The number of the enemy’s forces in Jack sonville, they represent to be about 8,600, a large majority are negroes. The troops are under the immediate command of Col. Bur ney of the sixth U. S. colored troops, a native of New York, and son of the notorious aboli tionist by that name. Generals Gilmore, Seymour and Hatch were all on board of the steamer “Maple Leaf at the time she exploded a torpedo in the St. Johns, and barely escaped with their lives. Since the explosion of tbe above steamer and the “Hunter/’ they are not much inclined to ascend the St. Johns. There are a large (number of cases of 3mall pox and other diseases in Jacksonville, and their troops are likewise upon very short rations. From what we have been enabled to gather we predict a soon and sudden embarkation of the mongrel horde from Jacksonville. The idea of an advance in the interior is at present altogethei out of the question. Lake City Columbian , 4fA. A Characteristic Article from the Herald—Grant’s Estimate of the Virginia Campaign. The New York Herald contains the follow ing bluster, which is a sample of that being generally resorted to by the Yankee papers on the eve of the Virginia campaign: We may not bear for several days to come, but we may hear at any moment, that the most tremendous ana decisive of all the bat tles of the war has been commenced in that awful graveyard of Union and rebel armies, the blood-stained bills and plains of old Vir- j ginia. From sources apparently well inform ed, we learn that the army of Gen. Lee, with in the last thirty d*ys, lias been swelled from forty-five thousand to ninety thousand men, and that they are nearly all veterans. What the forces of Gen. Grant are in tbe aggregate we cannot conjecture; but we are assured that they are amply sufficient for the work before them, and that their active and vigilant leader is thoroughly prepared to receive tbe enemy while perfecting his arrangements for a move ment upon his works. We are gratified to state that nothing ap pears to be known of Gen. Grant’s plans and combinations by any individual except him- self. The rebel journals at Richmond, for the first time during the war, are sorely puzzled to comprehend the real designs, of the direct ing mind of the Union armies. The prestige of Gen. Lee and his veteran army has become the last hope and the last reliance of Jeff Davis and his followers. In the present exhausted condition of the rebell ious States, with all their able-bodied men in the field, and with all their scanty materials of subsistence subject to forced contributions, the moral effect of the defeat of Lee will be a speedy collapse of the rebellion. On the other hand while a victory over General Grant, in Virginia, may revive the slaking fortunes of Davis, nothing else will save him beyond the summer’s campaign. Hence we cannot doubt that he has resolved to stake his Confederacy upon the defense of Richmond, and that his struggle to maintain it will be the mast desper ates nd sanguinary of all the struggles of the war. We are entirely satisfied that this is the es timate which Gen. Grant has made of this Virginia campaign ; that he does not under rate the enemy’s strength and their desperate energy in collecting all their available forces, and that he has made his dispositions for a successful conflict with the largest army that Davis can muster in Virginia without abso lutely abandoning bis base of supplies in Georgia. With an easy confidence, therefore, in the final result of this Virginia campaign, a confidence which could not entertain while the army of the Potomac was subject to the manipulations of the old blundering Wash ington directory—with that unqualified and unquestioning confidence which is felt by the public at large in the success of Gen. Grant, we await the issue of the grand impending struggle. Captured and Hung.— We learn from a source altogether reliable, tnC tl3aac F - ilß £’, 2nd , Lieut, of Captain Reynold’s compiT Florida Bat talion, together with another ci*; Rrter { ™ m , Coff * e county, Ga., who in conjunction with J* er ers and Tories, have been committing depreaa*. in this State, were captured near New Boston, on the Suwannee river, and hung by a party of Con federates a few days ago. The day of retribution will soon dawn upon the horde of bad men who have infested the southern portion of our State, j and are engaged in wantonly destroying the life and property yf the loyal citizsns of the country. —Lake City Columbian. Important Order from Gen. Meade. —Tho Washington Star, of Friday evening, has the fol lowing important announeement, showing that there is, and is to be,, trouble in the Army of the Potomac with the expired enlistment men. It is because of this that Buruside has gone to Grant, instead ol undertaking bis independent expedi tion up the Peninsula. The Star says : As the time is approaching when a number of the regiments belonging to the Army of the Poto- I mac are to be discharged from the military ser- i vice of the United States, by reason of the expira- j tion of the term of service for which they were j mustered into said service, Maj. Gen. Meade has announced to such troops that the War Depart ment has decided that the term of service of a regiment is to be computed from the date of mus ter into the servioe of the United States, without reference to the date of enrolment or any service rendered a State. The Commanding General will, however, at all times, be glad to receive and forward, for the con sideration of the proper authorities, any respeetml