ATLANTA, GEORGIA:
FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1861.
A few Mistakes and Inconsistencies.
The “Intelligencer” of Wednesday, says
the “ Confederacy” is a “ nondescript” and
has “ Whig, Know-nothing and anti seces
sion antecedents.”
The first issue of this Journal was on the
12th February last as the “Gate City Guar
dian” —since then adopting the name of the
“ Southern Confederacy.” Previous to that
time, it has no antecedents, for until then it
had no existence. Since that time there has
been neither Whigs nor Know nothings in the
country, as a party, and our columns have
not contained a single word in favor of reviv
ing these old parties, or their distinctive par
ty doctrines. So here is a slight mistake.
In relation to its being anti-secession, we
must be allowed to say that no paper in the
South has more earnestly and constantly ad
vocated and maintained secession, and
defended and supported in every way,
the Confederate Government, than this
Journal, from its commencement till now.—
With what ability this has been done, we leave
others to say : but we yield to none—not even
the “Intelligencer”,in honest and unwavering
support of our government, and the right, and
propriety of secession. On the score of “an
ti-secession antecedents” the “Intelligen
cer” is slightly mistaken, as this paper has no
such antecedents ; neither is our Journal a
“ nondescript.”
Again : “ One of the Editors of the ‘ Con
federacy’ was a Union candidate*” Another
slightual mistake. There was no Union party
in Georgia at that time, and said editor, though
a candidate for the Convention was not a
Union man nor a Union candidate. Vide the
platform upon which he stood during the can
vass.
Allthese are facts well known to this com
munity and elsewhere, and to none better than
the editors of the “ Intelligencer,” who have
slightually made these mistakes.
But: “ The other [editor of the Confed
eracy] was a Douglas correspondent of the
Atlanta Southern , Confederacy ” last year.
This is true ; but we do not understand why
that should be an objection to that /* other
editor” in the estimation of the “ Intelligent
cer,” while that Journal advocates for high
offices those who are far more obnoxious to
the charge of Douglasism than the aforesaid
“other editor.” In that same Wednesday’s
issue, the “Intelligencer” has flying at its
mast head the name of Alexander H. Stephens
for Vice President, and an editorial article
strongly recommending him for that high po
sition ; and its Thursday’s issue has an article
recemmcnding Col. Calhoun for Congress.—
Consistency is a bright—a precious jewel, but
that gem does not seem to adorn the “ Intel
ligencer's” crown of glory.
And while on the subject of consistency,
we will simply remark that the Intelligencer,
perhaps two months ago, made serious com
plaint against Mr. Stephens for being vacilla*
ting, unreliable, and in favor of reorganiza
tion. Now this same Intelligencer urges him
for Vice-President ! What a charge I
We have honestly, buried all our past party
predelict ions, and resolved to ignore them in
tie future, for the good of the country; hence,
we have carefully avoided a reference to the
position of ourselves or any one else during
the canvass of last year, or at any previous
time. The Intelligencer pretends to be on this
platform, and is advocating the election of a
Governor by ignoring Conventions and all for
mer party machinery. Yet it never fails,
when speaking of our paper—to refer to our
“antecedents”—thereby endeavoring to stir
up the smouldering embers of past party
strife, rancor, and bitterness, as though it
desired to revive the identical parties and par
ty issues that brought upon us all the trou
bles in which we now find ourselves involved.
We think this is another inconsistency.
Fo? our position or record before the seces
sion of the State of Georgia, we have do word
either of defense or apology to make—have no
attacks to make on one, and no vindication to
make of another, on that score. These, issues
with us, are past and forgotten—dead and bu
ried in the graves of oblivion, from which we
earnestly hope there will be no resurrection.
They shall sleep forever, if we can have our
preferences. Hence we have scrupulously
avoided discussing any subject in our paper
justly calculated to revive such thoughts—
much less giving them expression ; and we
never shall, unless the indiscretions and
transgressions of others force us to do so.
From Pensacola.
Hyht expected—Sentenced to be shot.
The correspondent of the Columbus (Ga.)
“Sun” writes from Pensacola :
There are whispers of a fight here soon.
