SnAKPgUOOTIMa AT PsTBBshcBU—A Cahinb
Kirinsi—A correspondent .of the Mobile He
gisier claims that in the sbarpshOoting at Pe
tettbarg our soldiers have tbe advantage. We
use the English Enfield ; the Yankees the U.
States Springfield rifle, which certainly is in
comparison, an inferior gun. The adrantsge
of position enables us to throw mortar shells
with certainty Into the works of the enemy,
and they rnuit suffer severely from them.
Since th« lamented death of Gen Saunders,
Col King, of the 40th Alabama, has been in
command of that brigade. It is on the lines
not far from the battery the Yankees blew
upon the SOtb July. Between this brigade
and tbs Yankees there is a curious. ‘Express’
which is kept constantly running. A Urge
Newfoundland dog, belonging to the Yankees,
hag trained to pass from one side to tb-t
other, and to carry such articles as are for
trade.- The Yankees send him home with
coffee, handkerchiefs, paper, envelopes, and
late Northern papers, and the Confederates
return tobacco f exchange for these articles
The dog seems to be equally reli tbie as the
Southern Express C'-mpany, and by bis clev
erness has furnished many a poor fellow with
a much needed cup of coffee.
The Charleston Courier, in an article on
''The Ministry of Angela," reminds tbo Abo*
litionists of the fact that tbe first interces
sion of angels in human affairs was to rebtika
a fugitive slave and comraaud her to return to
her mistress. The Courier should remember
that this truth, aa well as the other Bible and«
Tenses of slavery, have, hava never b*d any
weight with tno higher law warty of tbe
North; and that tbe "angel of the Lord” has
never visital tbs abolitionists as yet, If we
may judge from their conduct Fhould if do
to, it would find them less easy of rebr.ko
than Hager was. .Again, th« abolitionists
would have "IBs angel of the Lord" say to
linger, ‘ Flee from.the face of thy mlatreas,
Marin,” instead of return "and submit thy
self under her band!."—r.LyrnpA £ Coitftd.

FEDERAL OCTRAGEN IN VIRGINIA.
A lady, well known.ln Colombia, residing
in the neck of land lying betweaa the Rap
pahannock and Potomac rivers, baa written a
highly interesting letter to on. of her friends
in this city, which chiefly describes the ope
rations of the Yankee raidors during the
month of dune in that section. We make the
following extracts :
Ob 1 my dear friend, I felt sure, sometimes
during the first awful fire days of the last
wo« k, I should go mad. Surely the reign of
tenor could have been nothing to them; and
now that they are over, oh I you cannot, can
not tell w hat a feeling of great thankfulness
we have to know that, when so many have
have suffered, we hare still not only our lives
nntl homes, but oar honor. Can you imagine
the terrible calmness of despair that could
make you sit down and wait to see if, indeed,
that, too, was to he taki n from you. I thought
it was hard to live.when the boys fell ; but
to expet to live on through that, when I knew
it was for os, too, that Cbarfey died, made it
seem as though bis death ciune afresh to ns
in our misery. I suppose you have seen
through the papers our neck df land had
been raided by negro and white troops, and
that they had destroyed almost everything
before them, insul'ing ladies in the basest man
tier, shooting at old men, cutting up furni
ture, burning hooks and farming utensils,
carrying off clothing-of every kind, cattle,
horses, everything before them. The very
wealthiest of our people are living in perfect
ly empty houses, without knowiog from one
day to another, where the next meal is to
come frftm, and utterly without clothing ex
cept the one change on their backs. Not a
servant—literally nothing.
In many places the base attempts of the ne
gro troops upoo the ladies, proved but too
successful, while of;ener the poor wretched
women, wLo seemed imbued with more than
natural strength, broke from them, and spent
days and nights in the woods ; in several in
stances in their night clothes. Don’t think
lam exaggerating things. I could mention
names even, which I am sure you have often
beard. Persons of the very best families havo
suflVred everything the most fiendish bate
could devise ; although the white troops ab
stained from taking part in the worst ac'i,
they never attemped to curb the blacks—
rather encouraging them “tp drag down the
spirit of these proud Southern women," as
they called it. Four negro men attempted
such a foul outrage on a lady, that she tried
to throw herself out o! the window, prefer
ring death to dishonor ; but just as she tbreyr
up the window, while her negro women were
endeavoring *o hold the wretches off, she
heard her little children crying; she says, it
flashed over her "tipt it was still a duty to try
and live for them: Just then oneof the crea
tures caught hold of her, but she broke away
and ran for the stairs ; one of them, guarding
the stairs, leveled his musket and threatened
to fire if she cam* down ; but in her agony
she sprang over the banisters and fled for life ;
on the way to the woods, she caught her two
Laldes up and ran on. When she re cbed
her sister s house, about two miles distant,
she fainted at the door; and though, only
about twenty-five or sit years of age, her
hair was blanched as white as cotton ; in the
struggle, before she got awav, she was bruised
black by strokes from musket barrels.
In another instance, not two miles from us,
a young girl almost just confined, was beset
bv six of the villains; let your imagination
picture the worst it can, and a lingering death
for six days after tell, when God freed her
from her misery and shame, and you have
the story which I blush to write. Jfor are
these solitary-instances * . *
One thing I forgot to tell you in reference
to the lady whose miraculous escape I have
mentioned. Col Draper , of the Fifth Regu
lars, searched her bouse in a very gentleman
ly manner, bowed politely at the door, and
promised her on his honor she should not be
molested by any one else,since he had search
ed her bouse and was perfectly satisfied.
She then beard him when he said, waiving
his hand to the negroes, "Now you can go in,"
and rode off. His command when be disban
ded bis troops at Warsaw, was to "go. loose
and do as you choose."
A Home for the Homeless.— We learn that
General Ira U. Foster, in beb'tll of tbe Slate of
Georgia, and Mayor Collins. of this city, have
gone on tbe Centra' railroad in quest ot a suit
able locution for tbe destitute exiles of At
lanta. We further learn that they purpose
purchasing a tract of lan I on which to erect
suitable tenements for those who have been
rendered homelea* by the casualties ot wKr.—
Sufficient ground will be purchased to allot to
each house en nigh for gbrden and for other
purposes. This is a commendable enterprise.
It evinjea the true sp rit on the part ot Georgia
in providing comfortable quarters for such of
her citir.ens as have been driven from their
homes, and who l\ave not (he meatu of pro
viding f.Jr themselves.
We trust no sense of false delicacy will d-ter
these who are already in need from accepting
the benefits of tbis munificent effer on tbe part
of tbelr States. For such of those who may
desire to become beneficiaries of tbis Institu
tion, we are authorized to state that no im
proper characters will be admitted-that the
strictest order and morality will be observed,
snd lhat every oegeasiry municipal measure to
this end will be rigidly enforced. A home
will thus be finished the needy, and every
insane necessary to their happiness freely given
them.
The soldier In the service, whose wife and
children have been driven from their bom-s,
may be assured that they will be cared lor
through this means. Imolemeors of industry,
such as cotton cards, A<\, will be lurniahtd
them, so that all who may feel disposed will
find the means in their possession of earnlug a*
livelihood.
All honor and praise to the State for this be
nevolent move ; and yet, under tbe circum
stances, the people should feel that it Is noth
ing more than their due, and accept it at tpe
hands of tbe State as a temporary home, until
they are privileged to return to their own.—

