Sloinan’s Concert.
We bad'the pleasure of altondiqg one
of the very agreeable Concerts of Mr. and
the Misses Seoman, at the Town Hall, on
Monday night. Mr. Suoman has been too
long known as a vocalist to need any com
mendation at our bauds. One song alone
—“ 1 wbai Cain”—is worth the price of ad
mission. The singing of the Misses Sto-
man and their artistic performances on the
piano and harp gave^ very general satisfac
tion. They appear to-night, for the last
time.* Go and hear them.
Two More Confederate Victories.
By a slip from the office of the Atlanta
Appeawe learn that Gen. Price met the
Federal Gen. Steele lately in Arkansas,
and defeated him with very heavy less.
Steeli; was retreating towards Little Rock.
About the same lime, Kirby Smith
thrashed Banks on Bed River. The latter
was retreating towards Natchez.

Change of Editors.
The Atlanta J)ai.ly Register, * Inch had
been suspended for some week'or two in
consequence of the “ printers’ strike,” has
been revived and sold to Messrs. Brown,
■WniTVER & Co. While under the Control
of Messrs. J. A. Sperry A Co., the Register
was (a part of the time at least) an ardent
and very effective supporter of the doc
trine of State sovereignty/ freedom of the
press, liberty of speech, &c. We believe
it hue changed its position, to some-extent,
within the past month or two.
“Hard Tack.”
Such is the title of a new literary paper
propped to ho issued from the office of the
Atlanta Confederacy. It will no doubt be
~ a good thingofthetkind. The best writers
have been secured, and it is expected to
mako it a first-class illuminated monthly.
Price' fifty cents per copy, to be purchased
of newsagents, &c.throughoutthe country.

Now^as -formerly, if we can ’whipi,-cap
ture, kill or drive off from our soil these
two invading armies, peaco would speedily
.follow. But we are in a .better situation
than heretofore. If our brave boys, fail
ing to drive off the invaders, can only'
maintain their present position until the
Federal Presidential election oomes off, we
believe the State Rights peace party of the-
•North will achieve at the ballot-box a
victory over the fanatical negro-worship
pers which will practically bring'tho war'
to a close, and that as soon as the new
President , is inaugurated, an honorable
peace will be made, in which our indepen
dence will be fully recognized.
Every thing depends, according to -our
ideas of the situation at present, upon
•maintaining intact our present position.
It will not do to fall back now. The Yan
kees must not 'be permitted to capturo
cither Richraofad or Atlanta. These are
the two vital points which must be guard
ed to the last extremity. Will wo be able to
bold both points ? * -
We think wo shall. The army of Vir
ginia is, and has been all right all the time.
The Yankees can’t get Richmond so long
as Gen: Lee commands that army. The'
army of the West, being freed Aom its
“ tailing back” General, has received now
life and vigor. Every man in it—as well
as every man, woman and child out of it—,
has the utmost confidence in old Joe John
ston; and when the trial comes, as come
it will, probably, before our readers receive
this paper, it will bo found that that army
will tight under his lead as they have never
fought before.
A Contrast.
Many farmers complain of the high
prices of newspapers, u.nd some of them
. - difianntinuo them in consequence. thereof.
Let us examine this matter a littt« v foy
contrasting the prices of papers with those
of agricultural commodities. To do this
fairly, we shall take for, illustration an
actual occurrence.
A week or two since, a lady‘sent us by
one of her neighbors a very fine bacon
ham, with instructions todeduct the amount
of one year's subscription and send her the
balance in money. After ascertaining the
weight of the ham, we found Two should
have to send her a receipt for one year’s
subscription and jiffy eight dollars, in money,
as tbo ham weighed twenty pounds,, and
was worth, in this market, $3.50 per pound 1
Before the war commenced^ when our
p/Tpor was published at two dollars a year,
we could h»ve paid for that ham with one
year’? subscription and fifty cents 1 Wo
do not mention this case to cast reflections
upon the worthy lady who sent the ham,
but Solely to show those farmers who so
■ lustily complain of the high prices of.news-
papers, that, high as they appear to be,
* they are -just no where, when compared
with the prices of farm commodities.
Before wo dismiss tbe bam in question,
„ we must give its subsequent brntory. Of
course an editor could not buy a $70 hatn;
but the very clover gentleman ‘ who did
pure jaso it informed us a day or two after
wards jhat it made just two meals for his
family and guests! Just .think of that!
Seve nty dollars for a ham winch was de-
v our id at two meals! This will give our
epun try friends some idea of tbe expense of
living in Athens at this time.
Carrying out the Law I
W have frequently Palled attention to
the*fact that Ordinaries in certain counties
are grossly abusing the discretionary pow-
era with which they Are entrusted, by
advertising-in papers of a smaller circula
tion than ours. Tbe object of the lqw in
'.requiring these publications to bo ’ mado
was 1o give /publicity to- them. When = an
Ordinary, therefore,'from partizan preju-
d'njfj, or other motives, refuses to publish irr*
the paper having tjie largest circulation in
his cdunty, he not only violates the spirit
of the law, but treats the people of the
contj^y with contempt, and defrauds the
estates of dead men by failing, to »ivp the
greatest possible publicity'to gales. &« in
which they are interested. -
Tfce worst case of this sort wo have heard
•of,wi that of an Ordinary in <i De of the
upper-counties, who advertises in a paper

