If you want to be correctly and reliably informed of everything that ia going on, take a good newspaper and read it Subscribe and pay in advance for ^"Confed eracy," and look to its columns alone for the news. We may occasionally be misinformed and led into error about aoma things. This, however will be but seldom. In the main, our newv is correct, and may generally be relied on. Don’t ctnaure the telegraph for tha many false rumors afloat But few of them ever touch wires. They are often the dreams of some garrulous old woman, with lively "im aginations," who has "a son in the army." Wa were stopped by twenty-six persons yes terday on the street—twenty-fiva of whom wars act subscribers to tho “Confederacy"—to know if there was any truth about a big fight and Col. Bartow’s being killed. Once for all, wa have every facility to gat tbe very latest and moat reliable newa from the seat of war. ▲11 important dispatches received during the day are put on our bulletin at our raading room, where ell can come and read free of charge. But the beat plan to be correctly posted is to subscribe for the "Confederecy"— $6 per an num. or 8# sente per month.

Anything which does see the light ie cut into slips and published in the New York papers. Very fkw communications of tha kind hava reached this country, and they are principally the State documeeie which have been put for ward by the Booth. I cannot better evidenoe the spirit by which they are animated than by referring to the late address of President Davie; and I will ask tha Housa whether it breathes a single one of those bloodthirsty, wioked, terrible opinions (hear, hear) whioh my honorable friend is anxious to impress on the House as being the dootrino of the South ern States. I beg to take this opportunity of saying that I shall certainly bring forward my motion on tbe subject of the recognition of the Southern Confederacy on the Tth of June, when, I trust, tbs matter will be fairly diacuss ed, and, in tha meantime, that wa shall not throw imputations on one party or tha other. (Hear, hear.) Lord Brougham Down on Anti-Slavery Meetings In Kngland. A noteworthy aign of tha times is the uncer emonious manner in which Lord Brougham snuba the abolitionist# who have been propos log meetings in London, with a view to give an anti-slavery cast to the war. Io the House of Commons, duriDg a debate growing out of a question to minister* concerning tbe Spanish acquisition of St. Domingo, Lord Brougham said: "There were meetings being held in this country which he entirely deprecated—meet ings which ought not to be held—meeting! at one of which, six or *svsn week* ago, he bad himself promised to preside, but when he found, after what had taken place in the Uni ted States, that it was a called meeting on American slavery, he said on no account, and by no means whatever, would he have any thing to do with holding, presiding, or attend inga masting of that description. He strongly recommended all whom hit voice might reach to abstain from holding such meetings. At tbe present moment it could not fail to do great mischief in our relations to America, if anything like agitation took place on a ques tion whereupon the Americans of the South, and almost all Americans, were peculiarly aeniitive and jealous; it would be the worn possible calamity, and might endaoger tha peace of the country without serving the slave, but rather postponing indefinitely his libera tion. [Hear, hear.] From the Second Chapter of the Proph ecy of Joel. "Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a feast' call a solemn assembly. "Gather the people, sanctify the congrega tion, assemble the elders, gather the children and those that suck the breast; let tha bride groom go forth of hie chamer, and the bride out of her closet "Let tbe priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the alter, and let them say, Spare tby people, O Loan, end give not tbine heritage to reproach, that tbe heathen should rule over them ; wherefore should they say among tbe people. Where ia their God ? ‘•Than will the Lord b« jealous for his land and pity hit people. "Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen. "But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face towards tha east sea; and his hinder parts toward* the ut most sea; and his atink ahall come up, and his ill-aavor shall come up, because he hath done great things. Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord will do great thiogs." The Yaukeea Stealing- and Selling Ne groes. The Richmond Enquirerasys: "A gentleman informs ns, from a "perfectly reliable source," that a letter wee found on the person of Cap tain Waldrop, who was slain in the late battle of Bethel Church, or County Bridge, directed to bis lister, in which he said that he had not made much headway aa yet; that ha had cap tured twenty negroes, and when he had made •ale of them, he would send her a nice pres ent. Magruder’s men express the most extreme satisfaction with his oonduct,andsay they will follow him any whara. The bearer oi tbe flag of truoe stated that five regiments had taken pert in the battle.— The return of the watch and aword taken from the person of Waldrop was requested. The watch will be returned, but not the sword. Southern Meoenic Female College at Cov ington, Georgia.

