of the bullet which he carries in his persou
from the pistol ot Air. Charles V. tSmnh,
of the G‘3 Regiment ot Ga. Volunteers, who
acted so coolly and bravely in the defence of
the property of the person under whose roof

“Irby villi;, R lton Cos. Ga , )
beb. 8, 1804. )
Mr. Editor.
“I beg leave to call youi attention to some
ot the most daring outrages that have ever
come under my observation id this or any
other section
“On the night of the 4th inst, six men
came to the residence of Mi Samuel House
(who resides in DeKalb coiiDty, near the
line of DeKalb aud Fulton county) about 9
u clock in the night. The door not being
locked, they walked into the hall, when Mrs
House (who was sitting hy *hi hie with an
iitthcted son) bade them come in to the fire.
I'beir leader gave his name as Lieut Cobb,
Li<*c’ti Battalion, Atlanta, who were detailed
to search for deserters who had broken from
the Barracks in Atlanta The noise ot theii
coming in awoke the old gentleman, who
was sleeping in the same room. He demand
ed their business, and was replied to by two
of the robbers, who jumped to the side of
his bed and pointed their revolvers at his
breast, and told him they Would kill him if
he tried to move, and if he did not give up
his money. They then said that their being
after deserters was all a pretense, that it
was money they wanted'—none of your d—n
Confederate trash, but money that was some
account. lie told them he bad deposited
bis money iu the bank at Atlanta, and had
only checks, and no money by him. They
demanded tho key of the bureaus, chests,
OU I,o*l r<tp 7 Ye , *uid A1 U _!*,_»utA i.i ly
of 60) took her keys and alight and went
with them and unlocked every place they
wished to search bey found no money
but found a watch, the property of Mr, Jeff
House, now in Confederate service, which
they carried off with them. Mr. House in
forms mo the same party was there a few
days previous.
“On the next night six or eight meu.
with then faces blacked, entered the residence
of Maj. J, J. Vaughan, in this county, (10
miles from Atlanta, in Buckhead District)
ia the absence of the Major and his sou,
there being no one at home except two small
children, the oldest eleven years, and the
servants—stole what whiskey they wanted,
and considerable valuable clothing. They
searched every where fur money, but did
not find any.
“On the same night Mr. Washington P.
Johnson one mile frum Maj Vaughan's was
aroused from his sleep between 12 and 1
o’clock by a rapping at his door. He ask
ed who was there; and the reply was, Lieut.
Mtore aud two men from Lee's command,
• Atlanta, Ga.. aud we are authorized to
search this Louse for whiskey. Mr. J iu
formed them he had no whiskey. They still
demanded admissiuu. Mr. J. opened the
door a little, *when three men, with their
faces blacked, and armed to the teeth, with
their revolvers presented at him, rushed Id
and drove him across the room to the foot
of his bed, on which his wile wa.-, and near
by his two little daughters’ bed, aged nine
and eleven, and unfortunately for him, they
were betweon him and his weapons of de
fence, a knife and revolver. They told him
they wanted no whisky, but money, and to
♦‘shell out” But here, to the
surprise of the robbers, auother actor in the
scene —one they were uot looking for, ap
peared at the door of the next room, in the
person of Mr. Charles V. Smith, ot the Ctith
Keg. Ga< Vois , of Columbus, Qa., and as
sooon as they saw him two of them present
ed their revolvers at his breast and told him
t j move a muscle and he was a dead mau ;
but nothing daunted, he hred his pistol at
one of them and received a shut in return,
’ the ball taking efleet iu his ngh hand, en
tering betwotn the first and second lingers,
aud coming out on the hack ot his hand
I He followed up, cocking and suappiug Lis
pistol, but every barrel misted tire; five caps
exploded, but ouly oue load went off The
robbers left in hasto, aud have not been
heard of since. Mr. fcmith tracked them
two miles towards Atlanta the next morning.
‘•lt is ueedlesa to add, they got no money
fiom that bouse; and whether one was
wounded or not, is not known It is the
impression that, from the direction of the
shots, that one was wounded; yet, no blood
could be found except what came from Mr.
Smith’s hand. His wound bled freely, but
is to-day doing well. Aud l cannot close
this, perhaps too legthy, epistle without
‘ paying a well merited tribute of respeot to
the coobess, courage and bravery of Mr.
Charles V. Smith, a young gentleman well
known to many of your readers of Columbus,
Ga„ aud elsewhere, who, although an iffval
id, thus, with the daring of a true soldier,,
boldly confronted three tunes his number
and compelled them to retreat.
I rcainiriii ot Coioiei l*ri»uiii»r%.
i he toilowing resolution- were iatroJ joeu
yesterday, in the Hnu>e of Representatives
by Mr. Curry, of Alabama They refer to
oue of the most important dissensions ot the
war, and constitute a document which ?hvuld
be committed to history.
