Hi mpiiuny Marshall's Forces Disbandko.—
We have the best authority for stating that the
rebel force Under Humphrey Marshall has been
disbanded, and it is believed that the disconten

their homes in Henry county. The force con
sisted of two hundred and fifty foot and one hun
dred and fifty cavalrymen. They were all bad
ly armed, and for the most part miserably clad.

Richmond; October 4.- President Davis yester

Among the troops in line were the brigades of
Generals Wulker, Longstreet, Oocke, and Jones,

The review lasted three and a half hours and is
said tyjiave been quite a brilliant affair. Imme

!*}*. M. The report of a battle having taken
, place some davs ago, between Lee and HoZeu
ev&ntz, which 1 warned you yesterday was not
j reliable, turns out to have been all moonshine.—
A.battle, however, was undoubtedly fought yes
ter*kiy, (Thursday, October fid,) on the Green
brier River. Gen. Reynolds, who, with a force of
\UOO Ohio troops, has recently occupied Cheat
Mountain, began his march toward Staunton,
with a view of taking that plaea. Me soon en
countered Gen Henry R. Jackson, who, with his
brigade of ‘2,500 Georgians, was strongly en
trenched on the Greenbrier River Reynolds im
mediately led his force to the attack. The light
that ensued was a hot one, las iog during four
hours. After repeated assaults upon our posi
tion, the enemy was finally repulsed with great
slaughter. The loss on our side was compara
tively small. This much is authentic, but no fur
ther paiiiculars are giveu.

“And tbero were nme of them, all stundin’ round

My dear brethren The last surmbnt I preached i
you, was ot) the subject of sperits. In that dis- j
course, i told you ot the diflereut kind of sperits, j
evenly of the sperits, ot just men made perfect,
for there was“uiue of them all standin‘ round the |
door, and the last one of them said they would i
take sugar in there « and a little boy, only eight
3 ear* old, says he, Pap, I’ll take a little, if i kills
iiir and in tfi** present discourse, I will tell you
j i»t the use that is made of sperits.
Iu the hrst ph*ce, my bretlnen, there are those
who don’t use those gilts of uutur iu their purity,
nor as there own conscience dictates—tor instance
Ihe ccudy-iAaVs—but they are iu the habu ot
I pouring out tangleleg and buckeye in killin'
hosts, and tlidy are gulped down by the people
.out m summer aud in winter, iu seed time and in
1 harvest-, au and the “last one of them said they
! would take sugar in tbere’n aud a little boy eight
years old, says he, Fap, I’ll take a little if it k.. s
me ! Nh'v, my brethren, do you spose these
candy m:c-j keer lor the good-of the country, or
the internal comfort of the people? Not a bit;
, lore! they had a sly chance, aud they thought
they omiid make anything by it, they wou and take
, a feller off by himself ami treat him to pop skull
• red eye, and there might be uiue of them all
standin’ round the door, and the l-a-s-t one of
them, if they wasuxt, would say they would take
j sugar in tbere'n.
iiut ii’v brethreng, there is another class of
; spent* rappers, who are very different from this
! class. The objection i have to them 18 that they
are too keerful. If you keep> a look out, you can 'a
j 'Jtost auy time see one of these fellows step off to
; the spent land, by his self, and under the pre
tence ot the muly-grubs, or some other atlment,

Thesv tel.ows, my brethnng, never buv any

to candy u* f who treats the most, and they may
aiways be seen “skmdin’ round the door.”* TheV

Wa* the brightest thing and neatest;
Its hands, though old, had a touch of gold,
And its chime rang still the 6weeieat ;
’Twas a monitor, too, though its words were few,
Yet they lived, though nations altered;
ADd us voice, still strong, warned old and youDg,
When the toice of friendship faltered !

For ten I’ve given warning: -

Special Ijtxf/atchez to the Philadelphia Inquirer
Washington, Sept. 24-.—A grand rtvi w took
place, this afternoon, of cavalry and artillery, on
a large field, to the east of the Capitol. Presi
dent Lincoln with h:s lady, and Secretary Chase,
were present in a carriage. Gens. McClellan,
McDowell, Heintzleman and Maustield and the.r
ataSs were also present. Two Princes, foreign
officers recently appointed to our army, rode into
the field, at four r. M., and a national salute was
fired. The artillery and cavalry formed into the
shape of an L. The artillery drew up in double
rows a mile long, and the cavalry a quarter of a
mile in the front, making the bottom of the L.
In the front were five thousand spectators on foot,
mounted, aud in vehicles of ali descriptions. AH
j Washington seemed to have turned out on the
; occasion. Among the crowd we noticed Mrs. *
! Gen Tai W. H. Smith, mounted ,on an iron grey !
! horse, and who was shown considerable attention 1
! by Gen. McClellan, and a report was soon circu- 1
iaied that it was his wile. This report, of course, 1
j led every one to try to catch a glimpse of her. ,
Sue had on a riding habit of biue flannel, with
United States Army buttons liberally distributed
j over it. She was pretty, about twenty years of
age, and was tastefully attired.
: Nearly every one who was there left under the
| iuea t-jat they had seen Mrs. McClellan, and two
aru&ts irom New York illustrated papers have
i sketches of her. Miss Chase, mounted on a large
! bay horse, with a riding habit of military style,
attracted nearly as much attention, as sh# gal
| loped around among the crowd with military
i gents.
Heveral foreign consuls with their families—
Secretary Wells and family, Secretary Smith,
Gen. McClellan, the Princes, and others, rode all
through the cavalry tnd artillery, inspecting
them, and then came over to the centre ol the
field, where the President’s carriage wasstauding.
The cavalry then passed in review'. The head oi
column wus the Fifth Regulars, who were togeth
er to day for the first time in five years, with a
I band of thirty-two pieces, mounted.
General Banks has been gradually reduciug the
i distance between bis headquarters and Wat-hTng
! tou for several weeks past. He does not appear to
j be much alarmed at the presence of the rebels on
the opposite side ot the Potomac, as he is report
ed to have stated a clay or two since, that he was
confident of being able to manage any force the
rebels choose to send over to him. His force is ar
ranged so that at any time, however short, he can
control it effectively. Mrs. Banks alternates be
tween Washington and her husband’s camp, ren
dering efficient aid, in such a way as only a woman
can.
The Cabinet was in session this morning, dis
cussiug the disaster to our forces at Lexington,
Missouri. Certain individuals, not very friendly
i to General Fremont, charge that he could have
! prevented the necessity of Mulligan’s surrender
by earlier action, which would have enabled rein
forcements to have reached Lexington in time to
have prevented so disastrous a defeat. Recent
advices received from St. Louis by Fremont’s
friends, however, state that he had no troops to
spare, and that it was entirely impossible for him
to strengthen Mulligan’s position.
Louis Phillippe D’Orleans, Conipte I)e Paris,
heir of Louis Phillippe ; Robert D’Orleans, Due
De Chartres, brothers, were appointed Aids to
General McClellan, with the rank of Captain, but
they refuse to accent any pay for services.
jjjPrince De Joinville aud his nephew, and Gener
als Scott and McClellan, dined with Secretary
Seward to-day.
A iashioonable wedding took place this morn
ing, at the Rev. Dr. Hall’s Church. Major H.
F. Clark, Chief Commissary, when on General
McClellan’s Staff, was married to the neice of
General Zachary Taylor. The President, Gener
als Scott and McClellan, Secretary Seward and
others, were present. The church was crowded.
There is no truth in the report that a commis
sion has been giveu prince Salm Salm, of Prussia.
Iraportaiift Movement* In Kentucky*
A gentleman arrived in the city to-aay from
Eastern Kentucky by way of Bowling Green, who
reports that Camp Dick Robinson was evacuated,
i with the exception of the sick, on Sunday, the
22d nit. A portion of the foree went to Lexington
and Frankfort to guard those places; and the re
mainder, about four thousand strong, march to a
point called Big Hill, about sixty miles nearer the
Tennessee line. The object is to fortify this hill
with the view' of preventing Gen. Zollicofier’s
march into the interior of Kentucky. Our infor
mant says the position is a very strong one, and
.susceptible of being made a very formidable ob
struction to Zollicoffer’s progress.
Gen. Zollicoffer has not, as reported by the
Louisville Journal, advanced to Manchester, in
Clay county. He was fortifying Cumberland Ford
with a view of making that a strong point before
he advanced.
From Bowling Green, we learn that our troops
have not advanced beyond Green river. They are
1 busily engaged in throwing up fortifications at
ihe latter point on both sides of the river. That
beyond the river is nearer the town of Mum'ord
villi.
The Federal* are fortifying Elizabeth to vvn,
where they have about seven thousand troops
and eight pieces of cannon. They have a small
force at Muldrough’a hill. Up to within a few
days, they were receiving considerable accessions
to their force, but within a few.days.their increase
has been very, small, showing that Kentuckians
are not responding to the call of Gen. (Sumter) 1
Ander*on.
There are about fifteen hundred refugees en
camped in the vicinity of Green river, and 1,000
at Bowling Green, embracing men of every age
and condition in life. These men have been com
pelled to flee to save their lives or to escape an
imprisonment little less intolerable than death it
s’dlf. They represent that a perfect reign of ter
ror exists wherever the minions of Lincoln are in
the majority or have the power thiough the in
tervention ot troops sent, to overawe them.
So far we have heard of no ladies being arrest
ed. but we know of ladies who have been com
; milled to flee the State in order to prevent arrest.

