Ci aEton's Alabama JJniotDE.—We are
informed that this brigade, constituting a
ptit of Stuart’s division, Hill’s corpi. in the
buttle of Chicamangi,behaved very gallant
ly. They fought the enemy’s centre, which
Uus strongly entrenched from between one
an l two o'clock Saturday, and were among
tho last withdrawn from iho field on Sunday,
as they made their last charge on the cnc-
i:iyV breastworks, and captured a number
of prisoners just at nightfall. Although orig-
niiiy a l ug 1 brigade, from details, sickness
and other cruses, it entered the fight with a
liule over 1309 effective men, and lost in
killed and wounded ovor 700. The loss of
>:ii ;ers was very great. Gen. Clayton was
himself struck twice, but not sufficiently in
jured to leave the field, and all the horses of
his si.hIT and couriers were either killed or
wounded.
tVe tike pleasure m recording the gal

ili^y will l>3 found foremost ia the field.

Oct. 5,1803. f
The final contest fur the possession of Ten
nessee is fast approaching, Rosecranz,
aware of the fact, is working night and day
on his fortifications to mako himself secure
in his stronghold, while he is evidently rely
ing on the aid of coming reinforcements to
help him out of the scrape, and to take the
offensive, if they come up ia time. Cut off*
in a minner, from his supplies, except by
hauling them • distance of some 00 miles,
across Walden’s Ridge, and with a los3 of
40 pieces ol artillery and 30,000 muskets, he
is hardly in a condition to make a very
strong defence when it comes to the charge
of the bayonet. Ho Lis l>ecri joined, no
doubt, by Burnside, but tLH addition would
hardly more than make up for his losse3 on
the field of Chicamauga. There h every
reason to believe that reinforccmcul3 arc
coming from either Grant or Meade, and
Gen. Bragg is determined to make an attack
before these forces can come up. We have
already too long delayed, bat I am assured
that we will opon our guns on the enemy's
works tomorrow, when tho struggle for
Chattanooga will commenco. If we are en
abled by our long range guns to shell the
enemy from their works and drive them
bac v , our troops will then advance, while it
may bs that a flank movement will also be
attempted to cut them off. With our caval
ry already in their rear, there is a fine pros
pect of destroying R^secraus’ army, if we
shall bo successful iu forcing him to cross
the Tennessee. Such a victory would coyer
Gen. Bragg with glory, and raise our cause
triumphant in the West.
But do not let our people delude them
selves with ths hope that such a triumph on
our side would be a decisive battle and put
an end to the war. Until the vast majority
of the Northern people are made to ac
knowledge tho wickedaes3 of this Abolition
war, in all its naked deformity, and to fet^
tho iron point of the tyranny aud atrocities
it lia3 produced entering their own souls,
wo shall have no peace. All oppression
commences by sacrificing justice to supposed
expedience, la the language ol' a celebrated
historian, tyranny always speaks, in the first
usurpation of power, in the voice of pru
dence, and points todhe dangers of popular
insurrection; ambition strikes on the chords
of patriotism and loyalty, and leads men to
ruin others in the belief thart they are saving
themsolves; rampant Democracy and Abo
lition fury appeals to the spirit of freedom,
and massacres thousands in the came of in
surgent humanity. Iu all theso cases men
would shrink with horror from themselves
if their conduct appeared in their true colors,
but they become steeped in crime while yet
professing the .mentions of virtue, aud the
philanthropist and humanitarian while ad
vocating the emancipation of the negro, be-
come8'the zealot fiend and infidel murderer.
The moment tho lino of justice is passed,
the criminality of the step leads to the most
frightful atrocities. “ To do evil that good
may come of it»” is not the least prolific
cause of wickednesj. It is absolutely ne
cessary, say the politicians-of one ago, to
check the growing spirit ol heresy ; discord
in this world, damnation in tho next, follow
in its steps -, religion, the fountain of peace,
is in danger of being polluted by its poison;
the transient sufferings of a few individals
will ensure the salvation of■ millions. Such,
says Allison, i3 the language ofc religious in
tolerance, such the principles which- lighted
the fires of Southfield,and he might have add
ed, and tho fires of abolition fanticism. We
can hardly be brought to believe the astound
ing fact, to-day, that already hundreds of
thousands of white men have been slaugh
tered, their bodies maimed and mangled, in
a contest, on the part of Northern abolition
ists, simply to gratify their demoniac fanati
cism in dragging from the happy homes and
contented condition, the poor African ! It
is for. this, that the Yankee infidel abolitlon-
iaf lies unburied to-day, by thousands, on the
battlefield of Chicamauga, and whose bones,
for mkny a day, will lie bleaching on the
banks of the u River of Dea*h !” Can West
ern men be thu3 duped to believe that the
destruction, by hecatomb3, of both the black
and white race, is for the cause of patriotism
and philanthropy, and that these bloody
sacrifices are to bring Liberty to unborn
millions of the human race ? But such has
ever been the reasoning in all ages of revo
lutionary cruelty and despotism. They be
gin with the enthusiasm of philanthropists,
but are sure to end with the bloody rule o!
