SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. J'lmiltccn (Eonf cdr rati GEO. W. ADAIR J. HENLY SMITH, carrots aid raorticTots. ATLANTA, GEORGIA: TUESDAY, JULY 30, 1801. The Meeting Saturday Night and Some Remarks Thereon. We attended the meeting at the City Hall on Saturday night. A few of our oitiseoe were collected together. Dr. E N. Calhoun presided, and W. S. Hanford, Eso., acted a* Secretary. The proceedings, as furnished by the Sec retary, appear in our oolumns this morning ; but neither from these, or the published call for the meeting which appeared in our paper, aro the full objects of the meeting made man ifest as we gathered them by being present — The call did not state for what purpose it was mule. General llice, however, explained the object, introduced a set of resolutions, and teveral other persons mads speeches. The purport of these speeches and resolutions are not given in the official proceedings. We so belied a copy of the resolutions to be laid be fore our readers, but our request was not ao- ceded to. Heiog present, howerer, and hearing the resolutions read and the speeches made, we may say that some of the resolutions and some of the sentiments expressed, we caudidly, but respectfully disapprove of. It seems that there are a tew stingy hide-bound mortals in our midst, who have r.ot contributed towards the equipment of our soldiers and the support of their needy families as freely as they ought and as lUeir ability would seem to justify, and we understand oue ot the objects of this meet iug is to appoint a Vigilance Committee to wait on them, inform them of the amount they are required to contribute, and make them “ shell out” or make this country “ too hot for them." This is in addition to having an eye on (< suspeoied perssons,” spies, &o. In the first place, wo consider this move uictit inopportune at this time. There is no necessity for it, and no public demand tor such a step. We kuow it is prompted by a desire to do goed, but we think it a mistaken policy—one calculated to excite much bad feeling and bitterness in the community with out any corresponding good—a result greatly to be deprecated, at this particular time es pi ci ally. It is well known that this city and county has furnished twelve companies of volunteers, besides one hundred regulars, to fi^ht iu our defence, besides voluntarily contributing thousands upou thousands of dollars for the benefit of our soldiers and the relief of such of their families as needed it. The county court and the city authorities have been ac tive, vigilant, and efficient in furthering this object, as far as lay in their power. Hui it is said some men in this city who are rich and able, will not “ shell out;" and that the community should be “ made too hot for themthat it is noi fair for some to contrib uto for these laudable and necessary purpo ses, while others who are able refuse to do so. This last proposition we freely admit. All men should be generous, patriotic and liberal with their wealth, but then a.l are not. The Creator for some wise purpose has placed nu ll people among us, and we cannot see how a vigilance committee can hope to correct lh<s defect in human nature. We see no wrong and have no objections to any or all our citizens, either by committees or as individuals, ferreting out enemies—dis loyal or suspicious perilous, and upon suffi cient proof of their guilt, have them puuished according to the laws of the land or banished from our country ; but we do object to any man or committee of men calling on any cit izen, assessing the amount he shall pay, aud endeavoring to enforoe its payment—tor auy objeot or purpose whatever, against bis con sent. We do most earnestly object to any man or committee of men making an attempt under auy sort of demaud or threat, to oom pel any one to pay any amount outel^e of the demands made upon him by the laws of his State aud the duly constituted authorities of his government. It strikes directly si tbs foundation of all freedom, violates every principle of republican government, and is di rectly in the teeth of one of the plainest and most sacred principles of the constitution of the old government, which has been iucorpo- rtiied into the permanent constitution of the Confederate Stales without alteration or amendment in the slightest particular. It is the brightest and most saered jewel in tho crown of liberty, without which it would be more worthless and oomemptibls than a wrva.h of dried leaves. If a citizen pays the tax that is levied on him by the