The ladies and gentlemen of the “Marietti Amatem Club” will give their third Concert at Connell’s Hall, on Tuesday evening next, 6th inst., the proceeds to be appropriated to the purchase of Shoes for the vobb Moun taineers. This is a worthy and patriotic object, and we hope that all who can will at tend. Thus will the necessities of our brave soldiery—friends and relatives from our own vicinity, be admiifstercd to, and we arc assured that the bill of entertainment will be rich and edifying. Clothing for the Soldiers. Gen; Ira R. Foster, in a letter to the Atlanta Intelligencer appeals to the peo ple in behalf of the soldiers. He says, and wc should assume that he truly says, “we have a long, bloody and des perate conflict before us —that an infe r rior army poorely fed and badly clad can never achieve our independence. — That Providence will feed our army if we will cloth it.” It is only necessary that our people should know what the soldier requires "to ensure bountiful supplies. Winter is coming and clo'hing suitable to that season should now be abundantly pro vided. Let each family and each indi vidual contribute their quota in Mate rial for the comfort of the soldiers. - Our Congressshas wisely authorized a large increase of onr army in view of the vast preparations of a barbarous foe. Our all—| roperty, honor, liberty, ]jf e —hangs upon the struggle. Let us show our troops that we, too, arc an’r mated, by their heroism. The goods can bo deposited with our merchants any of whom will take pleas ure in giving them their proper des’i nation. CAMP MCDONALD. Review —Speech of Gov. Brown Resig nation of Gen. Phillips in order that his men may go at once to I irginia. We were prevented by circumstances from a visit to the Camp on yesterday —but wc learn from a reliable friend, the chief incidcn s of this gala day with our brave troops there stationed. The whole Brigade, of about 2,500 men; infantry; rifle; artillery and squad ron of horse, were all on the field with soldierly, promptness and punctuality- - all apparently in fine health and spirits --except Gen. Phillips, who, just recov ering from recent illness, looked pale and feeble. The day was bright and clear, a lit tle too warm, but relieved s-mewhat by a pleasant breeze. The proficiency of all the troops, in view of the fact that they, were so re cently quiet civilians, is indeed most gratifying, and reflects high credit upon the officers and men, and furnishes ad ditional evidence of the high order of “material” of the masse, of the South. Os the field evolutions it is but sheer justice to say, they were admirably exe cuted. The honor of Georgia upon the sanguinary field, we fell fully assured, will t»c untarnished, in the hands of her noble sons of the 4th Brigade. Gov. Brown addressed the Brigade justly complimenting them. Our friend doc* not undertake to furnish us the details of his speech, but the most im portant and interesting portion of it, was that relating to the soidiers and movement of the Brigade, In substance he informed them, that in fulfillment of his promise given at the time they on- > tered ihes-amp, he had tendered them to the Confederate Government —that it j was his A'denC desire they should Ie ■ received as a Brigade, and he had used every means to accomplish that object. But. that in view us the crisis in w hich we wee involved, whilst he did not believe that their reception I oil erwise than as a Brigade was the full mvasare of justice to them or our State, he had consented to waive that question, provided the Confederate tilatet gi»vcrnmenf, would receive tlreni j fE MAR t&TTX SEIfT-WTEKTY ADV OCATE. this vyas agreed upon, and he' the pleasure of announcing that by Bie 11th August, (.inst.,) they would hasten to repel the invaders from the soil of the.“Old Dominion” and add new. lustre to our arms. The Governor in behalf of Gen. Phillips; (whp. iyt tljxi.iir gent solicitation of physician, Dr. Batty, left the field) announced that the General ha< patriotically declared that his position should not for an hour de lay the movement of the troops, and had tendered his resignation, that they might be mustered into the Confederate State service as Regiments and Battal ions. The Governor alluded to the high compliment paid Gen. Phillips by his men in the voluntary getting up and forwarding by them to the President, a petition signed by every officer of the Brigade expressing their unbounded confidence in him, and their preference for him as