Orme of the Southern Hr order, i; will be the only daily paper puolishei in Mniedgeville during the approaching session ol the Legislature. TERMS: One copy for the session, $1 00 Six copies for 5 00 We will endeavor to make our dailv pnper a re liable medium of legislative business, and bopt ■he pub.ie will give us a liberal support, as tin tine s are hard, and material high. HOUGHTON, NISBET & BARNES, t V Will our brethren of the press give this no tire a few insertions ? Our Itiikij-. We would ask our readers the favor to state to their neighbors and friends the fact, that the Daily Southern Fedcial Union will be published usueual. during the session of the Legislature It is the only daily paper that will be published in Milledgeville during the session. The terms are the same as last year, though work and material are much more expensive. We have undertaken the enterprise anticipating the wants of the pub iie in this respect, and relying on their apprecia tien of our efforts to supply them, for a generous support. For three years we have issued a dailv paper during the session, and have lost time and money on the project. At the next session tlier sill be no other paper in this place to divide the patronage, and we are induced to believe that our labors will be better rewarded than hereto Postmasters and others sending us $5 00 for a cinb of five, will be entitled to receive the sixth copy gratis. We hope that our friends will exert themselves to get us up lists of subscribers for their respect iva localities. Of course no paper will be sent, unless the money accompanies the order. Send in the names at once, that we may arrange our Mail Book. T!ir next I.rgiitliiturr. No previous General Assembly of Georgia, has surpassed the one about to convene in this city in the ability or moral worth of its members. One has but to glance over the roil to bo satisfied that the present Legislature is an honor to the peopb who have chosen it. The Senators are not. the m in who have tilled the honored seats in that body during times of high political excitement They are the solid 1 n of the country, brought out of their loug retirement, by the temper of the tones and the demands of patriotism. With one or two exceptions they are men who have never aspired to seats in Congress or posts of honor under the rule of parties. The people will rest in security while such custodians of the public inter est are on guard. In the House we find almost a new set of men, and we may safely add, that a large majority ot them are men of intelligence and high standing We miss the familiar names of the Lewises, Fan nin, Milledge, Smith of Towns, Harris of Glynn ; hut their vacancies are supplied by Love and Moore of Thomas. Bigliam of Tronp, Cabaniss ot Monroe. Akin of Cass, Whittle of Bibb, Cochrane ofGlyns,, Schley of Richmond, Briscoe of Bald win. Mallard of Liberty. Liwson cf Putnam, Woodworth of Pike, Hook of Washington, and r me others quite as prominent. The ficurralH ot* the Prr.s. •Some Editors of Southern Daily papers are d^satisfied with the way our Generals on the Potomac have managed thing3, and are loud mouthed in censure of what they consider weak ness or incapacity in our military leaders. The Charleston Courier touches off these pen sa l ink Generals after the loilowing fashion. “The reasons are special for two o’clock,’’ was ! r ply of the gallant Beauregard to a dispatch bom tuc War Department at Montgomery, oruer- JJ'K him, if possible, to begin bis attack on Fort Sumter a few hours earlier than be bad expected. Is it to be supposed that such a General 1ms been compelled to remain in idle, or needless, or pur- I'O <• esg repose? Has nothing been done in the erec tion ot the batteries commanding the Potomac? Admitting it was possible to have pursued the panic-stricken fugitives from Manassas and to have captured Washington, what would have been gained while the Potomac was open to the Lincoln Navy? ” bat would be gained at any time by a raid into tbe enemy's teritory without proper support fid communication? Are we not too prone to f l ow European ideas and modes of thought, and tucvtisider the possession of the Capital as the only and necessary result of any war? Thr 19,000,000 Loan, and Ihc Colton Sub scription. The Richmond Examiner of the Gth inst. makes the following statement in relation to the lean to the Government: it will bo seen that $5,000,000 are still needed tinder the authorised loan of fifteen millions.