The Convention of the Press.
Let not our brethren of the press neglect to
attend the convention here on the 12th inst
The Press is suffering for want of consultation
w ,ih its members from all parti, and concert
of action upon some measures of the highest
mo me't.
I, Tub Tbleobaph- Our present arrange
ments are very unsatisfactory to us, and to the
whole daily press of the Confederate States.
1, earnestly believe better arrangements can
b i made if we will all come 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
^iinst him individually, or the fidelity with
nth which he labors to furnish us with news,
we leel very sure the press would be more sat
isfactorily served, if its members would unite,
make their ow n contracts and arrangements
to obtain news, employ and send to any de
sired points their own agents,^or dismiss them
at pleasure, Ae.
We want a contract with all the telegraph
companies in the Confederate 8tates, to have
the lull use of 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
subject to vexatious delays, receiving the
new* by mail in advance of the telegraph, as we
do every day. News from Memphis, if seht us
via Chattanooga, 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
days old before,we get it.
II. Paper.—We want the press to unite
their energies and capital, and adopt some
method by which a more adequate and less
uncertain supply of paper can be obtained
after the manner of the plan adopted by^tbe'
late Railroad Convention at Richmond. This
is a very serious question. Let every news
paper and publishing house in the Confeder
ate Slates come here on the 12th instant, and

Cum heel as d Gap, Tenn
Dear Confederacy:
It is 10 o’clock at night
ground is hushed, as it were, into the silence
of death; and I sometimes think what u sim
ilarity exists between the temporal sleep and
the last long slumber of the grave! This
stillness is unbroken either by rude jests or
jovial melee of soldiers; for we all feel the
necessity of improving the tew short hours
of repose allotted us, for when night comes
the wearied recruit, Worn out by the toils
with working parties, seeks his quarters.—
And here I would remark, that how men can
live in tents in such terribly cold weather as
we have had here, I cannot imagine. They
have erected rude chimneys, composed of
stloks and mud in their quarters, and some
procure a little more warmth by the fire in
this poor apology for a' fire plaoe. It has
been snowing here nearly three £days, and
the large flakes driving through the Gap and
drifting far down in the plain beneath in
large heaps, whilst crouching and shivering
in and around the tents stand groups of sol
diers; and when night comes, huddling to
gether to get a little warmth from a few blan
kets and animal heat. Suoh bitter cold guets
as we have ! and such frost which is continue
ally floating like mist in the air, cutting the
face and almost blinding the sentries! Away
up in the clouds far above this Gap, where
the foot of man seldom treads ! I can imag
ine the lonely soldier, watching with eager
eye, and piercing into the darkness to try
and discover if any lurking foe is near, or if
bodies of troops approach. He is shivering
with the cold whistling winds penetrating al
most his very vitals ! He knows that there
is danger near, and that vigilance is the price
of liberty; that we are looking to him to
warn ( us if the foe approaches, and he feels
a satisfaction when he knows that he has
done his whole duty as a soldier. There are
many, a great many of just such men in our
army, and I must congratulate the whole
country on having such material at this post
Cheerfully every one does his duty, and I
never have heard a single complaint from a
soldier or officer in this whole command
will take occasion to mention in subsequent
letters, the gratitude due by this Government
to soldiers who are wearing their lives away
gradually for a nation’s independence
Were I at liberty, I could give you and our
friends at home, an intereating account of
our movements here, and could tell things
that possibly might create anxiety in all; and
again could tell things that would make their
hearts rejoice at the prospect of our success
if attacked here. The enemy are near our
border here, and the inquiry is, “Why don’t
they come?” The truth is, they are human
and to advance upon us in such weather as
this is impossible. It would require the ge
nius of an hundred Napoleons to produce a
not be ui just or injurious to the Government
in the least, that would relieve us of the on
erous turdeDS, and great injustice, which onr
present postage laws impose upon us; and we
feel sure that a recommendation from the
publishers in Convention assembled, would
have its influence upon our Congress. News
papers are not only taxed immoderately high
for postage, but we are forbidden to send
them to subscribers or dealers by any other
means than through the mail, or if by other
means, 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.
