ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
n'tth a || the severity attempted, and far-fetched
! fuce, ingenuity, used by bis Honor, the
f , r in concocting his last article, which appear-
M *' V the “ Correspondence of the Telegraph,” we
td '“ koOW bow to treat it—whether with con
bA or ridicule. To adopt the first, might be
wir ' P r , e( i by him to “backing down.” Most of
C u' J article is better suited to the latter, and none
1 * to anything else. He certainly, in assurance,
C himself the most accomplished artist
waging, of the present age—equal to
, v r and purifying the rottenness and leprosy
' thousand years. If the recollections of the
, jn d the known facts of the present time,
be obliterated by bis brush from the minds of
s g r , at is accomplished, and he would
i 4l least in his own estimation, “self-poised”
gll others. If this were accomplished, we
ould D ot dare to offend his uervous system, by
Atfcu | word we have used, nor would we dare
jS T how much a Mayor could loose in dignity,
or proprxety in duty, by his espousals; or his
Jftjesty outrivalled in impudence.
n e liould be complimented for his industry in
huaiiog u P matrimonial records for some—but
»/iat does this imply? We cannot, as he lias
done, ante el ite an? colonist so far back as eleven
rears into the history of Fort Iluwkfns, and pre
-liUUi to the existence of our city. Hut there may
be, now, “campaigners” that can neaily approach
such au antiquity, and may have enlisted his sym
pathies, and established claims for long services,
h liich would thiow even his fire dog soldiers in the
shade.
Humbly would we inquire, has no one cf the
while trashed ever been arraigned before his Hon
or for any little misdemeanor or infraction of the
public morals ? Reports and records may some
times be a mistake. This is to refresh his official
recollections. Also, are there not some consequen"
as on hand about this time that implies very
naughty doings among the whi e washed.
We have always said that some very worthy
people inhabited the buildings alluded to, of which
you sav, you did not “wish to make a blow about”
—but you could have said, when you wrote your
article, that they had left for more quiet quarters
and better suited to their taste—others of that
class may still remain. As to “ noting about'' to
know what is in the neiglibot hood is quite unne
cessary, ns the occasional noise sufficiently betrays
it, and in language to cars unsuited to hear it, to
the distance ol hundreds of yards. What has
been said about the vile, worthless and disorderly
cannot be taken back, us the white ivash does not
readily take on the subjects.
As lis Honor has been slightly personal, there
can he no unfairness In imitating “play ful” re
marks. Hurling a cap can do no harm to uny one,
or change an opinion. As to his tongs, it is ad
mitted that they are very useful articles in manag
ing smutty subjects—and it. is of record that, S*.
Du-Uti once pulled the Devil’s nose with them.—
lie can make them equally useful in handling some
court records, end “burl them” where he pleases.
S.
Some of the Richmond papers are advocating
the appointment cl Hon. Win. C. liives as the
Huocessor of Mr. Hunter in the Department of
State. They may ns well spare their ink and la
bor. Mr. Hives will not be appointed, though em
inently lit lor the place. Ilia Whig antecedents
are sufficient to debar him from so high a position.
—Augusta Sentinel.
It would appear that, judging the future by the
pint, the prediction of our contemporary is rea
sonable. As President Davis, however, has been
elected by the universal suffrages of men of all
pit ties, we hope old political opponents will no
linger be proseiibcd. It is a long road which
never turns.
CONQUESIS OF WHISKY.
Our brave soldiers who have so often put. to
Ught the Federalists are combatt’ng a foe asinsid
ion* slid steal h v as he is cruel and unrelenting.—
The legislatures of some of the States proposed to
f»ke action upon the subject and previ nt the grain,
fiat iras intended by Providence lor the subsist
«»ce of man and beast, from being converted into
tke elements of destruction to soul and body.—
Why had they not the moral courage to doit
whilst they were enacting laws against extortion?
