Reports are in circulation, we know not wheth
er true or false, that the Legislature will net make
unv appropriations for the defence of the coast,
tut will turn over all of our volunteers who have
teen raised for the coast defence, to the Confeder-
iv Government. This is done under the plea
that it will save expense,; but this will turn out
i mistake Whenever this war shall come to an
t.d. the expenses incurred by each of the Confed
• rite ‘•tales for its defeuce, will all be assumed by
• • general government and will be paid off by a
( in 1110.1 tax upon the people of all the Confeder
ate States. So that if our volunteers for the coast
defence arc all turned over to the Confederate
givernnient. Georgia will stid have her propor-
i n to pay as much as if she paid hei own volun-
t.crs But will it be just td deceive these brave
m u, who rallied to defend our sea coast, under
the impression that they were to be under the
iimiand of Georgia officers, and to look to Geor
;ia tor their pay and support, now they have en-
.sted, to turn them over to the Confederate offi
r-, and compel them to look to the general gov
.nmentfor support and pity ? Will the gallant
Jackson and Walker consent to go back again
ticler the Confederate officers T Will the men
»ho volunteered at the call of the Governor ot
(ii-orgia, consent to be transferred to the Confed
• rate government, and will the Confederate
government protect Georgia from invasion ? Wi
ar not; the people of Georgia fear not. They
k tow that the government at Richmond has as
uch as they can attend to, nearer home, and
• ,.y elected Governor Brown on purpose to pro
tret Georgia from invasion. They know his en
gy, his iudustiy and his vigor, and they over-
• pptd the rule against a third term, and elected
in on purpose to meet this crisis ; because they
be leved that he could, better than any other man
protect Georgia. Now will our legislature take
means and the power to protect the (state, nui
of the hands of the veiy man the people have
cioven for tnat purpose, and turn them over to
T Oeral officers, whom the people of Georgia had
no hand in selecting, and over whom they havi
on control, because they are not responsible to
toe people of Geoigia for their conduct ? we hope
not.
!>o aulhoiil, at nil.
We hear that some of the members of the Leg
islature, are relying on an Ordinance passed by
t.ie late Georgia Stale Convention, for authority
t" transfer the State troops to the Confederate
Gnetnment. The Ordinance in question has the
f'Honing caption. “To transfer to the Govern
ment of the Confederate States certain arms and
umniiions cf war, and for other purposes.” Sec.
ton 1st is in these words; “That the control of
a.I military operations iu this State, having refer
ence to. or connection with, questions between
•ins State, or any of the Confederate States of
America, and powers foreign to them, is hereby
t'ansferred to the government of the Confederate
f'taus of America.”
N' w, any intelligent man will see at a glance
t iat this refers to questions between the State of
'■fergia and to other States, and not to the Con-
i ierate States government.

The Jlovciaicnt
Thus far the coast movement of the Yankees has
proved a failure. All that has been accomplished as
vet, is a more effectual blockade of Southern ports.—
Hut we constantly hear of vessels running the blockade
n spite of the. great fleet which has come down upon
>ur coast. The Mississippi fleet movement, is the nexj
>n the programme. That will fail, utterly fail, if Price
keeps his army close to the Missouri side of the Mis
sissippi, and Gen. Johusou keeps a close eye on the
and movements of the enemy, on the east side of the
river.
The X. Y. Herald is beginning todiscredit the. impor
tance of the fleet. The Editor says, nothing effectual
■an be accomplished, uutil the head of the rebellion,
neauingthe army in Virginia, is cut off. He says the
ebellion can not be put down so long as the rebel army
hreatens the very gates of Washington. We agree
with the Herald, but do not believe McClellan will give
battle.
Future political isolation* of the Norlli and
Month.
Mr. Ru-se'l, correspondent of the London 'l'nncs, iu
■iis last letter published iu this country, says : “The con
test over, new political relations maybe established,
nut France and England will not be more distinct.”
