Tue Harbor of Brunswick is now leit without
aefrnse-even the slight one hitherto afforded oy
the four six-poupders and two twelve-pounders
Of the Jackson Artillery. There Is nomlnaliy an
artillery company, resident at Brunswick, called
the "Gbon Artillery" but they are destitute
of efficient arms or discipline. The Brunswick
Ridsuen is another volunteer company of that
cisy. The GlyDn Guards is a mounted company,
the members Of which are scattered throughout

In this city and county there are at present

Throughout the State Of Georgia there arc now
Two Hundred and Sixteen Volunteer Companies,
10 ALL probably, 1880 men. These have been
actively forming for o year past. Many have
been formed quite recently, and few more are
now forming. These comprise however, pretty
much the whole fighting material of the State.
Half or more Of them country companies,
designed for domestic defense. Fourteen of them
have already been called into the field and are at
or pear Pensacola. The recent levy will absorb
Forty more.
Supposng half the whole TO be enlisted, and
Che other Confederate States to furnish proper
tional quota there will be total Confederate Army
nsn,labe for extreme exgencies of not more than
$4,000 men To arm and equip that number is,
1 am confident, entirely beyond the means of the
Government at present-so that the prospect of
aggressive war on the part of the South is
poor one, unless the Border States are revolu-
honzed and brought to their aid. Roger A.
Pryor, in a speech at Charleston night or two
uince. declared the ability and intention of the
Virginia SecessiObists TO effect this. The pro-
duct,ye capacity Of the South will be Immensely
Aimnished BY war. While the Union continued,
the Southerners raised great clamor about in.
suSord,nation caused among their chattels by Abo-
itioa excitement. Now they boast that their
slayes cannot be induced to turn against them.
Bat this is sad stuff for such time as this.
Rnnawsys and vicious conduct are frequent.
Nothing but the constant military uprOar of the
times. and the constant watchfulHess kept up
keep the slaves in their places. The expectation
of peace, also, has slbdued them. But in case
of war they will take every advantage. They
ere on the qui vve, and it is deporable to con.
template the possible results. They may not
yelt; but their labor will not be worth the half
1t has been. Southern planters have been strain
ing every nerve to supply themselves with bread
stuffs this year, to the sacrifce OF cotton. The
cotton crop cannot but be very deficient. An
intelligent planter put il month ago at not more
than four-ffths. That was in anticipation Of
peace. With war; there 10 ess likelihood of half
. crop. Immense quantities of are still
arriving from the North. The railroads are bur-
dened with it. And still there is lack. Now or
never, surely, is the time to try the efficacy Of
force measures in Fredericksburg the Federal au-
&hority. Intelligent men here cay we need a
strong Government; that this idea Of StateSeces.
mon is destructive Of all the hopes and glory Of
the nation.
People here think their Commissioners have
been befooled. The expectation Of peace has
been very general and secure. The present de-
noument comes on the South wita q terrible
shock. 1t will strain their resources to the
utmost Houston is greatly maligned. II is
feared he will succeed in rescuiDg Texas from
their grasp. Ignorant people in the country talk
very fercely about taking Fort Pickens right
away" " If had my way, would hang old
Lincoln, and old Scott, and old Houston" One
suggests the propriety Of changing all the men
