BY A. F. LEONARD.
AlK— Friend of my Soot.
Land of tbe South! the fairest laud.
Beneath Columbia's sky!
Proudly her hill* of freedom stand.
Her plain* in beauty lie.
Her dotted fields, her traversed streams
Their annual wealth rcuew.
Laud of the South • in Slightest dreams.
No dearer spot we view.
Men of tho South! A free-born race.
They vouch a patriot Hue;
’ Ready the foeman'a van to face..
And guard their couutry * shrine.
By sire nnd sou a huloiug light
Through time is borne along
They “nothing ask but whut i* right*,.
And yield to nothing wrong*"
of the citizens of every section of the
Union. Equality of sovereignty, equal
ity of rights, and equality of protection
are all that the South ever demanded.
She has borne much, and endured,.- ,
long, but he, sU-rn_(l.eree has Mins,
gone forth, that with less -than-these “ ™
she will never be content. In the hope
of a returning sense of justice on the
part of the people of the Northern
States, and for the sake of the Union,
the South has long subtni ted to unjust :
Congressional legislation, which has
plundered her of mtllions of dollars
annually, to build up and enrich her
Northern Confederates.
Southern industry has been taxed
lor the benefit of Northern interests,
until our confederates there, sustained
by out bounty, anil pampered by our
liberality, have grown rich and haughty.
Not content with all the advantages
afforded them by our tariff acts, navi
gation laws and other legislation, in
tended to tax us for their benefit, they
have even grown insolent, and despite
our frequent warnings and remon
strances, have assumed to exercise tbe
right of regulating our domestic a (fairs
according to their own notions of pro
priety. Not only so, but they have
assumed to themselves exclusive own
ership and control over the whcle ter
ritory of the Union.
When Southern hlood and Southern
valor had won a rich domain, and add
ed it to the common territory, Un
appropriated it all to their own use,
and insisted on excluding the sons of
the South from all participation in it,
unless they vould consent to occupy
it upon terms of inequality. Wc de
manded an equal participation in the
common property. They refused to
allow it. We then offered to divide it,
by a line, giving them much the larger
portion. They spurned the offer, and
by superior numbers in Congress, at
tempted to drive us fioin every inch of it.
Nor was this all ; a portion of ti.eir
number invaded the soil of a Southern
sister State, and attempted to incite
insurrection and rebellion, a d with
fire and sword, to spread devastation
and ruin over the fair fields of our na
tive South. A powerfufcjpolitical party
sympathising with this outrage and
even deifying the demons who perpe
trated it, planting itself upon a freesoil
platform, and adopting for its watch
word, Northern superiority and South
ern inequality, has trampled down our
friends in the Northern States, proudly
triumphed over us at the ballot box, _
and then taunted us with its arrogance j
about Northern strength and Southern :
weakness.

Nay, more, they threaten to vindicate

cannon and the point ot the bayonet.
X ou have rallied, s ddiers, to meet
them upon this ground and if necessary
to drive them hack by force of arms.
Xou are not called, however, to meet
them upon the soil ol Georgia, for we
are proud to know that no federal troops
desecrate her soil, and no federal flag
waves over any portion of her territory.
XX e not only occupy our own forts
and arsenals in Georgia, but by virtue
of the moral power which sleeps in
those stalwart arms of yours, you have
enabled me, as your Executive, to ex
tort respect for our State even from
our enemies, and to compel the public
officers of a great free-soil State, who
had plundered one of your fellow-citi
zens, to make prompt restitution.
Wc must not forget, however, that
some of our sister Confederate States

States. The public will find in this
Circular additional infonnation touch

By Circulars and other official pub
lications by the Treasury Depaitmcnt,
the public has had ample opportunity
to become familiar with all the facts,
and detailed regulations connected
with this question. The Press has al
so lent its influence in this matter, an 1

