Daily Conff.dratb.—We lmve receiv
ed the Jifist number ot ;t paper bearing
the above title, published in Macon, Ga.
It is under the control of L. V. AV. An.
drews, an experienced journalist, and
we have no doubt, it will prove a valua
ble addition to the newspaper world.
Flast VkiiKTAiu.its. All persons who
can appreciate good vegetables dur
ing the “hard” months of May and
June, would do well to plant largely.—
Now is the time to begin the work. Let
every foot of ground capable of sprout
ing a pea or growing an onion or let
tuce plant, be broken up and cultiva
ted. A few hours work every week for
one month to conic will secure an abun
dant crop of vegetables. Would nol this
be cheaper than paying exorbant prices
for the wilted, and half decayed vegeta
bles usually seen in our markets. Let
everybody make a garden of some sort,
ft will be a profitable investment.
Tin; Kxu.mi'tiox Act.—We have re
ceived several letters of enquiry, &c.,
relative to the exemption act, of which
the following extract is a fair sample ;
“Since owners, agents, overseers, &c.,
on plantations, on which are 20 negroes
or more, arc now liable to conscription,
what becomes of those on plantations on
which there are less than 20 negroes?—
Uo you understand, as (he bill now is,
that white males are to be left ou plan
tations of tray number of negroes what
ever ?”
Xo other clause of the exemption bill
litis been repealed except tlie “2(j negro
Clause." Persons on plantations of less
than 20 negroes never were exempt, and,
of course, are still liable to enrollment.
Certainly, it is plain enough that no
whitemales are (o be left “on planta
tions of any number of slaveholders.”
Citizens’ Meeting To-Night.
The committee appointed at a recent
meeting of the citizens of Columbus, to
ascertain the number of men willing to
volunteer for the defence of Savannah,
report only 95 names. Os these, many
have signed themselves as willing, but
unable to go. It is thought, however,
when the emergency becomes more ap
parent, that most of our able-bodied men
will not hesitate to go.
At tho meeting last night, it was re
solved that all those who have recorded
their willingness to go, as well as those
who intend to go, when a demand for
their services is made, shall assemble at
the Council Chamber to night, at 7J,
to organize a company. The election of
officers will, therefore, take place to
night. Let all those who have manifest
ed a willingness to assist in the defence
of Savannah, be in attendance. The
time has arrived when every man is ex
pected to,do his duty, and a failure now
might give him cause for self-reproach
many years hence.
It is expected that all those, either in
the city or vicinity, who hold commis
sion from the Governor as militia officers

the State is threatened, they cannot con
sistently remain at home.
Situation in Tf.nnksske. —The Chat
tanooga Rebel of the 20th says of llic
situation in .Middle Tennessee:
From our front in Middle Tennessee,
we gel (he usual number and variety of
sensation reports. We infer from this,
ihal there lias been less doing in that
quarter, than usual, since the dash of
Gen. Forrest on Franklin, chronicled by
us a few days ago. Front Beech Grove,
we have a correspondent, who gives us
an item of cavalry practice : On the
evening of the 10th inst., Capt. I>. K.
Myers, of Buford’s Brigade, who com
mands the regular scouts, with thirly
six of his men, dashed into Keadyville,
where a Brigade of the enemy were s n
tioned; charged them into their cn
trenchmcnts ; killed and wounded sev
eral, and took two prisoners. With his
field glass, he examined their fortifica
tions, and then dashed out again without
die loss of a man.
Mas. G kn. Biikckinriimik’s Fi.au.—
The wife Gen. John C. Breckinridge, has
hud prepared a magnificent stand of col
ors, constructed from thesilkof (lie wed
ding dress worn by herself upon the day
of her marriage, and designed, through
her distinguisned hubamt, to be pre
sented to the most gallant and brave reg
iment in his Division. We understand
that this appropriate and valued present
has been bestowed upon (he 20th Ten
nessee regiment, commanded by Col. Tom
Smith, and well known, as the famous
“Baltic’s Regiment'’ that did such gal
lant service in the disastrous battle of
Fishing Creek. —Chattanooga Uegimtni.
Retaliation.— The Governor of Vir
ginia has thrown into the Penitentiary
of that State two Yankee officers and five
privates, in retaliation for the confine
ment of the gallant Capt. Zarvona. He
has also ordered to the Penitentiary two
Yankee officers in retaliation for the im
prisonment of two citizens of Virginia
under a false charge of robbing the
mails. These prisoners were captured
by the State forces, and hence arc sub
ject to the Governor s control.