Robespierre.
This will bo the fate of the North. Until,
therefore, her people cry aloud against this
wicked abomination, for which they are now
deluging onr land with their blood, and the
women of that country, torn by frightful and
distressing calamities,set up ajyail through
out the laud, and cry, Peace! Peace! Peace 1
this war will go on for years without the
hope of foreigu intervention to terminate it.
When our Congress passed the impress
ment act, providing .in what manner only
that grain and other property should be
seized aod appraised, and prohibiting its
seiznre in certain cases where poor families
had only enough com for their support, it
was supposed that outrages in such cases by
onr militaiy would cease. But such ia not
the case, and I say it with deep regret, that
our officers permit their men to rob our poor
citizens of their only support, and go off
without making any remuneration. A poor
woman, carrying her child ia her arms, had
walked teveral miles from her little cottage
horneto headquarters to obtain indemnifies
tion for the com taken from her by some
command ina certain division. She had no
voucher, and was told she must spply to the
commander of the divsion for relief, who
was some three miles further off. Thejwor
woman gave up in despair, saying it was bad
enough to rob her without forcing her to \ mously, and the vote received with loud and
travel all ovor tho country to obtain justice, j re ^f^ e c ^ c ™f ag foUowiI)g , the Major

CO&RESPONDENCE OF THE TELEGRAPH.
ACTION' OF CUMMING’3 SQUADRON.
The offlcers'recently commanding the squad
ron known as Cumming’a Squadron, re
spectfully submit to the public, iu answer to
a publication which appeared in the Macon
Telegraph, of October the 2d, a plain state
ment ol facts which led to Iheir resignation :
This squadran was organized in obedience
to a law of Congress, a proclamation of the
Governor of Georgia, and by order of Adju
tant General Wayne, and especially design
ed for home defence. In obedience to Gen
eral Wayne’s orders, iho squadron marched
to Atlanta.
On the 25th of September, the following
order was received about three o’clock ol
that day:
Headquarters State Troops, \
Atlanta, Ga. \
Mnf f. Jl. Cumminy,
Commanding Squadron :
M a.tor : The Major-General commanding
directs that you place 3 T our command in
marching condition, and on Monday, (the
28th inst.,) take up the line of march lor
Rome, Ga. On your arrival, you will report
to Brig. Gen. Henry R. Jackson, command
ing, &a, for orders.
I am, Major, very truly yours.-
R. B. HALLETT, A. A. A. G.
Quartermasters will be instructed to have
your horses shod. Your Quartermaster will
report at these neadquarters without delay,
to Capt. B. Crane.
At the same time was received the follow
ing order from Mej. Gen. Howell Cobb:
Headquarters State Troops, )
Atlanta, Sept. 35,1863. f
Major: The Major-General commanding
directs that you mase requisition, as soon as
possible, to the Ordnance Department for
the arms and accoutrements necessary to
complete the equipment of your Battalion.
I am, Major,
Very respectfully yours,
HOWELL COBB, A. D. C.
Maj. Commanding Battilioo.
Immediately upon the receipt of these or
ders I directed the adjutant of the squadron
to cause the captains of the lour compani^
to assemble at my quarters, where these or
ders were read to J hem, and they were then
ordered tojhave their companies in marching
order on the morning of the 28th. Major
Cummings immediately repaired to town to
procure the arms and accoutrements for
equipment of battalion. Before leaving for
this duty the whole command were actively
preparing for the march in obedience to or
ders. Up to this time, there was only one
mau who questioned the correctness of the
order, or offered tny opposition to the exe
cution of the same, and he professed a wil
lingness to obey after explanation as far as
the officers heard or knew.
