fMlHE FOLLOWING ^RESOLUTIONS 1
were adopted by the Governor and Council,
and were ordered to be published: 1
The Congress of the Confederate States of ]
America having passed an Act entitled "An (
{ Act to Further Provide for the Public Defence,'"
; approved April ?, 1802, which authorizes the ; '
President to call out and place in the military ^
service of the Confederate States for three years,
unless the war shall have been sooner ended,
all white men who arc residents ofthcConfed- ]
erate States between the ages of eighteen (18)
and thirty-five (3f>) except those oxempt by
law, the Governor and Council, as representing ,
the authority of the State, are induced to waive,
for the present, all objections to the measure,
and to give it a cheerful and energetic support, 1
upon the ground of imperious public necessity. '
The operation of the Act aforesaid takes all the

luateriHi ui armies ueiween uie ages mentioned { ,
from the control of the State, whether for active
duty in the field or for internal and police

it becomes necessary that the State shall adopt
further measures to organize its forces and (

for active service wherever required by the
State authorities, and be still subject to the
performance of patrol and police duty until 1
called into active service.
3. That the second corps shall embrace all
those persons who are by law exempted from
ordinary militia duty, all alien residents, and
all male citizens between the ages of sixteen

4. That to effect the organization of the
several corps of reserves, it shall be the duty

causes and evidences thereof; the age, and the

From Memphis.
Memphis, April 25.?{Despatch to the Sa'annah
Republican.)?The Louisville Journal
>f the ITtli inst., says llie Federal Congress has
irdered an investigation into the surprise of
ihe Federal forces at Shiloh. The indignation
of the people at the unnecessary and heavy
loss of life, through the surprise, is said to be
Treat throughout the North. It is reported,
lays the Journal, that Mr. Stanton, the Federal
Secretary of War, has resigned, owing to
political differences with the administration.
Matters at Corinth and the neighborhood
remain as they wore. There is no immediate
prospect of a renewal of the fight The Federals
saem to have taken a second thought at
Fort Pillow. Accounts just received from the
fort report that all is quiet.
"Highly Important?a Valuable Despatch
from Gen. Beauregard Intercepted."
?Under this heading the New York Herald
publishes the following despatch from Nashville,
under date of 15th instant.
Later information from the South is of the
utmost importance. Beauregard's army has
been terribly demoralized, and, according to
his own confession, he has now only 35,000
men. The following telegram has been intercepted
by Gen. Mitchell, and is a full confession
of the hopelessness of the rebel cause in the
West. 1 append it verbatim, leaving you to
comment on its importance.
Corinth, April 9.
To Gen. Samuel Cooper, llichmoud, Va.?
All present probabilities are that whenever
the enemy move on this position, he will do
so with an overwhelming force of not less than
85,000 men We can now muster only 35,000
effectives. Van Dorn may possibly join us in
a few days with about 15,000 more. Can we
not be reinforced from Pemberton's army ?
If defeated here we lose the Mississippi Valley
and probably our cause. Whereas, we could
even afford to lose, for a while, Charleston and
Savannah, for the purpose of defeating Buell's
army, which would not only insure us the Valley
of the Mississippi, but our independence.
rp t>_.
\J. 1 . J)LAL HhU AUL).
Reported Death of General Buell.?
The evidence ot the death of General Bnell is
circumstantial, hut does not admit of a reasonable
doubt. Among the prisoners taken by
us was Mr. Doolittle, of Wisconsin, a farmer
member of the old United States Congress,
who was accompanying the army in the capacity
of chaplain of one of the regiments. He
declares that Buell was killed, which is the
concurrent testimony of all the prisoners who
have said anvthinor on the snhiee.t.. On the
second day of the Pittsburg battle a flag of
truce was sent into the enemy's lines by General
Beauregard with reference to the burial of
the dead on the battle field, which was replied
to by Genera[ Grant, who would not have been
authorized to treat on the subject if the senior
General in command (Buell) had not fallen in
the action.?Richmond Examiner.
The Yankee tax don't appear to meet with
much favor even in Delaware. The Federal
forces were lately withdrawn from the Eastern
Shore of Maryland to go into Delaware in order
to put down a war tax rebellion in that
State. A gentleman on the Eastern Shore,
who is not considered wealthy, is assessed with
a war tax of ?1,500, possibly more than one
half r>f bi? rr*vf?ntio
With this prospect staring us in the face,
what should the South not do and %auffer to
avert subjugation.
Gen. Shields Reported Dead.?A gentle
man recently arrived here from the Valley,
says that it was reported and believed in that
section, that Gen. Shields had died of his
wound. Two eminent surgeons were sent, or
taken up to Winchester, bj Seward; but the
life of Shields could not be saved. ' It is supposed
that mortification had ensued. We
give the report as we received it, without
vouching for its truth.?Lynchburg Virginian.
From Fast Tennessee*
Knoxville, Tennfssee, April 25.?A prisoner,
escaped from Lexington, Kv., says that
ten thousand of the enemy are concentrating
at that place to make a descent on Cumberland
Gap. The Nashville Banner has been
suppressed by order of Andy Johnson. The
enemy are fortifying Iluntsvllle, Ala. The
soutnern cause is daily gaining ground in K^totucky,
owing to the Yankee' War Tax and
Emancipation scheme.
Fatal Railroad Accident.
Mobile, April 23.?The up train, which left
here yesterdry for Corinth, ran off the track
a few miles abo\e Enterprise, Miss., killing six
men, among them live soldiers of the 19th
South Carolina Regiment. About twenty
were wounded.
The Bloody Battle ofShiloh.?We learn
from gentlemen just arrived from Corinth that
the battle of Shiloh was, considering the numbers
engaged, one of the greatest aud blodiest
conflicts of latter days?decidedly the most
sanguinary ever fought upon this continent, if
we except those of the Conqueror Cortez.
Manassas and every other battle of the war
pales before it.
We are positively assured that Gen. Beauregard
lost between 1,600 and 1,800 men killed
| outright, and over 7,000 or 8,000 wounded*
The Federal loss is perhaps correctly estimated
at about 15,000 killed, wounded and missing.
The Yankee Newspapers themselves admit a
total loss of between 10,000 and 15,000 men.
?Richmond Enquirer.
Northern Taxes.?The Northern people
have rushed into every kind of expense to carry
on the war of subjugation, regardless of the
future. They are issueing promises to pay
without count as fast as their presses can print
them. The Cincinnati Times is authority for
saying that by the first of the approaching
July their war debt will be one thousand five
hundred millions of dollars; and that owing to
the increased expense of transportation in conducting
the invasion into the interior of the
South; their Secretary of War asserts that the
expense of the war is now file millions of dollars
a day.
