BUCK OR PURPLE SCUPPERNONG GRAPEB.
We have been presented with specimens of these
,-ipes, which are now in full perfection, and just
i.ihrred from the vines The fact that we have a
r jiw of very superior quality, ripening in the
ildle of October, is worthy of being known.—
’llxs are from the vineyard of Col. John H. Ruth
fop.n, who procured several of the vines from
Grib Carolina, which have just commenced bear
,, They differ from the common grape of that
L ;iil heretofore cultivated by being slightly oval,
l ire saccharine, and ripening some weeks later
linn tuiy other grape. The common black Scup
pernong has proved to be a superior wine grape
to that of the white from the strength or body of
ju product.
The crape of Col. Rutherford has a great advan
tage in nine nuking, from the lateness of the sea
son at which wine can be made ; also a great ac
ts. ion both for the table and as a rare article
for market.

BRING IN YOUR PERSIMMONS.
The other day rather a green merchant was Indus
'■ oualy offering his basket of persimmons in the
streets at only twenty-five cents a dozen. This
price might astonish ’possums, but not very much
Web people as have been paying four dollars a
hushel for stringy sweet potatoes anti fifty cents a
iozen for such apples and peaches as would make
1 pig squeal to look, at them. They generally met
ll; * most ready sale with the sick soldiers at the
hospital.
Tt id quite probable that the merchant found
customers who were fools enoilgh to pay his price
!or them, as they were quite as well wortli it as
a *ny other articles were at the prices at which
have beeu sold.
ia Richmond, however, they can beat us in the
price for apples. It being the capital of the coun
t:J\ they have a full richt to do so. The Whig of
the 7t,h inst., says:
ljear Apples. The fact deserves to be record
ed that some ot the Italian frnit venders in this
mty, are asking six dollars per dozen for apples !
We would not have believed that a price so un
precedented would have been demanded here bv
the most rapacious costermonger bad not the in
formation been communicated by a veracious
voracious) gentleman.
Col. Rceben B. Nisbet, formerly of this city t
&ndsou of Judge E. A. Nisbet, has been reported
and generally believed to be killed in the battle at
Snarpsburg. A letter has been received from him
by his wife, by which it appears he was severely
bounded and takeu prisoner, and is now m ETa-
Kerstown, properly attended to, and will be able
leave on parole in a few weeks. This intelli
gence was almost as unexpected as it is gratifying
lo bis friends and relatives.
Federal Prisoners, that have for some
totaebeen in this city, have all left except between
tw enty and thirty of the sick, of which several
LdVe since died. About two hundred altogether
died here.
AID FOR OUE SOLDI FES
Vv c sere gratified to see this iaudabie work enter
ed into In t fry of the State by public
meetings, us options of various kinds, and etpe
«iaiiy by the iadies—and by whose exertions and
labor, no doubt, the principle results Will be nc
< ompii'he.J. Tcey need no appeals to be made to
them— they have lather?, brothers, son*, and hus
band* in the army, and all they can do will be
done from the spontaneous feelings of their na
ture?. W* re the means in their power which are
held in the iron grasp of the flint hearted extor
tioner and speculator, our soldiers would not suffer
ana no fears could lie entertained of a successful
ter.jinaiion of onr contest for independence. As
it a, we have first to consider where are the
means for relief—how are they to be clothed and
fed while the Shylocka hold the key to almost eve
ry necessary which they require? They can gath
er up many surplus articles from their households
id the way of blankets and clothing—but this will
be a mere fraction for their substantial wants.—
Cloth and Leather are indispensable and how are
they be obtained, or rather at what price? An
army cannot be sustained at their present prices,
und a stronger arm than theirs should interpose.—
The ladies of Augusta have appealed to their fac
tories for goods to clothe the suffering soldier and
they publish the reply: “ Attend the auctions, and
you can buy them,” thu3 putting them, in their
patriotic efforts for the relief of the soldier, in
competition with a hearliess crowd of speculators ?
We do not like to despair of success, but so long
as the monied power continues to noid hs sway in
this manuor, there remains little hope of it.
LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM THE WEST.
We give below a dispatch from a Northern
source of a greai battle, which was being fought,
lof which we have no other intelligence. If the
account be correct, or otherwise, it leaves us in
painful suspense of the result. That such a battle
i has been fought is altogether probable :
Richmond, Oct. 18. —Northern papers of the 10th
1 have been received. Dispatches from Kentucky
jsay that Bragg’s army attacked two divisions ot
McCook’s corps, near Perryville, on the Bth. The
i fii-hting was desperate, Gens. Jackson, of Ken
; lucky, and Terrell, of Virginia, both Federal?,
were killed. Gen. Sheridan, of Illinois, and Ros
seau reported killed. The Union loss estimated at
two Miousami killed and wounded. Rebel loss not
| ascertained. McCook was heavily reinforced, and
! the battle resumed.
The latest intelligence from the army of
Gen. Lee will be found in his Official Report, dat
ed on the 2d October. From this, it would appear
J that there is no Federal force south of the f’oto
I mac.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
Co.NNASKNA, Oct., 1862.
This region of country has been afflicted with
more than a three months’ drought. Vegetation
of all kinds is measurably dried up and killed out,
at least, for this year. Some of the grasses may
re-appear in the Spring to regale the eyes of the
husbandman and his hungry stock. At present
the winter prospect for both, in many parts of
Bartow and other counties, is verv unpromising.
Here, as elsewhere, the price of all kinds of pro
visions rules high. There is quite a panic in rela*-
lion to salt all over the country. In traveling
through Middle and Upper Georgia, I have observ
ed an unusual number of large and thrifty looking
hog?, and presume ihere will be no scarcity of
meat if salt can be procured to save it.
There is one thing which 1 trust farmeis will
not overlook. That is, to sow largely of small
grain, particularly wheat. I know the temptation
to sell at present high prices, will cause many not
to reserve a full supply for seed. When, however,
the wants of the country are considered, and when
ic is also known that even the poorest specimens
: ol‘ the last crop of wheat will germinate, while it
is worth little for flour, it i3 hoped a large amount
will be cast into the ground, iu trust, that Heaven
| will make the next season more propitious than
; the past. Nor should the thorough and careful
preparation of the soil be overlooked, as it will
amply repay the husbandman, by saving seed in
sowing, and increasing the yield at harvest. My
small experiment in rice culture is quite satisfacto
ry, and I believe it will prove a most valuable crop
in every part of Georgia if properly cared for.—
Nor should the ground-pea be neglected. One
acre is worth, iu fattening hogs, five acres of corn,
;at least. Patch-work, in the house and on the
farm, should be the policy, during the war, at
| least.
Speaking of the war, no one, I presume, is so
insane as to suppose it will close before the middle
of next year, if even then. Mow important, there
fore, that all our resources should be husbanded
and every effort made to meet the wants of our
soldiers and their wives and children; many of
whom, I know', are in circumstances weil calculat
ed to excite our liveliest sensibilities, K.

