The President’* Proclamation.
Tho Proclamation of President Davis
setting apart Thursday the 18th in9t. as
a day of thanksgiving and prayer by the
people of the Confederate States will
command approving atfention- Let our

Allwise Governor of the Universe for
blessings vouchsafed to nn infant govern
ment.
What the Timm Sayi.
The latest London Times received has
an editorial combatting and denying all
of Mr. Seward’s promises in his last dis
patch to Mr. Adams, and dissenting from
his conclusions. It reiterates its argu
ments against any intcrfcronco, and pro
claims that England is no obstacle in the
way of peaco. Tho true obstacle, it says,
is to be found in those who stimulate the
passions thoy ought to allay, and urge
on with all their might tho catastrophe
which they dearly forcsoo, ancl arc yet
able to prevent.
Conscription.
All agree that tho nows from our ar
mies is ohecring—that tho Confederacy
is beginning to make its power felt—
that our late series of victories are bril
liant—that our government and military
loaders are beginning to oatch tho inspi
ration of a spirited and determined peo
pie, and that our successes point to a
happy and honorable futuro. Do all
agree as to the means which havo brought
about these happy results ? Yes, all are
ready to spoak at once and say it is bo
oauso our nrmics havo abandoned tho
defensive, and taken up the oppressive
policy. Very well; there is no disagree
ment so far; but how wero our military
loaders enabled to assume tho aggressive,
and drive the cowering myriads of sub- i
jugatioii boforo them ? Does not evory
man, who possesses a memory- of ordi
nary tenacity, remember the forlorn con
dition of our army in February last,
when it was known that tho term of en
listment of nearly one half our army
would expire in tho May following, and
that an army of half a million hiroling
Yankees wore to be hurled upon our de
fenceless homes? Surely no ono has
forgotton tho frightful pall that over
spread our laud in couscqucnco of this
sad state of affairs. Now what saved
us ? Was it not tho pasiage of tho much
abused Conscription Aot ? What man of
sense will not admit that it was. Then
if wo owo our salvation to tho Conscrip
tion Aot, what is it that prompts certain
parties to persist iu its denunciation ?
Is it patriotism that dictates such a cru
sade ? Is it the abstract thoory of
“States’ Rights” worth more than the
right to haro States ? Are tho sensibil
ities of oertain politicians so very fine
that they must bo “respected” even at the
hazard of losing our freedom? If so, our
Congress perpetrated a grave error in
giving our Generals the means of obtain
ing their present favorable positions. If
not, then for Heaven’s sake let us hear
no more about tho “assumption” of that
body in passing th« Conscript law, and
let the abstract thoories of “States’
Rights” be waivod for something practical
—even though it be at Iho expense of a
little woundod vauity, and should foil
tho plane of thoso who would seek to
organize political parties at a timo when
all interna! divisions are ignored by the
people.
Georgia Guard*—l7 tlx (ia.lUglmeut.
From a letter written by Capt. QiiUiu
ger to his father, published iu the Times,
we make tho following oxtraot:
Our regiment wont into (ho fight with
nine companies—just 242 men, and lost
in killed and wounded 101. My compn
ny went into tho fight with 24 won, and
camo out with 17 —ono killed and six
wounded.
Killed.— sth Sergeant J. 15. Aguero
Wounded. —lst Sergeant R. M. Clark,
2d Sergeant J. A. Hogue, Private* Rich
ard Farlee, Tom McDonald, Perry Rye,
Thos. Holliman.
All are doing well, and will bo tit for
duty in a week or two. This fight oc
curred uoar Manassas on Saturday about
noon, and lasted until about 8 o’clock
that night. Loss on our side about 2,600.
That of the enemy 10,000.
Arreatetl,
The Selma (Ala.) Sentinel says, a Jew
by the name of Isaac Adler was arrested
in that city on Monday last, and is now
hold in custody, for passing counterfeit
Confederate notes. It seems that this
man Adler has been figuring quite ex
tensively recently in the way of buying
cotton, and by that means has flooded
the country with tho bills. He states
that he obtained the bills from the Cen
tral Bank in Montgomery. It is time
the public were watching these fellows
that run the blockade to Nashvillo so
often.
Two hundred and forty-seven political
prisoners were sent from the Gratriot
street prison, St. Louis, a few days ago,
to Alton, Illinois.
Tlic l*ro*pecta of Peace.
