
edness per annum, without making sacrifices, or
being greatly incommoded.
Now what I propose, is, to modify the stay law,
so that any man, by paying to each of his credi
tors li), 15, 20 or even 25 per cent per annum, of
his indebtedness, shall be entitled to a stay of exe
cution, freedom from arrest, &c. for and during the
war, unless he shall seek to remove beyond the
reach of the process of the Courts, or to remove
his property Ac, Or I propose, that each debtor
pay what he is able to pay. to each of his credi
tors in equal proportion, and that upon his fifing
an affidavit in the Clerk's office to that effect, he
be entitled to a stay of execution, and to freedom
from arrest Ac, unless fraud is alleged and proven
for the space of six or twelve months, and that he
hive the privilege of renewing the stay at the end
of the time by renewing the payment aud nffid*
vit. T his last plan I think best, as it would im
pose upon no one more than he is able to perform,
and would oblige such as are able to pay, to pay
the full amount of their indebtedness, and would
greatly relieve the country. The sums so paid
over and put in circulation, will pay many small
pj 0 I debts, such as are due to poor men, in full, and

Thr Ki-<;n(«tralioii Act.
The following Resolutions were adopted by the
Commercial and Financial Convention at Macon
Ga., touching the Sequestration Act adopted by
the Provisional Congress.
Whereas, by the laws of nations debts due to
alien enemies are suspended, and bear no interest
during the continuance of war.
Resolved therefore, That in the oppiuion of this
Convention, the Sequestration act adopted by the
Confederate Congress at is recent session should
not require the payment of debts due by our citi
zens t" alien enemies during the existence of the
war: but that it should require only the evidence
of the indebtness to be returned and placed upon
record by the receiver, without security deman
ded and taken for the ultimate payment of the
same.
That in eases wherein the debtor to an alien
enemy is also a claimant of indemnity for dam
age sustained by the act or non of th® govern
n.ent «f the United States, or of the people there
of, the said claim shall be allowed as an offset, and
the balance only shall be the subject of pay
ment.
That we respectfully recommend to the Con
federate Congress such alterations in or additions
to the Sequestration act as may be necessary
to authorize the Confederate Courts to enquire
into the lioua Jide ot every transaction of our
own citizens with alien enemies between
the 21st day of May, l^Gl, and the date of the
passage of that act, and to protect from the oper
ations of the act those engaged in such transac
tions, whose dealings with the enemy
were of manifest benefit to the people or the Gov
ernment ofthe Confederate States,or free from taint
of disloyalty.
That the Government of the Confederate States
having assumed the place of the alien creditor ot
the Confederate debtor, should stand ou the same
footing with all other creditors.
That this Convention further recommend to
tbe Congress of the Confederate States, such
modification of the Sequestration Act as may
be requisite to exempt from its operation the prop
erty ot persons resident in the States with which
we are at war, who are laboring under the disa
bilities of coverture or infancy, and consequently
unable, though desiring it, to charge their dom
icil, and who are not actually enemies to the
South.
TO TIIF. VOTERS OF TIIE SECOND
CONCRESSIONAI, DISTRICT.
At the request of citizens from different portions
of the district I announce mjself as a candidate
for the Confederate Congress from this, the SE
COND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. In do
ing so, I am fully mindful that a candidacy for
ciril office in this time of onr country's peril is far
from being a desirable position. But as our civil
as well as military affairs must have attention,
and as the people of the district must have a rep
resentative, I conceive it a duty I owe many good
citizens who have so requested, to place my name
at their disposal. Believing that at a crisis like
the one upon us, electioneering is improper. I
shall not cativa-s tiie district, and shall do nothing
to promote my success, except to make my candi
dacy known, and to repel attacks if assailed. I
deem it unnecessary to make any exposition ot
my political opinions, as there is now no division
of sentiment among the people of Georgia. All
are engaged in the great work of our “deliverance
and linerty.” In view, however, of the restora
tion of peace, which will never happen until the
Southern people take their stand among the na
tions of the earth, I deem it proper to say I am a
State Rights man in the strictest sense of the term,
and if elected shall vigilantly watch and oppose
with all my capacity, every attempt by Congress
to exorcise power which is not clearly granted in
the Constitution. In every place of public, eonti-
tlence with which the people have honored me, 1
have adhered rigidly to this rule of political ac
tion. Its violation is the can«e of the dissolution
of the Union, and taking warning by experience,
it should be the constant effort of every lover of
his country to see that none of the errors of the
old government creep into the new. It is my earn
est wish that the present cessation of political feel
ing and animosity shall always continue, and that
the citizens of the Confederate States shall vie
with each other only in making our nation the
best and strongest among her rivals.
