Tableaux Viyakt.—We understand that the ladies of this city and vicinity are preparing to give a Series of Tableaux at Temperance Ilall to-morrow night, of which the proceeds of course, are for the sohliers. In point of interest this entertainment promises to excel any yet given, for tne same object (for tho ladies are always progressive) and that our generous and patriotic citizens will by their presence and sym pathy encourage the dear creatures in their laud able efforts to promote a good and noble cause. The exhibition will be interspersed vocal and instrumental music. Members of the “Russell Guards,” and others, who desire to attach themselves to the company, are notified to meet at Crawford, Rus sell county, on Wednesday, 11 th September, to participate in the election of offiesrs.

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. PEYTON H. COLQUITT, ) ,? ditor , JAMES W. WARREN. ( Edltor $5 TER ANNUM. T elegraphic. Special to the Columbus Times. Montreal, Sept. 3. The North American has arrived. Sales of three days 50,000 bales, the market closing firm at an advance of %. Consols 90>s to 90)4. Fair Orleans cotton at 9%. Sales on Friday 24,000 bales. The rupture between Austria and Hungary is now regarded as complete. New York, Sept. 3. The Surveyor of this port haa seized 23 ves sels owned wholly or in part in the South. Tho Washington Post says that the pickets are closing, i here are many exciting rumors, some saying the Confederates had crossed at A quia Creek. Louisville, Sept. 3. There is nothing in Eastern reports but glo rification over llatteras. Butler says that Hat teras Light may again send forth its cheering rays to the storm beaten Mariner. Anew department is to be created for Butler. 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.” Savvnnah Itepublicun. The Howl for Blood., .Tlie Newspapers, New York, Aug. 27. Ala meeting yesterday afternoon of the Pres idents of the Banks of the City of New York, it was resolved that Mr. Stephens, President of the Bank of Commerce, select a committee of five to proceed with him to Washington-do enforce up on the President and his Cabinet the resolutions previously passed by the Bank Presidents, that the conditions of tho loan recently made by the Bank Presidents are that the war is to be prose cuted with all the vigor and energy of the gov ernment. The proprietors of the Daily News, fearing an attack upon their establishment, yesterday ap plied to the police superintendent for protection. A force of 400 police was held in reserve iu the lower stations, but up to 1 o’clock this morning their services had not been called into requisi tion. It was reported that forty men, armed with revolvers, were retained by the proprietors of the News, to meet any emergency. The Jour nal of Commerce office was also guarded. The Prize Barque Alvarado. —lt will be remembered that this vessel was chased ashore near Tallahassee by the sloop of war Vincennes, and was aftei wards set on fire by order of the commander of that vessel. We are pleased to learn from the Floridian that she wa3 not totally destroyed. That paper says: By dint of perseverance and energy on the part of some cf our citizens, an amount of $12,000 to sls 000 worth of her cargo was taken from the wreck, and will be saved for the benefit of the dating and patriotic officers aad crew of the pri vateer Jiff. Davis, who originally captured the barque. The cargo, as we stated last week, con sist, and of wool, medicines and sheet copper; the portion saved consists of wool and copper. Russell's Second Letter on the Manas sas Battle. —Although Mr. Russell’s second letter to the Loudon " imes, on the Federel defeat at Man as.-a-, is unimp mhdi, yet one brief ex tract poss'-ssts signify e: ‘ Gen Seott, wheth er be di.-apprl sail, the movement onward or not, w: - cer- hat" the Confederates would be defeated. * “TLe Presiuoui, the Secretary of War, and other members of the' Government were assem bled in the room where the tileg-apb opeiator was at woik far into the night, and as the ora cles of fare uncoiled from the wires, gloom gath ered on ?h !r f:rce«, and at last, grave and silent, they retired.
