I ‘ Chattanooga, July 2G, 18G2. ■ , j in a letter last month, j ■ nen Atlanta, there seemed to me to ! I ’ £ ‘ ; .| in the atmosphere “a strong Van- ; I ’.c eE ient.” In proof of this, the Cin- ■ I ‘ sJl j Commercial of the 11th inst, I ‘. jijan article from the New York ■ .j giving the report of a citizen of! I ~s Jf s, who had then just arrived in ; ■ ?Vork, giving the particulars of af- j Ijn and around Atlanta. The re- ; I rroceeds to say, that but for our ■ r , near Richmond the Confederate 1 I- )uth would certainly have “gone j I jj our troops were in a state of mu- i I 1 sail demoralization, and that our j I,l'jfarmy was living only on half ra- I of bad meat; that previous to Mo- B m’s defeat the Southern cause was 1 B :? i e ss. It further gave a full account j II ;rforces at Chattanooga, and of the 1 loosed operations of Gen. Smith near | sjortille. f&s also stated that a large number persons in Atlanta were Union men, jag of Northern birth, and but for :cir present interest and situation, they . uld be with the North. I cite this to show the beauty of our present passport system, as well as the cLatacterof a number of citizons of At inta, who, known to be Lincolnites, are [6 t ill permitted to remain there, and give Information to the enemy whenever it is |jti their power to do so. L'mlerthe present inefficient passport ijitea, nay one can pass in or out of jar lines, and they do so daily at differ'* at points. A man who came through in Huntsville this morning, states :it a lively trade is done between that ij and Atlanta, by speculators. They ,vnp Uonfederale money in Huntsville lit great diocouut, and sell Federal jey in Atlanta. It is said they cross sriver below this point, some 20 miles, : E,3how, and corno up ou this side of . river, aud notwithstanding the vigi -8 of the officers here, these men, un tie passport system, manage to slip isrough their lingers. Some more rigor course must be adopted, or else the i sport system had better be entirely iroken np. the mao from Huntsville reports that turnout active preperations were being jiAem Buell's army for an attack ou iMtnnooga. There was great dissatis ictionin his army, caused by the men icing forced to live on half rations, aud Forrest’s dash into Murfreesboro’ had out :! their supply of hard bread. This re rt is confirmed by a deserter who swam rer the river yesterday at Graham’s rry, 20 miles below this. A trader came in this morning from ii Minnville with two wagons of stores, iving left tho town last Tuesday. He ports that a Gen. Moore (Fed.) came with a tlag of truce the morning he ft, from Tullahoma, but did not learn object. Ou Monday previous, 21st, party of Texan Rangers had chased me Federal cavalry as far as Hillsboro’ ud Manchester, ou the road to Tulla oraa. Col. Forrest’s camp at McMinn '-ie had been removed and marched with le battery of artillery captured at Mur ■tesboro, to—a safe place. Gen. Forrest id been heard of at Gallatin, but where e now is, “nobody knows,” and will not, util he makes a sommersault, aud then c will be found landed on his feet. This ruler brought over the mountaiu a lot f salt, that he asks SBO per barrel for ! rooms $1; soda $1 pier pound, and null stores iu proportion. —— from the Montgomery Advertiser. h! Os Killed.

