Such a combination of •y-its and of services has never been witnessed in my previous struggle, and we refer to it iu this . jttary instance with becoming State pride, at GOV. BROWN’S LETTER. In keeping up a record of the times, we have Irsasferred to our columns a very singular produc ts, drawn from the Governor by one of the Edi tor the Atlanta Intelligencer. Our readers will tfjmine it for themselves, aud pass such judo 1 - sfDt as they may think proper. The severe blow tilt by the Governor at all nominating Conven- tions is well deserved, and months ago we uttered the same voice, though perhaps not as well modu le J. We take this occasion to say, however, lut while we shall, decline recognizing any act of the Convention as obligatory, we shall reserve our principal comments on the official career of Gov. Brown until the Convention shall present a cau- iiate, ora competitor is brought forward in some :her form.

The merchants of Charleston having agreed take Confederate bonds and Treasury notes in pay ment for goods, and for debts, we think the Gov ernment should take charge of the whole Cotton Crop by making an advance, when delivered to its Agents, at certain depots in the interior. This ad' vance in bonds may be for two-thirds or three- fourths of the estimated value of the ,'cotton. the whole nett proceeds, when sold, to be paid to the planters. This step will throw into circulation a- bout $150,000,000. which will ameliorate the finan cial pressure among the indebted classes, and in the mean time will enable the Government to pav its war expenses and sustain its credit from year t<^ lele * le joined khe “Iverson Invi ncibles,” Capt. year, on the cotton basis, until peace shall be coif ur k e > and took part in the battle of Manassas, eluded, and the Confederacy remitted to its sourc/' T * iere ^ ace was grazed by a cannon ball, of agricultural wealth, and a path opened to cc/ ' v ^ io ^ knocked him down,* though not rupturing mercial prosperity, in our foreign trade / *he flesh.

On riding the comments of the Northern press on thfpcople of the South, aud on the cause for whicl.Ahey are making such weighty sacrifices, oue i induced to believe that the influences of bu rn a-ity, and of the fear of Heaven, had been en- tinly withdrawn from the North. Judging by the fait, there is good reason to imagine that the only gayer in the hearts of the North, as indicated by ■ in; people of Georgia) where there has been its press, is, for epithets of reproach and insult, of i.istrict uniformity among ail bis predecessors 1 retiring after the second term. To depart from 1 tie example for his petsonal benefit would be » siisliadow upon the administrations of the gr«l it! rood men who have passed from the Extcu- re without a third endorsement. iaarguing the question of precedent, Governor Hun has referred to Gov. Irw in, who, he says, as called to the Executive Chair the thirdtime.” erecord does not fully susrain the quotation in light perhaps which the ^reader will imagine, have turned to the authority, and find that in iiaiiy, 1790, Gen. Jared Irwin was elected Gov- :or by the Legislature for the term of two years, ndrasucceeded by Gen. James Jackson. We .-a:nothing- more of him in the Executive until :>ept. 2.J, 1806 to Nov. 7, 1806, when as Pres- of the Senate lie filled the vacancy caused by Selection of Gov. Milledge to the Senate of the States. Then Gov. Irwin was continued itie office by a fresh election by the Legislature, kills was the third term relied upon by Gov. to justify his adoption of so worthy an ex- * s pie as that of the grandfather of his corres- Eiient. hi! be an undoubted fact, however, as the Gov erns persuaded in his own mind, that his active Kicy in bringing about secession, imposes on 2 ibe task of navigating the Ship of State thro’ fgalc now raging, caused try secession, and that a »pilot, unacquainted with the channel, would l pt wreck the ship on some hidden rock or fin; sand bar ; and especially that the income he .State road would be materially diminished ertbe control of any other Governor, it argues - gb degree of patriotism to consent to take the : ~ ie another term, against his own inclination. h believe we do Gov. Brown no injustice in thus ‘odensing his reasons for submitting himseif to c people of Georgia for re-election. We certain- '•aire to throw no obstacles in the way of a fair opressiun of tliejpublic will. PROVISIONS IN THE SOUTH. Ivery remarkable difference in the productive V«ies of the North and the South, is, that while soldiers of the former are iu the field, say 300,- i at much of the bone and musefe is withdrawn 111 a Piculture and other employments necessa- ■ 'V'furnish subsistence to the North. Thus while ere 18110 demand for manufactures, owing to the * of the Southern trade, and most of the me- '“ iIUcs au d operatives being idle,Jin the mean time -saining the stock of provisions on hand, there -~ams but a very inadequate supply of labor to ■ ‘ks soil, and starvation must be the painful eon- ; v j Dce.

