SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. T. f. HOWARD and R. A. CRAWFORD, C0-XDITOKS. ATLANTA, UEOnGIA. MONDAY, MARCH 18, 18(51. Letter* from Mavauualu Savannah, March 15, 1SAJ. On meeting of th* Convention this rooming, Hods. Alexander II. Stephen*, Thomas R. K. Cobb, aud E. A. Nisbet appeared »n<l took their Mat*. Mr. Hilt of Troup, mo red to reconsider the action of the Convention ol Wednesday last, by whioh the first section of the Reduction Or dinance, a* proposed by Mr Clark of Dongh- criy, eras adopted. On this motion, a very iulerrtiing and aole debate sprung up, in which Mr. Hill, Mr. Xsnau, Mr. T. R. K. Cobb, Mr Chastain and others participated. Mr. Hill announced that, as the House of Representa tives dow did not represent population, and as the Senate under the new arrangement would not, be should oppose the measure on its pas sage, unless come plan he adopted so that one branch of the General Assembly represent the people and the other tho territory. Mr. Cobb made the same announcement. Both were in favor of Reduction, and especially wanted tho Senate reduced. The plan of Mr. Clark, so fsr as adopted, was agreeable to them, but they desired an equitable plan, by which the popu lation of the State would be fairly represented in the House. The Convention, ly a vote of 113 to 121, refused to reconsider. It is now ev ident that there will be as much contrariety of opinion about arranging the State into Senato rial districts of three counties each, as is possi ble for the same number of men to entertain oti any subject. This will probably defeat the measure; and If there were timo to consider the question, it is almost certain that this Con vention would not agree upon any plan fir the retirraugomeut < f the Home in three months. From tho announcements made by leading members this morning, the plau for the Senate, already agreed upon,cannot finally pass unless the House can ho % t.efuct>ri!y arranged. The subject was passed over. Tin* consideration of the new Constitution is set apart for ton o’eock to morrow. No doubt it will ho ratified before oigUt. Communications from our Stale Commission ers to North Carolina, Maryland, and Louisi ana, giviDg an account of their missions, were read. Dr. Logan cf your eour.ty, suhrniltad the fol lowing resolution, wl»i> h was unanimously adopted: Resolved, Tbut the "Committee on the Con stitution uud laws" be instructed to inquire into tho propriety of reporting an Ordinance to this Convention, consenting t> the location of the permanent Capital of the Confederate States ot America within tho Stale of Georgiu, and granting limited jurisdiction over such territory as may be necessary for that pur pose.” If Maryland and Virginia do r.ot secede, Georgia cau have the Capital located in her limits by the asking. This, 1 beiiovo, is conce ded by those whote opinions arc worth most.— If we do have tho Capital, Atlacti is the. fa vorite spot of rlin<>st every ono. I find that merchants in the interior have some trouble about getting their goods through the Curtxu II mao here. They seem to suppose that because all goods shipped from Northern ports prior to this day, which were purchased before the 2Sth of last month, come in duty free, there are no formalities required to pass them, only evidence of having been purchased and shipped at the proper timo. In every case, invoices showing the cost, and date of purohasc, and bills of lading showing the date < f ship ment and number of packages, is required. Orders to tho North f»r foreign goods, will now cease to be made. We cannot afford to pay for goods that have come from Europe and ure taxed with two tariffs. As it will require some time to get Direct Importation udder way, it ia fair to presume that not many goods will ho imported before n<xt fall, uud that our receipts ot customs on imports will be small for six or eight months. Extensive arrange ments ore being made, however, to get Direct Trade with the Old World under way, which aro sure to succeed and work well. 8. 8ava*xaii, Match 16. 