1IAG0N TELEGRAPH.
WEDNESDAY .MORNING, MAY 6, 1868.
w^jTTfao Rev. Mr. Bennett, of Virginia,
General Agent of the Soldiers’ Tract Associa
tion, has been in our city for a few days past,
and will bo glad to receive donations from our
citizens, In town or country, to aid m the work
of supplying our armies with religious read

MACON- AND BRUNSWICK RAILROAD.
We understand,- at a called meeting of the
Stockholders of .tbo Macon and Brunswick
Railroad yesterday, the amendment to the
Charter granting Banking privileges to tbo
Company was accepted and Col. J. ,H. R.
Washington and Stephen Collins, Esq., were
elected directors. ,
We tauo occasion to call the .attention of
people who aro so anxiously seeking invest
ments to the* stock of this* Company. It is
true, this stock is now rapidly appreciating
and is very little under par, but we are of opin
ion that considered in connection with the un
doubted security it oilers-and the certainty of
a profitable return on a par.valuation at no
distant day, it is the best property now in mar
ket. Look at*it a-moment: On an indebted
ness of £800,000 in eight per cent, bonds and
about £800,000 in capital stock, this Road
shows tinny-seven miles in very profitable op
eration—one hundred miles graded—and the
entire remainder of 175 miles lino under the
most responsible contractors who tako seventy
cents in.the dollar in stock—its arrangements
for iron all complete (the funds provided) and
to be consummated as soon as the blockado is
HftAH Cft tlral /i iy
after ,th6 war is-over. In addition to this tho
Company have liberal basking franchises sim-
* Oar to those of the Central Railroad, which with
the return of peace and tho reopening of trade,
will no doubt be valuable. The road once
open, nobody'doubts its future. We see no
reason why it should not be as good stock as
that of aimost any r*ilreacl"in the State. Why,
then,;should it not be in getive request?
FROM THE RAPPAHANNOCK.
Our first edition is apparently going to press
without an additional word from the great
victory upoa the Rappahannock. We know
not what has been done,- but aro content with
. the assurance given by Gen. Leo, in his .official
dispatch, that it is a great victory. He is no
boaster and does not usa -words carelessly.—
£ Hence we take encouragement when we read
that Gen. Jackson was “severely" wounded.
Weasaume that the burt,Though serioiis, is not
dangerous, and.fhe Confederacy will not sus
tain die fearful loss of this heroic an,d saga-
* cions chieftain-; But still we are anxious and
would like {(0 know tho character and extent
*. tof his wounds. ’ • .
We are^in hope that tho late batde of Fred-
ricksburg will be found to have been even more
■ decisive in its character than tho other, and
think it probable that tho enemy -will ho al-
. lowed. IRtle time to rest from their fatigues on
. - the Other side of Rappahannock.
Among the private reports of casualties
which come to hand we aro pained to hear that
Col. Slaughter, of Albany, has been killed
gallant man and. one of the most "promising
lawyers in the Slate. We hhar that the 18th
Regiment has sot re red severely—a list of casu
alties went through to the Atlanta papers.

THE ROME RAID.
We are not certain whether the alleged
Yankee raid in the direction of Rome, Georgia,
was in truth a raid, or the helter skelter flight
Of a party who were cut off from their main
body by Forrest, in the fight stated to be in
the neighborhood of Moulton, Alabama. We
notice the Atlanta Confederacy takes the first
view of it, and the Intelligencer the second.—
We are inclined to side with the Intelligencer.
The statement of the telegrams that they were
infantry we think must be a mistake. Most
probably they were cavalry, making tracks as
fast as they could from the avenger of blood
just behind them in the shape of -Forrest and
his command. The Confederacy of yesterday
says: , *
We are as yet without any definite particu
lars as to what mischief the Yankees did in
their late raid in North Alabama and North
east Georgia, or tho circumstances of Forrest s
chase and captnre of them. A glance at the
map, however, is enough to show that it is
one of the most extraordinary feats of the war
—-just such as but few men could nave ac
complished.
It was on the 80th day of April that he
fought and defeated the vandals at Courtland,
on the M. k C. R. R., in Lawrence county,
Ala. From this point to Rome we should
judge to be no less than 150 miles; and from
Courtland to Gaylesville, where Forrest over
took and fought them, not les than 115 or 120
miles. He then traveled this distance in but
little over two days. He overtook, fought,
whipped and captured them in the early part
ot the third day. Who, daring this war, has
displayed equal energy ? It has been equaled
by nono, unless it was by Morgan in his great
Kentucky raid last summer.
This fight at Gaylesville we hear was ' a severe
one—though at this writing we have no authentic
particulars. The defeated enemy fled towards Rome
—their speed being somewhat accelerated. It la
reported that the advance guard on coming near
Rome, by some means obtained the impression that
there was a strong force at the place, and turned
back to the main body of the Yankees, which they
soon met, flying from Forrest’s eager pursuers.—
Their reports of the force at Rome, caused the
whole to turn back again and endeavor to elude the
eager pursuit of Forrest and his men, but all to no
purpose. They met square in the face at every
avenue by which they sought to escape, and sur
rendered.
A correspondent of the same paper says
they burnt.Nobles’ Iron Works, twenty miles
below Rome, and in a postcript to its editorial
on the subject the same paper says:
The 10 o'clock train, this merning, brought
the news of the burning of Round Mountain
Iron Works, near-Centre, Cherokee county,
Ala., and that a portion of the Yankee cavalry
had been firing across the river into Rome, but
retired on being replied to.
We doubt if either of these statements will
prove correct We think the Yanks
simply fugitives more bent- upon flight than
mischief. At all events their career was soon
closed and their flight or their raid, call
which you will, concluded. Viewed in either
aspect it was a failure.
Since the foregoing,the telegram from Tulla
homa shows that tho captured Yanks were
mounted infantry. Reports came down the
rack nas been mado on Rome by 5,000 Fed
erate and Forrest 13 captured—all bosh, as we
suppose. .
THE EXEMPTION ACT.
The following is a copy of the act amenda
tory of the “Exemption Act” of last session, as
passed by Congress yestorday:
. AN ACT
To repeal certain clauses of an act entitled “an
act to exempt certain persons from military
service, etc., approved 11th October, 1862:
1. The Congress of the Confederate States
of America do enact, That so much of the act
approved October 11th, 1862, as exempts from
military service “one person, either as agent,
owner, or overseer, on etch plantation on
which one white person is required to be kept
by the laws or ordinances of any State, and on
which there is no white male adult not liable
to military servico, and in States having no
such law, one person, as agent, owner, or over
seer, on each plantation of twenty negroes, and
on whjch there is no white male adult not li

