A very amusing and highly indignant card appeared in the Intelligencer of the 16th inst., signed John Ennis, denouncing the editors of this journal as "malicious falsifiers,” &e., in locating the late stabbing affray between Thur man and Pat Ennis at his doggery on Decatur street —charging us with an attempt to injure his business, &c. Our informant was Mr. Henry B. Latimer, an old and highly respectable citizen, whose mistake was in the name of the man who kept the doggery. He got the impression that En nis kept the establishment where the difficul ty occurred. Mr. Latimer is not familiar with the localities of such establishments or the names of the men who keep them, as he is not a frequenter of drinking saloons. One of the parties to the difficulty was named Ennis—a brother, and an old bar-tender of John, the "saloon" man. His mistake was a very nat ural one—such as most men would be most likely to make under similar circumstances.— We gave no particulars of the affray. We stated its occurrence only. We presumed its cause to be liquor. The place where it occur red —a drinking establishment— sufficiently in dicated that. The mistake in the name of the man who kept the place was the error of our informant. We did nothing extenuate, or set down aught in malice; and no man in this community will accuse Mr. Latimer of know ingly making an incorrect report—let alone with a design to injure any one. We consider this explanation due to our readers and the public, who do not know Mr. Ennis. We consider the delectable epithets which he applies to us unworthy of notice where he is known—especially do we consider the man who penned his card as beneath con tempt. Slight Discrepancy. Gen. Henry R. Jackson, in his Official Re port of the Green Brier fight, on the 3d inst., says be had seven killed, thirteen missing and thirty wounded. He says his own force was 2,500. He estimates the force of Reynolds at 5,000, and the loss of the enemy at upwards of 200 killed. But Reynolds, too, has made a report, which has found its way into the Northern journals. He says he obtained a glorious victory. The rebels were routed and pursued. He says he only lost ten killed and eleven wounded ; his force was 5,000 and Jackson’s 15,000; and he says he killed over five hiindred of the rebels. What must be the reflections of a disinter* ested man, a foreigner for instance, who has no means of knowing the truth ? But we know that Reynolds has lied in some things—about routing and pursuing Jackson. A man who is such a liar as this, will not hes itate to tell any other lie that may suit his purposes. Judge Bull's Sentence of the Wil sons, Convicted of the Killing of Thomas Terry. PRISONERS AT THE Bar : You have been placed at the Bar of this Court to receive the fearful sentence which the law prescribes as the penalty of that crime of which you stand convicted by the solemn verdict of your peers. Few more revolting scenes have ever been witnessed within the walls of a Court of Jus tice than the one now presented here. A father and a son ’. standing together before the seat of a judgment to hear the doom which the vi olated law demands as the punishment of their unhappy deeds! I would that I could have been spared this scene, and the performance of this painful duty. I would that the evi dence had shown your hands unstained by the blood of the unfortunate victim of your evil and uncontrolled passions. And I doubt not that those good men and true, would, had the proof allowed them, have gladly rendered such a verdict as would have restored to you your liberty and your good name. But the stern obligation of an oath was upon them, a true verdict to find, according to the evidence, and the same stern obligation is now on me to pronounce the judgment in accordance with the verdict. I may, and do, sincerely com miserate your unhappy fate, but I have no power to avert it. Here, Justice is implaca ble and its demands imperative. It calls for the last scruple of the pound of flesh ‘‘nomi nated in the bond.” But I can, even in dis charging the stern duties of the Magistrate, direct you to another and far higher tribunal, where the ears of Mercy are never closed to the cries of true penitence; to that Being whose wisdom and power were alone adequate to devise a plan by which justice may be re conciled with the pardon of the guilty. It requires no supernatural ken to compre hend the causes which have led you both on in the dark and downward road which has ter minated in your ruin. The very instrument by which you sent your victim unbidden to to the presence of his Maker, too clearly in dicates the fatal agency which has brought you to the Bar of this Court, and will send you hence to your appointed doom.