having successfully run the ot

vessels, and of this class, with rare e>.crp..Ou-,
it was probable my prizes would be. it was
clear, therefore, that I should be effectually
prevented from sending my prizes into rue
Confederate ports.
Cp to the time of my running tne blockade
(June 30, Jenl) i hid not seen Her lint ::.:dc

belligerents from bringingt icir prizes mro i*.n

afterwards ill* gaily handed over to the enemy,
instead of being warned to depart, irpaai, as
well as France, bad followed the lead of Great
Britain, and in due time all the smaller c .-n-
merclal nations did tie same. To show the
objects I bad in view in sending in these priz
es, i quote b* low an extract from my letter
to tiie Governor of < licufuegos:

ernment has no right to interfere with the
captor's possession of his prize—the only easo
excepted of the enpture having been made
within tho waters of the neutral territory. So
th..t if the prize be admitted into the neutral
port at all—and the argument proceeds upon
that bypothe*'*— the captor's possession remains
as tirmlv established as if he and his priza were
in his own country. In support of this juris
diction of the Prize Court 1 quote the following
authorities : In 111 Philtimore’s International
Law p.4»2 it is said : ‘An attentive review of all
the cases decided in all the Courts of Eng
land and the North American United States
during the last war (1812) leads to the conclu
sion that the condom .ation of capture by a re
gular Pri*2 Curt, sitting in the country of th-?
belligerent, of a prize lying at the time of the
sentence in a neutral port that is irregular but
clearly valid.
I:appears to he the inclination of the Eng
lish Prize Court, during the present war (Rus
sian) to limit to cases of necessity the con
demnation ol' vessels lying in a neutral port.
It is scarcely necessary to add, alter what has
beeu said as to the former French law on ccn
dsmnut.on by judges of the belligerent In neu
tral ports (that is, the judge, and-the prize
both being in the neutral) port that such con
denotations of vessels lying in neutral ports
are Leiden valid by the French Prize Courts.''
Again, in the volume already quoted, p.’ 426,
it is said: The courts of the North American
United States allow that property may be con
demned in the courts of the captor whilelyiny
ia a neutral country, but still thfiy rightly hold
that it can only be so adjudicated upon while
the possession of the captor remains, for if it
be divested, either in tact or by opera'ioa of
law, that possession is gone which can alone
sustain the jurisdiction. And it is to be ob
served ii.at. a fortiori, where the property is
already in the custody of a neutral tribunal,
aaj the title is there subjudice, no oil; -r foreign
court con by any adjudication of its own right
fully take away, forestall, or defeat tire jtitis
diOtmnof Ibis neutral tribunal; and the author
quote s 7, Wheaton’s Reports, 356.
It th is appears that, unless the captor di
vests himself of the possession of tho prize (as
by sale without waiting l'-.>r condemnation), or
his possession is divested by operation of law
(ag by bis bringing a prize captured within nen
;ral waters within neutral jurisdiction), tho bel
ligerent Prize Court, sitting in Its own country,
has ample power to adjudicate.
There would seem, then, to be no difficulty
in the way of Great Britain’s revoking her un
just and u until tral orders iuCnt :cil and return
ing to a sense of justice. If individuals are
bound in conscience to retract their errors when
once discovered, how mhch more are nations
boun i to do so. the-consequences of whose er
rors arc so much more widely spread? By do
ing justice to the CSufedcrate States Great Brit
ain w r iil not bo doing injustice to the Federal
Biiites. If she gives an asylum in her ports to
I'.eformer, site will c-qua ly give it to the lat-
I r ; and if this should work an incidental E-d
--vanlnge to the Confederate States, why shcirid
l; is he objected to more than the opposite rule,
which has worked them so many disadvanta
ges ? And it will be less graceful in Great
Britain to peri'..r"i this act of justice because
one of the parties in the forum- iu struggling
against odds, while the other has become uv r
bearing. nay truculent and defiant, from a lan
ded excess of brute strength ?
It is never sate-for a nation, any* more than
an individual, to temporise especially with a
bu.jj, rind at the < .vt of injustice to a weak
er party. Great Brittain innocently lan
ck: ri.it she is “laying up against a rainy
c. —that is to say that she is conciliating the
‘•a Yankee cation” by her present one
ri 1 course, and establishing wise and - safe
; rcci-denfs to be followed by that people here
after >. ' -u aha hull herself become a belliger
ent. But I war l hot that it'is r.il fancy, and
that silo will reap the reward of her timidity
in the usual way—timidity on, the part of na
f i; always inviting further iaault and oirt
i lee. A people who have become so lunatic
a.* to destroy a constitutional Government and
v<>' iut- . iiy submit their necks to the yoke of.
•i course and illiterate tytant for the sake of
vli.-iii c. in gratification of tlu-ir revenge,
el-.lrt iniiiiors ot their former‘feiiowdtizens,
v- i:l luiidiy permit themselves to bo.ruled by
English precedents, to be calmly quoted to
tliun by some future, peace-loving Euri Russell,
from po’ndrous blue books.

