Home Defense 1
It is understood that Gov. Pickens holds a tine
regiment, with ten companies, near Aiken, on
the railroad, now in camp, ready to be moved to
any point at a moment’s warning, and probably
Gen. .Tones will bo its colonel. The Governor
also has thirty companies, in throe regiments,
near this place, on the railroad, preparing to
move at a moment’s notice; also, three fire
cavalry companies, and one at Aiken; also, two
artillery companies—in all, four thousand men.
Gon. Dunovantis already Colonel of one of these
regiments.
We take the.above from a late number of the
Columbia Guardian, and earnestly commend the
example of the Palmetto Governor to our own
executive. Wo do not know what Gov. Brown
has done or is doing in the way of preparing
Georgia to resist invasion. We cannot believe,
however, that he has been idle, or is indifferent
to this object. Tho 13th regiment at Brunswick,
behind the proper defenses, may be sufficient for
that position, and Fort Pulaski will, doubtless*
protect the river in front of it. But these are
only two points on a coast of 100 miles. By the
aid of gun boats, tho enemy can land almost any
where and get across to tho interior; or if he
prefers, as doubtless he will, to confine his oper
ations to tho coast, what is to prevent him from
landing 10,000 men at Vernon river, 12 or 15
miles below Savunnah and attack it in the
rear ?
What wo need in Georgia and what every
State on the Atlantic or Gulf, South of Virginia,
noods is an organized force ot six or eight thou
sand men ready at a moment’s warning to march
to any threatened or assailed point. Wo have
but little time within which to work. By the
middlo of next month there is every reason to
believe that tho enemy will begin a system of
land-privateering on the Southern coast, and
unless we are betior prepared than at present,
our peoplo will be harrassed and annoyed Lo
mond mcasuie. Every body looks to Governor
Brown to move at once in this matter.
Our Tableaux Yivanis.
Rarely among the creations of the mostdis--
tinguished professional artist*, have wo witness
ed «■ nioro complete success, than that which
attended the exertions of our noble an and patriotic
townswomen on Wednesday evening.
Their Tableaux Vi van to surpassed in scenic
• pleudor the most gorgeous groupings of ,s Lct
F avorita, or f Ls Scmirctmide,' and the vocaliza
tion which held ear and thought entranced and
charmed away at intervals tho pauses between
live ivenos, gushing and floating upward with the
wil l 5we0.n0.,.; of tho sky lark. Tho impassion
ed tenderness of tho nightingale, will long leave
its vibrations in the souls of its hearers'
So much was there, throughout this enter
tainment, to call forth tho admiration of the
spectators that it is difficult to single out from
tho galaxy, any “bright particular star” and call
it “fairest found, where all were fair,” yet wo
think that the genius displayed> tho exquisite
conception of “Nigiit and Morning” merits
special praise. Tho merry mischief, tho Jaugh
iug grace oi the young “Masqueraders” who
opened the spectacle still haunt our eye?. We
lealized in tho Indian Maiden, how theeloqueneo
ol beauty could inspire mercy even among the
liorcest and most vengeful of her tribe, while wc
seemed to catch their war whoop. Curiosity,
revelled iu her own Protean incarnation, among !
the “Postmistress” and her gossips. “Cm.;:- j
hellA ; ” sprang from tho venerable legend, so *
tresh and fair to view, that henceforth we shall
stake our own eye-slght against any, who pre
tend her to be but the fabled creation of an old
dreamer. \\ hat description can paint that tw r o
fleeting vision x>f Persian magnificence ? Did
mortals surround tho couch of “Lalla Rooiui,”
or did llouris rove thither ironyJhe gardens of
the Prophet ? 1
"Virginia/' in a silence that found voice,
thrilled us with his stern lloman virtue; whilo
with trait bat lovely “Eehe Deans,” one might
have wept. When “Judith” presented herself
otore as, upon tho lineaments of this avenger of
her God-chosen people wero stamped her faith in
the king ot kings, her horror of the Oppresor, her
supreme, triumphant love of country, in charac
ters of singular strength. The evening closed
victoriously upon tho handed Sisters of our Con
federacy while the “Stars and Bars” waved
above them, and tho chorus of Dixie filled tho
air.
The object to which this entertainment (con
ceived and matured in a space of time marvel
lously short,) was consecrated, is worthy of all
praise, and many of our heroic defenders will
bless its authors for comforts, which through its
agency will be dispensed to them while amid the
■lardships and perils of the camp. May every
exertion made in this holy-cause, be crowned with
conquest!