The people of the South, at vengeance and fury, with which to curse the South. No anathema of the Pope, in its catalogue of tor tures, imprecated on the head of some poor heretic or spiritual seceder, has ever been half so terrific. There is not a particle of the South, in the land which gives us bread, in the water which slakes our thirst, in the staple which clothes us, in the zeph yrs which refresh us in summer, in the air we breathe, and in the labor which ministers to our comfort, and provides the attire of nations, but what is cursed by the North, cursed in the aggre gate and in detail, cursed day and night, in sun shine and in rain, in mountain and valley, in ham let and city, in garden and field, in church and in State, from the centre of the earth to the sky,—all in Southern latitudes, wiped out, blighted forever ! Such appear to be the invocations of the Northern pulpit, as tliey are certainly tlie breathings of the Northern press. Oh the value, the relief, the in expressible consolation of the assurance, that “the prayers of the wicked never prevail.' 1 HOSPITALS IN VIRGINIA. Richmond aud other localities where the wound ed have been taken from Manassas, are crowded with sufferers, many hundred of the enemy having been left to the care of our “good Samaritans.”— From a false etiquette, and a very disgusting dig nity on the part of the Lincoln Government, they refused to send flags of truce to our Generals for the privilige of burying their dead and taking charge of their wounded. Such a flag, according to the technicalities of jwar, would admit our status as belligerents, in which character they decline con sidering us; but in spite of the many drubbings we have given them, they still deem us rebels only. In due time a different lesson will be taught them,— a very belligerent lesson, and then they may solve the etiquette to their satisfaction. What a burlesque on national dignity, to invade the South, then re tire, leaving their slain and wounded on our hands, and cover up the meanness by entrenching them selves behind dignity, abolition dignify, official dignity! Surely all decent people, of all Governments un der the sun, must despise such low subterfuges, and pity the bard lot of those brave men and wo men who, as in Maryland, have been chained in moral dungeons by the despot at Washington. We hope that all our wounded soldiers may recover and such of them as have limbs and strength to re sume their places in the army, may have the full measure of revenge by assisting in another Man* assas combat. We have seen with regret the announcement of the death of George G. Henry, Esq., of Mo bile, Alabama. For many years be had been i commission merchant of that city, of large business and bad given particular attention to the cotton trade, the effect of supply and demand, and the in fluences on the price, from political or other causes in Europe. The circulars of Mr. Henry which lie frequently issued, were as remarkable for their commercial judgment, as - those of Baring & Broth ers of Liverpool, and were as much respected in financial circles on this side of the Atlantic. Devoting the energies of his active mind to the uses of Cotton, he invented a machine for converting the lint into yarn in the process of ginning. He obtained a patent, and many of his machines have been in successfuljoperation.in Alabama, Mississip pi and Other Cotton States of the South W T est, to the great profit of planters. The death of such a man is a public misfortune. Mr. Henry married a daughter of the late George Carey, Esq., of Co lumbus, Georgia. GEN. EWELL’S BRIGADE. Au explanation has been given of the failure of Gen. Ewell to obey the order ot Gen. Beauregard in the battle of Manassas. It seems that while the movement was in progress to execute the order, “a trooper galloped up to Gen. Ewell with a ver bal message” to operate in another direction, which was done. But no oue knew the trooper, nor can his name be ascertained. It is a strange occurrenc to say the least of it. INSURANCE ON COTTON. The Cotton Factors of New Orleans and other Southern Ports, have joined in a request to plan ters to send forward no cotton until the blockade is removed. The planters will find it greatly to their interest to comply, as they can find no sale, and no insurance in the cities, as will be seen by the following resolution adopted by the Board of Underwriters at New Orleans: “ Resolved That no River Insurance on Cotton bound to this port nor Fire Insurance on Cotton in the citv of New Orleans, be taken until the block- , i 2- its rftft navigation re- ***t hav e no apprehension of such a miracle. ade of the port is raised, and its free navigation re sumed. Cotton on plantations m*y be i^jed against fire to the extent of three fourths of its val- ui, provided it is stored in lots of not exceeding one hundred and fifty bales and the lots at least three hundred feet apart.” in the 45th year of his age. dren survive him. SENATORIAL DISTRICTS. The arrangement of 44 Senatorial Districts, three counties to each, was perfected by an ordinance of