I high iu authority* lb the Southern army now in
j Kentucky, are now refugees in this city, having
| arrived here a day or two since, and they escaped !
a posse sent by Geu. Anderson, it is presumed to j
arrest them, by only a few hours. The petty tool ;
of a petty tyrant cannot stop with arresting brave '•
and patriotic men, but he must needs arrest and
imprison defenseless women if he can, because |
their sons and brothers and husbands dare to be 1
lreemeu.— Aa&ftviUe Cnion, sth.
We conversed last evening with a gentleman, |
1 formerly resident iu Memphis aud late of Louis-
I ville, who arrived here on yesterday, direct from
the latter city, having succeeded in making his
1 way .South with great difficulty, by way of B irds-
I tow i and itlooinfield.
j He says that the strictest system of espionage
; and police is established in Louisville, and that
ruffians, in the pav of the Uncoluites, are daily
engaged in hounding after the tootsteps of every
! man suspected of sympathy with the. South, whom
they report to headquarters upon the least provo
cation, a fit subject (or Black-Republican attention
Between four and five hundred Kentuckians,
mostly a disbanded portion of the old “.State’
Guards,” came down with this gentleman to join
Gen. Buckner at Munldrdsville—each man bring
ing a gun with him, which he had carefully con
cealed until the time of departure. The enemy
got wind of their begirs South, and sought to cut
them oft', but without avail. The celerity of their
movements doubtless saved them, as "they ad
vanced in twenty-fours fifty-four miles, traveling
night and day.
The fair and patriotic ladies of Kentucky, our
informant says, greeted them with enthusiasm all
aloug the line down, aud upon their generous
and bo ntiful offerings the gallant little hand of
enles were forced to depend for their sustenance.
They arrived safely at Gen. Buckner's camp on
Tuesday last.
vVe learn farther that the number of Federal
troops between Elizaoethtown and I.ouisvtlle is
generally estimated at from ten to twelve thou
sand, certainly nnt more. Some few of them
- mostly Germans 1 were well drilled and equipped,
but the greater number were ragged recruits,
totally without discipline.
Gen Buckner’s force at Muufordsville and Bow
ling Green is supposed to be between twelve and
titieeu thousand, and is rapidly increasing.
Our informant says that the whole State of
Kentucky is tn a blaze of excitement, and the
Stale rights men are rushing to the defense of the
Kouth trom every quarter. This statement is cor
roborated by our intelligence from other sources,
aLd leads us, more than anything else, to hope
tor the speedy redemption ot this down-trodden
people from the iron rule of tyranny.— Memphu

We learned last evening that Gen. Buckner had
returned with his brigade, from Hopkinsville to
Bowling Green, leaving Gen. Alcorn, with his
Mississippi Brigade, in possession of the former
' place. We are reliably informed that Col. James
I r. Buckner, who beaded the Lincoln troops that
were captured by our Gen. Buckner at Hopkins

