ORDERS OF GEH. WAYNE.
Wc invite the attention of all concerned
to the latest orders of the Adjutant and In
spector General of the State. These orders
change the place of rendezvous for the mem
bers of the six Tkontli contingent force from
Kingston to Cart^rsville, or Resaca, as may
be most convenient.
THE SITUATION IN FRONT.
An intelligent gentleman who arrived in
our city yesterday morniDg from the front,
gives us the following information:
Three trains left Ckickamauga at five
o’clock P. M. on Wednesday, bringing away
all the government property, army stores,
and other valuables.
The Yankee cavalry were prowling about
near to Graysvillc. three miles north of that
place, when last heard from; while an ade
quate force of Confederates was also near
to Gray ville, holding the passes.
Another Confederate force was holding
the country east of the State Road, to inter
cept raids—changing their positton to suit
emergencies.
The main body ol HR forces were at the
right place to meet the enemy and to give
them battle.
From the latest accounts, we are inclined
to think that the enemy, which is in very
large force, if he gives battlh at all, will do
so on the Alabama side, near to our State
line, west of Rome.
From a deserter, who came over to Gen-
Bragg’s army, most valuable information
was obtained, which was confirmed by our
scouts. This deserter, who, we learn, is
quite an iutelligentMnan, is closely guarded
and watched.
Many rumors arc :ifloat, but we place no
confidence in them. We feel satisfied from
all that we believe to he reliable, that wily
as Uosfcrans is reputed to be, he has this
time met his match, and will be discomfited
in his movements if he.docs not fight, and
will be beaten if he does. Let our people
cheer up, for day is again breaking!
As a whole, the letter is the most ridicu
lously written thing that we have seen for
some time—a clumsy attempt to make sense
—a miserable desire to appear profound—
and a tissue of falsehoods from beginning to
end, mark this last prodaction of the man
who sits in the presidential Chair at Wash
ington.

A FART OF KB. (HILL’S CONGRESSIONAL
RECORD.
In the “ Countryman” we find republish
ed the following letters, one address:.! by
seven of our delegation in the Congress of
the United States shortly after the State se
ceded from the “ Old Union,” to Mr. Speak
er Pennington, and the other by Mr. Hill to
the same individual, from which it will be
seen how essentially different the position of
the last named representative from Georgia
was from that of his colleagues. These let
ters are peculiarly interesting at this time:
The Hon. Wm. Pennington, Speaker of the
House of Representatives:
SirWe have received official informa
tion that the people of Georgia, in conven
tion assembled, on the 19th Jan. inst. adopt
ed and passed an ordinance, ol which the
following is a copy:
“ We, the people ot Georgia, m conven
tion assembled, do declare and ordain, and
it is hereby ordained, that tho ordinance
CHARLESTON.
While a good many ot bur people have
made up their minds that Charleston would
fall, wc have ever had au abiding confidence
in its invincibility. The news which we re
ceivcd by telegraph on Wednesday has
strengthened our conviction, that not only
will Charleston emerge victorious from this
contest, but that the hated flag ol despotism
will never float over the ruined walls of
Sumter. Although all our guns arc dis.
mounted, the spirit and gallantry of the men
that garrison the fort, remain unshaken, and
the heroic manner in which they repulsed
the enemy on Wednesday morning with
brickbats, assures us of that fact.
There is no cause for us to despair of
Gen. Beauregard’s ability to hold Charles
ton. Even if Moultrie, Fort Johnson, and
the other works should be battered down by
the enemy, while the men preserve their
f pirit and courage, we have no-fears of the
result; and, to use the words ot W. Gill-
more Sims:
“though science fails,
The steel prevails,
When hands that wield own hearts of oak,
These, though the wail
Of stone may fall,
Grow stronger with each, each hostllo stroke ”
LINCOLN’8 LAST LETTER.
This splendid document we present to our
readers this morning. Like all the noble (?)
productions that have emanated from the
pen of Lincoln, the last is replete with insi
dious and double meaniug remarks.
