Mf'P..'. F.os.: The object contemplated in this . .nieatian, is to direct the public attention to t.-ine -sity of active and thorough preparation, tbe ptrt f the people of - the Confederate ’ - to meet and repel any invading forces at , • - -outh of Virginia. That this may be at- j teep’ed, no reasonable man can for a moment > r.t* . .•. ai ,o that we are unprepared to resist, sue- j ttadalW, and aunihilate such forces, (and the j alter s.ould be our aim) is equally true and t: s’ uto every man who will bestow a moment’s j ’ >a upon the subject. Then, in the event of j policy oq the part of our enemies, our condi- ; p wouul not only be deplorable, but the end & total rout of onr armies aud the down s’ of the Confederacy. To my mind, a sad re ’ ke this, under a continuation of the present • i\- of things, with reference to this matter, may fate, instead of a >waiizatiou of the bright ’we have been wont to indulge in. There is Wpvriot, who has expended his money, given up >rt aud ease, and sacrificed his children upon if of bis country, that could now witness 1 ■ “-ttiug of the Star of the Southern Confeder *7 in di-aster and defeat. The same fervid pa’rioi!.-*, which was kindled by the firing of the Er ’ gun at Fort Sumter, still burns vividly in •very heart and auituaUs every bosom. Let the bite actuating and moving elements be kept alive on * true line of policy. I believe our Government, in the management of the war, have done their whole duty, and our hoop* have exhibited a valor and prowess of •sich any country might well be proud. They ave uift the enemy, aud nobly sustained the flag of ‘u<-ir country. The enemy has been made to fcti our power, bat whilst this is true aud satisfac lory, a short future may tell us of gigantic prepa r*tima and the movements ol large armies, at i ferent points, to lay waste our country, destroy oar property and subjugate u. Everything points ‘0 this direction. not only have no men to spare fiom the ‘■l Dominion, but, in all probability, will have to k ’ r. 4 ir.anv thousands more to protect the sanetitj ot her soil. Whilst the enemy can meet is there th an immense force, be can, at the same time, -* ul grand armies by water transportation, to the meat vulnerable points of our extended coast; tod the question presents itself to the mind, are *e ready, or even preparing, to meet the emer gency? 1 think not. The duplicity ot the reigo ia K despot, Abraham Lincoln, from the time of departure from Springfield, Illinois, to W ash ‘•'■STton City, should place Southern people upon ihetr guard. He is a traitor to ti utli and right, 4 1 is determined to accomplish his purposes *ithottt any scruples of conscience. For in their ! ‘rtherartee he is devoid of all scruples. He pro fe- to meet the rebellion in VirgitJa. Xo doubt ‘* *il! have hi* hands lull there. But it is Lise, ‘•liMion, to suppose that he will confine his Orations against us, to the soil of Virginia; and ‘ 00 other reason, simply, because he said he 1J ‘ 1, ia his message to his extra session of Coo lrwfe. There will be made, on the part of the ’ fl h, a demonstration sufficient for ua lo keep r ->: and powerful army in Virginia, but shall we be defenceless.at home? The landing of large forces to invade our country, can only be pre vented or repelled, ts done, by being prepared to meet them. It this war continues huv length of time, and these be noth in (he past declarations of the ruling party North, (and is this to be doubted?) we may expeef, as soon as untiring exertions aud fixed determinations will peimit, to have to submit lo the powers that lie North, or else oe prepared to contest the invading march upon our soil of the whole available force of our iuveterate enemies. In the view here presented, which I tielieve to be true, we are called upon by all that is sacred, to be up and doing. Dangers, however great, when real, should be met as the best, and indeed, the only means of averting them We man have and maintain a force in V irginia sufficient to hold onr position there, and to cope wuh the enemy in every respect. To this no one w:ii object, but all are willing to lend their*aid and respond to the wants of the country. We must meet the enemy there and hold him in check, and if need be, carry the war to his home. But as our whol; energies are directed to the present seat oi war, we may forget the security of our homes—this I believe, now to be the case. The wily and treacherous foe, with which we have to deal, is not slow to perceive and adopt the policy of preparing and fitting out Urge armies to make a descent upon the southern parts of our couutry. W e are not prepared to meet an invading foe composed of well-traiued soldiers, implacably hos tile, and determined to conquer. This necessary precaution, it seems to me, L* overlooked by our leading meu, aud by our people. This state of things should no longer continue, but should at once give place to an active, decided preparation’ based upon the prospective dangers aud jieiils in the future. Now, let the reader imagine fora moment, what a state ot things, in our present unprepared con dition, would arise and sptead among our people, were an invadii g foe to make a descent upon our coast, at various points, in the shape of a simulta neous attack. A panic would spread across the land, through its length and breadth, and the eud, were the eflect to stop short of our complete sub jugation, would be nothing less than the most deleterious. To make the very best of it, such a stroke ot policy by our enemies, would cost ua great and unnecessary loss of life and properly.