ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22nd.
Commencing at nine o’clock, a. m., I will sell at
my store the most extensive, complete and desira
ble assorted invoice of
Choice French Chinaware,
that has been opened within the Confederacy dur
ing the past three years.
It consists of EIGHTEEN CASKS of ware, of di
rect importation from Havre, the goods having been
selected by an eo:perte for the fancy retail trade of
Richmond and Memphis, in 1861. Arriving in the
latter place just previous to its occupation by the
enemy, they were removod into the interior of North
Mississippi, remaining until their late removal
to this market.
This Choice Lot of Ware embraces four
Superb Complete and Highly Ornamented
Dinnei’ Setts,
Each containing 318 pieces.
Also, Plain and Ornamental
Rceakfast Setts,
Tea Setts, and
Toilet Setts,

This rare lot of goads invites not only the atten

sire to secure a supply of choice, table ware, such as
will probably not be again offered during the days
of blockade. They are now being opened, and will
be ready for exhibition in a few days.
The four DINNER SETTS will be offered pri

previous to the sale.

Troop3 Enough.— AS e understand, says the
Petersburg Express, that the troops who ar
rived here on Saturday night, were stopped
and ordered to report to General Beauregard.
With the large reinforcements known to be on
the way to General 8., his strength, we learn,
will be even greater than before General Lee
was reinforced from his army. M e state this
to calm the fears of the timid, who may fear
that Gen. Lee is not strong enough for the
work of thrashing Grant, as it is hardly to
be supposed that all this force would be stop
ped before reaching his army, unless he felt
amply prepared.

The Charleston Mercury is informed that anew
and fast steamer called the Fox> constructed of
steel plates has arrived at a convenient harbor
with a valuable osrgn on government account. —
She is said to be fast, with a draft of about 6J feet,
a freight capacity of 600 bales of edtton, and is cal
culated to enter almost any of the numerous shal
low harbors along our coast. The steamers Fan
nie, Alice, Coquette, Mars and liothsay Castle had
reached Nassau.
Brigadier General Stand Watie. —This
celebrated chief of the Cherokee Nation has re
cently been commissioned a Brigadier General in
the Confederate army to take rank from the 6th of
May, 1864.
General Watie raised a regiment in the summer
of ISfil, and served under General Ben McCul
loch until the winter of 1362, when he was trans
ferred to the Indian command under Pike. He
led a brilliant charge in the second day’s fight of
the battle of Chustanahlah, where the lamented
Mclntosh routed the hostile Indian forcc-s. At
Elk Horn, General Watie greatly distinguished
himself; and his conduct as a brave and gallant
officer, from the commencement of the war, forms
a part’of the records of the country. His promo
tion is well deserved. He is the first Indian that
has ever attained the rank of Brigadier General.
Present Size of the Federal Marinis. —Ey
the Fedtral Navy List, published in March of the
present year, it would appear that the Federal na
vy now consists of some 588 vessels ot all classes,
including those building, in commission and in
ordinary. Os this number 21 are steam frigates,
averaging from 3,700 to 2,000 tons, and mounting
from 51 to 32 guns of the heaviest caiibre each.
The number of iron-clads afloat and in process of
completion is 72, which mount from 2 to 20 guns.
The Federal Nary Department sets down the loss
of m«n-of-war at the hands of the Rebels, since
December, 1802, to the present time, at 43 vessels,
including S rams and iron clads. There are now
on the active list of the Navy. 6 rear admirals,
18 commodores, 72 commanders and 114 lieuten
ant commanders.
Suppression of Two New Orleans
Journals.— The Era, of May 28th, an
- nounces the suppression, by a special or
der from the Commanding General of the
Department, of the Picayune and Le Cou
rier Francais. The Era ascribes the sup
pression of the latter to “its out and out
secession character,” “its abuse of the
Government,” its “ridicule and insult to
ward the cause of the Union and its sup
porters,” its violent denunciation of mem
bers of the Convention, and its habit of
issuing inflammatory extras “with false
rebel news.”
“The Picayune,” says the Era, “al
though more cautious, was more danger
ous, and, in our judgment, has done more
than all other influences combined to keep
alive secession feeling, and to fan secession
hopes in New Orleans.” After a few,
other remarks of a similar purport, the
Era adds: “ The immediate cause of its j
suppression, we believe, was the indiscreet
haste with which it spread the bogus proe- j
lamation of the President before the peo j
pie here in an extra —the same cause, in j
fact, for Which the New York World and ,
Journal of Commerce seems to
shut up by the Government.”
A Substitute for Co^fes. —A friend sent as
some days ago an article which had every appear- j
ance of the well roasted and ground Java coffeo, i
with the request that we would try it and give j
our opinion on its merits as a substitute. We did
so, and fonn-.i t in comparably, superior to any- [
thing tha . even, in use. not excepting the

