Military matters In Ge orgia,

The war scarcely furnishes an instsoc ce in
which the press and people of q State have
displayed more patriotic devotion to the cause
than both are now doing in Georgia
The militia are now responding to General
Hoods call for renforcemeuts en- masse, and
with an alscrity that shows that they are terri
oily in earnest, while the papers OF every shade
skulkers from the regular army to return at
once to their posts
We thus behold the energy of the persever-
ing and gallant commander backed by the
practical patriotism OF an unconquersble peo'
pie, Can Sherman by strategy or brute force
ever overcome such combination 2--Rich-
