muting eomebody to euryendex lo,"
Lincoln's " Xofld Call."
Within the parti twelve nr fifteon tunntlii, the
Yankee* hin- effec'-d nothing, or almost nothing,
in th, ir vhcr'shed design of subjugating ihe Potain,
?rd their decimated sui elisi rapidly dimit '-hing
r inks orv nlrud tn Abraham Lirei.lu that he must
do something-and that right quickly-:>r -elso
give up the rhip. Thia lani ho cannot do ; lie i?
unwilling LU do it, and afraid to do it. In thia
dilemma therefor*), he puts forth a proel ?m s ti on
by virtue of which the whele of Ynnketdoni in
all ita length and breadth, is placed under Military
authority und oontrol. And the people, if they
comj ly with tlc calls af this proclamation. Will
render him, still moro absolutely than ceforo if
possible, an onlireited sud unrestrained dictator.
The tyrant of the North ts weary of gathering
up fighting men end foreign mercenarios hy drib
lets, and has consequently made a coup d* filet,'
or in nlaiu English, a denn ?weep, of bis htimhle
and admiring subjects. Ho gauts for th* cnt' of
this rather troublesome robe'liou, and is heartily
sick and tired of" running the machine aa be
found it." To this end therefore bo calls upon
every body and any body tb take up arras and
fight for "tba land nf the freo and the home of
tho bravo." Yankee white reen and Yankee.nig
gers (to say nothing of stolen Southern Biggera,)
Yankee Hermana and Yankee Irishmen, of every
shade and ela*.? and color, are authoritatively or
dered to take up musket, blanket, and knapsack,
and pursue tho onward and upward courre to
glory and universal liberty. Imagine this noble
ormy of motley scoundrels coming forward to take
possession of their "farms" in Dixie! The twelve
or thir'een hundred, thou:nnd Yankee heroes al
ready placed in the field, have not been equal to
tho task of crushing out tho rebollion-a tu*k for
which they once allowed seventy-five thousand
mou and thirty ?lays. Of this twelve or thirteen
hundred thousand, tena of thousands bar? nlready
boen uiueterod cut of. HOI vico hy tbe hospitable
Southerners, and aro now in peaceful enjoyment
of Sou thurn "farms'." Teua *of thousands havo
been re -ped and garnered away by " th? old man
wi;h tho scythe ;" and tens of thousauda, crippled,
shattered and dis?-a'ad, are dragging out a miser
ai,lo exhtciico in Yankee hospitals, or in their
Northern homer.
But all this mattors nothing to the rutblesn ty
rant at Washington : be ia not economical of his
Yankees, and bia prodigality in blood ae?ma to
know no limit. Und.r tho present call, there is
BO need of enrolling officers, and no chanco for
substitutes. Physicians 'o examine tho puny, and
mustering officers to placo the strong and well, in
ye rv iee are all that is required. Tho conscription
law is set aside, and there is no furthor noed of
legislation.
Now the question ia whether the people of tho
North will passively respond to this last and loud
est <jall upou them. Wo rather suspect they will.
They have homo everything in tho pnst; they
will in nil probability boar everytL...g in the fu
ture. TheybaveatitTeted the arm of milita'y power
to bo extended o.er them until it has becotue al
most hopolcss to resist. The civil authority baa
1 mg ago sunk into absolute insignificance by the
??do of the military. Bull?te ara now hut idle
fictions, while Buyonots play the chief role in
tho drama of rual life. Let any community or
portion of a ccmmuu'uy, attempt to array itaelt
against ?o despotism at Washington, and its
tnetnhors will soon tin J them.-elves surrounded,
overpowered and put down, by the armed merce
naries of that despotism. Those men at fae North
who are oneini'.-s of tho administration und the
wur, havo ollowed their golden opportunity to go
by unimproved j thoy aro nowslavea, and Abraham
Lincoln ?a the victor. Their voice's will not uow
bu heard, and they will be borne al?ng with the
popular current until the wb<>lo fabric of Northern
society falls Into a uirms pf ai|)oui<inripi; debrit.
All.demonstrations against tho present Adminis
tration will be speedily crushed by tho iron heel
of military power. In theil endeavor to destroy
the libprtjes of the South, the Yankees fr ve lost
th; ir own, and ure tioiv sphjoct to tho whims and
caprices of such a ?outemplible, malignant, igno