It mav be premature to say what those “political re-
ations” will be, after the war is over, or to discuss the
nerits of t he question. But it is not too soon to sa;,
hat it would be to the interest of the South to erect a
wall, not less impassable than that of the Chinese, be
tween the territory of the two governments. A great
lauger, we may say the greatest danger, which can
threaten the security and stability of the Confederate
States of America, will arise from an influx of Y ankees
by emigration. If the South was visited, for the flrsl
ten years after peace, with the yellow fever and chol
era, annually, not a hundreth part of the injury would
be entailed, upon her people, that would result in case
citizens of the North are permitted to come nnd live
tmongst us, for the ptypose of selling goods, running
Engines, overseeing Manufactories, teaching, or screw
ing money out of us in any other way. Talk not ot
naturalization laws. What do they care about voting,
when they can make money by ingenuity or trade.—
Disfranehisment would be a very small matter with
men who had a five cent piece so close to their eyes
that they could see nothing else. No, the true, the safe
policy is, ex cludr all by law. Allow no man who was
a citizen of the U. S., at the time peace is made, ever
to locate on Southern Soil. Unless tiiis is done by our
Congress, in six months after peace is declared, there
will be an exodus from Yankeedom that will put to the
blush anything the world ever saw. Our machine slioj s
will be tilled with adopted citizens, who will swear fea’-
tv to the Government, with as much readiness as did
the Yankee prisoners, who have, during the war, been
put on oath, and violated it iu two days afterwards-
Our colleges and schools, our towns and cities, aye, and
in a few years, our pulpits, will be tilled with the scions
of Ward Beecher stock. The onerous taxes at the
North, anti the general stagnation of business every
where at the North after the war closes, will drive thou
sands of the meanest Northerners into the South, unless
we close the doors in advance. Naturalization laws
will not reach the Yankees. Total, absolute, exclusion
is all that will.
; with the cold comfort of a blanket on a bed of
straw, we can risk our tender persons in a little
bracing a r. and for a short walk in the sun shine
Finally, 1 would most respectfully tender a few
suggestions to the mm of Putnam, you, who have
such a great interest involved, aside from having
offert d your sous iu your country 's cause. Now is
on the bill now before the legislature ou that point
It is not my object to interfere with the light ot
any citizen to purchase and carry to any place in
thaSrate any quantity of salt which he may ne-d
tor his own use. No order ot mine interferes with
the free exercise of this right. No doubt specu
lators have intentionally misrepresented the ob
the time to prove yourseives the “bone and sin-j ject of the seizure and the proposed action of the
legislature, and probably refused to sell to custom
ers. with a view to create a prejudice against the
action of the State authorities, while they have
held back their salt iu their cellars for still more
unreasonable prices.

The trial* of the Times.
Nearly a vear has passed over our heads since the War
began. We have suffered much—in the loss of friends
by disease and tin-missiles of the enemy—have endur
ed much ; hut how very little, compared with the suf
ferings and privations of our ancestors iu the first Y\ ar
of Independence. We have yet untold comforts, which
they had not. Our armies are well clothed apd supplied
with good medical attention in almost every section of
the country. In nothing do thousands of our people
feel the effects of the War now upon us, except in the
contributions made from their pockets. Without mon
ey, without clothing, without men, almost without hope-
for seven years did our forefathers fight for freedom,
against the tyranny of George the Fourth. In the
darkest hours of the Revolution, when the non-importa
tion act was advocated, the great nnd good Washington
said, “I think, at least, I hope, there is virtue enough
left among us to deny ourselves everything but the bare
necessaries oflife to accomplish our end.” Let us of
'61 remember the trials of the men of '76. and bear all
onr difficulties with the same patriotic fortitude that
carried them safely through the perils of the first birth.
EATONTON, Nov. 8th, 1861.
To the Members oj the Ladies Relief Society
of Eatonton and Putnam county :
It has been nearly six months since our society
was organized, and as we have failed to give the
monthly reports of our proceedings regularly, our
President has requested me to publish an ac
count of all woik done by onr society ; the pre
cise amount of clothing appropriated to each com
pany, in tine, to show what we have been doing.
