* MARIETTA, GA.
April 10-1863.
Lgst and Found. —Mr. J. H. Dodd
of Forsyth county Ga„ left his Pock
et Book* on our table about the Ist of
March. He can have it by application
at this office.
SUBSCRIPTION TRICES.
The Augusta Dailies have advanced
their prices of subscription to the rate
of 830 per year. The Weekly papers
’to 84. Prices of advertising have also
itten advanced, in the dailies about one
» hundred and weeklies about fifty per
cent. Next week wo will publish sched
ule of rates of the weekly papers.
The Press.
We regret to see that the Proprie
tor contemplates the suspension of the
Augusta Constitutionalist. Th’S is
owing mainly to the scarcity i f paper
The supply is inadequate and the price
advances with that of cotton.
We may be compelled to issue fre
quently the Advocate on a half sheet
but expect to continue its regular pub
lication.
Famoie
There seems to be a growing fear
of the approach of famine in the
South. The north predicts, it and
the Southern people scorn impressed
with the probability that this year
they will fail to prodnee a sufficiency
of the necessaries of life. Is there no
one familiar enough with statistics to
demonstrate, from the quantity of land
in cultivation, and the amount of pro
visions indispensable to the South, the
certainty that with an ordinary season
enough will be made. Give as light
—we dislike ‘ungrounded' fears,
s< .
For Governor.
The following gentlemen have been
named up to this time for Governor,
Gen. Ranse Wright, Col. Billups, Col.
James Gardner, General A. 11. •Col
quitt, Gen. H, R. Jackson, Hon. J. E.
Want Hon. T. 11. Furlow, Hon. Dr
A. Vttson, Hon. M. A. Cooper, Capt.
G. N. Lester, Hon. L. J. Gartrell,
Hon. J. E. Brown, Hon. B. H. Big
ham, Gon. Toombs, Washington Pee,
and Gen. F. W. Capers.
The Currency.
Constantly, the Confederate Cur
rency depreciates in value. As no re
straint to its is»ue seems possible so
<heir is no check to its growing redun
dancy and depreciation. It seems to
be repeating unerringly the histcry
of‘Continental Currency.’ At first
thought we supposed that a heavy as
sessment of Taxes would deplete the
currency and check the growing evil,
but upon reflection it is manifest that
if the Tax should reach as some sup
pose, it will be unequal
to the current expenditures. Wheth
er there is a remedy now, is beyond
our capacity to conceive. Our Con
gress has waited to long; with ordinary
foreshght the Jevil might have be.n
avoided.
Under the present tendency es mo
netary affairs prices of every species
of commodity must continue to ad
vance. The currency in the hands of
the people will seek investment and >
■commodities and the currency will be '
alike held at then ‘specie’ value and 1
es they currency increases in quality
it must diminish in relative value.—
The evil is one of ‘redundancy.’ If
capitalists could be induced to invest
in Confederate bonds the only remedy
would be found and the currency
would rapidly appreciate.
State endorsement will do no good
-it is not the remedy. The currency
will remain as redundant and cheap as
ever. The only effect of such en
dorsement will be to lower the credit
of the State to the depreciated value
of the currency. The credit of the
currency can only be improved by
lessening its redundancy. State en
„ dorsement, instead of aiming at this
* result simply proposes, to the extent
of the wealth, of the State, to make
good the redundancy. With such en
dorsement Georgiawill pledge perhaps
one fifth of all her people now hold an
wealth, and if the war continues, all of
which they now stand possessed; but
if she could pledge a thousand time
more in wealthshe would not arrest the
evils attending a ‘redundant’ curren
cy. It would still as it increased, go
down. The object would be better at
tained, though still inadequately, if
the State should purchase the extent
of its endorsementin Confederate bonds
and thus enable the Central Govern
ment to lessen its its issues to that ex
tent.
TH’E MARIETTA WEEKLY ’ADVOCATE.
laF-The Atlanta ‘lntelligencer’ con
cluding au article on the General As*
sembly at Milledgeville, says.—
“More in sorrow than in anger,” thus
we have noticed nothing in the leg
islation at Milledgeville, that will com
mend the pr sent General Assembly to
the favorable consideration «*f our State
or a majority of its members to a re-ehc
lion by their respective constituency.
‘A little kaven,’ it is written, ‘leavens
etli the whole lump,’ and we tius\ be
fore the close i-f the session, the patris
otism, and ability, and wisdom, which
animate a nfnority of the preseat
Legislature, will achiev*' over the major
ity what the‘little leaven’ doeth over
the‘whole liinjpt’otherwise, the pcoj le
of Georgia will rue the day when they
en'iusted the it tc-esta of the State in
the hands es so factious a class of |rep»
j resentatives. We past by the waste oj
j I me and money, in such a time as th : s
in the hitrcduction and consideration of
: bills of no public utility, and in idle c .11 <
f r information upon the Executive,
of ‘no practical utility, and come now
to consider what the probable action of
the Legislature will be upon the bill to
ndo sc its pro rata share of the Confed*,
erate Bonds proposed to be issued by
Meniiningcr, and to promote which poli
ey a missionary was sent _to address
that body. Judging from what wo saw
and heard, in all probability, the House
j of Representatives, will pass the bill.—
In the Senate it will fail. Perhaps we
i may be mistaken, and are, if the policy
"of thawing upon Jo. Brown the retpote
sibilily of vetoing'the bill," should prove
to be potent in both branches. In such
an event we would warn ell interested,
that whde Govtnior Brown will certain
, ly do his duty and shirk no responsibili
| ty, the people will not be deceived by a
j resort to any such artifice. Governor
j Brown understands his Constitutional
privileges, and is not apt to veto con
stitutional legislation, save in extraoidi'
nary cases. Whteher he will view the
bill, if passed, as <i;e requiring the veto
power, is known on'y to himself; and
such a trap set by schainiug legislators
may catch those only who may be de
luded into ereciing it. It would be i
well, therefore for all anti Brown men
i who are really opposed to committing
the State to the indorsement policy, to
vote accordingly, and not to rely’ upon
Executive veto to save the St .te—
othei wise, they may te the fir t who
will be caught in the ricketty trap.
We regret that we Lave no more
hopeful picture to present to ou readers
than the above of the General Assembly,
now ia-session at Milledgeville. That
‘.ts last days may belts best days,’ we
devoutly wish; and that its last days
wll soon come, the people of our glor
ious sbou'd fervently
pray!

