PETITIONS.
A petition, signed by a large number of citizens ot
Atlanta, praying a modification ot the existing tax or
dinal)!*, was read. The petitioners were of opinion
tint tho tax on Commission Merchants would raise a
ouflteient fuad to defray the current expenses of the
city, and a reduction of. taxes would relieve people of
a burdsu. and avoid the evil* growing cut ot a icdun
dant treasury.
A petition from L. Schofield was reed. . It called at
tention to the annoyance frequently caused by care
standing oath* crossing over Ufa Ga. K. IL, leading to
Riod*tT'«bsnd to the tact that tho board posted to

SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
ATLANTA. GEORGIA:
SATURDAY EVENiNH, JUNE 13,1663.
A War of Raids,
It i« evident that's war of raids o ill shortly lake the
place of the conflict bv masses and the marshalling
of hosts. It is to be deplored, because it'is bus fb be
attended by a departure from the usages of civilized
warfare. The nin, if pin there be,.bi not chaiycab’e
on the South. .It has been comnenccd with fearful
outrages by our implacable enemy.'- The forbearance
of our Government has reache I "all reasonable limits
The for talionte has been enforced on us by eve:j,prin
ciple ot self-defense and public wrong. B t we W .’old
be pleased to see the suggestion adopted of a conres-'
pendent of ths Richmond Whig: that the Present of
tho Confederacy prepare a manifesto addressed to
the people of all oth r countries, in ]uiti8cSiibn Of
this departure from the practices of civilization, ac
companied by a statement of the more prominent in-
stances of Tanker departure from these practices.
The detail of th* Northern vl ilations of the customary
usages of war reach Europe through the newspapers,
and are, no doubt, classed among sue usual exaggera
tions of exasperated combatan's, but c ming front
the President of the Confederacy, ithe stat'taetits will,
have the authority of an official reerod. They wili er
cite in thy bosoms of all men, who have a spark of
humanity, the utroo.t detestation. The Yankee! do
not seem to regard the opinion of the world.. The
h ie a li m singular'that the Macon Tele,
graph who reached ns last evening contained
an edilorit in which were very nearly the same
views .wit onrs in our las* issue. We copy
the followi :z : portions of Telegraph's editorial,
thattbe re tier*, of the Confedks»cv may see
ihc coinci l fat of thought which laid aabstan-
tisiiy .the -mo views on some points, before
tbs readers «f- the two' journals on the some
day :„
Tho No iern people were' ires—but used
their freed! ,i for licentiousness. The peculiar
condition o lfce country betrayed them step hy
step into a co.litution of the government to the
ends of per Aiary profit—next into schemes ol
all kinds • sectional aggrandizement—and
lastly into >* pander to their own prejudices,
passions, ri fgtmis opinions, follies and fsnaii-
ciems. ,
During ii .cn ruinous perversions of the gov
ernment fro i, its hgilimate functions, nothing
was more it ovitablu than that the North should
exalt a pow j she invoked as the instrument.
In thialofif struggle the North was gaining
daily in vo< n and in Slates. Every year she.
made new p ogress in Federal supremacy, and
every year «e Democracy became more weak
in the faith ol the Fsihcrs. At last «ll defenses
gave way ai t the North sneceeded in electing

