The si riot Ty defeinsive policy has its advocates in the Cabinet as well asibe aggressive if semi-official reports do not mis-state the case. 1 am luclfned to believe the issue 1 as been at this partioulai tune precipitated m consequence of Gen.

Lee. giving a detailed account of L - plan of operations on the Cheat Mountain frontier, and of the recent failure of the strategic movement against the enemy’s position. ,The de tails of, the report, which is very iuW, accompa nied by maps, A are, ot course, not of a nature to be communicated, at this time, to the public. It appears from the statements of the report that tbe plan of operations was disconcerted by the failure of ike column led by Gen. Jackson to attack theenemy’s position on the Cheat Moun tain. Gen. Jackson had made the reconnoissance I himself, but on reaching the enemy’s position, ! found him defended by a stockade fort Large quantities of t.mber had been felled, and were so interlocked that, it is said, it would have taken I our men several hours to have climbed through, even if there had beeu no enemy On the other -ide to resist the attack. The column of General Jaq*.~on was withdrawn in the face of the likeH | hood of such wholesale slau^b v erof his force, and the movements of Gen. Lee, whick weTe intended t be simultaneous $n tbe r results with the at tack, entirely disconcerted. T e plan of operations is given in the report of Gen. Lee folly by tbe aid of maps, and is said, by D.;i. ir? mac, to“ Lave been .one of the most per- , f. ; t pi Jeer of strategy in tbe entire campaign. As . it ha- ;>«♦ and «ii-appointed, >t wih be useless to can vass its merits. Other important intelligence of a later date has be£n received from the West. The intelligence is positive that Gen. Lee bad left the Valley Mountain and was on his way to ■1 G n Floyd. This movement, of which’we have distinct advices, is the interesting point at ;>r.* .-i ’ :n tb' 1 complication in the Wests and -hows a decided change in the campaign. Our forces m the West have hitherto conducted the ( ampaign—very desultorily we must confess—in -.eparute- divisions, and their concentration prorn - - at least something more decisive than has yet ocqtfrred .N‘-ws has al«o reached the Government that the enemy at Cheat Mountain Have been reinforced by i three Ohio regiments. Gen. Floyd, together with Wise’s Legion, are in urgent necessity for reinforcements. An otfeer °f Gen. Floyd’s command, who has arrived ih this ty wjth intelligence some days later than last re fKjfts, advises us in the strongest terms of the ne cessitfy ot immediate reinforcements. The feeling in tiie West was one of growing dissatisfaction, in view of the constant occurrence of sending troops to Manassas and the Peninsula, in contrast with the‘sparing and feeble reinforcements sent to the seat ot w'ar in Western Virginia. At latt a counts two regiments, from Georgia : and North Carelina, had arrived out, to join Gen. Floyd’s command. Neither was full, many of their : men having been prostrated with sickness along the route. Gen. Floyd’s camp was at Meadow Bluff, about sixteen miles west of Lcwisburg. Wise wag in the neighborhood, in a strong position on the top of the Sewell Mountain. The masterly and well conducted retreat of Gen. Floyd had enabled him to take a position to guard the Wilderness road, connecting near Meadow Liufl with the Lewisburg pike. The roads were very bad; but our means of transportation are ttaidto be abundant. Lee’s re ported movement to join our forces on the Gauley line will have to be made over a distance ol more than one hundred miles, even if uninterrupted.— Richmond Examiner. From Kentucky.—We have liitle or no tele graphic communication with Kentucky now a days, an j for news from that State we have to rely ; mainly upon travelers thence. A gentleman from Shelby co., Ky., who arrived here yesterday, bring- news that Gov. Magoffin and Humphrey Marshall were at the head of 2,000 men iu OweD county —the nucleus, it is believed, of an army of 20,Out* Kentuckians. Later from Columbus. —Gen. Jeff. Thompson, j who i« at present in the city, received last night a : dispatch from headquarters at Columbus, saying 1 ! that all was quiet at that place up to a late hour | ' of the day. The only news of importance there was that a large portion of the enemy’s troops at Cairo, and other points above, were being rapidly removed to Washington City. If this is true — and it seems to be confirmed from other quarters —McClellan must be in a straight, expecting an attack from Beauregard.— Heiupkis Appeal, tilth. Gen. HarLeb’s Command. — Wo learn that a portion of Gen. Hardee’s command, heretofore stationed above Pocahontas, Ark., has b«6n moved over to Point Pleasant, Missouri, a place 12 miles below New Madrid, on the west bank of vhe Mississippi river. The balance of his forces with the general himself, were to have arrived at the same point yesterday, his purpose, as is un derstood, being to co-operate with Gen. Johnston’s ; army in Kentucky. The recent series of brilliaut successes that 1 have attended our arms iu Missouri, resulting iu driving the enemy up toward St. Louis, is no doubt the cause of this move, Pocahontas being no longer a position of any great strategic impor tance.— AfempkU Appeal , 2 Sth.

Gen. Rousseau has, it is sup posed, a force of five thousand wtationed at differ- I nt points between Muldraugh’s Hiil and Louis ville—a portion at Lebanon Juuction. About half ! ol the Home Guard, after going out with Rous scan, returned to Louisville with their arms, re fusing to go into camp. A highly respectable gentleman stated to us that it was currently re ported in Bowling green that Rousseau had tele graphed to Gov.

