five to ten millions of dollars, and much des
titution and suffering exists.
The enemy evacuated on Friday and Satur
day, retreating hastily. There was*no serious
engagement. The last of the rear guard left
about 2 o’clock Saturday. Our eav.lry picket
dashed into town, and killed a Yankee Colonel
and captured two others.
The Yankees peroled 200 South Carolinians
and Georgians, who were left sick at Jackson,
and also left 200 of their wounded at Jackson
and 900 t at Raymond.

them in the morning.
A dispatch from Pascagoula says that at
New Orleans, on the 10th, it was rumored that
the Hartford had been burned by Farragut,
after being stripped of everything. (This

quiror, of the. 15th, says it is reported at
Washington that the President has changed
the sen ten oe _of Vsliandigbnm from banish

A dispatch, dated at Washington, tho 14th,
says there is no indication of the movement
of the Federal Army South of the Rappahan
nook.
The Fredericksburg correspondent of the
Kiohmond Enquirer says, on the alleged au
thority of a Yankee General, that the enemy’s
loss in killed, wounded, prisoners and detect-
era, is 40,000? also that Seeker was much in

The telegraph states that it was reported at
Waahington-tbai Lincoln had commuted Vel-

him South. If this be (rue, the-Kangaroo has
a deeper object than tho mere punishment of
the men whom -he dreads, and who has not
feared to violate Burnside's order No. 8R. He
supposes, no doubt, that VaUandigham is ad
mired in Uie.Saaib, and that we would wel;
come hiriTemong us with open arms, end pay
all sorts of honors end regpeet to him/
Nows so far as we are concerned, wo have
this to e»y . We have no use for Mr. Vidian -
ham hr the South, unless he comes to oast in

But we cannot consent to be jeil.keepers for
Mr. Lincoln. We cannot consent to allow
VaUandigham to remain with us as a punish-
niswfHo gratify the fiendish revenge of the
ntaiioe of abolitiondom. We wont no man

Lincoln expects the Southern people to
“hooray’’ overYallendigham. This be thinks
will lose him votes iu Ohio for Governor.
This is the scheme—the design. We hope
PreaiSent Davis and our military authorities
at every point will positively forbid him com
ing within our lines, and retime to assist Lin
coln in executing an cnjnft sentence—unless
he has hie fall consent to take the oath of
allegiance to the South, forever . renounce
the Dwion, and fight for our liberties, against
the despotism of Lincoln and tho villainies of
the North,' the same as we do. If he be ban
ished from hie. own country for his devotion
to the cense of" justice end human liberty, and
come in this way, we are willing to receive
him—otherwise we are net; and further, we
have o«^ idea that he is w ean be such a eon-
vert to “tile rebellion" *8 this would amount
to. He haa too much love for the Union. He
can’t bo a Southern maa till he hates and de*

would suggest that
have a called meeting at
of time in waiting for the formalities of red
tape, or for a confused panic. Lei the City-
Marshals, or some other competent men, be
required to proceed at onoo to the enrollment
of every man from 10 to 60 to be found in the
city, whoso, name shall not at the time be en
rolled in some one of the volunteer companies
now being raised. Kroll them by Wards;
and when a sufficient number is obtained, let
the Mayor order them to organize by electing
their Captain and subordinate officers; and in
case they should fail to do so, let. the Mayor
appoint their officers. When the whole forco
of tho olty is tints enrolled, let them report to
the Commander of the Post.
Any man who refuses to enroll himself, to
fight, when the city is threatened, and still
essays to romain, should be hung on the most
convenient limb. We] are in earnest. We
mast organize, and every man must now show
bis hand. There is no time to knock formally
at the front door, and wait to be ushered in
by a servant, when tho interior of Iho build
ing is in flames. Our enemies ere determined
to burn us up.
Should a raid approach the oily, details
irom each company will be necessar^ to guard
publie and private buildings and Government
stores. On this account companies should be
■hsde large.
A Committee of Engineers at d military
men should bo sent at once to the Chatta
hoochee River, to examine the ferries, and
erect balterios commanding every weak point.
Then a range of batteries should be estab
lished near the city, which would be ready
for service in caao an enemy should approach.
All these preparations should be made, not in
confusion and panic, but now, under cool and
deliberate judgment.
YVe should leave nothing undone which is
necessary to insure ample defense. Atlanta
is too important a point to bo neglected by
its proper defenders.
We earnestly call on Mayor Calbouu to
move at once in these matters, with prompt
ness and vigor. Don’t wait to examine for
authority in musty old ordinances, but act at
once for the safety of the City and her mil
lions of property, and the homes of our wives
and children. Take such action as will bring

