Charles J. Williams, and k M been stationed at Fort Pulaski, and Tybee. until recently, when it was ordered to Virginia by the Secretary of W ar. _ INDEPENDENT REGIMENTS. Under an act of Congress, President Davis has accepted a number of companies from Georgia, which have been formeS into Regiments. The organization of the latter has not been reported to the State Executive, and therefore the officers cannot be ascertained from the Adjutant General s flee The Regiments arc generally known, however, as Bartow s, Conner s, McLaws , Printup s a Ector’s, the latter being called the Toombs Regiment. In addition to these, there will soon be iu the field T. R. R- Cobb’s Legion, Gov. Cobb’s Regiment, and several others now in process of fonna- rinn Gen Phillips’ Brigade has been several weeks in camp of instruction "ear Marietta, and is soon to receive marching orders. All these show a force of about 25,000 men which Georgia has fur- may keep noshed*the Confederate States, and more than double this uumber can be raised when necessary. The roll of officers in this Table is believed to be accurate; but it is passible that a few errors be fonud where the^xamination was so extensive, amid entries made with great rapidity, to »>ie record nf eommissions issued since the war commenced. If any errors are perceived, they will of coarse l^corrected on notice of the fact. Officers are sometimes changed by promotion, which cir cumstance is not always notified to the Executive.

TO THE PUBLIC. Augusta, Ga., August 12th, 1861. Under au appointment made by our fellow-citi zens, we Lave been some, time acting iu 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 aud wounded of the Georgia forces iu the field. This lias been called the “Geor gia Soldiers Hospital Fund,” and we respectfully ask that you will assist us, by organizing an aux iliary committee, or otherwise acting in your coun 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 011 the Hospitals. These not only afford the necessary ministrations to our sick and wound ed, but supply them with such extra comforts as are proper iu their situation. As the number of the sick and wounded increase, there will of course be au increased demand for such services and such comforts , and we appeal to our fellow-citizens iu all parts of the State, (for we make no distinction in our ministrations, aud 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 will dispose of them to the best advan tage in aid of 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. If at the end of the war there should be a surplus of this Fund left, vve propose to divide it aniotig the iudigent families of such of our soldiers as may die iu the service. Persons sending boxes of articles will please place a list aud the number of the contents legibly upon the outside. Any package intended for the sick aud wounded of a particular company, if sent to onr care, will be carefully forwarded. We append a list of the articles, arranged in the order which (if the subscription should be iu such things) will be found most useful: Sheets, pillows and pillow cases, handkerchiefs, hose, jackets, drawers, socks, shirts, towels, blan kets, coverlids, tea, coffee, arrow root, rice, sugar, corn starch, isinglass, lime juice, medicines of all kinds, bandages, wines, brandies, liquorice, rose water and flaxseed. Shirts,—Two breadths of unbleached cotton, lj yards long, 1 yard wide, open at bottom A yard ; sleeve, leuth j yard ; armhole, length 12 inches ; length of collar 20 inches ; length of slit in front 28 inches ; a piece 4 inches wide, lapping under, fastened with 4 tapes; short bed gowns, as shirts only, only 1 yard long and open in front. Cotton drawers. 1] yards long, with breadth of 1 yard iu each leg, with hem aud draw string around each leg aud the waist; length of waist to crotch 12 inches on the back, frontll inch es, with 3 buttons aud button holes.

