„oil of the iMrnii’it! . ion t/a Stateof the Church,
mi h !:> the Hnu . of Deputies on the Eighth day
of their Session.
tn atteuiptin.' o discharge tho duty imposed
upon them, yovn iloinnntteo have lelt aoniewhat
embnrraa«• iby the peculiarity of their position.
It has been u question how far back they should
look for uiutermls tor this report, inasmuch as this
Church may bo said to date its history from the
opening of this Council; every previous step taken
by the members of ttie Episcopal Church in these
Confederate States having been only preparatory,
and what was done in the way of Gospel ministra
tion before the movement winch gave usadistinct
aud separate existence as a Church, properly be
longing to the doings of the old organization. On
the other hand, it has been said, the diocesan ele
ments of winch this Church is now composed,
huso had through the past three years, u continui
ty of existence as unbroken as in any form r
tneutiium through which they have pasiied. Vet
further consideration is, that while the beiug of
the dioceses has been preserved, it is too sadly
true that in some cases, their sphere hug been
much restricted, and in ail their means have been
curtailed, and the usual modes of operation more
or less interfered with The ell'eet of these things
of course has been to reduce very muoh the 111a
terials on which reports of this kind are usually
based, and to render our work rather vague and
unsatisfactory.
UmJci the circumstances it hu-i boon thought
b >i that »,0 oom ul ourselves with laying bolero
vom in.ili, ti.e reports bon the several uiueoua’,!
delegations which compose this committee, imply
prolix mg a few remarks
Vom Committee do not forget that this is tf'O
first report of the kind which has over been pro
seated to the House of Clerical and Lay Delegates,
of the Protestant Koiacopal Church tit the Confed
erate States, in Council assembled, find tboy can
not, therefore, avoid pausing for a moment, to
recognize the lad, anu to notice the peculiarity or
iheir i : icoinstaoc< s. They do so, in no spirit of
egotism oi uncharitable lies a, but of profound hu
mility, and reverence towards God, and of good
will towards all men. It is not theii desire to
.peak of the political events and relations con
, cted with these circumstances ; for this, other
perilous and places would seem more appropriate.
In conformity with the new nationality which
the people of theso Confederate States have es
tablished, the members of the Protestant Episco
pal communion have formed themselves in an in
dependent Church. As au ecclesiastical body,
their actum has beeu determined by the order
ings ot Providence; it has not attempted to lead
them. However dear to us the parsoual agencies
employ ed iu these changes,and however important
the secular interests at stake, we prefer to fix
our attention rather on that mighty ami myste
rious Hand, by wli oh all human events are ruled
uud overruled, und on ilie paramount interests
and well being of tliai Kingdom, which is ever
lasting -the Kiugdom of Christ on the earth, and
that Kingdom which is righteousness, peace and
joy, in the Holy Ghost I'd Cnristion men, the
changes which take place in the “kingdoms of
this world," eve. have >hrir chief signifi
cance in ill, lr o. anug on ihe Church of rhe Liv
ing God, even though the v rec ue nature and ef
fect of that bean no H -so; th- present hidden
from their eyes. What the God of nations means
to bring abont ultimately by the events which
h:.\ recently taken place, it is not for man to
\li>w , but this Church, if found in an attitude
docility, and dependence, and prayer, is author
uoJ to be very hopeful, and to look for the hap
licst results. " While, therefore, with a firm and
tranquil faith, we leave future events in the hands
,y lliui. Who is head over all things, to and for
llis Church, let present duty he our one concern.
lu the course of events, we have been separated
Iron brethren, with whom vre have been associa
ted in the s mie ecclesiastical communion, since the
protestaut Episcopal Church was folly organn and
and set in operation on this continent. Though
now iound within different political boundaries,
the Church remains essentially one. In this re
spect. wo are no more separated from them, than
I- v -he members of any Protestant Episcopal
Chur', throng! out the world. In matters of this
kind, ueither geographical bounds, nor civil rela
tions, nor any temporal causa whatsoever, can
have effect so long os in doctrine, discipline, and
worship we are substantially the same. And as
ecclesiastically our unity is to this extent thus
presorted, so we would endeavor, in spite of
every temptation to the contrary, to cultivate to
the utmost, towards our former associates, the
“unity of the spirit in the boud of peace.”
We have said, that present duty should be with
ns the one concern; that duty must be peculiar,
for our circumstances are peculiar. The cedes;
cal revolution which has entued upon the po
-3*l, carries with it a call to new exertions, it
« possibly be in some respects, to new modes
of operation, and certainly to anew spin*. Jort
as individual Christian*, on a change of residence,
associations, or tbe like, should improve theop
porlnni.y, not, it may be, to modify their princi
ples in any measure, but to make connections and
amendment* in the practierl application of them,
and start in anew and more aurpicious e “ rce f, l .
life : to should it be witba church, situated -'S this
now is To say the least, old»meihods should be
plied with more zeal, perseverance, and prayer
fulness, and old causes sustained wlh more
Steadiness and self sacrifice. _ , . ,
Oi all the various modes of religious and be
nevolent operation which have occupied the
Church in yeard past, we would drop a word only
upon twe; and the first is, that of Missions. It is
exceedingly gratifying to absolve here, that the
deep interest of the Church in this cause, showed
itself even in the initial Convention called in
Montgomery, and tbut, notwithstanding the un
propitiousness of tho times, sums of money have
been collected and distributed by the Committee
there appointed, not only for domestic, but also
foreign use. In this particular, therefore, we
may almost venture to say of the Church, that
“she hath done what slie could.” For the future,
it is humbly hoped, that whatever cause, extra,
parochial, Is neglected or sustained among us,
this will not fail to be carried forwurd.
Never is tbe Church mare herself, than when
she is listening to, and endeavoring to observe
her itprhjfc Master's eofiiiiiand, "Go ye into all
tbe world, and preach the Gospel to every crea
ture.”
Ihs other species of religious effort w hich de
serves to call for notice from this committee, is.
that in be': alf of tho spiritual wolfsre of our colored
population.
ft in not necessary to indicate the emphasis
wiih which Providential . vents commend this
cause to our hoarts Not. wilhout reason is it,
with all Southern Episcopalians, a matter ot thank
fulness to God, that tins is with them no new
subject of feeling or of elfort. Tho Journals ol
the G< uer.il Convention ol the Church of which
we one i formed a part, and much more, those of
the severs! Southern dioceses, show that for many
years back, there lias been put of God into the
marts of our ministers and people, an earn ;at
desire to discharge their duty in this particular,
und that the desire has not proved abortive.
We only add our conviction, that it is the
urgent duty of this Church to go on in this good
work till, if possible, it may be said of her too,
us ia the other case just referred to, “she hath
done what she coil'd.”
Our last topic has reference, not to specific
modes of operation, hut to the spirit in winch all
work should be done in the Church of Christ.
Standing, us we do, at the head of anew histori
cal series, beginning anew era of ecclesiastical
events, cuu it seem inappropriate to any one to
suggest that u renewed effort should be made by
the members of our communion, practically
and at every step to recognize our entire depen
dence, for the accomplishment ot the work, which
smr ascended Cord h’s assigned us, on the pre
sence and influence of the Holy Ghost, A great
vital truth and'principle which needs to be real
ized more und more each succeeding age by the
Church of Christ, is contained in she words,
“Not by might, or by power, but by my Spirit,
saith the Lord.” Grout ugencies, large moans
and much zeal and exertion have been now for
borne years employed in the cause of Christ’s
Chinch; and though they have not bean at all
equal i.i amount to the exigencies of the world,
or duly proportioned to our own obligations, yet
such as tliey are, thoy do not seem to have been
a.ways attended by what might be considered a
proportionate amount of hireling and beneficial
result.
May it not be, that we have not sufficiently la
bored in a feeling of dependence on tha diiect
blessing of Uaaven ; forgetting that general laws,
means to ends, and obligatory ordinances, were
designed to set tis at work, und make us diligent,
but not in tho least to encourage the idea, that, ip
true religion there is any “sufficiency” but “of
God.” In other words, is it not possible, that the
great lesson needed and designed to be renewedly
impressed upon us at this time, and transferred
afresh from our creeds to our heartH, is, that “Paul
may plant and Apollos water, hut God giveth the
increase V” Surely, it >b net too much to believe,
that blessed us we are with a scrip'urul creed, an
Apostolic ministry, a spiritual liturgy, a wise con
stitution and canons, aud u general system at
once orthodox and yet liberal, stable, and yet com
prehensive, poos easing all tho advantages ot anti
cpiily, without obsoleteness or a rigid inapplica
bility ; if our minds were turned with more inten
sity to a devout consideration of the great doctrine
of divine influence, ns a practicable dootrino, and
to u moro distinct aud habituul recognition of our
need of what our catechism calls God’s “special
grace,” iu all our doings in the church of Christ,
it might inaugurate a cours of prosperity among
us more proportioned to the desires of our hearts,
and the wants of tho world. Were things so with
us we must believe it would not be too much to
look for far moro abundant olessiogthan we have
hitherto enjoyed as a church, from tho goodness
of that Divine Havior, who hath said, “Without
me you can do nothing,” and of whom Ills Apos
tie hath said, “ 1 can do all things through Christ
who strengthsneth me.”
In conformity with these sentiments, your Com
mittee would respectfully offer for the adoption
of this Church tho following resolutions, viz ■
1. Resolved, That the Church in this, its first
General Council, would solemnly recognize before
the Church universal aud tho world, a divine ob
ligation to engage in Missionary labor co-exten
sive with the limits of fallen humanity.
2. Resolved, That this Church desires specially
to recognize its obligation to provide for the spir
itual wants of thud class of our brethren who, in
the providence ot God, have been committed to
our sympathy and care by the national institution
of slavery.
3 Resolved, That while at all times a devout
rec gnition of our dependence on the Spirit of all
.grace, is proper, this lirst Council of the Church
7s a moat fitting time und place to make special
and public acknowledgment of the same; to en
courage among our members the cherishing in
increased degree, of un habitual sense of His pre
a-nee and power; and humbly and earnestly to
coni nit to llis presiding influence, the being, the
doings, and the whole future history of this
Church, to the end of the world.
The Committee propose in uddition, this cus
tomary resolution :
Resolved, That the view of tho state o( the
Church, coutained iu this report, and the accom
panying documents, be transmitted to the House
of Bishops, soliciting their prayers aud blessing,
and roque ting tha' they will draw up, and cause
to be published, a t’ustoral Lott r to the members
of this Church.
In behalf of Hie Committee,

