TUESDAY, MAY 7, ISttl.
The Commtoatoner* Awi Vlfftoto.
Yesterday morning, it II o’cleok, th# Hon
Miwn. John W. Broekonborough md Walter
R. St*plot* two of teeCommiaatoaen from Vir-
(inin to tho Provblonal Congress it Xontgou-
•ry, passed through hero. On tho arrival of tho
con, iboy worn greeted by *n onihntiooiio
crowd, who, oftor giving throo ehoort for Old
Virginia, called for tho Gottnnfsiloiiers. In re
sponse, Mr. Brockenboroagh came forward.—
He is a fine looking specimen of tho Virginia
gentloman. Ho said the people of his State
had been greatly distracted among themselfee
on tho exciting subject of secession; bn t to-day,
thank God! she was a on it—moved by one pul
•ation ; and every throb of her groat heart was
for the rights of tho South; that every man
and every dollar within her borders would be
freely given, as in tho days of the Revolution,
to sustain our holy and just cause* and resist
the tyranny of the Abolition vandals who now
seek to desecrate our sacred soil and take away
our liberties. He said that Virginia did not
shrink from the conflict; that she had men
enough whose hearts were filled with patriotic
ardor to drive back our invaders; she only
needed guns, powder and shot. He said that
her oause was our cause—her rights our rights
—we were one people—identical in views, pur
suits, interests, education, religion, and the
biatoryof tbePast; and tbatone destiny await
ed us. Let us, said he, meet this conflict as be
comes the descendants of the Lees, the Carrolls,
the Henrys, Ac.; that even if the border cities
of his State should be laid waste and her fields
blighted by the foul tread of a vandal foe, the
spirit of her people was unoonquerable.
He retired amidst loud applause from the
large and appreciative audience.
Mr. Staples then came forward. He is a fresh,
bright, game looking man. For about thirty
minutes he electrified the crowd with the fire
of his burning eloquence. No synopsis that we
could possibly give, would do any sort of jus
tice, and we forbear making any attempt.
When lie retired, Hr. Gibbea, the celebrated
Surgeon of Charleston, came out and gave an
account of hia recent miasion to Virginia, from
South Carolina. He gave a glowing account
of the enthusiasm and spirit of the people all
through the interior of North Carolina and
Virginia; he also briefly referred to the battle
of Sumter—tbe character of the victory—that
it was entirely bloodless except an accident,
which killed and wounded juat sevtn of Andar-
aon’s man—one for each of the then seceded
States. He closed, ss the train started off,
amidst tha shouta of the enthusiastic multi
tude.
The Louisville “Journal” Slanders Gov.
Cobb.
The “ Journal ” of tho 27th ultimo contained
an article, representing that the Hon. Howell
Cobb, during his recent viait to Naw Orleans,
made speeches along the route, in whioh he
told the people not to fear the consequences of
a war with the North, on account of our hav
ing seceded; that the Border States would have
to bear the brunt of the battle—Kentucky be
ing one of them; that we, in the further South,
might go along with our planting and other in
terests as usual; that we would not bo disturb
ed ; tho Bordsr States would drive back our
assailants, Ac. This Is the idea. Wa have not
the paper before us from whioh to quote the
exact language.
Immediately on seeing it, we were satisfied
that there was not a word of truth in it. Wa
know Mr. Cobb to be a man of better sense
and better principles than the “ Journal’s ” ar
ticle would have people believe, and utterly
incapable of saying anything so wicked. We
at once aent him the paper, calling his atten
tion thereto, and have received |the following
reply:
Montgomery, May 4,1811.
Mkssrs. Editors : I have this mornsnt re
ceived the copy of the Louisville “ Journal,”
of the 27th of April, you inclosed to me. I have

cot. •#>-
Jo our Sen day mom log’s top** wep«tttob*i
a maple of Musts of tho Poaeacota cornspon-
dopt of tho Mobile Raw* giving 41 account of
a fellow wk# wont over to Bants Rosa Island*
by ooflapalllnf a negro to row him across tfce
Bay, and who was suppoeed to bo a spy from
tbs Linooln Govsrnmsnt. Soma intolliganee
has been reeeived from him, as wall ae af soate
other matters at Fort Pickens, which was
brought to Pensacola by two domrtsrs from
that Fort Those men say they enlisted in the
United States Army five months ego, as tfcey
wore than told, to fight againat the Indiana in
Texas and New Mexico—never dreaming that
they would be asked to draw their weapons
against their own countrymen. When erdered
to embsrk with their regiment for Fort Pick
ens, they protested and solieited a discharge,
bat without avail.
