• General Beauregard.
This.distinguished offie^r, who has been assign
ed the President to the command of the armies
under General Hood and Lieut. General Taylor,
paid a visit tt. Governor Brown, iir this city, for
consultation the past week. '1 lie General arriveu
at the Executive Mansion by the Lain of 1 uesday
night. In an hour after his arrival n large pro
portion of the people of the city formed a torc.i
light procession and mnehed to the Mansion and
called for the General, lie appealed upon the
front portico and was introduced by Governor
Brown as the hero of the first battle of the T .\ ar
and the hero who never lost a battle, T4ie Gen
eral responded in a few appropriate remarks. He
assured them that bo came to Georgia to bend
every energy ot bis mind and oody tor her de
fence. He was quite liopelu. of success in driv
ing General Sherman from her territory. This
could certainly be done within the next sixty
days, if those absent from the army without
leave would return immadiately, and all able to
bear arms would hasten to the trout tor that
length of time. Ilis remarks were well received
and frequently applauded by his bearers. After
the General concluded his remarks Governor
Brown was called for and responded. •
On Wednesday the General spent some time at
the Executive office where niairj- of our citizens
gathered around him to pay their lespec.ts. On
leaving the Capitol the Cadets under Maj. Capers
were drawn up to salute him, and the booming
of cannon told the. surrounding country of the
welcome with which he was received.
At three o’clock, P. M , the Cade la, the City
Battalion, the Cavalry, the Artillery and Infantry
Companies, and a large concourse of citizens,
formed in front of tho Executive Mansion to es
cort the General to the train upon winch be was
to leave for Macon. Upon the arrival of the pro.
cession at tho train all who cotilJ get near Innr
crowded around to shake his hand and to testify
their high appreciation of his distinguished ability
and their gratitude for his services. Hie train
moved off’ amidst outbursts of applause and re
peated huzzas for the distinguished visitor. The
General lias the warmest affections and fullest
confidence of our people. Their prayers are with
him that he may be the instrument in tho hands
cf Providence in driving tho vandal invader from
oat* aoij.
Governor Brown and General Wayne accom
panied General Ucauregard to Macon, for a con
sultation, we understand, with General Smith and
General Cobb.
Thi 1 Coarcrl,
Tiie Concert at Newell's Hall, on Thursday evening
last, under the direction of Mrs. Dr. Mitchell, and Mrs.
Moffett, assisted by Mr. \V. 11. Barnes, Capt. T. D.
Wright, the young ladies of the city, and sc viral gen
tlemen who kiudlv volunteered for the occasion, was
a decided tucce.su. An inclement evening did not pre
vent the Hall from being well tilled with an nudieuee
respectable in numbers and charm-ter.
It is not our privilege to distinguish between the per
formance, so far as to mention names among the young
ladies; but we express our decided opinion that we
have never seen them perform their parts with more
credit to themselves than on the present occasion, mid
we have heard them often under similar circumstances.
The decoration of the stage is also due to their good
taste, and was by no means ail unimportant- feature
in the exercise^ The graceful management of Capt.
Wright, and the good order with which the pieces were
brought forward, did credit to this gentleman. His
little daughters, aged respectively four and sc-venyears,
were the “observed of all observers” They sang like
bjrds, and looked like dowers, in innocence and
beauty.
Barnes, the incomparable, ubiquitous, whole-souled
Barnes, was on hand ; spreading sunshine and smiles
over the laces gt all, and tilling the house with raptu
rous applause. Sir. Barnes lias contributed by his
genius more to the charitable associations in our midst,
during the War, than any man in Georgia. He moves
about from place to place doing good, and making
people happy.
* To Mrs. Mitchell, who directed, and to Mrs. Moffett
who presided at the piano, tin; thanks of the audience
are, tendered for tho excellent arrangements which
marked the proceeding -. When these ladies start to
do anything they rarely, if ever, fail in their undertak
ing,no matter how advers t tie circumstances surround
ing them may be. The amount received was $1,100 for
the beneft of the Atlanta exiles.

