A Public Meeting.
A number of our prominent citizens have rev
quested us to say that a public meeting of the
citizens ot Atlanta is called to assemble at the
City Hall on Friday night. The object ia to re.
quest our Senator and Representatives in the
(legislature to use their influence to induce tbe
Legislature to call upon Congress to.lcvy a hea
vy tax upon the people tor the purpose of with
drawing a portion of the redundant currency
and of giving confidence to the finances of the
government.
The Provision Question.—In the Confeder
ate Senate on the 7th, Mr. Maxwell, of Florida,
submitted ths lotlowing joint resqjutions, relat
ing to the prodnetion of provisions, which were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, a atrong impression prevail through
out the country, that the war now being waged
against the people of the Confederate States
may terminate within the present year; and
whereas, this impression is leading many patri.
utic citizens to engage largely in ihe production
of cotton and tobacco, which they would not
otherwise do; and whereas, in the opinion of
Congress, it is' of the utmost importance, not
onty with a view to to the proper snbsistencc of
onr armies, bat (or the interest and welfare of
all tbe people, that the agricultural jabor of the
country should be employed chiefly'in the pro
duction ot a supply of food to meet every con
tingency. Therefore.
1. Resolved by the Congrett tf the Confederate
States of America, That it ia the deliberate
judgement of Congress that the people of these
a'tatrs, while hoping for peace, should look to
prolonged war as the only condition proffered by
the enemy, short ot subjugation; that every
preparation necessary to encounter such a war
should he persisted in; and that the amplest
supply of provisions ior armies and people,
should be the first object of all agriculturists;
therefore it is earnestly recommended that the
people, instead of planting cotton and tobacco,
shall direct their agricultural labor mainly to
the prodnetion of such crops as will insure a
sufficiency of food for all classes and for every
emergency, thereby with true patriotism, sub
ordinating the hope of gain to tho certain good
of the country.
2. Resolved, That the Preaidont is hereby re-
guested to isane a proclamation to tbe people oL
thsse States, urging upon them tbe necessity of
guarding against the great perils ot a short crop
ol provisions, and setting forth such reasons
tiisretor as hit. judgment may dictate.
A Kingston letter of the 13th ult.
published in the Diariode la.Marina of
Havana, says the TJ. S. steamer Vanderbilt
arrived there two days after the departure
of the Alabama, and wss unable to procure
coal or provisions, having no specie, and no
one being willing to take Treasury Notes.

(Signed) FRANK GARDNER,
Col. Commanding..
Editor* Southern Confederacy :
I propose to give your readers a fow facts,
with some reflections thereon; and I premise
by stating that I shall say nothing intended
to wound any man’s feelings, and nothing
that I fear to say before the public With my
proper signature attached.
I have been, and am yet pteased with tho
course you have pursued respecting (he im
preeminent or seizure of private property for
publio use. Pursue your course: you will
be sustained by nineteen out of every twenty
of our citizens throughout the City and coun
try. I will mention a ease of peculiar hard
ship:
An old gentleman living near CalhouD, lately
had about thirty sacks of flour—perhaps more
—in the depot at that place. It was seized
by an officer or agent of the government.—
This agent or officer learned that tho old man
had lour oxen whioh ho waa stall-feeding.—
He went to his house and took the steers.
The owner protested. He specially wanted
the tallow they would yield, and their hides
for his own use, ns he tanned his own hides
and mado shoes for his family and his ne
groes. lie offered to let tbe seizer have the
meat at a low price, if he eoul-i be permitted
'to keep the tallow and hides for his own use,
but the seizer -drove them off. Nothing could
move his compassion, unci he did not even tell
the old man that he'Had seized his flo >r. As
he was carrying the beoves away, however,
lie told one of the men driving them that old
Wilson could not thon help himself, as he had
his flour and beeves in his hands. This state-
inertt of the case I have no doubt ■ is true.—
The pay for these beeves and flour is not yet
sottled. The agent is offering to pay 7 or 8
cents gross for tbe beeves—about l-.alf tbe
price in this market. I have not It-arriud what
ho offered for the flour out tbe wants
$22 per 100 Jbo—tl»- v. trket j»i io* «t that
time.
I have thought for a Io ^ fame that the gov
ernment or its agents were oit-n jor hands
to make judicious trades. I give ydu one case
whioh 1 have authority to stale: A quarter
master ok some other person representing the
government, 1 understand, has contracted to
give $50 per aero for the wood on 50 acres of
land about threo miles South of the city. I
know the land, and. know that it is poorly
wooded; and I further know that by going a.
little farther, this privilege could have been
bought for considerable less monjy on land
bavin*; perhaps ten times as muoh wood.
Ono. more ease: Yon know that several
railroad presidents have announced that they
will reoeive no more freight exoept at ship
pers’ risk. It is. my opinion, and the opinion
of others also, that thW arrangement has laid
wide open a gap for extensive thieving—a
thing I know the superintendents did not in
tend. I have but little doubt that ibis an
nouncement is well known even to the nO-
gres ail over the city, as well astheseemploy-
ed about the oars and the depots. I am fur
ther informed that many of the ears are with
out locks, ma&ng it an easy matter for any
one to be opened and goods abstracted there
from. It does seem to be a hard ease for a
poor man to go off on one of our roads and
lay out all the mon^y he can oommand for
bacon or some other article of prime neces
sity, place it in the depot to be brought here
to his family, and there Bign away his right
to redress in ease the same is lost while in
possession of the road. I do not know whe
ther the cars on all the roads are without
looks, but I know that quite a number on the-
State Ro&d are without them. If locks can
be bad, it seems to me they ought to be kept
on the oars, as soms * security is better than
none. 1 know the roads are making enough
money te bny anything wilb that can be bad
for money. Perhaps you will infer that I have
been a loser by 4he late regulation on the
roads. Thig is so—though only to a small
amount—about $30.
Very respectfully,
JOHN FARRAR.
Atlanta, March 16,1863.
P. S.—Permit me to add that some agents
or pretended agents' of the government have
called on the depot agents on tho Stale Road
and ordered them that in case any bacon
should be left with them for shipment to any
point, not to ship a pound of it, but to bold
it for them.. Some of these agents would be
of more benefit to tho country if they^tero
put to ploughing and hoeing, provided they
were industrious enough te make a goo jphand.
One more matter and I am done: lt is
known to many that last summer some of our
merchants who had Liverpool salt to sell,
represented that Virginia salt would not make
good bacon, and that it would require more
of it to save meat well, than Liverpool salt.—
This is a mistake, to my own knowledge. I
us*d only Virginiasalt, and never had better
Dacpn than I sow have. I did not use any
more of it than'I would have used of Liver
pool salt. *•
jgyWe take the follo^Rig items from the
Savannah Republican of the 16th inst:
Picket Boat Miss is 8.—Saturday night
last at 11 o’etook, Francis B. Bejil, qmster’s
mate of the C. S. Navy, proceeded*with a
guard boat and five men down the SswOinah
river to the usual picket station. At 2 o’clock,
or three honrff rater, a second guard.boat
went down to relieve the first, but when it
arrived at the station, nothing could be seen
0 niter's mate, or his crew.
• The boat had disappeared, leaving no evi
dence behind of its fate. It is feared, how
ever, that young Bevil and hiB crew were cap
tured, or that the crew overpowered him and
deserted to the enemy. Bevil was tho adopt
ed sou. of the lamented Bartow, and fought
gallantly at. the first battle of Manassas,
where he was badly wounded.
From the Coast.—Scouting parties return
ed last evening, report that there iB no ene
my on Skidaway, nor any of their vessels in
