SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
ATLANTA. GEORGIA:
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 3.1S63.
COSPKDKttACIKS.
Those Northern politicians, who looked some lime
since bo sangainlj to reconstruction, hat who hare not
examined the question in it* historical aspects, or the
I me cawses of the permanent uuim of States in a Con
fe.-feracj, will be ready to admit, after such examhka-
nation: 1, tfcst it was not in the nature of thing* that
the American Uuion coul I luxe had a longer life.
2y that it «tm a poetical mistake ta hare 'nnited
State.* with so great & dieiimilaritj of interests,
races and m inner* a* characterize the North and South,
respectively. Having some leisure we hare thrown to
gether a fe-v historica! memoranda, a3 regards modern
CoafedermCieN, that tnay possibly prove instructive.
But for the peace of Westphalia, 1643, there would
have been no teiigiout liberty in Europe, and no cessa
tion ot religions war?. The horrors of the thirty year*
war would have been Indefinitely prolonged if other ob
jects of human ainbiti »n am! strife had n)t been present
ed to the m-n who acic ready 10 sicridce wneb other
for articles of feith. The consequence was the divi**-
ion* became political instead of riligiour, and the inter
ests of her Acrerul State** an I rulers aa umod irrecon
cilable diversity. lier.mny demands confederations
suitable to ihia diversity, and not a tingle confederation
in which the attempt ra.y bu made to reconcil • them.
After almost numberless league.", which Were b.vlcii by
external pressure or di*salved from iaher%i*t defects,
her two most celebrated political ft-poci.itions were the
confederation of the K'.iuc in 13:6, imposed by the
military dictation of the elder Napoleon, and the con
federation of ISIS,which still continues. That it is de
fective iu proof of it i want of amendment, but famish'
es no evidence that a th rough Unification couid be
established. That Gennady, a* well as ItUy, reqiires
a more p*wfc:l onion, which will secure I hem indepen
dence, Will be denied by no one, hot th s is to ho attain
ed no* by an .lr.’ifiohl aud forced nutty—by bringing
into political association, under a common government,
statics having contrarient interests and social diversi
ties -but by combining eiuh of them at are homogene
ous In minner* and opinion*, a - d are not dissimilar in
interests. Two or three confederacies, kindred in
lho<e tilings that promise‘durable nn'on aru better
than • lar»e single confederacy of discordant elements.
ButhGcnnany and Italy would then present k na field fur
•ho -ft intrigues rod c irrupt practices of foreign powers
that formerly afflicted those countries. That Au-.tria
itnd Pfui;ia, under any arra-tgement of this kind that
an be made, wi'I be ihe rrapeo'ive heads of tw.> or
more confederacies in Germany «e*m> inevl able.
If wc look to Italy her history exhibits tho same lns-
pcdimentM to the formitionof ft single durable canfed-
racy. Fro-n the pci Jod that the btbnce of power be-
jmc a part of the general system of Europe, in the
• w-ginningof the 16th century, it would be natural to
conclude that the Sflatea of Italy would f rm a confel-
erscy for mutual defence, and, although they j*uff*rel ,
the distractions consequent oa the invasion of f 'h irlcs
VIII, of France, which led to the loagu* of the Ital
ian cities, by which they were rid of the iovnder, it
was the result of external pressure, and they soon, re
lapsed into th it in*litTereace to their own security ai
to provoke the invasion of Louis the XII, anti Mill
without the m^ans of vcsie’ance by adequate combina
tion. The league ct Cambray wai not a- e mfcderacy
for defence aud independence, hut for a-gre^-ion,
and was dissolved as saon iu its objects werj accom
pi i shed.
Tltc present aftr-mpt to unite them promises* noth
ing but failure. This i* pa’eut to ordinary <?b*cr-
v.ntl n. By whftt process of unification Neapoli-
tons ft-.d Sardinians, Central and Upper Italy—the
Stale.* of the Church .and tho:e that have shown a pro-
d»li» tion for religious reform and repr*'scufative in«*.i-
lutiouAcanbe 1» ou^ht so lo harmonise a** to form a con
