METAL FOR HEAVY ORDNANCE.
The New Orleans Catholic Standard seys
that iron is used for heavy guns, and that for
this species of ordnance we should look else
where thau to church bells. It suggests that
should there be a scarcity of iron no time will
be lost in stripping the entire city of New Or
leans of its iron verandahs, balconies, fences,
railings, window caps, columns, store fronts,
water plugs, lamp posts, bridges, &c., for cast
ing into At the same time, it states
that if bell metal is needed for carting into
light artillery, every Catholic Church bell in
the diocese of Now Orleans will be at the dis
posal of the Government. This suggestion for
a supply of iron is a good one, and may pos
sibly be resorted to, not at New Orleans alone,
but to tome extent in all our cities, although
cast iron is not the most desirable kind for the
work. There is already serious complaint of
the growing scarcity of iron, and we hear of no
now iron mines being opened. On the con
trary, we hear of reduced force being used at
those in operation, and others not worked at
all. A correspondent of the Atlanta Confeder
acy, writing from Rome, Geo., states that ‘'the
iron works in Cherokee, Ala., are about to sus
pend for want of bacon. ’’ Can any fact be
more impressive than this of the necessity upon
our farming interest to devote all their ener
gies to the raising of provisions ?

AMENITIES OF THE WAR
The New Orleans Picayune has been furnished
with the following copies of letters addressed by
Lieut. Col. Wood and Capt. Morgan, of the Con®
federate army, to Gen. Buell, of the Lincoln
forces, at Nashville, and to the editor of the
Louisville Journal- Capt. Robert C. Wood. Jr.,
s a grandson of ‘ Old Zach,” and a young officer
who has done duty in Texas. Who Captain
Morgan is, is getting to be pretty well known in
Tennessee, about these limes. The letters are
certainly models in their way:
Gallatin, Tenn., March 17, 1862.
Gen. Bcell— An opportunity offering here of
communicating directly with you, we gladly avail
ourselves of it for the purpose of thanking you
for the kind, courteous and manly reception with
which you honored us but a few days since. We
look back to our visit to the Asylum as one of the
most agreeable reminiscences of the war.
Entertaining some doubt as to the accuracy of
the information given us, regarding the aspect of
affiirs generally in the West, we have ridden
over to this place to obtain the latest advices. 11
any mischief has been committed here, or prop
erty destroyed, we beg leave to assure you it was
occasioned by military necessity. We had in
tended paying you a visit within the next few
days, but upon reflection we concluded to try
some less wide-awake commander. We should
Ike Gen. Buell to know that though we have pos
session of this city, the citizens will not be in the
slightest degree interfered with, or prevented
from pursuing their ordinary avocations.
Before we advance upon Nashville, we purpose
notifying Gen. Buell, in order that he may make
such provisions for the safety of the women and
children as humanity would suggest.
Robt. C. Wood, Jr.,
John H. Morgan,
Confed. Cavalry.
Gallatin, Tenn., March 17, 1862.
G. D. Prentice, Louisville, Ky.:
Sir —We beg to express our disappointment at
not meeting you here, as we had anticipated, and
to assure that better luck will crown our efforts
at some future time. We trust that will not
long delay your proposed trip to Nashville, as
this would pet us to the inconvenience of visiting
Louisville. All well in Dixie, and send their
kindest regards. Truly,