AND ton. LYNCH CO.n'DG—
THIRD GEORGIA IN THE FIGHT !
We are indebted to a friend, of Madison, Geo.,
for the following letter, giring an account of the
brilliant enzaceinent off the North Carolina Coast:
. Elizabith City, N. C , )
< Oet. 4th, 1861 j
Hr. £.id'< ' :—Being tbns far, returning from |
Roanoke Island, and detained for a few hours,
I propose a abort account of the Third Regiment ,
Georgia Volunteers. And first of all: on res- i
terdar forty-nine prisoners from Hatterass were
placed on a barge in front of the eamp, who, the !
mgbt before, had been taken by an expedition
commanded by Cos. Wright-, and composed of the
Dawson Grays, Athens Guards and Wilkinson
Rifles. The command were on board the steamers
Raleigh, Curlew, and Junaluska, a part of Com-
I modcre Lynch's squadron. These steamers were
armed with cannon. On Tuesday last, at 2)4' P.
, M., the whistles sounded, the “tribands” of the
' Confederate States kissed the rising breeie, and
off the little army and nary went : Commodore
! Lynch commanding all the steamers.
In two hours and a half the deep mouthed dogs
of war, let loose, told us in camp the work was i
going on. Presently, quicker and quicker came the
booming thunder, and soon several together, and
then at regular intervals; and thus it was, until
the white flag went up on board the steamer
Fanny, a part of theU.S. N. off Hatteras, and
~ tens ours.
She made all the resistance she could, but was
taken. Armed with two pieces (one a rifled can -
1 non,i and those 4v men (one a contraband of
' war in uniform'—she was carrying immense
' army stores to the 14th Indiaua Regiment, then
establishing a camp about 20 miles trorn ours.
| Yesterday the captured Fanny was unloaded,
I and before now has, in all probability, done us
good service. For as we came away the cannon,
at 5 P. M., when we were 15 miles off, apprised
us that the fleet and army were again in motion.
The Fanny’s cargo is very valuable, probably
worth #70,000 or #BO,OOO, One item is 1,000 army
overcoats.
The prisoners are detachments from various
companies at datteras, aud were commanded by
Capt. Hart, of the !4tb Indiana Regiment.—
Twelve of them ure from the New York 9th Regi
ment, and were acting as artillerymen.
They are safe, in good hands, and treated as
prisoners of war. Lieut. Harris, of the Home
Guards, had them in charge when we left, and all
hands ou the barge were desirous to find all the j
comforts its open decks afforded, in the bright j
sunshine.
This was indeed an episode in the life of the regi
meut. fSince taking quarters there, they have
worked day and night a good part of the time,
doing it more rapidly than the Engineer could
plan it. Threu batteries of guns, so far as the
soldiers could finish them, were completed in less
than ten days, and the black-throated ‘peace
makers” now lie quietly in their places, ready to
shake the very earth, when an enemy shall dare
to pu3s. It is not right to say fully what the work
is ; it must be sure to realize the labor these forti
fications required at tho hands es our soldiers.
Very much of it wag done without proper impli
meuts, in a burningsun, or rainy night, without a
word of complaint or dissatisfaction. Col. Wright
told me 1 ought to see the boys cleaning up the
ground with pocket knives, and how they enjoyed
the fun.
The regiment is full of life, and unwilling to
lose the results of this work, which, with severe
fighting, ought to give it a larger victory and
many more prisoners. It has lost only seven or
eight men by death since its organization. And
after measles and mumps were over, no large
number of men at auy time, have been siuce.
Away down here, or thhre in North Carolina, it
was very pleasant in the deep thick w-oods of
Roanoke Island,to be with 900 or 1,000 of Georgia’s
best men aud blood, all, all at fever heat for a
good fight.
It. was my good fortune to arrive at the eauton
ineut on Saturday evening, and as our arrival
was the first in a week with a mail, of course we
had a hearty Georgia’s welcome.
But a little while passed and very many were
reading long and loving letters from dear ones
far “away down in Dixie.”
My stay was very well occupied; I enjoyed the
hospitalities of Staff Officers, captains and pri
vates, and I believe they ali live alike.
And now, Mr. Editor, it any other regiment
from Georgia wants bard work to do, let it enter
list against this 3d—to frolic, work or fight—and
its hands are full.
Rev. R. B. Lester is Chaplain, and he gave us a
good sermon on Sunday morning. Four of the
Captains and many of the men are professors of
religion.
I would like to name certain officers whom I
knew before they came here, but, sir, they are
all, officers and men, from the State of Georgia,
and have come here to do just one thing— their
duty to thoir country and themselves.
Before your readers get this, someone will
give you a full account of all their acts and do
ings in the enterprises just now ou their hands.
Os their success there is no doubt. “ The next
gale that sweeps from the North ” to you, may
say, Hatteras is again “ we’ll see what we shall
see.” T ours, Ac.
AtrociouM Treatment ol our Prisoner*.
A number of our soldiers, who were taken pris
oners at the battle of RHb Mountain, on the 12th
of June last, arrived here yesterday from their
place of imprisonment in Ohio, having passed the
lines a! Norfolk under a flag of truce.
Mr. David Comfort, one of the number, former
ly a resident of Charlotte Court-House, in this
State, gives us au intelligent and deeply interest
ing account of the atrocious treatment i’n Ohio of
a number of the prisoners taken at the Rich Moun
tain and released on parole, with the distinct un
derstanding that they were to be sent home.
Mr. Comfort, with lourteen of his fellow pris
oners released on parole, alter beiug detained for
a long time at Beverley, was at last sent into
Ohio, supposing that they were to be returned
heme. Ou arriving at Columbus, Ohio, they
were all arrested and imprisoned by the order of
Governor Dennison. The place of their im
prisonment was at “Camp Chase,” about four
miles from Columbus, where a large pen, closely
' planked up with sentinel towers, was made to
serve as a prison. Within this enclosure of plank
which was about sixteen feet high, two long sheds
had been erected as places ofcontinement. These
were'divided into mere stalls without doors, and
without one single article of turniture, not even
bedding or blanket. Into these mere partitions
resembling, stalls for cattle, our soldiers were
thrusi. The suffering inflicted upon them almost
exceed belief. They were fed ou scanty rations
of crackers and mess pork. Sometimes they
were paraded as ofton as a dozen times a day to
be shown to visitors. Many of these were Ohio
ladies.
Besides the prisoners on parole, among whom
was Mr. Comfort, who were thrust into this vile
and brutal place of confinement, it was already
occupied by over one hundred citizens, of WesL
ern Virginia, captured by the army, besides some
twenty-tive soldiers taken in the various engage
ments in the West.
In giving us a relation of the sufferings of the
prisoners, Mr. Comfort mentioned incidents of the
brutal and savage treatment of our wounded cal
culated to affect the hardest heart. Owing to the
want of transportation, many of our poor wound
ed soldiers had to be carried in the arms of their
comrades. The surgeon at Camp Chase refused to
supply bandages when they were asked for, and
those of their comrades who attended the wound
ed are said to have been unable to procure soap
to wash their wouuds.
One of these wounded s-ildiers, taken at Rich
Mountain, had been shot by a ball through the
mouth, fracturing his jaw,"after he had surren
dered. As he was standing among his Yankee
captureis, a Federal Colonel rode up to him with
a cocked pistol, ..emauding, with a fearful oath,
“if he was oue of the d—d rebels who had been
shooting at his men." The soldier did uot reply,
when the brave Yankee officer, with another bru
tal oath, discharged his pistol in his mouth.
The release of the paroled prisoners from Camp
Chase was finally procured, after weeks of great
suffering and worse indignity- through the inter
vention, as it is understood" of Gen. McClellan,
who bad commanded the Federal forces at Rich
Mountain, and had engaged to send our prison
ers home. Mr. Comfort had written to Gen. Mc-
OK-llau of their imprisonment in Ohio, and an
order was procured for their release from Gov.
Dennison on Saturday last. The prisoners were
transported by railroad to Belair, near Pittsburg,-
aud thence by way of Harrisburg and Baltimore
to Old Point, Virginia.
Mr. Comfort heard nothing on the route of the
defeat of the Federal forces in Virginia, beyond a
report at Wheeling that some general officer on
■ tb« Federal side had been mortally wounded,
i This is the only foundation we can Team for the
; wild report brought to Norfolk, and given with
1 such heedless extravagance by the press of a
sweeping and decisive victory on the Big Sewell
Mountain.
j On passing through York, Pa., one of our
i prisoners was approached by a respectable look
■ mg person. The man whispered in his ear that
“it would be death to speak his sentiments, but to
tel! the people in Virginia that the Yankees were
! going to h—il as fast as they could.” This was
the only evidence of “a Northern man with
Southern principles” encountered by our soldiers
in all of their sojourn and travel in the North.
We have obtamad the following list of our
prisoners confined in the pent Dear Columbus,
Ohio, including the fourteen paroled prisoners
who were released. The number is far larger
than we had any idea of. Among the names of
citizens kidnapped from Western Virginia, ate
said to be those of some six or seven old men,
over seventy years of age. The list will be scanned’
with general interest. Let ail the suffering and
sorrow which it imports be remembered, and be
heard in the clamour which every .day grows more
mud and argent for retributive justice :— RicA~