Tnere are several other highly important
interest? that the assembled press ought to
consult about, and arrange, and which we
will suffer for if we do not. Then let every
newspaper be represented here on the 12th
instant.
We are not Mistaken,
lu the estimate we placed upon the farmers
in our article yesterday morning. We no
tice in our exchanges that oounty meetings
are being held by the farmers all over the
State, and resolving To plant no cotton, or at
any rate but little of it. It is one outburst
of popular enthusiastic patriotism by the
farmers all over Geergia, to come up to the
necessities of the country in this hour of our
greatest peril. If they plant and raise food
and provender and stock only this year, we
shall be safe; for our greatest danger is in
being starved out Again we repeat, that a
more patriotio class of men than the farmers
does not exist in our country. All honor to
such noble evidences of devotion to our high
est interests.

The Wreck of the Old Union.
We republish to-day, from the Christian
AJpocate, a poem of rare merit from the
graceful pen of Rev. E P. Birch. He is
widely known throughout the Confederate
Stales as the author of “The Devil's Visit to
Old Abe” and “ Yankee Doodle’s Ride to
Richmond,” which originally appeared in our
columns. He has already achieved for him
self a name that is recorded high upon the
tablers of fame, and will live while the devo
tees of the Muse adore her richest gems. He
is the only great poet which this revolution
has thus far developed.
the Churches act, and my word for it, and J
the nation’s word for it, we will then havo ne J
laek of material for casting fine ordnance. I
would not think this sacrifice upon the part
of the Churches a sin, rather a blessing
should follow on the people who sacrifice all,
and.leaVe nojstcna unturned to gain their in
dependence. We need cannon—and those ef
the largest calibre, so let ns have them. —
What say you?
The health of our Battalion is very good,
considering the exposure we have undergone
—only 80 are reported sick to-day. We get
your paper regularly here, and 1 sead yo mo
ney lu day from a soldier, who says he mast
have your paper. Your sheet is ear latest
news medium, even ahead of the Richmond
papers. We are on picket duty to-morrow,
and will necessarily have something to re
lieve this monotony. T. D. W.
Hart Uouqty—The McMullan Guards.
Hart oounty patriotism is considerably
above par, and worthy of the heroieand un
daunted courage of the brave “Whig woman"
whose memory the name of the county is de
signed to perpetuate. This county has a vo
ting populating of about 800. She has now
three full Companies in serviee ia Virginia.
The Governor’s late requisition was for 84
men. A Company of 108 promptly volun
leered, and organized by electing our old and
mnch esteemed friend, John G. McMullan,
as their Captain. This is good evidence that
the men aim to serve their country to the
best of their ability, for a more competent
man than Capt, MoMuilan, could not have
been found. He is sober, industrious, wateh
ful, energetic, and sagacious, add wo feel
sure that no man would make a better or
more efficient CaptaiB.
After this Company was formed, another
Company of 80 men volunteered and elected
Capt. J. E Strickland, aud are holding them*
selves in readiness for the next call; and af
ter this, sixty men enlisted as recruits to fill
up the ranks of companies now in service.—
If any county can beat Hart, we don’t know
of it.

The Sad Side of the Picture
The following private letter, written by a
former attaohe of the New York Post office,
presents another side of the viotory gained at
Fort Donelson from that which is generally
contemplated:
Fort Dokklson, Tenn., Feb. 17th, 1862.
My Dear Father—Sad, lonely and down
hearted, I attempt to WTite a few lines, to let
you know I am alive and unhurt. We have
had a most bloody fight; and there must havs
been five thousand to seven thousand men
killed and wounde,d on both sides. But the
enemy surrendered on Saturday evening, we
taking about thirteen thousand prisoners.—
But, dear father, the hardest part of the story
is that out of eighty-five men in my com
pany, only seven eame out—the most whole
sale slaughter that was ever heard of.
