Oar Militia System.
We hope that the present Legislature
of Georgia will take some steps to revive
the military laws of the State. For a
number of years past no effort (or very
little) has been made to keep up anything
like a military organization, except in a
L. v towns and cities, and even where the
pride of a town or city have prompted a
few to form a volunteer company, in sev
eral instances they have been compelled
to disband in consequence of their num
ber being too small to secure the neces
sary arms and munitions fo£> well organ
ized military company. /Here, in our
own beloved Cass—the Empire county of
Cherokee Georgia, and inferior to no one
in the Empire State of the South—where
there are a number of experienced and
well disciplined men in military tactics—
a cavalry company has been compelled
to disband for want of encouragement,
and that too after the most of them had
gone to the expense of furnishing them
selves with the necessary uniform. It is
disgraceful to the citizens of a county
as highly favored as ours, .$ county claim
ing a population of the rise of 15,006 souls,
with four respectable’ 1 Tillages, and can’t
produce a solitary military organization,
nor even pride enough to encourage one
after it is formed. How long is this to be
the case ? Inasmuch as an effort to get
up a cavalry company has failed, will not
the young men of Cass county make one
to get up a foot company? Who will
take the lead in the matter ? Let us hear
from you. We think the Legislature
ought to requirethe citizens of each and
every counly in the State, except where
there iff one or more regular volunteer
companies, who are. subject to service, to
be etHed.out and, com pel led to muster, as
in days gone bj. j We heartily agree with
aj^ffrespondent inf the Dalton Time*, who |
says that “the militia system of our State
is a dead letter. In the aboenct of militia
organization, it is important dial: volun

The Cassrille Grave Yard.
Below we give the proceedings of a
meeting held in this place on Saturday
last, for the purpose of considering the
propriety and necessity of taking steps
for cleaning up and repairing the village
grave-yard. This has already too long
been neglected, and we are truly glad that
the citizens have been aroused to a sense
1 of their duty, and hope that they will not
suffer the matter to be longer neglected.—
It has grown up in bushes and briers, and
we fear that many graves have become
entirely extinct—not one vestige of the
old foot or bead-stones now mark the sa
cred spot, but, like the tenant, have de
cayed and returned to the mother dust.—
The parents and relatives of many whose
ashes now sleep in the silent grave on
yonder hill, have moved to distant coun
tries, and unless the compassion of friends
present will revive the monuments that
can’t be made anything else:

A Georgia Printing Fresa
A correspondent of the Augusta (Ga)
Dispatch,, writing from the Fair at Atlanta,
Georgia, says:
But the thing which of all others is bon
orable to the inventor and to Georgia, is
the Printing Press invented by Mr. Reynold*,
of this city. Simple and compact, it does its
work with grext rapidity and precision. It is
probablv the best Printing Press ever invented
or bniU at the Sooth, and needs bat equal puf
fing to be the equal if not the superior to Hoe’s
best.
The Charleston Courier says: Mr. Reynolds
visited this city in order to have made some
parts of this pruas. We are pleased to learn
that his invention has succeeded, and trust it
will be exhibited at our Institute Fair.
there took slaves without the snapping of
a gun on either side. Moved them through
the country and finally left them in Can
ada. I designed to have done the same
thing again on a larger scale. That was
all I intended. I never did intend murder
or treason or the destruction of property,
or to incite slaves to rebellion, or to make
insurrection.
“ I have another objection, and that is,
it is unjust that I should suffer such a
penalty. Had I interfered in the manner
which I admit, had been fairly proved,
(for I admire the truthfulness and candor
of the greater portion of the witnesses who
testified in the case)—had I so interferred
in behalf of the rich and powerful—the in
telligent—the so-called great, or in behalf
of any of their- friends, either father or
mother, brother or sister, wife or children
or any of that class, and suffered and sac
rificed what 1 have in this interference, it
would have been all right and every man
in this court would have deemed it an
act worthy of reward rather than punish
ment.
“This court acknowledged too, as I
suppose, the validity of the law of God.
I see a book kissed here which I suppose
to be the Bible, hr at least the New Testa
ment. That teaches me that all things
‘ whatsoever J would men should do to
me I should do even so to them.’ It teach
es me, further, to ‘remember them that
are in bonds as bonded with them.’ I en
deavored to act up to these instructions.
I say I am yet too young to understand
that God is any respector of persons. I
believe that to have interferred as I have
done, in behalf of his despised poor, was
not wrong but right Now, if it is deem
ed necessary that I should forfeit my life
for the furtherance of the ends of justice,
and mingle my blood further with the
blood of the millions in this slave country
whose rights are disregarded by wicked,
cruel and unjust enactments, I submit.—
So let it be done!
“ Let me say one word further, I feel
entirely satisfied with the treatment I have
received on my trial. Considering all the
circumstances, it has been more generous
than I expected, but I feel no conscious
ness of guilt I have stated from the first
what was niy intentions, and what was
not. I never had any design against the
commit treason, or excite the slaves to re
bel or make any general insurreetion. I
never encouraged any man to do so. but
always discouraged any idea of that kind.
Let me say also, in regard to the state
ments made bv some of those connected
with me, I fear it has been stated by some
of them that I have induced them to join
me. But the contrary is true, I do not
say this to injure them, but as regretting
’their weakness. There is not one of them
but joined me of his own accord, and a
number of them I never saw and never
had a word of conversation with till the
day they came to me, and that was for
the purpose I have stated. Now I have
done!”

