GEORGIA.
It is said that some twenty thousand
volunteers responded in Georgia to the
requisition for tweve thousand
FROM VIRGINIA.
The letter of “H. Cainp Johnson near
Occuquan” was received too late' for
the purpose for which it was design
ed.
arrested.
John M. Botts and several others
have been arrested in Richmond as dis
loyal to the Government.
THE FRENCH NEWS.
An address to the Emperor by the
French Senate “regrets the suffering
on account of the war and the effect it
has upon manufactures ; but agrees
with the emperor that the friendly rela
tions of the two countries render neu*
trality incumbent.”
THE NEWS OF THE WEEK.
Will be found highly interesting,
both in events which have transpired
and those indicated. From the latter
indeed we may now count with certain
ty upon the near approach of the hour
which will perhaps fix our destiny. The
almost en mass levy of the Militia of
Virginia—the reported withdrawal of
our army from Manassas to the Rappa
hannock—the superior force of McClel
lan in front—the threatened movement
of Burnsides in rear—all indicate spee
dy action in Virginia.
Such, also, are the indications übout
Memphis. Never in the history of a
people was there more at stake than
now hangs suspended by a few short,
brief hours
Bgfc. We clip the following items from
the Memphis Appeal :
The River Above —It does not become
us to write all that comes to our knowl
edge in relation to the number and
position of our forces on the river
above. But we can advise our people
not to be lulled into false security by
injudicious and ignorant statements
of either men or newspapers. We
were shown on yesterday a private
letter from an intelligent army officer,
giving us an idea of the situation,
which show- th it we are not so well
prepared ns we should be. He writes
that they need a large force to man
our artillery, heavy and light. Capt.
Bankhead’s splendid company alone c m
accommodate fifty fresh recruits who
si ould report themselves immediately.
The heavy guns, too, require an addi
tional force, and officers are now in the
city authorized to give as much as one
hundred dpllars bounty far them, so
soon as they are (sworn into service.
Has the time come, we ask, when men
shall be called for in vain, to defend
their liberties and their property ? The
fate of Memphis and the Mississippi
valley depends on our power to hold
our position above. If the fearful tale
of disaster is ever told, it must not be
•aid that it was for want of men. Let
patriots rush forth, therefore, and fill
up the vacant ranks, before it becomes
too late.
From New Madrid.—'' € have infor
mation from New Madrid up to’ 5 o’clock
P. M.. yesterday, (Gth).
Some little skirmishing had taken’
place between the pickets, but nothing
decisive had occurred. A Federal
prisoner reported their force, investing
tat* cs< »n»i h t.i ot twenty five
regiments of infantry, three of cavalry,
and twelve batteries of artillery.
On Monday night a heavy cannonading
took place, without any particular
result.
Gen. McCown, who was in command,
was confident of being able to hold the
position.
Our troops were in fine spirits.
The Federate were throwing up in
trenchmeets four miles back from the
river.

