Delevan in tbe list* Tbeae six lota have due on them respectively $1.73, S3 cents, 40 cents, 40 cents, TO cents and 03 cents, amounting in all to $4 51. Some of theae lots are 183 m 177 feat- -others 33x177. Souse lota bclvog to well known mercantile and manufacturing houses, whose names are familiar here. Some belong to old wealthy and aristoeratio family names, which are indisso lubly connected with tbe history of New York, such as tbe Schuylers, Van Rensellears, Yan Vecbteos, Yateses, Van Danburgs and many others. We notice in one case that tha proparty of a church is to be sold for texts. In the South we don't tax church property. It haa remained for the infidel North to do such a vandal deed ; but when ruin and desolation are to wide spread as to render church congregations una ble to pay tha tax thus imposed on them, end tbe property ie thereupon told to satisfy the tax, the ease is calamitous. Nobody hurt! This war which the enraged North is forcing on us unjustly, and threatening to prosecute with savage ferocity, will be felt there. For tunes that haretofora hare reared themselves mountain high, will come tumbling down about their ears with a thundering crash. Beggary and starration will stare in the faces of mil lionaires, whose wealth has been derived from tha profits of Southern trade. We rejoice that none of oar wealth rests on such a sandy foun dation. We make our food and oar wealth from tha yield and surplus profits of our own soil, which Qod haa given us, and which no power on earth can take away. This war will ruin tbe North. We will fatten, thrive and grow rich while we prosecute it—even if it last twenty years. Why ? We make our food at horns, and we raise j>roducte on our own soil which the world must and will have; sod the price of which will be enhanced as long as the war lasts. Some of our people are despondent, apprehending much suffering in the country on account of the war. Never was a mistake greater. With the exception of tha noble blood that may be shed, and tbe sadness of bereaved hearts, It will be a blessing to our country, rather than evil. We repeat, we will prosper under it, while ruin must come to the North. Is needed, and can mayupt. A4 to guns, despite the talk about breeeh loaders and the like, we have great faith in long rifles with which our spur tsmenbavehee^ turkeys’ heads aver fince Virginia was a State. It was wi.lh fuoh that Morgan** Riflemen made themselves so terrible. For Cavalry use, or pretty close work, tbe double shot gup, loaded with ouck shot. Is the best weapon in the world. Let our people, then, not be too nice about arms; bulge! the best they oan, and prepare to hang upon the foe from the moment he ap pears till the last man retreats. A great deal is Co be done by tha* operating on the volun tary principle, and fighting onone'sown hook What cau be the matter that our favorite daily, the Savannah Republican, comes to us so irregularly, failing to come to time twice or thriee a week 7 And that other live paper, too, the Southern Confederacy.—Chronicle d Sentinel of \bth instant. if* Much obliged to our cotemporary for (he compliment.

