Our New Terms.
With our next issue our increased Terms
will go into operation. We very much re
gret the necessity which compels us to take
this step in order to insure our ability to
keep up the publication of cur paper. We
cannot afford to publish it at a loss, and we
Know our patrons do not desire us to do so.
When the cost of paper, ink, and everything
connected with the publication of a first class
daily paper, again diminishes, we will either
reduce our terms or increase the size of our
paper.
Our object has been to make our paper
useful by an extended circulation, at. rates
so low that every body could afford to sub
scribe. We have succeeded in getting a very
large circulation, and if times had remained
as they were when we commenced the paper,
wo would now, with our large circulation,
have been able to increase its size and en
hance its interest.
We shall labor earnestly to make our paper
useful and interesting. Our object shall Be
to serve the people and promote the best in
tereats of the country. We shall do this as
cheap as we possibly can, so as to make our
paper meet expenses.
Pulaski Fallen.
Dispatches received yesterday, leave no
doubt that Fort Pulaski has fallen into the
hands of the enemy. Though it has been
more easily taken than what we bad supposed
from information given to us, It is nothing
more than what we expected and predicted,
and adds another instance of the stupidity
and folly which have marked the defenses ot
our coast.
The fort should have beeu abandoned and
all its armament brought away, six months
ago.
The Largest Circulation.
llow many papers in Geo-gia have “the lar
gest circulation in the State?”—Chas. Courier.
Three: One in Savannah, one in Macon,
and one in Atlanta.—Rep,
And one other—the Courier’s facetious con
frere, the Chronicle A Sentinel of Augusta.—
Aug. Const.
So far rs the Macon Telegraph is concerned,
the above is untrue and ungenerous. We have
never boasted the •* largest circulation in this
State,” but simply called in question the in
flated pretensions of others. If any papers,
however, wish a show of hands, let them
bring the matter to the affidavit of a respon
sible pressman in each establishment.—Hu-
con Telegraph.
The “Confederacy" accedes to this teat. We
will show our books, or produce the affidavit
of our pressman, make any “show of hands
that any person may prefer. It is no “ infla
ted pretension” with us.

published a letter from Rev. Mr. Crumley,
which I fear will do injury to the cause in
which every Southerner is so deeply inter
ested. Unity is the great essential to our
success, and any attempt to divide the senti
ment, and engender dis'.rast in tbe minds of
the people, toward cur officers and mm in
authority, will of course have its effect
among our soldiers, and citizens generally.
A personal admirer of the noble qualities
that Mr. Crumley possesses in such an emi
nent degree, and a member of tbe same
church, I disclaim all intention of reflecting
in any way upon the motives, that induced
him to express himself so freely in regard to
our ruler? and commanders. But the evil
produced by distrust and dissension in these
perilous times, is of such appalling magni
tude, that I must crave your kind indulgence,
Messrs. Editors, to protest against the ex
pression of such gloomy forebodings, and
want of confidence in our President and
Council. x.
Tbe apparent ioactiou of President Davis
has been greatly censured by the press and
people, and our continued losses and suc-
ive defeats, have shaken the confidence of
the people in his supposed ability and ener
gy, but a calm, dispassionate view of the
circumstances under which our young gov-,
eminent has labored, will certaiuly convince
us that a Herculean task wa*- imposed upon
him.
The unanimous voice of the nation, in
placing him in his present position, together
with his personal experience in military af
fairs, should certainly deter us from pro
nouncing him incompetent, until he has been
fully tried. The great Napoleon, the oracle
of the present time, would have succumbed
to the pressure of national trouble, if the
French Directory had withheld the needful
confidence and support, in the beginning of
his military career. Altogether, wo want
the proof that another man in these Confed
erate States could have done better in his
department, and. until “ circumstances make
the man,” we should hesitate to say that our
President is not the man for the work. It is
certainly just that we should grant him com
mendation for the good he has done, and
withhold censure till we can charge him
with wilful neglect. The Israelites mur
mured against Moses when their troubles in
creased, but even that stiff necked people,
were not so ungrateful as to cry out for a
youthful Joshua, to depose the faithful, pa
tient leader, that had been au instrument in
the hand of God, in delivering them from
Egyptian bondage.
