Yesterday morning, it II o’cleok, th# Hon Miwn. John W. Broekonborough md Walter R. St*plot* two of teeCommiaatoaen from Vir- (inin to tho Provblonal Congress it Xontgou- •ry, passed through hero. On tho arrival of tho con, iboy worn greeted by *n onihntiooiio crowd, who, oftor giving throo ehoort for Old Virginia, called for tho Gottnnfsiloiiers. In re sponse, Mr. Brockenboroagh came forward.— He is a fine looking specimen of tho Virginia gentloman. Ho said the people of his State had been greatly distracted among themselfee on tho exciting subject of secession; bn t to-day, thank God! she was a on it—moved by one pul •ation ; and every throb of her groat heart was for the rights of tho South; that every man and every dollar within her borders would be freely given, as in tho days of the Revolution, to sustain our holy and just cause* and resist the tyranny of the Abolition vandals who now seek to desecrate our sacred soil and take away our liberties. He said that Virginia did not shrink from the conflict; that she had men enough whose hearts were filled with patriotic ardor to drive back our invaders; she only needed guns, powder and shot. He said that her oause was our cause—her rights our rights —we were one people—identical in views, pur suits, interests, education, religion, and the biatoryof tbePast; and tbatone destiny await ed us. Let us, said he, meet this conflict as be comes the descendants of the Lees, the Carrolls, the Henrys, Ac.; that even if the border cities of his State should be laid waste and her fields blighted by the foul tread of a vandal foe, the spirit of her people was unoonquerable. He retired amidst loud applause from the large and appreciative audience. Mr. Staples then came forward. He is a fresh, bright, game looking man. For about thirty minutes he electrified the crowd with the fire of his burning eloquence. No synopsis that we could possibly give, would do any sort of jus tice, and we forbear making any attempt. When lie retired, Hr. Gibbea, the celebrated Surgeon of Charleston, came out and gave an account of hia recent miasion to Virginia, from South Carolina. He gave a glowing account of the enthusiasm and spirit of the people all through the interior of North Carolina and Virginia; he also briefly referred to the battle of Sumter—tbe character of the victory—that it was entirely bloodless except an accident, which killed and wounded juat sevtn of Andar- aon’s man—one for each of the then seceded States. He closed, ss the train started off, amidst tha shouta of the enthusiastic multi tude. The Louisville “Journal” Slanders Gov. Cobb. The “ Journal ” of tho 27th ultimo contained an article, representing that the Hon. Howell Cobb, during his recent viait to Naw Orleans, made speeches along the route, in whioh he told the people not to fear the consequences of a war with the North, on account of our hav ing seceded; that the Border States would have to bear the brunt of the battle—Kentucky be ing one of them; that we, in the further South, might go along with our planting and other in terests as usual; that we would not bo disturb ed ; tho Bordsr States would drive back our assailants, Ac. This Is the idea. Wa have not the paper before us from whioh to quote the exact language. Immediately on seeing it, we were satisfied that there was not a word of truth in it. Wa know Mr. Cobb to be a man of better sense and better principles than the “ Journal’s ” ar ticle would have people believe, and utterly incapable of saying anything so wicked. We at once aent him the paper, calling his atten tion thereto, and have received |the following reply: Montgomery, May 4,1811. Mkssrs. Editors : I have this mornsnt re ceived the copy of the Louisville “ Journal,” of the 27th of April, you inclosed to me. I have OMtlfrN from Root l*tkens—That Mn- cot. •#>- Jo our Sen day mom log’s top** wep«tttob*i a maple of Musts of tho Poaeacota cornspon- dopt of tho Mobile Raw* giving 41 account of a fellow wk# wont over to Bants Rosa Island* by ooflapalllnf a negro to row him across tfce Bay, and who was suppoeed to bo a spy from tbs Linooln Govsrnmsnt. Soma intolliganee has been reeeived from him, as wall ae af soate other matters at Fort Pickens, which was brought to Pensacola by two domrtsrs from that Fort Those men say they enlisted in the United States Army five months ego, as tfcey wore than told, to fight againat the Indiana in Texas and New Mexico—never dreaming that they would be asked to draw their weapons against their own countrymen. When erdered to embsrk with their regiment for Fort Pick ens, they protested and solieited a discharge, bat without avail. Before their arrival they, wilh a number of others, meditated