Wnmta Sthwte. V O 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. —-sUSt* - 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. —-ts 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 Appeal. 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. Bayard. I’. S. Since writing the above, it is authoratively stated that 22,000 Feder ate have left Columbia in Adair comity Ky., and are marching upon our right flank. Columbia is over 50 miles from here, and the road between the two points is impassable. Bayard. 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 tral Georgin. 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 sands of their friends. They came from no matter where—and were going— that’s no matter either : suffice it to say the invaders will soon find out vvheie their destinction is, who they are and where they are from.— C nfed racy I'ort Pulaski Invested.—Advices, from the Lincoln fleet off our coast, tire published in a late issue of the New Turk “Tribune.” among which is the following item : “Fort Pulaski is now thoroughly in vested.

Picayune, 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: Shall we end the war? When shall we end it? Aye, there’s the rub! In thirty dajs? Perhaps so. In three months? Assuredly, or mw are damned and done for! Funeral of the Late Gen. Felix K. Zollicoffeh.—We shall to-day (says the Nashville Union & American, of the 2d inst.,)pay the lasttribute to a brave, honorable and able civilian and soldier, before all that is m >rtal of h ; m is con signed to .he tomb. He was a Ten nessean whom all respected, at d whose name will be recorded on the the pages of immortal history. Sadness and muring will drape our city, but hence 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. At the last accounts, Gen. Critten den’s army wore at Livingston, Tenn . some sixty miles southwardly of tin field of the late battle. The army was rapidly re-organizing and recovering from the effec l of its defeat. Gen. Zollicoffer was a nobleman, both by decent and by profession, lb was a scion of a noble Swiss family, am! better still, he was a printer by trade. SCHOOL NOTICE. rpilE exercises "P Miss C.

January Ist, 1862 ts. 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 ed to submit tho information received upon his point, which is as follows : List of Ut-gimelds from the State of Georgia in the service of the Confederate States, and th'ir stations, Och 1 IS6I. !X L Regt.

Besides several independent companies in Virginia not yet organized into Battalions or Regiments. Although in the above statement Col. Ben ning’s Regiment is put down as at Lynchburg,, yet for several weeks oast it bus been at Ma nassas, and Col. Wrignt’s third Regiment has lately been at Roanoke Island. N. C. I have only added to the statement received, the word “Independent” opposic these Regiments that were received by Confederate Govern ment directly , and not not through our Ex ecutive The Regiment alluded to in the foregoing statement, as “not reported,” &c., no doubt are. Col. T. J. Warthen’s Regiment, “ Levi B. Smith’s “ “David J. Bailey’s “ “ ■■■■■ - ■ Littlefield “ now in Camp of Instruction in Georgia. In addition to these, tuereis another, more than full Regiment commrnded by Col. Cary W. Stiles stationed at Brunswick Georgia in the service of Confederate States’Government. Also three “ledependent Regiments” not tye full, but in camp in Georgia, viz: Col. Wm. 11. Stiles Regi’t, 5 Companies, Col. E. L Thomas “ 7 “ Col. Aug. R. Wrignt “ 6 “ Also, Col. C. A. Lamar “ 7 “ Received by the Confederate Goverrnment through State authority. Besides these there already three Regi ments in the service of the State, on or near the coast to be increased to six Regiments within the next twenty days, for the purpose of protecting the seaboard of Georgia. Thus it will bo seen that our State has at this time thirty-four full Regiments, (some more than full) and four partially filled Regi ments, together w ith three Battalions, and other independent companies in Virginia and Georgia, amounting in all to about forty Reg iments in the Cnfederate Governmen ser-. vice. And besides this there arc three Regi ments now the State service to be increased to six Regiments within the next twenty days for the defence of her seacoast. Os the Regimeets and Battalions in tho Confederate Government service. Georgia has armed accoutred and equipped twenty cne Regiments three Battalions, and several Companies attached to full Regiments—all of which accourtements, equipments, &c,, and a portion of the arms, have been piad for out of the $1,000,000 appropriation, as will be seen in ihe Abstract accompanying this Report, and from the" Reports of the Quarter-masters General.
