But let ns Have the old Whig newspapers discovered that caucuses and Conventions are all right ! Or have they, like the Chronicle «5fc Sentinel, discovered that opposition to the banks don't pay now? Some of the old Whig papers, we admit, still profess to abhor Conventions. Tlie people will see how mt,cli their professions are worth, after the Convention meets. If they are governed by the action of the Convention, aud support its nomination, their for mer professions will sound like HCMHUi*. y / examine these old customs, these ancient tradi tions, and see what they amount to. There is no law, or Constitutional provision against electing a man Governor as often as the people please. They elect Judges attd Clerks, and Congressmen, and members of tlie legislature, repeatedly, and think they gain by electing a good man that lias been tried, over one that has never been tried, and they act wisely. Why then should they act differently in electing a Governor? If we will ex- nmine the history of the case, we shall discover the root of the matter. The Banks have had a great deal to do with tlie legislation of Georgia for the last forty years, and many, very many of the most active politicians have been ditectly, or in directly connected with the Banks, and they have ha 1 two objects, in establishing a custom among themselves, that no man should be elected Gov- er mr more than twice. One object was as we have said before, that as many of them as possible might have a chance to be Governor, and the other Wts, that if any Governor should ever presume to oppose tlie Banks in any of their schemes t<> fleece the people, and the people should sustain him. ovet their neighbor's ox, his wife, his man and maid servants, they commit adultery, they are idolatt rs, indeed they have violated every article of tiio decalogue, and stand before the nations ol the earth, disgraced and degraded beyond the level of the savages of the South Sea Islands is it not a blessed thought to the Christian man that be is no longer a citizen of such a Government ? 1 lie Yankee has no religion but trade, and no God but Gold. The Devil would not again off-r the Saviour of mankind the whole world if he would fall down aud worship him. He would claim the right to reserve the universal Yankee nation. In this people are to be found all meanness and rascal ity boiled down to an extract, pure and simple. Thanks be to tlie God that made us ; we sre no longer of them. Give us Mexican, give us Span ish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, any govern ment under the heavens in preference to the United States of America Let there be peace or sub jugation, whatever betide, before we would live as citizens in the same government with Abe Lincoln and his supporters, we would throw ourselves un der the protection of the “Digger Indians,” or beg abut among the Prairie dogs. A nation ot thieves is the old Uuited States ; aud if the law E’oSiticul ftninuirractN. that he might be got out of the way in spite of j could to-day reaclt the men in power, there would the pejple by means of this old custom. Let the j not be one to escape death, from Abe Lincoln down people of Georgia remember that this old custom, i to the Washington Star, the tail end ot nothing, is a creature of the politicians, and that the people | whittled down to a point, have never had anything to do with it. If the i people had wanted any such rule, they would j htve put it into their Constitution. But tlie peo-j Several Newspapers, and a large number of in- ple never wanted to be prevented from ejecting a !

Well Governor politicians an ! the bank men ; keep this in mind. These old traditions, and um.-ty customs which are conttary to reason and common sense, have always been used to corrupt and deceive the peo ple. When Christ came upon earth, the Jewish Nation had become very corrupt by means of their customs and traditions, and the Saviour to'.d t ie Scribes and Pharisees, that “they made void the law of God by their traditions.” But when he attempted to stem the tide of their old customs. « .

He expected them every mo ment, but they did not attack him. lie niter- wards learned from prison* rs. that the Germans knew that his army was divided and were aware of the advantage which this gave them, and some of their Generals wanted to fight.