Wheat Chop in Alabama. —A cor
respondent writing from La Fayette,
Chambers county, Ala., in speaking of
the wheat crop says that “indications
are cheering for an unprecedented yield
I for that section of the country.’’ Ac
counts from other sections of Alabama
lin regard to the coming wheat crop
I are very favorable.
l otlon Cards.
lln* MilU'dgeville Kecorder publishes
the following statement, relative to the
card manufactory in that place:
Mi- Peter Jones, the head machinist,
has been indefatigable in his exertions to
produce the. largest quantity of cards pos
sible, within the means at his command,
and with this knowledge we have stated
to the public that an increase of machine
ry would soon turn out GOO pairs daily,
which, allowing twenty-five working days,
would be equal to 7,500 pairs monthly,
or 95,000 in the course of a year. At
this rate, the cash proceeds would ho
SI.Hot) per day, s4s,oooper month, and
$540,000 per annum, at the present
charge of $0 per pail-. This is a very
attractive money statement, and would
soon refund to the Treasury the SIOO,-
<IOO which the Legislature set apart to
the people of Georgia with cotion
cards, in order that they might he suffi
ciently clothed by home manufactures
during the existence of the blockade. A
motive so patriotic calls for public grat
itude.
But what are the facts.' There has
been, and is still, only one card machine
in operation, averaging one pair hourly
during the day and night, say 25 pairs.
At sfi, this would yield $l5O a day,
$‘1,750 a month, and $45,000 a year.—
Estimating half this stint to be profits,-
above the cost of machinery and labor,
it would require four years to reimburse
the Slate Treasury for its advance, —quite
a tailing oil from the first calculation,
making $495,000 in the difference. And
yet such has been the inflated, yet inno
cent promise to the public.ear, on a par
with many other great performances on
paper!
AVe arc informed that two oilier ma
chines equal in capacity to the one now
at work, are about ready for use, and
only await the return of the employees
who have been engaged for the purpose,
and who are now about to bring their
families to reside permanently at the
Seat of Government, in order to prose
cute the card manufacture with more
vigor until the demand shall be satisfied.
At present the supply is like a drop in
the bucket. No one can receive cards
except in exchange for skins. A list of
persons applying for cards is taken down
in due order; it will take two months to
stock the list. An officer ofthe Institu
tion stated that 209 applications were
made where one pair of cards could be
furnished. AVe attach blame to no one
for the scarcity. Mr. Jones and his
co-workers are doing their best. Ship
ments of cards will soon be made to the
Inferior Courts for distribution among
soldiers families. We have made this
statement to moderate public expecta
tion.
Destructive Fire in Mncon. Ga.
The Macon Telegraph of the 21st gives
the following particulars of a tire in
that citj’ ;
About six o’clock yesterday morning,
a pile of fodder in the rear of Messrs.
Hayden & Goolsby’s extensive Livery
stable was discovered to be on fire, and
in two hours after, about one half the
entire block fronting on Walnut and
Second streets was consumed. The
buildings burned were Stubblefield’s sta
bles, Hayden & Goolsby’s stables, the
ware-house and offices occupied by T.
11. Bloom, Esq., a dwelling occupied by
Mrs. AYrigley, another owned by Mrs.
McEcynolds, all tho extensive buildings
attached to the tool and agricultural im
plement manufactory of Nathnn AA’eed,
Esq., together with a good many out
houses, &c., belonging to all the build
ings consumed. The stables being of
wood, and very large, and a pretty stiff
breeze blowing the flames on tho adjoin
ittg houses, the progress of destruction
was so rapid as to involve a heavy loss of
tho contents of all the buildings burned.
Among these, and most melancholy to
relate, sixteen valuable horses iu the
stables of Messrs. Hayden .X Goolby
perished in the flames.
The loss of Messrs. 11. & G. is heavy.
Their stables were among the most ex
tensive in the country and were stowed
with forage and grain—about five thou
sand bushels of corn and one hundred
and fifty thousand pounds of fodder.
Besides this, they lost their entire slock
of fine carriages and harness, but saved
their buggies. They were insured for
about one third the value of the proper
ly-
Mr. Weed's loss is also heavy, princi
pally in the buildings, which were of
brick and large and substantial.
