Heart Searching.— -The present js $
time for heart searching—for close coimuuur
ion with our own hearts, and with Clod. —
Our inarterial interests engross too much of
our thoughts. The unnatural, unnecessary
contest between North aud South, tills our
luiuds and our hearts. Too much time is
spent in enquiring after the news^ —in rea
ding the news-papers. How does the case
stand with your soul, reader? What is the
record between you and your Maker? Are
you at peace in your inart, with Ood and all
mankind.—Have you the testimony that
you please God ? If not, make haste to re
pent—be in earnest to believe in Jesus —to
consecrate-body, soul, life, talent, property,
all you have —all you are to Christ. Invite
God to dwell in your heart. Now enter ful
ly into the life of faith. Live and walk by
faith and not by sight, that the faith of the
( Son of God who loved you and gave himself
for you. (J ! precious faith—precious life,
“hid with Christ iu God, so that when He
who is your life shall appear, we also may
appear with him in glory."— No. Ca. Advo.

In answer to many inquiries on the subject,
1 can state, from official information, that
mail matter for the Unitid States and other
foreign countries will he forwarded to its ad
dress upon the payment of the Confederacy
postage, in money, and the foreign postage
in United States stamps?
With regard to letters from Europe, I will
state that mail matter on which the foreign
postage is prepaid iu full, will, in all prob
ability reach its address upon the payment
here of the Confederacy postage. Unpaid
Europeou mail matter for offices in the Con
federacy will probably remain in the New

in \\ ashingtou, until the parties to whom ad
dressed make arrangements for the payment

DEATH OF A VOLUNTEER.
We regret to learn that private William Swift,
ol the Houston Southern Rights Guards, died near
Pensacola on the 30th ult., it is supposed from
over-exertion.
We learn that the Vicksburg railroad is finisliod.
and that soldiers, en route to Virginia, are passing
over it. The railroads are a most important in
strument for war purposes; and since the present
war began, several of them in the South have
been completed and made ready to serve the
country.
THE NEW TARIFF,
For the Confederate States, will be found In our
paper to-day. It is an improvement on the bill
originally submitted by the Committee. It will be
seen that fertilizers, as well as articles of prime
necessity, come in duly free.
MECHANICS
Everywhere are referred to the advertisement
of Mr. Duuharn in our paper to day. We are
happy to learu from him that he will rebuild the
Granite Hall upon an enlarged and improved scale.
THE CENTRAL CITY BLUES
Are now in camp, preliminary to their depar
ture for Virginia, which we learn will be in a few
days. Let tbeir comfort be looked after. We
doubt not many of our friends in this vicinity wil*
gladly furnish them amply with vegetables, fruits,
Ac. Macon has contributed generously ot men
means in this war, but there is much still to do.
THE WEATHER
For the last two weeks has been quite warm,
and gardens are needing rain. There are some
propitious indications of a sprinkle as we write
ibis. The fine wheat crop in this section has been
housed in good order. Let farmers see that it is
well eared for and the straw preserved.
PRESIDENT DAVIS
Arrived at Richmond last week, and was wel
comed with demonstrations of the liveliest joy.
His presence in the Old Dominion will inspire new
confidence and courage in the .Southern Army, if
this were possible. We deem it most fortunate
that our young Republic, at this crisis, has a leader
in whose wisdom and experience she can so large
ly confide.
HAWKINSVILLK TIMES
The editor of this excellent paper, and bis em
ployees, having gone to the wars under the gal
lant Captain Horne, the Time* will be suspended
until a more peaceful reign, when doubtless its
publication will be resumed under brighter auspi
ces than ever. The editorial and typographical
profession are largely represented in the Confede
rate Army. May Heaven bless them !
THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
We are pleased to see that planters are prompt
ly responding to the proposition of our Govern
ment, and pledging a portion of their cotton crop
in aid of its finances. Indeed, every class of our
people, an;i especially the ladies, are coming up
nobly aud generously to the demauda of the crisis.
And yet there is much still to do. As the contest
is likely to be protracted lor an indefinite period,
governmental and piivatc plans, to meet the emer
gency, should be on a broad, comprehensive and
permanent basis. In the meantime, let no one
be “weary in well-doing,” but with unflagging and
unflinching spirit, cheerfully discharge such dutics
and endure such privations and trials as the occa
sion may demand; hoping aud praying that a
brighter day may soon dawu upon our afflicted
laud.
