The following extract from Circular, No. 24, Bu
reau of Conscription, (current series,) is published
for the information and guidance of all concerned :
11. The sale to the Government or to the families
! °f soldiers, at prices fixed by the Commissioners of
| the State, under the Impressment Act, of the mar
-1 ketable surplus remaining after furnishing the Gov
. eminent with the stipulated quantity of provisions,
I and which he may raise from year to year, while his
exemption continues, is made by the act of Con
gress, approved February 17th, 1864, one of the
conditions of exemption allowed to an overseer or
agriculturalist. A claim is asserted by some of
those exempted as agriculturalists to exchange such
part of the aforesaid surplus as they may please, for
supplies of provisions, clothing, and the like, to be
consumed in family use, and to sell to the Govern
ment or to the families of soldiers only what re
mains of such surplus after making said exchanges.
The claim is in violatian of the law and of their
contract with the Government, and cannot be al
lowed.
Upon satisfactory evidence being furnished that
persons exempted as overseers or agriculturalists
have or are thus disposing of their surplus produc
tions by exchange as aforesaid, Enrolling Officers
will arrest all such persons, forward them to their
nearest camp of instruction, to be retained there
until final action shall be taken and announced in
their cases, and forward through the proper chan
nels of communication to this Bureau a report of
all the facts and circumstances of each case.
Every agriculturalist or overseer, upon receiving
his certificate of exemption, should be informed
that the action indicated above will be taken in the
event of his not disposing o‘s his marketable sup
plies in accordance with the requirements of the
law.”

\ ery Good.— We have it from high authority
that Gen. Bragg, now in the city, has received
official confirmation pf the capture of the raiders,
horses, Ac., near Newnan, as currently reported in
this city yesterday. There seems to be no doubt
also of the capture of the veritable Stoneman with
500 of his outlaws, and the impression is that an
other column of the Macou raiders under some
bods else has either been taken or are being very
hardly pushed. We hope to receive more authen
tic intelligence in relation to the latter during the
day.
Fight at Newnan.
A party who conversed with one of tile conduc
tors of the trains bearing Roddy’s men to Atlanta
on the West Point &. Atlanta Railroad, says the
Macon Telegraph, gives this account of the affair.
The two trains arrived at Newnan about midnight
on Friday, and stopped there a little while for rest
and refreshment. At two o’clock, Saturday morn
ing, the raiders entered the town, and seeing the
trains, setup a shout. Roddy, roused by the clamor,
drew up his men in line of battle and gave the en
emy a warm and unexpected welcome. They, how
ever, got into line and opened upon him with mus
ketry and two pieces of astillery, and a lively fight
ensued, during which a body of Wheeler’s cavalry
hove in sight, and the enemy began to scatter.—
Seven or eight hundred of them were captured and
the remainder of th,e command was disorganized.
Some four or five hundred Confederates and ne
groes, whom the Yankees had captured from a Con
federate wagon train they had destroyed or picked
up as stragglers, were also recaptured. The whole
command, some fifteen hundred or two thousand,
was dispersed. The dispatch in reference to this
affair says that Col. Brownlow was killed. We un
derstand, however, that he was shot through the
neck and that the wound is not likely to prove fa
tal. He is reported to be in Macou. Brownlow is
the second son ofthe ferocious parson of that name,
and is represented to be a young man of talents.
(jtLORIOYS N'EWS.
REPORTED CAPTURE OF STONEMAN
AND HIS RAIDERS.
At noon yesterday a courier arrived in
Macon with the following dispatch :
Headquarters Gth Regiment. (
August 1, 11 a. m. j
Dr. M. S. Thompsonc
Dear, Sis: Our scouts from the battle-field,
eight miles beyond Clinton, report Stoneman
and his entire force captured, and he will be
in Macon this evening or to-morrow morning.
M. R. Freman.
Although the facts may not he to the full
extent stated, yet earlier intelligence from two
Confederate prisoners who had escaped from
Stoneman’s lines after some hours of deten
tion. rendered it extremely probable that his
force was on the high road to ruin. It was
reported exhausted by the march and by
fighting, much dispirited, counting upon noth
ing but capture, and almost out of ammuni
tion. We are inclined to believe that the
enemy broke up into small squads and put
out on the principle of “de'il take the hind
most,” and that only a portion of the com
mand has been captured. We shall probably
know more before, going to press.
Meanwhile, it is pretty clear that the raid
ers have been squelched to no inconsiderable
extent, and the cavalry force of Sherman will
be very seriously crippled.
[Macon Telegraph , Ist.
THU LATEST FROM STONEMAN.
We learn that a dispatch from Gen. Iver
son to Gen. Ccbb, announces the capture of
Gen. Stoneman and five hundred of his raid
ers, and requests rations be provided for 1400
men, including the prisoners, in Macon, this
(Monday) evening. Thus Stoneman will sup
in Macon as he promised himself, though not
as a conqueror. The remainder of his com
mand scattered off in squads and were being
pursued. It is rumored that some three hun
dred more had been captured, but this was
not certain.— lb.
Look to the Bedrooms.— ls two persons are
to occupy a bedroom during a night, let thorn
step into a pair of scales as they retire, and then
again in the morning and they will find the actual
weigiit to be at least a pound less in the morning.
Frequently there will be a loss of two or more
pounds, and the average loss throughout the year
will be more than one pound. That is, during the
night there is a loss of a pound of matter which
has gone off from the lungs and partly from the
pores of the skin. The escaped material is car
bonic acid and decayed animal matter, or poison
ous exhalations. This is diffused through the air
iu part, and in part, absorbed by the bed-clothes.
If a single ounce of wool or cotton be burned in a
room, it will so completely saturate the air with
smoke that one can hardly breathe, though there
can be an ounce of foreign matter in the air.
If an ounce of cotton be burned evory half hour
during the night, the air will be kept continually
saturated with smoke, unless there can be an open
doer or window, for it to escape. Now the sixteen
ounces of smoke thus formed, is far less poisonous
than the sixteen ounces of the exhalations from
the lungs and bodies of the two persons who have
lost a pound in weight during the eight hours of
sleeping, for while the dry smoke is mainly taken
into the lungs, damp odors from the body are ab
sorbed both into the lungs and the pores of the
whole body.
Need more be said to show the importance of
having bedrooms well ventilated, and of thorough
ly airing the sheets, coverlids, and mattrasses in
the morning before packing them up in the form
of a neatly made bed. — People’* Journal of Health.
"Receuitixg in the Rebel States.”—Regu
lations for “recruitiug in the rebel States for the
loyal States” have been issued by the Government
at Washington:
They provide that the recruiting agents must

