Columbus, Ga Saturday Moraing, September 17,1864. Friday Evening. Special Correspondence of the Times. I Arrival of the first Train of Exiles—What they i have to soy about Atlanta and Gen. Sher man’s movements—Correspondence between Sherman an i Rood — Gen. Sherman's Order. Lovkjot’s Station, Sept. 14th, 1864. The first installment of Atlanta exiles, driv en from their homes by the heartless order of Sherman, arrived within our lines yesterday. They filled with their furniture &c., some fif teen box cars, and, notwithstanding quite a fatiguing trip all the way from Atlanta to t Lovejoy in wagons, seemed in a very good I state of preservation. Among those who came through upon this first trip, there are not more than two or three families of any wealth—the balance comprise families in rather limited circumstances. They were allowed to bring all their slaves ; who were willing to leave, and most of them found no difficulty in inducing their servants ; to follow them. From them I learned that General Slocum, the Commandant of the Post, j had his quarters in Mr. Dabney’s fine house; i and that General Sherman, who entered the ! city for the first time last Thursday, had es tablished himself iu Mr. Neil’s splendid resi dence near Abe City Hall. Sutlers and others, had brought into the city quite a large amount of goods of all kinds, and were driving a brisk trade. Sugar was selling at fifteen cents per pound for greenbacks. Large amounts* of Commissary and Quar termasters stores were also being brought in daily, and ail the large stores and warehouses were being rapidly filled. Tho Yankee troops in the city were admira bly disciplined, and but few outrages of any kind had been committed in the city proper. Around upon the suburbs some robberies had occurred, but, altogether, the people had not been molested as much as was expected. The Yankee field transportation was in a deplorable condition, and the mules used in the conveyance of the exiles to Rough and Ready, were almost worn down to skeletons. This would go to prove that the frequent in terferences with their railroads had began to tell upon their stock. Some of the Yankee teamsters told our people, that .they could not have managed to keep up their teams two weeks longer had Atlanta been held. These statements, coming as they do, have to be taken with many grains of allowances. Some of Gen, Sherman's staff officers who pretended to be posted in future military movements, informed a very intelligent ex ile, that Sherman’s plan of operation, after resting his troops, would be to send out three columns, — one upon Augusta, one upon Ma con and the other upon Columbus or Mont gomery. The truce of ten days, commencing upon Monday morning and ending upon Thursday morning next at daylight, is not a general ar mistice, as was at first supposed by many. It embraces only the Station at Rough and Ready and a circumference of two miles. I enclose you herewith a copy of some addi tional correspondence between Generals Sher man and Hood upon the subject of the exile order, and embracing quite a wide field of col lateral issues. The letter of Gen. Sherman, is about equal to his active, brilliant and epistolary effusions; and they should all be preserved by his admiring coun trymen as a specimen of what a General can do when he tries. Just think of a man pretending to be a cultivated gentleman, fusing such slang expressions as “tell this to the marines and not to me,” in a document which is to become part and parcel of the history of his country. Gen. Hood's reply, which I.will forward to morrow, although chaste in language, and quite correct in its deductions, enters too much into de tails, and I think he exhibits weakness, in allow ing Sherman to draw him into a discussion not germane to the question; and upon matters which have long since been ably argued and settled in our legislative halls. He should have dismissed him in a veryjEew words. I enclose yourtilso, Sherman’s order in reference to the truce. OUTLINE. Arrival of more Exiles—The Rumors they briny — The Columbus Battle Field Relief Committee. Lovejoy's Station, Sept. 15,1864. The arrival of the second shipment of Atlanta exiles was about the only occurrence which dis turbed the quiet dullness of yesterday. The arrivals comprised mostly women and chil dren, to the amount of about five hundred—the males preferring, in most cases, to remain within the Yankee lines. From some of them I learned that it was cur rently rumored in Atlanta, and believed by the Yankee authorities, that a money train had been captured by Southern guerillas near Cartersville Station on the Georgia State Pvoad. This rumor is more likely a ruse gotten up by the Yankee authorities, to quiet the army upon the subject of pay long since due them, although it is not altogether improbable. It was also ru mored in Atlanta that Forrest was in the rear.