Tlie Governor of Alabama, in his message
io the extraordinary session of the Legisla
ture of his State, in view of the exposed con
dition of some portions of the State, recom
mends such legislation as shall enable the
State authorities to control the slave labor of
the State for the purpose of constructing for
tifications and other means of TIefense on the
riverB and bays. He also reoommends ample
appropriations from the Treasury to be made,
in order to cover liabilities which may be in
curred thereby, and all other outlays which
may be deemed needful for the better protec
tion and security of the State.
The Governor considers the question ■ ot
supplying the people with salt, one of very
great importance, and recommends the ap
pointment of a Joint Commission empowered
to visit the salt land and examine the condi
tion of the works and the conduct *of those
engaged, and all points connected with the
business, necessary to enable the Legislature
to approximate the cost at which salt can be
made and to ascertain the best mode for de
veloping the supply. *
The price of salt he says should be made
uniform if possible, and that if private parties
are unwilling to accept reasonable profits
upon their capital and labor thus employed,
he would recommend, as the true policy, that
the State take possession of all the works,
with authority to press laborers and every
thing needed, and operate them, under a reg
ulated system for the common benefit of the
people In speaking of allowing the citizens
of other states to manufacture salt for their
own use at any of the works, except those on
the State reservations the Governor says:
"United as are these Confederate States, in a
common destiny, and mutually dependent, as
they are, upon each other, I trust that the
General Assembly of Alabama will concur in
the expediency and propriety of inviting the
citizens of other States to the salt supply
which they may^obtain within our limits, by
devoting their own labor and capital to its de
velopment.”
In behalf ot the indigent families of absent
soldiers, a liberal appropriation is recom
mended, which should be disbursed without
any invidious distinction among the needy
families of absont soldiers, whether volun
teers or conscripts.
On the subject of distilleries and the retail
ing of spirits, the Governor says:
I recommend that authority be given for
distillation of alcohol or spirits, whioh may
bo needful for medical uses within the State,
and also, for whatever reasonable amount may
be found to be the just proportion of Ala
bama, for a like purpose in the Confederate
army. By confining the distilleries to locali
ties where grain is abundant; fixing a rea
sonable prico for the spirits; restraining by
adequate penalties, the parties engaged in the
business, and those who may purchase from
them for medical supplies, it is believed this'
object may be obtained without serious di
minution of the supply of grain. And I re
commend that the retailing of spirituous li
quors in any city, town or neighborhood where
•State or Confederate troops may be stationed 1
or rendezvoused, be prohibited during their
sojourn, and that stringent regulations be
adopted to accomplish this result.
On the subjects of the Comscript Law, amf
the State Militia, he says :
But whatever doubts may have arisen as to
the powers of Congress, ail agree that the
public oxigency demanded the adoption of
the most stringent measures to pYeserve the
<fiicicncy and increase the Btrenglh of the
Army.
A reorganization of the State Militia is
considered indispensable, and a change in
ihe Military Code is recommended, by which
it will be made to embrace as militia, all able
bodied male citizens of the State, above the
age of sixteen and under the age of sixty
years, who may not be actually engaged in
the Confederate service.
$500 to tKe shldiers who are in the field, and
there arc many others able to do the same, and
Vrcn more, and dwtbUess WOuM be wlUing if
they were to. take into *eri?»s consideration the
claims and vjthntswf the suftring brave. There
arc nnwieroififorgMiuationa through which con
tributions be forwarded,'tihd certainly no
one lives in this community who does not feel
under special obligations to aid some company
orTneridS, in addition to the duty which lie owes
the common cause.
The plea that the Goterninent wight to pro
vide for the soldiers, affords them but little com
fort whtfe they stand guard in the frosts and
snows of the mountains ot \ irginia without a
sufficiency of clothing to cover their bodies. As
an example of the condition of our soldiers we
will mention the condition of Capt. Seago’s
company, as detailed by himsslf on the morning
of the 23d inst. Hard fighting, disease and ex
posure had reduced his command to 37 men.
