JL McDowell late of B S«d c C0^' OWELLt , — (MB**) Nov. 3d, 1862. A E£orrid &2urder. On Saturday niglit last Confederate States Marshal for Georgia, Thomas L. Ross, was shot dead at the Kennessaw House in Marietta. It appears that four young men, all citizens of Atlanta, went to Mariet ta to have asp ree. (So much for the Leg islature allowing men license to keep open murder pens.) After getting drunk enough, they went into the ho tel and raised a difficulty with* the pro prietor. One of the party, Dick LJam- mond. cut the hotel man severely in seven places. During the fight Mr. Ross, who was a most excellent officer, as well as a clever gentleman, com manded the peace, when some one ol the party put out the light, and Joe Harrison put a pistol close to the bo dy of Air. Ross and shot him dead. The party attempted to escape, but being too drunk to effect it, they were all arrested and brought to jail. This party consists of four young men—Ave Harrison, Dick Hammond, Dick Stegall, and Jimmy Loyd, and are what people call “fast young men” —all of them, except, perhaps, Ste gall were members of the Gate City Guards. We do not know where Harrison came from. The first we ever knew of him, was his arrest and confinement in jail here several vears ago for the murder of young Hammond, a brother of Dick. We believe lie was acquitted. He then went to Texas, where he kill ed a man in cold blood and then re turned to this place, where he lias cut and shot a number of men. Since serv ing out his twelve mouths in the army, he lias been here foliowin2L_fij.S„,D nnr, Handsome, pleasant countenanced man, with a smile always on his face— but the most dangerous and reckless man in the city. Hammond is the son of our highly respectable citizen, Col. A. W. Ham mond. He is a hat! boy, and has been in several ugly fighting and shooting scrapes since his return from the army. He was very quarrelsome when in liquor, and associated with rowdies. Stegall we know but little about, except that he was a gambler, and always with this clan of bad, fast boys. Loyd is a soil of late James Loyd, who was many years proprietor of the Washington Hall. He is naturally a clever boy, but by corrupt associations, lias become identified with this danger ous company, and has been in several serious scrapes. He has a fine proper ty, a young wife, and clever family relations ; still lie persisted in tying on to bis evil associates. All these young men are good look ing, and have capacity for any kind of useful business. But from idleness— not being put to any useful employ ment by their fatliei s, they first learn ed billiards, then cards, then to drink liquor and iiight, and finally to commit unprovoked murder. What a sad lesson to fathers who are raising up boys in idleness, and what a reproof to our Legislature lor coun tenancing licensed dram shops.—Con federacy ( Jt/i. We are indebted to Mr. Wm. Crutch field, of Goochland Court House, for the following details and receipt for tanning leather. If. in -jr* «j»rfpet- K . -..igtole, JNlr. G. will take great pleas ure in affording any additional informa tion. The true mode for farmers to adopt, is for each i e gliborhood, consisting of from three to six, to combine, construct the vats and divide the labor among them selves. They will make as good leather as they now get, if not better, and they will get double the quantity they now r re ceive from the tanners: Tanning Leather.—Pure water vat six feet square, four feet deep. Lime water vat—same. Vat for bark four feet wide, four deep and eight long. Soak hides till soft in pure water—from five to seven days -then tlesli on beam. Beam for breaking the hides six feet long—a log, two feet in diameter, split in two—-underneath hollowed out for prop, to raise or depress. In the process of breaking, use a knife two feet long with shanks for handles—knife little rounding. As soon as the flesh is taken off, (one hand will flesh a dozen hides a day,) the hides are put in the lime vat—weak solu tion-one bushel lime—first slacked. The vat not quite full of water. IBdes to be taken out every other day to air, and re placed smooth. Plunge or stir vat every time the hides are drawn. An iron hook, like ice hooks, to draw the hides. As soon as hair will slip, throw hides over beam, hair s'de up, and rub with fleshing knife. The hair off, the hides are put hack in vat of pure water, and to re main there a day or two—then throw a- cross the beam again, and with same flesh ing knife, work out all the lime and re maining flesh. One hand will tlesli oOjiides a day. The process of bating may be omitted in tanning coarse leather. Take the hides as clean as possible to tire bark vat. At first one bushel of bark, pounded or ground—this weak solution to continue two days—and giadually strengthened by addition of bark, say one bushel daily. Keep it in two weeks; hand ling and strengthening liquor. Then clean out vat, taking out all the bark. Throw in pounded bark—put down one hide—cover that inch thick with bark, and so oneach hide. Let in water and let it remain a month. Again clean out vat, reverse hides and repeat operation—and let this remain a month. Again clean out vat and repeat operation—and remain another month. (Chestnut oak 1 ark the best—tho’ the Spanish or black oak good.) After 3d month the hide being tanned, is taken out and hung upon p'des. This is sole leather without further labor. That intended for upper leather, half dry, is oiled on the grain or hair side with a mop. Reverse side, and‘ grease heavily or. flesh side, Y pound tallow -and \ pint train oil to a side mixed. This mixture is prepared thus: melt the tallow slowly ar.d take same quantity of oil mixed and stir red in—after it becomes cool, is ready for use. Then hang the hides in shade till dry.-- Richm.

