WEIJN’KSOAY MORNING, JUNE 10, 1601
JOHN THE BAPTIST.
Monday next, the 24th instant, is the anni
versary of John tbo Baptist, a patron saint of
the ancient and honorable Maaonic Fraternity.
Ji is celebrated by tho members of tho “ mys
tic tie” with becoming spirit. The Lodges in
stTtTal of our sister cities are making prepara
tions for its commemoration. What are the
Lodges in in this city doing f
THE “PET LAMBS.”
It is said that seventy of tho Ellsworth Zou
arcs have been killed while on picket duty, at
Alexandria, by tho Virginians, who are justly
indignant at.the gross outrages they dro daily
perpetrating.
POST OFFICE AT PENSACOLA.
The Postmaster General of the Confederate
States bee re-established the pcstoiBce st Pm
sacola, end provided for tho mail route to th t
place. Those desirous of sending letters cr
packages to their (Vienna near that city, will ad
drees them directly to that point, and not via
Montgomery, aa heretofore. Tbia will save one
day's delay, and the additional postage.
FIRE.
Between twelve and one o’clock, lest night,
our chiaeas were aroused by the alarm of fire
T ie fire was first discovered l>y n Mr. Philips’
in his small grocery establishment, in the rear
of and adjoining the Mission (Methodist Epis
copal) Church, on Arch street Tho flames
soon communicated to tho Church, and not
withstanding our fire companies repaired to the
spot with their naual promptness, it was soon
destroyed. The Church was a handsome
brick one, and cost between $4,000 and $5,000.
There was, we loarn no insurance upon it, and
it is therefore a total loss. Mr. Phillips lost a
quantity of groceries, oats corn, etc., but the
damage sustained by him is inconsiderable.—
The fire is doubtless the work ol an incendia
ry, as Mr. Philips says that there was no firo
used about the store, and that be saw two men
skulking about tho premises. He also found
two or three planks removed from the fence, by
which it is supposed they effected an entrance.
Our citixens cannot be two cautious in watch
ing their premises, or our police too vigilant in
looking out for suspicious men who prowl about
the streets when every body else is rapt in pro
found slumber.
“PASSING THROUGH.’
The Muscogee Rifles, Capt. T. B. Scott, nnd
detachments of the Beauregard Volunteers and
Quitman Guards, left last night on the Central
Railroad for Virginia via Augusta.

THE PORTFOLIO.
This i8 tho title of a new and elegantly
printed literary monthly, recently established
at Charleston, by Messrs. Samuel L. Hammond
and Frederick W. Miller. It is in the quarto
form, and furnished to -subscribers atone dol
lar per annum. Its contents are entirely origi
nal and it numbers a host of brilliant corres
pondents. Its typography cannot be surpassed
for beauty and excellence. Mr. Hammond is
in Macon, soliciting subscribers, and we trust
his task may he easy and profitable. The cx-
cission of all Northern prints of this character
should create a demand for the Portfolio.
FROM NEW YORK.
We an indebted to the attention of a friend
for the New York Daily Times of the 11th.
The Times is of opinion that the work of
purifying Virginia of the rebel forces will be
completed in another month, and in due time
Tennessee will bo occupied, and New Orleans
captured. It is delighted with Scott’s policy
of avoiding a direct encounter, while by a rep
etition of successful demonstrations, tho rebels
are compelled to fall back again and again, or
be surrounded and cut off In. a discourse
upon the “ temper or the Northern masses,”
the Times says the war will be waged until
the stars and stripes shall float triumphantly,
though it involve a thousand battles and long
years of privation and suffering. They re
gard the people of the revolted States as still
brethren, though they must bo fought against
and their revolt quelled. The stripes the North
are inflicting arc the chastisements of love.—
(The Times has grown amiable and affection
ate since we last saw it.)
In another article the Times pours out vials
of wrath upon the South for her treatment of
refugees, whom it represents as having been
outraged with a degree of atrocity unparallel
ed in the history of civilized nations. [It is
presumed that every man who runs North car
ries a new and more horrid tale of atrocity as
a stock in trade.]
The Timet says there are 600 runaways now
at Fortress Monroe, snd every officer has a
negro servant Twenty-Iour recently arrived
from a single plantation. That paper is grad
ually "loaning the truth" about the Acquia
Greek engagement, and declares that the loss
of the rebels in killed and wounded Was very
largo. Fifty were killed in the first day’s
operations.
Among tho despatches in the Times, is one
announcing that Banks would take command
ol Baltimore next day. He would cordially
co-operetc with the cit)’ authorities in the pre
servation of order, and a largo number of Co
lumbia da and 43 pounders were being brought
to bear upon the city from Fort McHenry, to
inspire confidence among the people. The
despatch says that Gov. Banks endorses the
recommendation for an appropriation of sere*
hundred and fifty million* for the prosecu
tion of the war!
In the Stock muvket things were dull and
stale. The only demand noted was for Bonier
State Stocks at the reduced rates. Consider
able business was done in Tennessee*, at 07j—
Missouri*, at 87J to#8; and Virginias, at 12 to
43J. United States sixes were quoted at 6*1
to 8*|. . . y |
DEATH AMONG THE CANINES.
Skirmishes take place cTcry day between our
police and tbo Canine race, in which the latter
are completely routed with heavy loss.. Their
picket guards are picked off quite handsomely,
and their sentinels sant yelling oil' wounded to
die. Like tho Northern hordes of Lincoln (wc
btg ; .irdon of the dog>) they ar* : '.variably
whipped, and sustain all the foes. -e_
Apalachicola, ria., Blockaded*
The Steamer Jackson arrived la Columbus, on
Monday, from Apalachicola, Fla., bringing intel
ligence that the U. 8. Steam.-hip Montgomery, bad
arrived off that city, and bad informed the author
ities that tbo port was under blockade. Too U.

