Hundreds of our citizens, most of them wealthy,
l.ave been in the habit of spending several months
in the Summer at tho North, or on the coast of
N n Jersey. The pending War will put a stop to
ti. - migration Northward. Millions of dollars
hive beeen spent North by our citizens, and they
r turn to us now in the shape of instruments of
• afii in the hands of the vile creatures who have
s' long been the recipients of our liberality. Not
tlier dollar from any Southern man’s pocket
-i.juld go into the coffers of our enemies at the
North. If our people will change their tesidences
ji the Summer, and seek health, comfort and
amusement, let them go to the moudtains of Geor
gia. iu tlie neighborhood of Clarksville and
Gainesville is natural scenery unsurpassed on
this Continent, and as pure water and bracing an

If the tiaveller is not an invalid, and seeks the so-
ci' ty and amusement of public watering places,
combined with a good climate and medicinal wa
ters ot great repute, let him go to Catoosa. There
r.re other places in Georgia, among which we
might name, the Madison Springs, Indian Springs,
Chalybeate and Warm, where every variety of
society, air and water can be found, with all the
comfort which an invalid, or a person in good
■ -altli. might desire. Few persons who have
‘ een accustomed to spend their Summers at the
North, know anything of the beauty of our iiioun-
t in scenery or the value of our medicinal Springs
tn-y have but to stay at borne one Summer, to
icarn w hat mines of amusement they have at their
t ry doors. And as to health, one Summer in the

i ek and an activity to the body, little dieatned
: by these strangers to Summer life at home. If
t.i-y will go abroad in search of health and pleas-

America.”
I nen comes a recapitulation of the powers spe
cially delegated by the States to the Federal Gov
ernment.
W hen called upon to ratify this Constitution,
the States, in order that no doubt might exist as to
the extent ot this fundamental law, and to define
mole precisely still tho nature of the connexion
to, and the relations with the Federal Government
thus created, declared, that by virtue of this com
pact, the ditierent States of America do not unite
together on the principle of unlimited submission
to the Federal Government, but that by the com
pact styled the Constitution of the United States,
and susceptible of amendment, they instituted a
general government for specifically defined pur
poses, reserving to each State, separately, all the
other rights of sovereignty not delegated by the
Constitution; that if ever the Federal Govern
ment should assume other powers than those spe
cially conceded to it,its acts would be null and void:
and that the Federal Government created by thi>
Constitution could not in any case be the judge I
ot the extent of its powers, but that as in all cou- j
federations between sovereign States, not Slaving |
a common appellate tribunal, each State reserves
to itself an equal right of judging of the infrac
tions of tho compact and of redressing them.
After tbit solemn declaration the Constitutiin
was adopted and signed by Washington, Franklin,
Madison and others who took an active part in tries
public affairs of the country, and who never dream
ed as the Opinion Nationalc has done of converting
sovereign States into provinces dependent upon a
central government. On the contrary, and is if
these States jealous of their sovereignty had not
found the guarantee of their rights expressed with
sufficient clearness, they presented iu 178Pthe
amendment by the celebrated Jefferson which was
ratified in 171)1 and which is thus expressed:
“The powers not delegated to the United States
by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the
States, are reserved to the States respectively or
to the people.”
Thus the Opinion Nationalc can easily convince
itself, by examining the Constitution, that it does
not contain a single clause which denies to the
States the right of withdrawing from the 1 nion,
nor a single danse which gives to the Federal
Government the power ot co-ercing a Sta eto re
main in the Union, and if its imagination, should
draw opposite inferences, from a counexh u ol the
provisions of the Constitution viewed together,
we offer to it the interpretation of Washington
himself whose testimony on this point is worth
more, we think, than that of the Opinion Xationale.
The father of his country was, so lii from re
garding the L'nion as indissoluble, or of believing
that the Federal Government had the right of co
ercing a State remain in it, that in bis valedic
tory address, he conjured hi* fellow-citizens never
to think of dissolving the Union whatever their
grievances might be. “In resuming your sever
eign rights,” such is the general tentr of his ad
dress, “you will,” he represents to tiem, “inevi
tably expose yourselves to the oppre.-sion of one
portion by another.”
Does not this lively solicitude of Washington
for Union, as expressed in his Farewell Address,
indicate with clearness that he recognized the ab
solute right of a State to withdraw itself from the
Union ?
The. Articles of Confederation of 781, the Con
stitution of 1787, the amendment of 1789, the
opinion of Washington, all, agree n demonstra
ting the error of the Opinion Nationals when it
persists in regarding the States only as provinces
The Constitution, in reality, is oily a treaty be
tween sovereign powers, appointing a common a-
gent,under the uame of a Vtde.ral Govrnment, for the
purpose of managing for tlie common welfare cer
tain general details of public iutirest, and espe
cially their relations with foreign governments.
Whatever the Opinion Nationalr. may think of
it, herein is to he found the impoeacy which now
paralyses the Cabinet at Washington.
The North knows full well tint there is some
thing stronger than its desire to rile over the South:
it comprehends in spite of its fanaticism that the
Constitution refuses the means for coercing the
seceded States; it knows, that which the Opinion
Nationale seems to be ignorant of, that it cannot
stretch a rash hand towards the Southern Confed
eracy without denying its own fights of sovereign
ty ; it knows that it cannot brug back the South
into the Union except by warand conquest, and
admitting its success (doubtfu. if we are to judge
by the surrender of Fort Sumter,) it wouid put in
jeopardy its own existence.
The Opinion Nationale. calls the Southern States,
rebels, because they refuse to sanction the usur
pation of powers which have never been delegated
to the Federal Government: it stigmatises them
as revolutionary became iliey are opposed to
changing the constitutional system into a tyran
ny without check, and retase to debase them
selves from sovereign States to the passive char
acter of dependent provinces.
It styles conspirators and traitors those patriots
who feared not to shatter the Union which they
venerated rather than subject their country tiudtr
the yoke of Northern fratricidal hostility: be it so
On tlie other hand, we assert that the South has
ennobled herself by a treason similar to that which
fired the hcait of Hampden, like that
flowed in burning torrents from the lip® °*“aU
rick Henry, like tiVat which has encircled the
brow of Wash ngton-tvith 4 halo of immortil
glory.
Whatever: the Opinion Nationalr may saj.