Bickm#hd £>up<iich t 2bth . | Inierefttlnir from ?IlK«ouri*—Surreuder of Lexington—Hattie al Blue -Bill* Landing, Ac. The Montgomery Advertiser has the following : Mobile, Sept. 27.—Passengers from Columbus this morning bring the following : Gen. Johnston has received by special express rom Paducah, a copy of the St. Louis Republican, giving a fuli account of the recent battle at Lexington. It states that Gen. Price, with 18,000 men, attacked Lexington, Me , on the 15th mst., where Col. Mulligan with was strongly fortified. After three dayg fighting or se ge, the ankees sur rendered with their arms, ammunition, artillery and $250,00" in specie, which had been stolen by Mulligan from the Barks. Gen. Price used hemp bales as a moving battery, thereby cutting the enemy off from retreat by the river. The Repub lican «avs the Yankee loss was 6" killed and 100 wounded, aod Gen. Price’s loss several hundred. The privates were released on parole. The offi -1 cers were detained for retaliation in ca*e Gen. Fremont* undertakes to carry out h ; « threats Dispatches from Quincy, Illinois, state that 2,000 1 of tha prisoner* Lad arrived there. At this point the line between Mobile and Nevr Orleans went dewn, and the message is therefore incomplete.—Operator. ,l The Norfolk Day B»oh of Friday has £e follow ing from th# N’«w York Herald of the 24th : Official information of the capture of Lexington. Mo., and the surrender of the gallant Col. Mulli gan to the rebel forces of General Price, reached tht War Department yesterday ; and as no con tradiction of the report comes from any o’ber quarter, we are unwillingly compelled to receive it as authentic Cen. Preutiaa ha* dispatched to ?t. Louis a statement of the surrender, which reduced the loss on both sides considerably below the first reports. Col. Mulligan held out bravely for four days against immense odds ; and It is said only surrencered for want of water, without which his men had to maintain themselves for two days ; but there seems to be something in this statement not quite consistent with the posi tion he occupied »c close proximity to the Mis- souri river. According to our advices, bis fortifications were erected between the old and new towns, and ex tended down to th* river bluffs, at which point, 1 as far as our intelligence extends, the defences were assailed. How. then. hi* water could have been clut off, w are at a loss to determine. The latest accounts from Lexington, previous to the {announcement of the surrender, report the movtfCjießts of reinforcements to sustain Col. Mul- , ligan, I both by land and water. The steamers White Cloud aud Des Moines went up the river on Saturday with three regiments to assist the garriijjn at Lexiugtoß, and a forUe of 8,500 men, , infantry, cavalry, and artillery, had left Bt. Joseph and Chillicotbe, on the 15th inst., for the same poiut; but it appears none of their reinforcements arrived in time to save the garrison, which un doubtedly was compelled to vieiti to the immense ly superior force of the rebels. Washington, Sept. 28. —Dispatches received at , the War Department to-night confirm the surren der of Lexington, Missouri, to the rebel forces, j although the statement is general. Another d-spatch assert* that Gen. Fremont has taken the field in person, and declares his pur pose to capture the rebel chieftain, Price. The President aud Cabinet Ministars are amazed at this intelligence, in face of the flict that Gen. Fremont had over fifty thousand intn under his command, and could have easily* reinforced Col. Muiligan, at Lexington, and saved this disaster. Jbpvriuon City, Sept. 23.— A special dispatch to the St. Louia Democrat says: A dispatch was received here this evening from Gen. Fremont, which seems io fully confirm the surrender of Lexington by Col Mulligan. The dispatch says that Col. Mulligan had surrendered on Friday for want of water. Before surrender ing, Col. Mulligan sent 200 of his men across the river to Brookville en routt for Quincy, 111. No commissioned officers were released. Our forces which weye sent up the river laßt week, are now at Booneritle, and will move for ward to Lexington to morrow. Gen. Davis leaves here to morrow'to take command and lend them on. Other troops wjll go forward immediately. St. Louis, Sept. 2jjs —All the officers of Gen. Fremont’s staff have been ordered to day to report themselves at headquarters forthwith. Gen. Prentiss’* dispatch announcing the sur render of Col. Mulligan at Lexington, says the Uuion loss was thirty-seven killed aud 140 wound ed. The rebel loss is supposed to be about .800 killed and wouuded. [Quite a likely tale.J A correct report from Jefferson City says, in stead of 20<> men en. route for Quincy, 2,000 of Mulligan’* command was sent over by the rebels, released on parole, and are vn route for Quincy. Claiborne Jackson is at Lexiugtou with the rebel force*. Col. Smith’* command was to leave Blue Mills ! for St. Joseph* the day after the battle. Gen. Price and his army will move down the ! river, and, unless checked or L.'.ated, ttaek Booneville, and then Jefferson City. Quincy, 111., Sept. 28.—A part of Coffin l ' nlli- I gan’s command arrived here this even.: ; . r he balance, amounting to nearly 2,000, are expected j j to -morrow. Those who have arrived say that the force at j I Lexiugtou is only about 2,000, including several i companies of Home Guards, who are accused of | i having shown cowardice. j The surrender of Lexington was made at five ! o’clock on Friday afternoon. The flag was hauled down oy tbe Home Guards. Col. Mulligan is spoken of in the highest terms He displayed great bravery during the action ; and when asked to surrender, he refused. His sword was taken away by force. Col. Mulligan aud all the commissioned officers : ; are held prisoners by the rebels. From the Evansville (Did.) Journal, ‘24tk. j Chicago, Sept. 22.— A special despatch to the] Times, from Quincy, at II o’clock this morning, says the mail agent on the Hannibal ami St. Joseph Railroad, who arrived at 7 o’clock on Saturday night from St. Joseph, states that Col. M ulligan and his whole command at Lexington, surrendered on Friday morning at 5 o'clock. The seige continued from Monday until the time of surrender. Col. Mulligan’s men wei without water all Thursday and Friday, and completely ! exhausted. They fought gallantly and despe rately, but were compelled to yield to vastly su perior numbers. The Union loss in killed and wounded is said to be from eight to nine hundred, while that of the rebels is between three and four thousand, with a proportionate number wounded. The report of the battle is confirmed by passen gers on tho same train. The news was brought j by stage to Hamilton, which is the nearest point on the railroad to Lexington, being distant forty miles. Os the fact of the surrender there can be no doubt. St. Louis, Sept. 23. —Gen. Prentiss’ dispatch announcing the surrender of Mulligan at Lexing ton, states that the Federal loss is 87 killed and 140 wounded. The rebel loss is supposed to be about 800 killed aud wounded. The Memphis Appeal says : Dispatches from Quincy, Illinois, received al Paducah, state thut 2000 of these prisoners had arrived there. The Republican estimates the amount of artil lery captured at twenty pieces. The number of small arms cannot be less tbut the number of the enemy’s force engaged- -perbans more. Our information derived from other sources, leads us to believe that the full strength of Gen. Price’s army did not reach over la»,000 men all told. The victory is evidently complete, and its fruits fully worth the sacrifice made in its achievement. BATTLE AT BLUE MILLS, MO. §t. Louis, Sept. 22.