We are glad to be able to say tbat we receive the Chronicle A Sen tinel regularly evary day, sod l* one of our moat hightly prized exchanges. Tennessee Conventional Long time ago, when there wee a Union and a Southern Rights party in Tennessee, both these parties called 8tate Conventions to notn inate candidates "for Governor. But ere tbe Conventions met, matters and things were an aspect quite different from the calculations of roostgftho politicians. We have already given an account of the meeting of tho Union parly Convention, which converted itself iutos South ern Rights assembly, and declined to make a formal nomination for Governor. The original Sontbern Rights Convention as sembled last Saturday. It refused even to re commend a man for Governor, but resolved to refer the whole matter back to the people; in dorsed the action of the Legislature and the eonduct of Gov. Harris, and strongly urged upon Tennessee unanimity, in oouncil and ac tion at this crisis. Verily patriotism is swallowing up and wi ping out all party distinctions. This is as it should be. The PUyaJc Working. Tha New York Herald don't kuow what to •ay about Governor Brown’s Proclamation. It is "out of soap” evidently. Here are all it* re marks on the document: We give in full, in another column, the proc lamation of honest Jo Brown, Gov’nor of Geor- « ia, in which he forbids the people of tbat late the paying of their just debts to Northern errditors. It Is a curious document, and will cause the people of Europe to wonder what next secession will lead to. Tbe proclamation will, no doubt, be copied pretty extensively, and will be translated into many different lan guages. The Herald, under its financial head, also remarks: WaoxRSDAr, May 8—6 P. M. The feeling in monetary circles was very uneasy to day, and more failures are talked or. It seems to be supposed that all the jobbers in tbe Southern trade will go. Georgia surpasses Virginia and Tennessea in the lolly method of her swindling. Letters received here from Georgia banks, state tbat they have made ool- lcciioos for New York houses, and placed the proceeds to tbe credit of the 8tate of Georgia. Gov. Brown set the example of robbery some months ago. Mr. Charles Morgan arrived to day from New Orleans, where his entire steam fleet, plying between New Orleans, Texas and Mexico, haa been seized. A general confisca tion of Northern property in the Southern States is expected. No Outlet front Tennessee, North Caro lina, or Virginia. Early yesterday morning, wa war# inform ed, by the Collector at this port, that he had raoalved instructions from Secretary Mem- minger, instructing him to collect no duties from any merchandise coming from Tennessee, North Carolina, or Virginia. The Court of Ordinary of Bibb county hoc directed the levy of one-fourth the amount of last year’! Slat# Tax, upon all tha propdriy outside of the corporation of Maeog, aa n find for the relief of needy families v f absent sol- diart. Bo we learn trom the Telegraph. Pans Him Round. The Montgomery " Post " says: " We are au thorised, by a hotel keeper in this city, to warn the public against a man styling himself Dr. G. W. Smith. He pretends to be a patent right rheumatic physician ; is about 35 years old, 6 feet 8 or 9 inches in height, rather heavy set, and a little stoop-shonldered, fair skin, short sandy-colored whiskers, always perfumed with musk, very talkative aud forward; represents himself ns being from Philadelphia, New York, Mississippi, Georgia, aud various other places. He absconded from this city without paying his board bill, and there is other ground of suspi cion against him. He is believed to be a spy as well as a swindler and imposter, and tbe public would do well to look out for him. He is supposed to have goae East from this city." Those Kentucky Regiment*. Our readers have seen it announced that two Regiments of Volunteers had been raised in Kentucky and tendered to Lincoln, and that Maj. Anderson bad been assigned the com mand of them. We find the following ae count of these two Regiments in the Nashville Patriot of tbe 14th inst., which the editor says he is permitted to copy from a private letter from a gentleman in Cincinnati to a friend in Nnshville: I suppose you have sceu some account of the two Kentucky Regiments being reported as ready to be mustered into servico for tbe U. 8., under Cols. Guthrie and Terrill. Now, tbat you and our good friends in Tennessee, may understand this matter and not he de ceived, I will try and give you a true account of tbe whole. And first, as to Col. Guthrie, be not deceived. He is none of " our Guth ries." He is a citizen of Ohio; he settled in Newport sometime last fall or winter; became a rabid secessionist, "bloviated" about there sometime, got himself appointed Colonel of the Kentucky Militia; got scared ; run back to Ohio; went to Washington; got some sort of commission from Abe Lincoln ; enlists a set of wharf rats, scoundrels, jail birds and loaf ers in Cinoinnati, with a few German Turners and vagabonds in Newport, and lo ! this turns np Kentucky Regiment No 1. This is no fan cy sketch. 