the city. VV itii the discussion of these rumors

j were but partially armed, but* ill supplied with

tion, aud perhaps more willing, to retreat than to

; Harrisburg, calmed the excitement. The military
i were dismissed with the exception of the guard

j urged the necessity ot immediately having troops
j for the defence of the Capital. The interview
j finally terminated with the distinct assurance, on
the part of the President, that no more troops
would be sent through Baltimore unless obstruc
ted in their transit in other directions, and with
tiic understanding that our city authorities should
do their best to restrain their own people. After
this understanding, when about to leave Wash
ington, the Mayo a despatch announcing ;
the approach of troops toward the city, and the
excitement consequent therton. Mr. Brown and
his companions immediately teturned to the Pre
sident and informed him of these facts. The j
President at once decided that these troops should
j be seut back to Harrisburg, and an order to that.
! effect was immediately prepared and forwarded
I by Major Belger, of the United States Army, who
! accompanied the Mayor to this city. This is the
j position in which matters stand now.
A portion of the troops which left Philadelphia
and afterward learned that their passage through
Baltimore would be contested, took possession of
the steamboats on the Susquehanna, aud proceed
ed to Annapolis. The steumer Maryland arrived
there yesterday morning with eight hundred
Massachusetts troops on board. Another steamer
was lying off supposed to have the New York
Seventh Regiment on board. Governor Hicks
had refused to permit their passage through Ma
ryland, und it was proable they would reach
Washington by way of the Pototuuc.
It was rumored yesterday that Fort McHenry
hud been reinforced, but there is no foundation
lor the statement other than the stoppage of a
steamboat there for coal.

