MARIETTA, .... MARCH 28.
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 50
SemiAVeckly, “ 2 00
Those who are disposed to encourage iim
provement in a Marietta paper, will oblige us
by sending us the names of new subscribers, or
advertisements or job work.
SMT The trial of Thompson Moose, charged
with the murder of Abraham Hilton, occupied
nearly the whole of Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Jury brought in last night between nine
and ten o’clock, a verdict of Not Guilty.
The Capital.
In another column we publish the article
from the Savannah News in relation to the ad
vantages of Marietta as a location for the Cap
ital of the Confederate Stat s. If it is to be in
a freestone region, combining the advantages of
health and gool water, it will not be far from
Marietta. Few arc aware of the large scope
of beautiful country in the vicinity of Marietta,
comparatively level or gently undulating. A
full examination will prove the very great ad
vantages that arc here combined.
That there may be on our part, no appear
ance of festering an “irrepressible conflict” with
our neighbors and sister city, we say, as we
have said before through the Advocate that At
lanta is our second choice, Marietta being our
first.

Cobb Superior Court.
The Superior Court for Cobb county, having
been adjourned from last week to the present,
as Judge Rice was in attendance as a member
of the State Convention in Savannah, has been
engaged for most of the time, upon the Crim
inal docket. But for the adjournment, this
would have been the second week of the term,
and set apart by law for the trial of those
cases. The Solicitor General has had a num
ber of bonds for appearance forfeited. Conse
quently not a large number of cases have been
tried.
It is a matter of general remark, that in the
enforcement of the law for the punishment of
criminals, Judge Rice is patient, inflexible and
indefatigable. This is the main business, un
questionably, of Courts of Justice. For, how
ever important may be the interests involved
in other classes of cases coming up for adjudi
cation, in them every man has it in his power
to protect himself in a very great measure. — |
And if our Courts will promptly, and with a
reasonable degree of certainty, convict and
punish for offences of violence and fraud
against pets >n or property, the ends of justice J
are to a good degree accomplished in the pro
tection ol individual rights. Other cases may ,
at least better admit of delay , without great ■
prejudice to the well being of communitv.
Judge Rice has announced that he will pro
bablv hold an adjourned tetin for the comple
tion of the business of the Court. The Grand
Jury has been engaged closely and laboriously
in the consideration of the business presented,
and a great deal of work lias been accomplish
ed. Judge Rice will, next week, hold an ad
journed term of Court in Lumpkin county.
Floyd llonokably Acquitted.—The two in*
dictments against ex-Secreta' v Floyd, in the
Washington City Court, have been dismissed
as untenable. ’Hie first was for conspiring to
defraud the Government. T1 e Distiict Attor
ney stated in open court, that there was no ev
idence to sustain the charge, and with the leave
of the court, he entered a n die prosepti. The
RCCond was for malfeasance in office, in issuing
acceptances. The indictment was ordeied to
be quashed, as it could not have been main
tained.
Washington, March 26. -In the Senate to
day Mr. Duglas’ resolution was tabled by a
vote of 23 ayes to 11 nays.
A resolution was subsequently i tr< ducc.l.
recommending the removal of all United
States troop* from every’ portion of the sece
ded States, and also instructing the I’ies dent
to abstain from attempts to collect the revenue
at the ports of the Confederate State*
Senator Wigfall, left here for Charleston to
day.
Foi several weeks, rumors have prevailed,
that Unionists, in *ome of the seceded States in
tended to apply to Lincoln for Judicial appo int
ment® therein. These rumors were conhimed
in part by the nomination of George n. Lane,
as Judge of the Northern and Southern Iks
tncts of Alabama.
Jambs Watson Wkbb, of the New York
Cou»»<r and Is. >ui er, declines the mission
to Constantinople, offered him by Lincoln. —
lie probably wantad something better.
TSie Morrill TarifT.
The N. Y. Correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury says :
The Morrill tariff would, of iise’f, have been
a just cause of revolution at the South. It is
an atrocious robbery of the community for the
benefit of the iron interest in Pennsylvania and
the manufacturers of the Eastern States. One
example will suffice to show how it operates
against the poor. Upon the negro blanket
worth $2, and weighing eight pounds, there is
a duty of twelve cents per pound, or sl, besides
twenty-five per cent. Upon the finest English
Whitney blanket, costing from sl2 to sls, there
is the same duty. The reason is, that the fine
blanket is not manufactured in New England,
but the coarse one is in immense quantity.—
The duty is prohibitory, apd the same may
be said of carpets and all heavy woolen clo
thing. It is a bonus given to tlie Abolition
manufacturers who supplied the sinews of war
to carry Lincoln’s election. The old proverb
that the gods drive mad those whom they in
tend to destroy, was never more fully realized
than in the adoption of ibis tai iff at the pres
ent moment.
The Tribune endeavors to turn the edge of
the denunciation of the Morrill Tariff by the
Pai ■is Moniteur. It pretends that the transla
tion which the New York papers published is
not correct, though it was made by English
journals, and it then gives a translation of its
own which is far from correct, while it docs
not substantially change the meaning of the
French Emperor’s organ. None but blind fan
atics here entertain any doubt now that the
independence of the Confederate States will be
recognized by France and England.
Gov. Browa s«bs<l <2»e Guns again.
We publish to-day a telegraphic dispatch
from Mr. G. I>. Lamar, which announces the fi
nal delivery and shipment to Savannah, of the
guns seized by the police of New Yoik, which
belonged to the Messrs. Hodgkins of Macon,
which caused the seizure of the New York
ships, by order of Gov. Brown, as reprisal.—
We have heretofore published the correspond
ence connected with this affair, and the facts
which led to the second seizure of the ships
by order of the Governor.
Some poftfictares have attempted to cast cen
sure upon Gov, Brown for his bold, decided ac
tion, in protecting the rights of the citizens of
the State over winch he exercises Executive
authority, and have insisted that he should
have referred the question to the Government
at Montgomery. '1 he rights of our citizens,
however, have been vindicated and protected
by the action of the Governor, before the Gov
eminent at Montgomery has even been recog
nized by the Government at Washington.
In this case, therefore, as in al! other lead
il!<r acts of his admiirstration, success has vim
diluted the wisdom of the policy of the Gov
ernor, and he has not only secured the lights of
our citizens, but lie has triumphed over his en
emies, whose clamors will again be hushed in
the outburst of p >pular applause, which will
respond to his acts with a hearty amen.
He considers the duty and obligation of al
legiance and protection between those who are
governed, and those who govern, as mutual and
reciprocal. The allegian e of the ci-izen is
due t > the State; ho is bound to pay taxes, to
obey the laws, to <1 > military, patiol, ami jury
dutv, ami all other duties necessary tomaintam
the government of the Stat?'. In return for all
this, the State is bound to protect the citizen
nt home and abroad, in the full enjoyment of
h’s life, liberty, and | roperty. This protection
the Governor is determined the cilizt ns of this
State shall enjoy while he occupies the execu
tive chair.
The New York authority -t seized the guns
’ belonging to the citizens of this State, and rc
i fused to deliver them up on demand of the
Governor. He then seized the ships belonging
to New York, ami notified th? Governor of that
State that he would -cil the ships, and indem
nify the citizens es Georgia out of the (io
coeds of the sale, if the guns were not deliver
ed up bv the 25th day of this present month ;
he also advertised the shins for sale on that
dav, and Ind determined to sell them, if his de
mand was not complied with by that time. —
The N w York authorises had learned with
whom thev bad to d a’, an 1 they took care to
return the guns before the day fixed for the
sale of the ships.
The citizens of this State may well be proud
of the manner in waieh this affair has termin
ated. The triumph of the pclicy of the Gov
ernor has been complete, the honor of the Sate
vindicated, an 1 the rghts of the citizens fully
protected. So may it e\\r be 1— 2-7 Ara/ In
ion.

