GEORGIA REGULARS.
This Regiment is commanded by Col. Charles J. Williams, and lias been stationed at Fort
Pulaski, and Tvbee, until reoentlv, when it was ordered to Virginia by the Secretary of War.
INDEPENDENT REGIMENTS.
Under an act of Congress, President Davis has accepted a number of companies from Georgia,
which have been formed into Regiments. The organization of the latter has not been reported to
the Stale Executive, and therefore the officers cannot be ascertained from the Adjutant General's of
fice. The Regiments are generally known, however, as Bartow’s, Conner’s, McLaws’, Printup’s and
Ector’s, the latter being called the Toombs Regiment. In addition to these, there will soon be in
the field, T. R. S. Cobb’s Legion, Gov. Cobb’s Regiment, and several others now in process of forma
tion. Gen. Phillips’ Brigade has been several weeks in camp of inst ruction near Marietta, and is
soon to receive marching orders. All these show a force of about 25,000 men which Georgia has fur
nished the Confederate States, and more than double this number ran be; raised when necessary.
The roll of officers in this Table is believed to be accurate; but it is possible that a few errors may
be found where the examination was so extensive, amid entries made with great rapidity, to keep
the record of commissions issued nince the war co mmenced If any errors are perceived, they will of
course be corrected on notice of the fact. Officers are sometimes chan; (fid by promotion, which cir

Cheerful luteligeuce.
An enterprising editor of a leatling'Cin-
ciniigtti paper having “caught'’ a stranger
“just from New Orleans.” obtained cheer
ful inteligence, and which we hope will
assist the Porkers of Ohio to digest Manas
sas:
Information ah out the Corfederate* at
Xcic Orleans— What they are doing and
how they Feel.
We had a conversation yesterday with a
gentleman just from New Orleans, and
who had been residing there for the past
month; and as it is well for the people of
the North to undetstand what the enemy
are doing, and what are their feelings and
expectations, wc give the substance of the
information communicated to us by our
visitor; who, it is proper to say, is a for
eigner of intelligence, who has spent the
most of liis life in the military service of
hij own country.
The most unbounded enthusiasm pre
vails at New Orleans and the whole coun
try thereabouts. They have not the re
motest idea of being conquered, and regard
the establishment of their independence
as sure of accomplishment. Their ma
chine shops and founderies are producing
an abundance of arms and cannon. Some
of the finest rifled brass pieces he has yet
seen he saw at the New Orleans work, and
had no idea they could produce such.
They are building several gun-boats,
one of which—the largest—was nearly
finished when he left, it is made out of
the tow-boat Whitney, a Baltimore built
sea vessel, drawing twelve feet and hav
ing two propellers. The sides ot this boat
have been cased with six-inch plate iron,
and the bulwarks guarded by double-lap
ped railroad iron bars lt has several
water-tight bulkheads, so that the pier
cing of one will not cause the vessel to
sink. Its prow is a projection of solid
iron. Its propelling power is two powerful
engines, and the object ot the vessel is to
run down the Brooklyn, now blockading
the mouth of the Mississippi. The French
Government has war vessels ot the same
kind, built as strongly as iron and wood
can make them, with powerful engines,
made to resist shot and shell, and to sink
vessels by running against them with all
the force at command- That is the way
it is intended to operate with this vessel.
Gun boats constructed after the same style,
but of lighter drought, are being built to
operate as far up as Memphis.
Four thousand troops had Iftft New Or
leans a short time before our informant,
for Arkansas, to join Ben McCulloch s
division of the Confederate Army. In
Ncyv Orleans everybody seemed to belong
to a military company, and the companiss
to be constantly drilling. As for provis
ions. there is an abundance of them. The
crops of Texas, it is as estimated, will be
sufficient of themselves to feed the whole
Confederate States.for two years. Such
crops Yvere never before known in that re-
gien.