In the Field. May 29. 15641 J
SfR f Your highly esteelhed (?1 Tetter r'ench
ed me Mhj- 23d. arid but fur the more- impor
tant business of looking after the Yankees— j
who have been greatly encouraged by yofir j
ill timed actkrn and.uu wisejnessuge in regard
to eertaki Acts of tho late Congress—would
have received it* merited attention, at an .€ur r ;
Her date.
The proceedings in my brigade must have
been very highly appreciated; at-least they
appear to haves raised a tempest in a teapot,
ana I am the Recipient of a large share of gu
bernatorial abuse. . Rut, for this. I care very
little', and the ill humor of your Excellency
uas noTYaused me to pass a sfeeptess hour
wheh duty has not required me to be on the
march or in line of battle to meet Mr. Grant.
The committee that framed the resolutions
wa* appointed by myself. Ido not pretend to
know the political prejudices of my men, and
appointed men of intelligence and honesty,—
action Was handonious, and I believe,
youAreliable information to the contrary, ex
presses the sentiments of a large majority of
the command. I offer this simple explanation
that I may not be accused offollowing in your
footsteps, and securing my ends by trickery
and wire working, a species of work in which
; I cannot hope to compete with your ExceL
lency.
As for the flattery to the President, I ima
gine he knows the independence of soldiers
too well to believe that my brigade was influ
enced in its action by the officers, and Trill be
most likely to take for what it i&worth your
childish insinuation that th.e hope of promo
tion at his bands actuated myself or any offi
cer engaged in the meeting. The action of
the meeting will show at least that we are not
afraid to censure or commend when we think
either necessary, and will show our regard ior
those who, by their acts and words, endeavor
to throw obstacles in the way of the govern
ment, instead of supporting it with that hear
ty good wiR that would insure success.
How much more appropriate is the action
of the Legislature of down-trodden, oppressed,
devastated Louisiana, than that you boast of?
lam ambitious of promotion, and expect to
f seek it by doing my whole duty hereafter as I
" have heretofore, and not by trickery, and dem
agogism, a3 yous Excellency is seeking to
pave your way to the Pretidency. If the Presi
dent should see proper to give me the promo
tion you so venomously growl at as being the
object of my connection with the meeting of
my brigade, I assure you it will not be from
having flattered him with that view, anymore
than I have flattered the Governor of Georgia.
I intend that my acts shall speak for me,
and believing in the honesty and integrity of
the President, although he has his faults, as
all other men have, I shall mo3t cordially sup
port him—the suspension of the writ of ha
beas corpus notwithstanding—as I had sup
ported you until your venality and corruption
become too glaring for me to trust you any
lougcr. Yon speak of what you and the Leg
islature ot the State havei dou. for the poor
soldiers’ families, and you say that you and
the Legislature have appropriated $10,000,000
for their benefit S Pray, tell us how much of
this came from the gubernatorial pocket. Was
it not the people’s and soldier’s money? and
were not these appropriations made‘by the
representatives of the’people? Certainly they
were, and you did not dare, no matter if
you had wished, to disapprove them. * And
then to boa3t of what you had none !
This is a very pretty little electioneering
dodge, but it will not avail you ; and if mv
reliable information is correct, the Governor
has found means to purchase one or two large
estates since the beginning of this unholy war.
I am also in receipt of most reliable informa
tion that the Governor of Georgia has fortv
four Aids, with the rank of Colonel, and* I
suppose, of course, with a proportionate num
ber of lower grades. What a staff! But I
suppose it requires all these to aid your Ex
cellency in controlling and commanding the
fifteen or twenty thousand men you have kept
out of anny by your petty patronage—
militia officers, keepers of the county rolls
(when wa3 this office created?), etc., etc..
I apprehend that the wayworn soldiers, on
their weary marches by day and lonely watch
es by night, understand and are aware of how
these delicate little matters are managed, and
appreciate them too. You exultingly refer
to the spontaneous cheering for yourself at the
end of the meeting. I suppose that, at the
greatest extent, there were some fifteen or
twenty voices in the camp which, halloed for
“Joe Brown,” but if the tone of voice was any
indication of the feelings of the mind, it was
derision, and as to the number voting against
the resolutions, there were not more "than
four or five, and that was feebly done.
If there was in the Brigade, at the time of
the meeting over which you are so belligerent,
so many ardent friends of your Excellency'
they are not such friends as I wish. Every
man present (at least jseven-denths of the
Brigade) was called on Iby myself as chair
man to give expression to his sentiments, and
if you had the lriends there you boa3t of, they
were either ashamed of the cause or the man,
for not one of them, officer or soldier, opened
his mouth m your defence. Your insinuation
that the men were afraid to express their feel
ings, fearing punishment from the officers, is
too contemptible to notice. As to “prosti
tituting the dignity of high office for unholv
ends," there are several little matters that
have a terrible leaning that way. Amongst
them I will only mention the unseasonable
distribution of those cotton cards, and the
exchanging of Confederate for State money to
members of the Legislature.
Why was this ? I cannot see that a mem
j °* that honorable body is any more enti
| Ued to such preference than any" other hum-
If^ e citizen, and I think the cards would have
I been much better appropriated, given to poor
j soldiers’ wives, than distributed to the mem
; bers at $lO a pair. : ‘ ’■! i? :<
I regret that your ill-hintuor has compelled
i me t 0 a ppear in the newspapers, as I do not
desire any such notoriety; but if you wish to
| hear plain truths spoken in very plain lan
! I am ft t your service when not engaged
with the enemy.
Respectfully.
Georgs T. Anderson*,
Brigadier General.

