Enrolling 0 cer of Troupe County : L?GR?KGE; GA., 0ct^5,186-1 BEAR SIB :'In answer to jour inquiriei will mike a statement of facts and reasc in.e^Iasation of the late order requiring x^atr??bjt>.and:re^nrollm?nt ot ali perso b?Jrwoen-the age* of seventeen and.-fil years. Bythe lawa-oi Congress,. all persons I tween "these ages are declared to be in t " military s?mee of the -Confederate Stati Those between eighteen and forty-five a enrolled for service in the field, and tho between seventeen and eighteen-and fort five and .fifty, form a reserve -corps to di charge the various duties connected with tl service not in the field. But the plain lactis,ascertained to be th not mote than- one third of the men -fit f< riuty-'between the ages of eighteen and fort "' i?T?j'are actually present with the armies : the field. Where are'the two thirds? Wb ?xexwe-haye they for being away ? By who; pertniwinn and for what reason are 'hey pe witted to-be away ? To get thewe men to tl field, and to ascertain and expose and iem dy the varions frauds by which they have thi . far been allowed- to remain away from dut; foxnttne purpbsb'of the order which you ai now called on to execute. If this order sha be faithfully executed, our armies will b replenished, the enemy be will defeated, an oor-eountry recovered from their, possessio! If this.order shall not be faithfully executei then the. whole machinery of what is calle the Conscription Bure?c. is. shown to bo failure, and those engaged in administerin it ought themselves to be ordered . at once t th? field. jUjMW, Grant writes home that oar raateric fi), ?be army ia exhausted ; that our only rt liance now is children and old men,, and fo .this reason he begs the people of Via Norti to submit to the draft and press ;i<a littl longer,"and we cannot but fail; His state meat is not true. We do hav?: the men be tvreea tho ages i>f Eighteen and forty-five ti whip this {??ht, and that speedily, if they cai be brought to dutr. But two-thirds ofthes mecaro absent ! "This staring fact is enoug] to make every* old man and woman iu tin 'land turn voluntarily enrolling o flic er. ' Your "first duty is to Tegistc-r every whifi male between the ages sp:-cified in your or ders. Mark the language : Every one, I matters not.what, his age, position or busi nes?. Register the m an and his excuse. I the exc:ne be good, the man is not harmed and i fit l*e bad, the man moat be sent to dat; and the method by which he kai heretofore evaded duty must bc exposed and its authoi published. There are many absent frjra our armiet who haxe furloughs or Ieayes of absence whicl are not legal or proper. Many . are grand c by subordinate officers, aspecial ly to theil relations and favorite?, who have.no authority to grant them. Many arc granted', by tl? proper authority, upon nntrue repr?sent?t iona or for reasons that have ceased to exist, anti ronny are forged. Many have been detailed for some ligbl duty while sick or slightly wounded, who still remain away under cover of such details long after health bas been restored or the wounds have healed, In all cases, details rind ex* emptions and when tbe reasons for granting them cease. Never cease your inquiri?* where is shown a paper granting a detail or exemp tion, but know whether the refrson for grant ing it was true and continue? to exist. Many have applied l'or exemptions and details, abd received furloughs, which are re newed from time to time until the applio tions shall be finally determined. Some of these employ .lawyers, falsely so-called, who, if they do not get the final order a? desired, can, at least, delay final action-thefeei fter. being measured by the length cf the delay. Thun an ungranicd application is made practically to operate as a d?charge from aervice. Some persons are st il l'carry i ng olJ com missions where tbeir offices have ceased, but the commissions have not been surrendered or cancelled. Many are showing i ontrncts in every con ceivable shape-many of them spiricus-and upon them claiming exemptions or detuils. Mo contract whatever with the Government entitles a man per KO, to an exemption or de tail. The contractor must show-the order from the War Office for his detail or exempt ? lion, ahdA the Score Unyif War himself can not grant except opoinlfe certificate of the chief of the burea u that the personal atten tion of the contractor is indispensable to the proper execution of the contract. Many hare certificates from some bureau or under officer of a buKOun, stating that the .bearer is appointed to some duty or make in definite investigation. I saw one, some time since/stating t bat the bearer was appointed to examine for iron and copper deposits in certain counties where such deposits were never inspected to exist : and where, if ex