THE SITUATION IN FRONT.
We presented our readers yesterday mor
ning with the latest telegraphic news from
our special correspondent “290,” from the
front; in advance of all other press re
ports.
The latest received up to this hour is that
•the enemy Juul recrossed the river and were
in'line of battle in front of Chattanooga in
order to check our advance and cover their
retreat. It is believed that a battle was
lougbt Wednesday evening, as die bead of
our column on that morning was within 4
miles of Chattanooga. But we have as yet
no official repott of its occurrence from ou r
(’orroapondent.
Col. Hodge’s Ya. cavalry arc at Cleveland
The enemy’s cavalry, under Gen. Byrd, were
supposed to be at Charleston, and an attack
was anticipated. The track from Cleveland
to Chattanooga is in good runing order, an
engine on Wednesday having run over the
road to within three miles of Chattanooga
where it was met that morning at 10 o’clock
by Col. Scott’s cavalry, who turned it back
the enemy at that time being still in Chatta
iiooga.
In another column we publish a most in
teresting general description ot the great
battle of Chicamauga, from the graphic pen
of our talented cocrespoudent “290,” sent
us by special express, which will be read
with great infercst.
We are gratified to know that Gen. Wal
thall and Wright are not killed. Gen. Ma-
ney was reported slightly wounded. The
Louisiana Washington artillery dieted with
great bravery, and suffered most severely in
in officers and men. The 4th Tcnn. lost Col.
McRay • Lt.. Col. Lewis and Maj. Bradshaw
wounded. Col. Nuckols, of the 4th Ky.
was wounded. Col. Woodruff, of 36th Ala
missing; Lt. Col. Herndon,Maj. Hannegan,
Capt Cleveland, Lts. Knox and Bank3
wounded, and Lts. Bell and Jordan, of same
regiment, killed.
We learn that the house of Crawford,
Frazer & Co. have, with most considerate
patriotic zeal, closed their office until the
sick and wounded of Gen. Bragg’s army are
cared for. We recommend other parties to
follow, and let speculators and extortion
ers take a lesson from this devotion to our
country’s cause.
LET EVERY MAN VOTE.
Thomas H. Benton, in his “30 Years in
-1 he l r . S.Senate,” gives a number of instances
ol the most important measures of our old
government passing the Senate by a majority
of one vote. A Governor of Massachusetts
was once, in our recollection, elected by that
majority.
We do not write this from any apprehen
siou t hat the issue of the next Gubernatorial
election hangs on so slender a thread, but
wish to impress upon the voters of Georgia
the value of their individual votes, each one
<>1 which might have the same influence
which one yote has becu known to exercise
in the examples referred to.
There arc some other reasons for a voter’s
exercise of this hisright, even when he may
think tho candidate of his choice will lie
elected without his aid. The election of a
Governor for the State depends upon his re
ceiving a majority of the aggregate vote ot
the whole State. lt is impossible to know
accurately how other counties will vote;
and very certain it is that if all the lrieuds
of a candidate were to reason as the delin-.
quent one reasoned, that as his vote was not
necessary tn die election of his favorite can
didate, 1m would not cast it, such a candidate
would not bo elected Governor.
But there is a still higher ground why the
iricndh of Governor Brown should be par
ticular to least their votes at the coming
election in the uexttwo weeks: first, to com
pliment a faithful Chief Executive of tire
f->tate lor liis untving devotion to the in-
.tL-iest-i oyer which he has for’ the last six
3eats presided; aud, secondly, to convince
the enemies of hia policy,, both amongst
ourselves and those with whom the waAs
being waged, besides the rest of mankind,
The soil of Georgia, marked by the war
trail of the enemy, has at last become, with
her sister States, dyed in the blood of the
revolution, while on the banks of the“Rivcr
of Death,’ (Chicayiauga) lie the bones of
the infidel foe, who have been slaughtered
by our braves by thousands. Notwithstand
ing all the boasted brilliant strategy of Rose
crarts, Gen. Bragg has won over him one of
the greatest victories of the war, and once
more the Confederacy may rejoice over the
insolen.-.s and presumption of the abolition
foe. At such a lime it is impossible to give
you more than an outline of the battle, which
has already been anticipated by the tele
grams I have sent you.
The preliminary tight commenced, it may
be said, on Friday the 18tU inst at Alexan
der’-s bridge, 8 miles west of Ringgold. Wftl
thall’s brigado was principally engaged, and
suffered most, one regiment losing 73 killed
and wounded. Gen. Buslirod Johnson’:
brigade moved up at the time from Ringgold
crossing the Chicamauga above at Reed
bridge, the enemy falling back before us, and
marshalling their forces inline of battle
Their advance on Georgia soil had been so
successful and easy, that they, seemed sur
prised at the idea of being checked, content
templating a triumphant entrance into At
lanta.
