of these writers, when he has to h U y salt, iron

Have they not an abundance of provisions of all
kind3, which they can sell, if they choose, at four

dried peaches and apples, corn, corn meal, flour,
oats, barley, rye, butter, eggs, chickens, beef, tal
low, hides, peas, potatoes, wool, lard, candles,
wood and tanbark, and other saleable pioduce?
Most of them have. Those who have not any-

large quantities, for high prices, to speculators.

In all seriousness, this ‘‘poor mouth,” made by

Corn nnd Colton Statistic*.
"I he Comptroller General in his annual report
this year, as usual has many valuable statistical
facts. In his instructions to the Tax Collectors
in the State he rtquired’them to repoit the num
ber of acres planted in cotton, and also the num
ber planted in corn and other grain. Five coun
ties did not report at all. In the remaining one
hundred and twenty-seven counties, it is reported
that only two hundred and thirty-six thousand
one hundred and ninety-eight acres are planted
in cotton, while four million nine thousand and
eighty acres were planted in corn, and one million
three hundred aud forty nine thousand three hun
dred aud seventeen acres were planted in other
grain. At fourteen bushels to the acre, the Comp
troller General estimates the corn crop this year
in Georgia at fifty-nine million and five hundred
thousand, nearly double what it was in 1649,
which was one of our most fruitful years, and not
withstanding this immense crop, the prospect is
that corn will bear a good price this year, so that
those patriotic farmers who planted corn instead
of cotton will bo rewarded for their labor. It is
true tha[ cotton bears a good price now, but if a
full crop had been made this year, cotton could
not have been sold at any price. Corn always
brings a fair price; the price of cotton depends
upon a thousand contingencies, which no man

Messrs. Editors: In an editorial of your paper
of the 21st iust., headed “A wounded soldier,”
you publish some statements made to you by Mr
J Holtzraan, purporting to say that his relatives

| life, and at th? same time, you make an appeal to
the citizens of this place to assist him. This
statement is a gross imposition upon you and
upon the public; and to correct this impression,
aud only to defend ourselves against so false a
charge, we give the following facts:

This is a grave question, worthy of thoughtful
enquiry. Is the law in question aPrighteous law ?
And if so, would it be wise aud sound policy to re

The origin of the law as it now stands, is obvi
ously traceable to the rash and wicked appeals ot
abolition essayists and tract distributors. But for
this, the law wouid never have been passed. In
the early history of Georgia a similar law was eu-
' acted which was never enforced, but became obso

The Decalouge, thundered from the mouth of

But we must humble ourselves as a people be

Let our slave laws be amended and fixed on

Touching the laws regulating the religious priv

Let the Baptist and Methodist brethren taKe a

And let the smaller bodies of Christians not hold

We are blessed with brave soldiers and skillful
and pious leaders of our armies. The valour of
our soldiers has wrung an unwilling tribute of ad
miration from their Northern foes, aud elicited the
warm sympathies of all civilized Europe: whilst
London and Paris are said to be in a blaze of en

and all will be well. -‘Some trust in horses and

(irn. Bragg's Official Report of the Battle
of Ferry ville.
Richmond, Ya., Oct. 21.—General Bragg’s official
report dated at Bryantsville, Ky., Oet„ 12tu,has been
received here. It says that Gen. Polk commanded
the Confederates at Perrysville, on the 8th inst. The
engagement became general about i o'clock P. M.,
and was continued furiously from that time to dark
—our troops never faltering, never failing iu their
efforts.
For the time engaged it was the severest and most
desperately conte:-ted engaged it within my.knowledge.
Fearfully outnumbered, our troops did not hesitate to
engage the enemy at any odds; and, though checked
at times, they eventually carried every position, and
drove the enemy two miles. We had captured 15
pieces of artillery, by the most daring charges, killed 1
and wounded 2 Brigadier Generals, and a large number
of inferior officers and men--estimated at not less than
4,000. The ground was literally covered with the
enemy's dead and wounded. Our own loss was not
less ttiuu Q/VOO killed. wanKrioJ —

only to be iroc to ourselves and to constitutional free

that it is King—not, a political, bnt commercial King

it.

