the enemy However this may be, they
will likely find it unavailing, as our people
now begin to realize that they are at war, and
have got fighting todo. which, judging from
the eagerness displayed by "the boys,” they
will do to perfection if the Yankees will on

Our Volunteers.
The events of the past week have been to
Rome and its vicinity marked with a solemn
and enduring interest. The departure of
our brave Volunteers for the scenes of con
flict, have sorely tried thu loving hearts of
relatives and friends ; and the parting mo
ment has been a severer trial to the soldiers
manhood than will be their conflict with our
country’s enemies.
But, for the present, the sharp pang of
separation is over—the heaving breast and
throbbing heart is still, and now the sad,
but hopeful feeling of patriotic sorrow, is
seen in the resigned faces of those most
nearly and tenderly affected by this tepara*
tion.
Oh. war !—accursed war! The heritage
of a sinful world ! The dire necessity—the
last resort. With all its gloomy horrors star'
ing us in the face, we still, with faith in God
and our cause, with an unfaltering trust —
with an unflinching grasp upon our steel—
cry our ‘Marseilles’: To Arms! to Arms!
ye Brave ! From a legion of stout hearts
and stirring tongues, the response fills our
country’s air. Our whole Confederate land
is but one voice and one faith—and it is with
thankful, earnest pride we point the world
to our own country’s devotion in this sacred
cause.
On Thursday last the departure of the
Floyd Infantry, Capt. Cooper commanding,
brought to our streets the largest assem'
blage of sympathising, patriotic people ever
seen in Rome. They have received the par
ting adieu, and have sinae arrived safe in
Richmond, and may now be engaged in the
deadly conflict.
On Monday evening, the Rome Light
Guards. Capt. E. J. Magruder in command,
left us for Virginia. This company was
more emphatically our city’s pride, from the
fact that most of them were our immediate
citizens, and whose names and faces were to
us familliar as household words.
On yesterday the Milier Rifles, Capt. Tow
ers commanding, took their departure for
the same troubled fields of the Old Domin
ion. Stout hearts and brave men all—may ,
God watch overt hem and bless them. And
these scenes are yet to be repeated, and will
be repeated until Floyd county shall pour
upon the Black Republican legions of the
North at least a Thousand men.
To the People ofthe lOth Congres
sional District.
Ai your representative, it is my duty to
bring to your notice propositions upon the
part of the Confederate States for subscrip
tions in "Military storesand Provisions,”“to
be delivered to Agents of the Governmen
al such time and place as the subscriptions”
shall indicate. Also for subscriptions of'
crops, or such portion as can be convenieni
ently spared, to be placed in Ware houses
and sold, and the proceeds thereof loaned to
the Confederate States for their 8 per cent,
bonds. “The Military stores and provisions”
are also to be paid for in 8 per cent bonds.
This proposition is made by the Govern
ment to avoid, as far as possible, the neces
sity of taxation. Liberal subscriptions upon
the part of our citizens will relieve them in
a very great measure, from taxes. It will
be perceived, by this plan, the Government
sustains its military operations and other
’■'gecessary expenses, and yet pays for every
dollar of stores, &c., which it gets
. The people have come up, almost as one
man, to the fighting that is necessary to de
fend our rights ; will they loan., at good in
terest, enough of their substance, to support
the soldiers who battle for tbei liberties ?
"We are in the midst of a revolution”—
the most important, perhaps, that has occur
red in the history of the world. We are lay
ing the foundations of a new government,
based upon the inequality of the white and
black races. While the former does the
thinking, we propose to make the latter do
the labor. We propose to do this in accor
dance with the fundamental principle of
the right of the people to govern themselves
Our tyrants and would-be masters, say they
will govern us. To do this, they have raised
large armies, and have invaded our soil, and
are butchering, in cold blood, our sons.
Our soldiers will drive them back. Will
those of us who stay at home feed and clothe
them while they do this? I have no doubt
as to the response.
Subscription lists will be found in the
bands of the following gentlemen :
Wade S. Cothran, of Rome,
James Wofford, of Cass,
Robert M. Young, of Gordon,
Jas. Edmundson, of Murray,
John M. Jackson of Whitfield,
Prsley Yates, of Catoosa,
Spencer Marsh, of Walker.
Samuel Hawkins of Chattooga.
As soon as I shall receive more printed
subscription lists from the Treasury Depart
ment, they will be forwarded to gentlemen
in the remaining counties of the district.
I will address my fellow-citizens on the
condition of the country, and the propriety
of its policy, at the places, and on the days
following :
At Cassville, Saturday, June 8, at 11 o’clock.