desertion. Several attempts were made, but were unsuccessful. On Monday morning, tha 29th April, after muster of the loops, tbey strolled along the beach several miles East of Pickens, when they discovered on the shoro a small skiff, the prop erty of some fishermen who had been in the habit of camping on tho Island previous to the order of General Bragg against drawing their nets in that neighborhood. It was a crasy old affair and leaked badly from exposure. But they had gone too far to look back, and resolv ed to brave the dangers of reaching the main land, some four miles distant. In quick haste the little boat was launched; the wind and tide favored their course, and with light hearts they steered for “Deer Point.” Half way across the souud their boat filled with water. Divest ing themselves of all clothing, tbey swam for tha shore, whioh was reachodtin safety. Soon afterwards the little Confederate coaat-guard sloop, on her daily cruise, discovered them on the beach, perfectly naked, and made for them. Tbey were taken aboard, supplied with such clothing as tha generous crew could command, and in the afternoon transferred to the steam er Cushman, which took thorn to the Navy Tard, where they now remain. They say many wish to derert, and only await an opportunity; that the officers are suspicious and watch each movement of aoldiers and sail ors. They work day and bight on the Fort, and in constructing batteries on different points of tha Island. There are nine hundred and sixty-five men on duty ashore. Col. Brown is using every exertion to make his position im pregnable. They have horses and two field bat teries ; wagons to carry provisions and muni tions to and fro, and all tbe necessary camp equipage. They have some thirty negroes on tha fsland at work; they were taken from their owners at Kay West by force. These deserters say that the “ Spy” who went over to Pickens on the 25th April, has “turned up.” He was arrested and sent aboard the sloop, of-war Sabine. He told them he was connected with a New York paper, acting in the capacity of a Southern correspondent, and desired to be sent to that city. No confidence waa placed in hia story, and he waa immediately ironed, and ao remains. He was in the Fort under ar rest, when Gen. Bragg sent over the flag of (rues to look alter him aa a thief, on tbe Satur day after. Lieutenant Slemer knew this, when tha men sent, made inquiry for him—buteva- dad an answer to the question whether any one had been arrested on the Island since Thursday preceding. These things we condense from the Penssco- la correspondence of the Mibile Advertiser. no time to answer in detail the editorial arti cle in reference to myself. It is sufficient to aay, that it is, throughout, a gross ntisrepra- sentation. The paragraph in refarenoe to Gov. Magoffin and Mr. Breckinridge is wholly with out foundation, aa indeed is the whole spirit and tenor of the article. Respectfully, HOWELL COBB. We ask tho “ Joui nal ” to do Mr. Cobb and its readers the justice to make the proper cor rection.

Ye are indebted to W. P. Inman, Esq., Agent of the North-Western Bank, in thia city, for permission to make the following extract— italics and small caps included—from a busi ness letter received by him yesterday : Broadway Bank, \ Unionism Dead In Tennessee. Thursday, tbe 2d Instant, was the day ap pointed by the Union party of Tennessee to meet in Convention at Nashville, and nomi nate a Union candidate for Governor. The Convention met, but its members had become Southern Rights men before assembling. The proceedings are new before us. They say, in their resolutions, that, “since their appoint ment, the aspect of affsirs, both civil and mil itary, have undergone a most alarming change.” They did not go Into a formal nomination of a candidate, but passed a resolution recommend ing ex-Governor Wm.B. Campbell for the of fice of Governor—not, however, in such a way as to bind their delegates to his support. They say, that. In their opinion, he is a “military chieftain and civilian, of large axperianoe in both departments; a man of known courage, * honesty and integrity,”and that, in bis hands, thay may expect to be protested during the impending war. The Nashville “Banner,” which was a strong Union paper till Lincoln issued his proclamation, thus oloees an edito rial on the action of the Convention : * The day of election is tbrso months distant. howevor, and, in that time, Ibo people will Importance have sometbiog of more pressing to epnsidm and apt open than thsoNhsaijjr routine of a canvass for office, voted for, we prsooms, the usual appliances to influence elections trill bo dtspooood with, at least until tbe prison! crisis Is paased.

