Tht! ure, perhaps without any
reference to our suggestion has met the
question of extortion by defining and
declaring it an indictable offence. This
is better than despotic seizures.

The war-making, is one of those clear
ly delegated ami essential powers, with
out which a Confederacy cannot be pre
served. If tb.e 'Hated claim and exercise
this power all harmony is at once des
troyed and the Central Go . eminent is
not only crippled by discordant ac ion,
but may l>e compelled to consul', in vi
tal movements, State military organiza
tions. If we have a Central Govern- !
D'.ent, in this great crisis of our history
worthy of our confidence then, in the
name of all we hold dear, let it employ
all of its constitutional power.
From the beginning of the war Gov.
Brown has shown great anxiety to build
up an independent Georgia Army.—
In September last he was induced to
abandon the nucleus he had iorrned with
this view. The Legislature now propo
ses to organize a force of 20,000 men
for the coast d< fence ami though the
Confederate Government has sent one
of its most accomplished Generals (Lee)
to take command on cur ('oast, there
are some who propose to ignore his ex i
istei.ee and to place the coast defence
under Gov. Brown. We look with con
fidence to the good sense of the Legis
la ure to pu. this m ittrr right.
Since writing the above both Houses
have passed a resolution requiring the
Governor to turn over to the Confeder
ate Government all troops he lias called
into service.
Upon and pending a reconsideration
of action n kiting to this matter the Ex
ecu iv' adressed a lengthy message to
the General Asscml ly proles ing
against the passage of the bill— aw ac
tion un-heard of in Legislative action
and which met with a proper response
from Mr. Speaker Aiken.
The Chronicle & Sentinel remarking
upon the dangers with which our Con
stitutional liberty is threatened abroad
and at home say s:
“Already we see the rightsei private
property infringed by a public servant
of the State under the interpretation of
the Constitution will only, by the most
violent wresting of its meaning bear?
M e see membeis of that branch of the
Legislature, up.m whom rests, most
particularly the guardianship of the
people’s right willing to place die un
limited control of the pur.se and the
word in the hands of one mm, whose
apacity has been found Wanting in
the Cabinet, ami is untried in the field
We find public men ready it is true, to
resist liravely, every invasion of our
rights from the armed enemy abroad,
but reaily at. the same time, to sanction
every usurpation at home. We fir,,! a
pottion ol ilie people approving* of, or
blind to these usurpations, for ■•••lfni of
the great principles which’ um.h-rhe the
foundations of c.vil liberty. The foe
on our borders is to be watched and
bravely an I gl <rioti.sly driven back as
he has bee: , hut let us, at the same
time, be j< il-in of ail enfloachmenls
at home, or it may h ippen that free
speech, a free pr-ss, personal libeitv,
the supremacy of the law, and the
rights ot property ir.ay be annihilated
as they have been under the ditninii n
ol Lincoln and Seward. Such calami
ties have not yet happen to ns, but one
slight usurpation upon private rights
by public officer, goes far to establish
a presedent ol which mi ambitions and
unscrupulous man, finding it quietly
acquiesced in, will not be slow to take
advantage,”

THE MARIETTA WEEKLY ADVOCATE.
EXTRACTS FROM LINCOLN’S ME*- 1
MAGE.
You will not be surprised to learn
that, in the peculiar exigencies of the
times, our intercourse with forei n na
tions has been attended with profound
solicitude, chiefly.l timing upon our own
domestic tffair.s A disloyal portion of
the American people have, during the
whole year, been engaged in in attempt
to divide and destroy the Union. A na
tion which endures factious <1 miest'e
divisions is exposed to disrespect
abroad, and one party, if not both, is
sure, sootier or later, to invoke foreign
intervention. Nations thus tempted to
interfere are not always able to resist
the counsels of seeming expediency ami
i.ng'ene , ’ous ambition, although meas
ures adopted under such influences sel
dom fail to be unfortunate and injuri
ous to those adopting them.
THS REBEL. INVOCATION' OF FOREIGN AID.
The disloyal citizens of the United
States, who have offer'd the ruin of our
country in return for the aid and com
fort which they have invoked abroad,
have received less patronage and en
couragement than tlmy probably expec
ted. If it were just to suppose, us the
insurgents have seemed to assume, that
foreign nations, in this ease, discarding
all mot al, Social and treaty obligations,
would act solely and selfishly for the
most speedy restoration of commerce,
iuchi ling especially the acquisition of
cotton, those nations appear as yet
not to have son their way to
their object more directly or cl tarly
thr .ugh lite destruction til tn through
the preserv ition of the Union, if we
could dare to believe that foreign mis
ions are actuated by no higher princi
ple than this, I am quite sure a second
argument could be made to show them
th t they can reach their aim more
readily and easily by aiding to crush
this re elion th n by giving encourage
ment to it.