A simple plan has been successfully tried in Miliedgeville for getting a box of religious read ing for the soloiers. whieh is now* noticed, in the hope that other communities will try the same ex periment. It was announced in the Church and at the Soldiers’ Prayer Meeting, that a box of -religious books was about to be made up for the aimv. All who had a testament, or small bible, religious bonks or tracks, *fct;., to spare, wi re invited to leave them at a particular store, for the box. The result is, we have made up, without any body's spending a dollar, a well filled box contain ing thiriy-oue testaments and bibles, one hundred and nineteen religious books, some three or tour hundred tracts, and forty-three miscellaneous Reviews. The box is now on its way to our Georgia Regiments. Almost every house among church going peepie, have some books in it that can be spared for so noble a purpose. Many a soldier iu bis times of leisure or of sickness will read the words ot truth and s iberneas,even tho’ he may have neglected them at home. The plan ot procuring religious books for the army, so suc cessful in Miliedgeville, is earnesiiy commended ro all our communities. Let notice be given in the Jliurches—a place be designated for leaving the books, and the books will come. Then l**t the box be forwarde 1 either to some particular Regi ment. or to the Editor of some religious newspa per, who will upon request, give it such a direc tion as will place it where it is needed.

A few days before our departure from Camp McDonald, Ga., for this place, v> e received a box of Soldier* Relief NnrieSy. The President of the Soldiers Relief Society iias requested the Secretary to give to the public their eff.u ts in behalf of the brave defenders of • mr country; in doing this we are actuated hy no vain or ambitions spirit, with humility would say we have only done our duty and pleasure, aud our only object in giving it publicity, is to inspire those who have not given to'do so note. The va rious members of the Society have engaged heart and soul in their duties, and with generous purses and willing hands ma le up and forwarded to their respective companies the following articles, viz • To the Baldwin Cues 666 garments consisting ot pants, coats, drawers, shirts, socks and hsveloeks. ro the Governor’s Horse Guards 277 besides mak iug up quite a number of garments for them before before their departure. To the Georgia Regulars (from this {county) B!1 garments. To the Bald win Volunteers, nothing lias been sent, but upon their leaving the Society furnished to them and to the recruits (who recently left) 361 garments, besides doing sewing for them, making in all 1,- t76 garments given by the Society to our soldiers Since its organization, nearly* three months ago. die Society has made 2,51(0 garments. The Trews ur«-r lias expended for buttons, thread, tape.&e., together with transporting expenditures, $125 65 There are quite a mi inner of garments in the iepository, but not sutfieent to supply the de mand for winter use. We are anxious to procure blankets for our soldiers, and not having sufficient funds frr the purchase, we appeal to our citizens to furnish them If everybody in the county would give but a single blanket, the quantity needed could be raised. Let us not ask in vain, but let one and all send in blankets to tho President.— Vt a recent meeting of the Society, the Ladies re solved to send a box to Judge Starnes for tho sick and wounded of our Georgia men. All who feel disposed, (and who are not !)to contribute to this, will send to Mrs. Fort, or to the Vice President, Mrs. J B. Trippe, who will seyd on the box in the course of ten days From our friends in the coun try, we would soiicit aid—they have proved them selves so liberal in contributing to the comfort r.t our soldiers, we feel assured they will give for the relief of the sick and suffering. Such articles as pillows, sheets, pillow cases, old soft undercloth ing, morning gowns, slippers handkerchiefs,oil silk lint, bandages old liuen and cotton rags Rice, tea, jellies, pickles, jams, sage, flax seed, ar row root, corn starch, medicines, soaps, brandy and wine, and cordials, <tc. All these articles will be gratefully received—money will be well applied if given.