hau? tl ess qnntities did exist, the bearer would never find them. All such appointments are .; without authority. Many are clerks, agent? and employees of Quartermasters, Commissaries and other offi . cen?. ?jo such officer has tho right to ap point any man as his agent, clerk or employee in, any capacity, who is between tbe ages of ?igiifeen and forty-five, unies* snob a man is * -disabled from aervico in theTield. Mark the word-not tick or wounded-but disabled. . . Many are ac:ing as provost marshals and goorda, agents and provost marshals, in onr interior towns. No such effioef is authoriz ed byliw, and bo.power, not even the Presi dent, Secretary of War, or Commanding .General of a* army, has the right to appoint such at? officer outside the lines of the army, and all such, with their numerous retinue, are illegally away from their commands. The same remarks apply to military commandants away .from the army. The number who have surgeons' certificates of ill health in tbeir pockets and natures'i certificate of good health in their persons_I the truth of the latter certificate being con firmed by the patients' daily habits-are be yond eatimath.n. When you find such I think you ought, in charity, lo assume that 'the health ha? be^n-restored since the certificate waa given. I desire in this conne?tion to state- two fVjcts, .of the truth of lrotbof whit h I have - no doubt. The first is that tbe greater por tion bf the8e absentees are enabled to remain away from duty by the inefficiency or inten tional negligence (louse no harsh term) ot the enrolling and medical officers, and their assistants. The second is that while thus content in roany ca?=e3f they have been in other coses, as if to satisfy conscience cruelly ?nd unmercifully oppressive. There is no excuse for either fault, Instances have been reported to ino of enrolling officers and med ical, boards advising and directing applicants for exemption, details, etc., to go to lawypf > bf their own naming, to make out their appli cations aud appeals. Those who complied and paid well, found easy treatmeof.. Those who declined, found tiea'ment not *oessy. I .Ute broadly, that it W?R nev-r intended that honest applicants cf this kind nbo-tld n??rd lawyers,-and thay neyer can need them when (rf&cers do their duty, ' r . It is said t-hat abpnt 10 OOO men are kept at horne in .Georgia protected by militia com missions and hy certificates thajt they are" nec e.*s?ry t?'tlie-?dininistration of the Stale G JV ernment.' It is said that men are protected tb ns wjtb*-contracts to furnish wood to rail roads.'Tam hot disposed io ct edit these 8tatemeTits, but if the enrolling officera now do their- duty we shall soon, know the num ber of men ?t home and the Tarions reasons for it. It has been said t Iso that the newspaper offices everywhere haTe abused the privilege allowed them by the law of exempting their emplbyees-'and have exempted[an un usual and unnecessary number. I do.not know this to be so,-but if so, it cannot be improper fox Congress at the -ensuing session to know the name? and numbers exempted For each office. I have written this letter fer your assistance and in answer to your inquires. But my only object is to serve the country at this hour.of ita fate. Neither you nor loan better serve it than by getting the absentees to join their commands1 in the field. Therefore, you may usc this letter aa you please. ' I will riot close without expressing my sin cere gratification with theearne6t spirit which you are manifesting in the discharge of your unpleasant duties. Tours,"very truly, B. H. HILL. [From the Augutta. Chromed k Sentinel.] The Meeting of the Governors. At a meeting of the Governors of the States of. Virginia,' North Carolina, South Carolina? Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, held in Augusta, Ga., on Monday, - the 17th inst.,*Gov. "Wm. Smith presiding, after a full, fr. e and harmonious consultation, and. inter change of council,' the following among other views were expressed: . ;. Resolved, That there is nothing in the present aspect of- public affairs lotause any abatement of our zeal in the prosecution ol the war to the accomplishment of a peace, based on the independence of thc Confeder ate States.. And tor-give encouragement to our brave sold iers in the field and to strengthen the Confederate authorities in the pursuit-of this d?sira* le end. we will use our best exer tions to increase the efteetive force of onr annies. Resolved, That* thc interests of each of our States are identical in the present struggle, for"self government, and wisdom and .true patriotism dictate that "the military forces of (tic-j should aid the others against invasion and subjugation, and for this purpose we will recommend to our several legislatures to re