Tua Ciov(.KNMKNr and the Express Company.
—lt is understood that the Government will
fi ud it necessary, and baa taken measures to
employ, to a considerable extent, the Southern
Express Company as an agent for collections
and remittances in the revenue department of
the Government. In order to secure the inte
rest of the Government, we learn that Mr.
Memminger has prescribed and required a
bond, for the faithful performance of these du
ties by the Express Company, in the sum of
one hundred thousand dollars, which has been
promptly given, with approved sureties.—
Richmond Examiner.
Gen. Kirby Smith.
This distinguished officer, who was severely
wounded at the battle of Manassas, has so
far recovered that he is to be married at Lynch
burg, to-night, to a Miss Seddon. So we are
iuformed. He has been at Lynchburg since
he was wounded.
The Yankee Prisoners
Passed through at one o’clock yesterday
without stopping a moment, much to the dis.
appointment of hundreds of persons who bad
gathered at the depot to look at them, having
heard that they were not like folks at all: that
they were naked and hairy all over, and had
had horns hoofs and tails, and all were chain
ed like so many oxen in a stock car. We hope
the next train will atop long enough to allow
ns to examine the hanimals.
The Atlanta Amateurs.
This patriotic and talented musical and com
ical company gave another medley entertain
ment on Monday evening tea crowded house.
The audience was delighted. All was good ;
Speeches, Songs, Tableux, &c., &c. These
•nrertaiomen's are rich and no one can help
•cjoying them in almost every particular. We
veauiro to suggest on« point on which we think
an improvement could be made: Some of the
member* of the company appear a little too
often, and some respond too often to encores
'T the audience, if the frantic storming of
the audience can possibly be appeased other
erwise, we think they should go on with the
programme. These repetitions, even when
earnostly demanded by a pleased audience,
will weary their patience.
Hut an entenaiemoat so full of light and
beaaty, mueie and good cheer should be touch
ed lightly.
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
Scoundrels.
Some few persons are traveling through the
Confederate States, pretending to be agents
of the Government, buying up* all the guns,
blankets, woolen goods and articles suitable
for the army, for the purpose of selling them
to the Government at a large profit. Beware
of such xiljains.

Ladies’ Relief Society.
Atlanta, Sept. 17th, 18G1.
Al the meeting of tbe Society to-day a let
ter of thanks from Capt. Lewis of tbe “ At
lanta Grays” was read ; also a note from Mr.
Barnes, kindly tendering his services, and
those of the “ Amateur Club” to the •• Relief
Society,” for which the ladies voted thanks,
and a desire to have them give a Concert at
their earliest convenience.
The President had a week before given to
the “Lewis and Phillips’ Rifles” 75 pairs of
pants that were finished, as that company
were in need of them, which action was ap
proved of by the “Society.” •
Five large boles have been sent to tbe Geor
gia Hospital at Richmond We have again
the pleasure of acknowledging a box from
Mrs. J. R. Rowland, of Cass county, contain
ing 2 bushels of dried apples, 1 bag of rags,
10 pairs of pants, 10 pairs of drawers, and
10 shirts. We also acknowledge a box, re
ceived some weeks ago, in which was 12 pairs
of pants, 12 pairs of drawers, 12 shirts, 8
pairsof socks, and some cotton thread for
knitting.
Mrs. Atkinson, of Marietta, sent a bag of
Arrow root for Hospital box. Miss Sinclair
contributed $1; Mrs. Ponder, $10; Mrs.
Simmons, $5; Mrs. James Clarke, 5 pairs of
Bocks.
These are hut other manifestations of the
patriotism of our ladies and their interest in
tbe good cause begun. An ample reward for
all toil will be the thought of alleviating the
suffering of some poor soldier, who has sacri
ficed his all for his country’s cause.
SBO.IO was turned over io the Treasurer
from weekly dues and contributions.
Miss Ellen Chisolm and Miss Lizzie Thom
son joined as members.
At the close of tbe meeting, General Ira R.
Foster, by previous invition, addressed tbe
ladies relative to the poor families of our sol
diers, and their need of immediate assistance.
At the close of his remarks the President ap
pointed a committee in each Ward to viail such
and ascertan their actual sufferings
and wants.
The thanks of the Society were voted Gen.
Foster.
Tbe Society then adjourned.

51 SY TELEGRAPH )
FOR THE “ SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. *
Richmond, Sep. 23.—Gen. Lee’s official report
of the plan of operations on Cheat Mountain
was received at the War Department to-day,
from which it appears that the entire plan was
disconcerted from a failure of one of his col
umns to attack the enemies position, which
was defended by an al most impenetrable stock
ade fort. They had been re in forced by threi
Ohio regiments.
The-“ Examiner” of this morning publishes
the following list of c dlectors of the war tax :
for Alabama J. C. Brantly ; Arkansas, Wm.
11. Halliburton ; Florida, E. T. Blackburn;
Georgia, Eoenezer Starnes; Louisiana, Robert
A. Usher; Mississippi, J. A. Handy; North
Carolina, Wm. K. Lane; South Carolina, Wm.
E. Martin; Tennessee, Isaac B. Williams;
Texas, Geo. J. Durham; Virginia, Henry T.
Garnett.
Wilmington, N. C., Sept. 24.—A suspicious
bark baa been off* our coast for several days.
She captured tbe schooner Mary A. Pender, on
Sunday, 20 miles north of this. The captain
and crew of the Pender arrived here in a boat
yesterday. She was returning home from
Charleston with 75 casks of lime for Fort Ma
con. Two pilots are believed to have been de
coyed on board the bark.
Richmond, Sept. 24.—A well informed gen
tlemen, recently from New York, gives it as
his opinion from facts communicated afid well
understood in interested circles there, that the
Yankee proprietors of large and extensive in
terests in Brunswick, Ga , have induced Lin
coin to fit out a large and expensive expedition
with about 20,000 men, to take Brunswick, es
tablish a navy yard, open tbe port for the
shipment of cotton, naval stores, and live oak.
Sagacious men here think there is much rea
son to believe this, as the federal government
is almost wholly controlled by schemers and
speculators.
A lady arrived to-day frem Baltimore says
the “Exchange,” “South” and “Republican,”
in that city, are suppressed, and that the “Sun”
soon will be.
The Peabody Institute is being fitted up as
a prison for secession ladies.
The Central train to-day brought down 40
Yankee prisoners. Nothing new from camps.
The “Examiner” of this morning intimates
that the Cabinet had a long session yesterday on
the policy of pushing the war beyond the lines
ol the Confederate States. It says the Cabinet
was pivided—some preferring the ordering of
the Army into Head Quarters for the winter—
others favored an onward movement.
Mobilb, Sept. 21 —The “Tribune” publish
es a’letter from a Tennessee Congressmen, da
ted Murfreesboro the 20th instant, which says:
“ Whatever the Kentucky Legislature or prom
inent politicians may say and do, we have re
liable information that a large majority of the
bone and sinua—the fighting material of the
State are heartily with tbe South,
A column of Tennessee troops have posses
sion of the Louisville and Nashvile Railroad,
within 40 miles of Louisville, including the
rolling slock and locomotives, and have burn
ed the railroad bridge near Elizabethton.--
They are posted at Muldraugh’s Hill, 40 miles
from Louisville, where the Kentuckians are
rallying and uniting with them in large num
bers.