—The following account of tbe’baitle of Blue Mills’ Landing is derived from au authentic source. Lieut. Col. Scott, with 570 men of the Third lowa Regiment, with one piece of artillery, left Cameron ou Monday, the 16th, in pursuit of the rebels, who left St. Joseph on tbe Friday previous. Scott arrived at Liberty, Clay county, on the i morning of the 17th, aud moved from that place I atone o clock p. in., and at three o’clock fell in i with the anemy, 4,500 iu number, occupying a | strong position. Our skirmishers received a gall ; ing fire and slowly retreated to our main body, ; when the action became general. Our 6 pounder was brought to bear on the enemy, and a few shots were fired which proved destructive. At • this tuqe a heavy fire was opened on our gun, ! j killing one gunner and wounding two others ; on ! this several other gunners, Germans from St. Louis, abandoned it, carrying off primer aud j matcher, rendering the piece useless. The action • continued an hour, when our column was slowly i withdrawn to more opeu ground, bearing off the ; wounded and drawing away the gun by hand, all : the horses having been killed or badly wounded. j About this time, Col. Smith, who left St. Joseph ; with 1400 men, about the same time Scott did Cameron, and tor the same genera! purpose, join -1 ed the latter, having pushed forward his mounted | men and artillery at a rapid pace, on receiving a i message from Scott, ten miles back, that he was advancing on the enemy. But it being night and tneir men completely exhausted, and the rebels reported str entrenched in a thicket, impas- ! sable except by a narrow wood, a further attack j whs postponed until morning. ! E irly on the following day an advance was made (on the combined force; but on arriving at Blue Mills they found the enemy had crossed the river before daylight, taking the road towards Lexing : ton. The following are the casualties of the 3d lowa j Regiment, ai far as ascertained: I Total killed, five ; wounded, eighty-four; miss -1 ing, six. Three of the missing are supposed to be j ii) the hands of the enemy, ana the balance killed. ( In addition to the loss of the Third lowa, there ; were six of the Home Guards and one artillery man killed, among them, Capt. Cupp, and about ten wounded. Four ot the Home Guard were killed in a skirmish about two hours before the ! battle. Chicago, Sept. 22. —The Sd lowa regiment of volunteer*, on the way to Lexb Hod s o reinforce Mulligan, date not given, suddei ly : I unexpect edly came upon a body of 4*ooo ieb-.r at Blue ! Mills, Mo., where a battle commenced a: . con- j ! tinued an hour and a half. The lowa regiment was about to retire, when 1 ■ the rebels retreated and crossed the river just in 1 time to fall into the hands of Lane’s brigade, I 4,000 strong, who were also marching to reinforce Mulligan. The Unionists captured between 700 and 800 ; and killed 200 of them. The rebels fled and re -1 crossed the river, when the lowa regiment started iu pursuit. In the first encounter, the lowa troops lost 19 killed and S“ wounded. Ten to twelve rebel prisoners were brought to Quincy from St. Joseph on Saturday. Also two | others, who were known to have been concerned in burning the Platt rvier bridge. St. Louis, Sept. 23.— The reported fight be ; tween the rebels and Gen. Lane's brigade, near 1 : Blue Mills, is discredited here, Lane being some ‘ ; distance east of that point at last accounts, 1 ! marching on Lexington. The account of the ! battle of Blue Mills, forwarded last night, was derived from official dispatches, written on the ! >pot, and cau therefore be relied on. ARREST IN ST. LOUIS. St. Louis, Sept. 2*. —Charles G. Ramsey, pro prietor of the Evening News, was arrested this afternoon by order of the Provost Marshal. He was taken to headquarters for examination.

Wood, left for Louisville on the 14th inst., on n special train with guns and ammunition. The Government ha* ordered the home guards and the regiments on the border to hold themselves in readiness. It is further stated that 10,000 ad ditional troops could leave the State in twenty four hours. Gen. keynolds, w.lO is at Cheat Mountain, has, the telegram states, driven the rebels from that position, killiug nearlyj|loo of them* Col. Kimball, of the 14th Indiana R gfment was surrounded, but repulsed the rebels with great gallantry aud smaii loss to us. The date of the action is not mentioned. Government accepts tbe tender of the military services of tbe Count of Paris and the Due De Chartres. They will probab’y enter Gen. Mc- Clellan’s staff. The young Count Penthrieve, son of the Prince De Joinvillc, enters tbe United States Naval Acad emy. He is sixteen years old Major Buuseuwen, late Aid-de-camp to Garabaldi, has to-day been commissioned iu tne military service of the Uni ted States. There is no truth in the report that Gen. Fre mont is to be removed. The President espe cially contradicted tho rumor. A letter from Paris, received to-day, says that the French Government has respectfully declined to inform tbe Mexican Minister of the object of the fleet to be »ent to Mexioo, saying that the !at ter will be duly apprised of it through the French Minister. So far as it appears from the letter, the movements of France and England are not neces sarily hostile. THE SECRETARY of STATE ON RUSSELL. Washington, Sept. 21.— -The Secretary of State, in reply to memorials asking the attention of the Government to what they call treasonable matter, in Russell’s letter of August 10 to the London Times, 3 ays it has been the habit of this Govern ment to t-ako no netice of how ever obnoxious, by the press of foreign nations. This Government has only recognized as worthy of observation the language and actions of the executive organs of foreign States, and says the publication complained of had not arrested the attention of himself or any member of the Ad ministration j that these representations stand up on the individual authority of the person making them. The Government of the United States does not depend upon the good will or favor of foreign nations, but upon the just support of the Ameri can people, and that it seems to him that censure ought to fall upon those papers which reproduce these articles in this country, rather than the for eigner who wrote the articles for remote publica tion, and finally that interference with the press »sven inspiring exciting insurrection can only be justified on grounds of public danger. The Secretary of State has issued a circular iu order to prevent seizures of property belonging to citizens of insurrectionary States not warrant ed by acts of Congress relating to that, subject, and directs special attention of the U. S. Mar shals to the provisions of these acts. FOREIGN NEWS St. Johns, N. F., Sept. 23.—The Persia, with Liverpool dates to the 14th, via Queenstown on the 15th, passed Cape Race this morning. Her advices are four days later. Breadstufls quiet and steady with the exception of corn, which was drooping. Provisions dull. Consols 93%@93%. New York stocks better, with a fair business. Money and exchange, no new features. The Persia reports meeting the Great Eastern pulling back to Liverpool in a damaged condi tion. The London Times editorially ridicules the passport system of the United States, and says tfjiit j* will not secure the desired end. The only GOiDTKiiint England has to make in the matter is :n r»**ard to the discourtesy to I*ord Lyon, in living him to learn ot the new arrangement from the newspapers. Movements were making of troops preparatory to their embarkation to Canada. It is confirmed that our minister at Brussels has visited Garibaldi, and offered him a command in the Federal army. The Derrct say* it cannot give a denial to the minor of the. acceptance of the otter bv Garibaldi. . . ... The news is confirmed that Spam is to join in the Anglo-French expedition to Mexico. Dr. Russell, in another letter to the Times on American affairs, says that Gen..McClellan is ra pidiv becoming master oi the situation, and that the federalists bv water, both on the seaboard and down the Mississippi river, must greatly emb&r rass the South. It was stated that the City of New Tcrttook fortv-five case* of rifles for the northern a- my, but I tbe agents of the line denied ail knowledge of any shipments of contrabands of war. CINCINNATI MARKET. Cincinnati, Sept. 23.—'The news from New Fork not being as good as was expected, and that from England less favorable, the market for flour cloned tame and spiritless, but holders are firm at $4 $4 10 for superfine .

Three prisoners were taken to Fort Lafayette to-day, charged with furnishing goods to the rebels. Fort Monroe. Sept. 22.—The S. R. Spaulding arrived from Hatteras Iniet this morning. On Tuesdav last toe propeller Fanny fan down to Ocracoke Inlet with a company of troops, and entirely destroyed the fortifications abandoned by the rebels. It is said the Confederates were in force at Washington and Newbern; that 2,000 of them Lad landed on Roanoke Island, with the intention of destroying the light house and dwellings of the Unionists. A detacbmem of 7 ' men, accompanied by a nava! force, were about leaving Hatteras Inlet' to prevent the inroad. The privateers Cuffee and Winslow, visited Ocracoke Inlet to earrv off Con federate guns, but left on seeing the ship Fanß-\ The steamer Argonaut, from Dartmouth, with fish and salt, ran into Hatteras and was secursd as a prize. A considerable force of the rebels were seen ! near Newport News last night, but withdrew, after ] burning the grain ricks. from new tore. New York, Sept 21.—This morning, John Beat man, a citizen of Portland, Maine was brought here in custody of the Deputy Marshall of tn*t district. He is charged witn high treason, with using sed tious language against the United State* and the President ; also with treasonable com- j piicity with the Southern reoels and their agents from Liverpool and other parts of Euiope. It is said that fetters and papers were found in the 1 Baggage ami on the persou of the accuse-1 Justi- j rt nig the vigor: us measures adopted. He was sent to Fort LaFayette. TUB EVANSVILLE.