Atlanta, Ga., June Otb, 18G4.
Dear tpuUigmcet.-:?— Having just arrived
frqm thv enemy A, rear, much jaded and out of
I will only give a'little statement, in
stead of a communication. I left Murray
county last Monday ; oame through Pickens, a
corner of Cherokee, Milton and .Deßalb coun
ties. 1 remained in the ..euemyA lines one
At ee K- J saw and.heard much to sicken the
patriots heart. On this evening two weeks
Mgd,i«otne rebels, unkrioWn to myselt r.s well
as to the Yankees, took Dalton and destroyed
their stores at. that place, then retired to parts
unknown. The Behs killed several negroes,
the Yanks being too cowardly to face the music
themselves. Since that time, Dalfon has
garrisoned with a brigade.
The Federals are branching out but little
Y\ e , ” ue rear - The counties of
\\ bitfield, Goraon and Bartow are laid-waste
—everything of any value is either carried off t
or destroyed. We hava but verv few loyal i
people left in that country.
The boiders are under charge oftories and
deserters from both armies. I spent the most
of my wetk on the old Federal road in Murray
and Gordon couuties. I saw and talked with
many 1 ankee deserters, mostly from Tennes
see and Kentucky; brought down a Kentucky
deserter with me, and had him delivered to
the Provost Marshal at this place. They re
port Sherman’s army as on very short rations,
and badly dissatisfied. They’also report that
many of his army have served their time out,
and that Sherman refuses to discharge them
until this fight ia over* He has mustered out
three or four regimentsj where the officers and
men were united in refusing to serve longer.
The latter part ofjlaet week a raid of 200 Fred
erals went from Adairsville to Pickens coun
ty, and there arrested a Mr. Glenn, of Pickens,
and two citizens of Murray, Mortimore People*
and Wm. Gray. They carried off Glenn and
Gray, but turned loose Peoples. Tiiey also
carried off six of Glenn’s negroes, his horses,
gold, corn and bacon, with many ofherjittle
articles. They started from Glenn’s to arrest
a worthy old citizen, James -Simmons, but was
fired into by one of Ben Jordan’s men, and
they beat a hasty retreat, closely pursued by
Ben Jordan and forty of his men. They trav
elled twenty-five miles in the direction of
Adairsville, in four hours, without looking
back. This raid was headed by Lincoln’s
Governor of Georgia, Sherman’s chief of secret
scouts.
It has been said that there is nothing in a
name, but the truth of this ought now to be
doubted. A little Englishman by the name
of Jas. Brown, With more brass, impudence
and sharpness than intellect, came to Murray
county eight or ten years ago, and married a
daughter of Charles Adair, an honest old cit
izen of Murray county. He then read law
and was admitted to the bar. The last I knew
of him until this Pickens raid, Judge D. A.
Walker sued him for collected money unaccoun
ted for, and came near putting him in jail.—
His old father-in-law paid off the claim. He
now turns up the Governor of the great State
of Georgia. Mirabile dictu! He notified the
people that be controlled that section of coun
try, and they had better act wisely and take
the oath and all would be right. The soldiers
