PUBLISH ZD BX ORDEB or TUS M?KTI:;C Yo ur" Com mi t tee bave felt mach embarrai in the performance of the duties whioh har assigned them. They bave been selected 1 * pole for your adoption & alan for the fora of u military organisation which is to inclo those who, are willing, in this pressing emerj to enroll th s irre elves as .members of your as tion, and to be 'in readiness to perform any i .which inay fall to their lot itt the comara fence. It is no haliday show in which w . about to engage. It is true that no ?mme dangerJs to bs apprehended ! froat the arj thc enemy, but ire have all teen enough, i last three weeks, to be convinced tba?no p. our country is safe, unless protected hy tho . - ence pf a larga military force. -In this til danger, then, it is our duty, and it should b privilege, to preparo for any military exig thatjnay arise. It wiH be too Jato to seum tocsin of alarm when our villages are sm oki; our fields ravaged,-our household Gods desi .od, and oar virgins violated. These thingi oourse, we are not able to foresee, but. we are to prepare for thom before band, so that if do com? wo may be ablo to meet them with i terminad front, and confident hca?u. The ably manner in which ?we can effoct determination, and bring abc ut thtanannfiden for us to form ourselves, at ot oe, intosome 1 ? of military organization, which shall bec ? manded by gbodand true men; andi in wi every ono, whose heart shall prompt bim to ] tect every thing that Is m^t dear and sac; 'shall hayo' a place. For ?bis organization i ~ most practical plan is the best, and the mosts pie is' the nrost practical. Your Committee S * therafcro adopted for your consideration a si and simple, basis of a military organizati which they trust will meet with your approi In this plan,. it is perhaps needless to say, tl they have been governed sololy by their des for the good of tho community, and by jthc ht that they would thercby.be enabled taeffectson thing looking towards an organized military < . x fence, should the occa*iej?evo.r arise. ' Before the presentation of the plan which th -fthave adopted, your Committee deem it their du to notice, in a.few words, the objects of this i tended organization, aud to ant wer, ,as best th may be able, (he varioo? objections which th have hoard urgcd.againct it. Although, as'nuist be evident to every ox the whole community, individually, and col!? tively, are interested in this matter, there h seemed te be an almost universal apathy OJ leathargy porvading all classes as to thc obje for which your mealings havo been coiled. A though thoy must know that th? enemy ii ce. ns, and that, (being dependent almost entire for his supplies upon tho country surroundir. his lino of march-it is possible-nay prvbubk that ho may como into our own District, th ore I carry on his work of devastation, the citizens ai resting quietly under tho shade of thou* own viz and fig,kee. as if they possessed some speck immunity from tho m ons trot. - pillage and cai nage carried on by the enemy. Varions cause may har o conduced to ibis result. Up to tbi tinae ou - State has been singularly blessed in bc eacapr from tho wholesale work of murdur act ' violence which has leen visited upon our siste States, but can our citizens suppose that thei sta .* affairs is to continue during thc war ? D< / the ot know that whenever, in the fortune o W' bo .enemy may become possessed' of ott cn .uiry, the tcsucs of bloodshed which will thci be enacted cannot bc-cqualled .by 'tho\e xecbrdci -.oh any page r?f history? D<4%hey suppose ihn tun enemy do not know that the Dijlric of Edgefiold, in particular, has ..alwsy? beei clamoring for a separation from her bas? and unprincipled Northern kindred? Do tbcj suppose that the enemy havo forgotten thc Dis trict which sent forth a B::.F.I.KR, a BROCKS anc aPiCKfcxs?.. If they do then wco bo lo then when the enemy shall awake-to Ibeir.recollectior -, of these things. ' Some of our citizens bare said that there is nc nae fora military organization, for-tae reasoi that we arojso very weak that we.can never e?Tccl ' any thing in tho shap?