THE NEWS,
From every direction, is highly interesting and
important, and we may prepare our minds sot
very startling events during the next few weeks.
We would urge upon the people the exercise of
the greatest vigilance, calmness and fortitude.—
To discourage all sensation rumors of whatever
character. Much of our space is occupied by the
very interesting letter of Mr. Alexander to the
Savannah Republican. Great as were the battles
at Shiloh, on Sunday and Monday, they are doubt
less but preliminary to the one yet to be fought in
that section. Roth armies are being largely re-iu
foreed and are preparing for the death struggle.
JOHN HAMPDEN.
Over this signaturo a very extraordinary article
appears in the Telegraph of yesterday. We de
plore the publication of all such. It is a question
of grave import whether cities that it takes a
century to build should be destroyed in a dav?—
Our space will not permit us to enlarge. “Suffi
cient unto the day is the evil thereof.” Let us
not anticipate calamities that may never come, but
Jo all in our power to guard against their occur
rence.

DARING ACT.
' V e we had & conversation with a gentleman
who arrived here from Chattanooga this morning,
aajs the Augusta Sentinel of Monday. He gives
norite additional and interesting particulars in r,-
gard to the attempted capture of an engine and
cars on the State road on Saturday last. While
the train hands were at breakfast at Rig Shantv,
B«*me unknown persons uncoupled the luur foie’
most ears of the train, and without being perceived
started the engine, and left at a “railroad double
quw k up the road. Rat a few moments elapaed
before the theft was discovered, when the engineer
of the stolen train started with a hand car in pur
•suit. Running his hand-car to Alutoona, he there
found the little engine used in transporting iron,
Ac , to Etowah, fired up, and jumping ou board of
her, he made the little thing ‘Show her paees” in
good style until he arrived at Kingston. Here he
obtained a larger and better engine, and began
crowding hard on the dying fugitive. At Calhoun
ne met the down train and giving the alarm, called
on the engineer to follow him.
Hoth engines then started on at their utmost
speed and soon learned they were rapidly gaining
(on the robbers; stution after station was passed
and the excitement of tfie novel chase grew fast
and furious—at every station the gratifying intelli
gence reached them that they were 6, 1 o or lo
i minutes behind. The whole country was in a
hla e ol excitement as the alarm became general
and crowds w*;re assembled at every Jwpot. On
sped pursuer and puisued uutil about a mile be
; low Ringgold on Saturday afternoon the missing
en.-.iue toiiud on the track uninjured and out
ol wood arid water, while the robbers had taken
to the woods where an immediate pursuit of
ihrm became general by the citizens of the coun
try. During their progress over the road the
bridge burners had tried every means they could
to impede the progress of the pursuers. They cut
the telegraph wire, uncoupled a car and left it on
the track, threw out cross ties across the track,
etc., but these obstructions availed but little.
On Saturday morning eight of the party were
arrested and after being soundly whipped, con
fessed that they had been sent out from Shelby
ville by the Federal? tor the purpose of burning
the bridges and tearing up the track of the railroad
I so as to prevent reinforcements being sent on to
j one army at Corinth. They state the party num
bered 22. The balance were still at large but
! would probably be arrested in a short tune* This
was certainly one ol the most bold and reckless
feats ol the war, and had they succeeded m their
I Jeaigns would have been ot incalculably injury to
| our cause. Tpo much credit cannot be awuided
to the engineer for Lis prompt and energetic es
torts to overhaul the perpetrators of this daring
outrage. We hope the government will make
quick work with these marauders and that their
| speedy and condign punishment will strike terror
to the hearts of all spies and traitors we mav have
among us.
PLOW DEEP.
Such is the admonition of several of our
exchanges in prospect of a dry summer from
the present redundance of rain. As far
mers, we suppose, have already planted most
ot thetr corn, we would make a suggestion
based upon a very limited experience as a
planter. \\ hen the corn is fairly up and
large enough to work, run a coulter or root
er on each side as deep .as 10 or I*2 inches,
if practicable. This will stir the subsoil,
without throwing it to the surface, and fur
nish au opportunity to the early roots of the
corn to find moisture and nourishment from
descending rains which will be longer re
tained by this process and also prevent the
laud from washing so badly. Try the ex
periment on a few acres, if preferred.
The course of the Athens, Macon and
Augusta factories in fixing the price of their
cotton goods at moderate rates, has met with
universal commendation, Mr. McCullough,
near Gladden’s Grove, Fairfield District, S.
C., is manufacturing and selling cotton yarn
at $1 a bunch. This is a fair, even a liberal
price, for the consumer to pay, considering
the price which he has to take for his cotton.
(Vtarleston Courier.
Would it not be well for the Georgia fac
©
tones to imitate thepatriotic course of Mr.Mc
Cullough. Our soldiers need socks. Our wives
and daughters are willing to knit them.—
The factories throughout the country should,
in a corresponding spirit of liberality, aid
this good work. There is much deep and
smothered indiguation all over the land
against the greedy extortioners. Let the
Courts and Grand Juries make diligent in
quiry in regard to the matter, and bring guil
ty parties under inflictions of the penal code,
or the people, it is believed, will take the
remedy into their own hands and commit aets
of vengeance, which every good citizen
should discourage and deplore. The extor
tioners may be sure of one thing, that our
soldiers will not he permitted to tight their
battles with bare backs and empty stomachs
whilst there arc goods and provisions in the
country.

