Special Notice to the Families and Friends Of the
Soldiers Belonging to the 18th, 95h 45th and
39th Regiments Georgia Volunteers:
The men composing these regiments are,
many Of them, without shoes or blankets and
nearly without clothing Most of them are
now in want, and the whole Of them as cold
weather comes on, will need shoes, blankets,
shirts, socks, drawers and hats or caps; and
if they are not furnished with these articles,
there will be a great deal of suffering as well
as loss OF life among them. have been de-

South Hill, viewing the ruins left by the fire on
the preceding night. In the midst of their con.

looking at the wreck few moments, turned to

expected" and repeatedly declared We should
have no war, even long after actual war bad
been insugurated. And this strange language,
which, if one but shuts the eyea, sounds like the
parting echoes from the lips Of Cobb and Floyd,
is not the fruit Of treason, but mere vague de.
fusion, with which this purbliud statesman and
conceited theorist leads the nation to its ruin -
If any infatuated worshippers claim that he is
better thar these words describe him, let them
apply his predictions to our present state, and
examine his policy in comparison with results.
h His cardinal error at the beginning was, as we
have indicated, an differentiation Of the crisis,
and from this we find him naturally stepping in
to the mistaken policy of allowing the Cotton
States ITO 60 in peace" His silly theory was
land in this he temporarily entrapped the Iri
bune, that they would be glad enough to come
in tout Of the cold" either with slavery or with.
out it, and that our whole endeavors should be
devoted to securing the allegiance of the Border
States. He therefore commenced coquetting
with those States; and had it not been for the
precipitation of the war by the assault On Sum.
ter, those Border diplomats would have succeed
ed in befoolng US of the FIVE lower principalties
without blow, and then gravitated toward
them, on the principle they had thus ,,cunningly
established, away from the dissolving North.
That Mr.. Seward deliberately contemplated
the temporary separation OF the cotton States, is
established by many points of evidence, and in
nothing is it more manifest than in his letter to
Mr.. Adams, (who, by the bye is full disciple of
his schooD of the 10th Of April, 1861. And if
we did not know that Mr.. Seward is a patriot,
though an added aud visionary one, we should
regard the doctrines which be enunciates in this
strange paper, with most serious suspicion.
Mr.. Seward opens this letter to Mr.. Adams
with an insidious assertion OF State Sovereignty
quite up to the mark of Fernando Wood He
then laboriously draws picture Of the wide.

The Boston Journal has letter dated on
board the United States gunboat Kennebec,
off Natchez, May IA, which says-''We arriv-
ed at this place on Monday, 18th inst The
following vessels are lying at anchor opposite
the city: United States sloop Brooklyn: lro-
quois Oneida, AMI gunboats Sciota, Wssahi-
con, Winona and Kennebec. This city has
not surrendered yet; will probably this day,
and then for Vicksburg and Memphis The
planters are destroying and burning all their
cotton, great Quantities Of which are floating
down the river every day. One planter told
me a few days ago below here, that he had
burned fifteen hundred bales Of cotton.
In the =. S. Senate, on yesterday, Mr..
Summer introduced resolution calling on the
War Department for its orders appointing pro-
visional governors for Tennessee and North
Carolina, and of any instructions given to such
governors. Mr. Sumner then addressed the
Senate detailing an alleged conversation be-
tween Gov. Stanley, Of \. c., and an abolition
negro school teacher named Collier, in which
the latter was forbidden to pursue his avoco-
ton longer in Newbern, &C., and went on to
deprecate the policy Of Governor Stanley, IN
the name Of the United States as unjust and
improper; resolution adopted.
A late arrival from the Gulf brings intelli-
gence of the capture Of several Of the class OF
vessels reported abroad as continually running
the blockade loaded with cotton. Among them
are the British sloop Annie Of fourteen tons
burthen, which ran out Of creek near Mobile,
laden with forty bales cotton; the British soop
Sarah and the Confederate sloop New Eagle,
each not larger than a frigate' launch, and
having on board fifty bales of cotton Lieut.
Calhoun, of the steamer Hunchback, reports
the capture in the rivers Of North Carolina Of
four schooners.
The New York World says The federal
government has come to a most important de-
termination. It has decided to accept all the

object of this action is obvious There is to be
