COLUMBUS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1861.
The 4th of July.
At the last annual meeting of the "Cotton
Planters Convention” on the Ilth inst, resolu
tions were passed involving a mass meeting cf
the planters and farmers of the State to be held
on the 4th of July, in Macon, for the purpose of
sustaining and contributing a portion of the next
crop to meet the expenses of- the Confederate
Government. !
Every district and county in the State, ia urg
ed to send delegates of their most intelligent and
patriotic men. As the time is short to get up |
county meetings in many sections of the State, j
we suggest to the military organizations to ap®
point delegates at the first district or company
drill. This Is an important and patriotic move,
and carried out with the measures suggested and
inaugurated by this Convention, (which "proves
its faith by its works" by plaoing in the hand3
of the government $4,500) cannot fail to raise a
very large amount of money upon Government
bonds.
Many of the ablest men of the State are invi
ted to co-operate at this meeting, and will be
present.
The City Light Gnards and oar Ladies.
Capt. Colquitt, writing from Sewall’s Point,
near Fortress Monroe, Va., cays:
"Heaven bless the ladies tor their kind re
membrance of us, while absent from home and
fighting the battles of our country. They have
sent us Havelocks, which protect the face against
the burning rays of the sun and contribute a
great deal to our comfort. Can we fail to tri
umph and drive the enemy from our soil, when
we have their approving smiles and generous
sympathy ? Is bearing arms a burden, hard
ships a toil and death a dreaded visitor, when
their love follows us for defending their homes and
fire-sides ? Hoes not the sword leap from its
scabbard to resist their wrongs and defend iheir
rights? God bless them ! Would that 1 could
say something worthy of them, lor I feel that
they are all heroines and, like the women of the
Revolution, would make any sacrifice for their
beloved country. Till them we thank them for
their precious favor, and amid the stirring, evont
ful scenes of this struggle for our independence,
they will have a soldiers’ love and daily re
membrance at a Throne of Grace."

Patriotic Letter from a Daughter of the South,
Skwall’s. Point, Va., June Bth.
Editors of the Argue.
Sirs : I send j'ou herewith, for publication, at
the unanimous request of the City Light Guards,
of Georgia, a communication to the corps, from
one of the loveliest and fairest daughters of the
Gouth, which breathes the spirit of patriotism and
inspires to deeds at heroic valor our brave young
soldiers. This lady is Miss Ella Ingraham,
whose name (though its appearing in print may
cause a blush to her cheek) should not be with
held in these days, when our homes and fire
sides are invaded by a ruthless foe.
With respect, P. H. COLQUITT,
Columbus, Ga., June 3d, 1861,
Mr Friends. —With thrilling emotions of pride
and pleasure, I address you, the glorious vic
tors of the first battle fought in defence of our
country on the soil of old Virginia.
Brave and gallant sons of Georgia, whose
deed* of valor are already recorded in the hearts
of your countrymen, and whose laurels can
never be withered by party spirit, or torn from
she possessor by any change of administration,
wo feel that yon will never give up the glorious
contest that has called you to the field, but that
the terrible earnestness which pervades the con
duct of all will make your blows felt in the hour
of battle.
My feelings on that memorable day when
your patriotism and chivalry spoke with all its
thrilling power, were but the echo of your own.
Could your “Fille du Regiment," with eagle
like rapidity, have winged her way to the ban
ner she so oonfidingly entrusted to* you, waving
defiantly, she would willingly have shared the
dangers with you who so nobly protected it from
the tarnish of the invader.
We know that clouds of the enemy are gather
ing about you, but we are buoyed with the hope
that, like the Arabs, they will fold their tents
and steal silentiy away.
Wo rejoice that your lot in this great strug
gle is east amoeg a people celebrated for their
hospitality, generosity and friendliness—quali
ties which seem to spring spontaneously ; ema
nations of tae heart, pu re, unadulterated. A
fountain whose waters never fail, and whose
depths can only be measured by exigencies that
may arise. The attention, kindness and praises
which you so justly merit, received from these
people, will ever be appreciated by friends whose
interest in you neither sleeps nor slumbers.—
When thoughts of home touch the heart, remem
ber that you are continually in the minds of these
whom you Jove.