Wlaat fool* th<*y arc!
The Democrats and conservatives at thcNortli
are vigorously sustaining the Black Republicans
with Abe Lincoln at their head, in their savage
warfare upen the South, and they say they do this
for fhe purpose of preserving tho Union. Oh
what folly Do they suppose they can induce
the people of the South do return to the Union
by burning their towns, laying waste their fields,
killing tiieir men and turning tho negroes and
their ruffian soldiers loose upon tlie women and
children. Such threats are daily made iu the
Northern newspapers, and if they are not carried
out tc ri:e letter, it will be because the Lincoln
government lias not the power to doit. Wo can
tell tlem iu all candor, that whilst this generation
lives, there xvill be no more union with the bar
barians of tlie North. The threats of the Aboli-
tioD press has revealed what they xvould do if they
could, and has effectually and forever severed
every tie that has ever bound any Southern man
tofiie Union. It would be the deepest degrada
tion for any Southern man ever again to desire
any political association with such a people ; and
xxedonot know of a single man iu Georgia, that
f rofesscs to be in favor of a reunion. What folly,
then, to talk about the Union. The gulf that sep
arates ns, Is as impassible as that between Dives
and Lazarus, and it is growing wider and deeper
every day. What folly then to be contributing
men an J money to restore the Union xxhen the
thing is utterly impossible. When Lincoln com
menced his war upon the South, hut seven States
had left the Union, now there are eleven in the
Southern Confederacy ; and if. lie continues his
war of aggression upon us. there xvill be thirteen
or fourteen before long. This is a veiy had com
mencement at restoring the Union.
and have had the amounts of their ox er-payments
refunded to them ; while the General Tax ot I860
is still indebted to a respectable number of conn-
ties for their insolvent lists. Until these cotne in,
there is no at riving at the precise amount to be
apportioned to each county; but having made al
loxvanees firr the same, I think the folloxving ap
portionment xvould not be changed materially
were all these over-payments refunded :