Mr. Norwood proposed an amend ment, that the amount be received in bonds provided the Secretary of the Treasury will receive them in dues for Georgia to the Government. Mr. Bigham urged the importance of aiding the Government, in every way in preserving its credit, and in preventing as far as possible the inflation of the currency. If ive receive the Bonds of the Confed erate States, hearing 8 per cent interest, and issue State Treasury notes, we save the interest. prevt ously passed tho House.

The preference for the Treasury notes is an endorsment, and not an attack on the credit of the government. He therefore sustained the resolution as amended by Mr. Hook. Mr. Whittle reviewed the financial pol icy of the Government, in funding its indebtedness*. Mr. Lawson argued tbat we* do not diminish the redundancy of the currency, hut simply changed it by refusing to take Treasury notes. It is tlie province of the State and of the Confederate States, each for itself, to protect their own credit. Mr. Render sustained Mr. Whittle’s amendment. Mr. Smith thought the States should co operate with the Confederate Government in sustaining its currency. He regarded it a fatal blow at the credit of tlie Govern ment to refuse to receive her bonds. Mr. Norwood opposed the resolution.

I anticipated that —”“ ,J be the r**.- 1, » 1 raced it firmly be- vuuse 1 was honest in my conviction of duty and public policy; but tbe General Assembly of Georgia has thought proper to assign me the position of Beuator in the Congress of tlie Confederate States.— H Iiilst I question the wisdom of their choice I should he untrue to tlie feelings ot my heart il I were to suppress my sense of gratitude for this distinguished evi- dence of public confidence. I neither dc- sueo nor expected the senatorial office; but it would be uncaudid to say that my election is not a source of personal grati fication ; since it makes me the recipient ot a compliment ot which any man, under the circumstances,, ought to be proud-— therefore, in language as sincere as it is simple, I thank the General Assembly for tbe honor conferred upon me lt is well known tbat 1 opposed the secession of Georgia. Not that I doubted the right of secession, for I always main tained it and I maintain it still ; [ap plausej but from reasons of policy only. I desired the co operation of the slave States iu an honest and earnest effort to maintain our rights in the L ition if possi ble, and defend them out of the Union if necessary. | Cheers.] I believed that the preservation of the Union was an object worthy of patriotic desire, and an earnest effort by the united South for its accomplishment. I had hope of success—at all events I thought the ex periment ought to be made. My bumble counsels were over-ruled.— Georgia, as she bad the right to do, with drew’ from tbe L nion and resumed her separate independence, and, from that hour, I resolved that her fate should be my fate ; that her people were my people, anil that where they might he buried there would I be buried also. [Cheers.j The ship is yet fast to its moorings : the pas sengers and cargo on board are ready for the voyage ; the sky Jooks stormy ; the capitain, hesitating to sail, submits the question to the passengers, and by a large majority they vote in the affirmative.— Her cables are loosed and her sheets are given to the winds. Anon, a storm springs up, the ocean is lashed into fury, the vessel trembles and creaks from stem to stern—she springs a leak, anti the cry is heard, ‘to the pumps 1 to the pumps!’ M iiat would you think of that man who woiihl turn a deaf ear to the call because he had voted agaii>6t the embarkation ? 1 he indgnant passengers would hurl him into the boding deep to struggle and per ish in its billo.ved wrath. And so say I Georgia lay in port dissatisfied, chargined, enraged. I lie question was whether she should loose her cables and trust her fate to the winds and waves. I and many others, as true patriots as ever trod her decks, said : No, don’t! the storm cloud is visible, let ns pause and see if it will be dispersed, or whether w e ma\ not avert its threatened fury. But the majority said cut loose, and give her to the winds and the waves; and now the storm is up, the ocean is lashed into anger, the billow's beat and the thunders peal around her, and theory is heard from all quarters,‘to the pumps, to the pumps!’ and I say woe betide that recreant son who will turn a deaf ear to the thrillin [Cheers.] I here is work to do—bloody rvork— work for brawn and brain—W’ork for all. Let every man perform his part to bring our bark into calm waters and a sunny port.. It’s freighted with the lives, the happiness and the liberties of eight mil lions of freemen ; the highest interests ot human civilization, and the last hope of re publican liberty* Let us have courage equal to the crisis.; fortitude commensu rate with trial, and faith strong as the bonds of duty. Our country, fellow-citizens, is scour ged by ;i w ar that has no parallel, perhaps, in the annals of history. It is unparalleled in tlie vast extent of territory over which it spreads its pall of fiie ; in its sacrifices of I lood and treasure ; the incalculable in terests involved ; and it! ;ti influence upon the condition of the world ; reaching eve ry branch of industry and capital, it affects universal commerce. Affecting as it does the precious principles of free government, the fate, of republican liberty is suspended upon the issue. For the present my post of service will be in the Confederate Senate. I feel hum bled under a sense of tlie grave responsi bility. Who is equal to it in this perilous hour of our country’s fate I “Fools lush in where angels fear to tread ;” and as for me, I would have rejoiced had the burden been thrown upon some one more able to bear it. I have spoken of the condition of our country, under the figure of storms.— summons. ! We gaze with awe upon the tempest'as it 5 uproots the forest, shakes the adamantine | hills/ and fills the vault abo\ e with tbe echo of its thunders. We are elevated an.l inspired by the sublimity of the scene.— 5 But I am almost overwhe nsed with the I lnagiui ude, and terror, and wrath, and ; | carnage of this revolution. It seems re sistless as ihe tempest and w ay be des». tilled to shake the nations like an tarth- quake. YV hat can I do ; to feeble and short-sighted; to stay its desolatingmarch, or temper the fury, or guide the sweep of its terrific wing ? But the post ot duty has been assigned, and in the fear of God, I mist, a proper appreciation of the re sponaibility, 1 will go and do the best I can. [Cheers-[ Why such a war as this? What have we done to the North ! M hen did we ev er wrong her people? V\ hv then ;ne mr gallant men slain in battle, our soil inva ded, our seaports beleaguered, our towns and homes thieatetied with fiie n:*d • ■< latior,, our social and domestic instiiirtions imperiled, and tlie people of these Confed erate States spujght to t e subjugated .? It is because we assert and maintain tht great American doctrine that Government derives its just powers tiom the •oosenr ol tlie govered, ami that it *s *iie i gbi * i the people, when it becomes ut sfrucitvg ot the ends foi which it was ordained, to throw it off and erect new safeguards lor the preservation of tlirir liberties. l be Federal Government at TI a’sliiugton ig nores these cardinal principles ot its own Constitution, substitutes those of despot ism iti their stead, and seeks to force them upon us by the bayonet and sword. We stand where our fathers stood in ’76— they, where Great Britain stood, except that their attitude is more odious, because, false to a common and renowned ance^tiy and treacherous to the Constitution which they profess to revere. But our fathers triumphed, and if true to ourselves, under the blessing of Heaven, we may hope to triumph also. To insure success, we must have a clear conception of the object to be attained. This underlies all the interests involved. If is primary and paramount. YV ithout it, it becomes an aimless contest, and at eve ry step we shall be bewildered by increas ing confusion, and fail in tbat concentra tion of »>no»-gte» which Is Indispensable to our cause. YVhat then is the object to bo attained ? Certainly not to prove that ours are more brave aud more skillful in the use of weapons of war than the Federal armies. Certainly not to conquer the North, by confiscating their property*, des olating their homes, destroying their peo ple, and uprooting their institutions. We would do them no