T Sin Defence* of Wort U «'wrollu«.
rite-ii'oeut incursion ot the V aukees under
General Foster into tho interior of North Caro
lina, w.oiß to have found a clear rood, und has
made it painfull v amumrent that hut little has
been done to defend this country. We learn that
sauce this event such sense-of insecurity has per
vaded the tamds of the people of Eastern North
Oarolina, that they are now taking measn-#d to
remove their tamih s und negroes to safer locali
ties.
The valley ol the ltoanoke is said to b. equal to
any corn growing country in the world. During
the past summer the Government obtained as
many as seven hundred thousand bushels ot corn
from the plantations on the immediate banks of
the river, withiu a distance of less than forty
miles; and it is no exageration to say that more
than that quantity, oven to the extent of one mil
lion bushels ot corn, might be obtained therefrom
the ensuing winter, if that section should be pro
tected from the inroads ot the enemy.
It is not proper for us to s ate what measures
are now being taken to obstruct the Neuse, Tar
or Roanoke rivers. But we may state that the
whole summer was permitted to pass away with
out an effort to obstruct these rivers. About
three weeks ago a gunboat was commenced on
the river bank—the very time that she ought to
have been completed, if iutended for defense.
lu their recent raid into the Eastern portion ot
North Carolina, the Yankees committed the most
terrible atrocities; and it is not to be wondered
at that the people, with the terror struck into
their minds by recent events, and with but little
a-am.mce of protection in the future, arc now
abt.uJotting their homes und dying in dismay.
Thk Mkxicax Question. —The most recent advi
ces from the North state that the dispatches sub
milted by the French Legation to the Secretary
of State, acre on a subject all together d'tlereut
from that of recognition. It is not improbable that
Mexico is the immediate topic ot these mysterious
dispatches which have excited so much curiosity
amraenaatiou on the part of the Northern press
It has been ascertained that the Frenoh force in
Mexico is to be largely increased— odo source of
intelligence estimating the entire army at one hun
dred thousand. Co-operating with this, of course,
there will be a large fleet. Os these movements
great fears are expressed at the North—the Jour
nals are looking upon them with suspicion. That
such a force is necessary to compel from Mexico
complete submission to tho legitimate demands of
France, is not believed in any quarter. The coun
try is distracted—: ev civil government a mockery;
hence the speculation as whv one hundred thou
sand Frencbmeu should be dispatched to only ac
complish that which twenty five tho round Ameri
cans accomplished when Mexico was a unit, fix,
“indemnity for the past, and security for the fu
ture ” Two solutions have been announced: first,
the desire of the French to obtain a foothold on
the continent and make Mexico a province of the
Emperor second, to obtain such a foothold as to
enable t e Emperor to operrte with advantage in
intended interference in the affairs now agitating
this country. The latter appears to be the most
generally believed opinion of the >ortn. nare
the South we can only speculate upon information
received through Northern channels, and most
1 await the development of the future.— Bk <mOtui