their General. The crowd of spectators 5,000 and. troops 2,500, all seemed gratified—the day was a success. The Northern Reports, The reports of the battle of Manassas by the correspondents of the Baltimore American, N. Y. Tribune, Times 'and World, and the Philadelphia Press sub stantially agree “.that there can bo no longer any doubt about the disastrous nature of the rout ot the grand Feder al army,” and that from assailants the North is now thrown upon the defen sive. The N. Y. Times says, “to attempt any diminution of this victory of the rebels would be absurd delusion. The world will tell over the count of dead and wounded, the guns captured and standards seized will deteimine the real magnitude cf the National loss.” The fallowing sketch of the rout from the World’s cm respondent will serve from the general Northern account. “But what i scene and how terrific the onset of that tumultuous retreat.— For three miles, hosts ot federal troops —all detached from their regiments, all mingled in one disorderly roir—were fleeing along the road, but mostly thro’ the lots on either side. Army wagons, o.jfUru’ teams and private carriages, choked the passage, tumbling against each other, amid clouds q( uusi, ana sickening sightsand sounds. Hacks, containing unlucky spectators of the late affray, were smashed like glass, and the occupants were lost sight of in debris. Horses flying wildly irom 'he battle field, many ol them in death agony, galloped at. random forward, joining in the stampede T hose on foot who could ca'ch them rode them bare back, as much to save themselves from being run over, as to im.kc quicker time.— Wounded men, lying along the banks the few either left on the field or taken to the captured hospitals, appealed with raised hands to those who rode horses, begging to be lifted-behind, but few re garded such petitions. Then the artil lery, such as was saved, came thunder ing along, smashing and overpowering everything. The regular cavalry, I re cord it to their shame, joined in the me lee, adding to its terrors, for they rode down footmen without mercy. One ot the great guns was overturned an 1 lay among the mins of a caisson, as I pass ed it. I saw an ar<illery-man running between the ponderous fore and atter wheels of his gun carriage, hanging on with both hands, and vainly striving- to jump upon 'he ordinance. Ihe drivers were spurring their horses ; he could not cling much longer, and a more ago nized expression never fixed he features of a drowning man. The carriage boun ded from the roughness of a ste p hill leading to a creek ; he lost his hold, fell, and in an instant the great wheels had crushed the life out of him Who ever saw such a flight ? Could the retreat at Borodino have exceeded it in confusion and tumult ? I think not. It did not slack in the least until Centerville was reached. There the sight of the reserve—Miles’ Brigade formed in order on the hill, seemed somewhat to reassure the van. But still the teams and foot soldiers pushed on, passing their cwn camps ami head ing swiftly for the distant Potomac, un til for ten miles the road over which the grand army had so lately passed south ward, gay with unstained banners, and flashed with surety of strength, was covered with the fragments of its re treating forces, shattered ami panic stricken in a single day. From the; branch row e, the trains attached to Hunter's Division had caught the c< n tagion of the flight, and poured into its already swollen current another turbid freshet of confusion and dismay. Who ever saw a more shameful abai domm nt of munitions gathered at such expense '! The teamsters, many of them, cut the , traces of their horses, and galloped from . the wagons. Others threw ,ont tlreir ! loads to accelerate their flight, and grain, i picks ami shovels; and provisions-ot every kind, lay trampled in the dust for leagues. fhousands of muskets strew- | cd the route ; when some of us succeed ed in rallying a body of fugitives, and forming them in a line across the road, hardly one bu had thrown away his ' arms It the .enemy had.blMUghl up his.; artillery, and s<*\ ved it upon the retie at iug train, or had intercepted onr pts*-» gross with five hundred ot' his cavalry, he might have captured enough sup plies tor a week's feast of thanksgiving ’ An it wm, enough left beuwid- * rio IT 11'fe Iff o i-y f> f' 11 fe “p an 1 c The rout o f , the Federal Tiriny seemed 1 complete'. : - ■ A -r From France. . _ , The of the New 0 rleanS-.

