TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1861.
The Semi- Weekly Advocate.
At considerably increased expense for paper
and work, we have changed the form of the
Semi-Weekly Advocate, enlarging the size of
the sheet. This renders it necessary to make
a difference in price between the Weekly and
Semi-Weekly. Our rates will be as follows :
Weekly, per annum, $1
Semi-Weekly, “ “ f’P
Those who are disposed to encourage inn
provement in a Marietta paper, will oblige us
by sending us the names of hew subscribers, or
advertisements or job work.
A Prolific Yield.—Mr. D. S. Anderson has
on his plantation, near this place, a young
cow, which has given birth to five calves in
two years. Iler first were twins—a bull and
heifer—one of which he is raising, the other
having been killed for veal. On Thursday she
outstripped herself by giving birth to three
fine heifer calves, all of which are doing well.
The cow is five years old, largo, and of good
stock ; and wc will add, (although we should
charge Mr. Ander-on the price of a good ad
vertisement for doing so,) that she and the
three calves are for sale.
A friend at our elbow suggests that, with the
tiame proportionate increase, the next instalment
of calves will have but one teat each —after
that, it will be “root, little calves, or die.” As
weYre likely to have an army to be supplied
witji beef, a few such cows would be profitable
stock'.

’ American Birds in England.—Eighteen live
Amcrcan partridges, sent by Mr. Canard, of
New York to the English Society of Acclima
tization, have arrived out safely, and arc cared
for by Lord Malmsbury. This nobleman has
also received sixteen live prairie hens, which
he expects will soon become naturalized, and
pfie of these days afford “food for the million.”
Georgia Cannon.—Wc paid a visit on Wed
nesday afternoon, to the foundry of Mr. A. N.
Miller, where we saw what we believe is the
first gun ever cast in our State. The piece is
a twenty-four pound howitzer, and weighs
1,700 pounds. It is beautifully modeled and
highly finished, and is pronounced by military
men a very superior piece of workmanship in
every respect. The iron of which it is cast is
what is called the “ round mountain brand/'
and comes from the mines near Home, Ga. It
is of remarkable fineness, bears a high polish,
and is nearly as malleable as wrought iron.—
This gun is the first of six of the same class
which Mr. Miller is engaged to furnish the
•State. It i* to bo thoroughly tested by the in
spector ■cft'XDrtlhiance.
Mr. Miller is engaged in casting balls and
shell, for which he has a contract for 6,000 of
various sizes, for South Carolina ; he has Also
an nidi mi ted md er for balls and shells from
©ur own State. He iu enlarging his works and
building a large ; air furnace which will enable
him to cast Coiumbiads of the largest calibre.
[Savannah News.
A Navy for tlic Confederate States.
The New York Leader says: “Our enterpris
ing fellow citizen, Aiderman F. 1. A. Boole, has
‘been awarded the contract, being the lowest
bidder, for the construction of the forty gun
scows required by the Southern Confederacy.
These boats are to be seventy feet long by
twenty-two wide and five feet deep, double
planked, and with sides of the regular naval
thickness. Mr. Boole has hired a new ship
building yard at Gieenport, Long Island, close
to the Tenth-street ferry. Each scow is to
mount one central ten-inch pivot gun and
two thirty-four pound carronades. They are
to be anchored at the mouth of the Mississip
pi, and at various exposed points up the liver
—thus guarding alike against attack from the
sea, or a descent from the Northwest States.
M ith their full armament or. board they will
draw thirty-six inches of water, thus presenting
but a very narrow target to the enemy.
‘‘The plan of these boats, as a cheap substU
tute for a Southern navy, is due to Command
er Hartstein, and they are to be completed for
$3,200 each—the armaments to bo furnished
by the Richmond Factory. Twenty of these
scows are to bte delivered on or before the 31st
of next July, and the balance by the end of
October. Three of them arc now in progress,
to be called respectively the South Carolina,
Mississippi and Georgia, and Mr. Boole is con
fident he can easily complete his contract with
in the time specified. There were two ship
builders in this city amongst the bidders, the
bid of one being $3,750 for each scow, and
that of the other $4,200. Commandder llart
stein believes that those vessels, almost wholly
submerged in the water will prove of more
use and receive far less damage than Lieut.
Hamilton’s costly and dangerous iron-plaied
battery.”—t he above is a hoax.
Extracts from Mr. Wigfall’s Speech.
I owe my allegiance —and Senators are not
mistaken about that, for I have said it frequent
ly. —to the State which I here represent. Ido
not owe my allegiance to this Government.
