Wo presume U will require no JIWTif from many pis css, mailing many inquiriei in The Cotton Planters’ Convention This body convened at Msoon on the 11th instant. The Moend Vice fPreeideut, Col. V.

Jones. 2d Vioe President...... A. 8. Atkinson. Treasurer, T. G. Holt. Secretary, 8. H. J. Bistrunk. A committee was appointed to take into consideration the present condition of the Cotton culture end trade of America, the dan gers which surround it, aud the best mode ne cessary for its protection and preservation. This committee made an able and elaborate report, which we would like to publish, but which we are unable to do on account of its length. We give the following extracts We recommend to the planters to take at least one half of their crop in the Confederate Binds, (which will give tb« Government 76 million* per anoum.) ae the very best invest msol they can posetblj make at the present time. There is nothing earthly to prevent planters from doing this, and it is the opinion of you* 1 committee that It will be done. Buok bill is nothing more than a note without interest, at d yet thousands of planters have been in the habit for years of taking these for their whole crops and keeping them for years in their safes without a cent of interest.— These Government Bonds are in every way as seoure and far more secure than bank bills, and hy laying them in jour safes you will re cieve instead of nothing, 8 per cent, for your money. If the Southern Government is sue constul these bonds will be as good or belt than gold. If it it not sustained, no proper ty you have will be worth one oent. You will be deprived of your liberty, and like vanish ed exiles, tent with your little ones to seek for bread ia foreign laud* by beggary * * * * * The plan of Lincoln for subjugating the South is to blockade all the Southern ports, and force commerce oat through tbo Northern cities, ovor Northern railroade, and through Northern capital. Thie Is the groat stroke of poliey that canted the whole North so sudden ly to turn about and sustain the dootrines of coercion. Thors is notblug now which could give tbo ODomy so muoh “aid and comfort” as the suooess of this poliey ; and, consequent ly, (here can be no higher aet of treason against the Confederate Government than the sending of a halo of ootion through the North er.markott to foreign countries. Your oomrait- miueo consider that it would ho hotter for aud for mankind, in the end, that ovary halt should ba burned, rather than it should taka that coarse. The Committee reported a resolution which was adopted, calling a general convention of the Cotton planters of the State, to most in Macon on ibo 6th July next. Every oounty is requested to send up delegates. On motion of Col. J. 11. E. Washington : Reetlved, That in viaw of the national trou bits and the pressing wants of the Confeder al o 8tatee, for money to oonduct the war in which we arw engaged, for oar independence, the Treasurer of the Gotten Planters’ Conven tion bo authorised sod instructed to loan all the money in the Treasury—except the sum of one hundred dollars for incidental expen ses—to the Confederate States; receiving therefor the Bonds of the Government, bear log eight per cent- interest. A resolution was adopted requesting Col. llowsll Cobb of Ho'ietoo, to defor bis mission to Europe as commissioner from the couvea- tion and that tbo eum of $1000, which had boon appropriated to defra/ his expenses, b« subscribed to the Confederate loan. The committee on tbo President's onnoal eommunicition, mads a report from whloh we moke lbs following txlracts : Ws think dnfsiwef ooudii ion of the conn- try is wnfavorablo to tho appointment of a Committee ao twosmattended hy the President, to superintend the shipment of •* prodooo to (ho Belgian American Company aoxt fall.”— It is ascertained that tho Confederate Govern moot already oootcmplatea an arrangement, by which tho whole or nearly *11 of tho grow ing crop Of oolton. will pan Into the control of thoGoVtfbment, and in the event, tbo Gov ernment will giro such directieo to our oom- ueroial artoogooMata os Mf bo fooad most eiptdiMtl. If K should foil it i* not peobnbis that a Committee Would ba abla to octroi shipments of produeo until pCaoo shall •Cored language, do special pleading, to impress on the plasters of tho South tbs importance of their promptly responding to this call. lo the midst of a season of remarkable pe ctmiary prosperity, we find ourselves sudden ly involved in a great revolution—in which a fierce sod bloody war is inaugurmed. The invaders, counted not by thousands, but by hundreds of thousands, are swarming our soil. They have blockaded our porta, cut off oar trade, and destroyed our revenue. Our noble and ebivalrio youth have rushed Into the field to meet them. From the city and Country, the bills and valleys, the mountains and the lowlands, they have poured forth in multitndee, forming a great army, now pant ing for the conflict, and ready to drive back the Abolition host, or perish on the field. The final result no one doubts. We shall have liberty and independence. But