RETREAT BUT IN CHAINS AND SLAVE
RY.”— Patrick Henry in the first Revolution.
To His lixcelltiicy Joseph E. Brotvn,
Governor ot Georgia.
We hope you will not deem it impertinent
in us to make a few suggestions in relation to
our public defenses. It is a matter of the
deepest moment to every citizen of Georgia.
In a very short time the services of the sol
diers, whom you have called out and Bent to
the coast for Slate defense, will expire. Bo
far they have Lad no opportunity to strike a
blow at the invader, or in any wise repel his
vandal tread, further than their presence at
the right point has kept back his advance or
held him in check.
The Legislature has appropriated a largo
amount of money to bo used by you in defense
of the State of Georgia ; and as it appears to
us that the large body of troops called out by
you has been a partial failure—for which,
however, we attach no blame to your Excel
lency—would it not be well to change our
tactics and modes of defense? The recent en
gagement in Hampton Roads will doubtless
materially change the programme of the in
vasion from our seaports. Already the Lin
coln Congress has passed an appropriation for
the construction of a number of iron-clad
gunboats like the Virginia, With them they
will easily pass all our fortifications and as
cend our rivers. May we not deviao some
plan to meet and repel them ! Would it not
be well for you to bring your resources and
energy to bear in the construction of invul
nerable iron-clad gunboats to be placed in our
rivers—the Savannah, Atlamaha, Chattahoo
chee, Ac.—all that can be ascended by the en
emy ?
Give our coast army an honorable chance,
in whatever way seems to you most fit, to en
list for the war in the Confederate servica,
that they may go when and where their valor
is most needed—retaining only a sufficient
number to man these invincible boats when
placed in our rivers.
We make these suggestions with all due re
spect, and from the very best motives. It
seems to us the cause will be better served in
this way than by spending double the amount
of the appropriations by the State in any oth
er. Of course, of the practicability of our
plan you will be the better judge; but if it
be practicable in any way, let us have the
rams in our rivers.
With great respect, we are, Ac.,
THE EDITORS.
Glorying iu their Shame and Perfidy.
The Fortress Monroe correspondent of the
New York “Tribune” of the 12th, gives the
following laudatory account of the atrocious
violation by the enemy of their own flag of
surrender at Newport Nows :
« * * As the Merrimac approached she
opened fire, which the Congress returned, but
soon raised the signal to surrender. The
Yorktown and Jamestown sent officers aboard
to receive the surrender and arrange for the
transfer of the prisoners. When some 25 ot
the crew of the Congress had been taken to
the rebel boats Capt. Howard, of the 4th Ar
tillery, brought the guns of his light battery
to bear on them, and fairly beat them off and
compelled them to draw eff and give ap the
transfer of the prisoners. One of his shells
entered the steam chest of the Yorktown.—
Therefore, all but the twenty five, or so, that
had been previously taken, the crew and offi
cers of the Congress not hilled, made their
escape. Great praise is aejorded on all hands
to Capt. Howard, as well as to the Fire Zou
aves and others, who lay down iu the sand
and picked off the rebels'with small arms.”
Such villainy was never before heard of.
All the savage atrocities of cruel and relent
less heathens are unequal to this. Many a
tale of horror which chills the blood at its
recital, is perpetuated in the history of the
early wars with Indian savages in this coun
try. That, however, we can readily account
for, because they were Bavage and brutal in
their nature and practice—having no preten
sions to civilization or Christianity, and no
just conception of the obligations of human!
ty. But when people who make claim to being
the most liberal and best educated on earth
and say they are most civilized and enlight
ened upon the face of the globe, will act with
base perfidiousness to which a savage never
made pretensions, and then proclaim it thro
the press to an astonished world with a self-
complacency and self-approbation that is only
. tolerable at the conclusion of the most noble
and worthy acbievments, we may well stand
back appalled at the low down depths of
of meanness and rascality, which they have
exhibited. Well may we thank God that we
are cut loose from them—no matter what the
cost may be; and pray that the last one of us
may sink down in death rather than submit
to a national affiliation with them again upon
any terms whatever that mortals could sug
gest.

Mentioned
Irou-Clad Gunboats.