> of defence. A good rea son-truly; a reason, which, bad lt been urged upon our armies-in the field before the battles ol Boll Run and Manar gas would have lost ?ST en tirely those battles, tft.well as many others. Ii we are weak we can become stronger by anion . and organisation. We can prepare to moot tho enemy, if they should come, in some kind of order, and should we at last not be aile to pro tect our wives and our children, we sah.it least die with honor before them, ?nd carry with ns the respeet of our countrymen. Thcro ls another objection, however, and a more serious one, which has been urged against the proposed organization, and that is that we cannot make those interested perferm the duties required of tbqji unless we have the authority of law. This, your Coramittee aro unwilling to be lieve-they cant?ot believe that the "men who" Lavo sent their, socs and their brothers-to the battle-field, there tc encounter the enemy, face to face, and heart to heart, in the very fury of his hate, will.shrink", in any manner, cr refute to perform their alloted share in the troubles which have come upon our beloved country. " It cannot be possible that when our citizens know that our worst enemy is near us, and ptrhope, with rapid strides, is gathering around onr very firo-fides , . and hearth-etones-when, they know that bun drcds and thousands of our x?untrymc-n ?rc now houseless and homoless, . fiying frem thc track of this monstrous destroyer-when they know * that our ifcarest city is even now fearfully trcm blHig in the scales of-destiny, and ere long may Le called on to bear her part in a. bloody and re> , morseless struggle-perhaps to nri/e with a mien erect and bro-.r defiant-perhaps to ehow tut the hot^moko of her Burning "dwelling?- it cafcxot be possible that in times li kt*; h ese, eur' citizens will wait for the penalty of the lew lettre they will organ iso* and prepare to defend their wives and their children. We all havo our allotted task. Io lho?e,of ns who aro dobamtl the dear and holy privilege of defending our country, on tie field of baltic, hns fallen, the jot nf protcctirg tboio who pre unable to protect themselves. ? Oar socs and our brothers, anil all cf'cur kin dred havo made for themselves an immortal re cord-let-as be careful that our Saties shall be well performed^-that wo may not blush to meet them when they return.

Your Committee, after mature deliberation, hat? com? t? tb? caneluiion that the fellowing is the best plan that you can adopt,- fdr patrol pur I posea, and for a military organiza tita. They rcoommend that all citizens who aro at home, anjkwho deem it -their duty to organise, in the prosect emergency, should immediately forsu themselves into a permanent Society, to last during tho war, whose , objecta (hall be- to preserfe, as tar. as they are- ubi?, - the. proper po lice-?nd patiplof the country, and, in the eTent. of any sudden invasion ef raiding parties front* thf enemy, toproteot thejvdmen and children. LshVthie Seciety be formed, under th? name and stylo of-"Th* Confederate Leagtt,^ and ?air I upon all .good and iron men,, within a radius of j ! say, saves miles from this Court Houito, to enroll themaelveaai members thereof. Let thia' Sooiety, aa soon as formed, efcnt their Offieer?from among " the members, to wit:-president,. vice-President,f Secretary and Treasurer; and let a Solsot Cein littee be appointed to'propose a written Consti tution and By-Laws for th? Government ,of tho ! said Sooiety. -Let a Minute Book be kept by tho Secretary, in which the said Constitution arid Ey ,Laws, shall*be ins-ribed, and let the nam? of eaeh meaba-, as h* proposes himself for member ship, be enroll In the said book; and lat him' be require**, on boco ming a. member, to take an .eatbthat bo shall faithfully and promptly com ply, ia every ?articular, with tb? said Coaatita tion and By-Laws, and that.be will not fail, in any respest, to okay the order? that may be give? sim by thc properly constituted Officers of/tho said Sooiety.' ' . '- ' . WHien- the Soeiety ia fenn ad, and the election ef Offieori has taken place, let the Preaident thereof select, out of th? sam es oa the roll, to many names (toke or der od by tho Society) from among them aa he thinks will make prompt, and fkithfal Chiefs, and let all the "members ef tl?? Society thon bo formed into Squads of throe (eaeh Squad, to consist of the members living nearest each other) by the Pr?sidons,'by and with the advice and concurrence of the Soeiety, ahd let each one of the Chief*, named by the Presi dent, bo assigned to the command of one. o? the Squads^ each Chief being placed in eommand of tho Squad, the members of which live nearest to kim. Let thia .organization of Squads be entered in' th? Minute Book kept by thc Secretary, for-tho ready information of the Preaident and. mem bers; and let each Chief, with his Squad, take als lara of patrolling the country, at night, for levon milos around th? centre of the squad lina This will ensuro the tranquility of the country, IO far a? regards the travelling of negroes, and .viii also ba beneficial io giving an opportunity bo these'Squads Of capturing any escaped Fede ral prisoners, with which, oar District seems to be" flooded. The Secretary of the Society should be required, j by direction of the President, to give notice be fore-hand,, in writing, to the aeveral Chiefs of I Squads, es to when their various tours . of duty itill come round. The proposed Society