More Private Letters from Montgomery
Blair.
The following letter from the POstmaster-Gen-
eral to General Harney, appears in the Wash
ington correspondence of the st. Louis RepubLi-
can of the 18th:
WASHINGTON, May II, 1851
GENERAL I did not intend that you should
be restored to the command at st Louis till l
heard the wishes of the Union men at st Louis
on the subject, and was waiting for the effect of
your letter to Colonel O'Fallen, when you went
off, without my having decided the question, by
an order from the War Depart nent, and have
had to say, also that 1 find that our people at
st. Louis are not satisfied that you should COM
mand them at this juncture. This arises chiefly
from the positions taken in the present contest
by your relations at st Louis. It is impossible
for men whose lives are at stake they say, to be
satisfied with the command of one whose init
mates are openly against them. Upon this
ground l have urged that you should be relieved
of the command at st. Louis and the Admins
traton could not take the responsibility of re-
fusing to grant this request, and the order should
not, therefore, be deemed by you or by others to
reflect upon your loyalty, but as simply deeis-
ion upon the safe side under embarrassing cir
cumstances. Respectfully yours,
CSigned NJ. BLAIR.

CORN BEER.-Take one pint of corn and boil
it until it is soft add to it pint Of molssses and
one gallon of water shake them well together
and set it by the fire, and in twenty four hours
the beer will be excellent. When all the beer in
the jug is used, add more molasses and water.
The same corn viii answer for six months
and the beer will be fit for use in twelve hours by
keeping the jug where it is warm. Ia this way
the ingredients used in making gallon Of beer

THE YANKEES AND THE SOUTHERN Press.
With the prospect of our subjugation before its
eyes, the Philadelphia Press is discussing how the
rebels are to be treated. This Black Republican
oracle gives little comfort to the press, as we are
well told in the event of their victory what we
may expect of the Yankee task-masters in the
following paragraph:
1t is suggested that as our armies advance
into the South all the rebel journals shall be i'm
mediately suppressed, and the types, machinery
and paper used to publish Union newspapers.
Nashville, Memphis, Richmond, Charleston No
bile and Savannah, will be fine fields for such
enterprises as these. Our troops would literally
patronize all such papers.

Affairs in Georgia.

The people are holding meetings throughout
the State of Georgia, and great unanimity is
eyinced to plant no more cotton until the block
ade shall be raised.
The Savannah Republican of the 24th inst.
says:
The town of st. Augustine, Florida, is also in
the hands Of the enemy. The officers of the feet
approached the place in barge with the stars
and stripes and flag of truce both flying. The
place being without defenses the mayor raised a
white flag on the fort, and the Yankees went up
boldly.
On arriving at the town they exhorted the in
hsbitants to be quiet and remain at hOme-they
would only be required to be loyal to Lincoln
and the Union. They demanded the keys of the
fort, which were given up to them A short time
afterwards the troops also came up in barges and
took possession of st. Francis barracks The
officers enquired what had became of the Con-
fedeTate garrison, when some of the citizens
were treacherOus enough to inform them of their
being at New Smyrna
The Republican of the 25th says:
So far as we could learn, everything was quiet
over the river esteTday. We received no re-
port Of landings and threatened attacks, and our
troops on this side were allowed to remain in
their camps and rest from their labOrs of march
ing and countermarching in response to false
alarms. 1t is difficult to say what the enemy are
at They have been amusing themselves with
feints for week past, and may possibly venture
upon demonstration soon. We are patiently
waiting, and our troops begin to chafe under the
delay.
Nothing of interest from any portion of the
Georgia coast. The enemy seem to be more par
ticularly engaged Just now in paying their re-
spects to our florida friends, and especially a.
those points where there is no chance for fight
How long will it take them to make Florida
loyal by holding the small towns on her coast
Let them work out that proposition, and give us
the process.

We would like to get eight or ten
good men to fill eur Company to its

whether or not transportation would be

The health of our Company has been,
and is, indeed, gool--botter than l had
anticipated. We have more than seven
ty enlisted men for duty. and there has
not been a time during the SUNNI cr

course includes our extra duty men.
We have lost by death in the whole
Regiment, for over thirteen months,
somewhat less than fifty. There has
been no deaths in it since in juno. If
you can send us any good men to enlist
in our Company, or the Regiment, please
do so.

to see draft, and hope the Union men
will not be frightened by it. BY this ar
