I. The city of Atlanta bring exclusively re*
quired for warlike purposes, will at once bo
vacated by ell except the armies of tho United
States-and'such civilian employees as may bo
retuhied by the proper departments of‘Gov

II The Chief Quartermaster, Col. Easton
will at once take pos?es«ion of buildings of
all kinds and of all etap e articles, sucL as

111. The Chief Engiueer will promptly re*
counoitre the city and suburlis. and indicate
the sites needed lor the permanent defense of
the place, together with any houses, or other
buildings that stand in his way, that they
may be set npnrt for destruction. Colonel
Easton will then, on consultation with the
proper officers of the Urdaance Quartern as
ter, Commissary, Medical and Rnilroul Do
pnrtment, set aside such buildings and lots of
ground ns will be needed for them, and have
them suitably marked and set apart; he will
then, in cousultation with Generals Tiictnas

CORRESPONDENCE.
LETTER IMlO.n COLUMBIB.
CoLCiinrs, ScpL 7,18G4.
In some respect* refugeeing has its pleas
ure*, and though few, on that account, as the
cooling draught to the parched tongue they
are the'more satisfying.' There are two fami
lies of us, with eight children in the crowd.
At first our meals were spread on the top of
a box, but wo now boast of .pine tables, and
chairs too. Each family has its own rooms,
but this line of -demnrkatiou binders not the
“feast of reason and the flow of soul,”
which gilds many of the otherwise sad hours
of our present life. Yesterday this deponent’s
side of the house were invited over to the
warm-hearted Kentuckian’s domains for din
ner. A rich treat It wa» to our hungry souls.
A large piece of roasted beef, a dish of fish—
bacon and greens—rice and sweet potatoes—
pickles and onions, with buttermilk and a
fine article of Aqua MirabUit to wash down
with—who would not for the time being love
all these fine thing* were presented .because
of being refugees you will appreciate the
benediction wo pronounce upon these good
people of Coluinous. May they never know
what it is to be driven from their homes.
About a yeur ago your correspondent was
endeavo'k'g to buy a house in Atlanta, but
was staggered at the enormous price deman-.
de l. Said a plain spoken .Baptist preacher
to me in the presence of the house owner,
who was also a Baptist pro«chcr, “Strangen
don’t you buy a bouse here, and you had
better move away from here instead of set
t'ing permanently.” “Why.?” I asked, with
curiosity. “Because I tell.you now, and I say
it reverently, I shall be forced to doubt many
things in tbe Bible if the house.renters and
house owners, and other extortioners, and
evil doers don’t bring the vengeance of Heaven
down upon Atlantn. As sure as you live
now, in my opinion, these things will bring
the Yahkoes into our city.” The prophecy
bus been fullfiled! And if time haa proven
itie correctness of the conclusion from tlio
pKmlsw, wbal till become of (,'dniuboj,
ilecoo, toil Augusta t p«li*]'s
your lest of an abiding place should be this.
" It was Lot who made a ft ast for the strangers
passing by his' door in Soilotn, and it was
L>t who -scaped with hU family from she
doomed City.
• I don’t, know -that many tears would be
shed if these w+cked persons were the only
ones to suffer by the occupying of ourciiies
by tho enemy. They, however, are sharp
enough to get away, though as sure as the
Bible is tru- the bitter cup of the wrath of
Heaven will be put to their some
time or other. There is nothing truer than
tho inspired declaration “with what measure
ye mete it shall bo measured to you again,”
and he who has enjoined “be tiot slow to en
tertain strangers” has sutely affix*d in his
own way a penalty for the violation.
I learn that the.people of Newnan, LaGrango
and West Point feel some anxiety about their
isolation and they hnvo just cause, for it. I
sincerely sympathize with them. I have heard
of soVne who are moving awny their stock
nnd negro nun. But still those I have met
appear very hopeful, and seem defiant yet. So
I may almost say about the people of Colum
bus. I wish I could impress into all your
readers tbe spirit I bare seen manifested by
•orae citizens of tbfs place, line remarked
that all history was false If Sherman or his
kuccessor did not have to surrender hi 9 entiro
Tirmy to tbe Confederates. That, be thought,
would bo tho winding up of the war. So
mot* it Le.
Ihere is no use denying fact that the
fall of Atlanta was a severe blow to us. But
to say-consequently all is gone, were to yield
to childish fears. It should convince us of
this fact—long ego demonstrated by the fa
tie of tbe bundle of sticks, to say nothing of
“the stern logic of events,” that “in union
there is strength,” and consequently any
word or any act which will not promote that
uniou and harmony should be restrained.
Tbe weather is hot during the day—the
nigh’s are cool. The streets are dusty even
