Columbus Boys in the Fight near Laks
City.
A private dispach irom Lake City was re
ceived here this morning bringing the iiuelli*
gence that Capt. J. K. lledd and Lieut. Thos.
Beasley were slightly wounded in the recent bat
tle in Florida, and that Lieuis. Thus. Park and
Roliu A. Russell, and Sergt. Ilatitp Stewart were
unhurt. A complete list of the casualties in the
64th Ga., will bo published by us as soon as re
ceived. -This regiment contains two companies
from this city and we learn that it fought with
great gallantry and suffered severely.
A number of the members of the Company
below named requests us to publish the follow*
ing and our columns are ever open to anything
laudable to gratify the soldier:
BEAULIEU BATTERY, )

GENERAL ORDERS, No. 8.
1. Without inquiring as to the usage upon
such occasions, the Captain commanding, oannot
permit the opportunity to pass without tender
ing to the officers and men of Company H, 54th
regiment of Georgia volunteers, his hearty thanks
for their uniform good conduct and the prompt
and cheerful performance of their arduous du
ties, during the entire period they have composed
a part of his command. It is usual, Unfortunate
ly, where troops of! ditierent.arius of the service
are quartered contiguously, that unpleasant dif
ferences arrise, whijeh being encouraged, rather
than checked, by the indifferences or petty jeal
ousios of officers, not unlrequently
grow into serious breeches of 4 fraternity, and re
salt highly injuriously to tbe public service.—
Bat how different has been the association and
intercourse of [Cap . C. R. company
and bis own. For a period us seven months the
two Companies have uncomplainingly and with
out the slightest misunderstanding; or disagree*
ment between officers or race, divided the re
sponsibilities and duties incident to their impor
tant out post, and so far as com
manding is aware, they part this day with sor
rowing hearts as ‘'‘brothers!” May the officers
and men of each company long cherish the fepl

The Currency, military, and Tax Bills.
The injunction ol secrecy having been re
moved on last evening from these important
Bill?, we set aside all other aidtter to lay them
btfore the reader.
They are the most vigorous acts of legisla
tion ever attempted on this continent, and will
prove as equal in their operation as circumstances
would, perhaps, admit. Wo think they will at
least be sure to fulfill the chief objects,—the re
duction of the currency aud the support of the
army. Much may be pardoned if these things
are done. These laws will, ot course, fail to
give universal satisfaction ; bat that could only
oe attained by acts which would fill the army
without putting any man in the ranks and turn
paper into silver dollars without diminishing
their number. Unfortunately this is impossible ;
and we are inclined to think that Congress has
done the best that could be expected in the
present situation. —[Richmond Examiner.

A private letter to the Editor, of the Macon

“Tbe Yankees this morniag Sanded a force on

stating that the enemy bad been repulsed. This
is all the news Irom the coast.
“We have as yet noth ng further from

« Latest from Whltmarsli.
After our evening edition went to pres**,
we heard the following particulars in reia«
tion to the landing of the Yankees on
Whitmarsh island. Earl' on Monday
morning the Yankees landed a force of
from three to tour hundred on ihe island
from a number of barges. A force of about
one hundred and fifty men from the 85th
Pennsylvania, under the command oi First
Lieut Alichener, immediately advanced and
drove in our pickets. So rapid were their
movements, that they succeeded in cutting
off about one hundred and fifty negroes, to
gether with their overseers, who were en«
gaged at work in ihat vicinity. These ne
groes, however, wilh the overseers, suc
ceeded in making their escape and reached
our,lines in safety.
Our troops soon opened.on the enemy,
and repulsed ihent. We captured Lieut
Michener, a corporal, named Shillenbereer
and a private named J. C. Baiiey, of the
85th Pennsylvania regiment. Several of
the enemy were wounded. We lost one
man killed, belonging to Maxwell's light
battery. This' was the only casualty on
the Confederate side. No negroes were
lost. Lieut, Richardson hrought the priso
ners to this city, and they are now confined
in the barracks.
During yesterday afternoon The enemy
were engaged in shelling the island, lor the
purpose, no doubt, of covering the retreat
of their forces.
Latest from Florida. —By passengers who
arrived in this city last evening by' the Gulf
train, we learn that on Sunday there was a se
vere battle near Lake City, in which the enemy
were completely defeated and routed- It is re
ported that the 64tb Georgia lost severely in
officers and men, but no particulars of the casual
ties, other than those reported in yesterday’s
paper, have been received. The enemy, how
ever, were driven to their entrenchments, leav«
ing their dead and wounded on the field.
We understand that Col. Robert H. Anderson,
of the fiih Georgia Cavalry, will command the
cavalry forces in Florida.
Col. George P. Harrison, jr., of the 32d Geor
gia, will command a brigade, consisting of the
32d Georgia, 11th and 18th South Carolina, and
59th Virginia troops.
Gen. Taliaferro left this oity last evening, an i :
will assume command of all the troop? in
Florida. 0
Tbe enemy have advanced a considerable
force of cavalry and infantry, between Trader's
Hill and the Satilla river.
Their gunboats and several transports are in
SL Mary'a river,* near Kiags’s Ferry, about 11
miles from Jeffarsonton. There is a large quan

