ATLANTA, GEORGIA:
TUESDAY, JULY 30, 1801.
The Meeting Saturday Night and Some
Remarks Thereon.
We attended the meeting at the City Hall
on Saturday night. A few of our oitiseoe
were collected together. Dr. E N. Calhoun
presided, and W. S. Hanford, Eso., acted a*
Secretary.
The proceedings, as furnished by the Sec
retary, appear in our oolumns this morning ;
but neither from these, or the published call
for the meeting which appeared in our paper,
aro the full objects of the meeting made man
ifest as we gathered them by being present —
The call did not state for what purpose it was
mule. General llice, however, explained the
object, introduced a set of resolutions, and
teveral other persons mads speeches. The
purport of these speeches and resolutions are
not given in the official proceedings. We so
belied a copy of the resolutions to be laid be
fore our readers, but our request was not ao-
ceded to.
Heiog present, howerer, and hearing the
resolutions read and the speeches made, we
may say that some of the resolutions and some
of the sentiments expressed, we caudidly, but
respectfully disapprove of. It seems that there
are a tew stingy hide-bound mortals in our
midst, who have r.ot contributed towards the
equipment of our soldiers and the support of
their needy families as freely as they ought
and as lUeir ability would seem to justify, and
we understand oue ot the objects of this meet
iug is to appoint a Vigilance Committee to
wait on them, inform them of the amount
they are required to contribute, and make
them “ shell out” or make this country “ too
hot for them." This is in addition to having
an eye on (< suspeoied perssons,” spies, &o.
In the first place, wo consider this move
uictit inopportune at this time. There is no
necessity for it, and no public demand tor
such a step. We kuow it is prompted by a
desire to do goed, but we think it a mistaken
policy—one calculated to excite much bad
feeling and bitterness in the community with
out any corresponding good—a result greatly
to be deprecated, at this particular time es
pi ci ally.
It is well known that this city and county
has furnished twelve companies of volunteers,
besides one hundred regulars, to fi^ht iu our
defence, besides voluntarily contributing
thousands upou thousands of dollars for the
benefit of our soldiers and the relief of such
of their families as needed it. The county
court and the city authorities have been ac
tive, vigilant, and efficient in furthering this
object, as far as lay in their power.
Hui it is said some men in this city who are
rich and able, will not “ shell out;" and that
the community should be “ made too hot for
themthat it is noi fair for some to contrib
uto for these laudable and necessary purpo
ses, while others who are able refuse to do so.
This last proposition we freely admit. All
men should be generous, patriotic and liberal
with their wealth, but then a.l are not. The
Creator for some wise purpose has placed
nu ll people among us, and we cannot see how
a vigilance committee can hope to correct
lh<s defect in human nature.
We see no wrong and have no objections to
any or all our citizens, either by committees
or as individuals, ferreting out enemies—dis
loyal or suspicious perilous, and upon suffi
cient proof of their guilt, have them puuished
according to the laws of the land or banished
from our country ; but we do object to any
man or committee of men calling on any cit
izen, assessing the amount he shall pay, aud
endeavoring to enforoe its payment—tor auy
objeot or purpose whatever, against bis con
sent. We do most earnestly object to any
man or committee of men making an attempt
under auy sort of demaud or threat, to oom
pel any one to pay any amount outel^e of the
demands made upon him by the laws of his
State aud the duly constituted authorities of
his government. It strikes directly si tbs
foundation of all freedom, violates every
principle of republican government, and is di
rectly in the teeth of one of the plainest and
most sacred principles of the constitution of
the old government, which has been iucorpo-
rtiied into the permanent constitution of the
Confederate Stales without alteration or
amendment in the slightest particular. It is
the brightest and most saered jewel in tho
crown of liberty, without which it would be
more worthless and oomemptibls than a
wrva.h of dried leaves. If a citizen pays the
tax that is levied on him by the laws, no other
authority or pretended authority should touch
his private property to the amount of one
red, without his oonsent. A man may be
m«au, miserly, and aelfish ; he may be want
ing in every principle of generosity and pa
triotism. We know a few such, and de-
ploro as deeply as any man that such is the
fact; but it is a matter between them and
their God. It is an evil, for which organised
eooiety has no legal remedy and it must there
fore be endured. Public scorn and social as
(racism they deserve, and should receive ;
but no man has a right, under any pretext to
touch their property. If you establish the
precedent, there is no telling where it may
lead to and no one can control its results. Ad
mit this dangerous doctrine, and no man's life
or property is safe. Every member of socie
ty who would think his lot a bard one, might
complain that the circumstances of others
around him were better, who did not deserve
it. Uader tome pretext, men oould be over
ready to rise up and appropriate to their owa
use such portion as they might tbfiok proper
of the assets of those arouad them mors for*
lunate than themselves.