To the Citizens Assembled at City Hall:
(j e n ilk mev : We, the undesigned, feeling a
vital interest in every movement to secure a char
acter and nationality to our struggling land, beg
leave to commend the object of your assembling
this rooming, and, with united voice, urge you to
prompt and energetic action to accomplish the end
proposed.
Inteuiperauee, always an evil of great magni
iu-ie, has become so vast in its proportions as to
I threaten not only the efficiency of our armies but
i the happiness and security of social life. It pre
vails to an alarming extent in our community, and,
:as elsewhere, is attended with a melancholy train
:ot evils. It is a great curse in peaceful times, but
iu the midst of the excitement of war, when man/
« of the restraints of cultivated life arc hrok< n down,
and the arm of the law is too weak to suppress
j crime, its destructiveness is appalling We need,
. * iS females, the protection of sobrietv, as well *us
that ot manly courage. We are anxious and dis
tressed at the exposure of our husbands, sons,
i brothers and fiiends to this powerful temptation—
and representing intemperance to be the greatest
obstacle to our hope of an early peace and ac
knowledged nationality, inasmuch as it paralyzes
the •strength of armies, destroys public virtue, de
grades private character, and poisons the fountains
of domestic happiness; we hope we are not trails'
grossing the limits of our appropriate sphere when
we implore you to adopt such measures as may at
once and most effectually prevent the evii in the

Gn motion, the memorial was referred to the
committee on business.
The committee then retired, during their ab
sence the meeting was addressed b? the Rev Da
vtd Wills and W. T. Napier, Esq.
The committee then submitted a repoit, which,
after amendment, on motion of Dr. Branham, was
adopted with one dissenting voice, as follows:
1. Resolved, That the Governor of Georgia be
requested to declare martial law in the city of
Macon and county oi Bibb, .-o far onlv as to re
strain or suspend the sale of spirituous liquors by
retail or otherwise— except for medicinal purposes.
2. Resolved, That should the Governor decline
to act in the premises, the Mayor and Council are
requested to consider the subject and if they have
the legal power, to cancel and recall all licenses
granted, authorizing the retail of spirituous liquors,
to do so.
3. Resolved, That in case the Mayor and Coun
cil should be Satisfied that they have not the legal
right to revoke and recall the licenses issued, they
ami requested to pass an ordinance requiring ail
places where spirituous liquors are retailed to be
closed, and no liquors retailed after sun uown or
before nine o’clock in the morning, or at any time
during the Sabbath day, or fix such other hours
for its retail as they may think best.
4. Resolved, That in case’none of the foregoing
resoultions can be carried out, the Mayor and
Council are requested to confer with the parties
in Macon to whom liceuses have been issued, and
ascertain w hat conditions can be made with them
to close their establishments, and report the result
to another meeting of citizens to be called by the
Mayor, and that, in the meantime, all retailers are
requested to suspend their sales.
The committee recommend that the communi
cation from the ladies of Macon be published with
the proceedings of this meeting.
On motion the meeting then adjourned.