Our report, we hope, will serve a two fold pur
pose. First, to inform you of what your united
of our laud. Y'uu have given generously
thus far, but you know the war is still raging and
without any hope of a speedy determination. Y'oii
admit that the soldiers should be well clothed, this
cannot be done without requisite means: the ne
cessities of the soldier increase with each day;
they apply to the Aid Societies, the society buy
the goods with the cash if they have it, it not, the
bills are suffered to go on credit, and what then ?
Either the people of their generosity, must come
to our assitauce or the coun'y will be taxed to pay
it. All feel sensibly, the stringency of the times,
yet there is no appeal from this state of things :
While the war is upon us. we are forei d to endure
it. i'be most sensible co rse in the emergency, is
to prepare our men tor tighting by giving them
warm and comfortable clothing. The ladies will
guarantee that the clothing is made, provided the
gentlemen luri.i.h the “where withal.” Then
don't ling your purses to your hearts and patheti-
cail say “I am broke, I have’nt a cent to give.”
We know von tcill come up nobiy and assist t’s in
our undertaking. Men of Putnam to the rescue.'
Respectfully, MARY E. REID,
Secretary Soldiers Belief Society, Eatonton, Ga.
For the Southern Federal Union.
The Two Warn.
I ask. Messrs. Editors, to be permitted, through
your columns, to call the attention ofthe people of
Georgia to the two wars now being waged in the
State ; one, by Lincoln and hi3 dastardly horde,
and the other, in the Legislature, upon Govek-
xok Brown
The first, alarming as it is, by the presence of a
naval force of great power off our coast, and the
landing of the enemy 's troops on Georgia soil, is
not more to be dreaded than the last, which, if
successfuly pursued, will place Georgia in a posi
tion < t absolute dependency upon the Confederate
Government; deprive her of the means and men to
defend herself from hostile invasion, and leave the
Chief Executive of the State powerless to pro
tect the homes and firesides of the people.
I will draw no picture of the condition of Sa
vannah and the Georgia coast. ; of tlies desolated
plantations of our seaboard : of removed and run
away slaves; of women and children seeking the
interior for safety. These are but the first and
hitter fruits of Lincoln's war, and it needs no ex-
liortaliou from ro3trmu or from pen to rouse every
valiant sou of Georgia to the intrepid discharge ol
every patriotic airty whicti such a state of things
must necessarily produce.
But with this cloud lowering upon Georgia,
what do we see proposed and enacting in our leg
islative halls ? First, a bill implying censure
upon Governor Brown, for ordering out troops for
the defence of the coast, and then < resolution to
turn over those troops, composed of youths, mid
die aged, and gray-headed men, that so gallantly
volunteered to serve on the coast for its defence,
to the Confederate military authorities there, who.
thus far, or until very recently, have displayed
anything but efficiency, if public sentiment can be
relied upon, or it the communications of the Gov
ernor to the legislature may be referred to for
farts
Had Governor Brown, after visiting the
coast in .September last, and seeing its deplorable
condition, failed to exercise the Constitutional as
well as patriotic duty, of ordering out the troops
for its defence, he would have been anathema
tised all over Georgia. Long and loud have been
the clamor of the people there, and appeal upon
appeal had been made to His Excellency for
troops. At the proper time, he called them out,
and now he is impliedly censured for doing so
by the bill which proposes their transfer to the
Confederate authorities .'
Again, it is proposed by resolution to turn over the
defence, of the trlatc, and the troops that invasion
may call to the field, to the Confederate military
authorities, in which event, the proposed military
appropriation of$5,01)0,060, is tube null and void,
and Georgia ttnuke other States of the Confeder
acy. is to play the ignoble part of dependence upon
the Confederate Government, for not only means
to protect her from invasion, but for officers to
lead Iter soldiers in defence of their ow n soil!
I attribute no improper motive to the General
Assembly of the State, in considering propositions
like these; hut I am convinced such a policy is but
carrying out the views of some of Gov. Brown’s
enemies, who desire to see him divested ot ail that
authority which is an attribute of the sovereignty
ol Georgai; a policy, which, if carried out by tlio
LegMatuie, will leave the Executive an empty
I reasttry, and our brave volunteers without officers
of their own selection to lead them to the field.
Will the people of Georgia submit to this ?
