We are requested by the military authorities
of the Confederate Stales, to urge upon our
brethren of the Press, throughout the South,
itia importance of abstaining from all specific
allusion to the movements of troops. The very
wisest plana of the Government may be
thwarted by an untimely or otherwise injudi
cious exposure.
The above, from tha Savannah “ Republi
can/' is a regulation which should have been
long since adopted. We commend it to tbe
particular attention of our friends of the Press.
We shall hereafter omit all mention of the
passage of troops through this city.—Editor
Cuxonicl*.
ptf We find the foregoing in the Augusta
“Chronicle A Sentinel”ol the 5th instant.—
There are some things about these reported re
quests of our authorities that we do not under
stand. When President Davis and Suite passed
through here en route to Richmond, the Press
of Atlanta were requested not to mention it,
and we all faithfully complied with that re
quest The President made a speech, and bo
did Mr. Wfgfall, which we were very anxious
to pat into our paper. We know that ail our
readers would have perused these speeches
with avidity; but we refrained from giving
even the name of any individual along that
would, in tbe remotest degree, have conveyed
the idea that the President had parsed through
here. Judge of our surprise, and even morti
fication, when we saw in the Augusta papers
the arrival of the President and Suite duly
ehronicled, blazoned abroad, and an account
of their speeches given also. We do not know
whether the same request was made of the
Press of Augusta that was of us here, and waa
disregarded by them, or not; but we do feel
that there is something wrong about this mat
ter, and that it does not lie at tbe door of the
Atlanta Press.
We have been in the habit of noticing the
passage of all military companies through our
city—giving their destination, Ac. If there ia
any impropriety in this, and w$ are informed
of it* we will quit it; but we want to see all
our cotemporariea do the same thing, when we
do. Any thing for tha good of our country,
but don’t impose restrictions upon ns, from
which our cotemporaries are exempt.
Military Operatlous In Virginia.
North-Western Virginia, comprising a few
of those abolitionfzed counties that lately vot
ed against Secession, has been bravely invad
ed by Lincoln’s troops undsr Col. Kelly. They
took possession of Wheeling. They pushed on
in a train to Mannington, and stopped long
enough to arrest five Seceasionists—being
nearly all there were in tbe place. An inves
tigation was at once held when three of them
ware released and two held. One was named
Mathews, Superintendent of tbe section of
the Baltimore & Ohio Rail road ut ih it poll t
and tha other was named Sandgraas, and was
a Constable. Tha trains were again taken by
the invading army, until they came to a bridge
which some patriot had burned. Six compa
nies were then detailed to go to Farmington,
n diataooe of three miles, for the purpose of
oapturiog some fifty Secessionists, among
whom it was said were the men who burned
tbe Railroad bridges. Those who remained
•eat out scowls and squads of men, aud made
a number of arrests.
In the evening the six companies returned
from Farmington, with a few prisoners, hav
ing killed one Secessionist, as they said, and
wounded anoth«7. They found the town eo^
tirely deserted, and began to scour tbs coun
try. The mon whom thry shot, were found
running, and were instantly fired at, because
they would not stop and surrender—killing
one and woundiog another.
Tbe Secessionist!, as tha friends of the
Sooth are oalied ia that Motion, teok posses-
rion of Grafton on Sunday last with 1200
troops, but evacuated it on Monday. This
comet from an abolition source, and we know
not kaw reliable it is. As soon as tbs Sects
sion troops evacuated the place, a grand rush
was made on it by the Ohio black Regimen^
Bad the abolition Lnieniiis they bad gather*
ed op in that Sodom of Virginia. It was ta
ken possession of by them oft Monday even

•a* of Important battles. soon to
be fought end decided upon tkeeoi^of tbe Old
Dominion. ' * W WPi>rl-l»U
On Saturday there came to tbe city a well
authenticated declaration that a flgbtoccurred
between two pioket guards of tha armies, near
Fairfsx Court HottfS, In the vicinity of Alex'
aodria, each numbering about25 men. The
“ Blacks * were stated to have been totally
routed, losing seven or eight killed and others
woemled. Our loss waa represented to have
been one or two killed aod perhaps as many
wounded.
Capt. Marr of Fauquier, a gallant officer
aad member of ike Btate Convention, was re
ported to have been killed.
Later and more reliable intelligence says
that a considerable body of United States
horsemen galloped rapidly into Fairfax Court
House, about day break ia the morning, with
the hope to surprise and cut to plecrs a small
body of soldiers they knew to be stationed
there. f Cspt. Marr wss instantly killed by
them, and several others eerioudly woanded.
Onr men Immediately recovered from their
astonishment end fought, it is said, with the
ferocity of tiger*—scattering tbe marauders,
who came ts thieves in the night, like chaff
before the wind. Fully fifteen of their party
were killed on the spot, a good many severely
wounded, and an equal number of valuable
horses captured by our brave little band, who,
in the defense of their homes and flag, fought
as did the heroic Jackson—each showing, like
him, th* unconquerable spirit of a Marco-Bos-
saris.
There can be no doubt that we are now on
the eve of important and bloody battles, and
notes of preparation will soon give place to
tbe clash of resounding arms. The people art
demanding with one loud voice that the hell-
born vagabonds who have invaded their sacred
soil, captured their cities, murdered in cold
blood their inhabitants, and outraged their
shrieking women, shall be consigned at one gi
gantic sicoop of our brave armies, to the ever
lasting overthrow and destruction they so
richly deserve.