They won’t fight.
AVe see it stated by a New York Editor, that
out of the dozen Black Republican Printing of
fices in that city, not one single man has volun
teered to fight Abe Lincoln’s battles. Greeley
and Webb, and Bennett and Raymond, and the
hundred and one strikers and belloxvs-bloxvers in
and about their sanctums, keep at a safe distance
from the scene of the AA’ar. But, ye Gods, hoxv
they fight on paper! Not a day comes, but every
one of the Lincoln organs in New A’ork, whip
and horribly mangle the Southern armies. AVitb
each recurring sun-rise they issue their blood
stained sheets, and all liigger-dom devours the ex
citing War news with a gusto that is truly refresh
ing to lookers on at a distance. AVliiie Abe Lin
coin has been putting AVasliington city into a re
spectable fighting shape, Bennett and Raymond
and AA’ebb have been leading his soldiers to bat
tle xvith their goose quills, and pouring the deadly
shot into the enemy from tiieir inkstands. Hoxv

Baldwin Volunteer*.
This company which is noxv organizing, in our
midst, is composed of tho material which xve
think xvill do credit to their name and to the coun
ty from which they are raised. They inherit the
name, and we belieTe, the valor and patriotism of
the Baldxvin A r oluntcers, which iu 1812, under
Capt. Tomlinson Furt, did good service to the
State in the Florida and Indian Wins. Their
present commander, Capt. Beck, has seen mnch
active service for five years in the regular Army
of the United States, and is xvell qualified to pre
pare them for active service and to lead them in
battle. AA’o give below, the names of the old
Company of tlie Baldxvin Volunteers, because we
think it will be interesting to friends and rela
tives of those brave men, and perhaps will stimu
late some of their sons and relatives to join the
new company and emulate the deeds of their
fathers.

A'ery respectfully,
A’our ob’t. serv’t.,
PETERSON THWEATT.
Comptroller General.
itlouroe. Wnllou County.
Messrs. Editors :
I desire to give the many A’olunteer Companies
of the State a hint through your paper.
The AValton Iufantry is a new Cmpany organ
ized about the first of May’, by the election of
GeorgeT. Anderson, Captain, Henry D. McDan
iel, 1st Lieutenaut, M. S. Nunnally, 2nd Lieu
tenant, and E. C. Arnold, 3rd Lieutenant, with a
roll of 80 men. rank and file.
Capt. Andesson is xvell knoxvn to the pecple of
Georgia He xvas promoted to a Captaincy in
the regular army ot the United States, for gallant
conduct during the Mexican war, where he had
the honor to make a prisoner of Gen. Lavega.
He resigned his commission before the present
troubles broke out. Absent in Kansas at the be
ginning of the secession excitement, he hastened
to wind up his affairs, and a fexv days since
reached his native State to join in her defence.
A Company xvas rapidly formed as above stated.
Lieutenant McDaniel xvas one of the delegates
to the lato Georgia State Convention, voted for
the Ordinance of Secession, and noxv seems to be
ready to meet whatever of danger to the people
of Georgia may follow that act.
Lieutenant Nunnally, at the time of Georgia’s
secession, xvas one of the Cadets of the U- S.
Military Academy at AA’est Point. He immediate
ly resigned, and is noxv engaged in drilling and
fitting a Company from his native county for the
field. He is a young man of fine military capacity
and training. Lieutenant Arnold is a nephew ot
the Hon. Ellijah Arnold, of Henry county, who
has for many years worthily filled a place in the
councils of Georgia.
Llponits formation the Company xvent rapidly
to xvork to prepare for service. The citizens
raised by subscription nearly $3,000, to equip tlie
Infantry of the county, of xvhich this Company
is the only one noxv organized. Their tents are
made after the pattern of those used in the regu
lar army, and iu ten days after its organization,
by the efforts of the ladies in making the tents
and furnishing sleeping and cooking utensils, &c.,
the Company xvas in camp, and the ladies are noxv
rapidly making the uniforms, and other necessary
outfit.
The object of the camp being to discipline
the men and fit them for service. The officers
seem to be active and industrious in the xvork of
making soldiers.
The camp wears all the features of a camp in
regular service, the regulations being, as I learn,
essentially thesame, as used in the regular army.
It is the intention of Capt. Anderson to remain
iu camp until the men are xvell drilled.
Rev. A. T. Holmes, of Decaturr and Rev. Mr.
Sentell preached for the Company on Sunday last.
The croxvd xvas large, and all went axvay delighted
with the fine soldierly appearance of the camp,
and the discipline and good order and system that
reigned throughout it. All seem to be willing to
entrust the honor of the county in the hands of
the AA’alton Infantry. Perhaps no A’olunteer
Company in the Confederate States is better
officered, and, in ten days more they will have
everything necessary for the field. Will not other
A’oiunteer Companies do likexxise, and, in that
case, there would not be much delay in the equip
ment of them, when ordered into service?
The people of Walton commend Capt. Ander
son’s Company to Gov. Broxvn. AVherever In
fantry is needed for active service, no better
selection couid be made.

