Both bouses have since passed it over the veto. [communicated.) Ed. Advocate —I see that you have taken the correct xicw of “legislation for the benefit, of the people” about to be inaugurated by our over patriotic law makers. It will indeed be a sad I day for us, when our Governor’s and Legislator's take upon themselves either to enlarge or restrict trade ; to build up or destroy monopolies ; to increase sup ply or diminish demand ; for history teaches us that whenever or wherever attempted, it has failed of its purpose, and operated to weaken the confidence of the people in the government. I understand the object of this strange. I might say peculiar Georgia Legislation is to destroy monopolies. If this be so they should not forgot, that in all com mercial speculations as the purchaser does not buy for his own consumption he proportions his purchases to what he expects to sell. Since then the quanti ty he can sell depends on the price he nells at he will buy less according as the price rises and more according as it falls ; this I may say is the univ :rsal law of trade as evidenced in every com mercial community, and to vary it by law is certain death to trade. In un nettled times objects of the commonest use may exceed the means ot the con sumer, i e., shoes may be cheap yet out of the reach of many, because leather does not fall to a level with the means of the people. Ought the law making power therefore to oblige me to go bare foot, who am able to pay the prices charged by the tanner, because my neighbor happens to be poorer than 1 am, by throwing around the manufac turer such paines and penalties as will close his vats and stop bis currying knife. Not so. Government was in tituled to secure the citizen in the en joyment of 1 oth political and personal rights. And whatever he may acquire by dint of superior intelligence indus try and perseverance in the prosecution of a legitimate busin ss or calling is peculiarity his, and any intcrferance on the part of government is destructive of these rights lessens his affection and confidence in his rulers and prepares him for any change in government how ever despetic with a hope that under it, personal ami private rights may be respected. The value of an article is what it will bring in the market. If the price of this article is fixed by law •below the charges of its production it t once is discontinued, for no one is ■willing to labor for a loss, and he who lived before by the production of this article must of necessity perish. The establ shment of fixed rates is a ■suppression of a portion of pr< d action and consumption, in other words a di .munitiunof the prosperity of the com ■munity which consists in production and consumption. Let a scarcity of corn cotne, the price, rises in consequence, •yet the laborer or mechanic may by re doubling his exertions or by increasing his wages procure his accustomed sup ply at the market price. In the mean lime the legislature fixes corn at half it* natural or market price, what fol lows ? 1 who had supplied myself and would have bought no more hud it re tnattKsl at its market value out of su prrfluotiscaution, and to take advan'age <»f its cheapness, get the start of the la borer and add to my own stoic what would, in the natural course of trade have gone to the laborer. I have by oj>- eration oflaw and capacity to buy. taken a doubl? share ami leave the mechanic destitute. He then has to work for me .at my prices, for labor, not corn, or per ish at his anvil. The sale is no longer regulated by wants and means, but by superior activity of traders. Under this rule you fore** every man to become a trader, who has means If this be true, fixed prices gives us a scarcity in- Rtcad of plenty. 1 hold this to be true s law that fixes the price of things is nugatory and serves only to alarm pro ducers and consumers, deranges the natural proportion bt t ween production and demand, which it left to itself, would . work out beneficially tor both, am! if th? many would be followers <»! Lycur ' gus assembled at Milledgeville will at tentively read history and think before acting, they will leave the prices of '‘T t'Fv w »r■’ to f •v'-m th'-no**»lve« THE MARIETTA SEMI-WEEKLY ADVOCATE I could but deem it un necessary to demonstrate the utter absurdity of the T de of profit fixed by this bill, but de sist feeling satis led that sensible peo ple and probably one or more members of our Legislature do. Lincoln’s war, and a determination to be popular, seems to have bereft our legislators of the little law making sense they went to Milledgeville with. Duval. “NUMBER ONE,” Os all the great men on this wide earth—of all the patriots, generals, statesmen, and philanthropists, the bra vest, the most patriotic, the most devo ted, the most unselfish, the