—•" This is the best investment now offering in this Ciuntry to men who have money by them. They ®ii the Government at the same time they secure a profitable and safe investment. The books are •till open for subscriptions. Tbe coupons at tacked to the bunds are paid whenever due, by Ranks in Savannah, and the holder of the Bonds has no trouble whatever in the matter of collect- in 2 the interest We subjoin the statement of the Richmond Ex aminer which is no doubt official. TIIE GOVERNMENT I.OAXS. The Confederate States Government, in the *-ar!y part of the year, authorized a loan of $15,- "oo.omt. Some $8,000,000 of it were prompt by fabscribed for. and it has been generally supposed Jbat by this time the whole had been taken. ]bis, we understand, is a popular mistake. 'I hero still five millions of this loan not taken, and •or which, we understand, the Government has 'till open its books for subscription. The produce loan ha? been a success from the beginning. At the time of the surrender of Fort ''muter, when war was shown to be inevitable, tbe cecietary of the Treasury called upon the plunders ol the Confederate States for a subscrip- *•»» of 1 ,(1110,000 bales of cotton—worth, say «’0,1(00,OUO—to be paid for in 8 per cent bonds, bincp the W(ir Oeen thoroughly inaugurated, Onr Hnndsauir Neighbor. We are determined not to be behind our Mili ary and Literary brother of the Recorder, iu uagnaniinity or generosity. H e has withdrawn charges of indelicacy and bad motives, and •ccords to nssinority and discernment in our ad- • racy ofihe claims of Governor Brown. In ail ns, we .liink he does us no more than strict jus- 0 • ■ On our part, we give him credit for more , “ ,h “ Patience of Job; and although he dif- red from Solomon in some respects, we were dis posed to give him the benefit of tl at difference. • l is surely ought to satisfy any ordinary man, •ut it seents it did not satisfy our handsome lughLor. lie forgot all of these high encomi uni, and dwelt only on an unlucky quotation we •lade from “Holy Writ,” in reference to Phara oh s lean kine. In justice to ourself and to our neighbor, we will here state, that we would have eft out the word “illfuvored" if we could have lone so, without spoiling the point and force of lie who.e quotation. But who could fora mo ment believe that bad any reference to our harid- *o.ne neighbor ? Or who could have believed. h.U .u Georgia Major, and the renowned author if \\ ilkins Wilder, could have been so unduly vusitive about his personal beauty ? But seeing 'hat it has given him so much pain, we retract uid take back the word *•iljarond. ' and if that is not enough, we will lake back the whole sen- ence. But we warn our neighbor to beware of uordinate ambition, “by that sib, thu angels fell." Vo human being ever yet excelled in all things. He has already rivalled Plutarch in Biography . Walter Scott in fiction, and Shakspeare in the Drama : and not content with all this, ho even •resumes to compare himself with us in personal •ttractions. Had he been satisfied to have rested ipon his literary merits, he might have enjoyed iis ‘otium cuat dignitatc" unchallenged and uu- nolested by us. But since he presumes to set up for a beauty, and to make invidious comparisons in hat respect, we insist that bis picture shall be taken, and exhibited as a frontis piece in his next iterary production. His face ought to have been placed on the fly leaf of the “Bench & Bar" tnd “Wilkins Wilder” It might have saved ome unlucky book seller from loss, an l many a reader lrom a long, dull and fruitless search after knowledge under difficulties; for it is not to be supposed that any man would buy, or commence reading the book, after getting a glance at the tiiiiz of the author. There is one other point upon vhich we must still differ with our handsome teighbor. ne