SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
Is Rome In Danger*
The “Courier” and “Southerner” are great
ly incensed at our late remarks about the pos
sibility of Rome being in danger from the en
emy, and about our having a correspondent
from that place. The “Courier” thinks we
are a “little one-horse daily," and that our
correspondent is a “ nuisance sf the first wa
ter." As this this is a more matter of opin-
on, for wmch there is no acknowledged um
pire to determine the question, we shall not
discuss it, We only record our opinion to the
contrary.
The •• Southerner” “ cannot permit us to tell
Yankees the way to Rome, and what to do
when they get there," without entering its
protest, and “ bogs us to let Rome alone nay
promises to treat us’if wo will do so. We beg
the “Southerner to be easy. We shall not tell
the Yankees anything they don’t know. We
ear you are like the ost r ich when it thrusts
its head in the sand—supposing it is then out
of sight of its pursuers. We conceive Rome
to be in danger; and for so thinking, and
urging a sufficient force to be sent to its pro
tection, we are taken to task by these would-
be Romans, and told plainly that wo have
given offense! This we regard as “ the most
unkindest cut of all.” If Rome is not in dan
ger, why the manifestations of fear and trepi
dation that we learn were exhibited by its
inhabitants when they heard the enemy were
at Gunter’s Landing? Why the public meet-
ngs, and the organisation of military compa
nies for the defense of that place against the
attacks of the Yanks from Gunter’s Landing?
Why the drills every evening, and the send
ing out of pickets daily to watch and report
the movements of the enemy? Why are
pickets still kept out in the direction of Sand
Mountain?—the way we said the Yankees
intended to come. Let the “Southerner" an-
wer these questions satisfactorily.
Passengers by the “Cherokee” from Greens-
port, Alabama, which arrived at Rome on
aturday morning last, reported that the ene
my yfero making their way in the direction of
Rome, from Gunter’s Landing, we are reli
ably informed. We suppose the “Southern
er" and “ Courier” will both be horrified at
this statement. Surely they don’t desire the
people of Rome and the State to lie supinely
on their backs, shutting their eyes and ears
to all sense of danger, till the enemy is upon
them and they are bound hand and foot?
If the foundries at Rome are worth preser
ving, we ought to have a force at that place
sufficient to keep off the enemy. If it is [de
sirable or necessary to preserve the State
Road to Chattanooga, the enemy should not
get possession of Rome sb a point d'appui from
wbfch to flank the road and destroy the
bridges. If tnere was nothing at stake in the
fall of Rome, more than the inconvenience
and lass it would be to the inhabitants, we
would uot urge its protection as we do, but we
have important interests at stake there which
wo cannot, except as a last possible resort,
afford to lose.
Both the Rome papers have made a disin
genuous attempt to deny the statement cf our
correspondent that a manufactory for small
arms was established in that place. We ask
them this simple question, and desire a direct
answer, with no dodging: Is there an estab
lishment in Rome for the manufacture of
small arms ?
Now we have been chided by these Rome
papers, and a few individuals, for giving this
information to the Yankees. We have no
doubt the Yankees knew it before we did; and
even if they did not, and they do find it out
by our publishing it, if we succeed in waking
up the government or people to a sense of the
danger and cause them to shake off their
lethargy and do something to prevent their
coming,Is it not much better than for every
body and everything to be quiet until the
Philistines bo upon us?
As to the slang so freely indulged by the
“S utherner,” we shall not imitate it. We
sha 1 pass it by. We care nought for it. No
one resorts to it who has plenty of sound ar
gument to go upon.
Rome Again.
We invite attention to-day to the intereat
ing letter of our Rome correspondent. Snrely
those good people who hnve so much blamed
us for “ pointing out their condition to the
enemy,” have sadly misapprehended their
real condition and our duty in the premises.
The statement he makes fully confirms and
bears out our previous assertion that the
Yankees knew all about the place before we
did, One of those engine thieves, it appears,
was prowling round through the city for some
days. The ringleader of those thieves is a
man well known to many in our city. He
has traveled over a large portion of the South
—having been here several times since the
fall of Nashville—ostensibly on business with
some of our principal men—but no doubt
spying out the land. Others are doing the
same thing all over the South. The idea of
keeping knowledge from Ihe Yankees by
keeping it out of the newspapers is non
sense. It is like the ostrich putting its head
in the in the sand, we again repeat. If the
Yankee cavalry are at Gunter’s Landing
Rome is in danger; and we are constrained,
in the discharge of our duty, to say so.
We do not have any idea they would spe
cially desire to take and hold Rome ; they
could not do it permanently, and it would be
worth nothing to them if they could. The
destruction of its arms manufactories, is the
object; and we again tell the people of Geor<
gia, the Governor of the State, and the Con
federate Government, that there is danger—
not only of a destruction of these manufac
tories, but of a flank movement from thence
upon the State Road bridges.
N. B.—We will thank our correspondent to
send us the strawberries. We have not con
sulted the editors of the Intelligencer, but
will engage they wont call him a speculator
Correction.
The “ Commonwealth ” of Saturday laBt,
says that we published on the 28th March
that “ Fort Macon was blown up by the reb-
else, and the rebel Bteamer Nashville was
burnt, the day Gen. Burnside occupied New
bern.”
Now, if there had been any disposition to
deal fairly with us, the editor would have
stated that this information was a telegram
from Fortress Monroe to the Northern news
papers. It came to us as such, and as such
was published in our paper,
The editor again says that we published on
the 10th instant, that “the Virginia had gone
out and captured the Monitor, bringing her
into Norfolk.”
We stated no euoh thing ; and if the editor
of the Commonwealth had been disposed to
deal fairly, he would not have thus misrepre
sented us. We said that passengers by the
Georgia Railroad reported that passengers
by the South Carolina Railroad reported that
a dispatch to that effect had been received in
Charleston. We expressed great doubts of
its truth at the time, but said it might possi
bly be so and we not know it, as the wires to
this place had then been down nearly 24
hours.
We cannot indulge in vomiting out poison
ous vituperation, which is bo characteristic
of the editor of the Commmonwealth. The
Convedkbact is not a blackguard sheet, and
cannot thus pollute its columns to gratify the
editor of the Commonwealth. Let him have
all the glory to be gained by ocoupying that
field alone. We have no ambition in that
line. Therefore, we pass unnoticed his re
maining remarks coaoerning us.