— The most favorable view that reason would permit, is that it would not ouly cos. us men and money, 100 extravagaut in number and amount to make a reckoning, but would require time, years of toil aud a redoubled vigorous defence, to regain our lost position, and conciliate the good opinion of the world. Indeed, the injury sustained could never be fully repaired. An inch of ground lost in this contest may never be regained. I may over-esiimate the magnitude of this war, but if so, others fall below the mark as far as I go above it. YVe are contending against a foe pow erful iu strength, numbers and resources, and, according to our own avowals, (made apparent by extensive preparations) determined to restore the authority of the I nited States Government. Every mail able to bear arms should answer to the caii of the muster roll. All should, without a moment's delay, go to the sound of the drum and fife, undergoing at regular and stated times, mili tary drill and discipline, ready to meet any foe who should dare desecrate our soil. Thus pre pared, we would present an array of military strength that would be impregnable to any attack, giving security to our homes, and affording the best aud surest guarantee for a short war. Butler, Aug. 17, 1861. A. H. R. I lie Noiuiuatioii. Ed*. MtMMuger :—I see by the Columbus papers that the name of Col. James M. Chamiiers, ot Muscogee, has beeu suggested as emitted to the cousidcration of the Convention that is to put in nomination a candidate for Governor of Georgia. Many other names, also, are mentioned in connec tion with this place; and I am afraid the Conven tion will have a hard task to decide between the conflicting claims of a great multitude of good aud true men. No doubt any one of a dosen already named would make a good Governor. — I am greatly pleased, however, to see the name of CoL Chambers thus eatly brought out by some of his friends, and I heartily wish that all the people of Georgia had time, before the election, to inform themselves of the true merits of the man, and bis peculiar times* for the place uow to be filled.— Doubtless thousands of hb old friends in Putnam, Green, Hancock, Jones and Muscogee, and thou sands more in the counties adjoining hb present home, will rally to his support; and if be could be as well known in other sections as he is in these, he would carry a resistless current in his favor.— ■ There is not a man in Georgia better qualified for ; the position. He is emphatically oue of u*. A I Georgian every inch—a gentleman, a scholar, a patriot, a Christian ; and as far above the little peitv parlizau feelings, that too often control great ‘ men, as any man living. Besides, he is identified with the people in every way. His whole life has been, and is uow, directed to agricultural pursuits, fin which he is a master, aud the cause of education and religion has not a more devoted friend and : supporter. Such a man, we need at the head of lour State affairs. A thorough business man, a man of untainted character; a man dignified, re fined, polite iu all hb intercourse; yet, firm, de cided and unflinching in hb devotion to the princi ples of truth, justice and humanity. The farmers of Georgia would hold hb nomination as a pledge that parly spirit aud party interesfs were buried among the things of the past, and that anew and blighter day had dawned upon our State. COUNTRYMAN. rOK VHS JOIBNAL ANL> aTSSEXCSR. Old lmne aiid Old Politicians. J frx*r. Editor* : —The democratic presses and leaders have been opulent iu jtro/e**ioua of forget* fulness of old names and issues, whilst nearly all their acts show that they intend to monopolise the oilices of the country. Look at the Government of the Confederate Stales ! Look at the appoint oiea's of Gov. Brown! Why does he invariably select his own political friends? With all the other Slate House Ofticts filled by old democrats why did he not till the vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Boggess, with a co operation Whig ? Threason is self-evident. A few days ago I noticed an article in the Tele graph of this city, by some writer, in which he un dertook to dictate who should be sent to the State Convention as delegates from Bibb —and that in a certain contingency two setts of delegates would go. He also names a number of gentlemen for the Gubernatorial office, all of whom were old democrats and precipitators. In the Telegraph of Monday,a writer over the signature of “Justice,” urges the claims of Mr. Iverson as |>ecu!iarly meritorous because iu Congress “ he assumed and boldly maintained the ground, that the election of a black republican to the Presidency” ought to di-j-olve the Union. By paiity of reisoning, President Davis, Vice Pi evident