■j’je approach oft lie enemy to our seaboard, anl (he
threatened attack on Savannah, calls for prompt ac
tion by the Government and tlie people. Whatever
be the result of the enemy’s attack on the coast, we
jnu-t dive men, armed ns bestthey may be, and plenty
of them, to resi-t his efforts to penetrate the interior
He must be kept in check. Companies armed with
pikes, such as, we are informed, have been made in
Atlanta, and rough bo'.vie knives, such as any blaek-
sm it b can make, would prove formidable in a hand-Lo-
inmd contest. If guns enough cannot be had at once,
let regiments be formed and anned with the pike. In
the hands of brave and strong men, the weapons are
more serviceable than the bayonet. They may be
made to thrust or to cut; our enemy can’t stand against
them. The burning of bridges over the State Road,
ginnrs that there are enemies amongst us, and that
tin- utmost vigilance should be exercised to ferret out
the scoundrels in our midst. Every county should
take its domestic affairs under immediate considera
tion and adopt such stringent police regulations a.-
ui.iv secure its peace and safety. All suspicious per-
g,,i,- should lie closely watched, and, if deemed liSccs
sarv, Committees of safety should be chosen to det.-i
niuic such cases as may be brought before them. Th
times call for determined action. Every good citizen
should come to the rescue.
“Thrsr arc the tiuirs that try tneii’n souls.”
When in the Revolution, the British took New
York, and the American Army was retreating
through New Jersey, Tom Paine wrote an article
on the crisis, and made use of the memorable
wolds that heads this article. The present crisis will
try the souls of the men of Georgia and South Caro.
Jina as severely a- ever were those of our ancestors
in the Revolution. The war cloud, which, for some
time, has been black and threatening in the North,
is now hovering over our coast, and belching
forth its thundering* and lightnings upon oui
very le-ads. Will the people of Georgia and South
Carolina be found equal to the crisis ? We have
strong coniidenco that they will. It is true the
enemy has obtained a temporary foot hold in out
sister State, but that ought not to dismay or dis
hearten us in the least, it we do our duty as
brave men should, but very few of that boasted
army that has now lauded upon our coast, will
ever return to their homes. Their flesh will fat.
ten the Buzzards of the South, and their bones
will be left tc bleach on Southern sands. Men of
Georgia and Carolina, rally and gird yourselves
for the contest. The memory of your ancestors,
and tlie sacred honor of your wives and daughters,
demand that you cleanse the soil of your noble
States from tlie pollution of the invader.
CliajilaiiiM in the 4«corgta Arm) .
We believe there is no provision made for
Chaplains in the Volunteer Regiments of the
State. We profess to be a Christian people, and
surely if there ever was a time when we should
acknowledge our dependence on the God of Bat
ties for help, that time is now. The influence of a
worthy man as Chaplain to a Regiment is of great
importance. He not only has great influence and
cout:ol over the morals of the inert, but he can
be very useful in counselling, and encouraging
the sick and wounded. Indeed, we think the
services of a Chaplain in the army are invaluable,
and should never be dispensed with, when they
can be obtained. Would it not be well for our Leg
islature to make provisions for the appointment
and support of Chaplains in the regiments intend
ed for delence of our sea coast. Many of the
members of the Legislature have sons and other
near relatives in these regiments who may de
sire the consolation and advice of a good tnan,
when suffering from sickness or wounds
The I.auics' Fair.
The Fair held by the ladies of this city and Mid
way, at the Masonic Hali on Wednesday night
last, wa* decidedly a success. If the halls had
beer, larger the comfort of the large company pre
sent would have been greatly enhanced. I he
supper room was arranged with great good taste,
and the tables groaned with good things. 1 his
department was under the charge of several mar
ried ladies of this city, whoso exertions deserve
the highest praise, '1 he saleroom was beautifully
oruameuted with flowers and evergreens; and the
several stands were undei the charge ot pretty
and pleasant young ladies, whose winniug ways
took tlie money out of a fellow s pocket as it by
ntagic.
As the net amount will go to the soldiers, we
need only add that a'l who participated in the Fair
ought to be perfectly satisfied with the result.
Over $609 were received. Five hundred, or
more, of which was clear profit. W e may be par-
tial, but it is our opinion, that our ladies can put
as tine a polish on an entertainment of this kind,
as can be done by those of any town or city in the
Confederacy. They go in to succed aud they
never fail of their mark.
