TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1861.
Accepted.
f Judge Nisbet accepts the nomination.
Resigned.
We learn that Dr. John W. Lewis, Superin
tendent of the State Road, has resigned, to take
effect at an early day.
——
Gen. A. S. Johnston.
This accomplished commander has been as
signed the Department of the West. He passed
through Knoxville on the way to his post of duty
on the 13th instant.
r ~
Wm. H. Clayton.
We gave the name of this gallant young man,
in our Saturday’s issue, as Geo. A. Clayton, and
we gave the name of his father as Wm. M. in
stead of Wm. W. Clayton. We regret these er
-rors, and take this opportunity to correct them.
We learn that young Clayton fought heroical
ly and rendered effective service at Manassas on
the 21st July. He was within twenty paces of
Eartow when he fell. Soon after the battle he
was severely attacked with Typhoid Fever, with
which he has been dangerously ill for a long
time, but is now slowly recovering.

Gone to the Hospital.
0 n Friday night last two ladies from this place
—Mrs. Hiram Jones and Mrs. Bryan went to
Richmond as nurses in the Georgia Hospital—
God bless the ladies who are always ready with
willing hearts and hands in every good work.
Skirmish at Pensacola.
We have before us the Pensacola Observer of
the 14th instant, from which we learn that a
skirmish took place that morning between some
fifteen men on the Harbor Police boat Wm. 11.
Judah, under command of Lieut. McWright, and
, a party of Federals numbering fifty or more,
which came over in launches from Fort Pick
ens.
It is stated that the Federals came upon the
Judah unawares, and were under the guns of
that vessel and of the battery, before it was
known —so that the guns were utterly useless in
the fight. The enemy threw tarred fireballs and
"TSfiEr tfiUSUlHiable matter all over the deck of
the schooner, which was soon in flames. The
launches proceeded to the side of the schooner
*and some of them boarded her; but the few
men on board fought most gallantly and drove
them off killing some six or eight and wound
ing quite a number. Only one of our men was
wounded —slightly in the leg—and none killed.
The schooner was lying at her moorings in
the basin at the Navy Yard when attacked. She
was burned, and is a total loss.
That was a daring act on the part of the ene
my ; but it seems to us somebody was not watch
ing, or they could not have approached and got
under onr guns before It was known.
Not Exactly Right.
At ilia Convention at Milledgeville, we
made a report of Judge Hammond's address
on taking the claim as President of the body.
The Secretary of the Convention, as well as
the editors of the Savannah and Milledgeville
papers applied to us for copies of the speech
as reported |by us, which we allowed them
to take. They all promised to give us
credit for the report in their several journals,
when the proceedings appeared, but have fail
ed to do so—failed after applying to us for
the favor and making the promise. We allow
ed the editor of the Savannah ‘News’ to take
a copy of our entire report of the proceedings.
This, as well as furnishing copies of Judge
Hammond’s address, was at considerable in'
convenience to us. We very cheerfully how
ever, submitted to it, in a spirit of accommo
dation—expecting proper acknowledgement ;
indeed, it was promuerf, but has not been per
formed.
[Communicated.]
The Winter Campaign.
A recent number of a New York literary
and pictorial paper, in a complimentary no
tice es Fremont’s atrocious proclamation, de
clares that, if it be necessary to the triumph
of their cause, the North will demand the/ree
dom of every Southern slave, and the sacking of
every Southern home. Innumerable similar ex
tracts from Northern papers confirm what has
long boon believed, that the ruin inflicted up
on the South will only be limited by the ca
pacity of the enemy to inflict it; and we now
begin to realize that their capacity to injure
us is gauged by our power of defence.
Both sections, by common consent, expect
the coming winter a vigorous campaign, with
a tremenduous force upon our Southern coast,
and among our Southern homes.
A recent act of Congress authorises the or
ganisation of a special force for coast defence,
and many of our citizens contemplate going
into service under that act. For the purpose
of determining upon the propriety of organiz
ing a force for this service, a meeting will be
hold in the Athemeum, on to-night, at gas
light.
All of our young men, and others willing to
eogage in this service, are earnestly invited to
be present.