Before their arrival they, wilh a number of
others, meditated desertion. Several attempts
were made, but were unsuccessful.
On Monday morning, tha 29th April, after
muster of the loops, tbey strolled along the
beach several miles East of Pickens, when they
discovered on the shoro a small skiff, the prop
erty of some fishermen who had been in the
habit of camping on tho Island previous to the
order of General Bragg against drawing their
nets in that neighborhood. It was a crasy old
affair and leaked badly from exposure. But
they had gone too far to look back, and resolv
ed to brave the dangers of reaching the main
land, some four miles distant. In quick haste
the little boat was launched; the wind and
tide favored their course, and with light hearts
they steered for “Deer Point.” Half way across
the souud their boat filled with water. Divest
ing themselves of all clothing, tbey swam for
tha shore, whioh was reachodtin safety. Soon
afterwards the little Confederate coaat-guard
sloop, on her daily cruise, discovered them on
the beach, perfectly naked, and made for them.
Tbey were taken aboard, supplied with such
clothing as tha generous crew could command,
and in the afternoon transferred to the steam
er Cushman, which took thorn to the Navy
Tard, where they now remain.
They say many wish to derert, and only await
an opportunity; that the officers are suspicious
and watch each movement of aoldiers and sail
ors. They work day and bight on the Fort,
and in constructing batteries on different points
of tha Island. There are nine hundred and
sixty-five men on duty ashore. Col. Brown is
using every exertion to make his position im
pregnable. They have horses and two field bat
teries ; wagons to carry provisions and muni
tions to and fro, and all tbe necessary camp
equipage. They have some thirty negroes on
tha fsland at work; they were taken from their
owners at Kay West by force.
These deserters say that the “ Spy” who went
over to Pickens on the 25th April, has “turned
up.” He was arrested and sent aboard the sloop,
of-war Sabine. He told them he was connected
with a New York paper, acting in the capacity
of a Southern correspondent, and desired to be
sent to that city. No confidence waa placed
in hia story, and he waa immediately ironed,
and ao remains. He was in the Fort under ar
rest, when Gen. Bragg sent over the flag of
(rues to look alter him aa a thief, on tbe Satur
day after. Lieutenant Slemer knew this, when
tha men sent, made inquiry for him—buteva-
dad an answer to the question whether any one
had been arrested on the Island since Thursday
preceding.
These things we condense from the Penssco-
la correspondence of the Mibile Advertiser.
no time to answer in detail the editorial arti
cle in reference to myself. It is sufficient to
aay, that it is, throughout, a gross ntisrepra-
sentation. The paragraph in refarenoe to Gov.
Magoffin and Mr. Breckinridge is wholly with
out foundation, aa indeed is the whole spirit
and tenor of the article.
Respectfully, HOWELL COBB.
We ask tho “ Joui nal ” to do Mr. Cobb and
its readers the justice to make the proper cor
rection.

Unionism Dead In Tennessee.
Thursday, tbe 2d Instant, was the day ap
pointed by the Union party of Tennessee to
meet in Convention at Nashville, and nomi
nate a Union candidate for Governor. The
Convention met, but its members had become
Southern Rights men before assembling. The
proceedings are new before us. They say, in
their resolutions, that, “since their appoint
ment, the aspect of affsirs, both civil and mil
itary, have undergone a most alarming change.”
They did not go Into a formal nomination of a
candidate, but passed a resolution recommend
ing ex-Governor Wm.B. Campbell for the of
fice of Governor—not, however, in such a way
as to bind their delegates to his support. They
say, that. In their opinion, he is a “military
chieftain and civilian, of large axperianoe in
both departments; a man of known courage,
* honesty and integrity,”and that, in bis hands,
thay may expect to be protested during the
impending war. The Nashville “Banner,”
which was a strong Union paper till Lincoln
issued his proclamation, thus oloees an edito
rial on the action of the Convention :

tion, whether New York desires war, or intends

Kentucky to Elect Members to Abe’e
Congress.
Governor Magoffin hss ordered a special elec
tion for members of Congress, to be held on
Thursday, tha 20th day of June next. We
suppoee there will be Union and Secession can
didates ; that if tha latter are elected they will
not take their seats. In thia way tha sense of
the people will be effectually tested.
Weakness nt Washington.
A few days ago, we published an account of
tbe interview between Linooln and a commit
tee of the Young Men’s Christian Association,
of Baltimore, in which Old Abe made use of
many expressions showing conclusively that
he is stupid and a coward. The Northern pa
pers are publishing this reported conversation,
and plainly intimate Lincoln's incornpotency
and unfitnaaa for the place be holds ; and some
of tbe blackest say that be mast be superceded
—amongthem the “Tribune” and “Times.”
