The Columbus Times lias and interesting letter, dated Portsmouth, Va., May liO, troni a member of the Columbus City Light Ciutuds, which gives some entertaining par ticulars of Sewell's Pcint affair : The City Light Guards were in the fore most car ol the train that brought us into the borders of Virginia, and our feet was the first of all the Georgia troops to press Virgin ia soil. We are proud of this, but it is not our chief glory. We have tired the first gun at the enemy, aud share the honors of the tirst glorious \ ietory achieved for the South ern Confederacy in the good Commonwealth of the good “Old Dominion.” At eleveu o’clock yesterday morning just as our ehamplain—lfev. Thos. H. Jordou— had commenced his sermon to our battalion, at our camp at Tanner’s Creek Cioss Roads, (whither we were ordered last Friday) a mes senger from General Gwynii notified Maj. Hardeman that one company from his battal ion would be needed immediately at Sewell’s Point. As Capt. Colquitt is, by commission, the senior officer among the companies com posing our battalion, the eager desire of his company to go was yielded to. W ith one day s rations, we were ready in fifteen min utes for the com maud, “march.” It was given, and with a very quick step, we reach ed the Point, seven miles off, about half-past twelve. As we neared the fort, we march ed half bent, so as to conceal ourselves from the enemy, and we were kept in ambush uutil the firing commenced. A two.masted steamer-the Monticelio—was lying oft about three quarters of a mile from the fort. Un usual activity was manifested on her deck.— Large crowds of men were running about, some with glasses iu their bauds, others were sighting and adjusting the guns, and every thing indicated active preparations for an attack. From the same anchorage she had the evening before attempted to demolish tort Beauregard—the construction of which had commenced only a day or two ago.— As there was not then a single gun there, and none but negroes working on it, the work was suspended, and she was allowed to wast her powder on it. Rut altogether a differ ent reception greeted her guns yesterday AN e had all been working on the interior of the fort and mounting guns from the moment we landed. We kept the embrasures closed with color ed blankets so that our movements and the number of our men could not be discovered by them—At 6 o'clock P. M., private Cleve land of our Company went out in front of the battery, to shovel away a large bank of sand that obstructed the sighting of oar guns; and this act was the last “hair that broke the camel’s back” of their endurance. An eight inch shell came whizzing from the boat, struck the battery, and exploded, immedi ately English Lockhart seized our flag, ( that flag — THE flag) ran out and waved it three times, and planted it—our men all mounted the ramparts, pulled off their caps and shout ed three cheers for having been accomodated with the tirst fire. Each squad ran to their guns, and waited the command “fire P’ and when it was given, it was hearty good will that “pulled the strings,” of the live guns in our battery(three Cinch columbiads and two small rifle cannon.) Our men were so impet uous and hasty in their movements, that all our shots,for several rounds,were aimed either too high or too low ; but all of them were line shots. The enemy had three 8 inch columbiads from which they kept up a rapid and inces sant firing. Their guns were aimed with remarkable precision. Any one of their shots would have struck a boat the size of theirs ; but, thank God! not one did its diabolical work among us. Almost half of their shot struck our battery and several shells explo ded on the top of it. One tremendous bomb hit the muzzle of the cannon which Lieuten ant Moffet aud myself were working, and exploded in the embrasure, not three feet from us, covering us with the turf and splin ters of the battery, and so tearing up the embrasure as to make it large enough for three guns. Another shell passed within a foot of Robert Lockhart, as he ran out to plant the flag a little further to the left than it had been waving. He did not have time to get hack behind the battery after the cry “lookout” was given, and before the ball came. He fell flat on the ground, and that saved him. Privates Mayo and Portor had one ball to pass between their legs while they were shoveling away sand from in front of their gun. The trees near the fort were completely peeled and trimmed by the grape and shell. A chain came whizzzing just a foot above the battery, struck a tree ten feet off, and cut it in two, as smoothly as you could cut a sprig of asparagus. The shell and grape and ’22 pounders rained down among us all the time as thickly as hail, and all of us are the posessors of some of these trophies, gathered on the ground of our first successful battle-field. Our supply of ammunition was short, and we ceased tiring for fifteen minutes once, ex pecting that we would need the five or six rounds left for other boats despatched to the assistance of the Montecello. Up to this time not. one of our shots had taken effect. Our men had been too eager. Capt. Col quitt commanded silence, told us we must aim better, and tire more deliberately. He then aimed a gun himself, pulled the trigger and the hollow, rattling sound told where the ball had gone. Indeed, we could plain ly see daylight through the hole which the ball hail made just above the water’s edge. Two other shots aimed by Capt. Colquitt made their mark as plain as did this. Al most ail of our shots now struck the boat