May the smiles of Heaven rest upon you, and
may your names be written on "the blood bought
page of everlasting life I"
Interesting Topographical Information.
As.it is now certain that Virginia is to be the
seat of war, and many ot our readers may not
be familiar with localities in that region, the
following article from the Vicksburg Whig will
be found interesting; as it gives some idea of
the position of points likely to be of importance
during the war;
Harper's Ferry, on the Potomac, is a point
well known to all. Point of Rocks is twelve
miles below Harper’s Ferry, on the Maryland
side of the Potomac, and is the point where the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad strikes that river,
and thence follows up the river to Harper's Fer
ry. Alexandria, on the Potomac, is about eight
miles below Washington. Fairfax Court House
ks about eighteen miles from Alexandria. Ma
nassas Junction, where tae railroad from the val
ley of Virginia, and the road from Charlottesville
to Alexandria meet, is about 27 miles South
east if Alexandria. Culpepper Court House is
about t>2 miles from Alexandria, on the road to
Charlottesville. Gordonsviile is about 88 miles
from Alexandria, on the same railroad, and is the
point where the Richmond and Charlottesville
railroads meet —the latter place being about 88
iqiles from Richmond and about 100 miles from
Alexandria.
Aquia Creek, below Alexandria, is the point
where the Richmond and Fredericksburg rail
road strikes the Potomac. York river empties
into Chesapeako Bay, South of Potomac and be
tween that and Fortress Monroe—Yorktown be
itg afewmiieß up tbo York river. Fortress
Monroe is at the point of land East of the en
trance of James river into Hampton Roads, and
Hampton on the main land of Virginia, about
two and a half miles from the fort. Newport
News is on the Eastern bank of James river, near
its mouth, and not far from Hampton. Elizabeth
river runs nearly North, empties into Hampton
Roads, opposite the month of James river—one
going nearly South and the other nearly North
and Fortress Monroe and the Rip Raps, or Fort
Lainoun, commanding the entrance from Hamp
.(*n Roads, into the Chesapeake Bay, and thus
a.i vessel.-? passing from James and Elizabeth
i r ‘ vcrd Id Chesapeake Bay have to n&S3 between
I Fort Monroe and Rip Raps,
j Norfolk is on the south side of Elizabeth river,
j about 16 miles from Fort Monroe. Portsmouth
■ is nearly opposite to Norfolk and Gosport Navy
: Yard, a few miles up the same river on the
! Portsmouth side. Sewali’s Point is the extreme
I point at the mouth of Elizabeth river, where it
! empties into Hampton Roads, on the Norfolk
j side, and is about 10 miles from Norfolk and
i about six miles from Fort Monroe—and vessels
cannot pass from Fort Monroe to Norfolk with
out passing around this point—which makes it
so important for the protection of Norfolk and
the Navy Yard, Grafton is in Western Virginia,
at the junction of the Parkersburg branch of tbo
Richmond and Ohio railroad, and about 75 or 80
miles east of Parkersburg and Wheeling—and
within ten hours run by railroad of Harper's
Ferry.
Pfailiippi, where our morning dispatches state
an engagement took place, is a small place on
1 the rai.road, a few miles East of Grafton.
Oup. Foreign Relations.— The New York
Herald, of Tharsday, the 13th inst., editorially
saya ;
“ Secretary Seward's dispatch to Mr. Dayton
is agai a criticised in a very sneering manner
by the London Times, and another English
journal does not hesitate to class Mr. Lincoln’s
Cabinet and the insurgent Southern conclave
of rebels as the two American factions. Lord
Palmerston says, through his London organ, the
Post, that Canada will soon become the centre of
commerce and emigration for the American con
tinent. Our compilation from the foreign files,
given to-day, in such connection, ia worthy of
serious consideration, and exhibits a manifest
tendency towards an unfriendly policy to the
Government at Washington, which, if carried
oat, may result in giving England a severe les
son, for which she is probably not prepared.