My company was the color company, at
which the Rebels took particular aim ; as fast
as one man who carried it would be shot an-

Th* following Is almost a literal <l»»eripU0B of a
dream that occurred to the author In the Pall of 18W -
It made a deep impression upon hi* mind at the time,
which ha* been greatly »trengthened by the current of
passing event*.
In peaceful slumber* of the night,
I dreamed a strange, wild, fearful dream.
Which floated o'er my mental sight.
Like shadow* o’er a sun-lit stream.
The Summer’s rosy smlls had fled;
The Autumn’s leaf wae brown and ter*.
Tb* withered flewere lay cold and dead.
On every spot they bloomed to cheer.
The dreary clouds hung dark and high.
Like pall* upon a sunless sky;
Low rung the mournful, plaintive bree*e
IU solemn note* thro’ leaflees trees.
Th* earth Itaelf wae vailed in gloom,
And nature’s velce In fear supprest
t. waiting for some fearful doom,
To fall upon her silent breisL
A scene so dark with terror’s reign,
So fraught with fear, suspense and pale,
I hope I ne’er may see again.
1 stood upon a crowning hlght,
With hills and pi* ne outspread bolow,
And teeming cities full in sight,
And people rushing to and fro—
As if some sudden, nameless fright,
Had filled the land with dread and we.
I eaw the “Federal City,” nigh—
Its Capitol and Congress halls—
l saw the tall dome tow’rlng high
Above Its gleaming marble walls:
I saw a spire that reached th* skies,
Above this dome sublimely rise.
Until Its summit, la the blue,
Of azure light, wae lest to view.
A flag of “Stars and Stripe#” was bung
Upon this spire sublimely high—
Par o’er the land It proudly swung,
And swept Its folds along the sky.
A countless multitude below—
AU brerthless, swaying t# and fro—
Gazed up with fear upon the ecene,
As If that outspread flag had been
The emblem of a nation’s wo.
1 saw a tall, gaunt straDgsr come,
With aspect, wild, and manner bold,
And climbing to the lofty dome,
Unloose the banner from Its hold,
And tear Its wide-spread folds asunder—
Then, sunk the pallid sun to reet,
'Mid gath’rlng storm-clouds, In the west,
And angry ikies, and rolling thunder.
1 looked again: and on my sight.
All gleaming with electric light,
And darker, than the shades of night.
Up rolled the eleuds In fearful form.
The winds with anthem, deep and loud
Pealed their dread notes, from cloud to cloud
The giant.forest trees were bow’d,
And reeling In the storm.
The lofty spire upon th* dome.
Of those proud halls—onoe Freedom's home—
Now swayed beneath the fearful blast,
As tempests sway the vessel’s mast,
On storm-tossed Ocean billows cast.
It recked, and reeled, and fell below :
Its scattered fragments strewed the ground,
Spreading dismay, and ruin round,
FUling the land with wail, and wo.
The air was dark, with wreck and gloom,
And terror ruled the earth beneath— ,
A terror darker than the tomb,
And deeper than the shade* of death.

With horror pictured in each face;
Cavalry Companies.

taking this Gap, and passing into Tennessee
to take possession of our line of Railroads,
is.no nearer being carried out than when
first made. Yet the confidence we have in
being able to repulse the enemy, has in no
measure relaxed our vigilance. On the con-
trary, we have increased it, in order tnat
they may get a good drubbing when they ar
rive. They had retreated at last accounts
to Barboursville, about - 25 miles from here,
and possibly may be waiting for reinforce
ments; for to attack us with, equal numbers,
they dare not do, and when they get ready,
(maik my words,) they will come and try to
dislodge us with overwhelming numbers —
Depend upon it we will contest this post to
the death, and we have all resolved to repulse
the invader, or die in the trenches. We will
try and retrieve somewhat our losses at Don
elson, and the confidence of our Commander
in our determination 1 know is unfunded.—
Our battalion so far, has the post of honor in
lhe line of battle as established; and I pre
diet that other jewels will grace the crown,
placed there in blood by the eons of Georgia!