But it is hard to get the truth of it. One
thing is certain : litters are being made here
by order of the Quartermaster, and knowing
ones say that troops are expected. Other
mysterious transactions add to the foundation
for these whispers.
The Court martial which has been sitting
at Barrancas for the past several days, has at
last finished its labours. Among the cases be
fore the Court were one for murder at Fort
Mcßae, on the day when Gon. Bragg gave lib
erty to the soldier*, in honour of the battle of
Manassas, and two for sleeping on their posts.
Ota of the latter, a young man named Bcbin
aon, belonging to the 10th Mississippi Regi
ment I am sorry to hear, an editor) will
be shot at Warrenton, in view of the forces,
on Friday the Sikh instant. The other sol
dier, from the fact of his extreme youth and
iaexperienee, has been eeateooed to punish
ment for 3*xly days and then drummed out of
camp.
This looks hard, bat it can’t be avoided.—
Whiskey is believed to be the foundation.
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.
Tribute to Anderson M. Orr.
Mr. Editor: With your permission, I desire
to place on record a few facts in the history of
my late lamented brother. As has already
been announced in public prints, he belongs
to the number of those who laid down their
lives in defence of our common liberties at the
battle of Manassas Plains. This fact, in it
self, will justify me in again bringing his
name before the public, for, if I mistake not,
the day is far distant when Southerners will
cease to feel an interest in anything that re
lates to the humblest of the honored men who
fell on that ever-memorable day. There are
other reasons, however, that make it proper
that this sketch should be given. He had a
wide circle of friends and acquaintances scat
tered throughout the State who would be in
terested in hearing the particulars of his fall,
and who would never hear them unless given
in this public manner. And, furthermore, he
possessed many virtues worthy to be embalm
ed in the memory of surviving friends, and
which ought to be held up to others as deserv
ing of imitation.
Anderson M. Orr was born on the 11th day
of February, 1829, in Jackson county, Georgia,
where our honored father still resides. His
childhood and youth were passed in the bos
om of a happy, peaceful family, and amid ru
ral scenes which were in striking contrast with
those which witnessed his end. He early man
ifested a desire for intellectual improvement,
and sought, by reading and study, to store his
mind, and discipline its powers. He com
menced his preparation for college, under the
tuition of the writer, in the year 1847, and af
terwards spent some months at the school of
Mr. Scudder, of Athens. In this school, he
succeeded in winning the esteem and confi
dence of his teacher, in a high degree, and, I
have been told, was often afterwards referred
to as a standard of obedience, diligence, and
faithfulness as a student. In the meantime,
the writer was called to the Professorship
which he now fills in Emory College, and again
became the preceptor of his brother, who en
tered the institution as a student. Here the
same traits which he had exhibited as a school
boy continued to characterize him in this high
er stage of educational advancement. He was
always respectful to his preceptors—always at
the post of duty—always prepared upon the
task assigned him, and, as might have been ex
pected, his firm native powers, thus controlled
and directed, won for him the highest honors
of the institution, upon his graduation. I was
his instructor near six years, and I never had
occasion to speak harshly to him, or rebuke
him. The gentlemen associated with me here,
and his other instructors, would, no doubt,
bear like testimony to his exalted worth.—
On leaving college, he spent a year or two in
teaching, and then entered the office of Messrs.
Overby A Bleckley, of Atlanta, as a student.
Here he spent two or three years, dividing his
time between the prosecution of his studies
and the copying and preparing of the legal
papers of his instructors. To his proficiency
in his 'legal studies, his preceptors bore the
highest testimony, one of them remarking to
the writer, on one occasion;’** He is now a fine
lawyer, and can get up the papers, and bring
a case into court as correctly as I can do it
myself.” He never, however, entered upon
the practice. Averse to those strifes in which
the passions of men are brought into play, he
sought employment in the equally honorable
and useful, and, perhaps, more congenial pur
suit of teaching. The present war found him
in this employment. Keenly alive, from the
beginning of the agitation, to the wrongs we
had suflered, he felt that, should war ensue, it
would be his duty to takes partin the conflict,
and, with this conviction on his mind, he en
tered the Bth regiment, which was the first,
from our State, to tender its services for the
war. Os the motives with which he entered
the service, and the character which he bore
in maturer life, I will permit another to speak.
