MARIETTA G-EO.,
FRIDAY MORNING NOV 22. 1861.
E PROCEEDINGS.
For several days havobeen comparatave
ly uninteresting- « e w.ll watch w ill
some anxiety the action relative to the
extraordinary powers proposed, by sev
eral bills to be vested in the Governor.
THE LINCOLN PROGRAMS.
If the N. Y. “Herald” is right there
will be no movement shortly frcm the
Potomac —McClellan’s force being em
ployed simply to occupy the attention
of cur forces in Virginia. The attacks
are to be made upon our defenceless
points. Some hundred thousand men are
to entrench themselves,under theprotec
tion of the fleet at different points upon
the coast, while the Lind frontier, open
to invasion, will perhaps be occupied 01
threatened.
Lincoln thinks that he will thus open
our ports for commerce between our
people ami the north, or that by occu
pying our coast with entrenched camps
he can better prosecute the order here
after
It is very certain as the marshaling
of troops in the west and the excite
ment about Chattanooga and Knoxville
indicate, that 'he prograrne of war is
of the most stupendous character. —
Whether a merely defensive policy is
adopted to the eligeney is very doubt
ful unless we learn to live wholly upon
our own resources.
THE DECLINE AND FALL OF
NORTHERN GENERALS.
One by one, the G< nerals, who have
undertaken to lead the Northern hor
des to the conquest of the South, first
idolized, praised, leted, trusted, have
fallen in public favor, and ietired hu
miliated, if not disgraced, to meditate
in private on the fickleness of the mul
titude and the vanity of human great
ness. The Louisville Courier. in an
article upon this subject, says:
From the firing of the firs* gun ar
Fort Sumter till the present hour, the
Southern arms have not sustained a
single serious reverse, while 1 the vic
tories of Great Bethel, Bull Run, Ma
nassas Plains, Springfield Lexington
and Leesburg, in each of which battles
large forces were engaged, are not
surpassed by the most brilliant suc
cesses ever achieved by American va
or ami American generalship.
The Northern people we’e as'onnd
ed at the result of the engagement
between their soldiers fighting
for the overthrow of the Governs
inent and ours sigh ing for the rights
of the people to govern tin inselves.— |
They had not expet fed defeat. So they
laid the burden on their Generals, and
for each reverse a commander was dis
graced.
Great Bethel was lost, and General
Pierce was the victim
Vienna followed, and Gen. Schenck
was covered with approbrium.
Bull Run and Manassas Plains cov
ered tht* North with mourning’, and
Gen. McDowell, a brave man ami able
officer was superceded.
Beccuse. Gen. Patterson could not,
or did not attack a 1 d whip Gen. John
ston, he was honorably mustered out
of service!
Gen. B >b Anderson came to Kentucky
iho pride and boast of the North,
but he did not because lie could not,
drive the “rebel traitor Buckner” from
the State, and soon lie was superseded
by Gen. Sherman, an I ordered to re
port himself at Washington for the
benefit of his health.
A month ago Gen. Fremont entered
upon the discharge of duties as Com.
mamler of the Department of the
West, amidst tin* applause of the rab
ble and the congratu’ itions of hia sec
tion; and to-day he is denounced and
abused by those who hailed his inaug.
oration,and is suspected ami threatened
by the Administration that appoint'd
him.
And even Gen. McClellan, who a few
weeks ago the tickle multitude were
al nost ready to half Imperaiur is now
beset with enemies who is disparageing
his achievements and den and his res
ntovul.
ibrom a gentleman just returned
from Dalton, Gu., we learn the follow
ing facts :
As soon as the difficulties in E ist
Tennessee became known in that place,
a meeting of the citizens was called
and a messenger was dispatched to
Knoxville to ofer assistance incase
any should le m cded. The P’esident
of the East T< t. ms see and \ trginia
Railroad an I the citx autlmriti.'s in
formed him that they need no assistance
that all the gm d cit• tns of the Coiintiy
irn sspec'ive of It rmer st nt'ments. were
hunting down the bridge burners -that
the rebel ion was only paitial, and con
fined to a set es mam ics an I despera
d K's. and they apprvhendt d no ddlicul
’whatever in suppressing it. -.-L'. Zi.

LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
7TH GEORGIA REGIMENT.
Correspondence cf the Advocate.
Army of the Potomac}
Camp at Centreville, Va.. >-
November Bth, 1861.)
Mr. W. M. Jefferson :
Dear Sir : The wea her has been quite
variable since my last writing, and we
have received two cr three “morning
calks” from that ancient and distinguish
ed individual, Jack Frost, who has come
with his usual greetings to renew the
acquaintance so pleasantly begun on
sundry former occasions—beginning
with him as usual, “blue noses and cold
looses,” and forcibly impressing upon
us the comforts of the “Home Circle,”
especially when said circles radiates
about a good warm fire ; but pshaw !
the idea of such things is lidiculous to
any person in this army of the Potomac.
He has also brought with him his usual
perspective glasses like some merchants
annually “bring on” wherein we see
dimly ; brt with an eye of faith, smok
ing boards and rousing cheer, to greet
old Christmas-eve, Egg Nog, black
strap, &c The chances for any of us
to enjoy Christmas this year are decid
edly doubtful and lemote, and I do
think if Old Abe knew the decided in
convenience in our little social amuse
ments that he is putting us to, he would
surely stop it, ami give ns a show to
have some fun in a little peace. If he
don’t, all we have to say is that if he
will s nd us over some partners we
will have the grandest Christmas Ball
around Centreville that has ever been
in America. We will beat the Prince’s
Ball in New York all to pieces. We
will have the long ball, the round ball,
the minnie ball, the cannon ball, and all
the other sorts of balls combined for
their amusement. But he won’t send
them—they won’t come- they can’t ap
preciate whit’s good no how.
Last Saturday we will always re
member as decidedly the most uncom
promising and outrageously stormy day
that we have experienced in Virginia.
It. did not quite come up to the exquis
ite description of a bad spell, when he
Haiti “it. blew and it anew and it friz,”
but it rained like fury one of your
North-east rains and it blowed like
thunder. Tents were upset scattered,
demolished, ruined and all that sort
o’thing. Men were drenched and al
most blown away, ami as far as a dry
place was concerned, weof the “bloody”
Seventh, were emphatically in (he pre
dicament of Noah’s dove. From Friday
night to 12o’clock Saturday night it con
tinued unintermittedly ami relentlessly,
and the only consolation we had was
that perhaps, this storm which certainly
did not blow us any good, would swamp
Old Abe’s fleet on our coast, and we
confidently expect to hear that many of
his tall ships arc lying on the friendly
sands which stretch forth from Caro
lina’s shore. It is my earnest hope
that that storm swamped one third of
his fleet ami scattered the rest.
For some time the idea of having to
winter here, has engrossed our atten
tion, and surely this slight ta«te we
have had, does not cheer us much when
we think of what the old Ice King will
serve up to us, along in December and
January. Then the wind will blow just
as haul and ten times keener, ami the
rain wdl be transformed to sleet which
freezes as it falls. That’s not very con
soling to a man whose only shelter is a
few yards of (tuckinff, which may be
whirled from its place in an instant, and
leave him exposed with no hole in wl ich
to put his head in. Think of us kind
friends as you set by your cosy fire
sides. We wish the exigencies of the
times would permit us to join your
friendly circles.
, Uncle Jerry Daniell was with us here
in all that storm, and you may be sure
that the driest spot and cosiest nook
was provided tor his comfort. With
the arrival of Uncle Jerry, we are once
more brought under a lively sense of
gratitude to our friends in Georgia by
the numberless articles of utility neces
sity ami comfort which he that indefati
gable, and never tiring Joe, “Our Joe”
the writ.l le Joe Tucker, brought
with their 'io sav that the Cobb Co.,
boys are thankful would be superflu
ous—they are a thousand limes thank
lid. ami over every package as it was
um. >ne, wee I rea bed blessings upon
the gentle hearts the fair Lands and
the unchanging friendship and low,
that thus di>es minister to the wants of
the soldier in his rude and comfortless
home. If nu n would not be true sol
di* is. win n backed by such influences
where could they fight well? And if
tbev cannot devote their liv s frrelv,
when supported and sustained by such
devotion as has been shown to us, when
or how ? could they nerve themselves
to the position. Be sure, dear friends
kind friends —good friends, that the
Cobb County boys know why they fight
—for what they fight, and for whom
they fight, and the roll of history in fu
ture years will tecord that they did their
duty nobly, and without flinching.
