COLUMBUS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5,1861. SUE FIRST PACE. State Convention— Change of Day.—lt has been determined to hold the State Convention for the nomination of candidates for Electors of President and Vice President and a candidate for Governor, at Milledgeville, on WEDNESDAY, lltii of SEPTEMBER. Let the citizens of each county, of uil .-bales of political opinion, meet forthwith and appoiru their delegates, in order that we may be for once, a united P eo Pl e- [Communicated.] Talbotton, Sept. 1, 1801: Eds. Times : The third company of Volunteers from thia county, left on yesterday for Griffin —the place of rendezvous for tho regiment to which it be longs. We are by no means inclined to boast of the number of companies that we have sent to the war; but think that when everything is ta ken into consideration, we have done quite as much, if not more than some who seem disposed, to disparage u3. There is most always a lack of that “esprit de corps” among the people of the country, which is so characteristic of the popu lation in towns aud cities; and it should not be expected that volunteering should proceed with the same spirit in tho one case, as tho other. We are endeavoring to do our duty in this county, and if we are yet behind hand, compared with what has been done in a few other places, wo shall continue to respond whenever the occasion demands it. In addition to tho three companies that have gone forward, wo are represented in several oth ers that were organized in adjacent counties. Many of our young men were so eager to enter the service, that they would enlist in any compa ny that had received orders to march. Our last corps the “Talbot Volunteers,” will comparo fa vorably with any that lias preceded it, and will rank number one in every respect. It em braces in its person, well much of tho “bone and sinew,” together with a fair representation from the different professions, and many of tho first young men of the county. Tho company was organized and equipped with remarkable dis patch, and whilst we regard this as a most grat ifying evidence of the patriotism and liberality of our people, it is no less a compliment to the gallant aud accomplished gentlemen who was se lected Captain. No man has ever had to a great er oxtent the confidence and esteem of this com munity than Capt. L. B. Smith ; and soon as it became known that.lie was in the field for Vol unteers, they poured in from all quarters in such numbers that the necessary compliment was at onoe obtained. llis high standing, as a citizen, and his com manding talents will doubtless cause him to be regarded a prominent candidate for the Colonel cy of the regiment. He possesses in an eminent degree, all jthose qualifications that aro essential in constituting tho accomplished field officer. — He is the man for that position or any other that he would aspire to, and if elected will spare nei ther time nor effort in having a regiment that every Georgian will be proud of. The weather still continues rainy and gloomy in tho extreme. Our worst apprehensions con cerning the cotton crops are fully realized. In some localities it is almost ruined and seriously injured everywhere. If a decided change does not take place very soon, it is a settled point, we shall make little or no cotton. 0. jS®**Tho Louisville Courier, noticing the telo graphio announcement of the defeat of General Tyler, in Western Virginia, -says his force, in stead of being but 900 5000. He was beat en by Gen. Floyd. The Federalists were on their way to Gauley lliver, to form a junction with Gen. Cox, who bad ascended the Kanawha to a point beyond Gauley’s Bridge, when Floyd cut them off north of the river, and near Summer ville. Tho Courier contains no further par ticulars. Rather Suspicious. —We learn that on Sat urday night last, says the Savannah Republican of the 4lh, about 9 o'clock, a strange looking craft made her appearance off one of the batteries on the coast, aud on being hailed made no reply, when two blank shots were fired at her from the battery. She immediately extinguished her lights and put to sea, when a ball was fired, but with what damage it is not known. Her pres ence in that locality, and at such a time; could be attributed to nothing else than taking sound ing*. Election of Field Officers for the 14tii Georgia Regiment. —An election was held on 'L’vbee Island and at Fort Pulaski, on yesterday, for Field Officers of the 14th Regiment.

The full returns;,have not been handed in, but there seems to be no doubt of the above se lection.—Sac. Rep. Tennessee and Kentucky. —ln view of the present equivocal relations of Kentucky to the two Confederacies, and the prospect of some steps being taken that may involve her in a conflict with her brethren of Tennessee, the citizens of Nashville held a large public meeting some days ago to take action on the subject.

A large number of the 7th Ohio scat tered and arc missing but we hope most of them will escape. From the Mobile Register & Advertiser. Charge of the Alabama Fourth Regiment at Manassas, j Loud the battle’s din was sounding, t Noisome was the air.- All around were seen the dying, Death was everywhere. Deep the brazen cannon mattered Forth its belching tones ; And the cheering cry, ere utter’d Changed to dying groans. On a hillside, dark and gloomy, Stood a warrior band; Hailing from the hills and valleys Os the “Resting land.” From the plains of Alabama, Where the orange waves; They have come to meet in battle, Dastard Northern slaves. They are awaiting now the signal For the deadly strife ; And the only words they whisper— “ Honor more than life.” Iu their front the foe was firing— * Sherman’s battery, With its booming thunder, dealing Death and misery. Now the noble Bee came forward, Flashing was his eye ; “Sons of Alabama,” said he, “Charge for victory !” Then adown that steady column Passed the magic sign ; And the gallant Fourth moved onward, With unbroken line. Charge ! the order shrill, resounded Through the waving wood; And the echo, Charge! rebounded O’er the field of blood, Then the war-shout—Alabama ! Drowned the dying cry; And that shout went up to Heaven, To the God on high. Now our braves fell fast, but faster Fell the foemen’s dead ; Till disheartened by disaster, Dastardly they fled. When the battle’s strife was o’er, Calm yet tearfully, The victors of the fight drew near, To watch the gallant Bee. By the gushing fountain pure, This son of chivalry Lay between this veil of life And bright Futurity. When the twilight stars were weeping, O’er the ensanguin’d plain ; They beheld the hero sleeping, Ne’er to wake again. Alabama! Alabama! Was the soft refrain ; And the golden-winged angel3 Breathed the sadden’d strain. Montrose, Aug. 25, 1861. Aymer. NOTICE.
