( In resuming our publication at this point, find in the confusion incident to removal, some of the subscribers to the Register may fail to receive it. Many subscribers have also, like ourselves, “ changed their base.” If such will furnish us their new address, the paper will be promptly forwarded to them. 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. Recollect his situation, opposite tho Plan ter’s Hotel. Sales every day.

SECOND EDITION. Special Correspondence of the Register. LETTEK from llie FRONT. The Merctrry Still Gob g Up— Stewart's Operations Upon The Railroad—The jfirst Regular Infantry Raid — Wheeler And Ilia Whe r eabouis— Marietta and Carters vill—-What the Yankee Ge"eral la Doing—The Morale Os Our Army—Capture Os Yankee Prisoners —Reported Movements of the Enemy. 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. IS! ew Advertisements. LOST,* ON tho retreat from Atlanta, a Red Sole Leathor Ya li*e marked 0 11.

Hood upon Atlanta has been so far sue ces-itul. The railroad from B'g Shanty t« Kingston has been utterly destroyed, even th cuts filled up atul al4 the garrisons along thi»> distance captured. On ist, Wednesday French’s division, Os Stewart’s corps, made an at fuck upon Altoona, which failed. The whole corps subsequently went to his assistance when the town was car ried by assault and 4,000 prisoners taken, to gether with an immense quantity ol the inate ri < 1 of war. Our aimy was on the Kingston and Rome Railroad at last accouuts. Gen. Beauregard is with Gen. Ilood. Slocums’ 20th army corps now hold Atlan ta. The remainder of Sherman’s army have gone up the road. There is no cavalry what ever at Atlanta. Gen Iverson captured .East Point the othe** day taking fifty wagons iu good condition am the wrecks of a great many more. Iveiflons’s pickets are within one mile o| the city and either kill or capture every Yan* kee who ventures outside the main works. Sherman is beyond Chattanooga, cut oft from his main army. Thomas is in com tuand. The evacuation of Atlanta is looked for every day. The enemy have no stock with which to haul artillery or commissaries am no railroad. The Augusta dispatch that Hood’s move ments had been anticipated and checkraatef was pure stuff. The telegraph office and everything apper taining lo the army has been removed froii Newnan.

Price, with the main column of Shelby , force took a more Northerly route, operating principally on the railroad, which was great ly damaged, especially the Southwesterr branch, torn up in may places, carß, depots, bridges, tressels and tanks burned. * At last accounts Price was between th«* South branch and main Pacific road with t*, train of 200 wagons. A*J Smith was at Franklin. All quiet at Jefferson City, although tele* graphic communication was cut off. Ewing is reported arrived at Rolla with 80 men ot tlte Pilot Knob Garrison.

Nashville dates of the 4th say Forrest after destroying the Alabama and Tennessee Rail road advanced to Duck River and Spring Hill and thence towards Florence. Guerrilla bands are numerous around Nash ville, capturing commissary and foraging train**, disabling wagons and carrying off mules. Two upward freight trains were captured betwoeu N siville and Louisville. Telegraphic communication is opened to Chattanooga. A large force is at work on tho Alabama and Tennessee Road and cars will be running to Pulaski in a week and telegraph working to Athens. . Passengers from Chattanooga report that a portion of Forrest’s forces demanded the sur render of Dalton. New York is preparing a grand ovation to Winston of the Keersage.
