PRESIDENT LINCOLN’S MESSAGE.
We give our readers an opportunity to See the
itrangest document ever written iu the form of a
State paper, evincing a condition of mind on the
)ari of the Black Republican President which in
licates the necessity of placing him where uufor-
:unate persons are often carried by their friends
until their wits are restored, However absurd the
views of Mr. Lincoln, we think they are snch as
his constituents approve, for the very reason that
Northern men, especially the fanatical portion of
them, have never been able to grasp the idea of
original sovereignty in the StAtes which created the
Government called the Federal Union. Mr. Lin
coln holds the reverse, and declares with official
gravity that the Union created the States. Here
are his own words :
The Lniou gave each of them whatever inde
pendence and liberty it had. The Union is older
than any of the States, and in fact it created them
as States. ^ Originally, some dependent colonies
made the Union, and in turn the. Union threw off
their old dependence for them and made the States.
Such as they are not one of them ever had a State
constitution independent of tin; Union.
A erily has the superficial writer of the message
forgotten that a certain Declaration which has a

Gen. Duff Green, a venerable patriarch of three

the best way to increase the stability of onr own

Wilk K. Call, of Florida, introduced a set of res

which elicited some discussion.
Gen. Duff Green opposed the resolutions in a

in a speech of great power and beauty. Mr. Call
is an eloquent aud forcible speaker. They were

whelming union majority iu that State, that were
a vote taken now upon the question whether she
should go wrath the N orth or 8. that 99 out of every
100 would vote togo with the South. The stand ta
ken by tbe intense Union men of that State, was
that of neutrality. There is a large number of
aged men, who fought under the Stars aud Stripes
in the Northwest, and in the Mexican war, from
Vera Cruz to the Halls of the Montezumas, whose
reverence for the Union amounts almost to idola
try, and who have a lingering hope that by some
miraculous power the Union will still be preser\-
ed ; but every young man in the State is heart ami
soul with the South. Kentucky was virtually in
the situation of Missouri and Maryland. She had
seven hundred miles of border on Abolition States,
accessible by means of numerous railroads, but
only one railroad from the South. A horde of
100,009 Abolitionists could be poured into Kentucky
in ten days’ time, while reinforcements from tbe
South could only come by one source, and there
fore limited. It therefore behooved Kentucky to
be prudent, as her position was eminently a penl-
ours one. But the great heart of Kentucky throbb
ed iu sympathy with tbe South. As for himself,
he had been a devoted Union man—was ap intense
Union man until Lincoln’s proclamation of the 15th
April. Then he felt that it was time to draw the
sword and throw away the scabbard. All that he
had, or was—his heart aud soul, property and all
was dedicated to the cause of Southern indepen
dence, and old as he was, he stood rbady to shoul
der his musket in the ranks of his fel low-country-
meu to vindicate Southern rights and honor upon
the battle field. Every heart beat in unison with
the conviction that our brave soldiers in Virginia
would conquer the proud cohorts of Lincoln. But

