J Mr. Editor: A few days ago I had the plea sure of visiting 1 ort Pulaski, and saw a great j many tilings there that would iuterest your rea- I crs - And while I refrain from giving them the pauiculars in detail, I hope I shall be con sidered excusable, when I say that much of our ; success depends upon the importance of keep j ing our own counsel. To my friends in the Southwestern, part of ; the State, I would say, rest secure. sFcrt Pu laski can never be taken by Lincoln’s horde! But, while I make this gratuitous declaration, ! I would not have your energies relaxed nor your patriotism cooled in the smallest particu- 1 Jar. V e shall need all the men and money j you can spare for the successful termination of this unjust—this unholy war. It is my opin ion that Lineolu’s fleet will never attack Sa vannah. Hhey have raised their moorings from off Tybee bar and have gone to parts unknown. They doubtless have gained information rela tive to our strength and security of the Fort, and have abandoned the idea of venturing an O attack. Our boys feel somewhat depressed in spirit at such intelligence. They had hoped for the opportunity of an engagement with the enemy, but from the manner in which things are now working they apprehend a disappoint ment. I am desirous to witness an commc- O O ment, tu see how well our Southwestern boys will acquit themselves. ’Tis true w r e had some demonstrations of their valor in the Port Iloyal affair: but it is an admitted fact that that was mm -4 an unequal contest. The wild confusion in which our soldiers retreated, and some of the men getting last from their respective compa nies, was evidently the promptings of. instinct, and,“in my opinion, fully justifiable! \V hile at the Fort I saw three veritable living Yankees! Thev were mounted on fine looking horses. So great an apprehension did they have from the guns of the Fort, that they rode a distance of about fifty yards from each other —not in a walk, but in a sweeping gallop! I suppose their distance from us must have been about two and a half miles. We couU not shell them with any accuracy, for their gait was out of all reason. Since writing the above I have been inform-’ ed that the enemy have been driving in the nickels on'tlie South Carolina shores. IT this be true, and the report t-eems to be authentic, we will have work to do in a little while.

M. E. Clisby, Secretary. [cosfMi'sic vrjJb,] Mr. Editor: Permit me to say a word to your faithful and poetic correspondent, “ArLo rest,” whose multifarious productions have so often sought a place in your columns. His present nom de guerre does not deceive any one, for, like the Irishman’s bee, he’s changed his dress but we know bis voice, which possesses no diversity or -cadence with which it ean de ceive. “Arborist” is too much concerned in the downfall of those at home, wham his own caprice or folly have made repugnant. The Savannah ladies are not more hurt by his pu erile malignity than are the people of this coun ty influenced by his sage advice as to how they should vote. Briefly : “Arborist’s” elaborate nonsense is a studied though unsuccessful at tack against one who is yet writhing under the ! pamrs of a Providential calamity. It is, there fore, ilitimed and in bad taste. Better vial j his venom to vent on veritable vandals. Bill Green. Coftaa Piaßlrre’ Rank. Among the measures passed by the late Le gislature was one tor the t barter of the Cot ton Planters’ Bank, an institution upon a wholly new basis—values instead of fixed rep resentation of values. The Act (should it re ceive the Governor’s signature) allows stock to be taken and paid for in cotton at §3O per bale for Uplands, or §45 per bale for Sea Islands. — The mother bank is to be located at Thomas ville. and tfcc bill authorizes the establishment ; of-branches wherever they may be needed. We hope the institution may succeed, but we are rather inclined to the opinion that it will prove an up-hill business. It is difficult to inspire public confidence in issues that de ! pend on so fluctuating a basis as agricultural produce. Though we have not read the bill as passed, and must reserve comment until it i pball have come to hand. — Sav. Hep. THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 25, 18(51. THE LATEST NEWS. HIGHLY IMPORTANT I