the President shall bo satisfied ought to be ex

Legislature, unless such Legislature shall by
law exempt them from military duty in tho
Provisional Army of the Confederate States. J

NAVAL MOVEMENTS OF ENGLAND
"fro make an extract from the London cor
respondence (March 28) of the New York Her
ald :
I have heard from a private source, which
consider perfectly reliable, that Her Majesty 1 ..
Government has ordered a large portion of the
IV est India and North American squadrons
some one point of rendezvous en the coast _
the United States, and that probably direct
orders have been sent out to Admiral Milne to
capture the vessel that Commodore Wilkes
(the Vanderbilt) has, and bring the ship, com
mander and all hands into an English port —
The special ground now is the capture of the
Peterhoffi You are probably aware that this
Government has had a most vindictivo feeling
towards Commodore Wilkes ever Bince "the
Trent affair. Then, too, he (Captain Wilkes)
discovered an Antarctic continent that Sir John
Ros3 failed to discover. So there is an old
grudge. The English appear to think It very
unfriendly, if not a hostile act, on the part of
the United States in giving Wilkes a command
Within a thousand miles of the West Indies.
Another cause of irritation now is tho law
mUmming-teltara of uioiquu *r.d reprisal, tohw
which the English think is aimed direcMyTt
them. This Government will unquestionably
sail as near the war point as it is possible to do
id these troubleshot are now lowering so
gloomily over us. V
Two of the new war vessels built for the
OoD.ederates, I have positive information from
aa undoubted source, sailed last week on their
voyage to Dix>e. A gentleman connected with
the Admirably told me that the Government
knew-that such was the fact. Two more
understand, are to sail next week.

hatred with hatred. Would you hear a sweet

OUR CAVALRY IN TENNESSEE.
The correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser

particulars regarding our cavaliry under John

Gen. Forrest has been again assigned to
independent brigade, and he will now no long
er report to Van Dorn. This is right • and
now release Morgan from Wheeler’s authority
ar.d all will be well, and bickerings between
our cavalry leaders and their friends will cease
and,the old dash of Forrest and the wily skill
of John Morgan will brighten the hopes of
partisan exploits.
In Gen. Van Dorn’s corps, the cavalry armed
with sabres and pistols have been brigaded and

all put regularly to their work.
2. After rising, I shall not idle about, but go di

that the negroes are at their work—that the horses

Gen. Robert Toombs reached our city last
nigbt on his way to Southwestern Georgia.—
He is looking quite feeble, but wo are pleased
to learn that he is rapidly recovering from his
late severe illness.
Hon. David W. Lewis, Representative from
this district in the Confederate Congress, reach
ed our city yesterday evening, on hi» way
home. He has devoted himself with zeal and
ability to tbo discharge of his official duties,
and - we welcome him back to friends and fam
ily. Wo renew our thanks for his prompt and
continued courtesies, in supplying us with pub
lic documents.
Hon. II. V. Johnson.—This distinguished
gentleman is announced to speak at Masonic