Ccknino, Ga., April, lflfil. j
£,i4r>r ChronicU <#■ St nit iu, l You will pardon j
th<* liberty I have taken to address you, when I ‘
tell vou that my great inclination to do so assails ;
mean constantly that I can only find relief in j
writing to vou on a subject that seems to me to j
be of vast importance, and one that monopolizes i
all mv thoughts and attention.
My'father and family have ever been the strong- |
est of Whigs, and, of course, not in favor of im- i
mediate secession ; but as that has been the ir- !
revocable act of the South, I submit to it, and
say, “as goes Georgia so go L” But at the same
time I am conscious that that very act has in
creased our responsibilities tenfold. We have
outwardly assumed the g"rb of independence,
and now let us walk in the path our State has
chosen. And shail man tread it alone? Shall he
go forth to his daily toil and labor until his
htre>h is almost sent, and on his return find
perhaps bis three blooming daughters in the very
excess of idleness—one lounging on a sofa, with a
novel in her hand, and one thumping on her
piano, and the other nursing her favorite lap-dog ?
i he poor man groans aloud when be thinks of his
increasing demands. And does that groan escape
the girls’ears 9 Yes, for, poor innocent things,
they know nothing of their father’s trouble and
the'great responsibilities that rest upon their own
shoulders. And why don’t they kuow it? Be-;
cause they don’t wish to. Tbeit way of living is j
the fashion, and the thought of giving it up would
make people think that we are getting poor.
Would they be caught at the spinning-wheel, the I
loom, or at the cook pot? No, not they ;it would j
spoil their white little hands. No, they can’t af- j
ford jo give up their favorite pastimes. Poor j
little poodle must continue to be caressed and j
fondled at whatever cost, and without a novel
they would die of ennui; and the piano, who !
could think of doing without it? Oh, salsa pride, •
false pride, bow long will you sway your power |
over the better sense and better judgment of ]
those meek, silly creatures. This simple itlustra- !
lion though somewhat ou the extreme) is appli
cable to a great many Southern families. And I
ask again, shall this state of things exist? No,
no, no, a thousand times no. Sisters of the South,
let us hurl the destructive novel in the fire, and
turn our poodles out of doors, and 1 when there is
no need of iti convert our pianos into spinning
wheels, or, w hich is more proper, have a wheel
for a substitute, whose music is rendered almost
as beautiful by its copious produce. Though I
admit it is a slow way of getting along, but the
great object most needful is “to save money,’’ It
holds good, the old saving, that “what is made is
that much saved.” Now I, for one, intend to lead
a more useful life; if I can’t make money by my
work, I can save wbai little I have. lam pretty
well acquainted with the implements of home in
dustry, and I expect to cultivate a better acquaint
ance. Let us centre our thoughts and desires
within the circle of home and its employments,
and we will be a more conteuted and happy aud
useful people. Let us manufacture as much as
possible our own goods, and we will soon be
worthy of the independence we have assumed.
Will none of mv Southern friends join me in my
work of reformation ? If lam alone on this sub
ject, I surely have taken a wrong view of facts?
What do you tiling, Mr. Editor? Will you give
me some encouragement by publishing such por
tions of this letter-as }ou think fit ? And if you
don't think any of it is worthy of publication, this
is the last you will hear of me; but it will not
convince ine diat I am wrong—nor induce me to
forsake my theory, for I find more real enjoyment
in my mind than any other worldly subject ever
afforded me. I feel anew life within me, aud my
ambition aims at unthiug higher than to become
au ingenious, economical, iudusirious housekeep
er, and an independent Southern woman. I shall
exercice my influence on all my acquaintances, in
order to convert them to my theory, and the ob
ject ot this letter is to speak to others of my sex
that are at a distance. If I effect what I desire,
I shall be amply repaid for the trouble of writing
these lines. If I effect a reformation among my
female friends and win the approbation of my
male friends, 1 shall accept it with more pride
than a crown of the richest diadems.
Your humble servaut, G. E. F.
We have been politely furnished the subjoined
letter for publication, dated Richmond, Ya., April
:
1 see by your papers that you are comparative
ly quiet in your city. It is not the case here.—
The great crisis seems near at hand. This city
and State are in a perfect blaze of war. Every
hour ii r l l i■ - from the interior troops that will
tight i;> I ;• b alh. They have all the elements
neci • ito do it. -the will and muscle.
\ < i .J.iv was quite one of events that cannot
be firt_ >io n. It was worth a patriot's heart to
see r *• ml thousand troops moving with their
lugg.tßeally the scene was warlike. Every
description of stuff'to assist in the destruction of
an enemy w as moving forward—six-horse wagons
as vast and as far as the eye could see; some
twenty five pieces of brass cannon, aud others of
u heavier calibre, all in solemu procession.
A band of fifty instruments serenaded Vice-
President Stephens. He responded and gave us
quite a handsome speech. He was followed by
Gem i a! Lee-, Messrs. Seddon, Flournoy and oth
er.. This has been a great day iu old Virginia.—
Rest assured that nothing less than the Confeder
ate flag floating over the Capital at Washington
will satisfy us.
Four hundred Cavalry arrived last night from
Amelia County, and fifty free negroes offered
their services and were accepted by Gov. Letcher.
Since General Lee has joined us, matters will
be organized here and move with astonishing
rapidity, lie has nil the secrets of the Govern
ment, and is said to be the best military man in
the^ountry.
Gov. Letcher is very active. lie already has
8,000 soldiers at Harper’s Ferry, and all other
points well manned.
Virginia will stand by Maryland, and I am in
formed has already on the march to her border
about 20,000 soldiers.— Okas. Cour , 25 th.
Cairo, lll.—This point is said to have been se
lected by the Black Federalists as the key of their
operations on the Mississippi. The Memphis Bul
letin, of the 20th inst., foreshadows some resis
tance :
We conversed, yesterday, with a gentleman
who passe I Cairo on Thursday, and he assures us
that the people of that city are very decidedly
against l.incoin’s policy. They were about erect
ing a secession flag there, and the prospect is that
they will side with the South in this fratricidal
strife. One citizen, in speaking of the report
that Lincoln intended seudiug an army of 10,000
there, said that such an army would not last the
Cai.oites ten hours!
Tim Richmond Whig of the 23d inst., speaking
of the war spirit in Virginia, says :
A letter from Rockingham—a county in which
the Union sentiment was more prevalent than any
other, says, that “if the war spirit of the State
may be judged of by tha; which is raging here,
there w ill be at least one hundred thousand men
in the field in less than a month !”
The Tin r. Spirit • r ic Charlotte Bulletin ol
Tuesday says :
A warm-hearted Southerner and gentleman of
wealth has intimated to us that he will be one of
a hundred to raise SIOO,OOO for the purpose of
putting in proper trim those of our citizens who
may he called to the tented field. This is the
spirit that should animate every man among us.
Let our citizens who have the means to do so,
cmululc it. It this be done, all our fighting men,
will at ouce be put upo* a war footing. Money
will bring the materials of war. Let it he forth
coming.
Provisions not Stopped. —lt was mentioned in
our telegraphic dispatches a few days since that
a lot of bacon shipped at Cincinnati for Charles
ton on the steumer Glenwood for this city, had
been seized immediately upon the bout leaving
Cincinnati, and the report was subsequently con
tra dieted by telegraph. Hie Glenwood urrived
here 3 esti rday, and trom one of her passengers
we heard the following facts in regard to the mat
te!. After the Glenwood left Cincinnati, a tele
graph dispatch was sent to the authorities of Au
rora and Madison, iu Indiana, to intercept the
boat and have her cargo examined to see whether
there was anything “contraband of war”—that is
armor or ammunition—and if so, to secure the
same. At both points named committees of citi
zens were designated, who made the requisite ex
amination, unheading casks of bacon, openiug
bales of hay aud other suspicious looking packa
ges, hm no arms or ammunition having been
fouml, the boat was permitted to proceed on its
way.— .\a.ihviha Union, 2od.
A Lusty Zouave.—Howard C. Wright, one of
the editors of the New Orleans Ree, and the able
Warrington correspondent of that journal, who
passed through Mobile with the 3d and sth com
panies of Zouaves, and marched with them across
the country, writes a pleasant account of the
march. Among other incidents he details the feat
,of one Martin, a Zouave soldier of Sainpsonian
strength. The column had been brought to a halt
in the piny woods to rest, and Martin, not being
weaned, straying off for a stroll a short distance
from the road, fel 1 iu with a drove of the half wild
cattle of the Daldwin range, which surveyed his
enrious appearance with much wonder and evi
dent dissatisfaction, evidently offended nt his
costume. One spirited bull, unable to brook the
insult offered his instinctive antipathies by the
innocent red breeches of Martin, charged upon
the Zouave, who drew his knife and coolly waited
the desperate onslaught. As the bull cauie upon
him with head down he caught a horn of the ani
mal with one of his powerful hands and slew him
with his knife, so that he died on the spot, the i
irrasp never leaving the horn from the time it was
fixed upon it until the animal was prostrate iu his
last death struggle. The beef being thus slain iu
self defence, and liable to spoil if left in the woods,
the soldiers were obliged to modify their bacon
diet with rations of fresh meat*
There are two things certain, that Martin i9 not
to be frightened at any danger, ail'd will not get
into any which he will not fight out of if it can
be done. He is first cousin of the famous man
who butted the bnlt off the bridge.— Mobile Ad
vertiser.
Difficulty at Cairo, lll.—Passengers by the
boat yesterday report that when the boat passed
Cairo, a collision was hourly expected betweeu
tl ‘ Republican volunteer couipauies from North
ern Illinois and the citizens of Cairo, led bv Leu.
G. Faxon. It seems, as near as we could get at
the story, that the Government bad imported a
Republican to act as Postmaster, which had pro
duced much ill feeling, and the people determin
ed t*> run the appointee out of the city. A crowd
headed by Brig. Gen. Len. took the Postmaster
out and huug him up, but let him down before it
was too late, and after scaring him badly turned
him loose. He put out on the first train* and his
story exasperating the Republicans, two military
companies were dispatched from Springfield, to
reinstate the Postmaster and punish the offen
ders. The troops had not arrived when the boat
passed, but were hourly expected on the train.—
The people of Cairo and the adjacent country,
with a considerable force from Paducah, were
ready to meet the troops. The probabilities are
that if the troops came they got a warm recep
tion.— Clark*?irU (Ten n .) IS/A.

Mr. Adair. Harland, and others, declared their 1

Affairs at Norfolk.—Passengers from Nor- j
folk, last evening, report all quiet, aud prepara- !
tions lor defence going on vigorously. The j
steamers Pe Soto and Spalding are reported to ■
have landed another reinforcement of Northern j
troops at ]• ortress Monroe. The Norfolk Argus
lean.s from a resideut at Hampton that 1,000
troops left Old Point. Tuesday, at 11 o'clock A. M., !
tor Washington, and that three ships and two |
war steamers, with a large number of troops on i
board, were off the fort. This is confirmed bv •
other statements.
Lieutenant Horace Randall, formerly
of the U. S. Dragoons, has been appointed to the
command of the Arsenal at Chattahoochee. The
Quincy Fla. Republic of the 13th inst, says :
** Lieut. Randall has considerable reputation in
Texas, and in the old army as an Indian fighter,
and it was to his brave conduct that Jefferson
Davis alluded in the U. S. Senate, when he point
ed to a campaign of the “gallant young dragoon,’’
who has ridden over seven hundred miles in 12
davs in a successful pursuit after the Indians, in
replring to a sneering remark that the army was

