Tuesday Morning, August 27, 1861. The ISnnliM nn«] th«* C'riwi*. Tli» Chronicle A Sentinel in an article under tie above head, makes a desperate attempt to zzali for the Bank«, bnt makes a decided fail a We should think it was a very unpropitions time to shout for the banks, when not one of then pretend to redeem their promises to pay, and m an cannot pass through Augusta without having & contemptible shin plaster thrust into his face If a traveler buys a ticket at the Railroad office, mid offers a Note of one of these detestable banks for pay- he is told he must make his own change or be taxed from 10 to 25 per cent, on his money Xhese are the glorious fruits of the banks, they refute to redeem their notes according to promise. Mid then tax a man for not having the change, tl,r.s taking advantage of their own wrong. The Chronicle A Sentinel praises the banks for ex. changing their own notes without interest, for Confederate bonds at 8 per cent, interest. We should think such an arrangement was greatly ti :: eadvantage of the banks, when it is known that he banks do not pretend to redeem their notes ind it is very uncertain when they will redeem them, if-ever. The Chronicle A Sentinel says tha‘ denouncing the banks does not pay now. It nev er did pay, and that is perhaps the reason why many people never do denounce them, when the\ deserve it ever so much. The article of the Chron •tie A Sentinel very forcibly reminds ns of an ad venture of Dougald Dalgetta in the legend ot Montrose. Maj. Dalgetta was taken prisoner and put in a dungeon in a castle belonging to the Ifuke ot Argyle. Jn a little time after ho was locked up, his prison door was opened, and a gen tleman entered and beg"n to praise the Duke.and persuade Dalgetta to enter liis setvicc. Dalgetta heard him for a short time, and then gravely re marked, that he had traveled much, and seen a preat many men, but had never heard one praise the Duke of Argyle before, and he strongly sus peeled he must be the Dnko himself or some ot i.u near relations. We strongly suspect that the writer of the article in the Chronicle A Sentinel must be very intimately connected with a bank himself, for we have seen a great many men with- it the last six months, and don’t remember to ave beard any one praise the banks until we <aw that dry effort in the Chronicle A Sentinel. Is not the writer a bank man, or a very near re lative to one ? Ito*. Brown, never a favorite with the t'ot- itiriailK. We see it frequently announced with a bitter supercillio'-s sneer, that Gov. Drown was not the first choice of the Convention that nominated him; but was after a long contest among tho friends of several leading politicians, taken up as a compro mise candidate. This is true, and it speaks vol umes in favor of Gov. Drown. Ho was never a favorite of the politicians. He was not one of them, and could never be moulded and twisted and fashioned to suit them. He did not belong to an aristrocratic family, but was emphatically, and truly one of the people. Hence he was never t-'ie first choice of the politicians, but was taken up by them for the purpose of saving the Si^te in a very hard contest. He has always been a favorite "i:h the people, because they have always found him honest and faithful to their interests. In ev ery cjntest between Gov. Drown and the politi cians. and they have been many, and bitter, the people have always triumphantly sustained him ; *ul the sequel 1ms always proven as clear as a sun b ’.ni. that the Governorand the people were right, and the politicians wrong. We ask the honest voters of Georgia to look back and review the nu- m.rous conflicts between the Governor and the hanks and other monied corporations, and see if events have not shown that the Governor was right, and was in all of them the true friend of the people h ever there was a man in Georgia that deserved to called the Tribune of the people, that man is Joe Drown. He has manfully and faithfully food forth the champion of their rights, oft times against fearful odds, and frequently as his ene mies believed and hoped, at the risk of his own good name and fame. Hitherto the people have a.ways sustained him over the hea !s, and in spite the efforts of the politicians. And shall we now distrust the people of Georgia ? Never .' To be - tve that the people of this enlightened and pa triotic State, will throw away their faithful and "oil tried Governor, who lias always been found i° be the right man in the right place, and trust ’heir destinies, in these trying times, to some tool "■ the banks, selected by bank agents, and bank attorneys, is to believe them incapable of self-gov- ruinent. We believe the people of Georgia know ibeir own interest too well to commit political ‘aicide. They will support and sustain Governor Brown, not so much on his account, ns on their own. They want a man that can sustain the fman- c • credit of the State. Gov. Drown lias shown that he can do this, if any man can They want a ®»n who can, if necessary, rally the people of the whole State to defend the seaboard, Gov. Drown 1 ns the confidence of the people and can rally them •'“l provide for them better than any new and ""tried man. Knowing all of these things, we be. “v'e the people of Georgia will regard the safety 01 die Slate as of more importance than the ob- •ervance «,f any old rule made for tbo benefit of Politicians “A I.argr Con Trillion.” 1 nder this caption the Macon Telegraph of the -’tind mst. says : “We have no doubt but that the 1 ‘-invention at Milledgcvillc, on the lllli of Sep- •n»f. ®r Ifce wbr Gsr Hr*ITS, I TTn i, b< ‘ ha,’ “ as discharged his duty faithfully: and m circumstances, stood firmly by the a. ses of the people of Georgia, and sustained i_ i s against every encroachment.

