SEMI-WEEKLY ADVOCATE.
MARIETTA, GEORGIA.
City Ordinances.—ln our issue of to-day
will be found two Ordinances, recently passed
by our new City Council, of interest to our
citizens.
Still Wanted.—Soldiers are still wanted for
the Georgia Army. We have three of Capt
Magill’s recruits still here, and every day, al
most, brings additions to the number. Mari
etta, it will be i ecollected, has been designated
as a regular recruiting station.
Telegraph Office Removed.—Mr. A l . A.
York, well known to our readers as a telegraph
operator in Marietta, has been appointed to the
charge of the office at this and hah re-,
moved his apparatus and wires to the passen
ger depot. He will occupy the room formerly
used as the Express office.
—■»»
Fire.—The residence of Col. N. I’. Knight,
in Marietta, was consumed by fire on Friday
last, with nearly the wTiole of its contents. —
Col. Knight saved a box of valuable papers, but
lost furniture, books, clothing, Ac. The fire
was accidental, originating from coals scattered
from ashes recently taken out and put in an ex
posed situation.
Reviving.—With the return of Spring, not
withstanding the dullness which reigned thro’-
out the inter, and the prostration of every
industri: 1 interest which was threatened by
the hard times, there has been a most encour
aging revival of business. Our streets begin to
wear a much livelier appearance—our country
friends are profitable frequenters of business
houses—strange faces are occasionally seen, an
indication of the increased number of Summer
sojourners which we confidently hope for—and
all out-doors seems more lively ami cheerful.
liie Effect.—One day this week, a man, in
a light wagon drawn by a fine pair of horses,
anti accompanied by several others, with some
six or eight negroes, passed through our city.
Stopping for a short time, he was intcrogated
as to his residence and destination, to which
be replied that he was froth Cotintv, Ten-
nessee, in the neighborhood of a perfect hot bed
of abolitionists, yclept Union men—that he
was seedling some place in G/orgia, where lie
could purchase a good cotton plantation, or
exchange for it 500 acres of as o-ood land as
• oukl be found in Tennessee. He was deter,
mined, like liiindi td: of olhels, no longer to
live in a State which had disgraced herself as
that State had doin'; in submitting to tlie Ab >-
lition North.
An Incident at the Forts— At an early
hour yesterday moinieg, while the gunners
were firing blank cartridges from the guns of
'.lie Iron Battery at Cumming’s Point, one of
the guns loaded with ball, the iHen hot being
aware of the fact, w«s discharge l . The l.a'l
struck the what sos Fort Sumter, close to the
gate. This, it appears, caused some excite
ment in the garrison of Sumter, for three or
four of the ports frohtibg ( animing’s Point
were soon after tlnown open. No warlike
reply to the unintentional shot was given how
ever, and about two hours afterwards a boat
Was sent over to explain the occurrence to
Major Anderson. The Major received the
message in good pait, and thus the matter
ended, after havii g caused no little talk at the
harbor forts anil in the city.—.l/Dvh’v/,
'I he '1 wo 1 REsibKNTs.—Davis and Lincoln
were both born in Kentucky, in 1808 ami 180!)
respectively : both left their native State in
childhood’s days, one emigiated North the
other South; both served in the Indian wats'of
the West, both commenced their political
careers at the same time, being Presidential
Electors in the election of 1844, Davis for
Folk nnd Lincoln for Clay, both elected to
Congress about the same time, ’45 or ’46, ard
were in the same yeat and itlmdst the same
uay, called to preside Over their respect've
governments—one as President of the United
States, the other President of the Confederate
States of Atheriba. < hie tilt*, robk Upon which
a nation has split, the other the corner stone o

M AstUNoioN, March 11.— Reports continue
to prevail respecting the evacuation of F- it
Siunter. t hey *uay bo true, but it is certain
that the I’li'sident, up to eight o’clock to-night,
has g len no such order. Prominent gentle
men, however, say that they have information
winch satisfies them that such a course will be
ptlt sued from necessity.
l'he commissionets fibtn the Confederate
States did not have an interview with Secreta
ry Sew aid today, but will probably make
their formal demand to morrow for such an
interview. '

Tlie Coast Defences of Georgia.
From the reports in the Savannah papers of
the proceedings of the Convention on Friday
we take the following:
The following resolution was introduced by
Mr. Rice of Cobb —
Resolved, That a committee of seven be ap
pointed to examine into the condition of the
defences of the city of Savannah and its ap
proaches, to inquire what additional defences
(if any) may be necessary’, and to report to
this convention at the earliest possible day.
A member moved its reference to the Com
mittee on Military Affairs, but the President
decided that motion out of order, since Mr.
