AN INCIDENT-
A cotiespomlent of flip Lynchburg Republican
I elates the following:
l have heard of one or two incidents of this ex
j [-edition whh h j consider worthy of notice. On
i the evening of the -Hit inst. Col.’Rusk, of Arkan
j s.ib, proceeded up the road to the west of Bath lo
, luun the Capon Bridge, in command of a brigade
con-bung ol four regiments and a battery. When
near the bridge hu saw the camp fires of the ene
my, and advanced to attack them, it seems that
the enemy were aware of his approach, and had
ttken [ osi-ion some distance in the rear, so as to j
ambuscade his command.
Before the Colonel was aware of the position of
the enemy he was tired into. 1 Hiding himself thus i
ambuscaded, Col. Rusk hallooed with all his voice j
as i' to forces vet in the rear: “Bring up the li.th j
and 18th Mtasip&ippi regiments, tiro f.th Texas bri- 1
gade, and hurry up that battery.’' This command
to ideal forces had the proper effect, arid imme- |
i diately the enemy broke and ran like sheep. Rusk,
j however, from the first attack, lost four men killed
and eighteen wounded.
* THE DUTY OF PATRIOTS.
! W. P. Beasley, B ap, the efficient Senator from
Troup county, in an article in the Lagrange Ki -
j porter, addressed to his constituents, reviews the
action of the Legislature at its last session, and
closes with the following patriotic sentiments:
“ It is a time of uncertainty and of exigencies—
the future is dark—amt we should be willing as
patriots to respond to the urgent demands of our
country in purse, (and if necessary in person,) ami
count the cost ami pay the damages afterwards,
i Let us win* are at home and have sons and bro
titers in the tented field, ready to fight our battles,
return to first principles in retrenchment and re
fonn during the existence of the war. Let us who
are engaged in the great industrial pursuits of life,
make our homc-s the homes of industry, economy
and virtue, and we shall fie able to support our ar
mies in the meantime, and when peace is restored,
no shall soon pay the expenses of the war and
again become prosperous and happy under the
i guidance of that Providence w ho controls the des
' tiny of men and nations.”

'Messrs. Editors : —I was much pleased with your
view’s in the last Messenger in reference to extend
ing aid to the poar of Macon. Whilst no one, I
presume, in our city is so destitute of feeling, as
not to relieve, under certain circumstances, and
|
; in a proper way, the most uuworthy, yet there are
many reasons apparent to every thoughtful and
virtuous mind, why they should not be placed upon
a footing even in respect to charity, with the good
| and upright. Such a policy would paralize the
efforts and chill the charity of those who have
; labored, and are willing still to labor to mitigate
| the sorrows and wants of the meritorious poor.
A MOTHER.
Macon, Jan. 18th, 1802.
The Bowling Green correspondent of the Nash
ville Banner says :
“ It may not he amiss, in these trying times, for
us to look to ourselves, and see if there be not
among us native Yankees, whose tiicks in the art
of money making, and whose readiness to turn
every necessity to the best advantage, excel the
sharpest trafficker of old Connecticut. We know
men in this region, and in other places—men, too,
who have been the most violent in their abuse of
the North, and the most profuse in their laudations
of the South—who scruple not at a clear profit of
a hundred per cent, on their wares and products.
This profit, too, comes indirectly from the hard
earnings of the soldier, and the working men.—
These extortioners will talk the loudest of our vic
tories and seemingly appreciate more highly than
any one else the ramparts of safety our troops
have provided between their accumulating treas
ures and an advancing foe, while at the same time
they are availing themselves of the necessities of
the times to wring from our brave defenders their
last dollar.”
After a pretty extensive observation and some
little experience, we have long since settled down
upon the opinion so elegantly expressed by the
profound Mrs. Partington—that “there is a great
| deal of human nnter m man” everywhere.
The ITglit near Prestonburg Continued.
The following confirmation of a telegraphic dis
patch relative lo a brilliant victory achieved by
Gen. Marshall in Kentucky over the Yankees, we
copy from the Lynchburg Republican, of the 17th
instant:
While we are as yet without official intelligence
of the vietory ot General Marshall over the enemy,
near Prestonburg. and have but few additional
particulars of the all'air further than we gave yes
terday, the report then given is confirmed by gen
tlemen who reached here yesterday on the Western
train. T hey state that a cornier from Gen. Mar
shall arrived at Abingdon on Wednesday evening,
just before the passing of the train, with intelli
gence of the battle and victory, which corresponds
in every particular with the statement published
yesterday.
The seen# ts the fight was about eight miles
west of Preaiouburg, and the attack ot the enemy
was not desired by Gen. Marshall at the point it
was made. His object in retreating was to entice
the enemy into a pursuit as far as Prestonburg,
where he had chosen a strong position, and had
he succeeded in reaching it, would have annihila
ted them ; but they were too quick for him. and
succeeded iu overtaking his rear before the desired
position had been reached, when there was no
alternative left him hat to turn and light.
The enemy’s cavalry commenced ihe attack,
and after a very fierce hut short conflict, were re
pulsed, when their infantry coming up, the fight
began in earnest. It continued to rage for three
hours, during w hich time several brilliant charges
were made by our troops, each charge being gal
lantly met by the enemy, but they were finally
compelled to flv, notwithstanding their vast supe
riority of numbers; throwing away, in the'.r pre
cipitate flight, guns, swords, pistols, knapsacks,
and everything else that impeded their flight
Their exhibition ot fleetness is said to have lar
outstripped the famous Bull Run stampede. -
Caiucroii-s Ilesigualiou.
The New York Herald says, editorially, of the
resignation of Secreta v Cameron :
Lie change, in a very remarkable degree, com
mands the public approbation. It is a change
w fitch vindicates the conservative war policy of
t ie 1 resident on the slavery question, and which j
Ming?, the \\ ur Office and the leading Generals of j
our army into that happy accord which is abso
lutely indispensable to a vigorous prosecution of
the war.
Home two months ago the fact began to be made
manilott taut Mi. I ame on had become a zealous
convert to the radical war policy of the Abolition
ists—the liberation and arming of the slaves of
the South. j