The f rtunes of war havo signally
turned in our favor' within the last three
months, and we certainly have abundant
reasons for rejoicing. But we fearsome j
of our exchanges are too aangiuein their
expectations of early negotiations of j
peace, and that they are raising hopes ■
which ita.mu »ud experivuoe Jo not war- |
rant, aud which will, be doomed to ,lts- j
appointment
Os course we can but hope that their j
most sanguine expectations will bo real
ized, and that the noble efforts of our
brave troops will ere long be crowned
with an honorable peace, resulting in
our complete independence, political and
commercial, and that we may forever re .
muin two distinct nations as we are now
two distinct peoples. But it is extreme
ly doubtful whether the time has yet
come for negotiations upon such a basis.
When wo consider the nature and con
dition of the party in power at the North
—that it has absolute control of the gov
ernment—that it controls all the patron
age, credit and resources of the old gov
ernment—that it possesses one of the
largest and best equipped navies in the
world, that millions have alroady been
appropriated to make this navy still lar
gcr and more complete, that it holds pos
session of our entire sea coast and in
fests many of our navigable rivers—that
it controls a territory containing abun
daut supplies and over a million of arms
bearing population subject to draft not
yet in the field, aud that it has every
thing to gain and but little to lose by a
further prosecution of this inhuman cru
sade against us, we cannot reasonably
expect it to offer negotiations of peace
upon the basis of separation at the pres
ent stage of tho game. Moreover, tho
late policy of Mr. Lincoln relative to tho
emancipation schemes of his party, we
think, clearly foreshadows anything but
negotiations of peaco. A rigorous ad
htrenco to his emancipation policy would
have lost him tho border Slates. 110 did
not fail to see this. Hence he recanted
his policy to some extent, re-assumed his
“conservation Union” colors, and issued
his call for 1100,000 volunteers, backed
by a draft of an additional 800,000.
Thin call will exhaust the border States
of all the fighting force he ean hope to
reocivo from them. This done, what
next? The volunteer forces from these
States, induced to join his standard by
his show of conservatism, having been
fastened down by rigorous military discip
line, his mission of “conservatism” will
have been ended ; and haviugnb further
favors to ask from that quarter, he can
readily address himself to the more
pleasing task of appeasing his ultra ab
olition brethren. This ho can easily ac
complish by declaring universal emanci
pation and authorizing tho ro organiza
tion of negro brigades. That this will
bo his policy, wc havo not the remotest
doubt. In fact, it is oioariy foresDail
owed in Mr. Seward’s letter of the 28th
May last, written for the eye of Lord
Russell, and with the striot injunction
that it should not be made public. Again,
Mr. Lincoln’s late letter to the N. York
Tribune, in reply to one addressed him
by Mr. Oreoley through the samo souroe
in bohalf of the “twenty million,” point
ed so clearly to this polioy that it has
had the effeot to silence Greeley’s fulmi
nations and appease tho “twenty mil
lions.” All Abolitiondom, with perhaps
a few exceptions, is once more harmo
nious in its clamor for Southern blood.
At the North, and throughout the North
Host, tho the abolition party is supreme. —
Should any one dare raise his voice
against the policy of the Administration
and denounce the corrupt party to whioh
it belongs, tho huo and cry of “disloy
alty” is forthwith raised against him,
and his voice is hushed in the silent dun
geons of the llastile.
We can expeot nothing, therefore, but
from the invinoiblo valor of our troops,
the self-sacrificing spirit of our people,
and the favor of a juatOmuisoienco. To
these are wo indebted for our present fa
vorablo position; but our position, though
favorable, is uot such as will command
immediate peace-—we are, like Paul
Jones, “just getting ready to fight,” and
we should rather address ourselves to
the vigorous prosecution of the war by
following up our advantages aud con
quering a peace based upon the uncondi
tional recognition of our independence,
than to manifest any disposition “to
eatch at straws,” and foster hopes whioh
we are not yet prepared to realize.
Tlie Confederate War Steamer at
Mobile.
The Augusta and Atlanta papers pub
lish a despatch from Mobile, announcing
the arrival of “an iron-clnd man of war”
at ihnt port. The statement is incorrect
A special correspondent at Mobile fur
nishes us with some authentio informa
tion iu regard to the arrival referred to.
The vessel is the steam corvette Oveto
now called the Florida, and is not iron
clad. Our readers are aware of the
difficulties which the oommander of this
ship enoountered at Nassau, owing to the
rigor of the British neutrality regula
tions. Having finally escaped from the
clutches of tho Court of Admiralty, Capt.