Brown’s enemies, to gratify the ambition of some new man who wants the office, or to sustain i us tof, or wbi/h no provision was made either in the old constitution of the State, or the new con* stitution lately adopted. Only a little over one mont since, the people of Georgia at the ballot ox acknowledged that the usage was not bind ing. by adopting a constitution which makes the Jovernor eligible fora third term if elected bv the j people. •>. Gov. Drown has managed the finances of the State well, and has refused to permit politicians >r others, to pluuder-the State Treasury under the forms of law. Some persons who desired tore- •.eive special favors which were not granted them, or who desiied office and did not get it, are now 'pposed to Gov. Drown: but such men plead the usage as a reason why he should not be. re-elected, concealing from the people the true reason of their opposition. J. Governor Dro/vn’s course in connection with our federal policy and the war, has been bold, energetic and decided, and lias saved the State nillions of dollars, and, probably, hundreds of valuable lives. »>. Defore l*ort Pulaski had been occupied by tederal troops, and before Georgia bad acted, Gov. Drown risked every thing and boldly seized 'he Fort, and occupied it by Georgia troops. This imeiy net has kept the foot of the invader off the oil of Georgia. In the adjoining state of South Carolina, on one side, the federal troops got pos session of Fort Sumpter: and it cost a battle, and the expenditure of over a million of dollars, to get it back. In the state ot Florida, on the otherside. he federal troops got possession of For Pickens: md it has taken nearly ten thousand men to guard -hem, and has cost but little short of five millions t dollars, and we are not yet in persession of the t ort; while in Georgia half a regiment in Fort tilaSki, ho,ds it uuiotly, and defies Lincoln’s roops to attempt to enter. The Governor's worst enemies are compelled to admit that Georgia is indebted to him alone for her present proud posi tion in this respect, and that Lincoln’s troops .vould now, in all probability, be in tho Fort, and i large army of our forces lying around it at an immense cost, with a prospect of heavy loss of ife in retaking it. hut for his hold, decided,fearless action. 6. When tho property of citizens of Georgia was seized by the authorities of New York, Gov. Drown seized New York ships, and held them til) he compelled the authorities there to do justice to the citizens of Georgia, by returning the property which they had forcibly taken from them. 7. Soon after Georgia seceded, Gov. Drown went vigorously to work and purchased an3 brought into the State, saltpetre and sulphur enough to make several hundred tons of powder. The Confederate Government and the Govern ments of all the other States in the Confederacy taken together, have not done as much in secur ing powder material, as he has done. Without a supply of powder, we must have been conqueted : and without the material which Gov. Drown pur chased and turned over to the Confederacy, it would probably have been impossible to procure a supply. Tlie Governor’s bitterest enemy cannot deny the above fact. As a prominent member ot the Military Hoard of another State remarked a few days since, “the whole people of the Confed eracy owe him a debt of gratitude for bis iar-seeing wisdom in providing in advance of all others, a supply of powder material; without which the success of the Southern cause wouid have been an impossibility.” In addition to this, he laid in a supply of powder and lead amply sufficient for all the necessities of the State. 