Rout, Ga., Feb. 6, 1864.-tf.
From the Front.
Monday Noon.—Reliable information
has been received here that the enemy
some 8000 strong aro in Will’s Valley in
the vicinity of Lebanon. They have
one Division of Infantry under Col.
Osterhaus and a Brigade of Cevalry
commanded by Gen. Wilder. Col. Kel
ler had a skirmish with them last Fri
day this side of Lebanon and they re
tired through that town, which Keller
was still holding up to last accounts.
Ample preparations, we understand,
are being made to capture the entire
party if they come on this way. A
Yankee Surgeon captured near Leba
non was brought up on the Boat Sat
urday. It is not likely that the Yan
kees will come here in a hurry.
M&'Bithop Geo. F. Pierce, in reply
to an invitation from prominent citi
zens of Augusta, has consented, as
soon as a few present engagements are
disposed ot, to commence addressing
the people of the Confederacy upon
their “duty to themselves, the govern
ment and to God.” We doubt not he
will accomplish inuch good, and we
wish other prominent men would en
gage in the sarno good work.
Arrest of Gen. Toombs.
We learn from the Richmond papers,
says the Augusta Chronicle, that Gene-
'ral (or Colonel) Robert Toombs, has
been put under arrest at Savannah, by
order of Gen. Beauregard, for the ex-
.pfessioh of treasonable sentiments.
•Gen. Brown’s Brigade.—This com
mand of Tennessee Troops arrived here
last Saturday and are now encamped in
and near the town. They are a fine
looking set of men, nearly all young,
hale and hearty. They are comfortably
clad and, if they have a chance, will
without doubt, sustain the deservedly
high reputation they have acquired for
fihting.

According to the moot reliable infor.
matiod that we can get some 6,000 or
8,000 Yankees crossed the Tennessee at
Larkin’s Ferry. It is said, by a prison
er, to be Sherman’s corps. We are
permitted to make the following ex
tracts from a private letter of a very
reliable gentleman living in Centre:
Cherokee Co., Ala., Feb. 4, '64.
* * * * * *
The reports from the Yankees to-day
state that the fight I mentioned in a
previous letter, did not lost as long as
we first heard it did. Our troops at
tacked the Yankees in yills Creek
bottom, 3 miles below Lebanon, at the
old Billy Rhodes' place, and fought
them about an hour, killing some five
or six, and wounding several. We lost
none. They were about to flunk our
forces, some 600 strong, and they retir
ed; the Yanks then retired through
and beyond Lebanon, and our troops
fell back, to the foot of the mountain;
to Kirby’s Spring and to Collins. The
Yanks returned to Lebanon about sun
down and remained.there last night.
News reached here last night that
one of our citizens who had been, for
several days, a prisoner in the Yankee
lines, had reached home, and states
that the Yankee forces were 25,000
strong, and are making for Rome via
Blue Pond. We have a good many re
fugees from DeKalb, and they know
the author of this statement, and say
he is reliable. Just before sunset this
evening the firing of cannon was dis
tinctly hoard in the direction of Leba
non, and it is supposed that it was Rod
dy attacking them.
Some two or three companies ot our
cavalry -have gone up to (Juthay’% Gap,
or the Narrows below Heme, to hold
them in check, supposing they will
pass that.way en route for Rome.

A Juil Breaker killed at Centre, Ala.
We are permitten to publish tho fol
lowing postscript to a private letter to
a gentleman in this city, dated Centre,
Ala., Feb. 3d. We are glad that on*
rascal has been arrested in bis mad ca
reer. even, though it was in the summa
ry manner detailed below. If every
man was as determined as Mr. Daniel
to maintain his rights and sustain the
law, there would soon be less rascality
in*thecountry: *
P. S' —We had an exciting affair in
town last night. There were two sol-
diegs, by the name of Hutton and Wig
gins, in- jail for iobbery. Last night
four men cume to the jail and demand*
ed of the Sheriff, Sci. Daniel, the keys.
Two of them caught him by the coat
collar, presented their pistols to his
breust, and gave him two minutes to
deliver them. Mrs. Daniel became
alarmed and delivered them; two then
went up stairs and two remained be
low. Mr. D. Look his stand and as
they came down, the two that remain-
pd below went out, and os the others
passed out, lie shj?t two or three times,
killed.; jhe /Jeader dead, and wounded
one of .tfi$) prisoners. The wounded
man get 'away, but was tracked over a
quarter of a mile by his blood. The
name of the man that was killed is
William J. Hutton; he told Daniel be
- fore he went up stairs, that he was the
man that broke open the Rome jail a
short time since.

The Rome Female College.
We regret to learn that this Institu
tion has censed to exist, and the Halls
once dedicated to learning have passed
into private hands.
It was founded upon the donations
and fostered by the patronage of a lib
eral public, who hoped that it would
become, as it promised, a fountain of
knowledge to the daughters of the pres
ent and future generations. But alas I
it has fallen. The stream of know)'
edge has ceased to flow, and the hopes
Of its founders and patrons bavo been
blosted.-
This beautiful site and handsome im
provements have been sold, and all the
apparatus of the Institution have been
removed to a distant section of the
country, and the question now presents
itself to those who were interested
what’havebeen done with the.proceeds
of the sale? Have they been deposited
subject to the order of those who con
tributed so liberally to its foundation
or have they boon reserved for the pur
pose of founding another Institution
upon a firmer basis after the war is
over?
The publio know its rise and pro
gress, but the history of its downfall
has not yet been written. Will tho
Trustees, who had it in special charge
gratify its friends and patrons by mak
ing up the record ?

Honor to Tennesseeaot.
To tho “Volunteer State” belong the
honor and the glory of having inaugin
rateS the glorious revival that is now
spreading like wild fire throughout the
entire army of Tennessee. “Re enlist-,
ing for the war”, is now the cry of
Johnston’s army.
Already the Barae spirit is manifested
in Gen. Lee’s army also—the North
Carolinians taking the initiative. What
a glorious “change has come over the
spirit of tho dreams” of the despond
ent in the lost few weeks, and this be
cause, the chivalrous, brave and self-
sacrificing veterans ef the army have,
with an exulting shout, proclaimed
their determination never to leave the
field “till tho last armed foe expires.”
The army ever has been far ahead of
the citizens at. home in hopefulness
spirit and determination, but this is the
crowning glory of the whole war, and
makes victory certain in the coming
campaign, provided the great mass of
the people will second, support and
carry out, with spirit and onergy, the
requirements of the government. The
home duties are no less * important than
those of the field. Our army must be
fed and clothed—skulks must be forced
to their places of duty—opposition to
the government must be stopped, and
all the laws of Congress faithfully «x
ecuted.