laws, no other authority or pretended authority should touch his private property to the amount of one red, without his oonsent. A man may be m«au, miserly, and aelfish ; he may be want ing in every principle of generosity and pa triotism. We know a few such, and de- ploro as deeply as any man that such is the fact; but it is a matter between them and their God. It is an evil, for which organised eooiety has no legal remedy and it must there fore be endured. Public scorn and social as (racism they deserve, and should receive ; but no man has a right, under any pretext to touch their property. If you establish the precedent, there is no telling where it may lead to and no one can control its results. Ad mit this dangerous doctrine, and no man's life or property is safe. Every member of socie ty who would think his lot a bard one, might complain that the circumstances of others around him were better, who did not deserve it. Uader tome pretext, men oould be over ready to rise up and appropriate to their owa use such portion as they might tbfiok proper of the assets of those arouad them mors for* lunate than themselves. I We know the eitizens composing tbs mast ing on Saturday night contemplate no each results and have no such object in view ; but wc ask them to pause and reflect upon what I may be the future eoosequeooes of the step 1 they are about to take. Look, for a moment, at publio sentiment at the North for years past, and their present oondiiion! See their fanatioirm and utter disregard of all private rights —their prone ness to violate the spirit and letter of tbs laws which were mads to protect individuals 1 Their dangerous “ higher law” teaohings is the fruitful source of all (he troubles that now environ our country. The agrarianism of the Northern press and publio leaders, has pre pared the minds of the people of that seotion to appropriate the means of others to their own use—thereby violating every wholesome law and moral restraint to accomplish their designs and carry out their insidious here sies Have we seceded from them, but to re-enact their follies and transplant their heresies in our own soil? Let us conform all our acts to the law of the land, and sustain it, in its majesty, by our every aot. Let us be liberal and sustain the South in this emergency to the utmost, with all our property and oar lives, if need be: but let us keep our record clean. Lst us have no Northern heresies—no agrarianism indoctrin ated into our people or the framework of our organization—no interference with private rights, whatever, under any pretext. If we desire toe blessings of Providence; if we intend to rely upon God’s protecting care, instead of taking vengeance into our own hands, let us continue to do right. The poor, miserable wretches who clutch their gold and refuse to assist their country in her hour of need, will surely be punished by Oue wieer and batter than a committee of erriog mor tals. Shot Cuus. By reference to the proclamation of Govern or Brown, which appeared in our issue of Sat urday, it will be 6een that the Stito arms are all well nigh exhausted. Hon. John W. II. Underwood has raised a regiment of volun teers. but the Governor is unable to arm more than a part of his companies. We must bring more men into the field, and we must have them armed, and the questionjarises, how are we to do it? The Governor's plan of borrowing rifles from citizens, and having them altered for the ser vice. is a most capital one, and we have no doubt will be the means of furnishing as many men as we shall need in the service with an arm equal to the best now in service. But we have often woudered why our com panies and regiments do not arm themselves with double barteled shot-guns. It does seem to us that a more effectually destructive wea pon could not be invented. Well made shot guns of propor calibre, aud well charged with buck shot, would, in our escalation, prove to be the most fearful death-d* aling instrument that could be placed in the hands of a brave mao. True, they have not the range of the Sharpe’s rifle; but it must be remembered that, while these guns have great range, they only carry one ball at a charge, while a shot gun might mow down a whole squad at a sin gle discharge. A single buckshot in a vital place is as certain death as a minnie ball. Nearly everybody knows how to handle a shotgun. Most of our men can bring down a bird on the wing with one. We have seen men with a double-barreled gun shoot two birds on the wing in opposite directions. These weap ons are