"\ll men between 55 and 60, able to ride and carry ' are to act as a police force in their respec- K counties. The Aida dc Camp are specially in ducted to order them upon this duty, and any man tween these ages, able for service; who refuses, «i!l be sent to the front. They arc to ride all through the county, confining themselves to no par ticular district or plantation, and are to give their whole time to this business. As they can sleep in houses at night, they can do this duty, when they would not be fit for other military service. They will visit the plantations, correct insubordinate ne groes, and do all in their power to protect property and preserve order. It is believed there are but few counties in the .State, in which there are not in the county, one man able for service for each 500 negroes. If there hould not be that number in any county, the Info , Court wilt recommend for detail a number of men subject to the late call sufficient to make up the lefioiency. These should be selected from such overseers and others as have most control over the negroes. The recommendations of the courts must he sent to these headquarters, where they will be allowed, if the evidence of deficiency in the num ber of old men is satisfactory. The court must accompany the application for ihe detail by a certificate, giving the following facts: : Ist. The number of slaves in the county. -d. The number and names of the old men be tween 55 and 60 in the county, with the name of o h, who is too feeble through tho county, id The names of the persons recommended by iho courts to make up the deficiency if any. All details granted by the courts without an order from these headquarters, are valid, and will be so treated by all Aids-de-Camp and other Stato officers, who will send nil such detailed men to the front imme ".A.s the late interruption in the railroad transpor may have caused some of the militia who hau started to Macon to return home for want of transportation, all such are required to press for ward to Macon without delay, as tho channels of ammunication will be opon again in a day or two. .-ill officers at home will exercise great energy in -ending all men subject to the call forward prompt ly, under arrest when necessary.

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. A claim 13 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 thoir surplus produc tions by exchange as aforesaid, Enrolling Officers will arrest all suoh 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 tho proper chan nels of communication to this Bureau a report of all the facts and circumstance? 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 of his marketable sup plies in accordance with the requirements of the law."

ABERCROMBIE, Maj. & Act’g A. D. C. Per N. W. Garrard, Capt. & 0. 0. augS 2t We have before us a copy of a late number of the Danville (Ky.) Tribune, in which the condition of things is represented in most gloomy color?. The editor says that “Ken tucky is to-day in an infinitely worse condi tion than she has been since the inauguration of the present unhappy civil strife. The fu ture appears more dark and foreboding than the present." After indulging in some severe criminations of the administration, and a somewhat exten ded examination of the causes by which this state of things was brought about, the editor proceeds as follows : The free-born white men of Kentucky have been refused for the defence of their own State and negroes have been accepted in their stead. The authority of our Governor—loyal, brave and patriotic—has been virtually set aside by the declaration of martial law in our State, and the unlimited-control of matters given in to the hands of the military. We are treated as though we were a State in rebellion, and are cramped and restrained in the exercise of those rights and privileges our unquestioned loyalty to the Government should guarantee us. And while we are smarting under the imposition of these wrongs, let us remember who have brought them upon us—who are the responsible parties. If the editor had candidly reviewed the conduct of the men of Kentucky who have failed to take part in the glorious struggle foi independence against Federal oppression, he could no longer have been at a loss to fix the responsibility for the degredation to which that noble Commonwealth is now reduced.— Had they flocked to our standards, as they should have done, they would not now be sub jected to the humiliation of obeying negro masters.— Rebel. The “Peace Negotiations.”— The New York Tribune, whose editor, ley, was one of. the parties to the so-called “Peace Negotiations” has the following paragraphs on the subjects. The most significant part is the last sentence : The telegraphic stories concerning Peace Conferences at Niagara Falls have a slender foundation in fact, hut most of the details are very wide of the truth. The editor of this paper has taken part in and been privy to no further negotiations than were fully authorized and more than authorized. But these relate solely to bringing the antagonists face to face, in amicable rather than belligerent attitude, with the view to the initiation of an ear' nest effort for peace, to be prosecuted at Washington. The movement has had no immediate success. Os course, all reports that the writer has been engaged in proposing or receiv* ing or discussing hypothecated terms or basis of peace, whether with accredited agents of the Richmond authorities or others, are utterly mistaken. He has never had the slightest authorization to do anything of the sort; and he is quite aware of those provisions of law which re late to volunteer negotiations with public enemies. Those provisions he heartily approves, and is nowise inclined to vio late. More than this he does not feel at lib erty to state, though he soon may be. And all that he can now add is his gen eral inference that the pacification of our country is neither so difficult nor so dis tant as seems to be generally supposed. Tlte Presidential Campaign The New York News thinks that the union of the Democracy “to drive the vandal hosts from the “capital" never gave a richer promise of success than at this present time. The News says : 1 ue feeling of the country, showing it» self in unmistakable signs for peace, has alarmed the Administration, and the shod*, dy hordes see clearly, as did the guilty Belshazzer, that they have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. That the candidate nominated at Chi> cago will be placed on j a peace platform, the coming events, which cast their shad ows before, abundantly prove. The feel ing for peace is a growing one. Already it is the prevailing sentiment ot the coun try, and has ceased to be regarded as among the political chances at Chicago, for it is as certain as if written in the book of fate. And still it grows and will continue to grow until those who profess to be Democrats, and oppose it, will be but as exceptions to the general rule that all are in its favor. The Democracy must be united to sus' tain their nominee, and united as one man they will be, and he who will be lukewarm or oppose a candidate upon so glorious a platform will be classed as among those who have been bought up by the friends of Lincoln to divide and distract the par ty. It will be a glorious sight, to aee the conservative men of the country united in the only national party now in existence, battling against those who have sunk the Government and wrecked the Union, up on a platform of peace, where all who !o?c the republic and reverence the Con stitution can stand as a band of brothers. - ♦ Emerson Etheridge is delivering addresses at different place- in Illinois.