Oar Worthy mayor Becoming Useful to
"a A’ Ontstders.
To-day ws lay bofore our readers a letter
addressed to .the “Mayor of the City of At-.
la&ta.Gi," in which tho writer, a lady, en
oloset $30, and asks the Mayor to send her
the value of the money in fine tooth combs.
Thifi lady lives in Arkansas—we- omit the
post office and the name of the writer. In
response to the request, the M vyor prooured
forty-two fine combs, and muled them to her
yesterday. The fair writer oould not have
S3nt her letter to a more clever, accommo
dating or trustworthy gentleman,"hr one who*
more ready or willing to serve a lady or
tho. families of soldier* in any way in hie
power.
If the ladies or families of soldiers, at .a
distance, want to be aeecmmodated in “such
mottrr*,”- their oonfidenoe will not be mis ;
seed—they will sure to be accommodated—
if they call on Mayor Calhonn. He is every
way,*a perfect gentleman, whose band and
heart are always open to serve those needing
assistance.
Charleston and her Defamers.
We perceive that the city of Charleston has been.
place* under ban by certain ed tore of paper • because
it has become the entrepot for foreign good* and the
port of exportation for the staple which ia the commer
cial equivalent for these imports- Maiijr of tbeae stra
ta. •• deserve little regard on account of their indis
criminate and personal character. Allusion! a e rnitde
16 individual* and firms which have made patriotic
sacrifice!-have been the means of farnlahing the g-.v-
eranent with indispensable military supplies. So far
as these strictures are of a general nature—so far as
they imply a charge of the surrender or patriotism to
sell-interest in the people of Charleston, they are no
less nnjost to that city than they manifest an igeorauco
of the principles.!/ trade. -
The Southern States are engaged in a war that com.
pels a resort to indirect modes of trade and traffic. In
the degree Hint commerce takes circa itons channels'
will be the abuses to which it la liable from the ararice
of Individuals. There cofiid be no possible objection
to the exchange of European 1 merchandise-for South
era staples through the blockaded porta. It is a very sim
ple conclusion to sajr that all commerce should b4 pro
hibited, between the Confederate and foreign porta,
from the fact that Yankee goods are brought from Kal
ian into Charleston bearing foreign marks, and that
much poisonous liquor is imported, through the same
channel, that has’a Yankee origin, hut so disguised as
to come in under false designations. There is no one
who would defend the abase of the contraband trailo
under these pactices.
Bat we would ask the question, in what manner
could the government hare been supplied with a van
quantity of war material if the avenues to this'trade
had been closed! How coaid that material have been
paid for unless by tbe export of cotton! Was there
gold enough in the Confederacy to have paid for it t If
has been by the agency, in part, of Charleston mer
chants'that this op<ration has been effected—if the
port of Charleston, from Its favorable maritime situa
tion, has drawn to itself the largest part of this com-,
mores - are the bulk of its citlzsnh to be vituperated—
ii the city itself that wastiie first to dare the vengeance
of the Federal arm?—to bo charged with want of patri
otism, because traders beyord her limits, and some
.others within them, attracted by illicit gains—render
that an abate which is in itself useful and patriotict—
Thie injustice that visits on a city the misconduct of
or her*- beyond Ir-r entroi, treMarttaurtt
and maritime facilities, it is more exposed to corrupt
pratices than others, is not only unjnst in itetlf, hut it
is urged in ignorance of the principles of commercial
intercourse. C.

are lull of the opinion that-the.reformation
can be effected by tho ballot-box; bnl, if so,
they will be the first people on earth who,
having lost their liber.ies, ever restored them
by pi-aeefnl jremedln. It- may be that tbe
lUccessful vildlcatiun of State R’ghts in the

prosecute it; war upon the liberties of the

peaceably dispossess it. But success in this
war upon the South must be the finsl ruin of
Northern liberty, until restored by the last ar

Tbe Confederate Direct Tax,
The Augusta Constitutionalist makes un esti
mate of the probabfe yield of tbe Direct Tax.—
Such sn estimate must be made up of conjec
tural data in a great; degree, but it may be ac
cepted as an approximation. The'State ol
Georgia is assumed as a standard. The eight
per cent tax to be levied on the value of col ton,
tobacco, naval stores, rice and other products of
the.aoil, held on’the 1st ol July, and not neces
sary for family consumption, it is estimated will
yield in Georgia - - - 85,360,000
T-he profits of manufacturers, dealers, specu
lators Ste, for the past year, it is computed will
yield - - - 81,000,000
The estimates from other sources are put down
$1,483,500
Total from all sonrcea except iitbes $7,843,500
Multiplying by leight, ibe number of Stales
occupied by our army, where .alone taxes can be
coUecied, the result less than sixty-fire million*
for the whole Confederacy.