CHAPTER I.
GENERAL BEK ARKS AHD REFLECTIONS.
1. The system of Cyrus for promoting the in
dividual excellence of soldiers.
Among the ancients, and especially among
the Persians, Greeks and Romans in their
palmiest days, great attention was paid to
cultivating individual excellence and perfec
tion in their soldiers ; hence it was that their
armies were usually composed of heroes—of
“mighty men of valor”—of men thoroughly
acquainted with all the details of their duty,
ready for, and equal to, every emergency.—
Hence also their mighty achievements, which
are looked upon with wonder and astonish
ment at the present day, and will continue to
be so regarded to the latest periods ef time.—
Xenophon, in his admirable life of Cyrus the
Great- a work worthy of attentive perusal by
all—details the Persian system of education,
and tells us, with regard to the system of in
dividual military training adopted by Cyrus
when he took command of the Persian con
tingent in the war of the Medes against the
Assyrians:
“The things he (so) appointed were these:
to the private man, to make himself a good
soldier, obedient to his commanders; ready to
undergo labor; to bo enterprising in dangers,
but consistently with good order; to be skill
ful in the military exercises; fond of having
his arms beautiful and in good condition,
and in all such matters desirous of praise.—
To the leader of five—to make himself such
as it became the private man to be, and to do
his utmost to make his fire likewise such.—
To the leader of ten—to make his ten such.—
To the eaptain—to do the same lor his com-
to the colonel—for his regiment; and
pany
Major John H. Steele.
We take pleasure in announcing that this
gentleman has been employed by the propri
etors of the “Intelligencer" as editor of that
journal, who thus far have not treated the
Major with sufficient courtesy to make the
announcement through their columns. Our
intercourse with the Major has always been
pleasant. He is a courteous, clever gentle
man and a fine writer; but we never should
have known he was the editor of the “Intel
ligencer" but for his unfortunate misunder
standing of a portion of our remarks on ex
tortion, martial law prices, Ac.—which we
explained yesterday.
Funeral of Gen. Ben McCulloch.
We find the following in the Stale Gazette
published at Austin Texas, the 12th April:
The remains of Gen. Ben McCulloch, the
hero of Oak Hills, the pride and boast of the
army of the west, were ou Thursday, with all
the usual pomp and ceremony attending such
occasions, laid by the side of Burleson, Hemp*
hill and McLeod. The body lay in state in
the Representative Hall from 4 P. M. on
Wednesday until 2 P. M. on Thursday last.
At 11 o'clock alter prayer from Rev. Mr.
Philips and Bishop Gregg, Capt. John Henry
Brown who acted as aid to Gen. McCulloch
in the action in which he lost his life enter
tained the large concourse of citizens that
crowded the large Representative Hall with
an address narrating the thrilling incidents
of the battle-field,, and eloquently portrayed
the military accomplishmenia, patriotism,
heroism and noble single heartedness of our
gallant Ranger General.
Gen. Henry McCulloch being present, re
marked in a voice tremulous with emotion,
whose accents reached the hearts and filled
the eyes of all present, that his brother had,
in his will, commended hiB soul to his God,
and bequeathed his body to his State, and
that he now, as the executor of that will, gave
the body to ibe Executive, and with it bis
own life. Got. Lubbock, in his own inimita
ble and happy way, responded to the remarks
of Gen. H. McCulloch. It is impossible for
now us to give a synopsis of what he said.—
He siirred the hearts of the audience to their
profoundest depths and awakened or aroused
a feeling of intense patriotic enthusiasm we
have never seen excelled, which filled the
lofty chamber with the deafening shouts of
the thousands assembled, sufficient if aught
on earth were so, to quiches again to life the
slumbering hero, who, wrapped in ihe ban
ner of his country, lay in state in their
midst.
The concourse that attended the body to
the grave was the largest ever assembled in
the State, the procession more than a mils
long.

