11. In compliance with the foregoing order, all
detailed men will immediately organize in their re

muster rolls .to these Headquarters, together with
a certificate of the election of Company Officers,
which election must be held by either two commis

unite in these county organizations.
111. The detailed men in government employ,
will be organized into companies composed as far
as practicable of the men engaged in the same

such organizations. It is not intended that the com

employ should be put into Baiuiions or Regiments

Enrolling Officers, to report to these Headquarters,
all detailed men and exempts, who fail or refuse to

The object of the organization being to perfect a

names of all refusing to join should be known that
their details may be revoked and they ordered to
more active duty in the field.
V. This order is not intended to interfere with

Thursday Evening.
From Apalachicola. —Some few weeks since
the Yankees came up to Apalachicola from the
Mociiuing fleet and burned the jail and the out
buildings belonging to the same. They then set
fire to a wooden warehouse on Water street be
longing to Mr. Thomas Orman, which communi
cated with the brick stores of Atkins & Dunham,
John Humphries & C. G. Holmes, all of which
were consumed with, their contents, consisting
mostly of office furniture, cotton tables and safes—
being left there on the evacuation of the place
in 1862.
The Richmond Whig reports a sale—first of
this season—o f Confederate bonds, eight per
cent., of all the issues in market, at prices
ranging very ii regularly from 914 to 129.
The Post Office c-f the Army of Tennessee was
destroyed, with its contents, in thelabandonmentof
Atlanta. Mr. Mills, the special agent of the Post
Office Department, is now in Griffin : making ar
rangements for its re-organization, which he
to effect at an early day. /
[From the Atlanta Intelligencer, Btu.]
Tlie Position in Georgia.
On Tuesday morning the Yankee army ex
hibited evidence of retirement. Our people,
with their usual hopefulness, soon reported
the movement to be a retreat, and many sur
mises and speculations concerning the cause
were rife among the street critics. The great
er number have concluded that our cavalry
movements in the rear have produced the
unusual manoeuvre. But if such a movement
is in progress at all, it is so Obscure and will
be made so carefully and with such masterly
skill that we will not discover it until every
avenue of safety is secured and all danger
avoided by the wily Sherman.
To us, the movement seems a reiteration of
Sherman’s operations hitherto. His marches
in force on our right, simply obliges a cor
responding movement on our part, and the
objective point, the Yankee General seeks',
being thus weakened, is made an early prize
to his strategy.
Again, he masses his force and moves on
our left, and by the quiet and merely threat
ening operation of weight, outbalances us
and forces us to another position. Thus by a
systematic series of zigzag, reverse move
ments, he displaces our army from every posi
tion it assumes.
Sherman prosecutes war deliberately, like
a business or laboring man works. He marches
his men into position all the daylong, usually
by long stages, and in the evening for an hour
or two. delivers battle, or at least invites it.
Thus it occurs that if our troops gain any ad
vantages, nightfall prevents any advance or
continuation of it, but if the Yankees gain the
advantage or advance, they render their posi
tion very strong during the night, and it is
thus that Sherman has forwarded his army by
impregnable and perfect parallels, over almost
every mile of ground that he has traveled
from the Tennessee river to Lovejoy’s in Geor
gia, Such a network of fortifications has never
been seen or made on earth, before the pres
ent campaign. The most extraordinary invent
ive genius and the most superhuman labor of
man, have been applied to the machinery of
his advance and with what success the pres-,
ent position of the two armies disclose.
It may be and it is very probable that Sher
man may abandon the line . df pursuit along
the RI. &. W. R. R. This movement on our
right may be to more effectually secure the
route toward Augusta, the railroad to which,
he is rapidly repairing at present. Enpassant,
we may state that he is running his trains
unimpeded and with the utmost safety, daily
to Newnan on the West Point railroad.
Some conjectures are made that a grand
movement will be made on Milledgeville, and
much plausibility is given to the view by the
assertion that the Yankee army will then be
supplied from both roads and have the power
to strike either at Macon or Augusta and take
in the Capitol on the route.
This is a huge plan, but if Sherman prom
ises to consummate it we presume ho will do
it, and we perhaps can only sit afid wring our
hands in agony of suspense and anticipation
whilst he advances and thank Heaven when
he has passed.
Our advance was at Lovejoy’s Station on
Wednesday morning and no movements of any
consequence threatening or apparently in op
eration.
It is whispered, only rumored, that General
“Reliable" Hardee has been ordered to the
command of the array. We doubt it, and
doubt very much whether he should accept it
note, because it is nought but injustice to him
that the Army of Tennessee, in its present
condition, should be carried, with all its.fear
ful responsibilities, by so gallant and earnest
a soldier, and that results that cannot be se
cured or attained by any man, should be de
manded of him. We hope that Gen. Hardee
may not become another victim and sacrifice
to the whims of Mr. Davis.
Tlie Front.
The Griffin Rebel of the 7th says:
There has bden no change in the condition of
affairs in our front. The report mentioned in our
last, that the enemy had disappeared is confirmed.
They seem to have moved off with much precipita
tion, leaving all their entrenching tools and much
other debris on the ground. Whether they have
fallen back to Atlanta or are making another
movement on our flank has not been developed.—
It is understood that we now occupy Jonesboro.
Fiie Yankees in Atlanta.
From a gentleman who left Atlanta several days
after the city fell, we learn some interesting parti
culars of the doings of the Yankees and the con
duct of the people of the city. Two or three days
after the enemy entered, the officers gave a grand
ball at the Trout House, and invited many of the
citizens to attend. To their shame be it said, the
invitation was accepted in many instances, and
women, we cannot call them ladies, who were loud
est in their protestations of loyalty to the South,
were “hand in glove’’ with the Yankees on the
night of the ball. It is represented to have been
quite a brilliant affair: plenty of champaign was
drank in honor of the success achieved by the
Federal arms, and the party ended at a late hoar
in the morning, after great glorification.
One of the first orders issued by the Ykmkees in - •
formed the negroes that they were no longer
slaves, but “free American citizens of African
descent." There were many negroes in the city,
and we should n7tt be surprised if some of the
“colored ladies ’ attended the Yankee celebration
ball.
We regret to learn that among the first citizens
who took the oath of allegiance to the Federals
was Mr. J. E. Buchanan, formerly “Ijasiness man
ager" of the Intelligencer This gentleman re
mained in Atlanta with the Fire Battalion, daring
the investment of that city. We trust the state
ment is incorrect, as a personal acquaintance with
Mr. Buchanan, made us expect better things of
him.
There is but little or no business carried on in
the city, except by a few traitors who concealed
tobacco for the express purpose of selling it to the
enemy -shouid*Ui*y enter the town. These crea
tures. we learn, are doing a brisk business with the
Yankee suttlers.
There is a Provost Marshal ani a guard of one
Brigade on duty in the city: ail the other troops®
a re encamped outside of the city. —Macon Tele