are needed to insure him a large auditory; es

ANOTHER GREAT VICTORY—STONE-
WALL JACKSON SEVERELY WOUNDED.
The sound of the bugle of war again comes
up from the banks of the Rappahannock, and
again are the Confederate arms crowned with
the laurels of victory. It is difficult to tell
from Gen. Lee’s despatches the real magnitude
of his triumph, but the word3 “ a great victo
ry,” when spoken by him, are sufficient to in»
dicate that a bloody battle has beon fought and
gloriously won. From tho positions as laid
down in tho despatch, the movements of our
army must have been directed with consum
mate skill and energy. With Longstreet’s
army in his front, and Jackson pressing upon
his rear, Hooker was completely circumvented
and reduced to a condition of desperation. To
fight under such circumstances became a mat
ter of imperative necessity, and extraordinary
exertion alone could have redeemed the entire
Federal army from utter destruction.
The enemy are reported as retreating across
tho Rappahannock, and as the despatch says
the battle was to have been renewed yesterday,
it is a reasonable inference that Lee intended
to pursue them with vigor. We hope he will
do so, and not stop this side the gates of Wash
ington. •
Wo also infer that Hooker crossed his entire
army, and that the engagement was a general
one. It appears that Hooker was really rash
and vain enough to undertake what had pre
viously failed in much abler hands—a march
to Richmond. Their fate has been his, and
we supposo from tho past that the crazy Yan
kee nation will repeat the folly as long as they
shall bo able t<T find a General who i3 fool
oneugh to offer himself as a victim.
Whilst this renewed triumph of our arms in
vests the brow of our great Captain with a
fresh halo, and sheds an additional lustre on
■the name of the Confederate soldier, it was won
with a price which will carry regret to every
heart. The death of tho gallant Paxton is to
bo lamented, whilst the intelligence that the
invinciblo Stonewall Jackson has been serious
ly wounded will occasion even a greater pang,
ior no man has a deeper hold on the confidence
and affections of the Southern people. Every
heart is agonized least his injuries may prove
fatal, and one universal prayor will ascend that
his precious fife may bo sparod to the country.
The death of Jackson would be a serious blow
to the cause, and spread mourning throughout
the land. With painful apprehensions all will
await the result—Sav. Rep.

LATER FROM FORREST.
Tullahoma, May 5.—An official dispatch
states that Gen. Forrest, after five days’ hard
marching, without pro virions or forage, cap
tured on the third, tho er emy sixteen hundred
strong, near Rome, Ga., with the same num
her of Enfield rifles, hon.es and small arms.

Jackson, May 5.—The enemy were repulsed
yesterday at Aukersom Ferry, on Big Black
River, after four hours xovero fighting.
The enemy are reported in force near Ed
ward’s depot, four uiUos this side of Big Black
River. They captured one hundred of our

FROM FREDERICKSBURG.
THE VICTOR Y COMPLETE.
Richmond, May 5.—No official despatch was
received last night or this morning from Gen.
Lee’s headquarters, but private telegrams rep
resent our victory as complete.
Gen. Jackson’s left am was skillfully ampu
tated below the shoulder by Dr. McGuire, of
Winchester. The Goireral was removed to a
country house about fifteen miles distant Irom
the battle field, and i; doing well.
Direct Railroad communication with our
army has not yet been re-established.
Tho guide of tho niders was captured yes
terday at Tunstall’e Station on York River
Railroad, where a skirmish occurred between
the Yankees and a few Confederate infantry.
Richmond, May 5.—Tho following was re
ceived this evening from Guiness Station, da-
ted near Fredericksburg, May 5:
His Excellency, President Davis: At the
close of tho battle of Chancellorville Sunday
evening, it was reported tfiat the enemy wero
advancing from Fra erickaburg in our rear.-
Gen. McLaws was sunt back to arrest his pro
gress, and repulsed him handsomely. That
afternoon, learning ’hat his force consisted of
two corps under Gen. Sedgewick, I determined
to attack him, and marched back yesterday
with Gen. Anderson and united with McLaws.
Early in the aftern-.ion we succeeded, by the
blessing of Heaven, in drivtng Gen. Sedwick
over the river.
We have reoccupied Fredericksburg, and

THE NEWS FROM FREDERICKSBURG.
The whole country will bo electrified with

army. “We have again to thank Almighty
God for a great victory.” Thus dispatches tho
victorious General to President Davis, and it

The Lowest Depth op Obscenity.—In the
course of one’s life, much that is obscene and
offensive is heard and read, l.ut tho lowest
depth of obscenity by which the English lan
guage has probably ever been defiled, has been
brought to light in Yankee letters taken from
the battle field. These letters too, it must be
stated, are for tho most part written by females
claiming to bo the wives and sweethearts of the
men to whom they were written. A gentle
man in this city has recently been placed in
possession of several letters penned by North
ern females, whose language and sentiments
are so loathsome, so utterly degraded, that it
is strange the hands that wrote them were not
stricken powerless in the act. If publication
were given them", no person in the South would
