ATLANTA, GEORGIA:
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEM’R 4, 1861
Kentucky.
This State is on the* brink of civil war.
Soon her fields will be deluged in the blood of
her own citizens. The fearful experiences of
Missouri will be her early lot, we have but little
doubt. Her people are hopelessly—irrecon
cilably divided, and wiil never harmonize
The crisis has come—the issue forced upon
her, which she can no longer avoid but must
meet—all unprepared though she be. The
Kangaroo despot has resolved no longer to
respect the position of neutrality which she
resolved to assume at the outset. Her portion
of the tax is wanted; and her quota of men are
now especially needed in the thinned ranks of
the said Kangaroo’s army. Her telegraph
lines are to be prohibited from sending us any
more news; and her railroads transporting
any more of the produce of her own soil, to
us. These are the measures resolved on—
though not yet consummeted.
But a small propotion of her citizens were
originally secessionists, while a large number
of them were and are now, rank Lincolnites
and abolitionists—ln the Presidential election
last fall, Lincoln got 1364 votes—in some
counties getting a majority; and he would
have received thousands more, if anything
like a fair State organization could have been
gotten up by them. A considerable majority
of the people, in our judgment, when the is
sue comes, will refuse to pay tribute to Lin
coln or furnish him men wherewith to subju
gate the South ; and they will also refuse to
allow him and his minions to dictate to them
iu relation to their internal affairs. Lincoln,
and not the South, forces this issue. We
have not, attempted and will not attempt to
force any one to unite with us; and while a
very large majority—perhaps seven tenths of
them —were opposed to our Secession, we be
lieve a majority of them now, will not allow
themselves to be used in making war on us.—
They might stand by and see us crushed out;
but they will not be forced to lend a hand to
assist in the work of subjugation.
But there is a vast number of them who are
resolved to stand by the union at all hazards.
These two elements will collide and as one or
the other will triumph, so will Kentucky go
in this contest. Lincoln will no doubt throw
as large a force into the State as he can spare;
and perhaps our Government may help the
Southerners in that State as in Missouri, and
perhaps not. We shall soon see.

The Blockade Broken.
The British ship Alliance, laden with arms,
percussion caps, quicksilver, assorted threads,
X-®— articles ea pool ally by us at
this time—successfully run the blockade, and
landed at Beaufort, North Carolina, last week.
Ou Sunday morning, the West Indian, laden
with 1,500 bags of coffee, from Rio de Janeiro,
landed safely at Charleston, having success
fully run the blockade off the harbor.
The West Indian reports the bark Indus,
and schooner 11. P. Russell, of Charleston ; the
Moaco, of New Orleans; and the Ann E.
Grant, of Richmond, all at Rio—having run
the blockade successfully, in making egress
from our ports.
The Charleston**' Mercury,” of the 2d in
stant, says :
“ Wo would mildly suggest to the Foreign
Consuls in Charleston the interesting fact that,
within the last ten days, at least four large
merchant vessels, with full cargos from for
eign ports, have sailed into ports of the two
Carolinas. Comment is needless."
The blockade is at an end. Henceforth, the
interference with any merchant vessel that es
says to enterour ports, will be robbery and
piracy on the high seas. Lincoln has under
taken to establish and maintain a blockade,
and hns utterly and most disgracefully failed.
Hereafter we are to get what foreign goods we
want from England, France, Ac. In future,
trade with the Yankees will be cut off. While
♦he war lasts, a Yankee vessel, or any vessel
ladden with goods on Yankee account, will
not dare to approach our ports; and, before
the war ends, direct trade with Europe will
have been fully inaugurated and established
—the channel will have been opened and
trade flowing through it in a steady stream,
without impediment. Once established—once
fairly under way, and all will be well after
that- We will get ail our dry goods from Eu
rope, without the tariff of going through Yan
kee hands, and greasing Yankee fingers, and
send our cotton there without the bleeding tax
it suffers in consequence of all its bills passing
through New York.
