More Improprieties.
We deeply regret the existence of what we
consider a necessity on our part, to take notice
of articles which have, for a few days past,
appeared in the columns of the “ Intelligen
cer.” We desire no controversy or quarrel
with that or any other journal, and will not
be drawn into one; indeed, we would not take
the slightest notice of what we conceive to be
improprieties on the part of a cotemporary,
were they not of so grave and serious a char
acter—so harmful and uncelled for—that we
feel it to be our duty, as journalists having a
special regard for the peace and welfare of the
public, and as sentinels on the people’s watch
tower, to raise our voice in respectful but ear
nest warning against what we consider in the
highest degree detrimental to public good,
without the slightest corresponding benefit
arising therefrom.
We had occasion, lately, to animadvert up
on the conduct of our neighbor, in calling ma
ny of the best and truest men in the country
by the same hard names it would apply to
Giddings, Beecher, Seward & Co. The reply
that journal made to our remarks, while it re
quired no further notice at our hands, showed
that our labors, so far as it was concerned,
were wasted ; for its manners were not in the
slightest degree improved ; and the late arti
cles in its columns, which have called forth
these remarks, still further show this. We are
sorry that what we have heretofore said has
done that journal no good, and therefore have
no hope to be more successful on this occasion.
We, however, were not, and are not, writing
exclusively for the benefit of the “ Intelligen
cer.” If that had been our sole object, we
would not now repeat the experiment. We
believe it to be our duty to our country, and
for the credit of the press, to expose and con
demn things of this kind. Journalism has
hitherto been too much disgraced by such
characteristics as we now allude to, and we
long for the time to come when it will eeaae.
As long as we publish a paper it shall be a
DECENT one; and we intend to expose the
improprieties of the press, hoping that a sound
public sentiment, under such exposures, will
force every journal either to adopt decent hab
its, or find itself without support.
In the “ Intelligencer” of the 21st, appears
a communication over the signature of
“South,” headed “Gen. Tyler, of the Grand
Army of Invasion,” in which the writer says
that Gen. Tyler, es Connecticut, now in Lin
coln’s army fighting against us, was, a few
years ago, Superintendent of the Macon and
Western Railroad, and has heard that he is
yet a large stockholder in the road ; and that a
son of Gen. Tyler is now Superintendent and a
stockholder. He then, with a sagacity most
remarkable, thinks, that when the son amasses
a large fortune, he, too, will go back to Con
necticut, and boa General in the next grand
army of invasion.
The indelicacy and bad taste of thus, with
out any provocation or adequate cause, seizing
upon the private relations of an individual,
dragging them before the public eye, and try
ing to make an exposure that can only excite
public prejudice against an individual, with
out adducing any evidence that it is deserved,
is reprehensible and deserves censure. Hard
and slanderous things are here uttered against
a private gentleman, ;n his private relations,
without the slighest particle of such evidence.
If the present Superintendent of the road is
untrue or disloyal to the South, and this “ In
telligencer” writer has evidence of it, he should
have dealt with him according to law, which
has made ample provision for the proper pun
ishment and expulsion from the country of all
alien enemies. A patriot in possession of evi
dences of disloyalty, who desired to rid the
country of an enemy, would adopt this plan.
A man without such evidence, who was only
intent upon doing ham to one whom he hated
or was jealous of—who would be afflicted with
a desire to inflict personal injury, not for any
benefit to the country, and having no good ob
ject in view but to gratify malice or jealousy,
would run into the newspapers. Such a mau
would be content to blast the reputation of a
man by thus denouncing him, and tnsinuafiny
that he was an enemy ; but after this person
al damage, would be content to let him re
main here among us following the same occu
pation. Such, in our judgment, is neither
brave nor honorable; and the publisher ot a
journal who will spread before the public eye
such pestiferous productions, and so seriously
abuse the high privileges of the press, in our
judgment deserves no more favorable consid
eration than the writers.
If Mr. Tyler is an enemy, rid the country
of him, and publish it, too; but until he is"
proven to be such enemy, it is in very bad
taste to drag him before the public and make
insinuations and denunciations against him as
such.