MAJORITY REPORT.
The Committee on Confederate Relations, to
whom was referred, in connection with the Com
mittee on the State of the Republic in the House
of Representatives, so much of the Gevernor’s
Special Message as relates to the Conscription
Acts, have, as a joint committc, hud this subject
under consideratiou, and which thoy instruct me
to report as the sense of a majority of said joint
committee the following resolutions:
The General Assembly of tho State of Georgia
submit the following resolutions of fundamental
constitutional principles:
Resolved, by the General Assembly of the State
of Georgia, That tho Constitution of the Confed
erate States -is a compact between sovereign
Stutes, and that a power in the Confederate Gov
ernment to order military or naval forces from the
States by compulsion of thoir citizens without the
concurrence and ugniust the will of the States
themselves, is incompatible with both the sover
eignty aud safely of the Stutes.
Resolved, That the Confederate Government
cannot raise armies ftom the militia or arms
hearing people of the Stated by compulsion, ex
cept for the purpose of executing the laws, re
pelling invasion, or suppressing insurrection, and
then Only through requisition upon the States lor
the troops desired, leaving each State to exercise
such compulsion as may be necessary iu her own
case, and to appoint the officers for the troops
she needs.
Resolved, That ail laws passed by the Confede
rate Congress to raise armies from the arcus-bear
ing people of the Sia es by compulsion, and with
out lequisitions upon, or concurrent action of the
the States, are unconstitutional, and within oar
power to bo declared void. While Georgia makes
this declaration, Bbe also declares her willingness
and determination to furnish to the end of this
unjust and wicked war which our euemy is wag
ing upon us, us she has donefrom the beginning of
it, all just quotas of troops that may be required of
her, in a Constitutional way.
Resolved, That under the Constitution of the
Confederate States, uud the laws of this State, all
the troops which Gefirgia has sent to the field
under requisitions from the Confederate Govern
ment, have the right to elect the officers who are
to command them,and that the laws of Congress
which deny or impair this right are unconstitu
tional, and in our power to be declared void.
Resolved, That while the foregoing resolutions
express our fixed convictions, we are still willing
to leave the Conscript acts undisturbed in their
operations, reservin ' io the State and her people
such rightful re nedies as may be demanded by
future emergencies.