To his Excellency, Joseph E. Broicn, Milled get ille,

New Orleans, May 10, 1SG1.—ilIaj-
Robert Anderson, late of Fort Sumter, S.
C.: Sib—You hold my three notes for
4,500 each, with about one thousand ac
cumulated interest, all due in the month
of March, 1SG2; which notes were given
in part payment of twenty-nine negroes,
purchased of you in March, 1S60. As I
consider “fair play a jewel,” I take this
method of iuforming yon that I will not
pay those notes; hut, as I neither ask nor
seek an advantage, I desire that you re
turn me the notes and the money paid
you, and the negroes, which you xvill find
much improved by .kind treatment since
they came info my possession, shall he
subject to j our order.
1 feel justified in giving you, and the
public, this notice, as I do not consider it
fair play that I should be held to pay for
the property yon so opportunely dispos
sessed yourself of, and noxv seek to destroy
both their value and usefulness to me. I
ask no more than to cancel the sale, re
store to you yonr property, and let each
assume his original position, then your
present efforts may be considered less sel
fish, because at your expense, not mine.
JOHN G. COCKS.
He xvlio is passionate and hasty is gen
erally honest. It is your old dissembling
hypocrite of whom you should beware.
There is no deception in a bull-dog. It is
only the cur that sneaks up and bites you
when your hack is turned.
lion. Daniel S. Dickinson, ofNew York,
in a recent letter, denies liax’ing asserted
that lie “xvould xvipe the South from the
face of the earth.” He believes, however,
that the South has chosen the xvrong xvay
to redress her wrongs if she has any.
The London Herald says if cotton is not
to he got by fair means, we must not scru
ple to use foul means, or tlie dafily bread
of four or five millions of the xvorking pop

DETAILS OF HIE OCCUPATION OF ALEX
ANDRIA.
RiebtaonJ, May 25th.—Forty mounted men in
the service of A’irginia, under command of Capt.
Ball were taken prisoners at Alexandria yesterday
morning. Having Ind timely warning, it is snp-
posed that Ball surrendered intentionally. Mr.
Jackson, the proprietor of the hotel, was asleep
when Colonel Ellsworth entered aud tore down
the Confederate flag which was prominently dis
played from the hotel. Awakened by the noise,
Jackson sprang to his feet and shot Ellsworth
throngh the heart with a donble barrelled gun.
Jackson was immediately riddled by the bullets of
the Zouaves. After his death his body was hack
ed by bayonets. After the train had left with Col
onel Lerrett’s command, five hundred Zouaves
tore up the railroad track. The railroad bridge
was burned by tlie Virginians The telegraph of
fice was taken possession of by the Federal forces
—the operators having succeeded in effecting their
escape xvith their instruments. The Federal troops
lauded from steamers. One Company of flying
Artillery and Cavalry came over by bridge. Our
sentinels along the river fired upon the steamers,
and the fire xvas returned by them All onr troops,
with the exception of Capt Ball’s Company, es
caped in safety. Ail persons xvho desired, xvere
permitted to leave toxvn. General Lee considers
Alexandria indefensible. Should the Federal
troops adx'ance, the first battle xvill take place at
Manasses Juuction, as our troops will not retreat
further. General Bonham has been abundantly
reinforced, aud is fully prepared. The Carolini
ans have the post of honor, and xvill maintain their
ground at all hazards.
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS OCCUPIED.
AVasliington May 25.—The Seventh Regiment
have occupied Arlington Heights, aod the Sixty-
ninth are throwing up breast xvorks there. Forty-
five ot the A’irgiuia Cavalry surrendered, finding
themselves at the mouth of the guns.
STEAMER INJURED.
AVasliington May 25.—The steamer Mount
A'ernon nearly sunk before reaching Alexandria.
It is supposed she was secretly injured at the
Navy Yard.
SCHOONERS CAPTURED.
New Orleans, May 25.—Two schooners have
been captured by privat. er steamer Calhoun.
The New Postal Arrangements.—The
Montgomery Advertiser of May 17 th,
speaking of the Confederate Postal Ser
vice, says rt^The law which goes into op
eration on the first proximo requires pre
payment iu money until the necessary
stamps and stamped envelopes can be pro
cured at the rate of five cents per letter

