•9*Un.ess our people soon get to
making iron in large quantities, we
shall have an iron famine equal to the
jSalt famine. There is no difficulty in
procuring a bountiful supply, if those
who have means will go into the busi
ness. Nu country on earth is richer in
ores of the finest qouuiiies than ours,
.and especially in Georgia. In all the
mountainous portions of this State,
there arc numerous mines easily work
ed and excced : ngly rich. In Dade co.,
on either side of .the narrow valley,
(Will's Valley,) there are great moun
tains of ore, which oan be dug out and
elided down the mountain ’ sides into
the furnaces. A good fut nace, capable
of turning out several tons a day, can
be put- up, with all neccrsary buildings,
fixture and appurtenances, for from
924,000 to $30,01)0.. Money is abund

our wealthy men put their capital to the

Cotton Cards.—Our Milledgeville cor
respondent states that the Cotton Card
Manufactory cf Messrs. Lee A Co., Car-
tersville, has been removed to tho Stats
Penitentiary, where it will be in opera
tion the present week. In a few woeks
other machines will bo duplicated, and
they will bo enabled to fill very heavy
orders. It. is the design of the State
authorities to put the cards at a small
margin on the cost, which in the course
of a few months will eruble families to
supply themselves with cards at about
|5 a pair.
Our correspondent also states that
the report circulated by an Atlanta pa
per, that a firm in Columbus hare run
a set of machines through the block
ade, is a mistake. A mechanic is eh
gaged in trying to invent a machine
there, but it is notin operation.—Aug.
Citron.
g&~A getnlemnn from the salt works
in St. Mary’s parish, Lb., says they are
detended by a strong force of Confed
erates, and thinks there is no chance
of the Federal* getting possession of
the mines. A few days since, two of
the enemy’s gunboats approached the
island and shelled a portion of it with
long-range guns, but doing no damage.
They were too far off to allow our Binall
piece* to reach them. While the beats
wore in this position, the water sud
denly receded several feet, leaving
them firmly set in the mud. from which
no stage of water will cause their boats
to float—when the flood comes again,
it will doubtless wash over thejr decks.
Under this state of affairs, the Confed
erates immediately set themselves about
building a causeway, in order to reach
them with their light artillery shots
and sholl. In the meantime, two hea
vy pieces of rilled cannon have been
sent to their relief, which will reach
The War.
The visit of President Davis to the
Western Armies is somewhat signifi

Press, a* to tho capacity of Gen. Bragg

moral condition of that army, because
ot Pragg’s leadership may have in.

but to, inspire confidence and enthusi

out from his entrenchments at Nash
ville, even with an army double our
own, the presence of the President
would nerve every Southern arm and
miiko every soldier a resistless hero,—
In such an encounter, uudi-r such aus
pices, the Confederate forces would
he invincible, and the abolition host
would be annihilated.
It is still insisted by Utter writers
and officers from our army in Middle
Tennessee that a great battle is immi

It is probable that with unopposed
command of the sea and great rivers

be left without a single oity or village)

Eastern North Carolina.—It is re
ported that impoitant movements are
on foot with the Abolitionists in East
ern North Carolina. Twelve regiments
left Newborn on Saturday, and it was
the opinion of persons living near.New-
bern that their destination was Wil
mington. The more gcperal belief,
however, is that they design an’ attack
upon Weldon or Petersburg. On Sunday
two transports and five gunboats as
cended the Chowan, nnd it is said that
a land force, estimated at ten thousand,
has been seen in motion from the neigh
borhood of Suffolk, This would seem
to indicate a movement on Weldor..
The Raleigh Progress says that a pri
vate dispatch from Weldon, to a mem
ber of the North Carolina Legislature,
received'on - uoedny night, states that it
was reported that the enemy were land
ing a large force in Gates county. If
this be true an immediate attack on
Weldon may bo looked for.

