Editor Tuies, Columbus, Ga.:
Hear Sir—There seems to be some mlsun*
derstanding, at this time among the people in
the country, generally in reference to the sub
ject of details and exemptions from service in
favor of particular callings and pursuits.—
Thousands of individual applications are being
made to the Department, for special exe p *>
tions and details, ou the part of farmers, me
chanics, physicians and others, that they may
be allowed to attend to the business of their
several callings.
In order to save time, trouble and expense
to fheseparties, allow me through the medi
um of your paper, to suggest to them what
l fte rule now is, as adopted and carried out by
the War Department. The Department wid
not at this time even consider any of these
petitions and application?. It is presumed and
expected by the War Department that the
ptesent .Congress will greatly change and
modify exi-ting laws in reference lo all these
questions, and until ihat is done,none oft ! e*e
petitions and applications will be either con
sideroJ, acted upon or granted.
Very respectfully,

“Pdnishmj|nt Fire.*'— The New York
.Daily News, uider ibis head, editoriaiißas on
the horning of houses on ti e Mississippi river
to punish the people for the firing on steamers
by guerrillas, and closes by sayi .g:
6 ?oh wor*e than vandal acts neither deter the
go* ts lias, nor do they sireugthen the a tsch
«o*. to the government. These roving hands
have,no property on the river to lose ; and every
house fired by Federal soldiers swells their ranks
with bold and desperate men, filled with revenge
against those who have burned their homes and
turned Ihcir wives and little ones on the cod
charity of the world, without a roof to cover
them.
If this war is to continue—if brother is to still
meet brother, and father meet son in deadlv
eirlle, and *n blood and carriage, with their atten
dant train of horrors, in Heaven’s name let us
be spared the recital of auy more of this Indian
mode of wariare r -against .women and children,
forced to leave their burning dwellings and tiieir
path lighted by a midnight conflagration of their
own homes. Such warfare is beneath that of at
civilized nation—is fitter for fiends than for men.
Toe Mississippi, from Cairo down, is now al
most a desert waste. Fire and sword have done
their wot’:. Those who took an active part in
the rebellion leit for the interior, and it was
oniy those who.slid had cocfidonce in Presi*
deut Lincoln’- first message and ihe declaration

Mr. and Mrs. Davis. — Fne following, and ited
Dsc. 10th, is from the Richmond correspond
ont ot the Mrndon Ilorald :
The public papers of this city Renounced a
few days previously, that the President would
be clad to receive visits from his friends be
tween 12 and 2 o'clock on N-)w Yeat’a day.
Having gone to the Executive Mansion wiih the
family of my old friend, Hoa. Mr. H»nry, a dis
tinguished Senator from Tennessee, I fennd on
ray arrival, the steps and balls of that building
crowded with lair women and brave tm n. 'lne
President stood in an elegant room with Mrs.
Davis on his left. Ilia Excellency—lor the oc
casion was oco of state —was dressed in a Buit
of black : and while appearing in good health,
looked rather more than usual.
Soldiers and civilians, males and females, his
visitors, having exchanged with him wishes of
happiness lor the t n»uing year, passe-i on thei
way to the hall-door, or if they happened to
know the officers of the sraffor soma visitois who
were so fortunate, mads a circuit for presentation
to Mrs. Davis. That lady is by no means an
ordinary woman. Her s;y!e is very much that
of the period of George the Third—reminding
one indeed of the pictures of the wives of the
great State officers o: the govcnnent of George
Washington. She is a stately woman, with bru
nette complexion, and eyes full of brilliance, ten*
derness, and intelligence. Her manners are very
agreeable;-but touched with a repose that c7en
though carried to almost sadness, savors very'
much of the grand. She and the President npd
pea rod to be m good spirits, aud were regarded
by their troops ol" vistors with a warmth an
hcartiuess ibat were maintained in pertcoi har
mouy with an air of profound respect.
Uen Morgan's Reception. ~
The arrival of General Morgan was greet
ed this moating by a general Gutpouring of
the people to meet him. Ha was received
by a handsome and appropriate speech
from Mayor Calhoun at the "i'lent House,
to which he brief!v responded, acknowledge
ing his appreciation and thanks for (his
popular demonstration and public mark ol
respect.
