Counterfeit Notes.
W’c have Been shown several Notes I
< n the Augusta Savings Bank, ol the '
denomination of Fifty Cents, anthori- j
tatively pronounced Counterfeit. The !
Spuriotiß very closely imitate the Gen-'!
nine and it is difficult 'o distinguish '
them.
Strong auspicious have been excited*--
that the Counterfeiting was done in
thia place, but sufficient evidence has
not been elicited to produce conviction
or lead to urrests us yet.
It was recently stated that “Shin
Plasters” had been counterfeited in
Rome, Ga. The style and execution of
the genuine bills are so ordinary that
any* rascal, so disposed, may counterfeit
them, ayd render the counterfeit diffi
cult of detection.
The Sick Soldiers.
It is said tjtere are about thirty-five
hundred sick Soldiers now in Atlanta—
Texans, Tennesseans, Arkansuuis, Lou
isianians, Virginians, Kentuckians,
Missourians and Alab mians. Every
possible aid should be extended to At
lanta in her efforts to provide for their
comfort.

‘MR. YANCEY.
Delivered a'spcech in New Orleans
on the 13th inst. in which he said, what
is now so well known, that we have
nothing to hope from Europe. He said
further, that. Europe only desired that
the North and South •Should mutually
exhaust themselves in the struggle and
with this view the independence of the
South would be recognized, if necessary
to preserve it from subjugation. He said
we must all stand together and rely
upon ourselves. “If there is any in
subordination, any mutiny, all will sink
togoher.”

Lincoln resorts to Cunning.
Whatever opinions may be he ld in
the South as to the cause of the War,
Lincoln in his recent Message leaves no
doubt as to what he regards as its
cause, and that is juSt what a majority
of the Southern people believed it to
t.p, .it llw nnbu-t-tlm.l-uign of tllP.Rp.
puoncan party to abolish slavery.
Lincoln recommends to the Federal
Congress, the passage of a resolution,
pledging the government to extend pe
cuniary' aid to such States as are wil
ling to abolish the ins itution, and in
one breath, tells the North that if they
can stop the War by such a policy, they
will save money, and the South, that it
will be better for them to take it; under
the present insecurity of slave pro
perty, especially as he does not. intend
to stop any. indispensable
means to-preserve the Union.
lids is designed to operate no doubt
upon the border Slave States, with
what effect time will soon show.
OUR CONDITION.
The South has now learned two very
important facts. That we n list rely
upon ourselves alone in this struggle—
and, that it is', impossible to defend, at
all points, our extended frontier. The
result of the latter conviction is that
the Government is rapidly drawing in
our lines and concentrating our forces
in such positions as to meet an inva
ding army with something dike equal
forces.
The enemy may also soon find th.vt
they have a frontier too extensive for
defense, and the disadvantage under
which we have labored may be thrown
upon them. 1 hey will soon find their
territory open to invasion—their forces
scattered and their strength weakened
by their advances. The policy now, of
the war, on Hk p .rt of the South, is
auspicious. The giv..i source of unea
siness and alarm is the -supply of pro
visions. Il we fall 111 tliis all is lost.
Attorney General Tucker of
Virginia, gives the opinion, which is no
doubt law, that Postmasters are exempt
from military duly. Bit” we hear it is
the intention of the Postmaster Gener
al, wherever lie can do so, to appoint
women and men too ii firm or too old
fur service in the field. Whenever it is
ascettained that a party, young and
able-bodied, has dodged into a Post
office to escape military duty, la* will
certainly travel.

THE MARIETTA WEEKLY ADVOCATE.
From 8 ashvillc.
The Atlanta Commonwealth publish- :
vs a letter from Nashville, which says, I
the Yankees are as numerous there as 1
flies, and arc constantly p .using to their j
encampment at Murfn esboro’. It sja uks !
ot a number of desei ters arriving from ■
the Confederate side. Says that Andy j
Johnson “our future Governor,” had)
arrived and that he is going to call out {
the militia.
A Srt»AW.—Gen Buell has issued a
notice that hereafter “military passes
for persons going North, on the Cumber
land river, or any point north thereof,
or to any of the loyal States, are not

l"ne Norfolk coi respondent ol the
Petersbug Aaynvs.f, learns that “there
was a pleasure party on board the steam
ship Cumberland the night before she
was sunk. This, doubtless, accounts
for the screams of the ladies on board,
which were heard by our men on the
Virginia.”
Mr. Massay, member of the
British Parliament, in a late speech at
Tolford, declared “I! the eleven Con
federate States were determined to be
•free, no power on earth could reduce
them again to subjugation, no high
spirited people, no people of the Anglo-
Saxon race, had over been held down in
slavery, however small might be the
area of their country, or however great
the mi'itary force that overshadowed it.
A meeting of the planters of Cun oil
parish, Louisiana, was held ihe other
day at Floyd. Among the resolutions
passed was one resolving to destroy the
whole cotton crop of that parish, rather
than it should fall into the hands of the
enemy. Coining from one of the hugest
cotton communities in the South, this
fact is significant.
The Georgia Fact' ry and Athens-
Factoiy have reduced the prices of

