•‘IT 18 NOW TOO LATE TO RETIRE
FROM THE CONTEST. THERE 18 NO
RETREAT BUT IN CHAIN8 AND SLAVE
RY."—Patrick Henry in the first Revolution.
The Intelligencer on Speculators and Ex
tortioners.
In our issue of the 9th instant, we charged
that the Intelligencer, Governor Brown’s spe
cial principal State organ, in its seal advoca
ting martial law to regulate prices, “was dai-
1/ tdvocatiDg a moat radical and unwarrant
able interference with private rights.”
That journal, on the 11th instant, gave this
charge “a positive and flat denial
On tho 12th instant we produced the proof,
overwhelmingly, to sustain our charge by
quotations from the editorials and communi
cations which had from to time appeared in
that joarnal.
T«e Intelligencer, in its issue of the 13th in
stant, attempts a reply, but utter y fails to
touch the merits of the question It no more
interposes “positive and flat denials," nor
does it “gently insinuate” even against tho
undeniable and overwhelming torrent of pos
itive proof which we produced; but it has not
the manliness to come to the scratch and own
up.
It first attempts, what (we regret to say)
we are forced to regard as a weak subterfuge,
lo repudiate any responsibility for the senti
ments expressed through its columns by cor
respondents, ^undissented from either then or
since—nay, even indorsed an J applauded ed
itorially in some instances—and those not
specially indorsed, in no wise dissimilar in
views or sentiments from th ise-that are ) We
say, with regret, that we ars forced to regard
this as a weak subterfuge, though we honeut-
ly believe it is the best defense that could be
made—sorry as it is—if any at all were at
tempted.
Wo have this to say: No editor, who has a
T iews of hiM own on
snacKied, his own rijanTEas a^tfe M >hft
his paper may or may not teach or advocate ;
whose journal is his
it to his neighborhood to supply the wants of
his neighbors. While he is doing this, he is a
“traveling biped;" but the real extortioner
or engrosser, who “devours every green thing
of promise" as far he can, generally does
very little traveling. He is more like a mou
sing owl that sits quietly upon his perch till
he can pounce upon his prey. If he does trav
el, it is generally over a short circuit -not to
districts where articles are abundant, to bring
them where they are needed; this field is oc
cupied by men engaged in legitimate merchan
dise, which has no special attractions for the
speculator, extortioner or engrosser. This evil
character generally operates upon the spot
where he may be, or in the regions contigu
ous ; but he seldom has a “ local habitation"
for his business. He is what the laws in some
sections denominate, an “itinerant trader;"
in others, a “fores taller,” “engrosser," Ac.
The excuse by which the Intelligencer tries
to sereen itself from tho force of our exposure
is singularly unfortunate, and fails entirely.
Come, friends, pick your flint and try again.
Tell us whom you allude to. You surely did
not mean to apply your severe denunciations
against regular honorable merchants. Your
language, as we have shown, cannot apply to
real extortioners. Then tell us who it is.
The Intelligencer’s charges that we have
dodged the real issue and endeavored to place
it in a false position, we regard as ungener
ous, unfair and unprofessional. This point
we will not discuss, further than to say that
if such be the fact, we have been unfortunate
and are not aware of it. Such has not been
our aim.
There are extortioners among us who are
making ungodly gain out of the necessities of
tho people. Our columns for the last six
months will testify that we have labored to
lighten the burdens and lessen the evils
which these characters inflict upon society.
Wo have no defense or excuse for them, and
have endeavored to heap public odium upon
them; but we do contend that the evil wi,l
cure itself much sooner and much more effec
tually than martial law to regulate the pri
ces; and we are fully convinced that all the
evi's which the most unbridled sway of these
‘bipeds” could inflict upon us will be neither
so serious nor lasting, as lor martial law to
•stablish the prices of articles of necessity.
A philosopher once said it were better “to
bear the ills we have than rush into those we
know not of." We indorse the wisdom of this.
How much more should we avoid those that
Sensation News.
The Atlanta "Commonwealth" has been
driving a smart business for some time past,
by publishing news “from Nashville—Direct,”
“From the West," “Matters at Corinth,” Ae.
A few papers in the country have snapped up
these reports with infinite gusto. How the
editor obtains information of this kind we
cannot imagine, except upon the hypothesis
tbaS he catches up and ventilates every un
founded and idle rumor afloat. We could get
up sensation items every day on kindred sub
jects; but we prefer giving facts, or matters
that are at least pretty well authenticated, to
such tales as are unreasonable to a discerning
mind upon their very face. From the avidity
with which many of the " Commonwealth’s'’
news items by “letters received," “reliable
gentlemen," Ae , are caught up by some news
papers, it is evident that their editors are not
as well posted on current events and common
geography as they should be, or else they are
exceedingly careless about what goes into
their papers. Let us illustrate.
In the “ Commonwealth” of the 17th inst.
appeared the following:
“ From the West—By a private letter we
learn that General Kirby 8mith, with a large
force, is at Bridgeport, Jackson county, Ala.,
seventeen miles from Huntsville, where he
will establish headquarters for the prssent.
Ii was to this place that our forces, 2,000 strong,
retreated, when the Yankees entered Eunts-
vihe. A gentleman just escaped from the lat
ter town, gives the very pleasing intelligence
that they have found no ay m path iters of their
cause there, and the ladies are verv haughty
and indignant to both Federal officers and
soldiers. As our forces now have possession
of Stevenson, and are being largely reinforced,
it is believed that the Yankees will soon evac
uate Huntsville, as a point too much exposed
to suit their purposes. Gen Smith is rebuild
ing a bridge across the Tennessee river, des
troyed by our forces, and he will then, no
doubt, make an attempt to form a junction
with General Beauregard."
This article has been copied into a number
of papers. Let us dissect it-with regard to its
actual truth:
1st. Kirby Bmith was not at Bridgeport—as
all intelligent persons were aware—but was
at Knoxville.
2d. Bridgeport is seventy five mile3 from
Huntsville, instead of seventeen.
3d. We did not have 2,000 men at Hunts
ville when the Yankees took that place; hence,
they could not have retreated to Bridgeport,
or any where else.
4ih. The “intelligence” that the ladies of
Huntsville were “ haughty and indignant" to
we know, from examples now transpiring! the Federals, however “ pleasing" is nothing
around us as well as from all history and j more than everybody knew without being
common sense, are infinitely worse? If mar- told. It is not worth making a news item of
tial law is needed to deal with traitors, let us —nay, it would seem to indicate that tho edi
have it; but we most earnestly protest against tor had previous doubts as to their fidelity to
any interference with our commerce, espe- the South; that the knowledge of their eon-

