At n mooting af the Bar hold to* pay a trib-

Honor O. A. juochrane presiding, tlie following
Committee was appointed to report suitable
resolutions, vis;—L. N. Whittle, J. J. Gresh»
am, Wm. T. Massey, Jas. T. Nisbet, and Joel
Itranham. The Committee appointed at a
previous meeting, through their Chairman,Mr.
Whittle, made the following report, to wit:
REPORT.
Store the last regular Term oi this Court,
five of the members ot this Bar, known and
endeared to all of us by constant contact and
association, have died, upon the battle-field, or
of ciiscnses contracted in the set vice of their
counti \, in the unequal and unjust war,
which'h«S been forced upon 'the Confederacy
av the Government of the United States.
Th*o»okic W. M oxTroar, the energetic and
efficient Solicitor General of this Circuit for
more than five year* past, after, participating
in the glory and the perils of its gallant tie-
tense as an officer of a volunteer corps from
the county or Macon, was taken prisoner at
Fort Pulaski, ami after long months «f close
confinement, was release,1 on P*«de and
reached his homo only i« die among his kind
red and friends. ,

1U Robbrt A. Suits commanded one, of the first
companies, which reached Vjyginia, after the
secession of that State. Subsequently he was
r’eCtcd Colonel of the 44lh Ga. When ttie
battles before Richmond begun, he was so en-
• ebied by disease that ho could scarcely
mount his horse. Urged on, however, by tbe
t ,pvid ntions widen euuipel noble spirits to
daro every danger in the discharge pi duty,
t-r.n when the duty might l>e honorably ue-
elinedjhe led his regiment when it was ordered
non action, lV.ll at bead,and died alter being
removed to Kicomond of exhaustion from
sickness and wounds.
PUlLKUO* lltACV, as thousaui.s ot young
aictt ef the Sooth,'who like him were fitted
for higher positions, entered -he service of the
Confederacy immeiiately atnr the cummtwce-
hostilities as ;• private in the ranks of
„ volunteer company. Alter a few weeks ser-
of eminent fitness, by eharac-
and solid judgment, his knowledge of men was
striking, and he seldom failed to touch the
massive chord which thrillcil tbe Jury. He
was candid and fair minded, and while he pro
tected tho rights of the State he never violated
the rights of the citizen. Popular before the
leoplc and able in his profession, he left a
iterative practice to enter the service of his
country. Taken prisoner, as you state, at
Fort Pulaski, he lingered through a long con
finement—sick and scarcely able to reach home
to die, his inhuman escort Who brought him
on the boat to bo exchanged, not only took
away the little tokens of remembrance he was
bringing homo to his wile and children, but
absolutely refused to give or sell to him the
medicine he needed to give him strength to
reach and clasp his loved oqes. It makes men
doubt tho Scriptural quotation—“God—he hath
made us and not wo ourselves,” when we see
such inhuman atrocity rendered still more
barbarous by the contemplation that tho roan
who appealed to them was’dying and bis only
hbpe, yea, his only thought, to live long enough
to see his family. Incarnate fiends, if there
be retribution, they, will survivo long enough
to bequeath meauness and misery to their chil
dren.
Mr. Dunson too sleeps l)is last sleep, quietly
and gently aund the tombs of his ancestors.
Meeting death face to face with the immor
tal Eighth, and wounded on the first field of
Manassas, he rcturned’lo his company and was
prostrated by disease. He finally came home
to die. He wss but a short time a member of
the Macon Bar, and came among us with no
recommendation but his couscious integrity,
aud relied on no auxiliary to pres3 him for
ward but his own honest and untiring labor.
He was a man of promise, energy and capacity
and would, bad he lived, been an esteemed
member of the profession.
Capt John M. Patton sleeps his last sleep
upon the field his valor bad helped to win and
hm blood to consecrate. In front of the cne •
my at the second battle of Manassas, Capt.
Patton stood with, but few around him, and
with a bravery tliat should be historic fought
till he fell. He too had been only a short time
a resident of this city before duty called him
to tfie camp, llis traits of character endeared
him to all w ho knew him. Frank, open, can
did, generous and as high a sense sf honor as
any man living. He had received a liberal
education and his mind was well stored with
material for future improvement. With win
ning manners, a good share of self-possession
and a fluency of language, chaste and fervid,
had he been spared to the profession he would
have ended a life ot usefulness aud honor.
Col. R. A. .Smith slumbers in the soft em -
brace of Roso Hill—among his friends he found
his last resting place. He was long identified