At Calhoun, Tuesday, “ 11, “ **
At Whitfield, Wednesday, 12, “
At Spring Place. Thursday, 13, “ “
At Ringgold, Friday, “ 14, “ “
At Trenton, Saturday, “ 15, “

For the War!
A company was organised at Van Wert on
Saturday, the 25th inst., for the war—called
the Bragg Rifles. It is expected this com
pany will leave for the seat of war as soon as
orders are received from the War Depart
ment, and the members of the company can
get their uniforms ready.
The following officers were chosen with
great unanimity and good feelings :
Shepperd W. Blance, Captain.
W, N. Strange. Ist Lieutenant,
W. B. Moore, 2d “
John Blalock, 3d “
W. C. Spence, Ist (Sergeant.
J. M. Howes, 2d “
Moses Locklier, 3d “
W. W. Webster, 4th
J. T. Boone. sth “
John Garris, Ist Corporal.
J. M. Heaton, 2d “
Moses Quick, 3d “
I. N. Voila, 4th “
Dr. R. Thompson, Surgeon,
I'crsons desiring to enlist for the wav can- I
not find a more gallant, brave, generous, '
and human otticer with whom to cast their
fortunes, than Capt. Blance.
Recruits will be received for this company I
if application is made eariy.
Should the captaincy become vacant by 1
any contingency, Lieut. Strange possesses ;
every qualification of head and heart to fill
that important station. His company may I
justly feel proud of him. Lieut. Moore hav- |
ing served through the Mexican war, will
be found every way sufficient for his place.
The country will hear a good report from
this company.
Spectator.
P. S.—Great interest is manifested for
this company by the citizens of Polk who
will subscribe liberally for its outfit.
Mr. Editor: 1 notice in the Courier of the
18th inst., a communication from Samuel
Durham in which he complains that he has
been badly slandered by’ some evil disposed
person, and as I have said some things in
relation to his course, it may be that he al
ludes to me, hence 1 feel it to be a duty I
owe myself, as well as the public to state
some facts in relation to the matter. He
denies being an abolitionist. He may not
bo one in the full acceptation of that term.
1 have never said he was. There are various
notions in the country as to what it takes to
constitute an abolitionist. I would like for
Mr. Durham to explain to the community
how it is that he can rejoice at the slaughter
of his own countrymen, by the abolitionist,
and yet not be one at heart. When the
rumor came here that 500 of our men were
killed at the taking of Fort Sumpter, he
said in my presence, and in the presence of
others, that he was glad of it and wished
that it had been 5000 instead of 500. Since
then he has been heard *o pray in public
that the Lord would remember and bless
all brave soldiers such as Maj. Anderson,
calling him by name. How can he consider
that there is nothing wrong in this. We
think it goes for to show that his feelings are
with the enemy. Before the secession of
Georgia, he said if she did secede he would
leave the State. I told him that he had bet
ter leave then and proposed to contribute
50 cents, to help him off. Georgia is out,
would it not be well for him to cut out, —
This may not constitute him an abolitionist,
yet we think such feelings and sentiments
are not and ought not to be healthy in this
climate. James Wood.
From the London Press.
England and live Southern Con
federacy.
I'he hour is at hand when when a new
power will take its place among the States of
Christendom. The British Government has
just made a formal recognition of the King
dom of Italy, and already Commissioners
from another new State are on their way to
claim a similar recognition of accomplished
facts. The Government of the new South
ern Confederacy of America has dispatched
three Commissioners to obtain from the
leading States of Europe the recognition of
their country as an independent power, and
to negotiate with them commercial treaties
on the footing of reciprocity. These Com
missioners are now crossing the Atlantic, and
in little more than a week they will arrive
to important mission at the
Court of St. James. A Minister at the Brit
ish Court has, at the same time, been ap
pointed by the Cabinet at Washington, to
represent the views of President Lincoln,
and wili arrive almost simultaneously with
the rival mission from Montgomery.
The Southern States are confident as to
success and their confidence is well found
ed. The principle of the British Govern
ment is to recognise every de facto govern
ment, and the government of the Southern
Confederacy, is as much an accomplished
fact as is the Kingdom of llaly. The Nor
thern State—the old Union —may not re
cognise the new Confederacy, any more than
Austria recognise the Kingdom of Italy;
but they have made no attempt to eesist its
establishment, and if they do make such an
attempt they will assuredly fail. Our Gov
ernment has no chaice in this matter. We
have no desire to see any undue haste in the
recognition of the new power. Our Govern
ment. out of courtesy to the Cabinet of
Washington, may delay its answer for a few
days, un.il it is fully apprised of the views
and intentions of President Lincoln. But
any longer delay than is absolutely neces
sary is most to be deprecated.
