SOUTHERN /.CONFEDERACY. Southern tfonfedtratn Lj. HBRLf BMITH, 71 ’bditom and raowvTOM. •* -'♦"''""if ATLANTA, GIOROIA) TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1861. Judge Catron's Position. " To the Editor* qf the Nashville Union A Amer- » 1 called U mi Judes Catron soon after his return from holding ths Federal Court st St. Louis, and cooverasd with him fully relative to bis position in the present con mat between tho North sud the Booth, and urn fully satis fiod that his mission to Missouri resulted io earing our Wends there, and that Judge Cat ron's reelings are with the South. It is true that he yet clings to the hop# that the Union may possibly be preserved, or a reconstruction may take place, as many other good citisens of his sge still hope for, and that a revolution will occur in public opinion at the North, when they will concede to the South all they ask. There are vqry fcw left in tha South that sympathize with Judge Catron in this wish, hut, st the seme time, there is nothing in it inconsistent with his preference for the South in a final division. I may add here, that I en tertain no doubt whatever, from my conference with Judge Catron, that when the current of events shall satisfy his miud that this illusioa is without foundation, as sursly will occur, he will take his natural position by the side of his kindred, friends and countryman, and will prove (as his feelings indicate) one of the Htsnncheat and truest friends of the Southern Government. I write this as a matter of justice to Judge Cfttron, whose feelings are not generally un derstood. He wishes to live among his old friends and acquaintances here, and, after foil conference with him, I can sea nothing in his wishes in this respset inconsistent with the interests of our community. He will not un dertake to hold a Federal Court here again, no matter what may occur, an Ke stated to me several times. Judge Catron is too old to form new associa tions. is earnest and honest, and a better and more reliable friend to our cause than many among us who are not excepted to by any. V. K. STEVENSON." Now, our opinion io relation to this matter is, that no man who has a hope of reconstruc tion of the Union is Jit to be a citisen of the Confederate States, or of any one of the States composing them. A decent respect for the Stale in which Judge Catron resides ought to have caused him to resign his Federal office long ago, whether be wants a reconstruction or not. He should either have stood np to his State in her hour of trial, or he should have left it forever. No man can be a true friend Li the South who, living within our borders, and under our jurisdiction, will hold an office under an enemy’s Government. For the life of us, we don't see the difference between this ii nd treason. When Judge Catron does find all hope of re construction gone, and when he then resigns, ho will be entitled to no credit for it. If suf fered to live among us in future, he will be a disgraced man—unhonored and unesteemed, and this had odor will fall on his children and his children’s children, for a hundred years and more. While he can be permitted to do so peaceably, be had better go to “ Abraham's bosom "—pull upstakos and settle permanent ly in Massachusetts, or some other point in Aholitiondoin. There he sad his posterity can he respected, but here they cannot—especial- )y after this eard of Mr. Stevenson's. A Regiment of Lawyers. A correspondent of the Savannah Republi can proposes to raise a regiment composed ex clusively of the lawyers in the SUte. It looks well on paper—it sounds prettily; but we suppose it will preve an abortion equal to the attempt made some time ago in this end of tho State to raise a regiment of Doctors.— We hope, for tho credit of the State, that no more suoh propositions will be made. They are impracticable, and not worth the space tbs proposition occupies in the Savannah Repub lican, in any light in which the subject can h< viewed. The lawyers and doctors are as patriotic ai any other class of men, and proportionately as many of them have already gone into service; but it is out of the question to raise s regiment of men from a certain class—taking one here and another there from all parts of ths State —and that class, though numerous enough, and perhaps too much eo for the good of the country, is nevertheless, comparatively, very small in numbers. It can’t be done, gentle men ; so save your credit by making no more such propositions. If you want to go to the war, go along with the balance of the boys and do your heat fighting. There is something practicable in that. Produce Loan. We see it stated, in a letter written by the Rich mond correspondent of the Charleston "Cour ier," that the cottou subscribed in the States of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi amounts to $50,000,000 -the sum asked fer by Congress. This, besides the amounts subscribed in the other otton States, and besides the amount of other kinds of produce all over the Confedera cy, and the tobacco of Virginia. Caa such a people be subjugated ? The men who have made thee# subscriptions will freely give it every cent to the Government, if there should be any need of it, and they will do the same thing again and again, from year toyear, as long as the war lasts. All this, and more, will be done, if there is any necessity for it.