The New Exemption Bill.
The following is the Exemption Bill repotted !
by Mr. Miles Chairman of the Military Com j
notice in llie House of Representatives. The
Hill was strongly opposed by many members
on the ground of its giving loo much power
to the President. Finally, it was, on motion,
. recommitted to the committee, with iustruci
tiotis to Iraine a Hill, specifying the class of per.
sons to be exempted. There is no doubt but
. that Congress will materially reduce the num.
i ber of Exemptions :
"The Congress of the Confederate Slates of
America do enact, That from and after tjie pas.
sage of this act, all white male residents of the
Confederate States, between the ages of eighteen
and forty-five years, except those consti
tuting the Executive, Legislative and Judicial
authorities of the Confederate States, and of
the several States composing the Confederacy,
are, and shall be, liable to military duty in the
serf ice of the Confederate States, and shall be
duly enrolled itt the same, in accordance with
existing laws, and ull laws and pattsoflaws,
exempting any person between the said ages
of eighteen and forty-five years, are hereby repealed
; Provided, That the Secretary of War
shall, upon such terms and conditions as may |
be preset ihed by him, and with the approval of
the President, exempt from all military service,
or detail for special purposes, such person or
persons, as, with the approval of the President,
lie may deem essential for the good of the ser'
vice, or the general interest of the country ;
Provided fill tlier, That the enrollment of per*
t sons between forty and forty-five years of age,
shall be suspended until the Pirsidcnt shall call
such persons into the military service."

The Legislature?Message of Governor
Bonham
The Legislature stood adjourned to reassemble
on Tuesday, the 20th iust. The fust day
there was no quorum ol cither House. On
Wednesday both Houses proceeded to business,
a quotum being present, and a short Message
fioni his Excellency, Gov. Ilonhatn was received
and read. Not being able to publish the Meat
auge entire, we will give an abstract of its most
mateiial pot lions:
The Governor recommends the passage of a
law to regulate the production of eo'.ton. He
says: ''Such a law ia needed to repress the aval
ice ot those who hoard their grain, with the
view of making larger gains by the production
of cotton. It ia due to the State herself, and to
the families of the men who arc now fighting
the battles of the country, that every lawful
means should be adopted to keep the breadstuffs
at a low standard of values.
Oh the subject of negro labor on the Coast,
lie informs the Legislature that while the Seeretarv
of War eordiallv atinrnvm tin. ...?
, _rl w...... |..Vvisions
of their Act upon this subject, lie doe*
not feel nutlioii/.ed to assent to tliut provision
which re<ptirt'? the Coitfodt rate Government to
pay foi negroes lost or captured, on the ground
tual Congress alone caii authoii/e it. lleucc
the Act is ns yet inoperative; ami theiefoie he
has not felt at liherty to arrest the operation, in
the meantime, of the resolutions of the Council
for supplying such labor as can be procuied
under then.. lie lurthcr adds that this subject
calls imperatively for ilrompt action on the part
of the Legislature. Nothing should be left utr
done to complete the defenees ut the earliest
practicable day.
He recommends that the State appoint an '
agent at Richmond to assist the sick and wounded
soldiers from this Slate in obtaining their
discharges, furloughs, pay and passports.
lie refers to ccitaiu embarrassments in the way
of executing the directions of the Legislature
in respect to the election of Field Ollicets for |
the First Corps of Reserves, ami says it was !
manifest lliat they could not be executed until !
the present meeting of that body. lie thinks I
that are have no power to order un election for
the field officers of regiments trannfered to the
Confederate service. Even where wlections
among such troops did take place, under tho j
laws ol the respective Slatlis, as was the case !
atone time, they were ordered by the Confederate
orticers, and not by the State authorities.
And he perceives no difference between the
regiments of Reserves ulready turned over to
the Confederate service for three months, and !
those for the war, so far as any right exists on 1
the part of the Stale to control their subsequent
elections.
The (J over nor rccomniauds that the Act ordering
these elections be repealed. He counsels
haiiiiony and concert of action, and says
there is every reason to apprehend an invasion
of our coast by tlie enemy.
Resolutions were offered in both Houses, and
agreed to, to the ?fleet that be referred tc tlie
committee on Confederate Relations to inquire
and report whether any legislation is necessary
in consequence of the Emancipation ptoclamalion
of Abraham Lincoln, l'residenl of tlie United
Elates, and of tlie course to be pursued by
Jefferson Davis, l'residenl of tlie Confederate
Slates, relative to such ollicers of the army of
the United Stales as may become the prisoners
of the Confederate Slates.
Mr. II, F. Perry offered tlie following resolution,
which was agreed to :
littohij. That it be refeared to the Commit'
tee on Roads, liridge* and Ferries to inquire
and report as to the propriety of calling out all
males between the ages of fifteen and sixty,
and all female slaves who are field hands lie- i
tween those ages, to woik on the public roads.
A hill in the Senate to vacate the commissions
of militia officers, iccuived the second
reading, w as agreed to. and was ordered to he
sent u> the Home of Representatives.
Senate Kent to the House for concurrence a
ievolution to ailjoum on Friday, the 3otli in.
slant which whs agreed to, and returned to the
Senate.
Anotiikr "Pirath" Out.?The Savannah lieyubluan
iiaa good authority for stating that die
Confederate war steaiuer Floruit, Captain Maffit,
has passed safely out of the harlior of Mo- |
bile, and is now riding tiie liigh seas in search
of Yankee robbers. This news will shock the
nerves of the Liiicoluites, hut they will lie worse
shocked when the returns from Muffil begin to
co ne in.
Advices from Norfolk, dated 18th inst., report
that a serious row occurred on the 11 lit
instant among the soldiers and negroes at the
fortifications below the city. It was finally
quelled by two regiments from the city.
A Northern repot t says that Longslrect lias
arrived at Shelbyville with thirteen brigades
from Lee's army, and rfill attack Roeenerans
neat week with the entire force, numbering
45,000 men.
Roseucranz has sent the Confederate officers
Captured at Vf ui freesboro to Alton, III., there
to be closely confined, in consequence of the
recent proclamation of President Davis denying
paroles to federal officers.
To Farucrs.?The Athens H'aJthmait gives
the following seasonable advice to lartucrs.
We hope every man, womad and child in
the Southern Confederacy who Iim a single
acre of tillable laud unoccupied by small grain
will plant it in pea*, coin, potatoes, or something
else suitable for man or beast. To do
this it is important it should be put in order
early. Do then, go to work at once. Let the
land be well prepared. If you have, or can get
manure, be sure to apply it. Plow deep and

