ATLANTA, GEORGIA:
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1861.
A Good Move.
In most of the States, the Conventions which
assembled last winter and passed the Secession
Ordinances, have finally proven themselves to
be a dread incubus upon the body politic,
which no effort, thus far, has been able to shake
off.
These Conventions were called for a specific
purpose—to consider and act upon our federal
relations. That done, they should have ad
journed sine die. Instead of doing so, howev
er, they are still in existence, in some of the
States—subject to the call of their Presidents
—waiting for “ something to turn up” that will
afford them a pretext to come together again.
The Convention of our own State, which met
in January, should have passed the Ordinance
of Secession, and whatever ordinances were of
immediate pressing necessity to pass for the
adaptation of ourselves to our altered rela
tions. It should then have adjourned, and left
all other matters to our General Assembly.
Instead of that, however, it went on to leg
islate upon matters entirely foreign to the sub
ject which it was created to consider and dis
pose of. It held a long session acting on meas
ures which it bad no right upon the face of
the earth to even consider. It held an adjourn
ed session, at which it took upon itself a system
of general State legislation, and assumed al
most the entire duties and responsibilities of
the General Assembly, and even went far
beyond the powers of the Legislature on sub
jects it was not called to consider—continuing
the session long enough to make their per diem
and mileage amount to a good round sum.
In the State of North Carolina, the Legisla
ture is now in session. The Convention which
passed the Ordinance of Secession stands ad
journed to the 15th November. A bill has been
introduced, and has passed the lower House,
looking to a termination of the existence of
the Convention. It provides for taking the
sense of the people on the subject on the day
of electing members of Congress. They are to
indorse on their tickets, “Convention” or “No
Convention,” as they may be inclined. We
hope the Senate will pass the bill, and we feel
well assured the people will strike down the
usurpation if they can get a lick at it.
Tennessee has fared better than all the oth
er seceded States. Iler Legislature passed the
act and submitted it to the people, and was
not cursed with an irresponsible Convention
to perpetuate all manner of usurpations, in
addition to the discharge of its duty.
Hereafter, if a Convention should ever be
called by our Legislature, we hope its duties
will be distinctly defined ; and its privileges
so circumscribed that usurpation or action up
on a subject not legitimately before it, cannot
occur; and we further trust that the length
of time beyond which it should not sit will be
distinctly specified. Such restrictions as these
are placed upon Congress and our State Legis
latures in our national and State Constitutions,
and wisely so. We can’t see why a Conven
tion, called for a specific purpose, should not
have similar restrictions.
Two legislative bodies, claiming and exer
cising plenary powers, distinct and indepen
dent of each other, and existing at the same
time in one Government, should not be per
mitted. The General Assembly alone is our
proper law-making power; and no other should
be tolerated in a nation of freemen who are
jealous of their rights; who wish topreserve
their liberties and hard them down as an in
estimable blessing to posterity—save only un
der the most extraordinary circumstances ; and
then, with such restrictions and safeguards
thrown around them as will render usurpation
an utter impossibility. These extraordinary
assemblages, called upon extraordinary occa
sions, should be watched with sleepless vigi
lance, and bo so hedged in that their legitimate
powers could not be transcended.
The Coast.
We have received, from Geo. 11. Daniel, a
patriotic call upon the citizens of this city
and county, in which he proposes to organize
a Company for the defence of the coast. We
would take pleasure in laying it before our
readers, but it is of considerable length, while
space with us is most precious, and we are ful
ly convinced that all our people are fully alive
to the importace of this matter and need no
appeals to thoir patriotism. Mr. Daniel can
bo found al his place of business on Whitehall
street. We hope he will meet with abundant
success in raising a company at once. In or
der to do so we think nothing more is neces
sary than to let it be known that he is mak
ing up a Company.
Col. Jones of the Ith Alabama.
Our readers all recollect the distinguished
gallantry and efficient services of the 4th Al
abama regiment and its brave Colonel at the
battle of Manassas.
We regret to state that we have a private
letter from a reliable source, dated at Orange
Court House Virginia, August 31st, stating
that Colonel Jones was at that place, very
low, and but little hopes of his recovery.
Typos ! Attention ! 1
A number of the Typos of the city of Bav
annab, desirious of organizing a Company of
eighty men, composed entirely of Printers,
would respectfully ask the co-operation of
their brethren of the craft throughout the
Confederate States. It is proposed that the
company’s service be tendered to President
Davis— to serve for the war—and in whatev
ever location His Excellency may think pro
per to assign them.