Seved had no blankets, iour or five were bare
foot, half of them ragged, with only one suit
and no socks. The condition of the regiment
(20th Georgia) was about the same as that ol
the company mentioned. Their prospects for
being provided for were more hopeless in re
gard to bedding than anything else. Most ot
them slept cold every night. Blankets, quilts
comforts, or any kind ot bedding—even it made
of cotton goods—would afford them very great
protection in their Buffering condition.
The Georgia Hospital and Relief Association
has undertaken a laborious task, which nothing
but the prompt action of the whole people can
render sucessful, while a failure to accomplish
their object wouldone of the saddest calami
ties and most disgraceful occurrences which ev-
belel any people. It would result in the death
of many a Georgian, for want of the aid which
the people at home are fully able to afford them.
Will those who are proud of their brothers and
sons who are fighting the battles of liberty sub
mit to so humiliating a calamity ? The Mayor
of the city has called a meeting at the City Hall
next Tuesday night for the purpose of devising
ways and means of furnishing clothing for the
soldiers. Patriotism, duty and humanity must
be discarded by those who fail to lend their aid.
Siege Artillery Battalion.
We again invite the attention of conscripts
and others to the advertisement in another col
umn calling for volunteers to fill up the three,
companies of siege artillery whicii are to com
prise the battalion of that class of troops re
cently authorized by the Secretary of War. As
this corps is designed lor the defense ot Savan
nah, as it will be, when completed a most efiec
tive body ot tioop3 (or local defense, we desire
to see the companies speedily filled with able-
bodied men, anti the battalion organized. Tbe
service in these corps presents many induce
ments to those who, under the conscript act, are
liable to immediate enrollment, and affords a
most favorable opportunity to exempts whose
patriotic impulses prompt them to take an active
part in the defense of Savannah —who desire,
when the day of battle arrives, to stand by the
big guns and have a place in the picture.
Volunteers entering these corps will escape
the disabilities (I conscription, and besides the
bounty of fifty dollars, will receive one dollar
per month more than is paid to infantry. As
heavy artilery, employed in mainlaing our lines
of local defense, they will not fie ordered to
distant points while our own seaboard is threat
ened.
Major Gallie, who has been authorized by the
Secretary of War to raise a battalion, is an ac
complished officer and experienced artillerist,
while the gentleman associated with him pos
sess all the requisite qualifications lor the posi
tions resigned them, having been for many years
active members and oflifets of the Chatham
Artillery, and having had, since the com
mencement of the war, practical experience in
the management ol heavy guns in the forts and
batteries near Savannah.
We take the foregoing from the Savannah
News of day before yesterday. This organiza
tion is to he one ol the most important in tue
defense ol Georgia. We will here remaik that
Rev. C. W. Howard is raising a company to be
attached to this battalion. Persons wishing to
join must make application to him at Kingston
Bartow county, at an early day. This force is
to be stationed permanently at Savannah tor the
defense of our own soil.
Our Needy Soldiers.
Some time ago we published the stirting ap
peal ol " P. W. A.” in behalf of the needy
soldiers in the field, not doubting that it would
touch the strongest sympatnies of every one
who read it. On the morning that it appeared
we happened to be in a neighboring city, and
fell some interest in observing the effect that
the appeal would have on the people. A number
ot persons who had a leisure hour were discus
sing common-place affairs, when A. asked B. if
he had read the paper and what it contained. B.
replied that he had read it and found nothing at
all worthy of notice except an article on coun
terfeits. Finances, markets and the where
abouts, and movements ot the army, fcc., were
discussed at length, without a single reference
to the condition and necessities of the soldiere.
Of course we could not believe that there exist
ed another party in the whole country, which
could be so totally callous in regard to the wel
fare ot the army.
Without uttering a word to the disparagement
of the various associations, which are acting
such a noble part for the relief of the suffering
soldiery, we feel constrained to bring the matter
home to our citizens who are able to enjoy the
comforts of civilized life—wear.over-coats, boots
and gloves, and sleep in beds of feathers and
blankets, while their greatest study iu business
is where and how they shall invest their surplus
money. —
Some day, the soldiers who may be able to
-urvive the perils of battle, and privations which
they are now suffering, Will return, and those
who would be prepared to hear them recount
‘heir toils, with a clear conscience should make
no longer delay to offer their assistance by con
tributing to the soldiers’ wants.