Mr. Bloom's loss, we trust, will not
prove very great.
The families in the burnt district saved
a considerable proportion of their house
hold effects.
The general opinion is that Ihe st ables
were fired by an incendiary. When first
discovered the flames were ji: : kindling,
but among such a mass of combustibles
as the large stock of fodder presented,
they became unmanageable in a few mo
ments. So intense was the heat thatthe
firemen could not approach the burning
stables, but succeeded by hard labor in
arresting the progress of the fire at a
narrow alley, bounded on one side by Mr.
Weed’s factory, and on the other by a
small wooden building, occupied us the
law office of Messrs. Lanier & Anderson.
This is the most disastrous fire we have
had in Macon for several years.
Ghkkly in Hum i j.ty. —A New York
letter of the 10th inst., says:
Vcsterday Judge Betts issued a capita,
at the suit of Isaac Cook, of Chicago, or
dering Horace Greeley, ol the ’tribune,
to find bail in the sum of s£>o,ooo, to
answer a libel on plaintiff, charging him
with frauds on the United States Govern
ment. It appears that when Cook t lie
alleged defaulting paymaster, was arrest
ed at Cincinnati, the editor of the Tri
bune supposed that it was the Chicago
Cook, a prominent Democratic plitieinn,
and formerly postmaster at Chicago, and
proceeded to chargc him with other seri
ous delinquencies. On discovering the
mistake, an apolgy was made, but, not
withstanding, suit for libel is instituted.
Cotton Planting. —The Legislature
of South Carolina, at its recent session,
passed an act limiting the planting of
cotlon in that State.
The act provides there shall not be
planted in that State a greater area than
three acres of short staple, and one and
a half acres of long staple cotton to each
hand employed in agriculture, between
the agesjrf fifty-five.
It further provides that hands over
fifty-five years of age and uudev sixty
live, or over twelve and under fifteen,
shall be considered as half hands. The
penalty is a fine of five hundred dollars
for each acre cultivated in excess of the
allowance above stated.

Napoleon's Krasons for Favoring
the Davis Government.
the advices from Europe announce
that the Emperor Napoleon made a short
address on New Year’s dav to the as
sembled representatives of foreign gov
ernments at his Court, in which he as
sured them of his continued desire for
peace. AVe also hear that he addressed
a remark to our Minister, Mr. Dayton,
which is construed by some into a decla
ration that for another year lie will not
inter!ere m our iiiLiirs. W-c hhvo never
placed any great reliance upon Napole
on s assertions. AVo judge his course by
his actions, having a dAstinot remem-
brance of his emphatic denial of any
desire to obtain Nice and Savoy, at the
very time lie was forcing Victor l'.nmn
uel, by intrigues and threats, to cede
him these provinces. From reliable
sources we obtain information front Par
is wich induces us to conclude that the
Emperor ot flic French has evidently
made up his mind to espouse ifio catise
of the South. The rebel leaders in Par
is are now t lie reoipienfs of imperial fa
vor. The Empress has taken under her
immediate patronage the prominent se
cession ladies who dwell in Paris, w hile
thi' courtiers, one and all, vie in their
attentions to Slidoll, his family and his
circle of associates front the South.—
These are significant facts, and have a
greater importance than would be attri
buted to them by those not aware how
every action of Napoleon is weighed,
how carefully he shadows forth his codrse
by signs which escape (he attention of
the unwary. 1m! which carry conviction
to those who have carefully watched his
policy.
Until Napoleon fully- made up his
mind to favor the South he was cold and
torbidding to Slide Aland his followers.
They ware not to be received at Court—
in fact, wore ostracised. Those wore
t he days when our victories pressed close
ly upon each other; those tho days when
the continuance of the rebellion seemed
impossible. Oifr successes, however,
became worthless and without results,
through tho gross negligence and imbe
cility of our departments at Washing
ton ; and when it became evident that
the chances of Davis fora successful re
sistance were augmenting, Napoleon re
lented somewhat towards Slidell, and
allowed the rebel a short half hour’s au
dience. From that moment the hopes of
the secessionists rose. They well knew
what importance to attach to Napoleon's
least action. AVo met with reverses,
while, to aitd to our complications it be
came evident to tlic world that the North
was divided; that a few families—men
with but one thought, one desire—were
driving the country to destruction.—
Then Napoleon invited .Slidell to break
fast. AVlictt they heard in France that
our gallant army had been repulsed at
Fredericksburg, the Emperor took Sli
dell into his intimacy, and %ow he and
his like arc the favorites at the French
Court. Those who know what this indi
cates will understand that Napoleon now
openly espouses the cause of Davis. AVe
shall not be surprised if our next files
from Europe give details of Ihe grand
reception at. the Tuilories of “Ilis Ex
cellency Slidell, Minister of President
Davis.”
