The attention of all persons between the ages of
seventeen and eighteen years, and between the ages
of forty-five and fifty years, is called to the follow
ing-paragraph of General Orders No. 33, from the
A. and Inspect. Gen’ls office, Richmond, Va.:
I LI. Any person liable to enrollment under this
ai t may join any company for local defence which
has been formed under General Orders No. 85, issued
22d June, 1863, for the war, or any other company
for local defence which ha* been accepted into the
service, and which, by Ihe terms of its enlistment,
is liable to serve anywhere within the State; or
persons of this class may form new companies for
local defence and special service, under General
Orders No. 85, (1853) tbr the war, and select their
own officers.
The undersigned will give persons wishing toiorm
companies for local defence under this order all as
sistance in his power, and woflld earnestly request
that such companies be organized, and old compa
nies, organized under General Orders No. 85,1853,
be filled up to the maximum number. The benefit
that would accrue to regularly organized companies
or battalions, should the reserve corps ever he called
into active service, is too obvious to be urged.

The great beueiiri which have attended-the labors
of Relief Committees on the battlefield, in protect
ing and administering to the cave und comfort of
the sick and wonded, have been forcibly illustrated
in some of the great battles of the present war. To
secure io our gallant soldiers the aid derived from
such association? the citizens of Columbus and vi
cinity are earnestly requested to unite in forming
one or more Relief Committes, who will hold them
selves in readiness to accompany the Reserve Med
ical Corr.s qf this Post to ‘.‘the front” whenever the
occasion may demand.
Transportation for themselves and all articles for
the comfort of the sick and wounded will be fur
nished.
The articles mo~t necessary to be.provided are
old linen lint, cotton hatting, bandages, light wooden
splint«, tea, coffee, (ground) wine, brandy or whis
key, and such delicacies as may be useful.
Any Committee which tufty bo organized can re
port itself to this office, so that the members may
receive information when their cervices wiii be re
quired.
Individuals desiring to form associations can re
port to this office, where a register of their names
will be kept until a caff.cieut.number to organize a

Teller on Arkansas Affairs.
Dalton. Ga.,April 2. 1564.
Editors Appeal . At remarked in a form
er letter, the people oi Arkansas have been
required to subscribe to the flisgustitig and
humiliating oath ]iicscrihed bv Abe l.ineqjn.
Wherever the Yankees find a Southern man
ot home, no matter how aged, who lifts shown
any sympathy for the South, ami who Ear; per
-1 raitted Confederate solder-' lo tarry for a
night at his house; they compel him so swal
low an oath not to rnvc aid and comfort to
the rebellion; and if the person so accused
refuse : to take the said oath, he is carri. and
to Helena or Little Lock and in jail, putuntil lie
becomes willing to submit to the oath. Thou
sands of true Southern men in Arkansas have
ir, thin compulsory manner been forced to
swear to support the United States Govern
ment. who at the time, in heart despised the
Northern Government, hade the man who ad
ministers the obligation, and detest the oath.
They had either to go through the form of
swearing to -support Lincoln or go to dark
dungeons to. sicken and go down to the grave
Goo and men have not .hesitated to choo9e (In
former, which will account for thv bu t why
so many Southern > itizens have anpFated to
have given in their allegiaece lo the United
States.
While many of our Arkansas ts tends are
recorded against us —it, is not their own
choosing, but one of compunction by the mil
itary authorities. Let nle assure the Arkan
sas troops in Gen. Johnston's, army, that their
friends and relatives at home, are still true to
the South—her cause is dear to them—their
hearts are with her—their hopes are for suc
cess—their prayers ascend for her, they ten
derly remember and dearly love her absent
and distant soldiery. Tliebath signifies, com
paratively speaking, nothing with them.—
They are conquered phy qically.lnt not subdued
in spirit. They are chained patriots longing
tor the day of deliverance from the tyrant’s
edicts, and to be freed from the tramping
hordes of a merciless and dishonest foe.
The dear, noble and sacrificing ladies, have
have not escaped the ordeal of wav. Almost
every lady in that portion of the State through
which l traversed, had been universally com
pelled to subscribe to a similar oath to that
administered to the men ; hut these nucousti
tional pledges appear to have made them more
determined to labor for the Mouth and her down
trodden citizens. Ladies who have been raised
in affluence and refinement, no longer confirm
their attention to domestic affairs and the phi
lor exclusively, but the war has made heroines
of them. They have become business women
The ladies have taken the position of business
men, and ‘ ansaet limit- business while the
men rein: at home They transact most all
the busine:.-. of the country, and it was a com
mon sight to behold a beautiful woman, mo tin
| led on a.mule, (the Yankees have stolen their
j horses) riding behind a wagon, oi sitting in
| an ox wagon on a bale of cotton, en route for
market They accompany their cotton to
1 ownftttttotdiitßxr greeffbacks, pocket the moii
ey, and Glen walk a-ovysa the street to au'Alher
block and present the invoice of the articles
that they wish to ptn .| base b onr the nierehants,
which iSfipprbYtri by jlie j reside:, t of the board
of trade, and tfec-a t iio| wend their way through
seuiinela to the iriercijanta to purchase the ar
ticles that the board deigned in tot ihcmbuy.
While 1 was in Arkansas, an instance of
the fidelity of the ladies occurred, which 1
will allude to, though it is by no means an
isolated one. Two ladies visited Helena io
obtain supplies lor home consumption, but
never forgetting the men, they attempted to
.smuggle out two pairs of pavalry boots for
them. One lady' attempted to conceal her
boots under her hoops, while the other con
eluded she would draw her s on her foot, over

