ATLANTA, GEORGIA:
TUESDAY, AUGUST 19. 18G2.
AlDitM DAILY CSRil LA'I iuA II' THfc STA1E.
A Trip lo H Bukerdom and Bock-
We hare just been bigti y entertained by
oar fellow-citizen, Dr. F. 11- Oeme, who has
recited to us bis adventures during a jou.ney
to New York and back. lie left J ere about
the 10th of July, end returned Sunday morn
ing at 2 i/cIock—having been absent some 36
days. He went to bring away from Yankee
Lind a couple of true Southern ladies of this
3i«te, who have been detained in the North
fir & year, unable to return to their homes.—
It wr.s a hazardous undertaking, and only a
}r.<7e, self-po.-setsed spit it, prompted by gal
lon iy in behalf of persecuted and oppressed
3outhern ladies, could have had had tbs cour
age to take the bold Biep which he did.
His plan, when ho left here, wa3 to nakohis
way through tbs country from Chattanooga,
via MoMinn-rille to Nash villa, and from thence
proceed by r^'road to New York city Ar
rived in Cnattanooga, he proceeded to tbs of
fice of O n. , cxpllined the object of
his errand to the North, exhibited his vouch-
£T8, So. The General at once very politely
gavo him a pass to go beyond tho lines of the
Confederate army.
la order to faoiiitaio his travel from Chatta
nooga to Nashville, as well as his return, the
Doctor carried with him, from this city, his
fine horse, which our citizens have often no
ticed and admired. Armed with Lis passport
and other proper “fixias,” he mounted his
horse and put out across the river, through
the mountains, on his perilous journey. He
was often stopped by our pickets and officers,
but the exhibition of his pass secured for him
not only free passage, but ©very assistance
that could be rendered. So ho went on to
McMinnvilte, through which he passed safely,
but was stopped by General Forrest’s pickets
beyond, who sail they had orders from the
Gen. not to let any oce pass upon any showing
or consideration whatever, whereupon he wt $
compelled to turn back to the town. While
talking with the pickets, one man, who had
jugt joined Gen. Forrest’s command, took a
fancy to the Doctor’s horse, and forcibly
swapped with him. He tried to console the
Doctor by telling him that he, as a good South
ern man, could not object to furnishing a needy
Southern seldier with a good horse. The Doc
tor was forced to ride back to town on the sol
dier man’s poor horse, while the said newly
fledged soldier rode the Doctors horse away in
triumph. When this transaction canoe to Gen.
foTrest’e knowledge, be disapproved of the
horse presser't proceeding, and had the Doctor’s
fine animal returned.
On reporting to Head Quarters, Gen F. tcld
the Doctor that he had unconditional orders
from Chattanooga not to let any one pass his
lines; and notwithstanding Gen. ’s pass
which the Doctor had, he felt bound to detain
him till further orders. Next morning how
ever, Gen. F., walking along the street; met
the Doctor, tcld him that the Yankees would
attack the place in a few hours; that he was
determined to fight them, and advised the Dr.
to leave. He thanked tho General, but pro
posed to remain till the fight was over, if he
could be of uuy service to him or his men in
the capacity of a physician. Tho Gen. duly
appreciated this proposition, and would have
been glad of his sarvlocc, but felt it his duty
to adviae him to puoh cn wbilo he might,
whereupon he mounted end proceeded on his
way.
Ho had net travebd far, when he wi'4*
a friend who shall fcs cam^lczo for the present.
He advised the Doctor not to 30 to Nashville,'
but to Gallatin, and take tho cars at that point.
This was fortunate. Col. B-ono’s regiment cf
Yankee Kentuckians was at Gallatin, but the
stringent regulations which existed about
Nashville were not. Accompanied by this
friend he found no difficulty in passing tho
pickets and gettiug Into Gallatin. This friend
aleoprooured a place for huu to keep his horse,
where he was not disturbed till his return—-
though the Yankees had, in the neao time,
pressed every fins hone belonging to parsona
of itetsh proolivttics. He took the cars with
out molestation, and thus proceeded through
Louisville, Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleavelaad,
Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Albany, to
Now York City, where he arrived at a late
hour in the night, pul ing up at the —
House.
Next morning as soon as breakfast w&3
over, he went out in quest of the ladies. From
a friend, he teamed that they, finding an op
portunity to get away, had left there but two
days before, intending to try by some means
to work their way South alone? Ha was ad
vised not to try to intercept them by telegraph
from that place, but to return by night train
and telegraph them from seme other point.