18(11. Editors Southbun CoNTtcnKRAcr: The Permanent Constitution of the Confed erate States of America wns adopted to-day by a unanimous vote. I doubt whether a more harmonious body of any considerable size, has ever convened. All honor to the true patriot ism by which tho Convention of 18(11 has been to eminently distinguished. It was supposed that probably ait adjourn ment would probably have taken place to day, but tho Reduction of the Legislature has not yet been completed, und there are several oth er matters of importance to bo considered. Tho pressing necessity of a revision of the Consti tulion of the State was so strongly urged by tho ablest men of the Convention, that it was decided to instruct the Committee on the Con stitution and Laws to take the work in hand and report such alterations ns, in their judg ment, were necessary. This will prolong the session some days, and a final adjournment will not probabfy be obtained the 2-'id instant. The report from Charleston h not so favora ble to day. It is not yet considered here abso lutely certain that Fort Sumter will be evacu ated. P. Fort Sumter. The "Washington Stales" of tho 14th iu- stuntsay-; A distinguished geutieuian from South Carolina, at present in the city, was yes terday assured, by Lieutenant-General Scott, that tho troops would bo withdrawn from Fort Bumter, and that the views touching that lo cally expressed in the “Slates'’ were well founded. This action will tako place on the recom mendation of a hoard of army officers. Southern official Printing;, ^Lc. The Washington .States, of the 14th instaot says: Georgs 8. Gideon, Keq., of this city, who his berstofort had some connection with contracts for binding the account and other record books and furnishing stationery for out Government, is 1u receipt of an order from the proper Government of the Confeder ate States at Montgomery, directing him to furnish duplieafei or all th* books and forms used in tho different departments herf. The Flag; of tire Confederate Mates* In response to inquiries from several corres pondents, we subjoin a diagram of our National Ensign. Tho Flag consists of three stripes of equal width—the first red, th* aeeond white, and the third red—with a square of blua in the extreme left-hand corner, at the top, on which are seven white stars in a circle—thus: Mgjor General of the First Division* It will be seen by the following letter that Col. Henry K. Jackson luis resigned the office of Mu Jor-General of the First Division of Georgia Volunteers, in favor of that distinguished sol dier. Col. Wm. If. T. Walker. The letter speaks for Itself, nud Is highly honorable to Col. Jack- sou's head and heart: Savannah, March 14, 1801. His Excellency Gov. Drown : My Dear Sir—When, some days ago, 1 ac cepted the posiiion of Major General of ihe 1st Division of Georgia Volunieers, which you did me (he high honor to teuder to me, the name of Gen. W. II. T. Walker was not in the mind of either of us disconnected from the regular service. It is needless to any that be is, in many respects the most marked military man in Georgia. Educated at West Point, ami for twenty years a soldier by profession, the world aid recognize the fact that, in the nature of thiDgs, be must be far more competent than I to organizo and prepare for the field a large body of troops, in addition to this he is dis tinguished above nil men by the scars lie hears upon his person, in proud appreciation of which his State, years ago, presented him the sword which he now so proudly wears. 1 feel profoundly that 1 cannot continue to hold a position which legitimately belongs to another. I am aware, however, that the same gener osity which led Gen. Walker to accept a place, which he knew to be subordinate to mine, will induce him to insist upon my not relinquish ing the latter in his behalf. 1 beg, therefore, to say in advance, that should he decline it, .'0 will I. To yourself allow me te return you my sin ere acknowledgements for the honor confered upon mo. Very respectfully, Votir ob’t servant. IIENRV R JACKSON. The Grant Factory* This is one of the several Cotton and Woolen Manufactories in and near Columbus. It is situated within the corporate limits of the city immediately ou the Chattahoochee river, and was established about the year 1S44, and orig inally kuowo hs the “ Coweta Manufacturing Company.” The proprietors now are Messrs. Daniel and John J. Grant, of this city. The capital stock amounts to $60,000. The disbursements per annum are as fol’ows: For labor, $12,000 ; sundry expenses, $5,000; for Gotten, $40,000 ; tor wool $10,000; making, in all, $05,000, ^Le Company manufacture, per annum, 800 bales of Osuahurga, 480,000 yards; a00 bales of yarn, 78,000 pounds: 200 hales of kerseys, 80,000 pounds; and 6,000 pounds of rope, thread, Ac., Ac. The total value of the productions amounts to $31,000, from which taking the disbursements, $05,000, leaves $16,- 000, The Company give employment to about 80 hands, male and lemsl*, the preference to the latter, for the excellent reason that it is much easier for males to shift for themselves; while by giving the preference in employment to fe males, tnaoy indigent widows and families are, we may say, rescued from absolute starvation. The operatives appear to be coutenUd and are paid according to their competency to earn wages. Borne can manage only one loom' while others can easily manage from three to four. Many poor families, composed entirely of females, and dependent upon thsir manual labor, are thu9 secured adequate means for their support, and with proper economy, may grad ually accumulate a competency. The factory is located at the bead of the Ca nal for bringing into requisition the water pow er to the city Factories, and has superior ad vantages on account of it. The articles man* ufactured nre Kerseys and plain white Osna burgs exclusively ( but we learn that the Com pany intend, in Discourse of a few weeks, to commence the manufacture of 8trif»ee, being already engaged in the necessary preparation*. This improvement was demanded by the In crease of their business and tho growing de mand for that description of goods. During our visit, we observed that the gen tlemanly and efficient Clerk and book keepsr, Mr. O'Keefe, was filling a large order forOsna- burgs for au extensive mercantile establish ment in 8(*lma, Ala. We are glad to learn that the success of the establishment warrants an enlargement of its buaiuess, and take it as in earnest of the continued prosperity which is destined tocrown the manufucluringenterprii- c» of this “LowoH of the 8outh,”—Co/umbos Run.

Mr* Cobb's Resolution mnd ftouthwrtt Lit erature. Mr. T. R. K. Cobb, n brother of th* Into 8m rotary of th* U. 8. Treasury and th* Provident of tb* Coo federate Congrt**, 1* u g*otlo- . mao of acknowledged latent tad tb* author of ■ a thoughtful book on Afrio** *1**017, bul lb is it Mr. Cobb’s debut in nation*! legislation, I and notwithstanding bis talents b* Is not alto- , g*th*r exempt from lh* fault* of dahutanl leg 1 islet ort—excessive zeal in originating me.s , urea and lack of experience iu th* application 1 of theories to facts. Witness the following, exlrao>ed from the proceeding* of tbe Congress ; on the 7th Inst. : Mr. T. R. R. Cobb, of G*., offered the fol- { lowing resolution in relation to io(*roaiionsl copy rights, which was adopted : VYhkheas, Great Britain, Franc*. Prussia, j Saxony and other European poweis have pas j sed laws to secure to authors of oth*r States ' the benefits and privileges of their copy right laws, upon condition of similar privileges be | ing granted by the laws of such State* to au ! tbors, tbe subject of the powers aforesaid— I therefore, Jit {t resolved by the Congress of ihe Confeder ate States, That tho President be and be is hereby authorized to instruct the Commission ers appointed by him to visit the European powers, to enter into treaty obligations for the extension of international copy-right priv ileges to all authors, the cilixeus and subjects of the powers aforesaid. The resolution wns adopted Such resolu tions always are, when introduced by n man of good standing among bis colleagues and who is supposed to have paid attention to the subject. Few care lo raise objections against a thing in which, if they cannot discover any positive good, they cannot immediately dlscov er any positive harm. A geutlemau of Mr. Cobb’s literary reputation was just the man to have stioh a resolution passe 1 without de bate or distent. A warm friend to Southern Literature he no doubt is, and Le is probably thoroughly familiar with the whole theory of international copy-rights and all the abstract reasoning in favtr of that theory, but he sure ly cannot have contemplated ihe practical effect of the application of that theory to our case. If, instead of Colton, our chief exports, like those of Ancient Attica, were statues and books, Mr. Cobb’s resolution would be of trans parent propriety and usefulness. But our ex ports being Cotton aud not books and statues, it is somewhat difficult to discover tbe advan (ages of international copy right trvaiies wuh foreign nations The disadvantages, however, are manifold and glaring. Evety one knows that in Europe, and espe cially in Englnud whose literature is tbe most important to us, books, for a