Itlesssf;!'.of t.ov, Vance, of North t’ai
r olina.
The me; vug'* if Gov. Vance was transmitted tji_
Uu? Leg.- itfc wjsiuimn fill Aire TstE
inst. The, message contains many practical sug
gestions, and evinces a patriotic desire to main
tain the dignity and honor of the Slate. The war
is looked upon as the subject of first importance
by the Governor, and especial reference is made
to the present defenceless condition of Eastern
North Carolina, ami that portion ot the State
along the scaboanf. To a;d in tbe deiencr of tins
portion of the State, novv threatened by, and
partially in possession of, the euemy, it is re
commended that a Stale roscive of at least ten
regiments be raised, to be accepted for three or
four mouths, and discharged in time to plant their
crops in tbs spring. 'This force, auxiliary to the
Confederate troops, it is thought would be nbie
to prevent an advance ol the enemy into tho in
terior, and whilst subsisting upon tho abundant
supplies of the Eastern counties, could benefit the
whole State by aiding in withdrawing vast quan-
tities of provisions from exposed points.
Next in importance to the defence of the Slate
against the public enemy, the Governor regards
the defence of the people against extortion and
starvation. He criticises severely the speculation
and extortion which the war has developed, and al
ludes to the suffering it must produce among the
poorer classes of the Slate, uulese arrested. lie
recommends that flic Legislature take immediate
steps to prevent the exportation of salt, leather,
shoes, woolen cloth, cottoa cloth, yum, pork, and
bacon, flour aud potatoes —except tor the army
and by regular agents of the Government, and ex
cept when purchased by any c maty and corpo
rate authorities of sister Stales, under such regu
lations as will amount to satisfactory proof that
such articles are forjpr.vate use, or charitable dis
tribution to the poor o! such counties, towns, Ac.,
and not for spec Ration not, however, in violation
of any ei-isting contracts made with citizens of
other States.
Asa means of relief for, and to provide against
tne possible suffering of the wives and children of
soldiers, the purchase and storing, at some safe
point in the interior, of at least two hundred .hou
saad bushels of corn and five hundred thousand
pounds ol pork, to Sic sol;! t’ fhem at rates sufli
eieut to cover the cost, tranaportotiou, &c., ia
earnestly recommended. These supplies, it is
stated, can now bo purchased in the eastern coun
ties at moderate prices. Anticipating the necessi
tv of such n measure, the Governor announces
iuiit he has already ordered the building of large
cribs on tho North Carolina Rnilror.-", and ni&do
other preliminary arrungauiouta for purchasing
on a largo scale.
The prospect of obtaining cotton cloths at rea
sonable rates is represented to lie hotter than it
has been. The stockholders of the largest and
most enterprising manufacturing company in the
State have agreed to sell all their productions at
75 per cent, upon.coot which will reduce tho price
about one half, and some t-sven or eight other
companies have intimated an intention of follow
ing thoir example. The woolen manufacturers
are more incorrigible. Some of them when asked
to furnish thoir goods >175 per cent, declined en
tirely, end Other.! agree so do BO by fixing enor
mous profits ou tho cost of the raw material, und
then adding the 75 per cunt, oo the finished i.iti
ole, making their profits greater Hum before.
These are recommended to the tender merries of
the Legislature.
In r< lutfoa to ordutuqu sUnhi. Ilia Governor
states that, uuder au act of tho Legislature, a con
tract has been made with a firm, and that they
have erected powder mills, aad are now nearly
ready to begin operut ous on a sea'e sufficient to
make about 4,000 pounds per week. Tho Confed
erate States will furnish the mills with about 3,C00
pounds of nitre per week. The department has
contracted with manufacturers in the State for 300
new 11 tie: per month, and i is hoped the depart
ment will soon be able to keep on hand a supply
for five thousand men.
The finances of the State next claim the Gov
ernor’s consideration. The debt of the State is
put down in round uumbersut $'<20,083,361 01, and
the receipts from taxes for the year 1802 wore
15,763 3‘J. In order to meet the interest on the <
public debt, and to make up tho -sum due from
counties wht-ro tho tax could not be collected on
account of the presence o!' the euemy, au increase
of at least 25 per cent, on the present amount of
taxution in recommended. Tho Governor also re
commends that a tax of 25 per cent bo laid upon
the nett profits of ali persona who have, (luring
the present year, speculated in the necessaries of
life, such as corn, bacon, pork, shoes, leather,
cotton cloth, yarn, and woolen goods, to be con
tinued during' the next year or longer, if necessa
ry ; the proceeds to he applied to the support of
the wives and children or widows of soldier whose
property, a3 listed on the tax hooks, shall be be
low a certain sum. lie is clearly of the opinion
that no more Treasury notes should be issued, if it
be possible to avoid it.
The right of the State Authorities to commis
sion the officers of the regiments origins lly raised
for the war is claimed by the Governor. But the
Confederate authorities claim the right to com
mission the regiments of twelve months’ men
continued in service by the conscript law, and
also all regiments whatsoever raised, since the
law went into operation. In ail cases tho Confed
erate authorities had claimed ta commission ana
and appoint all regimental and staff offierrs. even
when they had conceded to the Executive of the
State the appointment of the officers of the line
He had called in person ,o seo tho President, to
remedy this confusion aud to avoid conflict, who
promised to take the opinion of his Attorney-Gen
eral on the subject at length, but that opinion the
Governor has not seen. The matter is submitted
to the Legislature, with the recommendation that
they lake such steps a: will preserve the rights
and honor of the State.
He recommends that the existing prohibition
against the distillation of spirits from all kinds of
grain be continued during the war, upon the
ground that there is no grain to spare for such
purpose!-, and all the medical needs of Ihe country
and army can be abundantly supplied by the
liquors made from the fruit crop. Also recom
mends that a law be passed for the rigid punish
ment of all persons who may be convicted of
speculating in any of the necessaries of life under
the false pretence of being Government agents.
In conclusion, the Governor earnestly urges
upon the Legislature the vita! importance ol bring
ing lorth all the powers and resources of the State
for the common defence of the country and the
cause, and says that the two great dangers we
have to meet will bo found concocted with our
currency and supplies for our army. He appeals
to them to remember that they are laboring for
the very salvation of the people. The bitter cup
that our captured cities and districts have had to
drink is cited, to show the mercy to be expected
f our abolition foes overcome us.

