MARIETTA GEO.. 1 FRIDAY MORNING FEB.'7. ISG2. - - THE SOUTHERN MOSTHLY. Mr. W. A. Frazer is the Agviit at this place for this valuable work. ' —o--®» JhEATH OF A VETER AN EDITOR. The Chat-lesion Courier comes to us in mourning- for the death of its Senior -Editor, A. S. Willing-! >n, Esq., at the I age of SI. He was a practical printer and connected with the Courier for six ty years. - ADDRESS TO THE PFOPI.E OF GEORGIA. Messrs. Cnbb, Toombs and other mem bers of the Provisional Government from Georgia have issued an aduiess to the people of the State intended, no , doubt to rally the spirit ol the State but which must have a depressing cl*, feet, wherever their influence extends. The tone of the whole article runs ap parently upon the forgone conclusion tbit we’havc nothing to animate us 1 ut dcspair— nothing- to hope, but from des peration. The Cicular will be found in another col uni, BE PA i l EAT. Son» of our people are getting- rest less and the press is I rgmn.:. t • cry “Up and at them.” Whetl; -r an offen sive wir at the outset would have been best for us or not it is useless to dis cuss. There can be no doubt that a defensive war is best for us now. at least while the winter las!s. The South would be as hopel ;sly do-cab d by Northern invasion at this.season as Na poleon was in Russia. The Yankees have availed themselves of our mild winter season to invade the South. Let us stand on the defensive and the approaching seasons will drive them back to their colder clime. 7/z-a the Southern armies may follow tin-m without undergoing hardships worse than battle. ■We have not lost faith in the wisdom of the Confederate Administration. On .ho- contrary- WO -think Tin wwnrrrmctit ever presented stronger claims upon the gratitude of its people cither in what it done or left undone. ilscob ii.ii.ru;. are m.any reasons for the be lief that the Southern p<->pb- will I e in --a-better condition, ecom-mieally. at the Close than at the 1 egiimiiig ol tin war. firn- forfum-s will chancre L inds our currency may greatly, depreciate the government will incur a heavy debt and taxes will be more, burdemiome fhanvi our previous history ; But, the South will haw saved j more than tin: war will cost. Assuming the point that our productions during the war will not [tall short, in value, of previ ous average, we would be ready to re new now or twelve months lu-iu-.; a prosperous commercial business on the B-mnd'basis ofjl these producti-.ns. In the meantime while we arc spending millions to carry on the war it is be yond question that we are saving mill ions by the very privations which the war involves We may regret the sub stitutes for coffee, and the absence- of heavy stocks of Dry Goods —but the South is saving the money, and Norths ern shipping and manufactures arc the real sufferers. This buoyant, condition ol the South is even now apparent. The limited operations in all branches of mercantile business is not owing to (he absen e of demand, but to the difficulty of procur ing supplies. There is now sufficient demand and means to back it to aliogd the most flourishing business even done in the South. At present our M relmuts arc com pulled to procure stocks under great disadvantages. Domestic ; with a limi ted supply have greatly advanced in price and foreign supplies are ncccs sarily in the same condition. Still, with advanced prices, the demand ex ceeds the Hiipplv. The largest business is done in heavy groceries owing to the large supplies furnished by the South —but in all • branches unexampled prosperity will prevail with the return of ample sup* plies and low prices. Our biu,iii<; men may be putting their houses in or der. The war must come to a close and when it does the Southern people j., will require the utmost stretch of mer* Tcuntilc enterprise.