Tlie {Lincoln Policy in Ken
tucky.
The design? of the Administration in its recent
despotic course in Kentucky can no longer be con
cealed ; it is the complete overthrow of a free bal
lot so as to secure that State for the Prestdential
joker. "Only this and nothing more.-” Disaffected
voters of course will not be allowed to approach
the polls. Such a thing could not be tolerated.
This would be to give treason the upper hand,
which is simply preposterous. If tho freemen of
the Dark and Bloody Ground desire to rote, there
is only one man they can vote for, and that is
Honest Old Abe. What more do they want ?
Won't the negroes who are in the army vote for
him ? and if he is a good enough candidate for the
negroes, he ought to be for the whites.
There are some, it is true, who go so far as to
find fault with all this; but they are sadly behind
the times. Don’t they know that certain modern
improvements, recommended by the Beast Buiter,
have been made in the Constitution and that wo are
now enjoying all tha benefits which those improve
ments are supposed to confer! For our own part,
we are inclined to be very ungrateful, very contu
macious, and we almost venture to express the
hepe that tho free white men of Kentucky will be
equally so. We go farther—we trust that they
will insist on their right to vote and fight for it
if there is no other reset left.
This man Lincoln mustlearn that he is not mas
ter of a free people : that, however, he may mould
negroes to his will, white men are not made of the
same plastic stuff. ,
The remonstrance which we published in last
week's Reeord and Vindicator expose a settled
purpose on the part of the Administration to pre
vent such a- thing as a fair and unrestricted vote ;
but we think there ' is a still more forcible way of
bringing the infamous machinations and scheme of
the Washington Cabal to light. Let all who were
prevented at the last election in Kentucky from vo
ting, by military interference, be counted, and the
figures given to the country, so that the fraud
may be made known. Let the matter then be
made the‘subject of special and scathing denunci
ation of every Democratic meeting that is held
throughout the country, previous to the next elec
tion, and let the Democracy of every Northern
State pledge themselves to stand by the freedom
of the ballot in Kentucky oven with arms in their
hands if neeessary. It will come to this in the
end, and it 53 as well to look the matter fairly and
squarely in the faae. —Metropolitan Record.
Scouts from the rear of Sherman, report

The scandal-monger? of Paris, are busily
employed in the dissection of that exceedingly
fast woman “Cora," whom the London Times
immortalized some three years since a? the
“Pretty Horsebreaker.” She lives at Pari? at
an enormous expenditure—drives the best
horses, has the most elegant eqnippages. aud
completely eclipses the creme de la creme of
Parisian society. She numbers in her train
all the leading spirits of Paris, whether of
wealth, fashion, of snobocracy. She is neith
er young nor remarkably handsome ; but there
is, or appear? to be, a fascination about her
which is perfectly irresistible. It was only
the other day that young Murat was sent as &
sous-lieutenant for patronizing “Cora" too
frequently in public. The Emperor is partic-v
ui&r on these points—the true fact being that
“Cora” will not patronize him.