Drak Covrirx: General Btevenson’s
Division left Manchester on tho 7th
instant, and arrived at this place on the
following day. Readyville is a smal(
piece on Stone’s river, on the turnpike
connecting Murfreesboro' with McMinn
ville, distant 12 miles east from the
former place and 41 miles south-east
from Nashville. General E. K. smith’s
corps, at present, constitutes the right
wing Of the army before Nashville; we
are still soveral miles from the immedi
ate front, but the opposing forces are
gradually, drawing nearer to each other,
and a battle mavsoon be expected. The
enemy is reported to be crossing the
Cumberland river at several points,and
heavy skirmishing Is going on daily at
tho outposts—J2 or IS miles this side
of Nashville.
President Davis arrived at Murfrees
boro’ on Friday lust, And, on the follow
ing day, reviewed tho several divisions
constituting General Bragg’s command.
It is reported that he made a speech
wherein he stated that, in all probabili
ty, our troops would oocupy Nashville
and Kentucky before the expiration of
winter. It hr understood that the Pre
sident will leuve Murfreesboro' in a few
dnys, for Mississippi.
You hare doubtless received, from
other sources, the full particulars of
the brilliant.oxploit of General John U.
Morgan, at Ilartsville, on the 8th inst.,
where his cavalry, with the co operation
of two regiments of Kentucky infantry,
succeeded in crossing tho Cumberland
river under cover of the night, nnd,
surprising a camp of the enemy, after n
brief engagement succeeded in captur
ing 2,007 prisoners, 2,000 stand of arms
nnd a train of wagons, with a loss of but
126 men in killed arid wounded.’
' The gallant partisan ohieftain was
married, on Sunday evening last, to a
Miss Rcndy of Murfreesboro’, a long
life and a happy one to the brave Knight
of the Silver Spurs, whoso wonderful
and successful military career has been
of suoh signal benefit to our Confede.

on the Sabbath; and that, hereafter,

ticable, as a day of rest.
Il ls reported in camps this morning
that the enemy is retreating from Nash
ville, and moving towards Mississippi.
The wily Roscncranz will probably find
old Joseph E. already there, ready to
pay him'all needful compliments. If
the report is true Gen. Smith's corps
will doubtless remain hereabouts,' to
look' after Nashville, which may now
be taken without a fight.
It is understood that we leave in a

The Battle of CofTeeville, Mist.
Tho Hisnppian publishes a -letter of
last Saturday from Granada, from which
wo extraot the following:
In my last* postscript your readers
were informed that our forses were en
gaging the enemy near Coffeoville. The
affair was a brilliant one, and very
creditable to our arms. A party of.
Tilghman’s division, composed of the
14th, 32dand 33d Mississippi regiments,
and somo Arkansas and Texas troops,
engaged the enemy within twelve miles
of Coffeevilln, and after an obstinate
resistance, succeeded in ..driving him
back four miles, killing 71 outright,
and capturing and wounding many
others. Our loss was trifling in killed,
seven were found among the enemy’s
dead, and ten died of their wounds
in tho hospital in Coffeeville last night.
Among the troops engaged wero many
returned prisoners of Fort Donelson,
and they fought .with a spirit that
plainly evinced their appreciation of
the dastard foe ndio treated them so
vilely while in Camp Morton and other
Northern “black holes” last summer.
Ihese men take lio prisoners.
The Mississippian of tho 10th says
of tho latno affair:,
Thero are various roporl* of the en
gagement at Coffeeville between our
rear guard and the enemy's advance
cavalry. The most feasible one of
which was obtained from a gentleman
who left the scene of action at 10
o’clock Friday night," who says, that
Jackson’s command; after being fol
lowed up’ clOsely by tho enemy au the
morning,’gave way rapidly drawing the
enemy into ambush of Scott's men.—
When the'enemy arrived within forty
yards, Scott’s command opened upon
them, - killing from fifty to one hun
dred. Our forces pursued tho e'nemy
four miles and captured four howitzors.
This successful check of the advance
of tho enemy insured the sale with
drawal of all eur. trains containing
stores and camp equipage.
The belligerahts were composed en
tirely of cavalry and artillery, thero
being no infantry In the fight. We
are informed that thero is no Federal
infantry in pursuit of our retreating
columns., .

notes ard from fifteen to. twenty per

count, and indicates that a feeling of
early peace is entertained by the bro
kers of the United States, the best

that Confederate notes would be at
