More Attempts to do Mischief.
The Richmond Examiner has an “occasion
al correspondent” from this place who writes
over the signature of “Cotton States,” and
who wants a consulate— we suppose.
In that journal of the Sth inst., we find one
of his letters, in which he recommends that
Vice-PresidentStephens gracefully retire from
the office be now so worthily fills, and allow
Hon. J. M. Mason, of Virginia, to be elected
to that position, out of compliment to Virgin
ia, in particular, and the border States in gen
eral. He thinks it is not right for the cotton
States to furnish both President and Vice-Pre
sident of this Government; that such “is nei
ther proper, regular, nor politic."
Os course, this movement must have a self
ish motive. It could not arise out of a desire
for the public weal, or a regard to the Wishes
of the people; for everybody knows that Ste
phens will fill that office as faithfully, accep
tably and with as much ability as any man on
earth possibly can ; and there is not the slight,
est evidence that a human within the limits
of the Confederate States is dissatisfied with
him in the least, except some few who find
his sterling integrity in their way.
'• Cotton States” intimates that it will be
dangerous to the peace and safety of the coun
try for Mr. Stephens to be elected to the office
he now fills. He says :
'• The danger to the South is not to be found
in this war. The peace measures of the South,
the future policy of the South towards the
North, are matters of vital importance, which
should govern our conduct now ; and looking
to the future, and anticipating the inevitable
issues which will arise, we must, in the per
manent organisation of the government, pre
vent the possibility of a sectional element in
tho Confederacy. Therefore, it is not proper
or politic that both President and Vice-Presi
dent should come from the cotton States.”
This extract is about as clear as mud. We
are of opinion that the weather was dry—per
haps other things were much dryer—when
this paragraph was penned. He thinks our
“penes measures,” and the “inevitable is
sues” involved in the “ permanent organiza
tion" are vastly important—more so than the
war we are now in, and that we must “prevent
the possibility of a sectional element.” We
don’t know what he means. What “ sectional
element” can he allude to? Is Mr. Stephens
a sectional element? or is he only a “ section
al element” as Vice-President ? What “peace
measures” will As introduce that will be dan
gerous? “Cotton States” fails to tell.
And then to think of laying on the shelf
the brilliant and gifted Stki'hkns, without a
pear in America, of the most extraordinary
sagacity, correct views and unrivalled states
manship, and whose purity and integrity are
as proverbial as his great name and fame, for
a man who, at most, has but ordinary abili
ties 1
We have no desire on earth to say one word
against Mr. Mason, whom we know to be a
very honest and clever gentleman m his way.
We have nothing against him in the world
f.<r which he is responsible; but since the is
sue is made, and the comparison invited, we
• must say that Mr. Mason is not by any means
equal, in all the qualities of a statesman, to
hundreds of men who can be found year after
year in our Bute Legislatures. While he was
in the U. 8. Senate, he was popularly known
as •* Forcible Fttble.”
The Nashville Patriot of the 11 th inst., in
alluding to this writer, says:
The Bonier States are in no way troubled,
and when they need your intervention in their
behalf they will call for you. We believe
that ninety-tone out of every hundred men in
the Bonier Siatee desire that Mr. Stephens
*”* i?< ’ motioned in the Vice-Presidency;
and if they wished to substitute a Border
State man for him, there are a hundred others
that would bepreferred to Jamas M. Mason,
of N irginia We would not exchange one of
the most brilliant intellects of the South for
the wry Geaita o/ Holiness.
Bat “Cotton States” goes on and asserts that
“ an attempt will be made to drag us back in
to a federated association with the North,"
and that “such an attempt will find a formi
dable nucleus in Georgia.*
Unless the writer himself is in favor of re
couMmetion of the Union—that’s what he
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
means, we take it—we are very sure he does
not know a single man out of whom to make
up this “ formidable nucleus.” He may be in
favor of this movement; but even in that case
his statement is incorrect; for we are very
sure that he is in no wise “ formidable.” There
is nobody else in Georgia in favor of such a
measure, or if there is such a man, he would
not dare to let it be known, even to ‘ Cotton
States,” let alone any one else.
No. In our judgment, the whole of this is
to bring Mr. Stephens into disrepute, and to
flatter Mr. Mason’s vanity and, if possible, to
get him into some place where he will either
have patronage to bestow or have influence
with those who have. This is our belief. We
may be in error. If so, and it is shown us, we
shall most cheerfully make the amende honor
able. We have reasons, however, for our be
lief, which we will now state.
