The position of Stieruian enables him to
B , r ,d raiding parties into the interior of
Georgia ; and if the people do not prepare
to meet them, there is no telling the amount
of damage that w 11 be done to the proper
ty of citizens, to growing crops, and Gov
ernment works. Columbus, Macon, aud
Augusta, especially, will receive a call
from blierman’s raiders, if not fully pre
pared for any emergency. A bold resis
tance, by a-small body of men, saved Pe
tersburg, and the same display of coinage
and determination will save the cities of
Georgia from being sacked. Augusta, es
pecially must be defended ; every intelli
gent man knows why. The Yankees are
well aware of the importance of certain
public works in that city, and will most
certainly endeavor to destroy them. A
sleepless vigilance must bo practiced so
long as Sherman is in the State. By day
and by night every thing should be kept in
a state of preparedness. There is no tell
ing at what hour of the night the tbieres
may come; therefore, watch and be fully
prepared Every man who remains at
home should cheerfully' submit to petty
annoyances, and discharge with alacrity
such duties as those in command may as
sign him. Better bear with trifling evils,
than wear chains, and be forced to groan
under a slavery more galling than ever
ground a people to the dust.
A Leihp sik! False fofiflcsion.
Many of the planters .who have
been detailed to make provisions, con
tend that they are under no obliga
tions to defend the State from inva
sion because they have given a bond
to the Confederate Government to.
sell a portion of their produce to the
Government, at government price.—
This does not relieve them from their
duty to the State. The State was
not a party to the contract. The bond
was given at the request and lor the
benefit of the planter, and does not
impair the obligation of the planter
to repel the invasion of the State.—
Suppose the planter should bind him

Mayor deGraffenried acted promptly and put
arms in the bauds ot those of onr citiweua who
responded to the call upon them. Gov Brown who
was in this city, believing that the information of
the enemy's intention to make a raid upon the
Capital was reliable, at least that a color of proba
bility attached to the report, and that the local
force here was totally inadequate to defend the
city, dispatched to General Wayne for I960 men,
on Sunday night, and also to General Cobb for
assietance.
Gen. Cobb and the. Confederate authorities
promptly complied with the request of the Gov
erncr and Gen. Wayne, and in a few hours had a
large force on the way The soldiers arrived
Sunday night. The promptness with which thi*
matter was managed reflects the highest credit
on all concerned. At the time we write Monday
there are no signs of tlie raiders. It is said that

LETTER FROM GOT. BRGWT.
We have been handed the following
letter of instructions to Col. Hamilton,
for publication. As will be seen, all
persons claiming exemption from mili
tia duty will have to hq examined by
the board of Surgeons appointed for
that purpose, before they can be dis
charged. The Governor’s instructions
are explicit and decided, and we would
advise all persons to conform with
them :— Te.lcgraph.

B. B. Hamilton, Col. & Aide-de-Camp:

Fiom Captain Pearce, who commanded
the Twenty-sixth Georgia in the fight, w’e
received some particulars of the battle at
Monocaey bridge. The bridge is four
miles from Frederick city. The river
runs due mutb and south. The railroad
and national road crossed the river at very
nearly the same pi inf, As our troops ad
vanced towards the liver from Frediick it
became apparent that some force of the
enemy, supposed at the time to be caval
ry, were holding the east bank. A coup
le ot our batteiies open* d on them firm
the front, while our cavalry were ordered
to go up the stream and cross above the
bridge. At the same time a considerable
force of infantry moved down the stream
and crossing south of the bridge, formed in
apiece of woods ou the high ground. It
was still believed that the enemy had
nothing blit cavalry on the ground. but
our iufantry being ordered forward, emerg
ed into an open field and discovered the
enemy’s infantry diawn up in line of bat-
Oi
to ‘2764. Thus, in the
t | ie j first three days of his official service, he
saw gold advance 264 per cent.; and in
one week fiom the time that the public
expectation had been directed to him, gold
rose 514 per cent. With all Chase’s abili
ty. he never came up to that!
Now that gold has risen so high up a-
mong the hundreds, it is hard to sav what
would be an unreasonable' expectation as
to its future. We suppose 3U0 will be a
small obstacle. We doubt if any serious
fight is made upon it, as was made upon
200. If Mr. Fessenden has his past luck,
he can leap over it in a day aud a half.
Nor did the Washington Congress, at its
late session, do so much as we expected to
supply Mr. Fessenden with financial re
sources. The mouey article of the Her
aid says the total receipts from all the tax
es now in force are estimated at three hun
dred and fifty millions, while the probable
expenditures will be “at least nine hundred
fifty millions,” leaving the su>q of six hun
dred millions” to be raised before next
July, beyond the estimated income deri

taxes.” ’This is greatly an under esti

retrograde movement toward Virginia.—
This was the most quiet and leisurely
march of the expedition. Our troops
moved slowly, driv ing the cattle and hor
ses iu front. The enemy’s cavalry follow
ed in our track, but at h very safe distance
behind. If any of onr men were picked
up by the enemy it was because, in viola
tion of orders, they, had wandered off from
tbe main column in search of plunder.
This day morning our iufantry, baggage
and spoils got safely over the river; our
cavalry, which had been covering the re
treat, were still at Poolesville. Maryland,
Thursday morning, when the enemy at
tacked them; a sharp fight ensued; our
cavalry routed the enemy and chased
them six miles towards Washington*
Our army brought south of the Potomac
five thousand horses and twenty-five hun
dred splendid beef cattle; besides our cav
alry and artillery are all supplied with
new and valuable horses. Our men are
all in great spirits, and charmed with the
success of their expedition. They -rep
resent the time they spent in Maryland as
“glorious ”
The only regret connected with the ex
pedition is the necessity we were under
of leaving at Monocaey bridge such of
our W'ounded as could not sit on their hor

Escape of Major Gen. Franklin.— j
We regret to hear of the escape of Major j
General Franklin, as his capture would j
have enabled our Government to exchange |
him for some one of’our generals now in

We understand he was placed in charge
of an officer and two men, who laid down

walked off. Too much whiskey was prob

them food, rest and rebandaged their
wounds. It appears, however, that the
