1 be Contention of the Press.
Let not our brethren of the press neglect to
attend the convention here on the 12th inst
Tne Pi ess is suffering for want of consultation
wuh i'S members from all parts, and concert
of acuon upon some measures of the highest
m yne t
I ' r a< Ter.boraph. Our present arrange
ments are very unsatisfactory to us, and to the
whole daily press of the Confederate States.
Wo earnestly believe better arrangements can
b made if we will all ootne together and con
sult upon the matter. Telegraphic news is
furnished to the press by a single gentleman,
who has undertaken the enterprise upon his
own hook; and while we wish to say nothing
ag'iuet him individually, or tho fidelity with
wall which he labors to furnish us with news,
we 'eel very sure the press would be more sat
isfactorily served, if its members wonld unite,
make their own contracts and arrangements
to obtain news, employ and send to any de
sired points their own agents, or dismiss them
at pleasure, Ac.
Wo want a contract with all the telegraph
companies in the Confederate States, to have
the lull use ol all their lines from any one
point to any other, so that news can always
be sent by the most direct route, and not be
su ject to vexatious delays, receiving the
n, vr 3 by mail in advance cf the telegraph, as ice
do every day. News from Memphis, if sent us
pta UnaUuuooga, would always reach us early
—at least the same day it was sent. As it is
now sent, via New Orleans, Montgomery, Ac.,
it is invajiably one day, and sometimes two
d, ys old before we get it.
II. I’apsr.—We want the press to unite
their eneigiesand capital, and adopt some
me. hud by which a more adequate and less
uoci’riaiu snpply of paper can be obtained—
after the manner of the plan adopted by the
1 tie Railroad Convention at Richmond. This
Is a very serious question. Let every news
paper and publishing house in the Confeder
al e Siates come here on the 12th instant, and
cumuli on this eulject.
III. Mails, Postage, &o.—We are very
sure some plan could be devised that would
n t he ui juet or injurious to the Government
in ihe least, that would relieve us of the on
erous burdens, and great injustice, which our
jreBvn' postage laws impose upon us; and we
feet sure that a recommendation from the
publishers in Convention assembled, would
have us influence upon our Congress. News
papers are Dot only taxed immoderately high
fur postage, but we are forbidden to send
them to subscribers or dealers by any other
means than through (he mail, or if by other
tneaus, we must first pay the postage on
them. This is a tax on intelligence—the food
of the mind-a usurpation and an interfer
ence with private rights which is inconsis
tent with free Gavernment. We can devise
a better plan. Let it be done and urged up-
ou our Congress.
Tru ro are several other highly important
imeresis that the assembled press ought to
oousuli about, and arrange, and which we
will suffer for if we do not. Then let every
newspaper be represented here on the 12th
instant.
A >igu aud Acknowledgment.
0 i the announcement of the defeat of the
Confederates at Fort Donelson, the prioe of
potk at Cincinnati advanced from ^9 to $12
per On}., the Yankees supposing they would
soou be able io open a big trade with Tennes
see. How grievously they have been disap*
p .in'e l is evidenced by the fact, that the
price has again rapidly declined, and by the
f pilowiug a-knowledgment of the Cincinnati
E queer, which in its ‘‘talk on change” on
the 1st instant, says-
“Tae principle ‘talk’ to-day, was in regard
to tne occupancy of Columbus and the open
ing of ihe trade of the South. The disloyal
ly of i he people of Clarksville and other
SoU'heru points, tends to dishearten those
who, a few days since, were confident that
the irade with most of ihe posts on the Mis
sissippi. Tennessee aud Cumberland rivers,
would, within sixty days, be fully open to
the c mmiTce of Cincinnati. With these
vi :ws s ,me d»ys since, large purchases were
made cf the product of the hog, which to
sell io.day would entail a heavy lose on the
seller.”
Pickens County.
On the 4ih instant, the militia of this
county assembled at Jasper. The Governor's
requisition was for 100 men. At 10 o’clock,
the line being formed, a call was made, When
1ST men promptly stepped out. A short but
fi-ry and ^atriotio speech was made by the
Colonel of the regiment, after which the vol
uceers marched to the Court House and 34
men we r a '-drafted" out of the number to
stag at home. Three cheers for Pickens.
Limiting the Cotton Crop by Euw.
