Old Papers
For sale at our Reading Room. Price fifty
cents per hundred.
The Southern Confederacy Office,
Has a reliable special letter and telegraphic
correspondent at Manassas Junction —the great
attractive field of battle at present. We have
also engaged reliable correspondents from vari
ous points in Virginia. Everybody wants to
hear the news, and all important dispatches or
news items received by us, will be promptly
placed on the Confederacy bulletin.
In these exciting times it is probable that ex
travagant rumors will get afloat. We caution
the people against them, and beg everybody to
be careful what they believe.
We have every possible facility for obtaining
correct news. This, however, costs us heavily,
and we hope every one who is so anxious to get
war news will admit the equity of subserving
and paying for our paper.
Quite a number of names on our daily list and
a few on the weekly, will be erased this week,
unless the subscriptions are renewed. We in- 1
variably stop sending the paper at the termina
tion of the time for which it is paid.
IggT" Our terms for the Daily are $5 per annum
or 50 cents per month —the cheapest Daily in 1
the South, that gives the same amount of read- i
ing matter.
ET-In all cases, subscribers to the Daily i
“Confederacy” will be charged at the rate of ;
50 cents per month for any length of time less
than one year.
The Weekly is a very large sheet, lull of the
choicest reading matter. The cheapest way to
get the news is to subscribe for the Confeder
acy.
Our Army Correspondent.
We know that our readers have been look
ing as anxiously for the next letter cf our
special army correspondent, as we have.—
The suspense has been long, almost painful,
and we did not know the cause of it till about
a week ago. We then learned that he was
sick and at Richmond. We hoped he would
soon be himself again, but at our latest ac
counts, he was stilt there sick, and unable to
write. This, to us, is a sore disappointment,
and we know it is to our readers also, but it
is one over which we have no control. We
hope he will soon recover, for we want his
able interesting and reliable letters—not only
to grace our columns, but for the gratification
and instruction their perusal affords us.
The Gate-City Guards.
On Monday evening a number of recruits
for this company left here for the head quarters
of the regiment at McDowell, Highland coun
ty, Virginia.
A beautiful flag was presented to the com
pany by Mrs. W. F. Westmoreland on the
part of the ladies of the city who made a new
one for them—the one given them when they
first left here in March last, having been lost
in the retreat from Laurel Hill. The presen
tation took place at the residence of Dr. W.
F. Westmoreland.
Last night Capt. Ezzard left on the State
road to join his command.
We think our friend, the editor of the
Savannah Republican, is needlessly severe in ids
application of harsh terms to the editor of the
“Intelligencer.” The renders of our paper all
know that we have condemned the spirit of some
of the Intelligencer’s editorials, and the unnec
essary application of offensive epithets to good
men, because they happen to be political oppo
nents. We do not take any more pleasure in
seeing other Journals in the State indulging in
the same sort of pastime. The Intelligencer has
been specially abusive of the Republican, but
__lhls docs not justify the Republican in giving a
like rMort. Lot the dignity of the press be pre
served, And let not its influence and usefulness
be impaired by such instrumentalities.
Southern Masonic Female College
Will resume its exercises on the 25th of Sep
tember. From a long acquaintance with the
community in which this exclient and well
conducted institution is located, we say, un
hesitatingly, that for high moral worth, refin
ed and intelligent society, Covington is not (
excelled by any village or city in the Confed
erate States. It is favored with pure air,good
water, and health unsurpassed. It is thus re
lieved from many objections that can be urged
against larger cities. See advertisement in an
other column.

The Fulton Dragoons.
This splendid company of cavalry left us
yesterday morning on the Georgia Road for
Richmond. Their horses went by special
train al 6 o’clock, and they on the morning
passenger train. A very large concourse of
our people, both ladies and gentlemen, attend
ed the passenger depot to witness their de-*
& parture.
This company is composed of lite best men
iu our community. See the list of names in
this morning’s paper.
Thanks.
Wo hereby return our thanks to Edwin
Priest, Esq., of this city, for a very superior
map of portions of Maryland and Virginia,
showing the locality of ail the little points
about the Seat of War, and on a much larger
scalo than any that has yet come under our
noUee. It it, by far, the best thing yet out,
that we have seen. It can be inspected at our
reading room.
Mr. Priest also furnished us with some North
ern papers, fur which wo return thanks.

