St. James Sabbath School. —Having heard
of the interesting exercises of the Sabbath
School above mentioned, we went around last
Sabbatn and were so well pleased that we
piust say something of it, that our little reads
ers in the country may know something of it.
We wont around about 3 o’clock and found
the little boys aud girls with bright rosy faces
dropping in by bevies and taking their seats
in their accostomed places. Iu a short time
there, were gathered two hundred
or more of as sweet faces as we ever saw. All
looked smiling and happy, as we looked upon
them before the exercises commenced, and we
thought that there was a charm connected
with the school which attracted this large
crown of little ones hither, and brought a
number of larger ones too. We soon found,
out what the charm was.
As soon as a sufficient number of the chib,
dren were collected, the singing commenced.—
We have heard many concerts in our time, and
have heard some fine music, but we have never
heard anytbiug that del ghted us so much as
the sweet singing of these little ones. It re
minded more of the warbling of birds than of
anything else, so fresh and sweet %»re the
voices. Every one, large and small, seemed to
a vo : ce in the singing, and the basement
ol St. James was filled with a volume of waib
lings sweet enough to drive the wrinkles of
care from the most hard visag?d man. and bring
a smile of content and gratification to bis face.
While listening to them, we forgot all about the
war, forgot we were a man, and only thought
we, too, was a rosy-cheeked little boy, singing
with them their delightful Sabbath school
songs. And when we carne to our senses, after
the singing, we almost regretted that we were
not still a little boy to sit amongst that infant
choir and sing as they sing.
The gentle man—we are sorry we do not
know his name so as to tell our little readers
who ho is—who trains these little voices, has
done it admirably. The little voices all seem
ed to be well trained and rose up full and
.sweet in the choruses. There was no dis
cord, but all seemed to feel what they were
singing, and sung with the same gushing
notes as comes from the throat of a mocking
bird, only much sweeter.
If any of our little friends in the country
have a notion of spending a pleasant day in
the city we advise them to come on the Sab
bath and go around to St. James’ Sabbath
School in the afternoon aud they will be de
lighted.
Parlor Entertainment. — Tomorrow
(Wednesday) evening, Messrs. Barnes, Cour
terier and Shriener, give one of their delight
ful concerts at Masonic Hall, the proceeds to
be applied to a benevolent purpose. To all
lovers of fun and good music we say go.
The gentlemen are all known 10 be fine artists
and have the trick of pleasing the audience
by vote. They have given many concerts in
this city and in other places and have suc
ceeded to the intense delight of the audience.
These concerts are all given for benevolent
purposes. Our soldiers must be cared for
and the unfortunate exiles must have food
and clothing. Messrs. Barnes & Cos., propose
doing all they can in their behalf, and truly
are doing a noblo work. Give them a rousing
house now and show that the people of Au
gusta not only appreciate good things but arc
willing to aid those who are needy.
John Graeme, Esq., of the Richmond Whiy t
has favored us with a visit. We are pleased
to state he is in fine health. His visit to
Georgia is connected with the duties of the
position he now holds as President pro tem of
the Press Association, the directors of which
w ill soon have a meeting.
M 0 Cayck.— We invite constant attention
to the Arcade.
Mr Cayce lias been known ns a successful
Auctioneer for 10, these many years. He is
capable of knocking down as much goods
aud at as good prices as “any other man,”
If you have goods to sell, and want to do
well, call at the Arcade, the tacky place to
trade. And if by chance your wish to buy
the best place to try is the Arcade, where
everybody and his family ought to go to
trade.

New.n'an, Ga., Oct. (iih, 1864.
The work goes bravely on at the Front. As
courier after courier comes dashing into this, at
present bustlirg little village, the faces of the
eager crowds of ciiizans and soldiers (en route
for their comm inds in the field) go up like the
mercury iu a thermometer. There is nothing
ot a dampening nature now—reverse and re
treat are obsolete words, and are expunged I
trust at least trom our western military lexicon.
The left wing of our army under the intrepid
Slew irtstruck the State Railroad at Big Shanty
at 11 o’clock oil Monday last, capturing several
trains and a small number of prisoners. The
order to tear up and destroy the road at libitum,
was received by our infantry with yells, and it
being eonside ed the first inlautry railroad raid
they seemed determined to set an example to
the cavalry whioti would not soon bs forgotten
Muskets, ammunition, blankets, and every
thing which could impede them in the novel
enterprise were thrown aside as they pitched
in with a will upon the rails and cross ties.
The hails ware torn up and conveyed off a
short distance, and so bent and distorted by
the huge fires built around them, as to render
them effectually useless. Th'e cross ties were
piled up and set fire to also, until not a vestige
remained—and thus the work was going
steadily on towards Acworth and Altoona up
to the last accounts we had of their operations.
