At the adjourned meeting held at Concert liall tt Monday last, the following preamble aud reso lai'ons were adopted by a large majority, as tbe s** ; of the meeting, and we trust will prove utory to ail parties. We have not space for tbe important act recently passed by Ci ;ri ‘S bearing upon this subject, but think it toer- the whole ground. It shall appear iu our Brit. In the meantime, let all good citizens, everywhere, respect and uphold the laws, and ferret out and bring to the proper tribuual all - i-iu'iou 5 and disloyal persons: Preamble uutl Besetiilimis.

Ihe recent elections show that nearly all the opposition has melted away, an i the most disaffected are now among the for most iu rushing to the field of battle to : ; i the enemies of their country. iu Georgia, where there was almost entire Uu .airnity in passing the secession ordinance, • ;it noble rivalry bus ever since beeu ex urnoug our people in every communi r* to the Government, and Miubhing xneu aud money for carrying on r c war, we cun hardly believe it nece?>arv -Muire of our citizens uuy other or higher fv-.ienee of their allegiance to the tVovlrn ita t or their patriotic devotion to the cause ifi which we are engaged. Mill, a> all coinuiuuities are liable to have their bosoiu bal men, who would gia<l of the opportunity to work mischief, wil, as v?e are not likely to be more exempt U;!| “thers, we think it the duty of all our titu. .j~, iu tlie absence of so uiauv of our ymug mou, to be constantly on the alert, to ‘‘it'll with sleepless vigilance everything t- tran-pires within the city, and par ..arly to scrutinize the conduct cf all t enuous jnrsons, and in all cases, where tue) may have reason to believe that persons 1-iVt- 1 en guilty of or may meditate, any - liievous act, which would endanger the F*ce or security of the city, promptly to re \ rt tbe same to the city authorities, in or ur that the parties so offending may he pro- P'-riy dealt with.

Aa up Cos the time of going to press, we have received no authentic copy of the proceedings of the meeting, it tnav be proper to remark that the foregoing preamble and resolutions were presented by Col. J. li. K. Washington, as a substitute for the majority and minority reports of the commit’ tee—the majority- comprising Messrs. J. M. Green, Ju-ey, E. C. (irier and T. R.

Judge Holt, the other member of the committee was for referring the whole subject back to the meeting of citizens. The Run at Manassas. —The Cincinnati Enquirer announces the sudden arrival of on* Eggiestou, on change—just in from the great race, and the cry was “ A speech ! a sp.*ceh f r „ tn Ben.

Mass Commercial and Financial Convention. To the merchant., Bnh„, Hnd 01h ,. r . of le Canted rale Niat, of Antrim. The. >r .wo object. which we desir# u rfw;| Os Ihe momentous r ufr *te Which ts „ow pendm*. One U Political, the other is Commercial ami Ficaocial. The Rrst h been thoroafhly oryan ze.l an.l under the direction of the ablest minds in our Confederacy, anJ with the bles-iiuRS of God, appears to be rapidly progressing to a satisfactory conclusion. The second, andXn our estima tion the greatest and most importantt, h’* not, as yet, an organization, and is in great danger of being lost by the successor the first—before any well digested plans hare been adopted for its attainment. We feei it to be our duty, therefore, to ourseirea and our country, to seek to awaken the putlk mind to the incalcula ble importance of seeing to it, that our forces are promptly mustered and well equipped for the coining struggle, our plan* thoroughly discussed and well matured, that by prompt and combined action when the movement shall be made, we shall ensure entire success and become as we seek to be, not only politically, hut commercially and financially UHii l i*drf>rnd<nt Have we not the skill and energy in our Confederacy which is needful to conduct oor commercial and financial affairs as well abroad as at home? If not, w e fear we must be content as heretofore, to allow them to remain in the hands of, and be conducted by others. Shall the profits arising from our immense trad, with foreign countries continue to How into the hands of those *ho are inimical to our ,^a C e and welfare, or shall the benefits arising therefrom be retained by and transmitted as a rich legacy to our children * A mighty and systematic effort has been made by Mer chants and Bankers at the North o transfer to, and engross almost the entire profits of Southern trade in their own hands. Orr institutions have been derided to the world in the hope that by this means they might drive from us the sympathies of other commercial nations, and obstruct, if uot wholly prevent i/i/vcf int, r.