railroad towns midway between Chatta

wiewere
main
corps are
now stationed.
Manchester is tho nnme applied to a
pleasant collection of buildings, group
ed around a hugo brick court Rouse,,
and is the ccunty seat of Coffeo co.--
It is situated about thirty miles south
east from Murfreesboro’, oh a branch
railroad conhecting McMinnville with
the main road at Tulluhoraa.
The depredations of tho Federal*, are
observable along the entire route from
Chattanooga; bridges woro destroyed,
sevoral «f tho stpres and . railroad do-
pots were barricaded, and many a
blackened spot is seen,- marking the
site of a once happy home, whose in
mates are’ now scattered made
desolate by ttie ravaging hand of the
invader.
The Yankees ruled with a tyrnnicnl
sway in Middle Tennessee and North
ern Alabama, and their treatment of
tho people, wns such as to extinguish
the lingering union feeling which oxis*
tod, in some sections, before their ad
vent. They ran sovoval hundred ne
groes from'this county alone,'and their
conduct towards many of the citizens
is reported as being most Bhameful.
Everything has been quiet .for the
past few days, hut it is reported that
considerable, skirmishing is going on
near Murfreesboro’, and to-day we re-'
ceived marching orders, and leave soon
for a point farther north. ’ Gen. Bragg

Significant.
An army correspondent of tho Rich
mond Dispatch, gives the following
significant item;
‘‘If tho signs of the times aro not
false there is a woeful day in the future
for robbor extortioners. That peace
that will bring joy fo tho hearts of the
soldiers will bring destruction, Bwjjff
and terrible, upon those heartless
wretches who are fit for nothing bnt
the unquenohable fires of hell. Socie
ties are about forming in camp, the
members of which will solemnly vow
never to disband as soldiers until the
last one of these scoundrels shall have
been made to feel the vengeanco due
their crimes. The men are being mark
ed now, and the soldiers of each county
will effectually clean out their own
respective districts. Tt is bad when
individuals arc forced to redress their
own wrongs, but where there is no
law no other recourse is left them but'
Lynch’s code.
8®” Tho publication of the Field
and Fireside will bo resuihed on the
first of January next, in a new form,
and suitable for binding, and with
many improvements. Terms, $3 per
annum, in advance. . The friends of
Southern literature should sustain this
pioneer in' that fruitful field.
Orders should be addressed to' James
Gardener, Augusta, G»-
President Davis.—The Knoxville
RegUter of the 12th instant announces
the arrivaVof President Davis in that
city ,en route for Middle Tennessee,
The President made a short address to
the citizens, which was received with
enthusiasm by them.
.Since then, we hear of the Pbesident’s
arrival at Chattanooga—it is said on
his way.to Murfreesboro.
Arrest of Rev. R. J. Graves.—Rev.
R. J. Graves, of Orange County, North
Carolina, who recently published a let
ter in a Richmond paper, detailing the
wounderful energy and preparations of
the North to crush the rebellion, has
been arrested in Richmond on a.cbarge
of disloyalty andsent to Castle Thunder
An Order or Napoleon.—The follow
ing order was issued by Bonaparte to
his army at Toulon,May 16th, 1798. Tho
Yankees have not improved on the
humanity of the great Napoleon:
Headquarters Toulon,
27 Floreal, year 6
* * * Have the soldiers of liberty
become executioners J Can the mercy,
which they have eXoroised even in the
fury of battle, be extinct in their hearts?
The law of the 18th Fructidor was a meas
ure of public safely. Its object was
to reach conspirators not women and
aged men. 1, therefore exhort you,
citizens, whenever ilic law brings to
your tribunals women • or old men, to
declare, that in the field of battle*
you''have rejected the women and
old men of your enemies.
Tho officer who signs a sentence
against a person incapable of bearing
| Arms is a coward. . Bonaparte.
IIelfinq Others.—The Knoxville Re
gutter thinks the Georgians the most-
liberal fellows in the world. Speaking
of Gov. -Brown’s seizures it says: ‘‘He is
engaged in the laudnble business of
driving all goods and merchandise out of
Georgia into East Tennessee, Alabama
and the Carolinus. Tho products of
Georgia industry will bo choapened
here ; their prico for the future will be
duplicated at home.”
Great Results with tripling Loss.—
It is written that tho British loss at Hie
siege and capturo of Savannah in the
old revolution, wns one commissioned
officer and two privates billed, one ser
geant and nine privates wounded. We
promise the Yankees who aro much
more powerful than England wns, a far
bloodier work should they attempt its
reduction in the present war.
And vet we have a number of quite
as remarkable events in the wav now
„ The stronghold Sumter, fell
without a solitary man having been
killed or'wounded on either side,, after
two days’ fightiLg. Tho great city of
New Orleans, after one of the most
stubborn dofenceson record from the
forts below, Capitulated to the Yankees,
with a loss hardly more than was sus
tained, at tho slego of Savannah.—Sciv.
Repub. ' .
Expects to be Hung.
It is a pity that Browniow was disap
pointed in the following expectations,
written from Louisville on the 17th
ult:
I shall start to-day to Nashville, and
tho last forty miles Of tho journey of
two hundred is by private conveyance,
and rather hazardous, as Morgan’s guer
rillas are continually arresting travelers
in that quaiter. My judgement is
against taking this ri6k ; but I am urg
ed to go in connection with the interest
of East Tennessee. If I fail to write
again, the readers of the Press may
know that tho rebels have taken me
and may then infer that have I looked
up a rope.
Northern advices have already in
formed us of the arrival of Parson
Browniow at Nnshviilo, and that he
had been addressing publio meetings
there.
Affairs in Mississippi.—It appears
by a.correspondent of the Jackson Mis
sissippian that our forces under the
veteran Gen. Price have fallen back
from Abbeville, as he speaks of llie
army being in Grenada on the 5th. The
men were well clad, well shod, and in
fine spirits—making the wolkin ring
with ‘‘Missouri Land.” There was a
brisk fight at Oakland, on the Missis
sippi and Tennessee Railroad* on the
3d inst., in which the Texas troops
displayed their charaoteristio bravery,
driving back the enemy and capturing
two pieces of artillery, although oppos
ed by a large force. Oxford was the
scene of a fierce cavalry combat on the
4th; in whioh Rallen tine's cavalry did
noble service.They held a position six
hours, fighting as infantry, against an