Sun: On the 17th, we were order ed to prepare for a march at an hour’s n-dieo. The boys set about cooking their provi-ions fjr a three Jay.) venture, and e i lvu-.d re i uin:i wotookup tire line of I u.iiiich for Lisin’s Cross Roads, -distant ilw of -ii miles. Wc marched all day in ibe rail], and camped for the night within 1 souq eight miles of our supposed dcsti naliuu. After rein doing two days there, w weie ordered to return to this When we started, everyone ciprCu- l a tight, as ii was understood that the Yin kees were about to make a demonstration upon the railroad through Powder Springs Gap. Y\ e could hear nothing of them. A sharp sxirmish took place during cur absence between our pickets near Taze well and. the enemy. The sullea roar of their artillery awoke the echoes amongst the nooks and crevices of Clinch moun tain, but disturbed nothing else. A few day3 since a dag of truce under command of Major Yeiser, went over to deliver to the proper authorities two sur geons captured by the gallant Forrest at Murfreesboro’. He was accompanied by our brigadesurgeon, .Doctor Compton, and the usual cavalry escort. Upon their return, just at dark, they were bred into by the troops under command of Colonel Carter, an Fast Tennessee renegade, and two of the escort killed and seven wound ed, including Doctor Comptcn. The Major had a very narrow escape, being thrown from his horse, he was badly bruized by a wounded hoise which 101 l upon or near him, of course the act is disclaimed by the Federal General, but it will be long before the troops of the brigade believe the disclaimer. Our hearts have been made glad by Morgan and Forrest’s recent victories in this State and Kentucky. Expectation is on tiptoe, a move into Kentucky is anticipated, nud not without reason. If Morgan’s successes are continued the road is open ; the adversary in our front will be compelled to leave in double quick, i if wc permit him. .If the inertiou which j has prevailed in this quarter continues, I the Yankee General Morgan will quietly ! retreat to a place of safety. our paper has a large circulation in Harbour and adjacent counties in Alaba ma, 1 believe. Doubtless the friends of the Eu fail la Light Artillery would be glad to learn of their whereabouts. One sec tioe of the artillery is encamped beyond Clinch Mountain, near the river of that name,- about five miles from this place, under the command of Lieut. MoTyeire. Another section is quite near us, under Lieut. Mac. Oliver. A third, occupies a position on the Knoxville road, about a mile from the station. I am informed by ft friend, a member of the company, that the health of the men has improved rapidly. They have suffered severely; death had been busy iu their ranks up to the time of leaving the Gap. Since that time, they have been quite healthy. General E. K. Smith paid us a visit a few days since, lie still commands this department, and is likely to remain in command. Let us hope that his recent visit has something more than mere for mality about it : it may be that a move will occur here in ten clays which will tell upon tnu destiny of East Tenuesseo ‘ and Kentucky for ull time. 1 might write of things which your j readers would be pleased to know, but it is better to remain silent, for,reasons which are quite obvious. Yours as ever, Orderly. —.- Arrest of x Florida Girl. A Yankee letter from Pensacola says : Shortly after the steamer left a cir cumstance occurred which created con siderable discussion and excitement among our troops and the civic popula tion of Pensacola. A beautiful young lady, the daughter of the proprietor of an establishment called the Florida, had attracted the at tention of the Union officers, who ap peared so charmed with her accomplish ments that they forgot the thrift and experience of military life. Tho lady made the acquaintance of the epauletted gentry, who mounted, escorted her often eutside of the city, where, at her bid ding, they returned to their quarters. The lady would then ride into the heart of the country, for purposes which sub sequent events unveiled to the astonish ment of her military couductors and the commanding General. At last, the lady requested that thß privilege of proceeding again alone under the same circumstan ces, aud her desire fully developed the dormant suspicions of the military au thorities, at whose request she was brought back to the city, and subjected, to a rigorous search. Every garment of the heroine was in nocent of contraband properly, or the supposed evidences of treason ; and her inquisitors, like Don Alfonso, were about to declare her innoceut, till they stum bled, not on a pair of shoes, but of socks, which contained in ingenious lappings tho damning evidence of her guilt. In these aforesaid stockings were secreted earefully drawn plans of the newly erect ed forts around the city, the guns on the casemates and parapets, with correct in formation of the forces to command eattli, the number of troops in tho city, the redoubis outside, and tho availibility of the boats in the waters. With these proofs to sustain him, Gen. Arnold sent the lady to Fort Ticketis, where she is at present incarcerated. Special to tlie Savannah Republican. Richmond, July 25.—McClellan has an immense number of vessels iu the river, whether to transport supplies and reinforcements, or to enable him to evac uate the Peninsula, is not knowu. Lincoln authorizes bis officers to seize and appropriate all Rebel property nec essary for their use, and to employ ne groes in the military and naval service. General Pope orders all males within his lines to take tho oath of allegiance or leave under penalty of death. Federal stocks are still going down, and gold an exchange going up.