Mr. Lindsay, M. P., who recently visited this
country, in a speech to his constituents at Sun
derland, has gone far towards indoctrinating
them with the idea of the right of secession at
the South and the necessity of maintaining the
rebel cause. This gentleman advises France and
England to step forward and proclaim the inde
pendence of the Southern Confederacy as the
only means of allaying the thirst for blood
which he a ays prevails at the North. The Lo n
cloif Morning Post, Lord Palmerston’s organ,
asserts that the Southern States were tie facto in
dependent at the moment.
More Trooi>s. —The Calhoun Rifles, Cant. W.
Furlow, one hundred and eleven strong, arrived
in Macon, on Friday night, and pitched their
tents, for a day, at Camp Oglethorpe. This corps
is a part of Col. Conner's Regiment, and left Sat
urday night for Richmond,
The Muckalee Guards, Capt. Hawkins, of
Sumter, will be through Macon, on their way
North, about the middle of this week.
Capt. Cutis’ noble company c-f Flying Artille
ry, of over 100 stalwart men, are now awaiting
orders to leave for the seat es war. The absence
of equipment, (guns and horses) should not
longer keep such an effici nt arm of the service
from the field. Capt. Cutts was in the Mexican
war and has had much experience in artillery.
We trust that the War Department tfiil soon
give him a prominent place in <he picture.—Ma

Remedy for all Snakebites.— We have been
furnished with the following by Dr. B. Miller, of
Hannahatchce. The doctor has been long in
practice, and on the strength of his reputation,
we give it publication, ho says lie has used it
successfully five days after the bite, and that it
has never failed in his haadg:
Treatment— Take the bark of the root of iho
prickly ash, make a strong decoction and give,
aay, on® gill of it every fifteen or twenty minutes
until it produces vomiting, suspend it #*en, for
2 or 3 hours, and repeat it as before, at the same
time make a poultice of the same and apply
it to the bitten part raoisiened with a little sweet
milk, if convenient, In recent bitten cases, it
cures in a few hours.
The Enemy's Report es the Bethel Bailie,
From the New York Herald of the 11th, we
copy the following:
The Seventh, Colonel Benders, was establish
ed in a cjorps of wood at an angle of a road, and
their fire was quite destructive. Sergeant Carey,
of company A, Colonel Townsend’s regiment,
was killed, Lieutenant Stone, of the same regi
ment, a sergeant and nine privates, wer® wound
ed, some seriously. The fir® was returned, and
the Seventh fired one charge of grape from a
howitzer, which passed over the heads of the
Third, doing no harm.
As far as I have heard, tfa« object of tb@expo
dition has been accomplished.
The conduct of the men has been most admir
able under the hottest fire, The naval brigada
received the highesisompSiment for their efficient
conduct. In working the boats they were of
the greatest service throughout the night and
day.
The contest at Great Bethel was mors? severs
than was at first apprehended, The enemy were
so strongly entrenched in and protected by bat
teries that after over two hours and a half severe
fighting, our ammunition giving out, we were
obliged to fall back, which vie did in perfect
order.
The details, as near as can be ia the confusion
ascertained, are as follows:
Brigadier General Pierce, with the First,
Second and Third New York, from this post,
joined with detachments from Newport News
from the Fourth Massachusetts, First Vermont
and Seventh and Ninth New York, with two
light field pieces under Lieutenant Grabble and
a squad of regulars, drove into the enemy num
bering four thousand men, and soon came on
their position, protected by the fire of six heavy
batteries, mounted with six and twelve pound
howitzers and heavy rifled cannon. The engage
ment immediately becam® warm, the guns under
Lieut. Grebble returning the intensely hot fir®
! from the enemy's gun**.
After some time General Pierce gave the order
to charge on the battery, and Colonel Duryea’s
Zouaves gallantly marched in quick time under
a scorching fire up to near the rampants of the
battery, when a broad ditch that intervened
which could not be passed, whan the gallant
lads fell back.
Colonel Townsend's regiment also went nearly
to the battery, but meeting the game obstruction
were also compelled to retire.