An Ordinance to repeal the Ratification of the
Constitution of the United States of America,
bv the State of Virginia, and to resume all the
rights and powers granted under said Constitu
tion.
The people of Virginia, in their ratification of
the Constitution of the United States of America,
adopted by them in Convention, on the twenty
fifth day of June, in the year of our Lord one
thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight, having
declared that the powers granted under said Con
stitution were derived trom the people of the
United States, and might be resumed whensoever
the same should be perverted to their injury and

the Southernlslavenolding States :

the people of this State, in Convention, on the

dered. Those who may be engaged in the mili
tary service of the State may vote at their en

or not.]
PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVBBNOR OV VIRGINIA.
Whereas, in the emergency which was supposed
to exist during the past week, arising from infor
mation that an invasion of the rivers of the State
was about to be made, aud the movements of the
ressels of the United States with troops into the
waters of this Commonwealth, and the unusual
destruction of public property by the agents of
that Government, both at Harper’s Ferry and at
the Gosport Navy Yard, gave ample reason for
such belief; ana whereas, under sach circum
stances, suudrv vessels in the waters of the James
River, the Rappahannock, York, and Potomac
Rivers, aud their tributaries, have been seized
and detained by the authorit.es of the State, or
officers acting under patriotic motives without
authority, and it is proper that such vessels and
property should be promptly restored to the mas
ters in’ command, or to the owners thereof.
Thefore,
I, John Letcher, Governor of the Common
wealth. do hereby proclaim that all private vessels
and property so seized or detailed, with the ex
ception oi the steamers Jamestown and Y'ork
tovvn, shall be released aud delivered up to the
said masters or owners. Proper officers of the
State Navy have been assigned to each of the
rivers herein mentioned, with orders to release
such vessels aud property, and give certificates
for damages incurred by the seizure and deten
tion.
PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA.
Whereas, Volunteers are simultaneously ten
dering their services, in person, from all parts of
the State, without waiting for orders, as they were
required to do by a tormer proclamation, and are
repairing to Richmond, without previous notice,
at great expense to the Commonwealth; and be
fore suitable provision has been made for their
accommodation, aud before their services are re
quired ; these are, therefore, to require all com
panies not now iu Richmond and not ordered
here or elsewhere, to remain at their homes, hold
ing themselves simply in readiness for service,
until ordered by competent authority. All per
sons engaged in making artillery harness or oth
er equipments, or on any other special duty for
the State, are exempted from military aervice,
without express orders to the contrary. And no
company will be mustered into service unless the
complement of men prescribed by law shall have
been obtained.
Given under my hand, &c.
JOHN LETCHER.
By order of the Governor :
George W. Munfohd,
Sec’y of the Commoewealth.
I feel it my duty, furthermore, to advise the
people of the Commonwealth (not in the military
service of the State,) to return to their usual avo
cations, in connection with the trade and com
merce of the country, assuring them protection
and defence. If war is to be inaugurated by an
attempt to invade this Commonwealth, or to use
coercion against the Southern Confederated States
—a contingency dependent on the action of the
Government of the United States—it shall be
met and conducted by this Commonwealth upon
principles worthy of civilized nations und of this
enlightened age. I m>.*eal to all our people not
to interfere with peaceable, unoffending citizens,
or others, who preserve the peace and conform to
our laws, and I do hereby especially discounte
nance all acts of seizure of private property with
out authority of law, and require that order shall
be restored, and that all the laws be administered
and executed by the tribunals especially assigned
for the purpose.
Given under my hand, as Governor, and under
the seal of the Commonwealth, at Richmond,
24t.h April, 1861, and in the 85th year of the Com
monwealth. John Letcher.
By the Governor:
George W. Munford,
Sec’y of the Commonwealth.
Major General Beauregard.—Gen. P. G. T.
Beauregard was bom near New Orleans, aud is
now about forty-three years of age. He graduated
at West Point in 183 b, taking the second honor in
a class of forty five, was appointed 2d Lieutenant
in the first Artillery, and, a week afterwards, was
transferred to the corps of Engineers. He was
promoted to the Ist Lieutenancy, June, 1839, and
in that capacity served during the Mexican War.
He was twice brevetted for “gallant and merit
orious couduct in the field”—first as Captain for
the battle of Contreras and Churubsuco; and agaiu
as Major for the battle of Chepultepec. He wes
wounded in the assault upon the Garita de Belen
in the city of Mexico. On his return home he was
elegantly sworded, and appointed master of the
Mint and Custom House at New Orleans, as well
us of the fortifications on or near the mouth of
the Mississippi. About two months since he was
ordered to \Y est Point as Superintendent of the
Military Academy, but was relieved by President
Buchanan, within forty eight hours, as a rebuke,
it is alleged, to the secession speech of Senator
Slidell, who is a brother iu-laaw of Gen. Beau
regard.
Gen. B. is in the prime of life and vigorous
health, erect as a soldier, well made and remarka
bly active. There is great spirit and determina
tion in his look, and he evidently possesses great
muscular power. The great characteristic of the
General is a perfect method iu all his plans. He
is regarded as one of the best officers that was
ever in the American Army. Brave, upright and
of incorruptible integrity, he is one of those tew
characters that circumstances could never change.
Eminently social, simple aud affable in his man
ners, it is, indeed, a great eulogism that can be
passed upon him, when it is said that he is equally
liked ana respected by all who know him.
From all quarters of the non-slaveholding States
the cry comes up, in substance and effect, “ crush
out the rebels at all hazards We hear no dissent
ing voice. Conciliation, compromise, concession,
have died upon Northern lips. No hand holds
out the Hag of peace. Every avenue of hope
seems doubly closed, and every tongue reiterates
the cry of “ vindicate the powers of the Govern
ment, and crush out the rebels at all hazards.”
For reasons often heretofore stated aud urged, we
have opposed this war of subjugation, but we are
now left no alternative but to submit to its bloody
and inhuman course, or to resist it. Tennessee
can ask no time to consider which she will take.—
Xash trills Patriot.
Speech from Gen. Houston.—Gen. Houston,
late Govemer of Texas, made a speech at Galves
ton, Friday evening last. The News says : “He
emphatically denied ever having held any com
munication whatever, direct or indirect, with Mr.
Lincoln or his Government, or his agents, know
ing them to be such.” He also denied that he
claimed still to be Governor of Texas, and said
that “be had retired to private life, and should
never leave it but in defence of the country.
[A T . O. Picayune.
Harris County.—We had been reliably in
formed, as we thought, that our neighboring
county, Harris, had not yet taken steps to con
tribute a company to the service of the Confede
rate States. We have since learned that this is a
mistake. One full company has already been or
ganized, and two others are forming for active
service. We take great pleasure in putting Har
ris right, by making the correction.— Col. Sun.
Revolutionary Blood in the Field.—Capt. Jno.
Clark Mounger, commander of the Brooks Rifles,
was in town this morning, en route for home, and
will start next week for the scene of action in Old
Virginia. Capt. Mouoger is a grandson of Gen.
Elijah Clark of revolutionary memory, and a ne
phew of our late gallant Gov. John Clark. The
Capt&in takes with him to the wars three sons.