Float Cuiulteilamt Gap. YVe have conversed with a gentnmaa recently from the neighborhood of Cum berland Gap. lie represents the Federal force there to be not so large as we have supposed. TheF.ast Tennessee regiments have been greatly reduced by desertion, and the sick list is large. The officers are holding the refugees togeiinr by dint of hard lying. For instance they were again told on parade a few days ago that McClellan was iu possession of Richmond, aud they were assured thai Kuux\iile would be taken this week, ana that they would all be able to go to their homes in a very short time. They have 28 Cannon mounted at the Gap, and by some moans get daily information from Knoxville iu regard to the movements of the Confeder ate troops. If the Federals are driven out of Cumberland Gap, it is the opinion cf our informant that the deceived and discontented East Tennesseeans will all desert, return to their homes and take the oath ol’ allegiance to .he Southern Confederacy. From General MariitrJl's Command. A correspondent of the Atlanta Con federacy writing from 1 Abingdon, Ya., July 27th, says: A heavy body of cavalry and mounted titiemen from this vicinity are on the move for Dixie or some other point, and I the y will probably infringe upon the ’ constitution aud laws of a natural state ; before many weeks. I hope that Gen. ; Marshall’s whole command will follow, 1 or at least the cavalry, artillery, and I Kentucky infantry. Brigadier-General Williams will take charge of Gen. Heth’s command under | Loring, the present week. I hope the next you hear from me will be near the central part of that much coveted ground, Kentucky. From the New York Times American Affairs in Itiigland, London, July 1, 1862. The intensity of tho feeling of anxiety j respecting the progress of the war in . America feit over in England, and scarcely ! less in France, can hardly be lees than ! Giat experienced in New York. It is the ’ great, absorbing topic of couversa i tiou. John Dull even depaits liom his ■ customary unsocial habits, find talks I with his neighbor in a railway carriage or omnibus on this dreadful war. i And he lilies it less and leas lie ! grows more nud more impatient* lie. j thinks that something ought to be doue ’ ii the Confederates ai e beiituii he never Says rebel: —he looks gruui, and speaks I savagely. If the prospects of General McClellan seem discouraging he is in good spirits. If there is news of some Southern success he is delighted. The do.-ire for intervention certainly in creases. As to the prospect, it depends upon the > events of ihe present campaign. Eug : land cannot act alone, and her hands are i tied by all her possessions, while things remain as they are at present. France is engaged in Mexico, and if the settle ment of the government of that country is to be the preliminary of American in tervention there is no hurry. Still, it is certain that tho Confederates in London are lopking hopefully to Paris, and it is Said that Mr. Slidell, within a few days, has been accorded a long and confiden tial interview with the Emperor at the Hotel Persigny. Perhaps it was about the tobacco. The nervous desire that something may be done breaks out every few days in Par liament. Last night Lord Brougham rose iu the Huiisu of Lords and denounced the war bitterly, as he only can. He had been the friend ot America—ho had been called the partizan of JtlTersou and the AEorney General of Madison; but all tho evils and horrors of slavery were not so bad as this war. He wanted it put a stop to—but how it was to be doue his lordship did not in form us. Ilisspeech was aseolding, which will increase the feeliugagainst the North and lessen abolition sympathy. Iu the House, Lord Palmerston, in answer to an enquiry, said the Governments of Eng land and France were most anxious to do something but they could not see that the time had come for effectual interference. But the mere fact of the subject being brought up so often shows the state of feeling. Lords and Commons are waiting for the great battle at Richmond. Eng land and Franco are wailing. Ihe cotton famine and distress grow vi- ibly. The stock at Liverpool and wiudles day by day. Supply there is none, and prospects very little. All the talk about India, - Egypt, Jamaica, or the Fiji Islands is futile. The Government will not pro tect eoiton culture because it is commit led lo free trade; and capitalists will not embark in an enterprise which the end of the American war, by the submis sion ol the South or otherwise, will ruin. So there is no help or hope. The war mu- 1 be cudedor Lancaushire must starve and England be ruined. It is my convic tion that Parliament cannot put off the consideration of the crisis a month lon ger. - •*>>- • ’-kmc i HLt.ee ‘l'iVij iitKiuiieii kvara A get. Washington Irving, in uis inimical ‘ Knickerbocker History of New York has drawn ihe Yankee character to per fection. Two hundred years have made but little if any changes in their charac ter. The historian, speaking of the Man hatlon Yankees, proceeds : “In truth they are a wonderful and all prevalent people;- of that class who only require an inch to gain an ell, or a halter to gain a horse. (The Thieves!) From the time they first gained a foot hold on Plymouth Rock, they began to migrate, progressing, and progressing from place to place, and land to land, making a little here and a little there, and controverting the old proverb, that a rolling stone gathers no moss ? Hence they factiously received the nickname of The Pilgrims ; that is to say, a people who are always seeking a better