We have no defense to make of Mr. Tyler,
or the Macon and Western Road, and do not
know who are its stockholders. They must
take care of themselves. If “Gen. Tyler, of
the Grand Army of Invasion,” or any other
citisen of the United States, is a stockholder,
such stock should be confiscated. If “South,”
knows this to be the case, he should quietly
give the information to the powers that be, or
institute process against such contraband pro
perty, in accordance with the provisions of
law. He should not run into the newspapers,
saying he has heard Gen. Tyler is a stockhold
er. We are astonished that an editor will ad
mit such mischievous articles into his columns.
To cast imputations upon Mr. Tyler because
his father is a Brigadier in Lincoln’s army, is
most unjustifiable— exceedingly indelicate end
unmannerly—unless he is also an enemy. The
rules of common politeness require that such
a matter should not, even in conversation, be
alluded to with the intention of casting odi
um upon him— much leas should it be blazon
•d abroad in the newspapers. If Mr. Tyler is
a true man to the South, the msrr/act of his
father being in Lincoln’s army, must be suf.
fieiently painful to him, without having it
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.
publicly cast in his teeth. What regard can
this writer, or the editor of a paper who will
lay before the public what he says, have for
public decency, or the amenities of social life?
If he deserevs social ostracism and thus be
ing held upto public contempt, because bis
father is a Yankee General, there are others
nearer home who deserve a much worse fate.
If this be a sound principle, our own govern
ment has been guilty of treason to itself. It
was but a few days ago that President Davis
commissioned Geo. B. Crittenden a Brigadier
General in our army. He is a son of that
weak old man who has lately proven himself
such a treacherous enemy to the South. That
same old mau has also another son—Lieut. E.
W. Crittenden—who is an officer in our army.
Henry C. Wayne is Adjutant General of the
State of Georgia—loved, honored and trusted
—while his father, a native Georgian, is on
Lincoln’s Supreme Bench. He is in a position
to do us, and is actively doing us, more harm
than Gen. Tyler, yet, even the Intelligencer has
not been so indiscreet and unmannerly as to
assail Gen. Wayne—though no man in Geor
gia occupies a more vitally important position
than he. Mr. Tyler’s position is not the thou
sandth so important to us in a political or na
tional point of view, and perhaps it xs a little
safer to make a ruthless, uncalled-for and un
justifiable war on him. This may be the rea
son Gen. Wayne has not been assailed, and it
may not. We can’t say.
George D. Prentice, of the Louisville Jour
nal— the traitor who has sold himself to Lin
coln to do the dirty work of treachery and
subjugation in Kentucky, has two sons in the
Confederate army—none more true, loyal or
efficient. Nobody attacks them for the mis
deeds of their father. That may be owing to
the fact that they do not reside within the
scope of the personal acquaintance of the ed
itor of the “ Intelligencer.”
In that journal of the 22d and 23d, we also
find communications of a like reprehensible
tenor, equally abusive and unjust against Mr.
Tyler, making no specific charges save that
his father is a Connecticut Yankee Brigadier
in Lincoln’s army.
In the issue of the 22d we also find the fol
lowing :
a dangerous anti-southern political organi
zation IN GEORGIA.
Editor Atlanta Intelligencer:
There is reason to believe that a dangerous
secret organization is on foot, the object of
which is to create a “Reorganization” party
in Georgia. The members of this mysterious
band are know as the “C. A 8.” They know
each other by an extraordinary sympathy, and
it is said, occupy positions in every part of the
Government, from the most elevated to the
most humble. I will continue my researches
and report from time to time.
SECESSIONIST.
This is exactly what Lincoln, Greely, Ben
nett, and the whole pack of our Northern foes
have always alleged in justification of the
war. They have all along asserted that the
whole South was full of Union men, tyran
nized over by an irresponsible mob, who had
unlawfully seized upon the reins of govern
ment; that these Union men were sighing for
the Union Annyto liberate them from the
cruel thraldom of oppression under which
they were chafing and longing for deliverance.
Here, in this city of Atlanta—the centre of
the Confederate States—is a public journal
acknowledging the truth of the only allegation
which the North has ever made in justification
of the war against us, which had so much as
the semblance of justice in it, if it were true.