Headquarters Artillery Battalion, )
Georgia Volunteers, Camp Davis. L
Lynchburg, Aug. 28, 1861.)
Pear Confederacy: My attention was called
to-day to the following paragraph in the At
lanta “ Commonwealth” of the 2d inst
“ The volunteers which have been under in
struction at Camp McDonald, have been dis
banded as a Brigade, and the two Regiments
of Infantry under Cols. W. T. Wofford°and W.
W. Boyd, have been tendered to and accepted
by President Davis. The five companies of
Riflemen, four of Artillery, and four of Caval
ry have been converted into a Legion, and
and Gen. W. Phillips (who resigned as Briga
dier General) was elected Colonel: and Sea
born Jones Lieutenant-Colonel. The Legion
has also been tendered to and accepted by
President Davis.”
?’As the statement is not true, and published
without authority, I shall make it my busi
ness to give you a reliable statement.
Human nature is “ human nature” the world
over, and we don’t want to be “ crowded” en
tirely out without our consent, because we are
away up here in these cold mountains; al
though those who “fixed it up” might desire
to benefit our condition.
The same day and identical same hour that
Gov. Brown ordered the Regiments of Infant
ry away, he also ordered to the same place
the three Battalions ; therefore the entire Bri
gade received orders at the same time. Sub
sequently, the Rifle Battalion, commanded by
Lieutenant-Colonel Seaborn Jones, Jr., and
the Cavalry, commanded by Maj. Wilcoxon,
merged into a Legion, and elected our late
and excellent Gen. Phillips their Colonel ; and
to show other evidences of good judgment,
Lieut.-Col. Jones and Maj. Wil
coxon. They are all fine officers and popular
ones, so far as my observation extends; and
that they are gentlemen of the very firit or
der, is well known to all.
The Battalion of Artillery, composed of four
companies of Infantry and one of Artillery,
commanded by Col. Stovall, had nothing to do
or say with the above formation, and conse
quently is not one of the organization.
Gov. Brown, while we were al Camp Mc-
Donald, promised Col. Stovall to increase his
Battalion to a Regiment, and since our arrival
here, the Secretary of War, appreciating the
military capacity of Col. Stovall, has author
ized him to make the increase, giving him the
command of the Regiment. This is certainly
worthy of remark, and shows conclusively
that Col. M. A. Stovall is recognized by the
War Department as being justly entitled, by
his superior military education and bearing,
to command a Regiment of Georgia Volun
teers. If Gov. Brown does so, he will only be
giving our gallant and worthy Colonel what
we all think he is justly entitled to, and at
the same time placing the Regiment where it
will be amply able to do our country good and
efficient service. If the Governor, however,
should not do so, for the want of arms or
other cause, this Georgia Battalion may lose
its identity. This would be a matter of no
great calamity to our country; but to us who
are proud of our native State, and prefer to
stand side by side as brothers iu the hour of
battle, it would be a matter of regret Geor
gia has cause to be proud of her sons. Those
who have been tried have shown themselves
worthy of the name, and those who are yet to
pass the ordeal will be just as true. Although
the troops from Comp McDonald have had
various unjust indignities cast upon them, and
Gov. Brown been abused because he kept his
“pet lambs” at the camp so long when the
country called for assistance, it will be found
that the material of the onee 4th Brigade is
inferior to none who have ever left the State.
It will also be found that the policy adopted
by the Governor in establishing a camp of
instruction was a very wise one, and one that
entitles him to the thanks of every soldier
who was its recipient. We came here armed,
equipped, disciplined, and in a great measure
acclimated to camp complaints, while recruits
that come in fresh are almost sure to get sick.
As to the perfection of drill and discipline
inculcated at Camp McDonald, the citizens
amply testify, by their eagerness to witness
our dress parades and other drills. They say
that the Georgians here now are better drilled
than any troops they have ever seen here;
and this, you know, has been a camp of ren
dezvous for many months. The Commandant
of the post, Major Hugh L. Clay, remarked
that our Battalion made the best appearance
of any he had seen, excepting, perhaps, one
company from New Orleans and one from Mo
bile.