THE QUESTION OF IXT3RNATION.II. COMMERCE.
The principal lever relied on by the
insurgents for exciting foreign nations
to hostility against ns, as already inti
mated, is 'he embarrassment, ol com
merce. Those nations, however, not
improbably saw from the first that It
was the Union which made as well our
foreign as our domestic commerce.—
liny can scarcely have failed to per
ceive that the effort for disuii'on produ
ces the existing d.lficulty, and that, one
strong nation promises more durable
pi-ace, and a more extensive, valqiide
an I reliable commerce than can the
same nation broken in o hostile frag
ments.
COAST AND GENERAL PUBLIC DEFENCES.
It is not my purpose to review our
discussions with foreign States, because,
whatever might bn their wishes or dis
posi ious, the integrity of oor country
and (he stability of our Governm nt
mainly depends not upon them, but on
the loyalty, virtue, patriotism, and in
telligence of the American people. Ihe
correspondence itself, with the usual
reservations, is herewith submitted. I
ven lire to hope it will appear tin:; we
have practi ed prudence and ‘liberality
towards foreign powers, avertin ' - utili
ses of irriiuo„):i ; and with firmness
maintai’gng our own rights and horn r.
•‘'lnce, however, it is at parent that here,
as in every oilier State, foreign dangeis
nesessarily attend domes ic difficulties,
I reeomm nd that adequate and ample
measures be adopted for maintaining
the public defence s on every sid", while,
under this genera! recommendation, pro
vision for defending our coast line
readily occurs to the mind I also, in
the same connection, ask the attention
of Congress to our grea: lakes and riv
ers It is believed that some fortifica
'ions and depots of arms and munitions,
with harbor and navigation improve
ments at i*ell selected points upon these,
would be ot great importance to the
national defence and preset v ation.
RECOGNITION OF THE SOVEREIGNTY OF HAYTI AND
Lu:;-;i:tA.
If any.good reason exists why we
should persevere longer in wilhh >lding
our recognition of the independence and
sovereignty of Hayti and Liberia, I am
unable to discern it. Unwilling, how
ever, to inaugurate a novel policy in
regard to them without the approbation
of Congress, I submit for your consid
eration the expediency of an appropria
tion of maintaiug a Charge d’Affaircs
near each for those new States. It does
not admit of doubt that important com
me.tcial advantages might be secured
by favorable treaties with them.
CIVIL JUSTICE SUITRKSIKD BY THE REBELLION.
One of the unavoidable conseqn- n
ces i f the present insurrection is tlic en
tire suppression in many places of all
ordinary means of administering* civil
justice by the officers and in the forms
of existing l*w. ibis is the case, in
whole or in part, in all the insurgent
Stub s ; ami us our armies ad vui.ee up
on nd take possession of parts of these
States, the practical evil becomes more
apparent. There arc no Cour s, nor of
ficers, to whom the cit zens ol other
States may apply for the enforcement
of their lawful claims against citizens
of the insurgent States, and here is a
vast amount of debt constituting such
claims, imnif have estimated it as
high as two Luu Ired millions of dollars,
due in large part from insurgents, in
' open rebellion, lo loyal citizens who are
even now making great sacrifices in the
: discharge of (heir patriotic du.y to sup
■ port the Government.
I MILITARY COIKTS TO BE TEMPORARY ESTABLISHED.
Under these circumstances I hive
I been urgen'ly solicited to establish, by
miii ary powers, courts to administer
summary justice in such cases. 1 h ive
thus tar declined to do it, not because 1
had any doubt that, the end proposed—
the collection of the debts— was just
and light in itself, but because 1 have
been unwilling to go beyond the pres
ure of neces ;itv in the unusual xercise
of power. Bir the power-' of Congress,
I suppose, ure equal to the anomalous
occasion, and therefore I refer the whole
matter to Congress, with tne hope that
a plan may be devised for the adminis
(ra'ion of justice in all such parts of
the insurgent Stales and ferritories as
in av lie under control of this Govern*
ment, whether by a voluntary return to
allegiance and order, or by the power
of our arms ; this, however, not to be a
permanent institution, but a temporary
substitute, and to eras • mi so>W< as the
ordinary courts can be reestablished in
peace.
Virginia 1 uiiriON of Tim Dtsriucr of Columbia.
The present insurrection shows, I
think, that the ex ension of this District
across the Potomac river, at the time of
establish! ig the Capitol here, was emi
nently wise, and censeqiiently that the
relinquishment of that portion of it
which lies within the State of V rginia
was unwise and dangerous. I submit
lor your consideration the'expediency
of regaining that part of the District
and tin* restoration of the original boun
daries thereof through negotia'ir«ns with
the State of Virginia,
COLONIZATION OF I.'.IANCIPATED SLAVES.
