TIE GEORGIA STATE DIyISsEs
The refusal OF planters to respond to the re-
cent appeal Of the Governor for hands to work
on the Notifications, shows the real motive at
the bottom of former refusal, when they plead
q regard for principle o. an excuse for their
conduct. 20
We publish below, not another appeal, but
notification from the Governor, which ali would

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
E s-n1Aa MnLErGEvnLE, November l, 1862 r
To the planters Of Georgia: o9 r. -
Since my last appeal to some of you, am
informed by Brigsdier Gen. Mercer, command
ing ut Savannah, that but few hands have been
rendered. When the improvements made BY
Ger. Mercer, some weeks since, were loudly
complained Of, it was generally said that while
the planters objected to the principle of i'm
pressment, they would promptly furnish all the
labor needed, If an appeal were made to them.
1 am informed that Gen. Mercer now has ample
authority to make inpresements. If, then, .
suficint supply of labor is not rendered within
ten DAYS from this date, he will resort imme-
diatey to that means Of procuring it, with my
full sanction, and, doubt not with the sanction
of the General Assembly, INV, .e M
After you have been repeatedly notified of
the absolute necessity for more labor to COM
plete the Notifications adudged by the military
authorities in command to be indispensable to
the defense of the key to the State will you de-
Law action till you are compelled to contribute
means for the protection not only Of all your
slaves, but of your homes, your 6resides and
your affairs? tmsa oa agE 5a paa aja.l
/ will not believe that there was a want of
sincerity in your professions Of liberality and
patriotism, when many Of you threatened resist
ance to- impressment upon principle, and not
because you we're unwilling TO aid the cause
With your means. NAH os u s..-a..
I l renew the call for negroes to complete the
fortifcations around Savannah, and trust that
every planter in Georgia will respond by .
prompt tender of one eth Of all his working
men. ss.st-... tFe .sgg Isis. l -.-l.s
As stated in my former appeal, the General in
command will only accept the number actually
needed. ,ssl,g off "a Jos. +. BROWN.