country than their own.” William the Testy had adopted a cur rency (about equal in value to Old Abe’s) “of strings of beads wrought out of clams, periwinkles, and other shell fish, and called seawant or wampum.” The Historian proceeds: “And now, for a time allairs went on swimmingly ; money became as plentiful as in (he modern days of paper currency, and, to use the popular phrase, “a wonderful impulse was given to public prosperity.” Yan kee traders poured into the province, buying everything they could lay their bauds ou (just as they do now) and pay ing the worthy Dutchmen their own price —iu Indian money. If the latter, however, attempted to pay the Yankees in the same coin for their tinware and wooden bowls, the case was altered; nothing would do but Dutch guilders and such like metalie currency.” What was worse, the Yankees introduced an inferior kind of wampum made of oyster shells (just us they counterfeit Confed erate Notes at this day) with which they deluged the province, carrying off in ex change all the silver and gold, the Dutch herrings and Dutch cheeses: thus early did the knowing men of the East mani fest their skill in bnrgainiug the New Amsterdammers out of the oyster, and leaving them the shell. Cajit. Peter V. Guerry. Among the many noble spirits who have laid down their lives in the great contest now wag ing, was Capt. 1\ V. Guerry, my old friend and fellow-soldier, who fell in the Shenandoah Val ley. at the battle of Cross Keys, June 27. He was shot through the head with a minuie ball, af ter displaying the utmost gallantry, leading and directing his men. Capi. Guerry was a patriot iu the highest sense of that word.— Without military experience—past the age when the blood is easily tired—he early took up arm?. inspired not by ambition, sentiment, or exasperation, neither from tho medley of vague and mingled naoti ves which often springs the human unud to action, but from clear, in telligent conviction that the right was upon our side —that our wrongs were many and great; that the time had come for all true men to defend that right and resist that oppression, lie was an excellent soldier; cool, prompt, and ecttrageous: yet without ostentation ex ceeding modest, and in all his demeanor a thorough gentleman. Os uudeviatiug Chris tian habit, he maintained his religious iuteg rity through all the distractions of the camp and the mareh, a bright example to his asso ciates, and an eloquent witness of the power of his faith. Kind as he was brave ; firm, yet conciliatory—a foe. worthy of any man’s steel, while he demanded but his right, would take* nothiDg less ; and while he could light withOUf wrath and forgive without grudging, he was not to be cajoled into easy compliance, or treated with save upon equal terms. His heart was full of our cause, and inspired with a great sense of duty to it, which made him devoted and earnest to a decree, unknown to superfic ial minds. Beloved by all his regiment, wheth er officers or men; as’ I recall his many vir tues, lii.s manlv form and honest speaking face, I bitterly lament that fatality which in his death ha? bereatlied both our country and our cause. The blood of such a man is prec ious It has been demanded by Liberty and God ! To them let us commit him, iu the con soling hope. that while liberty graciously ac cepts the gilt, God will care tor- the Christian soldier whose -life adorm-d the g. -pel, and whose death found him at hi? post. T. F, T. ! Kmn li lion-Cled Vtsieb for llie Gall’. It is announced in late French journals that the Government intends to send two i or three iron-clad ve?sqls to the Gulf of Mexico for the purpose, it is said, of ‘ testing their naval qualities. La Gloire i and La Normandie have already been appointed to sail in a Bhort time with that destination. Admiral Julien de La Graviere will hoist his flag on La Nor I rnandie, taking with him Captain Je Russel, late of the Montezuma, who is to i be raised to the rank cf Flag Captain. ; La Normandie is now flitting up in the harbor of Cherbourg, and was to be ready for sea on the 20th instant.

Reg. Sew Eurolling Orders. Headquarters, Camp Randolph, | Calhoun, Ga., July 25,1502. ( To Capt. E. G. Dawson, Enrolling Officer, 3d Congressional District: Sir:—Since my circular of June 25th, I find that by giving discretion to Enrolling Officers, many of them have transcended the limits ex pected—for instance, ’in authority for certifi cates of disability in doubtful cases, I distinct ly stated that the certificates should be only from au army Surgeon of good standing. 1 find that certificates have been obtained from the Physicians of tho towns and country:— those certificates must by all means he recalled, and any exemption you may have yranted on the strength of them. All such individuals must be re-en rolled and sent forward for re-examination by the proper authority. Dr. Miller, the chief Surgeon, positively re stricts the right of examination to only those Surgeons of the army who have been appoint ed specially for that purpose. These are only stationed at our Camp and principal cities, viz : Dr. Coleman and his assistant, Dr. Meggott, at camp; Dr. Tucker, Savannah; Dr. Doughty, Macon; and Dr. Ford, Augusta. Others may be appointed at other points, of which Hue no tice will be given. Dr. Miller lias not only found fault with the examination of outside Surgeons so as to require your re-enrollment of all such as have been examined by such Surgeons, but he has also been instructed by the Surgeon General to require a different sys tem of examination, viz: All men are suppos ed to be