An Impregnable Post Hole. —A Loudon paper
says that .visitors to the National Exhibition will
see in the naval department a small gun on a
traversing carriage, which is intended to show a
new mode cf filling the aperture of a port hole
with a revolving shield. Tho gnn goes through
a bail or spherical revolver. This revolver moves
on axles, and allows the gun to be turned in
every direction ; and which ver way tho gun is
pointed, whether elevat.-d, depressed, or after
forward, thei eis no opening disclosed for the
entry of a minie ballet. When the shot is dis
charged the gun recoils, an i thr revolver turns,
and presents a closed appearance to the exterior.
This plan permits ports to hem ide larger, and
guns can be so depressed as to fire into a vessel

have much fine to tarry, as a force of infantry

succeeded in jutting tbe river between them and

Wednesday ias come and gone, and I* redericks
burg still stams. Early in the forenoon batteries
wore planted ts tho hills from Falmouth down to
the lower ferry ou Bray’s farm, a distance of over
a mite, and tblratcning to each and every part of
the town. Thi hills at no point are scarcely as
much as a quutcr of a mile from our first streets
on the bank oflae river, so that the proximity is
intensely interkting. Gur citizens, for the most
part, take it as a joke that may be carried too far,
and others dont see much about it to laugh at.-
During the aftetioon tho impression prevailed that
tho enemy won embarking iu lbe vicinity of
Aquia crook, tin Potomac river being reported is
full of transport.

ntf ” were the inquiries tha' passed among the
louugcrs at tin- corners of tho streets. The firing
was from the hi Aery on the very high hilt ou the
lir .-y farm, whfch overlooks the country tor ules
around. Then may hme been a cavalry camp
discovered on mis sido, or it uiay have been to
empty tho gnat in consequence of the rains during
the night; hut as wc have-not beeu informed, and
fear it wo crossed over to inquire we might foi-i,

conjeoture. Indeed, it might he cruel to destroy,
some people’s conjectures Dy giving them the real
object of tho tiring; but i‘. - Vwb.eti- uid that the
“wood train” was fired at liiten&'lcft the railroad
depot to go down the road.
A‘large foraging party went down the river
road into Stafford, and will probably continue its
depredations into Ein' George. The train con
sisted of 175 wagons, and hud with it four pieces
of artillery, two infantry and (wo cavalry compa
nies. There could not well have been a more din