federacy, it Is difficult to conceive. There arc not only
religious but political diversities, t*» say nothing of the
dissimilarity of interests, manners and opinion*.
now direct our atteation to Ihe Netherlands wo
nee that the very fint attempt of the pcop’e of that
country to form a union, when its necessity was para
mount, between the provinces of Ihe North and South
ended in disappointment and failure. What is ca’led
in history the Pacification of Ghent in 1576, presented
a #ti iking illustration of the unstable eharaeter of such
unions do not reposp on tho banis of Dipml.trity of
manners, modes of thought and Indentity of interests.
The Northern provinces, seven in number, wefre so
contrasted in these respects from the Southern that the
Prince of Orange sought their separation. After the
renewal of Internal conflicts originating in religions
fends, the Council of Dort in 16 3gave apparent peace
to the Netherlands, bat this arrangement did not com
pose her troubles, and not nntil the peace of Kimncgen
1678, wa* a government established that promised sta
bility. Notwithstanding the necessity of union the
Netherlands were distracted by religious and political
animosities down to as late a period a9 1829, when the
legislative and administrative separation of Belgium
and Holland was resolved on and the Goal separation
took place in 1882.
Bat it may be said that Switzerland presents an ex
ample of a political union despite the dis-imilarity,
both political and rtligiuus, between the Cantons. The
first Swlas confederacy was recognized in 1450. Reli
gions fends bad separated the Catholic from the Protest
ant Cantons un il a religious peace was concluded in
15.9. It lasted for only a short period, and after va
rious conflicts between themselves and the neighborir.g
powers the treaty of Westphalia, 164S, it was supposed,
acknowledging the independence of Switzerland, would
have terminated their internal tumults. Although
Switzerland maintained a prudent neutrality during
the thirty years war and tlio^e that grew ent of the
contest for the Spanish Succession, the st nggles be
tween the Cantons were resumed, and a new element of
discord appeared, in the conflict between democratic
and aristocratic principles, which distracted the land,
until 1881, when she assumed that Attitude of internal
peace which has continued to the present time. It was
only, therefore, after ocean* of blood had been shed-
after centuriee of strife ;and struggle between religious
and political partiej that the inbe ent causes of dis
cord became quieted. 1, From the general ces
sation of religions passions. 2, From the near neigh
borhood of two powerful military monarchies, which
will be ready to repress, by force of arms, political dts-
erders, and not from the natural strength of the Swiss
Confederacy. The b nd of ua*on here is from externa)
pressure. If this ceased to operate, the diversity of in
terest s and opinions that has for centuries detracted
Swi'zerlADd would re appear
Now making an application of these examples to this
side of the Atlantic, on what apparently firmer founda
tions cculd a confederacy repose, embracing States that
are conterminous, having the same traditions, consti
tuted of the snra' races, impelled to confederate by
common dangers as those which have been tried in
KoTopc? What is there of closer social affinity and
vnor*' intimate material interests in such a political
union than produced temporary alliances between the
Slate* of Italy, those of Germany, and the Netherlands?
The Cantons of Switzerland form the only exception,
hut that exception is more apparent than real. A long
series of feuds and distractions, religious an 1 political,
have overcome the tendency ti disintegration, combined
with the sente of common dnnge/, in the constant
prince and near neighborhood of t-io rowerfol man
archies. If thc*» inferencis are correct, the Ame loan
Union ought never to have been formal. As historlca 1
examples adduced j-how that where single con fed* ra*
cy had been created, two or three that promised dura
biUy eouVl aad-sh»%uld have been constituted, having
similarity of race, religiou and manner.*.