-ounm between us and them. With the-e facts before us, is it not time we should awaken to the vital importance of instant, wise and decided action upon this subject t One of tbe greatest obstacles in the way of the establish ment of tlirret trm!f with foreign countries—immediately upon the opening of the porta of our Confederacy—is the fact that our Merchants are comparatively unknown in foreign markets, and have no credit established there. Al though, fAey.rotfu.*, oftU Souther* State* have conrtitu teU the lni*i* of credits and eeechange between the late ( nit.-d States and those nations for more than a half centu ry ; in a financial and commercial sense, we are unknown to each other—our bills of exchange has been drawn by Xortbern Houses, and the vast amountof their productions consumed by us—imported through the same channel—so little have we been known in these transactions, that years would be required in the ordinary course of events, to build up that trade and establish that confidence which is abso lutely necessary in commercial transactions, which are sounded on a system of credits. it is clear, therefore, that some extraordinary measures tuust be devised, to enable us la free ourselves from these Impediments to our commercial credit and indei>endence, and prevent falling back into the old channel as soon as our ports are again open. It is, moreover, desirable that our product*, other than our great staple, should be fully made known to the world, and the great advantage to foreign nations of a direct trade with us, and we should all unite our effort* in the promotion of tfc's great work. We, therefore, cordially invite the Merchants, Bankers and o.hers of the Confederate States, to meet us in Mass Convention, in the City of Macon, on the 14th day of Octo ber next, for the purpose of devising some plan for estab lishing a system of credits between the Confederate States of America and Foreign countries, which may be practicable and available to all desiring to use it, and which will also command the hearty support of the citizens of our whole country. We earnestly invite the assistance and co-operation of the press of the Confederate States In bringing the subject lolly before the people and the presence of its members on the occasion named. We would also, respectfully suggest to the various Cham bers of Commerce and other Societies within the Confede racy, organized for similar purposes—the propriety of ap pointing Committees at an early day for the purpose of a due ami deliberate investigation of this important subject, and proposing some plan to be submitted to tke Convention at its meeting. Very respectfully, WM. B. JOHNSTON, Preaid’t, Macon Chamber of Commerce. Uexkt L. Jewett, Sec’y, Macon Chamber of Commerce. Macon, Georgia, July 29th, 1 6 61. Arrest of T. A. R. Nelson.—Quite an excite ment prevailed on our streets yesterday, says tbe Knoxville Register, growing out of a rumor, which was subsequently confirmed, that Mr. T. A. R. Nelson, the avowed candidate for the Lincoln Congress at the late election, had been arrested in Western Virginia, hy citizeus of that State while endeavoring to make his way to Washington.— The remainder of the worthy trio, viz: Mujnard and Bridges, seem to have been more fortunate getting through the mouatsius and to Kentucky. Mr. Nelson chose to try to run tlie gauntlet ot Western Virginia, ms iikrn, and will proMij be sent to Richmond, where he will either take the oath of allegiance to the Confederate States and Uke bid sent iu the Confederate Congress, or be dealt with as the law and the facts in his case may determine. The same paper says: As far as heard from tbe Southern cause has gAined id every county iu East Tennessee, since the June election. This fact, however, should not mesmerize the Southern Rights men. The danger of civil war iitjiot lessened Uy this decreased vote. The issue was fairly made up in every District.— Those who voted ag.inst ihe permanent Constitu tion and for Representatives to the Congress of the U. S., have publicly declared in favor of rebel lion. Soldier*’ l* lief Society.

