111. Any person liable to enrollment under thi3
act may join any compan/ for local defence which

22d June, 18fi3, for the war, or any other company
for local defence winch has been accepted into the
service, and which, by iho terms of its enlistment,
is liable to serve anywhere within the btaie; or
persons of this class may form new companies for
local defence and special service, under General
Orders No. StJ, (.18(12) for the war, and select their
own officers.

companies for local defence under this order all as
sistance in his power, and would earnestly request
that such companies be organized, and old compa

nished.
The articles most necessary to bo provided are

Brigade was present (except the 13tli Ga.

&c. On motion Capt. W. H. llowip’d, 60th

McCray, J. H. Wooldridge, 31st Ga. Reg’t.
The committed, through their chairman,
Major Grace, reported the following preamble
and resolutions which were unanimously
adopted :
Whereas, in oiir opinion the final success
of the arms of the Confederate States is an
absolute necessity to the perpetuation ot our
liberties and our preservation from the most
cruel oppression and tyranny with which a
people were ever afflicted, and
Whereas, our obligations to God, to our
country, to ourselves «tvA *.c loved ones at
home, as well as a decent regard lor the opin
ions of mankind, (after the many sacrifices
we have already made), demands that we em
ploy every meanfy within our power for the
achievement of tl(is end, and
Whereas, Among these means in our opin
ion is a firm and steady support of the exist
ing Government and its general policy, as
partly set forth by recent Congressional en
actments, against the invidious and unjust
assaults now being made upoh it, upon pie
texts false and unjustifiable, by disappointed
and designing politicians; therefore be it
Reached, Ist, That we, the troops of Gor
dons Brigade, yield a warm and hearty sup
port to the administration of President. Davis,
believing that his sympathies are with us in
our sufferings—hiheart and energies in our
cause—and, under the guidance of the uis
dom oi his statesmanship, our armies will yet.
win a glorious and triumphant peace.
Resolved , 2d, T|iut we have no sympathy or
feeling in common with the designing men of
Georgia or any other State who, from motives
of self-aggrandizeinent, are making opposition
to the General Government and its policy, and
seeking to become the champions c 4 Flute
rights (not endangered) at the hazard of losing
the last vestige of carry right.
Resolved, lid, Till at. as Georgians, whose feal
ty to State rights /.j testified to hg so many hard
fought battles , we feel it equally our right and
duty, to denounce iu Georgians, of whatever

their efforts upon abstract questions of eon-ti

Resolved , 4th, That but little less disreputa
ble and worthy of denunciation is the unpa
triotic conduct of the following classes : Ist.
Os those able-bodied Georgians who, instead
of entering'the ranks of their country's defend
ers, have taken refuge, under the wing ot
State executive protection, as State Mditiu
Officers. 2d. Os those able-bodied kid glove
\ gentry , who by virtue of means inherited, are
; either dodging behind the property exemption
i clauses of Congress, or perverting tne honest
earning3 of their forefathers to the villainous
purpose of bribing Medical Examining Boards
and Enrolling officers.
3d. Os those agents of despondency famil
iarly known as rrorfkers, whose magnifying
optics, convert every little reverse into igno
minious d> feat, and utter ruin. 4th. Os that
large class of speculators and extortioners
whose worship at the shrine of Mammon has
done more to produce the present financed
difficulty than ad l other causes combined, and
should, loDg since have received Christ a
i treatments of the money changers of Jerusa
lem and been, kicked out of the country.
Resolved, stb. jTliat we hereby* call upon
our friends at Rome, to yield neither to the
seductive influences of the demagogues, nor

stamp with the ban of their disapprobation
and contempt everything tending to obstruct,
or retard the cause of our national indepen
dence.

Kentucky.
All eyes are turned for the moment in she
direction of Kentucky. The tramp of Forrest’s
leghorn are shaking the “dark and bloody
ground, ’ and, if the telegraph speak truth, her
hills agniu echo the war-cry of Morgan and
his men. Tearing railroads, sinking river
boats and destroying Federal property, will be
the order of the day with this brace of hetoes.
We presume they hav e not sufficient force,
nor are provided with appliances, to attack
strongly fortified positions, but by a thorough
destruction of Thomas', or Sherman’s means
of communication, they may compel his with
drawal from Chattanooga. We trust that the
report of the success of Forrest’s recruiting
operations in the State may prove true. Ken
tucky now fully understands the nature
and object of Lincoln's war, and if her true
men ever intend to get from under the Yan
kee yoke, now is the time to declare and exe
cute the purpose.
Yaitb.ee Prisoners at Anderson
ville.
If some arrangement for the exchange of
prisoners is not speedily effected, we very
much fear the Confederacy will derive but
little benefit from it. A few days ago, while
the cars were at Andersouville, we learned
that the mortality among the Yankee priso
ners af that point was frightful. One of the
guard informed us that fifty-two died on J lie
previous day, and that since their arrival,
(lie average of deaths per day, was thirty-five.
Small pox,"pneumonia and dinrrhoc, are tak
ing tin m off by wholesale. The cartel takes
no account of dead men, and hence we trust
that the exchange may be resumed before the
ranks of these eight thousand prisoners are
much further depleted
Culture of Vegetables. - There is nothing
we shall want more during the coming season
than an abundant supply of vegetables. The
army will need them to preserve its men from
scurvy. The people will need tffem to make
up for the inordinate price of meat. It is the
duty as well as the interest of everybody to
cultivate as large a quantity as possible.—
There is not a yard in any city or town which
should not be made to contribute something
towards the general store. . Among Ait her iu-
Uiw\crufcuta. it may be mentioned that vegeta
bles, with few exceptions, are exempted from
the tithe, and that they are not taxed beyond
the income tax on the profits bom their sales.
A little attention and a little labor given to
this end would do incalculable good.