There are many reasons why Napoleon
should favor the South, the most impor
tant of which is, that Davis promises not
only to help Napoleon in Mexico, but, as
a further inducement, and to furnish a
noble motive for Napoleon’s recognition,
the South actually promises to tree her
slaves within some given space of time.
Napoleon is aware that he will bo safe
from us fora period, ns regards any in
terference with his Mexican expedition,
if he succeeds in raising up a barrier be
tween us and liimgclf, such as a Southern
Confederacy. He covets the silver mines
of Mexico; ha* made grand plans for
working them on a scale never before at
tempted, and expects great results. But
he must be free from interference for
some time to carry out these schemes;
and only in the existence of the South as
a Government could ho remain undis
turbed iu Mexico. Napoleon will tell
his people he recognizes the South be
cause be is ever the “aider of all nations
struggling for existence.” This phrase
did great service at the opening ofthe
Italian campaign. It tickles the vanity
of the French people to be told they have
built up t> new’ power. Cotton will be
procured from Southern ports, and this
will he still another grand argument for
Napoleon in favor of his recognition of
Davis, lie will say to bis subjects, “1
have acknowledged the existence of tire
South as a nation, and you see the re
sults—immediate employment for the
starving operatives and the alliance of a
new power.” Ife trusts (hat, aided by
the South, his plans fur the conquest and
occupation of Mexico will succeed, and
that immediate revenues obtained from
tliar country will silence the opposition
ol ihe people to Ihe Mexican expedition.
Up to Ihe present time, Napoleon has
been unsuccessful in Mexico, lie natu
rally understands he must succeed there
ultimately, as the French people would
never forgive his having undertaken tlie
campaign wove he to withdraw now, al
ter the, useless expenditure of hundreds
of millions of francs.
Napoleon’s position in Europe, at this
lime, is a most unfavorable one. The
Italians have set aside his power and in
fluence, and will allow no further inter
ference on his part iri their affairs. We
hear from a reliable source that (he rela
tions between France and Spain were
almost suspended, owing to the irritation
which had arisen out of Napoleon’s pol
icy in Mexico; while in England therx
trntr. ronlkilr has become an empty sound.
Napoleon must keep up his influence
abroad, if ho wishes to reign in Franco.
He knows that his people will cease to
care for or respect his rule the moment it
becomes weakened. So he will, we fear,
make a great show of recognizing the
South as an instance and influence of the
power of France, the more likely as he
will reap immediate and ’substantial re
•sults from such a step. That he is in
favor of the Davis government hone can
doubt, llis actions prove this. A care
ful survey of his present position will
convince those who understand the peo
ple of France, that Napoleon cau make
capital with them by a recognition of the
Southern Confederacy; and we are all
aware that he is ever ready to follow
where Sis interests lead. We musi not
imagine that respect for. our power will
deter Napoleon. Our mistakes and
blunders have taught him to doubt its
existence.—.lew York Herald.

Matters at Vicksburg.
V ickßburg, Feb. 15.—The main topic
ot conversation on the streets yesterday
was t he passage of the gunboat during
! hc preceding night, and singularly
enough no account be given of the craft,
further than that she went, down. So
intense was tho darkness that the senti
:it *be water battery could not make
until she was within a few buu
,lU ‘ a,^h our guns. She had taken
u pieoautioii to float down with the
l uncu , hoping, no doubt, to nuictly
T~ t by ,p! l<lWrv ‘ d without turning it
wheel The moment that she was dis
covered. and heard the orders from our
ofheers to man the guns, she got up a
full head of steam and ran for dear life
until she was lost in the darkuesv beyond
our guns.
