ATLANTA, Q-EOROIA.
Thor*lay Mmiag, October 15, IMS
Our correspondent, Mr. Thomas Srr-
dku, will have to pardon us lor nof considei-
iag his favor as “ strictly confidential” We
cannot keep from our readers what so deep
ly interests them as a conspiracy on the part
of the bovine race to “ kick over the milk
pails," in revenge for being deprived of
“shucks," to which thjy claim a legitimate
right.
ATROCIOUS ACT OF INCKNDIAKISM
The “ Dent Mills" about eight miles from
Newnan, in the County of Coweta, the finest
iu that section of the country, with a large
amount of wheat* and corn, owned in this
city by Dr. J. A. Taylor, Col. G. W. Lee, J
T. Porter, £*q., and.Capt. J. C. Hendrix
valued at $25,000, was set fire to by sum
rascally incendiary one night last week, and
burned to .the ground, nothing being saved
from the ft tines. Suspicion, we learn, rests
upon a party residing in that vicinity as the
iucendiary who set fire to these valuable
mills, and we trust that soon sneb evidence
will be brought forward as will cause his
arreit aud prompt conviction and punish
meat. The loss of our fellow citizens, the
owners of these mills, is great, as there was
no insurance upon them, but the loss to a
neighborhood of some mile; in circurafer
cnce, which depended upon them for bread,
can hardly bo estimated. May the perpe
trator of this daring act of incendiarism soon
meet his reward.
“THE BUGLE HOBM OF LIB RET if.”
In our paper of to-day, two articles appear,
one over the signature of the Editor of the
•‘Bugle H >rn of Liberty,” a pictorial month
ly published in Griffin, and the other over
the signature of “Obsrrvrh;” the former ex
plaining and justifying himself and his pub
lication, while the latter relates the inci
dents that have made such explanation and
justification necessary. Wo should not no
tice editorially either one of these commuui-
catious, but for the fact that on yesterday, a
short paragraph appeared in this paper com
plimentary of the enterprise of Mr. Swayze,
the Editor. not having noticed hi i pictorial
"satires" Having his attention, however,
called to them,he is constrained to say that he
is not at all surprised at the indignation they
caused among the soldiers at Griffin, in his
judgment they being in .bad taste, and not
withstanding the license usually granted the
salirif t, ai it is to poets, the Editor, Mr.
Swayze, had better have selected Some Yan
kee General for his satire, than the iUnstii
ous John Morgan upon whom the affections
of our soldiers and all loyal citizens arc so
deeply centred
COMMUNICATED.
Ala Editor: l found the following re
markable manuscript the other day wear the
Walton Spring, in Atlanta. The ground
thereabouts appeared much trodden and er for the Yankee prisoners.
FRANCE AND THETONFEDERATE STATES
The following important information is
obtained from the Richmond Examiner oi
the 10th inst., and will bo read with the
most lively emotions:
The Vicomte do St. Remain has beou sent
by the French government to ours to nego
tiate for the exportation of the tobacco
bought for France by the French agents
The Confederate States government has
at last consented to allow the tobacco to
leave the country, provided the French gov
ernment will send its own vessels for it.
The latter mil send French ship3 accompa
nied by armed convoys.
To this the U id ted States Government ob
jects in tolo.
'Vicomte de SL Romain is now making his
way to New York to send the result of his
mission through the French consul, to the
Emperor.
The Ftench frigates in New .York are
there on this errand.
Tho relations between France and the
Confederate States have long been growing
more interesting, and now the acme of all
our hopes aeem9 about to be attained by(a
direct issue between the French and United
States Governments. The Confederate
States have consented that the French may
take away the tobacco which was purchased
by French agents on account of the govern
ment ; that government has determined to
take the tobacco away.by convoys of armed
vessels; and the United States are opposed
in toto to the whole arrangement! Could
anything be more Itmely ? We might have
expected the United States to object; for if
she consents that France shall take away the
tobacco purchased for her government she
will have likewise to consent that England
shall take away the cotton that has been
(►ought by her people; and thus there would
at once be an end of all blockade of our
ports.