IO THE PJ-lOBtB OF GEORGSA, Fellow Citizex’S :-In a few days the Provisional Government of the Confed erate States will live only in history.— With it, we shall deliver up the trust we have endeavored to use for your Lem-fit, to those morb directly selected by yourselves. The public record of oiiracts is familiar io you, and requires no further explanation at our hands.— Os those mattersSvliieh policy has re quired so lie secret, it would be impro per now to speak. I his address, there-• lore, will have no persona! reference. Wo are well assured that there ex ists no necessity for us to arouse your patriotism, nor to inspire your confi dence. We rejoice with you in the una nimity of our State -in its resolution and its hopes. Ai dwe are proud with you that Georgia ’mis been “illustrated,’’ and we doubt not will be illustrated again by her sons in our holy struggle. The first campaign is over—each party rests in [dace-- while the winter’s snow declares an armistice fr -m on high.— The results in the fields are familiar to von, and we will not recount them. To some important, facts we call your at t ent ion . First. The moderation of our own g’overnmen ami the fanatical madness of our enemies have di-parsed al! differ ences of opinion among our people, and united them for ever in the war of In dependence. In a few nordcr stat -s a waning opposition is giving way be fore the stern logic of daily developing facts. The world’s history does not give a parallel instanceol a Revolutian based upon stich rmauimity among the people. Second. Our • homy has exhibited an e'nergv, a perseverance, ami an amount ol resources which v.u Lad har dly expected, aiid a disreg it'd of Con— st'itnti ui an ' Laws which we can h'tir dly credit The result of both, howev - er, is that power, which is he cl arm--, teristic element of despotism, and ren ders it as formidable to its enemies as it is d'-struetive to its subjects. Third. An’immense army has been or ganized for our destruction, winch is being disc.ipih.ed to the e.iitlimki.ig-sto lidity of regulars. M till ike cneinsive possession of the seas—our enemy is enabled to throw upon the shores of every State (lie nucleus of m army.— Ami the thraet is made a,nd donbthms the attempt will follow in early -priii ■■ to crush u ; with a giant's .grasp by a siinultam ous 'novi n mt al<mg our en tire Lord- r.s Fourth. With wb:iicvei alacrity our people may rush to arms ami with what ever energy our Government may use its resources, wo cannot <xpect t.> cope with our enemy either in nn -C --equipments or munitions or war. To provide against those odds, we must took to desperate cotjr.-.ge, unflinching daring, and uvit-ers: 1 s-ls sacrifice. Fifth. i’lie prospect ol I'ure'gii in - terferrenee is, at least, a remote one, and should not be relied, on. If it come •- let it be only auxilary to our own pre parations for freedom. To our God and ourselves alone we should look. These are stern facts—perhaps some «>f them are unpalatable. But we are deceived in you would have us to con ceal them in order to deceive you. —- The < lily question for us ami for you is: As a mat on and individual! y,what have we to do? We answer: First —As a nation, we should be un ited, forbearing to one another frowning up- n all factions opposition and cen sorious criticisms, and giving a truthful ami generous’ confidence :o those selec ted as our leaders in the camp and tl*e Council-Chamber, Second—We should excite every nerve and strain ever muscle of the body politic, to maintain our financial and military hcalthfuln -ss, and by rap id aggressive action make our enemies feel, at their own firesides, the horrors of a war brought on by themselves. The more impoi tant mat;er for you, however, is your individual duty.— What can you do? The foot of the oppressor is on the sod of Georgia He comes with lust in Lis eye, poverty in his purse,ami hell in his heart. He C'-mes a robber and a murderer. How shall you meet him?— With the sword at the thresh' Id With death for him or for yourself. But more than th s—let every woman have a torch,•every child a (ire brami.

I'his may your terrible choice, ami de termine at once and without dissent,, a-i honor and patriotism, and duty to God require. Fellow (Jitizbm-i : —Lull .1 yourselves into a fatal s<icnrity. ! prepared ibr every contingency. This is our only hope for a sure and honorable peace.— If our enemy was to day convinced that the feast herein indicated would welcome him in every quarter of this Cuulctlci UUJ -\V< I.

Let, then, the smoke of your homes, fired by woman’s hands, tell the ajtproacliing- foe, that over sword and bayonet they will rusji only to fire and ruin. "Wo have faith in God and faith in vou.

The year past tells a sto ry of heroism and success, of which our nation will never be ashamed. 1 hese considerations, however, should only stimulate us to greater deeds and no* bier efforts.