We would not say it would unseemingly
that England, who so readily recognizes all
govenments, should be behind Erance in ac
knowledging a State of her own kindred.—
It is enough for us that the Cabinet at Mont
gomery is a de facto Government, and accor
dingly entitled to be recognized by us as an
independent power, with whom diplomatic
relations have to be establi-hed and commer
cial treatise negotiated.
The recognition of the Southern Confed
racy cannot be avoided, nor do we desire to
avoid it. The regret of the English people
at the rupture of the American Union, was
a feelling most honorable to them, and
which testified, in a most striking manner,
the attachment and good will of the parent
nation to Its noble offspring beyond the At
lantic. The regret was genuine and univer
sal, and yet the calamity to Union which we
deplored, was evidently favorable to our own
interests, both political and commercial.—
When the house is divided against itself,
Brother Jonathan can nojlonger bully us, as
with generous patience we have so often per.
initted him to do. And also, with the estab
lishment of a Confederacy of pure agricultu
ral States in the south, the restrictive tariff
of the old Union, and the still more restric-
I tive one recently adopted, will no longer
sufice to prevent the entry of our manufac
tures into the American Continent. Free
Trade, pure and simple—free trade of the
most absolute kind, is opened to us by the
new Confederacy, not as a bait—though it
is a powerful one—but because such a com
mercial system is of all others most in ac
cordance with its own interests. Even our
shipping interests will benefit largely by
this change in the political organization of
North America; for the Cabinet of Wash
ington will find it hard to maintain its pre
posterous assertions that the maritime traf
fic between New York and California is a
portion of its coasting trade.
Proclamation—To the People of the
Confederate States.—When a people who
recogenize their independence upon God,
feel themselves surrounded by peril and dif
ficulty, it becomes them to humble them
selves under the dispensation of Divine
Providence, to recognize His righteous gov
ernment, to acknowledge His goodness in
times past, and supplicate His merciful pro
tection for the future.
The manifest proofs of the Divine Bless
ing hitherto extended to the efforts of the
people of the Confederate States of America
to maintain and perpetuate public liberty,
individual rights and national independence
demand their devout and heartfelt grati
tude. It becomes them to give public man
ifestation of this gratitude, and of their de
pendence upon the Judge of all the Earth,
and to invoke the continuance of His favor.
Knowing that none but a just and righte
ous cause can gain the Divine favor, wo
would implore the Lord of Hosts to guide
and direct our policy in the paths of right,
duty, justice and mercy, to unite our hearts
and our efforts for the defence of our dear
est rights; to strengthen our weakness ;
crown our arms with success, and enable
us to secure a speedy, just and honorable
peace.
To these ends, and in conformiW with the I <
request of Congress, 1 invite the*eople of j ]
the Confederate States to the observance of I
a day of fasting and prayer, by such religi
ous services as may be suitable for the oc- I 1
casion, and I reccommend Thursday, the 1 i
13th day of June next, for that purpose; ,
and that, we may all on that day, with one j ,
accord join in humble and reverential ap
proach to Him in who-e hands we are, in
voking Him to inspire us with a proper spir- :
: t ami temper of heart and mind to bear
our evils, to bless us with His favor and pro- I i
tection, ami tc> bestow his gracious benedic
tion upon our Government ami country.
(Signed.) Jefferson Davis.

DENTAL CARD.
Dr. J. B. MURPHY
3 Respectfully calls the
if ixM’ra attention of those
j"./ //Ar) w anting artificial
teeth to u new style of
work being now cx
‘rC tensively used North
hi and South, by the bes
Qy '' Dentists in the coun-
try, and highly re
conmended bv those who have worn it for four
years and wh., claim for it advantages over a
ot I, PV lundsof bases for artificial work son eof
which are its perfect adaptation t” . lbe gu«S,
the certainty of a perfect fit, and the lightness of
the work, ‘its superior strength and elastici y,
absence of all joints and crevices for the reten
tion of food, render it more pleasant to bo worn,
and easier to be kept clean. Having purchase!
the right to use the above, I can cheerfully le
commend it to those who may need Dental su str
tutes, and I am now prepared to insert full oi
partial sets, at the shortest notice, and at. halt
to one-third less than the price charged for gold
plates. Entire satisfaction warranted.
The following letters arc from gentlemen who
have used this style of plate for a long time .
My opinion is, that there is nothing sweeter,
easier, or better in the mouth, than the vulcanite
teeth. Gold or any metallic teeth are just as in
inferior to them as a copper plate would bo infe
rior to gold. Eev. J. G. Miller.
If I could not again be supplied with such a set
of vulcanite teeth as Dr. Belding & Son h^ ve
made for me, I would not sell mine for a. million
dollars. They arc better than any metalic plate
ever made. Silas Knapp.
