MARIETTA GEO..
FRIDAY MORNING FEB. 11. 1862.
THE PERMANENTGOVERNMENT
Os tho Confederate States, will bo
organized, as constitutionally provided,
on tho 22nd inst.,— the birth day of
Washington.
THE PRIVATEERS.
There seems to be no doubt of the
Lincoln Government having placed the
privateer prisoners on tho footing of
prisoners of war, an order to that effect
having been issued.
RECOGNITION-
Thc Paris Correspondent of the N. Y.
Herald says he has in his possession
information which establishes beyond a
doubt tb it the French Government is
bent on the recognition of the South.

FOR Til E WAR.
The Attlanta Intelligencer says the
Secretary of war has called for twelve
Regiments from Georgia. Several com
panics are now being’organized in this
County. See the advertisement of Mr.
King in another column.
PLANT CORN.
The importance of the next corn crop
cannot be over estimated by the South
ern people. It is probable that no sur
plus will be raised in Tennessc or Ken
tucky and the cotton States and our
immense military force will be mainly
dependent on our own productions.—
Grain is steadily advancing in price
and unfortunately ihc deman 1 for whis
key is converting vast quantities into
liquor and constantly enhancing the
price. The probabilty is that it will
pay far more per acre the ensuing
season than cotton and it will be fortu
nate for the country if tiie culture of
cotton this year is entirely substituted
by that of corn.
THE NEWS.
This week from North Carolina and
Tennessee, through depressing is not
worse than might have been anticipas
ted from the powerful Federal Expedi
tions and our long line of frontier
upon which wc have ninny- points
where invasion cannot be successfully
resisted. The South is in no condition to
resist tho naval advances of the Feder
ate and wherever their gun beats can
penetrate we may look rather for disas
ter than success. We can hardly hope
hat our large rivers can be put in a
condition to resist their occupancy.
If such invasion should not enable
them to destroy our lines of communi
cation —which seems to be the object
in North Carolina, Tenuesfee Kentucky
and Georgia, then they have little to
gain and no doubt Gens. Beauregard
and Johnston and the authorities at
Richmond are thoroughly awareof, and
prepared for the danger. Wc arc ap
proaching the crisis of the war. Great an
bloody battles arc about to transpire
The hosts to share the conflict are per
haps all marshaled. The Lour for de
cisive action, it may be, has arrived.—
The issue is with God.