or passed hard b}’. The steam began to rod from her smoke-stack, her firing became more languid, her moorings began to loosen, and she moved sluggishly down Hampton Hoads. As she fired her third shot at us she sent up rocket signals, and just as she began to move off two little steam tugs from the Fortress came alongside to bear up the drooping wings of the poor wounded bird. One of the impudent little thiugs—the one on the starboard and next to us—tired a shot at our battery, which was aimed too low and fell short; we returned it, and she tired another and began to “bout.” Just as she gave us a fair broadside pre sentation a shot from one of our rifled can non tore away her colors, smoke-stack, and what else we know not. But she plowed the waves with all the steam she had after that, and thus euded the tight. That the I Monticelio was badly crippled was evident from the zigzag, languid manner in which she “rode out of the Roads.” We testified our sympathy for her condition by mounting the ramparts and sending up one long, lound an! grateful shout of victory, which God approved and the over an hiug heavens echo ed back. And now is not. “He that is fvr us mightier than they that are uyuinxt us'/” If would be invidious to mention the bravery ol any particular uue of our corps. Perfect composure and cheerful intrepidity mantled every brow. Our Captain's orders were announced with as much cheerful com posure and grace as if he bad been drilling us at dress parade. A small detachment from three Virginia companies were our companions in the engagement. Our com mander, however, hud charge of the united forces. EXEOUTIVE DEPA RTMENT, \ Milledgeville, May 17, 1801. ) To the Peteple of Georgia ; By the wicked and unprovoked aggres sions upon oui rights, our Northern neigh bors have driven us out of the Union estab lished by our fathers, and are now waging an unjust, and unholy war upou us, and at tempting to overthrow the government of equality established by us for our own pro tection. They are collecting a large military force upon our borders. They threaten to invade our territory with large armies ; to sweep over it with lire and sword ; to incite our slaves to insurrection and murder; to violate the sanctity of our homes, and to in flict the most cruel and outrageous wrongs upon our wives and daughters. They appeal to the very basest passions of the human heart for the purpose of exciting their soldiers and preparing them for the execution of their diabolical plans of rapine and plunder. They promise to apportion our lands and di vide our substance among their base mercen aries, as a reward fur our extermination and butchery. In some of their largest cities “beauty and booty” are made the rallying cry to induce the lowest rabble to enlist against us. Iu aid of the Government of Mr. Lincoln, now a military despotism disregarding all Constitutional guarantees and restrictions, w hile engaged in an unholy crusade against us, the people of the North are making large contributions from their private funds to equip and to support troops in the field to fight against the South. The Government of the Confederate States, which is the Government of our own choice, and is entitled to the fullest confidence and most cordial support of every true Southern heart, hu.s called for troops to meet these wicked invaders in the field of battle and to drive them back. Georgians have responded nobly to the call. Thousands have already left their homes, their friends, their wives, their children, and all else that was dear to them ou earth, and are now’ in the field submitting to all (lie privations of camp life and enduring all the hardships aud fatigues of war for the defence of our glorious common cause. Thousands more of our fellow citizens must soon follow. While our gallant soldiers have our warm est sympathies and our most fervent prayers, shall they not also liavj our rnatarial aid, und shall wc not see to it that all the actual wants of themselves aud their families are supplied ? ‘J he Government of the Confederate States having been but recently organized, and having to encounter an expensive war during the first month of its existence, cannot be expected to supply promptly all tilings neces sary to the comfort of large armies in the held. ‘I lie people of Georgia pay less tax in pro portion to the value of their property than the people of any other State in either Con federacy. The aggregate value of our pri vate property is near eight hundred millions of dollars. We could contribute ten mil lions of this to the support of our soldiers as a freewill offering and feel none the poorer. Let us not then subject ourselves to heavy taxation, or our prosterity to heavy debt, but let us show to the world that we are fully en listed iu the noble cause of freedom, and that we have tlie-ability aud the will, by private subsetiptiou, to cloth and feed our glorious and gallant troops in the field and their fam ilies, at home, w hile they are defending our W'ives our children, cur homes aud our al tars. People of Georgia, as ycur Executive, I appeal not to your legislators to tax you but to your patriotism aud your well known lib erality iu behalf of the soldier and the sol dier’s family. The soldier must have cloth ing. My appeal is first to the ladies whose fervent patriotism, burning zeal, and ener getic action in our glorious struggle, rekin dles iu our minds the memories of the im mortal women of the Revolution of 17i0, and convince us that while their daughters have improved upon their intelligence and refinement, arid have more pecuniary abili ty to act, they have abated nothing of their patriotism and their devotion to the cause of freedom. 