Notice to planters.
As the season has arrived when some idea
may be formed of the incoming crops, and as
the subject—at least so far as grains are con
cerned—is of more than usual interest, we
invite short letters irom planters throughout
the*Sourh. The quantity of land planted as
compared with last year, the condition of the
crops respectively, the seasons, &c., <fcc M are
matters of public interest and will be read with
avidity. v
Tmc Confederate Postage Stamps.—The
Montgomery Advert uenshye the design for the
Confederate Stamps has been selected and a
contract partially made for a supply. The new
stamp is very beautiful, and quite in contrast
with the old. The size is a trifle larger, and in
the centre is an elegant steel engraving of
Washington, (a front view,) taken from his
weft known portalt painted by Stnart. It will
miet with universal approbation, and will prob
ably meet the public eye early in Junc, or as
icon thereafter as practicable.
The Mothers of ’01.—A member of the
! Oglethopc Light Infantry was asked Tuesday
. how the “old folks at home liked the idea of
his going to Richmond He said a couple
of weeks ago his mother was very much
, worried about it, and tried to dissuade him
from going, but yesterday, she told him if be
f did not go, he must never enter her presence
l^agnin.
iggr- As the Typos of the North claim their
h.Soes for the fight against the South, in the
persons of Vice-Presidents of their local
Unions and of the National Union, we have as
a representative of the Savannah Typographical
Union, its President, Mr. J. IL Estell, a pri
vate in the Oginthorpe«,who goes to meet theai
halfway.
The Associated Press.—The Newspaper
Press have canse for complaint of this AssoclJw
tion. They are getting to Ik* regularly a day be
hind special correspondents, and sometimes
never catch np at all. We believe they have
not vp to this day heard of the recent engage
ment at Norfolk.; if they have, they have failed
to commnuicnte it to their patrons. W'liat’s
the matter V Are we to employ the Associated
Press to collect and telegraph us the latest
news, and then go to the double expense of
paying somebody else to do it for them ?
Reform is needed, and we suggest that a new
association be formed and its executive head
located in the Confederate States.
Executive Address—Preparation* for
War.
An address from Governor Brown in relation
to the best mode of raising money and clothing
for the support of an army duJjSg the war, will
be found in our columns. Tho^object is a no
ble one, and the plaus suggested commend
themselves to the best feelings of our nature.
If carried out, they would weave an unfading
laurel around the brow of Georgia, and should
they be attempted, we promise a hearty co-ope
ration to secure their success.
The great difficulty in the way, to our mind,
is the question Of practicability. If every Geor
gia man and woman were just wliat he or she
ought to be, all doubts would vanish iu a mo
ment. But Georgians share a common mortal-
Ity^ with aW it failings, to a mors or less extent.
A largo majority, wc feel sure, will bo willing
to do their duty, and their whole duty; but.
there are some who arc not willing. Others,
again, may be willing, but for want of organiza
tion and a governing head, may not know how
to begin the work, or whenever begun, grow
careless and indifferent in its performance.—
The arming, feeding, clothing, and support
of an army in time of actual hostilites are mat
ters of too vast a moment to bo subjected to
tho thousand and ono contingencies of a volun
tary contribution. Supplies should be absolute
ly certain, or else, when we least expect it, our
gallant forces may be paralyzed in their strength
and demoralized for the want of a proper sup
port from their government. Wc would make
all their resources sure, and the burthen should
fall equitably upon all, and this, in ouf humble
judgment, will never be accomplished except
under the power and sanction of a legal enact
ment. The lives of our brave volunteers are
too precious, and the Issues of this war too
momentous to the freemen of the South, to be
jeoparded on the uncertainties of a voluntary
policy in giving each the proper support. And
even should it succeed, it is not just in a com
mon cause lor a portion of the people of Geor
gia to bear the burthens of the whole. If money
