Exchange of Officers.— The Petersburg Ex priss says; Wh cordially unite with our contempo raries who'have takes this position, in remonstra ; ting against the policy of exchanging officers with : the Yankees. Under the circumstances, it is one : of the most uuwise, as well as unjust measures that ' out Government could sanction, and we are as tonished .hat it .-uould become a party to any ex tent to such a transaction. It is perfectly notori ous that Lincoln is anxious to get back all his offi ; cers, who are our prisoners, and would very readi ‘ ly consent to an exchange quod hoc, for the double , reason that he sWods iu need of their services, and j that they fovu a respectable andicfluential partof his people, and most of them belong to the better class of Northern’society. About the rank and file he cases not a button. The Examiner fcaa confirmation of the re port that Mosby hung thirty Yankees whom he caught burning residences in Ciark county. Expelled dy Sherman.— The Macon Tele graph leart3 that prior to the evacuation of Atlan ta, Sherman sent a flag of truee to General Hood with five officers—a colonel, lieutenant colonel, major and two captains—and a communication which stated that the officers having been heard to utter political opinions inimical to Lincoln and his ; Party and which were deemed treasonable, they bad been expelled from the Federal lines by his order and sent over to General Hood, for such dis position as,he thought fit. Our informant states that the five “Copper-head” officers have been sent j to Richmond. —— } The London Times taunts France with having ! deserted Poland after encouraging her to rev9lt, and seeks to shelter England for her conduct to wards Denmark behind the example ofNapoleon’s conduct towards the Poles. New York papers state that the new privateer ; Electric Spark was off Nassau on the 2d inst., and was cruising among the islands. Some malignant slanderer says : “Woman needs no eulogist—for she speaks for herself." Gold fell in New York, on the 29th, ten per ■ cent;, and was quoted at 231. The New "York i Times says that the prospect of McClellan’s nomi nation did this- Barnum’s fat woman, Mrs. Jane Fisher, exhibi ted at his museum, died at her home in Connecti cut the other day. Her exhibition weight was 680 pounds. Ten men were employed to get her into her coffin, which was so wide that the door had to j be enlarged to enable its removal. Humor never deserts some men, and it is most common among the privates. After our last trying ordeal of crcssing the Potomac, wading it at night breast deep to a tall man, a wet, tattered, bare footed Georgian, just out of the river, vented his surplus spirit in exclaiming, as he glanced at his dripping clothing, "Here’syour in-wader!" Major pronounced it the best puu of the campaign. A Double Quotation. —“It is well," says, the Boston Courier, “to bring forward the similar sen -1 timeuts of men holding influential positions, cx- I pressed under other circumstances. Mr, Davis was certainly prophetic. Mr. Lincoln reminds us j of Hazaei the Syrion, asking, “Is thy Servant a | dog,that he*ihould do thi3 great thing?" and went home and murdered his . master. The fol lowing is an extract from the Inaugural Address of Abraham Lincoln, March 4, 1S61: I “Suppose you go to war, you cannot fight al ways ; and when, after much loss on both sides,and j no gain on either, you cease fighting, the identi cal questions, as to terms of intercourse, are again : upon you. This country, with its institutions, be l longs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever j they shall grow weary of the existing gavernment, j they can exercise their constitutional right of j amending, or-their revolutionary right to disment ! her or overthrow it." The following is an extractfrom aspeeeh of Jef ferson Davis in the United States Senate, Janu | ary 10, 1861 ; “If you will not have it thu3 ; if in the pride of power, if in contempt of reason and reliance upon force, you say we shall not go, but sajill remain as j subjects to you, then, gentlemen ofYhe North, a war is to be inaugurated, the like of which men huva cot teen. Sufficiently numerous on both sides, j in close contact with only imaginary lines of divi sion, and with many means of approach, each sus tained by productive sections, the people of whieh ‘•will give freely both of money and of store, the conflicts must be multiplied indefinitely; and masses of men’ sacrificed to the demon of civil war, will furnish hecatombs such as the recent war in Italy did not offer. At the end of all this, what will you have effected? Destruction upon both sides; subjugation upon neither; a treaty of i peace, leaving both torn and bleeding; the wail of j the widow and the cry of the orphan substituted for those peaceful notes of domestic happiness that \ : now prevail throughout the land; and then you | will agree that each is to pursue his seperate course as best he may. This is to be the end of the war. Through a long series of years you may j waste your strength, distress your people, and get i at last to the position whieh you might have had ; at first, had justice and reason, instead of selfish- I I ness and passion, felly and crime, dictated your j course.” I The French is Mexico.