Now let the shipping of goods through Wilmington, Charles” foil and other ports of the Confederacy he forbidden by law, arid we take a long step towards independence. Gov. Letcher has issued an order convening the Legislature of Virginia on the 7tli of September. The object is to provide means for defense of the State, and to help the currency of the country. T lie Yankees are filling up tiieii Army with Negro Regiments, at all points. Our boys should never take one of them alive, or white officers who are in command of them. Gen. Price has not resigned, the (jiiid nuncs to the Contrary notwith standing. All reports from West of the Mississippi concur in placing our aflairs in a hopeful condition, in that quarter. The unionists have elected their candidate for Governor in Ken tucky. Of course ; the true Southern men had left the State, or were not per mitted a free baliot. Texas is awake. The Governor of Texas, jt is reported, has an Army of 1(1,000 men in the field, and bus placed himself tit the head of it. Gen’l. Dick Taylor is do ing good work west of the liver, lie is said to have gobbled up some 2o or 30 New York planters who were planting cotton in Louisiana, and sent them to Texas. Northern accounts state that Meade is anxious to resign, but Abe wont .agree to it. It is said Lincoln’s cabinet is divided as to what terms shall he offered the South. Chase it is said goes the whole nigger ; Seward is for offering liberal terms on recon stitution ; and Abe is said to be hal ting between the two. Lee’s Army is, siutii i/ito—Meade’s ditto.

Many of the Telegrams sent over the country have uo foundation in fact. According to the Press Reports from Jackson, Mississippi, Grant lost about 1-30,000 men in his assault upon Vicks burg ; Vicksburg was safe all the time, and these monstrous reports, it is pro posed (if not in this case, in others) to bind in a Book !

In<iii!«ilio» forHIooil. The public arc interested by the infor mation that a military coni t of inquiry is going to sit in Montgomery to investigate the circumstances* attending the, loss of Vicksburg and Mississippi. The public do not caie, since the mischief has been, so much to know the precise degree of milita ry incapacity displayed in the performance as the amount of fraud and corruption practiced in the commissary and transpor tation departments of Pemberton’s army. The air is full of the most astounding sto nes of gigantic, systematic, persevering universal fraud,venality and corruption,by which every public interest was made the support of the most unblushing malversa tiou. These stories unsettle men’s minds more thau the loss of Vicksburg, for where is the use of fighting, fasting or praying, if the itching palm and the greasy fingers forts necessary to their safety. Beau regard holds out well, and I think Gil more aud Dalghren will find they have a larger Summer’s job on hand than they have anticipated. I should like to be as easy about East Tennessee as I am about Charleston. PROLONG E. For the Confederate I'nion. The Coming Past Say. Messrs. Editors: It is a gratifying fact that the President of the Confede rate States, lias repeatedly called upon the Nation in proclamation singularly felicitous and appropriate, ta observe days of fasting and prayer, in view of our national emergencies. His proc lamation for a. day of fasting, humilia tion and prayer, on Friday the 21st inst., is eminently seasonable. We need the favor of God. Without it,we perish. Grnl is angry with us for our sins. Hence the war itself, and hence the reverses of this summer. It is earnestly hoped that there will be a general and serious observance of the appointed fast day. Let us come be fore God in the sanctuary, with our children and servants—confess our sins and implore pis blessing on our bleed ing country. An arrangement lias been made for a united observance of the day, at Milledgeville, at the Metho dist church, to-wit—Prayer meeting at 0 o’clock, A. M.; to which all who have friends or kindred in the. army are specially invited. Service at 104 o’clock. Rev. Dr. L.

There were.three brothers and ail have died since the beginning of the w ar. The only two who were capable of performing military duly having fallen in the service of their country.

He was the fouitli son of James and Jane Moran of this County, and is the third noble one which they have lost in this our struggle for independence. Following the i sample of his elder brothers, he entered service in September last as a member of the -‘Baldwin Blues,” 4th Ga. Ivegiment, and was soon noted lor his strict attention to duty as well as for manly decision and firmness of character, well meriting the noble title of “Confederate Soldier" iu the highest sense of the term. To Ins comrades, he was ever the same, social, kind hearted friend—ever ready to do the. utmost in his power, to oblige and rend er them Tnippy. By untiringly persevering in this course of&anduet, lie won for himself an enviable reputation as^feHow-soldier.and as an associate Immediately af(cr the battle of Chancellorsville (in which ho bofctt an active part, aud, in which, although it was bisNJirst experience on tbe field of battle, he manifested'^ high degree both ofhra- vey^md cooin<*^>,L[a‘/v\>p taken violently ill with Camp-Fever.

