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 st an early day. R. J. COWART, Sept 11-ts. E.P. WATKINS. War! War! The Companies tendered to the Confederate Regiment of Col. J. W. H. Undebwood having failed to rendezvous at the time appointed, will now enter camps one at a time as they get ready, and will be put in drill and mus tered in as they arrive. All expenses will be paid by the Confeder ate Government after their arrival at Griffin, Georgia, and Conductors on Rail Roads will charge the transportation to the Government, Arms will be furnished at an early date, and full companies who choose to vote for the gentlemen who hold the orders and instructions of the War Department, will be received as fast as they come. ts. Tua Ciov(.KNMKNr and the Express Company. —lt is understood that the Government will fi ud it necessary, and baa taken measures to employ, to a considerable extent, the Southern Express Company as an agent for collections and remittances in the revenue department of the Government. In order to secure the inte rest of the Government, we learn that Mr. Memminger has prescribed and required a bond, for the faithful performance of these du ties by the Express Company, in the sum of one hundred thousand dollars, which has been promptly given, with approved sureties.— Richmond Examiner. Gen. Kirby Smith. This distinguished officer, who was severely wounded at the battle of Manassas, has so far recovered that he is to be married at Lynch burg, to-night, to a Miss Seddon. So we are iuformed. He has been at Lynchburg since he was wounded. The Yankee Prisoners Passed through at one o’clock yesterday without stopping a moment, much to the dis. appointment of hundreds of persons who bad gathered at the depot to look at them, having heard that they were not like folks at all: that they were naked and hairy all over, and had had horns hoofs and tails, and all were chain ed like so many oxen in a stock car. We hope the next train will atop long enough to allow ns to examine the hanimals. The Atlanta Amateurs. This patriotic and talented musical and com ical company gave another medley entertain ment on Monday evening tea crowded house. The audience was delighted. All was good ; Speeches, Songs, Tableux, &c., &c. These •nrertaiomen's are rich and no one can help •cjoying them in almost every particular. We veauiro to suggest on« point on which we think an improvement could be made: Some of the member* of the company appear a little too often, and some respond too often to encores 'T the audience, if the frantic storming of the audience can possibly be appeased other erwise, we think they should go on with the programme. These repetitions, even when earnostly demanded by a pleased audience, will weary their patience. Hut an entenaiemoat so full of light and beaaty, mueie and good cheer should be touch ed lightly. SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY Scoundrels. Some few persons are traveling through the Confederate States, pretending to be agents of the Government, buying up* all the guns, blankets, woolen goods and articles suitable for the army, for the purpose of selling them to the Government at a large profit. Beware of such xiljains. “ Nestor,” Oar able and reHable correspondent from the army of the North-West appears again in our columns this morning His letter gives the most important information upon matters concerning which we have heretofore had only unauthenticated rumors.

Lee’s official report of the plan of operations on Cheat Mountain was received at the War Department to-day, from which it appears that the entire plan was disconcerted from a failure of one of his col umns to attack the enemies position, which was defended by an al most impenetrable stock ade fort. They had been re in forced by threi Ohio regiments. The-“ Examiner” of this morning publishes the following list of c dlectors of the war tax : for Alabama J. C. Brantly ; Arkansas, Wm. 11.

Martin; Tennessee, Isaac B. Williams; Texas, Geo. J. Durham; Virginia, Henry T. Garnett. Wilmington, N. C., Sept. 24.—A suspicious bark baa been off* our coast for several days. She captured tbe schooner Mary A. Pender, on Sunday, 20 miles north of this. The captain and crew of the Pender arrived here in a boat yesterday. She was returning home from Charleston with 75 casks of lime for Fort Ma con. Two pilots are believed to have been de coyed on board the bark. Richmond, Sept. 24.—A well informed gen tlemen, recently from New York, gives it as his opinion from facts communicated afid well understood in interested circles there, that the Yankee proprietors of large and extensive in terests in Brunswick, Ga , have induced Lin coin to fit out a large and expensive expedition with about 20,000 men, to take Brunswick, es tablish a navy yard, open tbe port for the shipment of cotton, naval stores, and live oak. Sagacious men here think there is much rea son to believe this, as the federal government is almost wholly controlled by schemers and speculators. A lady arrived to-day frem Baltimore says the “Exchange,” “South” and “Republican,” in that city, are suppressed, and that the “Sun” soon will be. The Peabody Institute is being fitted up as a prison for secession ladies. The Central train to-day brought down 40 Yankee prisoners. Nothing new from camps. The “Examiner” of this morning intimates that the Cabinet had a long session yesterday on the policy of pushing the war beyond the lines ol the Confederate States. It says the Cabinet was pivided—some preferring the ordering of the Army into Head Quarters for the winter— others favored an onward movement. Mobilb, Sept. 21 —The “Tribune” publish es a’letter from a Tennessee Congressmen, da ted Murfreesboro the 20th instant, which says: “ Whatever the Kentucky Legislature or prom inent politicians may say and do, we have re liable information that a large majority of the bone and sinua—the fighting material of the State are heartily with tbe South, A column of Tennessee troops have posses sion of the Louisville and Nashvile Railroad, within 40 miles of Louisville, including the rolling slock and locomotives, and have burn ed the railroad bridge near Elizabethton.-- They are posted at Muldraugh’s Hill, 40 miles from Louisville, where the Kentuckians are rallying and uniting with them in large num bers.
