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, PORTER INGRAM. A Worthy Example. —The Sandersvilla Georgian publishes a list of fifty.six planters of ■Washington county, who have pledged them selves to sell corn at ttro dollars per bushel to the wives and children of indigent soldiers in the service,and the widows and children of in digent solders who have died or been kilkd iu ihe service, or any disable soldier. “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 of Congtess, in the passage by an almoa* unani mous vole of the Crittenden resolution, that re mained, and they have since realized that abo* iitiou promises are, as if written upon water— made but to t» broken. 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.

TELEGRAPHIC. REPORTS OF THE PRESS ASSOCIATION. Entered according to act of Congress is the year 1863. by J. 8. Thrasher, in the Clerk’s office of the District Court of ths Cotrfederatt States for the Northern District Os Georgia. Orange C. H., Feb. 7th. The enemy crossed in large force on Saturday at Morton’s Ford, bat after a sharp contest were repulsed by Geo. Sward Johnston’s Division and driven aecrots the river and pareacd; our troops returned this morning. This morning they at> tempted to cross at Barnet's Eord, but were re pulsed by Gen. Scales, of a North Carolina Brigade and Gen. Comax’s cavalry brigade. Casualties slight. The enemy have returned. Richmond, 8 th. 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 Chickahominy. 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 the law For Three Months, 38 LIETTT.