Os storming the airy fortress,
Os bidding the giant ycild—
Your future has deeds of glory,
Os honor, (God grant it may !)
But your arms will never bo stronger,
Or needed as now—to-day. ‘
Arise ! if the past detain you,
Her sunshine and storms forget,
No chains so unworthy to hold you
As those of a vain regret,
Sad or bright, she is lifeless ever,
Cast her phantom arms away,
For look back save to learn the lesson,
Os a nobler strife to-day.
Arise ! for the hour is passing,
The sound that you dimly hear,
Is your enemy marching to battle;
Rise! rise! for the foe is here—
Stay not to lighten your weapons,
Or tho hour will strike at last,
And from dreams of a coming battle,
You will waken to find it past.
A Very Foolish Lie. —We see a statement
in some of the Georgia papers, said to be tak
ken from a Yankee paper, that a Commis
sioner had reached Washington City from
Georgia, asking on what terms Georgia can
return to the Union. The whole Btory is a lie
from beginning to end.
We are authorized by Gov. Brown to say
that no Commissioner lias been sent from

Blucber and His Pipe Bearer
at the Battle of Waterloo.
Old Field Marshal Blucber was particularly
fond of three things—a glass of wine, a game'
of cards, and a. pipe of tobacco. With the
two former he was frequently obliged to dis
pense, but he could not and would not do
without the latter, nor could he help indulging
in smoking, if it were ever so little, before he
undertook anything serious. A few puffs at
the spur of the moment would satisfy him, but
to be without them at all, was a matter of
impossibility. For this purpose, he had ap
pointed as his pipe-bearer one of his “boys,’’
(as ha used to call his hussars,) a fellow
countryman from Bostock—Christian Henne
man—who had charge ot a large box of Dutch
clay pipes, all filled with tobacco, and ready
for use at a moment’s notice. This box con
stituted the principal item of tfie MarshaFa
field equippage. Henneman was so devoted to
his master and his charge, that he would
have killed on the spot any one who attempted
to purloin a pipe from the box, or bring the
latter iu danger of breaking some of the pre
cious (to him sacred) contents. On the
morning of the memorable battle of Water
loo, Henneman had just handed his master a
lighted pipe, when a cannon ball struck the
ground close by, scattering earth and gravel
in all directions, and causing the white
charger on which he wa3 mounted, to spring
aside—a manoeuvre that broke the pipe into
a thousand pieces before the owner had time
even to lift it to his lips. “Just keep a light
ed pipe ready for me; I shall be back in a
few moments, after I have driven away the
rascally French churls.” With these words
Blucber gave the command, “Forward, boys !”
and off he galloped with his cavalry. Instead,
however, of a chase of a few minutes, it was
a rapid march of nearly a whole hot summer
day, as we all know from history-.
After the battle was over, Biucher rode
back with Wellington to the place where he
first got a glimpse of the combatting armies,
and nearing the spot where Biucher had hal
ted in the morning, they saw to their sur
prise, a solitary man, his heaiq/dad with a
handkerchief, one arm in a slin*, and calmly
smoking a pipe. “Donner and Blitz,” cried
Biucher, “why that is my Henneman. How
you look boy ; what are you doing here
alone?” “Waiting for your speedy return,”
was the grumbling answer. “You have come
at last. I have waited for you here, pipe in
mouth, for the whole long day. This is the
last pipe in the box. The cursed French have
shot away every pipe from my mouth, have
ripped the flesh from my head, and shattered
my arm with their dueced bullets. It is well
there is an end to the battle, or you would 1
have been too late even for the last pipe.”—
Saying which he handed to Biucher the pipe
to enjoy the remaining fumes of the weed.—
Wellington, who had listened attentively to
the conversation, here remarked to Biucher,
“You have just admired the unflinching loy
alty and bravery of my Highlanders, what j
shall I say to this true and devoted soul?”
“But your highlanders had no pipes to re> i
gale themselves with.— Bentley's Miscellany.
Daniel Webster as a Schoolboy.
—lt is narrated of him that when he first
appeared at the academy of Mr. Abbott,
his personal appearance in his ill-fitting,
home-made, homespun garments, together
with his shy, awkward manneTs, created
much merriment among the boys, and
many jokes were cracked at his expense.
Young Daniel’s sensitive nature could ill
brook this; and, after suffering from it
for two or three days, he went to the
teacher and told him he mu3t go home.
The teacher inquired the cause, and Dan
iel made a clean breast of it. The former
bade him not mind it, but keep quietly at
his studies, and his turn would come by
and by. He obeyed; and at the end of
the week he was placed at the head of the
class that had ridiculed him. After two
months had passed in hard study, the
teacher, at the close of the school one day,
called him up, in presence of all the scho
lars, and told him he could not stay there
any longer; to go and get his books and
hat and leave. Poor Daniel’s heart sunk
down to his shoes. He had studied hard,
bearing patiently the ridicule of his mates,
and now to be turned off in disgrace, was
more than he could stagger under. The
teacher waited a moment to watch the as
tonishment of the school, and then added.
‘‘This is no place for you; go to the higher
department!” That was probably the
proudest moment in Mr. Webster’s life.
He had triumphed over his companions,
and that by outstripping them in their
studies.

