Alarmists.— There are i«t every com
munity those who g'ovr tremulous and
excited at the remotest prospect of dan-
I gcr. The enemy hss advanced to the in.
1 (erior of Alabama, from the Tennessee
river. Selma has been captured, snd
perhaps burned. This has given alarm
to nervous individuals in Columbus.—
They seem to have forgotten that Sher
man with his entire army was much nearer
Columbus six mouths ago ; that the whole
of Western Georgia was completely un
co vet ed; and in fact that the whole State
was at the mercy of (he enemy. Things
are somewhat different now. The city of
Columbus is defended tosdny by a much
moie efficient force than at auy previous
time, while the prospect of an attack is
diminished. V. e have the assurance that
Gens. Cobb and Smith are alivo to the
importance of a successful defence cf this
oily, and that a sufScient force will
sent here in time to defend it against any
Yankee raid. The Post Commandant is
not sleeping over his duties. Every thing
is in readiness. Let us keep cool.
Gov. Vance on the Sonin Carolina
Crisis. —ln a stirring proclamation from
Gov. Vance, wo find the following patri
otic suggestions. 'They will apply as
well to the people of Georgia a3 any clh
erSiate, and should be heeded and acted
upon by all.
Lot the balanoe of our cities go—Mo
bile, Charleston, Wilmington, Richmond
—all, and if we are determined to bo
free our suljugation is quite as distant
as ever, for, thank God, tho Confed
eracy does not consist iu brick and mor
tar, or particular spots of ground, how
ever valuable they may be in a military
point cf view. Our nationality consists
in our people. Liberty dwells in the
hearts of her votaries, and the ragged,
barefooted soldiers, standing in the
depths of the forest, or in the shadow
of tho mountain, can offer her sacrifices,
which will be as sweet and acceptable as
those proffered in gorgeous tuples in
iho midst of ffifignifioenf cities. So if our
country and cause, like to the kingdom
cf God, be enthroned in our hearts,
then, indeed am 1 persuaded that neither
principalities nor powers, nor things
present nor things to como, nor height
or depth, nor life nor death, nor any oth
er creature shall be able to separate tis
from that independence and honor for
which our people have suffered and our
sons have died.
“Therefore, my countrymen, having warned
you of this dangor which is upon y u I now ap
peal to you by evoiyihing held sacred among
men, to bear yourreivts as becomes your high
lino.«ge aLd future h.<pes. I implore you to lay
down all party bitterness, and to be reconciled to
your neighbor for tho sake ot your country; to
use every possible exerti m to restore-, absentees
t u vhe army ; to divide of your abundance freely
with iho poor anil the Buffering: to strengthen
.he arms of your rulers, aud tj sustain your sol
diers and their g:nera<s; and to give cheerfully
• our aid, physica', mental and moral, in what
ever sphere you may bo, to prevent tbo degrada
tion of your country and tho ruin of its pecp!e.'*
Great Mortality or Spanish Sol
diers in St. Dominoo. —The Havana cor
respondent of the New York Herald
writing cn the 18;h of F.bruary, says:
We have been for a considerable time
without news from St. Domingo, proba
bly because everything is quiet here, in
expectation of the speedy abandonment
of the Island by the Spanish government.
As an instance of the hopelessness of a
struggle, in which by far tho most terri
ble foe is the climate of that country, i
would mention that a regimcntwhich has
been there since the commencement of
the war, eighteen months ago, and which
left Havana wiib nine hundred men, rank
and file, returned ihe week before last
wita only fourteen survivors out of that
number. The officers did not suffer in
proportion and were much more fortu
nate, since only seven have perished.—
This unfortunate regiment owes its anni
hilation entirely to the climate, the cas
ualties of the field being but a fraction.
With such an example before their eyes
the advisers of her Catholic Majesty must
be convinced that they cannot serve the
interests of Spain better than by with
drawing the army at once from so fearful
apes hole and so unprofitable a colony.
A Tkub Statesman. —lion Alexander
Long, representative in the Federal
Congress from the Cincinnati district,
recently made a farewell speech in the
House. In the course of his holding the
floor the following soliloquy ensued :
Mr. Boutwell—Does the gentlemen say
a State has a right to secede?