— The sooner Abe sad his minions find this eat, the better for them, ss well ss us, sod ths rest of mankind. Wheat fttrmw. Farmers do not usually take care of their wheat straw—having a sort of notion that there is bat little sustenance ia it. Thti II 4 mistake. When it Is properly sav ed and fed it is very nutricious. As soon ss it is thrsshad, it should be put up in pens and earafolly secured from the rain. In winter, it should be fad to horses, mules or eattle, by first rutting It up, mixing it with bran or mssl and dampening the whole. Prepared ia this way, it Is most excellent food, and enough of it will keep stock fat all the winter. Straw wifi also bo wanted tor tho soldiers.— Threshing time is new on head. Let sons of be wasted. J9»Tbe Daily and Wsekly '‘Confederacy" for sale at all (Imss, at Ire cents psr eoj*.

Cuuitbodone? It can, provided oar legislature wilt give th# necessary protection ; and sursly, under the pressing exigencies of our situation, it will.— That promotion should bo tho passing of a stringent dog law, to tax every person five dol lars for every dog kept over oae, and t# make esoh man pay at least three dollars for every sheep killed by bis dog, or dogs, to be eolleet- ed in Justices Courts as in common cases for damages, and suoh dog, or dogs, if not previ ously killed by the owner or others, to bo con demned by said court aad kilted forthwith. This law would relieve oar country of mul titudes of these worthless animals, and save all that It take* te raise and keep them. Many families who are scarcely able to keep a sup ply of bread for their obildrea, keep from two to four doge. Io consequence of the high price of wool, they have to be clad in ootton during the winter season, thereby subjecting them to much suffering from oold, and causing many to be burned to death. Tue mountains of Northern, the old fields of Middle, and the pine lands of Southern Georgia, coaid soon be well stocked with large flocks of sheep, to snpply our families with warm clothing for winter, our tables with fine mutton, and soon we could make wool, one of our exports, were it not for the great numbers of worthless sheep-killing doge. I therefore respectfully solicit the oiti sens throughout Georgia to send up large pe titions to our next legislature, asking the pas sage of such a law for our protection. CHATTOOGA. P. 8. Editors who are in favor of this please oopy We cheerfully give place to the foregoing, and hope something will be done to rid the country of dogs. Besides their sheep-killing habits, they are the most worthless creatures on earth and do no good commensurate with their expense. Why people will foolishly throw away their hard earnings by feeding a snarl ing cur, a yelping hound, or a pet poodle, ws cannot understand. We know some families who are poor and are actually in want of the prime necessities of life, yet keep doge, acd feed them enough to eupply many of those prime necessities, while the dogs do not bene fit them to the amount of one ceut. We know rich families who keep large Newfoundlands and poodles for pets, and feed them with the dainties of the land—enough to supply food for some poor chiidran near by who ares uffer ing for something to eat—the dogs meanwhile not worth a cent to thoir owners or any onfe else. The bread and meat, milk and butter that is fed to dogs, and the sheep that they kill with in the Confederate States, would bountifully feed our whole army and pay for its transpor tation to them, and supply food to every poor soldiers’ family that is lift to be cared for by us, while not a particle of good is rendered by them to their owners in return for all this waste. This ought not to he so, and we hope s stop will be put to it. Another Letter from Billy Gleun. M a wars as Jumctiox, July 26, 1861 Dear Father : You have doubtless been very uneasy about ms, fearing that I was killed wounded. I assure you I came out perfectly unharmed, and I am in the best of hopes that this war will come to a speedy close. When the Yankees that are left get back home and take the scales off the eyes of their fellows in regard to Southern men’s feelings in this war, it will be hard to rally men enough to meet us again, for it was the most complete victory ever gained on this continent. Our Seventh Regiment was in the thickest of the fight, the left wing especially, of which our company (the Davis Infantry) formed a part, was highly spoken of by Beauregard.