Crittenden, from j Indiana, who was tire-first to brio- a regiment trom another State into Western \ trgtnu, was among the first to come to aid Kentucky. His regi- j ment arrived and passed through orir streets to w.fd the this afternoon, aud proceeded immedt algj, s ,,tuhward. They were enthusiastically re r.d at different points on the route. Brigadier Genera! Ward arrived here to-day fron Washington, aud will forthwith take com riard of his brigade iu central Kentucky. "justice Catron, of the V. tL Court, has issued a writ of habeas corpus in the case of Morehead, Garrett aud Barr, returnable on Monday next. Nothing of importance from points south of here. Passengers from Lebanon report the people com ! j u f ro m the country to join the Federil forces. Nothing vet is ascertained of the movements m : Southern Kentucky. There is no telegraphic communication south of Lebanon Junctiou. W N. Haldeman, tbe principal proprietor of the Courier, publishes a card in the Journal to morrow, requesting a modification of the interdict Against the publication of auy matter prejudicial 1 to the Government, aud promises to be loyal to i 'he Government while Kentucky remains tu the ■ ' (iov Magoffin has also issued his proclamation, ; ordering Gen.

O JR TERMS.—Single copies, $2 per annum; three copies $5; six copies $10; ten copies sls. Invariably in advance. No name will oe enter ed on our subscription books unless the money accompanies the order. The notes of all specie paving banks taken at par. We employ no travelling agents. WT3 AT. WAYS stop the Chronicle & Senti nel at tlie end of the year, or tire time for which it is paid, of which each subscriber will receive notice in the paper, so that if you wish to con tinue it,, it would be well to renew your subscrip tion at least two weeks before the time expires. W cl CANNOT change the address of a sub scriber unless lie gives us his fonntr as well as his present address. Weekly Irfalls—How to set Early News A number of our subscribers, at various points off the Hailrdads, where they have but weekly or semi-weekly mails, have adopted the plan ot hav ing the Daily Chronicle if* Sentinel sent to the nearest Host Office at which a daily mail is re ceived, and from thence carried by ihe subscri bers in turn to the most convenient point for dis tribution. This plan is found to work well ; ana during these exciting times, when almost every ne has a friend or relative among our brave volunteers, from whom something may be heard, (independent of the interest w hich all must feel in the progress of events,) the early reception of news is an object worth the little trouble of this plan. We recomineud our friends to try it. High Water.—The Savannah has been up as high as 2S feet, from the recent heavy rains. This morning it had gone back to 19 feet, and receding. The consequences of the flood have been rather serious. The lowlands along the river have been overflowed, and crops of corn have suffered great ly. The high wind which preceded the rains, prostrated the corn, and the flood coming upon it in that condition has doubtless leveled it beyond recovery. Wo hope the damage is not so great as many apprehend. Wo are informed that Mr. Wii, Eve’s plantation, below this city, is sub merged to tbe depth of several feet. The Augnsta canal also overflowed its banks, but no injury w'as thereby sustained. Private Wit. 11. Jokes, of the Oglethorpe In fantry, arrived here on Saturday night, in compa ny with Corporal Hamid, who was wounded re cently by the accidental firing of our own akir inishers upon one another. We are happy to learn from Mr. Jones that Corporal H. is recover ing recovering from his wound. Cavalry Company.—A very tine cavalry com pany arrived here lust nigh. It is called the “Cauebrake Legion,” and is commanded by Capt. Taylor. These men are all a splendid looking set of fellows, with the requisite nerve and raus cle to make good soldiers. The motto upon their banner is : “Our charge is our country’s de fedee.” The company has been mustered into service, bui has not yet, as we learn been attached to auy regiment. They leave for Richmond this evening. Nbw Hose Cart.—Messrs. Hour. H. May & Cos., carriage manufacturers, of this city, have com pleted a handsome Hose Cart for Washington Fire Cos. .Vo. 1. It Is a neat, substantial aud beautiful carriage, creditable to tbe skill and taste of the makers. Private W. 11. Jones, of the Oglethorpe Infan try, returns to Western Virginia to-morrow night. Any letters or communications for our Volunteers in the First Georgia, if left at toe store of S. S. Jones by 6 o’clock to-morrow evening, will be prohiptly delivered The Burner Gun.-—The new rifled cannon, in vented by Mr. Tuos. Sumner, and made at the Georgia Railroad Machine Shop iu this ci y, was partially tested yesterday morning, *.t a point on the river below the city, it was fired a distance of 900 yards with great accuracy. We learn that the gun will be taken to Atlanta shortly for a fuller test than has yet been made. We have great confidence in its efficiency. i The report that the Confederate war steamer j Sumter was wrecked off the coast of Trinidad, I on the 20th of August, is contradicted by a sub sequent report that she was at New Amsterdam, ! in Surinam, on the 23d of the same month. Passage op Federal Prisoners. —The Federal | prisoners, who have beeu expected here for a day ; or two past, arrived by the South Carolina Road | about 12 o’clock Monday night, attended, as we ; barn, by a guard of 70 soldiers. The cars con taming them were taken through town as soon as circumstances would permit, and they were trans - | ferred to cars awaiting them at the through depot | on the Georgia Road. | The prisoners numbered about 250— were gen j erally cheerful, intelligent in appearance and con ! versed freely upon the war, it-s probable duration, result, Ac., Ac. The crowd of oeople to see them was very and the crash and press ditto. The entire police force and the Fire Brigade were on the ground to preserve order—how well they succeeded those who were present best know. Map op Camp McDonald. —We are indebted to the author, G. Wadsworth, Civil and Topograph ical Engineer, for a handsome colored Map of Camp McDonald, at Big Shanty, organized June 11th, 1881, with the relative positions of the dif ferent regiments, brigades, staffs, Ac. It has been ! gotten up to be sold for the benefit of the Geor j gia volunteers. Augusta-Made Envelopes.—Our citizens and ■ the public generally may be glad to knew, that i in the Chronicle & Sentinel Book Bindery, neat j and substantial buff envelopes are now being { manufactured. From samples now before us, we ! think they will give perfect satisfaction. Loan.— Subscribers to the Con. | federate Loan will find something to interest them I m the advertisement of the Chairman of the Com i missioners, in another column. ' Arrivals.