The sale to the Government or to the families of soldiers, at prices fixed by the Commissioners of the State, under the Impressment Act, of the mar ketable surplus remaining after furnishing the Gov ernment with the stipulated quantity of provisions, 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.

Hellas been out three or four weeks, and Is supposed to be lurking atout tity* «• v. tl. UAjO. if 4 Thursday Evening. Capt. Thomas Ragland. It is with the most heartfelt sorrow that we are called upon to announce the death of Capt. Thomas Ragland, the oldest son of the Proprietor of the Columbus Enquirer, He fell in the battle of the 29th ult., at Atlanta, while gallantly leading his company in a charge upon the enemy. He com manded a company attached to the 11th Alabama .Regiment. Capt. Ragland, in all the relations of life, was as near faultless as it is ever the good fortune of man to be. He was modest, tender and affectionate, as well as just and honorable in all his associations and dealings with society. In the battle-field he was brave and daring, almost to a fault. He leaves many relatives to mourn his loss, amongst them a tender and beloved wife and three little children.— May the husband of the widow and the father of the orphan bind up and comfort their bleeding hearts, We do net feel it out of place to express our deep est sympathy with his aged and grief-stricken fa ther. At the commencement of the war the latter was surrounded by a happy family, consisting in part of four sons, a son-in-law and a grandson. He promptly surrendered them all to the service of his country, taking upon himself the exclusive charge of a large female family of children and grandchil dren. The son-in-law, Major Thomas Camak, fell at the battle of Gettysburg. Two other of his sons have been severely wounded—one of them three several times, and now the rude battle-axe has clo ven down his pride and hope. Verily his family has done its whole duty, and, if the rewards be com mensurate with the sacrifices, his grey hairs will not go down to the grave sorrowing as those who have no comfort. Correspondence of the Times. Army of Tennhsseh, August 1, 1864. Ed. Times : We still hold the same lines around the city of Atlanta which we have occupied for the past several days. Rumors are abundant as to many contemplated move ments by Sherman as well as by Hood, but a rumor in camp or out of it, is generally unre liable, and so I shall not mention them. One thing, however, I can say with certainty— Gen. Hood will not retreat from his position, nor can the enemy force him from it either by battle or manoeuvre. It is also sure that he will not attack Sherman’s present position. The enemy will most probably make his present position as strong as possible—avoid a general engagement—and from the Chatta hoochee as a base, seek to devastate and lay waste the country south of us by cavalry raids. This is the prospect now before us for the next few weeks. Let the country below take warning in time—hide out their provisions, and prepare for the worst. Though we are passing through a most trying crisis, there is no cause for despondency. If we are worthy of the high boon of Liberty, we shall prove ourselves equal to the emergency The trials through which we are now passing are not comparable to the hardships endured and the terrible sacrifices made by our Fathers in the days of 'T6. If the people will but be true to them selve—mark my prediction—the ides of No vember will find Sherman shorn of his laurels —his army vanquished, beaten, disorganized —and the hallowed Cross of the South floating in triumph from the mountains ofKeutude to the sea board of Georgia. No people cky termined to be free can be conquered—and when once the forces of Sherman are beaten by the concentration of our armies, we shall hold the undisputed possession of the States from Richmond to the Rio Grande. The people may look confidently to General Hood and the incomparable army under his command—it is composed of as noble heroes as ever honored any land or any age. You often read of the gallantry of general officers, but there are unknown heroes her* whose deeds, were they all made public, would place them by the side of Leonidas, on the scroll of immortality. I am sure that you will pardon the intru sion on your columns, while I write down only a sketch of some of these, which have occur red under my observations—and more willing ly, when I tell you that those mentioned are citizens from your own patriotic city. The assault on the enemy’s works on the 22d of July by Hardee’s corps, was, perhaps, as desperate an engagement as the annals of this war contain. In that portion of the corps where the deadlest charges were