Westill adhere to our opinion that there will be

the hopelessness of their cause. Thev are now

To the Editor of ihe €h> ji, icU JkSenti.nl :
I dislike to complain, or to find fault with any
of the arrangements or plans of our new Govern
ment. I bad rather snbmit to wrong and injustice,
as long as they are tolerable, than, by complaining
and fault-finding, furnish a preitXt which our ene
mies may ut-e to our detr meet. Bnt wrong may
become sooppressive, and injustice so galling and
severe, that, to withhold remonstance were to be
recreaut to duty. Under these convictions, I
write these paragraphs, believing that the justice
of my complaint is so manifest, that it .needs but
; to be stated, to ensure prompt measures to cor
! rect the wrong.
We have all seen with pride and pleasure the ‘
noble, generous emulation of our triends at home, j
iu providing, and sending to j
supplies for sick and wounded soldiers. Every
pa .er that comeß ftom Georgia, brings intelli- i
genes of the formation of Associations to aid this j
object, and of large and liberal contributions to it
by individuals aud societies. It is charity and be- j
nevolence on a grand and magnificent scale— '
worthy of the generous, whole-souled people who
are so active in it. We appreciate very highly,
this considerate care for the comfort of suffering
so!diers, and cannot too highly commend the mo^
; Dt'os which prompt it. But* do our friends at
i home, who are thus laboring, and expending their
j money for these hospital stores, know what be
comes of them—how they are disposed of, aud
who are the beneficiaries of t hem ? A plain state
t meut facts as they exist here, v&nd I presume
i elsewhere besides here,) mav serve to enlighten
them, and guide them, perhaps, in the distribu
tion of any future contributions. We have aL
| ready said these supplies are collected in Rich
, moud, as a Central Depository. As to what other
i points portions of them mav be sent, yourcorres- :
| poodent is not advised. At camp Bartow there
j are several thousand troops, among them, two
I regiments from Georgia, and 1 hesitate not to say
j that we, in this portion of Virginia, have been ex
| posed to more suffering and sickness and di
comfort of every kind, than troops iu any other
: portion of the service. And yet the only hospitals
! into which we have been able to get our sick, are
! the houses, many of them very small and unconi
! toriable, which the people of the country have va
cated. These are crowded with the sick—every
| room and corner of u room in whic-i there is space
to spread a blanket (tor the luxury of a bed is not
to be thought ot,) is occupied by a sick soidier.—
she rooms are ottenu eglected and uncleauly, aud
I the chances seem tar great .r that the nurse will
be prostiated by his suffering patient, than that
j the latter cau recover.
If it be said that this is the best that cau be
done—that the country affords np better accom ;
modations tor the sick, the reply is at hand, that j
either hospital stores ought to be brought here i
where they are needed, or the sick be carried to •
where these comforts are all provided. We can !
not usually get furloughs for our sick, at least uu- !
til they are so low that it is impossible to remove. >
I have seeu soldiers droop and sicken aud die iu j
their tents, With no bed but their blanket, and I
no covering but their blanket, when, iif they
could coulu have been removed from the discom- |
forts of the lamp, or could have had, even 111 I
camp, the appliances which our friends have so j
| liberally provided, their lives would have been [
preserved, and they restored early to health. I j
have seen others linger for long tedious weeks in
feeble health, wholly unfit for service, and with
no prospect of early fitness for service, as long as
they have to submit to the privations and ex
posures or the camp. And yet, we have been
unable to remove them to more agreeable quar
ters out of camp, ana we have had no means to
tarnish their tents with those things so necessary
to the comfort of the sick.
it is certain the sick soldiers ought to have the
benefit ot these things that are provided for
them. Especially ought those soldiers, whose
friends and families have made large contribu
tions for this object—whose mothers, and sisters
and wives, have toiled with aching hearts, aud
tear-dimmed eyes, as they have thought of the
sufferings of distant dear ones, which they hoped
thus to mitigate—to be the beneficiaries of some
of this liberality aud toil.
The distance may be so great as to render the
removal of the sick from camp to Richmond, or
any other regularly established hospital, hazard
ous; but how easy a matter would it be to fix up,
and furnish comfortably, a hospital at a convenient
distance from every camp ? The exptnse of Hit
ting up a suittble house, or houses, is something;
and the transportation of Hospital supplies is
something; but who is there so meari l so low iu
the scale of humanity, as to hesitate on account of
these considerations, when the health and the
Live* of soldiers, who have adventured all in their
country’s defence, are the stake? My blood boils
with indiguation at the bare thought that any one
could be so reckless of right aud justice, as* well
as human suffering, and human life.
This thefi is our condition. Thoughour frieuds
have contributed liberally for hospital purposes,
we cau neither get into a hospital (that deserves j
the.naino,-) when sick, nor get, in camp, the very
supplies which our friends and families have con
tributed; tend the condition becomes alarmingly
aggravated, afc the rigors of winter are gathering
around us. There is egregious fault some where,
(I will nok attempt to locate it) and those who are
responsible for it, will have a fearful account to
settle with their consciences, when they come to
sum up the amount of suffering aud death that it
has occagipned among the soldiers.
state of things continues here. I would
say to-those at home who have friends in the army
—more contributions to th t Hospital fund
I would not have you stifle your sympathy for
'suffering soldiers, for God knows they need it all,
nor would I have you relax your liberal efforts in
their behalf.
Whatever contributions you desire to make,
whatever supplies you wish to furnish, send them
directly to the Regiment or companies, to which
• those'for whom they are designed are attached ;
then will they receive the benefit of them, other
wise (unless stationed convenient to some estab
lished hospital) they will be limited to little more
of comfort than is to be found in a soldier’s ordin
ary quarters and daily rations Anselm.
[Special Correspondence of the Chron. «£ Sent.]
From the First Georgia Regiment.
Camp Bartow, Sept. 29.
We are still laying here in inglorious ease, |
waiting for coming events, which at present do
not “cast their shadows before” very distinctly.
As usual, every day brings something new m the
wav of reports as to our location this winter, hut
we do not know anything reliable about it. From
the preparations which are being made here, I
think we will stay in this part of the State some
time larger, if not, all winter.
We have been kept busy for the last week or
two entrenching and fortifying our camp, build
ing “masked batteries,” and clearing woods
around the camp.
The present location of our regiment being con
sidered too much exposed, we have been clearing
up a camp grouud up on the mountain about a
mile 'back of where we are now, and in a much
stronger position.
We had a very severe rain storm here Friday,
which flooded everything iu our camp—there was
not a dry tent ou the ground. This morning
there was a heavy white frost and considerable ice.
You cau imagine from this what kind of weather
we are having. Our boys as a general thing
stand il very well, and I wonder that, there are
not more of them sick—a, we had to sleep for
the last three or four days in wet or damp blan
kets on the cold ground', and our tents afford but
little protection from the cold or the heavy dews
at night. Ido not know how we shall stand the
winter if we have to stay here.
We do not have to work very hard, as a certain
number of men are detailed every day for work,
so that we generally have every other day at
least to rest, and there being so many to do the
work, makes it light on all.
Gen. Jackson has moved his quarters over to
she right of our regiment—we being on the ex
treme right ot the camp—and will move back
with us when we change our camp. He has se
lected our regiment for his “ body guard,” so we
are told. He several times expressed a very high
opinion of us, as have all the officers here. Col.
Johnson, of the 12th Georgia, said a few days
ago, that of all tho troops he had seen in tho ser
vice, he would take our regiment in preference to
any. This was said to one of his own officers,
and not where he supposed it would be likely to
reach us. Such praise, coming from the officer
of another regiment from the same State, is not
without some weight.
There are still a great many of our men ab-
sent, from one cause or another, but I believe, for
all that, we have the largest regiment on the
ground.
Capt. Crump arrived here two or three days
ago. Lieut. Allen, and Russell of the Walker
Light Infantry, and Col. Ramsey, who has been
Siclt at the Springß some time, arrived here last
night.
A member of Company B, of our regiment,
came in a day or two ago—the first time he has
• been seen since the fight at Carrick’s Ford. He’
had been stopping with some family up near there
and has been quite sick, and every one had sup
posed that he was dead or had been taken by the
enemy.
Joha Stoy is still at “ Bonnerfield’s Mills,” and
has been sick ever since he was left there, aud is
atili unable to travel, though slowly recovering.
-Our boys are all well, as usual.
Y'ours truly, George.

People# Candidate
In the Southern Watchman we notice the name
of Col. Reese of Morgan mentioned for the Con
federate Congress, and the following extract from
a letter from CoL. Reese'
“Yours askiug me to signify my willingness to
serve, if elected to Congress, from the 6th District,
is before me.
“Nothing short of an imperious sense of duty
could mduce me, under the most favorable cir
cumstances, to become a candidate for Congress.
To desire or accept othce, for the sake of office, is
'iu my judgment, a jreat weafoiees s and one of
which, I trust, 1 shall never be guilty.
“The desire of every patriot (especially in these
times oi peril) should be usefulness. Aside from
every other consideration, the uncertainty as to
when I shall recover from an injury received
some mouths since, admonishes me that I might
do iujustict to the country, as well as to myself,
were I to couseut to the use of my name in the
premises. . »
1 will cheerfully support any safe-minded geu
tlemau who may be willing to stake fortuue, and
life for his country and ns freedom.”
Where office, office, is uow in such demaud,
nothing gratifies us so much as reading this ex
tract from a modest gentleman, a pure patriot.
We are pleased to learn that the name of Col.
Gus Reese is becomiug more and more popular
in the 6th District. Aud why should it not ? He
has been long, and favorably known to us.
Wherever he has served, ability, energy, talent,
modesty and patriotism have been apparent.