To the Ladies—A New Way of Making Lint.—
On Saturday last at the Court House in this city,
I noticed several ladies engaged in scrapiDg lint
with knives, but it appeared to be verv tedious
business. After working away for some time
trying different kinds of knives. Miss McKey, one
of the party, suggested tearing up the linen into
fine piecea* and then carding it. They all agreed
to her proposition, so she had some cards brought
and it proved to be the very idea. It was not
long before they had a large bex of nice fine
carded lint. I would recommend all persons who
are engaged in scraping lint, to try Miss McKey'a
plan of carding.— Middle Georgian.
Gov. Ellis.—We are truly gratified at being
able to state that the health of Gov. Ellis is daily
improving. Although crowded by business, he
dispatches it promptly to the entire satisfaction
of all who have business with his office.
It has been reported that Gov. Ellis, on account
of his feeble health, intends resigning his office,
but we are glad to learn that there is not a word
of truth in the report. The Governor will stick
to bis post as long as life will permit him.—

First Cannon Casting.—The enterprising firm
of Whitfield, Bradley A C ~ of Clarksville, Tenn.,
having made the necessary preparations, com
menced casting six pounders to-day. They will
turn them out rapidly hereafter. —Aaekville Ban
ner, 24/A.
Rifle Cannon.—We learn from the Louisville
< Ky) Courier that Mr. John Muilane of that city,
has invented and made a rifle cannon, which car
ries a four pound and two ounce ball to a distance
of three miles with great precision. We agree
with the Courier that Mr. Muilane should be en
gaged to supply more as rapidly as possible. It
would be well enough to increase the size a little.
From information received yesterday it is con
fidently believed that Chief Justice Taney, and
two associate Justices of the Supreme Bench of
the Lincoln States, have resigned. It is also
stated that the venerable Chief Justice will give
a public explanation of his reasons. — Charleston

Later from Texas.
The steamship Wm. G. Hewes arrived at Ber
wick’s Bay yesterday, with news from Galveston
to Saturday, the 20th. She brings the following
spirited orJer from Gen. Sherman, the comman
dant at Galveston :
Headquarters, Galveston, April 19, 1861.
All citizens capable of bearing arms not over
sixty years of age who do not enroll themselves
into someone of the volunteer companies of the
city by the 22d inst., will be enrolled in the mili
tia, by officers appointed m each ward for that
purpose.
J“i C “H e t ° f K bemg Ca ’J ed iDtO serTice - will be
required to bring such arms as thev m a T haTe
until they can be furnished by the State 3
b “ b TI ! - iL ma - T reach our shores !
W ho in Texas wifi shrink from his duty in such a
crisis * We invoke not only the spirit of 1776
but of 1536, to arouse from’ its slumber ‘and
again assert the independence of Texas. The
misrule of Black Republicanism would scarcely
be less fatal to our interests than that of Mexican
intolerance. We have shaken off the one—let us
manfully repel the other.
By order of S. Sherman, Commandant.
i he order is accompanied by other similar ones
necessary to carry it into effect. Th alarm sig
nal for the assembling of the city troops, will be
at first a fire alarm, and secondly after an inter
val of one minute, six taps of the bell, to be re
peated four times with intervals.
Defence of the Frontier.— -By this arrival, we
also have the following proclamation from San
Antonio:
San- Antoxio, Texas, April 15.1861
General order So. 1.
Having been directed byL. P. Walker, Secreta
ry of War, of the Confederate States of Ameri
ca, to raise a Regiment of Mounted Riflemen for
the defence of the Texas frontier, which is now
assembling at this and other points for immediate
service, aud finding no officer assigned to the
command of this department by that Govern
ment, and there being an indispensable necessity
for the active service of a Commanding officer
here, at this time ; I hereby, under my authority
to raise the regiment and defend the frontier, as
sume;the control and direction of all the forces of
the Confederate States Army, within the limits of
the State of Texas.
The Headquarters are established at San An
tonio, until otherwise directed by the Command
ing officer.
H. E. McColloch, Col. Commanding,
Troops Provisienal Army, C. Si A.
The Galveston News also furnishes the follow
ing editorial news, all of the same patriotic
character :
The Confederate Flag Flying. —The steam
ship Texas came into port this morning, from
Aew Orleans, with all her flags and pennons fly
ing, eight stars in the C. S. flag, and firing a sa
lute of eight guns, in honor of the secession of
>irginia.
Lireralitt and Confidence. —The City Coun
cil having appropriated the sum of $5,060—t0 be
issued in bonds—to he expended for the defence
of the city, our old fellow-citizen. Mr. Joseph Os
terman, has promptly taken the bonds, and has
taken them at par.
The people of Houston had also met in mass
meeting, and passed spirited and patriotic resolu
tions, which they are practically carrying into ef
fect with energy and liberality.
Return of the Virginia “Commissioner. —Col.
\ an Dorn.C. S. A., aud Maj. Ben McCulluch, left
here yesterday morning by the cars, en route to
Austin.
The .Major will report to Gov. Clarke the result
of his mission to Virginia to procure the arms or
dered by the Conventien, anu will hold himself at
the Governor’s orders to go upon any service that
may be necessary.
Col. Van Dorn is the commander for this State.
Call of the Governor. —Gov. Clark has re
ceived Secretary Walker’s requisition for 3,000
men, the quota of Texas in the army of 19,500
men President Davis determined a week ago to
raise. Two companies me to be armed and
equipped us artillery ; the remainder of the com
panies will be infantry. They are to be in instant
readiness to move. The Governor will issue his
call at once.
The State Gazette has authority for saying that
6,000 men are in readiness to obey any order the
Governor may issue.
Movements’ of U. S. Troops.— Capt. Gardner,
of the Wm. G. Hewes, reports the following latest
intelligence from the Texas coast. It confirms
and explains that published in our evening edition;
The Win. G. Hewes narrowly escaped being
seized by the federal troops at Powder Horn. We
received information, however, of their intentions
outside the harbor, and immediately put pack to
Galveston, where we remained hut’a short time,
and then proceeded to Brasheur city.
The federal troops are in possession of Indiano
la and have armed the steamer Fashion and an
other, supposed to be the propeller Mobile. From
what we could gather the intention of these troops
was to take the Hewes or some other good vessel,
so as to make their way to Key West.
Number of 11.. S. Troops in Texas.—ln re
gard to the troops, the Galveston Civiliau furnish
es the following intelligence;
Tliere were at Green Lake, near Indianola, at
the last accounts, two companies belonging to the
Ist U. S. Infantry and one of the Bth, under the
command of Major Larkin Smith. On the 11th
inst. the steamship Arizona lauded at Indianola
companies A, I and G, 3d Infantry, U. 8. A, un
der the command of Col. Backus, but is not com
manded by Major Sebley, and numbering-J4S men
rank and file. These troops were brought from
Brazos Santiago, and, as was stated, were to he
transported to New York on the steamship Star
of the West.
Os the precise number and description of the
U. S. troops now at Indianola we are unadvised.
The San|Antonio;Ledger, of the Bth, said that, at
that date, tliere remained, of all the troops that
were within the borders of Texas on the day of
the transfer, eight companies of the Bth Infantry
and the regimental staff and baud of the Ist and
Bth Regiments ol infantry. The companies were
all en route from El Paso and the upper forts on
that line. Lieut. A. F. Cone, the only subaltern
with Capt. Wallace’s company, resigned, while
at San Antonio, his commission in the U. S. Army
to take one in the Confederate service ; and it is
a remarkable fact that the Ist Cavalry had not a
2d Lieutenant in the regiment—every commission
being vacated by resignation, promotion or cas
ually.
Ex-Gov. Houston was in Galveston on the 18th
inst. The News, of 18th says ;
We were out on the east end of the Island yes
terday, and found Gen. Sherman busily engaged
preparing to throw up entrenchments to protect
the heavy ordnance he has placed there, in differ
ent positions, so as thoroughly to command the
approaches to the Bar, the channels into the Bay,
and the Bay and city. Those long iron 24 pound
ers, howitzers and brass 32 pounders, with the
piles of shot and shell next them, look formidably;
und when the three mortars are put in position
and the entreuchmeats thrown up—which will be
in a day or two—we may consider the entrance to
our harbor as tolerably well defended.
The Star of the West—How She was Taken.
The steamer Alabama, which arrived here this
morning, brought over about thirty of the crew of
the steamer Star of the West, on their way to
New York. We are informed by one of the crew
that the way the vessel was captured was as fol
lows ;
The steamer General Rusk simply ran up along
side and hailed the Star of the West, telling them
that the Rusk had ou board 350 troops for them
to take into Indianola. The Rusk then hauled up
alongside. The crew of the Star of the West
made fast with their ropes, and assisted them to
hand over their muskets, and otherwise rendered
them service. The Captain of the Star of the
West was then told that he wes a prisoner.
The Star of the West was a transport, and was
heavily laden with provisions, munitions of war,
&c.— Mob. Trib.
Arrival of Col. Rddler. —Col. A. F. Rudler,
whose prominent connection with the ill-fated
Walker expedition to Nicaragua is familiar to all,
arrived in our city on Tuesday night, and is stop-
the Exchange Hotel. ’ He was a prisoner
in Nicaragua for seven mouths, and but recently
succeeded in obtaining a release, through the
interposition of an American. Notwithstanding
all this, we presume that he is again ready and
willing to peril his life and liberty in defence of
his native and beloved South.— Montgomery Ad
vertiser, ‘loth.
FAYETTEVILLE ARSENAL SURRENDEREn!-The Stage
of Tuesday morning brings the intelligence that
the Fayetteville Arsenal was peaceably surren
dered by the garrison to 2,200 men, under com
mand of General Draughon, who had assembled
to take it if necessary by force. The arms and
munitions taken were 37,000 stand of arms, 0,000
pistols, 3,000 kegs of powder, and any quantity
of cannon^ balls and shells. With this armament
the Old North State is ready to engage in the
contest either to preserve their liberties ou her
own soil, or to go to the aid of any of her South
ern sisters who may need it.— Raleigh Register ,

