The War rland rim.
It the “signs of the times” indicate anything,
we are very soon to feel the presence of War, in
its worst effect A people claiming' to be our
brothers, having a common ancestry, for many
l'Wg yews have been heaping abuse anil injury
upon us; and when at length their wrongs and
usurpation;, became too grievous to I13 borne, and
we had to leave them, they are about to declare to
the worid that the grave issue between us and
them shall only he settled by the stern arbitrament
of the sword. We stand entirely upon the de
fensive. We asked only to be let alone. The
government at tt ashingtou is the aggressor, .and
trod nm-t decide for us. We stand upon our own
soil, when the light begins ; but we pray that the
battle may not end until Aiia Lincoln and his vile
government shall be driven from Washington
Our President is a brave and accomplished oiheer,
and to him our people look, as the Isrealites of
old did to Moses, to be guided safely through the
wilderness If Virginia now secedes, as we be
lieve she will, we look to the bold and intrepid
W ise to head an army which shall descend upon
Washington City and expel the miscreants who
have inaugurated this war upon the rights of an
entire section ol the Union. Let Washington,
then, be the point of attack upon land. An army of
twenty thousand men cau sweep out every ves
tige of the Black Republican Government.
Partin.
Some of our over zealous brethren are agitatin
the question of new parties in Georgia; and in
the abseuce of any real necessity or basis for or
ganization, they are endeavoring to create arti
ficial ones. Our opinion is, that party divisions
will arise soon enough, in the natural order of
things. At present, all men ought to be vitally
interested in keeping down party divisions in
Georgia. When our people should be a unit in
defence of the new government they have just

Next Wednesday is the day fixed on by the
•miissinners in this city to receive (lie loan
. ,,-d for by the Government of the Confederate j
. :!( tes. Any person who is desirous of being in- |
- ned on the subject has only to turn to another
.am of this paper and read the Advertisement
,’,'i “Loan for the defence of the Confederate
. t. s.” The interest is at the rate of 8 per cen-
. a year, paid semiannually at the place of
,-rip:ion Bills of giod Banks are taken at

and good one. Persons who pay down the

When the sage of Springfield departed for the
. ne of his inglorious labors, he repeatedly told
the people all along his route to the Capital, that
. :! ; .:ig was going wrong, nobody was hurt, no-
..njv suffering. Scarcely a month has passed since
•delivered these wise opinions, and the whole
■ intry over which he rules, is distracted, and is
.riiiing on financial rain. There were about
t,:t? failures among business men in the priuci-
r. cities of the North, during the single week
miiug March 29. We coutinuallv hear of dis-
v-.. among the working classes at the North;
i we presume even the Stoicism of Old Abe is
• i.iiig to feel the shock. Nothing keeps him
i'Ut his protestations of peace. One week of
.r with the Confederate Stales, would shake
G'weinineut of Lincoln to its base. The mo-
. which it has borrowed from Bankers and Cap-
ists at the North, was secured on the pledge
. Lincoln would not inaugurate a war with

A (Oral Mi»lnkf.
O.ir neighbor, ihc Southern Recorder, last week
spied an article wnich originally appeared in the
U.ciimond Liiqnii'er, credited to the Richmond
II tig. The article was full of tine Southern pat
.sni, and is so different fiom anything the Whig
-r gets off. that we do hope our neighbor will
. ike t'n- correction. We would have as soon ex-
, led to see the article in question in the columns
: tiie New York Tribune, as in the Richmond
IlhtJ. We hope our neighbor will do his readers,
..j the Whig, the justice to put the matter right
is next issue. The Enquirer gave birth to the
•ticl' and we copied it in our issue of the 2d inst.,
ptrly credited. It may seem that we are put-
: ag an undue importance on this matter. But it
- a rciious matter. A paper that has obtained so
-reputable a name at the South as the Richmond
It/ic' should not be allowed to borrow one breath
f life from the honest bosom of a true Southern
1 iitor.
Cuba.
Tii-re was a time when tiie Southern people de-
-' J to possess the fair islaud of Cuba. They
ie willing to buy it at almost any priee, and
'••■ere ready to fight for it at the word of command
n Uncle Sam. But times have changed. The
> athmi Confederate States now have it in their
ever to make a steadfast and powerful ally of
'pain, by a course of policy which shall keep Cuba
:. icr the dominion of Spain and out of harm's
’■'•ay. Cuba is not ripe for us, and we can make
■ by protecting Spain in its possession than by
■ ,v qtiisitioa. We cannot permit any other ua-
t.on to own it, and Spain will find it to her iuter-
ert to be. I'rieudly with us, because we can be of
vice to her, in case a more powerful nation
ihoxd attempt to seize her beautiful isiaud.
Doubtless our Government is fully aware of the
importance of the policy we recommend. It cer
tainly looks to us like a good policy.