All along the railroad from New Orleans
to Memphis, the same enthusiasm and ac
tivity prevails. There are large bodies
of troops near Memphis. One thing was
noticeable, they believed that the Confed
erate troops were every where whipping
those of the North, and readily 6wailowed
every Munchausen story about the success
aud prowess of their own men. 1 he fab
ulous story about the annihilation of Col.
Siger’s division, in Missouri, was in every
body’s mouth, and caused unbounded re-
joiciDg. i
Do Goon.—Thousands of men breathe,
move and live—pass off the stage of life and
are heard of no more. W by ? They do not a
particle of good in the world, and none are
blessed by them, none could point to them
as the instrument of their redemtion; not
a word they spoke could be recalled, and
so they perish; their light went on in dark
ness, and they were not remembered more
than the insect of yesterday. Will you
thus live and die, Oh! man immortal? Live
for something. Do good and leave behind
you a monument of virtue that the storm
of time can neY’er destroy. Write your
name in kindnes, love, and mercy, on the
hearts of thousands you come in contact
with year by year; you will never be for
gotten. No; your name, your deeds will
be as legible on the hearts you leave be
hind as the stars on the brow of evening.
Good deeds will shine as the stars of heav
en.— Hr. Chalmeri.

Fruit Growing Resource* of Georgia.
Mr. Editor:—In one of our last conversations
you were kind enough to express the wish that I
should “put on paper and enlarge” some of my
general remarks about the fruit-growing capaci
ties of our State in particular, which remarks
must necessarily extend to cur sister States of the
great South.
I now comply with your desire, giving you my
views about the facilities of our soil and climate
for the production of fruits and wines, as com
pared to similar products of other countries.
Deeply impressed with the necessity of relying
upon uur own resourcts to secure our indepen
dence, » can only join niy feeble voice to the
eloquent entreaties of the advocates of Southern
industry and progress. Agriculture is at the bot
tom of all humau pursuits, and, in this important
branch a rapid and almost unanimous improve
ment has taken place. Onr factories, our stock-
breeding, our shipping interests, have felt the im
pulse, and will soon, I trust, show to the world
that a natiou fighting for its sacred rights and inde
pendence, is worthy of them, when it can sustain
them by its institutions, its energy, and the de
velopment of its immense resources, without
which independence should only prove to be a vain
word.
It is a fact obvious to all, that we are paying
large sums for articles which we can produce with
in our borders, for products often inferior in qual
ity or badly adulterated, and in all cases, costing
vastly more than home products. It is not so
runcli the number of inhabitants that makes
nations rich, as the facilities afforded by a good
soil, a genial climate, energy and activity.
France, with a territory only three limes larger
than Georgia, supplies the world with her silks
and wines chiefly. Why Bhould Georgia not pro
duce wine enough to supply her own wants—
fruits, dried or preserved, euougli to be indepen
dent of foreigu markets ? With an area of
50,000 square miles, extending from the warm
and fertile sea-shores to the cool regions of the
Habersham ridge, every product of the field, gar
den or orchard, can be successfully grown. We
want other things than cotton, com and hogs ; we
can get them. Why remain tributaries of other
distant nations for 6Uch things as meat, coru,
fruits, wines, cider, vinegar, braudies and pre
serves ? The present war is a great and power
ful lesson, aud will undoubtedly do more for the
South than a score of years of undisturbed pros
perity.
Tens of thousands of acres, unfit for the pro
duction of the great staples of cotton and com,
can be successfully, aud with little trouble and
expense, converted into vineyards or orchards.
Sandy scrub-oak hillsides, where nothing grows
but scrub-oaks and pines, are better fitted for the
production of wine than the bare hills of Vouvray
or the desolate barrens of the Ckampagnt-peuilltuse.
All around ns vineyards are progressing, and will
increase, ns soon as we shall have organized a
system of wine making, by association and con
currence of iudividual and isolated resources. To
explain this, we must cast a glance at the wine-
iiidustry of France and Germany, and by a ju
dicious comparison between populations rates of
labor, and local circumstances, show the possi-
bi.ity of attaining the same, if nnt more profita
ble results. FRUITLAND.
