The General's proclamation ays, you are ordered to oroes ibftfrfoAUv a4d lUtar upon the soli of Virginia. Your mission is to mtor* pete* aid mmflifom. We are requested by the military authorities of the Confederate Stales, to urge upon our brethren of the Press, throughout the South, itia importance of abstaining from all specific allusion to the movements of troops. The very wisest plana of the Government may be thwarted by an untimely or otherwise injudi cious exposure. The above, from tha Savannah “ Republi can/' is a regulation which should have been long since adopted. We commend it to tbe particular attention of our friends of the Press. We shall hereafter omit all mention of the passage of troops through this city.—Editor Cuxonicl*. ptf We find the foregoing in the Augusta “Chronicle A Sentinel”ol the 5th instant.— There are some things about these reported re quests of our authorities that we do not under stand. When President Davis and Suite passed through here en route to Richmond, the Press of Atlanta were requested not to mention it, and we all faithfully complied with that re quest The President made a speech, and bo did Mr. Wfgfall, which we were very anxious to pat into our paper. We know that ail our readers would have perused these speeches with avidity; but we refrained from giving even the name of any individual along that would, in tbe remotest degree, have conveyed the idea that the President had parsed through here. Judge of our surprise, and even morti fication, when we saw in the Augusta papers the arrival of the President and Suite duly ehronicled, blazoned abroad, and an account of their speeches given also. We do not know whether the same request was made of the Press of Augusta that was of us here, and waa disregarded by them, or not; but we do feel that there is something wrong about this mat ter, and that it does not lie at tbe door of the Atlanta Press. We have been in the habit of noticing the passage of all military companies through our city—giving their destination, Ac. If there ia any impropriety in this, and w$ are informed of it* we will quit it; but we want to see all our cotemporariea do the same thing, when we do. Any thing for tha good of our country, but don’t impose restrictions upon ns, from which our cotemporaries are exempt. Military Operatlous In Virginia. North-Western Virginia, comprising a few of those abolitionfzed counties that lately vot ed against Secession, has been bravely invad ed by Lincoln’s troops undsr Col. Kelly. They took possession of Wheeling. They pushed on in a train to Mannington, and stopped long enough to arrest five Seceasionists—being nearly all there were in tbe place. An inves tigation was at once held when three of them ware released and two held. One was named Mathews, Superintendent of tbe section of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail road ut ih it poll t and tha other was named Sandgraas, and was a Constable. Tha trains were again taken by the invading army, until they came to a bridge which some patriot had burned. Six compa nies were then detailed to go to Farmington, n diataooe of three miles, for the purpose of oapturiog some fifty Secessionists, among whom it was said were the men who burned tbe Railroad bridges. Those who remained •eat out scowls and squads of men, aud made a number of arrests. In the evening the six companies returned from Farmington, with a few prisoners, hav ing killed one Secessionist, as they said, and wounded anoth«7. They found the town eo^ tirely deserted, and began to scour tbs coun try. The mon whom thry shot, were found running, and were instantly fired at, because they would not stop and surrender—killing one and woundiog another. Tbe Secessionist!, as tha friends of the Sooth are oalied ia that Motion, teok posses- rion of Grafton on Sunday last with 1200 troops, but evacuated it on Monday. This comet from an abolition source, and we know not kaw reliable it is. As soon as tbs Sects sion troops evacuated the place, a grand rush was made on it by the Ohio black Regimen^ Bad the abolition Lnieniiis they bad gather* ed op in that Sodom of Virginia. It was ta ken possession of by them oft Monday even Uf. DISTANCES—BRIDGES, AC. The disianoa from. Wheeling to Grafton is I'M) miles. From Wheeling tf Meuniagios tbe dtstBBM is 00 miles.

Howell Cobb in this place, which appeared in our daily is sue of tbe 24th May, without giving us credit, Tbe reporting of that speech, and preparing it for our columns, cost ua far more labor than tbe writing of an editorial of the same length and we are, therefore, the more entitled to credit for it.