The followtDg order from Gen. Beauregard
contains a correct statement of the operations iu
the vicinity of Pocotaligo aud Coosawhatchie, ou
Wednesday :
Savannah. Oct. 23. 1862.
By order of G. T. Beauregard—
The Abolitionists attacked, in force, Pocotaligo
and Coosawhatchie yesterday ; they were gsllaut-
ly repulsed to their guuboats at Mackay's Point
and Bee's Creek landing by Col. \V. 8. Walker
commanding the District, and Col. G. P. Harrison
commanding troops sent from here. The enemy-
had come in thirteen traosports and guuboats. The
Charleston Railroad is uninjured. The Abolition
ists left their dead and wounded ou the field. Our
cavalry are in hot pursuit.
G. T. Beavkegaru,
General Commanding
LATER
A despatch from Charleston, received yesterday
afternoon, says -‘the enemy has been driven to his
boats.”
This is very good news and highly creditable
to ilie brave troop* who accomplised tbe feat of
driving back the invaders more ttiau double their
number- Would it not, though, have beeu still
better bad the commanding officer thrown bis
main body between thS iuvaders and their boats
and thus increased tbe chances of their capture ?
VV e know little of the nature of the country, but
such was the real poiuts in the game, provided
circumstances did uot render it impossible.
The train came through from Charleston last even
ing. We learn from a passenger that twenty-one
bodies of dead Y'unkees were brought in and werely-
ing at one of the depots oa the load, awaiting inter
ment. We could hear nothing reliable of the loss ou
our side.
We clip the following editorial information from the
Charleston Courier of yesterday .-
As the train from Savannah to Pocotaligo approach
ed Coosawhatchie, the enemy made signals to the
engineer to stop. The latter paid uo attention to the
signals and determined to run the gauntlet. As lie did
tlie enemy fired, killing Major llarrisou, of the
Kleventh South Carolina lteuim'-ot, tlie fireman ou
the.train, and slightly wounded the engineer.
A telegraph operator with the enemy made stren
uous efforts to open communication, but signally fail
ed.

Marietta, (_ia., 171h, 1662. )
From information iu my possession of an
official character, I am satisfied that the
defences around Savannah, tire not yet
completed. They will be very strong
when completed , and it is believed by
military men, that witli live hundred ad
ditional laborers, we can be ready for the
enemy in thirty days. General Mercer
informs me that lie lacks this number,
aud appeals to me to assist him in procur
ing them.
If the enemy should take Savannah, it
would be made a safe place of refuge for
all slaves who may attempt to leave tlieii
masters and go to the enemy this winter ;
and the planters of the 8tate must los-e a
much larger number of slaves than are now
required to complete all necessary prepar
ations for her defence. Again, it has been
the boast of the people of this State, that
a hostile enemy has occupiod no part of
the soil of Georgia of practical value to
them. It is a point of-pride with them to
take the city, and of both pride and duty
with us to hold it. I cannot doubt that
every patriotic Georgian is ready to make
any sacrifice necesary to defend the city,
as long as one brick remains upon another.
Let her property and her noble citizens
never share the fate of New Orleans, but
let her emulate the example of Vicksburg,
which has been defended, while it has
made a name in history as lasting as the
history of the war itself.
I therefore appeal to each Plauter in the
portion of the State above mentioned,
which, from its location and its large num
ber of slaves, is most deeply interested, to
tender to General Mercer, immediately,
one-tenth of all his working hands. He
will accept only the number needed ; but
as prompt action is necessary, I trust five
thousand, in place of five hundred, will he
tendered in ten days. He only wishes
them for thirty, and will pay for the use of
them reasonable and just compensation.—
Were-no compensation offered, I cannot
doubt the labor would be promptly furnish
ed to finish a work so important, and^fo
nearly completed. Let the proper authori
ties in each county, and especially- the
most wealthy planters, having the largest
number- of slaves, address General Mer
cer, at Savannah* without delay, aud
make the tender. I order no impressment
ofyouv property, but »i*r“**J •*“ cmw "
g.-.j , iu your liberality and your patriot
ism, and know I shall not appeal iu
vain.
I am, very respectfully, &c.,
