Hill Arp is out with another .long and any using letter in the Anpista Register, from which we make tlnj fol lowing extract: We arrived in Atlanta about the time the first big shell commenced skalteriug their unfelin contents among the surburbs of that devoted sitty. Then come the big paniks. Then' shrieken tlie man-eater* Then howl .l ■Try*MAa.A>xvoßa r JiiJ> i] l&pf 1 Lilly lon. All sorts of people seemed moviu in all sorts of ways with an ak ■seilerated motion. They gained on their shadows as they leaned forward <m the run: and their legs grew longer at every step. With me it was the sekoad ringing of the first hell. I had sorter got used to the thing and sot my self down to take observations. “ How many miles to Milybright?” said 1. 13ut nary response came, for their legs was as long as light, and every imstin shell was ail old witch on the road. Cars was the all in all. Depots were the centre of space. Converge ing lines from every pint of’compass made Iraki to the offices of- railroad superintendants. These functionaries very prudently vamoosed the ranch to avoid their too numerous friends, leaviii positive instructions to their * subordinates. The passenger depot was thronged with anxious seekers of transportation. “ Wont you let these boxes go as baggage?” ■ “No madam, i t’s impossible.” " Just then somebody’s family trunk as big as a niter bur© was shoved iu and the poor woman got desperate. “ All I’ve got ain’t as heavy as that,” said shej “ I’m a poor widow, and my husband was killed in ihe army. I’ve got five children and three of cm cutting teeth, anjmy things have got to go.” -We took up her box es and shoved them in. Another good woman asked very anxiously for the Macfin train. “ There it is, madam,” said 1. She shook her head mournful ly, and remarked, “You are mistaken, sur don’t you see the engine is headed rigid up the State road, towards the Yankees? 1 shant take any train with the engine at that eend of it.” “Nosur, that ain’t the Macon train.” Everybody was hurryiu to and fro at , a lively tune. “ What’s to-day, nig ger?” said a female darkie, with a hoop skirt upon her arm. “ Taint no day, honey, that ever 1 seed. Yistidy was' Sunday, and 1 reckon to-day is day, from de way de white folks is movin about. Yah! yah! aint feerd of Yankee myself, butdem sizzin bum shell kill a nigger quicker dan you can lick yer tung out: Gvvine to git away from here —I is.” Went into a doctor shop, and found my friend packing up his vials and pis etvs and copiavy and sich like. Vari ous exsited individuals come in and looked at a big map on the Avail, and BLAKEI.Y, GEO., OCTOBER 5, 1804. pointed out the roads to McDonough and Eatonton and Jasper, and soon their proposed lines of travel was ea«* sily and greasibly visible from the im . pression of their perspirin fingers. An old skeleton, with but one leg, was swinging from the ceilin, lookin like a mournful emblem of the fate of the trubbled sitty, “ Yer gwine to leave him to stand guard, doctor,” said I “Spose I will,” said he, “got no trans portation for him.” “ Take that screw out of his skull,” said I, “ and giv him a crutch. May be he’l travel*—all flesh is movin, and I think the bones will catch the contagion soon.” A few' doors further and a venerable auctions eer was surveying the rushing crowd, and every now and then he would raise his arm with a seesaw motion and exclaim goin—goin—goin—gone! Who’s the bidder ? ” ‘‘ Old daddy • time,” said I—he’l git em all before long.” The door of an old friend’s residence swung open to my gaze, and I walked in. Various gentlemen of my akuaiu tance were discussing the evidences of propriety over a jug of departing spirits. “I believe I’ll •unpack,” said one; “dingd if I’m afeerd of a .blue* tailed fly, I’m goin to sit down an be easy.” “In a horn,” said I. Just then a sizzin, singin, crazy shell sung • a short meter hymn right over the house. “Jake, has the dray come? ” said he bouncin to his feet. “ Con found that dray —blame my skin if I’ll ever get a dray to move these tilings —boys let’s take another drink,” after which another friend remarked, “Boys, let’s all stay—darned if it don’t look * cowardly to run;, boys here’s to—who shall vc drink to? Here’s to—“Cas ihianka, said I. “ Good, good,” they all shouted. “ Here’s to Cabysianka. l„-.t it-for y-v.i, poy- ’’ said our host. We spoke Ts a thousand times. He mounted the seat of a bro ken sofv, and spreadin himself, fleklum ed: “The on the burning deck, When all but him had lied.” “ That’s md,” said one. “ It’s me exactly,” sai'd another. “I’m Cabv sianka myself; dog my cat if I don’t be the. last one to leave ibis ship.” Another shell sizzed and busted a few yards off. “ Boys, let’s take another drink and leave the town—dad rot the Yankees.” Here’s to —here’s to —the —the “ last of the Mohikans,” said I. Prez&kly—them’s em. I’m . him myself. I’m the last of the Mo hikens; durned if I’ll leave these dig gins as long as —as long as.” “As the State lload,” said I, “ which is now a bout four inches and a half.” “That’s so,” said my friends. “ Here’s to the State Hoad and Dr. Brown and Joe. Phillips, us long as foUr inches and a h.lf.” By and by the shells fell as thick as Gov*. Brown’s proklamafdiuns, causing a more speedy lokomotion in the ex cited throng who hurried by the door; but my friends inside had past the Ru bicon, and one by one retired to dream of Bezaris and his Sulliote band. Va cant rooms and long corridors soon