may in -th* course of 3 vents, bo at :omo expanse tc carry )ul its ob (octa; and, to mea* thia probable exponae, it ia respectfully recommended that each member thereof, on joining the same, shall be required :o pay, as It were, an initiation fee, into thc btyxde if the Treasurer, with which amount each mem 3er, cn*paying tho same, shall be credited on the >ooks. So far na tho civil (that is, tho patrol) part of j h:? organization is concerned," the members ibonld all bo-under tho direct orders of the Prosidont thereof, but should any nrilit?ry ext-, jeney arise they should bo required to connect hemselves with the Beat Company cf this Vii ?ge, nedor tho command af its present Cuptain. rbis would swell the ranks of the said Company, j nto & useful military. organization, and-would rite it much more strength and efficiency than it ?us at present. ' It should also be determined by tho S??iety as o what signal shall be given if any. invasion or 'Aid by" the enemy should bo. attempted. This 'ignal should^be one which eau bc scerf and un lerstood at a distance: und it thould also be ?ept secret in tb? Soeiciy, so that .it might not secornp entirely usiless tc us.in the event that ve shcnld haw among nt any ?c?.rdi .cnemitsa. Thc foregoing remarks cubrwt a post simple ind piarn plan for r.s organisation, such as we ?equire, and your Coinrolttar hhve atteir-'ted te jrosent it in such a inannor that lt wy be en arged upon, or detrncted from, af?, ii.your better^, udgment, may seem meet and proper. Your Committee would respectfully recommend that all citizens in other parts of the District, net4 ?mbraeed in the proposed radius,'should be invi ted and urged by you te inaugurate for thesa jclree a plan similar to the di* we propose, se that, in arty prcising emergency, we may be able to act together, and give to any part of the Dis trict as I?-.'.;: pid and assistance es maj be com patible with eur own iii?,??diate d?fonce. In regard to a system of couriers, whick bas aden proposed in your meetings, your Committee' irouid report that thoy have oonferred with the Enrolling C?ctrof .the District, and tbathopro peaes to ??ve you ail the troubla and expense, involved^ such a system, by inaugurating tho janie himself. Ho promises, ia tho event of an smergency, to give us thc most accurate informa tion in the shortest possible space of time. Your Cosa'mitteaVould therefore recommend-that this part of tho'organization bo left with kim. He has. also informed your Committee that ho bas, already organized uni undar orders^ Squads >f kis Supporting Force in tho various portiata jf tho Diatrict, which Squads will be placed un ier.orders to co-operate' with the Squads ef the proposed Society, in any manner thc*: the. occa sion may seem to require. In conclusion, your Comraittoe.woald respectful y, bat earnestly, recommend that whatever action you may* take.in tho premises should, be taken at once. The occasion demanda .promptness and activity, cad it also demands .thai we should one and all act together, with harmony ind concord. Bospactfully submitted, _ B. C. BRYAN, Intendant. M.

Incidents ol Sherman Retreat through Georgia. A'covr-jspondent bf the Macon Telegraph gives, that journal, the annexed account' of I aotne o? the diabolical deeds committed by I Sherman's.-fand?is-on their retreat through Georgia: . The enemy carried off a large .numhejr of able bodied negroes, many of "whom, howev er, have returned Jo their masters. All good" looking colored .gals were carried off by the officer?. In one instance a giri, nearly whit?, waa taken*, and-when her husband, a slave, attempted to follow and. reclaim her, he was ruthlessly killed. She was free and' under the control .Mr; J, H.

The church at Gris woldyill?-W8S hurnt and the Masonic Lodge at Gordon shared tile samo fate-with all the records, jewelry,, 4c- belonging to the .Lodge. - The Wayside Home afrGordon was also destroyed. - 'k One young lady of goad family was raviih ed by'negroes with the army, and in .two other instances attempts to commit violence were made, r . Mr^avid Solomon, an old and respecta ble citizen, Was twice swung np, -In'his own | house, to make him reveal where his money was hid. He at last informed them.. ' Theyxarriodo'ff some five thousand dol- J lars in specie, and burnt a large amount of J Confederate money. His loss was heavier than any other citizen of the place. They also robbed the estate of J. H. Foun* tain of $5t}00 iii specie,: besides .a large amount of Confederate currency. Mr. Baker'B housej two miles from Gris-j woldville, was occupied by the enemy as a hospital.. Their wounded were quartered there, and Mrs. Baker turned out of. doors. When the Yankees left , they burned the house, giving as a reason for so doing, that it ? was deserted. Gen.
