This gallant officer, commander of the Floyd Infantry, from Rome, in this State, we regret to learn, died recently in Richmood, from the wound received in the battle of Manassas.— His remains passed through this city on Mon day night last, en route for Rome, for inter ment. Capt. Cooper was a son of M. A. Coop er of Cass. Gone to the Convention. Mr. Smith, one of the editors of this jouroal, departed on the Macon train yesterday morn ing for Milledgeville.

Our “Cousin John’s ** brother, Capt. James C Thrasher, passed through here yesterday morning, with seventy fighting men from Ben Smith’s District, in Gwinnett county, en ronre to join Ban McCulloch’s forces in Missouri.— Capt. Thrasher’s men are fine specimens of our up-country yeomanry, and wilt prove the equals of any Western troops, in sac4son« and true aim. Dr. Coutourler and Prof. Reeves Left here yesterday. They go to Newnan and LaUraege, and then toother points. Their entertain menu are of the first order. The Dr’» reading of gems from Shakespeare, Byron and Bulwer are equal to anybody's, and far supe rior to any strolling vagabond Yankee that ever passed through the State, or elsewhere.— The Profiemor's singing in rich, rare, and—we don't know what else--full of the meet irre sistible laugbtertprovoking mirth, sublimity, or pathetic heart-touching of the softer strings of the heart.

J. Parr Captain. C. R. Hanleiterlst Lieutenant. E. J. Craven 2d Lieutenant. Wm. P. McDaniel3d Lieutenant. The corps have applied for admission into the Wright Legion, and will probably be ac cepted.

I The undersigned have just returned from the Seat of War, for the purpose of aiding in the coast defence during the winter. We pro pose to raise a regiment for that purpose, should we be needed; and, if not needed on the coast, for such field of action as the pub lic exigencies may demand. Companies wishing to join this regiment, will make application to the undersigned at once, as the regiment will be organized at an early day- R. J. COWART, Sept 11-ts. E. P. WATKINS. That Citizens’ Meeting. Our readers will reco’lect that a call for a meeting of the citizens of the County, to as- 1 semble on the 23d August, appeared in our paper. The day was most inclement. Rain fell in torrents almost incessantly. But few persons got to the City Hall, and the meeting was postponed. The “ Intelligencer,” in its issue of the 10th inst., says that only “ seven persons, including spectators and newspaper reporters,” appeared at the City Hall. We know not upon what authority this un qualified statement was made. It is not cor rect. We saw twenty persons there, and know ' not how many came and went away both be fore and after we were there. A subsequent call was published, and a 1 meeting was held on the 3d inst. The “ In telligencer,” in its issue of the sth inst., has an article stating that thirty nine persons only attended, and that twenty-four of this number were appointed delegates; and again in its issue of the 10th, it says that thirty persons were present, “including spectators,” and twenty were appointed delegates. We know not upon what authority these conflicting statements were made. Twenty delegates were appointed, but that is the only correct statement in the whole. There were about 100 persons present at the meeting. We did not count them, but this is our judgment. We know that there were largely over 30 or ■ 39—fully double either of these figures and over. We make these statements to correct a bad habit of the “Intelligencer’s” which we will not characterize. 1 We are no apologist or defender of the meet- i ing or of its object—sending delegates to a nominating Convention. We are on record against a Convention, and expect to stand by , that record. We oppose them now, and always will; and we are sorry the Convention was called or a single county meeting for the pur- < pose of sending delegates to it was held in Georgia. But our regrets have not prevented the holding of the meetings and the Conven tion, and we are not going to pitchjn and abuse and underrate them because of our opposition ; and our opinion is that the Intelligencer would better servo the cause it has at heart by stating matters as they are. In order to set ourselves right, we will again state that we may support the nominees of Conventions for office. Our unalterable and eternal opposition to the manner in which a man may be brought before the people for an office will not prevent us from supporting the man, if we think it best. When we support a man for office, it shall be on his merits, look ing to the good of the country, and not because a Convention has, or has not, recommended him. To the Voters of Fulton county.

Immediate and unceasing efforts in Georgia, from the mountains to the seaboard, and from the Savannah to the Chat tahoochee, should be made to ameliorate the condition of our suffering soldiers. Richmond, Sept. 10.—The following deaths have occurred in the 16th Georgia (Howell Cobb’s) Regiment, during the week ending on Sunday last: Privates James R. Lawler, W. Pinson, J. M.

Howell of Company G; Silas Ruddle of Company I; also a soldier named Kidd. There is no news worthy of telegraphing- Many rumors are afloat, some falsely predica ted upon War Department dispatches which the Department never received, and others equally unfounded. P. M. The Enquirer of to-morrow will pub lish a letter from Gen. Wise’s camp, detailing the particulars of a sharp engagement on the 2d inst., near Hawk’s Nest, in the Kanawha Valley, in which the Federals were routed and ran leaving Kanawha. The Confederates had one slightly wounded ; loss of the Fede rals unreported. Rumor here says there was probably a se vere battle on Sunday last between Wises, Floyd’s and Chapman’s Confederate forces and the fedeoals under Cox. Washington, Sept. 9.—The Post says that the Government’s Attorney at Baltimore is under suspicion of disloyalty, having taken no steps to confiscate the property of Mary landers who are in the Confederate Army. Government has prohibited the wearing of se cession costumes in Baltimore. The Postmaster General has ordered a re newal of the mails to Paducah, the same be ing in possession of the Federals. Despatches from Montgomery County, Ma ryland, of the 7th, state that the Confederates fire continually at our men and ferries, ma king occasional demonstrations across the river. The fortifications on Munson’s Hill appear to be completed. Everything was quiet on Sunday. On Monday morning the Confederates open ed fire from a concealed battery, throwing shell into the encampments of our pickets, when our sharp shooters advanced and killed two Confederate pickets. Sr. Johns, Sept. 9.—The steamship Africa has arrived at Queenstown with Liverpool ad vices to the Ist instant. The sales of cotton, three days previous, reached 70,000 bales. The market closed calm at an advance. The Broker’s Circular, per Africa, reports sales of cotton in Liverpool during the week preceding the Ist inst., at 120,000 bales, of which speculators took 50,000 and exporters 19,000, at an advance of one-sixteenth to one eighth. On Friday the sales were 15,000, in cluding 7,000 to speculators and for expect. Manchester advices were favorable. In London, Consols were quoted at 92J to 925. Advices received in England state that the Confederate Privateer Sumter had taken and sunk forty vessels. Baltimore, Sept. 9.—A train of cars with a detachment of cavalry were thrown off the track today. Four were killed, three mortal ly and many seriously wounded. The engin eer has been arrested.

Cairo, Sept. 9.—lt is reported that General Polk’s force at Columbus has been increased to thirteen regiments, with six field batteries, Beige battery, and three battalions of cavalry. He has also gun boats and three steamers.— The Jeff. Thompson is at Bellmont, opposite Columbia. The gunboat Yankee came within 3 miles of Cairo yesterday, and returned without ma king any demonstration. Commodore Rogers seized the steamers John Gaut, John Bell and Jefferson at Paducah. Frank iomt, Ky., Sept ».-The vote on the resolution sending Commissioners to the camps at Paducah and Columbus has been reconsid ered, and the Commissioners recalled. Louisville, Sept. 9.—A party representing the Federal Government in telegraph matters was here yesterday, but no steps were taken to interrupt communication. It is understood that the Agent will recommend that censors ba placed on the line as far in the interior of Kentucky as the same may be safe. There is nothing definite from Frankfort A Card. To tub Voters op Cobb, Fulton and Clay tox Covxties : 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 or 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 toy 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 Ctayton.