— This straw indicates that they are not altogether confident of the stability of their line of commu nication. One thing is certain they do not pray more fervently against the coining of the “Wizard of the Saddle” than this army and people do fer his going. The Relief Committees, your noble Columbus j Committe among the number, which have been | stationed at Griffin since the retreat, have been ordered below. The Columbus Committee will return home with their car for the present. In this connexion let me say that I have watch j ed the career of these committees closely and can I testify cheerfully to their immense usefulness. — The amount of good they have effected in rrinis ’ tering to the wants of the sick and wounded from Marietta to this point is incalculable. They de serve the gratitude of the army and country. I have dropped in on several occasions upon the members of the Columbus Committee, several of whom are old personal friends, and have universal j ly found them with shirt sleeves rolled up work | ing away arranging soups and other delicacies for the soldiers. Their position is no sinecure, and I I could not at times, withhold a smile, at the vim and ease with which Messrs. Goodrich, Wood, Brann&n and others went into the work of cutting up vegetables and meats. One wonld imagine that they had served an apprenticeship at some first class restaurant; and the savory odours which were wafted from time to time from steeming pots, ; made me often wish myself a subject for their es pecial care and attention. God speed the Relief ! Committees in their various journeyings say I, and I ask sincely for His special protection of the members of the model Columbus Committee. I enclose you, according to promise, Gen. Hood’s | roply to Sherman’s last letter. OUTLINE. Army Correspondence of the Savannah Republican. Richmond, Sept. 9, 18G4. Grant calls for one hundred thousand more men—only one hundred thousand—to finish up the rebellion at once. Two millions and more have been mustered into the armies ot the North, of whom hundreds of thousands now sleep in the soil of the land they iuvaded, or creep about their homes ou crutches aud with enfeebled frames, while only a small remnant of the multitudinous host confronts us on the field of battle. This vast army has not been found sufficient for the work in hand. At first the famous “anaconda’ - principle was tried; these immense forces were scattered over the country, and an effort made to en velope us in their folds aud crush us to death. This plan having failed, the policy at present relied on its concentration, the massing to gether of the Federal armies, and an attempt to reach particular points supposed to be vital. In order to carry out this policy, it was found necessary to abandon the Trans- Mississippi country, to give up nearly the whole of the States of Mississippi and Ten nessee, and to withdraw entirely from the mainland of the Atlantic States, except in Georgia and Virginia. And even in those States they hold in the one only James river, the waters around Fortress Monroe and Nor folk, and the ground on which they stand at Petersburg; and in the other, only Atlanta and the line of railway leading from thence to to Chattanooga. Their present policy has been crowned with success at Atlanta only. In Virginia it has cost the United States 125,000 men in four months, without bringing them any nearer to success, and in the Red river country it has proved a bloody and disastrous failure. No Yankee foot now treads the soil of the great State of Texas, and Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina, except along the sea coast and some of the rivers, are almost equal ly free from the presence of the foe. But suppose Grant gets the 300,000 men for whom he frantically calls—2oo,ooo of whom are to bo distributed along the rail ways river3, and 100,000 to be placed in the field for offensive operations—what then? Will these one hundred thousand men enable him to capture Richmond and reach Macon? If they do, will the occupation of these points be followed by the results which he seems to anticipate? -Having succeeded thus tar, will he not then find it necessary to revert to the original plan and distribute the remaining remnant of his forces throughout the country, in order to hold it? Perhaps he may consider Mac cm and Richmond as vital points, the holding of which will so far disable us as to render the subjugation of the people and the confiscation of their property an easy mat ter. If such are his hopes, then they are des tined to be disappointed. The truth is, the South, like Milton’s archangel, ha3 no vital point, but is instinct, with equal life and resis tance throughout all its members aud parts, and “cannot, but by annihilating,' die.”— The possession by the enemy of Macon, Au gusta, or Richmond, would be a serious mis fortune, but not an irreparable, disaster. In such an event, our lines of communication would be cut and our armies separated from each other, but the parts, still retaining the principle of vitality and the means of subsist ence, would continue to fight on as heretofore. When Vicksburg and the Mississippi river passed into the hands of cur enemies, the faint hearted believed we were totally undone; and yet the loss of the farther of waters has been a slight misfortune to us and a doubtful benefit to them ; while the Confederate army, on its western side, has not only been able to hold its ground, but has actually driven the invader out of the country. But if Grant increases his army we must increase ours also. If he brings 300,000 fresh men into the field, we must bring at least half of that number. How are we to do this? By calling out every detailed man that can be spared, and placing a disabled soldier in his place, by sending to the field