— We captured, by a series of charges, Sherman’s celebrated battery. We turned their own non against them, killing nearly all their en gineers and horses. Ws were engaged with the best men they had, including Ellsworth’s Zouaves. All those New York Fire Zouaves were killed but about two hundred. We also had the regulars to contend with. The prison era say we fought not like men or soldiers, but like devils, and that God is sorely on on Ws all know it to be so, for nothing world but a Divine power could have saved us from being out done. We were almost ourroun dsd by treble our number. We fought like lions, and no man seemed to care a straw for his life, preferring death to defeat. I was standing by Mr. Puckett’s side when he was shot through ths breast. I am proud to be able to say that I was in that great battle—not for the honor of the thing, but io know that I did my whole duty for my conn try. There is no use in trying to describe the con sternation and psnie of the foe after they were routed. The papers have told you something of that. The funniest thing was that most of their big men—Congressmen—and some two or three hundred ladies in carriages, had come out to greet their officers with their smiles and kisses, and the soldiers by the waving of their handkerchiefs aad clapping their little hands, and to have a grand pic nic after they bad con quered us. Imagine their surprise and morti fication, when these heroes of theirs whom they had come out to cheer, encourage, and bless, cams hack in all haste, filled with con sternation and running for their lives ! Some without guns or knspaacki, coals and shirts off, shoes and hats lost, pitching headlong through them, running over women, carriages and everything in their way; and then clcts- ly followed hy our cavalry, ootting and slash ing them at every jump, and taking prisoners by hundreds! Ths prisoners and wagons are coming in yst every hoar and sent off hy tho car load te Rich mond. Ail tho woundod art well eared for. Tell Mrs. fa. T.

Dear Father: Ths pressure of active pro fessional duties, since my arrival here on the day of battle, (21st instant,) has prevented me from giving earlier attention to your claims, and even now while 1 write, my services are demanded. The greet victory of Sunday last, cost us many lives, while thousands of the conquered foe yet lie woaoded, dying, or deed, and un cared for, upon the battle-field end the sur rounding grounds, about three and a half miles distent from this place. One hundred and ninety victims of the fight are under our charge, 128 of whom ere Feder alists, hailing mostly from Maine, Wisconsin and New York. I have faithfully devoted myself night and day to their relief and comfort, with unremit ting toil, while my couch is any spot, however inoonvenient, which I may for a time inci dentally secure. I regret exceedingly, <o find the medical de partment so poorly supplied with fixtures, blankets, water, wine, brandy, Ac. Indeed, it may he said te be almoet entirely destitute of these necceasary appliances. I have been con strained, therefore, to tax my ingenuity in overcoming many obstacles which would uth erwise have greatly embarrassed successful treatment. Physicians are still needed, not withstanding that many have offered their services; while o( uurses there are none, save one ungainly woman from Michigan, whose homely features and broad dialect, sometimes provoke a smile. She is busy, however, io the culinary department. Even her own pco pie seem to claim hut little of her sympathies or attention, ss she considers them to have acted foolishly, aud to have beeu greatly de ceived. Four Federal physicians are in camp, serving their men; hut exhibit so much "don’t- csrishness" upjn their lugubrious countenan ces, as to render them anything hut agreeable. All of us, with one heart aud one accord, pay their wounded, ss much attention as ou" own, tor suffering knows no distinction of caste, kin dred or condition; and Christian charity, un der such circumstsnoes, should make none. A gentleman, st my side, just from the fluid, says that the famous Billy Wilson's Aid and two privates, have been taken prisoners. They were found after the battle, wounded and able to make their way to camp, having been probably loft hy their panic stricken friends to meet their fate, while they were tilecting tbeii "brilliant retreat." The wild waste and general scattering