w&t JAUfiD (. WHITAKER, PBOPBIBTOB. >01151 H. STEELE B'D I T O B . A. E. MARSHA EE, 4KBOCUTK EDITOR AND BEPO HTEB ATLANTA, GEORGIA. Saturday Morning, October 10,11838 RETICENCE. Wo id vile the attention of our cotcmpora- rie8 of the press to the following article, writteu, wc can assure them, by a distin guished officer in our army, who has not been charged during this war —in which he has participated-in many a battle and won laurels that will never fade—with any hos tility tp the press. Hence, wo tiust, the wri ter’s Views will receive that attention and consideration tho important subject upon which he writes, imperatively, ia our judg ment, demands. Having no de^-e, howev er, to bo considered by any one of our co- tomporarics as reading the press a lecture on reticence, especially when that subject i# presented through our columns in a manner moro forcible than wc could present it, and by one who sees more of the necessity of its observance than wo do or can, wc shall not indulge in any further comments, but only call again the attention of our cotempora ries to the following article, and to ask again for it their consideration : For the Intelligencer. RETICENCE. At a time when a single blunder may im peril our national existence, and a single dir aster discourage our people, it surely be hooves the press to be guarded in its revela tions. The Yankees procure our newspa pers just as regularly as we do, and it is not extravagant to say that they have gotten in formation from that source which a large corps of spies could hardly have furnished. In a single paper the writer of this saw an account of tlio manner in which'Brogg was getting cattle from Middle Tennessee, the composition of hi3 army (from which its strength could be readily calculated,) the position of his troops, the arrival of rein forcements, the location ot our cavalry, &c., &c. What more could Rosecrans desire to learn through Li, spies V Would it bo pos sible, In fact, for them to give him such com plete and ample information ? Tho spriglitliness and attractiveness of newspapers may be increased by such army Items, but they aro fatal to our cause. The following things should be carefully excluded from our papers, even at the risk of making them dull, viz : The names of general officers; allusions to corp3, divisions, and brigades; arrival of troops; trausfeiuf the same, their position, strength and composition, movements of cavalry. In short, whatever would interest us In regard to the Yankees will of course Interest them in regard to us, and should be suppressed. * It may be objected that newspapers will then be made very dull, and writers for them and their readers will miss their usual pleas urable excitement. To all such wc would respectfully suggest that a* higher and no bler excitement may be found in the army, and that tho 80,003 muikets taken at Cfiica- mauga have not all, as yet, been issued to our noble volunteers. IN FOB TH E WAR. For the Intc'li^enet'r. COL. LEE’S BATTALION. A Raid in Tennessee—Night Capture—A Chase after Bushwhackers—Captures by Daylight—Mountain Scenery by Moonlight —Camp at Murphy—A Marrow Escape— An Alarm in Camp—lhe Prisoners and Re turn. From Atlanta I proceeded to join Col. cc’s Battalion, which, by way of compli ment to their bravery and many hard-won battle-fields and wounds which will carry their names forward to future generations, is called the “Broken-legged” Battalion, I found Headquarters at Dahloncga, where I reported myself. Col. Lee is a courteous gentleman, clear-headed, judicious leader and an agreeable compauion. The gentle men of his stall' are a truly select company, among whom any one cannot fail to be agree ably situated, In a few days we moved to Morgamon, a distance of thirty-six miles. On the way we crossed tho Blue Ridge, luxurating in mag nificent scenery from its lofty summit. From Morganton a small party of us, under com mand of CapL Averhart, were ordered to proceod northward and join Capt. John C. Hendrix’s cavalry in the mountains of the fliwassee. We were ordered to leave at dark and march all night, keeping a strict lookoot for bushwhackers and freebooters on the way. The moon shown beautifully, nud the shining waters made soft music us their ripples rose on the stillness of night. — We called at nearly every house, but all the men had fled to the mountains. Lee’s caval ry had alarmed their guilty soul?, and per sonal safety had prompted their flight. At a distance of about fifteen miles from Morgan ton, and at the hour of midnight,*a few men, under command of Lieut. W. II. Paxton, proceeded very quietly to the house of a no torious bushwhacker, who was caught “nap ping. Two others were soon caught ia the adjacent houses, and all three bound and sent back to Morgantown in care of Chap lain Garrison. Nothing of special interest occurred after this till we joined Capt. Hen drix on the banks of the beautiful Hiwassee. Wa found the Captain and his command in fine spirits, and received a cordial greeting. The whole force were now eu route for Tili- co Plains, where we were informed the no torious Bryson and about two hundred of Ills followers were engaged in killing a govern ment beef they had stolen. LieuL Paxton and myself were riding a few miles in ad vance Of the main force, when we suddenly came upon a squad of ten or twelve of Bri- son's men halted to feed. The lieutenant remained to watch their advance, and in a short time Capt Hendrix, Capt Young and a