The plan proved successful. 'I he enemy followed slowly and eaidionsly after Hampton's division, when on hearing Major General Lee's guns on their Hank, I pressed upon them vigorously in frout. I hey at first resisted my attack stubbornly, hut once I roken. the rout was complete. I pursued them from within three miles of Warreiiton to Ihiehland, the horses at full speed the whole di lance, the enemy retreating in great confu sion. Major Geni'tai Lee hail attacked them in flank jn-t below Ruckland. We captured about '•.OH pris. inerh, 8 wagons arid ambulances, anus, horses and epuipuieuts. The rout was the moi.t complete that any cavalry has ever stfUi f, and during this war, < oi. in,; at Ruckland, General Fit/. Lee push' and down the pike towards Gainesville, while I. with the few men of Gordon's and Rosser's brigades who could be collected after our unusually long chase, moved around to our lctt, and pressed down towards Hay-market. Here I encountered, besides a large cavalry force, tin- lir.T army corps, who retired a short distance beyond Hay-market, on the Carolina road. I attacked their infantry pickets by moonlight, and scatteled them over the Helds, capturing'many. General Lee pressed down lo within a short distance of Gainesville, when he encountered their infantry, and captured pris oners from the lirst army corps oil that road also. The pursuit was continued until after jlaik The cavalry force was commanded by Kilpatrick, and composed of ten regiments. Most respectfully, (Signed) .1. M. li. Stl'aht, Major Gen'l. Ottieial: Jxo.

Tim Kn urr a r Ohahi.rkvown— From a gentle man just in from Western Virginia the Rii-li - moud /viM/inter gets some interesting particulars of the altaekon Charlestown Virginia, by ’General I'iiioukn in fact, the first authentic aocnmit we have had <d Ihe ufiair. Week before last General linlro.h-ll eonceired the idea oi .1 movement on Chailestowu, with* view of surpiiging mid Oaphiriiig'Huj.a.m i-i u, stores, supplies, &e. ‘Accordingly, all being ready, he sniffed out from Berry vile. forChai lestown wikii his command—of what number it is not prudent to say on the morning of Tuesday, tin- 1 Slh about two o'clock.' Alter a inarch of some four or five hours—about seven o clock the morning Charlestown was reach ed. whereupon a halt was ordered and a flag ot truce sent in. under charge ot'Captain McNeil, demanding a surrender of the enemy’, which was ivnised. • The enemy's position and confidence no doubt prompted this (elusabof surrender. Ho wasTtreugly barricaded. The court house and jail had been converted into temporary foils, and I heir walls bad been pierced by port holes. : The jail was held by them as a venerable spot, for it is tbe same one in which old John Brown was eon lined, and they declared that it should never he taken," at the same lime adding fur ther defiance by sii’iging and "shouting that fa mous uhoiilioti melody. -Old John Brovin's bones lie in uldering in the giave,” Ac.

The tire soon became too hot for the enemy, and be was quickly thriven from his places of shelter, and rapidly retr ated from the town. In this flight lie was closely pursued by our cavalry, Major White's halation leadingvin the charge. We succeeded in taking four hundred mid thir ty four .prisoners, with all their arms and equip ments, and medical stores mid-supplies. ,On being- driven to retreat, the enemy inl ine liately communicated with Harper's Ferry, a distance of hut eight miles, and the result was that lie was speedily reinforced with two regiments of infantry, two batalions of cavalry and six piccies of artillery. But it was too late Gel). Imbode-s had oecumplished his object- ad.ish and surprise of the garrison -and fell hack in good order with a rich haul of provi sions and supplies. The afluir was a complete success, and our men returned from it in the best spirits,though having marched with either lint little food or rest.