I always feel a delicacy in touching
upon personal matters but I hope you
and he will excuse me for a few words
in reference to the course of the Rev.
Jeremiah M. Daniell since the formation
of our company, the “Cobb Mountain
eers.” Before we left Camp Cooper his
kind and unceasing attentions had so
endeared him to us, that by universal
acclaim he was called the “Father of
our Company,” and up to this good hour
if our company is entitled to any res
pect and any honor we ask that in ‘ll
cases his name may be
curs where ever we are named. Im
mediately after the bloody 21st of July,
while those in Georgia who had friends
with us, were still weeping the fallen
and the maimed—by superhuman exer
tions he gathered up the offerings of
our dear ones and came as a m’nistcr
ing friend provided with all that could
add to our comfort or cheer, and we
were overjoyed to greet his kindly face
and hear his cheerful words in the sub
urbs of the bloody Manassas.
Since then the lung summer days
have waned in the short lived sun of
Autumn and we are now standing’ upon
the bounds of the bleak domain of win
ter, and we find him among’ us again,
laden with the supplies his provident
forethought has suggested as necessary
lor our comfort. Such kindness and
devotion are the true tests of patriot
ism and when we see a man who is fast
approaching the age of three score and
ten, leaving his quiet home, and under
going the privations of a journey of a
thousind miles in length, we may have
faith in the justice and holiness of the
cause we are engaged in. A bad cause
never could induce such de\ otion. —
Well may the “.Mountaineers” esteem
him as their father for he has poured
out his money in their behalf like wa
ter, and is still the attentive friend and
cheerful giver ami will tie to the last
dollar Therefore be all honor to the
“Father of our Company”—the Rev.
Jeremiah M. Daniell, and may kind
heaven give many such to the glorious
cause of Southern Independence. The
Cobb County companies are now tolera
bly well fixed to stand the blasts of
rude Boreas whom they dread much
more than they do the Yankees.
The health of the army has generally
improved, and as the mumps and mea
sles have pretty well run their course,
which thank Heaven they can only do
once, we may conclude that (his army
is pretty well seasoned and will sustain
a higher tone of health, than has ob
tained this summer. There is no news
here of any importance whatever and
for the past week the usual supply of
camp rumour has greatly diminished.—
The subject of winterquartcis is attract
ing much more of the attention of the
rank and file than any thing else, for
that is purely a question of peisonal
feeling with every man, and all men
are intensively interested in any thing
that concerns No. 1. The universal
verdict is that we must have winter
quarters or we shall all freeze, and I
suppose our Generals are devoting
some attention to the subject. We
have not heard a word of the enemy fm
week,and ti;cy aresqarcely talked about
in camp at all. They never will come
here to fight us, and herein every one is
convinced We have been told that
I - riday the Ist of the month was the dav
set for their attack upon our lines, but
they failed to make the connection—it
is now rumoured that the 20th is the
day they have set apart in which to
annihilate us. It is .also rumoured that
Gen. McClellan has resigned. These
are all rumours which may or may not
prove true. It would not be very
strange that McClellan should resign
for bis positii n is surely any thing but
satisfactory or agrc< able. He sacri
ficed his ideas of justice open the altar
of ambition, when he accepted that
command for you will remember that
previously to the battle of Manassas he
had applied for a position in the Con
federate service, but the office and
chance of superceding Gen. Scott, was
a glory too bright for his ambitious na
ture to resist. Now he finds himself in
that position so much deprecated by
'Old Failure” in the Mexican War, he
is between two fires, and he finds doubt
less that his new p isition is not unlike
Montezumas or Quetlavaceas) Led of
coals, not exactly a bed of roses. Thus
if McClellan were to risk a general bat
tle with this army he would risk more
than Ceasar did when he crossed the
Rubicon. If he was to fight Gen. John
ston and fail he would be morally po
litically and irretrievably lost and
damned. He knows this, and there’
fore he has evaded a battle. On the
othei hand, were he to succeed in a
battle here, the last ragged remains of
Gen Wingfield Scott’s tattered reputa
tion, would be gone to kingdom come ,
which fact Gen. Scott and his cliqucat
Washington understand completely,
and therefore as 1 before said I expect
Gen. McClellan has been bothered
baulked and kindered by their machina
tions and we should not be surprised
any day to hear that he has resigned.—
I really expect that Geo 8., often wish
es he was back superintending the Ohio
and Mississippi Rail Road. I have a
sympathy for any brave and daring
spirit, and I wish that Gen. McClellan
was in some command where his head
and heart would heartily respond and
aid his natural talents. As it is if he
possesses any of that purity which we
credit him for, he is very sure to come
out of that dirty hole at Washington
much defiled and covered with the slime
of that political pest house.
