Gold WEEKLY COLUMBUS [GA] ENQUIRER, December 9, 1862, p. 1, c. 1 No Clothing to be Sent out of the State. The agent of the Southern Express Company, at Macon, gives notice through the Telegraph that that Company will not receive for shipment out of the State any shoes, cloth, clothing or leather, until further notice. It pursues this course by order of Governor Brown. This may be regarded as a measure preliminary to the seizure of the factories and tanneries by the Governor, according to authority vested in him by the Legislature. The act of the Legislature authorizes him to pursue this course in the event of the refusal of these establishments to furnish their fabrics for soldiers' clothing at prescribed prices, viz: Osnaburgs and Shirtings 25 cents per yard, Woolen Jeans $2.50 per yard, Cotton Yarns $2.50 per bunch, Leather $1 per pound, Shoes, best army pattern $8 per pair. We presume that the Railroad companies have also been, or will be, forbidden by the Governor to take these articles out of the State until he effects the desired arrangement with the manufacturers. . .
