The Macon Citizen of Monday publishes the
following extract from a letter written by a
Captain in the Central Blues:
Rbsbrvoir Camp Ground, |
Richmond, Va., July 3, 1861. j
We have received marching orders. Johnson
on old U. S. officer, has been appointed Colonel
of our regiment, and Col. Conner next in rank.—■
The regiment was unanimously in favor of Con
ner. We are ordered to Laurel Hill, within
about 20 miles of the Ohio river. The distance
is about 230 miles from Richmond, and 130 of
this to march. It Is doubtful whether we can
get our baggage across, w® start in a few
days.
The health of the company is very good, and
all are inline spirits. R.
From the Richmond Enquirer.
The subjoined correspondence exhibits so
commendable a spirit in our sister State of Geor

Treasurt Department, >
Ricumond, June 28th, 1861 j
Ills Excellency, Jefferson Davis,
President of the Con federate States :
Sir j I ask leave to bring to your notice the
enclosed letter from the President of the Plan
ters’ Bank of Savannah, Ga. Most of the banks
throughout our country, have liberally contribu
ted to tho aid of the Government—among them,
the Planters’ Bank of Savannah has already
done its lull share in every particular. The gen
erous proposal, therefore, of this last letter, to
surrender tho whole yield of its circulation to
the Treasury note3 of tho Government, exhibits
so self-sacrificing a spirit of patriotism that I
consider it a proper matter to report especially to
your Excellency.
Os courge it will bo tho duty of this Depart
ment, so to shape its course, as to produce the
least possible injury to those who are influenced
by motives so pure and elevated, and it is not
expected that we shall require any such sacri
flee as that which is tendered. But the parties
making the tender, are not less entitled to the
respect and grateful acknowledgments of every
citizen of our Confederacy.
With much respect,
Your obedient servant,
(Signed) C. G. MEMMINGER,
Secretary of the Treasury.

tny thanks for the very favorable expression of
opinion in regard to the course of this bank. I

done by this baDk to further the views of the
Confederacy, will be most cheerfully and prompt
ly dune. If the same policy is pursued by the
other banks which has been adopted for the g >v
crnntfent of this bank—namely, to give up all
circulation and to use Treasury Notes exclusive

be subject to but little inconvenience.

flis Cotton Plasters Convention.
Although there were several small shades of
difference between the members of the Com
mittee of twelve as the details, they all agreed to
the main features of the plan. The Committee

by.

