URO W. ADAIR HENRY SMITH,
KIMtnM rROMIRIOM.
ATLANTA., GEOR»IA:
FRIDAY, AUGUST 1>, 1801.
(iuveruora Elected.
Gov. Harris of Tennessee, Is re elected for u
third term, by a majority fur larger than any
Governor ever before received, lie was a seces
sionist when the State decided, by a majority of
(10,000, to remain In tbe Union. His large ma
jority now, shows how thoroughly the people
ot Tennessee arc at this time committed, heart
nnd sonl to the cause of the Conftedernte States.
His opponent was a good man—able, popular
and tme to the South, but his claims were urg
ed in East Tennessee, and lie was voted for there
by the miserable Union malcontents who still
have large majorities in a few counties in that
section. They did this because he was original-
)y a Union man nnd not n secessionist, as Gov.
Harris was. This was fatal to him, aud proper
ly so perhaps—-notwithstanding he had no sym
pathy with them whatever.
In Alabama, they had a glorious old-fashion
ed scrub race for Governor. Watts, Shorter,
Bibb, Rice, Chilton and any number of others
were voted for. It seems tlrnt there was but one
caudUlate iu the field—Judge Shorter, and the
figures so far, indicate that ho is defeated—tho’
we know not how it will result when all the re
turns are in. The returns we have seen, place
Mr. Watts considerably ahead—though he re
peatedly during the canvass, stated that he was
not a candidate for the office.
There was no Convention to nominate a can
didate. Tills was as it should be, and we would
gladly hope that another nominating convention
will never he held In the Confederate States.
Tennessee Traitors Coming to the End of
tlielr Row.
The Nashville papers of the 7th iust., which
reached us yesterday, say that Thos. A. R.
Nelson, cue of the Lincoln ringleaders of East
Tennessee was arrested in Lae County, Va., on
the 4th inst. He was first taken to Cumber
land Gap—tbe point where Tennessee, Ken
tucky aud Virginia all join, and where Gen.
Zollicoffer’s forces are now stationed. From
there he was taken to Abingdon, Va., no
doubt with a view to sending him on to Rich
mond to be tried for treason, of which he is
most abundantly guilty.
He, with his compeers, Maynard, Brownlow,
Bridges A Co., have been suffered to preach
treason and organise conventions against the
integrity of our Government long enough. A
lew days ago, tbe Permanent Constitution of
the Confederate States was adopted by the
people of Tennessee by an overwhelming ma
jority. At the same time members to the Con
federate Congress were elected. Nelson was a
candidate for Lincoln's Congress and was voted
for as such by the malcontents in a few of the
couulies. So were Bridges and Maynard.
They, we hear, have left the State, and it is
supposed are trying to work their way to
Washington, to get seats in Congress, where
thero are a few vacancies, and pretty high
bids are made for some persons who will con
sent to occupy them. It is supposed that Nel
son was on his way to Washington, when be
was arrested.
While Tennessee was not a member of our
Confederacy, and while she had adopted only
the Provisional Constitution, these traitors
wero let alone, under the hope that they would
cease their treasonable conduct when they
saw the State was overwhelmingly resolved,
come what would, to adhere to the South ; but
now the Permanent Constitution has been
adopted by such a majority as Tennessee never
before gave ou any question, and in all proba
bility never will again. At the same election
Nelson and his coadjutors in treachery have
been candidates for Lincoln's Congress; and
sinco that election Nelson, as President of a
Convention of treason-plotters, has called to
gether these enemies of tbe South, to meet iu
Kingston a few weeks hence, to devise ways
and means to overthrow the authority of the
State and CuufederatoGovernments. Tbe cup
of endurance is full. Henceforth, treason
must meet with death, which we hops will be
promptly meted out to every man in the Con
federacy who seeks tbe overthrow of our Gov
ernment.
Where We May Expect to be Attacked.
Kentucky bus had a lair vote and has decided
to remain in the Union. Henceforth her neu
trality amounts to uothing. The Lincoln Gov
ernment has played a deep and successful game
there. Long ago arms were sent Into that State
by the Government at Washington, and distrib
uted all over it to organized bodies of men cull
ed “ Home Guards." They were LUicoluites iu
disguise—their pretended neutrality being actual
Abolitionism. It is now Iwastcd that 10,000 of
iliem arc organized and have arms iu their hands;
and now, that the Slate has shown itself to have
a majority of Unionists in It, they arc to make
one grand effort, and drive the secessionists out
of Kentucky—and Tennessee.
Wc this morning publish a portion of a speech
by that truitor, Andy Johustou, in the United
Slates Senate, demanding that arms be sent to
East Tennessee. Kentucky neutrality is no long
er to he respected since it is oscerUined, by a
fair test, that a minority of her people are against
the South; but an army is to he marched through
that State into East Tennessee, from which point
operations against us are to be made.
This we should judge to be a part of the pro
gramme of Llucolu and Scott.
Since writing the foregoing, we see It stated
by the Knoxville Register of the 30th July, that
arms and munitions of war, intended for the
East Tennessee Lineolultes, have already been
sent Into Kentucky, and some of them have
been received by those for whom they were In
tended. It Is further stated that companies of
these Unionists, under the udvice of Nelson,
Maynard, Johnsou, Brownlow At Co., have been
organized ail over East Tennessee, into whose
hands these guns will he placed as soon ss they
eon be brought Into the State. Some of these
companies in the most rabid section of the mal
contents, boast Dial they are under pay of Lin
coln, and have sworn to support his Govern
ment.
Our Government Is looking out for this mat
ter. General Zolllcoffer has command of that
department. A braver and truer man does not
exist; but we are free to express our fears that
! MgM* be supplied with an Inadequate force and
thtt it will be a second edition of our Western
Virginia campaign.
Heretofore we have depended on Kentucky
neutrality to k««r the vandals of Ate Lincoln
from the Northern border of Tennessee. Tills
rood—dfways slender - is now'broken. We can
depend on It no mod.