Whereas, by certain joint resolutions
passed by the Congress of the Ooufedeiaie
States ot America aud approved on the Ist
ot May, IYG3, the proclamations issued by
the Piesident ot the Tinted States, “design
ed or touching to emancipate slaves iu The
Confederate States, or to abduct them, or t •
incite them to insurrection, or to employ ne
groes in war against the Confederate. States,
nr to nvrrthroTr tho • iu3tatni«u of AtVi***.
slavery and bring on a servile war in these
States, were denounced as lnconsußant with
the spirit ot those usages, which, iD modern
wartare, prevail among civilized nations, and
therefore, is subject to repression by rutaha
tion, as set forth in said resolutions
And whereas in the correspondence be
tween the commissioners for the exchange
ot prisoners, recently submitted to Congresij,
it appears by letter of Major General Hitch
cock,Commissioner of Kxchange, dated at
Washington on tho 2stb December, 18GB,
lotorruation is communicated to the Com
missioner of Exchange, appointed by this
Government, that “until the Southern au
tborities make some distinct declaration ol
a purpose to treat colored troops anJ their
officers in the employment of the United
States Government, m all respects, aceor.l
mg to the laws of war, as applicable to oth
er troops, we cannot recede from the posi
tion taken by the comniauder-iu-elnef, ab. ve
referred to; this position being an ordei
suspending the operation of that portion of
article tour ot the cartel which requires all
prisoners of war to be discharged on parole
in ten days after their capture.
And whereas it is well known from gen
eral orders issued trom Washington, ns well
as from other official sources, that the words
“coloured troops and their officers,” used in !
the said letter, are meant aud intended to j
apply to slaves, the property of the people of 1
these States, that have been seduced, ab- i
stracted and impressed into the military ser
vice of the United States, and armed for
warfare against their masters .
“ fherrforc it is rcmlmf by ih* ('anyrets
oj the Confederate States of America That
they do adhere to the position that the «uiau
cipation of the negroes slaves in the Ooufed-
Ciatc states, by ttiu vutuiy, is not auiuug me
acts ot legitimate warfare ; but is propel ly
classed, by writers on public law, including
the rr.ora t eminent publicists of the United
Slates, among such act; as ‘putting to death
all prisoners iu cold blood and without
special cause, or the right to une * poisoned
weapons, or to assassinate/
“ Rewind, That the pretension of the
United States that these States whenever
they may re capture then owu slaves, ab
ducted ami armed by the enemy, shall de
liver them back to the enemy on parole as
prisoners of war is, iu effect, a demand that
this Government shall recognize the rights
ot the United States to legislate within its
limits and shall aid the United States in
giving effect to such legislation ; a preten
sion too monstrous and revolting to be yield
ed to, for a moment, by the Confederate
States, aud set up by our enemies only to
create a pretext for violating the obligations
of liberating prisoners of war, in accordance
with the terms of the cartel, to which the
faith of the Government is pledged.
“Resolved , That Congress approve the ac
tion of the Fxecutive in refu mg to enter
tain any p oposition for treating our own re
captured negroes, otherwise than as the pro
perty of those from whom they were abduct
ed by the enemy, aud to whom the laws re
quire their restoration.
Resolved, That neither these resolutions,
nor those passed on the Ist of .May, 18G3,
are to be so construed as to exclude from
treatment as prisoners of war such free col
oured persons and their officers, as were not
resident within the Confederate States at
the commencement of the present was” —

A Mexican Juan b Arc.
Among the Mexican prisoners taken to
France, is a youug Indian worn an, only
twenty years of age, who was Lieutenant
Colodcl of the Regiment ol Zacatecas, and
who in the course of seven years, rose step
by step trom the ranks by her courage and
talents. she foil owed her husband to the
army, and was soon promoted to the rank of
*2d Lieutenant for her distinguUbed bravery
Ihe death of her husband, killed in action
afforded her an opportunity oi &veDgmg him
uud of rising another step The French
defeat at Guadeloupe, on the sth May, ISuJ,
obtained tor her the ranß of Licuteuaut (Joi
ouel, second iu command of a regiment, in
which position she again greatly distinguish
ed herself during the siege of Fuetla. This
singular woman handies the sword like u
nrst-clasj fencing-master, and she made her
self not only respected but feared by her
soldiers, who looked upon her as a supernat
ural being. After Urteg3 surrendered- at
discretion at Puebla, she was brought to
Vera Cruz, and lodged ou board the Rhone
until that vessel sailed for France Her or
der of einbareation mentioned her rank, and
gives her a right to sit at the held officers