YV ashingion, March 27.—The President for
prudential reasoi s declined to transmit to the
Senate Major A idctsoh’s dispatches to the
War Department.
Breckenridge’s res lotion advising the with
drawal of the troops from the Confederate
States was discussed. No decision. Ihe
Senate went into Executive Session aud then
adjourned.
I’reparing for War,
The Confederate States Goverment has call
ed upon the Stalo of Georgia for two thousand
soldiers to go to Fort Pickens, and in compli
ance with the call Gov. Brown has given
notice to the following volunteer companies of
this State to hold themselves in readiness to
march to that post during this week:
Th Gate City Guards of this place, consist
ing of 82 men, under command of Captain.
Wm. L. Ezzard. This company is composed of
as noble a band of patriots as ever took up
arms in their country’s defense.
The Quitman Guards, of Forsyth, Monroe
county.
Newnan Guards, Coweta county.
Two companies from Augusta, two from
Macon and two from Columbus.
These companies will all give a’good account
of themselves, in any service they may be called
on to perform, and will keep unsullied the
bright escutcheon of Georgia’s military renown
Atlanta Confederacy.

Washington, March 24.—The Southern
Commissioners yesterday paid their visit to the
State Department. The particulars of the
interview have not transpired, but the Com
missioners appear to be well satisfied with the
m inner in which affairs arc progressing. Mr.
Forsyth left by this afternoon’s train for New
York. He wilt be absent several days.
Gen. Ben McCulloch, of Texas, is now in
Alexandria, Virginia. The ?Abolitionists are
boasting that they will have him arrested i 1
he should come to Vv ashington.
Fox, the special envoy of Lincoln to Fbrt
Sumter, reached here on his return yesterday.
The Administration keeps its secrets carefully
and no one knows what account Fox has given
of the state of affairs in Charleston harbor. —
It is presumed, however, that his story was not
particularly cncoit vagi ng.
The doings in the Senate yesterday were
not of any special interest.