the State Convention at Savannah, on 23d March, the same day the revised Constitution was adopt ed. We have heretofore published the plan, and shall do so again next week, for public information. We learn that the people are impatient to know the result of the late vote on Ratification. This was provided for by the ordinance, requiring the Governor, after counting the votes, to issue his proclamation declaring the Constitution ratified or not ratified. In some two or three counties no polls were opened, and returns from about as many oth ers have not been received at the Executive De partment. There is no doubt, however, that a ma jority ot the votes on file is for the revised Consti tution. In the mean time, however, the people may bring forward their District candidates independent of the new Constitution, as the|same authority which foi m- ed the latter passed the Ordinance establishing the Districts, in virtue of its sovereign power, which was claimed to be above all constitutions. E5P The proposition of Prof. Gokres, of the Washington Institute, in relation to a Society of Artists to raise money for the soldiers, was receiv ed too late for particular notice this week. Iu our next it shall have the proper attention. BRUNSWICK RAILROAD. The Tliomasville Enterprise, gives the gratifying intelligence that, this road has been finished to its junction with the Atlantic aud Gulf Road, and that the trains now pass through from Savannah to Brunswick. This is good news it justly x'emarks for the people of Georgia, when they consider the military importance of the splendid port of Brunswick and that we have already nearly one thousand men there to be maintained from the in terior. GAMBLERS IN THE ARMY. A correspondent of the Columbus Times states, that the Confederate army in Virginia was infested by a great number of faro dealers and pi^essional gamblers, many of whom had “joined the army as privates for the purpose of swindling the poor sol dier out of his hard earned pittance of $11 per month.” It is hoped that the superior officers will punish with severity, and cut the wings of ail such carrion crows,” who are a stench in the nostrils of honest men. A BAD NAME. As a just consequence of its empty boasting, of which wc have given our readers inany samples, from time to time, the North lias become a common butt of ridicule with foreign nations, in proof of which we quote the following passage from the Montreal Gazette, commenting on the disaster of Manassas : “The North has bragged so much and so loudly lias been so insolent in its tone, not only towards the South, but towards Britain ; it has bragged so much about thrashing Great Britain and crumpling up poor little Canada, that sympathy has been al ienated from the braggart and the bully. We did not believe that where so much gasconade was there could be the true metal of which armies are made ; and when we discover so much lying in the newspaper reports about the Northern and South ern armies, w r e learned to distrust all that they said.” NEGROES IN U. S. ARMY. On 23d ult., Mr. Burnett, of Kentucky, offered a resolution in the U. S. House of Representatives, calling on the Secretary of War for information as to the arming and employment of negroes in the army. The resolution was defeated by being laid on tbe table. Afterwards Mr. Burnett, by permission, made a personal explanation, in tbe course of which lie said his reasons for introducing the resolution were that he himself had seen negroes in the ranks of the Federal army in this city, wearing the United States uniform and fully armed with U. S. weapons. He was opposed to the employment of either Indi ans or negroes iu a war between whitemen. It was unworthy of Christians. If there must be war, let it be conducted according to the principles and practices of civilization. Camp Jackson, ? Nansemoud Co., Ya., Aug. 11,1861. £ Messrs. Editors Recorder: Thinking your read ers, especially the home folks immediately con cerned would be pleased to hear from the 4tli Ga., Regiment, I have concluded, Sunday as it is, to drop you a few lines. This regiment is now encamped in the vicinity of Hampton Roads, between Bullock & Iloffler’s creek. It is tlie general impression, at home, that this Regiment stands in no danger of a fight—that they are having a good, easy time—in fact, just ly ing iu Camp growing fat on government rations. Nothing could be farther from the truth, as the facts will show you. In the immediate vicinity of this camp on Newport’s News, Hampton, Fortress Monroe, and the Rip Raps—not oue of them more than eight miles from the spot on which I am now sitting. I have just returned from the beach, where I have been inspecting, by the aid of a glass, the various Federal posts in our vicinity. The Star Spangled Banner, once our pride and boast, that in days of yore elicited shouts of applause, is ilaunt- ingfy displayed on the soil of the “Old Dominion over the heads of men, sworn to support Lincoln’s government, to devastate.Southern homes, to burn, pillage aud destroy Southern towns, insult female virtue, and