capable of performing military duty who are able to perform the common avoca tions of life, and whose disability is not so great as to make them useless as farmers or daily laborers. Heretofore, until about the 10th of July, the Surgeon of this camp and the other assigned Surgeons examined too strict ly, being regulated by the Army Regulations, whose rules were established for the regular army where the service called for only a few men*and they to be selected from the whole country, and only perfect men were then re ceived. This is not the case now. We desire fighting material and have to take into service even those who may have to be discharged after a few months service on ac count of weakness, still, for the time they are in service they will make good soldiers. You will therefore be required to look to it, how l'ar the above referred to Sugeons have transcended the recent order of the Surgeon General, and have, through their strict exami nation caused you to exempt men who are now called for as soldiers. I will repeat—you never had the right to receive Physicians cer tificates who were not Surgeons of the army, and if you have exempted any one on that ground, you must re-enroll and send forward the conscripts to one of the points before uamed for examination. Your authority to recognize the certificates of even army Surgeons is recalled, as oniy cer tificates of army Surgeons appointed especially for. the examination of conscripts, are to be recognized. Should any cases of such certifi cates exist in your District, you must re-enroll them and send forward. Further—Even those who appear to be able to perform the ordinary avocations of life, and who have been exempt ed through too great strictness on the part of the Surgeons regularly appointed, you are re quired to enroll and send them up for further examination. The above instructions for re-enrollment are not expected to extend to “the halt, the maim ed, or the blind,” or such palpable cases of disability as require no Doctor to pronounce upoutlieir inability for service. Justice to those in service, and the necessity of our situation demands this course. Mv in tention has been called to the number of ex emptions and the few men received into ser vice by the Conscript act. from all parts of the State, and it has even been noted bv the au thorities at Richmond. I hope you will be en ergetic and enrol every man between the ages of 18 and 35, not in serVice, and not legally ex empt, I will further call your attention to a recent General Order, No. 19, requiring you to arrest all deserters from the army, ami all soldiers and officers who are found absent from their regiments without leave from the proper au thority, aud giving you the right to confine in jail all such men, until you cun forward them to this camp, to be sent to their respective commands. You will send a copy of this to each of your Sub-Enrolling Officers, and give to them all such other instructions as may be necessary. I will have this aud the above Order 49 publish ed and will send you copies, thus saving your havimr to copy so many letters to your Sub- ! Enrolling Officers. Should’auy conscript properly liable to en- j roilment or to re-enrollment under these in structions, refuse to report to this camp, you are authorized to arrest them and confine them in jail until you can forward them under guard, and in irons, if necessary, and to further aid you in carrying out the letter of these instruc tions, you are authorized to obtain any civil ; or military aid within your district that may i be necessary to enforce them.

A Daring Feat—Tm: Burning of a Federal Vessel.— At one o’clock on Sat urday morning last Corporal Cocke, Thomas Martin, William Daniel, Alex ander Dimethy, and William Williams, member of the Prince George Cavalryj having procured a boat, left Coggin’s Point, on the South side of James river, and pulled to a schooner lying in a fleet of vessels and gunboats about half a mile from the shore. As the boat neared the vessel a dog on board gave the alarm; but the boat wa3 made fast, and Mr. Martin sprang on deck, followed by the rest of the party, just as the captain of the schooner made his appearance from the cabin. Mr. Martin informed the captain he came, by order of General MeClellau, to arrest him and carry him to headquarters. The captain was ac cordingly lowered ihto the boat, and a straw bed in the cabin of the schooner having been ripped open and fired, our adventurers pulled lor the Southern shore. Just as they were safely landed, the flames burst out aboard the vessel, aud, in an instant after, she was iu a sheet of flame frotn stem to stern, the light illuminating tho river and its banks for miles. The prisoner is ascertained to bo Capt. John A. Jones, of New lork. lie is now in the Petersburg jail. His schooner was the Louis 11 Fivers, of one hundred and sixty throe tons burden.

They came on from North Carolina, via the new canal. There were also at Newport News, two regiments of negroes, who had been armed and were being instructed iu infantry tactics. There was also a negro company in Norfolk, who were drilled every evening by a Yankee calling him self “General” Green. This fellow was formerly a workman in tho faotory of Bonner & Mellain, of that city. Several days ago Green was ordered to muster his company, armed with bludgeous, through the streets and kill every dog found going at large without a muzzle.

Inly lSih Cotton at tlic Sortli. Onr market quotations this morning show the prices of cotton in this city, and indice'e very plainly to what we are com : ioir.