The following report of the Chief Engineer ol
fire Eire Department was received and ordered to
be spread on the minutes:
. Eon. Mayor and Council ,
City of Macon.
Gfntlkmen—ln accordance with my duty, I
1 1 ;x% o the honor to submit my unnual Report upon
the condition of tbe Eire Department, together
with a statement td the number of Fires and
alarms that have occurred during the year ending
the 18th inst., their origin, amount of propertv
destroyed, amount insured, Ac. Ac.
Our national dilliculiies at one time threatened
almost the complete dist uption of the Department.
Many ol our brave arid gallant members enlisted
in the service of their country at an early period
ot the war. Others from time to time have joined
the ranks. Its officers and members have served
with distinction upon the battle-field, and many
valuable livt-s from the Department have been of
fered up upon the altar of their country. I am
happy to state that numbers of our citizens have
come forward and enrolled their names, and at
this time we have almost the usual number of
| members.
| The Department is now composed of the foliow
! ing companies :
j Engine Cos. A o. 1,
A. Patterson, Foreman,
Geo. Smith, Ass’t do.,
has 00 members, 600 feet hose good and indifferent
Engine Cos. No. 2,
if. N. E 115,... .Foreman,
O. Machold, Ass’t do.
lias 20 members, 000 feet hose good and indifferent.
Engine Cos. No. 8,
James A. Simpson, Foreman,
Frank Henry, Asa’t do.
lias 70 members, 600 ft. hose good and indifferent.
j
Hook and Ladder Cos. No. 1,
J. E. Wells,.. . .Foreman,
J. V. Grier, A.-s’t do.
has 20 members and necessary hooks, ladders, Ac.
The Engines and the Hose and Ladder Truck
are in good order, and are always kept so by their
Engineers.
The Department has been called our, during the
j year 20 times—l.l fires and five alarms. The
origin of the Fires as near as could be ascertained
was as follows:
Fnknown, 1
Chimney, 2
Accident, 8
Incendiary, y
The cause of the alarms were from
j burning Chimneys, 8; Fire out of town, 1 ; Ciazy
; Woman, 1.
Amount of property destroyed, about SBO,OOO
Upon which was an Insurance of 24,800
Ain’t of loss, $.32,800
Our City has been free from tires for some time
past, which should be a subject of congratulation ;
the cause of this may be attributed to the vigil
ance and watchfuluess of our cilizens generally,
but particularly ot the City \ oluuteei (<uar<i.
All the Cisterns are in good order, with the ex
ception of two —one at the intersection of Fourth
and Walnut street, and one on Poplar street, near
the City Hall.
In conclusion, 1 would say that the same good
feeling, harmony and energy characterizes the
Department now as in former days.
Respectfully submitted,
G. S. OBEAR,
Chief Engineer.

The Norfolk correspondent of the Atlanta Don

our gallant friend:
Our noble Captain, L. T. Doy.il, arrived hole
yesterday evening from a short \is,t to the “loved
oue3 at borne” in glorious old Georgia. 1 venture
tbe assertion that there is not another Captain in
the Confederate service who i? more highly appre
ciated by ifie men under their command than G.»p-j
tain Doyal is by bis men ; aud were such the ease, ',
ifie South would not lack for volunteers after the
expiration of the terms ot ifie twelve mouth.-

under such a man as Captain 1)., than to be at