variety of rea sons. are much costlier tbau with us, and that we habitually buy Ihe intellectual productions of European authors at one third or one fourth of the cost at which they stand to tbe country men of these authors. We can procure a good readable edition of tbe British Essayists, for instance, for $11 or 5*12, which (somewhat handsomer gotten up, it is true,) would cost an Englishman at home so many guineas. We have four of the best British Review* mud tbe best of the British monthlies for $10 per an num, leas tbuu the English subscription price of any one of these periodicals. Mr. Cobh’s proposition is, in effect, that we should pro teot European authors and putdiehers in their rights and their prices provided that our an thors und publishers be situiUrh protected in theirs. As well propose that \ e should pro tect the wines of Fraucc. provided Louis Na poleon protcots our Catawba* and Isabellas. Frankly speaking, we have as yet no litera ture affording us a fair ba«U for exciiango with foreign countries. Our na'ionmlity is of yesterday ; tho ideas upon which it rests yet iu their infancy ; some of the Btates of this Confederacy are not older that) the average of their ifibabitants; book unking is as yet a holiday pastime, and book publishing an un tried experiment. Is this »* confession of weakness? By no means. No more than saying that a young child cannot wrestle with a strong man. or that ibis idsss and opinions of the most promising college boy ate not the matured intellectual fruit* of the same bey twenty year* older. The wild flower* of gen ius we have in profusion, the garden products of time and art we hnve not and cannot have. Our Governmental and administrative genius as a people proves that in medal gifts we are more than the equal of any nation on God's earth, but to do in on* hour what others need ed centuries to do, is a gift that is out bestow ed on us. An scorn will not grow into ad oak in a day. No man has higher hopes or a deeper love for a Southern literature than we, aud it is its blighting effect on that, oauses us so earn estly to oppose Mr. Cobb's resolutions while it is yet time. Let us freely avail ourselves of the science and the thought of other nations, especially those whom Providence has made the depositories of (he noble acquisitions of our race. Our thought will be the more profound thereby, our knowledge tbe more accurate — Let us buy their books cheap and make them accessible lo the mats of the people; our standard of taste will he raised thereby. Let our publishers republish these books at no oth er cost but tbe paper and ink and the labor; the better oble they will be thereby to offer suitable compensation to native talent. Lei our magazines and newspapers, without fear of international copyright, enrich themselves with the literary gems of every mine; the more active will be the emulation of home contributors to equal those models. Oris there any fear that our authors may suffer by tbe faneied injury we should do lo foreign authors in using their labors ? In the nature of things it must be many, many years before we can expect to contribute to the lit erature of the civiUed world as much as we receive. Europe is the cradle of our race aud the appointed custodian of our share of the common heritage of tbat race. In its dense populations, its ama*sed wealth, its great capitals, Its immense accumulations of literary and artistic treasures, U has so many focuses in which the scattered rays of human thought concentrate into a vivifying flame.— It is comparatively easy to be a composer, wlter* one can nightly hear th* best music of all ages—easy to be a man of science where one has every appliance and tbe concurrent •xperiaaeate of distinguished associate at command—easy (0 be an artlei with all tbe modele constantly before one’s eye*—easy to be* historian with the key to tbe most recon dite annuals in your hand and the dally inter, course of men similarly engaged to encourage and asaist. In all these treasures we have a shar*; we are a swarm of tbe same hive; we have an inherited right to them es members of the Caucasian race. L*t u* not, then, inter pose artificial barriers to our intellect uei.in- tercours* with the civilized world, but let us rather promote aud facilitate that intercourse to quiekeo, cultivate, chasten the native talent and genius which are not the offfprlog of net and time, and with which Heaven ban abnf* dently blessed oar people.