1 know therefore that my ap peal to the women of Georgia will meet a hearty and cordial response. I request that each lady in Georgia pre pare at as early a day as she conveniently can, such contribution of soldier’ clothing us she may desire to make out of such material and of such color as she may be able to com mand—auy kind of Lome made cloth will be acceptable—and that each one deposit her contribution with the Clerk of the Superior Court of the county of her residence, who is requested to act as agent to receive it, and to keep a book in which he will enroll the name of each contributor with an account of her contribution. The Captains und J ustices of the Peace of each Military District in the State are respectfully requested to appoint meetings in their respective Districts, aud to bring this question before the people, and to act as agents for the ladies of their districts in forwarding their contributions with a cor rect account of the articles contributed by each to the Clerk of the Su}>erior Court ot the county. As the contributions are. brought in, the Clerk is requested, at con venient intervals, to box aud ship them at the expense of the State, to the Quarter Master General of this State, at Milledge ville, placing in each box a letter giving the name of the county from which it comes. 1 cannot doubt that the Railroad and Express Companies iu this State, with their accus tomed liberality, will forward all such pack ages to the Capitol free of charge. So soon as the donation in each county has ceased to be made, I request the Clei k of the Superior Court to transmit the book eoutainiug; the donors, with the account of the donation of each, to the Executive Office, I to be deposited among the permanent records lof the State. If each lady iu the State should contribute but a single garment, the supply would be abundant for all our troops. While a few may not be prepared to con tribute, many will doubtless do much more than this. To the lad} r making the mast valuable contribution of clothing before the first da\ ot August next, to be judged by the (Quarter Muster General, the Treasurer and the Comp troller General, I will present a beautiful gulden cup, and will cause her name to be enrolled on a blank leaf of the book of Min utes of the Executive Department, with a statement of the reason's why it is so enrolled T will also cause the names of each of the nine ladies makiug the most valuable dona tions next after the uue above mentioned, to be enrolled, each, on a separate leaf, in like manner in the order iu which the honor is awarded to each by the three officers above mentioned. My next appeal is to the gentlemen. I propose that they raise by contribution one million of dollars immediately, to be used by the State iu equipping and providing for the wants for the Georgia troops. 1 request the Justicesof the inferior Court ot each county,or auy two or more of them to act as agents tor this purpose, and to appoint such persons in the different Militia Districts as they may think proper to assist them. I suggest that books of subscription to be opened in each county on the first Tuesday in June next, or so soon thereafter as may be convenient, auti that public meetings be held in each county for the purpose of dis cussing the question and soliciting subscrip tions. 1 have requested our able aud faith.ul Comptroller General to make out from the tax books and publish a statement of the amount which would be the just proportion of each county, should each determine to contribute its part of the one million dollars proposed to be raised. The Treasurer of this State, on being informed by the Justicesof the In terior Court of the auiouut. of the donation of the county, will direct the manner of its transmission to the treasury, aud will receipt tor the amount. The Justices in each coun ty are respectfully requested so soon a? the books ot contribution are closed, to transmit, them to the executive Office that they may be preserved among the permanent records of the State. As the Executive of the State, I will pre sent a beautiful Hag of the Confederate States to the country making the largest do nation in proportion to the value of its taxa ble property. To the gentleman making the largest do nation before the tirst day of August next, 1 will present a goldeu medal with appropriate inscriptions, and will enroll bis name with a statement of the cause of its enrollment up on a blank leaf in the Book of Executive Minutes. 1 will also enroll in like manner the names of the nine gentlemen making the next largest donations in the order in which they are entitled by the amount of their con tributions. Another suggestion, and I have done —- Our enemies are blockading our ports and cutting off our supplies from abroad. A kind Providence has blessed us with the means of making within our own limits almost every thing necessary to our support and comfort, and with a monopoly of the great staple which the world cannot do without. It is said our enemies exempt cotton from bloekadge.