Resolved, lit, Thrft by the death of
Adjutant Shropshire, this Battalion has
sustained the loss of a most valuable,
efficient and brave offioor—his country
a noble and devoted patriot, and his
family a loss irreparable, a devoted hus
band and. an affectionate and kind fa
ther. The toils, exposures, and priva.
tions of the soldier, he was ready to
bear with that fortitude and courage
that truly endeared him to the wliolo
command, and particularly to the pri
vate soldier.
Reselved, 2d, That while we mourn
his removal from our midst, tvo will
not murmur, belioving aud fooling as
sured that what is our temporal loss is
his eternal gain.
Resolved, 3d, That tho officers and
soldiers cf this command tender to
the. family aiul frionds of tho deceased
their sincere sympathy and condolence,
and pray, that a merciful Father, in
whom ho trusted in lifo as well as in
'death, may be thoir support and conso
lation in this, the. hour of their sad
bereavement and affliction.
Jlotolved, 4th, That u copy of these
resolutions bo forwardod to his family
and published in the Rome papers.
Tiie Situation.—The ‘‘prodigious
energies” of Roscncrantz "to strike
blow near Nashville,” mentioned in a
lute copy of tho Louisville 'Journal,
have not been developed as yet. That
.general, it is said, is still engaged
preparations cn an extensive sculo to
procuro subsistence .for Ills army, prior
to rn advance towards Murfreesboro.-
It is generally bolieved that tho forces
under Morgan and Forrest, will mate
rially interfere with that arrangement.

