Importations for the South through Ken
tucky.—Governor Harris of Tennessee, having
been addressed by some citizens of Robertson
county, on the Kentucky line, informing him
that it was the intention of the people to stop
freight trains on the Edgefield and Kentucky
Railroad, loaded with articles not needed by the
South, but that they would await his views on
the subject, he replies by deprecating any such
action on the part of the people, adding:
And as no order interdicting the importation of
merchandize to Tennessee has been issued by the
Commander in Chief, or another military com
mander, you will allow the merchandize hereto
fore stopped at Springfield, to be forwarded to
the owners and consignees. The propriety of
prohibiting the importation of Cincinnati whisky
and other articles, not of absolute necessity to
the South, shall be considered and decided by
the proper authorities in duo time, but certainly
the people of Springfield will not claim the right
to determine for the people of the whole South,
what may or may not be necessary to their com
fort or convenience. So, until this question is
determined by the proper authorities, you will
not inter ere with the passage of freights over
the E. & K. Radroad.
What Texas has Done the Past Year.—
In the commercial review of the Houston Tele
graph, of the 7tb, we find the annexed state
ment :
We have wheat and corn enough in Texas this
year to furnish us with breadstuff's for more than
two years. We have made enough wool to clothe
half the Confederate States. We shall make
fully five hundred thousand bales of cotton with
present prospect?, and we shall make unless the
crop is injured, far more than it appears to be at
present, from eight to ten thousand hogsheads of
sugar, and quite likely twelve thousand. Texas
is in as good**. condition as any country need
be.
News Extraordinary.—The New York Her
ald of the 23d of Aug. contains the following an
nouncement extraordinary :
There are pretty strong indications that Geor
gia is about to secede from the Southern Con
federacy. Gov. Brown has recalled all the troops
of that State from Virginia, and in a recent pro
clamation he says there is a disposition on the
part of the new government to ignore State rights
and he feared that at the end of th 9 present war
the great battle of State sovereignty would have
to be fought over again
MANASSAS CORRESPONDENCE.
Manassas, August 23
Messrs. Editors :
In compliance with the well known wishes of
friends at home, as well as with the solicitations
of some in the army. I begin a communication,
which if it be made welcome may be followed by
others of a similar character :
Now, that every other study gives place to that
of military affairs and every other interest,
either private or public, is more or less absorb*
ed in the one which is looking to the result of
the present struggle to establish our nationality,
it is not unreasonable to suppose that any relia
ble coinmnnication from a soldier will always be
entertaining. Every father and mother are anx
ious to hear often from their patriotic sons—ev
ery wife thinks frequently of the time, when the
mail shall bring some news from her gailant hus
band ; and if instead of a private letter they
should see a printed account of the company or
regiment, to which those dear friends beloßg, it
may be peculiarly gratifying; for no kind of fame
is dearer than that of the military here, as none
is more eagerly sought, or gained, when gained
at ail, at a greater personal risk. Whether or
not I may be permitted to afford such gratifica
tion to any one, “let time and chance determine;”
but I promise that if I do net gratify any rea
sonable curiosity, the faul; shall be chargeable to
to a lack of ability and not to alack of inclina
tion.
To say that this regiment—2 Georgia, Col.
Paul J. Semmes—has attracted its full share cf
attention from those who have hid an opportu
nity of witnessing its proficiency in drilling ex
ercises, is certainly no exaggeration, nor is it a
groundless boast to assert that a great deal will
be expected from it when cHled into the field of
battle. There is certainly no commander cf a
regiment who manifests greater pleasuie than
Col. Semmes' in witnessing a well performed
evolution and there are but lew who can so readi
ly detect a blunder.
It is sometimes thought that men must bo
hardened—their finer sensibilities blun-ted by
camp-life before they are fit to go into battle but
your correspondent respectfully questions the
correctness of such conclusion. It is true that
familiarity with any duty makes its ready per
formance more certain, but to admit more than
this is to give others good reason to doubt our
belief that it is right to take up arms under any
circumstances ; for if tho cause itself be just
and noble, men ought not to grow worse while
advocating it. In support of tha above opinion
it may well be recollected that the most rigidly
moral and strictly 7 pious soldiers have often
shown themselves the most fearless. But apart
from any considerations of the injustice or the
righteousness of our cause there are influences
which develop the less amiable traits of main
and if a bright light appear more brilliant as tho
surrounding darkness becomes more intense, the
pious soldier has opportunities of a very favor
able kind for exerting influence for good among
his comrades. CALMAR.
J£ag"We soon will gather and garner a crop o«
previsions promising to be unusually abundant,
and the farmers and planters throughout the
South will be preparing to convert their#meat
stocks of all kinds into meat.