I We know the eitizens composing tbs mast
ing on Saturday night contemplate no each
results and have no such object in view ; but
wc ask them to pause and reflect upon what
I may be the future eoosequeooes of the step
1 they are about to take.
Look, for a moment, at publio sentiment at
the North for years past, and their present
oondiiion! See their fanatioirm and utter
disregard of all private rights —their prone
ness to violate the spirit and letter of tbs
laws which were mads to protect individuals 1
Their dangerous “ higher law” teaohings is
the fruitful source of all (he troubles that now
environ our country. The agrarianism of the
Northern press and publio leaders, has pre
pared the minds of the people of that seotion
to appropriate the means of others to their
own use—thereby violating every wholesome
law and moral restraint to accomplish their
designs and carry out their insidious here
sies
Have we seceded from them, but to re-enact
their follies and transplant their heresies in
our own soil?
Let us conform all our acts to the law of the
land, and sustain it, in its majesty, by our
every aot. Let us be liberal and sustain the
South in this emergency to the utmost, with
all our property and oar lives, if need be: but
let us keep our record clean. Lst us have no
Northern heresies—no agrarianism indoctrin
ated into our people or the framework of our
organization—no interference with private
rights, whatever, under any pretext.
If we desire toe blessings of Providence; if
we intend to rely upon God’s protecting care,
instead of taking vengeance into our own
hands, let us continue to do right. The poor,
miserable wretches who clutch their gold and
refuse to assist their country in her hour of
need, will surely be punished by Oue wieer
and batter than a committee of erriog mor
tals.
Shot Cuus.
By reference to the proclamation of Govern
or Brown, which appeared in our issue of Sat
urday, it will be 6een that the Stito arms are
all well nigh exhausted. Hon. John W. II.
Underwood has raised a regiment of volun
teers. but the Governor is unable to arm more
than a part of his companies. We must
bring more men into the field, and we must
have them armed, and the questionjarises, how
are we to do it?
The Governor's plan of borrowing rifles from
citizens, and having them altered for the ser
vice. is a most capital one, and we have no
doubt will be the means of furnishing as many
men as we shall need in the service with an
arm equal to the best now in service.
But we have often woudered why our com
panies and regiments do not arm themselves
with double barteled shot-guns. It does seem
to us that a more effectually destructive wea
pon could not be invented. Well made shot
guns of propor calibre, aud well charged with
buck shot, would, in our escalation, prove to
be the most fearful death-d* aling instrument
that could be placed in the hands of a brave
mao. True, they have not the range of the
Sharpe’s rifle; but it must be remembered
that, while these guns have great range, they
only carry one ball at a charge, while a shot
gun might mow down a whole squad at a sin
gle discharge. A single buckshot in a vital
place is as certain death as a minnie ball.
Nearly everybody knows how to handle a
shotgun. Most of our men can bring down a
bird on the wing with one. We have seen men
with a double-barreled gun shoot two birds on
the wing in opposite directions. These weap
ons are light and not burdensome. Bayonets
should be fixed on them. A company or reg
iment armed with these should at the onset
charge up within 50 yards of the enemy.
Then, two rounds would mow down half the
enemy and put them to flight. The bayonet
and the cavalry would finish the work. A
campaign of this kind would necessarily be
"abort, sharp, decisive” and victorious, with a
far less loss of life than any other.
Muskets and rifles are cumbrous and bur
densome. Tbetr range is long, but it is neces
sarily inacurate, and does but little execution.