Our forces will no longer remain idle. Ag
gressive movements and pressing invitations
to battle from the Confederate troops must now
be looked for. Ten thousand soldiers are ex
pected to paas through here on to-morrow, des
tined for some of the points where engage
ments are early contemplated.
Gen Bonham of South Carolina, with about
10,000 men under his command, is within 20
miles of Alexandria, where, at present, he is
making a stand. His men are said to be eager
and panting for a fight, and are prevented with
greet difficulty from marching to Alexandria
where are quartered Lincoln's army of inva
sion, who retreated from wRere they had for
merly advanced into the city to avoid a battle
with Bonham’s South Carolinians, although
they exceeded them at tbe time in numbers.—
Bonham may, within the next day or two, be
ordered to attack the Lincolnites at Alexan
dria, and both armies be strengthened and
swollen by reinforcements until the battle at
that point shall be made teiribie and decisive
in its results.
About 20,000 troops guard Harper’s Ferry,
and the place has been so strongly fortified
that the best military judgments now declare
it to be perfectly impregnable. The approach
es to tbo place are all defended by heavy and
numerous pieces of artillery; and an assault
by any number of men, it is believed could
be easily repelled.
The chivalrous game-cock of Virginia—Hen
ry A. Wise—ia now in tbe eity organizing a
famous body of soldiers to be called the “ Wise
Legion.” Tbe Division will soon be muttered
nto service, and will be very large in num
bers, end its material the finest that tbe first
and best families of the Old Dominion can
furnish.
President Davis, in company with the Gov
ernor and Mayor, visited on Friday last, th*
Camp of Iustiuction,” situated on the border
of the city, aud whilst reviewing the troops
there, a soldier who stood near him ia the
ranks, rushed frantically forward and throw
ing hia arms about the neck of the warrior
President, kissed him with tender earnestness.
After the incident, the President addressed
soma stirring remarks to tk* military, which
elicited their warmest applause. On yeeterdaj,
however, an event occurred that seemed to
oast a dark shade over the faces of our brave
military i t large portion of a Tennessee Regi
ment of Volunteers refuted to accept the guns,
flint-lock muskets, tendered them by the State.
Gov. Wise, in a speech made at the BpotUwood
Hotel last night, declared such conduct to be
cowardly and treasonable, and said if no guns
could be proeured, they must fight with scythe
blades, piteh-ferkl* er pikes like those prepared
bj John Brown for tha flrtt invasion of the
blessed old Commonwealth-

ed in Atlanta, and were under arrest for riot
ous oonduetp guarded at tha City Hall; that
they had committed all sorU of outrages in tbe
city of Montgomery, and some of them had
been killed.”
With such sm introduction, our people pare
not prepared to turn out with boquets, and
welcome them to our village. Borne of the la
dies loft tewn; but most of them, although be-
lieving wa were te have a rough, volgarerowd
midst, could not bo made to beliavathet
Southern soldiers oould be found who would
insult women, and do injury to tbeir own de
fenseless people.
Early in the morning these soldiers arrived,
to th* number of five or six hundred. They
xed freely with our people—were in our
yards and our bouses—ate at our tables, and
rece.ved at our hands such refreshments as we
were able to give them ; but not one insulting
rude word was spoken by them to any one
—man, woman or ohild. They acted as gen
tlemen—wishing to pay for everything they re
ceived—and desiring to be so considered. Af
ter wa had seen tha Zouaves* the gentlemen
from your city who hud notified us of their
coming appeared to be awiully frightened
themselves. They were visited at tbe Railroad
depot, and entertained with music and soul-
stirring songs, such only as soldiers can sing.
No soldiers have passed through our village
who have conducted themselves better than
these, and, considerng their number, it is a
matter of surprise, that, during a stay of more
than four hours, there waa not some one among
them who would have acted badly.
They left Decatur on an extra train, at 9}
o’clock, leaving everybody pleased, having
won our respect, and giving us tbe assurance,
that, while they were gentlemen* Linooln’s
people should learn that they were capable of
acting “ rudely,” to tbe glory of the Zouaves,
id of tbe Confederate States.
But* while we were pleased with the Louisi
ana Zouaves, we feel that tbe Atlanta authori
ties have nothing to be proud of in thair treat
ment of this body of our soldiers, nor of the
motive that prompted them ia refasiag to al
low them to stop in your city; but hurried them
through to a defenseless village. If they were
such men as jrourcity authorities believed them
to be, it was too bad to put them upon as, when
you feared to keep them in your own limita,
with some ability to prevent any disturbance
by tbem. That golden rule our Savior taught
has certainly been lost sight of by the city au
thorities of Atlanta.
The excitement of having aix hundred
strangely dressed and savage looking men in
our town being over* a large portion of tbe
oldest and worthiest citizens of the couuty met
in the Court House, and, under their recom
mendation, tbe Inferior Court authorized tbe
issuing of Cuuaty bonds, payable the first day
of January next, to tbe amount of five thous
and dollars, for the relief of the destitute fam
ilies of those who have volunteered from our
county, in tbe Army of the Con federate States.
A Committee of responsible men in every Dis
trict in tbe county was appointed to dispose of
these bonds, and apply the proceeds in such
way as will tend most to the advancement of
the objects of the appropriation.
^The people of DeKalb county are fully arous
ed, and ara willing* if neoeeeary* to offer up
tbe last drop of their blood, and every cent of
tbeir treaeare* in defense ef the independence
and honor of our glorious Confederacy. We
have already nearly ona hundred and fifty
true rnen in service, and two more Companies
are being organised in the county, with every
proauect of snoeeas.
