GEO. W. ADAIR J. HENLY SMITH,
EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS.
ATLANTA, GEORGIA:
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1861.
We are glad of It.
We notice that the Virginia papers are com
plaining quite earnestly about the recent ar
rest of Mr. Guthrie, of Petersburg, and Mr.
Miles, of Richmond, in New York.
If the telegraph has correctly informed us
of the circumstances, we rejoice at it. It
seems they were making collections ia Balti
more, Philadelphia and New York, on con
signments of tobacco, and bills due for tobac
co sold. So far, very well; but it fuither ap
pears that they were taking the large amounts
they had collected —one of them $144,000, and
the other sl3s,ooo—and were investing this
money in the purchase of bonds of the South
ern States, now held by Northern capitalists.
If this be true, they are in reality our ene
mies. If they had collected those large
amounts of money and brought it back to the
South, to be expended among us, we could
have bid them God speed; but when they
were assisting our enemies by taking proper
ty off their hands which was burdensome or
worthless, and giving them in exchange the
means to carry on the war against us, they
were acting the part of common public ene
mies—ag much so as if they had been engaged
against us at Manassas, with arms in their
hands. We rejoice that they are arrested, and
hope that all their ill-gotten gains will be a
total loss to them forever. Further, we hope
they will never be allowed to put foot on our
soil without being at once arrested and dealt
with as traitors.
Our opinion is, that no man who will take
advantage of our misfortunes, and who will
speculate in the blood, bones and life of our
fellow-citizens—the tears, groans and mise
ries of the bereaved women and children of
the South, is our friend—no more than Abe
Lincoln, or Henry Wilson, or Granny Scott.
If we properly understand the case, we can
safely say that President Davis will never in
terfere in their behalf. He would be untrue
to the Confederate States to do so.

A Southern Lady and her Daughters who
lately run Lincoln’s Blockade, and Es
caped from Washington City.
The following letter explains itself. It was
written by a true Southern woman to a friend
residing in Atlanta. She has suffered untold
miseries in Washington, because she could not
roach her beloved South. The husband and
father had left Washington a few days before
McDowell’s grand army of invasion crossed
the Potomac, intending to send for his family
in the course of a few weeks ; but, unfortu
nately, before proper arrangements were made
to do so, all communication between the
South and Washington was cut off. This brave
woman for over two months endured such tri
bulations as no ono can conceive, save those
who have had such experiences.
Richmond, Aug. 24, 1861.
Dear ■ - :
After many trials and tribulations, I am at
last safe in Dixie’s Land. My daughters and
myself, in company with a gentleman going
South, left Washington on the day of
ner in which they passed through the federal
lines. This most thrilling portion of the nar
rative would be most eagerly perused by eve
rybody, but we think beat to withhold it.—
Eds. Confed.]
The Southern pickets, when we came to
them, received us kindly. So you see that
even women folks can run old Abe’s blockade.
It took me three days to accomplish the work
and get safely through.
When wo arrived here we were worn out,
but we have recovered and are now in excel
lent health ; but when I look back, I wonder
how I ever did get through the two months
that I was in Washington. I have begun to
have quite a good opinion of myself, for I re
ally think that if I had had much of the cow
ard about me, I should have been frightened
out of my wits ; for some portions of the time
the excitement was fearful. You cannot re
alite or imagine what a state everything was
in, but I did not feel afraid.
I had the full benefit of the battle of Man
assas. How I wish you could have been there
to have seen the fun after the retreat—or I
should say stampede—commenced I You could
have gotten items enough to fill a newspaper
for many a day. But it was anything but fun
for the Southerners in and around Washing
ton before we knew the result, for we had all
the enemy's preparations before us ; and you
cannot think how anxious we were, for we had
seen regiment after regiment going over to
join McDowell’s forces, and as they went they
looked more like a victorious army than one
just going into battle—all pomp and display,
music and banners: and when they marched
down to cross the Long Bridge, it was to the
tune of Dixie, and we also knew there were
63,0.10 of them going to attack our brave South
erners; and although we did not doubt for a
moment that our boys were brave and tine,
we knew that so much depended on that first
battle ! Oh, how we ell prayed for their suc
cess ! and God answered our prayers; for no
thing yon ean imagine equalled the acene on
the day after the battle. I could hear the
cannon distinctly all that Sunday. 1 walked
out to Glenwood Cemetery, but I could hear
them more distinctly there than in the eity,
and s> passed the most anxious day of my
whole life>.
