S'Oiitlicrn (Cunfcdcnui’ GEO. W. ADAIR J- HENLY SMITH, EDITORS ASD PEOPRIETOBS. ATLANTA, GEORGIA: FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 1861. ■ ——' —" ' 1 ' ’ < Gen. Foster. t We take pleasure in laying before our read- 1 ers the card of Gen. Foster, exculpating his * own and the Executive Departments of this State from a forced construction which it ] seems has been put upon the letter of our cor- i respondent, “ More Anon,” in our issue of the 4th inst., by some persons. We are very sure that our correspondent did not intend to cast any censure, either on Gov. Brown or Gen. Foster. That was not his object. He is a most eminent physician and surgeou in our army, who is looking solely after the health and best interests of our brave men. In this capacity, and not in a censorious one, he complains of what he sees, and conceives it could be bet tered. This is as he should do. As a faithful and honest man, he could do no less. We are well satisfied that Gov. Brown and Gen. Foster have done the best that was possi ble for our soldiers. That the tents are the wrong size and shape, or made of bad materi al, is no fault of theirs. They have been made of the best material to be found, and exactly according to the established pattern. If an other pattern is found better, and our Govern ment will adopt it, it is useless to say that Gov. Brown and Gen. Foster would conform to it. We further believe that our troops are, upon the whole, better equipped than any in the field, as Gen. Foster alleges. If we had conceived the article of our cor respondent to be an attack on our State Ad ministration, it could not have found its way into our columns ; for on the point under con sideration, we believe the Administration has done its duty faithfully. Having said so much, it may be proper to “define our position” again. We therefore hope no one will construe these remarks into a committal of our paper to the support of Gov. Brown in the coming campaign. We are acting upon an honest principle of commend ing whatever we think worthy of commenda tion and censuring whatever we think de serves it. If we should advocate the claims of any man for Governor, or other office, we will not be so blind and subservient as to hide his faults, if he have any that should ba ex posed, neither will we fail to record and com mend any good and worthy action of the man whom we may oppose. Our aim is to publish a newspaper that will be independent and controlled by honest principles. Card from Gen. Fostc.j “The hygiene of the regiment is my daily study; for upon this depends in a great mea- < sure, the efficiency of the men. Yet, all this can effect but little, so long as they are forced to sleep in their miserable wedges of tents furnished us by the Governor before leaving Georgia. They are low, narrow, pinned tight ly to the ground, without Hies, and made of ordinary osnabnrgs. Under such bolting cloths who can expect to keep dry ? The heavy dews we are now having penetrate them like a seive; indeed, moisture seems to have been woven in their very texture—in a word, they are unfit to shelter half a dozen ordinary cab bages from an October frost. Straw, ditching, daily airing, everything devised and furnished cannot improve them, and so long as men are forced to burrow in such kennels, disease and death will be constantly with us.” Messrs. Editors : The above is an extract from the letter of your correspondent “More Anon,” in your issue of the 4th inst. I am sure the statement would not have been made if the writer had been properly informed. In the first place, the Governor of Georgia has nothing whatever to do with the tents furnish ed to our volunteers—it is a duty devolving entirely upon the Q. M. General of the State. 1 The Governor cannot legitimately make con tracts for, or prescribe the style or quality of, our tents. In the next place, your correspond ent is mistakeu about the tents being made of osnaburgs. All our privates’ tents have been made of the best duck that could be had, and according to army regulations. The duck has been so hard to obtain, that I have been forced to make some of the officers' tents of osna burgs, and give them duck flies for covering. ’Tis true, they are not such as I desired, nor as good as our volunteers deserve; but they are such in height, width and in all other re. spects, as has for years been furnished to the United States Army. No one feels more keen ly than I do the hardships and exposures of our volunteers, and no oue is more determined to do all in his power to alleviate their suffer ings. I write this because the extract is liable to misconstruction, and has been construed by some into an attack on Gov. Brown, which I have no idea your correspondent intended.