The above is evidently a mistake, if
Alabama and Mississippi arc still within
the Confederacy, and wo hardly think
those States should be entirely counted
out. TV's have no right to suppose that
the Mobile papers, with those es Missis
sippi, have yet ceased to exist. The Mo
bile paper mill can furnish the Press of
that section of the country with a supply
until captured or evacuated. Ia that
case, Mississippi and Alabama aro both
in hands of the enemy, and every
newspaper will bo forced to leavo. Mis

or two others that has escaped our mem

There will be, in a few days, the fol
lowing leading journals resuming their
places in the list: First, ihc Appeal,
probably at Macon, or wherever the Cap

the Charleston Mercury at Augusta, and
the Atlanta Register at Atlanta. Tjie
latter will issue its first numbtr about

“Cantin,” the Augu3ta correspondent
of the Macon Confederacy, in his last
letter to that paper, dated 9th, says:
The latest Liverpool papers state tCat
large placards, beautifully illuminated,
posted over that, city lately, headed
CHARLESTON HAS FALLEN! BABY
LON IS FALLEN 1! and followed by the
18th chapter of Revelations, which says:
“I Baw another angel come down from
heaven, having great power, and the earth
was lighted wild his glory : and he cried
mightily with a strong voice, saying :
Babylon the great is fallen and is become
the habitation of davits and the hold of ev
ery foul spirit, and a cage of every un
clean and hateful bird.”
This is rather a severe sarcasm on the
Yankees, but the balance of the chapter
as it follows, is decidedly a hard rap on
the knuckles of blockade runners and
speculators generally, including a very
large number of money.loving and un
patriotic seceoh.
Liverpool ia a great cotton mart, and
it ispuesumable it has its Yanko
saries and Southern agents, who are
earnestly engaged in furthering the
utmost wishes of their employers. The
placards may be applied to cither side,
and ara as non-committal as the con
temptiable English nation, in all its
selfish policy during Iho past years of
our destructive revolution.
From a returned exchanged officer, of
high rank, brave and gallant precedents,
and excellent name, 1 learn an item that
has never heretofore been published,
lie toils me that the Yankees have a
museum of anatomical specimens, tho
accumulations of this war, which repre,-
Kent cvi vj Confederate officer of grade
and rank who has been operated upon
by the Yankee surgeons since tie war
began. Ilia left arm is ‘labeled'and kgpt
in ajar iu the museum in Philadelphia as
a trophy r.nd mark of his own misfortune.
The specimens are carefully preserved,
like the savage Indian preserves the
scalps of his victims, as trophies.
I must not close without remarking,
that it is very apparent to me that
there i3 a class ot people in this city
which represent the worst enemies we
have iu the Confederacy. I refer to peo
ple who have so little sense and patriot
ism as to exhibit a jubilant and gratified
spirit whenever tha Y’ankees gain any
advantages, and who have long faces and
utter doubtful remarks to dishearten us
whenever our troops gain victories.
These men are our enemies, and should
be treated as such. Their cowardly
hearts know no patriotism. They are
the accursed excrescences, who should
be placed in the front rank and be
forced to die the death they so richly
deserve—death at the hands of their
friends and our enemies.

Kditor Confederacy: Af er un ab.oaeo
of eeveinl d;:y., on my return home, I
find in ilie <’■ u:e Icracy a communication
over the signature of Col. A. L Lamar,
which demands a brief notieo at my
hands While the communication nf
feels to be a correct version, of the cir
tiimsiauuee O jUiieoted will, the seizuro of
ihe “Comei,’ it eoutaitis no statement,
which, if true, would fitfect (he principles
involved in that nfiTir. They were dis.
cussed and settiui imhe correspondence
with Goaeral C'obb. The whole purport
of the communication is to divert atico
lion from these questions by an assault
upou my character a::. ! ihat. of thftso as
sociated with me iu this matter- -hy a
series es unfounded and milicious as
sertion, made by a reckless man, who has
choson this manner to v-nt, liis spleen
upon those who frustrated his plans and
disappointed his hopes es making money
oat of his official posiGim aid Uie ceces
sities of the comvtiy Wtie.e C.l. A. J,
Lamar is known, slip paop'-c uederstand
what weight to giva to his sia.’ements.
Whore 1 have lived r more i; . ! lif;y
' jnrn, nnvtam well ki.Owa, iici'e, charges
of falsehood and corruption ngiiusi me
need no disproval. But echio cf your
readers know but little of cither of us,
hence the necessity of this article.
