The Editorial Convention.
This body assembled on Wedaead&y, the
12th instant, according to appointment. The
attendance was smaller than was expeoted at
the time the very general response was made
to the call, owing mostly to the disturbed state
cf affairs, and the fact that most of the west
ern p*j ere, which were very deeply interested
in the movement, have lately passed into the
Lands of the enemy.
The Virginia papers also, which had a very
deep interest in accomplishing the objects of
the Convention, were no doubt detained by
the present attitude of affairs and active mil
itary movements in that State The Press of
Charleston, Savannah, Columbus, Augusta,
Macon, Atlanta Memphis, and Knoxville were
represented. One member of the N. 0. Press
was present, and participated in the delibera
tions by invitation of the body, who, however,
stated, that he was not authorized to repre
sent the press of that city in any decisive ac
tion that might be taken.
Wru U. Pritchard, Esq, the telegraphic
new3 agent, was present, and was cordially
invited to a seat in the body. He also repre
sente 1 the Southern telegraph Companies, by
authority from Dr. Wm. 8. Morris the Presi
dent.
Oa motion, Simri Rose, Esq , of the Macon
Journal £ Messenger, was called to the Chair,
and J Heuly Smith, of the Atlanta Southern
Confederacy, was chosen Secretary.
Tne object of the Convention was explain
ed, and after some disenssion and interchange
of ideas, a committee on telegraphic news
wai&ppoiiited, when the body adjourned till

the professional newspaper correspondents,
and to afford all proper facilities for publish

Resolvtd, That we acquiesce in the necessity
of surrounding a correspondent with such res
trictions as shall hold him personally respon
sible for any breach of confidence or courtesy
of which he may be guilty.
Messrs. F. G. deFontaine, of the Charleston
Courier; J. R Sneed cf the Savannah Repub
lican, and J. Henry Smith, of the Southern
Confederacy, Atlanta, were appointed the Com
mittee.
A resolution of thanks to the officers of
the Convention for the discharge of their du*
ties, to the members of the Atlanta Press for
their courtesies, and the Mayer and Council
for the use of the City Hall, was adopted,
and the body adjourned subject to the call of