CONVENTION OF THE PLANTERS OF LIN
COLN COUNTY.
At a convention of a portion of the Planters of
Lincoln county, held at Lincolnton this first day
of April, Eliel Lockhart was appointed Chairman
and M. Hawes Secretary. The object of the con®
vention was stated by the Chairman to be to take
into consideration the propriety of planting large
provision crops and little or no cotton.
After a free interchange of opinions among
many influential citizens and large planters, on
motion of P. W. Sale, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
We, a portion of the planters of Lincoln county,
in general convention assembled, believing it to
be the true policy of the South to plant large pro
vision crops, to the almost entire exclusion of cot
ton, do therefore,
Retolw, That we will plant a large breadth of
land in said crops -and devote only such breadth
of land to cotton as will suffice for our domestic
consumption, so as to have no surplus to carry to
market.
Resolved, That we hereby urge the planters of
all the Cotton States to adopt the same policy.
On motion of A. Hearnsberger, Sr., the Secre
tary was instructed to forward a copy of these
proceedings to the Chronicle & Sentinel and Con
titirtionalist, with request to publish, and that
[1 the papers in the State be requested to copy.
The convention then adjourned.
Eliel Lockhart, Chairman.
. Hawes, Secretary.
The 44th Regiment, Colonel Smith, passe
through this city to-day, on their way to North
Carolina.
□The Missing Boat op the Vanderbilt.—lntel*
bgenec has been received that the missing boat o*
the lost steamer Vanderbilt was picked up by the
Federal war steamer Vincent, and that the crew
and passengers were all saved. We further learn
that a flag of truce would probably visit the ves
sel to-day to recover the child which became sep
arated from its parents who were in the other
boat, and were almost miraculously saved from a
watery grave.— Mobile Regieter.
Scrap of History.—“ During the Revolu
tionary war, General Lafayette being in Bal
timore, was invited to a ball. He went as
requested, but instead of joining the amuse
ment as might have been expected of a young
Frenchman of twenty-two, he addressed the
ladies thus :
•• Ladies, you are very handsome; you
dance very prettily; your ball is very fine—
but my soldiers have no shirts!”
This was irresistible. The ball ceased; the
ladies went home and went to work, and the
next day a number of shirts were prepared by
the fairest hands of Baltimore for the gallant
defenders of their country.”
Idleness is the “Dead Sea” that swallows
all the virtues.
PRESIDENT DAVIS AMONG THE SOLDIERS-
The Richmond Wniy says that ou Sunday the
President visited the wounded soldiers at one of
the hospitals, and expressed warm sympathy for
the unfortunate sufferers. Addressing the other
soldiers, he said he intended to share their fate
oa the next battle field-come weal or woe, he
would be with them—and whatever might betide,
whether victory or defeat ensued, of one thing t
assured them—"the cause is safe ;we will conquer
in the end.” The address was very brief, but the
effect was magical; putting the soldiers, who
were somewhat depressed by the accident, in g oa
rious spirits.
What Virginia has Done —We have it from
good authority that, since the commencement of
this war, the Commonwealth of Virginia has
furnished arms and armament sufficient to equip
90,000 men. This ik exclusive of arms capture
at Norfolk or Harper’s Ferry’ Virginia has done
her part well, and it is time that her revi ers
should cease their slanderous slang.
WHERE IS THE VIRGINIA ?
This question is frequently asked, and some
of the papers have manifested considerable im
patience to have it answered. The Richmond
Enquirer thus relieves the public curiosity ■
The Virginia is this day the protection of
Norfolk and Portsmouth, and of Richmond.
The Monitor, unopposed bv her, could not be
arrested by our batteries. Not only these im
portant cities, but the great military interests
connected with them, the magnitude of which
we need not do more than allude to, would be
exposed to extreme disasters if the V irginia
should be lost and the Monitor remain.
Ovr New Governors.—The New York Herald
says, in the event of the passage ofthe bill agreed
upon by the territorial committees in both
branches of Congress, to reduce the rebel dis’’
tricts, as fast as they are conquered, to the condi
tion of territories, and put them through a rudi
mental course of government, there wil' be a host
of aspirants for the governmental chairs of the
different territories. The most prominent candis
dates now talked of are: ' p
For the Governor of the territory of South
Carolina, Charles Sumner ; Mississippi, John P.
Hale; Texas, Henry Wilson; Louisians, Wm.j P.
Fessenden; Georgia, John Sherman; Flor da,
Henrv L. Dawes; Ala., Martin F. Conway ; Arkan
sas, Jim Lane ; North Carolina, Roscoe Conkling;
Tennessee. Ben. F.Wade ; Virginia, Owen Love
joy ; Ship Island, John B. Alley; and Torjugas,
John Hickman.
We understand that the Mayor of Washington
N. C., whose name is said to be Respass, has
been arrested on suspicion of having been in
commnuication with the enemy.
The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, has raised its
price cf subscription from $5 to SB.
Blackwood’s M.a,gatine, of February assumes
that a war between the United Slates and Great
Britain will take place before 1863, and welcomes
it with satisfaction.
[COMMUNICATED.]
Monticello, April Ist, 1862.
A large and respectable portion of the planters
of Jasper, having assembled to-day at the Court
House, in Monticello, the meeting was organized
by calling Judge A. W. Lane to the chair, and
appointing Mr. H. Hutchison, Secretary. The
object of the meeting having been stated by the
Chairman, in a few appropriate and eloquent res
marks. General John W. Burney, after making a
patriotic and stirring appeal, submitted the fol
lowing resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Ist. Reaolvm, That in consequence of the fact
that Georgia is in danger of invasion by the enemy,
who have taken possession of States from which
we have heretofore supplied ourselves with artu
cles of provisions in times of necessity, and that
the production of cotton, at the present time, is
of but little value to the grower, and will proba
bly continue so during the war, we pledge our
selves to each other to plant but little cotton the
present year, but will put the most of our culti
vatable land in corn and other productions, with
which we can feed our families, and our army,
whilst in the field, fighting our battles; and that
we recommend to our brother planters in the
cotton section of Georgia, to pursue the same
course. We also recommend that all surplus
provisions amongst us be kept at home to supply
such of the people cf the county as may' be deffo
cient therein.
Resolved 2-i, That the legions of Lincolnites
commanded by McClellan, Burnside, and others,
are now engaged in attempting to subjugate our
country, and apparently waiting for our twelve
and six months volunteers to return home, that
they may make their attacks more deadly and de
structive. We, therefore, respectfully vnd earn
estly call on our volunteers now in the field, and
particularly the unmarried portion, who have no
wives and children at home, to require their pro
tection, to re-enlist where they may be sta
tioned, at the expiration of their time of service—
that they may have the glory of driving back the
Northern Hessiansjfrom Southern soil. And we
recommend fathers and mothers, and all others
having influence, to use their best efforts, by corn
respondence, or otherwise if need be, to effect the
object desired. Surely the brave volunteers of
Georgia will not quit the field at the present time
with the enemy’s face to them, and before they
have a chance to make their mark on the foes of
their country. '
Resolved Zd, That, as there are some three or
four thousand sick and wounded soldiers of the
Confederate army in the Hospital at Atlanta cry
ing for the aid of our people ; we pledge our
selves to giue help, and entreat the people cf
Jasper to lend a willing hand by contributions in
money, clothing, and other necessaries for said
Hospital.
Resolved 4tfi, That a copy of these proceedings,
or so much as relates to our volunteers, be for
warded by the Secretary to the officers and pri
vates now in service from Jasper county.
On motion, ordered that the proceedings of this
meeting be published.
A. W. LANE, Chairman.
M. H. Hutchinson, Secretary.
Stilesboro’, Ga., April Bth, 1862.
Mr. Editor: You will please insert the foU
lowing in your daily :
A large meeting of cotton planters, from Paul
ding, Polk, and Bartow counties, was held on the
4th inst., at Stilesboro’, Ga., when the following
preamble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, We are deeply impressed with the
importance jf unanimity and concert of action
among the planters of the cotton growing Skates,
to whom our Government is looking for future
supplies of provisions—the grain growing States
having been overrun by our enemies-and being
fully convinced that the great issue pending be
tween the North and South, is measurably de®
pendent upon the patriotic efforts of the cotton
planters to meet these reasonable expectations—
be it therefore
Resolved, 1. That we not only cheerfully per
form our part in the great struggle, but pledge
ourselves to bend our every energy to the work
of raising provision to the exclusion ot cotton,
save one acre to each faraiy for domestic use.
Resolved 2d, That to forestall the unprincipled,
and those loving money-making better than lib
erty or country, we earnestly recommend to> our
next Legislature to levy a tax of twenty-five dol
lars upon every bale of cotton raised this year in
our Slate for sal p . . ..
Resolved ith, That we discountenance extortion
generally, and especia'ly in the prime necessaries
of life ; commending those having a B “JP k ’ s to
sell who will give the families of the absent
soldiers and needy neighbor a preference at mod.
era'e prices, rather than to realize Urge prices
from she extortioner.