Tbe next great breadth is from the Galf of California to the Gulf of Saint Law- rants, And bare, too/ we set a range sometimes traversing its whole extent.

The tone embracing this series, is of the greatest importance to the country at Jorge. It is, in fact, the bone and muscle—for here are con centrated the mineral resources to a great ex tent, and in great variety. Coal, Copper, Iron, Gold and various ether valuable metals are found in great abundance in this range from North-East to South-West. LOOKOUT MOUSTAIN. Chattooga, Taylor’s and Lookout, nearly par allel, are, of themselves, considerable Moun tains, though occupying but a mere line upon tbe general map. Their approximate lengtha may be put down as twenty-five, fifty and one hundred miles, respectively, and they are re markable for their directness and the evenness of their surface elevations. They are natural barriers, and make good county lines besides giving direction to the water courses and the country roads. Surveys were made for a rail road from Dalton to Gadsden a few years ago, crossing two of the Ridges. The first required a tunnel of one mile in length, and the other ef half a mile, and it was pronounced imprac ticable, as other route*, making tbe same con nections, could be had with but little loss of distance. These mountains at some placet are very rugged and broken, and appear to be for no other purpose than to hold tbe rest of the world together. For the most part, however, they are well wooded, having a good depth of soil, and are susceptible of cultivation even to their very top*. Tbeir slopes n ight be well improved in vineyards, and no doubt at some future dsy they will become the autuiner resi dences of people who live further South, and who have heretofore been accustomed to make yearly migrations to the Northern States.— They abouud in springs, some of which are s'roogly tinctured with iron and sulphur, and would no doubt become "celebrated" if they were at a greater distance, which, aa a matter of course, would ,4 lend enchantment ’’ NATURE’S RUTERFLUIT Y. It is painful to see how lavish is nature of all her luxuries. Her cornucopia is constantly flowing over, and were the redundance of her treasures carefully stored, the wants of the million would be easily supplied. Oue ia as tonished at the extent of Ibe " range” these mountains afford and which has been wasted on the desert air for centuries gone. Thousands of acres could, with very little labor, be made the choicest pastures for cattle and sheep, and it is surprising that they have been so long overlooked by herdsmen. Sheep would thrive for nine months in the year without any care but that of a shepherd, and subsist through the ordinary winters with but little attention. A farmer who has a small flock, tells mo that his sheep do not cosf him ten cents the head from one year to another. They might not be so profitable as upon the broad prairies of Tex as, but it would be a very certain investment atone hundred per cent per annum compound interest. In Alabama, moat of these mountain lands belong to the State, and there would be no let or hindcrance to the squatter’s sover eignty. In fact a partial occupation would be advantageous to the territory. CUKROKKK ALABAMA. Cherokee county, from its location in the Northern corner of the Stato, has never been fully estimated in its importance. Its resour ces are, to a great extent, latent, and there only needs the wand of enterprise to wake up and develop their unbounded worth. The Coo sa River flows through the whole breadth of the county, some iorty miles, and, in its vari ous meanderings, makes more than twice that distance, and a good breadth of tbe choicest bottom lands. The Indian meaning of "Coosa” must have been crooked—especially if they had any idea of adjective—lor nothing conld be more aignificant. The Lookout Mountain is parallel with the valley, and but a few miles removed from it upon tbe North. There are