communication touching the term of service of a regiment, when such term appears to be involved in donbt. The Commanding General, in making this an nouncement, expresses the hope that regiments which may be discharged will cheerfully acquiesce in the decision of the Government in regard to their term of service, and that no organized bodies of individuals, alter having borne an unsullied reputation during all the eventful scenes which have marked their connection with the armv of the Potomac, will suffer the honorable fame they have won by their gallantry and good conduct to be tarnished in the closing hours of their service by acts of insubordination, which, if ventured upon by any, will be promptly suppressed, and can only terminate in the speedy and certain punish ment of the offending parties. j The Pillohv ix the Army. —Gen. Forrest is i very strict with hiS command. A writer from j Jackson, Tenm, says : Absence without leave, missing roll calls, etc., entitles the culprit to a “position’' in the pillory. This is facetiously called “going'before the board.” 1 The victims of the “board” are often saluted by some distant rebel with such complimentary re marks as “Halloa there, mister, didn't you know that you couldn’t pass the board ?” “Boards arew very strict now.” “Come outer that ticket office. I I see your head sticking out at the window.” j The ladies at the grand reception balls et£., in Washington, are exhibiting g r.t e ' econemy. They dress with just clothing as possible. $3.50 Per Month. ..J, W. WARREN, JBditer Tenth Georgia Regiment. At a meeting held in the eatap ®f the 10th Georgia Regiment, April 20th, 1824, near Gordons vilie, Virginia, for the purpose of con sidering and discussing the view* of the Ex ecutive of Georgia, as expressed in his late Message upon Confederate Relations, and the action of the Georgia Legislature upon the Stephens’ Resolutions, Lieutenant Colonel W. C. Holt was called to the Chair, and Private J. H. Spicer, Company “E,” requested to act as Secretary. Upon motion, the following named com mittee were appointed to draft suitable reso iffimnak _ , , Captain C. C. Xibbee, Company G. “ Q. C. Cone, Company K. Serg’t W. A. Spicer, Company F. Pending the action of the committee, the meeting was addressed by M. D. H. Burts, of Chattahoochee county, Ga. At the close of Mr. Burts’ address, the fol lowing preamable and resolutions were sub mitted by the committee, and unanimously adopted: Whereas, We regard the message of Gov. Brown, of Georgia, upon Confederate Rela tions, and’ tho action of the State Legislature upon the Stephens’ Resolutions as hurtful to the cause in which we are engaged, tending, as It does, to distract our councils at home and destroy the spirit of our armies iu the field, by giving that hope to our almost beaten foe which they derive from our dissensions at home ; and, whereas, we hold it not only our highest right, but our solemn duty, to rebuke, by on expression of opinion, those men at home, whether in or out of authority, who I are seekfng to array the State of Georgia against the Confederate Governs Therefore be it ? eß ?.rcu, Ist. That we look with deep con cern aid sorrow upon the action of those men st home whom wo have been wont to regard with feelings of respect and esteem, in their efforts to bring in oonflict the State of Georgia with the Confederate Government; condemn those resolutions, speeches and messages which covertly contain designs which we re gard as deadly to the life of the Confederacy. Resolved, 2d. That whilst we who are bear ing the brunt of the struggle by oheerfully un dergoing the dangers and hardships in the field, bear constantly in mind that it is a bat tle for State rights, “life, liberty and the pur suit of happiness,” yet we see no cause for the hue and cry, raised by the alarmists at home against the acts of Congress and the administration, and are not haunted by fears of the “master at home,” but see, in the ser ried ranks of the enemy, and the gigantic es-, forts made to crush and snbdue us, reasonable fears of a master from the north ; and we, therefore, heartily approve and endorse every act of Congress and the Administration, which tends, either by appreciating the currency, or by putting every available man in the field, to bring this struggle to a speedy and successful termination. Resolved, 3d, That we do not regaid the manner and mode of soliciting peace pointed out by the Stephens Resolutions, and endors ed by the Executive of Georgia, as compatible with the dignity of the government, or as likely to accomplish the end it proposes. The government and people of the North know as well as we do, upon what issue we made the fight, and they never have been al lowed to forget our demands, or to believe we have changed our determination, and the only hope of peace we can enteftairl is that which, thundered in their ears by the roar of our artillery, and offered them at the point of the bayonet, forces them to the necessiiy of acce ding to our demands, and making such over tures themselves as meet the requirements of a people determined to be free. Resolved, 4th. That we look with deep con cern upon that portion of the Stephens Reso lutions which intimate separate State action, in treating with the enemy, and we desire to put upon record our stern disapprobation of anything which looks to that, and our unmit igated opposition to the measure and its ad vocates. Resolved, sth. That to the “Artful Dodg ers” at home we extend our unmitigated and heartfelt contempt. Resolved, Gth. That