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 cumstance i§ not slwsyn notified, to the Executive ACTS AND RESOLUTIONS of the Second Session of the PROVISIONAL CONGRESS OF THK CONFEDERATE KTATEN. 1861.

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. From the Field and Fireside. 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.
