sAnrnal & plcsscngrr. “” J. KNOWLES and S. HOSE, KDITOKS AND PROPRIETORS. Atlanta, September 4, 1861. To the People oj Georgia : We now have in the service of the Con federate States twenty-five Regiments and three Battalious, who have gone under State authority, and six or seven Independent or Confederate Regiments, who have gone un der direct tender to, and order? from, the S<*c retary of War, making together about 30,- 000 gallant Georgia troops Over 20,000 of this number are now in \ irginia. They are our fellow-citizens, our neighbors, oar friends, and our relatives. They are en during all the hardships and toilsof a soldier’s life, in defence of our wives, our children and our common country. Winter will soon be upon us; and it will be impossible for them to get especially in Virginia, with the juouey allowed them for that purpose, by the Confederate Government, such supplies of clothiug, shoes and blankets as are absolute ly necessary, in that severe climate, to their health and comfort. Shall we permit them to suffer for the necessaries of life, while we have plenty at home ? Never ? To prevent this I propose, at public expanse, to purchase for them, such supplies as can be had in Georgia, of such articles as are most essen tial. Some of our manufacturers axe making a good article of plain woolen cloth; others are making leather and shoes, while our la dies, who have acted so noble a part, are, in different parts of the State, making quanti ties of woollen jeans cloth. The soldiers need all we can spare. I wi*b to purchase for them 30,000 pair of good plain, serviceable shoes; and woollen cloth, including country jeans ; enough to make 30,000 suits of cloth ing ; together with all the good blankets that can be found in the market. I therefore invite all manufacturers of shoes or woollen cloth, who can assist in supplying the demand, and all persons hav ing good blankets for sale to inform me of the supply which each can furnish, and the price at which each article can be afforded. I also request the Clerk of the Superior Court in each county to act as agent, for the pur chase of woolen jeans from the ladies, and to inform me at an early day of the price of that article in his county. It is hoped that the ladies will use every reasonable exertion to make a supply of this very desirable and use ful article, and will furnish, delivered at the offices of the Clerks of the Superior Courts, at reasonable prices, all they can spare.— Prompt action is resjiectfully solicited. The supplies above mentioned arc* intended alike for all Georgians iu the service, wher ever they may be, embracing as well those who beloug to Independent Confederate Reg iments, as those who belong to regularly or ganized State Rcgimeuts. Assistance to be afforded first to those found to be most needy. Copies of this address will be forwarded to the Secretary of War with request that he send them to the Colonels commanding regi ments from Georgia, who are respectfully requested to report to me at the earliest day possible, such'necessities of those under my respective commands as cannot be supplied with the means at their disposal. I am informed that large numbers of sol diers, from this State, are now sick iu Vir ginia, faraway from their homes and friends. They must have prompt attention. A pa triotic and humane association of Georgian* at Richmond have taken steps to establish a Hospital there, for our sick and wounded.— They have informed me of the facts, and ap jscaled to me for assistance, and I have promptly ordered the funds which are neces sary to establish the Hospital to be placed at their disposal. They will need supplies of sheets, blankets, coverlets, aud such other articles as may be necessary to alleviate the sufferings, and add to the comfort of the sick and wounded. I appeal to the ladies of Georgia to take from their own household supply and send enough, at once to relieve the sick and wounded. Let the donations from each locality, be boxed and sent, with the names of the donors, and the use for which they are contributed, to Quarter-Mas ter General Ira R. Foster, at Atlanta, who will forward them to Virginia at public ex pense, together with any contributions which may be made to the soldiers by their friends. Citizens of Georgia, our cause is the cause of religion and humanity. The struggle in which we are engaged, is the struggle of a great and free people, to maintain the herit age of Liberty and Independence, transmik ted_ to us by our Revolutionary fathers of 1 1 The effort of the Lincoln Gowern inent is an effort to subjugate us to tyranny and oppression. The cause of the O.nfeder ate States is the cause of every patriotic citizen of the South. We belie ve God is with us, and presides iu our councils. us try to live near to Him and iuinlore His continued favor. We have at the helm of State, the distinguished SU’ e! * luan aud in vincible warrior, Jefferson ‘Davis. By his ride we havo Georgia’s owr , great Statesman, Alexander H. Stephens. They are worthy of our fullest confidin’ -e. Let us all with one heart and mirri, by universal acclama tion, coutiuue tb.ern in the proud position tiiey now occupy. r fheir success is our suc cess, their defeat would be our defeat! At the call of the our troops have rallied to their country’s standard, and are ready to shed tb eir blood if need be, in their country s cause. They now call upon us for necessary supplies. The sick and wounded appeal to us for assistance. Shall the appeal be made in vain? I know it will not. I am very respectfully, ’ JOSEPH E. BROWN. * Ca* of Hr. Faulkner'!i Arrest. (From the National Intelligencer.) We understand that Mr. Faulkner received information from the War Department on Thursday last that he was detained as a hos tage for the return of Messrs. Harris and Magrew, who went to the Confederate camp fur the purpose of recovering the body of the late Col. Cameron. We are sure that our readers will be glad to learn that the arrest of this distinguished gentleman has not been prompted by any consideration relating to bis persoual de meanor as a citizen or as a foreign represent ative of the United States; and while it could have been wished, in justice to him and to the Government, that the grounds on which he is detained might have been sooner announced, we are sure that all will find fresh cause for condemning aud deploring the harsh and inhuman proceedings towards Messrs. Magrew and Harris, which have thus