The Constitutionalist, in view of the tre- !
mendous interests at stake in this war—eve- j
ry thing worth Jiving for; the fact that Ten- j
nessee and Kentucky, and all ihe food pro
ducing West is cut off from us; and the pos
sibility of our being starved into submission
—nay, the very great probability and almost
certainty of that being the result, unless our
farmers plant corn and not cotton; advocates
the enactment by Congress at once, of a law,
taxing every acre of land planted in cotton
over a certain limit, say enough to make half
a bale to the hand, so high that it will
amount to a prohibition.
If it is necessary to resort to any such a
measure to secure the raising of a large crop
of corn and pork, we will favor it; but we
don’t believe it is neoessary. We are very
sure that a more patriotic class of men than
the planters, capnot be found, and our own
opinion is, that nothing is needed to induce
them generally fo abandon the planting of
cotton during this war, than to show them
the great danger to the country—the untold
interests which are at stake, and that the re
sult of the present contest depends as much,
if not more upon them raising food, than up
on the operations of the army. Our judg
ment is, that forty-nine out of every fifty
farmers will abandon the idea of raising cot
ton, if they are made sensible of this faot.
But if it should be apparent that the farm
ers will disregard their duty in this matter
we shall favor the enactment of such a law;
and if it comes to this, we shall favor its ap
plication to other classes and pursuits as well
as farmers and agriculture.- Let us have no
class legislation. Let us not force a certain
class of our citizens to do their duty while
we suffer others to go scot free with permis
sion to follow their selfish interests to the de
triment of the country’s good. Let the law
which compels farmers to plant corn, fix the
price of groceries, osnaburgs, shirtings,
jeans, factory yarn, and hired labor. The
country is suffering and bleeding from the
heartlessness of speculators and extortioners,
who prey upon its vitals and grind the face
of the poor. If farming must be regulated
by law, let merchandise and the mechanic
arts have the same force applied io them, and
their devotees be made also to know and do
their duty to their country and to their fel
low-men.
The South, when subjugated shall pay all
tl e expet.se; cf the war upon her rights.’—

Whiskey, Stand from Under.
Gen. Henry R. Jaekson, in command of
the Slate forces at Savannah, has, under or
ders from the Governor, taken into the ser
vice of the State an organized body of men,
under command of Captain L. Goodwin, and
styled “The Cite Guard,” and placed them
under the immediate oommand of Gen. Wm.
H. T. Walker.
Gen. Jackson, in his orders to ibis compa
ny, cana instructions to the following
extract from Gov. Brown’s late proclamauon,
closing up the distilleries :
“I strictly enjoin upon each officer in com
mand of any portion of the troops now in
the service Of this State, to use all his power
and influence fbr the suppression of the use
of intoxicating liquors by the soldiers under
his control. And I direct each General in
command to see that the army regulations
against drunkenness are stringently enforced
among the officers under his command, and
that all quantities of intoxicating liquors
brought near the army for sale, be immedi
ately seized and emptied upon the ground.
He then truly remarks ;
“ As it is wholly idle to attempt the sup
pression of the use of intoxicating liquors
among the soldiers so long as the officers, by
evil example, hold out temptation and create
discontent among the men in their immediate
charge.”
He therefore directs all officers and soldiers
of the division “ to put under immediate ar
rest, or instantly to prefer charges against,
any officer of whatsoever rank who may be
found under the effects of intoxicating
drink."
As any quantity of intoxicating liquor,
brought within the city of Savannah for sale,
so long as the army, whether State or Con
federate, remains near it, will be subject to
the injunction of his Excellency, such im
portation is hereby forbidden, under the pen
alty therein specified ; and, with a view to
the surer enforcement of this order, hence
forward the sale of intoxicating liquors in
all bar-rooms or groceries, whether under li
cense or not, will be suspended.
Brigadier General Walker is especially
charged with the execution of all the provis
ions of this order.
By order of
HENRY R. JACKSON,
Major General Cum’dg.

A Matter That Should Be Attended To.
Our readers no doubt remember the sur
prise created throughout the South a few
months since, by the arrival of the steamer
Pink Mard’e at Nashville, with two barges
laden with machinery for a new cotton mill
at McMinnville, Tenn. The machinery was
from New England, and it came through un
der a special permit from the Secretary of
the United States Treasury. The Tennessee
authorities would not permit it to be landed,
bat after a few weeks delay the accommoda
ting government at Richmond gave full per
mission for its transhipment to McMinnville
and the return to Yankeedom of the steamer
Pink Xardle and her crew.