Maffit steamed away to the Gulf and
boldly ran the gauntlet of the block’aders
at the mouth of Mobile Bay. in broad
daylight, on the 4th iust. Tho captain
was at tho time sick with fever, as was
most of her small crew of thirteen men.
The Florida ran within sixty yards of
the Yankee vessels, and her sides are
peppered all over with shrapnel and
grape shot. One eleven inch shell went
through her side a foot above the water
line, and lodged in the “coal bunkers.”
Tho Florida is a beautiful and well
armed corvette of great speed. Iler
armament consists of eight guns. Her
dash through the blockaders, with a sick
crew of only thirteen men, iu broad day*
light, is one of the most daring naval
exploits of the war. The Florida did not
fire a shot, as her crew were unable to
man even a single gun. She had one j
killed and two wounded. She now lies I
below the city in quarantine Ch. Mer- I
cury.
from Middle Ttaaeiiee.
A r orrespondent of the Chattanooga
Rebel writing from Winchester, Sept. 6th,
says:
It is absolutely certain that Buell’s
whole force is beyond Murfreesboro’. —
A courier was taken in North Alabama
a day or two ago bearing dispatches
from Buell to Roaencranz. urging the
latter to join the former at Nashville
with all possible speed.
Neatly all of Middle itunecsee is now
tree, aud oh, how free. Let all the
refugees come home, they never saw
anything to equal it. The old men are
meeting and exchanging pleasant sulu
tations, the young aud middle aged are
all with joy preparing to go into the
fight. All round we hear of organiza
tions. The women G.l Mess them, are
shouting happy. E?ei;, man, woman
and child is in ecstacies it seeing our
insolent foes eat up their own worde of
vain boasting, and fly before our advanc
ing army like dogs. Nine but those
who have felt it know what Middle Tens
nessee has suffered.
The world never will know; no his
torian will be able to write it; high
heaven can only record it against that
nation of infidel thieves. From 9 o’clock
a. m. to 4 o’clock p. m. were the hours
given by the officere to the men to rob
and insult all the citizens. During
these hours all the citizens in the country
were daily visitod by a rabble soldiery—
dashing into the kitchens, spring houses,
barns, and out-houses, taking bread out
of the oven, meal, flour, meat, butter
milk, &c., &c ; killing sheep, ducks,
geese aud chickens; with no regard to
age or sex; insulting the women in the
most shocking terms if a word was in
terposed. Many houses were burnt.—
One poor woman who had no power of
protectiou and no male friend near, had
her house burnt down before her eyes,
while she implored the fiends to spare
her a shelter from the storm, because
her Lusband was in the army.
All tho negro men in the country were
pressed to work on breastworks. While
there they told them that tho Southern
soldiers wore going to shoot all the ne
groes who had worked for them, and that
their only safety was in going off; by
this means they got many who would
havo run. away and gone home They
promised them eight dollars a mouth in
gold. F.very day tho negroes, women
and men, were openly importuned and
bogged to leave their masters and go with
them. All the intelligent negroes, who
were not known to be rascals, became f hor
oughly disgusted with them, and many
went and hid in the woods until they
wore gone. The truth is there is com
parison between our negroes generally
and the Yankees who compose the army.
The negroes are infinitely their supe
riors in morals and religion, and in fact
in all the elements of civilization. Many
women with young children were taken,
and suoh was the alarm of the cowardly
mob that before they got to Shelbyville
they were abusing tho women and chil
dren with curses; even at a spring by
the road denying them time to get water,
while they oried mast piteously for it.
All accounts agree that this army is
completely demoralized—-the new issue
and change of policy as well as the thiev
ing and pilfering which is permitted, has
done the work for this army. I thick
the women of Franklin county cun eati
iijr wtiip 0,000 or teem taken indiscrimi

“Hermes,” the Richmond correspon
dent of the Charleston Mercury, says :
A great deal of money has been .made
here by worthless wretches, who, by
hook or by crook, managed to get authori
ty to raise companies. Forthwith they ad
vertised to take substitutes, and the sub
stitutes poured in, roooived a half or a
third of the money paid for them, left
the rest in the villain Captain’s hands,
to be paid after getting into camp. This
done, the substitutes went their ways,
sold themselves to other parties, the vil
lain Captain’s company never went
into camp, and so thousands on thou
sands of dollars have been made. Some
of these villain-Captains are now deoora
tod with ball and chain in Castle Thun
der, the new military prison, but others
are off to parts unknown.