Sirs: The secession of the State of Georgia from the old Federal Union, was sustained and accomplished by the Southern rights party, and as members of that party the voters of Chatham maintained the right cf our Slate to withdraw Virginia is also good—the enemy is everywhere | addressed to the patriotism and^ liberality ot our the retreat and our people pursuing them 1 ke and also to raise ifiiizens.ztails loudly fur immediate and united action, it should not be forgotten that the cold weather will commence in the mountains of Vir ginia much sooner than in our section. It is al ready upon our brave volunteers. We learn that frost has already been seen in the camps. There is, therefore, no time to lose. Every hand should be busy until the comfort of our boys is assured. The following is the appeal oi Geneial Anderson : To the Friends and Relatives ot the First, the Seventh, and Fourteenth Regiments. Captain Hart's Independent Rifle Company, and Capt. Alexander's Rangers, composing First Brigade of Tennessee Volunteers iu Yirgiuia. The near approach of the cold season in the mountains, admonishes us that preparations should he made against the rigors and hardships of a win ter campaign. And whilst it is not doubted that the Couf* derate States will amply meet all our wants, yet ttie work ot preparing supplies for the large armies now iu the field, is no oi dinary one, aud liberal contributions from patriotic cilizeus, would tend much to relieve the Government. Each an evidence of their sincere* soldier now here will require from two to three blood hounds bard upon their heels. In Eastern Vi*(*inia, things seem to be preparing for great events. We shall probably hear of some impor tant movements before long. In Georgia, the Ban kites are collecting their forces tor a grand caucus at Miliedgeville, on the 11th of Septem ber. After that, we may look for a vigorous war against Governor Brown, but this campaign will necessari^r be short. f Hospital Fund. Tbe Grand Jnry recommend that a meeting of the cit sens of this county be held on Saturday next for the purpose of appointing a committee, of one, or more, from each militia district, to so licit funds and other necessary articles for tne uge and comfort of oar sick and wounded soldiers. funds to assist iu the establish ment of a Georgia Military Hospital in Ytrgtma. The Grand Jury, as an evidence of their sincere desire to contribute to the comfort of our sick and wounded soldiers, subscribed one hundred dollars .o tb. Hospital fund. We trust there will be a fall meo* 10 * 0B S #tar<1 *J r pair of stout woolen socks, two pair woolen draw ers, one heavy coat (roundabout) one over cat, two blankets or yarn coverlids, woolen gloves, two flannel shirts, two pair heavy pants, a heavy pair of shoes or boots aud one felt or wool bat. Many of the firesides and the libenies of the peopl threatened with destruction. In the full knowl edge of f rriicomiiig results we gave our entire support to the movement: but in doing this we did not contemplate a curtailing ot our own free dom of speech or tlie pen. or that the rights pre viously enjoyed by citizens should have to under go the Scrutiny ot self inaugurated censors, who have assumed powers not granted by, aud alto gether unauthorized by the laws of the land. We have evi-r cherished the enjoyed freedom of the post, and we wish to transfer it intact, if possible, to our children, and we hope that ihe people of Geuigia will keep a vigilant eye upon all open ami hidden attempts, to curtail those rights en joyed by and bequeathed to ns, through the suffer- iugs and blood of our ancestors. f are men among us who are great admirers o. British examples and their institutions, and who are fascinated with the glare attending King- ,y power, men who would not scruple to see a recognized aristocracy created to rule and dotni- ueet over the people, provided that they them selves should be the recipients. Aware of the spread ot these sentiments, we opposed and voted against o reduction ot the Senate of Georgia, as tt rea. y ended, in our opinion, to the weakening o powei of the masses, and to an increase ot further usurpauons in favor of the few. .. .

Corner Stour] The Fort Hattern* Affair Confirmed. Richmond, Ya., August 30.— Dispatch es from Wilmington say that offi cial intelligence has been received there this morning, stating that Hatteras battery was taken at 11 A. M., yesterday, by the Federal forces. They took 535 Confeder ate prisoners, including Com Barron and Col. Bradford. Later reports from Hat- teras says that Forts Hatteras and dark, two miles North, were both taken by the Federalists. Our men fought bravely. The loss on our side is supposed to be 40 killed and 20 wounded. Another report says that there were 80 killed and woun ded. The balance of the forces, some 600 to 800, were taken prisoners. Only 10 or 12 escaped. i'urop<’; ami iVclmsle Scales Atfirer- ; Agency. Atlanta, Ga , August *2Jtb, 1861. The object of this Agency is to effect a direct trade alliance b tween the European and the Southern