THE COFFIN REGIMENT.”
The time was, an.l it i9 well remembered
iii Georgia, wlien, in a bested political con-
test, during which the timos we now live in
were predicted soon to come, that “ The
Collin Regimdnl” was a term of political re
proach with some,, and of honest pride with
oilier?. The figure then drawn has become
a stern reality now. How many “coffin regi
ment''. 1 ’ this war has produced ! How many
alas! havafaallcn,and coffinless have been
consigned to their mother earth ! The great
popular orator wl o, fifteen years ago, utter
ed the sentiment that gave birth to the em
phatic term at the head of this article, and
who so clearly predicted these evil days, now
sleeps the sleep that knows no waking, and
yet he still lives, lives in his two gallant sons
who have led l Cc>jjin Regiments” to the field;
lues-in tlie hearts of a gallant people who
cherish the heroic sentiments so often ut
tered in their hearing, and which arc now
being practically carried out by Georgians
in the field.
Walter T. C >l«j lilt ii no more! Would
that he were now in the land of the living,
with his “ Coffin Regiment” at his back ! —
Would that liis life could have been spared
to witness the heroism^ his sons, and the
practical illustration of his sentim.enta.—
When, at the head of the gallant “ Sixth
Georgia, 1 ’ over two years ago, wc saw one
of liia sons, Alfred, now a distinguished
Brigadier General in the Confederate army
leaving this city for Richmond, we thought
“ there goes one of the ‘Coffin Regiments*
under a most gallant leader, to illustrate
Georgia and his father’s sentiments.” Per
haps, too, few Generals have fought as many
battles, and few have made so many escapes.
Had he been a Virginian, his gallantry in
the many bailies he was engaged in there
would not have passed unheralded. And'
had he been a South Carolinian, the press of
that Stale wou\I long since have noticed
hia gallantry in the assaults or the enemy
upon Wagner. At Seven Pines his clothes
werp perforated with bullets, and at Sharps
burg he lost," in killed and wounded* every
officer of his brigade, save a Major—his own
horse being shot under him, while gallantly
leading his men. “Coffin Regiments” com-
pose, arid have composed* his brigade, and
though he has been, to our certain knowl
*;dge, urgently solicited,and often, to become
a candidate tor the highest office in the
government of the people of this -State, lie
prefers still to lead them battling for that
independence lie has pledged life, fortune,
and sacred honor to win, leaving the helm of
the ship of Slate iu the hands of one who
thus far has patriotic illy, and ably, and
skillfully, directed it.
Another “ Coffin Regiment” lias been led
into the field ot active service, by Col. Pey
ton il. Colquitt, the younger brother of the
General, who has already won distinction
in the service, and who is now with his gal.
hint command at Rome. We predict lor
this second son of the great champion of
the South and Southern Rights, in Georgia,
from the days of Troup up to the period of
ids death, a brilliant career too in the army,
hike his brother, he has won 'many honors
in civil life, and like his brother, he will lead
and fight side by side with “Coffin Regi
ments' 1 till the great victory shall lie won
which will give independence to the South.
What was jeered at by some iu a period
of political strife years ago, as we before
remarked, is now become a stem reality in
deed. The Georgia regiments in the field,
and the gallant regiments of all the Slates
of the Confederacy, may ^now be termed
“ Coffin-Regiments.” I i they do not literally
carry coffins upon their backs, they go into
the bloody strife preferring that each man
shall fill his own, rather than yield.to. Yan
kee domination.
“COBB”—THE 35th SENATORIAL DIST.
“Cobb.” whose brief article appears iu
another column, expresses'his regret that
General Hansel! has withdrawn from the
canvass, declining to be again a candidate to
represent this Senatorial District, in the next
General Assembly of our State. Wc, too,
:i3 well as numerous other citizens of At
lanta, have to express the same regret, and
for the same reason—because of the “abili
ty, industry and dignified deportment” which
characterized General ITansell while serv
ing this district in our State Senate the past
1 wo years. Rut while General Hansell (le-
decimes being a candidate, he is still iu the
field, and will use all honorable means to
promote the election of Col. Watkins, with
whom, upon the political issues of the dav,
lie agrees, and who will prove his worthy
successor iu the next General Assembly,
the next
tor we have no doubt of Lis triumphant
election. We say this much, at present, iu
order to apprise numerous friends of Gen.
Hansell in Cobb, and Pulton, first, that Gen.