\t eekly Mail*-—How to «ct ISarly New#
A number of our subscribers, at various points
off the Railroads, where they have but weekly or
semi-weekly mails, huve adopted the plan of hav
ing the Daily Chronicle if- Sentinel sent to the
nearest Rost Office at which a daily mail is re
ceived, and from thence carried by the 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 b # e heard,
(independent of the interest which all must feel
in the progress of events,) the early reception of
news is an object worth the little trouble of this
plan. We recommend our friends to try it.
An Appeal lor Arm#.
The undersigned would respectfully inform the
itizens of Georgia ; and especially of North Eas
tern Georgia ; of the fact that our regiment of
Infantry is now ordered to rendezvous at Savan
nah, Ga., 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 of three companies to
complete the organization ; b*t Governor Brown
assues us, that, should wo ffeil to get'the companies
he will call out, (of those tendered him) enough
to complete the Regiment, so that the organization
shall not fail on that account. Bat this promise
upon the part of his Excellency, is based upon
the supposition that we will have procured enough
country rifles and double barrel shot guns to arm
the regiment, as he cannot accept companies un
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 seud them to my address, Lexington, Ga., or
to, the several Clerks ol the Superior Court iu this
part of the State forward according toor
der. Those who have subscribed guns will please
send them in immediately. All who, in any way,
mays see proper to aid us, will receive our war
mest thanks. ______ Hardee.

Tracing up a Rumor.— An exciting rumor of an
engagement in which our Georgia troops participa

the streets yesterday, which we employed an hour
in seduloubly endeavoring to trace to the original
source—but it was of no avail. The story started
formidable proportions —the next man who had
heard of it, curtailed it a trifle—the third stripped
it still more—and by the time we had reached
the fourth chap, there warn’t near enough left to
issue an extra for.
This reminds us of the traveler who was direct
ed on his way in a spacious well-beaten road ; by
and by it grew less in size; from a road it became
a lane ; from a lane it dwindled to a footpath ; and
narrowed down to a squirrel track and ran
up a tree.

sugar or a thousand hales of cotton, and so of any
other quantity, amt,subscribes the proceeds of one
half ol it to the Government, will receive, in in
terest upon the bonds he obtains, two or three ,
times the amount of the war tax assessed upon
him, and this calculation any one can make for
himself.”
The above paragraph occurs in a letter addressed
by Mr. Deßow, Superintendent of the Produce
Loan at Richmond, to a gentleman of Louisiana,
and was written August 29th. We have only re
cently seen the letter in print, and have seen it
highly commended. Mr. Deßow is an able man,
bnt he has made a most egregions mistake in
writing the paragraph above, as we shall easily
show.
We will take the case of a cotton planter in
Middle Georgia, or an average planter in any part
of this State, who produces one hundred bales of
cotton. How stands the case 7 He subscribes tho
proceeds of fifty bales, when sold—and the design
is that it shall be sold during the comiDg winter
and spring—for Confederate bonds, bearing inter
est at S por cent, per annum, payable semi-annu
ally. If the cotton brings him fifty dollars per bale,
clear of all expenses—estimating the bale at 500
pounds, and the price paid at ten cents per pound
—he will receive $2,500 in Bonds, the annual in
terest on which is S2OO. If the eettou be sold by
next January, he will receive his first semi-an
nual payment of interest, of SIOO, in July, the re
mainder in January, 1662. But, under t'ae cir-
cumstances, he cannot get eight cents for his
cotton, nor, if the whole subscribed cotton were
put on the market between this time and next
July, the blockade continuing, the war progress
ing, aud the Government Dever coming to his re
lief, could he get three cents. But putting the
price at seven ceuts—and ten thousand bales can
net find purchasers even at that price-in the whole
Confederacy while things remain as at present—
he would get say $1,750 in bonds, the interest oi
which is $l4O.
But the war tax has to be paid next May, come
what will, unless the law is repealed in November,
as it ought to be, unless a market can bo furnish
ed the planter, and what amount of that tax will
the producer of one hundred hales have to pay?
Will his interest on 8 per cent. Bonds—his S2OO
or his sl4o—be “twb or three times the amount
of the war tax assessed upon him,” as Mr. De-
Bow so confidently but so ignorantly declares?
Let us see. To produce one hundred bales of
cotton in Georgia, not only this year, which has
not proved very favorable to cotton, but for an
average of ten years, aud on an average of the -
whole State, requires the labor of thirty workers,
and the cultivation of two hundred to four bun
dred acres in that crop. On a plantation of thirty
workers there will be at least fifty negroes, worth
and to he assessed at twenty-five thousand dol
lars. The lands of such a planter, his carriages,
gold watches, plate, Ac., will amount to teu thous
and dollars more. His War Tax will be then $175
—very little less than his interest on the bonds
under the best circumstances, and in all probabil
ity a great deal more—aud this to be paid in mo
ney, before he has touched his first cent of inter
est. Aud if the tax is uot paid, his property is to
be summarily levied on and sold, and at a time,
too, when it can uot bring one fifth, perhaps not
one tenth of its estimated or assessed value. We
should be glad to know how—not regarding the
question of amount of tax as compared to pros
pective interest on Confederate bonds —he is to
pay the tax, or buy his bacon and clothing aud
shoes for his negroes unless he has money laid up
from former earnings. And plauters don’t usual
ly have money hoarded, nor even invested in uny
thing besides lands, negroes and mules. Still less
do they have it at this time, with a poor crop last
year, high prices for bacon all through the season,
and their pockets constantly drawn upon to re
lieve the soldier and his family. Not only will
planters find it a hardship to pay their taxes, but
many others, aud among them money-lenders,
many of whom have their whole property iu
promissory notes, and are unable to collect a
dollar.
The Government and the Congress ought to
know, and to consider well and appreciate fully
the wishes and the condition and the capabilities
and the needs of the people, and set accordingly,
as circumstances require. The Cotton Loan was
undertaken with the idea, the hope and the ex
pectation that the blockado would be raided this
fall or winter. In that etent a market would
have offered, Cotton could have been sold, taxes
paid and the profits of the year invested in Con
federate Bonds instead of land aud negroes. But
the blockade still continues, and there is no cer
tainty, perhaqrs very little probability, that it will
be raised in twelve months, or twice twelve. Os
course then it becomes not only s matter of policy
but of necessity to alter our financial scheme to
suit the altered circumstances of the case, and the
Congress should devote its attention to this mat
ter immediately upon re assembling. If eotton
can’t he exported it can’t be sold to any conside
rable amount, and only at ruinously low prices—
consequently the scheme of the Cotton Loan,
which was a good one on the supposition that
eotton could go forward, must be abandoned; and
it will not do to delay too long, unless the Gov.
erument has more information about the matter
than the people, and more than we tlTnk it has.
Gov’t should buy all the cotton not now loaned,
and unless it can give speculators a very reatona
ble assurance that cotton shall go forward soon,
so that they may feel safe in buying that which is
subscribed, it should abandon the loan and bay
the whole crop outright.
We publish this morning an important letter
from Western Virginia, written by a Captain of a
company belonging to ono of our Georgia Regi
ments. It will attract attention, and deserves to,
as the matters to which it relates are of deep,
painful and continual interest to all the people,
almost every one of whom has some relative en
gaged in the war. The writer is not pisrtonally
known to us, but known by common report as
one of the most talented, worthy and rising young
men in Middle Georgia. Wo are very sure lie
would not make a statement that was not true, or,
at leagt, not believed by him to be true.
That our army has suffered awfully from
the want of proper Hospital arrangements, Hos
tal stores, and Medical attendance, caunot
be denied. To look after these things, and
attend to them strictly, promptly, liberally,
was the duty of the Government. But it
has been found absolutely necessary that pri
vate means and individual effort should come to
the aid of Government, to prevent, or to mitigate
as far as possible, the enormous suffering of our
sick soldiers. The call upon the people for aid to
the sick has been met in Georgia with alacrity,
zeal and great liberality. But still, according to
our correspondent, with all that has been done,
there in great and deserved complaint. Where
the fault is, or for what reason the difficulty ex
ists, and the suffering continues, we cannot say.
“Rome was not built in a day/’ neither cun am
ple and thorough hospital arrangements be made
for all Georgia’s sick in Virginia in a few weeks.
The Central Board in this city has worked ardu
ously in the good cause, aud we doubt not the
managers in Richmond have done what they
could. The Central Board has received large
contributions and forwarded them as rapidly as
possible. Still, perhaps they have not received
nearly enough to answer all the demands of the
Georgia soldiers in Virginia, perhaps supplies
could not be trar sported as rapidly as desirable,
and perhaps more attention has been given at
Richmond to the soldiers of the East, to the
neglect of those in the West. We do not say
that this latter is true, for we hope it is not. But
the fact exists that two or more Regiments of
Georgians are in Western Virginia, that they
have suffered greatly from sickness, continue to
suffer and to die, and that their claims are great
and pressing, for relief. If no general plan can
be made available, then their own immediate
friends, relatives, neighbors and counties must
aid them. We commend their condition to the
sympathies and active exertion of the Govern
ment, the Hospital Association, and tLe people.

