’< oii'*i>o.iid iiT of Iho Southern Fnlfrpriw.
Camp Jaspbe, Dec. 3, 1861.
Some of our friends inJlFhomas have ex
■ pressed a desire to hear from us through the
Enterprise every week as a moans vffgeßeral
information concerning the ccmpafly, rakflx in
some degree to supercede the necessity of ad
dressing letter.'?of enquiry to individual mem
. bers.- Hereafter, therefore, we will qndeavur
to furnish you a brief article each week, lo
furnish all the detail in which we interest our
sehys would neither be practicable to us or en
tertaining to the readers of the paper; but our
time may afford suchMtems as win satisfy them
as to our whereabouts and condition with a re
inark or two as to the. condition of things.
The old Race Course, or “Camp Jasper,” as
we have dubed if on acoounttof our pwximity
tn Jasper Spring, where Jasper and Newton
rescued the prisoners in the revolution, is a
more pleasant place to camp than we at first
thought, and. now that we have bat rOne regi*
ment and a battalion within the enclosure, we
breathe freeiHiad feel safer from disease. The
regimeuUa)f our brigade Tiave been
removed to convenient places where, like our
selves, they await orders to march against the
enemy. By the my, the Bavafinah papers say
the enimy has evacuated Tybee, or withdrawn
all hiS forces from, thfc Island except, perhaps,
only a sufficient number to man such batteries
as he may have erected for itseffeetual defence.
This does not seem to me to be an evacuation,
but .the reports werd not positive of the facts
stated- We learned a few days ago
Lee expressed a determination to attack them
qu Tybee, aud our G eor ts' :v )
expected to- participate in the fight; bdt we
are still in expectationjnthdttt acknowledge to
day of what we will be ordered to do to-mor
row. 1 Gen. fiarrison smdtruTned hll the com
manding officers of 4hi .brigade to meet him
• in consultatiotTone day last Week, and we were
informed that our .services were requested., as a
voluntary offering on our part, sr> assist Gen,.
Lawton to expel the enemy from Tybee. Gen.
L. or his representative was to be present with
V BR VAN a BEIVKAI i
v Proprietor*. J
the necessary information, plans us arrange
ment, <&c.; but nobody came and we were dis
missed. Asa key to the dilatoriucss of things
here, and the inactivity bf the Georgia armv, [
may state that a seeming jealousy is said to ex
ist between the commanding officers of the
Confederate and Geor-ia armies. I do not
know this to be true, b.ut I do know that be
tween them there has yet been nothing done
for the defence of the State. The Confede
rate officers arc in command of all the posts of
defence and have the direction of affairs wheth
er they have beeu good or had, anu the State
troops have not been taken into consideration.
The evacuation of Tybee by Gen. Lawtpn has
been much condemned since Gen. Lee Said it
must be taken, and the few interested citizens
of Savannah are very anxious to hear of jfn as
sault upon the Island. Some troops have been
taken down ttf Fort Pulaski, but further than
this it is not proper now to speak.
The officers of this regiment have to-day
been discussing the bill introduced and about
to pass the Legislature providing for the trans
fer of all the State troops to the Confederate
States. \>u may a.-k what we make of it. If
so, for the information .of, all concerned, I
will state that tlie sense 6f this brigade, wherj
taken, will be found as follows : If it be thV
desire ot the State to shift from her treasury
the responsibility of the enormous debt she is
now incurring iu the raising, provisioning,
equipping and keeping a large army, all other
things remaining in statu quo, then wo lnjve
very little objection; bnt if the term * of sor
vice or field of action assigned the brigade up
on entering into the service is to b e chimgtsd,
the Legislature, -who possessed the financial
tact, and uriiitary skill to handle armies s<>
adroitly at the Capitol, will find that they are
nut so easily-reconciled on tlic coast where they
have snufied the wav'breeze. We all love old
‘Georgia and will fight for her till the last man
-expires before she will be abandoned to the In
solent foe. With-this feeling’ of State pride.
(“Tor we are States Rights men,”) we offered
our services, arid arc ready to peril our lives,
our fortunes aud our’ sacred honor.- If she’
chooses to retain our services - we are content,
if not, wc will most cheerfully carry out our
obligations under any other form on her soil.—
If, therefore, it should be found necessary to
transfer the State troops to the Confederacy,
in order to harmonize and unite “us in action,
we say, and urge, for the interest, honor and
glory of the’ State and of the Confederate
States, that it. be done speedily. This is no
time for squabbling, for jealousy in command
or hesitation iu actiou. What we do must be
done quickly, and military leaders who would
stickle at a time like ■ this upon insignificant
points of reputation and thus peril-the whole
country, are to he feared as the worst enemies,
of the country. Ido not believe, really, that
we have any such among us; but it is thought
so by some, and from the hints we have from
Mil ledgeville, it seems to have fohnd credence
in that direction. Bnt enouch of this.
While I write (9 o’clock P. M.) a heavy rain
is falling, and the wind is flappiug my tent in
a very threatening manner. The shower is ac
companied by heavy thunder and ffgh tiling—
the first heavy shower we have had since we
eauie on the field. The weather has. been so
fine siticc the great storm that dispersed, Liri>
coin’s-“Armada,'” that it really seemed ,
ed by Providence to enable him to recover and
concentrate liis energies. I believe that Prov
idence watches over the enemy as well as over
us, and if we have been thus fnr triumphant
over his prodigious superiority in number and
resources, it is only because ice trusted, like
David, in the Almighty, while the enemy, like
Goliah, if not in his, “good spear,” in his splen
didly equipped and mighty artny. But the
enemy should by this time, if he has not, learn
the truth of that old proverb that “the
race is not to the swift nor the battle to the
strong.” He is permitted to array himself
against us in all his strength and to press us
closely in order to try us whether we be what
we profess, and whether wc be worth} of the
beautiful land we possess and the great exalt’
ed privileges that have ever been Our boast.—
Do we ever think of the importance of being
found icorthy to enjoy these great blessings ?
We are now being “weighed in. the scales,’
and woe to all our hopes if found wanting.—
The land will “spew” us out, and “strangers”
shall dwell in our habitations, reaping the har
vests we have sown and eujoyjug all the prof
its of ©ur labor. Unworthy nations cannot
prosper always—.sooner'or later they wijl be
severely tried, and although they may resist the
storm for awhile and ahn&St recover from the
waste, yet, fee no sustaining’ virtue#,
the lorfg vista of ages will . surely exhibit a
blauk page where ended their (jicrhapsj mighty
deeds. Soldier,

