[h following’ is the section offered by Mr : orth, the watchful and able member from | .« an amendment to the bill to transfer the troops, under consideratior on yesterday ; acceptance of a clause previously otFered by j; r L.-ste', cut off Mr Bloodworth’s proposition : - c 4th. That before any of sai l Treasury notes ,!.a,l he issued as aforesaid that it shall he the •\ of his Excellency the Governor to tender to President, or .Secretary of War of the Con f, i. rate States, the whole of the State troops . aided they can be accepted for the remainder the time, and for the service for which they favr enlisted, and if said troops cannot be ae r ..jiteiJ by reason of any regulations of the war .i-partment, that they may be disbanded and Lave m. honorable discharge. yviiifhcr nrc wc drifting f 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.

By the Charleston Mercury, we learn that the Plan ters on the seaboard of Carolina are destroying their entire crop# of cotton, lice Ac., even burn their dwel lings, gin houses, negro houses, and every thing else that the- \ ankeea could put to their own use. The invaders wid find that this spirit will not be confined to the coast. Everywhere the people of the South will exhibit the same self-sacrificing and patriotic spirit, when the exi- peaces of the ease demand it.

The announcement was received with hearty applause. 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. I am, very lespectlullv, vour ob t serv t, JOSEPH E. BROWN. II npliis. is indeed cheering to the heart of every pa- ia the Confederate States. Her bruve and true d people, under the lead of Price, McCulloch, - and other of her own generals, are rising nnd ning down liken mighty torrent upon the base inva rs. (leu’l.

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 « - of the blackest of the Northern Black Republi- farnrrnl Hvott. Tin* Richmond Dispatch very pointedly and trutli- * y says : General Scott, who was the chosen instru- • t driving the Southern leader* to death and ex- ", i> shout realizing iu his own person the fate lieex- 1 to he visited upon other*. He is about to depart ,r Europe, which, under the circumstance*, maybe * 'n.-: lured an involuntary exile.

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. CORRESPONDENCE. House of Representatives, ) Dec 3rd, 18bl. j His Excellency, Joseph E- Brown, Dear Sir: I have just received a letter from one of my constituents in wh'ch he says, that the seiz ure of salt under your order pi events him ftom purchasing any in Atlanta for his own use. i have 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? YVib you please reply so that I may inclose what you say by first mail, that my friend may see what is the truth and know that there is no diffi culty in his way in obtaining salt.

Dear .Sir: Your note has just been handed me, and in reply I state that you are entirely correct as to the object of the seizure of salt. My inten tion is to secure a supply for our Army, and to E revent speculators from holding large lots at ex orbitant prices, as well as to prevent tbe ship ment of salt out of tbe State till the final action Matters at Bowling Green.—We are pleased to learb from an a -quaintance, who left Bowling Green on Thursday evening, that the de 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.

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.

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.

General Price left Pineville outlie 25th. with the bal ance of the Confederate army, and was marching North ward to join General McCulloch. General Raines bad 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.
