In Irishman the other day quaintly de

couraged. This discouragement commenced
with the success of the Democratic party in
the North. So long as Lincoln waged the war
for ends tbe most diabolical, and by means the
most inhuman, there was no longer danger of
subjugation. We were united, and resolved
to spend tbe last dollar and to shed the last
drop of blood in the defence of our rights.
But the party referred to will, as soon as
they acquire the contial of affairs, offer to us
peace, upon the reconstruction of the Union, on
such terms as we may dictate—and to my in
expressible disappointment a majority of the
people of the Confederate States will accede to
the proiiokition.
I nave but one hope that this may not be the
result, and that is derived from the conviction
of mind, that hitherto God has m-ist signally
helped us, and ordered events as if his purpose
was to bring us out from among the mercenary
and infidel and seitisfi people of the North, and
to fix a social and commercial and political gull
betwixt us. How providential was it that a
Southern convention was not called. If it had
been we should never have seceded. How
providentia 1 was it that Lincoln determined
upon coercion. If it bad not been attempted,
\ irginia. North Carolina .nil Tennessee would
never have joined us.
How providential has it appeared to be,
ti:at this war has been waged to the disregard
el all the rights of humanity Had it not been
so, our troops would never have displayed
such dtterin'iied resistance—such admirable
endurance of tbe hardships to which they
have been exposed. Had it not been so, such
union of sentiment, such concertedness of ac-
d the struggle would never have
r the people. And then, how pro
success, when we consider that
allh, and all the resource.* of war
umanly spe iking, against us. As
’ considered to be, the clear
the prevailing sentiment among military circles
incline to a full confidence in ou: ability to
thrash ft usee rans, but also in the resolution of
cur general council of war to lorce him into
the field. The operaiions of Morgan; the in
vestment of Nashville; the instability of Nor
thern coniinunicalon; and the low state of the
Cumberland induce the beli f that Kosecrans
will have to come out.
The Nashville Dispatch of the 6th, speaking of
the Cumberland, says: “The river is rising slow
ly and steadily. There is now about eight inches
of water over tbe shoals—or rather there was yes
terday ; now there may be nine, or ten, perhaps,
eleven. By Monday or Tuesday there will proba
bly be sufficient water for very light-draft boats,
and uulese there be some obstruction on the river
or in the river, some such boat may be expected
belore the end of next week.”
There is a rather gloomy prospect, and the
weather does not seem to increase the promise.
The Dispatch of the same date speaks also
of the opening of the railroads, which are, how
ever, subject to be interrupted stall times.—
The lollowing is quoted as the schedule for the
benefit of John Morgan :
“l he Louisville and Nashville Railroad pas
senger train for Louisville. Bowling Green and
Memphis Branch, leaves Nashville daily at 8
o’clock, A. M., Louisville time, which is fifteen
minutes faster than Nashville time. The Tick
et Agent is required to sell no tickets to any
station on the road, except upon the presenta
tion of a pass to such a poin , approved by
Maj. Gen. Kosecrans ”
There are many rumors afloat of decisive
operations by Gens. Forrest and Wheeler, but
we have nothing of a confirmatory or reliable
character; the daily skirmishes very naturally
give rise to all sorts of stories. The late happy
conceit of Gen. Morgan, near Hartsville, is the
l»sl feat of note, and is still a general topic of
gossip and admiration. It has wakened up the

