It il (laid thil iuoruiug, that the enemy's line
which confronted our extreme right in uncomforta
ble proximity yesterday, disappcaiod last night,
and some of our cavalry scouted a mile or two bo
yond their position of yesterday, and bring no
account of their whoroubouts. What Ihcy are lit,
iii of course, a mutter of anxious conjecture. Home
ay thi!y are retiring and tearing up the railroad
track, but. thin cannot he ao, as the Hiatus along tho
rest of line is unchanged, so fur as I am informed.
All last night matter were profoundly quiet, lin
ing profoundly quiet myself, of course, I could not
hear anything, hut am assured by person whose
" aurieulara" wore wide awake, that the night puls
ed quietly away. To-day there has been comparti.
tivo quiet, Have a little libelling along the moun
tain, and a moderato skirmish about 9 o'clock ou
the left.
The quiet of the night seemed to excite tho ap
prehensions of the quid nunc and conjectures to
It meaning were rife, sonic conjecturing that Sher
man was about attempting another flank movement,
or it about to giro it up and retire as it is known
that Harvey with eighty men had gotten into bis
rear destroying soino inconsiderable bridge and
capturing ami burning tbreo trains of supplies. Hut
nothing as yet indicates bin purposes. It is most
likely that his cbastiseniont of day before yesterday
has temporarily checked his madness. The afore
said Ilarvoy ii again upou the war path this morn
ing. In my ramble thin morning I went
upon the battle-field of the 27th. Tho scene was
horrible. Tho Yankoe dead lay thick along our
front as "leaves in Vallanibrosa." (I ask pardon of
the leaves and of Vallauibrosa also.) Souieof them
were in ton feet of our entrenchments. The fetid
state of the atmosphere rendered it a most disagree
able place. You know the odor of a defunct Yan
ke differs from cologne in several essential partic
ulars. Fortunately for tho olfactories of our gal
lant boys they were about to bury the dead under
a flag of truce. Humanity would seem to have de
manded this long ago for these unhappy wretches,
though dying tho victims of an iusanu fanaticism.
The Federals had entrenched themselves within
sixty y.rd of our linos and I had a full view of
them and of tEeoTrt-m r ."itjine nnd the star."
which all of us once loved "not wisely' Tinr mrr -
I must relate one incident of the battle of the
37th, as it illuatraUi alike tho chivalry of a Ten
oesseean and the port! diy of the Yankees. After
the terrible repulse of the six lines of battle and
while the surviving Federals of the assaulting party
wore crouching undor cover of the hill which slopes
down from that part of Cheatham's front the
ground being strewn with Federal dead and woun
ded one who was badly mutilated cried out to our
boys in great agony, "Fur Ood's sake boys, bring
me a drink of water. I would go to you if I could,
but I am disabled in God's namo bring me a drink
of water."
A noble youth of our State, pitying the misera
ble wrotoh, mounted the breastworks and shouted
to the Federals, who were in full hearing: "I am
going to take ono of your wounded men a drink of
water, don't shoot at mo." Whereupon ho took tho
dying Federal tlit canteen, allowed him todrink, and
in retiring was Ored at by a dozen yankoes, and in
stantly killed. Our boys witnessod the act, instant
ly and without ordera, Dred at tho sqaad before
they eould conceal thimsolvcs, and it is said killed
every one one of them. So much for the retributive
juitice of God. 'ion. Choathatn was tolling me
tbis morning that nothing could surpass the dash
ing gallantry of his men in the late fight.
Gon. Johnston in riding along tho lines askod,
haw i it (hat so many dead Federals lio so closo
to your breast-works? He was told that Cheatham
had ordered his men to roscrvo their fire, until the
enemy almost touched tho niiu.ile.1 of their
guns. "Ah," said old Joe, "I understand it now."
The truth il however, as I was told by the soldiers
this morning, thoso who fell so near our works were
endeavoring to get in anil surrender thernsolvos, but
the exigoncy would not allow of discrimination.
Homo who did get in said to our boys, "lliero is a
thousand mon there wish to como in and surrender
if you will let thorn," It is duo to thoso people,
however, to say that, as a general thing, their
charge was bold, steady and creditable. Tho as
sailing Regiments wero from Ohio, Indiana Illinois
and Kentucky, as tho register of prisoners shows.
tft. Andy Johnson says that he wants the
large plantations of rebels in Tennessee, divided up
into small farms and sold to Ao,ic men. A very
Black Republican votes., How" ' Hoes' ew-aisW iiui
that some of his own party may want to purchase
a small farm? Wo aro at a loss to soe what his
object can be in excluding tbein, especially as it ia
an old adago that "birds of a feather will flock to
gether," and upou this principle Andy would natu
rally prefer that tho country should be inhabited
bt thieves and scoundrels. Whenever Andy can
gel Tennesse occupied exclusively by honest men, i,
will be an unhealthy couutrp for him to live in, for
justice will thon claim its own, and his time will be
short.
jHf We are informed that thoro aro many ladies
through the country, who would willingly manu
facture Blackberry wine and cordial for Hospital
use, if the government would supply them with tho
necessary quantity of sugar with which to do it.
The matter is worthy of the immediate attention of
the proper authorities. ,Tbe berries aro now plenty
but will not last loug. A little energy displayed
at this time ill distributing sugar, would probably
result in supplying our hospitals with a sufficiency
of these much needed articles.
It is understood that at the commencement
of the present campaign, Gen. Grant's programme
contemplated the flaming of tho "old flag," the
" Bar Siaugled Spanner " over the city of Kioh
mond on the 4th of July. From present indica
tions he will not bo within sight of tho city at that
time unless he should be there as a prisoner.
Advices from Denmark continue warlike, and the
Indications are that the war will go on.

