The Progress of Insanity.
TDe country has been gravely and geutea
lionsly informed, that those stern and patriot
e citizens who look with alarm and indigna
tion upon the recent movements for peace
via Reconstruction,'' are crazy. This re
winds us of a joke. A gentleman visiting a
Lunatic Aasylum met, in one of its inmates,
an old friend and “Why ”
*aul he. ‘‘how calm; you ia this place?"—
‘Well," r.-iu irked the Lunatic, “I took up a
notion Mutt all the people in my section of
•ountiy witm fools, and they said I was one}
and thov being in the tutti—’tj, „ ut mc here /
But yohiHS/' f.^ida—if it is. evidence of in
fanit v to feel and expres*ft weli-founded anx
iety at*,*I‘ie 1 ‘ie efforts wliich are being made to
recoii'-'rn ■' 'lie Uni*> > under the puiae of
‘ l'ea' t Negoiia l tons” ami t “Odnvcntions of
States" —then public indications of the spread
the malady should excite serious appreheu
sio.i. The disease is spreading with fearful
rapidity, and hat* reached some high in hii
thority. Recently ihe Governors of several
sister States of the Confederacy, met in coun
cil in a neighboring city. Contrary to tiic
prediction: of the learned pundits, famiti .r
with roads to peace and the symptoms of ma
nia they first and unanimously resolved upou
a "prosecution of the roar for the peace and In
dependence ot the Confederate States.' As
from (his indication it would seem that the
disease has coinmenet?d its ravages in out
own State, we may be permitted to express
the hope tln,t all our people, anu more espec
ially the vviole of this community, may fall
victims to iw touch. Still more recently oue
ot die largest meetings ever held in the city of
Columbia, assembled to take into considera
tion the case ot Mr. Boyce, the apostle of the
Reconstruction movement. It was composed
of the most respectable, intelligent aud worthy
tii uteri- ot that gallant ecctiou. With that
courtesy and fairness which auiuiates brave
and honorable
/md gave him a fair and impartial hearing in
his defence. He said that he had always been
opposed to secession, that the mere fact of the
North driving us from fair participation with
our peculiar institution in the territories ex
clusively won by Southern blood and valor,
was a matter of little consequence to him ;
reiterated the sentiments of Ins letter; said
something silly about taking a box oi'gold with
him te buy the North Western States to go for
Reace in a National Convention, &c., Ac.—
The poor, deluded maniacs who listened to
him, were not convinced by his argumeuts or
appeals, aud immediately resolved that he was
by reason of hi» views aud their public ex
pression, unworthy to represent theoufurther
in ibe Councils of the Nation. What anguish
and sorrow must this action have carried to
übc bosoms of the happy families of Columbia.
To know and nee that their fathers, sons, hus
bands and brothers had, from sane, accom
plished uud cultivated m?u, suddenly become
confirmed aud incurable maniacs. Perhaps
the splendid assylum for these unfortunates
which is an honor and ornament lo that city,
is now already overflowing, and without the
aid of some of ms coadjutors on this side the
line, Air. Boyce will not he able to minister to
the necessities of the miserable sufferers.
While on ibe subject, we may say that ail
indications establish the fact that the South
ern mind is fast reachit g the only safe and
practicable ground on whioh to stand in rela
tion to Peace negotiations. Generals Lee and
Hood are the great negotiators—and under
their leadership, march a stalwart band of
I’.icilivatbrs The South cannot take counsel
0! her fears. In the brave hearts aud strong
arms of her sons, lie her honor, her safety and
her peace. In the language of the gifted aud
lamented McDuffie—a cry of Peace from the
North, is but the
“Bugle blast of the Robber band.”
A wail for Peace front the South, makes one
“Scent Treason on the tainted gafe.’
7:30 Notes.— For the information of our |
readers, we will state that the Confederate |
Congress exempts from taxation the funds of
Guardians and Administrators, when invested
♦
in the above notes. As they are now not ;
worth more than 70 cents, we think no better
means of investment could be offered. All
other species of Bonds aud Stocks are subject ,
lo a tax greater than the amount of the divi- ,
tlends they pay.

The bitterness of feeling already stirred up
among the Yankees by their Presidential canvass,
‘may be inferred from the remark of the New York
Timeß, that it had “rather see Sen. Lee capture
Washington than Gen. McClellan enter it as Pres*
identand the reply of the Journal, that “the
Republican leaders are traitors, not less wicked
and even more pitiless than the leaders es the
armed rebellion.”

