attention from some point of importance to 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 ly give them a chance. Skt Weekly Southerner, i Rome, Gra.: Thursday Morning, May 30. GEO. T. STOVALL, Editor jtgy- See third page for Local Items and late news. 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, “ Will the papers of the 10th District please copy. Augustus R. Wright. Communicated. 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.

The New York Times says that the inhab itants of Alexandria were sullen and dissat isfied. Fortifications were erecting there, inclu idng the river bank, a mile long and seven feet high. Louisville, Kv., May 27.—Garnett Davis and his friends rely mainly on the Constitu tional guarantee, that the citizens have the right to bear arms. The indications are, that most of the arms will fall into the hands of persons who will not use them under any circumstances, to fight in Lin coln’s cause, but will use them to sustain Kentucky in an absolute neutrality, or in case that is impossible, in defence of their homes and freedom, and the South. The introduction of arms into Louisville, is con firmed. These arms are said to be in the county jail, subject to the order of Ken tucky’s legitimate authorities.