For the Recorder.
The Confederate Loan—CoUtm—Old Elbert—
A Bright Example.
Messrs. Editors: I have noticed with no lit
tle pleasure the efforts of the Hon. A. H. Stephens
in behalf of tbe Confederate Loan, in his old 6th
district. Every where he goes, the people come
out to hear him, aud having heard him they heed
his counsel and advice, and subscribe liberally of
their means and produce to the Confederate Loan.
Mr. Stephens considers the raising of money or its
equivalent immediately by our Government of the
greatest importance, not second to that of raising
\ olunteers, and he is now in the field devoting all
his energy and his ponderous intellect to the work
of urging the peoplq to sustain our Garcrnmcnt ef
fectually, by providing for it means to sustain our
soldiers in the field and to continue our defences,
aud I am rejoiced to see bis old constituents rally
ing to the good cause with a mind aud a will truly
patriotic, and worthy of imitation by all.
And why should not the people of Georgia and
of the South rally, with a hearty good will, aud
with all they can raise, to the support aud maiu-
tainance of onr Government at this time ? Are we
not now fighting for life and future safety ? Have
w e not already seen enough to satisfy us that if
our Confederate Government fail to maintain its
independence, we will not only be under the yoke
of the most cruel tyranny, aud our wives and cliil-
dreu liable to be outraged as our friends and their
familiesTiave already been outraged in Maryland
and Missouri and other places where tlie Lincoln-
ites have control, but our property will be taken
from us or rendered valueless by tbe victors ! Then
ivhat will our laud or slaves or any other property
be worth to us, if our Government be not sustain
ed. I know that very few among us, (if there be
any) who believe that it is possible for Lincoln
and his Northern horde to conquer and enslave us -
1 do not believe such a thing possible, because I
have confidence in tbe patriotism and liberality and
bravery of the Southern people. But, still, such a
thing is possible if the Government is not properly
sustained with the “sinews of w ar.” Then, tclio is
it that trill be found wanting at this time ? We shall
see.
But do Cotton Planters and others make amt sac
rifice or lose anything immediately or remotely by
subscribing to the Confederate loan.' I think not.
While our lives and liberty and property are now
at stake, and a proper and liberal support of our
Government In the way of giving it means and
credit, will place our success beyoud a doubt, can
our people lose any thing, even for the moment, by
subscribing or loauing to the Government their
crop—or three-fourths, or one-half, or one-fourth
of their crops, be it cither large or small. 1 think
not. Nay. more. I think they will be greatly
benefittiug themselves. As long as the. war lasts
none but the usurer can make his capital pay
niuch; but few liave made or will make as much
as five or six per cent, upon their capital, and the
longer the war lasts, the worse matters will get.
While on the other hand, those who loan to the
Government will be sure to get, semi-annually, 8
per cent, upon their Investment. This they will
get, by taxation, if in no other way, whether the
war lasts one or ten years. And as soon as the
war closes, and the Independence of the Confed
erate Government is acknowledged, such is the
wealth and resources of our Government, Europe
an aud other capitalists will be glad to invest in
stocks paying so largO an interest, aud our Con
federate Bonds will scon go aborc par. Then, as
an investment to realize profit and to increase one’s
wealth, no surer means of accomplishing this ob
ject can be adopted than by giving all of our sur
plus means for Government Bonds.
But there is a higher motive than the mere accu
mulation of dollars and cents, that every good cit
izen should act upon. Our love of our family al
tars, of onr wives and children, and the right to
govern ourselves and be freemen, ought to stimu
late us to stand by our Government with all that
we have,—and until our independence is acknowl
edged and peace restored, every free man iu our
Confederacy should consider all of his property as
belonging to the Government, and lie ought to be
ready freely to give np all or any portion of it,
whenever needed by the Government. When,
then, the Government only asks a loan of one-half
or one-fourth of our crops, and give us in return,
its bonds with large interest, surely there must be
few in this broad land, who have the means, that
will refuse the call. Old Elbert, for instance, but
a few days ago gave evidence that her people did
noUintend to withhold a liberal support to our glo
rious cause. She has not only about one-third of
her militia now enrolled as volunteers aud waiting
to go to the war at the first call, but at a late meet
ing of her citizens, addressed by Mr. Stephens in
relation to sustaining the Government by loaning
it a portion of their cotton and other produce aud
taking Confederate Bonds, bearing eight per cent.,
the followiug gentlemen came forward and showed
their “faith by their works,” viz:

WHAT GEORGIA HAS DONE AND IS DOING
Beside the regiment of regulars, at Savannah,
under conntiaud of Col. Charles. J. Williams,
Georgia has sent to the field ten regiments of Vol
unteers imder Cols. Ramsey, Semmes, Wright,
Doles, Jackson, Colquitt, Gartrell, Brumby, Collid
ing, Anderson, three regiments Independent Vol
unteers (field officers appointed by tbe President)
under Cols. Bartow, McLaws and Johnson of Ken
tucky, two battalions commanded by Majors Villi-
pigue and Hardeman, beside two independent
companies. There are also iu Virginia, Georgia
companies enough to organize another regiment.—
So that we have now raised and sent off some 14,
000 soldiers besides the regulars. The Brigade of
Gen. Phillips, encampment at Big Shanty, num
bers near 2500. The Toombs regiment—4th inde
pendent—is now organized under Col. Ector who
fought in the Mexican war, and the 11th and 12th
regiments will organize in Atlanta next week, un
der command, doubtless, of Hon. W. H. Stile*
and Hon Thomas W. Thomas. To these mast
soon be added Tom Cobb’s legion, Gov. Cobb's
independent regiment. Col. Hammond’s, Col. Mc-
Miliain’s and Col. Underwood's which will increase
Georgia’s fighting force, including the Regulars,
aud Phillips’ Brigade, to near twenty-five thousand
effective troops. And this is only one-half, or one-
third, of what Georgia can and will do, if neces
sary.—Chron. Sent.
UNFORTUNATE RENCONTRE.
We learn that a letter has been received in this
city, which states that a difference having arisen
between Theoderiek Montfort, Esq., and Dr. Bart

