Daniel makes application to Y » me for letters ofadministration.with file will an ntxed. on the estate of Isaac Daniel late of said county The real object of Nbrrinsa'a Baid—a Van- Uee view of it. The New York Times announces that it is no! of those who expect vast advantages from Sher man's advance through Georgia, viewed “merely as a raid,” and it goes on to give what, in its view, does constitute the advantages which are to aris- from it: Georgia is^undoubtedly the granary of the Con federacy, and to destroy its harvest will crippb Lee’s army this winter T he cairving off of cat tie and horses will, besides, lame the transporting power of the rebel Confederacy. All these art benefits of some importance, which we shall de rive from Sherman's invasion. But, on the other hand, the Confederacy is es sentially au agricultural Sta'e. Vast breadths ot land in South Carolina, Eastern Georgia and North U arc ffi ,la formerly planted with cotton, have been, during the last y ear, sown with wheat and corn It will be exceedingly difficult to - tarve out such a community Again, a destructive iifvasion of this kind cre ates a number of new enemies. Every mau rob bed and stripped by the tempest of destruction now sweeping through Georgia, is henceforth a hundred fold a more bitter hater of the North and the. Union than ever before. All doubtful and lukewarm Southerners in that Stole have undoubt edly become now iufin.-e’secessionists. It is just os it would be here if Lee should sweep fhe banks ot the Hudson in a Inoad track of desolation from Albany to New York leaving nothing but black ened homesteads and wasted forms. There would be but one effect. Every Coppetbead would be come at orfee a violent < nionist, or even perhaps of which his withdrawal from Nashville was the necessary preliminary, we, of course, do not know. We think it reasonable to suppose, howev er, that this plan involved the transfer of his army further north. We have never imagined that Gen. Hood intended to take Nashville by issault. We can readily conceive, however, that it might have been necessary, or proper, to make a strong demonstration against that city in order to facilitate his operations in its rear. By doing so he has been able to detach Gen. Lyon with a considerab'o force to blockade the Cumberland and move into Kentucky, aud to send Forrest on on a similar expedition to interrupt railroad com muuication. It may have been important, too. thus to employ Thomas’ attention in order to transfer Breckinridge's command in safety to a proper position. We do not know the where abouts of this officer, but we do know that Bur nridge entered Bristol a short time sinemwitha few thousand men—a thing that could not hare been done had Breckinridge been any where with m the lines of his old department Late news from the west places Gen B at Gallatin. Tenn If this be not true to the letter we feel" quite tve! ; assured that it approximates the truth. Hood, having everything ready for the movement, now turns Nashville and marches into Kentucky. Ii he he joined there by Lyon, Breckinridge and and Forrest, the programme we have marked out for him will have been carried out. and the con fusion of the Yankee General and the consterna tion of the Yankee peop e will be the result. A YiSIainoun Scheme. in his message Lincoln recommends that the a “black Abolitionist ” Patriotism, hatred ot the j bouds of the United States Government shall be invader, would be ten fold more strong; for there is a certain limit, b.yond which, if von injure a j man, nothing is loft but hate and despair. Every raid, into the South or North, has a tendency’, without question, to “encourage enlistments” on the other side- Still, these are the necessary evils of war It solidifies each side A people like the Anglo American could tn v.er be reduced to sub- tlierefore to cite and admonish all persons j mission by burning their barns or plundering ' >w cause if any they have, on or be- j their houses.