engaged in Agricultural pursuits are earnestly
invited to he present. —Macon Telegraph, B rh.
From tho Baltimore Exchange, July 2.
The Star Chamber in America!...The City in Pos
session of the Military Forces.
Events suceed each other at present, with
such startling rapidity t! at it is scarcely worth
while to do more than chronicle them. Each
day it is thought that the minions of the Black
Abolition Republican party have perpetrated
the crowning outrage of the age; but the suc
ceeding one witnesses some other act of military
usurpation and tyranny, more infamous and out
rageous than any that have preceded it.
xesterday, at an early hour, the greatest ex
citement prevailed. Men hurried to and fro;—
crowds gathered on the streets and business
was almost wholly suspended. A large milita
ry force had marched into the city, in the night,
and arrested thß Board of Police. Rumors
floated about a3 to tho arrest of several other
leading gentlemen, Troops and batteries were
stationed at all tho important positions of the
city. Tho facta, as near as we can learn, arc as
follows:
A detachment Col. MoreheaiTs regiment un
der his command, six hundred strong proceeded
first to tho residence of John W. Davis, Esq.,
on Montgunery street,near William street, On
ringing tUe bell Mr. Davis answered from one cf
the upper windows, and asked the cause of the
visit. lie was informed that they had come to
arrest him and desired him to dress himselt and
come down. Mr. Davis immediately complied,
and in a few moments w&3 seated in the hack.
This arrest took place about two o’clock in the
morning. The command then proceeded to the
residence of Chas. D. Hinks, Esq. No. 257 West
Lombard street. The bell was rung and quick
ly followed by a heavy rap on the door. For
some days past a young child of Mr. Kinks’ fa
mily had been sick, and at the time the bell was
rung Mrs. Ilinks was up administering to its
wants. She went to the window and observed
the files of soldiers, and instantly surmised the
object of the visit. She asked what wanted
when an officer replied that they had come to
arrest Mr. Hinks. Mrs. Ilinks requested them
to make as little noi.-o as possible as there was
sickness in thß family. The officer replied he
couid not help that; Mr. Hinks was his prison
er and he wanted him. Mrs. H then awoke her
husband. He wtnt to the window and told the
officer that he would be down in a few minutes.
For more than a year past Mr. Hinks has been
in very delicate health, and he occupied some
few minutes in dressing. Tho officer at the door
became impatient and demanded that tho door
should be opened, or he would burst in. Ho
blew a whistle, ana ten men answered it and
came to the porch. By this time Mr. IS inks had
got down stairs and opened the door. lie com
plained that the officer had been so impatient,
and asked where ho was to be taken. The re
ply was, “you'll see " Mr. Ilinks said that he
desired that his family should know, when the
officer replied, “Fort McHenry.” Oa entering
the carriage he found Mr. Davis there. The col
umn faced about, and the line of march was ta
ken up for the Fort.
Col. Jones of the 6th Massachusetts Infantry,
proceeded with several hundred men to the res
idence of Chas. Howard, Esq., in Cathedral st.
near Read. Cn the ringing the front door bell,
Mr. Howard appeared at the window, and being
informed of the object of the visit, after the ne
cessary delay of a few moments came down and
delivered himself up, when he was placed in a ;
hack and escorted to Fort McHenry.
Another command, of about five hundred
men, marched to the House of Mrs. Ducatel in
Saratoga street, and rang the bell. Mrs. D.
made her appearance, and was informed that
they had come for the purpose of arresting Mr.
Gatchell. Mr. G. who was necessarily detained
for a few minutes, not making atpeedy appear
ance, the officer in command became very impa
tient and rapped loudly at the door. Mrs. Du
catel appeared each time at the window and
told him not to be in a hurry, that gentlemen
must have time to dress, and that she thought
there was no cause of uneasiness, as certainly five
hundred soldiers ought to be able to capture one
unarmed elderly gentleman. I his did not allay
the impatience ot the officer who knocked again
several times. Mr. G. at last appeared. A3 he
came in the street several revolvers were drawn
by the military, Air. G. made do returnk except
as he entered the carriage, when he said q lietly
that it was certainly a great array for the capture
of an old man of sixty-two years of age
On the arrival of these gcmlemeu at the Fort
they wore confined together with Marshal Kane
and Mr. Merry man in three very small rooms.
No attenti n was paid to their comtort, nor were
they provided with or asked if ibey desired bed
ding or food. They were visited during the day by
Major Brown, Mr. Willis, Mr. Pitts, aud several
friends. Lattr in the day orders were seat by
the gentlemen themselves to Mr. Jenkins, cab
inet-maker, to send them down the necessary bed
ding.