• The Currency Bill.—A member of Con
gress informs us that the following were
some oi the figures and estimates at Rich*
mond:
Amount of currency out in millions, 800
Os which there is in 100s, 230
Interest bearing Treasury notes
funded by the act, 102
Estimate of notes lost and destroyed, 60
Thirty-Three per cent, tax on re
mainder, . 136-627
Currency after Ist April, 273
This i« to say, 273 millions, reckoning at
on the dollar. .The fax act, it was
thought, would produce 350 millions, an
exee&soflll ui ilium a over ihe amount of
100s afloat.
Upon thin statement it will be evident
that money is going to be comparatively
very tight. In a short time it must be
worth double what it is now—or, in other
words, prices must tumble. The policy of
everybody therefore, is to sell now while
prices are high, there’ll be profitable uso
for every dollar.—[Macon Telegraph.
‘‘ The Spvtng Cauipalgn."
The following paragraph, lrom a New York
paper, shows that the Yankees expeot warm
work in she spring :
The rev. ia -win not give up without another
anti a harder struggle. There aro plans to be
thwarted, new combinations to be met, hard
battles £o be iougfat bolero sve reach the end.
They have at least, two hundred thousand men
in th s lieid, and ihe forced conscription of every
aria bearing man, which they are.now rashlessiy
carrying o »t, will swell the-.e ranks before the
winter is over into a formidable mass. If we
have tour hundred thousand Jet us remember
that wo stand towards them in the attitude of
besieger*, occupying an exterior line still, and
that wc should have, all o' her things being equal,
a much larger force than theirs. To this end the
cry of every General in high command is, men !
Le; our present force be doubled, and let us
work in t nesß preoious months of winter to preo
paro an overwhelming advance in the spring, or
earlier if need be.
Sob jtute Men Can’t Broome Contractors.
Tac Lynchburg Virginian says :
We understand that ihe Secretary of War
has deuid and that the substitute men, as they are
called, .. ho aro liable to service in virtue of the
repca l o’ substitute law, shall, in no case, be al
lowed to evade service through the contract sys-i
tern. No contracts will ba entered into with
them. They aro to be soldiers and nothing else,
1 unless specially detailed for some special duty.
With all our objections to the repeal of the sub
stitute law, we think that this decision is wise
and just. It will, by patting all of this case
on an equiil footing, allay much of the discon
tent and heart burning that would otherwise
have existed. Men who, through adventitious
eircatn: lances, by the use of money, would have
had u decided advantage over poor men who
had not the means to enable them to do so, or
n ho would bo ua willing to engage in such tricks
10 evade thb operation of the law.
Since the repeal of the substitute law the
most monstrous and bare-faced efforts of this
kind have come to our knowledge. Improvis
ed contracts of every kind, entered into fre
quently with subalterns of the Government scat
tered all over the country, would have kept more
than half me moneyed men now liable to ser*
vice out of tlje h-.ui.ds of the enrolling officers.
It is well, therefore, that a rule has been es
tablished that will preclude the possibility of
discrimination that would not only be UDju&t
hut odious to the people

Another of Lincoln’s Jokes.— A North

Lincoln's “funniest jokes .”
A young lady applied to a physician for
specific for a bad breath. “Let me smell
it,” said the Esculapius. She breathed tfn
him. “Ah, Miss,” said he, “you must
chew assafeetida.”
‘O, dear me ?” exclaimed Henrietta,
throwing herself into the rocking chair, “I’ll
never go the post office again, to be ooked
out ot countenance by all the men on the
corner. It’s so provoking! What can I
do, Sarah Jaiie, to stop those awful men
staring me la the face ?”. “Do as I do,” re
plied Sarah Jane, with a sly look—“show