A dear friend of his, a gentleman of strong
intellect and nice powers of discrimination, in
a letter written to my father, on hearing of
his fall, thus speaks of him : “I have not yet
heard the particulars of his fall; but sure I
am that he met the enemy like a brave man,
and died like a true soldier. He entered the
service, not from the excitement of the hour,
nor the desire of novelty, nor from motives of
ambition, but under a deep, deliberate sense of
duty. He often told me that he had a strong
distaste to war, and that nothing eould induce
him to engage in it, but a conviction that his
country needed his help. His heart was full
of humanity and the love of peace. I know
not whether it would mitigate your sorrows for
me to speak of his virtues, but as I knew him
during his latter years more intimately than
did any other person, I feel that, perhaps, no
other could do as complete justice to his mem
ory. His clear, solid intellect, his generous im
pulses, his gentlemanly bearing, and obliging
temper, were manifest to all who enjoyed his
acquaintance. But there was one element of
his character which I had superior opportuni
ties of testing: I mean his reliability. He was
the most reliable man I ever knew. At all
times, and under all circumstances, you might
depend upon him with complete assurance.—
When he was expected to do a thing, he was
sure to perform it. Pleasure, indolence, for
getfulness never came in the way —nothing
could betray him into wilfull omission or neg
ligent failure. In word and deed he was al
ways true, always faithful, both in small mat
ters and great.
“ Another trait which equally distinguished
him, was absence of selfishness. If ever a
man lived who csuld perform a disinterested
action, he surely was the man. His hand was
never shut against the needy, when he had
anything to give. He was the friend of the
humble, and delighted to elevate their hopes
and encourage their exertions. Even the ne
groes of the town learned to expect a kind and
cheerful word from him in passing him on the
street.
“His moral constitution had no blemish.—
His principles were firm as a rock, and his
practice seemed never to desert them under
any sort of temptation. I believe he passed
through the world without taking on many of
its spots. The vices which so often destroy
young men in towns and cities, could not bring
him under their dominion. For religion and
its Divine Author, he entertained a profound
reverence, and he often told me that, by pray
er and meditation, he sought reconciliation
with God. From the frequency and earnest-
ness of his conversations on this subject, I
knew that he was not careless about his eter
nal welfare, but whether he at last gained a
hope I do not know. God grant that such may
have been his happy lot. I cannot think that
the blessed Father of us all would suffer so
good and pure a spirit to be excluded from His
mansions of everlasting rest.
But one thing remains which I think it pro
per to allude to in this letter, and that is An
derson’s tender, holy love for his mother. So
long as I knew him, he rarely mentioned her
name without adding some words of praise
and affection. He was indeed a devoted son.
In speaking of his intention of going into ser
vice, he seemed sometimes almost to hesitate,
on account of the blow that it would be to
her. For himself, he appeared to take little
thought, but his concern for her was deep and
anxious.
I can add but little to this just and truthful
exhibition of his character. I may remark,
however, that my brother was an occasional
contributor to the press, furnishing now and
then articles both in prose and poetry, of high
merit, but always with characteristic modes
ty, over an assumed signature. His taste was
fine and his scholarly attainments excellent,
and as an epistolary writer, I think I can say
truthfully, and uninfluenced by the deep love
which I bore him, that I have never known
his equal.
My brother never made a public profession
of religion, but, as stated in the above extract,
he was by no means indifferent on that sub
ject. He had been in the habit of praying
more or less regularly, within the knowledge
of the writer, and I am in possession of con
clusive evidence that lie kept up this habit in
camps. He had a presentiment that he would
fall in the first battle, and gave particular in
structions to his intimate friends as to how he
wished to be buried. From the tenor of a let
ter written by him to the writer, ten days be
fore the battle, it is evident that he had coolly
weighed the chances of war, and han obtained
his own consent to lay down his life, should
it be so ordered by an overruling Providence.