all able-bodied men in the Quartermaster’s, Subsistence and Medical Departments of the army whose duty can be performed by men who have lost an arm or a leg iu the service, substituting col ored tor white drivers, and by revoking the exemptions of the greater part of the six or seven thousand civil officers in each one of the ' Slates of the Confederacy. There are many men hid away ifi all the departments, civi and military, both of the Confederate and State Governments ; and there is hardly a General or Field Officer in the army, or a major quartermaster or commissary, surgeon, ! military court, ordnance, or signal officer, who ! is not protecting or keeping out of service -some relation or friend, contrary to the laws of Congress and the Army Regulations. Here is work for the Press.. Some of the . best friends of the Press do not believe that | it has done its duty the last two years as it did j the first two year3 ot the war. Some of the ; numbers have grown querulous and censorious : and are given to finding fault and sowing the seeds of dissension. They no longer speak of j the mistakes of government and commanding i officers as one friend should speak of another of his errors. They do not mean to be fac tious, or to cripple or embarrass those in au thority : yet such is the natural effect of their j course. By returning to its former patriotic ! policy; by exercising its ingenuity to find a good motive, rather than assign a bad one for the actions of those from whom it differs ; by abstaining alike from unmerited praise as ; well as undue censure; by criticising with i candor and justice, and pointing out the er rors of public men with a view to the correc : tion of them rather than for the purpose of finding fault—by pursuing a course of this j kind, the Press may accomplish incalculable good, add much to the effective strength of i 1 our military estab 1 : and do much to repair the injury which certain well meaning but indiscreet journals in different parts of the country have done to the. army of Tennessee. These journals atone time allowed themselves to become the organs of particular officers in that army, andpermitted their correspondents 1 in the field to heap fulsome praise upon their favorites, while they pursued others with an ! sparing pens. In this way the seeds of dis cord were planted iu the army, modest merit was overlooked, ihe ambition of incompetent men to command the army unduly stimulated, ana the General commanding brought into disrepute, and his wisest combinations often : frustrated. ■ I might here reproduce a remark made by i Gen. Lee. whose moderation is well kuown, ! $5.00 Per Month in regard to the class of newspapers referred | to ; but the remark may not have been intend jed for the public, and I refrain. I would not j have you think, however, that I desite to read j any portion of the Press a lecture ; on the con trary, Ido not feel guiltless myself. It is be cause I mean to practice my own precepts ; and because lam connected with the Press, | and interested in its success and the great cause it has done so much to uphold, that I * have ventured to speak thus plainly. The | Press should be patient and just, and at all times fearless and independent. P. W. A. Sherman’s Order of Exile. Headq'rs Militart Division op the Miss’ippi, 1 In the Field, Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 4, 1864. j Special Field Orders, { No. 67. j I. The City of Atlauta being exclusively requir ed for warlike purposes, will at once be vacated by all except the Armies of the United States and such civilian employees as may be retained by the proper Departments of Government. 11. The Chief Quartermaster, Col. Easton, will at once take possession of buildings of all kinds and of all staple articles, such as cotton, tobacco, Ac., and will make such dispositions of them as are required by existing Regulations, or such or ders as he may receive from time to time from tho proper authorit. s. 111. The Chiet Engineer will promptly roconnoi ter the city and suburbs, aud indicate the sites needed for the permanent defenses of the place, together with any houses, or other buildings that stand in his way, that they may be set apart for destruction. Col. Easton will then, on consulta tion with the proper officers of the Ordnance, Quartermaster, Commissary, Medical and Railroad Departments, set aside such buildings and lots of ground as will be needed fbr them, and [have them suitably marked and set apart; he will then, in consultation with Generals Thomas and Slocum, set apart such as may bo necessary to the proper administration of the military duties of the De partment of the Cumberland and of the Post of Atlanta; and all buildings and materials not thus embraced, will be held subject to the use of the Government as may hereafter arise, according to the just Rules of the Quartermaster’s Department. IV. No General, Staff or other officer, or any soldier, will on any pretense occupy any house or shanty, unless it be embraced iu the limits assign ed as the camp of the troops, to which such Gen eral or Staff belongs; but the Chief Quartermaster may allow the troops to use boards, shingles or materials of buildings, barns, sheds, warehouses and shanties not needed by the proper Departments of Government, to be used in the reconstruction of such quarters