Manassas, Va., July 21, 18* > 1. Sir :—Appreciating your services in the battle of Mauas-ut*, and on several other occasions during the existing war, as affording the highest evidence of your skill as a commander, your gallantry as a soldier, and your zeal as a patriot, you are promo ted to be General in the Army of the Confederate States of America, and with the consent of the Congress will be duly commissioned accordingly. Yours, lie., Jeff. Pat is. Gen. G. T. Beauregard, kc., Ac., kc. The Confederate Prisoners.—. The Cincinnati , Commercial says : In order to explain a point concerning which the public do not seem to have correct informa- • tion, we remark that the Government will not recognize the Southern Confederacy by exchang ing prisoners; but will release all—excepting those who have been officers in the United Slates Army and Navy—wrho will give parole not to bear arms against the United States, and who will not give information to the enemy. Weather, Crops, kc. —For the past week, says the Albany Patriot, we have had daily storms and heavy rains. The weather now seems blight and clear. Planters are gathering their cotton crops, which are very promising. Health of the country good. The EmctEST Blockade. —The Apalachicola (FU.) Times of the S<l mst., iu its marine column, under the head of vessels in port, announces the ship Finland, Capt. Jones, 450 tons, from Liver pool, just arrived and commenced dischaigiug. The Federal Government has purchased the steamer James Adger, and has under considera tion the purchase of the steamers Augusta and Alabama. Major General McCall, of Pennsylvania, has been appointed to a Brigadier Generalship in the Federal army. He was a-Colouel in the army at one time, and was brevetted iu Mexico. The Irish census records the fact of another decline in the population of that country, amount ing to about three quarter* of a million of pereona in ten year*. [Special Despatch to the Savannah Republican.} IlHiii|ton Deslroyed. Great Hethel, August 9 town of Hampton was destroyed on Wednesday by the Confederate forces under Gen. der. Every house, including the old Col onial Church, the oldest ou the continent was burnt. The Federal pickets were driven iu by the X irg.ma Cavalry and Infantry and five of toe enemy killed and one of our men wounded. The Torch was applied to Hamp ton by the \ lrgiuia troops and Hampton ians. for three days Magruder offered battle in front of Newport News, showing himself plainly to the enemy, who refused to come out, though twice our uumber. Our camp was withiu two miles of the euemy’s en trenchments aud in sight of the ships, where they could have shelled us, but uot the slightest demonstration was made. We could not attack their entreuchments to any advantage, for if taken they could uot be held in the face of a bombardment from the Federal fleet. If the enemy should come out of his works, he will be whipped off the peninsula. Richmond, Ya., August 12.—1 tis gen erally admitted here that the Confederates burned Hampton. It is reported this mor ning that the train to Manassas last night collided, killing and wounding about twen ty of Wigfall’s command. No particulars received. Rk hmond, August 12th.—An accident occurred on Sunday night at ten o’clock, about seventeen miles from Richmond on the Manassas route. A land slide occurred deluging the rails, and eight ears with sol diers were smashed and shivered to pieces. Two Companies from Louisville, Kentucky, are the principal sufferers. New Orleans, August 12th. — On Satur day the third, the blockading schooner Dart exchanged five or six shots with the batter ies at Galveston Island, doing nj damage on either side. On the afternoon of the sth, the Sauth Carolina left her usual station, and sailed almost withiu rifle shot of the batteries, which opened fire upon the stea mer. ‘The Steamer Carolina answerd, threw shells over the city, which exploded in the air, doing no material injury. A shell ex ploded among the lookers-on near the bat teries, killing one and wounding two or three. Borne twelve or fourteen shots were exchanged, when the steamer withdrew. It is believed that the Carolina was struck ou her side, and her pivot gun capsized.— < Jreat indignation prevails at the outrage ous attempt to bombard the city without no tice. Confederate Privateer Sunk.—The New York Herald has the following : Philadelphia, z\ugust 7.—The U. S. gunboat Flag arrived at Fort Mifflin this morning with 30 rebel prisoners taken from a rebel war vessel, formerly the revenue cut ter Aiken, seized at Charleston last winter. The Aiken fired at the St. Lawrence off Charleston, prpbably mistaking her for a merchant vessel, when the St. Lawrence re turned a broadside, sinking the rebels.— Five of the crew were lost, and the rest were rescued and placed on board the Flag. The rebel vessel was called the Petrel un der her new commission. Tlie broadside from the St. Lawrence cut her completely in two. The prisoners are on their way to this city on the steamer Flag and will be placed in custody of the Marshal. Col. Ector’s Regiment.