fiSgT” Largest City SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1861. Daily and Weekly “Confederacy” for sale at all times, at five cents per copy. 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. 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. KT 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. ST In all cases, subscribers to the Daily “ Confederacy” will be charged at the rate of 50 cehts 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. —— Advertising. The Confederacy has more than three times the circulation of any paper in Georgia, North of Augusta, and. is ful If equal to that of any paper in the State. We do not make this state ment either as a boast, or in order to convey any erroneous impression, we say it candidly —knowing what we say—and because it is true. A Proposition. We want each and every one of our numer ous subscribers to consider him or herself our agent to procure one more subscriber at least —we care not how many more. Let each pro cure and send us one. This will be easily done—will cost each one but little trouble, and be of great benefit to us, in the aggregate. Advertising patronage is almost nominal, and we have no Government or other special patronage to sustain us. Our enterprise is standing on its own merits, and we are spend ing every dollar of our profits to increase the usefulness and interest of our paper. Other papers in Georgia have raised their price and reduced their size to suit the hard times. This wo have not done, and hope we shall not be compelled to do. We are doing the best we can for our readers, and, therefore, we the more confidently appeal to them to assist us by extending the circulation of the “Confed eracy. Let our circulation be doubled. This will greatly enhance our facilities for improv ing our paper. .. —,— —. Red Mark. We shall send each subscriber whose term expires during this month, a back number of our paper with a M and the day on which their subscription expires, marked on the margin, with a red pencil. A prompt remit tance will insure the continuance of the pa per—otherwise the names will be erased from our books. - - - «<♦ - Norice to Volunteers. Editors Confederacy ; I am authorized to or ganize a regiment of infantry, for the war, and have positive assurance, from the proper authorities, that our services will be accepted immediately upon the organization of such regiment. The officers of such companies as wish to unite with us and enter into immediate ser vice, will please tender their service by for warding their muster roll as soon as possi ble. Address (Rev.) T. B.

WESTMORELAND, President. Cano. Yamckv, Assistant Secretary. - • • » —•—- Just Sa. We have received two letters from friends in Decatur, calling our attention to the fact, that a large proportion of Capt. Glenn's com pany—the Stephen's Rides—was from DeKalb instead of Fulton County. This is true, but it did not occur to us, when we were stating the number of companies that had gone from this county, in our issue of the 4th inst Capt. Glenu, and a part of the men compo sing his company are from this city. Our la dies made up their uniforms, and our citizens were quite liberal in their contributions to wards the outfit of this company. These facts made u« feel like the company was from our own county, and hence, we put it down so, without due reflection. We hope our DeKalb County friends will excuse the error. It was not iateatK>ual, fur we have no desire to de prive our neighboring county of any of her laurels, and we here »*y that Dekalb County is entitled to the credit of having furnished a large majority of the men in that company. JMTW T. BranUy, D. D,recently from Philadelphia, will preach in the 2d Baptist Church this morning, and Rev. A T. Spauld ing from the same city, to-night. SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. CHURCH RECORD.