Sir :—I am directed by the Secreta

Tilt following beautiful Hues are from tbe pea
of Charles Chauuccy Uurr, sis has very few
oquals in adroitly turning a coapliment to tho
ladies:
My sweet lady fell aaleep •'
Upon a bank of flowers.
Where the dewy odors keep
Their sweets with looming showers.
The honey bee comes there aud sips,
And oil this doubt discloses—
“Are tho roses there her lipa ?
Or are her lipa tho ruses !”
....Life, to most of as. » only a
great struggle for bread and meat.
....Foolish.—To believe anything
a fool says on tbe firat of April.
....First n fine gown, ansi then a
Cue man to admire it, is the order of a
woman's wishes.
B it one of tbe two alternatives was
left. We must cling to the Union and
be slaves in it, or wc must sunder its
ties and live freemen out of it. We
cbose tho latter, and seven gallant
Southern States have resumed the
powers delegated to the Federal Gov
ernment, which has been so wantonly
abused by it. Sovereign and inde
pendent as each then was, they all met
in Convention, and have formed a new
Confederacy upon the basis of the old
Constitution, making such modifications
only, as the experience of three quar
ters of a century had shown to be ab
solutely necessary, and sueh as might
have preserved the old Union perpetu
ally, had they been incorporated into
the old Constitution, and faithfully car
ried out in practice bj the Government.
The wisdom of these changes is so
apparent to air, that even our enemies
are obliged to acknowledge tbe supe
riority of our statesmanship and sa
gacity.
The revolution is complete! A new
nation is born! Civil and religious-
liberty are established 1 A government
of equality exists! And a statesman
and a warrior of splendid intellectual
powers, great prudence, commendable
caution, anti enlarged experience, who
has won by his valor in the field, and
his wisdom in the Senate, _a reputation
which has extended far beyond tbe
limits of our continent, lias been called
to watch over this infant giant in its
tender years. XVho is not proud to
rally around the flag of his country,
when Jefferson Davis directs the sword,
and presides over the Cabinet ? But I
must not forget that Georgia’s great
statesman, whose brilliant intellect,
clear head anti pure heart, and tloquent
tongue have excited for him the plaud
its of freemen, and the admiration of
civilized men everywhere, occupies the
second place in the Councils of the
Confederate States. I might refer with
pride to the Cabinet, with the giant of
Georgia intellect at its head, but I for
bear. With the blessings of Heaven
upon us, and with such men as Davis,
Stephens and Toombs at the helm,
who can fear the result of the voyage ?
But why are you here, soldiers ? Is
il for the purpose of invading the 1crri-
tory of the Uuited States, or plundering
their people ? No. We are not the
aggressors. We rally only in defence
of Southern homes, Southern firesides
and Southern altars, which are threat
ened with invasion and destruction.—
We deprecate war, but if war in forced
upon us, we are prepared for it, and
when once commenced, we swear by
our altars it shall never terminate till
those who provoked it shall bc the
greatest sufferers by it In its prose-
iorc, that you have been ca;.cd to arms,
and most nobly have you responded
lo the call. Fifteen thousand other
brave volunteers, w th aims in their
hands, will stand ready, at a moment’s
warning, 'o march to sustain you, and
fifty thousand .store will respond when
ever their s'rvicesare needed. Sol
diers, you n;e now soon to pass from
my command,- nnd leave for a time the
territory of our beloved old State.—
XVoulti that I could accompany you,
and share your toils, and participate
with yo I in your glory! My whole
soul is in this movement, and my heart
swells with emo ions which 1 cannot
utter, when 1 am obliged to bid you
adieu, aad return to my field of labors
elsewhere. But you, in common with
ihe people of Georgia, have assigned
me other duties than those which yoj
are now called to perform, anti I must
obey your behest, and discharge them
to the best cf my ability.
As I am n >t permitted, therelore, tc*
go with you, I im.st commit to your
hinds, upon the field,the flag ofGeor
gia, anti the honorof ( corgia. In your
custody I know that the one will ever
I wave victorious, and the other will
i never be tarnished. While the eyes of
a million of persons in j corgia will be
anxiously turned towards you, the
prayers of our churches, our mothers,
our wives, our daughters, and our sis