Departure of the Baker Volunteers.— The
Baker Volunteers, Capt. Rndler, left this city for
Richmond last night. The company is composed
of good fighting material, and with a gallant
Captain to lead them on, the boys wili make their
mark. Success to them.
The Washington Artillery Home Guard fired a
parting salute for tbe^olunteers.
Parade of the Militia.— We acknowlekgc the
compliment of a salute from Capt. Picquet’s com
pany of the Seeond Ward, who had their semi
monthly drill-yesterday afternoon. They made a
very creditable appearance.
The Third Ward Militia, Capt. Parker, we un
derstand, were out in considerable force on Tues
day. We did not have the pleasure of seeing
them.
The P. G. Zouaves, Capt. Bottom, turn out at 8
o'clock this afternoon.
Fine Drawings. —Mr. E. W. Brown, the well
known architect of this city, is now executing
come admirable drawings of military equipments
and implements for the Confederate States Gov
ernment. Stepping into Mr. B.'s office over
Henet’s store, yesterday, we were permitted to
inspect some of these engravings. They seem to
us to be the perfection of delicate drawing—each
line and figure, minute as they are, bearing the
closest inspection of a magnifying glass. In one
Plate, the Fuze Auger, Extractor, and Gunner’s
Callipers, would at once strike the eye ot a con
noisseur as exceedingly well drawn. We are glad
that the Government has entrusted this work to
such a competent draughtsman as Mr. Brown.
The appointment of Generals in the Confede
rate army are full, having reached the limitation
of five general officers, provided by existing B.ws
of the Confederate States. The distinction be
tween the Provisional and Confederate, or regu
lar organization* is, that the former expires with
the termination of the war.
Fine Corn. —We have some fine specimens of
com. large, full white grain on a red cob, grown
on the plantation of Mrs. Mart Daksey, in Co
lumbia county, such as has been grown on the
same plantation, without change of seed, for more
thaff twenty years past. One of the years is mil
13 inches long—the longest ear of corn we ever
saw—and two of them weigh each 24 ounces.