A Roman Matron.—A case has come to our
knowledge, and we doubt not many others of a
similar nature have occurred, of a lady having
two sons, both under age, who belonged to one of
the volunteer corps which went ;to Norfolk on
Saturday. In bidding them farewell, she address
ed them thus : “My sons, it is your duty now to
defend your country. Rather than you should
return with any stain upon veur honor, I prefer
never to see you again.” With such noble moth
ers, the breed of brave men and patriots will not
become extinct. Virginia can safely trust her
honor and safety in their keeping. —Petersburg
Express.
A Generous Offer.—The agent of the Adams’
Express Company, in this city, has generously
offered to transport bundles and paskages to our
troops in Norfolk from their friends and relatives
here, free of charge. This action is alike honor
able and creditable to the gentlemanly agent, and
he will receive what he justly merits, the thanks
and lasting gratitude of our citizens. Any little
comfort or convenience the absent troops may
need, if placed in the agent’s hands with * proper
directions, will therefore be cheerfully rnd satelv
delivered.— Petersburg Express.
The Brig John Bell.—lnformation has reached
this city, which appears to be reliable, that this
vessel was captured early in April on the South
coast of Cuba, by a Spanish war steamer. The
John Bell was about 5 miles East of Cienfuegos
when taken, and had on board about four hun
dred slaves, having lost some eighty-two cn the
passage. The John Bell sailed from this p rt
some six months since, on a voyage to the coast
and was then under the command of Capt. Berk
ley After stopping at several places, the officers
ana crew finally reached Havana, where most of
them, we believe, have been allowed to go at
large.— Chas. Courier. 24/A.

on the cars. The demonstrations were first sug

depot on Tuesday night. They will be forwarded
to Pensacola as soon as possible. Preparations
for the fight at that point are continually being

Notes Under Protest.—lt is understood that
several of our leading merchants, whose notes to
Northern houses matured on Saturday, refused
to pay them beeause of the hostile and aggressive
attitude which the North has assumea towards
the South—preferring to await the restoration of
peaceful relations between two sections.

and will equip at his own expense, a company of

MISCBLIANEOI'S ITEMS.
The Provision Market.—Tbe suspension of
intercourse with the Xorth has created quite a
stir in our provision m. rket for some days past.
Everything, nearly, has gone up to starvation
price's. Flour (family) is selling at sll to sl2,
corn from $1.15 to $1.25, oats 85c.,hay $2 to $2.25,
beef, pork and mutton 15 to 18 cents, and nearly
everything else in proportion. As money be
comes scarce it is beginning to cost a third more
to live, and the tendency is still upward.
The presence of a large body of troops—who
are generally good feeders—has added largely to
the list of consumers, and to appearances supplies
decrease inversely with the movements of the de
mand. We hope our country friends in all direc
tions will take our condition into consideration
and send forward whatever they may have to
spare, with the assurance that they will be hand
somely rewarded. Poultry, of all sorts, is very
scarce, dear and poor, and fresh supplies woulii
be readily disposed of at remunerating prices.—