— Captain 11. B. Adam, of the Ogle thorpe Infantry, has been in town for several days. He is somewhat out of health, we under stand, and has come home to make a temporary ' sojourn, with a view to recuperation. We trust j he may be speedily restored to health and his | command. ; Commissary Catlin, also of the Oglethorpes, I came home :n company with Capt. Adam. Sergeant George Adam, of the Clinch Rifles at Pensacola, is it> the city. i More Large Guns. —Sixteen large cannon paas -1 ed through town yesterday, destined for some point, we trust, where they will be of service. Bad Change for Famine.— A look into the Freight Depot at the Georgia Railroad, will con vince any one that there wiii be no famine here just at present. Huge piles of Wheat in sacks are stored there, and there is more constantly arriving from different points in Georgia, Tennes see, Ac.,—all intended, as we learn, for the Au gusta Market. Our millers will have their hands full for some time to come, in converting this into fiour for consumption. The receipts of Wheat at the Georgia Railroad for September 1881, will greatly exceed those of the same month last year. “ For the Little Ones.’’ —We have before us a handsome little volume of poems with the above title. T hey are the effusions of an accomplished lady of Savannah, daughter of one of our moat eminent statesmen, who is an invalid, and has written many of these verses while confined to a bed o 1 sickness. To exhibit In strong light her devotion to her country, she has determined to publish her poems in collected form, and give the proceeds for the benefit of our soldiers. The firs t edition was soon exhausted, tad the second edi tion has now been issued. The poems all evinco great depth of feeling, beauty of sentiment and smoothness of versifica tion, showing the author to be imbued with the spirit of poetry. Old as well as young will be pleased with the fervor of patriotism which they evince. Published by John M. Cooper k Cos., Savannah. The price ot single copies is 2-5 cents. Orders sent to Augusta may be addressed to J. A. Ans l*v, or to this office. Tbo Danger ot' Apatity* It is &n old saying and a true one, worthy of j all commendation, that “whatever is woith doing at all is worth doing \ygdl.” We hope the people, i if they do not paste this iu their hats, will at least 1 feel it impressed on their hearts, and that they will act accordingly at the election on Wedues day. This is our first general election in Georgia \ under the new order of things, and we regard it j of the first importance that the people shall ex- I hibit achange of heart, a regeneration, a detormi ! nation to reform the abuses and evils of the past. For unless wc can and do change from our insane ; aud loolish practices of the past, our revolution is vain, and there is not one solitary hope that wo shall long maifitaiu a free Government. Party spirit, corrupt and embittered partisans, and all chronic office-seekers must be put down by the people, or anew revolution will soon become a necessity. Iu the old Government, from which we have happily escaped, it is notorious that the uupri ,ci pled partisan, the corrupt jobber, the industrious j worker, who went about like a raging ass in a lion’s skin, breathing slander, abuse, denuncia- ' atiou, aud cunningly cheating the people out of their votes, had succeeded in controlling the Gov- ■ ernment. It therefore fell, as it ought to have ! fallen. And such will be speedily the fate of this ! Confederaci /, unless the people change. And we j believe that every sensible man, who will reflect seriously on the matter, must acknowledge that i we state the simple truth. It becomes us, then, to ! set about the change. It becomes every one to reflect upon the character and position of each ; candidate who is presented, uud to determine, re- ! gardless of every other consideration, that we j will not countenance or support any man, who, in , this crisis, proves himself simply a partisan and a selfish aspirant, find that we will vote down every candidate who is either brought forward upon his own solicitation, orby any partisan clique, or who is working to elect himself. We desire to impress it upon all that work wins elections,and that apathy loses them. Put down the men who are working for themselves, who are 1 electioneering and canvassing, to-day sanctimoni ous and long-.aced at camp-meetings, aud to night the devil’s own in the dens of iniquity. Rut to put such down, you mud work for your friends, lor those who aro willing to serve the people, but who have more respect for them than to go round begging their votes. We believe that the honor able aud honest and respectable and good people are in the majority in our country, but unless they will sink their party feelings aud support the beat men offered for office, the vile, the debased the unprincipled will succeed. And now, above all others, is the time for the good to act togeth er—now' when there ar t no party principles in volved, aud when we are taking the first step to prove that we are as worthy and as capable of free Government, as we are to defeat our enemies in arms. We must arouse and work, or the arch-euemy of this Government, the demagogues and trick sters and underground workers, will have the people bound baud and foot before they know it. Let every man feel that it is incumbent on him to get his neighbors aud friends and acquaintances to the polls, to vote for the true man, aud the men who are not working for their own elevation. If ever there was a time which, more imperatively than another, demanded that the people should bestir themselves to elect the bed man offered thent‘ it is now. See to it then, that none stay away from the polls. New Frmi*.—We yesterday examined the new pump which was ordered by Capt. Humphreys for the Arsenal well, 1(16 feet deep. Wo append a technical description of it. The pump is direct acting, and is placed at the water line, and .receives the water without the necessity of forming a vacuum. The valves and connections are made of brass, with double guides, that ensures a most, perfect vertical move ment. They act under a pressure of 72 lbs. to tho sqaure inch. The piston is operated by means of a connecting rod 165 feet in length, coupled together in the most perfect manner. It is opera ted by means of an adjustible reciprocating lever, by which the movement or stroko of the piston may be changed to a long or short stroke at pleasure. This pump was built at the stop of Mr. Ww. H. Goodrich, an dwas designed and executed by Mr. J. U. Howell, hydraulic engineer, of this city. It is au ingenious piece of mechanism, and will boos great practical service in tho place for j which it is designed. RflMr. Howell is a skillful and experienced me chanician and engineer, who has several other in ventions looking to tho public benefit, to which we shall probably hereafter allude. — New Music.—Wo are indebted to the Publishers, Messrs. Wkolein & Halsby, New Orleans, for ano ther package of music. Many,of the’eompositions are new, aud we think of such excellence as to be come popular with our professional and amateur performers : 1. “Jefferson Davis Grand March.” By Mrs. Flora Byrne. 2. “Victory of Manassas Grand March.” Com * posed and arranged by Henry Fouruirb. 3. “Variations of Shelia of Ocean.” By Tis so.