—By the latest arri vals we are in receipt of important news from Mexico. The French are gradually, it is assert ed, gaining ground. They have taken possession of Saltillo, and were, at last accounts, advancing with a large force upon Monterey, the provisional sear of government of President Juarez. The p 'icy ot the latter seems to be to avoid any gen eral engagement with the invaders at present, and to attack their extended lines at their weakest points. The ’■ unity of Paesidest Juarez has left Mexico and arrived in New Orleans, a fact which the agents of .he new Mexican empire will sot fail to impute to a fear of defeat on the part of the republicans. We await with interest addi tional details from Mexico. [xVcia York Herald 2d, Hsad'qbs, Ist Dtv. Ga. Militia, J Is Camp mkam Griffin, Sept. 5, 1854. j Governor: — l have the honor to inform you that we arrived at this point last night.— Un the first of September, I was informed by Gen. Hood, that the failure of the two corps sent to Jonesboro for the purpose of driving the enemy from the line of the railroad, would compel him to abandon Atlanta. I was order ed to withdraw the militia from the trenches around the city after dark that evening, and march by Decatur and McDonough, guarding the reserve artillery of the army which moved by the same road, under our protection. The line cf skirmishers was withdraw from the It out at 11 p. m., moved through the city, and passed out by the Decatur road at 1 o’clock, a. m., on the '2<f, forming the rear guard. Ua the 4tb, we reached Griffin with all the artil lery. More than four filths of the men of inv command who left the fortifications of Atiati'- tii marched iftto camp with their muskets. The ethers were ciihAr tired oi strag glers. Some few bad been permitted to visit their homes as we passed ner.” them, and some perhaps had gone home without permission. The withdrawal of the army virtually ended the campaign against Atlanta, and in oue sense may be considered a limit to the call under which the men of this command are now serving. Before concluding this letter, I will avail myself of the opportunity to say a few words in regard to the services and conduct of the Militia of Georgia engaged in the Confederate States Army during the time I have had the honor to command them. Without time for drill and instruction—with very incomplete and imperfect organization—inadequately supplied with transportation, equipments and all that pertains to the •'Material” of an army, these men were first distributed upon the Chattahoochee to guard the passages of the river lrorn above Roswell to West Point. When Gea. Johnston held Kenesaw Mountain with the right of his army we, by Tiis order, concentrated and crossed the river, taking position on his left, supporting the cavalry upon that wing in the vicinity of Marietta. We fell back with the army to the Chatta hoochee and then across that river, from which time until now we have formed a com ponent part of the army, and have borne our full proportionate share of ail it3 dangers, hardships and labors; and I have every reas on to believe that, upon the battle-field, ou the line of march, in laboring upon fortffica tions and defence of intrenchments, the militia of Georgia, in the past hundred days of active service, (most of the time in the immediate presence of the enemy and under fire.) have won the respect and esteem of the gallaut offi cers and men composing the regular army under Gen. Hood. You are well aware of the embarrassments arising from conffiet in legis lation upon the part of Congress and the (y.eorgia Legislature, and can appreciate the spirit of concession and forgetfuiness of seif, by which all seem to have been actuated, and which have resulted in procuring harmony and concert of action when there was such opportunity and cause for well founded com plaint and real difficulty. The recent march was severe upon men who h;\d no experience in drill, and were not inured to fatigue. This was particularly the case with the old men. The command, however, came into camp iu good condition. Some were weary and foot* sore, but all in fine spirits. The number of effective men, with muskets, present for duty, is much greater than I had expected. The militia in this army have done good service, and are entitled to the thanks of the State of Georgia and of the Confederate States. In closing I beg to suggest that the old men from fifty to fifty-five, who are physically un fitted for an active campaign of long marches and rapid movements, be relieved from furth er service with the army at present, and be placed upon home duty in their respective districts under your own orders. I wiil take another occasion to report to you more in de tail the full operations and services of this command. I remain, very respectfully, your obedient servant, G. W. SMITH, Major General. To His Excellency, Jos. E. Brown, Governor of the State of Georgia. < ° Executive Department, \ Miilodgeville, Sept. 10,1864. j General J. B. Hood. Commanding Army of Tennessee. . General :As the militia of the State were called out for the defence of Atlanta during the campaign against it which has terminated by the fall of the city into the hands of the enemy, and as many of them left their homes without preparation, expecting to be gone but a few weeks, who have remained in service over three months (most of the time in the trenches) justice requires that they be permitted, while the enemy are .preparing for the winter cam paign, to return to their homes and look, for a time, after important interests and prepare ; themselves for such servicea3 may be required when another campaign commences against other important points in the State. I there ! fore hereby withdraw said organization from your command, in the hope that I shall be able to return it with greater numbers and equal efficiency, when the interest of the public ser vice requires it. In this connection I beg leave to tender to you, General,, my sincere thanks for your impartiality and justice to the State Troops and for your uniform cour tesy and kindness to me individually. With, assurances of my high consideration and es teem, I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant. Joseph E. Brown Executive Department, I , Miliedgeville, Sept. 10. 