SEE FOURTH PAGE.-©a Help for the Destitute. Oor Inferior Court, passed an order last' week to issue bonds to the amount of $5,- 000, for the benefit of the destitute fami4 new Constitution, without "going lies of volunteers in the public service,-and will increase the amount should it become necessary. ‘ r ' This was a move in the right direction: The idoaof raising funds by voluntary con tributions was not a good one. It made the burden very heavy to tlmgeuerous and liberal, andallowod the penurious and close- fisted to escape without half-way discharg ing their duty. Each man will, now be Compelled to pay “ according to his seve ral ability.” This is eminently right aud proper. . The Natlonaivast. To-morrow (Thursday, 18th*) is the day set apart by the Proclamation of President Davis as a national Past Day in the South ern Confederacy. Wo hope the imple ments of trade and husbandry will be laid aside and all places of business closed on that day. Lot it be observed throughout the Republic ns a Sabbath. It is hoped that all the citizens will repair to their places of worship on that day, and humble themselves before the God of onr fathers. This is a dark and gloomy day in our his tory. Without the blessing of Heaven we can do nothing. “Oh come, aud let us worship. Let us bow down before the Lord our Maker.” Wo re-pnblish in another place the Pres ident’s proclamation. . TO THE PEOPLE OP ATHENS. The President of the Confederate States having set apart Thursday, Juno 13th, as a day of Fasting and Prayer, 1 respectfully suggest that all places ofbusiness bo closed on that day, and that onr citizens nnite in its observance. F. W. ADAMS, Allien*, June 12. Intcndnnt. Athens Guards. On Monday morning, Liout. Langston departed, with some HO additional recruits for the Athens Guards. We.have failed to get a full list, but a friond has handed us the names of the following young men from the ‘Dark Corner” of this county: Drury B. Jackson, Wm. S. Griffith, Henry Jackson, D. H. Moncrief, Jr. IVin.’Griffith, John Watloy, James Griffith, William Cook. They spent Sabbath at Mars Hill church, in religious exercises, and in taking leave of their friends. How different from the drmiken, bestial orgies of the pickpockets and thieves they have gone to fight! The Lord of Hosts will protect His own. B&~ Wo are compelled to postpone the publication of the communication in refer ence to the action of the Inferior Court till our next issue. Another Athens Invention. Necessity, they say r is the. mother of in ventions. As an illustration of this fact, ive may mention that our near neighbor, Mr. James M. Royal, Carriage-maker, hnv ing exhausted his supply of Northern bent felloes for buggios and iight-carriages, and being unable to procure any more from the North, set his wits to work the other day', and the result is a mat lane which makes as jnieo an article of the kind as was ever exhibited in this or any o.t her market. Judges of the article say thnt his felloes are superior to those of Northern manu facture—the timber being much better. Mr. R. will, wo understand, apply for a patent. In the meantime, we presume he will shortly bo prepared to furriiah carri age-makers with any quantity of felloes they may desire. This is another step to wards Southern independence. •Sr. The Hon. Howell Cobb, we are in formed, proposes raising a regiment in Northeastern Georgia. Unfortunate Casualty.—We. learn that a negro boy belonging to Mr. James R. Carl ton,was hadly crashed on Friday eve- contiriue to do so. We had no desire to obtrude our humble views upon the con sideration of the public, but had been fre quently requested to define, oar position on the question which must be decided by the popular voice on the 2d of July. As is our usual habit, we did so candidly and fearlessly, but without giving just grounds of offence to any one. We contented our self with stating a few objections to the o a general argument, because when our coun try is invaded, when the lives and proper ty of our fellow-citizen s of gallant old Vir ginia are ruthlessly destroyed, by the Van dal hordes Of Northern savages, we did not feel in the humor for. arguing such questions. We shall content ourself, for the reasons stated, with voting against the new Con stitution, believing that in so doing we are dischargingourduty to the Commonwealth. We ask no man to pin his faith to oursleerve, but hope that every Oi'.izeu of "the State, will divest himself of nil prejudice and vote according to the honest convictions of his own judgment on the 2d day of Jniy next. " Departure of Troops. On Sunday evening' last,' three compa nies of Gen. Phillips’ brigade, the “Tugalo Blues,” from Franklin, the Jackson county Voluntoers and the Hart county Volun teers, reached this place. They are re markably fine looking men. The Tugalo Blues have the right sort of motto on their flag, “Victory or Death !” Lot this be the watchword of all our brave boys. Wo learn that there are two other com panies. in Hart—three hundred men in Franklin, and two more companies form ing in Jackson. On Monday at 2 o’clock, a special train carried the brave fellows on their way re joicing. They wore escorted to the depot by the Fire Company No 1, “Davis’ Life Guards,” and ahost of“cjJizens genearlly.” Before their departure, they listened to a brief and eloquent address from Hon. Howell Cobb. May the blessings of Heav en attend them 1 We annex lists of the different compa nies: TCGALO BLCES—OFFICERS. W. T. Millican........ v ..Capt. W. G. Lester. 1st Lieut. David C.