Sherman we may be sure, with his long head, is aiming at something more than burning towns, grain, corn cribs, or capturing useless cities. He is, besides, only a lieutenant of General Grant; his move ment is merely part of the great stragetic plan which covers the whole country. Having gained a new basis on the Georgia coast, reprovisioned bis trains, renewed his am munition and lested his men we maj’confidently expect that his next movement will be Northward He may . veil pass by Savannah and Charleston bitth, make a new base at Bull’s bay, and a se cm Jury base t Branchville and thus easily hold », ;h ;i;ics of the rebel railroad system—the upper and lower. From this point he could easily oper ate toward North Carolina, sweeping the country before him, until he bad formed a new base on the North Carolina coast and begun his grand final march into Virginia and the rear of Lee. This would be the closing act of the rebellion, and Lee would be placed in a worse position than was Cornwallis at Yorktown. One contretemps, however, might occur which these supposed movements could not prevent. If they own into money and buy theso bouds. They will be the most valuable stock ever thrown upon I the market 'Every debtor will buy as much of it i as he can. The coffers ot Oid Abe will run over; for ! every Yankee who owes more than he can pay will J sell out everything he has and invest the proceeds j in these bonds. Never was a national foible so ; adroitly hit upon by a ruler for the purpose of j raising the wind. j The New York World is the only paper we have | yet Seen which raises its voice against this whole | sale rascality. It says: “He (Lincoln) gravely ; recommends that our Government shall raise mon ey from our citizens by corrupting their sense of 1 pecuniary honor. [That we hold to be impossi- i bie, on the same principle that we cannot kill a j dead man j He wants Congress to pass an act to protect the purchasers of Government bonds from paying their honest debts! He gravely re i commends that this species of property shall be | placed beyond the reach not only of taxation, but of creditors. It is a spectacle as astounding as it is_ melancholy to see the Chief Magistrate of a gre it nation asking Congress to enable citizens to cheat their creditors out of their honest dues.’, It is certainly an extraordinary spectacle, and Hood should break through into East Tennessee, i we do not believe it could have occurred any there would be a new line of communication where else on earth But Lincoln knows his found between the eastern and w;estern sections of the Confederacy. Lee could be reinforced from the West, or he could retreat to the moun tains and transfer tlie war to Tennessee. and Ken tucky. We must hope that General Thomas will put a stop to any such concentration, and that that important legion will still be held by our forces. From the Southern Confederacy. Frcm Dalton. people well, and Seward knows them still better. They both know the substratum ot knavery that underlies the character of the Yankee nation, and it is to this they are now addressing themselves It is a shrewd device, and we suppose it will succeed it the Congress pass the law. The ne cessity of resorting to it, however, is another proof ot the desperate straits to which the Yan kee finances are reduced. Utterly unprincipled as Lincoln and those around him are known to be. there aro yet some things which he and they would not venture to do, unless urged thereto by extieme necessity, They would not, for instance, V e converseu, last evening, with a gentleman <} 0 alI y t hing which must utterly destroy the credit, who left the vicinity ot Dalton on last I liursday. ; both at home and -abroad of the whole Yankee Iiis report is very encouraging, and speaks vo - p e0 pi e> individually and collectively, which snch umes of praise for the patriotism of the people o j ^ j aw as t h at proposed must inevitably do For that section, who. though they have enuuied the nQ man w ii] trust a Yankee, when he knows that most crushing oppression for the past six months, b inve8 ting all his money in these bonds he may still stand erect in the cause of fcoutheru itide- I u £ eat him om of his The 8cbeuie vou fi pender,ce . . , , work admirably at first.

JL 31 regiment of about five hundred, and a cavalry regiment of near one thousand men—all com manded by a Colonel, he thinks. In addition to this force, they have ten pieces ot artillery.