the patriotism that will not rally to the sup

for the sickle' The Government demands
only your surplus supplies, and for them will
pay remunerative prices. Fortify the hearts
of our soldiers, then, by showing that while
they illustrate the ebivelry of Georgia upon
the tented field, we at homo are ready to dis
pense with all superfluities, retrench all luxu

tain and perpetuate our honor and our liber

Special Correspondence 'from ford's
Brigade.
Camp Wofford's, Brigade, j
Near Fredericksburg, May 10th, 1863. /
A brief account of the part performed by
Utia brigade in. the great battles of Charicel-
lorsvUle, Brick Churoh and Banks’ Ford, ac
companying the report of Capt A. F. Woolley,
giving the'casualtlcs in.fhcse struggles, may
not prove uninteresting to the many friends
of these gallant men. Henoe 1 give the fol
lowing, gathered from those who act ed well
their part in this bloody work.
' The brigade is composed of the 24th Geor
gia Regiment, commanded by Col. Rob’t Me
Millen, of Habersham; the 18th Ga, com
manded in action by Capt. J. A. Stewart, of
Newton, until wounded, and then by Capt. F.
M. Ford, of Bartow; the 16th Ga, by Col.
Goode Bryan, of Richmond, until wounded,
then by Lt.-Col. Henry P. Thomas of Gwin
nett ; i he infantry battalion of Cobb’s Legion
by Lt. Col. Luther J. Glenn, of Fulton, until
wounded, and then by Cnpt. W. D. Conyers,
O'f Newton; the infanfry battalion of Phil
lips’ Legion, by Maj. Wosepta Hamilton, of
Lumpkin, and a battalion of skirmishers or
shaipshooters, recently organised from the
above commands, commanded by Lt. Col. A.
H. Patton, of Gordon, until killed, then by
Maj. H. H. Smith, of Towns.
Wo were aroused about day light Wednesday
morning, the 28th ult., by heavy firing on the
Rappahannock, about four miles below Fred
ericksburg. and the same distance from our
camp- We soon learned that the shrewd Yan
kees had surprised our Generals and men, (a
fact not vety creditable,) during a dark and
foggy night and morning ; laid their pontoons,
effected a crossing, captured some of our
troops, and massed a large forco on our side
of the river, which, under the protection of
their heavy guns on the heights beyond, bade
un defiance.
Orders came for our brigade to move oh out
live, long before the usual breakfast lime of
the troops, end as they do uolcare to eat their
scanty allowance too early lest hunger should
make his stern demands before night, and not
be supplied, many loft for the battle Held
without any thing to eat; but cheerfully nad
quickly tho were in-line, all ready to meet
the invader. It was gratifying to sec tketift
devoted men move oft' singing- laughing, and
shouting, bat sad to know that so many of
these heroes were leaving their “ old camp, - ’
never to return.
’ Gen Wofford moved the command to the hills
below the city, ready to move to any post »f
danger when he should be needed, and Thurs
day morning took position behind breast works
in the bottom, to the right of lien McLawa’ di
vision'. Here he remained in line of battle un
til abont twelve at night, the enemy evincing
^no disposition to advance against our position
below town, and,having crossed in heavy force
at Kelly’s Ford about 18 miles above the city,
were advancing on our left flank, and tlireaicn
ing our rear when we were mar -lied away frnn
our stronghold to meet him on n field ot his own
choosing. Leaving about twelve o’clock :.t
night, the command matched up near Bank,*’
Ford abont fonr miles above the city, and fq-
mained fjr n short time in cnttcnchmcms, when
tho General ordered an advance, which was ex-
