On this day the citizens of Gilmer assem bled nearly en masse in the Court House and organized by placing James Sharpe in the chair and appointing 11. R. Foote, Secretary. A brief explanation of the object of the meet ing being made by the chairman- 11. R. Hunt, Esq., introduced the following resdlu tion viz: Resolved, That in view of the unprovoked, unjustifiable and unholy war inaugurated by the Black Republican Government of Abra ham Lincoln against the free and sovereign States of the South--a war as it is uublush ingly proclaiihed at the North, of utter ex termination upon us, because ibe assert and dare undertake to maintain the glorious heri tage of Liberty bequeathed to Us by our patriot forefathers, we the people of Gilmer County in council assembled, do hereby pledge ourselves to resist unto death if need be,every attempt to coerce the confederate States and with a firm reliance upon the God of battles we will strike in the spirit of 1776 fir liberty and independence. The Resolution expressing the deep felt emotion of the large assemblage was adopted unanimously. General Hansell, then being called for, re sponded in an address which aroused the peo ple to a high pitch of indignation and excited an enthusiasm never before felt or wit nessed among them. In his remarks he adverted to Some of the causes which had produced the present condition of the coun try and as be arrayed these, one after another before them, the deep impression they made, was manifested by the repeated outbursts of feeling to which they gave expression. He told them of his own long and undeviating attachment to the old U. S. Government and with what reluctance he gave it up, saying, that it was like severing his heart strings ; but averse as he was, he had at last to give it np though he said it was indeed hard. Hun dreds present gave eager attention to this portion of his address and remembered wclll they too had died hard. From that moment to the close of his address one universal shout of applause followed his praise of the patriotic course of the whole South and of stern indignant rebuke ns lie reminded them of the unholy outrages of the black republi can government. Col. Brown was then called on and made a short address-, replete with patriotism and in dignation at the conductof the miscreants who threaten to sweep from us all that freemen hold dear, which met with responses showing all present were a unit and in earnest when they resolved to resist the unconstitutional pretentions of their enemies even unto death. JAMES SHARP, Chm. 11. R. Foote. Seely. Cassville Standard will please copy. Privateering and Piracy—That chief of pirates. Abraham Lincoln, has issued a crazy proclamation, declaring that it is his purpose to treat armed vessels, sailing under letters of marque from the Confederate States, as pi rates and to hold them, if captured, subject to the laws of piracy. This, observes the En quirer,, is absurdity, which could only ema nate from a miserable Black Republican law yer. All the world knows that the law of nations recognizes the ‘unilitia of the seas ” as a legitimate arm of the offensive service. For hundreds of years the policy of every na tion has been to cripple, by all availal le means, the commerce ot an enemy. In the last war with Great Britain our privateers swarmed upon the ocean. Air. Marcy Scerc tarv under Pierce ; in an able pap: r maintained the right and the policy of priva teering, and refused to enter into convention with the European powers to abolish it. The. proclamation will have no effect in stopping privateers. Men who go upon such enterprises go with their lives in their hands, and, if the laws of civilized warfare and the w hole usage of the United States are to be disregarded, by hanging privateersmen when taken as pirates, the south will most assured ly hang all Republican prisoners in like man ner. The insane threat of the piradreal Gov ernment shows their weak spot, and wc shall strike home at it with our foree.->-/?77i mond DLpatch. ——- ————-* President Davis at the North.