110 starts out in his communication
with a statement which doos not agree
with that of General Cobb on the same
point. He says he “was instructed by
General Cobb to permit Mr. Ayres to take
down two hundred bates of cotton—he
having agreed 10 exchange it for bacon,
iron aud salt, for the use of the Govern
ment.” Gen. Cobb says ho “gave Mr.
Ayres permission to take cotton to ex
change for talt and other necessaries.”
Colonel Lamar’s statement would endeav
or to make it a Government matter. Gen.
Cobb bhows it to have been .a private
speculation. Gen. Cubb goes on to say,
“the same tuithoii'y wan subsequently
given to Cot. Lamar, and tho authority
given to take some Government cotton to
defray expenses.” Colonel Lamar, in
his history—profes-dtg to be the true
one—is silent ns to hia permit, to trade
with the Yankees—perverts one tnuh
and suppresses another; Gnu. Cooli’s
letter cf the 80tit ult. to mo being the
evidence against him. He asserts as a
fact, what is not true according to Gen.
Cobo’a letter, that Mr. Ayres’ transne
lioa iu cotton wan to be for ihe use of the
Government; and suppresses another,
according to iketumo authority, that he,
Col. C. A. L. Lamar, went on his mission
in tha double capacity of a negotiator
and trader wiki the enemy. The man
so ungrateful ns to make such assertions
in opposition to those of his benefactor,
who provides him a “bomb-proof,” and
affords him buch facilities to trade, and
so reekie£3 as so record them in op
peaition to the counter statements of a
gentleman of the exalted character of
Goa. Cobb, 1 think is ready to say or do
anything to accomplish lbs purposes;
and 1 think this expose will convince
yoar readers that ho is inclined to bo
rather too swift, a witness iu lii3 own case,
tku9 damaging it.
The Etatcmeut of Col. Lamar that I
acted ia bad faith with him in going up
the street, and calling out to friends to
okr. S—C --ovttrJT •nn*-|'WB.. *U. ue.
uottnood mo for my'duplioity, is not true.
Those acquainted wisu my cbaraclor will
be blow to believe iliat I ever tamely
submitted to denunciation ‘ from any
man.
One word as lo iho character of iliose
who wore my associate;; iu this tifuir.
Col. Lamar speaks of theuu us a- “mob”
and a “crew.” AIJ of ihem are honora
ble and patriotic men—some of them
occupying the highest social, poll list
attd religious positions in Hie county,
hose good names cannot bo tarnished
bv t-uch a man as he is; and none
of the party would sutler by a coinj arisen
of their characters, with bis. It. is tin
eutrago that, such men should bo defam
ed and vi!':.fi >J for but doing their duty ;
and the man who does it should not atm
plain if he is denounced lor sack con
duct.
Cslonel Lamar contradicts my asser
tion that Mr. Ayres did not claim the
cotton nor proclaim his authority from
General Cobb lo ship it.- Xu writing to
Gen.. Cobb I had in my mind ray first
interview ’with Mr Ayres, in which his
conversation certainly sustained my
statement. Upon riflection, and after
conversation with others who heard Mr.
Ayres talk afterwards., 1 am, inclined
to believe he did afterwards make asser
tions just the opposite of bis first, id me,
W aji« ot air. Ayres, I
take occasion to cay that his statement
as recorded in Gen. Cobb’s letter to me,
that if permission had been given us
here to ship cotton, the boat would have
been permitted to pas;", is and can be
proven to be iucorrect.
His statement that I proposed to him
to ship cotton on his boat is untrue.
That a propasition Was made to me to
ship cotton and witdraw my opposition,
he admits, or rather, that Mr. Ayers of
fered to permit me to take parr, of bio'
cotton already on board. With ibis ad
mission on his part, his declaration that
“if Capt. McDuffie means to insinuate
that I offered him tho opportuniiy to ship
cotton he simply asserts a falsehood,” is
a cheap way of playing the bully, and
his expression of opinion that such a
proposition would have been accepted by
mo, is perhaps his honest opinion of men
as judged by himself—tested by his own
personal Mandat'd of rectitude and
honor.
For the purpose of developing the plans
of Col. Lamar and party, after consulta
tion with my friends, and with their full
knowledge and approval of my plaa and
purposes, I remarked iu the heariug of
some of tho parly, that if such trading
was permitted and carried on, it was hard
that others should Lave all the benefits,
while we had none; and that if we could
share Ihe privilege there would be lees
ground for complaint. My remark had
tie desired effect—drew forth their prop,
csitions and developed their plana.—
These propositions were immediately
made known to several geatlemen, who
can testify to these facts, and were held
under consideration just long enough to
get plenty of men tegethor to stop the
boat effectually.