8. Gov. Drown has sent more troops into the Confederate service from Georgia, fully armed, equipped and accoutred, than have been sent in similar condition, from any other State in the Confederacy. It is a sourep of just pride to every Georgian who visits Virginia, to hear it remarked, as he frequently does, that the Georgia State troops have come to the field better provided for than those from any other State in the Confederacy. 9 As old party lines have been obliterated, and to prevent a revival of old party jealousies which would naturally spring up in the contest between new men seeking the office, things that are doing well enough should remaiu as they are till our troubles are over. 10. In this time of peril, when all we have is at stake, and we have a man at the helm who has so far carried the ship safely through the storm, the people of Georgia should, as the people of Ten nessee have done, refuse to change out of mere respect to ? usage an administration which has bjen eminently successful, for a new one which may be much worse, but which they cannot rea sonably hope will be better. At such a time, ckang r should not be made merely for the sake of change. 11. Governor Drown has been in the office now nearly four years—is well acquainted with the financial condition of the State, and with her mil tary affairs, and knows the practical workings of all the machinery of the Government; and it is impossible for any new man to take the position in the midst of the revolution and become as well ac quainted with these matters in six months, as Gov. | Down now is. For want of practical knowledge, i a new man might commit serious blunders, before | he could acquire it, which would result in the j greatest misfortunes to the State. 12. The defeat of Gov. Drown would be hailed j with gladness by the Lincoln Government, and all j the hosts of our Northern enemies, who hate him. on account of his bold defiance to their encroach- Tkr Militia. 1 VW" The following extract from a letter of a We call the attention of Ihe officers of tbo Mil- j prominent gentleman in Macon county to his itia to “General Orders, No. 13,” which will be j friend in this city, will shew the public sentiment found in our columns to-day.

Editors Southern Federal Union: 1 have been informed by the “Soldier’s Relief Sock ty” of Milledgeville, that they are now fully prepared to furnish to the volunteer companies of Baldwin County, conts, pants, shirts, drawers and socks, they have also kindly authorized me to call on them, at any time, for needed clothing for ray company; and assure me that“our soldiers slinll suffer for nothing that willing hearts and ready hands can supply.” It is with sincere gratitude that we acknowledge this favor. Those who are so faithful iu llu-ir efforts to provide for our army, merit the highest praise. We owe much of our comfort, in camps, at this time, to their benevolence. Its sunshine .-till cheers Mi in our toils and privations; bringing to mind pleasant associa tions oftlie past, and encouraging hopes of the future. Their virtues shall prompt us to a faithful discharge of onr duty. If we meet the enemy in battle he shall feel the impress of their patriotism. They are therefore aiding to fight our battles, at the same time that they are providing for the comfort of our soldiers. With out their co-operation our army could not he sustained in the field; it is therefore essential to our success;and hence, if victory crowns us, they shall share equally its honors. May kind Providence sustain them in their noble efforts for the advancement of our nationality.- We tender to the ladies of the “Soldiers Relief Socie ty” of Milledgeville the earnest thanks that flow from full hearts.

Dulica anil Cnpnritir* of the Mlntc Govern* rarnl. We commend to the attention of the people of Georgia an article under the above caption, taken from the Mississippian.