We suppoee there will be Union and Secession can didates ; that if tha latter are elected they will not take their seats. In thia way tha sense of the people will be effectually tested. Weakness nt Washington. A few days ago, we published an account of tbe interview between Linooln and a commit tee of the Young Men’s Christian Association, of Baltimore, in which Old Abe made use of many expressions showing conclusively that he is stupid and a coward. The Northern pa pers are publishing this reported conversation, and plainly intimate Lincoln's incornpotency and unfitnaaa for the place be holds ; and some of tbe blackest say that be mast be superceded —amongthem the “Tribune” and “Times.” We beg to remind these journals that be is their constitutionally elected Chief Magistrate, sod they cannot depose him. Tbey have urged us to accspt him because he was elected, and have abused us soundly because we have re fused. We hope they will not make wry faces at taking the same physio tbey have tried to force down tbe throats of others. I arrived safely at thia point, and, though I find the duties of a soldier a littla tougher than I expected, end the fare tougher still, I am get ting along pretty well. Bo far, I have good health, and am in vary good spirits—none of the latter article, however, is m me. Our officers seem to be all gentlemen, in tbe full sense of the term ; especially can I speak of those with whom I have become acquainted. Lieuta. Cleaveland, Anderson and Crawford, the former of the Augusta “ Constitutionalist,” are all kind and gentlemanly in their bearing; consequently, they are brave, for an officer who will, because be has the power, trample under foot tbe rights and feelings of the helpless sol dior—in other words, 44 kick a man when his hands are tied”—hat no bravery nor humanity about him, and would, I dare aay, be the first to flee on the approsch of danger; and yet, I would not be understood as condemning an of ficer for having his orders performed promptly or for punishing the guilty; on tbe other hand, the men, as a general thing, should be kept under strict discipline, and made to know their duty aud to discharge it. 7 here are some privates and non-commissioned officers, with whom i have become acquainted, who are, in feeling, principle and education, very little, if at all, inferior to tbe commissioned officers. I never knew, until I came here, the value of blue coats and brass buttons, and I would ad vise any of my friends, if they should travel any in this part of tbe country, to have a good stick on hand, for I assure them it makes a “poto- ful sight ” of difference in every respect. Tin tups, too, bless my soul! bow valuable they are. I even envy tbe days when, in swadling clothes, I used to tumble about tbe floor and flourish my little tin cup, for then I was at least an owner of that; but now it is as much as I can do to get one to eat out of. No mstter, though, I came here to /earn, and I will be as “ rough and ready ” as aoy of them. As for a fight, I do not believe we shall have any showing at all in this ro.v. Has “old Abe” raved, or is he “ pitching in yet?” Do send me a paper, and let me know what is going on in the Big Camp, outside of Fcrt Pulaski. I know no more of wbat is going on outside of the Fort than does the veriest Arab of the Desert know of the doings of the soldiers within the area of our Fort. Besides this, I have never seen my trunk since I left Savannah ; it is there some where, with all tbe writing paper I had in it I guess I will receive it in a day or two. Tuesday, May 1. I have, since writing the above, learned that Capt McGill is to be our Captain ; that is, the Captain of Company A, 2d Regiment He is a very nice, gentlemanly looking man, and I have no doubt but that he will prove kind- hearted and generous to those under his charge. To-day is the first day of May, and a bright day it is too. The sun’s rays seem to vie with each other in shedding their light; a gentle breese it blowing, and everything betokens a pleasant day. Below us is Tybee Island; several volunteer companies are stationed there, and would doubtless give Lincoln’s hirelings a neat little reception, were they to attempt an invasion of our soil, or weters. Every boat is made to sa lute our flag as they come in, and none dare come without tbe Southern flag flying. “I am glad I am in this army;” that is, if we are going to have a fight; otherwise, I don’t think I would like to be cooped up inside Fort Pulaski for three years. I had, in my trunk, one or two books of Po etry and a Bible, but, having lost that, I am without anything to read at all. On the Railroads, coming to Macon and Sa vannah, I found the Conductors very kind and obliging. The Macon A Western Railroad Conductors ara too well known in Atlanta to Meed any praise from me. On the Central Railroad, thoaa traveling, should they happen with Mr. Courtenay, will be pleased with his manners, and receive kind attention at his hands. Vive la Courtenay ! But I must close. I have written this in great haste, amid many interruptions, and without proper conveniences. Should anything happen worthy of note, or that I can make interesting to your readers, I shall be pleased to tend the itema to you. Farawall, now, and beliave me, as ever, Yours sincerely, H. R. W. Wo frond on ike eaasp ground, from soother Brigade, an old acquaintance In the person of Captain Dawson, of Grdtne county, preparing for the wars. If tbe Fourth Brigade of Georgia Volunteers is allowed the opportunity, it will give o good account of itoelf, and, If permitted, will be fn the hottest of tbe fight A nicer set of gentlemen cannot be found in any Brigade, than the officers assembled at "Camp Brown.” Many of them are consistent members of the churob, sad, so far as wo know, temperate, clear headed men, just such men as ought to ba entrusted with the honor and lives of our volunteer soldiery. I found many old acquaintances in camp, aud all wide awake in preparing to defend tbe oause of Georgia and tbe South. General Phillips is entitled to many thanks for his kindness and polito attentions. If the country accepts his services, already tendered, to serve in any way desired, be will prove himself, every inch, a man. Whoever mcetc the military of tbe South, if tbey are like thoae I have met, will observe that there is no bombast in their present move ments. They are in dead earnest, and will nev er leave the battle field alive without victory.— They are in the cause which we believe God will bless, defend and cause to triumph. Heav en bless its defenders and grant ua a speedy and eternal deliverance from the treachery, tyranny and troubles of Northern fanaticism. It is worthy of special notice that at “Camp Brown,” every officer is rendered familiar, as the nature of tbe case will admit, with the du ties of office from Brigadier-General, down to the lowest office.