Hh’ Richmond Examiner thus uotices the dopre
di'ioiis cf whisky:
It is bad enough to distress the poor in those
times to glut the avarice of trade ; but when they
*re robbed to feed the dissipation and vices of so
cf ty, it, in positively abominable. One cannot go
amiss for whisky in Richmond. The curse and
tilth of it reek along the streets. It is eating into
the vitals of our society ; it is killing our soldiers,
making brutes of our officers, “stealing the brains”
of our generals, taxing our army with endless
court-martials, and sinking our great struggle into
»pandemonium of revelry, recklessness and mad
license. Scarcely a night passes in Richmond but
<he souud of drunken riot may be heard on the
streets as the revellers pass from brothel to brothel,
or reel along the pavements, searching for shelter
home. Oue has only to go into the streets
°t the city and see hundreds of good looking
young men, wealing the unitonn of their country’s
service, embruted by liquor, converted into bar-
r °oni vagabonds, and ruined perhaps forever, to
return home to curse the vice of drunkenness, and
to pray God to save those dear to him in the army
Ins country from a fate far worse than death at
t ie hands of the enemy.
" e call upon the Christian patriot and philan
thropist to rally to the rescue of soldiers from this
enemy, if they expect to secure and maiutain ra
tional libertv.
“ A TIME TO DANCE.’’
The wise man said, “there is a time to dance.”
*3me of the Richmond papers speak of the gaities
01 that city, and the extravagauce of the ladies
>i) dross— all exhibiting, certainly very bad taste.
*he \\ hig thus writes :
Not only are dancing and junketing in bad taste
a ‘ a time as the present, but they are iuhu
fnan,y disrespectful and foolish. If a father or a
rothor lay in mortal peril in an upper chamber,
"Quid it not be brutal in his children to be “cut
■ > the pigeon wing” below stairs? Hundreds
atl d hundreds of fathers and brothers are languish
in the hospitals ot this very citv, and thous
a; !ds upon thousands of fathers, sons, husbands
*nd lovers are exposing their lives in the field to
**»« us from subjugation ; aud here we are pro
tected by the living wall of their dauntless breasts
kicking up our heels and tripping on the light fan
atic toe in the most joyous manner. This is not
the way to show a decent respect or a merely hu
sympathy for our suffering defenders. This
ls not the temper which will or ought to save a
People from conquest. «
Important Military Change. —The Richmond
I >l *patch t of the 27th ult., says: “ We have reiia
authority for making the following statement:
Beauregard, the distinguished officer of the
&rra y °f the Potomac, takes command of the ar-
Columbus, Ky., and General Gustavos W.
' , 11 succeeds him in the position he has so long
j ‘ acc «ptably occupied. At Columbus, we un
ht* is subordinate to no one except Gen.
-T* Johnston. This change goes iuto es-
Without delay."
EUROPEAN SYMPAT HY-
We hatter all along believed that uhe South would
receive no sympathy from Europe except commer
cial, or such as effected her pocket. Speaking of
the reception due to the late rebel envoy#, the
London Times says that “they are about the most
worthless booty It would be possible to extivet
from the jaws of the American lion, as they have
long been known as blind and habitual haters and
revilers of England,” and expresses the hope that
Englishmen will not give “these fellows anything
in the shape of an ovation. The civilty due to a
foe in distress is all they can claim. England has
returned them good for evil; and even now, if they
can, they will be only glad to entangle her in a
war with the North. England would have done as
much to t rescue two negroes. Let Mason and
Slidell, therefore, pass quietly on their way and
have their say to anybody who may listen to them.”

Reflections ut the Grave of Hiss M. Fran
ces Thompson.
Another mile stone has been passed in the jour
ney of life. The year 1861, with its blood and
death, ita tears and sorrows, its hopes and disap
pointments, has been swallowed up forever. An
other year now lifts its crest from the mighty
depths of a shoreless future. What secrets are
hidden beneath its misty mantle—what trials for
ourselves and country—none but the All seeing
eye of Jehovah can penetrate Let us pray that
upon the folds of the unsealed future, victory and
independence have already been inscribed for our
; beloved country, and that peace and contentment,
j with all their untold blessings, may be vouchsafed
I to us, by a beneficent Providence.
The past —the year that has gone—over how
many aching hearts has it folded its raven wings
forever! Red-handed war, with uplifted sword,
| has stalked through the land, and precious is the
I harvest that has fallen before its gleaming blade.
Dyed are our vallevs with the blood of the brave,
and crowned are our hill-tops with the graves of
the fallen Who shall number the hearts that
have been made desolate? the homes that have
been filled with despair ?
Hut it is not alone on the battle Geld that death
has claim*, and his victims. He has visited the homes
of the young and gentle, and laid his remorslesa
hand upon the fair and lovely. Beneath this sod
sleeps one of the loveliest of earth’s fair daughters.