table-lands of considdrsble extent, upon the top some portions of which are very well farm ed. An excellent quality of mineral ooal has been discovered at various places throughout the length of the mountain, which will no doubt, at some future day, be in great requisi- tion. ROC HD MOUNTAIN IRON WORKS. The most remarkable feature of the Coosa Valley 4* “ Round Mountain,” or Iron Moun tain, as it might very prororly be called. It is situated some three-fourths of a mile from the river upon the North side, and is twelve or fifteen mile* from the Georgia State line. It occupies the principal part of a quarter section (half a mile square) its base being about one and a half miles around, and its elevation is probably from six to eight hundred feet above the valley. It is certainly a freak in itself, and only lacks a crater to give it the appearance of having been the effect of volcanic action. The whole surface is densely timbered with oak and other hard woods, except a small portion that is under cultivation, from which it is plain to be seen that its ferruginous properties are by no means averse to vegetable productive ness. The slopes are strewn with iron pebbles and the ore crops out at innumerable places around the hill; but that which hoe found its way to the furnace, thus far, has been quarried near the top, borne too or three hundred yards distant Tha ora lays in strata like limestone— those which have keen worked being from two to four feet in thickness. It ti easily broken np, end ia hauled U the works ia picoes con venient for handling. It might very easily be delivered by means of oars upon a track, ar ranged so that the loaded cam weald return the empty ones to the mines. This would re duce Ah* expense ono-kelf Ac doubt* though bow its convenience is each that it ie qnarried the bed and delivered at the furaoee at 88 to 48 cents per ton. Home openings have been made even within a stone's throw of the furnace. QUALITY OV Til IRON. The ore is of the fossil Ifsrous, or dye-stone epeeies, and ha# been very thoroughly and eat iofootorlly tested for all purposes for which Iron Ie used. Chiefly it has been shipped in the shape of pig, though hollow ware and machine ry of various kinds have been extensively manufactured at these Works. Mr. Miller, of Savauuabi has made heavy ©sonon of this iron, Dome of which pieCes were engaged Itr the re duction of Fort 8umter. I have been told that he pronounces it equal to any in tbe world for strength and good qualities ie general. Messrs. Gray A Osbura of the American Iron Foundry, Augusta, have certified that it ie equal to any American Iron. Mr. Beofield of your own city, who uses much of the "Round Mountain Iron," ranks it aa tbe beat he ean obtain. Mr. Jonee, of Loudon, Tennessee, who, by tbe way, wee the fret manufacturer of railroad iron in Amer ica, aays it is the beat iron in the wbola coun- try.

C , April 80, 1801 Nothing I could say oan be worth one fact which baa forced itself upon my mind in re ference to tbe semioiems which prevail among the gentlemen of this Stale, i have been aaioug them several days. 1 have visited ibeii plantation*. I have converged with theuiful ly end freely. 1 have enjoyed that frank, cour leous and graceful intercourse which consti tutes an irresistible charm of their society From all quarters has oouie to uiy ears the echoes of the same voice; it may be feigned, but there is no discord in the note, an' sounds in wonderful strength and monotony all over tbe country. Shades of George III, of North, of John son, of all who contended against the great rebellion which tore these colonies from Eng land, can you hear the chorus which rings through the State of Marion, Sumter, and Pinckney, and not clap your ghostly hands in triumph ? That voice says, “ If we could on ly get one of tbe Royal race of England to rule over us, we should be content." Let there be no misconception on this point. That sen timent, varied in a hundred