THE NATIONAL FAST,
Recommended by our Congress and proclaimed
by our worthy President, is eminently appropriate,
and will be sanctioned by public sentiment aud
feeling and, we trust, by utiicerwl observance.
We should be glad to see it regarded with all the
Sacred forms and services of the fcsabbath ; to see
the implements of labor, and all secular business,
cast aside, and the freemen and bondmen of our
entire Republic, with one heart aud one mind, rev
erently and piously acknowledging their allegiance
to the King of Kiugsand Lord of Lords, and hum
bly invoking the Divine blessing upon our armies,
and the Divine interposition for a speedy restora
lion of peace. Remember then the 13th of June.
All over the land let the people be called together
—and in the absence of a regular pastor, let pious
laymen conduct appropriate exercises. Fray lor
the soldier who is fighting our battles—pray for
the loved one3 he has left bphifid—pray for our
rulers —pray for propitious seasons— that our lands
may “yield their increase - ’ —that our people be
preserved from pestilence, famine and the sword.
And, finally, that the hearts of our enemies may
be turned to righteousness and reason.
VIRGINIA
Is likely to be the great battle-field in this sec
tional conflict. All eyes awe turned in that direc
tion, whilst troops are pouring in from all directions.
T’he first regiment from this State, under Colonel
Ramsey, and a J.ouisiapa and Alabama regiment
have been ordered to the Old Dominion, and in
a few days will doubtless reach their destination.
So great is the rush in that direction, that there was
some detention of the Georgia regiment in Atlanta,
aud the Quitman Guards, of Forsyth, Cnpt. Pinck
ard, Southern Rights Guards, of Houston, Capt.
Houser, aud Washington llitles, of Sanderaville,
Capt. Jones, received u furlough for one dav to
visit their friends. The two Utter companies
reached this place on Sunday last on their way
home. They were in fine health, but looked some
what sun-burnt. We think the change a judiciotu
one.
The Quitman Guards and Southern Rights Guards
passed through this city on yesterday eu route for
Virginia, via Augusta, where they expect to be
joined by the balance of the regiment. Success
attend them 1
or a bottle of essence of Jamaica ginger will
be found a pleasant aud healthful companion to
the soldier’s canteen, a corrective of bad water, a
preventive of diseases arising from change of wa
ter, and in all respects better than alcoholic stim
ulants. Think ot this, mothers, wives and sisters,
in filling up the outfit aud farewell tokens for the
departing volunteer.
The Savannah Republican says : We have learn
ed that at a meeting of the Hank authorities of S.i
vanuah, the following resolution was adopted with
but a single dissenting voice. On further reflec
tion no doubt the vote will be unanimous :
Resoled , That the Banks of this city will receive
in paymeut and on deposit the Treasury notes
which may be issued by authority of the Confede
rate States of America.
We have been informed that a like arrangement
has been made by all the Banks in Augusta.
J3F* It is now quite certain that Coriina9, the
Mexican bandit, has a large force organized for
the invasion of Texas. The Texas papers ray
that he is making war in the name of the United
States.
COL. I. G. SEYMOUR.
The Mobile Advertiser thus announces our old
friend and associate, (now Editor of the New Or
leans Bulletin), as in great demand, in the military
line. Every one who knows him in that capacity
can endorse it rjg m ■*£!** ~ ”
“ Gvehloapep with Honors.— There is great
competition between two Louisiana regiments
which have been accepted, as to which shall hare
that gallant veteran, Col. Isaac G. Seymour, pro
prietor of the New Orleans Bulletiu, for colonel,
both regiments selected him their colonel, but it
was not known which w ill secure him, as he is only
one luan, though with courage, genius and intel
lect enough for two, or even three. However,
tikis embarrassing question may be settled by ma
king Colonel Seymour a Brigadier General, and
then both regiments can have a share in him—the
dear old “Colonel,” wLo lias not an enemy in all
the wide world, save his countrv’s.”
One FvKErT or the Patent Law. —The law ic
relation to patents, which was passed a few davs
ago, says the Montgomery Advertiser of the 21st
instant, repeals all patents uot owned in whole or
in part by citizens of the Confederate States on the
4th of February last. Among those repealed by
this law is that for Morse’s Electric Telegraph.—
This is a mutter of some consideration to the old
Washington and New Orleans Telegraph Company,
as that patent represented half its stock, and the
patentees, S. B. Morse, Amos Kendall and F. O. J.