few more were upon them. They attempted to escape with their hoises, but a few shots put them to flight in every direction; over hills and through ravines, where pursuit was useless, we cap tured their horses and hurried on. About 1 o’clock P. M. we reached their camp at Tilico Plains, which they had left one hour before. We now put our horses to the top of their speed, for four or five miles, where the roads forked, and we halted-to ascertain the way. The pursuit was renewed immediately, and in about twenty minutes the rear of the enemy was overtaken. Some were shot from their horses, others leaped off and hid themselves in the impenetrable thickefi while those better mounted made' their escape. The chase lasted about an hour, and resulted iu the capture of a number of good horses and some fourteen prisoners, of whom it is but just to state C. W. Lewis, ol Capt. Hendrix's company, captured five and took their arms aud horses. After resting a short time, aud getting a little refreshments, we set out, prisoners and all, to pass over Tilico Mountains. In a few minutes all signs of civilization were lost. The beautiful and fertile plains wore left behind us, Nature in all her wild gran- duer around us, and again the soft moon light fell upon the war path of the tired and hungry soldier. Sometimes our route lay along the tangled ravine, pathless and wild, and sometimes up the ragged cliffs, on a path so narrow that a goat would almost tremble to follow. Upon one band yawned the awful precipice, hundreds of test below, while on the ilher towered the shaddowy and ten in’less mountains. But when day light c un , and we all stood upon the sum mit o( “ old Bald,” (for such is the name of the tallest mountain over which we passed,) sore feet, aching joints, craving stomachs, weary limbs, sore backed jaded horses; all • all were forgotten for tho time, in (easting upon the unsurpassed loveliness and gran deur of the landscape before us. One thought only marred the ravishing vision. Freebooters, outlaws, deserters and tones, dwelt in every valley, and Infested the glens where sunlight never falls. How a mortal born amid such glories of Nature, could shrink from the banner of freedom, is hard to conceive; but so it is; truth is strang er than fiction. _ From this lofly eminence, wc descended towards the once pleasaut. town of Murphy, N. C., where we stopped for a little rest, having been for nearly forty eight hours in the 3addle, during which time we'eat but two meals. The town is nearly serted on account of the thieving raids of the bushwhackers. In fact, there is no se curity in all this region for either life or property. My friend was shot at and liis horse wounded within hall’ a mile of the Court House, by a bushwhacker. About sundown one evening, Capt. Hen drix received information that an attack would be made upon us by daylight, by a fofco four hundred strong. Everybody was ordered into line, strong detachments placed at the bridges, and pickets posted on all the approaches to the town. About midnight the picket on the Duck Town road came flying in with the alarm that the enemy was upon us, A reconnoitering party under Lieut. Paxton, proceeded in that direction several miles, and making no discovery re turned, and we, like Pane in the ship, waited all night wishing for the day. When day came, we were ail willing to bid adieu “To the land where tte clouds lore fo rett L'ka the shroud of the d^ad on the mountain's cold b «ut Where to the cataract’s roar the eagles reply, Arjd the'r lone bosom) the lakelets expand to the iky.’ ‘ Thus closed a raid which will ever be re membered by tbos 3 engaged in it, as one of the most laborious, industrious, and in some reaped s, as successful and daring as any during the war. And I will here remark that every disloyal man we captured, is op posed to Joe Brown. DION. Morgantown, Ga., Sspt. 28,1863. to pay the cost, and grate tor-incurring the cost, to a prize. This, we say, is not merel t view: it is the economic, stoe net* lending, the meanest that can be taken of the subje have not yet met any person _ and forethought who does not regard our financial condition in that light. Yet the very men who know and acknowledge all this are obliged to demand a ten or fifteen- fold price for everything they sell owing to depreciation of the ewrency—are obliged to demand it, because they have thelnselves to pay a ten-fold or twenty-fold price for every thing they buy. Who will get us out of this vicious circle V What financial magician will disenchant ©ur money for us, save it from turning, within our very hands, into that “fairy money” in which the Devil pays (ac cording to German legends,) tor Dutchmen’s souls?'' What seems still more unnatural aud in credible than all the rest, is that this paper money of ours i3 actually of mo^yalue in the eyes of strangers and enr our own. In Wall street, N seem to have more confiieuc ity of our government and t currency than upon Maine str We can sell Confederate bone it appears, for three times the get at home. We read— ‘“The Mobile Register agent of the Atlantic Steamslii of that city, that he had just rece as late as the 18th August, from in which ho is advised of the sale of Con federate 8 per cent, bonds at 85 cts.. and that 88 had been offered and refused for a large amount belonging to the company.” This is a state of things absolutely mon strous; not paralleled, we believe, in any land or any age. While wc seem bent on pulling