Another Yankee Raid in Georgia and
North Carolina.
WALHAh1A, Feb, "a, 1864. =
EDITOR OF THE REGISTER From the
most, reliable and abundant. evidence The
Yankees and traitors, about II, 900 or 20.
1000 in number, are now occupying portions
of Cherokee County, North Carolina, and
Towns County, Georgia They have with
them in this raid both infantry, artillery,
and cavalry, and from the number of their
wagons seem 70 indicate more permanen!
occupation than the last cavalry raid some
months ago. They are spoilating upon the
citizens, and have already captured many
of our furloughed soldiers especially Of
the 30th North Carelins regiment. Conver.
SAINT with the geographical features Of this
region ef country as / am, and acquainted
with the predominant predilections Of the
citizens to Che Federal Union, Ideclafe TO
the people of Georgia, as 4 did in 9 private
letter few days ago, TO your most estima-
bic Governor, Joseph 3. Brown, if sufh
cient force is not Immediately sent to Blairs-
vile, in Towns county, or some approximate
point to expel. the Yankees and their bush,
whacking allies, you will soon have sec.
ond East Tennessee formed out Of the coun.
ties. of Fsnnin, Towns, Union, MuEy and
Rabun, Georgia; Jackson, Macon, Gheto-
kee and Clay, North Carolina. Beside,
there are many Union sympathizers in Pick
ems and Anderson Districts, s. Carolina.
= We must have to defend this country
with some other troops besides Home Guards
troops that do not now reside, or ever
resided in this portion of these States. The
expulsion of the Yankees and tories from
/ this portion Of the Confederacy must be
immediate and signal-no temporising or
coneiliatory policy, but war to the bitter
end. Tknow that. one Of the best officers
for this purpose that the Governor Of Geor
gia could appoint is attempting to raise q
battalion for home defence in those ooun-
ties. But Col. Yonpg has as yet raised only
six companies. Whether they are reliable
Tor we'll armed I know not This !, howav-
er, do know, that ammunition and pf6yis.
ions must 3be.sans them before they can be
efficient. There is; osforce in West n,
Carolina contiguous to. the present theatre
of their murders and ypoliation that can
lor will resist their march on GreensiIle
and Anderson, South Carolina, or Gaassille
or, Athens, Georgia, or Franklin, Waynes.
vile or Asheville, North Carolina. They
are already emboidened BY the little re-
sistance they have heretofore met, by The
cordial 1sympathy and cooperation Of many
citizens, andsthe probable success Of fmuch
booty. - ~ -
| !, If the Governor Of South Carolina and
North Carolina, and of Georgia, do not at
once adopt the most effective and signal
means of expalliu Che Yankees and tories
from this portion Of Georgia and North
carolina all West Of North Carolina aa
far as the mountains, and all South Carroll.
ma as far as the junction of the Greenyille
and Anderson Railroad, will, in less thar
-four months, be in the possession Of the
Yankees, ,or desolatsd BY their destructive
raids. The only preventive is the success
of Gen. Longstreet, in their total expulsion
from East Tennessee. Once in the posses.
sion of the mountain passes, and they for
tilted, the Yankees will be as powerful to
resist us with a small force as We would be
now under similar "circumstances" to re-
sist them. Do not tell me they cannot ..oc-
cupy this country, from its isolated position
and scarcity of provisions Did these OBJ
stacles ever deter them from occupying any
vital position7 Do they not step by step,
overcome, or attempt to overcome, obstacles
that would dishearten or sppals almost any
other soldier. Give us regiment OF two
of old soldiers as infantry, with few pieces
Of artillery, then with the Home Guards as
cavalry, the latter would be very efficient.
The laskintelligence the Yankee force was
advancing in North Georgia towards Glarks.
vile and Eastward towards Greenyille.
