Preparations at Washington.
The Washington correspondent of th?
Baltimore Exchange famishes that papei
daily with honest views of things at the
headquarters of corruption. We make
some extracts from his letter of the 20tb:
instant:
In all that one sees and hears among
military operations here are the signs ol
vigorous, if not desperate, preparations foi
and impending clash of arms of the most
formidable character. The very quite that
prevails in the streets?the strict discipline
that reigns iust now?the busy but mysterious
going to and fro of officers from Department
to Department, and circulating around
the headquartes of General McClellan,
the Quartermaster-General and the
Provost Marshal, with bustle in their movements
and earnestness in their manner?all
indicate action, anxiety, haste. The in fl
f J !.! i.?
ow 01 munitions uuu provisions amouuis
to an inundation?not an hour in the day
that does not show from forty to fifty wagons
around the depot, rushing hither and
thither, and snatching np their loads of
harness, cartridges and fodder, to rush them
past the City Hall campward, and return
in a jifly for new burdens.
The arrivals of men, however, are not
in proportion to the importation of army
freight. Nevertheless, I am assured that
the President confidently expects reinforcements
to the amount of 75,000 from the
Northern States shortly.
Eighteen vessels, including a number of
gun-boats, are reported to have been dispatched
to Acquia Creek, to watch the
batteries and cut of all correspondence between
the two shores.
The attention of the War Department
Hseems to be especially directed to this point,
and for good chase, for it has just been
discovered that a battery of heavy siege
guns has been erected on the Maryland
shore, opposite the strip of land lying between
the Acquia and Potomac creeks.?
There is also a formidable rifle battery newly
detected near the Potomac creek. This,
is of course, a fresh sensation, and will engage,
without delay, the attention of the
Potomac flotilla, because such a disposition
of the batteries gives the Confederates the
oommand of the river.
France and Georgia?Important
Intelligence.?We believe that it may
now be safely announced that France will
take advantage of the Georgia mission, as
toe means 01 opening uipjoujuuu u^uuations
with the Confederate Government.?
"We learn from Paris that a special commission
will be sent out to the Southern States
by the Emperor. We think this important
embassy may be looked for in November?possibly
earlier. It is usual on such
occasions to convey the diplomatic agents
in a Government steamer. The French
steamer may possibly sail direct fur Savaunah,
and from there proceed to New Or
leans, calling at Havana en route.
This response to the Georgia mission explains
the semi-official announcement in the
Paris Patrie, recognizing the Constitutional
right of secession claimed by the South
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Herald writes as follows :
Parts, July 26, 1861.?This evening,
the Patrie has a most unfair, untrue and
prejudicial leader upon the affairs of the
United States. The Patrie asserts that the j
South has a perfect right to secede, quotes j
the Constitution to prove this, as the devil;
might quote Scripture, and winds up saying
that it is to the interest of France and !
Europe to recognize the revolted States.?
It is urged upon the public that a direct'
commerce with the South were most advantageous,
and hopes are expressed that there
will no longer be any occasion to pay "those j
New York merchants" the large commissions
they have heretofore pocketed. All j
this is very much to be regretted, as it can
but excite the hopes of the rebels and encourage
them to a protracted resistance.
The Lincoln ambassador is greatly exci
ted on the subject. The Georgia Commis\T

that important labor, we believe Mr. King
has been ably assisted by Monsieur Corr
Vander Maeren, of Brussels, the President
of the International Free Trade Association,
and a great friend of the South.?Atlanta

