Except an engagement near Richmond, or Tuesday last, in which Burnside's negro troops suffered heavily,, we have nothing of important-: to notice, since our last issue. Atlanta is close!.' iuvested by Sherman, but the Yankee Genera makes h? slow progress in ousting General Hood from the Gate City. Ilis only chance is to cut the Macon Road in Gen. Hood's rear which he n attempting to do. In the meantime Sherman may find a fire in his own rear, too hot for his comfort. Wheeler is doing something in the rear of Sherman, but we have no official intelligence of liis operations. Gen. Early's movements, in Northern Virginia, have developed nothing by which the public can judge of his plans for the fu ture. All quiet at Mobile. The enemy gre again moving' in Florida. They wore driven from Baldwin by Gen. Jackson. Raids are frequent.— Forrest is watching the enemy in Mississippi.— Everything looks cheering for the Confederacy.

Editors: I discover a controversy go- ng on in the various papers, relative to the letn sal ot certain parties, merchants corporations ind others, to receive longer the old issue of Con federate Treasury Notes even with the deduction ,if 33 1.3 per cent, troin their face ; and reference Preparing for the Raids. The Governor lias been very busy for the past week preparing for the Raiders. If they should think it prop- pay ilile er to pav us another visit we think we shall to give them a warm and a cordial reception. Their lust visit in this vicinity could not have been very agreeable to either ot the parties. Our excuse for not making it more interesting, is that we did not expect them, and of course were not prepared to give them such a welcome as we could wish and as they deserved. But when they come again we trust we shall be pre pared to receive them in‘-such a manner as will be so perfectly satisfactory, that none of thc-m will ever go back to their master. As Maj Sherman quarters, captures Lying Thomas. Gen. Thomas, second in command to has sent an official dispatch to Head- claiming to have killed, wounded arid about one half of Gen. Hood s Army, in the battles of the 23th and 22nd July, we invite the reader’s attention to extracts from the N. V. Tribune and Worl I, touching these very battles in which Thomas claims such stupendous victo ries. So far from being great victories for Sher- man r s army, they are admitted by the Tribune and World to have been serious disasters.. and came very near the destruction of the boastful Thomas and his vandal invaders. One might as well look for diamonds in an ash-bucket as . truth in a Yan kee General's official report. The ileu Currency.. Some of our city contemporaries speak very knowingly of the certainty of the arrival of large amounts of the new currency at the several de positories in this State, We think the best thing the Secretary of the Treasury could do at this time to relieve the mon ied pressure upon the country, would be to retire all the old currency, by exchanging two dollars of the new for three of the old currency', accord ing to the act of Congress. The people rely with confidence on the Government to excute its part of the contract; and the sooner it does so, the bet ter for the people and Government. We hope that Mr. Horne will soon be suppli ed, so as to accommodate our immediate column- ty.

