Yesterday morning before 10 o'oloolc, Col
Lee reeeifed a dispatch from Major Rowland
■rating that the Yankee. cavalry were at Gads
den, A'a, (on the Coosa Hear, at the corner
of Ihfi four counties of Cherokee, DeKalb, St.
Clair, and Benton, say 60 or 60 miles below
Rome.)
The di?patch of Mej. R wae from Marietta,
the neareet telegraph station—whither he had
Dome on sn engine to tend it. It stated
that a messenger had oome from Gadsden to
Rome, and from Roms on the Railroad down
to Kingston, and that it was expected the en
■einy would proceed at onoe to Rome te destroy
Noble’- Iron Works, on the river below, and
the valuable work shops at Rome. Later in
the day a dispatch was received that they had
passed by Rome, and were to the south fce
tween that point and Kingston. We also heard
it reported that a body of tho enemy were
approaobing via Cedartown, but we saw no
dispatob to that effect, and suppose it was not
correct f
It was then supposed they were aiming at
the bridge and Iron Works at Etowah. Col
Lee, with all thv. remained of the Provost
Guard ami srmc cibtra, taking two pieces of
ariilUrv, took the train at 7 P M., intending
1n go the def- n«e of the bridge and tho Iron

The necessity for again turning them loose
is overwhelmingly apparent. The Yeokees
have of late turned loose their cavalry in
large numbers, who have done immehse mis

anting under specific orders can meet them.

We annex the following interesting private
letter from Cspt C A Smith, Conducter on the

Cendant, which we received by the hand ot our
friend Mark Hason, and return our thanks to
captain Smith and Mr Stillwell for the privelege
of publishing it.
Kikostor, May 3d, 1563.
Mr. C. H. Stillwell—Dear Sir :
I learned thia evening that the Yanks were
below Rome and that our men needed reinforce
ments. I then ran the ttain to Rome from thia
place to carry about men, and have just re
turned. having learned the following particulars:

To the Editors of the Southern Confederacy :
Your editorial of yesterday is the first ad
rise I had ot the very unjust attack upon my
motives, by a writer in the Intelligencer, over
the signature of “ Fulton.’’
The mere act of justice yon have done me
in repelling it, entitles you to my thanks ; not
for the reason that I am wounded or feel ex-
prsed, but that the best of causes may not
suffer l>y a blind attempt to divert attention
from the true issue before the country.

shown that money or honors, or the desire of

“Fulton” writes as if he thought I hoped,
desired, or sought or would ask for or ex
peoted, the Endorsement of the State of Geor
gia on Bonds which I hold of the Confederate
Government, and therefore advocated the en
dorsement of Bonds, as asked for by that
Government.
He is entirely mistaken. That cannot re
salt or be asked for, or expected, if our State
should agree to endorse, as rsquasted.
■ He writes as if he thought the Confederate
Government had asked tke State of Georgia
to endorse these Bonds, and such others as
have been issued.
This would have been verv idle and un-.
called for, and ought not to be done. Simply
because tho holders of Bonds already issued
took them freely and of choice, and may be
content to bold or use them, as best they can,
they have no o’aim on either Government

L*lo in the afternoon of Ihe 21st intit , tho
astounding intelligence reached Gen. Helm,
commanding at Maneliester, that a force of
Fed orals bad surprised McMinnville, captured
the plooe, and wore continuing their work of
destruction on the railroad, even venturing
within ten miles of Manchester. Night set in
dark and rainy, yet by ten o’clock the Ken-
tncky brigade was marching merrily and with
brisk steps towards Morrison’s bridge. The
artil'ery and terrible roadlrdalaycd our march,
and we did not reach our destination until
near daylight, when wo formed in line of bat
tle, but the Yankees had departed. After rest
ing in a drenching rain, for an hoar, we took
up our lino of march for camp, where wo ar
rived at noon. •,
Arrangements for another march were im
mediately commenced, and early next morning
the brigade moved to meet the enemy, who was
threatening that point. No meeting occurred,
however, as he had retired before our ad
vance
Gen. Helm is in command of the troops at
this place. Col. Thos. Hunt commands the
Kentucky brigade. All are ready for and ex
pecting a fight, but a general engagement is
not more imminent that for weeks past. The
Federal piokets in this direction extend about
five miles from Murfreesboro’.