GEN. HARDEE TO TAKE COM
MAND AT CHARLESTON*.
SPIRITS OF THE ARMY.'
Richmond, Sept. 30.—An official dispatch
to-night says an attempt was made this after
noon to re.-take battery Harrison, which,
though partially *ucce*sful, failed. Attillery
firing preceding assault distinctly audible in
all parts of the city. •
Ktnby’s cavalry, who were on the nine mile
road last night, w*-nt bark «arly this morning.
An attempt was made to take Battery Gilmer
yesterday. The Yankees put negro troops in
front. A large number of them were killed.
Gairri:«*, Sept. 30—General Hardee, at his
own request, has been relieved of the com
of bis 6 >rps in the Army of Tenng-see. He
is to take command of the Department of
Charleston. He left here this morning, ac
companied by his staff, for bis new .field of
operations.
After spending several days in the army,
President Davis went to Montgomery. He is
expected to reach to-morrow morning
on bis return.-
Our army is in the finest spirits possible,
and the country may expeot good news from
it before the lapse of many days.
The impression that Gen.* Forrest has su
perceded Wheeler is ft mistake. Forrest.is
operating on his own hook.
Akfbctino Incident —An Atlanta corres
pondent say*: "We have learned of a very
touching and affectiag incident which occur
red In’ this army on the battle field of the
23d of July, and which is worthy of being
engraved in letters of gold as commemorating
the magn inimity and true Christian spirit of
the twu noble heroes concerned . Toe prepa
rations for battle ware being made. A corps
commaniter rode up to one of bis division
fgenern]*, and findinjr some delay, and confu
sion, reprimanded hmt with some severity.
The tone and manner was calculated to
wuond, and the two soon parted with feel
ing* of evident bitterness towards each other.
The corp'j commander felt, after the excite
tnent of the moment was over, that be had
probably spoken too harshjy to a brother
officer, and as they were both about eutering
the danger of the battlefield, he felt it to be a
duty he not only owed himself, but a former
friend, to Fender an apology. He therefore
dispatched a staff officer after the battle had
opened, through a storm of fire, to communi
cate with him, and express bis regrets, and
ask forgiveness. The division commander
replied that ho had been deeply wounded by
the language of his superior officer, bnt that
the apology was satisfactory, an* he freely
forgave. In a few roloutes after, • fatal
bullet pierced the division commander, and
his soul winged its flight to another world.
How beantiful and touebing was this evi
dence of mutual forgiveness, enacted by two
distinguished soldiers, in the day of battle,
and in tho hour of danger and death.
The Climax of Chukltt.—The expulsion of
the people of Atlanta trorn their homes -twen
ty thousand men, women and children—is one
of the even a which mark the extreme atrocity
of tbis war. It is said that each a thing has not
been done for two hundred years by my na
tion. It is a recurrence to tbe barbarism ol
the earlier ages, altogether inconsistent with
the civil zition which the Yank-es profess but
dn not praotice. Tbe suffering am >ng the
homeless wanderers, robbed, too, as doubtless
3o*t of them have been, of their furniture,
othing and money, must be intense. Winter
is approaching, and no home, no clotliiog, no
food, except such as they may receive from the
charily of their fellow creatures who may not
have been *d cruellv outraged as themselves.
And this man Sherman, the perpetrator of this
mous'.rouH crime agaiust humanity, belong*, as
stated by a cotemporary, "to that nest of viper#
which tbe South bad been unconsciously nour*
iebing in its boSotn for eight years betore the
commencement of tbis war. Wbeu it broke
out be w-s President* ol a coll ge in Louis

undying devotion to tbe South, to its institu
tions, and to its people. So strong did he pre-.
tend that this f.eling was in him, that be de
clared, when the war bec-ms inevitable, hi*
determination never to draw bis sword sgain*t
the South. H<* was treated in Louisiana with
the unbounded kindness which that hospitable
and bigb-apirited people always extended to
stratig-r*. as long as they had tbe power.”—

Gk.veiul Svoxeman.— We learn that tbis Fed
eral General baa been exchanged, and has
pussrd up tbe Macon and Western railroad, to