still contends, that it is wrong to (raw arguments from “Holy Writ” in favor of iov. Brown. We contend, that the Bible was given 11s as the man of onr counsel, not only on Sundays and in church, but at all times, in our taily walk and conversation. But to make unends for this difference, we will admit that Wilkins W iider and the Major’s dramatic prndtic- ions, may be read, when Milton and Shakspeare ire forgotten, and that he may become the model if masculine beauty when the Apollo Belvidere ■ball be out of fashion ; ki t not until then. The .Macon Tclegrngttffii a Fog. The Telegraph of the 9th inst , says, we taunt he Georgia press with having no influence. We have never said or believed any such filing, and we are at a loss where the Telegraph could have picked up such information, unless it was where 'hat letter signed Joe ISroutn, and withdrawing •iis name fiom the canvass, was picked up; they 100k very much as if they were both the handiwork of the same person. We said in substance, that Governor Brown had been elected, with a largo majority of the Georgia press agiinst him. We believe that every Newspaper has more or less in- iluence for good or evil: and we believe also, that some papers have an inverted influence, that is, ■he stronger they oppose a candidate, the more likely he is to he elected. General (ftuuiter) Anilrruon. This man is returning the kindness extended him by the citizens of Charleston and the author itiee of the Confederate States Government by •ailing on Kentuckians to bow their necks to Lincoln’s despotism, or become targets for the guns of Lincoln’s hireling soldiery. Gen. Ander son was understood to be a gentleman ; but he Mas shown the cloven foot iu Kentncky, and will take position in history beside the degraded wretches who have made war on women and children and the helpless sick and wounded. Be- ow wo givo an extract from his infamous procla mation to the people of Kentucky and tho just and forcible comments of the Charleston Courier. 1’hat “flag" appealed to so fondly is not the flag “onr fathers loved,” but the symbol of tyranny an inhumanity. “Rally, then, my friends, around the tlag our fathers loved, which has shielded us so long ” So says that snivelling hypocrite, Robert Ander son, in his appeal to Kentuckians. This idolatrous and insane devotion to a rag which has so long ceased to be respected as a flag, and has become a nuisance, flouting its rotten folds and fragments to the disgust of all Christian eyes and noses, is exhibited by men who habitually figbt under oth er flags. At the battle of Oak Hill, in Missouri, tlit Yankees displayed the Confederate flag, and our valiant biockaders have made all their captures nearly under the fraudulent use cf the English or French colors. Tbr Grot-gin Hoy* Winning I-nurda. Within a f*-w days past intelligence has been received of several engagements with the enemy, iu all of which Georgia boys have covered them- s-lve? with glory. At Green Briar, under Gen. Henry R. Jackson, on the coast ot North Carolina, under Col. A. R. Wright, and on Santa Rosa Is land in the Gulf of Mexico; iu all these engage ments, onr Georgia troops hare proved their valor and their invincibility. Several noble spirits have fall-eii in these encounters, whose death we deeply deplore, but whose memory will be dear to every true Georgian while the stars twinkle and the riv ers run. Goon —The Central Georgian says that hereaf ter Gov. Brown may sign his proclamations Jo seph Rex. Wo clip the above fiom the Macon Telegraph. Hereafter the Press that opposed Gov. Brown, may adopt the title Know Nothing. And onr friend of the Telegraph, should be elected to the office of Most Worthy Grand. As to the Central Georgian, it belongs to the general wrecks of tbe tiist Wednesday of October, 1861. 1‘rince A’npoleon on the W’ur.

I never shrank from tie duties imposed upon me by my office, nor would I. 1 had presumed that I had satisfied my friends concerning my resignation, and it is through their persuasion that 1 desire to give this publicity, to counteract the influence of enemies who would not sciuple to injure me by circulating filse reports.