Look at Louisiana and Tennessee with their State
troops, and their gallant State officers to command
them, by tens of thousands in the field ! Why-
should Georgia then, be so bumilitated, and ho
lier own Legislature ? Why this war upon Guv.
Brown? Does not every man of common sense
know that the Confederate Government has its
hands more than full in providing for the general
defence; in maintaining itself at Manassas, in
Kentucky. Missouri, and elsewhere, and it must
hate State aid, when the State is invaded, in both
men and means ?
And is Georgia, the boasted “Empire State of
the South,” the first to dodge responsibility and
trade pecuniary sacrifice, and at a time too w hen
the enemy is upon her soil ? Is the true upon
Governor Brown thus to be put sued ? Forbid it
patriotism !
I ‘rust. Messrs Editors, that all such measures
will be defeated in the Legislature. Let us not
have tiro wens in Georgia; a political and a boody
one at the same time The first calls only for re
hake ; the last for every sacrifice at our hinds
The people demand this, and icae to those who, in
stigated by political animosity, or by any spirit
that savors of selfi-hness, fail to make every sac
rifice that genuine patriotism demands upon the
common altar of their State ! BRUTUS.
labor has accomplished for our soldier boys, and
r« at the North that were loudest in his praise, now also, to stimulate your energy in renew ed effort
r him with the bitterest of their denunciations. Hi. I for their comfort. Since our society has begun
its operations. (1st ot June.) 19-;> garments have
been made by the ladies of Eatonton and Putnam
county, less this amount of clothing, 827 garments
and 74 pair of socks have been sent up to the 1st
of October, to th Biown Rifles, who are now at
Roanoke Island, off the coast of North Carolina
The middle of October, in addition to the fore
going, weie also sent to them, 84 pair of coarse
pants. 47 pair of socks, 9 cotton shirts, 93 pair of
uniform pants, 93 overcoats. From some unac
countable detention our friends of the Rifles tail
ed to receive some of their boxes when due. We
since learned they have turned up all right We
hope the boys will not hold us responsible for the
delay : we completed the clothing at the appoint
ed time and acquit ourselves of all blame ; we
are disposed to lay the blame to the Railroads.
856 garments and 97 pair ot socks itave been sent
to the Putnam Light Infantry, who are now in
Western Virginia. We also forwarded to them a
box of hospital stores about the middle of Septem
ber. The next work proposed for our society, is
to make shirts for our mountain boys, who. from
accounts of several eye witnesses ate illy protect
ed front the severities of the bleak climate of
Western Y'irginia. Our third company, the Cal
houn Greys, who have so recently been ordered to
our coast, are also pensioners upon our time and
attention. Two days only, were allowed us to
sew for them, as they left rather hurriedly. Only
thirteen shirts were completed in that time; I
would assure Captain Phillips, however, of a fa
vorablo hearing in our society ; time allowed us.
we will devote our labor in behalf of the Calhoun
Greys. We h ’pe our report will be satisfactory
to all, as our society has endeavored in every in
stance, to meet the demands of our soldiers and
supply every necessity cheerfully and impartially.
The winter is now advancing, but I hope the
weather will not at all interrupt the operations of
our society- The demand always regulates the
supply, and as we hive an increased interest in
our woik. in the addition of other companies who
require to be fitted out, we should rot demur at
unpleasant weather, when by a little exertion, we
can overcome our laziness. Let us ‘right about,
and begin our work, regardless of weather or any
other hindrance; certainly if our fathers, broth
ers and friends can endure the winter campaign
trader as a man is blasted with infamy; military
|>mation, he had none to be hurt. And what is
digest of all this strange history of the career of
“ two men, they are advocates of tlio extreme

The Hiai’iiiuK ofColtoii.
