General Orders, No. 45
The Commanding General, having been
prevented by various circumstances from ac
knowledging the services of the brave Major
Watkins, and the gallant officers and men un*
d his c jmmand, in the recent victory at Sa
bine Pass, takes this occasion to return them
bis official'thanks for the accomplishment of
a purpose of great importance to us, and their
participation in an exploit almost unparallel
ed in tho annals of warfaro. After driving
the enemy’s- blockading squadron from our
immediate waters, these devoted and beroio
men, in their frail boats, pursued him some
thirty miles to sea, and after a fight of nearly
tW9 hours, on an element on which he cojmfd-
ered himself invincible, captured a ship of
war of nine guns and an armed schooner of
two gnus, of the U. S. Navy, forcing their
commanding offioers to surrender at discre
tion. The perseverance, Industry and firm
ness of tho commanding offioer, Major Oscar
M. Watkins, of tho Provisional Army, were
only equalled by his intrepidity, admirable
coolness, and skill in battle. Entirely unac
customed to the sea,- bis devotion overcame
all obstacles. He was ably and heroically
seconded by Capts- Fowler ond Johnson, re
spective commanders of the steamers “Boll”
and “Uncle Ben,” by Capts. Odium, O’Brien,.
Nolan and Aycock, and Lients. Dowling and
Aiken, of tho land forces, and by the Eng*
gincers, Pilots, Troops and Crews of tho ex
pedition.
The Commanding Goneral takes pleasure in
announcing to the officers and men of Texas,
land and naval, that their heroio example has
been followed successfully throughout the
Confederacy. The echo of their cannon aV
Galveston and Sabino had not died away ere
they were taken up. at Charleston, and rever
berated in glory along tne Mississippi.
His Excellency, the President, has address
ed a letter' of congratulation and thanks to
the Commanding General and gallant men of
Texas, engaged in these noble enterprises.—
Congress has unanimously passed a voto of
thanks, in aoknowledmcnt of their services.—
The whole country has been electrified by the
daring and skill of Texans, while the hearts
of their comrades, battling in the North for
their homes and alters, have been made to
beat with pride and joy, by the news of bat
tles fought and victories won on tho beloved
soil of their glorious Stale. To the true sol
dier there.can be no greater reward.
Much has been done; but much remains to
be done. Our mortal foe is again gathering
his strength for another and still another
blow ; bnt tho Commanding General of the
Army of Texas is confident that his troops
will return these blows, and will astonish
still more their enemies and the world, by
such evidences of skill and audacity, as shall
make Texan a better word than Spartan.
With this assurance, to leaves for a short
time this immediate scene of Jtis labors, to se
cure other points and prepare other fields of
glory, confident that the officers and men of
his command will use all the means in their
power to perfect themselves in such a know
ledge and practice of their profession as will
ensure the fulfillment of the highest*expecta
tions of their friends and country.

Correspondence of tha Richmond Sentinel.
A Few Days In Georgia—Spent In Atlan-
Itrata and Colnmlina.
Columbus, Ga., March 21.
Meurt. Editors :
Atlanta is one of the moBt thriving and en
terprising cities in the Confederacy, and its
eligible situation promises to make it one of
our most important. It is the “entreporl”
for the exchango of the products belweed the
border slave States and the Galf States. It
is just on the line between the grain growing
and ootton-producing portions of the Confed
eracy. It ia mid-way between the waters of
the Atlantic and tho Mississippi, between the
waters of the Ohio and the Gulf of Mexico,
and its position is, therefore, decidedly cen
tral to the trade and travel of the South.—
From it, railroads lead into South Carolina
and Alabamo, into Southern Georgia and
Tennetsce. It is well called the “Gate City,”
as from ityo:’ have a direct route, by rail
way, to the chief cities of the Confederacy.
Ten years ago it was but a village. It now
numbers 18,000 inhabiiauts, and everything
about it indicates prosperity. The war even
has not stopped its growth. New houses are
being erected, and there-is an activity rarely Itheir
seen elsewhere at present. Its public build
ings aro large and substantial. The streets
wide and spacious.
The war has not changed the habits of
these people much. In faot, Georgia has
suffered less from the war than any State in
the Confederacy. The contrast between this
and Virginia is wonderful. In Atlanta and
Macon the ladies dress as in times of peace,
have an abundance of fine clothes, and ride
in fine carriages, drawn by fat, sleek horses.
Fine bonnets and silk dresses are as thick as
blackborries. Homospun by the city ladies
is not much worn. It is not becoming, they
say, and gives them rather a plebian appear
ance. Their examplo, “ were they to
dress in homespun, would certainly have a
very salutary, effect. It would beget habits
of economy in all classes, and make people
more self-reliant, contented and happy.
From Atlanta to Macon, over one hundred
miles, peach orehards everywhere are to be
found. The trees are email, bui the bloom
very abundant. - . ■
The country also from Maoon to Columbus,
about one hundred miles, presented the same
appearance. Flowers blooming, peaoh’ trees
in full blossom, (22d March,) fields green
with wheat and grass, all vegetation bursting
forth—presenting. a striking contrast with
the country we had just passed through a
few days before-in Virginia.