The plan proposed by Governor Brown is probably better than the one suggested hy the correspondent of the Mississip pian. The Clerks of the Superior Courts in each county will be as convenient an agent as can be selected to receive the bounties of tho people and report them to the Governor, who will send them to the Volunteers. We thank our little friend Johnny Chand ler for the fine watermelons he brought us. It was the first present of the kind that we have re ceived this season. There is nothing lost, Johnny, by being kind to tlie printers : they have hearts to appreciate kindnesses; and are fond of some- ng nice to eat, notwitbstandingsome folks think they ought not have anything to eat, or anything to wear, and be perfectly happy and good natured all the time, becanse “it is more blessed to give than receive.” whole Regiment yields them the palm Col. Doles, their quondam Captain, has the confidence of the entire Regiment as to competency, and bravery as an officer. When on duty he is strict almost to a fault, if such a thing can be During the hours of relaxation he is quite sociable, visit ing and receiving visits from the officers and pri vates of the Regiment, visiting flic sick, Jtc., Ac. He seldom retires till I! A. M . and not then till he has personally inspected the police and picket guards, and seen all prepared for a quiet rest or an unexpected surprise. His office is laborious and responsible. Nothing gratifies him more than a visit from his home friends. He is doubly pleased to have Indies visit his camps, but thinks the wives of the officers and privates should not do so, as their presence would seriously interfere with sterner duties. Any lady may visit the camps without fearing to see or hear anything in delicate or offensive. Oh. no ! Southern soldiers never insult or offend a lady. Capt. Caraker performs his duties with punctil ious regard to military discipline, aud when his deep toned voice speaks, “steady Blues,” the alac rity with which he is obeyed is complimentary to him as an officer, and highly commendatory to that spirit of subordination in tlie ranks, which is ever the mark of the soldier. Lieut McComb performs his duties admirably well. His good humor and kindness of heart have made him a general favorite. Lieutenants Walker and Fair, each, creditably sustain their respective positions. Tlie non-cemmissioned officers and privates gen erally are gentlemanly, courteous, aud kind.

It would amuse you to see the eagerness with which the boys, who used to sport in our streets, nothing less than a “2 40 nag”, now mount a dump cart and willingly pay a quarter for a ride to Cra- ney Island, distant 31 miles; and which they reach in one hour if the harness don’t separate, the cart turn over or the mule give out. The wri ter of this assures you. that these same dump carts are a “great institution” in Virginia. I presume tho whole outfit of oue of them including the “equine appendage^’’ would be valued by disinter ested appraisers at eighteen dollars thirty seven cents and five mills Federal currency. I will now close promising if l find time to give you another letter. L. f 0COTTRBORO' AID SOCIETY.

More than two hun dred garments, amounting in value to about two hundred and forty dollars, have, according to in structions. been deposited with Mr. Stubbs. B sides these, as may be seen by referring to the published receipts of the President, a number of articles have been sent to the Ladies Relief Socie ty of Milledgeville. Volunteers from this county have multiplied so rapidly, that after some little discussion, this So ciety decided a-few weeks since to assist the Mil ledgeville Society to provide clothing for them, resolving, however, to retain its ide.nty. The ladies tire willing to ply their energies in making up such articles as shall protect our soldiers from the rigours of the climate to which they have gone for the purpose of driving from our borders a cruel, barbarous, invading foe. The health and coinfort of these soldiers should be cared for. In addition to other warm apparel, they will need comfortable overcoats.

Atlanta, Ga., 17th August, 1861. I perceive by a communication in the Constitu tionalist, that a public meeting of the citizens of Newton county, held at Covington the 6th inst., did me the honor to place me in nomination for the office of Governor of the State of Georgia, at the aproaching election. I have occasionally seen, within two or three months past, in the gazettes of the State, anonymous articles suggesting the same thing, but regarding them only as the ex pressed preference of a few partial friends, not iike'.y to induce concerted action. I did not feel called on to reply. But now, that a public meeting of my fellow- citizens, assuming to speak for one ot the most respectable, influential counties of Middle Geor gia, have formally nominated me, and asked foi me the suffrages of the whole people, continued silence on my part will probably be construed in- to acquiescence in a candidacy. Fully appreci ating the distinguished honor with which that of flee invests its incumbent, and profoundly grateful to those who have adjudged