For the Advocate.
BURN THE COTTON!
Yes, burn the Cutton*! Burn all ex
cept what we need for home consump
tion and one fifth of what we have will
suffice for that. Burn the. Cotton! That
is our true policy now. The most emi
nent and reliable men of our country
tell us so. Yes, burn it ; and burn it
immediately I -• Let it be hauled out in
to the fields and the ton h applied !
Just reflect upon the matter. We
have three millions of bales to be dis
posed of—three millions of bales we
ourselves do not need. The North ex
pects to get it ; she declares she will
get it ; she is now fighting to get it.—
She informs Europe that she will have
it ore long, and Europe expects to get
it through the North ! There is no
doubt of this! I repeat, that our true
policy is to burn it, and burn it noir.—
We will settle the matter—we will
prove our determination once and for
ever.
It will fall like a thunderbolt upon
the North ! It will appal Europe ! It
will prove that we are indeed in earnest
It will be ihe means of shortening the
war. I’ will precipitate matters
Wo have supposed that our great
cotton crop would- prove a bait to Eu
rope 1 We were mistaken! Mr. Yan
coy lias just returned and he t- Ils ns
we must not look to the old world for
intervention or sympathy! He tells us
we must fight it out for ourselves or be
enslaved. Amen I
Burn the Cotton. It will secure for
ns the respect of the world. It will be
a terrible blow to the enemy. It will
prove to the North the hopelessness of
attempting to subjugate us. The gov
ernment at Richmond, should take hold
of the mutter, h should assume the
responsibility of having it done. 'lhe
government in such a time as this, when
every thing is at stake, h m the'right' to
seize or destroy any kind of property
when necessary for the country’s salva
tion
PLANT GRAIN!
Every available acre must be planted
in grain. Tennessee and Kentucky are
probably lost as far as their usual sup
ply of grain and provisions aie con
cerned, and if the Cotton States do not
raise six times as much grain as they
did last year we are starved out—wo
arc ruined !
——WlfFta ntw-.-iyS’ n Tt-HTiTin g- ’ ryetciTT'-""
Enormous quantities of provisions must
unavoidcdly be wasted and lost in or
der for our great army to be fed.
Let the man who’ plants Cotton this
year, more than enough for seed, be
marked. He is a traitor ! He is a vile
Shylock!
Many thousands of the tillers of the
soil of tie u,p country are in the army.
They can no longer till the s< il. Their
fields are lying fallow. Let their pla
ces be supplied by the negroes of the
low country, who have heretofore been
making Cotton. * * *