On Saturday the 19th, the two contend
ing armies confronted each other in battle
array. Our line extended from Reed’s
bridge to Lee and Gordon’s Mills, a distance
of between seven and ten miles over a rug
ged, barren country ot hill and dale. Be
tween 8 and 9 o’clock A. M., the battle open
ed on our right. In the course of an hour the
firing became heavy and rapid, the batteries
of Forrest’s and Walker’s divisions, and the
reserve, Capt. Lumsden’s battery, in com
mand of Maj. Palmer, Chief of Artillery,
keeping up a perfect roar of fire, which was
fully returned by the enemy. The lines ot
both armies moved to and fro like the ad
vancing and receding wavet of the sea.—
Cheatham’s division soon became under fire,
with its artillery, under command of MajoV
Mclantkou Smith. The light was kept up
with varied success, when the gallant divis
ion Jof Gen. Cleburne charged the enemy
after dark, by moonlight, and drove them
two miles from their first line of battle, and
in front of Alexander’s bridge. It was here
the brave Gen. Preston Smith felL After
this victorious and most brilliant achieve
ment, our army rested on their arms for the
night. During the fight, Capt Carnes* bat
tery was captured, all the horses being kill
ed, and ail the artillerists being either kill
ed or wounded. This battery was after
wards retaken by Gen. Smith’s brigade, and
also one or two other pieces which had
been abandoned, the horses being killed.—
Tha‘ day we took the enemy’s celebrated
Loomis’ battery of six guns, and four other
pieces and 1,200 prisoners.
That night the Yankees were hard at
work digging entrenchments, and threw up
three lines of works towards the Missionary
Ridge.
On Sunday morning, the 20th, our troops
were in fine spirits and eager to grapple
again with the foe. Gen. Polk, who com
manded the light, had a hot day’s work be
fore him, but be felt confident of success.-—
The battle field was on an undulating or
rolling open woods, so much so, that artil
lery had room and range enough for full
play. The attack was commenced by our
forces shortly alte 9 o’clock, a. m. Our line
of battle was tour miles west of Chicamauga,
and halt a mile east of tbs main road leading
from Lafayette to Chattanooga. We pressed
the enemy sorely from the start, who, though
strongly contesting the ground inch by inch,
gradually fell back before our braves.—
Charge after charge was made on the enemy,
and one vociferating yell prevailed our ranks,
we turning their left on their centre, and driv
ing back hisright at the same time. In the af
ternoon the enemy attempted to throw rein
forcements from the left to the right across
an open field and the Chattanooga read.—
Maj. Williams’ battery was concentrated on
this road, and cut off the enemy, the whole
forest being completely mowed down with
grape, -canister, shpipuel, and shell; it was
at this time we took several thousand pris
oners. It was after dark that Gen. Polk
carried the last line of the enemy’s entrench
ments, when a thrilling yell of triumph rang
out on the air, which told of our glorious
victory.
The enemy was completely routed, and in
full retreat. Gen. Breckinridge’s division,
and Gen. Preston’s, of Buckner’s corps, also
bore a most gallant part in the charging of
the enemy’s entrenchments, who were driven
three miles, bac k to Missionary Ridge, and
from which the enemy were driven to within
five miles of Chattanooga. Gen. Bragg was
on the field with the troops, night and day,
and in riding down the lines in front of Gen.
Breckinridge’s divisiug, on the night of vic
tory, he was most enthusiastically cheered
by Breckinridge and his brave Kentucky,
Louisiana, Alabama and Florida troops.
We have captured over 40 stand of colors,
45 pieces of artillery, and taken over 6,000
prisoners. Our loss is estimated from eight
to ten thousand, killed and wounded ; the
enemy’s cannot be less than from twenty
to twenty-five thousand.
The battlefield extended about ten miles,
and the carnage was the most frightful yet
witnessed, far exceeding Chancellorsville,
Gettysburg, Murfreesboro or Shiloh. The
constant and terrific roar of artillery never
was exceeded. The fighting of our men on
Sunday evening in carrying the enemy’s en
trenchments was magnificent, grand and
terrible. They faced the whirlwind of lead
and iron with the steadiness and composure
of & summer’s rain. Then came charge af
ter charge, the frightful gaps in our lines be
ing immediately closed up, and with the yell
of demons, our battle cry arose above tne
roar and crash of musketry and artillery*
while the terror-stricken foe fell back aghast
as our braves mounted and carried their en
trenchments, line after line, over the dead
carcasses of the Abolition foe, who fell in
heaps in the pits they had but dug for them
selves.