Peace Couypul'ou ia Albany, N. Y.
We soe the t a great pease con cen tine ts tobe
held In Albany, N. V. "n tho 34 of June pros.
Let not our people delude themselves with tho
hopo that amy immediate good ia to result from
that Convention. You can never gather the true
intention of that nation of awash-bucklers from
what they t?y. Whether thorofore they really
deaire pcaco, or wbother thia ia opjy another
grimace of these Merry-Andrewa remans to be
seen. They will meet, palaver, paea resolutions,
glorify themselves, and then adjourn ; and there
it will eud. It may bo that they bur 3 grown
tired of the old aongs, " Onto?l'cbinond," "Ana
conda," "Cruah out the R?bellion," "Short,
sharp and decisive," and wish to vary the monot
ony by chanting an anthem to peace. It may be
that they h'?>?>'a fallen into the hopeful mood of
Sir John when be indulged in that virtuoue mono
logue, "Oh that I were a weaver, that I might
sing psalms ic." Who can toll but that chanting
? psalm to peace might iuiprovo their morale?
Evan their case may not bo hopeless. If so, we
havo no desire to mar the innocent nmus :mont of
" tho great unwashed." If they will " forawcar
sack and livo cleanly," woll and good
Tho avowed principio upon which thia conven
tion is to act, is the reconstruction of tho Union.
Npw if these mon arc in earnest in desiring peace;
if ttjiy tLiijl-. 'osf thoy have steeped their banda
deep enough in their bifeihgrj* blood-bands that
would " the multitudinous acas incarnadine,"
then .we desire to say to them, for the fortioth
time, that they aro laboring under a profound er
ror OB thia subject. They are undertaking a work
that can ncytr ?JU accomplished. Peso? and a re
union of these States ia 'imply an impossibility.
The man who would attempt, it would be torn to
pieces.by tho indignation of tho poople. Wo aro
resolved upon war just aa long os they insist on
that Union. It was to ?hake off that hated gov
ernment that wo took upnrins, and unleia that be
accomplished, wo will never lay 'them down
no/or as long as Southern women bear men chil
dren. To that e,,d we have poured out our best
blood, fought the enemy upo? a j^un/r-d battle
fields-aye, and whipped him too-and ar3 reedy
to meet him on a thouaand more.
Tho port of Charlcaton ia still open ; we are
not starving ; ve have arms in our hands, a half
million of men in tho field, unlimited credit in
Europe ; and by tbe bolp of God, wo shall yet
make tho foo bite tbe dust.
But ILffvA should order it otherwise, sooner
than submit to that government, wo will i nike

Mn. EDIT, it ; You have all doubtless heard

tedious journey, they were called to arms abo
3 o'clock the following morning to t iko positif
about three miles from the town, en the Clintc
Road, te check the progress of the enemy an
cover the rotreat of our army. The enemy can
on in largo and overwhelming numbers, while ot
force, on account of tho failure to get reinforci

For the' Advertiser.
Mr EDITOR:-Ai we may not lio entirely'ex
>mpt from all dangar nf being visited nt an es'ly
lay by some Yankee rn?raiiders like those who
nave don j lu uiuch miiichiof in many seto ions ol'
aur country, woubl it n*t bo w.-ll for us io lr?rn
ebtdom from Ihc Liner experience af oth-ra ?nil
laake rorr.e ef?ert to organize for the defence ui
sar homes and all that make our homes dost; from
the decstation and-ruin which cnnld c?rtni;.!y bc
the result if our District, in its present defenceless
condition, should hoover run by these depredating
bands of robbers and murderers.
Eviry individual with whom I have recently
conversed upon this subject seems to feel that it
is necessary and highly important that tomitknig
fAou/<i be dune for the better security and safety
of ourselves, and tho families of our brave sol
diers who are far away from their loved ones, and
their homes. To all such I have suggested the
following plan of organizing which seemed to
meet wirb favor and approval:
Let every mun in the Distriet who can ride a
hcrse'and load and shoot a gun, enroll his name,
and as soon as thirty names are enrolled in st y
neighborhood, assemble at tonio convenient point
and.elept company officers, aud adopt rules and
regulations fer their government. As soon as a
sufficient number ef companies have been organ
ised to form a Battalion or Regiment, an election
should immediately be held Tor Seid officers, aud
those elected should be recognized, and obeyed,
and respected accordingly.
This much having been accomplished each mar.
msy ie'urn to bis mimi business without any
furtherinterruptibn, until an alarm is given wLen
he must repair immediately te tim place of rendez
vous previously agreed opon. Every mun will be
rrquired to keep bis horse, saddle and bridle,
where he caa obtain them at any moment. Also,
a gun of souia sort must be kept in good order,
with fifty rounds of ammunition, always ready lor
immediate use.
Now, Mr. EniTon, I am net wedded to this
plan, nor do I present it te the public KS one with
out any imperfections, but it recommends itBelf tu
mo ai one by which tho whole military forceo;'
the District can ho made avuilublo with tho lea?I
possible expense and inconvenience to the people.
If any one who feols and thinks as I do, that we
aro in great danger and that aomothiug should bo
done, and done quickly, and will offer a better
plan, be shall have my hearty co-operation.
Suppoio that ourrutbleis and indefatigable foes
should fit out an expedition at Port Royal, or Hil
ton Head for Auguota, (which u not at all im
probable.) and suppose tb-it ovury Distiict in ti.i.
State and every County in Georgi? between Au
gusta and the Coast, bad all their men organized
as proposed, is it ndt perotptnble, that, instead of
th? enemy making progresi without any opposi
tion, as he did recently In Mississippi, be would
have to fight bis way over every foot of ground
that bo dared to pointe with his unhallowed tread,
aud if not entirely routed and dispersed, would
be held In chook until ho tulgbt.be surrouudod
and capturod or destroyed, aud our people saved
from the woes, the unnumbered woes, that aro in
store for all those who are so unfortunate as tu be
overrun by those unscrupulous marauders.