But on Monday ! Who could describe the
scene? lam sure it would be impossible. I
was almost wild with excitement, and oh, bow
I thanked God for His goodness in giving this
great victory ! But I eould but pity the poor,
miserable creatures, hungry, wounded and
footsore, but still dragging themselves along!
And thus* who had gone so proudly only a
few days nature, oh, what a change!
They wcr* eemiog ia constantly for three
days; and *Uaggl»rs continued to come for
a week. Jwst think of what a state the city
was in! Thousand* of soldiers were eom
pietely disorganisad. and many so dnancrsl-
SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
ized that nothing could be done with them,
and this state of things lasted for over a Week.
I wonder how we all escaped unharmed. Ma
ny who pity them put citizens clothes where
they can get them. The soldiers put them on,
and as soon as they are clear of their uni
forms, they can travel in safety, and away
they go.
There are many true men still left in Wash
ington, but they dare not sympathize with
their friends. If they do, whether they be
old or young, they are thrown into a loath
some prison, made to take oaths still more
loathsome. But the Southern women take
more liberties. They talk as much as they
please. The Southern prisoners now confined in
Washington can testify of their good deeds.
From the time they were taken till I left, they
were supplied not only with such things as
were necessary, but with everything they
could wish, except their liberty. Had it been
in the power of the ladies, they would have
had that, too. Since I came to this place, I
hear that they are now kept on bread and wa
ter, but I don’t believe it. If it is so, Lincoln
and Scott will need a body guard to protect
them irom Southern women.
I took a long walk over this city yesterday,
and, among other things, saw the prisons
where the Yankees are confined. The sentry
told me that there were now 1,717 of them in
this city. I did not go in, as I was content
with what I saw of them through the win
dows. When I left Washington, there were
71 of our men there as prisoners, confined in
the old capitol, which had been converted in
to a prison for them.
Richmond is more like an immense bee hive
than anything I can compare it to. Every la
dy is busy. If there are any drones here now,
I have not seen them. They make clothes for
the soldiers. Machines, needles, and thim
bles, are kept rattling from morning till night.
I rarely meet a lady on the street who has not
a bundle, or a servant carrying a basket of
work. Rich and poor are all engaged in this
noble work.
Much love to all.
Yours most truly,
Kentucky.
The Union members of Congress from Ken
tucky are to hold a Union meeting at Frank
fort to morrow. The Legislature meets there.
It is supposed they want their course in Wash
ington indorsed. It is also supposed they
want to whip into the traces certain Union
men, who are about turning Seceshers.

Kentucky and the Handcuffs.
The Handcuffs which Scott and Lincoln sent
down into Virginia to manacle freemen with,
makes a bitter pill to go down the throats of
the people of Kentucky ; consequently the
New York Herald in its issue of the 23d Au
gust, denies it in to to, and manufactures a
story to account for them—all for the purpose
of trying to save Kentucky to Lincoln's gov
ern, ment—as follows :
WEAK INVENTIONS OF THE ENEMY.
Among the last Munchausenisms of the re
bels are the apostacy to secessionism of
Parson Brownlow and the Hon. T. A. R. Nel
son, of Tennessee. Then look at the story of
the cart loads of handcuffs captured at Bull
Run. Lying seems to be one of the arms on
which the rebel chiefs place their main depen
dence, Theircourse in Kentucky, as soon as the
war broke out, amusingly illustrates this fact.
The Associated Press had an agent in Louis
ville, who made it a point, in the conscious
fulfilment of his duty, to send to the South
ern papers as well as to the Northern an ex
act statement of the success on both sides.—
This did not suit the rebel leaders, and they
accordingly despatched a telegraphic agent of
their own to Louisville, who, taking the des.
patches of the Associated Press, reverses the
news in every instance where the result is fa
vorable to the arms of the Unionists. Such
are the miserable devices and manmnvers by
which they feel it necesaary to prop up a weak
cause.
THE HANDCUFF STORY.
Covington, Ky., Aug. 20, 1801.
