A liu ge number of the citizens of DeKulb

having called Z. R. Jones to the Cliai”, and
•James W. Kirkpatrick to act :i9 Secretary—
the object of the meeting was explained to
be for the purpose of giving expression t o
the sentiments of the people of DeKalb

tho Impressment system of the Confederate
States, and upon other questions connected
'V h the great struggle for Indepeudvnce in
which the country is involved.

Committee of nine, consisting of the follow
ing, were appointed to report to an ndjouru-

tions, for tho consideration of whinR u>s
meeting was called: William Wright, John

Upon the suggestion of the committee

Saturday, Sept. 5th.
Meeting ‘->d in the absence of the
former chnirflnt. ,* «y Rev. Fielding Maddox
being called to thu chair, when committee
appointed at last meeting, through their
chairman, Lieut, Wm. Wright, reported the
following resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted:
Whereas a war is waged against us by
tho government of the United States, for no
wrong done tho pcoplo of that government
by any of the States of this Confederacy,
nor by tho people of any of the States; nor
for any threatened injury to them—waged
contrary to tho usages -usually controlling
civilized nations, and for the avowed pur
pose of destroying our social system, deso.
Lating our homes, and tho subjugation of
our people, Therefore,
Resolved, 1st, That Subjugation and InJe
pendenee being the only alternatives left u?,
to prevent the former, and secure the lattei,
there is no sacrifice of property or life that
is too great to be made.
2d, That a reconstruct'on of the old Un
ion is not only impracticable, but if so, would
bo unwise and productive of evils, the griev-
ousness of which no one can overestimate.
3d, That any act or word tending to dis
courage our soldiers in the field—to depre
ciate our currency, and to weaken the con
fidence of the people in our ultimate sue.
ces9, is unwise and dangerous, and ought
not to bo tolerated.
4th, That speculation by private individ
uals in the necessaries of life has done much
injury to our cause, and deserves the con
demnation of all patriotic citizens.
5. That tlm purchase of articles necessary
•for the support of the army by the agents
of the government, whose whole time should
be devoted to the service of the country in
procuring army supplies, to be re-sold by
them upon speculation, has greatly affected
the efficiency of our army, produced discon
tent among the people, and it is the duty of
the government to'exert every effort to sup
press the evil.
6. That the abuses practiced by some of
the agents of the government in the dis
ehargo of their duties under the impress
ment law of Congress, has produced much
dissatisfaction, and demands immediate cor
rection, and the law so amended as to se
cure to the owner of the article impressed 1
not only in the language, but in the spirit
of the Constitution, “ just compensation.'’'
Tth. That it is the highest duty of every
person who remains at home to do all in his
power to provide for the comfort of the fa
milies of the soldiers in the field, and hereby
express our willingness to submit to any
taxation, however onerous, necessary to
that end; and we hope the Legislature of
our State will not hesitate- to impose such
lares.