Y'oung and beautiful—standing, as it were, tip toe
upon the threshold of life, and ready to spiing
lorward and pluck the flowers that beckoned her
on—with troops of friends around her—the past a
pleasant dream, the future a bright land whose
enameled plains she longed to tread ; thus blessed
and thus surrounded, she has been cut down, and
tier gay and happy spirit called back to the skies
from whence it came.
But her personal charms, however attractive,
paled before the graces of - mind and heart, w ith
which our Father in Heaven had endowed her.
The light of Christianity and the ripening influences
of education had been shed over her nature, and
her heart had become the resting place of chastened
hopes and tender fancies. What more lovely ob
ject does all the earth present, than that of a young
and beautiful girl wno has consecrated herself to
the service of her creator ?
Farewell, dear friend ! Bright and beautiful as
this world of ours is, we would uot recall thee from
that blissful realm where thy snowy pinions never
tire, and thy redeemed spirit shall forever be at
rest. BY HER FRIEND.
Thomaston, Upson co., Jan. Ist, 1562.
For the Journal k Messenger.
Messrs. Editors : The Mayor refuses to answer
the questions propounded by “ Tax Payer” in your
'ast issue. llis reference 10 Hogue and Hollings
worth was gratuitous, and a bungling attempt of
his Honor to dodge the question. I deny that the
city has lost one cent by these gentlemen, and Je
uianJ the proof. His bare assertion will not do;
they are responsible, and could he made to respond
if defaulters. They paid for the rent of the biick
yard, one year^jjSOO —which was about two thirds
of the amount they were to pay for a five years’
lease. Then how is it probable that the city
should have lost $3,200 by them ? Let us have
the proof.
It is known that the Mayor rented the houses
upon nis own responsibility—contrary to the wish
of the committee on public properly —and if rati
fied by the Council it was a mere extension of
mercy by that body; and Ills allusion to the
“Trent” was a mere after thought to keep from
sinking. Catching at straws. CITIZEN.
The Atlanta Intelligencer hints at a draft
and says (and we endorse it):
“We would not care much if Governor Brown
would order a draft upon the militia of the State,
especially in certain Brigades and D : visions that
have not yet performed their part in the war.”
Some counties in the State have done but little
for the war, either by men or means.
Outrages in East Tennessee.— The Knoxville
Register says the defeat of the Confederate# at
Fishing Creek has emboldened the Lincoln min
ious that yet remain in East Tennessee with the
idea that the Federals will soon have possession
of the country, and they have committed some of
the grosstst outrages upon true Southern men.—
Phillip Seiber, of Auderson county, was murdered
in his own house, in the presence of his wife and
children, in the night, and his house robbed of
money and other valuables. Gabriel Keith, of the
same county, was also killed by them.
The tories of Greene county are also turbulent
and threatening.
A Heart Rending Scene.— A citizen of Rome,
just returned from Nashville, says the Courier,
says the body of Major Fogg, aid to the lamented
Zollicoffer, was received at a way-station on the
Nashville A Chattanooga Railroad on Sunday the
20th inst. His parents had received a dispatch
that their son had been wounded, and taking two
physicians with them, had gone to meet him.—
Upon fiudiug him cold in death, their anguish was
beyond description, aud the deep sympathy of
passengers was manifested by all eyes glistening
with the dew of the heart’s sorrow at this scene
of distress.
The Burnside Expkditition. —Our dispatches
this morning—says the Nashville Gazette —confirm
the reported loss at sea of a considerable portion
of Burnside’s much-talked of naval expedition. —
The loss of war munitions was immense, aud some
of the most formidable vessels in the fleet have
met the fate the whole affair deserved. It does
really seem that phials of wrath are being emptied
upon the heads of our adversaries.
Col. Walton Ector..— This gallant soldier, the
Colonel of the loth Georgia Regimept, died at his
home in Grceuville, a few days ago, after a painful
illness.
LATER Fito.7l EIROPE,
ARRIVAL OP STEAMER AFRICA.
Richmond, Feb. 3.—The N. York Herald
ol the Ist inst., has been received. The
steamship Africa has been rectyved, with
Liverpool dates to Jan. 10th.
i he indications point to an early alliance
between France and England, and perhaps
olher European powers, for the purpose of
arresting the war between the Northern and
Southern States.
