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

any erroneous impression, we say it candidly

A MONUMENT TO BARTOW.
As a mark of the high estimation in which
we hold the memory of the brave Col. Bartow,
who so nobly perished while gloriously de
fending the cause of the Southern Confede
racy, it is proposed by one of his numerous
friends, that a suitable monument be erected
to the lamented hero.
For this laudable purpose, then, let the mo
thers, daughters and sisters of Georgia, in
whose defense he fell, subscribe each the small
sum of one dollar. It is further proposed that
Dr. J. B. Walker, of Augusta, Mr. Jones Gres
ham, of Macon, Mr. Wm. Markham, of At
lanta, Mr. John Stoddart, of Savannah, and
Hon. G. E. Thomas, of Columbus, be appoint
ed to receive the subscriptions. If the above
named gentlemen will kindly aid the cause
in this way, it is requested that they testify
their willingness through the newspapers.—
Let the women of Georgia come forward
promptly in this noble undertaking. We sug
gest, also, that the different Volunteer Asso
ciations of ladies take the matter in hand, and
that in every community where none such
exist, they may be early formed. We may
thus speedily raise a monument befitting the
i gallant dead. It is a small contribution. We
can and will do it. The Editors of Georgia
will confer a favor on every woman of Geor
gia by publishing this and frequently calling
attention to it. For the present, any commu
nications on the subject may be addressed to
“ LUCILE,”
Berzelia, Georgia.
The Southern Express.
An anonymous writer, in the late Montgom
ery (Ala.) Confederation, and in the Co
lumbus (Ga.) Sun, who, doubtless, desires to
get up an opposition company to the Express,
or has failed in an attempt to do so, seems to
be greatly exercised upon the subject. He says
the President of the Company, H. B. Plant,
was born at the North, and that the wagons
and horses, used by Company, are the same
heretofore used by Adams’ Express.
Now, as a man has no choice as to the place
of his birth, we are not quite sure that he is
to blame on that account. So that he is an
honest, trustworthy, good, patriotic citizen,
(and Mr. Plant, who has lived in this city for
many years, is, we believe all this,) we think
the sin of being born North of Mason and
Dixon’s line, might well be pardoned. Many
of our good Southern men and brave soldiers
were born there; and as to the wagons and
horses, we only wish we had enough of them
to haul the army supplies and hospital stores
to every needy company in the Confederacy.
We have a great many wagons, horses, and
arms, that formerly belonged to the enemy,
and which were taken in the battle of Manas
sas Plains, but we believe no one complains
of that.
Is the writer of these diatribes against the
Southern Express Company a Southerner him
self ? If so, why is he endeavoring to cut us
off from one of the most eeffiient means of
supplying our troopa ? Perhaps it may be to
gratify some private pique that he inflicts his
articles upon the public ; certainly he might
be better employed in fighting the battles of
of his country than in thus attacking those
who are furnishing facilities for conveying
materials, &c„ necessary for its defence.—
He appears to be painfully afflicted with ca
coethet icribendi, and when he recovers, if ev
er, from that disease, we venture to suggest
that be may find to his mortification, that
“He only pays the pain he suffers,
Clipping, tike a pair of snuffers,
Lights that will but burn the brighter
For this temporary blighter.”