1864. / To the Militia composing the First Division : I have this day withdrawn you from the command of Gen. J. B. Hood. You entered the service for the defense of Atlanta. That city has for the time fallen into the hands of \ the enemy. The campaign against it is now at an end, Mo3t of you entered the service with but little preparation, leaving important J interests to suffer, expecting to return home in a few weeks. Yon have borne thefatigaes and dangers of the campaign with manly firmness and heroic valor, and have won for the “Georgia Militia” a proud name in histo ry. The fall of Atlanta leaves the Stats ex posed to further invation. The enemy will , fortify that place—accumulate aupplies, and i prepare for a winter campaign against Macon and other interior points, which, if taken, will leave many of your homes and loved ones within his lines, and expose the homes of oth ers to the ravage of his raids. To prevent this, it may soon again be nec essary far you to lift your strong arms to re pel his advance. In the meantime, it is dae to yon that an opportunity be given you to pat your houses in order and provide as best you can for the future wants of those depen oentupooyou. One of the important crops of the State now needs attention, or a large quantity of syrup will be lost which is of great value. It is also due you that you have an opportunity to return home and bring to the front with you. any and ail subject and have avoided or refused to take tbeir just part in * the dangers and hardship* whieh you have j endured. I therefore hereby order and direct that I each tu.d every officer and soldier in the di j vision have * furlough oi thirty days, I forth- ! $5.00 Per Month er order that all persons o*er the age of fifty years be detailed until further orders, to per form necessary patrol duty at home, and to arrest and senu forward, when the division returns to me field. a!i who are subject who do not report. All details of persons under h*ty years of nge, f or patrol service at home. a * c hereby revoked. anc the men over fifty y.:.>rs of age are directed to take their places, and wi.t remain atToiir.e ns long as they failu fnliv discharge tiie duties above mentioned. If they neglect them they wdi he ordeiei back, to the field. Alt details' or furloughs to r.- main at home granted by anv Aid-de Canr> or officers exc *pt un fa ertby declared void—arufi those who Su>id theta are hereby required rifir t with the Division at the end o« thirty day*. All fur loughs grunted at diese Headquarters to per- in L i i.o employ meat unaii the certificate ot tire head of any one of the Con federate Departments in Georgia, are to re all details of physicians and mtilers heretofore made upon ihe application of the Justices of the Inferior Courts of their respective coun ties. As furloughs could always be obtained with much less and tSculty if v ry man wo.dd v - tui n at Ino tone desigtv&tvu, ami as it is verv important that the Division re assemble in its full strength at .the time a: : nt i it is rat expected that any will be abscent at roll cali. All who are thus absent will be considered deserters. Each company is expected to as semble at the Court House, or some other place agreed upon in the County of its location, on the day before it is necessary to start to the front at the end of the furlough, and the captain will detail mea to go after and bring up to die front, all who do not report. Ihe company is expected to see to it, that every Qian subject accompanies them back or is brought up immediately under guard. It is reported that many persons in the cities of the Suite have avoid ed service by uniting with what are usually call ed local companies since the date of my procla- the 9th July last, ordering all the militia of the State under fifty-five years ot age into ac tive service. As it is unjust to those who haVe undergone the bazzards and fatigues of the late campaign that these men should in this wav avoid service at the point of danger, aud as a distinguish - ed Judge is reported to have decided that the members of these local companies where not upon active duty and not snbject to military law as Confederate s/fdiers in service, which decision seems tobefounded?n lawand common sense. I fur ther order, that the militia who are now at the front from these counties on their return, at the expiration of their furlough, bring with them un der arrest, it necessary, all persons subject who were not members of said companies on the '):.h of July, together with all persons who remain at home attending to thefr o. liriary business under Confederate exemptions or desails who have not exemptions granted as above mentioned. These orders so far as they relate to the militia now in service, will be executed by Maj. Gen’l <j. W. Smith, who will give all orders necessary to car ry them into practical effect.