The forces of the enemy is variously esti
mated at from 7 to 40 thousand, but of course
this is doubtful, for I hardly think the coun
try West of this mountain could sustain an
army of such numbers. This section is poor
enough, and the Western portion in Kentucky
is still more so; nothing b«t a mountainous
range for miles
I see that my prediction in a former letter
concerning a draft on Georgia has been real
ized. 1 hope, for the honor of my native
State, she will not suffer it to be said of her
sons, that they were drawn by lot to see who
would fight. I have every confidence in the
patriotism of the Empire State, and can
hardly believe she would submit to this draft,
but will'volunteer rather as one man. I want
to call your attention to a matter which Icon
sider of vital interest to Georgia, suggested
to me by an old officer, who has seen service,
and if it meets your approbation and others,
circulate and start the ball. Before I men
tion it, I would remark, that 1 hava as great
reverence for religion and the customs at
tending various congregations, as any one,
and would not have your readers think me as
casting reflections upon the cause of our Sa
viour. I am told that bell metal is the finest
in the world for artillery, and that for beau
ty of finish and accuracy of aim, it cannot
be surpassed. Now, what I propose is, that
the various Churches in our State make a
tender to Gov. BrowD, of all bells that they
have. If we cannot, in this time of war, go
to the house of God without this notice, and
habit of waiting until the Church bell rings,
onr prayers will never ascend roof high.—
There could be enough bells shipped to Rome,
Ga., and there tc be turned into cannon, from
off the line of Railroads, sufficient to cast
one hundred pieces of splendid artillery. Let

Wm. Coventry H. Waddell, Esq., New York,
How we are to be Treated when the Yan
kees conquer us.
Mr. Trumbull, ia bis late speech in the U
S. Senate, said:
But what seems to embarrass some minds
is the difficulty of treating these men both
as citizens and traitors. These rebels in the
Southern States occupy just exactly that po
sition. When an insurrection assumes suoh
formidable proportions as this has, and when
armies are arrayed against the government
and against each other, all the writers on in
ternational law agree that the rebels are en
titled to be treated as belligerents and ene
mies ; and we have been treating the rebels
at the South as belligerents during the pres
ent war. We have sent flags of truce to them
and taken them as prisoners, and whenever a
rebellion beeomes of each magnitude as to be
entitled to be called a civil war, the parties
are to be governed by the ordinary rules of
war while it lasts, and in the pro3eoution of
such a war the government is bound to ob
serve the same rules as it wonld observe in a
war with an independent nation. But that
does not prevent the government, after the
war is over, from trying as a traitor any per
son that may be in its hands, and that is the
way, I take it, which this rebellion is finally
to be put down. Nobody expects to try nil
the 300,000 men now in arma against the gov
ernment and bang them, though they are un
doubtedly traitors. But we will give them
the rights of belligerents, and take them as
prisoners of war, and when they return to
their loyalty again, those who have been se
duced from it, we will release them ; but the
ringleaders of this rebellion, the instigators
of it, the conspirators who have set it on
foot, will, I trust, be brought to the halter.

Reading Matter on Every
lu wild despair, In every p!»co.
I taw proud cities laid in duet,
Tfcelr stone* in heaps of ruin plied:
The farmer’s plow, all rod with rust,
Where once the blooming harvest smiled.
I saw the ship* deserted lie,
With tatered sail, and rotton hull,
In port where brooding vulture* fly.
And screams, aloft, “the wild sea-gull."
I saw the factories, overgrown
With moss, and weeds, and ruin black,
And locomotives, wrecked and strewn,
Along the old, deserted track.
A desolation deep and wide,
Wae brooding o’er the lonely scene,
Where thrift onoe rolled her busy tide,
And freedom’s happy'home had been.