Superadded to all these proofs as to the direc
tion in which his thoughts were turned, the
most precious one remains. In the thickest
of the fight, when the bullets of the enemy
were pouring around them in a storm, pass
ing his brother, Dr. Geo. 8. Orr, who was also
in the battle, he said to him, “ George, trust in
God. I trust in Him, and I believe that He
will do all things well ” These words, uttered
at such a time, and the circumstances of his
history which preceded them, give his friends
strong ground, as we think, to hope that he
did trust and trust savingly.
Notwithstanding the presentiment mention
ed, he gave not the slightest evidence of men
tal depression, and is reported to have acted
throughout the battle with the greatest cool
ness and the most determined bravery. He
fell late in the engagement, as his regiment
was retiring from the position they had occu
pied earlier in the day, and near the place
where they made their final stand. He had
just fired his piece and was in the act of re
loading, with his face to the foe, when he re
ceived the fatal shot. The ball entered his
throat and lodged below the base of the brain,
cutting both the carotid artery and the jugu
lar vein His brother was by his side in an
instant, and, leaning over him, grasped bis
hand. He was too far gone to speak, but re
turned the pressure of his brother’s hand, and
gave him a look of recognition. Thus perish
ed as noble a heart as ever beat. Many tears
have fallen, and many hearts have been
wrung, but none have been called upon to
mourn the loss of a truer, braver spirit.

Stampkdb Among tub Printers at Nash
ville. —The Nashville Gazette of the 21st
says :
We understand that a number of Northern
printers engaged at the Methodist Publishing
House, threw up their situations yesterday,
and leave to day for the other side of Mason
& Dixon’s line. The proclamation of Presi
dent Davis has shown them up in their true
light. Since its publication they have been
seen in groups upon our street corners, evi
dently consulting in regard to sudden move
ments. They have been holding good situs-*
lions for several years past, contributing, no
doubt, lately a portion of their wages to as
sist in subjugating the people whe have fed
them, acting too, probably, as spies in our
midst, communicating such intelligence as has
recently been seen in the northern papers un
der the head of “ Nashville Correspondence.”
Let us feel thankful that the proper means have
been adopted to rid the cities of the South of
such vampires.

The Panic at Bull Run.—The Galway
(Ireland) Vindicator, in commenting en the
battle at Bull Run, thus explains the cause of
the panic:
“ But, strange to say, it would appear a
cavalry company of “ niggers"—volunteers fight
ing for the perpetuation of their own slavery—
occasioned the panic among the Northern ar
my.”
The Vindicator has evidently read something
about the Black Horse Cavalry, and supposed
them to be “ niggers.”
Sheep.—Look to your sheep. If infested
with ticks, apply New England rum ; it is the ■
best use to which rum can be applied; it does j
good service. No tick can stand it. Give the I
lambs a treat also. A lamb infested with ;
ticks will “pine away” and become poor, no
matter hew well he may be cared for in other
respects.

Presentment of the New York Dally
News.
A few days since the telegraph announced
that the New York Daily News had been pre
seated by the grand jury of the United States
Circuit court. The editor, to show that he is
not to be intimated, thus boldly and clearly
sums up his offences, and declares his willing
ness to meet the issue :
Strenuously, consistently and unswerving
ly, the Daily News has maintained, since the
bombardment of Fort Sumter—an event for
which the administration of President Lincoln
is wholly and solely responsible—
1. That the civil war in which the country
is involved is iniquitous, uncalled for and de
structive of the prosperity of the republic,
and that it has grown out of a wicked and de
magogical catering to abolition fanaticism on
the part of the authorities at Washington,
which cannot be too severely reprobated.
2. That every drop of blood that has been
shed in the present contest has been a calam.
ity, and that every life that has been lost has
been a murder, which might have been avoid
ed, had patriotism and moderation prevailed in
Federal councils.
3. That the increase of our army ; the ex
penditure of money without permission of
Congress; the blockade of Southern ports;
the proclamation of martial law ; the sus
pension of the writ of habeas corpus; the
invasion of sovereign States without sum
mons from their executive or legislatures ; the
overthrow of the authority of local courts;
and the abrogation of our military and naval
laws, have been utterly unconstitutional acts,
committed in defiance and violation of the
oath of office of our chief magistrate of the
land, and for which be ought to be impeached
and deposed.