is to be raised out of the people it matters not
to them whether it be paid to the tax-gatherer
or a committee of citizens, while the former
has the advantage of exacting from each citi
zen—tho willing and the unwilling—his lull
6hare of duty to the State and country.
We throw out these views iu no captions
spirit, but with a deep appreciation of the im
portance of the subject, and a sincere desire to
evolve, by a comparison of opinion, the very
best and surest mode of accomplishing an ob
ject which should lie neaT the heart of every
Georgian.
Should Governor Brown’s plan of attaining
the ends in view be deemed best, wo shall be
ready to give It a more than cordial support.
What we have said is addressed more par
ticularly to the recommendation of a plan for
raising a military fund. The advice to the
ladies is wholly unobjectionable, and we hope
cvevy daughter of Georgia will ply her needle
to the task and contribute something for the
comfort of their brave defenders.
On another point of the address—tho recom
mendation that not a bale of cottonbc allowed
to leave the South during the continuance of the
blockade—wc entirely agree with thoGovernor.
We presented our'viows fully on this topic
some days ago, and would renew the suggestion
that all future shipments be prevented, even
should it require the aid of martial law to effect
the purpose.
Owe Eftct of the Patekt Law.—The law In
relation Ao patents, which was passed a few
days ago', says the Montgomery Advertiser
of the 21st instant, repeals all patents not
not owned in whole or in part by citizens of the
Confederate States on the 4th of February last.
Among those repealed by this law is that for
Morse's Electric Telegraph. This is a matter
of some 'consideration to the old Washington
and New Orleans Telegraph Company, as tliat
patent represented half its stock, and the
patentees, S. B. Morse, Amos Kendall and F.
O. J. Smith, received half Its dividend. It
seems as if the stockholders of this line should
at once take measures fbr a reorganization of
the company, and we mention the fact for the
benefit of stockholders who may uot prop
erly understand tho terms of the Patent Bill.
This is all just as it should bo. The Govern
ment should get rid of this telaeraphic swindle
as soon as possible, and . in addition strike the
shackles from Colt’s. Pat.ents, and others whoso
proprietors hare been bribing Congress for
years for the liberty to plunder tho public.
Fort Pickens.—The fiditor ci tite Montgom
eryMaif.wlio recently visited Pensacola in com
pany with the President aud Congress, says :
“Our own impression, formed while in Pensa
cola, is that there will be no battle at all at
Pickens, or at least that it is not now tho inten*
ion of the Conled erale authorities to attack It. 1
From an Occasional Correspondent.
Gloucester Co., Va., May 15, 1861.
Editor Savannah -Republican .-—Who would
think that within the radius of a dozen miles
frombere the Yankee war steamer was prowling
about like a hungry wolf, while Virginia negroes
were piling up the sand bank, and one of Vir
ginia’s tried sons directing the engines which
no invader is likely to pass ? Yet such are
facts, and one may well believe that the gallant
gentlemen, the hardened fishermen and stout
farmers of this region, will have their mettle
tested before the next equinox, for Gloucester
Point commands the shortest road to Rich
mond. Let any one of observation and intelli
gence visit tills great State, inspect its coast,
glance over its busy cities, admire the thriving
farms which the Railroad exposes to view, then
let him mount some summit of the Blue Ridge,
gaze down into the lovely Valley of the Allc-
gbanies beyond ; let him ask if the people love
their homes, if they are prepared to abandon
the habits of thought stamped upon them in
early youth, nay when upon their mothers’
knees, and that visitor wilt conclude that this
people are not to be subdued. Dwellings inaj’
be laid in ashes, slaves torn rudely from the
master they love, women experience the cares
ses of a vulgar captor; but every additional
wrong will stimulate tho ardor of Virginia,
every defeat will refine the true gold, cast of!
all 6howy dross, and unmask ’hej traitors, from
which no nation was over entirely free. One
poor woman in tills County, when is was re
ported that the enemy Porta-