He was followed by thrilling and soul
stirring speeches from Coionets Breckin
ridge and Alston, who electrified the im
menfce crowd of listeners by their slit nog
and eloquent appeals. Altogether, the re
ception ceremonies were peculiarly appro
priate, and have awakened in bosoms
of all those who witnessed it renewed emo
tions of ardor that will not eium*
ber until our independence is nchieved.
[Atlanu Appeal, s;h.
The Only Way to Peace.
Irt a late editorial, under the heading of
* Madmen and Fools,” wo concluded what
we then had to say, by remarking that peace
with the North was impossible until our en
emies became satisfied I hat it could not be
hoped for by anything they could do, ex
cept on the concession of our right to inde«
pendeoce. Subsequent reflection has only
more fully satisfied us that this conclusion
was right. We believed that when we
wrote that article,and are firmly pursuaded
now, that the North cannot too soon realize
the same truth. The idea of our helping
to build up a party at the North, in opposi
tion even to the bldck Republicans, aud
through that new party making or listening
to terms of conciliation shert of our abso
lute independence of the North, is prepos
terous. But the folly is not the less trans
parent of our having anything to do with
Northern politics at ail, in the way ol peace
propositions, peace overtures, or peace sug«
gestions. The North must tight its own
battles. It has begun and it has carried on
a fierce and brutal war, and on it must rest
the task of ending it. Not that we would
not see, as we expect to see, tha North
torn by intestine leuu?, and utterly demor
alized, in the Presidential election of the
coming autumn. That we look for, that
we hope lor, tnat we expect.
To a certain exteat, our own repose may
rest upon such a consummation. But this
is not the point. Suppose, with the aid of
Southern mpathy, or whatever else it may
be called, anew party could be raised up
at the North, utterly overthrowing the Lin
coln administration, what good would that
do us if we are to light over again with the
Brookses and the Woods the question of
subjugation or recons!ruetion '! Not a
whit; on the contrary, much harm. We
should be, like fox, only driving
away one swarm of flies ior fresh and more
hungry blood suckers. This fact seems so
plain, this conclusion so inevitable, that we
need not stop to argue the proposition.
How, then, can Southern men, can any
Southern man tampei with a subject fraught
with evil and evil only? We bnust let the
North alone to its own measures and its own
fate, except so iar as we cam hasten their
ruin by all the means of war at our com
mand, A lair fight and an open field, with
tt.e aid of Heaven’s blessing, is aii we ask;
aud he that looks for honorable peace on
any other terms, is a craven or a dotard.
'i he. remarks have been induced some
wlifii by our recent observation ot certain
Mgtis which look as though there were some
—very le w we trust—who thinlf. and speak
ol some vague, undefined way of operating
upon ihe sense of the North, by expressions
of our sympathy with the political oppo**
neats ol Lincoln, either bv means of IState
intervention, or peace propositions from
Richmond. Both are alike wild and vis
ionary. Just let it be known to the North
that there is such a party at the South,
and to that f xient we weaken ourselves
anti our hopes oi resistance. We hope and
oelieve better ol the South. We believe
there is r ot oniy no sympathy in our midst,
biu that it there weie, it would instantly be
tro t ned out of existence by the very spirit
Os our people—aye, that our very women
would iiißß at ami scorn the dastards. We
use strong iangubge, but we mean what we
say. There may be some quaking patriots
who believe something ought to be done
besides fighting. Let all such take counsel
of their tears, ami conclude that it is better
to fight out the fight manfully, than by any
indirection lead tite enemy to suppose we
mean anything short ot uni recognition and
ahaolure independence.
Everything looks /avorable. Our soldiers
are re*euiisting ior the war, our generals
are hopeful and confident; Congress is in
earnest; arid, except perhaps a croaker
here and there, the country ia united in the
smuggle which must end in the utier, en
tire and final separation from the accursed
North —[Savannah News.

The la'esfc report from betow last night, rep
resented that the Yankee force which appeared
at Bottom's bridge had fallen back nine miles
to Tallysville where they were reinforced by
several additionarregiments of infantry and cav«
airy. The situation was unchanged this morn
ing, but another demonstration by the enemy is
expected to-day. Lieut. Gen. Hood has com*
mandof the Goa {(derate forces on the line of

Frozen Ducks.— A Louicville paper,
saye: “The other day, Jimmy Feerry, Ex
press Messenger, took to Indianapolis over
one hundred ducks which had been captur
ed on a lake or pond near Vincinees in a
way that proved almost as conclusively as
the thermometer did the intense cold then
prevailing. As the pond froze more and
more nearly over, the ducks would come
out on the ice, where the snow, falling and
melting on their backs and sides, would
speedily freeze hard and thus fasten their
wings so completely that they could not
fly, lu this condition they could only run
slowly and helplessly about on the ice, and
the boys finding it out, 'went in' and knock
ed them over with sticks by scores. In
this way a splendid lot of “game” was bag
ged without a shot, or any serious bruises
to the meat.”
