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. mmrn • mm 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 more con ' ’ sos coffee, The taste is * slurb* 1 - ist palatable and we would ; c exchange it for the gen it i ation consists simply of j 3 ea pea picked from the j ,ei to a dark cinnamon 1 * - : P" ' i To His Excellency Joseph E. j Brown, • .*« > i HsAiDQUARTSRS AVUEESOX'S JBRIQADt, I In the Field.

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. ♦—+ Private ALsaRT MgCants.—Among the i casualties of ihe o4tfa Regiment. Ga.

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.