HOWARD, OF TDK BCIIOLf! OUARDS.
Mac on, Georgia, August 0, 1861.
Messrs Editors: There Is so little news in
our place, that 1 fear that this letter will be
uninteresting. ludeed, nothing but war news
satisfies the world in these days—everything
else is flat, no matter bow interesting it
might have been ia ordinary timet.
Several of our cititeos who visited tbs Seat
of War, to look after the wounded and dead,
have returned, bringing with them trophies of
tbe late battle at Manassas Among these, is
a Fire Zouave's eap, with a hole through it
just above the briin. Also, the spear head of
a flag staff, captured, with the staff, by youog
Barnes, of this oity ; a jacket of one of tbe
gunners of Sherman’s Battery, Ac , &c. The
account brought by these gentlemen does not
differ materially from those already published
iu regard to the scenes in and around the bat
tle field. They describe the condition of tbe
wounded and dead of the enemy as horrible
beyond description. The melauoholy and re
volting task of burying tbe dead had been
finished-the enemy having detailed but thirty
men to do the work of burying as many as
four thousand dead. Of course, most of the
labor fell upon the Confederates—five hundred
of whom were detailed for this purpose.—
What little inducement is held out for vol
unteers at tbe North ! Poor pay—or no pay
—bard fare, and not even the hope of a de
cent burial! They were promised a farm
in tbe Old Dominion under Greely’e plan ;
but, alas ! it is with much difficulty they arc
allowed tbe usual allotment of mortals—a
peaceful resting place, of six by four ! How
deluded!
Our friend H., who has just returned from
Richmond, says he conversed with several of
the prisouers—nearly all of whom are still
for fight. One officer told him that they did
not regard this defeat, that they could soon
repair this damage. When reminded of their
losses in men, arms, wagens, &c., he remark
ed that these could all be replaced iu a few
weeks. He said he was fighting, not for Black
Republicanism, but for the Government—for
the glorious Uniou. Alas, for the glory of
the Union; it has departed. The presence of
Lincoln and bis miserable advisers in tho sa
ored HaII of Liberty has driven away the
beautiful goddess, and she will never preside
over any Government on this continent again,
we prediot, until the independence of the
Southern Confederacy is acknowledged.
I notice, in our city papers, a call for a pub
lic meeting to-morrow, to take into consider
ation tbe propriety of instructing the City
Council to have an oath of allegiance admin
istered to all tbe residents of Macon. While
I am in favor of everything that looks to the
protection of our citizens from the secret or
publio acts of untrue and disloyal citizens
among us, l cannot see the propriety of this
move. So far as loyal persons are concern
ed, there is no necessity for an oath ; and
there are many who, like Caesar's wife, are
above suspicion, while the rascally abolition
ist in our midst, who would harm us if he
could, would not hesitate to take tbe oath, to
protect him in his hellish purpose, if for no
other reason. But, if our citizens think it
best, I am content to try it.
I should judge, from tbe number of troops
passing through our city from Alabama aud
South Western Georgia, that ample reinforce
ments are being thrown into Virginia, and
that, in the next battle, the Hessians will
meet with another oatastropbe. Let ue con
tinually pray to God for the same power which
was given our troops at Manassas; that we
may continue to frail them out until there
shall not be a trace or track ef such vauJals
upon an inch of Southern soil.
In looking over the list of killed aud wound
ed, uo name among all the deaths affected me
more than that of iny old friend, Capt. C. W.
Howard, of Meriwether. He was a noble fel
low. 1 saw him, aud conversed with him on
the eve of hie departure for Virgiuia. He was
as you may remember, a* minister, of tbe
Methodist denomination, and was placed, by
the last Conference, on a circuit in Talbot
county. Ho attended faithfully, as a Chris
tian warrior, to his clerical duties, until the
war broke out, wheu the fires of patrioti-m
burned so powerfully iu his breast that he felt
that he ought to lend hie help to aid his be
loved South in her struggles against Northern
fanaticism—the more especially, as he had
several years experience, In the early part of
hie life, in the regular army. He left biecir
cult, which was supplied by another without
much difficulty, and raised a company in his
native county, composed of his friends and
brethren—all of whom had the utmost confi
deuce io hie military skill and bravery. He
wii in Virginia, his company in Bartow’s reg
ioieot, Johnson’s division. He led them
in tbe thickest of the fight at Manassas—
our arms prevailed, but the gallant Howard
fell. A truer man never fell ia the battle
field. Knowing him, at I did, I feel that this
tribute is due to bit memory.
But (hie letter is long enough.