THE CONSTITUTION OF GEORGIA.
A writer in the Columbus San offers some view
in regard to the Constitution of this State, as re*
vised by the State Convention, whfch merits bnt
little attention from the people. The question of
“ratification’’ or “rejection’’ should be calmly, ma
turcly snd wisely considered upon before the first
Tuesday in July,*wben tbo vote upon it will be
taken. When the Constitution is adopted, it can
not be amended, or added to, abort of a Conven
tion of the people for that purpose. It behoovrs
every one then to study well its provisions—its
errors and its defects. The writer urg* several
objection to that instrument, and makes four pro
positions : First. That Article 3, Section 1, should
provide, that (Jie Governor be prohibited from
bolding the Executive office for more than two
sucoesrive terms. Second. That the election of
Judges of the Superior Courts, and Solicitor Gene
rals, should never have been wrested from the
people, and should remain with them. He thinks
it would bo better for the Judges of the Supreme
Court to be elected by the voters of the State. |
Third. That the jurisdiction of the Court of Or
dinary and the Inlcrior Court should be merged
into one Court, presided over by one Judge for
each County. The Court to be styled the “Pro
bate Court” or "County Court,” and the Judge to
receive a competent'salary fixed by law—agree
ably to the population and wealth of tho County.
Fourth. The Governor and the Legislature should
both be relieved of all pardoning power. This
plainly shows the character of the objections to the
Conltitutions, and those who wish to tinker with it
continually.
voire them at once in an inextricable maze of
controversy, which would be fatal to their char
acter as vehicles of public intelligence.
Perkv. The Jones County Volunteers have
gone to Richmond, and will be mustered into
service there, as part of Col. Conner’s Regi
ment
FROM PENSACOLA.
A letter dated the ICth, says: Two of our
companies (Jackson’s Regiment) are under or
ders to bo ready to march at a moment's notice
on Monday.
A NEW GEORGIA REGIMENT.
The following companies assembled in Rome
on the 12th instant:
Atlanta Volunteers, Capt Waddail,
Beauregard Rifles, Capt Wood.
Catoosa Volunteers, Capt. Me ’onnell.
Campbell Guards, Capt. Glo-er.
Cedar Town Guards, Capt Borders.
Floyd Sharp Shooters, Capt Hamilton.

They organised by the election of the fol

James J. Morrison, of Floyd, Colonel.