Wmter U cabling on, the time* aro getting tight,
ail sorts of supplies are being rapidly exfiiausted,
aud things generally are looking decidedly blue.
Our markets are nearly hare of caudles, coffee,
starch, soap, oil, bacon, refined sugars, salt, hay,
iron, shoes, clothing and other necessary supjdies,
aud what remains of these is generally lteld at
very high pries. It does not appear that these
are factitious prices either, or caused by specula
tion, but prices arc high because, in fact the de
mand is largely in excess of the. supply. We
have plenty of eorn and.flour, rice and tobacco
and cotton, hut very little of any thing else. Ba
con, a prime necessity, is exhausted in New Or
leans, except hams, and exceedingly small stocks
are held in Nashville, Memphis, Ohattauooga,
Atlanta, Augusta, Savannah and Charleston.
Can’t wo really feed ourselves, after all our j
boasting? Can’t wh produce the other necessa
ries abovo enumerated? We believe that we can,
and that we ought to have done so long ago ; tut
the foolishness aud tho. notions of out peopl , and
our system of policy, buying where wc could buy
cheapest—in money at the time— and selling where
we could sell dearest, have made us a dependent
people. It will readily occur lhat we cauuot live
within ourselves—with the conduct which has
characterized our life in the past—all at once. It
will require time to enable us to live at home.—
Time is necessary to grow onr grain, aud then
more time to convert graiu into meat. But we
have this year produced an abundance of graiu—
surely it must he enough to furnish both bread
and meat, and to feed our domestic animals not
destined for slaughter—and we ought speedily
to get about the work of conversion. We
have been producers of raw material long en
ough—“hewers of wood and drawers of water,"
long enough. Wo have an alarmingly short sup
ply of liacou and lard, notwithstanding onr abun
dance of grain and of animals to eat it, because
we have bought heretofore from the Northwest,
and as Lincoln has blockaded us pretty effectual
ly iu that direction, we must do the best we can
till uew pork couies in. Mess Pork is selling in
New Orlearns at forty to forty-five dollars a bar
rel—but let us hope that from our own resources,
' and having Tennessee aud hall of Kentucky to
j draw from, we may by January get pork in the
cotton belt at ten or twelve cents a pound. There
; are portions of our cotton country where hogs
esnnot readily be raised, and others where bacon
caunot be easily cured. Os course cotton plan
ters in such districts must buy their meal. But
. how can they buy unless they can sell?
It is plain now that unless matters change soon
there must be increased suffering among our
people. This must be mitigated as best it may.
We must help ourseives, help one another, aud
our Government must come to the relief of the
people. One great necessity now is that the
holders of stocks of goods absolutely needed by
the people should act m concert, and furnish them
at fair prices. One mail can do nothing—one
city can do nothing.. There must he agreement
and concert at such a time. Merchants have been
loudly abused for asking extortionate prices for
goods, and they ar e not blameless. Still their real
position, we believe, has not been clearly under
stood and comprehended by the people. Many of
them have contributed largely in various ways to
the soldiers, may have undertaken great risks
and been at far more than usual expense to keep
up their stocks of goods, and with heavy taxes to
pay, and the prospect of idleness and no business
in the near future, by reason of exhaustion of
stocks, they are certainly entitled to a very fair
amount of set of against the high prices they
charge. We ought to be just to them, and they
ought to be considerate of the necessities of the
people in these extraordinary times.
But the Government must conic to the aid o
the people. It has undertaken to aid them in
beating aud driving hack the enemy, by organiz
ing the people into soldiery, and arming, clothing
and feeding them with their own money. It has
not succeeded yet, but is proceeding to do so
proceeding as rapidly aud as vigorously, we doubt
not, as its means will admit, but not as rapidly
and as vigorously as the popular impatience de
mands. The people may be very wrong and very
foolish—of that we do not now speak, wc only
state the fact that the people and the people’s ne
cessities cry aloud for celerity, vigor and effective
ness. The war drags its slow length along, the
enemy is within our border, is landing on our
coast and threatening us everywhere with the
ravages (if war, onr supplies are running low, win
ter coming on,onr ports are blockaded, certainly in
a manner effectual enough to make u. feel the
want of many things, and still the graei wheel that
turns every other iu this Coufedercy is idle, mo
tionless, struck lifeless.
Whether it be true or not, as we have fondly
considered, that cotton is the great Archimedean
lever lhat moves the world, certainly there can
be no doubt that it is the lever which puts evory
thing in motion here, and gives life and energy
and activity to every department of our business.
.We shall soon have three million hales of this
precious staple on which our life depends, safely
gathered and stored, and yet perfectly useless to
its producers aud to the whole business of the
country, because it can not find a market. It
seeks a foreign market and is shut off by the
blockade. Its export is not prohibited by law,
but by the public sentiment. No considerable
sales of cotton can be made at home, and those at
low prices, nor would tho market be any better,
we believe, by surreptitious export, and by run
ning tho blockade with a cargo or two. Neither
would the country be materially benefitled by
such a trade, even if we got woollens and shoes
and guns and ammunition in exchange. If we
can get these at all from übroud, we can get them
in exchange for rice, lumber and naval stores,
which form no part of our power as cotton aud
tobacco do. But the export of them and the im
portation of goods in exchunge for them would
just as clearly show the blockade technically uud
legally ineffective, as the export of cotton for
gold or goods. In fact more so —for Lincoln and
Europe might act in concert lor ihe exportation
of cottoD, and Lincoln might readily wink at, if
he did not actually connive at, the cotton export,
iu order to prevent European powers from de
claring his blockade ineffectual, as they would
have no reason to make such declaration au
thoritatively, so long as they could get what they
wanted without.
It is the duty then of our Government to re
leive the people, by furnishing a liomf market for
the cotton—by buying it, and paying for it iu
Treasury notes, and holding it as a basis of credit
and of power, to be used as it sees fit. By this
means alone, so far as we can now see, will the
people be enabled to pay their debts and their
taxes, and buy what they are compelled to have.
By this means alone can business go on, can em
ployment he furnished the workers, can want be
.averted from the poor, and many hardships be
avoided by all classes.
Corn-Field Peas.
During the bright, clear, dry October weather,
before the cattle and hogs go into the fields, if the
cotton picking be not too pressing, is the time to
gather field-peas. A few farmers will not plant
the pea, under the impression that peas kill hogs
and cattle. So they will, and so will clover, green
corn or dry corn, or oats, or almost anything else,
if half-starved stock be turned upon them to eat
at their will ; but more stock dies for want of
peas than by eating them. But we are not now to
discuss the value of peas as food for stock, but for
human beings. The farmers and planters usually
gather only a very small portion of the pea crop,
because peas are rather difficult to gather, and the
slock can gather for themselves without cost or
waste. Enough only for seed, aryl a few for the
negroes, constitute the bulk of the gathering.
But we would urge upon our farmers now to
gather all the peas they possibly can, for peas,
rice, potatoes and dry fruit will be largely needed
by the army. After the peas are threshed aod
well sacked they can be kept, In a dry place,
equally as well as rice, and we doubt if any thing
can be given the soldiers this winter, except meat
and corn bread, whfch will be at the same time
more palatable, more healthfal, or impart more
strength and vigor, than corn-field peas. The
hardy lumbermen of the North go into ihe for
ests for the winter with a supply mainly of that
favorite Northern dish, pork and beans. Our
peas are of the same character as their beans, and
while they do not yield so much heat as other
food, they furnish abundantly that material which
builds up muscle, aud sustains the waste of brain
and nerve. Teas are, in fact, the food,— after corn
bread and meat—for our soldiers this winter.
Not only do they keep well, but they are easily
cooked by the most ignorant and inexpert. By
all means, then, let our farmers .and planters
gather and thrash a large supply, not only for
their negroes, but for our army in the field.
Southern School Books. —Our people are evi
dently waking up to the importance, the neces
sity, of having text-books which are emanations
ofSouthern minds. We have no doubt in time
we shall have School Books fully suited to our
wants, and witness the gradual but complete
eradication of Northern-made books from our in
stitutions of learning, leaving us a sound, healthy
School Literature as the result of self-reliance.
We are indebted to the Publishers at Nashville
for copies of the following u-w Southern School
Books :
1. The Confederate Primer.
2. The First Confederate Speller.
3. The Second Confederate Speller.
These books are gotten up “by an Association
of Southern Teachers,” and from the hasty peru
sal we have given them, we think they will
answer public requirement and expectation. The
arrangement and style seem to be judicious, and
we have no doubt they wili meet the approval of
the friends of education. Success to all such
honorable enterprises.
Manufacture of Oil-Cloth.— Mr. W. H. Wil
son, of Washington, Ga., showed us this morning
specimens of oil-cloth w hich be and Mr. Golucke
are manufacturing at Washington, W’ilkes coun
ty. The articles are very substantial, and just
what are now needed by our soldiers in Virginia,
being thoroughly water-proof. Messrs. Golucke
and Wilson not only manufacture this cloth for
sale by the piece, Cut they a r e also manufactur
ing complete soldiers’ outfits —over coats, cape,
leggings and blanket liniDg, by the aid of which
soldiers can keep perfectly diy. The material is
far superior to enameled cloth and much cheap
er—it does not harden nor crack.
John L. Buford, formerly mailing clerk in this

