ADDRESS
C iipt, Taj -ul’-jy ajid Cor.f’c'li rate Guards :
Your prompt respi nse to the call of your
Country’s cause has excited an enthusiasm of
admiration among your fellow citizens, and
has fixed more firmly in their minds the just
ness of the cause and their unwavering deter
mination tomi' itain it at all hazards.
They sincerely thank you fi r this noble
manifestation of our people to maintain those
greatprincqdes of human Liberty which our
fathers Baptised in their blood.
Amidst such manife.stati ms,’the fires of '76
arc rekindled in our b”sorns, and we are
doubly assured that no tyrant northern foe
shall ■te-secrate our ieunes or our sod.
Our enemv ir regardless of constitutional
obliga'ions and kindred memories of the past,
following alone the whirl .vi. d of pa sionate
fanaticism brawling throats of subjugation
orabsifliitc di-truction :—ld >cka ling our for

navigation, thus even denying our little ones
bread.
Whether f>r the “darling negroes,
Or thed liar bright they long.
They arc alike brute v'l ■ intrieginrs,
Plotting ruin war and wrong.
It is said the tiide-wa’ks in N. Y. city arc
placarded with Beau'y and liootii as a re
ward the vile mercenaries to invade and .sub
jugate us. Beauty it is true is one of the
boasts of this favored cLino and its Institu
tions, but Confederate Guard", this beauty
worships at vour shrine, —it places itself un
der your protection, it re-erves its brightest
and sweetest sm'des for you. Since your en

Until victory shall proclaim these helples ones

But I need not stimulate you, for on the

your own selecting. Liberty or Death. Noble
Guards, this is worthy your ancestry! it is
worthy the confidence our countrymen place
in you,it is worthy the many smiles and bless
ing that these fair ones have showered upon
you ! it is worthy their deterintinaion to await
your return to bestow upon you their beauty
and virtue as a just reward of your manly
defense of their liberties!
Go brave patriotic Guards to the battle
field where the sympathies and interests of
our young nation will cluster around you,
where the prayers of the righteous Will in

There your brave ch Is will be written up
on the tablets of memory as mementoes to

May tlie God of battles go with you and

George N. Lester, Esq. being present by
invitation, r sp mde 1 in behalf ot the Guard*
in a speech of about thirty minutes, in vvliicli
he referred to the fact, that the banner was
not oidy the gift o‘ worn in, but was the gift
o c one whose native State, constituted the
van guar 1 of the secession column, and
wlmse gallant citizen*, Ikmlie I the first pow
der in the cmi"e of Southern honor and South
ern independence.
Mr. Lester pvo:mnn<’ed a well deserved
< nloginm up >n the noble women ot the South,
who from the very beginning of the contest in
vvhiih we are engage J, have ex’iau'-ted eve r y
resource of beatify, 1 iveli.iess, in lustry and
patriotism, to cheer ami encourage the South
ern soldier, as lie hies to toe field, where
truth and honor are to be vindicated, and ;
vic'orv and freedom are to be won.
Mr. I .ester’s addres* was desired for pub- I
lication, but his engagements deprived him
of time to commit it to paper.
The ccremony wa* one. in which the large
er vvd present seemed deeply intcrcste l, and
many a tearful eye indicated, that when the
Guards shall go to the field, the good wishes
an 1 prayers of love I ones an 1 friends will
fillow them. -

From the Atlanta Intelligence).
Letter from Dr. Jolm W. Lewis.
Oakland, Cass County. Ga., 1
May 21, 18C1. (
Mr. E. B. Walker :
Dear Sir: I had the pleasure of reaching
h me on yesterday, after having traveled by
the way of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Knoxville,
Bristol, Lynchburg, Richmond, Petersburg,
Columbia, and Augusta, and thence Irmie.—
I write this to you with the view of its pub
lication, mainly to remove all apprehension
from the public mind here, in relation to the
present and future supplies of food. Not
withstanding the partial blockade of the Mis
sissippi River, and its great tributaries, there
is plenty of food, both of bread and of meat,
for some time yet to come, on this side of the
blockade. These supplies, under the flatter
ing prospect of an abundant crop of wheat,
oats and grass, now growing and maturing,
will cause present supplies to come forward
more freely. My trip embraced a distance
of about 1400 miles, and without any excep
tion along the whole way, there is growing
—and in many places nearly matured —the
finest crop of wheat I have ever seen, both as
to quality and amount. The oat crop is also
promising: and the grass crop, both in Ten
nessee and Western Virginia, is both abun
dandand of unusual luxuriance. Virgi 4a will
make an excess of wheat for home use. East
Tennessee will make a large excess lor ship
ment to Georgia. A.dded to all this, there is
planted a great breadth of corn ; Virginia
pl inting but little tobacco ; North and South
Carolina but comparatively little cotton, and
best of all, fewer /T’ po T by fiir than usual.
Men, women and children are at work, and
loafers, (the most useless part of the human
family,) are for leant of company. All
the prospects in nature, through this great
extent of country are bright and prosperous.
In strange contrast to all this brightness
and sweetness in nature, is seen hovering
over all, the dark and portent"US cloud of
war. The flower of the young monos N rth
and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkau
sas, Tennes-ee, and some from Kentucky,
are seen flockmg by the th' nsan 1, and ten
thousand to the Confederate baimer, planted
on the eastern border of Virginia, ” the
mother of States and Statesmen,” which is,
i and which icill be the “ Tiiermopykc’’ of the
I now world. There the great battle will be
fimght, there the 'ext of peace will be an
n lunced, ■' ’ ' God rrant
it may be the latter. At any rate, oh the
banks of the I’ itomac, th. it fanaticism, which
has overvvhe'med in ruin, the finest fabric of
Constitutional government which the world
ever bad- will waste its last ware. I in Hirn
though—l weep to think, that this may not
I b?, until thousands of the flower of our young
men shall have been torn as targets by the
bullets of a mercenary foe. A foe too, whom
we have never harmed, and in regard to
wlm m, we only request to lice separate. Per
contra to these mournful thoughts, 1 heard
some amusing things in regard to the troops.
For instance, one of th? Georgia *'b vs” was

