The Cotton pji -cr’s Convention, recently in
session in this have detennined on hold
ing their sccop ! Fair * n November next; the
place remain^ w ,}C settled upon by the Execu
jority at this precinct It is but fair to add
that this was considered the Captain’s strong
hold, and with this light vote his chances are
wavering. __
FOR THE WARS.
The following companies have been ordered
by Gov. Brown to hold themselves in readiness
to march this week to Fort Pickens: Brown’s
Infantry and the Independent Volunteers of this
city; Quitman Guards, of Forsyth, Monroe
Co-r Nownan Guards, Coweta County; Gate
Oily Guards, Atlanta two companies from
Columbus-and two .from Augista.
It is gratifying to know that this spirited
body of Planters, convinced of the necessity of
continuing and extending their operations in
Europe, have appointed the President of the
Convention, Hon. Ilowell Oobb, on the mis
sion; from the recent satisfactory operations of
Mr. Cobb in'Europe, we may reasonably sup
pose that his present appointment will be equal

A BITTER PILL.
The Tribune’s correspondent telegraphs from
Montgomery that matters are going forward
in the Southern Confederacy at an astonishing
pace towards an early accomplishment of its
most cherished hopes. Greeley puts in a re
joinder by way of a cooler to this fire eating,
lightning element which has so suddenly seized
an inch or two of his truly valuable and effec
tive organ for the suppression of truth. Among
other, things, his correspondent advises that
New York should get down on her knees and
ask admission into the ranks of the elect—
Greeley with his maidenish coyness, affects
dissent from such an alliance as his chances for
political elevation might suffer thereby, and
again he may have a glimmering of another el
evation which is always repugnant to the disci
pies of “freedom.” -
Now, it generally takes two parties to make
a bargain of accession—although we have de
monstrated that secession can be consummated
by one party—and for any good secessionist to
imagine for one moment the horrid spectacle of
the proposed accession with Greeley, Weed,
Kennedy and many othcrsjiving under the pro
tecting regis of the Southern Confederacy.- Tru
ly can say “ i.-n't that a putty dish to ~ t
before the King!” No, no Horace you need

act for the establishment of protective duties on
a most extravagant scale. If it were designed
to condemn the very principles of free trade,
and to introduce those of protection, as forming
the only true theory of international commerce,
it could rot be more strongly framed. The du
ties imposed by the bill are not only immoder
ately high, but they arelevicd upon imports of
the first necessity. The articles taxed are not
mere luxuries, or commodities entering into the
consumption of. the opulent alone. It is upon
cotton goods, woolen goods and hardware that
the imposts,will fall, and go enormous aro the
duties proposed that the result can be little

a» similar position in the social circle: In 1802,
he became acquainted in Philadelphia, with a
Ikdy of extraordinary personal beauty, named
Yuliine Carriere. She was beni in the old
French colony of Biloxi, and her parents were
emigrants from the land of poetry and romance
—fi’roren-e—the favorite home of tlic Trouba
dours. When Clark first met her, she had
been living in wedlock with a sv.-indler named
Jerome DeGrungc,who, having d.rzzicd her with
a glittering coronet, married her, and then dis
closed the astounding facts that he was a coun
terfeiter and a bigamist. Zulime appealed for
protection to Clark, who, being warm heart
ed and chivalrous, at once espoused her cause,
and-after Becoming convinced tlrxt PeGrange
had another.wife living, espoused herself. The
marriage was kept secret, and in 1806, Myra,
now Mrs. Gaines, was born. Being natu
rally desirous Of having her connection with
Clark a publicly acknowledged one,Zulimc- went
to Now Orleans to obtain legal proofs of her
first husband's rascality. W bile she was gone
Clark, who had grown into an inffileniial poli

daughter of Charles 'Carroll, with whom he con
tracted an engagement, though'when reports

THE CONFEDERATE STATES’ LOAN,
The-attention of our citizens is called to the
advertisement of the loan of $16,000,000 au
thorized by a recent act of the Confederate
Congress. Our people will now have an ex

falsity of the gratuitous falsehoods which have
emanated from the columns of the Northern :
pipes relative to the inability of the Southern
people to provide the sinews of Government—
But aside from these considerations, the invest

take in a hurry. We understand that all the