ters will constantly attend you. None
will con template"} our defeat, but the
hearts of all will leap .with joy at your
success.
Take, then, that flog in your hands,
and remen her that, in presence of tlai
vast audience, l here commit the honor
of Georgi i to you: keeping.
Go, then, and may the God of bat
tles go with you ; and lead, protect and
defeud you, till the last foot-print of the
invader shall lie obliterated from the
soil of our common country,
Big Guns.
The Charleston C wrier compiles
for the.use of its military readers the
subjoined items from a work on heavy-
artillery, published by a boartl of army
officers, of which Major Anderson was
a member:
There are four kinds of heavy aitil
iery in the land service,viz: The Gun,
the llovvilzcr, tlie Mortar and the Col-
umbtad, anti they, arc distinguished
according to their use, as Seige, Gar
rison untl Sea Coast Artillery. To
serve a heavy piece with facility re
quiris five men, though in cases of
emergency they can be worked with
efficiency by four, and ev en by three
men. A larger number of shots can
be fired in rapid succession with less
injury to iron guns than to brass ones.
It is computed that an iron gun will bear
twelve hundred discharges, at the rate
of twelve an hour. This is: considered
as the extreme limit of their power,
though twenty discharges an hour have
been made for sixteen consecutive
hours. Propelled by cue twenty-fifth
of its weight, a fire ball thrown from a
mortar ol proper calibre, compasses a
range of from six bundled to seven
hundred yards. Siege mortars can tie
fired without taxing their strength se
verely, at the rate of twelve rounds an
hour continuously, but they are capa
ble of sustaining more rapid firing.
The distance of a piece may be as
certained by multiplying the number
of seconds which elapse between see
ing the flash and hearing ihe report by
1,100; the product will le nearly the
distance in feet. *
The cartridge bags for hot shot are
made of woollen fabric, and inserted
chokc/oremosl; jn a cartridge of the
next highest ^calibre. . Great care
should' be-taken in foldings tbe ends
under. ^ The wads are made of clay or
hay. The'clay should hp of the pur
est kind and free from sand, gravel
and all other foreign bodies. The hay
should be soaked in water ten or fif-
keep open the books, but it is left to
the discretion of the Boards to continue
them open for a longer time, in cases
of unforscen necessity. If the Com
missioners, residing at points other
than the one at which the books are
opened, find it inconvenient to remain
longer than one day, the duties can he
performed by those residing at the
place ot subscription, or by any one
of the Board.
Receipts will be forwarded in ample
time, to be signed by the Commission
ers having charge^ of the respective
subscriptions ; which arc intended for
those who pay in full their subscrip
tions on the day of subscribing. These
receipts, as will appear on their face,
will entitle the owner thereof to a prop
er amount of bonds or other stock, as
soon as they can be issuetl.
The books of subscription, when
closed, you will please forward to the
Central Board, by mail or express,
with the least possible delay, retain
ing a transcript for yourselves. Only
five millions of the loan now being
offered, and tbeprt ference being given
to those who pay in full when subscrib
ing; next to the subscribers ot 850
bonds of certificates of stock, and next
to those of $100’s, it would be advisa
ble to suggest to subscribers that much
trouble would be saved to the Board,
and to the Department, and greater
certainty attained of their receiving the
full amount they may desire, if they
pay in full their subscriptions, asrin tin-
event of an over subscription, which is
confidently expected, the subscriptions
must be scaled and adjusted.
The Commissioners trill please notice
particularly that par funds alone can
he received in payment Jar ih j bonds or
ceitificates of stock. The sound local
currency of any of the Confederate
States may be taken, by addins; to it such
per cent age as trill make it equivalent to
coin at the centre of trade of the State
in which the subscription is paid.
The Department is daily receiving
most satisfactory assurances from the
commercial centres of the Confederate
States that the capital of the country-
will eagerly seek the investment offer
ed by the ioan bill.
Additional information desired upon
any point connected herewith, will be
promptly furnished by the Department.