among our advertisements, a call for the es
tablishment of a Smihern Armory. Mr. Mc-
Neil, the projector of this enterprise, is a
practicial man, and every way competent to
give it direction. The locality of the work*,

Letters form sources of unquestionable in
tegrity were received yesterday in this city
from Washington stateing that the public of
Wa-hington was much agitated by an angry
conference which lias taken place betweon
Lord Lyons, the British Minister, and Sew
ard, the Secretary of State. The facts, as
Stated,are as follows : Lord Lyons received
from the British Consul at Charleston a state
ment of the circumstances under which the
British vessels mentioned in your paper were
lately prohibited from entering Charleston
and ordered off, in enforcement of the paper
blockade of the Southern ports by the Uni
ted States, i.ord Lyons demanded that or
ders should be immediately issued by the Gov
ernment ol the United States rescinding the
paper blockade, so far as Great Britain was
concerned, and that the Government of Great
Britain would hold the Government ofthe Uni
ted States responsible for alb losses the Brit
ish vessels lately ordered off shall sustain in
consequence of the interruption of the voy
ages.
On this an angry discussion took place,
Lord Lyons insisted that, if the Southern states
were still a part of the United States British,
vessels, by the treaties with Groat B, itain.had
a right to enter Southern ports and if they
were not, then that a paper block ade was
contrary to the laws of nations.— Mont Adv'

Whoever may have beer the original an
swering to this picture, it is unquestionably
a living likeness, drawn liy the pencil of in
-piration, < f the Abolition Government of the
North. Lot us Lok at the protrait.
Ist, It is an Undeniable fact, everywhere
proclaimed, never seriously questioned, that
the olive branch or the sword, the decision T
peace or war, was with the North. The Lin
coin Government decided for war.
2nd, Il is an undeniable fact, that theS-aitli
were for peace, prayed for peace, offered term
for peace, and every solitary peace- ffering, in
the Peace Congress and in Congress itself,
was from the South; and every solimry one
of those offerings was rejected by a N 'rtln-rn
pertinacity, Unanimity ami incorrigibility that
has filled both hemispheres with astotiishu'ent.
"ll‘hdh put forth his hands og liast such as
lj • at peace ici it him."
3rd, It is an tin 'on hi bio fact that Abr. Lin
coin has violated the Constitution of what was
once the United States ol America, in them >st
flagrant mam er. Congress alone lias the right
‘ to declare war, grant letters of M A RQL’ E ami
REPRISAL, and make rules concerning ca) >-
turns on land and water, to raise and suppori
armies, t.> pi-o\ ide and maintain a navy, ami
to provide for calling forth the militia.’’ (Sep

How the Kentuckians Handle a Rifle.
An intelligent correspomlent who lately left
Baltimore fore Harper’s F<riy and other
points in Virginia, give- t) ie following
account of his observations in a p ivate
letter:
At Harper’s Ferry, a Kentuckiah challeng
ed a Virginian to shoot with the rifle, fl he
distance was a hundred and fifty yards. Ohl
Kentucky covered his s x bullet holes with
a hall dollar, and Old Virginia was obliged
to get a small tm cup to cover his; buthe
claimed rhe victory, on the ground that hisel
bullets were twice the size of his adversary's,
i wenty-eight men shot on the same dav, at
three hundred yards, at a log the size of a
man, and twenty-two bullets pierced it.
These shots were all off hand. There is a
company here who practice nt double quick
time—a full trot—and they seem to donearly
as well as those who fire standing. They
arc terrible fellows, and seem to have a most
insatiable desire to fight.”
Richmond, May 27.—The report which
prevail here that a number ofthe Lincolnitea
were killed on Sunday in an attack on Hamp
ton, is authoritatively denied. The rumor
sprung from the report of musketry firing
which occurred over the grave of a soldier at
Old Point.
On Saturday the Lincolnites marched into
Hampton, but moi with no opposition, as the
citizens retired on the approach of the merce
naries. Finding the t <wn deserted, they left
it having burned the bridge and cut off com
municate r.
How the New York Regiment Brn.WED
tn the Mexican War. —The Charleston Mer
cury says ;
It was the on dit in the army, that Col.
Burnett ofthe New York regiment, wrote to
Gon. Shicl Is, saying : “You have, in your
report, done injustice to the New York regi
ment.”
The reply* of Shields was prompt enough ;
“ You are right ! Had I done them justice, I
should have said that they ran like a pack of
J—J cowards, an 1 their Colonel at the head
of them 1”