to suffocation. Confuebb.
PKIULB AND ADVENTURES OF 011*1*
Aitr.
. [CONTIXUKD.]
I now reluktantlj praceed to that melon
kollj crisis which seemed to have a pn9*onal
relation to my family. By tbe timo that the
silty of Atlanta were somewhat purified of
its population, I concluded that discretion
were tbe better part of valor.and so
to transfer my interestin family to some con- 1
venient point on the Georgy road. We
tbe train ooe raornio without any definite
idee where we would lite. ‘‘Tickets sur”said
the conductor. “Nary ticket 1 said I. "How
far are too goin" said he. Puttin on an air
of sublime indifference, I remarked that “I
wasn’t very partikular—that he knew the
road and could suit himself.” He cut his
eye along the line of my numerous offsprings
and observed that I bad better skatter em,
•s provisions WASfkase. I paid bitn our fare
to Covinton and so gut lid of his imperti
nence..
Coviqton are perhaps like all other lovely
village* on- the line of long railroads. They
were considered finished when the road went
by And left the good people a passenger depot,
and tbe privilege of lookin at tbe train an 1
berin the eogine snort its big wbistle.at reg
ular dally intervals, Naiy notber house I*
ever built atter that. Nary shade treo plan*
ted—narv gully filled up. Some few years
agOj however, tbe authorities of this aspirin
little village aroused tbeir sleepin energies
and determined to put on titty airs in defu
ance of manifest destiny—akkordingly they
erected a hand /bit bridge some 20 f<£t long
across a little spring branch between tbe
town %nd the depot. When this magnificent*
strukture were finished no stone was planted
to mark tbe year of its.birth —uo free mason
ceremonies—no dedication—bat a huge sign
board as big as the bridge war stretched lik
an arch overhead, bearingrthe solemn in
sktiption “ Five dollart fine Jot riding filter
than a walk.” The sign*waa tremengiously
visible and tbe bridge moot be discovered
right under the stun. But alas 1 not even
this could save the lovely village froen the
Atlnnta blight. Such ns she wer, 9he is, an
honest hamlet, where virtue loves to dwell
and from whose peaceful pyecincts our pris
ons get no customers.
Here I found friend*—dear friends, somo of
whom had tasted tbe bitterness of a rutin in
..life and were fully prepared to appreciate our
situation. Confidin my intereatin family to
their care, I journeyed to Lawrencville in
search of transportation. There I found to
my dismay that every thing that moved on
wheels, and nil four footed bearsts bad been
stampeded to a distant wilderness. I ar
ranged i‘, however, that rollin stock Should
be proknred from tbe M ulberry hills and sent
lo Covinlon with all possible dispatch. Cun*'
fident of success I took myself to a retired
refuge which bad been ofTered u*, way upon
the banks of the Chattahoochee, thereto await
tbe arrival of my family.
Day after, day passed by, and night after
night was spekled with luc-lancbolly stars,
but no family arrived—rio rollin stock ap
peared comiu over tha distant hill. Humors
.were rampant—nggravatiti jumors of terrible
raids. Tortlieve my suspense I bekame an
infantry rkout aud started in pursuit of knowl
edge upder ninny difficulties. I had not trav
elled many miles before I found to a moral
that I were cut off and blockaded,
if not surrounded and gmbusended. The
everlastin yankee wrttfont on a raid—a dev
lish raid, an infernal raid. They were then
in Luwrenceville and bad come frqtn Covin
too, and akkordin to reliable information had
stolen utl tbe horses, burnt every dwelling,
hung 1 all the men, drowned all the children
and carried off tbe women alive. Frantik
and furious I rushed oo all ready to fight, one
agin a thousand, and fata aud destiny Ihruwed
in to boot, I ennnot tell to tbia dny how
the; beard ot mj cotnin, but certain it is
when I readied tbe village of Lawreoceville
(lie rally retired, 1 prepared to pursue 1
my journey, when I perceived a wanderin son
of Etbiopy comin down from the Covinton
food, ltecognizin him I inquired what ho
knew. “Dent yankees been to Covinton sur”
and what .elgS ? “Missus left eta and went
to do Sirkte, sur, and Tip went back atter Qc
baggage sur.” And what else—talk fast—
“aud doy got Tip’s mules sur.” Goon. “And
all do baggage sur,” Dont stop boy. “And
dey got Tip sur ; and dey made him dig his
grave sur ; nnd dey den went atter missus
and*de children sur ; and carried em nil off
sur.” “Stop hoy” said I—‘‘let xne eet dowu,
lam dizzy—bring me some water.” In a few
minutes I rallied sufficient to cross-examine
this blubberln darkey, and found that the only
fact ho knew was that rny family bad escaped
from Covinton, and went in the direction of
Social circle. All else was rumor and nigger
talk.
About this time a messenger from the wil
derness brought news that the rollin stock
hffd been sent in due time and nearly reached
the journey’s end, wb-n the news of the r .id