Smith, received half its dividend. It seems as if
the stockholders of this line should at once take
measures for a reorganization of the company, and
we mention the fact for the benefit of stockholders
who may not properly understand the terms of the
Patent Bill.
This is all just as it should be. The Government
should get nd of the telegraphic swindle as soon
as possible, and in addition strike the shackles
from Colt’s Patents, and others whose proprietors
have been bribing Congress for years for the lib
erty to phuider the public.
Southerners Travelling North.— ln times of
great public excitement, says the Savannah Repub
lican, a great many stories are invented in both
sections with the view of adding to the public
irritation. Os this class is the statement, generally
believed, that it is unsafe for a citizen of the Con
federate States to put his feet ou the soil of the
enemy. This is nqt true. Qf course It ia advisa
ble and best in times like these for southern men
to remain at home, hut in cases where thpir fami
lies are at the Nroth and they desire to bring them
home, or in any other urgent necessity, we have
no doubt of their ability to go and return with
perfect safety. The only condition is, attend to
your own business aud leave the affairs of others
alone.
W# know a number of gentlemen of this State
—some of them of this city—who have recently
gone North and returned without the slightest
molestation. We yesterday saw a letter front a
resident of Savannah now in New York, in which
he expresses his astonishment at the respect with
which he )* evgryyhere treated, after al) the blood
thirsty stories he had read iu tire papers.
REMOVAL TO RICHMOND.
Several papers have expressed their regret at
the removal of the Government to Richmond.—
The following intimations from the President of
Congress, in a speech made at Atlauta, in passing
through, are worthy of respectful consideration:
Mr. Cobb said :—“ We made all the necessary
arrangements to meet the present crisis. Last
night we adjourned to meet in Richmond on the
2<h of July. I will tell you why we did this. —
The “ Old Dominion,” as you know, has at last
shaken oft’ the bonds of Lincoln, and joined her
noble Southern sisters, ller soil is to be the bat
tle ground, and her streams arc to be dyed with
Southern blood. We felt that her cause was our
cause, and that if she fell we wanted to die by
her. We have sent our soldiers on to the posts
of danger, and we wanted to be there to aid and
counsel our brave “boys.” In the progress of the
war further legislation rimy Jjg and we
will be there when the hour of danger comeg, we
may lay aside the robes of legislation, buckle on
the armor of the soldier, and do battle beside the
brave ones, who have volunteered for the defence
of our beloved South.”
North Carolina.— The Ordinance of Secession
was unanimously adopted by this State on the
20t!i ult. This is the second time in her history,
that she has made this day illustrious. On the
20th ot May, 1775, the Convention then in session
at Mecklenburg, declared themselves free and
independent And during the long and arduous
struggle that followed that declaration, she bore
herself gallantly, and came out of the coutest
triumphantly. She will do so agaiu.
Death of Mr. 11. 11. Parkyn.
It is with regret that we record the death of 11.
11. Parkyn, Esq., a member of the Clinch Rifles of
this city, says the Augusta Constitutionalist. As
most of our readers already know, hfs death gras
caused by the bite of an adder, and the sad event
took place on Friday last, near Pensacola, where
his company is now stationed.
The Montgomery correspondent of the Tuskegee
Republic gives it as a current report, that on the
question of removing the seat of government the
States of Alabama, South Carolina and Florida vo
ted to retain it at Montgomery, and the other
State 9 for removal.
Jackson, the Virginia martyr, is the same gen
tteman who cut down the Lincoln and Ramlip pole
at Gccoquan, Prince William county, Virginia,
during the canvass of last year, and prevented it
being hoisted again.
LifIKKAL Appropriation. —At the regular term
of the Cass Inferior Court, held last Monday, an
appropriation of twenty thousand dollars was made,
to he expended in purchasing uniforms and for
the support of the destitute families of the Volun
teers. Well done, Cass.
CliY COUNCIL. \
We find the following among the proceedings
of the Council on the ‘2Bth ult:
The following resignation from Marshal Curn
iniug, was read and accepted :
Macon, May 28th, 1861.