Camp Brown—Fourth Brigade lu Camp. Editors Southern Confederacy: Sire—A visit to “Camp Brown” has afforded me great pleasure, and satisfied me entirely of the wisdom of the Governor in calling tbe offi cers of the Fourth Brigade into encampment. Cordiality and good feeling seemed to pre vail, and an evident desire to improve in dril ling was manifest to all. Brigadier-General Phillips is quite popular with his Brigade, and ardently devoted to its improvement. The Gen eral, and I may say the entire Brigade, are anxious, very anxious, to be called into service at onee, and, if need be, apill their blood in the earliest of the fight of the Confederate States for their deliverance from tbe foul and tyran nical rula of the Lincoln Government Major Capers, elegant in hia manners and thoroughly fitted for his duties, aided by his Cadets, as they are detailed by him to drill the various “squads,” prove the absolute need, fn such times aa these, of military educated men, without naming others, and there are many noble spirits at “ Camp Brows.” I may safely aay the spirit of improvement is general; and 1 am sure that no money hat ever been spent more wisely by the 8tste, thsn that devoted to this encampment. Tha enoampment desires to remain longer to prepare better for the coming cor diet, end we hope the Governor will gratify so laudable a dee ire by eowtlnoing the encamp meet another week at least. Bot the improvement already made, and the spirit to continue improving, aroused by thia gathering, will make the Fourth Brigade, If evefr celled on for active service, a body of men worthy the admiration of any pwpU. For tbe Southern Confederacy. The Tallest. If any section of the country can match a liberty pole now standing at Williams A Mc Lean’s Mills, on Peach-Tree Creek, five miles from Atlanta, we would like to hear who does it and where. The first one hundred feet of the matchless flag-staff is a Lombardy poplar—now thirty- five years old—girting about nine feet at tbe ground, and is altogether the most splendid specimen of this tree we ever beheld. Its his tory, too, is very singular. A Mrs. 8. brought that very tree out in her band all the way from South Carolina in tbe shape of a riding switch, now more than thirty-five years ago—and hop ing that something would come of it, stuck it the grouad, where it now rears its proud and beautiful form. A pole surmounts the top of the tree, adding thirty feet more to the staff. The flag now flapping defiance in the faces of our enemies, is a magnificent standard—tbe material furnished by one of tbe patriotic pro prietors of the Mills, Mr. J. C. McLean, and made up by the spirited ladies of the neigh borhood. The very day, aud nearly the hour that old Virginia seceded, this flag was completed; and when our friend McLean was asked by wbat right he gave Virginia a place on the blue field of our banner, be said : “Put her down there; I’ll auswer with my life that she will claim that spot and right soon.” Hs did not know that even then she had redeemed his generons and confiding voucher. That gallant and true hearted of men, Mr. E. L. Moreton, brought his rare skill and tact to bear in accomplishing the difficult task of arecting this “staff,” and now it rears its tall form more than 130 feet; and aa it sways to sod fro in the wind, he has challenged any man who will give two hundred dollars to Capt. Fowler’s Company, to come and see him stick a pin in the ball surmounting the pole. There are twenty-five men employed about the Factory of Messrs. Williams A McLean.— Out of that number eleven—all poor men, but comfortable, and with tbe bept place, in the country for daily wages—have joined Capt. Fowler’s Company, and arc prepared to march at a day’s notice, while every man, including two negro men, (Bill A Boston) hava nobly coma forward and givan freely of their small meant in aid of thair country in this bar hour of need. Mr. McLean has said to bis boys, “Go, and don’t distress yourself about wife and children, for while I have a dollar left they shall naver need what it can buy for them.” Our friend Ed. Moreton, in his quiet, pithy way, said, in response to some prudent friends, “ talk about * valuable situations,’ * poor man’s wifa and children,’ Ac., Ao. If we whip our enemies my placa will be worth lota more than it is, and if wa don’t, we have no business with but ona sort of a place, and that aix feet by two l” This is a specimen of our people all over this country—in the “city full or desert wild,”— and yet Black Republican slanderers and liars