1 will venture to assert tbat, in the whole two Regiments, there art not fifty true Kentuckians. I mean Kentuckians born of Kentucky parents, and who, from infancy, have been laugbl to speak the English lan guage. As to Col. Terrill, he was for a number ot years the editor of a vile abolition sheet at LaPayette, Indiana. Some ill wind blew him to Ciocionatl, (hence, 1 believe, lo Newport as a resident for a few months. Sometime last winter be returned to Cincinnati, where he became the "roper" for a faro bank, and ia a sort of dead-head pensioner to a coffee-house in Cincinnati. His business is to lounge about the Spencer House and catch "guile” aud se duce them to the{aforesaid coffee house, where tbe faro.bank is kept, and stranger gentlemen are relieved of their cash. llis Regiment is of the same character of tbat of Guihrie'e. If the honor of proud, chiv alrous old Keotucky ia lo be entrusted to the keeping of such men, tbsn I fear that 1 and others will have to do tbat which we never ex pected lo do—blush for cur good old Common wealth and proclaim in anguish of heart :— How are tbe mighty fallen !" The facts here set forth are true, and the statements here made are not the result of prejudice. I have them from those who know, and who intend, through the medium of the "press," Ihst the public shall know. Ae to Kentuoky, my opinion ia, in fact, I have no doubt of it, that if forced to take po sition, she will go with the South. There is, aa you know, a strong, fraternal feeling for Tennessee. Kentuckians love Tennesseans ; in faot, they are more attached lo Tennessee than they are even to Virginia. Kentncky will never consent to see an armed foe march through her territory to make war on Tennes see and (he South. They may permit them to eater (he 8tato and go some distance into the interior; but they would never resoh the line, nor would they ever return. You may rely upon it, in no event* in no contiageney will Kentuekiane ever fight against Tennesseans. Intmobptsd Dupatcb to th* N*w Yobe Thick*.— Dear (Jueiey: Jeff.

Thz Atlasta Medical aid Surgical Joua- *al.—The May number of this valuable Mod ical Journal la at bend. Each number eon tains 64 pages. It is conducted with ability, aod is one of tbe most valuable Medical Jour nals in this country. The number before us contains tbe "Annual Address, delivered before tbe Medical Asaocia lion of the State of Georgia," at its late see •ion in this city; the proceedings of that body, with several able papers which were read on that occasii The Journal is published by Dr. J. G. West moreland, in this city, at $3 per anno Deceased. We regret to announce the death of the Rev. Isaiah Parker, during the past week, who, for many years, was a citizen of DeKalb county. He was an old fashioned, frontier Primitive Baptist Preacher, and an honest man- His wife also died last week, a few days after the de cease of her husband. We learn also, that Mrs. Arminty Awtrey, aged 78 years, and Mrs. Crockett, the wife of Col. James Crockett—all of DeKalb county— died duriog the last week. Artificial Leather. The last number of the Shoe & Leather ttc porter, iu speaking of Ihe attempts to manu fact are Leather, says: Among these enterprises may be mentioned e esse of Dr. Berulsnd, of Lsrris, in Ger many, who, after a hzrJ struggle has wrested great secret from Nature, by the employ ment of which be at onoe converts certain re fuse animal substances into liquid leather, to tbe delight of bis friends aud bis own delects tion. To reduce his discovery to a profitable form bo has even established a factory near Vienna. Think of modeling seamiest boots and shoes at a trifling expense of time, labor and material, into the moat elegant and close fitting forms! In our own country various attempts have been made to provide substitutes for leather. Not to speak of leather cloth, compositions have been manufactured from scraps of vari ous substances, even including scraps of paper. The most feasible project of ibis kind we have notioed, is tbe preparation from soraps of leather and pieces of rope. A paragraph has been going tbe rounds of tbe press that a firm Massachusetts manufaoiuie fifteen hundred pounds of this artificial leather daily, and that the demand is greater than the supply ; the process of making it is similar to that of man ufacturing paper. Although such an article can be considered little more than a superior kind of