Oates. - •* -!■»>■ The World “ Moves.”—The first day of Octo ber is our period for “ moving.” We are a rest less people and fond of change. Accordingly about every year many of us take our household effects, vamose the old ranche, and possess our selves of another one, quite as old, perhaps, but new to us. The household gods have another altar set up for them, wo gather around the new fire side, and jog along for twelve months more. By the time a year haH rolled round, we shall doubt less sigh for other locations, which we fondly hope will be more congenial and advantageous. We advise all those who have no permanent abiding place to possess themselves oT a home as soon as possible. This yearly flitting about is provoca tive of bad tempers and spoils furniture. Those who are obliged to endure the miseries of “ mov ing day,” have our sympathies, herewith tender ed. “ The Evangelical Pulpit.”—A new monthly i publication with the above title has reached us. It is designed to contain sermons of ministers of the various evangelical denominations. The-pres ent number has three discourea: “The King dom of Christ,” by Rev. N. M. Crawford, D. D., President of Mecer Univerity; “ The Things that are Caesar’s,” by Rev. Gko. G. N. McDonnell ; “The Immortality and V r ulue of the Soul,” by Rev. JBBSB H. Campbell. The work will be pub lished ou the 15th of each month. Published by Wilkes A Marshall, Forsyth, Ga. Twelve numbers for sl, in advance. Any one remitting $5 will bo entitled to the sixth copy gratis. Single copies ten cente. A liberal cis count to agents. The Bloody Six Hundredth, Capt, Gow, turned out last evening on their regular semi monthly parade, and had the honor of escorting the gallent Baler Volunteers, Capt. Rudakr, to the South Carolina Depot, and it is needless to say that they discharged their duties in a manner worthy of regulars, or—of the six hundredth. Military Election. —The following is the result of the election held yesterday for Second Lieuten ant of the 2d Ward Militia : C. L. Turner .78 J. F. Crossland, 25 Majority for Turner el Drafting in lowa. —A dispatch dated Chicag . Sept. 22, says that drafting for the Lincoln army would begin in lowa next day. Augusta Schools.-We have already noticed the opening of several of our schools in this city.— There are others, as worthy, now' open, or about to commence, a list of which we give below. We feel justly proud of our institutions of learning— there are none better conducted in the country : The Augusta Male and Female High School, H Campbell street — Rev.'J. Neely, Principal. Now open. Mrs. L. J. Peck’s School, 172 Reynolds street; opens Monday, Oct. 7th. Miss E. M. Selleck’s School for Girls and Boys, Green street, 2d door above St. John’s Church; opens Oct. 3d. Mrs. G. Fargo’s School, on Ellia street, below Centre ; now open. Miss M. J. DERMOT’sSchool for Boys and Girls open 8 Sept. 30th. These are all excellent schools, under compe tent and experienced teachers. A reference to our advertising columns will give parents and guardians a large number of schools and acade mies from which they may select. New Volunteer Companies. —The following gentlemen were yesterday elected commissioned officers of the Baker Volunteers, who have bean for some-time encamped in this city : Captain—A. F. RudlerJ Ist Lieut.—T. C. Caswell. 2d “ W. L. Pryor. 3d “ Jab. 8. Fiair. The Schley Volunteers of Burke county, have elected the following commissioned officers : Captain— Henry J. Schley. Ist Lieut.—Thos. Whyte. 2d “ Richard W. Rogers. cd “ A. B. Hughes. This company is intended for coast defence, and able bodied men who wish to do their country ser vice. and fight for their homes and firesides, will do well to join. Applications may be made to T 303. Whyte, at the Winter Garden in this city. Lose no time, as the Northern cruisers are com ing : Jasper, Ga., Bept. 19, 1881. To the Editor of the Sentinel : Pickens county has sent two volunteer compa niea tp Big Shanty—Tate Guards, Capt. Hatnuel Tate, and Talking Rock Wild Cats, Capt. J. C. Steele, numbering about 80 T men. each, besides about 12b ruen belonging to other companies out of this county, now in service. Total, near 200 men. Crops in this county are good—never better. I don't think Hogs have died out to au alarming extent. A, K. Prepare lor Hard I'luhn. The people are just now' beginning to feel the \ effects, the hardships aud trials, of a state of i war. We had hoped that before wiuter tbe war would have been pushed to a successful and glori ous termination, and there is still time enough, and perhaps ample means at hand. We have a larger force now in the held than the enemy, and his enlisting has already been brought to a stand st ii, while our men are still volunteering. The enemy must resort soon to drafting, to a forced conscription, to fill up the ranks to half a million, for ho has yet not much more than half that num ber in arms. Perhaps he will be able to get the half million —perhaps not—but we should act as i( he were certain to get them. And although we are iu superior force, and our men have prov ed themselves individually aud collectively tbe superiors of the Lincoln troops, on almost every occasion, yet the look of things now is not promising for a speedy close of the war. If the war does not end, or the blockade is not raised within three mouths, we shall have hard . time? in real good earnest. And we ought to pre pare for the worst—it is wise and prudent to do so, for if the best come we shall still have lost nothing by preparation for threatened err. We should study and practice economy in all things, ! and make what we have got produce its greatest i benefit*. With cotton a drug rn the market, we should endeavor to supply ourselves to the fullest I extent with coarse cotton goods. The little wool we have should be husbanded, aud applied where : | it is most absolutely a necessity—for sold ers’ j | clothing and covering; and we ought not kill the I : sheep for food, if we can avoid it, wheu they are j I 80 valuable for wool-bearing. Wo should use as | little bacon as we can well get along with, aud be • i sure to convert all the spare grain and peas into I . i*‘at, for after bread that is the next great need, i It would be a great hardship it the negroes were J i deprived of bacon, but it should be given them as j : sparingly as the case tv ill admit, while the white ; i people, except the soldiers, ought to use none, if ! i they can get other meat. j We have a large nut*her of cattle, aud they can i ] never probably be of more service thau now. The | line grass of the summer has kept them in good i condition, and now, as soon as they r;u througu j j the pea fields, they ought to bo killed, beforethsy j oegin to decline. It would be good policy for j nearly every farmer aud planter in this section to 1 kill one third of his cattle as soon as fat, and the | weather is such that they can be saved-pickled |or dried. Where the corn crop is abuuda t it j would be advisable to feed them corn and fodder ! and outs, after eating out the pea fields, and thus i increase the quantity of meat, to the fullest extent i that grain can be spared for that purpose. Let | hogs follow the cattle to eat up the waste. And j the cows may contribute very largely to the food ! of the family -black and white- in the way of j milk and butter, if properly attended to. This I has been sadly neglected heretofore, and those j who have never tried it have no idea of how much value to a family a few cows may be* it properly leil and milked, to say nothing of milk and butter and cheese for market. Half an acre of good laud, sown thickly now with wheat, in heavily manured drills three feet apart, will give half a dozen milch cows a great amount of good winter food. But if you waut the very best milk aud butter than can be made, feed, in addition to the green wheat, good corn fodder, cut up with a knife aud placed in a tight barrel, on which pour boiling water and cover with a blanket, and to this add four to eight pounds a day of pea meal for each cow. Wheat and other small grain should now be sown as soon as possible, even to some neglect of the cotton, which usually impedes tho sowing of fall grain. And we would urge upon all Mat they sow largely, and on good land, and with as thorough preparation and good manwring as can reasonably be given. Food is always iu demand, and likely to be more so in toe future than the past, so that there is no dunger of ovor-stooking the market, noteven if grain w ere grown to the en tire exclusion of cotton—though that is not recom mended. With the large sowing of grain last fall and the bountiful harvest, and with the extra crop of corn planted and good returns, we still see food of