He ate w net how tar they had jroceeded nor
where they would stop, or a: what hotel they
Would put up in any city in which they might
Slop overnight, but judging from the time
they had been on the road, and all the circum
stances, as b-.-at he could, he telegraphed them
from ——, to tbs oars of the Galt House, Lou
isville. Fortunately they were there! and the
dispatch reaohed them eoiely, without exciting
Rnj body’s suspicions. With joyful beans
these lauios tamed till he came. He stayed
‘-here a dsy to arrange plant with some friends,
and take a little rest. H.‘ learned that no one
could proceed South without having their bag
gage se&rchod. He went to the proper official
‘he evening before, told him nc wished to g
-a Nasavi.e the next morning with a couple , yi or(tar
cf ladies; tout ho wculi take it as & special ;
fox such trouble besides Toe official louktu
upon the Doctor's handsome, honest *ace w.t
a smile and ocid, “I gtteca J c - rc a /'- r ; s “V,
we'll let you pass without any examination.
The Doctor thanked hie, but said ho desired
the examination to be made, if tLe official was
net perfectly satisfied He said he was sans-
fl -d, and gave directions to one of bis assis,-
aatato see that his baggage was passed w.th
out examination tho next morning. This ar
rangement was fu Iy complied with, and be
got away from Louiavihe without any
culty. ,,
Arriving at Gallatin, fie found his horse all
right. He hired an omnibus to carry the la
dies end trunks as far as Cumberland Kiver,
about 10 milts. Ho was ferried across, where
he hired an cx cart to errry the ladies and
! t.unkfl to Lebanon, Tennessee, say IS miles —
Here he purchased another horse and a small
covered jersey wagon, capable cf affording
seats for all and taking their trunks. Thus
equipped, he started out through the most un
frequented passes in the mountains to escape
the Fedcrals, whose cavalry were going to and
fre through the country. He was exceeding
ly fortunate in not meeting up with any or
them. Ad two town3 he narrowly escaped
tnem. They were barely out of sight when he
came into one, and at the other he was barely
cut of sight when they come in.
At a hotel where they were staying one night,
a Federal officer oame up., and demanded of
the hotel keeper supper for his command, with
which he enforced compliance. He howsver
kept his men out of the town, and neither the
Doctor nor his horses were discovered.
The exact route he travelled we will not in
dicate. He passed over the most rugged and
sparsely populated country in Tennessee.—
Often the ladies were compelled to walk up
tho steep mountains—the herses being able
only to puli the wagon and the trunks. O.ten
neither they nor the horses could get an} thing
to eat. Ones the horses had nothing for 24
hours. This was owing to the sparse popula
tion, and also to the cavalry scouts of both
sides having exhausted the country of every
thing that a horse could eat.
Stopping at a hotel in a village cue night,
this side of the section frequented by the
Yankees, and considering themselves sate,
they were aroused and somewhat alarmed at a
late hour of the night by an officer with a
scuad of men riding up and rapidly asking a
number of hard questions. The Doctor looked
out and saw the officer finely mounted, having
on a full blue Yankse uniform. The lady of
the house was in great distress when the Doc
tor and the ladies arri?ed in the evening, say*
ing a gang of rebel marauders, but a few
hours before had arrested and carried away
her husband, (a Union man,) and she was
afraid they had hung him. 3he was now in
still greater trepidation. The officer demand
ed if any one was stopping at the house, and
was informed that a strange gentleman with
two ladies was there. The offie-.r demanded
to see the gentleman at once.
Several citizens of the viliaga Bad collected
at the hotel to try to find out who the strange
gentleman and ladies were, and where they
wer« going to, but had not directly approach
ed the Doctor cn the subject. When he came
out in compliance with the officer’s demands,
they at once gathered around to hear his story
and learn what they so much desired. The of
ficer, however, called the Doctor to accompa
ny him &;ide alone, directing the crowd to re
main where they were. The officer then ask
ed the Doctor who he was, who the ladies
were, where they were going, &.o. fie replied
frankly, telling him all—that he was from At
lanta, giving ijis real name, and concealing
nothing of his Identity or objeots. As soon as
the officer was satisfied cf the truth of his
statements, h.3 extended his hand, grasping
the Doctor’s most cordially, saying, "My name
u Monoaif. X am happy to meet you. You
are the very xnan above all other, whom I
could haTe wished to find.”