Thirs is every appearance of great uneasiness
exhibited at th j Fort. Chevnux de ft as are be
ing thrown up and active preparations being
made to protect the Fort from an assault. At
any other preiod than the present, the ridiculous
alarm exhibited by the troop3 in and around the
city would be a matter of much amusement.
Yesterday morning when the office of the Board
of Police was thrown open,“Richard Pryor, wish
half dozen of the vice-police, entered and took
possession, when they waited for the arrival of
William F. McKewen, clerk of the Board. He
arrived about eight o’clock when Richard Pryor
made a demand for tha keys of the safe, de.-k,
and other articles. Mr. McEewen said that he
did not acknowledge Pryor as an officer and
would not and. liver up the keys. Pryor then in
formed him that he was a prisoner. Information
of the arrest was sent to Provost Marshal Kenly,
who came up io the rooms and made a demand
oa Mr. McKtwen for the keys. He delivered
t iem to Col. Kenly and asked for a receipt for
them. The Colonel told him to write a receipt
and he would sign it. This Mr. McKewen did
stating in th© receipt that he had delivered the
keys while a prisoner in the h iuds cf Col. Kenly.
On reading this Col. Kenlp refused to sis.a it,Mr.
McEewen kou and no: accept any other kind
Consequently there was none given, and Mr.
McKewen was told that he could depart.
Previous to the arrival of McKewen, Mr. Holl
ingsworth Hinks. gon of Mr. Charles D. Ilinks,
entered the rooms expecting to find some of the
municipal police in charge, lie was placed
under arrest and held until his release was o -
dered by Provost Marshal Kenly. Ail day ye -
to day a squad of vice police hold possession if
the building. It is reported that Marshal Kenly
will occupy the rooms as his quarters.
The following is the proclamation under which
these arrests were perpetrated:
Headquarters, Dkp’t Annapolis, >
Fort McHenry, July 1. j
In pursuance of orders issued from the Head
quarters of the Army at Washington, for the
preservation of the public peace in this Depart
ment, I have arrested and do now detain in cus
tody of the United Statos, the late members of
the Board of Police—Messrs. Chirles Howard,
William Gatchell, Charles Hinks and John W.
incidents of the past week afford
ed tulljaatification for this order. The Head
quarters under the charge of tbe Board, when
abandoned by the officers, resembled in some re
spools a concealed arsenal. After pubiie recog
mtion and protest against tbe “suspension of
Uwk fttaotioas,” they eoatlaued. their unieai
daily. Upon a forced and unwarrantable con
struction of my proclamation of the 28th ult.,
they declared that the Police law was suspended,
and the Police officers and men put off duty for
the present, intending to leave the city without
any Police protection whatever. They refused
to recognize the officers and men necessarily
selected by the Provost Marshal for its protec
tion, and held subject to their orders, now and
hereafter, the old Police force, a large body of
armed men, for some purpose, not known to the
Government, and inconsistent with its peace and
security. To anticipate any intentions or or—
dtrs on their part, I have placed a portion of tho
force under my command within the city. I
disclaim, on the part of the Government I rep
resent all desire, intention and purpose to in
terfere in any manner whatever, with the ordi
nary municipal affairs of the city of Baltimore.
V* henever a loyal citizen can be named who will
exeeu e its Police laws with impartiality and in
good faith to the United States, the military
force will bewithdiawn from the central parts
of the municipality at once. No soldier will be
permitted in the city, except under regulations
satisfactory to the Marshal; and if any so ad
mitted to violate the municipal law, they shall
bo punished according to the civil law, by the
Civil tribunals.
NATH’L P. BANKS,
Major General Commafidlng,
Interesting from Richmond
We take the following from a letter to Judge
Ca3cn, published in the Macon Citisen of the
Bth instant.
There are only 5,000 troops iiere now—less
than have been here since we arrived.
Mr. John Fletcher Heath, the distinguished
gentlemen from Georgia, arrived cn Thursday
night, with 12 good able bidied soldiers whom
we have mustered in. This makes our cumber
114, and we flatter ourselves and are flattered
by others, as having the b st, most quiet, well
behaved, orderly company from Georgia or any
other S*ate, and well drilled for the time they
have been drilling. It is thought here by the
knowing ones that an awful battle will soon be
foughi somewhere in the neighborhood of Man
assas, There are 60,000 men under Beauregard
and 80,000 under Gen. Johnson. Beauregard
is in about ten miles of Alexandria; Johnston is
at Winchester, where they can concentrate
their forces at short notice. All of the troops
are not under their imraedi ite command, but
can be concentrated in a short time. Governor
Wise is traveling through the Western portion
of Virginia raising a legion of men, carrying