Hansell is no candidate for re-election, and,
second, that lie will not sanction the nomina
tions made ia Jonesboro by a portion of the
citizens of Clayton eaunty, of either Mr.
Hill for Governor, or of Col. Calhoun for
the Senate, but will oppose them both. This
statement, we trust, will remove any erron
eous impressions that have been made upon
individuals in this or aav other county of
the district in regard to the position of our
late distinguished Senator.

Some Yankee cavaliy followed the Doctor
near Athens, Tenm, and succeeded in cap
turing one man and thirty head of cattie
which had nearly given out on the route.
The Doctor brings sad news of the depre
dations committed by.the Abolition infidels
on the poor unprotected women and chil
dren who were loft at the mercy of these
wretches in Middle Tennessee. Not a farm
house, or cottage, however humble, but what

ruthlessly insulted. Tennesseeans! remein-
lier this in the coming battle, and avenge
the outrage perpetrated on your kinsfolk by
these fiendish barbarians.
TELEGRAPH REPORTS.
We have frequently noticed the practice
of telegraph reporters giving their own opin
ions in their dispatches to the Press, and not
confining themselves to a statement of facts.
This style of sending reports should not be
permitted, a3 when the press receives the
dispatch, if it is required they, will comment
on it, without the aid of the reporter.
Hon. Jno. T. Monroe.—We learn that
this noble hearted, lion spirited gentleman,
who defended the honor of New Drbj^ns to
the last, alter the city had been ignomini-
ously surrendered is now in Richmond, and

of the President.
We hope that seme solid manifestation of
the President’s fi ieausliip, and appreciation
of the gallant avA brave part borne l>y May
or Monroe, in maintaining unsullied the es
cutcheon of his State, for which he suffered
a long imprisonment and the loss of all his
his property, will lie conferred upon this de

NEWS FROM THE WEST.
Our friend, Dr. Strader, has kindly fur
nished us with a Louisville Journal, of the
21st nit., from which we make the following
extracts of interest:
Imkortant Order.—An important order
lias just been issued from the War Depart
ment in regard to .the reduction of the
amount of transportation for troops in the
field, which indicates an active fall cam
paign.
A new schedule is adopted, givi ug to the
headquarters of an army corps for transpor
tation, two wagons or eight pack animals ;
the headquarters ot a division or brigade,
one wagon or five pack animals; field and
staff of a regiment, one wagon or four pack
animals, twelve company officers, one wagon
or four pack animals; eighty non-commis
sioned officers and privates, one wagon or
five pack animals.
This is to include’ transportation lor nil
personal baggage, &c. All excess over this
allowance now in the army is to be turned
over to the Quartermaster’s Department.
Commanding officers of corps, divisions,
&c., arc required to make immediate inspec
tions, and will be held responsible for the
strict execution of orders. Commissary
stores, lorage and ammunition will be trans
ported by' tiains.
This order also directs the mode .of carry
ing rations by infantry, and provides that
in ordinary marches, where troops can re
ceive daily issues from trains, they will carry
only two days’ rations; but in the imme
diate vicinity of the enemy, and where it
may be necessary to move without baggage
or teams, men may be required to carry
with them eight or ten days’ rations, meat
licing driven along on the hoof.
The order concludes thus:
“By increasing the ordinary meat ration
and levying contributions of flour and meal
on the country passed over, bread and small
rations carried by the soldiers may be made
io last from twenty to twenty-five days.
“In proper season bread rations may be
partially dispensed with by ^substituting
green corn, wbiels ean be foraged in the
fields.
“Moveable commas in the field should be
furnished, with a hand or horse mill for
grinding grain which they procure in the
country.*
The attention ot all officers commanding
forces in the field is called to this order, and
they will adopt details instructions ia fit
ting out their commands for movements
which are to be made rapidly and without
the ordinary transportation.
Stevenson, Ala., August 20.
General Rosccrans pitched his headquar
ters at this point yesterday evening. The
supply trail came over the mountains from
Winchester, arriving last night and this
morniag. The road over the mountains—
the same traveled by Gen. Buell—was seri
ously blockaded by the rebels, who fell trees
over the road at several points, compelling
tne pioneers to eut^new roads for the passage
of the wagons. Our camp is a short distance
from Stevenson,’and three miles from the
Tennessee.
It is said that the enemy occupy a promi
nent bluff near the crest of the mountains us
a signal station.
