Siinnmer Kesorla. 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 atmosphere as are to be found North or .''outh. 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 :: 1 mt.-.ins of Georgia, will give a color to 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- . we advise them to go to the mountains of Vir- - ia.

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.

We are indebted to '^j^itant Gen. AA ayne for a translation oi the above article from the I rtreh. 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 : A good pniMT.

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. WALTON. The Truth Viudicatcd.

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 weighing not more than half an ounce, for any distance not exceding five hundred miles, and five cents additional for every half ounce or fraction of an ounce ; over 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 charged txvo cents; newspaper circu 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 xveek six times that amount, aud for other publications in proportion. Monthly maga zines weighing not more than one^ and a half ounces xvill be charged two and one half cents per quarter, and periodicals pub lished quarterly or bi-monthly will be charged txvo cents per ounce. Transient newspapers, pamphlets, periodicals, en gravings, &c., not exceeding three ounces in weight, and published xvithin the Con federate States, two cents. For all matter coming from beyond the Confederate States double postage xvill be charged. Publishers of newspapers are entitled to send and receive from their respective offi 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 rope, and xve trust that it xvill be soon be 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.

Washington, May 2otli.—Ells worth’s personal friends are deeply afflicted, liell* are ringing, buil dings craped aud tings at half-mast. The remains are lying in stateat the Navy Yard. Smith, who makes a joke of all his troub les, says, “the cook at his boarding house is so careless about separating the leathers from the chickens that he never eats xvith-, out feeling down in the mouth. 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 hundred cards of invitations to a dinner.
