GEO. W. ADAIR J. HENLY SMITH, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. ATLANTA, GEORGIA: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1861. 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. —i—e< * Literary Notices. We have another Map of the “Seat of War in Eastern Virginia,” which is published in Richmond. It is the best out yet, as it shows the counties, (being printed in colors,) besides all the points of interest. McPherson has it for sale—price 50c. Sent by mail on receipt 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. ••• - - * Current iu Virginia. Al a meeting of the Banks of the oily of Richmond, it was resolved that the notes of the following banks in Georgia be received and paid out at their counters. Bank of Commerce, Savannah.

Cos- i fee. and fought under Jackson in the Creek i war. Ben went with Davy Crockett to Texas, • and was afterwards under Sam Houston in the . Texan Army. He was iu the battles of Mon- ■ terey and Buena Vista, under Gen. Taylor.— • He afterwards went under Scott, and was at the conquest of the City of Mexco. He was I always a Democrat, and was appointed Uni- , ted States Marshal for Texas, by Pierce. He was afterwards appointed one of the Peace | Commiaaioners by Buchanan, to Salt Lake.

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. C C . ; 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. From the accounts given, the meteor chan . ged colors, presenting nearly all the hues of ■ the rainbow.— Wilminyfon Journal. 2d inst- I One line answers here. Prophets with Honor, &c.’ 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 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 T7«ifor.
