TO ARMS! TO ARMS !!
Fellow countrymen, we appeal to you in behalf
oi our common country. Her enemies are inva
ding her soil, and it is our most solemn and im
perative duty to march to her defence. What
man is so dead to ali feelings of patriotism as will
not now offer his aid? Come with us then, let us
make for our homes a breastwork of our bodies;
let us unite against tyranny, as did our fathers in
the Revolution, and not yield our soil until our
hearts’ best blood shall have been freely poured
out in her defence.
\ The “ Floyd Infantry ” will leave for Rich
mond Virginia, on next Thursday. Will you not
join us? Will you not fill up our ranks? We are
allowed to take one hundred men, and need now
thirty more. For the sake of our common coun
try do not hesitate.
The members of the corps are hereby ordered
to report themselves immediately.

Sad Accident.
On Thursday evening last, several of
the men belonging to Capt. Cooper’s
company, were bathing in the Etowah,
near the city, and among them Mr. Julius
Bork, of this city, and not being able to
swim, was unfortunately drowned* Mr.
Eugene Cooper, the officer of the day,
was with them, and gave express orders
that no one who could not swim, should
attempt to bathe, as the river at that
point was very deep. Notwithstanding,
the unfortunate young man, above named,
ventured in. He was quite a favorite
with his company, and executed his du
ties with promptness and fidelity. The
body has oeen found.
——
visited Captain Cooper’s camp,
on- Thursday evening, and was pleased
to see the proficiancy they had reached
in three days, strict discipline. Owing
to the absence of the Captain, the com
pany has been under the command of
Lieut. Hargrove, who has discharged his
duty, beyond the expectation of his most
sanguine friends. He will make a gal
lant officer, bold and daring, with capac
ity enviable by most men of his age.
Ihe company has marching orders,
and will leave this city on Thursday next.
We are requested by Capt. Cooper, to
state, that he desires all those belonging
to his company, to report themselves at
Camp, immediately.

INSURRECTION OF SLAVES IN
KENTUCKY DENIED.
Richmond, May 13.—The telegraphic
report that there was an insurrection of
slaves in the State of Kentucky is posi
tively contradicted by later hews from
that State.
[Perhaps the rumor that a Brigade of
Lincolnites was organizing in that State,
the command of which had been offered
to Maj.|Anderson, gave rise to the. repor
ted insurrection of slaves.—Eds. So.

. Died>~ln Effingham county*, on the 27th of
April, Lavra, the beloved and lamented wife of
Dp A, P. LongstreCt,’ and only daughter of Dr
C.’ K, Ayer—leaving four little children to cher
ish a lair young mother’s memory, of whose life
the following lines form a true and touching
transcripts:
•‘Another hand is beckoning us.
Another call is given:
And glows once more, with angels steps.
The path which reaches Heaven.
“Our young and gentle friend, whose smile
Made bright the summer hours.
Nor felt the chill of auturn time,
lias left .us w ith the flowers.
’“No palling of the cheek of bloom
Forewarned us of decay:
No shadow from the silent land
Fell round our sister’s way.
“The light of her young life went down
As sinks behind I the hill
The glory of a setting star—
Clear, suddenly, and still!
"As pure and sweet, her fair brow seemed:
As evening's cloudless sky;
And like the brook's low song, her voice:
A sound which could not die,
“Sweet promptings unto kindly deeds
Were in het very look;
We read her face, as one who reads,
A true arid holy book.
-There seems a shadow on ttie day,
Her smile no longer cheers:
A dimness on the stars of night,
Like eyes that look through tears.
’‘Alone unto our Father’s will
One thought hath reconciled,
That He, whose love exceedeth ours,
Hath taken home His child!”
Avgusta, Ga., May 1861.
The Cherokee Indians.
The Raleigh State Journal, of Wed
nesday, -says: .
Col. W. H. Thomas, Senator from
Jackson, has at the service of the State
one of the most remarkable bodies of
men in the country. It is a company of
200 Cherokee Indians, organized for bat
tle, and styled the “Junaluske Zuaves.”
It appears that Col. Thomas, who is the
business agent of the Cherokees, lately
called a council of the Indians, and
explained to them the condition of the
country. The chiefs discussed the mat
ter, and said, after consultation, that
although they did not understand the
national difficulty, they did know North
Carolina, and would stand by her. They
were ready for any position in her de
ence. This is most remarkable. Our of
a nation of some 1500, they muster 200
warriors for the defence of North Caroli
na. The Cherokees are expert riflemen.
They know nothing of military tactics,
but show them their work, and then they
have .only to be told when to cease fight
ing. They fight in their own way, and
every man for himself. The “Zuaves”
are ready at a moment's notice.
From Pickens.—The following is an
extract from a business letter to this of
fice, from a volunteer in the Florida Reg
iment, dated—
Camp Magnolia, [
Warrington, May 6th, 1861. J
“We are making vigorous exertions to
prepare for taking Fort Pickens, and all
feel confident that we will succeed, and
without much loss. A day or two since
the Florida and Alabama R. R. was com-
• pleted, and yesterday quite a large num
ber of heavy “mortors” arrived, which
wilt do effective service mounted on the
substantial sand batteries we are busily
erecting. The troops, especially the
“Florida boys,” are in fine spirits and
“spilin” for a fight. Very little murmur
ing is heard throughout the camps, not
withstanding the hardships and privations
they have to undergo. Night before last
the channel between Pickens and Fort
Mcßae was effectually blockaded by
sinking small vessels filled with stone —
quite an achievement, I think.
C. T.
• No' Resources.—News from Washing
ton represents Lincoln’s treasury as per
fectly empty. A draft for five hundred
dollars cannot be honored. It appears
that the. reported contributions of the
Northern millionaries arc merely moon
shine. The great Stewart, who was put
down for a million, subscribed only ten
thousand—not enough to keep the revels
of Old Abe’s household gang agoing for
a week.
♦
Military Power of Virginia.—The
Richmond Dispatch says the State of
Virginia can bring into the field at least
a hundred thousand as brave men as
there are in the world, accustomed from
their infancy to the use of arms, and
ready and willing to lay down their lives
in defence of their homes.

p Daniel's Patent Tanning Process.
T AM now an old and practical Tanner, having
' j_been engaged in the business about forty years.
. 1 have tried every plausible improvement, and
have cast them aside as worthless, costing more
• than they are worth ; and have found, by a fair
, trial rnd test of twelve months, that Daniel’s Pa
tent Process makes better leather, in about one
eighth of the time, and at about one-half of the ex
- pense of all former systems, without any extra
■ preparations. The leather is stronger, more pli-
ant, wears better, turns water better, gives better
’ weight, needs little or no scouring, sells better
than leather tanned on the old system, gives uni
versal satisfaction, takes a finish, and receives a
fast black. All light skins may be tanned in from
i three to five days, other leather in from five ro
thirty, and the best quality, such as sole or har
ness leather, from thirty to forty days, according
■ to the thickness. This is the cold process. This
can be ofiected entirely independeht of the use o.
oak bark. 1 tanned about one thousand sides last
year, and I have stocks in the various stagee o.
the tanning process, and 1 think I have tne best
j stock that I have ever made. There is a great sa
ving of time, labor, and cost.
1 All the above facts 1 feel prepared to establish
| by the best references ; and if this is not satisfac
tory, I can prove it by inducting tanners into the
1 secret of this process.
Tanners, or companies of tanners, wishing to
obtain rights, can apply to me, sole agent of the
• patentee tor the states of Alabama and Florida.