Four deserters swam the river to-day, and
surrendered to oar pickets. They say the
belief is, that Bragg will give us battle at
Chattanooga, and, if severely punished, will
retire on Rome or Atlanta. His army is
now encamped along the railroads radiating
from Chattanooga, and his pickets are visi
ble on the banks of the Tennessee.
A correspondent, writing from Vicksburg,
says:
1 have just arrived at this place per steamer
Albert Pearce, the first boat carrying a
through United States mail from St. Louis to
New Orleans since the opening of the Miss
issippi. From Cairo to Vicksburg the ap
pearance of the country contiguous to the
river, as contrasted with that which it pre
sented two years, or even eighteen months
since, is striking, and is oi itself a forcible
reminder of the melancholy fact that we are
at war, and that, too, among ourselves.
A2 stream continually traversed by gun
boats, bearing upon its bosom large num
bers of military transports, the banks of the
river lined with frowning batteries, barren
fields, depopulated villages, and a general
suspension of business, gives but a poor pho
tograph of the appearance of the country
try, late the theatre of hostile contests.—
From Cairo to Vicksburg, a distance of six
hundred miles, not a score of human beings
residents of the territory between these’
points, appeared ou the river shores, with
the exception of negroes, most of whom were
women and children.

WILLIAM BARKER, THE YOUNG PA
TRIOT.
A TERRIBLE ROMANCE, IiV ATiTEMITS WARD.
The following “short and sweet” romance
in two chapters, points a moral and adorns
a thrilling tale, which will not be lost upon
our government contractors and others who
desire to contract au alliance with a matter
o’, money.
I.
“No, William Barker, you cannot, have
my daughter's hand in marriage until you
are her equal in ■wealth and social posi
tion.” €
The speaker was a haughty old man of
some sixjy years, and the person whom lie
addressed was a fine looking young man of
twenty-five.
With a sad aspect the young man with
drew from the stately mansion.
II.
Six months later the young man- stood in
the presence of the haughty old man.
“What! you here again?” angrily cried
the old man.
“Ay, old maD.” proudly exclaimed Wil
liam Barker. “Iam here your daughter’s
equal and yours!”
The okl man’s lips curled with scorn., A
derisive smile lit up liiscold features; when,
casting violently upon the marble centre
liable an enormous roll of greenbacks, Wil
liam Baker cried—
“ Sec ! Look ou tills wealth. And I’ve
tenfold more! Listen, old man ! You spurn
ed me from your door. But I -did not de
spair. I secured a contract for furnishing
tlie army of tlie with beef ”
“ Yes, yes!” eagerly exclaimed the old
man. , - - : .
“ and I bought up all the disabled cav
alry horses I could find ”
“ 1 see ! 1 see!” cried the old man. “And
good beet they make too 1”
“They do! they do ! and the profits are
immense.”
“ i should say so !”
“And now, sir, I claim your daughter’s
fair hand!”
“Boy, she is yours. B'rthold! look me
i a the eye. Throughout, all this have you
been loyal ?”
“To the core!” cried William Barker:
And,” continued the old man, in a voice
husky with emotion, “are you in favor of a’
vigorous prosecution of the war
“ I am, lam !” *
“ Then, boy, take her ! Maria, child, come
hither. _ Your William claims thee. Be
happy, ray children I and whatever our lot
in life may be, let us all support the govern
ment !”
• From Wisconsin.—Through the polite
ness of Lt. Sam’l J. H. Hall, of the 1st Lou
isiana Cavalry, we have received the South
Western Local, published at Sbullsburgh,
Wis., of tlie -list July. It. is a strong Val-
landigham paper, and opposes Jjitterly Lin
coln’s tyranny and oppression, but we find
in if no local items of interest.
Why was not this thing done at Montgom- j
cry v Sir. Stephens told us at Savannah
they were the wisest, boldest, most prudent, j
firm and patriotic set ever convened, and a ,
unit. Why did not Mr. Toombs propose it. !
Has he studied political economy since he
has become disgusted with military Rfe, or
is it that while in office he lacks the qua .
ties to do, what, out ot office, he urges on
others? If so, it is a fearful responsibility
tefa trusting people. And this brings me o
my third conclusion: Mr. Toombs can be
of thrice the good out of office that, he wiL
be in office. However this may be, IV r.
Toombs’ views are eminently sound ant
inline ntly important, and can’t be ad opto.
too soon. ’
This letter may seem egotistical; be it so.
It is true, and cannot be gainsayed.
Very respectfully,
JOHN A. JONES.