We beg to remind these journals that be is
their constitutionally elected Chief Magistrate,
sod they cannot depose him. Tbey have urged
us to accspt him because he was elected, and
have abused us soundly because we have re
fused. We hope they will not make wry faces
at taking the same physio tbey have tried to
force down tbe throats of others.
I arrived safely at thia point, and, though I
find the duties of a soldier a littla tougher than
I expected, end the fare tougher still, I am get
ting along pretty well. Bo far, I have good
health, and am in vary good spirits—none of
the latter article, however, is m me.
Our officers seem to be all gentlemen, in tbe
full sense of the term ; especially can I speak
of those with whom I have become acquainted.
Lieuta. Cleaveland, Anderson and Crawford, the
former of the Augusta “ Constitutionalist,” are
all kind and gentlemanly in their bearing;
consequently, they are brave, for an officer who
will, because be has the power, trample under
foot tbe rights and feelings of the helpless sol
dior—in other words, 44 kick a man when his
hands are tied”—hat no bravery nor humanity
about him, and would, I dare aay, be the first
to flee on the approsch of danger; and yet, I
would not be understood as condemning an of
ficer for having his orders performed promptly
or for punishing the guilty; on tbe other hand,
the men, as a general thing, should be kept
under strict discipline, and made to know their
duty aud to discharge it. 7 here are some
privates and non-commissioned officers, with
whom i have become acquainted, who are, in
feeling, principle and education, very little, if
at all, inferior to tbe commissioned officers.
I never knew, until I came here, the value
of blue coats and brass buttons, and I would ad
vise any of my friends, if they should travel any
in this part of tbe country, to have a good stick
on hand, for I assure them it makes a “poto-
ful sight ” of difference in every respect. Tin
tups, too, bless my soul! bow valuable they are.
I even envy tbe days when, in swadling clothes,
I used to tumble about tbe floor and flourish
my little tin cup, for then I was at least an
owner of that; but now it is as much as I can
do to get one to eat out of. No mstter, though,
I came here to /earn, and I will be as “ rough
and ready ” as aoy of them.
As for a fight, I do not believe we shall have
any showing at all in this ro.v. Has “old Abe”
raved, or is he “ pitching in yet?” Do send me
a paper, and let me know what is going on in
the Big Camp, outside of Fcrt Pulaski. I know
no more of wbat is going on outside of the Fort
than does the veriest Arab of the Desert know
of the doings of the soldiers within the area of
our Fort. Besides this, I have never seen my
trunk since I left Savannah ; it is there some
where, with all tbe writing paper I had in it
I guess I will receive it in a day or two.
Tuesday, May 1.
I have, since writing the above, learned that
Capt McGill is to be our Captain ; that is, the
Captain of Company A, 2d Regiment He is
a very nice, gentlemanly looking man, and I
have no doubt but that he will prove kind-
hearted and generous to those under his charge.
To-day is the first day of May, and a bright
day it is too. The sun’s rays seem to vie with
each other in shedding their light; a gentle
breese it blowing, and everything betokens a
pleasant day.
Below us is Tybee Island; several volunteer
companies are stationed there, and would
doubtless give Lincoln’s hirelings a neat little
reception, were they to attempt an invasion of
our soil, or weters. Every boat is made to sa
lute our flag as they come in, and none dare
come without tbe Southern flag flying.
“I am glad I am in this army;” that is, if
we are going to have a fight; otherwise, I don’t
think I would like to be cooped up inside Fort
Pulaski for three years.
I had, in my trunk, one or two books of Po
etry and a Bible, but, having lost that, I am
without anything to read at all.
On the Railroads, coming to Macon and Sa
vannah, I found the Conductors very kind and
obliging. The Macon A Western Railroad
Conductors ara too well known in Atlanta to
Meed any praise from me. On the Central
Railroad, thoaa traveling, should they happen
with Mr. Courtenay, will be pleased with his
manners, and receive kind attention at his
hands. Vive la Courtenay !
But I must close. I have written this in
great haste, amid many interruptions, and
without proper conveniences.
Should anything happen worthy of note, or
that I can make interesting to your readers, I
shall be pleased to tend the itema to you.
Farawall, now, and beliave me, as ever,

If tbe Fourth Brigade of Georgia Volunteers
is allowed the opportunity, it will give o good
account of itoelf, and, If permitted, will be

A nicer set of gentlemen cannot be found in
any Brigade, than the officers assembled at
"Camp Brown.” Many of them are consistent
members of the churob, sad, so far as wo know,
temperate, clear headed men, just such men as
ought to ba entrusted with the honor and lives
of our volunteer soldiery. I found many old
acquaintances in camp, aud all wide awake in
preparing to defend tbe oause of Georgia and
tbe South. General Phillips is entitled to many
thanks for his kindness and polito attentions.