The (ioud Time Coining.
The present condition of I ho Northern govern
ment is auspicious lor us whose most reliable hope
Is in the bankruptcy of Unit people, the disorgan
isation of their society, and tho weakening of their
power. (In every baud we see multiplied evidences
of disintegration and anarchy of social tumult
and nalional and individual ruin. Disaster la
thiikouing fust and heal y about thoir standard,
and their financial system is hopelessly prostrate,
while a thousand milli ofnaliouul currency is
turning to ashes mid dross in the hands of the mil
lions who have toiled lor and are holding it as their
all. Hostility to the war is "featuring to revolt"
and threatens lo break out into opeu and undisguis
ed rosiftciico to the government. Exiled traitors
return unasked and boldly hurl detiuueo into the
teeth of tho authorities. Tho working classes, op
pressed by the depreciation uf tho currency and
their meagre wages, are on the verge of destitution
and beggary, and daily find their condition reu
dered uioro hopeless by tho continued decline of
the only representative of money now within thoir
reach. To add to thoir affliction), the Northern
people are compelled to witness the agoui.iug sp -o-taclo
of their fathers, brothers, and husbands, led
on by ambitious generals and an unscrupulous gov
ernment, falling by thousands, day al ter day, ill au
jnsulio and hopeless rHorl to enslave a people who
havo proved both their' determination and ability
to bo entirely free. ,
Under these circumstances it ia uot strange that
!.., n- r.;..t.ii'w,.i .i,i,l k. i ., nvAuK4
and explosive condition, and look with hostility
upon the leaders who have brought them to this
direful and uiihupny condition. And amid all of
this present and prospective ruin aud distress, thoro
is no ray of light to break the general gloom.
Nothing but the most decisive military successes
could afford even temporary relief, and they aro
impossible. Iloth (irant and Sherman have shat
tered and crippled their armies against our un
yielding and heroic columns, until they are no lon
ger able to advance, and they now stand confused
and demoralized in the presence of adversaries
they can neither intimidate or destroy. Their ve
terans of three years of warfare arc melting away
under the ferocious aud reckless strategy of thoir
(irncrals, anil thuir places cannot be supplied.
Any reinforcements which may bo raised will ne
cessarily be raw and inexperienced, unable to oiler
any successful resilience to our batlle-seasonod and
hardy Confederates.
Tho Northern people see and know these facts
and hence their great depression aud despair.
Every defeat of the Yankee armies now swells the
number of the advocates of peace, and increases
the opposition to the war. Every check shakes
the faith of thousands who have heretofore been
conli'lent of final triumph, and if God will con
tinue, as he has done, to smile upon our arms and
grunt us victories, we may hope tu aao an uprising
in the North ill the next three months which will
compel the government to stop hostilities and sue
for peace.
JHf The Cincinnati Gazette's special from
Washington, Tuesday, says the rapid rise in Hold
attracts the general altontion o( the public men.
Mr. Chase, it is understood, hold very emphatical
ly that nothing but a victory can produce a per

