Much misunderstanding seems to ex ist among the volunteer forces called in to the Confederate service, in relation to the subject of clothes and clothing, and | yet the law of Congress controlling lhe question is quite clear, and admits of no two constructions. Many Volunteer Companies, and Battalions and regiments, entered the Confederate service with the idea, that the War Department would supply all deficiencies of clothing among them, and would moreover be prepared with future supplies to meet the accruing Wants of the soldiers; and, consequeni ly, are now suffering in this respect, be cause of the want ol proper information in the beginning, which their officers and > the State authorities should have given. ‘ The law of Congress, as set forth in the act “to provide for the public defence,” reads as follows, to-wit: “Said volunteers shall furnish their own clothes. M hen called into active service and while remaining therein, in stead of clothing, every non-commission ed officer and private in any company shall be entitled to money, in a sum equal to the cost of clothing of a non-commis sioned officer or private in the regular ( army of the Confederate States.” By this law volunteers provide, at all times their own clothing, and receive therefor commutation in money, and in ' the passage of the law, Congress evident ly had in view those public exigencies that required large forces to be thrown into the field while yet the Government was in its infancy and stood provided with no regular Quarter Master organiz ation. We have been thus explicit because it is highly desirable the matter should be thoroughly understood, as well among those troops already in service, as among those who are daily expecting to be call ed into service. And we think it would be well for the news-paper press gener ally, to set forth, as we have done, the subject in the light of the law and the reason of the law. — Mont. Advertiser. Starvation. The New ork Iribune says: “The West can drown or starve the lower country, as it pleases, if a continued re bellious obstinacy should compel the North to accept the alternative. Cairo is already possessed by a strong body of troops, but a sufficient force should be P^ ac . e .d on the river, and all trade stopped at once. It will not be long before there is nothing left to eat in the South-western region. The ignorance of the raving fanatic who edits the '.Tribune is astound ing. He seems to know as much about the Southern country as he does about the mountains in the moon. We tell the besotted fool that the South-west has an abundance of food for its sustenance, un til the immense crops of cereals, now growing, shall mature; and that then the West will find this country, which has heretofore been its chief market for its surplus, crops, closed against them. Our planters have been accustomed to pur chase corn and bacon from the North west, simply because it has been more profitable to devote their labor to other products. But, threatened with an em bargo on their customary supplies, they have planted a crop of corn which will yield a surplus after fully supplying the wants of the country. The effect, there fore, of this insane war will be to destroy the agricultural interest of the West, in- ■ stead of starving the South. I lhe North will soon learn from bitter I experience that the South can neither be staived. nor whipped out. Tne capaci- , ties of her soil are as much underrated as those of her people by such blind . guides as the Tribune.—Memphis Ava -1 lanche. ! ' A. b . Rudler, the brave com panion of the unfortunate Gen. Walker, is endeavoring to raise a company of eighty men to enlist for the war. His ( address is Southern States Hotel, Augus ta. ftßT'The Baltimore American says : • “The geographical position of Maryland makes it necessary that we should be * .... passive in this contest, even if our peo ) ph* were disposed to take part in lhe se cession movement. Any other course must be suicidal and destructive, and in jurious rather than beneficial to the j South. We have the only port not blockaded, and to keep it open will make an outlet for Southern cotton and South -0 ern produce that it would otherwise be 1 deprived of.” ’’ The editor misunderstands lhe spirit L ol the Southern people if he expects Baltimore will be the gainer by the trea ? son of her people to the South. He is ' greatly mistaken if he expects his city ? or any other city that supinely and mean ly bows to the rule of Abe Lincoln is to be the outport of the products of the 1 South. Rather our surplus cotton should i • rot in our warehouses than its commerce * should enrich a people false to the South, 3 false to honor, and false to themselves. As the northern port of the Southern Confederacy, Baltimore would have en r joyed a commanding position. With her 3 numerous local advantages—her fine, healthy climate, beautiful city, capital, enterprize and extensive manufactories —she might and would have been our Northern port of supply—she, with Richmond, Avould have enjoyed the 1 Southern trade which has heretofore been divided between New York, Philadel- I phia and Boston. But the course which ' her betrayers have adopted have depriv -1 ed her of this brilliant prospect, and now, instead of becoming one of the first com ’ mercial cities on the continent, she must be content to be an insignificant and loy al suburban town under the shadow of the commercial emporiums of the vile government to whom she has ignobly succumbeed.— Savannah News. Washington City and its Position.