ways, has been repeated to me over aud over again. There i* a general admission that the means to such an end are wanting, and that the de sire cannot be gratified. Hut the admiration for monarchical iustituiions on the English model, for privileged classes, and for a landed aristocracy and gentry, is undisguised and ap parent ly genuine. With tbe pride of having achieved their independence ie mingled io South Carolinians' hearts a strange regret at the result and consequences, and many are they who ‘‘would go back to-morrow, if we could." An intense affection for the British connec tion, a love of British habits and customs, i respect for British sentiment, law, authoiity l order, civilization and literature, pre-emin- eutly distinguish the inhabitants of this Slate, who glorying in their descent from anoienl families on the Islands, whose fortunes they still follow, and with whose membeis they maintain not uafrequeutly familiar relations, regard with an aversion, of which it is impos sible to give an idea to one who has not seeu its manifestations, the people of New Eng land and the Northern States, whom they re gard as tainted beyond cute by the venom of “ Puritanism." Whatever may be tbe cause, this is the fact and the effect: •' The State of South Caroli na, wa*,” 1 am told "founded by gentlemen." it was not established by witch burning Pu ritans, by cruel persecuting fanatics, who im planted in tbe North tha standard ot Torque raada, and breathed into the nostrils of their newly-born colonies all the ferocity, blood- thirstyuess and rabid intolerance of the In quisition. It is absolutely astounding to a stranger who aims at the preservation of a decent neutrality to mark tbe violenoe of these opinions. “ If (hat confounded ship had sunk with those Pilgrim Fathers on board," says ons, ♦♦we never should have been driven to these extremities!" “ We could have got on with the fanatics if they had been either Christians or gentlemen," says another ; ** for io the first case they would have acted with common char ity, and in the second they would have fought when they insulted us ; but there are neither Christians nor gentlemen among them!”— “ Anything on the earth !" exclaims a third, ‘‘soy form of govoroaent, any tyranny or despotism you will; but"—and here is an ap peal more terrible than the adjuration of all the gods “ nothing on earth shall ever induce us to submit to any union with the brutal, bigotted blackguards of tho Now England States, who neither comprehend nor regard the feelings of gentlemen! Man, womao and child we ll die first." Imagine these and an infinite variety of similar sentiments uttered by courtly well ed ucated meo, who set great store on a nice ob servance of the usagea of society, and who are only moved to extreme bitterness and an ger when they apeak of the North, and you will fail to oonceiva tbe intensity of tbe dis like of the South Carolinians for the free States. There are the national antipathies on our side of the Atlaatio which are strong and have been unfortunately pertinacious and long lived. The hatred of the Italians for the Tedetco, of the Greek for the Turk, of the Turk for the Russ, is warm and fierce enough to satisfy the Prince of Darkness, to apeak of e few little pet averaiooa among allied Powers and the atoms of composite empires; but they ere ell mere indiffereooe end neutrality of feeliag compared te tha soimeeiiy eviacad by the “ gentry” of South Caroline for tke rabble of the North. The contest of Cavalier and Roundhead, ef Vendean and Republican, even of Oroegemen and Croppy, have been elegant jousting** reg ulated by tbe finest rules of chivalry, compar 'd with those which North and South will ear* ry on if their deeds support tbeir word*.— " Immortal bate, tb* study ef reeuage" will actuate every blew sod never ie the history ot tke wer)d,porbepe, will go forth eueh dread ful v * oietis aa that which may be beard before tbe fight has begun.