Colonel Lamar, in commenting cn my
statement to General Cobb, that be was
offered the boat to “ike him to Doctor
town, on condition not to take the cotton
to trade lo the Yankees, says, “the re
verses is true,” and gives as a reason
for ti»is declaration, me fact iLa: he of
fered his piedge that the cotton should
return with the boat, atm that Mr. Ayres
offered a large bond to ihe same effect. ,
Uhe fact that he made the pledge does not
Drove what he thinks it does ; but, that
I could place no reliance on his pledge.
He was a reckless violator of law under
the old Government —notorious for his
connection as an African slave trader,
with the “Wanderer” affair; then, ac
cording to common repart, committing
au effensa denounced by the law, cf his
own and ev?iy kther Chrtsdni i a t>.d as
piracy. Ife harbeen Ktoupedhcro by me
attempting to violate laws of the new
Government, sjjaiust trading with the
enemy, llow edrild Rudder these cir
cumstances, rely upou hia pledge?
Any man acquainted with law knows
that the offered bond of Mr. .lyres if for
feited could not have been collected ; and
as to the time retjui. ed to unship the eot
tou from the-boat, it could, in the then
state of the water; have beet done in less
than the usual time—certainly in as short
a time as it would have taktu to go by
private conveyance to and from Macon,
for a written ordrr from General Cobb to
carry on the ooueu, whicL Col. Lamar
offered to do.
The allusions in Genora’Cobb’s loiter
to statements of Colonel Umar and Mr.
Ayres wero passed unnoticed at the time,
because I was then engaged in a dircus,
sion of principles with General Cobb,
and was not disposed tc wasto time or
ammunition on smaller game. If they
were very desirous of try attentions in
itus respect, I trust the- will bo satisfied
now. There are many other raisslato
niM'.is in Colonel Lan*i’aletter, which it
is uhiuc Btary to ti'.Aice. indeed it is
About flu Full of ihont\a the epaoe would
allow.
If the language of this article seems
harsh, let it be remembered it was drawn
out by au unnecessary attach, and that
it is the truth The parties to whom it
applies have forfeited all claims to my
courtesy or respect, and deserve ah they
get.
Whenever the public jouruulu or any
respectable gcuUtmeu desire the sworn
testimony iu support of my statements,
it shall be forthcoming ; and such testi
mony as waa never impeached in a court
of justice.
Asa right, I expect you to publish
this communication fer me; and 1 am
wholly responsible for its contents. 1
also request papers that have published
the previous correspondence, to lay this
lettor before their readers.
Very respectfully, cte ,

From Charleston.
The “loyal citizens” —that is the cra
ven hearted submissioniets of Charleston*
have held tv meeting Their spinal col
umn was too weak for further endurance
and accordingly they waited. This
meeting was held at Zion Presbyterian
Church, on the 21st cf March. A com
mittee was appointed to draft resolutions
expressive of the soctiments of the peo
ple, viz: John Banan, A. Foster Farrow,
Joseph Quash, John Stoadman, Sam
Dickson, Archibald Wiggs and Peter
Willis, who reported the following :
Ist. Rssolved, That by the timoly ar
rival of the United States authorities in
the city of Charleston ,in the IStb of Feb
ruary, 18G5, our city was saved from a
vast conflagration, our houses from de
vastation and our persons frota those in
dignities tha: they would have been sub
ject to.
2d. That our thanks are due and are
hereby tendered to the district comman
der, Brigadier General Hatch, and
through him to the officers and soldiers
under him, for the proleotiua they have
so readily and impartially bestowed sinco
their occupation of the city.
3d. Thatto Admiral Dahlgrcen, United
Bin two >i,» tt.~ - tit.iuUy lender a ut* 'si ft -
Cere thanks for the uobto manner in
which ho cared so. aud t.auttnisicrctl to
the wants of our people at Georgetown,
S. C., and that he be assured that for
the eamc he shall be ever held in grateful
rememberanee by us.