years old, would not be accepted on account of

The benighted editor of the New York
Herald thinks that if our ports are well block
aded for twelve months, not only will we be
starved, but have no clothes to wear, as all the
white men will be needed for the war. Granted
for reduclio ad abxurdum that they were, we yet
have, when onr shops and then our wardrobes arc
empty, negro girls enough to spin and weave
our cotton and wool, and plenty of ladies to
cut and sew our garments. Let the need come i
and white tapered fingers will accomplish work
thnt we never dreamed of ; and the wives and
daughters of the South equal the women of any
time and country. Did the CartB^genians sup
pose, until their last extremity, that beauty’s
tresses would, like a miracle, help to rig their
hastily constructed galleys ? Da we yet know
the energies aud inventive genius of a people
who, while sendiug away as man}’ colonists aud
adventurers as tho number of settlers from
abroad, have iu three generations reclaimed
from the wilderness. Southern Louisiana and
Kansas exempted, all the settled country south
of the Ohio and Missouri rivers? Distrust net
yourselves, rny countrymen I Lctlhe Yankees
blockade every harbor and inlet of our coast,
and bnlld a huger than Chinese wall along
Mason and Dixon’s line, then let them keep
watch and ward ovsr us for twelve years ; and,
by the immortal gospel revealed to us, und the
glorious Anglo-Saxon blood which we inherit,
the end will find us a truly richer, happier, and
purer people.
Blessed be those that die by war, martyrs to
the cause of truth ; and blessed those who pass
the bitter contest, for, by the immutable laws
of God, the Southern people must reap a rich
reward! Two days ago a Richmond lady, on-
of the prettiest, most bewitching little coquette i
in the South, said that she had daily, with ■*
sewing machine, been turning out work for the
soldiers, aud that quantities of military caps
had been made by the Richmond ladies.
Many of our ladies can mako as beautiful a
bonnet as the Parisian milliners. The same
ingenuity and skill can take other channels
when needed—no matter if a little raw material
be spoiled at the beginning.
Tho Tredegar Iron works at Richmond, the
excellent machine 6hops of our own Central
Railroad, the machines for making percussion
caps starting up at tho South, are a small earnest
of what wo can do. If this stagnation of our
commerce confinu*', many occupations must
be changed. Each young mau should be taken
by the hand and shown where he can best
serve himself and his country. And if it be in
manual labor, let him go at it like a man.

Address from Gov. Brown*
Executive Department,
MUledgeville, May 17, 1861.
To Vic People of Georgia :
By their wicked and unprovoked aggressions
upon our rights, our Northern neighbors have
driven us out of the Union established by our
fathers, and are now waging an unjust and un
holy war upon ns, and attempting to over
throw the Government of equality" established
by us for our own protection. They are col
lecting a large military force upon our borders.
They threaten to Invade onr territory with large
armies ; to sweep over it with fire and sword •
to incite our slaves to insurrection and mur
der ; to violate the sanctity of our homes, and
to inflict the most cruel and outrageous wrongs
upon our wives aud daughters. They appeal
to the rerv basest passions of the human heart
for the purpose of exciting their soldiers, and
preparing them for the execution of their dia
bolical plans of rapine and plunder. * They
promise to apportion our lands and divide otir
substance among their base mercenaries. In
some of their largest cities, “beauty and booty”
are made the rallying cry to induce the lowest
rabble to enlist against us.
In aid to the Government of Mr. Lincoln,
now a military despotism, disregarding all
Constitutional guarantees aud restrictions,
while engaged in an unholy crusade against us,
the people of the North are making large con
tributions from their private funds to equip
aud support troops in the field to fight against
the South.
The Government of the Confederate Suites,
which is the Government of our own choice,
and is entitled to the fullest confidence and
most cordial support of every true Southern
heart, has called for troops to meet these
wicked invaders in the field ot battle and to
drive them back.
Georgians have responded nobly to the call.