to be made the 54th Georgia was placed, and its colors were in charge of Capt. C. R. Russel's com paay from Columbus. To advance those col ors across an open space of some six hun dred yards in the face of a most tremendous fire of shot, shell and balls hurled steadily by an awakened enemy from behind strongly entrenched works, was the seemingly hope less task of that devoted company; yet, on they more; the missiles of death rain terribly upon that devoted band. General officers, subalterns and privates fall on either side, and in their very midst, but in that company, cheered onby their gallant Captain, not a man falters. On they go, leaving the dead and dy ing and wounded behind, and in the midst of death’s high carnival, plant their glorious flag on the very battlements of the enemy. As an evidence of the desperation of this charge, that flagwa3 shot through in one hun dred and fifteen different places, and its staff was twice broken by; the enemy’s shot. I must not omit to say that the brave and gal lant man who carried this flag is Dickson G. Russell, who, before the war, did business in the Drug store of Brooks & Chapman. His name deserves to live, while deeds of glory and heroism find a place in history. The night succeeding thatmemorable charge was one of untold suffering, yet the weunded and dying weie kindly attended to. The low moans of a dying man in close proximity to the enemy's line attracted the ; attention of some of our men. It waa a moan of terrible suffering, but as it came from a position within a few steps of the wakeful Yankee pickets, it might cost that man his life who would attempt to relieve the sufferer, vet one was found to make the effort. Capt. C. R. Russell advanced slowly and cautiously on his haads and knees until he reached the sufferer, and finding, from an enquiry made ■54.00 Per Month in a whisper, that it was Capt. Parks, (broth er to Rev. H. H. Parks) he actually succeeded in bringing hitn away from the presence of j the enemy. Cun such an army ever be con ! quered ? . MASON. The Maryland Campaign. Ed. Time!: It has been stated in several papers, that .after the battle of Monocacy Bridge, near Frederic City, Maryland, many of our wounded were left at Monocacy Bridge; it gives a soldier who participated in the battle, much pleasure to as sure the friends of the unfortunate wounded left in Maryland, that they were not left at the bridge, but carried to a superior hospital in the city, and kindly cared for. Proper arrangements were made for them to receive proper medical and surgical at tention. Many persons have also speculated upon the probable results of the campaign : of our losses at the battle of the Monocacy; the troops engaged, and the amount of property secured to the Confed erate army by the expedition. The infantry engaged were principally from one Division of the army, (Gordon’s.) Evans’, Georgia Brigade, charged seven or eight hundred yards across an open field and broke the Yankee line af ter a desperate contest. At this juncture, Terry’s Va., and York's La. Brigades, following up the movement of the leading Brigade, struck the ene my’s line on Evans’ left, when immediately the Yankees fled, in utter rout, leaving their killed and wounded in our hands; besides about seven hun dred prisoners. Our loss iu the engagement could not have ex ceeded seven hundred; Evans' Brigade losing about half that number. The Yankees made no other stand without the fortifications of Washington city. The enemy’s troops who contested our advance at Monocacy Bridge, consisted for the most part in the 6th Corps of Grant’s army from Petersburg.— They, however, had other troops on the field.— Their whole force was commanded by Maj. Gen. Wallace. After retreating from the fron t of Wash ington City, we leisurely crossed to the South side of the Potomac, near Leesburg, on or near the 17th of July, with our cavalry newly mounted.; our ar tillery drawn by fresh horses, besides a very large numuer brought out from Maryland by various means. We had some valuable officers and men, but had we remained South of the Potomac, it is highly probable that we would have had equally as much fighting, and our losses, also, as heavy. Upon the whole, the invasion must have been very advan tageous to our cause. It is thought, however, that it could have been made more so. EMMETT GREY. The Spirit of a Noble Soldier.