Cauipboii, “has abscond e*i from Richmond, with ut the consent or knowledge of hia partners.” Did (he anti sub stitution lend him wings? Some changes have been made in military affairs in Mississippi- The cavalty in that State has boon divided into two parts ; all north oi Grenada ami in West Tennessee is under com mand of Major General .Forrest; all south of an imaginary line running through Grenada east and west, and in Louisiana, is under command of Major General S. D. Leo. General Forrest’s headquarters will be at Como, in Panola county, and General Lse’s at Jackson. Plantei-a’ ConYtrition, The proposition has been made, we think, by the Macon Telegraph, to bold a Conven tion of the planters of Georgia, to agree upon a uniform schedule of prices for such articles as the Government requires for the xubsisteDce of our troops in the The The suggestion is a good one, and we hope to see it acted upon without delay. We believe there is abundance of supplies in the country, and we believe that the plan ters, as a eiass, are patriotic and wilting to do their full share towards sustaining our armies in the field. But. in the present de ranged and unsettled condition of affairs, caused by the depreciation of the currency, the inflation of prices, and the restriction oi transportation, it is impossible for individu als or the producers of a single county or section ot county to come to the relief oi’ the Government. To effect the end de.-ir* ed, it is necessary, that there should be a uniformity in prices for the same articles throughout the. Stale. The planters of a single county tael that they can effect-little, good fyr the Government by reducing the price of wheat, com and bacon, to a moder ate price, while there is perhaps an adjoin iiig county holding the same articles at much higher prices. Such a state of things would not only be unequal and uri*. just, but would offer a field lor private speculation. It is essential therefore, that there should be unanimity and concord of action in this important matter, which uan only be brought about by convention ol the producer s'ot the State. We feel con fident that ii Governor Brown, himself a planter, would call upon the planters <T the State to meet him in convention at Macon or Mifledgeville, at an early day, for" the purpose of establishing a schedule of uni form prices of produce for the subsistence of the army, and to consult on the best course to be adopted to secure ample sup plies for the coming year, the call would meet with a cordial response, and that great good would be accomplished to he army, the government and the people.- [Sav.

Farce off ‘ lie admitting Arkansas Into the Union.” The Yankees were getting up a story of Arkansas “coming back into the Union.”— A dispatch from Washington says: Alter numerous interviews ihe Arkansas delegation have been entirely successful in arranging a programme and prociuinga.ni Uionty for the restoration of civil govern ment in the Grate, as preliminary to its full restoration to communion with tfit: Federal Union. Directions are to be given to Gen ISteele reorder an election for State officers and members of the'State Kerffslature upon terms some what similar to tiros*- proclaimed by Gen Banks in Louisiana, except that in the vote for Suite officers the people will have an opportunity to pronounce in favor of or against an amendment of the State.

' Thu Fre ident has pardoned Mr Griffin, one of the Arkansas delegation now here, who was a member of the eetm n ion which passed the ordinance for the Recession of that Slate. The delegation wii! return u* Arkansas this week, to arrange for calling a convention to brius back the Stale into the Union. Printed forrirs have been pre pared by order of the President, to facilitate similar proceedings in other revolted States. A dispatch from Cairo says ; The S'ate. Convention, which assembled on the Bth instant, had about completed its laoors. Tire greater portion of the Sta • was represented, and no deliberate body that ever assembled in the State na< com prised more men of s umi worth and in telligence than this Convention.

The constitution is to be submitted to the people on the second Monday in March, at which time the S;a ! e offices and members of the Legislature u h; be elected. Tne Legi slat m e is to meet on the third j Monday in April. The action of the Con vention was universally !-atibfactory to the loyal men. The qualification of voter is that prescribed by the President in his pro clamation. It is believed that the-loyal citi zens will be able to poll twenH thousand voles for the Constitution.