The writdr in the Herald, writing later tin. lh;.
above, says:
That the army in front has beeu of large pro
portions wc have no reason to doubt, hut many
facttfto esiablish; but, at tho same time, wi am
impressed with tho conviction that this decided
demonstration is a feint, and that Gen. liuiv. ide
concluded that he could do this and yet lose but
little, if uiy, time in ombarkiug his army at points
along the Potomac—Acquia creek and Potomac
creek for the real point of attack on Richmond.
The main column tor this attack will, wc believe,
move via Suffolk, and probably lesser columns
from other points.
On Tuesday and Wednesday tho Potomac over
was covered with vessels of ait sizes and kinds,
mainly «f the transport order. That these vessels
were intended to carry off the army is an opinion
entertaiced by many. Enough of the army will
be left over tho river though to “keep up appear
ances.” We Bhall not be surprised ifby Saturday
night tha main balk ot Burnside’s force is weft ou
its way to their new destination, though of et tree
this is a sonjucture to a great extent Wo un :cr
stand that Federal prisoners captured, estimate
their numbers at over 10,000, but w doubt the
figures. .
The Confederate force here is under officer m
whom «tir people can well afford to repose > usd
and l.i« the battle here or remote, there is not rise
to fear the result.
We deem it hut propel to hay that others infer
with us in regard to Gen. Burnside’s movem Mils,
and insist that this will he tho base of big opera
tions.
Ot course, uuder this impression, many fan'::lies
have left town and others are leaving.

Wohov? before us tbe Anuuni -Report el the
Principal Keeper of tbe Penitentiary ol Ge* r.-ia,
from which we are pleased to see that the insti
tution, so long a heavy expense to the State,
waa, the past fiiscul year, as daring the previous
one, under ihe able supervision of Gen, Green, a
paying institution. From the l.eport, we gather
the foilowin itemß;
The nett profit of the earnings o! the Peniten
tiary the past fiscal year, ending on Hie 30tb Sep
tember last, are *27,474 74. Os this amount,
*IO,OOO 00 have been paid into the State Treasury,
leaving a balance on hand of *17,474 74, for (be
purpose of purchasing provisions for the convicts,
and raw material to be manufactured into poods,
the present fiscal year. Tho assets now on hand
amount to *60,777 96, with goods also on hand
amounting to *21,509 10. These goods consist of
cak, poplor, and pine lumber, steel, oils, some
manufactured goods, other needful articles for
manufacturing purposes, with 9000 pounds oi
bacon, for the u-:e of convicts.
Os provisions, live stock,-tools aud other prop
erty belongin g to the Penitentiary, the Principal
Keeper also reports in the aggregate the sum of
£10,204 70 as their estimated value,
On the Ist of October ISOI, the number oi male
convicts in the Penitentiary 210—female eonviats
4; in all 214. Since that period 27 male convicts
have been received, and one female ; in all 28—
making the aggregate up to the first of last Octo
ber 242. Os these 27 have been pardoned by the
by the Governor, 1 by the President of the Con
federate States, discharged 21, escaped 1, died 4,
in all 54, leaving at the date of the report 168 still
within the walls of that institution. Os the con
victs now remaining in the Penitentiary 17 are
there for forgery, 24 for larceny from the house,
43 for simple larceny, 2 for voluntary man
slaughter, 10 for assault to murder, 7 for burglary
5 for murder, 2 for perjury, and the remainder
for various misdemeanors and crimes.
In the Pbysiciun’s Report, we notice that the
diseases prevailing in the Institution, “have been
those usually prevailing in the surrounding coun
try, but the per oent. of disease has been very
much higher than with the same number of popu
lation outside of the Institution.” Some very ex
tensive improvements have been made in the In
stitution during the past year. Appended to the
report are several interesting tables.— Atlanta

picked up on the railroad track near Opelika, and

th - truth about that boulder of salt ; poils so plea
sant a report an dissipates alt the encouraging
anticipations based upon it. Weunderstand that
it was a solitary lamp of rock salt, and that it was
probably dropped from the c irs while in transit —

steamer, under contrac. by-Messrs. 1 George &

power, of a model so U-xt .that she is c..tmlntel
to draw but 15 feet of water; built wu- v rs iron,
her frame iuclu.it and; . ud with a plating i’J iacho3
thick, of which 4J,. 2 inches are iron, and t’ . rest
solid teak.
This vessel is said to be for some foreign gov

government there is no reason why there should
he any mystery about her. But although no effort
i made to hide the (acts about any ether vessel,
li ie is generally known of this one, und inforixia*
ti i like that we give was obtained with difficulty.
A nan-of-war is commonly named when her keel

I , number in the yard. Her frame Is about half

extortion will '-all short. The deficiency must be
supplied by the people. Wo shall have cn active
winter campaign, arid how can our troops, if rag
ged, cold and barefoot, contend with the splend
idly equipped columns of the enemy ?
The articles most needed, slid which the BtaiC
find it most difficult to supply, are shoes, socks
and blankets, though drawers, shirts and pants,
would be giadly received. H every iumicr who
has hides tanning would agree to spare one pair
of shoes, and if ever mother would knit- '..lie