4f,h. That to his Excellency Abraham
Lincoln, the President of the United
States, we return our sincere thanks aud
never dying gratitude for the noble aud
patriotic manner in which he promul
gated the doctrines of Republicanism,
and for the coneiHiency in not only pro
mulgating, but. invariably conferining
his action thereto, and wo shall ever bo
pleased to ackuowlougo aud hail him as
tao champion of the lights of freemen.
sth. That, copieu of tnesc resolutipns
be forwarded to Brig. Gen. Hatch, Ad.
m.ral Dahtgren and iho President of iho
United B:aies.
All of the above smacks strongly of tho
nigger, and we suppose it was only the
poor blacks who hissed the dust.
Commenting on iho appearaucc of
King street, the (hoarier jays:
King street beging to! assume its old
lively aspect. On each eide of the way,
front morning ti,l night, there is a con
tinual moving throng. The merchants
and traders seem to be doing a good
business which speaks well for ihe fu
ture prosperity of the ,chv. I' •»
......aouie now great, a change has bceu
effected in the short space of five weeks.
When the Union forces entered the city
KiDg staeet was deserted and desolate,
but now it is filled with activity and life.
Eight thousand bales of cotton have
been discovered secreted iu iho city, by
the Yankees.
Gen. Hatch has been on a tour of ins
epeotion of Georgetown, and reports all
quiet in that department
Chas H. Graham’s corps of artists have
arrived from Yankee land and opened at
tho Military Hall.
Concerning the disappearance of coin
the Courier remarks :
Gold and silver coin, which scented to
bo the principal circulating medium at
the time theUiiion forces entered Charles
ton, has made way in a great measure
to the National currency. At stores
where they formerly took iu a considcrabl
amount of coin, they now scarcely see
any of it. For tha past two weeks,
holders of the tnefal have been selling
it for greenbacks, thus displaying their
sagicity. The premium on gold in New
York on the 21st was only o3 per cent,
and we have every reshon to suspect that
to-day it is much offer The people
here as at ihe North, have confidence in
the National currency. In fact, some
traders have informed their customers
that they prefer greenbacks to coin.
This preference, of course, does not
arise from the Impression that green
backs arc really worth ns much as gol-1,
for no one can expect that to be the case
but for the reason of the trouble ex
perienced in sending the cold and eilver
where it may command a premium.
Lately the price of gold baa fluctuated a, ofton
and so widely that parties hero allowing for it ihe
New York rates at last advices have ontheant
val of a subsequent .steamer found themselves
with quite sn.aiuonnt out of the pocket.
The Charleston Hotel was reopened on the Tilth

From th» Chriftjer rctstbf.enrfr
A Scrap frdhi Herodotus.
rsammcnitus, .King of Egypt, sat
in tlio city gate. • IJc had seen his
legions swept a Way like chaff before
the savage onslaught of the invaders,
and had found unavailing the* hero
ism of the. scanty few who had es
caped the butchery at Pelusiura only
to find captivity or death at the
storming of the citadel at Memphis.
And now his kinghood was but
mockery, and his empire had. passed
to his conqueror, Camhyscs, who had
placed him at the gate only to refine
his tortures.. About him wero tlio
captive nobles of bis court, whose
years had prevented their participa
tion in tho two battles, wondering
what new thing was to befall them,
and gazing upon tho mystic symbols
of their pagan gods, which looked
from wall and obelisk unatiswcringly
to the mute prayer, with which they
prayod to tWom.
Far down the \ista of thn great,
street a procession of female slaves
seemed to be approaching j each with
a water pitcher on her head, aud
watched by a common soldier of ('am
byses’ army. On they canto silently,
under tho shadow of sphinx or pillar,
and past tho vast fapadc of temple,
and palace, and all the grand sculp
ture of Memphis, the hundred-gated.
As the mute procession came close to
the gate, tho pitclicr bearers, clad
in the coarse cloth which only slaves,
wore, glanced at the vanquished king
and lettered nobles, and with wlint a
start must these have recognized in
those water girls the willowy shapes
and sweet, dark loveliness of their
daughters, the very gems of their
hearts, the court beauties of Egypt!
I And first among them was tho daugh
ter of the King himself. When tlio
poor girls, who till now hud been
lapped in luxury and never known
the merest breath of adversity, looked
thus upon their fathers, they all, fa
thers and daughters alike, broke out
into an agony of tears, and together
they bewailed the humiliation and the
misery which drooped over them so
hopelessly. But Psammenitus sat si
lent and motionless, his eyes fixed
Upon the ground, his hands clasped
over his Jenec, and no quivering mus
cle nor starting tear spoke of his an
guish.
