SEMI-WEEKLY MARIETTA, GEORGIA. — - • ►>-♦•» SB»- THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1861. New Advertisements. Messrs. J. J. Northcutt <fe Co., at their Ba zar of Fashion, present, in their card to day, inducements to ladies and gentlemen desiring to secure a seasonable supply of Spring and Summer dry goods. As energetic business men, conversant with the public tastes and wants, they merit a'continuance of the large trade they have already secured. That old stand-by with our country friends, Mr. L. Bennett, is also a candidate for public favor in the Dry Goods, Heady made Clothing, and General Variety line, having received and opened bis new Spring supply. Several new legal notices also demand at tention. A New Sign- >- Messrs. Hughey & Randall have opened a Paint Shop in Judge Green’s new block, ad join.ng the Court House, and have just hung out ajjign, as a notice of that fact to the pub lic, and as a specimen of their workmanship The sign, on cither side, is tastefully designed and artistically executed. On one side is a landscape view, with an engine—the Joe Brown —and train in the foreground, with the ever attendant telegraph polesand wires, along which thought skips with Tig'T'tnmg speed, far outstripping even the wonderful steam car in its unwearying and rapid flight. This view is encircled with a beautiful wreath of flowers, and above is traced that magic motto for all tradesmen —“ Dispatch'' The lettering here is of the fancy style, the coloring judiciously selected and beautifully blended. On the other side the letters are plainer, and like the fir-1, arranged in an oval space. In the centre is a sun rise view, the word “ Promptness'' traced above. The whole mechanical execution’ of the hvork is creditable to Messrs. 11. <fc R., and, with a steadfast adherence to their motto, “ Prompt ness and Dispatch,” they will, doubtless, secure a fair share of public patronage. Were we at all disposed to fault-finding, we might be captious enough to make what we deem an only fault, destroy the merits of the whole. Above the sun set view is a quotation from Horace—“ Nil conscire sibi, nulla palles cere cnlpce." W e doubt the appropriateness of the quotation, and consider still more doubtful the taste of using unintelligible words to nine tenths of the people, at least upon a sig l , which should bo so plain, that all who run may read. ®erx„The M ontgomcry * Correspondent ol the Charleston Me.cury, under date of the 21st, says : Considerable excitement exists in this city to-day on account of dispatches f oni Washing ton, which, if true, wiil make a collision at Fort Pickens unavoidable. The President is already concentrating troops at that point.— Yesterday bee’s Volunteers from Atlanta, Geo., consisting of 108 iron, a I'allapoosa Company, 90 men, left for Pensacola. I bi' morning Ma jor Coppin, of the New Orleans Zuave Regi ment, left for home, with orders to take his reg iment immediately to Pensacola. 1 understand also that other troops from Georgia are await ifrg transportation. I’ensacola is now a point of great interest. [ From the Savannah News ] The New York Ships llvleased. It will be seen from the follown g order from Gov. Brown that the New York vessels in this port, held as indemnity for the arms be longing to citizens of Georgia, illegally se zed by the New York police, have been released to their owners. 'The piompt and resolute action of the Executive of Georgia in this matter is deserving of all praise, as it has taught the Black Republican authdi ities of New York tiiat outrage upon the rights of citizens of Georgia wdl not be Submitted to. It is to be hoped that they will profit by the less >n in future : S.WWNAII, March 2?d, 1861. Col, 11. Ti.