( OL. PKEPLES.
Messrs. Editors: I, with many others, was grati
fied at the announcement of Col. Cincinnati
Peeples’ name yesterday in the Telegraph, by a
correspondent signing himself ‘'Bibb.”
“Bibb” is right. We want just such a man a?
Col. in the Senate from this District. He
is possessed of talent* of a high order, fine intelli
gence, great industry, and withal, the most un
blemished character.
Let the people, therefore, of Monroe unite in
presenting his same, and I vouch for it, the people
of this district w ill ratify his nomination at the
ballot box.
This is no time for experiments with new men.
Col. Peeples has served with distinction in the
State Senate from one of the upper districts, and
proved himself to be one of the most valuable
members.
We shall need all the experience we can get in
the next Legislature, and have now an opportunity
to secure the services of a useful man. Col. Pee

Return of Paroled Prisoners.— Three or four
steamers, loaded with paroled Confederate prison
ers, ascended James river to Aiken s Landing, on
Sunday afternoon, under tlag ot truce. Ihe pris
oners were all sent over to Richmond that evening,
and some of them came over to Petersburg yes
terday morning. There were thirty or more of the
12th regiment, taken prisoners at Sharpsburg, and
several hundred Georgians, all of whom were sent
through Baltimore to Port Delaware. They speak
in indignant terms of the treatment they received
at this tort. It is filthy and lousy—more suitable
tor the inhabitation of hogs than human beings.—
1 he daily rations were so small, that a mau with a
good apetite could easily eat six of them. The
guard are very strict with the prisoners, and fre
quently under very slight pretence, knock them
down with the butts of their muskets, or kick and
beat them. They all came back well clothed, the
good people of Baltimore having sent them shoes,
clothes, hats, &c., by the box full. After being
taken to Port Delaware, an opportunity was offer
ed all those who were so depose to take the oath
of allegiance to the Lincoin Government, and we
regret to learn, two of the 12th regiment took it.