ii ui Massa Greeley calls on all the Unionists in

We saw some young fellows in the various
Companies, which were collected at Macon, upon
whose chins there was no more “capillary sub
stance” than vegetates on the palm of a woman's
hand. Yet the boys were as full of fight as young
Bull Terriers. We remonstrated vvilh a collide ot
youths who left our Office to participate in the
conflict. They had just begun to set a “fair
proof,” and suddenly became enthused with the
prevailing disease, and no words of admonition
could turn them back towards the “case.” They
were big enough to fight, they said, and had en
listed for better or for worse. These youths were
captivated wiih the idea of a soldier’s life, and the
‘■spirit stirring drum and ear piercing fife” filled
them to the brim with patriotic ardor. They have
gone to “see the elephant,” and before a twelve
month passes, they will, if alive, return with sev
eral new wrinkles. Tiie shooting slick which they
have adopted in lieu of the old, may lock up their
young forms forever. The copy set before them
will be “fat,” but leaded matter. If they arc not
knocked into ‘ pi,” we trust the impression they
receive will make a future correction of errors un
necessary.
NobSe Examples.
Senator Wigfail of Texas lias entered a volun
teer company at Charleston, as a private. He has
since been promoted to the Staff’of Gen. Beau
regard. The venerable Thomas RnfSn of Virgin
ia, who was in onr city dftring the session of the
last Legislature, and who is near seventy years ot
age, is also a private in one of the companies at
Charleston. Such examples should steel the
hea-ts and nerve the arms of the young men of flu
country. There arc many other such men in
the Confederate States, whose beads are as white
as the cotton they grow in their fields, who will
ird on their armor and mareh to the scene of
conflict, when duty or their country demands then-
services. The first Federal gun fired at our citi
zens, will wake up many an old soldier, who had
hoped to end his day.s in retirement and peace,
but who will shoulder his musket and march forth,
with all the lire and elasticity of youth. A gray
headed reginvut could be burned in the Confeder
ate States in six weeks.
The fl nr Polir; of the Xorilurn Govern
ment.
The bUndne article is from the New York
Times, ot Friday last;
“ The Administration Policy.—The signs of the
times indicate that the Government has decided to
enter upon a vigorous and decided policy, in vin
dication of its authority and in protection of its in
terest. Our advices from Washington render it
probable, to say the least, that the revenue laws
are to he enforced in Southern ports, as well as
Northern—and that vessels will not he permitted
to enter ports where duties upon their cargoes
will not be paid. It is probable New Orleans will
be blockaded, as well as eve y other Soatliern
port.
“Whatever we may think of the comparative
wisdom of this policy, we shall, if it has been or
shall be adopted by llie Government, give it our
hearty support. Unless we are prepared for the
complete and permanent destruction of our Gov
ernment, its supreme authority must be asserted.
If the secessionists of the Southern States are
prepared to join issue upon the rightful supremacy
of the Constitution, the country will be prepared
to meet them and try conclusions on any field of
their selection. War is never anything better than
a horrible necessity; but it is sometimes the only
means by which a great nation can be saved from
the worst and lowest degradation—the loss ot hon
or and ot sell respect.
•‘The gieat mass of the American people will
hail with hearty satisfaction, the adoption of some
specific policy against the secession movement
We presume the measures taken will be merely
for the enforcement of the laws, at the entrance
of the ports ot the seceded States. Ibis is not in
itself a hostile step; and can only bcome so by
forcible resistance on the part of those whose obe
dience to law is to be enforced, i hat it may load
to war it would, of course, be idle to doubt. l>ut
if it does, the entire guilt will rest upon those who
have rebelled against the Government.”
Has the Editor of the New York Times really
become a convert to despotism? According to the
doctrine put forth in the above article, the people
of the Southern States have no right whatever to
govern themselves, all they have to do. is to obey,
and pay taxes. If they attempt to govern iln-m-
se’ves, and to dote! mine what taxes they will pay.
thev are tube flogged into compliance. The Amer
ican doctrine heretofore has been, that govern
ments were created for the benetit of the people.
The doctrine of the New York Times is. that the
people were created for the benefit of the rulers,
and the principal duty of the Government is, to
force the people to pay taxes for the sole benefit ot
the rulers, llie people ot tiie Confederate States.