Another portion of the extract intones us
that Vicomte de St. Romain is now making
his way to New York to send the result of
his mission, through the French consul, to
the Emperor. All this looks very much like
the French Emperor kad reached a definite
conclusion, to which he meaut to adhere,
aud that his agent in this negotiation with
the Confederate States asks no favors of
Lincoln, not even to return to France, but
makes his own way out of the Confederacy
when the result of his mission had been ob
tained. We shall be greatly disappointed if
something good does not come from France
and that right early.
THE LATE ACCIDENT AT THE OVEttTON HO
TEL IN NASHVILLE.
At the lute accideut in Nashville when oue
hundred Confederate prisoners were precip
itated dowu two sets of flooring by the stair
way giving way, the following are the names
of Georgians injured:

testified to his great skill, which the stub
bornness of the diseases, however, always
unfortunately baffled. Madam Hornet sug

torn up, as if done by Indignant cattle:
PUBLIC MEETING IN ATLANTA."
» Oa the 1st day of October, a l§rge.acd
respectable portion of the milk cows of At
lanta assembled in the Walton Spring-Grove
to express their feelings in relation to the
recent detestable practice of manufacturing
head gear 'for women and children, out of
their favorite provender,5 commonly known
as shocks. >
Madam Brindle was called* to the Chair,
aud Madam Whitcy was chosen Secretary.
The Chairman ’explained the nature of tho
grievances which impelled the meeting, and
were so well calculated to excite the indig
nant bellowiugs of the whole bovine ritcev
She was proud to say that she had taken ah
active part to being about this meeting, being
incited thereto by the daily observation of
the large quantities of shucks wasted by her
mistress in the nefarious business. Now
said she, when war and want stalk over the
land—now, when the defection in our awta
ish population has .devolved on onr over
tasked adders the duty of nourishing the
swarms of children who seem not to de
crease with the growing scarcity of their
father^—U is a shameful, misapplication of
our proper provender to waste delicious
shucks in making faucy hats for the ungrate
ful human race. We stood idly by and saw
last year’s shuck crop perverted in this way
and felt the aching void in each one of our
quadruple, stomachs. Now that the new
shuck crop j ; about to come in, we must
have this grievance redressed or lock horns
with our tyrauuical oppressors iu a struggle
f >r our e mimissarial rights.
Crumpled-Horn rose to introduce some
resrluti >113, which she remarked she had
been ruminating over - for several days.—
The crisis is (said she) one of great and
specific gravity—no less weighty than seve
ral tons of the finest provender about to be
wasted to hide tnc natural bareness of muly
headed brats. We can sympathize with them
in being deprived by nature of that splendid
ornament of horns with which our favored
race is blessed, but the human race teaches
us by their example to lavish onr sympathy
the most where it costs the least, and we
cannot afford to give up our cods to accom-
commodate these hornless creatures with
head-gear.” The distinguished oratrix was
here interrupted by a large red cow without
horns, who advanced bellowing and pawing
the earth, exclaiming, “ I came here in good
faith to discuss our grievances, and am as
tonished that any one of our assembly should
be found rude enough to insult that most re
spectable portion of tho bovine race, who
are proud to have been born without the
troublesome excrescence of horns, and glory
in the appellation of muly-headed Surely
Madam Crumpled-Horn must have been
studying manners among the employees of
the military offices of the city, or among the
underlings of the Express Company, to have
acquired so much uncalled for impertinence.
Madam Chairman, she is as arrogant as a
stall-fed quartermaster, grown fat on public
plunder. Perhaps she belongs to one." By
this time Madam Crumpled-Horn also low
ered her boros and they advanced on each
other, but so very deliberately, that their
friends saw what they wished, and had abun
dant time to interpose and prevent a “ diffi
culty.” The affair was soon “honorably
adjusted,” but not without much du9t being
k eked up, and the ground much pawed.
