Southern gMdtag B/&“ Largest City Circulation! “®8 SATURDAY, AUGUST 24, 1861. 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 subscr bing 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 variably stop sending the paper at the termina tion of the time for which it is paid. JJsF" Our terms for the Daily are $5 per annum or 50 cents per month—the cheapest Daily in the South, that gives the same amount of read* ing matter. In all cases, subscribers to the Daily “ 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, full of the choicest reading matter. The cheapest way to get the news is to subscribe for the Confeder acy. —— ' •e • 1 — Commencement at the Female College. We attended, on Wednesday evening, the first commencement of this beautifully located and well conducted institution. To say we were pleased, is but feebly to express our high appreciation of this feast of things excellent, in the way of beautiful young ladies, charm ing music, delightful songs, happy old folks, de lighted juveniles, pensive belles, hopeful beaux, Ac., Ac. The essays of the young ladies were well written and admirably read. The off hand good common sense of Prof. Mayson insures success in all his efforts to instruct the young and please the public. After the presentation of certificates of schol arship to the graduating class, Mr. John H. Seals, the talented editor of the “ Crusader,” was introduced to the audience by the Presi dent, who, for one hour, enchained their at tention with an address abounding in scathing satire upon the follies of the age, replete with irresistible humor, a thorough knowledge of history, and familiarity with distinguished fe male authors, which evinced deep research and extensive rending. This address was one of the features of the evening. Smoke 1 Smoke !! Smoke !1 ! Who Would not smoke—a good Hegar t All desire this luxury should avail them- of the Segar manufactured at Forsyth, that from a small beginning has, by en ergy and fidelity in business become a smoking institution ! We commend the proprietors, Messrs. Lipman, Butler A Co., as every way worthy of confidence. Their segars can be tested by wind and fire. —. • Hain, Hain—The Meeting. Yesterday the largest amount of rain fell that has fallen iu any one day during this summer. . The meeting at the City Hall, which had been called to appoint delegates to the Guber natorial Convention, was not held. The rain fell iu such torrents that people could not get out. Great Male of Salt. Persons desiring to purchase salt, are refer red to the card of A. K. Seago, in to day's pa per. Thia is a rare opportunity to get a sup ply of thia indispensable article as it was pur chased, some time back. It will probably be told at a lower figure than it could now be bought on the sea board. Religious Notice. The funeral discourse of Frank Farrar, who died in the army in Western Virginia, will be delivered in the First Presbyterian Church on Sabbath morning next. Young men are invi ted to attend. They will be especially ad dressed. Our Correspondence. We call attention to the interesting letter of our correspondent, J. N. 8., from Monterey.— We are happy to announce that he will be a regular contributor to our paper from the Ist regiment. - MO European Sentiment. Our readers will find an able and interest ing article in thia day's paper, from the Liver pool “Mercury.” We are indebted to a gen tleman direct from Europe for the peruaal of a number of Liverpool and jgpndon journals. Jrfh Mr. Lewis H. Clark will leave here on Monday morning next with recruits for the Atlanta Grays, at Manassas, and will carry any letters for that Company left at the store of Clark A Grubb, on Whitehall street. - ~ • —<♦- —,«——— Lard.

Declaration of Independence of the State of Missouri by Gov. Jackson. The Nashville papers of the 10th instant contain the proclamation of Governor Clai borne F. Jackson, concluding as follows : The General Assembly of Missouri, the rec ognized political department of her Govern ment, by an Act approve t May 10th, entitled ” An Act to authorize the Governor of the State of Missouri to suppress rebellion and repel in vasion," has invested in the Governor, in re spect to the rebellion and invasion now carried on in Missouri, by the Government and people of the Northern States and their allies, the au thority “to take such measures as in his judg ment be may deem necessary or proper to re pel such invasion, or put down such rebell ion." Now, therefore, by virtue of the authority in me vested by said act, I, Claiborne F. Jackson, Governor of the State of Missouri, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for thSFrec titude of my intentions, and firmly believing that I am herein carrying into effect the will of the people of Missouri, do hereby, in their name, by their authority, and on their behalf, and subject at all times to their free and un biassed control, make and publish this pro visional declaration, that, by the acts of the people and Government of the United States of America, the political connection heretofore existing between said States and the people and Government of Missouri, is, and ought to be, totally dissolved ; and that the State of Missouri, as a Sovereign Free and Independ ent Republic, has full power to levy war, con clude peace, contract alliances, establish com merce, and do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do. Published and declared at New Madrid, Mis souri, this sth day of August, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and six tv-one. 7 CLAIBORNE F. JACKSON, Governor of Missouri. — A Secessionist Loses a Legacy. Henry King, a wealthy resident of Allentown, Penn sylvania, died a few weeks since, leaving an estate valued at $300,000. He died childless. He was a brother of T. Butler King, one of the commissioners of the Confederate States, now in Europe. Mr. King had made a will leaving half of his property to his wife and the ether half to his brother, but a few weeks before his death, exasperated at the secession sentiments of his brother, he made a new will leaving most of his property to his wife, and the remainder io charitable purposes. An “ Efficient ” Blockade. —The brig Santa Clara, captured by the Jeff Davis, ar rived in our port yesterday, in charge of Cap tain Stone, prize master. She was, at the time of her capture, bound for New York from Porto Rico. Her cargo consists of 201 hogsheads and 75 barrels of sugar, and 40 hogsheads of molasses. Hurrah for Abra ham’s blockade 1 Important to those Going to Virginia. Office Superintendent W. & A. R. R. 1 July 23d, 1861. / 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—the connection by this train is close, going through from Montgomery to Rich mond in 58 hours ; Atlanta to Richmond in 41 hours; Dalton to Richmond in 35 hours. I will further state that if the East Tennes see Roads are short of Cars this Road will help them to as many Cars as may be needed in the emergency. JOHN W. LEWIS, July 23—ts. Superintendent.