I le says that “no word of submission has
yet come from the rebel army,” but prom
ises that if any should come, he will not re
spect it. We think he will be very apt to
accept it when it does come. He tells the
pebple’that as they would not fight, he had
to call upu the negroes to take their place,
and after a long argument in defense of the
“free American citizen,” he goes on with a
lot of praise to the “nobie” men who have
fought for the Union, and in“Iugine” style,
informs them that “the Father of Waters
goes uuvexed to the sea,” as if the “father of
waters” was ever angry when rebellion had
control of it.
His claim of victories at Antietam, Mur
freesboro, and Gettysburg, strikes us as ra
ther rich. A few more such victories wilj
see Meade’s army non est. He tunes his
harp to a louder note when praising “Uncle
Sam’s” noble fleet. He gravely assures the
people that they go everywhere, even where
the ground is a little damp! We should not
he surprised if his “noble fleet” gets stuck in
a mud hole before long.
We think we see the picture he has drawn
of the negro, after he has helped to restore
the Union. Won’t it be a pretty sight to
look at ?
lie closes this brilliant ettusiou byre-
questing the people to keep “sober.” The
tetter, as it is Written, implies a doubt .whe
ther he was sober during the time he was
engaged in penning it, as it is the most ridi
culous letter that we have seen lor so me
time, and almost beats his splendiferous mes*
age to the last U. S . Congress.
His finishing flues t j iat a j U3t (j 0 j w fli
give a rightful result, if meant that the A p
mighty would judge betw
adopted by the people of Georgia in 1788,
whereby the Constitution of the United
was signed, and ratified, and adopted, and
all acts, and parts- of acts, of the General
Assembly, ratifying and adopting the amend
ments of said Constitution, are hereby re
pealed and rescinded. And we hereby de
clare and ordain-that the union now subsist
ing between the State of Georgia and the
other States, under the name of the United
States, is hereby dissolved,” &c.
In view of the foregoing, we hereby au
nounce that we are no longer members ol
the United States Congress:
Martin J Crawford,
Lucius J Gartrell.
Thos. Hardeman, Jr.
J Jackson.
John J Jones.
Peter E Love;
John W H Underwood.
The following letter was read:
To the Hon. W Pennington :
Sir—Satisfied, as I am, that a majority of
the convention of the people of Georgia
now sitting, desires that that State should
no longer be represented on this floor, and
in obedience to the will of the people, ~
hereby resign the seat I hold as a member
of the House.
JOSHUA HILL.
From the foregoing, it will be seen, whil
Mr. Hill’s colleagues (with the exception o
Mr. Trippe, who, we see it stated, was ab
sent) recognized the ordinance of seces sion
and declared that they were no longer mem
bers of the United States Congress, that gen
tleman, solitary and alone, thought proper
to resign the seat ho held as a member of
the House, leaving, by this act of his, a va
cancy to fill, and thus at that time virtually
repudiating the action of his Slate and its
ordinance of secession. What liis position
now is, our readers who have read his let
ter to the triumvirate, Messrs. Calhoun
Thrasher, and Adair, in this city, can deter
mine for themselves. Like the “ Country
man,” we had long since come to the con
elusion that “well might Lincoln s affidavit
maker pass over Mr. Hill when swearing
the balance of the Georgia delegation guilty
of treason to tho U. S. Govt.”
LATEST FROM THE UNITED STATES.
IMPORTANT LETTER FROM ABRA
HAM LINCOLN.
Full Exposition of his views on the Prospect
and Conditions of Peace.
THE NEGRO QUESTION REVIEWED.
MR. COLLYER, OF VIRGINIA.
This gentleman has recently distinguished
himself by submitting a resolution, at once
traitorous, and a libel on the State of Vir
ginia. His resolution was for his State, m
unison with the other States of the Confed
eracy, to send commissioners to each North
ern State and demand of them whether it is
their intention to let us leave the Union in
peace or not. Nowj whether Mr. Collyer
is a natural born fool or not, wc cannot tell
but it looks very much like a3 if he was.
