He returned this forenoon, having one in charge. The McDonald Guards were out on § ’Saturday afternoon for their regular monthly 1 drill. The company had tolerably full ranks, 1 and presented their usual fine appeal a nee. c * -<H •♦EB" More Recruits Off. A noth ci lot of ie pruits for the Georgia Army, enlisted hcie un der Capt. Magill, left this morning for Savan- ‘ nah, in charge of Serg’t Tucker. This makes the fourth instalment of good men sent eflf from this point, entitling old Cobb to the hon or of having been second to no county in pa triotic response to the call for soldiers. Brown Rifles. —Capt. Dickinson, in behalf c of the Brown Rifles, offered the services of that r company to Gov. Brown, by telegraph, the day before yesterday. An answer was received, ac cepting the offer, and directing that they j should repair forthwith to Pensacola. Capt. Dickinson returned yesterday to Canton, and will start with his company to morrow or next day. Spring and Summer Clothing.—Mr. Henry Ilirscb, at his old stand, the Maiietta Clothing Store, has received his first instalment of clo thing for Spring and Summer wear, which he proposes to sell as low as any Atlanta House for cash. His store is just the place to secure a neat, cheap and seasonable outfit, as well as every article to be found in i gentlemen’s fur bishing house.

W c also hear that other companies ol Dragoons in the J &tatc, who have heretofore tendered their ser vices to the Government tlirodgh Governor! Brown, have received like orders'.— A.tla.nt<i Confed\ X\th. The Attitude og France and England.— i I'hc statement that England and France will sustain the policy of the Administration, in the event of an attempt to put down the secession of the Confederate States is without a sliaddow of foundation. Advices received by the last mail from Europe, by both the Eng lish and French Legations, indicate pretty clearly what those two powerful Governments intend to do. They will keep hands oil, and wait tlie development of the events. Tim in. struVti'His to all their agents oti this side ol the ; wartei" ate clear and explicit. In no event will they take Sides in the difficult! which now impeiid oVcr th : S country. They sincerely hope to see a peaceful solution of the question. I make this statement. On the highest authority. 'Flic war wing of the Republican party are in great glee at the prospect of plunging the Country into civil war and bkol. They do not hesitate to denounce Gov. Seward in coarse and ungentlvmnnly language, merely be- ’ cause he opposed their insane and reckless schemes. Had it not been for his wise counsels the whole country to day would witness scenes that would appal the strongest heart. He 1 never will permit this Administration to fol low the wild and fanatical schemes of the Abolitionists. — A\ 1 Letters of Mvrqvk ano Repisal.—We have prettv good authority to announce that so soon as Mr. Lincoln shall give unmistak able evidence of coercion against the Southern Stales, the Southern Confederacy will, at once, grant letters of mai que and reprisal. Wishing well to our merchants, wc advise them, there fore to carefully watch the signs of the times. The game of war is one that two can play at. and those capitalists who have furnished the Government with money to inaugurate a war against the Smith, may find mit. <re they are aware, that they have placed a knife in the hands of an enemy to ent their own throats.— A V. V. 7»ooA'. - — 1 The easiest way to get over an affront is to foget it; the noblest to forgive it. Secession and Cotton at Twelve and-a half Cents.—The old Union is dissolved; seven States are bearing arms and anticipating war, and yet Cotton, the great staple of the South, the food of millions, the king of the world, is at tl,lc enormous price of 12-j cents per pound. It has not been so high for years. It goes up in the midst of a revolution, and despite the prophesies of Black Republicans and timid submissionists in the border States, that commerce would be destroyed by seces sion and our farmers would suffer great loss in the reduction of the price of this article, we behold them with happy faces, filling their pockets with the money thus made, and thank ing kind Providence for the prosperous times. Cotton at 12A- cents, and the revolution going on! This takes the Republicans aback, and forces an acknowledgement from some ff our patriotic Soiithctn friends who opposed seces sion, that things Lave not turned out half so bad after all. Negroes are high, Cotton is high, the season is propltous for a good crop, our people arc happy, and one shout goes up from mountain to valley fur our new Govern ment and flic blessings of liberty which it dispenses to its subjects. Three cheers for the Confederate Stages and the present price of Cotton.— Columbus (Gai) Times. —«a3J ♦ o o ♦ Eaez— How Europe would Regard a Blockade of Southern Boris.