to support this army and sustain the Government of our choice is now our highest duty, and the subjectof our greatest conoern. How shell these objects be accomplished ? This is a question which has engaged the pro- foundest attention of our statesmen and finan ciers. These investigations have resulted in an admission of the loot, not generally before understood, that the sinews of war, as well as the elements of prosperity In peace, are in the hands of the cotton planters of tbs South. The Government appeals to them—to them the eyes ond the hopes of the country are now turned. They must fnrnish the means to sustain the army and carry the war to a successful dose. It is then clearly their right and duty lo take counsel together—to consider the whole question in all its practical operations, and determine for themselves how they will raise the means, and to what extent. We therefore cordially invite the cotton planters of the South—indeed, we urge our friends in every oounty in our own State, as well as the people of all the Confederate States, to send up delegates to the proposed Convention to be held in Macon on the 4th day of July next. Let them send able and good men, and such A Tjpo Foundry.

LAGiAwex/Ga., Jane 15th, 1801 Mturs. Editor $; l am now receiving letter* relation to tbt Confederate loan, Ac, Many of those questions, in the very nature of things, cannot be answered. Many, again, must de pend for answer upon ths future course of the people, rather then of the Government. AH these questions I would most cheerfully an swerif I could; but it being impossible to do so, I am compelled to omit them. I will make a few statements, accompanied with the best suggestions at my command; and as it will •are vast labor in answering so many, I beg to do so in one letter through the press, and hope all the papers in the Fourth District will copy. 1. When, aud where and to whom must pro visions and military stores, die., be delivered, »Dd when and from whom will the bonds be received? To this, I answer : The time and place of de livery may be specified by tho subscriber, each one will see by the form of the subscrip tion. Of course, the place should be at some point on the Railroad, and the stores in good ondition for transportation. I would suggest that each subscriber make bis subscription and select a convenient depot for delivery, and hold military stores and provisions in readiness, or place them in some Railroad depot ready for delivery. As soon as we can complete the scriptions we will forward them to the proper officers. The subscriptions, when all brought together, will show the places, and the Gov ernment will then know when to appoint agents, and the size and number of bonds needed at the various places. Therefore, make yoursubscriptions, and everything else will be arranged accordingly 2. What will be the size of the bonds, the time due, what interest will they bear, and when payable; ond can they be used in paying debts, Ac.? To this, I answer: The bonds will beofvari oun sixes to suit-none less, I believe, than numbers as th^y may think proper. In the . hundred dollars, aud uone containing a frac ppointment of delegates no special formali ties need be observed. Wbat we want is t meeting of the oolton pisuters, to consider their own power, and properly lo apply it. Arrangements are in progress, in addiion to the regular debates of the Conveotiton. to procure addresses from the most eminent orators and Statesmen of the South. J. H. K WASHINGTON, rULASKI S HOLT, NATHAN BASS. The papers of the Confederate States please copy. A Patriotic Example. Parke Arnold, Ejq., of Coweta county has uniformed an entire Company of soldiers from Palmetto, at his own expense—furnishing ev erything, including swords. He took his own overseer (a very tall man) and made him col- or,bearer of the Company. He has 2,100 acres planted in cotton, aud says that, after deduct ing bis expenses, and enough for ordinary us es, he will subscribe the balance to the Gov ernment; and, besides, will give fifty thousand dollars tor the victory that wins our independ ent. Arnold is one of those dear oppressed Union men for whose relief Lincoln is sending an army down Sooth. Lincoln*! Treason. A correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser Register contends thot tho Confederate States have the legal right to arrest Lincoln* try him for treason, and cxccuto him. We suppose that there is a shorter way of dispos ing of him when he is arrested—one that will be far more satisfactory to everybody in the Confederacy, and of the legality of which there can be no sort of doubt. We think a discuss ion of the question of trying him for treason is profitable. Let us catch him, and a way to dispose of him legally will quickly occur to every mind. For the Southern Confederacy. Mistake Corrected. Mkiicish UxivnasiTr all Rioiit.