— They have not a very good supply of provisions at the post, but a considerable amount of stoics, and the general prevailing opinion is that they will not evacuate the puce unless forced. All the able bodied men in that section are thoroughly organized, and rendering most effi- 1 cient service There are at least 2,00!) men or ganized between E.owah and Chattanooga, who force the Yankees to “remain in doors ” Our informant reports that the road between Allatoona and Kessca is in batter condition than it has been since ihe commencement of the war; it having bebn reiaid with new iron, which the en emy failed to destroy on their retreat. There are also several depots still on the road uninjured north of the Etowah The citizens from the comities around Dalton are fagr returning to tlnir homes, and are sowing large crops ol wheat aud also pr-paring to plant regular crops The people in the immediate vi cinity of the town are sutiering untold miseries, as a majority of them are living on nothing but bread. Would the people of this section be will ing to endure, as much for t’ 1 © promotion of the cause 7 We fear not, The railroad from Dalton to Chattanooga is kept constantly c..t by our scouts. No train had passed ov -r ihe road tor ten days previous to the departure of our inloimaut, because of its having been destroyed at some point between there and Chattanooga. There are two telegraph wires remaining from Atlanta to Dalton in good condition ; one of them is perfectly new. ' From the Columbus Times. Frcm Tennessee. Yankee reports of recent operations around Nnahvillo give a not very cm»nracing view of the “situation” in niai quarter. ’They are i,^* tainly later than anything wo have received from Confederate soure*s, and may speak truth as far as they go; but we imagine that they do not give, and were not intended to declare, the whole truth. We are inclined to believe that Oeneral Hood has fallen back from his position immedi ately in front of Nashville. That he did this vol untarily we derive ample assurance from the fact that he drove Thomas behind his fortifications around that city and, since then, the latter could have received but few if any re-inforcements — The railroads leading north from Nashville have cm tainly been cut, and fte Cumberland river b’oi’kadr-d, and it is hardly possible that any .urge force could have st-aggled through by any other avenue to the rescue of the beleaguered ciiy. It is fair to suppose that General Hood s lines in front of Nashville were introduced, and the idea that, after having whipped the Yankee army strongly fortified at Franklin, the latter should turn the tables ujron him when positions were reversed is unreasonable, if not absurd — We may rely upon it that Thomas never showed his head outside of his intrenchments nnt " found that Hood was retiring. He then made a great flourish, sounded the charge, leaped bravely over abandoned breastworks, attacked th6 rear guard, with, perhaps, some success, and then,, most consistently, tickled the Yankee nation with a l* e - What may be General Hood a plan of campaign ing overthrown, the machine would soon stop mo ving Lincoln must want money badly, to propose such a scheme for raisiur it. He does want it badly, in spite of ali the boastful assertions of his message. Ho not only wants it badly, but he is at a loss where to get it. The New York Tribune tells us that, during the year 1862, the Yankee na tion exported $18 000,000, and during the year 1863, $58 000,000 more gold than it imported What the excess is this year we are not told, but the Tribune says it is much greater than it was last year.—Rich. Whig. Disappointed. We have an abolition journal—the St. Louis Democrat, of t' e 6th inst.,—before ns, which, af ter assuming Sherman would certainly reach the sea coast, speculates vauntingly as to the results of the campaign. The injury that would be in flicted upon the country along the lino of march, the cities that would probably be sacked, and in jury to our railroad system, are all cited as great Federal advantages: and then, to the extent the fleecing column was able to commit outrage, the enemy have obtained. But the Democrat goes further iu its jubilant inventory, and says: ‘•The moral effect muBt be great. The display of the old flag in the heart of Georgia, where there is supposed, to be considerable latent Union sen timent still existing, must have a most damaging influence upon the fortunes of the Confederacy. Whatevever Union sentiment still lingers in the breasts cf the people will be revived, and made to take form and adion, in the belief that redemption aud protection are near, while the hearts of the rebels will be correspondingly depressed by the consciousness that henceforward their homes are nowhere secure.” In this peculiar the enemy were most grievious- ly disappointed. If they were humbugged into believing that “in the heart of Georgia there was considerable latent Union sentiment still exiting,” ^i-nerience of the invading army among the people must nave . n? thf. delusion. At no point were the people found lacking in leauj to the government ot their choice. Everywhere it was clearly demonstrated that tho expected “Union sentiment in the breast of the people” was a myth. The people were found true to the Confederacy, and enemies of the invaders, and that SHERMAN was satisfied of this, is proven by the treatment of them. If the outrages com mitted, every where and upon everybody, do not establish the fact that the Yankee commander considered he was dealing with enemies, we would ask what proof could he give ? Georgians were trn to their country, and a vindictive wrath was visited upon them Abolitiondom found no sympathizers in tho Empire State of the South. Appeal. ^"Gov.

