Prom tie Georgia Army.
The many mass five lines of battle in front of
Tyler's Brigade—They charge with two lines ,
holding the other three in reserve—Repulsed
with great slaughter— -37th Georgia Regiment
and 15 th and 3 7th Tennessee, each, captures a
stand of Yankee colon,
In thb Fibld, Aug. 6, 1864.
The day after Hardee s victory, on 22d ult.,
this (Bates’) Division wa<? detatohed from
Hardee’s Corps, (to which it belongs) and or
dered on the extreme left wing of the army to
meet a t ontemplated flank movement of the
enemy. The Division is temporarily attached
to Lee'S Corps. On the sth it was deployed in
a double skirmish line on the extreme left. J
At 5 o’clock this morning the enemy, with a |
heavy line of skirmishers, charged the skir- !
mish pits of the 37th Georgia Regiment, driv-
ing in the videttes. They were promptly met
and repulsed, Lt. Col. Smith, commanding
the regiment, immediately re-establishing his
videttes. They renewed the attack upon the
entire front of Tyler’s Brigade at 10 a. m.,
with similar result. Failing to make any
impression in this way, they massed five lines
of battle in a ravine 150 yards in front of the
rifle pits and charged with two lines, coming
np in splendid order. They arrived in twenty
steps of the rifle pits, when their shattered
ranks —w-ith the decisive aim and eccelerated
firing of our boys, who stood as firm as ada
mant—admonished them to retreat for dear
life, which they did in utter rout. In front of
the 2d Tennessee and 15th and 37th Tennessee
(consolidated) the ground broke off very
abrubtly; many of the enemy sought the
cover of this hill and as soon as out of view
laid down. Col. T.'B. Smith, the gallant
commander of the brigade, being advised of
this, brought up his reserve and ordered an
advance, himself leading the van. His brig
ade, that, to a man love him like a brother,'
mounted the rifle pits and sprung forward.
They had not moved far before the incessant
roar of small arms advertised the entire army
that hot work was again going on.
We killed and wounded almost the entire
party who had taken shelter behind the hill,
the rest, about 30 in number, being captured.
Upon arriving at the edge of the ravine, the
' eagle eye of our brigade commander discov
ering the enemy moving up his reserve, pru
dently and promptly withdrew his line to his
rifle pits. The dead and wounded covered the
ground. The slaughter was immense, amount
ing, in killed and wounded, to 1,000 men.
Knapsacks, canteens, a large quantity of guns
and occoutrements, several rifles of the Henry’s,
Colt’s and Spencer’s patents, watches, swords,
pistols, etc., etc., are among the victors’ spoils.
The 37th Georgia and 15th and 37th Ten
nessee each, captured an elegant stand of
colors (Yankee.) Private Strickland,* Cos. E,
37th Ga., whose courage is not to be too high
ly spoken of, captured one. The color Ser
geant of the latter regiment—name not known
—equally brave, captured the other, and I
regret, fell dead after leaving it safely behind
the rifle pits.
In this bloody contest, Tennesseeans were
pitted against Tennesseeans. A deserter from
the 15th and 37th Tennessee (Rebel) was
wounded and captured fighting in the Bth
Tennessee (Federal.) Prisoners captured rep
resent regiments from the Western States,
from Schofield s Corps. The personal comfort
of the boys is much enhanced by the clothing
drawn from the battle-field.
The intrepid Bates, who has the' honor of
organizing—and so often led—this brigade to
victory, feels no little gratification that it has
added a bright lustre to its untarnished fame
in the pliant hands of its present accomplished,
enterprising, and dashing commander. Lt. Col.
Smith, commanding the 37th Georgia, by his
calm exterior and inspiring presence, infused
his unerring marksmen with a coolness that
told with dire effect upon the miscegenators.
Lt. Col. Shy, commanding the 20th Tenn.,
Lt. Shute. same regiment, Capt. Dwyer, com--
manding the 15th and 37th Tenn., Capt. Fry,
same regiment, and Col. Robinson, 2d Tenn.,
are especially worthy of mention for meritori
ous conduct. The bearing of these parties is
not spoken of to the disparagement of others,
where all acted well, but as having come un
der the immediate notice of the writer.
Yours, OCCASIONAL.
P. S.—Below, find a Congratulatory Order
of the corps commander, which has just been
received :
HEADQ RS LEE’S CORPS, l
In the Field, August 7th. 1864. J
General Orders, No. 62 :
The Lieutenant General Commanding takes
pleasure in announcing to the officers and
men of this Corps, the splendid conduct of a
portion of Bates Division—particularly Ty
ler’s Brigade and the Fourth Kentucky Regi
ment—in sustaining and repulsing on yester
dayevening three assaults of the enemy, in
which his loss in killed, wounded and prison
ers, was from 800 to I.QOO men, with two
colors. 300 or 400 small arms, and all of his
trenching tools. Our loss was from 15 to 20
killed end wounded. Soldiers who fight with
the coolness and determination that these men
did will always be victorious over any reason
able number.