five hundred miles, double these rates.
Advertised letters xvill be charged two
cents in addition to the regular postage.
All drop letters and letters placed in
tlie ofiice for delivery only xvill Le

lars and other printed transient matter,
placed in the ofiice for delivery only, xvill
be charged one cent. Tlie postage on
xveckly ncxvspapers within the Confed
erate States xvill be ten cents per quar
ter; lor a paper published six times per

lished quarterly or bi-monthly will be

ces of publication one copy of each publi
cation free of postage.
Mayor Broxvn has made a report to tlie
Legislature of Maryland concerning the
burning of tlie Railroad bridges in xvhich
lie distinctly affirms and prox-cs that Hicks
gave the order for destruction of the bridges.
The traitor Governor is branded with an
ugly little epithet. But xvliat cares he for
that? He is past feeling any thing but a

applied.
Proclamation.
To the People of the Confederate Stales:
AVhen a people who recognize their depend
ence upon God, feel themselves surrounded by
peril and difficulty, it becomes them to humble
themselves under the dispensation of Divine
Providence, to recognize His righteous govern
ment, to acknoxvledge His goodness in times past,
and suppiicate His merciful protection for the
future.
The manifest proofs of the Divine Blessing hith
erto extended to the efforts of the people of the
Confederate States of America to maintain and
perpetuate public iibeity. individual rights and
natiou independence, demand their devout and
heartfelt gratitude. It becomes them to give
public manifestation of this gratitude, and of
their dependence upon the Judge of all the Earth,
and to invoke the continuance of His favor.—
Knowing that none but a just and righteous cause
can gain the Divine favor, xve would implore the
Lord of Hosts to guide and direct our policy iu
the paths of right, duty, justice and mercy, to
unite our hearts and our efforts for the defence of
our dearest rights; to strengthen onr weakness;
crown our arms with success, and enable us to
secure a speedy, just and honorable peace.
To these ends, and in conformity with the re
quest of Congress, I invite the people of the Con
federate States to the observance ot a day of fast
ing aud prayer, by such religious services as may
be suitable for the occasion, and I recommend
Thursday, the 13th day of June next, for that
purpose; aud that xve may all on that day, with
one accord, join in humble and reverential ap
proach to Him in whose hands we are, invoking
Him to inspire ns xvith a proper spirit and temper
of heart and mind to bear our evils, to bless us
xvith His favor and protection, and to bestoxv His
gracious benediction upon our Government and
country.

The subjoined, from the Lowell Courier,
is a good illustration of the anxiety of the
people everywhere to obtain information
about the Stirling events of the day;
“In a small toxvn in Vermont about six
or seven miles Irom a railroad route the
people are favored with a tri-wecklv mail.
One gentleman is a subscriber to a daily
paper, and np to within three weeks was
satisfied for it to come by mail, receiving
a double dose each time, not so hoxvever,
since fhe xvar broke out, for his neighbors
have x'olunteercd to go every morning in
turn, to the postoffice, at the railroad sta
tion, and get the sheet, and when the
welcome messenger returns the whole
neighborhood,for txvo or three miles .around,
are assembled at the toxvn house xvherc the
clergyman reads aloud the contents. A lady
who came from there last week, says that
the toxvn house is crowded every evening,
and the greatest interest is manifested by
old and young until the xvhole paper is
read.”
It is related that a wealthy American
couple just arrixed in Paris and desiring
to circulate in good society, sent out txvo