pasteboard, yet we can conceive of any purposes to whiob it might be applied instead of leather. Paper already usurps the place of leather to some extent in tbe manu facture of shoes, and a cheap article that Is more durable, will be used eiill more largely The value of artificial leather (so called) will, of course, depend on the cohesive power which can be secured at a small expense, and there is certainly room for experiment and improvement here as in other departments of manufacture. Still, it ia not leather aod can not be made leather. Toughoese is tbe chief quality wh ch gives the tanned hide its pecu liar value. This tenacity ie in tbe fiber, and as soon as the natural structure ia interfered with, the property is destroyed. The pliabili ty of the hide, too, will be hard to imitate.— Artificial leather may be compared to the mummy gods of antiquity, which were ao •trangely compounded of the jumbled limbs of animals. The subject of the manufacture of artificial leather is not thus alluded to so much for its intrinsic importance as to illustrate anew the faot we have so often urged upon our tanners, that they and their processes are behind the age; that the fact is observed by, and is citing much interest among outsiders, and that the former may, unless they inaugurate a new movement! in the end be beaten on theii own ground. The rivalry, thus far. to be sure, appear* insignificant, but the agita tion has commenced, and if sufficient promt nance be aesigoed it to concentrate the inven tive genius of the country, the tanners must look to it that they be not caught napping. Ciov. Drown and the Greiner Case* Mr. Greiner was one of the soldiers in Sav annah who, under the order of tbo Governor, occupied Fort Pulaeki in January last. He lately visited Philadelphia to eee tome of his ■iok relatives, aod there arrested under charge of [treason agaisnt the Government of the United 8tntes for haviog discharged bin duty under the order of Gov. Brown in assisting to take possession of Ihe Fort. He haa just been discharged from arrest on giving bond for ten thousand dollars for his good behavior, &c. We speak by authority when we aav that Ihe Governor of this State has watched with close attention the progress of this case. The bond he will consider a nullity, and If tbe anthoritlea In Pennsylvania attempt to tnfloree collection upon it, Gov. Brown will seize pro perty belonging to, or debts due any of the oitisena of Pennsylvania, and convert the tame into money and pay to Mr. Greiner, •« hit se curities all sum extorted from them on the bond with all ooet and damages whieh they in cur ; and in tbe event Mr. Greiner, or any other citizen of Georgia, is imprisoned lo Penoeylvnain, or any other Northern State, for haviog obeyed hie orders in tbe matter of Fort Pulaeki, or any other military order given by him, he will, If.to be.found within tbe limits of this State, or eleewhere within hie reach, arraat and imprison two of the citizens of such 8tate for every Georgian so confined, (01 he la discharged. And In theemoi Pewnayl- vanla, or any other hostile State shall taka the life of any citizen of Georgia In any neck ease or upon stick pretext, Governor Brown, will order the seizure and prompt execution of twe oitisena of moh Stale to pay tbe penalty. Upon thle the autheritlea ot eeeh hoetlle State may raff with implicit confidence. Sstksm Un- constitutional powers of tbe general govern •nt. and to J&ln as ode man in fighting Its nu thorised bail lee, do revereoee nevertheless, to the great American prmdplee of self-govern* menr, and sympathize deeply with her South ern brethren in a noble and manly determi nation to defend the tame. — '~ T The resolutions protest against the Mar up on tbe Confederate 8tatee, and annottbeed a resolute determination to have no part or lot directly or indirectly in its prosecution Maryland earnestly desires a restoration pence, and implores tbe President to aeeept tha "Olive Branch" held ont by the Confed erate States, whose President has over and over again declared that they seek only self- defence aod to be let alone; that Maryland desires a peaceful recognition of tbe independ •nee of tbe Confederate States, and hereby gives her cordial assent thereto aa a member of the Uoion ; tbat the preeeot military occu pation of Marylaod for said purpose is flagrant and in violation of the constitution and the 8tate, and hereby protests against tbe same, at the same time calling on all good citizens to abstain from all violent and unlaeful inter ference of every sort with tbe troops in (ran sit through our territory or quartered amoog us. The last resolution lays, under existing cir cumstances, it is inexpedient to call a sorer sign Convention or lake any measures for ganizing the militia.