The telegrams for the last week have annoyed
and puzzled us not a little. As the one from Mr. A.
to the Republican, bears no date, it is not satisfac
tory. We suppose the following from the Rich
mond Examiner, of Friday, it reliable as far as
it goes. The Federalists have possession of the
wires in the west. The Examiner says :
An official dispatch was received yesterday from
General Beauregard at the office of the Adjutant
Sfleueral.
The dispatch states that our forces had beeu en
gaged by General Buell near Pittsburg; that the
action lasted until one o’clock of‘ the day; that
Buell was heavily reinforced, ami that our forces
had fallen back upon Corinth, the retreat being
conducted in good order.
The dispatch is scant of particulars, but its tone
is not discouraging, (fen. Beauregard states that
his chief regret in falling back was the necessity
it occasioned for abandoning a large quantity of
“arms and munitions’' that he had taken from the
enemy in previous action. Nothing is said of the
abandonment of guns.
Thf Virginia’s Second Cruise.— The iron-clad
steamer Virginia, accompanied by the other vessels
of our little fleet, started out from Norfolk at an
earl? hour yesterday morning, and soent the da?
quite profitably among the Yankee vessels in the
Roads. Two brigs and two schooners were rap
tured up to six o’clock in the evening, though no
engagement had taken place. There seemed to
be a decided unwillingness on the part of the
Federal ships, (the boasted Monitor included,) to
come w ithin range of the Virginia’s guns. Never
theless, the capture of four vessels was a good
day’s work. We refer the reader to the telegraph
column for the latest news. —Richmond Dispatch

Bombardment of Fort Pulaski.
f i he enemy, being all ready, opened fire
on l'ort Pulaski, soon utter sunrise vester-
I day inornitig. The deep uofes of the heavy |
artillery were distinctly heard in the city, as
jlhey came booming in rapid succession up
jtne Saxaonah. The fire seemed to proceed
entirely from the batteries ou Tvh.v 1-laud
1 hey are nearly all masked behind the trees
•»r saud hill , but line the entire west side •>t
•he island from King’s Laudiug on the!
S-mth to the Martello Tower ou the north, a
distance of about a mile and a half. A
well as could be ascertained, they are nine
in number, and well supplied with guu.sand ■
mortars ot a heavy calibre, ’ihey command
the entire eastern, uud a good portion of the
southern side of the Fort, and are distant
Lorn little over a mile or miles. There are
eight or ten vessels of large size lying oft
! lybee, seaward, but they are too remote to
, take part iu the action.
1 hese formidable engines of war opened
upt.ii the tort in rapid succession, and during
the entire day the tire was kept up with
hardly a minute’s intermission. The enemy
have gone to work with a determination
reduce the work it energy can accomplish
the task. It is estimated, by patties who
were near enough to hear every report, that
from the commencement until dark their
j shots must have averaged from four to live
per minute. They were fired, too, with much
accuracy, for the shells generally exploded
’"■e -fly over, or in the immediate neighbor
hood of, the Fort. The flagstaff was shot oil
. early iu the day.
The Fort replied leisurely, but with great
regularity, throughout the day. We spent
au hour of the afternoon at Cawston’s Bluff
-the nearest accessible point on the main
land, to tlie scene of action, and from an ele
vated position viewed the action at a distance
of some seven miles. The Fort and the
filing of every gun were distinctly visible.
A storm of iron hail seemed to fill the air,
judging Lum the immense clouds of smoke
that continued to float above the scene. —
Our fire seemed to proceed chiefly from the
moitars outside the Fort and the parapet
guns, showing that our troops were not afraid
to expose themselves at tin* posts of danger.
Me are glad to know that Major Olmstead
is economising his amunition and the ener
gies of his men ; whilst the amount of pow-
Icr and bills expended by the enemy must
be immense.
As we have no communication with the
fort, it is impossible to say anything of re
sults. It was hoped the commander of the
garrison would succeed in getting a messen
ger to town during the night. At the hour
we write, 10 p. m., the firing is still kept up
without any apparent abatement. It is a
source of much annoyance that we are so sit
uated as to be wholly without particulars,
through every confidence is felt in the abili-
I ty ot the Fort to stand the seigo, at least so
long as they have iu their magazine a shot
and the powder to drive it.
It is confidently stated by the pickets on
Skidaway, who were in full view of the Fort,
some eight miles distant, that a Yankee ves
sel was set on fire and burnt by a shot from
i our guns, about mid day. \Ye heard noth
ing of the circumstance during our visit to
Causton’s Bluff.
Heavy cannonading was also kept up:
.throughout the day yesterday iu the direc-l
tion of lied Bluft or Blufton, in South Caro