A difference of opinion prevails among
the officers in command of our guns about
her being struck at all or not. Those in
charge of the water battery above, de
clare that she escaped clear without a
scratch, while at the lower batteries it is
claimed that three shots took her fair
ami square. There is but little doubt
that she escaped and has gone down the
liver. She is evidently a fast craft, as
she did some of the tallest kind of run
ning nltov our’ batteries opened on her,
and it. may possibly be that it is one of
their mi' -I'ligei' boats, sent down to see
how General Bank, i getting along at
Tort Hudson.
If l his move can be regarded as an in
dex to Ihe plans ofthe enemy in opera
ting against this point, wc may now
count with some degree of certainty that
an advance from below may lie expected.
It is not known whether any troops have
been sent to tile lower end of the penin
sula, Imi it is very likely this has been
done.
Our officials evidently expect an attack
to be made very soon, and all that wc
care about letting the enemy know is
that lie will nol find us uslccp, no
matter what hour he uiay select to pay

Saturday evening a heavy rtiiu set iu,
which continued uninterruptedly all
night and up to 12 o'clock on Sunday.—
No military movements were practicable
in such weather, and nothing was ob
served, owing to the fog, which obscured
entirely our view of (lie Yankee camp.—
The continuous sheet, of lightning all
night, was 100 unpropitious. fur the en
emy to attempt the passage by of another
boat. Up to twelve o'clock to-day ev
erything remained quiet.
A'li'icsittritu, Feb. Hi, 180 R.
Nothing has yot come to hand regard
ing the boat which ran Ihe hatter-cs on
Friday night. Her mistcrious disap
pearance down the river leads to the
impression that she must have been a
messenger boat, nud was sent below to
communicate with Com. Farragut and
Gen. Banks. It is very likely that Gen.
•Sherman and Com. Dorter are anxious
to have the forces below Port Hudson
come tip and assist in taking Vicksburg,
and that this craft tins been sent down
there to ascertain what the prospects are
of getting any aid front that quarter. No
other explanation has yet been arrived at;
and it may turn out tlmt the boat was a
little pigmy concern, that could hardly
lie seen in the day time, much less ou a
dark night.
Owing to the heavy rain ou Sunday
morning nothing could be witnessed of
(lie enemy. An occasional interval of a
few minutes of clear skies would reveal
the fact that about the usual number of
steamers wore at the anchorage above,
and considerable steaming behind the
bend of the river indicated the approach
of more vessels. The water is now daily
gaining on the peninsula, and (lie Yan
kees arc already isolated from the ruins
of DeSoto City, the water intervening be
tween it and their camps. There is yet.
a considevabl'' amount of ground In tlic
vicinity of the camps, but if the rise
continues, it will inevitably result in
driving them away from there, and llie
prospects are that this wilt take place
very soon.
Judging from the aulive preparations
now going on in ccrtuiu quarters, it ih
believed Hull Ihe officer* iu command
here have got in possession of very im
portant knowledge about the pAiut of
assault, and no one id left in doubt as to
where that point is. If Ihe Yankees
have a desire lo meet with a warm re
ueplion in Iheir visit to Vicksburg they
will most assuredly not be disappointed
this time.
While il is provokingly tedious to wit
ness Ike presence of the enemy within a
few miles of the city, and no attempt is
made to hasten ou the decisive struggle,
it is greatly to our advantage for them
to waste iheir time in idleness, while we
can improve it by additional fortifica
tions. The enemy is evidently in a di
lemma no practicable point within
reach to land I.in forces, and no hope of
sassing the place by au assault from the
gunboats, and Ihe water rising so rapid
ly ihut lie is compelled to make a demon
stration very shortly, for Ihe sake ot hav-
I ing an excus- to retire.
Uy means of its overwhelming mini hers
he expects to storm our batteries and
swallow up everything in his way, thus
forcing the few Confederate troops to
retire before his approach as they would
fleofrom the irresistible avalanche of
lava from a volcano. But these arc all
Yankee calculations, and their object is
100 well under.:U'oil to affect any of our
troops by ihe monster demonstration
when it comes oil. During the night
and morning everything remained quiet,
and the rain still continues falling, mak
ing the sea.-.on exceedingly unpleasant,
for military operations.
Tin* Israelites ol' Macon.
Mr. E. Isaacs, a prominent Israelite
of Macon, Gn., appeals to his fellow
countrymen to repair at once to Savan

fence of their adopted State, lie says:
-'The appeal of the heroic Beauregard

Let us gather our arms and munitions—