Vol’s. fmni May 5th 1804 to July 30th at which time I was wounded. Spottaylvauia C. II. May 1 lt!i.—Killed .John W 'has been made to the State’s declining to receive he same in future for the taxes and public dues ■shortly to be collected. Without either approving or disapproving the course of those who think properfat this late pe riod, to refuse to receive longer the notes of the old issue, in the face of the gross neglect of jlr- Confederate Treasury Department, under Mr. Memminger, to discharge its duty. 1 will remark that the .-Tate is situated differently from other parties. In the first place the salaries of the ot ticeis of the Slate are very small tor the times, and it is not only 4he policy but the duty of the State to give to its officers a curreucy that :an be used ; hut this is a very small matter compared witn that of other obligations of the rotate. The of deers salaries only amount to about $80,000, while the State has appropriated to Inuigent Soldiers Families $6,000,000, for clothing soldiers, $2,500,000, besides $75U,OUO to purchase steam *-rs to import the same, if possible, $500,000 to r.he Hospital-Fund, $3,' 00,13.0 for military pur poses $1.2H0,0M> to purchase-Cotton Cards, §500,- tfUU for a Salt Fund, iVc , »vc , and as most of this money is used daiiy in the pm chase of provisions, cotton goods, Ac, it is not only the policy, but me duly of the State to pay to these parties funds that can used at par, without any difficulty. For several months past, the old issue of Confederate Notes could not thus be used, and parties have refused it at the Treasury. Even as far back as April, while the State Vas attempting to leery up the credit of the §5 Confederate bills by receiving and paying them out at the Treasury Mr Mem minger and the tfficers of the Confederate Govern- nient is're refusing and discrediting the same ; Mr Memminger refusing to receive the sfTme for the sale of Bonds, and his officers and tythe agents refusing to receive the sarge for tythe corn, and other articles sold by tbe Confederate Govern ment. The officers and agents of the State, then, m purchasing these thiugs to the best advjjitage, could not stop to try to get off the old issue, which the State might have received after the 1st of Julv, when the Confederate Government itselt refused to receive it for articles sold, and when those who sell to the Sta‘e, or who the State owed, preferred the Slate's Notes payable in the new is sue on the 25th December next, or redeemable in taxes or public dues at any time. To have longer paid out these notes might have had the agents of the Soldiers Relief Fund aud the va rious agents and officers of the State continually traveling backwards nnd forwards to ami from Milledgeville exchanging old issue for State Notes, or the State would havt^ had to submit to large sac.ifices in paying enhanced prices, &c , lor purchases made. But this is not the only rea c on why the State, declined to receive these notes for the taxes and (Hiblic dues hereafter to be collected. On all the Notes she received after the 1st of July she only- occupied the*positiou of individuals. A: 1 that she did not exchange, at 33 1-3 per cent, off, for new issue, by' the 1st of January, became worthless by the Act of Congress of the 17th February last. Consequently when,fin March last, the House of Representatives, in its anxiety to aid the people as much as possible, thoughtlessly passed a bill au thorizing the State Treasurer to receive this old issue with the 23 13 per cent off for taxes and other public dues of 18(54, aud, when the fact havinc been stated in tbe. Senate that our taxes were not finally due from the Collectors until the 2oth of December, only ten days before all this money became worthless, and that from the short ness of the time to gather up these notes and have tin nt redeemed, the State might, perhaps, lose at least $4,000,1100 or $5,000,000 and when the Sen ate unanimously rejected this proposition; upon thfe bill being returned to tbe House and a similar statement being made, the House of Representa tives recededfrom its proposition and also unanimous ly rejected it This being the case, then, the Gov ernor could not but order tbe Treasurer, after the 1st of July, to receive no move ot the old issue. As the Confederate Government, or Mr. Memmin ger and other officers of the Confederate Govern ment as far back as April refused to receive the $5 bills at par, for bonds or articles sold by the Government, the State might have very appropri ately refused to receive even the $5 in April last, or before the first of July, but Gov. Brown, desi ring to aid the Confederote Government as far as possible, and as the State would get at par half in (5 per cent Bonds and half in new' issue for all the $5 bills received into the Treasury up to the 1st of July, betook the responsibility of authorizing the Treasurer to receive the $5 bills at par until the 1st of July. The true state of the whole rnafter is this, Messrs. Editors : Instead of the Editorial fratern ity row pitching into merchants, corporations, traders and others for the present condition of things, they ought to look at the facts and hold the true culputs up to public condemnation. Mr. Memminger and the officers of the Confed erate Government, are not only _ responsible for much of this, iis their refusal for months past to receive the old issue for bonds and other articles sold by the Government, but if Mr. Memminger’s clerical force (in the issue of Treasury Notes.) lias been correctly stated, he, above all others, if he is not alone, by his inefficiency, carelessness, lazi ness, or other dyspeptic cause, responsible for the new issue bad tQ be sent to Richmond to I e counted,-and paid out &c.,and communication had been cut off part of the time between Richmond md Columbia. But on the other hand, it may also be said, (%iat there was no necessity for sending the money to Richmond, to be counted and paid out—on the contrary, had tbe Confederate. States Treasurer (whose only duty is to receive find pay out the funds of the Government) only tem porarily. removed to Columbia, or sent his Aissist- tiuit, or Chief Clerk therd’, and had receipted for and paid out these bills thorp, and kept a day Book or Journal at that place, not only much time would have been saved in throwing out this new issue, but thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, expenses in transiiiission of funds to and from Richmond may liavo been sav--d to tbe Gov ernment and to individuals. But it may be said, again, that Mr. Memminger did not have the num ber if Clerks stated. In this eas«, it would then again been his own fault, and shows his own in- clficicncy, for he no doubt had the authority, and it was his duty to have immediately employed the necessary force to carry out. the Act of the 47th of February wi h promptness and despatch, and thereby preserve the credit and good faith of the Government. With this statement of the case, I leave the matter, with the remark, that I think the country has been blessed, in the resignation of Mr. Mem minger. His reign, in my humble judgment, has been a great enrse to the countty. His friends say he lias been a subject of dyspepsia, and that this lias been the cause of his conduct and the great suffering of the country by his mismanage ment, inertneqft „&c. It is to be hoped that 51 r. Irenholm is TCxliffermt person—aud it is to be further hoped, that Mr. Davis will not hereafter appoint any ’‘dyspeptic” to such a responsible post, as the Secretary of the Treasury. JUSTICE.

The details grantedto them as matter of personal favor butas mat ter of public interest. They are required to give their whole time to the business of traveling through the county from planta tion to plantation, under such regulations as the Courts may prescribe, and in seeing that the negroes on all plantations, left without overseers, are kept in subjec tion, and property protected. This duty is expected to be performed ns promptly and faithfully as they would perform the duty of soldiers at the front. No Policeman is expected to give any more of his time to his oyvu plantation than he does to the plantation of like size of each other person in the sect on ofthe county to which lie may be assigned by the Court. In each case of neglect to perform his duty under the rules here laid down, the Court and the Aids-de li amp are charged and required to arrest such delin quent Policeman and send him immediately to Maj.