The Yankees, as we have heretofore pre
dicted, have been taught a lesson by the ex
ploits of the Virginia, and are making pre
parations to assail us with impregn ible iron
clad vessels at all po nts. I dIpes we go en
ergetically to work and are ready for them,
with boats and ships superior in number and
armament to theirs, and have theca placed
in every harbor, river and in'et on our coast,
we will be outdone in this new naval engine
of destruction which we nave adopted. The
naval Committee of the federal Senate intro
duced a "bill on the 14th instant, with the loi-
lowing provisions:
“The bill introduced by Senator Hale, from
the Committee on Naval Affairs, tc-day, pro
vides for the construction, under the direc
tion of the Sebretary of the Navy, of an
iron-clad steam vessel, of not less than five
or six thousand tous burthen, and of great
speed and strength, to be used only as a ram,
for which purpose $1,000,000 be appropria
ted; also, SI3,000,000 for the construction cf
iron-clad gunboats, $783,000 for the comple
tion of Stevens’ battery, and $500,000 for
extending the facilities of the Washington
Navy Yard, so as to roil and forge plates for
the armored ships.
The completion of the Stevens’ battery,
which has hung fire so long, is provided for
in the bill.”
Bombardment of Island No. 10.
The Memphis “Appeal” of the 21st says:
“On Monday, (the ITth instant) the enemy
brought down eight gunboats and six mortar
boats, and commenced the fire again from a
nearer point, say within two miles, ’three ot
the gunboats were lashed together, and made
a desperate attack upon Capt. Rucker’s battery
—the upper one on the shore line. The bom
bardment was terrific throughout the day,
1 and considerable injury was sustained by
C<pt. R’s battery, which wi3. however, fuiiy
repaired during the night. L'.eut. Clark, of
this battery, a gallant soldier, was the only
person killed on our side at any time during
the four days’ bombardment.
■ One of the enemy's gunboats was disabled
Monday afternoon, and had to be towed back
by the tugs. She was not sunk as reported.
O.her boats were struck, but the extent of the
damage done them could not be ascertaind.”
The Colonels.
In our sketch of the Colonels of several of
the new Regiments last Saturday morning,
there were several errors. We stated that
Wier Boyd bad ^been elected Colonel ot the
42ud Regiment. This we have since correc
ted, so far as to announce, that he was elect
ed Colonel of the 52.1. We now state, that
Joseph McConnell, of Ringgold, was elected
Colonel of the -121 Regiment. He is a law
yer, and has frequently represented his
county iu the Legislature. He married a
daughter of Jesse Lane, a well known citizen
of middle Georgia. In old politics he wa« a
Whig. lie is a tall, sparo made man, about
38 years of age, prematurely grey, has
a ruddy complexion, and pleasant counte
nance. He is highly esteemed by his ac
quaintances, as a moral, clever gentleman.—
He is an excellent lawyer.
Removed.
The Raleigh “Register” of the 22ud iust ,
announces that Gen. Gatlin, who was in com
mand of all the Confederate forces in North
Carolina, has been removed, since the New-
bern affair. We sincerely hope this is true.
If President Davis entrusted the management
of military affairs in that State to him; and
if he is to blame for the disaster at Newberu,
he should be not only removed, but deprived
of all command whatever
We chronicle these evidences of the admin
istration holding men to whom important
trusts are confided, to a.rigid accountability,
with unfeigned gratification.

Battle of Pea Ridge.
St. Louis, March 11.—The following is the j
official report of General Curtis to General I
Halljck:
Headquarters Army of the South-west, j
Pea Ridge, Ark., March 9 /
General:—On Thursday the Gth inst,, the
enemy commenced an attack on my right
wing, assailing and following the rear guard
of a detachment under General Sigel to my
main lines on Sugar Creek Hollow, but ceas
ed firing whin he met my reinforcements,
about 4 p. ml
During the night I became convinced that
he hal mived on so as to attack my right or
rear. Therefore, early on the 7th, I ordered
a ch uge of trout io the right—my right,
which then became my left, still resting on
Sugar Creek Hollow.
This brought my line across Pea Ridge,
with my new right resting on Head Cross
Timber Hollow, which is the head of Big Su
gar Creek. I also ordered an immediate ad--
vaace of the cavalry and light artillery, un
der Colonel Osterhaus, with orders to attack
and break what 1 supposed would be the re-
infoiced line cf the enemy. This movement
was in progress when the enemy, at 11 a. m ,
commenced an attack on my right. The
fight continued mainly at these points during
the day, the enemy having gained the poiut
held by ilie command of Col. Carr, at Cross
Timber Hollow, but was entirely repulsed
with the fail of the Commander, McCulloch,
in the centre, by the forces under Col. Davis
The plan of attack on the centre was gallant
ly carried forward by Col. Osterhaus, who
was immediately sustained and supported by
Col. Davis’ entire division, supported also by
General Sigel’s command, which had remain
ed till near the close of the day on the left.