— \\ by t Because they cannot do without it. I appeal to our planters, therefore, to refuse to ship a hag while the blockade lasts. This will soon remove the blockade from our ports, and the increase of price will amply reward you for the loss you may sustain while you keep your cotton on hand. I trust our peo ple will hold public meetings and petition the Government at Montgomery to lay an absolute embargo upon cotton, permitting not one bag to pass out of the Confederate States while the blockade is maintained. I appeal to our capitalists to go to work vigor ously and prepare to manufacture such arti cles as we most need. I also appeal to our planters to redouble their energies for the production of all the supplies of provisions necessary to support our people at home and our arms in the tield. The prospect is most flattering for an abuntant wheat harvest.— Let each planter so soon as his wheat is cut, break and plant a few acres of his best wLeat land in an early kind of corn. This would add hundreds of thousands of bushels to the crop. Let each also plant a large crop of peas and turnips, and look diligently to the cul ture of everything that would sustain the life of man or beast, that we may be entirely in dependent of all supplies from abroad.— j Finally I appeal to all—ladies and gentle men—to practice strict economy : dispense with every unnecessary luxury and devote all to our country till the battle is won aud our independence acknowledged by all the civil ized nations of earth. We hope for an early peace; but, if we are disappointed, God has given us the phys ical strength, and the material resources, audl the means of support, which will, with pro per energy, enable us to live and defend our selves upon our soil for the next twenty years to come. I’raying lli3 divine protec tion, let us humble ourselves in Ilia presence, implore His aid in our struggle, and with a firm reliance in the justice of our cause, let us resolve to achieve our iudependenee or suffer extermination in the patriotic effort. I am, very respectfully, your fellow citizen, JOSEPH E. BROWN. Sa vk the Garden Seed. —lt seems hardly necessary to remind our people of the im portance of saving all the garden seed which they may be able to save. We are not yet used to relying ou small matters, and many may neglect to attend to so novel a duty as saving garden seed. But we can get ho moi e garden seed from the North unless we hus band our own, will fall short, of the supply next spring. Let then, everybody save en ough and to spare of this year’s crop, of all kinds of seeds, and take good care of them through the winter. Those who follow our advice in this particular, will have cause to thank ourselves,and congratulate themselves, when the next seed sowing time comes round. — MUleth/ei itfr t it ion.

Hilly Wilson drew his men up and called “ attention !” The parson then gave them a very edifying and appropriate discourse, to which, in obedience to the Colonel’s commands, they listened at tentively. \\ ben the parson had finished, Billy gave the “boys” a short talk, .some what in this wise : “ Boys, I want you to remember what the minister has told you.— It is all for your good ; take his advice, and follow,’ it ; for there is no knowing but what in less than six months every d—d one of you will be in h—ll !” Here a voice from the ranks called out. “ Three cheers for h—ll !” and they were given with a will.— The pastor, astonished aud angry, a-ked what it meant. “Oh,” says Billy, “ tho boys don’t know much about Scripture. They think h—ll is somewhere between Montgomery and New Orleans, and they are d—d anxious to get down in that, neighbor hood!” Stuthei u Alert hunts. —\\ e regret to see the publication of articles reflecting upon the geueral integrity of Southern merchants.— That there are exceptions, w lie re advantage is taken of the present, unhappy state of the country, we do not question; but we are convinced that the ratio is exceeding small in comparison with those who consider them selves as justly and morally bound to pay their debts, whatever legislative act may be passed to annul them. We are satisfied of this by personal information derived from our own traders; and as a class, we feel sure the merchants of the Smith are gentlemen possessing every trait of character which we deem honorable among ourselves. The pub lication of unjust strictures upon them, there fore can only be productive of evil, engen dering personal animosity, and increasing the bitterness of feeling between the two sec tions. We trust our journals, in vigorously upholding the integrity of the Government —and’ which integrity will lie maintained by the entire North at any cost—will not detract from the private worth of our Southern brethren—because, in defence of what they deem tp be a just cause, they are arrayed in arms agaiust us.— Boston Post. JNT’We clip the following from the local columns of the Richmond Dispatch of Fri day. The seem to have made a very strong impression on our Richmond friends : The Oglethorpe Rifle Battalion, from Sa vannah. Georgia, arrived via Petersburg Rail road last night. They are fully armed and cquiped. Wo should judge there were about 500 of them in line. The Petersburg Express thus notices the passage of the corps through that city : The “Oglethorpe Light Infantry,” Capt. F. S. Bartow, from Savannah, Georgia, and numbering 10*2 men, arrived on the south ern train yesterday afternoon, and passed on to Richmond. This is one of the finest com panies the Empire State of the South can boast of, and truly, the members are all in perfect trim, and look as if they can well sus tain the honorable renown of their gallant State. An amusing addition to the company was a monkey in full uniform, who, we hear, willingly volunteered in the ranks to act as scout on all proper occasions, and especially for the purpose of catching his near kins man, the baboon in Washington, known to the public as Old Abe.