If the country accepts his services, already
tendered, to serve in any way desired, be will
prove himself, every inch, a man.
Whoever mcetc the military of tbe South, if
tbey are like thoae I have met, will observe
that there is no bombast in their present move
ments. They are in dead earnest, and will nev
er leave the battle field alive without victory.—
They are in the cause which we believe God
will bless, defend and cause to triumph. Heav
en bless its defenders and grant ua a speedy
and eternal deliverance from the treachery,
tyranny and troubles of Northern fanaticism.
It is worthy of special notice that at “Camp
Brown,” every officer is rendered familiar, as
the nature of tbe case will admit, with the du
ties of office from Brigadier-General, down to
the lowest office.

Camp Brown—Fourth Brigade lu Camp.
Editors Southern Confederacy:
Sire—A visit to “Camp Brown” has afforded
me great pleasure, and satisfied me entirely of
the wisdom of the Governor in calling tbe offi
cers of the Fourth Brigade into encampment.
Cordiality and good feeling seemed to pre
vail, and an evident desire to improve in dril
ling was manifest to all. Brigadier-General
Phillips is quite popular with his Brigade, and
ardently devoted to its improvement. The Gen
eral, and I may say the entire Brigade, are
anxious, very anxious, to be called into service
at onee, and, if need be, apill their blood in the
earliest of the fight of the Confederate States
for their deliverance from tbe foul and tyran
nical rula of the Lincoln Government
Major Capers, elegant in hia manners and
thoroughly fitted for his duties, aided by his
Cadets, as they are detailed by him to drill the
various “squads,” prove the absolute need, fn
such times aa these, of military educated men,
without naming others, and there are many
noble spirits at “ Camp Brows.” I may safely
aay the spirit of improvement is general; and
1 am sure that no money hat ever been spent
more wisely by the 8tste, thsn that devoted to
this encampment.
Tha enoampment desires to remain longer to
prepare better for the coming cor diet, end we
hope the Governor will gratify so laudable a
dee ire by eowtlnoing the encamp meet another
week at least. Bot the improvement already
made, and the spirit to continue improving,
aroused by thia gathering, will make the Fourth
Brigade, If evefr celled on for active service, a
body of men worthy the admiration of any
pwpU.
For tbe Southern Confederacy.
The Tallest.
If any section of the country can match a
liberty pole now standing at Williams A Mc
Lean’s Mills, on Peach-Tree Creek, five miles
from Atlanta, we would like to hear who does
it and where.
The first one hundred feet of the matchless
flag-staff is a Lombardy poplar—now thirty-
five years old—girting about nine feet at tbe
ground, and is altogether the most splendid
specimen of this tree we ever beheld. Its his
tory, too, is very singular. A Mrs. 8. brought
that very tree out in her band all the way from
South Carolina in tbe shape of a riding switch,
now more than thirty-five years ago—and hop
ing that something would come of it, stuck it
the grouad, where it now rears its proud
and beautiful form. A pole surmounts the top
of the tree, adding thirty feet more to the staff.
The flag now flapping defiance in the faces of
our enemies, is a magnificent standard—tbe
material furnished by one of tbe patriotic pro
prietors of the Mills, Mr. J. C. McLean, and
made up by the spirited ladies of the neigh
borhood.
The very day, aud nearly the hour that old
Virginia seceded, this flag was completed; and
when our friend McLean was asked by wbat
right he gave Virginia a place on the blue field
of our banner, be said : “Put her down there;
I’ll auswer with my life that she will claim
that spot and right soon.” Hs did not know
that even then she had redeemed his generons
and confiding voucher.
That gallant and true hearted of men, Mr.
E. L. Moreton, brought his rare skill and tact
to bear in accomplishing the difficult task of
arecting this “staff,” and now it rears its tall
form more than 130 feet; and aa it sways to
sod fro in the wind, he has challenged any
man who will give two hundred dollars to
Capt. Fowler’s Company, to come and see him
stick a pin in the ball surmounting the pole.
There are twenty-five men employed about
the Factory of Messrs. Williams A McLean.—
Out of that number eleven—all poor men, but
comfortable, and with tbe bept place, in the
country for daily wages—have joined Capt.
Fowler’s Company, and arc prepared to march
at a day’s notice, while every man, including
two negro men, (Bill A Boston) hava nobly coma
forward and givan freely of their small meant
in aid of thair country in this bar hour of need.