He is one of the most eminent men in Georgia, whose great talents, useful labors, public servi ces and noble qualities of head and heart, have made him one of the most beloved of our pub lic men for many years past. All this would be at once acknowledged by every reader, were we at liberty to mention his name. Read his commu nication and be instructed. The Entertainment, At the Athenseum on Friday night was at tended by a large and appreciative audience. Dr. Goutourier’a Shakespearian readings are magnificent, and then Prof. Reeves’ singing— 0, hunna, hush.' We can’t tell you anything about it. Those who have not attended this entertainment, have missed a feast of reason and a flow of soul, which they will not soon again have an opportunity to enjoy. They go from here to Newnan and La- Grange. W ar Books. See McPherson’s new card. He’s got’em all. You can’t call for a thing, but what its thar.— Mac’s got everything every way, any how.— Call round and look. You never seen the like. Baby-Wakers. Sixteen 22-pounders passed through our city on Friday night. They were from— somewhere, and were going— somewhere else ! The Hes sians will find out where they are about the time they attack the Southern coast. The Waverly Confederates. This “ bully ’’ company of men, Capt. R. M. Powell, from Walker county, Texas, passed through here yesterday morning for Virginia. They were equipped with the spoils taken from the United States army at the capture of Fort Bliss. They marched on foot 270 miles from their “ far west” home, before reaching any means of public conveyance. Let Hessians stand afar off wheu they come about. If not, they’ll be made to lie low. Not So. The rumor, generally current on our streets yesterday, of the death of our excellent friend Lieut Z. A. Rice, of the Fulton Dragoons, we are happy to say is erroneous. Our citizens cannot be too cautious in giving currency to rumors of this character. There is already enough of affliction and grief in the land, without adding thereto additional pangs by the inconsiderate circulation of mere rumors. .—+++ Modest and Liberal. The President of the “ Soldiers’ Relief So ciety," of Atlanta, acknowledges the receipt of an elegant Watch from some unknown do nor. It is to be appropriated to the Hospital Fund. This modest manner of tendering the gift speaks volumes for the noble and Chris tian heart which prompted it to lend a help ing hand to such a holy cause. May the prayers of the sick and afflicted attend the footsteps of this unknown friend. Atlanta, Sept. 7th, 1861. - Au Opportunity for Companies. We are informed that the Regiment camped at Griffin, under orders from the War Depart ment to Hon. J. W. H. Underwood and Col. Henry Cleaveland, needs two full companies to complete its organization; that orders were mailed from the War Department over twen ty days ago, but were fifteen days on the way, during which time several companies engaged to go in that Regiment became impatient at the delay and anxious to be off. Under these circumstances, permission was given them to go in other Regiments that offered a more speedy opportunity to get to the war. Col. Underwood's Regiment will be organ ized as toon as two companies more offer, and will soon be near the dashing ot the guns.— “ First come first served.” - « « «, A Speculation. The Franklin Printing Company had on hand last winter, when secession turned things slightly round, about $35 worth of Elag Type —large, fancy display letters, representing the stars and stripes and the gelloroious I'niem, in all their gay colors. The type was new and had never been used A few days ago the company sold the whole lot for about *4. to make Confederate buttons of Wo congratulate the company on this turn of Fortune's wheel FOR THE “ SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY." Louisville, Sep. 6.—Gov. Magoffin’s mes sage on Federal relations is mostly retrospect ive ; showing neutrality to have been thrice ratified at the ballot box, and that his own course of refusing men to Lincoln, and his ef forts to keep belligerents off Kentucky soil, have met with nearly unanimous approval of Kentuckians. He says : “ And now, addressing myself to the repre sentatives of the people of Kentucky. I pro test, in their name, and in the name of Consti tutional Liberty, and in the presence of Heav en and Earth, against all and every of the President’s usurpations, his unconstitutional and illegal acts; and I protest, furthermore, against the prosecution of a war, professedly, for the object of restoring the Government and the Union—an object utterly impossible of at tainment by such insane means as a war of coercion ; and I protest, moreover, against Ken tucky being made the camping ground, or the pathway for the movement of forces by either belligerent; and I recommend earnestly to the General Assembly the prompt passage of reso lutions, requiring both belligerents to keep off our soil, and to respect, in good faith, the neu trality which the people of Kentucky, with unexampled unanimity, desire to preserve. Richmond, Sept. 6.