The Richmond correspondent ot the Char*

Dr. Shumate, of Fauquier eonniy, shot a
Yankee Major for atiemping to violate the
chamber of his daughter, and was immediate*
ly killed by other Yankees who had quartered
themselves in his hoase. This is the way the
Yankees set to work to restore the “Union
feeling. ” Murder is the eoin they offer for
love.

in the same manner to the rest of the com
manding officers, to render themselves unex
ceptionable and blameless; and to tale care
that those who were under their command
should, in their several stations, make those
under them ready to do their duties. The re
wards he proposed in this contention "were
these: to the colonels, who by their care ap
peared to have made the best reg aients, lobe
made commanders of a thousand; to .hecap
tains, who appeared to have made themselves
the best companies, to be colonels; to the
leaders of ten, that approved themselves the
best, to be advanced to the degree iff captain?;
to the leaders of fire in like manner to be ad
vanced to the degree of leaders of ten; and
to the private man that behaved the best, to
be advanoed to the degree of leaders of five.
In the first place, therefore, all these officers
were well served by those they commanded ;
and then all those other honors, suitable to
every one, attended them. * * *
He proposed also certain rewards of victory
to whole regiments and companies. So like
wise to whole tens and fives, if they appeared
to be the most obedient to their commanders,
and to perform the things before mentioned
with the greatest ardor and readiness; and
the rewards to these were such as were the
most proper to t>9 bestowed in common on a
number of men."
2. Probable results of suck a system in our
^How admirable and boneficial would be the
infiuenee which such a System would have
upon the individual excellence of our soldiers
and the general efficiency of the entire army.
The private soldier would devote himself with
more energy and serai to the discharge of his
duties, and would strive in every way to qual
ify himself for and to deserve promotion; the
non-commissioned officer would aspire to a
commission and endeavor to deserve it; the
commissioned officers would enter into a gen
erous rivalry with regard to the efficiency of
their companies and regiments—would seek
out the deserving for encouragement and pro-
motion, and the worthless for punishment. In
every conceivable way would tLe tone snd
efficiency of the army be improved.

