Train—A Bold Cu,3. of the fiuerrilln".
On last Thursday week, August 27, a Govern

by rebel guerrillas, about six niiies from Piiiilippi
on tho road to Beverly. We have the particular?
trom Mr. rieter, the delegate.from Barbour, who

The teamsters taken entirely by surprise, and be

them on fire. They then started with the horses

Uongress to make impressment of private property
lor public use; and to afford to the citizens of this
State all the protection in my power, against the
robberies which are being commuted by unprincipled
persons under pretence ot legal authority.
Iain informed that subaltern officers of the army,
without authority from the General in command of the
Department, not untiequcntly make impressment ot
private property and give certificates which will not
bind the Government to compensate the owner lor bis
pioperty, as they are not authorized by the Govern
ment to make impressments. St ragglcra, deserters and
refugees are daily impressing horses, cattle, provis
ions or other property under pretence of authority to
do so forth# public service. Those professing to be
Agents ol the (Juartemiastev sjaml Commissary Depart
ments are also making impressments. In some in
stances, the persons above designated, without legal
authority, sense ot propriety or feelings of humanity,
have taken the last yoke of oxen or cow in the possess
ion of the aged aud infirm, and have deprived soldiers’
families of the scanty means of support for which they
have labored, and without which they must suffer.
iSunh practices of persons professing to be Govern
ment Agents, are allieijating the affections of our peo
ple from the Government, at a time when it is very
important to the public safety that it have the confi
dence and support ot all good citizens. I am cpiite
sure the President approves of no such injustice aud
outrage.
While I entertain no doubt of the constitutional
power of the Government to make impressments ot
private property for public use, upon the payment of
just compensation, I am satisfied tlurt this power should
never be exercised by subalterns without written in
structions from the Government, in which the powers
they are to exercise should be well defined. Nor
should auy citizen be deprived of his necessary
support. And while I consider it tin- duty of every
good citizen to furnish to the Government ut reason
able prices, all the supplies of provisions for the army
which lie can possibly spare and support his family, I
consider it the duty of the State authorities to protect
such as far ns possible against unauthorized seizures
To this end I hereby' inform tho citizens

ment of their property by persons wl\o cannot show
al authority to make the impressment, and to use
such cases, which is necessary to the
persons and property. And I here-

sued out against them for rbbery.and they can be bound
over to attend court and answer for their offence as
the law directs. All persons should he arrested who
attempt to deprive the citizens of this State of their
property by impressment, unless they can show writ
ten authority todo so from the President of the Confed
erate States, the head of one of the Departments at
Richmond, the General in command of a Department,
or the Chief Confederate Quartermaster or Commissary
in this State, ]n the lutter case the written authority
must show upon its face that the Chief Quartermaster,
or Commissary, has instructions from ttie head of his
department to exercise this power and to delegate it to
others. In all eases the person who is to make the im
pressment must be named in the written authority,
and the property to be seized must be described, or the
kind and quantity of property to be impressed by such
person, must be distinctly specified. The person ma
king the impressment will m all cases be required to
produce and show his authority as above stated, or lie
will be arrested.
This order is not intended to embarrass Government
agents in thejust and equitable execution of the Im
pressment Act of Congress, but only to protect the
people of the State against the outrages of thieves, rob
bers and other bad men, who are not agents of the
Government, but represent themselves to be such to
enable them to plunder and rob with impunity.

We noticed last week that the friends of Judge
Anderson had prevailed on him to become a candi

Anderson is well known it is not necessary foi his
friends to sav anything in his favor to recommend
him to the voters of the district. All who know
him acknowledge that he is in every respect emi
nently fit for the office. Although yet in the prime
of life he has held many offices of great responsi
bility, all of which he has filled with great credit
to himselfat^l benefit to his constituents. Affable,
energetic, and industrious, if lie is elected to Con
gress the business of our soldiers and citizens will
meet with strict attention in Richmond. Strictly j
conscientious in all of his dealings, the poor wound
ed soldier and his family will have a friend iu Con

political intrigue, bis time will be devoted to the
interest of bis constituents, llis moral character
is without a blemish, and it cau. with truth, be

Let us remember that there is no material differ
ence between the platforms of Gov. Brown and
Mr. Eurlow. Both go for a vigorous prosecution
of the war and for the comfortable support of our
soldiers aud their families. The question is which
of the two cau carry their principles into effect with
the greatest success. On this point there can be
hut one opinion. Gov. Brown kuows all the re
sources of the State, has the confidence of the peo
ple and lias already made many arrangements for
clothing the Georgia troops and supplying their
families His energy industry, and perseverance
are universally known and admitted, and he will
no doubt receive a very large majority of the votes
of those who are in favor of a vigorous prosecution
of tho war. The contest then will not be between
Gov. Brown and Mr. Furlow, but between Gov.
Brown and Mr. Ilill. We believe that Mr. Hill
•will get the votes of all tho disaffected, and those
that are tired ot fighting and want peace on any
terms that we can get. We fear the vote of that
class in some parts of the State will be large. The
defeat of Rosencrans will no doubt cause Mr. Hill
to lose many votes, but still we believe his vote
. will be consiuerable and next to Gov. Brown’s
The contest then will be between Mr. Hill and
Gov. Brown, and the only cft’ect of Mr. Furlow’s
candidacy will be to help Mr. Hill. His vote may
possibly be large enough to throw the election up
on the Legislature and then the contest will still
he between Gov. Brown aud Mr. Ilill, the two
highest candidates. Every man then that does
not want Joshua Hill for Governor should vote for
Gov. Brown Every man that dees not want the
war spirit of the country rebuked should vote for
Gov. Brown, and every man that wants onr sol
dier# and their families fed aud elothed,should vote
tor Gov. Brown.
In another portion of your columns I notice the
assertion that the comfort ot the soldiers in the
field, and the support of their families at home,
will, during the next winter depend to a great ex
tent, upon the action of the State Government. If
Our neighbor, the Major, who writes for the Re- \ I mistake not, yon prefer the industry and zeal dis- fruit so kindly

Editors of the Confederate Union :
The enemies of Governor Brown have been en
gaged for the past six months in trying to oon-
triv.* some plan to beat Governor Brown. They
first tried to get various gentlemen of ability and
men of Grant’s army. They appeared noT
in the least surprised at the intelligence
of Rosectans’ rout on Sunday and Mon
day, but assert -that they have a plenty of
troops to protect their retreat after they
cross the Tennessee. The number that
arrived yesterday is 1,634, among them
are one Colonel and several Lieutenant
Colonels and Majors, ad the remaining
officers being subalterns. They mostly
belong to McCook’s and Thomas’ Corps,
composed of Kentucky, Ohio, Missouri,
and Illinois troops.— The Intelligencer.

We answer, having Jeceived our information from
the office of the Commissary General of the State,
Col. J. I. Whitaker, whose duty it has been to re
ceive and conduct the distribution of the salt,that
under the first distribution made in 16P2, three
thousand six hundred and seventy (3.67(1) iridoies
pf deceased soldiers were supplied, each with a halt
bushel suit, amounting in all to 1,883 bushels; and
that under this same first distribution thirty-seven
thousand three hundred and twenty-four (37,324)
wires of soldiers, aud widows having a son or sons
in service, were also supplied, with a half bushel
of salt, amounting in all to 18,662 bushels. To va-
cali a’teniion to the icsulutin* of the recent called
session of the Legislature passed unanimously,
pledging all the men and resources of tho State to