Road, havingjdestroyed J a portion of
tho track over that road and burned

European' Intelligence
Richmond.-' Dec. 10.—Three French
gentlemen have arrived in this oily
from Wasliington.via Winchester and
Staunton, who, it is, understood, are
bearers of dispatches from the French
Government to (lie Confederate Gov
ernment.
Richmond, Dec. 12.—The Paris cor
respondent of the New York Herald,
dated November 14th, says that Lord
Cowley wuk informed by Napoleon that
his conviction was so strong of the
absolute necessity of mediation that
If England hesitates fnr-any length of
time in her refusal, lie should not hesi
tate to act without her in conjuncture
with whatever other European Towers
would associate with him.
Tho New York Times publishes sovC
ml columns of dispatches from Secreta
ry Seward to Minister Adams, whioh
were sent at different periods (luring
the year. In several of these dispatch
es, intended for foroign effect, lie ar
gues to show that tho Administration
is hostile to the institution of slave
ry.
In a dispatch date! January 28th,
he says wo will .induce or oblige our
slaveliblUing citizens to supply Europe
with cotton if we can, and flic Presi
dent has given his respectful conside
ration to tho desiro informally express
ed to mo by the Governments of Great
Brituili nnd France, for soino further
relaxations of the blockade in favor of
the cotton trade. An answer will be
reasonably given. He closes "by saying
that this Government relies upon the
inspect of our sovereignty by foreign
powers, and if this reliance fails, this
civil war will, without ourfauK, become
a war of continents—a warof the world;
and whatever else may revive the oot-
ton trade, built upon slave labor in this
country, will bo irredeemably wrecked
upon tho abrupt cessation of human
bondage within the territories of the
United States.
Particulars of tho Battle of
Plymouth.
Pf.tersiii’hq. Dec. 12.—Tho Express
has tho following particulars of the
battle cf Plymouth, obtained from an
official dispatch to. Gen. Frenoh, on
Wednesday morning last:
Just before day five companies of tlie
17th Reg’t of N! C. troops nnd a squad

of the town was burnt. A Section .of
•Moore’s Battery drove an abolition gun-
bout down the river, seriously disabling
her- The negroes apet prisoners were
nil brought away. Our loss was six
wounded—Captain Gnllaway severely.
WHAT BECOMES OF THE CONTRA
BANDS.
r. S.—A dispatch from Fredericks
burg, dated at 6 o’olock, . says that the
enemy were then crossing on their
ipntoon bridge. Reaching f” ‘
,rn bank, they will bo in i
nmifi between’ the bluff find
This space is of horse shoe shot e and