harm, if they would let us alone. We are w illing to hold them, as we do the rest of mankind, enemies in war; in peace, friends. YVhat then, let me repeat, is the object we seek to accom plish ? It is twofold ; first, to achieve our independence, and finally to establish a good government for ourselves aud our posterity. The one must be won chiefly by the sword ; the other must he the offspring of wise and prudent statesmanship on the part of officials, and stern virtuve on the part of the people. The one demands a vigorous prosecution of the war ; the oilier unsleeping vigilance in guarding the rights and sovereighty of the States against ’he unauthorized encroachments of power. It is a fatal mistake to comfound inde pendence with good government. Too many regard them as synonomous, while they are as distinct as light, is from darkness. Independence means merely separate na tionality—the recognized right to deter mine ourown relations to. and regulate our intercourse with other powers Good gov ernment implies the best political organ ism for the protection of popular ligb’s and the advancement of its citizens in civ ilization and domestic happiness. A po litical community may be independent ; that is, possess a recognized separa 1 v na tionality, and still he the victims of des potism. Mexico is independent, but its people are cursed with had government. The nations ot continental Europe are in dependent, but their people, without ex ception, crouch beneath the iron heel of tyranny. We may achieve our independence, and^ it its achie-vement we may lose popular liberty. YYhilst we are intent and unswerv ingly resolved upon the achievement of the former, throughout all the struggle, no mat ter how many phases it may present, the people and rulers must keep good govern mi nt in view as the end ; il not, our rev olution is more worthless than rags. Fellow-citizens, pause for a moment and consider the value of good government. It implies the largest liberty of evety indi vidual citizen, that is compatible with the general safety and weifare. It implies a universal obedience to the laws that pro tects private property, piivate rights, rep utation, and life. It implies necessarily under our system, a firm maintenance of the sovereignty of the States. [Applause.] YVitbout that, we bhail drift into consoli dation or some form of despotism. YY’e have abandoned the old government of the United States because the sovereign rights of the respective States, and espe cially* of the South, were not respected ; we believed that our rights would not be safe in the Union, and that we could not successfully resist the encroachments* of Federal power. Then, keeping constantly in view the establishment of good government, as our ultimate object, we must first achieve our independence. This, I repeat, must be chiefly the work of tlie sword—of our brave soldiers and their skillful comman ders. Looking to this element of success, the {tast justifies cheering hopes for the future. Considering our inferiority in numbers and equipments, the paucity of our means at the'beginning of thacontest, and the fact that we are thrown entirely* upon our own resources, being cut off from supplies through the ordinary channels of foreign commerce, it is wonderful that we have not teen overwhelmed. The old world stands amazed at tlie success of our arms Since the war began, we have fought more battles and won more victo ries than were ever crowded within the same space of time. The balance of vic tories is largely in our favor; the zeal of our people is undiminished, and the cour age of our soldiery as indomitable as in the fiist hour of enthusiasm, when they ral lied in the tented field. Our energies are being strengthened, our resources multi plied and developed, and our armaments, of every kind, augmented. YY e have no reason to give up the contest. There is no retreat but in chains and slavery—no submission but in dishonor and degrada tion. But we must be patient under trials and privations, and, with willing hearts, we must make the sacrifices which our con dition demands, for these constitute tbe price of liberty. At her birth she was christened in tears and blood. Those who expect the protection of her divinity must be ready and willing to lay upon her altar
