LOOKOUT FOR BREAKERS! jiue friend has enclosed to us the Columbus Sun containing a long and able article signed “Geor gia,” which we are not able to publish this week. A1 o, the following which all interested will do well to heed, especially the growers ami deulers in cotton. We have no donht hut the present political re volution w ill work one equally great and import ant in the industrial and economic policy of the South. Whether the one or the other will prove ultimately and permanently salutary depends much upon the people themselves. If she makes an idol of cotton, and bows down and worships it, Hie will never be able to maintain a proud and prosperous and independent nationality. Never! but ivud the following articles. The first is from the Columbus Sun and the other from the Charles ton Courier: A Letter through the Blockade.—A gentle man m tiii a city has just received a letter, through the blockade, from his Liverpool correspondent, win, 11 sided in the South ovei twenty years. We ui permitted to make Ihe following extracts from tie letter, which is dated January 31, 180.2: To my great atisfaction,, I received, yesterday, vo i letters of December 20lh ; nil previous letters, after November 28th, have failed w> reach nie.— No inters, by the Tampico route, have come to and the talk upon Change is, that that route ‘ 1 fiiluro. Don’t make any advances on cotton; II will he a long time before it. can be shipped, and n,,! f'Otton dealers and manufacturers look for very low prices when the blockade is removed. They siy that the large supply from India and other places, brought to market by our present high prices, together with gour crop now on hand, added so the crop pour planters will soon put in the y'i>und t even if only part of a crop, w ill swell the 'in.unity to be thrown on our markets, and produce very low prices. Our people almost universally sympathise with your Confederacy. We all be lieve that you cannot be conquered if you are united and determined. Our government no doubt entertains the same view, but appears resolved to act the part of neutrals, and thus leave you to light it out.” Cotton in India. —Vast efforts arc now making in Croat Britain to increase the growth of cotton in India, ami also to improve its quality. Ity the extension of the railroad system now gradually penetrating ail parts of that peninsula, and steam boat navigation on the rivers, the means of getting the staple to market are constantly growing bettor, and companies are being formed, with largo capi ta!, that propose to offer every facility to enlarge its cultivation, and add to its value for manufac turing purposes. Should the hopes and expectations of many in England be realised, and the present war and blockade last until the Lincoln dynasty goes out ot office, our planters may expect to meet a form* hi able competitor on t lie return of peace. The following statements are made in a prospectus, published in a late English paper, proposing to bum a company with a capital of £500,000 to en- K :l n e hi purchasing cotton in lliudoostan and oth erwise facilitate the trade. “I he growth of cotton in India is at present nearly double that of the Southern States of Ame rica, and admits of an almost infinite expansion, without the stimulant of extreme prices, but only with improved transport. The exports from Bom bay alone increased 60 per cent, in the thirteen years ending 1859, beyond the previous thirteen years ending 181 G, and eighty-five per cent, during the last two years. The quality of some of the cutton in India is now nearly equal to that of New Orleans, but owing to the want ot labor to free it quickly from the seed, imperfect hand churka cleaning, general carelessness on the part of the cultivator, great exposure, both during and after picking the crop, the want of appliances to pre pare it for export and damage in transit, the por tion exported is greatly deteriorated in its traus mission to huiope; besides which it is extensively adulterated by middle men, by whom the trade has been exclusively conducted.” A Problem kor Stingy Men.—By hoarding your money and refusing to contribute toward the equipment of volunteers for the war, you are pav ing the way for the loss of every cent you have in the world—money, land, uegroes, homestead, eve rythiDg. Is it not a good investment, even as a Yankee u calculation,” to expend a third of your wealth and thereby save the remainder? A few thousands of dollars donated to the soldiers of hiborty, is just like putting seed corn in the ground. fruits will be an hundred fold when we obtain hll ultimate victory over our enemies. *"■ W right Lkg ion.— lion.

