A PROCLAMATION.
BY JOSEPH E. BROWN,
Governor of Georgia.
To the Volunteer Military Companies of the Stale;
rpHE invaders having landed a force upon Hie soil
JL of our sister State of South Carolina mar the boi
lers of Georgia, where they now hold position, aud me
nace the city of Savannah ; und it being thought ud-
able to increase our forces for the defence of the
coast, I issue this my Proclamation, giving notice that
I will accept, in addition to the number of Volunteers
already accepted, the services of the thirty infantry
companies which will first tender their services and
report to me fully armed and ready to march. These
mpauies will be received for six months, unless
sooner discharged.
Each company, to be accepted, must consist of not
less t hull fifty nor more than eighty members, rank and
file, unless ihe statute shall, in the meantime, he cluing
-■I so as to permit a Jgreater number to compose a
•ompany. Each company must be armed with a good
.•ountry rifle or doubt; barrelled shot-gun, or-with a
good military gm,Jit\for immediate are. As unarmed
troops could be of nopervice in the defence of the State-
while tliey would bc|a heavy expense, 1 here state, to
prevent all misapprehension, llmt any Volunteer going !
to the coast without such arm as 1 have mentioned
above will not be received, but will be seat home at
his own expense. It will also be necessary for each
volunteer armed wit It a country rifle, to carry with him
liis bullet moulds, pouch and powder-horn or flask; aud
those armed with uoilble barrelled shot-guns, must each
take with him a powder-horn or flask.
As our homes are in danger, it is hoped that no citi
zen ofthe State, lioiringagood gnu, will hesitate a mo
ment to carry or send it into the service.
Given under my nand and seal of the Executive De
partment, tint 9th day of November, A. 1). 1861,