' * W WPi>rl-l»U On Saturday there came to tbe city a well authenticated declaration that a flgbtoccurred between two pioket guards of tha armies, near Fairfsx Court HottfS, In the vicinity of Alex' aodria, each numbering about25 men. The “ Blacks * were stated to have been totally routed, losing seven or eight killed and others woemled. Our loss waa represented to have been one or two killed aod perhaps as many wounded. Capt. Marr of Fauquier, a gallant officer aad member of ike Btate Convention, was re ported to have been killed. Later and more reliable intelligence says that a considerable body of United States horsemen galloped rapidly into Fairfax Court House, about day break ia the morning, with the hope to surprise and cut to plecrs a small body of soldiers they knew to be stationed there. f Cspt. Marr wss instantly killed by them, and several others eerioudly woanded. Onr men Immediately recovered from their astonishment end fought, it is said, with the ferocity of tiger*—scattering tbe marauders, who came ts thieves in the night, like chaff before the wind. Fully fifteen of their party were killed on the spot, a good many severely wounded, and an equal number of valuable horses captured by our brave little band, who, in the defense of their homes and flag, fought as did the heroic Jackson—each showing, like him, th* unconquerable spirit of a Marco-Bos- saris. There can be no doubt that we are now on the eve of important and bloody battles, and notes of preparation will soon give place to tbe clash of resounding arms. The people art demanding with one loud voice that the hell- born vagabonds who have invaded their sacred soil, captured their cities, murdered in cold blood their inhabitants, and outraged their shrieking women, shall be consigned at one gi gantic sicoop of our brave armies, to the ever lasting overthrow and destruction they so richly deserve. Our forces will no longer remain idle. Ag gressive movements and pressing invitations to battle from the Confederate troops must now be looked for. Ten thousand soldiers are ex pected to paas through here on to-morrow, des tined for some of the points where engage ments are early contemplated. Gen Bonham of South Carolina, with about 10,000 men under his command, is within 20 miles of Alexandria, where, at present, he is making a stand. His men are said to be eager and panting for a fight, and are prevented with greet difficulty from marching to Alexandria where are quartered Lincoln's army of inva sion, who retreated from wRere they had for merly advanced into the city to avoid a battle with Bonham’s South Carolinians, although they exceeded them at tbe time in numbers.— Bonham may, within the next day or two, be ordered to attack the Lincolnites at Alexan dria, and both armies be strengthened and swollen by reinforcements until the battle at that point shall be made teiribie and decisive in its results. About 20,000 troops guard Harper’s Ferry, and the place has been so strongly fortified that the best military judgments now declare it to be perfectly impregnable. The approach es to tbo place are all defended by heavy and numerous pieces of artillery; and an assault by any number of men, it is believed could be easily repelled. The chivalrous game-cock of Virginia—Hen ry A. Wise—ia now in tbe eity organizing a famous body of soldiers to be called the “ Wise Legion.” Tbe Division will soon be muttered nto service, and will be very large in num bers, end its material the finest that tbe first and best families of the Old Dominion can furnish. President Davis, in company with the Gov ernor and Mayor, visited on Friday last, th* Camp of Iustiuction,” situated on the border of the city, aud whilst reviewing the troops there, a soldier who stood near him ia the ranks, rushed frantically forward and throw ing hia arms about the neck of the warrior President, kissed him with tender earnestness. After the incident, the President addressed soma stirring remarks to tk* military, which elicited their warmest applause. On yeeterdaj, however, an event occurred that seemed to oast a dark shade over the faces of our brave military i t large portion of a Tennessee Regi ment of Volunteers refuted to accept the guns, flint-lock muskets, tendered them by the State. Gov. Wise, in a speech made at the BpotUwood Hotel last night, declared such conduct to be cowardly and treasonable, and said if no guns could be proeured, they must fight with scythe blades, piteh-ferkl* er pikes like those prepared bj John Brown for tha flrtt invasion of the blessed old Commonwealth- The remarks were greeted with load ap plause.

Borne of the la dies loft tewn; but most of them, although be- lieving wa were te have a rough, volgarerowd midst, could not bo made to beliavathet Southern soldiers oould be found who would insult women, and do injury to tbeir own de fenseless people. Early in the morning these soldiers arrived, to th* number of five or six hundred. They xed freely with our people—were in our yards and our bouses—ate at our tables, and rece.ved at our hands such refreshments as we were able to give them ; but not one insulting rude word was spoken by them to any one —man, woman or ohild. They acted as gen tlemen—wishing to pay for everything they re ceived—and desiring to be so considered. Af ter wa had seen tha Zouaves* the gentlemen from your city who hud notified us of their coming appeared to be awiully frightened themselves. They were visited at tbe Railroad depot, and entertained with music and soul- stirring songs, such only as soldiers can sing. No soldiers have passed through our village who have conducted themselves better than these, and, considerng their number, it is a matter of surprise, that, during a stay of more than four hours, there waa not some one among them who would have acted badly. They left Decatur on an extra train, at 9} o’clock, leaving everybody pleased, having won our respect, and giving us tbe assurance, that, while they were gentlemen* Linooln’s people should learn that they were capable of acting “ rudely,” to tbe glory of the Zouaves, id of tbe Confederate States. But* while we were pleased with the Louisi ana Zouaves, we feel that tbe Atlanta authori ties have nothing to be proud of in thair treat ment of this body of our soldiers, nor of the motive that prompted them ia refasiag to al low them to stop in your city; but hurried them through to a defenseless village. If they were such men as jrourcity authorities believed them to be, it was too bad to put them upon as, when you feared to keep them in your own limita, with some ability to prevent any disturbance by tbem. That golden rule our Savior taught has certainly been lost sight of by the city au thorities of Atlanta. The excitement of having aix hundred strangely dressed and savage looking men in our town being over* a large portion of tbe oldest and worthiest citizens of the couuty met in the Court House, and, under their recom mendation, tbe Inferior Court authorized tbe issuing of Cuuaty bonds, payable the first day of January next, to tbe amount of five thous and dollars, for the relief of the destitute fam ilies of those who have volunteered from our county, in tbe Army of the Con federate States. A Committee of responsible men in every Dis trict in tbe county was appointed to dispose of these bonds, and apply the proceeds in such way as will tend most to the advancement of the objects of the appropriation. ^The people of DeKalb county are fully arous ed, and ara willing* if neoeeeary* to offer up tbe last drop of their blood, and every cent of tbeir treaeare* in defense ef the independence and honor of our glorious Confederacy. We have already nearly ona hundred and fifty true rnen in service, and two more Companies are being organised in the county, with every proauect of snoeeas. Respectfully yours, MILTON A. CANDLER.
