RELIEF FOR PLANTERs.--A bill has been in
PRODUCED in the Georgia Legislature, with
the following caption:
An act to incorporate the Cotton Planters
Bank of Georgia, to give steadiness to the
value of cotton, to make it available as the
basis of sound circulating medium for the
relief of the Industrial interests of the eoun-
try, and at the same time to enable the plan
tiers TO control their own cotton, until the
blockade now attempted to be enforced, is
removed. To guard the planters against an
unavoidable necessitous sale of their cotton
at less than remunerating prices, and against
sacrifices alike detrimental to their interests,
consequent upon their being forced to draw
upon and accept inadequate advancements
upon their crops, paying heavy commissions,
interests, Insurance and storage, ruinous to
the producers of this great Southern staple,
and for other purposes.

The Poor AND THEIR NEcEssITIEs.-t Is
a scripture trueism, remarks the Lynch
burg Republican, that We have the poor al
ways with us. This fact is brought home to
us with peculiar force at this time, as the
ripors of winter are approaching, aud the
high price of food bringsaus face to face with
bitter poverty. The demands of the war
have necessitated frequent calls nRon our
generous hearted people for pecuniary and
other aid, and we are happy 10 know that
;hey have not been III vain. :" Give, give"
hes been the cry, and will continue to he,
until seace shall once more bless the land
with plenty. Our liberality thus far. has
been equal to the demand. and prompt re-
snonse at all times 10 calls for aid to our
soldiery has shown the spirit of beneVolence
and patriotism which animates our people.
Heretofore our aid has chiefly been extend
ed to our brave soldiers in the field, and
while we would by no means relax our Ell
forts in their behalf, we would also remem
Der the poor in our midst who viii necessari-
" experience much suffering this winter.
Many of these are helpless women and chill
dren whose husbands and parents are BRAY
ing the diseases Of the camp and the perils OF
the battlefield in the cause OF their country,
and surely, while they are thus engaged,
those helpless ones should receive the foster
ing care of those who are left at home, while
others are fgh ting their battles. Without
some organized effort in their behalf, we fear
they will suffer beyond human endurance.

Saltpetre. =. a


We publish this morning an extract from
pamphlet recently issued under the auspices
ofthe Ordnance Department Of the Confed-
crate States on the subject of Saltpetre. 1t
explains the mode of manufacturing Salt
petre SO clearly that no one can misuhder-
stand it, and, when we consider the simplicity
of the process and its economy, we cannot
doubt that wherever read it will set to work
those who have access to the earth from
which saltpetre is derived. The price now
paid by the government for this indispensa-
BILE article in the manufacture of gunpowder
. ia thirty foe cents per pound, enough to COM
Z pensate the manufactures sufficiently Every
mound that is offered previous to the lsts oil
February next will be taken and paid for al
this price. Too much cannot be made, aud
no one need have any fear of not finding
ready sale for all that he may offer.

1t will now be explained how to proceed so
as to have regular rotation of the barrels,
as they shall be euptied one after the other

that the work is on small scale, then there

placed round In circle near each other, and
three of them are filed with fresh earth, the
fourth remaining SIMPLY. Now when the first
barrel has been exhausted ofsaltpetre by the
three, washings, it will be thrown out, bat
instead of filing up this barrel with fresh
earth, we ill up the fourth or empty barrel,
and this can be going on during the leach
ing. Thus we have three barrels working as
at first, the fresh barrel being the third in the
new series, and receiving the Ieached liquor
frora the one next Ia it. The first barrel Of
the new arrangement, however, has already
beea washed twice. before the new oerrei was

IlEr us LOOK AT THE BRrGnr SIDE MOMENT. A correspondent of The Sandasky Register writing. about grumblers, says:
 "Wby not look on the bright side of things! We have had a defeat it is true, but the enemy report their carnage greater than we do ours. But think of the good news we have had during the week past. Springfield and Lexington re- captured. Jeff. Thompson and Zolcofer defeated and Romney taken. We have heard too that the enemy were badly repulsed at Fort Pickens and at least three prizes have been taken on the ocean. Our arms have been very successful owing very much no Goubt to the fact that Gen. Mcclellan has drawn their attention to exclu- sively to the Potomac. The loss at Leesburp will no. strengthen the enemy nearly so much as the grumbling of our own people,"
 "'TAK1xG THE OATH."-Dewn in Wirt county where the rebels have recently been perpetrating outrages, and where Dowand was lately murder ed, taking the oath is standing joke. When a secesslonist can show that he has shot or shot at Union man, or destroyed Union mans property his compatriots collect about and make him take the oath upon pack of cards or a brick-bat. They think it good thing, and we think so too. There is something irresistibly funny about it, and we are only surprised that the rascals had wit enough to avail themselves of the fun it suggests We are told by a fed eral officer who has just arrived from Burning Springs, that all the rebels in that country walk up in body and take the oath every day for a week if permitted to do so. They like it. They regard it as license to do as they please. The oldest iukabitant has never seen the secessionist m Wirt county who wouldn't take the oath glad y-l Wheeling (Va) IateHigencer
 The reelection of Governor Brown, of Geor- gia, is most significant of the want of confidence entertined for the Confederate Government in that State once so conservative and loyal. Some months since Governor Brown published terri ble tirade against Jeff Davis and the leaders of the Richmond clique, whom he charged with designs to create an aristocracy and build up monarchy upon the ruins of our republican gov ernment. Gov. Brown also peremptory refused to send forward any more State troops to fight the Confederate battles, and recalled those that had already been sent forward.
 This endorsement of the Governor by the people of Georgia, after such unmistakable evi- dences of his having become sick and tired of the confederate military despotism, shows that the State will not follow any ultra leaders, but will be found prepared at no distant day, to wheel into the Union ranks agun, from which she was wheeled by some of her impracticable and timid political leaders.-LouisciHe Jow'nal.