—The British Minister to the United States has notified President Lin coln that the British Government would not recognize a blocdade of the Southern ports, unless such a blockade were complete and ef fective. No political significance must be attached to this fact. It was very natural that England should not desire, by recognizing the blockade, to show any hostility to the Southern States, and by a speciis of intervention, more or less direct, close those ports against herself and alienate the sympathies of the people from whom she receives the greater part of the cot ton which supplies her looms. In like manlier, it is very probable, as has al so been announced, that the other great Pow ers, inspired by the like purely comrnccial con siderations, wi'l follow England’s example. It docs not belong to them to meddle in the internal affairs of the United S ales. J hey allow their various confederated parts tos< ttle their matters as they think proper. There, as elsewhere, they will respect the principle of nonintervention. On recognizing the blockade, they would necessarily tafce part with the Northern against the Southern States, and would commit a political act instead of con fining themselves to taking care of their com mercial interests. — Translated from Le Pays, of Paris, March 20. Tlie Insane Movement 'flic Washington Government is displaying the worst traits of barbarian ignorance, fatui ty, and brutality. The duplicity and treache ry df Lincoln are proven by his persistent and recorded words - . Union men, from the border slave Stales, were assured by him that his pol icy Was peace: They caught up his Words and 1 bore il'.em iii trimiiph to their States to iiiflti i once the people Against Recession. Our Com missioners were led to believe that the trou bles of the twb sections would have a peaceful solution. Fort Sumter was to be evacuated weeks ago, and is now to be provisioned at ail hazards. Fox and Lamon were permitted to visit And< rson arid center with hiiri, unre servedly, in private, upon the reasonable suppo sition that the evacuation of Fort Smnt-'r would bo arranged. Lieut. Talbot was allow -1 ed to retire from the fort to go to till an ap pointment in Oregon, and yet in a few days he returned to Charleston to get back to his quar- I tors in the Fort. In this however he was thwarted find lie returtil'd to Washington.— These and other iiiMances of duplicity on tlu pai t of the Northern Administration shows it to be uttorlv (lostitnte of honor or truthfulness. The Confederate States must regaid it as un wo>thy of confidence, and deal with it as a wily and treacherous eribmy.— Aug. Repvb. Missionaries of the It now appeals that, under the peaceful’ pre text of ascertaining the precise condition of Major Anderson’s command in regard to pro visions, and with a view to withdrawal, the Abolition Government has treacherouslv sought to arrange for the introduction of supplies and of men into the post. Agent after acent has been sent on, whether to consult -Major An derson, or to be guided bv his approval of their m litary plans, is not manifest. But, it is plain that our authorities have been dealing with men whose perceptions of honor acr vague and famt. They have been deceived and their confidence has been gi. -sly abusc<i in at least one instance—that cf Mr. Fox. It has since transpired in the Northern nr< ss that this quondam officer presented to the Govern ment a scheme for reinforcing the fort, and, alter a conference with the \\ ashington au thorities. was -ent here to advise with Major Anderson ontbe subject. I'nder false pretences, hi- object here was accomplished. Our expe rience of the faith observed by our American enemies, while it shows their implacable ma lignity, and how unscrupulous thev are in its gratification, will effectually teach us—and we trust cnee for all—that, in the settlement of difficulties, we must relv s lelv upon ourselves. In dealings with such a people, qenero<itv is thrown away, and magnanimity and chivalry are esteemed weakness and tody. Cbarlrgfi i i\Lrcurg. Malignity of the Abolitionists. The Washington correspondent of the Char leston Mercury’shows the determination of the abolition government at Washington to call in the aid of Mexicans and Indians to harrass the South What an abominable government! The following is an extract, dated, Washing ton, April 3d: The exciting intelligence from the Rio Grande is considered "indicative of other methods of attack contemplated by the Lincoln Admmims tration, in their crusade aginst Southern inde pendence. Allowance must be made foi exag geration and error in the telegraphic report received to-day. It is possible that the whole story lias grown out of fresh efforts by Cortin as and bis bandits, who will, of course; be fit and proper allies of ex-Governor Houston ; but even this supposition implies a greater br less degree of participation in the movement by the Federal authorities.