The twenty-five thousand militia of 1862 are not in-
cluded in this statement
call the attention of the Legislature to the report of
the Surveyor General, herewith presented, and com
mend the suggestions made by that officer to your
consideration.
This message is by full reports of all
the military departments. They exhibit the large
amount of service performed during the past wear
and contain full history of all the military operations
of the state Many valuable recommendations are
made in them to promote the efficiency of our voun-
UeerS and the comfort of the sick and wound which
! commend TO your earnest and immediate attention
1t affords me great satisfaction bear my testimony
TO the ability, dlgence and fidelity Of all the officers
IN these several departments.
Before closing this message desire to advert to the
delay which has sometimes occurred in the passage
OF the general appropriation bill 1t is necessary that
TINS Dill should become law otherwise the action
OF Government would be stopped. To delay its pre-
sentaton to the Executive done at the astreg-
ular sessl6n-til late hour of the night before the
morning hxed for the final adjournment is to deprive
the people OF their right TO haye all bills submitted 10
the revision OF Legislature before becoming laws in
case the Executive should approve them If there
had been time, should probably have returned the
appropriation bill of last year for such revision as
When had the opportunity of deliberately exan1in-
ing II found provisions which could not have ap-
ProFed-but that opportunity denied me before
the Dill had become law, and in fact the LeSisa-
ture was on the point of adjournment the onlv 6Ues
Aon presented TO me was whether that bill should he
come law without amendment or the necessities of
the government remain UnproEided for.
Inc gallantry of Our soldiers the field st1l sheds
lustre on the Commonwealth, and that their merit s
appreciated oy generous people is shown by tn CON
nnued and cheerful hberality with which the men
ana women OF the State contribute of their means for
their comfort and welfare May the blessing of God be
on those brave men who have stood by the country
through the dark hours of her trial

We feel highly honored by the re-
ceipt of an extra Philadelphia Press,
postage prepaid, containing an article
on the circulation of the Inquirer.
This is the first scrap of paper ever
received from that establishment, and
we really feel at loss to know what
1T means, as we have not the slightest
interest in the subject. The Inquirer,
like all other dailies, has it's faults, but
in the main is good newspaper, ably
conducted and we'll and deservedly
patronised throughout the State.

w a r M . w S,

The rebel papers of the 9th do not
contain much news beyond the fright
ened kilograms from Charleston. They
are discussing the Intervention scheme,
and are all the while exposing the fast
failing strength of their Confederacy
The intervention, or "protectorate"
theory, is still a favorite there. If
France, especially, does not immediate
ly intervene, this, according to the
Enquirer, is what will be the result:
Napoleon might be startled with
another phenomenon upon peace be-
tween the North and the South. 1t
might not be impossible that portion of
those now engaged an deadly conflict might
unite under the same banner IN a march
upon the invasion Of Merico We for
bear to extend this suggestion, but it
is borne out by the history of almost
all nations who have fought with each
other. The people continue hostile;
soldiers will fraternize in common en-
terprise.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The Rich
mond papers of January 6 contain We
ry confused and contradictory de-
spatches. They say that Gems Hood
and Forrest are dead-the latter killed
by one of his own men-and other de-
spatches deny that they are dead !;
Sherman's army is and is not march
ing upon Grahamsville; Fitzpatrick has
and has not crossed the Alabama river.
The only uncontradicted dispatches
are one from Augusta of the 5th, sta
ting that the chronicle of that morn
ing contained a significant communica-
ton entitled, "Is it Treasonable to Se-
cedeF" and one from Charleston of the
9th, stating 'no further movements of
the enemy are reported to-day. His
force is still concentrating between
Hardeeville and the Savannah river"
"Our First-CIass" People.
In this dreary winter time, when
there are thousands of people in this
city without q cheerful spark, and
thousands of women and children who
have ain ost forgotten the taste and
flavor of meat, upper-tendom is as gay
as though peace and plenty blessed the
land-as though violent death, sorrow
and cruel want were but empty sounds
and had no being in our midst. There
is one continued round of balls and
parties and great suppers. Almost
every night is made hideous by sere-
nades from braying brass bands. "Ne-
ro fiddled while Rome was burning"
There is much fddling in Richmond
while battle and famine encompass US

Raid by sheridan's Cavalry.
A letter from Loudon county, Va,
dated JAN 3, says: A cavalry force
from Gen. Sheridan's army visited the
neighborhood of Uppervllle, and Mid
dleburg, on Dec 27, and destroyed and
carried off a considerable amount of
property belonging to secessionists of
that nei ghborhood.
A few days ago another party of
Union cavalry entered the county from
Fairfax, and made several arrests of
disloyal residents.
CINCINNATI, Janury 9.-The Com
mercial's correspondent estimates that
Hood took across the Tennessee river
from twenty-five thousand to twenty
eight thousand men. Forrest aban-
doned about one hundred and fifty
wagons on the north side. On Friday
Lyon, with about eight hundred men,
passed through MeMinnville, capturing
a company of Tennessee Union caval-
ry. He then crossed the Chattanooga

Weep not for little Jimmie
For he has gone to rest;
He is now in the Heavenly palace
With Christ and all the blest.
It's but a few short days ago
That his presence was with US here,
was loved by all his friends below,
But now his memory only is near.
In the beauty of all his existence
he was laid beneath the sed:
He suffered with great patience
he rests in peace with God.
Then let US dry our mournful tears,
From gloomy grief refrain,
In Heaven our brother now appears
And shall forever reign.
Let US prepare to meet him,
Where parting is unknown,
And join in chorus with him,
And sing the heavenly song.

ReSoiced, That we respectfully request
his Excellency the Governor to call Con
vention of the people of Georgia, by any
constitutional means in his power, to give
them an opportunity of voting upon the
question whether they wish the war be-
tween the two sections of the country to
continue.
ResOtUed, That Major General Sherman
having placed as military commandant of
this post Brig. Gen. Geary, who has, by
his urbanity as a gentleman, and his uni
form kindness to our citizens, done all in
his power to protect them and their prop.
erty from insult and injury, it is the unan
imous desire of all present that be be
allowed to remain in his present position,
and that for the reasons above stated the
thanks OF the citizens are hereby rendered
to him and the officers under his command.
Resot0ed, That an official copy of these
resolutions be sent to the President of the
United States, the Governor of Georgia,
Gen. Sherman, and to each of the Mayors
OF Augusta, Columbus, Macon, and At
lanta.
We submit it to the impartial read
er whether it does not sound passing
strange to hear democratic papers say
the President will offer no terms of
peace, when rebels in public meeting
assembled, pass resolutions declaring
they accept the terms offered, and give
the very wording Of those terms!