Arrival of Three Hundred More Prisoners. —The Central train yesterday brought in three hundred more ot Stone man’s raiders, captured near Athens, Ga., by Allen’s Alabama brigade of Iverson’s division. Alter they were defeated at Sunshine Church they fled to the right of the road, and went to Madison, and from thence to the neighborhood of Athens where Gen. Allen overtook and captured the most that were left. It is thought that only a few of the whole command of Stoneman remain, and they will be cap tured by Gen. Allen’s command. Never did an expedition prove more disastrous than has this raid of Stoneman. It is literally and completely destroyed. Its chief is a prisoner, and his entire com mand either killed or captured. —Macon Confederate , 9th. Another Raid. —Certain information has been received that the enemy in North Mississippi is getting ready for another raid. There are from fifteen to twenty thousand of them at LaGrange, their ads vance resting at Holly Springs, with which they have railroad communication This news was telegraphed by Gen. Forrest to the Governor of Mississippi. He stated that without more force it would be im> possible for him to check the progress of the enemy. The news came unexpected* ly ou the Legislature, which met on the 3d instant, at Macon. —Mobile Register. A Tough Toast.— Any one who has been in St. Augustine, Florida, any length of time, must have seen or heard of old C , who has, until recently kept a store in that city, who had the misfortune to be deaf. He had a stock of good liquor in the cellar, and the officers at the post of course cultivated C- ’s acquaintance, and appeared very friendly, although some of them disliked him, and thought he was a little too “stingy,” but they were always ready to drink when he asked them to “take something.” On one occasion he invited a few of them into his back room; the old “rye” was turned out and the glasses raised, when one officer who wished to amuse his companions a little at C ’s expense, gave the following toast in rath er a low tone of voice : “Mr. C , here is hoping that you will go to h—l.” Old C did not hear what was said, but seeing the officer’s lips move, sups posed that he had paid him the usual com pliment of drinking his health, and promptly responded : “The same to you, sir, and all oi your family.” The laugh was turned on the officer, who was punished for his impoliteness. Emigration to the West. —The emigration across the plains was never so large as it is at this season. The St. Louis papers state that accounts from all the territories agree in speaking of the emigration as being beyond all previous reports or calculation. At one time during the month of May, upwards of 100,000 were journeying westward, in all sorts of conveyances, between Denver City, Jules burg, and the Missouri frontier. The steam ers between this city and San Francisco never did so large a business. It is easy enough to account for thi3 “change of base” on the part of so many of our people. A land of gold is more attractive than a land of greenbacks ; peace is preferable to war, and the pursuits of industry to the pursuit of arms. Many of the emigrants are from the unsettled regions of the border States, and fly to the Pacific shore to escape the actual horrors of war. We fear that many of them are not as loyal as they might be, and that perhaps the influence of these people upon the future destinies of California and the embryo States may lead to difficulties in the future. In any event, this heavy addition to the population of the mineral-bearing ter ritories i3 of very great significance and importance.— Yankee Paper. How the Monky Goes. —We have frequently seen a statement of the great weight of lead required to be fired in a battle for the killing or wounding of a single man. But does any body ever reflect, that to free the negroes emancipated by the war. we have expended more than double the weight of every individ ual estimated in hard silver money ? Such is the actual fact. The cost of the war np to the present time would amount to over sixty thousand tons of sterling silver. Averaging the weight of negroes big and little, at seventy pounds, and double it in silver as the cost of each darkie s freedom, and we find that oar war expenses would pay at that rate for 960,000 “citizens of African decent. That's the wav the money goes ! —Boston Courier. Rhmoval. of a Tape-Wohx. —One of the most remarkable cases we have ever heard of in medical practice occurred in onr borough on the 26th alt. It consisted in the success ful removal of what is knowu in medical science as a bothria-cephalus lahut, from a patient by the name of Theressa Herwedel, who is in the employ of Mr. Valentine Erney.