NORTHERN CUPIDITY.
The mercenary habits of Northern Manufac
turers, are well illustrated by a recent occurrence
in Newaik, N. J. A wealthy clothing merchant
at that place, compelled a poor woman with a fam
ily of eight children, to make heavy military
pants by hand, for itctnfy cent* m pair. She suc
ceeded in making four pair a week, and received
therefor eighty cents—or nearly nine cent* a day
for the support os' herself and family.
THE NORTHERN PROGRAMME.
The newspapers of the North have—in their
own estimation—nearly completed the subju
gation of tbc South. They are now devising
plans to punish the “rebels” for their contu
macy. The New York Courier and Enquirer
hits upon the following method of disposing of
the troublesome question:
The ringleaders of the rebellion must be tried
for high treason, convicted and punished with
death, if not commuted to other penalties.
All thou who voluntarily hare borne arm*
against the United State* a \ould le smt to pe
nal colonic* in the far off West and Northteert,
or bo held to labor in building the PaciSc Rail-
~o«d. and should be deprived, foraccrtaia time,
o“nt ugiiriu iiiffiTnw ••• —, | i le
grants of 1 mds which our volunteers after the
war can justly claim, should be taken up with
in the limits of the Southern Confederacy.—
The large cities of the South should be garri
toned by negro regiment*, to be famished and
paid by the South herself, and the laws of the
United Stales for the protection of free speech,
a free press, and the right of assembling should
be enforced everywhere. Secessionist prisoners
of war, even note, should rut, a* ha* been done
in St. Louis, be discharged on their parole of
honor, which, of course, they will not keep, but
hired out for a small consideration to Western
farmers, so as to make up for the farm hands
engaged in the war, and to eoter part of the
running expenses, Ac.”
Somebody should preservo all these choice
extracts from Northern prints, in order tnat
they be compiled into a book and handed down
to future generations. In six months not one
of these New York editors will be conscious o
ever having written a paragraph of this char
acter.
A PEACE PREDICTION.
The Constitutionalist doses a long article up
on the war witli the following prediction, which
wo hope may be verified:
“To drop metaphor, we close with the predic
tion that tiro war will be a war of a single
campaign. The North will bo discomfitied,
whipper back from tho Virginia frontier, driv
en out of Washington, expelled from Baltimore,
ousted from Maryland, Kentucky, and Missou
ri—every vestigo of Lincoln’s power in those
States will be blotted out, before the South will
pause to take rest. It will be then for the so
ber second thought of the North, to determine
whether it will renew the fruitless struggle, or
“frankly and heartily” acknowledge our inde
pendence.
CHICKASAW SECESSION.
C. Harris, Governor of the Chickasaw na
tion, in pursuance of au act of the Legislature
of the 23th, proclaims the independence of the
nation of the Federal Government, and calls
upon all the warriors over eighteen and under
forty-five years of age to organize at once into
companies, battalions and regiments for the
war, to l>o ready for service at a minute’s warn
ing. All over forty-five arc advised to organ-
zc in a Home Guard.

