The Produce Loan Again.
To day we publish a circular from the Sec
retary of the Treasury in regard to the Pro
duce Loan.
The object of this loan has been fully set
before the people. It is to give those who have
not the cash an opportunity to loan the Gov
ernment what they have, to assist in carrying
on the war to secure our independence. We
have no large moneyed classes—no Wail-
Street with its millions to pour into the lap of
the Government whenever it is needed; but
our people have that which they can easily
spare, and which is as good to our Govern
ment as gold. The surplus of the proceeds of
our agricultural industry will meet all de
mands, and answer every purpose. Let this
be given freely.
Many who intend to subscribe have not yet
done so. Let them send in their names and
amounts. We record the fact with pride, that
the response has everywhere been liberal by
those who have subscribed, and when others
who have not subscribed, do so, it will be
equally liberal on their part.
In Adams County, Miss., 22,000 bales of cot
ton were subscribed. This is worth nearly
$1,000,000. There is an agent in nearly every
county. The Government wants as early a
response as possible.

Literary Notices.
We have another Map of the “Seat of War
in Eastern Virginia,” which is published in

the price.
The Rolls of all the Companies comprising
the Fourth Georgia Brigade, which was ren
dezvoused at Camp McDonald. This a neat,
well-printed pamphlet of 32 pages—for sale
by McPherson. In fifty years from now, it
will be one of the most valuable documents
that can be found. You had better get it while
you can.
Southern Literary Messenger for August:
This a Southern literary monthly, published
at Richmond by McFarlane &, Ferguson at $3
per annum. We wish we could say sonrething
that would impress upon the minds of our
readers the value of this rare publication.—
Try it one year. We know every lover of pure,
lofty literature will find it exactly what they
want.
De Bow’s Review for August, 104 pages month
ly, $5 per annum :
This work is devoted to the Industrial Re
sources of the South. Farmers, lawyers doc
tors and everybody will find it to their advan
tage to consult its pages. Address No. 54
Camp-St., New Orleans.
The Savannah Journal of Medicine, $2 per
annum :
This is a long established and well conduct
ed journal. Address E. J. Purse, Savannah.
Catalogue of the Officers and Students of the
“ East Alabama College,” located at Auburn,
Alabama—Rev. Wm. J. Sasnett, President
of the Faculty :
It has a most able corps of Professors, is in
a flourishing condition, (having 288 students,)
notwithstanding the war, in a healthy locali
ty, and is a first rate institution every way.
The Southern Cultivator :
If what we have heretofore said of this
sterling monthly has not caused our farmers
to appreciate it, we are sure we can say no
thing more that will. No man in Georgia can
be a good and successful farmer without con
sulting its pages.

The Stephens Regiment.
Another Regiment, for the war, will rendez
vous in this city during the present week, and
leave immediately for Virginia.
It is called, in honor of the Vice-President,
*• The Stephens Independent Regiment of Geor
gia Volunteers.” Its fleld'officers are
Edward L. Thomas, of Whitfield, Colonel.
Wesley C. Hodges, of Columbus, Lieutenant-
Colonel.
Gustavus A. Bull, of LaGrange, Major.
The former two served with distinction in the
Mexican war. Lieutenant-Colonel Hodges and
Major Bull have been in service since the com
mencement of the present war. All are, there
fore, highly capable and experienced officers,
with whom may be most confidently entrusted
the honor of the regiment and of their native
State, Georgia.

SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
. Yankee Morals.
Maj. W. L. Hubbard, Adjutant of the Sev
enth Regiment of Georgia Volunteers, has fa
vored us with the following. It speaks for it
self :
W. L. Hubbard, Esq, Adjutant 7th Georgia
Regiment :
Dear Sir : Below I hand you copy of letter
from Rev. Robt. Lowery, of Brooklyn, New
York, to Rev. G. W. Dodge, Chaplain of Ells
worth’s Fire Zouaves: I wonder if the boys
are “ spilin’ for a sight ’’ now. If so, as Dick
Swiveller said, “ plenty more at the same shop;
a large assortment always on hand ; such cus
tomers promptly supplied :”
Yours truly,
CRAWFORD CUSHING.
No. 63, Portland Avenue, )
Brooklyn, July 12, 1861. J
Dear Ero. Dodge: Your welcome letter reach
ed me two weeks ago. I have been away a
week, so have seemed neglectful of your epis
tle. I was very glad to hear from you, and
have thought of you frequently since we part
ed on Broadway, after the purchase of that
knife and revolver. If a bullet from the lat
ter had been honored with a lodgment in the
traitor Jackson’s vile carcass, it would have
been a pleasant piece of information. I am
very much afraid your boys are not to have a
serious brush with the rebels within the unfor
tunate three months of their enlistment. It
will be a dry rain with them, if they make a
return march up Broadway without having
had a real grand tug with the foe. It will be
like running the machine to a fire, and finding
the fire out. I hope, for their own sakes, they
may have a chance to do a big thing with those
infernal traitors, before they get home. I wish
I could slip down and see you. It would be
delightful to see the boys in fierce array, spilin
for a fight, and no fight on hand.
We have great confidence in Gen. Scott up
here, and we have confidence in prompt meas
ures, also. There are some rebel batteries too
close to Federal lines to make it particularly
honorable or creditable. I think the boys
would like to take those posts by the contract,
and give good security for the prompt per
formance of all engagements, and assnme all
risks. Ido not know but that wars, generally,
could be more rapidly and completely dispos
ed of by the contract system, than in the old
fashioned way. All the munitions of war, as
well as the Commissary Department, are un
der the contract system, and you get glorious
ly cheated and sold out generally. Suppose
you were permitted to look for your own sub
sistence, and do up the rebellion at so much
for the job. I think in that case, the rebel
Congress would never meet in Richmond, and
would not the Fire Zouaves be there “ to see ”
and have a big finger in that pie ? Methinks
so. Do you think it would be worth while to
correspond with Gen. Scott on the subject ? I
am anxious to have those Palm-Leaf Nabobs
gloriously whipped; so thoroughly, that, for a
generation to come, they will be glad to hold a
Northerners horse for a sixpence. I wish you
and the boys could be in at the death. Can’t
you all hold on to the end? No doubt you
have longings for the good ihings of Broad
way restaurants and the better comforts of
home. But it is not often that freeborn Amer
icans have an opportunity to fight and die for
such a country as this. Had you not all bet
ter stay till you wipe the thing clean, and then
you can tell your children a tale that the an
gels themselves would love to listen to. I sup
pose if you could only put a bullet through
some contractors and commissarys, you would
be more happy than you are. Some of them,
at least, ought to be sene over the Potomac
astride of a log. It is unpardonable, that when
thousands of men have laid themselves on the
altar of their country, a few graceless, soulless
scoundrels should disaffect a whole army by
this diabolical contract robbery.
A member of Duyrea’s Regiment told me,
the other day, he had not had 30 cents worth
of provisions in a week, in the face of the fact
that the Government provides 30 cents worth
per day for each man. The unmitigated
wretches that cause such a state of things, are
a thousand times worse than open traitors,
fighting in the rebel army. I wish you could
give them all a fair hanging, and hold a court
martial in their cases afterwards.
What has become of Congress down your
way ? It looks as if Old Abe was sound on the
goose. $400,000,000 and 400,000 men ought to
lay this little trouble on the shelf for all time
to come. Part of the money ought to be ex
pended in the erection of a continuous gallows
around the Capitol grounds, to be thickly
strung with seed rebels, from Jeff, the arch
traitor, down to microscopic Twiggs, the most
contemptible of them all. Tell the boys do
hold on— a few more pork rations and hard
crackers, and you will have the pleasure of
opening up avenues through the ranks of the
fighting rebels, and bearing prayers under the
scaffold of traitors of “ upper ten.”
Give my best regards to Hosford. He is a
good fellow, with a mother and sisters who
love Christ. I think he wants to be a Chris
tian. I hope the solemn surroundings of a
soldier’s life have, not failed to impress him with
a need of a preparation for eternity.
I am comfortably fixed in Brooklyn—an ad
vance in every respect over the old spot. Se
cession is an infection, you see.
Glad to hear from you at any time. May
your braves return with many scalps.
Yours fraternally,
ROBT. LOWERY.
This hopeful epistle from one who professes
to be a disciple of Him who preached “peace
i upon earth and good will to man,” was picked
j up with the port folio of the Rev. Dodge, who
' lost it near my house in trying to Dodge our
cavalry. It the old fellow wants bis port fo
lio, he can have it by holding my horse, and I
i will give him a sixpence to boot.

; A Ms to a—Wo learn that about eleven
I o’clock on Saturday night a most magnificent
meter was seen to rather sail athwart the
heavens, shedding a brilliant light in its pas
sage. which, so far as we can learn, was from
| the Northeast to the Southwest. One gentle
j man informs us that it lit up Market street al
; most equal to the day.

