We bare seen the call which bu bun made on the Planters of tbn South — Ton war moat bn maintainnd by our poopio with 100,000 mnni and thin will coat money, which must be furnished by us, and not pro cured from abroad. Thin in not n martini ago, bnt n commercial one. The power of tbn Booth in not so much n military «na, as tbo pownr of the cotton crop on the foreign World. It will build wp and in crcnu bur own strength, and wcakeu and de crease that of ror enemies, aad ia tbe only maana by which, wa can auaUin our power.— Its shipment abroad, and tba anticipation of tbo proceeds or its tola, io the meant by which oar Oorornmont mutt got itn support in thin crisis— consequently the appeal ia made to our Plenum by Iba Government agcnU in the South. Wc consume in the South tome 100,000 bale, of cotton—tbo balance of tbe nr op goes abroad to And a market. Wa can’t buy and pay for tbo cotton that io raiaod in tbo South—if no, no ooald carry on tbo War with our own money, and keep our cotton too. Tbo cotton crop must bare a toarket. Tbo Taluo of our oottoo and negroes amonoto to $4,000,000,*00—equal to tbn publio debt of Great Britain. That national debt la ao grant, that tba English Government, with all IU pride, bu Barer bane able to pay tbe interest at thru per ernt, bat bu beau obliged to fend it If yen look to England you will lud that that country and onra are linked together in Inlnrut—not ee much on account of the fact tbit wc rales notion and they eon- ■u use it—nation non bw made rary easily is Tarioua parto of tha globe; but it is beoeuae of thayCredaew of oar capital in tba raising of oounn.

I wu la England ia tba midst of tba "Colton Snpply Association.” I did nil in my pownr to forward its movements, for I thought tbe sooner it exploded tbe bettor—not only for ns, bnt for tbn world.

Ia all parte of Europe—Franoe, Germany, Iuly, Holland, Belgium, Ac., the manufactur er* for the last twenty or thirty yean have bed all tbeir machinery adapted ta tha maaofaa- turw of American cotton. If they were to get cotton elsewhere, it* different (tuple and qual ity weald compel them to lay uida their whole investment tn machinery, end make aaw, which they cannot afford.