the Northern States. Why then should we pay a
tribute to a Government from which we derive no
benefit and to which we owe no allegiance’ The
doctrine of the New York Times, is the doctrine ol
despots. Russia meant no harm to Poland, only
she wished to impose her laws upon an unwilling
people, and make them pay tribute, that is all that
Austria wants to do to the Italians, and that is all
that Old Abe, aud his minions want to da to the
Southern people. But will he succeed? Ah, there
is the rub. n
The Choctaw Nation.
On the fourth page of our present issue, w ill b'
found the message of the principal chief to the
members of the Legislature al the Choctaw Nation
Tli is is an important document, and show s that
the Choctaws have men among them w ho clearly
appreciate their position in the impending crisis of
t»ur National affairs. It will be seen by a perusal
of this document, that the Choctaws have about
two thousand slaves of their own, that they own
their land in fee simple as a Nation and their chief
advises a partition ot the laud among the people,
so that they may own it in fee simple as individu
als. Tiie chief also recommends a general Conven
tion of tha Cborokees, the Creeks, Chickasaws,
Seminole* and Choctaws, to consult together
about their conduct in refereuce lo a division of the
United States, and says truly that both feeling and
interest will induce them to east their lot with the
Southern Confederacy. The message is plain and
easy to be understood, aud in that respect as well
as in many others.-wil! compare favorably with the
message of Abraham Lincoln, and if we are to
judge of the people by their respective representa
tive men, we should judge that the Choctaws
were more highly civilized than tbu people of
some of onr western States.

There was quite a Military display in Sparta ou
Saturday last. Vice President Stephens aud ex-
Gov. Johnson made stirring and eloquent speeches.
There were, also, other addresses.
A Game Caaapaay.
The Macoa Guards, through Captain Lamas,
1st Lieut. Fixdley, and 2nd Lieut Wilcox, ten-
dered their services to Gov. Brown, on Saturday
last, with a Mastet Roll of Sixty men. The Gov.
told them they were the first Company iu the

