NOTICE.
the affairs of the Central Georgian Office
aring my absence have been, and will contin-
e to be, under the immediate control of Mr.
who is authorized to collect
Governor Brown's Claims lor a Third Term.
Governor Brown is certainly a remarkably
great man—that is, we mean according to his
estimate of what constitutes greatness. His
talents have been directed into multitudinously
ramified channels, but never, in but two isolated
instances, has be accomplished any good, of
made any thing l’AY either himself or the State,
except the-State Road, and that salt-peter and
sulphur speculation. And here was an enter
prise fully in keeping with the Governor's va
ried talents! From snubbing the Confederate
Government, or running a tilt with the gifted
and lamented Bartow, to speculating off the
necessities of our infant govern menfby selling
i saltpetre and sulphur at largely increased
prices, our model, our amiable and aecomp.ish-
ed Governor is perfectly at home.
And let us not pass idly by anothef of his
hobbies. There is a fatuity existing somewhere
about the Governor, which ceaselessly induces
him to imagine himself, alternately, the State
of Georgia and the President of the Confeder
ate States. And in accordance with such hal-
luciuation he now and then issues his edicts
through the medium of certain papers controll
ed byhis man Friday ; or else attempts to in
fluence the election of regimental officers upon
the assembling o: companies at .their reudez-
vous.
We were of opinion that the curses lav-

\V e learn from the Savannah Republican
that the harvesting of the rice crop commenced
about ten days ago on the Savannah and Ogee-
ehee rivers. The crop is unusually large.
—The Norfolk Day Book says that large
quantities of excellent salt is being manufac
tured at that place, and will soon be thrown on
the market.
—The Federal General, Grant, took posses
sion of Paducah, Kentucky, on the «th instant,
and issued a proclamation to the citizens urg
ing them to attend to their business, conclu
ding by saying he would withdraw his forces
whenever l't was manifest that they were able
to protect themselves. Kentucky ! how fallen !
Where is your boastt-d neutrality ?
—A special dispatch from Charleston to the
Savannah Republican, dated Sept. 7th, says,
that the report of the hanging of two South
Carolina soldiers by the Lincoln army in I ir-
ginia is confirmed ; and also that fourteen oth
er Confederate prisoners taken at Bull Run
were shot by the Federalists. Is this so ?

Fob CoXGRE8S,-4iaj. John H. Howard an
nounces himself as a candidate tor Congress m
the Third District. His platform is small sal
aries, few officers, low taxes, free trade with
everybody hut the North, and a vigorous pros
ecution of the war.
That’s an honest platform, and if the people
of the third district do not elect Major Howard,
they are oblivious of the true principles of equi
table government. We sincerely trust every
candidate for the Confederate Congress may
have the same views, and legislate in accord
ance therewith when elected. This govern-

four pounds and ! ’ ’’ sh
for a yam potato weighing
eight ounces. This is certainly a very large
sample, even for a later day in the season; and
attaining such size thus early indicates that
Mr. R. has acquired great skill in the cultiva- ]
Cion of this important root—so important, m ;
fact, in lengthening out the existence ot the j
corn crop, that we often wonder why our far- j
tners do not plant more of them. We are in- ^
formed that this yam grew in new-gfonud. ,

Its pleasure to chronicle such success in agri

Another Company (mm Washington.
We learn from Capt. Ivey, of the Mount
Vernon Rifles, that his company has been le-
ceived into Col. Gaulden’s Regiment, now bi m-
ing for the defence ot the coast ot Georgia,
a id the company has been notified to be in
readiness to march in two weeks.
A few recruits are wanted to fill up the rai 1 a
of the Rifles ; atid any one who may desire t>.
join them, would do well to apply at once.
The company have a meeting at Riddlev.lle
on Saturday next.
She has suffered a de-
lini>oitiiiit to Tax Payers.
Mr. John H. Pittman, tax-collector for this
County, has furnished us with a circular receiv
ed from the Treasury Department of the State,
specifying what funds will be received in pay
ment of taxes. From it we learn that bills
of banks receivable on deposite in the hanks
of Augusta and Savannah ; and bills of the
Central Bank and coupons of State Bonds,
which may be due, signed on their face by the
Treasurer, or agent ot' the State, or endorsed
•bytkfi Treasurer, will be received in payment
of taxes: also coupons of Confederate Bonds,
or Notes of the Treasury of the Confederate
States of America.”