This statement will find its way North, and
get into the columns of the Herald and Tri
bune, and will be gloated over by them as a
confirmation of all their lies.
In publishing this short article, the“ Intelli
gencer” has most outrageously slandered the
Confederate Government and our whole people
—for it has admitted into its columns and laid
before the country with tacit approval, a
charge that there is an organization in Georgia
whose object it is to “ create a Re-organization
party”—and that men occupying the highest
places in our Government are members of this
organization.
This is a grave and serious charge, for which
the editor of the “ Intelligencer” is responsible,
for he has uttered it by publishing it in his
paper without any dissent. We feel very sure
that no such party exists, and that the charge
is made to serve some purpose entirely foreign
to such a subject. If the editor knows of a
single man belonging to such n party, we ask
him, as a duty he owes—not to himself, but to
hie country—to name him. If he cannot do
this, we ask him to take back the charge.
One other matter: The “ Intelligencer” is
in the habit of indulging in the broadest and
most sweeping denunciations against al! men
of northern birth, without making proper dis
criminations. A man’s birth-place should not
be the test of his loyalty to the South, or of his
worth as a man. No man can justly be blamed
for the conduct of his kinfolks, or for having
been born in the wrong place, provided he
behaves himself.
True, a majority of the people in the north
ern States are of a bad race. The Puritan
stock is a turbulent, unruly element in any
country—always‘has*been,and always will be;
but that stock does not include all the people
of the North—neither is every individual of
thair descendants imbued with Puritanical
characteristics. This day, in Massachusetts,
with all its Puritanical sins, there are many
hundreds of men who justify our rebellion, are
proslavery in their convictions, and opposed to
the war on us. Then there are tens and hun
dreds of thousands of the same kind all over
the North and West. It is unjust to include
these men in an indiscriminate sweeping de
nunciation of everybody born north of Mason
and Dixon’s line; much more is it unjust and
an outrage to make such denunciations of men
among us of northern birth. That a few of
them may be traitors we admit; for some of
them have proven themselves to be such, and
we doubt not that there are a few more; but
that such a charge can lie against any consid
erable number of tbeua, we utterly deny. The
great mass of them—ninety-nine out c f every
hundred— are as true and loyal as any of us.
This wholesale denunciation of men of north
ern birth is as inexcusable and wicked as the
“ Intelligencer s ’ application of the term Yan
kee to its political opponents. We hope it will
cease.

Richmond, Virginia, August 22,1861.
It was one month ago yesterday since the bat
tle of Manassas was fought. The enemy retreat
ed precipitately to Alexandria and Washington,
and the Confederates proceeded to re-oecupy
Centreville and Fairfax Court House, and the
adjacent country. Large numbers of the enemy’s
troops, being three months volunteers, have re
turned home, and their places have not yet been
filled by fresh recruits. His force, thei efore, in
and about Washington, is less than it was on
the day of the battle. A considerable portion
of it is made up of raw levies, and the
whole, including officers as well as privates, is
more or less demoralized, and has been so ever
since the battle, in consequence of their defeat.
The Confederates, on the contrary, have been
reinforced, and the spirit of the men has been
raised and their ardor stimulated by the success
which crowned our arms.
How is it, then,\that the two armies occupy
the same relative positions they did previous to
the advance of General McDowell? If we are
stronger and the enemy weaker, why have our
Generals not availed themselves of our strength
and his weakness, crossed the Potomac and ad
vanced on Washington? This question.is in every
one’s mouth, and puzzling every one’s brain. —
Possibly I could answer it to the satisfaction of
your readers, but whether it would be wise to
do so, inasmuch as the enemy might avail him
self of it, is a very different thing. This much
I may venture to say, that in this, as in all their
other movements, Johnston and Beauregard
have done the best they 'could under the cir
cumstances. Whether these circumstances might
not have been different, it were impossible to
decide with the limited information at my com
mand. But one thing should never be forgotten
in all our criticisms upon the acts of those in
authority, and that is, that the Government it
self is but a few months old. Only seven months
ago its corner stone was laid at Montgomery.—
How much has been accomplished since then?
