There may be others of which we Lave no knowledge. Out of 132 counties, only a few seem not to have furnish ed any companies at all. Besides the Regiment of Regulars commanded by Col. Charles J. Williams, there are several other Regiments not counted in the Table, say Col. Wofford's, Col. Boyd's and Col. H. Cobb’s, together with Col. T. R. R. Cobb’s Legion, consisting in all of not less than 70 or 80 companies, which added to those represented in the Table show above 300 companies, or about 30,000 men from Georgia, now in the field. We shall supply the blanks in our Table, doing the counties justice, as soon as we obtain the ne cessary figures. In the mean time we have given the Table all the accuracy which our present means of information afford, and hope it may prove ac ceptablc to our readers. SECOND BATTALION.

Williams, and has been stationed at I ort Pulaski, and Tybce, until recently, when it was ordered to Virginia by. the Secretary of War. INDEPENDENT REGIMENTS. Under an act of Congress, President Davis has accepted a number of companies from Georgia, which have been formed into Regiments. The organization of the latter has not been reported to the State Executive, and therefore the officers cannot he ascertained from the Adjutant General’s of fice. The Regiments are generally known, however, as Bartow’s, Conner’s, McLaws’, Printup’s and Ector’s, the latter being called the Toombs Regiment. In addition to these, there will soon be in the field, T. R. R. Cobb’s Legion, Gov. Cobb’s Regiment, and several others now in process of forma tion. Gen. Phillips’ Brigade has been several weeks in camp of instruction near Marietta, and is soon to receive marching orders. All these show a force of about 25,000 men which Georgia has fur nished the Confederate States, and more than double this number can be raised when necessary. The roll of officers in this Table is believed to be accurate; but it is possible that a few errors may be found where the examination was so extensive, amid entries made with great rapidity, to keep the record of commissions issued since the war commenced. If any errors are perceived, they will of course be corrected on notice of the fact. Officers are sometimes changed by promotion, which cir cumstance is not always notified to the Executive, * Medical College of Georgia. AT AUGUSTA.

President. W ILL resume exercises on the 25th of SEP TEMBER next. An efficient corps of seven Ladies and Gentlemen will comprise the Faculty, representing, as far as practicable, every Protestant denomination of Cliristiatis. This Institution appeals to the patriotism and be nevolence, as well as interest, of the Southern pub lic for its support. The proceeds,beyond current expenses, for the next Collegiate year, will be tendered by the Pres ident to the Treasury Department of the Confeder ate States. Orphans of deceased, and daughters of indigent Masons, will, as heretofore, continue to receive gra tuitous tuition. Cheapness to patrons, and thoroughness to pu pils. are aimed at in the system proposed to be pur sued. No pains or expense will be spared to secure the best talent for the. various Departments, to be ex clusively selected from among Southerners. A Preparatory Department is attached to the Col- lege, where particular attention will be given to laying well the foundations of education, as abso lutely necessary to furtkersuccessful advancement. The useful, the practical, and the ornamental, will be sought to be blended and developed through out the whole regime of the Institution. The moral and religious culture of pupils will be scrupulously kept in view. French and Spanish will be taught by a lady perfectly conversant w ith both of these languages. The Musical Department will he conducted by a gentleman, assisted by an accomplished lady, both possessing experience and genius to an eminent degree, and occupying tine social positions. The late President resigning, to attend to private affairs, unites with the retired Vice-President, and the Trustees, in commending the Institution, un der its present direction, to the public confidence. The President is honored with most complimen tary credentials from Bishop G. F. Pierce, lions. Joseph H. Lumpkin, T. R.R. Cobb, and Col. Win. H. Jackson, President of the Board of Trustees of the Georgia University. Covington, the location of the College, is pleas ant and healthy. Board can be obtained from $14 to $15 per month. $12 to $14 in ordinary times. By order of the Presideutial Board. JOHN HARRIS, D-G. M., President of the Board. W. W. Clarke, Secretary.