Wbnt Prentice Says.
A late number of the Louisville Jour
nal oontains the following paragraph :
“We learn by despatches from Rich
mond and Lexington that our soil has
again been invaded by the rebel soldiery.
A force of from 2,000 to 3,000 advanced
upon Richmoud, Madison county, yester
day, and took possession of the place,
the loaders announcing their intention to
move upon Lexington, entertaining de
signs, no doubt, upon Frankfort. Rich
mond is but 25 miles distant from Lex
ington. We also have an intimation that
this advanoo of two or three thousand is
backed by a large force at Somerset and
’ London, which will doubtless culminate
at some convenient point for offensive
operations. It Joes not become us to
make public the plaus of our military
authorities iu view of those extraordinary
movements on the part of the enemy,
but we trust they have availed themselves
of the ample means at their disposal not
only to defend the Slate, but to promptly
expel the insolent foe from its borders.”
A distinction must be taken, says the
Richmond Whig, between the British
Government and the British people.—
While tho prejudices of the Government
are against us, the sympathies of the
masses are with us This is to bo infer
red from the tone of tho British press,
and her Statesmen disconnected with the
Government. It is true, that out of an
abundant caution, they will give Lord
Palmerston the timo ho asks ; but, soon
er or later, however reluctantly, the
sense of the British public, and the valor
of S.outhorn troops, will foroe from him
recognition or resignation.
Rumor.
A correspondent of the Mobile Regis
ter writing from Tupelo Sept. Btb, says ;
A rumor is currant to Jay, whioh I
have traced to a gentleman who has to
day arrived from Memphis, that that
place is being evacuated by the inva
ders. This, is probably true, as it is
evidently the intention of the Y'ankces to
retire upon the old base of operations
held by them a year ago—Cairo, Louiss
villa and Alexandria. Whether they
will bo able to maintain this original
baso, we will soon know.
A Ueaiou for Surrendering.
A dispatch from Louisville, giving an
account of the affair near Gallatin, says
that Gen. R. W. Johnson surrendered
“because his force, numbering about
7,000, after fighting bravely for some
time, became unmanageable, and finally
ran.” Now tell us why they ran ? j

Mobile, Sept. 10 —A special dispatch
to the Advertiser, from Jacksoti, dated
the 9th, says the Essex has gone below
Baton Rouge. Reliable information from
parties there, who escaped from New
Orleans, say the yellow fever prevails
amoDg the Yankee troops in that city.
We seo it suggested that the retaking
of down trodden, Butler ridden New Or
leans, be entrusted to tho brilliant and
dashing Beauregard. A better selection
could not be made than the chivalrous
Beauregard, the hero of Sumter, Manas
sas, and Shiloh. He knows every road
and footpath leading to the city, and is
familiar with every inch of ground over
which an army would have to ma:ch.
His popularity is unbounded, and were
he to strike, Louisiana would rise en masse
to aid him in rescuing the proud cres
cent city from tho Yankee Philistines.
An army wielded by tho expert hand of
Beauregard, we think, could take and
retain New Orleans. Vicksburg Whig

Thi 3 is a fruitful theme of speculation
about these times, and many are the
conclusions come to. It is probable that
this is a question not to bo answerod in
one word ; that is, the army is not all in
one place, but our readers may rest as
sured that a portion of it, at least, is
more thau a day’s march beyond the Ken

A little babe with gleeful smile,
A twinkling, merry, azure eye,
With tender, loving, trusting heart.
Methinks too young, too pure to die.
We loved the little, tender one,
Bright futures pictured bv our love—
But God, who gave, hath called him home,
To reign in bliss, in heaven above.
We loved too deep—though warned betimes,
“Thy treasures place beside my throne.”
Jesus bids us send them home,
Suffer them—they are my own.
God lends him to us, but to prove.
How lasting, pure, and firm his love:
ITis only son has suffered death,
That we in joy might dwell above.
Peace, fond mother, thy jewel lives,
His bliss do not deplore:
He sweetly sleeps in Jesus’ arms,
He’s happy now, his peaco secure.
Those little hands are clasped in death,
That tender heart has ceased to move,
But in happier realms his spirit roams,
Guided by a Saviour’s love.