Forgiveness—the odor which flowers yield when trampled upon. I From the Front. It is reported that Shertnan has sent a force from his army around to tho assis tance of Foster’s troops on the Coosa- whatchie. The enemy’s batteries in that quarter have increased, as evidenced by the continuous shelling of the railroad, doing, however, very litile damage. Our cavalry .continue to scour the country around Hardeaville. In other respects •flairs in that quarter aro unchanged. A gentleman who left Savannah Thurs day night, states that Sherman had sent about three regiments into the city as a guard. The remainder of his army is en camped outRide the city. Sherman, it was stated, had offered the mayor every assis tance in preserving order, and had station ed guards for the protection of private houses, stores and public buildings- So far as our informant had observed citizens were unmolested and private property rcspocted. Our informant states that Sherman de manded tho surrender of tho city of Sa vannah unconditionally, stating that if complied with favorable terms would be showD to the garrison, but if not that he would proceed to take it either by assault, investment., or the more sure process of starvation; aud if taken in that manner no quarter would be given to the garrison, nor would he be responsible for the con duct of his troops. He afterwards sent a copy of Generals Hood’s demand for the surrender of Dalton. Sherman’s Inspector General who was bearer of the flag of truce with this infor- medjone of our officers, Captain Macbeth, that Sherman came very near being killed a day or two previous by a fragment of shell from our side. His body servant, was killed and Sherman barely escaped by dodging behind a rock. Const. 28///. From a gentleman who visited Savannah last Sunday under flag of-truce, we learn that everything 16 perfectly quiet in the city, a d that a number of steamboats 8warmed in the river, something like old time6.

From the Macon Telegraph and Confederate. Civil Disorders. The war is developing an incidental mischief so vast and so serious as to threaten the subversion of public order and private security, and, as a matter of course, the crippling of all roeources for defence against the common enemy. We are credibly informed that representations and complaints pour into the Executive office; from nearly all quarters of the State—from the Tennessee to the Florida border alleging the total insecurity alike ot person and property from numerous bands of desertors and stragglers, who, under every variety of pretence or no pretence at all, commit most shameful acts of violence and spoilation. In the northern counties these banditti are made up of deserters from both the Fed eral and Confederate armies. These rascals roam round frotp house to house—from county to county— plundering the scanty stores of the distressed and im poverished people ; but they have the candor to avow the precise character of their operations. They do not seek to disguise the fact that they are eDgage.l in sim ple robbery. In the lower counties however, the system of univer sal plunder is carried on under various pretences of “impressment.” There it is performed almost wholly by organized bands of stragglers and deserters from the Confederate armies, who are generally mounted and always claim to belong to some command not far from the scene of their iabors. Like the Cowboys and Skinners of the revolution, these scoundrels seek the fairest, fattest and most quiet portion of our territory for the theatre of their ai epr suddenly upon prosperous plantations, and sweep them of the best laboring stock, and such stores of meat, grain and forage as they can carry off, under pretence of a legal impressment. If this be disputed, they drop all attempt at satisfaction and begin to threaten and bluster. At this, too, they are sometimes foiled, if the proprietor show arms and a determination to use them at all hazards; we have heard of instances where a g iug of seven or eight has been frightened off for a rime by therecklosscourage of a single man. But these cases are rare. The maurauders are strong—the planters are uuarmed or peacefully dis posed, and often tlie spoil is unprotected by even a singte’white man. Stripped otits fighting population to fill the army, the most productive regions of Georgia lie at the inercy of these armed and mounted brigands. The plantations which must feed our brave armies in t he field m e now daily exposed to these merciless spoli ations. The gathered crops and the horses and mules which are the dependence for future production, are the constant subjects of these depredations. And even worse than the material loss the insecurity nnd terror produced by such « state of affairs. No man will loug labor if the possession of the fruits of his indus try can not be secured to him. The productive resources ot the country must disappear under this incubus uuless it can be removed and that speedily. We submit that these public disorders show conclu sively the impolicy and suicidial character of the prac tice of “putting everybody who can carry a gun” into the army. Enough of men besides mero octogenarians must be kept at home not only to raise food bnt also to maintain public order. The practical result of send ing men over fifty-five into camp, has been and will continue to be, to let out ofservice a still greater num ber ander forty five, to disturb the quiet of a country stripped of all its natural guardians. But aside from this, it is clear that seme vigorous policy must be adopted to crush this brigaudism and re store public security. We have no more dangerous foes to liberty, independence or property than these gangs ».w —- nnw tfuawiug our vitals’.

To old lady’s “Who’s youin’s?” replied “Wheeler’s cavalry.” “WhargwineT” “To the front.” The old lady put on her spectacles and eyed him in tently, then drawled out. “Mister, some o’ them fellers, you call Wheeler’s hoss critters, been gwine by here every day.