—On account of the general war axeiUment, the Trustees and Faculty of Mercer University determined to dispense with the usual commencement ex ercises this year. By this they save one hun dred dollars of the expense. This amount President Crawford has mailed to Gov. Brown, aa a donation to the 8tate, to assist the Volun teers—Federal Union. Messrs. Editors: The foregoing item appear ed in the “Federal Union,”and was copied by the “Confederacy.” I know thero is a mistake in tho statement, that the Trustees end Faculty save simply $100 by not having the usual “Commence ment” in the summer, and that they send this amount, through President Crawford as a donation to the State, to assist the Volunteers. The Faculty alone will save several times this amount, and the item, as it stands, carries a mistake upon it« face. The donation, no doubt, the individual contribution of President Crawford. Will the “Federal Union ” please copy this? J. M. W., Ed. 44 Banner A Baptist.” Serene ion of the Memphis Presbytery—A Meeting Called fit Atlanta. At an adjourned meeting of the Preobytery of* Memphis, held In Somerville, Teno., June l$lh and 14th, among other things, the follow- »g resolutions ware adopted ; Resolved, That In the Tear of God, and in View of all the consequences, ws hereby re- Ubence thefr ecclesiastical supervision, and declare our connection with the general as- mm My of the Presbyterian church iu the Uni- JUsolced, That wa suggest to all the Pretby- •rtd. Church in Atlanta. Georgia, on the Thursday tiou of a hundred. They run twenty years, be&riog an interest of eight per cent., payabl semi-annaally. TLis interest will be promptly paid, as a special fund is to be provided for that purpose. These bonds will not be like Treasury notes. The whole loan is fifty mill ions under this Act. Of this awn the Secretary of the Treasury may issue twenty millions i: Treasury notes of a denomination not less than five dollars. These notes are convertible into bonds, if the holder shall desire, and again into Treasury notes ; but at no time can the Treas ury notes exceed twenty millions of dollars.— This subscription by the planters being for Confederate bonds, is properly a loan to the Government. The value ami am of these bonds must rest with the people as legislation now stands. I suppose they will not become a cir eulaliuge jrreucy, as will the Treasury notes but for inyself, I can nay, I would as readily take these bonds as I would the due bill of any neighbor I have, aud honestly believe them the best investment any man can now make. Perhaps the best plan will be for the planter to deduct a sufficiency of his cotton to cover his current expenses, and loan the proceeds of the balance to the Government. During the war we must all bear our burdens; and while current supply bills ought to be paid, old cred itors and monoy dealers ought to be as lenient as possible, and especially charge no man usury for extension. Certaiuly the lawful iuterest is enough for our money friends to make, while other professional gentlemen must be content with much less. If any shall wish more, let him tell his debtor to subscribe his cotton to the Government aud he will take the Confede rate bonds for his note; or, let tho creditor take the cotton directly, and himself subscribe it to the Government, and take the bonds, aud thus get eight per cent, paid certainly and promptly for this use of bis money, and also aid the Government by a patriotic act. At all events, let our surplus, after paying current expenses, be loaned to the Govern ment; and by ao doing we do ourselves no harm ; we support our gallant armies, and above all, we exhibit to the whole world an el ement of powtr, of endurance, and financial re- source which no other nation has ever exhibit ed or ean exhibit. I think it better that the subscriptions of cotton should specify the number of bales.— All of us will aoou be able to judge with con siderable accuracy of our probable crop. We also know very nearly the amount of our cur rent expenses. Put down tbe balance. If you do not come up to the number subscribed tbe Government will visit no penalty. We know you will if you can. We shall make no inquiry and ask no compulsion. Our sole re- lianoe for a substantial compliance is on that which has never yet failed—tbs fidelity of our purple. I again repoat: You specify the time for the sale of your cotton. Sell it yourself, or by yonr own factor, and select your own market. With sdl this the Government has nothing to do. You simply take the net proceeds in good, «n* breakable. Confederate bonds, bearing eight per cent, interest. I will meet the people as often as my cir cumstances and engagements will allow ; and I will give due notice of time and place. It would be well for the agents in each coun ty to call a public meeting for tbe county at an aarly day—at least by the 4th or 8th of July— and bring the subject before the people. The people arw ready aid willing, I am rtcaiving letters of the most cheering character. If any gsntleman who does not get a printed form of inbecriptiou, will send his subscription to me, or will make out a list for his neighbors ac cording to the form attached to my oitcular, and forward It to me, it will be all right The better pl*n, however, is to ees soma one county and eobecilbe, lltbaw* C.rT.ep.ad.Bf.