Col. Carr’s division held the right, under a
galling, continuous lire, all day. In the eve
ning, tiring having entirely ceased in the cen
tre. and the right being now on the left, I re
inforceu the right by a portion of the Sec
ond Divisiou, under Geu Asbolii. Before
the day closed, I was convinced that the eue-.
my had concentrated his main force on the
righ-, I commenced another change of front,
forward, so as to face the enemy where he
had deployed on my right flank iu a strong
position. The change had only been partial
ly effected, but was iu full progress, when, at
sunrise on the 8th. my right and centre re
newed the firing, which was immediately an
swered by the enemy with renewed energy
along the whole extent of his line. My left,
under Sigel, moved close to the hills occu
pied by the enemy, driving him from the
heights, and advancing steadily towards, the
head of the Hollows. 1 immediately order
ed the centre aud right wing forward, the
right turning the left of the enemy, and cross
firing on his ceutre. This final position of
the enemy was in the arc of a circle.
A charge of infantry extending through
out the whole line, completely routed the
rebel force, which retired iu great confusion,
but rather safely through the deep, impassa
ble defiles of Cross Timber. Our loss is hea
vy. The enemy’s can never be ascertained,
fur their dead are scattered over a large field.
Their wounded, too, may many of them be
lost and perish. The force is scattered iu
all directions, but I think his main force has
returned to Boston Mountains.
Gen. Sigel follows him toward Keittville,
while my cavalry is pursuing him toward the
mountains, scouring the country, bringing in
prisoners and trying to find the rebel Major
General Van Dorn, who had command of the
entire force at this, the battle of Pea Ridge.
I have not as yet statements of the dead
and wounded, so as to justify a report, but 1
will refer you to a dispatch which I will for
ward very soon.
Officers and soldiers have displayed such
unusual gallantry that I hardly dare to make
distinction. I must, hnwever, name the
commanders of divisions. Gen. Sigel gal
lantly commanded the right, and drove back
the left wing of the enemy; Gen. Asboth,
who is wounded in the arm, in his gallant ef
fort to reinforce the right; Colonel and Act
ing Brig. Gen. Davis, who commanded the
centre, where McCulloch fell on the 7th, and
pressed forward the centre on the 8th; Colo-
uel and Acting Brig. Gen. Carr, is also woun
ded in the arm, and was under the continu
ous fire of the enemy during the two hardest
days of the struggle.
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, and Missou
ri proudly share the honor of victory, which
their gallant, heroes won over the combined
forces of Van Dorn, Price and McCulloch at
Pea Ridge, iu the mountains of Arkansas.
I have the honor to be, General,
Your obedient servant,
SAMUEL CURTIS,
Brigadier General.

of the Northern Government, and telegraphed
in time to intercept the release of a portion
of these hostages (amoDg them Colonel Cor
coran) who were en route from points further
South than Richmond to go North uuder flag
of truce at Norfolk. A number of these hos
tages, however, had already been discharged.
It now appears that, in contravention of
the solemn agreement of the Northern Gov
ernment, not one of our privateersmen have
been released, aud the Fort Donelson prison
ers, instead of being paroled, have been ta
ken into the interior, where they are still
confined.
As a judgment upon this open and sname-
less perfidy of the North, it is proposed that
our prisoners, who have been paroled by the
Yankees, shall be released from their obliga
tions. There is little doubt of the honor of
such a proposition as (hire is of its justness
and meetness as a retaliatory measure for an
act of fragrant perfidy.—Richmond Examiner,
21*7 inst.
ertidy of the North—Message from Hie
President in Secret Session of Congress,
We learn that yesterday a message from
the President was sent into Congress, in se
cret session, recommending that all our pris
oners who had been put on parole by the Yan-
kee Government be released from the obliga
tion of their parole, so as to bear arms in the
struggle for independence.
The recommendation was urged as a retal
iation for the infamous and reckless breach
of good faith on the part of the Northern Gov
eminent with regard to the exchange of pris
oneers, and was accompanied by the expos
ure of this perfidy in a lengthy correspond
ence conducted by the War Department. We
have been enabled to extract the points of
this interesting correspondence.
It appears from this correspondence that,
at the lime permission was asked by the Nor
thern Government for Messrs. Fish and Amee
to visit their prisoners within the jurisdiction
of the South, our government, while denying
this permission, sought to improve the op
portunity by concerting a settled plan for the
exchange of prisoners. For the execution of
this purpose Messrs. Conrad and Seddon were
deputed by our government as commissioners
to meet those of the Northern Government
under a flag of truce at Norfolk.