And after this tho monarch saw
his son led out, with two thousand
yorfng Egyptian nobles, to expiate
with their blood the violation of a
flag of truce by tlio frenzied Mem
phians, and they passed by, i:i the
footsteps of their sisters, each with a
halter about his neck and a hit in his
teeth; yet even at this sight Psam
mcnitus showed tin nIL-.vn.tiim. tLtl tlini
awluT catm, although in front and on
I'ittur »iJo of him neic ringing (1)0
imprecations and entreaties of tlio
doomed victims and of their fathers.
Put now came before his view one
who had been a high officer of his
court and a boon companion in his
hours of revelry. Stripped he was of
his superb robe of’state, the fabric of
some Babylonian loom,.ragged, dirty,
and begging charity front the jeering
scum of tho Persian army; and seeing
this man, Psammenitus broke out into
a very bitterness of weeping, and
called to the friend of his more fortu
nate days, smote upon his head, and
seemed utterly overcome by his grief.
Cambyses, hearing of all this, sent
a messenger asking why lie had calm
ly witnessed his daughter disgraced,
and liis son led out to execution, and
did so lament the misery of a fellow
who was not even of his own blood,
Psammenitus replied: .
“Go, say to him whom Fate has
made my master, that tlferc are
thoughts too deep for tears; that
weeping never can befit those paral
yzing griefs that cannot be remem
bered; whose grip, like, (ho impact I
of tlie coiner’s die, changes in an in
stant, and forever, the heart they have
enstaniped. My sorrow for my chil
dren seemed at its birth already older
than tLe dawn of Acluemorriiiii mon
archies, than Thebes, than Tityus;
and this monster agony has many
shapes, yet no one tltutrsieops not lio
beneath muscle, andheatt, and body,
in that dim, mysterious, deathless
thing—the soul. And this soul of
mine soems, in its sad existence, a
something apart from iny other life;
all too subtle for the grasp of the con
vulsive passion of a perishable hu
manity, all too sacred in its misery to
be approached by mere mind or mere
body. Gone from me, and gone for
ever, aro the golden throne and royal
robes of my ancestors; and the scep
tre which, through three hundred
reigns, lias ruled the teeming mil
lions of the plentiful Thcbais. My
darlings, too, are gone from me, and
nevermore shall gladden my crushed J
heart. Can sorrows so divine in their I
immensity ever outwardly bo mourn
ed ? Put in the sufferings, unmer
ited, of that dear friend of mine, I
saw but human fortune, and all my
human heart went out to him. 'fears
his sad case demands who, having
fallen from abundance and prosperity,
has come to beggary and dishonor on
the threshold of old age.”
When this answer was LroughUto
Cambyses, the Egyptians relate that
Croesus, who had accompanied the
invading army, wept, ancf the Per
sians wlio were near wept also; and
Cambyses himself was so touched
with admiring pity, that lie ordered
the son of Psammenitus to be taken
out from among those who were to be
executed, and returned unharmed to
his father.

A Parisfflu Character.
Tho Boulevard dos Italicns lost
last week, by the hand of death, one
es its oldest frequenters, Major Fraser
an old dandy, who from 1827 to 18til
inhabited Paris, and who when in
town, was rarely to be seen elsewhere
than at that small but clioieo section
of tho boulevard which extends from
tho Chnussco d’Antin to the Hue La
Hue. Ilia history is curious, and few
people know it. Major Fraser was
the great-grand son of the Sirnan Lord
hovet, executed for high treason in
tho reign of George 11. Some ot
his family then settled iu France,
and took service in the French army.
Major Fraser’s father emigrated to
Portugal in ](>l)0 and took a Portu
guese wife. Tho issuo of this man
age made its way in the world. —
Two daughters, yet living, and arc
the wives of rich noblemen ; one is
Marquis do Pombclles and the other
tint Marquis dc Gargello, of Naples;
one eou was a secretary -of embassy
in Austria; the other, Henry Erskine
Fraser, was the Major Fraser who
has just-gone to his grave. 110 was
born at Padajoz, Portugal, where he
lived up to the ago of clever; years.
Ho had then lost both father and
mother, and was committed to the
care of M. do. Lebscltern, the tutor
of Priucc Felix do Scliwartenberg.