Messrs, Editors : As citizens of Atlanta, we
ought to feel a very high gratification at the
fact, that besides the contributions in men
which this great-hearted city has furnished to
the armies of our beloved country, Atlanta is
doing her part, and a noble part, in furnish
ing the most valuable aids to our brave boys
in the field, in the way of instruments of war.
It may, perhaps, be news to many of our citi
zens, that Mr. Rushton, of the Georgia Rail
road, has been exercising his admirable me
chanical genius on a new cannon, which pro
mises to be a great success. It is enough to
say that this breach loading gun, weighing
between 600 and 800 pounds, has attracted the
attention and respect of our best military
minds, and so far endorsed by our Govern
ment, as to have secured an order of consid
erable importance from the Secretary of War.
We learn that two of the guns ordered have
been completed, and the rest soon will.
Besides this most valuable addition to our
armament of death dealing implements,
Messrs. Lee A Parr have invented and per
fected a Sabre Lance, which will certainly
win a celebrity short of no weapon of modern
times. Simple as this weapon is, it is formi
dable to a degree that no army, we venture to
say, will ever stand against it when present
ed in the hands of men who have the pluck
to make up their minds to charge with it. Un
like any bayonet ever invented, there will be
no taking hold with the hand of a sword,
which, darting forward with the speed of
lightning, will drive itself through the body of
Falstaff himself, jj he stood before it. We re
repeat, that for simplicity and effectiveness,
this weapon is to-day without a rival. Here,
again, our Government has evinced its high
appreciation of a truly meritorious invention
by ordering, we learn, 2,000 of the sabre lance
for immediate use.
We are more than anxious to witness the
success of these two awful death-dealing ap
pliances in the hands of our dauntless men.
We have been informed that the “ Wright Le
gion,” now preparing for rendezvous, and soon
to go into active service, will be equipped in
part with the Rushton cannon and the sabre
lance. And now, let us make the prediction,
that under the leadership of the dashing and
high-mettled Wright, the steady and solid Lee,
and the brilliant and ever-alert Parr, that no
legion or fighting crowd that has left or ever
will leave our dear old commonwealth, will
win prouder laurels. All who desire to place
their names on the muster roil of glory that
this Legion will secure, should lose no time,
for soon there will be no room to spare
ATLANTA.
The Atlanta Amateurs.
The Grand Medley Soire of the Atlanta
Amateurs at Ralston’s Hall last night, was a
most brilliant success—the spacious Hall be
ing packed iu every part except the gallery,
and that was nearly full. We never saw a
finer audience out, iu Macon, on any similar
occasion, and we never saw one so intense
ly gratified with an entertainment. It was a
“ medley,” sure enough ‘‘music, mirth and
melody ” and well sustained in all its parts.
The young ladies performed exceedingly well,
while the gentlemen amateurs, under the lead
of the inimitable Barnes, in the performance of
the various scenes—“ from grave to gay—'
from lively to severe”—did the thing up, in a
truly handsome and original style. The Ta
bleaux were well gotten up and effectively
displayed. The “Continental’ Violin Music
of our friend Col. Lowe, ‘brought down the
house,” or rather, almost lifted every man,
women and child in the house to their feet, and
set them to “tripping the light fanast io toe,” in
obedience to the inspiring and pedal moving
of the instrument. But what shall we say of
Barnes’ Comic “Pushing Song,” and his
“ Root hog or die’ burlesque or old Abe ?
Nothing that will give the reader any fair idea
of the comicality and richness of this original
feature of the Exhibition. It must be seen
and heard to be appreciated. The sentimen
tal music of Prof. Hanlon and the ladies was,
in short, the whole Entainment, in its object
and its excellent performance, did great cred
it to the “Amateurs” of our sister city, and
entitle them to the largest meed of praise from
our people. They will give another Concert,
to-night, and we need not say that those who
cannot attend will miss the richest treat of
the day. Macon Citizen, Sept. 6.
The Atlanta Amateurs.
This sterling band was greeted withanotbs
er large “house” last night. We have but
time enough to say that everything went
off “as merry as a marriage bell.” Barnes
and Nash were encored, and the entire perform
mances elicited the most unbounded applause.
The Tableaux representing “The Union as it
was” very finely executed, and drew forth the
warmest encomiums from the audience. A
native of the “ Palmetto State,” who was pre
sent, in the ardor of bis felicitations upon the
representation of the Secession movement,
exclaimed Georgia has seceded thank God,
and so has South Carolina 1”
Col. Lowe on the violin was inimitable ;
the closing tableau! superb. Barnes was call
ed upon at the conclusion of the performances,
and responded in his usual manner. The pro
ceeds of the two entertainments net the hand
some sum of near four hundred dollars.—Ma
con Telegraph, Sept. 7.
■eUTbe victory of General Floyd is in
some respects the mast brilliant and cheering
of the war. The small force under his com
mand rendered a great battle impossible ; but
it is a perfect affair of its kind, and breaks
the spell of our misfortunes in Western Vir
ginia. Up to this moment we have heard
nothing but evil from the other side of you
; Blue mountains; but there is reason to hope,
■ and even to believe, that the first news from
Floyd’s command are the first notes iu a long
j strain of triumph from the West. For once
I the Northern press gave us statements more
i reliable than the early rumors from our own
side. They admitted, on the moment, a loss
: of two hundred and a disastrous retreat, and
! tbeir accounts were correct. One hundred
i prisoners from that combat at Cross Lanes
‘ reached Richmond on yesterday. Sixty oth
ers are on their way. Seventy corpses were
, counted on the field, and the retreat of the
enemy was a disorderly rout, in which they
‘ out ran (everything, tbeir arms and baggage
! included. Although General Floyd has pass
j ed his distinguished life in civic employment,
| no one who knew him eould doubt his snccese
at the head of an army. To a far-seeing and |
; rapid intelligence, to great faculties for ar
rangement and administration, he united a
; bold and daring character, and a temper not
to be thrown from its balance by unexpected
events. What is of quite as much importance
in a general of volunteers, he is one of those
whom other men obey without displeasure,
because they recognize in him a natural lea-
1 der and legitimate chief. Success in war is j
much an affair of fortune ; but if circumstan
ces do but give him common favor, the nation
will yet have to own another debt to that manly
intellect and that lion heart.— Richmend Exam
iner, Sept. 4.
For the “ Confederacy.”
In Memory of Capt. Moyer,
TJ7io fell in the Rattle of Manassas Plains, July
21st!, 1861.
BY GERTRUDE.
The noise and the smoke of the battle is past;
And the din of that horrible conflict is o’er;
And the moon and the stars their effulgent beams cast
O’er the banks and the waves of the bright Shenan
doah.
No longer the groans and the shrieks of the dying;
No longer the sound of the musketry’s roar ;
That plain is now still, while the dead are there lyimr
Who will wake to the glory of battle no more.
There’s weeping, and mourning and great lementation,
All over the length and breadth of the land ;
And wild cries arise ’mid the joy of the nation,
For those who have fallen in that gallant band.
There in his last sleep lies the grandsire gray,
And there rests the youth ’mid his life’s early bloom ;
The young and the old on that battle-ground lay
Whose glory, though great, can scarce equal its gloom.
Near that scene of carnage a young soldier lay, „
The first who had fallen in that fated band,
He sank with his life-blood fast ebbing away,
Alone and a stranger in that distant land.
No fond, gentle mother was near that lone pillow;
No sister to soothe every care as before;
No kind friend to lay him beneath the green willow,
When life, with its dangers and conflicts, was o’er.
In the midst of the battle the young hero stood ;
Regardless of danger, he gallantly fought,
Till wounded he sank in that ocean of blo -d,
And rejoiced at the victory tho’ so dearly bought.
In the first dawn of manhood he yielded his life—
A more noble sacrifice could not be made—
And long was the struggle, and bitter the strife,
Which number’d this hero among the brave dead.
Though young, he has won for himself such a name,
That is now on the lips of each Southerner true; —
Then we’ll think of his glory, and cherish hie fame,
Tho’ the laurel be twined with the cypress and rue.
Atlanta, August 15,1861.