A mighty fabric, whose foundations are as broad
and deep as the wants of human nature, has
been reared and its proportions adjusted; a sys
tem of the most beneficial laws has been insti
tuted for the government and protection of the
citizen; and an army has been brought upon the
field, which, for the material of which it is com
posd and its brilliant achievements in the face
of the enemy, the future historian will write
down as the most patient, the most heroic, and
the bravest that ever trod the earth.
The duties of some of the officers in the War
Department may not have been efficiently and
courteously discharged. There may have been
some lack of system, and possibly of energy and
"promptness, in the Quarter-Master’s and Com
missary’s departments, and especially in the
Surgeon-General’s office. But for all this, a mi
raculous work has been performed. An army
cannot be extemporised in a day, ora month, or
a year. It requires time and patience, and train
ing, and money. In Europe it would require
years to raise and equip such an army .as we
have brought into the field in a few weeks. If
we have outstripped all others in this respect, it
has been because our soil has been invaded>
and ourselves threatened with subjugation by
an enemy more despicable than the Huns and
Goths, and because our people of all others in
the world are the quickest to resent a wrong,
and the readiest to sacrifice property, life, all
they have, in the sacred cause of liberty.
When all these things are considered; and
when we remember that our Government has
never yet committed a blunder, and our Gene
rals have never lost a battle, we may rest satis
fied that if our army has rot advanced upon
Washington, and thus plucked the fruits of our
great victory at Manassas, there was a good rea
son for it, and which, if known, would be ac
cepted everywhere by the people. A Govern
ment and an army thus successful, may well be
trusted without questioning from any quarter.
I am in receipt of a letter from an intelligent
friend in Georgia, who expresses his surprise
that no full, fair and satisfactory account of the
battle of Manassas has yet been published. He
Inquires for the reason of this, and refers to the
battles in Mexico and the graphic accounts of
them published in the States, and especially in
the New York Spirit of the Times. I can only
say, that his complaint is well grounded, and no
good reason can be given for it. In Mexico,
however, correspondents doubtless had greater
facilities for obtaining correct information. The
military authorities were, perhaps, more acces
sible, and did not find it necessary, in conse
quence of the presence of spies and traitors, to
discourage rather than assist gentlemen connec
ted with the press in their efforts to procure
full and reliable details. No one felt this em
barrassment more than I did. The brigade that
first encountered the enemy, the composition of
the brigade, the officers commanding the regi
ments of which it was composed; the next brig
ade, and the time, place and manner it went
into the fight; and the next, and the next, to
the last one that moved into line; the position
of the several batteries, the parts they took, by
whom supported, when and how they moved
into action, whether and why they changed their
positions duting the day; the cavalry, where
they were during every stage of the combat,
why they were massed together behind this hill,
and drawn up in battle array beyond those
woods, and when and in what order they com
menced the pursuit, and to hew and hack the
broken and disordered columns of the enemy;
where the commanding Generals were during
the fight, why they withdrew this or that brig
ade, and ordered it into another position, why
this point in the army was strengthened, and
indeed the rationale of the whole battle— these
were details which every man and woman in the
Confederate States would have been glad to
read, and.which I would have been equally glad
to furnish. If neither I nor any other corres
pondent has done so, it was simply t>ecause, un
der the rules adopted in the army, it was impos
sible. I doubt whether any officer in General
Beauregard's staff knew the position and com
position of the several brigades along Bull Run
on the day preceding the battle. Nor could he
tell the number of our forces then at a: d near
Manassas.
Under these circumstances, and with every
avenue to information closed, the wonder is,
that the accounts published have been as full
even as they have been. The rigid regulations
adopted in camp have been rendered necessary
by the fact that the enemy speaks the same
language that we do, is familiar with our hab
its and customs, and is as well informed in re
gard to our railway lines, the geography of the
country and our resources, as we are ourselves •
and with this knowledge, he could easily in
troduce spies within our lines in the absence
of such regulations as I have spoken of. In
addition to this, the country along the Potomac
abounds in resident tories, who pick up all
the information they can, and then communi
cate it to the enemy. Nor has the press itself
been blameless in the matter. A letter writ
ten from Manassas some six weeks or two
months since, and published in the Charleston
“Murcury,” is believed to have had no little
influence in inducing the authorities to adopt
such rigid regulations ; and a second letter to
the same paper of a more recent date, in regard
to the time and manner of a supposed attack
upon Fortress Monroe, has not helped the mat
ter. I think, however, that these rules might
be modified, so as to allow persons to enter the
lines who would not abuse the privilege, and
yet exclude supicious and unworthy charac
ter. A.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN MOYER —INTERESTING
ITEMS.