[SoatAsra Cenftderaty. ARMY C'ORKESPOXDEYCE. Camp near Fairfax C. H. Va , > September28th, loot, t Messrs. Editors Southern Federal Union: After a long period of painful inactivity, during which our minds had become negative, being de prived of the stimulus a soldier always needs, we have again entered upou real military life. From the quiet camp we had occupied, near Manassa, since 22d July, we have cornu into the immediate presence of the enemy, having seen his blue jack ets, and heard his balls sweep, hissing, past our ears. We have within the present week experi enced a little of two different kinJs of fighting, the outpost skirmish, and the open field fight The former though desultory in its character, has neverthless its share of risk and a peculiar kind of excitement; the latter, though more dangerous, is at the same time more stimulating: because, in combination with the sense of duty, the patri ot’s motive, it unites great ideas, noble aspirations, and eleva:ed sentiments. If, therefore, in battle tbe soldier is in mote danger, be is the better pre pared to meet it. 8ix days ago, the 9th Regiment was ordered to Muuson’s Hill for advance guaid duty. The hill is eleven miles from our present encampment, arid ten from Fail fax C. II. The regiment mulch ed at 7 A. M-, Sunday the 22J. Arriving at the hill at 12 M., my company was at once thrown forward on the line of ou’posts. The position as signed us has a tront of two hundred yards, is half a mile beyond the hill and to its left. Care ful inspection soon revealed the position of the enemy about five hundred yards to our front His reserve, or picket, was posted in a large build ing opposite to our right flank, known as Bag ley s House, having rifle pits advanced opposite each flank—had a quiet time on guard—not a shot fired on either side during the first tour—relieved at sunset Sunday evening, and joined the main body on the hill. Munson's Hill is west of the capitol. From its top the landscape is spread out in almost a complete panorama It presents, strikingly, that ptieal illusion which makes plains appear to as cend from the observer. Here the surrouuding country, though undulatory, seems to use „n all aides, fexcept about forty degrees northward, where tho view is intercepted by adjacent hills, on all sides from the observer until the rays that meet tho eye from the most distant points visible coincide nearly with the axis of the eye; lienee the hill is apparently situated in a largo basin, the dge of which is as high as the hilltop. Facing towards Alexandria on our right, one mile distant, is Mason’s Hill, now occupied by one of our pick ets; oil our left is the Soldier 3 Home; looming upon the distant horizon, a little to tha right ot this, in full view is the dome of the capitol in Washington; to the right of the capitol is the Insane Asylum; between the Asylum and Alexan dria. stretching across an opening in the dense woodlands in front, shining in the morning sun. like a street of burnished silver, is distinctly visi hie the beautiful l’otomac, and diiectly in our front, over the walls of Fort Ellsworth, waves grac fully in the boutliern biecze, the stars and stripes. Fort Ellsworth appears from this point to be iu the suburbs ot Alexandria. It is distinct ly visible to the naked eye. By the aid of a itlass fifteen embrasures are to be seen, all for barbette guns, but no guns are yet mounted. Working parties could be seen at several points on the wal, fronting towards our position, while the bayonets of Federal sentinels glittered in the sun from the parapet. Very early in the forenoon, Monday, a few mus kef, shots could he heard along the line ot out posts. The firing soon became general along a tine nparly two miles in length. The right of our outposts rested behind some old houses; the Fed erals opposite occupied two houses ami several rifle pits. Here the firing was Kept tin with spirit on both sides. The bails of the enemy, though projected fiom the distance of five or six hundred yards, fell all around us, after passing near oui heads, with force sufficient to penetrate solid tim bers to the depth of four inches. A brisk fife was kept up the whole day ; strange to say, however, no injury w as done on our side except one slight wound. The Y’ankecs were seen to carry off otic of their men in a blauket—another was seen to fail; whether any damage was done to those in the pits is, of course, not to be ascertained. This kind of warfare is certainly illegal and dishonora ble ; and hence, should be continued only in cases where the enemy begins it. It has been positive ly forbidden by our commanding-genoral; but our men aie so eager for a figbt that it is quite difli cult to execute the order. Some of the officers and mrn of our army have gone to the other ex treme by holding friendly correspondence with the Federate; meeting on halfway ground, aud exchanging tobacco and whiskey. I have not