The two pupils were sent together to
ltussia, where they entered tha mili
tary service as cadets. Their friend
ship dating thus early, was continued
in Paris. The Major used to be fond
of recounting how lie took part in
the battle of Leipsio, and rode into
Pavla with bis regiment of Russian
Hussars. Put of late years he left off
telling these stories, because they
mado him out to be older than he
wished to bo thought, and he was a
singularly well preserved mini fox his
age. Ho left the Russian service in
1827 \\ilh the rank of Major, and
ever after lived iu Paris, in an apart
ment in the large house on the Poulc
vtird des Italians, belonging to the
Marquis of Hertford. The furniture
ot these rooms was simple, and not
in proportion to tlio high rent of lodg
ing in that quarter. 'J'liero was little
to be seen in them beyond an iron
bedstead, a large map, a bearskin, a
largo assortment of polished leather
boots, and a barrel of Cypress wine
always on tap for the accommodation
of friends.
One day when his bed was broken
bo replaced it by a coffin, iu which
he was wont to say that ho slept better
than in bed, because he was not liable
to tumble out when disturbed by
nightmare, to which lie was very sub
ject. 11 o once made a liet with Lord
i Irony ttoyniour, that ho would rrde to
Brussels and buck in thirty nix hours’
and he did it. Another tiine hprode
for a wager to Coinpeignc and back
every day for six days running.—
-With .ill this ho was au accomplished
scholary he habitually shaped Latin
verses with Jules Jatiin, and was the
friend of Alfred do Musset, Poquet
and Romniou. He was a member of
all the most popular gambling clubs
in Paris, but never p.aycd himself.
Notwithstanding liis eccentric, and
as many.supposed frivolous life, he
had a practical taste for the industrial
pursuits of the present age. He was
a director of several railways, and
died ultirntitely from a fever caught
in Portugal, whither lie, had gone to
organize a company. —Loudon (Hole.

I GRBAf Itl his Dyihg Momumij Ab
bot do Varnot, in his History of the Rev
olutions in Portugal, gives the following,
as an instance of intrepniity and great
nets of soul displayed hy Muley Moluc
in his dying moments,
Wlton Don Sebastian, King of Portu
gal, had invaded tho territories of Mulsy
Moluc, Emperor of Moroooo, in order to
dethrono him, and Bet his crown upon
the head o. his nephew, Moluc was wear
ing away with distemper which he him
self knew wa9 itioutehls. However, he
prepared/for the ri eeptionof eo farmi-.
dahle an eceiffy ‘ Hr was indeed so fm
spent with his uokwwit. that he did
not vxpeut to live out the whole day,
whi n the last decisive battle was given ;
hut knowing the fatal causequsuco that
would happen to hiachildreu and people,
in oase he fliould die before he put an
end lo that, war, In commanded his
principal efiveerp, that, if he died during
the engagement, they should conceal liis
dialh Iron) the army, aud itoil they should
ride up to the litter iu wh.eh hts oovpae
was carried under pretence of receiving
orders from him as usual. Before the bat
tle was begun ho was carried through all
the tauks of his army in un open litter,
as they stood drawn up in army enoouv
aging them to tight valiantly in their dc«
fence of their religion and country.
Finding afterwards tho haUle to go
against him, though he was near his loot
agonies, bo throw himself out of his lit-,
ter, rallied hia army, aud led them on to
the charge, which afterwards ended in a
complete victory on the side of the Moors.
He had no sooner brought his men to
the engagement, tut finding himself ut
terly spent, tie won again replaced isv t,i h
titlir; where, laying lus finger on Ids
mouth, Urcrjowt secrecy to his s nicer*,
who stood about him he died a few mo
ments after in that position.
Bn I’bbi’arku. — Wo think it. altogeth
er probable that Ihe enemy in Alabama
are now preparing for and will soon at
tempt to make raids upon this State -
Their object is, no doubt, to destroy our
cities and our railroad oonmtuuica’ ions.
Tho railroads beyond Montgomery are
now destroyed, including everything that
can be of any service to the rebels at Sel
ma. Wo also have no doubt that Mobile
is in their hands, if this ho so, and if
our array has fallen back lowurds Men
dian, there is not sufficient force, that
wo aro aro avarc of, lo prevent, their raid ■
era from capturing Montgomery and de
stroying the railroads bet woett here aud
that point.
Thoße impudent raiders muni be met,
on our borders if they attempt to conte
Georgians can meet them Columbus
and West f’oinl. and toy to them, “thus
far and no further "
The late expedition against Hus Hints
through Ficjida was met and turned back
at, the Natural Bridge. We Ihink it al
together likely that the attempt will uow
he made lo enter the tilate un the West.
Let every man iu Georgia ho ready at a