caused a sudden renktion of course and mo
tion. They hurried away by forced marches
under cover of night and sought safety in the
wilderness. Where, then, was my family,
and how did they travel 7 Tip was there,
and Tip was a host I knew, but Tip coudn't
make wagons nor mules, and there was Bone
in that neighborhood Hint 1 could bear of.
The baggago is gone I suppose said I—all
gone. Tbe big trunk and little trnnk, and
bonnet trunk and tbe boys trunk, and the
girls trunk and tbe general truuk—all gone.
A thousand garments more or less, for there
wus dresses, and (rocks and shawls and collars
and caps, and furrs, and flannels,, and skirts
with Loops and without, and shoes and stock
ings, and aprons, and gloves, and handker
chiefs, and breeches, and drawers, and coats,
and jackets, and cloaks, and bonnetts, nnd nil
the mysterious garments wkats worne out of
sight—all-gone—aud this was all that we
saved from the wreck of a happy home. Ah I
that Mr. Shnkspeare wore here to immortalize
tbo sorrow of oar-melaokoliy site. I d&n’j
mind trouble when It comes but once in a
wbilc. But twice, in a while or three times,
is a crushin my energies.
While brooden over these imaginary evils
a welcome vuico broke' its f.uuilliar sound
upon mine car. Lookin up, my delighted
vision perceived the immortal and- heroic
Tip. I knew he had good news, for he always
brings it.. He never wailed for interrogato
ries, but announced, "Mas William, nit safe
in Madison—everything safe—nary loss on
our aide—glorious victory.”
Header dear reader I I revived. It cannot
bo recorded bow good a m*o can feel away
In tbe recesses of bis heart. With a voice all
serene I asked: "Is my entiro family all safe,
Tip, my boy 7” ‘-Every one, *ur," said be.
"1 counted eiu when I got to Madison, and I
counted em agin when I lef em sur. All
safe sur—baby and all—and the big trunk,
and tbe little trunk, and tbe bonnet trunk,
and tbe boy;' trunk, and the girl* trunk, and
tbe genrul truuk.
The faithful Tip then Informed me how
they waited and waited for my return, and
bow the Yankees did come on a raid, and
cavorted about, and as bow the ladies
let down ail tbe valuables in the well except
the baby, and, hhd like to bid that in the
same subterranean hole, and how finally a
friend from Madispn came to the rescue, and
stole eru.all off by night; and how my friend
bad seat bim all away round by Athena and
Jsfforlon in search of a lost man by the name
of Arp. “That’* me’,” satd I." “I’m him,
myself. I will rest to-night, and grease my
blisters—to morrow we will take it a foot'to
tbe wilderness and proknre transportation
once more." On this journey everything
worked well, aud I reached tbe boosom of my
family on Sunday night. Then ail went
merry as a marriage bell until about bre.k*
fast hour next mornia, when it waa hurriedly
announced that tho Yankees was in town on
a raid. The unsatisfied übiquitous infernal
wretches ! Three tijnes. *•Thrice the Lrindle
eat hath meiced." '
Our friends lived in the suburbs, and we
thereby got a little time for action. In a few
minutes we limbered to the rear, and from a
retired eminence overlooked the enemy’s
operations. Mjr family had by this time be
come somewhat acclimated to tbeir pisenous
presser.ee, and so between the house and the
woods we established an Affrican telegraph
to commuuicatp tho enemy’* progress. But
the enemy made no demonstration towards
our eend of the town. A few days previous
some amateurs of the turf had got up the
New Hope races some ten miles from town,
to and fro their jockeys went at telegraph
speed, the full ten milca and back bein the
distance, «ud tbe deud of night the selekted
time. These Yaces were run w'th quiet, ami
with less confusion and dust than any of pre
vious rekord. The Yankees left us after a
short sojourn, nnd then we returned to our
homes, and the New Hope races broke up—
who woh the stake*, or what partikler nag
made reputation I have not been able to le irr.
After nos delightful recreation—a
week of unalloyed enjoyment in tho sweet
society of pleasant friends, we once more be
gan our journey to the banks of tbe Chatta
hoochee.
We bad anticipated much .comfort and satis
faction in getting eff the line of railroads an.l
travellipg overland to our. destination. Rail
ways don’t euit a runnagee like an old fash
ioned dirt road. They are so liable to* be
raid'd, t-nd invaded, and blockaded, ar and atn
bufknd'd, and enfilly<.de<l, ar.tl then the great
trouble is, they don’t fork enoueb. Ever since
this eyerlastiu wai, I have beeu wonderfully
parti il to aiork and dirt-road, for it giv>*B a
poor runnagee choice of direction every few
mile*. It’s so easy to stop or go on, or dodge
in the woods, aud change latitude end longi
fade. Aul then, low convenient it ih to slop
it tbe welfa find get water, end let the children
j a Idle iu the branch, and see tbe baby driv ,
aud bear the sweet accent* of its motberV