ing at shinny, or at prisoner
at either of those games that so in
creased the y oung strength and refresh
ed the spirits.
The truth is, these beautiful sports
are fast becoming obsolete, and in a
few years they will find a place on the
pages of the antiquary. Perhaps their
decline is traceible to the inability of
those to whom they have been given
up. Finding ‘hat their strength and
endurance were taxed tco severely,
and that they could not indulge in
them with that spirit that made them
so delightful, the nurslings have let
them go by the board.
These manful games are accounted
vulgar by the boys of the present gen
eration. They require some amu.ie-
men, that tloes not demand so exces
sive a use of the limbs. Their pas
times must be of a sort that can be en
joyed siltit g or walking. They must
rather give employment to the mind
than the body, albeit they are strongly
attached to some pleasures that give
ample exercise to the arms and legs,
ami not a few of their most choice di
versions require only a very moderate
use of the brain. But all these are
the favorite amusements of the grown
people, ami that is their, especial and
abundant commendation. They do
not object to their purely physical char
acter and the large demands they
make upon their nervous energy, sim
ply be.atise they are beyond their
years, and indulgence in them in some
measure satisfies their longings after
the priveleges of adults.
The present race of boys has not
shown wisdom in exchanging the no
ble games which have come down
from a remote antiquity anti answered
their useful ends so completely, for
the quiet and refined diversions of the
parlor. The substitution is unneces
sary. The two classes of diversons
so far from interfering with each other,
harmonize beautifully. Each is equal
ly important and equally wholesome,
and the full and hearty enjoyment of
lhc one kind prepares the mind and
body for tbe exquisite pleasure yielded
by the other. 0;e without-the other
rather does harm, though the evil pro
ducet! by the gentler pastimes is fai
less than than that caused by tbe oth
ers. The manners can be polished
after the period of adolescence is pas
sed, and the green is no longer resort
ed to, but the impairment of health
eonsequen 1 upon the want of vigordtSs
exercise in the open air is a huge ca
lamity in whose presence elegance
anti ease wiJJ no for nothing.
If die putting on ot tbe toga virilis
before ttie time simply exposed the
ambitious wearers to ridicule,we would
no! leel so deep a pity for tbe mistak
en aspirants. But not c» ntent with
assuming the dress anti bearing of
, manhood, the foolish lads extend the
imitation to the vices that are dishonor
able anti harmful to any period of life,
but the more pernicious to impression
able y outh. Not to speak of the gros
ser transgressions which this criminal
apishness may lead to, it is highly
dangerous for those whose 'characters
are not yet formed, whose habits are
not yet fixed, the gristle of whose will
has not yet hardened into bone, to
touch even those things that a stern
piety condemns. Every thoughtful
moralist feels uneasy al the indications
of a taste tor habits that add nothing
to the fund of human happiness when
exhibited by a stripling. A segar in
the mouth of a man is locked upon
with unconcern ; but, when we see a
boy parading the streets by night be
hind that fragrant luxury, it suggests
loomy prognostications, and throws a
shallow over our hearts.