The Rebellion Crushed.— The Richmond
Whig says : We like nothing done by halves.
We prefer if a man lies at all that he will lie
like Munchausen—if he hates that it shall be
like a devil—or if he chance to love a friend
that his affection shall rival that of Damon
for Pythias, or David for Jonathan. There
fore, it is that we rather admire the consum
mate and unblushing impudence of Sawny
Bennett, of “his own ' Herald. The fact is,
he can. in theory, crush the rebellion with as
jiufih ease as be can submit to a cowbiding.
For the edification of exempts and non
combatants, and the amusement of the army,
we give a summary of his latest plan for the
accomplishment of this object, as given in an
editorial in his issue of the 30th.
He estimates the Confederate force in the
field as follows: From Virginia to Georgia,
including Lee’s Army (80,000) at one hun
dred and fifty thousand—from Georgia to the
Mississippi, including Hood s Army, (50,000)
at one hundred and twenty thousand, and the
Vrans-Miseissippi force at forty thousand—a
grand tnta! of three hundred and tenth on sac and
mejx as the armed forces of the rebellion now
in the field.
He then bounds to the conclusion, with the
supleness of one of the Ravels, that if Lincoln
will only call McClellan to Washington (an
adroit stab at oar favorite Ulysses,) to take
care of the Capital, and Sherman and Grant
will just follow the Herald's programme, the
rebellion will be crushed in less than no time
, The Destruction of Ctoamber*-
bnrg.
A telegram, dated Harrisburg, 31st ult.,
gives the following highly colored account
of the burning of Chambersburg:
Gen. McClausland was in command af
the rebel troops when they burned Cham
bersburg. He is a desperate and fero
’cious freebooter, ready at any time to vio
late the usages of honorable warfare, in
order to gratify his dark and malignant
passions. After he had taken formal
possession of the town, he made a procla
! mation demanding SIOO,OOO in gold. It
| was, of course impossible to comply with j
| such a demand, no doubt made in confi |
dent expectation of the failure, and as
sure of its affording a pretext to execute j
the premeditated plan for destroying j
Chambersburg.
The valuable portion of the merchant j
dize having been removed, added to the
rage and disappointment of the rebels,
and when thus inspired, the order was
issued to fire the court house, the town
hall and bank building. A strong breeze
prevailing communicated the flames to
the surrounding buildings, and parties of
soldiers having sacked several drug and
chemical stores had manufactured a quan»
tity of turpentine balls, which they igni
ted and threw in all directions, thus crea
ting as many different fires in different
localities, which soon united in one gener
al conflagration!
Speedily the scene became heartrend
ing and most appalling. The cracking
and roaring of the flames as they leaped
from house to house, the shrieks of terris
fled women and panic stricken and suffers
ing children, the pitiful appeals of the
old and helpless, were heard above the
noise of the conflagration, but all to no
avail. The citizens had, without protest"
ing, submitted to the plundering of the
stores, and only appealed to the mercy of
the foe, but nothing could appease the
• butcher and incendiary McClausland.
Two hundred and sixty-five of the
most valuable and prominent public and
private buildings have been destroyed.
They fired the town, as near as can be
now ascertained, at 11 o’clock, A. M , and
remained just long enough t > see the
flames spread and get proper headway,
when the alarm was given that Averill
was approaching the town. Instantly
every free-booter was in his saddle, and
took the road hurriedly to St. Thomas,
with General Averill in pursuit.
Alleged Immense Defalcations
in the Treasury Department
—Astounding Developments.
The arrest of Detective Frederick W.
Boyd for alleged attempts to bribe Detecs
tive 11. B. Craddock in silence in respect
to certain facts in his knowledge concern
ing an high official in the Treasury De
partment, has resulted in bringing to its
development a defalcation in the Treasury
said to be very large in amount
Craddock, the detective among detec
tives, also holds the position of secret agent
of the Treasury for the detection of frauds
and the unearthing of defalcation.
Boyd, who it is alleged was furnished
with money to plaster Craddock’s mouth,
went to him and said: “Don’t you want to
make big money ?” and put three five
hundred dollar bran new Treasury notes
in his hand, just as a slight evidence of a
bargain commenced.
Craddock reported to higher authority,
and was instructed to ask ten thousand
dollars for his silence in regard to the cer
tain high official, and the suppression of
the fact that he had seen him playing the
Government funds away at faro, and the
gamblers “beating” him out of immense
sums. Meanwhile some of the “fancy”
who held large sums of the money began
j to get uneasy in their slippers, and were
preparing to step across the Potomae.
The secret agent of the Government at
the War Department, who does not appear
at the surface in the matter at all, seat an
order to Major Carrington, provost mar
shall, instructing him to refuse passports
to certain parties, naming them. About
this time Boyd was arrested by order of
the Provost Marshal, and sent to Castle
Thunder, while he was making a splendid
“stool pigeon” for the larger game and
the really guilty parties. Os course his
arrest set the whole coterie in a flutter,
and such a getting out of town and to
wards the Potomac as there has been on
the part of certain men, for the past few
days, never was seen before.
Detective Boyd will have an examina**
tion before the Commissioner the present
week, when we suppose, the foregoing
facts will come out under oath and in a
more intelligible shape.— Examiner , l*f.
It is currently reported and believed
that the party alluded to by the Exami-'
ner has made his escape through the
blockade and is now in Nassau. What