Lists, with forms properly made out, were to he
placed into the hands of the committee men of
each district; and they were requested to make
their returns on the lOth of July, to tbe Chairman
of the meeting at Elbertou.
And litis is the tray all should do. Let the people
in all the counties of Georgia and the Confederate
States immediately take this matter in hand. Let
them hold meetings at their various towns and
Court-houses and open books of subscription and
receive subscriptions or pledges like those of old
Elbert. Let them appoint their committees to go
through the counties and receive further subscrip
tions, and to make their reports at an early day.
This being done, we shall bear no more from the
North of the inability of the South or of the Con
federate Government to carry on the war and
maintain our independence. But, with such evi
dence of devotion on the part of our people to sus
tain our Government, our would-be-masters will
not only quail, but other Governments will be glad
to let our Government have all the money and ar
ticles of warfare that we may Hereafter want, and
WE SHALL SOON HAVE PEACE ! HENRY.
Jeffrsonville, July 8th, 1861.
Messrs. Editors:—We are all alive to tlie war
spirit here. Old Twiggs lias done well. One-
third of her men are in the field. Her men, her mon
ey, and her cotton, are at the service of the Confed
eracy. Her sister county, Wilkinson, is not be
hind iu war-like spirit and preparation. She has
one company in Virginia, under Capt. Beall, one
other ou the march, and two more ready for ser
vice at tlieir country’s call.
Oil Thursday 4th of J ul y, I visited Bethel Clinrch,
where the Carswell Guards of Wilkinson county
were iu Camp under Captain N. A. Carswell.—
Early in the day, notwithstanding the rainy ap
pearance of the morning, the people, male and
female, gathered iu crowds. At 11 o’clock ihe cer
emonies of the day were opened by prayer by the
Rev. J. T. Hughes. Capt. Carswell and Dr. Coch
ran addressed the people upon the issues of the
day, and handsomely acquitted themselves in
speeches of thrilling force aud effect. After speak
ing, the Carswell Guards paraded, and the fair
daughters of Wilkinson iu regular line, marched
in front of the Company, bearing a handsome mini
ature flag, when Miss Mattie Hughes, on the part
of the ladies, addressed the company in ashort and
beautiful speech. Capt. Carswell replied in style
and manner, chaste and appropriate.
Tbe people were then invited to dinnner. The
table was plentifully and luxuriously furnished
with every thing calculated to satisfy the most ep
icurean taste. All ate and enjoyed themselves and
seamed by their manner and looks as though they
intended to dwell uuder their own vine and fig tree,
and that old Abe and his Hessians could not make
them afraid. 1 hey for a moment forgot their
trouble, and gave way to the flow of soul and
feast of reason. After diuuer the people again
assembled aud called on Dr. Ira E. Dupree
for an address. The Doctor responded in a fine
speech of much foree aud effect. On a call, the
Rev. E. A. Coat, took the stand and entertained
his auditory in a good speech.
The Carswell guards then paraded and display
ed a fine appearance. Their Captain with that
grace, ease and aptitnde for which he is remarka
ble in every station in life, conducted them through
the various evolutions in handsome order. The
writer was forcibly struck with the good appear
ance of the company. They number abont eighty
and in his judgment, from thirty to forty would av
erage six feet. Composed of the best material of
society; able, stalwort and determined, they will
leave their mark upon the enemy, if they ever en
gage them upon the field of battle. This compa
ny takes its name from William E. Carswell, Esq.,
who nobly and patriotically, at an outlay of a thou
sand dollars, equipped them capapie in uniform.—
He deserves the compliment, and none the less
praise-worthy is Col. Green Burney, who furnishes
the company their tents. These generous acts on
the part of men who are able to bestow them, are
worthy of all praise and should be recorded in the
journals of the day, that others may do likewise.