* It is the foul fiend of intemperance, who has so long desolated this earth and filled the dark cham bers of Hell with his shrieking victims. I say not these things to lacerate your al ready harrowed feelings, but that others who may be entering on the same fearful pathway, may take timely warning when they see the signboard which you have erected with its in dex pointing to that deep abyss into which you have fallen. Although you have been convicted of differ ent grades of homicide, and will, therefore, be doomed to different degrees of punishment, yet, all the fair prospects of this life are as effectually closed to the one as the other. — You, unfortunate old man! though you will be permitted to linger out the few remaining years that decaying nature and growing in firmities may allow you, yet the best of these will be languished out in wasting labor and confinement. And should there be a remnant left after the expiration of your sentence, they will be years of slow, consuming blight, cursed with the goadings of remorse at the reflection that you have brought misery and disgrace upon your own gray hairs, and by your unhappy teaching and example, igno miny and death upon 3 our own son. For upon your devoted bead, unhappy son of a wretch ed father, must fall a sharper and more ap palling doom than even that which awaits him. The sentence which I am now about to utter, will consign you to an untimely end and a felon’s grave. It behooves you. more especi ally, therefore, to turn your thoughts from this world, where not one ray of hope beams upon your short passage to the tomb, io that brighter one where sin and sorrow and death are unknown. Your eternal destiny bangs upon your employment of the few fleeting golden moments yet intervening between you and that dark bourne to which you are has tening. Let no delusive hopes of escaping the de mands of the law cause you to procrastinate your efforts to prepare to meet your God in peace ; for a preparation for death is the best preparation for life, even should you escape with life. And now, after this brief and kindly meant admonition, it only remains for me to pro nounce upon you both the dread sentence of the law. s Our readers will recollect that the Wilsons killed Terry by a blow on the head with a bot tle of liquor.---Eds. Confederacy. Our Special Army Correspondence. THE ARMY TO FALL BACK LONG LINE OF PICKETS NORTHERN NEWS TIGHT TIMES UP THERE ABOUT MONEY MC- CLELLAND’s EFFICIENCY HOW WE’vE BEEN SOLD BY HIS RUMORS IIIS FORCE ABOUT WASHINGTON OWNING UP WHIPPING THEM STANDING STILL VIS IT FROM SIR JAMES FERGUSON GEN. STUART. Army of the Potomac, 1 Fairfax Court House, Oct. 10, 1861. J There is no change to report in the position of affairs. I have heard of nothing to change the opinion expressed in my last letter, that the Confederates would fall back at an early day behind Bull Run. On the contrary, ma ny things have come to my knowledge to con firm that opinion. Os course, much depends upon the movements of the enemy; for we are ready to receive him here or at Bull Run. A line of pickets is stretched from Fortress Monroe to Kansas ; yet, we manage now and then to procure Northern Newspapers byway of the underground railroad. The last batch received brings us news that McClellan has been ordered to St. Louis in place of Fremont lately called to Washington for trial; and that Gen. Wool, who has been superseded at Fortress Monroe by Gen. Mansfield, will suc ceed McClellan in the command at Washing ton. Such is the rumor in Washington, Balti more and New York. Private advices are of a similar tenor. That such rumors are afloat, and that they have created no little excite ment beyond the Potomac, there can be doubt; but I am unable to say how much foundation there is for them, especially in regard to Mc- Clellan. We hear further, that much dissatisfaction exists among the bankers in Wall Street and throughout the North, on account of the hesi tating policy of McClellan. It is reported that they frankly admit, that neither they nor the country can stand a long war; and they claim that when they agreed to furnish means for the prosecution of the war, it was only on condition that short work should be made of it. These accounts are confirmed in substance by Maj. Gen. Smith and Brig. Gen. Lovell, who lately arrived here from New York, where they enjoyed the best possible facilities for getting reliable information. They represent the distress prevailing at the North, growing out of the derangement of commerce, the stagnation of business, the shortness of the grain crop, and the uneasiness of capital ists, to be almost incredible. Five days hence (the 15th of October) is the time by which the second instalment of SSO,- of Cobb. ..of Chatham. ..of Thomas ...of Gordon SOU THE RN CONFEDERACY 000,000 of the