At night the committee met. By invitation
Mr. Pritchard was present, when all the dif
ficulties connected with telegraphing for the
Press were freely discussed. Mr. Pritchard
explained the troubles that lay in the way of
making such arrangements as the Press and
country desired, showing conclusively that^
owing to the deranged state of the oountry
and the condition of the telegraph companies
—their supplies of necessaries, operators,
&c —such arrangements were impossible at
this time. It appeared that Mr. Pritchard
had labored diligently to secure the bestpos
sible arrangement for the Press with the tel
egraph companies, and that his efforts had
been successful, so far as the terms were con
cerned, with the Southern Lines; but that
he nad not been able thus far to make a sat
isfactory arrangement with the South-Wes
tern Lines.
Oa meeting Thursday morning, it was an
nounced that Mr. Rose had returned home
and would be absent the remainder of the
session. Thereupon Mr. Thomas Ragland, of
the Columbus Enquirer, was chosen Presi
dent.
The committee made no formal report. The
result of their deliberations was generally un
dirstco 1. They introduced the following res
olutions which were unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That in view of the great impor
tanceofthe several subjects brought before
this/ioaveution, and the partial representation
ot the press, caused by the state of the coun
t-y, it is ordered that the business now before
this body lay upon the table, to be acted upon
heie f.er, in an adjourned convention, to be
called by an Executive Committee of the press
heivaiter provided for, at Richmond, at such
time as ihey may deem proper.
Resolved, That an Executive Cammittee of
three be ch 'sen to take charge of the interests
of the press generally, and conduct eorrespon
denes with the President’s of the different tel
egraph companies and others, and arrange
pl*n for an association of the press of the Con
federal « Stites, and report progress at the next
session of this Convention.
The following was unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That H. M. Somerville of the
Memphis Appeal, Wm. Laidlerof the Charles
ton Courier, and Wm. Moseley of the Rich
mond Whig, be appointed an Executive Com
mittee to carry out the objects contemplated
by the foregoing resolution, and that the
President of this body be authorized to fill
any vacancy that may occur in the commits
tee; and that the Secretary be required to
no ify them of their appointment.
The following were also unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, Com-
mander-in-Chief of the Army of the Potomac
has promulgated an order expelling all pro
fessional newspaper correspondents from said
army, and whereas it is a matter of the high
est importance to the press and the people of
the South, that they should be duly represen
ted in the army, and furnished with all intel
ligence not prejudial to the cause or to the
to the policy of the campaign : Be it
Resolved, That a Committee of three be ap
point'd to draft and submit an address, to the
Gonerals of the Confederate army every where,
expressive of the desire of this Convention,
a ■ t respectfully requesting Gen. Johnston, or
• ty other commanding Generals who may
ha e promulgated such an order, to recon
sider Lis or their action with relation to
Our Future.
Whatever that future may be, one thing is
certain: our social condition is to be thorough
ly changed. Heretofore we have been an em
inently pacific people. This remark was es
pecially true of Georgia; even the customary
militia parades, out of the cities, having fallen
into disuse. When this war ends we will have
become a nation of soldiers. The Atlantic
formerly intervened between us and probable
enemies. Hereafter, we shall have probable
enemies on our very borders. We must keep
a large standing army in time of peace. We
must have forts, fortresses, gairisons and gar
risoned towns. These are common-sense views
as to the future.
Why not act upon them now? Why not
begin now a series ol fortifications on the
Northern line of Georgia, at points through
which an enemy may reach us ? If no more,
ought not strong defences to be made at those
points at which the Western A Atlantic Rail
road and the East Tennessee Railroad enter
the State? If we do not, those roads must be
torn up on the advance of the enemy, and we
lose the use of them—an incalculable loss to
us. Suppose we have to tear up the State
Road, how, next winter, are the exclusively
grain growing counties to send their grain
below ? Our people do not seem to sonsider
that our greatest danger is the probable want
of something te eat. Our enemies fearfully
outnumber us. They know full well that when
East Tennessee is overrun, the sole reliance
of the interior and seaboard for grain will be
the trrain growing counties of Georgia They
will make a desperate effort to possess those
counties. Not now, but as soon as their pre
sent obvious purposes are accomplished,
they are successful we are ruined. The en
trance to Upper Geoi^ia should be desperately
J J —h—W? Bnira not man to make this
defence in the open field. We must have
fortifications. These would be of use not only
now, but hereafter, in view of our changed
political relations. These workB should be
created now, and with the least possible de
lay. Our soldiers can build the larger part
of them when not engaged in drill. Why
should not the camps of instruction for the
twelve regiments new being raised be estab
lished on our Northern line, where their labor
would be of immediate, and perhaps momen
tous utility ?
Our scourge thus far has been delay. If Sa
vannah had been fortified in time, over half
the troops now there might at this moment be
strengthening the army of Tennessee. If we
had built gunboats during the past summer,
when every appliance of naval architecture
was within our reach, we would not now be
shamed by the women doing that which the
men have neglected. Let us not defer defences
on our northern line until the enemy iB upon
us, when their erection becomes impossible.
Let us take a lesson from the fate of Nashville.
' We have no time to lose. Our northern fron
tier is the point of reasonable anxiety. For
tunately the points of ingress into our State
are few. It will be a shame to our leaders
they are not immediately so defended by art
as to compensate for our deficiency in arms
and men. GEORGIAN.

A Pauhandleman’s View.
There is a bill before Old Abe’s Congress
to free the negroes, send them out of the
country, and colonize them. A few days ago
it was up in the Senate for discussion.
Mr. Fomeroy, of Kansas, objected to colo*
ninzing them. He thought the country could
not afford to lose these “laborers aud produ
cers.” He favored a scheme to send out of
the country and colonize the slaveholders, who
are dangerous to the country and whose loss
would not be felt.
Mr. Willey (from the Panhandle of Va.)
said there was no constitutional power for the
President to colonize negroes. He was will
ing to co-operate in the most stringent meas
ure to confiscate the property of the rebels;
but it would cost §500 a head to colonize the
negroes.
Mr. Pomeroy said his bill would meet that
matter, as there were ouly a few of the slave
holders, and it would not cost much.
Mr. Willey said: “ipropose to hang all such
traitors, and thus save all the expense of trans«•
portation.” [Applause in the galleries ]
Abe’s Brother-In-Law.
The letter of “ P. W. A.,” which we pub
lish toiday, speaks of having met with a man
named Kellogg, who professed to be a resi
dent of Cincinnati, a good Southern man, and
a brother-in-law of Lincoln. We learn from
gentlemen who know him, that a man, an
swering to his description, named Kellogg,
and who is a brother-in-law to Mrs. Lincoln,
is, or was lately, a resident of Cincinnati,
and was a prominent, respectable business
man. His wife and Mrs. Lincoln are sisters,
and two more of the sisters are residents of
Selma, Ala. Our informants are unable to
say whether he is a sound Southern man or
not.

