ROME, FLOYD Co, Ga, 18TH June, 1851
l enclose YOU another list OF Subscribers to
the Druy D}$pHtch, making in all about sey-
enty five sent Fou in the last week Add To
this the number previously sent 10 this office,
and II makes the daily circulation OF your
very able and deserVedly popular paper more
than double that of any other daily journal
received here. Virginia papers are now
sought after and read with great ayidity and
in terest by our people. Nothw tbs landing
the laggardness OF the Old Dominion in ass nm =
Ing her true position IN the great movemen I
for Southern independence and her uurnerit
ed censure Of South Carolina and the other
Gulf States for their superior sagaCity and
wisdom III the premises, yet she has q warm
place in our afec tions, and every true South
ern heart throbs responsive to her call for
help to expe! from her borders the ruthless in
vahers Of her sacred soil.
In addition to tho three companies that
have already repaired, with FURNISHED guns,
glistening b4gOnets, and Cherokee knives OF
fearful dimensions, to the scene OF WAY III the
Old Commonwealth two other volunteer
companies have been organized and equipped
in our little noun tain city: one OF them, The
Cherokee ARTILLERY, left tor camp the first OF
this week, and the other, "Floyd Sharp
>hooters,' ccIananued by Capt. Hamilton,
expect 10 leave Ton Virginia Ca Tuesday next;
and, Il | lot very mUCh mistaken, the
mynnidon3 of Lincoln VIII be deeply and
buIiet-ly impressed with the significance OF
the name of this last com pdny. l doubt il
any town ia the Confederate States, of the
same population, has as many we'll drilled
companies in the army Of Virginia as Rome,
ard yet other mpanies are about being or
ganized. May there not be some thing III a
name? Ancien: Rome hoasted OF her 'lt eions''
OF fighting men, why may not modern Rome
do he s4me--on a small scale?
From the military spirit and heroineism
manifested by the accomplished bride of Capt.
MagTuder, Of our city, GU may naturally and
truthtuliy infer that our ladies are rot behind
the sterner SIX il military ar0or and euthusi-
asIn. ii necessary TO aVenge the Outragps
perpetrated by Yankee demons upon their sis
ters OF Virginia, ffty thousand of Georgia s
peuoply OF wa! aud rush - the bloody con nct.
But | hope the chIValry and uUdaunted
bravery Of their fathers, brothers, and hus-
bands, may obviate the necessity Of their
taking the field.
The wheat crop OF Georgia is now secured,
and nothing like il, iG quality and quantity,
has ever been seen before since Aitim tcuS Il
baby Il 0id Abe was ever impressed W,th
the f00iiSh notion thai We We're ON the verge
of starvation i'll the Cotton States, a glance
at our ruuninS over gamers and the iuAuri-
3nce OF our growing crops would very soou
dispel the fatal illusion. The sweet and IRISH
potato crop alone of the Sou n Will keep our
army III good tigh ting order for the next SIX
months 1t there Is any starving 10 be done
anywhere on the continent during he pre-
Sent year, it Will certainly not be this side
of Mason & Dixon. The lantern j1wed deni-
Zens' 'ot the sterile hills of New England may
if their pumpkla crop should fail go 90 bed
on empty stoinachs, W hiie we poor South
ernerS' are filled TO rppletion with not only
the necessaries, but luxuries of life. Then,
p.rhaps, they VIII envy the condition of our
sleek, fat negroes, fer whom they seem to
have so much commiseratiOn. j 4. ).