THE SIEGE.
Finnic of the contest for Buttery Wagner—
Unprecedented bombardment—Evacuation
of Morris Island by oar forces, civ.
The dawn of Friday last revealed a large
United .States banner—the haled flag of stara
ar- . : tripes—flaunting llom a work of the
enemy within 150 yards of Wagner.
On the same morning, which, from imper
fect information, we, in our last issue, erro
neously reported as comparatively quiet,
the enemy opened just before 3 o’clock with
their Parrott guns on that fort ; firing first
on the flank curtain, and gradually edging
toward the centre. At a quarter past 5, the
Ironsides drew up within 1500 yards, and
commenced to shell with great rapidity. It
was not until to a quarter to 8 that she re
tired, having kept up a continuous fire for
more Ilian two hours and a half. The loss
sustained at Wagner by this fire fell prin
cipally on the 25th S. O. V., as wili be shown
by one of the lists of casualties appended
to this report.
During this day, tho enemy advanced
their parallels only a very short distance
from their main approach.
At 3 o’clock on Saturday the enemy again
opened on Wagner from all their land bat
teries, assisted by the Ironsides, several gun
boats, and an occasional shot from the mon
itors. This bombardment, beyond all doubt
the most fierce and long continued which
has taken place against Wngner since the
beginning of the siege, lasted throughout
Saturday and Saturday night, and did not
abate until Sunday morning at eight
o’clock. Nor was this abatement of much
duration. The fire was soon renewed, and
was continued with littlo less vigor all Sun
day, the Ironsides, which maintained a po
sition between jGregg and Wagner, and kept
shelling Wagner and the beach, being espe
cially active.
It was on Saturday night, however, and
on Sunday morning up to eight A. M., that
the bombardment raged wifli its greatest
fury. The shots—many 4 of them coming
together, as from tho broadside of a ship—
were often more than sixty to tho minute.
Our batteries on James Island of course
joined in the melee, and did their utmost to
annoy the enemy’s laud batterjes.
But the bombardment of Wagner was not
the only event of Saturday night. 'About
fen o’clock the enemy displayed from the
deck of a monitor off Morris Island an im
mense calcium light, and several monitors
soon after moved up and opened on Battery
Gregg. Moultrie and Gregg replied with
sni.-il- At ft ijnnrtcr to tTTO fl I'OCket W8S
tin-own up, and ere many minutes elapsed
tho enemy were descried approaching Mor
ris Island at a point between Gregg and
Wagner. They had come down in barges
through the creek-west of Morris Island,
obviously with the design ot assaulting
Gregg in the rear. Advancing in line of
battle they were permitted to come very
near, when a nine-inch Dahlgren opened
upon them at short range, with double
canister. Our howitzers then commenced
a lire of shrapnel and canister, while our
infantry, admirably posted, poured into
them a lire of musketry. Moultrie, Battery
Bee, and Battery Mitchel algo opened upon
them a rapid and most demoralizing fire.—
This they could not withstand, and though
for a very short while they maintained a
fire of musketry and grape shot from their
barges, they were soon forced to withdraw,
seemingly much surprised and confused by
their reception and cur admirable disposi
tion. It is said that a few gained the shore,
but these soon scampered io their boats, so
that no prisoners were taken. Tho loss in
flicted upon the enemy in this baffled at
tempt at an assault was probably not incon
siderable, but as all who were struck fell in
the boats, tho extent of that loss is of course
unknown. Some bodies were found which
floated ashore.
It is almost impossible to describe the ter
rible beauty of tho sceno in Charleston har
bor as witnessed on Saturday night from the
city. From Mouitrie almost to Secession-
vilie, a whole oemi-circle of the horizon was
lit up by incessant flashes from cannon and
shell. As peal on pc-al of artillery rolled
across tho w’aters, one could scarcely resist
tlfc beliel that not less than a thousand great
guns were in action. It was a grand chorus
of hell, in which Moloch might have assisted
and over which Satan might have presided
All this went on beneath a waning Septem
ber moon, which, with its warm Southern
light, mellowed by a somewhat misty at
mosphere, brought out sottly, yet distinctly,
the most distant outlines of the harbor.
The loss at Wagner during this awful bom
bardment was considerable. Up to eight
o’clock on Sunday it amounted to one hun
dred and filty in Killed and wounded. Pro
bably many- more were added to these cas
ualties in the course of the day.
At Gregg there were but eight casualties
on Saturday night during the skirmish with
t he barges. Among them was a Captain of
t he 27th Ga. Yols.
Under cover of their ceaseless fire, tLe
Yankees had approached on Sunday within
forty yards of Wagner.
During the bombardment of Friday last,
the brave and zealons Maj. Warley was
wounded at Wagner by the fragment of a
shell. He was struck on the ankle, and the
wound is said not to be severe. About nine
o’clock, p. m., of that day he was put into a
barge—the Leo, belonging to Gen. Ripley—
to ba brought to the city. Of this barge,
with its gallant freight, and of its crew,
which w’as made up ot white men, notning
has been heard up to the present moment.
The inference is that it was captured, with
all on board, by a reconnoitering party of
the enemy, whose small boats patrol nightly
the waters between Morris Island and Fort
Johnson. Coi. Rbett’s boat, returning from
Morris Island to Charleston Saturday night,
passed between several of these prowlers,
and was not fired on, probably ou account
of the contemplated attack on'Gregg.
On Sunday, Commander A: F. Warley
went down in the Juno, under flag of truce
to carry certain despatches, and also with
the purpose of discovering the fate of the
missing officer. He was fired on fourteen
times, but came to anchor under fire, and
was met by Ensign Porter. This officer re
plied to the commander's inquiries “that he
had been away” on Friday night, and that
though there had been a capture, he was
not aware whether Maj. Warley was among
the prisoners or not. He added that he
captive, he would inform the commander
wuen the despatches were answered. No
reply lias yet been received.
It will scarcely be believed that the shore
batteries fired some time on the Juno, utterly
regardless of flag of truce. Eight shots were
directed at her, even after she had come to