J n 9 a! e to g” hp uotdowo, until there I comes a oeuci al financial and commercial smash up. indeed wo arc to get no more cotton for the next three years. Our mills have got to stop, our manufacturers, I if they are not Wind, may already see ruin staling them in the lace. 1q six months Rhode Island’s fate will he seal ed. At last accounts there wore ouly 213,’ 271i bales of cotton in Liverpool, against j 1,123,000 at a corresponding date last year. Were the mills to run on full time every pound of cotton in England would be used in four weeks. India, of which we have heard so much in Abolition i speeches, suplies no part of the deficiency ] occasioned by the loss of the American i article. Instead of sending more than j usual to market, there was afloat at last i accounts of India cotton, only 45,000 bales against 580,000 last year, and 230,- | 000 in 1860. There are millions of per i sons who have heretofore been employed in the cotton manufactories of England, four-fifths of whom are to be out of em ployment in a short time. And the same : state of things to an extent fearful to ! contemplate, is to exist in New England, j ‘'But we are to have cotton,” says the ; abolitionist, “This rebellion is to be crushed, the Southern ports are to be opened, and cotton is to pour in upon us most plentifully.” This is the talk of crazy fanatics and fools. The Southern ports may be opened.; but we shall get no cotton. The old crop will be destroyed whether the owners like it or not. They dare uot resist a measure so essential to their independence. The torch will be applied to nearly every bale that remains unburned to day ; and not more than enough is being raised for Southern con sumption. The uniform testimony is that there are no cotton fields to be 3een on the Mississippi. “Plant corn and not cotton,” was the order, and it has been strictly obeyed. “But next year we will got cotton enough,” says some abolitionist. We know better. We shall be lucky if we get a bale per week through the year. No attempt will be made to raise it until this war is over; and the war will not end, as things now look, until even the foundations of Southern industry, South ern business and Southern social life are overturned. Abolitionism has taken the reins, and it will not permit us a mo ment’s rest until the whole South is thrown into confusion, and all hope of the raising of cotton destroyed. The legislation of this fanatical Cou gre-s has rendered restoration almost impossible until nearly the entire white population of the South has been exter minated, and the North has hroughtupon itself bankruptcy and ruin. The South will not yield to the policy of the aboli tionists while resistance is possible; and in spite of all we can do, it may prove possible, until Federal treasury notes are sold for ten cents in the dollar. Do we speak despondingly ? We say only the truth. We warned the people iu 1856 of just this state of things. We predicted it again iu 1860. When the war broke out we believed it might be brought to an end, and the South brought back to the Union, iu a year or two, if we followed the conservative policy and as serted only the supremacy of the Consti tution. instead of this, our whole course has been calculated io exasperate the Southern people, dishearten Unionists everywhere, and divide the North into factious. We are farther from a final victory than we were one year ago. All that our armies have done has been un done by a reckless Congress arid a yield ing President. We have spent six hun dred millions of dollars and sacrificed fifty thousand lives and gut for it all— what ? We have saved Maryland, and Kentucky, and Missouri, by a show of bayonets, and lost them by a show of radicalism. The Union cause will here ! after find little hearty sympathy south of | Mason’s and Dixon’s line. And now, we say again, the North is to bear her full share of suffering. Her cotton mills must stop. Her laboring men are to become paupers. The Gov ernment is going to take care of the nig gers ; white people, without bread or employment, must take care of them selves. Morgsn’i Return, A portion of Col. John Morgan’s com mand, consisting of the Ist Georgia Ran gers and the Texan Rangers, returned to this city yesterday. From Capt. M. C.

At Lebanon he took between two and three thousand stand of arms, half of which he retained, and half destroyed. 1 Here also he burned half a million dol lars worth of Federal army stores. He accomplished all this, besides trighten ing the whole Yankee nation out of its propriety, with the loss of not more than fifteen or twenty men killed in all his engagements, and between thirty and foity wounded, and has returned in triumph to Tennessee.— Knox.