The battle-field that night by moonlight—
the glittering beams shining on the ghastly
faces oT the dead, distorted in expression
from the wounds of their torn and mangled
bodies, with heaps of the wounded and dy-
ing.with scattered arms strewn every where,
broken artillery carriages and caisons. dead
horses, and all that makes up the debris of a
bloody contested field—was terrible aud ap-
paling.
Gen. Polk fought his corps with great skill
and ability, and with all tlie'coolness that
bravery can command. The noble divisions
of the heroic Breckinridge aud chivalrous
Cheatham carried the last entrenchments and
they slept upon the field with the wreath of
victory crowning their brows. McNair’s brig
ade, attached to Bushrod Johnson’s division
was on the left of Gen. D. H. Hill’s corps,
and charged the entrenchments Sunday with
its famed and distinguished gallantry, taking
14 pieces of artillery. Gen. McNair was
wounded, and the noble Col. R. VV. Harper,
commanding a brigade, was killed. Col.
Harper was a Marylander, but a citwffin of
Arkansas, and had previously distinguished
himself at Oak Hills, Elk Horn, and Mur
freesboro. Gen. Buckner and Hill’s corps
also won imperishable renown. Capt. Jas.
Stone, of Buckner’s escort, (who took Gen.
Willich prisoner at Murfreesboro,) also ad
ded to his laurels.
On Monday, 21st, Gen. Forrest pursued
the enemy, capturing a squadron of Gen,
Stanley’s Yankee cavalry, and general skir
mishing taking place, the enemy retreating
on Chattanooga. Gen. Wheeler had also
captured a large train of wagons, burning a
large portion, and securing over 1,000 priso.
ners. To-night (Tuesday), as I close this
letter, which I send by private express, a
courier just in reports that the euemy are
burning their stores at Chattanooga and
crossing the river.
When it is taken into consideration that
our army had to travel ancle deep in dust
over a wild, barren, broken country, without
affording any subsistence, and our men on
half rations, undergoing forced marches and
terrible sufferings without a murmur, and
then to contemplate their heroism bn the
field, which has won us so great aud glori
ous a victory, it cannot be doubted but that
the God of battles favored our arms. But
for the waut of rations, Geu. Bragg would
have followed up his victory the next day*
but our troops were unable to move until
our supplies came up. In this great battle
Gen. Bragg has exhibited a military sagacity
far overreaching Rosecrans, and by his mas.
terly maneuvres has handled his army with
skill and-judgment that only could have
secured to us such a glorious victory.
I close this letter by appending his con
gratulatory address to his troops, which will
be read with a thrilling glow of interest, and
over which every true heart will, with grati
tude to God, devoutly rejoice. 290-

It has pleased Almighty God to reward the
valor and endurance of our troops, by giving
to our arms a complete victory over the ene
my’s superior numbers.
Homage is due, and is rendered unto Him
who giveth not the battle to the strong.
Soldiers! after two days of severe battle,
preceded by heavy and important outpost
affairs, you have stormed the barricades and
breastworks of the enemy, and driven before
you in confusion and disorder an army
largely superior in numbers, and whoso con
atant theme was your demoralization, and
whose constant boast was your defeat.—
Your patient endurance under privations*
your fortitude and your yak r, displayed at
all times and under all trials, have been
meetly rewarded.
Your Commander acknowledges his oblV
gations, and promises to you, in advance, the
country’s gratitude.
But our task is not ended. We must drop
a soldier’s tear upon the graves of the noble
men who have fallen by our sides, and move
forward.
Much has been accomplished. More re
mains to be done before we can enjoy the
blessings ot peace and freedom.

HURRAH FOR GEORGIA ! HURRAH FOR GOV.
BROWN.
Messrs, Editors :
The opponents of Gov. Brown haver keen
trying hard to make some capital against
him because It his difference with President
-Davis as to the constitutionality and expe
diency of the Conscript Act, and they pre
tend to believe that things would go on bet
ter it the State had a Governor who had no
nerve of his own, and who believed that
President Davis never had done wrong, and
could not do wroiig.
Well, it vrouid seem that all the- balance
of the States in the Confederacy have had
just such Governors as these opponents of
Gov. Brown, in Georgia, so much deserve.