reached to the inconvenience and inju ry of the Ex-Minister. Mr. Fanlkner is now lodged in comforta ble quarters, and receives the cards of his friends; but is not permitted to have any further communication with them. “ Now, Gentlemen,” said Sheridan to his guests, as the ladies left the room are we to drink like men or like beaste ?” Somewhat indignant, the guests exclaimed. “ Like men of course.” “ Then,” he replied, “we are going to get jolly druuk, for brutes never drink more than they want.” From tbe Louisville Gazette. A Letter from Ex-Gov. Jolimon. Mr. Editor : I regret that absence from home, on Tuesday, the 20th inst., prevented me from attending the ineetiug, to appoint delegates to the convention, at Milledgeville, on the 11th of September. It would have saved the necessity of this communication. I duly appreciate the honor of being ap pointed one of the delegates to represent this county, and I thank my fellow-citizens for such an expression of their confidence. As far as I can learn from the public pres, the contest for the nomination will be personal, not involving any issue of princi ple, interesting to the public. I have no heart to participate in such a controversy.— Ail the gentlemen suggested as proper candi- • dates for the Executive office, are capable and worthy : and I am uot informed, from auy source, that they differ iu opinion, upon any question of political principle or policy. 1 It is important now. that we should ex- i liibit ourselves as a united people, not only in relation to our Confederate, but also our State policy. With this view, it would l>e 1 gratifying to see public opinion concentra ted upon a single man for Governor, and if the pro|)Osed convention would affect that ob ject, JL would cheerfully serve as a delegate from this county. But it is quite certain, ; that such will Dot be the case. If all the aspi rants would submit their claims to the con vention, and agree to abide its dec ision, then, indeed, would pnblic opinion be concentra ted. But there is no such agreement. If I understand Governor Brown’s position, he is virtually an independent candidate; he will not be bound by the action of the Conven tion, and therefore, his name, I presume will not be before it. But the Convention will nominate, which will insure two candi dates, at least, in the field. There will probably be a large portion of the people unrepresented in the Convention. Whether from indifference or negligence, or positive disapproval of the Convention, it matters not , but being unrepresented, they will not feel bound to abide its nomination. This will probably bring out a third—possi bly, several other candidates. Hence, the result, iu the end will be simply this: every man will vote as may please him, irrespec tive ojlhe action of the Convention. These reflections induce me to decline a seat iu the proposed Convention. I prefer not to participate in the contest for the nomination, l uder existing circumstances, I will not be trammeled. The times demaud the devoted patriotism of every citizen, aud under the guidance of such a conviction, I shall vote for that man, for the Executive office, whose elevation I may deem best cal eulated to promote the public welfare, irres pective of all partisan or jiersoual considera tions. Respectfully. Hkkuchel V. Johnson. August 2Gth, 18G1. From the Atlanta Southern Confederacy. A tom cation. Gentlemen: Permit an humble citizen of the State of Georgia to be heard one time as to our State affairs. Soon we must elect a Governor. Two worthy men are now out as candidates for the office, viz: Col. J. M. Chambers, of Columbus, and Jos. E. Brown, the present incumbent. That, in all reason, is enough. Ido hope and pray that as we have such a fair chance for a good Governor iu either, that no other candidate will be brought out. Further, Idc hope that neith er of them, uor auy oue else will be nomina ted by a “Convention.” These “Conven tions,” got up by a moiety of the people, have foisted more sorry men on us to fill the various offices of State, than has been elected by any other cause. The sole object, gener ally, is to find an “ available man of any party.” For oue—and there are many oth ers of the same mind—l had rather vote for any other tnan than the nominee of a clique, other things being nearly equal. Again : 1 beg and beseech the editors and writcis in our Georgia papers, not to abuse or berate either of those clever men, or, iu fact, any others—if such there be who may become candidates for office. Further, if they should do so, I hope their subscribers will rebuke them by withdrawing their pat ronage. I have been mortified to see several “ flinga” of a very unwise, and, as I take it, urx-alled for character, whilst only one man’s name is before us. As Gov. Brown seems to be a favorite with such men, they seem to think the beat way to run the race is to k?ep others off the track by throwing clods aad chunks hither and thither. That is bad jiolicy aud no better honesty. To every body, I say, let us, for once, have an honest, honoroble race in Georgia for Governor. If we have this, I shall be quite pleased if either of the men now out, or any other one as clever and competent, is elected. P . [From the Atlanta Confederacy.] Editors Confederacy: I am glad to see that your valuable journal has also set its face like a flint against the corrupt and abominable practice of party caucussing, (but another name for party juggling,) which has so long disgraced and cursed our noble old State. Stand fast, be firm, and thou sands will rally to your help, and “King” Caucus will bite the dust. So mote it be. Oh, how I have longed to see the day when the voice of the peeple shall be heard and respected in the choice of the men that make and execute our laws. 1 know uot that I shall ever see that day. I fear and tremble when I think of the formidable opposition to be overcome. There are such hosts in arms against us whose bread and butter would be lost, if the people could be heard. But I hope for the best, and hope grows strong when I see so many able journals espousing the cause of “popular sovereign ty” A great many good men and true have l>eeu presented as suitable to be run by the people for the office of Governor of Georgia. From the long list, the people, without a caucus, can surely make selectiou of a man after their own heart, and worthy of their trust. Will you allow me to call the atten tion of your many readers to the name of one who is considered by many the most fitting man for the place of any that has been named. Col. Chambers is a man uni versally honored and beloved by those who know him, and he is extensively known, uot as a party man—not as an office-seeker—not as a truckling trickster—but as a noble old Roman to the maunor born, and indentified, soul, body and spirit,.with the agricultural, educatiouul and social interests of his native Georgia.