light and not burdensome. Bayonets should be fixed on them. A company or reg iment armed with these should at the onset charge up within 50 yards of the enemy. Then, two rounds would mow down half the enemy and put them to flight. The bayonet and the cavalry would finish the work. A campaign of this kind would necessarily be "abort, sharp, decisive” and victorious, with a far less loss of life than any other. Muskets and rifles are cumbrous and bur densome. Tbetr range is long, but it is neces sarily inacurate, and does but little execution. In the Crimean campaign, which was one of the most fearfully destructive to human life than aDy modtrn war, there waa 700 pounds of lead in musket balls shot away to every raau that was hit. Every one of these musket balls would have made enough of buck shot to kill a half-dozen men, and would have killed them, if fired from a distauceot fifty yards. It has often been said that long range guns —necessarily inacurate as they are—were maae on/g for cowards. We do not endorse this assertion; but it does seem to us that the double barreled shot-gun is far superior, as a convenient and destructive wsspon. Tho time, however, has come when the ex periment must be made ; and we look for the most signal results from it. Another Regiment about to be off for the War. We have seen a letter from the Secretary of War, to our ex-brother of the "Constitutional ist,” Col. Henry Cleveland. It states that the Regiment, ot which it is probable Hon. J. W. II. Underwood will be Colonel, and himself Lieutenant Colonel, will be ordered to service in Virginia as soon asorgsnia d. It is hoped that Col. Underwood, who is now in Virginia, can get good arms; but the letter from the War Department, dated two days be fore the last great battle, instructs Col. Cleve land to arm bis Regiment with the best guns be can get, the Department to pay for them at a fair valuation on their arrival in Richmond. Hi* Excellency, Jos. E. Brown, will accept the Regiment as State troops, end give them all tne arms ho can spare from the coast de* fense. The Governor will have all ths rides that the Companies will get and loan the BlsU, al tered to ths best minnie patterns, at the ex pense of the State, immediately. Tney will also bo provided with bayonete as soon a* the workseen begotten up. Every man to keep bis own gun. A full number of Companies have tendered to the Regiment, but some are not fall of men; and full Companies, ermeo, will probably have the preference. Shot-guns will do when rifles esnnot be bad. Col Underwood is well known as possessing remarkable ability, though not, in technical phrase, a "military tnsnbut Col. Cleveland has had ample opportunities to beoome effi cient; and the Majoralty will he tendered to a gentleman from West Point Academy. Companies are net deaired to offer who will not feel bound to vote for the proposed field officers; but those who will do so, may yet get an early place, "dote to the dashing of the guns," by addressing Colonel Underwood, at Rome. Prizes of the Jeff Davis aud Humter Re captured, and Privateers Murdered. By the New York “ Herald" of the 22d in stant we have the particulars of the capture of the schooner J. 8. Waring, on the 7th of July, by the privateer Jeff Davis. The J. S Waring left New York on the 4th of July, for Montevi deo, South America. When 150 miles out, on the 7lh instant, she was captured. The Captain, (Francis Smith,) two mates, and two seamen, were taken off the Waring, leaving the steward, two seaman and a passenger on board. The pri vateer then placed a prize crew on board of the schooner, consisting of Montague Amiel, of Charleston, in command, a man named Stevens as mats, Malcora Liddy as second mate, and two seamen. They headed the schooner to the South, aiming for tho neighborhood of Charleston, it is said. When 50 miles South of Charleston, ou the night of the lfiih of July, the stewnrd, a ne gro named William Tillman, took a hatchet npd killed the captain and two mates, all of whom are stated to have been asleep. The others of the prize crew surrendered, and were compelled to assist in navigating the schooner back to New York, where they arrived on the 21st instant.