seen any such correspondence but it, no doubt hax been done. Some amusing incidents occur on our line of outposts. The distance between the lines being too great for the range of the common musket, i; is comparatively inefficient; henc?. a shot from one of these muskets on cur side is often answer ed by a Federal sentinel throwing a rock, or in some way giving an expression of defiance. On one occasion a Yankee taunted tbe Confederates by calling them "negro driver*,” which was re torted by the jeering allusion to Bull Run, “lmvi you any more haversacks to throw away T” Some times these jests degenerate into tho most pro fane tirades. My company was on duly again from Monday to Tuesday. On Tuesday evening, the 9t.h Regi ment was relieved from duty at Munson’s Hill,and returned as far as Fall’s Church. On Wednesday morning our pickets in the direction of Lewenville. driven in, reported the enemy advancing with a force of ten thousand men and eighteen pieces ot artillery. At 12 M., our Regiment, the Georgia Regulars, one piece of the Washington Artillery and a small detachment of cavalry, nil undei command of Col. Stewart, ivere in march to meet the expected attack, on a road to the left of tha leading to Lewenville, other detachments being sent forward to hold the enemy in check at othei points accessible to him. About 4 I* M. the ene my was discovered about one mile from our right flank, drawn up in battle array. His position wa> about one mile from Lewenville. and four from Fall’s Church. The necessary reconnoisance be ing made, our little band of less than one thotis and men, aud one field piece, rushed forward with alacrity, in double quick time, to meet and engage a foe outnumbering it more than ten to one. We had proceeded 110 farther than two hundred yards when the battle began by our artillery throwing shells into the ranks of the enemy. About the same time he was vigorously assailed at another point to our left. The fire of our field piece was returned promptly Skirmishing parties were now thrown forward to engage tbe Federal sharp shooters, but they had retired out {of sight before our skirmishers could get in range. The firing ceased for a time, oui cavalry and artillery being in pursuit of the retreating enemy. Darknes- coming on, the firing could not be renewed, except our artillery gave tbe Y’ankees a few parting shots as they retir d precipitately in the direction of the Chain Bridge. After dark wo returned to Fall’s Church having lest one slain. It is quite proba ble that our shells did considerable execution among tbe enemy; the first one thrown was ob served to burst in Ids ranks. Blood was found at several places where the shells exploded. One Y’ankce prisoner was taken. It is difficult to understand this movement oi tbe enemy ; and we are surprised that he did not make a more vigorous effort to maintain his posi tion. The day being too far advanced to light a decisive battle, we confidently expected a renewal of the contest on the following morning; but in this we were mistaken ; for, on the next day all was quiet. Probably the enemy only designed to feel his way in h direction inaccessible to the ob servations of bis seronaut, who may be seen from Munson's Hill making bis ferial trips regularly crsry morning and evening. Whether these ob servations, and the movement towards Lewenville arc preparatory to a general advance of the Fed eral Army remains to bo seen. Be this as it may, the Confederate Army of the Potomac is fully prepared to meet its advances, and to inflict a de feat more terrible than anything that has yet be fallen our enemies since tbe conflict began. Our commanding-general lias not been idle during the last two months. He has had ample time to con ceive wisely and develop maturely, and has doubt less used it well. And while our works of de fense have been progressing, reinforcements, both in men and artillery have been forwarded to our support. We should be pleased at the advance of the enemy ; for we feel confident that a great vic tory would result to our arms. 26th we returned to our encampment. 27th a strong gale is blow ing from the east—rain incessantly—ground is becoming quite soft—tent pins giving way—some tents failing—it is with great difficulty that we can prevent all of them coming down and leav ing us exposed to the pelting storm- 28th. The sun shines from a cloudless sky—the west wind, cool and bracing, sweeps with chilling effect, through the encampment. Health of the Regi ment improves. BENJ. BECK. Naval Engagement oil’ (be Const of North Carolina. Capture of the V. S. Steamer Fanny and Forty-Nine Prisoners, withe a Large Amount of Stores!