GA. WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER US 1888 I IN At ULK AL Alt KK*s( ILOV ItKOVNA. I &ndfo»’w tiiol HbpreftnUtl'uei : In entering upon the discharge i.f the labori ous and iv?f|x>iisible duties of the Executive oftioe for the fourth term, i trust 1 fee! duly sensible of tbe obligation whk h 1 am under to the people ot Georgia, lor the renewed evidence ot continued Confidence which they have re cently givou me, alter six years' service in the eventful and trying era of our history. In all candor 1 beg leave to assure you, that 1 give utteranco’to tlie seiitimeuU of my heart when I declare, that I tiel profoundly impressed with Ihe weight of responsibility which their gener ous confidence Ims ii posed upon me, in this gloomy period of suffering and distress. It to be called to preside over the affairs of a great State in times of profound peace, is an honor worthy of the ambition of an enlightened statesman, and carries with it responsibilities which our ablest aud best men assume with di fidence, how great the obligation, and how vast the rosponsii ility, of him who is invited to tlie helm ot State, amid the darkness and gloom which surround a people in the throes of revo lution ; when the existence of the State anil the liberties of her inhabitants are threatened by an unscrupulous, vindictive and powerful foe. But great as the responsibilities of the Exec utive are, let it not be forgotten that those of the legismtire department are no less weighty. Without the assist m e of your counsels, and aid ol yonr calm ami wise deliberation, I can not expect to guide the ship of .State, lashed I y turbulent waves, safely through Ihe breakers which lie before her, when she is constant y tossed to und fro by angry billows. 1 come, Senators and R- presen hi fives, in this trying hour lo meet you in a spirit of amity and conciliation, prepared to sacrifice tor har mony everything hut principle. Laying aside all past party predilections and prejudices, I am prepured to unite with you in carrying out such measures and enacting such laws as will pro mote the best interest anil perpetuate the rigtits and the sovereignty of our noble old State? sustain onv gallant armies in the field, main tain their loved ones at home, and establish forever onr Confederate independence by the triumphant success of our glorious cause.— Trusting and believing that your bosoms are heaved by similar impulses, and that you are urepared to immolate predjudice and passion up on the burning altar of patriotism, 1 cannot doubt that you have assembled to take har monious counsel together, to maintain the great principles ol constitutional liberty which un derlie the very corner stone of our government, and tbe Constitution tlie watchword of our cause. Driven by the injustice and oppression of those with whose ancestor*our fathers were com panions in’ arms aud around the council board, to sunder the ties which bound us in a comicc tiJlr profitable only to them, hut ruinous to us, we proclaimed our independence and our ina lienable right ol self government. As we could ho longer live in harmony together, we admitted hi them the same right of self-govern ment which we claimed for ourselves. VV-e re spected not only Iheir political rights hut their l ights of pi hate property. Wc neither burn ed their cities, insulted their wives, desecrated tlie alters of their religion, nor disturbed the resting places of their dead. We only asked to he permitted.to depart in peace. They rejected our peace offerings, denied our right to govern ourselves, spurned our propo rtions for amicable adjustment, and waged a cruel and unjust war upon us, which they have prosecuted with lmmitigat. and fury and more than savage lerocit.y. flavingstaked life, char acter. independence, and the liberties of our selves aud our. posterity upon the issue, we.have thrown our proud banner to the breeze, und appealed to the God ol' battles to sustain-the right, lin'd give.us victory-over those who have hot only wronged us, lint who now contemplate our subjugation anil our ruin. With Uod's help we must, wo Cun, we will succeed. In deed there is now no half-way ground left Ils We must either exhibit to the world a new born po ter,in whose midst is a temple of lib erty, whose splendor and iimgnilieeiiee eclipses all others; or shrouded in darkness and chains, we must sink-id tlie. position of the .most ab ject slaves. . To insure success it is 'only, necessary, .that our people endure" hardships and privations with tlie same forttlH.de and determination, which prompted the. action of our ancestors of 1/7 G. Onr troops in the field have set a glorious example, which challenges the approbation and merits the itnitettou of all who remain al home. With more 'than Roman firmness they have endured fatigues, privations and dangers of the most .embarrassing character. With, more than Spartan valor they have met tire heavy columns of the enemy in deadly conflict, and have driven igick their broken ranks in consternation and dismay. Often thinly clad, with naught but Heavens hrouil -canopy, as. a teiit, and earth's native carpeting- as a conch, they have borne without a murmur the chilling blasts of winter, and the docending Hoods of spring. Amid th« fury of battle, neither the thunder of cannon, the roar of musketry;'nor the clash of bayonets, has daunted t heir courage urn" shaken their determination. "A n'.