We are indebted to tbe Richmond Examiner for the following outlines and abstract of the very important Act o( Sequestration: It will be seen, from the provisions of this Act, that by means of sequestration, the Confederate States Government has taken under its control all the Yankee property and effects in the States of the Confederacy. The bill only differs from a confiscation bill in the particular of holding this property for particular ends, subject to claims for indemnity and to tne future disposition of the Government. There can be no exaggeration cf the extent and importance of thU law. The very best opin ions, aa Developed in the views of Congress and gathered from intelligent financial estimates is, that the Yankee prooerty in the South subject to the precisions of the bill—including mortgage interests— uill pot fall short of three Jmndeed mil lions of dollars. It is a singular fact that the majority of the city real estate in the South is owned by Yankees. In the city of New Orleans alone, it is estimated that there is fifty millions of real estate owned by Yankee aliens, and coming under the operations of this bill. The bill is of such extreme length that we can not find room for it in our columns to-day ; but the abstract which we make below is very full, and , we believe complete in every important particular. A BILL TO nt ENTITLE!* AN ACT FOR THE SEQUESTRA- J TION OF TIIK ESTATE, PROPERTY’ AND EFFECTS OF ALIEN ENEMIES, AND FOR THE INDEMNITY OF CITI ZENS OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES, AND PERSON’S AIDING THE SAME IN THE EXISTING AVAR WITH THE UNITED STATES. The bill recites, in the nature of a preamble, the depaiture of the Government and the people ol failed Stales from the usages of civilized warfare, and the necessity of our only protection against such wrongs iu measures of retaliation. The following is the principal legislative clause : Be it enacted by the Congress of the. Confederate States, That all aud every, the lands, tenements and hereditaments, goods and chattels, rights and credits within these Confederate States, and every right and iuterest therein held, owned, possessed or enjoved by or for any alien enemy, since the twenty first day of May, 1861, except such debts due to an alien enemy as may have been paid into the Treasury of any one of the Confederate States prior to the passage of this law, be and the same are hereby seyuextrated by the Confederate Slates of America, and shall be held for the full indemnity of any true and loyal citizen, a resident of these Confederate States, or other person aiding said Confederate State in the prosecution of the pres ent war between suid Confederate States anil the United States of America, and for which he may suffer any loss or injury under the Act of the United States to which this Act is retaliatory, or under any other Act of the United States, or of any States thereof authorizing the seizure or con fiscation of the property of citizens or residents of the Confederate States, or other persons aiding said Confederate States, and the same shall be seized and disposed of as proviJed for in this Act: Prodded, however, when the estate, property or rights to be affected by this Act #ere or are with in some State of this Confederacy, which has be come such since said twenty first day of May, then this Act shall operate upqn and as to such estate, property or rights, and all persons claiming the same lrotn and after the day, such State became a member of this Confederacy, and not bclore: Provided, farther, that the provisions of this Act shall not extend to the Slocks or other public se curities of the Confederate Government, or of any of the States of this Confederacy, held or owned by an alien enemy, or to any debt, obligation, or sum due from the Confederate Government, or any of the States to such alien enemy: And pro vided, also, That the provisions of this Act shall not embrace the property of citizens or residents of either of the States of Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri, or the District of Columbia, or the Territories of New Mexico, Arizona, or the Indian Territory south of Kansas, except such of said citizens or residents as shall commit actual hostilities against the Confederate States, or aid or abet the United States in the existing war against the Confederate States. Sec. 2. Makes it the duty of every citizen of the Confederate States to g.ve information of the property ol alien enemies. Sec. 8. Allot nets, agents, former partners, trus tees, cr persous holding or controlling any descrip tion of projierty or iuteiest ol alien enemies, arc required to give information and render account of the same to a receiver, on pain of being ad judged guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by hue uot eiceedmg S.'<UOU, and imprisonment for a term not less than six months, aud of being sued in addition lor double the value of the prooerty. Sec. 4 charges the Grand Juries in the Confede rate Coarts to inquire and make presentments of the property of alien enemies affected by the pro visions of the Act. iSec. 5 provides for the appointment of a receiv er, by each Confederate Judge, for each section of the State for which he holds a Court, and in occa sions of necessity for sub districts, said receiver to give bond, and to make oath to discharge his duties well and truly. Sec. 6. The duties of the Receiver are to take possession and control of the property of alien enemies; for accomplishing the purposes of the Act, he may sue for and recover such property in the name of the Confederate States by the form of petition to the Court for a decree of sequestra tion. All orders of seizure necessary to secure the subject matter of the suit from danger or loss, in jury, destruction, or waste, may be made by the Court; but when such necessity does not exist iu the opinion of the Court, the property or credits may remain in the hands of the party in posses sion, except, that bank and corporation stocks, dividends, and rente