Another idea of Bro. Crumley’s,- i think
betrays an error, that we should combat with
a zeal proportioned to its importance, name
ly, that young men are better qualified to
conduct great revolutions than older men.—
Since the days of Rehoboam the fatal effects
of young men’s counsel, untempered by god-,
ly piety, has been verified. Shall we in this
momentous struggle reject the sober advice
and experienced wisdom of our fathers; and
rest our deliverance upon the rash and hasty
resolves of beardless youths, and young
men, who are often regardless of the lives of
those under them, stimulated by self impor
tance and selfish ambition ?
I admit that aspiring politicians are not a
promising class, among which to find a lead
er; still I must say that there are many ex
ceptions even in this class. I cannot believe
there is an utter waut of patriotism in our
statesmen. The energy and undaunted reso
lution that has elevated them to the councils
of the nation, will likely aid them in defend
ing their homes, and dear ones from a das
tard foe. Give honor to whom honor is due.
My own opinion is. that we have failed to
look to our only source for succor. We look
not to the “hills whence our help cometh.”
All wars are chastisements from the Lord,
for wickedness and ingratitude : and there
are none so insensible to the state of our
country, so blinded to our sins and short
comings, but will admit we are a wicked peo
ple. Drunkenness and profanity, are demor
alizing our vast army.* Every species of vice
prevails in this once favored land, and God
will punish and afflict while we continue thus
to sin.
Even a Joshua could not lead the hosts of
Israel to victory, while the wedge of gold
and the Babylonish garment polluted the
camp, and can a just God allow us to con
quer while such enormities of crime and pol
lution fill a Bible blessed and Heaven-favored
land? We look to the good men—the Chris
tians of our country, to avert the calamities
that threaten us, and to Bro. Crumly, and all
the faithful Christian ministers, we say,
pray; pray unceasingly: for nnr gracious
Lord has promised to hear the call of the
righteous, and give an answer of peace.
While we wait the coming of the Joshna, I
beg them to hold up tbe hands of our Moses;
to bear patiently with Saul, until our God
sends us a David.
CHEROKEE.
From the Richmond Dispatch-
Important Letter from General tsiegel.
We have been furnished a lette J.^ r , Ut t en ^
the notorious Dutch General, B • at
wife, which was captured among othrrs a ,
the battle of Elkborn, Arkansas. The letter
is written in German, and contains disc osures
also by Homer in I Iliad, liber ix , 214, The
early Greek? were in the habit of presenting
salt'at the '‘hospitable meal," first before the
stranger as a token of permanent friendship.
In ancient Romo it was subjected to a duty,
,veciigal salinarium). Commercial salt forms^
no small portion of the in neral wealth of
England and constitutes an important article
of commerce. Common salt is prepared by
evaporatirg salt springs <.f sufficient strength
by heat in large iron pans. As the water
evaporates, crystals of salt form in the liquid,
and are raked out upon the sloping sides of
the pan to drain. Sea water and some sa.ices
are evaporated in shallow wooden vata by the
sun heat, and then finished by fire. Some
feeble salines are concentrated to stronger
brine by evaporating ia the air by means of a
graduation-house, an oblong and elevated
frame-work, covered by a roof, along the top
of which is a trough to contain the salt water.