[COMMUNICATED.],
! Fatrie Knowe, Aiig. 28, 180-i
Mr. Editor ; .
I have just been reading Mr. Toombs’
views on impressment and currency. They
are eminently sound and practical, ami must
bf; familiar to every student of political
, economy; to evcry’reader.of Fay, Smith, Mill
' or Ricardo, and should be listened to atten
tively, and adopted by the government as
soon as possible. ' 'luxation is the basis of cre
dit. I have known it tor fifty years, and in
all wed conducted governments it is consid
ered as necessary to the financial health of
the body politic, as food and sleep to the
physical man. 1 rated Judge Nesbit, in Ma
con, soon after the adjournment of tlie usurp
ing Congress at Montgomery, for not taxing
the people directly, instead of imposing on
us the odifwd?, unconstitutional, and corrupt
protective tariff system; which he acknow
ledged could produce no revenue, but be
said was imposed to inaugurate the sys
tem.
I urged the same views upon Mr. Trios.
Cobb, at the Big Shanty, saen after the first
encampment there, it was just before he
left for the Congress at Richmond.
I told him to issue $100,000,000 of Treas
ury notes, levy a direct tax of one per cent,
on all the property in the Confederate States,
and pledge tlie proceeds for the redemption
of your notes. It will produce annually 00
to $80,000,000, and on it you can base a cir
culation of $500,000,000—it would not have
been needed, for prices would have been
lower. Mr. C. seemed to approve the view
presented. He went to Congress. The
thing was not done. The usurping Congress
of which Mr. Toombs was a member, had
not what Mr. Toombs considers requisite—
“ The wisdom, firmness and courage which.
tti3 crisis demanded.” The history of this
war and the history ot this government lias
convinced me ot two or three things: 1st,
that we have au abundance of astute party
politicians, who understand how to get of
fice ; but no statesmen, no financiers. 2d
Mr. Memminger may be an able lawyer and
an astute party politician, but no financier.
While reading Mr. Toombs’ letters, a ques
tion seemed pertinent to me, which I think
Mr. Toombs will find it hard to answer.

HON, JOSHUA HILL’S LETTER.
Mr. Editor :
I read this extraordinary production in
your paper of the 3d inst., and although I
do not care a brass button whether Gov-
Brown is re elected or nob and shall not go
twenty steps out of my w% to vote for him,
I think this letter of Mr. Hill of such a
strange character that I cannot resist pen
ning a few word's to point out its glaring ab
surdities .
In the first place, allow me to remark
that the main burden ot the letter is to cre
ate an issue which never existed. No sane
secessionist ever dreamt of reconstruction
after the first step was taken. The step of
secession by the * Southern States from the
Northern and Eastern, was' intended, from
the beginning, to be final, conclusive, and
forever. So that till that part of Mr. Hill’s
letter is surplusage, and goes for nothing,
uriles3.it is intended as mere gas, expended
for Buncombe.
Mr. Hill says : “It is charged that I was m
favor of a reconstruction of the Union—op
posed to the prosecution of the war—And to
the administration of President Davis.”—
Wiihout wishing to repeat that charge, (and
lie does not pretend to determine its truth
or falsity) the writer would here remark that
he has looked carefully through Mr. Hill’s
letter, and-canuot find any direct denial of
the charges—mere excuses and palliations
throughout. But I do find Mr. Hill to state
in that letter, directly, that he had “often ex-
pressed7m honest convictions that the destrue-
of the Union would be followed by a long
and bloody war, disastrous beyond prece
dent ia its results to every section; and that
the idea ofrfissolving the Union with a hope
ot reconstructing it on a basis more perma
nent, and protective of the rights of States,
was fallacious and absurd.” He docs not
say that lie ever expressed one, word, or
gave any counsel, how such calamities were
to be avoided. He says—“I compared the
effort to accomplish such an impossibility to
the folly of taking the most delicate glass
vase and crushing it to atoms, in the vain
hope of collecting the scattered fragments,
and, by re-uniting them, make the shattered
vessel more comely and durable than be
fore ;”but Mr. Hill does not tell his readers
that he ever made tlie least effort to prevent
his Northern friends from prostituting this
delicate vase to the vilest and most degra
ding purposes—efforts which they have been
making from Mr. Hill’s childhood.