In stead of begining with Manassas,he will probably end with the scene ol tormei defeat, and, instead of advancing upon it from the line of the Pot -mac, his blows will come ftotn a direction which will not only insure victory, but make it a conclusive battle, destroying the whole force, of the t-m-my, and eat ing off all chance of retreat. We hope, therefore, that General M Ciell,;n will resist every attmept to pre. uij itate evenls before he is ready, and that the President and Cabinet will sustain him in his course, especially in view of the f ct that next month the puricj of cnlistmeiif m -the .' : mi!ler:i a. my fin- one year will have expired, ami great numbers of Ihe v. :i; refuse to.i-e-enlist Meantime it is the duty of Congriss 1.) rcplcnisii an empty Trcasnrv, -'ind sustain ihe Government by such vigorous ami compi. ln-hsivc finhifcia' mcasuics as the ma • nitride ol the w -r lor the Union demamls. ‘-'i'fic Crisis at Hand,” i rider this head one of our contem.- jmrarii s says that the pinch of the struggle is just no<w comin...-- in Ken* tucky and on the co nst -and it the Hes sian armies are defeated, the war is at an end. This is true ; but it imiy tilso be truly said that every--m imtntofwar i- a erinir, since, however slowly, th -of success or rlisast'-r arc de veloping. Thus the failure to ’properly obstruct the inside approaches to Sa vannah river, though it might have oc curred in midsummer, was a ‘‘crisis,” tin.ugh nobody know it, which will give a great deal of trouble. The war itself may be determined l»y a colloca tion of little events, just as it was oc casioned. Few .supposed the split in the Democratic party of G'harleston, was going Io be the occasion (not the cause) of a civil war ; but it was.— w.. i,. ~,i ~r ... nn the “Macon'Alarm' C’oimrifttce” who were badly hooted at lor the apprehen sions they expressed as to that; split might grow It was a big crisis--but not fully appreciated at the t ime. — Macon Telegraph. Beauties of the Stay Law.— A writer in the Raleigh Standard gives the fol lowing instances of the working of the Stay Law : “Only yesterday, a man refused to puy his hotel bill upon the ground that (he collection of it could not be forced by law, whereupon the creditor felled the party to the ground with his fist, and forced him by personal violence to pay the debt. This affair gives rise to a criminal prosecution some, day, and possibly to a civil suit for damages.— Last weik one party went and forcibly ejected a man and his family from a house and premises, the possession of which was unjustly detained and re* fused upon the ground that the remedy was distant r l his gives rise to three or four’suits. In an adjoining county the most violent outrages have been com* mitted upon a public officer for simply doing his duty under the act. These offences are not isolated and few in number—they are frequent, and give cause for serious alarm to every good citizen. And the fear is too well foun ded that this act gives such unrestrained license to offenders against criminal and I civil justice, that in the end it will bo extremely difficult to restore order, har mony, and a due observance of the law.” Hoggish.—The Shelby (Cleveland County) .’.onutain Eagle, of the 23d inst., says : “A drove of hogs from Tennessee, numbering nearly four hundred, passed through our town last week for some point South. The Owner said he be lieved he would take fourteen cents lot two lame hogs, but did not wish to sell under 16 or 17 cents—rather tall pork in' ihe hair.” That man ought to be turned into a swine, and the devil ought to be turned into that, and the whole arrangement ought to be ’.urned info the sea. Where does that man expect to go when be dies ? mlngtoit Journal. Good- but if all the soulless extor tioners who are now preying upon the South were put in the same herd,.there would be a sensible dirnunitiou of our population. --Savannah Neir-s Backing Down.—A correspondent of (lie .Now York Herald states that there is an ardent disposition on the part of the govci nment io conduct the war as vi. orously.-is possible, yet on as hu mane prim ipies as is consistent with -.he grea- object in view—the restora tion of the Union. At a recent Cabinet meeting on" of the in discuss ing tin pi-.'\ item - qm-stion, isjlundcr sto >d to have remar :cd in substam-c : e are str ring to rest--re the Fiii-.m and preserve the Constitution. We all trust to see the Cnionj once more res tored ; but in order to succeed in achiev ing his great result, we must leave no festering wound behind to rankle and corrode for generations to come. No such wound lias Act’been inflicted on either side ; but the hanging of prison ers will inflict such a wound.’’ This remark and the arguments and illustra tions by which it was accompanied, is said to have produced a powi rful ef fect on the minds of the other members T.ie President himself is 'understood to be in favor of placing the privateers* men in the same category as other pris oners of war. 'File Burnside Expedition, I om-mss Monroe, Jan. 28.—8 y the* a rri val of the •steamer Eastern States we have the most direct ami official intelligence of arrival of the Burnside expedition at its des. ina; ion. ihe Eastern State left Ilatieras Inlet last night, and arrived here late this even ing-. '1 he recent storms were umiwilly se vere at Hatteras, uiid consequently de layed and crippled the cxped ; ion; but when the Fastrnn State left,everything looked favorable. The expedition sailed from Hampton Roads on the 11th and 12th instants, and consisted of one hundred ami twen -Iy-i;vc vessels of all classes. They ar rived at Ilatteras between the 16th and 17th, having been greatly r< tarded by ko'-cri’ storms and adverse- winds, which' pi■evniled about, that time, .fl ter th.-ir arrival, they expcrieiic-ed a se ne; ol storms ol such iinparellclr-d se verity ’.ha; for two days in succession, on more than one occasion, it was im poss u > le to hold comm mi ica t ion between any two x'essels of the fleet. Alter the first storm it wa:; discov ered that, instead of vessels drawing eight ami a half feet being able to go over the swash, or bars, as Gen, Burn side had been informed,.no vessel draw ing over seven and a'quartcr fee: coni ' pass in Pamlico Sound. No vessel either, could pass the sidebar drawing over thirteen feel, unless skilfully pilot led; coiiseqiii utiy the .steamer C’iiy of New A’ork struck on the bar, loaded will: a cargo valued al $200,000, and e.m J ding of powder rifles, ami bombs, ami proved a total loss.

An unknown schooner laden with oats and another schooner, also un - known, were all lost on the beach. Six of the crew ol' the latter perished. The steamer Louisiana sTuck on the bar, where she still remains. The re port of her having been burned is in incorrect. She may be got off. The Eastern Queen and also the Voltigeur are ashore. The latter will probably be got off. 'I he water vessels had not reached their destination when the Eastern State left, and had it not'bcen for the condensers on board of some of the vessels and on shore, terrible suffering would have occured. As it was, the xtater casks were old whiskey, cam pliine, and kerosene oil casks. It is ihought that the Union pilots of Hat teras have proved themselves traitors, having intentionally run several ves sels ashore. One of the storms can only be described as terrific. The waters in every direc tion were covere 1 with foam, the waves dashing with a clear sweep ac o s the Hatteras shore, anccimpletc ly cutting off the Post from all outside communication. The current was rush ing at the rate of five miles per hour ami the chop seas prevented GeM, Burn side from answeiing any of the sig nals, of di tre s >r communication with his Gem rids.