Faria from the Comptroller’s Report.
We gather from the report of the Comp
troller General of the State, the following
facts, which may be interesting to our
readers.
The available balance in the State Trea
sury at the end of the fiscal year 1858 was
one hundred and thirty thousand three
hundred and fifty-four dollars and sixty-
five cents.
The receipts of the Treasury, during
the fiscal year 1859, were one million
thirty-two thousand eight hundred and
seventy-nine dollars and twenty-seven cts,
and the disbursements during the same
year, were eight hundred and seventy-
The State House has C06t two hundred
thousand dollars; the Executive Mansion
eighty thousand dollars; and the Peniten-
itentiary five hundred and eleven thou
sand one hundred and fifty-two dollars.
The State owns railroad and bank stock
which (estimating the State road at six
millions) is worth seven million three
hundred and ten thousand nine hundred
dollars—an amount which is more than
double that of the entire public debt
There are inanv other interesting facts
contained in Mr. Thweatt’s report, some
of them especially interesting in view of
of the new apportionment of the members

Intimations were thrown out of a regular

the especial purpose of co-operating, if

a slaveholder was an act which God wo’d

his stealing horses, which he then had
with him for sale—of his shooting down

The Harper's Ferry Resolutions.
The following preamble and resolutions
were introduced in the House of Represen
tatives of the Legislature of Goorgia on
Thursday, 3d inst., by Mr. Gibsori, of
Richmond, and passed unanimously:
Whereas, The late attempt at Harper’s
Ferry, in the State of Virginia to excite
a portion of the slaves of the South to
insurrection, has produced the highest de
gree of indignation in the minds of the
Southern people against the perpetrators
of that outrage their aiders and abettors
and affords just ground to apprehend a re
newal of their efforts in otherplaces; And
whereas the action of Gov. Wise and Pre
sident Buchanan meets with our unquali
fied approbation, wc deem it incumbent
upon the members of the Legislature of the
State of Georgia to give the most authori
tative expression of their sentiments.-—
Therefore
Resolved, that we regard the effort to ex
cite the slaves of the South to a servile in
surrection with the mast, intense indigna
tion, and trust that the parties to the insane
and treasonable plot, may meet with the
most prompt and signal punishment, be
lieving as we do that wh : le it will be meet
ing out a just retribution for their crime it
will exert a wholesome influence in deter
ring others from countenancing similar
movements
Resolved, that the prompt energetic
action of Gov. Wise, of President Buchan
an, in suppressing the outbreak at Harper’s
Ferry and in their efforts to capture the
insurgents, evince a degree of manliness
and patriotism,honorable^ like to them and
worthy of our warm admiration.
Resolved, That we pledge the State of
Georgia to uphold and support the State
of Virginia and tile President of the United
States in the position they have assumed,
in connection with this unfortunate affair,
and we earnestly counsel the utmost vigi
lance in guarding against the recurrence
of a similar conspiracy, in our own bordors,
or elsewhere at the South.
Resolved, That a copj- of ihe foregoing j
preamble and resolutions be transmitted
by the Governor of the State of Georgia to
the Governor and Legislature of Virginia,
and to the President of the United States.
The same was then orderd to be trans
mitted to the Senate without delay.

The insurrectionists on this occasion
numbered about sixty negroes, and were
commanded by the notorious Nat Turner,
a free negro and pretended preacher, who
declared to his comrades tiialTfie was

children, were butchered by them, thrown

flames, prematurely quenched, will here
after spread through Maryland, the Caro-
linas and Georgia, to the banks of the
Mississippi. The New York Day Book
says:
“Wc have room to believe that there is
a regularly organised society in this city
of negro stealers, and that it includes ma
ny clergymen and laymen, and that even
one-half of his audience, composed of abo
litionists, shouted “ aye,” whilst not a
single “ nay” was uttered by any one pre
sent
Such approval as this—and the ques
tion was put at all his lectures—gave
Brown confidence that his party would
sustain him in whatever he might do a-
gainst the men of the South, and thus em
boldened, the miserable wretch, by servile
not a few business men contribute to fill ' insurrection, sought to overthrow the gov-
its treasury. What is more, we have the
names of some of the individuals reported
to be engaged in this criminal business.”