anchor, with the white ensign of peace at
her fore. Nor did they fire badly. Several
shots passed through her rigging, a few
dashed the spray into the faces of the crew,
and not one passed more than five steps
from the ship.
EVACUATION OF MORRIS ISLAND.
To sum up the events through which we
have just passed, Battery Wagner lias been
subjected during the last three days and
nigbts to the most terrific fire that any earth
works has undergone in all the annals of
warfare. The immense descending force of
the falling Parrots and mortar shells of the
enemy had nearly laid the woodwork of the
bombproofs bare, and had displaced the sand
to so great a degree, that the sally-ports are
almost entirely blocked up. The parallels
of the enemy yesterday afternoon had been
pushed up to the very mouili of Battery
-Wagner, and it was no longer possible to
distinguish our fire from the enemy. Dur
iDg the entire afternoon the enemy shelled
the sand hills in the rear of Battery Wag
ner (where our wounded lay) very vigor
ously.
Under the3c circumstances, and iu view
of the difficulties of communication with
Cumming’s Point, the impossibility of long
er holding Morris Island became 'apparent
and it was determined that strenuous efforts
should be made at once to release the brave
garrison of the Island, who seemed to beal
most within the enemy’s grasp. This de
sirable result was accomplished with the
most commendable promptitude and sue
cess.
At about six o’clock yesterday afternoon
the orders for the evacuation were deliver
ed to Col. Keitt, commanding our forces on
the island. Everything was at once made
ready for the abandonment of Batteries Wag
ner aud Gregg. The dead were buried,
and at nightfall the'wounded were carefully
removed in carges to Fort Johnson. The
guns which for so many weeks had held the
foe at bay, were double-shotted, fired and
spiked; tne heavier pieces were dismount
ed, and the carriages rendered worthless.—
The preliminary prejaarations being thus
completed, the work of embarkation was
noiselessly begun, and the brave men of the
garrison, in lorty barges, were soon gliding
from the beach they had held.so stoutly and
so long.
The evacuation was conducted by Col.
Keitt, assisted by Maj Bryan, A. A. G.; and
the success with which what has always
been considered one of the most difficult
feats of warfare, has been performed, is wor
thy of the highest praise. Batteries Gregg
and Wagner had both been carefully mined,
with a view to blowing them up. It was
about ono o’clock this morning when the
fast three boats—containing Col. Keitt and
a number of his o%ers—left the Island.—
The slow match was lighted bj' Capt. Hu-
guenin at Wagner, and by Capt. Lesesne at
Gregg; but, owing to some defect in the
fuses, no explosion took place at either fort.
During the evacuation the enemy was not
idle. A constant fire of shell was kept up
against Wagner, and his howitzer barges
. were busily plying about this side of Morris
Island, to prevent the retreat of our men.
Bat fortunately, the night was murky, and
all our barges, with the exception of one,
containing about twelve or fifteen men,
passed in safety.
A little before three o’clock this morning
the following was received from Maj. Elliott,
commanding Fort Sumter:
Fort Sumter, Sept. 7—2.40 a. m.
All the garrison of Morris Island who
came hero have been shipped. Lt, Haskell’s
,boat from the Chicora was captured by a
Yankee barge. Two of the crew came to
Fort Sumter and report that all our troops
had left the Island.
STEPHEN ELLIOTT,
Majoj Commanding.
Thus ends the defense of Morris Islands
The issue has been foreseen since the cne
my’s first success on the 10th of July. The
defense of the Island had been prolonged
Jar beyond what was deemed possible at first,
and the brave garrisons who have held it
deserve the admiration of their country
men.
Tho aggregate ol casualties in the strug
gle for the islaud have been, on our side,
about 700—killed, wounded and missing.—
The enemy’s loss is estimated at about six
thousand. The successful evacuation, after
the glorious defense of forty-eight days, is,
under all the circumstances, a most gratify
ing military event.
Large fires were plainly seen on the nia:ht
of the 21st in the rear of Chattanooga. All
the fords are strongly guarded by infantry
and artillery; rifle pits cover the hillsides in
the vicinity ot the fords, and the work of
crossing our army seems likely to be a
bloody’ one._ The enemy displayed a dispo
sition to resist our passage of the river, but
deserters say he is removing the greater
portion of his troops, leaving 3inall guards
to annoy us.
Tho heavy cannonading heard last night
in the direction of Chattanooga was to cov
er a raid across the river to cut the Knox
ville and Cleveland road. The attempt was
successfully made by two companies, who,
crossing on rude rafts, burned two bridges
on the road, and returned without the loss
ol a man.
The zeal and iudustry of the troops is a
matter of great satisfaction to the General,
whose plans thU3 far have proven successful
in every instance.
Stevenson, Ala., Aug. 23—Eleven de
serters of Co. G, 1st Louisiana, came into
Negley’s lines last night.- They were re
eeatlvdetailed as crew =tfor the rebel steam
er at7*oint of Rocks. They abandoned her
on Tuesday, twenty miles below Ciiattanoo-
It is reported that A. P. Hill’s and Polk’s
corps are at Chattanooga.
The demoralization of the rebel army is
said to lie complete. Three thousand army
deserters are on Lookout Mountain await
ing an advance. These men report hun
dreds of loyal mountaineers engaged in pi
loting deserters through the mountains.
The 1st Louisiana, Bragg’s headquarters
guard, has been reduced by desertion to less
thau one hundred men.
Many furloughed men of Pemberton’s ar
my are coming in our lines. They say the
army can never be brought together again.
Seven deserters from one company from
Mississippi came in a body on the 20th —
Bragg’s army, will go to pieces if again at
tacked.
Wilder crossed the Tennessee last evening
aud burned a small railroad bridge near
Shell Mound, thus severing the rebel com
munication between the right and left. In
view of the impracticability of common
roads, this is an important affair. A second
ferry boat and two barges brought them to
this side. It was the burning of this bridge
which was thought to be the destruction of
the steamer Point of Rocks, which boat es
caped, reaching Chattanooga on Thursday.
Important events in the vicinity of Chatta
nooga and Harrison, must soon transpire.