We have before us a copy of the New Or
leans Era, of the 4ih inst. The “Unionists”
in New Orltans are discussing the question ot
a new State Constitution for Louisiana. It
will be a be autiful piece of work from such
bauds when it is done. The Era announces a
series of papers from “able writers” on tfce
subject. For itself, it chooses to take no part
in the diecurelon. It prefers to wait and look
on. It thinks there are many knoity difficul
ties to bs solved before the way will be clear
for a Constitution We should thiak so; be
sides, what do the Yankees know about Const!
tulions and what do they want with Constilu
lions, if they had them ! The only talent they
have shown isin overturniag free constitutions.
They have dtslroyed that of tho old United
Slates, and they have allowed Linco’n to tram
ple upon the Constitutions of all the Northern
States. We think the Yankees are living under
the state of things governmental that, best
sails them. They have a master at "Washing
ton, and they are the masters ixt Louisiana.—
They can imprison, tang, banish, confisc -
plunder and eteal to their hearts’ content,
not this a Yankee Paradise of Constitution,
law and order!
We are struck with the following naire state
ment of the Era: “Th* South baa too long
been deprived of tUe cxprtttion of opinion and
it i3 our conviction that had she lem blessed
tcith free speech and freedom of the Press, thi
infernal rebellion never would have occurred.
We hope, therefore, that a c;w era has dawn-
el upon our history, and that henceforth a
Iree expression of opinion cn any public issue
will be tolerated and respected.”
If that isn’t ths Devil quoting Scripture, we
I are at a loss for an illustration. These men
| have just exiled ten thousand citizens of New
Orleans, men, women und children, from their
j homes, and ttolan the property they left be-
! hind. And for what crime '. Was it for “free

Government to do that wLioh it belong! to the
cruisers anil tbe Courts of ihe United States to
do for..themselves.
There can be only one plea for asking Great
Britain thus to interpose. That plea ii, that
the blookade is, in reality, incffoctive, and
that merchant ships oan t nter With impunity
tho blockaded ports. But this is a plea which
1 presume you will not urge. Her M*jesty’e
Government have considered the blockade or
an effective blookade, and have submitted to
all its inconveniences as each. They cun on
ly hope that if resistance should prove to be
hopeless; the Confederate States will not oon-
tinne the struggle; and then, if, en Ihe other
hand, the restoration of the Union should ap

now going on may cease.

I pray your Lordship’s pardon if I submit
that ynu appear to have entirely overlooked a
plea which I am confident enough to imagine oi
no inconsiderable weight. The plea iq that the
kingdom of Great Britain endeavor, in spirit, as
well aa in the letler, to preserve the principles
of neutrality, if not of friendship, toward a lor*
eign nation in amity with it, to which it has
pledged itself. The precise mode in which that,
shall be done it does not presume to prescribe.
That the toleration of such condnct in subjects
ot Great Britain as I have'had the pain hereto
fore to expose is eutely a violation of that neu
trality, ia justly :o be inferred from tbe very lan
guage of her Majesty’s proclamation. For it is
therein declared that precisely such acta of
theirs as I have bren compelled here to complain
ol are done “in derogation ot their duty to her
aneutral’sovereign, and incur her high dia-
pUasure.” It such, then, be the true character
of the proceedings to which I have hitherto
called your Lordehip’s attention, they sorely
merit something more of notice from her Majes

be differed to pass unremoved, unless the pun
ishment Blioll be inflicted by the nation whom
they arc designed to injure.

