CIRCULATION EQUAL TO THAT OF
ANY PAPER IN THE STATE.
GEO. W. ADAIR J. HENLY SMITH,
EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA:
TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1861.
The Gubernatorial Election.
In our last issue we published the proceed
ings of a meeting in Clayton County, appoint
ing delegates to the Convention, which is to
assemble at Milledgeville on the 4th Septem
ber, to nominate a candidate for Governor. We
did so, because the meeting expressly ignored
old party issues, and chose delegates from
each of the old parties—thus showing their
faith by their works.
We would gladly hope, that when the
Convention assembles, a like harmonizing,
fraternal and patriotic spirit may prevail;
that a nomination may be made that will be
satisfactory to all the delegates, and that no
other candidate will be run. What we are
specially after now, is the harmony of our peo
ple, and we are willing to concede or do any
reasonable thing to secure it.
But we are free to confess, however, that we
have small confidence in the Convention ac
complishing so desirable a result; and further,
that we are opposed to the Convention alto
gether.
In order to make our objections forcible and
clear, we will use an illustration that we
would not otherwise. It is this:
Some of the friends of Governor Brown are
strongly pressing his claims, and are sending
delegates to that Convention to secure his
nomination. Others in the State are his bitter
opponents, and are sending delegates there to
secure his defeat, and the nomination of some
other man. If Gov. Brown should be nomi
nated, we expect those who are so bitterly op
posed to him to revolt—secede—charge that
the Convention was packed by “Brown’s sat
ellites,” de.—assemble in another body, or call
another Convention, and nominate an oppos
ing candidate, and we shall then be cursed
with another disgraceful, heated, bitter and
damaging partisan contest.
If some one else besides Gov. Brown should
be nominated at the Convention on the 4th
September, we expect those who have been so
arduously working for him, to go through the
same disgraceful forms of kicking up a row,
breaking off, getting up another Convention,
and nominating him or some other man to op
pose those who shall have defeated his nomi
nation in the Convention now called. We
deem it next to impossible to have a guberna
torial canvass with only one candidate.
These results, or something of the kind is
what we may expect frem the Convention—
hence, our unqualified opposition to its assem
bling. If different results are attained by its
deliberations—if harmony is secured—no one
will be more rejoiced than we; though we
shall still be opposed to a Convention, or any
such system of bringing out candidates. They
are injurious and demoralizing. They beget
cliques and parties, with all their corruptions
and dangers, and if the approaching Conven
tion does not, the next one will.
It contains the same seed which grew up
into an Upas, and produced the death of the
old Government, and will produce the same
results with us, if allowed to germinate and
grow in our midst.
No. Give us an old fashioned, honest scrub
race. Let every man run who feels inclined,
and let every man vote for whoever he may
feel inclined, whether he be a candidate or
not. Some may sneer at this kind of a can
vass, and endeavor to throw odium upon it;
but it is the only honest and safe way of bring
ing forward candidates and choosing officers.
It is the only way in which the people can
can have a fair and untrammeled chance to
vote for whomsoever they please.
This system breaks into the arrangements
of all cliques, and ungears the wheels of cor
rupt party machinery. It knocks all their
villainous schemes into pi and upsets all their
evil, fiendish calculations and combinations
to get themselves into power for the purpose
of fleecing the people and fattening upon the
spoils. If permanently adopted by our peo
ple, it will shake off these leeches who have
so long been drawing the blood from the very
vitals of our body politic, and force them to
live by some other means than putting their
dishonest hands into the pockets of the peo
ple, and filching therefrom to the content of
their greedy, cormorant souls.
We are greatly pleased with the late can
vass in Alabama—though some of the news
papers in conducting it threw out firebrands
and triad to engender discord. There was no
Convention, and the free and untrammeled
choice of the people will be their Governor.
We expect the happiest results from it.