PRESIDEDT DAVIS’ MESSAGE IN THE NORTH.
President Davis’ Message had reached the
North ; and was published in full in the papers. The
New York Herald has a leading editorial on it, q
column long, in which it says:
The message of Jeff. Davis is evidently inspired by
a conscious security which has never hitherto char
acterized any manifesto which emulated from the
rebel Executive, and it breathes an air of determina
tion and defiance which is net justified by what
meets the public eye. Itis true that the Confederate
President is aware of the divisions und disgust at
the North produced by the Abolition policy, and
particularly the emancipation edict extorted from
Mr. Lincoln, which is worth two hundred thousand
men to the cause of the rebellion; for it enables
the rebel Government to prove their anticipatisas
of the designs of the radical party are fully realiz
ed, and to make outa plausible case of justification
before the people for the rebellion cf tke South.—
The administration and tbe radicalti seem to have
given him a chance to appeal to the sympathies of
the white men of tbe North and of the Caucasian
race throughout the woild.
Tho President of the rebellions States is confi
dent in his expectations and rampant ill his threats
of retaliation. He says he has directed the exe
cution of General Butler and “oue General McNeil
who murdered seven prisoners of war in cold
blood,” if they should fall into the hands of any of
the Confederate forces. There may be little, in
these threats, as the intended victims are not yet
in his power, and are not likely soon to bo. But
there may be something in these menaces* after
all—something more than the mere political and
finanical situation would warrant. It in more than
possible, notwithstanding tbe general terms in
which Mr. Davis complains of the European Powers
for not recognizing the independence of the South
ern Confederacy, and for shutting out from their
ports privateer* and their prizes,he has some under
standing with the Empower of tbe French, which
will be Drought to light in due time. In confirma
tion of this view it is worthy of remark that in
the rebel Congress, on Monday, a resolution was
introduced eulogizing France “for her endeavours
to induce European intervention.” Aud when we
cast a glance at the other side of the Atlautic, we
find tliat the relatiou of Mr. Slidell with Napoleon
and his ministers are far moie cordial than is con
sistent with strict neutrality, much less the warm
professions of friendship lor the United States
which lie has constantly made. The greeting of
the Emperor to Mr. Dayton on New Year’s day was,
to say the least, decidedly cold, if it wasnot a piece
of bitter irony uuder the circumnruces.
Tbe earnest determination of the South must be
met by a corresponding determination on bis part
and on the part of the people of the loyal States;
otherwise the Union is irretrievably .lost. The
same unity of purpose and of action must be de
veloped at ihe North as at the South. The rebels
are terribly in earnest, while everything that trans
pires at Washington shows that the administration
are, “like Naro, fiddling while Rome was burning.”
ANOTHER UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT OF
THE EMBMV OS OSNESIS POIST.
Yesterday nc rning, about.half past seven
o’clock, a heavy cannonading was heard in tho
direction of Generis Poirt; on tho Great Ogcc-
chcc, distant in a direct line some twelve or
fourteen miles from the city. Daring theearly
p rtof the morning the firing was heavy and
rapid, and the vrnd favoring, the reports of the
guns were d.stioctly hoard, and the vibration
of the atmosphere jarred the windows of the
houses in the city. It was understood that
sevtn of the enemy’s gunboats one of which
(some reported two) was an iron clad, had at
tacked our battery et Genesis Point, and as
the intsessant cannonading continued without
abatement from hour to hour, mush anxiety
was felt by our citizens to learn tile fortunes
of the fight Various exciting rumors were in
citculation, but no reliable information was re
cetvcd from the" battery until about noon, when
a dispatch was received from the Agent of the
Associated Press:
Wat’s Station, 12.40 P. M.—Seven gun
boats aro bombarding Genesis Point Two of
tlie enemy’s vessels arc uon-ciads, similar lo
the Atlanta, cne of which anchored seventeen
hundred yards in front - of the battery and open
ed lire about half past seven o’clock. The last
courier reports no damage done.
Tips firing began to slacken 11 little before
twelve o clock, but continued at intervals until
about, bail past twelve, when it ceased alto-
geflier. The most intense anxiety was felt by
our dtjzcns to know the result of the conflict,
manv supposing that the battery, unable to
withstand the dose tire of the iron clads, had
been silenced A iiUle after four o’clock, our
p .inful suspense was relieved by the following
dispatch from the Agent of the Associated
P, "Wat’s Station, 4:10, P. M.—The bombard
ment continued five and a half hours. The
tiring Closed about half past twelve o’clock.—
The rain began, and the enemy’s fleet left be
fore one o’clock, having failed to injure a single
man or gun. All the damage to the earth
works can be repaired in one day.”
Thug ended ihe second at it nipt of the enemy
to capture our battery gt Genesis 1’oint. After
five and a half hours cannonading from seven
of their vessels, and the exjiendiiure of powder
enough to fight a half dozen naval battles, they
were compelled to draw off out of reach of our
ijutpt, leaving our werks intact, nr.d without
laving injured $ man belonging to the garrison.
We have our doubts thfif having any
iron-clads in the action; but if they bad, the
result is only so much the more encouraging
to us. What damage they received is, of
course, unknown
The battery is commanded by Mijor John
B. Gallie, and is garrisoned at present by the
Republican Blues Emmet Rifles and DeKalb
Riflemen, volunteer corps of Savannah.
Since the above was in typo we are informed
that.two of the enemy’s iron-clad gunboats
were present. Our informant says that an
eight inch sclid shot from the battery struck
the turret of the iron clad, crippling it in such
a manner tliat it could not revolve. A rain
coining up about a i to 1, the enemy’s vessels
hauled ff, and were at 3 p in. anchored be
hind the point of woods.
The solid shot tb*t struck the iron clad was
shattered into pieces, slmilaf to thp bursting of
a shell, itn<l seemed to nave had no effect on
the ship. There were four more vessels below
Kilkenny Point, but were not in the engage
ment. One of ll’.e ifon-clads did not partici
pate in the fight.