At the battle of Brandy Station, when the
enemy’s cavalry came upon Stuart’s Ilorse
Artillery, which were unsupported, Edwin
Sally, son of Sully, the celebrated painter,
who once lived in this city, sprang to hispieoa
and tended and flred it three limes, alone and
unaided. One horseman rode up to young
Sally and orderol him to satrccdor. Sully
refused and entered the Yankee to surrender
to him. The dragoon’s pistol, which was lev
elled st tho time, snapped, when he drew his
sword and tried to cut Sally down,- bat our
hero wes ready for him, and as the fellow
made the,blow, he avoided it/and as the horse
dashed past, seizing his rammer with both
hands, aud swinging it around his head, he
brought it d -wn with all his force upsn tho
back of the Yankee’s held, .killing Pirn in
stantly, and tumbling him headlong from his
bone, of which, with the ocenuircmeots, be
to k immediate possession.

ment saw that she had glanced at my one arm
and my bo!.tier’s dress. Her features at once
relaxed and she raid eha would speak to bar
mother. She soon relumed with a timid but
cordial assent
I found her a lady of education, modesty and
refinement and her mother an affectionate and
well brought up matrou cf the olden time,
maintaining in poverty that dignity of charac
ter and manners which accompanies pnro hearts
and cultivated minds everywhere. I made no
inquiries of them of a personal nature ; neith
er did they seem inquisitive concerning me.—
I was treated kindly, bat with reserve. I re
tired to rest very early, and left them early
next morning ; font some how or other I could
not carry my thoughts away with me. At the
next house I stopped, and under a pretense of
inquiring about the roads, I casually iearnod
enough about my friends at the cottage to
very much incroaso my interest in the yonng
lady. • Arriving at the city of T , I found
my old friend Judge H—, and in the course
of our conversation I asked if ho knew the
resi lent* of the cottage, and was informed
that he did ; and he only, wished they lived
near him for the sake of his family and as an
example to his daughters. His language Of
praise was so lavish and ao earnest, that I told
him how I had been surprised with their man
ner of life,.and their most excellent and pol
ished deportment.
‘"Well, I came on here to my post. Soon I
found myself flattering like a moth around the
gay and wealthy girls of this vicinity. Many of
them aro very excellent and lovely ladies ; but
some how I hod long left that it would be a
most delicious thing to marry some poor girl ol
worth and refinement, of good character and
family, jnst to enjoy the plcacuro of lifting her
np to independence and luxary. I thought that
such a. wile would love me better, ana that I
wonld lake so much satisfaction in making her
my pet lamb, and being to her both a husband
and a lather.
"Wc!!, Mort, 1 thought over it so much that
the memory of the girl at the cottage actually
haunted me; eo one day I set down and wrote
to Judge H for a letter of credentials to her.
lie sent me a very flattering testimonial, saying
at the same that the lady was wholly unaware
tha' he foil any peculiar interest in her welfare.
He suggested that I should write her and cand
idly state my object ana intentions, nnd she
won d. he believed, us candidly reply, and with
out affectation or reserve. I wrote her a long
letter, taking a gr.at deal of pains to make so
many delicate inquiries, end ark so many mod
est questions as.to draw ont her whole sonl if
she were dtrporcd to think me acting in good
faith. I did not disclose that I had ever seen
her, and ashed to send me her likeness if she
viewed my preposition with favor. Inclosing
with tny letter that of Judge fl , I uneasily
awaited her reply. In dike limo il came. I
have it now: I shall kc.-p it in my safe to leave
behind me as a legacy.. Let me get it and read
it to you, or let von ;c.\d ii yot rjef, fur I imag

Neither poetry nor romance form any part ol

love, and pis? away, without bring known or
heard of beyond the narrow limits of their bum-