RO7| EI'ROPE. s Kurrfndrr of tlanoH and Slidell and their TaansportnlioH to Enrcpc lit-tun tided. John Hull in a llage. THU IiIVEHTOOIi meeting. | Richmond, Dec. 1. —The Norfolk Day 1 Book of this morning publishes a synopsis of I the proceedings ol a meeting held iu Livcr j pool on the occasion of the arrival of the news j of Masou and Slidell’s arrest on board the i Trent. ‘1 lie Chairman of the meeting after the ; adoption of the resolutions, said : “When the i news of the outrage reached Liverpool, the | feeling created was one of surprise, mingled witli indignation. The feeling was. shared by { the community generally, and it is our duty to | press on the government the imperative neces | sity of vindicating the honor and dignity of the British name and flag. (Loud and contin ued cheering.)” Some slight effort was made in opposition to the adoption of the resolutions, but was over whelmingly crushed. The Northern papers are hard down on Eng land for such manifestations. They say, how ever, that the meeting was composed of cotton men. The London Times, from the partial allusions to the subject that have been received, evi dently regards the Mason and Slidell seizure as a great outrage on the British flag. A dispatch dated Liverpool, 28th, says: “The excitement here, over the stoppage of the Trent, has been most intense, exceeding any thing that has happened since the Crimean war.” The funds in London were quite flat since the reception of the Trent’s news and specula tors are quite at a loss what course to pursue. The bark Helen, from Charleston, had ar rived at Liverpool, affording further evidence of Lincoln’s bogus blockade. The cotton men in Liverpool now firmly be lieve that England will prourptly interfere in the war, and, as a consequence, liberate the cotton crop by raising the blockade. Saltpetre had advanced in Liverpool from 10 to 12 shillings. Richmond , Dec. 18. — [t was announced in the Virginia House of Delegates this morning, that a dispatch had been received from Nor folk, stating that a special English Messenger had arrived out in the Europa, which touched at Halifax, demanding the immediate surrend er of Messrs. Mason, U Iell ; Eustice and Mc- Farland. The Europa brought 8,000 stand of arms and a large amouni of ammunition, which was landed :u uuunrx. Dispatches received in high official quarters here announce that England demands the un conditional surrender of Mason and Slidell and tlu-ir Secretaries. They also state that speejal dispatches have been sent by England to Lord Lyons, instructing him to call upon the United States for transportation to England of these parties, an-.I in case of refusal to demand hi passports at once. France cooperates with England in this’mat ter, and the whole of Europe is in a blaze of indignation at the course pursued by Capt. Wilkes, of the San Jacinto. Sandy Hook, Dec. 12.—The Bremen stea mer Hansa, via Southampton, lias arrived; arid brings the Liverpool Times of the 28th ult. — ft contains an account of a meeting in Liver pool on the Mason and Slidell affair. The fol lowing placord was posted on ’change : “OUTRAGE ON THE BRITISH FLAG! “SOUTHKUN .COMMISSIONEHS FORCIBLY REMOVED FROM A BRITISH MAIL STEAMER. “A public meeting will be held at the Cotton Sales Room at 3 o’clock, p. in.” The room vras crowded to excess. The chair was occupied by James Spencer, who read the following resolution: Resolved, That this meeting having heard, with indignation, that an American Federal ship-of-war lias forcibly taken from a British mail steamer certain passengers, peaceably un der our flag, from one neutral port to another, we do earnestly call upon our Government to assert the dignity of the British flag, by re quiring prompt reparation for this outrage. The resolution wos received with great en thusiasm, and advocated by the Chairman, who considered that he was expressing the feelings of the people when he said it was the duty of the people to impress upon the Government the imperative necessity of a vindication of the honor and dignity of the British name aud flag. John Campbell considered there was reason to doubt whether or not the facts related and acted upon by the meeting were, in reality, a breach of international law v He referred to the opinion of the law officers-of the Crown, being in some