Stephens, Judge Nisbet, Judge Warcer, Hon. B. 11. Hill, Linton Stephens, Major Hardeman and otheia —some of them now on the battle field, ought to be turned out of office, as of unsound record. We shall see whether the people will gratify Mr. Iverson and his friends with an endorsement of Ait record at the expense of patriotic co-operationists. I regret to see the question raised at this time, but the co operationists are prepared to met It. If the proscriptive reigu of the old, effete, democratic party is to be perpetuated—a party which built up the black republican party to a large extent, the people should know it. Oli> Link Whio. Interesting reading *UI be found on every page of the Afe**enger. “ WHITE FACES Iff THE FIELDS ” ” How pleasant it was to tee white faces in the fields,” exclaimed that abolition toady, Russell, when he reached Cairo, in the confines of Lincoln's government. The “ Christian spires rising in the distance,” aim “the growth of civilized communi ties,” which only came “under hi* eves” a* he neared the border* ol übolitiondoiu, refreshed his weary soul, previoudv, ?o long vexed by “ the warm, clammy breath of the South,’’ b? the sight “of the foul turkey-buzzard and hit lazy wheel” and the unpleasant necessity of being an “ inmate of a Southern hotel.” Away with such foreign trash, as the said Rus *ll —fytnf of the South. V\ e think the South played Ihe toady this time. When will she learn a lesson in regard to English tourists? The Release ot T. A. H. Nelson. The following Telegram was received by Dr. J. G. M. Ramsey, from President Davis: Richmond, Va., Aug. 13. Dr. ./. O. M. Ramxey , Knoxville : Your* received. Mr. Nelson has acknowledged his obligation, as a citizen of the State of Tennes see, to submit to her late decision ; and upon bis pioim.*e to act hereafter in accordance therewith, I have ordered hb release. JEFFERSON DAYI9. Savannah Defences.—ln response to numerous enquiries propounded through the press of the interior, says the Savannah Republican of Mon day, we would simply say that within a week from to day no Federal fleet will be able to enter a haibor or inlet, or effect a landing of troop 9, on the coast of Georgia. Month after month elapsed and the State, with a'l the boasting of its Chief Executive Officer, and with over a million in his hands for the pur pose, did absolutely nothing for our protection.— The Confederate authorities, to whom the matter has been turned over, have recently been indus triously at work, and the fortifications, all along the coast, are nearly completed. No Rice to me Exported.—An important coin mercial regulation has been adopted by Congress, in its enactment of the extension of the prohibi tion of the exportation of cotton, except through the Confederate ports. The extension covers rice, sugar, molasses and syrups. The prohibition is to be continued during the existence of the blockade, and is fortified by several penalties, amounting to fine and imprisonment of the person violating the same, and the forfeiture to the Government of any steamboat or riilroad car engaged in the transpor tation of these staples into an illegal port. “ Manassas.” —The Rev. L. A. Ware, of Rich uiotid, Virginia, in a portion of his prayer opening the proceeding* of the Confederate Congress on the 25th ult., referring to the thanks ascribed to God for our late great victory, besought that he would so impress the hearts of the people with a sense of his providence and goodness, that the name “Manassas” should always remind them of its scriptural signification, which was: “ God hath made h to forget all otr trouble*.” Lincoln has issued his proclamation declaring commercial intercouse with the seceded States to be unlawful, floods going to or coming from the seceded States, either by land or rvater, without Chase’s special permit, are declared forfeited ; also, any vessel or vehicle conveying the same, or per son* to or from said States; and that from and after fifteen days from the issuing of the proclamation, all vessels or ships belonging in whole or in part to citizens or inhabitants of said States, found at sea, or in any United States port, will be forfeited. Georgia Taxes for 1861.—Our taxes for the support of Government last year amounted to $400,000. Iu order to meet the extraordinary expenses of the present year, the Legislature au thorized a levy of $600,00tl instead of $400,000, and iu order to raise that sura the assessment de termined on is ten aud a half cents on the hunderd dollars. Hon. T. A. R. Nelson.—lt seems that thi* gen tleman, convinced that “ prudence is the better part of valor,” has given over hb treasonable folly. The Richmond Whig of Tuesday says, having given satisfactory pledges to the authorities, re specting his future conduct, he ha.* been relevsed, and will return home and deport himself a good citizen. Importation or Arms.