COTTON CARDS.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, )
Milledgeville, Ftb. !Hh, 1863. j
To T. T. WINDSOR ;
Sir :—lou lmve been appointed to sell tho Cot
ton Cards made at the factory in this city under
the control of the State. The object had iu view
by those who originated this State enterprise, was
the supply of the people of this State, at the ear
liest day possible, with this indispensable article,
without which our people cannot much longer be
comfortably clad. It the women of Georgia, who,
from tiie commencement of our struggle for inde
pendence. have acted so nobli a pert, were sup
plied with Cotton C.yds, they would not only
clothe their families, but would, by their untiring
iudust-y, contribute largely to the supply neces
sary for our gallant troops in service. With the
assistance of those who arc laboring b«:d to put
the necessary machinery in motion, it will be my
constant effort to supply the deficiency as fast as
possible. This, however, can only bo dune to a
limited extent for a considerable length of time
to come So iong as there is not a supply for all,
the distribution of the limited number produced
will be a difficult task, which it is impossible to
perform widiout displeasing such persons as look
only to their own interest, and are never satisfied
unless they are preferred. My object is to make
the distribution among the different counties of
this State as equitable as possible. It is not just
that the counties neare-t to Ibis place, or to the
railroads of the State, have ail they ask, before
the counties further back from the thorougbfaies
receive any. At prescut wc have but one machine
in operation, which is turning out about an aver
age of ffd pairs per day. We hope soon to have
other machinery, made hero, under the direction
of Mr. Peter Jones, our Mqster Armorer, in suc
cessful motion
If we succeed in this, we must have leather to
make the cards, or our machinery will avail us
nothing. As the supply ot leather is very limited,
probably nothing but cafds will bring what we
need. You wilt therefofe give the preference to
all persons who briug yop leather, or hides suita
ble to make leather, fit ifor use in this business.
He who brings one good skiu, whether tanned or
not, will be permitted to purchase one pair of
Cards at.six dollars, and pay the difference in mo
ney. He who brings sljins or leather suitable for
use, worth more than s)x, and less thau twelve

Wo think too much prominence is giv
en by the press to the stories of great dis
affection in the Yankee Army, and we
fear too much importance is attached to
them by the “powers that be.” There is
6 me truth, of course, in the reports which
reach us of dissatisfaction in the ranks of
the enemy, caused by bad Generalship,
a:il mismanagement on the part of the
Administration at Washington. But the
instances are rare where any officers of
high rank have thrown up their commis
sions ou account of the bad odor raised by
Lincoln and his associates in the work ol
white washing Sambo. That a feeling of
depression and dissatisfaction is wide
spread among the people, who are disgust-
el at the imbecility of Lincoln, and shock
ed at the enormous debt which he and his
Congress arc rolling up for them to pay,
is very probable ; but it is not so with the

Mediation by France.
Richmond, Feb. 11.—Northern papers of the
12th were received here late last night.
The Europa has arrived at Ilallitax, and it is
reported that she brings propositions from Napo
leon offering meditation between North and South
on the basis that both appoint commissioners to
meet in Montreal or Mexico to arrange the prelim
inaries of peace.
A Washington telegram to the New York Ex
press says it is reported that Seward lias rejected
the proposition. Tho Washington Chronicle de
nies that there has been any such indication from
Government. It adds, there is reason to doubt
that portion of the news, which states that a sus
pension of hostilities is included in the terms.
The reported rejection of tho mediation propo
sition caused gold to advance in New York from
132 1-2 to lf>6, but subsequently fell to 154 1 2.
Stirring peace resolutions were introduced into
the New Jersey Legislature proposing to appoint
Commissioners to visit Richmond to ascertain
whether the Confederate Stales would re-affirm
its adhesion to the Union and recognize the Con
stitution: if not, on what terms peace can be re
stored.
The steamer Florida was at Nassau the last of
January, and left a week afterwards. She was

Yankee vessels watching for her.
A correspondent from the Rappahannock re
ports innumerable desertions from Hooker’s lines.
Admiral Porter reports as unsuccessful the at
tempt of the Queen of the West to capture the
Confederate steamer the City of Vicksburg, aud
acknowledges that the former with difficulty es

FROM THE NORTH.
Plain talk from the West In the Lincoln
Senate.
Richmond, Feb. 13.—Iu the Lincoln
Senate, on the 7th instant, Thirpin, of
Indiana, and Richardson, of Illinois,
made strong Northwestern anti-aboli
tion speeches. The former character
ized Lincoln as a tyrant, and said he
would have no subjects west of the
AUeghanies.
The letter of Drouyn de L’Huys,
French Minister of Foreign Affairs to
M. Mercier, dated Nov. 13th, express
ed regret at the refusal of Great Brit
ain and Russia to unite with France
in overtures of mediation between the
American belligerents. He says, “We
will return, like them, to a passive at
titude, from which we would never
have departed had we remained indif
ferent to the present evils, and the fa
tal consequences of an endless contin-
nntil about ten days before death. So !
perfectly clear and satisfactory was the
evidence of her change and gracious ac- (
ceptance with God, that she “rejoiced,
with joy inexpressible.” She immediate- ;
ly announced to Ler family and friends :
“what great things tho Lord had done for ,
her soul,” exhorted and admonished those ,
who were present, and sent appropriate
messages to two brothers who are absent in
the C. S. Army. Death had now lost all
its terror and earth its attractions, and
with great calmness and serenity of mind,
she awaited tho final issue. Two days
before her death she gave some general di-
| rections in regard to her burial, after which
| she sung with astonishing composure, and
j softness and melody of voice, her favorite
I hymn, commencing “I would not live al-
| way,” Ac., and requested that it should
again be sung on the occasion of her fune
ral.
The approach of death found her lean
ing in faith upon the sinner’s friend, her i
mind clear, her spiritual sky cloudless,
and to the verj- last praises and prayers
lingered upon her lips. Looking upon the
sublime and triumphant death scene, the
beautiful lines of Tuppcr were brought
forcibly to mind :
“Behold the fragile form ol delicate transparent
beauty.
Whose dark hazel eye and hectic cheek are lit
by the bale fires of decline.
All droopingly she lieth, as a dew-laden lllly.
Her raven tresses, rashly luxuriant, dark with
unhealthy moisture:
Hath not thy heart said of her, “Arise ! poof
child oi weakness ?”
Thou hast erred ; Goliath of Gath stood not in
hah her strength.
For that weak fluttering heart is strong in faith
assured,
Dependence is her might, and behold—she pray-
eth.”
Being asked, “Do you still trust in
Jesus for salvation ? Is Jesus still pre
cious to your soul ?” She responded, “O
yes, yes, yes,!” Praise the Lord ! Let
all tbe people praise the Lord ! Happy,
happy, happy !” These were her last
words. In a few moments her redeemed
spirit passed away without a struggle,
leaving the impress of a sweet smile upon
her features.
May this sore bereavement be blessed
to the spiritual good of the sorrowing fam
ily, and may the youthful of this commu
nity liced it as a solemn call—“Be ye also
ready, for in such an hour as ye think not
the Sou of man cometli.”