In obedience to a cali made by the minister, on
Sunday, the 6ih instant, at the close of the servi

and as many ladies met at lo o’clock the r.axt dav
to take into consideration the ueceasitio ol our
soldiers, and to see what could be done tor their
relief. When, on motion, Mr. B. A. Coachman
was called u> the chair, and J. P. Dickenson ap
pointed Secretary.
The chairman stated the object of the meeting,
whereupon Mr. H. Q. Crawford was appoi to
solicit subscriptions, and obtained ovei f worth
of pants, shoes, drawers, shir, -jck?, Mr.
Crawford said, before taking his set% ; .it some
thing more ought to be done at once, and r :oposeii
to be one of five to give fifty dollar* eaci* • ' ich
proposition was substituted by one fi <vn . udg. A.
A. Allen, to be one of seven to g : e nund and

to do all in their power to make our brave soldi ■>
as comfortable as possible, and the ladies seemed
even more willing than the men to deny them

Wise Guard*.
Oglethorpe, Ga., Oct. 4th, 1802.
A little more than a year ago, the Wise
Guards left their homes to enter the service
of the country with full ranks. Their num
bers were greatly diminished by the rigor of
the climate in North Western Virginia, the
held of their earliest duties. T hey enjoyed
a brief respite from sickness and death while
stationed at. Savannah and while at Fort Pu
laski. At the fall of that Fort they lost one
of their companions in arms. Private T. J.
Moulton was mortally wounded while gal
lantly standing to the guns, and died where
a soldier glories in falling—beneath the folds
of his country’s flag, and upon the scene of
strife. During the long captivity of the
company, and. subsequent to their release,
other gullaut spirits fought their last tight,
and won their last battle. William 11.
Brantly, llodger Barfield, R. M. Brooks,
Jno. R. Grover, and P. A. Waddill are no
more True and gallant soldiers! They
have gone to join that band of patriots and
martyrs who have sealed their devotion to
duty and country with their iives. Last in
this sad catalogue is Ist Lieut. Theodorick
Wingfield Mon fort, who departed this life
on Sunday evening, the 28th of September,
1862, at Butler, Taylor county Ga., sur
rounded by his friends and in the bosom of
his grief-striken and devoted family, aged
thirty-nine years. Lieut. Monfort’s death
was caused by the barbarity of his inhuman
captors. In delicate health he wts taken
from Fort Sandusky and placed on the open
deck of a boat to be conveyed to Vicksburg
for exchange. Proper food, shelter and
medicine were denied him, although the ene
my had abundant supplies, they would .mid ,
nothing to his own entreaties or those of his
friends, neither would they suffer him to
supply himself by purchases of the iniispen- ]
sable articles, while they robbed him of his
money, the toys he had for his children, and
the presents for his wife. This barbarity
uuparalelled in civilized warefare should in
crease our determination to have satisfaction
for the lingering torture and wilful murder
of one who has done as much as any oue
man in the formation, care and preservation
of our corps. Farewell, brave companions !
We shall see you no more at the bivouaek.
in the camp, at parade or upon the field of
battle. We will strive however at the final
Roll call, where the secrets of all hearts shall
be disclosed, and the great Captain who laid
down his life that we might live shall give
command.
Resolved, That in the death of our com
panions, the army has lost brave soldiers,
the country devoted patriots and useful citi
zens, and their families have been bereft of
kind husbands, dutiful sons, fond fathers
and indulgent masters.
Resolved, That we will cherish their
memoriei and emulate their virtues—their
cenotaphs are erected in our hearts.
Resolved, That these proceedings be en
tered on the company book, and published
iu the Macon Papers, and a copy of the same
be forwarded by the Secretary of the com
pany to the family of the deceased.
Fort Pulaski, April 13th, 1862.
Capt. M. J. McMullao, Commanding
Wise Guards.
Dear Sir : —lt is my pleasing duty to
inform you that at a meeting of the commis
sioned officers of the Ist Vei. Reg of Ga ,'
who have formed the greater part of the gar
rison at Fort Pulaski, it was unanimously
Resolved , That tho Wise Guards should
ever hereafter, be considered as Honorary
Members of the Ist Vol. Reg. of Ga.
The self sacrificing manner in which the
Wise Guards came to our relief, with the
full knowledge that they would in so doing be
cut off' from all communication with home
and friends, had excited our warmest admi
ration and esteem, but when we saw the gal
lantry with which you and y*ur men be
haved iu the recent disastrous engagement,
we are at a loss in want of words to express
our feelings. We are proud to have been
connected with you, and the object of the
above resolutions is to make that connection
permanent.
I am dear sir, yours very truly,