The Senator from Illinois spoke of the necessi
ty of coercing these States, or not entertaining
propositions from them, and likened it the case
of a Government in which there were revolted
provinces. Your President elect, a short time
ago, in a speech, asked the question gravely,
what is the difference between a State and a
county ? And he seemed to be really in quest
of information. Now, 1 was’not astonished at
that, for I did not expect better of him. From
a man who is taken up because he is an ex
rail splitter, an ex-grocery keeper, an ex-flat
boat captain, and an ex-Abolition lecturer, and
is run upon that question, I would not expect
any great information as to the Government
which he was to administer. But I was sur,
prised to hear a Senator—a Senator of educa
tion and ability, such as the Senator from Illi
nois is—compare the States of this Union —
the States that formed this Government —the
States without the consent of which this Gov
ernment could not have had existence, and
without the consent of which this Government
cannot exist a day—Vo hear him talk about those
States as revolted provinces, did surprise and
shock me.
* ft ft ft ft -£
Mr. DOOLITTLE. I think I shall rise to a
question of order. If the Senator from lexas
does not know whether he belongs to this
country or not; if he Is really a foreigner, in
his own estimation, I desire to know whether
he is in order in addressing the Senate oi the
United States. [Laughter.]
Mr. WIGFALL. I think the point is well
taken ; and if the Senator and those who act
with him will acknowledge my State to be out
of the Union, I will take my scat without a
word further. [Laughter.] If they choose to
call my name here, and to call not my name
only, but the names of Senators who have filed
here at your desk certified copies of the ordi
nances of secession of their States, and you
treat them as blank paper, I shall treat them
so too for my purpose. I shall discuss your
Government just as long as you choose to con
sider me a member of itand as long as yon
please to call ir.y name] I may stay here and
vote ; and if I find it convenient to defeat any
of your nominations, I may see fit to do it:
and wlrn you get tired of that game; will
cease calling my name, and acknowledge my
State out of the Union, and then you can get
iid of me. [Laughter.] That is a game two
Mi) plnv nt.
ft ft ft ft ft ft ft
That the people of the North shall consider
themselves as more blessed than wc, more civil
ized and happier, is not a matter at which wc
would complain at all, if they would only con
tent themselves with believing that to be the
fact; but when they come and attempt to pro
pagandize, and insist that we shall be as per
fect as they may imagine themselves to be,
then it is that their good opinion of themselves
becomes offensive to us. Let my neighbor
believe that his wife is an angel and his chil
dren cherubs, I care not, though I may know
he is mistaken; but when he comes imperti
nently poking his nose into my’ door every
morning, and telling me that my wife is a
shrew and my children brats, then the neigh
borhood becomes uncomfortable, and if I can
not remove myself; and if he says to me, “you
shall not move, but you shall, day after day,
hear the demerits of your wife and children
discussed,” then 1 begin to feel a little restive,
and possibly might assert that great original
right of pursuing whatever may conduce to my’
happiness, though it might be kicking him
out Os my door.
ft ft ft * ft ft *
Then, briefly, a party has come into power
that represents the antagonism to my own sec
tion of the country. It represents two million
men who hate us, and who, by their votes for
such a man as they have elected, have commit
ted an overt act of hostility. That they have
done. You have won the Presidency, and you
are now in the situation of the man who had
won the elephant at a raffle. You do not
know what to do with the beast now you have
it; and one half of you to-day woilld give
ycur right arms if you had been defeated.—
But von succeeded, and you have to deal with
facts. Our objection to living in this Union,
and theiefore the difficulty of reconstructing
it, is not your personal liberty bill, not the ter
ritorial question, but that you utterly and
wholly misapprehended the form of government.
You deny the sovereignty of the States; vou
deny the right of self-government in the peo
ple; you insist upon negro equality; your peo
ple interfile with our institution and at
tempt to subvert them; you publish newspa
pers; you deliver lectures; you print pamphlets
and you send them among us, first, to excite
our slaves to insurrection against their masters,
and next, t > array one class of citizens against
the othei: and 1 say to you that we cannot live
in peace, «ither in the Union or out of it, uu
til vou hav. be’ishcd your Abolition societies;
not, as I have been misquoted, abolish or de
stroy your shool houses; but until you have
ceased in your school-house teaching your chil
dren to hate us; until you have ceased to con
vert your pulpits into hustings; until you con
sent vourselvea with preaching Christ, and Him
crucified, and not delivering political harran
gucs on the Sabbath; ufitil you have Ceased
inciting your own citizens to make raids and
commit robberies, until you have done these
things we cannot live in the same Union with
you. Until ydu do these things, wc cannot
live out of the Union at peace.
