Mistakes of the Rebel Naval De; ie stract from the Auanta Confederacy, March 23.) @ grand achievement of the Virginia ram has com- pletely electrided our citizens. The defeat at Fort Donel- son Las been swailewod up. by the glorious news from Hampton Roads, The probability is that the women's gunboat fund will be dovoted to the construction of a ram for ovr harbor. Rew much better it would have been had our Navy Department ordered the building of iron- clad rams, instead of the hght gunboats, which are much inferior to the Northern built. Had they done so, how eagy it would be to open the ports of Charleston, Savan- nati, Mobile, New Orleans, &¢, Tet us hope they will profit by the la e success of the Virginia. Phere is @ strong pressure here un favor of". change in the Catanet. ‘The uni- vereal feeliny is in favor of an aggressive. policy, the adop- tion of which would infuge new vigor throughout the confederacy, This policy, it is thought, Beauregard will oe urate, should he defeat the enemy at Corinth or olee- where. ent, What Must Be Done at Savannah, Ga.

We cannot see that Pulaski has given the enemy any particular advantage that they did not possess before, as they have had control of much of the river above that work for some months past, They can now bring in heavier vessels, it is true, but with the limited chan- uel for then to operate in, if they can whip us at all, they have gunboats of light draugh: sugicient to accomplish net consulted with military men on the prac- ability of defending ourselves, nor do we care to do it.

These are our homes, this is Georgia suil, aad whatever the odds may be, we should be reedy to dispute the passege of the enemy with ourlives, for life ig worthless under the foul dominion that is sought to be extended over us. Freomen or slaves—wbe will hesitate which of the two to choose, or to lay down his life rather than bow bis neck to the heel of an abolition oppresser? It appears tous that we have some peculiar advan- tages in the remaining portion of the struggle—at least thai the two sides approach nearer to an equality thay atany former period of the fight. In the first place we would exercise the utmost v: » and under bo cir- cumstances allow the enemy (o plant a shore battery higher up the river than these already constructed. The river bauks on the Carolina side and the islands opposite to Thunderboit and Causton’s Bluff should be carefully watched and strongly guarded. Approaches by land -being cut off the river is left as the only medium of attack. - That iw narrow, and but few vessels can figbt abreast. We have strong Datteries pro- lectod chiefly by earthworks, and with guus equal to ihe best in the service. The steel pointed slugs, so de- structive wheg direuted against masonry, have no je- caliar advantages inacontest with mud fortifications. We are there‘ore of the opinion, and we give it with. all due respect and humility, that if the batteries are weil foughi—fought as Georgians should tight then.—Georg.- ans threatened with political chains and slavery—that the enemy will never be able to attain a point with his ships within shelleng of toon. Let our fire from ali direc- tions be concentratcd upon the foremost vesseis, and we cannot see what is to prevent us from siukiag enough of thei 40-completely bleck up the chanucl and then en- able us to drive off the rest thas eball come witbin range of our guns, Above al! things, lei cur troops remember that there works are -the ‘barriers between the enemy aud our- ives.

Glorious is the death iucurred in asiruggle agaiust oppression, and worge than ten thou wud deaths await us if we should fail, Let us remember she reputation of Georgia is entrusted to our keep- g, and that ube fate of an empiro, which, if successful in this revolution, is destined to become the most gia- rious upea which the sun of Heaven hus ever stone to @ very important extent, committed to our handy. Georeia subdued, well may the rest of her sister Confederates tremble for their fate!

No little doubt and anxiety exist in this city in refe. reuce to the movements and whereabouts of the enemy's Gulf fleet. One moment it is reported that the number of (ederal ships is increasing at the head of the passes, wext that all but four or five have disappeared, We ve reason to believe that about the same force ig io he river below as was there a few days ago. At all events, we do not think that Gen. Lovell, whoris thoroughly apprised of the situation below, aud ex tremely active in his arrangements concerning it, euter tains the belief that the enemy has evacuated the mouth of the river. Certainly the enemy's pre- sence has not been without meaning. It is very probable that he meditates a simultaneous altack upon Forts Jackson and Philip and Fort Pile, and will a/- tempt to reduce at the sametime our river and our lake cgences The reasons why he should hasten to attack | are obvious, if he means to attack. Warm weather ia rapidly approaching, and the deadly heat of the Gulf and lake coasts, combined with pestilence, will mit more Tavages in his expeditions than a dozen bat- des w He must strike early or bis aria wili be poralyzed, He may make a few faint demonstrations, & few tentative approaches; but in a short time he must strike in earnest, if he intends to strike. He vidently dreads the encounter, but he must meet it, or he must retire with a confession of failure. Within a woek the fight for the city on the river and the lakes may commence.

Tantalizing Stience Rega rding ‘No. 10.” Rebel editors are very slow believe that Isiand No. 10, with all ite garrison and munitions of war, surrendered to the Union forces. The revel Cabinet pre- serves a profound silence on the subject, which fairly agonizes the ‘knights of the quill” in Secessia, and they are loudly calling out for official information regarding it.

The daily bulietin from Isiand No. 10 for many days represented that (be cuewy, after an incessant bombardment of many hours, had inficted no injury. We were constantly assured that the place ‘was impregnabie, and that the enemy never could pase it. Brigadier General Makal! assumed command of the post on the 5th in a flaming order, in which he pro- nounced himself a ‘General made by Beauregard—a Generai selected by Generals Beauregard and Bragg.” Two days afterwards the island was surrendered, and along with it, according to the federal Commodore Foote, seventy cannon, varying {rom 32 to 100-ponders, rifled.