send helpless women aud children houseless and homeless wanderers fiom the soil be- quethed to us by revolutionary sires or purchased by the sweat of honest industry. As I looked upon the almost countless tents at Newport’s News, Hampton,,01d Point &c., the im pulse was almost irresistible to curse (something I never do) the Hessian invaders and almost to curse myself, that I, thus in sight and seemingly so near them, was impotent to strike them a blow. The Navy, which has been nourished and built up to its present proportions by “fishing bounties” and “bottomry bonuses” extorted by indirect taxation upon Southern industry and Southern commerce, is doing its share in the foul work of invasion. In si^ht of me now are the masts, sails and smoke stacks of numerous vessels of war, frigates, and steamers, sailing back and forth, from point to point, upon whose decks, by the aid of glasses, may be seen the hireling invaders, brought so near to view, that the style and color of their uniforms are plainly discernable, and the name of the craft up on which they sail quite legible. A few nights since the town of Hampton was burned, the bril liancy of the conflagration lighting the “Roads” for miles around, and making nearly as light as day, the beach upon which this camp is located. The magnificent college building at Hampton was not consumed, as it was doubtless needed for military purposes. These are some of the scenes, daily, hourly pre senting themselves to tantalize, and annoy our brave boys, who at a moment’s warning are ready to repel the invaders, whenever they shall come within range of our gnns. To guard against a sur prise the utmost vigilance is necessary. Broken slumbers by night and tedious and tiresome drills and marches by day is the constant employment of our men. All these they bear without a mur mur. I do wish some of our people who look up on soldiering, as illustrated by our troops, as holi day sport—a frolic on a large scale—couhl see and realize the privations, toils and dangers to whicl they are daily exposed. Hundreds of men in oui army, who at home were never known to chop i stick of wood or draw a bucket of water, handle the spade, throwing up embankments, digging wells, cutting ditches, and building bridges, with the energy aud efficiency of veteran rail road labor ers. And this they do for eleven dollars a month and rations—this they are doing that you and I may have a free government with rulers of our own choosing, that we all may “worship God under our vine and fig tree, with none to molest or make us afraid.” I would urge upon our people at home to use their utmost exertions, to feed and clothe the indigent families of the absent ones, and to begin now to prepare for tbe comfort of our soldiers dur ing tbe coming winter. Clothing, blankets aud shoes will be much needed, and if not supplied our men must suffer greatly—especially in this section where snow falls to tbe depth of several feet. Camp Jackson (named in honor of the hero, who perished at Alexandria) is located iu a clump of pines, half a mile from the beach. It is supplied with water from a most excellent spring, said to have been used by an encampment near this place iu the war of 1812. Watermelons, cantelopcs, cab bages, Irish aud sweet potatoes, tomatoes, roasting- ears &c., are here in profusion, and at low prices. Eat pigs, in great abundance, are in and around the camps, but the boys dare not knock one over “on the sly.” Butter can not be had for love or money. There is, just now, a good deal of sickness in the Regiment, but none among tlie “Blues.”— Just here, I would remark, that it is a fact, strange but true, that Lardy country boys do not stand the fatigues &c., of the camp so well as the town boys, whose tender training, and habits of idleness here tofore, would seem to predict a different result. Colonel Doles and his Staff are very deservedly popular, and the “Blues” with their model Captain and Lieutenants are highly respected for their gen tlemanly deportment, soldierly bearing, and bigli toned morality. Of course I do not pretend to say every man iu the company possesses all these traits. No man or body of men is perfect. The immediate representative of the “Recorder” (Dr. Henry S. Orme) has endeared himself to every company in the Regiment, by his untiring exertions to minis ter to the necessities of the sick. R. E. G. who is a good blacksmith, together with fourteen other blacksmiths from this Regiment have been sent on special duty to Gosport Navy Yard. These get two dollars per day, besides their eleven dollars per mouth. It appears the Smiths at tlie Yard struck for higher wages. I send you the following, which I clip from the Portsmouth Transcript of yesterday. ADVERTISEMENT. Portsmouth, 9th Aug. 1861. Sirs :—When 100,000 Southern soldiers are giv ing their time, labor and blood for the South, I wish to know with what grace the Blacksmiths of the Navy Yard dare desert the service because they work five minutes longer and receive $2 per day, while the soldiers receive $11 per month. Shame aud disgrace on such