Tuesday Morning, July 26, 1864. Be Ready. 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 strengthened by others more direct Mid leliabie - 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 hearing of a force sent after them from Atlanta, in front of Washington on last Tuesday, ; touched feli to 22-5.

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. Headquarters Atlanta, Ga., July 20th, 1864. B. B. Hamilton, Col. & Aide-de-Camp: Colonel:—In reply to your inqui ry I state that all persons having cer tificates of disability from District Surgeons are liable to re-examination, unless the certificate expresses vpon its face that the discharge is permanent, for permanent disability. The Statute of the State requires in all other cases 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 vable frdm customs duties and internal taxes.” ’This is greatly an under esti icp supply ut bandages required.

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 ses. | Escape of Major Gen.