Tlie Troubles in In

—A Reported Figlit.
St. Louis, July 23.
The Democrat’s special says Thornton
is now reported to be at Kingston, Cald*
well county, having been joined by ThraiD
kill, his Major, with a considerable force—
their joint strength is said to be fifteen
hundred. Gen. Fisk is pursuing with
militia, and Col. Ford with a portion of
the 2d Colorado is following small bands
who are scouring Platte and Clay Coun
ties ; and between these two forces the
counties meet Rebel punishment.
General Curtis still holds Weston with
a party of 138th Illinois 100 day men,
and a battery under Major Tenneson, from
Southern Kansas. Bushwhacking opera
tions are active in Western Missouri, south
of the river.
General McKeen thinks thev design a
foray into Kansas. At least seven hund
red arms have been turned over to Thorns
ton by disloyal or Paw-paw militia.
There is little doubt that parties of
j Copperheads from lowa and Illinois have
| been passing into North Missouri the last
t three weeks, commanded by Thornton.
| This accords with the statement made by
Thornton at Platte City, that fifteen hund
red Iliicoiana would join his force at the
river. Partro still keeps np north of Wy

Aortfaern Extracts.
WHIN SHALL WE HAVHPIAC*.
When the war is successful on our part, the
Lincoln organs tell us that that is no time to
make peace, because the rebellion will be
speedily subdued if we go on with the car
nage. When the Confederates are successful
the same organs tell us that our national
honor and dignity will not dlow peace. The
question is, when are we to have peace under
these conflicting doctrines?- — Cincinnati En
quirer.
REVBS&E IS SWEET.*
“Seymore.’’ an intelligent correspondent of
the Daily News, is somewhat apologizing be
cause the rebels destroyed bridges anjJ private
property in their march through Maryland.—
We confess we see nothing to apologize for
in tb.l3 act, even though they had razed every
house to the ground, and destroyed every
vestige of prope: ty in their track that they
could not conveniently carry away. “Revenge
is sweet, - ’ according to the old adage, and
consequently, if they had burned and de
stroyed, leaving naught but the blackness of
desolation and ruin wherever the feet of the
invader pressed our soil, it would only be the
mildest retaliation for the unnumbered out
rages and crimes which have been committed
against defenseless, unprotected women and
children in the South by our armies during
the last three years of terror and bloodshed.

LAST MAN AND LAST DOLLAR.
The meaning of the Lincohiites who so
glibly use this pet phrase is, that they will be
the “last man” to go to “the front,” and that
they intend to steal the “last dollar” from the
Government in the “prosecution” of the war

A VOICE FROM THE DEAD.