most beuevo lentis he calling himself “Number One.” True, he fellows Burn’s advice. ‘•He keeps himself, as well's he can, From critical dissection, But peeps through every other man, With sharpened, sly inspection.” But that’s his vocation and it is “no sin lor a man to labor in his vocation.” Some mighty magnate in the State, or some little great man, theoretically the servant, practically the master of those who elected him, gets an idea into his knowledge-box, that it would be a good and popular thing to interfere with the regular course of trade in some par ticulars. Accordingly he seizes, with out authority of law and on his own responsibility, the people’s goods and says he is going to appropriate them to the public. He t ikes private property for “public uses” though it is hard to tell how the public is to be benefitted, when a stop is thus put not only to sell ing but eventually to buying. The act is popular however. A good many peo ple sh ut Hosannah, forgetting that “the poisoned chalice may be commend ed to their own lips.” The officer ex pects higher advancement from the ma jority, and he looks out for “Number One.” What business have a small minority of property owners with rights? Well done I says the usurer, all specu lation in all property other than mine and by myself, should be crushed out 1 only ask twenty per. cent imerest for my moony. I don’t deal in dry-goods or groceries, I am no speculator, but I believe in taking care of “Number One.” Good ! says the farmer, I have a lot of bacon left over from last season, for which 1 ask only 35cents a pound, thrice what it cost me. But lam no specula tor- lam “Number One.” Down with all speculators 1 Good ! says the tanner, I consume salt, coffee, whisky, &c., but I produce leather, which I sell at thrice the prices of six months ago, but 1 buy hides at a very small advance on old prices No body hurt yet but the salt speculator, and with me, he is Number i'wo. I say ditto to that, says the shoe-man, though the farmer to me is only Num ber Three. Good 1 says the miser, I drew from the banks before they suspended, and have hoarded up some hundreds in gold and silver, buried in old shot bags in my cellar. I expect the time when specie will be worth 20 per cent in cur rency, when it gets higher, 1 shall sell I look out for “Number One.” lam no speculator —perdition to them, they made me pay nine dollars tor the very salt they bought at seven. Good ! says the weaver, our Gover nor did right ! To be sure I sell for 32 cents per pound, in cloth, the very cot ton for which I paid 8 cents, buttnat is not speculation - not at all, 1 only take legitimate advantage of the market - “Number One” is my man. Good I says the legislators, the Gov ernor has done one class of speculators “Brown,” let us out do him and burn all speculators to cinders. Let us enact that no man shall sell his own p r operiy, except at our prices. Every body will be so glad to see every body else scorched, that, one way or nher, the majority will be with us. Even if ev ery man curses a little at his own par ticular grievance, lie will be consoled for his own little misfortunes by con templating those of his neighbors.— You see my boy, says the lit notable .Mephistophiles I rick’em, to the young, handsome, eloquent, promising ami Honorable member from Half.acre coun ty, it’s going to be popular, and we’ll get re-elected upon it. That’s the t ck et, my boy. Take a drink ! Here’s suc cess to “Number One.” And so on to die end of the chapte . Well, it is not surprising that human nature is very much like porcine nature with i slight difl', rence in favor of the latter, as is dubiously supposed, in the small article oi sou/#. A depred it ing pig gets hitched in a fence, his squeals call together all of his name and species for a mile round, they rush to the alarm from every direction and im mediately orgauiz ■ a mass convention. You had no business trying clandes tinely to get at those nubbins, through such a narrow crack, says (or might say) one. Serves you right, says an other, trying to inonoplize what was in tended for ail out community. Forth with one seizes the tail others the hind legs ami the poor victim of bis own speculation is torn to p’ecos —a sacri fice, to the pitiless, selfishness of his porcine “fellow-citizens,” —everyone ot whom would have done as the sufferer did, had thep espied the crack, judged it large enough to creep through and the speculation a profitable one. The victim can’t understand the point of the * argument, uot Injustice ot his condem nation. but the majority can, and that's suffi.ieiit. From all wh ch we conclude that a pig is a speculative animal ••• ♦hough abhor* profitable specr.latien in others, like his human, “fellow-crea ture” and without attempiing to defend