strict the volume of currency afloat.
Iti'publli aii Kule and Ituln.
A writer in the Indianapolis .Sentinel sums up
some uf the results of Republican role for the past
three years. The whole people of the whole coun
try are seeing and feeling these results. They
press upon all alike high taxes and high prices
havo to be paid by all; tho ruin and disaster affect
Luii -
by and by all will wondor at the infamv
aim
leluslon
First: VVo have lust, Ly ueati, inf perhlilnflTU
disability, more than a million of men from vio
lence and disease, in this war. Over two millions
havo enlisted altogether. There are not much over
half Jn1 million in the tield now. Where are
the balance?
Second: We havo created a debt of over three
thousand millions of dollars. The official report o'
' the Secretary of tho Treasury does not show over
half the ao'uul debt; it does not take into account
tho floating debt created by quartermasters and
other officers, for which receipts, certificates and
vouchers are outstanding.
Third: lly tho Abolition aud Confiscation Acts,
every vestige of Union feeling in the South has
boon blotted out, as Dunmore's policy united the
Colon its.
Fourth : Tho nation's wealth is about twelve
thousand millions of dollars. Three thousand mil
lions of that has been destroyed and wasted. So
we are that much poorer. In place is supplied by
irreduemable paper.
Fiftli: The whole country is ono vast post-houso
of sickness and disease, consequent upon congrogi
gating men in largo bodies, and then scattering
them throughout the land.
Sixth: In every direction wo may turn, wo hoar
the voice of mourning, and zte tho weeds of afflic
tion. Well might the wise man say: "When the
righteous are in authority, tho people rejoice; but
when the wicked bcareth rulo, the people mourn."
Seventh: Demoralization is spreading, like a lep
rous sore, through all tho ramifications of society.
Look at the police reports; there is no longer much
regard for human lifo. Look around you and see
tho "dissolution of tho framowork of society." Hut
the other day two Republican mipers wero discuss
ing tho question whether, at tho headquarters of
Abolition officials, 'then were fifteen thousand or
only ten thousand lewd women. Rascality end
publio plunder, as in tho cases of Cameron and
Fremont, aro regarded and rewarded as special vir
tues in officials. .V. Freemnn'e Jtmrnnl.

Letter From North Mississippi.
Tui'ti.0 Mini, June 15, 1864.
There are some rumors here of sumcWnt lutoiest
far m .....inm,.li,,n. 0"l CM"'0 through the
lines somehow. Irotu the .North, h, that, the South
has been recognir.ad by France and Kuyiaiib. I
think it has originated from tetters Whieh have
bien misunderstood, but which were certaiuly re
ceived from Washington, one at Maytleld, Kentucky
from Liieiau Adncrson, Congressman from that
District, anil the other at Dresden, Twnessoc, from
the notorious Emerson Etheridge, saving that hos
tilities would eeasn next uionlb, or at all events,
that an armistice would bo proposed and begging
their respective friends to use their inmost endea
vors to have those Slates to go with the Xorth.
I had this information two days aga but would
uot write it for publication for fear Ike gentleman
who brought it, a very truthful friend of mine just
down trom Jaekson, Tenu., may havo been de
ceived. He got the information from parties di
rectfrom Maylicld, Ky., and as another equally
veracious friend of mine brings the Saiuu intelli
gence in a mote authenticated sbspc, I deem it
sufficiently reliably, as it is certaiuly important
enough for publication, for surely a Congressman
or even an ex member, writing froin Washington
ought lo speak by tho card.
Let mo warn your readers, however, lest undue
iiuportauoe be attached to tho rumor, that Ander
son and Etheridge may be writing merely hypo
thclica'ly, knowing perhaps that Grant has been
allowed till the 4th of July to take Richmond, hut
being satisfied that he will inevitably fail. I think
we should feel pretty (anguine ourselves on such a
hypothesis. The question arises, if England and
France have interposed, is it among their propo
sitions to have the border States decide for theu.
selves, ns implied by tho action of these prominent
characters?
Etheridge says "we are whipped,'' and Anderson
that "the present Congress will recognise the Con
federacy." This i.- positive.
At all eventa. I cannot doubt that the war is
drawing rapidly to a close, and will end soon after
the assembling of the Federal Congress next De
cember. Fremont, in my ophiiuu, will outrun Lin
coln if ho does not boat the Democratic candidates,
of whom there will probably bo two JfcClellan
and Vallandigham. Something lite the following
will be the complexion of the several tickets :
Lincoln and Johnston, Republican Miscegon
War candidates.
Fremont and Cochrane, Ami-Administration
Miscegen War candidates.
McClellan and Seymour (or Johnston), Anti-Administration
Ultra War Democrats.
Vallandigham and Wood (or Voorhies), Anti
Administration Conservative Democrats.
If the last run as Peace candidates, r.J !h co
plo at home aud the army are allowed tu vote unre
servedly, the contest will lio, I think, between Val
landigham and Fremont, otherwise it will be be
tween the first throe, leaving Vallandigham but
little chance. Fremont's letter aud the ono-torm
plutitude and the no! enptandum platform of the
f il'i'iY"1'"" which nominated him, will, I think, ta
ins; during an administration of Tour years slgrtalTy
failed to put down the rebellion. Albeit they may
glory in bis renoininatiou from the distant stand
point of San Francisco, when tho grim visage of
Mars has scarcely been seen at their doors, those
who have most immediately experienced his pres
ence will be slow to protract his visit four years
longer by the re-electiou of Liucohi; and unless
constrained at the ballot- box, let them talk as they
will for effect before hand, the glamor of the Flag
and tho Union will he as effectually dissipated from
thoir vision as it waa from ours when by one full
act of secession we tore the deceitful trellis of im
agination from the web of actuality in the ineffect
ual hunting, tinselled with such inscriptions as
"the Constitution and the Union," which we were
so wont to wavo in ancestral pride on every politi
cal occasion.
Several flags of truce havo been passing lately,
but their meaning has not bsen divulged. One left
for Memphis this morning. It is said by parties
from there that the place could buve been taken
with two or thrco regiments at one time siuce the
fight. It is also reported the enemy intend to come
out in force to repair the Sturgis disaster. Let
them come, wo are in considerable force ourselves.
The reports as to the enemy's movements are con
flicting, but 1 hold tu tho opinion that they will
come shortly.
I learn that a great many men from Kentucky,
who have fitted themselves oat for the cavalry ser
vice, havo stopped on the State line, on account of
the mischievous falsehood taken back by deserters,
that the cavalry of Buford's command wero being
dismounted. Subjoined is a copy of tho form for druft
iugby thofcderals in that State. Two Kentuckiana
were shot just before the battle for desertion.

