The Georgia Legislature.
The time for the assemblage of this
body is rapidly approaching, The peo
pie nro almost universally in distress
and affliction. In such condition, tvo
naturally look to any, and every tjuar-
ter, when,there is ; tho remotest hope of
relief. The questions that will necessa
rily come before that body are vast and
important.
First and most important is Hio tax
ing power nnd duty—on tlio judicious
ami proper management of the flnan,
oes of the country much depends.—
The issuing of individual shinplnsters
ought to bo “wiped out,” with addi
tional and severo penalties. Tax on
cotton raised, this ar.d tho noxt year,
should not bo forgotten. Tlio extor
tioners and speculators should be put,
in a place where thoro. can bo no evn->
sion. They must bo abated, even if
seizures are necessary, or the cause of
the Confederacy will bo ruined.
The controversy between Governor
Brown and the Confederate Govern
ment must bo settled, by Legislative
enactment, or otherwise. The outra
geous and infamous invasion of private
and State Rights by the Legislature
of Virginia and Gov Letcher; on the
salt question, cannot and must not be
tolerated. Tlio.salt question must be
looked loo, independent of tho unconsti
tutional enactment of Virginia.
As tlio clouds darken and thicken,
his Sntnnio Majesty appears to be ta
king" longer rope—hs soon as ho got
tho choirs lengthened, lie produced
mutiny ir. Heaven, and lie is on the eve
of doing it in tho Southern Confeder
acy—his chains must bo strengthened
nnd his ropes shortened, or wo unto
us.
Tho conduct of Virginia falls bo far
below the lowost depths of ingratitude
that wo positively cannot 1 talk about
it—its selfishness mid meanness, is un
surpassed by Abe Lincoln, An attempt
absolutely, in this trying hour of our
troubles, wantonly anti unjustly to des
troy ur, whilst Georgia has 40,000 hs
brave and iruo men now on. her soil,
bleeding und suffering for the common
cause, (in which she is more immedi
ately interested, than any Stato in the
Confetjoiacy,) as the world ever saw
whoso soil has been drenched with the
blood of thousands of Georgia’s best
sons, from tho bloody grounds of Ma
nassas to the very doors of Richmond.
Gro.il God, what an ungrateful.creature
man is'.
But tho rxtoitioners and speculators,
who arc now, and liuve been running
riot, all over this land—they are the
murderers of this nation—the murde
rers of widows und orphans, whose
husbands nnd fathers have, been mur
dered by Abo Lincoln. What can be
done with them f It will not do to-
Bay let Heaven punish fliem,'that's too
long a credit, and 1ms no terrors for
long
them—that is just what they and thqic.
fiiends any themselves. Can the wis
dom of the Legislature do’ nothing on
tliis subject? Our prayers have been,,
day nnd night, "O Lord, lias hot the
crilusun-tide flown long enough, broad
enough and deep enough, to appease
thy wrath and wash away our sins ? ”—
Yet this crimson-tide is not stayed, nor
will it be, so long ns there is an "Aclnm
in tho camp,’’’ ami no efforts are made
to hunt him out and identify him.
■ x. '
JC@r 1 Shall wo havo broad, or must
we starve, that is the question” for the
Romans to decide, and that shortly.—
We liuvo been told that some of cur
farmers have boasted that they intend
ed to starve Romo out, by way, of retal
iation for the high prices of salt, dry
goods, ifcc., and verily, from tho appear
ance of our market, we might concludo
that tho stntcmeni is tfno. From what
we havo seon and licnrd, wo. have no
doubt but that many really* entertain
such ridiculous and foolish notions, as
though thp citizens of Rome were re
sponsible, or could prqvont the . qotion,
of n few speculators and extortioners,
who have succeeded in getting things
to such.ridiculous prices. ’ If they could
retaliate on t he real sourcos of tho high
prices, then wo would say go ahead, but
must the mass of the oitizens' of Rome,
the honest hard working mechanic and
the day laborer, who havo to depend
on tho pittance doled out to them, and
whoso wages do not go up in proportion
to other things, tho professional men
nnd many of our merchants,-who are
doing the best they can under the cir
cumstances, nnd more than all, the fam
ilies of the brave man who aro now ma-
‘king a living wall between us and the
hated enemy, must thoy, wo say, bo
mado to , pay throe or four prices for
articles of food, in order to retaliate on
a few miserable speculators and oktor
tioners.
It is very unfortunate that a feeling of
this kind should have been originated
in the breast of a single individual, for,
in attempting to carry it out, the indi
viduals on whom they would retaliate,
are tlio very persons that would feel it
tlio least, 1 and.the’ laboring niftn and
the Boldicrs’ families, who ought not to
suffer for anything, have to bear the
brunt of it.
But if they are really determined on
this course it is a game that two can
play. Men who havo tho means must
combine, and send off and purchase
such supplies as may. bo needed—for
tlioy can fortunately bo had elsowlicro
—and place them in the vcaoii of all.
There is one mode that would work
most successfully in bringing down tlio
prices of everything, and that is for tlio
wealthier classes to practice, for awhile,
the rigid self denial that the poor are
compelled to praotice. For every one
that has anything to sell, argues that
somobody will buy it, and so it turns
out. For it seems that no matter what
a man has to soli now, or what price ho
demands but that there is somo one
that buys it.
The broad question is tlio most im
portant one with us just now. Flour
has gone beyond all reason, and tlio
speculators are helping it still more,
and Coni Meal is rapidly following in
the same direction. There lias been no
corn, in any quantity, for sale in Rome
in months, and only occasionally-a little
meal; and at present, we do not know
•f a bushel of meal for sale in town,
and the millers tell us that they would
supply the meal if they could get tho
corn, blit the farmers will not sell it,
oven wlion they have more than tlioy
need. They want higher prices, and it
is selling at $1.50 now. What shall we
do fir bread ?
AQy-Wc conversed with officers last
night, wlio loft tho .urniy of Northern
Virginia on Thursday last, and learned
from them that our army was confront