Public Meeting in Catoosa—Home Guard
Organized.
Ringgold, Ga. f April 23, 1862.
At a meeting of the citizens of Ringgold
and vicinity, convened at the Court House
~for taking into consideration what means
should be adopted to arrest the progress of
the Federal army through oar bounty, on
motion of Judge D. S. Anderson, Col. C.
A. Cloud was called to the Chair, and W. L.
Whitman appointed Secretary.
On motion of Capt. E. M. Dodson, a com
mittee of five was appointed to report busi
ness for the action of this meeting, consiting
of the following gentlemen to wit: JudgeD.
8. Anderson, Capt. R. F. Cary, Capt. E. M.
Dodson, M. Dickson, Esq., and Col. A. T.
Hackett. After a short absence, the Com
mittee reported the following preamble and
resolutions, which were unanimously adop
ted :
Whereas, the exigencies of the times are
such as to require that every loyal citizen of
this county should render all the assistance
in bis power towards freeing our country
from the presence of an invading foe, and
whereas, we, a portion of the citizens afore
said, have met to devise suitable means of
defense, therefore
Resolved, That we recommend to the citi
zens of this county, that every man in the
community capable of bearing arms, be en
rolled as a guard, for the protection of our
homes. That they regularly organize, and
hold themselves in readiness to be called out
at a moment’s warning, in case it becomes
necessary.
Resolved, That we proceed immediately to
■elect suitable officers ; and that every mem
ber of this meeting pledge himself to see his
neighbors, and get them interested in this
movement.
Resolved, That this meeting send a respeot-
ful petition to His Excellency Gov. Brown,
to furnish us with three hundred guns, or so
many as he can spare us, with a suitable
supply of amuuition, and that suitable steps
be taken to gather up all the fire arms in the
county, to be held for the use of the Guards.

nr GHRTBCDC CS\*T.
Whera rages fierce the battle's doom,
Where thousands fall and die,
There rides a brave and gallant form,
Rushing to victory.
He charges in the thickest fight,
Waving his sword on high,
Cheering his men to deeds of might—
To conquer or to die.
Oh! thero, amid triumphant whoops,
That fatal bullet came!
His dying breath cheers on his troops
To deeds of greater fame.
Those eagle eyes close to their rest,
Th’ immortal spark has flown—
The hero falls on Triumph's breast,
And Freedom claims her own.
The cannon’s roar a knoll doth toll
For him, who midst alarms,
Breathes out his brave, heroic 8ju1
In victory’s bright arms.
On Shiloh’s consecrated plain,
Roll on, thou tide of war;
A country mourns the gallant stain,
On that Aeeldema.
Oh ! there our noble chieftain bled.
We would have died to save ;
A Nation mourns the hero dead,
A People weep the brave.
The gallant warrior stands upon
The pinnacle of Fame;
Glory & halo bright has thrown
Round his undying name.
Pity will drop for him a tear,
When we his story tell;
That spot shall e’er bo honored whore
Immortal Johnston fell.

If he had it here he oould, no doubt, sell itat