The writer of “ Cotton States” is Charles
G. Baylor, Esq., late Consul to Manchester.--
He is a one-idea man, and without any prac
tical views on that one idea. He is afflicted
with a free-direct-trade mania, and interested
in some Belgian Trade scheme—all very well
in the bands of practical men ; but such we
do not believe Mr. Baylor to be, and we are
not singular in this view. And especially is
he unfortunate, and even mischievous in all
his views, and all that he writes on the sub
ject of politics. We have been informed, and
believe, that he is the author of those exceed
ingly indiscrete, objectionable, mischievous
and flagitious articles which lately appeared
in the Intelligencer, in which the best men in
Georgia or the South were denounced as neu
tral Yankees, and in which a wholesale and
indiscriminate abuse of all persons born north
of Mason <fc Dixon’s line was freely indulged ;
and we here charge it upon him.
Mr. Stephens has never given him the en
couragement in his free trade and direct trade
schemes that he thought himself entitled to—
not that Mr. Stephens was opposed to such
measures, but from a want of confidence in
Mr. Baylor as a practicable man.
Mr. Mason was Chairman of tbe Committee
on Foreign Relations in the U. S. Senate.—
We think it is highly probable that he, lacking
Mr. Stephens’ sagacity, penetration, Ac., has
been captivated with Mr. Baylor’s “gift of
gab” and clattering recital of his routine on
his one idea; and on that account may have
helped Mr. Baylor to his several consulates,
with all his ability, and would m>st likely do
so again, were he in a position like that of
Vice President.
This, we take it, is the whole secret ot the
attempt to lay Mr. Stephens on the shelf.
Thus, a man who is without a legal resi
dence among us—who has been a roving cos
mopolite for years past—a mere adventurer
then and now—essays, for a selfish purpose,
to put down one of the best men in the Re
public, and to elevate in his stead one who,
to say the least, would not be useful or reflect
high credit upon the sphere, were he so eleva
ted.
We think Mr. Baylor had better let politics
alone hereafter. Let him stick to his one idea
and make the most of it; but as a friend we
would advise him to let the people of Georgia
and the Confederate States first move in the
putting down of Mr. Stephens, when they de
sire to do so. Modesty, if nothing else, ought
to suggest to him to keep his hands out of such
matters, at least, until he acquires a residence
among us and becomes one of us. This is our
judgment.
Our Trip to Milledgeville.
Leaving here on Tuesday morning last, by
the Macon and Western train, we reached Ma
con at 5 P. M., where we remained till 10,
when a special train carried us to Milledge
ville, arriving at one next morning. We found
the railroads over which we passed in good
condition, and the conductorsail polite and at
tentive. It is a real pleasure, while traveling,
to find on the cars thoughtful, pleasant and
accommodating conductors; and quite vexa
tious to find them otherwise. The officers of
the roads from here to Milledgeville deserve
credit for having the right sort of conductors
on them.
A few hours sleep—say from two o’clock till
six—and we were aroused to breakfast, after
which we were on the qui vive for dots. We
soon found a much larger delegation, repre
senting a larger number of counties, than we
expected ; and a finer looking body of men we
never saw on any similar occasion.
The claims and prospects of the men who
were the most prominent for the nomination
were freely discussed. There were three of
them, viz: Martin J. Crawford, Eugenius A.
Nisbet, and J. E. Ward. We were not long in
finding that Crawford was the choice of a large
majority, and would have received the nomi
nation, bad not tbe Muscogee delegation come
in and announced, by authority, that the
Judge, within a few days past, had been pre
vailed on to become a candidate for Congress.
The people whom he has so faithfully and ably
represented in both the Federal and Confeder
ate Congress, would not consent for him to re
tire from that responsible post—though he had
designed to do so, as was well known. The
friends of Mr. Ward were devoted to him,
and anxious for the nomination of this able
and distinguished statesman and patriot; but,
after canvassing around, it became evident to
them, that those who preferred Mr. Nisbet
were largely in the majority, and they cheer
fully yielded their preferences. It was, by far,
the most harmonious and unselfish Conven
tion that has ever been held in Georgia.—
Though some may have been disappointed,
nobody left there with heart-burnings; for
there was no ground of complaint towards any
one. It was managed fairly and was a fair
expression of the sentiment of the aas mbl age.