Thic illua- traifoe points out the difficulties in tbe wey. We have been too long looking to Hew York for oar importations—too long a provinciali sed people—tiering at a man from London; but new we have set up for ou reelves and under tekentoget along witkont New York. This must be by Direct Trade. One of year city merchants hes gone to Kurope to look af* ter his own interests in this line; and—1 do not make the remark disrespectfully—I ven ture that ha will do more good to the cause of the Southern Gonftderecy than the Com mis sion srs we have sent there. Europe ceres noth- iog for secession—tbe Dred Boott decision, or slavery in the territories- not a bit of it Our oommerceis what they want—our cctton they must have. Jeff. Davis is a truly great man. We ell have the utmost confidenoe in him as a statesman, and as the brightest military geni us in America; bnt he never kept a set of books, and perhaps could not tell muslin from calico. Our cotton must go direct to Europe and goods bs brought back in the seme way. 1 happen to know that Kew York has not ab andoned her hope of regaining this trade. She expects to bold on to it by htr superior com mercial fecilitiee. After this war is over end our independence recognized, there will be an immsnec reduction of freights, and their Congrees will reduce the tariff, so that goods can be sent from Europe to Kew York, and from thence to Charleston, cheaper then by Direct Trade. We have no arrangements in Europe for purchasing goods. Our merchants do not know the English merchants, and they do not know us, nor wkat we want. We have no eorreepoodents in Europe. Tell me of the merchant in Georgia that can go to Europe and get goods! New York merchant* do know ns, and know what we want. Do you suppose our merchants can abandon their counters and desks, and go to hunting up goods in Europe? After the war'is over—after we shall have done the Yankees the great favor of killing off their rabble and agrarian elements, their drum mers will be all over the South with tbeir sam ples and duplicate samples, and we will go back to ordering goods from New York. Are the people of the South reedy for this? We must work out and achieve our commercial as well ae political independence. If ws do not, one day we shall, through commercial influ ences, be brought back into the same old Un ion again, and be no better off than before we •eoeded. The merobant and planter must both step forward and secure this independence, while the revolution is going on. Our bank ers and merchants, instead of getting credit from New York, must hereafter gat it in Lon don, Paris, Hamburgh, Frankfort, Ao. This can only ha dons by tusking arrangements for it. I know thsre ere now men of immense capital in New York, ready to establish large banking houses in Enrope, in connection with the hecks of the South, to afford us tbe credit and facilities we need, if we will only estab lish Direct Trade and forever cut off from the North. The Chamber of Commerce of Atlanta should have a room, books, correspondents and circu lars in English, French and German, and have them judiciously distributed throughout Eu rope. The Chamber should secure correspond ents in all the prominent marts of trade, end have consignments of goods sent direct to this place. Yon should form a Central Associa tion, in connection with the merchants of oth- fore, when a man swears Woe uilff’tp™ to r ; hear to a Government, he expects that Go* em inent to be true to him. This is the condition upon whleh oh tbs of naterallsstioe and oaths of office ere takes. It is not expressed at tba time, bat It le implied as strongly as any wordr could set ft forth. Tbe consideration for which a common note of hand is given, Is not ex pressed ee tbe face of it; yet no man can he found who wilt contend that the tanker ef a note is bound, after tbe eonsideraflten foils.— fa such case our laws relieve him, and no man dare impeach the honor ef one who refuses to pey a nets under sach circumstances. No man has a greater obligation resting upon him to observe aa oath, than be bis to pay a note that he has made. No honest man has any objections to taking an oath when it is required of him—no objec tions to swearing to what be knows to be true, or to perform in good faith that which be hon estly intends to perform; bet an honest man does hot recognise the oath as imposing any highar obligation upon him, than big honor. It is only a solemn form of acknowledging previously existing obligations, whioh honor requires of good men. A man who will loll a lie wi’l tioear to one; and a man who would tarnish his honor, would not hesitate to vio late his oath. But the officers of the United States Army and Navy took an oath to support The Conati- tution— not tha unlawful behests of those who, through perjury, violate that instrument; and those of them who have seceded and are now in the Confederate Army, have not violated that instrument. They have only refused to be particep* criminia with those who have, with a high hand, violated its provisions and wil fully trampled its sacred principles in the dust. These seceding officers have manifested tbe sacred regard they have for tbeir oaths, and for th# Constitution they swore to support, by resigning tbeir commissions and joining the Confederate Army. We honor them for it. Tbe Constitution—its saersd principles and teach ings—havs wronged no one. It is by the Gov ernment—the agents named in the Constitution to carry out its intentions—that its principles have been disregarded, subverted and tramp led upon both in letter and spirit. The officers now in the Confederate Army who have left that of tbe United States, have only turned against a vile set of perjured usurping despots, and not against the Constitution. These brave, honest and conscientious officers had too much regard for their honor to violate the Constitu tion, aa long as that Constitution did not wrong them : hence they have turned their hands against perjurers ; for, according to Mr. Buch anan’s own showing, every officer now engaged in making war on us is perjured. He says the Constitution gives no power to coerce a State, and that tbe attempt to do so, would be subversive of its principles. An attempt has been made to frighten natu ralised citisens into taking up arms against ns because of the oath they have taken. The re marks previously msds apply with equal force in this case. Indeed, we do not understand how the oppressed foreigner, seeking a refuge from tyranny in this country, where he may enjoy the blessings of liberty to himself and his posterity, can consent to remain In tha North—much less taks up arms in its present unholy crussde—seeing that a worse despotism is now inaugurated in tbe North, than that from which they have escaped in the Old World.

We call especial attention to the communi cation of our correspondent “G., M on the man ufactarsof Railroad engines in the Booth.— His suggestions are important, sod should be well considered by all persons—especially those intereaWd in Railroads.

