the story doubtful, for the reason that
if such vfsutho oaso our nuthorilltshero
would li»»« nooived the intelligence-
We also learned, upon what we think re
liable authority, that n body of i nukoes,
whether ‘wo d07.6b or two thousand was

trom Monlgotn. iy. »“d 1 our forces
had fallen hack “> flhebaw. which is 4U
mtieS from iloalgoruary aud 26 from
Opelika. If this statement is correct,
the Federal force advanciug on the
Montgomery and West Point road is 55
miles from Columbus by railroad.
From information in our possession
we are satisfied that the enemy will not
more in any considerable forco from
Montgomery for some days to come. It
is even doubtful whether they contem
plate any immediate movement in this
direction, until after the river has boon
oleared between Montgomery aud Mo
bile, and a base established at the for
mer placo. This, however, is merely an
opinion of our owu, aud may prove er
roneous.
If Columbus should be Ihreatoued and
tbe Confederate authorities deem this a
point of sufiioieut importance to make at
least one manly effort for its defense,
our people demand it as their right that
an officer of known ability and sobriety
be attho head of affairs, Thty will be
satisfied wt±fi none other. With such
an officer in command, our citizens will
wake any and every sacrifice. With the
reverse, they cannot and will not enter
into action with that soul and energy
requisite for suooess.
Wo presume there lives not a man in
Columbus unwilling to defend his home
and that of his neighbor against un
attack by the common enemy. All are
willing, nay. anxious, (o contribute their
aid to the defense of the city. Compulsory
measures are quite unnnocssary. That
is uot the plan to secure harmony and
concert of action. Let sober men—
men of integrity, character and stability
of purposo—raiso companies to be com
posed of persons not liable to Confede
rate or State duty, for the dsf'ensoof the
oity. If suoh nion will take hold of tho
matter, form a nuolous for voluntoer
companies, and promiso to servo under
none but sibsr and energetic men, every
man in Columbus will attach himsolf
to somo organization; and when the
emergency arises, will light to the bitter
end.
The presumption is that aa ofliocr of
higher grade than nny one here now,
will be assigned to duty Bhould tho de
fense of the city bo decided upon. In
tho preceding remarks \ve cannot, there
fore, bo understood ns having allusion
to those officers now iu command. Nor
do wc question their ability; but la
case of au advance by the enemy some
general offfoer would probably boas
sigued to command. That officer must
be a man of temperate habits, and ono
who will enforce discipline at all haz
hrds, otherwise resistance will provo
useless.
Fhom Chaulkston.—From the Courier
of the 3J instant wo learn that the recent
Union meeting rft Zion church was
strictly au African affair. Tho Courier
calls them “our oolored oitisons,” and
says that they havo “cyinsed a determi
nation to go forward and do what they
can toward establishing sound Union
principles in the oity, and unless the
white people are energetio in their moves
ments they will find that tho work will
have been accomplished without their
aid.” From whieb we infer that the
white people designated pro rather sullen
dogs.
Ucu. Hatch Las bueu,elected President
of the association for the erection of a
monument to the martyrs of the race

atone ou the 4th of July, aud have a
celebrated ora; r speck on tho ocoasion.
Subscriptions of teu cents will be re
ceived, but no limit is attached to the
contribution.
(Jen. Hatch has given two lino aud
spacious residcucss for a boys’ aud girls’
orphan asylum. It is to be callod the
“Hatch Asylum.”
Three thousand ono hundred and sevs
euleeu children attend tho public schools,
flighty teachers are employed ; seventy
four are residents of Charleston. Seven
schools ero opened Os tho school ohil,
dreu the Courier does not state how many
are black.
War has been declared against the
canine race. No dog uan be kept within
the city limits without a iioenso fee of
$1 per mouth. The curs found at large
are to be clubbed and not shot. Neody,
iufirni and crippled persons aro to be
supplied with clothing. Messrs. Veree,
Legate, Dereef, Weston, Duncan, Johns
ton, Maxwell aud Vanderhorst are named
as distributing agents.
A mechanic, writing to tho Courior
about a Union meeting, 6ays: “The
Union people of Charleston are more
numerous amongst the lower aud middlo
than the upper clastes, and as it has been
the custom with the latter to initiate auy
movement of a political tendency, it is
Lot aetouishiug if, under’ the influence
Os this incubus, there aro few, if any,
amongst us who dare assume the privi
lege of freedom to express our opinion."
To which the Courier rathor tartly re
sponds that the “lower and middle class
es must have a poor opinion of (heir in
tiuenoo, if thus deterred.”
A name for bravery and patriotism is
coveted by most men of spirit. There
are many, however, who are unwilling to
hazard their lives in the army for tho
sake of being called brave. A etill
greater number are unwilling to part,
with their property, or any porti on of it
to be called patriotio. They would sub
stitute some trifling contract or sinecure
position for hard service in the field.—
They would atone for their niggardly
selfishness by abusing everybody who
may fail to endorse the policy of the ad»
ministration. This service is easily per
formed, and is presumed to accomplish
the ends desired. Their “support" may
be essential to the existence of any Gov
ernment, or to the fortunes of any party,
and in oonsideraticn of which it is stip
ulated that posterity shall call them
brave and patriotic.