Perhaps he has more time t-o devote to his proof read ing than some editors ; or, perhaps, he has a Printer who sets a clean proof, and who can correct a»proofsheet with out .leaving any errors uncorrected. AA'e have no fault to find with frientl Turner for picking out the errors of his neighbors whenever his “ optics, keen” discovers them ; but then, one so cen sorious, should be without blame him self, always, or even the appearance of it. We like to read his paper, for there is much in it to improve both mind and heart; but we think, when he aspires to perfection, and establishes a censor ship over his brethren of the Press, he ought to show the right patent by which he assumes authority. Does he do it in the following quotation,which we make from his paper? *• The key to tho whole mattci is the line of Pope, < All partial evil, universal good.’ ” Countryman Aug. 4, ’63. Now, our Pope does’nt say so. We quote from our's: “ God sends not ill; if lightly understood, Or partial ill is universal good.” [Pope’s Essay on Man,Epistle IV. The italics are our own.

Let the inquisition begin at once, and let all the evidence be brought tip that can be had ; arfl^pt this dark and bloody deed be revealed in light of tho Sun at noon day. Until the truth is known,the commissary and transportation departments of the A’icksburg Army, must rest uuder a charge, as painful to the Country, as it is crushing to tbe honor ol every man in either of them. [ Correspon-Jeuce Confedf-rate Union. ] Graysville, August 6, 1S63. No change in affairs of moment since my last, but the impression is now gen eral and decided, that East Tennessee is the aim of Rosencrans. and that he is disposing his troops with the inten tion of an early attempt. Rumors are many of the movements making on the other side of the river, but none yet of that distinctiveness to clearly indicate the direction in which the blow will be struck. Troops, we hear, are being massed at Bridgeport, with the appear ance of a purpose of crossing the river at that point. If this be so, the expe dition must look to Atlanta or Selma; or mav be intended as a vlemdnstration to draw troops from General Bragg’s right, with a view of weakening oppo sition to the march into Tennesse. The apprehension of raids upon the fron tier of Georgia has subsided, but we hear of small parties of individuals, scouts, spies and incendiaries, who sep arately, are to get all the information they can and do damage, by incendia rism, whenever opportunity may offer. Residents tire becoming uneasy at the aspect of affairs, and some from the sea coast who sought refuge and secu rity in the Mountains, are now looking to the sea coast again as the safest quarter. There are also rumors of the defection of Texas, and of numbers in Mississippi and Tennessee,which wheth er true or false, arc having injurious ef fects iu unsettling the purpose of our own people. From all one hears the de sire is that General Johnston should be in command of all the troops in Ten nessee, Alabama and Mississippi, and such an appointment would give con fidence to the country. I have heard men of standing say that they would <rive such and such sums out of their own pockets could money effect such a result. The people have unbounded trust in Johnston,and confidence in Mil itary matters is the most important el ement of success. However clever a man may be if lie lias not the confi dence of his troops^ he is in the wrong place, while an inferior mind posses sing it however may achieve great re sults. Let men believe in and trust in their leader and they follow his orders with alacrity and an assurance of suc cess. It was this enthusiasm iri Napo- poleon that made the French Soldiers victors, and Napoleon understood its organized condition they would be useless in an emergency. AA^itliouta head to di rect all must be confusion. * Wo hope to see the battalion organized at once by the election of rlie proper officers. Grorxiainw in Hospital.

Vicks burg is one of the sweetest of places on the continent for congestive fever, as tiie Yankees will find to their cost for months to come. Even frost, we think, will hardly suffice to stop it. Advices from Holly .Springs, of Aug. 2d, state that the country in that vi cinity is at present enjoying a calm from the troubles of war. No Yankees have visited the -vicinity within the last six weeks, and there has been no necessity for the presence of any Con federate truoj^. 'Such crops as were put in, promise bountifully. Provis ions and goods are plenty and (heap. The currency of the country is an ad mixture of Confederate, cotton, rail road and greenback rates, all of which pass on an equality. Gen. Cooper has issued a general order that all discharges for disability shall beheld as conditional, dependent upon the disability, and valid only du ring its continuance. If, on examina tion, the disability is at any time found to have ceased, the holders will be lia ble to conscription, to serve the unex pired terms of their enlistments. This regulation applies to substitutes,wheth er under or over the age of conscrip tion. Their services are due for the war, and the Government should not be deprived of them, for what proves to be a temporary disability. Brig. Gen. George C. Strong.— Gen. Strong, who was fatally wound ed in the attack on Fort Wagner, July IS, is the same individual who acted in the capacity of Adjutant General for the brute, Butler, and who tyrannized over the helpless women and children of New Orleans, during the reign uf the Beast in that down-trodden city. The now defunct General was’ a mar ried man, a native of Vermont, and a regular blue-bellied Yankee in every particular. It is a matter ofgratula- tion that the wrongs he inflicted upon the people of New Orleans have been bo quickly avenged. In Gainesville Ala. on the 9th inst., in the 47th year of her a ALs.

Hence this circular for public information. 1 ..It is useless to apply for exemptions or de tails iu cases of Physicians," teachers, blacksmiths, millers, tanners, shoemakers, overseers, owners of propelty, civil officers, &c., Ac., or because the parties are deemed ust fll at home.