with his counterfeit presentment of the hero,
has inserted beneath, the explanation, “Lieu

fault we have to find of the artistic execution
of the note.

Case.
In that valuable periodical, (he Medical and
Surgical Journal, the April number of which
has just been published by Messrs. Ayres \
\\ ado, we find the following most rema'ikuble
case ol a recovery from a gun-shot wound in
the lung:
Mr. R. D. Q., 22 years old, of scrofulous
temperament in January, was leaning on lus
gun, the muzzle in contact with his left side
when it exploded, tearing a hole in the chest
of three or four inches in diameter, cairvinc
with the load of shot fragments of (he third
fourth and fifth ribs, and the whole of a very
large, heavy English gold patent-lever watch
except the ring to which the chain was at
tached, which, singular to sav,.was found in
the lining of his waistcoat, on the.right side.
Dr. Seld&n found the patient apparently about
to expire, and, trom the impending suffoca
tion upon the ingress of air within so large an
openihg, he could make no exploration of the
wound.
Closing the wound idfch a large compress
and bandage, opium and stimulants were
freely administered. Reaction took place, and
in a fortnight- sufficient adhesions were estab
lished to permit exposure of the cavity of the
wound and to remove the metal face of the
watch from some six inches from the bottom
jof the wound. For several weeks, fragments
us the watch continued to present themselves
! ;i nd were extracted ; from the diaphragm,
other below the clavicle. The lung collaps
ing. was not torn to piece, though wounded
in several points. Both the heart, jeovered
by the pericardium, .and iho aorta Were ex
posed to view and touch. SuppuratUi was
enormous ; hemorrhages fre.quent. The col
•lapsed lung became bound by adhesions
The whole side of # the thorax sank. Sustained
by every article of nutritious food calculated
to supply an inordinate appetite, the patient’s
recovery was slow, until the wound, progress
ively reduced, could only ndmit catheter.
The supervention of the taitiv eat r.vFiillique.
during the progress si the I:4l =e olleree Ihe en
viable opportunity of viewing the cause nf its
production. Drs. Andrews and Higgins
(whose patient Mr. D. was,) were perfectly
assured that the bursting of the bubble on the
auifuce. oi 1 fie pus was (lie rationale of the
sound. Fragment? of watch and bone togeth
er, with shot and other extraneous maiter«,
continued for sometime obe ejecled by ex
pectoration with sputa. Mr. D. possesses
noiv every part of the watch except the
hands, a considerable portion of the small
•works having been expectorated. Tho
openings into the lung were of sufficient size
to allow a current of air to escape, and if di
-1 ected against (he iiauie of a candle to e.xtin
ginsh it. Mr. D.’s health continues feeble,
bn Ns as robust as it bad been during the past
nve years.
fi fie Habeas I'erpii*.
Gov. Drown, of Georgia, in his message
to the Legislature, says that the writof lm
beus corpus has not been suspended in
Great Britain since 1080, and that an at
tempt to suspend it at this time would cost
the Queen her crown. Gov. Brotvn has
probably confounded the writ of habea
corpus with the veto which the law places
iu the hands of the sovereign, and which
it is said, has not been exercised since the
revolution. The Fayetteville Observer
has been at pains to ascertain the number
of times the habeas corpus has been .sus
pended since that period, and the result
is anything but complimentary to Gov.
Brown’s historical proficiency. Between
1B8!) and 1/94, it had been suspended
nine times. It was suspended through
out the British Isles in that year. In
lifts it was suspended in Ireland during
the lebeJJion, ainl again in lßf>3, during
the insurrection beaded by Robert Km
metf During the remainder of George
•id s reign it was several times suspended
in England, and again during the reign
of George -hh in 1822. Gov. Brown
suiely recollects the commotions in Ire
land, about fifteen years ago, and the sus
pension of tltf- writ during the time of their
continuance. Indeed, it is the tirst thing
a Minister does when there i? trouble in
the country, and Would no more affect the
safety of the throne than any ordinary act
of Parliament.
With regard so the Jaw of last session,
nothing can be plainer than tb v power
ot Congress to pa» it. That power is
given by the Constitution in terms ai
plaui and as unmistakable as the power to
declare war or the power to lay taxes iu
support of Gi»\n ionent A man who dis
putes so plain a provision, expressed in
such accurate terms, muA be i.ryfai