In the Crimean campaign, which was one of
the most fearfully destructive to human life
than aDy modtrn war, there waa 700 pounds
of lead in musket balls shot away to every
raau that was hit. Every one of these musket
balls would have made enough of buck shot to
kill a half-dozen men, and would have killed
them, if fired from a distauceot fifty yards.
It has often been said that long range guns
—necessarily inacurate as they are—were
maae on/g for cowards. We do not endorse
this assertion; but it does seem to us that the
double barreled shot-gun is far superior, as a
convenient and destructive wsspon.
Tho time, however, has come when the ex
periment must be made ; and we look for the
most signal results from it.
Another Regiment about to be off for the
War.
We have seen a letter from the Secretary of
War, to our ex-brother of the "Constitutional
ist,” Col. Henry Cleveland. It states that the
Regiment, ot which it is probable Hon. J. W.
II. Underwood will be Colonel, and himself
Lieutenant Colonel, will be ordered to service
in Virginia as soon asorgsnia d.
It is hoped that Col. Underwood, who is now
in Virginia, can get good arms; but the letter
from the War Department, dated two days be
fore the last great battle, instructs Col. Cleve
land to arm bis Regiment with the best guns
be can get, the Department to pay for them at
a fair valuation on their arrival in Richmond.
Hi* Excellency, Jos. E. Brown, will accept
the Regiment as State troops, end give them
all tne arms ho can spare from the coast de*
fense.
The Governor will have all ths rides that
the Companies will get and loan the BlsU, al
tered to ths best minnie patterns, at the ex
pense of the State, immediately. Tney will
also bo provided with bayonete as soon a* the
workseen begotten up. Every man to keep
bis own gun.
A full number of Companies have tendered
to the Regiment, but some are not fall of men;
and full Companies, ermeo, will probably have
the preference.
Shot-guns will do when rifles esnnot be
bad.
Col Underwood is well known as possessing
remarkable ability, though not, in technical
phrase, a "military tnsnbut Col. Cleveland
has had ample opportunities to beoome effi
cient; and the Majoralty will he tendered to a
gentleman from West Point Academy.
Companies are net deaired to offer who will
not feel bound to vote for the proposed field
officers; but those who will do so, may yet get
an early place, "dote to the dashing of the
guns," by addressing Colonel Underwood, at
Rome.
Prizes of the Jeff Davis aud Humter Re
captured, and Privateers Murdered.
By the New York “ Herald" of the 22d in
stant we have the particulars of the capture of
the schooner J. 8. Waring, on the 7th of July,
by the privateer Jeff Davis. The J. S Waring
left New York on the 4th of July, for Montevi
deo, South America. When 150 miles out, on
the 7lh instant, she was captured. The Captain,
(Francis Smith,) two mates, and two seamen,
were taken off the Waring, leaving the steward,
two seaman and a passenger on board. The pri
vateer then placed a prize crew on board of the
schooner, consisting of Montague Amiel, of
Charleston, in command, a man named Stevens
as mats, Malcora Liddy as second mate, and two
seamen. They headed the schooner to the South,
aiming for tho neighborhood of Charleston, it
is said. When 50 miles South of Charleston, ou
the night of the lfiih of July, the stewnrd, a ne
gro named William Tillman, took a hatchet npd
killed the captain and two mates, all of whom
are stated to have been asleep. The others of
the prize crew surrendered, and were compelled
to assist in navigating the schooner back to New
York, where they arrived on the 21st instant.—
The two privateer seamen were at once arrested
by the U. 8. Marshal, and the negro Tillman was
made a hero of.
The brig Cuba, belonging to Mlllbrldge—a
small shipping town in Yankeedom—sailed from
Trinidad dc Cuba, for London, on the 2d of Ju
ly, with a cargo of sugar and molasses. On the
morning of the 4th of July, she waa captured
on the South of Cuba, by the Sumter, of the
Confederate States Navy. The brig Machlas was
captured at the same time.
A hawser was attached to them both, to tow
them Into a Cuban port. This was about two
o’clock on the 4th of July. The Sumter towed
them both along until 5 P. M., when the hawser
ot the ICachlas parted. The 8umtcr towed the
Cuba some ten miles further, and, leaving her,
put back after the Machlas. On coming back to
the Cuba she could not approach sufficiently near
her to get the lmwser, on account of the rough
sea, when she proceeded on with the Machias.