Disi’epsia and Constipation. —This
disease is not to be cured by medical
prescriptions got from books. You
must get at the cause and remove it.—
Os a dozen dyspeptics, scarcely two
may be affected alike. In many cases
abuse of the stomach is doubtless the
troub'e. All aperient pills increase
the weakness which causes the com
plaint; to this rule there is no excep
tion. All nostrums and patent medi
cines, of whatever pretensions, are in
jurious. In no case can any relief be
obtained from their use.
Whoever uses tobacco or malt liquors
or other constant stimulant or even
coffee, and finds symptoms of indiges
tion, must first abandon those habits
and it will be time enough to think of
active medical treatment when it is
found that the disease is not then re-
RWV«d. Whoever lias troubled mind
or is confined to monotonous toil with
out exercise of labor or bodily recrea
tion and finds himself dyspeptic, must
first seek relief by correcting these
causes; for so long as they exist, pam
pering the disease, medicine can be of
no avail.
If there be any drain upon the vital
powers in any direction, beyond health
ful moderation, it must be checked be
foie we can hope to return to the di
gestive organs the vigor of which*they
#re robbed. No doctor’s stuff can sup
ply the natural forces which only the
sjtal chemistry of the living body can
create. I.ike intoxicating spirits dys
pcctic medicines may for the moment
exhilarates patient and make him feel
great things, but afterwind, tb<-y each
make the trouble greater than before.
Beware of tea and toast, and such
like diet as remedies for dyspepsia.—
Jhese do but impose unreasonble tasks
THE MARIETTA WEEKLY ADVOCATE.
upon impaired digestion. What is
wanted it exactly the oppositeregimen,
namely, food that is small in bulk and
rich in substantial nutriment; some
thing which, with the least power of
exertion the stomach can turn into.rich
blood to relieve the poverty of the
fluids. Rare beef-steak, for instance,
not fried in a pan of fat and sole leath
ered, but quickly embrowned on a grid
iron, and served up with the oozing
juices of red lit'?; and if fluid accompan
intent is desired let us try port, wine,
weakened to suit the strength of the
organs, but rather reduced in quantity
than watered much.
Bran bread is of no account in this
disease. It is excellent for constipation
if used now and then but not contin
uously. We mgst discriminate be
tween these complaints. In cons’ipa
tion, often the digestion is even super
excellent, and the torpor of'.he bowels,
which occasions the trouble, is due to
the too thorough absorption of the li
quid parts of our food, leaving a resi
dtim too dry and rigid to be freely mov
ed forward through the curvatures of
the low er bowels. The distressing af
fliction grows out of the impaction of
matter in the colon from this cause,
giving dull pains which banish sleep
and good humor. Pills are not the rem
edy for this distress, but tephid or cold
water injections, which readily roach
the colon, and by supplying moisture,
at an equal degree of dampness, cause
the latter to crack an often fall to pieces
The requisite degree of moisture is pre
served by occasionally throwing wa
ter over the model with a springe, the
rosehead of which is perforated with
very line holes by sprinkling it with a
large brush or by hanging wet clothes
over it during the intervals of labor.
Scientific American.
Poisoned Quinins —It is well known
that quinine, being \ery scarce, has
risen to a very high price, and the price
has tempted euterpi ising persons to
smuggle it into the Confederacy. Sus
picions have risen more than once that
deadly ingredients have been put into
quinine it, was suspected by enemies,
for the basest purposes. We have po
sitive evidence at this moment that
such is the case. A few days ago a
party, whose character is ab ve suspic
ion, called upon one of our principal
druggist and offered him a large quan
tity of quinine and morplrno for sale,
frankly explaining how lie got it and
where it came from. A slight exami
nation convinced the druggist that
there were grave reasons f r suspi
cion, and he advised, the holder of the
drugs to have them analyzed They
were taken to a professor of ch mistry
in the city, one of the most competent
men in the South, and package by pack
age was submitted to the process. The
result. was that. a portion of tiie pack
ages turned out to be qunine of excel
lent quality; an ther portion was mor
phine, also of excellent quality; others
weic quinine mixed with morphine in
such a degree as to render the whole
poisonous if given in quinine with a
slight admixture of morphine, not suf
ficient to be poisonous, and there were
others that had quin He, morphine, and
strychn’ne, together with various im
purities; these la'ter were of course
deadily poisons. We give these facts
noton hearsy but from our own inquir
ies of parties concerned. The qties ion
arises—is this the single and only hit
of these fatal mixtures that has been
brought south?
If any other than a competent and
skillful druggist had seen these pack
ages we might be having mysterious
cases of disease happening among us
at this moment. We therefore warn
all medical purveyors and apothecar
ies to examine strictly whether qunine
offered them for safe is put up in the
usual manner,'bears the ordinary trade
trade mark, and in the case of the least
doubt to have recourse to analysis.—
We also warn person buying quinine,
and we may properly include other im
portant medicines to go for their drugs
only to regular and skillful apothe
caries, to buy of no peddlars, grocer
ies, or even of apothercaries unless
skilled in their profession.— Memphis