Tlie Rill to prevent .Monopolies ami Sipmi-
Inlionsin Rrendu!nil* and other Articles of
€2c*ia**t'j* 1 I M’ nml Coii*->i5»i»i»tioji.
We have no doubt tlie members of the Legislature
sincerely and houesily desire to protect the people
froai the extortion of speculators. That is all right
and proper; but will the bill now before the Legisla
ture have that ciT.*cl ? Tue effect of this is confined
to two important articles, viz: Wheat and salt.—
There is another article in more geuaral use, especial
ly among tlie poor; that is corn, that this bill does not
touch. We know by experience, that men are dis
posed to speculate in corn as well as wheat. Why,
then is not extortion in the price of corn provided
against? But will the passage of that bill make suit
more plentiful or cheaper ? Tlie bill makes it a misde
meanor for any person to sell wheat or salt for more
than twice as much as me same article could be
bought for a year ago. We believe that wheat was
selling far nearly two dollars per bushel a year ago,
d >uble that amount, or four dollars per bushel, would
be extortion enough iu all conscience, and more than
any man can get for it, so that the prohibition on
wheat minimi.s to nothing. On the other hand, the
bounds set to the price of salt will probably prevent
any from being brought into the market. A year
ago salt was selling in Savannah for less than a dollai
per sack. Merchants are prohibited from selling it for
more than double that amount, or two dollars per
sack. No man can afford to buy salt and bring it here
for two dollars a sack now, and the consequence of
the passage of this law will be, that no more salt will
be brought into the country whilst this law remains in
force, because the price to which it is restricted would
not pay expense. Had we not better let the laws of
trade and public opinion regulate these things. Mer
chants suffer as much or more by the war, than any
other class of citizens. The stay law prevents them
from collecting their debts. Many of the planters
who owe them, will neither pay them in provisions or
Money, anu in all contributions for soldiers or their
their families, they are tlie first called upon to contrib
ute, and they generally give more according to their
Means than any other class. It is very difficult to
regulate the prices of provisions, or any other article
by law, sous not to make Liiiogs worse. If the Legis
lature can reach tlie combinations of companies, torui-
ed to monopolise and raise the price of articles of ue-
eee.*i:y, they will do "well to punish them. Public
opinion and the law of demand aud supply, must regu
late the prices of articles in a great degree. Any at
tempt to fix the price of an article by law, wc tear
will make such articles scarce and more difficult to
obtain. Those Shy locks who attempt to speculate
0u t of the necessities of their neighbors will be put
down and severely punished by an outraged public
opinion.

Three Days Visits the Style.—All visits
to the palace of the Queen of England,
are restricted by custom, to three days—
the first day for the arrival, the second
day for the reception, and the last for the
departure. The Prince of Wales has
rightly observed this practice in his tour
through the United States never stopping
more than three days in any place, unless
Sunday intervened. Many families would
rejoice to have this fashion introduced in
to the Untied StateB.
For the Southern Federal Union.
I.ctter from Vorktown.
November 4. I8G1.
Dun Sir : Although the papers have had us in
several blondv eugag- nients. we have not seen the
enemy ret, though ue aie anticipating that favor
every day, and every night. Alarms are frequent
enough, and we make night and before day light
marcher enough, but up to this time it left been for
no purpose, and done no good except to keep our
men on the alert, aud cure the sick. The idea ot
getting into a tight will cure our sick men, sooner
Ilian all the drugs I can pour into them, will.—
This is no joke. 1 have seen it over and over again:
some brave feilows sicken from inaction—they get
worn out with camp life—get to thinking ot home,
wives and sweethearts, and in a few days they arc
on the s < k list wiih fever. The Surgeon feels
their pulse—looks at their tongue and wisely attri
butes it to malaria Arc., gives his Calomel and Qui
nine—the poor fellows get a little better, but not
well—they remain languid ; indisposed to exertion,
mope about camps, looking for something they
never find, aud so continue for day after day.—
Now let a courier dash up to the Colonel's tent,
with one of these big yellow Envelops in his hand,
let tiie order be given to prepare two day's rations,
and be ready to march at daylight. The change
effected in these very men, who a moment before
appeared almost helpless, is magical; they straight
en up, start off in a brisk walk or run to ’.heir tents,
or camp tires, laughing, joking, aud talking, as it
they never had beeu sick. They aie in le ility sick
no more. Tney have forgotten all their b>d feel
ings iu their eagerness to pitch into t le Yankees.—
I tel! you Volunteers may ntver make regulars,
mere machines, hul they wili'always be on hand,
whenever a foe is to be met, or a battle to be
fought. They dont want to miss a single chance,
and must be sick indeed, when they hold back.—
I knew one instance in which a member of the
cavalry, had been confined to be 1 for several day*
with high fever, and who has since beeu danger
ously ill, that exhiutts well, this spirit in our men.