The 8urater had placed a prize crue on the Cu
ba, consisting of five meu—one midshipman,
two sailors, and two marines. The prize ciew
directed the captain of the vessel to work her
towards the land. On the night of the 8th of
July, the vessel passed Cape 8a» Antonia—the
prize crew, it seems, having determined to run
her into some of the Southern ports. That night
the captain, first mate and steward of the Cuba
had a plan matured by which to regain posses
sion of tho vessel, in which they succeeded.—
They seized the arms on the vessel and made
prisoners of the crew. The captain then steer
ed for New York, where the prize crew are now
prisoners.
We regret to record these sad reverses of our
brave privateers. They however had their minds
made up for them no doubt; and whatever of
ignomiuy or imprisonment may be heaped on
them, Lincoln dare not hang one of them, ns lie
has threatened to do. Wc say he dare not.
They say they Whipped us.
We have the New York Herald of the 22d
inst.—the day after tbe great battle, which has
the brazen effrontery to claim a great Union
victory and a complete route of our forces. Its
first page is filled with telegraphic reports of
tbe fight from Washington- none of which in
dicate any thing else than the greatest victory.
But let the mendacious sheet speak for itself.
"Fairfax, C. H., July 21.—I am en route to
Washington with details of a great battle. We
have carried the dag. The rebeles accepted
battle, but are totally routed.
LATER.
"Gen. McDowell telegraphs, that the enemy
are completely routed from Lulls Run, and re
treating towards Manassas, leaving their batter
ies in possession of the Union forces''
Again :
"Tbe rebels were driven back inch by inch,
leaving tbeir dead ob the field."
The Herald’a correspondent at Bulls Run at
half-past four, V. M., says:
"Five or six thousand of thefenemy are seen
retreating in the direction of Manassas Junc
tion."
A telegraph to the Herald, dated the 2Ut, at
8 P.M., says:
"I have just arrived in Washington. I have
been on the battle-field all day. I saw the
rebels flying in vast numbers, before leaving
the field ot glory and carnage."
The Herald heads these columns of lies with
the following:
BRILLIANT UNION VICTOTY.
The Rebels Routed and Driven Rack to Ma
nassas.
TIIBRIBKL ARMY 8BVBNTY THOUSAND STRONG.
And ha heads a leading editorial as follows:
"THE ORRAT UEIOE VICTORY AT BULt’S BUR—IIOW
BRIGHTLY BEM1ME THE IfORRIRG."
Clothing for the Soldiers.
Gen. Ira R. Foster, Quartermostcr-Gcueral of
the 8tatc of Georgia, has issued s public address
to our people, urging them to prepare winter
clothing for the soldiers nowin the field from
this 8tale, and proposes to transport the cloth-
lug to them free of charge.
We copy the main point iu the address, which
covers the whole proposition, aud ask our read
ers everywhere to avail themselves of the ad
vantages ot his proposition:
“ L«t each neighborhood, or town, or village,
that has sent a company or companies Into the
field, meet and agree on a superintendent to ar
range the articles for the company. Let each
article be marked by card, who It Is from, who
for. Let the representation of each company
meet together, box up all the articles for each
company seperatcly. On the box let the name
of the Captain, name of the company, aud num
ber of the regiment be plainly marked and ship
ped U> me at this place. Let the Superintend-
ent forward to me, at the same time, a ftiU state
ment of names and number of men In compa-
n 7»“ d l . h6 “tlrlea each is to receive, and they
shall go immediately, free of charge?
The Captured Batteries.