J. As evidence of the utter folly and in j Ckhaviiy ot Gen. Pa terson, he tele graphed as late as Saturday night lor ’ reinforcements, staling that Johnston wasch.se at hand and in force. His ’ three months’ campaign, in the course , of which he has marched from Harris burg to Harper’s Ferry, via. Manins- ■ burg - , where he IcL no guard, closes o- J day. < ' Patterson’s campaign and McDowell’s ' champaigne have both ended in a man ner contrary to their or ginal design. GEN. SCOTT'S EXPLANATION ) Gen. Scott is reported, upon cxceL ent authority, to have said to the Presi dent that he had acted like a coward for the first time in his life in yielding to the urgency of the public, the press, . and members of Congress, and advanc ) ing upon Manassas before he was ready. Yet, probaldy every Congressman, mid , there were many, who was in Gen. Me [ Dowell’s < amp, was opposed to thecon . templated attack, and they would have preferred the plan favor<»d by some stili . ordinate oflici-rs, to send for ’ rnents of infantry and artillery, ;fml , shell the rebels out of the woods bclofo , moving’ the infantry. . Os course, the preparations that were . j made foi e< leb.ating the victory in Rich- ' ■ mond fully show lhat the Fcdcr;i.lis.ts , ; were not ready ; though the world wi.ll be curious to know how long- it would take Ger. Scott to get ready to crush j out the little rebellion in the Southern HOW THE NEW.S WAS RECEIVED ’ AT PHILADELPHIA. Forney’t Press thus tells how the-, news of the tert tide defeat ol the -Fvd- | j erals at Manassas was received in that | ' city : The streets were speedily filled with Uiundrvdx of..nervous, pallid citizens,! who spoke in low, fitful language of : the probable effect of 'he repulse upon ! the prolong itioii of the war, the courage of cur soldiery, and the inhuman oxul- < tation of the robe s Had an epidemic* I Ewept over the city, or desolation en- ' tcretl into its houses, or each man felt !in his heart the tabled death, or any- ' i thing of individual or personal misfor- I j tune oceured, there might have been ' some cheerfulness to light up the anx- 1 ■ ions faces. In this case, however, it ■ was an imperilled na ion, which implied to every Philadelphian an imperilled I ; home and a disgraced people. The brightness of the sky seemed . suddenly overcast ; the quick pulse* of the morning beat slowly and sadly ; ’ there was sorrow in every, household, -T i and the terrors of war came home to * our.once happy people in all fheir ignu- 1 miny-aud acuteness.

Manassas Junction, July 21, 1861. Mi- dear M.. - Since Hast wrote you, I have passed, in con nection with our whole Regiment through most .ex.cUihg anil ■>trying scenes, closing with a hard .fought battle, resulting in one of the most deci ded and-glorious viciories ever won. We re ceived marching orders on Thursday the 18th 5 and left Winchester, without tent or baggage, lin the direction of this point; yet without a thought of our destination, as our commanding .General kept concealed, even from the Colonels of our different Regiments, any positive inform t tion with regard to our contemplated movements. It was supposed, when we starte.l on our march, •that we were about to proceed only some 2 or S miles, to' meet the expected advance of Gen. -Patterson’s Federal-forces; which-was strongly sustained by a most successful ruse practised the evening previous—that of marching the 'th, Bth, 9th Georgia Regiments, and- Kentucky troops some 2 miles on the turnpike leading to Charles " town, and destroying the fences for more than a mile in width, to impress all with the belief that • a stand was to be made there for the enemy.- We soon,ascertained that this was not our des tination ; and, after having marched about two miles on the road leading to Piedmont, Gen. Bartow announced to us that we were on onr way to assist -Gen. Beauregard in his fight at Manassas, where he had engaged the enemy the day previous, winning a successful b.it'le. Col- Gartrell also announced to bis men. that he was happy to inform them this was no retreat; tut that we were marching directly for the enemy, and would soon encounter him, which intelli gence was received with shout after shout along our lines. We marched that day and the entire night— -13,090 men along the line—wading the Shenan doah river near midnight, all -stripped, carry ing our blankets and arms on our bayonets - abo -e our heads : and as we crossed over, com pany after company, you may well imagine the ludicrous and yet singular spectacle which was presented. We arrived at Piedmont, after a severe march, where we took cars for this point, arriving Saturday about noon, and encamping on the ground until Saturday morning. About 0 o'clock the booming of cannon, in the direc tion of Bull Run, some 6 miles distant, announ ce I an engagement with the enemy, who