Athens Southern Watchman (Newspaper) - October 15, 1862, Athens, GeorgiaAthens ceo Fucia wednesday morning oct. 15. Largest Cir slam in of any paper nor fall ism ii Athens a amp see fourth Page. A a a a child a we have received Tho Frajt number of a now paper issued at i aeon by s. Boykin editor of fee Christian Index called Tho child s Index. It is Beautiful lib printed and filled with interesting matter. Tho present Pureber is intended As a specimen and Tho Piork win a Sonlin unit. If Soffie sent ene ours Tenent shall be offered. It Oug lit to succeed. Geoy Gla blotting. Or. I m. Kenny presented us lately with a bos of blacking made in Atlanta. It is it a Yod article we think. Oar Only objection a is that the boxes Are very Small in proportion to the Price. Increase of prices we tank to help Bizow can proprietors of newspapers furnish them at old prices when they have to pay from two to five times As much an formerly Fer everything they use so far As we Are concerned it cannot be done at All. We denounced extortion in All its phases that we Are and have been very reluctant to do any thing squinting in that direction. Ourvor Crof warning because an in our prices would not has done no Good. The question is not now t we shall practice extortion be extortion. Every body and everything else having gone no we Are compelled either to go up too or else go Down entirely. Oar Olar curation it is True is much larger than formerly but our advertising patronage and Job work the main sources Revenue in a newspaper concern have fallen off largely we arc not Able to cot Tine at present prices after the end of to present year. Therefore 011 and after the first of january next the Price of subscription to the Southern watchman will be three dollars per year. Until then we shall continue to re Celivo subscriptions at the old Price two dollars per annul. Death of i. S. Daw Esq. It is our painful duty to announce that Ralph 8. Law Esq., of Gainesville Dion a suddenly at Liis House in that town one. A Cen Che Aid tor the soldiers. We cop the moving Appeal of p. W. A. The arty correspondent of the Savannah Republican Quot in behalf of our Brave Soldi Era in the Field. We Hopo it will be read and by everybody though we must confess we do not see where the shoes and clothing no to come from. All the leather hides and shoes in the confederacy Are in Tho hands of heartless speculators. The same is True of All Tho jeans Wool and Cotton. If Liore Are any blankets to know nothing of them. If the government shall seize All Tho articles enumerated to be found in the hands of speculators As it ought to it would to some extent re love the necessities of our soldiers but the Relief would to but partial As there Are not in Tho confederacy one half Ono ngh of those articles to Supply our wants. There is one other source of Supply within Roach however. Let our armies capture supplies from the enemy. Let them make a descent upon Cincinnati and Philadelphia. If boy cannot establish their Winter quarters there let Tjiema at last seize All Tho clothing and other army supplies they can Lay their hands upon. In addition to clothing vast quantities of Bacon lard beef flour &e., will by needed. There is no bettor place than Cincinnati at which to secure an abundance of these much needed supplies. It is very evident that we have nothing like a sufficiency at borne. We must either take from the enemy or manage to do without these articles. So �?5 we which thu midst of life we Are in the deceased was Ordinary of Hill county at the time of his death and had been Long distinguished for his Many Sterling qualities. A Largo Circle of relatives and attached friends will mourn his loss. A hit or Athens soldiers who have recently returned Rome hounded and on furlough Lieut. Reuben Mcalpin sick furlough.