Memphis. The most important communica
tion he made, related to the battle at Fort

large reinforcements from Washington to the
West, in anticipation of the late battle. No
attack was expected upon Washington, and
the forces there have been sent from time to
time to such points as required to be reinfois

was penned, written yesterday by an officer
stationed at New Madrid. He does not seem
to be so confident of holding the place against

desire. He Bays the enemy outnumber us
five to one. If we lose that place, somebody

;Chattanooga, Tenn., March 13, 1863
Fifty-six Federal prisoners passed through
here on yesterday, en route for Salisbury, N.
C. Thirty-seven of them were captured by
the ubiquitous MORGAN in one ot his recent
guerilla engagements with a party of Feder-
als near Nashville a few days since. They
are fine specimens of the North-western Yan
kee—have considerably less of the nasal
twang, and are otherwise less ill-favored th&n
the Massachusetts codfish eaters, and Connec
ticut clock-peddlers, who infeBt the shores of
the Potomac, and inhabit some of our South
ern prisons.
It is said that the Federal force in Nashville
does not exceed twenty thousand, ali told.—
This may be so, or it may not; of course we
do not endorse it as being reliable.
The “reliable gentleman” who came down
from Murfreesboro yesterday, says that we
have four hundred cavalry at that place and
about eight thousand along the road between
that point and Shelbyville. Capt. Morgan’i
company, which has been such a terror and
danger to the Yankees, is a picked company
of cavalry; they belong to no particular divis
ion of the army, but go where, and figh where
Uxoy filaasA. Thin Mffipflny of about
men, has given the Yankees more trouble
than, perhaps, any other in the Confederacy,
and gie.it efforts have been made by the ene
my to entrap them. Morgan is a Kentuckian
—the intimate friend of Gen. Buckner—and
it is said, has taken an oath to get possession
Mkmphis, March 8, 1862.
The battle did not come off at New Madrid
on Monday, as was anticipated at the date of
my last letter. There has been more or less
skirmishing by the pickets of the opposing
forces, but nothing more. ' The Federal force
investing the place is estimated at twenty five
regiments of infant-y, three of cavalry, and
ten or twelve light field batteries. They have
no heavy guns, and cannot transport them
there. They have thrown up intrenebments,
and regularly invested the town. Brig. Gen.
McCown is in command of the Confederate
forces at New Madrid, ahd entertains no
doubt of his ability to hold the place. He
is the officer who had charge of the artillery
oorps at Columbus. Commodore Hollins co
operates with Gen. McCown in the defenoe of
the place, and has already rendered valuable
assistance with his leet of five gunboats.
These boats are not iron-clad, but are other
wise very substantial and heavily mounted.
The approach tn New Madrid by ;land is
over a plank-road, which runs through a
marsh, and over whioh the enemy must ad
vance to reach the town from the Missouri
side. This approach, as you have heretofore
been informed, is flanked on the right or
north side by a bayou which empties into the
Mississippi just at the town, and on the left
or south Bide by the river itself, which sweeps
around in a bold curve below. This gives the
place a large water front, and enables Com.
Hollins to participate in any engagement that
may ensue. The ground is low and level,
and may be swept for miles by his heavy
gans. Should they be needed, reinforcements
can be easily despatched from Island No. 10,
which is only ten miles above New Madrid
I had an interview to-day with a gentle
man who has just arrived from Nashville,
whence he succeeded in making his escape on
Sunday night. He says that Gens. Buell,
Nelson, Mitchell and Thos. L. Crittenden
were in the city, and that there were from
twelve to fifteen thousand troops on the South
side of the river. Gen. McCook was on the
north side with his division. Gens. Grant
and MoClernand had been there, but had
gone down the river with five transports load
ed with soldiers. Their place of destination
has not transpired, but it was believed they
had gone to reinforce the investing forces at
New Madrid, or to operate on the Tennessee
-*— <*-i r ...,« gunboat (the St. Louis) had
been at Nashville, and that was still there.
All the stores and places of business in
Nashville had been closed by the people, ex
cept a few fruit and supply' establishments,
which were kept open for their own accom
modation. Gen. Buell had invited the citi
zens to resume their business, and bad given
them assurances of his proU-c ion; they bud