down our own credit aud decrying our own currency and our own cause, Eng lishmen, nay the very Yankees refuse to take our low estimate of our affairs, and bid us be of good cheer. Perhaps, tnere is no effectu il remedy ; there is far too much money in the country, three times as much a3 it ‘can possibly bear,’ and more and more continually issuing from the inexorable printing press of Mr. Mem minger. “Confederate Societies,” such ns they aro organizing in various cities, aud county organizations, such as those which we have heretofore commended, may, how ever, do much good by enlightening and concentrating public opinion, sustaining con fidence, preventing panic, and counteract ing the interested representations of specu lators. the pany, letters ivepool, • the^debtetniss of the north. In addressing the great Democratic gath ering at Philadelphia, on the 1st inst, Col. J. Ross Snowden, late director of the United States mint, made some curious statements showing the magnitude of tho financial operations of the Federal Government, as follows: , The national debt—what is it now 'V ho can tell* An official statement recently published says that it amounted on the oOth of June last to one thousand one hundred and ninety-seven millions two hundred and seventy-four thousand three hundred and sixty-six dollars. It consists of the lollowmg classes of obligations: Four percents $ ljn ^97639 Kce^r:::::::;:::::::: Seven and three-tenths per cents. 189.920,500 Debt not bearing interest d9b,7*i,uo< .$1,197,274,360 Total... But this frightful sum total does not in clude all the liabilities of the Government, see in the newspapers of the day other From the Richmond Enquirer. VALUE OF CONFEDERATE MONEY. If a man were induced, or compelled, to hoard ten thousand dollars of paper money for five years—to bury it in the earth for that length of time—would he choose “ green backs,” or Confederate bills and bonds ?— Which of these two specif s of securities will be worth money ia five years ? It is only another form of asking—Will the Yankee nation succeed, or will itfail, in the effort to conquer and confiscate our country V If they are to succeed, their green backs are good money and our Confederate piper good only for lighting our pipes—if tiiey are to fail, then they must repudiate their whole war debt, and their green bills are les3 precious than the leavesof the tiees, while our debt, incurred for the redemption of a great country, and guarantied by the government of a wealthy, proud and pros perous young nation, will always be worth ils denomination in coined gold. Now which of these two events is likely to take place ? Is this Confederacy to be subdued ? Or is the Yankee nation to go into bank ruptcy? Wc do not put it to the reader’s patriotism—we appeal to his common sense only. AVe suppose a man diiccted (let us say) by the will of a whimsical testator, to bury ten thousand dollars in paper money for five years, without restriction as to wuich of the two currencies he will select for his hoard; and we suppose him absolutely in- differeat as to the fate and fortunes of either country, desirous only of oue thiDg—to dig up his money in gold after live years. \Y e do not believe that any reosonable person, capable of calm judgment, would hesitate (or one moment. He'would hoard the Confederate paper. It ho had in hi9 hands ten thousand dollars in Yankee pa per he would buy Confederate bills with them—aud he could get forty thousand of them for the ten—would have thirty thous and^ spend merrily, would bury ten thou sand and would dig them up after ten years —worth more, by forty per cent, than his original (imd of ten thousand greenbacks. He would choose, not because be is a pa triot, but because {ex hypothesi) ho is not a fool. He knows that the nation will never own these lands of ours to secure their debt upon, and consequently that we, the Coniederates, wilt own them and have and hold them to us and our heirs forever, with all their boundless resources, with the un fettered and triumphant industrial system which can soamply develope those resources The Yankee Army op tse Potomac.— It is evident that the Yankee army of the Potomac is not in a condition to take the field. It is believed that it has largely rein forced Rosecrans, and that it is only threat ening in order to conceal its weakness. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Times assures his readers that its days are numbered. No more long marches, it says, no more fatiguing campaigns; no more sanguinary battles; no more thinning of ranks to rein force the great army ot the slain; no more jealous rivalry for the leadership; no more political warring and conspiracy; no more victories or defeats—the record is made up. There only waits to be written the account of the death struggle, and the history of the proud and great Army of the Potomac is complete. The ambition that has at one time and another inspired its successive chieftains; the relative merits of Scott, M<£ Clellan, Pope, Burnside, Hooker and Meade, its different leaders; the true and authentic account of its unparalleled campaigns, sep arated from party bias and political purpose leading to the exaggeration ot this or the concealment of that important fact; the calm judgment bf impartial witnesses a3 to the balance of advantage gained or lost in different battles, and the merits of different plans adopted, one after the other, for the attainment of the same end by different