Ishan G.. Harris, Governor of the
State of Tennessee.
: Whereas, The Government of the Conied-
crate States having called upon me, through
General ALBERT SIDNEY JOHNSTON, for THIRTY
THOUSAND TROOPS, for immediate service, in
addition to those already in the field, it be-
comes my duty to proclaim to the gallant
citizens of Tennessee that their country de-
mands their services.
+ Camps of rendezvous will be established at
Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Jackson,
Trenton, and at such other points as may be
necessary for the accommodation of the troops
where they will be mustered into the service
OF the Confederate States by Companies, Bat
talions and Regiments, as they may present
themselves except Cavalry, which will b.
received by companies or battalions. The
troops having the right to elect their own
company, battalion and regimental officers,
except surgeons, quartermasters and COM
missaries, which win be appointed by the
President Volunteers for the war are great
Iy preferred, but will be accepted for the
term of twelve months.
1t is earnestly urged upon all who may be
able to do so to supply themselves with the
most effective arms the country affords, such
SIS the Tennessee rife, the double and single
barrel shot gun. These arms will be re-
placed by furnishing the troops with the reg
ular army gun at the earliest practicable
period.
Judging from the past know that it is
only necessary TO notify the gallant sons of
Tennessee that their services are necessary to
the common defence, and they will promptly
aad nobly respond to the call, thus perpetu-
atiug our claim to the proud title of 1.-THE
Volunteer Stute'i
To arms! fellow-countrymen TO arms
Let there be no delay. The insolent merce-
naries of the Federal Government are threat
ening al invasion of our homes, from every
exposed point upon our borders.
Let our gallant citizen soldiery assemble
in such numbers, and press forward with such
spirit upon the hireling invaders, as will
hurl them back upon those who sent them!
Let us call together an army sufficient, not
only to repel invasion, but to punish the ag-
gressOr-
To fill this requisition of the Government
of the Confederate States, l, Isham G. Harris,
Governor of the State of Tennessee, by virtse
of the authority in me vested, do hereby pro-
claim, that l viii accept for the service of
the Confederate States, as above specified,