England and France are about forming a
coalition for armed intervention in American
affairs. The allies vehemently object to the
stone blockade of Charleston; and the block-j
ade of the Southern po r ts will probably be
infringed by the European powers with a
view to its annihilation.
The Herald says tbet England openly es
pouses this ADglo-French intervention, with
a view to the pacification cf the Federalists
and the Confederates.
The English journals indicate that a spee
dy objection will be made to the blockade.
Ibe Herald’s Paris correspondent says
that the Emperor Napoleon will lead in the
matter.
Messrs. Mason and Slidell are anxiously
expected in Paris.
England is progressing in the work of de
veloping an immense naval and military force
in South America.
Admiral Danes will join Admiral Milne
at Halifax.
The English prohibition of the exportation
of saltpetre bas been removed.
The Confederate steamer Sumter lias been
ordered to leave Cadiz, and has gone to Gib
raltar. The Federalists have sent four steam
ers after her. Three sailing vessels and the
Constellation are fitting out at Portsmouth,
N. IF, with the same ojoject.
An overland expedition is fitting out un
der Gen. Lane, to attack Galveston.
Gen. Winfield Seott, Commander-in-Cbief
of the United States army, is going to Key
West, Fla., for his health.
Important military Etill—A System
of Universal JLniistmcnt.
The Richmond Examiner has obtained a
copy of the following Bill, pai-sed by Con
gress and approved by the President. It
proposes, as will be seen, some radical and
important changes in the organization and
enlistment of our military forces. As an
appropriate explanation of its objects, we
make a brief summary of the features where
in its differs from the other Military Bills
ieferred to in its context:
1. It provides for the acceptance of single
volunteers by the President, instead of as
formerly, requiring their acceptance by com
panies.
2. In the second section it changes the
mode of appointment of field and company
officers; the original Bill giving the Presi
dent the power of appointment.
3. It makes provision for filling vacancies
by a system of promotion.
4. It provides fur detailing officers to re
cruit.
5. It provides a system of universal enlist
ment, with special encouragements for raising
military corps.
The Bill (which is now a law) is one of
much importance and interest, and, we
learn, has been partially designed by Con
gress to avoid, if possible, the system of con
seription, or drafting, by invigorating the
rcciuiting service and offering new induce
ments to volunteers.

A correspondent of a northern paper say#:
General Zollicoffer was shot through the heart
at the head of his staff by Colonel Fry, of the
Fourth Kentucky. It appears that General Zolli
coffer lost his way !n the bushes, and suddenly
emerged before Colonel Fry, who was aceompa
uied by some staff officers. The two parties mis
took each other for friends, atid approached with
in a few yards of each other, when, finding their
mutual mistake, both halted and prepated for a
hand to hand conflict. One of Geu. Zcllicoffer’s
aids shot at Colonel Fry, but only brought his
horse down. The Union Colonel immediately drew
his six-shooter and brought Gen. Zollicoffer from
his saddle at the first fire. The rebel staff desert
ed their chief’s body, which was taken to Somer
set the day after the battle.
Hon. John J. Crittenden is deeply affected by
the news from Kentucky, and has not been in the
House since the report of the battle at Somerset
was received. Although he has two sons in the
Union army, the presence of one in the rebel ar
my—his oldest —overwhelms him with grief. The
report that Gen. Crittenden deserted his command
at Somerset is not believed by any who know him.
Rebel though he be, he is accounted gallant and
manly.
Another Fleet tor the South. —The
Yankees are fitting out another fleet for the
South. It is to be called the “Mortar Fleet.”
A late New York paper says :
The “Mortar Flotilla” is progressing rap
idly. Four vessels—the llacer, Griffiths, S.
B. Williams aud Borias, have their arma
ment, a mortar and two long thirty-two
pounders on board. The flotilla, which is
uuder command of Commodore D. D. l’or
ter, is divided into three divisions, respec
tively commanded by Lieutenants WatsoD
Smith, Walton W. Owen, and K. Randolph
Breeze.
The second division, under Lieutenant
Queen, will sail shortly. It is to consist of
seven vessels, five of which are in New York
at private yards, and two in Philadelphia.
Tribute Retprct.