Vice Fresident Stephens’ Letter.
W« publish to-day an important letter from
Vice President Stephens, in reply to several gen
tlemen of Middle Georgia, who addressed him on
the subject of peace. In our next we will pub.
lish Senator H- V. Johnson’s letter to the same
gentlemen, on the same subject. While these dis
tinguished gentlemen are very anxious to see peace
restored to our distracted land, and would do ail in
their power to bring about a consummation so de
voutly wished for by good men everywhere, they
can suggest no plan in the present temper of the
ruling power at the North, to bring it about. Ha d
blows on the enemy will bring us petee. Noth-
lag else will.
For the Confedeiate Union.
•I’eac*.
JJuic it should l>c sought, and may he. obtained-
Messrs. Editors : As a liamble citizen of
Georgia, I propose through your paper, lo make a
few, and as I believe, jffaeticable suggestionsi as
to the best and most speedy nianuer of obtaining
peace. In doing this, I claim to exercise only a
right which belongs to every citizen nowever hum
ble be may be—the right to express lus opinions
iin all matters’of public interest. If any good
shall come to the distressed people from’ these sa/-
gestions, a consciousness of having contributed
ever so little to its attainment, will bo to me am-
p’e reward.
My plan is this; As both the Congress of the
Contederatii States and the General Assembly of
Georgia will convene about the same time in next
month, let the State Legislature ns soon as con
vened, adopt a joint resolution recommending Con
gress to pass an act at an early day of its session,
authorizing and requesting each State in the Con-
1 federacy to appoint delegates to meet such other
delegates as may be appointed by the States in
the old Union, in a general convention or cor.
ferencc.to be held at such place as may be agreed
upon, to deliberate, cpnfer and reason together
upon tho "subject of peace. In the mean time,
let proper steps be taken to secure a .cessation of
hostililies between the belligerents, to continue
until the expiratiun of a reasonable period of time
for tbs delegates from ell tho States to meet and
deliberate.
That the North would consent to bolding such
a conference, and would agree upon au armistice
for the purpose, there can be no doubt. The peo
ple of the North as well as those of the South,
have suffered sorely irom the war; both will suf
fer more if it be continued, and both are alike
anxious for its termination.
Each State should seloct as delegates, her best
and wisest men, solid men of the country, men of
age and experience who are not likely to be blind
ed or misled by passion, men who will deliberate,
think and act with wisdom. Young men can
make war, but it takes old men to make peace.
The delegates should go from both sections to
the conference, uutrammeled by instructions, lim
itations or restrictions ; left entirely free to rea
son together, and if possible, to agree upon some
ulan for the restoration of peace winch would, in
their judgment, be acceptable to the people of
both sections. It might be provided that, in case
the, convention or conterence cannot agree upon
terms of settlement between the belligerents, ques
tions upon which they cannot come to an agree
ment, shall be left to the arbitrament of one or
more of the wisest and best sovereigns of other
nations. The action of the convention, after be
ing ratified by the people of the respective States,
should bg made final and binding upon both bellig
erents, by formal treaties constitutionally made, or
by other proper means.
If such a conference once meet and an armis
tice bo agreed upon for its deliberation, it is not
probable that hostilities will ever be resumed.
When nations, like individuals . one? quit fighting
and begin, to reason with each other [about their
differences, a solution of tiic questions in dispute
is often peaceably found that continued hostilities
never could discover. From the deliberations of
such a convention, the people of both sections
would have reason to hope that honorable and per
manent peace, with all her attendant blessings,
would soon come, and restore the whole land to
quietness and plenty.
The Christian takes a view other than a merely
terrestial ohe, of this bloody struggle between
North and South. He wisely recognizes the fing
er of God in it, as of His permission, to chastise
both peoples for their sins. While each combat
ant intends the blows he inflicts upon the other
for evil, God, who secs and permits, if not directs
a. 1, designs these sore chastisements for good to
both. Each fs an instrument in the hands of him
who has said “vengeance is mine,” to chastise
the other. That both peoples have suffered so
much, and been chastised so *oi#iy, by God s com
mand or permission, (for it conld not have been
done otherwise,) is proof that all the wrong was
not on one side, nor all the right on the other.