on real estate shall be deliver ed up, and on the further condition as to other property or credits, that the party in possession shall par all interest? and net profits accrued since tbe 21st of May, 1861, into the hands of the Re ceiver, and at annual periods thereafter, on pain, in cases of failure for judgement against principal and security, for which execution shall be issued in the name of the Receiver. Sf.c. 7. allows any claimant or party interested in the subject-matter of the suit, to intervene and defeud to the extent of his interest, on affidavit that no alien enemy has any interest in the right which he asserts. Sec. 8. authorizes the issue of writs of garnish ment to attach credits due alien enemies and the Courts shall have power to condemn the property or effects or debts according to the answer, and to make orders for the bringing in of third persons claiming, or disclosed by the answer, to have an interest in tbe litigation. Bec. 9 The District Attorney of the Confederate States is required to prosecute all causes instituted under this Act; his compensation to be two per cent, upon the fruits of the litigation. Sec. 10. The Receiver is required at least every six mouths, and as much oftener as he may be re quired by the Court, to render an account of all matters in his hands or under his control, stating amounts, aud making settlements of all matters separately, that the transaction in respect to such alien enemies’property may be kept recorded aud preserved separately. Sec. 11. Notices of settlement to be published for four weeks. The interlocutor) settlement may be impeached at the final settlement, which latter shall be conclusive, unless reversed or impeached, within two years for fraud. Sec. 12. The Court having jurisdiction of the matter shall, whenever sufficient cause therefor, direct the sale of any personal property, other than slaves, sequestered under this Act, on such terms as to it shall seem best; and each sale shall pass the title of ‘he person as whose property the same h 9 been sequestered. Sec. 13. Settlements of acccounts for sequester ed property to be recorded, and copies forwarded to the Treasurer of the Confederate States. Any embezzlement of money under this Act shall be liable to indictment, the guilty party to be confined at hard labor for not less than six months nor more than five veats, and fined iu double the amount embezzled. Sue. 14. The President is authorized, by and with tLe advice and consent of Congress, to ap point three Commissioners, with salaries ot two thousaud five hundred dollars each per annum, who shall bold at the seat of Government two terms each year. It is made the duty of these Commissioners to hear and adjudge such claims as may be brought before them by-any one aiding the Confederacy in the pre-ent war, who has been put to loss by the United States or by any State thereof. The finding of tbe Comuiissioueis in ia vor of sny such claim is to be takcu a sprima facie evidence of the correctness of the demand, and whenever Congress shall pass the same it shall be paid from any money in the Treasury derived from sequestration under ibis Act. The Hoard of Com missioners is designed only to continue until the organization of the Court of Claims provided for by the Constitution, which shall take the place ol tbe Commissioners. Sac. 15. All ex (tenses incurred under the pro ceedings of this Act are required to be puid from the sequestration fund ; the Receiver to be allowed compensation of two and a halt per cent, on re ceipts and the same amount on expenditures : Pro vitied. That the same do not realize more than ss<too in one year. Skc. lb. provides that the Attorney-General shall prescribe uniform rules of proceedings under this law not otherwise provided for. Sec. 17 allows appeals to be taken from any final decisions of the District Courts under this law, as in ordinary cases. Skc. 18. The word “person,” as used in the law, to include all private corporations. .... Sec. 19. The Courts are vested with jurisdic tion to settle all partnerships between citizens of the Confederate States and alien enemies ; to sepa rate the interest of the alien enemy, and to seques trate it; and to sever all joint rights where on al ien enemy is concerned, tor the purposes ct se questration. Sec. 20. In all cases of administration of matter or thing under this Art. the Court having juris diction may make such orders touching the pre servation of property or effects under the direction or control of tie Receiver, not inconsistent with the foregoing provisions, as it shall deem pioper. Btc. 21. Treasury notes are made receivable in payment of all purchases of property or effects sold under this act. Sec. 22. Nothing in this act is to be construed to destroy or irnpair 4 the ! r ien or other right'ot any creditor, a citizen or resident of the Confederacy or of friendly States or Territories ; in all such ca.-es the Court to determine, by making parties and by the proper proceeding, the respective rights of all parties concerned. CAPE HATTEdAS INLET. As very little serins to be known with regard to this now interesting locality in our “belligerent” operations, we annex the following description of it from the Charleston Mercury of the 31st ult. Also, a ‘further account of the North Carolina coast, from the same paper of the 2d inst. : “ As the attention of the most of our readers will necessarily be drawn to the map to find out the position ol this place, and as it is draw irbut on few, if any, of them, we will try aud describe its location. On nearly every map Ocracocke Inlet will be found, and about 18 miles North of that is situated Hatterws Inlet, which, we believe, is a new channel, having cut iw way through the quicksand quite recently. It will admit vessels of from twelve to thirteen feet draft, but inside there is a swash which will only allow of seven and a half feet to go over. Ocracocke Bar lias about the same water, but the swash inside not so much, hence the superiority of Ilatteras Inlet. The bat teries (for we learn that there are two,) which fought the action noticed by telegraph this morn ing, are situated on the South end of the Island on which (’ape Hatteras stands, but is the North side of Hatterus Inlet, the South not being fortified. The importance of Hatterus Inlet and-Ocracocke Bar, is in consequence of these channels being the only outlets to an extensive district of country, now that Norfolk ia blockaded; and