Press, through the medium of advertis ing. The most practicable mode oT in trod u cing the Merchants, Manufacturers, Capitalists. Insu rance Companies, &c., of foreign countries, to the Southern trade, is by an organized, classified and libera! system of advertising. Trade, like time and tide, wait for no man. The commerce of the world will not pause iu ruinous inaction, but will commence its irresistible ebb and flow the moment peace is established. One of the most dangerous, corrupting and insidious means to be used by the North, will he the medium of adver tising n Southern papers. Advertising agencies are already organized-in every Northern city, and only bide their time. We must see to it that our papers are so tilled with foreign advertisements and the advertisements of Southern Importers, Dealers and Manufacturers, that there will not he space left in any Southern newspaper for the ad vertisement of a single Yankee notion. Then will our papers present to their readers a faithful mirror of Dealers, Manufacturers, *£c., in the Old World, and of out business men at home, and thus attach to Southern interest that mighty lever “the Press,” arid disrupt the tie which by means of Northern advertising has hadso much influeuco in binding the South to dependence upon its enemies. Through the medium of a liberal advertising patronage, our Southern editors can be maintained against the stagnation in their business, which proceeds from interrupted or disorganized trade. The object of this agency is threefold: 1st. To advertise European Merchants, Manu factures, Hotels, Railroads, Insurance Companies, Bankers, &e , &c., in Southern papers. 2nd. To advertise Southern business, property, &c., in Europ an journals. 3rd. To advertise home industry and Southern enterprise in onr own papers, and thereby build up the ciiies of our Confederacy, instead of those ol our enemies. Onr arrangements abroad are all completed We now* address you this preliminary circular, to ask you to send us duplicate copies of your paper accompanied by a private letter (which shall be strictly confidential,) stating your terms of adver tising, &c- We will soon appoint agents in each important seabord and inland cily. Atlanta, at present, is selected for the Central Office, on account of its geographical position. We respectfully ask for this enterprise your hearty co operation and as sistance, and guarantee, iu return, strict integrity in all business transactions By order of the Board of Directors. WM. H. BARNES, Superintendent. Peace .'loreatenta at the IVorsh. We clip the following significant article from a late Boston journal: The position taken by tho Democratic party in the great States of New York and Ohio in opposition to ihe proposal of the Republicans to nominating joint tickets in favor of the Union and a vigorous prosecution of the war, excites considerable comment in political circles. We understand, also, that the Democrats of New Hampshire, or a portion thereof, will, in all probability, taken a similar stand. The resolu tions adopted at a recent Democratic gathering at Alfred, Me., indicate a like purpose by the Anti-republican element in that State. At this gathering it was declared as the senti ment of the meeting, tiiat “the reconstruction of the Union by fo-ce against the embittered feelings and the united strength of nearly one haif the States is a pa'pable adsnrdity, and an utter impossibility, and even if the revolted States should be overrun and subjugated, they can be held to their allegiance only by changing our Government to an unlimited monarchy; aud while pursuing this delusion of re-uniting the States by coercion, a standing army has been raised with out color of law, the freedom of speech has been abridged, the right of protection of persons by habeas corpus, the right of safety ill home, papers and effects, tlie right of petition for redress ol grievance—all these great constitutional rights on which our freedom test ate being violated, and unless aud immediate check be placed upon these usurpations, no remnant ot our once free govefu- ntent will remain to us. Resolved, Tiiat the only end to be attained by tbe present coercive policy of the Administra tion is the entire prostration of our commercial, industrial and material interests, a lasting separ ation, and an unconquerable bitterness of feeling between tiie different States, au enormous sacri fice of blood and treasure, and the complete sub version of our government. Resolved, That wo are in favor of a General Convention of all the States, to take into consid eration measures for the immediate and amicable settlement of tbeexistiug difficulties.” Tribute of Respect. CAMP BARTOW, \ Maxassa Junction, Aug. 22, 1861. £ At a meeting of the “Baldwin Volunteers,” held this evening, Capt. Benj. Beck presiding, tlie fol lowing preamble and resolutions, reported hy the undersigned Committee through their Chairman, were unanimously adopted ; Whereas, in iiis inscrutable and allwiso provi dence, the great Ruler of the Universe has seen tit to remove