echoed with their snores, and they ap peared like sleeping heroes in the*halls of the Montezumas. In the blessed days gone by, I have seen the shakin Quakers goin through their pious motions and pekular atti tudes. I have cunously watched and waited to diskiver the first shake of the spitual leg. Then another and another would catch' the delicious ' trembles, until the entire assembly of brethren and sisters were shuffling their extremities in solum and hister ick beauty. Just so the big paniks seemed to inspire the good people of Atlanta. The first good shake that oc kurred in Peachtree street was foul . contagion that soon spread its orful trembles from the barracks to the fair grounds, sweepin in its all gathering course the existen population who peo pled its bizzv streets! George 11. Williams, formerly Judge of lowa Supreme Court, and an “unconditional Uuiou Democrat,” is elected United Satates Senator from lowa. Iu Memory of Morgan. A gallant officer of Morgan’s command sends to Qc Richmond Enquirer the fol lowing brief review of the deeds of the la mented chief: The death of Gen. J. 11. Morgan—the gallant hero whose name and fame is too enlarged to be confined to .one continent —will east a pall over the entire Confeder ate army. As an humble follower of the “Great Chief” who was relieved from command of his gallant division only to be placed on duty “ in the inner courts of the sanctuary,” where Johnston junl Jackson, Bee aud Bartow, and a host of other gallant generals and Christian warriors are now serv ing, I feel called upon to mention a few of the principal feats of my daring leader and the characteristics of the man, leaving to the pen of the historian the duty of fully recording his deeds. Brig.-Gen. John 11. Morgan, in September 1801, as captaiu of a company of partizan rangers, invented and brought into requisiton a system pf cavalry fighting that lias been since suc cessfully adopted by all cavalry leaders in the Confederate States- army. I refer to his system of using tin horse ouly to trans port'his meu, and then dismounting to fight. In the Spring of 1802 he had raised,. equipped, armed and mounted a brigade ol cavalry, all at no expense to his country, and far in the rear of the enemy's armies. As Colonel commanding that brigade, he made, during the month ol duly, 18(52, a reconnisance into Central Kentucky, start ing front Nashville, lennessoe, 'July 4th, and reaching Sparta July 2i)th. in twen ty five days passing through Central Ken tucky, killing, wounding and capturing ‘scores of the enemy, and returning to out lines with his losses but slight, alid bring out many recruits. To I’ollpvf up the work of bis command, while under the leader ship of Gen. Morgan, Would require too much space in' yorir paper; but in biict 1 can state, witlymt fear of contradiction, and in justification'to the memory of this great -on 4 ujuj+j iiu* hi; recvuited ruoyiroplk. * than auy Major-General iu the Confouii nto .States army—-that he captured and paroled more Fcdcrals than any Lieutenant-Gener al—killed move Federate, captured more supplies, and suffered, less in. the loss of men than any cavalry brigade or division Commander iu the. army. As an officer he was great in strategy, bold in execution, . and urtiring when the interest ol his coun try or command called for it. Asa irieud, true and firm, kind and conciliatory. No subordinate ever approached his preqpncc but he was met and welcomed in a genial manner. General Morgan’s zeal for the cause frequently caifsed hi nr to venture be yond the literal construction of his orders. But the Confederacy had no truer heart or braver sword battliug in her defense, and Kentucky may be proud to feel, although many of h©v sons b»vc basely submitted <*> the tyrant’s yoke, that John 11. Morgan, her gallant son, poured out his life-blood in defense of Constitutional Liberty. Com rades and followers of the brave lamented dead, death calls for vengeance. Let us each and every ouc strive with renewed zeal and determination to keep tip the great fear that our hatred foe evinced to wards our General and followers, and so live that wc may meet and servo under his leadership again in that bright land where wars cease aud Yankees cannot enter.

Dreamily tho insects chirp, ami musical and soft the wandering zephyrs come and go, mingling their low, melan choly breathings with the sweet, plaintive cadence of Natures hundred voices murmur ing everywhere around us, “ Passing away.” Our lives, too,are passing away. The mel ancholy Autumn reminds us of this; yet it is with a pleasing land of regret that wo become cognizant of the serious fact. There is something iudisorihably sweet and pleas ant connected yvitli these days, “ the sad dest of the year ; ” and mournfully, but soothingly does the lowyoieed Autumn ap peal to tho soul; holding up happy pictures of the past—throwing a dreamy halo over the present, and giving us bright glimpses of the “life beyond”—life in tho “eternal future.” * , Rutrunutterably sad does the present Au tumn seqe.i, as she wends her way through the diin forrest aisles of the suffering and ' noble “ I'lmpiro State,” whose children have “ lifted up their voices ams wept,” feeling in their sore distress that God had forsaken them in His wrath. Many of theiv homes liavo bceu desolated, and the destroyer of their peace, in his pride and arrogance, pollutes with his presence and that or his followers, one of their fairest cities.
