lii’o-hts. and Southern States’ Rights. 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 . . , formed, and to the protection of which thev have v onr wav as we go.

The Commission- . to open Hooks in this city we presume can be • joJ at the State House. See their advertise- ni-nt “Nohasly Hurl.” 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 .

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. t Oiur ©ol nod SiliOW Yourselves. ii ui Massa Greeley calls on all the Unionists in ■ - ded States, who sympathise with the Gov- rnuiciit of the United States, to come out boldly and -how t ieir bauds, so that the Black Republi- »n Government at Washington may know what Uaing to Ike Wttrs. 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. count on before it lets loose the dogs of* ask no protection, and no favors of any kind from nr. It is astonishing how little the Abolitionists .. .ow of the honesty and resolution of Southern ,u Notwithstanding our people have deliber- V' ly and perpetually dissolved their connection " tli the Lincoln g ivernment, tlmre are some fools Greeley who believe that we are not really in <n,. st — that there are two parties in the Cotton Mates. and one of them is in favor of re union with * : - logger worshipping States of the North. Well, inas.-a Greeley, you have issued your edict—you ‘•me railed uu all your sympathisers in the Cotton 'tales to enrol under the banner which floats over Abraham the First, and to do so immediately, if not «ooner. W r e fhall see who is the first recruit. In the mean time you will do well to begin to con- T »rt thousands of your own citizens to tne cner nion policy of the Lincoln Administration. Right under vour nose, inassa Greeley, there is an ele- ® p nt, and no inconsiderable one either, which will C“f; you trouble—more trouble than was ever tmed of in your philosophy, Horatio. Let the : *t cun be tired against a citizen of the Confed- ‘•rate Slates, and there will be heard, under your office windows, a voice that will be as terri- ‘ t > your soul, as would b-s a Southern army "•fli banners, to your eyes. Massa Greeley you must give up the fight if .’'’or s e dependence rests upon disaffection, or ' Oionisin, as you call it. in the Confederate lat es.

' R. TOOMBS. Secretary of State. 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. JliUlar)' Uinplii). 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.

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 PRISONER OF WAR. Montgomery, April 13.—Maj. Chambers, of the Alabama Army, has just arrived from Pensacola. He brings here Lieut. Reed Walden, of the l?. S. Navy, a prisoner of war. He was the bearer of dispatches to Fort I’iekens and to the Federal fleet in Pensacola Bay. He is now held by the Secretary of War. who sent a detachment ou the railroad to arrest him. LOCAL.

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. UiT J. H. Nichols wishes to purchase a good cook, washer and ironer.

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.

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.

For the purpose of affording an opportunity to all who may be willing to take a part in this luan, we propone to have book, opened on the 17th of APRIL next, a( the following points, and at surli other places a. we may hereafter designate, vi* : Savannah, Augusta, Macon, Colum- 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 time,contribute aid to the cause of patriotism and their country.

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. Bonds with coupons will be issued in sums from $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 months at alt our principal cities. 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 at the time of subscription, and the remainder on or before the 1st of May—interest to run from the date of such payment. Fersous desiring to secure their subscriptions, may pay iu cash the whole amount, and take a receipt for the delivery of bonds or stock.