The factory is now in full operation, and
we hear that one of its managers is now in
the northern part of Georgia or Alabama,
buying up all the cotton he can procure, and
endeavoring to ship it to McMinnville as rap
idly as possible—a considerable quantity
having already gone forward. Now, as Mc
Minnville is at present virtually within the
Federal lines, and all the cotton sent there
is palpably for the use and benefit of the
Yankees, we submit if it is not the duty of
the Confederate authorities to instantly stop
the ehipment of the staple in that direction.

Mxxrnii, Teas., March 4.
* You were adviied by my letter of yesterday,
written from Stevenaons, North Alabama, of
my intention to proceed by the next train to
Huntsville, the future headquarters of Gen.
Johnston, but on my arrival there, at half-
past two o’clock last night, I came in posses
sion of information which decided me to come
directly on to this place. I am too larte, how
ever, I foar to be present at the battle which,
I was told, would take place ts-day.
New Madrid is 165 miles above Memphis,
and is situated in a bend of the Mississippi
river, on the Western or Missouri side. The
place is protected against a flank movement
on the north side by a bayou, and on the south
by a curve of the river, which sweeps around
it to the left. With the assistance of our gun
boats, whieh ean run up the bayou on the
right, and around the bend of the river to the
left, sufficiently near to participate in the
action, it is thought that our forces are fully
able to hold the place and repulse any attaek
that may be made upon the position. Should
it be found necessar/, reinforcements can be
easily sent down from Island No. 10, which is
only ten miles above.
Columbus has been evacuated, as you were
informed by my letter of yesterday The
work of removing the armament, stores and
other property at the place, was commenced
several days ago, and completed on Saturday
last. Everything of value was saved. Our
forces have fallen down the river to Island
No. 10, a distance of forty-five or fifty miles.
This is a most judicious step, ss you will rea
dily perceive on an examination of your map.
The following facts may be of some interest
to your readers:
Fort Harris is seven miles above Memphis,
on the TenDes.ee side of the Mississippi river.
Fort Pillow is seventy miles above on the
same side of the river. New Madrid, on the
Missouri side, is one hundred ai*d sixty-five
miles above. Island Nc. 10 is one hundred
and seventy-five miles, and Columbus, on the
Kentucky side, is two hundred and twenty
miles. Thus- yon will perceive that New
Madrid and Island No. 10 are within support
ing distance of each other by'water. It is of
the utmost importance, however, that our
position at New Madrid should be maintained,
as the loss of that point would probably even
tuate in the abandonment of the Island above.
With both banks of the river above and be
low in the possession of the enemy, it would
be difficult, if not impossible, for us to hold
the Island. The avorage width of the river
is about one mile, and the Island is nearly
midw&y, if I am correctly informed.
But I have just arrived, and am too much
fatigued to write you further tc-night, unless
it be to say, upon the highest military author
ity, that the Valley of the Mississippi is now
considered safer, and our position more satis
factory, than they were two weeks ago. In
■“AAitio,. 1° iuf|«w -.poet nf affairs up
the river, there is nfiw & tremendous rush of
armed men to thereicne all through the Val
ley. Let the Atlantic and G It States come
up to their duty in the same prompt and de
termined manner, and our recent d casters
will soon be forgotten amidst the shouts of
yietory. P. W. A.

The Women Forever.
The abolitionists of Cincinnati desecrated
the 22d of February by what they called a
celebration and illumination Mrs. Dickerson
(a true Southern woman, notwithstanding she
is the wife of Capt. Diekeraon, a Quartermas
ter in the Federal army,) who was boarding
at the Burnett Houae, declined, in the absence
of her husband, to permit the windows in her
room to be illuminated. For this she was de
nounced as a “ seaeaher” and grossly insulted
by Mr. Johnson, a clerk of tke house, and a
Mr. Barbour, a boarder. Indignant at this
infamons and unmanly treatment, Mrs Dick
erson immediately left the Burnett House and
sought the protection of a friend who resided
near the city. When Capt. Dickerson return
ed and was made acquainted with the eireum
staneea, he inflicted summary chastisement
on both Johnson and Barbonr, damaging the
frontispiece of the latter individual quite se
riously, and bunging both his peepers in the
most artistic style. For this he was brought
before the Police Court, and pleading guilty
he was fined $35 for assault and battery which
he cheerfully paid.