NORTHERN ACCOUNT OF THE ATTACK ON
CHATTANOOGA.
Stevenson. Aug. 23.
Our advance arrived in front of Chatta
nooga on the evening of the 20th, and on
the evening of llie 21st opened fire on the
city. The enemy replied with great fury
from their shore and water batteries, pla\ r -
ing 19 guns. A rifled 32 pounder covered
the enemy’s position, and was excellently
worked, one killing 4 of our artillerv hor
ses aud taking off the leg of Corporal Mc
Cook, ot Capt, Lilly’s 10th Indiana battery.
This and another gun were the only ones
that reached us. The shore batteries are
very strong and carefully built, their para
pets measuring at least 15 feet in breadth.
The water batteries are formidable, being
sunk to the level ot the water and protected
by strong parapets with embrasures.
Chattanooga was shelled from 10 to 5 p.
ra., resulting in the silencing of the enemy’s
guns. Capt. Lilly threw shells a distance
of 2,000 yards into the embrasures, dismoun
ting the rebel guns. The larger of 2 steam
ers lying on the opposite side of the river
wits sunk by our shells, and the other seri
ously disabled. 'A pontoon of 47 boats,
moored opposite to our forces, was protect
ed from destruction by a line ofreb.fi sharp
shooters.
Forty prisoners have been taken.
Deserters and refugees are coming in in
great numbers.
A small train of wegons and the mules of
a rebel battery were taken.
Scouts and refugees say that two divis
ions hold Chattanooga, and that Hill’s, for
merly Hardee’s, is in the vicinity of Bridge
port. Starne’s brigade is in the vicinity of
Smith’s X Roads, and Forre°.t is near King
ston. There are no rebels to the north of
the river.
Intelligent refugees and doserters say that
Johnston came up on the 21st with 2 trains
of reinforcements, and superseded Bragg,
who is reported to have gone to Atlanta.^

Fellow-Soldiers! Men of Georgia! a ruth
less ioe is on your borders—almost at your
very doors, aud if not repelled, will dese
crate the soil ot our beloved State with his
polluted and unhallowed tread. Will you
suffer your homes to be desolated, your
wives, sisters and mothers insulted and out
raged by the vandal hordes of the North,
who are destitute of humanity and strangers
to all the laws and practices of civilized war
fare ? Our hope, our safety, our freedom,
| and all that men fficld most dear, depend
! upon the stalwart arms and unflinching
| courage of our people. Rally, I beseech you
j to your country’s call! Go aud battle side
! by side with year comrades in the field !—
Let none point the finger of scorn at you or
your descendants after you, bu% rather live
cherished in the memory of jour country
and the pride of your children's children; or
be numbered with the once gallant and ever
honored dead, whose names and memories
will adorn the pages of future history.