Our Destiny.
Is it possible that I look at things in
a proper light? Let us stop a moment
and reflect and amine ourselves and out
course What are we doing? We are
all frail beings and cannot see far into
the future; we never know what a day
will brinjfforth; yet we all have out
views of things, p -st and ahead, and
one man’s opinion or notion is worth
about as much as another. Mine is this
and if it is worth anything, examine it
and profit by it: The course that a
large mass of the of the citizens of the
Southern Confederacy are taking, is
whipping the South most awfully, and
if the Yankees will just stop and be
still, they .need not fight any more; we
will soon whip ourselves.
Only be still one moment and let
your mind survey your acquaintance
around you, and you will find that very
many of the citizens in every communi
ty, who made the most and the loudest
noise about secession and fighting for
our rights, they, in to many instances,
are now the ones that arc staying at
home, and going to war is the farthest
from their mind, but running here and
there trying to speculate upon the sol
diers, even that have gone to do out
fighting as well as those that are be
hind.
Take, for instance our Cotton Fac o
ries, twelve months ago they werj buy
ing cotton at from 10 to 11 cents and
making it into Osnaburgs and selling
it a J J to 12| cents; now they are buy
inte th- c. ’tton at 8 to 81 cents, and sell
ing Hie U.na!’urgl> at 25 to 28 ceutß,
and making a larger per cent, on light
er homespuns. Bui they say _the de
mand makes it so high. That is
a false pretext. What is there about
it to make it cost any more tha.n it did
twelve months ago? Nothing but a
principle that is false, untrue to the in
terest of our Confederacy, and that
principle ia this—it is the love and de
sire of staying at home and making
money out of this war, instead of going
and fighting like true Patriots. These
men could sell their goods at 10 to 11
cents and make 20 per cent, more than
they did twelve months ago. The
same may he eaid of all goods of their
manufacture, Men h< ve already been
heard to say that they would not care
if every factory in the State were blown
up .
What better can we say of the Tan
nery and Shoe business? They are buy
ing up hides at from 8 to 12A cents pet
pound which are the old prices, when
they made negroes shoes from£sl.2s to
$1.75; now $2.25 to $3.00, when the
leather cannot cost them unless they
buy it from a brother speculator,gon an
average exceeding 30 or 35 cents per
pound, when the average weigh* of the
THE MARIETTA WEEKLY ADVOCATE.
shoes will not be two pounds per p'air.
So yon can see the exorbitant price
and dwarfish patriotism. Shoes have
been made up and sent to the soldier
out of infeir r leather, not a particle of
calfskin about them, pegged soles that
did not weigh two pounds, and allow
ing 80 cents per pound Tor the leather,
$1.60,-‘they chargingss.so—making the
$3.90 for making the shoes. This is a
pretty good days work for a negro
shoemaker, cost perhaps one dollar per
day, these characters are helping to
carry out secession and gain our indo
pendene with a vengeance.
Talk about distilleries. Congress
it is said has passed an act, or the Con
federate authorities have ordered the
seizure of corn to stop distilling God
grant it may be done, but I am notable
to see which is doing the most harm of
the three evils mentioned. There are
not few of the speculative evil-doers in
our Confederacy, and if they could all
be put together and into a Brigade and
put under Ben. McCulloch or Jeff.
Thompson, it would be the bigest now
in the Southern Confederacy; and I
honestly believe they are doing more to
whip the South than all the Brigades of
the enemy.
I mentio-.. these as onljr'a few instan
ces <>f the terrible armyjW'no are mak
ing capital of the war soeculation 1
don’t know that I would be goir g to,
far to say that our government would
be doing well to stop awhile the man
ufacturing of munitions ol war till this
class of 1 don’t know what to call them
are put down, or curbed in some
vay.
This arti -le already getting too
lengthy, but my duty io soldiers already
in the field compels me to notice ano h- 1
er cte.ss; it is this: Much the largest
| portion of our army is made of men
who have but little at stake, or to fight
for. But says’he wealthy gentlemen,
I am making it up by my heavy tax' s.
You are paying tax on what yo.i are
worth; the poor, or man of little wealth
is doing the same, while many of them
and their sons are enduring the hard
ships of a camp life as well as the suf
ferings of the bat le field, and in many
instances, furnishing themselves with
necess try clothing and covering to
make their their lives and health se
cure.
This last complaint is not intended
to be as a general thing, for there are
very many who are doing noble deeds
of courage and of liberality while other
are s aying at home w itching at every
point and corner, not only to hold what
they have but to grasp still more ami
teircp th<4r-tm>wwß scre.wjeJ.so tight: that
the air can’t even enter. fsr.TTT. —
this war is over, this is a stigma that
will follow this class of men though
life, and unfortunately their Hiildreu
afier them. Tell me not hat these men
can lay their hands upon their hearts
and say with a clear conscience tint
they feel that thev are doing their duty
Tell me not that these men of exorbi
tant prices and charges, because the
demand is so great are jus ified; but if
you will tell me that it is for the want
of that sort of material which consti
tutes a true patriot,then I will believe
you.

Next Blow on the Southern Coast.
COMMODORE PORl'Eli’s MORTAR FLEET —NEW OR-
• LEANS AND MOBILE THE I’OINTS TO BE ATTACKED.
A portion of the morfllr flotilla,which
has been so long fitting out at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard, under the charge
of Commodore Port r, sailed for its’
destination several weeks ago and at
intervals ever since then, other vessels
of the fleet have put to sea for the
Southern rendezvous.
Our telegraphic dispatches yesterday
morning announced that five ships of
expedition, on the 6th instant, arrived
at Ship Island, in the Gulf Mexico, and
that two were spoken off Havana on
the 11th. This leaves barely a doubt
but that the flotilla is intended to oper
ate against New Orleans or Mobile, or
both pl ices, and, in all probability, in
connection with General Butler’s com
mand. The greater pot tion of his
troops are now at Ship Island; and,
yesterday General Butler sailed fiorn
Boston to assume command.

and PensacoL, like Columbus, has be<-ri
evacuated—our army there, with all its
immense armament, has taken a more
favoral le position for defence. Upon
these changes of position brought about
by circumstances we have no comment
to offer. They were doubtless dictated
by military skill in the art of warfare.