—Wo have been kindly furnished by a friend with the follow ing interesting particulars of Col. Ector’s Regiment, which has recently left our State for the seat of war, Richmond. He has in his Regiment twelve Missionary Baptist Preachers, one Hardshell, and one Metho dist, and any quantity of Doctors and Law yers, ami four hundred and fifty men over six feet high. Col. Ector says he has not Lean! an oath from an officer since tlie or ganization of tlie Kegimeat. This we con sit’er highly commeodiblci Can such men be conquered ? Never. The only way to whip them is to exterminate them. Ector’s Regiment will no doubt do credit to the State of Georgia. It has our best wishes for its success on every battle-field.— Grif fin Geonjian. A Kentuckian’s Opinion—The fol lowing is an extract from a letter, dated Kouisville, July 27th : Kx-Gov. Morehead, speaking of the late triumph in Virginia, in conversation with my son this morning, said : “This battle is decisive of the question between the North and South —that the seceded States cannot be subjugated, and that the present dynasty in Washington is hopelessly and forever ruined.” You doubtless know that Ex-Gov. Morehead is one of the most intelligent and respected men in this State, and I may add, most popular. TEST OATHS AND VIGILANCE COMMITTEES. The Savannah Republican of yesterday contains an excellent article under this caption, which closes as follows : These extra judicial proceedings are liable to great abuse, depending, as they do, wholly for their character upon the opinions of the time be ing, which may be right or wrong ; and a commu nity cannot be too cautious, bow, and under what necessities, they resort to them. We are pleased to see that our Congress has taken the matter in hand, anti provided legal means for the correc tion of evils that may threaten our safety. The law will be found on this page, and since its pas sage we see no use for vigilance committees, ex cept to ferret out offenders and bring them before the regularly constituted tribunals of the country. Tbe New York Tribune of the 30th, in a long article commending the Lincoln troops for their bravery, fortitude, endurance, and capacity for long march** , closes by saying—“ The victory, in the best seuse, is, after ail, with us.” That’s what we call refreshing for hot weather. If the Lincoln iles make such a race as that from Bull’s Run, after a victory , what would they do if once whipped ? We suppose they would ruu till there was nothing left of them but boot heels, finger and toe nails and a bunch of hair.— Chron. dt Sent. Lieut. John R. Felder, of the Southern Rights Guards, Houston county, died of TANARUS) phoid Fever, in camp at Monterey. His remains passed through this city on Friday last, accompanied by the sor rowing father of the deceased. Mr. F. was a high-toned Christian gentleman as well as a gallant soldier, and his kindred and irieuds have our sincere condolence. Not yet Focnd.—W. B. Ainsworth is the only member of the Macon Guards, whose fate is not known. His brother, H. B. Ainsworth, advertises in the Richmond Enquirer , of the sth, for infor mation concerning him. When last seen he was leaving the battle ground at Manassas, badly wounded. Confederate Judge.— The telegraph announces the appointment of Edward J. Harden, Esq., of this city.aa* the Savanuah Republican, Judge of the Confederate Court, for the District of Georgia, vice Hon. Henry R. Jackson, resigned. Mr. Harden, is an old practitioner at our bar, a close student, a sound lawyer, and an upright man. We congratulate him upon the receipt of so distin guished an honor, and have no doubt that his ad ministration of the law will be impartial, and accep table to the country. Georgians Ahead.— The Charleston Mercury savs the advance guard of Gen. Johnston’s army, now squinting very hard towards Maryland, is said to be Col. Charles J. Williams’ Ist Regiment of Georgia Regulars. Mary 'and is a fine country v and we hope our boys will be pleased with it, Russell ox the Retreat.—Last Sunday after noon, Mr. G. P. Putnam of this city and a friend were leisurely walking on tli£ road betweea Fairfax and Centreville, Virgininia, at a point where a Michigan legiment was drawn up across the road. At tbis moment, troui the direction of Centreville there came rushing onward a confused mass of transportation aud artillery wgons, ambulances, congressmen, carriages, horsemen, pedestrians, Ac., all in headlong tiigbt, on the way to Washing ton on “important business.” Among these a soli tary horseman, English as to his aspeois, aud fat and ruddy as to bis appearance, galloped up with great rapidity, and demanded in stammering tones a passage through the line. His stammering utter ance was more confused owing to the doubt iu his own mind whether be was at the mercy of a Union on a secession regiment. The Colonel refused to allow him to pa.-s,but finally yielded ou his asserting that he was civilian, and that lie had a pass from Gen.’Scott. The pass showed that he was Win, H. Russell, LL. D.,aud the pursy Englishman gave new meaning to the fateful day of “ Hull V’ run.— Commercial Advertieer.

[ Au thorizes the employment of four hundred thousand volunteers ] A Cook’s Report. —The following is from the j Bull Ruii correspoudeut of the Mississippiau : “ While Joe, a servant of Erskine Watkins, was cooking a chicken in a kitchen near the hospital, a ball passed near him and struck the skillet. In his report be said: ‘Bless God! Massa, 1 never saw de chicken after dat.’” Intemperance, which has caused more distress and misery than pestilence, or famines, should be treated as a disease, by supplying that to the sys tem which will stimulate and invigorate it without intoxicating, until it can sustain itself.