Come all good people, great and small, Let’s sing a race that did befall, The Yau—the Yan—the Yankee men in Dixie, Old traitor Scott, in pomp and pride, Declar’d to Richmond, he would ride, Aud have—snd have—and have a race in Dixie; Let’s march away to Dixie, Away! Away! The rebel baud shall leave the laud, That’s gather’d down iu Dixie. Away! Away ! Let's see the race in Dixie. From Washington, Oh! glorious fun The Yankee Girls and Men did run, To see—to see—to see the race in Dixie, And some they went with banners line. And some, they carried cakes and wine. To eat—to eat—to eat and drink in Dixie, Let’s march,{they cried, to Dixie, Away ! Away! Oh! sadly they will rue the day. They went with arms, and flags so gay, Away! Away! To run away from Dixie. Old Lincoln sent young Bob his son, And all his Congress to Bull Run, To see—to see—to see the race in Dixie. Miss Wilson and her Pap were there, And sweet Miss Weed, inarch’d in the rear. To plant—to plant—to plant the stripes in Dixie. Away ! Away ! for Dixie. Away! Away! Let’s see the sight, they’ll never fight, The rebels, they will take the flight, Away! Away! We’ll run them out of Dixie. They planted Cannon on the hill, I11 hope much rebel blood to spill, Away ! away ! away down there in Dixie. But Beauregard and Johnston, true, And Bartow, Bee, and others too, Were there—were theie—were there to fight for Dixie. a ‘Let’s fight’ they cried, for Dixie : Away ! Away! A tyrant baud invades our land, On Dixie, let us take our stand, Hurrah! Hurrah! We’ll live aud die by Dixie. Before the setting of the sun, That noble battle it was won. By Sou—by Sou—by Suuthern Boys at Dixie. Oh ! thousands who. at morning light, Had march'd so proudly to the tight, Were ly—were ly—were lying dead on Dixie. Oh! far away in Dixie. Away ! Away! The men of might, that bloody night, Who were uot slain all took to flight. Away ! Away ! And ran away from Dixie. Aud South Car’lina, she was there, With Georgia Boys, the fame to share, Of stall—of stall—of standing fast by Dixie : And Alabama, by the side, Of Louisiana, pour'd a tide, Of free—of free—of freemens’ blood for Dixie. Hurrah ! Hurrah ! for Dixie, Away! Away! For Sons who died, that glorious day ! Old Fathers with their locks so gay", Away 1 Away! Are gone to fight for Dixie. Mis’sippi and tlie good North State, With old Virginia, shar’d the fate, Of that—of that—of that great tight in Dixie. And Florida and Tennessee, And Arkansas, stood by the free. Who fou—who fou—who fought and bled in Dixie. Come sing the song of Dixie, Hurrah! Hurrah! Missouri and Kentucky, soon, With Maryland, will join the tune, Hurrah! Hurrah! And sing Hurrah ! for Dixie. Let millions of the Hessiaus come! At Bugle sound and roll of Drum, We’ll ral—we’ll ral—we’ll rally all for Dixie. For Wives and Children, Homes and Friends, He nobly dies! who these defends. Away ! away ! away ! far off in Dixie. Hurrah ! Hurrah! for Dixie. Away ! Away! The hordes that boast on Dixie soil, To glut their lust and reap the spoil, For aye ; for aye ! Shall die and rot on Dixie. Now let us sing the glorious song! Of those who go to avenge the wrong, Of Yan—of Yan—of Yankees done in Dixie. Let’s sing’ to all 011 Dixie’s side’; And shed a tear for those who died, In the—iu the—in the great fight for Dixie, Hurrah! Hurrah! for Dixie! Hurrah! Hurrah! We’ll drive Old Lincoln’s hireling band, From Southern Sea and Southern Strand, Away ! Away ! Or die, each one on Dixie. Man's Duty to Woman. Let him be grateful to woman for this undoubted achievement of her sex, that it is she far more than he, and she too, often in spite of him who has kept Christianity from lapsing back into barbarism—kept mercy and truth from being utterly over borne by those two greedy monsters, mon ey and w ar. Let him be grateful for this, that almost every great soul, that has led forward or lifted up the race, has been fur nished for each noble deed and inspired with each patriotic aud holy aspiration by tlie retiring fortitude of some Spartan 01 more than Spartan, some Christian mother. Moses, the deliverer of his people, drawn out of the Nile by tbe king’s daughter, some one lias hinted, is only a symbol of the way that woman’s better instincts al ways out wii the tyrauical diplomacy of man. Let him cheerfully remember that though the sinewy sex achieves enter prises on public theatres, it is the nerve and sensibility of the other that arms the mind and iutfames the soul in secret. “A man discovered America, but a woman eqniped the voyage.” So everwhere ; the man executes the performance, but woman trains the man. Every effectual person, leaving his mark on the world, is but another Columbus, for whose furnish ing, some Isabella, in the form of his moth er, lays down her Jewelry, her vaufties, her comfort. Above all, let no man practice on wo man the perpetual aud shameless fals- liood of pretended admiration and acting contempt. Let them not exhaust their kiudness in adoring her person, and ask in return the humilia tion of her soul.