Elbert County.
The Governor called for 86 man from this
county; on the 4th instant, 90 men volun
teered. They elected Dr. George Eberhart,
Captain; A. Bailey, T. M. Turner, and J. A.
Sanders, Lieutenants. The Company went
to Big Shanty from this place yesterday.
Besides these, a new Company of 50 men
volunteered and were promptly formed, to be
ready for the next requisition.
And besides these also, one hundred and
forty men have lately gone from the county
as reeruits to fill the ranks of old Companies
This haathinned some portions of the coun
ty. We received a letter from a young man
yesterday, who is Postmaster at one of the
PoBt Offices in Elbert, and therefore can’t be
well spared tromAhe neighborhood, and who
is also staying behind to take care of a wid
owed mother and his sisters, while his broth
ers have gone to the war. In this letter he
stated that he was Ihe only young man left
in his Militia District. A
Sinee the occupation of Nashville, the
Lincoln authorities have arrested Hon. Albert
G. Rhea, State Senator from Logan county,
Kentucky, and Rev. Edwin Stephenson, Pres
ident of the State Female College, at Russel
ville, and have sent them to Fort Lafayette
to be held as political prisoners. Mr. Rhea
is a brother of Lieut. Rhea, of Cel. Bate’s
Tennessee regiment, and of this city.
Sketch of Xashvllle.
Nashville is the capital of Tennessee, and
seat of justice of Davidson couniy. It is a
city and port of entry, and is situated on the
Cumberland river, two hundred miles above
its junction with the Ohio. The population
of Nashville before the revolution was about
24.000. The city is chiefly built on the south
side of the river, on the slopes and at the
foot of a hill rising about two hundred feet
above the water- The Cumberland is navi
gable for sieamboats of 1,500 tons for fifty
miles above the city, and by smaller boats to
the falls, five hundred miles from its mouth.
There are five railroads radiating from Nash-
T jUe vi* •' the Tennessee and Alabama, Lou
isville and Nashville, Memphis and Ohio,
Hickman and Nashville Braneh, Nashville
and Chattanooga, and Nashville and North
western. The city is generally well built,
and there are numerous imposing public and
private buildings. Oae of the finest of the
former is the capitol, situated on an eminence
one hundred and se»enty-five feet above the
river, and constructed inside at d out of a
beautiful variety of fossilifferous limestone.
It is three stories htgh, including the base
ment. At either end of the building there
is an Ionic portico of eight columns, each
four feet and a half in diameter, and over
thirty-three feet high, and at the side there
are also porticos of six columns each. A
tower or cupola rises above the centra of the
roof to the height of two hundred and six
feet from the ground. It has a quadrangu
lar rusticated base, forty two feet high, sur
mounted by a circular cell thirty-seven feet
high and twenty six feet in diameter, with
eight fluted Corinthian columns, designed
from the choragic monumeut of Lysicrates at
Athens. The dimensions of the whole build
ing are one hundred and thirty-eight by two
hundred and thirty eight feet, and the con
struction cost over one million of dollars. It
is approaebed by four avenues, which rise
from terrace to terrace by broad marble
steps. The edifice is considered the hand
somest State Capitol in the Union.
The new Court House is a large building,
on the public square, with an eight columned
Corintnian portico at each end. and a four
eolumned portico at each side. The State
Bank is a handsome Doric buildiog Among
the other permanent edifices are the Jail, the
Penitentiary, Theatre, Odd Fellows’ and Ma
sonic Halls, University and school-houses
There are two fine bridges over the Cum.-
berlanl river- one a railroad bridge, of wood,
with an immense draw 280 feet, and two sta
tionary span j , each 200 feet. This bridge
was finished in 1859, at a cost of $240,000
The other is a wire suspension bridge, of
more than 700 feet span and 110 feet above
the water. It was begun in 1850, and cost
about $100,000. The oity water-works were
constructed in 1833, and the total expenses
up to 1861 has been more than $500,000.—
The water is raised from the river to four
reservoirs, which have an aggregate capacity
of one million six hundred thousand gallons.
