NEW SERIES: VOL I-NO. 157.
Manas£a,or Manassas —The Richmond pa
pers have, of late, been considerably exer
cised over the name of the great conflict which
Gen. Beauregard has, at last, very appropri
ately named “ The Battle of Manassas Plains.”
The following, from the Richmond Enquirer,
in reference to the name itself, will be read
with interest:
As to the correct spelling, we believe that
Manassas and Manassa are both corruptions.
We remember when the Manassas Railroad
was under discussion, an enthusiastic friend
of that enterprise took up this very question.
He said that the mountain pass had taken its
name from a caterers for the traveling public,
we believe a Jew, who, who for a long time
had his house of entertainment there.
He was widely known, and much esteemed
for his kind heart and good cheer, and t he horse
man would often add many miles to his day’s
journey, that he might spend the night with
“ Old Manasseh,” as they familiarly styled
him. In short, he was as well known as his
gap, and from him the latter caught its name
of Manasseh’s Gap. The writer referred to
closed his narrative, which established the
scripture orthography for the pass, by appeal
ing to the friendsof the railroad to spell it often
and spell it ever “Manasseh.” His zeal and
his learning availed not, however. The rail
road has gone into the legislation of the State
as Manassas Gap Railroad, and so we must
take it.
Ben McCullough’s Call on Texans.
Col. Young and Capt. Throckmorton arriv
al Sherman, Grayson county, on the sth, from
Fort Smith, 30th ult. They reported Jim Lana
at Springfield, Mo., on his way, with a large
force, to attack Arkansas and then Texas.—
Arkansas is not well armed and Missouri is
still worse, and both look to Texas. The Fed
eral forces in Missouri were advancing on
Arkansas by two points, one from Springfield,
Missouri, toward Fayetteville, Arkansas, and
the other towards Camp Walker, Arkansas, by
the way of Granby. On the 28th ult. Gen.
Price, of the Missouri militia, was 30 miles
from Camp Walker with 1000 men poorly arm
ed ; Gov. Jackson, 80 miles, with 1500 men
and the State officers. Lane was at Spring
field, in pursuit of them, with 3000 men, well
armed, (of which 1200 mounted,) and two
batteries. The Missourians were coming in
to Camp Walker every hour.
Gen. Ben McCullough sends the following
call to Texans:
Fort Smith, Ark., June 30, 1816.
Men of Texas, look to your arms, and be rea
dy for an emergency ! The State of Missouri
is almost subjugated ; the small force she has
yet in the field is being driven back upon Ar
kansas. We march to-day to help and aid
them.
The Black Republicans boastingly say they
have conquered Missouri, and will now over
run Arkansas and Texas. Will you permit
it ? Let these States now stand by each oth
er and the victory is ours.
I am not authorised to call you into the field
but the time may soon come I It must not
be said of Texas, that she was not ready.—
Let your horses and arms be kept in good
condition, with at least two wagons to each
company. Take suoh arms as you can get. Had
we arms here, Arkansas could sustain herself.
Texans, remember your former victories,
and prepare to march to others.
You won your independence of Mexico, and
will again do it from a more tyrannical foe.
The South will never be subjugated, never!
never ! !
ben McCullough,
Brigadier-General Commanding.

gtayFrom the Nashville Market Report of
ths 10th instant, we take the following :
As the season advances and the planters
have availed themselves of their Oat crops,
Corn exhibits a downward tendency, and we
notice a considerable decline during the week,
the market closing at 65@70c per bushel.
The stock of Bacon is light, and with a good
consumptive as well as export demand,
the market is very firm. We quote as follows :
Shoulders 12J@13|c, Hams 14J@15jc, and
Sides 16@18o per lb., the outside figures being
for small or retail lots. Lard may be quoted
at 13|(a>,15c per lb. in barrels and kegs. In
a conversation to day with one of our most
experienced business men, he advanced the
idea that we should run short of provisions
during the next nine months, and that prices
would inevitably rule high. He thinks the crop
es Hogs in the Southern States is not suffi
cient tbe present year to meet the wants of
our people. This is probably true, but the
evil may be greatly mitigated by farmers ta
king the matter in hand at once. Fortunate
ly for us, our Wheat and Corn crops are finer
this season than they have been for many
years. Tbe Wheat, already harvested, is am
ple for every man, woman and child in the
land, soldiers inclusive. The Corn promises
to be the most abundant ever known. There
is enough growing now in tbe Confederate
States to make a sufficiency of meat for our
own consumption, if we only had the Hogs.
A pig taken in band now and properly fed,
will make good bacon by February. The re
gular ajgwk bogs, by the same feeding begun
at double the usual average of
pounds * December. The abundance of Corn
will enable farmers to adopt this system im
mediately. The subject is too important to
be neglected. Without meat, we cannot wage
successful war, nor secure our independence.
Ths Names Settled.— Gen. Beauregard,
who certainly has the best right to decide in
the matter, has determined to call the great
battle of July 21st, “ The Battle of Manassas
Plains.” The fight on the 18th will be called
“ The Battle of Bull Run.”
The “Confederacy” has more than three
times the circulation of any paper in Georgia,
North of Augusta, and is fully equal to that of
any paper in the State.