There are troops from Georgia who left for
the seat of war about the time we went to
Camp McDonald, who are neither armed and
equipped, or drilled. Are they prepared to do
as good service as we are. Col. Wofford’s Reg.
ment was ordered on to Richmond, I am told,
by his request. A letter from there to-day in
forms us that about 250 of his men are sick
with measles, mumps and typhoid fever, and
that considerable sickness prevails among the
troops there : but nothing short of a regular
“plague” will thin the ranks of the Southern
army sufficiently to produce a panic. If we
can only keep one to every ten of old Abe’s
Hessians, we may feel secure.
vinip Davis is high and dry—good water
and healthy enough. The Rifle Battalion is
immediately on our left, and a Mississippi
Regiment, Cel. Russell, on our right flank.—
They are a “ bully”-Jooking Regiment, but
as yet are without arms. Col. Boyd’s Regi
ment and the Cavalry Battalion areabout one
half mile off, respectively to our right and left.
’ Col. Bennings Regiment has been in only a
; few days and is near Col. Boyd’s. Here and
■ there upon the green is an Old Dominion eom
| pany. Altogether this is quite a znilitary
! looking ‘’concern.”
The Cherokee Artillery, Capt. Yeiser, have
i been furnished by the War Department with
an order on the Quarter-Master for 48 horses,
..which are being bought up. They will have
! a full battery with what they got from Gov.
j Brown, and bid fair to rank No. I. Their Cap
j tain is a good officer, and has used every en-
deavor to get bis company in good condition.
When complete, their outfit for service will be
3 pieces brass 6 pounders; 1 rifled cannon;
48 horses and harness, and 1 Colt’s new patent
navy to every man. They want a few recruits
—good ones. They won’t any other sort.
The second Company, or Company 8., of
this Battalion, is commanded by Capt. Wilson,
of Spring Place, Murray Co. The Captain is
as clever as can be, and is untiring in his in
struction to the “mountain sprouts’” Some
of those mountain sprouts, you may as well
know, are very fine ones.
Company C., Lewis and Phillips Guards,
M. Kendrick, Captain, from Fulton and Cow
eta Capt. K. is as much of a soldier in spirit
and truth as any “ upon the face of the broad,
green earth,” as Judge Hammond would say.
He looks the embodiment of a caged “tiger,”
and woe to the Lincolnites that he or his com
pany encounters.
Capt. McDowell commands Company D.,
from Barnesville, Ga., called Barnesville Blues.
So, in one sense of the word, we have the blues
all the while. May we ever have the blues,
if they are of their sort. McD. is a quiet gen
tleman, satisfied with what is right, earnest
and indefatigable in his eflorts to make his
company the best in the Battalion ; but right
next door he finds a competitor in Capt.
White, of Company E., from Upson, who is a
Captain indeed. He is said to be a bachelor,
but I don’t believe a word of it. He is too fine
looking and too fond of “bis boys.” His com
pany is a fine one, and he may well feel proud
of them; but if he is a bachelor now, I ven
ture to say he won’t be long, after the war is
over, if he is spared. Seeing so many pretty
women about here has waked the old fellow
up (not so old either.)
Speaking of pretty women: They flock
about the camp in swarms, and are so anxious
to render us some sort of comfort, that it is re
freshing. I tell you, that the Old Dominion
is great on that. They are as hospitable as
they can be. Tom Wright is surrounded by
roses and violets. He can’t move but some
body throws the ugly “ old rascal” a boquet
He lives on boquets all day, and sleeps on
them at night. Poor Tom ! wonder what ex
cuse he ma kes to Mrs. W ; and as to Jesse Gil
bert, he will soon be as fat as Lambert. Ijust
can see the top of his head as he walks off;
and worse than all, his head is shaved and var
nished.
But seriously : anybody coming to this sec
tion expecting to get horses, will be disap
pointed : none here; all been bought up; and
a good many little things we expected to get
here we can’t find. So many regiments been
outfitted here, that there is nothing left except
tobacco and boquets. They abound in abun
dance.
We have no idea when we will be ordered
away; but when that happy hour arrives,
these old bald hills will be made to quake
with the reverberations of “ Ready I”
Yours truly, B. F. JOKES,
Quarter-Master Art. Bat.

DEATH OF JUDGE LAMAR AND MR. REA
TWELVE COMPANIES FROM 8188 GONE TO
THE WAR THE POSTOFFICE AGAIN
I
THE ATLANTA AMATEURS ARREST OF
MR. FREEMAN THE GUBERNATORIAL
QUESTION LOOK TO BRUNSWICK THE
“confederacy.”