men. Albert G. Blanchard, Col. 1st Regiment La. Volunteers. Aug. 10—It Having notified the hoys that I shail leave the camp to-morrow, all are busy sitting about on j stumps, writing letters to the “loved ones at home.” j A paid a visit yesterday to the Navy Yard, di.s- I tant from this camp about twelve miles. If I had I sc-en nothing else, this would have amply paid me I for my visit to Virginia. What 1 saw there has , been so fully described by others, that I deem a j repetition here unnecessary. While there I visited the 3rd Ga., Regiment, un- ! der command of Col. A. R. Wright. I found them i generally well, there being but fifty on the sick list, i and most of them convalescing. Capt. Blodgett’s | company has been transferred to another Regi- | ment, now at Manassas. So there is a vacancy of j one company in the Regiment, which may be fill ed by Capt. Cone’s company, now encamped in tlie immediate vicinity I cannot forbear mentioning an agreeable sur prise afforded me by my friend of Aldermanic pro portions, the Captain of the Dawson Greys. Ask ing me to walk with him, I complied, and after per ambulating about, a mile from his camp, we came to a fine grove, in which we found two or three messes of tlie Greys, with some Greene county la dies setting at a table, from which I ate as good a barbecue, as I ever saw. We had pig, lamb, ham, potatoes, beets, green corn, butter, peach pies, ice, &c., all arranged in tlie best Georgia style. A j more hospitable set of fellows, than the Dawson ! Greys is hard to find. I spent last night on Craney Island, four or five miles from Portsmouth. This Island has been so thoroughly fortified, that it can defy the combined fleet of the Lincoln Government. Mrs. M. and Miss D. both of Milledgeville are spending a few days at Camp Jackson. I saw Rev. W. Flinn, chaplain of the 3d Regi ment. He is looking better, than I ever saw him —this remark applies, with but few exceptions, to all of the “Blues.” The news from the Confederate Army near Man assas, is scarce. But few are allowed to go there, and none may bring any news of army movements thence. The position of our army has been chang ed. Instead of acting on the defensive, the word is now forward. In ten days we will, no doubt, have some great news. I leave here to-morrow for Richmond—thence to Manassas, if I can get a pass. Yours, C. P. S. Along the whole route the crops are very fine. In the pine barrens—the turpentine regions of North Carolina—the corn crops are as line as I ever saw on bottomlands in Baldwin county. For the Southern Recorder. Letters to a young Georgian in the Army of the Confederate States. No. IV. Since my last communication, the event of Ma nassas ha3 occurred, and I learn that you are un happy, because your Regiment occupied another post which denied you the opportunity of winning laurels in the great battle. While I am disposed to treat your murmuring with forbearance, and even to respect the feeling which prompted it, I hope you will not spurn the consolation I offer, which is, that your life has been prolonged, or at least that much real suffering has been avoided on your part by being absent from the gory battle field. In saying this, I know the risk I incur of losing your friendship, or at least that genuine aud tender regard which you have ever manifested for my opinions ; for in that excess of patriotic fervor, and thirst for glory natural to a Southerner of your age, which impelled you to take up arms in behalf of your country, you consider my prudential words, my half congratulatory expressions, as tlie cold ness of a heart whose tide is no longer a current of flame, driving through its channels with the fierce ness of burning lava down the fearful declivities of Mount Af.tna, during an eruption. Yes, the spirit of man has its volcanic throes, and you are now visited with one of these spasms of nature. Suppose you had been at Manassas, and in the famous Eighth Georgia Regiment led by Col. Bar tow in the charge on Sherman’s battterv,—what then ? Of the five hundred and fifty gallant men, of that Regiment, who advanced rvitli him in the face of the destructive fire of the enemy, not less than one-half were killed and wounded, and among them tlie fearless Bartow himself met a hero’s death. His memory is imperishable, and already we find his name and the picture of the Confederate flag which he bore at bis fall, engraved on the fin est note paper, and on letter envelopes with the motto, “I go to ^illustrate Georgiafrom his letter to the Governor when he left home with his youth ful comrades for active service in Virginia, rather than to eke oat an inglorious military station at Savannah and its environs. Bartow’s fall was as brilliant as that of Wolfe before the walls of Quebec one hundred years ago, both young, both ambitions, both strangers to fear, and both immor tal. Eulogies and resolutions in Congress have testified the public grief; and with Bee and Johnston, also heroic officers who perished in the same battle, the people of Charleston bestowed funeral honors worthy of the sad occasion, while the