ecu led in gallant style but the cunning Yankees
prudently withdrew before our troops.
We then took position on the Railroad where
we remained until Saturday about 3 o'clock p.
m., when we moved by the loft flank and took
position asross the turnpike road leading from
Fredericksburg to Chancelloraville, and about
one mile from the latter place, when wo were
subjected to a severe shelling, and ono man was
killed and several wounded. Our battalion of
skirmishers made a charge on the enemy and a
brisk engagement ensued in which the boys
come near taking a battery. The enemy were
so hard pressed that one oi tho caissons as
blown up iu the midst of the charge.
During the early part of the engagement Gen.
Wofford led a charge of his battalion of sharp
shooters on horseback, a thing very seldom
done but often necessary to infuse the proper
spirit into the soldiery.
Whilst the brigade was under the terrific
shelling they marched slowly to the left as
calmly and orderly as if on ordinary drill, until
properly posted. No man was seen to cower or
tremble in the presence of the foe and under his
deadly fire. Commands were given quietly and
firmly-and obeyed quickly and correctly. Gen
Wofford and staff were in front of the brigade
moving deliberately in the midst of danger and
death, arranging for the awful conflict with as
much composure and care as if attending to any
ordinary business. .
This line of battle—these officers and tnen
standing as they were ready to enter the dread
harvest of death presented a spectacle that
would have moved the inmost soul of every
patriotic Georgian could it have been beheld as
it was by the writer. Here were our fathers,
brothers and friends exposing their noble hearts
to the fast falling shafts of death, for the peace
and happiness of our. dear ones at homo. Geor
gians look yonder at that dear bay who has been
tenderly raised and ministered unto by the ten
der hands ot a noble mother, not for rude and
ratbless war, bat lor the delightful avocations
of peace, oil browned, ragged and dirty, and be
hold how seriona, bow resigned to die, how de-
tdrmined, how brave he appears; No* a muscle
shakea, not a feature changes, as he looks tar
back to his happy home in Georgia, the brighter
land of his birth, and then into tho cannon’s
month, the greedy jaws of death and the sol
dier's shallow grave. Listen at the stately
steppings of war; it vies with the awful tread
of the eatth-'quake—the ancient hills of Old
Virginia tremble the volcanic thuniers lay
waste the blighted forest, but your noble war
rior boy stands firm as Gibrajtet ’s rocks. How
varied, how grand, how terrible the scene—no
tongue can tell it, no pencil con paint it.
The writer saw and greeted many bright
faces that placid May evening who never saw
another setting sun, but poured out their blood
on the alter of their country in the holy cause of
freedom.
Saturday night the brigade remained in line
of battle until about sun up, when it advanced
upon the foe to the right-of the road about halt
a mile below Choncellorsville, when the gallant
men encountered the terrible fire of the foe,
well secured and secreted behind breasr works
constructed |in rather a crooked line, through a
very dense woods with large trees and_under
growth naturally so thick' that it is difficult to
get through. Besides this the enemy have fell
ed trees and small brush cross und pile so as to
make it difficult to charge the works, or even to
sec them.
The enemy’s line of works being irregular
and our line of battle being nearly straight,
brought some regiments and parts of regiments
