southern tafetacg THURSDAY, SEPT. 19, 1861. Trophies. We have been shown by Mr. Haynes at the Georgia Railroad depot, some trophies captur ed by his brother in law, W. R. Montgomery Esq ,at the battle of Manassas Plains. They are a red blanket which was taken from one of the New York fire Zouaves whom Mr. Montgomery killed in the fight—a most ex cellent article ; and a Testament, belonging to the same Zouave, which was “presented by the New York Bible Society, April 1861,” “to the defenders of iheir country.” It has written in pencil, the name of “Charles W. Woodruff, Beaverdams, Chemung county N. Y.” The presentation inscription from the Bible Society is printed in colors, surmounted by a brilliant cut of the U. S. flag. Also two balls, one a grape, and the other a canister shot, both of which fell very near Mr. Montgomery —one striking him, but doing no damage. Mr. Montgomery is a private in the Palmet to Guards of Charleston, though a resident of Marietta. He has had a severe attack of ty phoid fever, from which he is now slowly re covering. and has come home on furlough to recruit. He was in both the battles of the 18th and 21st July. An Electorlal Ticket. The editors of the Intelligencer know that they cannot vote directly for Davis and Ste phens. They must vote for some 12 men in Georgia, who if elected, will then cast their votes for Davis and Stephens. The late Convention at. Milledgeville placed j before the people twelve men in this State to be voted for as electors, who, if elected, will ' cast their votes for Davis and Stephens. Will the editors of the Intelligencer support these men ? Are they really for Davis and Steph ens, or against them ? Come friends, fork over ; we want to know , if you are in earnest in advocating these men ■ for the first offices in the nation ? Do you in- 1 tend to support the electors who will vote for i them or not ? That’s the question ; and when i it is properly answered, we then can form a ’ better judgment whether you are really in fa- ’ vor of them or not. ! Appointments of Prof. 11. 11. 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 times and places respectively, to-wit: At Fayetteville Friday, Sept. 27th.

The public, end especially the ladies, arc re spectfully invited to attend. Dade County. A correspondent from Dade, writing on the the 21st inst., says : ■‘Governor Brown will have served out his allotted time, as Governor of Georgia, when his present term expires. If be then wishes to remain in public life, let him join the army, and show us wool-hat boys that he is not afraid of cold steel, and by that means add another laurel to his wreath of fame. “Judge Nisbet's nomination is well received in this section of the State.

Homicide. Ou Monday morning early, at Big Shanty, a soldier named Williford, from Glasscock county, belonging to Capt Jones’ Company— then on sentinel duty—shot and killed anoth er soldier of the same Company, though from Warren county, named Wilson. It appears that Wilson attempted to pass the lines where Williford was on duty, and disre garded Williford when he was hailed, where upon he fired and killed him almost instantly. We understand that a Court Martial was held on Wednesday, at which young Williford (only 17 years old) was examined, but we have not heard the result. Till the verdict is received we refrain from giving further particulars The body of Wilson passed down the Geor gia Road Wednesday fjr intern ent at home * - Thanks. Camp Bartow, Va , Sept. 2, 1861- Jfrs. N. F. Alexander, Slone Mountain : In behalf of the Company under my com mand, I feel happy to acknowledge the receipt of a handsome donation of ninety-five pairs of socks from yourself and daughter. Please ac cept our heartfelt I hanks. ’Tis indeed a source of much gratification to our brave volunteers to know they have kind friends in Georgia ever mindful of their wants. Though separa ted far and wide from home and all its sacred ties and endearments, we can assure you that your names will “ ne’er from memory’s tablet fade.” May Heaven’s choicest blessings be scattered along thy pathway through life. Very respectfully your friend, JOHN W. FOWLER, Capt. D. L. I. By order of the “DeKalb Light Infantry,” the Southern Confederacy, of Atlanta, Geo., is requested to publish the above note. Our Correspondence from the Wright I.c gion. Camp Kirkpatrick. I Near Atlanta, Sept. 24th, 1861. j Dear Confederacy : I bad hoped, ere this, to have seen in your columns some mention of this division of the Confederate service by one at least of your numerous patrons at this post; but, as yet, no one has deigned to honor us thus. With your permission, then—being anxious that your readers shall not remain in utter ignorance of our whereabouts—l propose to post them. The Encampment is spacious and shady, occupying about sixteen acres of the beautiful Grove known as Kirkpatrick’s, near the “ Double Cabins,” and in full view ot the Georgia Railrodd and the wagon road leading to Decatur. Our grounds were laid off with great accuracy by Dr. 11. S. Currier, of Atlanta, by request and under the direction of Capt. Lee; and when fully occupied by the Legion, will present a scene worth viewing. It is, probably, the handsomest and best site for the purpose that Iras been occupied with in the limits of the State. There are three Companies now on the ground, viz: the DeKalb Murphey Guards, Capt. J. Y. Flowers; the Bartow Avengers, Capt. Win. Wright, and the Jo Thompson Lan cers, Capt. L. J. Parr. Two other Companies arc expected to join us this week, and three more on Monday or Tuesday next. Some ten or a dozen others have applied for admission into the Legion ; but as all cannot be accom modated, it has been determined that the miller’s rule shall govern—i. e. those which arrive first will be the first mustered in. We have been honored by the presence of numerous friendi, both ladies and gentlemen, since our tents were pitched, and we Lope that they will continue their visits from time to time during our stay here. The fair—" God’s best gift to man”—will always find a cordial welcome at Camp Kirkpatrick. Religious services were perform!d, on our grounds, last Sunday afternoon by the Rev. Mr. Bowen. His discourse, which was eloquent and appropriate, was listened to with respect ful attention by all the men, and some twen ty-five lady visitors. Religious services are also performed nightly by Private Davis, of the Murphey Guards; and I am pleased to state that these are attended very generally by the officers and members of each corps. In deed, I may mention, as somewhat remarka ble, that the first General Order issued to the command was in reference to the religious services of last Sunday. The Confederacy is quite popular, and I think the number of your subscribers will soon be largely increased at this post. The arrange ment made by you for its delivery so soon in the morning is very convenient and gratify ing. The entire force here is about being formed into a battalion, and will march to Decatur where a Flag will bo presented by Mrs. Can dler, the patriotic daughter of the late Hon. Charles Murphey, to the Murphey Guards.— The Bartow Avengers were the recipients of a similar token from the hands of the fair of De catur, on Friday last. Yours, DOUBLE-QUICK. ♦ «. Hank Convention. The Banks in New Orleans and Mobile hav ing patriotically acceded to the resolutions of the Bank Convention, hold in Richmond in July last, “to receive the Treasury Notes of the Confederate States at par, in all payments and on deposit,” renders them current in all trans actions, at all places within the Confederacy, and leaves nothing further to be done. The adjourned meeting of the Bank Con vention, proposed to bo held in October next, iu Richmond, is therefore postponed until fur ther notice, at the recommendation of several Bank officers and others. G. B. Lamar, President. Southern papers please copy and notice the postponement. Confkberate Statis Treasury Notes.— Treasury notes of the denomination of ten dollars, engraved and printed by J" Manou vrier. New Orleans, tas appears m the margin of each note.) payable two years after date, were stolen from the packages in transitu from New Orleans to Richmond, and the public are notified that no notes of that denomination and description, engraved by “J. Manouvrier, New Orleans." have been issued by the De partment, and that none will be issued. The parlies who put the said notes in circulation have been discovered and arrested. The notes of the said issue have been suppressed, and any such notes found in circulation are spu rious. Wanted, A good Milk Cow, with a young calf.

