From GeorsIa-lpterestIns RxtraeIs from

From GeorgIa-1nteresting Extracts from
Papers OF that state.
We clip the following extracts from late
Georgia papers which have found their way
to the North. The Savannah Republican of
Thursday, September 8, says;
We have good ground for the belief that
our batteries were opened yesterday, or last
night, on the defenses at Washington. Up
to the time we write, no intelligence has
been received from that quarter, and possi-
bly, operations have been postponed, but we
feel very sure for period not more than
forty eight hours.
In the same paper of September 4, is the
following paragraph:
Among the arrivals by the steamer 81.
MaTys, yesterday, were the following prison.
ers, which were captured off st. Simon's
Islands by the 0kefenokee Rifles, Captain
Dasher: Lemuel Turner, Josiah Grooms,
George W. Adams and Richard Lynn. They
were in charge of detachment of Rifles
under command of Lieutenant James Smith,
and were turned over to General Lawton.
The offense charged against these men, of
which we learn there is ample proof to con-
vict them, was that Of holding communica-
tion and supplying the enemy. They hail
from JacksonviM, Fla, and state that they
were fishermen.
The Atlanta C0nfsderacy of September A.
has this paragraph:
Two gentlemen from Charleston, Just from
England, passed through our city on yester-
day en- route for home. Both Of them are
well known to us, and we can place the full
| est reliance on their statements. One OF
| them bears dispatches from our Commission
| ers in Europe to President Davis-of their
contents of course he processes to know no
thing. AT various points from Quebec to
| the line of the Southern Confederacy, this
| colnites failed to fud the dispatches, which
were most arttully concealed, we know
where, but think it imprudent to let the So
cret out.
Upon the recognition of our Government
and raising the blockade, our Charleston
friends say, there is not doubt upon the
mind of any one in England. A large
| number of merchants were there from the
| South, all of whom made heavy purchases
to be- paid for when the goods are safely de.
livered to consiguees in the ports of the
South. Our readers may rely upon the truth
of this intelligence.
The Macon Telegraph says: According tc
the Savannah Republican, the Atlanta In
tei6gencer has recently set forth in the ligh
Of an achievement, the fact that two hundred
tuns of saltpeter and one hundred and twenty

ernor out of the appropriation of one millior
dollars for the defense of the State, was re-
sold to the Confederate States at net adj
vance of fifty per cent. on cost. If this be 80
we Join with the Republican in the hope that
the excess over cost and expenses may bt
promptly refunded. The State should no
desire to make money out of the material
, for the common defense, and it would be
blot upon her escutcheon, while Alabam
and Louisiana were generously tenderin
their millions to the Confederate Govern
/ ment as a gift, Georgia was making specu
4 lation at her expense, by vending munition
of war at third more than COST We regrt
to know that such an operation has take
r place.
The Augusta papers call on the bachelor
| ard ladies to contribute blankets to I'll
E soldiers. They urge the people generally
= economic their bacon and hay. The Coz
? SdtutionaRst says:
3 Hay is noiO north t,vo cents per pound in I'll
q Macon market, and will probably be scarce
and higher than it is now, so soon as Wintt
5 sets in. Now, will any say that he can nj
J, cut and cure ten pounds of hay more cheapl
B. than he can grow, gather, gin and pack
single pound of cotton2 Hay, too, will fin
a ready market for cash, while cotton may
r shut off from market altogether during ii
& entire Winter. Then cut all the grass
your fields so soon as the weather has bt
come settled; cure it well and stow it ava
in dry place. If you do not need it, 70
can find market for it at good price.