They disposed of their business quite rap
idly and adjourned by four o’clock. Their
whole sitting did not amount to more than three
hours.
That night a train left for Macon ; but, as it
would proceed no further, and as the morning
train was due at Macon in time to connect
with the Macon A Western train to this city,
we concluded to stay where we were, and get
a good night’s reek The next morning, at
six o dock, we took the train, and came to
Gordonsville. Our disappointment there was
great, on finding that the Central Railroad
train had failed to come along in due
time. The night before, a bull had boldly con
fronted the up train, U( j thrown it off the
track, doing considerable damage, and block
ing the road—though no lives were lost—save
the life of tbe bull. When we heard of his
daring and successful feat, we could but ad
mire his courage, but condemned his pru
dence.
There we were delayed till 12 o’clock, when
we should have reached Macon at 10, in order
to make the connection to reach Atlanta in tbe
afternoon train. We tried to get the conduct
or on the train to bring us on to Macon, but he
had no authority to do so, and would not vio
late orders—which was right. How unhappi
ly, and in what moody silence, we spent those
five lengthened hours! We strolled around,
but could find no object of interest. We tried
to chat with the passengers who were there,
like ourself, anxious to be somewhere—almost
anywhere else; but the effort was forced and
unsatisfactory, and no one enjoyed it. At
length, the train came along, having run the
blockade made by the intrepid bull, the night
before, and we reached Macon a little after 1
o’clock. But what then was to bo done ? The
morning train had been gone over three hours.
We hoped there would be a freight train com
ing out, which we could get ou, and thus ex
pedite our journey home; but, on inquiry, we
found there was none There wa were, some
20 or 30 passengers “ like a hen on a hot hoe,”
with anxiety to get home. And, as for our
self, we had our pockets full of the proceed
ings the Convention, which we wanted to have
in our columns as soon as possible, but no pros
pect of doing so until it would be old stale
news. Our feelings may be imagined, but can
not be described.
The situation of the passengers was. howev
er, soon made known to Mr. Alfred L. Tyler,
the accomplished and gentlemanly Superin
tendent of the Macon A Western Road, who
magnanimously tendered us an extra train at
5 o’clock. This was joyful to the hearts of all,
and none but those who have been similarly
blockaded can imagine our feelings. Mr. Ty
ler’s kindness on this occasion will be long
and gratefully remembered by everybody who
came on that train.
As soon as dinner was over, we accompanied
Mr. Tyler through the extensive machine
shops of the Macon A Western Railroad, where
all kinds of work necessary to equipping and
keeping in thorough repair the entire road was
going on. The manufacture of cars, engines,
and car wheels, in fact, everything needed on
the road, is done in their shop. It is complete
in all its appointments, and our inspection of
it was oue of the most agreeable two hours’
pastime we have spent in many a day.
At length, 5 o’clock came Our train came
up to the depot, and we embarked with joyful
hearts. Mr. Day, the principal book-keeper of
the Superintendent’s office, came a’ong and
acted as conductor. We were soon underway,
aod had a pleasant ride, at the rate of 25
miles per hour, in the cool of the eveniug and
night.
When we reached Griffin, the polite and
thoughtful conductor, Mr. Day, proposed to the
passengers to telegraph to this place, and have
supper ready. It was agreed to by all; and,
as soon as we arrived, we found a most eicel
lent repast prepared, ready for us, at the At
lanta Hotel. Dr. Thompson was on hand, with
his usual courteousness, and affabilities, and
pleasantries. The good cheer of his hospitable
board, and his accommodating spirit, are fa
mous, and justly deserved.
Just before the train arrived at this place, all
on board were gathered together, and a vote
of thanks to the worthy Superintendent of the
road, for sending us on an extra train, was
unanimously and enthusiastically passed ; and
also a unanimous request that we publish this
fact in our paper, which we now do with great
pleasure. Truly, it is seldom that travelers
are placed under greater obligations to the
managers of a Railroad, and seldom that such
a kindness can be more heartily appreciated.

LEAVING HOME FIGHT EXPECTED ACTIV
ITY IN THE ARMY THE FIFTEENTH REG-
IM ENT OUR CORRESPONDENT “ A.”