all kinds high, and it will probably re main so. Then, by all means, put in large crops of fall and winter grain as soon as can bo conveni ently done. We have gone into this contest to win—each one of us has all he is, or expects to bo, staked on the rosult. And though wo may not have com prehended fully all the evils and hardships which may befall us before we get through it, yet we must bear them bravely aud nobly, and never despair nor repine. Unless we oan bear any aud every evil probably iu store for us. we neither do serve our liberty^jjor aro we made of tbe stuff which can long maintain liberty and free Govern ment. And with all the discomforts around us, ami looming up in the near future, let us nerve our selves to bear them, and let us labor too, aud set our invention to work, to turn the evil into pre sent and future good. Tli© Greed lor Office. One of the greatest evils from which we have suffered in the past, au evil arising out of the very nature of our institutions, but not neoewarily in. separable perhaps from free government, was the inordinate passion for office- seekiug displayed by a portion of the people, and the consequent ten dency to pander to popular passions for the sake of office. The greed for office had become a chronic affection with some men, and from year’s end to year’s end the whole business of their lives seemed to be to contrive some plan by which to get office, or to continue themselves in office. And this conduct, besides evidencing a natural character of man that ought never to have office, has contributed all the time to degrade the indi vidual in his own estimation, unless be were hope lessly dead to shame and self-respect, while it prompted to the most despicable arts to win pop ular, if even temporary, applause,and thus tended always to demoralisation of both the individual office-seeker and the people. And the evil did not stop with the officer-seek er, and with the voters whom his effrontery and guile and chicanery demoralized, but it worked serious detriment to the public service and the general good, by driving good men, and those who really respected themselves and the people, into private life, in a great measure. The arts which the office-seeker plied in his nefarious and leath some and corrupting courte, were such as the pure and upright shrunk from, and they preferred Hitherto remain in privacy than accept a post tion in which they were at constant disadvantage, for the simple reason that they were pure and up right. And so, except in rare oases, where great talents and commanding worth combined to set their seal upon the true man, in such manner that the demagogue slunk away instinctively, the people could not refrain from doing homage, it is notoriously true tliat we have allowed our offices, from the highest to the lowest, to bo filled by the very men who ought not to have been thought of for such a thing. Fellow-citizens, we rnustamoncT vastly in this particular, if we want a good, and permanently good, Government. It is our first great duty now, in the coming elec tions, to begjn a reformation in this important particular. In determining for whom we should cast our votes, a prime consideration is, to be sure and avoid giving them to those persons who, in the past, have been notorious office-seekers, always seeking to advance themselves, uud hesitating at no disreputable means to secure their aims. We ought, too, to be wary of those who have been connected with the old concern, and, while it is not always prudent to cast aside all such men, yet, as between such and others equal in other respects, it is safest to take the new men. The old have generally got into bad habits, and have kept bad coftjpany, and we can’t well be too cautious about supporting them. It is not well to put “ new wine into old bottles,” nor is it well to be gin our new career with the same agents we have heretofore employed—and most especially of that class which has made office seeking a business. And in this connection tgc cannot too strongly protest against those who hold one office and are seeking another. Particularly would we warn the people against those who hold on to the military service with one hand, while grasping at civil office with the other, from candidates for Congress down to candidates for tbe Legislature. Many have gone into military service for the sole purpose of benefiting themselves in their political aspirations, and as the abandonment of the service in which they are engaged may work an injury to that service, they ought not seek to abandon it at such a time as this. And while the policy of electing military men to civil office may justly be regarded as,fraught with some danger to republi can institutions, yet where the citizen ban served his country faithfully and well in camp and field, bis short military experience perhaps ought not to debar him absolutely from civil service, if he will but wait till the country can span him from the public defence. It is the duty of all to serve their country to tbe full extent of their ability, but no service, and no amount of service, can give any man uotoim to any office. It is id politics a 6 in religion—no amount of faithful dis charge of duty can create a claim, for the full dis charge of every obligation is but a “reasonable service,” the.neglect of which is justly punishable, but the doing of which is only what each ought to do, without the hope of reward. Put the brand of condemnation, at any rate, upon the chronic office-seekers, and thus take the first step in the right direction. Col. Phillip’s Legion.— By r* letter received in this city by Robert Walton, Esq., from his sou Robert Walton, Jr., an officier in Col. Phillip s Legion we have the intelligence that the Legion had been detained at Lynchburg longer than ex pected, from the want of transportation for their cavalry, Ac. The movement is now onward for Lewisburg. The order to march for scenes of more active duty and danger was received with satisfaction. We erroneously stated a short time since that the region was not yet mustered into .err.ee. It appears by this letter that they were mustered in en the 2d of August, and were paid off on the Ist instant. I (Inhuman Treatment of our Prisoners.— -The Baltimore Exchange, of the 10th inst., says : “A note from one of the party arrested on Saturday last, at the North Point bouse, upon the charge of leaving the city with the intention of joining the Southern army, and who are still confined in the middle district police station, states that the first four men of the party captured were gagged in the mouth, with a cord running back of the head ; their hands tied together • their arms drawn down over their knees, and a stick run through their legs, to ‘buck’ them. The filth one was tied to a fence Aro wo Altogether Heady I Buttles are the order of the dav, and in the eager impatience which prompts us to look for feats of arms, we overlook-; we forget, the fasov battles that ore fought each day, but never her a.ded the bailies of duty, of forbearance, of kindliness, of love and of selt-sacrifice, in which selfishness, and-prejudice, and evil passions are conquered. Let us stop and think—are we all ready for the peaceful battle of the ballot next Wednesday, on the issue of which so much oi I good or of evil depends? With au enthusiasm, a | devotion, a holy fervor, seldom equalled, never surpassed, oar people have abandoned all business 1 aud pleasure and the things which usually give 1 enjoyment, to fight the bating of their country and to drive the invader and the desecrator of our soil to hiwliome of iniquity aud pollutiou. Upon ; those of us who boar not arrne in the ti U rests a i responsibility ns grave as upon the warrior. W ith j us it remains to show that we aro as equul. in our civil capacity, to the requirements of the hour, as our soldiers have proved themselves equal to the msk they have undertaken. We would to heaven that every one of us sjaoud i bo endowed with the spirit that the hour demands As it is not all of life to live, so neither is it ail ot ■ free government that we be able to beat the ene my which denies our right to govern ourselves. We must govern ourselves wisely, and we must place the wise, the virtuous, the patriotic as rulers i iu the temple, or our experiment stands a miser a i ble and ignoble failure. Are wo ready and able ; and determinei to sink all partisan considera | tions, to conquer, each for himself, all.our petty j prejudices, all our mercenary feelings, all our j transitory aud despicable caprices, and to lorget everything, when we go to the polls, but the public good f Aie we prepared aud willing, ail j to make and kar.p our solemn covenant, that no i consieLration hut