To Christian Ministers in the Confederacy :
The watchmen upon the walls of Zion
should cry aloud against every violation of
the Divine law.
While we are rallying our Churches to
invoke the Divine benediction upon our
arms, there are two palpable evils winked_
at by the authorities —drnnkenness and
Sabbath-breaking. Either ofthese is enough
to bring down the Divine anathema upon
us. Can we do nothing to arrest these
evils, and avert the anger of our insulted
King ?
Our good President has called on us and
our charges to humble ourselves before the
mighty hand of God, and by fasting and
prayer, beseech Him to bless our land and
prosper our arms. We have done so. —
Now let us call on our wise and Christian
President to dismiss every drunken officer
who will not abstain from the use of intoxi
cating liquors, and to put an end to all
drills and reviews on the holy Sabbath.—
So long as the former continues, the de
moralization of our armies will place them
out of the pale of God’s favor and protec
tion, as well as unfit them for the trusts,
sacred and holy, which have been commit
ted to them. The latter is placing us as a
nation in defiance to the authority of Heaven.
I would propose that every Minister in
this Confederacy, of every name and order,
who is willing to sign a petition to the au
thorities at Richmond to have these evils
removed, send their names to Rev. S.
Boykin in this city. Let us act, and act at
once, and the evils may be removed.
E. W. Warren.

May 14, 1862. )
General Order, No. I.
In obedience to orders received from
Brigadier-General A. R. Lawton, command
ing Military Division of Georgia, in assu
ming command of this Post for the purpose
of guarding the Government stores, to pre
serve order in and around Atlanta, and for
the protection of all loyal citizens and the
puhishment of all disorderly conduct, the
following regulations will be observed :
1. Details will be made daily to protect
the Government stores and propeity, and
guards will be posted at different points in
the city for that purpose ; also a scouting
guard, day and night, to preserve order, act
ing in concert with the city authorities.
2. Sentinels will be posted on each rail
road train to examine and arrest all suspi
cious persons pointed out to them ; and to
make this order effective, superintendents
of railroads are requested to instruct con
ductors to cooperate with the sentinels for
that purpose.
3. Owners of all cdfcton, hay, or other
combustible material, are required without
djlay to remove the same to such points of
safety, distant from Government stores, as
may be designated by the commanding of
ficer of this post.
4. Any grocer or other person selling to
or furnishing any officer or soldier with
spirits or wine, which is prohibited unless
upon the order of an army surgeon, will be
arrested and dealt with by the proper mili
tary authorities.
5. All officers, soldiers, or citizens, found
drunk or otherwise disorderly in the streets,
will be taken in charge by the guard and
sent to these headquarters.
6. No officers or soldiers will be allowed
to remain inand around Atlanta, unless such
officers or soldiers be furnished with a per
mit from their respective commanders. —
And all commanders of troops stopping
over in Atlanta will report the fact to the
officer commanding this post.
7. No slave, or free person of color will
be allowed to walk the streets after the hour
of nine o’clock p. in., either with or without
a pass, unless accompanied by his or her
owner.
The officer commanding earnestly invites
the aid and cooperation of his Honor, the
Mayor, and city authorities, and all citizens
in preserving good order and sobriety in the
city, and specially requests of all persons to
report to him any improper conduct on the
part of any of the officers or soldiers under
his command.
By order of Colonel Commanding.
A Sysleut of Modern Geography.
Compiled from various sources, and adapted
to the present condition of the world, ex
pressly for the use of Schools and Acade
mies in the Confederate State* of America.
By John TT. Rice.
We have examined this work and are
prepared to pronounce a favorable judg
ment upon it. We have detected a few
typographical errors in the production, but
none calculated to hinder the usefulness of
the work.
The plan upon w hich the Geography is
gotten up we think an admirable one, and
teachers will doubtless avail themselves
of the advantages it offers by introducing
it, at once, into their schools. This is an
effort at Southern independence, in the right
direction, and we hope the compiler will
meet with such encouragement as will
prompt others to emulate his noble exam
ple. The work can be obtained from the
publisher, at the Franklin Printing House,
in this city, and, we presume, from the
principal booksellers throughout the South
ern Confederacy, at #lB 00 per dozen to
schools or classes.
Those wishing further information will
address Gen. J. H. Rica, Atlanta, Oa.