For the Confederate Union.
Messrs. Editors: The 'Educational interest is at all
times a subject of vital importance and surely never
more so than at the present.
What is to become of the youth of our country, the
little boys and girls growing up around us, the emblems
of innocence and hope, is a question that should ab
sorb the serious consideration, of every Christian and
patriot. And with whom does this question excite
more anxious solicitude, tfmn with our soldiers in the
army. The reflection that their children are growing
up in bondage to ignorance,to be the menials of society
and offscouring of the world, is enough to depress their
spirits, mid disarm their ambition.
The lightest regard we can evince for these children,
and the greatest blessing weeau bestow upon them,
is to educate them.
All other gifts are unstable and uncertain, education
alone will be permanent and abiding. By doing this
we will largely cancel a debt of gratitude, strengthen
the arms, and inspire the heaits, and minds, of their
fathers, with confidence and determination.
Reasonable,and I might say praiseworthy provisions,
are made in ttie way of food and clothing for iudigeut
families of soldiers among us.
I hear of no complaint from that quarter.
Thanks to <i kind, and merciful, providence, for the
abundant supply, that hangs in our fields and fills our
stores.
The great desideratum in meeting the wants of on?
soldiers, of society, of government and all dear to an
enlightened people, is to provide for the educational
wants of these children.
This can, and must be done.
Legislative munificence is too heavily taxed, with
other weighty and resjKuisihle claims, to give proper
attention to this matter.
I apprehend that the only sure, nud successful, plan
for accomp fishing lunch in this noble work, is by-the
voluntary action of the people.
Let us organise an educational association in Mill
edgeville ; appeal to the patriotism,and liberality of our
people, in behalf of this class of children among us and
I am sure of success. F. L. B.
iy The ladies of the Soldiers’ Relief Society
earnestly entreat the ladies of Baldwin county to
contribute socks for the soldiers from this county.
Those who knit or have socks for .sale, will please
make it known to the President, Treasurer or
Secretary. Our soldiers roust Lave socks, and ’tis
only by the ladies exerting themselves, that it can
be doue. Let us iioUnppeal to you in vain.

An Important Order.—Adjutant General Cooper
Iras issued the annexed important and stringent
order in rcgaid to army letter writing:
Private letters and communications relative to
military marches and operations, are frequently
mischievous in design, and their publication gen
erally injurious to the military service. They are,
therefore, strictly forbidden, and any officer or
soldier, or other person serving with the armies
of the Confederate States in the field, who shall
be found guilty of making sueh communication
for publication, or placing the writing beyond his
control so that it finds its way to the press before
one month after the termination of the campaign
to which it relates, shall be punished, according to
the degree of his offence by a court martial.

Arise gallant Georgians-! Your champion has come !
Unftirl your proud banners, beat kindly tlradrum !
To victory advance, for he knows not defeat,
Your General will never, no, never retreat.
Upon our fair borders the ruthless foe stands.
Already has wasted our homes, and our lands.
But Georgians! march forward! our rescue is near,
For the brave Beauregard,welcome Hero, is here.
The hope of the Nation, the first in the field,
Will aid us in danger, his great name our shield;
And grant this, oh Father; When this war is done,
May he fire ttie last, as he did the first gun.
Sons of Georgia to nr ft is! Let no stain of dishonor
Attaint her fair name, fertile world’s gaze is on.her.
Let citizen soldiers, with hearts hold and warm,
To the last man turn out,to rot! bac k war’s rude storm.
Te laggards to arms ! All ye skulkers come forth.
Quit your “bomb-proofs” and lace the vile hofcits of

And ye hospital rats, fake to water and swim,
Gu the high tide’to victory when guided by him !
Shame, shame on the coward whose heart does not

With courage redoubled as dangers grow nigher,
WluOcroaksiu disaster find crows in success.
But always shuns gunpowder nevertheless.
Our iron-wdl’d Governor, gladly will yield,
Ait his aid in expelling the foe from the field.
Then tight in the cause of our freedom, and right.,
For God helpetli justice, much rather thau might.