And now, my country men and women, if you
have anything to spare for the soidiei ,in bis name
I appeal to you for it. Do not let tho speculator
have it, though ho offer you enormous prices;
tparn him fron your door, and say to him thut
our brave defenders have need for it, and shall
have it without passing through his greedy fin
gers. Do not place yourselves among the extor
tioners—they are the vilest and most cowardly
of Jtll onr country’s enemies, and when this war is
ended, and people come to view the mutter in its
proper light you will find that the most detested
tories are more respected than they. When they
tempt you with higher prices than the State offers,
just think for a moment of the soldier and what
ae is doing for you, Remember, when you ait

The U. S. Consul at the liio Grande tie Sul, Bra

very interesting communication from Dr. ti. Lau

Dissolve the vaccine that in couiaiued iu a scab
on a pair of plates ora capillary lubo.whurb isabour,
four or si x ounces of cold water, and give to the
patient u table-spoonful every ty. o or three hours.
The favorable result of this exhibition n , that
it mitigates the symptoms, modifies the species,
and cures the small pox. .
I recognize that as vaccine applied xieinally
prevents the Small pox, so, also, being taken in
wardly, in the manner above indicated, itv .ceres
quickly and efficaciously the small pox in ail its
stages.
Under its use, the fover, the deli, mm, the
hoarseness, diarrhea, pneumonia, cerebral con
gestion, and, finally, Uae secondary (ever disap
pear.
Beginning the traulment on the second or third
day of the eruption, the sinail pox becomes as
varicella or varioloid; although the epiderm is
thickened and in a state of congestion, and ia
five days becomes dry without, suppuration.
Applying the same treatment ou the fourth or
fifth day of the eruption, the small pox become as
if they were the true vaccine ; till aud dry in tho
space of ten days, with suppuration.
Considering then that the vesicles and pustules
ought to be opened, for two or three times, al
ways that they contain any liquid, and beginuinc
the third day to prevent the secondary fever. 1
have had since 1842 more, than thirty cases, amt
in fourteen paid particular uttant'on ; there were
three severe confluent cases, and eleven lens so
vere, although distinct.
Since 1 had recur .: to this treatment, 1 have
uot lost a single patient by the small pox. At my
request, some of my colleagues art usirg this sys
tem, and they, as well as 1 have rouped the most
most fluttering results.
These effects are superior to my expectation,
and even to my comprehension ; in fact, the vac
cine neutralizes tho variolic virus, or one n orbid
action destroys tho effects of another. By (his
treatment 1 have seen disuppear tho fever, deliri
um, hoarseness, diarrhea, pneumonia, cerebral
congestion, and the secondary fever.
It may be mentioned hero that tho use of emol
lient clysters or castor oil internally, to keep the
bowels loose, and in children c.iomol, i., very
necessary, as also gargles of nitrate of silver and
chloruret of lime.
After the fifth day give baths of warm .water,
with a little chlornate of lime, or ohlorurctofsoda,
or sponge the body,
Aieo have given- vaccine inwardly as a ther
apeutic remedy in hooping cough, and with bene
fit pin some cases the hoop or convulsion congh
disappeared in ten hours, only a simple
cough, which extinguishes in Tour or twelve days

intensitng Estimate ou Corn :>ui>i>Sy.
The following estimates, made by Messrs. Har
ris and Eehoia, in the .Senate, while the bill to
prevent distillation wns aider discussion, on Fri
day, will he road with interest, especially by those
iaierc.ited in im price i* ..•tin :
Mr. Harris estimated the amount of corn raised
in tho various counties, at ten bushels to the aero,
at 42,500,000 bushels. The amount of small gr-foi
on the 1,340,517 acres returned at the Ootttptrofier
General’s office, estimating five bushels to 'the
1 a3re, at 7,746,585 bushels, equ valent to corn,
making the total supply of com, 50,246,535 bush
‘els. fiu.mber otfoepses lojffow and saw tho tisufie
her of horses owned by tho 1915 profe-sionals,
3,830; all other horses, 25 per cent, on the above,
33,455, making a total of-107,267 horses. To iced
these, at 65 bushels each, would require 10,572,355
bushels. To feed the 1,100,000 inhabitants at 13
bushels each, would require 14,300,000 bushels;
to feed and fatten hogs necessary to feed the peo
ple, estimating 150 pounds to each person, and
8 bushels of corn to each hundred pounds of meat
would require 18,200,000 bushels, making a total
required lor feeding tho people, and stock, 38,372,-
355. Deduct this from the corn crop alone, 42,-
500,000, and we have a surplus o' 4,127,645 bush
els. Add the grain tor 1863,7,746,585 bushels, and
we have 11,874,230 bushels foi the Confederate
Government for distiiatiou, exportalion or waste.
This docs not take into account the pea imd pota
foe crop, or the amount oi meat which may be
i made from swill at the distilleries, which Mr. Gar
! ria did not include in food for hogs.
Mr. Echols thought the figures of Mr. Harris
entirely too high, and made the following esti
mates, 4,009,080 acres at eight bushels per acre, will
produce 37, 072,640 bushels; an allowance of 12>£
bushels for the entire population (1,565,880) will
require 13,194,227 bushels, horses, estimating one
to every four of the population —263,884 —wilt re
quire, at 60 bushels each, 15,888,040 bushels; hogs
527,769, estimating one to two of t e population,
will require for feeding ana fattening 20 bushels,
making 10,555,330 bushels; then the allowance
for distillers for' the 2,000,000 gallons desired, 1-
250,000! bushels, and we have a total want for pop
ulation, horses, hogs, and disiillation, 40,882,647
bushels, or 8,810,007 more than the total produc
tion of the State, and nearly a million of bushels
more than the total production as estimated by
Mr. Hetvrad.
These figures—by two intelligent planters, differ
very widely, and lead to vary contradictory con
clusions. They are worthy of attention, as repre