— Washington city is situated on the left bank of the Potomac river, between two small tributaries; the one on the East called the East branch, and the one on the west called Rock river. The latter sep arates it from Georgetown. The general altitude of the city plot is 40 feet above the river, but it is diversified by irregu lar elevations which are taken advantage of in the location of the different public buildings. The plot is somewhat in the form of an amphitheatre, the Presi dent’s House on the west standing on one of the sides, and the capitol on the other. These two buildings, about ■ one mile apart, are situated in about the centre of the whole. The former is ele vated 44 feet above the Potomac, and the latter 72 feet. The summit of the hill on which the capitol stands is the com mencement of a plain stretching to the east, while that to the north of the Pres ident’s house tends westward. These topographical peculiarities give great ad vantages for the defence of the city. — The city plot extends 43 miles in a N. W. and S. E., and about 23 miles in a N. E. and S. W. direction, and covers en area of nearly eleven squi re miles.— ; The resident population is about 55,000 ; —with Georgetown 65,000. The only means of communication . between the city and the opposite shore . of Virginia is by the long bridge. This ; approach is guarded all the time by bc- • tween three and five hundred men, ca . pable of repelling any attempt of the enemy to cross the Potomac at that point. These troops consist of infantry, . artillery and cavalry. The son of Light Horse Harry Lee commands the forces of Virginia. His chief Aid is J. A. Washington, the only living representative of George Wash ington. The great grandson of Thomas Jefferson commands the Howitzer Bat tery at Richmond, Madison left no de- I J ■“ scendant. A grandson of Patrick Hen ' ry is a Captain in the Virginia forces. The descendants of Chief Justice Mar shall are in the ranks, and in command. —Alexandria Gazettee. , Confederate States Court.—The first [• Confederate States Court in Georgia will be held in this city on the first Monday in June next.

JThercas, War exists between the Uni . ted States and the Confederate States; , and whereas the public welfare may re , (piire the reception of volunteer forces , into the service of the Confederate States without the formality and delay of the call upon the respective States. Sec. 1. 77/c Congress of the Confede* rate States of America do enact, That the President be authorized to receive into service such companies, battalions, or regiments, either mounted or on foot, as may tender themselves, and he may re quire, without the delay of a formal call uppn the respective States, to serve for such time as he may prescribe. Sec. 2. Such volunteer forces as may -be accepted under this act, except as herein differently provided, shall be or ganized in accordance with, and subject to all the provisions of the act entitled “an act to provide for the public defence,” and be entitled to all the allowances pro vided therein; and when mustered into service may be attached to such divi sions, brigades or regiments as the President may direct; or ordered upon such independent or detached service as the President may deem expedient; Provided, however, That battalions and regiments may be enlisted from States not of this Confederacy; and the Presi dent may appoint all or any of the field officers thereof. Sec. 3. The President shall be author ized to commission such volunteer forces as may be received under the pro visions of this act, and upon the request of the officer commanding such volunteer regiment, battailion or company, the President may attach a supernumerary officer to each company detailed from the regular army for that purpose and for such time as the President may di rect. The Northern Fright.—The Black Republican journals, in their urgent calls to the people to take up arms against us, manifest great fear of our fighting qualities. In an article headed, “Wanted, a Leader,” the New York Times, of the 25th ult., says: From a dream of profound peace, we awake with our enemy at our throat.— Who shall grapple with this foe? Men that can match his activity, quick in stincts, and physical force. A warrior— not a philosopher; a Cromwell—not a Bacon or a Locke. Many of the Cabinet, having outlived the hot blood of youth, are vainly at tempting to reason with his foe. As well might they oppose a feather to a whirlwind. Jefferson Davis has sur rounded himself with spirits kindred to his own. Think of offering the olive branch to such men as Toombs and Wig fall ! These men are seeking to put a chain about our necks, to secure our hu miliation by the destruction of all our national interests. “Our money, or our life, or both ! Reprisals at Berwick’s Bay—Two Yankee Schooners Loaded with Live ( )ak Timber Seized.—The report of re prisals has fairly commenced, and the citizens of and around Berwick’s Bay are entitled to the credit of inaugurating it. Two Yankee schooners, loaded with live oak timber for the Northern Navy Yards, and ready to start from Berwick’s Bay, were taken possession of on Thurs day night last by the citizens, and held in durance vile until accounts shall be settled with the Lincoln Government. — X. O. True Delta. Spies in the South. We have little doubt that Lincoln has agents in every Southern locality, and a strict look out should be kept for them. Strangers, especially, no matter how pa cific the pretenses on which they profess to come, should be closely watched, and if necessary, prevented from leaving.— Aug. Dis. ♦ < Harper’s Weekly.—The Memphis Appeal says: Let the traitorous sheet be stopped by every Southern family—its sale be in hibited upon the streets of every South ern city, and its delivery refused to sub scribers in every Southern post office.