Let us again say that we do not make these
remarks for the purpose of injuring any as
pirant, or profiting any other. We are per
fectly willing for Gov. Brown to be our Gov
ernor-third term or not—if be be the choice
of the people; and we are perfectly willing
for some onec’se to be Governor, if the peo
ple so decide. We shall be satisfied with the
people’s choice so long as he is their choice.
We have in good faith laid aside all old party
prejudices and preferences. We are perfectly
willing to Lave an old Democrat, Whig, or
Know Nothing—Bell, Douglas or Breckinridge
man, for Governor. We would not give the
toes of a copper for choice on all past issues;
but what wo do want, is for the people to have
lh*ir choice, and to have a fair, honest and
untrammelled opportunity to make known
that choice; and we, most of all, want no
system inaugurated that will most certainly
demoralise our people, and endanger our in
stitutions end Government.

The Blockade.
Thatstory about Lord Lyons having given no
tice to Lincoln that Admiral Dundas was going
to break the blockade at Charleston, which ap
peared in the Richmond papers on the SHh
instaul, turns out to be a hoax—net having the
slightest foundation whatever in truth.

SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.
Somebody being Hurt.
The following, from an exchange, are some
of the results of Black Republican rule. Lin
coln’s infamous policy toward the South, in
stead of impoverishing us, is working like a
charm in our favor, and against his own de
luded and fanatical supporters:
High Old Times for Farmers.—The St. Louis
Republican, speaking of the depressing effects
of the war, says: “In this market potatoes
cannot be given away at 6c. per bushel; new
corn will go down to 10c., if it can be sold at
all; oats will be worth nothing; bay will be
a drug, and wheat will not, in all probability,
command over 35c.”
In Northern Illinois, last year’s potatoes,
sound and nice, are given away. One farmer
in Whiteside county has thrown five hundred
bushels of fine potatoes out to the weather, as
no one would take them for cost of transpor
tation.
An lowa paper quotes potatoes at 2c.; wheat
30c.; corn Bc. per bushel; butter 7c. per R>.;
eggs 2. per dozen; cheese 6c. per lb.; market

How they Intend to Crush the South.
To-day we publish an editorial from the
New York “Herald,” suggesting a plan to
crush out the “Southern rebellion,” and for
the additional purpose of the Yankees and
their Government getting hold of our cotton.
To the accomplishment of this grand object—
getting hold of our cotton—the Yankees are
most anxiously turning their longing eyes, and
here the plan of obtaining it is developed.—
Let our people take notice, and govern them
selves accordingly.
In this connection, we also give the plan of
Gen. Banks to subjugate us, which is so simi
lar to Bennett’s for getting the cotton, that we
have thought it our duty to lay them before
our readers. We make no further comments
than to say their hellish schemes will fail.—
They can’t get the money to wage war on us
upon so gigantic a scale, unless they get our cot
ton. Gen. Banks’ plan of borrowing so much
money in small sums will fail. Read again the
financial article from the N. Y. “ News,” which
we published last Saturday. It shows the
proportion of a war’s expenses that the great
est nations have been able to borrow. The
United States Government can get the money
to carry on the war only by taxation or confisca
tion. Let them try either as soon as they
choose; and when they shall have obtained
the money, by any means, they will fail to
overrun our country. Ten millions of freemen,
fighting in the holy cause of liberty, can nev
er be enslaved.
Judge Wayne.
It is said that Judge Wayne, of the United
States Supreme Court, tho’ a citizen of Geor
gia, is now in Washington for the purpose of
taking his accustomed seat upon the bench.—
In the general bankruptcy of character with
which so many of the foremost men of that
State have allowed themselves to be carried
away by the secession mania, the firmness of
this distinguished jurist is the more admira
ble. All honor to Judge Wayne!
This compliment to the Judge is from Gree
ley’s New York Tribune of the sth August.—
Perhaps he is proud of it—though not know
ing, we can’t say.