Hknmngsen is sai lto le preparing • work on YY ashington, as a military man. From the Savannah Morning News. Location of tlie Southern Capital. NATURE DESIGNED MARIETTA as the site for THE SOUTHERN CAPITAL ! Is position, elevation, climate, water, health fullness, etc.: From every point of view its po sition is admirable and remarkable. lhe Great Alleghany or Appalachian system ol highlands, stretching South-eastwardly from Canada, comprises three distinct and remaik ably continuous and parallel ranges of moun tains. The most eastwardly of these ranges, after passing some distance into Northern Georgia, gradually widens out and expands in the region of Marietta into an elevated and comparatively level tract of country —a table land, or nearly so. The elevation of this table land at Marietta is 1120 feet above the sea — (elevation of Macon 200 feet above the level of the sea) —an elevation greater, in fact, than that of any other extensive level area in the Southern Confederacy. So great an altitude ncccessarily renders the climate cool, bracing and healthful The win ters are less severe than in Tennessee and Ken tucky, while the summers are uniformly cooler and pleasanter—the temperature of the summer nights being rendered yet more bracing and agreeable by the influence of various mountain peaks rising majestically from this portion of the table land, and several of which are in' view of Marietta—entrancing the eye of the visitor with their soft azure slopes towering clear-cut and bold upon the blue sky beyond. I Marietta is already noted far and wide for its invigorating and healthy climate, and it has long been a popular resort in summer for persons from the low country. Its healtlifulnes s is doubtlessly much enhanced by the pure cohl, freestone water that abounds in this region; and aiso from the character of the gcology-the char acter of the rocks. It is a granite country — the healthiest of all countries; or, at least, if not granite, it is a gneiss country, and gneiss is a rock very closely allied to true granite. Considi r, next, the central geographical posi tion of Mai ietta. The site is snfliciently cen tral, as a glance on the map shows us. It is a Jong way off, we observe, from the North-eastern corner of South Carolina Extent of suitable Area —Character of the Soil, etc. There is plenty of space about Marietta for the Capitol and Government buildings, and for that expansion which the city would necessa rily undergo. Compared to that of most South ern cities, the earth and soil is remarkably firm, (owing to the natme of the gneiss rock which underlies it, and from which it, was formed) and the streets arc unusually free of’ dust and mud. A few’ hours, even after the I hardest rains, suffice to render the walking ad mirable. Facilities of Access—Railroads. Marietta, is located upon that great highway of many States, the Western and Atlantic or State Railroad of Georgia, and is only 20 miles north of Atlanta —the great railroad city of the South—the city in which the iron arms converge ami center from every portion of the country. It is but a short ride from Atlanta, and yet far enough distant to be rid of the ceaseless thunder of rushing trains, and of the dust, and confusion of a large commercial city. “ The committee on sites" for the old Union did not select Baltimore for the Capital, but a re tired ami roomy spot beyond, then covered with Virginia forest trees, and which is now Wash ington City with its many thousands of inhabi tant-. The groat State Railroad of Georgia connects Mai ietta directly with the whole United States to the northward—with Memphis and Little Rock—w ith Nashville, Louisville, Chicago, etc. while the roads centering in Atlanta connect it with ail the country southward. And the new road row being graded between Marietta and the Alabama line, j iningthcic the Rome and Jacksonville (Ala.) R. R., will connect the place more directly with the Alabama railroads, and thus form an almost air line road between Marietta and Memphis. On the whole, what unrivalled facilities of access I X. Y. Z.

We copy the following trom the New York “Herald” of Tuesday : The Georgia Arms Given Up by - the Po lice. —The New York vessels seized at Savan nah by Governor Brown, in consequence ot the illegal detention of arms by the Metropoli tan police, were to have been sold by auction on the 25th of this month; but we learn that the Police Commissioners have adopted the prudent course which we previously suggest ed—namely, that of delivering up the ten Cases of arms which they retained to the agent of the State of Georgia in this city, by whom they have been forwarded to the South. This proceeding of course led to the release of the vessels from forfeiture.” . Georgia furnishes to her sister States of the South, the best possible argument in favor of prompt action precipitate action if you choose —in tiie way of redressing wrongs inflicted upon her by an unfriendly power. Thirty odd years ago, during John Quincy Adam’s Ad ministration, she brought the Federal Govern ment to terms, through the gallantry and de termination of her Troops. Subsequently, in defiance of a mandamus of the Supreme Court ot the United States she asserted her sover eignty over the Indian Territory which had passed to her by treaty, and soon succeeded in securing an acknowledgment of her claims, legal and moral, by the whole world. And now’’, when the goods of her citizens are seized by the authorities of New York, Georgia, act ing under the lex tallonis,sC\7xi\ all the New York vessels she could find in the port of Sa vanriah, and the result was a speedy surrender, on the part of New York, of the goods stolen from Georgians I Well done Georgia, — Rich mond Eng. $3?
