Mfr* , Old Papers For sale at our Reading Room. Price fifty cents per hundred. Our General Traveling Agent. Mr. J. T. Hall is onr General Traveling Ag’t to solicit and receipt for subscriptions and ad vertisements for the “Southern Confederacy.” Mr. T. C. Duval, of Rome, is also author ized to receive cash, and give receipts for the “ Southern Confederacy.” Notice. Very often our friends hand in local notices and advertisements too late in the even ing for their appearance next norning. The printers leave our office at six o’clock; and for more than two hours before they leave no new matter can be got in. In order to insure in sertion, they should be furnished to us by two o’clock. Advertising. The Confederacy has more than three times the circulation of any paper in Georgia, North of Augusta, and is fully 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. 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 oh 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. IST 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. J3jT‘ In all cases, subscribers to the Daily “ Confederacy” will be charged at the rate of 50 cents 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. 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 enterprize 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 we 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, * 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. Notice to Volunteers. Ktlitora Confederacy/; lam authorised to or ganise a regiment of infantry, for the war, aud have positive assurance, from the proper authorities, that our services will be accepted immediately upon the organisation 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. lIARBEN, Lexington, Ga. ——. Nuisances. We notice that some persons have pig styes on their lots, bordering on or near the streets, which are not kept in a healthy condition.— They emit a most wholesome as well as offen sive effiuvia. We also notice that some of our grocers who deal in chickens, keep them in coops which are not properly attended to, and from which a stench is emitted filling the air for some dis tanoe around. The chickens which are kept in such coops are not health!;—not fit to eat— let alone the unwholesome disease generating effiuvia which such uncleansod coops emit These two nuisances should be abated. And while on ibis subject, wo would call attention to the fact that the lamps on the streets are commonly lighted after dark Our opinion is that they should be lighted a j little before that time. Chamber of Commece Will meet at Concert Hall this (Tuesday) as- I ternoon at tour o’clock, to appoltnt delcgaxes to Commercial Convention, and for other bnsinesa. ! Per order of President. W H. BARNES, Secretary. SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. For Congress. We notice that the name of Colonel Herbert Fielder, of Cedartown, is suggested by several of our cotemporaries as a candidate for Con gress from this (Btb) District. Wesley Chapel. The religious exercises at this church will be continued every night during this week. They are very interesting and a good work is going on. Gun Barrels. Mr. Esper has already turned out a few rough barrels at the Slate Road Shop. His arrangements for turning out 40 per day will 1 not, however, be completed in lees than two weeks. We learn that plenty of gunsmiths are ma king application to finish up the guns at the rates fixed upon by the Convention of Gun smiths lately held in this city. The work will be pushed with all speed. The Atlanta Grays. Capt. J. T. Lewis writes me that this com- I pany are wanting blankets, which cannot be 1 procured where they are. Every man in the company has a family or friends here who can furnish him with a blanket. If they will ( deposit them at my office I will forward to the company. Let it be done at once. N. J. HAMMOND. , Sept. 9ih, 1861. Captain Saxon’s Company, from Cass ' county, passed through this city en route for Camp Stephens, near Griffin, on Friday morn ing last. They number upwards of sixty men. < We learn that this is the twelfth company that < old Cass has sent into the field. The commis sioned officers are as follows : i R. C. SAXON, Captain. J. F. LEAK, Ist Lieut. A. M. LINN, 2d Lieut. Wm. CHUNN, 3d Lieut. -♦ Capt. G. J. Foreacre. This gallant soldier, Captain of the Confed erate Volunteers, 7th Georgia Regiment, who was severely wounded at the battle of Manas sas Plains, fighting bravely against the vile invaders of our soil, has so far recovered as to come home on a visit to his family and friends. He was on our streets yesterday, and was cor dially greeted by our citizens. Capt. F. is one of those unfortunate men who were born North of Mason A Dixon’s line, which class some few among us effect to despise with such wholesale indiscriminate hatred. 'I he Amateurs. Wc copy into our columns, this morning, no tices from the Macon papers of the performan ces of our Ainateurs’.thcre, and some days ago we copied similar notices from the Augusta pa pers of their concert at that place. There are no professionals in this club—all being strictly Amateurs. This Company has paid into the Treasury of the Soldiers’ Relief Fund $3,075, after deducting all expenses. They will give a benefit on Thursday night for the Lewis & Philips Guards. There will be a full house as thet e always is when the Amateurs I are on hand. Hardly Fair. The Savannah Morning Neros takes the Re corder to task about the list it published of the number of soldiers and companies sent from each county. The Recorder’s list gave Chat ham 11 companies and 990 men. The News says this is “ not quite half the number of or ganized companies in S ivannah.” This, we think, is not meeting the case fair ly. The Recorder, as we understood it, aimed at giving a list of the number of companies and soldiers from each county now in actual service in Virginia or elsewhere. We complain ed of the Recorders list in regard to our county, in setting us down for six companies, whereas, wo had eleven and something over; but we did not pretend to count, in this number, any company that is not already “ in the field” in actual service. The News has not told us how many compa nies Chatham has furnished, who have gone into the service of the Confederate States. The number of organized companies “ in Savannah” —though of some importance, is a matter of less moment than the number of companies organized and in service. Appointments of Prof. 11. H. Tucker. Prof. Tucker, of Mercer