Aunany, April 22, 1862. ‘The straignt republicans assembled in ¢aiicus last evening after the adjournment of the Houses. Jt ap) pears that there was quite an extensive feeling not togign the address and resolutions agreed upon at the Legislative caucus on last Friday evening. There was a general whisper about that only a half a dozen straight republicans would append their names to that document, A caucus was therefore called to drill them into line, They assembled in the Assembly Library and talked the mat- ter over at much length. Messrs. Rice, Loveridge and other Weed republicans from the strong republican coun ties of the West, opposed it strongly, declaring thats union would do them no good; besides, thoy were not sent here to make parties and platforms, and that they would be laughed at when they returned home. A like feeling seemed to pervade the caueus to a con” siderable extent. No person present raised any particular objection to tho address as it stood, but there wasa strong feeling against the union. Mr. Raymond all this time was apparently on the ansious seat, He made one of his characteristic appeals for the republicans to stand by tho action of the caucus. ‘The union movement was inaugurated at Syracuse last fall, State officers and members had been elected under that movement who had stood by them through, out, and he thought it their duty to continue the union, and let all who desired unite with them, Ho made an earnest appeal, evidently laboring under great fears that it would not be endorsed. At this stage of the proceedings, Senator Cook and several others left tke room. Mr. Pryne soon after came into the room, and bis advice was asked. He ro- plied that he had no advice to give; but, in his decisive and impulsive manger, stated that he should unhesita- tingly append his name to the document. This gavo courage to some who were wavering. Mr. Reddington said he would sign it; others came to the same con- clusion, and Mr. Raymond’s countenance at once ex- pressed groat relief. The indication were when they adjourned that about four-tifths of the straight republi- cans would sign the decument. Mr, Raymond has been quite busy to-day in urging members to sign it. Many are yet holding out. - The Apportionment Dill agreed upon by the Conference Committee last night was agreed upon by both Houses today by a handsome majority. The apportionment is as fellows:— Dit. 1-~Suffolk, Queens and Richmond counties. 2—Towns of Kings county, and the Sixth, Fighth, Ninth, Tenth, Twelfth, Fourteenth, Seventeenth and Eight- eenth wards of the city of Brooklyn. 3—The First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Ele- venth, Thirteenth, Fifteenth and ‘Ninetconth wards of the city of Brooklyn. 4—The First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Fighth wards of the city of New York. 5—The Tenth, Thirteenth and Fourteenth wards of tho city of New York. 6—The Ninth, Fifteenth and Sixteonth wards of the city of New York. 7—The Eleventh and Seventeenth wards of the city of New York. 8—Tho Fighteenth, Twentieth and Twenty first wards of the city of New York. 9—The Twelfth, Nineteenth, and Twenty-sccond wards ‘of the city of New York, and Blackwell's, Ward’s aud Randali’s islands. 10—Counties of Westchester, Rockland and Putnam. 11—Counties of on n and Sullivan. 12—Counties of Dutchess and Columbia. 13—Counties of Uister and Greene. 14—Counties of Albany and Schoburie. 16—Counties of Rensgelaer and Washington. 16—Counties of Clinton, Essex and Warren. 17—Conntics of Franklin and St. Lawrence.

The Senate amendments to the bil! providing for the reorganization of the militia were concurred in by a large yote, The measure only awaits the signature of the Gov- ernor to become a iaw. ‘The Senate passed fifteen or twenty bills and concurred in the Assembly amendments to several others, There was asort of cleaning up arrangement in that body all the morning.

It may, however, be moved, as tue Broadway Railroad was in the Arsembly laet evening, just for the purpose of allowing somo of the members to put themselves on record against it who have been for it heretofore. The motion to make broad. way the special order in the House last evening enabled Raymord and several others who voted for the bill at an early stage of the session to record their votes against it now, $0 that they can go home and say that they voted against it. That is all that it was moved for, and 1 say those who changed imagine that the people are all green cough to swatlow that bait, ‘The vill iu regard to the enlargement of the locks on the canal, 60 a8 to admit of (he possage of geuboats for the defence of the frontiers, was this afternoon approved by the Governor.

A motion was made to dwcharge the committee, which was supported by Mossrs, Pierce, Pryne and others, Mr. Pryne accusing the committoo of desiring to hold the whip and lash over the lobby. Mr. Stetson, of the committee, replied, giving all hands a severe rakivg, and forced them all to retract their insinuations against him, Thero was for some time indications of a decided storm, It finally subsided, the committee was discharged and their testimony or- dered to be printed. The Se.ate, uncer outside pressure, held another exe- cutive sesssion late this afternoon, A motion was made immediately after aesembiiug to reconsider the vote by which Mr. Jerome was rejected at the former executive session, After a short debate this motion was carried by Senators Folger, Low and one or two others changing front, and the motion was carried. The question was then taken on confirming the nomination, which was carried by vote of 14 to 12—not @ vote to spare at that, The vote would never have been reconsidered had it uot nfor the fact that Mr. Brainard, whose placo Mr. rome would take, would not hold over, he baving been ‘appointed to Gill a vacancy ,and without the action of the Se but,as it is, Raymond has secured bis harbor master, but with great difficulty.

A spicy debate arose on that question.