The Yankees are organizing a regiment of ar® tillery to be composed of negroes. Messrs. McGhee and Powell, who, it will be recollected, were arrested and sent to Kentucky by Burnside, have beeu released and have re« turned to Knoxville. It is understood that they secured their discharge by redeeming with green* backs, tho Confederate notes expended 4 by them m the purchase of cattle duriig Pegratn’s raid into Kentucky last summer. Almost ali the shade trees, and nearly all the lencos m the city, were used by the Yankees for luel, during the s ege. _ Most of tho Yankee e’erks who stampeded from Knoxviile eighteen months ago, have returned; among the;:., B .non and Atwell, formerly em pleyed by Cowan, Dickiuson & Cos., also Sand ford, formerly ot the firm of Richardson and San dford. Sundry parties havo filed bills ia chancery against prominent absentees, and such men as Senator Haynes, Representative Swan and Dr. J. G. M. Ramsey are advertised as absenting themselves or so absconding that the ordinary process of the Jaw cannot be executed. Siege of Charleston— Two Hundred and Ten tlx Day. Since our last report, the enemy have kept up a heavy and continuous tire on the wrecked steamer Presto. During Tuesday the shells exploded over and in her with considerable effect, and about one o’clock Tuesday afternoon, she was observed on fire, which afterwards subsided. At two o’clock, three tugs came up to the Monitors ami commenced transferring guns and ord*» nance stores. (Shortly afterwards one of the Monitors opened upon the Precto with three field guns from her deck. Fort Moul trie and onr batteries on (Sullivan’s Island replied to this fire, anil exploded several shells so near the Monitor that the fragments struck her, causing a decrease in the activity of the field gun working detachments, and after a short time compelled them to cease altogether. Wednesday the enemy again kept a slow but steady fire on the wreck from their land baiteries and two Monitors—one of which again had some two or three field guns on deck. About 3 o’clock Wednesday afternoon ihe steamer again took fire from tfie ene my’s shells and burnt to ihe water’s edge. The Monitors had previously endeavored to strike ihe wreck by ricochet shots, but tailed, and the attempt was soon abandon ed. The enemy’s be st practice was from a three hundred pounder Parrott at Gregg. Two of the Monitors were observed yester day to have projecting beams attached, to serve as a protection irotn toipedo boats, of which they appear io be in constant dread. The nearest approach they have made to Sullivan’s Island has deeti not over two thousand yards. Tne p.sitiou of the fl.:et remains unchanged. The tiring upon tho city continues with but small results, (,'ne humirod andthirty-five shots were fired from h-ilf past fiva Tuesday afternoon to half past five Wednesday evening. No fur ther casualties are reported. The enemy opened a brisk fire for about two hours yesterday afternoon on battery Sunkins, James’ Island, and on Fort Moultrie, and the other batteries on Sullivan’s Island, doing little or no damage. They are reported still at work upon tbeir earthwork- at the head of Green Creek, Long Island, and D-xon’s Island, opposite Seces sioavifle. —[ohu:iesiou Courier, 4th. Another False Alarm Subsided, Last week, .*ays the Rome Courier, of the 2-1, we were deluged whit rumors to she effect that die enemy were crossing the Tennessee at Gunternviik in heavy force. Newsmongers and croakers could give you ail the particulars—how “the Yankees commenced shelling Guntereviile on the 22d, demanded its surrender on the 23*j. and when this was not done, that they crossed the river, dispersed and captured our forces there, t acked the town, aDd were devastating the whole country thereabouts,” A gentleman arrived in Rome last Sut.- day morning, direct from Guntersville, who takes the scare out of these rumors, to a wonderful extent. He was at the place at the time o! the reeonnoisance, and says that not more than 150 Feds crossed the river, that they commuted quite* a number of petty depredations, and soon re-crossed the river and disappeared. If is a great misfortune tWt we have a few persons in this section exceedingly anxious io tell bad news. The croakers are now pretty well mown and we would advise our readers to place no credence in iheir alarming tales— hey are' hardly ’o be tfu-’.eo, in war matters when under oath. The Steamer Denbigh not Lost.

They succeeded in bitting her bur nnee in her wheclhoßse, doing her n > damage. Sue was de fended by the gu js of Fori Morgan, which sue ceeded in putting three shots in one ol the block aders and driving the rest off. The enemy’s ship that was struck was sentmff in the direction cf Pensacola, supposed to be disabled. The energy of (Jen. Higgins and his command in defending the unfortunate ship is highly corn men Jed. A Washington leiter of the 10th ult to the N. Y.

For Three Months, 18 How to End tlie War. A correspondent of the Mobile R g ster writes tbas: All tho leading minds of tho Seuth helkvethat there will be bat one more regular campaign in this war, aud that the military events cf the tiext spring and summer will end the con est glori ously and in*. Confederate independence, 1 oar arms are successful, or will result in a desultory guerrilla war, of indefinite duration, i< wo allow the Yankee General Grant to work oui bis pro gramme. Ti.e next campaign will be the urgh tiest in its proportions, in its tfforts and in ita results. If the Southern people, lor the inner* ent and ancestral love they b re for thirty, were inspired torusb to arms when Linco n\ first a- my marched to defiat at Manassas; if, lor me - tne reason, they have treely poured out their blood, suffered hardships and privations, aud off red their lives for three long years since, and it' they were a wise anl heroic people in so doing, the time is now pr sent win a all tbo incentives to former deeds press upon them with me accumu lated lorce; lor ihe prize of liberty is not yai won, nor the bloou of their brave dead yet fully aven ged. One more struggle, one more raiiy worthy of the heroic character which Confederates have won and wear throughout Christendom, aud it is not even a problem as to hoiv or when the war will end. And can we do it ? And will wo do it ? It de pends on the people, end they know wool is necdtul to be done. Fir?t, ah'in o back to tho army <ho absentees and skulkers This is the duty of public opinion, aud tbo women of ihe South uavo its principal creation and dueotioa in their hands. Next, arrest and deliver to mili tary authority the deserters from the army. This is the duty of civil magistrates and c>t z.ns as well as of the military officers. And, luat, let ail who owe military duty under the laws of tho land come forward voluntarily, and not wait to be dragged to du y by provost ;>rul conscript grards. This will furnish one hundred.thou* sand additional soldiers to Ihe ar;<:ics in the field. IP this be done, and the plan'ers aud pro ducers will lay aside from their (ood supplies their whole surplus beyond their own r.d their families' wants, by the middle of June uu Yan kees will bo wtn pod from our soil, Te n-rssoe, Kentucky and Missouri will lie rodeem and, Lin coln will be beaten for tho Presi deucy, aud ihe conquering Confederate States can and o i o the terms of peace.