I believe that Gen McClellan is as
positively sure of being whipped in any
fight with Gen. Johnston’s army, as he
is that he lives, and if he ever docs
fight us, when it is over he will have
more and better excuses for his whip
ping than McDowell and Scott had on
the 21st July. Further than this
deponent saidi not, for as I wrote above
there is really no news stirring here. —
The roads are getting into a very bad
condition in this country, and the sup
plying of forage for this army is getting
to be a job of immense labor, and ruin
ous upon hotseflesh. '1 here will be an
awful destruction of horses if any win
ter campaigns are engaged in here, and
I think I am safe in saying t. at active
operations must be suspended by the
15th December —save upon the lines of
rail road.
The prograrne for this winter’s opera
tions has been discussed in all the pa
pers, so that you are better posted there
than I but here in Virginia it is mani
fest that the blockade of the Potomac
and the destruction of the Baltimore
aad Ohio Rail Road will produce much
suffering in Washington, and there! re
you can see that the two main points of
interest both to us and the Yankees
will be on their side, the opening of the
Potomac and th* re-establishment of the
Rail Road and on our side it will be to
sustain our batter es at Evansport and
Dumfries, and prevent the Rail Road
from being used. This may produce
some nice little fighting along the Po
tomac, and at Harper’s Ferry and Mar
ti nsluil’g. The greatest fear of the 7th
Regiment, is that we shall be ordered
into quarters at Harper’s Ferry for we
had as live be detailed to some
“distant shore”
‘•Or solitary cell”
‘•Where nought but savage monsters roar” &c.
Well we shall see what we shall see
that is one consolation. .
Just In re in this place I wish to say
a word in regaed to the Commissary De
partment of this army and specially of
this Regiment. Our Government has
all been organized “from the stump” as
a backwoodsman would say—within
less th tn a year and is now w irking
I harmoniously in all its parts which is
i a thing unparalled in the history of the
; world. Every department is n>w en
joying a perfection, that ordinarily in
the formation of governments has only
been the production of three or fixe
years. Our army is regularly bounte-
■ ously ami finely fed through the Com
missary Department and there never
■ has been any scarcity only where the
! necessity of forced marches rendered it
' impossible for the troops to draw ra
i tions.
The Commissary Department of our
Regiment is under the control and di
rection of Capt. Win. I’. Wilson of At
lanta well ami favorably known doubt
less to many of the citizens of Marietta,
lie is ever attentive ever kind, and
willing to oblige his fi How soldier, yet
lam sorry to see occasional squibs in
die Atlanta papers, written by men who
are afraid or ashamed to sign their
name? to them, calculated nicely to im
ply by inuendo that this Regiment is
often absolutely upon the point of star
vation all through the fault of Capt.
W ilson, when the fact is that his requ
sitions will show that he has always
drawn and distributed every ounce of
provisions allowed by the government
to this Regiment and no man bar \ r
suffered who was not lou iuz.j . j uuk
wfiat the law allowed him.
Capt. Wilson fought like a hero in the
battle of Manassas and was badly woun
ded, of which wound he is yet Lot well
and I do think in all justice that the au
thors of such articles as I have seen
signed “Eye Witness” and such other
nonis de plume in Atlanta papers are the
most contemptible things that a politi
cal trickster ever descended to use.