usually quiet." Ho reminds us of the country boy
who attended a show for the first time. The boy
had a very stingy old fellow for a father, who would
never give him any money to spend at a show or
anything else. One day the boy read tho great and
small bills of a showman with inexpressible delight.
Upon those bills it was set foith that wonderful
things would b" performed nt the Court House that
night. The boy went to his father and so persist
ently begged him for a quarter that the old man
yielded. Of course he was the first in the house
uud when tho show went oft" he gazed in perfect
wonder. Amoug the rest of the pictures wasamina
ture representation of the burning of Moscow, the
blowing up of its Kiemlin a ad palaces, tiring of
cannon, et. In order to give the thing effect the
showman had small pop guns charged with sure
enough powder, which he let off occasionally. In
deed ho bad a keg of powder behind the curtain,
whieh aeciduntly caught, blowing up house, audi
euce, show and showman. The boy fell in the
street and scrambling up from the dust, exclaimed:
" I wonder what that d n fool will show next ? "
SiSGt'LAR I'KKSKSTiuasr. A yoaug isran who
was born and raised in La Grange, we believe, en

He had a presentiment tbt h woul be killed in
the first engagement, and accordingly when be gi.t
to Atlanta he had a coffiin made, with, instructions
as to his burial, ic. Sure eaoigh, in a few days
be was killed in a skirmish and his body was placed
in the cofhin he had previously prepared for its in

wonderful foreboding which we call presentiment.

your countrywomen speak French so very imper
fectly ? We Austnnns use it with the same free
dom as if it were our native tongue." ".Madam,"

A Common Sknsp. OniiEH. S. D. Lee. in com
maud of the department of Alabama, Mis-i-i,pi
and East Louisiana, has issued tho follow ing order:
The discrttionury power given to officers to de
stroy railroads and railroad stock that may be in

Calks Crsiuso. A correspondent of the .Mobile
Telegraph says :
I see in one of the city papers that Caleb dish
ing is classed with Beast Butler, and it is declared
that after bring sentimentally with the South, has
deserted, to tho Abolitionists. This is a mistake
that does groat injustice to Mr. dishing. He oc
cupies now about tho same position as e.x-l'rcsi-dent
Pierce, and baa never lifted a hund to pu.-h
ou the war against tho South.
Tho resignation of Maj. 0. W. I.e,-, from
the Confederate States serricj, has been accepted.
We understand that Maj. Lee has been assigned t
duty by the Governor of this State, as meiiibci of
staff, with rank and commission of Colonel, to col
lect the "Record of Honor" for the State of (I, or-B'-
Wiir Moxicr is not Pain Or v. A writer in
forms tho Examiner, thut thero uro now jhi.ilou,
000 in tho Treasury building in Uichnioiid, wailing
to be counted before the money ea-n b-; paid. The
clerks are in the field. Mr. Mcmniingcr bus re
peated applications for the detail of sufficient clerks
to carry on the business, but without ilfeel.
JM The Mayor of Marion, Ala., has issued his
proclamation calling upon all the citizens to elo.-e
their doors during the prayer meeting held in th it
place every afternoon nt 5 o'clock, and 1 1 avail

ments to tho best interests of the country.
ii-sit- It is thought that Major llciieral Diok Tay
lor, who baa been relieved in the trans-Mississippi
department at his own rcpiest, will bo made u lieu
tenant (Jeneral and assigned to the command nl
Polk's corps.
When you see young man and a woman
walking down the street, leaning against each other
like a pair of badly mulched oxen, be assured that
they uro bent on consolidation.
T Robust health is indicate. I by the ru ly