Marietta, Ga., Oct, 30. 1865
Editors Confederacy :
I observe in your paper a letter purporting to
have been-written by General Polk to Garrett
Davis, dated Columbus, January 28, 1862, and
which was said to have been read in a
public meeting or Convention by Dr. Vinton
of New York. This same letter was extensives
ly republished in the papers North and South in
August last, or^extracts-irom it, and brought out
the following denial of its aulhcnicity from
Bishop Elliott, in a letter addressed to the Sa
vsnnaft Republican, which you find below.
Respect fully, &.C., F.
Savannae, Sept. 2, 1862.
Mr. Editors :
You published yesterday, without any com
mem, a very silly letter purporting to have been
written by Bishop Polk, now acting as Major
General in the Confederate States army.
Anyone at all acquainted with Bishop Polk
knows at a glace, that such prolaue and scurrilous
words rieveT issued from his pen, but 1 happen
to have, tor the benefit ol those who do not know
the Bishop, conclusive evidence upon this par
ticular point.
I happened to be with Bishop Polk at King
ston, Ga., when a Nashville paper was handed
him by his son containing this very letter with
such comments upon it as might be expected to
proceed from a hireling Federal editor. Bishop
Polk at once pronounced it a vile forgery from
beginning to end.
Our people should be jon their guard against
everything that proceeds from Northern news
papers. Their editors seem to think that every
thing is fair in war which can injure the enemy,
and .uothingjwould be more fatal to our cause
than to make us distrustful of our prominent
citizens, whether in military or civil life, our
enemies are fast entitling themselves to the’ epi
thet of Cretians.
Very respectfully, your ob’t serv’t
STEPHEN ELLIOTT.
CoitM.A.iider M. F. Mai-rt —It affords us
no ordinary pleasure to state, as we may now
do withowt impropriety, that Com. M. F.
Maury has left Ihe Confederate States fur
Europe, and, if no accident has befallen him,
is now well on his way over. Tfce presence
of no living man in Europe is so well calcu
lated to exert an influence in our behalf as
that uf this eminent savan and ardent patri
ot, and if the policy of keeping unrecognized
envoys there is to be adhered to, the fact that
Commander M. is added to the number will
go far to reconcile those who, with ourselves,
had come to doubt the wisdom of the policy.
Wo do not aa often as we would like, have an
opportunity of commending the acts of the
Executive, and we therefore the more gladly
declare our unqualified approval and grati
fication in this instance. Wo do not know
ihe special mission on wnich Commander M.
goes, nor the country to which he is sent—

Correspondence or tlie ConstitnUonallst.
Vice-PresIdent Stcpl^§ Speech at Spar
ta, Ga.
Sparta, Oct. 2
Mr. Editor:
The short account which found its way into
the Columbus Times, and on which you make
commeuts in your editorial of the 23d instant,
touching some points in a speech delivered at
this place, by Vice President Stephens, on the
16th inst., was written by a gentleman who as
sures me that it was carelessly thrown ofi in a
private letter, which he was surprised to see ap
pear in print. Its omissions and inaccuracies
make an impression at variance with the objects,
tenor, aud declarations ot the speech itself, and
thus illustrate the injustice and mischief which
often result from tire improper publication of
private communications. The leading object of
the speech was to arouse the peopl
cessity of providing for our army. The army
was in immediate want ol clothes, blankets and
shoes, and thousands of them must suffer and
and die from the cold of the approaching winter
unless these wants are supplied. The Govern
ment could not do it, and the people must,'or
else be marked with the blackest ingratitude.—
His appeal upon this subject was so effective
that it was followed, on the spot, by a contribu
tion of more than two thousand dollars for the
soldiers front the county, in money, cloth, car
pets, blankets, and shoes. The plan which he
suggested was, for the people ot each county to
provide first lor their own soldiers, and in doing
so, for each contributor to select particular sol
diers lor whom he should undertake to provide,
until every soldier from the county should have
somebody at home to whom he couid lo.ok with
confidence for the supply ot all his necessaries.