The greater part of tho array has not

At 1 : 30 P. M. to-day Gen. Grant

follows : “Our troops after being driven
back to the Jdoydtowu plankroad, rallicl
and drove the enemy iu turn, and took
the White Oak road, which we now have.
This gives us the ground occupied by
the onomy this morning. 1 will send you
the rebel flag captured by oiir troops in
driving the enemy back. There havo
been four flags captured here to day.
Judging by the two points from which

March 30, 8:30 p. m. J
Notwithstanding a heavy rainstorm
which set in la3t night aud coutinued un
til this afternoon, ibe army lias to day
advanced about two mile.', nud the s.fi
corps has reached tl.e Boydtowa plank
road, near its junction with, the White
Oak. This js the j.iaeo where the 2d
corps had am engagement with tho ene
my last autumn, in which it suffered se
verely. The ground gained lo day cost
us but a few men, the rebels making but
very slight resistance. At JJa'cher’s
Run, which ; s only a short distance
furthoron, tho enemy have strong earth
works erected, defended with heavy
guns, and here they will no doubt make
a stand to oppose our further advance.
From this point the new line extends to
Armstrong’s mill, the 2J corps holding
the right, of his position in the engage
ment of yesterday. The number of
prisoners taken is 125, with eight com
missioned officers. They belonged to
Bushrod Jdhuson’s cavalry, and wero
part of tho lorcc that maao the attack
upon onr lines last Saturday. The reb
els made a demonstration at, seven points
on the old line last night for the pur
peso evidently of ascertaining whether
tho works wero held iu force. They did
not gain anything, however, excepting
tho information that tho linn was strong
enough to defend itself. This explains
the firing hoard at Gity Point ou Wednes

operations of the cavalry,’ tut they will,
ii is not doubted, give % good account of

Tho Petersburg Kxpre«B says large bodiei ofcav

foot is \vtll known tint a large body of cavalry
moved down iko road two or throe dav» sines. It
is highly probable that Sheridan, inflated by his
recent successes, may attempt s um-thing similar on
this side of the linos. We predict for him an inglo
rious defeat. Reliable intelligence from City l*o.nt
represents the presence of tiftceu monitors and,
forty iron clad vessels in the .lames r.ver, besides
an innumerable tleet of smaller and less formida
ble boats. Since the attempt of the Confederates
to pa*a the Yankee obstructions tho enemy has
doubled bis vigiance and largely increased his na
val force. Commodore Porter is in command of
the tleet, aud his flag ship occupies a promiueut
position among the ve.-sels.

All the sick and wounded both in Pe

Rumors.—These aro as plentiful a3
blackberries iu Juno We mention a
couple current yesterday : One that the
enemy were in Tuskegee, another that
they were within si:: miWs of Uaioc
Springs, neither of which do we believe
have any foundation in fact.
Our own opinion is that the enemy in
Montgomery are sending out scouting
aud foraging parties to the surrounding
country, and these may go twenty, or
even thirty miles from that cby, lienee
the same of alarm of a reported advance.

COLUMBUJ, April 13th, 1865.
Citucns of Columbus:
Our sister city, Montgomery, ia at this time iu
the hands of the enemy, and without the firing of
a gun for her defimae. lho military authorities
have assured me that every effort shall afid will
be mado, with the forco at their command, to re
sist the occupation of one foot of Geo gia soil;
that Columbus shall never fall without a stren
uous t ffort made iu her defense. I am further
asiured that, with the unanimous and determined
co-operation of the citizens, we wil ba safe, and all
that i* necessary to defend the city is for the citi
zens to organize, report to, and receive arms and
equipment j from the commandant of the post.
I, therefore earnestly call upon und urg) the
citizens of Columbus, to arouse themselves, org»u
izj und report without delay.
Never lot it bo said that Georgians wero too de
graded to appreciate their liberties or 100 cow
ardly to defcfcd them.
Under circumstauces such as now suiroubd ns,
it becomes uejeisary that stringent Orders should
be issu-.d »n«l measures adopted which in calmer
times might appear arbitrary aud tyrannical
Should it become necc£s*ry, in the judgment of
the military authorities, to is«ue such orders, 1
earnestly call upon our citizdus to submit to thorn
cheerfully and freely, and to sustain aud uphold
the commandant of the post in-all his (ffbrisf*
our pret ction aud defense, for I am well assure)
he is doing everything he can to that end, and.
for our two good.
1 b’iVtf advised aud counseled that au order be
issued that no man capable cf bearing aruw bo
permitted to leave the city, and I trust (for I am
satislio 1 it ia essential) every man will see the
nectssity cfsuch an older. Let every man come
up aud do hij wh.do duty, and Columbus is safe,
aud will be relieved from the degradation of a
surrender without a struggle.