Richmosd, Virginia, Jans 12,1841. The blast of war whioh sent its bloody echo te us op yesterday, will loon Mow oo eur ears from the direction of Harper's Ferry and Ma- names Junction. Both ends of the Baltimore A Ohio Railroad are in the possession of Lioeelo— making tbe firmer place accessible to his soldiery both from the North and South.. The road from Washington to Loudon coun ty, is also in tba posseasion of the United States. Tbe defenses have been constructed uuder the immediate supervision of an able engineer —Major Whiting— who was appointed by Gen Beauregard to oonduct the fortifications in Charleston harbor for ths redaction of Fort Sumter. Tbe provisions furnished our soldiers at Har per's Ferry by the rieh valley couaties of the State, are reported to be of the most superior kind, and the supply almost inexhaustible. A soldier writes that the army are growing fat off of the sapor b beef, bscan, butter and bread furnished by the wealthy country adjacent lo the great stronghold. A battle will be fought at Manassas within tbs next six or eight days. Tbe Argus-eyed officer in command of our forces—Gen. Beau regard—is firmly convinced that be will be assaulted by twenty or t.venty five thousand Lincolnites within the time designated He has issued orders to his men to hold them selves in readiness lor immediate action, and under no circumstances to be absent for a ment from tbe encampment. His ruen an ported to have unbounded confidence in him and to be confident of victyry. Tbe regiment of Zouaves, together with tbe Choctaw Indian warriors near Norfolk, will be immediately ordered, it is stated, to North Western Virginia, where, from the dense jun gks with which tbe country abounds, they can leap upoh the “ babboon's” litter and annihi late the wholo brood. A report is in active circulation to day that our forces uuder General Porterfield who were sometime ago surprised by the enemy, had been reinforced by the militia, and had attack od the Federal forces near the scene of the Phillippa engagement—completely routing them and recapturing all their arms, baggagi Ac. If no such blow has been struck, it is very sure twenty such will fall, as soon as Wieecan have an opportunity to attack tbe enemy. Severe complaints are being u'tered against our military leaders for failing to fortify defend, to the last extremity, Alexandria. The fault finders proclaim that the moral effect of defending it until reduced by attack and coun ter-attack to even a inass of ruins, would have been worth more to our cause than a dozen such cities. About three hundred negroes have been cap tured at various points along the sea-board and on our peuinsulas, some of which have been set to hard work in tbe construction of fortifi cations; but quite a number, it is reliably stated and believed, have been sent to Cuba to be sold, in order that the proceeds may be ap plied to assist in defraying the expenses of the Yankee war. The black hypocricy and develish philan thropy of these negro pirates will not go un punished. The press and people declare that the procedure must be met by the enslavement of Yankee pritoners until indemnity is wrung from their sordid souls for the robbery. Large reinforcements have been sent to Gen. Magruder, and all are convinced that a bloody harvest is now ripe.