Some few shells are still thrown into the city, without doing damage. The enemy evince no disposition to extend their right farther, which rests near the Camn belltown road. A captain and lieutenant from McCook's raiders, who deserted from our army last win ter, were captured yesterday. Petersburg, Aug. 9. — About noon to-dar a heavy explosion occurred in the rear of the enemy’s lines, on the City Point Road : cause unexplained. Rather more than usual sharpshooting and mortar shelling this evening. Weather sultry: slight rain to-day. We see by the latest New York papers— copies of which we received yesterday via Havana, of the 21st tilt.—that the great land expedition which was presumed to be organ izing at New Orleans, was to start from Pen sacola in order to create a diversion in favor of Sherman. The object, they think, is to cut off all communication with Montgomery by Mobile. The Steamer Runyan Sunk. —The stea mer Runyan cleared at this port for St. Louis, on Wednesday, July 29th. having a full freight and passenger list. On the night of Friday, the 2d inst., while running at her usual rate, she ran on a snag near Egg Point, and immediately sunk in 1*» feet water. The cabin passengers were all saved by the U. S. gunboat Forrest Rose, which was close at hand when the accident happened. The steamer sank so rapidly that the most of the deck passengers were lost. These consisted chiefly of soldiers returning home, whose term of service had expired, and refugee? going North. From the most reliable state ments we can get, there are probably 60 or 70 lives lost. After the Forrest Rose had taken all from the Runyan which she could get, the cabin of the Runyan, which had floated off from the hull some distance down the stream and was lying on a sand bar, was burned to prevent it from guerilla visits.— Vicksburg ITerald, 26 th. Foreigners.— A Yankee correspondent in Sherman’s army amuses himself with the fol lowing story of a woman he, or some of his comrades, met in North Georgia. The old lady had a very correct idea, in the main, on the subject of foreigners : “You'ns fellows don't fight wee’ns fair.' 7 said the old lady, with the air of a Madam Roland. ♦ “How so ?" said the soldier. “Why, yqu’ns fight wid bags, and that's not fair,” said the old lady, drawing a very indignant puff'from the pipe; “besides,' said she, “you’ns have forruners iightiu.’ - “Not that I know.” “You’ns cain’t come over me that way; wasn’t there fellows from a place called New York here to-day ?” + ♦ “For fast our car of triumph comes Along the grooves of time.” The lines we have prefixed from Colonel Hawkiu?' poem, “Behind the Bars,” (which we should be very glad if our correspondent would furnish us en tire, arc a text for a sermon beyond our power to preach. At the sound of such words, not struck from the chords of the idle, sentimental lyrist, but swelling forth from the depths of a Yankee prison, what Southern heart does qpt feel itself expanding with the grandeur of the idea which inspires, sus tains and animates our suffering unfortunate sol diers ? It is a stern and sublime faith which here speaks, imaging forth the ultimate result of this dreadful struggle as an event as fixed as any mechanical principle. The unerring decrees of destiny—God’s holy decrees—are urging forward the inevitable consummation, and no strategem or cunning device of tho enemy can turn it aside from its course. It is no erratic purpose of affinite mind which is to be worked out with such success as attendant circum stances may permit, but a purpose which “in the fullness of time” will reach its accomplishment, along the path which the Almighty has traced out for it. The broad-winged oak leviathans of the deep may be swept by the tempest from their un - stable course, ana dashed upon the rocks; an ob stacle may divert the locomotive and its train from the track, and hurl it down the precipice, a pile of shapeless wreck; but “the grooves of time,” were cut by no human hand, traced by no finite mind, nor can human devices divert or stay the progress of the “car of triumph” which moves along them. Such is the heroic trust of our imprisoned breth ren. Let us be worthy of their kinship.— Mobile Adv. & Ren. Yankee Women in Arms.—The New Albany Ledger learns that a most painful tragedy occurred near Mauckport, Harrison county, Indiana, on Sun day last. A young lady by :he name of Miller went to church wearing a kind of “butternut” emblem.— This created a considerable feeling among some of the Republican ladies of the congregation, After the services were over, Mrs. Timberlake, wife of Henry Timberlake, and nephew of Co]. John Tim berlake, volunteered to go and take away the em blem. She rushed towards Miss Miller and a gen eral fight occurred among the women, when Colonel John Timberlake came into the crowd, apparently greatly excited. A young man named Henry Lohmire, who accom panied Miss Miller to church, warned Timberlake not to interfere, Lohmire himself endeavoring to separate the lady combatants. Timberlake replied to Lohmire, “you are nothing but a rebel anyhow.” Lohmire warned Timberlake not to repeat the language. Timberlake replied in a still more defiant manner, "you are a d —d rebel. ,” and, some accounts say, struck Lohmire in the face, and put his hand to a side pocket a e if to draw a weapon, whereupon Lohmire drew a pistol and shot twice, both shots taking effect. The first ball passed through Timberlake’s band and into hi shoulder, the second entered his side and passed through his heart, causing instant death. The affair, as may be imagined, caused great ex citement in the neighborhood, where a bad feeling had prevailed for some time. Timberlake was for merly Lieut. Colonel of the 81st Indiana. Lohmire is a young man—a mere boy in fact—who is said by those who know him to be of gentle disposition. He at once proceeded to Oorydon, where he surrender ed himself and was put in jail.— St. Louiu liepubC can, 14 th. FOR SALS Or Exchange for Country Produce.