measure inclined to show that the slep taken with respect to the Southern Commissioners was justifiable under the exist ing state of international law. He urged the propriety of postponing the subject till to-mor row. Mr. Low sustained Mr. Campbell’s view. The Chairman suggested that the objection of Mr. Campbell might be met by striking out the words “requiring prompt reparation for this outrage.” Thus amended, the resolution passed almost unanimously. Several merchants expressed their views af ter the adjournment of the meeting, that its action was premature. Capt. Nelson, of the ship Harvey Burch, has entered his protest against the destruction jof his vessel by the Nashville. The South- I ampton magistrates refused Capt. Nelson a war- j | rant to search the Nashville, referring him to the Secretary of State. In addition to the above, the Charleston j Courier furnishes the following : Norfolk, Dec. 17. —The Baltimore Sun, of .the 17th inst, just received, and news publish j ed in an Extra of the Norfolk Day Book, says the steamship Europa arrived on the 15th inst, at Halifax, bringing the Queen’s Messenger with despatches to Lord Lyons, instructing him to demand the immediate restoration of the persons of the Southern Envoys and an apolo gy from the United States Government. C * The instructions are explicit, and meets the . 1 unanimous concurrence of the Council. /he London Times predicts three things will immediately follow, namely : the destruc tion of the Southern blockade, a complete blockade ot the Northern ports* and a recogni tion of the Southern Confederacy by France and England. * -- The Paris Patrie says France will side with England and will take a decided attitude. Nupoleou lias tendered his services as medi ator. Troops have been ordered to Canada, and great excitement prevails throughout Grert Britain and ou the Continent. A ship is now loading at Woolwich with Are.-trong guns aud eighty thousand Enfield rifles, for Canada. Washington, Dec. 15.—1n Congress, to-day, Senator Wilson gave notice that he will intro duce to-morrow a bill for the abolition of slave ry in the District of Columbia, paying to loyal owners the value of,their slaves. A general Bankrupt law is under conside ration in Congress. Washington. Dec. 10.—The Lincoln Gov ernment is firm in adhering to the arrest of Mason and Slidell, and fears no war with England and France. The correspondent of the New York Times, 17th, says the Diplomatic Corps seem more concerned about the matter than the Lincoln ites. Montreal, Dec. IG.—The news by the Eu ropa creates much excitement; a strong Brit ish feeling is manifested throughout the pro vince. Toronto, Dec. 16.—Much excitement here; the course of the home government is stronly approved. Washington, Dec. 16.—Dispatches from De troit, Cleveland, Baltimore, Pittsburg, Cincin nati, Hartford, Buffalo, Chicago, Milwaukee, all of to day, report that the people are j>re- ; pared to sustain the Administration in this quarrel with England and in resisting the de mands of the latter. Mr. Vallandigham has introduced into the House the following resolution : Resolved, That it is the sense of this House that it is the duty of the President now firmly to maintain the stand he has taken in approv ing and adopting the act of Capt, Wilkes, in spite of the menace of the British Govern ment, and that this house pledges to him its full support in upholding now the honor and vindicting the courage of the people of the United States against foreign Powers. Mr. Vallandigham moved the previous ques tion, but the House decided by a vote of 109 to 16, to refer the resolution to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. Much anxiety is felt in Washington for fear “ iail in Chari■ *;u with the. Federal rvivu ners, are burned, News has reached here that Senator Polk, of Missouri, has gone over to the Rebels. j he New York Times says that neither Lin coln, nor any member of his Cabinet, is com mitted in favor of the course of Wilkes in ar resting Mason and Slidell. The Times does not'anticipate trouble with England. The N. Y. World considers war as not very probable. b i Tribune urges the duty of suppressing the rebellion and completing the blockade. It thinks the English difficulty will lead to a long diplomatic correspondence. The Philadelphia Inquirer considers a con flict between England aud the United States as no holiday diversion, to be engaged in without reflection. The Ledger urges that the lake and river defences be put in the best possible condition. Northern papers state that 240 Fort War ren prisoners would leave for Fortress Mon roe on the 1/'th, and thence southward to be exchanged. Northern pnper t; do not confirm the report that coffee aud tea were withdrawn from the market or only offered at at enormous price. Richmond, Dec. 19.