Having explained myself as far as seems neces
sary, I submit the question to the voters of the
district. If I should be elected, I shall feel honor
ed as any man should be, with the confidence of
the enlightened and patriotic people ot this dis
trict. If I should not, I shall be gratified that the
district has a “worthier son” than l. It is in this
spirit towards the people and my worthy competi
tors, that my candidacy shall begin and end.
22 It. RICHARD H. CLARK.
For the Southern Federal Union.
IRWINTOX. Ga., Oct. 14th, ISfil.
Messrs Editors: As the next session of the Leg
islature is near at hand, aud it is likely some ac
tion will be taken in that body in regard to the
re-enactment, and continuance of the stay-law
during the existence of the war, I thought I would
ask a small space in your widely circulating jour
nal, in which to give a few of my views on that
important subject.
At the time the Bank-suspension and stay-law
was passed, I did not agree with the Legislature
that the necessity then existed for the passage of
such a law; and although the time lias now arriv
ed when something should be done to relieve the
people from their embarrassments, I do not think
this can be done so effectually by tbe re-enact
ment- of the law as it now stands, as by its pas
sage in a somewhat modified form.
In this part of the country, there is but little
money in circulation, and 1 presume this is tbe
case pretty much through the Confederacy, with
the exception, peihaps, of Virginia and the bor
der States, where a brisk trade is kept up in Army
supplies, soldiers clothing &c., which makes mo

which tbe people, generally, are compelled to raise
money. T he State, county and Confederate—State
Taxes, and taxes for the support of the wives and

To Ihe Voters of the First Congressional
District.
Fellow-Citizen: The Convention which assem
bled at Biackshear, on the fith inst., did me the
honor to nominate me as a candidate to represent
the First Congressional District in the First Con
gress of the Confederate States under the perma
nent Constitution.
1 have accepted the nomination, and am be
fore you as a candidate for your suffrages.
It lias been the custom heretofore for a candi
date for Congress to visit thc-differcnt portions
of the District, and meet his fellow.citizens in
person, in order that he might make them ac
quainted with the political principles he profess
ed, or the line of pirrypi! icy he would pursue
intheevent of his election. Adue inspect tor
the people he desired to represent rendered such
a course highly proper; and the requirements of
party made it expedient. Even now, when all
parly lines have been obliterated, and a whole peo
ple stand united in the same cause, and with all
their energies directed to the attainment of but
one object—Independence,—defereueo to the nat
ural desire of the constituent to become person
ally accquainted with his Representative, would
induce me to visit, in person, the different Conn
ties of the District, were I not prevented from do-
in so by circumstances over whic h I have no con-
trol.
For sometime past T have Loan, snJ I otill am,
in the military service of the country. It will
not be necessary tor me, if elected. to take my
scat in Congre-sjuntil the last of February next
But in the meantime, it would be improper and
highly reprehensible in me to leave the post
which has been asssigned me, at a time when an
attack upon our coast is most to be apprehended
I feel assured, therefore, that my fellow citizens of
the District, when they learn the cause which in
duces me to forego the pleasure of visiting them
in person, with excuse, what might otherwise ap
pear to be, a want ot respect for themselves. As
there are no principles of party politics involved
in the pending election there can be no difference
of opinion between my opponent and myself. No
tiue Southern man can now advocate anv othi r
policy than one which looks to the attainment of
a permanent and final srjiaratiun from iho North
Any other course, any other desire even, would
be a betrayal of tne confidence reposed in him, an
insult to the memory of the dead who nave sac
rificed themselves to secure our independence,
and should bring down upon the head of him
who advocates or desires it, tbe cursts of the
parents, widows and orphans whose dearest
hopes and affections have been offered up upon
the altar of their country’s liberty. As to what
political question will arise after the attainment
of our independence, it would be premature now
lo sp“ak. T he course that your Representative
should then pursue as to our internal policy or
foreign telaiioris, must be left to time to devel
op.
Should you elect my opponent to tbe position
to which I aspire. I shall bow in respectful sub
mission to the popular will: feeling confident
that the Representative of your choice will
bring to the discharge of the duties dovolving
upon him, a high toned integrity and a spirit of
patriotism in which I can claim no superiority
over him. If, on the other hand, it should be
your pleasure to ratify the action of the late
Convention, and make me your Representative
iu Congress, I can only promise you that what
ever of intellect I may possess, all my energies,
all my efforts, shall be used and directed to sub
serve the interest of the District, the State, and
the Confederacy.