Shall they be prevented or hindered in a work
so necessary for the whole country and for con
tinued maintenance of our armies, by the ex
travagant extortion of a few salt monopolies ?
Let our enterprising, honest men hurry up
salt «rorks and leave the speculators to the care
of their own reflections and the indignation of
an outraged people.— Charleston Courier.
The Redoubtable Major,_Si.em.mek. —The
Cincinnati papers announce the arrival in that
city from Chicago, of Major Slemmer of Fort
Pickens notoriety. It is stated that in ailprob
obility he will be sent to join Gen. Rosencrantz
in Western Virginia. Os course, the Major, was
“lionised” by the Porkopolitans, and the object
of their high admiration.
Speculating on the Confederacy.
The Atlanta Intelligencer boasts of a finau
cial feat of Gov. Brown’s which any man of
proper sensibility would wish to bide from the
public ins’eadof parading it as a worthy trans
action. It says that Gov. Brown bought two
hundred tons of saltpetre and a .hundred and
twenty five barrels of sulphur, kept it until the
price rose and then “sold it to the Secretary of
War, for the use,of the Confederate States, at
fifty per cent advance on its entire cost to tie i
State!”
Is there a parallel in Christendom to this little
piece of Yankeeism ? In a time of war, when
the country is straitened for means to support its
soldiery and drive back the invaders, we find
Gov. Brown actually speculating on its necessi
ties, and then bragging of his cuteness 1 Where
is the Georgian, with this single exception, who
would make money out of the Confederacy at a
time like this? Ten thousand times had our
brave and generous people rather Gov. Brown
had given the whole consignment to President
Davis as a present.
For common decency’s sake, we hope the next
Legislature, among its first acts, will promptly
refund the usury, and throw off the disgrace from
the character of our State. — Sav. R*p.
Enforcing the Blockade —The New York
Journal of Commerce says in regard to the effect
of Southern privateering upon the ccmmerce of
the North :
The shipping interest of New York is becom
ing restive under the ravages of privateers, who
have already destroyed property to an incredible
amount, and are inflicting still heavier losses by
driving freights from American bottoms to the
protection of foreign flags. From a record of
captures by Confederate privateers, carefully
kept, we find that not less than sixty-nine ves
sels of all descriptions have been taken, (inclu
ding eighteen seized in Southern ports,) the val
ue of which, exclusive of cargoes, cannot fa 1
short of $1,500,000.

McCulloch, it will be remembered,
in bis official report estimated the enemy’s killed
at Oak Hill at eight hundred, and the wounded
at one thousand. The Fort Smith Times, of tho
20th ult., in alluding to this fact, attributes the
low estimate to the modesty of the General, and
asserts that a number of reliable persons who
were on the field all agree in placing the killed
at not less than fifteen hundred. The Times
adds: “II Spccht, an honest German of this
place, belonging to the Belle Point Guards, who
returned home yesterday, says he was on the
field until four o’clock on the day of the battle,
and was all over it since, lie says that for two
and a half miles tho bodies were strewn thick,
and in some places lyiDg in heaps. He estimates
the loss at between fifteen hundred and two
thousand. The Federals reported between three
and four thousand missing at roll call.”
War on the Banks. —There are two facts
which wo wish to place in juxtaposition, for the
honest men of Georgia to reflect upon ;
The organs of Gov. Brown are engaged in
their old game of villifying and abusing the
Banks. This is the first fact.
The last Legislature appropriated a million of
dollars to arm the State and aid in the struggle
for independence, and Gov. Brown has been fur
nished by the bunks with every dollar he has
usedforthaipurpo.se. Tho bonds could not be
sold, and they patriotically came forward and
supplied the money. This is tho second fact.
Now, let an honest and grateful people judge
between the Banks and their tradueers.”

Organize non thf. Coast.—lion. Judge
Floyd returned to ibis ci r y on Friday, from
Richmond, where he had been on a visit for the
purpose of obtaining a commission to organize a
Legion of Voltigeurs for service in \ irg nie.—
The authorities refused to grant a con mission
for that purpbse, from the fact that no more moun
ts troops will be received from Georgia for the ar
my in Virginia. Judge I toy'd says that the au
thorities advised him to return ta Georgia and
raise a regiment for the defence of our coast,
which is confidently believed by the authorities
at Richmond will bo menaced by the enemy du
ring the fall and winter. It is the desire of the
President and his Cabinet that the people of
Georgia and South Carolina should organize a
force sufficient for this purpose, without inter
ferring with the operations in Virginia.—Cov