Atlanta, August, 18«1
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.
The Handcuffs.
Many have asked what we shall do with them,
and a friend has suggested that we make into
chains of three or four fees in length and send
them back to the Yankees from the mouth of our
cannons.
Arrived.
Yesterday morning James A. Adair Esq. of
the Atlanta Grays arrived. He was wounded
in the hand at the battle of Manassas, and
has returned here to remain till he recovers.
We are glad to say that his wound is healing
up quite rapidly, and he hopes to be able to
take a hand in the next fight.
Another.
We also had the pleasure, last evening, of
meeting Mr. Elim Christian, another member
of the Grays, who has been discharged on ac
count of injuries received in the battle, which
unfit him for future service. He was a jour, in
the office of the Franklin Printing Company,
before his enlistment. We all held quite a levee
over him when his familiar face was ushered in
to our office.
And yet Another.
We were also informed that Mr. J. M. D.
Hulsey, a member of the Grays, who was
wounded severely, reached our city yesterday,
and will remain till he finally recovers.

Another Brave Soldier Fallen.
Yesterday the telegraph brought the sad in
telligence of the death of Frank Farrar—a
member of the Gate City Guards. He died at
McDowell of Typhoid Fever. Many of our
soldiers seem to have fallen a prey to the rav
ages of this fatal disease.
Everybody knew Frank for his noble quali
ties of head and heart. He was a young man
of much promise, and was the correspondent
of the Gate City Guards at Pensacola and in
Virginia. We tender our sympathies and
condolence to the bereaved family and friends
and share deeply with them in their sorrows.
His remains will reach here to-morrow
morning.

Editors Southern Confederacy, Atlanta :
Dear Sihs—A fine company has just been
made up and organized in this neighborhood,
for during the war, called the “ Countyline In- I
vincible#.” This is a fine company, and would i
no doubt, if called into service, make its mark I
upon the cohorts of Abe Lincoln. The compa
ny has just been tendered to the Confederacy,
through Gov. Brown. The following are the i
commissioned officers:
A. K. RICHARDSON, Capt.
C. M. TUGGLE, Ist Lieut.

A Great Battle in Missouri I Gen.
Lyon killed and the Lineolnites
Whipped.
Richmond, August 11.—Congress has passed,
and the President approved, an act providing
for the appointment of Surgeons and Assist
ant Surgeons at the various hospitals in the
Confederate States.
It is reported that Congress has passed a ras
olution to adjourn next Monday.
Washington, August 13.—Hon C J. Faulk
ner, of Virginia, late U. S. Minister to France,
has returned. He has been arrested by the
Government, and not allowed to converse with
his friends.
New York, August 13.—An attachment has
issued against Burk Shaw for disobedience in
tbe habeas corpus for the Baltimoreans con
fined in Fort LaFayette. ,
The Nova Scotia has arrived The London
“ Times,” in its city article, says it will be dan
gerous for England to touch the American ,
loan. (
Lord Elgin has been appointed Governor- (
General of India.
The Paris correspondent of the London Post
says the British and French Governments are
corresponding upon American affairs, and will
probably unite in a policy in all respects.
The Herald strongly deprecates any invest
ment in the loan.
I
Louisville, August 14.—Crittenden, Garrett (
Davis, and others, have left for Crab Orchard,
to persuade the Union men to break up their
camps.
Passengers per a California steamer, who
came part of the way with General A. 8. John
ston, state that his suite consists of thirty
officers with servants. He would arrive in
New Orleans between the Ist and 10th of Sep
tember.
St. Louis, August 13.—The rumor is current
on the street, in which some reliance is placed
that Lyons* command in the South-West has
been totally routed by the rebels and himself
killed, and that Siegel is in full retreat with
the remaiaining federal forces. This informa
tion is said to have been received here by the
Secessionists last evening—the messenger who
brought the news having killed four horses
between Springfield and Rolla, in a race with
a government messenger.
It is also reported that General Fremont re
ceived a dispatch about midnight corrobora
ting the above, but the contents of the dis
patch are not divulged.
Great anxiety is felt by the Union men here
and most serious apprehensions are indulged
for the safety of our army. Probably some
thing reliable will be received by the train to
night.
Louisville.—The above is from the regular
correspondent of the New York associated
press. That the Federalists have at length
suffered a disaster may be regarded as certain,
as the dispatch would not haw been permit
ted without official sanction.
St. Louis. —Later. —Tbe following is the of
ficial report of the fight near Springfield on
Saturday, as brought by one of Lyon’s Aids, to
Gen. Fremont:
“ General Lyon, with his army iu three col
umns, under himself, Seigel, and Maj. Sturgis,
attacked the enemy at 6 o’clock on the morn
ing of the lOtb, 9 miles south-east of Spring
field. The engagement was severe, and our
loss was about SOU killed and wounded. Gen.
Lyon was killed in a charge at tbe head of his
column. Our force was 8,000, including 2,000
of tbe Home Guards.
The enemy’s loss is reported to be heavy,
including Gen. McCullough and Gen. Price.—
This statement is corroborated by a prisoner
Siegel retreated to Springfield at 3 o’clock
on the lltb, and continued to retreat on Rolla,
bringing off his baggage trains, and $25,000
in specie from tbe Springfield Bank.
Louisville, Aug. 14.—A letter received here
from a reliable person in Chicago, says be has