each agent is to operate is to be specified in the
letter of appointment.
Recruits procured in accordance with the act
quoted must be delivered by recruiting agents at
one of the following named rendezvous, viz:—
Camp Casey, Washington, District of Columbia,
for Northeast Virginia, camp near Fort Monroe,
for Southeast Virginia, Camp Newbern, North
Carolina. Camp Hilton Head, South Carolina for.
South Carolina and Florida. Camp Vicksburg,
Mississippi, for Mississippi Camp Nashville.
Tennessee, for Georgia andi labama.
When received at rendezvous it shall be the duty
of the United States officers there to have the re
cruit premptly examined, and if accepted to have
$4.00 Per Month
them immediately mustered into th« United States
service, properly provided for and sent to the regi
ments for which they may have been enlisted or
assigned, or to such other regiments as the service
may require.
The aforesaid rendezvous are regarded as mili
tary posts, and will be conducted as such, under
the immediate orders of the War Department.

and wounded.
A mine was sprung on Busbrod Johnson's
front yesterday evening.
Burnside sent a Hag of truce asking permis

was returned with the endorsement that an
application from the Commanding General of
the Army of the Potomac would be entertain
ed. Meade thea sent a flag that the permis

named. This period was diligently occupied,
and over tOO dead were buried. The Yankee
officers said their loss in wounded was 3,000.
There is great complaint against Burnside
for his failure.
Our captures of battle flags reached 20 and
of prisoners 1100.
Yankee prisoners say that Grant is organ

Gen. Elliott is improving. Nothing of in

Richmond, Aug. I.— The Baltimore Gazette of
the 30th has accounts from the Upper Potomac.
They are vory meagre in consequence of a requst
by the military authorities that no mention be
made hereafter of the operations there, unless the
information is of an official character. It appears
the Confederates had not recrossed the Potomac
into Maryland. The latest official dispatches from
Goorgia state that Sherman is steadily drawing
his lines closer around Atlanta.
No tidings from Stoncman.
Despatches from Grant’s army are unimportant.
The condition of affairs in Missouri are represent

had commenced.