extortion and the grasping capacity which has disgraced the operations of some monoplists, whose proceedings we conmm:i and suffer by as much as any, and regret that an opportunity, which appears to have been inevitable, was offered for extortion, yet we would ex hort all those who are disposed to con demn others to examine themselves, and answer candidly if they would not do the same, under similar circumstances and like opportunities. It they consci entiously answer that they would not take the best price they could get for their property, then are they justly en titled to cast at their weaker brethren the first stone. —Chronicle & Sentinel. EFFECTS OF THE INVASION OF THE SOUTHERN COAST—WHAT THE COMMERCIAL, WORLD WILL LOSE BY THE LINCOLN RAID. We find the following interesting letter, containing many painful and startling truths, in the Columbia “Caro linian,” of the 21st: Charleston, Nov. 19, 1861.—Edisto Island is nearly laid in ruins. Mr. J. J. Mikel, Mrs Hopkinson, and Mr I. Legare, have all burned their entire crops —nearro houses, barns, &c., and at a meet ng of the planters this has been universally determined on. The same spirit actuates the owners of all the Sea Island plantations. I fully expect to hear that the entire Sea Is land crop es this State will meet a sim ilar fate. None will be saved, for all is in the fields or gin-houses; thus twenty thous. and bales the product of this State amounting to two millions five hun died housand dollars, will be destiey ed by the hands of proprietors them selves, rather that: it shall fall into the possession of our vandal enemies, and. I have no reason to believe that Geor gia will pursue any oilier course. Her people are as noble and self-sacrificing as ours. The Sea Island crop of last year was estimated at forty thousand bales, and this year the favorable seas ons made the planters calculate on for-, tyfive thousand bales. Should the vandals over run Florida, and make any demonstration on the Sea Island producing portions of that State, yon may expect, the planters there to follow our example, and thus will the entire fine staple crop of this Con federacy be totally destroyed, estima ted n value ut SIOO to $l5O a bale, from four to five millions; but this is not all. The cultiva ion of this article will not be resumed while the war lasts It is known to you that the seaboard of South Carolinia, Georgia and Florida are the only regions of the earth where fine and extra fine cotton, termed long staple can be successfully produced. Now, the production of this article is indispensable to the manufacturers of Boton, Lancashire, and many other of the districts in England, France, Ger many and Switzerland. 1 here is no substitute for it, and the lace and silk spinners will led the blow even more severely than we, who only sacrifice our incomes and our luxuries; they have, besides their mills to keep in working order and occupied, a large number of operatives to feed, and these people are not easily managed when thrown out of employment. There is much trouble in England, growing out of Earl Russell’s idea that slavery is a wrong and against the sentiments of England, and therefore, acting on this principle it were better to exterminate the institution of slave ry and the South, rather than acknowl edge our just independence, which would insure the prosperity of her peo ple even through the Yankee govern* ment go to war foi so doing. I hope our people will remember the course England has assumed against us, and when we can let us express our senti men is freely I see no hope for the raising of the blockade while Earl Rus sell occupies the Government, but I d > look in time for a change in public sen tinieir so strong that Derby will take the reins, and the justice we seek be no longer denied us. The weather is cold and winterish, yet the body of the people are calm and determined. Ihe sacrifices our fore’ fathers made during the first Revolu tion will cheerfully be endured again.— W c will fight and conquer the Yan kee vandals on our soil, even th mgh we fight them without shoes cr cloth ing- -. * . Tennessee on the Prosrcution of the Wak—A > Proposition for a Restoration or Re-con strvetion to be Entertained -fhc tollowing resolutions, relating to South ern independence, wire offered in the lower branch ol the Tennessee Legisla ture on tqe 16th : Resolved, That it is the sense of this General Assembly that the separation of those St ites now forming the Confed erate States of America from the United States, is and ought to be final, berpet ual and irrevocable, and that Tennessee will, under no circumstances, en ertain anv proposition from any quarcr which rn-y have for i s object a rest ’ration or reconstruction of the late Jnion, on anv terms or conditions whatever. Resolv'd, I