Correspondence of the Nashville Banner.
From Howling Green.
Bowling Green, Feb. 4.
z\ cheerless, murky day was yester
day, and eminently calculated to pro
duce melancholy feelings and that
dreaded mental disease among soldiers
naustaliga.
There is nought to relieve the mili
tary monotony which has so long rul
ed in Bowling Green, not even the won
ted regimental parades, public reviews
and since the battle es Fishing Creek,
a rumor of even minor importance.
The Federate are knee deep in the
mud at Muinfordsville, throwing up an
immense fortification, and of a formid
able nature, whether intended for the
for the purpose of protecting troops in
their passage over Green River when
that “on to Bowling Green” shall be
announced, or after having crossed, as
a means of protection in the contingen
cy of a retreat, 1 wot not. Buell, gown
ed and slippered yet, has his headquar
ters at Louisville, directing the move
ments of five different divisions of the
Federal army now in Kentucky, the
numerical strength of which is not less
than 150,000 armed men. Since his ap
pointment to the command he now
leads each of the Yankee columns have
successive changed their positions, un
til, upon all sides, the army of the Coni
federacy is threateningly nianaced
Buell, to day has as large an army in
Kentucky, as that of McClellan loop-
erate on tho Potomac with an extent of
Territory under imincdiete protection
exceeding immeasurably, that of his
superior. He is a first class officer, a
dangerous foe, and one among the best
purchases yet made by the Yankee gov
ernment.
But while the military appointments
of the Yankees, for the purposes of of
fensive operations, are of an unquestion
ably superior character; 1 hose of our
so fir employed as upon the defensive,
surpass in the educated use made by
our officers of all the modern and ap
proved sciences <>f warfare; whether in
the construction of fortifications, or of
the inumerable protectives which the
admitted superior skill of our engineers
have planned, or of the different missi
les of warfare ftom a 128 pounder to a
finely polished and keenly sharpened
Bowie knife. Then, too our gei.ertifc,
possessed of Military knowledge held
by few in the world, brave and coura
geous, having the confidence of the
troops in their command, thoroughly
acquainted with the geography of the
country in which they are well inform
ed as to the movements of the enemy,
his force, &c., lends a hiatus to our’sol
diery that causes’ them never to falter,
bn the more nerves them for battle
and victory.
As to the probabilities of an engage
ment in this section of Kentucky sur
mises are as varied as they are farfetch
ed. back tor several months
upon the movements of both armies, 1
would not be .surprised if when the
spring campaign opens, both armies
will be found in and about the same
position they now occupy. We are
ready and waiting.
Gen. Buckner,s»expedition prepared
for the publicly announced purpose of
attacking Crittenden who,whith a force
of 13,000, is at Carrollton, has met
with ill success, being wind bound at
Russellville to South Carrollton is rep
resented as being worse than impassa
ble and, in consequence, no advance
may be anticipated for several weeks.

fi@fCapt. Jones, of the Washington
Rifles, Ist Regiment Georgia Volun
teers, arrived at home last week in very
feeble health. Ill’s description of the
sufierim.’.s of the troops of Gon. Jack
s >n's command 'luring the recent expe
dition to Bath, Hancock, and Romney,
arc heart reading. Indeed, the
ings of the soldiers during’ the most
trying days of the Revolut ion, were
noi irv»ro snvnro Prnqnontly was il
tb'.’ ease, said Captain Jones, that men
would become so benumbed with c Id
th it they could not walk at all, ai.d
would have to l-e carried ( ff by their
more fortunate comrades, ii rses weie
cons'autly slipping and falling upon
the frozen road, .sometimes killing them
selves by the fall. Bit' it is'inpossible
to describe the scenes i f suffering thro’
which this noble band of patriots have
passed. It was thought no hardship
could be more severe than that etidmed
by the seven companies while lost in
the mountains during the retreat from
Laurel Hill But, says Cipt. Jones,
that was nothing compared with cm
sufferings since. And that once power
ful but now feeble Iraine proves.th it
he has borne what man rarely bore be
fore. We presume there is not a man
of'Capt. Jones’company but loves him
as a father. No one could be more
kind to those under his command than
was he ; no man possesses more true
courage, no one was ever more ready
to share with his men all the hardships
and privation incident to asc Idlers
life ; and to see him return thus, worn
down by sickness and exposure, we
could scarcely refrain from tears. But
we did not set out to write such an ar
ticle as wc find before us. No matter,
“from the fullness of the heart the mouth
speaketh.” Our intention was to speak
more particularly of the hardships en
dured and services rendered by the ar
my of the North-west, and the amount
of credit bestowed upon them for it. —
The services of that portion of our ar ny
never will be fully appreciated.— Cen