You who are between sixteen and fifty-five

directed to report to and obey till further or
ders from these headquarters, such officers as
Gen. J. B. Hood, commanding the Army ot
Tennessee, now at Atlanta, may send into
your respective count,:cs to direct the service
you ars to render. You wii! not be kept con
stantly under arms, nor removed from the
Cherokee country, but you will respond in
stantly to each ca'l made by an officer sent by
Gen Hood. •
It i3 very desirable that as large a number
as possible from these and other counties jn
North-Eastern Georgia, mount themselves, on
horses and form iuto cavalry companies, and
use shot-guns, pistols, and such other weapons
as thev can command. ‘'ll who cannot got
horses, and who prefer it, can volunteer and
form themsc-lves into companies under officers
of their own selection, and will report, With
their officers, to the officer appointed by Gen.
Hood.
All who refuse to join volunteer companies
are required to report as militia under the
laws of this State.
The statute of the State declares that every
man who refuses lo respond to this or any sim
ilar order, shall be treated a* a deserter.
It will be but a short time till courts martial
can bo ordered in the respective counties for
the trial of all such.
All are expected to use their own arms when
they have them. Those without arms will be
susplied when they are required to i er.der ser
vice. when in service or on active duty under
an officer having a commission from this State,
or having an order from Gen. Hood to as-itme
such command, they will bo entitled to all tho
protection of prisoners of war, in case of cap
ture by the enemy. We have enough of Fed
era! prisoners to ehnble us, by prompt retalia
tion, if necessary to compel the Federal author
ities to respect y ur lights as prisoners in case
ot capture.
Gen. Hood’s array is now being rapidly re
inforced* The militia of the whole’ Slate not
within the lines of tiie enemy, at-e responding
with a unanimity, promptness and cheerful
ness seldom equalled in the history of the
world.
It is hoped that Gen. G. W. Sroilli s com
mand, composed of State militia, who have
thus far done the service of veterans in every
fight and have never once flinched, will soon
amount to about thirty thousand effective men.
Georgia, is determined at all hazards and at ev
ery sacrifice to drive the. invader from her sa

It is expected that patriotism, a-sense ot

your hemes, will ba the only incentives neces
sary to induce prompt action.
Col. Dobbs and Col. Rogers, my Aids-fle-
Cump, are charged -specially with the execu

witii an.l give orders to such officers as may
remain in or be sent to the counties, if you

[From Columbus Enquirer ]
When we find Gen. Johnston gratuitously
and reproachfully branded with indecision and
ineompeteney, wa cannot repress the sugges
tion Chat some rankling animosity of a person
al nature has dictated a course towards him,
after removal, so unusual and improper—has
singled hint out, of all others, for the official
brand of disgrace and dishonor. The stigma
is uncalled for, and calculated to rankle wounds
that would otherwise have sooner healed.
[From Columbus Sun,]
The removal of Gon Johnston from the com
mand of the array of Tennessee verifies the pre
diction long since made by those acquainted
with the true character and peculiar . mental
constitution of the President,.' The army, we
arc told, regard it ue au act of personal hosliii
fj; an ili-t ptwi til Mr. Dftria. 1 lie irxavr? HIGH
who were spoken of disparagingly at Mission
llidge in order to save the reputation of a pet
officer, cannot conceive it the result of a proper
respect for the interest of the country at large,
and of the department of Georgia.- D'ssatis
faetiou is noted on all sides. No General in
the Confederate service possessed the confi
dence of his troops lo a greater degree than
did Gen. Johnston. No military leader iu the
western department ever succeeded in winning
the confidence and respect of the citizens to tho
extent Johnston, did.
Gen. Johnston had importuned the war de
partment, time and again, for reinforcemeliis'
He asked only that a small fores of cavalry
led by“an experienced and successful officer,
might be sent in Sherman’s rear. This he con
sidered necessary to ensure success in a general
engagement, and to avoid a useless expendi
ture of human life. His importunities, so
repeatedly made, were not heeded. Hence a
retreat upon Atlanta or the destruction of his
army in an engagement which could promise
no deceisive results, were the only alternatives
presented. He wisely chose the former, and
for-which we are told he lias been relieved of
his command.
It is not our purpose to enquire into Mr. Da
vis’true reasons for not complying with Gen.
Johnston’s request. This is a matter for spec
ulation merely. Nor do we know that it would
do any good to state what those reasons'are
were they even known beyond peradventure.
The people were ortlj*awato of the President’s
personal hostility to Johnston, and that that
which was denied Johnston, bas, in part at
least, been granted his successor.
Notwithstanding the general dissatisfaction
created by this change, the spirit of tiie army
is still firm, and we have reason lo hope that
with the aid and co operation which General
Hood will receive from tiie Government, be
will be able to bring' Sherman to a halt, and
perhaps reclaim the Northern districts of Geor
gia. However apparent may bo the umvorthi
ness-of tho spirit to which he owes his position,
the present commander should recoivc-the co
operation and sympathy of botli soldiers and
chizens in view of the groat issues at stake.
A Raid in’ Mclxtgsii County, Ga. — Sapeluo
Bunion Burnt.—About a week ago, a body ol
Yankees, supposed to number fifty, visited tho
burnt town of Darien, Ga. Oil Wednesday, the
26th, there was to have been a meeting of the
citizens of Mcfutosh co., at Ebeueuer Chnrcb,
for the purpose of organizing the .militia of the
county in accordance with the proclamation of
Gov. Brown. The Yankees, no doubt hearing
cf the intended meeting, through spies, ambus
caded Sapelio bridge, which is twelve miles
Horn D.ypea. Here they lay ip wait, and it is
reported captured several citizens who were on
their way to the meeting, among whom the
names of Messrs. Nelson, Durant, Wm. Lacier,
an/; William and Charles Thorpe are named.
The enemy burnt the bridge, and pro
ceeded to Ebenezer Church, whore they cap
tured some fifteen others, who had assembled
to attend the meeting for the purpose of or
ganzing the militia. Sapelio bridge is on tho
old stage road leading from Darien to Rice
boro’. As soon as the raid became known,
troops were sent in pursuit, but it is doubtful
if they have been oversaken. as they had ample
ime to make their escape.— Sav.
FHO.vl MISSISSIPPI.
It-is rumored that the Yankee force in North
Mississippi have teen reinforced, and are now
advancing again.
Vicksburg papers state that ..Confederate
guerillas have again stopped navigation on
the river from above.