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Milliocevilli, Saturday, Dec. IS, I
0} o’clock, P. M. j
The aeeaion of the Legislature having drawn to
a close, the mind naturally Reverts to the work ac
complished, and the results likely to accrue to the
State. The principal measures enacted are those
for clothing the soldiers—supplying the wants of
their families—providing for the obstruction of
riven— the removal of non-combatants—and last,
but by nojmeans least in importance or wisdom the
bill restricting the planting of eoitou to three acres
to tbe hand.
Another measure—the manufacture of cotton
cards—though an innovation on what hss been
deemed a safe or proper policy for the State, is one
calculated to be of incalculable benefit, and which
the people will universally approve. The works ot
Messrs. Lee A Co., Cartsville, are beiDg removed
to the State Pententiary, and will be in operation
next week; and will, in a few weeks be able to sup
ply cards at a little advance on cost. They are, I
believe, the only works in successful operation in
the Confederate States.
It is a mistake that a party in Columbus have
run a machine through the blockade, as stated by
the Atlanta Conlederacy. I am assured by a party
just from Columbus, that the machine in that city
is not a Whiltemore machine, and is not in opera-
lien.
I regret to state that tbe Heuse refused to con
cur in tbe Senate clause of the Appropriation Bill,
to allow $5u,(IOO for the erection ol dormitories for
the Georgia Military Institute. That institution is
now in a nourishing condition, having 175 stu
dents ; but they are crowded together in miserable,
rotten, wooden cabins, five or six iu a room. The
State may well be liberal toward an institution that
has given her more than one hundred commission
ed officers, whose name will adorn the annals of al
most every battle since the war began. It is false
economy to drive away those who seek to enjoy
tbe advantages of an institution for whose success
or failure the State is responsible. Now is the
time to make its success signal, and to give it a
character which will germanently commend it to
the favor of the public. But there is no accounting
for the economical caprices of the Legislature.—
They are almost as uncertain as the verdict of a
petit jury.
Since concluding my letter, ending with the af
ternoon session to-day, nothing has transpired of
public interest. Both houses were nominally in
session, for the purpose of signing up a few bills,
which the clerk could not get enrolled in time for
the afternoon session. As is usual during tbe
closing hours of every session—the presiding offi
cers being busy signing bills—members indulged
iu the innocent pastime of speeches—not on the
Conscript Law—but on temperance and other
themes, novel and refreshing to legislative spirits.
Such episodes in the monotonous routine of le
gislation are indulged, we suppose, on the princi
ple that—
“A little nonsense now and then,
Is relished by the wisest men.”
The sag's of the General Assembly might consider
it “out of order” in your correspondent to report
their extra legislative sayings and doings ; I, there
fore, forbear, and cocclude these crude and hasty
letters with' a tender of cordial thanks for the civ
ilities extended me by tbe members, as well as the
clerks, in both branches. Trusting that each may
reach their homes in safety, and that we all may
meet in a few months under auspices more conge
nial to a spirit of congratulation, 1 am your and
tteir obedient servant. Akihidks.
Having published the oath taken by Mr. Sum
mers of Kanawha, to support the government ol

of the Confederate States of America, and declare
that I will bear true allegiance to the said States,
and that I will be true and faithful to them iu the

Statea of America.
I also abjure and renounce all allegiance to any
foreign prince, power or potentate, and specially
to the United Slates of America. 1 also abjure and
renounce all allegiance to the pretended govern-

hut, on the contrary, is quite impure. In lime
of peace it is not used for curing meat in Eng
land or anywhere else, except America, Cana-
da and Australia
4. In tbe absence of chemical analysis, the
next best test for the purity ot salt is its
weight per bushel. ' Solar made salt weighs 70
to 75 pounds; the coarse ijraineil Charleston
made salt, 56 to 60; Liverpool, 52 to 56, and
the jine grained Charleston salt varies from
40 to 54 pounds per bushel.
5. According to the above test, one bushel
of solar made salt is worth five pecks of the
coarse grained Charleston salt, whilst the lat
ter is actually worth seven to eight.per cent
more than the Liverpool. This fact, which
appears by the weight test, has been also
verified by actual trial—the Charleston coarse
grained salt having cured beef and tongues
during the hottest portion of last summer,
whilst some of tbe same meat, salted with
Liverpool salt, was not well cured, but proved
to be slightly tainted.
6. Some of the fine grained Charleston salt
will cure meat. In choosing it, bike that
which is hard and gritty, and will weigh over
fifty pounds to the bushel. Salt lighter than
this, unless it be well washed, should be used
only for cooking purposes. It must be judged
also by the sight and touch—it being a fine
powder, or small flaky needles, and feeling
spongy when squeezed in the hand—Charles
ton Meicury.
— A movement is on foot in New York to
send two or three ship loads of provision to
England for the relief of the starving operative*
in Lancashire.
— Four thousand iqen are still lacking from