ery, in compliance with the request of Postmas

Montgomery, and arrange tor the continuance of
the mails over these routes. Mr. Johnson says
that the road over which he has control, will car
ry the mail whether paid or not, until a further
arrangement is made. Such a course, we are
persuaded, will be pursued by all the railroads in
this State.— Charleston Mercury.
The ‘‘Keystone State.' I — This favorite steam
ship, so well known in our waters, has been
pressed into the service of Lincoln, and at last
accounts was taking round to Washington a body
of Massachusetts troops. Mr. Daniels, her pilot,
reached here Tuesday. He says the officers and
crew of the steamer were summarily ejected by
the Abolitionists, and in such haste that some of
them were not even allowed to take ,ashore their
wearing apparel.— Savannah Republican 25 th.
A Ri:mor.— The Virginia Heights, Opposite
If ashington. —There were rumors from Washing
ton yesterday to the effect that Colonel Lee, of
Virginia, had taken possession of the Heights of
Arlington, opposite the Western portionof Wash
ington, with bodies of Virginia troops, throwing
up earth works and planting batteries. Some of
the passengers in the atternoon train repeated the
report, as such, but others discredited it, or had
not heard of it in Washington. Col. Lee resides
in the vicinity of Arlington. — Baltimore Sun.
Another Florence Nightingale.— Mrs. A. E.
Nicholson, a lady of tine attainmeuts, and a gradu
ate of the Parisian School of Medicine, is going to
Pensacola to offer her services as a nurse for the
sick and wounded, and has collected a quantity of
suitable linen, lint, etc., to take with her. ller
services may be greatly needed, and we think
her good intentions will be appreciated by the
officers in command there. Mrs. N. can furnish
the highest testimonial of character and efficiency,
and this will not be the first time she has mani
fested her public spirit, having done good service
in the South during the ravages of yellow fever
in 1853. Success to her in her noble mission.—

Mysterious.— A few days ago the U. S. steam
er St. Louis left Pensacola Bay suddenly and has
not been heard from since. It is reliably report
ed that all of the officers and crew of this ship are
in full sympathy with the South, and that her
Captain, Mr. Pore, ol Virginia, had taken her to
some Southern port and delivered her up. We
shall hear more of this iu a day or two.—Mont
gomery Confederation.
Like Insurance and the War.— Many inquiries
have been made by parties interested as to the
effect of service in the Army or Navy upon life
insurance. The New England Life Insurance
Company, of Boston, has established a war rate,
at two per cent, above the ordinary rates, and’
has commenced the issuing of policies.
The Cincinnati Gazette remarks that “Bennct
and Buchanan both sustaining the Government,
is a severe test of the confidence of the people in
its rectitude. It may be right, but the support of
these two worthies constitutes a ‘prima facie case
against it.”
Patriotic Kentuckian.— The New Orleanifßur
letiu says : An old, highly respected and wealthy
citizen of Kentucky, of Irish birth, who has, for
the past forty years, remained iu our city duoing
the winter season, engaged in large business
transactions, leaves for his adopted State iu a day
or two for the purpose of expending the hand
some sum of ten tuousaud dollars to arm and

How the American Flag is Raiser.—Wc learn
from the New York papers, thut a mob went
round last week to all the newspaper offices in
New York and Brooklyn, and by threats com
pelled the proprietors to raise the Stars and
Stripes. Verily, a patriotism that can only be
brought out under the menaces of a mob, is not
much to brag of.—Savannah Republican.
Picket Guard no Use.— At the usual detailing of
the picket guard at Fort Morgan the other day,
one of the ineu protested stoutly against it, say
ing—‘‘Now, see here, what’s the use in going out
thereto keep every body off? We’ve all come
down here to have a fight with the Yankees, and
if you keep fellows out there to scare ’em off, how
are we going to have a fight.” His philosophical
resonmg done no good ; tie had to mount guard

The Pensacola Observer says Col. Lockridge,
of Texas, has returned there from Montgomery,
and will enter the Confederate Army as a private.
The telegraph office in Washington has been
taken possession of by Lincoln, who has appointed
a Black Republican named Watson, an attache of
the New York Express. Under this individual’s
supervision all messages have to pass. It is not
probable that he will allow any unfavorable intel
ligence concerning the Myrmidons now concen
trating in Washing to reach the South.
[Charleston Courier .
An extra session of the Maryland Legislature
is called for by Governor Hicks, on the 26th in
stant.
The Ordinance of Secession will be submitted
as a matter of course to a vote of the people. But
it will be a mere formality. The ratification will
be carried by one almost “unanimous shout. The
Convention well knows that, and it is wisely pro
viding for the welfare of the Republic.— Richmond

Federal Troops in Illinois.—A telegram was
received yesterday, which mentions the concen
trution of Federal troops at Cairo, 111., the sup
posed object of which was a descent upon the
South by the way of Memphis, Tenn.
Maj. Beale, late of the United States Army,
whose resignation we have already recorded, ar
rived in this city from Memphis last evening. By
him we learn that no force has as yet gathered at
Cairo, but that the Administration threaten to
send a force to stop boats laden with provisions
for the South from coming down the river.