Kirby Smith, Commanding Department of Eos’ Tennessee: Gc}n;r\ii l have the honor to report that, upon the day of the engagement at Toiupkiusville, a full report of winch 1 have already sent you, 1 moved my com mand, consisting of my owu regiment, the Georgia Regiment of Bartizan Ran gers, Commanded by Col. A. A. Hunt, and Major Cano’s Texas Squadron, to which was attached two companies of Tenuessee cavalry, in the direction of Glasgow, which place I reached at 12 o’clock that night. There were but few troops iu the town, who fled at our approach. The commis sary stores, clothing, &c., together with a large supply of medical stores, found in Glasgow, were burned, and the guns were distributed among my command— about two hundred of which were un armed when I left Knoxville. From Glasgow 1 proceed along the main Lexington road to Barren river, halting for a time near Cave City—my object being to induce the belief that I intended destroying the railroad bridge between Bowling Green and Woodson ville. I caused wires connecting with aportable battery that I carried with me, to be attached to the telegraph line near Horse Cave, and intercepted a number of dispatches. At Barren River 1 detached three com panies under Capt. Jack Allen, to move forward rapidly and destroy the Balt River bridge, that the troops along the line of railroad might be prevented from returning to Louisville. On the following morning 1 moved on towards Lebanon, distant thirty-live miles from Barren river. At 11 o’clock at night I reached the bridgo over Roll ing Fork, six miles from Lebanon. The enemy had received iuformatiau of my approach from their spies, and my ad vance guard was fired upon at the.bridge. After a short fight the force at tho bridge was dispersed, arid the planks which had been torn up, having been replaced, the command moved forward to Lebanon. About two miles from the town a skir mish commenced between two companies that I caused to dismount and deploy, and a force of the enemy posted upon the road, which was soon ended by its dispersion and capture. Lieut. Col. A. Y. Johnson, commanding the troops in the town, surrendered, and I entered the place. The prisoners taken, in number about sixty-five, were paroled. I took immediate possession of tho telegraph and intercepted a dispatch to Col. Johnson, informing him that Col. Owens, with the tiOtli Indiana regiment, hail been sent to his assis tance ; so 1 at o.nee dispatched a company of Texan Rangers, under Maj. Gano, to destroy the railroad bridge on the Lebanon Branch, which he successfully accomplished in time to prevent the arrival of the troops. 1 burned two long buildings full of commissary stores, consisting of upwards of five hundred sacks of coffee, and a large amount of all other sup plies in bulk, marked for the army at Cumber land Gap. I also destroyed a very large amount of clothing, boots, &o. I burned the hospital buildings, which appeared to have been re cently etected and fitted up, together with about thirty-five wagons ana fifty-three new ambulances. 1 found in the place a large store of medicines, five thousand stand of arms with accoutrements, about two thousand sa bres, and an immense quantity of ammunition, shell, &e. I distributed the best arms among my command, and loaded one wagon with them to bo given to the recruits that I expect ed to join me. 1 also loaded one wagon with ammunition. The remainder of the arms, am munition, and the hospital and medical stores, I destroyed. While in Lebanon I ascertained from tele graph dispatches that i intercepted, that tiie force which had been started troin Lebanon Junction to reinforce Lieut. Col. Johnson, had met and driven back the force under Captain Jack Allen, killing one of his men, and pre venting him from accomplishing the purpose for which he had been detailed. I proceeded from Lebanon on the following day through Springfield to Macksville, at which point I was attacked by Home Guards. Two of my men were taken prisoners, and one se verely wounded. I remained at Macksville that night to recover the prisoners, which 1 did the next morning. I then left for Harrods burg, capturing a Federal captain and lieuten ant on the road : reached Harrodsburg at 12U o’clock, and found that the Home Guard of all that portion of ‘ Oimtry had Hed to Lexington. A force was also stationed on the bridge where tho Lexington road crossed the Kentucky l iv er. My reception at this place was very en couraging. The whole population appeared to turn out and vie with each other as to who should show us most attention. I left Harrodsburg at 0 o’clock tho same evening, and moved to Lawrenceburg, twenty miles distant, threatening Frankfort in order to draw off the troops from Georgetown. Re mained there until the return of my courier from Frankfort, who brought the inlormatton that there was a force in Frankfort of two or three thousand men, consisting of Home Guards collected from the adjacent counties and a few regular troops. From Lawrenceburg I proceeded toShrykes” Ferry on the Kentucky river, raised the boat, which had been sunken, and crossed that eve ning, reaching Versailles at 7 o’clock. 