For the “ Confederacy.”
Picket-Guard.
What are your thoughts, poor soldier,
On picket-guard to-night?
Are you weary and sick with watching
’Neath the quiet stars so bright ?
Do your thoughts wander back to the homestead,
Where mother and sister so dear,
Are dreaming of you in their slumber,
And even in sleep shed a tear ?
Arc you thinking of one fond and faithful,
Ever ready to yield up her life
To shield and protect you from danger,
The loved one, your own angel wife ?
Then do not be weary with watching,
But think of the loved ones afar,
And pray that the Ruler in Heaven
May shield you from dangers of war.
May the bright Star of Hope never flicker,
But first in thy heart own its sway,
And courage nerve thy arm iu fierce battle,
And victory smile o’er thy way.

The Crops.—lt is somewhat Jisheartrning
to hear what effect the late rains have had
upon the crops.
The damage to cotton alone in this section,
from all accounts, is incalculable. The corn
is also much injured, still we hope neither is
as bad as represented. If the season from
this should be favorable, enough will be made
to aastain the South free from want.
Economy in all things, by the Confederate
States, should rule. The disaster to the crops
admonishes all, and particularly the farmer,
to be careful of all.they make, every sprig of
grass and vine on tbeir farms, calculated to
make food for animals, should be saved—the
situation of the South requires this.— Selma