—A New York paper says: “Arms continue to arrive at this port by nearly every steamer. The City of Baltimore , which came in yesterday, brought two hundred and six cases, aud the Borusxia , which arrived at the same time, seventy-five. A part of the latter cousista of Enfield rifles, purchased by General Freuioul.” Some statements are going the rounds of the press that the blockade at Louisville has been re laxed or partially abandoned. We have been favored with the following private dispatch from a mercantile house in Nashville ol the highest standing to one of the most prominent merchants in Atlanta, which shows the report to be untrue: “Nashville, Aug. 16.—Coffee i* 30 cents. The blockade at Louisville is more rigid than ever.” I'fy” The “fast” preachers of New York held a meeting, last week, for the purpose of protesting against fighting battles on Suudays. Rev. Dr. Tyng was conspicuous iu it. They took the ground that a battle begun on that day is sure to be lost to the side beginning it. This is one the last if not the best of reasons for the defeat at Manassas. Bf.alregarh’s Religion.—Gen. Beauregard is a Catholic. It b said that on the morning of the battle, prayer was offered to Almighty God, and the holy sacrament administered to the General and imiucuse numbers of his meu. ry The Northern journals continue to report the holding of peace meetings in the “rural dis tricts,” away from the excitement of large cities and towns. Sixty-four clerks in the Departments at Washington who were arraigned at the requisi toiiul tribunal (Mr. Potter’s) silling in the “Star Chamber,” (No. 5,) have refused to take the oath of allegiauce. Charleston Enterprise.—W e take the follow ing paragraphs from the Charleston Courier: Any person capable of directing and superin tending a Glass factory (bottles) will find it advan tageous to open correspondence, immediately, with geutlemen of this city who are contemplating that enterprise. Communications, with references, may be addressed lo the Courier office. An enterprising fellow-citizen has determined to undertake the manufacture of salt in or near the city. It is said that the portly member of Congress, described by Mr. Raymond, as falling from his horse, turning pale, Ac., was no other than the redoubtable Senator Gen. Wilson, of Massachu setts. He went t see the battle in Gen. Scott’s carriage, but got scared, abandoned it and took to horse. This explains the dispatch saying that the Confederates took a carriage bearing the crest, Ac., of Gen. Scott.— Jlbany Argus. Postmasters in Georgia anh South Carolina. Richmond, Aug. 2.—The following Postmasters have beeu confirmed in Georgia: Atlanta—Thomas 0. Howard. Savannah—Solomon Cobcu. Albany —E. Richardson. Madison—Win. Woods. Athens—Thomas Crawford. Columbus—U. M. Jeter. Gaiffin —Martin A. Bowden. IN SOUTH CAROLINA. Columbia —Jas. B. Glass. Charleston —Alfred Huger. Camden—Thos. W. Pegues. Georgetown—Wm. McNulty. A Zouave’s Opinion of Southern Fighting.— One of the Lincoln soldiers, who left Virginia's soilon Sunday night week, to return to it no more, on be ing asked if he still thought the Southerners couldn’t tight answered: “No, sir they don’t fight. I’ve seen|fighting in Europe, Mexico and in tho Uni ted Slates,bull never saw aiiyfighting like that of the rebels. The? don’t fight—they just come down like all h—ll upon you. Talk about subduing them! You might as well put h—U in harness and attempt to run against that.” Mews from Europe. Nkw York, August 18th.—The Bohe mian is at Farther Point. The City of W ashingtou and Hibernia had arrived out. Liverpool (’otton Market. —Sales of the week were 63,000 bales with an advance of an eighth. The market closed easier, and the advauce was barely maintained. Specu lators took 19,000 and exporters 10,000 bales. Quotations unchanged. Fair Or leans 9}; Middlings Bs. Consuls 90} to 902. The Bohemian brings the first European response to the Bull Kun fight. The Lon don Times is bitterly sarcastic on the North, and declares the nut of Southern rebellion a very hard one to crack. It fears that the question of the blockade will involve Eng land in very difficult complications. Lord Palmerston says that the entrance of any duty paying vessel to any blockaded port wipes out the blockade. Belligerents may seal all ports, but when they let in a siugle vessel, the right of blockade is gone. The London Herahl says that on the re ceipt of the news, the Emperor Napoleon resolved to reeognize the Southern Confed eracy. Ten Broeck won the Brighton stakes. From Kieliiuwiul-i'onft'tlerale lax law. Richmond, Aug. 19. — The President ap proved to-day an Act authorizing the issue of Treasury Notes, and providing a war tax for their redemption. The Act authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury, underspecified conditions, to issue Treasury Notes to an amount not exceeding one million. For the redemption of these Notes it pro vides for a tax of 50 cents on every hun dred dollars’ worth of real estate, slaves, merchandize, bank and other stock, money at interest excepting Confederate bonds. It also taxes at the same rate cash in hand, cattle, gold watches, silver plate, pianos, pleasure carriages, &c. Any family whose property is less than SSOO is exempt from taxation, Colleges, schools and charitable institutions arc also exempt. The act was passed unanimously. A few war rumors are afloat, but they are unfounded. The Great Bailie near K)n