tivity—that everything was quiet along

The Grand Movcmekts iu Kentucky.
Never since the war commenced,
has there been so grand and portitable
a tour made, as the one just accomplish
ed by Uen. Bragg. Just think of it, be
has captured frolr, tlio enemy, nnd pur
chased from thocilizeiiR together,enough
to lend n train of v ligons 40 miles long.
His whole army lias full back toward
the Gap to protect this valuable train,
and as it is now safe from capture,
Bragg will rotire with his army just
whero it suits him.
The arrival of this train will play
smnsh with the jeaus speculation in
his country, ns it is bringing one mil-
ioii yards of good Kentucky jeans.
They also bring n large amount of
clothing, boots and shoes. Two butt
drod wagons loaded of bacon, six thou
sand’ barrels of pickled pork, fifteen
thousand good mules and a large lot of
hogs. NO wonder Bragg's army fell back
to protect suoli a vniiiiiblo cargo.—

Bivouac 8th Ga., Red.,
Winchester, Vn., Oct. 13th, 18G2.
.Dear Courier : Nothing can be moro
monotonous than nn encampment of
trodps'when no immediate bottle or
movement is expected. Tho roar of
the enemy’s cannon or'llio rattle of ids
musketry, has not beon heard by this*
Division of our army for over two
weeks, nnd we have been all this while
quiet in Bivouac. Tlinnk Heaven for
this respite, short though it be, from the
fatigiio of forced marohes, and the tor-
riblo excitements of battle. What a
rest this is and how it is nppveciated,
no'.'.o can know but thoso who have ex.
porionced the agonies of "tlio bloody
strife” on hard contested fields. The
severo drafts on body, mind andspjritsi
mado by a spirited. campaign, reduce
tho participants to a half lothcrgio state
of stolid indifference from which it
takes time and rost to awaken them.—
These opportunities being afforded,
liowover, they soou revive, and, ere
long, every “Richard is himself again.”
- Tito Small Pox excitement has nearly
abated, though according to tlio last de
cision of our Surgeons—and after sev
eral others, first one way and then the
other—the disease, in a mild form, call
ed Varioloid, now actually exists in our
Brigade. No cases have yot beon re
ported outside of tho 7th Ga. Reg’t.
Thero nro only C or 8 patients in all,
and nono of thcscjtro considered in
an anywise dangerous condition. The
general’health of the army is, perhaps
better than at any previous time, and
the ranks continue to he filled by strag
glers, and those who have been sick
nnd wounded, returning from the Ilos'
pit M lif.
The wcatlior has changed nt inst. It
rained nearly all Friday night, nud
ever since then it hns beon cold nnd
cloudy with drizzling rain, aconsidoia-
hle part of the time. The lroop3- arc
poorly provided for this weather, hav
ing no tents nnd only a moagre supply
of blankets.
Of tho movements of tho enemy in
our’front we hear little that is reliable.
The most probable reports concur in
the Htulement that few or none are
camped north of Harper’s Ferry, on
this sido.of the river. Thoir cavalry
occasionally cross. over at .Shepherds-
town, cruiso round for nn hour or two,
then return. It is reported that Gon.
Stewart of our army crossed over’ into
Maryland-last Friday, with two tlioUs.
nnd cavalry, nud eighteen pieces of ar
tillery, for tlio purpose of making a
recennoisnnoc. This, may or may not
bo true. There aro some indications
that we will loavo here soon.

