State Convention— Change of Day. —lt has
been determined to bold the State Convention for
the nomination of candidates for Electors of
President and Vice President and a candidate
for Governor, at Milledgeville, on
WEDNESDAY, 11th of SEPTEMBER.
Let-tho citizens of each county, of all shaues
of political opinion, meet forthwith and appoint
theijr delegates, in order that wc may he tor once,
a united people.
Majou John n. Howard. —The card of this
gentlemen in this irsuo announces him as a
Candidate to represent the 3d Cengressiona]
District in the Congress of the Confederate
States. Major Howai dis well-known either per
sonally, or by reputation, to every man in the
District, and to such it is entirely unnecessary
to say one word. The principles and policy de
clared in his short andcandid letter will certainly
receive the sanction of every reader.
To the Voters of the 3d Congressional District.
I am a candidate for Congress, if it meets your
approbation. It is a very important and re*
sponsible position, which I seek, being the fir3t
Congress to bo elected by the people. I am for
a vigorous proscoutioa of the war, to its termi
nation, which must and will result in cur inde
pendence, though it will cost many lives and
much money. We shall certainly beat the enemy
who has waged this unholy war of subjugation,
and be left to form our own Southern Govern
ment, for the protection of freemen. I wish our
government to be strictly one of the people and
not one of office holders. I wish it to be a cheap
Government and not oppressive upon its people.
Reasonable salaries to as few officers as may be
actually necessary for the administration of the
Government, should be regarded a cardinal prin
ciple.
I advocate free trade except with the North,
which has so much oppressed us, that I care not
m future to have anything to do with them. I
am for the lowest taxation, direct or indirect,
.which will sustain a strictly economical admin
istration of the Government.

From Hardeman’s Battalion.
The following is extracted from a letter from
Capfc. Smith, then (during M3jor Hardeman’s
absence ) in command of the 2i Georgia Battal
ion, at Sewell's Point. It will bo seen that, the
health of the force was slowly improving, but
still very bad. An cgort is now being made to
send on the nurses as desired. Capt. Smith's
Utter is dated the 28th ult :
Our battalion is still suffering from hard chills
and high fevers. Tbo number of sick has been
reduced from 130 to 105. All tho Captains ex
cept myself have been sick; Capts, Colquitt and
Doyal are still sick; Colquitt is not dangerously
sick; Doyal is up and convalescent; Capt. Ross
has jus. recovered. At present I am in command
of the battalion, and have constant work to do.
I am adopting measures to promote tho health of
the battalion. I wish that I bad four discreet,
healthy, female nurses from Macon, to attend to
our sick, they could boos great service at this
time, It is a tremendous responsibility to have
charge of 460 men, when 105 are sick. Assure
our friends that none of the 3ick are in danger*
though many of them suffer very much. Every
attention is being given, and the sick are im
proving,
A large number of vessels and a large force
left Fortress Monroe on day before yesterday for
-ome point, said by a released prisoner from the
Fortress now in Norfolk, to be i n North Caroli
na. It is supposed that they intend to sink
vessels and blockade some port.
It is my humble conv ction that the enemy
purpose to blockade Southern ports in this
• manner, and to make an attack on the -cotton
this fall or winter. I think that Geor
gia should adopt prompt measures for the de
fence of her sea coast-
Dining v. ijh Gen. Huger on day before yes
terday, I earned that he thougluthat the block
ade would be raised very soon. Ido not con
cur with him in this opinion.
With kind regards to enquiring f neU ds. In
haste truly yours, R. A. SMITH

AT THE OLD STAND
A 8 23road Street,
Great Eeduction ia Prices of
fiROVER A- BAKER’S
family mmm machines
I am authorised to sell these Machines at a re
Auction on former prices of from 10 to 1 5
percent.; according to style of pattern.
All Machines warranted.
The Grover & Baker Company is one of the
oldest and most successful of the originators and
directors of tho business. If entered the field
at an early day, wheu Sewing Machines were al
most in their first stages—when their manufac
ture was mure of an experiment than anything
else. Step by step it has progressed in the de
velopeinent Os the trade and the perfecting of
its Machines : taking advantage of all possible
improvements in the make, adaptation and mod
ideation of machinery, it heaenjoyed the exclu
sive benefits ot the inventive genius of one per
son of tne firm (Mr. William O. Grover,) by
which it has been placed in possession of privi-
Hges and patents that have given Alachir.es pe
culiar and exclusive excellencies.
The mechanism of the Grover k Baker Ma
chine is exceedingly simple, durable and easily
understood by eny person old or young; thero
is nothing in its management that the simplest
mind may not grasp, and it is merely a question
of time and memory with some —most ladies will
learn at once showing, while others will require
two or three lessons; frequently we see little
Misses, only , ten years-of age, operating the Ma
chine on straight seems without assistance.
Families who are about to purchase are respect
fully invited to call and examine ior themselves,
we take the of sayin it is better for you
to purchase of a loe_l responsible Agent, than
from peddlers who aro travelling through the
country with ehe. p hewing Machines.