hat the war which the United states are waging upon the Gen erate states should be prosecuted on our part with the utm >-t vigor and energy, until our in iependrnee and nationality are uncondition illy ac knowledged by the United States. Res deed. That Tenuesso pledges her self to her sister States of the Uonfed eraev. Tmt she w.l! sfa’-ui H them throughout the struggle ; and she will contribute all the means which her re sourceswill supply, so far as the same may be necessary, to the support of the common cause, and will not consent to lay down arms until peace is estab lished on the basis of the foregoing resolutions. THE COMING SE*MON OF THE U.S. CO VGRESS—EFFICIENCY OF THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC—OPEN ING TRADE WITH THE SOUTH. “Ion,” the special Washington cor* respondent of the Baltimore Sun, wri ting under date of the 22dinst., says: The approaching session of the Con gress will no doubt be protracted into the summer mouths notwithstanding the desire of members to spend their time and wages at home and the cred it they might cl aim of a month’s ser vice already at the extra session. The business of the session will be as im portant as it will be novel. L will open a new era in the history of the country, and perhaps determine its site for some time to come. The* extent of the operations of the war will demand much attention, and a number of inves tigations into its incidents will be necessary. Several committees ap pointed at the late session will make their reports, and others will be ap pointed. Foreign complications may arise, and require attention. The char acter and objects of the war may un dergo an essential change, for already there exists a large party that favors the prosecution of the war tor the pur pose of emancipating slaves. It is just four months since the bat* tie of Bull Run, and tlvuight it is not to be signalized by an advance, yetexe ry one seems to be convinced, Gy the splendid review of the grand army of the Potomac that the preparations re quisite lor a movement are complete.— Ihe rumor that the Confedera e army on the Potomac was disorganized is quickly followed by another that it is re-organized. The two armies face each other and are almost in sight. Which will move forward first is the question, for neither will retreat. As to winter quarters, the Federal troops on the other side of the Potom ac have already much improved their accommodations. Their tents are com fortable by log ami clay basements, ami many of tuem have some sort of a fire-place. If, say some of the officers the troops be inform cd that they are to remain where they are, thev will soon make their quarters tolerable, with the means they have at hand, in logs, brushwood, clay, empty barrels, &c. Complaints are made in some quar ters of the project oi Senator Simmons for furnishing tne enemy with salt, su gar, coffee, &c., in exchange for cotton. It is objected that the Government policy is to deprive he Conleder ites of such necessaries. There is no dan ger, however, at present, that much comme.ee will be opened with them.— All the cotton that we obtain must be taken by force, if, indeed, it Can be forced in any large quantity. From I ybee.—The steamer Ida, which arrived from below yesterday afternoon, brought no news ot interest from iybee. We understand that the enemy landed a regiment of die Island ycsteiday af ternoon, and that there are probably fifteen hundred to two thousand troops now encamped there. Seven vessels are inside of the bar, but none were in sight outside yesterday afternoon The troops on the island are said to be throwing up earthwork? and en trenching > hemselves Since the shell ing affair on Wednesday they keep at a respectable distance from the Fort in the day tiine.--»Sl/va/?n-7i News, 29z/i. The Memphis Avalanche says an officer in the late fight at B linont, ex presses it as his opinion that the exten sive reports about the concentration of troops at Cairo, and their prospective attack on < olumims, is all ’n ended as a feint, and that the real point of attack is Bowling Green. m*. TAFSTAY LAW AND BANK RELIEF AC r. Both houses have concurred in the re-enactment of the bill for the relief of the people, known as the Stay Law, and it has been signed by the Governor. The House yesterday passed the Bank Relief Bill, and the Senate met last night for its consideration, and doubtless concur red, so as to avoid any possible incon venience to the banks from the expira tion of the provisions of tin.* old act. — I'he act as it p tssed the House requires the banks to pay on treasury notes at par when called for by bill holders in sums of SIOO, and also requires the banks to issue change bil's to the a— mount of 1 per cent on their capital stock, after Januarv next.