Three cheers for that “ magnificent block
ade ! It has done us some good, as well as
some harm.
• ♦
Mail Robbery.
The Savannah "News,” of the 2d instant,
says:
“ Letters sent from postoffices on the route
from Augusta toGillisonville, thence to Charles
ton and Savannah, byway of the Charleston
and Savannah Railroad, have been robbed on
several different occasions within the last
mouth. Ono hundred dollars recently enclos
ed in a letter, with a check on Charleston for
S2O. have been stolen.”
This is not the only locality infested by mail
robbers. Lately, on two occasions, money let
ters mailed to us at Elberton, have failed to ar
rive. We think Judge Reagan would do well
to send out his agents, and keep a sharp look
out for mail robbers. These disturbed times,
no doubt, will develops many of them.
That Earthquake.
On Saturday morning, the shock of an earth
quake was felt by many of our citizens. Wo
notice, by our exchanges, that it was felt at
Knoxville, Lynchburg, Wilmington, Charles
ton. Augusta, and Savannah.
Could that have been the heavy and fearful
tread of the Southern Army, as they, iu their
might and power, are going forth to meet the
vile invadens of our soil ?

TIMES AT HAND, AC., AC.
Camp Bartow, 2% Miles North-East of i
Manassas Junction, >
August 20,1861. )
Drar Confederacy: The present condition of
our regiment, the 11th—not the 10th as former
ly numbered—its wants, comforts and sanitary
condition, so much concern me, that I cannot
longer refrain from laying before you our con
dition and wants—hoping thereby to awaken a
new' interest at home in behalf of those whose
health and bodily comforts I have pledged my
self to look after and sustain as far as possible,
whether on the battle field or these green slopes
of the Old Dominion.
Misfortunes seem to have been with and con
stantly in advance of us since leaving Rich
mond ; for no sooner had we reached there, than
a hurried movement to Winchester was ordered.
Within five hours after reaching the latter place,
we were again ordered on a forced march to re
ioforce Gen. Beauregard at Manassas, leaving
tents, knapsacks and baggage.behind to be trans
ported at a convenient time. After plodding
our weary way through rain, mud, swollen
streams and over spurs of the Blue Ridge, we
arrived twelve hours too late to have our names
recorded on the battle list or share the honors
of the fight. Wet to the skin and fatigued, we
were thrown or rather planted in a meadow on
the banks of the famous Bull Run, without tents,
rations or comforts—having no water save that
afforded by the muddy stream, then highly fla
vored with the dead bodies of the Yankees.—
Through necessity, our brave fellows partook of
the dietillation as though unmindful of its con
dition. For nine days we were thus bivouaced.
At length our superiors had Compassion on us
and changed our location. Within ten hours
thereafter, we were ordered to Camp Bartow
where we now are. We here, have more com
forts, such as good water, wood and provisions.
This Brigade is composed of the Seventh Geor
gia, Col. Gartrell; Eighth Georgia, acting Col.
Cooper; Ninth Georgia, Col. Goulding; Elev
enth Georgia, Col. Anderson, and one Kentucky
battalion, Col. Taylor—the whole commanded
by Gen. Samuel Jones, a gentleman and soldier
formerly of the United States Army. Tents
have been furnished which, added to the rem
nant forwarded us from Winchester, together
with a few pressed into our service and given
us, render our hill-side home less desolate than
before. The hygiene of the regiment is my
daily study; for upon this depends, in a great
measure, the efficiency of the men. Yet all this
can effect but little so long as they are forced to
sleep in their miserable wedges of tents furnish
ed us by the Governor before leaving Georgia.
They are low, narrow, pinned tightly to the
ground, without flies and made_of ordinary os
naburgs. Under such bolting cloths, who can
expect to keep dry ? The heavy dews we are
now having penetrate them like a sieve; indeed,
moisture seems to have been woven in their
Tory texture —in n irord, they are unfit to shel
ter half a dozen ordinary cabbages from an Oc
tober frost. Straw, ditching, daily airing, every
thing devised and furnished cannot improve
them, and so long as men are forced to burrow
in such kennels, disease and death will be con
stantly with us. The company from l ee, Capt.
