1'R6ISo RELUCTANT HEROES INTO TIE
TRENCHES.
From the Apgusta ConstitntionalIst, Nov so1
Our city hnf calmcd into iuc feeling of
determination and confidence. We still call
upon the nervous to join our already organ
lied and confident local troops, and get cuu
and ammunition and keep them ready 1T a
moments notice.
Our Arsenal battalion, with the other local
companies md details, combined with the
zens (Wbo should themselves, until the emer-
gency is over, become so1dfers) feel compara-
concerned.
The duty of every man, however, is to BIZ
prepared to render all the assistance in his
my, but to rout and destroy aud capture any
force venturing this way.
An APATHY EXISTING IN AUGUSTA.
From the Augusta Register, Nov. ~
It is high time that our citizens looked the
stern emergency in the face and prepared
themselves accordingly to ward off the dam
ger, The worst feature prevalent in our
multitude may reach to deeds and sentiments
OF heroisn, but apathy Is like the silence that
broods over the Dead Sea. The enemy can
be thrust back If We will it.
EVERY MAN TO HIS POST.
[From the Register, Nor. a9l
General Fry issues an order this morning
calling on all the men In Augusta to prepare
Immediately for the defense 0fthcir homes By
uniting themselves with some local organlza-
tion. We hare no need to say a word of the
Importance Of this call. It can no longer be
doubted that an insolent foe is in the very
heart Of our beloved Empire State, burning,
piilagtng and desolating the country they pass
over. Our homes are threatened with the
same fate that has thrust thousands from their |
homes In the upper portion Of the State. The |
enemy is coming with his hell hounds, thirsty |
Tor plunder, and the torch is red in his hands, |
lie would 1cave our beautiful city smou1d- |
erng heap OF blackcned ruins, our. dresides |
desointe, our women and children thrust out |
Of house and home, our affairs desecrated, and /
our whole country barren waste. Georgians, |
can there be need of IN appeal to rouse you |
to your duty in this trying hour! We think
not. Hyou are not insensible to all the prin-
clples Of patriotism : on will rally now-rally
rs one man to meet the coming fog; You will
not hare to stand alone to meet tho coming
storm. S7odiers are a1ready arririag, Others
IRE on their ray from Tir0inio. Shall they
come ind find you Inactive: Nay; let every
lrn now grasp its weapon, and every effort
be made to throw distractions in tile path
safety. Remain inactive, and the conse-
!uencc may prove fatal do your duty, and
Lhe overthrow of the enemy is sure.