For the Southern Recorder.
Lines addressed to the “ Baldwin Blues” on
their departure for Virginia, April 26, 1861.
Go noble sons of a noble soil,
Defend your rights, despising toil,
Your cause is just, on God rely,
Stand firm, resolved to do or die.
A Northern abolition horde,
Has even dared to draw the sword,
And threatened loud our land to flood,
And dye it red wirii Southern blood.
Go teach them that their boasts are vain,
Their clamorous threatening you disdain,
That all the Sewards and Lincolns too,
Can never frighten a Baldwin Blue.
For thirty years they’ve trampled on
The rights secured by Washington,
Anil other patriots just and brave,
Who scorned to be a tyrant’s slave.
The South has strove with reason’s word,
To stay the strife, prevent the sword,
And now, she strikes but to defend,
Than be a foe, would sooner be a friend.
We do not fight for love of fame,
Nor to secure a titled name,
Nor yet like Cresar great aud brave,
(He only fought but to euslave )
But for onr rights the blade we bare,
Privations, toils, and dangers dare,
Go then brave sous of the Empire State,
Bright crowns of victory you await,
Drive from onr shores the coward band
That attempts to subjugate our land.
Full many a heart beata quick and fast.
As they call to mind days that are p»tt
On many a cheek fond memory’s tear,
Tells how much we miss yon here,
And when the light of day is spent.
This is the prayer that’a upward sent.
To Him who will not prayer refuse,
Kind Father protect the Baldwin Blue.

MOVEMENTS IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.
CiscissATi, July 13.—Despatches received here
from Roaring Kuu, Va., dated July Hkh, say that
Gen, McClellan’s column is feeling its way very
cautiously.
The same despatch says that Gen. McClellan
will feel the Southerners this afternoon.
The Southerners have been reinforced since the
approach of the I ederaiists, and are now working
with great energy, to strengthen their position.
There was a battle at Rich Mountain, near Roar
ing Run, yesterday. The Southerners, 2,000
strong, under Col. Pegram, were surronnded by
the Federalists. The tight lasted an hour and a
haif, when the Southerners retreated, with a loss
of 60 killed, left on the field, and many wounded
Several prisoners, together with six’ guns, and
some horses, fell into the hands of the enemy. The
Federalists lost 20 killed, 40 wounded, anil some
horses.
A dispatch from Roaring Run to the Cincinnati
Gazette, dated previous to the battle at Rich
Mountain, says that the Federalists were 10,IS(>0
strong, while Gen. Pegrani’s command numbered
only 2,000.
MISSOURI AFFAIRS.
St. Louis, July 13.—The houses of the patriots

of one.

Washington, July 12.—In the Senate, a resolu
tion has been adopted, expelling the Southern (se
ceded) Senators from that body—yeas 32, nays 10.

tion of the money shall be used for the subjuga
tion of any State, or for holding them as conquered
provinces, or for interference with slavery in any
State. Tlie resolution was rejected.
Washington, July 13.—The speeches and votes
in Congress indicate that only five Representatives

masters for the army aud the force bill were both
passed.
In the House the Civil Appropriation aud tlie
five hundred thousand Volunteer bills were both

the State troops and the Federalists under Gener
al Zeigle and others, twelve miles beyond Car
thage.
The conflict resulted in the Federal troops being
completely routed, aud with great slaughter.
The Southerners pursued them fourteen miles, to
a point two miles beyond Carthage, where night
ended the conflict.
The Journal learns further, by a letter from Gen.
Parsons, said to have beeu received in Jefferson
City, that he—Gen. Parsons—after pursuing the
Federalists some distance, surrounded Zeigle and
his forces, and demanded tlieir surrender. Gen.
Zeigle stipulated for the surrender of his men with

Editors Atlanta Papers :
Gentlemen—Allow me through your columns to
inform al! volunteers who have not purchased side
arms, that it is useless for them to do so. as they will
not be allowed to carry them after they are mus
tered into service. The money each would spend for’
a pistol will do them great good if brought in money.
There are men here following the army ronnd
to buy the pistols of the volunteers when orders
are given to dispense with them, which orders are
issued as fast as the different regiments arrive in
camp. It will be money thrown away to buy pis
tols. Those who are here buying are doing so for
specnlation, knowing those to whom they sell them
will not be allowed to use them.