should the enemy be properly provided with light draft steamers, heavily armed, he might do infini:e mischief by going up the sounds and rivers. The matter should be looked after forthwith, and the enemy routed out before he has timetostiengthen himself.” “ We have prepared a brief sketch of that sec tion of our sislei States which bus been invaded by the Lincoln army. With the assistance of a very large map, w hich may be found iu our office, the great importance ol this movement of the enemy will be seen at a glance. The excellence of this map will at once indicate the draughtsman, who has anticipated our wants on several previous occasions. Cape Hatteras is the elbow of a triangular is land, forming the seaward limit of Pimlico Sound. The whole series of islands which girdle the coast of North Carolina are desolate and barren. To the northward, between the main island and Nar row Beach Island, stretching down from Cape Henry, lies Currituck Sound, fifty miles long, and two to ten miles broad. West of this, running inland, is Albennarle Sound, sixty miles long, and from five to fifteen miles broad; its waters are fresh and not subject to tidal influences. These two sounds communicate with Pimlico Sound, which lies south of Currituck ; it is eighty-six miles long, and from ten to twenty broad, with a general depth of twenty feet. Dut navigation is much impeded by shoals within it. It opens to the ocean through Ocracoek Inlet, which is considered the best navigable pass north of Cape Lookout. The entire shore ol these sounds is indented by rivers and branches, which are navigable tor ves sels of light draught. The Chowan and Roanoke Rivera empty into Albei marie Sound ; the toriuer which is made by tbe uiiiou of tile Nottoway an;: Meherrin, admits small vussels to Murfreesooro in Uartlord county, aud me latter is navigable ior similar craft, lor thirty nines only. Elizabeth Cay, ou the Pasquotank River, is also a place ot impor tance. The Tar ami N<-use Rivera empty into Pimlico Sound. Washington is the priiicipii port ou the former, aud Newbern ou the lattei. From the last named port a large trade in grain was transacted with Charleston. Besides, there was a very large foreign and coast wise tradv, in naval stores, lumber aud grain from the ports ot Beaufort, Eden ton, Elizabeth City, Washington and Ply mouth. luland navigation is open to Norfolk from Eliza beth City by the Dismal Swamp Canal. The most important point, within reach of the Yanlrtie forces, is Beaufort, a port of entry, the best oil the coast, having twenty feet water ou the bar. The chan nel runs quite near the Shackelford Banks, on the point of which is an earth work. Os the calibre of the guns we have no information. Opposite, on Bogue Island, stands Fort Macon. This is a regu larly constructed work, of considerable strength. At the time of its seizure by the Governor of North Carolina, it was like Fort Pulaski, iu Georgia—in a very unniilitary condition —but considerable work has been done since, and it should be able, with a full garrison and pleuty of powder and shot, to make a protracted defence. From Morehead City, opposite Beaufort,there is a railroad to Goldsboro’, on the Weldou and Wilmington Road. This will enable the authorities to throw large bodies of troops on the coast; and from reliable sources, we learn that an immense flotilla of coasting vessels, including some steamers, are available for any movements by water that may be decided upon. We learn that a large number ol families are leaving their homes ou the coast, with their slaves and personal effects. Prompt and decisive steps should at once be taken for their protection.” From the Louisville Courier, Aug. SO. President Lincoln’* Kcwpolitic to the Com iniwalonera from kweni nek y Civil Mur 1 nev liable. The Ciciunati Enquirer learns that the Commis sioners sent by Governor Magoffin to President Lincoln, to request the observance of the neutral ity of Kentucky, failed in their mission, the Presi dent declaring that “he would not respect the neutrality of Kentucky ; but be would march Fed eral troops into and through the State.” This response was not altogether unexpected. It is, however, more explicit and straightforward than we anticipated. We thought it by no means im probable that some arrangement would be effected by which the Union members of the Legislature would be empowered to decide what course of action should be pursued in regard to the encamp ment of Federal troops on Kentucky soil, as well as in regard to their movement across tbe soil of the State. The response of the President to the Commis sioners, in our opinion, renders civil war inevitable. The President has declared that he will not respect the neutrality of the State; he has deliberately determined that the State which gave him birth shall be crimsoned with fratricidal blood. Upon Abraham Lincoln will rest the fearful responsibdity of inaugurating war in Kentucky. Not only will Lincoln not respect the neutrality of the State— not only will lie not disband the encampment in Garrard county—but he will march troops through the State, and establish camps for military instruc tion at Louisville,Covington and Frankfort. This is the response of Mr. Luicolu to the commissioners appointed to request him to disband the Federal troops at Camp Dick Robinson and respect the neutral position of Kentucky. It no* becomes the people of Kentucky to unite as one man. All parties in the State are committed to the doctrine of neutrality. Let it be maintained at all hazards.— If the people of the State will unite together; if they are true to themselves; if they are deter mined to maintain inviolate the neutrality and vin dicate tbe honor of toe State, Lincoln will be pow erless to do us harm. Tbe people of Kentucky should at once prepare for war. The Governor should issue Ins procla mation for at least fifty thousand men, and in less than thirty days the invaders will be driven from Keutucky soil. Isslk of Govkknmknt Stock. —The Treasury Department is busily engaged in the preparation and engraving of tbe Treasury notes to be issued under the late fiscal act of Congress. The bonds and inscribed stock will not b ready to be issued for some lime yet. We learn that none ol the bonds have yet been issued under the fifty million act. The twenty millions of bonds authorized under that act have been superseded by tbe pro visions of tbe tax bill, and will constitute a portion of tbe hundred million issue. Tbe quality of the paper used in tbe manufacture of the treasury notes is very inferior, but is said to oe the best that cau be procured in quantities efficient for the purpose of the Government.