Mr. LoDg —l do so believe, and there
is nothing in the Constitution to prohibit
it. It is unconstitutional to coerce a
State.
Mr. Boutwell—Wherein doe3 the gen
tleman differ from Jefferson Davis ? Does
he believe Davis is wrong in trying to
get the States out of the Union ?
Mr. Long—lam not here to answer
for the opinions of Jefferson Davis. I am
not here to say whether he is right or
wrong.
Sherman and Johnston.— An Au
gusta correspondent writes ;
The artißtic Sherman seems to be in a
deep study, and tb<j evil genius of his
dreams is Gen. Joseph E. Johnston.
What the Tesult of his cogitations will
be will coon be developed lor the incar
nation of unrest that haunts him like
the spirit of a Tantalus urging him to
constant movement, will force him to
sudden operations and a rapid develop
ment of his plans. The cool wisdom
and shrewd genius or our mvincib.e
General will meet the lanltee hoots on
nearly equal terms.
No man can be witty when he wanteto, i nore
fce can be hungry When h« w»nt» to-H “ m
him as love doe«, he can’t tell how nor why.
COLUMBUS, GA., TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 4, 1805.
Conscript Karcau Report.
The following report of ihe Sitpcriu
teniiciit of Conscript toil has l een trans
mitted to the Confederate Senate by the
Secretary of War:
Bureau or Con&OiurrioN, 1
Richmond, Fob. 17, 1805. f
Hon John C Uvockim-idge:
Sir:—Your reference to the following
resolution was teeefved at 'this offico on
tho 17th inetsnt.
“Kesoivid, That tho SWdietary of War
be instructed to inform the Senate, with
as little delay as possible, rvhat number
of conscript soldiers have boeu levied in
cach-Stale cf the Confederacy and placed
in service in tW field ; whether there
has been any failure to execute the law
of Conscription in auy Slate by reason
cl'any cause other than its occupation
by the enemy ; if so, why it has not been
executed with uniformity in all localities
where the operations of iho enemy have
not. prevented ”
The following exhibits the number of
conscripts unsigned to t !:o army from
camps oi instruotio'!!, as furnished by iho
repotts of the commandants of coueoripta
of the respective Slates : f
Virginia 13.903 ; North-Carolina 21,-
848; South Carolina 9,120; Georgia B,<>
903; Alabama 34 875, exclusive of opera
tions of Gen, Pillow ; Mississippi 8,071,
exclusive of operadous of Gen. Pillow ;
Florida 302, B.nCe January, 1801; lia3t.
Louisiana 81, for part. July, August and
September 1801; East. Tounesßoe 5,220 —
total 81,993.
It is conjectured that nearly p.n equal
number have gone, into service, Rad been
placed on rolls, who aro uot recorded iu
the camps of instruction. The returns
are accurate in the four States of Vir
ginia, North and South Carolina aud
Georgia.
In the mouth cf June, 1803, the matter
of conscription in tho Stateti o: Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi aud Tennessee was
taken from the control of this bureau
aud placed in the hands of Brigadier Gen.
Pillow, who continued to administer it
| until January, 1804 This buicau has
never been able to obtain any report of
the opiration cf conscription in those
States during that, period of seven
months. It is believed nano exist. Much
of the } oar 1864 was exhausted in the
endeavor to gel rid of tho system of Gen.
Pillow and re-establish a mere uniform
and efficient service. It is believe! tho
returns, since March, 1804, from these
States are nearly conect.
In the States of Florida, Alabama,
Tennessee and Mississippi there has
been a “failure’’ to execute the law of
conscription for the reason stated above.
Iu the other States it has been executed
with as much uniformity and vigor as
the agencies assigued to the duty aud
the circumstances of Ihe country would
allow.
Whete there have appeared diversities
they have resulted from the difference in
the efficiency of officers, the opposition
of State authorities the resistance of
communities, and the cxerciso of the
discretion vested in the Executive. In
iffkny cases, localities bordering on the
lines of the enemy have required dif
fer eat procec iingsfrom those applicable
to the interior. In some of, those, great
leniency was necessary ; in some, such
rigor as induced the Executive to charge
military commanders with the service.
