JUrwafe. MARIETTA GEO.. FRIDAY MORNING MARCH 14. 1862. THE I/ADIE’S AID SOCIETY Will meet at Connell’s Hall, at 10 o’clock on Saturday morning ; all persons wishing to con tribute to the Hospital in Atlanta, will please eend their contributions to the Hall at that hour. M. E. ROBARTS, Pres. March 13tb, 1862. THE CENTRAL RAILROAD Will transport no more liquor after the 15th inst. 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. Fcderal Official Reports of the Oc curation of Columbus.-Gen. Halleck makes the following report to Gen. .Vc- Clellan under date of St Louis, March 4 th: Sir: The cavalry from Paducah marched into Columbus yesterday, at sixP.

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. Secessionist. Thomson, Ga., Feb. 22, 1862. [From the Chicago Tribune, Feb. 22d J 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. With tho light draught and easily managed mortar vessel compiising Com. Porter’s flotilla, the reduction of the rebels forts on the Mississippi be low New Orleans, would seein tu be an achievement of no difficult accomplish incut. After tho robcls tin? ►»•»« -]}«-«< <»«it ol the forts the Mississppi wijl i|tlord a noble highway for the heavier war vessels and troop transports to New Or'eans. Ihe city may also be ap pt oached from Lakes Pontchirtrain and Borgne, and the reducti- n of the forts guarding the passes into thee lakes will enable our war vessels to penetrate from the hast to within a few miles of the city. War MovkmL'N’ts —Today we have some intelligence to give, vyliich lias been kept dack thus fin" from prudential motives. The army from Centreville and Manassas has fallen back <o a strong position on the Rappahannock; 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. Atlanta Intelligencer March Bth. The New York Evening Post says reinforcements have been sent to Gen. Burnside, which will increase his forge i tr> to.onn Joint Prolamation.--The following I Proclamation from Ccm Goldsborough and Gen, Burnside “to the people of North Carolinia,” savors of the usual amount of Puritan cant and inflated pa triotism: 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 11 gi u l? y° n astray their un holy purposes. 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— ness of your firesides. We invite you, in the name of the Constitution, ami in that of v rtuos loy alty and civilization, to seperate your 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 pect. L. M. GOLDSBOROUGH, Flag-Officer Com’g N. C. Block. Squad A. E. BUR -SIDE, Brig-Gen. Com’g Department N. C. a ■ 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.” MB Yankee Democrats Growling.—The Idiotlv Xtsltiud <lori*<4oi*«itio Ooiivoh- tion, which met last week, nominated Gov. Sprague for re-election,and parsed among Other resolutions, one declaring that “the effort now being in.ide to drive this war from its original purpose and to turn it into a war for the eman cipation of slaves and he subjugation of the Southern Sta-es, or their return to a Territorial condition, is an effort against the Union, against the Consti tution, against justice and ag»inst hu manity, and should be promptly frowned upon by all the friends of Democratic institutions. From Paducah.—The Federate, ac cording to late information are making Paducah the head quarters of their wes tern division—over one hundred and twenty five steamboats have, in the 1 ist few days been plying between that place and up the Tennessc and Cum berland, A whole row of brick houses fronting the river, is used for maga zines, and over 200,000 pounds of powder are said to be stored in them. Our informant crossed the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers lust week, and says that the two rivers swarm with boats, Mtmphi* Appeal I Northern News, [Fmm the New York Herald,2Bth ult.J 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. THE WAR IN ARKANSAS. St. Louis, Feb. 27 —The following dispatch was sent from head quarters to-day to MajornGeneral McClell n, I 'Vrtshington: “General Curtis has taken possession of Fayetteville, Arkansas, capturing a number ol prisoners, stores, baggage, &c. The enemy burnt put of the town before leaving. They have cross ed the Boston mountain in great con fusion. We are now in possession of all their stiongholds. “Forty-two officers and men of the Fifth .Missouri cavalry pjisened at Mud Town, by eating poisd food, which the rebels left behind them. The gal lant Captain Ashman have suffered much, but are recorering. 'I he indig nation of our soldiers is very great but they have been restrained from retalia ting upon the prisoners of war. H. W.

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 to the Senaie, this body shall fail to sit in judgement upon, it will solemnly stultify itself before the word.” Yet, , notwithstanding this si iong language, 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. , Yours, affectionately, ( L. D. Waddell, < Captain, Company E.

From the Comptroller General’s Report. The Regiments of Volunteers in the So vice of the Confederate Government. 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 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 nuwbering of the various regi ments, reported or received at that Depart ment, up to the Ist ot 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 Georgia, and as in all reports of the Con federate officers, they will only bedesignated and kdswn by the numbers given them b the Confederate Government,! have conclud cd to submit the informal ion received upon his point, which is as follows: List of Regiments from the Stale of Georgia in the service of the Confederate States, and (heir stations, Oct. 1, 1861.