To the Mayor and Aldermen
of the City of Macon :
Gk.nti.kmks :— As I am about to depart for the
Seat of War in Virginia, it becomes necessary for
me to resign the office of Principal Marshal of
your City. My mind will always recur with pleas
ure to the uniform kindness and gentlemanly treat
ment, that I have invariably experienced from
Vo or honorable bodv. With the hope that your
public duties may icst lightly upon you, and that
you mav individually enjoy a long life of useful
ness, prosperity and happiness,
I remain, yours respectfully,
J. B. GUMMING.
On motion, Aid. Granniss,
Rcsolvetl, That one hundred dollars be, and is
hereby appropriated to the benefit of the Sparks
Guards, who left the City this day ior Virginia—
aud that the Treasurer be authorized to pay the
same over to the commander of the Company.—

A si.p.itr Bnpsti AT Acquis Creek.— Frederick
burg, May 36. —The hall has been opened by thp
Lincoln Government in this aectiou of Virginia.
On yesterday evening (Wednesday,) about sunset,
a war steamer, supposed to be the
fire on the batteries at Acquia Creek, on Poto
mac River, which compliment was returned by our
batteries.
The filing was continued by the Pawuee until fif
teen shot, shell aud grape and canister discharges
had been made. Ou our part, twelve shot—solid
and shell— paid their respects to the Pawnee. The
steamer was about two miles out, so that the etiect
could not be told, but it was believed that several
struck, particularly she twelfth, which was a shell,
and it is thought fell on the deck—after which she
quickly moved oft'.
“Nobody hurt” on our sidj;, except young Mc-
Dougall of this place, yho was very slightly woqnd

ploded.— Richmond Whig.

TREASURY FOIES-
The Charleston Courier of Saturday lasi says - —
An additional proof of Mr. Metnnii: ger t ji
pjeripy and fig“}ant pppijietepee iji his arduous
ofljee has transpired since hia removal from Mont
gomery, on the way to Richmond. Re visited this
city, his home, for a few days, and while he ye sub
mitted to our Ranks a proposition which will sup
ply a currency so much needed throughout the
Confederate States. He proposes to issue Treasury
notes of all the usual denominations of Bask notes,
to be fundable whenever desired in 8 per cent,
bonds, the bonds to be reconverted into Treasury
notes whenever desired. As the Treasury notfl
are receivable for all dues of the Government be
sides, and will be available to pay the direct t*x
which Congress is to lay, they will afford a f > =■ !
and available currency everywhere.
We learp'that the Ranks have responded to tne
plan, by opeuing a credit to the Government in ad
vance, to be discharged by the notes when i-sutii,
and we hope soon to see lids new currency smti i
us. It would add to the speedy circulation of it
among our people, and to the credit of the Gov
ernment, convention of Banks, about to
meet at Atlanta, would determine to receive and
pay out these Treasury notes as currency, and. as
it will require fix weeks or two months to prepare
them, it would be a wise and patriotic movement
of the convention to offer the Government the use
of their credit in the mean time in the mam.'t*
proposed by the Charleston Bnnk3. The Govern
bient could discharge the gredit either by a ret a'?
ot the Rauk Notes, or a payment in Treasury
Notes, as may be deemed best.
Mobile It lockmtoil.
The turn of Mobile to feel her first blast of the
condign vengeance of Lincoln has come at last, lor
the blockade of our harbor was inaugurated about
eleven o’clock yesterday morning, when a large
war steamer appeared, and took her position to
command the ship channel entrance of the bay—
coming to about seven miles, more or less, of'* fort
Morgan.
We are apprised of this fact bv a gentlem |U
who came up from Fort Morgan yesterday. *
war vessel wjs tieen to bying-M a small craft .
oiling before the “ Carondelct left fort Morgan
with our informant. .
The Fort welcomed the blockading s tea pier >
displaying the United States flag —but it was
played union down, and floated from the same >t J
but below the “stars and bars ’ of the Contendai.
Joke on Lincoln !— Advertiser.
We are informed that the vessel alluded to
the Powhatan.
Geargiu Troops in tlie field*
Governor Brown informed us yesterday, -
the Atlanta Confederacy of Sunday, that ■
now had nine thousand men armed. equipped, a '‘
in the field; and that he had ordered Gen- *
lip’s brigade of 2.500 men to camp at SmJ rua
the 11th instant, on half pay, for drill loi
months— subjeet to the order of the Preamp 1 ’
any moment ; that two other regiments were *- ■
organized now, and that be should respon
demands made by the President without teg'*
the quota properly due from Georgia.