—The Enquirer of this city has a special dispatch from Norfolk, dated this morning, announcing a universal suspen sion of specie payments by the Northern banks. Upon the issuieng of the Queen’s proclama tion, Minister Adams demanded his passports. Upon the reception of the news in New York, there was a great fall in three per cent and a depreciation of from five to six per cent in all stocks. Federal securities fell two per cent, 3lissouri fell three. Sterling exchange advanced to 110 and HI. Breadstuff's were much firmer; cotton gene rally withdrawn from the market ; Middlings in last sale brought 42c. Saltpetre has advanc ed 15. The tone of the Northern press is univer sally fur war; they say England must be hum bled, and war is inevitable. Ex-Minister Faulkner is at Norfolk and will be in Richmond to-night,. t The Halllc on tin* Poloiunc. Richmond, 21. —A portion of our Potomac army suffered a defeat yesterday. At four o’clock yesterday morning Gen. Stuart, with 150 cavalry, the Jeff’ Davis Artillery, Ist Ken tucky Regiment, 10th Alabama, 11th Virginia, and 6th South Carolina Regiments, being a ! portion of Gen. Longstrect’s Brigade, left | Gentrcvilie to attempt to capture a Federal for aging party at Darnesviile, 16 miles from Cen~ trcville. As they neared the place, they found the Yankees 15,000 strong, and Gen. Stuart, with his 3000 men, attacked them. The fight lasted the greater part of the day, when the Confederates retired. Our loss is about 30 j killed and an equal number wounded. Among the killed are Rob Taylor, of the Ist Kentucky and , Major of the same regiment. The 11th Virginia Regiment, from Lynchburg, had seven killed and twelve wounded, a third field officer was killed and another had his arm shot 1 off. Four of the Jeff Davis Artillery were | killed at their guns and several were wounded, j Gen. Stuart sent to headquarters for rein- ] forcements. and last night the balance of Gen. j Longstreet’s Brigade, fourteen regiments, went down to give the Yankees another fight. No thing heard of their operations to-day. The Battle on Gi'ccn Kivcr. Boicling Green, Dec. 18. —Yesterday 200 Texas Rangers, imder Col.

The Legislature adjourned and proceeded in a body to the depot, and joined in the pro cession, which was composed of the Military, Masonic fraternity, members of the Legisla ture, City Council, and citizens. They escort ed the remains to the Capitol, where they were laid in state in the hall of the House of Rep resentatives. The remains have gone forward to-night tA o o New Orleans. The passengers by to-days train report the enemy crossing'Green River in two places. A general engagement is expected. Gen tlemen who participated in the fight yesterday, and now here, counted 55 of the enemy killed. Tlic BnlJlc of Valley WoiMitnin. Richmond, Dec. 17. —The Baltimore Amer ican ot the 14th publishes a dispatch claiming a victory in the recent battle on the Allegha nies. It says the Fedtnil loss was about 30, and the Confederate loss 200, including a Ma jor and many other officers, with 30 prisoners. It further says the Rebels set fire to their camp and retreated to Staunton. The Fcde rals left the field in good order* I’i'Ht CONTRA. A letter from Staunton, written Sunday night, says: “The Twelfth Georgia Regiment lqst, in killed and wounded, about 30, and the Vir- ginia Regiment about 80. The loss of the en emy is not known, but 32 of the Yankees were buried by our troops.” A lot ter to the Lybcbburg Republican, from an officer at Camp Alleghany, says: “Our loss is two Captains, three Lieuten ants and fifteen privates, and ninety-seven wounded. The Federal loss is tally five hun dred. Gen Milroy commanded the Federals, and is supposed to have been killed, from re ports made by prisoners and people of the neighborhood. “Col.