sued imperative orders for a draft,,to commence
THE YANKEE AND THE NEGRO.
As we have always predicted, the Yankees
are becoming heartilv sick of the trouble and
burden of lhe thousands of negroes who have
escaped into their lines. A Connecticut paper
—a “Down East” paper, even—acknowledges
this in the following very frank manner:
The universal testimony is that they arc
worthless to us. A few of them can be put to
work, but many are old and more are children,
and a great proportion are women, who, from
a state of comparative innocence are corrupted
and depraved by communion with tbe soldiers,
and soon die, or what is worse, live to spread
disease and corruption They have done little,
taken as a whole, to what has been done for
them. Thov show no disposition to render
the-nstlves uselul—they have not the capacity
or lhe will to do so; and most of them look
forward to a return to their master’s planta
tions. With these ignorant and simple people
there is great attachment to the places where
they were reared — great love for those whom
they have served, and much more comfort there
than they can enjoy elsewhere. While the
contrabands can do nothing for the Govern
ment, they are a big bill of expense. They
have occupied the houses, while tbe soldiers
have been without shelter, and in some in
stances have had new houses liuill for them,
while white men, defending the country, were
left out doors without tents or blanketa They
have drawn their rations at the expense ol the
Government, and are maintained as paupers,
while the Government never has aided whites,
and refused to distribute wood for w hich they
had no use at Washington, among tbe poor of
the District of Columbia.
— The situation of affairs in East Tennessee
is not very flattering, so far as relates to the
raising of troops by conscription. As yet no
more than 1,700 men have been raised under
the act. It is said this is ow ; ng to the vacil
lating policy which has been pursued there to
wards tbe Brownlow Abolition party of this
section of the State.
What They do with ths Nzgkos*.—The
Charleston Courier says:
We have received intormation, from a letter
written by a trustworthy gentleman of Cuba,
that seven cargos of negroes have lately been
offered for sale in Cuba by the Yaukvea.
nt is not needed.
Church asd State.—The New York correspon-
'lent of tbe Philadelphia Ledger gives publicity to
the following curious paragraph :
Tbe editor of the Church Journal to-day reiter
ates that a strong political and official pressure was
brought to bear upon the Episcopal General Con
vention, recently hi session here, to make it take
the high ground it did against the rebellion. Both
Mr. Seward and Mr. Chase, we are told wrote let
ters to the Bishops, not once or twice only, but
uearly every day during tbt- session, and that “these
letters or parts of them were read informally to
knots of Bishops, or shown privately.” Another
curious fact, vouched lor by the same authority is
this : “That of the very Urge number of copies of
ihe Factorial Address, printed at the expense of
the General Convention, no leas than one-fiftieth
part of the whole issue was sentto Mr. Seward and
Mr. Chase.”
THE FIRST IRON CLAD OCT.
The iron-clad steamer Passaic sailed from New
York on the 28th ult., on a trial trip to Fortress
Monroe. The New York Herald, speaking ot the
i rip, aays:
The bouyaney of the vessel was very marked,
and during tbe heaviest sea experienced on tbe
voyage, at no time did the water reach an elevation
of more than two feet above the deck of the vessel.
Tim vessel experienced a few hours’ rough weather,
and during the time behaved exceedingly well. It
was regretted by those on board that it could not
have blown quite a gale, so as to have given her a
good trial amid the buffeting waves.
The ventillation was also found to be up to the
constructor’s mark, and no unpleasantness was felt
from that cause. The vessel steered well, minding
her helm with celerity and certainty ; but a larger
wheel will be put in the pilot house. The compass
worked admirably, the attraction, or rather devia
tion, being only about one quarter of a point. She
steamed well, and in every respect fulfilled the high
est expectations. The next thing that is to follow iu
her history will be active offensive service, in which
there esn be no doubt but that she will prove her
self all that could be desired of her.