It is a significant fact that Justice Wayne,
of the United States Supreme Court, who is
a citizen of Georgia, and who has so many
years illustrated, by his decisions on the
bench, the legal wisdom of Marshal and other
great lights of the law, adhered to the Gov
ernment and the Constitution. He is now in
the city for the purpose of taking his seat
upon the bench. The loyalty of this pure
minded and deservedly distinguished Judge is
a living rebuke to the small souled political
tricksters whose mad ambition have brought
upon us the horrors of civil war.— New York
Herald, 4th August.
The Herald and Tribune are informed that
Judge Wayne is not acitizen of Georgia. Ileonce
was ; but his residence has been in Washing
ton for a number of years past, and he has not
even been in his native State for a great while.
Georgia does not claim him, and he is no more
of us.
Two years ago, Judge Wayne invited to his
house, at the feasts and parties which he gave,
Wm. 11. Seward and others of like stamp and
entertained them as his most honored guests.
To ns, and others who know this, bis present
course is not surprising.
Mr. Jeff. Davis says he took 28,000 stands
of arms at Bull’s Run ; but, considering that
we had only 22,000 men engaged in all, and
that the great majority of them brought their
guns with them out of the action, and have
them still, we fear that the illustrious Jeff, has
rather stretched a point in stating the quan
tity of his warlike trophy.
We find the foregoing in the New York
Tribune of the Sth instant. We quote it to
show our readers, again, how conveniently
these puritan editors can lie, and how easily
their puritan readers can be gulled—for every
one of them no doubt believes this Tribune
lie.
Greeley says it is impossible for Jeff's forces
to have captured 28,000 stands of arms, as they
had only 22,000 engaged, and moat of them
brought their guns away from the fight; but
the wilful, lying old sinner neglects to tell
what be very well knows—that the guns we
captured, as well as the ammunition, were
mostly in the supply trains which their cow
ardly, panic stricken teamsters, <fcc., who were
in the rear of the engagement, incontinently
abandoned when the stampede commenced.—
W.e got those 28,000—Greeley to the contrary

The DirrHRBNCi —When Major Winthrop
was killed at Bethel, his watch and personal
effects were carefully taken in charge by Col.
Magruder and faithfully restored to his family
in Massachusetts. This was eminently right
and proper, and was becomingly acknowledged
by a portion of the Northern press. As a re
turn for this, we gnd the following paragraph
in the Indianapolis Journal:
“ Maj. Godon, of Indiana, has brought home
with him the sword, watch and pocket-book
taken from the body of the rebel Gen. Garnett,
as trophies of his valor. We saw them ex
hibited last night in the hoteL”
Look upon that picture and then upon this!

An Extract from Mr. John C. Calhoun’s
Speech on the Force Bill, Delivered
Nearly Thirty Years Ago.
“ But to return to the bill. It is said that the
bill ought to pass because the law must be en
forced. The law must be enforced. The im
perial edict must be executed. It is under such
sophistry, couched in general terms without
looking to the limitations which must ever
exist in the practical exercise of power, that
the most cruel and despotic acts ever have
been covered. It was such sophistry as this
that cast Daniel into the lion’s den, and the
three innocents into the fiery furnace. Under
the same sophistry the bloody edicts of Nero
and Caligula were executed. The law must be
enforced ! Yes, the act imposing the “tea tax
must be executed !” This was the very argu
ment which impelled Lord North and his ad
ministration in that mad career which forever
separated us from the British crown. Under
a similar sophistry, “that religion must be
protected,” how many massacres have been
perpetrated ? and how many martyrs have
been tied to the stake ? What! acting on. this
vague abstraction, are you prepared to enforce
a law without considering whether it be just
or unjust, constitutional or unconstitutional ?
In the same spirit we are told that the Union
must be preserved, without regard to the
means. And bow is it proposed to preserve
the Union? By force ? Does any man believe
that this beautiful structure—this harmonious
aggregate of States, produced by the joint con
sent of all —can be preserved by force ? Its
very introduction will be certain destruction
to this Federal Union,” Ac., Ac.