The following description of the Batteries,
taken by oar troop* at tbe tattle of Manassas,
is from the Washington correspondent of (he
New York Tribune :
We have sow all batteries of flying artil
lery. three new ones having been added to
those of Capt. Pickett's. Capt. Ay res, (who sue
eeeded Major Sherman.) and Capt. Griffin.—
They are offioerea and manned from tbe
regulras, who have been on duly at tbe Po-
tomao forts. Capt Carlisle commituds that of
Fort Corcoran, which consists of two rifled
esnnon, two 6-pound and two 12 pound how-
iizers, and will be attached to Gen Scbeuck's
brigade, which wifi form a portion of tbe left
wing of the army , that of Fort Runyon is
commanded by Lieuf. Greer, end ofFort Ells
worth by Cspt Arnold. These will be equal
in metal and men to Capt Carlisle, and proba
bly the former will be in the centre, and the
latter on the right wing.
Captain Seymour is preparing a siege bat
tery which is to consist of enormous rifled
cannon. This will be in tbe column, proha
bly the centre, designed to operate upon tbe
fortifications of Manassas Junction, if they
should be held when reached there.
Griffin’s battery, stationed at the City Hall,
departed for other side of the river, pro
vided with in* guns, 12-pounders, an extra
amount of » munition, and an additional
number of horses.
Captain Brewer’s battery arrived here at 7
o olock yesterday morning, direct from Fort
Pickens. The battery consist of four pieces,
12-pounders. and 84 men. Another battery
follows the above here to-day.
From the New York Newt, July 15th.
Southerners at the North.
We are told with many notes of self-con
gratulatory admiration that Southerners, nay,
that even tbe members of the families of prom
inent Secessionists, reside undisturbed at the
North, while Northern men are treated with
more or less indignity at the South. We sup
pose that it is no great credit to us that this
is so. We are confident that our Northern
hotel keepers aud Broadway merchants are
sorry that there are so few representatives of
tbe South among us, and would use all tbeir
influence to prevent injury to those who hap
pen to be within our borders Of course,
these men and women of Southern birth who
are noo-comba'ants are entitled to protection.
There is no legal way to disturb 'hem, and we
think the Administrulion would not yet at
tempt to raise the standard here of nioh law,
io order to frighten away a few helpless wo
men and children, and old men, whose only
crime is the accideut of tbeir birth, or tbeir
relationship to somebody in the Secession ar
my
All is different in (he South. That part of
tbe land is like a beleaguered city. Its ports
are blockaded aud it is menaced on every
frontier by immense armies. We know little
of what is going on there, or of the condition
of society, except from reports colored by the
prejudices and feelings of the narrators ; but
it is natural to expect that among men fight
ing. as it were, for existence, there might be
exhibitions of passion very different from
those belonging to a community unmenaced
by actual war. We have no doubt that during
tbe Revolutionary war, Americans born and
the relatives of rebels lived without molesta
tiou or itidignify in England ; while here,
amoDg tbe patriots of that time, an English
man who was not identified with the revolti
tiotiary cause would be apt to be treated
somewhat rudely. Human nature is much the
same in all climes and ages, and whatever
may be the faults of the South and tbe vir
tues of the North, io similar esses their con.
duct would not be very unlike. The false
teachings of Abolitionism have represented
Southerners not as men, but rather as demons
and outlaws, aliens to ali sympathy, and en
titled to no respect or consideration. We must
endeavor to unlearn all this.
The tth of July and the Prospects of the
Southern Confederacy In England.
The London correspondent of the New York
News, writing on the 6th July, says:
The American meeting here to celebrate the
4th was a mournful evidence of the decline
the national spirit already feels The Times
gives a full account of it, accompanied by a
scathing article, io which tho Southern States
are declared to be the true inheritors of the
doctrines of Revolution aud Independence, by
virtu* of their Washington and his illustrious
Virginia compeers; and (he vindictive sup.
porters of the war are reminded that precise
iy tbs arguments and phraseology they use
to-day were used by the reviled and detested
namesake and precedent representative of
their section, to-wit: Lord North !
The Manchester Guardian, a mouthpiece of
the great cotton-spinning interest, dismisses
the 4th of July party thus:
" The Americans resident in London celc
brated the 4th of July by a dejeuner, presided
over by a New York clergyman. No American
of note was present, aud the speeches deliv
ered on tbe occasiou are noticeable only on
account of tbe absence of that insolent and
menacing tone adopted at the Paris break
fast."