Iu some sec!.ism.a the tnadit.inn cf the
populations demanded leniency, others
admitted the utmost rigor. Since Jan
uary, 1804, in all ihe States east of tho
liftsiiss-ippi, the oarno general system
has prevailed.
Instructions to local officers have been
uniform, with the special variations in
dicated. The difference in the returns
of the four Eastern States is fully ac
counted for, thus : In A'irgiiiia and South
Carolina there has never been exhibited
the slightest opposition to the conscrip
tion law, and af er it s passage large num
fcer.s of men passed into ihe service with
out being compelled to go through the
camps, thus evading the law on one point
to it in another way. In North Car
oliua and Georgia there was popular ami
oonstiiuted resistance. Tho consequence
was that while in Virginia thctc were but
14,000 conscripts, ihetu are supposod to
be 16,000 quasi volunteers ; while iu N.
CarSlina thet o are 21,500 coneeripts, and
perhaps, less than 3,000 quasi volunteers
In Georgia the case is and Here at, and pre
sents this aspect. That so violent was
the prejudice against conscription that
only about 9,000 have been returned, and
yet, tfiepeople choosing their own mode
of going into service, huve sent, it is sup
posed, about 26,000 quasi volunteers. —
The constant and persistent efforts of
this bureau has been to preserve uniform
ity'and palliate all inevitable disturbs
ances in the administration oft ho law
I remain, meet recpcctfully,
Your obedient servant,
John A. Preston,
Brigadier Genera! and Superintendent.

Savlsrcry after Skcrrtaby Stanton.
—ln a recent debate in the Yankee
Senate, Mr. Snulsbury, of Delaware,
offered tho following icsolutiou whioh
was objected to, and lies over, under the
nilo :
Whereas, lua speech recently doliv
erel by the Hon. Albert G, Brown, late
a member of this body, and now a membor
of the Confederate Congress, as reportod
in the New York Herald of the Ith iast.,
tho following statement is made: “Stan
ton, tho last of this ignoble trio of blatant
Democrats, alono remained. It seemed
that he had no power to disgust Lincoln:
it might be beoauso he was baser than
tho other two. He rather thought it was
for of all unmitigated falsifiers of sacred
pledges and undisguised betrayers of the
confidence which he himself had created.
E M Stanton was the meanest aud tho bas
est. He-had one consolation in thinbiug of
thi3 man Stanton, and that was that ho
would bo, certain, sooner or later, to
betray Lino'n, Sianton was incapable
of keeping faith. Ho had a fondness f>r
betraying thoso who gave him their con
fidence ; that bus become the charm of
his lire. Brown related au interview
which ho had with Ura present Yankee
Secretary of War, just before he (Brown)
left Washington the last time. It was
under circumstances peculiarly oaloula
ted to impress Mr. Brown. His State
liai withdrawn from the Union. Mr.
Brown was passing out of the Senate
and Mr. Stanton from the Supreme
Court. They met by accident in front
efthe Old Capitol, when the convcrtation
turned at once on secession, tho notion
of Mississippi on tho question, and Mr.
Brown’s withdrawal from the Senate.
Mr. Brown was surprised, and under
the circumstances delighted to hear Mr.
Stanton soy the South was right, and
expressed an earnest hope that Bke
would stand firm. ‘You are right, said
he. ‘Go home aud urge your friends to
stand by what they have done, and nil
will be well. Firmnesß now will tecurc
you all you ask. Any «avering and
you are lost.”
And Whereas, la the judgement ofthe
Senate, no person, whose patriotism and
fidelity to the Constitution and Govern
ment of the United States is questioned
should be a member of the Cabinet of the
United Stales under the present loyal
and patriotic Executive; Therefore,
Retolved, That a committee of five mem
bers of the Senate be appointed by ihe
presiding officer thereof to make inquiry
in reference to the truth or falsity of the
chsrgea hereinbefore as aforesaid cited,
and in reference to the patriotism and
loyalty of tho said Edwin MT Stanton,
Secretary of War, past and present, with
leave to take the testimony and to make
report iu writing to the Senate.
Mr. Caulsbury pledges himself to pro
duce proof of the above chargos sgainst
Mr. Stanton if afforded an opportunity.