— Let them not assent to her every highopin ion, asifshe were uot strong enough to main tain it against opposition ; nor j’et manu facture opinion for her, and force it on her lips by dictation. Let them not crucify her motioni, nor ridicule her frailty, nor crush-tier individuality, nor insult her de pendence, nor play mean jests upon her honor in convivial companies, nor bandy auclean doubts of her, as a wretched sub stitute for wit; nor whisper vulgar suspicion of her purity, which, as compared with their own, is like the imaculate whiteness of angels. Let them multiply her social advantages—enhance her dignity, minis ter to her intelligence, and by manly gentleness, be the champions of her geni us, the friends of her fortunes, and tbe equals, if they can, of her heart—Rec. F. D. Huntington.. The Panic at Manassas. A great deal has been said in the nor thern papers, remarks the Richmond Whig, about the cause of tbe panic and stampede of the Grand Army. One as cribed it to a fat “lieutenant,” who got scared before be was hurt; another, to the teamsters in the rear ; another, to tho regu lars, driving their ammunition wagons fu- iiously through tho voluuteers ; another, to the wonderful forecast of the soldiers, who being enabled by a kind Providence to foresee that the “rccomiiossauce in force” would be attended with great loss, with drew iu good time ; another, to tbe arri val of reinforcements to the rebels. This last is the ground assumed by General M’Dowell, in substance, though he does not assert it iu so may words. Others have fallen into this notion ; and it has be come quite prevalent at the south. But, what are the facts l General Por ter, au eye-witness and actor in the whole scene, iu his official report to headquar ters, make no allusion to any re inforce ments. His army, lie thought, had been gradually gaiuiug ground to a certain hour ; but suddenly a murderous lire of musketry aud rifles from our infantry cut down every cannonier and many horses, and routed the Zouaves and Marines, who fled in confusion. The disorder spread, and the rout became general and irrepres sible. We copy tlie following from Gen. Por ter’s report; “The prestige of success had thus far attended the efforts of our inexperienced but gallant troops. The lines of the enemy had been forcibly shifted nearly a mile to tlieir left aud rear; the flags of eight reg iments, though borne somewhat wearily, now pointed towards tbe bill from which tbe disordered masses of rebels bad been has tily retiring. Griffin’s and Pickett's bat teries were ordered by tbe commanding general to the top of the hill on our right, supporting them with the Fire Zouaves and marines, while the Fourteenth enter ed the skirt of the wood on their right to protect that flank, and a column of the Twenty-seventh New York and Elev enth and Fifth Massachusetts, Second Minessota and Sixty-ninty New York, moved up towards the left flank of the batteries ; but so soon as they w r erc in posi tion, aud before the flanking supports had reached them, a murdious Are of musketry and rifles opened at pistol range, and cut down every canonier and a large number of horses. The fire came from some in fantry of the enemy which had been mis taken for our own forces, an officer on the field having stated that it was a regiment sent by Col. Heintzelman to support the batteries. Tlie evanescent courage of the Zouaves prompted them to fire a hundred shots, when they broke and fled, leaving the batteries open to a charge of the enemy’s cavalry, which took place imme diately. The Marines also, in spite of the exertions of their gallant officers, gave way in disorder. The Fourteenth on the right aud tho column on the left hesita tingly retired, with the exception of the Sixty-ninth and Thirty-ninth New York, who nobly stood and returned the fire of the enemy for fifteen minutes. Soon the slopes behind us were swarming with our retreating and disorganized forces, while riderless horses and artillery teams rail furiously through the flying crowd. All further efforts were futile. The words, gesture and threats of our officers were thrown away upon men who