The Baltimore Election. -Tbe Maryland House against i members late Baltimorb, May 13.—The Mary lam <4 Repress*!etivee, by a vots of 82 17, naa declared in favor ot tbe membi The Law of Clothlug lu Regard to Vol< uuteers Received luto the Confederate States. Much misunderstanding seems to exist among th* volunteer forces celled into the Confederate service, in relation to the subject of clothes and clothiog, and yet tbe law of Congress controlling the question ie quite olear, and admits of no two cons'ructiooj.— Many Volunteer Companies, and Battalions and Regiments, entered the Confederate ser vice with tbe idea, tbat tbe War Department would supply ail deficiencies of clothing among them, and would moreover be prepared with future supplies lo meet the accruing wants of tbe soldiers; aud consequently, are now suf fering in ibis respeot, because of the want of proper information in the beginning, whioh their officers and the Stale authorities should have given. The law of Congress, as set forth in tbe act " to provide for the public defence,’ reads as follows: "Said volunteers shall furnish their own clothes. When called into aotive service "and while remaining therein, instead of olo thing, every non commissioned officer and "private in any company shall he entitled to "money, in a sum equal to the cost of clothing of a non commissioned officer or private ia the regular army of the Confederate 8tates. " By this late volunteers provide, at all times, their own clothing, and receive therefor commit tation in money, and in tbe passage of the law, Congress evidently had in view those publio exigencies that required Urge forces lo be thrown into tbe field while yet the Govern ment was in its infancy and stood provided with no regular Quarter Master organization We have been thus explicit because it is highly desirable the matter should be thor ougbly understood, ae well among those troops already in service, as among those who are daily expecting to be called into service. And we think it would be well for the newspaper press generally, to set forth, as we have done, tbe eubjeot in the light of the law and the rea •on of the lew.—Montgomery Advertiser. From California. A- writer from Sacramento to n New York paper says: Serious suspicions have been eirculated concerning the sentiments and intentions of General Johnson, the federal commander on tbe coast. He has now some twelve or four teen hundred federal troops on this coast. Ii U apprehended that he ie ambitious of imita ting Gen. Twiggs. These fears are strength •ned by the fact tbat the meat of tbe subordi nate officers are Southern men. Col. Beal, who preceded Johnson in command, was ap proaehed by the secessionists with proposi tions to turn over lo them the Forte lo San Franoisco harbor, and the arsenal at Beotcia Tbe people of 8an Franoisco are entirely loy al, and would eo-operate with the Govern ment in retaking any station that may be sur rendered; but regular soldiers, with all the necessary artillery and ammunition, eould hold these well fortified places for a long time against any force that could ba raised in be half of the government. Gen. Johnson is, I believe, a native of Kentucny. He comman ded in Texas some time before 1847. In the fail of that year be was made brigadier geo cral, and placed iu command of the army dispatched to Utah. He may be a true man and a patriotic soldier, but tbe popular imprea •ion just at this time is the other way. The Breekeoridge 8tate Committee have qad a meeting. They resolved to call a State Convention on the 11th of June, and prescrib ed as a teat of party orthodoxy approval of tbe Crittenden compromise, opposition to coer- eion, aod to any attempt to enforce the feder al laws by force within tbe seceding States. — The Committee issued an address virtually approving of tbe secession of the Southern 8letes, deprecating war with them. They al so, by implication, dselare against the en forcement of tbe revenue laws in California, and assert that “ taxation of eommeroe in (be harbor of a Stats ie tbe highest insult to sov ereignty, and the most provoking of conflict." This means that we should resist the tariff here ae they have done in Charleston and Savannah. POST-OFFICE. ARRIVAL AND CL03ING OF MAIL8, Ao. foot Ovnoe, Atlavta, April M, 1811.
