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. Be suit So voir. We hope every man in the Confederate States will come to the polls on the 1st Wednesday in November and vote for the Electoral ticket pledg ed to vote for Davis and Stephens for the first President aud Vice President of ltie Confelerate States of America. Let no tnan stay at home who can come to the polls. If a small vote is cast the Yankees will say that a large portion of the peo ple refused to vote because they were opposed to Da vis and Stephens Let us give our noble ticket a full vote and show the North that we are a united people, determined lo stand by our Govern ment against all its enemies foreign and domes tic.

We understand also, that the friends of Mr. Bigliam of Troup County, will support him for the same office They are both highly honorable and good men, given them. It accustoms them to home, and guff would probably, either of them make 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 doit cheerfully, because the public wants demand it. When peace returns to our hemes and farms, then the production of cotton will be both patriot ic and profitable. Until then, it is the part of wis dom. oi duty, of interest, of safety, to plant 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.

We fear that we have been troublesome of late to the literary and military Editor of the Recorder. In bis last number, he earnestly advises and per suades some one to kill us, before we shall have t : me to write any thing more. It we have annoy ed him. it certainly was his own fault. We nev er assailed him, or mentioned him in any way, until he thought fit to play the critic and the cen- s >r upon us, by the use of such epithets, as in our opinion, and in the opinion of others, was un worthy a place in any decent journal.

Field Peas.—The Governor of Alabama has issued his proclamation to the plan ters of that State requesting them to save all the peas possible, and put them up in two bushel sacks, for the use of the army. He also recommends them to save all the crab grass hay, and to bale it up, it will be wanted and there will be good sale for it. An ablr aud Fair view of the contending panic*. We make no apology for the space taken np by the following article from the Loudon Review. It is by far the ablest article we have seen from , for Judge Thomas in his absence at the war, pro nounce his charge to the Grand Jury. It was indeed a good thing.

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. Europe : neither has he made a throne for himself, I tuues out of the misfortunes of the country most effectually stripped the mask from the faces of those who are ostensibly libeial in their subscrip tions to the soldier, but who make many hundred per cent, upon those subscriptions by charging ike Napoleon I, or Victor Emanuel. He more than the Chief Magistrate of a republic, the administrator, not the fountain of law ; and no one owes him any greater loyalty or allegiance than, we, in this country, owe to a lord mayor or alderman elected by the people, or to a justice of: such enormous prices for the necessities of the the peace duly appointed by the sovereign. I Bt- j soldier. These Lincoluites in our midst are meet- people made him what he is. Any fealty they ... .. - „ . , , owe him is solely due to the position they gave \ in * tlle ja« execration of Governors, Judges, the him ; and it one section—say, for instance, that I P ress an d *l ,e people. 1 he brand has been placed of the North—chooses to invest him, in a fit ot upon them for all coming time, aud upon their 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 cannot see these things b< people are blinded by passion : but they are seen distinctly enough in the South and in the West, and are obvious and palpaple iu Europe to the meanest capacity. The North is in a fair way of losing far more than the unwilling—and, did it know its own in- 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. , NOLDIEBS’ RELIEF SOCIETY.

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 small gleaning from the classic field; urbane, po lite, courteous in his manner; preserving at the same time the dignity of the bench ; in social in tercourse tl gontleman in the fullest acceptation of the term, he apprehends more fully the duties of his office aud performs them more completely than any incumbent of the bench who has come under my observation. Oct. 17th, 1861. OCMULGEE. For the Southern Federal Union. 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. WILKINSON. For the Southern Federal Union. Hawkissville, Pulaski County, Ga., \ October 15th, 1861. ) 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, JAMES W. TRAWICK. ftcottsboro* Aid Society.