Richmond, Sept. G.
Some few sheets of Confederate notes of the
denominations of five and ten dollars were sto
len at Petersburg, but being bunglingly signed
may be readily detected. The parties implicated
in stealing and counterfeiting have been arres
ted and arc now in custody.
It is generally conceded that the advances of
of thc Confederates towards Alexandria, Arling
ton and other points have been steady and suc
cessful.
Nothing reliable has been received recently in
regard to operations iu thc Mountains. Bad
weather has impeded the movements of , ur for

Much speculation is indulged here as to the

At a meeting of a few Georgians and members
of Congress, from Georgia, held a fiw weeks
since, an organization was commenced for es
tablishing a Georgia Hospital in Richmond and
an Executive Committee was appointed. This
action was taken in ignorance of the extent of
theorganization and objects of the Georgia Re
lief and Hospital Association.
Hon. E. Starnes, who is chairman of both
committees, and W. 11. Moore, having visited
this city, and a full consultation with such of
former meeting as remained in the city, having
been had, it has been deemed best with full con
currence of the Committee appointed here to dis
pense with the former organization, and to place
the whole matter under the charge of the Geor
gia State Association.
To relieve all apprehension on the subject, as
chairman of the former meeting, I make this
publication and request all persons desiring to
aid the laudablo object aimed at by both associ
ations, to make their contributions to the proper
officers of the Georgia Relief and Hospital asso
ciation.

Magoffin's message on Federal relations is
mostly retrospective, showing that neutrality
has been thrice ratified at the ballot box, and
that his own course in refusing men to Lincoln,
and his efforts to keep the belligerents off Ken
tucky soil have met with nearly unanimous ap
proval by Kentuckians.
He says, “and now addressing myself to the
, Representatives of the people of Kentucky, I pro
test, iu their name and in the presence of Heaven
and earth, against all and every of tho Presi
dent’s usurpations and unconstitutional and ille
gal acts, and protest furthermore against the
prosecution of a war professedly for the object
of restoring the Government—an object utterly
impossible of attainment by such insane means
as a war of coercion ; and I protest, moreover,
against Kentucky being made tho camping
ground or the pathway for thc movements
forces l»y either belligerent, and I recommend
earnestly to the General Assembly the prompt
passage of resolutions requiring both belligerents
to keep off our soil and to respect in good faith
the neutrality which the people of Kentucky, with
unexampled unanimity, desire to preserve.”

New-Orleans, Aug. 2S.
A passenger, who has just arrived in this city
from Brashear City, by the Opelousas Railroad,
reports that two Navy officers, of the Confeder
ate States —Lieutenant Shepard and J, H. Loper,
the Supervising Engineer of the Navy Station —
had arrived at that place, and, at 2 o’clock in
the morning of the 2Cth, had seized the steamer
Picayune, which had just arrived with freight
and passengers. They placed on board an arm
ed force of 25 men from a Confederate States
man of war steamer, and proceeded down to
the mouth of the Bayou Chino for the purpose of
attacking a Lincoln armed blockading schooner
—one of the tenders cf the United States steamer
Huntsville, Commodore Hollins approves of
their course.

