On last Thursday, this section was biessed
with a glorious rain. The corn crop is now safe,
potatoes, peas, and vegetab’es of all kinds, are in a
flourishing condition. God be thanked for this time
ly rain.
Tlir price of Provision*, must conic down.
From every portion of the Confederate States
that we can hear, the crops are very promising
except iu a small portion of upper Georgia. This
exception is so small as scarcely to be felt lhe
prospect is now fair tiiat many millions of bushels
more of corn and potatoes, peas, «Yc.. will be
raised this year than was ever produced before in
one year. This great abundance of food will
make plenty of Beef and Pork, lhe question im
mediately arises, why amidst this abundance
should provisions remain at such exorbitant -
rates? When men are offering to engage thou
sands ot bushels of corn at “25 cents per "bushel,
when the present crop ripens, why should corn
still be selling at such extravagant prices ! Why
will those tbat have plenty of old corn, still hold
on to it with a death grasp f It really appears as
if some of our planters would rather the rats
should eat their corn or that it should rot on their
hands, than, their starving neighbors should
have it at less than two dollars per bushel. These
things will be remembered for many years to
come. There is no necessity cause for this ex
travagant price of provisions, and all the combin
ations of speculators cannot long keep them at
their present rates. Let those who have corn for
sale be content now to take a reasonable price
whilst they can get it.
Will the North give up the War <
Since the defeat of McClellan before Richmond,
this question is-asked by every body. W e know
the people of the North are sick of this War, and
would be glad to see it terminate; but the people
and tl e President are not of the same mind. The
President and the Administration have got to bear
the responsibility of begining the War and if
they tail to carry it through to a successful issue,
they have to bear the additional responsibility of
waging a fruitless war—not fruitless to them,
however, fora national debt will spring out of it
which will grind to dust three generations of their
p.-ople. Lincoln, if he gives up the War. Acteon
like, will he destroyed by his own dogs. A wave
of popular fury would sweep every vestige of
Black Republicanism from the North, and the
leaders in the ianatical War would be lucky in
deed if they escaped with their lives Tliere is
it settied; that where a revolution is inaugrated
under circumstances w here success seems proba
ble, it may become the duty of every citizen to
yield allegiance to the new government, and
where there is ouiy a reasonable piobability of
success, such support to a new government is not
a felony wInch would subject them to imprison
ment and death, or confiscation.
It was not right to visit severe punishment on
men for doing what they conscientiously believed
to he right. A large mass of these men at tin*
South believe that they have t
(hey owe allegiance to the State
ernmeut, and they had always given great weight
to the former—Humanitycharity, and all the
usages of the civilized world cry out against a se
vere punishment to those who yield allegiance to
government defuetu where a government de jure
ceased to protect them or have any power.
He denied that there was any justification or
cause for the present resolution, lie admitted
the right of the government to prevent the seces
sion of any State, but such right was not deri
ved from any authority in Constitution, but from
the right, of seif preservation. He thought that if
there bad been no slavery in the Southern States
there never would have been any confiscation
bills. The passage of this bill will only tend to
prolong the war and make the scpaiation com
plete.

the destruction of grain was then*being earned,
made it necessary that some action be taken to

Tha Commissioners and Treasurers of the ‘La
dies’ Association for tiie construction of a ‘Gun
boat,’ or »n iron-clad Floating Battery, for the de
fence of the harbor of 8avaiiiiah, having comple
ted the work entrusted to them, beg leave to make
tbe following report:
They ijere induced to give the preference to a
‘Floating Battery with propellers,’ over a ‘Gun
boat,’ as being more readily constructed with the
means at their command, and also as being more
efficient under the present condition of the river.
Tne Floating Battery is now ready for any service
that may be required, and it has been pronounced
by military and naval men of intelligence as a
complete success.
To your patriotic and noble efforts. Ladies of
Georgia, is thr port of the city of Savannah in
debted for this powertui engine for its defence
against the hateiul toes who are committing dep
redations upon our defenceless coasts. Could it
have been completed before the capture of Fort
Pulaski, the loss ot that fortress would not have
occurred. We believe it" the enemy should now-
attempt an attack by water, they will meet with
such a reception from the powertui guns of ‘The
Georgia Ladies’ Iron-clad Battery as will con
vince them that a country where the women arc
so decidedly intent upon resistance, cannot be
conquered.
To the officers of the army, engineers, media
ics and other citizens, who have so faithfully su
perintended and labored, some of them gratuitous
ly, to bring the Battery to its completion, we ten
der our thanks.
In transferring to the Navy Department the con
trol of* the Battery and appurtenances, the right
was reserved by us to select a commander from
the officers of the Confederate Stares Navy.—
Lieut. J. Pembroke Jones, of the State of Vir
ginia, having been warmly reccouiraended as pos
sessing tbe requisite qualities lor such a command,
was selected, and immediately commissioned by
the Navy Department.
The armament of the “Georgia” conristsof ten
guns cf large calibre. It had been our wish to
name each ot these guns for a lady, aud have the
names painted thereon, but it was found so diffi
cult to make selections w here all were entitled to
distinction for their devotion to tho righteous
cause in which we are engaged, it was, therefore,
thought best to name the guns for the cities and
counties of the State from whence the largest do
nations hau been received. The names are as
follows :
Augusta, Savannah, Macon, Columbus, Athens,
Grijfiu, llilkes, Milledgeville, Thotitascille, Sma
lt r.
As soon as ail the bills for the construction of
the Battery shall have been settled and paid off",
the Treasurers will furnish their account of ttie
receipts and expenditures.