Errand father was wealthy anil extravagant.—
From many incidents and accidents 'which make
up life, his wealth t.rok wings anj flow away,
hut not until I had acquired a fair attd liberil
education. Since tin- decay of his- nrospcrtfy
our misfortune* have come thick and fast. 1’as-.
sing yean have worked many changes of con
ilition. and even the overseer of of my grand
father’s slaves has so greatly prospered as now
to boast of his own servants and idamaiioits,
and his pretty daughters with whom I gaily
frolicked in the shady grove, now honor me with
a distant bow. Not for envy do I aioittion such
things as these, for they arc not heartless girls,
and would freely help me. were i iaactual want.
They only leel the distance that wealth pome-
limes creates. They move in a dillerent pVhcre,
and have many, many things, and fashionable
cares to absorb their ait.mtion and forget an in-
ditforence. to poverty.
Such changes, I have often tlnught, a;o tLo
parents of philosophy tui ! reflection, and
therefore .prove eminently useful to society
and virtue. If we look at life l>y generations,
it is hut tho ncc-saw that children play, and
there ia-seared/ a family in our land who
cinnot illustrate, ia cither ii J ancestry or
itself, the uph and dosrp, tlic grandeur and
humility, the wealth a ;d poverty, that tflne
is ever alternating. Therefore, I am neither
covetous nor touched with envy, though very
humble is my lot; for it may change before I
die. Indeed I know it will, if this our cor
respondence should ever make m'o the wife oi
some manly youth who would take me as hie
Genevieve, his bright nmTfrasting bride. No
lay of Eastern miustrolo, no tender song of
gontlo sorrow will ho have lo sing to win me,
for my own pad song is sad enough ta more
mo lo the shelter of his manly bo3om..
Before this unhappy war, I had a brother
so dear and kind, that had he lived, would
have told me how I should write, aud what I
should ray, in this unmaidenly letter, for he
would have loved and protected me all through
the bright end tho weary days of my life.
His manly form has been fi r many months
mouldering in a soldier’s shallow gravo, and
tlie same brnvc troops fought over him at the
second battle of Manassas, that fought over
him at the fit st. Oh, how we loved him, and
how we leva him yet. The night after lie foil,
I dreamed I heard him call, and saw him
beckon to me from out the spirit-lard. My
dream was like a prophet’s vision, and the sad
news, when it came, only confirmed my trem
bling fears. Since that dark hour, I have
loved'to sing:

tiny play house”, find decked them with the
broken ohina, climbed the low wood shed,
swung from the drooping branches *of the
trees, made pyramids ia the sand and picked
berries on the road to school. Evenly and
quietly I moved .along in my studies, and
thanks to a faithful teacher and a mother ever
watchful, I acquired a love of study and a
taste for reading the choice library which wes
retained from the wreck of my father’s for

do not have to study long the lights and

of Catoosa, AValkcr and Bade, and notwith

disinclination to oontinno longer to s?rve in

consent that your naihe be used aa a candidate
in this district at the next senatorial election
for Senator. We foel that it is tae duty of
every citizen in times like these to rendor
every service in his power to promote the beat
interest of his country. You have just closed
the dutios of four year's service in the Repre
sentative branch of the Legislature. The
general satisfaction you have given, and con
vinced as we are that experience is necessary
to tflicicnt legislation, and that for the first
term anew member will soared/ learn the ro-
tine of business until the time for introducing
business willhayebten passod. lVearograti-
fied to have arrived at a time when, parties
and party strife have no existence in Georgia,
and-tho public interest is now .too governing
influence with all true and patriotic citizens.
At the last-election Dade presented no candi
date, nor would we now desire she should, but
we feol that in presenting your name whilst
wc entertain a high respect for the Cbaraoler

Gentlemen : Yours of Ihe 16th instant is

the approbation of my fellaw-citizons as to the
manner in which Th-t-o discharged my publie
duties. At the close of tbo last session of the
Legislature (he state of tho health of my fami
ly and the absence of my sons in the army,
who have also been in bad health, determined
me to retire from publio life and give my en
tire attention to my family nnd my private af
fairs. . I agree with yon that it is the duly of
• ; ery man now to put forth his whole energy
Tor the promotion of the best interest of the
country It is a source of gratification that

unite 09 ono people and pat forth our concen
trated energies lo sustain oar cause in this