Incidents of the Baltimore Fight.— The fol
lowing incidents of the fight in Baltimore, on Fri
day last, are reported by the Exchange of that
city:
When the young man Ward was shot, he was
standing, with others of his acquaintance, upon
the pavement, one oi whom witnessed the pro
ceeding, and marking the man who fired the shot,
he drew his revolver, and taking daadlv aim, fired.
The soldier fell to the earth, and would have been
torn to pieces had the police not interfered. Be
ing carried in a store near by, he was surrounded
by several citizens, and it soon became evident
that he was dying. Whilst in the last throes of
death, he exclaimed, “I have got what I deserved;
I left a peaceful and happy home to come and in
vade the land es my brother.” These were the
last audible words he uttered.
A resident es this city was forced by the rush
of the crowd in close proximity to one of the sol
diers. He raised his gun, and taking deliberate
aim, pulled the trigger. The cap exploded, but
the gun failed to go off. The citizen rushed for-
ward, and seizing the musket, plunged the bayon
et almost entirely through his body.
The soldier, who was an Irishman, fell to the
ground, and was carried to the sidewalk, where
he called those around him to bear witness “that
he thanked his God, although he was dying him
self, that his gun had not exploded : that he never
desired this service, and was pressed into it under
the threats of death ; that the people of Baltimore
did right; and thao the rest of the troops deserved
his fate.” At the moment of death he again re
peated his protest against this unholy war upon
brethren, and said he lustified the people of Balti
more, and that he and his comrades bad been led
to believe that the people of Baltimore though
exactly upon political subjects as the people o
Massachusetts did.
Affairs at Norfolk.—The following items are
from the Norfolk Argus of Wednesday :
A large number of slaves are busily working
upon the batteries and other means of defending
the harbor. The services of many of these stal
wart sons of Africa have been tendered by their
generous owners, and they enter upon their new
duties zealously and eagerly.
Captain Walker, of the schooner Zephaniah,
which arrived from Baltimore on Monday night,
reports that on his way down the Bay he saw two
large steamers, probably transports, bound up.
One of them appeared to be filled with troops.
He also saw a third steamer, yesterday, take
troops to Fort Monroe.
A list of thirty-two worthy free negroes of this
city, who have ‘offered their services in the work
of defence, or in any other capacity required, has
been seni in to the Captain or the Woodis Rifle
men. *
The battery at the Naval Hospital would strke
the military eye as an elegant affair. A large
number of nine-inch Dahlzren guns are among
the “bady-wakers,” and they would rake the
channel for two miles down.
The City Council, last evening, unanimously
resolved to issue small notes, to an extent not
exceeding $50,000, in sums of s2, $1 and 60 cents,
carrying interest.
A Hairs In Itlarylaud.
Annapolis has evidently been chosen by the
Federal Government as the base of its operations
in Maryland for the reinforcement of Washington.
The New York and Massachusetts Regiments
whose arrival there has been announced, yester
day took possession of the Railroad. Troops
were probably also thrown out from Washington,
and yesterday afternoon, it is reported, the whole
line of the road was in their possession, and the
Northern troops were being thrown into Wash
ington. The officers of the Norfolk boat, which
arrived here yesterday morning, report several
transports in the Bay with troops on board. Their
destination was probably Annapolis. The people
between Annapolis and Washington are reported
to be rapidly concentrating in armed masses, but
so far no collision is reported. Communication
between this city and Washington is now entirely
suspended.— Balt. Amer., 24 th.
We learn bv the Messenger of Taylor’s Pony
Express, who’ left Havre dc Grace yesterday
afternoon, that there were eight hundred Penn
svlrania troops at Perrysvilie, awaiting transpor
tation to Aunapolis. They had arrived yester
day morning, and were anxious to proceed on
their route to Washington. There is no doubt
that the military road ordered by Gen. Scott is to
be across the country from Annapolis to Washing
ton city.
The Sun Extra of Tuesday evening, furnishes
the following:
The city wears its usual martial appearance
this morning, but events within the city limits
are not exciting. The concentration of Nfortberu
troops at Perrysvilie, on the Susquehanna, and at
Annapolis, has excited vigilaut surveillance in
those directions.
Two thousand stand of approved arms reached
the Camden Station at 8 o’clock this morning,
from Harper’s Ferry, sent by the Virginia au
thorities, to be used iu the defence of Baltimore.
The arms were received by Gen. Egerton, of the
Fifty-third Regiment, who superintended their
removal to the Maryland Institute, the head
quarters of the regiment.
Speaking of the Yankee troops who returned
rom Cockeysville, the Sun says :
Our iuformant reports the condition of the troops
as most deplorable. lie passed freely among
them as they lay sleeping in the ears and on the
ground, with their muskets hanging out of the
car windows und “lying around loose.” A force
of two hundred men could have captured all their
arniß, without awakening the enemy.
On Sunday night there was a great alarm in
the camp. A wagon came driven rapidly dowu
the road, and rattling over the stones, was mista
ken for artillery. Instantly there was a call to
arms, and formed in line. In the midst of the
excitement one of the soldiers dropped dead from
the ranks.
Annapolis, April 23. —The Seventh New York
Regiment (numbering 391 men) and the Massa
chusets Regiment landed lest night at the Naval
Academy.
Last evening, the Vansville Rangers, of Prince
George county, intercepted a messenger from
Washington, with sealed orders for Captain Blake,
of the Naval Academy, and brought him before
Gov. Hicks, who received the dispatches, and
afterwards handed them to Capt. Blake.
It is reported that they contain an order for the
troops to return home, it being impossible for
them to cross the Patuxent. The Rangers report
that nearly every man in Prince George’s county
is under arms.
The telegraph wires were cut near this place
last night. All the steamers and cars are with
teld here, aud no mails or freight can be had from
Baltimore.
Later. — Annapolis, April 23. —Two companies
of the Massachusetts regiments have this moment
taken possession of the railroad depot here, pre
paratory to leaving for Washington.
t\ from the Memphis Bulletin, ‘lit hi]
(oucout ration of Troop* at Carlo.
Gentlemen who came from Uario on Monday
night bring tidings of the concentration of troops,
to the number of several hundred, at that point.
They also assure us, that some thousands more
were expected there yesterday. The regiment
already tUere had seven thirtyfour pounders with
them. Opinion varies as to the object of this con
centration of force at Cairo—some believing that
the object is to prevent the free navigation of the
Mississippi and cut off supplies, aud others that
it is merely designed to hold it, as perhaps the
most important point in the Noitliwest. The lat
ter opinion is principally shared by steamboat
men; with whom perhaps the wish is father to the
thought. A few days will suffice to demonstrate
the real purpose of the Linconites in occupying
this point. One thing is a.ready fully demonstra
ted, and that is, that the people ol Cairo were
opposed to any such occupation of their city. The
troops which now occupy it are from Chicago,
and in approaching it had to adopt the most
stealthy means. The regular passenger truin was
detained, aud the troops sent forward from Chi
cago ill advance, while at every station they
caused it to be telegraphed that the cause of the
delay was the train was off the track. Iu this way
the people of Cairo were taken unawares, and
their city was captured by Lincoln’s men. The
reason for this strategy is said to be the indif
ference and opposition to the Lincoln Administra
tion on the part of the Cairoites, who had caused
it to be made known that if troops attempted to
approach the town, they would have to walk there!
We presume, however, that the overwhelming
military force has crushed out all lingering sym
pathy among the people for the causeof the South.
Later.-— We conversed with a gentleman lasi
night, who left Cairo yesterday morning about
10 o’clock, and who reached Memphis übout 9)£
o’clock last evening. From him we learn that
the precise number of troops landed at Cairo on
Monday night is four hundred and fifty, and that
they are mostly raw German volunteers from
Chicago, and thut two hundred more had been
left out on the Ilinois Central Railroad to guard
aud protect the bridges. The presence of such a
large military force took the people of Cairo all
aback. They seemed to regard the soldiery with
distrust and suspicion. On questioning the offi
cers, they explained that the force had been sent
down there to protect the peace and good order
of the city, aud to repress mob violence from
their own"citizens 1 They also alleged that one
thousand more troops will be in Cairo during to
day (Wednesday.) These pacific purposes, it is
believed by our informant, are merely intended
to deceive —their real object being to lull the sus
picion of the people until all the force arrives,
when they will proceed to put the town under
martial law, erect a battery and other defences,
and compel all Southern-bound steauibouts to
round to and deliver up whuteverprovisions, guns
and ammunition are destined for the South.