From tbe proclamations and editorials in the Mobile press, we judge that the city is being rap idly cleared of its non-combatant population, and every thing is making rekd v for a siege. The city is very compactly buitt, with close, narrow streets, and therefore liable to great damage by the ene my’s guns. But ^hat is nothing in comparison with the humiliation and shame of tame and cow ardly surrender. It is gratifying to know that both the military and the citizens have determined to see the last house razed to the ground before hoisting the white flag. We must by this time have a large and splendid at my in the trenches around the city. It may not be well disciplined, but not much discipline is necessary behind breastworks. The situation is this: The enemy huve captur ed the gunboats Tennessee and Selma; beaefird the Gaines; captured FortGainesicaused the evac uation of Fort Powell, and gained our inner linea of works. He has merely defeated our skirmish line—the main defenses are yet to be fought. present state of things I have seen it frequently stated in the Joues. Wounded 1st, »erg’t W. K.

If this be so, and had be properly dischar ged his duty, all of the old issue in the Confeder acy, or at least, all of it East of the Mississippi, could have been long since redeemed with the new issue. The Act taxing the old issue aud provid ing for the ne.w issue became a law on the 17th February last, or six months ago. It was then Mr. Memmiuger’s duty to immediately proceed to entry it out, especially as most of the old issue was taxed after the Is' of April. Say that it took his engravers one month to arrange the Plates, atw] commence printing them (it ought not to have taken them 3 weeks) and this would have put his Clerks to work on the 17th of March — Now let us see what these I5'J Clerks, even with moderate working, ought to have done by this time. The signing of the Notes is the slowest part of the work . and to facilitate the same, per sons with the shortest names are generally se lected to sign the Notes. These persons, then, with short names, can easily sign their names 3.1100 times daily. It takes two names to each bill J2 Clerks, then, ought to have signed their names daily to I8.0U0 ‘ $100 bijls $1,800,000 We see it stated that Elias Aired, a mem ber oi the Georgia Legislature, from Pickens couu. ty, has joined the Yankee!.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, { Mii.lf.iigevii.le, August 19th, 1864 ) As numerous applications are made to this office by persons now in the Division of Militia under commaud of Maj. Gen. G. W. Smith, for furloughs, details and Oise barges, I take this method of stat ing to alt concerned that the Division has been placed under the command of Gen- J. B Hood till such time ns I may choose tq assume tne*com- mand, or till I shall order it disbanded when I am satisfied the emergency lias passed. As it is important that til-re be uo divided coun sels at Atlanta, when so much depends upon the result, I deem it proper that Gen Hood, while in command ofthe Militia, shall have the entire con trol 8o soon, therefore, as the men are ariq^d and sent to Atlanta 1 yield the sole command to Gen. Hood, till I shall think proper to resume it as above stated, aud all applications for furlough, detail, or discharge must be made to him through the regular military channels. Nouejjf them will be acted upon by me. The Hospitals of the Mili tia arc also under the direction and control of the officers in chnrge of that Department, uuder Gen. Hood, and the State has no control over them. •During the time that Gen. Hood commands the Militia they are as absolutely under his control, for the defence of 'Atlanta, as the Georgians in Virginia are under the control of Gen. Lee. The only difference is in the term of service.— Those in Virginia are in for the war, while the Militia are in for the emergency to be judged by the Governor, and th«»y are disbanded or with drawn by his order. * JOSEPH E.

Mr. Metominger, if he attended at ail to the duties of his office, and in tended to redeem the old issue with new issue, ought ter have redeemed the whole, by or before the 1st of July. But what has he done 7 Echo answers, what has he done ? By persons who don't know the true state of matters, it may be said that for several mouths past, the enemy were near and around Rich mond, and that the Clerks could not work, on ac count of being in the Military set vice, in the Tenches etc.— bnt this was not the case, as «1! iheso Clerks (for the issue of Treasury Notes) were removed to Columbia, South Carolina, where there was no enemy near, long before the enemy came near Richmond. It may aiso be said,as an excuse for the long delay complained of, that the The appointment oftliis distinguished soldier to the coumianU of Mobile atnl the Department of the Gulf, is au assurance within itselt that the defence ot the city will be brave and successful. Weromembcr viv idly the heroic valor he displayed in the siege of Port Hudson. Hemmed in weak and badly constructed works with Banks on the land side, commanding nve times the strength of the garrison, and the enemy’s fleet in the river on the other he repulsed every effort to storm the fortifications, and piled the ground with Inukees slam, lie had mo thought of surrendering until after Vicksburg fell, and Grant commeuced marching his whole army to reiiuorce Banks. It would have been madness to Continue the struggle longer, and the brave General was forced to surrender by other circumstances than those of his own Choosing. Tlie holding ot that point, Was of a system of stupendous i luaders of tbe imbecile Pemberton. But it was not for Gen. Gardner to consider whetherthe position was ! necessary—it was for him to obey orders. The people of Mobile asked the President to give | them Gen. Gardner, and ho promptly obeyed their i wish. 'This, after all is a good way to obtain com- j manders. That is the way Gen. Lee-got the com- ! maud of the army ot Northern Virginia, and that j is the way the people of Charleston got rid of Pemberton. When they get a man of tneir own*i choosing they will work and fight, with the ener gy of hope and confidence, but when lead by a i mau they do not trust, disaster is sure tu follow.
