The Legislature adjourned and proceeded in a body to the depot and joined the procession. The procession was composed of the Military, Masonic Fraternity, members of the Legislature, City Council and citizens, who escorted the re mains to the Capitol, where they laid in state in the Hall of the House of Representatives. The remains have gona forward to-night to New Orlear>a Passengers by to-day’s train report the enemy crossing Green river in two places. A general engagement is expected. A gentleman who participated in the fight yes terday, now here, counted 65 of the enemy killed- Vessel Beached on Cumberland and then Burnt by the Enemy. The following dispatch was received in this city last night by the Cuban telegraph, says the Savannah Republican: Fernandina, Dec. 15. This morning an unknown vessel was seen making tor this bar. The blockaders attempt ed to cut her oif. Finding no salvation, the vessel beached herself on Cumberland Island, about six miles north of this bar. The crew took to their boats and are supposed to have got safely ashore. The enemy fired some four or six shots at her while aground. A detach ment was sent to their aid from this place.— Have not heard whether the crew got safely ashore or not. Later— The enemy’s launches boarded the vessel, and after an unsuccessful attempt to get her off, they fired her and returned to the blockade. Soi.'ik Carolina Money.— We understand that a report has gained credence in this city, to the etfect that the Charleston banks have been ruined by the late fire in that city, and that their bills are, in consequence, worthless. Some ofour citizens have been making tinnec cessary purchases, in order to get rid of their South Carolina money. We pen this para graph for the purpose of assuring them that there is no cause whatever for alarm. The South Caro’ina Banks, and the Augusta Banks, are as sound as they ever have been, and it is the height of folly for holders of their bid's to become panic stricken, and throw away their money.— Ang. Cos st. Important from Washington— lmportant in formation direct from Washington reached the Government, in this city on Saturday night, which will not be permitted to transpire. It was confidently asserted when the informant left Washington,last Wednesday, that an attack from the Potomac would be made within ten days, and appearances seem to indicate that such was the intention. All the troops destined for the enterprise were said to be already on this side of the river. —lliehmcnd Dispot' h, l(>th inst.

The Y ankees have oc cupied Little Bethel in force. This is believed to be in accordance with Gen. Magruder’s pro gramme, as he offered no resistance. Our boy g are impatient to engage the vandals. It is thought that they will be gratified befere they are many do ayslder. The Planters’ Bank of Savannah has appro priated SI,OOO in aid of the Charleston suffer ers. Masonic Contribution. —The Grand Lodge of Alabama have appropriated $2,600 for the use of the sick and disabled soldiers of the State in the army of the Confederate States. PEYTON K. COLQUITT, ) /AMES W. WARREN. ( $5 PKR ANNUM Lin («iiu Emancipation Policy in tb« Border Slates. A dispatch from Washington to the New York Times describes the utmost alarm among the members from Western Virginia, 'Kentucky and Missouri as to the result of the recently declared policy of Lincoln and Cameron to emancipate the slaves of the Confederates. The dispatch says: “the deepest utmost excite ment prevails among the Union members of Con gress from Western Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri in regard to the future policy of the Administration. The most prominent among them, aDd those who have labored most earn estly from the beginning against the Southern* rfebeilion, declare that the inagurntion of theab •litiou policy of the war, and a movement look ing to the arming of the slaves, will instantly throw the three States named into the Southern Confederacy and annihilate the great National armies in Kentuoky and Missouri —in fact, all National organization west of tho Alleghany Mountains." A letter of a recent date from Tennessee, received by a gentleman of our city on Saturday last, 3tate* “that the excitement in East Tenuea see growing out of the burning of the bridges a short time since, has subsided. The Government had placed guards of soldiers on the remaining bridges to protect the property. West Tennes see had nobly redeemed the disgrace with which her children in the East had tarnished her fair fame. Our Governor, Harris, is a true Southern man.” The letter goes on to state that the writer was informed by an ofiioer employed on the defences of Columbus, Kentucky, that tko place is impregnable. The river ts dotted vutU sub-marine infernal maschines, which at the touch of a finger will annihiliate any Federal ves - sel that may be bold enough to float over them. The people, the writer further adds, are deter mined to re-enact the drama of Moscow, should the enemy gain possession of Columbus. Char. Courier, 17 th- With reference to the Confederate strength on the coast, a dispatch from New Y T ork says: . “There are about twelve thousand North and South Carolina end Goorgia troops on the rail road to Savannah, and about five thousand in Charleston. Most of the South Carolina regi ments are still in Virginia. Five gunboats are building at Charleston. They are confident at Charleston that they can gather forces enough to rnuet us at any poiut on the main land thty may chuuse.” The Missouri Republican makes the following ridiculous and unwarranted boast, which shows how the people of 'he North are imposed upon: The national tL*g now lfoats over the oi every seceded State except Alabama and Aik.m sas. Tn V’ rgiuia ii tioais over one-third of tLe State; iu North Carolina, at Hatteras Inlet; 5a South Carolina, at Fort Royal and a half a do zen neighboring Islands: iu Georgia on 1 yi.ee Island; in Florida at Key West and Santa IU sa Island, and other points; in Mississippi at Ship Island; in Louisiana at Chandeleur Island; in Texas at El Paso: and in Tennessee at Bris* tol, Elizabethtown, and other points in the eas tern part of the State. Good for the Girls —A copy of the fol lowing has been sent to each ol the Southern Rights young men of Christian county, Ky., who have not enlisted : •‘Sir :—Our committee understand thut yini have some available weapons which a tender regard for your personal safety prevents yo« from using in defense ofour homes, now threatened by Yankee invaders.

Cottov. —In years past the planters manifested great anxiety in gathering their cotton, but this year there appears to be great apathy on tiie sub ject, and planters do not care whether it gath ered or not. Heretofore, with fine weather and a fine picking season like the present, the eotten on the hill holds would be very nearly gathered by this time. We are told the fields remain while with the staple. This indifference is no doubt caused by the want of n market, and our enemies may learn from it the. firm determination of the people never to allow'them to profit by ouri rop-* until they end the war.— J ie.h*hvrg M hup At the annual election of officers i.j Chandler Lodge, No. 155, Cusseta, G.i., on Saturday, De cember 14th. 1861. the following officers were eleetted for the ensuing year, to-wit: Stephen W.