THE “ CONFEDERACY” WANTED DIFFI-
CULTY OF GETTING PAPERS, AC., AC.
Camp Walker, Army of the Potomac, I
September 9,18(51. )’
Messrs. Editors; Last week when I left your
State, I expected that a great battle would have
been fought somewhere on the Potomac before
this time; and have no doubt that you are daily
expecting to get stirring news from this division
of the army. You may or may not be disap
appoiuted in such expectations. During the
time I have been in Virginia, I have observed a
remarkable activity in the portion of the army
East of the mountains. All the railroads in this
portion of the State, are actively engaged in
transporting artillery and large numbers of sol
diers in some direction or other; and untold
numbers of cavalry are circulating everywhere
throughout that part of the State bordering on
the Potomac. Our skirmishers are frequently
inside of the picket-guard of the enemy, and
more or less prisoners are brought off every day.
Among the localities of interest which I have
passed through, are Manassas Junction, Centre
ville and the battlefield of the 18th July.
The entrenchments which extend about seven
miles along Bull Run, and the numerous marks
of minnie balls in the neighboring woods, will
point out the locality of the great battles lately
fought to generations yet unborn.
The 15th Georgia Regiment is at present in
the midst of officials of a high rank, who have
gained the admiration of the South; but among
them all I have not met with one upon whom I
looked with more interest and pleasure, than
your famous correspondent “A.,” whoaccasion
ally makes his appearance in our camps and
spends a few moments with those of his relatives
and special friends who are with us.
We feel a great anxiety to see the “ Confeder
acy” in the camps—perhaps as much as you do
to get news from the army; but we have no hope
of seeing it unless you can send us a few num
bers by some soldier who may chance to leave
Atlanta for this part of the country. A few old
numbers would be read with interest. I have :
been informed that the Post-Master at Manassas I
says that he pays no attention to newspapers in
the mail; but if he does not, somebody else
does, for they are faithfully attended to before I
they ever reach our camp. A number of sub
scribers here have not received a paper in two
months. We have to endure many privations
here, of which we cannot complain; but this
thing of our newspapers being stolen ou the \
rout, as well as many other impositions which
are practiced upon soldiers, are more and worse
than freemen ought to endure. ELBERT.
Written the “ Southern Confederacy.”
Twilight.
Out in the twilight’s soft gleaming,
Watching the dreamy clouds float;
Watching the clouds rosy purple,
Out with my own quiet thought.
Look 1 ’tis a star softly twinkles,
Up in the pure azure sky;
Ah! but a dark cloud has darkened
The star, as it slowly floats by.
Again it is beaming more brightly—
That light cloud has wandered away,
The star on its mission is wending,
And beauty gleams out in each ray.
List I 'tis the mocking bird’s carol,
Down in the deep, shady grove,
Warbling in sweet heavenly melody
Over the lay of his love.
But darkness is stealing around me ;
The light of the day is all gone;
The mocking bird’s song is now over,
And I’m out in the dark all alone.

The Cherokee Indians—Their Regiment.
We have been favored with the following
letter, which we take pleasure in lying before
our readess. It is gratifying to see the whole
South united in sentiment regardless of race.
The Cherokees are a warlike people ; and
Kansas Jawhawkers and Abolitionists will be
made to feel their vengeance for aggression,
which they have been committing for a series
of years under the protection of the Federal
Government :
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, 1
Park Hill, C. N. Aug. 24, 1861. J
Maj. G. W, Clarke, A. Q. M., C. 8. A :
Sir : I herewith forward to your care dis
patches for General McCullough, C. 8. A.,
which I have the honor to request you will
cause to be forwarded to him by the earliest
express.
At a mass meeting of about four thousand
Cherokees at Tanlequah. on the 21st inst., the
Cherokees, with marked unanimity declared
their adherence to the Confederate States, and
have given their authorities power to negoti
ate an alliance with them. In view of this
action, a regiment of mounted men will be
immediately i aised and placed under command
of Col. John Drew, to meet any emergency
that may arise. The dispatches of Gen. Mc-
Cullough, relate to these subjects, and con
tains a tender from Col. Drew of his regiment,
for service on our Northern border.
Having espoused tbe cause of the Confed
erate States, we hope to render efficient ser
vice in the protracted war which now threat
ens the country, and to be treated with a
liberality and confidence becoming the Con
federate States.