—The Cleveland (O.) Plaindealer, in speaking of the South and its rulers, holds the following complimentary to President Davis: The South have plenty of talent and pluck. There is no discount on that. Davis is one of the best military men ir. the world. He is literally a son of Mars. The s n-in-law ot Gen. Taylor, educated at West Point, had a command in Mexico, was afterwards Secre tary of W ar, he knows from books all the the ories, and from practice all the arts of war He knows all the military monos the North j an 1,1 f the world. Wojremember the first time wc called on him.merely to pay our inspects, while Secreaary of war under Pierce. Al though a total stranger, he took us to a map hanging t>n the wall, representing the Crim ean country, ftt.d on which he had traced in red lines the encampments, works ditching, a: 1 the armies then besieging Scla<opel. His countenance glowed when describing teals - f generalship there displayed, and we leaned from him in that slant interview all the peculiarities *. the English, French. and Russ.an mode et waria o, their u.i. arydisti I line and ui.i.tary turn. He evidently sighed <n i* io It a \’ap«4eon TH EMARIETTA SEMI-WEE KL Y AD VO CAT E. Dinner to the Officers of the Fourth Brigade The Ladies of Marietta gave the officers of tl»e“4th Brigade, Geofgia Volunteers, now in Camp Brown, a sumptuous dinner at the Camp cn the first day of this month. We had the pleasure of being one of the partici pants of this dinner, and heard but oim opin ion expressed of it find that was that it was one of the incest and prettiest dinnets they had ever faced. If the officers arc ever cdlled into battle and pitch into tlic bnemy with the same alacrity they did intb this dinner they will soon be demolished. Not that they de molished all the dinner, for ihey only made an inroad into the good things so bounte ously spread on two large tables. This man ifestation of the kind regard of the Ladies of Marietta for the officers of the 4th Brigade, and the interest they seem to feel in the caus e in whch the officers are preparing 'to engag e will long be remembered by every one who had the pleasure to partake of the good things prepared for them by those patriotic and kind hearted ladies. May each and every one of these ladies live to see peace restored to a distracted country and the Confederate States marching on to their career of prosperity.- -Cassville Stan. are informed that Maj. J. W. Rob ertson an I Cipt. W. H. Hunt, of the La- Grange Military Academy, with a corps of cadets, have concluded to devote a short time in drilling Volunteer companies for ser vice. Maj. Robertson has gone to Decatur, where he will take charge of the companies that may be there, while Capt. Hunt will, take pleasure in giving lessons in the milita ry art to all companies that may rendezvous at this point. These gentbrr.e i willtake it as an act of great- favor if military companies throughout North Alabama meet at either place, unable themselves to go to the wars, they have been actuated by the exigency df the case to make this patriotic offer.—Tuscum bia Constitution. Col. Lee This distinguished soldier and Christian gentleman, now Major Lee of the A irginia farces, is one of whom Gen. Scott said that it were better for every ’officer in the army including himself (Scott,) to die than Robert Lee—such is his military genius—more particularly in engineering. —* *• Neutrality” is another form of rebel lion, “He that Is not with us is against us.” There can bo no such thing as neutrality without hostility in the present case. There is no analogy whatever between the position of the members of a confederacy and that of neighboring States, or kingdoms, having separate interests, distinct population, reli gion and languages. It is idle to set up any pretence. Therefore, if any State—Maryland for instance—affects neutrality, she meditates treason, and must be dealt with accordingly. —Philadelphia North American Gazette Lot Maryland and Kentucky put this in their pipes and smoke it. Among the privates of the Confederate Guards of New Orleans, is Rev. Dr. B. M. Palmer of the First Presbyterian Church in that city, and several elders of the Church. Rev. .N A.Okener, of the Episcopal Church Norfolk has joined a troop of Cavalry and Rev. Mr. O’Keefe the Roman Catholic Priest of that town, is the Captain of a Volunteer Company t Spies Iti tile South. We have little doubt .that Lincoln has his agent* in every Southern locality, and a strict lookout should be kept for them. Strangers, especially, no matter how pacific '.he pretenses on which they profess to come, should be closely watched, and if necessary, prevented from leaving.— Ivy. Gen. Beauregard,—Gen.

