.TIr. yi.-mi.iii.ii* r*s Letter.
We invite the attention of our readers to the
letter of Mr. Memniinger Secretary of the Treas
ury, on the subject of the Cotton Loan.
"Piwpl upon I'rcccpt l.inc upon Line.”
Again and again have the press of the country
urged upon planters the importance of making
more corn, and small grain crops, and of raising
hogs, cattle, sheep. Arc. We have endeavored to
do our duty in this n spect, and have written much
and frequently on this common place topic. It
is no longer a subject to be dismissed from the plan
ter's attention without serious thought. Bacon
commands a price which, though high, farmers
must pay. Negro clothing, shoes, hats, dec , are
very high, but must be had. Too much stress has
been put upon cotton. It has been boastfully
called “King,” yet the great manufacturing towns
o: Europe are deciding to do without the staple,
or to work on greatly reduced supplies. Is Cotton
really King ? It does not look so now, when it
cannot command money enough to the planter to
pay his taxes. Let the farmer look to the small
grain crops for security against high arid hard times
next year. Now is the lime to be breaking up and
putting in wheat, oais, barley, rye, Ac. Lm the
hogs be looked after. They should be called up
every day, and even twice a day. if hut little corn
of men in
moderate circumstances, many of them poor men,
and their patriotic wives and daughters. Go to
the Tax Books, mark down the names of the men
who return property in value above fifty thousand
dollars, then look for their subscriptions on the
lists in aid of the soldiers now in, or going to the
defence of the country. Have some of these rich
men done their duty? They are rich by reason of
their broad acres and hundreds of negroes. But
what would they be worth if the despot threaten
ing us should conquer our brave people? Others
have their long Bank accounts. But what would
they be worth if the issue is decided against us?
And yet some of these rich men still stand back.
They fear to walk our streets lest some benevo
lent object is thrust into their faces. Will God
bless such men? Never, if He be a just God —
There are men in Baldwin county to-day who have
not given to the support of our soldiers one fourth
of a cent on the dollar out of all their property,
which if sold, even now, ou the block, would bring
one hundred thousand dollars. It is time these
men had begun to move. They will not go unre
membered if th**y are unseen. If they hug to their
bosoms the delusive hope that success will crown
onr efforts without their aid, they may rest assure
ed that when peace does come they re It hare a mem
ory. And if man spares them, God surely will not
Celling Alarmed.
Late telegraph dispatches from the North repre
sent the Yankees ns much alarmed at the pros
pect of a conflict with certain European powers.—
They are said to be panic struck up about Boston,
and demand that the Government shall at once put
their cities in a position to defend themselves a-
gainst the enemy, whoever it may be. The miser
able cretures are frightened at their own shadows.
They have more cause to fear the people at tiieir
doors, who they have cheated out of work and
bread by the war npon the South, their natural
friends and benefactors. The fanatics who have
rushed the war upon the Southern States have an
enemy at their doors far more terrible than Eng"
lish or French fleets. That enemy will turn upon
their leaders and devour them, if their wives and
little ones are refused work or bread. A hungry,
starving population do not stop to count costs, or
discuss moral or legal obligations. When the starv
ing poor of the North come to settle with the lead
ers of this fratricidal war, look for an outbreak that
will rival the flush days of the French Revolution,
Messers. Seward Sc Lincoln will have to take care
of more coasts than they dream of. An army of
rioters with bread banners will strike more terror
to their souls than all the big ships of England
and France.

keeps tl em from wandering too far and becoming
wild or getting lost. Every farmer and planter can
make his own meat, and produce more of every
thing that man or beast will eat, than he needs fur
his own uses. It is the duty of the planter to do
this, lie secure s himself first, and then he great
ly helps the State and country. Every pound of
meat or bushel of corn over aud above what the
planter needs for h s own consumption, is so much
aided to the general wealth of the country. Wc
know that many farmers will be compelled to adopt
this course in self-defence; but wo hope all wiii

it. When peace returns to our hemes and farms,
then the production of cotton will be both patriot