Lefort was a man some forty years old, with an income of fifteen thousand francs, fond of pictures, and painting landscapes himself in a very remarkable manner. He lived in rue de Provence, in an apartment in the third story, where he was often vis ited by his friend, Decamps, the distin guished painter, who has recently died in Paris, who was very fond of Lefort, and of sitting to talk in his rooms. They passed long evenings in chatting and smoking to gether before and open window, which overlooked the vast gardens of the Hotel Lafittc and the Hotel Ilothchild. One day Lefort arrived at the cafe with a long face and an air of great dissatisfac tion. “What is the rnatfer l” said Decamps. “The matter is, I am wretched at hav ing to move from our apartment.” “Are you going to leave it ?” v “Yes ; my landlord wanted to raise my rent. I resisted ; be insisted. I grew an gry and gave up the rooms. I am wretch ed now. You were so fond of these rooms.” “Ah, well, take back your lease.” “You are right; I will take it back.” The next day Lefort had still the long face and the grieved air of this previous day. He had wished to resume his lease. But it was too late. The apartment was let for a term of nine years. Lefort must move in the month of Octo ber. His landlord informed him, however, in an obliging manner, that tbe person who was to succeed him would not arrive from the country until the middle of No vember, and that he had all that time to seek an apartment to suit him : only Le fort must leave empty a part of the suit of rooms to store the furniture of his sue-* cessor. Lefort consented to this joyfully, and the furniture of the new tenaut was brought in. Meantime Decamps, who saw him still so sorrowful at having to quit his rooms, said to him one day ; “There is, perhaps, some way to arrange with your new successor.” “I do not know him, and don’t wish to try to make a bargain.” “Show me his furniture,” said Decamps, “and I can guess what sort of a man he is.” Lefort conducted Decamps into tke rooms where the furniture of the new ten ant was placed. “Hum, hum,” said Decamps, on casting his eyes over the articles ; “all this is sim ple, comfortable and good taste; furniture for an income of twenty thousand francs, lately removed. It is the right sort of man—or rather it is a woman : here is wo man’s furniture, this toilet, this wash-table, this book-stand of inlaid work.” “But the husband 1” “I don’t see any husband in the matter; no masculine furniture—a single bed ; no bureau; we only want to know if she is a widow, a young girl, an old maid.” “How shall we find out that l” He opened the toilet table. There was a small comb, to which was attached two magnificent hairs of golden blond. “Good, this hair does not belong to an old woman ; let us look further.” He per ceived a portrait turned against the wall. He turned the canvass. It was the por trait of a woman-—blond, very p :etty, pain ted in 1825, by Horscut. “It is the portrait of the lady,” 6aid De camps. “It is the portrait of a married wo man , the dress indicates it. This woman was about twenty when it was painted.— She must be still very pretty. She is an intelligent woman, loving art, I judge, by the selection of the hooks in this library, by the music ou the piano. My friend, you will not quit your apartment.” “I must ask this lady to give it up to me, then.” “No, you must ask her to share it with you. You must marry her.” “You are mad, you are laughing at me.” “I speak very seriously. Your furniture seems made to go with that of the lady. The suit of rooms is too large for oue of you alone ; it is exactly what is w anted for you two.” “But I dont wish to marry.” “You are wrong. You are forty years old ; this lady suits you in every respect. She pleases me, this woman, and I wish you to marry her. Le me manage.” Lefort gave him leave. When tbe lady came from the country she was surprised to find her rooms occupied and her furni ture doubled. Decamps awaited her.— He showed the lady the rooms, arrauged by himself, and the portrait of Lefort hung up opposite her own, “See, madame,” said he, “what wonder ful harmony between these articles of fur niture. See bow well the portrait match es your own. It is certainly tbe portrait of the man who should ho your husband.” The lady was sensible and kind. She was not angry, and laughed heartily, and as he w as an intelligent man, dis tinge, a very good fellow, willi a suitable fortune, he was accepted. He married the widow, and did not leave the rooms. He never left them until last year at the deatli of his wife, whom lie adored, and whom he rendered happy till the last mo ment. Decamps remained their friend, and both, whenever they saw him, thank ed him for having made the marriage of their furniture. General Jackson and General Lee.— From a letter in the Richmond Examiner, addressed by General Henry R. Jackson to the editor, we infer there is to he still more trouble arnoDg the leaders of our ar mies in western Virginia, It seetns the Examiner referred to the official dispatch from General Lee with regard to his Cheat Moutain movement, in which it was stated that his (Lee’s) plan of operations “was dis concerted by the column led by General Jackson, to attack the enemy’s position on Cheat Mountain”; that ou approaching the enemy’s position, Gen Jackson found It “defended by a stockade lort,” where upon his column was “withdrawn.” General Jackson positively denies the truth of these several statements and adds: “But it is altogether true that the col umn led by me discharged to the last letter the duty assigned it in the “ydan of opera tions:" that it proceeded successful, though with difficulty and exposure, to tbe position it was ordered to take, driving in the pick ets and outposts of tho enemy, of whom it killed and wounded a considerable nura her, and, that, for three days and nights, it continued to hold that position, in the immediate presence of tbe enemy, anil did not leave it until withdrawn by me in obedience to an order from Gen. Lee him self.” It does not appear, from the Examiner'* statement of the contents of the dispatch, that General Lee designed to reflect, in