It is now late at night, nothing is
heard except the occasional challenge
of sentries, and whilst others sleep I
can send my thoughts back io Georgia
where if 1 have not many I know I
have s<mie true friends, and I waft a
wisli for their happiness and prosperity
and thus transmitting the heartfelt
thanks and compliments < f all the Cobb
boys to their friends and loved ones at
home.
-Io each to all a fair good night”
-With pleasant dreams and slumbers light
And I II io bed—half tight.
Yours ever,

THE AMERICAN QUESTION IN ENGLAND.
By the steamer Persia we have for
eign papeis to the 27th ult :
Great Britan— Sir James Graham
Barone , d ed on the 25 ult at his seat
at Nctherby. Mr Russell’s latest letter
to the Times is dated Oct., 1 Oth. In it
he asserts that persons of weight and
position were again urging on the Pres
ident and his Cabinet the necessity of
an advance, for political reasons. The
writer argues that the South can afford
to play a waiting game longer than the
North.
The Liverpool Post says that Capt. M.
B. Sernmes ofthepi ivateer Sumter arriv
ed at Liverpool in the steamer Edin
burg having shipped at New York under
the name of Captain Burrnister, Royal
Navy.
It is impossible to believe that Captain
Sernmes went out as a passenger in the
Edinburgh. No such name as Captain
Burrnister, R N., appears on the list
of passengers.— \ Eds. N. Y. oom.
Mr. Grautely F. Bcrkely writes very
strongly in favor of the Confederates
in the London Morning Herald and
broadly asserts that tncy are thus far
the victors.
The Manchester Guardian gives
prominence to a communication in
which it is asserted that the South, in
withholding their cotton from market,
are not actuated by a desire to bring
foreign power lo .heir rescue, but de
sire simply to avoid the risks which
won! ’ -’erne tn cotton at the sennorts.

improving.
At Poutofract, on the 23d, Mr. llugh
Childers. M. P., made a speech, from
which wequo’e:
“From the first the English Govern
merit had refused to interfere, but by
recognizing the belligerent rights of the
South they had been denounced as
practically interfering in favor of the
South, liicy had however, very wise
ly insisted upon taking the course first
laid down, and he hoped the time
would never come when the}’ should be
dragged into the war. This war had
removed the idea that, on an outbreak
in the South the slaves would rise and
fight for their liberty. Not only was
this not the case, but the slaves might
no doubt be relied upon as soldiers in
defence of the South.
“As to the result of the war he would
say nothing, but all experience was
against the successful subjugation by
arms of a determined and tree people;
and when they looked at the enormous
extent of the North American continent
he thought they would be bound to say
that, in all human probability, the Un
ion could not be much longer maintain
ed. Their duty, however, must be to
stand by and watch, sympathising with
what was good and tight, but careful
ly avoiding being drawn into any in
terference on one side or the other. If
the South establish their power as a
I separate Confederacy, they must recog
nize it, but let them not anticipate such
an event, ami sacrifice their good faith
and national honor by breaking the
blockade, as some people were recom
mending.”
The Fate of our Privateersmen.—We
have already anounced that Win Smith one
of the privateersmen (prize crew) of the En~
chantress, has been convicted in Philadelphia
of piracy. The New York jury in the ease
of the privateersmen of the ,8 wan Hoy, reported
that they were unable to agree, whereupon
the papers were taken from them, they were
discharged from the further consideration of
the case. The Richmond Whig in noticing the
steps taken to avenge the death of these gal
lant men should they suffer says: On Mondy
lots were required to be drawn by the Colo
nels and Captains who are prisoners to det er
mine first who should be hung in place of the
rivatee already cnovicted and secondly who
should stand as the repaesentative of each of
the other twelve privateers whose cases had
not been disposed of when last heard from.—
It was determind, in advance, that eech o
the ten Colonels in our hand sshould stand for
one of the privateers, and the question to be
settled as to them was, which Colonel should
stand for this or that privateer. With the
Captains there was a larger range, as only
three of them had to be selected fn m a large
number. Colonel Cocoran having been sent
South, Mr. Ely was required to draw for him,
and it so happened that the lot fell to him
(Cui. Cocoran) to die (or the privateer already
found guilty, flis is the only name we have
tpr. o
,ug. ine nine viuer Gviuneis and luree Cap
tains had their places assigned them. As
we have said, we are not furnished with their
names.

