Compiled from various sources, and adapted to the present condition of the world, etc preset# for the use of Schools and Acade mies in the Confederate States of America. By John H. Rica, 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 which 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, iuto 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, m this city, and, we presume, from the principal booksellers throughout the South ern Confederacy, at *l9 &> per doaen to schools or classes.

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—drunkenness 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 irunken 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, saored 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. Sabbath Hails. j As fast as a petition is filled up, let it be ! forwarded, by mail or express, to the Editor !of The Banner and Baptist in this city— j whence it will be sent in connection with i others to Richmond. Petition to Congress. To the Honorable Senate and House of Rep resentative* of the Confederate States of America: The undersigned, deeply realizing the truth that we can neither ask, nor hope with any show of reason, for the favor of God to our loved Confederacy, or Ilis aid in the deadly contest in which we are now engaged, while our Government shall de liberately and persistently continue to dis regard His laws and require the violation >f them by officials and soldiers in its em ployment—do earnestly petition you to sake such action as will repeal all Jaws re quiring unnecessary mail service to be per formed upon the Sabbath-day ; and to enact >u< h ns will secure our soldiers from un < ci ssary drills, reviews, or other labor upon that day. And as in duty bound your petitioners will ever pray. Headquarters, i Military Post, Atlanta , > May 14, 1802. ) General Order, Xo. I. in obedience to orders received from j Brigadier-General A. R.