An alarm was giveii one night—he crawled O' t ot
Lis tent, strapped on his gun and sword, picked up
Lis saddle, and started for his horse. Before he
had g me very far, hu was informed the infantry
alone would turn out, whereupon he got quite mad,
said they told him the cavaliy were going too, aud
they ought to have a showing. He was then so
exhausted, that it was with difficulty he couid get
back to his tent. Now tell tne where you will find
the foe that can conquer such soldiery, or the reg
ulars that will do any harder fighting than these
men will. Ail that our men need is to be shown
the enemy, all they ask is to he allowed a chance
to tight them. If you keep our volunteers back
until they become regulars, their spiiit will he bro
ken, and they will not rush into danger, with the
same alacrity, as they will now. Our Generals are
brave men aud true, and they know what they are
about, and will conduct the war to a sate, and a
glorious termination—a termination that will en
robe our Confederate army in laurels of glory, and
impress a salutary dread of our arms upon our
northern foes; but I do not believe they appreciate
fully the material of which our army is at present
composed. I do not suppose there ever was such
an army ever collected in the world. It is an army
of gentlemen, aye of gentleman. Not poor, igno
rant, dependent men, niring themselves out at so
many doliars a month to be shot at—but the besi
blood in our laud—wealthy men, and sons of
wealthy men, who never knew what want was—
who have lived all their lives iu luxury. Educa
ted men, who are competent to till any position
with credit to themselves. Men of high social
standing aud moral worth. These are they who
have cheerfully left ail tlie comforts of home, and
gone forth to the privations of camp life, as pri
vates—cooking their own food—washing t'ueii own
clothes, and-after laboring all day like slaves, lie
down at night, in their blankets and straw—cr
through rain aud cold walk their lone rounds as
guards to tiiose who sleep. Such is the material ot
our gallant army. These men came tor no idle
display—they came to defend their country against
the low lived hirelings who dare invade it, and they
will defend it, he the odds what they may. I did
not imeiid to expatiate on this subject, but 1 can
never think of it without becoming excited and if
writing, go ahead just as if I thought my views
were original, or especially interesting. But you
are aware, that what I state is true, and that upon
its truth depends in large measure the success of
our arms in this contest. It appears to he a very
general impression that we are to have warm work
here on the Peninsula before the winter is over,
and it may be so, hut every thing however is prob
ably kept secret, and all outside is mere conjee
ture. There is no doubt the enemy arc collecting
a very large force at Fortress Monroe, and New
Port News, and this would be a very desiiable
place lor them to winter at, but I presume they are
well awaie, they will iiavejsome mighty hard fight
ing to do, before they can get possession. We
are ready, and anxiously awaiting iheii visit, when
ever they may deign to make us a call, and we
are fully prepared to give them a warm and hearty
nceptiou—would it not be strange if Yorktown
should witness the dosing scene of another
revolution? Y'ou know that for a long time, 1 be
lieved, there would be another great battle here on
the 18th of October; the anniversary of the defeat of
Cornwallis. It would have been a glorious day
for us if wa couid have met, and overthrown the
millions of Lincoln on the same field, upon which
Washington defeated those of George the Fourth!