Macon, Ga., September 2, 1861.
Messrs. Editors : During the past week, we
have been called upon to bury two of our old
est and most worthy citizens. Judge Henry
G. Lamar breathed his last on Friday night.
He was a man whom all delighted t© know—
noble and generous to * fault. But a few weeks
before his death, he was called upon to mourn
the loss of his son, who fell nobly battliug for
his country’s rights, at Manassas. None of us
thought, then, that he would follow so soon.
Judge Lamar is so well known throughout the
State, that it would be useless to fill up this
letter with any account of his public life.—
Suffice it to say, that, in all his relations, both
as a private citizen and a public servant, he
was faithful. Best of all, he was a Christian,
and died in the triumphs of the Christian
faith. The other citizen alluded to above was
Mr. James Rea, for many years a resident of
Macon, and an extensive cotton factor.
Since the date of my last letter, Bibb coun
ty has sent off two more companies, making, in
all, twelve companies from this county. The
Lochrane Guards left for Virginia, under Cap
tain Jackson Barnes, and the Bibb Grays, for
camp Stephens, near Griffin, under Captain J.
W. Stubbs. We can turn out now, notwith
standing this drain out of a small white pop
ulation, over 700 men in the militia, between
the ages of 18 and 45 years, besides Home
Guards, over and under age.
The Postoffice question is still unsettled, and
Dr. Strohecker, the present incumbent, still
holds his position, although it is currently ru
mored that a change will be made. But, for
one thing, I like Dr. Strohecker very well. He
requires all sums for postage, whether large or
small, to be paid in gold or silver. This diffi
culty will be removed now, however, as I see
by a telegraphic dispatch that Treasury notes
will be received for postage. Why don’t we
get stamps out? Our Postmaster General has
certainly, it seems to me, been verj tardy in
this matter; though, perhaps, there has been
some good reason for delay.
Our people are anticipating a rich treat from
your Amateurs, who are to be with us thia
week. We know Bill Barnes down here, and
feel certain that what he turns his hand to he
will do well. We arc preparing to give them
a full house.
You will observe, by telegrams of to-day,
! that one Richard 8. Freeman was arrested
while on his way to New Hampshire to pur
chase a shoe-pegging machines for Georgia. His
arrest took place on the Ist, and he was depos
ited in the Lincoln Bastile, Fort LaFayette.—
Said Freeman is a citizen of Macon, and is of
the firm of Freeman A English, carriage deal
ers. He took up an idea, a few weeks ago, that,
as shoe-pegs had risen, in this market, almost
one hundred per cent., he could make a
‘ good business by buying a machine, and going
; into the trade. So, he put out for Yankee land,
i and, alas 1 for him, he was suspected, arrested,
and now lies in a prison in New York. Well,
I he ought to have stayed at home, and let the
pegging business alone. If he had some good
maple blocks, he might spend his leisure hours
now in making pegs by hand. Poor fellow,
we hope he won’t peg out before his release.
I see you have not committed the “ Confed
federacy ” for Governor yet. Well, I think the
people of Georgia ought to elect Col. James M.
Chambers, of Muscogee. He is a man in ev
ery way competent for the place, and has not
been connected with any of the past political
parties, so as to make him unpopular with ei
ther. He has been very decided in his views,
but has never mingled much in public life.
Fears are apprehended here that Picayune
Butler will try to take Brunswick, and that he
may succeed before sufficient force can be
thrown there. Brunswick is the only port on
the coast where very large vessels can enter
safely ; and it will be one of the first that our
enemy will desire to seize. We hope our Ex
ecutive will have time to defend us.
Your daily is one of the most spicy papers
in the State. You deserve a good patronage,
and I am glad to know that you have it.
Yours, Ac., JOHANNES.

Fort Hatteras Surrendered to the Fed
erals !
ALMOST OUR ENTIRE FORCES THERE
TAKEN PRISONERS.
A Desperate Resistance by Our Forces.
THE PARTICULARS AS FAR AS WE HAVE THEM.
Fort Hatteras was surrendered to the Fed
eral authorities at about 11 o’clock on yester
day, Thursday.
The Steamer Winslow, which left there soon
after the surrender on yesterday, arrived here
about 10 o’clock last night.