The Columbus Enquirer entirely
mistakes the attitude of the Watchman
when hq classes it among certain papers
which he says are “becoming very em
phatic alid pathetic in jtheir denunciations
of war.” While tbe Watchman hil* never
believed that the Southern Confederacy is
able to overrun and Conquer tbe North, and
hence has never believed that fighting
alone will end tbe war—yet, at the same
time, ever since the Yankee armies in
vaded our territory, we havo held that
it is the primary duty of every' patriot in
tbe land to do all in his power successfully.
to repel thftt invasion. We still -believe so,
and furthermore have never advocated the
doctrine that the several States shall in
their State capacity make terras of poaee
with the Yankee Government. We do hot
know a single individual who advocated
such doctrine.
The article from which the Enquirer
quotes, was intended simply to show the
enormity of the wrong perpetrated by the
suspension of tho privileges of tbe writ of
habeas cordis by the late Congress. We
showed that inasmuch as the poor man
had no pecuniary inducement to fight, it
was an outrage to deprive him of his liberty,
which is his all.
As we have no idea the Enquirer intend
ed to misrepresent, our position, will our
courteous cotemporary havo the kindness
to eppy this, that we may bo set right be
fore his readers?

tfing-extract—to prove that 1
diers of that State are Bound;
such proof. From a long residence among .
them, we happen to know that there are
no stanneher friends of liberty on the foco
of the earth than the brave and true sons
bf“ the good-old North State.”
: t£ . I need not attempt toexpress my Mens'
as to what wcypJd bp pur condition in tease
of subjugation or re-construction; for the
latter, in name, would fie the former in
substance to ns. “ I am not a prophet, or
the sonof a prophet,” but I deem it'bey ond
the power of language to describe the suf
fering and disgrace that await us in that
event. I know there are some at homo
encouraging the war firho have' never ex
perienced its suffering—some - who have
as much right to fill their places in the
ranks as I or any body else-—yes, and more,
too, for.they have more at stake; but that
every thing does not go on to orir satisfac
tion, does not justify ns in rashly turning
against our own best interest and that of
a rising generation! I have; served in the
ranks ever since the straggle began; I
have been on several sanguinary . battle
fields; I have seen many special friends and
relatives pierced by the dread missiles of
of death ; I have seen the pi erejng glare of
their dying eyes, heard the hoarse death-'
rattle in rtieir throats, and listened anxious-;
ly to their dying words. We hada brother,
near to us, who bid much fairer for life
and usefutttess’than I, but whose life is
sacrificed on the common altar to the cause
of liberty. Almost every "one can say as
much. And shall \ve. in the bathe of God!
in the name of the lamented ones whose
bones lie mouldering bn many a blood
stained field; in the name of our good
mothers, our wives or sweethearts, and a
rising generation shall ive, can we, give
up a straggle that embraces all wo bold'
dear?
No one is more anxious for peace than
I; no one could better appreciate it. No
one cun love bis mother or friends better
than 1. I serve in much weakness, being,
as you know, an invalid, aid often have I
plodded my. way on the weary march, till
all my patience was exhausted. I am tired
of war.. I want peace—I pray for peaeo—
aud that is why l am in favor ef a prose
cution ‘of the war,JLhat wo may conquera
peaco that will be worth the nnm*V j-