Who Wants to Go to the War!
A Regiment is now nearly formed and ren
dezvousing at Augusta. Five companies are
already there. Three more companies are en
gaged, and two more companies are wanted.
This Regiment is raised under the authority
of the Confederate Government, by which it
will be armed. The Regiment will be ordered
into service as soon as two more companies
are received.
John B. Campbell will be Colonel, and Dan
iel Kirkpatrick Lieutenant-Colonel. They are
both brave and worthy men and good officers,
who have experience in war, having served
through the whole Mexican campaign. No
Regiment is likely to have better officers.
Colonel Kirkpatrick will be at the Atlanta
Hotel for two days. Let those who wish to
join the Regiment report to him. We can free
ly vouch for the courage and ability of both
these men. Join them, if you want to get into
a good Regiment and see early service.
War! War!
The Companies tendered to the Confederate
Regiment of Col. J. W. H. Underwood having
failed to rendezvous at the time appointed,
will now enter camps one at a time as they
get ready, and will be put in drill and mus
tered in as they arrive.
All expenses will be paid by the Confeder
ate Government after their arrival at Griffin,
Georgia, and Conductors on Rail Roads will
charge the transportation to the Government.
Arms will be furnished at an early date,
and full companies who choose to vote for the
gentlemen who hold the orders and instructions
of the War Department, will be received as
fast as they come. If.

SErTBMBBit 7lh, 1861.
The undersigned have just returned from
the Seat of War, for the purpose of aiding in
the coast defence during the winter. We pro
pose to raise a regiment for that purpose,
should we be needed; and, if not needed on
the coast, for such field of action as the pub
lie exigencies may demand.
Companies wishing to join this regiment,
will make application to the undersigned at
once, as the regiment wil' be organized at an
early day. R. J. COWART,

It has been suggested that, in electing can
didates for public offices, the people of the
Confederate States should ignore party pre
dilections entirely, and choose only such men
as are remarkable for pobity of character, in
i tegrity, of purpose and firmness of action.—
i We hail the sement as a noble one, worthy of
I being inaugurated with the new order of
i things in the Southern Confederacy. Will the

let them show their faith by their works and
elect Judge N’.sbet to the office of Governor.—

The California goes to Mobile on Tuesday

I Mobile will not be cut off while the troops re
main at Ship Island.
Good Tidings.
We are truly gratified to learn that the Po
tomac has been effectually closed by powerful
batteries, and the avenue to Washington put
under strict blockade. The reason for not
doing this at an earlier period, says the Ex
aminer, was simply that we had no available
force sufficient to protect our works, which
would be likely to encounter such a formid
able movement on the part of the enmy to de*
stroy. The Potomac has now been shut up,
and a force is there ample to defend our bat
teries and defy all comers. The river is no lon
ger navigable to Lincoln’s craft. Those that
try it hereafter are apt to be sunk and have
their crew and passengers despatched to “Da
vy Jones’ Locker.”

A Wasted Opportunity.—ls Jeff Davis h-d
been a General he would have followed our
panic stricken troops with his overwhelming
force to Washington, and captured it. That
he did not, shows that he lacks the nerve to
take advantage of great opportunities. But
few such occasions can occur in the world’s
history. Here was a chance to make a hero,
but the man was not there to take it. Such
an oppartunity as that wasted, may well sting
a man’s remembrance for the balance of his
life. It must be put down as the greatest op
portunity that has been lost since the neglect
of Hannibal to march on Rome when it was
in his power.— Cincinnati Gazette, Ifith July.
The Quebec Mercury says the object
of the British fleet in going South is the gen
eral one of protecting British interests, and
to demand that free acces shall be had to the
important Southern ports so long as they are
not blockaded in a manner deemed legal by
international law.