After over two hours’ hot contest the ammuni
tion for th® field pieces and the muskets gave
out and the order was given to retire, which was I
effected in perfect order and safety,
Our less in killed and wounded is about seven
ty*five amongst the latter I mention:
Captain Kilpatrick, of the Zouaves, was shot
in the leg.
Lieut. Dumont, company E, of the same regi
ment, had a bayonet wound in the not seri
ous and others slightly wounded.
The following is from the New York Tribune’s
dispatch:
At 10 o’clock Cols. Duryea, Townsend and
Bendix having formed a junction, reached the
Big Bethel, where they found the enemy in
force, and engaged them. Meanwhile, Gen.
Butler had sent tor reinforcement.
On engaging the enemy, they were found to
be strongly fortified, and in great force, with
heavy cannon. Our forces maintained the con
flict with determined courage for more than two
hours, but finding that it would be impossible to
carry the enemy's battery they in good order
fell back towards Hampton. It is impossible to
gain anything reliable as to the loss.
, Tho enemy numbered between three and five
thousand. Their battery hud twenty guns. Some
ot them the Whitworth gun. The battle raged
i.nree hours. Our men retired only when it be
came evident that the enemy’s battery could not
ne carried unless supported by artillery. They
retired in good order, and the euemy wss in no
condition to pursue.
Tt" 01 do,, not «.
c.e-i.fty, of which not over twenty are fatalities. 1
Ne prominent volunteer officer wai killed. Capt.
Kilpatrick, of the Zouaves, received a bad flesh
wound in the calf of his leg. Lieut. Grabble, of
the regulars, is reported killed. The battery was
located so that it could not be carried except
through a marsh. A charge was attempted re
peatedly.
•* From the Enquirer.
Col. James J. M. Chambers for Governor.
Editors Enquirer: While we all know the
disinclination of the public mind, in times like
these to suffer itself diverted from the channel
of thought which very naturally it ia wont to
pursue, and while doubtless there are those who
even feel themselves in some measure ineapaci"
tated calmly and leisurely to consider this or
that question of State policy, yet it behooves us
as a prudent people,and as Georgians to have an
©ye to the successful promotion of our .varied so
cial and material interests, as well ss the men
: through whom as rulers tiwse interests may be
most effectually subserved.
A few months more will impose upon the pops
ular voice of Georgia the selection of a Govern
or for the ensuing term. Happily for us tlere
is to be no partisan strife-—no basis upon which
to recognize old party lines. Then let ns take
such steps as will demonstrate the foregoing truth
and, regardless of any supposed claim upon
our suffrages on account of past services, let
us cast about to secure one of whom it may
again be appropriately said, “The man and the
hour have met.” We think the occasion very
plainly indicates th 9 man in the person of Col.
JAMES M. [CHAMBERS, of Columbus; and
we think we shall be able to produce good and
sufficient reasons why this Oincinnatus should
be called forth from his retirement and honored
with the undivided and enthusiastic support of
the people of his native, State. Posses
sed of the Eolid experience and informa
tion of a well spent life of sixty years; gifted
with an intellect at once clear, practical and
comprehensive; a man of the moat enlightened
public spirit, unbending integrity, Roman firm
ness, and modest dignity— of moral and Chris
tian virtues proverbial wherever he is known
in short, amply filling that strict Jeffersonian
test of qualification for office, vis: "honest, faith
ful and capable," he stands pre-eminent as one
who would adorn with peculiar grace, dignity
and ability the Gubernatorial chair of Georgia.
Honored in early life with the Confidence of the
people of the county in which he redded, he
proved himself a faithful and efficient legislator;
and should he now be elevated to the position of
Chief Magistrate, an administration of prudence,
firmness, energy and economy will vindicate the
wisdom and appreciation of the people ia their
selection. Shouia he consent for his name to
go before the people, we feel assured that other
aspirants will, with one accord, decline a contest
with such undisputed worth. For years, if we
are rightly informed, h© has been no partisan,
and cherishing none himself, would have array
ed against him none of that old party rancor
which unavoidably would be left lingering in tha
bosoms of many, against any leader" fresh from
the political arena. Wo present him as thet
“People s Candidate for Governor and as one
in every particular calculated to satisfy the de
mands of
NO PARTY MEN.