He then made particular inquiry &3 to the
strength cf the federate at Gallatin and the
vicinity; informed the Doctor he was going
there to destroy the Louisville & Nc^hville R
B., burn up the trestle work, blow up the tun
nel If possible, and do whatever he might find
necessary or proper in his line. Morgan told
him that ho would be at Gallatin on Saturday
or Sunday, tho Sth cr 10th of this month.—
Before reaching Loudon, on the East Tennes
see $ Georgia Railroad, he heard that Galla
tin was taken by the rebels ca Sunday, and
felt sure it was dene by Morgan. The Doctor
says Morgan hal only 800 men with him, and
that Col. Boone with a regiment was at Galla
tin ; but he gave it tc Morgan as his opinion
that Boone’s men were ao muoh dissatisfied at
th* abolition features the war has lately as
sumed, and cn that account so much demoral
ized, that his force could be easily overcome
by them. Morgan coincided in this view, and
said he was bound to accomplish the work. We
have no doubt he did it effectually on Sunday
the 10th inst.
The Doctor learned that it was Morgan’s
men who had arrested the Union hotel keeper,
and inquired what he was arrested for, and
wha: would be done with him. Morgan told
him the scamp was arrested, only to prevent
his running off and giving the Federate infor
mation of his passing through; that as soon
as they had taken him to a point where he
could give no information to the enemy in
time to do any mischief, he would bs released.
The Doctor’s two horses and his Jersey, will
be here, we understand, to-day. We want to
take a good look at that wagon. He brought
home a number of Louisville and Cincinnati
1 papers, from whioh we have extracts to-day,
i and wili have more tomorrow. We return him
our thanks, and we sincerely congratulate him
i and the ladies on their success in this bold
i undertaking.

D&ar Confederacy 1
8iace my last I have been abia to gain hut
few particulars of tha fight at Tezewell, or 6s
It is m‘re appropriately called, vValden’s Eidge.
Thii 1 hope is good news to all your readers
I cannot na°* by w.thout adding a mite in
praiBa of tbe 8-i Tttnt-s>?ee r.ginent, tvhicb
actually p it to fl ght six or stven Federal reg-
im at-* The boys say now that they have run
a gouvl many quarter races, and jumped ever
mmy f. nee-, tut the Yankees are so skilled in
tiiese two gymnastic ieat3, that they have
y’eided the palm as gracefully as possible.—
Well done gallant Tennesseeans! Keep your
armcr bright and your powder dry i The Gen-
9.al siys ho has a use for such rebels! Ken
tuckians over tho way are anxious to see them,
and I am told that the people are lying in am
bush ready to demolish such fighters with plen
ty of gcod things ts eat, and h&nHsome ladies
to 3mile upon our invasion of that State, which
is equivalent to an invasion of their hearts.—
Enough though, boys. It is sufficient for you
all to know that you belong to the gallant
THIRD.
I find, on enquiry, that no regiments were
actually engaged except the 3d Tennessee and
42d Georgia, and the last named only had a
chance to fire a few shots; so the friends of
the other regiments and battalions composing
the divish n, can readily perceive the folly of
making a noise when the eiephant has already
passed the village. A remarkable circum-
satnee in connection with this brilliant little
affair, ia the perfect amazement of the Union
sympathizer? at our success; and even up to
ibis da e they believe the Federate are not
whipptd there, and that not one of their vile
carca-o pcliuie oursoii. Strange infatuation 1
On inquiry, aud from a conver?aticn with the
Geneial, it is ascertained that the sequel was
a disorder y lout—a shameful Bull Run affair
revived. They scattered like a covey of
frightened birds, and me scattered all over the
country.. Prisoners are being oaptured where
least expected, eight being brought in beyond
Tazewell.
This affair has brought to light the toryism
of the inhabitants of Tazewell, who heretofore
hurrahed f r our Confederacy, and in turn
gave three cheers for old Abe. One of these
feliows ia named Sterne. Now, Sterne is a
Dutchman, to be sure and Sterne is a Jew,
too ; and Sterne had goods in Tazewell; and
our boys bought good* of Sterna, and paid
him large prices for them ; but when we left
the Gap, Sterne was indisposed to travel with
us jus: then; so his Federal friends came
along; and Sterne went to tbs Federal towns
and bought largely of Yankee goods, and sold
some to the tone;*. • But in an evil hour, poor
abused Sterne heard the sheila whizxiDg over
his house, and he prayed the Federate to let
him go through their lines; bui no, they
wished him to see the effects of a few rounds.
The town was carried ; the loyalists shouted;
Sterne ran 5 Sterne was caught; and the boys
have got Sterne’s goods. Alas, poor Sterne I
He will never more Bee peace ia Abraham's
bosom! The Gentiles are a wicked psopl-o to
treat Sterne so i
Old Gen. Conscript te raising a row about
here just now, and I am fee.rful of more ~ray-
ers ascending to Andy fSr nelp. '*Now that
Brownlow and Maynard and Neteon hav9 de
serted the toriea, whut can they do? {t has
been ascertained, beyond a doubt, that the
conscript law wiil be enforced in East Tennes
see. Congress, althcngh it meets on the 18th,
does noi have to enact a law especially for
them The fiat went forth the same day as in
other sections, but through leniency, nci poio-
er, it was stayed for awhde in East Tennessee.