Subsequently a letter from Gen. Wool wa3
addressed to Gen. Huger, informing him that
he, Gen. Wool, had full authority to settle any
terms for the exchange of prisoners, and as
kiDg an interview on the subject. Gen. How
ell Cobb was then appointed by the govern
ment to mediate with Gen. Wool, and to set
tie a permanent plan for the exchange of pris
oners during the war The adjustment was
considered to have been satisfactorily made"
It was agreed that the prisoners of war in
the hands of each government should be ex
changed, man for man, the officers being as
similated as -o rank, &c ; that our privateers
men should be exchanged on the footing of
prisoners of war; that any surplus remaining
on either side, after these exchanges, should
be released, and that hereafter, during the
whole continuance of the war, prisoners taken
on either side should be paroled.
Id carrying out this agreement, our gov
eminent has released some three hundred
prisoners above those exchanged by the
North, the balance in the competing numbers
of prisoners in the hands of the two govern
ments being so much in our favor. At the
time, however, of sending North the hostages
we had retained for our privateersmen, Gen
eral Cobb had reason to suspect the good faith
Doings in Yuukeedom.
SLAVERY IN THE DISTRICT OF CO
LUMBIA.
Wasainqton, March 11th.—The Commit
tees on the District of Columbia of the two
Houses have agreed upon a bill for the aboli
tion of slavery in the District, which is sub
stantially the same as that reportoU by Air

will report at the earliest opportunity, and
Mr. Morrill will, to morrow (12th) amend it
as agreed. The House Committee has been

That Vile Trio lu Nashville.
The Nashville “ Times” of the 14th instant,
contains the fallowing:
Governor Andrew Johnson, Horace Maynard
and Emerson Etheridge, arrived in the city on
Wednesday night, from Washington, and are
stopping at the St Cloud.
Brig.Gen Johnson was serenaded last night
by the military band, and in response he ad
dressed them for about an hour. He stated that
he returned to Tennessee for the purpose of
restoring the Constitution and the laws as
they formerly existed ; that this was a war
brought about by disappointed seekers after
power. Ho argued that there could be no
government unless the laws were enforced ;
that the time had come for treason to be
crushed and for traitors to be punished. He
called upon the Union men of Davidson Co.
to come forth and fight for the Federal gov
ernment, and predicted that it would not be
long before they would buckle on their armor
to assist the Unionists of East Tennessee.
Emerson Etheridge next addressed the band.
He said nothing particular except that the
meanest “secessionists” were the John Bell
Whig secessionists, and that there were a great
many silly ladies in Nashville.
Horace Maynard next spoke, but wo did not
hear him.
A general order issued by the Federal com
mander contains the following section :
“9. A board of officers to consist of Colonel
Hambright, 79th Pennsylvania yolunteers,
Lieut. Coi. Jones, 1st Wisconsin voluntee-s,
and Capt. McNaliy, 78th Pennsylvania vol
unteers, will meet at Nashville, at 12 M., on
the 14th instant, to examine into the rights of
ownership in case of all stores and property
in dispute iu this city, between citizens on the
one hand and officers and agents of the gov
ernment on the other.
The “Times” also has the following:
Our Cotton Lands to be taken.—In the
Federal Senate on the 7th, the bill to provide
for the occupation and cultivation of the cot
ton lands, (of “rebels” we presume,) was
passed by the following vote:
Yeas—Anthony, Chandler, Clark, Collamer,
D ion, Fessenden, Foote, Foster, Grimes, Hale,
HaGan, Howard, Howe, King, Love, Morrell,
Pomeroy, Sherman, Simmons, Sumner, Ten
Eyck Trumbull. Wade, Wiley, Wilmott, Wil
son, of Mass—26.
Nays—Browning, Carlile, Cowan, Davis,
Henderson, Kennedy, McDougal), Pearce,
Powell, Rice, Saulsbury, Thompson, Wilson,
of Missouri, Wright—14.
“Owing to circumstances,” we have not
seen this bill, or an abstract of its provisions,
but from a brief report of some remarks of Mr.
Carlile, of \ irginia, previous to its passage,
its character maybe inferred. Ho said “ he
did not believe that the government held su
preme control of all the lands in the coufll!^;”
that “in place of the present masters and
slaves,” the bill “makes the government one
great, iordiy slaveholder, with a great brood
of petty agents,” and that “ the provisions of
the bill made humane treatment of the slaves
impossible.” Mr. Pearce of Maryland, de
clared that the bill was impracticable, and a
most extraordinary political blunder,” and
that “the money that it would cost the gov
ernment to provide for these indigent persons,
would make the treasury more indigent than
themselves even.”