at the very moment the capital was in the
greatest danger.”
There is much significance in the hint
though coming from an unofficial quarter—
t mt this war must have its limits, so far aa
England is concerned. . 'Die time cannot bs
far distant when England and France will find
ft to iheir interest to interfere with the Lincoln
b ockade in such manner as will occasion any
other than pleasurable emotions in the rail-
splitter’s bosom—which bosom, we may as well
state, by the way, is not suspected, here at the |
Smith, of containing anything but Ohio whisky.
It is not to be supposed that two nations en
tertaining such jealous notions of their com
mercial rights, will remain inactive while tbeiC.
trade is ruined for no other purpose than to
j gra’ify the fanatical caprice of the Northern
! house-burners and marauders. Taking into
I consideration the starving thousands of the
North ; their numerous defeats on all sides ; the
complete investment of Washington b; the
C mfederate troops ; the perilous condition ol
Rosencrantz in Western Virginia; the growing
peace sentiment in some of the Northern
States, and the equivocal—not to say threaten
ing-position of England and France—the
Yankees are likely to shortly be in about such
a condition as Titus left the Jews -'fter the des
truction of their great city. Well, they have
courted such a result—let them enjoy its con-
summation.

Mr. Editor:—Since my last communication
we have received quite a number of letters
from home. Newspapers are more frequent,
and among them wo have received a few copies
of the Central Georgian. Recruits, kind friends
and near relatives from Georgia havfi brought
us the news, fresh from home. The writer has
enjoyed the company of a brother, visiting a
wounded relative here.
The wife and daughter of our much respect
ed Captain have been here about three weeks.
Their company, to a husband and father, can
be fully appreciated by those only who have
been separated. Their presence and kind at
tentions are, no doubt, fully appreciated by
their relative, Col. Stephens, who has been quite
sick, but is'now much improved. lice Presi
dent Stephens is here.
Friends at home will regret to learn that our
esteemed friend, Capt. T. J. Smith, is quite ill.
His wife will, no doubt, be herein a day or two.
Indisposition prevented her accompanying her
sister, Mrs. Latimer. There are a great many
sick men in camps. I am inclined to think
there is less sickness in the two Hancock com
panies than in any others. Besides Captain
Smith, I think no one is dangerously ill in
these companies. Corporal Janies^ Jones, of
the Fireside Guards, died on the 2oth instant.
I learn he was a pious young man and very
much respected at home.
There has been a little fighting between here
and Alexandria for the last few days. Many
of the regiments around here have advanced.
We have not moved yet. M e have been fur
nished with forty rounds of cartridges each. It
has occasionally been pretty cool here. M e
have had an abundance of rain, which makes
a cloth roof and dirt floor less comfortable than
the houses we left in Georgia.
Just at this moment, while I am writing, we
have received orders' to pack our kn.psacks,

tr During the last few days we have collected
many isolated facts relating to the movements
of southern troops, and also some general sta
tistics indicating the aggregate strength ot the
Confedera-e armv. and present them to the
public to day. These facts, and the inferem es

cannot fail to impress the North with the sol
emn truth, that in the inaugufation-ot the pres

"’two hundred and fifty thousand men this
hour bear arms for southern independence.
One hundred and fitly thousand more have been
called to arms bv the Confederate Congress,
and those who know the spirit and the temper
of the South in the present crisis know that the
call is not sent forth in vain. Home guards
throng in every county, city and town. Bayo
nets gleam on every public road. Companies
rally in regiments—regiments into armies.
Wide-mouthed cannon guard every shore.
Strong-willed men line every border. A whole
people sleep at night, upon the tented field, and
rise in the morning to the beat ot hostile drums.
These men. as well as men of the North, are
the sons of those who left their b oodv t»«*s
upon the northern snows, and humbled Britain s
pride and power in the war of the Revolution.
They are descended from those strong-willed
barons Who wrung guarantees ter freedom from
old Kino- John at Runuemede. Right or wrong,
they see only liberty as the purpose of the
struggle in .which they lave engaged, and for
that they have consecrated themselves to the
cause of martyrs-. Hence the potent, patent
truth—a great empire, from the Potomac river
to the gulf, is one vast military camp wherein
strong men throng in arms. .
But the South i3 not strong aiotie in its num