Dear Editors: I was reminded of the above
by your letter from Macon, signed Johannes,
informing us that one of the prisoners taken
at Manassas said “ he was fighting not for Black
Republicanism, but for the Government—for
the glorious Union.

Flint River Presbytery.
Griffin, Ga., August 7, 1861.
The Presbytery of Flint River being in ses
sion, the following paper was presented to the
body, and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the people of eleven States of the
late United States of America have, by solemn
enactment, dissolved theirconnection with the
said United States, for reasons which we ap
prove and sustain, and have instituted a sep
arate and independent Government, known as
the “Confederate States of America,” to which
we acknowledge allegiance, and to none oth
er; and, whereas, the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church, (old school,) which met
in Philadelphia in May last, did, by its action
in adopting the resolution introduced by Dr.
Spring, touching the State of the country, vir
tually require that portion of the said church
included within the Confederate States to re
pudiate, disown and deny their fealty to the
Confederate Government, in that the said As
sembly enacted,
Ist, That they are under obligations to pro
mote and perpetuate, as far as in them lies, the
integrity of the United States ; and,
2d, That it is their duty to strengthen, up
hold and encourage the Federal Government
in the exercite of all its functions
Now, we hold these enactments to be uncon
stitutional and anti Christian ; since, in their
adoption, the Assembly has made an attempt
to lord it over our conscience, and has assum
ed to decide a great political question—there
by intrenching upon the provision of the State.
It has also established a new test or term of
communion in the Church, which is the high
prerogative, alone, of the Lord and Head of the
Church ; and, furthermore, it has required of
us, the ministers, elders and private members
of the Presbyterian Church in these Confeder
ate States, to support and sustain a power
which is, at thia moment, waging a most unholy
and wicked war of subjugation upon us—a
compliance with which requirement would be
treason of a most superlative character; there
fore,
Resolved, Ist, That we, the ministers and el
ders of Flint River Presbytery here assembled,
and representing the Churches within our
bounds, do solemnly condemn and denounce
this action of the said General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church in the United States.
Resolved, 2d, That, in the fear of God, and
in view of our accountability at His holy bar,
we do hereby renounce the ecclesiastical su
pervision and authority W said Assembly, and
declare our connection therewith to be dissolv
ed and annulled.
Resolved, ?,d, That, as a Presbytery, we deem
it proper to express our approbation of the
project of organizing a General Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church in the Confederate
States of America, to meet in the city of Au
gusta, in this State, in the mouth of Septem
ber next.
Resolved, 4th, That, in vie.v of the fact that
a Convention has been proposed, as a prepara
tory measure for the formation of a Southern
General Assembly, we will appoint delegates
to said Convention, to meet in the Ist Presby
terian Church in the city of Atlanta, on the
13th instant, or wherever and whenever said
Convention may meet, to consult, deliberate
and vote on such matters as may come before
that body—the design of which is to suggest
and propose a course of action which will se
cure harmony among the Presbyterians in the
formation of a Southern General Assembly.
Resolved, sth, That we appoint the same
number of delegates to the Convention as of
commissioners to the General Assembly, our
Minister and our Ruling Elder.
Dr. John 3. Wilson, Pastor of the Ist Pres
byterian Church in Atlanta, and William H.
Cooper, Elder in the Church at LaGrange,
were chosen principals, and Rev. J. L. Rogers,
of the Central Church, Atlanta, and the Hon.
John Kiddoo, Elder in the Church at Cuth
bert, alternate delegates to the Convention.

From the Chicago Tribune.
W hat Gen. Banks thinks of the Rebellion
and How he would Suppress it.
Early in May last, Hon. N. P. Banks, then
residing in this city, came into the Tribune
sanctum to see our night dispatches. In the
course of conversation, which turned on the
rebellion, Mr. Banks expressed himself sub
stantially as follows: This rebellion cannot
be put down by the force which the Govern
ment has dow called out. Seventy-five thous
and militia will prove wholly inadequate to
restore peace to the country.