gress has passed an act authorizing the Pres
ident to reward distinguished skill and valor
by promotion.]

Among the Greeks and Romans, Philoso
phy, Oratory and Arms were the three chief
departments of instruction.
Their philosophy inculcated and carried
into daily practice tbfi noblest sentiments of
humanity—as honor, justice, courage, patri
otism, hatred of wrong end oppression, and
love of right; in fine, every characteristic of
humanity, which, although sullied and con
cealed by the rices of our fallen nature, bears
the sump of Divinity, and declares the truth
of the record that man was made in the im
age of the Creator. Their oratory enabled
to giro noble and eloquent utterance to
tha sentiments inspired by the cultivation cf
such goi-li » attributes—enabled them to set
forth the practice of theca virtues in such an
attractive manner, that they became nation
al characteristics; oy it their hearts ware
fired, their purposes steadfast, their arms
strengthened in the defence of their rights
against aggression, and their military educa
tion made them secure. Patriotism, patriotic
and heroic actions, were the special themes
of their poets and orators* They endeavored
to outvie each other in placing them in the

Some of our citizens, Messrs. Editors, have
been lampooning you most unmercifully, but
unjustly I think, for your precautionary edi
torial in the Confederacy a few days ago, call
ing the attention of the State and Confederate
authorities to tho importance of defending
Romo. Tney say that you and your corres
pondent, “Wh»t Not,” are almost guilty of
high treason for informing tho Yankees that
we have actually a cannon foundry, a rifle,
musket and pike manufacturing establish
ment here, and for notifying them that Rome
is really a place of some importance to our
government! Oh! the consummate wisdom
and prudence of these reticent patriots!
Wonder if the idea baa never flitted through
their prudential minds that tho Yankees have
now, and have had since the commencement of
the war,spies all over the South, w ho have kept
their government perfectly posted up, not on
ly as to the movement of our army, but aiso
as to the points in the Confederate States
where cannon and other implements ol death
were manufactured? It is now an ascertain
ed fact, that one of the Yankee emissaries,
who captured the engine at Big Shanty two
weeks ago, had been prowling about Rome for
several days previous to that wonderful ex
ploit on the State Road. He, of course, didn’t
find out, when here, that the Messrs. Noble
were making big guns, by the dozen a week,
for our government, and that we had a pike
and small arm .manufacturing establishment
here also, and that our little mountain city
was in fact a place of some consequence, and
worth at least the ammunition it would take
to capture it! The old maxim that “the best
way to avoid danger is to prepare to meet it,”
is a truism that these grumbling wisc-ccres
have forgotten, if they ever knew it. A large
imjority of your readers here commend your
course and thank you for your timely warn
ing in behalf of our city.
Our farmers are all busy planting corn, and
are living a fine season for it. In a short
trip tdithe country yesterday, I noticed a
number of fields of corn of tho ear y planting,
up, and some of it large enough to plough.
The promise of a universal fruit crop is bet
ter in this locality than it has been fir years,
and without some unforeseen disaster we will
have, during the summer and autumn, all
kinds of fruit in the greatest profusion. If I
thought your neighbor of the Intelligencer
would not accuse me of ‘ speculating’ in straw®
berries, I would send to him and yourself a
basket ot the very first of the season!
The Rev. Mr. Jones, the able, pious and
popular Pastor of the Preabyt rian Church in
our city, after an absence of eight months, a
Chaplain to the Eigifth Georgia Regiment, in