Substituten.
MR. EniTOR.-There is a mania provailing for
tho employment uf substitutos in thc array. Citi
zens aro avoiding tho duty personally due t> thejr
uuqntry by getting it performed ( ' Cod save tho
mark,") by deputy. Is this conduct proper? ls
it patriotic? VT * think that the military system
of tho Confederate States ls defoctiro in this, thr.t
it permits tho enrollment of substitutes, in the
plueo of tho conscripted citizen.
Ey the military law of tho Confederacy, all citi
zen! between the ages of IS aud 45, are subject
to cunieription forservico in tho army. Congress
by selcctisg these periods of life, for the begin
ning and termination of military serrico, unques
tionably considered the person? falling within the
two ages, u'one qualified fur active service in the
field. It recognized these points of lime BS em
bracing the physical and mental perfection of :
man, but regarded more particularly hil physical j
j condition. Its views in this particular were in
ecoordapoe with the opinions of Physiologists.
With a strango disregard however of tho principle
of human perfection, it nevertheless permits the
conscript to substitute in his place another, who
has passed beyond the term at which, fitness for
service terminates. In other words, it has enact
ed that between 18 and 45 years, men are aloDo
flt for service in tho army, and yet it bas allowed
Others, over the latter age, and impliedly unfit, to
ta)te thelf place. In other words, it allows a man,
expressly declared tu be a proper soldier, to sub?.^.
stitute in his place another whom it recognizes,
by exempting from conscription, to be an improper
one. Il is true that Instances may be found, of
men over 45, who aro superior to others under
that age. These are however only exceptional
cases, not affecting the generality of the rule.
Tho system is not only defeetjro in this physi
cal element, but ii equally bad in its moral char
acter. What is au army composed of substitutes,
but an assemblage of hirelings, or mercenaries j
And what is an army of mercenaries worth, unless
in great numerical foi co? Reduce the slu tua of
the Confederate forces to that ol morcenarios, and
wc aro at once subjugated by the numerically ?u
pcrior mercenary force of tho Yankees. Ti. eeo me

plot/* a hireling force to defend itt freedom, it no
longer deterviuy ?f itt bleating* or it* name. " By.
their right arni the co: quest must he won."
What is a subs'itu er A human being, exempt
from service in the anjjy on account of uu?tmett,
who foa'a stipulated sum, takes the place of tho
citizen whom the military law has declared to'bo
fit. A rational biped, who runs ibo risk uf being
shot fer a premium. A character whom the in
justice and crimes of :'*e enemy, could not excite,
but whu is moved to uction alone by tho sordid
influence of money. Is there patriotism then in
such a man ? Are net fubstituies purchased by
the highest bidder? If tho Yankees were to out
bid tho Confederates, how long would wo hare an
army of hirelings ? How long can you keep
treason out of your camp, when you have such
merchantable matorial within it? How would
you present the dangerous communication of epics I
with such facile consciences -within your lines ? '
De our fellow-citizens reflect upon thc dangers 1
consequent upon a demoralized array ? Do they
over ponder upon the insecurity of their lives and
property if the army is overcome ? Tho comforts,

to obtain and enjoy by employing a hireling rab- | 1

manhood tu Mammon. Will tho citizen soldier
jeuia the hireling subititute a fit associato at the
mess, !u tho camp, or the Hold ? Will tho pres
tige of the Regiment be improved by the Intro- j 1
luction of this element. In our opinion this is a I si
lorious defect, and although in a communication ' [1
ike tho present wo cannot do more than notice
lomo of tho salient points.of the system, we trust S
hat enough has boen said, to satisfy the reflecting, S