To the Editor of the Herald :
James B. Clay, John C. Breckinridge and
J. W. Stevenson are circulating the imtamous
story of the handcuffs that were professed to
have been taken from the Union forces at
Manassas. These men knew the falsity of
the story, nevertheless for secession aid circu
late it. The country is full of these lies. They
tell the ignorant that this is a war for the ab
olition of slavery and the confiscation of all
Southern property. 1 have it from authority
just arrived from Richmond that as soon as
, the news arrived there of the retrest of the
Union forces, the negro traders gathered to
gether all the handcuffs in the jails, and sent
them clear of the right wing and round to the
centre in front, and thus deceived even the
rebel soldiers, and had them brought to Rich
mond as trophies. Imagine the indignation
of the soldiery and the people. This was
done with the sanction of Davis, Beanregard
& Co. These are the means used to deceive
by this wicked rebellion.

Now that the warm weather is come, let
your children amuse themselves out of doors.
Don’t keep them shut up like house plants,
until they become as pale and thin as ghosts.
Strip off the finery, put on coase garments,
and turn them out to play in the sand—to
daub their faces with anything of an “earthly
nature" which will 'have a tendency to make
them look as though they had entered into a
co partnership with dirt. Keep them in the
house, and they will soon loot like, and be of
I about as much value, as a potato which grows

say, boys and girls, and let them run, snuff
the pure air ana be happy. Who cares if they
do get tanned » Leather must be tanned be
fore it is fit for nse, and boys and girls must

qualified to engage in the arduous duties of

The War in Missouri.
We take much pleasure in laying before our
readers the following accounts of the battle of
Oak Hill on the 10th August, which we have
been able to collate from our exchanges.
Mr. Hughes, the writer of the annexed letter
is represented to be a lawyer residing in Pe
tersburg, No., and of irreproachable charac
ter.
On the morning of the 10th, Gen. Lyon at
tacked our cncampmeat, at break of day with
14,000 men and 18 pieces of artillery, hav
ing received large reinforments within the last
few days. The attack was made simultane
ously at four different points, Gen. Lyon on
the west, Seigel south, Sturgis north, and
Sweeney,! think on the east. Ourencampment
was taken by surprise, but in hot haste soon
formed for battle. The forces engaged were
about equal on each side, the Yanaees having
the advantage in position and heavy artillery.
The red harvest of death now commenced.
The cannonading was most terrible, and the
slaughter on both sides immense. In quick
succession the hosts marshalled for the con
flict, and bared their breasts to the storm of
battle. The Louisiana troops, the Arkansians,
the Texans and Missourians revalled each
other on this great and bloody day. For six
long hours the palm of victory remained un
decided. Seven times Lyon was repulsed from
the western heights by the Missouri and Ar
kansas forces, and seven times regained his
position. He had a strong force of regulars
posted with Totten’s battery around his per
son.
The Missouri troops at the north, the Louis
iana troops at the southeast and south, and
Weightman’s brigade of Missouri forces at
the southwest, including his fine battery of
artillery—having been victorious at each
point—'rallied to the heights on the west to
support Gen. Slack’s division, which had borne
the brunt of the fight up to that time, for five
or six hours, unsupported. General Price and
Slack were both actively and gallantly urging
forward this column, when Gen. Slack was
severely wounded and taken from the field.
Gen. Price was slightly wounded also, but not
disabled. He continued to lead his wing on
to victory, and most gallantly.
Gen. Weightman now filed his column in on
the right of my regiment in Gen. Slack’s di
vision, where he fell mortallly wounded near
Totten’s battery,covered all over with wounds.
I received his sword to keep it from the ene*-
my. Meanwhile the enemy’s batteries were
captured by the State Confederate forces, and
routed in every direction, except on the
heights west, where Lycn commanded in per
son, and made his last most desperate strug
gle. General Parsons now advanced with his
four pieces, and poured a terrific fire into the
enemy’s right, while Woodruff’s Arkansas
battery mowed down his left.
At this point of lime Gen. McCullough came
up, and directed Slack’s division to charge
Totten’s battery in front, and the Arkansas
troops to charge on the right. This was the
most terrific storm of grape and musketry ev
er poured out upon the ranks of any American
troops. On both sides the men were mowed
down like the ripe harvest before the sickle.
My own regiment was then decimated, and
Churchills and Melutosh’sArkansasregiments
suffered most severely. Here Gen. Lyon was
killed, Totten’* battery driven from the
heights, and his whole force scattered in the
flight. This ended the bloody day. Never
has a greater victory crowned the efforts of
liberty and equal rights.
