Ik Wmts. 3. W. WABBEIV. --- Editor. Friday Morning. Angnit 11, 1864. [Correspondence of the Times.} 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. ♦ By command of Lt. Gen. LEE, [Signed] J. W. Ratchford, A. A. G, 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.

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. \Bergen (A r .

Os the number drawn in the twenty-second district of Pennsylvania 312 have thus far paid commutation, 16 have furnished substi tutes, 13 have obtained exemptions as aliens, 2 for being under age, 62 for being over 45, 15 for non-residence, and 1 have served two years.” Out of 541 notone enters the service, and but 16 men are secured for the service. Pretty well that for a loyal town like the “Smoky City.” After a war of sixty-four 'years’ duiation, Russia, with a population of 75,000,000 has at last subjugated Circassia, with a popula tion of 400,000. If it takes 75,000,000 Rus sians sixty-four years to subjugate 400,000 Circassians, how long will it take 20,000,000 Americans to subjugate 8,000,000, Ameri cans.

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 —on the treasury.— Cincinnati Enquirer. A VOICE FROM THE DEAD. Ex-President Buchanan is writing letters urging the nomination of Judge Samuel Nel son for President, and Mr. Voorhees, of In diana, for Vice President at the Chicago Con vention.—.V iv York Herald. 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 nati Times, ‘loth. [From the Richmond Enquirer.] 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. Two brothers in New Jersey, have been fined SSOO for obstructing and resisting an officer engaged in collecting the United States In ternal Revenue. TELEGRAPHIC.

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 come when every sinew must be strained to its highest tension to save anything you have left. Let the enemy overrun your State and nothing is left worth having. Act then promptly and liberally. Bring each of you some of your able negroes and tender them at once to the agent aps pointed to hire them. If action be prompt, Gen. Hood’s army will be largely forced at a moment decisive of the fate of Georgia. —Macon Telegraph. .Guerilla Movements In Ken tucky. RUMORS OF A PROJECTED DASH ON VEVAY, IND.
