SEMI-WEEKLY ADVOCATE. MABIETTA)--—---feEORfilA. —— ————— 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. SPECIAL NOTICES. Notice. KENNESAW LODGE, Marietta, Ga., Feb. 1, 1861. Take notice that Geo. W.