had the diy previous destroyed a small viil ge near there. Our Regiment with the Sth Georgia an I other troops, was soon in line moving towards the scene.of action, nearly the whole time at a double quick march. Shortly after 8 o’clock we arrived in the vicinity of the b ittle field, our approach to wlpx’j W as announced by the whist ling of cannon balls and bomb shells around us ; and as our column was discovered, hundreds of these destructive missiles fell think and r ast around us. Our first position was a most ex posed one—(that of the 7th) —and we lay on our faces flat upon the ground, for near one hour, the enemy’s cannon playing directly upon our line. Fortunately for us, they- did not get our range exactly, and but few shots did any in jury. It soon became too hot, however, '.Hid the order was given to advance, immediately across the ti.e of the enemy’s batteries, towards our troops, hotly engaged to the right. This order was obeyed in double quick time, b ills, of every conceivable size and shape flying threatengly across our path. We here suffered pretty se- The Sth Georgia Regiment,shortly afterwards, engaged a portion of the enemy's advancing column, but suffered so severely, that, after 3J minutes fighting, they were compelled to retire from the field for the balance of the day. From this time until near 5 o’clock, the battleraged furiously ; and the scene presented was sufficient to appal the stoutest heart. Our columns fre quently were compelled to waver, un ler the telling fire of the enemy ; and onr Regiment par ticularly, hid to endure a continuous exposure to itj, for 2 hours without an »pportunity of re turning the compliment— lying the whole time flat upon the ground, listening to the singularly shrill music of cannon balls, and dodging tiie I bursting bomb shells. Occasionally however, Qur men would get a glimpse of the enemy thro’ the intervening fences or brushes, an I would, at the greatest risk, send back a shot, to remind the hirelings of Lincoln that we were still far from being kors du combat. At several times many of ns thought the day lost; but when Gen. ( Beauregard came to our Regiment and ordered : Col G u t roll to march to a position, in an old ; apple orchard, where the enemy, sustained by ; Sherman's celebrated battery, were endeavoring i to gain our left fl ink, and to maintain that posi j lion at all hazards, our spirits, scarce a moment depressed, became lively and confident. We [ reached the point assigned u> an 1 for two hours ! engaged the Federal forces, in more th m qn id- ! j niple our strength, pouring into them the most | incessant and destructive fire of the day. It was to the stand made here by our gallant 7th. that the victory was due—so regarded and acknowl- ; edged by all. Col. Gartrell had been ordered not to retreat : until reinforcements should arrive ; and he only i fell back froir his position when the day had j - been won —the enemy routed by a charge, head led by Gen. Beauregard.—Sherman’s battery c.q tured. and the banner of our Regiment plan ; ted upon it. pierced by some dozen balls. In ; the action, our officers an 1 men behaved with the greatest courage and coolness. Gen. Bar tow was shut down, and caught by Col. Gar trell in his arm*, almost instantly expiring.— Col. G. then mounted Gen. B’s. horse, nd took .commaml, soon after which his horse was shot ■ ftum uqjler him. and himself wounded in the I leg. by a bomb shell, which killed a soldier by ; Ids-i-le. No withstanding his wound, and the certainty that his son had been mortally woun ded--(sthce dead; he maintained his position on (Tie field, gallantly and bravely sustaining and .etieering; on his men. Lieut. Col. Cooper. Major Dunwody and Adjutant Buller, of the Staff, and ol godd t'ld C« bb, also deserve special mention for the coolness, ability and courage with which they; performed the duties of their stations. Col. Cooper and Adjutant Butler escaped with out injury, save a-slight scratch in the face to the j latter, sufficient to serve as a brief momanto j of the severe battle and glorioiis victory. Maj : Dunwody was founded in. the right shoulder- and had his horse severely wounded in the right hip. But he never left his post throughout the day. Our Cobb boys all behaved gloriously. Our own Mountainee ,- s fought like tigers—which, in deed, can be said of the Roswell and Powder Springs boys also. Capt. White, was himself a host—cool as a cucumber, and brave as a lion. — D. B. Parks was mortally wounded, and Jno. N, Daniell perhaps also. Cur other wounded are Messrs. Coilins, Mullins, Bryant, Simpson, Kir bow. Johnson, and Daniel, the German. Os the Paulding Company. Capt. Jenkins, who bears ; this letter, the following is a list of wounded : | Capt. C. S. Jenkins, Privates B. F. Lee. W. A. ■ Burns, A. Steinhamer, Moses Cooper. Noah j