From the New York Herald.
WHAT THE YANKEES AT BEAU
FORT WILL DO.
The troops landed at Beanfort will
fortify their position, and, having ob
tained reinforuements will make it a
starting point against the heart of the
rebellion at another day. Beaufort
will become a co 1 ton port, situated as
it is, in the midst of a sea island cot
ton district and the Union men of the
South will be glad to send shipments
there, when they are liberated from the
thraldom of the insurgent chiefs.
“future operations.”
Nor is this the only naval expedition
against the rebel States. There are
two or three others now being sited out
which will be equally successful, and
in ilie course of six weeks or two
months, one hundred thousand men
will occupy all the important points on
the coast; not, perhaps, to make and.
advance into the interior just now, but
as safe bases for future operatioi.s, and
as outlets for the produce of the South
loyalists. and the interchange of North
ern commodities. With Fortress Mon
roe, Hatteras, Beaufort, Pensacola, Key
West, and the other places io be seiz
ed and occupied, in possession of the
Federal army and navy, the rebels will
be surrounded by a cordon of military
points, which will not only completely
cutoff their external communication,
but threaten so many vital points a' the
same time, that their grand army will
be broken up into fragments, and ren
dered powerless without a blow; and
then the time will come for a forward
movement upon Richmond, and the
other capitals of the rebelious States.
the grand denouement.
Thus, with the arrangements just
made by the trade under special in
crease with the Union men of the South
through the ports held by our arms',
with the appointments of such generals
as Buell to Kentucky, and Halleck to
Missouri and the West, and with the
skill and energy of McClellan pervad
ing and animating the whole army, the
era of blunders shall have ceased, and
a new epoch shall have dawned upon
the cause ofthe Union,opening a bright
and glorious page in the history of the
republic.
KE-OPENING SOUTHERN PORTS.
A despatch from Wsshing'on to a
Northern paper says:
Several clerks of the Treasury De
art ment arc engaged in a search for
i storical precedent on the question of
he right ofthe Government to re-open
particular ports during the period of the
blockade of the Southern coast. This
circumstance is regarded here as an
indication of the probable intention of
the Government as to the South.
——
HOW THE Y ANKEEa TR E VT NE
GROES.
The Norfolk “Day Book” has receiv
ed intelligence of shocking cruelties,
practiced upon the negroes who hav< •
recently escaped fr«m the South, ami
are now at Old Point. That paper
says:
Some time since we published a
communication from one of these delu
ded creatures, plainly intimating that
he had been dnptd, and exhorting his
muster to keep a watch upon his chil
dren, who were Southern slaves, and
not to suffer them to make their es
cape, if they desired to - assuring hinn
that Old Point was no place for a
child of his. The brutalities ami
wrongs of which he was the recipient
he would fain have spared his offspring;
and lest the wretchedness of his own
condition might possibly, by their in
discretion, be entailed upon them, be
is urgent in his requests that tiiey be
closely watched, and tiiat no opportun
ity be afforded them to escape.
The details of the brutalities inti
mated by i his negro,as being practiced at
the Point, have come to light, and our
readers will be shocked at their re
cital.
We are credibly informed that the
negroes, who have escaped from their
Southern owners, ami are now at Old
Point, are being put in harness, liktr
so many oxen, ami beneadi the lash of
a cruel and unmerciful ov< rseer, are
forced to do the work of mules, and
haul large quantiiies of stone to the differ
ent works now being built a;, that
place.
So very cruelly are negroes treated
by the abolition masters at the Point
that many of them not only wish them
selves back again, but are making eve
ry eflort to elude the watchfulness of
those placed over them, in order that
they may escape and return to their
homes. Three of them made an attempt
to run away a day or two since. Two
of them belonging to Charles K. Mal
lory, Esq., formerly of Hampton, suc
ceeded in the attempt ; the other one, a
negroes belonging to Mrs. Wyatt, of
Smithfield, was not so fortunate, being
shot by a Federalist who was pursuring
him.