With the city of Maoon we 'were much
pleased. It ontains some ten thousand in
habitants, and many delightful private rcsi
donees. Altogether, it has the appearance of
a finished town. Near it are prominent hilU
overlooking Iho oity. Upon these hills are
some very stately dwellings, whose inmates
look as if they were a highly sociable and re
fined people, who loved to enjoy life and not
to make money.
Columbus is considered the Lowoll of the
South. It contains 8,000 inhabitants, and it
is situated on the banks of the Chaltahoooheo,
at the head of navigation. It has several
large factories, and-itB people buBily engaged
in trade and manufacturing. Many women
find employment in this oity in sowing for the
Government. Its populotion, generally, has
the appearance of a laboring people—those of
Atlanta, a trading people—and those of Ms-
eon, a refined, sooial people, who CDjoy “ oiium
cum dignitatc.” A stranger is struck with the
great width of tho streets in these several cit
ies. In Macon and Columbus the streets are
about 200 feet wide, with a row of shade
trees in the centre—thus in reality making a
doable street, which adds greatly to the health
and comfort of the cities.
Both Macon and Columbus are famous for
the many beauiitul flower yaida and gardens
that surround the private residences. Even
now, in the. latter, part ol March, the yellow
jessamine, lilacs, liilieB, r-.ars, &c , &c , are in
lull bloom, and fill the ait with the rawi deli--
cious fragrance. Muet m leunii.iirts arc
framed houses, and many »- •:..&!> uiT- *>ury
high, are literally hid bin... irom , ,i, c
gaze by evergreens, am- ..i.<i ,. r.iuutry,
roses and jessamine thin n.. .... \u.ds On
yesterday we took a atri.li ... .euictery of
this city (Columbus) and there louud the enclo
sures tilled with moat .fragrant ami teatuiful
flowers. Many graves were hanBomeiy deco
rated with flowers, with seasshells or pure white
pebbles placed in the form of a cross; over others
were wire baskets hanging, filled with freshly
gathered flowers. On white marble monuments
were tastily entwined beautiful running roses,
jessamine und Ivy. How well calculated is such
scenery in so sacred place to develop "The True,
The Beautiful and the Good" of our nature,and
how indicative of a cultivated Christianity!
In pursuance of the President’s proclamation
this day has been religiously observed by the
inhabitants of the city. Stores and business
places wero closed, and churches opened. Ser
vants dressed up in thoir best, and as happy and
contented as they could be. It is pleasant to
observe the peculiarities of each section. Here
chickory is used as a substitute for coffee. Rice
is mixed up with flour and corn meal. It is put
into biscuits, batter cakes, hominy, &c. Sweef
potatoes are in great abundance, ^therefore they
are eaten at all meals. What in Virginia are
known as Branch Banks, are here designated
••Agencies. And the signs over the grog-shops
ol this city are in good taste, viz : The Smile,
The Pleasant House, &c
Instead of meeting on the cars and at hotels
with sick, wounded and furloughed soldiers, as
in Virginia, and hearing of army nows, here in
Georgia one finds Jews and other speculators
constituting the traveling public, all eagerly
bent on gain, and inquiring tKe price of cotton,
tabacco, negroes, sugar, &c. Thus the world
goes! !!
This State has proven itself to be the Egypt
of the Confederacy. , It produced last year mil*
lions of bushels of' corn, an abundance both for
the army and for the people. In the northern
portion of tho State the crop'was a failure, and
corn is very -scarce there. That section is, hows
ever, being supplied from Central Georgia.
Georgians, generally, are an industrious,
working people. The poorer classes are more
provident and energetic than the poor people of
any other Southern State. Hence they do not
remain poor long. Indeed, this State has all
the elements of greatness within itself—a de->
lighliul climate, a productive roil, numerous
factories, an active, energetic and thriving popu
lation, and a network ol railways connecting its
chief cities. Its destiny, therefore, is to be, in
maDy respects, the empire State of the Confeds
eracy. VIATOR.
Official Puppyism.—The following from
the Texas Telegraph applies as well in this
latitude as auy other:
“We occasionally hear of superciliousness
and overbearing treatment of soldiers by offi
cers who imagine the gold laoe oa their coats
entitles them to reverence by their inferiors
in military rank. This sort of thing is a
mark of vulgar mind, and does not form any
part of gentlemanly deportment. Such men
should bear in mind that office does-not make
the man ; and he whose only claim to respect
oooBists in hia commission, has-still no real
claim to be respected. It should moreover
be remembered that oftentimes it is not the
man of best social consideration who bolds
office, hut there are men in the ranks of the
Confederate army, men who, as citizens, are
the peers of any of our generals. When
half dadged official sprouts attempt to snub
men, the airs they put on degrade and dis
grace themselves only. A little considera
tion will save them the contempt, at least, of
betters. - ~
