Tho militia organization per taining to the State Legislature,'it can deter mine who it sh wi i exempt. All not exempt by enactment are liable to military duty, including those having substitutes in Confede rate service. Additional legislation is necessary-to fjivc efficiency to the military code of tlc State. The Governor recommends that the amended Jajy embrace allbetween the ages-of To and fiG, including persons who have purchased substitutes,-persons of foreign birth domicil ing within the State,and all who have evaded the just requirements o? tue Confederate Gov ernment. He also recommends apian for the improve ment of the mitiiia, and extending thc milita ry power of thc Governor. If every man iii the State were embodied in military organi sions the ??late would present insuperable barriers tb incursions by the enemy. Strag glers and deserter? are .condemned, fcle re commend! that the officers of tho State be charged with tho duty of arresting them, and that tba judicial officers rigidly enforce the, penal laws against abettors. Ho pays a tribute to thu memory of Senator Yancey, and expresses regret that his eyes could not behold the success and grandeur of the new Confederacy. Alabama has and will ?cheerfully respond to every demand made upon her so long as pur unnatural foe persevered in his unholy (crusade. )Ve may be invaded. The peoplo will not give way to alarm but- will nerve themselves for undying resistance to adespo . tism. which has decreed the emancipation of our slaves, the coafisqation of our lands and the subjugation pf, a free people.