Ey Senator Walls of New Jersey, made
a speech at Keyport, New Jersey, on the
2‘.M Febnni v last, from which*,we take the
following:
He.verse all these absurd and pernicious
measures which for three years have char
aoterized Nortliern legislation, for if the
confidence and affection we have lost is
ever to be regained, it can only be by giv
ing the South the most undeniable proofs
that we are willing to remove every ground
of complaint, and to afford the amplest se*-
curity for the enjoyment of all their con
stitutional privileges in the future. I
waive all questions of authority and right.
With nearly a million of men slain, or ren
dered useless, with a frightful debt of
thousands of millions, increasing at the
► rate of two millions a day, and national
ruin and bankruptcy, the inevitable conse
quences of this dreadful war, peace, speedy
peace, should be our object, and to ac
complish this, a repeal of these obnoxious
legislative acts is demanded, which are
an insurmountable bar to reconciliation,
I and have lost us the confidence and good
' will of those who might have been really
i kindly disposed towards us in the South.
What greater folly can there be than to
; expect to force a people into a friendly
; union with you, to entrust their rights
j more ipto your hands, and submit their
j property and lives to your (government by
I desolating their country and spreading
j famine and death over the land? And
j what are the laurels acquired in this de-
structive warfare!' We have subtfUed not
t heir armies, butthe small mtuains of their
affection to the country, then reverence
for as law-s, and their conhdeuce; in its
generosity. Neither tlie inn.** i*vpower, or
the mere pensioners of the hour who now
cowardly sustain them and their policy,
ever attempt to reason from the analogies
of history.
We told them at the outset of the im
practicability of then task, and Wc tell
them 1 gain that their failures in the ftl
turewiii be even more stiijiCnduons than
tiiey have been in the past ignorant of
the actual ririources of the South, they
supposed that a three months blockade
would starve every man woman and
child into .submission, and that an army
ot VuddiD men would he sufficient to con
quer and hold*!he entire South.-m region.
We told them that they would wanta
million of men. arid spend thousands of
millions, and yet oniy be upon the edge
of their fearful enterprise. Nearly two
millions ot men have been culled for, and j
oyer two thousand millions spent; and j
who is There, having the slightest sagae- ;

however, is still unbounded, and it will *

Will some individual favor ns with on ac

they outnumber us at least five to one. At

with all these advantages in our favor, almost
invariably wlien.we meet the rebels they out

This stereotyped phrase is becoming stab
and disgusting, not only from its everlasting
repetition, bj*t from its glaring improbability.
It is but another name for inefficiency, for In
competency, for criminality, it is alike used
to excuse Burnside at Fredericksburg, Pope

Old Abe in Florida. In no case is it true ; in
every case it diverts attention i. otu the cow
ardice, ignorance, or unfitness ol those for