'l'lia A*pe«;t ar tt»« tX’MVf
Tua impression vain* ground that, \i'u are ou
the eve of grave events, and that verv noon great,
important, perhaps decisive military movemeuts
will occur, Our cause ha« met heretofore almost
uniform success, and recently our arms are de
cidedly victorious. The capture of Lexington is
perhaps as important an event as has occurred
since the war began. Whether Price designs
simply to hold it now against the heavy forces
with which Fremont threatens him, or to move
his columns Eastward on Booneville and Jeffer
son City is matter of speculation. Perhaps it is
prudent simply to hold Lexington at present, as
it is doubtful whether McCulloch cau come to
Prior’s aid iu time, aud with sufficient force.
Fremont must have n large force at St. Louis
but still he may not have been able to take up
; the Hue of march with more than 30,000 or 40 000
| men, as a large number must be left at St. Louis,
j The Pathfinder finds himself at last in a ciiti
cal position, and his fate hangs on a deader
thread, lie is a candidate for the success .on, and
his military success—not forgetting contracts,
jobs, Ac.—is intimately mixed up with his aspira
tions for the future, whether he seeks the purple
by the sword or by the ballot. Re has all the
Blairs, old Frauk, the cadaverous, griping Quilp
of our earliest political recollection, young Frank,
who feels that Fremont has usurped his peculiar
bailiwick, Bt. Louis, aud Montgomery, the mean
est of the lot, at his heels. The reckless way in
which Fremont has spent the treasure, is the
pretext on which their opposition rests. The
President, perhaps with a feeling of rivalry, and
with a sort of dread to take the abolition leap
just now, is a little cool towards the General of
the West. Aud uow, since Mulligan has made a
nine days’ fight, and been defeated, and his whole
army, horses, guns, arms, Ac., captured, the war
riors ot the Eastern Printing houses are raising a
storm of popular indignation against Fremont
for not seuding reinforcements to Lexington, al
though reinforcements were sent, but Price drove
them back. At the same time the great North
west is clamorous that the East demauds Western
troops for the Capitol, while Missouri needs all
that can he seut. So Fremont must fight, and
with desperation.
If Price can hold his own till McCulloch joins
him, they may finish the short aud brilliant career
of Fremont before the winter fairly sets in, and
rout the Lincoln forces from all Missouri. And
meantime, great hopes are centered on Kentucky,
aud ou Sidney Johnston, Buckner and Hardee,
who are slowly moving along the western border,
and throttling toryism aud federalism in the in
terior. There, must be bloody w«rk in Kentucky
ere long. And at last we are achieving success in
Western Virginia, driviug back the invaders, aud
carrying light and liberty to the fastnesses of the
benighted mountaineers. Lee and Floyd, Lo
ring and Jackson, we hope aud believe, with the
Georgia, Arkansas, Tennessee and Virginia sol
diers, are pressing on the finally retreating hosts
of Rosencrantz, Cox and Reynolds, driving them
westward to the Ohio.
Jußi now there is an anxious suspeuce, a queru
lous impatience, probably a little foreboding, as
the eyes of the nation turn towards the Potomac
and Washington. Perhaps all will be made plaiu
and bright before us within a week. Two mouths
ago we advanced the opinion, and it is not changed,
that, while we should neglect no precaution at
home, fail in uo preparation, relax no energies,
yet the best defence of Georgia and of our whole
coast was to carry tire and sword upon Washing
ton and beyond the border, to institute actual war
around the peaceful homos of the enemy, to give
him and his a taste of what War in reality was,
and to do this as speedily and vigorously as could
be done. Others, wiser doubtless thau we, thought
ihe policy was wrong, admitting eveu our ability ,
( which was doubted,) because it would stir up the
war passion among the Northern people. We en-
tertained no such opinion, because we believed
the North was wholly sensational, that it had
neither military aptitude nor wai passion, except
as a seusation, and that two similar sensations could
uot be gotten up within twelve months.
From the doubts of the Government, as to the
forward policy, or from the inability to furnish
every thing necessary for an invading army soon
er, or from some cause, our Potomac forces have
not advanced since the battle of Manassas till re
cently. But it seems that the w r ork is to begin in
earnest. Gen. Johnston’s army has beeu moved
within sight of Washington, and after occupying
this advanced position for many days without be
ing able to draw McClellan out, has fallen back
again in the centre, though the wings still closely
press the Potomac, and the Confederate batteries
have closed the navigation of that River below
Washington. The President has finally gone iu
person to the near neighborhood of the army, and,
with every preparation made, the army awaits
the onset. The falling back is designed, we
presume to draw the Lincoluites from their en
trenchments, with the expectation that if they
can be fought and beaten ten miles from Wash
ington, their momentum, when once in the full
tide of retreat, will carry them across the River.
Perhaps our Generals may fail it* drawing the
enemy on, but it would seem that he can not long
maintain his position of defence, without losing
caste with his people and with the nations. Claim
ing to be a great nation, with limitless military
resources of all kindß, having three times the
fighting population that the Confederates have,
and enguged m putting down a wicked and cause
less rebellion , with one half or more of the rebel**
(as they assert to themselves aud to the world,)
in opposition to the rebel cause, the United States
Government* nuitJU/ht or sink in the world’s esti
mation. If McClellan’s army do advance and
give us battle, we rest iu tho confident assurance,
which has no shadow of misgiving, that we shall
beat them, drive them out of the capital aud be
yond the Susquehannab and the Ohio, and thus
we hoj>e, actually end the war by the middle of
November.
Paddling his own Gance. —One of our citizens
while down the river yesterday, observed a man
descending the stream in a bateau. The naviga
tor appeared so unskillful—so little used to hand
ling a paddle, Ac., that our friend hailed him and
asked him where he was bound. He stated that
he was going to Savannah, and by that convey
ance! Knowing the danger to be incurred by
such a course, he was kindly advised to come
ashore, and ourfriend promised to see himsafely to
his destination by land, even at his own expense.
He was finally induced to land, and his effects
—a heavy trunk and a valise—were taken out of
the boat. To questions put to him, be said bo
was direct from New York, came through by way
of Kentucky without a passport—was 4 out of mon
ey—had relations in Savannah (naming several
well known citizens there» and was bound for
that city, having purchased the boat at this point.
At this juncture, officer King rads up, and Bay
ing he wished the stranger to accompany him,
took him into his custody and brought him to
town. An examination before Mayor May was
had, when the traveler gave his name as Mr.—
Norris. An inspection of his baggage reveaied
nothing treasonable ; and his pecuniary necessi
ties beingmade known,thePolicegenerously made
up a purae for him, and the Mayor gave him a
through ticket to Savannah. He was to leave for
that place last night.
Mr. N ouKis is a young man of intelligence, but
he will probably be more careful in future about
navigating unknown rivers, “paddling his own
canoe,” or traveling in war times without a pass
port. We wish him good luck the balance of his
adventurous journey.
A Good Joss on Fremont. —A gentleman who
had returned to Arkansas from a visit to St. Louis
communicates to an Arkansas paper a good joke
on General Fremont, who, it seems, got up,
mounted and equipped a body of troops as a
special body guard ; their horses were superior,
and their arms and appointments of the finest dc
scription. He was proud of it. It was to be bia
pet. Hut one day this fine body went out to per
form sundry evolutions at about two miles from
the city, and they never came back. They were
last heard of in General Hardee's camp, where
they accidentally found their way. If an- one
wants to see Fremont mad, it is only necessary to
mention body guard in his presence.
Distinguished Akbital.— I The Richmond Kh
tjuirtr says Among the arrivals at the Exchange
last night, was Sir James Ferguson, a member of
the British Parliament, who brought with him
important ofiicial communications—so at least it
was announced—from our Commissioners in Eu
rope, to President Davis, F.x-PrtsideDt John Ty
ler, Gen. Wise, aud others. The arrival ot this
distinguished nobleman is regarded as full oi
significance, and creates quite a stir in ofiicial and
outside circles. His lordship and suite reached
here vta Memphis.
A Sweet Set.— The New York Tribune, of th«
16th, gives a list of speakers announced to hold
forth at a meeting at Cooper Institute, »n the
evening of the 20th. We give the names, as fol
lows i Daniel S. DickinsoD, Horace Greeley, Lu
cius Robinson, Washington Hunt, Senator (?)
Andrew Johnson, Gov. Curtin, Gov. Olden, Job.
Holt, Leslie Combs, Thomas Francis Meagher,
Senator Harris, Lyman Tremaine, Frederick A.
Conkling, Robert J. Walker and Geo. D. Pren
tice, all arrayed to denounce and put down the
“rebels.”
We are indebted to Mr. Sins, of this city, lor
Northern papers. Mr. S. left Augusta sonm two
or three weeks since to go North and bring back
some little boys to their parents. He tells us that
he found no difficulty in going or returning. No
body interfered with him North, nor asked him
questions. He went through Indiana, Ohio, New
York and New England to Canada, and returned
through-New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiaua
and Kentucky. He discovered little display of
military resources, except in Indiana. Travelled
with twe unarmed Regimenu from the Elmira
camp to New York city, but there was no enthu
siasm—on the contrary, sullen silence, no laugh
ing, talking, shoutiDg or singmg, which was very
noticeable in comparison with the feelings of our
troops. Recruiting is at an absolute stand-still,
and very few are volunteering. Drafting was
commenced in Connecticut, but abandoned on the
proclamation of the Governor, who called upon
the people to show their patriotism by volunteer
ing. But Mr. Sims thinks not another Regiment
will ever leave Connecticut, unless drafted. There
were large numbers of so-called soldiers in Now
York city. The Southern feeling in Kentucky
was aroused and defiant, and growing more de
termined aud out-spoken every hour.
Seizure of Pork. —The governor of enft
has issued an order to seize all the pork held n
New Orleans by speculators. They asked the enor
mous price of fifty dollars per barrel.