As stated in Stanton’s official gazette above,
communication With Sheridan was cut off, and
heucu lio late advices had been received of him.—
The Baltimore* American sums up the news
irom the Valley as follows :
On' tiuiiday, Sheridan ami Torbert joined their
forces near New Market, and started after ti e en
emy in the direction of Staunton, reaching Har
risotiburg about twenty-five miles from Staunton,
on Mouday. Our cavalry advanced beyond Har
risonburg, continuing the pursuit, and consider
ably annoying the enemy. Whether he will pro
ceed now on to Staunton, or await supplies, is not
known. It will be remembered that after the de
feat of Early near Winchester, lie sent his Gains
to Harper’s Ferry, where they arrived in saJc-ty.
and lie must consequently have since been sub
sisting mainly upon the country through which
be has been operating. In the absence, however,
of official information from Secretary Stanton or
General .‘Sheridan, all conclusions as to future
movements are mere speculations. Tho object
of General Sheridan’s movements may have now
been accomplished to the satisfaction of Jfieut
General Grant, and probably after fortifying the
principal gaps of the mountains he will rest upon
his laurels for a time.
Ten Thousand Sick Soldiers to he sent
South to hr exchanged..—A despatch from
Washington says that Major Aldlford, As
sistant Agent of Exchange, >2)11 start,
within rt few days, for Savannah, with
ten thousand sick and wounded rebel
soldiers, to be exchanged for a like num
ber ot the worst cases of sick and wound-
fid of our own men. The steamer Baltic

Milledgeville, 8cp. 26th lb(ii.
Col. Jared I. Whitaker, Commissary General :
COLONEL: Information reaches uih from va
rious parts of the State, that the families of our
gallant soldiers are again in great need ot salt,
and sum^of them must soon suffer if their-neces
sities are not relieved. While those who are their
natural protectors are required to leave them aud
confront the enemy on the battlefield, those who
remain at home, and’especially those in authori
ty, must do all in their power to relieve their
wants, and prevent distress for the necessaries ol
life. Considering the State as the natural guar
dian of the helpless families of absent soldiers,
I have as its Executive, done all in my power to
contribute to their comfort Notwithstanding the
means of bringing salt from the works in Virgin
ia into the State, have been greatly curtail d du
ring the present rear, i have neveriheless suc
ceeded in bringing in from there and in procuring
from other sources, since the last distribution to
soldiers’families was made through you, about
thirty thousand bushels, as appears from your re
ports made to me; and which quantity is now in
store ready for distribution. Although this will
not be enough to supply all, it will, it distributed,
relieve a great many; and the others can have as
sistance when more can be procured.
My intention is. so soon as it can be had, to
make a distribution of one half lushed of twenty-
five pounds, to the family of each officer and sol
dier in State or Confederate service, from Georgia.
You will, therefore give notice immediately, to j same by the first day of Novembeinext.us'lshaii *cW

On account of the great Increase in tho cost of i

eluding the increased cost and difficulties of trans
portation, and, from the further fact that the !
bushel of fifty pounds, at the wofks, will lose j
several pounds by drippage and other waste, be- j
before it reaches the consumer, the half bushel
ot twenty-five pounds cannot be delivered to the j
consumer tor a less sum thau that-above mention- j
el. When I cause ! the first distribution of salt j
to soldiets’ families to be jnade, I adopted the rule j
of deducting fcoin tiie half bushel the usual wast
age from the place of manufacture to place of de- I
livery: but I found that there was much com- !
plaint that the Courts, in distributing, did not al- ’
ways give each family an equal quantity. I J

An object long and devoutly-wished for is at length
attained. General Price, nt the head ot a gallant ar

will be able to hold position there, nt this distance from
the scene of action, we are unable to determine. Of
this fact,4iowuver, we feel assured, he will receive large
acquisitions to his force from the fighting men of that
State, than whom tdis war has furnished a oue of
more indomitable courage.
There are no people in the whole Confederaev truer
and more devoted tothecause than the Southern pop
ulation of Missouri. Overridden by a merciless foe In
the beginning of the war, they have had no opportuni

enthusiastic attachment to Geu. Price, their love of
him as a man and their confidence in him as a leader,
we are satisfied that they wiil flock to his standard by