of the offer, and kept themselves enttrely
aloof from the Federals. The Union colors
had been raised upon but two private build
ings, the proprietors of which are northern
men. The boys of the town had stoned one
of the houses, aud compelled’ the owner to
haul down his flag. The people refused to
take Federal Treasury notes or bills on
northern banks in payment for such articles
as they were compelled to part with.
No Governor had been appointed as at first
reported. It was thought that the Hon. Wm.
H. Polk, who was then in the city hob-nob
bing with Federal officers, would not decline
the appointment. No arrests bad been made,
and people residing In’ the country were al
lowed to enter, but not leave the city. The
enemy were at work upon (he Nashville and
Louisville railroad, and said they would have
it in running order in two or three weeks.—
The Banner newspaper is published as a
news sheet, and a few copies of the Union &
American had been issued by the printers
attached to the establishment. The editors
of that and other papers had effected their
esoape prior to the occupation of the city by
the enemy.
Nothing was known as to the future inten
tions of the enemy. The officers were unea
sy, and seemed to apprehend that the city
had been evacuated with a view to entrapping
them in some way. Thirty or forty trans
ports W9re kept there tc be used in any
emergency. No steps had been taken to re
build the railroad and wire suspension bridges
which lead to the city.
My informant says Gen. Buell is a eold,
shrewd, impassible man. He thinks he play
ed the same trick upon Gen. Sydney Johnson
that Gen. Joseph E. Johnston played upon
Gon. Patterson last Sommer, just before the
battle ot Manassas. He heard, and believes,
that Buell sent the greater part of his forces
—say 40,000 men—around by Louisville and
down the Ohio and Cumberland rivers to Ft.
Donelson, retaining only a sufficient force in
front of Bowling Green to keep up appear
ances. The attack upon that position just as
Johnston was evacuating it, was a feint, the
ohject of which was to mislead him, and to
deter him from sending reinforeoments to Ft.
Donelson. Be this as it may, the strategem
of the enemy was wisely conceived and admi
rably executed. We can now see and under
stand that the whole movement could hardly
fail of being successful.
Whilst waiting for the train at Stevenson,
Monday night, I encountered a man who rep
resented himself to be a resident of Cincin
nati, and a brother-in law of Mr. Lincoln.
He expressed himself very warmly—some
what too warmly—in favor of the Sontb, and
gave me a long account of the difficulties he
had encountered, and tho by-ways ho had
been compelled to take, in reaching our lines.

From the Savannah papers of day before
yesterday we get several items.
The News says the ‘‘Emma” was tired upon
by the federal batteries as she was proceed
ing through St. Augustine’s Creek, but with
out effect.
Also, that the enemy attempted a landing
on Tuesday night at Coffee Bluff, but our
pickets poured a volley of musketry into
their boats, killing some and driving them
off. The Republican says they returned at
midnight and commenced an attack. Firing
on both sides kept up for some time—“ no
body hurt” on our side. They went off again.
The Republican learns by a passenger just
from Fernandia, Fla., that there are 3,000
federals in the place. He pretended to be a
Union man while there, and heard the feder
al officers say,that they intended to burn Sa
vannah and Charleston in less than thirty
days.
Conscription.—The Governor and Execu
tive (Council of South Carolina have, we
learn, decided to make a radical and impor
tant change in the mode of raising troops in
this State, whenever they may be needed
hereafter, as long as the war shall last. On
and after the 20th of the present month, all
requisitions upon the State for troops will at
onoe be filled by conscription, which very mar
ny persons, well informed on the subject, re
gard as the most effective and equitable plan.
The oonseripts will be mustered in for the
war. No volunteers, for any arm of the ser
vice, will be received after the 20th inst. All
field and li e officers, from the grade of Col
onel down to that of Third Lieutenant, will
be appointed by the Governor and Council.
The non commissioned officers of each com
pany will be appointed by the Captain, with
the approval of the commanding officer of the
Battalion or Regiment. These; we believe,
are the main features of the new military
regulations, which will probably be publish
ed in a few days.—Charleston Mercury.