Y, Flowers Jlßjor,— Atlanta Confederacy SPALDING COU.NTY. At a meeting of the citizens of this patriotic county, some excellent resolutions were passed.— A e copy the following and hope they will he inti tuled and executed in every county: Resolved , That in such a war by such an enemy everv man who dwells among us is bound hot to do all in his power to save us, and next not to do any thing to harm our cause; and such as will not so act and speak, ought at once to Lave us, f w r I we have no time or strength to waste on enemies I around our hearthstones. Re sol red, That we must have a genuine spirit of sincere Fiaternity to enter into and control absolutely in our transactions with one another.— ft must work a perfect brotherhood lo answer r.nr l end. I he whole scheme of money-making out of the the chances and necessities of this war must he crushed by the good will of .every class* ol citizens resolving not to tolerate either in themselves or others the varied schemes ot gain hercto.orc pre valent among us all; evoi v thing sold should be nt former low juice*. Resolved, That to embody us in this struggle we must push the brotherhood lo its utmost verge, each must help others according to his ability in ! all tire varied wants among us. Resolved, That itinerant and all speculators mo i nopolizing articles of nece--itv should be subjected to the penalties of tho law by rigid prosecution; and to accomplish this, Resolved, That the chairman of ibis meeting .appoint a committee of twelve men whose duty ii shall be to piosecute every and all pet sons who may hereafter violate the Act of the last Legisla ture in reference to extortion, and to biing every | such offender to justice for his misdemeanor, and j that we, the people of Spalding, will pay ail ex ■ pen sea in bringing offenders to justice. Resolved, That it is all important to our success I that one and all should abandon the cultivation of cotton except enough to supply our own wants. — Asa prize the present crop is manifestly a’ tre mendous stimulant to our cruel invaders. We be lieve that any farmer violating this resolution is indirectly aiding the enemy. From TenucMsee. R. R. Cheatham, Mayor of Nashville, has issued | a proclamation giving the “satisfactory result” of : an interview between the city authorities and Geo. Buell. He therefore respectfully requests that busi i ness be resumed, and that all citizens of every trad** and profession, pursue their regular avoca tions. The sale or giving away of intoxicating liquors is, however, strictly prohibited. The Nashville correspondent of the New York Times gives a picture of the state- of affairs, from which it appears that the invaders were not re ceived with any great amount of cordialty. We i make some extracts : 1 have spent a good deal of time to-day in con versing with the citizens, and found but little Dnian sentiment. Men asserted that they were not citizens of the United States—didn’t want any protection from the Government, and in several cases even refused to sell any goods to the soldiers or officers. One man said he was a Union man, hut never had dared to say so for fear of being hung ; another said the only two nights’ sleep he had had in two weeks were since the arrival of the National army. Another individual assured me with a very haughty air, that there were no Union men in Nashville except, among mechanics and laborers ; no gentlemen, he said, were anything but Secessionists, or rebels, if I liked the term any better. Gen. Grant and bis staff visited Nashville, and called upon Mrs. James K. Polk. Os the interview the writer says : She received her visitors courteously, but with a polished coldness that indicated sufficiently in which direction her sympathies ran ; she was sim ply polite and ladylike; in no case patriotic. While she discreetly foibore to give utterance to any expression of sympathy for the South, she as rigid ly avoided saying auything that might be construed into a wish for the success of the Government. She hoped, she said, that the tomb of her husband would protect her household from insult and her property from pillage ; further than this she ex pected nothing from the Uniteu States, and desired nothing. The correspondent finds that “ the ladies of Nashville are as full of treason as they are iu oc casional cases of loveliness.” Among the evidences of their contempt for the Yankees, the following is given : Occasionally 1 mot other specimens of Nashville ladies, who, in many cases supposing me to be a soldier, from the possession of a blue overcoat, described upon meeting a wide send circle of avoidence, swinging, as they did so, their rotund ant skirts with a contemptuous tlirt far out, as if the touch ot a blue coat would be contamination. And then the angle at which the noses of the naughty darlings went up, and the extent to which their lips and eyes went down were not the least interesting portion of these little by-plays, and as sisted materially in showing the exquisite breeding of these amiable demoiselles. A later account says—“ Union men begin to make their appearance. They say that a majority will yet be found on our side, but that it will take some time to develop the feeling that has been so thoroughly crushed.” Oltlciu) Report* o!' dir Occupation ol f«» Ik mb us. Gen Ilalleek makes the following report to Gen. McClellan, under date of St. Louis, March 4 : Sir : The cavalry from Paducah marched into Columbus yesterday, at 0 P. M., driving before them the enemy’s rear guard. The Hag of the Union is flying over the boasted Gibraltar of the West. Finding himself completely’turned on both sides of the Miasisippi, the enemy was obliged to evacuate or surrender. Large quantities of artil lery and stores were captured. 