I have the honor to be, sir,
Very respect’lo your ob’t bumble serv’t,
JOHN ROSS.
Why Gen. Polk Occupied Hichiuau.
Gen. Polk, the commander of tbe Confed
erate forces, occupied Hickman, Ky., because
he was informed that if he did not do so, the
Federal troeps would iu a few days. He had
this information from the most reliable private
sources. The information has been since con
firmed by the testimony of the enemy, us tbe
following from the Cairo correspondence of
the New York Herald, of the 2nd of this
mouth will show. It will be remembered
that Gen. Polk’s occupation of Hickman oc
curred four days after the date of this letter.
The italics of the letter are those of the He
rald. It rubs thus:
This morning the gunboats shot off down
the river on another of those mysterious pere
grinations so usual of; late, but where they
have gone or ou what errand of mercy I am
not supposed to know ; but as the G. W. Gra
ham soon after steamed up, took Col. McAr
thar’s regiment, and went off in|thesame/lirec
tion. I should not wonder if ere now the “sa
cred soil” in the vicinity of Columbus had
been “invaded” again. This neutrality dodge
is about played out, and the sooner the farce
is ended the better. You may expect every
day to hear that both Paducah and Columbus
have been occupied by Federal troops, for I
do know from the very best authority, that the
entire Congressional delegation from Kentucky
with the exception of Breckinridge and Bur
nett, hare united in a request to President Lin
coln to more all the force into that State .which
may be necessary to protect and maintain ihe
supremacy of the laws. This is no guess Work,
I have it from two gentlemen high in nation
al honor, and thoroughly acquainted with the
plans of the administration. One of them is
a member of Congress, and the other has been
and now holds an important official position,
where he cannot but know what he says.—

Arrests In East Tennessee.
We learn from a gentleman dir-ct from
East Tennessee, that Cap: Wm. Fry, of the
4th East Tennessee Regiment, has taken thir
ty-nine pr.soners amongst the Union men of
Green county. Twenty-nine of them took
the oath of allegiance and ton were sent to
General Zollicofier, at Knoxville. The ma
jority of the prisoners were taken on Camp
Creek in Greene. Monday, whilst attempting
to make an arrest, one of Capt. Fry’s men was
shot and instantly killed. These arrests com
menced on the Bih and continued through
Wednesday, the 11th. It was expected that
a body of Unionist, some 200 strong on Cedar
Creek, would be surrounded and captured on
Thursday, by a portion of the 1-lth Mississip
pi and a portion of the 4th Tennessee Regi
ments, as they bad orders and marched the
previous night. The Unionists appear to be
under the command of Colonel David Fry, of
Greene. All tbe prisoners taken were under
arms and preparing to march the first oppor
tunity to join the Lincoln forces in Kentucky.

A Simple Salve for Soldiers’ Feet ih
Marching —Tbe Scientific American has re
ceived the following receipt for making an ex
cellent composition for annointing the feet of
soldiers during long maebing: Take equal
parts of gum camphor, olive oil and pure bees
wax, and mix them together warm until they
are united and become a salve. At night wash
the feet well, dry them, and apply this salve
and put on clean stockings and sleep with
them on. Next day the feet will be in excel
lent trim for marching.

whose arrest on suspicion ot being a Federal
B Py we chronicled a few days ago, has been

NO LABOR NOR EXPENSE ~
will be withheld that will add to the attractive •
ness and interest of our paper. To reimburse
us for the heavy expenses we have incurred—
not simply the ordinary expenses of publishing
a paper, but for our correspondence and tel.
egrapbs, we must rely in a great measure upon
receipts from subscriptions. We ask our friends
everywhere to assist us in getting subscribers.
Every man who takes our paper, so far as we
know, is pleased with it. We feel very sure
that we have not a single subscriber that could
not at least send us one more with but little ef
fort, while many could send us a dozen or more.
Let every friend be assured that with the in
crease of our circulation, our ability to make a
better paper will be greatly enhanced, and such
means shall be used to the best advantage. We
hope those who have subscribed for our Dally
for a short time, will renew their subscriptions
and
Go it for the Whole Year.
It will benefit us more, and save considerable
trouble in erasing and re-writing names on our
mail book.
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.
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.