Stokes; Beauregard Rifles, Capt. Wood; the
Joe Brown Boys, Capt. Hyde; the Gainesville
Light Infantry, Capt. Mitbhell, are all thus pro
vided. Notwithstanding all this, with other
pests, such as incessant rains, &c., general good
cheer prevails. Scarce a murmur escapes the
lips of most of them. There are some, howev
er, who arc tenderlings, in body and spirit, who
crave a respite from camp life and piteously ask
to be discharged, lest the approaching winter or
another forced march should prostrate them be
yond recovery. Boys, for such they are, snould
have remained at home in the care of the nurse
until they had reached manhood’s years. I would
suggest that all applicants for enlistment should
first be thoroughly examined by a physician ap
pointed either by the company or county. We
have had too much already from these over-zeal
ous specimens of the nursery and school room.
A few suggestions to citizens of counties from
which companies have been formed, and I am
done. The winters in Northern Virginia are ex
ceedingly severe, sudden in approach and of
long duration. I would urge the necessity of
refitting each company with all their wants, such
as clothing, caps, woolen under shirts, shoes,
socks, Ac., and above all, a new supply of tents
—large, with wall and fly, so as to make the men
at least comfortable. Let each county, then, call
a meeting, raise the funds, make the article,
pack and ship tneiu to Quartermaster-General
Foster at Atlanta, and they will be transported
free of charge.
I would remark just here, that whilst at Bull
Run, exposed to constant rain, and bad water,
without tents, 48 was the highest number re
ported on the morning sick list; but whilst here,
blessed (?) with the comforts of Dutch oven tents,
the number has reached a much higher figure.—
The French bivouac is decidedly more healthy
than the American wedge, whose base is close to
the damp ground and no ventilation. Let us
have, then, ample tents sufficiently large to ac
commodate six men, and I guarantee better
health and fewer applications for discharge.
Measles and its sequences alone troubles us
in the way of diseese—the latter now, being our
especial pest. Otherwise, our appetites are our
greatest annoyance, since the “going out” of
the measles. A few days of such appetites as
we are now blessed with will place all on their
feet and bring back the ruddy hue of health and
vigor.
Col. Anderson is active iu thediscbaige of his
duties ; knows his responsibility, and keeps fa
vor with Gens. Johnston and Jones. I can ap- |
predate a man qualified in every sense to fill an i
office so responsible; as my annoyances are few- i
I er and labor less.
I Mbch lias been said respecting the future '
| plans of Gens. Beauregard and Johnston. Ac- I
live preparations are going on, which I will not ’
recite. Do not then be surprised to hear of a
I second Bull Run defeat at Alexandria before the I
| wan? of another moon. MORE ANON.

Death of Lieut. Washington—Healh
—Fine Drilling—Soon to Move
Forward.
Montbry, Va., Aug. 26, 1861.
Dear Confederacy: We mourn to-day the loss
of a brave man—Lieut. Washington, of the Con
federate States Army, from South Carolina. He
was Lieut, of Artillery, and fired the first can
non at Fort Sumpter.* He was was with us at
Laurel Hill, andacted his part in the fight there
and the subsequent fights in the retreat, nobly.
At Cheat River it v ar him that fired our can
non with such terrible effect. After being or
dered several times to retreat with his battery,
he fired the last cannon, jumped upon the top
of his favorite piece, waved his sword over his
head in defiance of the enemy, (who were now
in one hundred yards of him,) and gave three
cheers for Jeff. Davis. Throughout the whole
retreat he kept the men together and cheered
them up as much as human could. He was a
brave man, and the South has lost a noble son.