Resources of tin Worth.— The New York Day
Booh says:
The North is now in the position of a rich man
who suddenly ceases to get any richer, yet keeps
on spending. The result is he draws on his capi
tal, and is daily growing poorer. He has nothing
that grows or is being produced. The moment
trade stops, all stops. Not so the planter. The
earth brings forth its accustomed yield, and if A.
IL in New York city don’t want the privilege of
shipping his Cotton, or the brokerage on it, Ac.,
why B. C. in London or Liverpool and New Or
leans will.
As for positive resources, the South and West
are the jrnly sections of our country that have
any, We do not raise food enough lor our sup
port in the Northern and Middle States, and'if
, we ha'VD no commerce we cannot afford to buy it.
; Population must move off; it must emigrate, as it
.j always has and always will, to such localities as
j afford employment or the means of getting food,
jj To talk about the resources of the * North is to
talk about the resources of a tailor who depends
upon his customers for support, and who, when
they leave him, his resources leave him. An ag
ricultural community, however, have real re
sources which cannot bs cut off, unless Provi
dence falsifies His word * that seed-time and har
vest shall not fail/' It would do the puree-proud
North good to reflect that the richest commercial
emporiums the world ever saw are are now as bar- '
ren and desolate ss a wilderness,
"Misplaced Confidence.”— Ilnder this head
ing the New T'ork Express observes :
It was a favorite notion with not a few or our
cotemporaries quite lately that, if the present :
British Ministry would be so infatuated as to j!
espouse the cause of the Montgomery Confedera
cy, it would find its speedy account ia ejection
from office. The opposition led on by tbs Earl
of Derby, it was never doubted, would be too
happy to avail themselves of Palmerston and
Russell's leaning towards the Cotton Confedera
cy, to make them uncomfortable, at least in their
places, if not ultimately compel her Majesty to
geek other advisers. This expectation was not j
an unreasonable one. It was predicated upon
tbs fallacy that tha British anti-slavery feeling
was something more substantial than & ssatL
ment, and that in a band-to-hand contest with
a "Government," the chief corner-stone of which,
| as acknowledged by Mr. Vice President Steph
ens, is negro slavery, English sympathy must
be on the side of th® North. Never a
greater delusion, as every body may now see.
The Earl of Derby, so far from espousing "the
cause of freedom,” and making that causa alever
with which to oust Palmerston and Rusasll from
office, has taken the first opportunity ♦© go a step
or two in advance of them even, in favor of the
Confederates! Witness his speech, on the 16th,
ia favor of treating privateers, not as pirates, but
(wo had almost said) as gentlemen. That
speech, now, together with th® cold shoulder
Lord Brougham has given them, ought to cp n
the eves of the Beechers, and Cheevers, her© at
home, to the truth wehavs been trying (in vain)
to impress upon them—that the Abolitionists of
Exeter Hall havefor years only been using them
to bring about a dissolution of the Union—and
that all their lip sympathyfor "LVerfcy and Hu
manity" was but a bubble, which would collapse
—as it has already collapsed—the moment senti
ment came in contact with interest.
Items from Various Sources.— -A gentleman
from Richmond informs the Petersburg Express
that tbs venerable Bishop John Early, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, was in Phillippi
on the day of the recent battle, having jnst re
turned from the session of some Western Confer
ence over whiehhe had presided. We understand
that Bishop Early reports 123 as the number of
Lincolnites who fell in that engagement. This
may be received as entirely reliable.
It is rumored that another requisition for
2,000 Georgia troops has been made on Governor
Brown.
We learn from the Dahionega Signal, of the
Bth inst., that Harrison W. Riley is organizing a
Brigade to enter the service of the Confederate
States.
Gen. McCulloch has taken command of the
Western forces, and has made requisitions for
six regiments upon Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana
and the Indian Territory. Albert Pike goes with
him as Indian Commissioner. 4