At a called meeting of the Blues, Junior, a com
mittee of three were appointed to report resolu
tions touching the death of Freiucrick Shoenbein.
late member of the Baldwin Blues, now serving
m Virginia. Which committee, consisting of
Licnt. Moore, Sergt. Wm. A. Fair and Private
John Grieve, made the followingr report which was
unanimously adopted:
“An inscrutable dispensation of Providence has
removed from our midst, in the bloom »f his man
hood and usefulness, our friend and fellow-citizen,
Frederick Siioenbeis. Though a foreigner by
birth, and encouraged by prospects of a hopeful
future to remain in the quiet walks of business
life, his heart was tired at tie wrong of his adopted
section, and he was among the first to fall into
line of battle, when the aggressive movements
of the North t ailed for resistance and revenge.—
Asa member of the Baldwin Blues, he discharged
his duties with fidelity and zeal till a fearful dis
ease. aggravated by the hardships of tlie service,
compelled him to retire. In the absence of that
Company ho loved so well, and whose honored
name we bear, we have enjoyed the mournful
privilege of consigning bis remains to a soldier’s
grave. We would feign weave a more enduring
chaplet to his memory.
Resolved. That as friends we mourn the untimely
fate of the deceased, whose amiable disposition,
unoffensivc habits and gallant bearing won the
respect of all who knew him.
Resolved, That wc sympathize with the Baldwin
Blues, our honored seniors now in service, who by
this new bereavement, will mourn the loss of one
ofit3most useful, devoted and chivalrous mem
bers.
Resolved, That these Resolutions be published
in the city papers, and a copy transmitted to the
Company of which deceased was a member.”

Richmond, Va., July 14.—Ou Thursday a de-
tachmentof cavalry, six miles from Newport News,
encountered a detachment of the enemy, killed
four, and took twelve prisoners.
Passengers to day from Staunton state reports
current that Confederates met with severe re
verses at Laurel Hill. One report states that 1600
men under Col. Heck surrendered about 100 miles
from Staunton, and that Garnett’s command have
been compelled to evacuate Laurel Hill. These
reports need confimatiou, though there has evi
dently been hard fighting iu that section.
A letter will appear iu the Richmond Dispatch
to-morrow, dated Laurel Hill, 7th inst., which says
“ Another fight, and success to Confederate trosps.
Before day break this morning our troops were
aroused by the tiring of the picket guards ; abont
day light another volley one mile off, when the ex
citement was increased by hearing rapid move
ments. A Georgia Regiment, and some cavalry
held the enemy iu check. The firing was kept up
until three o'clock iu the afternoon, killing and
wounding many Federalists, when the Geoigians
retired. Their position is now occupied by other
regiments.”
Another letter to the Dispatch, dated Laurel Hill
9th, referring to the continued tight says: “The
gallant Georgians under Col. Ramsey again en
gaged early ou Monday morning, and until a late
hour in the day kept up a continued fire. Geor
gians left the ground without a man killed or in
jured.”
The Lynchbnrg Republic of the loth, will state
that on Wednesday morning a skirmish oc
curred 12 miles from Winchester ; two Federalists
killed, and three taken prisoners. Confederates un
injured.
Nothing of any interest from Manassas or other
points.
Under a requisition from the Secretary of War,
Gov. Letcher will issue a proclamation to-morrow,
calling into immediate service the militia of all
-the counties North of James River and East of the
Blue Ridge, as well as the militia of the Valley in
the Stale North of James River.
The Cincinnati Enquirer of ICth inst. confirms
the report of the capture by O. Jennings Wise, of
three companies of the Federalists. The enemy
now occupies Phillipa, Buchanan, Beverly and
Burlington, which the Enquirer thinks may help in
[checking] Gen. Wise.