What is to be Done with the Prisoners
??Under the head of what is to be
done with the pirates, the Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Inquirer
has the following :
The question is now seriously discussed
in the Cabinet, without any definite answer
being arrived at. * * * *
I stated at the same time that the Administration
had decided not to hang any
of the sailors taken on board of the Southern
privateers. The decision was made not
from any feeliug of clemency towards the
captured sailors, but from motives of policy.
The result of the inauguration of such a
policy would be the indiscriminate murder
of hundreds of prisoners in the hands of
the rebels, including many valuable citizens
and the enactment of scenes of horror unequaled
by those of the French .Revolution
The Administration, therefore, decided as
I have said, not to hang any of the pirates.
But within a day or two the question has
been again raised in the Cabinet. At least
one member of that body is in favor, as he
expresses it, of discarding all squeamish
nonsense, and of hanging every rebel found
in arms against the Government, whether
taken on the sea or land ! Thisis undoubtedly
the course that ought to be taken, if
the Government regards this matter as simply
an insurrection. This is the view taIf
T,in/?nlri iinrl
acu U1 UJ X .WiWVU* xx.^vv/." , .? - ~~,
too, although he deplores the necessity of
such dreadful measures, is in favor of such
a course as will show to the world that wc
are in earnest in this matter, and that traitors
found in arms against the Government
must expect and receive a traitor's doom.
Mr. Bates and Mr. Blair both go for extreme
measures, regardless of consequences;
and Mr. Smith also entertains the
same views.
Substitute tor Flannel Shirts.?
The stock of flannel having been pretty well
exhausted in the Southern markets, we will
be doing the public, and especially our
brave soldiers, a service in pointing to a
cheap and complete substitute, if not a better
article, for the purposes to which flannel
is usually applied. A physician of
high reputation informs us that under shirts
made of common coarse Georgia osnaburgs
afford even greater protection against exposure
than flannel, and are far preferable in
rheumatio and other similar affoctious. Apart
from this theory, we know several geutlemen
who have been wearing them for
years, even in summer, in preference to
flannel, and they express a perfect satiss
faction with the result.?Savannah Repub:
lican.
j ??
. What Does it Mean ??Reliable intelligence
was received in Norfolk yesterday
morning from Hampton Roads. It states
P that a very formidable fleet of vessels are
r afloat there, which, connected with the fact
. that Gen. Wool has just assumed control at
i Fortress Monroe, is thought to be ominous
; of a forward and aggressive movement.?
The following Federal vessels were recognized
: The Minnesota, the Wabash, Cumberland,
Quaker City, Harriet Lane, Anacostia
and Penguin. Also the following
transports: The Philadelphia, Express,
Adelaide and Georgian, and fifteen sail
vessels. The Spanish steam frigate Petronella
was also discovered in this very bad
company.
Such an unusually large maratime force
in the Roads very naturally gave rise to
much speculation about Norfolk, and excited
some apprehension of an attempted at'
tack. Should an effort be made to enter
Elizabeth river and our gallant artillerists
at Craney Island pour one broadside into
this numerous flotilla, the obstruction in
Norfolk harbor caused by sunken vessels,
will be quite a serious matter, while the fish
in that section will feed on Yankee bodies

Kentucky.?The Louisville Journal is
informed that it is the purpose of Governor
MaGoffin to issue a proclamation at an early
day, calling upon the federal troops under
the command of Colonels Frey and
Bramlette, at different points in the interior,
to disband and retire to their homes.
From a late number of the Lexington
(Ky.) Statesman we copy the following :
"Why is a standing army placed in our
midst ? Why is our neutrality thus violated
? What are these men going to do??
What is to be the field of operation in which
this army is to be employed 1 These were
the questions which were eagerly asked on
yesterday. But no answer came. The U
nion leaders smiled significantly when interrogated,
but responded nothing.
"We do not know nor care what the purpose
of their movement, but we do know
that never was there a more wanton, wicked,
causeless war excited than is about to
be in inaugurated in this State. The men
who have instigated this movement will
have blood enough on their souls to defy
the intercession of all the angels of Heaveo.
Washington, August 20.?As the only
effective mears of checking the designs
of the enemy on Washington is to have a
military force adequate for all possible contingencies,
this will soon be supplied. The
earnest measures of the Administration to
this end have already produced here the
most happy effect, and affords reassurance
of the safety of the Capital depending ou
the patriotic responses of the North.
Messrs. Spofford & Tileston who have
two steamers running between New York
and Key West and Havana, have proposed
to subsist one officer and fifteen men on
board each vessel, to be furnished with the
proper armament and clothed with authority
to capture privateers. The Secretary of
the Navv has acceeded to the DroDOsition.
~ J 4 4
The inlets of North Carolina, it is suspected,
are not the only ones on the Southern
coast to be obstructed by the sinking
of old hulks filled with stoue. Those who
imagine that the Navy Department is uot
vigorously at work will have reason to
change their opinion, as vast results will
soon be apparent.
Richmond, August 20.?The Govemjment,
I hear, has this afternoon received
despatches by telegraph, stating that the
English Government had sent orders to
Admiral Milne, commanding the powerful
British squadron in the Gulf, to see that
British merchant vessels be adequately protected
in their ingress to and egress from
the ports of the South, over which Lincoln
claims that his paper blockade extends. I
know that high officials here believe such
to be the fact, and the members of theCabiuet
seemed highly gratified.
The French Consul here has received a
dispatch announcing the arrival of a French
war frigate at Norfolk.
Congress has to-day had under consideration
the bill providing for the sequestration
of the property of alien enemies. The
bill was framed as a retaliatory measure to