the b**t interests of our beloved J country, pruaeut and future, shall control onr uo ; tion at the polls next Wednesday ? Nothing was I ever more forcibly impressed upon our miud than ) this solemn conviction, that uuless we can miti | gate tho intensity of party feeling which ha* 1 characterized us hs a people in the past, unless we cun rise superior to selfish feeling, unless we will put under ban every man who is a notorious plaoe-hunter uud self-seeker, and support only the worthy aud tho true man, we aro lost us a nation, * aud our government shall become but a mocker) and a scoffing. Unless we discharge our civil duties aright, and exercise the great and mesti mable privilege of a free people, the elective Iran chise, intelligently aud patriotically, it were vain indeed that our men pour out their life-blood on the plains, to relieve us from the domination of the puritan and fanatics of the North. We must be true to ourselves, or we are un done. Jit her the Government or the people must change, is a prophecy*we wish here and now to put upon record. We mud abandon our evil w ays of the past, or this Government cannot exist long u» it is. We are in the midst of u great re volution, the end of which no man can forsoe, and the revolutionary spirit, when once unchained, is a fierce monster, to which metes and bouuds can not easily be set. The chief, almost tho sole desire ofonrh«.*rt is, that wo may preserve for our selves and our children, our liberties, that we may not only be forever free and distinct from, and uncontaminated by, tho wretched agrarianism. the intolerance, the fanaticism, the intermeddling, of the puritans, politically, socially, commercially, but that we may maintain for all time, a strong, stable, permanent, good free government, based upon the popular virtue aud intelligence, capable of giving equal and ample protection to the high est aud the lowest citizen, against foreign foes ami internal evil-doers. But we fraukly confess that if, m this great crisis, involving to a vast extent the destinies of nations and the future of mankind, onr people shall, against light and knowledge, follow the old path and blindly and wickedly do the bidding of partisans aud tricksters, of con temptible office-hucksters and charlatans, our faith in man’s capacity will be greatly shakeu, and we shall consider it a duty incumbent on power and genius to direct the energies of this revolution iu such manner as shall, after securing independence, best promote internal tranquility domestic peace, and social happiness, regardless of means and of forms. We hear much of the necessity of harmony, and the putting aside of party and party feoling, but we fear that our people are not sufficiently im pressed at heart with that necessity In our judgment every thing depends en these. We aro battling for a separate political existence, with an enemy which has three times our population, live times our ready money, superior in armaments and munitions aud means of transportation, which has command of the seas and an unrestricted com inunieation with all the world, while we are hem med iu and scaled up, and staud alone with tin* prejudices of a world against our social iustitu tions. Against these we array the superior char aotei and courage and unity ot our people, the spirit of freemen, the justice of our cause, and the production of one great staple, from tho thraldom of which commerce and manufactures constantly strive—we hope and believe in vain—to rid them selves. Are there any so blind, so infatuated, uu not to seo that without unity we are lost? Wc have shown unity in taking up arms, in contribu ting onr means, in giving our bodies and our blood —we come uorv to test at the ballot-box that unity, and to show by ads, which speak louder than words, whether that nnity is a reality in regard to offioe, and whether we shall recognize party aud chicanery and intrigue as the qualifications, or honesty, capacity and fidelity, regardless of the past, regardless of party enmities, and regardless of all electioneering trickery. We beseech the people that -they prove then faith by their works. Unity we insist, is tho first necessity of our Government. Without it we must fail—and it is the duty of Government to compel unity, in the great peril in which it finds itself. But if a large and respectable minority ot the people is to he ostracised at tho polls from every office o 1 honor avid trust, if tho tricksters and wire-workers are to be put over the heads ot honest men who will not condescend to sac,rifle* their self-respect in the dirty pool of party and intrigue, then eotnpuhery unity may engender civil w<£r, and will, in our judgment, in less than tweuty years. Think of these things, fellow citizens, and be sure to so cast, your votes as will produce harmony indeed, by putting down the partisans and office-seekers, for, us the Lord, liveth, by that path alone shall we have indepen donee of our enemies and peace at horn* Reflect upon the best means of securing thus bar mouy and avoiding bitter feeling, in casting you* vo*es. Vote honestly and openly and conscien tiously for the best men, and those whose election will secure and perpetuate harmony-*-vote for Judge Nirhet for Governor, and Alexander C. Walker for Senator, and thus you shall show that you will put down tricksters, demagogues, parti nans and incompetents. An Appeal for Arms. The undersigned would respectfully iuforui th : itizens of Georgia ; and especially of North Fan tern Georgia ; of the fact that our regiment of Infantry is now ordered to rendezvous at Savon nah, G*., on the 24th of October; to remain on the coast during the Winter, and then to go wher ever ordered. We are still wanting two or three companies to complete the organization ; but Governor Browi assues us, that, should we lull to get’tbo companies be wil 1 call out, (of those tendered him) enougl to complete the Regiment, so that the organization shall not fail on that account. But this promise upon the part of his Excellency, is based upon the supposition that we will have procured enougl country rifles and double barrel shot guns to arm the regiment, as he cannot accept companies uu armed. We have procured enough to arm say seven or eight companies—we wish you to give us the bal ance. Those wishing to aid in this good cause will send them to my address, Lexington, Ga , or to, the several Clerks ol the Superior Court in this part of the State who,, will forward according to or der. Those who have subscribed guns will please send them in immediately. All who, in auy way, mays see proper to aid us, will receive our war mest thanks. T. B. Harben. The Richmond Examiner has recently published two very severe editorial articles in opposition to. the election of Mr Stkpbexb to the Vice Presiden cy in November. The reasons assigned are, first, i that the Border States ought to have the office, ar.d secondly, that Mr. Stephens last year sup i ported Judge Douglas for the Presidency, aftei | his Norfolk speech, and was to the last a most in ! vet Crate Unionist, voting against the ordinance ot ! secession in the Georgia Convention, and refusing at first even to sign it. The Eramirur thinks our revolution would become an absurdity, in the event that Mr. Stephens, by the death of Pres; dent Davis, which is considered highly probable, should succeed to the chief executive office. The Examiner also says Mr. Stephens is the favorite of all the spoilsmen and place-hunters, which is news certainly to us in this benighted land. That paper mentions several gentlemen an fit success ors to Mr. Stephens, including John Bell of Ten nessee—but that is well understood as a mere tub to the what**, there being no more intention to be glow the office upon John Bell than upon the angel Gabriel. This is a move, we believe, made by certain parties in Georgia, and it may become necessary to unmask them. The Vice President elected next November will almost surely become the President, perhaps within twelve months, but at any rate after six years, and we can well under stand how very anxious certain men are to fill the office. Important, if True.—A rumor has reached here through passengers from the West, says the Savannah Republican, that an interview took piace in Tennessee last week between Gen. (Sum tor) Anderson and Gen. A. 8. Johnston, during the former promised the latter to aid him in expelling the Federal troops from the State of Kentucky. It is Raid that the endorsement of Fremont’s infamous proclamation by Lincoln has opened the eyes of Gen. Anderson to the real in tention of the Abolition Government at \V ashing ton, and that he intends to resign his commis sion forthwith. We give the report for what it in worth.