In purchasing cloth and other materials, the
people migt act through some common agent,
bnt each contributor should personally see to it
that provision was made lor the particular sol-
dies under his care ; and then the articles should
be sent to the army and delivered into the very
hands*for whom they are intended, by some
agent ol the people’s own selection lor that par-
ticular purpose- This plan is now in operation
in his own county, and every soldier from that
county now has somebody at home who stood
sponsor For the supply of all his wants. The re
sult has been that the soldiers Irorn that county
have had all their necessities supplied, and the
same result would follow everywhere tnrough-
out the Confederacy if the same plan should be
adopted, and zealously and faithfully carried in
to effect.
This same general object of persuading the
people to provide tor their armies, led him to
speak of the regulation of our crops, for another
year, and during the war. He said our first care
should be to make an abundance of provisions
lor our armies in the field and lor our people at
home. There must he no mistake and no defi
ciency in this point. Our people had acted with
tat riot ism in planting their last crop, and he be-
oeved they would do so again. Just here, how
ever, he took occasion toexpress hisdissent from
a somewhat prevalent view that our cotton is a
disadvantage to us in our foreign relations, and
that our foreign policy require a suspension ot
its.production. .Some had supposed that such a
suspension would compel England to break up
the blockade in older to restore the production
and supply ol this article 11 prime necessity to
her vast manufacturing interest, but he had nev
er believed so ; and the result had proved that
he was right. On the contrary, nothing would
please the English Ministry better than such a
suspension during a series of years. Their idea
i§, that, in the absence of competition from our
belter and more cheaply produced article, the
cultivation ot cotton in the British dominions in
the East, could be carticd to a perfection that
would forever afterwards render them indepen
dent ol our supply, and transfer Irom us to Eng
land tbe sceptre ol King Cotton, it was, there
fore a vain expcction that a suspension of the
production of cotton on our part can ever drive
the present British Ministry into a breaking up
of the blockade, or the recognition of our inde
pendence, or into any other action beneficial to
our cause. We have no ground tp expect that
such a suspension would produce'Ply beneficial
rsflex from foreign governments. He, therefore,
did not believe that the lack ol cotton, or the
suspension of its produclimj'- g was to us any
source of power with for Qardeushire Gn the
contrary, he bclievtd tna.vy.s possession, if
wisely used, was the source of immense power.
While, therefore, a sotin home policy required us
to make most ample provision crops fur our ars
mies and people, he also believed that a wisefor-
eign po icy required us to produce as much cot
ton as we can consistently with the more im
portant home policy. He still believed that cot
ton was king, notwithstanding the loss of confi
dence in that theory on the part of some who
hud once been its warmest advocates ; but it
was important to understand the true nature of
its kingdom, lie had ever believed that its
kingdom was of a commercial and financial na-
lur<—not poltti d, as those had supposed who
had lost faun m its power; Upon this point,
Mr. Stephens touchtd but lightly in the speech
under consideration, but as 1 have often heard
him enlarge upon it in conversation, and as the
subject is ono of vast importance to our coun
try, I shall here take the liberty of pursuing his
idea to some of its striking results. To do so,
attention must be directed to the marked differs
ence which exists between the dispositions of
governments and foreign capitalists, especially
the British Government and British capitalists,
in regard to cq^Aot ton.
While Bniisnstatcsmen ate indulging dreams
of national aggrandizement in the distance, Bri
tish capitalists-are keenly alive to the realiza
tion ol present profits. They are eager to fur
nish us all our necessary supplies oi arms,
clothing, salt, &c., in exchange lor our
cottoii—quite as eager as we are to ex
change our cotton or anything else for these
supplies. The difficulty lies in the delivery of
our cotton. The blockade is the barrier between
them and us. We have seen how vain was the
expectation that the European governments
would break up this blockade. Our policy,
therefore, now is, and has been from the begin
ning, to break it up ourselves. To do this, we
must have ships of war--iron clad steamers—
able to cope with any in the world. These can
be procured in Europe with our cotton, but not
with our present currency. Let our Govern
nient buy the cotton so as io have control of it,
and then pledge it tu pay for the ships that are
to be used in opening at least one of our cotton
ports, and. it necessary in conveying the cotton
from us to Europe and our supplies from Europe
to us. The inauguration of this policy by our
Government and its distinct declaration to for
eign capitalists, would at once inspire confidence
on their part. They would accept a pledge of
our cotton, because they would see that we
were providing the means to secure its delivery.