An ■ immense crowd congregated nt the landing to greet their arrival. The vessel is anchored near the Passes. It is understood that the Yankee prisoners expected here’ will be escorted to ‘lie Parish Prison by a company of negroes. Sept. 25-—Col. Reuben Durritt and M. W. ( Barr, of Kentucky, who were arrested, were sent with Ex-Gov. Morehead to Jeffersonville [lnd.) Penitentiary. Judge Catron issued a writ of habeas corpus to procure their release, buttbey were removed to Indianapolis to j re vent its execution. Savannah, Sept. 25.—The Republican of this morning says the account from Richmond re lative to the destination of a Lincoln fleet, is corroborated by a letter from a Southern lady in New York. Charleston, Sept. 25.—0 n Monday General Ripley received a dispatch announcing that the fleet recently fitting out at Old Point had sailed for the South. Look out for Brunswick ! Our despatches this morning concerning the movements of the Lincoln fleet, will arrest attention. We have little doubt of their in tention to make a descent on our coast at an early day, if not within the present week.— The account from Richmond is corroborated by an enigmatical letter received here on Monday from a Southern lady in New York, she having selected a peculiar form of ex pression to puzzle the Lincoln officials in case her letter should be intercepted. The commander of the forces in North Car olina has telegraphed Gov. Pickens for a regi ment of soldiers to aid his own f< rc.es in anti cipation of another descent on that coast. [Savannah Republican, yesterday Thurlow Weed is, we believe, tne head of tfye Yankee company of speculators who un dertook to establish a Yankee Colony at Bruns wick, and by means of a canal and railroad, to overrun and virtually subjugate South western Georgia. Urged to it by Weed and his Yankee partners of the Brunswick com pany, it is highly probable that the Lincoln Government may undertake to carry out the above scheme. With a largi fleet and such a force, in the present unfortified condition of the harbor, they may accomplish a landing; but we apprehend that they will find it an other very unprofitable Brunswick specula tion. They will have a good time getting cot ton. naval stores and live oak for shipment, and before Christmas, Yankee Brunswick stock will be at a lower figure than ever it has been.— Savannah R'ews, yesterday. Wilmington, Sept. 25 —The suspicious Bark is still off New Inlet. It sometimes appears to be a steamer and again a sail vessel. Two steamers were off New Inlet yesterday —wuly one is seen this morning. Two or three pilots were decoyed off Sun day, and six steamers were reported oil' Fort Macon, on Monday, but they soon disappear ed. The general belief is that their destina tion is Cape Fear. A reliable gentleman from New River, Onslow Co., N. C., reports heavy firing on Monday to the eastward, from 9 A. M. to 1 P. M. Nothing more known. Richmond, 25.—The command io Western Virginia has been devolved on Gen. Floyd, Gen. Wise having accepted another command. Nothing new from camps. When the Federate entered Hampton, the Free Masons who belonged to the 3d New York Regiment entered the Lodge Room in Hampton, secured the books, records, regalia, Ac.—boxed them up and sent them to Balti more, where they await the order of the Vir ginia Grand Lodge, with the assurance of safe transportation. About 25 Union prisoners from Hardy County, arrived this afternoon. OUR COAST IS INVADED. THERE are a great many married men in and about Atlanta who cannot enlist for the war. but who, under the present exigen cies of the case, are willing to go in the de fense of our Coast. To all such persons I would say, that I have just received authority from the President of the Confederate States to raise a CAVALRY COMPANY, EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE COAST DEFENSE. This Company will be continued in service as long as the necessity exists, but under no con sideration for a longer term than 12 months, unless desired by the Company. These spe cial privileges were granted upon the express condition that the Company is to be composed entirely of married men ; consequently, none others need apply. We expect to boon the coast in a very few days. The enemy arc up on us ; who will go?