the slightest degree, upon General Jack- son ; to the contrary be seems to have re garded the latter's movement as the re sult of necessity. The variance, however, as to facts, we fear will lead to a rupture. fSavannah Republican. [From the Nashville American.] Tbe Commercial and Financial Independence of the Confederate States. Editors Union and American : The po litical independence of the Confederate Slates is an accomplished fact. Their re cognition by the United States, England and France would not make tbe result more certaiu or irreversible. Sooner or later such a recognition will be made ; but it is not enough that we become politi cally independent of the Northern Gov ernment—our whole interest will not be seemed until our commercial and financial independence is full and permanently es tablished. You were kind enough, a few days ago, to allow me space in your paper for cer tain observations on the sovereignty of the States. My object in that paper was to show our entire right to political inde pendence. I now asked you to repeat your kindness and allow me room to give some views that I entertain as to the Com mercial and Financial Independence of the Confederate States. The force of habit has constituted tbe chief obstacle to our political independence —the habit of cherishing for the Union a cordial and immovable attachment,oi think ing and speaking of it as a palladium of our political safety and prosperity, and of discountenancing whatever might suggest even a suspicion that it could in any event be abandoned. This habit had acquired all the strength of second nature, and nev er could have been changed except after a long train of abuses and usurpations, pur suing invariably the samo object of sec tional domination, and tending ine vitably to absolute despotism. Look ing to its aggregate results, it is diffi cult to overestimate the value of the Union; but looking to its results, iu detail, it is readily such that certaiu positions of tbe United States have enjoyed tbe Lion’s share of its benefits. It is worse than that —certain portions have grown rich and powerful by tiading upon the capital pro duced by other parties. Tho whole truth is still worse—certain portions have for years been little more than cc-lonial de pendencies of other portions, so far, at least, as their commercial and financial in terests have been concerned. In the pro gress of this communication each one of these positions will be fully established. The growth of the commerce of our country, from 1764, when it was interrupt ed by the growing difficulties between the colonies and the mother country, to the present time, furnishes the strongest possi ble view of tbe prosperity of the Union as a whole. The growth is exhibited by the following figures : Imports. Exports In 1764 $ 5,502,860 $ 11,203,800 In 1860 362,166,254 373,189,274 In the fiscal year, ending June 30, I860, the amount of our surplus products of all kinds, exported to foreign countries and exchanged for their products, was three liuudred and seventy millions of dollars. -The amount of foreign products so exchanged for was three hundred and. sixty two millions. As the trade between nations cousists of an exchange of simple products, it is apparent that tbe-amount of our surplus products for export furnishes tbe best test of onr national prosperity.— But this general exhibit of our wonderful prosperity as a nation furnishes but an in adequate view of tbe real prosperity of tbe different portions of the nation. The account must he stated between the two sections iu order to have a correct view of the subject. The exports of the Northern and Southern States stand thus : Exports of Northern products $ 97,346,973 Exports of Southern products 218,896,450 Exports of Gold and Silver Coin 26.033,578 Exports of Gold aud Silver Bullion.. 30,913,173 Total exports for 1860 $373,183,274 Viewing the North and South as two partners embarked in a forcigu trade, it ap pears that whilst the North is twice as nu merous as the South, yet the South famish es more than twice the capital of the con cern. These exports are carried abroad and exchanged for goods, wares and merchan dise, which constituted onr imports. Iu 1SG0 they amounted to §262,166,254, Of this amount the official tables show that there was imported: Into Southern Ports $ 40.585,368 Into Northern Ports 321,580,886 Here is a great fact that ought to arrest Southern attention. Although the Booth produces for exportation, and actually ex ports from her ports, largely over two hun dred millions of dollars worth of produce, yet of the goods for which they are ex changed abroad, less than one fifth of the amount comes hack through our own ports —the residue comes back through North ern ports. But it must be borne in mind that whilst the South exports from her own ports largely over two hundred millions worth of produce, she does not export this product in Southern vessels. Six-sevenths of these exports go abroad in Northern ves sels, thus furnishing to Northern capital, vestage in tonnage, the ronnd profit of twenty millions a year, made for freighting Southern produce to foreign markets.— Such has been our dependence on the North for the transportation of onr surplus products to foreign markets. I do not write this as a subject for com plaint against the North. It is legitimate for her capitalists to build vessels and te engage in carrying onr products to market. But when we become commercially inde pendent, we shall have to provide onr own means of transportation if we maintain that independence. Nor do I note the fact that one hnndredl and seventy eight millions ot the goods imported iu exchange for Southern pro ducts are brought to us through Northern ports, for the purpose of making it tbe sub ject of complaiht against tho North. The fact, however, is important, in-as-much as it shows how dependent we have hereto fore been upon tbe North for most of tbe necessaries and luxnries for which oar pro ducts have been engaged. We h«v» been content to tarnish tbe products, and then to depend upon Northern capita) and en terprise for converting it into tbe goods which we require in exchange. We csjj»