These will pass quietly into the possession of the Southern Confederacy. Affairs In Houdtiras. Through our New York rxehange* we have later intelligence from Belize, Honduras. The Bay Islands have not been taken possession of by Uonduraa, tbe government appearing to think that they will be more trouble than profit. Tbe troubles between the government and clergy of Honduras have been rapidly taking a dangerous form in that country. Tne viesi general of the Metropolitan diocese excomrnu uicated the President and members of bis gov ernment for introducing heresy through the treaty of cession of the Bay Islands, which guarantees liberty of conscience to all u«*n- Catholics. The President has retaliated by stripping the vicar of his functions and ban ishing him from the country for endeavoring to excite rebellion. It was feared that tbe trouble with tho clergy inay bring about a rev- olution. From tho Herald’s c >rresnnndenre wo extract tbe following: Tbe Bay Islands are not yet given up t<» Hon duras, nor is there much likelihood that they will be, as Guardiola and bis friends think they will bo more plague than profit to the State; so they are content to let them alone. Mr. Mo rin, tho magistrate of the Iljy Islands, is here. He has been ill, but is now better, and has brought his family hero in order to send them home for their health, lie has received the appointment of public treosurer at Belize, and will enter on his dutieB as soon as the Bey Is lands are taken over by tbe Slate of Hondu ras, or when his successor arrives, should the colony of the Bay Islsrds be rejected bv the state of Honduras. The troubles between the Government and clergy of Honduras grew out of tho provisions of the treaty of cession of the Bay Islands, by which non-Catholic* are permitted lo worship according to their individual notions and pleas ure On the death of Bishop Flores, which oc curred about the time of the cession, the Vicar Capitular of the Metropolitan diocese, Don Miguel del Cid, actuated by hia apostolic zeal and hatred of the heresy, published a decree of excommunication against President Guar diola and all his aiders and abetters, for tbe alleged reasons that tbe death of the Bishop and the free introduction of heresy were the work of the Government. The decree of excommunication was posted all over the capital and distributed throughout tbe republic, causing profound sensation in the minds of the people, calculated to produce the worst results to the peace of the country and the perpetuity of the government. President Guardiola, therefore, felt himself called upon to issue a decree depriving the Vicar of his functions, banishing him from Honduras, and ordering the destruction of his publications. Guardiola is still in great dread of filibus ters, and continues to watch all eiticens of the United States who come into the 8tate. He hopes the secession movement will succeed, and expects if it docs to see the United State* in the same situation •• the Central American statea are now. An American citizen, named Duty, formerly from Missouri, an atubroiype artist, was lately murdered on hi* raturn from lbe capital of Honduras. He had about $2,000 in cash with him. Trade eontinuea dull. In fact, since Walker toook Truxillo, Belize hes had little or no trade with the interior: and, what is much worse, the debts due from the interior then are due now, and 1 fear will always remeia due. The same apology is now made by the peo ple of Ruatan. No trade, no cash, and we can't pay, say they. Walker is th* excuse of th* poor and of tbe knaves, and th* latter are ten te one of the former: bat 00 got* th* world. A CARO.

T HE South Carolina Railroad Company hav ing determined to discontinue this Depart ment of their fervice, the undersigned, who has been the Forwarding Agent of the Compa ny for the last four years, has associated with him the Chief Clerk in the Department, and, under the name of Ganit A Stoney, will contin ue to receive and for warn such artiolrs os may be consigned to his cars. He trusts, by striet personal attention, to retain a very liberal share of the business of the Department. Parties are reminded that all goods reaching this point from points beyond tbe Confederate States of America, must be entered at the Cus tom House; and tbat duties sre payable on such as were Dot purchased on or before the 28th ot February last, and laden on ship board on or before the 15tkof March instant, save such as are on tbe Free Lists. It is, therefore, necessary that remittances be made to pay tbe duties, where duties are payable, and. »n alt cases, to cover the expense of Custom House entry, whether the goods are free or not. Prompt compliance will prevent delay aud expense, as all articles not entered and permitted will be stored by the Custom House officers. The South Carolina Railroad Company will advance, as heretofore, the charges of Freight, Drayage and Wharfage; but not the expenses connected with the Custom House. Rates of charging for forwarding will be very moderate, and may be had on application to Gantt A Stoney, to whom all business commu nications should bo addressed. The undersigned refers to tbe officers of the Charleston Railroad Company, to tbe Hon. Chas. J.