4. That it would be far better to permit the
discontented portion of the United States to
depart in peace, and more in conformity with
the views and intentions of the original fra
mers of the Constitution to suffer the repub
lic to be divided into two Confederacies,
than to array the different sections against
each other in internecine strife, and to blast
the future prosperity of the whole Union, by
an expensive, unprofitable, and bloody war,
which must inevitably end in leaving section
al issues as unsettled as they were before it
began.
5. That the grievances of which the South
ern States have complained have been, main
ly, well founded, and that the compromise
plans suggested by Senators Crittenden and
Bigler in the thirty-sixth Congress, and by
other conservative representstives of the peo
ple in the extra session of the present Con
gress, ought to have been adopted.
6. That the acknowledgment by the Feder
al government of the right of slave owners to
convey and hold their property in the com
mon Territories, would h«.ve been pre-emi
nently just, and that the Confederate States
will do wisely to insist upon a Constitutional
right so self evident, at all times and under
all circumstances.
7. That civil war is to be avoided, and that
amity between the several States is to be cul
tivated.
8. That the pecuniary profligacy of the ad
ministration of President Lincoln is utterly
condemnable, and that the system of whole
sale speculation and plunder which has char
acterized the different branches of the Gov
ernment, since the fourth of March, has no
parallel in the history of our country.
9. That we are firmly and earnestly con
vinced that the masses of the people are hos
tile to the President, hostile to his Cabinet,
hostile to the usurpation of the last six
months, and believe they must, if continued,
end in anarchy or a military despotism.
These have been the constantly reiterated
views of the Daily News for several months
past, and if they render our paper worthy of
indictment, we have only to say that we covet
no better fate.
Vandalism.
The Winchester Republican, of the 23d Au
gust, says :
The valuable Flouring and Cement Mills,
belonging to the Hon. A. R. Boteler, situated
on the banks of the Potomac, were burnt to
the ground Sunday night last by the same
gang of thieves who stole him from his bed a
few nights before. They were doubtless enra
ged at his release, and adopted this method of
venting their spleen. How long are we to be
troubled with these miserable scoundrels? Is
it not time that their worthless carcases were
given as prey to the vultures of the air ?
The loss to Mr. 8., we regret to learn, will be
heavy, and together with losses sustained by
him a few years since, will we fear very
much cripple his resources.

The Virtues of Borax.—The washer wo
men of Holland and Belgium, so proverbially
clean, and who get up their linen so beautiful
ly white, use refined borax as washing pow
der, instead of soda, in the proportion of a
large handful of borax powder to about ten
gallons of boiling water ; they save in
soap hearly half. All the large washing
establishments adopt the same mode. For
laces, cambrics, etc., an extra quantity of the
powder is used, and for crinolines, (required
to be made stiff,) a strong solution is necessa
ry. Borax being a neutral salt, does not in the
slightest degree injure the texture of the lin
en ; its effect is to soften the hardest water,
and therefore it should be kept on every toilet
table. To the taste it is rather sweet, is used
for cleaning the hair, is an excellent denti
fice, and in hot countries is used in combina
tion with tartaric acid and bicarbonate of so
da as a cooling beverage. Good tea cannot
be made with hard water; all water may be
made soft by adding a teaspoonfui of bo
rax powder to an ordinary sized kettle of wa
ter, in which it should boil. The saving in (fie
quantity of tea used will be at least one-fifth.
Gamblers in the Army —A correspondent
of the Columbus Times states that the Confed
erate army in Virginia was infested by a
great number of faro dealers and profession
al gamblers, many of whom bad “joined the
army as privates for the purpose of swindling
the poor soldier out of his earned pittance of
sll per month.” It is hoped that the super
ior officers will punish with severity, and cut
ths wings of all such “ carion crows,” who
ars a stench in the nostrils of honest men.
Arkansas.—The Little Rock State Gazette
says that Arkansas has within her limits lead
| ore enough to supply the whole world with
j bullets, saltpetre enough to supply them with
• powder, and several salt springs capable of
j producing a great quantity of salt.