Hfo.” Of meat,‘or bacon, there is an nbun-
dancofor both army and people. Wo be
lieve that the tithing law will amply pro
vide for the former. The statement in
yestefylay’s^telegram from Richmond that
five millions of'poimds will be realized in
Georgia from this tax is wide of the mark.
Double that quantity would be a low«esti-
tndte. Wo happen to know that tho little
county of Calhoun, in Southwestern Geor
gia,itos already furnisbbd'100,000 pounds,
and more coming in. This little county
contains’ only two land districts, or 288
square mules. It is thus about a two-bun- f
dredlh part of the area of the State, and
is far below an average of a large majority,
of counties in density of population and
wealth. -
At this ratio, then. Georgia wili furnish
over 20,000,000 of pounds; at half the ra
tio over 10,000,000 would be furbished.'—
It is. believed that Dougherty, cfmnty—ad
joining Calltbun and of precisely the sarie"
area;—will yield 300,000 pounds. Tbe
collector at Americas has already received
1,000,000, pounds of bacon from three
counties, of which Sumter alone furnished
over 500,000. We* thitk it entirely ffafe -
then to sa3 r that the tax in kind in-|his
Stato will yield 10,000,000 pounds of
bacon.' _ . ' ;
Estimating that we have 250,000 men
in Hie field this side of the Mississippi, and
one-third of a pound of bacon per day to
ilie than, and Georgia alone will feed the
Confederate armies four mounths. Ala
bama will do nearly as well, but suppose
that it will require all the remaining States
with Alabama to do as Well, and we have
bur brave men irt the field wcil fed till
January next. Ip this calculation we have
omitted any account of the reserves and
detailed men throughout the country be
cause the purchases.of the Commissary
agents will fully meet their : requirements.
We find in these facts a pregnant source
of encouragement for our-cause. Assu
rance of their truth will lend Ktrengh io-
thc will and-vigor to the arm of -tbo^Con-*
federato soldier, and will energize the faith
and hope of the people in our ultimate tri
umph. ' .-
jgy Ifthe afiove calculation, wifi eh »is
copied from the Afdanta Confederacy of
Sunday, be correct, we feel greatly relieved.
We feared the. army would suffer. It
seems, however, it has been, abundantly
provided for. Wfiat are the non-producers
at home to* do, however, when every body
Wfuses tO sell to them ? Mus*t they starve?
Explanatory.
Many persons whose subscriptions began
just alter a change of rates—thraking'they
were gettihg tho paper at the former rates
—have written to us when. their time ex
pired, complaining that a mistake.had been
made. For example, G. T. M. sent ns on
the 10th of last June $3, for which we cred
ited him till the 10th of March, 1864—
three fourths of ayear-7-at which time hip
paper was discontinued. Wo received a
letter the other day complaining of a mis
take. We have made no mists ke. The
rates of subscription! wero raise*! oh. the
1st of Juno last from $3 to $4 per year.
On the 10th wo received $3, which only
paid for nine months—three-fourths of a
? ear - • .
‘We make this statement, to save the
trouble and expense of writing a dozen or
more letters of explanation every week.
Many' persons are now»sending ns $2 to
pay for throe monthb subscript] oh: The
rates were advanced some ihreo weeks ago
—it now requires $3 to pay for 8 months,
or one dollar per month. We cannot an!
dertake to return by mail these remit-.
. tanees. We therefore do tbo next best
thing within our power, viz; credit the
party with two months’ subscription.
Those who arc not willing to pay a dollar
a month for tho Watchman mnf “go further
and fare worso,” as many of Iho weeklies
are charging four dollars for three months,
and some /ive. The truth is, all weekly
newspapers ought to be $30 ay oar, to pat
them on a level wijh the prices* of *other
■Commodities. ■ 1 •

