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 ing.

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 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 able to military service,” and also the following clause of said act, to wit: “and, furthermore, lor additional police for every twenty Degrees, on two or more plantations, within fivo miles of each other, and each having less than twenty negroes, and on which there is no white male adult not liable to military duty, one person, being the oldest of the owners or overseers on such plantations,” be and are hereby repealed. 2. For the police and management of slaves there shall be exempted one person on each farm or plantation, the sole property of a mi nor, a person of unsound mind, a feme sole, or a person absent from home in the military or naval service of the Confederacy, on which there are twenty or more slaves ; provided, the person so exempted was. employed and acting as an overseer previous to the 16th April, 1862, and thoro is no white male adult otf said farm or plantation who is not liable to military duty, which fact shall be verified by the affidavits of said person and two respectable citizens, and shall be filed with the enrolling officer; and, provided, the owner of such farm or plantation, bis agent or legal rcprosentative,shall make affl • davit and deliver the same to tho enrolling officer that after diligent elt’ort no overseer can Be pro cured for such farm or plantation not liable to military duty; provided further, that this clause shall not extend to any farm or planta tion on which tho negroes have boen placed by division from any other farm or plantation, since the 11th day of October, 1802; provided further, that for every person exempted as aforesaid, and during the period .of such ex emption, there shall be paid annually into the public treasury by tho owners of such slaves, the sum of five hundred dollars, 8. Such other persons shall be exempted as the President shall bo satisfied ought to be ex empted,in districts of country deprived of white or slave labor indispensable to tho production of grain or provisions, necessary for the sup port of the population remaining at home, and also, on account of justice, equity; and necessity. - 4. In addition to tho Stale officers exempted by the act of October 11th, 1862, there shall, also, bo exempted all Statu officers whom the were Governor of any State may claim to have ex empted for the due administration of .the Gov ernment and laws thereof; but this exemption shall not continue in any Stale after the ad journment of the next regular session of its Legislature, unless such Legislature shall by law exempt them from military duty in tho Provisional Army of the Confederate States.

Wo call especial attention to tho adver tisement in another column, of the opening ' Bath Houses” at Spring GardeD. the 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. —” H you love others they will love you. If you speatc kindly to them, they will speak kindly to you. Love is repaid withlovo, and hatred with hatred. Would you hear a sweet and pleasing echo, speak sweetly and pleasant ly yourself. OUR CAVALRY IN TENNESSEE. The correspondent of the Mobile Advertiser & Register, gives the following interesting particulars regarding our cavaliry under John sum: 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 placed uuder Gen. Frank C. Armstrong, who can handle them if any one can.

Before going to bed, I will think over what I have to do the next day, and note it upon my slate, in order that it may be recollected ou the morrow. 2. I ahall rise early, and never let the negroes catch me in bed of a morning, but see that they are all put regularly to their work. 2. After rising, I shall not idle about, but go di rectly to the business of my employer. I shall see that the negroes are at their work—that the horses have been fed, the cattle attended to, Ac.' If any of the negroes have been reported as aiek, 1 shall without amoment’s delay, see what ails them, and if they he really sick, 1 shall at :once see that proper medicine and attendance are given- 4. Wherever the negro 68 are working, I* shall consider it to he my duty to be frequently with them in order that 1 might see how they get aloDg. 1 shall not content myselt with doing this once a day; but X shall do so repeatedly, observing every tftne what they are doing; and how they do it. X shall never permit them to do anything wrong,"if It take them tno whole day to do it right. 5. Negroes.—1 shall see that the negroes are reg' ularly fed, and that they keep themselves clean— once a week, at least, 1 shall go into each of their houses, and see that they have been swept out and cleaned. I shall examine their blankets, etc., and see that they have been well aired—that their clothes have been mended—and everything has been at- tented to, which conduces to their.comfort and hap piness. 6. Horses.—I Ehall consider it my business to see that tho horses are properly fed and rubbed, that their atables are well littered. When harnessed and at work, I shall see that their harness tits, and does not. mill them, recollecting that theso animals, though dumb, can feel as well as myself. . . *7. CattYe.—I shall daily see that tho cattle have been penned, and have goodlitter to lie upon; that they have good water to drink ; and that their pas ture is good. It they should happen not to have good pasture, 1 shall at once see how I oan procure it for them. I 3hali let the “cattle minder 1 ’ know that he is watched and held responsible for these things. 8. Milch Cows.—I shall contrive to procure these the best pastures—if possible. I shall feed them night and morning, ana ab*U »o manage it, as always *“ otMog for them to eat when penned. < VrKPDt .Vn T nL.ii V * Gen.

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. BELOW 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. FROM JAOKSON. 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 pickets. . * 4 .,f ’ . ' 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 no enemy remains South of tho Rappahan nock or its vicinity. ri : ~: M (Signed,) ' K E. Lek, General Commanding. THE NEWS FROM FREDERICKSBURG. The whole country will bo electrified with joy at the goocl news from Gen. Lee’s noble army. “We have again to thank Almighty God for a great victory.” Thus dispatches tho victorious General to President Davis, and it is well known that Gen. Lee nevor indulges in bombast or exaggeration. Wo may, therefore, conclude that the victory is signal—com plete—glorious.

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.