The best blood of the land has been pour
ed out to water a fresh Tree of Liberty. This
is only a synopsis of the fight—it is impossi
ble to give you details. I cannot do justice
to all of the officers and men. It will require
volumes to do it. It i* sufficient to say that
all of the officers and men on our side behav
ed themselves bravely, and fought like veter
ans. It is certain we have gained a great vic
tory over the Yankee troops. The loss on our
side, as nearly as I can ascertain, is 200 kill
ed and 400 wounded—some say more. The
whole field for miles is literally covered with
the dead. That of the enemy is 1,500 kill
ed, and from 2,000 to 2,500 wounded. I have
lost 145 in killed and wounded and missing,
from my command of 650 men.
We captured thirteen of the enemy’s best
cannon and all the accompanying carriages
and ammunition. Also, some 400 prisoners,
and several stand of colors, and a large quan
tity of good arms. My regiment fought in that
part of the field where Gen. Lyon was slain.
This is a just reward for the 35 women and
children butchered by him on the 10th of
May, in St. Louis. I will furnish you a list
of the killed and wounded as soon as possi
ble.
S. T. HUGHES.
Mr. Hughes, in a postscript, adds :
We have lost a great number of our officer*,
I will name some of them : General Slack, se
verely wounded ; General Weightman, killed;
Lieutenant-Colonel Augustin, of Col. B. A.
Rives’ regiment, killed ; Col. B. J. Brown, of
Ray, killed ; Capt. Blackwood of Carroll, kill
ed ; Capt. Enyard, of Rives’ regiment, kill
ed, and my own brother ; Capt. Bainbridge,
of Clinton, wounded severely. Captain Thom
as McCarty, of Clay county, severely woun
den, and a great many more. About forty
others of my regiment, including the Clay
county battalion, have been buried on the bat
tle field. Amos Stoat killed; R. D. Kelley
and James Porter and Samuel Brooking,
wounded, and a great many more whom I can
not now mention.
Genera! Lyon’s dead body was given up to
his chief Burgeon. We have more prisoners
than we know what to do with, )Ve cannot
feed them. They have been treated well, and
all their sick and wounded kindly cared for—
their surgeons were invited to come in af
ter their defeat and attend to the wounded, ev
erywhere begging for help and for water. I
have never before witnessed such a heart ren
ding scene—State, Federal and Confederate
troops in one red ruin blent on the field—en
emies in life, in death friends, relieving each
other's agonies and sufferings.
The St. Louie Republican gives a list of the
names of the killed, wounded and missing of
the First Missouri Regiment, from it appears
77 were killed, f’3 seriously wounded, 125 not
seriously, and 17 prisoners and musing ; to
tal 313 out of <2O composing the regiment
when it went into battle.
As the detail* of the dear bought victory to
the arms of the South at Oak Hill are receiv
ed, the terrible vigor and bravery of Ameri
cans are appreciated. Seigel and bis column
of foreigners were easily overcome. So easi
ly, ia fact, that the Republican correspondents
accuse them of Jlesffeetiou, “and of having
been derelict of their duty.” When the lowa
and Louisiana Regiments met, then eame the
“tug of war.” They nearly decimated each
other, and finally drew off s« by mutual con
sent. The St. Louie “ Republican" has fur
ther detail* of the fight, including a list of the
name as far aa known, of the killed, wounded
and missing in several of the Yankee regi
ments engaged, as follows:
Regiments. Killed. Missing. Wounded.
Ist Kansas, 77 20 191
2nd Kansas, 5 7 59
Ist Missouri, 19 9 52
2nd Missouri, 15 231 2
Mounted Rifles, 4 3
2nd Infantry, &c., 20 6 39
Total, 136 277 374
The following indication of the spirit of the
Missouri people is from a St. Louis correspon
dent of the Cincinnati “Enquirer:”
Almost the whole of Missouri may now be
considered in a state of rebellion. Parties of
guerillas infest many of the counties, driving
away Union citizens and destroying the com
munication. As soon as the peoople can get
arms, the whole State will rise. This will
soon be the case, as it is believed the Confed
erates intend to send a force of 40, or 50,000
here from Texas and Tennessee and the cot
ton Slates, which, with the force they will
get here, will give employment to as large an
army as the Government has about Washing
ton.

Headquarters Western Army, ]
Camp near Springfied, Mo., j-
August 12lh, 1861, J
The General commanding takes great pleas
ure in announcing to the army under his com
mand the signal victory it hasjust gained.
Soldiers of Louisiana, of Arkansas,
of Missouri, and of Texas :
Nobly have you sustained yourselves, shoul
der to shoulder. You have met the enemy
and driven him before you. Your first battle
has been glorious, andyour General is proud
of you.