I predict, therefore, as I said before, that the
East Tennesseeans will have to fight or leave
the country A few bold patriots have already,
and even lrom the beginning of the,contest,
shouldered the musket, and the more honor to
them for it. Posterity will declare them bless
ed, but eternal infamy to those who will not
aid us iu this struggle. Enough conscripts
can be had ia this section of Tennessee to
make an army cf Gd.OOO able fighting men.—
N- commanding General can annul a law of
C--tigress, especially as binding as this, but
the enemy will have to be met by them, and
he consequences rest upon them if defeated.
Their ;r.voritt3, hi. y nard ana others, havevo-
t«d away what lew negroes they have of these
people. Many, to tbeir credit, are yielding to
the policy of common souse, aud at la-tt repj*
dialing Lincoln aud the Union. Great men
umy say whet they please about retaliation 5
cut thosa of Ev-t Tennessee who ars truly
represented by Menard, fhould have all their
property oonnsoated, or fc@ compelled at once
to leave tho country.
1 need only cito you to the doings of the
Federate in a large portion of Virginia, and
th# operations of the confiscation act as pass
ed by the Federal Congress. Is it not a Pier-
pout government hero, only without a Gover
nor; and even now they say Andy is tbs Chief
Executive for Tennessee. Think of it, wise
men 1 Uavo we not a Pierpont rule in our
very midst T If a black republican and a se
cessionist were before the people a9 candidates
for Governor in East Tennessee—I will taae
Pierpont himself—whioh would be elected,
think you ? 1 say, hurra for old General Con
script ; and I hope the day is not far distant
wh8h his presence will bo fell here. Hurry
up, old fel I Bring your enrolling boys, pitoh
your tents, and stay with us awhile.
In my next I may address you from another

through the columns of your Eag.e, to correc
one orttto of the many ml-repicsentationa be
ing made in this community by Mr Clark, 0
the Qaeette, relative to a speech l made on
Saturday to a meeting cf tne Democracy 0
B?ru township. . ,
Mr. Clark is representing me as having
counseled the Democrats of Bern township not
to enlist in the army, and if drafted, to
even at the point ot the bavoaeu Out oa the
more than one hundred Democrats present
on that occasion, I am sure that there is not
one who so understood my meaning. VYhat i
said wa3 substantially this: That whilst th^s
war was prosecuted for the putting down ot
rebellion, and the " maintenance of the Con
stitution a3 ft is, and the Union as it was >
tho Democracy would ireeiy bhod their blood,
and lioeraily give their money, but so soon as
it ceased to‘be a war for the suppression of re
bellion, and becams on abolition war, no De-
mociat would be found wibin? tc volunteer.—
1 further remarked that the Government in all
probability mould make a diajt for soldiers, and
that that arafting would be in the hands of R-
pubheans / that the party would want to keep
Republicans at home to vote, and want to send
Democrats cway so that they could not vote, and
that no fair draft would be made 3 and that if
any Democrat behaved that he had been fraudu
lently drifted, he would rfuss to yo. and that
then a f./e of so 'dices wov.la be sent after him, and
that under such circumstances he would resist,
even at the point if the bayonet, and that tu this
way civil war would be brought upon us */« Ohio.
Not cue word was said as auvising resistance,
but ail was told as a vision of what would be
luture events.
Now, Mr. Editor, let ms repeat, as a warn
ing to the llepu Doans, that no unleir or fraud
ulent drafting will be submitted to. A word
to the wise 3hould be sufficient.
Yours, respectfully,

You will only be doing 7cur duty if you
blow our (Kentucky) miluary authorities to
■ L * ond back lor their iacompetency
and ^inefficiency in permit;ing Morgan to
escape from our Stats. a, TSi) the laei is,
Morgan went out at his lei-uro, taking one
thousand horses, army wagons, and the d—1
knows what all besides. Tho cnly good fea
ture about tho whole thing (nc thaa£s to cur
military men,} is that be did net get ever one
hundred recruits to join him.
Morgan’s escape te a burning shams, Mor
gan did not have over eight hundred men when
ne entered our State, and he left with no in
crease of numbers, having lost in killed, woun
ded and prisoners, as many as he got new re
cruits.
There is no truth in the rspert which you
published, that some fifty of Qalonel Metcalfe’s
men deserted and joined Morgan. A similar
story was started about Wolford’s Cavalry, at
Wildcat, which was a base slander, and, by
