The demand will, in all probability, be greatly lessened; and whenever the blockade is broken, if we have two full crops on hand, the price will go <sown to a verv lew figure —one that won’t pay. Better raise meat and other farm products which we always need and have to buy from abroad with the proceeds of our Cot ton but which we cannot get now, if we could get gold at a high figure for every bale. —Atlanta Confederacy.

Resolved, That a law or tax be levied upon every gallon of spirituous liquors distilled from wheat, corn, rye, or potatoes, that shall be sufficient to prohibit the same during tiie present war and blockade, the proceeds thereof to be applied to the support of families with us, of our soldiers on the tented field. Thia is a movement in the right direction. Let the Georgia Legislature take this subject under consideration. CAP! LAMAR The intelligent army correspondent of the Sa’ vannah lit publican, wakes the following gratifying mention of our gallant townsman : Capt. Lucius M. Lamar, late Captain of the Ma con Guards, has been appointed Major of the Eighth Georgia Regiment, he having the oldest commission of any captaiu in the regiment. E, A. Wilcox, 2d Lieutenant of the same company, has been appointed quarter-master to the regiment wiih the rank of capta : n. 1 bese are two excellent appointments, and fairly won by the coolness and courage displayed bv the recipients of them at the bailie of Manassas. I have not -heard who their successors are. The New York Herald professes to have infor mation entitled to implicit confidence, that Gen. McClellan, before the retreat of tl*e rebels from Munson’s .Hill, had a plan to bag their forces in advance, about ten thousand strong, “ and the very night that lie had decided to carry his plan into execution, a rocket was sent up from Wash ington as a signal to the rebel officers, whereupon tbe Confederates beat a hasty retreat. The Herald says : “ The leak took place in some of the milita ry bureaus, and not with the Secretary of War.” The Herald also makes the following announce ment : “Later intelligence reveals the fact that the friends of Gen. Scott are desirous that Gen. Mc- Clellan shall not achieve such laurels, preferring that Gen. Scott shall do the work in a more ex pensive and dilatory manner along the coast, leaving Gen. McClellan in Washington in command of a department with a large army, and literally doing nothing, fighting uo battles and winning uo victories.” By the Prewldeut—A Proclamation. Whereas, it hath pleased the Almighty God, the Sovereign Disposer of events, to protect and defend the Confederate States hitherto, in their conflict with their enemies, and to be unto them a shield: And, whereas, with grateful thanks we recognize His hand, and acknowledge that not unto us, but unto him Oelongeth the victory ; and in humble dependeHce upon His Almighty strength, and trusting in the justness of our cause, we appeal to Him, that He may set at uaught the efforts of our enemies, and put them to contusiou and shame: Now, therefore, I, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States, in view of the impend ing conflict, do hereby set apart Friday, the 15tb day of November, as a day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer ; and do hereby invite the Reverend Clergy, aiid tne people of the Confederate States, to repair on that day to their usual places of pub lic worship, and to implore the blessings of Al mighty God upon our arms, that He may give us victory over our enemies, preserve our homes and altars from pollution, and secure to us the restora tion of peace and prosperity. , —*— , Given under my hand and the seal of seal the Confederate States, at Richmond, this * —.— 31st day of October, in the year of our Lord oue thousand eight hundred and sixtv-one.

Zollicoffer’s command, is that he has returned to Cumberland Ford, and that the Lincolnites this side of Rockcastle river have received large reinforcements. Reinforcements for our army are expected in a few days, both from the East and the West. Gen. Floyd is alreadv, as far as we can gather from our dispatches, in Kentucky, and will make a junction witli Gen. (Cerro Gordo) Williams, in the flank of the enemy. The Lincolnites will never be able to transfer the war into East Tennessee. There is also a rumor upon our streets, said to be derived from passengers on the train from the East to-day, that Col.