The space under the roof is tilled up with
bundles of twigs. The water is suffered to
flow out of numerous openings in tbe trough
upon the fagots, by which it is so divided as
to expose an extended surface to the evapo
rating action of ihe air, and descends in the
receiving reservoir below in a more concen-
trated form. It is finally crystalixed in evap
orators. Rock salt is also dissolved in water
and the clear solution evaporated, or where
the formation is near the sea, it is dissolved
in salt water to a strong brine, which is then
evaporated to crystalize. .Among the residues
in these operations are sulphate of soda (Glan-
ber salts), which is use! to make soda-ssh,
sulphate of magnesia (Epsom salts), and a
more insoluable residue of sulphate of lime
(Gypsum), and other salts.which are used in
agriculture. The mother liquors of lime sa
lines yield a considerable quantity of bro
mide, ethers of iodide of sodium. To purify
salt it may be ground, or used in tine crys
tals, thrown on a hopper, and washed with a
saturated solution of pure salt. To remove
sulphates of aoda and magnesia and chloride
of magnesium, c-hloride of barium and car
bonate of soda may be used, and tbe excess of
this carbonate then neutralized by mutriatic
acid. Artesian wells could easily be con
structed in Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, McIn
tosh, Glynn aad Camden counties, which wo’d
doubtless yield an abundance of salt for tha
whole Southern Confederacy. We hope the
Governor of Georgia will double his figures,
and offer $10,000 to commence this important
enterprize. We believe that there are men
among us who will undertake this matter if
this be done, and the quicker it is done, the
better it will be for all of us. The State of
Georgia should not be dependent upon any
other people for such an important article as

We are pleased to learn that Mr. Thomas, of
Memphis, who was appointed by the Bible
Society of tbe Confederate Sums to visit
Nasnville for the purpose of securing the
et-reoiype p.&ies of the New Testament, has
succeeded in his mission, and reached this
cny with the piates in charge. He nad some
••hair-breadth escapes” among the vandals—
was taken prisoner by toe Dutch pickets, but
finally reached Nashvil e, and through the
aid ot our friends there secured the plates,
and got them conveyed through the line* in a
wsgon, when he succeeded in making his es
cape and took charge of them. Mr. Thomas
deserves great credit Jor the energy and sail]
displayed in this hazardous undertaking. The
plates wal be invaluable in prosecuting the

Citizens ot Richmond feeding; the Soldiers.
On Sunday last the citizens en music came
to the leacue of the hungry regiments hud
dled at the depot, and fed them with every
thing from huncks of meat to gingercakes
and sticks of sugar candy. The display of
generosity was characteristic of oar people,
and, we learn, was vied in even by the ne
groes of Richmond, many of whom brought
their Sunday dinners into the street, and
placed them at the disposal of the hungry
soldiers en route to whip their natural enemy
—the Yankees. Large hampers ot provisions
were generously sent to the depot by ine
American Hotel of this city, and for one day,
at least, tbe soldiers were surfeited on the best
that the lprders of our city could afford.

The Battle ot Corinth—Yankee Prophe
cies of the Result.
The Richmond •* Examiner, the 8th
instant, says: Our great vicu-r^ a. Corinth
will rather put the Yankees to blush after
their boastful and confident predictions of the
result. Our latest Northern papers show that
they counted with almost perfect confidence
on whipping us, aud that ‘it was the general
belief of all the prominent officers of General
Grant’s command that the rebels would re
treat on their approach.’ Toshoir what bright
anticipations the Yankees had ■■ t the battle
at Corinth, when hourly impom-ing, we make
some extracts from a letter in the New York
“Herald” of the 1st:
The hosts are being marshaled on both sides
for a grand battle. From all the indications,
the i.upending battle w.ll be toe most impor
tant of any that has yet been fought in thfo
'^iyi our scouts eoncur in the statement that
ihe rebels are concentrating the main body ot
their forces at Corinth, Mississippi. Troops
arrive there daily from Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Tennessee. Scouts estimate
them now at seventy-five thousand, hut forty
thousand is doubtless nearer correct. Beau
regard is in command.
The rebels have forces at luka, and other
points on the Memphis A Charleston railroad.
A courier started trem our headquarters two
days ago across the country to Buell's advance
We still await tha return of transports from
Paducah. Rebel gunboats are in the neigh
borhood. Deserters continue to come in from
rebel posts. They say half the soldiers would
disart if they could. Oae deserter says, oat
of ninety-five in his company, in one of the
Purdy regimentc, thirty-four had deserted,
and twenty more were eager to do the same
Our troops for a week past, have been under
orders to march at an hours’ notice, with ten
days’ rations.