under hi3 command treated him with great
deference, and called him nothing but Gover
nor Brown.
It was reported and believed in parts of
Pickens and Gilmer that Governor Brown the
Ist, had concluded to initiate his new issue,
and was going to purge the mountains of to
ries and bushwhackers. But when Glenn, as
true a man as breathes, was taken, the rumor
died out, and the people, with wonder, await
ed the unveiling of the mystery. I will mere
ly add, that a discreet man can head one hun
dred good men and tap the railroad anywhere
between Adairsville and Chattanooga. lam
in communication with the rear, and will post
you again.
Yours, &c., MURRAY.
Suspicious. —The enemy are certainly
after some mischief in this vicinity.
Their movements at Hilton Head and
Warsaw Sound, for the last three days,
are suggestive of an attempt at deviltry
of some sort. It is reported that a party
of Yankees landed on Wilmington Mon
day arid reconnoitered that island for a
considerable time, and on leaving amused
themselves by burning the old house at
Whiting’s Point. Yesterday, we hear,
three monitors and seven transports came
up Warsaw river and anchored at the is
lands known as the “Two Sisters,” which
lie in full view of our battery at Turner’s
Point, on Whitmarsh Island.
We are pleased to know that our mili
tary authorities are on the alert, and we
hope every citizen will hold himself in
readiness to go to the rescue should it be
come necessary.
The object of the enemy is, probably,
to obtain a foothold on Whitmarsh, be
lieving that it will afford them a valuable
stand point in operations against the city.
We have no desire to create any alarm,
but we are free to say that existing cir
cumstances contain ample inducement for
every citizen to be prepared, and ready to
step promptly forward whenever his servi
ces may be needed. We are able to repel
any assault of the enemy, and we simply
wish to see an exhibition of our willing
ness to do it.— Sav. Rep.
The Only Truth-Teller.— Amid
the universal trickery and deception at
the North, there is one thing that almost
invariably tells the truth— gold. This
great financial barometer seldom fails to
indicate the true state of the political
weather, let veual newspapers and lying
politicians pervert and falsify as they may.
According to these latter, Grant’s march
into Virginia has been triumphal from the
beginning till now, whilst the cowardly
Lee and his ragged Rebels have been
fleeing for their lives to Richmond. The
Money Market tells its story, and what is
it ? When Grant crossed the Rapidan
gold was at 164 ; it has gone up and Yan
kee credit gone down with every victory,
until finally, Grant makes a*glorious fight
on the 3d, carries the Rebel works at Cold
Harbor, repels every assault with heavy
loss, and straightway puts it up to
1921 What a remarkable effect to be
produced by such a cause! Grant and
Butler are wonderful financiers, but very
poor Generals.— Sov. Rep.
From Rome.—A correspondent writing us
from Cedartcwn, Georgia, state's that the Fcd
erais in Rome are living on third rations,
about three thousand troops being in and
around the city. Some forty-five hundred
Federals passed np, on the 4ih.