THE X-ATE t'JUON VICTORIES AND THEIR RESULTS
Under this head the New York Herald
has an enthusiastic article, and seems
almost run mad with joy. To show the
ecstacy of the Yankee mind we . make
an extract or mo t
The occupation of Leesburg, on the
Upper Potomac, by a detachment from
the column of Gen. Banks, under the
command of the intrepid Colonel Geary
gives us the practical advantages of a
great victory. Leesburg was the object
of that lamentable blunder of Ball’s
Bluff, the disasters of which, in a mill
tary view, are now atoned for in the
stampede of the rebels from the town
and its defensive works, without even
the show of resistance.
It is manifest, we think, from their
hasty evacuation ’of Leesburg,, that
their late instructive defeats and re
treats in North Carolina, Tenmss-e,
Missouri and Aikansi.s have convinced
the rebels in Virginia that their situa
tion is exceedingly desperate, and that
there is no such thing as Southern in
vincibility against superior military
combinations, appliances, tacilities and
forces, by land and sea. But, witli+mX
assuming- to anticipato the brilliant iiJ
pending ,jt:s till.rat ion of Geß. McCleß
lan’s ‘'masterly inactivity,” we may find
in the present confusion and demorali
zation of the rebellion in every quarter
abundant evidences that the filial issue
is completely within his control.
Jeff. Davis and his Confederate rulers
were not deceived by the ephemeral and
delusive victory of Manassas ; they
were content to hold their ground cm
the delensive thn ugh the summer and
autumn, in expectation that-“ King Cut.
ton” would in the winter bring England
to their rescue. The settlement of the
Trent affair dispelled that illusion, ami
the despondency -and imbecility of the
rebel government from that day are as
remarkable as its previous confidence
and energetic action. In January,
away down iu the wilds of Southern
Kentucky, the important and decisive
little Union victory n ;ar Somerset cainr
off. It created a sensation of alarm
throughout the South, compared with
which our splendid naval successes at
Cape Hatteras and Fort Royal produced
only a ripple upon the surface of the
water. The reason was, that, while
Cape Hatteras and Port Royal touched
no vital point, our Somerset victory
made a serious breach through the in
land defensive line of the rebellion.
The inverse suggested the immediate
necessity of strengthening the works
and reinforcing the rebel army at B -w
--ling Green, while our menacing gun
boat preparations at Cairo and St. Lou
is resulted in a rebel encampment and
fortifications at Columbus of the grand
est proportions to resist our passage
down the channel of the Mississippi.—
But while the rebels were thus expend
ing ilieir strength upon these widely
separated camps of Bowling Green and
Columbus, their two immediate defen
sive p< sitions at Fort Henry, on the
Tennessee river, and Fort Donelson on
the Cumberland, were comparatively
neglected. Thus the loss of Fort Hen
ry reduced them to the alternative of
abandoning Bowling Green to save Ft.
Donelson and the navigable water line
'to N iflhville; and in losing Fort Doncl
son they lost Nashville, and Columbus
ceased to be useful or tenabk’j whence
its hasty evacuation.
In all these movements tie splendid
campaigning and fighting qualities of
our troops were amply proved;’l ut the
capture of two such strongly defended
places as B iwlii.g Green and Columbus,
without the necessity of firing a shot,
is due to the superior military combina
tions of our commanding generals. A
month ago, against the defensive works
on the. bluffs of Columbus, with their
two hundred pieces of heavy artillery
and their exterior lines of rifle pits,
with the river in front and a protecting
swamp in the rear, an army of a hun
dred thousand men and all our Missis
sippi gunboats, and a bloody siege
would have been required to take the
place. A few days ago a reconnoiter
ing gunboat found it evacuated, and
thus all the vast labors and expendi
tures of the rebels to make this place
the Sabast 'pol of the Mississippi were
thrown away. Columbus was their
main reliance for the defense of New
Orleans; and having abandoned Colum
bus, where now are they to make a
final stand on the line of the ' ississip
pi this side the Gulf of Mexico ‘I
The expulsion of Price from Missouri
and his disastrous flight, with Ben.
McCul och, over the Boston Mountains
of Arkansas, vindicates as forcibly as
our glorious campaign in Kentucky and
Tennessee the wisdom of ample prepa
rations and skillful arrangements be
fore pouncing upon the enemy, and so
with the Burnside expedition in North
Carolina. The very presence of its
overwhelming power reduced the rebels
on Roanoke island to a surrender, be
tlicir men wtiiiu oiitviglit mnoimtcd
to a dozen in number, defended, as they
wem, by their elaborate earthworks.—
Is ic any wonder that the dispiriting ef
fect of these defeats and disastrous re
treats has resulted in the occupation of
the valley of the Shenandoah and of
Leesburg by our troops without oppo
sition ? And who docs not now com
prehend the fact that, in its eflects, the
most disastrous battle to the South of
al! the battles of this rebellion, ten
times multiplied, was the battle ot Bull
Run? It has cost the South many
thousands of men, and hundreds of
million of dollars, which otherwise
would have been saved.
Fort Sumter and Bull Run, however,
still continue among our outstanding
accounts against .this rebellion ; nor
will it be long, we predict, before these
balances are satisfactorily settled. We
await with cheerfulness and absolute
confidence the final development of Gen.
McClellan’s magnificent combinations.
[From the Ciaeinnatti Enquirer.]
Northern View of Lincolns Message.
The recent special message of the
President transmitted to Congress,
adopts unmi.-takably the platform of
►prospective emaancipation and slavery
circumscription, is eliciting much and
varied comment. When superficially
cons'dercd it conveys lather a mystical
and unimportant signification; but a
close and careful analysis of its promi
nent features precluded any basis for
ambiguous ot* equivocal interpetation.
The radical Abolitionist adopt it with