Would it not have been a great victory? But 1 atn
writing much mote than I intended. The health
of tlie Legion is gradually improving since the
weather has become cooler. We have had an im
mense deal of sickness, though fortunately the mor
tality has been very small. There is great difficul
ty iu procuring suitable diet for the sick, and
hence convalescence is very slow. Chickens and
eggs (the standard articles in such cases) are ex
tremely scarce, in fact it is impossible to procure
any thing tike an adequate supply. The well,
have an abundance of good beef, but that does noi
suit the feeble digestive powers of the sick. We
are busily at work now building lints for winter
quarters, and if the Yankees dont drive us out,
w nl soon be quite comfortable. It is rather coo
now to be sleeping in tents without tins, and will
he very bad iu a little while. Urge the people all
you can to send as many blankets to the soldicr-
as possible, they are in great need of them, the
government cannot purchase them. Let. the hos
pitals alone until the Soldiers in the field have
been fully supplied. Send contributions direct to
the captains oi companies or Colonels of regiments,
as tiie surest means of getting them where >ou
w ant ihein to go. Let these committees alone —
Each county ought to see to it that their own com
panies arc well supplied with warm clothing and
blankets before tin y extend their beneficence to
others. Uige this matter Sir, every week in your
p iper, aud you will he duing a good work. 1
Know that numbers and numbers have only a sin
gle blanket, and no warmer clothing than then
on.forms. Under such circumstances y ou know
there will be great suffering this winter amongst
our troops. I notice a number of persons ccntiib-
titing blank, ts, and quilts tu the Hospital: all that
does very well, but the sick in those institutions
will be comfortable and warm, when the poor sol
dier in the field will be shivering in the cold. 1
will write you an article ou this subject, if I can
get time which you may publish, hut in the mean
while, I want y ou to keep it before the people that
they may see to it at once. If each county will
contribute an ample supply for their own compa
nies. the work will be done, done effectually. 1
am writing now from personal observation. Tlie
winters here aro very S'vere; it is worse in wes
tern Virginia. Let our people in Georgia see to it
that their volunteers sutler tor nothing that can
contribute to their comfort during the severe
months that are to come. But really l must close,
I have been quite sick for several bays, but am im
proving, and hope in a short time to resume my du
ties.
CTiirknmicoiiiico Again.
Messrs. Editors—I semi you the following letter
from the Adjutant ofthe Third Georgia Regiment, as
a si quel to the one transmitted you a few days ago,
and published in your weekly of the 12th inst. The
present letter is necessary to complete the record of
Yankee prowess on the North Carolina coast.
J.A.T.
Roanoke Island, N.C., }
Oc». 9th, 1861. $
My Dear Brother—A steamer leaves here to-mor
row for Elizabeth City, and since I have so few op
portunities for mailing letters, I will avail myself ot
the present one, although 1 sent you a long pencil scrawl
by Henderson Cogburu, a few days ago. Aly uiind is
still full of our expedition against the Yankees who
w ere encamped at Cliickaimcomico—(this I have as
certained at last iu the orthography)--aud I mustcou-
tinue to luirp ou that. If tlie North Carolinians couid
only have succeeded iu lauding below, und cutting tlie
Yankees off we w ould have captured the whole regi
ment without the loss ot a man on our part. Never
were soldiers more panic-stricken than they were.
The Curiew did steam down the Sound, and the Nortli
Carolinians attempted to wade to land, but encounter
ed a channel of very deep water about half way be
tween the place at which they got iuio the water and
the shore, and had to turn back.
We were told by sonic Islanders that, when the
Yankees saw our troops attempting to land below- them,
they drew upon the beach, and prepared a white ting
for the purpose of surrendering ; but, Beeing the fail
ure to effect a landing, they continued their flight.
Many of them pulled off aud threw away, not odIv
their coats and shoes, but even their pantaloons. If
one of our howitzers had been put on a light draught
boat, schooner, or something of the sort, and run in
close to shore below,tiring two or three shots ahead,
it would have had the same effect as landing troops,
in compelling the enemy to surrender.
The Yankee camp was a little North of where I
lauded, and the fugitives ran South. I went after
them, aud did not visit their camp at all. I have seen
all sorts of private letters, journals, envelopes with
devices on them, daguerreotypes, and almost every
thing you can conceive of, belonging to the Yankees.
Several persons have given me envelopes, but I have
mislaid them. I read two journals which had entries
in them, mude during halts on the retreat. After tlie
entries were made, the owners were so closely pushed,
as to be compelled to throw away every garment that
had pockets; bo they lost their journals.
In my other letter, I failed to make mention of the
gallant conduct of our brave Colonel (Wright.) Being
the officer in command, his duty called him to the Yan
kee camp, after our return to our vessels, and he did
what very few others did—remained on the island till
next morning. And this leads me to speak of au inci
dent which occurred in our pursnit of the enemy. Col.