LETTER FROM J. T. C.
nelson’s RAMSKltS AFTER TUB TORIES.
Knoxville, Jam 23, 1863.
I Editor Enquirer : In my last letter I spok :c
of outrages committed.by a band of lories 1 ti
Madison county, N. O, and the sending of a
force tliye to proH-ct tbe citizens from futui n
outrages, as well as to punish the offenders ic <r
what they had done. Among those sent to th* ,t
quarter were Nelson’s Georgia Partizan Ran -
gers. I saw and conversed with Captain Nel -
son to day, who bus just returned from tbs .t
quarter. On the 21st inst., whilst scoutin [
the mountains in that region, he came upon 1
large body of torie.- and deserters from the il4t! 3
N. 0. Regiment. A fight ensued immediately .
Though the Rangers were largely outnumber •
ed, the gallant Captain pitched into them with -
out fear, afieo.ion or favor, and'soon succeede. 1
in routing them. Thirteen were killed, a 1

that he will go to Savannah to take charge ot’

I have just seen Gov. Brown’s proclamation
relative to deserters and stragglers from our
army. It is to be hoped that tho proper offi
cers will promptly enforce the Governor’s sug
gestions. The public have no idea to what
an alarming extent desertion, straggling and
overstaying of time exists. Send all these
men back to camps, close your doors upon
them ; then the thinned r .aks of our armies
will soon be filled up, and w e can again make

Peace Proposals —We find in the proceedings
of the Yankee Senate the following:
“Mr. Cowan, of Pennsylvania ottered the peti
tion of W. 0. Jewett, praying for a reconsideration
of his late petition.
“This petition quotes from a epeecli ol benator
Sumner in favor of peace; oaks for the withdraw
al of President Lincoln’s emancipation proclama
tion so as to reunite the North; also f-sks for me
diation to *ave the Union, and prays that the peace
policy of Louis Napoleon, Ilorace Greeley and Mr.
Vallandighara may bo adopted, so as to prevent a
revolution in the North, which will be disunion.
“On motion of Mr. Sumner, Representative of
Massachusetts, the petition was laid on the table.”
This man, Jewett, claims tbe credit of inducing
the Emperor Napoleon to oibr mediation. Wheth
er he is crazy or not, wo do not know. He and
Greeley have been putting tneirtica'ds together late
ly to bring about somo relation of the national
troubles by means of foreign itcrfercnce.—Rich.