iiyli#lll. Memphis, August 10—Special despatches from Little ltoek this morning bring dates from Fort Smith to the 14th inst. ‘J he news of Gen. Ben McCulloch’s victo ry in Missouri is fully’confiruted. The fight occurred on Saturday, eight miles south of Springfield. The enemy took the Confederate pickets prisoners, and surprised the main body, when a bloody and desperate encounter en sued, with great loss on both sides. Five regiments of Missourians were thrown into a panic and fled. Gen. Price made two ineffectual efforts to rally them. The Second Louisiana regiment fought gallantly and suffered much. Gen. Price led the Third and Fifth Ar kansas regiments in person, and made a splendid charge. Lefler from Bon YlcCiilloeli A letter from Ben McCulloch, dated the 11th, says : “The victory is ours- The bat tle lasted six hours and a half. Our loss is great. Gen. Lyon is among the dead. *We took six pieces of artillery from Seigel, des troyed his command and captured many prisoners and small arms. I cannot give particulars, but write this to correct reports circulated by those who fled from the field.” [Sigued]* BEN McCULLOCH, Brigadier-General Commanding. St. Tajuis, August 14.—The Federalists have taken possession of the police office in this city. The home Guards are under arms. It is understood that Gen. Fremont will declare martial law. Freemont has borrow ed two hundred and fifty thousand dollars from the St. Louis hanks. Heavy seige guns are being mouuted, commanding the approaches to the city. Death of Gen. Lyon Confirmed.— Washington August IL—The War Depart ment is iu receipt of official information touching the great battle near Springfield, Mo., and the death of Gen. Lyon. Col.

The citizens of Bibb County met at the Court House this day, in pursuance of a Call published in the city papers for the selection of delegates to represent the county, in the Convention to beheld in Milledgeville on the 4th of September, to nom inate a candidate for Governor, and electors for President and vice President. The meeting was organized by the election of Hon. TG. Holt as Chairman, and E. C. Grier as Secretary. In consequence of the very heavy rain that had fallen during the morning, but few of the citizens from the country were in attendance ; it was therefore moved and carried that tho meet ing adjourn, to assemble again at the Court House on Wednesday the 21st inst, at 11 o’clock A. M. and that all the citizens of the County be requested to attend, and that the proceedings of this meeting be publhhed in the city papers. T. G. HOLT, Chairman. F,. C. Grier, Secretary. August 17th, 1861. Federal Loss at Manassas. —The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Exchange writes: Although the official reports of the various commanders engaged in the battle of the 21st ult. have been received, the Secretary of War has given positive instructions to suppress their publi cation. More proof than this of the fact of the immense loss of the Federals is hardly needed. — Any one who chooses to compute the number of returned in each regiment can easily be satisfied that the Federal statements of the lost are inten tional falsehoods. Bo the real danger is carefully concealed from the masses; for the administration well knows that men, though starving, cannot be persuaded to rush to certain death to avoid the risk of becoming beggars and perhaps, in many instances, criminals. Tribute of Kcspect. . Sixth Regiment Georgia Volunteers, ) Yorktown, Va., Aug. 9th, 1861. ) At & meeting of the Twiggs Guards, the follow ing preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted. Whereas, The Almighty in lli9 infinite wisdom has called from our midst in the prime of manhood, our Sergeant, J. 11. Bush. We, the members of the Twiggs Guards, feel it incumbent upon ns, to attempt ail expression of our feelings at this sad bereavement, iu bis death a vacum has been made which can never be tilled. Asa man, be was upright, courteous and always governed by feelings of the most enlarged benevo lence. For him to do a friendly act, or confer a favor, was but natural, within the range of our acquaintance we knew of none with brighter pros pects for future usefulness than he. But “ death loves a shining murk.” Asa citizen, he always felt the deepest interest in the welfare of his country, and ever ready to protect her ; as 4th Seatgeant of our Company, he was prompt, energetic and pru dent. Be it therefore Resolved, That in this di9pensa tion of Providence, we are called upon to mourn the loss of one, who by bis manly bearing and amiable disposition, won the warmest admiration and secured the deepest affections of all who knew him. Resolved, That we shall ever hold in the liveliest remembrance, his many virtues and bear in mind his kindness towards hia fellow comrades. Reso'oed, That for his widowed mother and be reaved sisters, we offer our most siucere condo lence, fur iu his death they have lost that which none but a mother aud sisters can feel. Resolved , That a copy of these-g roceedings be forwarded to his bereaved mother and sisters, and that the Macon papers be requested to pub hsh them. Special Notice.
