AT?.*STA, A?gp?t 19.-The Legislature of
Alabama met torda? in E.^tra Session.
The Goveruor's Message was presented and
read.
The following is a synopsis : For obvious
reasons this commnnrcatioa is confined to the
?ubject of military defence. OB account-of
the new and Superior numbprs of the enemy
On every theatre.of the war, the President
vrisely callcd'cn the Stites for their relative
proportion of the reserved. The military rc
qiiisit'oa on Alabama i? 7 OOO men for six j I
n.onthals sci rice ; burbetere the draft came t
titi* Pr esid? m'a Proclam?t mn, caUing out ell i t
under 4*?-which eifl-t.; oh ne compose the , \
militia ?of fhs f&tate. The "Govrnor reviews j ,
the question, and classer, the exempts udder j (
State and Confederate Vrntetnients, and the
substitate? in the army- He hus no means
of ascatraiaing tho number of those c'a^s
'.ac State, but it is supposed there are sev
ersj thousand. Tho militia organization per
taining to the State Legislature,'it can deter
mine who it sh wi i exempt. All not exempt
by enactment are liable to military duty,
including those having substitutes in Confede
rate service.
Additional legislation is necessary-to fjivc
efficiency to the military code of tlc State.
The Governor recommends that the amended
Jajy embrace allbetween the ages-of To and
fiG, including persons who have purchased
substitutes,-persons of foreign birth domicil
ing within the State,and all who have evaded
the just requirements o? tue Confederate Gov
ernment.
He also recommends apian for the improve
ment of the mitiiia, and extending thc milita
ry power of thc Governor. If every man iii
the State were embodied in military organi
sions the ??late would present insuperable
barriers tb incursions by the enemy. Strag
glers and deserter? are .condemned, fcle re
commend! that the officers of tho State be
charged with tho duty of arresting them, and
that tba judicial officers rigidly enforce the,
penal laws against abettors. Ho pays a
tribute to thu memory of Senator Yancey,
and expresses regret that his eyes could not
behold the success and grandeur of the new
Confederacy.
Alabama has and will ?cheerfully respond
to every demand made upon her so long as
pur unnatural foe persevered in his unholy
(crusade. )Ve may be invaded. The peoplo
will not give way to alarm but- will nerve
themselves for undying resistance to adespo
. tism. which has decreed the emancipation of
our slaves, the coafisqation of our lands and
the subjugation pf, a free people. God in his
providence will not permit such a calamity.

armor and dedicated himself to his country's' deT
fonee, and many bard fought fields, in w\icb he.
exhibited all the qualities of a good soldier, at

On tbs march, in the camp, on tho-lit lc, he was
ever at ai-post, ebecrfully bearing ah the hard-.
.Uipjj and unshrinkingly discharging- all tho
duties incident.to a soldier's life. The Adjutant

DEPARTED this lifo on the 30th July, Mr. LUKE
DEVORE ?alilBLY, io tho 22d year, of bi* age.
The deceased, when a small boy, was left an
orphan, but was taken undtr the care of that de.
voted and upright maa, XPKK BF.VORBJ, tb raise
as ouc of bis family ; yet that kind mau was not
spured to seo bim grown, and ber.ee hie raising
devolved on bis affectionate'aunt, C*THAIU:CK DE
VOKB, and-wcll did she duckiirge her duly. By
precept and exampio sbo early instilled into his
youth;'*! mind Cue principles of piety and holi*
ness. We find him.at a tender age uniting hun
snlf to the Baptist Church at Giigal. This pru-,
lession he Ueid sacred to the last. His education
w.is sot neglected, as ho received the benefit,of
the instruction of qualified teachers. But when
the war broke ont books were laid asido, and be
volunteered in the Tin S. C. Regiment. As a
soldier be acted bia part faithfully. Hts i> nice rs
spoke highly in bis lavor, assuring his aged aunt
that she need feel no ujsnasinoss about his moral
deportment nor heroiein. Ho was lu the battles
through which tuat Regiment parsed, .and was
wouudod iu tho hattie at ?harpsl-urg, and came
hume, bar. >oon returned to bis Keginiout ?uJ re
in a i ced with it until strichen duwn by disease, ?lid
finit to ihe Hospital, where a kind sister vif ?ted
him and lound him quite prostrated. Thinking
'bat a return homo might restore his health eue
accompanied bim tbero. But lt was all Li rain.
He lingered until the 30tH July, when ho sweetly
full asleep in Jeans. He contiuned rational to the.
last, and so lucid und happy wore bis uot tao
mcuts that wo mutt allude lo thom. Just before
he died, after having boen quiet for some time,'be
incmioned the disposition he wanted carried out
about his pecuniary ' uti'.drs. Ho then took his
aged aunt by Ibo'band and said to her, "yon have
been butter to me than a mother; dont grieve
after me; I am go'ng to glory and wo wont be
long apart." Several of bis relations were pres
ent, uti of whom ba exhorted to lueet b.m in
heaven, and gavo each bis bund for th? last fare
well. He then turned to tho colored buy,' who
had attended him both hi camp service and at lb?
bedside, and milling him by Dame, gave him his
hand and ?aid " 1 do wish that y ou-could go with