msn. , •
I have had repeated solicitations from my
friends in other portions of the district re
questing me to allow my namo to go bofore the
people of this district at tho next senatorial
election. Under all lira circumstances, if my
friends desire to present my name to the dis
trict as a candidate fo/ Senator, they arc at
liberty to do so. For tho klod m nntr in
which yon have been pleased lo refer to my
humble .services you will please accept my
grateful acknowledgements.
I am your ob’t serv’t,
ROBERT H. TATUM.
Thus much have I written as the outlino ol
my life. My aspiration* have been few, bn: my
hopes are strong and earnest. An ever welcome
friend has proposed to sccnre me a situation as a
teacher iff a ne.igborimng village, but it is too
far for a daily walk, and I cannot bear 10 te
separated from my homo and mother ami my
father’s much loved grave; and no .. as I write
yon. and try to feel altogether unscllUh, ar.d
totally tlteam of happiness to come, and ever-
living faith in him to whom I wonld trust ntv
honor and my life, I am compelled to say that he
who choosen me muGt choose my dear iond
mother 'with me during her pilgrimage upon
earth. No other condition do I impose, no oth
er been shall 1 presntre to ask.
The spirit and the lettet of yoar many question?
require that I should now say something of my
nnworly self— my pereoasl attraction?. Excuse
me then lor saying that my mother thinks me
fair, and my fund l.ro’her often called me good
and pretty. I am not an angel nor a peri of a
poetV piradisc; but who does not wish to he
beniful and be thought so by the woild. and ia
it wrong to feel such innocent ambition f The
mirror that flatters onr featf rea is ever the must
highly priz d, and it is a universal p’easurc to
recieve the delicate flattery of our friends. How
well do I remember with what trembling inqui
ry I once asked my ever candid mother if I was
really beautiful, as my fond brother said, when
he would stroke my hair and nteS3 ray cheek to
his7 How surprised she seemed, and riariled,
for fear I waa nursing vanity, aiid how tenderly
reproachful was her voice when she replied,
“Fanny, yon look well enough, but you arc not
beautiful. Yon are not grown, nor your form
and feature* ran ml .-<1 as they will be, but you
will be beautiful il you are good.”
Now I am grown and in the bloom of perfect
health; still lean pas* along and dazzle no one,
nor rob one soul ot rctr, not scarce attrat t a
moment’* gaze ot those I meet. With bumble
and unattractive dress I cheerfully perform my
duties, and no ‘valencienne.?,’ nor ‘point,’ nor
‘honiton,’ nor flounce, nor fril 1 . nor sweeping
trail, nor glittering jewel* araiat the eye to see
the charms, if any, tkat I have. Sometimes I
am v*in enough to think that shonld the litr es*
ing of wealth be added to my lot, some of tho:e
who know me now, might wonder that the flow
er oi the forest could bloom so fair for being
transplanted to a richer soil.
Too ask ma if I will venture to enclose yen my phb
tojriqth, should I lake a favorable view or your com
mu.ucation. My judgment lays I cannot; for though

Wheat Chop.—Wo hear of stn.-iil tran-ao-
tions in Wheat, in Houston, nt throe dollars a
bushel; in Telfair at two and a half; iu Lau
rens at three dollars; in jonos at threo dol
lars ; in Bibb at five dollars: but there have
been no sales made sufficient ta cslahlis.i
prices.
Ail accounts say the wheal, crop of Georgia
is unprecedented. Wo have heard it asserted
that ntoro wheat has been made nnd saved in
Georgia this year, than in tbo jive preceding
years. One of our friends says ha raised
oighty bushels from two of seoJ. An,>titer, out
of a field of twenty to twerily-flvo acres, gath
ered and measured 427 bushel*.—Mamn Tele
graph, July 1.
Chinese Sugar Cane —We are informed by t
gentleman of this county, that a fetv days sine.’
several cows broke into the Chinese Cattc patch
of one of itis neighbors and in a ebon time otic
ot the cOwa dropped’ dead in the field, and two
others died alter being driven-outside the Icaco.
A similar case occurred a few year:, since on llu<
plantation of Col. Wm. McKinly, or Baldwin
county, by which he lost seven 1 of Itia best
milch cotvs. Farmers Would do well to be on
their guard agains: their cattle getting to this
cane while growing.—Sondersiillc Georgian, 1