— His letter exhibits an evident anxiety for the welfare ot the men of his regiment, and a lau dable desire to correct abuses. No one, I think, would more readily do justice to Gov ernor Brown than your worthy correspondent, and it is for this reason that I undertake to correct the erroneous impression made on some minds. When this war was forced upon us last Spring, from our long established and exclusive pur suits of tho arts of peace, we were almost des titute vs everything required for the comfort able equipment of an army. No one can im agine the immense difficulties with which we had to contend. But lam happy to say that all accounts from Virginia represent our vol unteers as the best equipped and best provi- j ded for of any in the service, notwithstanding tho very large number of regiments we have put into service in so short a time. Let it be remembered that the most peaceful nation on earth has in a few months put into the field one of the largest armies that the world has seen far many centuries, under the most dis- i advantageous circumstances. Yours truly, IRA R FOSTER, Q. \f. General G. A. i-oT' Arning the ladies recently arrested and naw in Lincoln's dungeons at Washing ton. is Miss Mary J. Windle, a lady of culti vated literary tastes, and a well known con tributor to the newspaper and periodical lit erature. SOUTHERN CONFEDE RAC Y Our Special Seventh Regiment Corres pondence. THE WEATHER —SICKNESS—CHEERFUL STILL —BEEF VS. PORK—COST OF PEACHES AND MELONS —COOKING —GEN’RAL TOOMBS AND VICE-PRESIDENT STEPHENS —NEWSPAPERS WANTED, AC., AC. Camp Bartow, August 31, 1861. Dear Confederacy : The weather, that theme of such moment to bashful beaux and blushing belles, and oft of no littlejinterest to the anxious farmer, is a subject of prime consideration with the Southern soldiery. For three weeks it has been raining almost incessantly. The light lime soil upon which we are encamped very soon becomes muddy. Hence, it may be easily imagined that it has been some time since we have been able to “ kick up a dust.” For some time we were expecting to move daily ; there fore, we took but little pains to guard against mud. But we have recently ditched out our entire encampment and cleaned up generally. Things now wear a dryer, healthier aspect.— The sickness in our regiment has been truly fearful. Though we number near one thousand men, we could only produce about three hun dred on dress parade, and about one hundred of that number were unfit for active duty.— This made it rather hard on the few well ones ; for they had to stand guard very often, in the rain at that. But our noble, brave boys, wor thy the soil that gave them birth, do all things cheerily. Notwithstanding the continued rain, the health of the regiment is improving. The most of our sick have been taken away from camp and kindly cared for. The result of this good treatment is evident, for a’most every day they return much improved and in high spir its. There have been very few deaths consid ering the number sick and the scarcity of prop er medicines. Vl e have plenty of good fresh beef to eat, but many would much prefer the flesh of the swine ; for we are by no means Israelites. We have a sutler, but his exhorbitant prices very much curtail his usefulness. With what we can buy, and what our good friends send us, we live very well. We miss, more than anything e’se, the good peaches and melons that grow so abundantly in Georgia. A small melon sells here for $1.25, and ordinary peach es, such as »ve would throw to the pigs, at 25 cents per dozen ; good peaches at five cents a-piece; and it is very difficult to get them at these rates. But with all the rain, hard fare, want of luxuries, aud sickness, the men still keep in fine spirits, and are eager to get achance at the Yankees. If you could hear the jokes they “crack” around the camp-fires and the hearty, merry peals of laughter, you would be almost tempted to envy the soldier his happy lot. Many of our boys are making excellent cooks, and if the young ladies, at home, don’t visit the kitchen more frequently than has been cus tomary of late years, the boys will make them blush when they return and make biscuit for them. We have desert occasionally in the shape of green apple and blackberry pies. Perhaps some of your readers may smile, when I tell them that on last Sunday our first Lieutenant and two privates mounted three young mules, without saddles, and rode over the battle field, six or eight miles distant. But our boys do not stand on trifles. We were rejoiced the other day