Little-Red Cozzen Don remarked that she
had fatigued her hoofs with walking several
miles from her country place to be present
at the meeting, and she hoped something
more useful than getting up brawls would be
accomplished. She had escaped many per
ils on the way, having been chased success
ively by three butchers and two tanners,
narrowly escaping with her life. And when
out of breath, being fat and short-windc d,
she had been slyly driven into four back lots
iu the suburbs of the city, in succession, and
stripped” of her last drop of milk for
liospit il purposes.” She was really afraid
to return a^onc. To borrow a fashionable
phrase iu our commissary reports, she would
be “ lost in transitu.
Madam Yellow suggested that it any of
their number should be subjected to any
species ot false imprisonment, or the slight
est abridgement of personal liberty, she coaid
recommend them to a very talented young
lawyer who had put iu L a substitute, and pa
triotically remaiued at home solely, to pro
tect ibe rights of a free people by writ of
hat>cas corpus.
Madam Hornet staled that she relied on
hetself for protection. As she came thro’
the city to this meeting, she was halted at
every street corner by a brace of soldiers,
who demanded her passport: but a single
longe wilh her horns sent them scamper
ing, and she had made her way hither with
out any favors ^om the Provost Marshal's
office. She met a nurse yesterday, with a
child wli03c head was so overspread by the
umbrageous profusion ot. an elaborately
trimmed shuck hat, that she made a hungry
grab at the bulk, supposing the nurse had
merely an aruiful of split shucks on her way
to the matt res; maker. She was astonished
al the cries of the infant iu her throat just
m time to avoid swallowing the whole bulk.
She regretted she did not devour child, hat
and alL She had already eaten np three
straw hats belonging to the schoolboys in
her neighborhood, and had chased the stout
schoolmaster, who wears one, a long dist
ance, at as severe a doable quick as he had
escaped by keeping out ot the army.
The whole assembly was here thrown in
to commotion by a physician who galloped
through their midst on bis way to visit a pa
tient. The Chairman gravely remarked Inal
the circumstance portended a funeral. Her
mistress had enjoyed the benefit of the sci
entific skill of this renowned master of tbe
healing art in ajecent attack of gastro enteri
tis complicated with hepatitis. He could
have saved her life if she could have awal.
lowed a low more doses ot hydrargyri sub-
murias. Many others here spoke up and
Madam Crumpled Horn now brought for
ward her resolutions, which were as fol
lows:
Resolved, 1. "That all the shuek crop is
onrs.
3, That we cat up all shuck hats aud caps
and also the chileren wearing them.
3. That we kick over the milk pail until
we get indemnify for the past and security
fortheiatnre.
As the vote was about to be taken upon
Mitse resolutions, the assembly was astouu
fled by the sudden rush of a file of soldiers,
led on by one of the government seizing of
ficers. A stampede instantly took p’ace.—
Madam Hornet set her boros and charged
valiantly in the direction of the officer, who
took to his heels, and the whole herd follow
ing in her wake, luckily escaped. .
The last seen ot them as they disappeared
over the hill, one of the soldiers was hold
ing on to the galloping Chairmau’s tail illus
trating the attitude of wilch Nannie as she
swung ou to the tail of Tam O’Shanter’s
mare.
By order of the Chairman, bellowed back
at this crisis, another meeting is convoked
at the same place .for the 1st of November
next.
WHITE Y WIIYLAND, Sec.”
Mr. E lilor be sure to regard this as ‘strict
ly confidential.’
TOBIAS SPYDER.
A VINDICATION.
Editor Intelligencer :
Will you ftllowjmcspace in jour columus
to vindicate myself from the uDjust accusa
tions that have been made against me, as
Editor of the “Bugle Horn of filter ty," and
which, I regret to say, have been used to
excite the convalescent soldiers iu the hospi
tals at Griftio, and to induce them, under an
erroneous impression, to maltreat me per
sonally.
The last number of the^Bugle Horn" con
tains a satire on the style of illustration
adopted by some of our self styled illustrated
newspapers, in which, the career of the great
Partisan warrior,; John Morffan, is taken
and comically illustrated as a burlesque ou
slender efforts of other journals to present
tasteful illustrations of passing events.