Gas was introduced into the city in Februa
ry, 1850. Among the public institutions,
the most important is the Nashville Universi
ty, incorporated in 1785 under the name of
Davidson Academy, and iu 1806 as Cumber
land College. It received its present title in
1826. It had, during the recent prosperous
times, before the rebellion, about 200 stu
dents in the literary department, and 400 in
the medical school. The literary depart
ment was united iu 1855 with the Western
Military -Institute, and took the latter name.
The students receive, in addition to their
classical education, a quasi military training.
Tlie xoniu building is a handsome Gothic edi
fice of stone. It has a library of fifteen thou
sand volumes. The medical department,
opened in 1850, also occupies a fine building,
and possesses an extensive museum, besides
having the charge of a valuable mineralogi-
cal cabinet of twenty thousand specimens —
Shelby Medical College is a new and flour
ishing institution. The female academy,
founded in 1816, has about 450 pupils. A
public system went into operation in 1855,
and there are now three large schools and a
theological seminary I" The Historical Socie
ty has a good museum and library. The
State Library and Capitol have forty thou
sand volumes, and the Mechanic’s Library
Association was formed in 1860. The prin
cipal benevolent institutions are the City
Hospital, Protestant and Catholic Orphan
Asylums, House of Industry, Hospital of the
Sisters of Charity, Work-house established
in 1860, and the Tennessee Blind Asylum,
founded in 1844. The Penitentiary is a hand
some stone edifice, built around an open
oourt, and has about 400 convicts. There
are twenty-seven churches, including a Ro
man Catholic Cathedral; eight banks, a sa
vings bank, three insurance companies, and
several large hotels, including St. Cloud and
the Maxwell House. The latter will accom
modate six hundred guests.
Nashville has a paid Fire Department, with
three (team fire engines, which were intro
duced in 1860. The periodical press com
prises five daily, eight weekly and eight
manthly publications.
The commerce of Nashville is very large,
being carried on by river and railroads, and
by turnpike roads, to the construction of
which the city has devoted a great deal of at
teniion. The revenue of the port amounts to
about $40,000 per annum ; but the govern
ment has not yet erected a Custom House in
the city. The average annual shipments
are:
30.000 bales of cotton.
6,000 hogsheads of tobaceo.
2.000. 000 bushels of wheat.
6.000. 000 do. of Indian oorn.
10 000 casks of bacon.
25.000 hogp.
2,500 tierces of lard.
The neighborhood of Nashville is a famous
stock-raising country, and has a high repu
tation for blood horses, jackasses, mules, cat
tle, sheep, hogs and cashmere goats. The
leading business of the city is in dry goods,
hardware, drugs and groceries. Book pub
lishing is carried on more extensively than
in any other Western town, and the publish
ing house of the Southern Methodist Confer
ence is one of the largest book manufactories
in the United States. The manufactories are
less important than the commercial interests.
There are three flour mills, eight or ten plan
ing mills, and eight or ten machine shops.—
The value of the taxable property here is
$15,000,000. Seven miles from the city is
the State Lunatic Asylum, an J twelve miles
east is the Hermitage, the celebrated resi
dence of Andrew Jackson. The municipal
government is vested in a mayor, eight aider-
men and sixteen eouncilmen. The first ner-
manent settlement was made in 1778-’80; *the
town was incorporated in 1784. received its
charter in 1806. and was made the State cap
ital in 1812. Nashville is two hundred and
eighty miles Northeast of Memphis, two buns
dred and six miles southwest of Lexington,
in Kentucky, and six hundred and eighty-
four miles from Washington Citv.—Cor V

of the 24th Feb., says:
“There is much bitterness of feeling in

and Pillow, who, in such a cowardly manner,
stole away from the fortifications at night
and abandoned their deluded followers to
their fate as prisoners of war. We learn up-
on good authority that a Colonel of one of the
Tennessee regiments proposed to General
Grant in all earnestness that, if he would
permit him to select twenty-five men from his

The commission of Major General in the

grudgingly bestowed, has been forwarded to
this eminent patriot and successful hero.—
When the nomination was sent to ihe Senate
the usual formality of reference to a commit
tee was dispensed with, and the nomination
was at once and as it were by acclamation
confirmed. Granted earlier, it might have
roused Missourians and created a favorable
diversion, and saved us from the disasters of
