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.” By order of Col.

O Stanford, McGhee, Dr Tuggle. \ 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 have a letter of appointment from the State Exe cutive The particular field of a State in which each agent is to operate is to be specified in the letter of appointment.

Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1863, by J. S. Thrasher, in the Clerk’s office of the District Court of the Confederate States for the Northern District of Georgia. Latest from Tirginia. Columbia, July 81.—A fire occurred to-day in O’Neal s warehouse, which destroyed over 1500 bale? of cotton: about two-thirds in sured. Richmond, August l.—The Yankees on the North side of the James river, at Deck Bottom, have crossed to the South side, uniting with the main body of Grant’s army'. Petersburg, August l. —Our losses in Sat urday’s affair foot up 1200—300 killed and wounded, and 300 prisoners from Elliott’s S. C. Brigade. Mahone's losses were 450 killed and wounded. A mine was sprung on Busbrod Johnson's front yesterday evening. Burnside sent a Hag of truce asking permis sion to bury his dead. The communication 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 sion was granted, and the hours Irom sto 9 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 izing a grand raid against the Weldon Rail road. Gen. Elliott is improving. Nothing of in terest to-day. 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 ed to be deplorable in the extreme; war retaliation had commenced. Martial Law- is being rigidly enforced in Ken tucky. The latest quotation of Gold in New York 2521-4. [Private Dispatch.] To J. D. Stewart. Petersburg, July 30. —Captain Redd, killed; Lieut.

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. List of killed and wounded in the bat tle before Macon, July 80th, 1864 : Killed : J. B.

[From the Richmond Enquirer, July 26.] The Slews. 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. LOST ! BETWEEN the Post Office and Triangle street. a HANDERCHIEF, badly patched.