University, General Agent for “Georgia Hospital A Relief Society,” will address the citizens of DeKalb, Fulton, Coweta, Troup, Harris, Talbot, Meriwether, Fayette and Clayton counties at the following 1 times and places respectively, to-wit: ! At Decatur Saturday, September 14th. At Atlanta..... Monday, “ 16th. At Newnan Tuesday, “ nth. At LaGrange Wednesday, “ IStb. 1 At Hamilton Saturday, •• 2lst. At Talbotton..Monday, “ 23d. At Greenville Wednesday, •• 25th. At Fayetteville.. Friday, « 27th. At Jonesboro*.Saturday, “ 28th. Prof. Tucker having been an eye witness at Manassas, and elsewhere in Virginia of the ’ scenes whica he will describe, can give relia ble information on subjects of great interest, and of the utmost importance to the people of the Confederate States, especially to those who have friends in the army or about to join it. The public, »nd especially the ladies, are re spectfully invited to attend. The Superintendent of the Rockfish Focto ry in North Carolina writes that he has “used the Per nut oil by the side of Sperm and that it works fully as well." A Card. To thk 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 1 the publie—nearly all eyes being attracted to- I wards the battlefield —and being physically un able to enter npon the active duties of the sol | diet, and bein- further unwilling to allow the great events of the present struggle to pass by I without taking some humble part therein, 1 I have concluded that the demands of patriotism I I would. In some degree, be subserved by volun | leering my services for the humbler duties of I civil life, and, therefore, place my name before | you as a candidate for Senator of the district 1 composed of the counties of Cobb, Fulton and Clayton. GREEN B. HAYGOOD. August 98th, 18®. td FOP. THE « SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.” Fortress Monroe, Sept. B.—The Roanoke is here, being relieved from blockade duty off Charleston by the Wabash. The Quaker City is here coaling for a cruise. " The Confederate steamer Yorktown is 12 miles above Newport News, waiting an oppor tunity to run the blockade. Louisville, Sept. B.—Commissioners are to visit both the Confederate and Federal forces on the Kentucky soil, and see by what author- | ity, and for what purpose, they are there.— i (The Confederates occupy Hickman and the | Federate Paducah.) A stampede of Southerners, here on busi ness, occurred this morning, occasioned by un authorized statement that the railroad was to be stopped at 3 o’clock to day. Nothing of the kind has been received at the War Depart ment; and authoritative assurances are again given, that ample notice will be given of the stoppage of the trains. Parties going North, with ladies and chil dren, make unfortunate mistakes in advising them to get passes. None are granted or re quired. Fear of returning on their journey without them, is keeping many at the North who, but for this, would have been home long ago. Commissioners from the Kentucky Senate are here, on their way to Southern Kentucky. The precise object of their mission is un known. Ex-Senator Green, of Mo., with his forces, captured the Kansas Regiment at Shelbina, a depot on the Hannibal and St. Joseph Rail road, in Shelby Co., Mo. The term of their service had expired, and they were mustered out of service, but had volunteered to escort the train to St. Joseph. Many arrests of Federalists are reported at various points in Missouri, and the prisoners are to be held for retaliation, in case Fremont carries into effect bis murderous proclama tion. Nothing dt finite from Paducah, though a fight is reported. Washington, Sept. B.—The Confederates are within five miles of the President’s House, and three of Arlington Heights. At daylight this morning, the Federal Re lief Guards were fired on near Hunter’s Chap el. At sunrise, two Federal companies were sent forward to reconnoitre. The Confederates have taken charge of Bai ley’s X Roads, having thrown forward two regiments during the night. Three regiments are posted along Lit tle Creek, near Hunter’s Chapel, with 4 brass howitzers, drawn By men—having no other artillery. They are digging rifle pits near Hunter’s Chapel. The Confederates are briskly engaged drill ing on Munson’s Hill —occasionally firing at the Federal pickets. Washington, Sept. 9.—The War Department has advices from Resencraws to the 6th—all well. McClellan issues general orders agaifist Sun day labor, unnecessary labor, or unnecessary movements. The Times correspondent says a Court Mar tial at Alexandria has sentenced 30 soldiers to be shot for various offenses. A careful and extended observation on the Virginia side, has discovered new and formid able batteries commanding the Lewisburg turnpike for 7 miles from the Chain Bridge.— Felling timbers by the Confederates exposed their batteries to view. At day break this morning, the federal pick ets advanced a mile into Virginia, the Confed erates retreating before them. On Wednesday, the Confederates fired from an eminence at Great Falls, at a body of fed erate in Maryland, wounding four. They then attempted to ford the river, but were repulsed by the sharpshooters, who killed a number. McClellan ascended with Lowe in his bal loon, and remained up two hours. Fremont’s proclamation wae issuek on his own responsibility. It at first struck the Cab inet and President with utter amazement; but after discussion it was unanimously decided that the proclamation was issued just at the right time, in the right manner and by the right man. St. Louis, Sept. 9.—McCullough is reported at Mount Vernon reconnoitering briskly for a bold movement North. It is stated that Gens. Price and Raines have captured Fort Seott, Kansas, and that Mont gomery (the old notorious border ruffian) and most of his command are prisoners. Another report says that Gen. Jim Lane’s brigade (an other old Kansas murderer) defeated Raines, capturing his command. It is reported that Magoffin, (of Missouri,) a prisoner at Georgetown, is sentenced to be hung. Richmond'Sept. 9.—Wm. H. Byrd, formerly : of Augusta, Geo , was arrested and lodged in ■ jail yesterday, charged with being a spy. Doc- ’ uments were found on him which showed that he was quite recently a clerk of Lincoln's War Department. He had passes signed by Scott, > Cameron and others. Wilmington, N. C., Sept. 9.—Four Federal I vessels anchored off Fort Macon at 7 o’clock, I P. M., on Saturday. Their object is undevel- i oped. Manassas. Sept. 9.—C01. W. M. Gardner’s ! condition is much improved.