I wish emphatically to deny any intention
to disparage the brilliant fame of our patriot
soldier, whom I have always regarded as one
of the best soldiers and most gullent men iu
the Confederacy; and had I entertained the
slightest idea that the innocent joke con
tained in the article in question could have
been perveitcd as it has been, to mislead the
unwary, and to prejudice me, I should cer
tainly have excluded it.
I do not doubt that calm reflection on the
part of the brave men who were induced to
misapprehend my purpose, and therefore to
assail me, will lead them to take a more just
view of the subject which has been made tho
occasion to do me great wrong.
Respectfully yours,
J. C. SWAYZE.
Atlanta, Oct. 13,1863.

RODE ON A BAIL!
Mr. Elitors: This morning just as the
9 o’clock passenger train had left the depot,
everybody, as usual, were collected at the
post office, awaiting the openieg of the
mails.
In a moment the. attention of the crowd
was attracted at a body of about a hundred
soldiers (being convalescents in the hospit
al at this place) rushing at lull speed to
wards the post office, yel ing as it they were
ordered tb charge a Yankee battery. The
victim (one Swayze) soon suspected his
fate and fled like a turkey. On the mob pur
sued and soon overtook their prey,
and as quick mounted him upon
wooden horse—rather sharp edged however
—and immediately proceeded up Hill Str.,
thence to Solomon—a procession o! at least
a thousand following laughing andjexpress-
ing their merriment and perfect approbation
in various ways. Here.the rider halted his
mules for the purpose of receiving a coat of
“Tar and Feathers” at the hands of Lis ev
er faithful animals, already prepared in an
ticipation of this distinguished visit. Now
was the exciting, as well as the most, amus
ing time, “Put it on him! Put it ou him !”
was the cry of the infuriated mob, while one
or two, more humane, Surgeons, thinking
that we hail had fun enough, remonstrated
against the additional parcel of clothing.—
The soldiers being compelled io obey the
orders of their superiors desisted, but not
without amusing themselves by compelling
the outraged (?) Swayze to give repeated
“Three cheers for John Morgan and the
Surgeons in Griffin” waving his hat over
his head as he did.
The cause of this airing was a smutty ar
ticle relating to the impressment of private
houses in this place tor the lady nurses of the
hospitals, somewhat insinuating upon the
modesty of the surgeons, and they were de
termined not to let such pasi unnoticed;
also, a piece rather iarcastic about one illus
trious John Morgan, which appeared in the
“ Bugle Horn of Liberty,” a monthly paper
published here, of which Mr. Swayze is the
editor.
The soldiers engaged iu this were mostly
Tennesseeans and Kentuckians. They all
ali swear Swayze has “ gone up a spout”—
done riding mules in this country, (unless he
leaves,) and that he must “ Mow his Bugle
Horn somewhere else." We have read and
heard of such proceedings before, hot never
saw them. OBSERVER.
Griffin, Oct. 13,1853

of silver shall be called a dollar, and be re
ceived as such, or why a piece of gold, not
much iarger, shall pass lor twenty dollars, is
all arbitrary, until fixed by law and accept
ed by common consent A Bank note or a
Confederate Treasury note has its value set
tied in the same way, and is only worth
what it purport* to be so long as tho com
mon consent of the people accept it as such.
There is no inherent intrinsic value m the
♦ping itself, to settle definitely this question,
and it stands or falls with the sentiment ot
the people. Witness the shinplaster currency.
To-day it is good, goes at one hundred
cents to the dollar—to morrow it is proscrib
ed and worthless. Now, the question comes
up Why should there be such a depreciation
oi the Confederate issues as to make what
purports to be ten dollars, only worth one,
commercially ? Could we not,. by concert,
iust as well resolve that it shall pins toi- its
full face,and be equal to gold in its purchases
and is it practicable, common general con
sent, to do so ? This is the question here
proposed lor consideration.