to ignore there rights, and to commit upon pri

-•Now, under these oireumslanots, what
oaurse is left? VPhat is the duly of bur Gov
ernii ent T. I answer, as the best result of mv
rtfiec ions, first, that the President should
without delay prepare and publish a manifesto
to the whole world, setting forth these eborm-
ous violations df the laws of nations, of Chris
tian civilization, of - the ordinary principles of
humanity, and of oar most sacred belligerent
rights, by this ruthless and savage enemy.—
Let him in that manifesto enumerate as parties
larly and specifically as may be conaisient
with becoming ‘dignity and brevity tbe in
stances anil eases that have occurred, and sub
mit i hem to the judgement of mankind. I am
jnvinosd that lire whole truth is hot known
in Europe, and is partially withheld from the
Yankee nation. I sm clear that when the
facts sre known in Eqrope, it will produce a
sensation that has never yet been roused. It
will, it must, exoite an indignation against our
enemy that has never been fell before. A
narration of these repeated and savage out
rages t.pon our innocent oltizeos cannot fail to
touch a chord Of sympathy in every human
heart in foreign lands, that will result in good
to us in a moral, if not in a practical uni ma
terial form. It ia impostible that the enlight
ened statesmen of England and France—even
Earl Russell himself—ehould longer refrain
from expreesions of reprobation, if not impell
ed to interposo their good offices “in the in
terest of humanity” to arrest tho infamous
bnrbaiiii. a of these Yankee hell-hounds. -Be
this as it may, it is due to ourselvss that these
things should be known—should he published
and prcelaimed to the civilized world and be
set down and recorded in an authentic form,
to be read and remembered in future ages to
the disgrace and dishonor of the Yankee peo
pie. Besides, it will be ear justification in
another coarse 1 am about to recommend—a
coarse forced upon u§ by necessity, and by. the
imperative law of sslf-detenes. This brings
me to the second plan.* •
“Let ths eitisons everywhere urtn them

guns. and organize themselves into companies,

them report thnmselves to the President, -who

starve the people into submission. W e sups

Foreign Otfice, May 17, 1663:
Sir—I do not wish to prolong this correspon
donee, and shall only make one remark, in an
swer to your its! letter. If the British Govern
ment, by virtue of the prerogative of the crown,
or hy authority- of Parliament, had prohibited
and could ha*e prevented the conveyance in
British merchant ships, of arms and ammnnis
lion to the Confederate Stales, and have allowed
the transport of such contraband of war to New
York and toother Federal ports, her Majesty's
Government would have departed from the neu
tral position they had assumed and maintained.
If on the other hand, her Majesty’s Govern
ment had prohibited and could havo prevented,
the transport of arms and ammunition to both
the contending parties, they would have depriv
ed the United States of a great part of the means
by which they have ctrriid on. tbo war. The
arms and ammunition received Torn Great Brit
ain, as well as from other neutral countries,have
enabled tbe United Stales to fi' out tbe formid
able armies now engaged in carrying ou the war
against tbe Southern States, whl'a hy means of
the blockade established by tbe Federal Govern
ment the Southern Stales have been deprived of
similar advantages. The impartial observance
of neutral obligations by her Majesty’s Govern
ment has thus been exceedingly advantageous
to the cause ol the more powerful of ti e two

-fis said that Gen. Lee is more than usually
reserved in regard to hit future plant and opera
tions. He has been constrained to adopt ibis
course in consequence oi certain disclosures re

plan of his advance aero's the Potomac, and
that this paper w as found and carried to McCleh
lac.
In this way, it is alleged, the Federal com
mander was informed ot the strength and dirptfo
sition of our forces, and knew that Gen. D. IL
Hill, with his single division, was left to hold
tbe gap at Boonsboro, whilst Jackson bad turned
off at Harper’s Ferry, and foongstreet had

Hagers'own. This disclosure explain, the rsp.
id movements of McClellan, and the confident
manner in which he foi'owed up and delivered
the battle at Sharpsbttrg. Without this knowl
edge it is not probable ne would have aought
Lee so soon and so esgtrly; and thus the latter
would have had more time to concemraie his

‘ Qslv Me ”—A lady had two children—
both gir’a. The elder one a fair child; the
younger a beauty, and the mother’s pet.—
Her whole love oentred iu it. The elder was
neglected, while “Sv.cet,” (the’pet name of
the younger) received every attention that
love could bestow. - Oue day, after a severe
illness, the mother was sitting in the parlor,
when ahe heard a ehiidieh rt.-p up an ihe stairs,
and her thoughts were instantly with her favor
ite. •
“Is that you, Swee* V’ she inquired.
“No, nuiuu a,” was the sai aud tcuching
reply, “it isn’t Sweet; it’s only me.”
The m. ilier’a heart smutc her, and from that
hour “only me” was restored to aa tqual plase
in her affections.
