RmnPATniCK, Secy. iiau Mcrcaiv. FRIDAY MORNING. SEPT. 1! ‘UBLTC MEETING IN D EX ALB COUNT*. Decatur, Ga., Sept. 1,18G3. A liu ge number of the citizens of DeKulb county met tliis day in the Court-house, and 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 county, upon certain evils connected with 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. <>u motion of Maj. John \Y. Fowler, a Committee of nine, consisting of the follow ing, were appointed to report to an ndjouru- eJ meeting, resolutions expressive of the sentiments of the meeting upen the ques tions, for tho consideration of whinR u>s meeting was called: William Wright, John C. Ragsdale, Harris Goodwin, Samuel C. Martin, Samuel House, F. II. Gay, Milton A. Candler, John W. Fowler, Daniel Johnson. Upon the suggestion of the committee appointed, the meeting adjourned to Satur day, 3th inst., to receive the report 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. freta the Chari 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. Tax in Kind.

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.^ From our look-outs on the mountains this TO THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA Headquarters, Atlanta, ) September 7,1863. f GENERAL ORDERS NO. 1.

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.