remains of Bartow lay in state in the Citadel. But it was reserved for the city of Savannah to bury her favorite son with honors which had nev- ■r before been accorded to her distinguished dead. I will not pretend to give you a sketch of the cere monies ; of the public halls draped in mourning; of the remains lying in state; of the thousands ol weeping friends, neighbors and visitors who thronged the apartment in which the hero reposed before his guard of honor; of the funeral discourse by the Rt. Rev. Bishop of the Diocese; of the large military procession with arms reversed, and the mournful dirge from the band of music; of the miles of carriages that followed the hearse to the cemetery, and of the farewell discharges of artille ry aud musketry as dust was committed to dust, the hero sou resting by the side of his patriotic fa ther. I will make no attempt at description; the city papers have well performed this work which you have no doubt seen. I merely allude to the occasion as one long to be remembered in Georgia, and which will no doubt have its influence in stim ulating youth to noble aims, and to patriotic sacri fices for their country. Bartow will doubtless be commemorated on the State map, aud by special acts of legislation his name will be honorably trans mitted to other generations. I amagine, however, that by this time you de mand my motive for dwelling so liberally on the example of Col. Bartow, as if no other man had served liis country, ov had bled and died with as much eclat. You no doubt ask, mentally, whether I was such au admirer of this gentleman while living, as to hold him up as a model for your imi tation in all respects ? I will frankly explain. There was a seeming haughtiness in the bearing of Col. Bartow which always kept me at a dis tance from him on public occasions where I fre quently saw him, and at no other time was it my good fortune to be in his company. Iu the South ern Commercial Convention at Savannah in 1856, I served with him, among about Jive hundred dele gates from Georgia, aud was present in a sort of mass committee when certain questions were vot ed upon preparatory to being reported as the voice of Georgia. Col. Bartow ou that occasion con ciliated me by his agreeable manners, and by his marked deference to his seniors, on whom he forc ed all the honors. The Hon. James Lyons of Virginia presided over the Convention, and Col. Albert Pike of Arkaasas was among tlie elo quent speakers who addressed it. Both these gen tlemen are now prominent actors in the cause of the South, and I deem it only a just tribute to their patriotism that I should associate their names with that of Col. Bartow, who lavished upon them true Southern hospitality, and thus maintained the high character of Savannah for refined courtesies to strangers. Still I have not answered the question which I have supposed, as to making Col. Bartow a mod el for your imitation ; nor can I exactly tell what I would have you do in this respect. He had pe culiarities which ’t would be unfortunate for you to possess. You can sufficiently understand my meaning when I allude to them as being the cause of his defeat for Congress, some years ago, when liis intellectual and moral superiority was admit ted even by those who voted against him. Had I lived in his District, however, I should not have permitted his imperious manner and stilled digni ty to influence my vote, but would have supported liimfyom the conviction that lie was a gentleman, and had the ability to reflect honor on his State in the councils of the old Republic, but now hated des potism. In his beautiful eulogy in Congress, Mr. T. R. Corb spoke of the apparent forbidding ad dress of Col. Bartow ou first view; but he said it dissolved into the sweetest simplicity on mature acquaintance. I accept tlie solution, and advise tliatiu future you should not judge rashly as I did on first impressions, by which I missed the person al acquaintance of a gentleman to whom I make amends by this public acknowledgment. I have no doubt that hundreds of others iu Georgia expe rience the same regret. For your consolation, however, I would say that a “living dog is better than a dead lion,” without meaning to offend yoa by the comparison in which you may feel a personal interest. I shall reserve my thoughts on this topic for some other commu nication ; and in the meantime may Heaven pre serve you. Farewell! Soldiers’ Relief Society. The Ladies of the Relief Society requests per sons who contribute clothing material for our Vol unteers, to give woolen, instead of cotton cloth, as the ladies are anxious to prepare at once warm winter clothing for them ; besides, they have on hand quite a supply of cotton garments. We trust our people will be prompt and generous in rendering all the, assistance in their power for this purpose. A mistake occurred in last week's publication of donations to the Society. The donor of a large supply of clothing, should have been Mrs. S. in stead of Mrs. J. Whitaker. Mrs. M. F. FORT, President. R. Harris, Sec’y. August 20, 1861. Monticello, Georgia, ?