For the Federal Unio n.
I.rclnrrH on Temperance.
Many gentlemen have eniered this field of la
bor, and have net only become distinguished for
zeal and eloquence, but have won for themselves
enduring fame, for the good they have accomplish
ed. Beyond the limits of Georgia, perhaps no in
dividual has become more distinguished than the
renowned GoruH; while, within the limits of our
•Slate, we can boast of more than one whose la
bors to promote the Temperance cause, have been
ardent, eloquent, persevering, and attended with
success, in many instances, most gratifying to its
friends.
Recently, in the person of one, whom the writer
has known from his youth, there has appeared an
other advocate of Temperance; another to warn hu
manity against indulgence in inloxicating drinks
I refer, Messrs. Editors, to Msj. W. T. W. Napifr.
than whom, in my humble judgment, but few, at
home or abroad, are as successful as be in lectur
ing on this important subject. Like Goi’GU, he
is ‘rich, racy, and rare;” and, like him, able, elo
quent, and convincing. Perhaps he excels Gough.
wherever lie attempts to depict the experience of
the slave to alcoholic drinks; while he is equal to
the task, and profoundly eloqnent, when he at
tempts an illnstration of the sensations that pre
vail with one who lias been rescued from the do
minion of King Alcohol.
I have known Maj. NaPILU, from his youth to
the present day, and I rejoice to see him now so
earnest and able an advocate of Temperance; so
determined and hostile an adversary to inebriate
habits. But Messrs. Editors, his field of labor is
too circumscribed; it shouid be broader; and I
would earnestly urge upon our State Temperance
Society to see that it become so—that the Society
make arrangements by which this gentleman may
visit during the present year, every point in our
State, at which an audience can be had. Maj. Na-
I’ll.R is an honorable, high-minded gentleman;
comi’oriable in his circumstances, and would
doubtless accept such a mission, bis expenses be
ing paid. .My word for it, be would revive the
flagging cause of Temperance, in our State, and
“pluck many a brand from the buruing” fumes of
__ ALCOHOL.

A Dream.
A few nights ago “The Local” had a dream,
lie had just retired weary aud sick of types,
shooting sticks, sensation news, &c., about the
war. He dreamed that Major Anderson sent for
him suddenly, to take command of Fort Sumter.
Abe Lincoln was mounted on Gen’l. Scott, and
carrying two sand bags on his shoulders. He at
tempted to pass the Fort, when he opened fire on
the craft. Scott suddenly disappeared, and Abe
Lincoln walked into the Fort with forty-two new
subscribers and a check for seventy-five dollars.
This so tickled ‘the Local’ that he gave vent to a
horse laugh, and woke up. He supposes the
laughing woke him, as lie felt very much amused
at the night’s adventure, albeit it was “only a
dream.” Being his first real engagement in the
military, he very naturally got things mixed up.
lie regrets that the money part turned out so
badly.
TIIE* NEWS.
Our citizens have been more or less excited du-
rlnoc (be past week by rumors of war. They were
in constant expectation of important news. Tho
reports of one hour were contradicted the next.—
The following is a fair specimen of the reports fly
ing around our streets :
Euter 1st gentlemen.—The fight lias commenced
at Charleston—they are fighting there now.
Enter 2d gentleman.—Gov. Brown has received
a despatch from Charleston, and there are no war
vessels there. No vessels have been sent there.
Enter 3J gentleman.—Great excitement in Char
leston. Battle expected hourly.
Enter 4th gentleman—President Davis lias made
a requisition on Georgia for 3000 more volunteers.
5th gentlemen.—G<neral Wayne says no such
requisition has been made.
Enter 6th gentleman—It is a positive fact that
they are now fighting in Charleston.
This statement proved to be correct.
THE STATe'hOUSE SQUARE.
Through the public spirit of Govs. Johnson and
Brown the State House Square has been adorned
and beautified- The shade trees are just putting
ou their Spring dress, and the grass is green and
inviting. There is no more appropriate and beau
tiful place in our city, where an hour or two in
the afternoon could be so pleasantly whiled
away. All that is needed to render this spot a
favorite resort tor ladies and gentlemen, and
young children, is something to sit on, when they
get tired of walking. Will not our obliging Gov
ernor Lave neat but substantial seats made in
different parts of the square? We are assured
by many ladies, that he will not only do a great
favor to them, but he will add to the beauty of the
square, and confer a public benefit- Our public
spirited friend Green, Principal Keeper of the
Penitentiary, will take pleasure in supplying the
desideratum;
RESIGNED.
As“t. Surgeon A. J. Foard, of the U. S. Army
for the last eight years, was in our city last week.
He lias sent in bis resignation to the President,
and tendered his services to Gov. Brown. lie is,
at present, in Montgomery. Dr. Foard is a na
tive of this tBaldwin) county, and lias earned an
enviable reputation in the position he has relin
quished. We trust that President Davis will pro
mote him, by appointing him to the office of Sur
geon in tho Army of the Confederate States. He
is deserving tho honor, aud will reflect credit on
the service.
THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
We bad several fine showers of rain during ‘be
past- week On Friday night last we had quite a
thunder storm. The lightning was sharp. The
rain fell quite heavily. Saturday opened mild and
beautiful, and vegetation was much revived. The
grain crops in this vicinity areunusally promising.
If the next ten days bring no frost, the best
wheat and oat crop will be made in this county
that has been made in ten years. Providence
seems to be smiling on our laud.
&F A good assortment of Fancy Cassimeres
and Vestings, suitable for Spring and Summer
wear, has just been received at the lailoring Es
tablishment of our friend Thomas Brown, which
he will make up to order, in the very latest style.
New Boaaela sad Trimming*.
The Ladies at Mr. Lanterman’s, and Miss L.
Carr, have both received splendid assortment ot
new bonnets and trimmings. Any of our Ladies
in town or country, who wish to get o lore of a
bonnet can be accommodated at either of the above
named places. We hare never seen more beauti
ful bonnets, or more tasteful trimmings, than
have come cut this Spring, and we think the La
dies in the surrounding country can get as good
bargains in that line in Miliedgeville, as in any
other pisce in Georgia.
The Tr.oup Artillery, failing to get cannon,
have taken muskets and are drilling, for the pres
ent, as Infantry. We understand they have a
good list of members, and bid fair to make a tip
top company. We hope to see (hem out soon.