The planters upon the .Southern coast, at all those
points which are exposed to the depredations of the
Yankee invaders are busily employed iu remov
ing their negroes to the interior and in burning
their cotton. The comparatively small quantity
of the staple which has fallen into the enemy’s
hands could have been destroyed by the proprie
tors tint for the confidence they felt in the ability
ol the slight fortifications in their neighborhood to
resist attack. The success of the Y ankees in their
attack upon Fort Royal has had a different eftect
from what they anticipated. Instead of opening a
port for Southern cotton, it has rendered it impos
sible that another bale of Southern cotton shall ev
er tall into their hands. Already the work of de
struction has commenced With a self-sacrificing
patriotism nobler than the courage ot the battle
field, the planters are applying the torch to the
rich product oftheir soil at every place where it is
iu danger of a visit from the enemy The mid
night sky on the seacoast of Carolina is lighted up
with the flames ofthe coveted treasure, and syste
matic arrangements have been made to convert it
into ashes universally, before it shall fall into the
invader’s bauds. All the Fire Zouaves of New
Y'urk cannot extinguish this great conflagration
The signal of their approach will be the signal for
the torch to he applied, and if the strong man must
fall, lie w ill pull down the pillars of the temple upon
j his persecutors and bury himself and them in a
i common ruin.
The Yankees do not understand the spirit of the
Southern people. They might as well attempt to
subjugate the winds as to conquer such a people
They have determined to sacrifice every worldly
possession on the altar of independence and liber
ty. They will never permit Yansee Generals to
wring from them either their rights, or, that which
the Y'attkees are alone fighting for, their commerce
They are not themselves dependent upgn cotton,
valuable as it is to them, and essential to the rest
ofthe world. They can give up the cultivation ot
cotton alt getlier, and still live in comfort and plen
ty. Their wonderful soil produces in boundless
abundance every variety of agricultural produc
tion. They can raise more than enough ot wheat,
corn, rye, oats, hay, to supply their own popula
tion. They will, in all probability, devote their
soil exclusively the next year to the cultivation of
the cereals, and whether the present crop shall be
available for the use ofthe world, depends entire
ly upon their own sovereign will and pleasure.—
The cotton is ready for the torch, and the torch is
ready for the cotton. The Y ankees have proved
themselves soccersful inventors of agricultural
machines, but when th-y employ the sword to
raise Southern staples, they make a blunder which
will destroy their commerce, ruin their cities, and
convert the subjugation of the South, even it it
could he accomplished, into their own financial and
political ruin.— Richmond Dispatch.

replied to him and have stated that in nty opinion,
the object bad in view by the seizure ot the salt
under your order, could not have been intended
to prevent tbe farmers aud others from purchasing
salt for their owu use. and that I have no doubt
he could buy salt iu Atlanta and other places with
out any difficulty. Am I right in this opinion?

fenses at that point are progressing in a moststa-
isfact.o r y manner. Gen. Johnson and Buckner,
while they itave preserved their eqninimity, have
still been energetic and laborious. I hey now have
an excellently armed well appointed army, suffi
ciently large in numbers to hold their position,
without fear of a successful flank movement,
against at least 6i».fl0l) men. The enemy only
have 50.0110, all told, between Green river and
Louisville.
The limber has been cut away for three or four
miles around Bowling Green, so as to give our
batteries a fair sweep at the Hessians and prevent
them from resorting to their fair favorite style of
warfare, i e. bush whacking.
The impression among some of our officers, we
learn, is that the main attack of the enntey will b“
made at Bowling Green and that the threatened
movement on Columbus is a mere feint.
At the time our informant left, a fight was
whispered of in military circles, as not very far
distant.—Memphis Appeal, 1st.

Our Forces in the Battle of Leesburg —Official —
The Richmond Whig, on the authority ot Lieui
Col. Jennifer, who commanded on the field gives
the following as the numbers of the Confederate
forces engaged in the battle of Lee-hurg—Cavalry.
70; Eighth Virginia Regiment, 3T5, 18th Missis
sippi, 5U0; 17th Mississippi, 6l)u; I3rh Mississippi,
(one company) 6t) making iu all l,6f)5!The loss of
the enemy was 2ul) killed; 500 wounded: 300
drowned; 692 privates and 24 officers prisoners,
making iu all 1,716! These figures show that the
enemy had a larger force put hors du combat than
the whole number of the Confederate troops
engaged.