Important.—The telegraph informs ns that only such articles as are universally acknowledged as “contraband of war,” will be blockaded at Louis ville ; and that bagging, rope, fabrics, provisions, and small stores, will be allowed to pass that point BY THE CALIFORNIA STEAMER. New York, Aug. 13.—Passengers by the Cali fornia steamer, who came part of the way with Ah bert Sidney Johnston, stateUiat bis suit consists of thirty officers with servants, that he would arrive in New Orleans between the 1st and 10th of Sep tember. The Confederate Congress, now in session at Richmond, has extended the provisions of the act prohibiting the exportation of Cotton except through the ports of the Confederate States. The extension covers Rice, Sugar, Molasses and Syr ups. The prohibition is to be continued during the existence of the blockade, and is fortified by severe penalties, amounting to fine or imprison ment of the person violating the same, and the for feiture to the Government of any steamboat or rail road car engaged in the transportation of these sta ples to an illegal port. The act takes effect at once. From the Citizen we learn that among those of the 1st Georgia Regiment (Col. Ramsey) taken prisoners by McClellan’s forces in Western Vir ginia, and released on parole until exchanged, are 11 from the Southern Guards, 7 from the Southern Rights Guards, 3 from the Walker Light Infantry. 2 from the Oglethorpe Infantry, 2 from the New- nan Guards, and one each from the Bainbridge Volunteers, Washington Rifles and Gate City Guards. A Noteworthy Incident.—We are informed by a srentleman who has the facts from an authen tic source, says the Augusta Constitutionalist, that a Prayer Meeting was held at Atkinson’s Church, on Sunday morning, July 21st, especial ly for the safety and welfare of the Oglethorpe Rifles, Capt. Lumpkin, a volunteer company from the neighborhood of the Church. The Prayer meeting was held at the very hoar that the battle of Manassas was raging. The Ri fles were in that battle—forming a part of the Eighth Georgia Regiment, which was in the thickest of the fight—and yet that company alone, of all engaged in the battle, shows upon the re cord, none killed.