Mobiie, Oct. 8. A special dispatch to the Ad
vertiser and Register, dated Tupelo, 7th, gives the
loilowiQg parlieiilars of the battle at Corinth :
Onr troops having driven in the enemy’s skirm
ishers, the combined forces of Van Dorn and Price
attacked them in their entrenchment? at 9 o’clock
a. M., on Friday, driving them out of their wo. k*
and capturing nine pieces of artillerv. We con
tinued repulsing them slowly, driving them back
until night.
Our loss was heavy during the day—Phifer’s
and Green’s brigade? suffering most. Gen. Martin
was killed ; also MeFariand and Irwin, of Missouri
seriously wounded.
At 4 o'clock on Sunday morning the enemv
opened with heavy artillery, occasioning a small
loss to our troops. At 8 o’clock we advanced,
capturing several of their siege guns—Green’s
1 again suffered heavily, and being the first
to enter the town. Cabell’s brigade charged the
«. amy in a fort on College Hill. The enemy re
‘ ve d their fire uutil our troops were within thirty
y d* they theu opened a murderous fire, re
lsing our troops with great loss.
Information having been received that the Van

Columbus Enquirer.
Knoxville, Got. 7, 1862. —F0r t ome time past
the tories ot Sevier county have been organizing
themselves into an armed band for the purpose of
resisting the authorities of thi? department. Last
week they Lad succeeded in gathering about 400
together, and took up a strong position in the
mountains of Sevier. Gen. Jones, commanding
this department, ordered a North Carolina regi
ment, under Colonel Allen, to proceed thither and
dislodge them. The Colonel returned yesterday
evening, with about ;70 prisoners, some 80 horses,
and a like number of tine beef cattle, and crowned
his scout by capturing two Federal officers. The
capture of these two officers with this gang inclines
me to the opinion that these men were recruits
for Lincoln’s service, and not orgauized for the
purpose of resisting the legally constituted author
ities, as many here supposed. The presence of
these officers right here in onr midst, recruiting
and organizing companies for service in the ene
my’s ranks, develope3 a startling fact—one that
may well claim the serious consideration of the
General commanding.
Gen. Breckinridge is here, stopping at the La
mar Ilouie. He is in fine health and spirits. His
splendid command is in camps not far from town,
recruiting their energies preparatory to the long
and tedious inarch they will shortly have to make.
The Battle at Corinth. —Another bloody battle
without decisive results has been fought. The
loss on both sides must have been very heavy, and
if any compensating advantages .have been gained
ihev belong to the army of Price and Van Dorn,
who have taken cannon and prisoners and made a
successful retreat while the enemy retain only the
ground they occupied before the battle. The at
tack seems to have been contrary to the advice of
most of the Generals and was probably ill con
duc ed though for a time successful from its stub
born bravery.
Ihe apparent design of the advance ol our Gen
erals upon Corinth, was to co operate with the
pianos Bragg to drive out the invaders of Tennessee
ard Kentucky, and to retake Nashville and possi
bly o join Bragg, or advance towards towards the
Ohio at Paducah. The long delay of Bragg near
Louisville, giving the enemy time to make the
most perfect preparations for his reception, can
be explained only by supposing that he expected
co-operatiou from Price, or from some other quar
ter.
Price is a General who is seldom beaten ; if
foiled in one attempt be is soon ready for another,
and we msv expect news of a victory from that
quarter e >ou. Oue of the best, if not the best,
generals ff the Northern armies, Rosencrantz, is

well” : therefore, be it resolved —
Ist. That in the death of our brother, Houston

worthy examplar, the county a good citizen.
2d. Thut we tender to bis bereaved family and
friends our sympathies and condolence in this their
sid bereavement.
3d. That our Lodge be clothed in mourning for
the space of thirty days.
■lth. That a copy of the above preamble and
resolutions be forwarded, by the Secretary, to the
family of the deceased, and the same be entered
upon the records, and the name of our deceased
bi other be inscribed upon a blank page in our
record book as a memorial.