CONSTITUTIONAL ELECTION.
T> the Pr*rle of Georgia.
In the rapt attention given to the war we are
in danger of overlooking home duties of im
mense importance. Two weeks from today,
to-wit: on Tuesday, the 2d day of July text,
you are called upon by law to record jour
votes on the new Constitution of Georgia,
adopted on the 23d day of March last by jour
State Convention at Savannah. There is dan
ger that this admirable instrument may be
defeated by inattention and neglect You nay
he sure that every man opposed to it will bt at
the polls to vote against it, but it is muck to
be feared that thousands who approve it will
overlook the election, and the Constitution thus
be defeated by mere neglect to vote. Willyou
not take tbo alarm at once, and bo careful not
only to vote yourself but remind, your neigh
bor to vote? If you do not, not 1 only will a
sound and excellent Constitution be voted
down, but what is worse, the State of Georgia
will occupy the wretched dilemma of working
under a Constitution framed for tier as a State
of the old Federal Union, while she is one o
the Confederate States.
The objections urged against the new Con
stitution arc of the most trivial character, but
still fatal to that instrument in the minds of
those who urge them. There is probably not
a man in Georgia who docs not fancy he could
improve the Constitution, in some particular.
Men d.ffcE In opinion, and it is impossible to
shape an instrument which shall meet cither
the opinions of all, or all the opinions of any
body. But nevertheless, there are many people
who forget so self-evident a fact as this, and
a’.low a single objt ction to condemn the Consti
tution. This one urges against it, that it has
abolished an elective judiciary, while another
thinks-lhat to be its crowning merit Some wilt
vote and electioneer against it, because it has
reduced the Slate Senate, while others are dis
satisfied because it did not reduce the House
also. Some don’t like the Districts—Senato
rial and Congressional—while wc do not be
iicve it is in the power of man to district the
State sc-as to meet the sanction of a.maioriti-
of the people on that raked is-ue. Some de
nounce it because it bos cut off amendments
by the General Assembly, while others hail
that provision as a bright occidental herald of a
stability and permanency, in which one may
know what the laws arc, and the Legislature
may be kept within proper bounds. Iu the
name of common sense willyou empower your
legislative agents to alter your instructions-^-
to mar and deface the very instrumeut they, at e
sworn to support? Will you lay down no
fixed, stable principles of legislation, beyond
the reach of tncie legislative effervescence, and
subject alone to your control? Do not you
yourselves choose to be the sole judges of
what powers you will confide to the discretion
of your agents ? If so, then is that provision
which saves the Constitution from legislative
tinkering, and vests its amendment alone in tho
people themselves, a wise and salutary change.
A score of such objections as these arc urged
against the instrument, and no press in Georgia
has yet taken up its detcnce against them. Let
i...-1-odv be mishil bv *>•••■ --*iCcj lie
Con'lftunon is a good one. n was !- wed Dy
good and intelligent men, at a Buret opportune
time, when no party divisions existed among
our people to bias their judgments and warp
their action. We need never expect to get a
better one, and let the people rally to tho polls
and sec that it is triumphantly endorsed.
SIGNS OF SENILITY.
General Scott is getting old. The wires
have been burdened with his boasts for several
days, but we have been disposed to attribute
them to the fertile imaginations of the Black
Republican editors, anxious to temper the im
patience of their readers over the slow pro
gress of a campaign which- was to have been
finished up triumphantly in six weeks. The
Chicago Tribune’s article below, hovrevershows
that the brags are genuine and authentic.—
Scott is under solemn stipulation with the
Lincoln Cabinet to be iu Richmond one month
from to-day, and to finish.the South and hang
her President by the 22d February next. It is
very clear that old Fuss and Feathers is badly
mistaken or we in the South are. We think,
so far from being in Richmond in a month, he
will be a badly whipped General. before that
time. A few days will throw great light on
the subject:
The Chicago “Tribune,” says :
We are able to announce oa unquestionable
authority, that Gen. Scott has so far matured
-the plana for the war as to inform the President
and the Cabinet that the last secession flag
shall be torn down, the authority of the Amer
ican soil, and Jeff. Davis hung or driven out of
the country, within, eleven months from the
day when Fort Sumter was surrendere I.—
About the 4th of March next, he will hand over,
the Union, safe and. sound, to its constituted
and constitutional authorities. Old Lundy’s
Lane takes his time to map out the campaign
and put his forces in the best fighting trim, and
then always wins at tho precise day when he
agrees to. He has taken the contract to wind
up the disunion, disturbances within eleven
months from the 15th of April, and ho vtil do
tioin a v \incxi\G, JUNE 31, 1861.

of London, several years since, decided that
those who live on molassisns a part of,their
regular, diet never have the Typhoid Fever.—
The Mississippi planter’s experience corrobor
ates this- decision, for his.negroes have not had
a single case of Typhoid Fever among them,.
although frequently in the. neighborhood, and
once in his own family. Let the planters of
Georgia try this experiment. It will save mere

AN API RETORT,
A lady recently asked President Davis what
the Confederate forces , would do if the Ncrth-
ernors were to force them back from Manassas?
President Davis quickly responded, “There
will be few left, madam, to be forced back.”
We understand that it is a part of General
Scott’s plan, to occupy Virginia and Tennessee
completely on. or before the 20th of July. Six
ty-five thousand Northwestern troops wfil move
down the Mississippi as far as Memphis, under
the command of Gens. Fremont and MeCfoUaD,
and remain in camp until tho sickly season is
past when, they will move on towards the Balize,

DEATH OF HON. LOTT WARREN.
We regret to .learn that Hon. Lott Warren,
while making a.speech at Albany, on Monday-
last, fell dead in the Court House. This is a
sudden and unexpected event to his many
friends throughout the Suite. It is supposed
to be the result of a disease of the heart. A
great man haa. truly fallen “with the harness
on.” He was universally esteemed for his many
noble nnd excellent traits of character. He
adorned the bar, and filled various stations ol
pnblic trust, with ability and honor.