— The two privateer seamen were at once arrested by the U. 8. Marshal, and the negro Tillman was made a hero of. The brig Cuba, belonging to Mlllbrldge—a small shipping town in Yankeedom—sailed from Trinidad dc Cuba, for London, on the 2d of Ju ly, with a cargo of sugar and molasses. On the morning of the 4th of July, she waa captured on the South of Cuba, by the Sumter, of the Confederate States Navy. The brig Machlas was captured at the same time. A hawser was attached to them both, to tow them Into a Cuban port. This was about two o’clock on the 4th of July. The Sumter towed them both along until 5 P. M., when the hawser ot the ICachlas parted. The 8umtcr towed the Cuba some ten miles further, and, leaving her, put back after the Machlas. On coming back to the Cuba she could not approach sufficiently near her to get the lmwser, on account of the rough sea, when she proceeded on with the Machias. The 8urater had placed a prize crue on the Cu ba, consisting of five meu—one midshipman, two sailors, and two marines. The prize ciew directed the captain of the vessel to work her towards the land. On the night of the 8th of July, the vessel passed Cape 8a» Antonia—the prize crew, it seems, having determined to run her into some of the Southern ports. That night the captain, first mate and steward of the Cuba had a plan matured by which to regain posses sion of tho vessel, in which they succeeded.— They seized the arms on the vessel and made prisoners of the crew. The captain then steer ed for New York, where the prize crew are now prisoners. We regret to record these sad reverses of our brave privateers. They however had their minds made up for them no doubt; and whatever of ignomiuy or imprisonment may be heaped on them, Lincoln dare not hang one of them, ns lie has threatened to do. Wc say he dare not. They say they Whipped us. We have the New York Herald of the 22d inst.—the day after tbe great battle, which has the brazen effrontery to claim a great Union victory and a complete route of our forces. Its first page is filled with telegraphic reports of tbe fight from Washington- none of which in dicate any thing else than the greatest victory. But let the mendacious sheet speak for itself. "Fairfax, C. H., July 21.—I am en route to Washington with details of a great battle. We have carried the dag. The rebeles accepted battle, but are totally routed. LATER. "Gen. McDowell telegraphs, that the enemy are completely routed from Lulls Run, and re treating towards Manassas, leaving their batter ies in possession of the Union forces'' Again : "Tbe rebels were driven back inch by inch, leaving tbeir dead ob the field." The Herald’a correspondent at Bulls Run at half-past four, V. M., says: "Five or six thousand of thefenemy are seen retreating in the direction of Manassas Junc tion." A telegraph to the Herald, dated the 2Ut, at 8 P.M., says: "I have just arrived in Washington. I have been on the battle-field all day. I saw the rebels flying in vast numbers, before leaving the field ot glory and carnage." The Herald heads these columns of lies with the following: BRILLIANT UNION VICTOTY. The Rebels Routed and Driven Rack to Ma nassas. TIIBRIBKL ARMY 8BVBNTY THOUSAND STRONG. And ha heads a leading editorial as follows: "THE ORRAT UEIOE VICTORY AT BULt’S BUR—IIOW BRIGHTLY BEM1ME THE IfORRIRG." Clothing for the Soldiers. Gen. Ira R. Foster, Quartermostcr-Gcueral of the 8tatc of Georgia, has issued s public address to our people, urging them to prepare winter clothing for the soldiers nowin the field from this 8tale, and proposes to transport the cloth- lug to them free of charge. We copy the main point iu the address, which covers the whole proposition, aud ask our read ers everywhere to avail themselves of the ad vantages ot his proposition: “ L«t each neighborhood, or town, or village, that has sent a company or companies Into the field, meet and agree on a superintendent to ar range the articles for the company. Let each article be marked by card, who It Is from, who for. Let the representation of each company meet together, box up all the articles for each company seperatcly. On the box let the name of the Captain, name of the company, aud num ber of the regiment be plainly marked and ship ped U> me at this place. Let the Superintend- ent forward to me, at the same time, a ftiU state ment of names and number of men In compa- n 7»“ d l . h6 “tlrlea each is to receive, and they shall go immediately, free of charge? The Captured Batteries. The following description of the Batteries, taken by oar troop* at tbe tattle of Manassas, is from the Washington correspondent of (he New York Tribune : We have sow all batteries of flying artil lery. three new ones having been added to those of Capt. Pickett's. Capt. Ay res, (who sue eeeded Major Sherman.) and Capt. Griffin.