much nearer than others to the enemy. Phillip’s
Legion were not exposed so much. Cobb's Le
gion were greatly exposed and tought very near
the works. The 16th was very near and great
ly exposed. The 2tih was equally near, but
the (round occupietTby the men was better,
hence they did not suffer so much. Thy 18«h
fought at the angle of the enemies works and
the line waa subject to a terrible front and flanh
fire’ and that part of the regiment suffered hea
vily. Referer ce to Capt. Wooley’e report will
convince all that this waa one af the hardest
} tests of thia bloody war. Here, under such
great disadvantages, these brave moo fought tor
hours, not a man noffan officer sku-king nor
shunning duty. The brigade waa ordered mere
ly to engago the enemy and press hint, but not
to charge him. If the otder had been given to
chargo at first; the works would doubtless have
been carried at once, for when the men where
permitted to advance the enemy fled or surrend
ered at once. It is supposed that General Lee
wished the attention of the foe engaged in front
in order that Gen. Jackson's forces might ac
complish something in the rear.
General Wofford and staff were constantly
all over the field, when their presence were nec
essary. The Gen. seemed to set at defiance the
skill of the best marksmen in the Yankee army
—firing at him with good rest, proper range and
partially concealed from danger. He seema to
bear a charmed life aud seems to be permitted to
live to show friends how to fight and Yankeos
how to die. It we ha plenty of such officers
and men as compose this Georgia brigade, the
war would soon close and peaco would again
plume her bright wings and fly to ten thousand
nappy homos, and joy’s' charming smite make
radiant millions of glad facts.
Lieut. Col. Patton ot the Sharp Shooters fell
early in the action whilst leading his command
in a chargo. He had passed sately through
most of the bloody struggles in Virginia and
Maryland, but here mot a soldiers death and
fills a warrior’s grave under the sod of his na
tive State, lie visited his home in Georgia a
short time since and on his retrrn was heard to
express some mortification at tho want of ap
preciation, by some, of tho detenders of the
country, and to remark that some amateur war
riors who made much fuss at the beginning of
the war and before, and denounced every man
as a traitor to his country who would not agreo
to drink at least a barrel of Yankee blood, were
still enjoying a peaceful time at home, and
seemed restless because the soldier's furlough
was so long, and the only enquiry made was
‘when are you going back.’ Now he rerfts in his
bloody soldier’s garb under the soil of. Virginia,
and will never more be among these hot-head
ed and cold-hearted individuals. A soldier not
filled with chanty remarks that “he sleeps as a
dead lion and his amateur acquaintances re
main at home as living dogs.”
Col. Ilryau received a painful but not dangerous
wound iu'liis right bromt. Lieut. Col. Luther J Ulonn
received a eovere wound In the arm. but it is said With
proper care his arm will be saved. Capt. J. A. Stewart,
commanding the lStli Georgia regiment, received a
verv severo, though not. a mortal, wound in tlie thigh,
lt is hoped that his valuable life will bo spared, so
that his bleeding country can again have his service*
and liis famoui regiment enjoy the beneflt ot lus un-
tirine attention and groat kindness.
\boul eleven o’clock the brigade advanced and most
of the cowardly rascals surrendered. The brigade
burs And those liclow town inarched up, mid a force

