conn BIN. FRIDAY, BBPTKMBKK fi, IH6 liuu, M J. I'mioni. Wo bad tbo pleasure on yesterday, <4 irelcoui- Id ft home, our worthy rop tentative Iron. Ibo Confederate Congress, which has jukt closed Its recent session in Richmond. JI is In (Inc. health and good spirits, and gives a fine account of the condition of onr affairs both in the civil aud military departments of the Government. Hav* ing observed, during his absence, the movement# in the State, touching the Gubernatorial Con vention, and the probabilities of an excited can vast, he aadherir.es us to my that he does not de sire to add to the political confusion by the use or his name for the office of Governor, and there fore withdraws tbe same from further considera tion In that connection. He requests us to tender to his friends his highest obligations for the very favorable manner in which (liey have alluded to his name. The Cokvektius.—A large number ol eouu ties have already elected delegates to the State Convention, which is to aasetuble at Milledgu ville on the 11th inst.; in several others, melt ings hove been called for tbo purpose, and in all steps should bo immediately taken to bo repre sented. Let it be remembered that this is to bo u Convention of the people , and is Intended to defeat the scheuioa of designing politicians sn3 selfish cliques. Care should be taken, therefore, in selecting delegates, to choose only such men, without respect to past party predilections, as the people have confidence in, and who will carry out the object of the Convention. A candidate for Governor, as well as Eleriu ral candidates, will I* nominated ; and, we again repeat, the people of the 8 ate should see to it, that they are fully and ably represented in the approaching Convention. —Anyuita Conttitu tionahtt. The New York Tribune, of the 2eth ult., says “that advices from our Minister In London indicate a certain, if not speedy, recognition of the “Confederate States” as an independent Pow er by the British Government. But there is in this nothing to surprise <>r discourage. “The tendencies of the British Government have not been a secret. Tba success or failure of the Jeff. Davis rebellion depends on its power at home, not on the favor with whioh It may be regarded abroad. “A recognition by Ureal Britain would, doubt leas, give Itw certain degree of moral support, but would neither feed nor clothe Its armies.— Waits little, and we may havo news to sum! abroad that will neutralise tbo Influences cf that on which the British Ministry is how disposed to act. We expect no favor from Kurope, and have ■ought none.” Col. Jobes or tub 4th Alabama. Our readers all recollect the distinguished gallantry and efficient services us the 4th Alabama regi ( naant and its bra vs Colonel at the battle of Ma nama. Wo regret to statu that wo have a private let ter from a reliable source, dated at Orange Court House, Va., August .'list, stating that Colonel Jones was at that place, very low, aud but little hopes of his Confcdtrap ‘.th. TJS” The Little Kook True Democrat learns by private letter that tbo Missouri Slate troops under command of Gen.

The letter concludes: “The news from Missouri if bettor And better all the time, the Federalists have scattered to tho woods and are completely routed.” Gbh. Bn ago hot uoibu to Virginia— A friend, says the Savannah Republican, occupying a high position in tho army at Pensacola, writes us un der date of the 2d inst: “It Is not true, as stated in tho Charleston Mercury, that Gen Bragg is going to Virgiuia. Gen. Anderson has arrived, hut al tho successor of Gen. Walker, not Uou. llrg K . We ure cer tain that the Utter will not leave his laithfu* soldiers.” Companies from Umctgte. The last Lumber of the Southern Recorder contains a table showing the number of voters, the number of companies, and also the number of volunteers in tho Confederate army, from each county iu Georgia. lu that table Muncogee and Chatham counties are each credited with eleven companies,nr IHHi men- the largest number fur nished by any county in the Stale. We propone to place within the reach of'our ootemporary tho means of rectifying its table with respect to Mu* cogeo. The following companies from thi - coun IV have been mustered into the Confederate ser vice • Colmubu-; Guards -I’apt. Kills. City Light Guards—Capt. Colquitt. Soqthern Guards, Cos. D.- Capt.

A special meeting of the Union Democratic Convention was held yesterduy afternoon. The meeting was a private one, but enough trsuspir ed to show that its object was to see how funds could be raised to atriat iu the cotupictiuu of some of the regiments bow in and about the city. No other business was transacted, and after a short session the meeting adjourned. The Cincinnati Enquirer has the follow ing tight papers for deserters from Lincoln's ar ray : Hereafter all deserters from the army are to be arrested by the polioe or eitiaeus, enu tried by oourt martial. In case a cltiren captures n de serter, he will receive the sum of fciu, which will he deducted from the pay of the soldier. Arkv of this Potomac.—Wo have (*eja the Savannah Republican of yesterday,) good ground for tho belief that our batteries wore opened yf terdsy, or last night# on the deCenr.ee of Wash ington. . Up to the time we wiito no intelligence haa beon received from that qtihlter, and possibly operations hare been postponed, but we feel sere for a period not less than forty-eight hours. Tho Richmond Dispatch of Monday has the following with regard to tho present disposition of our army. “For some days our army under Generals Johnson and Beauregard has been getting into close quarter* with (he enemy. Advanced de tachments have had sharp skirmishing, iu which there ban been a considerable number killed and wounded, (fewer on our side than on that of the enemy,j and we have a few prisoner*. Webave gained several important positions, especially one which is understood to com maud Arlington. The wilt have to make up his mind to gght a wfnoftt battle or retreat across the Poto mac. We may therefore look daily for stirring events. We know wbat cur officers and men can do, and we suppose there is nobody here who doubt* what the result will be when the cxj.eeted collision takes place. JS#** The Loffdod Telegraph, of the UHh uIU says; “To a statement wade iu New York, that our Government ha? conceded the right asserted by the Washington Administration to close the Southern ports by order, wo must givo the most positive denial.

The following extract from a private letter da ted “Monterey, Va.,27ib August,” contains mat ter* of interest to those who have friends in the above regiment • “I learn that tin* b2d Virginia Regiment arc to leave Maunfou to-day for this place; If so, they will arrive on Thursday, and on Friday or Saturday we take up the line •<{ march for Green brier river, near the foot of Cheat Mountain, some eight mile* from the eneu>>’s camp and twenty miles from Huitonaviile, where iiosen crantz m at present.

Considering the enemy had the vautage ground In every respect, I regard thi? as great a victory a* Mnnu?*u? in proportion to the nmu bar engaged.

Min that Lincoln ordered them to bid i at all hazards. Churchill’s regiment covered themselves with glory, though they suffered much. Their loss is ’>2 killed and 147 wounded. The enemy got in un them while they were at breakfast, ana scat teretl them. They did not get together during the battle, but they fought like devil*. From tho position of onr battery we could see the wh>le fight. The Louisiana boys are the iieavicst'fighter* on the ground—-the most per fect sol ut it are devil*.

Stamixpe from Kentucky South.—The Louiaville Courier of the .Hist alt., says : Saturday morning w noticed an immense amount of freight, aud a great rush of people ut rite Nashville depot, all going to the interior, or further South.

The Feeling in .North Carolina. We regret to learn, by a passenger who arrived here this morning, that there are not wanting tho gravest suspicions of treachery attaching to a person with the Confederate forces, who, when the squads were being transferred from Camp Clark to the breastworks at Hattoras, lagged strangely behind, but was not particularly notio ed, be occupying a position which ranked him as a non-combatant. He was not seen again, and it is thought that be may have slipped out in a boat to the enemy and given them luionna tion. He straggled near a signal pole, and may havo made a signal which they understood, to tbe effect that our men were out of ammunition, hut would be reinforced on Thursday, as they would havo been.