Trading With Soldiers. —ls the pub
lic aware of tho fact mat trading with
soldiers for shoes, clothing or rations is
punishable by tho articles of war, and
by act of Congress, by very heavy and
serious penalties ? Y T et bo it is.
Art. 38, Articles of War, says: “Ev
ery noncommissioned officer or Boldior,
who shall be convicted before a court
martial, cf having sold, lost or spoiled,
through neglect, hts home, arms, clothes
or accoutrements, shall undergo Buoh
weekly stoppages, (uot exceeding the
half of his pay,) ns tuch court martial
shall judge fcyjiEoient for repairing tho
loss or damage; and shall suffer confine
ment, or such ether corporeal punish
ment as his crime shall de'erve.”
From the act of Congress on this sub
ject, approved Jan. 22d, 18G4 wo extract
as follows ;
“The Congress of (ho Confederate
States of America do enucf, That every
person not subject to the rules aad arti
cles of wur, who shall purchase from any
soldier or person carolled for service any
portion of his arms, equipments, rations
or doming, or any property belonging
to the Confederate Sta es. or to any offi
cer or soldier of the Confederate State?,
shall, upon conviction before the District
Court of lha Confederate Stale?, having
jurisdiction of the offence, be lined not
exeetdmg one thousand dollars, and be
imprisoned act exceeding two tears.”
In the Virginia House of Delegates, on
the 13th inst, iheid occurred a passage
of wit, that was worthy cf the keen and
and trenchant mind and titties of Ran
dolph. It reminds one of the limes when
the sharpest of sword-play at words,
made the debates in the United States
Congress very charming and very daiight
ful.
Wo append the extract referred to as
It occurred in tho debate oa the license
bill :
“The House having disposed of tho tax
tax bill, took up the license bill, which
deolaren what licenses shall bo taken out.
“In the section defining what is a bill
iard table, Mr. Hall, of Wetzel, obtained
the floor. Ho was opposed to all ibis
interference in private affairs and pri
vate amusemont. Let the fialocn keepers
alone. Everybody cau get as much
liquor as they want, notwithstanding the
law prohibiting licenses. Everybody
can play as much faro as they want, not
withstanding tLe law against faro playe
ing. Every member here thinks he is
the greatest man that walks the earth.
If the speaker was to tell them that they
are the biggest fools and the laughing
slock of ttie community they would get
mad. There’s the gentleman from Ohio
county ; he cau drintt as much liq-uor as
anybody.
“Tho member from Ohio rose to a
privileged question—
“lf he could drit.k as much liijuor as
the gentleman from Wetzel, ho haped he
could carry it better and show it less.*
“Mr. Hall sat down.
Yakker Enlistments in South Afri
ca.—An alleged attempt, says a corres
pondent of i ho New York World, has been
made at the Gape to enlist soldiers for
the Federal army without success. A
Mr. Webrham opened an office fur “As
sisted Emigration” to America, and took
down tho names of some four or five hun
dred persons. His proceedings were ex
posed by tho South Africa Adverliaerand
Cafail, but it was some time before the
authorities interfered. They did so at
last, Mr. Field, Emigration Superinten
dent, Wsnt on board the Mcrrimac, an
American vessol by which the emigrants
werfi to leave.
.Mr. Field at once saw the ves-cl who
adapted to carry emigrants, and con
demned her accordingly. Mr. Webrham
subsequently published advertisements
to prove the genuine character of hia cn
terptise aa an emigration scheme. On
Saturday, De*. 17th, he was apprehend
ed on a charge of violating the foreign
enlistment act. Ho was then liberated
on his Tceogtrzinc* to answer for the of
fence on the f Blowing Monday. On tsf
Monday ha did not appear, and it was
supposed he left the colony by a vessel
whioh sailed for New York on tbat day.

A Rebel Spy in Petticoats.
Tfro young women, apparently 10
or 20 years of age, callca atthe rooms
of the Soldiers’ Aid Association in
Cleveland, Ohio, and appliod for
transportation to Washington. One
of them, giving the name of Charlotte
Anderson, said she had enlisted two
or three times in the army, but had
boon rejected on her sex being dis
covered. As they turned to leave,
one of tho ladies in tho room became
suspicious that “ Charlotte” was a
man,, and sent up stairs to the Provost
Marshal; by whosli order “Charlotte”
and her companion were immediately
arrested.