There might be occasional captures of our cot
ton by the enemy, but there would be a com
mercial certainty that we could succeed in de
livering cotton|m Europe, tar more than enough
to meet all our necessary contracts there. Our
currency also would acquire a new value, be
cause it would serve the purpose of buying cot
ton in Europe. Our obligations, then, would be
convertible into cotton, which is just now more
desired there than the precious metals, and
would be preferred to the rival gold of cur ene
my. Mur cotton would thus be a commercial
instrument to supply our wants from Europe,
and a financial instrument to serve as the basis
of our currency.
To accomplish these results, our cotton must
be bought by our Government, and devoted, in
the first instance, to the purchase of the neces
sary ships of war. Mr. Stephens said these
could be bought with tbe sum niiich we are
spending in one month of the war. It must be
borne in mind, too, that our Government would
pay for them in cotton at a remarkably high
price. ’
In sgeaking of Gen. Lee’s expedition into
Maryland, Mr. Stephens said its sole object was
the capture ot Harper's Ferry, and that he con-
sidered the successful accomplishment ot that
object as the most brilliant achievement oi the
war, As a necessary part of the plan, he threw
a large portion of his army between the besieg
ed and the mam body ol the entmy in order to
cut them offfrom all relict by reinforcements — j
, battle of Sfearpsburg was the incidental re-
b«»» forming no part of the object in view, but
hot by anjr means unanticipated. Whatever
our enemies might say to the contrary, that
battle, also, was a victory—a decided viotpry fin
our side. *
1 do not pretend, Mr. Editor, to give ire(g»rt
of Mr. Stephen*’ speech, and I there hade con
fined myself to these points of it wbgR have
suffered frdim the omissions and inaccuracies^of
the accounts in the Columbus Times. I ask that
all papers which nive puMwhed that ^account
may also publish this correction of it.

From New Orleans.
By a gentleman just up from New Orleans,
the following informationIs gleaned about mai
ters and things in that unfortunate city. On
Wednesday last the new Abolition Brigade,
under Brigadier-General Weitzel, (late acting
Mayor of the city) consisting of seven regi
ments of infantry, (two of them negroes) a
squadron of cavalry, and four pieces of ar
tillery, were sent up the river. At ihe same
time five or six gunboats and transports sailed
down tbe river, bound for Berwick Bay to co
operate with the land forces. It was well un
derstood iu the city that this expedition of
pirates and robbers was intended to de
vastate that rich and beautiful country ly
ing in the neighborhood of the Bayon Teche.
This section of Louisiana abounds in sugar,
molasses and cotton, all of which, together
with the negroes, were to be "confiscated”
by these Abolition thieves.
The more decent of the Yankees in the city
had lately manifested the utmost dissatisfac-
ticn aud disgust, aipounting almost to a re
volt, at their forced association with the
blacks. A negro, in a captain’s uniform had
lately reprimanded a white sentinel on duty
at the Custom House, for refusing to salute
him as he passed in. A difficulty ensued, and
the sentinel tried to run the nigger through
with hiB bayonet. In consequence of this and
other demonstrations, Brute Butler had*made
a pathetic speech to his pet hirelings’, and
begged them, as they loved the "old flag,’ 1 to
forbear a little longer with the blacks^-they
were only to be used as soldiers for’a short
time—his army would soon be reinforced from
the North, (an item of some importance) and
then he would send the blacks where they
would no longer interfere with his soldiers.
Many persons were leaving the city who
had not taken the oath. They wer^bliged
to use every strategy and means f^Ebtain
passes, and with the powerful aid’^Kte ai-
mighty dollar, they generally succtHld. It
was rumored and believed that Butler intend
ed .to send out of the city those who had, in
the face of all intimidations, taken certifi
cates declaring themselves "enemies” of the
United States, and among this class, strange
as it may .appear, were many free colored
citizens.
Under the action of the infamous e,
tion act, the Provost Marshal had
held some sales of very valuable p
snch as silver ware, pictures, lib
fine household furniture.
Butler (the Beast) had changed his resi
dence from General Twiggs’ house to the cost
ly and elegant palace of Doctor Campbell, on*
the corner of St. Charles and Julia streets.—