Has not over two years of bloody war demon
strated that the States of the South would
not be permitted to leave the Union in peace?
Then what more does Mr. Collyer desire in
the shape of commissioners ? We rejoice
very much to know that he was the only
man who could submit such a resolution and
vote for it; and we congratulate Virginia
upon the fact of his being the only man in her
Senate who could offer such a disgraceful
resolution. Let Mr. Collyer visit the battle
field, and he will‘then sec that the North
will not consent to our parting’,Irom her until
she is well drubbed into doing so. Let him
6ec the long list of killed and wounded in the
past two and a-half years, and instead of sub
mitting resolutions that bring disgrace upon
his States .use his pjsition in devising
means to support our armies and retrieve
our currency. Mr. Collyer appears to be one
of those men who are in favor of the war
ceding by “statesmanship,” or, in other
words, that we shall beg the enemy to quit
fighting, and give us that independence wc
claim as a sacred light.
Very Courteous.—The Atlanta Intelli
gencer, which admitted to its columns a scur
rilous attack upon the Southern Watchman,
was very respectfully requested in our last
issue, if it did not see proper to copy our de
fence, at least to state that we denied the
truth of the allegations of its correspondent.
It has failed t<5 do us the justice—we will not
say favor—to make this statement Perhaps
the editor did not notice our request.
We certainly did not notice the request re
ferred to in the foregoing from onr Athens
cotemporary, who, we regret to see, deems
“scurrilous” the satire of our correspondent
from Rome, “ Wolf-Skin." Bear no malice,
friend u Watchman," for we are sure “ Wolf-
Skin" did not iniend to misrepresent your
position.
Straws.—There were five gentlemen in
* our sanctum yesterday at the same -time and
the question of the Governorship was intro
duced. Two of them had always opposed
Gov. Bi own and the other three had support
ed him on two occasions, but opposed him
in his contest with Judge Nisbet. All de
clared that they would support him now,and
that they had rather sec him elected for life
than have Josh. Hill in that position two
hours. We make a great mistake if this is
not the preference of an overwhelming ma
jority of the people of Georgia.
Executive Mansion, )
Washington, Aug. 23. )
Hon. James E. Conkling:
My Dear Sir: Your letter inviting me to
attend a mass meeting of unconditional Un
ion men, to be held at the Capitol of Illinois
on the 34 day of September, has been re
ceived. It would be very agreeable to me
to thus meet my old Irlends at my own
home, but I cannot just now be absent from
the city so long as a visit there would re
quire.
The meeting is to be of all those who main
tain unconditional devotion to the Union,
and I am sure my old political friends will
thank me for tendering, as I do, the nation’s
gratitude to those other noble men whom no
partisan malice or partisan hope can make
false to the nation’s life. There are those
who are dissatisfied with me. To such 1
would say: you desire peace and you blame
me that we do not have it. But how can
we obtain it? There are but three conceiv
able ways. First: to suppress the rebellion
by force of arms. This I am trying to do.—
Are you for it ? If you are, so far wc are
agreed. If 3-0u are not for it, we are not
agreed. * ,*
A second way is to give up the Union. I
am against this. If you are you should say
so plainly. If you are not for force, nor yet
for dif solution, there only remains some im
aginary compromises. I do not believe that
any compromises embracing the mainte
nance of the Union is now possible. All
that I learn leads to directly the opposite be
lief. The strength of the rebellion is its
military—its army. That army dominates
all the country and all the people within its
range. Any offer of terms made by any
man or men within that range, in opposition
to that army is simply nothing, for the pres
ent, because such man or men have no pow
er whatever to enforce their side of the
compromise, if one were made with them.
To illustrate: Suppose a refugee from the
South and the peace men of the North get
together and frame and proclaim a compro
mise embracing the restoration of the Un
i@n.: in what way can that compromise be
used to keep General Lee’s army out of Penn
sylvania ? Gen. Meade’s army can keep Gen
Lee’s arm}' out of Pennsylvania, and 1 think
can ultimately drive it out of existence, but
no paper compromise to which the coltroll-
ers of Gen. Lee’s army are not agreed, can at
all affect that army'. In an effort at such
compromise we would waste time, which the
enemy would improve to our disadvantage,
and that would be all.