Georgia Barrack#, near Norfolk, Ya., )
January 28th, 1862. f
At a meeting of the Floyd Rifle#, this morning,
the following preamble and resolutions were in
troduced by Lieut. Clifford Anderson, and Unani
: mously adopted’:
For the fijst time since we left our home# death
ha# entered our rank#. lie haa stiickeu down one
of our most loved comrades—-one who wa# genial
and generous, and in whose veins “the milk of hu
man kindness” treely flowed. It fills us with
mournful sadness that Mark Wingfield is dead.
With a constitution weak by nature and already
impaired by long continued ill health, he was nev
ertheless amongst the foremost to testify his devo
tion to the South by enlisting under her banner.
So soon as the tramp of hostile feet was heard, he
buckled on his armor a*d left kiudred and home
to avenge his country’s wrougs and battle for her
liberties. But it was decreed that he should never
eLcounter the foe. Disease had marked him for
one of his victim#, and suddenly—almost without
warning—death has snatched him from among us.
We cannot express the grief we feel at his loss.
A vacancy has been created in our ranks which
cannot be filled. A pleasant companion—a warm
hearted friend—a patriot soldier is gone ! Memorv
will often recall his familiar face and dwell upon
his many virtues.
Resolved, That in the death of M. A. Wingfield,
this company has lost a good soldier, each of us
a valued friend and our country oue of its most
devoted eons.
Resolved, That we deeply sympathise with the
bereaved kindred of our deceased comrade, and
that the Secretary do furnish them with a copy of
these resolutions.
Resolved , That this tribute to the memory of
our friend bo entered on the book of the company
and published in the Macon Telegraph, Journal k
Messenger and Madison Family Visitor.
Lieut. CLIFFORD ANDERSON, -
Commanding Floyd Rifles.
James H. Blount, Sec’y. • -
The Knoxville Register , in concluding & brief
obituary notice of Gen. Zollicoffer, says:
But the hero has goye ! lie fell in the harness
—fell leuding on his gallant men to the charge,
and the last words that dropped from his lips after
the fatal bah had pierced his heart, and he was
reeling upon his charger, was “Go on, go on, my
BRAVE boys! IAM KILLED!”
The brave Zollicoffer will no longer lead on our
forces to victory or to death, but Tennesseeans,
whether fighting upon the shores of the I’otomac,
or upon the plains of Bowling Green, or upon the
banks ot tne Mississippi, will remember his
ism, and will avenge his death.
The Cuthbert Georgian says : Eggs %re now
selling here at ten cents a dozen. I’oik 10 aud
cents lb. Cheap enough.
The same paper observes very philosophically :
Many a poor woman thinks she can do nothing
without a husband, and when she gets one she
finds that she can do nothing with him.
The Richmond correspondent of the
Charleston Mercury, writing in relation to
the disaster in Kentucky, says:
The Enquirer, quasi-official organ, makes
the defeat the text of a sermon to the “par
lor-hcros and paper tigers,” who advocate
the aggressive policy. It says nothing about
the “defensive.” wisdom of selecting a known
drunkard for a Major-General. How hap
pened this disaster? Zollicoffer was pre-emi
nently calm, cool and intrepid, lie did uot
bring this cruel thing to pass, but gave his
life to prevent it. Who did ? I answer—
and I want the answer to go to the whole
Confederacy —George Giitteudcu. Major-
General George Crittenden—turned four
times out of the United States army for
drunkenness—who lay drunk a week, at the
Spotswood Hotel, after he had received his
commission—who lay drunk another week,
in Knoxville, on his way to assume com
mand—he ordered the rash attack, which
has cost us wc know not yet how dearly.
“ Any Port in a Storm.”— Acting on this max’
im, says the Atlanta Commonwealth, it appears
from recent news from Washington that forty ves
sels of the Burnside fleet have run Charon’s block
ade, ferried themselves to the ’(other aide of Styx,
and are at last safe in Davy Jones’ Locker.
Seriously, the incidents of every day confirm us
in the belief that a special Providence takes the
fate of nations in charge, and that the doom of ths
Spanish armada, fitting out to annihiliate our moth
er country, “ Merrie England,” awaits the Lincoln
armad r against the South.
The Richmond IPspatch says : “At least two
hundred thousand foreigners are arrayed under
the banner of Lincoln and endeavoring to subju
gate a country which gave them refuge from des
potism, and to enslave a people who were their
best friends.”