Vour fellow-citizen,
Julian IIaktp.idge.
The fight ou Mania Roaa Island—Iuterrst-
iug particulars.
Extracts of a. letter from S. S. Camp
bell to his father, Rev. J. II. Campbell,
of Griffin.J
We marched down to the wharf, where
we waited for the steamer from the Navy
Yard, which brought over a thousand
troops. Our detachment of two hundred
men (from the 5th Georgia Regiment at
Pensacola,) went on board a scow and
were towed over to Santa Rosa. We
landed about 1 a. m., and separated into
three detachments—one taking the north
ern beach, one the southern, and the other
the centre of the Island. We then
marched along noiseless!j about five miles
before we encountered the first sentinel.
1 was with the right wing. We fired the
first gun. The sentinel challenged, and
war, fired at by our advance guard. He
returned the fire, the ball whistling above
our heads. In an instant he was shot
down, pierced by three or four balls.—
Strange to say, the next sentinel did not
hear the firing, for he did not repeat the
alarm. We took him prisoner. By this
time, a portion of our wing and the centre
detachment were in the camps of Billy
Wilson's Zouaves, burning and destroying
everything. We had surprised them, and
they retreated iu consternation and confu
sion to tlte Fort. I was then “going it on
my own hook,” and was within two hun
dred yards of Pickens. Here I met up
with the Mississippians and joined them in
the retreat.
You see our object was to destroy their
camps, run them into the Fort, spike their
batteries on the beach and retreat. All
this we accomplished, and were retreating
in good order jun at day break, and yet
no gun opened from our Forts. In our re
treat we were attacked by twenty or
twenty five men of Wilson’s crowd, who
did terrible work with their Minnie rifles.
We saw them when they rose up from
their ambuscade, and challenged them.
They gave our ‘countersign’ and we said,
‘All right,friends,’ As soon, however, as
we became exposed to their view, . they
turned loose a dreadful fire on us, killing
our men in every direction. I was stand
ing by the dead bodies of two of the
•Clinch Rifles,’ trying to get some of the
i Regulars to assist me in carrying them off. J
j Three of them came accordingly, when
I the enemy tired a ■volley, killing all three
| of them. I reckon twenty balls whistled
around my head at that instant. I began
to think my turn would come next. So I
concluded to do what I could : I stood up
and loaded my gun, and capped it, while
the bullets whizzed about me like hail
stones, I then dropped down behind a
sand hank, when a ball passed just over
my head, knocking the sand in my face.
Looking over the bank, I saw one of the
poor wretches peeping from behind a hush,
I laid my gun in the furrow made by the
ball which had just passed over me, took
deliberate aim and fired. The poor wretch
sunk down without a struggle.
Just then Lieutenant Nelms command
ed us to charge. About forty of us rushed
forward, but the enemy were running and
iiring. Lieut. Nelms fell mortally wound
ed. I squatted behind a small bush and
watched my chance. Presently I saw one
of them running along in a stooping pos
ture, from one bush to another, I fired up
on him, when he sprang into the air as
high as my head, and fell dead. Just at
that instant, one of them made a rush from
behind a bush at one of our men who was
near me, when I clubbed my musket and
felled him to the ground. The man upon
whom he was charging sprang upon him
and finished him with his Bowie knife.
The person who killed Lieut. Nelms met
with a similar fate. We tried to cut oft'
their retreat, hut they knew the ground
better than wc did, and outran us.
The main portion of our troops were
now returning rapidly towards our boats,
according to the original plan. 1 found a
man, belonging to the Alabama State Ar
tillery, lying wounded on the beach. 1
found a mule, on which I placed him, and
in this way conveyed him four miles to
the boats. I got him home safe, and he is
now doing well, though he is shot through
the neck-
I then got on board the steamer and
went on the upper deck. The enemy
had followed, and were again blazing away
at us from the beach with their Minnie li
lies, sending a shower of shell around us.
Gen. Anderson was standing near me,
when he was wounded in the arm by a
ball, which, however, is not considered se
rious. Thus ended the skirmish.
Capt. Maugham [of the Griffin Light
Guard,] had command of the left wing,
and sustained his post nobly. He took
three prisoners, one of whom was the Lt.
Col. of the Zouaves. He also brought off,
as trophies, a musket and a fine sword.
Not one of our company received a
scratch.
Since the fight, I am told by a member
of the McDuffie Rifles, that one of the en
emy was in the act of bayoneting me from
behind, when he shot him dead,. I am
more and more impressed that (Jo:t rules.
I feel thankful that He preserved my
life.

the full loss on our part, cf killed, wound
ed and missing, to be 72.