The Government, and, be feared, the people
of the loyal States, immensely underrated the
strength and means which the rebel chiefs can
command. This is a rebellion of tbe Slave
Power against a Republican form of Govern
ment. That political element which has been
strong enough to rule this nation for fifty
years, cannot be reduced to subjection to tbe
Constitution by a few regiments of militia.—
Before this gigantic slaveholders’ conspiracy
can be crushed, it will tax to the utmost the
power and endurance of the nation. The peo
ple will have to put forth an effort which has
no {parallel in modern times. He regarded
this as the most formidable as well as atrocious
rebellion which has occurred since the Mid
dle Ages. The Sepoy insurrection was no
circumstance to it, either in strength or wick
edness. The Sepoys did not revolt for the
purpose of strangling free Governments and
setting up a slave despotism, as the authors of
the secession rebellion have done. The Sepoys
were reduced to obedience in a few months by
less than 80,000 British troops. Four times
that many will not suffice to crush out the
slaveholders’ revolt against the Union. If he
was at the head of public affairs, he would
call out/ivr hundred thousand men for the war.
He would charter every merchant steamer
and ship fit for naval service. As soon as the
army was equipped and prepared to inarch,
be would start one column of 150,000 men
from Washington to Richmond. Simultane
ously he would move another column of 100,-
000 Western men down the Mississippi to
reach Memphis by the time the Eastern Army
got to Ricbmond. He would send a division
of 50,000 men from Louisville to Nashville, to
support and protect the Union men of Central
and Eastern Tennessee and the mountain
country of Georgia, Alabama, and North Car
olina. Before these columns moved he would
fit an expedition by sea, and place 50,000 sol
diers aboard the fleet, to hover along the
Southern coast from Charleston to Galveston.
This would keep the rebels at home in tbe
coast States, as they would bein constant dread
of a visit at every* port, not .knowing where
tbe fleet might land the army. This force on
shipboard, Mr. Banks thought, would compel
to remain in their own States, four times the
men in tbe expedition. It would be a move
able column which, by tbe aid of wind and
steam, might be off Charleston to-day and
land at Savannah to-morrow. Hence its pow
er and efficiency.
The remaining 150,000 he would distribute
in divisions at Washington, New York, St,
Louis, Baltimore and other points, to act as
reserves and supports wherever the exigencies
of tbe campaign might most need them. He
would keep recruiting offices open wherever a
regiment bad been raised, to fill up the vacan
cies in tbe ranks caused by battle or sickness.
He would call on the people to organize a Na
tional Home Guard of half a million men, to
take care of the traitors in their midst, and
to put their shoulders to tbe wheel for a final
effort, if it were found that the first half mil
lion were not able to crush out tbe foul rebel
lion.
He concluded that Richmond, Nashville and
Memphis could be occupied before the frosts
of Autumn, and that during the Winter cam
paign, the two main armies would move south
ward, one along the Atlantic slope, and the
other down the Mississippi. By next Spring,
he thought, the Stars and Stripes might be
wavingover the Crescent City, and even Mont
gomery—the then capital of’the rebels.
When asked where be would procure the
money necessary to equip and support so vast
an Army, he promptly replied: Open a Nation
al loan like the Emperor Napoleon did, and ap
peal to the patriotism of the whole people; take
from the widow’s mite up to Astor’s millions.
The Treasury would be undoubtedly supplied
by the subscriptions of the masses. Only let
the people see that the Government is in real
earnest in its purpose, to put down the rebel
lion, and it will not call on Hercules for help,
in vain.
Such is a brief outline of the suggestion in
our hearing, by Major-General N. P. Banks
for the suppression of the slavholders’ rebel
lion.
Krom the New York Herald, Aug. 4.
How to Cut the Sinews of the Great Re
bellion.