- Certain 't is, that Houston i? co-opefating with Lincoln, find that the President, in return, is rendering aid and comfort to the ex-Governor. On the other hand, Assuming the despatch to be substantial ly correct, and that Ampudia, at the head of Mexican troops,‘is marching upon Brownsville, the conclusion is irresistible that the I nited States Government connives with the Mexicans, for the purpose of harrassing the lexans, and swelling the difficulties of the Montgomery Executive. The appointment of Corwin as Minister to Mexico has, from the outset, been regarded as the precursor of trouble on the Mexican fron tier. The aim of the Administration is two-fold : to stimulate ami assist Mexico in resisting the natural growth of slave territory, and to profit by a Mexican alliance for the purpose of keep ing up a border warfare, and so distracting the plans of the Confederacy iti the event of war with the Northern States. Corwin is the very man for the business. Traditionally opposed to Southern expansion, and impelled by his an ti slavery associations to hate the new Conlcd oraev. he will bring'all his cunning into exer cise to commit Mexico to a policy of hostility toward the Confederate States ; and Mr. Lin coln is quite ready to help Mexico in return. Adverting again to the alleged invasion of the Texan fr< nticr, it is impossible to overlook the well understood calculations of the Repub lican party, with regard to aid derivable from the Indians-. When it was clear that Texas would prove true to itself and to the South, the exposed position of its frontier settlements was dwelt upon with fiendish exultation ; and j in the discussion c< nstantly going on hero, re ference is uniformly made to the n-e of Indian savages as assistants of federalism in the woik . of coercion. The Republicans are ready to re- ; enact the demoniac horrors which eternally dis graced the British cause in the Revolutionary war. Chatham’s scathing denunciations are forgotten by the ruling party of the Northern States. cn ♦ ° • ♦ Bin Germany Manufacturing Arms for South Carolina. —A letter from a Rhode Island trav eler, now in Europe, has just been received here, (says the Providence Journal,) bringing some interesting news about the manufactuie of weapons for the South, 'I be writer visited a large manufactory of arms in Western Prussia, and was told by the superintendent that the company was then making 50,000 rifles and 50,000 swords for the Sotrh, and that the eider came through a Paris banker, who guaranteed the payment. ■MB ♦ ♦ ► • ♦ £*■' Rifled Cannon .—A fine rilled gnu reached this city yesterday from Liverpool. It is a gies ent to the State from a Carolinian now res ident in the latter place—-Charles K. Priole.au, Fsq.-, who, although absent it) a foreign land, does not forget his State in the hour of her need.— Char. Courier. Significant.—Ti e following, from the New Y >rk Day l>>ok, possibly possesses a deeper significance than many people imagine: There is a powerful and numerous revolu tionary organization, the object of which is to separate the citv and port of New 5 ork from the Union and from the State, and make it a free and independent port. We have heard that a printed programme is in private circula tion, to which some four thousand names arc attached, proposing this scheme. ]f<>ur infoitnntion’s correct, as we are forced to believe it is, the rumor merits touch ventila tion It may turn out that the success of the revolution sts at the South has wrought a wider and deeper disorganization than we had supposed. St. Loris. April IL—l he correspondent of the St. Louis Republican says that the citi zens of Arizona Territory assemble 1 in € onvem tion at Mesilla on the 16 inst and passed a res oluti m declaring the Territory out of the I ni ted States.

Richmond, Apr.l 10. — A resolution was adopted that the people of Virginia will wait anv reasonable time to obtain answers from other States to certain proposed amendments to the Constitution, aware as they arc of the emb.vrassiuents which may pro luce delav, but thev wid expect as an indispensable condition that pacific poliev be adopted toward the sece ded States, and that no attempt be made to subject them to Federal authority, nor to rein force forts or to recapture forts, etc., etc., or ex act duties on imports. A resolution was passed that it is the opinion of this Convention that Virginia would regard any action of the Federal or Confederate G>v • rnments, tending to produce Collision, pending the efi"o: t- for the adjustment of th' dimculties as unwise ami injurious to both, and would regard such action on the part of either as . leaving Virginia free to determine her future ' policy.’ NEW Election for .Brigadier General. are authorized and requested to an nounce Wm.
