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 a new Republic.— Montgomery Mail. 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.