cap tains—all this, and much more, is yet to en gage the pen of the historian, and the future will do justice to each and all of the gener als whose names have been prominent in connection with the operations of this army. This is not yet the time to pass judgment, or to attempt to arrive at the facts in regard to those interesting yet troubled points. The power and influence of the army for good has been wasted by ambitiou i and political jealousy, and the object for which it was created has been lo3t through the machina tions of designing politicians. Now, what is to become of the army of the Potomac ? Ju3t here I will drop the subject Circumstances over which I have no control forbid that t should enlarge upon this subject. Other correspondents have announced that all the Western troops have withdrawn from this army. Tho announco- ment has also been made that we were about falling back into tho defences of Washing- tod. These statements have appeared in papers having a pseudo connection with the administration. You m ty take them for what they are worth. I will only say that we are still on the Rappahannock, but that our fighting daycare all fold. I verily be lieve that the army of the Potomac wiil nev er fight another battle. How Britih Iron Clads ars Mads.— The London Times gives a description of the iron clad turreted ships now building in the British navy, accompanied by a com parison between them and the Yankee iron clad Keokuk, destroyed by us in Charleston harbor. The English have adopted some thing of the same principle upon which that vessel was constructed, as their turrets are partly iron and partly wood. The Times says: From the inner skin of the turret, formed of half-inch boiler, plate, will project out wards iron ribs T shaped, ten inches in length and twenty inches apart, the spaces between these ribs being filled in solid with teak. Round the outer circumference ot this combination of teak and iron rib? is a crossed trellis work of three quarters of an inch of iron, and on this trelliswork, and through all and outside all, is bolted eight inches of solid teak. Outside of this there arc to be laid solid five and a half-inch rolled plates, and between the two ports a four and a half-inch rolled plate, so that in the section of the turret’s circumference which will be exposed to the shot of an enemy, the defensive powers of the turret will consist of, from outwards, ten and a half inches of iron, three and a half inches of teak, five inches of three quarter inch iron trellis work, ten inch iron T shaped iron ribs, filled in with teak, and the inner iron skiu. The side armor of the ship is five inches, supported behind by three feet of solid' timber, whfrh is strengthened and supported iu its tur 4 ^ alternate wood and rolled iron beams, placed at one-half the usual distance apart, to each of which iron knees of great weight are attached, and by the crossed diagonal iron banding over the inner skin of the ship. A ring of tempered armor platiDg surrounds each turret at its base. The ship, which is called the Royal Sovereign, is to carry four turrets, one with two three hundred pound smooth bore guns, the others each with two of smaller dimen sions. This is a formidable vessel of war, but its great draught will prevent it being used for war purposes, except in an open items mentioned, namely: U nited States cer tificates of indebtedness; quartermasters vouchers. These and many other items constitute a floating debt, most of which is not embraced in the above financial state ment. , ■ ■ . Some idea-of the magnitude of the busi ness of settling army paymaster’s accounts maj' be inferred from the fact that over one hundred and fifty clerks are employed upon them at the office of the second auditor ; yet with all this forc3, there is a year and a hall’s accumulations of accounts and claims in that office. If we add to the above statement all the liabilities incurred for war purposes since the 30lh of June, and claims for damages, pensions, bounties, etc., etc. wo will not over state the total liabilities of the United States at tho present time at two thousand millions of dollars. Pennsylvania is about one-tenth of the “ Union as it was.” Her proportion of the national debt is therefore two hundred mill ions of dollars. But if we impoverish aud destroy tbe South, depopulate her cities, her towns and her plantations, the proportion of the debt to Pennsylvania wilt increased fifty pet* cent; making her liabilities for the war four hundred millions of dollars. The expenses of the General Government, for all purposes, at the present time, exesed two millions of dollars per day, that is at the rate of seven hundred million dollars per annum. The internal revenue tax now lev ied is estimated at one hundred and fifty millions dollars. It is very doubtful wheth er that amount will be collected ; but whetli er it is or not, these figures wit) show wliat an immense increase every month and ev ery year of war will make to the above men tioned enormous amount of liabilities. The debt is now represented by a mere promise to pay, but it is payable in mone,\ which the Constitution recognizes to be gold and silver. It will increase our understand ing of the amount of the money I have named when we consider the weight of these amounts in gold and silver. The debt is now say, two thousautl millions of dollars; tlm, iu gold coin of the Unit* d States would weigh three thousand eight hundred and