SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1861.
Red Mark Again.
W e are sending out to all our daily subscri
bers, whose time expires before the Ist No
vember a back number of our paper, with a
< rc«j mark, and the day on which their sub
scription terminates, entered on the margin
us the paper with a rcrf pencil. Let al) 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.
\ud 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.
♦
To Correspondents.
A few words to those who write articles
which they wish to appear in our columns ;
If you write anything of local interest only,
let it be very short; we cannot spare the space
in our paper and pay our printers for setting
up a long article, when we know that only a
few of our readers will take any interest in
it.
When you write anything of general inter
est, make it as short as possible. Strike out all
amplifications. Don’t hang on and hang on,
and spin it out and spin it out, but gather up
your burning thoughts into a focus, and give
the strong points in a few words. Don’t send
us a long article.
If you are going to become offended, if we
decline to publish your communication, don’t
it to us. We don’t want to offend you,
and we had rather take the chances of miss
ing a good article than of giving offense.
Don’t ask us to return your communication
if it is rejected. Save the five cent piece you
would enclose for us to prepay postage on re
turning it. If you have any doubt about our
publishing it, keep a copy. We positively
have not lime to return articles we decline to
publish.
We receive a large number of attempts at
poetry Nine-tenths of these we decline.—
Very few persons who attempt to write poetry
can he convinced that their productions are
sorry. Let all your first attempts at poetry
be submitted to some one of well-known
scholarship and literary attainments, before
offering them to the press. ts
A Proposition.
Wa want each and every one of our numer
als subscribers to consider him or herself our
agent to procure one more subscriber at least
—we care not how many more. Let each pro
cure and send us one. This will be easily
L-ne—will cost each one but little trouble, and
be of great benefit to us, in the aggregate.
Advertising patronage is almost nominal,
and we have no Government or other special
patronage to sustain us. Our enterprize is
standing on its own merits, and we are spend
ing every dollar of our profits to increase the
usefulness and interest of our paper. Other
papers in Georgia have raised their price and
reduced their size to suit the bard times. This
we have not done, and hope we shall not be
compelled to do. We are doing the best we
can for our readers, and, therefore, we the
more confidently appeal to them to assist us
by extending the circulation of the “Confed
eracy. Let our circulation be doubled. This
will greatly enhance our facilities for improv
ing our paper.
More About that Stabbing Affray.
We are informed that the fray between
Thurman and Ennis did not take place at a
drinking saloon, but in front of the grocery
store of Mr. B. Kane, on Marietta street. It
appears they’both came into Kane’s store
drunk, and commenced their fuss, when he
thrust them out, and the fight took place on
the street.
We spoke of it as having occurred at a
“ drinking establishment,” or “doggery,” and so
we wetfi-informed. Mr. Kane does not keep
an establishment of that kind, and we think
it is proper that the fact should be known, to
relieve him from any wrong impressions that
might be drawn by those who do not know.
A Concert at Decatur.
A fine Concert is coming of! in Decatur. The
ladies of that village will be assisted by Barnes
and Hanlon. A lot of those who love a trip
out from the city, and love to aid a good cause,
can go down from here and come back on the
train at 12 o’clock. See advertisement.

Richmond, Oct. 18th.—A letter from Secre
tary Afemtuinger addressed to the receivers of
subscriptions to the Produce Loan, appears
in tbe “ Enquirer” this morning He advises
the Commissioners to continue their efforts to
increase the loan, notwithstanding the block
ade. He says the government'has no control
over the produce itself and does not regulate
tbe time of its sale or tbe price at which it
should be sold ; that the subscription is cofined
to the proceeds of sales, and contains an order
on the commission merchant or factor of the
planter, to pay over to the Confederate govern
ment, the amount subscribed, in exchange for
Confederate bonds.
He says, further, that it is to the interest, of
both the Government and the planter to wait,
until a good price can be obtained, and that
the Government will readily consent to g post
ponment of the sale to get good prices.
Ke then devotes the larger portion of hie
letter to the inquiry that is now so often made,
about the Government extending material aid
to the planter, while the blockade lasts and
the cotton can be sold, lie says no power is
granted to any Department io lend money for
the relief of any interest.
What Congress may do he is unable to state.
There was heavy skirmishing on the Poto