The opposing force composed mostly of the
old regular army of the North, have thrown
themselves upon you, confident of victory,
but by great gallantry and determined cour
age, you have entirely routed it with great,
slaughter. Several pieces of artillery and many
prisoners are now in your hands. The com
mander-in-Chief of the enemy is slain, and
many of the general officers wounded. The
flag of the Confederacy now floats over Spring
field, the stronghold. The friends of our
cause who have been imprisoned there are re
leased. While announcing to the army the
great victory, the General hopes that the lau
rels you have gained will not be tarnished by
a single outrage. The private property of
citizens of either party must be respected.—
Soldiers who fought as you did day before
yesterday cannot rob or plunder.
By order of
ben. McCullough.
James Mclntosh,
Captain Confederate States Army,
and Adjutant General.
TO THE PEOPLE OF MISSOURI.
Having been called by the Governor of your
State to assist in driring the Federal forces
out of the State and in restoring the people to
their just rights, 1 have come among you simp
ly with the view of making war upon our
Northern foes, to drive them back. I give
the oppressed of your State an opportu ity
of again standing up as freemen and uttering
their true sentiments.
You have been overrun and trampled upon
by the mercenary hordes of the North. Your
beautiful State has been nearly subjuga'ed.but
those true sons of Missouri who have contin
ed in arms, together with my force, came
back upon the enemy, and we have gained
over them a great and signal victory. Their
General in chief is slain, and many of their
other general officers wounded. Their army
is in full flight, and now if the true men of
Missouri will rise up and rally around their
standard, the State will be redeemed
1 do not come among you to make war up
on any of your people, whether|Union or oth
erwise. The Union people will be protected
in their rights and property. It is earnestly
recommended to them to return to their
homes. Prisoneis of the Union party who
have been arrested by the army will be re
leased, and allowed to return to their friends.
Missouri must be allowed to choose her own
destiny. No oaths binding your consciences,
will be administered. I have driven the ene
my from from among you. The time has now
arrived for the people of the State to act.—
You cannot longer procrastinate. Missouri
must now take her position, be it North or
South.

A Letter from Ex-Gov. Johnson.
Mr. Editor: I regret that absence from
home, on Tuesday, the 20th instant, prevent
ed me from attending the meeting, to appoint
delegates to the convention, at Milledgeville,
on the 11th of September. It would have sav
ed the necessity of this communication.
I duly appreciate the honor of being ap
pointed one of the delegates to represent, this
county,and I thank my fellow-citizens for such
an expression of their confidence.
As far as I can learn from the public press,
the contest for the nomination will be person
al, not interesting to the public. I have no
heart to participate in such a controversy. —
All the gentlemen suggested as proper candi
dates for the Executive office, are capable and
' worthy ; and lam not informed, from any
source, that they differ in opinion, upon any
question of political principle or policy.
It is now important, that we should exhibit
ourselves as a united people, not only in rela
tion to our Confederate, but also our State
policy. With this view, it would be gratify
ing to see public opinion concentrated upon a
single man for Governor; and if the propos
ed convention would effect that object, 1 would
cheerfully serve as a delegate from this coun
ty. But it is quite certain, that such will pot
be the case. If all the aspirants would sub
mit their claims to the convention, and agree
to abide its decision, then, indeed, would pub
lic opinion be concentrated. But there is no
such agreement. If I understood Governor
Brown’s position,he is virtuallyan independent
candidate ; he will not be bound by the ac
tion of the Convention, and therefore, his
name, I presume, will not be before it. But
the Convention will nominate, which will in
sure two candidates, at least, in the field.
There will probably be a large portion of
the people unrepresented in the Convention.
Whether from indifference or negligence, or
positive disapproval of the Convention, it
matters not; but being unrepresented, they
will not feel bound to abide its nomination
This will probably bring out a third—possibly,
several other candidates. Hence, the result,
in the end will be simply this: every man trill
vote ae may please him, irrespective of the action
of the Conveneion.
These reflections induce ma to decline a J
tseat injthe proposed Conveni ion. 1 prefer not ,
to participate in the contest for the nomina
tion. Under the existing circumstances, I will
not be trammelled. The times will demand the
devoted patriotism of every citizen, and un
der the guidance of such a conviction, I shall >
vote for that man, for the Executive Office, *
whose elevation I may deem best calculated I
to promote the public welfare, irrespective of
all pariisaan or personal considerations.