To the Authors of the Mouth.
New (bat we roust rely on oureelvee for our
eoheol books, and literature geoerelly, it be
eomee a matter of interest to kaow who art
our Southern authors, and what books we have
printed end in MS. To meet I hie diffloult/,
I propose to publish a oomplele catalogue of
all Southern hooks, with a descriptive title,
the uame and residence of the author, with
such other information ae will be desirable in
such p catalogue.
To accomplish this object, I respectfully re
quest all authors who have books, printed or
io manuscript, whether miscellaneous, relig
ioni, or school books, le send me, at onco,
the title of their books, (heir full name, their
address, and the terms on which their books
oau be bought, wholesale aud retail, and where
these books can be bad.
As soon as the necessary material can bo
procured, the catalogue will be published. It
will afford authors menus of bringing their
books into notice, and at the same time, give
the public an opportunity of knowing what
Southern authors we have, and how their
books can be had.
Authois sending their names, Ac., will on
close one dollar to assist in defraying the ex
penses of publication—for which they will re
ceive the value in catalogues when printed.—
If the work ie not published, the money will
be refunded.

%*Will Southern newspaper* give this cir
oular a place in their columns. Such as do,
and will send a oopy of their paper contain

thanks of the public genet ally.
Andy Johnson wants to come home, aud
begs hard at Lincoln to, send a Bodj
guard along to protect him.
Andy lately made a speech in the Senate at
Washington, in which he said :
Since I left home, having only one way to
leave the State through two or three passes
coming out through Cumberland Gap, I have
been advised that they have even sent their ar
mies to blockade these passes in tbe moun
tains, as they ray, to prevent Johnson from
returning with arms and munitions to place
in the hands of the people to vindicate tbei
rights, repel invasion, nnd put down domestic
insurrection and rebellion. Yes, sir, there
they eland io arms euvirouing a population of
three hundred and twenty-five thousand loy
al, brave and patriotic, and unsubdued peo
ple ; but yet powerlees, and not in a con
dition to vindicate their rights. Hence 1 come
to the Government, and I do not ask it as a
siuppliant, but 1 demand it as a constitution
al right, that you give us protection, give us
arms and munitions; and if they cannot be
got there in any other way, to take them there
with an invading army, aud deliver the peo
pie from the oppression to which they are now
subjected. We claim to be the State. The
other divisions may have seceded and gon
off; and if this Government will stand by
and permit those portions of the State to go
off, and not enforce the laws aud protect the
loyal citizens there, we cannot help it ; but
we still claim to be the Sta e, ami if two«thirdi
have fallen off, or have been Mink by au earth
quake, it does not change our relation to this
Government. If the Government will let them
go, and not give U9 protection tho fault is not
ours ; but if you will give us proteotion we
intend to stand as part of this Confederacy,
holding to the flag that was borne by Wash-
iug.on through a seven years struggle for In
dependence aud separation from the mother
country. We demaud it according to law ;
we demand it upon the guarantees of the Con
stitution. You are bound to guaranty to us
a Republican form of Government, and we
ask it us a Constitutional right. We do not ask
you to interfere as a party, as your feeliug9
or prejudices may be one way or another in
referenoe to the parlies of tbe oountry ; but
wc ask you to interfere as a Government ac
cording to the Constitution. Of course we
want your sympathy, and your regard, at d
your respect; but we ask your interterenco on
Constitutional grounds.
*******
Though sometimes I canuot see my way
clear in matters of this kind, as in matters
of religion, when my facts give out, when
my reason fails me, l draw largely upon my
faith. My faith is strong, based upon the
eternal principles of right, that a thing so
monstrously wrong as this rebellion is, can
not triuoipb. Can ws submit to it? Can
bleeding justice submit to it ? Is the Senate,