A compromise, to be effective, must be
made either with those who control the ar
my, or with the people first liberatcd?rom
the domination of that army, by the success
of our army. Now, allow me to assure you
that no word or intimation from the rebel
army or from any other of the men controll
ing it, in relation to any peace compromise,
has ever come to my knowledge or belief.—
All charges or intimations to the contrary
arc deceptive and groundless, and I piomisc
you that it any such proposition shall here
after come, it shall not be rejected and kept
secret irom you.
I freely acknowledge myself to be the ser
vant of the people according to the bond of
service—the United States Constitution—and
that as such I am responsible to them. But,
to be plain,you arc dissatisfied with me about
the negro. Quite likely there is a difference
of opinion between, you and myself upon
that subject I certainly wish that all men
could be free, while you, I suppose, do not.
Yel, I have neither adopted or proposed any
measure which is not consistent with even
your views, provided you are for tho Union.
I suggested compensated emancipation, to
which you replied that you wished not to be
taxed to buy negroes. But I had not asked
you to be taxed to buy negroes, except in
such a way as to save you from greater tax
ation; to save the Union exclusively by other
means. You dislike the emancipation proc
lamation,.ami, perhaps, you want to have it
retracted. You say it is unconstitutional.—
I think differently. I think that the Consti
tution invests its Commander-in chief with
the law of war in time of war. The most
that cau be«eaid—if so much—is that slaves
are property. Is there, has there ever been,
any question that by the law of war the pro
perty of both of enemies and friends may be
taken when needed ? And is it not needed
whenever taken it helps us or suits he ene
my ? Armies, the world over, destroy the
enemy’s property when they cannot use it,
and even destroy their own to keep it from
the enemy. Civilized belligerents do all in
their power to help themselves or hurt tne
enemy, except a few things recorded as bar
barous or cruel. Among the exceptions are
the massacre of vanquished foes and non-
combatants, male and female.
But the proclamation as a law is valid or
is not valid. If it is not valid it needs no
retraction. If it is vallid it cannot be re
tracted any more than the dead can be
brought to life. Some of yiou profess to
think that its retraction would, operate fa
vorably for the Union. Why better after
the retraction than before ihe issue? There
was mere than a }-ear and a half for trial to
suppress the rebellion before the proclama
tion was issued, the last one hundred days
which passed under explicit notice it was
coming unless averted by those in revolt re
turning to their allegiance.
The war has certainly progressed as fa
vorably for us since the issue of the procla
mation as before. I know as fully as one
can know the opinions of others, that so me
of the commanders of our armies in the
field who have given us our most important
victories, believe that the emancipation pol
icy and the aid of the colored troops consti •
tutes the heaviest blows yet dealt to the re
bellion ; and that at least one of those im
portant successes could not have been achiev
ed when it was, but for the aid of the black
soldiers.
Among the commanders holding these
views are some who have never had -any
affinity with what is called Abolitionism, or
With Republican party politics, but who
hold them purely as military opinions. I
submit their opinions as being entitled to
some weight against the objections often
urged that emancipation and the arming of
the blacks are unwise as military measures,
and were not adopted as such in good
faith.
You say that you will not light to free ne
groes; some of them seem to be willing to
fight for you; but no matter; fight you,
then, exclusively to save the Union. I is
sued the proclamation 011 purpose to aid
you in saving the Union. Whenever you
shall have conquered all resistance to the
Union, if I shall uage you to continue fight
ing, it will be an apt time then for you to
dectaoe that you will not light to free ne-
Do you think differently ? I thought that
whatever negroes can be got to do as sol-
diers, leaves just so much less for white sol
diers to do in saving the Union.
Does it appear otherwise to you ? But
negroes, like other people, act upon motive.