peal all such laws?3 prohibits the Executives, fr?m sending their forces* beyond their re spective limits, in ord?r that they may ren der temporary service wherever most urgent ly required. Resolved, That whilst it is cur purpose to use every exertion to increase the strength and efficiency of our State ar.d Confederate forces, we respectfully and tarnestly request that the Confed?ralo authorities will send to to the field every" able bodied man, without excepf?un. in any of its various departments, whose places can be filled by other disabled officers and. soldiers, senior reserves or ne groes, and.dispense witir the use of all pro vost and post guard, except in important cities, br localities where the presence ol lar ?re* bodies of trap's make them necessary, and with all passport agents upon railroads not iu the immediate vicinity of-the armies, as we consider tbe-te agents an unnecessary annoyance to gaud citizens and cf no possi ble benefit to the-country. Resolved, That we recommend our respec Live legislatures to pass stringent laws for the arr-f-t and return to their commands of all de*erters and s'rar-glers from the Confed [ederate armies or State troopsj and that it be made the special duty under appropriate ppn?tie?, of all civil And military officers to arre^-t and deliver to thc- propsr* authorities ail such delinquents. And whereas, the public enemy having proclaimed the .freedom of "ur slaves, .are forcinc? into their armies the able-bodied por tion thereof, the more effectua-Hy to wnge their cruel and bloody war against us, there lore be it Resolved, That it i? the true policy ard obvions duty of all slave owners timely to remove their -daves from thc line of the ene my's approach, and especially thorfe ab'e to bear arms ; and when they shall lail to do to j [bat it should be made the dilly of the proper fiutborities to enforce the - ot fornianr-e of tl . duty and to give to such owner** all nec essary a*-"staiice as far as practicable. Resolved, That the course of the- enemy iu appropriating our slaves who happen to full into thpir hardi? to purposes of war seems to justify a change of policy on our part ; ind whilst owners of -daves under the circumstances ehoald freely J ield them io their country, we recommend io our auihoii tie.s, nuder proper r?g?'ations to appropriate .Heh pirt of them to the" piibl-e service ni* may-be required. Resolved, That the Sy-ij?s b'a*-i the right to export such productions and to import such supplies as may be nect ssary for State ose, or for the comfort or support of their j troops in service, upon any vessel or vessels j owned or couriered by them ; abd that wo ! request Congress at its next session to {KISS laws removing all restrictions whuvh have been imposed by Confederate authority upon such exports or imparts by the St ato. And last Iv, we deem it not, inappropriate to declare our firm and unalterable purpose, a* we helieve it to be that of our fellow citi zens, to maintain our right csf self-govern ment, to establish our independence, and to uphold the rights and sovereignty of thc States or to j>cri-.b in the attempt. Resolved, That the Chairman be requested to eend a copy of these resolutions to his Ex cellency President Davis, and also one each to the President.- .of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Repr?sentatives to be laid before the respective bodies.

Eo showa very conclusively the lamentable defects of our military tystcm, and the outrageous skulk ing of the able bodied m*n, by means of fur loughs, details, and the other biddon and my .-te- j rions machinery of Enrolling, add other depart ments. Ho. satisfies you that the numberless characters loafing about tho country as guest details, cannot legally Lo detailed from tho Army, rare by the authority of tbs Secrotary of War; and. that tko boat of Impressing Agents are act ing wholly without any legitimate appointment, and consequently wi th cut lawful authority. If all th? influential men in the arv ral Dis tricts and Counties of "tho respective States of the Confederacy, would turn their'attention to the actings and doings of the quad military characters in their immediate neighborhood; would superintend and supervise their conduct, and exercise a wholesole^ sitrveilNnce over their morals and their manners ; and compel them thereby to a patriotic, earnest, impartial and honest discharge of their d'ty, they would do themselves more credit, and the Confederacy in finitely mora service, than by their criticisms of President Davis, and diatribes upon his military and political policy. We eommend' to every man of influence in tbs Confederate States the letter of Senator Hill, and urge" upon them the necessity of using their character and influence to cleanse life Augean stable of th?