them with him as he goes. He is exciting the
people; they are gathering their shot guns, ri
fles, and every weapon likely to produce death.”
There are over 40,000 men now in Virginia
ready and waiting to pitch in; ell they want is
arms. We cannot give you any news in refer
encedo fights, SKirmishes, &c., as you get the
correct news as soon as we do.
There are something over 900 men now em
ployed in the Tredeg* Iron Work?, where they
turn off over 10 ca: non per day, from 6 to 134
pounder?—Coiutuoiada, Howitzers, Field pieces,
Rifled Cannon and Shell, Shot and Balis enough
to supply an army of 600,000 men. Al«o the
musket stock her® is mads in a novel way.
The piece of wood is put into the machine, and
it comes out a finished stools; 500 aro turned out
in a day.
The manufacture cf cartridges ia another show.
They are made by the women and girls. Be
tween 300 and 400 are employed; about 80,000
are turned off per day. Thera are 1200 males
constantly employed here, conveying the war
munitions, stores, &c.
The Penitentiary hands {470 white and black)
are employed in the manufacture of tents, shoes,
axes, knapsacks, canteens, cartridge boxes,
clothes, and everything pertaining to the army.
More societies of ladies sewing and making up
clothing, « 0., for the soldiers, than you can
iraagim; high and low, rich and poor, all tbo
Churehe3—every shop of every description, are
in the employ of the Government.
Retails of Tuesday’s Battle Near Wiiliamspeit.
Several persons present at tho recent engage
ments near Martinsburg concur, substantially in
the following accounts.
On Tuesday last the Yankee forces, number
ing near 10,000, while approaching Martinsburg,
were met by Col. Jackson’s advance, consisting
of a portion of Col. Harper's Regiment from Au
gusta county, about 700 strong, and a squadron
of cavalry under Col. Stewart. The Federal
forces, excepting Sherman*s boasted battery, oc
cupied a forest. The Confedera‘e troops advan
ced, under the protection of a rail fence, to with
in three hundred yards of the enemy.
Col. Stuart, with Capt. Patrick’s company of
Cavalry, from Augusta, opened tho en.agement
by capturing the van of the enemy, consisting of
an entire company of Pennsylvanians; a sharp
firing was kept up for an hour and a half be
tween the main bodies, with a loss to the enemy
estimated at the minimum of 67 killed, 85 woun
ded, and 53 prisoners; when tho firing ceased,
and Col. Jackson fell back slowly to a stronger
position nearer Martinsburg, with a loss cn his
side of three killed and five wounded,
Gen. Johnston, being notified, advanced from
Winchester with his forces, and reliable reports
received yesterday say, that in conjunction with
Col. Jackson’s force, he three several times re
pulsed the attack? of Gen. Pstterscn’s entire ar
my of about 20,000, and drove him into Mar
tiaburg. Gen. Johnston has sines succeeded in I
throwing his army between Gen. Patterson and
tho Potomac, thus cutting off retreat, while rein
forcements are constantly arriving from Beau
regard’s camp at Manassas in sufficient numbers
to insure the complete disoomuturo,if not capture
of the entire Ilessian force,which may God grant.
—Richmond Dispatch , 6th,
English Opinions. —The following extract
from a private letter written by a gentleman
who left the United States to return to bis Eng
lish home in the latter part of May, copied from
the Baltimore Exchange:
For some time past English journals have had
no information from tbe Svath very direct. All
the war news,they receive is through tho North
ern press, which is unnecessarily ec parts ®na
clouded by prejudice. This has had *n influ
ence on the English mind j for while thus de
prived of any sav® a modified view of the merits
and conduct of the contest, people here are dis
posed to look leniently Uj on the Southern cause.
I hear it said frequently, “ w e cannot judge of
the merits of either side, having but one to look
at." When you know that no voice has yet pub
licly vindicated the cause of the South, especial
ly upon the constitutional merits, nor attacked
the administration upon its alleged unconstitu
tional acts, you will not wonder that apathy ob
tains among a people like this, which cares little
whether the United States are all free or siave
States. Say what you will, Englishmen are slow
to judge, and must hear both sides. With this po
litical indifference, he cry is for cotton, and, take
my woidfor it, cotton they wili have.
Vandalism.—The Fredericksburg Herald, al
luding to the destruction of the house of Abra
ham Hooe, below Mathias' Point, by the Federal
scoundrels, says:
Thi9 residence has been in the Hooe family foi
many generations. It was respeoted by the ene
my during the Revolution, and during the war
of IS ! 2. Although the British had it in their
power to burn it down, yet they proved their
magnanimity by allowing it to stand unharmed.
It was left for these brethren of ours—these mem
bers, until a recent period, of a eommon Govern
ment, to tara their vandal hands upon private
property.