We have received the following from C S.
Johnson, Esq, of Beaufort, South Carolina, for
which he will please accept our thanks:
Bkaufort, S. C., August 22, 1861.
Messrs. Editors: I have just received a let
ter from my brother, R. C. Johnson, of the At
lanta Grays, dated Manassis August 14th. He
is the proprietor of the Atlanta Nursery; but,
like many others, has left all, and volunteered
for the protection of his country. I send you
some portions of his letter, thinking you would
like to publish them. Capt. Thomas 8. Moy
er was his cousin, and I can answer lor his at
tachment to him, having known him from
childhood. To know him you could not but
love him. He says :
“ We have to mourn the death of Tom Moy
er, who breathed his last on Tuesday. I feel
as if I had lost a brother. I was devotedly at
tached to him, and would willingly have sac
rificed my life for him. A nobler youth never
lived. He was about to graduate at the time
he took command of a company from Powder
Springs, near Marietta. He had been absent
from home about four months; but, consider
ing it his duty to proceed at once to the scene
of action, he did not visit his parents before
he left. He had compliments showered upon
him through the papers, and in his presence,
enough to turn the head of any man ; but he
remained the same Tom he was before. The
last time I saw him, was on the field just be
fore his regiment came into action. He was
encouraging his men, and exhorting them to
keep cool and stand firm. I gave him a green
apple to quench his thirst, and looked upon
him for the last time in this world. He was
wounded in the head by a piece of shell,
which terminated his existence 16 days after
wards. He died at Culpepper. I cannot de
scribe to you my sorrow at the occurrence.—
Being associated with him from early boyhood,
I felt towards him as a brother. In all my
dreams of the future there was a place for
Tom. With him I shared my pleasures, and
he was always ready to share my misfortunes.
I trust he is now in a land where there is no
more sorrow, sickness, or trouble. Numbered
among the angels, may he ever rejoice around
the throne of God, and may God give his pa
rents strength to bear their affliction.
“Seven of our company were taken prison
ers. We have heard from them They
say they are treated pretty well. I was notin
the least excited. I escaped without a scratch,
although a bullet cut my cartridge box, and
two more struck me—one on my head, and the
other on my body ; but they were too far spent
to do any damage.
“ Your cousin Caleb Smith, who is Major in
Uncle William’s* regiment, lies in a house
near the battle-ground. He is wounded in the
same hip in which he was wounded in Mexi
co. Ho has been in the United States service
many years. Tom Bell, also a cousin, is wait
ing on him. He contrived to slip out of Wash
ington about a month ago.
“ The battle was fought on the turnpike lead
ing from Alexandria io Warrenton. I walked
this very turnpike six years ago—l remember
the locality well; principally on account of a
large grape vine—the largest I ever saw—grow
ing on the aide of the road, and I knew it as
soon as I saw it. I lost a hair brush near this
spot at that time, and I found one exactly like
it on the battle field."
*Ex Governor Wm Smith, of Virginia.
Important—Gen. Rosencranz In Limo.
An Ankansian who reached this city yes
terday, direct from General Lee’s command in
Western Virginia, reports that he had com
pletely, surrounded Gen. Rosencranz within
the vicinity of Beverly, and that the chances
pointed strongly to the probability of his cap
ture.
This statement is corroborated by the fol
lowing significant paragraph which we clip
from the Cincinnati Gazette of the 22J inst.,
received on yesterday by express : *• We have
the very best authority for saying that Rosen
cranz stands in need of more men. The rea
sons for this appeal need not be given. There
are obvious reasons why they should not be
stated. It is enough to know that there is a
want, and the patriots of the West are relied
upon to supply it.” — Memphis Appeal, August