in President Davis we recognize a leader fit for the cause and the crisis, one whose enlightened patriotism, stern integrity, and far seeing statesmanship has wrung from the civilized world unceasing plau- | dits. And we do not hesitate to pronounce in advance that when the passions and pr“ iu <U ce s ? f^. G h° nr are buried with the great actors' in this national tragedy, and when the voice of envy and slander shall be hushed in the tbe t r m r b ic COming f? enera tions will hail the name of Jefferson Davis as the syno nym of all that was good as a Christian, wise as a statesman, and great as a military Resolved, 7th. That Copies of these resolu tions be sent to the Richmond Examiner and Enquirer, Augusta Constitutionalisl, Sa vannah Republican, Atlanta Confederacy Macon Telegraph, and Columbus Times, for publication. | There being no further business the meet ing adjourned. W. C. HOLT, Lt. Col. Com’g 10th Ga. Regt., Chairman. J. H. Speer, Secretary. Copperheadism Incurable.— The Selinagrove (Pa.) Times gives utterance to the following re freshing sentiment: We would see Old Abe hung by order of Jeff Davis before we would urge any man to volunteer in a war like this. To which the Starke County (Ohio) Democrat responds thus: The above plan and truthful talk we commend to our friends, especially those who have been in duced to aid, by their money and otherwise the bounty and schemes of the abolition leaders. ’ Who will say, after this, that Copperheadism can be cured. Aaron’s Calf.— I ‘'William, look up. Tell me who made you ?” 1 ‘ William who was considered a fool, screwing up his face and looking thoughtful,and somewhat be wildered, slowly answered, “Moses, I s’pose.'’ “That will do. Now,” said Counsellor Gray addressing the court, “the witness says he ‘s’poses’ Moses made him. This certainly is an intelligent answer—more than I considered him capable of giving, for it shows that he has some faint idea of scripture; butl submit it is Dot sufficient to jus- l tify his being sworn as a witness to give evidence “Mr. Judge,” said the fool, “may I ax the law yer a question ?” “Certainly,” said the Judge, “as •many as you please.” “Wal, then, Mr. Lawyer, who do you think made you?” Counsellor Gray (imitating the witness) “Aaron, I s’pose.” After P 1 bad Bubs ided, the witness exclaimed, wal, now, we do read in the good book that ■ Aaron once made a calf, but who’d have thought that the tarual critter kadgotin here J” It is said that Sumner is about to intro duce a resolution into the Senate to change the name of the United Stateß to New Africa. .

The enemy having massed a heavy force in front of Rocky Face, fiv« lines of battle being visible, it was thought they would attempt to carry it by storm this morning, but as yet no demonstration has been made. —s—;—.— ♦ ♦ ♦ Dan Sickles on the War—thh R*ns have no Property. —Dan Sickles, who fs noted in verse as having “killed a man,” made a speech in Detroit the other day on the war. It will be seen that Dan’s ideas of the right of prop erty are of the loosest character ; But someone says th* war is unconstitu tional; that it ia unconstitutional to keep the country together. But, as it was unconstitu tional to form the Union, why should it be unconstitutional to maintain it ? Why, the Union was born in force, and it is absurd to say it cannot be maintained by force. But someone says that it is impossible that a peo ple fighting on their own soil should be con quered. I deny that it is their soil any more thau it is mine or yours. They have forfeited by their conduct all right and title to it. But look at Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Wes tern Virginia, etc. These are my answers to people who speak of impossibilities. From the beginning, our course has been steadily onward, and so it will go on. We must and shall succeed. Nor is the day of our triumph far distant. I believe the issues will culmi nate in this campaign. I believe if the Pres idential election were three years off, there would be no rebels in the field to-day. They are hoping for a change of Administration, but it is a vain hope. Our cost has been too great. Compromise is no longer possible. Had the South re mained in the Union I would have gone as far a3 any man for a compromise. Now lam against any and every compromise. lam for the unconditional, absolute surrender of the South to the Union. I trust if I ever meet you again, fellow-citizens, it will be when peace shall smile once more upon us, when you of the West and us of the North, as ever one people, shall go on, realizing that career of power, of honor, of beneficence, which has so signalized us hitherto. I hope we shall bo the citizens of a republic forever, absolutely and totally free. The remarks of the speaker were frequently interrupted with applause.

It is a Greek name and of mythological origin. Lempriere’s Classical Dictionary thus refers to it: “Macaria, a daughter of Hercules and Da janira. After the death of Hercules, Eurys theua made war against the Heraclida: whom the Athenians supported, and the oracle de clared that the descendants of Hercules should obtain the victory if one of them devoted him self to death. This was cheerfully accepted by Macaria, who refused to endanger the lifa of the children of Hercules by suffering tha victim to be drawn by lot, and the Athenians obtained a victory. Great lionor3 were paid to the patriotic Macaria, and a fountain of Marathon was called bv her uame.” BLIND TOM! AT TEMPERAIVCE HALL, On Tnesday Eve. May 10, at 8 P. I.