unnecessary luxury, and devote all to our

We hope for an early peace; but, if we are

| Crops In Harris.
Waterly Hall, Harris Co., May 20, 1861.
Grain crops in this section have not been so
promising in many years; double the yield is
expected. Corn is not large, but regular and
healthy, and with propitious seasons from this
out, everybody will make a plenty and some
to spare. A quarter to a third more land
planted than last year. Cotton is small but
good stands. Yours respectfully,
N. P. C.
friends, their wives, their children, and all cUe
that was dear to them on earth, and are now in
the field submitting to all the privations of
camp life and enduring all the hardships and
fatigues of war lor the defence of our glorious
common cause. Thousands more of our fellow-
citizens must soon follow.
While our gallant soldiers have our warmest
sympathies and our most fervent prayers, shall
they not also have onr material aid, 'and shall
we not see to it that all the actual wants of
themselves and their families are supplied ?
The Government of the Confederate States
having been recently organized, and having to
encounter an expensive war during the first
mouths of its existence, cannot be expected to
supply promptly all things necessary to the
comfort of large armies in the field.
The people of Georgia pay less tax in propor
tion to the value of their property than the
people of any other Stale in either confederacy.
The aggregate value of our private property 'is
nearly eight hundred millions of dollars. We
could contribute tea millions of this to the sup
port of our soldier*, as a free-will offering, and
feel none the poorer.
Let us uot, then, subject ourselves to heavy
taxation, or our posterity to heavy debt, but let
us show to the world that we arc fully enlisted
in the noble cause of freedom, and that we have
the ability and the will, by private subscription,
to clothe aud feed our glorious and gallant
troops in the field and their families at home,
while they are defending our wives, onr chil
dren. our homes and altars.
People of Georgia, as your Executive, I ap
peal not to your legislators to tax you, but I
appeal to your patriotism and your well
known liberality in behalf of the soldier and
the soldier’s family. The soldiers must have
clothing. My appeal is first to the iadius.whose
fervent patriotism, burniug zeal, and energetic
action iu our glorious struggle, rekindle iu our
minds the memories of the immortal women
of the Revolution of 1776, and convince us tliat
while our daughters have improved upon their
intelligence and refinement, and have more pe
cuniary ability to act, they have abated nothing
of their patriotism and their devotion to the
cause of freedom. I know, therefore, that my
appeal to the women of Georgia w ill meet a
hearty and cordial response,
I request that each lady iu Georgia prepare
at as early a day as she conveniently can, such
contribution of soldiers’ clothing as she may-
desire to make, out of such material and of
such color as she may ho able to command—
any kind of homc-mado cloth will bo accept
able—and that eaclijone deposit her contribution
with tho Clerk of the Superior Court of the
county of her residence, who is requested to
act as agent to receive it, and to keep a book in
which ho will enroll the name of each contrib
utor, with an account of her contribution. The
Captains and Justices of the Peace of each mil
itia district in the State are respectfully re
quested to appoint meetings in their respective
districts, and to bring this question before tho
people, and to act as agents for the ladies of
their districts in forwarding their contributions
with a correct accouut of tho articles contri
buted by each to the Cl*;rk of the euporior
Court of the county. As the contributions are
brought in, tho clerk is requested, at conve
nient. intervals, to box and ship them at tho
expense of the Stale to the Quartermaster Geo
oral of this State at Miiledgeville, placing iu
each box a letter, giving the name of the coun
ty from which it comes. I cannot doubt
that all the railroad and express companies in
this State, with their aeenstomed liberality, will
iorwardall such packages to the Capitol lree of
charge.
So soon as the donations in each county have
ceased to be made, 1 request the Clerk of the
Superior Court to tran.-mit the book contain
ing the names of the donors, with the acconnt
of the donation of each, to the Executive Office,
to bo deposited among tho permanent records
of the State. If each lady in the State should

Georgia troops.
1 request the Justices ot the Inferior Court of
each county, or an}’ two or more of them, to
act as agents for this purpose, and to appoint
such persons in the different Militia Districts as
they may think proper to assist them. I sug
gest that books of subscription be opened in
each county on the first Tuesday in Juno next,
or so soon thereafter as may be convenient, ana
tliat public meetings be held in each county for
the purpose of discussing the question and so
liciting subscriptions.
I have requested our able and faithful Comp
troller General to make out from the tax books
and publish a statement of the amount which
would be the just proportion of each county,
should each determine to coutribute its part of
tho one million dollars proposed to be raised.
The Treasurer of this State, on being informed
by the Justices of the Inferior Court of the
amount of the donation of the county, will
direct tho manner of its transmission to the
treasury, and will receipt for the amount. The
Justices in each county are respectfully request*
ed, so soon aa the books of contribution are
closed, to transmit them to the Executive
Office that they may be preserved among the