11. W. Halleck. The Federal Secretary of the Navy has received a report from Flag-Officer Foote, which we copy : Columbus, Match 41 h, ISG2. Sir : Columbus is in our possession. My direct reeonnoisance on the 2d inst., caused a hasty evacuation, the rebels leaving quite a number of guns and carriages, ammunition and stores, a large quantity of shot and shell, a considerable number of anchors, and the remnant of chain lately stretched across the river, with a large number of torpedoes. Most of the huts, tents and quarters were destroyd. Ihe works are of very great strength, consisting of formidable tiers of batteries on the water side, and on the land side surrounded by a ditch and abattis. Gen. Sherman, with Lieut. Com. Phelps, not knowing that they were last eve ning occupied by 400 of the 2d Illinois cavalry, on a scouting party sent by Gen. Sherman from Pa ducah, made a bold dash to the shore under the batteries, hoisting the American flag on the bluff's. It was greeted by the hearty cheers ot our brave tars and soldiers. The force consisted of six gunboats, four mortar boats and three transports, having on board two regiments and two battalions of infantry, under command ot Col. Buflord, hen. Cullom and Geu. Shennau, being in command of the troops. The former leaving a sick bed to go ashore, dis covered what was evidently a magazine on fire at both extremities, and immediately ordered the train to be cut, and thus saved the lives of the garrison. N\ bile 1 cannot express too strongly my admira tion ot the gallantry and wise counsels of the dis tinguished aid and engineer of Gen. Ilalleck, Gen. Cullom, must add that commanders Dove, Walker and Ntcmbie, and I.ieuts. commanding Paulding, l homson, Shirk and Phelps the latter being in command of the mortar division, assisted bv Lieut. Lieford, of the ordnance corps of the 1 nited States Army—nobly performed their duty. I have my flag on board the Cincinnati, com manded by the gallant Commander StemMe.’ Gen. Sherman remains temporarily in command of Co lurabus. A. 11. Foote, Flag Officer, From the Constitutionaliii ot the 11th Inst, The Fii-nt Georgia Hcgimunt. is regiment of gallant Georgia tioops, which as seen so much haul service .in the mountains of trginia, reached our ci’v on Sunday morning, *nd its members were quartered at the different hotels. Among them were our own Oglethorpe Infantry and Walker Light Infantry—and many were the happy greetings of relatives and friends who had safely returned lo their homes and families. At about 10 oYlock yesterday morning, the regiment assembled on Greene street, in front of Firemen’s Hall, for the purpose of being mustered out ot service. Here, an immense concourse ot citizeus, on foot and in vehicles, had gathered to witness the ceremony. After the iol until had been properly formed. Col. Ram a ay addressed the regiment in an eloquent and appropriate speech. 11.- thanked the soldiers for the patience and zeal which they had displayed, and the strict di eiphne which they had observed in their career and urged them utter they had returned to their homes arid recuperated th<-ir energies, to return once more to the service, to vindicate the honor and name ol Georgia, and add new glories to the first Regiment. At the conclusion of Col. Ramsay’s speech, three heart ?°hoer.s wore proposed and given for the First Georgia Regiment. Lieut. .Stevens, of the Quitman Guards, Then offered a resolution of thanks to the citizens ol Augusta lor their hospitality to the regiment du ring its stay in the city, which was unanimously adopted. Adjutant Palmer then read the order disbanding the regiment. He was followed by Gen. Evans and Col. Clarke, who also made a lew remark's. The concourse then dispersed, with the excep tion ot the Oglethorpe Infantry, who proceeded to the City Cemetery for the jsurposeof paving a last sad tribute ot respect to their deceased comrades, U in. S. Holmes and Win. J. Miller. On arriving at the cemetery, the compauy first formed around the grave of Sergeant Holmes, where an eloquent and impressive prayer was offered up by the Rev. Mr. Mann ; the eomjiany also formed around the grave of Mr. Miller; and then returned to Greene street, where they halted and a motion was made and carried to attend the jaresenlation of a flag to the Georgia Guards. They then marched up to Georgia Fire Engine House, and escorted the Guards to the Augusta Hotel, where the presenta tion took place. After which the company was dismissed. It is a great pleasure to us, in common with all ot our citizens, to welcome back to homes, and pefice, and quiet, these “veterans” of the secoud war of independence ; and to observe that, as a general rule, they are all stout and healthy. The most of them w ill we presume return to the service ot their country ere long, and add new lustre to the name which they hear. Most of the companies from thp interior of the Si ate left on the afternoon trains tor their several homes, where a heart felt welcome awaits these gallant sons of Georgia. . DR CROSS, In a bulletin to the Southern Christian Advocate, from Tennessee, says : NV ere I in a balloon twenty miles nearer the stars, what a photogtaph 1 could give you of the chaos that reigns around me! You should see acres oi dead men at J-ort Donelson ; bomb-shells bursting over Bowling Green ; the fine bridges at Nashville broken and burned ; the city surrendering, w ithout resistance, to the enemy ; twenty thousand Federal troops marching through her streets ; largo quail; titles of Confederate arms and provisions destioy ed , numbers ol tories tossing their hats to heaven, with huzzas tor the l uion ; loyal citizens fleeing southward for sanctuary ; train after train, in quick succession, hurrying away with army stores ; railroad cars crammed with the wounded and the ! colleges and churches everywhere turned into military hospitals; Gen. Johnston, with his whole army, retreating to North Alabama; our homes and families iu the hands of the Yankee marauders and murderers ; and all tilings embla zoned with the proclamation, “Woe, woe to the inhabiters ot the earth and ot the sea, lor the devil hath come down unto you with great wrath, be cause he knoweth that he hath but a short time!” I'lOhUteur* Executive Department, March 11, lsu2.