The space between boyhood and
manhebd is growing nairower and
fainter. That period whose departure
is marked by the deepening shade on
the upper Ijp, anti by harsh unmusical
tones of the voice, is anticipated long
before nature Las given the signs and
made the changes. While still the
muscles are swelling and hardening,
and the steady^ecret process of growth
is going on, the stripling affects the
airs of maturity, and turns his back up
on childish things. The manly gown
is put on without formality, and with
out the sense of abashment. The
consciousness of roanfulness is present
iu all its potency; conceit and peurile
aspirations have lifted them above tbe
devisements and pastimes becoming
their years ; tbe wholesome restraints
imposed by tbe judgment of the past
regarded as unreasonable and cruel;
no wonder they assume the outward
bearing and seeming of manhood with
composure and naturalness.
Boys are much younger now than
they were even thirty years ago.—
When those of our readers whose eyes
the years have not dimmed, werestud
ying the alphabet, that interesting class,

like Alexander, wanted more!
Now,this “local” had already walked
about till nearly dead—he had saunt
ered through the city till his feet were
very sore- -walked through the city
called Da iphen, anti by by-ways run-
nins off i..to tbe portion of the city
both pnblic and obscure, had examin
ed store and cellar, and had question
ed every “teller” whom he met, from
door to door, if anything was stirring
—any accident occurring—not pub
lished heretofore; and had met with
no success, he would rather kinder
guess he felt a little wicked at that
ugly little bore, with his message from
the foreman that he wanted “something
more.”
“Now it’s time you were departing,
young scamp,’’we cried, upstarting;
“get you hack into the office—office
where you were before, or the words
you have spoken will get your bones
broken” (and we seized a cudgel tHat
was lying on the floor) “take your
hands out of your pockets and leave
the sanctum door; tell the foreman
there’s no copy, you ugly little bore.’’
Qouth our devil, “send him more.’’
Anti our devil, never sitting, still is
flitting ; stii. is flitting back and forth
upon the landing just outside the sanc
tum door. Tears adown his cheeks
are streaming—strange light from his
eyes are beaming—and his voice is
beard still screaming, “sir,the foreman
wants some more !” And our soul
pierced with that screaming is awak
ening from its dreaming, and has lost
the peace it had before, for the fancy
will come o’er us that each reader’s
face before us bears the horrid words
—“we want a little more!” Words
on their foreheads glaring, “your fun
ny column want a little more!’’
A Southern Printing Press,
Newspaper and other publishers, an.l
the public generally, have been advised
of the invention of a prriting press by
a Sr- .tl.ern man, a nativ , and former
ly a .dtizen of Athens, G- , but now a
•■-•si.'ent of Atlanta. ’V'e allude to
nas S Reynold, Esq-.

perfecting i is press,. n that time

■Jollars, mostly the earnings of his own
labor at his trade, which is that of a
pi li ter. lie has encountered and
overcome many obstacles, and has at
last produ etl a machine which is be
lieved to be equal, if not superior, to
any in use, considering the cost at
which it can be supplied and the work
it can perform. Within the time men
tioned, he has perfected four presses,
three of which, adanted to various
branches of the printing business, are
in operationm Atlanta.
Mr. Reynolds is a hard working man,
of industrious habits and unsullied in
tegrity. He is not rich, and cannot
engage in the manufacture of his im
portant invention, and thereby intro
duce it, and realize what he should.
We of the South have become so
accustomed to going to the North for
every thing, from a locomotive down to
an axe-handle, that we never stop to
inquire whether what, we need is or can
be made in the South. Having come
to regard everything from that section
as of superioi excellence, we doubt
whether anything fit to be used can be
matle here, and pass Southern made
articles by, without, sometimes, giving
them a look, o: enquiring about them.
Thus while we denounce the North for
their unjustifiable interference with our
peculiar affairs, we continue to patron
ize ami enrich That section.
Is this as it should be ? Ought net
thj^ to be different? If we have in
ventive genious amongst us, should we
not encourage it ? If we can provide
ourselves with Southern made articles
of equal merit and cheapness with
Northern made, is it not .our duty to
purchase the former instead of the lat
ter? Ought we net to do so as a pa
triotic duty, independent of self inter
est ? But where self interest and
patriotism both unite* to impel us to
patronise the home made article, how
pondering we these items o’er. W’hile
we conn’d them, slowly rocking (thro’
our mind queei ideas flocking) came a
quick and nervous knocking—knock
ing at the sanctum door. ‘ Sure, that
must be Jinks,” we muttered—“Jinks
that’s knocking at our door ; Jinks,the
everlasting bore.”
Alt! bow well do we remind us, in
the walls which then confined us, ‘ex
changes’ lay behind us, and before us,
and around us, an*! scattered o’er the
flopr. Thought we “Jinks wants to
borrow some newspapers till to-mor
row, and ’twill be relief from sorrow’
to get ritl of Jinks, the bore, by open-
tng wide the,door.” Still the visitor
kept knocking—knocking louder than
before,

manufacture them promptly and in
any needed quantity^will Yeqnire cap

lars annually go North for Presses not
so good—-why not keep it hgre, and
secure the profit—encourage ^Inven
tion—diversify labor and promote ac
tual independence ? Why harp con
tinually about how much of our mon
ey goes North, and how that section
is enriched by our dealing with ir, if
we are so afraid to risk our capital in
iny enterprise calculated tp keep the
mnnei here, and enrich ourselves?
