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.

Senator Bill's Letter tc an Enrolling
Officer.
Ma Eniroa: This distinguished Georgian .baa
done thc people and tho Army gorae Berrico in
the lotter which bo bat written to the Assistant
Enrolling Officer of Troupe County," Ga. 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? Military De
partaient, of the corruption with wbivb abounds.
If they fail to do this, how can they cr peet the
confidence and support of the people. Let them
then begin the work of reform at homo. . There
is a wide field to operate in, and very little com