He has a warm place in the affections of our
people, of all denominations, and they have
cordially welcomed him to his home in our

A Few Words to Business Correspon
dents.
When writing on business, maka tha busi
ness part of your letter very short—state dis
tinctly, in a few words, what the business is
which you write about.
If you send money, mention the amount
and tell what it is for; and be sure to have
the amount sent, correspond with the amount
named. If it is for a new subscription say so:
and if to renew an old subscription name that
fact also.
Always state distinctly whether you want
Daily or Weekly.
When you change the direction from one of
fice Is another, be sure to name both offices-tell
where ft has been previously sent an t where
you want it to go to, Unleg? you do this we
can’t make any change. We cannot undertake
to look through eight ponderous volumes, con
taining eight thousand names, to ascertain a
single fact which a man in writing a letter
could mention so easily.
Always write the came of jour post office,
county and State, and your name, in a VERY
PLAIN HAND.
Letters on business should contain the few
est possible number of words that wifi fully
convey to us all the business information you
wish to send us. If you have any compliments,
criticisms or suggestions to make, or write
something for publication, don’t mix it with
your business. Let it be on a separate sheep
A little attention to these suggestions on the
part of our correspondents, will relieve us of
much perplexing labor, and themselves of
many complaints about irregularity in receiv
ing their papers, and inattention to the.r re
quest;.
Friends, p'easeiake notfpeef this mat
ter and govern yourselves accordingly.
The. late battle of Shiloh has greatly dis
concerted the Federal programme. Tha ane-
my has not only been whipped upon his own
chosen ground and in his own camp, but ho
has been cur'-generated. Southwestern men
have met Northwestern men, and thongh in
ferior in numbers and indifferently armed,
they have gained a decided advantage over
them No one who witnessed the late battle
will question the courage of the Northwest or
their familiarity in the use of their arms.—
They fought brrvely, aod the splendid guns
ieft by them on the field show that they wore
well armed. Indeed, the Grand Army that
marched out of Manassas, admirable as its
outfit was, was not so well equipped or dis»
ciplined as the Army of the Tennessee. As
Gen. Premiss remarked, they were tho boot
troops in the service of the Federal Govern*
ment. And yet the Southwestern men prov
ed themselves more than a match for them.
And why ? Because they fought at their own
doors, and before the eyes of their wives and
little ones. Shot-guns and smooth-bore mus
kets in the hands of men standing upon their
own soil, and fighting for their own hearth-
stones, will ever be found more effective than
the most approved weapons in the hands of
an invader -
The enemy may gain occasional advanta
ges over us, and may even force us to take
up a new line of defence; but enough has al
ready transpired to’satisfy any intelligent
observer that the Federal campaign in the
Southwest will end in a disaster. The cli
mate, the water, and Southern marksmanship,
ana Southern generalship, have already be
gun to tell upon the numbers and spirit of
the Northern army. The hospitals in I’adu-
cah and Nashville, and along the Ohio, aro
full of sick, and the late battle will only add
to their Duinbers. Letters picked up on the
battle field contain abundant evidence that
the Federal troops, though bursting with
pride, and confidence, are tired enough of the
war ; and late Northwestern papers, received
here; coutaiu earnest appeals to the people
to contribute of their means for the support
of “ the brave men on the field, ” and for the
comfort and welfare of the sick in the hos«
pitals. All these things are finger-bearde
which point in the same direction. Should
we whip the enemy in a great pitched battle,
or the boasted campaign in the Southwest
come to naught in the end, one or other of
which is sure to occur, the war may be
brought to an end upon our ova terms.
I have no change to report in the position
of affairs at Fort Pillow. The gunboats still
keep up the bombardment, but witboutresults.
The transports have not been able to ascend
Forked Deer river, on account of the
immense amount of drift-wood in the stream.
It is now beiieved that no landing has beea
made from that river.
