A negro boy belong to Col. Grantland of this
county while bathing a few days ago was bitten
in the toot, by what is commonly called a water
Moccasin; and although whiskey and hartshorn
the approved remedies in such cases, were freely

I Moccasin is a poisonous reptile, as this case clearly

Lincoln’s Congress.
This body assembles at Vvaslnngton City on
Thursday next. It sessions will, it is said, be se
j cret. The organs of Lincoln have cut out the
j work for Congress, and according to their orders.
| it has only toappropiiate men and tn-mey then go
home. The Herald demands ot.O.tlOO men, ana
$•200 (Kill,00« of mon y. Easier said than done.
But it is a mistake to suppose that Congress wi I
adjourn in one or two days or even in a week
them with genuine enthusiasm when they march
ed off. They will go the entire way on horseback
This is the third Company which has left the
County to go into tin* service of the Country,
besides ‘25 or thirty men contiibuted to the reg.
ular Army. V\ ith a voting population of less
than b,>0, we have sent off near ’275 men, and if
necessary we can raise 2511 more. The Horse
Guards are well equipped, and under their gallant
i officers they will do soldiers’ duty. Our best
wish*** attend them wherever they may go. It
they do not get our paper regularly, we will thank
them to inform us of the fact.

(aPorgia Moldirra in Virginia.
A pleasing incident has been repotted to m»
by a reliable gentleman just f om Norfolk. Y r a
in relation the 4th Regiment of Georgia stationed
in that vicinity, which is in strong contrast with
the spirit of plunder, rapine ami violence, that
characterises the invading army near them at For
tress Monroe.
A farmer in the vicinltv of the Ith Regiment has
a large enclosure of cabbages and other flourish
itig vegetables of the largest size. He has also
a It* rd of swine, about "J'lO in number, of tin
most tempting fatness, roaming about the prent
ises of the camp. And yet he has not misse l a
solitary vegetable or pig since the Regiment has
been near him.
Tite reason is obvious. Onr Southern army,
officers and men, are gentlemen—many of them
Christian men—engaged in a righteous warfare
Let Ihe prayers of Christians constantly ascend to
the throne of grace, that God ntay cover tbp|r

ihe idea, that Gov B own has sent troops to the t
seat of war in Virginia without arms. This, to !
the best of onr knowledge and belief, is not true : |
tnd we call upon the editor of the Republican to !
show where it has occurred ki a single instance !
Every Company that the Governor has sent to
‘.’irginia, so far as we know, has been armed.
Vo reasonable man would expect him to arm i
l ose who leave the State without his anthori j
fy or consent. Not only has he. armed all of the
Tolunteers that he has sent, but at the request ot
he President he has sent arms, purchased by the
noney of Georgia, to arm some of the Voluuteers
•f Y irginia, and it ili becomes any of the people
of Y irginia to complain of Georgia on the score
if arms. Onr Governor has sent no men there
vithout arms. YY T e do not know who authorized
he editor of the Republican to act as attorney
tor Georgia in this case, but ti e fact of his

hardly be disputed that such will be the legal

A GROUNDLESS ALARM.
The Yen Constitution.
The Savannah Republican has raised a ground
lessalaim against the new Constitution on the
allegation that, failing to make specific provisions
for slave representation, it thereby abolishes it and
CStabfisl'ctV H purely white basis. Ar. fitst blush
we weie disposed to think the Republican’s al-
legatioif trite, and that a capital defect, had been
discovered in the new Constitution. YY’e certainly
"should not vote for it or advise others to do so il it
abolishes what *as known as tile "Federal basis.”
Such, however', is Hot the case. The Constitution
of the Confederate States, article 3, section. 2, pro
vides as follows:
3 Representatives and direct taxes shall he ap
pointed among (lie several States, w hicli may be
included within this Confederacy, according to
their respective numbers which shall be deter
mined by adding to the whole number of free per
sons, including tboSS bound to service for a term
of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-
fifths of alt slaves
This piovision clearly establishes what is ''repre
sent nt it c p. potation’ 7 in each and all tbe States
composing the Confed-rate States.
The Constitution of Georgia assume? that point
to he settled, and declares as follows:
S*-e. 3. I 'I’ln* House of Representative shall
be composed as follows : The thirty s* veil counties
having the iaigest representative population shall
have two Representatives each. Evely other
county shell have one Represeuiative. The de
signation of the counties having two Repiesenta-
tives shall he made by tiic General Assembly ini
mediately after tl e taking ot iarh census.
The term ‘representative population” used here can
have no other reference than to the respective popu
lation established by the Constitution ot the Confede
rate Stilt* s, for no where does the new State Consti
tution undertake to establish a “representative popula
tion” of its own. Both were assumed tube harmonious
as they wore tinder the Constitution of the United
Stntes.
YVe think, therefore, upon reflection, there is no
ground for the objection of the Republican or our
correspondent-
Another objection to the Constitution ist liat it fixes
no time for toe election of Governor, Members of As-
sembiy, ite. This has no force A separate ordiance
of the Convention, seep. 281 Journal, fixes all that,
and is as irrepealulde a* the Constitution itself.

teresting locnlitay at present, and promises to be so
for many weiks to come. It is unqu stionably des
tined to become the theatre of stirring events, ami a
few facts respecting its topography will not be without
interest. At tiie request of General Mansfield, how
ever, all correspondents refrain from indicating ex-
actly the position of our troops, lest the enemy inigot
profit by such statements, forthnnrgh mails are cutoff,
yet there is a direct communication with the South via
Huapet's Kerry. All the Northern news goes daily to
Kicuuurad and the entire South.
From the Chan* Bridge, which is three miles above
Geoigetou, to Alexendtia—a distance of about ten
miles—tbereis u continuous chain of hills half amileto
a mile aud a half back from tbe Potomac. Entrench
ments are thrown up quite a distance North of
Georgetown—across the river—and so at different
points below to Alexandria. The Chain Bridge, the
Aequeduct and especially the Long Bridge are very
stroll*!)- guarded, and every prominent hill is, or
soon will be. extended.
Arlington Height* are right opposite Georgetown,
nearly two mites beck from the river. Roach's
Spring, whieh is ft* quent'y sorkenof, is about two
mile* distant; South-west of the Lui g Brirge, a little off
fhe read to Fairfax Comt House Arlngun Bouse is
above fir* mil*.a North or North-sastof Alexandria.

her. To the sutj*-et of this notice she gave the
best advantages of education the country afford

Rev. Hope Hull in YVashington for a situation

I o Itis great penetration of character, powerful
energy, untiring perseverance and indomitable
will, united with strict integrity, Col. Carter’s
great success in life was owing. One of his trn
est and most prized enjoyments was his ability to
assist young nten honestly and industriously
struggling in rite beginning of life, arid he often
reteried to their success as a source ot gratifies
tion to him.
In his domestic relations he was much endeared
to Itis family. The unexampled devotion ■ f his
wife, children and servants during a protracted
illness showed their proper appreciation of bis
Kindm ss and care. About two years since he
connected himself with tiie Baptist Chutelt nnd
from that time no company was sir agreeable to
him ami more desired than ministers of that and
I other denominations. ’1 it“ loss of sight rendering
him unable to read, one of his chief eijoym nts
was to hear read, by bis pious and <l* voted wife.
I he Bible ami well written sermons. But ennuj>h
Having lived to an asre which f-w reach he hx.»
paid the d* bt ot nature, leaving bis Jrieuds not