— There is reported to be some little bank note paper in New Orleans, but scarcely enough to be of any use to tbe Urge paper issues of the Gov ernment. — Stamina-. From the Charleston Mercury, Aug. 81. Craiiwe ot (lie Steamer Gordon. The armed steamer Gordou, Cupt. Thos. Lock wood, reached tbi9 poit yesterday alter a cruise of six weeks. We are indebted to her obliging commander for the following memoranda relating to her voyage: Left this port ou the morning ot the 17th July, and after passing Cape Roiuain was chased by a U. S. steamer, which fired one gun, but it fell short, and we got safely into a port ot North Carolina, where a supply of tuel was taken in. July Sh, at 7 A. M., made a sail, which on reaching proved to be the brig Win. McGilverv, of Bangor, Me., from Cardenas tor Boston, with a cargo ot 887 hogsheads and *27 tierces of molas ses; a prize crew was placed on hoard, and she was taken into Hatteras Inlet. July‘2B, a vessel hove in sight, and nearing her we fired a gun across her bow, when she Love to, amt was found to be the schooner Protector, of Philadelphia, with a cargo of fruit; she was taken in tow and carried into Hatteras Inlet. July Su, near (_upe Lookout, made a U. S. steamer about ten miles oil, which was soon discovered to be making to wards us, but she was left out of sight in-a few hours. Went into Beaufort (N. C.) July 30—left August 2, and arrived at ’Hatteras Inlet. AU. 8. man-of-war appeared off the harbor, and fired one gun. Next day went to sea, and boarded ihe schooner Priscilla, of and lor Baltimote, from Curacoa, with a cargo of salt. Same day spoke ihe brig Robert Kirkland, of and for Baltimore, Irons Turks Island. August 4th, left Ocracoeke Bar, and at 6 A. M , made two sails on the star board bow —one a brig and the other a schooner. A steamer which came out of Hatteras Inlet stood t iwiuds the brig, ami took her in tow. When the Gordon captured the tchoouer, which was found io be the Henry Nutt, Baker master, from Key West, for Philadelphia, she had on board a cargo of logwood and mahogany —placed u prize crew on board, and took her into Hatteras Inlet. Same day captured the schooner Sea Witch, of and for New York, from Barncoa, Cuba, with a cargo of fruit, which was lowed safely into harbor. August 6th,‘Saw a brig off Hatteras lulet, and was prepar ing to chase her, when a United St, tes war vessel hove in sight. Ou the Bth instant, started after a schooner, but she was soon discovered to be under convoy of a man-of-war, when we put about.— from the Bth to the 27 th inst., the Gordon was much of the time at sea, but saw nothing that could be made a prize of. On the 17th inst., off Moorhead city, spoke the British schooner Peel, from the West Indies, for Newborn. Same day, off Cape Lookout, spoke the British schooner Lone Star, of Halifax, for Baltimore; in the afternoon, put into Hatteras Inlet. On the 25th inst., made a sail, which, on nearing her, was discovered to be a U. S. frigate ; and in the afternoon the Gordon returned to Hatteras Inlet. On 20th inst., went to sea at 5 A. M., and spoke Br. schooner Equator, fioui Nassau for New York. On the 27th instant, soon after taking in a supply of fuel at. Hatteras harbor, discovered about tea sails of vessels in the offing, supposed to be U. S. vessels of war; seven of them were steamers and three sailing vessels— stood south for Ocracoeke—where we put in and lauded several persons. Started immediately tor Beaulort, but it was too dark to cross the bar when it was reached, and we were compelled to ruu for New Inlet, which we crossed and arrived safely at Wilmington. Left Smithville at sa. m., on Friday, and reached this port on the afternoon of the same day. When off Bull, saw a large- Unitetl States steamer, with a walking beam, steer ing northeast, and off this bar found two vessels, not keeping up the blockade—at least they were unable to keep out the Gordon. Captain Lock wood deserves great credit for the skill and good judgment which has characterised his management of the steamer, be having successlully run the blockade at several ports, and frequently been chased by war steamers. Mr. Lockhart, the Chief Engineer of the Gordon, it is unnecessary to say, stands at the head of his business, and can make a steam engine do almost anything. The Response of the Kcw Turk News to the 1* revolt intent of the Grand Jury. The New York Xetes came out the morning af ter the presentment of itself, and other papers by the United States Grand Jury, with the following fearless reply : Strenuously, consistently and unawervingl", the D.iib Hew* ha- niainta-ned, -inte the bombardment ot FoitS*inter —an *-vi-ni for which the adminis ‘ration ot President Lincoln is wholly and solely responsible— 1. That the civil war in which the country is involved is imqui ou-, uncalled for and destructive of the prosperity ol the public, aud that it has grown out ot a wicked and dem .gogical catering to abolition fan uivi-.n on the part of the authori ties at Washington, wiuon cannot be too severely reprobated. *2. That every drop of blood that has been shed in the present contest has been a calamity, and iihat every life ih. has been lost has been a mur der, which uiignt have been avoided, had patrio tism and moderation prevailed in federal councils. 3. That the increase of our army ; the expendi ture of money without permission of Congress; the blockade of the Southern ports; the procla mation of martial law; the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus; the invasion of sovereign Slates without summons from their executive or legislatures; the overthrow of the authority of local courts; and the abrogation of our military and naval laws, have been utterly unconstitutional acts,committed in defiance and violation of the oath of office ot the chief magistrate of the land, and for which he ought to be impeached and deposed. 4. That it would be far better to permit the discontented portion of the United Slates to de part in peace, and more in conformity with the views and intentions of the original framers of the Constitution to suffer the republic to be divided into two confederacies, than to array the different sections against each other in internecine strife, and to blast the future prosperity of the whole Union, by an expensive, unprofitable and bloody war, which must inevitably end in leaving sectional issues unsettled us they were before they began. 