at the return of Capt. Jenkins, who was wounded in the Bull Run battle. The Captain brought thirty new recruits with him. Hurrah for the brave boys still at home ! We were honored recently with a visit from Gen. Robert Toombs and Vico President Ste phens. Our boys were delighted to get a peep at these two honored sons of Georgia. Capt. S. W. Lee, Company A, has been sick for sometime, but he is now convalescent and will soon be in camp again. There is great uncertainty iu the mails some where near this place, and many of ou l- letters and papers never reach us. We hope this will soon be remedied. We prize a newspaper very much. I would suggest to all persons visiting the camps to remember this and try to procure as many late papers as possible. And those friends who send packages might place many late papers in the spare crevices or wrap them around the articles sent. We prize Georgia pa pers especially. Remember that a paper old at home would be new iu camp. Officers and men, we’re on rising ground, And ever in duty’s path we’ll be found. The Seventh has fought and gained a name, And still will fight to maintain the same. J. B. 11. 7th Reg. Ga. Vols. [Written expressly for the Southern Confederacy.] A Monument to Bartow. A few days since, I noticed, iu the columns of the “Confederacy,” an appeal to the women ofGeorgia, urging them to join in contributing a fund to be expended in the erection of a mon ument to the late gallant Col. Bartow. It is true that the patriotic devotion, the stern purpose, the daring heroism of that la mented officer are worthy of such memorials. Georgia would be untrue to herself, ungrateful to him, could she forget how ho fought and died in her behalf; and, hereafter, it is fitting that our speaking marble, or retentive brass, tho legend of his brief glorious career, and his untimely fate amid the raging conflietof Man assas, should be transmitted to posterity. Yet, the present seems hardly the best time to agitate this matter. We are engaged iu a mighty struggle, the issues whereof no mortal man can see. We hope and believe they will be in victo ry; but, to achieve this, only the most ar dentself sacrifice, the most strenuous exertions, the most liberal patriotism will siffiee. And much that is done for our army in the field must be done by women. Many already de vote their money, energy and time to furnish ing the soldiers with the clothing which they imperatively require in the more Northern cU mate whither they have gone, where all the jigor of a winter, such as they have never be fore known, will, ere long, assail them. Deny them this clothing and they perish, and then who will fight our battles ? We cannot divert anything from this channel to an object, hoW ever good, which can bide its time without in jury. Again, many of our noble defenders are now prostrated by the hand of disease, or the de touring stroke of the sword, languishing, dy ing in the hospitals. There are appliances and comforts which an invalid must have, atten- tion which must be procured for him, or death is the consequence. Throughout the length and breadth of our Stat?, the Hospital Associ ation calls on us for help. And every woman who now has a dollar to spare, feels that the living must receive it. Like those of old, we are doing a great work and cannot come down —cannot pause to erect a monument to the dead. Could Bartow, himself, speak to us, be would bid us, for the present, forbear, would be content with the grateful memory of earn est hearts, flowing cut in deeds of relief and kindness towards his survivors. If any are able to give to this object,, would it not be ap plying their contributions in a better way to form a Bartow fund for the relief of sick and wounded soldiers, to be thus employed until the close of the war. Then, when war's wild blast has blown by, when the morning song of peace rises from the seaboard to the mountains, and the evening breeze echo it along the vales, then we will build a monument to the hero’s memory. We will give freely towards the erection of a shrine which may be a Mecca to every lover of lib erty ; and when the stream of years shall have borne so many generations downward on its bosom, that men looking back to this epoch, shall speak of it “as the olden time,” they shall gaze upon this memorial and remember and reverence the name of Francis S. Bartow. ZIOLA. TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA. Atlanta, September, 4th, 1861. We now have in the service of the Confed erate States twenty-five Regiments and three Battalions, who have gone under State auth ority, aud six or seven Independent or Con federate Regiments, who have