It ie the source of everything which South Caroline hates, and of the torrents of free thought and taxed manufactures of Abolitionism and of PimtusterioK, which have flooded the land. Believe a Southern man as be believes him. self, and you must regard New England and Ibe kindred States as the birthplace of impu rity of mind among men, and of unohaetity in women—the home* of Free Love, of Four ierism, of Iofidelity, of Abolitionism, of false teachings in pditioal economy end lu eocinl life—a land aaturated with the drippings of rettoo philosophy, with the poisoooas infec tions of e fanatic press, without honor or modesty, whose wisdom is paltry cunning, whose valor and manhood have been swallow ed up in a corrupt, bowling demagogy, and in the marts of a dishonest commerce. It is the merobants of New York who fit out abips for tbe slave trade, and carry it on in Yankee ships. It is the capital of tha North whioh sup ports, and it is Northern men wboconeootasd execute, tbe filibustering expeditious which have brought discredit on the slaveholdiog States. In the large cities people are cor rupted by itinerant and ignorant leoturers; in the towns and ia the country by an un principled press. Tbe population, indeod, know how to read and write, but they doo’t know how to think, and they are tbe easy victims of the wretohed impostors on all tbe ologies and isms who swarm over the re gion. and subsist by lecturing on subjeots which the inmate vices of mankind induce them to accept with CAgerness, while they l«- •uaie tbe garb of philosophical abstractions to cover their nastiness in deference to a con tea.ptible and universal hypocrisy. •* Wo dll* the butchers' shops with large blue files !” Assuredly the New England demon who has been persecuting the South till its intolerable cruelty and insolence forced her, in a spasm of agony to rend her chains asunder. TLt New Englander must have something to per secute, and as he has hunted down all his In dians, burnt all his witches and persecuted all his opponents to the death, he invented Abo- litionis.it as the solo resouroe left to him for the gratification of his favorite psation. Next to his motive principle is his desire to make money, dishonestly, trickily,meanly and shab bily. lie has acted on it in all relations with the South, aod has cheated and plundered her in all his dealings, by villainous tariffs. If one objects that the South must have been a par ty to this, because her boast is that her states men have ruled the Government of the coun try, you are (old that the South yielded out of pure good nature. Now, however, the will have free trade, and will open the ooottiog trade to foreign nations, and shut out from it the hated Yankees, who so long monopolised and made their fortunes by it. Under oil the varied burdens and miseries to whioh eke woe subjected, the South held feat to her sheet an chor. South Carolina was tho mooring gronnd in which it found the surest hold. The doctrine of State Rights was her salva tion, and the fiercer the sterm raged against her—the more stout demagogy. Immigrant preponderance, and the bloeta of universal suffrage bore down upon her, threatening to sweep away the vested interests of the South in her right to govern the Stales ; the greater was her confidence aod the more reso lutely she held on her cable. The North at» traded '* hordes of ignorant Germane and Irish," and the scum of Europe, while tke South repelled tLem. The industry, the capital of tbe North in creased with enormous rapidity, under the influence of cheap labor and manufacturing ingenuity and enterprise, in the villages whioh swelled into towns, and the towns which be- oame cities, under the unenvioua eye of tbe South. She, on the contrary, toiled on alow* ly, clearing foreala and draining swamps te find new cotton grounds and rioe fields, for the employment of her own industry and for the development of her only capital—"JnvoL untary labor." The tide of immigration wax* ed stronger, and by degrees she sew the die triots in which she claimed the right to intro duce that capital, dosed against her, end oc cupied by free labor. The dootrine of “squatter sovereignty," and tha forcrof hostile tariffa, whioh plaoed a heavy duty on the very articles which tbe South most required, completed the measure of injustioe to whioh she woe subjected, aod the spirit of discontent found vent in fiery de bate in personal insults, and in aoorimonious speaking and writing, whioh inoreaaed in in tensity, in proportion as the abolition move ments, and the eontest between the Federal prinoiple and State Rights, became more ve hement. I am desirous of showing in a few word*, for the information of English readers, howjl is that tbe Coofederaoy, whioh Europe knew simply os a pditioal entity, haa succeed ed in dividing itself. The slave States held the doctrine, or say they did, that each State was independent os Franoe or as England, but that for oertele purposes they chose e common agent te deal with foreign nations, and to impose texts for tbe purpose of paying tbe expenses of tbe egenoy. We, it appears, talked of American oitizens when there were no suoh beings at all. There were, iodoed oitistne of the sov- ereign State of 8outh Caroline, or of Geor gia or Florida, who permitted themselves to pass under that designation, but It was mere ly ass matter of personal convenience. It will be difioulc for Europeans te under stand this dootrlae, ae nothing like it baa been beard before, and no sueh Confederation of Sovereign 8tetea has ever existed In any country in the world.