Wright, as I wrote you before, had procured a horse,
and was riding along some distance ahead of the main
body of the troops. No one at all was immediately in
company with him, though a few soldiers were not
very far off. He, (the Colonel,) saw some men ahead,
just where a point of marsh runs to the road We Were
travelling,and. thinking they belonged to our regi-
■neut, he approached very near, when lie pere ived
thev were enemies. Knowing it would not do to re
treat. iic rushed forward with drawn pistol.calling out,
*’You are my prisoners!” Quick as thought, eleven
Yankee soldiers scattered about in the marsh, leveled
t heir muskets and tired. Hi* horse was shot down and
he himself fell to the ground with considerable, of a
shock. Rising to hi* knees, he leveled his pistol a‘
the nearest man, who ran like a rabbit. lie fired and
missed. The Yankees and he kept up a real skirmish
for some moments, before anyone arrived to his assist
ance. The first man he shot at loaded and fired the
second time, and tried to make a third shot. In the
meantime Col. Wright had caught hold of tae smallest
of the Yankees—(a mere boy)—and made a shield of
his body. Tiie result was, four prisoners were taken,
the other seven men making their escape. The Y j'.ii-
kees must have beeu miserably frightened, judging
from their bad shooting. You will recollect that 1
wrote you that Colonel Wright urged me to get a
horse when wetirst landed, and that I was too impa
tient of delay to attempt it. AVeil.it 1 had got the
horse, I might have been with tiie Colonel in the
scrimmage—but, some how, hick was against me.
If wc had only known the exact situation of the
enemy's camp, and had landed below him, , hut
regrets are useless.
On our return up the islan i, our courage was put to
the severest possible test. It i* generally understood
to require bravery to stand hour after hour, and ex
change galling tire with the enemy on equal terms ;
hut in that instance, one knows that liis chance for
doing mischief is as good as liis foes. To storm a bat
terv, requires still more courage than the first for
one knows that though he may be too far from tae
enemy to reach him when he starts, he will proaablv
soon be near enough to act effectively. To stand ex
posed to cannonading for a certain length of time,
knowing that at some moment the order to advance
will be given, when an opportunity to return the mur
derous fire will be allowed ; this tries tlie nerves;
but we were exposed to a five hours’ shelling, without
being able to reply,and knowing that no opportunity
would ever be allowed us to reply. Some of the offi
cers on our steamers counted over four hundred shot
firt-d at us. No one wasseriously wounded, but it was
new to us, and we expected to be decimated at least :
and to one who knows nothing of such things, it will
appear strange that half of us were not slain.

Respect to the Day.
Friday last was very generally observed
in this city. The public places of busi
ness were closed during the entire day,
and there was nothing in the appearance
of the streets to distinguish the day from
the Sabbath. The religions exercises tvere
united at the capitol—all denominations o
Christians participating. A very large
audience listened attentively and Avith
pleasure to an able discourse from Prof. H.
LI. Tucker, D. D., of Penfield, Georgia,
which will doubtless he published. The
day was beautiful like its predecessors for
a week past, aud a large portion of the
congregation at the capitol was composed
of ladies. It was altogether an imposing
occasion.
Correspondence of the Nashville Union.
Bowling Green, Nov. 6
At this time, every town in the Com
monwealth on the Ohio river, is invested
with Federal 'roops; a large force is con
gregating under Gen. McCook, and tend
ing to this direction along the turnpike
from Louisville; a report reached here to
day that the pickets extend as far south a-
Bear Wallow, which is only twelve mile?
north of Glasgow. Greensburg is again
occupied by two thousand ot the enemy
under General Ward, while others are en
gaged in making efforts to cross Green
River at Munfordville.
General Mitchell, in command of the
Northern Division is receiving troops at
Covington, who are being fonvarded in
the direction of East Tennessee, andrumoi
lias it that General Rosencrantz is to cross
over from Western Virginia into the north
ern part of the State with all the forces
under his command. Again, statements
are being made that tioops are being con
centrated at Jeffersonville and Evansville,
Indiana, whose evident destination is the
interior of Kentucky. Taken in connec
tion with the foregoing, the action of the
last Legislature, aided by a subsidized
press to provoke divided sentiment, which
exists to a lamentable extent, and the oc
cupying of a portion of the State by the
(’unfederates, leaves no room to doubt,
that a fearful storm is impending, and must
soon burst forth, attended with the hor
rors of fierce civil war. General Pillorr
was here last evening, and left again this
morning. Look out for startling rumors.