Th« Montgomery Advertiser of ihc 22d instant
any* :
AVe had a call yesterday front Mr. Warren
Adams, the Trans Mississippi courier, who left
Hood • army at 1 ©’clock Tuesday afternoon, near
Biuo Pond, Cherokee county, in this State, and
within thirty-Bix miles of the Tennessee river.
The army was on the advance, and probably ha
this time is over the river. The troops were in
the highest spirits, and eager for the work before
them. The ranks had been considerably recruited
by the return of stragglers, deserters, and others.
Lp to that time the movement had been com
pletely successful. Delightful weather had pra
* the army was well provided except in
the article of shoes. Beauregard was on his re
turn to the army with large reinforcements. Gen.
Hood was very popular with the troops. Sboman
was evidently out-generaled this time.
Mr. Adams confirmed the statements of our
correspondent “Dunleith” as to the capture of Til
ton and Dalton, and the fight at Rome. He passed
five hundred white prisoners who were en route for
Selma. A: Acworth, the garrison had had but
two rations for six days before its capture: and
the garrison at Dalton on’y four rations in six
days. The Yanks, after the light near Rome, re
moved the s iocs from oar horses tbar were killed,
being eviden 1v short of shoes and iron for that
purpose.

papers. # From the National Intelligencer of the
13i’u wo male some extracts.
THE ELECTIONS.
It teems there us considerable doubt as to the
result of the late elections in Pennsylvania, Indi
ana and Ohio. It was at first reported by the
Now York papers time all these .States had gone
for the Republicans by overwhelming majorities.
Tne Intelligencer of tbe 1 Rtb suvs :
The iatest report from Pennsylvania is that the
Democrats have carried the S. ate bj‘ a majority of
about 10,000 votes-. This does not include the
soldiers’ vote, which is claimed to be largely in
favor ot the Administration. The Republican
majority last, year was upwards of 15,000. The
Democrats are reported to have lost several mem
bers of Congress. The Republican majority in
the city and county of Philadelphia is about
Ohio, as was expected, has gone for the Repub
licans Tire majority, however, is largely reduced
liom last year. The Republicans now estimate it
at 50,000 ; last year it was 100,000. In this State
also the Democrats lose several members of Con
gress. ,
Indiana, according to tbe telegraphic reports,
bus also gone lor tbe Republicans, aud there also,
it is said, the Democrats have lost two or three
members of Congress. The reports from this State
are very meagre.
The election which commenced yesterday in
Maryland Will be continued to-day in all parts of
tbe State except the city of Baltimore, where the
polls closed last evaaiug. In that city, we take it
for grautod that a large majority was given for
the new Constitution, but we had no report of the
vote at the time of going to press.
The majority given yesterday against the new
Constitution in Prince George’s county is 1,200
votes. At Upper Marlboro’, out. of 155 votes cast,
only three were in favor of it.
THE FREMONT MOVEMENT.
It has been popularly supposed that, the radical
movement which culminatad in the Cleveland Con
vention, and in the nomination of G< >. Fremont,
was a pretty decided failure: but the New York
organ of that movement, -the New Nation, con
tends that the ‘'Radical Democracy,” before merg
ing with the supportors of Mr. Liucoln, had al~
roady accomplished three most useful things. It
says:'
“Wo continued the struggle, and by tho pressure
exercised, and the energetic opposition of the
party, we have obtained three things which are
not without importance. First—The Baltimore
Platform. Second —Blair’s dismissal from the
Cabinet ; that is to say, tho exit of the element
most hostile to our ideas. Third —Wejiave defini
tively and irrecoverably forced Lincoln to pledge
himself to*Abolitionism. Have we lost our time?
Have we expended our efforts its vain?”
OEATII < F CHIEF JUSTICE TANEY.
The Intelligencer, in announcing the death bf
the venerable Chief Justice Taney, says :
Wo regret to announce that the vtuerable Chief
Justice Taney is no more.
This announcement wilt carry sorrow to the
hearts of the people among all who hold him in
reverence for the high qualities he brought to the
discharge of his duties at the head of the supreme
judicial tribunal of the country* Full of years
and full of honors, ho has passed away from the
scenes which he illustrated by his learning and
virtue, leaving behind him a reputation as much
distinguished by the superior dignity of his char
acter as by tho extraordinary vigor of intellect
which sustained and graced the closing years of
his long, laborious, and career. He died
last night at ton minutes before ten o’clock.
Addison Brown, of Georgetown has been sen
tenced to five years’ imprisonment at Fort Dela