As the Executive of tho State, I will present
a beautiful flag of tho Confederate States to tbe

Mr. Breckinridge.—Tho Memphis Argue of
the 19th Instant puts to rest the Abolition story
of this gentleman’s taking office in the Lincoln
army. It says : “We aro advised, by a reliable

that the charge was instantly aud indignantly
denied, and tli&t there never was tho least loun.

dom than Kentucky’s favorite eon—John C.
Breckinridge.” "
The Wilmington (N. C.) Herald, a very
excellent paper, has suspended for the want of
proper support. Advertising has ceased almost
wholly, and collections are out of the question.
We fear many of us would find ourselves in the
same condition. If we only had the courage to
balance accounts.
The War and Cotton.
Tho London Timex of the 4th of May has the
following:
In consequence of the high prices of cotton
a reduction of 7j<j per cent, in wages has been
determined on by the millowners in tho west
of Scotland.
The Manchester Guardian of tho 4th of May
remarks:
The spread of tho separation movement in
America, and the increasingly menacing atti
tude of the antagonistic States have again
stirred up the spirit of speculation In the Liv
erpool cotton market, ahd imparted a further
upward tendency in prices. Tlio producers of
gome kinds of yarns made from American cot
ton are prompted by the above intelligence to
abstain from attempting sales, or to add one-
eighth of a penny per pound to their quotations
of price. But, as stated In onr previous re
ports, the impending civil war creates an ap-
g rehenslon of commercial mischief in the
tates, and, consequently, of monetary disturb
ance In Europe. Bankers and discounters are
thus rendered more cautious, and so are the

The Liverpool Tone*, 4th May, says:
The Supply of Cotton.—Already the effect* of
thi*lamentable strife are beginning in reach us.
We have now ouly twenty-three weeks’ con
sumption of Amoricau cotton in this country
and at sea, which must speedily oompel the
spinners to lessen their production—an event
ouly inferior to the miseiy it will cau*e to the
civil strife now passing in America. The stock
of East India cotton held In this port is consid
erable, being 200,000 bales, against 90,000 bales
at this time last year, and great exertions will
be made throughout the cotton districts in In
dia to occupy the ground which the American
planters have vacated : but all changes of this
kind must necessarily bo progressive, and it is
clear that we have very discouraging prospects
to look In the face arising out of the unhappy
position of affairs in tho Western world.
Wocld'nt Go.—The Newburyport Herald
has a correspondent accompanying tho eighth
Massachusetts regiment. Speaking of bin pas
sage through Maryland, he says :
“Quo gentleman offered to give me a nigger,
if I could induce any one of the thirty ho had.
off our supplies from abroad. A kind Provi
dence lias blessed us witii tbe means of making
within our own limits almost everything neces

monopoly of tho great stapio which the world
cannot do without. It Is said our enemies ex
empt cotton from blockade. Why ? Because
they cannot do without it. I appeal to our
planters, therefore, to refuse to ship a bag while
the blockade lasts. This will soon remove tho
blockade from our ports, and the increase of
price will ampiv reward you for tho loss you
may sustain while you keep your cotton oa
hand. I trust our people will hold public meet
ings and petition the Government at Montgom
ery to lay an absolute embargo upon cotton,
permitting not one bug to pass out of the Con
federate States while the blockade Is maintained.
I appeal to onr capitalists to go to work vigor

as we most need. I also appeal to our planters
to redouble their energies for tho production of