gone under di rect tender to, and orders from, the Secreta ry of War, making together about 30,000 gal lant Georgia troops. Over 20,000 of this num ber are now in Virginia. They are our follow-citizens, our neighbors, our friends, our relatives. They are enduring all the hardships and toils of a soldier’s life, in defence of our wives, our children and our common country. Winter will soon be upon us ; and it will be impossible for them to get, especially in Virginia, with the money allow ed them lor that puspose, by the Confed erate Government, such supplies of clothing, shoes and blankets, as are absolutely neces sary, in that severe climate, to their health and comfort. Shall we permit then/to suffer for the necessaries of life, while we have plenty at home? Never! To prevent this 1 propose, at public expense, to purchase for them, such supplies as can be had in Georgia, of such ar tides as are most essential. Sume of our manufacturers are making a good article of plain woolen cloth ; others are making leather and shees. while our ladies, who have acted so noble a part, arc, in different parts of the State, making quan tities of woolen jeans cloth. The soldiers need all we can spare. 1 wish to purchase for them 30,000 pair of good, plaifi, servicea ble shoes: and woolen cloth, including coun tryjeans, enough to make 30,000 suits of clothing : together with all the good blankets that can be found in the market. I therefore invite all manufacturers of shoes or woolen cloth, who can assist in supplying the demand, aud all persons having good blankets for sale, to inform me of the supply which each can furnish, aud at which each article can be afforded. I also request the Clerk of the Superior Court in each county to act as agent, for the purchase of woolen jeans from the ladies, and io inform me at an early day of the price of that article iu his county. It is hoped that the ladies will use every reasonable exertion to make a supply of this very desirable and useful ar ticle, and will furnish, delivered at the offices of the Clerks of the Superior Courts, at rea sonable prices, all they can spare. Prompt action is respectfully solicited. The supplies above mentioned are intended alike for all Georgians in ihe service, where ever they may be, embracing as well (hose who belong to Independent or Confederate Regiments, as those who belong to regularly organized State Regiments. Assistance to be afforded first to those found to be most needy. Copies of this address will be forwarded to the Secretary of War with request that he send them to the Colonels commanding regi ments from Georgia, who are respectfully re quested to report to me at the earliest day possible, such necessities of those under their respective commands as cannot be supplied with the means at their disposal. lam informed that large numbers of sol diers, from this State, are now sick in Virgin ia, far away from their homes aud friends.— They must have prompt attention. A patri otic andj humane association of Georgians at Richmond have taken steps to establish a Georgia Hospital there, for our sick and wouuded. They have informed me of the fact, and appealed to me for assistance, and I have promptly ordered the funds which are necessary to establish the Hospital to be pla at their disposal. They will need supplies of sheets, blankets, coverlets, and such other articles as may be necessary to alleviate the sufferings, and add to the comfort of the sick and wounded. I appeal to the ladies of Geor gia to take from their own household supply, and send enough, at once, to relieve the sick, aud wounded. Let the donations from each locality, be boxed and sent with names of the donors, and the use for which they are con tributed, to Quartermaster General Ira R. Foster, at Atlanta, who will forward them to Virginia at public expense together with any contributions which may be made to the sol diers by their friends. Citizens of Georgia, our cause is the cause of religion and humanity. The struggle in which we are, engagedjs the strugle of a great audafret people, ,to maintain the heriiage of Liberty and Independence, transmitted to us byour Revolutionary fathers of 1776. Ihe effort ot the Lincoln Government is an effort to subjugate us to tyranny and oppres sion. The cause of the Confederate Stales is the cause of every patriotic citizen of the Soudt. We believe God is with us, and pre sides in our councils. Let us try to live near to Him and implore His continued favor. We have at the helm of State, the distinguish ed Statesman and invincible warrior, Jeffer son Davis. By bis side we have Georgia’s own great Statesman, Alexander 11.