-ffde hand of patriotic heroes! they have known no am bition lmt to do their duty, no interest lmt to serve their country, and 110 fear lmt to offend their maker. With Heaven's blessing upon them, such men, battling in such a cause, are invincible, ■ , Let us as legislators stand by their'constitu ional right's here, while they defend our liber ties in the field ; and lit 11s provide lor their, support andTor the-wants of their families at home, as'hmg as a dollar'of tbe wealth o; the .-State remains subject to taxation. But I must not forget ttre ure'ed of praise so justly ihie to the noble women o. the (’unfed er&te States.: They have saved millions of dol lars to Hie common treasury by the work of their own bauds. They irtivo fed the hungry and clothed the naked. But tins’ is not' Hick noblest work. Woman's virtues shine most brilliantly in the hour of, distress, xvlieu adver sity tries men’s apuls. , . When on account of the superior numbers and other advantages of the enemy, defeat for a.time has attended our arms, and costhl' nee has Waned and strong men h'ai’C ti-«|nhie,l ; then the feeble,"yet potent.voice of. woman has been heard, pleading the cause of liberty and posterity in sweet pathetic tones, which have pierced the patriot’s heart", and nerved the hero’s arm to strike the blow,'which haS-rolled li n k tin* dark cloud of war, and caused lo he inflected from its black uinl angry folds, the resplendent sunbeams of returning confidence and reanimated hope. But if you would see woman in her noblest charity, go to the couch of the sick or wounded soldier, where like the good Samaritau she pours in the oil anil the wine, and soothes the suffering with words of encouragement and con solation ; or see her kneeling by the side of the dying hero, and as liis panting spirit struggles for release from its cold tenement, and the clammy sweat courses luahly down his brow, hear her voice of supplication ascend ng to heaven with liis dying groans,"pleading for his accept nice into the saints’ everlasting rest. Without the assistance of the women of the first revolution our liberties would never have been achieved. And without the energetic ef f rts and moral support of the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of the Goufederate States our liberties would before this time have been lost. With their continued effort and God’s blessing upon it, we will yet avenge the blood of their slain relatives, and they shall see their country free, and sing the song of deliverance as Aaron’s sister sang, when God had given victory by his outstreted arm aud His own Al mighty power. Remembering the sacrifices ewe as a people have made, the sufferings which we have en dured. the noble Southern blood which our en emies have spilt, the deadly hats which they I -'eel toward us, the cruel wrongs which our fe | males have encountered, and Lhe degredaliou, ! bondage ami. chains which await us ami om i posterity if we are subjugated J h t us humbly iu Mike the ail of Almighty power, ami laying | aside all past differences, ami peisoual consul j . rations, let us gather around our country s I altar, ami while we arden'ly desire peace up pu honorable terms, lei us here again renew, the solemn pledge to eacji other, that come lile or death, come weal or woe, we will le vci sheathe .the sword till con .lilulional liberty is establish ed, Georgia is free, and these -Confederate Mates are recognised by all Hie World, an in dependent power.

The Government cannot fur nish these men. Shall private munificence fail?

The Confederate Salt works along the Gulf of Mexico on the Mississippi coast have been destroyed by the Federals.

I-HUM NOItTII UEOItGIA AND TE.N.NEM'-es Major long, of East Tennessee was arrested by Burnside some time ago, und condemned to be hung. It was alleged that he wits recruit ing within the Federal* lines. When Col. Clift was captured, lie was thus engaged, in this business. Gen. Bragg at once dispatched a messenger to Burnside, with the assuinuce that if Major Long was executed Col. ('lift would suiter the same late. While Col. Clift was finder this sentence, hi j son. one of the bravest men in the Southern army, visited him Tlie meeting is described as extremely touching Tlie father bowed his head in sorrow and shame, and uttered not a word ; the son gave him his band, slating that a fathomless abysses now separated them, and that lie could only hid him adieu and .asdt God to pardon his betrayal ot tiis State. The answer of Burnside to theue mandril Bragg was. that he had liot'heard of Major Long. Mite inference is that Long has already been executed, and it is probable fliat- Col. Clift is doomed. On Friday night last, the telegraph wires were cut between Cleveland and Charleston. East Tennessee, and a number of rails 011 Ibe railroad track left, loose, the spikes being drawn. The engine was throxvu from the track, but no damage done. 