—“ To the Press of Geor gia : At a meeting of a few Georgians and members of Congress from Georgia, held here a few weeks since, an organization was com menced, for establishing a Georgia hospital in the city of Richmond, and an Executive Com mittee appointed. Their action was taken in ignorance of the extent of the organization and object of the Georgia Relief and Hospital Association. Hon. E. Starnes, of Augusta, who is Chairman of both Committees, and Mr. Hen ry Moore, also of Augusta, having visited this city, and a full consultation with such of the former meeting here as remained in this city, having been had, it has been deemed best, with fall concurrence of the Committee ap pointed here, to dispense with the former or ganization, and to place the whole matter un der the charge of the Georgia State Associa ciation. To relieve all apprehensions on the subject, as Chairman ot the former meeting here, I make this publication, and request all persons desiring to aid in the laudable object, aimed at by both, to make their contributions to the proper officers of the Georgia Relief and Hos pital Association. [Signed] HOWELL COBB, Chairman. I heartily concur in this action. [Signed] T. R. R. COBB, Member of the Congressional Committee for Sick and Wounded. Boston, Sept. 6.—Gen Butler is here, and will address a Union meeting at Fanueil Hall to-night. Syracuse, Sept. 6.—The resolutions of the Convention are very long. They express a love of the Union, are in favor of pushing the war to an honorable peace, and in detes tation of the Republican party. Washington, Sept. 6.—8. G. Gallaher, a Paymaster in the Navy and a native of Va. has been arrested. The government is endeavoring to make contracts in provisions payable in treasury notes. Hudson, Mo., Sept. 6.—The east piers of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad, at this place were burned nearly through. As the train passed over, the engine, baggage car and two passenger cars, bound west, were precipi tated, and many persons killed and wounded. New York, Sept 6.—Cotton is firm at 22c. per lit. Flora Temple has been seized by the gov ernment as the property of Maryland seces sionists. The ship Marion has been seized. Montgomery Co., Md.—At last advices 7,000 Confederates were at Leesburg, and their en trenchments going on rapidly. The Confed erate pickets line the shore of the Potomac and guard the fords. Cairo, Sept 7.—Gen. Grant took possession of Paducah, Ky., to day, and seized the tele graph office. He issued a proclamation urg ing citizens to attend to their business. He concludes: “ Whenever it is manifest that you are able to defend yourselves and maintain the authority of the Government and protect loyal citizens, I shall withdraw the force un der my command.” Washington, Sept 7.—The War Department has sent word to held Hatteras permanently. Brig. Gen. L. Barr, of California, has arrived and will be assigned to St. Louis. Dead. Col. E. T. Jones, of the 4th Ala. Regiment, is dead. His remains passed through Knox ville on the sth inst.

DUNN —Died, on the 2d inst., Horace Mitchell, only son of W. E. and M. T. Dunn, aged 1 year, 4 months and 12 days. Farewell, sweet child, forever rest Midst blissful regions fair and bright, Where dwell the spirits of the blest, In Heaven’s own pure, celestial light. O’er thy young grave shall fond ones weep, And drop the mournful, silent tear, Wrung from affection, pure and deep, Vainly in each succeeding year. Then, fare thee well—a parent’s sigh Cannot revoke thy mortal doom ; Thy mould’ring corse alone must lie Within the dark and silent tomb. The Wright Legion. This is a new military organization authorized by the Confederate Government. It is named in honor of Hon. Augustus R. Wright, of Floyd county," who will, in all probability, be called to the command. The Legion will consist of ten companies, viz: two of Flying Artillery, with four pieces each; four of Infantry, with four pieces each, in addition to the usual arms; and four of Lancers, to be armed with Lee’s Spring Sabre Lance and ten-inch Repeaters. Companies wishing to form a part of this Le gion will report immediately, at this place, to Capt. G. W. Lee or L. J. Parr, giving names of Companies, officers and the number of rank and file. As soon as these gentlemen are notified of the willingness of a sufficient number of Com panies to enter the Legion, they will be ordered into Camp, near this city, for equipment and instruction. All the expenses of transportation and subsistance, from the time of leaving home, will be defrayed by the Confederate Govern ment. It is thought that the Legion will be or. dered to our own sea-coast. A Card. To the Voters of Cobb, Fulton and Clay ton Counties : As the time for the election of members to the State Legislature approaches, and there seems to be no one enough interest ed in the subject to bring it positively before the public—nearly all eyes being attracted to wards the battlefield—and being physically un able to enter upon the active duties of the sol dier, and being further unwilling to allow the great events of the present struggle to pass by without taking some humble part therein, I have concluded that the demands of patriotism would, in some degree, be subserved by volun teering my services for the humbler duties of civil life, and, therefore, place my name before you as a candidate for Senator of the district composed of the counties of Cobb, Fulton and Clayton.