A gallant officer of Morgan’s command sends j the Richmond Enquirer the following brief review ot the deeds of the lamented chief: The death of General John H. Morgan—the gallant hero whose name and fame ia too en j larged to be confined to one continent—will cast a pall over the-entire Confederate artnv. ! As an humble follower ot the “Great Chief ’ who was relieved from command of his gal lant division only to be placed on duty “in the inner courts of the sanctuary,’’ where Johnston and Jackson, Bee and Bartow, and a host of other gallant generals and Chris tian warriors are now serving, I feel called upon to mention a few ot the principal feats of my daring leader and the characteristics of the :nan, leaving to the pen of the historian the duty of fully recording his deeds. Brig , adier Gene’al John H. Morgan, in September, | ’6l, as captain of a company of partizan r*n | gers, invented and brought into requisition & j system of cavalry fighting that has been since | successfully adopted by a.I cavalry leaders in i the Confederate States army. I refer to his system of using the horse only to transport \ his men, and then dismounting to tight. In the Spring of 1862, he had raised, equip j ped, armed and mounted a brigade of cavalry, all at no expense-to his country, and far in the rear of the enemy ’s armies. As Colonel ! commanding that brigade, he made, during \ the month of July, 1862, a reconnoisance into j I Central Kentucky, • starting from Knoxville, Tennessee, July 4th, and reaching Sparta Jj |ly 29th. In twenty-five days passing through | Centrai Kentucky, killing wounding and cap j turing scores of the enemy, and returning to | our lines with his losses but slight, and briDg | ing out many recruits. To follow up the work of his‘cotnmacd, while under iLeleader- ‘ ship of General Morgan, would require too much space in your paper ; but in brief I can stite. without fear of contradiction, and; in justification to the memory of this great and good man, that he recruited more troops than any V >jor General in the Confederate States array—that he captured and paroled more Federals than any Lieutenant General —killed more Federais, captured more sup plies, and suffereu less in the loss of mea than any cavalry brigade or division commander in thSarmy. As an officer he was great in stmt- ! egy, bold in execution, when the itjierest of his country or command called for it. Asa friend, true and firm, kind and con ciliatory. No subordinate ever approached his presence but he was met and welcomed in a genial manner. Morgan’s for the cause frequently caused him to venture beyond the literal construction of h*s orders. But the* Confederacy has had no truer beait or braver sword battling in her defence, and Kentucky may be proud to feel, although ma ny of her sons have basely submitted to the Ayuant's yoke, that John H. Morgan, her gal lant son, poured out his life-blood in defence of Constitutional liberty. Comrades and fol lowers of the brave lamented dead, his death calls for vengeance Let us each and every one strive with renewed zeal and determination to keep up the great fear that our hated foe i evinced towards our General and followers, j and so live that we may meet and serve un der his leadership again in that bright land , where wars cease, and Yankees cannot enter.

The Federal Congress has recently author ized the publication of a volume detailing iLs action with regard to an in ve-digation of what i* popularly styled the “ Massacre at Fort Pillow.’’ That terrible power of ftlsebood, which has been etoko.J from the brginoirg for our destruction, runs ri-n iti this foul com pilation, and *»twitb-tamiiug the glaring in congruities of statement, ifae responsibility 05 !lt^ ro *itaesses, and «h e atm-uce of tho usual oath, a plausible subtlety percolates iae naraine amply suffi. tent to captivate the unthinking and ungenerous multitude.

Finding that ad their predictions aj to the peculiar lusttiuiion being a “slumber ing voicana, had proven fallacious, our at irocious enemy casts about for an approxi mate fulfillment of his gloomy Horoscope. It was easy enough, by fraud and violence, to fi the ranks with black men, but the task of making warriors of such m tterial not quite so facile.

It had been a ways that a *•■»» >!-jr ?:• » figi-t - erffo, a negro, if inspired with the idea the*- was no hope ot mercy in his submission, or escape iu bis flight, would make a fine soldier. The only requisite, therefore, wus to create this impression. He must be made desperate by the idea that over him the black flag was al ways flying. Teach him that uo quarter has been shown to his coior in the pan, that none is tobe hoped for ia the future, paint before his imagination in vivid colors, tne horrors of some battle-field, where men of his race, in vain hope ot mercy, have grounded their arras or sought safety in flight, and a* Lis eyes open wide, and his lips protrude in terror aud amazement, let his ears drink in the recital of the scenes of faithlessness and bloodshed with which the infuriated Southerners illus traied that dark and bloody grouud. Teach him his lesson .veil—leCbina hear the same story iterated and reiterated from all the whites around him. The negro is almost as sensatorial as the Yankee—create a sensation. He has strong religious sensibilities and weak religious intelligence—instil into him, as a matter of religious obligation, the duty of avenging his slaughtered brethren. T 1 • is very impressible by parade aud ceremony —marshal i.i column, and impose a sacred oat- to re-. . member and be avengei. It will make him a useful soldier and a terrific scourge.