'ienuessee was especialy exempted by Presi dent Lincoln from tlie operation of his procla mation abolishing negro slavery. Yet every negro has been taken from his home and in duced by bribes or throats to make known tlie places of concealment of tho-effects of their masters. The negroes are then employed as teamsters and in working on the fortifications at different points. T hey are declared to bo free by Burnside and bis subordinates, and in Knoxville tlie wives of some of our wealthiest citizens have been .made to cook for Federal officers. When Burnside first occupied Knoxville, In issued, an order th it 110 stock or property should be taken without compensation. Tins induced many who had sent their stock away to bring it beck. The Federals, however, in a little while seized all the stock they could find without paying for it. Tbe most active party in causing the arrest of ioya! persons in Knoxville, is a man who once was confined in State prison. - 'Pile late general order from Genorat Bragg’s headqadaters, providing that every non com missioned officer and soldier who secures a re cruit and causes him to be mustered into the service, shall be entitled to a furlough of not less than forty days, is already working admira bly. With n three hours after the reception of the order, upwards of fifty men in one regi ment alone had fastened their clutches upon delinquents at home, and had written to their relations to adopt measures for their immediate transfer to tlie army. It is stated that tho Federals have thirteen army corps in and around Chattanooga. On in pickets are now stationed within two hnndredand fifty yards-of those of the enemy. Notwithstanding the bad weather our troops are cheerful. They have plenty to eat, plenty of fuel, and are anxious for battle. The rumored raid off Bristol, Va., by Feder als in upper East Tennessee is incorrect. A gentleman from Knoxville says that there is but little Union teeling in that city. Tho jail in Knoxville has been full of Southern sym pathizers ever since tlie Federals took posses sion ot tbe place. When the rumors of Rose grans’ defeat reached Nashville, no one was al lowed to talk about it in (lie streets. AH who did were put in jail. Bunisideand his Generals were confident that the rebellion would be crushed in a little while. The bushwhackers in. East Tennessee are still on the increase—brother bushwhacks brother. The Union men shoot a loyal citizen every ( bailee they get, and a number of Morgan’s dis banded men or stragglers in their turn bush whack the Unionists. Neither party shows much mercy. Brig. Gen. Mock all has, at his own request, been relieved of duty in Bragg’s Department, ami has been ordered to report to Gen. John ston, in Mississippi. •The Macon Telegraph learns front a gentle man just from the battlefield of C'hickamauga, that tjiero are about one hundred and fifty of the enemy’s dead remaining on the field all stripped ol their shoes, and some few of their pants. The dead bodies are quite offensive, and but from its remoteness from the encamp meut of our army, a distance of about eight or ten miles, would produce sickness among the troops. The road from Chickamauga Station to the camps of Bragg’s army is very much cut up on account of the recent rains in that region and the immense travel over the road, and is in al most as bad a condition as the road from Cen troville to Manassas in 1861. A telegram was published about the Ist of Octolier, announcing that “Col., Avery and his battalion were captured.” This is an error.— Though Col. Avery’s command (the 4 th Georgia Cavalry,) suffered heavily in the battles of the Chickariiauga, and in Wheeler’s late raid into Tennessee, neither he nor his command were captured, and he is now acting Brigadier Gen eral,'taommauding-a Georgia brigade in Whar ton’s Cavalry Division, Mrs. B. H. Helm, widow of the late Gen. Helm, who fell in the battle of Chickamauga, asked Gen. Bragg to grant her permission to join her friends at the North, having no relatives or connections in this country, and being entirely dependent. Gen. Bragg at once consented, and she prepared for the journey, not doubting that her own people would aid her. But on a flag of truce being sent to Gen. Thomas, in forming him that Mrs. Helm, a sister of Mrs! President Lincoln, desired to return to her friends, and of her present condition, he bru - tally refused. A etter from a privat soldier, on picket duty in Gen. Bragg’s army to a relative in Columbus, states that a short time since be exchange* I with a Yankee picket a solitary biscuit for a silver dollar/and that a Yankee Captain bad made the magnilieieut offer of a fine overcoat for two biscuits. The Yankee has digested the cov eted food, and is, doubtless, again hungry, hut the coat still covers the form of the Confederate soldier and will keep him comfortable through the long nights of the coming winter. Thom as’ men must be getting “hard up’’ for provi sions. Col. Dodamead has put up seven bridges and replaced seven miles of railroad destroyed by the Yankees, in the space of twoweeks. It is in contemplation to put the East Tennessee and Virginia road immediately in running or dey to Carter’s Depot, beyond Zollicoffer. ' During tile occupation by the of por tions of Upper East Tennessee a great many ol the citizens it is said took the oath ol allegi- ance to the Lincoln Government. Many ol these are Southern men, whose sympathies ate all with the South, and then- we»k ness l was prompted by the fear of «)« »“ c '-.ev'ci ’ ■ and the hope of protect ion.