those crops which will bring the most money and
lecure the greatest public good.
Adilrro of Hon. Joint Breckinridge.
We lay before our readers to-day the noblest
production which has yet emenated from the
mind aud heart of a Statesman of the South, ou
the wrongs and usuipatious of the Federal Gov
ernment at Washington. It is so clear, so dig
nified, so truthful, so earnest, aud so crushing, in
its facts, upon the tyranny of the Federal Ad
ministration, that no honest man can arise from
its perusal unconvinced. It is a model of elo
quence and reasoning not inferior to the original
d'deration of independence : aud our young men
should frame it and preserve it as such. No one
will again ask the question, *• Where will Breck
inridge go?” He answers for himself; and it
rings like music on the car. Says he, ” To defend
your birth right and mine, which is more precious
than domestic case, or property, or life, I exchange,
with piuud satisfaction, a term of sit years in the
Stnatc of the United Stitts, for the musket of a sol-
•her.” Nobid language. Hear it ye aspirants for
high positions in the Army—hear it ye young and
'igourous men of the South who are enjoying an
inglorious ease at home; and hear it all ye host
°f aspirants for posts of honor aud emolument as

opinion, and in the opinion of others, was un
worthy a place in any decent journal. We pre-

undertook to do a large business as a critic, on a
small capital. He set up for a wit, aud failed for

THE NORTH AND SOUTH.
The fact may be ignored or forgotten in the
White House and in the residiitm of a Congress,
but North aud South do not stand towards each
other iu the relation of sovereign and subject.

pas-ion. or even from cooler considerations of bnsi
ness, another section may, without imputation of
disloyalty, refuse to acquiesce. There is no trea
son or disloyalty in the case. The South has as
many inherited rights as the North, and the North
as many as the South. It is not king and subject
who have quarreled, but brother aud brother.
They ought not to have gone to war; they
would have done much better if they had held
firmly together, and continued to show them
selves, by their amity aud concord, and their un
surpassed resources, a great nation .' but the South
had certainly—it it telt itself aggrieved, aud if it
suffered, or imagined that it suffered, in its feel
ings, interests, and comforts by thg pre-existing
compact—as much right to put an end to it as tin-
United States had originally to put an end to the
connection existing between themselves and Great
Britain. The North may continue to talk of the
“rebellion” but it is not “a rebellion,” The word is
an assumption ofa prior as well as a greater right
which ceased to exist, if it ever existed at all, at
the very moment when the South found itself
strong enough to deny aud repudiate it. In fact,
t e state of affairs is what the South truly calls it
—a secession. And however much the North may
regret the consummation, and struggle to avert it,
there will be henceforward two confederations,
instead of tile once great Republic of the United
States. Indeed, ihe signs are not few that, if the
war continues for a twelvemonth, a third confed
eration will arise out of th

