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.

Alfred Huger P. M. [ Charlcston Courier. 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 York or Poston or in the dead letter office in \\ ashingtou, until the parties to whom ad dressed make arrangements for the payment of the postage there.

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.— Passed. / 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 ed in the arm by a piece of shell which had ex ploded.— Richmond Whig. Cov. Wise has been commissioned by the President to raise a Legion for the Confederate service.

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. .