Northern News.
We give below further extracts of
the latest Northern news received:
PRIVATEERS TO BE REMOVED TO FORT LAFAYETTE.
On the Ist inst., Marshall Millard
received the following letter from
Washington, relative to the removal
of the above prisoners:
Deparement of State, (
Washington, Jan. 31, 18(52. j
To lion. William Milward, Eastern
District of Bennsylvania, Philadel
phia.
Sir: —Please transfer all prisoners
charged with piracy,including William
Smith, who has been convicted to Fort
LaFayette, New York, and report the
name date arrest, and name of vessel
upon which employed, to the depart
ment. This includes offenders against
the laws for the prevention of the slave
trade.
I am sir, your obedient seev’t
Wili iam 11. Seward.
The parties lately belonging to the
Pretrel, and those <m board of the En
chantress, as prize crew from the .Jeff
Davis,were therefore,as reported in our
columns of yesterday, taken before
Judge Cadwallader, on Monday even
ing. aqd expressing a willingness so
further North, precluded any neces
sity lor additional action in regard to
them under the habeas corpus. Having
then been returned to Moyaincnsing
prison, they wili be taken to Fort La
fayette to-day in charge of the Mar
shal’s deputies.
They number thirty-eight, being three
less than were captured. One of them
a young foreigner, named Frank Alba,
died a short time ago; another, the late
Sharkey, is in the Hospital, another,
Lane, has been released.
This action will relieve the Union
officers who are held as hostages for
the pirates at Richmond, from a dilem
ma, and remove a painful anxiety from
the minds of their friends at home.
It is said that (he prisoners, during
their confinement, in addition to arti
cles of necessity, have been furnished
with many luxuries by certain families
of this city.
The prisoners exhibit an appearance
of having been treated kindly during
their confinement, and are robust and
comfortable
THE PRIVATEERSMEN AT FORT LAFAYETTE.
Upon the arrival of the boat contain
ing the privateersmen at Fort Hamite
ton, on Monaay, they were received by
Lieutenant Colonel Burke. Captain
Baker of the Savannah, with his com
panions, expressed much satisfaction
at being transferred from the City Pris
on to the Fort. Baker jocosely remark
ed to Deputy Marshall Borst, that
when he was released from Fort Lafay
ette he would sail in a Southern mau-of
war. The privateersmen occupy the
rooms formerly tenanted by the priso
ners transferred to Fort Warren.
PUNCH OX THEgWAR —THE RECEPTION OF MASON, AND
SLIDELL-THE NASHVILLE AND THE TCSCAROKA.
Punch is very jolly over the settlement
of the Mason and Slidell business The
cartoon of January 18th, represents
“Mis. Brittannia” as a stout and com
fortable dame, placidly handing a bun
dle of rods to “Lord John,” with the
remark:
“There, John! He says he is very
sorry, and that he didn’t mean to do it
—so you can put this back into pickle
tub.”
“Brother Jonathan” stands near, in
ar. humble attitude and with an expies
sion of contrition.
Punch hopes that there will be “no
fuss with Mason and Slidell,” and gives
this counsel to the people of Southamp
ton :
“You feasted Kossuth some years
ago, a:.d the other day you feasted the
Archduke of Austria. Apparently you
don’t much mind whom you feast ; ro
vided it is a celebrity. But pray, now
don’t*go feasting Slidell and Mason.
“We hive narrowly escaped from
being involved in a war, because of a
notion on the part of the Yankees that
we sympathize with the South. It is
advisable for us to abstain from any
act xvt.let. may tend to .-onfirtn that ab
surd but inveterate pi runasion. They
areas mad as snakes because the Nash
ville is lying in yoiirdocks. If you ask
Slidcil and Mason to dinner and drink
their healths, and have them ami your
orators spouting and speechifying, and
extoL'ing the British Lion, Yank-e Doo
dle, who does not. nndi-r.-.tand your on
tirusias - ic hospitality and dein >nstra
li vencss, wili assuredly regard your wel
come of tlu* Southern Commissioners as
a declaration i n the part of the people
of England and, for the Confed
erate side. Invite those gentlemen to
dine at your houses if you like, b it be
ware of giving them what continental
editors call an “ovation,” you cause all
your countrymen to be lumped by the
Yankee as Confederates wi'h the South
ern Confederacy. Be plascd therl'ore,
to deny yourselves on this occasion,
for once, the gratification of feasting
illustrious strangers, and oblige your
obedient and humble servant.
Bunch.
order to realize the immense
sum paid to gut soldiers, we have only
to compare our expenditures wi Ii those
of ot her imt ions. The French Budget
for 1861) was $65,000,000 jor a force, on
a war footing, of 750,000 men. Our ex
penditnres heretofore have been on an
average of SI,OOO annually per man,
rank and file. If we have 660,000 men
in the field, we are spending at the rate
of $660,000,000 annually. We must
add $150,000,000 for the navy, coast de
fenses, and the civil list. It requires
very lit'le calculation to discover that,
the war cannot bo waged very long at
such cost. This is one of the strongest
arguments for an immediate and vigor
ous movement of all the divisions of
our army.
The above is from the Evansville (la)
Journal, and it is but a fair specimen
of how the Yankee papers generally
talk. They are now beginning to do
what they entirely lost sight of when
they madly undertook the job of subju
gating tiie South-count the cost of the
war ! — Louisville (Ky.) Courier.
Troops.—Yesterday afternoon one of
Georgia’s favorite regiments arrived in
our city, and was greeted with the
cheers and heartfelt welcome of thou

