Resolved by Ute General Assembly, of the
Slule of Georgia, That tho Constitution

The government is intensely active ill

Every vessel that can run in tile Atcha-

boats, now lying at the head of Ber

sugar regions and tbe famous salt mines
near New Iberia; for tiiis they will at
tempt the earliest day possible, and us
yet we have ho defences.
Tlio sugar speculators are lit arms
against the government agents,-because
they are not allowed tlio vessels to car
ry their sugar in preference to army
stores. You thiui< “sweetening” high

The enemy is wonderfully quiet now
on the river, but it is tho eve in the
culm that prec-des the storm. We had
well r.igli destroyed iheir fleet ty the
Arkansas and our batteries. But they
are building a far more powerful' one,
ami rt-uruuing theirwestern navy, and
with 'the fall ruins and high waters,
they .will fall upon us with tenfold fury
by land upd water. We are preparing
in some measure for them — puttii g

stieiigtht-iiing the old ones, and build
ing.;! ram ottwo somewbeie; anil n
lew months will tell if their nowd'iidi-

resist our heavy, lpetai ut close range.—
Tlio supremacy of tlio Mississippi is to
be settled iu tlie forthcoming contest

There is no movement on hand for
tlio recapture of New O. loans, nor will
it Uo attempted until its liaye gunboats
