It is generally understood that there is a secret organization in the State of Georgia, known as “The Choctaws,” pledged to precipitate the State into a revolution, even should the sovereign people in convention, decided against immediate secession. The organization is said to number, at this time, more than ten thousand men, who are well supplied with all the improved impliments  and munitions of war.—Atlanta Confederacy.