Adcock. David Hollins, Mien White, G. B. Har ris. Os the Power Springs Company, Capt. Moyer was mortally wounded ; Frank Ward, severely ; J. N. Scott. Carter Meek, Win. Canant. B. 11. Smith, W 7 Meadows, Elphin. Bishop, Thos. Patillo, Marian Duncan slightly wounded. Os the Roswell Company, Capt. King. Lieut. Dunwody and Bishop were dmgeronsly wounded ; Thos. Kirk. Jas. Paden, Benj. Smith were killed, Lieut. Wing was slightly wounded ; John E. Gossett, D. W. Baxley, J. A. Benton. Peter Cobb. Thos. Col lins, Alex. Cupp, Jno. A. Hicks, Jno. Hunter, Jos. H. Hunter, Win. S. Mitchell, Joel Pickens, Joshua Stephens, John Simmons, Jos. Simmons, N. 11. Roberts slightly wounded. Joe Tucker fought with us, but on his own hook, with his Sharpe's Carbine, and made at least one Yankee bite the dust. I would like to speak of the individual bravery of our men. on that day, for the gratification of their friends in Old Cobb, but have not the space or time. — Where all behaved so ncbly, comparisons would be out of place.- Our’s was the only Regiment which was exposed throughout the whole en gagement, to the incessant fire ot tjie enemy ; and to its gallant stand the victory is due. Os the result of the battle, I can only speak briefly. After the charge upon the enemy from our position, the enemy fled precipitately, and were pursued by our reserve cavalry, under the lead of President Davis, who had a short time previously arrived on the field, The enemy had at least 40,003 engaged—some say 60,030—whilst ours was scarce 15.033. Our loss was from 1,00 J to ISO J—that of the enemy from 10.00) to 15.033. We also captured 67 pieces of their b *st artillery, including Sher man’s celebrated rifled battery, and thousands of arms, besides much valuable property. We also captured some 1200 •- r 1500 prisoners. I have, myself, several trophes of the battle, taken from the spot occupied by Sherman's battery, which I visited just as the enemy retired.— Many of onr boys have also obtained many things as Keepsakes to remind them and their ' children of that glorious Victory. 1 should like to give you some idea of the bat ! tie field, as it was presented to me. as I looked j for our dead and wounded, in company with Dr. j Wilson. W. IIP Hudson, and Jas. Doncaster. For ■ a distance of three miles, over which the battle raged, there were, at almost every ste]). traces of the day's destruction to life and porpe.ity. - Dead men lay side by side with the wounded and dying—hon ied, ghastly spectacles : dead I horses were strewn over the ground by hundreds, | with thousands of arms, of every concievable i variety, an I countless blankets, haversacks, ! knapsacks, cartridge— boxes, clothing, and all the little convenien<*'“s of a soldiers lile. But I j must leave you to 1.11 ip the picture, in imagina tion. and close my already’ lengthy letter. 1 i cannot, however, close ’without s tying that 1, ; in common with all our men, I verily believe. I sustained by an unwavering confidence that the J Gcd of battles wis with u- to shield us and J sustain us. that our cause was just, and that we ■ could not be conqureed. Besides, we fought ; bravely and cooly, with the knowledge that * upon our efforts depended the honor ot our be | loved homes, the safety of our wives and lami- ■ lies, by whose prayers we were sustained, and I by whose smiles we were encourvged. Coward ice or defeat, under such feelings, is i-mposs.ble. Os the South Carolina Regiment, we saw \V. j C. Davis, Doling Glover. Payson Ardis, Win. I Anderson. Win. Montgomery, who paid ns a visit after the battle. Ot the Bth Geo. ilegi : merit which fought so gallantly by our side, and which lost 34i) killed an 1 wounded in un engagement of but some thirty m.nutes, we i also were visited in camp by Lieut. Blackwell, Jno. McCleskey. Thos. Olivor. George Ander son .“Mil ton Dobbs, and E. J. Mays, ail ot our county, and who were all well. Os them all, although not w.tli our owa county Companies, we feel proud, as gallant soldiers and good num. James Smith, of Marietta in Jas. W.idde.l s ileg iment. also visited our camp yesterday, 11* ar rived 100 late for the battle. N. B. W. ! ' .. ——•— . , I lie following' is an extract of a let- i ‘ ter from Dr. 11. F.

In i ; the same room and bed his brother, Mr. ; J. 11. King, wounded by a Minnie ball | I passing through both hips; wound painful but not dangerous.

The New York Times, after dm scanting upon the niate' iul of the Fe h eral troops, who left ’‘Washington for Richmond, via Fairfax and Manassas,” asks : “What shall prevent this magnii ficent column, thus composed, eqinped { and < fficered, fro n sweeping over the j obstrm’tions at Manassas that the reb els have raised to defend their rebel I government?” Time has answered the question Southern valor, engaged in a righteous cause, with the assistance of Divine Frovideuce.