Like many others who were on the retreat, he
hrs since taken the fever, and yesterday, the
25th, breathed his last. He was buried with
military honors, the Newnan Guards acting as
an escort. Capts. Hanvey and Houser, Adju
tant Anderson, Lieuts. Stone, Wiley and At
kinson were the Pall Bearers. His remains
were followed to the grave by the officers of
the Ist Georgia Regiment, and a large con
course of soldiers and citizens. Peace to his
ashes!
Those of the Ist Georgia that are here are all
in excellent health, with the exception of a
very few.
The weather, which has been very bad for
several days past, is now clear and pleasant.
Our Companies are drilling twice everyday.
And here permit me to say, that a better drill
ed regiment does not exist in the Confederate
or United States regulars, or any others. We
had a review yesterday morning, which would
have attracted the admiration of the French
Emperor. As soon as another regiment ar
rives here, which is on the way from Staunton,
we will take up the line of m <rch to the Alle
ghanies, where we will meet the enemy.
Respectfully,
GEORGIA.
*This is an error of our correspondent. The
venerable Edmund Ruffin, of Virginia, fired
the first shot at Sumter, though Lieut Wash
ington was present, and assisting, as we have
been informed.

Camp Davis, Near Lyschbufo. Va., 1
August 27th, 1861. j
Dear Confederacy : You remember that in
one of my former letters I told you that the
City of Lynchburg was connected by canal, as
well as by rail, with Richmond. The stock
holders in this canal company thought they
were making a profitable investment of their
capital, in building it, but it failed to pay div
idends, and many of them have endeavored to
■ell at ruinous discounts ; but suddenly an im
petus has been given to the trade in this paper
that has set the “ Wall-street” brokers of
Lynchburg and other cities all in a blaze. This
impetus in trade comes from no less cause than
from the Emperor of the French, having an
agent in Richmond, for the ostensible purpose
of purchasing the whole and sole right to nav
igate this artificial river, also the right to be
given him to extend it to the Ohio. By this
means thousands of the French laborers, now
without the means of subsistence, would find
employment for years, and accomplish the
darling scheme of his Majesty iu owning pro
perty extending to the great West. Whether
the sale has actually been made, I am unin
formed, but I was assured by one of the stock
holders that it certainly would be mado in a
very short period. Here is something, then,
that our enemies can ponder on, and inquire
whether they can expect sympathy or aid from
Louis Napoleon, when he has, or will have,
millions investd in a State that they have
chosen to make the theatre of war. The ex
citement consequent, if this were reduced to
an absolute certainty, would be immense, and
I would also feel safe in saying then, that th a
French would take the war off of our hands,
and “ carry it into Africa," rather than thwart
for one instant this design of their Emperor.
But I ought to tell you aboutour Georgia troops,
and leave diplomatic affairs with older and
wiser heads.
As a matter of course, expectation is on tip
toe, and every one expresses by the counte
nance the anxiety they feel as to the where
abouts of our regiments and battalions when
we leave here. A new feature in our organi
zation, it is supposed, is about to take place,
viz: to turn our battalion of artillery into a
regiment. We have now five companies, viz:
Cherokee Artillery, CepL Yeizer; Spring Place
Volunteers, Capt Wilson; Barnesville Blues,
Capt. McDowell; Lewis A Phillips Guards,
Capt. Kendrick ; and the Hnlloway Grays,
Capt. White: and the question with us will be,
' who will be the other lucky five? We will
j have attached to the Cherokee Artillery, bv
j order of the Secretary of War, 48 horses, one
! 12-pound howitzer, and one rifled cannon, in
! addition to the three 6 pounders we already
have. We are prepared to defend these three
pieces and their appurtenances with five hun
dred good stands of arms, and with the aid of ’
some of Georgia's best and bravest men. We i
expect to be stationed here for some time yet, ;
and I should like, if Georgia is invaded on her J
coast, to be of the number to hasten to her re- i
: lief, and I know of none with stronger arms or :
more willing hearts than Georgians.
j The sickness in our regiments and batallions
is now limited to a few, and the bright sun
shine has infused new life and vigor into our
weary men, who were really getting ill, from
the effects of the wet weather; for it has rain
od every day for the last two weeks.