public auth rity upon the subject—informs us
{hat the South, embracing lese than one-third
of the population of the United States, raised
that rear wheat enough for its eutire popula
tion that it grew more than forty per centum
of the entire corn crop of the Union; and that
the value of its slaughtered animals was nearly
thi:tv-nine per centum of the whole value re
turned for the United States. If we arid to
these the superabundant rice crop of the South
ern States, we have an aggregate from which
we deduce, by the simplest mathematical cal
culation, the important lact that the South, in
proportion to its population, produces annual y
in breadstuff's a value more than double that ot
the North. She is, therefore, twice as capab e
of self support in a protracted war. Especially
is such the fact in the present year, when the
usual export crops in a great measure give way
to staplon ot' more immediate necessity, lhe
facts told by these plain, unpretending agricul

President Lincoln s Response to the Commis
sioners from Keni ucky—Civil W ar Inev it able.
—The Cincinnati Enquirer learns that the Com-
missioueis sent by Gov. Magoffin to President Lia-
Colo, to requnst the observance of the neutrality
of Kentucky, failed ill iheir mission, the President
declarino* that “lie would not respect the neutrality
of Kentucky; but he would march Federal troops
into and through the State.” This response was
not altogether unexpected. It is, however, more
explicit and straightforward than we anticipated.
We thou "lit it by no means improbable t at some
arrangement would be effected by which the Union
m mbeisof the Legislature would be empowered
to decide what course of rctioa should bo pursued
in regard to tlie encampment of Federal troops on
Ke picky soil, as well as in regard to their move-
mem across I lie soil ,f the State.
Tlie response of the President to too Commis
sioners ii. our opinion, renders civil war inevitable
The President has declared that he will not respect
the neutrality ol the Slate; he has deliberatelv
determined lhat tbe State which gave him birth
shall be crimsoned with fratricidal blood. Upon
Abraham Lincoln will rest the fearful re-ponsibihly
of inaugurating war in Kentucky. Not only will
Lincoln not re.-peel the neutrality of the v-tate
not only will he not disband the encampment in
Garrard county—but lie will march troops through
the State, and establish camps for military mstrum
lion at Louisville, Covington and Frankfort. Ibis
is the response of Mr. Lincoln to the Commission
ers appointed to request him to disband the fede
ral troops at camp Dick Robinson, and to respect
ihe neutral position of Kentucky, It now becomes
the people ot Kentucky to unite as oue man. Alt
parties iu tlie State are committed to the doctrine
ot lieu,rainy. Lei it be maintained at all hazards.
If Hie people of the State will unite togetherU
they at*e true to themselves; if they are determin 1
ed to maintain inviolate the neutrality and vindi
cate tlie honor ot the State, Lincoln will be pow-
ei less to do us harm.
Tbe people of Kentucky should Rt once prepare
for war, Tlie Governor should issiie his proclama
tion for at least fifty thousand men, and in less llutn
thirty days the invaders will be driven from Ken
tucky soil.
Meeting of Gunsmiths.—At the meeting of
Georgia Guustuiihs, called by the Governor, in
v llama Inst week, there were some thirty present,
front different parts of the Slate. Some discussion
occurred on the policy of repairing and using old
guns the opinion of the gunsmiths being general
ly unfavorable to the project. Not more than one
in five could be made serviceable, and in addition;
the people Would not part with then, for less
money than would pay for the material for new
ones Adjutant General Wayne concurred in this
Opinion, The d fficuliy <f obtaining seasoned
wood, for sticks, was also discussed. On inquiry,
the Superintendent of the State Road Machine
Shop stated that four forges could be spared lot
immediate use in the manufacture of the barrels in
in the rough, and all the room necessary for
lathes for turning and rifling. Ten barrels per day
could be turned out at each forge.
Alt effort was then inady by the Governor to
ascertain from each of the gunsmiths at what price
the guns could be finished alter the barrels were
furnished, atid how many could be completed
within a given time. No definite response was
elicited; however, though one or two gave lueir
opinion. The Governor announced that he would
give $ IG for each gun, and bind the State to the
bargain as far as in Iris power—trusting to the
Legislature to ratify the contract; and that he
would, for tlie first two months, give $17 for each
gun. The work is to be commenced in the Suite
R ,ad Shop at once, and the guns to be manufac
tured after the Harper s Ferry pattern.