Under and by vir ue of the act of
Congress, entitled “ An act to Confiscate
Property used for Insurrectionary Pur
poses,” approved August, G, iSt 1, the
legal claims ol certain persons to the
labor and services of certain other per
sons have become forfeited, and num
bers of the latter thus liberated are al
ready dependent on the United Stites
and must, be provid d for m some way.
Besides this, it is not impossible that
some of the Stat'-s will pass similar en
actments for their own benefits respec
tively, and by the operation of which
persuns of the sameclass will be thiowu
upon them for disposal In such case,
1 recommend that Congress provide for
accepting such persons f rom such States
according to some inode of valuation, z/i
lieu prot'tdo of direct taxes, or upon
some other plan to be agreed on with
such Mates, respectively, that such per
sons, on such accep mice by the Geuer
al Government, be at once deemed Ir a ;
and that in any event steps be taken
f'>r colonizing t' th cla s'-s, or the one
first mentiomal, if he other sh li not b.-
brought into existence, at some place
or places in a climate cong- tiial to them.
It m ghl be well to consider, t o, wheth
er the free colored people already in th--
United States could not, so far as indi
viduals may desire, lie included in such
coloniz ition. To carry out the plan o
colonization may involve the acquiring
of territory, and also the appropriation
of money bey< nd that to be expended
i i the territorial acquisition. Having
practiced the acquit i I ion of t.-rritory for
nearly s'xty years the question ;>[’ coii
stitntio al power to (L; jj.-, longer
an open one '‘.’ith us The power wa
rn first questioned by Mr. Jefferson, who
however, in he purchase of Louisiana,
yielded his scruples on the plea ol great
expediency. If it be said that the on y
legitimate object of acquiri g terriicrv
is to furnish Homes for white men ; this
measure effects that otij-ct, for the emi
gration of colored men leaves addition
al room f<-r white men remaining or
coming hole.
ra:: INTEGRiTY OF THE UNION THE FKIMARA' OBJECT
OF TUE WAR
Ot) this whole proposition, including
the appropriation of money with the
iiequ sition of territory, does not the
expedincy anemnt io absolute necessi
ty, with nr which the Government can
inn, be pcipetu.ite I? The war contin
ues. In considering the policy to b
adopted surpressing the insurrection
have been anxious and careful that the
im-vitiable conflict for this purpose
shall not degenerate into a violent, and
remorseless revolutionary struggle. 1
haw*, therefore, in every case, thought
it proper t« keep 'he integrity of he
Union prominent as the primary object
of the contest on our part, h aving all
quest ions which are nor of vital military
importance to the more deliberate action
of the legislature.
In the exercis -of my best discretion
I have adhered to the blockade ol the
ports held by the insurgents, instead
of put ting in force, by proclamation,
the law of Congress enacted aftiie lust
s ssion ibr closing those ports. So, al'
so, obeying the dictates ot prudence,
as well ns the obliga ions of law instead
tratisetiding, 1 li ive adhered to the act
of Congress to confiscate property, and
for iiisiurec binary purposes. If anew
law upon the same subject shall be pro
posed, its propriety will be dul} con
considered. she Union must be pre
served, ami hence all dispensable
means must be employed Vie should
not be in haste to determine tiiat radi
cal and extreme measures, which may
reach tiie loyal as well as the disloyal,
are indispensable.
The inaugural address at the begin
ing of Administration, and the Message
to Congress at the late special session,
were both mainly devoted to the do
niestic controversy out of which the in
surrection and consequent war have
sprung. Nothing now occur to add
to, or subtract from the principles oi
(Tenoral purposes Rtated and ex
pressed in these documents. Ti • last
ray of hope (or preserving the Union
peaceldy expired at the assault uo ui
Fort Sumter, and a general review ol
what has ocurred s'lice in iy not b
unprofitable. What was painfully mi
certain then is much better defined and
more distinct now, and the progress oi
events is plainly in the right direction.
Soap! J anoles!! Starch!!! Buckets!!!!
It is said that Yankees soap is getting
scarce ! We me glad of it. We hope
it will all be exhausted.
A large supply of soap may be ex
tracted from every corn field at this
season of the year. While a thousand
f ounds 'if oakwood yield only two ami
a half pounds of potash, a thousand
pounds of corn stalks will yield 17
pounds of potash, and soap is made out
•of potash. A thousand pounds of oak
leaves, burnt to ashes, will yield 24
pounds of potash, and soap may be made
out <>f potash.
Yankee candles are getting scarce ?
We ire glad of it. We hope every
lamp they ever lighted will cease to
burn. We sh ill then make coal oil out
of our rich deposites, and perhaps we
shall have gas lights in Tuscaloosa, be
fore long.
All the Yankee starch is used up !