from our ranks our young and gal lant fellow-soldier, James DARNELL, and where as onr own feelings of sad regret at his untimely en has well as sympathy with his relatives and friends in this their irreparable loss, call for some public expression; therefore, be it Resolved, By the death of James Darnell, a sad and melancholly gap has been made in our ranks, ilis soldierly bearing and gallant spirit, which not even the npproafii of death could chill, but which would light his eye and flush his cheek at the sound of the rolling drum, even while tlie cold death damps were gathering on his brow to**ther with his cheerful and genial disposition havbndeared him to every heart, and being the youngest of our little band, we feel that we have lost a companion whose place can never be sup plied. Resolved, While we mourn with heartfelt sor row the loss of our comrade, yet there are many circumstances which tend to soften our grief. True he is dead : but he died in a cause so just and true, that those who die in it, are embalmed as martyr heroes in the hearts of tlieir country men. His young form reposes silently beneath the solemn lorests and surrounded by the magnifi cent scenery of grand old Virginia: but he has merely been transferred from the ranks of our Southern armies, whose leaders though brave and true are stiil of earthly mould, to swell the col umns ot that great Captain whose mission, pro claimed in the deep-toned thundeis of the decree of eternal Omnipotence, is "to forth conquering and to conquer.” He sleeps iu a patriot's grave, but his young and gallant spirit is even now wan dering “o'er fame's eternal camping ground,” amid the glorious “mahalla of chivalry.” Resolved, That saddened as we are by tho fall of this new victim of the reaper Death, we will still bow with linnib e submission to the will ot “Him w ho doeth all things well.” Resolved, That we tender to his afflicted rela tives our heartfelt sympathies, and assure them that his death was surrounded by all the ameiia- tory circumstances w hich kind and willing hands could give. Resolved, That the Miliedgeville papers be re quested to publish the foregoing preamble and resolutions, and that a copy be sent to the relatives of the deceased. i EDWIN P. CATER, Bvt. 2d Lieut.

YI7E the Grand Jury of Baldwin county clio- T » sen and sworn for the present term beg leave to make the following presentments *. The .Jail we find neatly and cleanly kept and in good order, with the exception of ihe root, win dow sils, and fences around the lot, whieh are needing repairs, and we respectfully call the at tention of the Inferior Court to the same. The roads in Ihe comity are generally in good order, with the exception of the road leading from die Oconee River ' Bridge to Green Medltng’s, which we recommend the Commissioners of said road to have put in thorough repair. We would also respectfully call the attention of the city authorities to the roads of lli9 town common, particularly the road leading to Mc- Coinb’s Ferry. The insolvent list returned hy the Tax Collec tor has been examined, and allowed, to wit. $10 57. S*ate, mid $13 31 County tax. We would earnestly urge the call of a meeting of tho citizens of this county, on Saturday the 7th day of September next, for the purpose ot appointing a committee, consisting of one or more from each Militia District, whose duty it shall be to solicit funds and necessary articles for the use and comfort of the sick and wounded soldiers now, or who may hereafter be in tin* service of onr country. The necessity for the establishment of a Hospital at some point in Virginia, to be known as the "Georgia Ho-qiita!,” is forcibly presented to the mind of every good citizen, and to establish and provide all necessary means and comforts for such a hospital, will require liberal and prompt action upon the pan of the whole people. Many ciliz*-ns and counties have put. the ball in motion, and we feel confident that old Baldwin will not fall behind in her liberality. And as evidence of onr sincere desire to contribute to the comfort of the sick attd wounded soldiers, from onr midst, we have subscribed one bundled dollars to the Hospital fund, and we fitrtlier pledge ourselves, that as long as we have a dollar to give, our gal lant army shall not suffer for anything. Our thanks are due. are hereby tendered to the Ladies of Baldwin, for their patriotic and humane exertions in procuring funds and clothing for the support and comfort of our gallant soldiers in the field, and as Grand Jurors, we pledge ourselves to aid them in thatmoble and patriotic enterprise. To our afflicted soldiers, we tender our warmest sympathies, and trust that a kind Providence will soon restore them to health and usefulness: and to onr gallant army we pray that tiie God of hat ties wilf shield and protect them, and that they may return safely to their quiet and peaceful homes. We tender to iiis Honor, Judge Harris, our thanks for his able and efficient administration ot the laws, and commend his patriotic devotion to the cause of his country.