would have the world think that the a masses" are dragooned into revolt and revolution by the “aristocrats and slaveholding tyrants.” Let them come here for information of the true state of the country, and we will give them the right aort of welcome from Senator to slave. TEACH TREE. 44 There Is a vast amount of capital is New York—the accumulations ef the profits of many years—meet of it the fruit of Southern trade. A large pi ©portion of this eapital- fully seveniv five per cent —is invested in State and United 6ta;es stocks, wholly una vailable at this lime, except at a ruinous die- count. Hence It follows, as a logical conse quence, that New York, while enormously nob apparently is unable to fureiah the im mense sums Lincoln’s Administration will re quire to proeeoute its wickedly mighty war upon the South. 44 In addition to the ruinous depreciation of its invested capital. New York credit isboupd to go by tbe board, aud siok to a depth of bankruptcy unparalleled in the history of cities, whether of anoient or modern times.— Importing from all quarters of the globe has made New York wbat she is. This fact no sensible sod truthful man will attempt to con trovert. Well, the war sbu is now assisting Linooln to prosecute, will deprive her, tak ing the lowest possible estimates, of fully three fourths of her import trade. The bal ance of her commerce will seek other chan nels, just in the same proportion. Hereafter, tbe natural equilibrium will prevail, and the imports will come to tbe cities whence tbe ex port!, whioh pay for them, go from. This will build up all Southern seR porta, and cause them to multiply in wealth and strength, far beyond the anticipations of our most sanguine financiers.” The Seat of War. Tbe seat of war covert an area of eome 500 by 400 miles, embracing the immediate field of warlike preparations of whioh Washington is the center.

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial. Washington, May 1.—The President re ceived a dispaick ibis afternoon, announcing tbe arrival of Captain Meigs, from Fort Pick ens, in New York. He brings the first official news of tbe reinforcement of Fort Pickens.— All the troops that sailed from New York in the Atlantic aud other transports, including two batteries of flying artillery, were success fully landed. Over a thousand troops arc now in the Fort, and about the same number outside busily en gaged throwing up fortifications on Santa Ro sa island. Fort Piokeos may now be set down safe ■ gainst any force tbe Colton rebels can possi bly raise against it. No news from Fort Monroe has been re« ceived for some days at the War Department, but Gen. Scott considers that point perfectly safe. Fort Mclleury has now a garrison of twelve hundred men. Eight hundred volun teers were thrown into it under cover of the night some days since. Tbe knowledge of this fact bas a good deal to do with tbe oav ing in of Baltimoreans. (Jen. Scott aaye he has more troops hare now than he wants, tbe numerical strength of tbe army of occupation having now reached nearly twenty thousand. Gen. Patterson’s corps d'armee will move in two columns—one down tho Northern Central, the other down the Baltimore and Wilmington Railroad, upon Baltimore. Each will be ten thousand strong. Another ten thousand will be collected at Anuapolis, for demonstrations against Baltimore. The statement that ihe Government has is sued an order calling out forty thousand vol unteers for three years, twenty-five thousand regulars for five years, and eighteen thousand seamen for five is erroneous. No such call has as yet been made. A requisition for additional forces will be issued in a day or two, but it will be for forty thousand more volunteers, for thrse months, and twenty five thousand volunteer* for land, and eighteen thousand for sea service, during tbe duration of the war. I am able to stale, on tbe highest authority, that a corps d'armee will move at tbe earliest possible moment, from Pennsylvania through Maryland towards Washington under com mand of General Patterson. The Baltimore *• Suu,” of this morning, contains a leader recognizing the right of the Federal Govern ment to march troops through Maryland.— There ie no doubt that Gen. Patterson will be allowed to pass unmolested. 1801. salmons a simmos W»iHouW»4**UHI FOR II6K & DOMESTIC Dffi Corner of Whitehall and Altl, Atlanta, Georgia.- NEW SPRING ST0 O NE of our firm having returned fi ket, where ba haaiuslcompleud •ive pnrebate of our Spring Stock of DRY GOODl we take this method of adrisidc the the same.