say the invaders will soon find out
vvheie their destinction is, who they are

—We ha ve lately perused, with infinite I

some editorials of the Lincoln press
written at opening of this war. As a
specimen) of the spirit and hopeful char
acter of the whole we cull the follow
ing from the lucubrations of the Tribune
philosopher. It must be admitted that
the philosophic Horace has some claims
to the title of prophet for if the United
States are not damned and done fc.r,”
then the story of Troy,of Car tinge, &c.,
is a myth:

name will be recorded on the the pages
of immortal history. Sadness and

forth his name will be cherished as one
worthy of our highest regard and hom
age.
Government Aid to Railroads.—The
Richmond Examiner, of the 20th, says:
We learn that the railroad connection
through Tennessee and North Carolina,
recommended by Prt sident Davis, is
to be made a test question in Congress
as to the propriety of the Government,
viz: that reccommended by tlm Presi
dent, that completing tiie line now
wanting between Montgomery and
Jackson, and the Texas road, to com
plete communications between that
State and Louisiana.
The Brownsville (Texas) Flag
says : Many of the European houses
were preparing to meet the demands
made upon the Matamoros market to
satisfy the. wants of Texas and the
South. They have already imported
there a large- amount of coffee, bagging,
etc., and it is believed that we shall
soo:. have tree European commerce by
direct shipment to the Rio Grande.

From the Comptroller General’s Report.
The Regiments c.f Volunteers in the So
vice of the Confederate Government.
While reporting the expenses of oni State
for Military purposes—although not required
by law, yet I desired if it was possible to do*
so, to present the organization of the variouw
Regiments of Volunteers received into the
service by the Confederate States Government
—that is, to give the name of the Colonel,.
Lieutenant Colonel, Major, and the Captain»
and Lieutenants of Companies in each Regi
ment, the counties from which each Company
came, and, also the number of each Regiment
as given it by the Confederate States Govern
ment.
As much of this information could only bo
obtained from the Wer Department at Rich
mond, I have used my best exertions to obtain
the same from that point, without success. I
have only been enabled to get an official state
ment of the nutebering of the various regi
ments, reported or received nt that Depart
ment, up to the Ist of October, together with
the stations of the Regiments named. As
the numbers of many of the Regiments are
different from those given them when they
left Georgin, and as in all reports of the Con
federate officers, they will only bedesignated
and kdswn by the numbers given them b
the Confederate Goveri.mer.t, I have conduct