federal loan is to be paid. It may be that Wall Street is availing itself of the exigencies of the Government to extort from it greater vigor in the future prosecution of the war. And it inny be that Johnston and Beauregard have lain idle along the Potomac, in part at least, for the reason that an active campaign here might have stimulated the ef forts of Northern capitalists to assist their Government. It is evident that Mr. Lincoln can do but little without their cooperation. The money kings are not the least powerful potentates iu the land. Indeed, we hear they went so far on a recent occasion as to demand an early movement forward, and that Gen. McClellan replied that he would resign rather than undertake it. Sensible to the last. We are sorry to give up Fremont in the West; for his brutal policy and incompeten cy were of incalculable benefit to the Confed erate cause, in uniting the people of Missouri and Kentucky. We feel somewhat reconciled to the change by the announcement that Gen. Wool has been transferred to Washington. He and Gen. Scott, between whom there is a quar rel of long standing, will not be able to get on in harmony. McCllellau is the best officer, after General Scott, the enemy has. He has conducted the the campaign since his advent into Washing ton with great skill. He has managed to set rumors afloat in Richmond and the army of the Potomac, that he had an army of 150,000 men—that he would soon cross the river and attack us with a force of 100,000 troops—and that large fleets were about to sail from North ern ports to ravage our coasts and burn our cities. The object of all this bluster was to distract our councils, to divert from the Poto mac, Kentucky and Missouri the reinforce ments intended for those points, and to alarm the people along the whole Southern coast.— The affair at Hatteras was admirably planned to effect his purpose. That naval expeditions will be sent southward, there need be no doubt; but the season has not yet arrived for them to sail. The men who will go upon these expeditions cannot be spared until the campaign in this quarter lias been closed by the ice and snows of winter. How far McClellan has succeeded iu his plans, it is not for me to declare. I can on ly say we have good reason to conclude that be has no such force about Washington as he would have us believe. Since the battle of Manassas. 67,000 troops have passed through Baltimore on their way to Washington and points in Maryland. Nearly all the three months volunteers have returned home, and the regulars are scattered along the line from Fortress Monroe to St Louis. The forces, then, at and about Washington, cannot ex ceed much, if any, 75,000 tnra, many of whom are disabled by sickness. I cannot now give you my reasons for speaking so pos itively as to numbers. I have said, and still believe, that, an ac tive and offensive policy after the battle of Manassas, would have been the best; yet I am frank to confess that the opposite policy pursued by Johnston and Beauregard has not been without, its good results. If what we hear through the Northern press be true, then we are whipping the enemy by standing still. Their expenses are enormous, being about $8,500,000 per week. No nation cau stand such a drain as this long. Hence, the clamors of bankers and capitalists against McClellan. The prospect of the most fright ful suffering among the poorer classes this winter, only complicates the difficulties of the Government. Ships are rotting at their wharves, factories are idle, mechanics are out of employment, the poor are clamoring for bread, and bankers are restive and unea sy. The whole country groans and staggers under the mighty load which now presses its bended back. Meanwhile, our march is on ward in Kentucky and Missouri. But let us turn from these speculations to the events that are transpiring around us.— You will remember the account 1 gave you of the voluntary abandonment of Munson’s and Mason’s Hills by the Confederates. The evacuation took place at. night, and without the knowledge of the enemy. And yet the New York Herald and Tribune speak of it as a great Yankee victory, and say that a few more such affairs as that at. Munson’s Hill and Hatteras will bring the rebellion to an end. To what a straitened condition must these mendacious prints and people be re duced, when they thus catch at every pass ing straw to buoy up their sinking hopes ! We had a visit yesterday from Sir James Ferguson, a member of the British Parlia ment. He was an officer iu the Crimean War, is about thirty five years of age, and possesses great intelligence. He is a friend of Mr. Gregory, and brings letters to Gen. Toombs, Gen. Beauregard and others. I sus pect that bis visit has been made for the pur* pose of examining