fduthern City SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1861. Red Mark Again. W e are sending out to all our daily subscri bers, whose time expires before the Ist No vember a back number of our paper, with a < rc«j mark, and the day on which their sub scription terminates, entered on the margin us the paper with a rcrf pencil. Let al) who wish to continue renew in time. We cannot send out our paper without the money in advance advertising is almost nominal, and we live and are able to publish our paper almost from subscriptions alone. \ud let all who can, send us $-5 in advance for a year's subscription. It will cost them less and be of very great advantage to us.— The time and labor of re entering monthly subscriptions is a daily tax on us, while some other portion of our business is suffering for want of our attention. ♦ To Correspondents. A few words to those who write articles which they wish to appear in our columns ; If you write anything of local interest only, let it be very short; we cannot spare the space in our paper and pay our printers for setting up a long article, when we know that only a few of our readers will take any interest in it. When you write anything of general inter est, make it as short as possible. Strike out all amplifications. Don’t hang on and hang on, and spin it out and spin it out, but gather up your burning thoughts into a focus, and give the strong points in a few words. Don’t send us a long article. If you are going to become offended, if we decline to publish your communication, don’t it to us. We don’t want to offend you, and we had rather take the chances of miss ing a good article than of giving offense. Don’t ask us to return your communication if it is rejected. Save the five cent piece you would enclose for us to prepay postage on re turning it. If you have any doubt about our publishing it, keep a copy. We positively have not lime to return articles we decline to publish. We receive a large number of attempts at poetry Nine-tenths of these we decline.— Very few persons who attempt to write poetry can he convinced that their productions are sorry. Let all your first attempts at poetry be submitted to some one of well-known scholarship and literary attainments, before offering them to the press. ts A Proposition. Wa want each and every one of our numer als subscribers to consider him or herself our agent to procure one more subscriber at least —we care not how many more. Let each pro cure and send us one. This will be easily L-ne—will cost each one but little trouble, and be of great benefit to us, in the aggregate. Advertising patronage is almost nominal, and we have no Government or other special patronage to sustain us. Our enterprize is standing on its own merits, and we are spend ing every dollar of our profits to increase the usefulness and interest of our paper. Other papers in Georgia have raised their price and reduced their size to suit the bard times. This we have not done, and hope we shall not be compelled to do. We are doing the best we can for our readers, and, therefore, we the more confidently appeal to them to assist us by extending the circulation of the “Confed eracy. Let our circulation be doubled. This will greatly enhance our facilities for improv ing our paper. More About that Stabbing Affray. We are informed that the fray between Thurman and Ennis did not take place at a drinking saloon, but in front of the grocery store of Mr. B. Kane, on Marietta street. It appears they’both came into Kane’s store drunk, and commenced their fuss, when he thrust them out, and the fight took place on the street. We spoke of it as having occurred at a “ drinking establishment,” or “doggery,” and so we wetfi-informed. Mr. Kane does not keep an establishment of that kind, and we think it is proper that the fact should be known, to relieve him from any wrong impressions that might be drawn by those who do not know. A Concert at Decatur. A fine Concert is coming of! in Decatur. The ladies of that village will be assisted by Barnes and Hanlon. A lot of those who love a trip out from the city, and love to aid a good cause, can go down from here and come back on the train at 12 o’clock. See advertisement. — • ♦ ♦ - Senators Elect. 1.

Richmond, Oct. 18th.—A letter from Secre tary Afemtuinger addressed to the receivers of subscriptions to the Produce Loan, appears in tbe “ Enquirer” this morning He advises the Commissioners to continue their efforts to increase the loan, notwithstanding the block ade. He says the government'has no control over the produce itself and does not regulate tbe time of its sale or tbe price at which it should be sold ; that the subscription is cofined to the proceeds of sales, and contains an order on the commission merchant or factor of the planter, to pay over to the Confederate govern ment, the amount subscribed, in exchange for Confederate bonds. He says, further, that it is to the interest, of both the Government and the planter to wait, until a good price can be obtained, and that the Government will readily consent to g post ponment of the sale to get good prices. Ke then devotes the larger portion of hie letter to the inquiry that is now so often made, about the Government extending material aid to the planter, while the blockade lasts and the cotton can be sold, lie says no power is granted to any Department io lend money for the relief of any interest. What Congress may do he is unable to state. There was heavy skirmishing on the Poto mac yesterday near Herper’s Ferry, and also near Evansport. The particulars have only partially transpired. Passengers by qbie afternoon's cars state, that Col. Ashby’s cavalry engaged the enemy Leesburg and HarpeUs Ferry, killing 6C and taking 15 prisoners. The Confederate loss was one killed and one wounded. It is reported that a large federal fleet from Fortress Monroe is lying below Evansport un. able to pass the Confederate batteries up to Washington- The Potomac is believed to be blockaded at last.

The Paris Constitutionnel asserts that the regulations relating to tbe interference with Mexico had reached no definite result, aud that no convention between France and Spain had been drawn up.