Mr. McLean has said to bis boys, “Go, and
don’t distress yourself about wife and children,
for while I have a dollar left they shall naver
need what it can buy for them.”
Our friend Ed. Moreton, in his quiet, pithy
way, said, in response to some prudent friends,
“ talk about * valuable situations,’ * poor man’s
wifa and children,’ Ac., Ao. If we whip our
enemies my placa will be worth lota more than
it is, and if wa don’t, we have no business with
but ona sort of a place, and that aix feet by
two l”
This is a specimen of our people all over this
country—in the “city full or desert wild,”—
and yet Black Republican slanderers and liars
would have the world think that the a masses"
are dragooned into revolt and revolution by the
“aristocrats and slaveholding tyrants.” Let
them come here for information of the true
state of the country, and we will give them
the right aort of welcome from Senator to slave.
TEACH TREE.
44 There Is a vast amount of capital is New
York—the accumulations ef the profits of
many years—meet of it the fruit of Southern
trade. A large pi ©portion of this eapital-
fully seveniv five per cent —is invested in
State and United 6ta;es stocks, wholly una
vailable at this lime, except at a ruinous die-
count. Hence It follows, as a logical conse
quence, that New York, while enormously
nob apparently is unable to fureiah the im
mense sums Lincoln’s Administration will re
quire to proeeoute its wickedly mighty war
upon the South.
44 In addition to the ruinous depreciation of
its invested capital. New York credit isboupd
to go by tbe board, aud siok to a depth of
bankruptcy unparalleled in the history of
cities, whether of anoient or modern times.—
Importing from all quarters of the globe has
made New York wbat she is. This fact no
sensible sod truthful man will attempt to con
trovert. Well, the war sbu is now assisting
Linooln to prosecute, will deprive her, tak
ing the lowest possible estimates, of fully
three fourths of her import trade. The bal
ance of her commerce will seek other chan
nels, just in the same proportion. Hereafter,
tbe natural equilibrium will prevail, and the
imports will come to tbe cities whence tbe ex
port!, whioh pay for them, go from. This
will build up all Southern seR porta, and cause
them to multiply in wealth and strength, far
beyond the anticipations of our most sanguine
financiers.”
The Seat of War.
Tbe seat of war covert an area of eome 500
by 400 miles, embracing the immediate field of
warlike preparations of whioh Washington is
the center. Tke important military points sur
rounding it. beginning at the 8outh and com
ing round through Virginia and Maryland are
indicated in the following schedule:

Special Dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial.
Washington, May 1.—The President re
ceived a dispaick ibis afternoon, announcing
tbe arrival of Captain Meigs, from Fort Pick
ens, in New York. He brings the first official
news of tbe reinforcement of Fort Pickens.—
All the troops that sailed from New York in
the Atlantic aud other transports, including
two batteries of flying artillery, were success
fully landed.
Over a thousand troops arc now in the Fort,
and about the same number outside busily en
gaged throwing up fortifications on Santa Ro
sa island.
Fort Piokeos may now be set down safe
■ gainst any force tbe Colton rebels can possi
bly raise against it.
No news from Fort Monroe has been re«
ceived for some days at the War Department,
but Gen. Scott considers that point perfectly
safe. Fort Mclleury has now a garrison of
twelve hundred men. Eight hundred volun
teers were thrown into it under cover of the
night some days since. Tbe knowledge of
this fact bas a good deal to do with tbe oav
ing in of Baltimoreans.
(Jen. Scott aaye he has more troops hare
now than he wants, tbe numerical strength of
tbe army of occupation having now reached
nearly twenty thousand.
Gen. Patterson’s corps d'armee will move in
two columns—one down tho Northern Central,
the other down the Baltimore and Wilmington
Railroad, upon Baltimore. Each will be ten
thousand strong. Another ten thousand will
be collected at Anuapolis, for demonstrations
against Baltimore.
The statement that ihe Government has is
sued an order calling out forty thousand vol
unteers for three years, twenty-five thousand
regulars for five years, and eighteen thousand
seamen for five is erroneous. No such call
has as yet been made.
A requisition for additional forces will be
issued in a day or two, but it will be for forty
thousand more volunteers, for thrse months,
and twenty five thousand volunteer* for land,
and eighteen thousand for sea service, during
tbe duration of the war.
I am able to stale, on tbe highest authority,
that a corps d'armee will move at tbe earliest
possible moment, from Pennsylvania through
Maryland towards Washington under com
mand of General Patterson. The Baltimore
*• Suu,” of this morning, contains a leader
recognizing the right of the Federal Govern
ment to march troops through Maryland.—
There ie no doubt that Gen. Patterson will be
allowed to pass unmolested.