Besides this, and to render the work of des
truction more complete, spades and shovels
were brought into requisition, and every cut
and embankment which the corps came to
was dug down and leveled cleverly to its
primitive state. Such complete destruction
of a railroad has not taken place since the
firing of the first gun at Sumter.
Tho whole infantry force of Hood’s army
are jubilant at the success of their confreres
in their maiden railroad operations. Hardee’s
old corps, uuder Cheatham, were within four
miles of the railroad at last accounts, and I
havo learned from an officer just down from
the array, that our signal corps had planted a
station at the Military Institute, just outside
of Marietta.
Our army had not yet taken possession of
Kennesaw Mountain, but could do so at any
moment they were so disposed.
Wheeler is reported to be at Etowah and
to have burned the bridge over that river—
hut this needs confirmation. We know that
he is in that vicinity, however, and are expect
ing hourly to hear that he has accomplished
something upon the road.
There are said to be but a small amount of
supplies 4n Marietta, the principal depot be
tween Atlanta and Chattanooga being at Car
tersville, which is defended by quite a lormi
dable chain of earthworks and stockades,
inside of which ib cooped up a brigade of
Yankees.
If they are not ferretted out of there very
soon I am mistaken iu my c ilcnlations—that’s
all !
It is supposed by those who are posted in
military matters that Stewart wil! complete the
destruction of the railroad as far up as Altoo
na and perhaps to the Etowah—at least bis
corps will be allowed to amuse themselves in
this way until there is some call lor them in
the field.
There have been several rumors current in
reference to the disposition of Sherman’s
forces, hut none of them thus far have been
confirmed. Ilewas said to have moved troops
out upon Sunday as far as the Railroad bridge
over the Chattahoochee ; and that they were
subsequently recalled. On Monday he was
reported to be moving again in a direction
lower down the river, but this information,
also, proved to be premature. As the matter
now stands, nothing definite is known, as to
the plan he will probably adopt to extricate
himself from the rather awkward predica
ment in which lie has been plac»d. He i3
very much in the fix that tho fly is said to
AUGUSTA, GEORGIA, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 18(U.
have been, when iuvited into sir Spider’s
drawing room.
flood, or the designer of* this campaign of
ours, whoever may be entitled to the credit of
it, has proven himself more than a match for
the cunning Yankee, who talked so big and
struttod so grandly, when accident placed
him in Atlanta.
I opine that he has something else to think
about now than issuing orders ot exiles, writ
tiug bragidooio, blasphemous letters, or in
quiring into the status of skulkers fromour
flag.
Sherman, by a continued run of luck, which'
may attend any on**, succeeded in wormii g
himself into Atlanta, and climbing, as he sup
posed, up to the topmost round of the military
ladder, doubtless more surprised than those
who knew him to find himself so famous.
I predict that Jie will exhibit, now that Mc-
Pherson is lost to him, less military genius in
getting out of Atlanta than would be exhibited
by the poorest general in the Yankee service.
I speuk advisedly of Sheimtn’s qualifications
as a gneral, for I knew him iuiwntely in
years gone by. and am satisfied that, beyond a
certain amount, pi Yankee perseverance find
obstinacy, he has none of the utiribates ot ge
uius in bis old-blooded carcass. Gen. Hood’s
headquarters yesterday were at ‘Conlv’s
House,” on the South Manchester road, be
twei n Lost Mountain and Manchester.
The morale of our army is splendid, and
with the assurance from General Hood in his
recent address that the army of Sherman has
been depleted to such an extent, by expira
tion of terms, &c., and that consequently tho
great inequality of ■days goue by had ceased
to exist in a measure; are anxious and eager
for the ball to open.
It is useless for mo to speculate upon the
plans of Sherman. We can only conjecture
here, and so can you—so chalk out a cam
paign for him if you can. Espkhanza.
P. S.—A squad of Lewis’ Kentucky cavalry
at Fairburn, on a reconnoisance yesterday,
captured a couple of Yaukoe prisoners, and
brought them here this afternoon:
These prisoners, who are Kentuckians, state
that the troops which had been stationed in
and around East Point, consisting of the 15th,
16th and 17th corps, under Howard, had left
the day before for some point north of the
city. We ma} hear of them soon. These
prisoners report that while our forces were at
Palmetto two Yankee corps, supposed to bo
4th and sth, left Atlanta for some point
North.
If such is the case, and I have no doubt
Gen. Hood was aware of the fact when he
ailuded in his address to the depletion of
Sherman’s army, we can show as good a
front as Sherman.
There are no Yankees now between this
point and xAtlanta. Esparanza.