Jnnunry '20, 1863.
Heai: Lidrer.? Hut little of iotcrest has
transpired within the limit** of our Camp
since iny last. We nrs still entcsinped upon
the con fines of old Georgetown, and on
the banks of Winyah Bay, so memorable in
the days of our old Revolution and made
classic as the haunts of the noble Marion,
and his dashing men. Hut I am happy to
state Hint some of the spirit that actuated
Marion and hi* men, still linger iu the bosoms
of their descendants, who are now encamped
in the swamps around George
j town.
Thin "ih (i gloomy d ly in camp, tlie ruin is
pouring down in torrent* and every soldier
in camp lias retired to liis tent and wrapped
himself in Ills blanket, except the lorn sentinel
upon his post, who shivering pace* the
limits of his line, whilst the rnin dashes in
his face with the iinpc*uosity of u small
Niagara, chilling him to the very liemt,still
| on he goes. This 'is duty, this is patriot
ism, in its purest state.
1 visited our ilstleries on rlie Winy ah
J Hay, 5 miles from this place, ths other day,
they appear to he very formidable, having
j some heavy pieces of artillery mounted on
! strong works, and they nre well situated to
resist any attack that may bo maku upon
! them by lite "Yanks." Thev are in eoiufortublo
quarters ami in line spirits. Our
Cavalry also appear to be in line condition
| and epirits-they arc well armed and mounted
and ready lor anything that may turn up,
and should the "Yanks"ever attack George
town you will hear good news both troin
the IhiUeries, Cavalry and liloody Eighth.
The steamer which run tho Blockade at
this place since we came here, loaded w ith
cotton, I sec lis* reached Nassau in safety.
So the Blockade which "Abe" lias placed
at Georgetown is not very efficient.
A lire occurred in this place on ths night
of the 4th, destroying live bouses, two I
dwelling* and three* kitchen*, one id which
wim the Methodist par?onnge, and the other
the property of a Mr. Ward, neither was inhabited,
and is thought to he the work of
an incendiary.
A negro wui hung in Georgetown on the
6th, for un attempt to gel to the "Yank*,"
and for trying to induce other* to go with
him.
A pleasing incident occurred here the
other day, the Colonel had given *oine one
a piece of Tobacco end the "weed" being
very scarce in ('amp, some 2 or 3 called
upon hitu to know how lie sold Tobacco,
lie smiled and said he had none fur sale,
hut perhaps if they would called on the
Adjulant he might supply them. The la*t
I taw ot them they were unking tlieiy way
to the Adjutant'* quarters, in h'gli glee, anticipating
a fresh "quid" of the old Virginia
"leaf." Hut whether tliey e' er received the
desired 'Weed" or not I cannot say.
Our Regiment is in Hue condition, hut
little sicklies* prevailing ar.d but few death*
only *ix hating died since we came into
service, one from ('apt Casson's company,
four from Capt. Mclvnight's, and one from
(.apt. Iluile's.
We have five sick in our company, M

suit* arrived at are?that between the age* )

The consequences deduced from these facts
are ?I. That until the age of twenty five 1
re-vaccination is u*rle*a. 2 That from '
that age to thirty five it produces useful effect*
upon a very small number of persons, !
and that consequently it need not be very ;