Mr.JHill stands up for the pluck of the
Yankee. He says—“I knew that time was,
when they had fought, and I believed that
by collision with cur brave troops, they
would learn to do it again.” Then you be
lieved, Mr. Hill, what has not taken place.—
The Northwestern men, the Irish, and other
foreigners in the Federal army have gene
rally fought well; but if the South had had
no other men than the Butlers, the Banks’s,
the Shermans, and their Yankee -associates
to encounter, the war would have been end
ed long ago.
CLAYTON.
FROM NEWBERN-NO SIGNS OF AN AD
VANCE OF THE ENEMY.
The Kinston correspondent of the State
Journal, who has been warning the authori
ties day aftei. day for some lime that the
Yankees at Newborn were preparing to ad
vance into the interior with a force variously
estimated at from 8 to 16,000, has just dis
covered that the reported advance was all
“bosh.” In his letter of the 3d instant, lie
says:
The complexion of things have materially
changed down here as regards the move
ments of the Yankees below', since my letter
to yon of yesterday.
The impression is prevalent here this
morning, based upon the news that came up
from below last night, to the effect that the
roost of the enemy’s available forces have
left Ncwbern, Fytliia the last five days, -.ad
gone to reinforce the expedition off Charles
ton. And the loress at New'bern at this
lane are composed chiefly of negroes and
conscripts; and that* the Yankees them
selves, through their friends and allies
amongst us, instigated this advance report
as a feint, for tl^Lnurpose of causing our
militiamen to ^Ptheir fodder by being
called out at this season of the year, and
also to cover tlieir movcnionts towards the
cDitst of South Carolina.
However, my own impression is that there
is something rotten in Denmark, and that
our mil-.tary authorities should constantly
be on the alert, lest they should be taken
unawares.
If this news be true, we hopo that Gi v.
Vance will release the militia men, at least
for a sufficient time to go home and finish
saving their fodder. For it is distressing in
the extreme to witness.the extensive fields
of fodder now drying up for the want of
hands to save it in this section of the State.

A CARD.
HaviDg been announced as a candidate for the rep-
resentaii.n of thu county iathe next .Legislature, Itake
this method of saying to the people that I would like to
be elected Should it be your pleasure to place me In
1 khis position, I shall vote on all questions of public in
terest upon their merits alone, without regard to who
favors o;opposes them, according to my own conviction
of duty.
1 now eonsUcr it the duty of every private individa al,
as well as public men, to shape his actions so as to give
the grea’es amount of aid m freeing the country from
the diDgers which now enviren us—to establish our
complete independence and eternal separation from the
fanatic3 of tlie North, who seek to emancipate our slaves,
obliterate our State lines, annul oev municipal laws, con
fiscate our property,and make us and our children vaa
cals fer all time to come.
The South has too many maimed youtlis, grief-stricken
fathers, bereaved mothers and widows and helpless or
phans, ever to clasp the bloody hands of our enemies in
political fellowship. The bare suggestion would be ant
ing too much of human nature, andisrepellant to every
principle of manhood. It is no time now to ask or dis
pute about who brought on these troubles; whether it
was too late or too^ioon; the vindictive, cruel, selfishness
of tlie Yankees as developed in tlie progress of the two
years war, leaves us truly to regret we had not made
greater preparation at an earlier day. The only alter
native is to fight out of it. Hence all legislation should
be so directed s to secure our triumph in arms.
Tlie army tiioaid be, must btftpiaintained, and the
wives and children of the stldiersjn the field, protected
and cared for by wise and jast legislation. These thiegs
will require heavy taxation. The right sof producers too,
and of business and commercial mtnjshou’dbe protected
agaimt al! arbitrary, vexatious and unnecessary seiz
ures and improper interference. All official3, both civil
and military should be held strictly to the discharge of
the duties which come withtn their respective pi ovinces."*
411 offices'of large patronage should occasionally change
hands, for where one man retains power and controls it
too long, abuses tnd corruption are sure to creep in,
and cannot be discovered or remedied as long a3 those
concerned keep the key to their own secrets. A3 appli
cable to this view cf the subject tlie State Railroad, the
extraordinary increase of executive patronage aiising
from the organization of a State army wiih the numer
ous regiments for Confederate service require the serious
consideration of the people who are opposed to the one
man pon ee which is ever daDgerous to republics,
think a little-airing and erubbing up of the Executiv
mansion once in four years at least, would contribute
largely to the health and well-being of the body politic.
Therefore,! shall not vo:e for the present incumbent
but shall cast my vote for G overnor for one of the o h
candidates that I think m<st likely to carry out such
measures as will secure cur independence and best in
terests
I belong to no pai ty or clique, but propose to “tote