Upon the return of the major after dark
from the city, that officer learned there was
great dissatisfaction iu some of the compa
nies, and that there had been called a moot
ing, and speeches were being m ide to induce
the men to disobey the order of Gen. Cobb,
in which the name of Gen. Cobb was de
nounced as a political trickster and dema
gogue; and that this order was a fraud on
them to take from them their boundaries,
which they had prescribed for themselves,
and ultimately to place them in the Confed
erate service. During the excitement a pro
position was made to the men to stay all
action until Gen. Cobb should be heard.—
This proposit ion was rejected almost unaai.
The-squadron was then dismissed to their
quarters, nnu the Major left for the city to
itpoit to the GcuciaL He met Gen. Cobb
doming to the camp, to whom be reported
the action ol the squadrop. The General
replied he would go and talk to them, and
requested tho squadron being again formed.
The Major thereupon advised tho General
that the minds of the men had been inflamed
against him by speeches made the night be
fore, advising them to fortify their minds
against anything he might say; that he was
an ingenious and artful man, seeking popu
larity rather than his country’s interest, and,
unless they determined from the start to
listen to nothing he might say, they would
likely be persuaded by him to forego their
action of that night! * For these reasons the
Msjor was feqriul he (the General) would be
insulted and refused a hearing. The Gene
ral refused to return, but went immediately
to camp, and did address the squadron.—
But this address produced no effect in
changing tho determination of the meD.
Maj! Cummings, Capt. Lockett, Lieut.
Mahon. Adjr. Coleman and O. F. Adams,
Acting Quartermaster, determined imme
diately to resign their commissions, but were
induced to withhold their resignations until
the next day, by which lima it was believed
the men would reconsider their action and
return to duty. But after the lapse ot
twenty-hair hours they still persisted in their
refusal to obey, when these officers, with
others, did resign, and thereupon tendered
(with twenty of the men mentioned of Co.
A and one of Co. C( their services to Gen.
Cobb to march wherever ho should order
them.
Subsequently to tho resignation of the
officers ot the tquadronAt seems from a pub
lication iu the 'telegraph,a tender was made
of i lie services of those refusing to obey the
order of Geu. Cobb, to thasamo General to
march to any point in the Mate to which
he might order, in which occurs tho follow
ing statement intended to reflect upon the
officers commanding the squadron:
“ Wc. the midersjgned, officers and pri-
va’ . of tho battalion recently commanded
by Major Cummings, respectfully submit to
Major Gen. Cobb, commanding, that wc
have been placed ia a position false to facts,
and unjust 10 ourselves, with reference to
the service which wo arc willing to render
to our country, and that we should seem
ingly have failed to meet this call, ia ascribed
to“iho unfortunate manner in which our
i immediate officer s a enounced to us the order
which took us beyond our limit.”
This statement is a miserable subterfuge.
The order is herewith published. It is clear
and distinct. A child may understand it.
Its communication to the squadron wa3 by
having it first read to*the captains of tho
different companies," and then to the as
sembled squadron.

Richmond, Oct. 5. —Mtgruder’s order,
dated 9th of September, announcing to the
army a brilliant victory at Sabine Pass, has
been received here. He say?: “The result
of this gallant achievement is the capture of
two fine gunboats, fifteen heavy guns, and
over two hundred prisoners, among them
the commander of the fleot. One hundred
and fitly of the enemy have been killed and
wounded, while not a man was lost ou our
‘ side, or guns injured.
The announcement of the London Times
that Mason had notified Russell of hia pur
pose to withdraw from England,isno doubt
correct, as it is understood that instructions
to that effect were sent him last August
when it was ascertained- that the English
Government had a second time rejected the
oveture of Franee for mediation:
Several brokers./ in this.city*were vletim-
.ized about a week or ten days ago, by a
man calling hi nself Livingston, and repre
senting himself a member cf the firm of J
J. North & Co., brokers of Savannah, Ga.
He induced them to sell him gold for
drafts on that firm to the amount of one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. After
securing the gold he fled to parts unknown.
It is believed that 'he embarked for Nassau
from Wilmington. Both his Hands appeared
to be malformed, and one wag worn in a
sling, probably done to prevent identity.
He Was accompanied by several women.
The drafts have been returned protested.