PRIVATES.
VERY LONG TAW.
Our Macon boys at Sewell’s Point aro just
now vexatiously situated. Tho big Union gun
which was dropped into water nnd deck mud at
Baltimore, has at last been got up and mount
ed at the Rip Raps, from whence she discharges
her big missiles at Sewell’s Point, three and a
h8lf miles distant, and some of them go a mile
beyond it. At last accounts the gun was tbun
cering away without inflicting much damage,
but tho boys were vexed to bo shot at without
a chanec to return the compliment.
WHERE IS VIENNA?
Vienna (where the unfortunate 900 Ohioans,
according to their own statements, encounter
ed 1,500 of the bloody-minded sons of Pal-
mettodom,) is a station on the Loudon & Hamp
shire Railroad, from Alexandria to Leesburg,
and about twenty miles northwest of tho former
place. It is only a short distance north of
Manassas Junction.

A SAD SCENE.
Yesterday morning we observed' ■& young
man of twenty-two or three years, of age, in
charge of a gentleman, en amili f - -*i— *

boisterous, and belligerent, it ts truly s sad
eased.” Insanity is now becoming quite a pre
valent disease, and its victims.are yearly on the
increase. Let every one keep cool during these
exciting times. Don’t keep your mind in so
great a tension, by directing it all tb* time up
on one object. Avoid all exposure io excessive
heat Be patient, and wait. the workings of
an inscrutablo Providence, “who works in &
mysterious way, His wonders to perform,” and
who will in His own gcod time, work out tho
political salvation and independence of the Cost
federate States. Keep cool, and trust results Ut
Him, who “doeth all things well.”
Air. Editor:—Permit me, through your eol

at Arch street, to express to the citizens of Ma

THE VIENNA SKIRMISH.
The official report of Seller.ck published : yt3-
tarday, stated that nine hundred Ohioana . en
countered a battery manned by fourteen hun
dred South Carolinians, and with such dispar
ity of forco, it was of courso to have b*n ex
pected, that the Ohio troop3 should scamps*,
leaving their dead and wounded bahipd thxao.
Now, the private despatch to tho Savanna'n Re
publican, which we copy in another place, s».\a
nothing about a battery. The Cavolinians
amounted to 400 men of Gregg’s regiment, who

ketry, when the Ohio men ran off, Leaving their
dead behind them. SVe have no doubt that
was tha true state of the ease.
THE GREAT BETHEL FIGHT.
Immense Palaifl^ation*
The Baltimore Su;i\ account of the Bethel
Fight makes it apparent, that there is a delibe
rate falsehood in the Northern reports of that
battle. They state that fourteen were killed
and sixty wounded, a,nti that their forco num
bered tno thousand five hundred men. The
Sun says, about Sv-e thousand men left the
Fort, and then adds ns follows about chat be

to'*ake numerous epecimens of tho “better cur-

joof no silver change. Fcr some days after he

change,” and no fears wore entertained of its
securing again soon.
Soma agents of British cr.d French Houses
had been out to Savannah to- sell goods and
tnkcarders, but the sight of tho currency had
alarmed them, and they began to fear that a
people with a circulating medium which would
noi buy r» chew of tobacco five miles out of
town, could never pay debts across the wa
ter. Sojoe conjectures had been entered into
as to tb/.- probable value of silver,supposing there
was *ny to be hod. Cnc man had been offered
twn.nty-flve cents in “currency” for a dime, to
k’eep tho devil cut of his pocket, but tha offer
was sternly rejected. Another said that ’spos-
;n there was any silver tlar, which he knew
there warn’t, he reckoned it nouk? be worth
about two.dollars .for one. The only specula
tion afoot were operations which must neces
sarily require titnn to perl act. Several of the
curious wore collecting samplcn.of the differ
ent shicplasters, and posting thfma up as valu-
ble and curious relics to future generations, to
show what tiaeir fathers toe’:,. In short, our
informant ftxiad Savannah in a very peculiar
oondition. To cure the scarcity of money she
has agreed to dispense vi;h it altogether in.

of the Federal troops was fearful. The Con