terest, the unprofitable—partnership ot the South
We do not speak of the battle of Manasses, which
was had enough—or of iis second repulse, near
Springfield, in Missouri, which has inflicted al
most as great a blow upon its military character,
for these are reverses which it is in its power to
retrieve. But worse than the loss of battles,
worse than the loss of millions of money per day,
is the. toss vj liberty, that the most inestimable priv
ilege of a people, and which, up to the outbreak
of this unhappy dispute,every citizen of the United
States has fancied his inalienable birthright.—
Liberty no longer exists in the Northern half of llic
Hi public. Military law, by a stern and invincible
necessity, rides rough-shod over the civil law
wherever the two come into collision Congress
— in a panic, which it niistaki s for vigor—totes
airnu, without comment, the dearest rights of the
people-, overthrows, by a vote that is almost unan
imous. and that would be entirely so were there
not a few Secessionists still left among its mem
bers, all the secunties that formerly guarded the
purse aud the person of the citizen; squanders
money with a recklessness that has never been
equalled iu the worst wars of the Old World ; and,
in ail its doings, gallops at such a pace as to sug
gest to Americans, as well as to Europeans, that
the day ot a dictator is at hand—ofa dictator who
will make permanent that deprivation ot liberty
which is now alleged to be temporary.
The very press of America—that unchartered
libertine, whose liberty suggested license rather
than law—lias actually, under the fatai spell of
this unhappy contest, suggested to the Generals in
command that its own wings should be clipped,
and that it should not he allowed to throw the lull
light and glare of publicity upon the events of tin-
war and the condition of the country. Such is
the blighting influence of the contest that tin
people of the Northern States seem perfectly will
ing to enslave themselves if they can but enslave
tin ir Southern brethren. They throw discredit up
on Democracy, and are doing their utmost to rool
out republicanism from the New World as effect
ually as it has been rooted out of the Old.
Republicanism in America may be destined to
last, but not if this fratricidal war be not speedih
brought to a close. Military despotisms inevita
bly grow out of such seeds as are now sown
broadcast over the iand. The North, whether
conquering or conquered, will feel the grip of tb<
oppressor around its neck, aud awake, too late,
to the sorrowful conviction that it once possessed
the substance of freedom, and let it slip out of its
grasp when catching at a shadow—that shadow
being the subjugation of their friends and broth
ers, separated from them by necessities grow ing
out of climate, character, and material interests,
and not out ofainbition or desire of dominion.
And if these two noble brothers could but be in
duced to shake hands and part as friends—it the
George III, (without his “rightdivine to govern
wrong”) of the White House, could but be allow
ed by liis people to recognize the Washington o!
the South before too much humiliation and defeal
shall have been accumulated upon the Northern
cause, the North would gain a very meinorabh-
victory. It would lose nothing by the defection
of the Jfoutli, with which it might easily conclude
a treaty, by which the two might be separate in
llieir internal relations, but one and indivisible
as against the rest of the world ; while they would
have the nobler part of a continent on which to
thrive. Better than all, it would recover and es
tablish on a solid basis its fast vanishing liberties:
and would be able to prove to a now incredulous
world that a military despotism is not the neces
sary end of a democracy founded upon universa;
suffrage The two must separate soouer or later;
and better to-day than to-morrow.
The longer the result is procrastinated the great
er the burthen that must be fixed upon the present
and all future generations of Americans, and the
greater the danger that freedom itself will perish
in the struggle. We know that the words of
counsel will fall unheeded upon the Northern peo
pie who have not yet suffered enough to learn
wisdom ; but we feel certain that the day will
come when every American now living in the
Northern States, and aiding and abetting in the
suicidal as well as fratricidal war, will rue the day
when the Southern secession was not recognized
and accepted as the best thing for both, and in
comparably the best for the North. When a hun
dred millions sterling shall have been added to the
public debt, and the interest of that sum has to be
defrayed by an income and propei ty tax, how
long will California and the rising States on the
Pacific seaboard consent to remain in the Union ?
Not a day longer than they see a reasonable
chance for effecting their secession.
The South can act on the defensive without a
ruinous money cost; the North cannot act on the
offensive without incurring liabilities that will
break the back of the Republic. A thousand
men defending their own soil are equal to ten
thousand men who carry fire and sword to invade
them. All experience proves it; and when the
country to be invaded is as large as five or six
great European monarchies, the invader should
remember the fate of Napoleon in Russia, and
pause ere he commit his fortunes to so desperate
an enterprise, and much as we abhor negro slave
ry in the South, we must confess that we should
much prefer to see it left where it is, for time and
circumstance, to remedy or overthrow, to seeing
the North reduced to the humiliating position
ofa military autocracy, in which the liberties
of white men would he annihilated without the
slightest increase of the liberties of the blacks.
1 he North may be assurcil of one thing tthich is,
that if the tear lasts much longer, and the South con
tinue to irin alt the bat tics, the Kingdoms and State. of
Europe—and Great llntain among the number
—icill be compelled to recognize the Southern Con
federation as a de facto Government. In our day.
Governments cannot listen to debates upon the de
jure. Kbt u the de facto is before them,if they did they
would b; involved in a succession of wars. The
King of Italy is recognized by England and France
because his Kingdom is a fact; and the Southern
Confederation bids fair lo be acknowledged on the
same principles.

Judge Harris has done an immense deal of good
in his talks to the Grand Juries and the people
of the counties who assemble to hear him upon
the war question. Before the war was opened,
he did good service by embracing in bis charges
all matters pertaining to the public morals of the
country. He was particularly happy in his elu
cidations of the moral, social, pol’tical and legal
status of African Slavery. On
upon this point published to the world would go
farther to exhibit our peculiar institution just as
it is, and to justify it to all thinking minds, than
any document I have ever seen I have heard
prominent Statesmen and Journalists request the
Judge to write off his charge, and publish it for
the purpose of enlightening the world on the sub
ject of Slavery.
Soma persons, I know, are disposed to question
the course of Judge Harris in the scope which he
gives his charges. These persons misapprehend
the duties of a JuJge under our system, aud the
importance which attaches to his office. If I had
time, I would show how our Judges of the Su
perior Courts can wield a more wholesome intiu-
turmoil. Ihe North | eilce than the press and pulpit combined: but
” Use ‘ ,s ^ ead< rs a,ld my limits preclude elaboration now. Suffice it
to say that Judge Harris is doing a vast amount
of good, and I hope he will continue it. So much
do the people approve his charges that they can
scarcely observe the decorum of the court room
by restraining their applause.
To my mind, take him all in all, Harris is the
best Judge I have ever seen upon the bench.—
Learned in the law, his mind store! with a vast
fund of reading and polite literature, with no