A farnier in one of the upper counties,

The Sovereignty of the States.
Tbe action of-th<ylate Congress has been
jhstiy the cause of much censure, particu
larly the suspension of the writ of Habeas
Corpus. This has been regarded in Eng
land, and has ever been regarded in this
country, till recently,* as thegreat bulwark
of personal-liberty. James II. of England,
ambitions of absolute power, insisted that.
Parliament should give him a standing
army, repeal the Test Act, and repeal also
tho Habeas Corpus Act. His Parliament,
though quite obsequious, resolved to db
neither. He insisted, and it cost him his
crown. Yet we, boasting of our institu
tions,'do in the nineteenth ccotmy what
England, refused to do over one hundred
and eighty years ago.
What is our object in this war, which
has already cost rivers of. blood and bun-‘
dreds of millions of dollars ? It is to main
tain the absolute and,complete sovereignty
of the States. Other issues havo sprung
np, but*they grow outrof and are insepa
rably connected With this.
Let na go fntfi a brief .examination . of
the political history of the tJnited States,
to see whether or no wo are right in main
taining the entire sovereignty of the States
from any and all 6'pposition, come from
Vthat ^natter it may.
Before our revolutionary war, there w’ere
thirteen colonies, all owing allegiance t'6
Groat Britain, but wero all separate, dis
tinct, and independent of one another.—
The ffssertion—and the attempt to enforce
it on the part of Great Britain—of a right
to tax us without ..our- consent, and the
denial qf this Tight on our part, lod to the
seven years’ struggle by which we estab
lished our independence. • <*•
The Articles of Confederation, which
were adopted by the States, that the'y
might the better «ac hi eve the great end in
view, did not change the ebaraetor of the
States, but ?by the: express words of those
articles; each State retained its freedom,
sovereignty and independence. When
Great Britain recognized-us she did not do
it as a nation or as a people, but each State
for itself.
A few years’ experience clearly demon
strated tho imbecility of the Articles of
Confederation. The* laws of' Congress
Amounted to * nothing more than recom!
mendations. for the want of a Feddifal Ex
ecutive and Federal Judiciary to enforce
them. Legislation, in fine, was foriSjtates
in contradistinction to individuals. To
Tornedy this great evil, to . have a govern
ment ol more vigor, a government that
wonld, through the magistrate, extend the
lawb .directly to the people, tho Constitu
tion was adopted in 1787. .
The Constitution did not, in the least
change the individual character of the
States. It only gave vitally where there
was none before. The whole instrument
from.beginning to end, shows that it was
a compact between the States, fiy which a
general agent was created with certain!
powers for tho good of each, fthe ce l 0 .
■brated i-ebolutiftns of 1798-99, and the re-
port thereon.by Mr. Madison, are concln
sive iff fivor of the entire sovoreiantv of
the States. : - . *
If, then, the States are sovereign, they
have the right, at any rime, with or with
out cause,' to secede. Had this doctrine
been admitted, what carnage, wbatinjteory,
the Boag^j ■
oreignty ? rrg ,
.■ H 5tl, “ poweia which

o other light than as «
ation. No powers should
.10 any one or body of men, C
. Jhn tlfo;jea»t on the Boverei g r lt ‘
the States. Ir preserving thefc in
lies oar'safety. The Confederate Govern
ment, or aither department thereof, should '
exerciso'iyo power except that which *=
delegated , or that which is necessary f'o
carry out a delegated power. J
Constitutional liberty, State soveroignty
should be considered as dear as life ft 8e if '
and we should defend it as well against
misguided fnondu as implacablo loes —