Gainesville, Va., November 10.—The court
martial now sitting brings out the facts ot the
atroefous conduct of the staff and other officers m
the burning of Haymarket, Va., in such a manner,
that to “ mit Siegle,” a town will hereafter be a
word of terror to all. The work was done under
the direction of a Lieutenant and a Count, both
connected with the staff. They claim to have had
authority, which however, does not appear. The
former, with an orderly and some soldiers,
went into a shed, and spilt ami prepared the kind
lings for burning the houses. Ail protestations
on the part of the women and children (for snc'i
only, with a few old men , were left in the village,)
were unheeded. Tim fires were set in various

whose child was very ill, begged that the house
might be spared Her plea, if unintelligible in

SENATE.
jh - bill to authorize Beriah.Pve to issueebauj i
bills was, at the earnest appeal 'oi Mr. Pinkarv ,
reconsidered; also a local bill tor ifio relief (of
Certain securities.
The report of the conference committee on th
resolutions authorizing the seizure olfactories, Ac „
tvas taken up and concurred in. The oommitte i
agreed to retain the House amendment fixin
jiT-.ces to be paid with this clause—“or a reasonc
ole profit on the cost oi production, and also pro •
viding that the Governor shall not interfere with
Confederate contracts already made.”
A resolution by Mr. Parlow, instructed the ag
ricultural committee to report a bill to upiuioi a
State Geologist was taken up aud passed. Tho
importance of this measure will be conceded by
every intelligent citizen of the State. The failure,
or partiaTfailhro of the previous attempts to ac
obinpliph the object of a thorough survey, should
not prevent n libera , -fort lor the accomplishment
pi the \v*rk now. Un'.old rescuers of wqatth an,l
power lie buried in the,.bosom of. the caill,,
AAcowf't tfaiit'trr tfiypi
nres. It is second in importance euly to questions
directly counectcd with the prosecution ol tho war.
A bill by Mr. Moseley, to prevent and punish
extortion, was ;eada first time. It lives prices at
a peao slaudard—a manifest absurdity umfer the
pres ut Condition of our citrren y.
The uufinisb, and bill to authorize th >
appoiuiincnt of a Quartermaster and nssislanW to
iitoud to tire wants an.! claims of Georgia soldiers,
u Richmond was discussed for some time, and
laid ou the table to await action on a bill propos
ing r, similar officer, in couuection with the Ke'io
and Hospital Association. The discussion jjrais-d
tho ghost of conscription and State Rights, iu
which iiiessr . iir .wn, Ilansell, Seward and Gor -
don favored the bill, and Gibson, Lewis aud Fttr
iow opposed it, or ; ought to make :t apply only to
men not subject to conscription.
A bill in "relation te lapsed legacies was debated
by several legal members, and lost.
Mr. Kiilen, from the military Committee re-
ported a resolution authorizing the Governor to
call into service two regiments of infantry, to
guard bridges Ac. Messrs Killeu and Ilansell
sustained the resolution. Mr. Lewis moved to lay
i on the table until the bill enlarging the militia
s acted upon. Judge Gibson sustained the
motion, and urged the danger of contlict between
(heState and Confederate authorities. Gon. Han -
sell tliorfght the;-.: • .u'.d be no conflict, as the
State had control over her militia until they are
enrolled. North Calolina, he urged has 10,000
State troops, South Carolina 8,000 and nobody
:-.d any idea the Confederate authorities would
interfere with them. Judge Gibson was willin',
for the Governor to call out 2,5, or 10 tliousaud
militia, but we-ought to guard against any in
terference with those subject to conscription.
Mr Gordon favored the resolution. Tbe State
had thfi right to call out her militia, and to deny
it was to make her the slave of central power.—
Mr; Seward did not believe Georgiri could create a
militia outside that prescribed by Gongros;,
between the ages of 19 and 15. He did uot fear
a conflict, or favor airy resistance to thr
conscript law. Would bo for impeaching
the Governor, if he attemuted to hold tho mili
tia against the law. Mr. M'osely, in refererence
to objections by Ju 1. c Gibsoit, against hurrying
through a measure of such inij:ortance, by resolu
tion, thought it constitutional to effect the object
without the routine of a bill to be read on three
Separate days. We could puss even a _ bill
on a first reading, in case of invasion. Mr. A. J.