Joint Prolamation.--The following

Proclamation from Ccm Goldsborough
and Gen, Burnside “to the people of

Roanoke Island, N. C. Fib. 18.—The
mission of our joint expedition is not to
invade any of your rights, but to assert
the authority of the United States, and
to close with you the desolating war
brought , upon your State by compara -
tively a few bad men in yourmids’.
Influenced infinitely more by the worst
passions of human nature than by any
show of elevated they are still

They impose upon your credulity by
telling you ol wicked and even dia
bolical intention on our part; of our
desire to destroy your freedom, de
inolish your property, liberate your
slaves, injure your women, and such
like enorrnities-all of which we assure
you, is not only ridiculous, but utterly
and willfully false.
We are Christians as well as your
selves, and we profess to know full
well, and to fell profoundly, the sacred
oi ligations of the character
No apprehensions need be entertain
ed that the demands of humanity or
justice will be disregarded. We shall
inflict no injury, unless forced to do sq
t>y your own acts and mpon this you
may confidently r‘Jy.
I hose n’en are y >ur worst enemies.—
They ia truth, have drawn you into
your present condition, and are the real
disturbers of your peace and the hapi—

We invite you, in the name of the
Constitution, ami in that of v rtuos loy

selves at once from these malign influ
ences, to return to your allegiance,
and not compel us to resort further to
the force under our control.
The Government asks only that its
authority may be recognized; and we
repeat in no manner or way does it des
ire to interfere with your laws, consti
tutionally establis’ ed, your institutions
of any kind whatever, your property
of any sort, or your usages in any res

Judge Halliburton ou the American
Crisis.
At Alcworth, on the 27th January,
" v ".tfunit'o Hnlliburtim-.-'M-. P, deliver
ed an address on the American crisis,
lie gave a history America, the object
of which was to show that the hatred
of the North towards England orgina
in the first settlement of the country,
for the emigrants to New England,
were persons who bad been virtually
expelled from the mother country. Re
ferring to the present war, he said—
“Of the causes of the war, with tho
South i' is not neccessary for me to
say much. The principal are, that by
the exorbitant tariff they compelled to
pay an extravagant price for die man
ufactures of the North; that by the
navigation laws they are in a manner
forced to employ American shipping at
a higher rate of freight than they can
afford; that by the interpretation put
on the words ‘coas ing trade,’ they are
driven to employ the ships of the North
that emmissaries arc continually sow
ing sedition among the slaves, while
the ‘Fugitive Law’ is evaded by the
Yankees, and every impediment placed*
in the way of recapturing their negros;
and many other giievances of minor
importance. But whatever the cause
may be, on the part of the North, one
thing is certain notwithstanding all the
cant and hypocrisy they have hitherto
exhibited, it is not for the emancipation
or amelioration of the condition of the
negro. Perhaps, after all, secession,
like divorces a mensa et thoro, arises,
from total incompatibility of temper
inclination, acd pursuits. The South
erners are the gentlemen of the nation,
they hold the Yankees very cheap, re
garding them as pet y traders or ped
lars, while the Yankees many oppor
brious epithets for them not necces-ary
to repeat. hatever are the causes of
dispute are latent or avowed, there
they stand opposed to each other in
deadily conflict.”

of the Southern Sta-es, or their return

THE WAR IN TENNESSEE
Ch.cago, Feb. 27.—A special dispatch
to the I imes of this city, dated ( larks
ville, the 23d inst., gives the following
gloomy account of the state of feeling
among the populiv’ion there. It says
there is but one Union man in the place
and he is sixty years old, he would been
killed long ago. The Hon. Cave John
son, who was a poweiful advocate for
the Union until the war commenced, is
now as powerful an advocate on,the othe
side. He says that the only effect ol
our su cess will be Io drive the people
of Tennessee into the mountains, and
render them desperate.
There is not a spark of Union feel
ing here, and no one pretends to dis
guise the fact. The people of Clarks
ville glory in secesssion, but at the
same time they tremble lest the town
should be burn d. There was a large
quantity of rebel stores, a portion of
which was curri d off and the remain
der destroyed. The rebel leaders ship
ped a thousand negroes last week from
Clarksville.