Dental Attention for the Soldiers.
Within the past two months an arrangement
has been made by the Surgeon Generaf of the
Confederate States and the Medical Director
ot the State ot I irginia, which must eouduce
to the health and comfort of our soldiers.
Two skillful dentists, men of ability in their
profession and of the highest inteyritv of
character, have been detailed from the irmy
to attend gratuitously in the line of their pro»
session certain ol the most extensive hospitals
in this city and its vicinity. One of these
g'entlemen attends Chimborazo, Seabrooks’,
Howards, Grove, and the General ialms
house) Hospitals; the other the Jackson and
the-Winder Hospitals. The amount of work
done by them in each of these institutions
every week is immense, comprehending, as
it does, every branch of the profession except
the manufacture of artificial teeth. Besides
extracting and filling teeth, operat’ons of ihe
first consequence to the patient, in many cases
they are called upon to construct plates and
appliances for the setting ot fractured- jaw
bones. We leitrn that the soldiers are ex
tremely gratetui to the government for bestow
ing upon them this species of attention. Many
of them have had their teeth filled and their
mouths otherwise put iu complete order, who,
for months and years past have been kept
away from the dentist solely by reason of the
expense, which they were unable to meet.
We hope that the wisdom and humanity of
this arrangement will so commend it to the
authorities, that steps will be taken to put
the services ot a skillful dentist within the
reach of every soldier in our armies.

The Albany [New York] Statesman, a Republi
can ora an, says:
There is only one way to prevent the democrats
trom electing the next President, and that is to
nave x resident Lincoln decline the nomination, his
successor to be either Gen. Grant, Saermau, Butler
or Hancock. Such a nomination would unite the
party. Nothing else over will. Divided as the par
ty now is between the friends of Lincoln, Fre
mont, Chase, Seward and Weed, the party cannot
avoid a most humiliating defeat in November.—
The catastrophe can yet be averted, but only by
the declension of Mr. Lincoln.
The Exchange of*Prisoners.— The Washington
correspondent of the American says, upon this sub
ject :
No arrangement for a renewal of the exchange of
prisoners has yet been made. The rebel authori
ties are very eager to renew the exchange of prison
by which they would secure a reinforcement
to their depleted armies of sixty to seventy thou
sind robust, weii fed and valuable men, in rerurn
for those whom their barbarity and inhumanity
have reduced to acoudithm from which months of
careful nursing and rest will be required to restore
to a condition of usefulness. They do not, how
ever, manifest a disposition to do so upon fair and
equitable terms.
The news of the blowing up of Grant’s mine has
reached Europe, and elicited a just indignation.—
The London correspondent of thaPhiladelphia In
quirer writes:
As might have been expected also, the news which
has just reached here of the destruction of one of
the Confederate fort3 at Petersburg, with a regi
ment ot soldiers, by Gr.mt, has been received with
a universal howl of virtuous indignation. Tho act
is stigmatized as one of tho most barbarous on re
cord; wo are called a nation of savages, and Lord
Shaftesbury and his clique invoke the judgment of
Heaven upon the leaders of an army that can resort
to what is called “wholesale butchery in cold
blood.” There is little use in urging here that En
glish Generate have been guilty of still greater atro
cities.
Many people are relying on the democratic party
to do what, it seems to us, we have to do. That is,
conquer a peace. Not one man in a hundred in
that section is ready to make a, peace, unless on the
condition that the South shall be made a desert,
and the enemy shall call that peace. W» had bet
terabandon any notion of peace, except that forced
from the enemy.. There will be no other. And ono
can find comfort in tho Chicago convention and tho
Yankee papers in that they indicate that they be
lieve there is no probability of making a desert of
this country and calling it peace.— Mobile Tribune.
It has been ascertained that the late