Richmond, Aug. 17.—Dispatches received here from a reiiable source, reports tlie Confederate loss at the battle near Springfield, Missouri, about 2,000 killed, wounded and missing. The Federal loss in killed, wounded and prison ers, is 2,500. Gen. Lyon was killed. Six cannon were taken, and a large amount of stores, wagons, &c. The Federal troops were totally routed. McCulloch and Price were in hot pursuit of the enemy. They were confident of capturing the whole of Seigels command. Hardee aud Jeff. Thompson were moving North east, expecting to cut off Seigcl’s retreat towards St. Louis. WAR NEWS FROM RICHMOND. Richmond, Aug. 16—The glorious warnewsof the brilliant exploit of Gen. N. G. Evans, in com pletely cutting off a large body of the invaders, is fully confirmed by official dispatches received at the War Department to day. Tlie brigade of Gen eral Evans consisted of the 8th Virginia Regiment and the 17th and 18th Mississippi Regiments; the Howitzer Battery, from this city, was also includ ed in his command. Tlie enemy’s force consisted of 1,70(1 men, a portion of Gen. Banks’ army on ti e upper Potomac, and were admirably equipped and provided in every respect. Tlie tight occurred at Lovetsville. asniall town in Loudor. co., about twelve miles Northwest of Leesburg, and distant only about six miles from Gen. Banks’ Headquar ters at Harper’s Ferry. The enemy crossed the Potomac late on Monday evening. During that night a great rise in the river took place, and ail the neighboring fords were quite impassable.— It was in this condition that Gen. Evans brought up his three regiments to attack the enemy. So skillfully was liis advance planned, that, our loss, in killed and wounded, was less than 20; while the enemy’s loss, in killed exceeded 200. The number of prisoners taken is nearly 1,500 with a very large amount of stores, ammunition, trans portation, arms, etc. Dispatch to the Knoxville (Tenn.) Daily Register. Lynchburg, Aug. 14.—The army ot the North west, under Gen. Loriug, at last accounts, was at Big Spring, Pocahontas county. He has now a large force under his command, and is slowly ad vancing westward ; but in less than a week will, without doubt, reach Phiiiipa, en route for Clarks burg, where Gen. Resencrantz is encamped. Richmond, Aug. 14.—A gentleman just arrived from Washington represents tlie population of the Lincoln capital as being in a state bordering on levolt, and that the Hessian Government is in great alarm. The entire military force in Washington and Al exandria does not exceed 35,()<)(•. It is generally estimated in Washington that tbe Federal loss in the battles of the 16th aud 21st of July, in killed, wounded and missing, amounted to twenty thousand. Death of Thomas Hardeman, Sen.—This vener able citizen departed this life, at his residence, in Vineviile, on yesterday. He was buried this morn ing with Masonic honors, nearly all the stores be ing closed at the time, in tokeu of respect for the man who has, for more than a quarter of a centu ry, been a prominent merchant and business man of Macon.—Peace to his ashes.—Macon Cit.l‘2th.

Under ;;ri appointment made by our fellow-citi zens, we have been some time acting in the man agement of a Hospital Fund, which has been rais ed, and is being raised in our State, and applied for the benefit of the sick and wounded of the Georgia forces iu the field. This has been called the “Geor gia Soldiers Hospital Fund,” and we respectfully ask that you will assist ns, by organizing an aux- illiary committee, or otherwise acting in your couu ty. We have at present two surgical directors, and several assistants or nurses, who, by permis sion of the Secretary of War, are in permanent at tendance on the Hospitals. These not only afford the necessary ministrations to oui sick aud wound ed, but supply them with such extra coinforts as are proper in their situation. As the number of the sick and wounded increase, there will of course be an increased demand for such services and such comforts , and we appeal to our feilow-citizens in all parts of the State, (for we make no distinction iu our ministrations, and know none ; every son and soldier of Georgia having the same claim up on us, and equally receiving the attention of our agents ) to aid us in this interesting work. A patriotic aud humane planter has suggested in one of the public gazettes that the planters of Geor gia should contribute each one bale of Cotton to this Fund, so as to put it upon an entirely secure and independent basis. Upon this many have act ed, and have sent us subscriptions. If others choose to do so, we will thankfully receive them, and prom ise that we w ill dispose of them to the best advan tage iu aid ol this pious charity. The Cotton can be subscribed—to be sent to our chairman, or to the donor’s factor, aud the proceeds turned over to our chairman for the purposes in tended- It at the end of the war there should be a surplus of this Fund left, we propose to divide it among the indigent families of such of our soldiers as may die in the service. Persons sending boxes of articles will please place a list and the number of the contents legibly upon the outside. Any package intended for the sick aud wounded of a particular company, if sent to our care, will be carefully forwarded. We append a list of the articles, arranged in the order which (if the subscription should be in such things) will tie found most useful: Sheets, pillows and pillow cases, handkerchiefs, hose, jackets, draw ers, socks, shirts, towels, blan kets, coverlids, tea, coffee, arrow root, rice, sngar, corn starch, isinglass, nine juice, medicines of all kinds, bandages, wines, brandies, liquorice, rose water and flax seed.