Good, better, best. Then every family
will make its own starch out of bad
wheat and wheat bran from the mills.
Yankee blue-buekets are scarce !
Best of ail. The miserable things al
ways did annoy us. We hope every
one that has not fell to peices will.—
Then sojne enterprising mechanic will
buy a small steam enn'ine, and put up
a. bm ket ftc ory in Tusc.doosa. But
where is the steam engine to come from;
[j(--ach & Avery will have to make it.—
riieii there will bedeinan for workmen,
and for more iron. Then 'he iron-orc
will h .ve to be dug out of our hills ;
then the line necessary for the iron will
have to be mined for, and thus hun
dreds of laborers will find employment;
and all this, because a miserable, pain
ted anker, bucket could not be replaced
by another from Aew York.— Tuscalwssa
Observer.
The Vandal Blockade.
We publish in another column, from
the New York Herald, and account oi
'he hulk-blockade of our port, about to
l.e established by the Lincolnites. she
scheme is worthy of the Vaud.d wretch
es by whom 1 was coiiee;n-d, and their
itroiii; t to pul it in o execution may be
'og.'rded .is in evidence that they are
beginning to despair ofev.-r being able
to sn-'j'iß.ite the South or whip us into
the Union. Tfa-ye tii'-r have no faith
in lit Hr p! 'U (as w, have not), or they
or they do not exp< ct th(“ir coasters and
ste nicrs to t.ade in our waters hereaf
ter. Uot vinc'd ih it the ric tribute of
our comm ice is forever I >st to them,
hey won 1 i n they could l.ke the log in
the in innger, seal it from the c inmer
e'al world.
But we have no fear that their grand
Yaiikc-. 1 expedient will lie successful.—
If it should, for a lime,obstruct our har
bor more effectually than their valorous
fl -et his done, mid cl.miel us to the de-
V. I >|’ iji'mt ol our own resources, it
will do us ho great harm. But it is
hoi in the power of tlie Yankee nation
to control the currents of our rivers, nor
the tides ot ocean In due time the
same power that created our harbors
will open them, and if the effect of Yan
kee malignity and vandalism should
'■•e to forever close our | orts to their
trade or intercourse,we will have abuii
daiit cause to lie thankful. Our on h_
eru staple can uo be kept fr an the
commercial world by Yankee fleets
afloat nor Yankee wliale-liu'ks atiik.
1 re a tins to be seen h>w this das
tardly ayt of vandalism will be received
by the na ions of Europe, all ol whuin
would be more or less injuriously affec
ted by th<- destruction of die Gmf mid
.'oulb Atlantic h rbors. Not only
would they be debarred from commer
cial intercourse with tl.e southern halt
of this continent, but their ships mid
the lives of citizens would be imperilled
t>y the closing of our ports. From the
k y- of Florida to the mouth of the
Chesapeake there would not lie a har
bor ol refuge for their disabled ship
ping. The reckless malignity of the
design should call forth the indignant
protests of every enlightened govern
ment, mid cause every honest people
to execrate the name of the Yankee
vandals. Sacanwih h'eivs.

A CARD FROM PARSON BKOWNLOW.
Hditors <>f tne Avalanche,— in your is
sue of the 14th inst., there appears an
article upon the subject of affairs in
East Tennessee, in which I notice thia
paragr ph :
“It is reported that Parson Brownlow
had left Knoxville with thirteen guns,
and was a sympathizer in the Union
movement in that quarter.”
As I have no paper through which to
set myself right, and as this statement
di.es me great injustice, I ask of you
the favor of pul-hshing this brief card.
I have not at any time left Knoxville
with any guns, and have never had any
to furnish to any persons. Near three
weeks ago, I left for Blount County
Chancery Court, sixteen miles South ol
Knoxville, to try and collect some fees
due me in that county for adver'ising*,
and from th re I went to Sevier County
on the same business, which facts are
known to Col. Austin, of your city, who
saw me in Blount.
I have no knowledge of who are the
guilty parties in burning the Railroad
bridges, and never heard of any such
purpose lining entertained, until I heard
of the burning the next day I con
demn the act in the most unqualified
terms, mid I am not a sympathizer in
any such movement. I was one of fif
teen or twemy men, who, weeks ago,
addressed a communication to Gen. Zol
licoffer, pledging ourselves to oppose a
rebellion, and to counsel peace mid ac
quiescence on the part of the Union men
of Easi. Tennessee. I signed that docu
ment in good faith, mid I have kept
that faith. Ami furthermore, as one of
the signers of that document, which was
published in all the Tennessee papers,
if I had been plac d in possession of
any such purpose, I should have felt
myself bound in honor, and in all good
consci -neo, to have informed the offi
cers of the Roads of such outrageous
plot.. VV G. BBU’A NLOW.