AFFAIRS ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
Memphis, Dec. 3.—On Sunday last the Federal
gunboats came in sight of Columbus. Five Con
federate gunboats immediately gaye them chase
for some miles, but did not succeed in capturing
any ot them. The Confederate steamer Grampus
captured a lumber boat near Bird's Point ou Fri
day last, with 175,000 feet ot lumber on board.—
Tbe Federalists have sent twelve boats with troops
from Cairo and Paducah to St. Louts.
LATEST FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA.
Nashville, Dec 3 —A gentleman who has just
arrived here from the army in Western Yirgina,
says that the campaign in that region is virtually
ended for the winter. The nature of the country,
the want of forage and subsistence, and the con
dition of the roads render any aggressive move
ment, by either party, impracticable?
Gen. Floyd has (alien back to a point within 3J
miles ofthe Virginia and East Tennessee Railroad
while Gen. Luring still holds his position near
Cheat Mountain. It has already been announced
that the enemy had withdrawn six regiments
from Western Virginia, and sent them to Ken
tucky.
Arrival of the Xashcilte in Europe.—Richmond,
Dec. 4—Intelligence has been received that the
steamer Nashville has arrived at Southampton
and the Confederate flag floats in British waters.
The Nashville captured and burnt a large Y'aukee
ship on her passage.
Important from Knot TrnncKwr!
The Insurrection Renewed!—The Traitors Attack
our Troops !—The Confereratcs Repulsed !
We have information that on yesterday a large body
of Unionists attacked an inferior force of Confederates
at Morristown, East Tennessee, killing a number ofthe
latter, the balance being compelled to retire before the
superior force ofthe enemy. There is intense excite
ment, aud it appears as if the reOelliou, which was sup
posed to be quelled, lias broken out with increased vir-
ntence. Nothing but summary vengeance will repress
the Lincoln incendiaries of East Tennessee They ure
possessed with the demon spirit, and controlled by the
counsels of those arch traitors, Johnson and Maynard.
We have also information of the arrival of Ma
jor General George Crittenden, at Knoxville, to
take command of the, Confederate forces iu East
Tennessee and Southern Kentucky. His arrival
at this juncture is most opporrue. He was an
officer high in rank and distinction in the old ar
my. He has seen much active service, and is
possessed of that indomitable vigor and courage,
as well as though military knowledge and gener
alship, so necessary to cope with the formidable
rebellion ofthe Lincolmtes in East Tennessee.
They will find in him an opponent who will drive
them like chaff before the wind. YVe are truly
fortunate in securiug for important commands the
best officers in the old Federal army. G--n. Crit
tenden is the eldest son of John J. Crittenden, but
unlike bis father and brother, is true to the cause
of the South.— Memphis Avalanche '2d.
Valuable ICecipe fur soldiers.
In the Southern Confederacy baeor and pork will be
propably difficult to procure. Salt beef is in reality
preferable, but it requires more care iu preparation.
Before cooking it should be soaked in water at least
twelve hours, then boiled slowly until the flesh leaves
the bone. The meat should then be taken out of the
vessel, pulled to pieces, the fat and lean well mixed
together, and put into a conical tub, the apex down
ward. The liquid in the vessel in which the meat was
boiled should then be boiled down to a gravy, seasoned
with red pepper and sage, and while hot poured over
the meat. When the whole has become cold.it can
beserved to the soldier, and eaten cold or broiled or
fried iu batter, as he may choose.
Beef prepared in this way is palatable, wholesome,
aud there is no waste; will keep a week; it is very
strengthing, is easily digested, and will not produce
diarehu-a. We hope this plan will have a trial from
our officers, who ought to exert themselves to save
our brave volunteers from sickness and the ills conse
quent upon bad cookery.
AN OLD SOLDIER.
PROBABLE ATTACIv"ON THE EVANSPORT
BATTERIES.
Richmond, Dec. 5.—The Richmond Examiner, of this
morning, says that a dispatch from a “reliable” source
has been received in ( ffieial quarters, which states
that the Federal flotilla recently concentrated at Old
Poini, has passad up the Potomac river, and that,
doubtless, an attack is contemplated on Evansport and
Centreviile.