FIGS—A fre lot just received by ROVFB BETNFP From the Comptroller General’s Report. The Regiments of Volunteers in the Ser vice of the Confederate Government. While reporting the expenses of our State for Military purposes—although not required by law, yet I desired if it was possible to do so, to present the organization of the various Regiments of Volunteers received into the service by the Confederate States Government —that is, to give the name of the Colonel, Lieutenant Colonel, Major, and the Captains and Lieutenants of Companies in each Regi ment, the counties from which each Company came, and, also the number of each Regiment as given it by the Confederate Slates Govern ment. As much of this information could only be obtained from the Wer Department at Rich mond, I have used my best exertions to obtain the same from that point, without success. I have only been enabled to get an official state ment of the numbering of the various regi ments, reported or received at that Depart ment, up to the Ist of October, together with the stations ot the Regiments named. As the num Iters of many of the Regiments are different from those given them when they left Georgia, and as in all reports of the Con federate officers, they will only be designated and kdswn by the numbers given them by the Confederate Government, 1 have conclud ed to submit the information received upon this point, which is as follows: List of Regiments from the State of Georgia in the service of the Confederate States, and their stations, Oct. 1, 1861.

Besides several independent companies in Virginia not yvt organized into Battalions or Regiments. Although in the above statement Col. Ben ning’s Regiment is put down as at Lynchburg, yet for several weeks past it has been at Ma nassas, and Col. Wright’s third Regiment has lately been at Roanoke Island. N. C. I have only added to the statement received, t' e word “Independent” opposie those Regiments that were received by Confederate Govern ment directly, and not not through our Ex ecutive The Regiment alluded to in the foregoing statemeiit, as “not reported,” &c., no doubt are. Col. T J. Warthen’s Regiment, “ Levi B. Smith’s “ “David J. Bailey’s “ “ Littlefield “ now in Camp of Instruction in Georgia. In addition to these, t ere is another, more than full Regiment cominrnded by Col. Cary W. St.le" stationed at Brunswick Georgia in the service of Confederate States’Govcrnment. Also three “ledependeot Regiments” not yet full, but in camp in Georgia, viz: Col. Win. 11. Stiles Rcgi’t, 5 Companies, Col. E. L Thomas “ 7 Col. Aug. R. Wrignt “ 6 Also, Col. C. A. Lamar “ 7 Received by the Confederate Goverrnment through State authority. Besides these there already three Hegi rnents in the service of the State, on or m ar the coast to be increased to six Regiments within the next twenty days, for the purpose of protecting the seaboard of Georgia. Thus it will be seen that our State has at this time thirty-four full Regiments, (some mor<‘ than full) and four partially filled Regi mei G, together w ith three Battalions, and other independent companies in Virginia and Georgia, amounting in all to about forty Reg iments iu the C ntederate Government ser vice. And besides this there are three Regi ments now the State service to be increased to six Regiments within the next twenty days for the defence of her seacoast. Os the Regimeets and Battalions in the Confederate Government service. Georgia has armed accoutred and equipped twenty cne Regiments three Battalions, and several Companies attached to full Regiments — 'll of which accourtements, equipments, itc., and a portion of the arms, have been paid for out of the $1,000,000 appropriation, as will be seen in the Abstract accompanying this Report, and from the Reports of the Quarter-masters General.