to me worthy of it 1 nm*l, novortl»<iI6ei», rctiro from the position in which they have placed me. It is due to those valued friends that I should not thus thwart their purpose, without assigning a reason for so doing. To say that I do not desire the office, and that there are probably others who would less reluctantly and more worthily fill it, would, I think, entitle me to their indulgence. But I stop not there. The names of many dis tinguisbed Georgians have been proposed by their friends, for the same office—so many that the pub lic mind is really embarrassed, distracted. It is rery desirable, in the present condition of public iffairs, that there should be no heated contest for office—as little division among our people ns pos ble - The great struggle for independence, in which we are now engaged, should compose all strifes, unite all hearts.coucentrate in one locus all minds. But how are we to escape from the dilemma in this election/ A Convention, without a distinc tion of old parties, is proposed. Bat it is appar- nt that many are opposed to this measure, aud there is a doubt whether it will give general satis faction. I sincerely hope that in this or some oth r way, public opinion may be concentrated upon some worthy citizen, who, on taking the oath of office, shall look neither upon vanquished oppo nent nor disaffected voter. I verily believe that the best service I can render in the piemises, is the unqualified withdrawal of my name from the long list of the proposed. This is not ali. If my services, in the position I now- occupy, have not been acceptable to my fellow-citizens, there is little hope that I could make them so iu the higher one just alluded to.— If they have b-en so, 1 respectfully submit that frequent changes on tho bench of the Supreme Court ought, as a matter of State policy, to be avoided There ought to be p more pressing ne cessity than can exist ill this case, to justify the transfer of a fudge, against his will, to a higher position. All will be charitable and just euougli to understand me, not as assuming that the people desire thus to transfer me. but as addressing those who propose to attempt the transfer. The term for which I was elected has nearly ex pired If it be the pleasure of the appointing pow er to renew my commission, so let it oe. If not, it is better that I return to the retirement whence I came to the bench. 1 have frankly stated my opinions, and my wishes, and am certain I shall not in vain, ask my worthy friends of Newton county, and others elsewhere, to let my name dis appear entirely from the competition tor nomina tion and for election to the Executive Chair.

(Not designated.) — Patriotic.—A gentleman from Deeatnr, Alabama, informs the Xashville Patriot that lie saw at that place four young men, from Lauderdnle county, on their way to Virginia to join the 4th Alabama Regiment. Each one hail a brother killed in the battle of Manas sas, aud each one went to take his dead brotuer’s place in the ranks. A nation represented by such men as these cannot be conquered. Menacing Hostility of the English Oovernment and Press towards the United States.—The New York Herald, of Friday las', has an editorial with tbe above captions, of wbieu the following is the conclusion: We learn by this arrival that Kingston, in Can ada, is to be made a naval as well as a mili’ary station, aud that a naval force is to be stationed on the lakes. Does this look like neutrality/ We further learn that the English Government has sent out reinforcements to her already immense fleet npon our coast, numbering some thirty ships —two of them ships-of-the-liue, DO guns; several of them frigates, and most of them armed with the powerful Armstrong cannon. The whole number of guns is now about 5011—a force, con sidering the quality of tbe ships and armament, more than sufficient to break the blockade iu every port, and sink our whole fleet. Thanks to the imbecility of the Navy Department at Washing ton. Then there is the powerful French squadron here, which we arc assured will co operate with the English, because the exports of France in wine and other articles have fallen oil’ more than one- b-ilf in consequence of the interruption ot the American trade by tlie war and because, with out the tobacco which French agents are now buying up in Virginia, the whole financial system of the French Government would be deranged—a vast propotion of its income beiug derived from tin- duty ou that article. We are informed by Lord Palmerston's organ that a perfect understanding on the subject has been arrived at as to the com bined action of the two Governments towards that of America, and that “this co-operation is (o be prosecuted on both sea and l ir,d." Yet we do not believe the Emperor of the French will take any step hostile or injurious to us, unless the English Government leads the way. Miould England enter npon such a dangerous career, she will rue the day-t hat her rulers have committed her to a deadly struggle with this young giant Republio. CAPTURE OF FEDERAL CAVALRY. Richmond, Aug. 22.