burne’s command, with 1,300 infantry and a

ports, convoyed by two gunboats, at three
o’clock P. M., on the 19th inst , met the en
emy under Geu. Forrest, commanding in per
son, at East Point, with two batteries, and
wa3 repulsed, with a loss of 20 killed and
26 wounded and missing.
All the guns of the battery were lost, and

the duty of every good and loyal citizen to j
give information, without delay, to any enroll
ing officer, of ell skulkers and hiders from
military dutv. There are many such delin
quents at large ; and it is due to our gallant
soldiers in tnt* army —it is due to all who have
sons, brothers or other kinsmen in the army—
it is due to the cause of the country—that
steps should at v>nce be taken to place those
in the rank* who are meanly and cowardly
skulking from the performance of their duty,
and thus imposing additional ourdens on our
gallant, sol lier.- in the field.

“Breaking Down the Rebellion by Cotton.”
—Some very remarkable and important orders
have recently been issued T/y Yankee General
Herron in the military district of Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, of which he is commandant, in regard
to the free trade in cotton aud other merchandise,
reducing all commercial dealings to a monopoly,
subject to ti e control of a Government special
agent. All licenses for trade stores are revoked;
no one is permitted in future to continue or open
a store for the sale of any -article without a permit
from thie special aggnt, under penalty of arrest
and confiscation of his property to the Treasury
Department; neither can any one purchase nor
ship any of the products of the country without
permission from this agent. The New York Her
ald, objects to the exercise of such power by a-
Government official, on the ground that it “very
seriously affects the success of the Union
cause.”

Knoxville Items.— Brownlow's Whig, of
the 31st of August, announces that eight com
panies of militia have been organized to fall
upon the thieves and robbers of the rebel per
suasion, with the following tory gentlemen
as Captains: John Baxter, W. G. Brownlow,
John Netherland, E. C. Trigg, Perry Dicken
son, A. A. Kyle, Johu M. Fleming, Mont
gomery. In addition to these eight compa
nies, O. P. Tem'ple is raising the ninth. These
valiant Captains will doubtless soon have an
opportunity of meeting the thieves and rob
bers whom they have been organized to resist,
and we may expect to see the fur fly : for By
ron has poetically assertsd that
When Greek meets Greek,
Then comes the tug of war.
Captain John Baxter and Captain John M.
Fleming, of Knoxville, both took the oath of
allegiance to the Southern Confederacy. They
are now officers of a military organization, in
arms against the Confederacy. They are
both lawyers, and men of some literary at
tainment. Can they define the value of an
oath, mentally or legally ?—Knoxville ( Bristol )

A letter from Senatobia says the enemy are
still fortifying Memphis with earthworks and

of leaving a small garrison to hold the city,
while tho main foroo is sent on a raiding expe

been sent to White’s station on the Memphis &
Charleston railroad. We do not concur in the
opinion above advanced. There are but few
troops in any of the river towns now. Rosecraas
has drawn every spare man to the defence of St.