Prospect of a Revolution in Maryland.?A
special dispatch from Washington
to the New York Herald says :
The efforts of the rebels to gather Maryland
into the secession fold have not been
abandoned. It appears that there are about
fifteen hundred or two thousand rebels
there under arms. General Tilghman, of
Talbot county, Maryland, who was deposed
from his militia rank last spring by Gov.
Hicks, and subsequently restored by the
State Legislature, is organizing the disuniouists
iu the lower Cou:.ties of Maryland.
He is about to proceed to Accoruac,
take command of the Virginia forces there,
aod march them up into the middle of the
Eastern Shore of Maryland, as the nucleus
for the formation of a rebel army there,
which shall, if it cau do uothing else, control
the elcctious iu the fall so as to secure
a disunion majority iu the Legislature, and
enable the secessionists to pass a secession
ordinance, or perhaps more immediately enforce
an ordinance of secession that may be
passed by the present Legislature at an adjourned
session.
The Leesburg Battle.
The Charleston Mercury of the 21st
inst., has received from its Richmond Correspondent,
of August 20th, the following:
"There is not a particle of truth in the
report about the Leesburg fight The War
Department, received no official news of it,
though the impression prevailed here that
such news had been received."
?
JWaT- According to the New York Herald,
j John C. Breckinridge, Ex-Guv. .Morehead,
, James B. Clay and J. Young Brown are
; advertised to address a grand assemblage of
; the people near llarrodsburg, Kentucky,
I in favor of the Southern cause. These are
i strong champions, and they come forward
not an hour too soon, if they would save
I the State.
Admission of Missouri into the
Soutern Confederacy.?We have information
that a bill has been reported from
the Military Committtee, in secret session
of Congress, for the admission of Missouri
into the Confederacy. It is known that the
1 people of Missouri are now contemplating
measures to make that State a member of
the Confederacy; and the action of Congress
in admitting her now is intended to
be responsive to this disposition of the people
of Missouri and to encourage it to a
prompt determination of its purpose.
The bill, as reported from the committee,
provides for the full admission of
Missouri upon an equal footing with the
other Confederate States, upon the condition
that the Constitution for the ProvisJ
ional Government of the Confederate States
shall be adopted by her, upon official notice
of which fact by her Governor, the i
President shall, by ploclamation, announce
the fact, and her admission shall be con- '
sidered as complete. i
The bill is subject to some amendments i
of detail; but the sense of Congress is reported
to be unanimous for the admission
of Missouri before the adjournment. The
admission will probably be authorized today
by a unanimous vote, and Virginia and (
the people of the entire Confederacy will
hail the intelligence of the addition thus j
secured of another star to our national galaxy.?Richmond
Examiner. <
Civil War at toe North.?The in- j
telligence by late Northern papers speaks
of the probability of a bloody collision in
New York. The Lincoln Government, it
is known, had the Police Commissioners ,
of Baltimore arrested, imprisoned them ,
some time at Fort MoHenry, and then re- j
movej^them to Fort LaFayette, near Brook- ,
lyn. The whole proceeding was without (
law, and against all law. Since their arri- ,
val at Fort LaFayette, some citizens of New ,
York applied to a judge and obtained a ,
writ, addressed to the commander of the ,
fort, requiring him to produce the bodies of ,
the prisoners, and justify their detention.
To this order of the Court, the commander,
acting under instructions from Washington, '
refused compliance. A disposition has suddenly
exhibited itself among the people of a
New York and Brooklyn to support the
Court against the military authority. The c
Court has the right, under law, to call upon h
the malitia to enforce the execution of its c
process, and we infer from the papers that h
it is the purpose of the Court and its backera
to bring the matter to a test. We see
that the question is being discussed as to /
the force necessary to take the fort, ifj:
the wish pervades the great masses of j
Brooklyn and New York, of course the 1
power exists to crush a State Prison?
though the capture may cost blood and life-.