That money is tbe sinews of war is a pro
verbial truth which none will dispute. The
leaders of the Southern rebellion have no
money ; but they have what they consider its
equivalent—cotton—and what, if sold and
delivered, can command gold. In the speech
of Stephens, the Vice President of the Con
federacy, the plan is distinctly announced.—
The rebel Government do not ask money.—
They want the ’planters’ cotton, and, under
the influence ot the eloquence of Stephens
and other orators, travelling around, they are
obtaining large quantities.of it. For the cot
ton thus given them they issue Confederate
bends, and these bonds are put in circulation
as money. It is evident that the value of such
sbinplasters depends on tbe stability of tbe
Government, and all who hold them have,
therefore, an interest in maintaing the rebel
lion. When tbe cotton thus transferred is ac
cumulated at the various depots, the heads of
lha bogus Confederacy will say to the Engish
and French Governments: “ You want cot
ton. Here it is in abundance.. We are willing
te sell it to you ; only you must take it through
our Southern seaports and not by tbe way of
the North. If, therefore, (you will issue
your proclamation, declare tbe blockade
of Charlestsn, Savannah, Mobile,* Pensacola
and New Orleans broken and void by interna
tional law and by virtue of commercial trea
ties, we will sell you ail the cotton you want.
Otherwise we will not let you have a pound,
and you will have a revolution on your hands
among yeur own people before long.” That
is the Southern plan.
Now our plan is this :
Let us send down the Mississippi to the
Cotton States an army of 150,000 men, who I
will overthrow all that can be brought against
them ; for, on the basis of Bull Bun, we can
whip the South man for man, gun for gun,
and general for general; and we can get all
these requisites. If we can defeat the South
ern army, we can get the cotton as a matter
of course ; and being contraband of war, in
fact the very sinews of war, we have a right
te confiscate it and sell it to pay the expenses
of the war. It is the property of the rebel
Government, and is forfeited according to the
act of Congress confiscating tbe property of
all citizens found in rebellion against the
Government. We can, therefore, sell it to the
English and French, and the blockade ques
tion, which now create so much
this side of the Atlantic as well as in Europe,
will receive an easy solution. Let those Gov
ernments, therefore, pause and consider from
which quarter they are likely to first get the
coveted fabric, and act accordingly. If they
should agree to take it from the Confederate
Government they will’fail in their expectations;
for the North will never let them get it. But
if they agree to take it from the United States
Government, no very long time will elapse till
they are in possession of an ample supply ;
and at the time we shall have the means of
defraying the expenses of the war for this
year, while we deprive the enemy of his sole
resource and his last hope.
The cotton crop varies. Sometimes its val
ue exceeds $200,000,000. In 1859 it amount
ed to $161,484,923; and with tobacco, rice,
sugar and other products the exports amount
eu to nearly $200,000,000. AU these produc
tions in the possession of the rebels will
become forfeited to the federal government.—
Thus, at a single haul, the conquest of the
South would yield two hundred millions of
dillars.
These recommend the planters to keep it at
home unginned, and in the event of the ap
proach of the Union troops to apply the torch
to it and consume it to ashes. It is evident
that they are uneasy about it, else they would
not have in contemplation the desperate idea
of destroying it. But they might find it more
difficult to consume the cotton than they im
agine. The progress of troops is semetimes
very rapid, and their arrival sudden and un
expected. Those in charge of the cotton would
be more apt to consult their own safety in
flight than to trouble themselves about the
useless destruction of property. But if the
cotton should be deposited at points where
the Southern army was strong, they would
not proceed to burn it till the last moment,
still hoping for the tide of victory to turn in
their favor. It would then be too late, and
would fall into the hands of the victors, just as
arms, ammunition and army stores fell into
the hands of the victors at Bull’s Run, be
cause there was no time to destroy them.—
Thus may the Northern army pounce upon
the cotton suddenly, and secure it.

The solicitude about friends who were in the
great battle at Manassas Junction on the 21st
inst., will cause many in Georgia and Alaba
ma to 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 P. M. train
on this Road—tbe connection by this train is
close, going through from Atlanta to Richmond
in about fifty-three hours.
I will further state that if tho East Tennes