for himself into the actual condition of affairs in this country, with a view to the question of the recognition of our independence and the raising of the block ade by the British Government. He expects to return in time for therassembling ofPar liainent this winter. He seems to understand the difference between the Yankee and West ern man, and between the Southerner and both of them. He expressed himself with* out reserve and in the most friendly terms towards the Confederate States, and says he has been most favorably impressed with the bearing, the spirit and the intelligence of our volunteers. He represents that a large ma-. jority of the English people, and of Middle and Lower Canada are animated by the most friendly sentiments towards us. Western Canada, the refuge of escaped negroes, is more or less hostile in its feelings. Lord Lyons gave him a passport to cross the Po* tomac, which Mr. Seward countersigned, on the written condition that he should not vis* | it the insurrectionary States. This aroused his British spirit ; whereupon, he returned the passport to Mr. Seward and came around by the Western route. Col. Stuart, recently made a Brigadier General, has been appointed to the command of all the Cavalry in Virginia. A Our Special Macon Correspondence. CONVENTION PROCEEDINGS —BARNES IN A CONCERT. Macon, October 16. 1861. Messrs. Editors :— The Convention was opened with prayer by Rev. J. E. Evans. A number of new delegates arrived and re corded their names. B. S. Bibb and J. McNabb, of Ala.; R. 11. D. Sorrell of Texas and S. D. Heard, of Ga., were addtd to the Committee on Finance and Corn tnerce. Mr. W. McL. McKay made an interesting address on the manufacturing enterprise and mineral resources of North Carolina—exhib iting various specimens, <fco. The Standing Committee reported the fol . lowing resolut'ona on the Sequestration Act. Whereas, By the law of Nn'ionsdebis due to alien enemies are suspended, and bear no interest during the continuance of war. Resolved therefore., That in the opinion of this Convention, the Sequestration act adopt ed by the Confederate Congress at its recent session, should not require the payment of debts due by our citizens to alien enemies during the existence of the war ; but that it should require only the evidence of the in debtedness to be returned, and placed upon record by the receiver. That in cases, wherein the debtor to an alien enemy is also a claimant of indemnity for damage sustained by the act or acts of the government of the United States, or of the people thereof, the balance (when against the citizen of the Confederate States) should alone be the amount demanded. That the Sequestration act should take effect at. aud from the date of its passage, and not from the 21st of May as now provided. That the Government of the Confederate States having assumed the place of the alien creditor of the Confederate debtor, should stand on the same footing with all other cred itors. The Committee also reported the following for the action of the Convention : Resolved, That the Insurance Companies throughout the Confederacy be respectfully recommended to insure the Cotton stored by the Planters in the towns of the interior, or on their plantations, to the extent of three* fourths of the market value of the day. Mr. Trenholm, of Charleston, recommended a modification of the usary laws. This was postponed indefinitely. Mr. Bibb, of Alabama, offered a resolution that the State Legislatures be requested to le galize the suspension of specie payments by ths banks for two years after the close of the war, provided the banks would advance to the planters five cents per pound on cotton. Mr. Palmer, of South Carolina, offered a res olution that the Confederate government be requested to advance the planters three fourths the value of their cotton. Mr Fowlkes, of Tennessee, offered a resolu tion,-that Congress make an advance in Treas ury notes to those planters who have subscrib ed to the Confederate loan, of one-fourth or one half the arm unt subscribed. A lengthy discussion ensued, participated in by Messrs. Palmer, Trenholm, Lamar, Lee, Green, Deßow, Gray, McKay, aud others. All the resolutions offered by individuals were then laid on the table, and the original resolutions of the Committee adopted with great unanimity. We have a grand concert to-night at Rals ton’s Hall, in which your man, W. H. Barnes, Esq., figures largely. He is announced in the posters and small bills as the original dixie of the Confederate States. Hurrah for Billy Barnes. We shall have a full house. On next Tuesday a B.ble Convention meets in the city to organize a State Bible Society, to be auxilliary to a General Society for the Confederate States. We expect a large attend ance. More anon.