—The Washington corres pondent ot the Baltimore Exchange, says that two squadrons of Federal Cavalry were captured by the Confederates some days ago, within two miles of Alexandria. New York, Aug. 22.—The New York Tribune says that private advices liave been received here from Kentucky- which say that the Union men in that State are rapidly receiving their arms. Four or five regiments are now ready for service. FOREIGN INTERVENTION IN AMERICAN AFFAIRS. Washington, Aug. 22d.—Intelligence has been received here of the inteniion of England. France, ami .-pain, to actively interfere in Mexican affairs. It is also stated that the action of these Govern- meats isentended to embrace in some shape, the recognization of the Southern Confederacy, if the assuiance can be had that the South will not at tempt any conquest in the direction of Mexico. NEW YORK AFFAIRS. New York. August 23.—Tho steamer North Star has arrived. George Miles, of Petersburg, and John Garnet Guthrie, of Richmond, collecting agents for to bacco houses, have been arrested and sent to Fort Lafayette. Guthrie is a heavy dealer, and has heavy con signments in New York, Philadelphia, and Haiti more. Heraised §114,1160 on shipments, which through friends and agents, he invested in Con federate and and Southern States’ bands. Miles was agent tor .Tames: Thomas, and had collected $25,008. He had also made a liberal in vestment in Confederate bonds. About $175,000 was recovered from Guthrie and Miles, principally in bonds and sight drafts, Virginia paper money, and $1,000 in gold. A number of letters addressed to persons in the Southern States, were found upon their persons. New York, Aug. 23.—The Washington corres pondent of the Tribune says tlie Provost Marshal flatly refused a pass to Mr. Russell to cross the Potomac. Washington. Aug. 23.—It is rumored that the New York Daily News, and tbe Day Book, are to be suppressed by the Government. It is intimated that tbe Government will no longer allow Kentucky to remain neutral. Potnh r and Tjcad in Xorth Carolina.— We learn from tlie Raleigh Journal that Gov. Clark recently ordered Professor Emmons on an exploring tour, with a view to ascertain whether and where a supply of lead and the essential elements of pow der, suited to the present exigencies could be obtained ; and the result is most cheer ing. Prof. Emmons reports that he is ful ly satisfied that enough oftlie munitions of war can be obtained to slioot all the Yankees and tyrants in the world. In view of this, so satisfactory are the pros pects, that a company has already com menced, or will soon commence, the erec tion of a powder mill at a suitable point in North Carolina, Gov. Clark having contracted for a large quantity of powder at a fixed price. MUSIC DEPARTMENT Of Washington Institute, i.mo>. Hancock cer.vTt. oa. Thii Vile Wnr ! We give the following from the Concord (N. II ) Standard of the 3rd, as the article which caused that paper to be mobbed : ‘Men of New England! Iris a war waged against your interests, your pockets, your future prosperity: the welfare of your families, the fn tore ot your wives and little children. The sad loss of life at Bull Run—nay the thousands ot brave heaits which are yet to be sacrificed, it Black Republican demagogues and treasury plun derers are permitted to carry out tht ir programme of blood—are but as a feather m the balance when weighed against the demoralization, the prostra tion, the. crushing destruction, which this infernal war will surely bring upon every New England home. Fathers I God protect your dear wives aud helpless children who will have to suffer most from this infamous, fratricidal war. Rich men—those who are reputed to be such Where is your fancied wealth ? Y\ hat is your real estate worth, to-day ? Where can you find a purchaser for it. at anything like its cost. ? Where can you find one at any price / Will your in comes pay insurance and taxes, if tins miserable war continues until next May ? Men of moderate means. Where is your in come to-day ? What store keeper in Concord has made enough for the past fortnight to pay his bus iness expenses, to say nothing of those of his fam ily ? Have your profits paid the grocer, tlie baker, the butcher / If they have, then the deserted streets of this city, for the past fourteen days, have lied, and yet you have only begun to get a peep at the beginning of the end. If this cursed, nigger war continues auother twelvemonth, grass will grow in Main Street. Even the government tax- gathers will not be able to tread it down, for by that time, may be, you will have ceased to be able to pay their demands, and their occupation will be gone. You must then repudiate, willing or unwilling. Mechanics 1 You like to read about the war, per haps. in the unreliable sensation city press. You would have rejoiced over a different result at Bull Run—exulted at a successful northern forward march to Richmond. But reflect a moment, se riously—reflect I Would that have done more than gratify your sectional pride, or political ani mosity / Would it have tended to revive your crippled business / Would it lmve ensured to you better wages for the coming fall and winter, fuel for your firesides, food and raiment for your