Why should they do anything for us if we
will do nothing for them? If they stake
their lives for us, they k must be prompted
by the strongest motive, even the promise
of freedom: and the promise, beiug made,
must be kept.
The signs look better. The Father of Wa
ters again goes unvexed to the sea ; thanks
to the great North-west for it; nor yet whol
ly' to them. Three hundred miles up they
met New England, the Empire, Keystone,
and New Jersey, hewing their way right and
left. The sunny South, too, iu more colors
than one, also lent a hand onu the spot.—
Their pait of history was jotted down in
black and white. The goal was a great Na
tional one, and let none be banned who
bore an honest part in it; while those who
have cleared the great river may well be
proud.
Even that is not all. It is hard lo say
that anything has been more bravely
and better done than at Anticlam, Murfrees
boro’, Gettysburg, and on many fields of less
note.
Nor must Uncle Sam’s noble fleet be for
gotten. At all the water’s margins they have
been present. Not, only on the deep sea, the
broad bay, the rapid river, but also up the
narrow, muddy bay’ou, and wherever the
ground was a little damp, they have been
and made their tracks.
Thanks to all, for the Great Republic, for
the principles by which it lives and keeps
alive for man’s vast luture ! Thanks to all !
Feaee does not appear so distant as it did.
I hopo it will come soon, come to slay, and
so come as to be worth the keeping in all fu
ture time, it will then have been proved
that among freemen there can be no success
ful appeal from the ballot to the bullet, and
that they who take such an appeal are sijrc
to lose their case and pay the cost; and then
there will be some black men who can re
member that, with silent tongues and clench
ed teeth, and steady eye, and well poised
bayonet,they have helpedjmaukind An to thi
great consummation, while I fear that therc3
will be some white men unable to forget
that with malignant heart and deceitiul
speech they have striven to hinder it. . Still
let us not be over sanguine ot a speedy and
final triumph. Let us be quite sober, let us
diligently apply the means, n&verjfldubting
that a just God, ia his own good time,-will
give us the result.
Yours, very trulv,

ACCOUNT OF THE LATE FIGHT IN GREEN
BRIER.
Lewisburg, Va., Aug. 29, 1SG3.
Messrs. Editors: A very hard battle was
fought near the White Sulphur Springs, on
Wednesday and Thursday last, in which
our forces gained a complete victory. The
enemy, about 3,000 strong, commanded by
Gen. A vet ill, started from Moorefield, in
Hardy county', came through Pendleton
Highland and Pocahontas counties, in which
latter county theymet and drovo back be
yond the Warm Springs, in Bath, county
Col. Wm. L. Jackson, who had but a small
force. From the Warm Springs they came
directly to the White Sulphur Springs, in
this county, at which point thdy were met
by our troops, consisting of the'22il Virginia
Regiment, Lieut. Col. Barbee; the 45th Vir
ginia Regiment, Col. Brown ; Derick’s Bat
talion, Lieut. Col. Derick; Edgar’s Battalion
Lieut. Col. Edgar; Chapman’s Battery, (4
pieces;) Capt. Chapman; the 8LI1 Virginia
Cavalry, Col. Corn; and Dunn’s Battalion
of Cavalry, Lieut. Col. Dunn. Col. Patton,
of thc22d, commanding the Brigade, in tins
absence of Gen. EclnAp, and the whole com
manded by Maj. GenT Jones. There were
live regiments of the enemy and all
mounted, and a battery of six pieces.
I suppose the forces were nearly equal,
possibly the enemy were 300 or 400 stronger
A number of charges was made upon our
troops, and each was very handsomely re
pulsed.
All concede that our men exhibited the
greatest courage and endurance, for the fight
commenced about 8 o’clock on Wednesday
morning the 28th inst., continued through
the day and night, and ended about 12
oclock on Thursday.