At Liverpool there was a quiet but influen
tial gathering of Peace men, whose appeal
will soon be making its way throughout your
Northern States. It will represent the dis
tinction and the wealth of our greatest Amer
ican trading seaport.
Several vessels in that harbor flaunted the
flag of the Southern Confederacy.
If the war should oontioue, depend upou
it that arms, munitions aDd supplies of every
description will reach the South from this
country and the Coni inant of Europe, and
cotton and tobacco brought thence, should
your fleets have to be annihilated in the at
tempt.
Whole civilized nations will not look idly
on and brook a wanton infliction of ruin upon
any great interest that concerns tbeir own
welfare.
It is declared here that a cessation of your
oivil war concerns mankind ; aud that there
being no unanimity on either eide of your dis
pute. natioos oan be guided in their action by
their sympa hies aod interests, as they have
been always. The reported employment of
officers from the despotio armies of Europe,
in the Northern service, is talked of here a
mong the people as a most significant and
unfavorable sign,
Ohio Hogs—The Lewisburg Chronicle, no
ticing Gen. McClellan's scheme for subjuga
ting Riohmood by marohing columns of troops
to Abingdon and Covington, and taking the
railweyi to tbe Capitol, says :
We have lived in Lewisburg for nsarly 30
years, aod during that time many large droves
of Ohio bogs have passed by tbe grratKanaw*,
ha route to Richmond, but we have no re
collection of any of them having returned. It

A Fight lu liraxton t'ouut\ —The Llucoln-
Itee Caught and tv hipped.
A few days since Col. Tyler, who was form
sriy a Yankee fur trader iu the Northwestern
counties iu this State, and who is now station
ed at Western, in Lewis county, and commands
Lincoln’s ruffians there, determined to make
au excursiou into Braxton county ; but the
Colonel was frustrated in his designs Some
of the Braxton boys, learning his plans, de
teroiined to bead him off. and. accordingly
selected a point on the road lie was traveling
suitable for their purpose, and accomplished
their designs in the following manner :
At a point where the Colonel had to ascend
along hill, they felled trees in his path aud
fell back to a convenient point, where they
laid in ambush until he parsed. They then fell
ed trees in his rear, also, thus completely catch
ing him iu a trap They then fired upon him,
killing some fifty or sixty of his men and c t i-
turiog many of bis horses, &c This enter
prise, we understand, was conducted by oue
of the backwoodsmen of the county, and, from
its success, we presume that Col. Tyler, who
is said to have accomplished some gallant ex
ploits in another capacity io that section of
country, will be a little more careful io his ex
cursions of rap>ue and plunder ou the Brax
ton people.

The following proclamation has just been re
ceived from Brigadier-General Pope:
8t. Charles, Mj., July 12,1861.
To the People of North Missouri :
By virtue of power and authority, I have as
sumed command in North Missouri. I appear
among you with a force strong enough to main
tain the authority of the Government, and loo
strong to bo resisted by any means in your pos
session usual in warfare. Upon your own as
surance that you would respect the laws of the
United States, and preserve the peace, uo troops
have hitherto been sent iu your section of the
country. a
The assurances, for tbe last ten days, howev
er, have plainly exhibited your lack of either
the power or inclination to fully carry out the
pledges, and the Government has therefore
found it necessary to occupy North Missouri
with a force powerful enough to compel obe
dience to the laws. A.- soon as it is made man
ifest that you will respect Its authority, ami put
down unlawful combinations against it,you will
lie relieved of the presence of the force under
my command, hut not until then. 1 therclore
warn all persons ink iug up arms against the
Federal authority, who attempt to commit dep
redations upon public or private property, or
who molest uuotfending or peaceable citizens,
that they will be dealt with iu a moat summary
manner, without waiting civil process.

The solicitude about friends who were in tbe
great battle at Manassas Junction on the 21st
inst., will cause many iu Georgia and Alaba
male hurry to the place. For their benefit I
will state that if they go by the Virginia route
they should leave Montgomery by the morn
ing train—leave Atlanta by the 7 I\ M. train
on this Road—the connection by this train is
close, going through from At ama to Richmond
in about fifty •.three hours.
I will further state that if tbe East Tennes

them to as many Cars as may be needed in tbe