pleasing gusto, notwithstanding it
subject them to the ridiculous inconsis
tency of iccoznizing slaves as property
for which compensation should bo made
from the public treasury. The docu
ment contains an unfortunate serni-ac
knowledgement that the Federal gov
j eminent may, in the future find it ohli-
H'-itorv *■> i-<‘eog-iiiz<! :i Southern Confed
leracy, so far as to the more remote or
■cotton States. He urges Congress to
anticipate by speedy legislation the
the latent purpose of any of the border
or central States to inaugurate an
emancipation policy, by which the more
Southern States would be precluded
from any hope of their co-operation or
affiliation. This indirect admission is
in direct conflict with positoin always
assumed by Secretary Seward in his
foreign correspondence, when he takes
the ground that no two Confederacies
can exist on this continent.
We cannot shut our eyes against tiie
conviction that the President, if neces
sary, in the father prosecution of the
war against rebellion, is prepared to
adopt any means which he may deem
“indispensable.” He may deem it in
dispensable to go the Abolition doc
tfi.ric. t<> its full cxtmit.
MEBKAGE FROM LINCOLN.
Washington, March 7.—The Presi
dent to-day remitted to Congress the
following Message;
Fellow Citizens us the Sena e aud House
of Representatives:— l recommend the
adoption of a joint resolution by your
honorable bodies which shall be sub
stantially as follows:
“Resolved, Thai the United States
ought to co-operate with any State
which may adopt gradual abolishment
of slavery, giving to such State pectin
ary aid to be used by such State in its
discretion to compensate for the incon
viences public and priva'c, produced
by such change of system.”
If the proposition contained in the
resolution does not meet the approval
of Congress and Ihe country, there is
the end; but if it does command such
approval,’! deem it of importance that
the States and people immed ately in
terested should be at once distinc ly
notified of the fact, so that they may
•begin to consider whether 10 accept or
reject, it. The Federal Government
would find its highest interest in such
a mc-asuie, as one of the most efficient
means of self-preservation. The lead
ers ot the existing insurrection enter
tain the hope ihat this Government will
be forced to acknowledge the indepen
dence of some part of the’ disaffected
region, and that all the slave Slates
Ncrth of such parts will then say—the
Union for which we have struggled be
ing already gone, v/e now choose to go
with the Southern section.
To deprive them of.this hope sub
stantially ends the rebellion, and the
initiation of emancipation completely
deprives them of it as to all the States
initiating it. The point is not that ab
the States tolerating slavery would
very soon, if at all, initiate emancipa
tion; but that while the offer is equally
made ta al), the more Northern shall by
such initiation,make it certain to the
more Southern that, in no event, will
the former ever join the! latter in their
proposed Confederacy. I say initia 1
tion, because, in'mV judgment, gradual
and not sudden emancipation is better
for all. In the mere financial or pecun
iary view, any member of Congress,
with the census tables and treasury re
ports before him, can readily see for
himself how ver.y k soon the current ex
penditures of this war would purchase,
at fair valuation, all the slaves in any
nainod State.
Such a proposition on the part of the
general Government sets up no claim of
a right, by Federal authority, to inter
fere with slavery within State limits,
referring, as it does, the absolute con
trol of the subject ie each case to the
State and its people immediately inter
ested. It is proposed as a matter of
perfectly free choice with them. In the
annual message, last December, I
thought fit to say: The Ui.ion must
be preserved, aud hence ail indispen
sable means must be cmplored. I said
this not hastily, but deliberately. War
has been made, and continues to be an
indispensable means to this end. A
nratical reacknowledgment of the na
tional authority would render the was
unneccessary, and it wou'd at once
cease.
If, however resistance continues, the
war must also continue, and it is im
possible to foresee all the incidents
which may attend and all the ruin which
may fellow it. Such as may seem in
dispensable, or may obviously promise
great efficiency, towards ending the
struggle, must and will come. The pro
position now made is an offer only. I
hope it may be esteemed no offence to
ask whether the pecuniary considera
tion tendered would not be of more
value to the Statesand private oersons
concerned than are the institution and
property in it, in the present aspect of
affairs. While it is true that be adop
tion of the proposed resolution is mere
ly initiatory, aud not within itself a
practicial measure it is recommended
in the h"pe that it would soon lead to
important practical results In full
view of great responsibili y to my God
and to my country, I earnestly beg the
attention ol Congress and the people to
the subject.

Sugar.—ls the war lasts six months
longer Virginia and North Carolinia
especially, will be without a pound of
sugar. At present scarcely any sugar
can be brought by railroad from Louis' l
iana into these States; what there is
has been put up by the extortioners at
such prices, that the poor will not be
able to use it much longer. In six
months, even if the Federate are driven
back from Tennessee, 'he railroads will
have ceased running, or will be so near
run down, they cannot curry heavy
heights igpon them. What is to be
done? the people in those coun
ties where the sugar maple grows, pre
pare to make sugar from it, and let
the farmers plant the Chinese sugar
cane. Perhaps it would pay, now
while it can be done, to import the su ■
gar cane from Louisiana for planting
Florida, South Alabama, and Georgia
could make sugar, and we doubt not it
could be done in portions of this State.

—that is, to give the name of the Colonel,
Lieutenant Colonel, Major, and the Captains
and Lieutenants of Companies in each Regi

came, and, also the number of each Regiment
as given it by the Confederate States Govern