In the meantime, hopeful that satisfactory explanation may he made, I directed, upon the exhibition made of the case as represented by the senior generals, that they should be relieved from command, to await further orders, whenever a reliable judgment can be rendered on tlie merits of the case. Jefekrson Davis. General McClellan has divided the grand army of the Potomac into five corps de armes.

Mr. Bell procured medicines and the services of physicians at his own expense, while Mrs. Bt-li attended about two hundred sick in the Court House, who had no medicine, no nurse, no physician, and nothing to eat—ves she, like an angel of light, came among the sick, nursed, fed them, and with her husband, secured lor them all the medicine they received. About forty ol the above mentioned siek belonged to the 22d Mississippi Regiment. I speak of the above, for it came under my own observation for two davs during my stay iu Nashville.

The force of the enemy was 22,000, w ith formidable gunboats on the flank, and formidable field batteries in front, and a lie,ivy reserve. Our entire force was about 6,000.

He re tired in good order. Loss on both sides very heavy. This is reliable. Despatches from Van Dorn received by Con gressmen state that on Sunday morning, the yth, he and Price by Hank movement had turned the position of the enemy, and cut off his baggage. Gen. Van Dorn then drew up in line of battle in the rear of the enemy, and sent a Courier to Gen. Albert Pike to hasten up with his G,OOO Indians. Pike was only 20 miles off.

Me learn, also, that Mr. Lewis has accept ed the appointment, and will proceed forth-j with to discharge the duties of the high trust confided.to him. If elevated patriotism, great practical wisdom stern and unbending integrity, arc desirable (jualifioations in a Senator, then in the persons of Dr. Lewis,! Georgia will have one, of whom we predict, she will be justly proud, and the Cdufcdera-j cy one, upon whom in every hour of trial, she may confidently rely. He is not the or ator that some may be, but he will prove the sound, practical statesman, and do honor to the State. Gov. Drown has made a most excellent appointment. He has avoided “ Scylla and Chnrybdis” both, and selected for the vacant post, a tried, true, able and j honest man. —Atlanta I/tfei/n/cuct r. 4'oiafiriii:tttoii «»f Hi isiulici-linioi'. a l*i, j The following list of Brigadior-fiVncrals ; nominated by flic President lias Keen con ! tinned by the Senate in executive session : P.

Tut: Heroic Uijchanan.— The self-abne ! gating heroism of Captain Buchanan, of, | Maryland, commander of the “ Virginia” in : the recent memorable conflict, will be goner-, ally appreciated when it is known that his younger and favorite brother was the Purser of the frigate Congress, at which the fire of the “Virginia” was most pertinaciously di- ’ reeted, and is supposed to have perished on hoard of her. — I*ichnioutl Ena ulcer. Thf. Ckoruia (iunbimt I'rxi*.—The Piigirestiori that the ladies of Georgia contribute to build a gunboat is being responded to by the patriotic ladies of Augusta and its vicinity with characteris tic promptness and zeal, says the Constitutionalist. The influence produced by the noble and untiring efforts of (he ladies in thi- holy war for southern independence cannot well be over estimated, a cause so enthusiastically favored by them will never fail. It must and will inevitably triumph. Mcrder and Robbery.—The Knoxville Register states that a young man named Frank Roth, form erly of that city, was murdered at Chattanooga a few nights sin re. The object of the deed is sup posed to have been robbery, as a large amount of money he was known to have had on his person was missing. The perpetrators hare not yet been discovered. Tennessee River. —We have a rumor, and it seems to be to belief, that the Federal gunboats with their transports (sufficient for a stroug force) have entered and are ascending the Tennessee River.— The probability now seems, that a great bat tle will be fought in that direction at an early day.— Memphis Avalanche , Ydth. Advance or the Feperals.—We have informa tion from several sources that Paris, Tennessee, was occupied by the Federal forces yesterday.— ’ About three thousand, it was thought, composed the advanced guard of the invadcis.
