On Sunday morning early, a squad Of tlio enemy, sovonty-tivo strong, started to find our pickets, six of whom, with tlvo horses, wore captured. A courier was immediately despatched to our hoadquitTr tors at Mill .Swamp for reinforcements.— Captain Moore, commanding at Mill Swamp, ordered fifty of the Third North Carolina (Col.

Thev sav thoy aro from Mississippi and are "going to join their command, which is, a* they, report, the Jeff’ Davis’ Legion of Geri. Stewart’s command. Thoy said they were traveling about ton or twelve miles a day. They stnyod all night iu the set tlement of Hickory Grove, Crawford eo., on the night of loth; said thoy were go ing to Macon. And Saturday night fol lowing, three more stayed at Mrs. Smith’s iu the same neighborhood. And ono of this latter party passod himself off’ ns a free negro. He said that ho had plenty of money, and it really acorns so, as I10 gavo a negro man belonging to Mrs S. one dollar to,curry down his horse, ami aLo paid fivo dollars for his supper and breakfast. This information was furn- i.-hed by tlio nogroos of Mrs. Smith.— Not, however, until they limit left tho settlement n day or two. Tho latter party, which passed on tho lffth, said thoy wore going to Milledgovillo. Tho said negro also said I10 belonged to tho Abolition army and had boon sent hereby thorn. It is to bo hoped that the pooplo will bo 1 tiie look out fur such characters, and 0 to it that they g.-t justice done, them Ht all 0vents, for it will bo a ahame if a dozen or two of Yankee thieves and free negroes should pass through the very heart of the country without ever being molested in any way whatever. It in getting time, I think, that tho peoplo should bn fully awake to the crisis, and ho abvrftiteh/ rrrtnio about every suapi- cioiH character, who ho is and where tin is from, and nil about him.