Our forces at Pittsburg are being rapidly
augmented, steamer after steamer arriving
continually, laden with fresh troops.
The latest advices from the rebel camp at
Corinth give the strength of the force there
at 70,000. Recent indications relative to the
persistent efforts cf the rebels to fortify the
town of Corinth would seem to demonstrate an
inteation to make a vigorous resistance there.
It is, however, the general belief of ah the
prominent officers of General Grant's com
mand that the rebels will retreat on our ap
proach; but should a cattle occur at Corinth,
it will doubtless be one of the hardest fought
and bloodiest affairs of the present war.

omit tho identical passage, for old Curtis is,
indeed, more to be pitied than persecuted 1
would like to avoid all personal enmity with
him, as I do indeed n t consider him my ene
my. On the contrary. Iliilgartner writes to
me I intended to make Curtis’ son chief of iny
staff—or had made him such. This is all
humbug Tbe matter is simply this: Major
Shaeffer, at Rolla, ha3 verv much entreated
me to appoint him on my staff young Curtis
very much desires to serve under Seigel, he.
I have waived as mild as poasib'e the oflVr,
and know not where the youcg man is to be
found now. Herr Giscke shall be so kind as
to tell Hiligartner so."
The writer then refers to some plan among
the Germans in which he is interested, and
which be 19 pleased to term “ my cause.” Now,
it is pretty plainly intimated, in the extract
which we append, that the German popula
tion of the North is not on tbe most cordial
terms with the other mixed breeds of that in
hospitable clime, and that it is not all unlikely*
that in due process of time the Red Republi
can element will shake, if it dors Eot over
throw, the now predominant Black Republi
can dynasty. There is evidently a storm brew
ing, and the great German leader of the West
only wants an understanding with h s coun
trymen of the E-st, which he regrets has not
heretofore existed. But we prefer to let him
speak for himself. He says:
“Mysffair is at a stand still ;* the journals
are quiet, and have also no private news from
Washington, D C Although my cause may
be lost for the moment, or move in ihe back
ground, the cause of the Germans is thereby
not lost yet. It was a grand mistake that I
I never knew f otn tbe beginning what hap
pened in the East, a-nd ibat it was unknown
there what I did rnysel . The committee in
New York ought to have made me better ac
quainted with their plans: but i seems to me
they never had a fixed plan. If anything is
to be gained yet, we must act systematically ;
and it is essential that we in the West must
b9 in understanding with those in the East.
This will bedifficu t. for I a.n Dot' f much use
for a new Fremont commotion, or for the pur
pose to make Fremont President, unless I
must be well convinced that this is our only
safety—salvation.
“ If I shall do something decisive yet in my
cause, then it must he done cow. I am so far
from St Louis, and have nobody whom Ieouid
send, mnch less some one who could advise
me. In addition to this I know not what hap
pens at (in) Washington. I sit here upon live
coals, yet with the necessary calmness and
self-possession. Yts. you are right, honor and
glory have their bitter, but I must confess
that tbe bitter, for a change, rests much bet
ter te me than tbe powerfully sweet. I wish
Old Abe would pension me and give me a
country seat on the Niagara, there to write
articles of war. That would be more in con-
conformiiy with your own nervous system.
Yet 1 hope that the war will not last much
longer, and then we can carry out our w> 9 h>
to live in peace without hindrance.
“Of the poisoning afl’dir»t Mudtown you
will have heard, and also that some ot our
wagons were burnt at Keetsville, and that tbe
Texas cavalry made an attack and carried
away sixty horsts. Curtis must sorely feel
this blow.
“ Col. Albert has gone to St. Louia, and will,
I hear, go to Fremont. I told him to call on
you. I have received a very friendly letter
from C. Britz; also, an official letter from the
Legislature of Wisconsin, which was also sent
to Lincoln, and in which I was proposed for
a Major Generalship.
“ Write to me as soon as yon hear something
ot interest and importance, for I receive hard
ly any letters or papers. Adieu.