Ln dependence, Mo., Aug. 13. —The Santa Fe
mail to the 25th July has arrived. Lieutenant
Smith (federal) went into Chihuahua, to re
cover a government train that had been cap
tured, and got captured himself, by the Tex
ans. The Texans are on their way in force to
attack Fort Stanton, and are seizing govern
ment property wherever it is found. If the
federal orders, to remove the regular troops to
the east, are carried out, it amounts to an a
bandonment of tbe Territory of New Mexico,
to the Confederates.
Washington, Aug 13.—Tho President made
overtures to Garibaldi, on a statement of Con
suls, that be would come and take service in
the United States Army. Garibaldi made no
direct proffer of his services, and scarcely an
indirect proffer.
A. W. Flowere, a Government Clerk, has
been arrested as a spy.
The Southerners have captured two, and
probably four, ioe boats.
Congressman Ely (prisoner at Richmond)
has sent a letter to Lincoln. It is understood
that he decidedly favors a recognition of the
Southern Confederacy—so far as the exchange
of prisoners is concerned.
Tha Assistant Secretary of the Navy says
he has engaged 190 vessels to assist in tbe en
forcement of the revenue laws.
The War Department has official advices of
th edeath of Gen. Lyon.
CoL Hunter has been appointed a Major-
General.
Capt. Craven of the Potomac flotilla, reports
that not one in twenty of the people on the
shores of the Potomac are loyal to the United
States. He sometimes thinks, from the man
ner in which they annoy him and the feder
als on the Potomac, that they are organized
into companies and perhaps regiments.
Col. Burke, commanding Fort LaFayette,
New York, will be sustained by the govern
ment in disobeying the attachment and habeas
corpus writ*. Orders went to him to-day to
defend himself if any attempt was made to
have him arrested for his refusal to obey the
write.
Gen. Anderson (Sumter Anderson,) has de
termined to take the field. He says the Union
men of Kentucky ate calling on him ta help
them.
It is reported that the steam tug Yankee,
was sunk by the George Page (Confederate) off
the mouth of Acqua Creek.
St. Louis, Aug. 13. —The federalists have ta
ken possession of the Police office The Home
Guards are under arms ; and it is understood
that Fremont has declared Martial law. He
has borrowed $250,000 from the St Louis
banks, and heavy seige guns are being mount
tSl, commanding the approaches to the city.
Louisville, Aug. 14.—Roger Hanson, here
tofore classed as a quasi submissionist, spoke
at Lexington, denouncing the war. He said
the Southerners would lose their slaves, burn
their cotton, and sink their plantalions, but
would never submit to the Linaoln Govern
ment.
Rolla, Mo., Aug. 13—via Louisville, 14th.—
The following is furnished by an eye witness,
who left Springfield on Sunday morning. The
fight raged from 6 in the morning till 2 P. M.
The Southerners charged Totten’s battery
three times. Lyon fell early in the action.—
Siegel had a severe struggle, and left three of
his four guns on the field—spiking them.
The Southern camp took fire and was de
stroyed
The Federals lost Col. Gratz (Brown) killed ;
General Sweeney wounded in the leg; Colonel
Mitcheil seriously ; Major Shepherd, sligtly;
Capt. Plummer (of regular army) seriously;
Captains Miller, Lavender, Burk, Macfarland
and Col. Deitzler, seriously; and five Lieute
nants were killed.
Gen. Price was not killed; and the mmor
on the field that McCullough was killed is de
nieb.
On Saturday night Dr. Wincher left for
Springfield with ambulances to see about the
wounded.
Lyon’s body had been treated with great re
spect by the Southerners
Indianapolis, Ind., August 13.—Fremont has
telegraphed to the Government, saying that
Gen. Lyon was killed, and Siegel in retreat,
followed by the enemy. He urges the Gov
ernment to send forward every available man
to defend the flag of the Union.
Louisville, Aug. 14.—A gentleman from St.
Louis says that Fremont, in order to check the
dangerous enthusiasm of the Southerners, has
compelled a ooneent to the publication of false
reports, regarding the affairs in South-west
Missouri. The rout there is regarded as a to
tal annihilation.
After blowing up the powder and destroy
ing the other property, Siegel left, andon Sun
day night encamped thirty miles this side of
Springfield.
The city and county of St. Louis is under
Martial Law. Major J. W. McKinney is
Provost. John A. Brownlee, President of the
Board of Police, has been arrested, and Basil
Duke appointed in his stead.
It is reported that Gen. Hardee, (of the Con
federate army,) with 12,000 men, is inarching
on Pilot Knob, (in the north-west of Madison
county, M 0.,) where 5,000 Federalists with five
cannon, are stationed.