— The gallant Major General W. H. T. Walker, a few days before his death, remarked to the editor of the Atlanta Intelligencer that “he had rather receive his death wound than see At lanta surrendered without contesting every inch of ground for its possession that he “would hang his head in shame to see Geor gia overrun by the enemy, and her men falter ing in their duty.” -» » A Rebel Demonstration on Huntsville. — Saturday morning last a large rebel force—Forrest reported in command—attacked the stockade at Brownsboro, on the railroad between Stevenson and Huntsville, and, after 8 brief but spirited re sistance on the part of our men, the rebels cap tured the post. The garrison consisted of about one hundred men, most of whom succeeded in making their escape. Immediately after the cap ture of Brownsboro, the rebel force advanced on Huntsville, and after a sharp skirmish, drove the pickets into the fortifications commanding the ap proach to the town. Huntsville is occupied by about 5,000 Federal troops. When our informant left, the rebels had made no regular attack upon the position, though an assault on the works was hourly expected. The rebel force was estimated at from ten to twelve thousand men, most of whom were mounted. Our troops were in fine spirits and “eager for the fray.” They felt confident in their ability to repel all attacks that the rebel column might make upon their position.— Nashville Times, 21 st. The Intelligencer is permitted to make the fol lowing extract from a letter from Milledgeville of August 2, 1864, to Governor Brown, from Gen. Henry C. Wayne: “The enemy are pretty well run out, though small parties are hanging about trying to get back. From good information there were 200 yesterday at Whitaker’s plantation, 12 miles from here, making their way towards Eatonton. The infan try party I sent out to Eatonton fired upon the rear of the raiders as they passed them in the town. The mounted men under Capt. Talbot, aid to the late Gen. W. H. T. Walker, had a small brush with a party but another party coming up he had to get out of the way. Four of his men missing. Capt. Homes' party not yet returned. The party I sent down yesterday under Colonel Holland to repair the track, Ac., has not yet re turned. I wrote you yesterday in duplicate. * * The presence of the party saved Milledgeville, as this was one of the points aimed at. Two of the prisoners, stragglers, walked deliberately into town thinking their cavalry in possession. The body of 200 came within three miles of the town, but seeing the camp-fires made a rapid counter march.” Scene in the Market.— Yesterday afternoon, as we were perambulating in the midst of hun dreds of others in the Southern market, gazing at the great quantities of every commodity that was there exposed for sale, we finally found ourselves near a large coop of gophers, which was standing a couple of very modest looking, well dressed ladies. “What did you say these were, sir?” inquired one of them of the owner of the stall. “Well, some folks call them gophers, others Pen sacola chickens,” said he. “Yes,” she remarked, them’s the kind Ma told us to get; give m a hen and a rooster.—Mobile Tribune. Missouri.—A late St Louis dispatch says : “Until further orders no steamboats will be al lowed to ascend the Missouri river above Jefferson City without sufficient arms, ammunition and crews competent to defend them against the guer rillas, who are swarming the counties along the stream.” And we see it stated elsewhere that the operations of the guerillas have called forth a pro clamation from Rosecrans to the people of North western Missouri, stating they have deceived him. While they promised to preserve peace and aid the Government, they have put arms and ammu nition into tho hands of the guerillas. He tells them nothing is now left for them to do but to wholly renounce and helpte exterminate the com mon enemy, or that their country will beeome desolate. The Presidential Canvass in the U. States.— There is some amusement in looking at the mass of Yankee vermin seething and crambling over the carcasses #f the presidency. A lively meeting es the Fremont maggots took place in New York city last week. The fattest and strongest of them, “Rev.” Dr. Cheever, worked his way to the top, and let off the following against the present mo nopolizer of the corps: How long shall this man be a snare to us f K now ye not that the people are destroyed ? And toe people would be willingly drafted to the last man, if the President would only use the array to sweep the rebellion. But to be drafted by driblets, only in season to be lost, while by this folly the rebellion . has fattened and been strengthened-this is agony intolerable. To be massacred by dnblett that the continued necessity of war may be an argument for continuing Mr. Lincoln in the presidency. | I Entered *ocordin» t ***** Asa °CiAn on. “ toe- iut „ ain S U. *At th. defeat of the LdJ mQ#k eUt * m, ■ -4tr f ,b " !9 ' h ”“«■*» it. death of h, The Yankees ® B M hn»vv'' losses in the battle of the 22d. at 2,500.