And what have they done ? Gov, Brown,
after Georgia seceded, was not only the first
to seize all the torts aud other public prop
erty in the United States he could get hold
of, but his example was such a good one, all
the balance of the Governors followed right
after him. But they would not, or did not,
follow him; further, he not only had the
foresight to-purchase a large amount of sul
phur and saltpetre, and powder, but he
bought cannon, muskets, Enfield riilcs,
steamboats, and took upwards of twenty
thousand muskets from the United States,
and then turned all of them over to the Con
federacy. What other Governor did as
much or half as much, in rendering aid to
President Davis in this war ? But this is not
all. ;
In the early part ot last year, President
Davis (before the passage ot the Conscrip
tion Act) called upon the Governors of the
various States for their quota of volunteers
—asking lrom Georgia 12,000. Notwith
standing the State then had about 10,000
state troops in the field, at Savannah, guard
ing that city and the coast, thereby reliev
ing the Confederate Government, to a large
extent, in defending Savannah and our sea
coast ; Gov. Brown, by his energy and the
spirit which he infused into his military of
ficers not only raised, at the proper time,
the 12,000 troops called for, but tendered
about . 3,000 more than were called for,
while all of_ these p>ar excellence “ A ami lus
tration ”. Governors did not and could not
furnish|even the quota called for by the
President, and in many of the States the
quota was not furnished, until their soldiers
were forced into the service by the conscript
act.
And, more recently, when the President
called for 8,000 men from Georgia, 7,000
from Alabama, and a due proportion from
the other States, to organize lor State de
fense, where has any State come up to Geor
gia’s standard 1 Notwithstanding Georgia
has in the service, perhaps, a larger number
of Volunteers than any other State, accord
ing to her population, and also had 2,000
State troops in the field, in the upper part
of the State, yet by the extraordinary exer
tions of Gov. Brown, not only the 8,000 but
15,000 have been raised. What have the
par excellence “ Administration ” Governors
of other States done? What has the Gov
ernor of Alabama done ? In his late Mes
sage to the Legislature of his State, he tells
the members that in consequence of the con
duct of the former Legislature in tendering
the Militia officers for conscription, he had
nobody to obey his orders, and that he could
not raise the 7,000 troops for home defense.'
That the resolution of the Legeslaturc in
duced many ot the Militia officers to volun
teer, resign, and that but tew, in commission,
knew anything about their dtities—and he
asked the Legislature to adopt some meas
ure to enable him to raise the 7,000. What
has the other States, besides Alabama, done ?
We hear of no troops raised by them.
And yet all this does not close the mouths
of those who don’t like Gov. Brown, who
want their particular friends, to have con
trol of the affairs of State. . But, notwith
standing Mr. Davis is well pleased, notwith
standing Gov. Brown Is just the kind of
Governor Mr. Davis wants, yet Mr. Davis’
friends (?) try to bamboozle the people by
declaring aud swearing differently. But hear
Mr. Davis himself, speaking too, while he
was arguing the Conscription question with
Gov. Brown, while other States have done
little or nothing. See how fairly and square
ly President Davie admits that Gov. Brown
is the be3t Administration man in the Con-
Napoleon has declared the Mexican coast
from Laguues, ten miles south of Matamo-
ras, to Campeachy, to be under blockade.—
He has done this to break up guerilla bands
who get their supplies from that section.

WILLIAM S. BASSFO&D
Mr. Editor : ■
It gives us much paiu to learn that iu the
case of this worthy gentleman, now under
going legal investigation iu Richmond, per
sonal and State resentments and prejudices
have been allowed to force themselves. From
the testimony so far adduced in the trial, it
would seem that some extraneous influences
were needed to bring about an unfavorable
issue. The truth and the testimony certainly
cannot. We alt, in this community, know
Mr. Bassford. A model of a quiet, modest,
gentleman, he was kind and unassuming*to
an unusual degree. We never knew the man
with as decided and profound convictions of
duty as he entertained on all leading subjects,
who, at the same time, so tempered aud re
strained the impulses ot a fervid mind. His
calm courage was a proverb among his ac
quaintance and*his honor wilhouta spot. It is
incredible in this communitv, where he was
so well known and esteemed, that Win. S.
Bassford could deal the foul blow. Let his
enemy ask himself if an attempt had been
made more than once to insult and degrade
federacy. In reply to Gov. Brown lie says.:
“ In conclusion, I take great pleasure in
recognizing that the history of the pst year
affords the amplest jestifieation for your as
sertion, that’if the question had been, wheth
er the conscription law was necessary in
order to raise men in Georgia, the answer
must have been in the negative. Your no
ble State has promptly responded to every
call that it has been my duty to make on
her, and to yon, personally, as her Execu
tive, I acknowledge my indebtedness for the
prompt, cordial and effective co-opera tion
yon have afforded me in the effort to defend
our common country agtinst the common
enemy.”