I meet here occasionally some of the Gate City
Guards on their way to Staunton. I saw Joe
Harrison this morning. He looks very well,
and is anxious to see the Yankees once more ;
but he gives us gloomy accounts of the health
of the boys, who are more or less quite sick.
We are glad to see that the ladies of Atlanta
are providing warm and comfortable clothing
for the soldiers now absent from home. This
is as it should be ; for what we will do for the
article the coming winter, I know not; but we
hope for aid in this truly benevolent act of
Georgia’s daughters. Many of our troops al
ready need clothing, and it is not to be had
here: for Virginia's daughters, although as
kind as it is possible for them to be, have their
own brothers and sous to provide for. We
were singing the favorite ballad of “ Root hog
or die” on Saturday night last, and one of the
men perpetrated the following verse, fell back
in the arms of our drummer, and immediately
exploded, which caused an alarm, and the com
panies all marched out to the tune of “Can
aan,” and joined in the chorus which was be
ing sung over the remains of the unfortunate
youth. The lines are very touching :
“The ladies of Atlanta are all flying round,
Stitching up our garments to make them tight and sound:
Keep your fingers going, and I pledge you we will try
To make the Abolitionists “ Root hog or die.”
Col. Boyd is now nearly well—l judge so, at
least, for I have seen him riding out with Capt.
G. W. Lee, of Pensacola notoriety. The Col. is
a patient man, as well as a soldier. During
my visits to his bedside, I heaid no complaints
of this serious delay, but, on the other hand,
the same manly smile would greet you, and
the voice, as it bade you “ call again,” remind
ed you of the pleasant social gentleman—not
the soldier. His whole soul is awakened to a
lively sense of the responsibility resting on
him in this contest, and I predict for him and
his regiment a page by the future historian
who shall record the gallantry of our brave
men. I have had the pleasure of seeing our
friends Parr and Lee, who are on their way to
Richmond, with their spring lance model.
They astonished the natives here by letting
loose the “infernal machine" before they were
aware of it, and a scatteration was the conse
quence. It is a bad looking concern, and a
thousand men armed with such an instrument
of death would create a stampede worse than
any of those masked batteries. The Secretary
of war thinks very favorably of it, and a regi
ment of men, armed with this weapon, will be
raised forthwith. Success to the inventor.
One hundred and seventy odd wounded and
sick soldiers came from Manassas yesterday,
to take quarters in the numerous splendid hos
pitals that abound iu and arouud Lynchburg,
for every house has more or less sick and
wounded. They have even made their splen
did male college a hospital, and this is the
finest building in the city, with but few excep
tions. This college is of the Methodist faith,
and the majority of the subscription is owned
by Alabamians and Georgians.
A concert was given last week for the bene
fit of the Ladies’ Sewing Society of this place,
and the galaxy of beauty represented on and
off the stage surpassed everything I have ever
seen. The house was crowded to overflowing;
and it will seat comfortably 800 persons— not
excepting crinoline. The singing was superb,
consisting of operatic gems from Norma, La
Fille du Regiment, Ac., besides quartettes, du
etts, solos, and comic songs. I think the ladies
sing with more vim in Virginia than in Geor
gia, owing to the presence of so many soldiers,
and consequently “ who’s afraid ?" The “ Hap
py Land of Canaan ” never had been heard,
and, of course, the hits brought down the
house. Encore after encore was shouted, and
as often repeated, and, since then, I have re
ceived (no lieing, Messrs. Editors) at least 500
applications for a copy, as many invitations to
tea, and sundry boquets, all of which, you
know, must be very grateful to a poor soldier.
The concert is to be repeated this week, and I
pledge you Atlanta shall be well represented.
The particulars I will give you in my next.

able to enter upon the active duties of the sol