Goldsboro’, N. C., Sep. -1.
All is quiet here now. There are no signs nor
expectations of an attack by the enemy. Prepar
ations arc being vigorously pushed forward to
receive him, if ho should attempt to gain a foot
hold upon the main land. I see no indications
of any movement to beac off the invaders from
their present position. Thc energy and activity
displayed is not what the occasion would seem
to demand. No intelligence has been received
here of any further movements of the Yankees
along the coast.
From the Wilmington Journal, Saturday.
The Feeling in North Carolina.
We regret to learn, by a passenger who arrived
here this morning, that there are not wanting
the gravest suspicions of treachery attaching to
a person with the Confederate forces, who, when
the squads were beiDg transferred from Camp
Clark to the breastworks at Hatteras, lagged
strangely behind, but was not particularly notic
ed, he occupying a position which ranked him
as a non-combatant. He was not seen again,
and it is thought that he may havo slipped out
in a boat to the enemy and given them informa
tion. He straggled near a signal pole, and may
have made a signal which they understood, to
the effect that our men were out of ammunition,
but would bo reinforeed on Thursday, as they
wmuld have been. The rumors in Goldsboro' de
signate the individual by name, but we do not
feel at liberty to do so. One thing is certain, the
capture of the gallant and popular Major An
drews, of Goldsboro’, has roused that section to
a mighty pitch of excitement.
At Newburn serious apprehensions are enter
tained for the safety of property, as it is known
that tho notorious Butler, of “contraband” ce-
in command of tho expedition.
We again urge the completion of the necessary
defensive works here, and the organization of all
the forces that can be brougnt into service. Why
can’t we have the works at Wyatt made and
armed? How are our guns and ammunition at
other points ?
The Journal further says:
Col. Fremont and Gen. Gatlin must be sus
tained by the people. They are not operating
here on means derived from the Safety Commit
tee, not from Raleigh, to which however we must
pay taxes.
Thank God the Military Board is gone. Let
Gov. Clark do something to redeem the State
from tho disgrace inflicted upon her by the dis
aster—the shameful sacrifice of our men at Hat
teras. Brave men fallen into the hands of the
relentless Butler, while men lean back in their
chairs at Raleigh and poo-poo ! at any demand
for adequate preparation ! A big show in Vir
ginia, is a good thing, but a decent regard for
our own exposed coasts is also a good thing—yea,
a bettor thing. A stitch in time saves nine, but
we fear that there are not wanting those among
the politicians of this Stato whose sectional pre
judice? are so large, and their souls so small that
they would 3uoner see our seacoast towns burned
down—Wilmington particularly—than not.
Call no more troops from Virginia. Stop no
more regiments. Give us the moans and the
coast people will taka care of the coast them
selves, and let their men in Virginia fight there.
Tho militia of New Hanover and Brunswick
will take notice that Col. Fremont has issued or
ders for their immediate assembling, to repel the
threatened invasion by the enemy. Hatteras
batteries have fallen, and upwards of 800 bravo
North Carolinians havo been killed, wounded
and taken prisoneas. Let every man be read}’.

Great Ileduetion in Prices of
44HOYER& RAKER’S
FAMILY mwm MACHOKS
I am authorized to sell these Machines at a re
duction on former prices of from 10 to la
per cent.; according to style of pattern.
All Machines warranted.
The (1 rover & Baker Company is one of the
oldest and most successful of the originators anil
directors of the business. It entered the field
at an early day, when Sewing Machines were al
most in their first stages—when their manufac
ture was more of an experiment than anything
else. Step by step it has progressed in the de
velopement of the trade and the perfecting of
its Machines: taking advantage of all possible
improvements in the make, adaptation and mod
ification of machinery, it has enjoyed the exclu
sive benefits of the inventive genius of one per
son of the firm (Mr. William 0. Grover,) by
which it has been placed in possession of privi
liges and patents that have given Machines pe
culiar and exclusive excellencies.
The mechanism of the Grover A Baker Ma
chine is exceedingly simple, durable and easily
understood by any person old or young; there
is nothing iu 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
Aliases, only ten years of age, operating the Ala
chine on straight seems without assistance.
Families who are about to pnichase are respect
fully invited tocall and examine for themselves,
we take the liberty of savin.-, it is better for you
to purchase of a local responsible Agent, than
from peddlers who are travelling through the
country with cheap Sewing Machine?.