JSfiy A correspondent of the New Orleans
Delta pays the following tribute to
the 5th South Carolina Regiment: [
The gallant 5th South Carolina Regiment *
behaved with a bravery and determination r
which entitles them to one of the highest U
pages in the history of the battle of Manas- ?
sas. Though exposed to as hot a fire as v
any seen that day in other portions of the n
field, they stood unwaverin under the con- i!
stant rain of shell and shot, which the ene- "
my poured incessantly upon them; and had s
the occasion required, would, I am confi- d
dent, have charged without hesitation upon j
the immensely superior forces of the enemy,
which occupied such an advantageous po- ;
sition on the hill. The name of the gallant
Col. Jenkins is one which has become dear 1
to every one under his command, and respected
by those who have had occasiou to .
judge of his high military acquitemeDts,
as well'Vs his uuflinching courage upon
the battle-field. Under such officers as him,
meu will march, probably to victory, but
certainly to honor. I
Liberal.?The Edgefield Advertiser t
says:
The acceptable information has just
reached us that Win. B. Doru, our goldminer,
proffers to uniform a company to be [
formed in the district, and to subsist the c
r
families of such among them as may be i
needy, while they are in service. The propo c
sition was set on foot at a small barbaoue *
in the Squire's neighborhood, last Saturday.
when sixteen or eighteen men imme- diatelv
stepped forward. It is hoped the .
company will rapidly progress. Another
company is spoken of in the neighborhood 1
of Squire Ben. Perry, his son being at the I
head of it. {,
? .???. t
A Band of Indian Warriors.?The ,
Helena (Ark.) Shield, of the 10th inst., J1
says: i
From the Hon. C. W. Adams, of this
County, who arrived at home a few days
since from the Northern part of this State,
we learn that on last Monday week thirteen
hundred Tndian warriors?Southern allies ?crossed
the Arkansas river, near Fort
Smith, en route for McCulloch's camp.? a
These Indians were armed with rifie, butch- r
er-knife and tomahawk, and had their faces -j
painted, and seemed eager for the fray. J
? H
The following is from the London letter, ?
dated 26th of July, of the N. Y. -Veies; v
"Just as I am closing I am told that J
theSoutherr. Commissioners sent from here, J
a month ago, a complete battery of Arm- i
strong, and one of the Whitworth cannon, t
probably for New Orleans, and that they j
have actually secured the construction of 1
a stccl-clad steam frigate, of the largest c
class, in a port of Northern Europe. They J
pay too, it is said, in cash. This certainly tJ
looks like earnest work."
Missouri. 1
C
From a private source we learn that the r
redemption of Missouri will soon be com- i
plote. There are dow about 50,000 Confederate
troops on her soil pledged for her
redemption, and the battle at Springfield ;
has inspired them with new zeal.
It is thought that Seigle was mortally \
wounded or killed at the battle at Spring- '

Suoar Prospects.?The New Orleans ,
Delta says the prospects are unusually fa- J
vorable for a heavy crop of sugar this sea- son.
From every portion of the sugargrowing
region the same welcome reports J
are daily received ; and should do tempest
or premature and nipping frost intervene, |
it is safe to predict a larger harvest than ,
has ever heretofore been gathered in Louis[ana.