B* Fhe firing kept up with unabated
fury until after dark, but at the hour we go
to press (B*} p. m.,) it has ceased altogether !
Savannah Republican , Wth.
[From our Special Army Correspondent.]
Corinth, April , No general en
gagement has taken place since the memora
hie struggle of the Gth and 7th. We still
hold part of the battle field, and considera
ble skirmishing is going on daily, in which
the Confederates nearly always get the best.
Ihe Federal official papers found on the
battle field show that their expeditionary
forces on the river, exclusive of General
Buell’s command, amounted to sixty-one
thousand.
Packages of poisoned balls were also found
ou the field among the ammunition of the
enemy. It has been definitely ascertained,
by scientific analysis, that quantities of qui
nine, which the enemy allowed to be smug
gled across the lint? into the Confederate
States, contain poisonous adulterations.
The towns of Huntsville and Decatur, in
Alabama, have been occupied by the enemy.
I his w T as expected by our Generals, and
should create no alarm. When the Federals
came to the bridge at Decatur the draw was
raised by the officer in command, to prevent
them crossing, whereupon the enemy threat
ened to shell the town if it was not let down.
The citizens, desirous of avoiding the fire of
the enemy, prevailed on the officer to let it
down.
General Wallace, of the Federal army,
was killed in the late battle.
I regret to inform you that Gen. Gladden
died to-day of tin* wounds received on the
Gth iust.
Gen. Bragg has been made a full General.
The Confederate army is iu excellent spir
its, and ready to renew the light. P. W. A.—

A Singular Prophecy. —The following circum
stance, says the Mobile Advertiser, recently oc
curred at Pensacola,’ and ns truth ia vouched for
by a reliable officer of the army :
A soldier in the Confederate service fell into a
long and profound sleep, from which his comrades
vainly essayed to arouse him. At last he woke up
himself. He then stated that he should die the
next afternoon at 4 o’clock, for it was so revealed
to him in his dream. He said in the last week in
the month of April would be fought the greatest
and bloodiest battle of modern times, ajid that
early in Mav peace would break upon the laud
more suddenly and unsuspectedly than the war
had done in the begining. The first p.irt of the
prophetic dream has been realized, for the soldier
died the next day at 4 o’clock P. M. Will the rest
be in April and May? Let believers ia dreams
wait and see.

Above all he was a Christian, having in
his youth made a public profession, and

ot political life sometimes betrayed him into
seeming uncharitableness of temper. Per

bearing of a true gentleman. But he has
passed away in the midst of his usefulness,