I looked again: the storm was o'er;
The winds had hushed their sullen roar,
And thunders shook the world no more.
Th* skies above were calm and fair,
And softly breathed th* evening air,
In low, sad plaintive sound;
As if it mourned, In loie despair,
The wreck and ruin, strewed around.
The multitude had fled and gene;
Th* “Federal” streets were bare, and laae r
Ho foot disturbed the silent scene—
Save where the Capitol had keen,
A wretched group had gathered there.
To mourn their lot in mute despair.
Oh ths lone, ruined, crumbling walls.
Where rose the massive Congress h*U*,
A form of wondrous beauty stood,
In mournfu 1, pensive attitude—
A being of celestial grace,
With angel form and lovely fa^-e.
A coronal of gold she wore,
And on its crest insribed before,
I read the name of “Libejett.”
A wreath.of flowers adorned her Jtalx,
Her loose robe floated to the air,
With graceful folds and free.
A moment thus I saw her stand,
With drooping head and upraised hand,
And gaze upon the choerless scene,
With tearful eye and mournful mein,
And then the solemn silence broke,
And thus half musing, half aloud she spoke.
Farewell' my onoe loved home, a long farewell!
Thy land is sad, thy house all desolate:
In every breeze I hear the dying knell.
The mournful prelude of thy future fate—
The prophecy of evils yet to come,
When I have fled from hence to find a brighter home
Tie sad to leave thee in thy shame and we.
And see thy light go down In cheerless gloom;
The’ long I strove to turn aside the blow
That loosed the flood-gates of thy coming
doom—
To cheek the current In ite.onward.flight,
And save a self-doomed race from ruin’s deadly
blight.
But all 1c vain: a blindness deep and dark,
Was o’er the vision of thy people thrown,
And reason’s light had smouldered to a spark.
TUI from each mind lu fading beam* had flown
And left the land d*ser.ed:of Its fame,
Too blind -to see Its loie—too proud to fr.j ft*
shame.
Oh. I could weep, if tears would aught avail.
To see tboe thus betray my saered true*;
To see, so soon, thy early promise fail—
Thy ruin sealed, thine honor in the dust:
But now, too late, thy madness to deplore,
I turn from thee in wrath, and weep thy doom a*
more.
Ob! I have yearned for the* with aching heart,
** J*antd the mother o’er her erring ehlld
Bat now, Ioto’i ahaU b sundered, and wo part
With grief and shame; for ye with mvdneas j
wild,
Have ealled a beastly tyrant to your throne.
To rule those peerless realms, that onoe were all
my own.
.Alas! that ye, who worship at my shrine.
Should thus debase the records of my fame—
Pollute mine altars with the blood of sr^ine.
And pour contempt upon my honored name;
1 loathe your offerings, and your rights despise ;
Tour hands are stained with blood, your heart* are
full of lies.
The measure ef your guilt b full at last ;
Your crimes for vengeance call, with accents
loud:
A despot’s fetters are around you cast —
Beneath a tyrant’s yoke your necks are bow'd
A race of willing slaves, ye wear th# bands,
And hug the galling chains, ye forged for other
hands.
Loud mourns the land beneath th* iron rule,
‘Of heartless thieves and mercenary knaves;
Tour sovereign lord a beastly, brainless fool—
Fit monarch for a race of cringing slaves.
Tain cowards lead yonr armies to the fight,
Who boast no higher deed* than plunder, theft and
tllght.
The ties which bound you to a nobler race,
Are levered by your own fanatic hands;
And when the storm that now comes on apace (
Hath burst In fury o'er your reeking lands,
And drenched your soli with fratricidal gore,
Year sun shall fade injgloom and set to rise no
more.
And now farewell! beneath yon Southern skies,
Where dwell my noble sons my home shall be,
1 go to bid my lofty temple* rise,
And spread my banners o’er th# brave and
free.
There, shall the God of nation# fix my home,
AndM>less my chosen realms for ages yet to come.