He is considered to be doing vary Well considering Bis wound was never dress of from the Ting shot in Maryland on the 17th sept., until Hia brother wont and brought him Homo on the 9th october. Exemption Bill. We publish this week the late exemption act. It will to seen that on Congress Littig As we expected at their hands have done one Good things that is to make the provisions of the act apply Only to such manufacturers Shoemakers tanners &c., As do not charge Over 75 per cent profit on the Cost of production. This will wet Ink Check extortion to some extent. Talking sense. We most heartily endorse the following he we copy from the army correspondence of the Macon Telegraph it is stated that no less than ton Georgia cols wore acting brigadier Gens at the Battle of Sharpsburg thus it will be seen that Georgia troops and Georgia officers have 110 inconsiderable proportion of risks and Burthen of this War to encounter. But what becomes of the generals whose places it is thus necessary to fill in the thick of the fight that is a question i apprehend which president Davis and the War department would do Well to consider. While the poor worn Down privates Are being goaded on to the army almost at Point of the Bayonet is Liore not some Way to reach and compel laggard officers to the discharge of their duty ? it a a stragglers Are to to dealt with summarily let there be no distinction made Between offi oers and men it is As much incumbent upon Tho one class to beat their Post As the other Mol Ollun a estimate. The following is Mcclellan a estimate of Federal loss in the Battles of Boonesboro and Sharpsburg which he Calls a South Mouth Taicz and a Antietam at Septh Mountain our loss was killed. 433 wounded.1,806 .missing.76 martial Law. Two publish this week the Clear and conclusive letter of or. Step risks on this subject from which it will be seen that he very correctly taites the ground that Law so called is no Law at All but the substitution of the a. Military commander in Placo of nil Law and argues that in a free government thit thing should not to resorted to except in cases of extreme a necessity. Since the commencement of our revolution every sort of pre Toutt bus been seized upon by a a Little jumped up a military officers to declare martial Law and ignore the. Authority of the civil Power. Tya thing has grown into a stupendous evil and has gone so far that we have heard of one instance in which a Captain of volunteers do flared martial Law in a town in North Carolina for the purpose of closing a Dogger the people cannot too jealously guard their rights. Revolutions have enslaved people a often As they Ever Sot them free. It would be a sad termination of the present str Ngalo to lose the popular liberties at Home in our attempt to guard them against threatened encroachments from the Black republicans of the North martial Law is nothing Short of military despotism and As such should Only be resorted to in extreme cases. It has already been greatly abused but to Liopo there will be no further reason for complaint on this subject. Packages for the at1iexs guards. Messes. Ii. Akin John Dickson Seaborn Swan and John Pink and will leave for the army on the 23d of this month and will carry any articles of clothing shoos or blankets that friends May wish to Send Mambo roof the Athens guards. All persons desiring to Send packages can leave them at the store of or. F. W. Lucas Between this time and the 23d. Every package should have the name of the person for whom it is designed marked on it plainly. Where can these disgraceful specimens of human nature find an excuse or a cab tar Fiig a where if we Are Ever destroyed if our government Ever is wrecked and a or name become a by word and reproach to what cause shall it be right co july attributed ? a Quot to to the ignorance of our civil and military officers least of All to it or Brave self denying Patriot soldiers but Toth Esu accursed Chatis in Tho campy these vile grasper after to wedges of Gold and the garments who scorn really to Lute sold themselves to the Devil to work out his evil ways. Thero is not a character in the Yankee army i care not where lie came from whether out of the five Points of new York or the Dens of Philadelphia Tho. Penitentiary or the state prisons a he. Is no worse than that Man who seeks to Hoard Money by extortion and oppression in this Day of our country s troubles were he my brother my sentiments would not Chango. Another thing 1 wish to notice your Banks refuse All the Issue of the government Treasury notes engraved by Ludwig amp Hoy or and your business men Are following suit.

This document like somebody a gun to Lowe some where read of which Quot when Woll aimed at Dock or Odever id a Uro to Jook its owner Over a Lias raised a terrible commotion in Kentucky. Even old Prentice of Tho Louisville journal condemns it. Tho conservative men of Tho Northorn states also denounce it. From present indications it will in the end be a great Benefit to the South not Only in convincing Tho Border states that Tho object of the War is to free their negroes instead of preserving the Union but it will also show the people of the North that having ignored the plainest provisions of the Constitution they have nothing but a military despotism to Hope for at the hands of the Republican party. Under this apprehension the Northern people Are becoming restive and May up set All of old abets pianos one of Obeso Fine Days Battles at and near Corinth. A we have been so uniformly successful for months past that to must confess our reverse the Tobor Day near Corinth a a took us All it was the result doubtless of no mismanagement or Lack of courage 011 our part but grew out of the fact that the Federr is largely outnumbered us and were under command of Rosen Crantz one of their Best generals. Conscription. To presume the president will shortly Call for All persons Between the Ages of 35 and 45, according to the provisions of the late conscript act. It will be the duty of All Good citizens to Rospond cheerfully. It is now the Law of Tho Laud and however much we opposed its passage we believe it to to our duty to yield cheerful obedience so Long As it is the Law. This is Oor doctrine concerning All Laws they should be respected while on the statute Book and if Lound obnoxious a repeal is Tho proper icily instead of unlawful resistance.

You will please give the above a place in your paper for Tho satisfaction of those who May have friends and relatives in my company. A. J. Pool. F for the Southern watchman. Friend Christy a it has been rumoured in our beat that in your City of Ambous there live a few characters known in the Bible As extortion ers oppressors of the poor bloodsuckers of the life of the poor wives and children of the soldiers far away fighting the Battles of these very cattle.

It is a wonder to me that. Heaven does pot visit its Wrath and indignation upon these characters. Would you fight for such miscreants under such Cirous tunes ? leave your helpless wife and children at Home to starve and Dion not by Yankee bullets and bayonets but by Tho traitors to the South who live at Homo in ease and Comfort and who Are this sucking Tho life blood of those nearest and Dearest to you on Earth talk of Yankee subjugation 1 talk of the beast of now Orleans Arhat better Are these harpies when weighed in Tho just balances of the great i am whose character will Bear the closest scrutiny who will be found wanting Butler May have some show of reason As a subaltern Tudor a despot but great god Bible convention.