loved ones ? Think seriously about this. Look at the taxes which this damnable war is daily piliug upon your shoulders—count the figures— mark tlie plunderers who have plunged their arms to their pits in the public treasury, while our sol diers starve and go almost naked—count the cost, if you know how to do sums in simple addition—and then answer, how long do you expect to stand it! Will it pay ? Poor men—you who depend on your daily labor for your support, God help you I We feel for you. because we are one of you. Where do we find our dollar a day now, unless we enlist as officers for this plundering war ? Where shall we find our shilling a day if it conlinues six months longpr, when the frosts and snows of another winter fall around us and our families? In this city, not a day has passed for the last week but what the family of tli" writer of this ar ticle has been called on to give bread to famishing children—on two occasions to honest appearing, grown men, out of work and without a cent. They would be glad to labor, but they cannot find a chance in the present general stagnation.*— Where are our charitable associations? Let them arouse themselves—nay, even now at midsummer, when poverty never before asked alms in Concord This crying shame—one of the results of this Devil’s war—has got to be met This money which has been contributed for tracts which they will never read—the liberal eontribu'ions which have been made for under-clothing, for havelocks, for lint which cowardly, run away surgeons didn’t stop to use at Centreville—all these contributions must soon be made over and over again, ten times and ten times ten times, for the benefit of our suf fering poor. Again we say, God help them, for our city and town authorities don’t do it. Already the alms houses are not large enough.” Lithographic -Stone.—A short time since tlie Charleston Courier made inquiries concerning the Lithographic Stone, a quarry of which, it says, was opened some years ago in Alabama, asking whether it had been worked, and if the stone was now to be procured in tlie market. In answer to these inquiries, a friend informs us that a quarry was opened some years since on the land of Dr. Henry McKenzie, of Talladega county, and that the stone obtained was pronounced equal to the best lithographic stone in use. We ptesutne tlie quarry has not been worked recently as the busi ness of lithographing has been left almost entirely to the Yankees, but under present circumstance we have no doubt the owner of the quarry would find it greatly to his advantage to re-open it and bring the stone into market. We are informed that it can easily be obtained in large quantities. —Montgomery (Ahi ) Adcertiser, August 1!).7». The Habeas Corpus in Washington. —A writ of hub can corpus was applied for in Washington on Tuesday last and issued by Judge Wayne, of the United States Supreme Court, directing Colonel Gorman, of the 1st Minnesota reginTent, to produce the body of a certain Stevens, a soldier of his regiment. It appears that the men of this regiment originally en listed for three months, aud about three hundred of them are determined to resist the attempt made to detain them for three years. The Deputy Marshal who served the writ made his return to the Court, and stated that the officer refused to obey the writ and cursed and swore roundly, dam ning the courts and all civil authorities. An attachment was issued by Judge Wayne, the result of which was, that Col. Gorman made his appearence with the sol dier. The New York Express, in an article on the of ficial report of the battle of Manassas, remarks : The more we hear of the conJuctof some of our officers ami men at Bull Run, the more we are in clined to let the curtain drop on the whole affair, and cry out with the Thane of Cawdor, "Bring in no more reports.” **»#»» With disclosure of this discreditable character crowding upon us, we think the reader will sym pathize with the wish we have already expressed that Bull Run should drop as soon as possible into oblivion. The country has heard enough of it. “Bring in no more reports.” An “Efficient" Blockade.—The brig Santa Clara, captured by the Jeff Davis, arrived in our port yesterday morning, in charge ol Capt. Stone, prize master. She was at the time of her capture, bound from New York from Forto Rico. Her cargo consists of 201 hogsheads and 75 barrels of suguar, and 40 hogsheads of molasses Hurrah for Abraham’s blockade!—Sac. News, 2iW. It appears bytbe examination of the two Volunteer bills that the President has power to call l,(MX*,000 men intothe field, although that extent of authority was not, it is believed, designated. The express states that Mr Greely, of the Tribune, has been very ill of bruin fever, but is now recover- ering. A voice from Long Island.—We find the follow ing cnmmuncation from Long Island in the New York News: I he battle of Bull Run lias its effect in the North for peace, if I may judge other coun ties by old Suffolk. The Democracy of old Suffolk are working man fully against this inhuman, political war, this war to break up the Union, to trample our once glori ous Constitution underfoot.