5. That the grievances of which the Southern States have complained have been, mainly, well founded, aud that the compromise plans suggested by Senators Crittenden and Bigler in the thirty sixth Congress, and by other conservative repre sentatives of the people in the extra session of the present Congress, ought to have been adopted. fi. That the acknowledgment by the Federal Government of the right of slave owners to con vey aud hold their property in the common terri tories, would have been pre eminently just, aud that the Confederate States will do wisely to insist upon a constitutional right so self-evident, at all times and under all circumstances. 7. That civil war is to be avoided, and that amity betweeu the several States is to be cultivat ed. 8. That the pecuniary profligacy of the admin istration of President Lincoln is utterly condemn able, and that the system of wholesale speculation and plunder which has characterized the different branches of the Government, since the fourth of March, has no paralell in the history of our coun try. 9. That we are firmly and earnestly convinced that the masses of the people are hostile to the President, hostile to the Cabinet, hostile to the usurpations of the last six months, and believe they must, if continued, end in auarchy or a mili tary despotism. These have been the constantly reiterated views of the Daily Yum for several months past, and if they render our paper worthy of indictment, we have only to say that we covet no hotter fate. Tm: Expected Attack ox the News Office and other Journals. —lt has now been fully proven to the police that a mob intended demolishing the News office on Monday night; that the fact became known to the police was the only means that pre vented them from carrying into effect their pur posed plans. A number of daring ruffians had been secretly employed, and between two and three o’clock yesterday morning the rioters were to congregate in and about the News office, and when the cry was given to enter and demolish everything in the composing, editorial, and count ing rooms, also the presses. The Day Book office was next to be visited, and finally the Journal of Commerce. The fact, however, became known at an eatlv hour to the Editors of the Journal of Commerce, and they immediately notified the Superintends ill of Police and Captain Silvey, of the Ist precinct. A strong force was accordingly held in reserve, under Capt. Carpenter, and the active movements of the police in the vicinity of the News office fully satisfied those who were to carry out their designs that the police were well aware of their movements, and it would be useless to attempt it. Inspector Carpenter was in the vicinity of the Park until all the papers had gone to press, and he had fully satisfied himself that all was safe. Whether an attempt will again be made it is not known, but the names of the ringleaders are well known to Superintendent Kennedy, and their ac tions will be closely watched .—Herald, 2sth silt. Funeral.— Sergeant Thomas M. Newton, of the “Sparks Guards,” was buried on yesterday in Ro9e Hill Cemetery. Detacnments of the Jackson Ar tillery, Reserve Macon Volunteers and Fire Com pany No. 8, participated in the military honors of the occasion. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Dr. Mann .—Telegraph of th Itk inst. ‘ The Centrevtlle Diuaer. This subject has often been alluded to in the papere, and it was altogether a most singular affair to go on record in the history of modern battles. But it is in keeping with every thing pertaining to the great parade and assurance attending the ad vent ot the invasion by the “ Grand Army” ot Scott and Lincoln. The getting up of the affair is thus chronicled in the papers : “Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, gHve orders to a French victualler in Washington City to fur nish a splendid dinner, with wines and other costly refreshments, without regard to expense, at Cen treville, where a select party ot ladies uud gentle men was to least in honor of the Federal victory at Manassas. The dinner was to be upon the ta- ‘ ble precisely at 8 o’clock. Accordingly the French man took over wagon loads of meats, cakes, candies, wines, fruits, ice creams, and a variety of dishes which only a French cook, could prepare, | besides silver plate, rich goblets, fine table furni* ture, and every thing suitable to make the dinner rival the finest ever given by the President, or his heads of Department. A large dining room was pressed into service, where the good things were arranged for the splendid banquet. “Just before the hour ot 8 o’clock arrived, Senator Wilson and his fashionable gue9ts from New York, Boston and Washington City, retired from Centreville with some degree of precipitation, leaving the dinner untouched, when the same fell into the hands ot sundry hungry Confederate sol diers, who did the hotiois ot the table in double quick time, and then followed as hastily in ihe retiring footsteps of the dinnerless party.” A further Item in the “secret history” of this affair, is the presentation of the Frenchman’s bill to Senator Wilson, and the scene is said to have been a rich one. “Monsieur le Secretaire,” said he, ‘ I present, you von leetie bill for your dion>-.ire at de Centre line, de day of the Run of de Bull from de lite— just only twenty-five hundred dollaire, ver’ sheap at that—dinnaire ready at three o’clock very pre cise—tor grand ladie, grand gentleman, grand Congressman—grand every body.” “ Monsieur,” said the Senator, coolly, “I didn t have any of your dinner—l was on my way to Washington at that time —cannot settle the bill.” “But, Monsieur,” said the Professor, “you en gage de dinnaire, sair—must be ver* much and ver’ fine—and cost, be d— in, you recollect? Me Chef de Cuisint —you ruu with de Bull—nothing to me—pay my leetie bill for my fiity baskets of champagne, mine vin de Medoe, mine viu de Mi dere, mine vin all sorts, mine prandy, de turtle soup, de roast beef, boiled leetie sheep— ah ! de sauce—caper, troufle, mushroom—ver’ uioe. De turkey, shicaeu—ah ! de yrenouille pie, fry, broil, fricasee—cost ver’ much!” Mr. Senator replies:—“Go to (perhaps it wa9) thunder! with your green owl pies and fricasees. I never ordered any such tiling.” Mr. Chef de Cuisine replies:—“You no understand de Fran §ais —me no mean de big “ Hooter ” that sit and sleep on de tree all day—but de leetie jumper vat you calls de tnud lark or de frog. Ver’ nice for delicate lady vat go to see de file. Oh! de desert —ver’ fine .” The Senator cut him short.