P. S.—2 o’clock P. M.—Thero were
six new eases of Varioloid reported in
tho 7-Tii, this morning, and since noon
tho Regiment has gone off somewhere
into Quarantine quarters.

Suit.
Tho main points in tho recent act .of
tlieiie Virginia Legislature, in relation
to tho exportation of snlt from that
Stale, and tho orders of Governor
Lctchor regulating the same aro as fol
lows :
1st. Tho railroads aro forbidden to
ship any salt out of tho State, oxcopt
such as is made under oxlsting
contracts with tho Confederate Govern
ment! or some onb ef tho States; and
individuals nro prohibited from carry
ing any salt out of tho State by wagon
or ovon a bushel on horseback.
2d. All tho salt on hand at any of the
snlt works on tho 1st day of Qotobcr, is
to bo soized ns tho property of Virginia,
oxcopt such ns was made under con
tracts with tlioConfedorateGovornmcnt
or any of the State Governments, or
counties, cities and towns,
3d. All surplus salt over tho filling qf
contracts with tho States and the Con
federate -Government, mado after tho
1st of Ootober, to ba taken tty the Gov
ernor of Virginia, ns, tbo properly of
the State, to supply tho people of that
State, provided such surplus will
amount to so much. If tho people of
Virginia cannot thus be supplied, by
the surplus over the said contracts, then
tho Governor is to disregard nil con
tracts with any party or (or any purpose
nnd take all tho salt made, till the State
qf Virginia is supplied, And if a sup
ply cannot thus bo had, tho Governor is
to seizo upon the snlt works and itnvo
thorn worked at tho expense of tho
State, till a full supply for the peoplo of
Virginia is obtained.
Wo regard this notion of tho Legisla
ture and Governor of Virginia as ex
ceedingly illiberal and unjust, as well
as unconstitutional. It interferes with
solemn contracts and sots at defiance
vested innlionnble rights, whioh. no
Government, whetlior State or Con fed-
ernto, hns tho right to do. It is tho
most highhanded nnd outrageous meas
ure of the day.—At. C<nt/W.
Another Abolition Scheme.
Tho radical Abolitionists have boon
emboldened by tiiq Prqsidon’s procla
mation to go a step farther. Tlioy now
begin to shadow forth the idea of par
celling out tho lands and possessions of
the Confederates among tho freed -ne
groes, to the exclusion, it may bo ipfet'-
red, of nil .Vull white folks.” Tlio fol
lowing, among' other resolutions were
recently adopted by n, radical mooting
in Chicago: .
3. That tho laws of cjimato and phys
ical constitution dourly indicate that
tho black rnco is especially adapted for
labor in tbo .Southqrn portion Of this
country ; and that when tho labor of
that rnco is properly organized, justly
compensated and duly scoured, we are
of the opinion it will bo found more
effectual than ever before, to develop
the resources, increase tho prosperity;
and promote the welfare of tho South
ern States. .
4. That in case the rebols should not,
within the timo limited by the Presi
dent, return to thoir allegiance! and
tho slaves thereby made free, that for
tho putqoso of making adequate . pro
visions to secure tho slaves so emanci
pated tlio beneficial'results of the Presi
dent’s action, and to prevent all anar
chy and confusion, and to secure sys
tem and proper control in those sec
tions where the President’s proclama
tion may bo enforced, that the blooks
should, so far an prnotionl, be organized
in such manner as best to accomplish
there objects; und wo are in favor of
the adoption of suclt measures ns shall
bo necessary to secure to the negro race
homos in- tho land of their birth und.
and attachments, or to such among
them ns desire it, facilities for coloniza
tion nnd settlement beyond the limits

How They Fiki jn Battle.-Ah army
correspondent says.
You wondor if tlio regiments fire reg
ularly in volley, or whether each man
loads and fires as fast ns he can. That
depends upon thoir circumstances;
but usually, oxcopt when tho enemy is
near at hand, the regiments .fire only
at tbo command of their officers. You
hoar a drop, drop, drop, ns a Yew of
tho skirmishers fire, followed by a rat
tle and roll, which sounds liko the
falling of a building, just as somo of
you have hoard tlio brick walls tum
ble at a great firo. .Sometimes, when a
body of tho enemy’s cavalry are sweep- .
ing down upon a regiment to out it to
pieces, tho men form into a square,
with-the officers and musicans in the
centre. Tho front rank Blands with
bayonet olmrgod, while tho rear rank
firo as fast ns it can. Sometimes they
form in four rank deep—the two front
ones! kneeling witli bayonet charged,
so that if tlio enemy should como upon
thorn tlioy would run against a picket
fence of bayonets. Whey they 'form ir»
this way tlio other two ranks load nnd
fire as fust at theyfenn. Then the roar
is terrific, S and many a horse and rider
goes down before tho terrible storm of