THE LATE GENERAL A- SIDNEY JOHNSTON.
The Savannah A’ itw very pertinently remarks
that the general joy octasioned by the news of
the glorious victory achieved over the enemy
Corinth, is dashed with deep sorrow for fbe loss
of the heroic Johnston. There is something
painful, too, in ibe thought that perhaps he was
goaded to an imprudent exposure of his life, by 1
the unjust and illiberal criticism which has been
so freely direde< against him of late, by a class
of editors who restrained neither by a sense
of justice or decency, nor a regard for the public
interests, from veutilating their egotism and ex
hibiting their talent tor flippant abuse of public
men. Among the evils which this war has
brought in its train, is the opportunity which it
has given to ignorant charlatans, and malignant
and unscrupulous partisan editors to misrepresent
the acts and impugn the motives o’s public men,
whose policy they have not the sagacity to com
prehend, or whose achievements may not at all
times meet the public expectation, however ex
travagant and unreasonable. No one among our
military commandets has been more grossly as
sailed or more unjustly blamed then the lamented
Johnston. Some of his detractors have of late
been compelled to recant their unjust imputa
tions.
The Richmond Dispatch, in an editorial on this
subject, written previous to the news of the death
of Gen. Johnston, says:
“ We are glad to see a disposition in the South
ern press to retract the hard things that have
been said of the late Commander-in-chief in the
Southwest. We have always heard that Gen. A.
S. Johnston had no superior as a military leader
V 3 me old United States army. Noons doubts his
ndehty to the South, and we cannot see why he
should be singled out as the scape-goat to bear
the responsibility of ail our misfortunes in the