She brought up nine wounded men and one
dead body. From Lieut. Citizen, of Captain
Lamb’s company, who escaped and came up,
we gathered the following particulars :
The Federal steamers, eleven in number,
commenced the bombardment on Wednesday,
and the Forts, Clark and Hatteras, returned
fire. It was kept up till dark but with little
loss on our side. On yesterday morning the
conflict was renewed till about 11 o’clock,
when, after a desperate resistance, our forces
was compelled to surrender, and the whole
garrison are now held as prisoners save a few
who escaped.
Com. Barron, Col. Bradford, Col. Martin,
Lt. Col. Johnson, Major Gilliam, Major An
drews, and all the Captains of the post are
prisoners.
Our entire force at Hatteras, on Wednesday
night, another gentleman informed us, was 853.
Some few escaped, perhaps 50 or more, and
Lt. Citizen thinks not more than GO were kill
ed and wounded. Probably 40 killed and about
20 wounded. He remained in the Fort till
half an hour previous to its surrender, and
from the lucied manner in which his state
ments were made we have great confidence in
them.
The Federal fleet consisted of eleven steam
ers, four of which were large war steamers.
The bombardment is represented by our in
formers as most terrific.
Lt. Knight and Lt. Murdoch were brought
up wounded ; Knight slightly in the arm, and
Murdoch with his arm badly injured. Proba
bly amputation will be necessary. The dead
body of a Mr. Tindell, we belieze, from Le
noir was brought up.
The news is sad and we can give no more
this morning. We will gire particulars here
after as they reach us.
Lt. Citizen says our men fought bravejy un
til they were compelled to surrender, and the
deteat to our arms is only to be attributed to
the superiority of the fleet over our batteries.
The ammunition gave out at Fort Clark on
Wednesday and the guns were spiked and
abandoned, but Fort Hatteras returned the fire
of the Federals till 11 or after yesterday.
Men of Eastern Carolina arouse 1 We have
warned you heretofore but many of you hee
ded not. Now your property, your homes and
ytfur families are in danger ! Come to arms
and drive the invaders from your soil. A lit
tle preparation might have saved this disaster,
but now it is too late and we must make the
most of it.
Let the military be called out to aid the
regular forces and if the Hessians dare ad
vance let us make them rue it. We can, we
must.
To arms ! To arms ?
A Tiger Killed in Prince Williams Par
ish by a Negro.
We are indebted to Mr. Jas. E. DeLoach for
the following interesting statement:
“ I write to chronicle a fact that I suppose
no one would have ever believed likely to oc
cur again in South Carolina. Ou Tuesday
morning, the 13lh instant, by the dawn of
day, Henry, a servant of Mr. Jesse M. Mix
son, (who is now in the service at Braddock’s
Point) and Toney, a lad of 10 or 12 years old,
started out a “ coon hunting,” and in going
to the field they passed a small pond about
150 yards from the negro quarters. Their
dog. Buck, passed through the pond, when
they saw some huge animal runout, and thier
faithful dog in full cry pursuing. They sup
posed it a deer, but in a few minutes they
heard Buck “ baying” at the top of his voice
very faithfully. They approached the tree,
and saw on a pine distinctly a huge animal,
growling and wagging its long tail. Henry
sent home immediately for the gun, and when
it came made a capital shot, aiming at the
bead, and bringidg the tiger to the ground.—
Mrs. Mixson sent round and summoned the
neighbors to come and see the animal. I
availed myself of the opportunity, with oth
ers, and found it to be G feet and 10 inches
long; 2 feet 5 inches high; 15 inches deep
across the breast; 7 inches wide across the
face, just above the eyes; and 12 inches around
the fore leg, above the first joint. The bead
and legs of this monster seemed to be much
larger in proportion than the body.”—Char
leston Mercury,
A Questioxble Speculation.—According
to the Savannah “Republican,” the Atlanta
“ Intelligencer” has recently set forth in the
light of achievement, the fact that 200 tons of
saltpetre, and 125 barrels sulpher, bought by
the Governor out of the'appropriation of one
million dollars for the defence of the State*
has been re-sold to the Confederate States at
a net advance of fifty per cent, on cost. If
this be so, we join with the “ Republican” in
the hope that the excess over cost and expen
ses may be promptly refunded. The State
should not desire to make money out of the
materials of the common defence, and it would
be a blot upon her escutcheon, while Alabama
and Louisiana were generously tendering their
millions to the Confederate Government as a
gift, Georgia was making a speculation at her
expense, by vending munitions of war at a
third more than cost. We regret to to know
that such an operation has taken plaee.—Ma