Raid oil Macon.
On Friday evening last couriers arrived
in this city with the intelligence that a
large body of Federal cavalry was rapidly
approaching Macon. All the Confederate
troops at this point were immediately or»
dered under arms, and the city militia
were called out to aid in defending their
homes. The citizens responded promptly
and by 7 o’clock on Saturday morning
several thousand of our men were drawn
up in line of battle on Walnut Creek.
Gen. Johnston was requested to assume
command of our forces and, with General
Howell Cobb as his second in command,
soon made ail the necessary preparations
to meet the enemy.
Early in-the morning the Yankees ad
vanced on our line and brisk skirmishing
i commenced. It lasted throughout the
j day when the Federals moved up the rivs
\ er evidently disappointed at meeting so
| large a force to dispute his passage to
Macon.
; The enemy destroyed the bridge across
j Walnut Creek on the Central Railroad,
i and a email trestle bridge about one mile
: beyond. The raiders also tore up a email
| portion of the road, but beyond this did
'no further damage. The bridge across
! Walnut Creek could have been saved had
a proper degree of vigilance been exer
cised. It was not burnt until nearly ten
o’clock in the morning, and had one or
two hundred men been posted there on
Friday night they could have effectually
prevented its being set on fire. As it
was, after being set on fire, it could have
been saved had the ofiUer commanding
the extreme right of our line sent a few
men to drive away the handful of Yankee
skirmishers who were covering the ope*'
rations of the main body. The bridge,
however, was totally destroyed, but we
learn that it can be rapidly rebuilt.
The Federals exhibited their usual bru
tality in throwing shells in the eastern
portion of the city, but we are glad to say
that no non-combatant was injured. Our
j artillery was manned with great precision
; and forced the enemy to abandon his po*
| sition on the left of the Central railroad.
I The militia behaved with great gallantry
I and displayed considerable spirit and pa
! triotism in the promptness of their re-
I sponse to the call to arms. the con
valescent and detailed soldiers were out
and acted with the usual valor of veterans.
Among the defenders of Macon we no
ticed several companies composed princi
pally of officers in the Confederate army,
from colonels to lieutenants, who had
thrown Aside their stars and bars and
shouldered muskets. To particularize any
man or body of men, where all behaved
with the most gratifying spirit of determ is
nation and bravery, would be injustice to
all. We feel proud of the manner in >
which the citizens of Macon emulated the
heroic example of Petersburg and Rich*
mond, and can safely promise that all
raids on this city in the future will be met
in the same manner as this first has been.
Several residences in the suburbs of th%
<*7™ struck by the enemy’s balls and
shells. One house was perforated with
bullets and now presents a battle-scarred
appearance. The residence of one Mrs
Dunlap was occupied by the federals who
tore down her stabling and erected a tem
porary entrenchment across her yard. As
soon as onr artillery opened, our shells
commenced falling around the house and
one passed through the building, compel*
ling the inmates to leave. The Yankees
retreated precipitately to the creek, not
liking the proximity of the “rebel” artil
lery.—Mrs. Dunlap informed us that an
aid of Genl Stoneman visited her house
and informed her that she should be pro
tected from any violence. He was very
boastful and made many inquiries of the
strength of our forces, and the name of
their commander. He told Mrs. D. that
the federals were there to release the
thousands of Yankees who were confined
in Macon, without anything to sleep on,
and with but little to eat. The Yankees
took away all of the negroes belonging to
this lady.
Our casualties were heavy, and resulted
from the inexperience of the. militia,
whose valor made them forget prudenoe
at times. Our total loss could not have
been less than sixty, of which some six
teen were killed outright. Below Ive
give a list, copied from the Intel
ligencer of yesterday evening. Before
going to press we may receive a complete
list, which will be given to our readers.

FROM PETERSBURG.
The heavy cannonading and skirmishing of
Saturday night resulted in no advantages to
the enemy, although they made a serious
l effort to push forward their lines. The in
| fantry skirmishing, which has not been men
! tioned in connection with the demonstration,
| is described by wounded participants who
i arrived here as having been quite severe. On
I some parts of the line the skirmishers were
i within less than 75 yards of each other. Our
j losses, however, were slight, although this
1 kind of fighting was kept up long after the
1 artillery had ceased. The Express of yester-
I day says that only the usual mortar shelling
! and picket firing occured during Saturday and
I Sunday night. On yesterday, we learn from
passengers, quiet prevailed. The wintry rain
of the morning seemed to give a dull and
quiet air to the whole theatre of operations.
The enemy, it is said, have been digging con
siderably of late, with a view of establishing
j advanced positions, their system of approach
I being by diagonal lines. It is these opera
; tions that have called forth so much nocturn
, al cannonading from our batteries recently,
1 and to them is due, no doubt, the heavy
I demonstration of Saturday night.
FROM THE|vALLEY.
The fact i3 settled beyond all question that
our captures from Maryland and Pennsylvania
are safe, and far beyond the reach of the ene
my. supposing them hazardous enough to
attempt a raid into the heart of Virginia at
this particular time. We have some few fur
ther particulars from our forces down the
' Valley.
It seems that our main forces were at Berrys
ville on Wednesday last, when, hearing of the
' approach of Crook and Averill, the commanding
General sent Ramseur towards Winchester to
■ check them. The enemy being in superior force,
; and coming upon our men when they were not
looked for, succeeded in forcing them back, caj>-
taring, killing and wounding about three hundred,
and taking three pieces of artillery. Our men
fell back upon the main force, when the latter
moved forward, causing Crook and Averill to beat
a hasty retreat, which they continued till they got
over to the north side of the Potomac. It was
reported in Staunton on yesterday that our forces
were then on the Potomac —whether nur entire
force or not, remains to be seen.
FROM TfiE JAMES.
Reports from the James, brought in by seouts
cn Sunday night, estimate the foree of the enemy
which had crossed over from Bermuda Hundreds,
at a considerable figure. Sopae say that it amounts
to at least a corps. The rain of Sunday night and
yesterday may have kept them quiet, or the move
ments of Gen. Lee caused them, or a portion of
them, to return. Nothing was heard from them
on yesterday.