The Attack on Charleston.—lt is es
timated that by the middle of April the
tederals will be ready to put their for
ces in motion, and thon all eyes will be
turned to Charleston to witness one of
the grandest struggles, aad, we think,

ries which haa occurred during the war.
Lharles'on, the Yankees denominate our
Scbastapol, but they will find Soit era
muscle a very different article Lon
that which the Allies encountered in the
Crimea. The chivalric Beauregard, the
best man among all great men for that
position, hag done all that ingenuity can
accomplish to make the place impregna
ble, and his brave army will do all that
men can do to defend it. We shall be
disappointed when the fight comes off if
Commodore Ingraham docs not make
a considerable addition to his fleet for
harbor defense, for we have no idea that
Hunter will ever get to sea again with

It id becoming a matter of grave con
sideraf ion, says the Augusta Chroniclo
how our rail roads shall be kept up.
The building of locomotives does not ap
pear to be as difficult as the m king of
roils—nor docs the procurcmen'. of oth
er rolling stock. To an inexperienced
mind either the building of a locomotive
cr the founding of a cannon eppears a
much mere difficult task. Act we be
lieve that ti.e first iron rail has yet to be
made in the Sou-h Cannot some of our
ingenious raechaies,- assisted by our mil
lionarie capitalists, relieve us from the
dangerous dilemma, without compelling
resort to the temporary make shift of ia
king up the i on some roads to repair
others ?
An Incident on th: RxrPAnANNOCX. —
The following extract from a letter from
Fredericksburg by an officer in General
Lee's army, relabs a] pkasint incident
<in camp life, which U‘> doubt
mat* rially to relievo its ,mo.:?itony :
I must tell you an agreeable episode
in our camp life, which occu-rcd a few j
days since. It is acknowledged that th-* I
Fedeiuls, with all their faults, have i
some capital bands in their ranks, itc- ;
cently one of these organizations came |
down the river side < pposite Frcdcr- [
ieksburg, and favored our b**y« (who i
had gathered in large numbers to listen) .
with a variety of popular pieces in the '
best style. Applause from the and dice
on each side fol ow d. The band then
struck up “Dixie,’’ and executed it in a
creditable manner. At its conclusion,
our J-oldiars s< nt up such a sin ut j
as made the welkin ring This was
followed by “Yankee Doodle,” when a .
burot of applause from the Federal* fol- I
lowed. Finally, the baud played “Home ;
Sweet Heme,” a melody which all could I
. i
feel and appreciate; and when it w-s ;
finished such a shout went up from both
armies as 1 doubt has never been heard
on eaith. I looked around me and saw
tears down many a furrowed ai.d battle
worn cheek, and if the frantic cherrs
that went up from the side of the river
were many criterion or neighboring en
emies were as much affected.

That live paper, the Sumpter (S. C.)
Watchman, quaintly says:
Bring linen rags—bring cotton rags,
Or even thread bare woru out bags,
Bit don’t attempt to make us pull
Our printing paper out of 'wool !
A Yankee paper says ‘the rebellion ;
is on its last legs.’ It will be sorry
times for the Yankee soldiers when they
get on their ‘last 1 gs.’ If it hadn’t
b?en far those same legs the would have
been cut to pieces, long ago.