are the American people, prepared to give up
the graves of Washington and Jackson, to be
encircled and governed and controlled by a
combination of traitors and rebels ? I say let
the battle go on—it is freedom’s cause—uutil
the stars and stripes (God bless them) shall
again be unfurled upon every cross road, and
from every house lop throughout the Confed
eracy, North and South. Let the Uuion be
reinstated; let tbe law be enforced; let the
Constitutiou be supreme.
If the Congress of (he United States were
to give up the tombs of Washington and Jack-
sou, we should havs rising up iu our midst
another I’eter the Hermit, in a much more
righteous cause—for ours is true, while his
was a delusion—who would appeal to the
American people and to the tombs of Wash
ington and Jackson, in the possession of those
wbo are worse than the iuiiJel and tbs Turk
who held the Holy ^Sepulchre. I believe the
American people would start of their own
accord, when appealed to, to redeem the graves
of Washington, and Jackson, and Jefferson,
and all the other patriots who are lyiog with
in the limits of the Southern Confederacy.—
I do not believj they would stop the march,
until again the n»( of ibis Union would be
placed over the graves of those distinguish
ed men. There will be an uprising. Do not
talk .about Republicans uow ; do not talk
about Democrats now; do not talk aboutWbigs
now ; talk about your country aud the Con
stitution and tbe Union. Save that ; pre
serve the integrity of the Government ;
once more place it erect amoog the nations of
tbe earth; and then if we waul to divide
about questions that may arise iu our midst,
we have a Government to divide in.

[The spirit which animates the patriotic la
dies of tbe South ie well illustrated by tbe

have freely surrendered to the dangers and
privations of war those who are dearest to
them on earth—husbands, eons aud brothers
more dearly prized than gold or diantoud, no
stronger assurance is needed that they an
ready to make every sacrifice upon freedom’!

not require that the ladies should divest them

Salt.—Tl»t New Orleans Crescent, in "Talk
on ’Change," for tbe 31st July, says:
There has been considerable talk about salt,
the stock on hand, aud how long it will last.
According to reliable statistics furnished us,
we conclude there ie fully nx month*’ supply
ou hand for the Slates of Louisiana, Missis
sippi, Teuuessee, Texas aud Arkansas, casting
aside tbe quantity or stocks held iu the inte
rior. The quantity or stock in this market to
day is from actual count—
186.000 lacks Liverpool salt.
300.000 bushels of packing salt.
The quantity ol sack saitou baud ie one
third ot the eulire importation for tbe year.
Aa for packing salt, there waz a large quanti
ty held over trom last year. However, there
is sufficient salt iu the Southern Confederacy
to last for twelve months. In tho meantime,
it is asked, " What ia the Suit Company of
Louisiana doing?" Some eighteen months
since the prospects for an abundant supply of
salt from tbe vats io the parish of Plaque
mine were most favorable. The great gate
last year destroyed everything. That sail iu
abundance can be manufactured within tbe
limits of Louisiana, there ia not a doubt True
we could import salt from Turks' Island, Liv
erpool, 8L Ubea and the Cape de Verds cheap
er than we can manufacture it ourselves. But
if foreign Governments should choose to rec
ognise the paper blockade of Liucoln, Seward
k Co , aud throw tbe great South upon its own
undeveloped resources, we shall De indepen
dent of all foreign couulries. There are salt
work* in Arkansas which oau ba worked to
advantage. Thirty years ago there waa great
strife in entering public lands iu this Bute,
known to have all the requirements for ma
king the strongest kind of salt. It was more
profitable to raise cotton than to distill salt
water; consequently, the manufacturing of
•alt in Arkansas waa suspended by yearly
‘‘“ipeuing foreign salt.
ilt was made before and, we believe, du
ring the Revolution, near Charleston, and if
necessary, can be made here again.

The solicitude about friends who were io tbe

will elate that if they go by the Virginia route
they should leave Montgomery by the morn

on this Road—the connection by this train is
close, going through from Atlanta to Richmond