had lost all presence of mind, and only longed for absence of body. Some of our noblest aud best officers lost their lives in the trial to rally them upon our first position. The Twenty seventh was the first to rally under tlie command of Major Bartlett, and around it the other regiments engaged aud soon collected their scattered frag ments. The battalion of regulars iu the meantime moved steadily across tlie fields to the right and took tip a position, where it held the entire forces of the rebels iu check until our forces were somewhat rallied. The commanding General then ordered a retreat upon Centreville, at the same time directing me to cover it with the battalion of regulars, the cavalry aud a section of artillery. The rear guard thus organized followed our panic stricken people to Centreville, resisting the attacks of the rebel cavalry and artillery, and saving them from the inevitable destruction which awaited them had not this body been interposed. Bold Soldier Boy.—Au Ohio Captain writes to the Toledo Blade a letter about the battle, from which we make the follow ir.g extract : About 1 o’clock there was a short cessa tion of hostilities—the firing was only heard iu the distance. Our brigade had been wrestling for several hours with op posing forces, principally Virginians, and were ensconced in thickets on each side of a field of no great dimensions. We occupied the Northern slope of a hill of considerable elevation, and also tlie top of the bill, whilst the enemy held the South ern slope. Suddenly we observed to emerge from the opposing ranks a boy, apparently sixteen or seventeen years of age, armed with a musket and pistols.— He double'quicked to tbe top of the bill, witbin sixty or eighty yards of our places of concealment saw a an officer on horse back, took deliberate aim at him, fired, the officer fell, mortally wounded. About the same time my company of eighty men fired at him, and he fell, 1 supposed, pierced by many balls. What was my surprise to see this proud and over-brave boy rise from the ground, only slightly wounded, seize bis musket, wave his cap in triumph iu onr faces, aud rejoin his comrades, one of whom had followed him, I suppose, to bring him back. Such fear lessness I never saw before. An Alarmed Family.—A family in Boston were alarmed for three nights in succession by the ringing of the bells all in the house after midnight. A thorough in vestigation showed that there was a box in the corner of the cellar, through which the water pipe, gass pipe, and bell wires passed iu close proximity to each other. On examining the box, the rats, it was found, had gnawed a hole through the top, and that these vermin, in dropping through the bole, struck upon the hell wires, caus ing every bell in the house to ring. Tbe geutleman’s theory is that, on scrambling out of the box; tbe rats agaiu came in Cou tact with tbe wires, causing a^ repiiition of tbe mysterious bell ringing. In France, love is a comedy; in England, a trag edy ; in Italy, an opera; in Germany a melo-dra Lost Child After Font Years Absence Keeorered. An incident occurred yesterday in the Eastern district police station, of a very affecting and interesting character. About three o’clock in the afternoon, Mr. John W. Frank was passing along Gouch, near Bethel street, when a boy about tea years of age met him aud asked for a penny. Mr Frank handed the boy teu cents, but as be did so, thought he recoguized the child, aud asked his name, when he replied tbac it was Debring, After some further con versation, Mr. Frauk became convinced that the boy was no other than the lost son of a widowed friend of bis, and with this impression lie took him by the hand aud conducted him to the Eastern police station, when he informed the officers in charge of his suspicion. Au officer was dispatched for Mrs. Debring, who hasten ed to the station. Ou entering and ob serving the child she uttered a shriek, sprang towards him and clasped him in her arms, kissing him passionately, while the tears gushed from her eyes. The boy stood amazed, not exhibiting tlie slightest recognition. The mother continued her caresses, at the same time asking him if he did not re member her, aud interred to incidents to awaken a remembcrance of his home. Iu a few miuutes the boy’s countenance changed, tears started from liis eyes, and then throwing his arms around his moth ers neck, he exclaimed, “You arc my moth er.” On the recognition, Mrs. Debring appeared to he wild with joy. She wept, laughed, clasped her boy to her breast, and then prayed. Tlie scene was one which those who^witnessed it will ever re member, aud which awakened within a sympathy, which found expresion in tears. When about six years of age, the boy waudered from bis home, and after dili gent search the mother came to the con clusion that he was drowned, and for years mourned his death. Tbe boy states that he had been living witb many different families, who kept him to run errands and to do light work, but lately lie has bad no home, and was compelled to beg during the day, and the money which lie collec ted he gave to a German family, who gave him in return lodgings aud food. Baltimore Exchange. Training Artillery Horses.