Our loss was about 30 killed and 00 lo 70
wounded, ami a few prisoners taken, among
them Major McKendree, Q. M. Lf. Col
Barbee had his arm broken,' though it will
be saved. I do not koowthe loss of the ene
my', as they buried many of their dead auc\
carried off all the wounded who coahl be re
moved. They had ten ambulances, and a
number of wagons full on their retreat, but
they left on the Held 50 dead, 70 wounded,
and wc took besides about 00 or 70 prison
ers.
The enemy treated our citizens iu the
neighborhood in the most wanton manner.
They destroyed household furniture, broke
up chairs, cups, dishes, bedsteads, burea us,
&c., tore open the beds, and scattered the
feathers, tore up all the wearing apparel,
broke the windows, and destroyed the clocks
even. The milch cows were shot, and all
the corn, wheat, hay', oats, &c., were taken.
They retreated towards Beverly; and are a
part of Gen. Kelly’s forces. Gen. Jones fol
lowed them some 25 miles, but they made
nod their escape.

The folio wing’is the Yankee account of
the late advance up the Peninsula and the
affair at Bottoms’ Bridge. It is magnified
by the Yankees into a rather grand affair,
and the announcement that they returned
with “ valuable informal on,” is quite arnus

Fortress Monroe, Sept. 1.— Gen. Wes
ton’s cavalry has just returned from an ex
pedition to Bottoms’ Bridge. The forces
engaged were parts of the first New York
mounted rifies. Col, Onderdonk, and the
fifth Pennsylvania cavalry, Col. Lewis.—
They left Williamsburg on the 2Gtk ult., and
pushed through New Kent Court House.—
At the latter place they found one regiment
of infantry in rifle pits, supported by a squad
ron of cavalry. A charge was immediately'
made, which carried ’the rifle pits and drove
the enemy across the bridge, which they
tore up behind them.
Our troops lost one killed and one wound
ed. They captured five pi isoners from the
enemy. The enemy also left on the ground
dead, one officer, one sergeant and" t wo men,
besides a number they took with them.
The bridge beiug rendered impassable, and
the object of the expedition being entirely

valuable information in regard to the forces

Having been announced as a candidate for the rep

this method of saying to the people that I would like to
be elected. Should it be yo ur pleasure to place me in
this position, I shall vote on all questions of public in
terest upon their merits alone, without regard to who
favors or opposes them, according to my own conviction
of duty.
I no tv consi ler it the duty of every private individu al,
as well as public men, to shape Ids actions so as to give
the greates amount of aid in freeing the country from
the dangers which now environ us—to establish our
complete independence and eternal separation from the
fanatici of t he North, who seek to emancipate our slaves,
obliterate our State lines, annul our municipal laws, con
fiscate our property, and make us and our children vas
lal3 for all time-to come.
The South has too many maimed youths, grief-stricken
fathers, bereaved mothers and widows and helpless or
phans, ever to clasp the bloody hands of our enemies In
political f ellowship. The bare suggestion would be aik
ing too much of human nature, and is repellant to every
principle of manhood.. It 13 no time now to ask or dis
pute about who brought on these troubles; whether It
was too late or too soon; the vindictive, cruel, leiasnnas
of the Yankees as developed in the progress of the two
years war, leaves us truly to regret we had not made
greater preparation at an earlier day. The only alter
native is to fight out of it. Hence all legislation should
be so directed as to'secure our triumph in arms.
The army should be, must be maintained, and the
wives and children of the soldlers'in the field, protected
andcared for by wise and just legislation. These things
will require heavy taxation. The right sof p roducers too,
and of business and commercial men should be protected
against alt arbitrary, vexatious and unnecessary seiz
ures and improper interference. All officials, both civil
and military should be held strictly to the discharge of
the duties which come withtn their respective pi ovinces.
Ail offices of large”patronage should occasionally change
hands, for where one man retains power and controls it
too long, abuses tnd corruption are sure to creep in,
and cannot be discovered or remedied as long asthoie
concerned keep the key to their own secrets. As appli
cable to this view of the subjeetthe State Railroad, the
extraordinary increase of executive patronage arising
from the organization of a State army with the numer
ous regiments for Confederate service require the serious
consideration of the people who are oppored to the one
man power which is ever dangerous to republics. I
think a little airing and srubblng up of the Executive
mansion once in four years at least would contribute
largely to the health and well being of the body politic.