CURE FOR VIRULENT SMALL POX,
SCARLATINA AND MEASLES.
A merchant and ship owner of lioston has
had the following recipe sent to him from Eng
land, where it was furnished by Mr. L. Larkin
member of tho Royal Collcgo of Surgeons, who
vouches for it as a “medicine that will ettect a
revolution in the healing art, as regards the
prevention and cure, not only of small pox,
but also ol measles and scarlatina, however
malignant the type, in a manner more efficient
anu extraordinary than could ever have been
anticipated even by tbe most ardent philan
thropist;”
On the first appearance of fever or irritation
ushering in attacks, whether occurring in fam
ilies or large communities, the subjoined mode
of treatment should at once be entered on:—
Take one grain each of powdered foxglove or
digitalis, (valuable in tbe ratio of its greenness
—the dark should be rejected,) ar.d one of sul
phate of zinc, (this article is commonly known
as white vitriol.) These should be rubbed
thoroughly in a mortar, or other Convenient
vessel, with four or five drops of water; this
done, a noggin (or about four ounces) more,
with'some syrup or sugar should be added. Of
this mixture a tablespoonlul should oc given an
adult, and two lablcspoonfuL to a child, every
second hour, until all symptoms of disease
vanish. Thus conaucted, convalescence, as i
by magic, will result
The rapjtli’j' of an event so mspicious will
equally delight ami astonish. It may, how
ever, he necessary further te note, that should
the bowels become obsU'uc>ed,in the progress of
the disease, an evil by no ways common, then
a draclun of the compound powder of jalap,
(formed with two parts of cream tartar with
one of jalap,) and ono grain of the herb, treat
ed aa above, formed into a pastil with syrup
or sugar, should be givijn to an adult, and half
the quantity to a child. This simple medicine
shuts out every other form or article whatever,
as totally uanuecssary, if not pernicious.
Thu theihodus inedendi of ilu-se medicines,
capable of efiecting results so gigantic, remains
now only to lw given, and appears to be as fol
lows: This herb, hy jts anti-jVbi de properties,
lays iioi-i at once of tfie fever, the prolific
souiccof woe, which it immediately strangles,
while the zinc acts the pact of tonic, instantly
restoring the equilibrium.
Mr Larkin adds:
No emigrant or government vestfcl should
hererfter bo allowed to put to sea without a few
pence worth ol these protectors; and it is fur
ther ardently hoped that the dearest interests
Of our common humanity are sq vitally involv
ed in this discovery, tho press ff all countries
will give publicity to this announcement.
NAPOLEON AND THE YANKEE MINISTER.
What passed between (he Eitperor and Mr.
Dayton is thus stated by a Yanke* correspondent:
“When the Emperor aa is hi* fu«tom—passing
ia front of tha diplomatic corps, addressing a few
words to each, reached Mr. Dayton, he said to him,
“Well, Mr. Dayton, what news ?”
“Your Majesty,” replied Mr. Dayton, “I had
hoped a year ago to have been able at this time to
have given you much better news than j now can."
Tho Emperor than replied, “^ell, *ir, 5 am sor
ry for the bad news which has come, and 1 hope
in the course of the year it will be better.”
“These remarks were made in English with con
siderable hesitancy, as his Majesty does not speak
English as well now a.i he did some years ago.—
Thev are not supposed here to possess the slightest
political imporLince, aud,indecd,amo3g the Amen-
cans, it is considered that, in the closing words of
his remarks to our Minister, the Emperor was at
tempting to pcrpetrate'one of his grim jokes.”
F Wthek from Genesis Point.—From per
son: 1 who were at Gensis Point yesterday, we
lear n that the iron clad Yankee steamer came
up i n fine style, squared herself for a fight, and
afte r dipping her colors thrice, opened upon
the battery. She sat very low in the water
and but little mure thou her turret could be
seenu Our solid shot are skid to have broken
to pieces as they struck her siues. I he other
iron clad lay further down, round the bend on
the river, with the woeden vessels, the position
enabling them lo cross fire on the Fort. Tbe
shots were fired at intervals of two or three
minutes. The balls from.the turret were 11
and 16 .inch.
We learn that four vessels, apparently trans*
ports, were lying yesterday in Bear river, be
low Kilkenny, about twelve miles from the
Point. They probably contain troops, with
the intention, if possible. Of making a landing
in tho rear.
There were somo 160 government negroes
at work at the battery, who were sent into the
interior Monduy night, as soon as it was ascer
tained the enemy was coming up.
Wc are gratified to hear that all our men at
the Fort exhibited a coolness and courage dur
ing the engagement that did them honor.—
Hrerytbing was conducted quietlv and in or