PRESEIST TIMIZEISr i’S.
EF” Oglethorpe Superior Court, April Term, 18(11.
-We, the Grand Jurors sworn for the April Term of the Supe
: or Court ot Oglethorpe county, for 1861, beg leave to make
t he following General Presentments:
Through our respective committees wc have examined the
books of the officers of the county, and find them correctly and
neatly kept, and the papers properly recorded. The books of
the Court of Ordinary we have not examined, in consequence
of the bad health of the Ordinary, who has asked indulgence to
make his report.
From an examination of the books and vouchers of the
Treasurer, we find the amount due the county for the year
1861, was 62,882 34
Less Collector’s commission 172 94
Leaving nett due the county 2,709 40
Amount received of James Cone, Collector, by the
Treasurer 2,175 00
Leaving balance due the county 534 40
We find the following amount on hand at October
Term of the Superior Court, 1360, and received since 29 88
Received from Collector 2,175 00
Making a total of 2,204 88
We find correct vouchers for amount of orders paid.. 2,177 65
Leaving balance cash on hand 27 23
We would particularly call the attention of the Honorable
Inferior Court to the item of unpaid taxes due the county, and
recommend its immediate collection.
We recommend that a tax of fifty per cent upon the State
tax be levied for county purposes, and an additional tax of
fifteen per cent for. cbool purposes.
We would state that we find the Treasurer’s books neatly
and correctly kept, reflecting much credit upon the officer In
charge of the finances ot the county.
We find that the Jail needs some slight repairs, and cleaos
ing, and the Court House some repairs about the windows and
blinds, and recommend thw Honorable Inferior Court to have
them attended to.
We find the roads in some sections in good order. The road
from E. V. Collier’s to Mr*. Nancy Baugh's, the one from
Mordecai Edwards’ to Pope’s Chapel, and from M. Edwards
to Cherokee Comer, and the one from Lexington to Brooks’
creek, are in bad condition. We also find that the-road In the
Immediate vicinity of the bridge crossing Long creek, between
R. S. Savin's and Thomas P. Callaway’s, is In very bad condi
tion, and ought to be attended to Immediately. The bridge
across Dry Fork, on the road leading from Thos. Fanner’s to
Washington, is in bad order.
We unanimously recommend the Honorable Inferior Court
to raise the price of license to retail liquors, Ac., to the sum of
five hundred dollars.
We also recommend the Honorable Inferior Court to have
a good fire-proof vault, or safe, constructed, for the safer keep
ing of the public records.
In taking leave of his Honor, Judge Thomas, we beg leave to
tender him our thanks for his able and Instructive charge, and
for his kindness and courtesy to this body. And we cannot
refrain from this opportunity of congratulating our fellow
citizens of Oglethorpe county, and of our sister counties in the ,
Northern Circuit, en the possession or an officer so able and
efficient.
Our thanks are also due to our worthy Solicitor GeneraJ John
C. Burch, for the prompt and faithful discharge of the duties
of his office.

one handful to the bill, and the effect will be most
wonderful. It may be applied in the same man
ner on Cotton, only let the quantity be increased
a little. On Wheat, use, say from 250 to 800
pounds to the acre, broadcast, or put in drill, and
the effect will be most marked, for just at the
time when Peruvian Guano fails in the supply of
that element which matures he Grain, this Ma

J. (J. DAWSON’S
Guano Depot,
NO. 2 WARREN BLOCK,
A ugusta.
There is to be found in this establishment a
greater variety, and a larger stock of pure and
fenuine Natural, Mixed ami Manipulated FER
ILIZERS, than in any other South of Baltimore,
and the Planters of Georgia, South Carolina and
Alabama, are requested to call and examine the
stock before buying elsewhere—they will do well
to do so.
The most, satisfactory certificates from reliable
Planters in Georgia and .South Carolina, are daily
coming in, testifying to the virtue of these Ma
nures, aud will be, after Ist of November, for
warded in pamphlet form to any who may wish to
see them.
The AMERICAN GUANO, notwithstanding the
unfavorable season, has won a reputation through
out Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina,! where
it has been extensively used,) that sets aside all
chvl as to its position among the best Fertilizers
yet discovered. It stands side by side with Peru
vian.
It is true there have been some failures—always
will be—so there has been with Stable Manure
and Peruvian, indeed, every kind this season, but
that does not prove that American Guano will not
pay a large per centage. In almost every case,
where there has been what is called a failure, it
has been owing cither to the manner in which it
was applied, the cultivation or the quantity used.
Some put it too far from the seed—some lose half
by the wind blowing it away—others by mixing
it with Stable Manure, or by usingnothulfenougii
to the acre : but take it as it was used, by the in
experienced as well as the experienced* Planter,
ana so far as we have been able to learn the truth,
in nine cases out often the Guanoed Cotton, Corn ,
Wheat, Oats, Barley, Rye. Turnips, and all Gar
den Vegetables, have yielded nearly twice as
much as the unguanoed land—so it pays even in
the dryest seasons. You make but little this year
—poor crops—but ifyou had used no Fertilizer,
you would have made next to nothing. If the
seasons had continued throughout July and Au
gust as they did up to the 15th of June, the old
worn-out hills of Georgia and Carolina would
have groaned under the weight of the most over
whelming crops ttiat were ever gathered. So
don’t be discouraged, but follow the example of
the Dicksons, Thos. Whaley, T. J. Smith, of Han
ooek • Judge Roberts, of Warren ; Dr. Mims,
T G. Lamar, and the Kansfords, of Edgefield,
S. C.; who return annually to their land from $4
to so’worth of Fertilizers per acre, and your suc
cess will be like theirs, an overwhelming income
for the money invested, to say nothing of the per
manent improvement ol'your lands.
Among the varieties I offer to the public, are
the following: JARVIS’ ISLAND, at #44- RA
KER’S ISLAND, $49 per ton of 2,000 pounds
cash, or $5 on each for city acceptance, payable
Ist November, 1841, without interest, (which are
the Savannah prices, expenses added.) These
two Fertilizers will be delivered at these prices
and on these terms, anywhere on the Central and
the Augusta & Savannah Railroads.
T he balance of the list will be sold for cash only,
nt> at the following prices, viz :
PERUVIAN, S6B ; SWAN ISLAND) 346 ‘ CO
LUMBIAN’|4O; MONK’S ISLAND, s;’ A A
MEXICAN, $35 ; B MEXICAN, SBO • BUFFIN’S
PHOSPHO, (which is one-hall Peruvian,) $54;
SANDS’ EXCELSIOR, $54; J. J. A F. TUR
NER S EXCELSIOR, (containing 700 pounds Pe
ruvian to the ton,) $54; HOYT'S SUPEK-I’HOS
PIIATE, s4o, for five tons—less quantity, SSO;
LONGETT’S SUPER-PHOSPHATE, $45 ; BONE
DWST,S3.SO per bbl.; Pure LAND PLASTER, in
large bbls., $2.50 per hbL J . ,
All these Manures are pulverised and ready lor
immediate use. All orders will receive prompt
attention.