and bivouacs as the troops and officers serving with them require, and he will also provide, as early as practicable, tho proper allow ance of tents for the use of the officers aud men in their encampments. V. In proper time, just arrangements will b« made for the supply to the troops of all articles they may need, over and above the clothing, pro visions, <fce., furnished by Government, and on no pretense whatever, will traders, manufacturers or sutlers bo allowed to settle in the limits of tho for tified places, and if they manage to come, in spite of thi3 notice, the Quartermaster will seize their stores and appropriate them to the use of tho troops and deliver the parties, or other unauthorized citi zens, who thus place their individual interest above that of the United States, in tho hands of some 1 Provost Marshall to be put to labor on the Forts, or conscripted into one of the Regiments or Batte ries already in service. VI. The same general principles will apply to all Military Posts, south of Chattanooga. By order of Major General W. T. Sherman. L. M. DAYTON, Aid-de-Canap. Official. THK EXODUS. In accordance with tho foregoing order from General Sherman, the exodas of the inhabitants of Atlanta began on Monday morning. A large number of them have arrived in Macon and ex cited by their presence, a great deal of sympathy and curiosity from their many visitor*. Amongst the most prominent citizens who havo arrived Lera are Mr. James Clark and family and Mr. Sidney Root’s family. These refugees report that a great deal of suffering and distress exists in the city, the general condition of which is represented as being terrible. The citizens who come South are not permitted to bring any household stuff of any consequence, the quantity being very limited, whilst those who have chosen to go North cany* what they wish.— The negroes, with but few exceptions, have elected to remain with the Yankees. Ihere was no doubt entertained on this point, by every one who had any good sense, that they would do so, when tho opportunity occured, henco there is little surprise created by the announcement, and little sympathy extended to those who unwisely kept their male servants in such a dangerous locality. Tho removal will occupy the entire period of the Armistice, and as a large number of persona have concluded to go North, doubtless the removal will continue during a longer period than the truce.— We learn that Sherman’s order has been extended to all the towns and villages in the military occu pation of the Yankee army. Thus he is determin ed to depopulate and desolate the country in his rear. The people in the villages and towns-along the State Road being thus subjected to the bar barous command of expatriation will soon be i» our midst or else be sent North, either of which 1 conditions must be a great calamity to then: in the present condition of the country. On account of this extension of the order a large number of people are expected from Marietta and tho various places above, by their friends, who are awaiting them. * This expatriation policy of Sherman merits the condemnation of civilized nations. It is the very summit of brutality, and could only have been in vented by a fiend whose soul is stamped with the devil’s own hideous image. In it, we see revived the most barbarous principle of - war that bas ever disgraced the most uncivilized nations of earth, together with his favorite principle, that destruc tion aud annihilation is the object of war, the bar barism is perpetrated with the cold hearted pur pose and action of an executioner. — Intelligencer. (Special Army Correspondence of the Rebel.) From tUe Front. Lovejoy Station, Sept. 14, 1864. The banished citizens from Atlanta, continue to j arrive. Some five hundred families have already j came through. Many of them report the most j I deplorable condition of the Atlanta populace.— ! About one half of the population elected to go to j : Tennessee, andthe rest were coming, and prepar ing to come South. Scarcly any of them saved I anything but a few articles of elothing and furni ture—the remainder of the household goods bav -1 ; D g been sacrificed to the insatiable Moloch of in vasion. The Federal soldiery, though not per- j mitted to commit personal outrage, were insulting to a degree. One venerable lady relates that a Cerolean shouted to her on the street, in unmis takable New England twang: * “Where you going—North ?” “No sir—seen enough of the North—wc are going South !” “Then you are going to II —1” ejaculated the po- j , lite puppy. “Well,” was the redoubtable dame’s rejoinder— “if we do, old Sherman will have a chance to flank us out of it, for he is mighty certain to get there first 1” j Sherman, with characteristic cunning, would permit none of the younger men of town to come ; South of his lines, and ordered them all in the op posite direction. The yatkees told the exiles that Forrest was in their rear ‘playing the very devil.” Numer ous reports through the same channel have reach ed us, of the appearance of Forrest upon Sherman’s rear line of railway communication, though it may be, that recent operations of Wheeler have given rise to these rumors. Some of tho families who came out were trans ported by wagons oyer a rongh road, and are naturally much fatigued and travel stainel from toilsome pilgrimage.