in men and two little regard for principle

~ A PROCLAMATION. -
To all Civil and Military Officers of the
§tate of Georgia :
The lawsvor this State make it an offence
.punishable by fine'and imprisonment, the
former not to exceed $5000 und the latter
not to extend beyond twelve months, for
v Rny person,-wbet ver a contractor under
the Confederate Goverment, or other per-
son, to make or cause to be made, withia
; this State, any whiskey, alcohol, or other
spirituous or malt liquors, from the articles
of corn, wheat, r ye, barley, oats, millet,
rice, or other grain, or from the articles
of sugar, molasses, -syrup, sugar cane
honey, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, peas,
Irish potatoes Ol fo’ied fruit, in any forin
or condition of said articles, or from any
nfixtuvp thereof, without a license from
the Governor of this,Stato. ,
The statute also declares every still so
run illegally |Q be a public nuisance, and
provides how it shall be abated. And
makes it the duty of tho public officers of
Ihis'Btate, and tf eir deputies, Justices of
the Inferior Courts and Justices of tho
Peace, and each Grand Juror, to give in
formation of, and present, all persons who
may violate the provisions of tho act.
And i t jis also made the duty of-tbo Justices
of the Peace and the Justices of the Infe.
rlor Courts to diligently inquire about ev
ery such still as may he either publicly or
clandesi. nely Tun.in bis district or coun
ty, and upon the proper evidence being
before. M in, either that the still or stills are
run iljcgally, or that unlawful sales of
Spirits t.re made iiom the proceeds of such
stills, by the owner of such stills, or his
agent, to issue his warran-t against the
party or parties and the titill or stills, wh ich
shall be delivered to the Sheriff of the
county, who shall arrest the party and
seize the still.
The law also requires each licensed dis-
tiller. before he obtains license, to file his
written affidavit in the Executive office,
in Wtfieh;,ho shall swear that he will not
make, or causott*’ fie made, more whiskey
or ot bei- sp;rituo!is liqdors, out of the srti-
clos'inentibned in the statute, than tbo
nu mber of gallons specified in said license,
aud declares that .any person violating said
oath shall be guilty of false swearing, and
upon conviction, be punished as provided
by the laws of this State for the offence of
false swearing. Which oath in writing
has been takb.n and filed in the Exocutivo
office in every ease in which a licenso has
been granted^ The law also declares that
-if any person or '.persons shall refuse to
permit his, her or their distillery or dis
tilleries to be visited and inspected, such
refusal shall be hole! and construed as.prima
■fitch evidence of a violation of the act.
This refusal is therefore sufficient evidence
upon which^to convict the pai ty, unless he
-pvo'ves that he has not been guilty of vio
lating the law, as it basts upon him tho
burden of proof.
Tbe statute jriso deblares that every
diay’a, or part ofA day’s dlstiiration, shall
be deemed a seps rate and distinct offence.
The party clistilh ng illegally should, there
fore, be indicted separately for each day,
orpartofa day, be has run his still illegally,
and it is the duty of public officers to see
“ that such indieaiions are begun and prose
cuted against all such offenders.
If the stills are now running, each public
officer‘should enquire into ifcr and if tbo
party has not a license from the Governor
bo should sue out a warrant before the
Justice ot the pence, or the inferior Court,
or other judicial efficer, for each day tbe still'
has run, as ho would sue out a warrant tor
robbery -theft, or other crime, and upon the
production of satisfactory evidence of
probable cause of guilt, the Justice should
bind over tfie offender in sofficient bond,
for hisappearan«ie at the next Superior
Court, and on failure to give the bond,
should commit him to jail to await his trial,
or trial fi, as-the lase may be.
The ilatuio-dcclarca further that, “For
non coiiipliahee with the provisions °*
this ae i each oflicer failjng promtply .and
fully tc do-his duty shall be guilty of mal-
pracliei in office, und it shall be the duty -of
the grind' jury to make presentments
thereof.'- *
Now, notwithstanding these stringent
provisions of the law, I bave.reason to be
lieve that avaricious persons who regard
not the cries of women and eftiidreu for
bread, and if they can make money by
converting ft into whiskey,’ are constantly
violarin g these’laws,mod that officers are