AFFAIRS ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
Memphis,Tenn., Dec. 5.—On Sunday last three
Confederate gunboats went tip the river within gun
shot of Cairo,and fired fifteen rounds at Fort Ilolt
The Federalists scampered out of their tents, and
would not fight. One gunboat is anchored in the chan
nel below Cairo, aud the -Marie Denning is at the
wharf.
1 peace aud acknowledgment of our rights. A few mol’s
affairs like those at Leesburg, Belmont, and Piketou,
and n few more stampedes like the last from Loudon to
Crab Orchard, and the work is done. All our absent
heroes can return from the wars by spring. These now
at home can hasten their return, by a few weeks of
sharp and energetic woik. Therewurd is worthy ofthe
sacrifice.— futon \ American.
Patriotic Work of a Georgia Lady.—We under
stand that .Mrs. John R. Stanford, of Clarksville, Geor
gia, has presented to the President a blanket shawl,
woven bv her, from wool wiiich she also carded and
spun. The shawl is an excellent one—as fine in tex
ture, and ns heavy as any made by the most celebrated
shawl manufactures.
•Mrs. Stanford lias, we learn, furnished shawls of the
same description, all the work of her own hands, to an
entire company of Georgia volunteers now in service
in Virginia; and she is still employed in making others,
with the benevolent purpose ot presenting them to sol
diers in the field.
As an evidence of our growing independence of for
eign looms, and of tile generous patriotism for which the
ladies of the South are so i.istinguished, Mrs Stanford’s
work is entitled to grateful notice.—Rich. Examin-r.

AFFAIRS IN MISSOURI.
Memphis. Tenn., Dec. 4.—A special dispatch to the

Nov. 29th, reports that Gen. McCulloch was rnoviug,
with a large force, on that place.
A special dispatch to the St. Louis Republican.
dated at Rolla, Mo., Nov. 27th, says that General
.McCulloch regards the retrogade movement of the Fed-
ei al army as an attempt to get in bis rear. Gen
McCulloch was encamped at Springfield with a force
ot 4,000 men.
General Raines bad left Sarcoxieou the 25th, to
join General McCulloch, with a force of 7,000 men.
General Price left Pineville outlie 25th. with the bal
ance of the Confederate army, and was marching North

destroyed everything to prevent the Federalists from
getting iu his rear.
Wiadoin and Patriotism.
YY' e are proud of our glorious State. Tennessee is re
sponding, in the spirit that should animate her sous—to
the call ofthe Governor for more troops to beat back
the invaders.
Lincoln can obtain no foothold iu the home of the
Hickories. We are satisfied that many more men than
are called for, will volunteer, and that there will be no
necessity for employing the militia iu the present emer
gency Two fine companies came iu from Rutherford
yesterday and proceeded to camp Trousdale, and others
are expected from tbe same county, to follow immedi
ately. Our city is alive with the military spirit. Old
men and young, clergy and laity, are turning out at the
call oftheir country. Out of a company ot militia, iu
this county, Col. Y'aughn's regiment, composed of sev
enty-five men, seventy vesteruay volunteered. YY’e un
derstand that severalufihe surrounding oouutiesare all
ablaze with patriotic enthusiasm to march to tbe de-
fenceof the menaced country.
There is wisdom aswell as patriotism iu this deter
mination of the gallant people of the State. There is
economy ir time, money and men, iu making a bold and
dashing fight. If our fighting men will come out uow
en masse, we can, in sixty days, virtually close the
war. Two or three splendid victories, which we can
win, if the present throe in the field is properly backed
up, willl send the Hessians howling back to their dens.
They have put forth all their energieeand means into
this raid on Kentucky and Tennessee, and if they fail,
which they assuredly* will, Dow that Tennessee pluck is
fully aroused, the bankers of the North will withhold
money from them—the investment already made will be
lost, and no more men or money can be had. Their
means will be exhausted.
Tbe enthusiasm with which our volunteers are flock
ing in will assure our Generals tnat there is an abun
dance of fight Dg material here, able and ready to de
fend our homes, and allow them to use their splendid ar
mies, now in the field, for aggressive movements on
the foe. Two month’s of the right sort of work note we
repeat, will virtually end the war. It will break the
back bone of invasion, if it does Dot coerce a treaty of