We have not taken Atlan- ' ta. but probably have surrounded it. Reliable information received, Every thing is gmng oa right. i The Times special Baltimore correspondent savs Morgan joined Early and Breckinridge. The steamer Scoto from Liverpool, the 16th. has | arrived. The reported fight between the Kearsage and Florida is untrue. An Influential Delegation, on the 15th waited on Lord Palmerston, urging a mediation in Amer ican affairs, on a plea of humanity. Pa’merstoa said both the North and South were equally *aa guine of sucoess, while the South was especially jealous of interference. If au opportunity for mediation should offer, the Government would gladly avail themselves of it. Mason has had an unofficial interview with Lord Palmerston. New Yoek, July 27th.—A Washington correa pondent mentions the defeat of Averill, Crook and Hunter by Early, who immediately advanced on Harper’s Ferry.

Camp Gracie’s Brig., | Near Petersburg, July 27, '64. ) Dditor Times : It is now evident that Grant is moving a part of his forces across the James river, if not his entire com mand. The Yankee corps confronting our right wing has gone to Malvern Hill, pursued by Longstreet. It is rumored in camps that Grant is concentrating his for ces there very rapidly. If so you may expect to hear of hard fighting in this State, as it will be in open field. The monotony of the times have not undergone any change until now. We are sick of lying in our ditches, and hope that Grant may carry his command there and let us fight them on the north side of the river, a brisk artillery duel is going on daily hut nothing is gained on either side. Our sharp shooters are firing night and day We are anxious to hear from Georgia, as a great deal depends on the fight which will come off there soon. Our troops have all confidence in Hood and think it politi* in the President to remove Johnston. Our brigade has almost been annihilas ted in the last two months, Though a Georgian, I feel proud to be a member of such a brigade of Alabamians. Our reg iment has suffered but little comparatively with the others of our brigade. We have lost a few men and no officer of our regi> ment except Lieut. W. TANARUS, Owen, of Cos. A, who was severely wounded at Chicka mauga, and in consequence of his wound was retired. He has not been with us much since being wounded, though hai participated in several battles in this cam» paign. Bill is a clever fellow and a good officer and we regret to see him leave us, but nine out of ten would have resigned long since. When he left he said that he intended joining cavalry in Johnston’s army. We hope him much success in the new branch of service, as there is no dis count on him in infantry. T. S. B. The Army News. —We have agaii but little ta report, as having occurred during the last twenty-four hours. Occa sionally there was considerable shelling at various points during the day, but without any important result on either side. In the row the city was not forgotten, a large number of shells having been thrown at it. We have but one casualty to report— the killing of an old lady residing in a little house at the extreme horth end of Marietta street. The enemy is extending his line on hia right, and have occupied a position run ning across the Sandtown road, his ex treme right resting on a small creek, some distance below the road. If this be so, the object undoubtedly is to gradually aps proach the Macon road in that direction. Having been so severely punished and re pulsed when making a similar movement on his left, on the 22d, seems to have no effect in deterring him from making the experiment again. From the vicinity of Stone Mountain we have intelligence that the planters in that region, and along the line of the State road, have been completely stripped of their horses and mules. The Yankees made it a point to seize all of those that were the most serviceable. They were very particular in their search for fire arms, and every “shooting iron” found was destroyed. A friend suggests that if our people do not intend to bushwhack the rascals as they go prowling through the country, the loss of the fowling pieces on hand will make but little difference, and he is right. If we do not intend to use the means we have, we shall be as well off without them.— Appeal , 2d.