General L. I* Walker’* Brigade.
General Bragg, who commands both at Pen.«a

Walker that he needed more troops at each o-
those points, Gen. Walker promptly telegraphe'
to the Secretary of War for permission to movi
his brigade, and having obtained it, has ordered
two of liis regiments and a battalion to Pensac.o

Bragg, and where they wiil remain until tlie pres
eutemergt ney has passed—when, so soon as they
can be armed—arrangements tor which are aimos
perfected, they will be concentrated by Gen
AValker, including Col. Judge's regiment, and tin

Mcssis. Editors: As I had the pleas
ure of attending the Fair given in the
Masonic Hall, by the Ladies of Milledge-
ville for the benefit of our sick and wound
ed soldiers, 1 ask the liberty to state.
through the columns of your paper that,
it was in every respect rich, sublime,
beautiful and pleasant. The boquetts,
toys, and the many articles of value of
every kind, exhibited and surrounded as
they Avere, by those whose fair hands
had constructed, and arranged them, could
not fail to have elicited the admiration of
the most casual observer. The entertain
ment Avas well calculated to inspire us
with more zeal in behalf of the cause
thus intended to be benefited, and to
arouse the latent love and admiration of
the most callous and hard-hearted old
bachelor in favor of those lovely and
beautiful young ladies by whom it was
given. I am satisfied, that from the many
articles borne away by gentlemen, that
they succeeded in an eminent degree in
winning the approbation and applause of
all present, and in an especial manner the
young men, if I am allowed to judge by
the many rich specimens placed upon my
table by my honorable colleague. Ladies are
always right and in the right place. May
those worthy matrons long live to enjoy
the fruits of their liberality and kindness,
and those beautiful young Ladies marry
just Avhen, where, and whom they please.
Isiiall not attempt to give a description
of the eating department, satisfied as I
am, that ample justice Avas done to that
subject, at the many and groaning tables
prepared for the occasion.
My thanks to Mrs. Carnes for those ele
gant specimens of Baldwin apples. II.
The Mercury of Tuesday says :
There are no tidings of special interest
from the invaders at Fort Royal. They
seem to he strengthening themselves for
a permanent occupation oi the islank skirt
ing the harbor of Fort Royal, hut have as
yet made no advance in force towards the
main. Our forces are vigorously at work
establishing a line of defences across the
low country, so as to confine the operations
of the enemy to as narrow a compass as
practicable. The headquarters of Genls.
Lee and Ripley are at Coosawhatchie.
These accomplished officers are now busi
ly engaged in locating and building bat
teries at various points, so as to protect
the railroad communication between
Charleston and Savannah. Troops are
also rapidly concentrating to support the
new batteries, and our military line along
the coast is already one of exceeding
strength. The Rutledge Mounted Riflemen
weiS seal; on Sunday to Beaufort, which is
now quite deserted, except by negroes.
This fine corps is charged with the preser
vation of order in the unfortunate town,
and will, besides, perform scouting duty.
Large bodies of troops have also been
stationed on James’s Island, and new bat
teries have been so placed as to sweep the
A’arious entrances to the inland passage
south of Charleston.
We have received, through the courtesy
of a passenger, news from Blufton up to
half past ten o’clock on Sunday night. At
the same time orders had been issued t<-
evacuate the town, and the troops were to
leave the next (Monday) morning for Har-
deeville. The general impression in tlie
camp, when our informant left, was that
Blutton Avould be burned by us before
abandoning it. In the event of the enemy
showing himself upon the main, our Genls.
are prepared to give him a crushing blow.
From the Atlanta Intelligencer.
Speculation and Jloncpoly.
We learn that Judge Bull, in his charge
to the Grand Jury of this county on Mon
day last, called their special attention to
the odious practice of speculation on, and
monopoly ofthe absolute necessaries of life.