The Treasuer of tho Confederate States shall

Whenever an amount shall be placed in tli“

penses of the management of the debt shall be
applied to the purchase from the low-est bidder of
the Bonds or Stock Certificates issued under the

Seat of Government for thirty days, and at such
other places as the Secretary of the Treasury-
may direct, inviting proposals from holders for

CHILLS AND FEVER! CHILLS AND FE
VEU !!—One of the greatest remedies that has ever
been laid before the public for Fever and Ague, and
which have received the highest encomiums from tli
press and the people, is I)li. J. HOSTETTEKS CEL
EBRATED BITTERS. Who would endure the tor
tures arising from this terrible disease, when it ean be
so easily cured ? Who would endure sleepless nights,
burning fevers aud icy chills alternately, when a rem-
ly can be obtained for a mere trifle? And yet how
many families linger out a painful existence under this
deadly blight, and nothing but gulp down quinine,
until it becomes as common us daily meals, awl yet
they are not relieved. None but the foolish ami week
would hesitate to procure these valuable Bitters, and
save themselves intense agony.

McLean’s Cordial.—As may be seen,
we insert this week the advertisement of
McLean’s Cordial, &c.
It is very well known that we are not
particularly favorable to patent medicines,
and, as a general tiling, eschew the whole
of them with hut little ceremony, and with
these sentiments we declined inserting this
advertisement until we knew what were
the ingredients of the medicine, and how
compounded. This we have learned, and
believing, as we do, that the ingredients
are good, and the compound judiciously
made, we recommend it as a mixture wor
thy of public confidence.
The above is from St. Louis Christian
Advocate, edited by renowned llev. l)r.
McAnally, which speaks volumes in fa
vor of Me Lean’s Cordial. We say to
all, try it. See the advertisement in an

