®lje AiMwcMc. 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. —aOj . • -O<—> » ► » * 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. m • »■ —— 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. aaa d • <E>»- • ♦ K—i. 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. ■ rIE ♦ > 4 .■*> «♦ mT*' Southern Rights Meeting in North Caro lina — .Greensboro.' N. C., .March 22.—A very large and enthusiastic meeting of Southern Rights citizens of North Carolina was held at the Court House to-day. The S mthern Con federacy flag was hoisted over the hall of the building. The meeting’ organized by the election of Hon. Weldon M. Edwards, of Warren, as Chairman, assisted by six Vice Presidents. In the evening speeches were made by Hon. M. J. M uses, of South Carolina; Edmund Ruffin, of Virginia, and Gen. Young, of Meck lenburg. There was a general outpouring of the citi zens, and the meeting is wild with enthusiasm. All the districts in the State are reported to be represented. The meeting adj aimed at 5 o’clock, to meet again at 7 o’clock P. M. No compromise is wanted. All are for im mediate secession. About one thousand delegates arc present New York, March 24. —The U. S. war frigates Roanoke and Wabash have been or dered immediately to sort, from the Brooklyn Naw Yard.

General Twiggs has declined the appoint ment of Brigadier- General of the Confederate States Army, on account of feeble health. Another State Gone.--A telegram from M unphis announces that the Arkansas State C invention, last Wednesday, the 20th instant, p: s cd a secession ordinance, subject to appro val by a vote of the people. New Orleans, March 27. —The Texa leg islature passed a resolution approving the Con vention act deposing Gov. Houston. A bil was passed to raise a regiment of i mount j.l riflemen of one thou-and mem, for the ; frontier. The Indian depredations were in ’ creating. Savannah and the Confederate Loan.— The Savannah Republican says that the B. nks (f Savannah have tak*n five hundred thousand dollars of the loan authorized by the I Congress at its late session. Origin of the Word Creole —The word was originaliv used tu designate the children of Snan -ii parents born in Spanish colonies. In time't was applied to children ot other nation*. ‘ and people t alked of French Creoles and Dutch Creoles. Tr. • word signfies now that the pers- I on to whom it is applied was born in a country ' originaliv colonized by France or Spain, and descended from ancestors residing in that part of the country at or before the time of its trans ftr to the U nited States. The Troops at Washington.—lt is stated that the troops stationed in Wa: hington city will not be removed for some lime, at least not be fore the Virginia Convention has determined upon its action. What have they to do with the Virginia Convention? SAVANNAH, March 20.— Neivs— Cotton— The market is still irregular, with an active de mand. Sales of Good Middling have been made at 13c. but it takes an even running to bring these figures. The sales foot 815 bales, at prices ranging from 101 to J3c. OBITUARY.