The charge, ve are told, was a most im
pressive one, and will doubtless draw from
the Jury such a respouse as tlie condition
ofthe country, and tlie sufferings of the
poorer classes under the monstrous combi
nations that now exist, to rule the prices
of provisions, imperatively demands. We
had hoped to be favored with it for pub
lication, but the time ofthe court has been
so occupied, that we have beeu disppointed
in receiving it. We have, however, be
fore us a similar charge, which Ave find in
an exchange and to Avhich Ave call the at
tention of our readers. It came from Judge
I. L. Harris, of the Ocmulgee Circuit, to
the Grand Jury of Wilkinson county, at a
recent session of the Superior Court of
that county, and is thus reported to the
Macon Telegraph, by a correspondent of
that paper:
In passing, he dealt a heavy' bloAv at
those persons who were taking advantage
of the necessities of the people and the
hardness ofthe times to speculate upon
the misfortunes of' their countrymen, by
purchasing up all the cloths, provisions
and other articles of prime necessity, and
lidding on to them until exorbitant prices
could be realized. He advised the peo
ple to mark the men, who thus impelled
by such an avaricious spirit, should so far
forget patriotism and duty to country' as to
fatten and prey upon the wants of the
people in time of war, to remember them
in times of peace, and put the brand of
public detestation upon all who indulge
in these practices. He spoke also of others
who were prowling about the country re
presenting themselves as agents of the
Confederate States for the purchase of
supplies, and buying up stocks and then
selling them out at enormous profits.
These men he justly characterized as
cheats and swindlers, and said they should
be dealt with by the strong arm of tlie law.

lations existing between them ; and whereas, the
Central Board iu Augusta has made arrangements
with the Confederate States Government, to carry

ernment paying one half and the Association the
other half of the express freight; and whereas, the
Central Boaid in Augusta is keeping a book, con
taining a record of all contributions from Georgia,
with the names of the donors, whether such con
tributions are made in money or stores, which
book is intended to he liereatter published ; and
whereas, it is thought to he the best system to se
cure union and concert of action, and to prevent
wastage; Therefore, be it
Resolved, That all contributions are recom
mended to he made direct to the Central Board
of the Georgia Relief and Hospital Association in
Augusta.
Resolved, It any contributions are made direct
to the Georgia Hospital in Richmond, or else
where in Y'irgitiia, that said contributions, wbetL*
er iu money or in Hospital stores of all kinds, be

lief and Hospital Association in Richmond, Mr. J.
M. Selkirk, as money or Hospital stores contri
buted to the Georgia Relief and Hospital Associa
tion, to be applied by said Association through
their agent aforesaid, as the wants of the Hospital
may demand.
Resolved, That an address be drawn up and
presented to the people of Georgia, signed by the
Board of Managers in Richmond, and the Execu
tive Committee ofthe Georgia Relief and Hospi
tal Association in Augusta, setting forth more
fully the objects of our Association, and calling
upon the people of Georgia to send all their con
tributions through the Central Board in Augusta.
Resolved, That this preamble and these reso
lutions be signed by the Executive Committee of
the Georgia Relief and Hospital Association, and
by the Board of Managers in Richmond.

A PROCLAMATION.
BY JOSEPH E. BROWN,
Governor of Georgia.
To the Volunteer Military Companies of the Stale;
''■1HE invaders having lauded a force upon the soil
1 of our sister State of South Carolina near the bor
ders of Georgia, where they now hold position, and me
nace the city of Savannah ; and it being thought ad
visable to increase our forces for tlie 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 wili first tender their services and
eport to me fully urmed and ready to march. These
ompanies will be received for six monthB, unless
sooner discharged.
Each company,to be accepted, must consist of not
less than fifty nor more than eighty memfien, rank and
tile, unless the statute shall, in the meantime, be chang
ed so as to permit a greater number to compose a
company. Each company must be armed with a good
country rifle or double barrelled shot-gun, or with a
.jood military gun.Jit for immediate use. As unarmed
troops could be of ho service in the defence of the State
while they would be a heavy expense, I here state, to
prevent all misnpprehcusiou, that auy Volunteer going
to the const without such arm as I have mentionea
above will not he received, but will be sent home at
lis own expense. It will also lie necessary for each
volunteer armed with a country rifle, to carry with him
his bullet moulds, pouch and powder-horn or flask; and
those armed with double barrelled shot-guns, must each
take with him a powder-horn or flask.
Asonr homesarein danger, it is hoped that no citi
zen of tlie State, having a good gun, will hesitate a mo
ment to cany or send it into the service.
Given under my hand and seal of the Executive De
partment, this tith day of November, A. D. 1861,