I Richmovu, Dec! 6. —“A copy of the New
i York Herald, of the 4th inst., has been receiv
ed-at the Richmond L'ispatch office, which con
tains Lincoln's Message. It will appear in the
i i.-patch of to-morrow.
The message opens with a recognition of ex
isting political troubles, but expresses gratitude
to God for prosperous harvests and general
health.
In reference to the action of the scceddd
States, Lincoln anticipates the possibility of an
appeal luiGL'oraigii aid or Foreign’irilefvention;
and though admitting the non-interference of
Foreign powers hitherto, it is deemed expedi
ent to suggest the arming and fortifying of Nor
thern ports and Lake coasts in order to be pre
pared for any future coutiggoncy. %
A suggestion is also 00-opwation
with Kentucky , and portions of Tennessee and
Noith Carolina against the secessionists, and
building a railway in aid of such purpose.
The recognition of llay ti and Liberia is ap
proved.
The message says the number of troops of
fered for the war is beyond the requirements of
Congress.
Ihe restoration of the old Virginia bounda
ries. to the District of Columbia is recom
mended.
Lincoln directs the attention of Congress
particularly to such Legislation as will author
ize the freedom of slaves coming within the
scope of military action on the part of the
United States, and the acquisition of territory
for their colonization.
The President states that he has preferred
to blockade the Southern ports to closing the
same, as authorized by Congress.
The message closes with a disquisition upon
certain principles announced by a committee of
the-Virginia Legislature oti-Suflfragp, aud mod
ification of popular government; and some re
marks upon the relative importance of Capital
and. Labor, and commends the Nation's cause
to firm and earnest reliance upon Providence
for success.

.T Wd&mgt-m, Dec. 4. —In tiio Pc unto today,
Mr. Saulsbary, of Delaware, offered a preamble,
and resolutions in relation to the affairs of the
country.
The resolutions propose that Millard Fillmore,
Franklin Pierce, Roger B. Taney, Edward Ev
erett, George M. Dallas, Krving, Horace
Binney, Reverdy Johnson,.John J. Crittenden,
George E. Pugh and Richard . Thomas be

for the preservation of. the Union and the
maintenance of the Constitution, and that they
report to Congress.
The lagt resolution says that upon the ap
pointment of Commissioners, and the meeting
of said Commissioners, active hostilities shall
cease, and not be resumed unless'the Commis
sioners shall be unable to agree.
31 r. Sumntfr, of Massachusetts, objected to
the resolutions.
Mr. Ilale, of New Hampshire, said that the
name of James Buchanan should be added to
the list.
The resolutions'were laid over informally.
Mr. Tmmbqjl, of lllinoise, offered a rfcsolu
.tion, which was adopted r that Breckinridge,.the
traitor, be expelled from the Senate.
