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 and Slocum, set apart such as may be necos. sary to the proper administration of the milt* taiy duties of the Department of the Cumber land and of the Cost of Atlanta; mid all buildings aud materials uot thus embraced, will be held subject to tbe use of the Govern* ment, ns may hereafter arise, according to the just rules of tho Quartermaster’s Depart, ment.

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.

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*.

While you are talking, the black-eyed children will peep at yoti through the crack of the fence; and the little cotton he. d* will climb up on lop and let the r mouths bang open till you are clean out oi s : ghf.