tacked GeivI Ilarkdale’s Mississippi brigade nnd oap-
tlived t-c -tone fence rendered Immortal by our brig-
a to oil the 1Dth dnv of Decemtiev. 1SC2, end c*ptmed
six'pieces of the'celebratcd Washington Artillery .—
This they did by overwhelming mimltera, beingenabled
to attack in front-and both flanks at once. This accom
plished, this heavy forco started to assist Hooker, ny
attacking our victorious army in tho rear. Fortunately
they were too late, for he had got ns much ns Yankee
nature could stand, and n little more, before thia time;
nnd General* Anderson, McLaw* and Early moved
their divisions to meet this fresh army of vandals.—
Our brigade arrived just in time, nou^thc brick churcb
about .4 miles from Fredericksbu-g on the plank road,
to sustain Generals Wilcox and Simms, who were
heavily pres.-ed by greatly superior numbers, afro-
fighting tho great battle tn the forenoon at Chancet-
lorsville. The enemy were repulsed ant held at bay
Sunday night aud Monday until our forces could be
got into position. On Monday evening about three
o’clock it was understood tiint -.ve bad tlie enemy in a
semicircle, each end of this semlcirclo resting on the
river above aud below the ford. It was further under
stood that the attack would be made on the right, which
would l>n die signal for tho general advance of all our
forces. Hours past, the evening was pissing, aud the
cnances for the osc«pe of tlie circumscribed foe wero
increasing, but no advance was midc. General Wof
ford waa chafing like a furious charger, so much was
he impressed wi'h tlie idea the enemy should bo at
tacked til once, and so anxious was ho to rush upon
the cowards now at bay. Rut no order camo until
about six o’clock iu iho evening, when G,>uernl YVof-
i'ord received orders to move toyward aud take posi
tion on the plank road—the position then held by the
enemy. This splendid brigade of tried veterans
marched upwith buoyant spirits, to tho attack, but the
enemy gave way nnd the General observing some evi
dence of disorder in his linos, ordered a charge,
which was responded to with such a rush and
such yells ns only victorious Georgians c3n
give, and the enemy fled, f’oming to a houpe,
we captured about 30 prisoners, amongst whom
were a Lt. Colonel and several other officers.—
Learning from an old citizen at this house that
tho flight of the Yankees was an ut:or rout, the
General took the citizen as a guide and pressed
on in the charge through a terrible pine and ce
dar thicket so dense that a single individual
could not pass through it in daylight with out
difficulty, until twclvo at' nignt, until we hud
got within halt a mile ot the enemy’s pontoons
on tho river, where his frightened hoards were
crossing. We had got nearly a mile in Iront of
all other troops, when our own batteries were
playing* immediately in our front. Here the
General halted and sent back requesting out
gunners not to fire on ns as we were friends.'
So great was the flight of tho Yanks and so
anxious to get “to hum,” that they threw away
guns, bayonets, knapsacks, coate, hats, breech
os sticks, shirts, drawers, and almost everything
a man eats, wears or uses, and they were so
thick in places thaLscarcely we could ride over
them. Our poor soldiers have more stuff that
the cowards loft than they can well carry. Eve
ry man has some trophy won from the .vandals.
Many think this the greatest blunder of tho whole
war. We could have (a* is supposed by some) reached
our fortifications above the pontoons Monday erdltlng
or at night, and placed four guns in position that would
have commanded the pontoons, river and bottom per
fectly, so that no human being could have crossed, ami
by that means bagged the whole panic stricken army.
Those holding this opinion say that our line of battle
wait not more than a mile from tho gunpits, nnd that
the loft wingof our force]engaged, together with our
artillery, could have forced its way to the gunpits com
manding the crossing with much loss difficulty and
danger, and much quicker than Wofford’s brigade
could, force the enemy back near three miles, to within
half mile of tho crossing. 11 this opinion be correct.
>vc have mnch to regret, and much reason to blntno
some one. It is very evident that the Yankee army
was totally demoralized and panic stricken, for no men
will or can fight after they throw away their guns, and
every thing impeding their progress, And as further
proot of the fact that we might have bagged the whole
concern, they are reported to hare thrown obstructions
across their pontoons to keep us from following them
■ntheir flight. The enemy seemed to be impressed
with the idea of defeat, for ho moved his pontoons up
the river from Fredericksburg to Bonks’ ford.beforehe
was passed on Monday, and got them in position before
any charge was made, and on Monday night, at 11
o clook, began to cross,and succeeded in getting over
and taking up his bridges early Tuesday morning? After
Sedgwick got safely across, Hooker re-crossed above
and alt retired toward Acquis Greek, supposin'- of
course, we would follow them and ruin their cowardlv
So wns tKeir ,ri ght, and so thorough was
their demoralization, that they are reported to have
destroyed all their army stores in any way exposed to
our supplied advance. * f