Richmond, May 9—lo, p. m.—The Lincoln Government is thoroughly alarmed. Yester day it bulled for more arms and ttoops from New York, saying that the Capital is in im minent peril. At Washington it is reported that Lincoln has under consideration a pltln to capture President Davis and Vice-President Stephens. He believes that would stop the great re bellion.” Governor Letcher has also receiv ed anonymous letters alluding to such a scheme. The notorious and persistent Unionist, Prbntice, of the Louisville Journal, writes to his brother in New York that he believes Kentucky will soon secede. The Tribune has a dispatch from Washing ton May 6th, stating that to-day Gen. Scott again, for the third time, voluntarily took the oath of allegiance to the Constitution and laws of the United States.” - Richmond, May 10.—The organiidtibn of a Southern Telegraph Line has been comple ted to-day by the selection of Dr. IV. S. Mor ris, of Lynchburg, as President, J. R. Dow ell General Superintendent. The line from Alexandria Sjuth is now entirely distinct and disconnected from the Washington Line North. The new officers are Virginians and sound to the core. The most perfect confi dence may be placed in them and in their zeal and devotion to the Southern cause.— The wires between Alexandria and Washing ington have been taken down. Alexandria, Va., May 11.—The United States steamer Pawnee slipped her cable late this morning, at the Washington Navy lard, and dropped down to this place, and she now lies off the city, close to the wharves, with her pert-holeo Opened, and her gilns run out. Annapolis, May 10.—About twenty shots were exchanged between the Confederate forces and the picket guard at Camp Butler list night. A train of Westerners with a lot of horses and one hundred beeves bound to Baltimore, was captured at Harper’s Ferry. Montgomery, May 10. —Mr. Brooke, of Miss., introduced a bill, establishing a Patent Office. Congress went into secret session. Sub sequently secresy was removed from a mes sage from President Davis, communicating a copy of a letter from Hon. John A. Campbell of Alabama, and formerly a Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States. This letter was addressed by Judge Campbell to Secretary W. 11. Seward, pending the latter’s negotiations with tile Southern Commission ers at Washington, in which negotiations Juge Campbell acted as a voluntary’ inter mediator between the two Governments in or der to prevent, if possible, a collision between them. He charges Secretary Seward with duplicity in this affair ; and the whole cor respondence is highly interesting. —++ Richmond, May 10.— Large bodies of Uni ted States troops left Baltimore yesterday for Washington. The Northern papers reluct antly acknowledge the commercial interests as going to wreck and ruin. The Journal of Commerce exposes the lie about Anderson going to Washington with four millions spe cie. He took with him only two hundred thousand dollars. — Ch. Courier. Passengers from Washington represent a terrible state of affairs. Houses are broken open and pillaged by the soldiers; females arc insulted on the streets and in their own homes ; innocent citizens are treated with brutality on the merest pretext of suspicion. The soldiers are represented as a drunken, thieving, ungovernable mob. Washington, May 11.—Large number of Confederate State troops are concentrating at Alexandria, Va., they have with them some heavy ordnance. Another large force of Confederate State troops is marching towards Harper’s Ferry, Va.; and it is supposed that they will force their way into Pennsylvania, in order to cause a division of the Federal troops. Baltimore, May 11.—In the Legislature of this State the Committee on Federal Relations reported, declaring the war of the Adminis tration unconstitutional; sympathizing with the South, and implores Lincoln to accept the olive branch of peace held out by the Con federate States; the report also asks fur a peaceful recognition of Southern independ ence and says that the present military occu pation of \\ anbington City is a flagrant viola tion of the Constitution,- and advise? the citi zens of Baltimore not to molest the Federal troops passing through. The Reason Why. A leading Republican sail yesterd ty in our hearing, that the Teas m why the fifty fifth (French) regiment waSnotscnt to Wash ington (though it was a in better state of prep aration than s >tne regiments which ha 1 gone) was that " Gov. M »rg*n was afraid the Frenchmen would not fight against a man by the Gallic name of Beauregards” Is that.so ? Our poor Frenchmen are kept in. camp on the Battery all this horribly changeful weather . —Daily News. ‘•Booty and Beauty?’—A gentleman just from New York says the streets are covered with placards, to induce the vile to enlist, headed ; " For the South •' ’’ “ Booty and Beautv!” “ Baltimore First”’ The ory of “Booty and Beauty” was once before raised by foreign mercenaries inva ding the 3 >il of the South. We can answer it now as we answered it then. — Ch. .Yer. girgal Jobh Low; deceased, applies to me for letters of admimistration upon the estate of the said John Low, late of said coiinry deceased.
