The ; seine of excitement that followed was onfe of i thosf • lit-: that are placed among the marked ; m..|,iori.-ofHhle tune, lhe tocsin of war was , iounde- not metaphorically but literally; the j populat uj ol the city poured into the streets, j iud tin sands upon thousands gathered towards I the poi ts where the news could be learned, and I the pi ‘- uratious for resistance witnessed or par i u. volunteer soldiery assembled at their armo j i the liglit artillery were drawn up in the streets, recruits Were enrolled, armed and hastily | drilled, and the word of command was only wait ed for the march against the enemy, j Other rumors asserted that another body of troops was approaching the city by the Reistera towu road, aud were already within six miles of the city. VV itii the discussion of these rumors and in the work of preparation the hours passed, I until more authentic intelligence showed that the i only troops approaching the city were some two j thousand, gathered near CoCkeysville ; that they j were but partially armed, but* ill supplied with | ammunition, almost exhausted by a long march j and want ot food, and, in short, rather m a condi tion, aud perhaps more willing, to retreat than to ! advance. This intelligence, with the additional I announcement from Washington that the authori ! ties there had ordered these troops to return to ; Harrisburg, calmed the excitement. The military i were dismissed with the exception of the guard . retained at the armories, the crowd thinned oil', i and what might be called quiet, iii.comparison i with the previous turmoil, prevailed in the streets | last night. I In the meantime negotiations were in progress | in Washington. The state of affairs here was I represented to the President and his advisers bv | the Mayor and the Committee of Gentlemen who j accompanied him. The President stated his de ! sire to avoid a collision with our people, but 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. From a gentleman who reached this city yester day afternoon from New \ ork, we learn* that the excitement in that city and Philadelphia in refer * i.e ) to the opposit on which the Northern troops have met wit u in Baltimore in their attempt to troops were pouring in from all directions, and there m ercea to he a tierce determination to reach the Capital at all hazards. Great difficulty was expend!. - * dby travellers iu procuring conveyance .Southward.

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&gth 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. [Macon Telegraph. 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.— Raleigh Reg., 24/A. 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 Courier, 28/A. Front the N. O. Picayune, 23 d. 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 , 24/A. 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. Andy Johnson in Lynchburg—Narrow Es- J APE,^T And '’ Johnson, late United States Senator from lennessee, passed through Lynchburg, Va. on his war from Washington to Tennessee. A large crowd assembled ana groaned him and of fered every indignity he deserved, including nnil lni,?iß nose - Every effort was made to take him on the cars. The demonstrations were first sug gested by Tennesseeans. Great difficulty was ex perienced in restraining the populace. Johnson was protected by the conductor and others, who v 6 mi 6 ht be permitted to proceed home and let his own people deal with him.

Tne Col lector being informed that on his refusal to obey the oruer a file of men would be sent down to oc cupy the premises, acquiesced—as a matter of course. for the Fight.—Two more car loads of bombshells, and several mortars, arrived at our depot on Tuesday night. They will be forwarded to Pensacola as soon as possible. Preparations for the fight at that point are continually being made.-- Montgomery Advertiser, 25th. 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. [Petersburg Express. Judge Ruffin, formerly Chief Justice of North Carolina, has raised in his own county < Alamance,) and will equip at his own expense, a company of seventy-five men, and maintain them for three years, or during the war. 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.— Save Republican. TnE Mails. —Mr. Johnson, of the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad, has gone to Montgom ery, in compliance with the request of Postmas ter-General Reagan, and the Presidents of the roads connecting East and West, to meet him in 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.— Rew Orleans Crescent, 19</j. Excitement at Matsvillk, Ky.—The Cincin nati Commercial states upon the authority of a gentleman direct from Maysville, Kentucky, that the citizens of that place, enraged at the passage of some troops from Portsmouth, Ohio, on the river steamers, planted five cannon on the wharf tor the purpose of preventing the passage of the stiamer “liostona’’ with troops. The steamer was due at 5 o'clock on Friday, and the informant of the Commercial, who left Maysville some time previous to that hour, states that half an hour after leaving he heard several shots, Which he supposed were fired at the “Bostona.” E.xeci tivk Proclamation.—Gov.

M. —Richmond Whig of Tuesday. 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 equip u regiment of Kentuckians for the defense of the Confederate States. Resigned.—Maj.

John Alexander Keith, late graduate of the Citadel, has received the appointment of 2d Lieu tenant of Infantry in the same service.—Charles ton Mercury, 23 d. 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 to “scare ’em o H. —Mobile Register. 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 Whig . A dispatch dated New York, April 21st says : The Seventh Regiment reached Annapolis safely, aud Bishop Hughes has suspended the stars and stripes from his dwelling. The sons of the most eminent citizens, also of foreign birth, are enlist ing to defend the Union No communication with Baltimore or Washington to-night. Doubtless stopped by order of the Government. No fears for the safety of Washington. 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.

Four ten-inch mortars passed through here yes terday en route for Pensacola, The Lincolnites at Cairo.— Private dispatches state that the Lincoln Government has already landed seven hundred troops at Cairo, with five thirty-four pounders. These troops are intended to operate on boatson the Mississippi and Ohio rivers.— Nashville Union , 24^. 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.

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.

FOR BEAUTIFYING THE HAIR, mpartlng to it an unequalled gloss and brilliancy, making It soft, and silky In its texture, and causing it to curl readily. The great celebrity and the increasing demand.for this une quailed preparation, convinces the proprietor that one trial Is only necessary to satisfy a discemingpublicofitssuperiorquaU ties over any other preparation at present in use. It cleanses the head and scalp trom dandrufi and other cutaneous diseases; causes the hair to grow luxuriantly, and gives it a rich, soft, glossy and flexible appearance : and also where the hair is loosening and thinning. It. will give strength and vigor to the roots, and restore the growth to those parts which l-ave become bald, causing it to yield a fresh covering of hair. There are hundreds of Ladles and Gentlemen in . cw York who have had their hair restored by the use of the Invigorator, when all other preparations had failed. L. M. has In his pos session letters innumerable testifying to the above facts, from persons of the highest respectability. It will effectually pre vent the hair from turning grey until the latest period of Lie; andir cases where the hair nas already changed its color, the use o.* the Invigorator will certainly restore It to its original hue, giving it a dark, glossy appearance. Asa perfume tor the toilet and a Hair H‘Storatlve, it is peculiarly recommended* having an agreeable fragrance ; and tne great facilities it aflords in dressing the hair, which, when moist with the Invigorator can be dressed in any required form so as to preserve it s placo, whether plain or in curls—hence the great demand for it by the ladies as u standard toilet article which none ought to be with out. as the price places it within the reach of all. being ONLY TWENTY-FIVE CENTS per bottle, obe had at ail respectable druggists’ and perfumer*.

ANNA 1,. WAONON, Adm’x. 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.