seventy-five tuns. A tun of gold weighs about 3,683 pounds. To move this amount on an ordinary road would require 3,885 horses, or 921 wagons with 4 horses. - Silver weighs about fifteen times as much as gold. It.would, therefore, require a greater.force, in that proportion, to move the above amount if estimated in that metal. How much these amounts would weigh in paper, which has no intrinsic value, I have no means of cal culating. The valuation of the properly, real and personal, in Pennsylvania, as fixed by the revenue board of 1883, is five hundred and ninety-six millions of dollars. The aseer tained and registered debt ot the United States on the 30th of June last, alone, with out reference to other debts aud liaoilities, is nearly twice as great as the whole value of the assessed property in the Common wealth ! If we include the estimated debts before referred to, including claims for dam ages, &e., &c., we then have a debt more than four times the value of the property of all kinds in Pennsylvania, a3 returned by the As ; essors to the county commissioners. This comparison also will assist us to form some adequate idea of the magnitude of the national debt. Again, Boston, in proportion to her pop ulation is the richest city in the United States. The total wealth of that city, a9 re cently valued by the assessors, is three hun dred and two millions of dollars. The whole wealth of that city will not pay the expenses of the Government for much more than one hundred days. the unconcjuerable determination to die or to be free. The iron has entered their souls, and made every man, woman and child a hero. AVe may take it for granted there is no speculation—no hoarding for higher prices —no skulking or desertion in that country. Every man aud woman is fighting and la boring for liberty as something dearer than life itself. The conditions of the dreadful struggle seem to us impossible. Poland must again sink more hopelessly crushed than ever under a foreign yoke.' Bat as desper ate as are the chances, we believe there are very • lew croakers and prophets of evil among the Poles. They have counted the cost, and made up tueir minds to the sacri fice. In the face ot such a spectacle as this, do not our own conduct and achievements ap pear almost trilling? If the Poles do not despair, should we ever doubt? If they have a possibility of success, have we a possibility of failure, outside of a lack ot spirit aud en ergy absolutely disgraceful lo us as a peo ple ? If we had been ground down by op pression as the Poles have been, and as we cjriainly shall be, should tho North bringhis under its yoke,the spirit of the people would laugh to icorn the possibility of failure— -would show iu a month that subjugation by the North is a physical impossibility. With the lire and patriotism of the Poles, we should have had peace and independence two years ago.—Macon Td. ATHENAEUM. itl&RRIEO N?ar Rome. G .orgia, on the evcn’ng of the 7.h, ins„, b/Rev.

Telegraphic ad vices report a great victory at Ivanow, bnt on which side, it is not stated.” The foregoing is an item of foreign news copied from Northern papers of the 9th in stant, which contain European continental dates to the 94th Aug. It reveals the fact that alter a sanguinary contest of six monilis’ duration, the Polish revolution still rears its form, erect aud defiant, against the gigantic power of Russia. Let us for a moment glance at the relative power and resources of the belligerents.— Poland has an area of 48,000 square miles— or ten thousand square miles less than the single State of Georgia. Her population, in round numbers, is live millions, and the rev olution found them without military organ ization—with few arms—and with pecunia ry resources absolutely less than those of the State of Georgia. Russia, on the other hand, boasts an area, exclusive of Poland, ol over two million square miles—a popu lation of over sixty millions, a regular army of seven hundred thousand men, with mili tary appointments equal to those of any na tion on the face of the earth. We, in the South, groan over the disparity in material strength between ourselves aud the Lincoln despotism; but what is this dis parity compared with that between Poland and Russia? The North, we say, outnum bers us 3 to 1. Russia outnumbers Poland 10 to 1' Lincoln, with all his absolutism, cannot avail himself of the full military strcagt'i of the North. The Russian auto crat can put half his millions in the army. The North Isas a regular force of 15,0JO. Russia has a regular force of 709,000. We have yet a country cf 600,000 square miles, difficult of access by an enemy—necessita ting long and hazardous lines of communi- catiem—affording very inadequate means ol oubsistance to the foe—more or less unheal thy and impassable during a greater part ot the year—abounding in positions of great natural aptitude for defense. Poland, upon the other hand, is shut up in a territory near ly a fifth smaller than Georgia alone, dense ly populated, and ail the elements of supply as accessible to foe as to friend. But perhaps you think aa inac cessible country-surrounded by high moun tain ranges, wiih a few and easily defensible passes. 'Not so. Sbc has no natural car riers whatever, and may be Pounced a comparatively level country. Furthermore, a "Teat railway runs from the capital of N sla directly through her territory How, then, has she been able so long to baffle the designs of her gigantic oppressor'.