They sat and combed their beautiful hair, Their long bright tresses, one by one, As they laughed and talked in the chamber there, After the revel was done Idly they talked of waltz and quadrille; Idly they laughed, like other girls, Who, over the fire when all is still, Comb out their braids and ends. Robes of satin, and Brussel lace, Knots of flowers, and ribbons to - , Scattered about in every place, For the revel is through. And Maud and Madge, in robes of white ; The prettiest night-gowns under the sun ; Stockingless, skipperless, sit in the night, After the revel is done. Sit and comb tbeir beautiful hair, Those wonderful waves of brown and gold, ’Till the fire is out in the chamber there, And the little bare feet are cold. There, out of the gathering winter chill, All out of the bitter St. Agnes weather, While the fire is out and the house is still, Maud and Madge together. Maud and Madge, in their robes of white; Ihe prettiest night gowns under the sun ; Curtained away from the chilly night, After the revel is done. Floating along in a splendid dream, To a golden gittern’s tinkling tune; While a thousand lustres shimmering stream, In a palace’s grand saloon. Flashing of jewels, and flutter of laces ; Tropical odors sweeter than musk ; Men and women with beautiful faces, And eyes of tropical dusk. And one face shining out like a star— One face haunting the dream of each, And one voice sweeter than others are, Breaking into silvery speech. Telling, through lips of bearded bloom, An old story over again, As down the royal bannered room, To a gulden gittern’s strain. Two and two they dreamily walk, While an unseen spirit walks beside; And all unheard in the lover’s talk, He claimeth one for a bride O! Maud and Madge, dream on together, With never a pang of jealous fear I For ere the bitter St. Agnes weather Shall whiten another year; Robed for the bridal, and robed for the tomb, Braided brown hair and golden tress; There’ll be only one of you left, for the bloom Os the bearded lip to press. Only one for the bridal pearls, The robe of satin and Brussel’s lace— Only one to blush through her curls, At the sight of a lover’s face. Oh ! beautiful Madge, in your bridal white, For you the revel has just begun ; But for her who sleeps in your arms to-night, The revel of life is done. But, robed aud crowned with you saintly bliss, Omen of Heaven and bride ot the sun, Oh ! beautiful Maud, you’ll never miss Tbe kiss that another has won. - A Yankee Gal’s Love Letter.

Tbe “ happy family ” at Washington are becoming disaffected, aud are getting up a wrangle among themselves. A Washington correspondent writes: Tbe complications and embarrasemeuts ex perienced by the Federal authorities in Ibis city are almost beyond conception. There is trouble in the Cabinet, trouble in the War De partment, trouble in tbe Navy Department, trouble among the military chiefs, and disaf fection among the volunteers, on both sides of the river. The appointment of Gen. McClel*- lan over the heads of so many older officers, has caused an immense deal of heart burning. McDowell’s friends are indignant at the treat ment which be has experienced, and do not hesitate io speak with the utmost contempt of the brialliant achievments iu Western Virgin ia of the young commander-in-Chief. Are you aware that Gen. Banks aspired to tba post now occupied by McClellan, and that he was warmly pressed upon the administration by quite a number of his especial political friendsand admirers ? It seemsj hardly cred ible, but neverthaless, I believe it is strictly i true. Southern (Miss.) Broad Axe has the following, which is pretty good for Oktib beha : “ Mr. R D. Cooper has laid upon our table an ear of corn which is a pecfect mam- i moth in its proportions. It is twelve inches in length, nine inches in circumference, weighs two and a half pounds and has twelve hundred and sixty grains. It was raised in j this county by Mr. Ben Speed. Who can beat ■ it?

We have received letters rom gentlemen in Tennessee, representing that tbe opportunities for manufacturing ar ticles of necessity in that State are unboun ed. In Virginia we are likewise blessed with endowments of nature, and many of our cit izens have turned their attention to the man ufacture of articles not only of necessity, but of luxury. Let the manufactures extend their limits and facilities, and throw out their branches until every hamlet shall resound with the clack of the water-wbeel or the puff of ihe steam engine.