soon be called upon to concentrate for the de

SPECIAL NOTICES
HEADQ’RS CONSCRIPT SERVICE FOR
Georgia, Augusta, Oct. 17th, 1861.
CiRCLAR No. 18.
To County Enrolling Officers;
Pursuant to orders from the Major General Com
manding the Reserves and District of Georgia, you
and all others engaged in the conscript service are
commanded to apply yourselves with renewed en
ergy and diligence to the important duties with
which you are charged. The fact is established that
in every county of the State there are numbers of
men between-the ages of 17 and 50 who have never
been enrolled and hitherto evaded the service whioh
they owe their country, which the law obliges them
to render, and which the voice of patriotism, the
importance of the crisis, and the call of their gal
lant brethren in arms have failed to induce them to
perform. It is your duty to sec that these men be
no longer allowed to enjoy this inglorious ease, and
to save them from the shame and degradation
which await them when our independence is won.
;n the esteeu of those brave men and noble women
to whose valor and devotion, under Providence,
these priceless boons will be due.
The ranks of our armies must be filled. The bat
tle scarred veterans, who, for four years have stem-
med tho tide of invasion and held at bay the savage
and powerful foe which still pollutes our soil, must j
be strengthened and animated by the presence of i
fresh men by their side. The glorious battle flags
which bear upon their ta tered folds the names of so
many victories which have rendered our country
famous throughout the world, must be upheld and
supported by the many stout arms whose strength
has not yet been put forth in the defence of their
homes, their fortune and their honor.
It is also a fact known to all that there are thous
ands of deserters and absentees from the army scat
tered throughout the State, wlio, were they now'
present beside their faithful comrades, could drive
the enemy beyond our borders, and before the win
ter frests sot in, conquer our independence and a
cessation of war.
•It is your duty to have these misguided men ar
rested and returned to their commands. They have
committed the most infamous crime of which a sol
dier can be guilty, and deserve the terrible punish
ment which the laws of their country and the usa
ges of war have awarded to their offences. Their ,
only hope of clemencey at the hands of the Execu- j
tive depends on their piornpt abandonment of their
present life of lawlessness and peril and their return
to the ranks in winch they swore to serve during
the war. Let constant efforts be directed to the ar
reset of these men. Let every hole aud corner; let
every swamp and forest in your respective counties
in which these wretched men’now find a preca
rious shelter, be searched and penetrated by your
selves and your assistants, until every deserter has
been arrested, and your vigilance and energy have
proved that escape from capture is no longer possi
ble. If you need aid in the performance of this
duty, call upon the sheriff and other civil officers
of the county, and, under the repeated orders of the
Governor of the State, they are oblieed to assist,
you. The officers commanding local companies, re
cently organized in the different counties by order
of the Major General Commanding the Reserves,
are also bound to aid you, and the great body of the
inhabitants, aware that the safety of their relatives
and friends now in the field and of their families at
home; the possession of their property, their lives,
their liberty, depend on the success of our arms and
our ability to hold our ground against the vandal
hosts by which we are beset, will assuredly not fail
to second your efforts to send into the ranks every
man who properly belongs to them, whether ho be
one who owes military service and has failed to dis
charge his debt, or he be one who has b /sely desert
ed the flag of his country in the face of the enemy
when she most needs the best services of aU her sons.
The duties entrusted to you are onerous, but they
are eminently honorable when faithfully perform
ed. Most of you have served with honor and fideli
ty in our army, and the wounds of many attest
their valor on the field. Let the same spirit that
animated you in confronting . the foe, inspire you
nowin the performance of your present duty, and
let the consciousness that upon you, to a larve ex
tent, depends the speedy and successful termination
of the war, impel you to put forth all your energy
and thus earn the highest reward a soldier can ob
tain —the gratitude of his country.

Headquarters Georgia Reserve,]
aud Military District of Georgia,
Macon, Ga., Oct. 20, 1564. J
The movements now being made to redeem everr
position of Georgia from the occupation of tbe
enemy, will be attended with success, if her own
people will do their duty. The active and faithful
discharge of this duty by every man who owes ser
vice to his country, alone is necessary to accomplish
the result. To effect this result a4 once, is the ob
ject of this circular.
All offictrs belonging to this command, especially
enrolling officers, are instructed to use renewed
efforts in enforcing all Orders lor the return of ab
sentees to their commands, as well as sanding for
ward those who have so far failed or refused to re
port. These < ffieers are notified that they must see
to it that every man in their respective counties or
districts, who belong to the Confederate army, either
of tbe field or the Reservo, is made to report at
once to their proper commands; and in case of the
men belonging to the Militia, they will report to
these Headquarters the names of all such found at
home without proper authority. It is the fixed
purpose of both Confederate and State authorities
that the meirwho can serve the country in this crit
ical juncture, shall do it, aud no effort will bespared
by either to eL *t iui, result. Not only to officers,
but to every good citizen is the appeal made to
bring into the service every man able to do duty iu
the field.
A few weeks of faithful service by every mania
Georgia able and liable to do it, would drive the
last enemy from our soil and rid the State forever of
their hateful presenoe.
Georgians! the destiny of your State is in our
hands. Now is the time to strike the blow; and if
tbe enemy is not driven from your soil it will be
your fault, not theirs.

interest payable on the first days of January and

that they are better than any investment paying