Though but a few short months have elapsed since I left her, yet it seems an aga ; and no where have 1 found a place as meob like home as her with whom I grew, became a man, ami wandered afar from. Long will I cherish her memory, and that of her generous inhabitants. The scenes upon this island ('‘Coohapur ’) are not varied. The lashing of tbe wat%r,\ba hum of the wild birds, and the leaping into air of the fish, have become too familiar to awaken any but a passtDg notice from the oeoped up rtgalart Each day wa go through our appointed drills, clean oar muskets, and retire to rest, or rather to the attitude of reet, for I assure you, I sometimes feel no more re freshed when I awake than I do when I lie down. We have no hay to fill our sacks with and though we have boardt, (a luxury a very few of us enjoy,) it is anything hut a comfort able bed to one who has had the good fortune heretofore of having the downy pinions of some unfortunate goose to repose open. I think we ought to be furnubed (though we are regulars, whom nobody caret for,) with some thing more than a blanket to lie upou. I at tach no blame to the officers, especially our own. Thank heaven ! they are gentlemanly, kind, and nothing, no matter what be the cost, is denied that tends to render the men of our company eomfortable and respectable in ap. peffrance. But they cannot run all over the country for straw, and we do not, if they could, wish them to leave us. Those at h>me— thoee who havo plenty, and to whom it will cost but little trouble—should attend to the maitor; and I predict that there are many farmer*, sad others, who, if they knew bow much comfort it would afford tba poor d Is here, would send supplies of straw whenever need. * • To a merciful Providence we owe much ; for, considering the number here, Ac., there is little sickness, and to my knowledge, but three have died; one of those, poor fellow, fell asleep last Dight. His name was H. Newton, from Cobb county. I visited the Hoepital last night It is an awful place; the walla look as though they never were whitewashed ; every thing looked dingy, and flies covered th* wall as thick as bees do their hives. Low, on dirty straw, lit the sufferers with tbeir clothing for pillewe. Oh, how much is tbe tender care of woman missed I Man cannot fill her place io the sick room. The 8urgeons with whom 1 have become acquainted, or rather, who I know by my optics, are, I think, attentive and kind, and no doubt do all they can for tbeir pa tients; but, at best, to me, it is a shocking sceue to behold, and I Shall not go thero, ex cept it be on a visit, and then only when I may think I can do some good. Plenty are there to attend the eick; and the officers, some of them, visit regularly; but you know that “too many fingers spoil the pie,” and one per son is apt to wait for the other to perform tbe work. As 1 said before, thank heaven, there are only a few who are seriously sick. The measles seem to be the worst disease prevail ing. Within theoourae of a day or two, aeveral Companies will leave here, ami take the place of the TVuftfeerson Tybee. • • • Company A, 1st Regiment, (our Company,) has been changed into an Artillery Company, and we will leave here in a few days for Tybee, from thenos, I dare say, as toon as folly equip ped, boraed, Ae., to some clime where we can occasionally snuff the Scent of gunpowder.— Our immediate Commanders are, Captain Ma- gill, Lieutenants Crawford, Maddox and Bow- dre, then whom none are more worthy, or who will be followed with more eagernese, when “comes tbs tug of war.” Cole.

IA VlewD^the pmssnt state of theoonatry by Which we ere separated, commsmfoily, as well as politically, from tbs North,it bahoovea us to look about for needed applmemos te supply tbe many manufactured article* ef imperative want which have heretofore been obtained ia the North. Tha Locomotiv* En gine is a neoeaaity which it need* no argument to impress upen the minds p( our people who are either ooooeoted with or dependent on our Railroads. Without proposing plans er plaoes, I would only endeavor to draw the attrition ef our Railroad Presidents aad managers of thfo and oontiguous States, to th* absolute necessi ty of prompt coDoort of action on this subject. The number of locomotive engines now owned by the Railroad companies in this State, aod tbe Stale, will probably fall aomewhere be tween 225 and 250. To keep this equipment full will require 20 new engines toually, with out any provision for increased traffioor equip ment of unfinished lines. If we embrace the States of Sooth Carolioa, Tea&tssc* aod Ala- bams, tbe number of engine* required annu ally will probably make 5U. This would give full work to oa* extensive manufactory. How shall such an establiahiasnt be put in opera tion? The answer is readily suggested, that it can be done most easily and efficiently by the joint action of our Railroad Compeutua.— It is true that superior locomotives have been built in the shops of tbe Central Railroad, the Georgia Railroad, and the Woalero A Atlantic Railroad, but all conversant witb this subject understand the reasons why suoh sources can not economically supply their own want*, much less the wants of all the Railroads of tbe 8tate of Georgia. The ehops attached to our Railroad*, as well as to aH others of whioh tbe writer has any knowledge, are repair-shops, not designed for building locomotive engines — The skillful and well tried master machinist* of our Roads could supply all the practical Ini formation and working plans in the commaaaa ment, and the Superintendents of the Roads would be just the men needed as a Board of Managers. fTf p y *T TA O These crude Ideas and hints are thrown out, trusting that this subject may engage the earn est attention of those most deeply interested.