Arrival of Gen. Morgan in Augusta—
His Reception. —Gen. John H. Morgan,
the Kentucky hero, the noted chieftain and
valiant soldier, arrived in this city by the
South Carolina tram yesterday afternoon
about half past four o’clock. He was ac
companied by his lady, and by Lt. Col.
Alston, Chief of Staff. Col. Breckinridge,
Maj. E. Byrne, Chief of Artillery, and per
haps others whose names we did not learn.
There was a very large concourse of our
citizens, among them many ladies, at the
depot to witness the arrival.
Gen. Morgan was received by His Honor
Mayor May and members ot Council, Gen.
G. W. Evans, and other citizens who wait
ed on the General and his lady to the car
riage iu waiting for them. They proceeded
directly to the Southern States Hotel,
where the Mayor perfotmed the ceremony
of introduction to the people, from the bal
cony of the hotel.
Gen. Morgan returned his thanks for the
very cordial reception he had received, in
forming his hearers that he was no public
speaker, but he hoped to be able to give
better satisfaction in the field than on the
stump. After again thanking the people,
he retired amid thunders of applause. He
is looking remarkably well and seems in
excellent spirits.—[Chron. & Sentinel, 4th.
Tits Mutiny at Fort Jackson
A court martial is investigating the affair
of the negro mutiny at Fort Jackson below
New Orleans, The New York Times gives
the following account of the occurreoce:
On the 9th of this present month, ten of
the men were observed by Lieut Col. Ben
edict, coming in from beyond the guard
lines. He asked them by what authority
they did so, and they replied that permit
sion had been given them by the sergeant
of the guard. This proved to be a false
hood, and the lieutenant colonel, in a fit of
anger, seized the teamster’s whip, and
gave each of them “a half dozen well laid
on.” This was between three and four
o’clock. The drum major took up the quar
rel, and spread disaffection among the men
and by eight o’clock, he had about one hun
dred men ripe for revolt. The first that
the officers knew ol the mutiny was hearing
the drum major order ihe men to ‘’Fall in
and load their guns.” Then began a scene
of wild uproar and confusion. Guns were
rapidly discharged, most of them in the air,
although some shots passed through the
officers’ quarters, and Lieut Col Benedict’s
tent was burned. The steamer Suffolk,
lying at the wharf, was searched and fired
into by the mutineers, who hoped to kill'
Lieut Col Benedict. How he made his es
cape I know not, but he did succeed in get
ting to New Orleans. About half the rioters
soon unloaded their pieces and went to their
quarters, but for one whole night the camp
was in possession of the insurgents.
The next day moral power prevailed over
brute force; the rioters returned to their
duty, and the ringleaders were arrested. I
know of few instances of moral courage
greater than that displayed fay the officers
in arresting thirteen of the insurgents and
confining them to the custody of their com
panions. When we remember the educa
tion of these men, on plantations, where
the informer is eternally disgraced among
his fellows, and where each aids the other
in all his efforts to escape, we must award
no little praise to these officers tor their
confidence in the discip’ine of their tro >ps —
a confidence which was not misplaced.
There can be but little doubt that the
principal offenders will be sentenced and
promptly executed. Os course such an ex
ecation, done by their own fellow?, will
convey a terrible lesson to tlie whole Corps
tie Aftique.
I am afraid that some of the blame of this
riot ties at the door of Adjutant Gen.
Thomas, who, by a well-meaning, but in
discreet speech, gave the negroes very ex
alted ideas ol their position, and no doubt,
indirectly helped to provoke this trouble.
I am also afraid that Col. Drew, command
ing, hss teen lax in discipline, while Lseut.
Coi. Benedict haS undoubtedly been unduly
severe. Col. Benedict is being tried by the
same court martial that is judging the ne
groes. An Ohio regiment has,, been en
camped near the fort, to provide against
any contingencies.
The execution will probably take place
wiihin fifteen days, and the unhappy duty
dona by men from their own regiments as