erais, when they demand that, without sufficient
means and men, they should hold their positions

at the Southern army now contains the very best
officers of the old service, and that Gen. A. S.
do nston has no superior among them. Popular
c amor is often cruel and unjust, as the history of
a .> Wa T 8 ’ ’ n t ' le ® W° r ld and the New abund
y The people know nothing of
e difficulties which surround our army, and
make no allowance for our inferiority to the ene

lully satisfied, however, that General Johnston
win yet vindicate his ancient fame, and that, in
any event, he will exhibit the serene self-posses
sion and invincible composure of his heroic name
sake on the Potomac, who never permits the vox
populi to disturb his plans, but calmly leaves
events to argue his cause.

Beauregard’s Call for Bells. —The New Or
leans True Delta publishes the following letter
from General Beauregard to the pastor of St.
Patrick’s Church, in that city:
Jackson, Tenn.. March 20, 1862.
Dear Father; Your favor ot March 14 th has just
been received.
The call which I made on the planters of toe
Mississippi Valley, to contribute the bells from
their plantations to be cast into cannon, is being
so promptly met that 1 am in hopes of kein K
spared the necessity of depriving our churches ot
any of their sacred appendages. ,
Our wives and children have been accustome
to the call, and would miss the tones, ot t e
“church going bell.” But if there is no.altern
tive we must make the sacrifice: and should 1
need it, I will avail myself of your offer to cons
tribute the bell of St. Patrick’s Church, that it
may rebuke, with a tongue of fire, the vandais,
who, in this war, have polluted God s altar. U
me thank you for the expression of kindness ana
retard towards myselt, with which your letter
abounds. I can only hone that the day is not-fa
distant when peace will once more bless our
country, and 1 shall visit again a quiet home.
I remain, very truly, yours,
G. T. Beauregard, General Commanding.
Father Mullon, St. Patrick’s Church, N. O’