Slie may possibly act in conjunction with the
Aruiv of the Potomac, and should the Merrimac
No. 2 make her appearance on the James RUer, so
that Captain Drayton can bring the Passaic into
action, then lookout for rebel splinters.
THE BATTLE OF HARTSVILLE.
The Murfessboro’ Rebel Banner says :
The forces engaged in the affair on our side were
the Ninth and Second Kentucky infantry com
manded by Col. Th03. H. Hunt, numbering six
hundred and eighty men, and the cavalry regiments
of Chenault, Duke, Bennett and Huffman, with
Cobb’s Kentucky Battery. AU told, our force was
about thirteen hundred. The enemy was the
Thirty Ninth Brigade of Dumont’s division, com
posed of three iegiraeuts, one battalion, a squadron
of cavalry and section of artillery. It was com
manded by Col. Abraham B. Moore, of Peru,
Lasalle county, Illinois, whose commission, we aie
authorized to say, is now in possession of Corporal
Whelan, Co. K, ‘id Kentucky.
Tbe attack was made just after sunrise ; but
instead of surprising the Yankees, they were
found strongly posted on Lite top of a steep
hill, and in^wfcct line ol battle. Our line
was uirini-i^^Br the lire i t the enemy, but it
w.i- '. me i^^H'eat precision and perfect stead
ines-. Alt^Fhur boys had commenced the
forward movement there was no delay or hesi
taricy. The Abolitionists were driven from
their position, tnen through their camps, their
battery of fine Parrott guns captured, and fin
ally hemmed in on the liver hank, where they
surrendered. The fight lasted for one hour
and twenty minutes; but in th t brief period
the firing was rapid, and the contest severe.
Many gallant spirits foil on our side, but we
heaped the field wiih thrice the number of
Yankee slain.
Cobb’s battery sustained an important part
in the tight, and lost severely. Lieut. Gracey
was, as he was on all similar 'ccasions, con
spicuous for his gallantry and good conduct
It was the ninth engagement in which he has
participated, and out of all he has escaped un-
harmed, save at Shila David Watts, a private
of this battery, who was killed, was an intelli
gent and promising young man, the son of the
well known merchant of Paducha.
The town of Hartsville and some four hun
dred of the enemy were captured by Col. Ben
nett’s command.
To John Barer, of Company C, Ninth Ken
tucky tegiinent, belongs the honor of capturing
the battery Hag ot the enemy. It is a beau
tiful piece of silk bunting, with the letter B
upon it
The ninth regiment also has the flag of the
104th Illinois regiment.
The second regiment brought off tbe colors
ol the 106th Ohio regiment, which, before
reaching town were, by order cf Major James
W. Hewitt, reversed, the Union down—a signal
of distress.
But the most remarkable fact connected with
the expedition was the endurance of the in
fantry troops. They marched on a bitter night
over fifty miles, fought a splendid battle, cap
tured twice their number, crossed the Cumber
land River twice, and yet there was no com
plaints heard, and no straggling witnessed.
The prisoners, twenty-one hundred in num
ber, were brought to Murfreesboro’ Sunday
before last.

Thanksgiving day (Nov. 27th,) was diligently
employed by the New York Clergy, after the
manner of the Publican, in thanking God that
the people of that region, were not as other
men. and especially not such as tbe Confeder
ates. We join in the thansgiving. Ward Beech

famished tiger, in his demands for fiercer war
Continued war, on Abolition principles wa- .

McClellan in his congregation said ;
“If his humble voice could reach noth the
government and the people, he would say to
the former that the object of this war was not
the abolition of slavery, hut the restoration of
rightful magistracy. On this ground alone
should the contest he prosecuted, and all olh
er issues should he kept in the hack-ground.”
Dr. Bellows, called tor sixteen years of w ar,
if necessary, lather than be defeated in their
purpose. He praised the Confederate soldiers
and said:
“Whether they have small feet and hands
or not, they are not afraid to die—familiar with
arms and bound together by ties of interest,
peril, and ambition. This enemy is an Ameri
can, participating in the energy, self confi
dence, versatility, and determination of the
American people at large.”

oak timber, and pierced them at every shot
with a four and a haif inch Parrott rifled gun,