gun.—Sac. Republican, 29<A.
PKTKRaticRo, Va., January 20. ; —The New York
Tribune of Friday lost, January 23, has been re
ceived here.
Burnside has issued an address to his army da
ted the 20th inst., announcing to the troops that
they “are about to meet the enemy once more.”—
He says: “The auspicious moment seems to have
arrived to strike a great and mortal blow to the
rebellion, and gain that decisive victory which is
due to the country. *Let the gallant soldiers of so
many battles accomplish this achievement, and
fame most glorious awaits them.”
Tbe Tribune’s correspondent after referring to
the movements of the Yankee troops preparatory
to the attack, says: “An unusually serious feeling
pervades the officers of the army. It is felt to ba
the criticle period of tbe war. The tone of the
troops has been despondent for the last two weeks,
and another repulse would bring results unpleas
ant to contemplate.”

Richmond, January 26.—The New York Herald
of January 21 has ail account of the inauguration
of Gov. Parker, of New Jersey, which took place
on tho 20th instant. Trenton was crowded with
citizens from all parts of the State. There was a
grand military parade and great enthusiasm.
The new Governor, in bis inaugural, denounced
tlie Federal assumptions of power, repudiated the
emancipation scheme, and asked, in conclusion, if
there was no way, consistent with the honor and
interest of all, to bring an end to this unnatural
war? We should not, he said, be afraid of peace
—honorable and permanent peaco—whether it
comes by the exercise of power or by the exercise
of conciliation. It should be a peace on tho basis
of ihe Union as it was—not a Union of States, part
of which aro held in subjugation as conquered pro
vinces.
Senator Wall, of New Jersey, was serenaded at
the Girard House, Philadelphia, on the 19th. He
made a speech, comparing tho Union to a ship at
sea in distress, with an incompetent pitot. The
crowd groaned at the mention of the name9 of Lin

Vessels to Run the Blockade.—The Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Herald write.-:
It i* stated here that private letters have h.-cn
received from England announcing that there are
now at sea forty vessels that have been fitted out
and loaded in British ports with a view to break
the blockade of the Southern American ports.
Among them are enumerated the steamers:
( Justitio, Juno, Firth, Wave, Queen,Calypso, Roy
al, Athino, Druro, Denbigh, Flora, nil said to be
long to Mr. Lindsay.
Also, the Bervin, Pet, Georgians, Neptune, Prince
Albert, Shelldrako, Lapsie, Janig Childs, lately
called the Julia Usher.
The list include* the following sailing vessels
cleared from Liverpool before the 2Sth Novem
ber:
* PeepO'Dav, Mary Francis, Clarence, Monmouth,
Dighy, Iutoinsia, Queen of the Ush, Severn.
These vessels are laden with arms, ammunition,
clothing, shoes, medicines, Ac.
It is also stated that a large amount of Confed
erate bonds, secured by a pledge of Cotton, at sev-
cu cents per pound, has been sold in England at
tho rate of fire shillings to tho pound sterling, and
that by these sales seven hundred and fifty thou-
saud pounds sterling have been realized by the
agent* ot the Confederate Government. M
An attempt is being made in tlie Northern Con
gress to increase the salaries of foreign Ministers
and Consul*. The excuse lor increasing tac ' sala

tha£ the ^change would reduce the pay to a star

A Nxiv,Yxax’s Anecdote.—“Cutty,"said a Fed

morning; “Come in and take a drink.”