— They are offioerea and manned from tbe regulras, who have been on duly at tbe Po- tomao forts. Capt Carlisle commituds that of Fort Corcoran, which consists of two rifled esnnon, two 6-pound and two 12 pound how- iizers, and will be attached to Gen Scbeuck's brigade, which wifi form a portion of tbe left wing of the army , that of Fort Runyon is commanded by Lieuf. Greer, end ofFort Ells worth by Cspt Arnold. These will be equal in metal and men to Capt Carlisle, and proba bly the former will be in the centre, and the latter on the right wing. Captain Seymour is preparing a siege bat tery which is to consist of enormous rifled cannon. This will be in tbe column, proha bly the centre, designed to operate upon tbe fortifications of Manassas Junction, if they should be held when reached there. Griffin’s battery, stationed at the City Hall, departed for other side of the river, pro vided with in* guns, 12-pounders, an extra amount of » munition, and an additional number of horses. Captain Brewer’s battery arrived here at 7 o olock yesterday morning, direct from Fort Pickens. The battery consist of four pieces, 12-pounders. and 84 men. Another battery follows the above here to-day. From the New York Newt, July 15th. Southerners at the North. We are told with many notes of self-con gratulatory admiration that Southerners, nay, that even tbe members of the families of prom inent Secessionists, reside undisturbed at the North, while Northern men are treated with more or less indignity at the South. We sup pose that it is no great credit to us that this is so. We are confident that our Northern hotel keepers aud Broadway merchants are sorry that there are so few representatives of tbe South among us, and would use all tbeir influence to prevent injury to those who hap pen to be within our borders Of course, these men and women of Southern birth who are noo-comba'ants are entitled to protection. There is no legal way to disturb 'hem, and we think the Administrulion would not yet at tempt to raise the standard here of nioh law, io order to frighten away a few helpless wo men and children, and old men, whose only crime is the accideut of tbeir birth, or tbeir relationship to somebody in the Secession ar my All is different in (he South. That part of tbe land is like a beleaguered city. Its ports are blockaded aud it is menaced on every frontier by immense armies. We know little of what is going on there, or of the condition of society, except from reports colored by the prejudices and feelings of the narrators ; but it is natural to expect that among men fight ing. as it were, for existence, there might be exhibitions of passion very different from those belonging to a community unmenaced by actual war. We have no doubt that during tbe Revolutionary war, Americans born and the relatives of rebels lived without molesta tiou or itidignify in England ; while here, amoDg tbe patriots of that time, an English man who was not identified with the revolti tiotiary cause would be apt to be treated somewhat rudely. Human nature is much the same in all climes and ages, and whatever may be the faults of the South and tbe vir tues of the North, io similar esses their con. duct would not be very unlike. The false teachings of Abolitionism have represented Southerners not as men, but rather as demons and outlaws, aliens to ali sympathy, and en titled to no respect or consideration. We must endeavor to unlearn all this. The tth of July and the Prospects of the Southern Confederacy In England. The London correspondent of the New York News, writing on the 6th July, says: The American meeting here to celebrate the 4th was a mournful evidence of the decline the national spirit already feels The Times gives a full account of it, accompanied by a scathing article, io which tho Southern States are declared to be the true inheritors of the doctrines of Revolution aud Independence, by virtu* of their Washington and his illustrious Virginia compeers; and (he vindictive sup. porters of the war are reminded that precise iy tbs arguments and phraseology they use to-day were used by the reviled and detested namesake and precedent representative of their section, to-wit: Lord North ! The Manchester Guardian, a mouthpiece of the great cotton-spinning interest, dismisses the 4th of July party thus: " The Americans resident in London celc brated the 4th of July by a dejeuner, presided over by a New York clergyman. No American of note was present, aud the speeches deliv ered on tbe occasiou are noticeable only on account of tbe absence of that insolent and menacing tone adopted at the Paris