“ Charlotte,” on being charged
with sailing under l’also colors, indig
nantly denied tiny imputation, and
her companion Emma also assured Ihq
officers “ Charlotte” was tt girl, lor
thoy had slept together several nights.
Emma proved the honesty of her be
lief by urging “ Charlotte” to submit
to the medical examination proposed,
but “ Charlotte” stoutly refused, and
it was only by forcible means that the
examination was made, anti the laet
established that “she” was a “he."
Emma was overwhelmed with confu
sion and grief on the discovery of the
sox of her companion, and wept bit
terly, refusing all further communica
tion with him. ‘ Charlotte’ was lock
ed up in the city prison, and- Emma
was taken iu charge by Commissioner
K irkpatrick.
'Elio girl Emma, whose other name
we suppress, for the reason that she
was undoubtedly innocent of any com
plicity in the schemes of her compan
ion, states that she lived in Erie, hut.
j lias been for sometime living in this
city (Cleveland,) as a hired girl. She
is a good work girl, being well tie
i t/uainfed with tho business of the
1 kitchen, and apparently modest and
well behaved. Bho says that several
days since she formed the acquaint
ance of Charlotte Anderson, and they
had been living at the City Hotel aiiu
the L’cnnctt House. They slept to
gether, Emma having not tho slight
est suspicion that her bedfellow was
not a woman. Charlotte always put
out the light before entirely undress
ing, alleging that it was too cold to
do so when undressed. She also
got up and dressed before Emma was
awake, or lay in bed till the latter had
left the room. Charlotte frequently
received letters, many of them from
Dayton. Some of these letters were
addressed to Charlie Anderson, which
she supposed to ho a diminutive of
Charlotte. It was noticeable, how
ever, that they were always delivered
at the gentleman’s window of the I’.
()., Charlotte going there for them.
A few days gyico “ Charlotte” pro
posed that they should go to Wash
ington, where she could get good
places for both of thorn, and to this
| Emma agreed. Owing to tbo failure
of her companion to some
funds she expected, Emma spent all
tho money she bad, anti they were
obliged to seek aid at tho Soldiers’
Aid rooms, as narrated.
After the arrest “ Charlotte” was
at first sullen, but when dressed in
soldiers’ clothes, ho brightened up,
and expressed a willingness to make a
clean breast of it.
Evidence lias been collected that
leaves little doubt of the laet that
“ Charlie Anderson” is a rebel spy,
and in communication with persons
in tbo North. All his letters were
destroyed as received. His state
ment in regard to living in Erie is
false, as he is entirely ignorant of lo
calities and persons tlifirc, rind he is
likewise ignorant in regard to Cincin
nati, where he professes to have lived
He has been in Dayton, and be re
turned from there lately, remarking
to llie girl that be was very glad , for
his anxiety would soon be over. In
his possesion,were found three sets
of wearing apparel, one female, one
military, and one the dress of a dash
ing “young man about town.”
Charlie, alias “Lottie” Anderson,
is very feminine in appearance, and
has a soft and low feminine voice,
whenever he chooses to use it. When
dressed as a man, he has the appear
ance of a girl in disguise;’ and when
dressed in tasteful feminine attire, it
is exceedingly difficult to doubt the
femininity. His accomplishments arc
varied. He is a dead shot with a
pistol, a splendid horseman, can talk
three languages fluently, can dance
admirably, play the piano, do fine
sewing, embroider, knit, and crochet
equal to any woman, and spark the
boys, as many of them know to their
mortification. On one occasion ‘she’
received a stolen kiss behind the door
from an enamoured swain, and re
turned it with fervur, to his delight.
Although so feminine An appearance,
he is remarkably strong for his size.
There are other fact- that go to
show lie is a rebel spy, tlmt it would
not be proper to give at this time.
The object of his getiing acquainted
with the girl, and keeping her in ig
norance of his real sex, was to divert
suspicion from himself riil he v.oul'l
get to Washington. In private with
Emma he has expressed a hitter ha
tred to the North, and a determina
tion to shoot President Lincoln ii he
could get a chance at him.—( Ao c
