22.-the Georgia State defences.
Addresses to the planters.
Executive Department, Milledgeville, Nov. 1, 1862. To the Planters of Georgia:
since my last appeal to some of you, I am informed by Brig.-General Mercer, commanding at Savannah, that but few hands have been tendered.
When the impressments made by General Mercer, some weeks since, were loudly complained of, it was generally said that, while the planters objected to the principle of impressment, they would promptly furnish all the labor needed, if an appeal were made to them.

44.-message of Governor Brown.
Executive Department, Milledgeville, Nov. 13, 1862. To the General Assembly:
I communicate herewith a copy of a letter received on yesterday, from Col. Henry H. Floyd, commanding the militia of Camden County, informing me that on the fourth day of this month three companies of negroes were landed in St. Mary's, who, after insulting the few ladies remaining there, and taking every thing they could lay their hands upon, retired to their gunboats without the slightest molestation.
On the same day, all the salt-works in the county were destroyed, except two, which, by this time, have capacity to turn out twenty-five or thirty bushels per day. Unless protection is afforded, these must soon share the same fate.
The people on the coast possess large numbers of cattle, hogs, and other stock.
The enemy leave their gun-boats, kill and carry off stock without opposition.
The colonel asks for an order to call out the militia for three to six mont

November 22.
Wheeler advanced with his entire corps of cavalry and three (3) brigades of infantry, drove in my pickets and skirmish line, but was finally checked and driven back by the Ninth Pennsylvania cavalry (Colonel Jordon) and Fifth Kentucky cavalry, (Colonel Baldwin,) the sabre being principally used.
General Wolcott with his infantry now came up, and the enemy was driven by him beyond Griswold Station.
The same day Colonel Atkins (Second brigade) had some severe fighting on the Macon and Milledgeville road, and effectually prevented any attack upon our trains, that were this day moving from Clinton to Gordon.