— Cuisine continued:—“l sue you—l cuss you ver’ much when I get in my shop. Say you one poltroon, one cheat, one swindle —be gar.” The Monsieur did not succeed with the Senator in collecting the bill, but was directed to tile it in the Department of Secretary Cameron, as one of the “war expenses,” where it seems he has met with no better luck. # From the Rome Courier. Candidates for Governor—James Iff. Chambers. Among the many worthy names offered to the consideration of the approaching Convention, the above is probably the most deserving. From a correspondence in the Columbus papers, it will be seen that Col. Chambers consents to the use of his name. In Southern and Middle Georgia he is well known, and cordially admired ; in tins section ot me State he is not sogeuerally known. Cherokee Georgia must concede that tne Governor should come from the region of the State where Col. Chambers lives. At any rate it wiii be extremely selfish in this section, to iusist on a candidate of their own latitude. Col. Chambers is a man, in every sense of the word —physically, mentally and morally. When you look ou his person, at his shining face, you uie apt to think of the large bodied and large souled men of our revolutionary days. VV Ueu you study his character you will find it moulded alter tne lashion of the Washingtons and Franklins ot our purer days—a ruuu ol deeds, not Os word.--, of spotless reputation—inteut only on serving nis generation well. Col. Chambers is about 55 years of age, robuai in health, ripe in experience, rich iu aii the graces that could adorn public or private suatiou. He is a very large planter, and for many years edited the “ Soil of the South.” If any have read that valuable agricultural paper, they will not need to be informed that he knows how to write. Very recently Col. C. has called a convention of the planters of Georgia, to devise the ways aud means to assist the Government in its struggle for independence. Col. C. is profoundly a religious man, of the Methodist persuasion—a man “holy, bacmless and undeliled.” There is nothing connected with gov ernment or business that be would be unfit to perform. He has never been a partisan, and has not had office because he has not wanted it. He is a State Rights man in his political creed, and would give the last dollar of his ample fortune to vindicate Georgia and the Confederate States.— Sucti a man suits these times of reform. He ought to be nominated and elected. Columbus has another man of high repute, who will be proposed in the convention—Hon. Martin J. Crawford. Judge Crawford makes so good a Congressman —his people had better keep him lor that post. Let the Convention give us a mm in every sense of the word—of whom all the people will feel proud, and not ashamed, on account of his weak ness and contemptible vanity. The writer of this has voted for Joseph E. Brown his last lime. Let him retire, and, by all means, seek to keep from decay, his fading laurels. H. Wreck or the JcfT. Davis. The unwelcome report that the famous privateer Jeff. Davis had been wrecked in attempting to enter the port of St. Augustine, Florida, is con firmed by a statement published in the Charleston Mercury , upon the authority of one of the priva teersmen, who has arrived in Charleston. It ap pears from this statement that the Jeff. Davis sailed from Charleston on the night of June 18th, and after goiug through innumerable adventures, taking a large number of prizes and visiting Porto Rico, on Sunday night, August 11th, she descried a large vessel, which by a permit from the cele brated “ Long Tom,” was discovered to be the ship John Carver, Captain Edge, of Bath, Maine. Capt. Edge produced uo papers; he said he was loaded with coal for the Gulf. It was afterwards discovered, however, that she was loaded with arms and provisions ior the blockading squadron. After transfering the crew to the Jeff. Davis, and removing what provisions and arms were necessa ry, Capt. Coxetter had the John Carver scuttled and set on fire fore and aft. This was at 8 o’clock in the evening, and at 4 o’clock on the following morning the crew of the Jeff. Davis saw the fated John Carver go down. Captain Coxetter now made sail for the Florida coast. On Friday evening, the lfitb inst., ha was off’ St. Augustine, but the wind having increased to half a gale, he could not venture in. He re mained outside the bar the whole of Friday without observing any of Lincoln’s fleet. On Saturday morniug at half-past six, while trying to cross the bar, the Jeff. Davis struck, and though every possible exertion was made to relieve her by throwing the heavy guns overboard, yet the noble vessel, after her perilous voyage, and the running of innumerable blockades, became a total wreck. All the small arms and clothing of the crew, with valuable sundries, were, however, saved. On the arrival of the brave but unfortunate crew in St. Augustine, they were received with a kind ness they can never forget. The town bells rang out a joyous peal of welcome, and the people vied with each other in their courtesies to the ship wrecked ones. ‘•'hanks to the uoble hospitality of the Floridians, the men soon recovered from their fatigue. They arrived in Charleston on Wednes day. The name of the privateer Jejf. Davis had become a word of terror to the Yankees. The number of her prizes and the amount of merchan dize whicli she captured, have no parallel since the days of the Saucy Jack. — Mont. Advertiser. War on the Banks. —There are two facts which we wish to place iu juxtaposition, for the honest men of Georgia to reflect upon : The organs of Gov. Brown are engaged in their old game of villifying and abusing the Banks.— This is the first fact. The last Legislature appropriated a million of dollars to arm the State and aid in the struggle for independence, and Gov. Brown has been furnished by the Banks with every dollar he has used for that purpose. The bonds could not be sold, and they patriotically came forward and supplied the money. This is the second fact. Now, let an honest and grateful people judge between the Banka and their traducera.—Savan nah Republican. MACON, GEORGIA : Wednesday, September U, ijj, Mgovernor JAMES M.