Ried had moved to take up the resolution as
soon as it had been read by the Secretary.—
The motion to take up was carried, and on
the question of the adoption of the resolution
Mr. Styles objected. If he understood the
action of the Congress at Montgomery, it was
their piovince, and not ours, to interfere now
in matters of this nature, if we acknowledge
the authority of that body; he therefore
moved that the resolution be laid upon the
table.
Mr. Rice thought that be had good and
sufficient reasons which he could give,
why the resolution should pass, but did not
feel inclined to give at present. Ho had
reasons that should be given in secret session,
and thereupon moved that the Convention do
go into secret session.
Mr. Varnadoe moved that as there were
some other matters yet to be acted upon, the
resolution lie upon the table for the present.
A division was called for.
The President stated that the motion to go
into secret session was one of privilege, and
that unless that was withdrawn, the question
to postpone for the present, could not be acted |
upon.
Mr. Dice then withdrew the motion to go
into secret session.
Mr. Alexander, of Upson, stated that the
object of these resolutions, as he understood
them, was one simply of inquiry, to pla e the
Convention in the possession of certain facts,
and if Savannah was found not be in a state
of defence, then those facts’, when ascertained,
might be s nt to the Congress at Montgomery,
or the Secretary of War, and attention invited
to the subject. The report of that committee
of seVch might be considered in ? cret session,
but he could see no valid objection why the
resolution should not paC. He thought that
action in this matter should be had at once, and I
the proper information laid before the Convcn
tion. Troops, it was understood, had been
despatched from New York.undei sealed orders,
ami though there might be no danger still
be thought due caution by no I'ieans uunccces
sary.
Mr". Styles was more convinced than over,
after hearing the remarks of the gentleman,
that it was merely a piece of curiosity on the
part <>f the Convention.
This matter was now the duty us the GovtH**-
merit at .\f oritgoincr v, who hail CUIII |)CtCI)t
Engineeis, men thoroughly acquainted with .
military science, and whose business it was to
make the necc-ss.iry reports, and they were
much more competent to discharge sin li duties • '
tlnin anv committee which could i> : appointed
in this (’onvention. Did any one suppose that
the Government at Montgo.ntrv was igno
rant of the position and state of these fortifica
tions?
If the < ’.invention wanted to show their in
tere.-t and patriotism in this matter, li t them
all gc down in a body. Let. them organize
themselves into a regiment and g-> down to
fight.
Mr. Ri\e admitted it was true, that a Gov
ernment had been formed, but that Govern
ment wits iitill in its incipiency, and as vet
had no money, and so long as that was the
case, he thought it the duty of Georgia to look
to its own protection, until the new Govern
ment con’d raise a revenue. He wished this
coinmil'.ci. a; pdiiitcd so as tb be able to inform
the Government at Montgomery t’ullv.
He felt pertectlv convinced in his own mind
of the necessity, l't;l as he had before said,
pielerreJ giving his reasons in full in secret
session, and he had for that reason ccn.sehted
that the resolution should lie on the table for
the present, in order that the other business of
the morning might be completed.
Mr. Warner understood the object rs ilicse
resolutions to be, to inquire into and report
the condition of the defences ; if so, lie thought
it iiuneecessarv on tli f ' part of the Convulsion
to interfere in the matter. It waswithin the
province, and in fact the duty of the Command
ev-in-Chief of the State, who doubtless under
stood their condition, and who would attend to
it. Such action, therefore, on the part t f the
Convention might be construed as casting an
imputation on the Chief Executive. He knew,
and we all knew, that the Governor would at
tend to his duties promptly, ami In did m t
wish, by implication or otherwise, to do any
thing which could cast such an imputation
Mr. Rice stated that tlie principal object of
this commiitee would be to inquire into the
amount of Money it would or might le necces
sary to raise for the purpose of put g the
State in a position of complete d- ten '. and
that although we all felt that the Executive
discharged his duties w ith abilit’ and I'lelitv,
still weie money neecvssarv. he had n > an
thority to raise it. The legislature would
have to I c convened. .Georgia need n t act
independently of the Gemrai Government, but
such work might be done, and the amount ex
pended considered as a loan to the General
GovertfruvuL
Alabama had already placed at the disposal
of Congress $500,000, and Ge ugia could rd
to do the same. He thought she should do
something for her defence. The Convent >n
representing the people whose agent only the
Governor was, was higher than the Governor,
and could tell the Governor therefore to do
things which he with limited powers could
not do.
Mr. Varnadoe saw no objection to the reso
lution and had therefore moved to lav it on
the tabk for the present, it could be fairly and
freely discussed in secret sessi n.
In secret session the resolution was a ■ tt i •
