Every true-hearted Southerner must feel gratifed
with our Governors proclamation, calling out the
militia for active duty when the occasion may re-
quire.
We had hoped that it would not be necessary to
issue such an order. The patriotism of our c1ti'
zens, when discussing military affairs, runs up 10
fever heat, - and we have no reason TO coupt the
loyalty of those now in our midst; but Wheh We
look at the crowds in our streets, compared with
those under arms, we very naturally ASK ourselves
the question, "Why are not all males s !, W
military duty included in the ranks Is mere
any excuse for young mar, absentlng himself
from military drill, whereby he may the better
qualify himself for tile defence of hls immediate
| home4n If his situation be suchthat he cannet
enter the service of our Confederacy can ne otter
an excuse for not preparing himself tor success
| fully defending his city and his Statef" Shame
mon the young man who has not the will and
courage to defend the State that give him birth, or
that nourished him from her rich stores II there
| be any who do not imne dately come forward and
respond to the request of our Governor, we hope
that every good citizen, knowing such parties, will
make it their special business to report deinquents
to the proper officers, in order that none may be
overlooked or omitted in taking part in SO holy a
cause. The time has come when every citizen is
called upon to do his duty faithfully and feariessly.
Thousands of young men "having brave hearts y
promptly responded to the call OF their country,
and left comfortable homes and the endearments of
friends to meet the enemy at distance, and have
covered themselves with glory, and secured the
gratitude of every heart. May we not indulge the
hope that not one of those enjoying the comforts
of home will be slow to meet the Governors call,
or to face the enemy should he venture to put his
foot upon our soil.
Every man can do much, and it is the solemn
duty of every one to lend his aid, not even ex-
cepting those SO recently returned from having
spent pleasant summer amongst our enemies.
There are many inquiries about the Receiver and
sequestrated property. The office is now open at
Nc. IS Camp street. Any one having information
to communicate Will cali there. Wehaye no time to
be receiving information of this that and the other
nonresident. There has been great deal of lut-
tering among our new-fangled southerners. We
learn that two or, more valuable sugar estates,
with negroes, in the parish of Piaquemines, will
have to go, as it were, by the board: that three
thousand shares of the Commercial Water works
are held Northward, 400 shares by Charles I.
Stewart, son of old Com. Stewart. This will be a
good offset, npart for the seizure Of Capt. Hart
STEMS property of the Confederated navy stocks in
New York. t Gs ~ ... d.
Another detachment Of Hessian prisoners is eX-
pected to-day or tomorrow. II is hoped they will
be taken by the nearest road to Jail. The exhibi-
ton of last Monday, it is hoped, will not be re-
peated.s Having seen one lot of vagabonds, many
citizens do not care to look at another 1t is max
ing too much of these fellows, who would cut
Southerners' threats if they had an opportunity It
is suggested they be taken down the back streets.