Therefore, I shall not vote for the present incumbent,
but shall cast my vote for Governor for one of the o hf r
candidates that I think meat likely to carry out such
measures as will secure tur independence and best in
terests.
I belong to no party .or clique, but propose to “tote
my own skillet,” and do not intend by any combination
to be impliedly or otherwise bound, if elected, to vote
for or against any measure because it la a party meas
ure. This po Icy has been one of the greatest curses to
to the country. I go free or not at a’l. I shkll enter
into no bitter contest for the office. If this schedule
suit3 you, you can “govern yourselves accoreingly.”
Respectfully,
Seplt0-d3t G. W. ADAIR.

THE FINEST IN TH
To the Voters of th® 8 th Congressional
District.
Permanently disabled from rejoining my
regiment, in compliance with the expressed
wishes of many friends, as well as in accord
with my own leelings, I announce inyselfas
candidate to represent you in the House
' Representatives of the next Confederate
Congress.
My physical condition will prevent me
from visiting the several counties of the
District, and seeing my fellow-citizens, ei
ther at public meetings or in private inter
course.
Should it be your pleasure to elect me, I
can only say that I will discharge the duties
of the office to the best of my ability.
But, whether elected or nor, whether in or
out of Congress, I wish it distinctly under
stood that 1 am utterly opposed, and will
never consent, under any cirumstance?, to
any compromise or settlement with the
Abolition Government at Washington, short
of a full and complete recognition of our In
dependence.
Very respectfully,
L. J. GLENN.
Egg” The papers- of this Congressional
District will please copy once a week nntil
the day of election, and send bill to this
office.
. FOR SALE.
T UB PR3SFNT OWNER, having bu siness demanding
his whole ami personal attent'on, has concluded to
sell this dfsirable property. It will be found to bo jus;
• he place for Refugees, and can accommodate six hind-
lies in separate buildings. The place is so well known
that a description is not needed.
For a Hotel it 13 unequalled, a3 there is a large Tract
of Land belonging lo ttie place, capable of railing all
that may be wanted. There are negro quarters for fif.h
negroes, and a large new barn;.
Persons wishing to purchase cm come and look at the
property, or address the undersigned at Etowah, Ca
W. T. QUINCY',
seplt-lm or A. W. McCONNELL,
FOR SALE.
B Y permission of the Honorable James S. Hook, Jud^e
of the Middle Circuit, we now offer f rsale that oe-
tirable and valuable property known as MILLEN loca
ted at ihe junction of the Central and Augusta Railroad.
The tract contains about 240 acres more or less, 109
acres cleared and in a high slate of cultivation, with Or
chards and VineyarJs, the balance in woods. Of tho
uncleared land there is about 50 acres first quality ham
mock, which will produce from 50 to 75 bushels of corn
per acre.
The improvements are furnished with tras and water
throughout. Both the Central and Augusta Railroads
passing through the tiact, forming a junction near Ihe
middle, make it one of the bo3t Etands iu the Confedt ra
cy for merchandising and hotel keeping.
It ia seldom that property posse'sing such great advan
tages is thrown on the market. The location is perfectly
healthy. In the hands of an enterprising man it could
be made the most valuable in the Confederacy, by laying
it off in lots aod selfing them. Doable the sum a.eked
for the place could he roalized. and the best parfrf the
property left, whish would pay on the rents an annu il
interest of from 10 to 14 per cent, on the capi.al. It
would not be offered for s. 13 Were it not that the propri
etor Is disable t Irom physical infirmities, yvh:cli he finds
growing on him dally, to give it that attention It requires.
Now is the time for you who are seeking proctable in
vestments, or wishing to make orlunes by specu! ting,
to lay h-ld, for you may never meet with such - noth, r
opportunity.
For further particulars enquire of either cf the urn'
signed on the premises. ,