Only Wanted to Get Home.— lt may not
have occurred to a majority of our readers
that the late self constituted Peace Commis
sioners had something else in view than mere
ly to learn what propositions would be acced
ed to by the Federal Government f-r the ces
sation of hostilities. It is known that Messrs.
Clay, Thompson and Olmstead have been so
journing for some time past in Europe, and
were probably desirous of returning to their
own possessions in the Southern Confederacy.
Under the present condition of naval affairs
along the coast they very properly anticipated
that it would be difficult to accomplish then
object by that route, and their ingenuity was
taxed to discover some other method of in
gress.
It was, we suppose, finally decided to yisit
the Canada shore at Niagara, make a propo
sition to treat for peace, go to Washington,
learn what terms would be acceptable, then
be sent across the lines to Richmond, and
thence—proceed quietly to their respective
residences. The whole thing, however, proved
a failure, and the returning tourists are cer
tainly left in an uncomfortable fix.—Cincin

Tlie Tobacco Ration.
I have observed without surprise the
complaints of the soldiers, and the com
ments of a portion of the press, upon the
quality of some of the tobacco furnished
to the army of Northern Virginia. The
quality of some of the tobacco is no doubt
bad, and an explanation of the fact is due
to the army. The following is offered:
I*. Tobacco is bought by sample. It is
impossible to open every box, and con
formity to sample cannot be enforced when
guaranteed, because each box cannot be
traced up and. identified.
2. Tobacco, even in close boxes, is much
injured by exposure to weather, and in
camp that exposure is unavoidable.—
Sometimes it is compelled to be exposed
for days. From this cause damage must
have resulted, which, yet, could not have
been detected until the distribution of the
article.
3. Before the first purchase was made
the sample was sent to the army, through
a commissary of rank and character, and
the lowest grade sent up was fixed upon
evidence that it would be satisfactory to
the soldiers. That tobacco was sound, and
no lower grade has been bought intention
ally.
4. The grade of the tobacco purchased
for the army cannot be high, though here
tofore it has averaged the quality furnish
ed by suttlers, because to buy the high
grades would be to put up the prices of
all, which the condition of the treasury
forbids, and because that class of tobacco,
being limited in amount, would soon be
exhausted; and it would produce discon
tent to fall back upon inferior grades.
But those accustomed to higher grades
will not be satisfied with what general pol
icy requires to be bought for all.
5. The purchase of tobacco has been
entrusted to an experienced merchant, who
has an expert to assist him. They were
believed to be competent, and are known
to be honest. They were very particular
in the beginning. The complaints made
by the soldiers have rendered them more
so.
fi. The law giving tobacco rations to
soldiers is an injudicious one ; and it is
hoped that the next Congress will repeal
it, and commute the ration at its money
value. Then each man may suit himself,
and the sutler can and will take better
care of the tobacco than it is possible for
commissaries to do.
The above brief statement of the facts
of the case is respectfully submitted to the
army, which is brave and magnanimous—
tco honest to suspect a fraud in every
failure to meet their expectations, and too
just to impute it without proof.

Negroes for Teamsters. —The Gov
ernment is taking a step which should
have been adopted long ago—to-wit: the
substitution of negroes for whites as army
teamsters. The officers are now visiting
various parts ol this State to hire negroes
for this purpose. Twenty»five dollars a
month, and indemnity in the lull value of
the negro in case of loss in the service are
offered, and an earnest appeal is addressed
tosd&y to slave owners to do away with the
necessity of impressment by offering their
servants for hire. The number required,
though considerable in the aggregate, will
be so proportioned among the various
counties that none will suffer by the sub-*
straction of labor. We invite attention of
our readers, one and all, to the appeal of
Col. Cole and the appended advertisement.
Georgians, take a wise, liberal and patri
otic course in this matter. The time has

have left. Let the enemy overrun your

Act then promptly and liberally. Bring
each of you some of your able negroes
and tender them at once to the agent aps

TO THE HARRIS &

Columbus, Georgia, Aug. 6, ’64.
I am authorized by the General Commanding the
Army of Tennessee, to impress
One Thousand Slaves for Teamsters,
for the services of which slaves $25 per month shall
be paid, with clothing, rations and medical attend
ance. You are respectfully requested to deliver to
me, One op Every Five Able-Bodied Male
Slaves, between the ages of 18 and 45. Those of
“Muscogee” county will be received in Columbus,
on the 13th inst; those of “Harris” county, in the
town of Hamilton, on the 16th inst. They should
have one blanket and three days’ rations. In view
of the fact that these slaves are to take the places of
one thousand soldiers now out es the ranks as team
sters, and of the importance of strengthening the