After a long and exciting deba e, Mr
S arke of Oregon has been admitted, by
a vote of 29 to 19, to take his seat as a
Senator from that State, succeeding the
late Colonel 8.-k<'r Such was the feeling
on this question, that Senator Sumner
in debate that “if the facts before us
are true, then is the claimant a disloy
al man; and further, I say that these
facts in every fespect beyond all ques
tion beyond every peradventure, con
stitute disloyalty with rtgard t<>
which there can be no question and
which if, when presented as it now is

Mr. ? tarke is to take his seat.
The Sad Side of ths Picture.—The
following private letter, written by a
former attache of New York Postoffiee
presents another side of the victory
gained at Fort Douelson from that
which is gen rally contemplated:
Fort Donelson, Tenn., Feb. 17th,1862.
My Dear Father: Sad, lonely and
down hearted, 1 attempt to write a
few lines, to let you know I am alive
and unhurt. We have had a most
bloody fight; there must have been five
thousand to seven thousand men killed
and wounded on both sides. But the
enemy surrendered on Saturday even
ing, we taking about 13,000 prisoners.
But, dear father, the hardest part of the
story is that out of eighty-five men in
my company, only seven came out—
the most wholesale slaughter that was
Aly company was the color company i
! at which the Rebels took
as fast as one man who carried 1! 1
would be shot another would take his
place, but the flag was through. Only
one hundred anil sixteen remain in the
11th Regiment uninjured.
Do not wonder, dear father, that I am
down-heared. buy boys all loved me
and need I say that, in looking at the
p< or remnant of my company—the men
that I have taken so much” pains to drill
the men that 1 thought so much of-now
nearly all in their graves—l feel mel
ancholy. But I do not complain; Gori
sparsd my life and for what he future
must tell. I will write you soon again.
The Eleventh Regiment will I think,
(what is remaining,) be left to guard
the prisoners at Cairo or Alton, whilst
they recruit. Whether 1 shall attempt 1
to raise another company, I do not 1
know at present Good bye. Let the ]
folks at home knew I am safe. ,

The Regiments of Volunteers in the So

While reporting the expenses of om 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 various
Regiments of Volunteers received in.tb the
service by the Confederate States Government
—that is, to give the name of the Colonel,
Lieutenant Colonel. Major, and the Captains'
and Lieutenants of Companies in each Regi
ment, the counties from which each Company
came, and, also the number of eaeh Regiment
as given it by the Confederate States Govern
ment,
As much of this information could only be
obtained from the.Wer Department at Rich

the same from that point, without success. I
have only been enabled to get an official state
ment of the nuwbering of the various regi

Besides several independent conipnniea 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 past it has been at Ma
nassas, and Col.-Wright’s third Regiment has
lately been at Roanoke Island. N. C. I have
only added to the statement received, tba
word “Independent” opposie these Regiments
/hat 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. f. J. Warthen’s Regimen*,
“ Levi B. Smith’s “
“David J. Bailey’s “
“ Littlefield “
now in Camp of Instruction in Georgia.
In addition to these, t ere is another, more
than full Regiment coinmrnded by Col. Cary
W. St.les stationed at Brunswick Georgia in
the service of Confederate States’Government.
Also three “ledependent Regiments”"not tya
full, but iu camp in Georgia, viz:
Col. Wm. 11. Stiles Regi’t, 5 Companies,
Col. E. L Thomas “ 7 “
Oftl. Aiifr. R. Wrififiit ** 6 **
Also, Col. C. A. Lamar “ 7 “
Received by the Confederate Goverrnmenk
through State authority.
ueoi-? 8 these there already three Regi
ments in the service of the State, on u? 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 be seen that our State has at
this time thirty-fbur full Regiments, (some
more than full) and four partially filled Regi
ments, together with three Battalions, and
other independent companies in Virginia and
Georgia, amounting in all to about forty Reg
intents in the C<'niederate Governnien ser
vice. And besides this there are three Regi
merits now tlie State service to be increased
to six Regiments within the next twenty days
tor the defence of her sea coast.
Os the Regimeets and Battalions in the
Confederate Government service. Georgia
has armed accoutred and equipped twenty
cue .Regiments three Battalions, and several
Companies attached to full Regiments-—all
of winch acenurtemonts, equipments, 4c,,
and_a portion of the arms, have been piad
for out <>f the $1,000,000 appropriation, as
will he seen in the Abstract accompanying