, 1 By what rule is the conclusion reached
299 that Confederate notes shall pass in the pur-
108 chase of property at only one-tenth ot tneir
333 nominated value, aud how long, by the same
45 I ami ran of reasoning, before it is decided that
126
337
126
25
1
63
, course of reasoning,
15 they arc worth one-twentieth or nutmeg at
346 all? Thus by concessions, you are bank
19 rupting your goyernwent., by a repudiation
31 of its currency. lie who refuses to receive
31 these notes in the payment ot his dues is de-
166 nounced aud called disloyal, while the whole
102 country have consented to depreciate their
43 I value, by asking five, ten or twenty times as
32 I much lor all the marketable articles as wou.d
00 be demanded in gold or silver. Thus the
75 principle is yielded, and unless arrested and
116 remedied,the whole concern must be blown
253 j up. 4l ,
It may not so much concern those who
have filled their coffers, or the monopolist
who controls articles indispensable to ota-
ers, or it may be bearable to him who has
commodities enough for sstle to be equivalent
for his purchases. But what becomes of the
12 poor, who have nothing to sell aud all to buy i
162 What ol'the soldier w ith his eleven dollars
141 per month? Have these dollars grown into
119 tens? Nay, but they have become equiva-
93 lent in purchasing bacon, salt, sugar and
93 j clothing for his lamily, to about one, or less.
83 I And what of non-producers generally, who
11 I are thrown upon the market to buy itie ne
331 I cessaries of life? And wliatot the expenses
H of the Government, which must pay ten dol-
42 lars to procure supplies which could have
52 I been purchased before the war for one. To
185 what an enormous expense are we—you —1,
74 and all tax payers, subjecting ourselvts; lor
143 I we, after all, must the bill. Yes, the
50 J Government —we, the people—are to pay the
12 debt. And is this thing growing any bettei?
234 I flas it in itself any ot tliu elements of cure
125 or rather, is it not getting worse every day ‘
20 J Have we not rim lar enough in this phantom
35 I chase after high prices? It is lime, at least,-
128 I to think and confer.
05 We cannot say, udih our present lights
64 I how far the p?oposeiWHhject i-t practicable
39 We have no expectation to find here a pan-
93 acea for all our ills. The law of supply and
69 demand must to some extent control, and if
202 left to these, high prices must rule. Yet, by
151 conference, mutual helps and encourage-
43 ments, maybe developed. It will not do to
51 shut our eyes or turn our backs upon the
148 ills with which we are invested; to try to
91 forget them, or to hope tnafc they will cease
3 to exist. No harm can result from an effort
189 to cure or modify them. It may be by large
52 I concessions and by commou consent, redress
27 I may be found, aud confidence strengthened.
57 It is worth the trial—let it he made. Come,
133 then, to the meeting proposed.

A Miracle.—The mention of alms givinc
recalls a somewhat ludicrous story ol
modern date, where a most inopportune
miracle was wrought. The well-known
French missionary, Father Bridain, was
always poor, for the simple reason that he
gave away everything lie had. One eve
ning he asked lor a night’s lodging from the
curate of the village through Avhich he
passed, and the worthy man having only one
bed shared it with him.
At day-break Father Bridain rose accord
ing to custom, and went to say his prayers
at the neighboring church. Returning from
his sacred duty, he met a beggar who asked
for alms. “
“Alas! my friend, I have nothing,!’ said
the good priest, mechanically putting his
hands into his breeches pocket, where,
his astonishment, he lound something hard
wrapped up in a piece oi paper, which-lid
knew he had not left there. He hastily open
ed the paper, and seeing lour crowns in it,
cried out that it was a miracle!
He gave the money to the beggar, and
hastened into church to return thanks to
God. The curate soon after arrived the:c,
and Father Bridian related the miracle to
bint with the greatess unction. *
The curate turned pale, put his hand in
pocket, and in an instant perceived that Fa
ther Bridian, in getting up in the dark, had
taken the wrong pair of breeches—he had
performed a miracle with the curates
crowns.