Col. Kenan and the Journal .VIcnKrugcr.
Messrs. Editors :—We are glad to see the Mil
ledgeville papers supporting our friend Kenan for
re-election iu this district. We hear of no opnsi-
tion to him except from one Mr. Knowles, editor
I believe of the Journal & Messenger of Macon.
We have seen several little squibs iu that paper
over different signatures—Ocmulgee, Pulaski.
&c ; but they all bear the ear marks of the editor’s
pen! Will you inform us where Mr Knowles is
from ? Is he, the little Northern itinerant who
once lived in Athens, then in Milledgeville, then
in Florida, then in Milledgeville again, then in
Rome and then in Macon ? He seems but little
acquainted with the sentiments ot our district,
and is rather disposed to make strife, if he had
any influence. We have heard that he is a New
Hampshire man ! If so, he ought in times like
these, to be a little modest and tolerant to South
ern men especially in his comments and strictures
upon the delegates who simply recommended to
their fellow-citizens ihe election of one who is to the
‘manor born.” It was no caucus or party nomi
nation gotten up by the rnanaiucering and manage
ment of Kenan, as this little discontented editor
insinuates, for Kenan was in Virginia with onr
army at the time and has been there for two
months; but it was the recommendation of
freemen, who, wihout consulting Mr. Knoicles,
had the right lo express their sentiments.—
The Savannah Republican ventures its commend
ation upon Kenan’s being recommended, and
straightway the editor of the Journal & Messer,
ger pounces down upon him ! The Recorder and
your paper indorse the recommendation, and
again the ire of the little man is aroused in impo
tent strife. But this man attempts to excite feel
ings in Laurens, Wilkinson, Twiggs, Jones, and
other counties against Kenan for his opposition to
State-aid to railroads, when he was last in the
Legislature! What, 1 would ask, has this ques
tion to do with the qualification of a Congress
man ? And where is the friend of State-aid in
this hour of our country's need and pressure,.who
would ask to burthen his State's credit with S or
IU millions of debt, to aid at this unpropitious
time, works of internal improvement; however
meritorious. The most ardent State-aid man
would not ask it at this time.
But this editor, of Northern birth thinks Kenan
“superficial” and “tyrannical !” Well, I should
not wonder if Kenan ever gets hold of him in de
bate, (and 1 am told he did have some sparing
once in a political meeting in Milledgeville with
him) that he thought him a little unmanageable'. But
I am making my letter too long. I only wanted
lo let you know that we understand fully the "su
perficial mana-utering'' of the Yankee editor .'
whose arrogaut and impudent pretensions in at
tempting to criticise delegates and editors, aud
charging them with “indelicate dictation” for the
exercise of the privilege of recommending their
choice, deserves the rebuke of Southern freemen
—and will receive it in the 4th district.

To the I'oters of tlic Fourth Congressional District:
Fellow-Citizens:—I have permitted a few
friends lo use my name as an independent, anti-
caucus candidate, to represent your District in
the first Congress of the Confederate States of
America. Physical inability deprives me of the
pleasure of serving my country in a military ca
pacity: therefore, in obedience to the urgent so
licitations of the above mentioned friends, I have
consented to ask you for a civil position which
will enable me to take an active and useful part
iu our present, struggle for Southern independ
ence and Constitutional Liberty. And, if by your
votes on the first Wednesday in Nov. next you
should honor me with an election to the high po
sition sought, I pledge myself, as your representa
tive, to consume no time unnecessarily in speech
making, bat to address myself industriously, and
exclusively to the business of the country as it
may come before the House, and as much as in
me lies, to aid, by my votes and whatever of in
fluence I have, iu furnishing our President with
the men and means necessary to prosecute, xvith
vigor and energy, the war iu which we are en
gaged, to a speedy and successlul termination.
And in addition thereto, it is my purpose to assist
in devising, aud putting into operation, some
constitutional plan, to relieve onr people from
their present pecuniary embarrassments and dis
tress. My votes and influence shall be cast in
favor of every constitutional measure, which looks
either to the vigorous prosecution of the war, or
the general good of our country. Iflerr.it will
he of the head and not of the heart, for ‘my heart is
fixed’ to do right in the premises.
Your obedient servant,

Messrs. Editors: Allow me, through your col

the name of the Hon. William Gibson of R ; ch

dent of the Senate. H>> has served, as an efficient
member in both branches of the General Assem
bly, and possesses qualities, which tit him in an
eminent degree, for this high position, lot which,
so far as I know, he is not an aspirant. His
elevation to it would be hut an acknowledgement
ot his distinguished services as a Legislator.
