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 ATTENTION, MILITIA.

That Deserter, * Who came over to us a few days ago from Fort Pickens, says Billy Wilson got the news of the battle of Manassas in that bottle which our boys sent over around that ugly cur dog’s neck. He further says, that on the night they at tacked and burnt our Schooner, they lost four killed and thirteen wounded; and reported that they killed sixty of our men. Tennessee Legislature. When body met on last Monday, Mr. Pickett,’one of the Senators from East Ten nessee-dejected to taking the oath to support the provisional Constitution of the Confeder ate States, on the ground that there was no law authorizing any one to administer such oath. The matter was passed over at the time. The Nashville “ Patriot” says the Senator was allowed to qualify “ in the usual mode." Does this mean that he took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States? That was the “usual mode” before Secession. Ex-Gov. Helm. The “ Intelligencer” of yesterday morning announces that Ex-Gov. Helm of Kentucky is sojourning with friends in this city. We were not before aware of the fact, and since then we have been unable to find out where he is stopping. We think there is some mistake about it. Alabama Legislature. Gov. Moore of Alabama has called an ex tra session of the Legislature, to meet on the 28th instant. —■—■— Trial of Guus. Atlanta, Oct. 10th, 1861. Messrs. Editors: It was my privilege, in company with a number of other gentlemen, to witness, on yesterday, the trial of the im proved breech-loading cannon and swivel made by Mr. Wm. Rushton, of this city. The trial took place at the Stone Mountain, under the direction of Capt. G. W. Lee, of the Wright Legion. The reputation of Capt. Lee as a most skillful gunner was fully sustained by the results of the day. The target was placed on the side of the mountain, at about 1000 yards from the gun. Nine shots were fired, all of which were remarkably fine— three of them striking within a few inches of each other, and almost touching the target; a fourth penetrated the target within a few inch es of the centre. Three shots were then fired oyer the tower on the summit of the mount ain, at the distance of about a mile and a half, and an elevation of over fourteen hundred feet. The whole result was the most complete dem onstration of the superiority of the gun. And every one present felt like congratulating the SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. skillful and energetic inventor for the perfect success of his effort. The swivel, owing to the lateness of the hour, received a more hur ried trial, but enough to satisfy us that in pow er, range and accuracy, it will probably be unsurpassed by any gun of the kind now in use. We are gratified to learn that, the Con federate Government has ordered a number of these guns for arming the Wright Legion, un der the command of Col. A. R. Wright. We venture that no regiment will have more ef fective arms. On our return we stopped at the encamp ment of the Legion and took supper Every thing about the encampment made a most favorable impression on our minds. The health of the men, the order and neatness of the camp, and ab >ve all, the sobriety nud morali ty that prevail, are most pleasant and encour aging features. Soon after supper, the even ingprayers were held in front ot one of the tents, at which h very large proportion of the men were present And this, I learn, is their regular practice every evening, besides divine service on Sabbath. With such men for our soldiers as compose this Legion, and with such mechanical geni us as that of Mr. Rushton to furnish them with arms, we have no fears for the result of our contest. SPECTATOR. Fremont’s Biography. —The Columbus (Ohio) Statesman published, in 1856, the fol lowing as “Col. Fremont’s Biography “ A son without a father—a husband with out a wedding—a millionaire without a dol lar—a statesmen without a speech—a legisla tor almost without a vote—a military chief tain without a battle. Make room for Col. Fremont—the gentleman who is never in the right place at the right time.” The Statesman now thinks Fremont a great good patriot ! Times change, and men change with them. But, Fremont will be the “right man in the right place” when Gen. Jeff. Thompson or Gen. Price captures his bastard body, and that time may be near at hand, un less he shortly makes Manassas speed from Missouri.— Montgomery Mail. We fear that court martial will take him to Washington before Price catches him—Eds. Confederacy. ■ 11 ’■ —♦ Military Candidates for Office. —We fully agree with the Richmond “ Whig” in the following remarks: “ It does seem to us, that there sboi’ld be an army regulation, rig orously interdicting any man who holds a commission in the army from being a candi date for any popular office, while he holds that commission. The non existence of such a regulation must be the result of over sight; for if all, or any large portion of our field officers were candidates for Congress, our ar my would be in danger of a general demoral ization, and our Government of subversion.— Colonel may be arrayed against Colonel, or General against General—which would be the destruction of all discipline ; or the army containing a large portion of the voting pop ulation might elect a majority of Congress, and thereby change the whole character of our institutions. We do not know that there is any authority short of Congress competent to issue such a regulation ; but if there be, its promulgation and enforcement would be bene ficial to the public. - —♦ From the Savannah Republican, Oct. 9th. This sweet poem, which came enclos ed to us yesterday from the far-off mountains of Virginia, will strike a tender chord in the bosom of every soldier : To My Wife. (Accompanying a small Boquet of ]Vdd Elowers.) I plucked these modest wild woo I flowers Upon the mountain’s rugged side, Where oft I muse away the hours Os pleasant morn or eventide. I plucked them as 1 thought of thee, And breathed my vows of love again ; Then let them sweet mementoes be Os all the joys our past has seen. Accept them as a witness true Os my unchanging love for thee, And when thou see’st them, may each hue Awake some tender thought of me. LARKIN. Camp Bartow, Va., Oct. let, 1861. DOST.