Hillcy, Bank Convention. A Convention of the Bank officers oftho Southern Confederacy met at Atlanta, on the 3d instant, in pursuance of the request of the Legislature of Tennessee. G. B. Lamar,- of Georgia, was elected President, and James S. Gibbs, of S, C. Secretary. * ' ' The following report of the committee specially appointed for the purpose, em braces a full statement of the action of the Convention: Mr. Trenholm presented the following: Reportof tbcCommi Itee ofConven tion pf Banks, at Atlanta, June 3,1861. The Committee "bpg leave respectfully to report that they have carefully consid ered the several matters referred to them by the Convention, and recommend the adoption of the following resol utions, wh ieh; embody all the lucasures they would ad vise the Convention to adopt at present: Resolved, That this Convention do re commend to all tlie.banks in.the Southern Confederacy to receive in payment of all dnos to thorn, the Treasury notes of the same on deposit, aud pay them out to cus tomers. That uuti| the. said Treasury notes can be prepared and issued, it bo recommended that all the Banks do agree to avdance to the Government, in current notes, snch sums severally ns may be agreed, upon be tween themand the Secretary of the Treas-' ury—the said advance to be made on the deposit with .this banks of Treasury notes of large denomination, or 8 per cent. Stock or Bonds. That all the banks in the Southern Con federacy are earnestly urged to take im mediate action on the foregoing resolution, as a measnre of the greatest importance to the Government and the people, and communicate the same, without delay, to tho Secretary of the Treasury, at Rich mond. That it be recommended to all Railroad companies in tho Southern Confederacy, to receive the Treasury notes in payment of fares and freights. That the Legislatures of the several States do makj it lawful for their tax collectors, and other officers, to receive the Treasury nqtesih payment for all taxes and all oth er public dues. That all the States, cities and corpora tions having coupons payable in the city of New York, or elsewhere in; the enemy’s country, bo'requested, during the continu ance of the war, to appoint some place of i payment in the Confederate States, and to givo.their creditors notice of the same. That the Committee recommend that when.this Convention adjourns, it adjourn to meet again on tho 24th day of July next at Richmond, Ya. The resolutions were repd seriatim, and each one was adopted unanimously. Mr. Roberts offered the following:. Resoh cd, That a copy of the proceed ings of iliis Convention bo sent to each Bank within the Confederate States, with request that they co-operato with this Coventionl Adopted'unanimously. Mr. Rayenel stated ' that the Banks of Charleston/SAVannah and Augusta, had om in a man: o dwell upon, o fa mi lies residing on farms bad generally moved— tenor;* and thus avoided the insults and infamous treatment of the barbaric enemy. The woods back of Hampton Were for several da3 - s filled with the fugitive fami lies from that once smiling anu happy vil lage, and with such of iheirjiousehuid stuff a i they could cariy with them in the hurry of the alarm.’ They have probably, er€ this, obtained more.desirable lodgings.— Providentially they have had fine weather. -It is ascertained that there are full three hundred slaves belonging to citizens .of Elizabeth City, either ftigrtivbs hr forced t, weight, tboy have over seen, rular State. _ Inlimb, figure, height are equal to any people lha ... . and their features are very regular and prominent.. They are, indeed, as -unlike the ideal American of onr caricaturists and our stage as is the “ tailor” of the JPqrte St. Marjtiu tQ the English gentleman.” . Speaking of Charleston, he says:.“ The trees give the streets the air of « boulevard, and the town has, somehow or other, the reminiscence 6f the Hagne about.iY, whic|i I cannot explain or account for satisfacto rily.” AYe are uot prepared to say that Charleston resembles the Hague, hut it certainly has always, had to ns a foreign look-r-we cannot tell why. Mr. Russell might have added that its citizcnsare great ly distinguished for high-toned politeness and courtesy. This acknowledgement we think due to them from every ono.who has ever visited that hospitable place. The correspondent of tho Tinies gives the following description of Gen. Beaure- gard: “ Any one accustomed to soldiers can readily detect the “ real article” front the counterfeit, and when General Beauregard stood up to welcome ns it was patent that he was a man capable of greater’ things than taking Sumter. He is a~ squareTy- built, lean man, of about 40 years of age, with broad shoulders and legs “made to fit” a horse of middle height; and his head is covered with thick hair,, cropped close, and showing the bumps, which are reflec tive and combative,' with a trqe Gallic air, at the • back of the skull; the forehead, broad and.well developejl, projects sptne- wbat over tlie'keen, -eager dark eyes'; the face fe very thin, with .very high cheek bones,, a well Shaped noBo, slightly acqiti- line, and a large, rigid, sharply cut mouth,* set above a full, fightingchin. In the event of any important operations taking place, the name of this officer will, ! feel assured, be heard often enough to be my excuse for- this little sketch of his outward man.” Near the conclusion of his letter, he'ox- presses the following opinion as to what the result of the fight at Sumter would have been under other circumstances: “ Had Major Anderson been properly provided, so tbnt he contd have at once sent his men to the gnns, opened fire from those in barbette, thrown shell and hot shot, kept relays to all his casemates and put dut fires as they arose from red hot shot or shell, he must, I have no earthly doubt, have driven the troops off Morris’ Island, burnt out Fort Moultrie and silenc ed tho enemy’s fire. His loss might have been considerable; that of the Confederates' must have been very great. Demoniac Atrocities.