—Col. Wright and Com. Lynch Com'dg—Third Georgia tn the Fight. M e are indebted to a friend, of Madison, Geo., for the following letter, giving an account of the bril liant engagement off the North Carolina Coast: Ehzabeth City, N. C., } Oct. 4tn. 1661. j Mr. Editor : Being thus far, returning from Roanoke Island, aud detained for a few hours. I propose a short account of the Third Regiment Georgia Volunteers. And first of all: on yesterday forty-nine prisoners from Hatteras were placed on a barge "in from of the camp, who, the night before bad been taken by un expedition commanded by Col. Wright, aud composed of tbe Dawson Grays’, Athens Guards and Wilkinson Rifles. The command were on board the steamers Raleigh, Curiew, and Junaluska, a part of Commodore Lynch’s squadroD. These steamers were armed with cannoD. On Thursday last, at 21-2 P. JkL, the whistles soun ded. the “tiibands” of the Confederate States kissed the rising breeze, and off tbe little army and navy went: Commodore Lynch commanding all the stea mers. Is two hears and a half tho d**p mouthed dogs of I war, let loose; told us in camp thejwork was going on. Presently; quicker and quicker came tbe booming thun- ,’fT Hatteras, and she tens ours. 8he made ail the resistance she could, but was taken. Armed with two pieces (one a rifled cannon;) and those 49 men (one acontrabnnd of war in uniform)—she was carrying immense army s’ores to the 14th Indiana Regiment, then establishing a camp abont 20 mile? from ours Y'esterdny the captured Fanny was unloaded, and before now has, in nil probability", done us good service. For as we came away the cannon. at 0 P. M , when we were 15 miles off apprised us that the fleet and army were again in motion. The Fanny’s cargo is very valuable, probably worth fro,000 or $ SO.000. One item is l,00u army overcoats. The prisoners are detachments from various compa nies at Hatteras, and were commanded by Capt. Hart, of the 1 Itii Indiana regiment.—Twelve of them are from the New Y'ork 9th Regiment, and were ac ting as artillerymen. They are safe in good hands, and treated as priso ners of war. Lieut. Harris of the Home Guards, had them in charge when we left and, all hands on the barge were desirous to find all the comforts in open decks afforded, in the bright sunshine. This was indeed nn episode in the life of the regiment Since taking quarter? there, they have worked dav mid night a good part of the time, doing it more rapid ly ban the Engineer could plan it. Three batteries of guns, so far as the soldiers could finish them, were completed in less than ten days, and the black- throated “peace-makers” now lie quietly in their pla ces. ready topass It is not right to say’fullv what the work is; it iriu*t be sure to realize tho labor those forti fications required at tiie hands of our soldiers. Yerv much of it was done without proper implements, in a burning sun, or rainy night, without a word of com plaint or dissatisfaction. Col. Wright told me I ought to see the boys clearing up the ground with pocket knives, and now they enjoyed the fun. The regiment is full oflife.and unwilling to lose the results of this work, which, with severe fighting, ought to give it a large victory and many more prisoners. It has lost only seven or eight men by death since its organization. And after measles and mumps were over, no large number of men at any time, liave been sick. Awaydown lu re, or there in North Carolina, it was very pleasant in the deep thick woods of Roanoke Island, to be with 900 or 1,000 of Georgia’s best men and blood, all, nil at fever beat for a good fight. It was my good fortune to arrive at the cantonment on Saturday evening, and ns onr arrival wss the first in a week with a mail, of eours we had a hearty Georgia’s welcome. But a little while passed and a very many were rea ding long and loving letters from dear ones far “away down in Dixie. ’ if v stay was very well occupied; I enjoyed the hospi- tnlitiesof Stnfi Oflieers. enptnms and privates, and I believe they nil live alike. And now Mr. Editor, if any other regiment from Georgia wants hard work to do, let it enter list against this 3d—to frolic, work or light—and its hands are full. Rev. R. 1$. Lester is Chaplain, and he gives ns a good sermon on Sunday morning. Four of the Captains and many of the men are professors of reli gion. I would like to name certain officers whom I knew before they came here, but, sir, they are all officers and men, from the Slate of Georgia, and have come here to do just one thing—their duty to their country and themselves. Before your renders get this, some one will give you a full account of all their acts and doings in the enter prises just now on their hands. Of their success there is no doubt. “The next gale that sweeps from the North" to you, may say Hatteras is again “we’ll see what we shall see." Y'ours, tic. From the Constitutionalist.

Rozencrantz, iu Western Y’irgiuia, the reliability ot which report was considered to be doubtful, is confirmed to day in official quarters. Gen. Rosencrantz re treated with the army which he had opposing Gen. Lee at Sewell Mountain, in that section ol the State, and has gone in tho direction of the Gauley river.