It was refre-hin to stop at the bumble heme*

about tbe big war and the artillery, aud hear

Mr. Editor, we have at lust f ;und an eend
to our trials and tribulations for a time nt
least. We run the gauntlet of Yankee raids
and rebel cavalry, loo'rlfl -ap-pa -ihe. J'jUff ««..
did Alibaba upon tho forty thieves, nyd
dreading the former ns the devil let loose for
a thousand years. Betwixt the one nnd the
other a p >or ruuagee lind as well be nmot g
the Turks and wild Arabs of the Affriknn
desert. ..How we escaped this combination of
evils I know not, except it be that the writ
of habeas corpus, restored to us by our Gov
ernor aud hia friends, operated like nn unseen
and mystic shield to protect us on tbe way.
We have now trie.d Mr. Sherman’s front
and his flanks, and found no peace. For the
future we shall rest in tho rear of his army
until dislodged by causes* unknown-and un
foreseen. We cannot run agin, for the reason
urged by the I’exian who, when be got into
trouble, took counsel of a lawyer R3 to what
he should Jo. His case was so bad that the
faithful attorney advised him to run anag
“The devil,” says he; “where shall I run to?
I’m in Texas now.”
Yours truly, Bui Arp.

adds:

Geiger’s Mills, a tonguo of land atilt higher

I do not see any reason for believing that the

is none. All the d.ffsrenie* that ex>st are on