break fast." At Liverpool there was a quiet but influen tial gathering of Peace men, whose appeal will soon be making its way throughout your Northern States. It will represent the dis tinction and the wealth of our greatest Amer ican trading seaport. Several vessels in that harbor flaunted the flag of the Southern Confederacy. If the war should oontioue, depend upou it that arms, munitions aDd supplies of every description will reach the South from this country and the Coni inant of Europe, and cotton and tobacco brought thence, should your fleets have to be annihilated in the at tempt. Whole civilized nations will not look idly on and brook a wanton infliction of ruin upon any great interest that concerns tbeir own welfare. It is declared here that a cessation of your oivil war concerns mankind ; aud that there being no unanimity on either eide of your dis pute. natioos oan be guided in their action by their sympa hies aod interests, as they have been always. The reported employment of officers from the despotio armies of Europe, in the Northern service, is talked of here a mong the people as a most significant and unfavorable sign, Ohio Hogs—The Lewisburg Chronicle, no ticing Gen. McClellan's scheme for subjuga ting Riohmood by marohing columns of troops to Abingdon and Covington, and taking the railweyi to tbe Capitol, says : We have lived in Lewisburg for nsarly 30 years, aod during that time many large droves of Ohio bogs have passed by tbe grratKanaw*, ha route to Richmond, but we have no re collection of any of them having returned. It would be as well, perhaps, for Gen. McClellan to remember the reason given by the fox for not entering the apartment of thesiok lion, and abstain ftom leading hie poreioa follow ers by a roots along which uone of their pre decessors hate tear and# returning trash*. A Fight lu liraxton t'ouut\ —The Llucoln- Itee Caught and tv hipped. A few days since Col. Tyler, who was form sriy a Yankee fur trader iu the Northwestern counties iu this State, and who is now station ed at Western, in Lewis county, and commands Lincoln’s ruffians there, determined to make au excursiou into Braxton county ; but the Colonel was frustrated in his designs Some of the Braxton boys, learning his plans, de teroiined to bead him off. and. accordingly selected a point on the road lie was traveling suitable for their purpose, and accomplished their designs in the following manner : At a point where the Colonel had to ascend along hill, they felled trees in his path aud fell back to a convenient point, where they laid in ambush until he parsed. They then fell ed trees in his rear, also, thus completely catch ing him iu a trap They then fired upon him, killing some fifty or sixty of his men and c t i- turiog many of bis horses, &c This enter prise, we understand, was conducted by oue of the backwoodsmen of the county, and, from its success, we presume that Col. Tyler, who is said to have accomplished some gallant ex ploits in another capacity io that section of country, will be a little more careful io his ex cursions of rap>ue and plunder ou the Brax ton people. Hotv the Liberty of the People Is regard ed by Lincoln's Officers. 8t. Louis, July 19,1861. The following proclamation has just been re ceived from Brigadier-General Pope: 8t. Charles, Mj., July 12,1861. To the People of North Missouri : By virtue of power and authority, I have as sumed command in North Missouri. I appear among you with a force strong enough to main tain the authority of the Government, and loo strong to bo resisted by any means in your pos session usual in warfare. Upon your own as surance that you would respect the laws of the United States, and preserve the peace, uo troops have hitherto been sent iu your section of the country. a The assurances, for tbe last ten days, howev er, have plainly exhibited your lack of either the power or inclination to fully carry out the pledges, and the Government has therefore found it necessary to occupy North Missouri with a force powerful enough to compel obe dience to the laws. A.- soon as it is made man ifest that you will respect Its authority, ami put down unlawful combinations against it,you will lie relieved of the presence of the force under my command, hut not until then. 1 therclore warn all persons ink iug up arms against the Federal authority, who attempt to commit dep redations upon public or private property, or who molest uuotfending or peaceable citizens, that they will be dealt with iu a moat summary manner, without waiting civil process.