—The F01 tress Monroe correspondent of the New York Commercial says : It requires considerable time to mount the guns properly for an advancing army, supply them with trained horses, and es pecially the right kind of harness. The horse is a curious, shy, iuquisitve animal, and when first taken from the stable or pasture for the strategic purpose of war, demands to be handled with great care and patience. He must be gradually ac customed to the sudden and marked change in his status—the gleam of arm3, the roll of drums, the flaunting of banners, the flash, the smoke and the roar of cannon. It is remarkable, however, that, when the practical war horses is thus drilled and disciplined, his proficiency in wheeling with guns and caissons, at the critical mo ment of limbering and uulimbering Tight artillery, is wounderful. Without a word, without a touch, without a sign from man, he wheels, advances and retreats, with al most miraculous rapidity-at times compel ling riders and gunners to spring to keep their saddles, or escape his lightning.like evolutions. Such war horses as these- are intended to have been practicing before the win dow of your correspondent on parade ground of the Fortress this morning.— Some few of the more recent commers reared and sprang a little at the first flash es and thunder of the cannon, while oth ers stood as firm as the adjacent trees, and looked on as calmly as if they were feed ing from a rack. A't the close of the firing some of them were march to the muzzle of the still hot and smoking gnu, and made to put their nostrils close to the metal, feel the heat and inhale the smell of the powder. They are thus taught to become on familiar terms with their new and strange acquaintance and fellow-sol dier, to measure his length with their eyes, and feel that his touch at their ri der’s command, is rendered harmless. Affecting Incident.— The Baltimore correspondent of the New York Dug Book relates the following : A lady of this city, of strong Southern feelings, was iu Washington at the time of the Bull Run battle. Seeing the citi zens aud soldiers rushing to and fro, she went out in the street to learn the particu lars of the fight. Seeing a soldier lean ing against a post, tired and suffering, her, warm heart was affected by the sight, and she approached him and inquired about the battle. The poor fellow, a fine look ing young man, said to her, “Madame, we have had a terrible time, we Lave been beateu ; my two brothers were shot down alongside of me—and how shall I tell my poor mother'/” The poor fellow here burst into tears, aud was about to wipe bis face on his old tattered and rusty Jack et, when the lady gave him her handker chief and told him to keep it as a token from a Southerner. The unfortunate fel low was deeply affected, and as she was about to leave, lie said. “God bless you, madam ; you are the first one who lias spoken a kind ^word to me since I left home.” From tlie Montgomery Mail. Stray ThoogliU. To dread no eye, and to suspect no tongue is the great prerogative of virtue. But guilt has always its horrors aud so licitude, and to make it still more shame ful and detestable, it is doomed to stand in awe of those to whom nothing conld give influence or nought.but the power of betraying. Never retaliate au injury even on an enemy. Shun delays, they breed remorse. Mine honor is my life, take honor from me and my life is done. Oh, conscience ! conscience ! means most faithful friend. Him canst thou comfort, ease, relieve, defend. Happiness is iu taste, aud not in thing; and it is Ly having what we love that we are happy, not by having what others find agreeable. Let us not look upon man as he is, but as he ought to be. « The retailer of a slander is as bad as the originator. The way of living—living more for oth ers than yourself; and do not think that the end of talent is to make every body miserable about you. He is tbe best phi losopher who -wipes away most tears.