1 found tins place abandoned by its defenders, who had tied to Lexington; remained there that night, and on tho next morning marched to wards Georgetown. While at Versailles I took about 300 government horses and mules. I passed through Midway on the road to Georgetown, and was informed just before reselling the place that a train from Frankfort was nearly due, with two regiments of Fede rals. I tore up the track and posted the how itzers to command it, and formed my command along the line of the road; but the train was warned of our presence and returned to Frankfort. Having taken possession of the telegraph office, ] intercepted a dispatch ask ing if the road was clear, and if it would be sale to start the train from Lexington. I re plied to send the train, and made preparations to receive it; but it was also turned back and escaped. - I reached Georgetown, 12 miles from Lex ington, that evening. Just before enteringthe town, I was informed that a small force of Home Guards had mustered to oppose us. I sent them word to surrendor their arms, and they should not be molested, but they tied.— The people of Georgetown also welcomed us with gladness, and provided my troops with everything that they needed. I remained at Georgetown two days, during which time I sent out a company under Captain McMillan to destroy the track between Midway and Lexing toh, and Midway and Frankfort, and to blow up the stone bridge on that road, which he successfully accomplished. Hearing that a company of Home Guards were encamped at “Stamping Ground,” thirteen miles distant, T dispatched a company under Capt. Hamilton to break up the encampment, burn the tents and stores, and destroy the guns. This was also accomplished—Capt. Hamilton taking fif teen prisoners and all their guns, and destroy ing a large amount of medical and commissary supplies. I also, while at Georgetown, sent Capt. Castleman with his company to destroy the railroad bridges between Paris and Lex ington, and report to rne at Winchester. This was done. Determining to move on Paris, with a view of returning, and hearing that the place was being rapidly reinforced from Cynthiana, 1 deemed it of great importance to cut otl the communication from that place, while I drew off the troops that were already there, by a feint on Lexington. I therefore dispatched a portion of two compgnies towards Lexington, with instructions to drive the pickets to the very entrance of the city, while I moved the command toward Cynthiana. Wuen I arrived in three miles of the place I learned that it was defended by aconsiderable force of infan try, cavalry, and artillery, i dispatched the Texas squadron, under Maj. Gano. to enter the town on the right, and the Georgia regi ment to cross the river and get into the rear, while I moved my own regiment, with the ar tillery under the command of Lieut. J. E. Har ris, down the Georgetown Pike. A severe en gagement took place which lasted about an hour and a half, before the enemy were driven into the town and compelled to surrender.— I took 42u prisoners, including about 70 Home Guards. I regret to have to mention the lo ot’ h of rny rnen in killed and 20 wounded, ac cording to their own account. Their excess in killed and w ounded is remarkable as they fought us from behind stone fences and tired at us from buildings as we charged through the town. We captured a very tine 12 pounder brass piece of artillery, together with a large number of small arms, and about three hund red government horses. The arms and gov ernment stores were burned, and as many of the horses as wecould bring w ith us were kept, found a very large supply of commissary and medical stores, tents, guns, and ammunition, at this place, which 1 destroyed. The paroled prisoners were sent undei an escot t to Fal mouth, where they took til-- train for Cincin nati. I proceeded next morning towards Paris, an l was met on the road by a bearer of a flag of truce, ottering the unconditional surrender of the place, i reached Paris at 4 o'clock, re mained there that night, and started towards Winchester next morning. command was tilmg out of Paris, on the Winchester Pike, I discovered a large force of Federals coming towards the town, from the direction of Lex ington. They immediately countermarched, supposing, no doubt, that my intention was to get into their rear. This enabled me to bring ors my entire command without with the exception of two of my pickets who were probably surprised. I reached Winches ter that day at twelve o'clock, and remained until 4 o'clock, when i proceeded towards Richmond. At Winchester X found a number of arms, which were destroyed. I arrived at Richmond at Pi o’clock that night, and remained until the next afternoon when I proceeded to Crab Orchard. I had de termined to make a stand at Richmond, and await reinforcements, as the whole people ap peared ready to rise and join me, but I receiv ed information that large bodies of cavalry un der Gen. Clay Smith, and Cols. Woolsford, Met calf, Mundy, and Wynkoop, were endeavoring to surround me at this place. So I moved on to Crab Orchard. There I attached my porta ble battery to the telegraph leading froni Stan ford to I.ouisville, and learned the exact posi tion of the enemy ‘s forces, and directed my movements accordingly. Leaving Crab Orchard at 11 o’clock, I ar rived at Somerset, distant twenty-eight miles, at “tindown 1 took possession of the tele graph, and Von ntet man Jed all the previous or ders that had been given by Gen.

I left Knoxville on the 4th day of this month with about nine hundred men, and returned to Livingston on the2Bth instant with neatly twelve hundred, having been absent just twen ty tour days, during’ which time 1 traveled oter a thousand miles, captured seventeen towns, destroyed all the government supplies and arms in them, dispersed about fifteen hundred Home Guards, and paroled nearly twelve hundred regular troops. I lost in killed, wounded and missing, of the number that 1 carried into Kentucky, about ninety I take great pleasure in testifying to the gallant bravery and efficiency of my whole command.