Savannah, Aug. 22.?It was rumored
here yesterday afternoon that a passenger by
the Charleston train reported two threemasted
vessels off Bay Point engaging each
other yesterday (Tuesday) morning, and
had fired upwards of seventy shots. When
last seen they were seemingly closing on
each other.
The brig Santa Clara, formerly of Eastport,
Maine, with a cargo of Sugar and
Molasses, captured by the Jeff. Davis, is
now safely moored at the dock here, in rear
of the Exchange.
Arrival.?The steamer General Clinch,
Captain Murden, arrived here yesterday
from Beaufort, S. C. She brought on the
officers and crew of the prize ship A. B.
Thompson, which vessel since her capture
has been lying at Beaufort. She was condemned
in the Confederate Court as a lawful
prize of war, some three weeks ago.?
The prisoners are in charge of Capt. Kirk,
of the Ninth Regimeht, who will take them
to Richmond.? Charleston Courier, 24th.
Loss of the Je?f. Davis.
Savannah, August 22.?A letter from
Fernandina, Florida, dated August 21, received
here, says: "The crew of the privateer
Jeff. Davis arrived here this afternoon.
They state that on Sunday morning,
while trying to get into St. Augustine, the
vessel struck on the bar and was lost. All
ber guns were saved, with the exception of
L.wr> smnll ones." I
Confederate Armory at Augusta. '
?The Augusta Constitutionalist says that
i Confederate Armory is to be established i
it the Arsenal near that city. The manufacture
of ammunition is now going on there
it a very rapid rate, and as soon as the ne
jessary arrangements can be made, the
manufacture of small arms will be com- ,
menced. This work will require a large J
lumber of operatives. The powder mill ,
ivill also soon be put in operation. i

iress his faitli in his Savior; and was always anxious to
ave me return before evening, lest he might die during the
light. I had entertained great hopes of his recovery and

TO FARMERS AND PLANTERS !
THE SUITIEfiN SPSD FERTILIZER!
Manufactured at Columbia, S- C.,
BY R. M. STOKES &. CO.
rIE subscribers hereby notify the
Farmers and Planters of the Southern Confederacy
that they are now establishing a factory for the production
of a commercial Fertilizer, Which they believe will he
found equal to any fertilizer heretofore purchased from the
North. All the ingredients of the SOUTHERN COMPOUND
FERTILIZER are found in nbuudancc In the
South, and only require the application of scientific knowledge
to make us perfectly independentof our enemies, even
In this particular.
Our Intention Is to sell our Planters an honest and reliable
Fertilizer, peculiarly adopted lo our own soil, climate,
and crops, and, as far as pisslhle, shield them from the
gross Impositions so frequently palmed upon them by Northern
manure manufacnirers.
Our Fertilizer contains all the elements necessary for the
food of plants, being composed of PULVERIZED NIGHT
SOIL, POTASH, DISSOLVED BONES, SULPHURIC
ACID, PLASTER and LIME. The manure thus formed,
containing a large per centnge of potash and other alkaline
salts, will render it invaluable for cotton, and will be found
to Influence the growth of all other crops sufficiently early
in the season, though not quite so promptly as Peruvian
Guano. It will hold out longer, and mature the seed per
tectly, giving decidedly tne nest crops, anu win snow iuhmi
in most instances superior to Gunno or many other of the
most popular fertilizers. We shall be ready to supply the
Fertilizer about the 5th of September.
Price, ?45 per ton of 9.000 lbs., cash, bankable
paper, or Confederate State Bonds.