of munitions of war, baggage wagons, ambulau- c*i, cannon, Ac., were almost without a paral lel in the history of warfare. I counted, and have, therefore seen with my own eyes, 98 pieces of artillery. In additiou to these, we have taken guns, knapsacks, cartridges, halls, Ac., to out fit an army twice as large as our own. One of the most interesting articles of the capture, was the load of hand cuffs (several thousands, it is said,) which the thoughtful and benevolent invaders brought with them, perhaps (?) for the purpose of making the at tachment of the Southern "rebels” to the Un ion stronger than their own Punic faithless ness have ever been able to effect. Might not a few of these specimens of Northern artizan- ship, sent to every town and village in the South, produce striking results upon the minds of our people ? I have just read au interesting letter found upon the field, written in pencil, over the sig nature of J. H. H., and addressed to his sister in Milwaukie, Wis., a brief extract from which I give you. He says, "When they” (the "Grand Army”) "reached CentreviJle, on Sat urday night, (20th,) they numbered 80,000, whilst a re-inforcement of 40,000 came iu from Alexandria and other places.” He further saye, it is "an easy matter to conquer the South; but I suspect the rebels will mske a stand, as thtir forces are numerous, sod excedingly well armed and equipped. Three days rations were put in our haversacks, with the under standing that the fourth day should he spent in Richmond.” He gave some interesting accounts of the New York Zouaves, whom he denounces, in his own language as "a set of blood-thirsty thieves, having leee of sympathy than brutes." They entered an old Virginia mansion on this side of Alexandria-the inoffensive inmates of which were about seating themselves to dine —took possession ef the (able, devoured ths outspread meal, and then hade them "good day," some of them placing their thumbs con temptuously upon the tip of their noses and scornfully twitching their little fingers as they passed off. • • • • • • I suppose that here aud at Bull’s Ban, not less than 15,000 were killed and missing of the enemy, while our loss, so far ss known, may amount to 2,600. I kavs two yoang men from Georgia, now by my side, belonging to the 8th Georgia Regi ment, Col. Bartow—who were badly wounded. Mr. T. J.

The lat ter died, ia great pain, last night, hut was re- •igaed te hie fate, end seat many words of consolation, by members of his company, to his friends and relations- Young Hills, not withstanding my constant attention, is, I re gret to say, at this date, still in a dangsrous oondition.

Numerous letters are daily received in this Department, asking the opiuion of the Attor ney General on an infinite variety of subjects, which it is physioally impossible for him to answer, even if he were authorised to do so. But the least reflection will suffice to ahow that neither the Attomey General nor any other public officer should be permitted to stretch his authority or oarry the influence of his office beyond the circle which the law of the laud has drawn around him.— That law atborises the Attorney General "to give hie advice and opinion when required by the President of the Confederate States, or when requested by any of the Heads of De- pertmente, touching any mattera that may concern their Departments or subjects before them.” This is ths only clsso of cases in which he is permitted to give sn official opin ion.

Meagher, who was in the fight on 8undav last, yesterday told one of the priests hart that he would never again tako up arms against the Sooth ; that God wse on their tide, and that if he fought again it would be for them. The same writer adde : There is evidently a very great ebaage in the Caiholio Irish who have enlisted. Many of them declare that they were induced to enlist by the representation that thair churches bad been burned down in the Sooth, and that all the Sisters of Charity had baen turned out of the Convents, which bad been converted into barracks. They are amaxad to find the state ment so utterly false, snd to learn how many of tbsir countrymen sre enlisted on the side of the Sooth. jfikff* A bearer of dispatches for the War Department from General Wise’s command, in the Kanawha valley, reports that General Wise had evaooated Charleston six hours in advance of its occupation by General Cox, with between fifteen snd twenty thousand Fed eral troops. Our fores numbered about 8,500 men, and retreated in good order, saving all its stores, squippsge and ordnance. General Wise fell bsok in the direotion of Lewisburg, burning the bridge over the Gsuley river.— He has undoubtedly made good his retreat, and eluded the pursuit of the enemy.