Tl»e Southern Blockade and Privateers.
Mr. K wart, representing the greatest empo
rium of American trade which exists not ouly in
this country, but in the world, is naturally eu-
ongh anxious to ascertain the amount of pro
tection which her Majesty's ministers are pre
pared to afford to British commerce in the Gulf
of Mexico, i ilia Interpellation ww in every
sense equally timely aud necessary. Mr. JeflC-r-
son Davis, fhe President of the Southern Con
federation, anticipating by a lew days the action
of the federal government, has stated his inten
tion of commissioning privateers. He has
practically thrown down a challenge a;.d insti
tuted a policy which the North, to" insure suc
cess, has only to imitate and enforce.
But, considering that the great staple export
of the South Is cotton, upon every bale of which
the new confederation has lately levied a war
tax, the legality of this trade, whether carried
o» in foreign or American ships, becomes a
matter of deep and serious conridcrntion. The
South possesses no commercial marine which
could uot be easily swept from the sens by the
privateers of New York and Boston ; but ‘if the
privilege of issuing letters of marque were once
conceded to the insurgents, the whole of the
commerce between Europe and America would
be placed in a position of imminent peril and
danger. Upon these circumstances, Lord John
Russell, in reply to Mr. Evart, simply stated
that her Majesty’s government felt very deeply
that it was imperative on them to take all pos
sible means to avoid any participation in this
lamentable conflict, and that nothing but the
Imperative duty of ptotecting British interests
could justify them in interfering, adding these
emphatic words : “We are now free, and for
God’s sake let us keep ont of the quarrel.”
We do not imagine that the British ship
owners, with the fenr of risks and insurances
before their rves, will bo rash enough to en
deavor to carry on an illicit and lucrative
trade, by accepting the protection which either
belligerent may offer. There cau be no doubt
that the President, in strict interpretation of
the law, has a right to declare a blockade of
the southern ports, and treat southern priva
teers, when capured, as pirates. With regard
to the one, he has this condition to observe,
namely ; tliat the blockade be effectual, which
has always been the American practice, as well
as tha rule which was recognized by the late
treaty of Paris. With regard to the employ
ment of privateers, the American government
has always maintained a position of isolation.
It lias refused to surrender the privilege of
granting letters of marque, except the couces-
siout- were accompanied by the assertion of the
rule that iu time of war all commerce uot con
traband of war should enjoy equal immunity
upon land aqd sen. This js not only u falla-*
cious, but an impossible doctrine, because we
all know from history that property on land,
whenever tho exigencies of war require it, is
as liable to confiscation and destruction as
goods at sea.
But Mr. Liucoln is acting iu strict conformity
with precedent in declaring that ho will treat
and pun'sh all southern privateers as pirates.
In tho Mexican war. when it was supposed that
foreigners might be disposed to intervene in the
contest on behalf of Mexico, Mr. Polk issued a
proclamation declaring that lie would deal with

federal government is engaged in war with the ma T 17
southern insurgents, whose independent aud
separate existence, either dejnre or joct* has
never yet been recognized by any power io the
world. In contemplation of public law thev
are simply rebels ; and, as against them, th’e
policy which Mr. Lincoln 1ms announced is not
only valid iu itself, but is one which foreign na
tions are bound to admit and respect. Believing
that the present movement can only be effectu
ally repressed by a maritime war which, bv de
priving the South of its resources, would "in all
probability speedily reduce tho new confedera
tion tp national bankruptcy, we think that Mr.
Lincoln has acted wisely and in conformity
with strict law in having availed himself of th’e
means which, it must be admitted, he can ex
ercise without offense or Injury to any foreign
power. To preserve that policy of neutrality
which Lord John Russel, last night so forcibly
expressed is the duty of this country. Inter
ference can do no good either for commercial
erpolitical purpost*s. The civil war which un
happily rag< » in America must bo left to work
itself out. however disastrous its results may
be upon the foreign trade und manufacturing
iudustry of this country.

St. Louis, May 17.—A detachment of volun-
unteers surrounded the town of Potosi, on the
Iron Mountain Railroad, on Tuesday night, in
consequence of Unionists being driven away
from there, and one hundred and fifty citizens
made prisoners. • The Unionists were liberated
and the seoe-sioulsta were then released on their
parole. Nine of the lenders were lodged in the
arsenal »ta prisoners of war.
Four hundred pigs of lead were seized at the
lead factory while returning. A secession com
pany of cavalry was dispersed at Desotn and
thirty horses seized. The volunteers also raised
the American flag on the pole erected for the
secession flag. Two prominent secessionists
there and at Victoria were captured.
Thirteen Union families have arrived at St.

various towns on the Pacific Railroad.