my part, I tink white ossefer jis as good as nigga,

0>~r Galveston, Texas, )
January 13, 1863. f
[Correspondence of tbe New Orleans Delta]
Of thp first Galveston disaster you know all.-—
The rebels occupy the city with a strong force of
five thousand or seven thousand men. The city is
well fortified with batteries all rouud.
On Sunday evening a strange sail appeared off
the harbor. The gunboat Hattcras went in chase
about seven o’clock. A heavy lire was soon after
heard, aud the sloop-of-war Brooklyn and the gun
boat Sciota started in pursuit. The firing ceased
before these vessels reached the spot—some twen
ty miles from Galveston. At daylight next day Cap
tain Lowry, of the Sciota, picked up a boat con
taining au officer and five men, belonging to the
Hattcras. They [reported that at 7 o’clock, on
Sunday evening, the Uatteraa ranged up alongside
of a steamer, which looked like the Alabama; she
was hailed by Captain Blake, and replied : “1 am
Her Britannic Majesty’s steamer Spitfire.” Captain
Biako said : “Heave to—1 will send a boat aboard
ot you.” A boat was lowered—tbe one spoken of
as having been picked up.
Just as this boat shoved off, the strange steamer
opened & furious fire on the Hatteras. Both ves
sels then engaged in a fierce combat—running
ahead of the boat; but soon after—say about
twenty minutes—the officers in the boat saw the*
Hattcias stop, evidently crippled ; then there was
loud cheering on board the rebel steamer. The
Brooklyn and Sciota cruised all night, and next
morning found the wrack of the Hatteras, sunk in
nine fathoms water. Some of her boat* were pick
ed up, which contained arms aud bloody clothes.
But the victor had disappeared. The Hattcras was
a purchased iron ves-el, sister to the steamer St
Mary. She was uufit for a man-of-war—having no
power of endurance. Her battery consisted of
three small rifled guns and four short 32 pounder?.
The rebel had heavy guns—68 pounders, by the
sound. Opinions differ as to who be was. Some
think she was from Mobile and not the 290.
The vains and fortifications at Galveston are
formidable.
Lieut. Byrd of the 26th Georgia Regiment, was
nccidently drowned in the Sound on Sunday after
noon last, while endeavoring to get 011 board tbe
wracked Federal steamer Columbia.

Milestone,
Tax Administration about its End.—Tlie Ad
ministration at Washington is finding this war un
np hill business. The correspondent of the Anti-
Slavery Standard writes irom Washington:
It seems sometimes as if the President and the
Administration were slumbering upon the brick of
a fearful precipice aDd that nothing will arouse
them to a comprehension of their situation. Our
second great army is melting away like snow in
April. I ask my Republican friends in the West,
“Can you raise more troops by volunteering 1”
and they reply, “Not a man.” As lor the draft,
they say the West will not endure it.”
The Administration should tally comprehend the
dangers ahead, and do the best it can to overcome
them.
A Fleet ok Transkouts at Port Koval.—A re
port reached here yesterday from 1 reliable source,
that forty Yankee transports arc in Port Royal
harbor. Whether they are there for another de
monstration on Pocataligo, or whether they have
come in for shelter from the rou.yh weather we
are left to conjecture. Port Royal, or New South
as they call it, has become not only a free negro
heaven,but a Yankee haven for their transport* aud
naval vessel*. If they are permitted to hold quiet
possession of it for another year, it will become
ono of their most important naval depots, where
they will build their light, dragbt iron clads with
which to penetrate our river*. Is there no means
of disturbing their quiet! Will not Gen. Magrud-
er’s fleet of cotton-ciads, or Gen. Wheeler’s “horse
marines” take them in hand ?
ESTThe Chattanooga correspondent 01 the
Montgomery Mail, after describing the recep
tion ‘of Gen. Johnston at that place, gives the
following significant scene:
1*. S.—Scclc, a small railroad town—time
12 ra., a house with forty or tiity men, women
anil children. After repeated calls General
Johnston appears on the stage.

Richmond, Jn:\ 27.—Minister Adams, in a letter
to Secretary Seward, dated London, Oct. 17th, says
that, in his opinion, the recognition of the insur-
surgeuts aiuw depend* almost entirely on the for
tunes of tne war. If we prove ourselves by Feb

we are at this moment, it will be difficult for the
