Notice.
Very often our friends hand in local notices
and advertisements too late in the even
ing for their appearance next norning. The
printers leave our office at six o’clock; and for
more than two hours before they leave no new
matter can be got in. In order to insure in
sertion, they should be furnished to us by two
o’clock.
Advertising.
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. We do not make this state
ment either as a boast, or in order to convey
any erroneous impression, we say it candidly
—knowing what we say—and because it is
true.
The Southern Confederacy Office,
Has a reliable special letter and telegraphic
correspondent at Manassas Junction—the great
attractive field of battle at present. We have
also engaged reliable correspondents from vari
ous points in Virginia. Everybody wants to
hear the news, and all important dispatches or
news items received by us, will be promptly
placed on the Confederacy bulletin.
In these exciting times it is probable that ex
travagant rumors will get afloat. We caution
the people against them, and beg everybody to
be careful what they believe.
We have every possible facility for obtaining
correct news. This, however, costs us heavily,
and we hope every one who is so anxious to get
war news will admit the equity of subscribing
and paying for our paper.
Quite a number of names on our daily list and
a few on the weekly, will be erased this week,
unless the subscriptions are renewed. We in
variably stop sending the paper at the termina
tion of the time for which it is paid.
fagr" Our terms for the Daily are $5 per annum
or 50 cents per month—the cheapest Daily in
the South, that gives the same amount of read
ing matter.
IST In all cases, subscribers to the Daily
“ Confederacy” will be charged at the rate of
50 cents per month for any length of time less
than one year.
The Weekly is a very large sheet, full of the
choicest reading matter. The cheapest way to
get the news is to subscribe for the Confeder
acy.

The solicitude about friends who were in the
great battle at Manassas Junction on the 21st
inat., will cause many in Georgia and Alaba

will elate that if they go by the Virginia route
they should leave Montgomery by the morn

on this Road—the connection by thia train is
r/w, going through from Montgomery to Rich

FOR THE “ SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.’’
Richmond, August 21.—The President ap
proved to-day an act empowering the Presi
dent to appoint two other commissioners to
Europe. The act empowers the President to
determine to what nations the commissioners
now in Europe shall be accredited, and to pre
scribe their duties. The two additional com
missioners will receive the same pay as those
now in Europe.
The President also approved an act for the
aid of the State of Missouri, in repelling the
invasion, and to authorize her admission into
the Confederacy.
The preamble sets forth that the people of
Missouri have been prevented, by the uncon
stitutional interference of the Federal Gov
ernment, from expressing their will in regard
to union a with the Confederates, and that Mis
souri is nowengagedinrepellingthelawless in
vasion of her territory by armed forces.
The Confederate Government consider it
their right and duty to aid the Government
and people ot Missouri in resisting this inva
sion, and securing the means and opportunity
o f expressing their will upon all questions af
fecting their rights and liberties.
The President is authorized to co-operate,
through the military power of this Govern
ment, with the authorities of Missouri, in de
fending that State against the lawless inva
sion of its soil by the United States, in main
taining the liberty and independence of Mis
souri, with power to accept the services of
troops sufficient to suit the purpose.
The act provides for the admission of Mis
souri into the Confederacy, on anequal footing
with the other States, when the provisional
Constitution shall be ratified by the legally
constituted authorities of Missouri, and an
authentic copy shall be communicated to the
President.
The President will then, in accordance with
the provisions of the act, issue his proclama
tion announcing the admission of Missouri in
to the Confederacy.
The act recognizes the Government in Mis
souri, of which Claiborne F. Jackson is Chief
Magistrate.
Gen. Ochiltree, of Texas, introduced a reso
lution, which was unanimously adopted, com
plimenting the splendid victory obtained by
Gen. McCulloch and his brave army at the
battle of Oak Hill, near Springfield, Missouri.

a long time, he was, on his knees, forced to
take the following oath: “I am sorry that I
have published what I have, and I promise
that I will never again publish articles against
the North, or in favor of secession, so help me
God.”
Washington, Aug. 20.—Ex-Mayor Barret re

An exchange of prisoners is being consid

The rumors of fighting at the Chain Bridge
are doubtless untrue.
The National Republican, speaking of the
supposed intention of the Confederates in
crossing the Potomac, for the purpose of in
vading lower Maryland, says a negro insur
rection is more probable, and threatens a for

ders are loyal. The Republican is the organ
of Lincoln.
The London Time* says nothing but a vic
tory which wipes out the Manassas defeat can
save Lincoln from ultimate impeachment for
having begun the war.
The Globe and Shipping Gazette attacks the
details of the blockade.
The London Post Bays, if England drifts in
to the quarrel, the fault will rest on Lincoln,
who attempts a blockade which he cannot ren
der complete.
Cairo, Aug. 20.—A small battle was fought
at Charleston, Mo., last night, in which the
Confederates are reported worsted. The Con
federates were 600 strong under Col. Hunter,

S. Louis, 20.—The town of Commerce, Mo.,
has again fallen into the hands of the Fede
rals—the Confederates retiring without a fight.

terday, at once to assume command of his de
partment.
Washington, August 20.—Ex Mayor Berret
refused to take the oath of allegiance to the
Lincoln government. The exchange of pris
oners has been considered, but no decision has
been arrived at.
Lincoln is opposed to any act that will in
any way recognize the existence of the Con
federate government.

says he has no power to atop correspondence
between the North and South, by express.—
That power belongs to the Treasury Depart
ment

Office, at Winchester, has been gutted.

low’s guns.

a Mail Line from Station 17 on the Savannah,
Albany <t Gulf Railway to Monticello, Fla.;
but the Postmaster-General is not required to

ion, the public interest demands it.
