GeOrgia.

The imminent danger which threatens Georgia
has called forth the last and most extraordinary re-
sources of that commonwealth. We see published
in the Macon Telegraph of the 21st address from
portion of the Georgia members of Congress, as
suring their people that President Davis is exerting
his utmost strength to relieve them in the present
emergency; and calling upon every man to hy to
arms remove their negroes, horses, cattle and pro-
visions away from Sherman's srmy, and to burn what
they cannot carry, together with all bridges and to
impede his progress by further blocking the roads,
The Augusta Chronicle d Sentinel of the same
date says that reinforcements arriving in that
town, and that Gen. Breckinr:dge is moving upon
Sherman, as fast as possible, from East Tennessee
Gov Joseph E. Brown has also issued stirring
proclamation calling out the militia of Georgia en-
nasse from 16 to 55 years of age; and inviting the
judicial and legislative departments of that State,
which are exempted from compulsory service, to
report to Gen. G. A. Smith, as volunteers for 40
days service at Macon or elsewhere. His cali ex-
empts only Express, Telegraph ard Railroad opera
tives, and ordained ministers of the Gospel All
others must report or be subject to the penalty OF
desertion and all State officers are required to be
active and vgilant in the execution of his orders.
The Governor says the enemy has penetrated al
most to the centre of your State. If every Gecr-
gsn able to bear arms would rally around him, he
could never escape" But Sherman has large and
disciplined army, flushed with the memory Of for
mer successes, and is rapidly pressing forward up.

RALEIGH: FRIDAY. NOV. 25, 1854.
The Legislature.

We gave in our last summary of the proceed
ings of this body on Monday, and wepublish to day
the proceedings of Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thurs
day.
Giles Mebane, Esq, Of Aamance, has been re-
elected Speaker of the Senate, and Richard S. DON
NELL ESQ, of Beaufort has been re elected Speaker
of the House of Commons. These gentlemen are
thoroughly informed in parliamentary law and are.
in all respects, we'll qualified for the arduous duties
assigned them. Their unanimous re election is not
only high compliment to them personally, but it
affords practical proof of determination on all
sides to promote harmony in the Conservative
party.
c. R. Thomas, Esq, of Careret, has been re-eect-
ed Principal Clerk of the Senate, and R. G. Badger,
ESQ. of Wake, Assistant Clerk. And Maj. Rufus
8 Tucker, of Wake, has been elected Principal
Clerk of the House, and John A. Stanly, Esq, of
Beaufort re elected Assistant Clerk. These gentle
men will all make efficient officers. Messrs. Thom-
as and Stanly are model Clerks.
N,lll Mckay, Esq, of Harnett, b. >. Moore,
ESQ., of Stokes, and F. Phillips Esq, of Edgecombe,
have been elected Engrossng Clerks. These gen.
teman are we'll qualified for their duties which are
much more important than they are commonly
supposed to be.
On Thursday Gen. O. H. Brogdsn, of Wayne
was re elected Comptroller of State and R. H. Bat
tie, Esq., of Anson, was elected State Auditor, both
without opposition. Both of these gentlemen are
excellent officers.
Nor should we omit allusion to the Doorkeepers.
Mr.. Page was re elected Principal, and Mr.. Tally
Assistant Doorkeeper to the Senate; and Mr. Kings
bury was elected Principal, and Mr.. Hill reelected
Assistant Doorkeeper to the Commons. MeSsrs.
Page, Tally and Hill have performed their duties
acceptably during former sessions, and Mr.. Kings
bury will no doubt make an active and efficient Of
fcer.
There are several important offices yet to be
filled by joint ballot vote. We trust that the
same harmony and unanimity will prevail in future,
as in most of the elections already held
The great duty of the Conservative party is to
maintain civil liberty among ourselves, to aid in
defending the country against INVASION and to make
earnest and persistent efforts for an honorable
pe,ce We appeal to all Conservatives to stand
firmly by their principles to present an unbroken
front to the Destructves and to resolve that the in
tegry of the Conservative party of the State shall
be preserved at all hazards.