CAMP JACKSON. VA.. October 9, 1861.
At a called meeting of the Baldwin Blues, held
on Monday evening the ?th inst., Lieut. Samuel
McConib in the chair, a committee was appointed
to prepare Resolutions relative to the death of pri
vate Walter B. Cushing, which committee subse
quently reported the following, which were unan
imously adopted:
Whereas, This Company is again called to mourn
the loss of one of its members in the demise of pri
vate Waiter B. Cushing, who died at the Naval
Hospital, near Portsmouth, Va , on Friday morn
ing, the 4th inst., of typhoid fever, aged 17 yeats;
it becomes our mournfully pleasing duty to give
some public expression of onr feelings on the sad
occasion, llimselt a native Georgian and the de
scendant of Southern horn ancestors, his young
heart tired with just indignation against the op
pressors of his native land, and he laid his services
and his life a willing and patriotic sacrifice on the
altar of his Country's wrongs. Modest aud retir
ing in his disposition, iie had no ambitious aspira
tions to subserve, but sought solely to promote his
country's weal. Acheertuland pleasant compan
ion, and prompt and efficient in the dischxige of
his duties as a soldier, his loss will be deeply felt
by every member of this Company, and many oth
er friends; while to bis surviving parent and other
relatives iu Milledgevilie, the intelligence of his
decease, has brought such an overwhelming sense
of keen distress, as time, and the consolations of
Divine Grace, alone can assuage.
Be it therefore Resolved, that in the death of
Private Walter B Cushing, while as a Company
we would submissively acknowledge the Divine
authority, wc nevertheless deeply lament the loss
of a worthy companion, and a patriotic and faith
ful brotherin-anns.
Resolved, That our warmest sympathy and con
dolence are hereby tendered to the bereaved rela
tives of the deceased; and the Secretary is instruct
ed to transmit a copy of these proceedings to the
bereaved family.
Resolved, That these proceedings be entered on
the minutes of this Company, and that the News
papers of Milledgevilie, be requested to publish
the same.

Grand Jury Presentments.
OCTOBER TERM IS6I.
T HE Grand Jurors sworn, chosen and selected
for the County of \Tilkinson, at thecouclu-
sion of the short service of the present term, beg
leave to make the following general Present
ments :
We have, through appropriate Committees, ex
amined the Books and Records in the Ordinary
and the Clerks of the Superior and Interior
Courts, aud ri d their, neatly and correctly kept,
reflecting great credit upon those officers. The
Books of the County Treasurer, have also been
examined, and can say the same of that officer
We find in the hands of the Country Treasurer, a
balance of $1,1(10 41, with orders unpaid, amount
ing to $1,104 02. Among the s„id amounts un
paid, is the sum of §224 02, due alien enemies,
and which, under the Sequestration Act of the
Confederate Congress cannot be paid.
We find the Roads and Bridges in very good
order except the Sand Bed Bridge and the Light
wood Knot Bridge.
The Jail is unsafe and insecure, arid wholly
unfit for the purpose for (which it was intended.
Without any further recommendation, we call the
attention of the proper authorities to this impor
tant matter, trusting that they will use their best
discretion in remedying the evil. The Court
House is iv very good condition, and we recom
mend no repairs.
We call upon our Senator and Representative,
in the uext General Assembly, to use their efforts
in securing theNcnactineiit of a general statute,
levying a lax upotl the whole people of the State,
for the purpose of raising a fund for the support of
the families ot destitute soldiers, who have gone,
or may hereafter go to\he war.
The eloquent and patriotic sentiments of His
Honot, on the unjust waK. which is now being
waged upon the people of thKSonth, and the duty
which every patriot owes his Country in this great
cri-is, meets with a hearty response from this
body. We adopt his language, arid say our in
dependence must be achieved. We particularly
commend that poition of his lienor’s charge,
which denounces that feeling which instigates
some men “We hope there are none such iu the
County of Wilkinson to speculate upon the wants
and necessities of the Country, and especially of
the brave and seif-sacrificing soldiers who have
gone foith to fight the battles of our invaded
country. Let us be generous, and instead of
speculating, do all we can to sustain this war aud
the noble men who are engaged in it.”
In taking leave of His Honor, we tender him
onr thanks for the able, impaitial and dignified
manner in which he lias as usual discharged the
duties of his position. He is worthy the confi
dence and respect of the whole circuit, who are
fortunate in having such a Judge.
We also return our thanks to our very efficient
Solicitor, W. A. Lofton, for the able manner in
which he has performed his duties, and also for
the kindness and courtesy shown this hodv.