Nashville dates of the 9th say that

BOMBARDMENT OF PORT ROYAL.
' Richmond, Doc. 12.—On Thursday
evening our batteries stationed above
and below ' tho town of town of Port
Royal, on the Rappahannock, opened
fire on the Gunboats which were an
chored in the stream just opposite, con
sisting of the Freeborn, Anncosta, Live
Yankee and Resolute. The firing last-
tod iibuutan hour and a half; eleven
houses were struok, four of whioh were
completely riddled. No one was hurt,
though grape' was fired upon women
nnd children as tnoy wore leaving town,
No notification wns given by the Aboli
tionists of their intention to shell.
After the bombardment they drop
ped down stream some 7 miles.
It is thought that the gunboats were
stidck several times. .The people of
the town are now scattered like those
of Fredericksburg, in the form house's
and cabins of tho adjacent country.—
During the night many women and
children who had been driyen out hod
no other shelter t han the woods. Truly
are the Yankees waging a war bf exter
6 minution—no quarters to women an
children.
THE FIGHT AT FREDERICKSBURG.
Richmond, Dec. 12.—The Enquirer
• of this morning contains additiohul
particulars of tne fighting nt Freder
icksburg yesterday. Tho enemy at
tempted to lay down pontoon bridges
at three points—one at the site of tho
railroad bridge, which spannod' the
river at the lower end of tho town;
another at the ford above town, and
between it and Falmont; and the third
below the mouth of ths-deep run, which
is three miles below the city.
The attempts at the first named
points were repulsed with considerable
loss to tho enemy—our sharpshooters
nnd skirmishers co operating with our
artillery in the affair. Ac the lower
point the pontooners wero promoted
from the'fire of our artillery by the
river.bluff; 1 and 'the command of the
position by the enemy's guns rendored
shnpshcoters unavailable.
At half past 12 o’clock tho bridgo
was reported as nearly, comploted.—
pK|I courso ’ bc<sn no
The troops engaged were Loiigstreot’s.
Cannonading was very severe.
fl^-Tho Selma Reporter says the oars
on the Alabama nnd Mississippi rail
road aro now running through to Meri
dian, and adds; We suppose the sched
ule will be olianged in a few .days,
when tho train will lenvo this eity. in
tho morning instead of the afternoon.
When this change is made, we hope to
receive our Mississippi exchanges more
regularly. Wo have received but one
paper from that quarter during the
present week.
Gen. Howell Cobb.—The Lnko City
Columbian of tho lltli snys : "This dis-
tinguished gentleman nr ived nt Tail,
lnslmssee on Monday Inst, and upon
special request, addressed belli branches
of the Gonerul Assembly, in the Hail of
the House of Representatives, ul 12 in.,
on Tuesday. His remnks wero eloquent
and to the point, and, we trust tend
materially to encourage our citizens and
inspire new hopes nnd energy in pro
paring to mcei nnd repel the invader ol
our soil. >Ve heartily welcome Gen.
Cobb to our Stale.”,
From Grenada. -The Canton (Miss.)
Citizen of tile 5th says :
A cavalry force of the enemy, num
bering aLout eighty, made a dash into
the vicinity of Grenada on Suiulny
night last, setting fire to a heavy trcsslc
work About three nnd a half miles from
the town. Fortunately, the cars from
above came along just at that time, and
the fire was extinguished before much
damage was done. Subsequenlly tho
abolitionists visited the road again at a
point nbove, and burnt ten-flat or box
cars. They came in from Delta or
Friar's Point, on tho Mississippi river,
and aro believed to bo ten or fifteen
thousand strong between Grenada and
Charleston.
Our nnuy has fallen back to Grenada,
where it is believed'a' desperate stand
will be made. Gen. Pemberton won't
up on Monday night, and will bo in
command at tile next battle. It is
thought, by some that our army, to gain
a stronger position, will full back to the
Big Black river boforo it gives tho ene
my battle.
The Mutiny at Newbbrn.—'The
Raleigh Register reports :
We are in a position to stole t-liul tho
mutiny among the Abolitionists at New.-
bern, reported by our correspondent a
few days ago, is confirmed. It 3 wns
cheeked in time, and therefore did not
assume such proportions ns at first
ported.
JOSy The Rappahannock is navigubln
up to Fredericksburg. Above tho
town, it is fordable ut all times in the
absence of freshets. From Fredericks-
burg down to Port Royal, a distance of
twenty-t'-vo miles, the banks aro t liigh
and unfavorable to tho rapid passage ol
artillery andbrggago trains. At these
two points, however, the approaches to'
tho river are easy and free from natu
ral obstructions; and hence the opin
ion prevails in' well informed circles,
that it will be nt one or both of them
tlie passage will bo attempted. Below
Port Uoynl, the river becomes much
wider, and the; passage more UiWioult
and hazardous; whilst above Frede
ricksburg it is too shallow to admit the
gurihoats.
Morgan’s Last victory.--Tho Knox,
villo Register says:
Lieut, James doffin, of Gen. Morgan’s
command, reached this city on yester
day. He states that Morgan’s late fight
at Hartsville was cortninly the most
brilliant aohievemnet of this gallant
officer. Ho crossed tho Cumberland in
the presonco of the enemy, attaoked
and captured 2,104 prisoners, (this is
the number parolled), nnd besides two
rifled steel cannon, between 50 rind 90
wagons, and 2,330 stand of arms. All
this was done while there wns an Aboli
tion force 12,000 strong within six miles.
Morgan recrossed tho' rivfcr, axd only
lost tliroo of all the wagons ho captured.
