Red Mark Again.
We are sending out to all our daily subscri
bers, whose time expires before the 15th in
stant, a back number of our paper, with a
cross mark, and the day on which their sub
scription terminates, entered on the margin
of the paper with a red pencil. Let all who
wish to continue renew in time. We cannot
send out our paper without the money in
advance. Advertising is almost nominal,
and we live and are able to publish our paper
almost from subscriptions alone.
And let all who can, send us $5 in advance
for a year’s subscription. It will cost them
less and be of very great advantage to us-
The time and labor of re entering monthly
subscriptions is a daily tax on us, while some
other portion of our business is suffering for
want of our attention. ts

1 ain required by the Commander in-Chief
of the Slate of Georgia to assemble the Mili
tia of this County immediately. I do here
by command every officer commanding each
company in each ward in the city or district
in this County, to have every man in their
jurisdiction to be and appear in this city on
Saturday, (he 12th of this month, al ten
o'clock, with a good fire-arm, for the purpose
of Drill. Every Commissioned officer will
assemble on Friday, the 11th, for the purpose
of Instruction.
1 hope there is not a man in the County
that will refuse to contribute even in so small
a portion in the preparation for the defense
of our invaded country.
Fail not, under the penalty of the luw.

The Amateurs.
The Dramatic Entertainment, by the Mari
etta Amateur Club, on Tuesday last, says the
Marietta “Advocate," was a decided success.
The performers, one and all, acted their parts
with the skill and effect of professional sta
gers. Where all did so well, it would be in„
vidious to particularize ; but we cannot for
bear from assuring the Club of the high ap
preciation of their efforts, and the entire
satisfaction with which their entertainment
was received by every one present.
Too much praise cannot be bestowed on the
Manager for the order and system throughout
the performance. Everything was done right
and at the right time.
| Recollect that the Amateurs are coming here
Thursday night. You have not seen them yet;
but, of course, you will when they come.—

Hoy Killed.
Another boy, son of Mr. Owen, who keeps
a Livery Stable on street, about 14
years of age, was killed on Saturday evening.
He was running back and forth in the cars
while they were in motion. H« came on the '
platform of the car next the tender, against
which he placed the eud of a slick leaning his i
stomach on the othrr eud of it. In this con
dition the engine was stopped, when the mo
mentum of the car pressed his bopy forward, •
into which the stick was thrust, making a
frightful and ghastly wound, soon resulting
in death. He was buried yesterday.

Another Company.
In response to the call of Dr. J. A Taylor,
a meeting was held yesterday at the Fulton
Blues Hall and a company organized,by elect
ing unanimously the following officers:
Albert Howell, Captain.
Joseph Thompson, jr., Ist Lieutenant,
Warren Jourdan, 2d Lieutenant.
R. A. Fife, 3d Lieutenant,
J. E. Spencer, Orderly Sergeant.
C. Bramley, 2d Sergeant.
J. A. Baker, 3d Sergeant.
J. M. Hunnicutt, 4th Sergeant.
The company was called the “ Foster
Guards”—after Gen. Ira R. Foster —a deserv
ed compliment to an honest and faithful offi
cer.
Dr. Taylor presided at the meeting and
would have been chosen Captain unanimous
ly—as it was his intention to go into the ser
vice when he called for the raising of the
company. In the meantime,he had received a
petition, unanimously signed by the pliysi
cians and citizens of the city requesting him
to forego bis intention ; stating that he could
illy be spared, and that he could be of more
service to the country in his present occupa
tion, compounding prescriptions &c., for the
ills of life, than in the tented field. It was
such as be did not feel at liberty to decline and
therefore yielded to their request—though re
luctantly--and will remain among ns.

Flirtation 1 have always considered this
word as of modern manufacture, from the
! verb active—namely, to move rapidly to and
fro, as a lady’s fan. I have somewhere met
with following :
*• The expressive word starvation was first
uttered by Lord Advocate for Scotland, (Dun
das,) in recommending measures for subduing
the revolted Americans ; and the still more
expressive word dirt idon, was first dropped
from the lips of the beautiful lady Francis
Shirley, the favorite of Lord Chesterfield.'’
To “flirt a fan was a common expression
in the last age.. Hence, it came to be ap
’ plied to the affected movements of the head,
etc., employed by a lady who is desirous of
pleasing or attracting. The fan itself, if one
be earned, is usually brought in'o play on
such occasions

FOR THE « SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.’’
_
Richmond, Oct. 6.—Large quantities of val
uable seasonable clothing, comforts and neces
saries for our soldiers are daily received and
forwarded by Government authorities to spe
cial agents here, from all parts of the South,
for regiments, companies and individual sol
diers.
Fully 8000 Marylanders are now in the Con
federate army.
The rumored landing of a large federal force
I at Oceuquan Creek turns out to be untrue
Only about 1,500 were landed, and they were
quickly withdrawn.
The federals are arresting men and women
at Wheeling having secession proclivities.
The following dispatch has been received
from Gen. Henry R. Jackson, at the War De
partment :
"Camp Bartow, Green Brier River, Oct. 3.
The enemy attacked us this morning in con
siderable force—estimated at 5,000, with six
pieces of artillery of longer range than any we
have. Atter a bot fire of four and a half hours,
and heavy attempts to charge our lines, he
was repulsed—evidently with considerable
loss. We bad no cavalry to pursue him on his
retreat The loss on our side is inconsidera
ble,
A fuller report will be given through the
regular channel. 1
For several days my correspondence with 1
Gen. Loring has been interrupted.
The enemy’s force was superior to ours, but
we had the advantage in position.
HENRY R. JACKSON,
Brig. Gen. Commanding.
Wilmington, Oct. 6.—An authentic letter
from an officer on board the steamer Raleigh,
says that the Curlew and the Raleigh cap- '
tured the federal steamer Fanny’ the evening i

on board. None were killed or wounded on
either side. The steamer and her cargo are

Nashville Oct. 5.—A correspondent of the J

The rebels hereabouts are now acting on the (

ter where they are most assailable. Affairs

ted intense indignation among the Union men,
but great rejoicing among the secessionists.

Notice!
ALL persons indebted to the undersigned
are earnestly solicited to make immediate
payment, as I will, in a short time, leave for
the war, and am desirous of closing out my
books before leaving.