IMPERIAL
WINE BITTERS

Comfrey, Wild Cherry Tree Bark, Spikenard, ('ammo-
mile Flowers and Gentian. They are manufactured
by I)r. 1 tods himself, who is an experienced and suc
cessful Physician, and hence, should not be classed
among the quack nostrums, which flood the country,
and against which the Medical profession are so justly
prejudiced. These truly valuable Bitters have not
been fairly before the public for one year, and yet
there is a heavy demand for them from all parts of
the Union.
Dr. Frink, No. 30 West 35th Street, New York,
says:
1 have been greatly benefitted by using Dr. Dials’
Wine Bitters, and am now using them freely and suc
cessfully in my practice. As a medicine for Females
I consider them unequaled.’.’
Dr. Guernsey, No. 1-S West 23d Street, says:
“1 have used Dr. Dods' Wine Bitters in my practice,
and iu all cases where a tonic is required, I consider
them unsurpassed, and cheerfully recommend them as
a valuable Family Medicine."
Dr. Meacham.of Florida, says:
“For several years 1 suffered all the horrors of Cron-
icDyspep: ia. 1 used all other remedies without ax’ail.
I discarded prejudice and used Dr. Dials’ Wine bitters
which have greatly benefitted me, uud 1 believe will
cure uie.”
Mr. G- S. Weaver, of Albany, N. A’., says:
“My wife was sinking rapidly wiih cousumytion: the
best physicians in Albany aud New York city pronounc
ed her ease hopeless. She used I)r. Dods’ Wine Bit
ters; and is cured.”
Mr. J. B. Stunts, of Newark, N. J . says:
“Mr daughter was extremely ill; she had been at
tended by four orour best physicians; her disease was
Inflamation of the Bowels, which had produced ex
treme debility. Her case was considered hopeless by
all who saw her. A friend recommended Dr. Dods’
Wine Bitters; she used them aud is well.”
.Mr. Brittain, editor ofthe Banner yf Light, in Boston
says:
“Dr. J. Box’ee Dods’ Wine Bitters have cured me of
Piles of the worst and olistinate character.”
A distinguished lady of Mobile, Ala., writing to a
female friend says:
“I would advise yon to use Dr. J. Bovee Diels' Im
perial Wine Bitters. Ihave used them, and consider
them a blessing to our sex.”
We might write a small volume, and then wonld not
give one fourth of the Testimonials in our possession, as
to the virtue of these Valuable Bitters, but we will on
ly say that thev are approved of by our best Physicians,
are doing liiui-h good in all parts of the country, and
earnestly entreat the afflicted to try them.

Georgia, to bring forward in said State, five millions
of the loan of fifteen millions of ilollars, recently au
thorized by act of Congress. For the purpose of
affording an opportunity to all who may be willing to

bu», Atlanta, Miliedgeville, Athens, and Rome.
Special notice of the place where the Books will b«
opened, and of the persons appointed for this pnrpoM,
at each of these points, will be in dne time gtven.
Below we suaniit a statement from the Secretary,
wlni-h in connection with the Act, is plainly explana
tory of the nature and character of this loan. And
we express the confident hope, that our fellow citixena
will approve of this direct appeal to the people, rath
er than to foreign capitalists, for the means of carry-
ii g on our new Government; nnd that nil possessed of
the menus will feel it their duty to avail themselves of
an opportunity whieh enables them to make an en
tirely safe and profitable investment, and at the same

CONFEDERATE STATES.
F IVE MILLIONS of this most advantageous in
vestment will be offered to the public on the 17th
of APRIL ensuing, and every citizen throughout the
Confederate States will have an opportunity of taking
a share of the benefit, and at the same time of sus
taining the cause of his country.

$l.ffffff to $5ff, aud, where it is preferred, stock certifi
cates in the usual form may beliad. The interest is at
EIGHT PER CENT, per annum, payable every six

The debt lias the very unusual nnd important secu
rity of a duty of one-eighth of a cent per pound, or
about t>2 cents per bale, on all cotton exported. Thic
duty, under all circumstances, of pence «r war, se
cures the punctual payment of the interest, nnd fur
nishes a sinking fund for the redemption of the prin
cipal. The coupons, when due, are receivable in pay
ment of the duty on cotton, and are thus made availa
ble as coin, everywhere in onr rimntry. In order to
enable all portions of onr people to take a part of this
valuable investment, and to exliibit their common in
terest in raising funds for the common defence, books
of subscription will be opened at the cities and princi
pal interior towns; five per cent must be paid in cash

equalize the rate of subscription at nil (mints, and to
enable all persons conveniently to subscribe, current
bank notes of the place will be received at their mar
ket value in coin.
In cuse of an over subscription, preference will be
given first to those who pay down their whole sub
scription: next to subscribers of $50: next to subscri
bers of $100.
