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 "Works, or to any other point where his pres ence might be needed.

With ail due deference to the pow era that be, and to the commanding Generals, we would remind them and the country that when these men were at large to go when and whefe they pleased, and Jo what they thought test -operating only under general and not epecifio orders, and with no one to command them -they accomplished much; and every body knows that they nave accomplished but liule, and have even-met with mishaps, eince they were placid under t he command of others With the energy and watchfulness ef Morgan and Forrest—fre i to go where they'can snuff out danger, or see an o'pporfunity to burl-JLbe- enemy, we shall have the gdftd old.days of the efficiency of Confederate cavalry -re inaugu rated. . 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 ehief. They must be met, but no body of men anting under specific orders can meet them.

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.

It is for everybody’s benefit in general, and for whose benefit par ticularly I will endeavor to show in my neXt letter.' Iu writing, hereoifore, I have left the argument, to the public speaker, because it Jsa* not “answered." I simply endeavored to show that reaeons assigned for not endors ing were not sound, and were founded in die trust of the Government, or would be so viewed by all nations and thinking mon. This direct assault on my personal motives will excuse me for saying a word concerning myself, with a ri quest of the paper that pub lished it to publish nfy letters in reply. It bus become a matter of public notoriety that I sold the Etowah property, and r ceived in piyment Confederate Bonds and Confede rate Notes, in equal proportions. 1 give my creditors choice, and without exception they took the notes. What little remained to mg was in bonds) and more people by far now owe me than I owe Everything due to me oan be I aid in tbl; money. But one man has refused to lake that money for a debt I owed.

I do, I trust he will perceive what is right for him to do. - / Firat, let him be assured that I want noth ing that he or the country can bestow, save a true and hearty support by men and money of the Confederate government, in its struggle for existence and independence. I would have nothing else which they can give. “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 until ibe Bonds become duo Then, (accord ing to the views of the opponents of endorse ment,) both Governments wtU be bound to pay the Bonds. “Fulton" writes as if be thought the money to be rieed by Bonds to be endorsed by the State wcnld be for the paymenLof Bonds T held, and such as have been issued. Thia could not be expeoted or aeked, simply because these Bout’s ere not payable for twenty years, and there are Treasury Notes, due and payable on demand, in the hands of every man in the army or cut of it. rich or noor enough to exhaust all the money that could be raised by the aid of Georgia's en dorsement. But “Fulton" writes as if he thought the Merest at least, on Bonds btfd by me, would is undor Gen. Wheeler now, who ranks him, end commands t ur cavalry trout on the rig ht. The Southern people will never forget that while Morgan had an independent command he never met with disasters. - V . - [VOLUNTEER.
